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

Guided by the chief, he moved the place to something like the arena.

"I'm surprised there's such a place in the Spirit Clan."

"This is mainly where we train magic. This is where we train magic, so we've got plenty of room."

"And then, when magic fails, there's always a line between us so there's no damage around."

Luna and Sola explained that to me.

Is there going to be what the chief calls a 'trial'?

What the hell is it about?

I'm just getting a little nervous.

"Get on stage"

As the chief told me, I went up to the arena stage.

Following me, Canade tries to go up too...

"Daughter of the Cat Spirit Clan. And the others. You guys can't."

"Nha? Why?"

"I don't need to be sure of your powers. If it's the most powerful species, it's definitely got the right amount of power."

"Do you mean I'm the only one taking the test?

"That's right. Anxious?"

"No problem"

Eyes on the Canades.

"So... everybody stay back"

"But..."

"It's okay, 'cause I wouldn't have a problem. You would have done that before, wouldn't you?

"Nyah... Rain tends to lie a little bit about himself"

... Would I have?

"But... yeah. I believe you! Good luck."

"Thanks"

Canade and everyone else waited beside the arena.

"Let the Lord fight against a certain opponent from now on"

"A certain opponent...?

I care a lot about the way you put it.

How strong an opponent is that?

Nature and vigilance rise.

"Fight one-on-one and admit to the Lord if you can defeat him"

"What are the terms of victory?

"Literally, by knocking it down."

"It's..."

"What. Are you going to win already?

"It's not like that."

"Hmm... no need to worry weird. The Lord's opponent is a magically created 'thing'. There is no life. So you don't have to worry about that."

"I was relieved to hear that"

I don't know what kind of person he is...

Let me do everything I can.

I really need you to admit it.

Besides, we don't have time.

If you can, I'd like to call it a short-term showdown.

... I was thinking about that.

Yeah, it's not going to be that easy, and I'm reminded that it's a sweet idea.

"Your Lord's opponent is... he is!

Space distorted......

A giant mirror appeared.

"Is this...?

You see me in a giant mirror.

I looked surprised in the mirror.

"Huh!?

Unexpectedly, I smile in the mirror.

But I'm not laughing.

I in the mirror move out on my own...

From the mirror to the real world.

The other me showed up out of the mirror.

"Niya, right on!?

"Two Rains......?

I heard the surprise of Canade and Tania.

Though I don't speak to you either, I'm terribly surprised.

What the hell is this...?

"That's the Lord's opponent."

"Me... right?

"Yes, that means fighting yourself"

"Fight yourself..."

"The nature of a person can only be discerned when confronted with oneself. Therefore, let the Lord fight against himself. Now show us the power... of the Lord's heart."

The elder rang his hand with bread...

That signaled the start of the battle.

――――――――――

The other me...

It's hard to say, so let's call it a 'shadow'.

A shadow came running with the signal.

"Huh!"

Fast!

It's like the wind.

I can't stop the shadow I rushed out of, and I'll allow it to go into my nostalgia.

The shadow has carried out its fists with the momentum as it is.

A blow.

Two shots.

Three shots.

Flowing motion, releasing a series of hits.

"This guy......!

The first blow was avoided by tilting his face.

The second shot was taken with his left hand.

The third blow cannot be avoided or taken, and it is taken decently.

It's a heavy blow.

It sounds like a shock to the core of my body, and I unwittingly melt.

Without missing that gap, the shadow moves into pursuit.

It sticks perfectly to me trying to keep my distance, and I never leave.

It's like sooo much.

Once you've eaten up, you'll never let go again.

"This...... perseverance!

Pay shadow feet...

Knock your knees in where your body leaned.

That doesn't end there, spinning on the spot.

Drop your heels from top to bottom.

Though the shadow of a painful blow, for a moment, melted...

That was the only visible change, and I immediately let him regain his posture.

This power.

And this endurance.

The shadows seem to accurately copy my status.

When...

"Damn!?

Shortly after I had a bad feeling...

The shadow chanted the fireball three times at the same time and let it go this way.
