Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

When Assassin left, Tamazuki and Scheherazade were observing him through the world of shadow. They could tell that Assassin would really do what Tamazuki had requested before.

Still, Scheherazade was concerned about one question.

"Will they agree, Master?"

However, even if she asked this question, if Tamazuki's deduction was correct, she knew that the probability of inviting Assassin into their group was high.

"They will."

Tamazuki didn't doubt since, unlike the other Hassan, this Hassan of the Hundred Faces had many entities, and there were no leaders among them. In other words, all of them were equal. However, they had a similar wish, and that was to have a perfect and unified personality, so instead of having Kirei, who could sacrifice all of them without blinking their eyes, and him, who was strong, who would they choose?

It was obvious, right?

"However, can we trust them?"

This was the real problem that Scheherazade was worried about.

If Assassin could betray his Master, then could he betray Tamazuki too?

Words of betrayal were impossible to be trusted.

When they tasted it, it was impossible for them to repent.

"Well, their wish is something simple for me to grant."

"Huh? Really?"

"Having a perfect and unified personality. In other words, he is asking me to make his mind to be like a tool that is obedient and loyal to his Master, right?"

Scheherazade was silent for a moment before she nodded. "That seems to be the case." Though she felt weird, she couldn't deny Tamazuki's words.

However, Scheherazade felt that Assassin's wish was weird.

"While I have never shown it, I am quite proficient at mind manipulation."

"Oh? Can your mind manipulation affect the mind of Servant?"

"I can." Tamazuki sighed. "I have faced more dangerous beings, so a Servant is nothing."

If it was before, it might be hard for him to affect the mind of the Servant. However, after he faced being in the world of One Punch Man, he knew that he could manipulate the mind of the Servant.

Especially Assassin, whose mind was fragmented and imperfect.

Moreover, after being attacked by that "being," Tamazuki also learned the mind corrosion, manipulation, and any other things used by that "being" toward him.

Everything used to him by that "being" before had already been learned by Tamazuki.

It was also the reason why Tamazuki didn't feel that way toward Gaia, Alaya, and all the other beings dangerous beings in this universe.

Still, the current problem was Assassin, and as long as all of the Assassins gathered near him, he could make them into his obedient tool.

Was it wrong?

Not really, since this is what they wished for.

Assassin is a tool, after all, and they wished to become the best tool.

Scheherazade nodded and felt relief at his answer. Though because of this, she became even more clingy since she knew his side had always been the safest place in the whole universe.

As for the thought of him controlling her mind, that didn't cross at all; even if it happened, she didn't really mind since as long as she was alive, everything was okay.

The terror that she felt with King Shahryar resided and bore deeply into her being; as long as she stayed alive, she could do anything.

"By the way, Master, who are we going after next?"

If Tamazuki could get more Servants by his side, then wasn't it better? That way, neither of them needed to work and let the Servants they had invited work for them. Moreover, with his abundant energy, he could support as much as the Servants he wanted to.

In the universe, there were billions of galaxies; even if one of them disappeared, used by him, who cares, right?

However, Scheherazade started to think about his target.

Whether it was Rider or Archer, the two were impossible since Scheherazade could see how hard-headed and stubborn they were. She could imagine that the moment they met each other, Tamazuki was going to kill them.

As for Saber and Lancer? They were even more impossible.

Scheherazade could see that they were like knights in a storybook that would only serve one master in their lives and would only be loyal to them. Unless, Tamazuki threatened them with their Master, it was impossible for them to follow him.

'So, should it be Berserker?'

With Tamazuki's mind manipulation, it should be possible for him to control Berserker's mind, right?

Yet, his answer was outside of her expectation.

"Saber."

"...Saber?"

Even Scheherazade was at a loss when she heard Tamazuki's target.

Assassin was quite understandable, but Saber?

"...Master, do you want Saber and Irisviel to enter your harem?"

"Do you think I am a monster who is thinking by using my lower body?!"

Tamazuki pulled Scheherazade's soft cheek helplessly.

"I am sorry~~."

She apologized meekly and obediently.

Tamazuki forgave her, but then she asked an incredible question once again. "Was it the reason why you wanted to kill Kiritsugu that much?"

"......." Tamazuki.

Schehezade nodded and knew that Tamazuki had always wanted to get his hands on Saber and Irisviel.

Saber aside, Irisviel was the wife of Kiritsugu.

If Tamazuki wanted to get his hand on Irisviel, he needed to deal with Kiritsugu.

However, the feeling of love between Kiritsugu and Irisviel was real.

If Tamazuki killed Kiritsugu directly, then it might cause Irisviel to hate him.

Moreover, Scheherazade knew that Tamazuki didn't like to get his women with mind manipulation. If he really did so, then he might as well force her the moment he summoned her. Yet, he didn't do that, and she was the one who took the initiative since she knew having intercourse with him was the best way to enhance their trust in each other.

Nevertheless, Tamazuki wanted Irisviel and Saber, so Scheherazade didn't mind helping him, especially when she knew it was impossible for her to handle him alone. Having someone to help her with hardship would be beneficial for her.

Lastly, Scheherazade also felt sorry for Irisviel. For someone who was born in this world to die and her husband also didn't care about her, only toward his ambition, ignoring the danger of bringing her in danger in this battle.

Scheherazade thought that Irisviel should get a better man instead of having Kiritsugu.

"Master, let's get Irisviel. Oh no, wrong! Let's get Saber."

"......"

Tamazuki stared at his Servant helplessly before he shook his head since Scheherazade wasn't wrong. He was interested in Irisviel, especially when he saw her inhuman beauty. Her beauty wasn't something that could be possessed by a human, and moreover, she was also a mother.

In other words, she was healthy and could bear his child, too, right?

Cough! Cough!

Still, Tamazuki had prepared everything, and it was his time to move.

"Let's go."

As he held his hand, the two of them disappeared once again and appeared in the middle of the street.

The street was empty, without anything, and on their sides was a forest.

Only the sound of insects, nocturnal animals, and wind could be heard.

Though, soon, they saw a car that was moving at an incredible speed, like a drag racer was about to crash into them.

"........"

Scheherazade quickly hid behind Tamazuki while thinking that Holy Grail War was as dangerous as ever.
