Meet Beast Tamer, the mightiest species of cat ear girl banished from the brave party
185 words, at the bottom of darkness.
I slept on my back...... and slowly woke up.
Where am I?
Room...... I see that.
But no lighting whatsoever.
The windows are open, the moonlight plugs in and lights the room slightly.
I saw a line of furniture with brilliant decorations.
Other works of art, such as painting and sculpture.
Also decorated with swords, armor, etc.
Human aristocracy room, does it feel like?
But I can't feel any signs of people.
If it's more precise, I don't feel a sense of life.
Why are you in a place like this?
Wondering, trying to wake up my body...
"Ugh... ah!?
Heavy pain ran all over my body.
I accidentally spill a scream.
"Ha, ha..."
I couldn't stand the pain and fell asleep on the floor again.
What the hell is the pain now...?
"You shouldn't force yourself too much."
My voice sounded unexpected.
There should have been no sign of humans in this room...?
Ignoring the pain, I forced myself to wake up.
And looking back...
There's one woman there.
"Oh. Can you get up now? That's great."
Is a woman, like, mid-twenty?
Tall, uneven, clear body.
He was wearing highly exposed clothes, as if he were selling such a body.
And... it's those eyes that catch my eye all the time.
Red colored eyes like blood.
Looking at it, it's going to suck in unexpectedly...
I got that strange feeling.
"You're not... human, are you?
"Correct. You understand very well, don't you?
'Cause you didn't smell like me.'
Once you can get up, you're used to body pain.
It's not so much that I can't move.
Most of all, the state of being forced to move remains unchanged and there is pain......
I didn't mean to show this woman where I was vulnerable, and I pushed myself up.
"You shouldn't have."
As I peeked into this one's mind, the woman said that.
"It's hard to just stand there, isn't it? In the chair there, please."
……
I will try to be sincere about the woman's words.
but I didn't know.
The woman seems to be worried about this one purely...
Now, it was like I was making an observation about how far I could move.
"... then sweeten to your words"
If you're finding out, there's no point in being strong.
And I honestly sat in the chair because it was actually also a hard spot.
"So... who are you? That smell isn't human... it's demonic, isn't it?
"Oh. Do you know that much?
"I understand. Not really, don't lick me."
"Hehe...... excuse me. I didn't mean to do that, but I think you did something to try without knowing it."
What do you think?
I'm sure this woman lies like she's breathing.
It was suspicious how much I could trust.
"My name is Reese. Demons."
"You admit it honestly."
"There's no point in hiding it."
"It's good to be honest...... can I admit I'm a demon? Aren't the Demons the natural enemies of all creatures?"
"Right. But... you're not, are you?
……
"I'm sure you and I can have a good relationship. That's why I honestly revealed that I was a demon."
"... what do you expect?
"Nothing now"
The woman laughed.
It must be using magic and turning it into a human being...
That smile was so full of malice that it didn't seem human.
"Why, did you help?
I'm pretty much sure this woman helped me.
But I don't know what that purpose is.
Originally, the Demons are supposed to be natural enemies...
"Thought I'd scout you"
"Scout? You want me to be at the forefront of the Demon Clan?
"Um, that's a little different. I can't handle as much delicacy as you do. I want to form a partnership."
"Cooperation...... hey"
Can I trust the Demons or something?
It raises questions...
Nevertheless, it is also true that I was helped.
Perhaps you could listen to me for a moment.
"I was sneaking around looking at the whole thing...... no, no way. It's amazing how just humans beat you down. I was so surprised that I accidentally delayed getting in there to help. I was just about to kill him."
"Were you watching?
"That's already perfect. Otherwise, we won't be able to help you in time."
"... that's a bad hobby"
"If you're offended, apologize."
The woman thanked her for all the shapes.
"Ha... that's enough. More than that, what do you want me to do?
"So that's..."
"Unless you're in a cooperative relationship, you say you can't answer? With that attitude, we can't answer what we're going to do either."
"Hmm."
"Talk about your purpose first. We'll talk about it."
"... okay"
The woman laughed again.
Now it was a grin that conceived madness.
"Do we know what the Devil Clan's purpose is?
"You don't have a personal purpose, do you? If you want to be strong, follow the Demon King. That's what you Demons are for."
"Correct. On the orders of the Demon King, we move to fulfill the wishes of the Demon King. And the purpose of such a demon king is... the annihilation of mankind. No, incineration. And that comes first."
"I know that."
"But now the Demon King is dormant and not keeping a decent consciousness. Therefore, we will not be active. Because if you move on your own, you might be pissed off later. In fact, there have been such cases in the past. Well, if it's to the point of being slightly rampaged, it's fine... after all, it's forbidden to move big."
"Interesting story."
"Just like that."
A woman... Reese laughs.
"Because I'm a bounce. If you do it, you can't, when they say it, they want to try it. Because the Demon King doesn't know when to wake up. You must be bored waiting for that. So I want to play, I am."
"So...?
"I want to play, I said, because I'm not so strong. If I'm alone, I'll have to do it. That's why I need strong company. So I put my eyes on you."
……
"Being a Demon, my purpose is the same as being a Demon King. Killing humans. In that regard, aren't the interests aligned?
"It's..."
For some reason, I couldn't answer right away.
Humans hate.
It's the object of revenge.
But I can think of that one...
It never burned as much passion as it did before.
"Well, healing wounds is a priority first. You don't have to answer now. Now take your time."
Okay, so Reese disappeared to melt into the dark.
I, left alone, softly lay my hand on my chest.
"If I get on that woman's invitation, I can continue to avenge... and yet, how can I not be happy? Has something changed in me? If so, it's Lady Rain's …"
I walked to the window and stared at myself in the glass.
"What do you want to do… Illis"
