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

"Tell me Mr. Alpha wants to talk to you. What, at first, can I ask you a lot of questions from me?

"Yes, I don't mind. Because one of my purposes is to convince Mr. Rain."

"That'll help."

Maybe it's early, but it doesn't look like a bad person.

He has a casual personality, and he can talk very easily.

Well... she's the one who created this situation, not a good opponent to forgive.

"Well, I ask you straight... why are you doing this?

"That's really straightforward. I don't hate people like that."

Mr. Alpha laughs gently.

When you can show that attitude, it's very hard to do.

The opponents I've been hostile to have been almost hit with hostility.

My neighbor, Iris, too, has bumped into hostility when he confronted me.

But Mr. Alpha doesn't have that.

He looks no different than a normal person everywhere...... honestly, he breaks the pace.

"The world is full of irrational things, don't you think? Sickness, accident, crime, malice… they strike with their fangs facing each other in unexpected ways. Only a handful of people can resist them. Most people get swallowed up, hurt, and unhappy."

"... well, I don't deny it"

Although there is a bit of exaggeration, what Mr. Alpha is saying is not a mistake either.

"I want to save those who have become unhappy. No, I want to get rid of the misfortune itself. To that end…"

"Did you create this situation?

"Yes, you're right"

"How the hell did you do that?

"I used my abilities as the most powerful species, and I asked Mr. Iris there to cooperate"

I could see Iris slipping away from his face at first sight.

Looks like he's reflecting.

"The specific way…"

"That, I'm sorry, is a secret. So far, I don't know how Rayne and the others are going to move... so we can't add as much uncertainty as we can."

Exactly, isn't it sweet enough to peruse important information?

"Why, do you want to save the unhappy?

"I have someone in trouble right in front of me. Reaching out to the person… that's just it"

"Reaching out..."

I just don't care deeply if I just help or help.

But I can't believe I had a happy dream and let you escape reality...

"Do you think my dreams escape reality,

"Why..."

"Rayne, you're easy on the face."

That's what Illis says with a slightly mean face.

As you can be sure, Mr. Alpha was also nodding in a slightly troubled manner.

Am I going to get that on my face...?

I'm not even going to do it, but I'd better never get my hands on a bet.

"Mr. Rain and Mr. Iris, you know, because we experienced it once, right? My dreams are both dreams and reality. As a certainty, it can exist there."

"But it's a dream, isn't it? It's something I'll wake up one day."

"No, it won't. Now it's still unstable… if the procedure is completely complete, the dream becomes a reality"

I mean...

So you're saying you can rewrite reality the way you think?

That's like a god.

"I just have to ask you to believe me...... no offense to me. Dream on, hurt people...... I'm not thinking about that. There's only one thing I'm thinking about. I just want to make a happy world."

"For that, did you keep my people and the people of Cagne in your dreams?

"I swear to you, it doesn't mean I'm forced to. Anyone who doesn't have a heart scratch has nothing to do with it. Only wounded people respond to my dreams...... and accept dreams themselves. Did you think my dreams were enforceable?

"It's..."

I don't think so.

The dreams Mr. Alpha shows were so full of happiness that he accepted them naturally.

But that's why it's...

"My dream, is it unacceptable?

Mr. Alpha asks quietly as he sees through this stray.

"There's something I'd like to ask you too... why are Mr. Rain and Mr. Iris awake? Why, do you refuse to dream?

"It's decided."

Instead of me, Illis answers with perseverance.

"Dreams are dreams. It's an illusion. I can't help but feel like that. We live now. That's why we have to move on. Dreaming is nothing but senseless and a stupid escape from reality."

"What can't you do to escape reality?

"... what?

"The reality is filled with hard things. Who decided that you had to confront that? Is that what you say running away is evil?

"It's..."

"Mr. Iris is strong, so maybe that's what you can say. But not everyone in the world is like that. Some people are weak. Such a person can be crushed by hard reality. That's why I decided to dream. To save people like that."

……

Iris stopped the words.

I am listening to Mr. Alpha.

She herself, there may be a stray somewhere.

... just like me.

"I woke up..."

The world Mr. Alpha is trying to make may be very sweet.

Everyone can be happy and not hurt.

That's why I remembered being lost.

Maybe Mr. Alpha is right? Oh, my God. I was thinking.

But.

In as many words as Illis said earlier, my feelings were settled in me.

He's alive now.

The words resonated so strongly in my chest that they dispelled my stray.

"Because he's alive."

"Because he's alive? As Mr Iris also said, what does that mean?

"It means the way it is. I'd be happy to be alive, and it can be hard. That's normal, it's alive, that's what I mean."

……

"Yet it's too convenient to just cut the good and get rid of all the bad... Then you can't tell me you're alive. We have to take all the good and the bad and move on. If you don't, you can't grow up."

"... Too bad"

Mr. Alpha, who was listening quietly, spilled a small sigh.

The emotion in those eyes... is giving up.

"I'm not going to deny Mr. Rayne or Mr. Illis' words... but, as it turns out, those are the words of the strong. It's like I'm not thinking about the weak. Don't think everyone can live like you guys. Some people get fatal injuries from one small wound."

"But that's...!

"Apparently, the story is a crack. That's why I won't imitate you to eliminate or attack right now...... at least stay out of my way. If you want to leave Cagne, swear you won't do anything."

"Ma..."

I try to hold him back, but before that, a white mist engulfed Mr. Alpha.

Although the fog disappears soon...

Mr. Alpha doesn't look like him anymore.

"You've escaped."

"... or missed, should I say"

I'm pretty much lost in judgment.

"Master Rain. What will you do now? From Mr. Alpha's mouth, it felt like if we didn't leave, if we didn't get in the way, we could exercise our strength."

I'll stop Mr. Alpha.

There's also a reason my buddies and chiffons are trapped in dreams...

More than that, I can't recognize a world like this.

If you dream, you'll be happy.

Sure, you might be right.

But when the time comes for my dreams to end, what do I do?

Mr. Alpha, who is creating dreams, is not immortal.

One day the dream will end.

And there comes a time when we have to face reality.

If you were dreaming, you would degenerate the other way around, without growing.

And when I wake up... first of all, no doubt, I get crushed by reality.

Like Iris said, it's only a serious escape from reality...

It's just taking away the opportunity to grow, degenerate it the other way around, and make the ruin definitive.

That's what I think.

Which claim is correct?

That's for later people to judge...

I live now, I just believe in what I think is right and push forward.

"Heh, that's Rain. I thought you'd say that."

When I heard my thoughts, Illis smiled very happily.

"I'm about to... First, I want to wake everyone up"

"Right. We don't have enough hands, and without them, we're losing a lot of power."

"Just before that..."

"Before that?

"Can you let me talk to you about Illis? That's the deal."

"... you remembered"

Feeling like a kid with a mischief, Illis sighed.
