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

"... Yes?

I wonder what Chiffon is saying?

I can't understand it and accidentally spill the missing voice between them.

"Ahhh..."

Seeing this one's reaction like that, Chiffon blushed shyly.

But the colored paper and pen in my hand remain offered here.

As it is, I feel half anxious about expectations, and say it again.

"Um... Sign, will you?

"Uh... no... eh?

"So, Sign... I hope so"

"What's a signature... that signature? Celebrities write their names, that sign?

"Yeah, that's right."

"... why?

I don't understand Chiffon's behavior at all, and he gets pompous.

Why do you want my autograph?

Could it be that you want me to be a joint guarantor?

Or are you giving the right reasons to do a handwriting appraisal?

I think about something I'm not so sure about...

Chiffon seems only serious and can't pull in the colored paper and pen I gave him.

"You know, the... I'm a fan of yours, Rayne!

"Huh? Fans?

What do you mean...?

I don't know what more that means.

"What's this all about? Hey, what you're saying..."

"That's why I, Rain, am a fan of yours! I've been a big fan of yours since I was an adventurer."

"... why?

Chiffon isn't just an A-rank, he has a longer history of adventurers than I do.

For once, I'm A-ranked too, but that's recent.

And the adventurer history is less than a year.

I don't think there's any element I admire...?

When I tell him that, Chiffon makes the tone even stronger, as he says it's outrageous.

"Rayne, I think you're amazing!

"Ooh...?

"First off, Rayne, you destroyed the Bandits' black fangs, didn't you? That's what we were dealing with at the time... but Rayne destroyed you as soon as you became an adventurer. Then he uncovered the evil deeds of the lord of Horizon, and the devil clan also crusaded him. Then exorcise the demons of Pagos..."

Why, is Chiffon so familiar with me?

Stalker? How rude of me to think.

"Uh... those are facts when it comes to facts, because I didn't do them alone. It's because I had company, and it's no big deal about my powers."

"But, Rayne, you're the leader, aren't you? So, you decided what to do with the party, right?

"I wonder if it will."

"Then I knew you'd be amazing, Rain."

Chiffon has a very warm look and speaks slowly.

"I think it's amazing that you destroyed the Bandits, defeated the Demons, and, of course, that sort of thing. I think it has tremendous power. But, you know, that kind of thing is trivial to me."

"And say?

"I guess the best point is not what you accomplished, but what you thought and acted on"

"What do you think..."

"Rayne, you acted for someone, didn't you? I can move for someone, not for myself... I think that's something I can hardly do. I wasn't looking close, but, Rayne, I can tell you're acting for someone. It conveys so much. That's why I admire you, Rayne."

"Uh... Oh, thank you"

It was pretty lit up because it's something you say that with very straight eyes.

I was just happy.

Sometimes I act bad. It's me...

Still, it seemed like they were saying that you weren't wrong.

I'm so happy to have someone affirm something about me.

I just get the feeling that you can do that and keep up the good work.

"Me too...... thanks. I'm glad you told Chiffon that."

"Yeah, welcome."

"No, no, I'm better..."

"I'm better..."

"Um."

I'm not sure. I just developed into a concession, and Mr. Kayes opened his mouth softly.

Shit.

I totally forgot about Mr. Kaise.

"Dear Chiffon, I know it's a pleasure to meet Mr. Rayne, but if you keep that to yourself... because the brave man may be taking advantage of the general adventurer."

"I'm not going to do anything."

"I know that, but some people in the world don't take it that way"

"Ha... it's a hassle"

I don't know my usual chiffon, so I can't say anything...

Chiffon seemed relaxed when he was talking to Mr. Kaise.

Are you forgiving or trusting your mind?

For Chiffon, Mr. Kaze may be a good understander.

I could see such a relationship.

"And will you sign Mr. Rain later? There's something else we need to talk about right now, isn't there?

"Yeah, right. I'm sorry. I'm so happy to see you alive, Rayne."

Looks like we have something else to discuss from Mr. Kaise's dialogue.

Well, so is that.

It's not normally possible that someone who would be a brave man would just come looking for an autograph.

Chiffon coughs to re-compartmentalize and gets back to business.

"Sign later, please."

...... not yet.

"Dear Chiffon..."

"Wow, because I know. It's a little joke."

It sounded serious, but I kept the scratches out.

"Uh... Actually, Rayne, I need to ask you something. Please."

"Ask me?

It was a strange story.

I don't know what Chiffon is capable of...

If you're a former A-rank adventurer and you're a current brave man, it would be quite something.

Yet deliberately make requests to other adventurers.

You need manpower...

Or are you facing more problems than you can solve on your own?

If you can, I want you to be the former... fulfill?

"Please keep the story to yourself. Of course, you can decide after the conversation whether you want to ask for it or not, but I don't want anyone to leak it."

"Okay. I promise."

"Yeah, thanks. So I'm asking you... first, should I tell you what my purpose is right now? I am now moving to gather legendary gear for my primary purpose."

"Maybe Krios has gear?

"Yeah, don't think so"

"Is that it? Then why are you here?

"You just said that, didn't you? It's an anomaly that I get stampedes, so I couldn't let it go. The king stopped me, but I ignored him. Ha... you might get mad later"

I haven't known him for a while yet...

Chiffon seemed like a very good person.

It's hard to rush to Krios when he says he's stopped by the king.

And then when we talk like this, we settle down somewhat.

I guess the atmosphere she has is making it so.

It's a strange story to compare to Arios...

Chiffon felt like he could be a very good brave man.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I missed the conversation again."

"Fine. So, the request has something to do with the equipment?

"Yeah, that's right. What I have now is a shield of truth and a ring of heaven that I have taken over from the former brave. There's one more piece of gear left...... Comet Sword"

"Comet Sword..."

When I was traveling with Arios, I heard something about it.

It is a sword that is said to have been forged by some of the most powerful species, using shards of stars flowing through the sky as material.

That blade cuts off everything, and also says that it won't spill one blade after using it a thousand times.

Decades since the last war with the Demons.

During the post-war commotion, I hear the comet sword was lost somewhere, but did Chiffon find it?

"So this is the comet's sword"

"Hmm?"

Chiffon put his sword gently on the table.

"You've already found it?

"Yeah."

I was given a light answer.

I was just wondering if you wanted me to help you find it, or if you wanted me to help you because I found a place but it's a pain in the ass.

"I just have a little problem... will you unplug it?

"Me, I'm not a brave man, do I get out?

"Rain, you must be bleeding the same way, right? There's no problem pulling it out."

"Oh well."

It makes a hell of a mess, and it embarrasses me.

Look at me like that, Chiffon laughs when he crinkles with pleasure.

"Then..."

Pull out the sword as they say... can't you?

No, it's not like I can't pull it out. It's moving faintly.

However, this...

"... that's terrible, this is"

When I managed to pull out the sword, the whole body was rusty, with blade spills and worn out.

Seems very unlikely to be legendary gear.

"I don't know what happened, but it was like that when I found it"

"What are you gonna do with this?

"Of course I'll fix it. But for that, we're not strong enough... please. Rayne, can you help me out here?

A request that came in from a new brave man.

It was a legendary sword repair.
