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

"... Huh?

I don't understand what they said, and I inadvertently ask back.

Nor does he seem to have cared for such disrespect, and the king continues his conversation.

"Whoever draws God's blood becomes a brave man, you know that?

"Yes..."

"The brave are trump cards to counter the demon king. You can never lose it. Therefore, a number of divisions were made, and their blood was to be divided. Did you know this?

"Yes, no... it's my first ear"

"I guess. There are more than one person who draws God's blood… If such a thing is known, one may appear who thinks otherwise. For example, I think I will name myself a true brave man... To avoid such confusion, the matter was to be strictly controlled. Only the head of the division knows that there are more than one who draws God's blood."

"Why are you telling me that?

I had a feeling.

I already understood what the king was trying to say.

Still, I dared ask.

"A division also existed inside the Beast Tamer. Its name is...... Shroud. I meant the house."

"Huh!?

Having listened so far, to some extent, I could have predicted...

Still, when they actually told me that, there was a shock.

I'm pulling God's blood...?

No one told me that.

No deceased father and mother, no village people, no one...

"Is that true? In some mistake…"

"At first I suspected. I can't believe we had the survival of a doomed branch a long time ago, because it's too much to tell. But… in my investigation into that, my suspicions turned to certainty"

……

"Beyond the boundaries of just a beast taster, use multiple of the strongest species. Not only the most powerful species, but also ghosts, other insects can also serve. uncover the injustice of the lord of the Horizon and accomplish the crusade of the rampant demons on the Southern Continent"

"... you're doing a lot of research."

"I'm sorry. The purpose was not necessarily to get into the royal family using a revolving hand. And because I remember the name of Shroud... it made me look into things."

"In this short time, how dare you..."

"The royal castle has excellent talent."

The king smiled invincibly.

"By looking into that, I gained certainty. It's the survival of the division, and it's drawing God's blood."

"It's..."

Suddenly I don't get the feeling that they say that.

Naturally.

I've never thought about that, even when all of a sudden they say I'm qualified for bravery.

It's just... there was something I was comfortable with.

At first I took it for granted...

As we all say, my powers as a beast taster are way beyond the normal range.

Not only that, but the growth rate is also slipping out.

If it's because you're pulling God's blood, it's convincing.

There are many things to explain.

"You're a brave man again."

"I... brave man..."

After all, I don't get a feeling about it.

"... what does the King want from me?

"Nothing now."

The king looked up at the night sky.

What's in those eyes?

That is only known to the person.

"Arios was chosen as a brave man, most of all because of his thick blood. The darker the blood, the stronger the power can be gained. With that in mind, I made Arios a brave man. but... Regardless of the power, there is something to be lost in whether that heart is worthy of being a brave man"

Well, that's why.

No words to defend, no shards.

"If there is anything ahead… if things are going to rock so badly… then we may seek a valiant alternative to Arios"

"You think that's me?

"I want to be added to one of the candidates. Without taking the word for it, it's a spare."

"You say it straight..."

"You can't help clouding the words. Besides, instead of trying to deceive me weirdly, I decided I should hit him straight."

Looks like I can see people for sure.

"When the time comes, I want to help. What do you say? Can you help me?

"... that's an unsolicited story"

The other guy's a king, but those words pop up.

Keep Arios in charge as a brave man...

As soon as that doesn't work, I rely on something else.

I don't think I can help myself if they say so.

"If we are to protect this country, we shall do anything. That's what a king is."

……

"Well, just hear it from yourself. What, you don't need to give me an answer right away. For the time being, I'm going to count on Arios. I haven't really thought about anything else yet."

Does that mean you're thinking about it somewhat?

"You just need to keep it in the corner of your head. Just remind me once in a while and think about it. And if you can... I want you to be ready in case you have to."

"... I don't know if I can live up to your expectations, do I?

"That was a 'good' person. I believe you won't abandon the people."

It was a cowardly way of putting it.

――――――――――

The feast lasted until late at night...

The feast ended where everyone got drunk.

Canade, Tania, Sola and Luna, apparently had a delicious drink, turned red in their faces, and as soon as they entered the bed, they stood to sleep.

Nina hasn't drunk since she's just a kid, but she ate a lot and got sleepy, and this one went to bed right away.

Although Tina couldn't eat the food, she was intoxicated by the atmosphere on the spot, and slept as well.

"Hmm."

After I put everyone to bed, I'll leave the room behind.

Exactly, the room is gender-specific.

I'm supposed to use the next room.

……

I just didn't feel like going to bed right away, and I went down to the courtyard.

Very large courtyard.

A lot of greenery and flowers bloom, and a small river is made.

Out of nowhere, you can hear the bugs, and nature plays on.

"What's wrong?

Looking back, you look like Sarya.

He wasn't wearing a dress at the feast, he was wearing a pajama.

Can I see you in your princess's pajamas?

Though lost, Sarya is magnificent, so she decided she must have no problem.

"A little bit in the night breeze"

"Can't you sleep?

"Right...... I can think of a lot of things"

"Does that have anything to do with my father's story?

"That's sharp. Could you even read it in people's minds?

"Phew, what do you think"

Sarya grins mischievously.

He sounds like a surprisingly brown guy.

"Did my father say anything to you? Did Mr. Rain ask you to do something that might get you in trouble, or something?

"Well... that's the way it is"

They told me not to talk about the blood that runs in me, so I duly blurred it.

"Really... I'm sorry, it's like my father said it was impotent"

"Oh, no. Sarya cares..."

"Because my father's problem is mine too. If there's anything I can do, say it."

"Sarya..."

"Of course, even if my father has nothing to do with it, let me know if you have any problems. If I can do it, I can help. I haven't thanked Mr. Rain yet."

"Thank you. If anything happens, I'll count on you."

"Yeah, count on it"

About the blood that runs in me...

And about the promises that were exchanged with Sarya...

When I came to this king's capital, a lot of things happened.

Maybe this is the turning point in my life.

What am I going to do next?

Though I think as I look up at the night sky, I can't find the answer to that.
