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

The wolf gets ahead with a tattered, light-hearted foothold.

When some distance leaves, it stops pitifully and looks back at this one.

As this one approaches, resume walking again.

I stopped where I loosened up and glanced over here.

"On!"

Ring one.

Come quickly, I think you're saying.

He doesn't speak the language, but he seems like a very smart kid.

He wants to take us somewhere, and he's been doing this since just now.

I can't be sure where I'm going...

Probably our original destination, the plains of the Northeast.

I can see it moving that way in directions.

The destination is the same.

And I don't have any other clues.

So I decided to follow this kid.

If it's a trap, that's fine.

Any difficulty, we all just beat it together.

It's just... I don't feel like a trap.

I don't know if this kid is really the most powerful species.

But I can't feel anything malicious at all, rather, I feel favorable.

Probably, you'll be fine.

That's what I'm telling you. That's what I'm telling you. That's what I'm telling you.

"... Hey, Rain"

"Yeah?"

As he followed after the wolf, Canad ran with Totete and lined up next to him.

I look here and there, and I immediately lose my gaze.

He's in a state of flux and restlessness.

What's the matter with you?

"Canade, what's wrong?

"Er... right. I don't know if Iris is going to talk about this in a tough time... but at least he wants to make sure, or if he doesn't, he won't be able to calm down..."

"Er...?

Canade's story gets no guidelines.

Something seems so hard to say...

"There's something you want to tell me, isn't there?

"... yeah"

"Then I'll ask. Ask properly."

"... okay?

"Of course. Look, I can't, because there seems to be a blunt spot... if anything, it would be more helpful for you to say it clarity. At a time like this... No, it's a time like this, so I think we should talk about it so it won't be a problem later"

"Oh well... well, tell me, right?

Canade seemed nervous.

Plus, my cheeks are stained with cherry blossoms.

My eyes, too, felt like I was getting a fever at some point.

"Before I went out, they explained the general situation... but Rain, I don't know... what I was dreaming about... you know, right?

"Oh, then... ah"

The dream Canade and the others had was to marry me.

I mean, that's how they feel, so...

After being pointed out to me by Illis about it, I finally realized, albeit consciously.

I thought once we solved the case, we'd have to talk.

It's just that I was totally out of my mind because of what happened to Illis after that.

"Nyah... I knew you knew how to react"

"Uh, well, I don't know..."

After getting lost, I snorted.

I can't help deceiving you, and, exactly, I don't want to imitate you running away here.

This is the time... no, this is the time, I need to face her feelings.

If I miss now, I don't know when I'll be able to talk next.

"Oh, you know... if you dreamed of me, I think you already know."

Sorry.

I didn't know until Illis pointed me out.

"I think that, uh, Rayne thing... su, su... su, su..."

Canade turned bright red to his ears,

"... I like it"

A voice so small that it seemed to disappear, I snapped pompously.

I'm going to miss hearing about it if you do, but, exactly, you shouldn't do that this time.

I heard it well.

I carved Canade's words firmly into my heart.

"Ahhh..."

Canade looked so embarrassed that she turned away from me.

I can't look directly at this one right now.

I'm restless with Sowa...

The cat's ears are pounding and his tail is moving with all sorts of slack.

"Eh, I..."

Accept Canade's feelings?

Or say no?

Either way, we need to put it into proper language.

I have to say something.

I think so, but unfortunately I can't spin the word.

It's white in my head.

It's an excuse, but I just see the Canades as my people, and I don't see them that way...

So I can't put my thoughts together.

I have no idea what kind of reply to return.

Canade should be very brave of you right now...

What a pity for me.

I can see very well that Illis was frightened.

"Oh, yeah, it's okay!

"Huh?"

"Because I don't want Rayne to respond right now or anything like that"

I don't feel compelled to say that to Canade.

I don't even care about this one...

It seemed like a sincere line.

"I don't know, because I think it's an accidental confession... the truth is, I didn't mean to confess this abruptly, did I? Rayne is blunt, so I was going to take more time and do it slowly."

"Uh... sorry"

"Ah!? I'm not blaming you! I just don't want you to worry."

Canade looked directly at this one, even as he blushed.

And laugh softly.

"Because this is the time... I don't really think about getting a response or anything like that. I think that's not just me, but Tania, Sola, and Luna. The most important thing I need to think about right now is Ilis. So it's okay."

"It's..."

"And even after I was able to help Iris, I don't need to be forced to respond. Probably because if it came from Rain, I'd be talking about water in my sleeping ear... and I'd rather you think about it carefully than force me to respond in that situation. We're glad to hear that."

"Is Canade... is that all right?

"Yeah."

Without getting lost, Canade answered instantly.

"Now, all you have to do is let me know how you feel. I don't want anything more."

Canade kicked the pebble on the side of the road.

Pebbles roll corny.

"But... if I keep you waiting too long, you'll be stubborn, right?

"... oh, okay"

About me and Canade.

About Tania, Sola and Luna.

We need to figure out what we want to do with our future relationship and what we should do with it.
