The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet

Chapter 292: Oni girl

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

There exists a species known as the 'Oni Tribe.'

As a characteristic, they all have horns growing on their heads.

The number of horns is not particularly fixed; some have one, while others have ten.

Apart from that, they are no different from ordinary humans.

They age similarly and undergo similar physical changes.

The defining characteristics of the Oni Tribe... are not well-defined.

For example, the Cat Spirit Tribe excels in physical abilities.

The Dragon Tribe maintains balance.

The God Tribe possesses special abilities.

...and so on; each tribe has its own distinct characteristics.

However, the Oni Tribe lacks such defined traits.

Some excel in strength, while others excel in magical abilities.

There are also those who possess unique abilities not found elsewhere.

It is certain that they are stronger than humans...

But in which aspect they excel varies from individual to individual.

The reason lies in the existence of various sub-species within the Oni Tribe.

The simplest is the 'Oni,' named exactly as such.

Characterized by their horns, they possess formidable strength surpassing even the Cat Spirit Tribe.

In rare cases, there are Oni Tribe members known as 'Reiki.'

It is said that they can summon spirits from the spirit world.

There are also other peculiar sub-species such as Rakshasa, Vampires, and Yaksha.

Among the strongest species, they have the most diverse range.

Similar to the Dragon Tribe with Red Dragons, Blue Dragons, Yellow Dragons... it feels like there are numerous varieties.

Due to their abundance, they are collectively categorized as 'Oni Tribe.'

The relationship between humans and the Oni Tribe is good.

In fact, it's not an exaggeration to say that they have the best relationship among the strongest species.

After all, the majority of the Oni Tribe coexist with humans.

The Oni Tribe mainly resides in the Eastern Continent.

They live alongside humans in cities and villages.

They are said to mostly have earnest and honest personalities.

That's why humans accept and live with the Oni Tribe.

Encountering a girl from the Oni Tribe in a place like this... it's surprising.

Once the Oni Tribe finds a settlement, they don't move much from there.

So, the majority of the Oni Tribe are in the Eastern Continent...

Coming to this Central Continent is very rare.

"You... are from the Oni Tribe, right?"

"Mm."

The girl nodded.

I didn't need confirmation, but she was indeed from the Oni Tribe.

I felt a bit excited.

Not in a weird way.

As a Beast Tamer, I tend to get excited when I encounter rare species.

"Rain, Rain."

I heard Kanade's voice from beyond the changing room door.

"I brought this as Tina asked... but...?"

The door opened, and Kanade appeared holding clothes.

Her eyes widened.

"...Ah."

Kanade's gaze went back and forth between me and the girl.

A naked girl after undressing.

And I'm a guy.

Kanade looked stunned, then started trembling...

Finally, her face turned red as she exclaimed,

"W-What are you two doing?! Rather I often encounter situations of Rain like this!" 

I hurriedly left the changing room.

――――――――――

...I waited in the living room for about thirty minutes.

"Meow... sorry to keep you waiting."

"Mm."

Kanade and the Oni girl appeared.

Of course, the Oni girl was wearing clothes.

The clothes seemed to belong to Kanade.

I've seen Kanade wear them several times before.

The size fit perfectly except for the chest area...

It seemed a bit loose around the chest.

Seems like the girl had warmed up in the bath, her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Her skin, as white and beautiful as porcelain, clearly showed the warmth.

Her hair was also white.

Silky smooth like silk thread, tied with a ribbon.

She was like a beautiful doll.

"I heard the situation from this girl... Rain, you really need to be more careful! Seeing her naked...!"

"It's embarrassing..."

"Even I've never been seen naked by Rain!"

Well, there's really no need for me to see...?

I wish she wouldn't speak as if it's natural to for me see her naked.

"Have you warmed up?"

"Mm... thank you."

The girl bowed her head slightly.

Is she not one to express emotions openly?

Her expression hardly changes.

But her gratitude came across clearly.

She's probably not a bad kid.

"You can relax here until the rain stops."

"...Is it okay? Won't it be bothersome?"

"Not at all. Right, Kanade?"

"Yeah, guests are always welcome!"

Come to think of it, this might be the first time for a guest.

Although we bought the house, we've been going here and there...

So, we rarely have opportunities to welcome someone.

"Thank you."

The girl bowed her head again.

"I'm Rifa. Oni Tribe. 15 years old. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Rain Shroud, and this is..."

"I'm Kanade. As you can see, I'm from the Cat Spirit Tribe. Nice to meet you."

"Mm, nice to meet you."

"I have other comrades, but well, I'll introduce them if there's a chance."

"Let me introduce our place too."

Tina appeared through the wall.

"Surprised?"

Rifa said in a deadpan tone.

I'm not sure if she's really surprised.

"I'm Tina Holy, the ghost. Nice to meet you."

After the greeting, she disappeared through the wall again, then came back...

She prepared tea and snacks to entertain Rifa.

For that, she entrusted Kanade with clothes and made various preparations.

"Wow."

Rifa's eyes sparkled as she looked at the snacks and tea on the table.

This part of her is a bit childish.

"Can I eat?"

"Please."

"I don't have any money."

"We're not taking any."

"...Thank you."

After bowing her head, she delicately picked up the snacks and tea.

She's a well-mannered child.

"Delicious."

"Thanks. The snacks are homemade by us."

"Tina is good at making sweets."

"Wow, amazing."

She praised in the same deadpan tone.

She's not just saying it casually...

It's just her personality.

You can tell from her eyes that she's genuinely impressed and happy.

Now, it's about the pace of eating snacks.

It quickly became half gone.

She must really like them.

"Once the rain stops, I'll guide you around the town.  we'll visit some inns and also drop by the adventurer's guild."

"Thanks, that helps."

"Meow? By the way, why is Rifa in this town?"

"I'm looking for someone."

"Oh, really?"

"I noticed her walking without an umbrella in this rain... so I brought her here."

"Was that it? I thought Rain was unconsciously luring girls again."

"I wouldn't do such a thing."

"Meow... I don't believe it."

For some reason, Kanade puffed her cheeks.

"By the way, who are you looking for?"

It might be someone I know, so I asked.

"A hero."

"A hero...?"

"The one to defeat the demons, repel the devils, and expose the misdeeds of the so-called hero... I'm looking for the hero of Horizon."

... It was me.

TL Note- New girl Rifa enters the story.
