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

I don't know if I'd say it myself...

I'm called "Horizon Hero."

Previously, I uncovered the wrongs of a bad lord...

By crusading the demons that suddenly appeared in the city, the people of the city began to call me that.

I don't have a pattern for heroes...

I don't feel bad because it's also like a testament to the city's people's affection.

"Er... Rifa"

"Hmm?"

"Maybe you don't know the name of that hero?

"Mm, I don't."

Rifa nodded small.

"But I heard it was very famous. I thought as soon as we got here, we'd find him."

"I see."

"Does Rayne know a hero? If so, I'd like you to introduce me."

Rifa lowered her head with a pepper.

Then I stared at this one with straight eyes.

Those eyes are so beautiful and clear, they don't look like they're thinking bad.

I wonder if it has any important purpose.

"Uh... I'm the hero"

I don't think I have an evil heart and honestly decided to reveal who this one is.

"... Rain?

Seems unexpected, Rifa rounded her eyes.

These reactions are fresh because she's not a very facial alterer.

"Really?"

"It's true."

"... but you don't look strong"

It was a glitch to come.

"Rain is strong, isn't he? We're contracted to the most powerful species, and not only that, but we're also very good beast tasters."

When Canade says so to follow, it takes the kind of trick that Rifa thinks.

"Contract with Canade...... that's amazing. And Tina?"

"Let it go. We have a contract with Rayne's husband."

"But Tina is a ghost"

"Rayne's husband doesn't know the power of Phantom Tame."

"Huh, Phantom Tame...?

He'd never heard of it, and Rifa was upset.

Well, it's rare to use a ghost.

I've never seen anything other than my uncle next door to my hometown.

"Then... but..."

Rifa was bumping and crushing and thinking about something.

What the hell is the purpose?

"Rain."

Slightly, Rifa saw this one.

You looked like the most serious person I've ever seen.

"Fight me"

"Huh? Why?

"I want to see what Rain can do."

"I don't care if they say that..."

You can't fight for no reason.

Not to mention the other guy is a girl.

Well, maybe you don't need to worry about that because you're the most powerful species...

Still, when it comes to fighting, it creates hesitation, right?

"Why don't you let me know more about it? I'm a little unconvinced when you ask me to fight because I want to be sure of my powers"

"Mmm."

Rifa looked like she was in trouble.

Seems a little hesitant to say why.

If you insist, let me know. There's an atmosphere...

Seems like a pretty important reason, so I don't want to be forced to ask.

"... ok, shall we fight"

"Are you sure?

"Fine. Because I understand what is so important to Rifa... then I will fight. Whether or not I tell you why, I'll leave that to Rifa"

"Thanks."

"I'm just not that strong, so don't complain if you're disappointed, okay?

"Rayne's husband, how long have you been mistaken?

"If Rain was weak, what would happen to the others?"

"Fun"

"... please, both of you, don't stir me up weird"

――――――――――

We can't fight in the house, so we moved to the garden.

It's still cloudy, but the rain was stopped, so it's just fine.

About ten meters apart, confronting Rifa.

"Rayne, hang in there!

"Hang in there, Rifa!

Canade and Tina will provide support.

Next to it, Luna sat on the ground and was eating a bunch of sweets she had brought out of the house.

"Um, I didn't hear there was such a thing. It's exciting."

They came to see me from somewhere.

It's not a spectacle... okay.

Luna wouldn't have to worry about getting caught up in the aftermath of the fight.

"How much?"

"Oh, come on!

Rifa kicked the ground and the battle started.

"Huh!"

Rifa stormed in.

Fast!

There should have been a distance of about ten meters, but in an instant it approaches me.

Apparently Rifa's physical abilities are quite high.

It's just that I can handle this.

Thanks to our contract with Canade, we have the power of the Cat Spirit Clan.

Surprise push right in.

Calm down. I handlessly judged the fist that Rifa rolled out.

I guess I didn't think I could stop it.

Rifa circles her eyes to surprise, then jumps back and distance herself to be vigilant.

"Do it."

"For once, we've been through a lot of training grounds."

"I mean it a little"

The pressure released from the rifa becomes stronger.

It was taken naturally.

After a few seconds of staring, Rifa stormed again.

There is no particular difference in that speed.

You said you'd take it a little seriously, but it doesn't mean your physical abilities will go up?

I wonder...

For now, all I have to do is intercept Rifa.

Rifa's assault is certainly fast.

I think it's beyond people's limits.

However, that's what out-of-the-way opponents have done...

More than anything else, the eyes get used to it the second time.

Make sure to squirm with your right arm and tap into the counter blow as Rifa storms.

That blow definitely captures Rifa...

"Become!?

Shortly before his fist hit the rifa, his body dispersed.

No... it just seemed dispersed and there was actually a whole other phenomenon going on.

Rifa's body turned into a myriad of black bats, scattered all around her.

"Nha!? Did you turn into a bat?

"Duh, what do you mean...?

"Ho, this is..."

It seemed unexpected and surprising to everyone watching the game.

In the meantime, countless bats fly around...

Assemble behind my back by accident.

Then the bat took the form of a person and the rifa appeared again.

"Hey, what's that!?

"My abilities"

Rifa pierced me from behind.

I try to defend myself in a hurry, but I get too upset by the unexpected sight, and my guard is delayed.

"Gu!?

Landing.

Moments, heaven and earth reversed.

I get blown up spinning around and roll over and over the ground.

I just made sure to stick my arm up on the ground and I could finally stop...

"Kuh... that worked now...!

Doesn't seem like a broken bone, but bruising is a sure thing.

I need to do my own healing magic later, or get Sola or Luna treated.

"Over?"

Rifa has asked me somewhere unfortunately, without pursuing me.

"Strong for humans. But not to that extent."

"... it's too early to judge that."

I think I'm gonna lose like this, and I'm just a loser, and my heart burns, and I get up.

Come on... it's time to fight back from here.
