Meet Beast Tamer, the mightiest species of cat ear girl banished from the brave party
133 stories, pitch black.
The journey went well.
On the road, I rarely met demons, and even when I did, Axe and Cell were killing them instantly.
That's right, A-rank. I can count on you.
They're looking for the devil, and although the interrogation was laid by the way, it's none of our business.
Pass lightly...
I stepped straight through the itinerary and reached the village of Jith in five days, where I was due for a week.
I am delighted that I was able to shorten my schedule because time is going to be important for this request.
We just started listening to the village...
"Phew, Phew... Ha, Hino... Shh, why don't you take a break? I'm... tired."
"There's no hippo you're talking about..."
Luna and Sola were brilliantly buttery.
We both don't have the strength...
Along the way, he was suppressing his health consumption with flying magic and other things, but he was still tough.
"Nyah, what do we do?
"Hmmm... I can't let you do this, so can you two just keep the inn? Because I need that too. So, Tania and Nina. And Tina asks for an escort."
"Me too?
Tania turned subtle.
"You can't just leave Sola and Luna alone now, can you?
"Well, well... that's not true."
"Can't you?
"... does that mean you're counting on me?
"Of course. I want you to count on me"
"Hmm, you don't have a choice if that's the case. Fine. I'll take good care of Sola, Luna, Nina and Tina."
He didn't feel bad about being counted on, and Tania took it on with a smile.
Behind me, I felt like Canade was saying "choroin nya..." but I decided not to care.
"Nina and Tina, would you mind going to the inn first?
"Hmm... that's okay... me, I'm fine... right?
"We have nothing to do with fatigue. Gun, can you hear me?
"I don't know what I'm going to have. You should rest when you can. It's just an interview. We don't need that many people."
... Oh, my God, half of it is for real, half of it is thinking something else.
Nina is just a kid, so even if she asks, she doesn't know if they'll answer properly.
Plus, sometimes, you might get to hear tough stories...
If I can, I want to keep Nina away from that.
Tina... looks like Yakan.
There's something you can expect from Tina's talk, but there's nothing you can do about it in Yakan.
You're just going to surprise them, and let's have them wait here.
"Hmm... if Rayne says so"
"Okay. Sweet for your words, we'll take our time."
"Oh, do that. Bye, Tania..."
"Yeah. I'll take care of it."
Tania took everyone and went looking for an inn.
"Nyah, Rain. Done?"
"Oh, you got me covered."
From now on, I'll be listening with Canade.
"Are you ready?
"Sorry, did I make you wait?
Cell was waiting for me in discipline while we were discussing it.
"What... that? What about Axe?"
"Axe would have sent me to explore the area. Because unexpectedly, I don't know if I can find a clue about the devil."
"That's right... alone? If you'd told me, I'd have let people out of here."
"It's okay. Probably after the Knights and the others have gone over it all in advance, and it's unlikely they'll find anything. Truth be told, I just threw it away because it would get in the way."
"So what's in the way..."
"You both kind of understand that Axe's head is alley, don't you? It would be more annoying if you could come and listen."
"Nyah... that's spicy"
Canade was sweating once again at the words of the relentless cell.
Axe is in trouble too...
Nevertheless, I can't feel that the cell doesn't think anything of Axe...
As Cell says, don't get lost, Axe goes exploring.
The cell is a cell, trying to play its part.
I don't know, you look like you're building trust.
"You two, Rain and Canade?
"Oh. I can't help but have too many people, and the other members decided to have them look for the inn"
"That's a reasonable decision. Well, shall we go and listen?"
Copy that.
Cell walks in the lead...
Me and Canade followed up and started listening.
――――――――――
I started listening, and a lot of time went by.
"Phew."
It's a cell that doesn't really change his expression, but he's feeling quite tired, and now he was slightly distorting his face.
Canade has no heart or tail.
I can't help but get tired of you two.
The listening went well.
I was able to meet with people from the village of Pagos who had been evacuated and I was able to hear a lot of stories.
I could get quite a bit of information.
It's just...
All of that story is tragic, enough to make me frown when I hear it.
Not so long ago there had been a tragic incident in the village of Pagos.
If they'd listened to me like that all the time, I'd come spiritually.
Cell and Canade getting tired was also an inexorable story.
"Shall we take a break?"
Seeing it, I made that suggestion.
"Nyah... Agreed. I'm a little tired."
"Well... as a matter of fact, I was able to listen to you, so let's wrap it up."
Where I got the agreement, I moved to the village square.
There's a bench just in place, and I'll sit there.
"Me, next to Rayne."
Me, Canade, sit on the bench in the order of the cells.
I feel like the distance between the canades is slightly closer...... is it my fault?
"Phew."
The cell spilled a small exhale and looked up into the sky.
I can see the sadness on the side of it.
"Though I've heard a lot of stories... you seem to understand, you don't."
"Right. The information is complex."
While agreeing with Cell's words, he collated the information obtained by listening.
It started about twenty days ago.
The people of the village of Pagos had a routine that was no different that day.
Adults put their energy into field work and children play in the square...
He said there was the usual serene sight.
But... it was suddenly lost.
"The Devil" appeared.
The devil burned the house, ransacked the livestock... and killed a man.
Before the overwhelming power, the village vigilante did nothing to help.
I couldn't have listened to the specifics...
Apparently the devil has enough power to go beyond common sense.
He happened to have a B-rank adventurer staying in the village that day...
Even the adventurer said he couldn't scratch a scratch on the devil.
It's like adults and children.
You think the adventurer just got played by the devil, as if he hadn't been his opponent?
The devil continued to ravage.
I enjoyed the massacre.
Immersed in destruction.
That's how...... Pagos was devastated.
Should I call it luck in the midst of misfortune?
All villagers were never killed.
With the power of the devil, it would be easy to eradicate the villagers.
It just doesn't seem that's what it's all about.
Destroy the village like a child plays...
And walked away on a whim.
… that's the upside of this one.
"It's going to be a rough opponent in many ways."
"Right."
I agreed to the cell crunch.
It has tremendous power, and its character is extremely brutal.
If I can, I don't want to deal with them.
... Well, that's not how it works.
"Though I got a lot of information... the biggest thing is that I was able to grasp its appearance."
"... right"
According to what I heard from the villagers in Pagos...
The demon figure says it's a girl with wings.
Shiny silver hair with deep red eyes.
A pitch-black dress that symbolizes death.
When I heard that information, I was thinking of a certain girl.
"... Illis..."
