The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet
"Hey there—it's me."
In front of a house standing on a hill,
Rifa greets in a laid-back tone and waves her hand.
"……"
Silence.
"Ah, is that it already?"
She glances to the side for a moment,
then looks forward again and opens her mouth.
"‘The Beast Tamer Who Was Exiled from the Hero’s Party Meets a Cat-Eared Girl of the Strongest Race’ — Volume 7 goes on sale tomorrow, November 2nd. Please check it out."
After saying that bit of promotion, Rifa closes her lips.
And just stays there, waiting silently for several dozen seconds.
"That’s no good!"
"Why are you ending it with just that!?"
Looking extremely impatient, Luna and Sora rush out.
Luna sharply points a megaphone she’s holding at Rifa,
then speaks sternly.
"This is promotion, you know? A book containing our achievements is being released, you know? In that case, shouldn’t you promote it more flashily, energetically, and coolly!?"
"I tried my best, though?"
"You didn’t try at all!"
"Ehh—"
Rifa complains, but her expression doesn’t change.
She seems pretty indifferent about it.
Enraged by that attitude are the spirit sisters.
The older sister, Sora, also holding a megaphone, scolds Rifa.
"That won’t do, Rifa. This is very important. Like Luna said, you need to try a bit harder."
"Hmm, really?"
"Yes."
"But what should I do?"
After a brief pause, Rifa continues:
"To begin with, I don’t think I’m suited for this kind of thing."
"You mustn’t give up. If you keep trying without giving up, someday it will bloom into success."
"…I wish my sister would give up on cooking."
"Did you say something?"
"Nothing at all!"
Sora whistles to cover it up, then thinks for a moment.
"I know. To make it flashier… hmm, I’ve got a good idea!"
"What kind?"
"My sister will demonstrate it."
"Eh? Me, Sora?"
"Good evening, everyone♪ Volume 7 is coming out soon, so make sure to buy it, okay? It’s a promise with Sora☆ If you don’t buy it, I’ll have to punish you!"
"Ahahahahaha—! Buhaha—heehee!!"
Sora strikes a cute pose and delivers the lines exactly as Luna instructed.
However, upon seeing it, Luna bursts into uncontrollable laughter.
"Hahahaha—! I-I didn’t think you’d actually do it! This is bad, this is too funny! My stomach hurts—I’m laughing so hard it’s gonna twist apart!"
"Ixion Blast."
"Gyaaaaaaaah!!!?"
Luna gets blown away by Sora’s furious high-tier magic.
Whether it was a direct hit,
or whether she failed to brace herself—
None of that really matters.
It’s all Luna’s fault.
A younger sister who makes fun of her older sister deserves punishment.
"Now then…"
"!?"
Seeing Sora casually unleash high-tier magic without hesitation,
Rifa trembles.
Before she knows it, she’s standing stiffly at attention and even ends up saluting.
"Rifa."
"Yeah."
"Let’s do our best to promote it together, okay?"
"Um… what about Luna?"
"We don’t need that useless little sister."
"Understood."
For the sake of self-preservation, Rifa promptly abandons Luna.
But it can’t be helped.
That’s how terrifying Sora is right now.
"We should’ve just promoted it simply without doing anything weird. That’s obviously the right way."
"So what do we do?"
"We just promote it normally and make a straightforward request. Got it?"
Sora whispers the promotional lines into Rifa’s ear.
Nodding along, Rifa shows she understands.
After a short pause, the two stand side by side,
and with gentle expressions, they speak:
"‘The Beast Tamer Who Was Exiled from the Hero’s Party Meets a Cat-Eared Girl of the Strongest Race’ — Volume 7"
"On sale tomorrow, November 2nd."
"“Please support us.””
Sora and Rifa bow neatly…
"P-please support us… too…"
From far away, after being blown off,
Luna somehow manages to add that in as well.
