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

Chapter 18-: Second Contract

( TL By GUST )

I returned to the city and reported the completion of my request.

　

　However, he had not handed Tania over.

　

　Even though she had offered to fight a duel at random, it was not with malicious intent, nor was it fatal.

　

　If we handed her over to the guild, she would certainly be handed over to the government and caught.

　

　I felt sorry for her, so I gave them a report with the false information that I had gotten rid of the culprit.

　

　The guild wasn't stupid, so they wouldn't just believe our story.

　

　Did the culprit really disappear?

　

　They are going to send an investigation team to find out.

　

　If the results of the investigation show that the culprit has really disappeared, the request will be completed.

　

　Until then, the case is on hold and no reward will be given.

　

　Well, I have no complaints because it's the natural course of action.

"I'm sorry. It's not that I'm doubting you, Rain, but the problem is still a problem, and I can't simply admit it. ......"

　

　Natalie looked apologetic.

"No, it's fine. I think it's only natural to investigate. How long will the investigation take?"

"Well, ...... the perpetrator has been out and about every day, so I'd say ......two or three days, give or take.　　I think it will be done rather quickly. You're still going to be in town, aren't you, Rain?

"I don't know if I'm planning on going anywhere.

"If so, I'm sorry to bother you, but please come back to the guild in three days. I'm sure the investigation will be over by then and we can give you your reward.

"Alright. Okay, see you in three days."

　

　I was about to leave the guild.

"Oh, by the way..."

　

　Natalie said as if she remembered.

"Who is that girl over there?"

　

　...... After all, how can you not be curious if there is one more girl Tania?

"I met her in the middle of a ...... request. She helped me with this request. ......"

"Is that so? Are you an adventurer?

"No, I'm not like that. Surprise, surprise, I'm the ruler of the skies, Dramgu!

"Well, we'll see you later.

"See you later."

"Mwah! Mwah!"

　

we dragged the outspoken Tania out of the guild.

"What are you trying to do?

　

　When we got some distance away from the guild, we let Tania go.

　

　Tania was furious.

I'm sorry for covering your mouth," he said. But what were you thinking, trying to reveal yourself in a place like that?"

"...... was just a spur of the moment thing."

"Tanya doesn't think about anything.

"I don't need to hear it from a cat spirit.

"What the hell?

"What?

　

　The two of them sparked off each other.

"Please don't fight here.

"Because of this guy..."

　

　They're in perfect balance.

　

　They're surprisingly close, aren't they?

"Let's have some dinner. I've been through a lot and I'm starving.

"Food! Nya!"

"Of course it's on me, right?

　

　When they heard the word "dinner", their eyes sparkled.

　

　isn't it a little excessive. 

　

　It's not like they make enough money, so they need to cut back a bit.

　

　When the plates were piled up like a mountain, their appetites finally subsided.

"I'm full, I'm satisfied.

"Not bad. Human food is not bad either.

"I'd like to talk to you when you've calmed down.......

"No problem. Ask me anything. Or I'll tell you anything. Thanks for the food."

　

　Tania was in a good mood, probably because her stomach was satisfied.

"So, about the future, ...... Tania won't do that again, will she?

"Well, ...... what did I do?"

"Oh, come on.

"I'm kidding. I won't."

　

　Tania giggled.

　

　She looks more like a devil than a dragon.

"I'm not going to challenge anyone to a duel on that bridge, since you've already beaten me to a pulp....... It wasn't much training, to begin with.

"That's very nice of you to say.

"What were you going to do if I didn't listen to you?

"Then we'd have to fight again.

"How do you know you can beat me?

"No, I don't. I believe that my victory over Tania was the result of a combination of factors and a lot of luck. I don't know if I can beat her next time. But ...... now that we know each other like this, we can't just let it go. If we keep doing the same thing over and over again, Tania's true identity may eventually be exposed. A full-fledged strike force might be formed. I don't want that to happen."

"Hmmm, ......, you're a softy, aren't you?

"That's the good thing about you, Rain.

"I'm not going to deny it. I like that about you.

"Thank you.

"...... I'm not trying to make you my girlfriend or anything!　　It's just that I like your personality, that's all.

"I know,  I know, I'm not that smug.

"Well, that's a little annoying when you're so easily convinced.

　

　What do you want me to do?

"What are you going to do now, Tania?　　You're going to continue your training, aren't you?

　

　While drinking tea after dinner, Kanade asks.

　

　I'm not sure if it's because she is  a cat spirit or because she don't like hot tea, but she keep blowing on it.

"I'm going to follow you guys to ......!

　

　I almost blew out the tea I was drinking at the sudden turn of events.

"Why are you talking about ......?

"I'm interested I'm sure I'll never be bored with you guys. ...... It's going to be a lot of fun!

"What about  your training, ......?

"I think that being with you guys is the best way to train. What's more, I like ...... Rain, right?　I really like you."

"Hmmm!"

　

　Tania got up from her seat, put her hands around my neck and hugged me.

　

　I'm not sure why Kanade saw this, but her tail twitched.

"I've never seen anyone like Rain before. Not only did he beat me, but he helped me,...... and he's been good to me ever since,...... and I can't stop thinking about him. Hey, hey, can I come with you?"

"Hey!　　Get away from Rain. Rain is my master."

"Don't be stingy."

"No, it's not!　　Hush!

"You're jealous, aren't you?

"Huh?　　No, it's, uh, .......

"Hmmm. You don't want to be too pushy, do you?

"Kirawa ......?　　I'm not sure if he's going to like me or not.

　

　

　

　It seems that she is having a bad imagination and has a desperate look on her face.

　

　At a time like this, I'm ......

　

　I'm glad to see Kanade's reaction.

　

　The series of reactions shows that she doesn't want to leave me.

"I'm not going to hate you.

"Really ......?"

"Of course not.Kanade is one of my best friends.

"Rain, you're so sweet."

"Hey, hey!　　Don't ignore me.

"Then don't be as mean as you were just now. As I said, Kanade is an important friend.

"Ugh. ...... Well, I'm ...... sorry about that.

"Hmm. Tania's apology was well received.

"Huh."

　

　I reflexively patted Tania's head as I would Kanade's.

　

　I'm not sure if she's angry?

　

　

　

　Rather, her cheeks were dyed, and she looked somewhat happy.

"You can pet her more, if you want.　　It's not that I want you to pet me, you know.　　It's a sign of reconciliation.

"Is that so?　　Then ...... nudge, nudge, nudge.

"Huh. ......"

　

　Tania's eyes welled up.

"It must be a skill of beast tamer."

　

　What does the beast tamer have to do with it?

　

　And no, I'm not a top-notch beast tamer. ......

"Well, ...... Tania's about to ...... Kanade."

"Umm ...... well, I'm good, okay?　　I know she was mean to me, but I don't hate Tania.

"I don't see any reason to disagree with you. It's just a hunch, but I think you and Tania would get along well."

　

　I had the same feeling I had when I met Kanade, that Tania might be able to become a true friend.

　

　I had such a premonition.

"It's decided!"

　

　Tania smiled at us as we talked.

"I'm sure we'll have a great time.

"...... Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why are we talking about this?

"What? I'm not sure what to make of this.　　Are you trying to exclude me from the group?

"Wait, wait. I'm not sure what to say. I don't mean to not do that, but I'm not sure if I can make a good contract with Tania, a dragoness. ......

"I'm sure Rain can.

　I'm not confident about that.

　

　

"We'll just have to try. If you fail, that's fine with me but I don't expect you to fail at all.

"Rain will be fine."

Kanade presses the drum.

　Contract with the dragon tribe ... Hmm.

　To be honest, I'm not confident ...

　It's been said so far, so why don't you just try it?

"Okay, then Tania sits in that chair."

"OK ♪"

　Tania sits in a chair and faces me.

　I bit my finger and drew a magic circle with the flowing blood.

　Hold your palm over Tania.

"... My name is Rain Shroud. I will make a new contract and make a connection here. With my vows in my heart, with hope in my heart, with my strength. Answer. What is your name?"

"... Tania ..."

　The magic circle became a particle of light and was sucked into Tania's body.

"Is this the end?"

"Oh, oh ... the contract is complete."

　I was able to sign a contract not only with the cat spirits but also with the dragons ...

　I may have run out of luck for a lifetime.

"Hmm ... it feels like it's being used. It's kind of weird because it's connected to Rain anytime, anywhere. But it's not bad."

　Tania looks at me and smiles.

"Thank you please take care of me from now on, my husband ♪"
