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

Now that the Stray Forest offense is complete, return to Horizon.

Including travel, it took a total of two days.

You must have been able to attack quickly.

Move to the inn where Arios and the others are staying and ask for a room.

"Hey, Rayne. What's wrong with you? You're not gonna tell me you gave up the offense, are you?

"On the contrary. The offense is over."

"What?"

"Look, it's the shield of truth"

I took the shield of truth out of my luggage bag and gave it to Arios.

"Oh, that's impossible! I can't believe we're attacking the Lost Forest in two days... such a dumb thing... maybe we're not trying to get the right niceties and deceive them with that?

"Is that why? If you doubt it, do whatever you want."

With that said, Arios began to look into the shield of truth.

Gear up, check the front and back, use appraisal magic.

You're a suspicious guy.

Even though there's no point in preparing a nickel thing.

Nevertheless, I guess Arios can't trust me either, as I can't trust Arios.

Thinking about it, I was convinced.

"... sure, sounds real"

"Right?

"Hmm. You mean you can use as much as a child"

"Nyah... I can't believe you didn't even say thank you"

"You didn't apologize for anything you suspected."

"Is this the brave..."

On the road, I was talking lightly about Arios...

They don't like Sola and Luna either, and they look rugged.

"Do you want to? I can do this, okay?

"Nyah, I agree!

"Stop."

The four behind us were having a noisy conversation, so we stopped in a hurry.

"What, those two? More faces I don't know..."

"Don't worry about it"

Sola and Luna have their hallucinogenic magic used to keep their back feathers invisible.

If you find out you're a spiritual clan, you're in a lot of trouble.

Canade and Tania, although rare, never come down to the public.

but when a spiritual clan turns down interaction 200 years ago appears, it becomes a huge rumor.

There is also the possibility of some harm.

It may be cramped, but this is what you have to do where people have eyes, such as in the city.

"So, what's the reward?

"Oh, boy, you're talking about money right away"

"Naturally. For Arios, there's no way you can work for free."

"You have one more thing to say... see"

"Let me check it out, shall I?

"Whatever you want."

Open the leather bag you received from Arios and check inside.

Twenty gold coins.

Perfect fit.

"As we had arranged beforehand. Wouldn't that be a problem?

"There won't be a chance that it's a niceties thing... right, no problem. Now we have a deal."

Request complete.

Now, I don't need you here anymore.

Let's just walk away.

Turning your back on Arios,

"Wait, Rain."

Agus stopped me watching the story flow.

I don't think it's very popular to ignore it either, and I look back.

"What?

"... why don't you come back to the party?

Agus' words are totally unexpected, and he inadvertently rounds his eyes.

It's just that it wasn't just me, and so was Arios, apparently.

"Hey, Agus. What are you talking about? I didn't hear you bring Rayne back to the party."

"It's my discretion. You know, I know there's a lot going on here, but can you leave it to me?

……

Where Arios shuts up, Agus continues the conversation.

"Unlike before, let's promise to welcome you as a decent companion. Of course, it also promises to improve treatment. If you want a reward, I promise you that. What do you say, Rayne? That's not a bad story, is it?

"Uh, are you traveling with him again?

"You understand that we need Rayne's support in recent events here, right?

"Well... exploration and all that is so cumbersome... so what if that's the case? You can admit it specifically."

"How's Mina?

"Well... in terms of having a noble mission, he doesn't seem conscious enough... let's compromise at this point. I don't mind, either."

"What about Arios?

……

Arios doesn't respond.

You interpreted silence as affirmation, Agath proceeds on her own.

"That's why. Why don't you let past obsessions flow into the water and travel with us again? The most powerful species used by Rain will surely also help in the Demon King's Crusade"

……

I was silent.

No.

To be precise, I was frightened and did not speak.

We'll kick ourselves out and come back because we still need it... Oh, my God.

Are these people insane?

I wouldn't be able to say anything like this.

Plus, you can come back, and I got eyes on you from the top.

I'm not saying it's sloppy, but there would be a better way to say it.

"Nyaaaa... it's coming to my head"

Starting with Canade, everyone was making an angry look.

Seeing everyone's face like that calmed me down with wonder.

Even though it's about me, I have people who are as angry with me as they are about me.

That seemed like a great pleasure.

If you'll have them, that's fine.

I don't need anything else.

Turn your back on Agus.

"Are you going to say no?

"You don't even have to ask, do you? You thought I'd be happy to go back to the party?

"Crusade the Demon King and you'll be free of status, fame and wealth, right?

"I don't need that"

Canade.

Tania.

Sola and Luna.

Look at everyone and answer Agus.

"If I have company, that's fine."

――――――――――

Agus sighed after the Rains left.

"Oh man...... did you fail"

"Mukatsuku...... I told you I could come back and ignore that! Are you kidding me? I don't need a garbage worm."

"It was an impossible story to understand our noble philosophy."

The three began to line up Rayne's bad mouth as they please.

A kid who can't see the big picture.

Garbage bugs I don't care about.

Ordinary people who cannot understand the meaning of their mission.

Why did it turn out like this?

Why, did they refuse to solicit a party?

We don't try to understand that the cause is on us, and we don't have to be aware of the shards, we just keep talking about Rain being responsible.

In the meantime, Arios kept his mouth shut.

It was piercing silence.

"Hey, that's what Arios would think, right? You don't want that guy at our party, do you?

Speak to Arios in search of a gavel, without Lene's particular intention.

In response to that word, Arios nodded small.

"... oh. You're right."

"Right! I don't need him."

"Even so... I don't need someone like Rain. It's not a person you need."

"Arios, you know what I mean."

Leanne thinks her story has been affirmed and gets in a good mood...

As a matter of fact, Arios hadn't heard Leanne at all.

Run dark thoughts without listening to the other three.

Arios held her cheek gently.

Where Rain hit me the other day still hurts.

The pain was inflicting anger and hatred on him.

"... I've already used Rain. Yes... a person who is not needed. Such an existence... has to be erased. That's right... that's all I have to do, I should have done that from the start..."

We're obsessed with talking about defending ourselves, and the other three don't notice the anomaly of Arios.

Arios has a dark grin and spills his hatred.

"... I'll turn it off..."
