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

Are you sure?

When I left the room, I was called out.

I looked back and saw what Iris looked like.

Ellis has a bitter face.

"... you were listening to the exchange."

"I'm sorry." I just happened to see Ellis enter the room... and I overheard it. "

Awkwardly, Iris looks away.

Seeing the reaction, Ellis decided that there was no lie in the words now spoken.

"If that's the case, I won't do anything to blame you." So... what's the meaning of the words now? "

"It seemed to me that you wanted revenge."

"Revenge... yes, yes. I never thought about it."

Ellis looked far away.

Then, I grabbed the hand that was attached to my chest.

"Family mindlessness, friends mindlessness, village mindlessness... no day I haven't forgotten."

Then why?

"Is it because I've been offered an apology...?"

Ellis's face was crushed like that, and there was still anger on her face.

I didn't completely forgive Mina.

That's impossible.

But there is no justice in killing the person who apologizes.

There is no cause.

It just clears the minds of those left behind.

That's what it takes.

I can't cut it off as unnecessary.

I can't.....

“She looked like she was sincerely apologizing. I can't... kill Mina like that."

You're kind, aren't you?

“No, it's just careless.”

"That's one kindness."

"And," Iris continued, sandwiched between her words.

"To hold the blade of vengeance." I admire you for making that decision. "

"Respect...? Why?"

“I couldn't have done it by myself.”

"You are...."

"Fufu, the details are secret."

Iris laughs mischievously with her index finger on her lips.

Looking at her like that, Ellis smiled a little too.

Although he didn't say it, he realized that he had the same thing as himself.

Well, here's what I'll do.

Ellis bowed and headed to the back of the house.....

Oh, Iris found it!

"Hey, what are you doing at a time like this?"

Kanade and Tania appeared.

Both of them turned their eyes towards Iris.

"I can't believe I'm going to spend the night crawling over Rain...?"

Huh?

"What an outrage!" I can't forgive you. "

Huh? Huh?

Canade and Tania, holding Iris from the left and right,

Oops!!

"Whoa!?" That's not true. This time, I won't do that... "

"No excuses!!"

"So really...!!!"

Despite desperate explanations, Iris was taken to the two of them.

"... fufufu"

Ellis, who was left alone, laughed small and felt calm.

――――――――――

"I... would like to cooperate with Mr. Rain and Mr. Chiffon."

The next day.

Mina said that with a refreshing look on her face.

Not all the problems have been solved, and neither the troubles nor the confusion have disappeared.

Still, my eyes seemed a little clear.

"Honestly, I still believe in Monica and Reese... there's something I want to believe. But... I want to believe in Rain and Chiffon just as much as I do."

I see.

"So... I'd like to help you now." If I'm being tricked, I can't cooperate with Monica and Reese anymore... so I can't be guilty again. "

Looking straight ahead, Mina said so.

From those eyes, I felt like I was ready for something that I hadn't seen before.

"...... Rain, can I trust you?"

"...... You're planning something else, aren't you?"

Kanade and Tania gently clapped their ears from left and right.

I understand their concerns.

He fought a lot, and he fought a lot.

It can't be that easy to trust.

Rather, it is strange to trust.

It's weird, though...

"I believe you."
