"Become!?

I don't know what you tried to ask for...

I kicked it off before I could give you the details.

He didn't anticipate my reaction, and Arios makes his face stick.

but he managed to contain his anger.

Arios says, shivering pimples around his temples.

"Oh... come on, isn't it awful not to even listen? We're friends, aren't we?

"He's an ex-companion. Not now."

"Don't say things that don't hold up. I told you. There was a sad mistake, but I... No, we still think of Rayne as an important companion."

"Right. But I'm not."

"Eh."

"I don't think anything about the Arios. Like a stone on the side of the road, I don't care about the bottom of my heart. I don't care where or what you do, but you don't mind me anymore?

"Guru... Ko, this..."

"Arios, please calm down. Good luck, we need to round it up..."

Mina is trying to calm Arios...

That's why I'm hearing everything.

Hey, are you doing this on purpose?

After all, is this selling fights all the way around?

I stick around and seriously think about that.

"Gu... Kimi's anger is perfect. We did the wrong thing. Well, about that... apologize, let's. Exactly."

I bow my head like Arios is reluctant.

"Right. So?"

"Huh?"

"It's no different to my answer. Will you go home, please?

"Ki, you... this is me, the brave one, who said I was doing this... but every Beast Tamer made such a joke...!

I didn't mean to, but it turned out, it took the form of incitement.

I'm not going to lie to the word that I don't think anything of...

Somewhere in my mind, maybe I'm still lumpy.

I guess that caused irritation and hit the Arios with hard words.

"... Mr. Rain. From me, too, please. This is what we need to do to save the world."

Mina's words stop me from walking away.

"What does that mean?

"Can you help me attack the lost forest?

"... in the meantime, can you explain the circumstances over there?

If they say it's for the world, I just can't ignore it.

For one thing, I decided to listen to Mina.

――――――――――

"... I see"

That the Arios and the others are struggling with a stray forest offense.

For that, that you want my power.

I listened to Mina and understood the general situation.

And... frightened.

I can't believe you're kicking me out, and now you're trying to help me again.

Don't these people know the word shame?

I can't tell you anything.

"Though..."

Even so, for once, Arios is a brave man.

I'll have trouble if you don't defeat the Demon King.

Even if the Demon King is not crusaded and the whole world is filled with demons, I am confident that I can manage.

Because we have a dependable companion named Canade and Tania.

With you two, I felt like I could do anything.

But what about the others?

What about the people in the city who normally live there?

For the powerless, the Demon King is a great threat.

Unless the Demon King is crusaded, he won't be able to live in peace.

It is not desirable that such a journey of the Demon King crusade be interrupted.

Instead of prioritizing my personal emotions, maybe I need to think about the whole thing more.

Though...

If the journey of Arios and the others is lagging behind, maybe I can't help it.

Just like my past...... don't do anything that repeats such a tragedy.

"... ok. I'll only help you this time."

"Is that true? Thank you."

"Shit... do a lot of imitations... how could I do such imitations..."

Admittedly, Mina smiles... perhaps, acting... but Arios remains swollen like a child.

He didn't like the interaction earlier.

Does this guy not know where he stands?

I'm not saying sell the grump, but if you're asking for things, you'll have the attitude to do it.

"Hey."

"Wait."

Where the story was about to come together, Canade and Tania came forward.

The two faces were... grumpy.

He even releases a light kill without hiding his anger.

"... what?

Arios also responded in a grumpy manner.

"The truth is, I'd like to disagree... if Rayne decides not to. I don't disagree."

"But let me ask you one thing."

"Ha, you want a reward? Fine. How about 20 gold coins? It wouldn't be a bad story. For you, it's a lot of money you've never even seen, right?

"Of course I'll get paid. It's a personal request to an adventurer. But there's something else I need you to do."

"Yeah? What do you mean?

"Apologize to Rayne properly"

Canade stared at Arios as if he were going to shoot through him.

"You've done terrible things to Rayne. Apologize properly, not the right guy like you just did! Apologize wholeheartedly!

"It's good for me to fool Rayne, but it's so annoying for someone else to fool me. Apologize."

"What... if you apologize, you just did?

"No, that's not enough."

"Sit down."

"Become!?

A hell of a word popped out of Tania's mouth, and Arios and the other three were out of line.

Never mind, the two continue their words.

"Nyah... if we don't apologize properly to Rayne, we won't forgive you!

"From what I hear, you've done quite a bit to my husband, haven't you? Normally, they burn it down without leaving any bones in my braces. That's a good story, isn't it? Hey."

"We're sweet."

"Here, sit down."

"Oh, rub your forehead properly on the ground, huh?

Although we both had an atmosphere of anger...

I'm not.

It wasn't where I was angry, it was heartfelt, it was beautiful.

I'm glad you're angry for me...

I'm a little scared.

Let's not piss these two off.

Secretly, I swear to God, it was me.

"Heh, heh... I'm kidding!!!!!

Now Arios is clean.

"You think I'm going to be grounded for such incompetence!? That's stupid, there's no way you can admit it. Ugh! Impossible, it will never happen, that's not true!!!

"We didn't do anything wrong. And yet you can't possibly be asked to apologize that far. If it was, on the contrary, I'd like you to apologize to us."

"Meh, are you licking it? Ah? Who do you think I am! Master Leanne the Great Wizard! I wouldn't be grounded in a garbage worm though!!!

"That's unpleasant. I can't believe I'm making such a statement... after all, I don't trust vulgars."

Buy words for sale.

Arios, I haven't been able to clean up a single line, and I can't get the place cleaned up.

What am I supposed to do with this?

"Whoa, Rain!

"Uh... what?

"Do you want me to sit in the ground too?"

"Exactly, I don't want that much..."

"Then just let me withdraw the joke proposal! Keep a good grip on your pet's reins!!!

"... pet, you say?

Canade and Tania are important people.

For the first time, I was able to put my trust from the bottom of my heart.

You call them pets...?

"... don't be ridiculous."

"Hey, what?

"Canade and Tania are not pets. He's my precious companion! Undo that bullshit."

"Ha, crap. You spent time with people who weren't human, and your head boiled? Even the most powerful species are not human beings. It wouldn't be a problem to call a pet. Hmm, just look good, huh? The truth is, don't you keep it for fun? Oh man, I can't believe you're having an affair with the beast, that's BEAST GOOO!!!?

"Shut up."

To stop the crappy dialogue, I punched Arios in the face.

"Whoever insults my people is forgiven!

"Ki, you... you beat me up!? When I was a Beast Tamer, I was the brave one!!!?

That's right, should I say brave?

Even after taking my blow, whose physical abilities are enhanced by a contract with the Cat Spirit Clan, Arios lived properly.

This... doesn't seem necessary.

"I'll beat you up as many times as I can."

At the end of the day, I'm clean...

Two parties clash.
