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

Chapter 338: To make your dreams come true

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

She is a member of a certain Oni tribe.

Even among them, she is a rare kind, with very few of her kind.

Because of that, she often faces hardships.

She frequently experiences suffering.

Her life has been nothing but difficulties.

It is not an exaggeration to say so.

However, despite that, she never strayed from the path of humanity.

No matter how many hardships she faced or how much she suffered, she always tried to remain upright.

Why was she able to do such a thing?

Because she belongs to a special tribe, she has a long lifespan.

Even without doing anything, she lives several times longer than humans.

With proper health management, she can live even longer.

Having spent such a long time, she has interacted with many humans.

Since the Oni tribe basically coexists with humans...

She has had various relationships with humans and shared the same time with them.

As a result...

She learned that humans suffer more and endure more hardships.

Humans are fragile creatures.

Their physical abilities and magical power are less than half of the Oni tribe's.

They are also mentally unstable and often hurt each other.

And even at the longest, their lifespan is about 100 years.

From the perspective of the Oni tribe, humans seem like such incomplete beings...

Physically and mentally immature, and weak.

They get hurt easily, cannot recover, and just collapse.

She has seen many such humans.

Seeing those humans made her heart ache.

To some extent, she had been hurt in the same way.

So, she felt she understood their feelings.

Because of that, she eventually started to have one thought.

She wanted to save humans.

――――――――――

"...Phew."

In one of the plazas of Kagune, Iris was sitting on a bench.

Considering the orders given by Reez, she couldn't afford to stand out.

She avoided giving off a sharp presence and pretended to be an ordinary citizen.

Of course, her wings were retracted.

Despite this, Iris, being an exceptionally beautiful girl, still drew the attention of passing men.

Noticing this, Iris pretended not to see their gazes and ignored them.

After all, she couldn't be bothered with such things.

She had more important matters to think about.

"Killing the new hero... Sigh, what a troublesome task."

If the new hero was as strong as Arios, there would be no problem.

She was overwhelmingly stronger.

Iris thought this way.

It wasn't arrogance, but a judgment based on objective facts.

Indeed, Iris possessed that much power.

However, the issue wasn't strength.

Iris no longer had the will to kill humans.

Her intense desire for revenge had faded, leaving only confusion.

"More than anything, I can't believe that Lord Rain is accompanying them..."

Iris had been saved by Reez...

But she considered Rain to be her true benefactor.

Rain had risked his life to save her.

He had tried to cleanse her tainted soul.

She had never forgotten that for a moment.

She couldn't trample on that debt.

Doing so would make her worse than a monster.

"Perhaps, it's time to make a move?"

There was no longer an option to cooperate with Reez.

If that's the case, she would have to leave...

Leave, and then what?

She wanted to go to Rain, but she couldn't bring herself to do something so shameless.

And yet, she had nowhere else to go.

"...Maybe I should just go on a journey."

She thought this suddenly.

A purposeless journey, just wandering around.

It might not be so bad.

"Phew... What am I living for?"

With her purpose of revenge gone... Iris was now lost, unsure of the path she should take.

"...Excuse me."

"Yes?"

Suddenly, Iris was spoken to.

She looked to the side and slightly widened her eyes.

There was a female Oni.

She had a single horn growing from her forehead and a gentle-looking face.

"Sorry to bother you. I have something to ask..."

"What is it? Directions?"

"No. Um... Are you by any chance a member of the strongest species?"

"...Why do you think so?"

Iris's eyes narrowed warily.

Although she had decided not to cause unnecessary trouble...

If trouble came to her, she would naturally fend it off.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I have no intention of harming you... In fact, I was hoping you could help me."

"Help... with what?"

"Yes."

The female Oni smiled warmly.

"I would like you to assist with my plan... my plan to create an ideal utopia."

Her smile was gentle...

It was as gentle as that of a saint.

TL Note- Is the new character, A Saint or A Monster?
