Meet Beast Tamer, the mightiest species of cat ear girl banished from the brave party

That night.

Take the fox back to the Cat Spirit Clan for a full physical examination.

Although the foot injury was treated by magic, it may be mixed with germs.

Just in case, Finnia treated me thoroughly.

And then, are you infected with a strange disease?

Or do the foxes themselves have a strange illness?

I checked them and found that there was no problem.

It took about an hour to inspect and return the fox to Nina.

"Ku....."

The fox looked a little tired after being inspected.

However, when she saw Nina's face, she got better and shook her tail wide.

Do you think they're friends of the same fox ear?

"Is this child okay...?"

"Oh, no problem." Just in case, Finnia treated me and didn't have any strange illnesses. I'm just a little tired right now, and if I eat breakfast and sleep slowly, I'll recover completely. "

"Great...."

Kon!

I felt hungry and the fox croaked.

Apparently, Nina offered a plate with meat on it, which she had prepared in advance.

Do you want to eat it?

Cucumber!

The fox gnawed happily at the flesh.

Looking at the situation, Nina flinched her tail in a good mood.

”Eat a lot, right?”

Hug hug hug!

Nina stroked a fox eating dinner with a gentle face.

Normally, when I do something like that, I think it interferes with my meal, and I get angry......

The fox doesn't look like that.

while being stroked by Nina.....

Rather, it seems comfortable.

I wonder if it's a good match.

"...... Mr. Rain"

Suddenly, Nokia called me.

Looking at the whisper, Nina didn't want to hear it.

"What do you think of that fox?"

"Not in a physical sense, but from now on... right?"

Yes.

"I see... maybe she's separated from her parents."

Other beasts must have hurt my legs.

Also, there were small scratches all over my body.

Being attacked by a beast separated me from my parents.....

It felt like I was running around desperately.

I think it would be nice if I could return it to my parents.

That's it… Nina said she wanted to keep her fox.

"Ahh... I see"

I smiled bitterly when I found out why Nokia had a troubled face.

That fox is cute.

Besides, it's like a family from the god tribe.

I can't leave you alone, and you'll want to stay with me.

"It's very difficult to keep a living thing, and it doesn't necessarily mean that I can stay with my little fox... and I want Nina to give up." Could you say that, too, Mr. Rain? "

"I can't help but want to do that..."

Mr Nokia is very right.

It is unacceptable to keep a creature halfway.

Besides, there's a chance that the fox will reunite with its parents.....

Given all the circumstances, Nina didn't want to keep a fox.

I don't like it.....

"Hey, hey?"

Kon!

It's hard to say no when you see them looking like they're friends.

Nokia seemed to think the same, which is why she was troubled.

"... for now, let's see how it goes"

How's it going?

"Either way, protecting that fox is a must." What happens if I put it back out in its current state? "

“That's right, it's not going to be a very good result.”

"Take care of yourself for a while... and if you need to keep it, take good care of it." But if I can find my parents..... "

"... even if Nina cries, I have to return it to my parents."

When I imagine the sight of it, my chest hurts a lot.

Nina would feel painful and sad too.

But Nina is a good girl.

And clever.

I may experience a hard parting, but....

But at the end, I think you'll understand.

That's what I believe.

"Thank you, I'm a little relieved." After all, after consulting with Rain-san, you were correct. "

"No, Nokia had already decided to go ahead, right?" I just pushed my back a little bit. "

"It's important that you push your back."

Nokia smiled gently,

Huh?

For some reason, he stroked my head.

Fluffy, you can touch it gently.

The hand is very gentle and warm.

It seemed like Nokia's temperatures were coming through.

I'm going to get soaked, but I can't keep it that way.

"Um... Nokia-san?"

"... oh, I'm sorry. I think Mr. Rain is like a son, somehow."

No, don't worry about it.

It's not that I don't like it.

Rather, it was pleasant.

and.....

I remembered my mother a little bit.
