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

Chapter 131- Night Chat.

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

She is a mysterious girl.

　She has a demure air about her and is very polite.

　She is a little devilish, but considering her age, that is quite normal for a girl of her age.

　At first glance, she looks like a young lady.

　A daughter of an aristocratic family, if you ask me.

　But that's not all. ......

　I feel something different about her.

　It's like a vicious beast putting on human skin, that kind of discomfort.

　The aura that overflows from her makes me think that she is not an ordinary person.　It makes you think, 

"Oh, what's wrong?"(Iris)

"Uh.....Let's see... ......"(Rain)

　I was so caught up in the girl's strange sensation that I couldn't help but stare at her.

　I'm curious about the girl's identity, but ......

　The first time you meet someone, it's not a good idea to stare at them so intensively.

"I'm sorry,It's nothing."(Rain)

'If it's not my ego speaking......, you're interested in me, aren't you?"(Iris)

"That's ......"(Rain)

'If you look at me with that kind of passion, I might be inclined to do something risky."(Iris)

'...... stop teasing me.'(Rain)

　For a moment, I got a chilling sensation.

　Like a frog being stared at by a snake,......

　Such fear, like being confronted by an absolute strong individual.

　Fear of this girl?

　I don't think so,...... but there are many opponents in the world to whom common sense does not apply.

　For example, everyone at our party.

　They don't seem like they mean any harm. ......

　But maybe I should be careful.

　Right now, I'd rather rely on my intuition than common sense.

"What's wrong?"(Iris)

'...... no, it's nothing."(Rain)

'Oh, I see.fufufu."(Iris)

By the way, where's your home? It's late, and I don't want to see you run into those guys again, so I'll give you a lift and send you home."(Rain)

"I'm so glad to hear that. I feel so much safer with you escorting me."(Iris)

'I don't know if it's good for you to be so trusting of someone you just met....."(Rain)

"Well ...... there's no problem. I don't trust you."(Iris)

　What does that mean ......?

　If you don't trust me, why are you being so open with me?

　After all, is there something going on?

　It makes me more wary of  the girl.

　If it's true, maybe I should break up with her here.

　But what if I'm wrong about everything?

　What if the girl is just an ordinary girl who can be found anywhere, and there is nothing behind the scenes?

　Considering this possibility, I couldn't just say good-bye.

'Well then, since you're here, I'll ask you to do it for me."(Iris)

"The Pleasure is mine."(Rain)

　Walking alongside Iris in the city at night.

　It was a quiet night.

　The quietness of the night was such that it seemed as if Iris and I were the only two people in the world.

　It was not a pleasant ......

　It was an eerie silence.

"What do you do, Rain-sama?"(Iris)

"I'm an adventurer."(Rain)

"Oh, really? I'm sorry, I didn't see you that way."(Iris)

"You make it very clear."(Rain)

　I couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you active in this city?"(Iris)

"No. Our base is in a city in the central continent. I'm here for a small commission, and I'm stopping by for ...... supplies on the way."(Rain)

"I see."(Iris)

"Is Iris from this town?"(Rain)

"No. I'm traveling, too."(Iris)

"Is that so?"(Rain)

"Yes. I'm just looking for something, and I'm going around ...... from city to city."(Iris)

"Are you alone, by any chance?"(Rain)

"Yes, I am."(Iris)

"Isn't that ...... dangerous?"(Rain)

　There are many dangers outside the city, such as demons and bandits.

　Judging by appearances, Iris doesn't look like she's capable of traveling alone. ......

"I am a very powerful, despite what I look like."(Iris)

"Is that so?"(Rain)

"Yes. Very strong, you know?"(Iris)

　Chuckling, Iris laughs.

　Somehow I knew it was so ......

　I thought it must be true when I saw that fearless smile.

　They say that appearances are often deceiving. ......

　Iris must be strong enough to travel alone.

'Oh, I see,...... my bad. I'm sorry I said something insulting."(Rain)

"No, I don't mind that."(Iris)

"I just have to say on top of that,......, if you can afford it, you should hire an adventurer or something."(Rain)

"You still don't believe me?"(Iris)

"No, that's not what I mean. I'm not saying that you are weak, but this is my rule of thumb. I think it's good to have someone to help you when you need it, and it's always good to have a "friend" to share the hardships with,......."(Rain)

　Iris rolled her eyes.

　Simply, she seems surprised.

　After a moment, she chuckles happily.

"Fufu..... I've never heard anyone say that to me before."(Iris)

"Is that so?"(Rain)

"Because once people get to know me, they won't think that way."(Iris)

"I don't know Iris that well either,......, so I guess that's partly why I said what I did."(Rain)

"Maybe but I think Rain would say the same thing even if he knew about me."(Iris)

"Would I?"(Rain)

"Yes. Well, this is just my hunch."(Iris)

　

　Iris stopped walking and leaned in closer to me.

Her beautiful face just few inches away from mine.

"......"(Iris)

"Yes, Iris?"(Rain(

"You are a ...... wonder, Rain-san. Even though you are human,...... you don't smell bad. It's a wonder even I have a hunch that I'm willing to let you in and make you my ally."(Iris)

"Well,......? Is that a compliment?"(Rain)

"It's a compliment of the highest order."(Iris)

　Saying this Iris  smiles.

　It's an innocent smile.

　But ...... is it just my imagination?

　What is it about the innocence that seems to hide something brutal, something a child might show from time to time?

"Oh?"(Iris)

　Iris suddenly looked in a direction.

　That's the road we just walked down.

"......"(Iris)

"Iris? What's wrong?"(Rain)

"......, I think we're done with our little stroll. Thank you."(Iris)

"You live near here?"(Rain)

"Yes. So this is where we say goodbye."(Iris)

"I see. Okay."(Rain)

　I knew intuitively that I was being lied to.

　That was my gut feeling, but I don't think it's quite right to bite the bullet here.

　It would be more correct to say that she don't want to be with me, or that she don't want me to follow her .......

　I'm curious about that ......

　But I don't want to expose what you are trying to hide, without any evidence to support it.

"Okay, here we go."(Rain)

"Thank you very much. I hope we can meet again."(Iris)

"I'm sure we will. Let's take a leisurely stroll around town then."(Rain)

"Yes, I promise."(Iris)

　Iris waved her hand ......

　

I left the place as if to be seen off by it.

----------

Rough breaths of men were spilling out into the alleyway at night.

　A woman is being subdued by these men.

　Her clothes were in disarray, and she was trying desperately to resist with tears in her eyes.

　But the men held her body tightly and covered her mouth, so there was nothing she could do,.......

'Hey, hurry up!"(Mob A)

"I know, I know. I'm going to save the first try for  you, so don't be in a hurry."(Mob B)

"You messed up earlier, so ...... hehe, let me have some fun, will you?"(Mob C)

　The men smiled a lowly smile and reached down to pull down the girl's trousers ......

　At that moment, something ran through the place.

　With a whoosh, there was a gust of wind......

　Then, after a pause, something fell.

　The man who was about to lean on the woman looked at the fallen thing.

　His arm had fallen off.

"......Wh?"(Mob C)

　The man spilled out his voice like a dazed ......

　Then he finally realized that his arm was gone.

'Nah! Ah, ah, ah, ah!!!?"(Mob C)

　Blood spurted out of the man's arm with great force.

　The man rolled on the spot and a puddle of blood quickly formed.

"Hi-hi!"(Woman)

　While the men's restraints were loosened, the woman escaped at once.

　As if to replace it, a new figure appears.

"Fufu."(Iris)

"You're that ...... from earlier!'(Mob A)

　Iris, who appeared in front of the men, had a faint smile on her face.

　However, her expression is cold.

　The eyes that look at the men are inorganic and ...... emotionless.

'I heard some voices, so I came to check on them,...... and it was you guys, after all. It's a very easy scheme to ...... take out your sexual desires on others because you couldn't get rid of them in yourself."(Iris)

"This girl......"(Mob B)

"I guess garbage is garbage, after all. It's also a nuisance when insects bother you, so you have to make sure you clean it up properly. Well, ...... that's why it's time to clean up."(Iris)

　Iris giggled and ......  wings sprouted from her back.

TL Note- Is Iris good or bad?
