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

"... ha..."

Canade, sitting across from the table, looked like the end of the world had come, spilling a sigh more and more.

I had forgotten about it in the Bandits' case, but had also completed a request to collect herbs.

Remembering that, the more I followed, the more I reported to the Alliance.

Securing large quantities of herbs triples the reward.

I could get a piece of silver coin.

It's just a broken reward for herb collection.

In addition to that, with the reward of crusading the Bandits, three gold coins.

For the time being, I don't have any trouble with the inn.

Nevertheless, when it comes to wanting a stable life, there is still a long way to go.

To temper me, or my first reward, so I thought I'd eat something par delicious...

"... no fish... no, no..."

Yes, it is.

This' Horizon 'has no seafood because it is a city deep inland.

Occasionally, they may get seafood by dealing with merchants coming from the sea, but that's rare.

In "Horizon," fish are treasured as luxury ingredients, and they don't get a chance to see them, and even if they go on the market, nobles and others will soon buy them up.

There can't be a fish in a dining room like the general adventurer goes to...

Canade, who was totally willing to eat fish, was so depressed that there was no more.

"My fish... fish..."

"Uh... the meat looks delicious too, huh? See, isn't this chicken vanilla roasted good?

"I want fish... I don't feel like meat..."

This is serious.

I'd like to do something about it... hmm.

"Oh, yeah."

Remember, clap your bags.

When I was at a brave party, I stopped by the ocean...

Sure, at that time...

"There was."

"Ni?"

"I can't bake fish... see, preserved food made of fish"

"Wha!!!?

Canade jumps up and takes the preserved food with tremendous momentum.

"Ooh, ooh... smells like fish... here, can I have this? Can I eat it?

"Fine. That's why I let you out."

"Ugh... thanks... Rain is a fish benefactor"

"Something's wrong with that. And then I waited a minute to eat. Let's order something else. Exactly, it's a violation of manners to rent a seat only"

"Copy that."

――――――――――

By the time I finished eating, the sun was down.

I'm not going to make it impossible from day one, so I'm going to move to the inn.

In the meantime, I secured a room for a week.

"Oh, the bed. ♪ I'm glad I've been in the wild lately."

"... how did this happen?

A canade in the room with me is just getting in bed and shaking like a child.

I was in the mood to hold my head.

Me and Canade, one room at a time.

So it was scheduled for a week.

Securing two rooms increases the expense for that, but that's no choice.

The other guy is a girl of his age, albeit a cat spirit clan.

I can't believe you sleep in a room with me, you can't think normally.

Yet...

There was no other room available, so Canade and I were pushed into the room.

"What's going on? Rayne doesn't sleep? Bed, it's fuzzy."

"Uh... I'm fine. I mean, I'm going to be in the wild today."

"What, why!?

"You can't sleep in the same room as a girl, can you?

"Er..."

For some reason, I was disappointed.

"I don't care if Rayne's with you, do I?

"Mind your own business. I'm a man."

Hey, are you totally unconscious as a heterosexual or something?

Don't feel subtle about that.

"Nah, that's about all I know. Rayne is a boy. I'm a girl."

"Then you know why sleeping in the same room is out, right?

"I know, but I don't know,"

I get a little confused when people say things like Zen questions.

"Well, that's a little embarrassing, isn't it? Yeah...... could be so embarrassing. I can't believe I slept in the same room as a boy like Rain... yah, my face turns red"

"Then..."

"But I believe in Rayne."

……

"Rayne will never do anything weird. ♪ I believe that, so I'm fine. I wouldn't sleep in the same room if I didn't."

Do you like people or do you not know the world...

Oh, boy.

Convincing Canade is going to break his bones.

"Ready? It's not that easy to believe in people. We just met the other day. It's crazy to believe someone like that."

"Mmm, I think you're being silly."

"I'm not fooling around, but I'm telling you to feel more critical. Because Canade is a pretty girl."

"Nah... they said she was cute" "

"I'm not going to get my hands on Canade... but I'm a man too. It could be an accident."

"It's all right."

"Why, can you say all that?

"'Cause I believe in Rayne"

The story was grand.

"Ha... how can you believe people so easily?

"You don't believe in people, do you? I believe in Rayne."

"I'm not sure what the difference is."

"If you were someone else, you wouldn't believe me, would you? But Rayne isn't. 'Cause we... we're buddies, right?

……

The words stick deep into my chest.

Companions...

I remember when I was at the brave party.

The guys I thought were buddies, they weren't buddies or anything.

It was my own assumption.

So, what about Canade?

Can't believe it?

Don't you think he's one of us?

... That's not true.

Canade is... one of us.

Although we have just met and we still don't know each other very well and sometimes we are surprised by our unclamped behavior...

But he's one of us.

He's my precious companion.

"Rayne is one of mine. That's why I believe you."

"... well"

Shit.

I'm going to persuade Canade, but on the contrary, this one has persuaded me.

"I get it. Nojuku stops. I'll sleep here."

"Nah. ♪ That's the best part."

A smile returns to Canade's face.

I think I was smiling, too.

"Oh, but I want you to turn around when you change. Exactly, it's embarrassing... ha."

"Wow, because I know! In that case, just don't hesitate."

"Ugh."

Laughing canade.

Smiling like the sun.

Watching that smile can make me feel very warm.

If you can...

I've always wanted to be with Canade.

Pretty embarrassing though......

That was my undisputed intention.

It's the first time I've done it, my 'true' buddy.

I never wanted to let go.
