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

Join Sarya in discussing the future.

Talk a lot and guess your enemies.

Then I read the actions of the Knights and think about the future course.

Do that...

A first conclusion was drawn.

"So... is it the best thing you can do right now to find out about example magic props?

"Yeah, I think so"

Me and Sarya came to the conclusion that the magic props prepared by Arios were suspicious.

There is a good chance that some fine work is being done.

The footage of me committing the murder was also created by some means.

According to Sarya, Arios doesn't try to let go of his magic tricks.

If requested to investigate the case, the video shall be released.

But he said he doesn't keep demon props with the Knights, he keeps them himself.

Full suspicion.

Normally, I don't do anything to control the evidence myself.

It is customary to leave it with the Knights who preside over the administration of justice and leave it to them later.

Yet Arios does not let go of his demonic props.

Something like that.

If I can find out about the magic props, I might get proof that they'll lead to my innocence.

"The question is, how do you get the magic props?"

"If that's the case, we have a chance"

"And?

"Next time, I heard there was going to be a massive investigation into the case. So the Knights, for a while, kept Arios' magic props."

"Didn't you always say no to that?

"If you say no over and over again, you'll be suspicious of your surroundings... Arios, I'm sure you're concerned about that. They decided to lend the Knights their magic tricks."

"I see... then take away the magic props in such a way as to poke them from the side..."

"Yes, we can find out more with our hands."

"When will that investigation take place?

"Tomorrow if it's on schedule...... what do you think? If I were to be kidnapped, I might change my plans..."

"So is that... Well, what's up"

We have the opportunity to seize Arios' magic props, but we need more accurate information to do so.

How do I get the information?

I would have been nominated.

Sarya is far more well-known, and if you move, you will soon find her.

Even if you ask your men to move, if you give them instructions badly, they may be able to detect this information backwards and leak it.

... You can't.

Current situation, we're stuck.

We can't solve this alone.

Then... get an outside collaborator.

Sarya, there's one thing I need to ask you.

"Yes, what is it?

"The exam officers who were at the exam venue. The subsequent footsteps, you know?

――――――――――

Fortunately, Sarya knew what the examiners were doing.

When investigating the case, he also gathered that information that might be of some help.

Most exams are adventurers.

Apparently the A-rank promotion exam is also being co-operated by A-rank adventurers as examiners.

After the incident, the examiners also underwent a minor investigation.

Just in case there's a side connection.

The result is...... of course Shilo.

All the examiners were released and returned to their former free lives.

However, many adventurers were asked to cooperate in the investigation of the case...

Most of them seem to remain in the King's Capital.

If you wish, I want those two to stay.

With all that hope, I walk through the city at night.

Walk from shadow to shadow as you lurk.

"Pi."

The wild bird, who had a tentative contract for reconnaissance around him, returned.

The body is covered in black feathers and is a nocturnal bird, so it's great for reconnaissance.

"How'd it go?

"Pi!"

The wild bird lagged on the spot and rang with his right hand turned.

There are people here, that's the signal.

"One."

One more thing...... a wild dog with a tentative contract came back as well.

Just like a wild bird, he turns to his right hand and rings small.

"All right, you guys, I asked for guidance at this rate."

"Pi."

"One."

Wild birds and wild dogs rang well to meet me.

At a time like this, their literal wild reckoning is really dependable.

Because I feel so many times better than a human being, I can detect people's whereabouts and so on more accurately than using magic.

With the help of wild birds and wild dogs, I scratched a siege net laid throughout the king's capital and arrived at my destination.

"Thanks. That's all you need."

I fed each of them and terminated the provisional contract.

The place we arrived... is the Inn.

Look for scaffolding and go upstairs from the outside.

Just in case you check the room from the gap...

I could see who the wild birds and wild dogs had searched for.

"No one else...... now's your chance"

Put a knife in the window gap and forcefully unlock it.

The keys are cheap because it is not a luxury inn, and it goes easy.

Keep the window open, sorry about the earthfoot but I went indoors.

"Become...!?

All of a sudden, the indoor person was surprised that I showed up.

They were taking care of the armor, and their hands are stopped polishing their armor.

"Sorry to be late at night. I'm gonna get in the way, Axe."

"Stop...... Lost, Rain!?

Axe turns his eyes round...

But the words didn't seem to come out well, so I opened and closed them when I puffed my mouth.

"Suddenly it's bad. Isn't Cell with you?

"No, except for the room..."

"Is that true, too? I'm sorry, can you call me?

"... you don't think it's possible that I'm not a cell, I'm calling knights and stuff?

"Oh, don't bother with that... I thought Axe would, so it was like I wasn't thinking. What am I gonna do?

"Damn......"

Axe smiled bitterly, gasping and wearing his head.

"That sweet spot hasn't changed at all. Really, stay in front...... things are going crazy. Wait a minute."

"Axe. I..."

"Fine. I'll hear more about it later. Now... you'd better have Cell with you, wouldn't you?

Speaking fast enough to illuminate, Axe left the room.

Though I thought the bond was broken once...

Maybe it wasn't.

Somewhere, maybe it was still connected.

I was glad to think so.

"You kept me waiting."

Slightly, Axe with the cell came back.

Look at this one, the cell raises its eyebrows slightly, but that's all.

I'm not so surprised you were listening in advance.

Tell me I'm innocent...

Then I asked the two of you to cooperate.

Axe and Cell can't possibly be connected to Arios.

I can trust you and... more than anything, I can count on you.

If you're on my side, I might be able to overshadow this situation.

"... I see"

We just talked the whole story, and Cell nodded as he was convinced.

Axe next door looks bitter.

"You... don't do anything bold to take the princess hostage and run away... if you suck... no, you don't have to suck to end up with treason, do you?

"Sarya is convinced, so if my innocence is proven, I think I can handle it. Speaking of different people who were supposed to have been kidnapped, wouldn't that be a problem?

"That's well...... no, what do you think? I also find it very difficult..."

Although, as Axe is concerned, it is a rather abusive means...

If you're dealing with that king, I think it makes sense.

Because it's enough to fry my daughter to burn out her enemies...

As a matter of urgency, I think you'll approve of my means.

That's what I decided to do.

"So... can you help me? I can't help it... I need a partner."

"It's a lot more convenient."

Cell says cold.

"We should have lost touch with you. If it works for you on top of that, you'll need to pay for it. What can Rayne offer us?

"All of me."

……

Without getting lost, Cell turned his eyes round.

Axe was also stunned.

"If I stay like this, it won't just be me. Everyone... is in danger to my people too. That's absolutely no good. I'll do anything I can. Literally, anything... So, can you help me? You're right!

I pummeled all my thoughts and bowed my head.

Doing so a little...

"Oh, boy."

I heard a cell sound like a scratch.

When I looked up, Axe and Cell were smiling bitterly.

"Really, you're not going to change...... I'm a little flattered about that straight up"

"Ignoring it so far is just... hey"

"Are you going to help me...?

Tell you what, I thought it was unlikely you two would cooperate.

But Axe and Cell are grinning.

"I'll help you. Oh, don't thank me. I don't want it to be Rain... well, if you insist, lend me one."

"If Rayne is in trouble, I want to help... I think so, so we'll work together. I was just wondering about this one... and you can't leave Rayne alone."

"... thanks"

I bowed my head deep again.
