Meet Beast Tamer, the mightiest species of cat ear girl banished from the brave party
196. Wrongful accusations
"What?"
All of a sudden, they say they're going to arrest him, and Tania's eyes get round.
I think I look similar.
Could it be a stellar joke?
... Oh, my God, Stella's face was even more serious.
The two knights, who seem to be subordinates, also have their hands on the pattern so that they can fall through the sword at any time, surrounding Tania from left to right.
"Hey, hey, seriously? Why should I be arrested?"
Suddenly he was told he was going to arrest him, and Tania said in a bad mood.
Release mild anger.
Although the two knights like his men are frightened by Tania's anger...
That's right, Stella keeps pointing her sword at Tania without any fright.
"I mean it. Quiet, let's get you to the Knights Branch."
"Hmmm... I don't know, but you seem serious"
Tania's eyes sharpened like those of a raptor.
"But you should look at them and tell them that, right? It's foolish to think that you can do something with this strength of mine. That sweet thought, beat it back..."
"Holy shit!
He hastily stopped Tania entering the fighting posture.
"Hey, why are you stopping me!?
"Don't try to fight all over the city like this! And first, we need to hear what's going on."
"You don't have to listen to him who's making a fuss about arresting me."
Tzu, and Tania turned that way.
They say you're going to arrest me all of a sudden, and I think I'm mad at you for being a Tanya.
I don't know how you feel. But I don't...
I need you to calm down.
Tania is extremely aggressive.
Turn back to Stella as she deceives Tania.
"I'll accompany you, but that's okay, right? So... for one thing, let me know what's going on? If that's the case, we'll get there quietly."
"Mm-hmm. That doesn't matter. We were going to give you a proper explanation."
"Huh, what do you say? I felt like no questions asked."
"Don't twist it," he said.
――――――――――
We took the swollen Tania and moved to the Knights Branch together.
Enter the building and move to the private room.
It's not the interrogation room, it's furnished with all kinds of furniture.
Probably a room.
Sit alongside Tania on the couch provided.
Across the table, Stella lowered her hips face-to-face.
To the left and right of it, as many knights of your men as you have just seen.
"So... what the hell is this all about?
"Mm-hmm. It's hard to say... Actually, there's been a succession of dragon sightings here lately. Besides, there are cases out there where they don't just get witnessed, they get attacked"
Me and Tania looked at each other.
Doesn't that have something to do with what happened?
But the question remains.
"In the guild, I didn't hear that..."
"We are currently discussing future responses with the Alliance. Sometimes I don't want to make things too big, and now I'm asking you to stay down. This is it. The dragon is showing up and attacking people, what a spread story can panic. We need to be careful."
"I see."
"So... earlier, a future policy was decided. We, the Knights, and the Adventurers Guild, decided to catch the killer before the damage spread."
"Hey, why are you arresting me?"
"Ugh, Mm. I'm sorry about that... but Tania is the only Dragon clan confirmed near this Horizon. That gives the country a cheap decision and an order to arrest Tania..."
"Scared... don't check the factual relationship properly, did you treat the killer just because I'm a dragon tribe? Not unscrupulous."
Although Tania is angry...
I knew exactly what Stella was talking about.
Perhaps Stella doesn't think Tania's attacking people either.
But the upper echelons who do not know about Tania… the country, did not decide so.
I decided Tania was the killer.
Stella can't disobey orders any more than she serves her country...
I guess I had no choice but to take Tania......
"Well, if that's the case, it's easy to solve."
"What does that mean?
To Stella, who looks strange, I told her what just happened.
Besides Tania, there was a dragon.
That the dragon was about to attack the adventurer.
Describe those events in detail.
"Hmm... I mean, there's another dragon clan that's different from Tania"
"He was actually attacking people... ten, eighty-nine, I guess that's the killer"
"I see... Hmm, I see"
"All right! So my charges are clear, huh? Can I go home now?
Stella shakes her neck to the side, although Tania says with a smile.
"I'm sorry... I can't allow that"
"Why not!?
"Rayne's story alone does not prove that there are other dragon tribes. Of course, I don't believe Tania would do that... but she's got a hard head up there."
"Then should I have other evidence? Ask the adventurer we helped to testify..."
"... a little short to convince you up there. Rain is one of Tania's people. I gave false testimony for my people... and I may judge above"
"What the hell is that? False testimony is a felony, isn't it? And yet you decide to do that?
"Honestly, that's more than likely."
"I'm scared... I'm not talking about going up to you and having a stiff head. Tochi, aren't you crazy?
Without worrying about Tania's ramblings, Stella looked sorry.
It's just... I don't know what to think up there, but you don't.
If you are in a position to manage the Knights, you have mighty power.
But in other words, what is on its back is interminably large.
One thing, if you make a mistake, it could do a lot of damage.
Therefore, mistakes are not tolerated in what stands above.
We must test all possibilities, act carefully and pursue the truth.
You simply can't believe what I'm saying in the field.
"Besides... it's hard to say..."
"What?
"The dragon at heart says, 'I am Tania of the Dragon Clan!' They call it."
"Become!?
"I know about Tania, so I know she's someone else altogether... but I can't tell for someone I don't know. I think most people in this city know about Tania... but they're away from the city, and when they're up there... even more so."
"Take my name at will......! Oh yeah, I need it, but I can't help it for Stella...... Convinced. If that's the reason, I can't help being suspicious."
Stella tells me to elucidate.
"It's not going to be that easy more than having an order... sorry, but while we're investigating, will you stay here and go outside? There's no way I can catch Tania. I don't even want to. So I want you to stay here until we find the real killer."
"Are you going to put me in jail?
"I won't do that. I'm going to have you stay in this room. I just can't allow you to go out, so I'm under house arrest..."
"What's that? It's gonna be so hard."
Tania peeled.
I don't know how you feel. But I don't.
We know there are other killers.
And yet, if they treat you like a killer, it's not a hoard.
Nevertheless, I can understand Stella's position that we have to obey orders and...
It's not like I don't understand what you're thinking.
In the end...
Is there one way to solve this case?
Then I'll get the real killer.
"Rain?"
I saw this one with how Tania was surprised.
Damn...... why are you surprised.
If your people are suspected, it would be natural to help.
"I hope there's another dragon clan and we can prove that he's the culprit in the case, right? Well, if I catch the real killer, it's no problem."
"That's... um. Sure it will... okay? I didn't mean to bother Rain with this case because I was going to solve it in our Knights..."
"Tania's involved. It's not human resources. I'll do anything to prove Tania's innocence."
"... Rain..."
Tania looked happy and stared at this one.
My cheeks are a little red.
Is it lit?
But there's no element to illuminate...? A mystery.
"Can Tania wait here for me? We'll make sure we catch the real killer."
……
"Tania?"
"Ah... well. Well, if Rayne means that much, you mean I'll take care of it... well, please... good luck for me anyway!? If I fail, I won't forgive you."
"You can't fail. It's for Tania. I'll make it."
"Oh, for me... uhh... Rayne, from time to time, you say things that make me excited. Absolutely not insulting..."
"Tania?"
"Yeah, it's nothing. Anyway, I'll take care of it, okay? Come and get the other dragon clans who are doing stupid things to prove my innocence!
"Oh, I'll take care of it"
I snorted at Tania's words.
