Meet Beast Tamer, the mightiest species of cat ear girl banished from the brave party
320 stories, the end of the first and the next unrest.
"Li......"
"Phew."
I was about to speak to Rifa, and a demonic laugh sounded.
Reflectively looking back at Kamui, there was Monica.
"You...!
"Weiss, have you been hit... this could be a little trouble. I could be pissed off, too."
Monica mouths that, but the grin on her mouth doesn't go away.
Rather, it turns into a more distorted, deeper grin.
"Oh, Rayne... he's so annoying..."
"Mmm... I'm sorry... I can't stop you"
Behind Monica, Canade and Luna were sitting on the floor with their backs together, spilling rough exhales.
It feels like I'm sweating amazingly and exhausted.
I'm intact dealing with those two.
Besides, I can't believe you flirt so much...
Are you sure it's a person?
I can't insult you.
I put up Kamui and move into combat, but Monica puts her sword in the sheath.
"... what are you going to do?
"Thank you very much. There's no reason to fight the Rains here and now, more than Master Weiss has been defeated."
"Don't you take the Lord's revenge?
"Because my Lord is another. We only rushed here as reinforcements."
……
"Master Weiss has been defeated and can no longer stampede. Neither does our purpose. I just want to get back at you, but it's just, it's still pointless. Whatever was planned from the beginning, it's not a good idea to act emotionally. So that's it."
"Unlike Weiss, you're chatting."
"Phew."
I have no idea what Monica is thinking.
However, the unwillingness to fight seems to be a word of truth.
I can't feel the fighting spirit from Monica because of the way she's talking to the public.
That's why I'm not a reason to disarm myself from combat either.
If we catch Monica here, we'll know what the Demons were up to in this case.
I'm not going to let you get away with it easily.
"You look like you're not going to let him get away with it easily."
"... can you read your mind?
"Mr. Rain, it's very easy to understand."
They say that a little bit, but I can't believe Monica even told me that.
I don't know... I feel complicated.
We're supposed to be enemies, but Monica even makes us feel familiar.
Are you sure he's the enemy?
Sometimes when I do this, I want to suspect.
"Well, let me get away with it. You can't get caught here."
"You honestly think I'll admit that?
"I don't need Mr. Rain's permission. Besides... my main unit is not here"
……
I thought of it, and I ejected a narcami needle.
You should be seeing it, but Monica doesn't try to avoid it.
The needle stabbed Monica in the foot...... without slipping through.
"Illusion...?
"Rain... he uses hallucinogenic magic..."
"I think the main unit is somewhere else..."
Canade and Luna, who looked exhausted, told me that.
"I can't believe you can do that to people..."
"I'm a little different."
"... who the hell are you? What are you up to?
"Phew, that's a secret"
Monica stuck a smile on her mouth like a child would float.
"Just... keep it up. Goodbye, because what is it? Because of this, why don't we make one, deal?
"Deal?"
"Ask each other one question. Answer that question honestly… What do you say?
I have quite a few questions as to whether Monica will answer honestly.
Besides, I'm anxious about what kind of questions you're going to ask me.
It's just a chance too.
Monica was with Arios.
That means we could still be together.
It could be an opportunity to get a clue about Arios on the run...
Do you dare to ride the invitation here?
"Okay. Let's take that deal."
"Thank you. So, can you start with me?
"Oh. Go ahead."
"So... is Mr. Rain going to be the next brave man?
"... None"
After getting a little lost, I decided to answer honestly.
Monica was in a deep part of the country, so she seems to have some information about the brave.
I guess you also know about the branch.
Then I thought there was no point in deceiving it badly, and I spoke my heart out in order to close the deal.
"Is that true?
"I've had stories like that. It's just that I'm not a pattern. If I have to, I'm willing to fight... but now I'm going to act as a normal adventurer"
"I see...... yes, you don't seem to be lying. Thank you for getting the deal right."
Monica smiled unchanged and lowered her head gently.
Really, he's the one whose pace gets messed up.
"It's my turn next, okay?
"Yes, go ahead. Mr. Rain has told us the truth, so the deal is closed. Let's promise I'll tell you the truth, too, without lying. But there's only one question, isn't there? What do you ask?
"Right..."
This is such an important question.
I can't ask right away and think carefully about the content of the question.
Monica said she was sent as a reinforcement to Weiss.
In other words, it will be through with the Demons.
Perhaps the Lord is also a demon tribe.
When...
Is Arios also involved in the Demon Clan?
"You can ask me anything, but when I can think of enough, that's troublesome though"
"... ok. Decided."
The content of my question...
"What are you going to do with Arios?
That's what I asked.
Perhaps Monica made a move and missed Arios.
Sarya told me about it.
Arios is more irreversible as a brave man than he has done with all that.
And no one pledges allegiance to that Arios first.
We should assume that what we are aiding has some purpose.
What is its purpose?
Intuitive, but I felt very important and asked that question.
……
She was surprised, and Monica had her eyes wide open.
"What's up? Can't you answer that?
"No...... excuse me. I wasn't expecting to hear about you, Arios, so I was stuck with you. This may come as no surprise to you, Rain..."
"What's the answer to the question?
"Yes, I'll answer now. About you, Arios, well, I can't say a word because there's so much going on, but if you still want to say it..."
Monica chuckles, with a superb grin, and mouths its purpose.
"I thought I'd have you become a seed to spark a new war."
"Of war...?
"Of course, it means war between demons and humans…"
"To that? But that's... no"
I'd like to think you're lying, but unfortunately, it doesn't look like you're lying to Monica.
Using Arios to cause another war between demons and humans.
I guess you're serious about that.
The question is, how do you use Arios...
"... Exactly, is there any more service"
Monica's appearance had disappeared, as if she had fulfilled her duty.
Monica's grin is burning in the back of her brain and her unpleasant hunch swells.
That's... a feeling of a new war.
