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

Arios One line was still staying in the Horizon.

There's nothing more for this city than getting the shield of truth.

I have to head to the next city to continue my crusade for the Demon King.

But there was something missing.

Gold is a necessary expense for the Demon King crusade, which means a huge amount is paid each month.

Supplies such as weapons, food and water can also be procured locally if the names of the brave men are given.

What's missing is human resources.

With Rayne out of the party, there's no one to support the Arios and the others in the shadows.

No one carries food and water that, when put together, will be of such quantity and weight.

Create a map, no one to map.

There is no one to negotiate with the people of the city and take the lodging.

… etc.

Rayne's skipping the party caused all kinds of chores.

Originally, that's what the Arios and the others should do...

The Arios, who are conscious of being chosen, seriously believe that it is not for them to do such chores.

Therefore, I tried to pull Rayne back... but failed.

So I decided to find a replacement talent.

I made a request to the Adventurer Guild to announce a call for party members.

The effect was outstanding.

A lot of people applied that they might be able to be part of a brave party.

There are actually dozens of people gathered.

Exactly, we can't take them all, and, like I said to Rayne, we don't need foot clumps.

Arios and the others will be interviewing and carefully selecting their members...

"Disqualified."

At the interview venue, which was rented a room in the inn, Arios coldly told the man of the adventurer who came to the interview.

The adventurer man was the same beasttaster as Rayne.

Highly capable, it is not only animals but also inferior demons that can be taemed.

The man, also aware that he would be behind the party, had almost fulfilled the conditions the Arios and the others were putting out.

But...

"If you can't fight, you can't talk."

"But that's what BeastTamer is all about... and I could use demons to make them fight!

"How much demons can you serve? For example... Unlike demons, can you use the most powerful species?

"Mm, don't say impotent. There will be no way a person can use the most powerful species. Even if they tell such impossible stories..."

"Well... I mean, you're less than him."

"That guy...?

"Even if we could use the demon, we'd need that hassle, wouldn't we? You want us to help you? Are demons that could have served that way really useful? You wouldn't stand up, would you? Besides, I guess there's only one Tamer can serve, huh? If we use demons, who's going to support the supply line? Is that you? You got a ton of baggage, food, water? Well, I don't mind."

"Ugh..."

"What we want is, at a minimum, someone who can fight and then provide proper backward support. You do not meet that condition. [M] So you're disqualified."

To Arios' harrowing words, the man could not say anything back.

Drop your shoulders and leave the room behind.

"Not at all... a lot of people can't use it"

Arios struck his tongue as he couldn't contain his frustrating emotions.

As a matter of fact, the man now disqualified was very well suited to the support of Arios and the others.

Even bears can be allowed to tame and carry their luggage, as they had done to Rain.

In addition, the man had a good mouth and was good at negotiating.

But the Arios and the others were not satisfied with that alone.

Rain could have fought, to some extent.

At least, during the battle, I could protect myself.

It was untouchable.

That kind of consciousness was working, underestimating the man.

I can't help but compare it to Rayne, but I get conscious somewhere.

As a result of continuing the interview at that rate...

"Mina. Will you call the next one?

"That… is the last person now"

Mina, who is interviewing with me, said so at first.

"I mean, wiped out..."

"Um... Aren't Arios a little tough on selection criteria?

I saw it, that's what Mina said.

In the beginning, I agreed with Arios...

When it comes to dropping all dozens of applicants, I just want to say something.

"... Mina thinks I'm wrong? Is that what you're trying to say?

"Yes, no. Such a thing..."

Mina solidifies, like a frog stared at by a snake.

Arios' anger was clearly conveyed.

This has never happened before...

Mina was puzzled.

And I hadn't noticed.

Previously, Rayne had become the role of a lightning rod and had taken on Arios' irrational anger.

Who will Arios' wrath fall on now that Rayne is gone?

Who's going to get eight wins?

"... excuse me. That's not what I'm going to do. I think Arios is right."

Mina fled for fear of being turned irrational anger.

When Arios was right, he blindly obeyed.

Arrange words with no contents, just shapes.

What can be raised that way...... nothing.

It may just look splendid, but the contents are empty.

Party bonds, which may have been a little bit, disappear one by one.

Mina, of course, hasn't noticed Arios.

"I have no choice. We'll be staying in this city for a while. Maybe Agus and Leanne, who are acting differently, will find a good one."

"But the journey is delayed..."

"There's been a lot going on here lately. Sometimes you have to rest your body or it won't last. Wouldn't you?"

"Right...... right. Excuse me. You cared about us."

"Naturally. We're friends, aren't we? It's only natural that you care about your people."

Nothing is more vain than words that are not accompanied by their contents.

Are you aware of that, or are you again, unconscious?

Arios grinned like he cared for his people.

"Mina should rest for a while too. You'd be tired of all the interviews."

"Right...... sorry, but let me do that"

"Oh. You should slow down"

"What will Arios do?

"I have a little something to do."

"Don't push me too hard, will you? Arios is a brave man, so if he falls, the world could be in trouble, not a metaphor."

Mina's words seem to worry about Arios and she hasn't seen Arios.

I was concerned about the existence of a 'brave man', not an Arios individual.

In a way, I don't even care about the shards about Arios.

You seem to be worried about an individual, it's like you're not looking at an individual.

It's a vain exchange.

If Rayne was here, he might have frowned.

"Oh. Be careful."

Do you realize what Mina means by words, or do you dare pretend you haven't noticed?

Arios responds normally and drops off Mina leaving the room.

……

Arios, alone, took out the tool bag.

From inside, take a ring with a jewel framed in a disastrous colour.

When I was alone, I got it through a certain route.

The price is fifty gold coins.

From the general public, it's an astronomical number.

The money that Arios has was entrusted to him by the state.

So to speak, national taxes.

But Arios bought the ring without getting lost.

Not your own money, but the money entrusted to you by the state?

National taxes?

That has nothing to do with it.

This is necessary.

It is essential for a certain purpose.

So I bought it.

There is no such thing as waste.

Instead, I want you to rejoice in being able to help the brave.

Arios was seriously thinking about that.

"... if you use him..."

The ring is not just an ornament.

It is a magic item and has a certain effect.

And one more thing.

If the wearer was imprisoned by negative emotions, it could develop into a terrible, dangerous situation.

It's like sending salt to mankind's natural enemies.

Acts that could put people at risk without any sin.

Arios knew everything.

It's in the brave. Seriously... No, I'm in the serious act of being in people, but I don't mind that.

If we are to achieve our aims, we are not going to choose the means.

"I just want to use it right away... Exactly, I can't use it. It would be a hassle if I had legs. You want me to let Agus do it? Even before this, I had spoken voluntarily about joking about bringing Rayne back to the party..."

Agus was supposed to be one of them, but Arios said something that he would throw away.

That was the manifestation of Arios' present state of mind.

Agus and the others, at least, may still think of themselves as a bonded party.

But Arios...

"... No, do you want me to stop? When it comes to being the crime of one of my people, it will still be a hassle. Reputation also falls to the ground"

Arios had a dark... dark look on his face as he rolled the ring flat in his hand.

"Well... somewhere, wouldn't a good pawn be rolling? It's like using him and turning off Rain...... wouldn't there be such a convenient pawn?
