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

I met Canade, and it's been a week.

Things have been going well since then.

Do the request with Canade, have dinner with him, sleep with him...

... No, sleeping with me could be misleading.

I hate that Canade keeps the room separate, I just have no choice but to make it the same room.

Anyway...

I had one problem free day.

When I was at the brave party, every day was busy like a storm.

I was in charge of exploring the neighborhood, carrying luggage, and other tasks as a beast taster, as well as preparing everyone's meals.

Not only that, but I was on guard, and in the morning, I even had the clerk to wake everyone up.

Thinking about it now, it would have been used for convenience.

But that's not happening right now.

I can do what I want...

For Canade's sake, let's move from ourselves.

Really, thanks to Canade.

Without that encounter, what would have happened to me?

That's how I enjoyed my free adventurer life...

There will be a case.

It was, in a way, a case that shaped my life.

――――――――――

"Stride Bridge's watchdog?

As usual, when I went to the guild and was looking for a favor.

Natalie, the receptionist I got along with this past week, was breathing a deep sigh, so I talked to her about something.

Then I could hear an interesting story.

"Yeah, it is. The bridge south of the city has been here for a few days... and a rogue has arrived on the stride bridge... and the next battle is being fought against the people on the streets."

He seemed to be in sincere trouble, and Mr. Natalie looked tired.

By the way, it was just a slightly shattered tone because we got along somewhat.

I'm glad to feel that this is closer.

... I don't have any other reason?

"Is that, like, a chasing guy? Are you a bad guy?

"That was the hard part..."

To Canade's next door question, Natalie did the trick of holding her fingertips around the temple.

I guess it's a headache problem.

"Seeing as a man of strength, he doesn't care who he is, he puts up a fight... it just doesn't mean he kills each other, does it? If he decides he's got a fight, he's going to retire there. Thanks to...... it's also weird that so far there have been no deaths"

"Hmm, that's a weird case. Why would you do that?

"I don't know that. I'm not robbing hardware, I'm not targeting someone specific. A line of harassment against certain merchants was also conceived, but not like that... anyway, it sounds like they're raiding people indiscriminately through the bridge, doesn't it? The average person seems to be off-target... but that doesn't make me feel safe, and the number of people using Stride Bridge has dropped dramatically. If you stay like this, you'll get serious traffic mahi."

"I see..."

Certainly a serious problem.

Stride Bridge is one of the bridges that connects the central continent, where this city of Horizons is located, to the southern continent.

So when there's a case, and people's feet are far away, logistics lags behind.

Sometimes now there's just been a case, and it doesn't look like it's been a lot of damage...

If left alone, it would be a damage that cannot be ignored.

"So why are you telling us this story?

"Well done. You listened!

Mr. Natalie has been stuck around for a long time with the momentum to get over the reception counter.

Were you such an aggressive person......?

Until now, were you wearing an outdoor mask?

But we seem to have gotten along, and I'm happy to see a new side.

"This time, the Alliance has been entrusted with solving this case! So there... what do you say? Why don't you take this request?

"What, we?

"Huh?

Confused by the sudden story.

From what I've just heard, it's a very important project.

Are you sure we can still take that request from the E-rank...?

"This time, it's called a special request, and there's no limit due to rank. It is also possible for multiple adventurers to undertake. Early wins will reward the first person to accomplish the request"

"Can I make that appropriate?

"I can't help it... At first, I issued it as a high-difficulty request, but the people who come back to me continue to do so, and I can't solve it at all... I can't pretend anymore."

I see.

As an Adventurer Guild, I want it resolved because anyone is good.

According to the story, it looks like a lot of adventurers were in return, so I guess that's all they're after.

"Nevertheless... whether or not we can..."

"You can. I'm secretly expecting you, aren't I?

"Really?

"Canade the Cat Spirit Clan and Rain the Beast Tamer, who is using such a most powerful species! It's a prominent stock on sale right now, right?

"... what do we do?

"Uh-huh?

Canade makes it right.

Talk, were you listening?

"Uh... there's someone doing something wrong, right?

"Right."

"Then I wonder if I want to do something about it. No bad things."

It's a really canade-like opinion.

"Oh, but I respect Rayne's opinion, right?

"Right...... Natalie, by the way, what's the reward?

"Surprise me to hear it! Oh, my God, five gold coins!

"Received"

――――――――――

There are places that have been caught in rewards, but it is also true that if there are people in need, they want to help.

Besides, they say there are no dead people out there, so you don't have to worry about Canade getting hurt.

Well, until now, I can't be alarmed because it just so happens not to be out there...

That's why me and Canade came to Stride Bridge.

"Wow, wow, it's a big bridge! Rain, Rain! It's huge."

Canade was scratching like a child.

I don't know how that feels. But I don't.

Between the central and southern continents lies a huge valley.

Depth is...... I don't know.

There were scholars who tried to measure it, but everyone gave up to an interminable depth.

The width is one city?

The cracks that run to the earth by that much are huge and uninterrupted.

Bridges placed in such places are huge enough to be mistaken for castles and fortresses.

The giant bridge is further magically reinforced by a complex combination of several iron columns.

It's not just sturdy, it's wide across to play a vital role in traffic.

There are four large carriages for the merchants, large enough to run in parallel.

"Wow, wow. I've never seen anything like it before."

"Is that it? Inside the Cat Spirit Clan, I hear it's rumored to be the Eastern Continent... but the bridge didn't pass? The eastern continent would be separated by valleys, too, wouldn't it?

"You didn't come through, did you? There's a toll."

"So how do we get to this central continent?

"Mm-hmm. I ran funny, jumped funny and jumped over the valley!

... was a hell of a kid.

Like jumping over that huge gorge...

Again, think of the bullshit abilities of the most powerful species.

"It's such a big bridge, there's no one there."

"Guys, maybe you're afraid of watchdogs."

"We'll blow up the rioters!

"Right. Good luck."

Cross the bridge with Canade.

"What kind of person are you?

"I don't know... there's no decent testimony left."

There are no dead people out there, so if you were supposed to, you'd get testimony about the killer...

Apparently, all the adventurers who came across a payback were depressed and not in a state where they could talk properly.

There are enemies who don't know who they are.

I'm getting a little nervous.

"I don't know what's going to happen. Let's not be alarmed."

"Ugh."

Walk on alert...

As it were, would it have been about half an hour?

I just got to the middle of the bridge... it's finally here.

"Rain, that!

"Huh!?

A roar echoing in the sky.

Huge wings enough to cover up the sun.

A body that cuts the wind and runs through the sky.

That's...

"Dragon!?

A dragon, one of the most powerful species, descended before us.
