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

Arios One line moved south after leaving the city of Horizon.

Through Stride Bridge to the Southern Continent.

And we reached the city of River End, near the bridge.

River End is a small city compared to Horizons.

There is no particular industry such as this, nor is it a tourist destination.

If I were to insist, it would be an accommodation for people travelling across the continent.

The first city to cross the South is River End.

The majority of travellers stop by this city to soothe their travel fatigue.

So, in a way, River End is an important city.

At its River End, it was now plagued by the presence of demons.

Down the River End… a bunch of C-rank demons appeared there.

A C-rank demon alone is not that much of a threat.

If you are an adventurer of the same C-rank, you can undoubtedly repel it first.

But when it comes to being a herd, it's not the story.

According to the scouting of the River End knights, there are about thirty C-ranked demonic flocks.

Besides, we also have a collection of D-rank, E-rank demons, about a hundred in total.

It was comparable in strength to the army.

Normally, it is unlikely that demons without intelligence will flock.

Even among themselves, sometimes, eating together is a monster.

But there are exceptions.

Stampede.

A demon swarmed by the urge to destroy becomes a storm of disaster that swallows everything.

It is said that there are many precursors to the resurrection of the Demon King and the coming of the end, but the cause of this is unknown.

Just one thing.

What we know is that once a stampede occurs, there will be outrageous damage.

The herd of demons that occurred near River End was, without a doubt, a precursor to stampede.

Leave it like this and the number of demons will swell up even more...

When you're beyond a certain point, you'll snuggle up like a tsunami and swallow everything.

Before that happens, we must crusade all demons.

And it was Arios and the others who were given that role.

As for Arios, I was not interested in crusading demons.

Even if the stampede happened, it didn't matter, I was going to walk away.

But rumors of 'The Braves Abandoned the City', born in the city of Horizon, ran all the way to River End.

Still at the rumor stage, in fact, it doesn't mean something went wrong.

But leaving it like this is a bad idea.

So I had no choice but to take on a demonic crusade...... so.

"Shit, I'm so gloomy...... Gigabolt!

Arios unleashes lightning magic that can only be used on brave men.

As a dragon crawling through the earth, an electric shock broke out, turning several demons into extinguishing charcoal.

Continue to take the sword and shake it to cut the wind.

Auga's leg is severed when she growls and hits me.

Where he fell apart, Todome's blow.

Pierced through the head, Auga was doomed.

"Noooo!!!

Multiple demonic assaults, Agus took a giant sword instead of a shield.

Use your whole body, bounce back...

Beat the sword to the side.

Demons who get their bodies amputated.

But it did not come true to inflict fatal wounds on all demons.

Surviving demons regain their posture and try to strike again...

I was reading that.

"Leanne!

"I know! Look, I'm coming... Red Crimson!

Leanne's magic burst and blew up the surviving demons.

"Phew, I'm the one against these miscellaneous fish..."

"Not yet, don't be alarmed!

"Heh?... Ha!?

Lizardman popped out of the flames.

The sword is swung down.

Although Leanne barely avoided it by jumping to the side, there is no next.

A second slaughter strikes Leanne...

"Holly Arrow!"

Before that, Mina's magic wiped out Lizardman.

"Are you okay!?

"Ugh, yeah... thanks, thanks for the help"

"I told you, don't be alarmed"

"Ha, it just so happens! This is not happening again."

"Whoa, you're playing! We still have enemies left."

"I know."

In the words of Arios, each once again laid his weapon.

... After the Horizon, Arios and the others who reached River End were counted on by the city people there.

There's a precursor to stampede, so I want you to crusade a bunch of demons right now.

Now the adventurer is paying off and there is no one else to rely on......

Why do you have to take on such chores when you are a brave man?

Arios initially showed difficulty…

The bad reviews born in the Horizon were spreading to River End because of merchants and travelers.

As it is, it could be two dances of the Horizon.

So we had no choice but to take on the crusade.

It was supposed to be an easy request.

When it comes to dealing with Stampede, it breaks my bones...

If it's a precursor, it's not a big deal for Arios and the others.

All you have to do is kick it with overwhelming firepower.

It's a job that will be over soon.

... That's what I thought.

But what about the truth?

It wasn't even a struggle, but Arios and the others were just a little handy with a bunch of demons against them.

Losing one-on-one is impossible first.

Even if there are more than one opponent, you won't lose.

If you are certain of your previous experience...

Arios cuts in and Agus takes on an enemy attack.

Mina provides cover, and at the end, Leanne sweeps away with advanced magic.

That pattern was supposed to work.

But what about reality?

I was just trying to connect, and my enemies get in the way, like I was aiming.

My buddies are targeted at an exquisite time and I can't take the next step.

Why, it doesn't work?

One more step and I'm stuck somewhere.

It's like God is flirting with me.

(Could this be...)

I really can't fight well and while Arios and the others are frustrated...

Only Agus, alone, was calmly thinking things through.

who we are and who we were before.

What's different?

... the presence of Rain.

Rayne couldn't do any damage to the enemy.

It was the end of the day when the enemy targeted me and annoyed the hands of my allies.

But... wasn't that idea wrong?

Wasn't Rain able to do damage to his enemies because he prioritized allied support over attack?

Did it not enable us to connect successfully?

And wasn't Rain being targeted because the enemy had figured out that Rain was the key to the party?

(No way...... na)

Agus denies his own thoughts.

But even if you try to deny it, the possibilities that come to mind once won't disappear.

Instead, isn't that what's right? I was beginning to think.

Think calmly now, that's what happened.

It's a sure fact that Rain didn't have the strength.

But he was aware of it and was trying to support the party in a different way.

Enter allied support at an exquisite time, and get hit instead of your allies by daring enemies at times...

In every sense, wasn't Rain becoming the 'shield' of his people?

(... No, I think too much. That can't be, there's no way)

Agus shook his head and denied his thoughts, now it was time to kick in.

There's no way that's happening.

Suppose it really happened...

If they banished Rayne, they wouldn't be able to discern the essence, it would mean they would be completely dumb.

Such a thing is unacceptable.

Agus decided not to think any further.

――――――――――

"Get it together and sweep it!!!

To Arios' signal, Agus, Leanne and Mina pulled back.

Before confirming it, Arios unleashes advanced magic.

"Lunatic Bolt!!!

A thunderbolt greater than heaven fell.

In addition, lightning rumbles to follow it.

The raging raging light swallowed and extinguished a bunch of demons.

"Ha... ha... that's it?

Arios wipes his sweat and checks his surroundings.

The current magic is causing dirt and dust, and my vision is extremely poor.

I can't see more than a meter away.

No survival or vigilance...

"Gah!!!

"Arios, behind you!

"Huh!?

An orga appeared from behind me so as to make a gap in Arios.

Shake up a giant fist and take Arios...

"Nah."

"... what?

Something quick ran through.

Immediately after that, Auga falls with her head smashed.

Desperate as it was, it became a demonic stone.

What happened?

Arios looked around in a hurry.

But there's still dirt and dust, and I'm not sure.

"Duh, what do you mean... now what...?

... At the edge of my vision, I felt like I could see only a few cat ears.
