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

"So, I reactivated the facility... and the research turned me into a demon."

Arios says proudly.

Even though I became a demon, I smiled.

What the hell is going on?

How can you laugh?

Although I'm curious about the change in Arios....

But now it's behind us.

We can't let our feelings take precedence.

The best thing to do now is to find Sakura's parents.

"...... Are you trapped by the strongest species in Tartarus right now?"

There you are.

I thought I could blurt out, and Arios admitted lightly.

"I don't know... yes, it's the Fang Wolf Clan"

"Nh...!"

"It's the strongest species I've ever known, so I can hardly remember its name." That's a problem. So... there were two Fangwolves. And one of the demons. It's being used effectively as an experimental subject. "

"You...!"

I felt a strong rage at Arios, who said he was the subject of the experiment.

I want to beat him up.

But... patience.

We need to find out where the most powerful species in captivity are.

"If you're a prisoner, you're in the back." There are a few turnouts, but you can go straight without worrying about it. "

"... really?"

"It's true."

I don't feel like I'm lying.

It was just Arios.

You may be telling the truth, but apart from that, you may suddenly be slaughtered.

If you think about it, you can't be alarmed.

... and apparently, Arios laughed bitterly.

"Oh, I don't seem to trust you."

"Why don't you look back on yourself?"

If you say that, there's no word to return.

Arios is calm.

I used to try to bite right away like a fighting dog.....

I feel like I can afford it now.

I can't see the bottom, it's creepy.

Could it be the effect of becoming a demon?

"Well, that's fine. Believe it or not, I'll leave it to Rain." It doesn't matter to me. "

Having said that, Arios turned his back on us.

"Wait! Where are you going?"

“I'm going home. I don't need you anymore.”

I was able to become a demon.

That's why I don't need the research facility anymore.

Is that what this is about...?

"Also, if I stay here, I might get caught up in it." I hate trouble. "

"Is that...?"

Well, I wonder what it is.

Arios snorts.

That's a nasty smile.

I felt disgusted with malice.

"If it's true, I'd like to try my power of rebirth... well, I'll stop doing that." Don't push yourself, just get used to it a little bit. "

……

Can I just declare one thing?

What?

"Rain... I'll kill you."

That's what Arios said, smiling.

Sharp murderous intent.

I accidentally stood up and distanced myself.

"Arios, you..."

"Don't worry." I'm not going to do it today. The stage is not ready yet. That's why... we'll do it again. "

Wait!

Reflexively summoned the dagger and released it towards Arios.

However, it seems that it was a step too late.....

The figure disappeared like an illusion, and the dagger pierced the back wall.

"...... Arios......"

I was able to reconcile with Mina to a certain extent.

So, what about Arios?

There was a time when I thought about it, but.....

"... it's going to be difficult."

Someday we'll have a complete settlement with Arios.

That's not far.

That's how I felt.

――――――――――――

It's kind of stupid to follow Arios's words.....

I don't have any other information to rely on right now.

Just like Arios said, go straight down the aisle.

"Ignore the turnout and straighten it out..."

"... this is..."

A little further, I noticed that the air in the parking lot had changed.

It feels like it stings your skin.

The air is tingling, and the level of vigilance naturally rises.

I remember this feeling.

While training for Beast Tamer, I once confronted an injured wolf.

The wolf was furious and struggling.

Although it's similar to that time.....

But you're under the wrong kind of pressure.

Dozens of times as tough as it used to be... no, hundreds of times tougher.

Perhaps...... while I had a bad feeling, I was so lost that I reached a big door.

When I gently opened the door.....

"Grrrrrrr!!"

"Gah!!!"

In the vastness of space, two giant wolves were rampaging around.
