Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 441
CHAPTER 441: IMPATIENCE
By using the magic tool designed for teleportation several times in a row, Monica finally returned to the mansion where her dear Master was.
It was the kind of magic tool that required a slight cooldown time between uses and cannot be used continuously, but……
It could be used as many times as the magic power of the user would last.
Although it was a very useful magic tool, it could only be used to teleport one person at a time.
Also, the distance it could travel at once was not all that great to begin with.
It was the kind of magic tool that had its share of advantages but also disadvantages.
「Oh well, it’s something that cannot possibly be helped.
Monika let out a slight sigh as she said that.
She now had to meet Risu and report the details of what happened on the Northern Continent to her.
But her report was only going to be a mere formality at this point.
Even without receiving Monika’s report directly from her, Risu would have already obtained the information through various other intermediaries.
But that did not mean that Monika could allow herself to just sit there and do nothing.
Even though her report would likely just repeat the information that Risu already knew, she had to go there and meet with her face-to-face.
「What kind of expression should I wear when I go meet with Risu-sama……?」
Risu’s purpose this time around was to eliminate the unknown Ultimate Species living in the Northern Continent.
It also might have seemed incredibly difficult, but she also wanted to prevent Rein from being able to heal Iris.
However, neither of those objectives could be achieved this time around.
Even though she used her trump card of turning Rin into a Demon and using her to attack Rein’s group, she was unable to kill even a single person.
「What a blunder on my part……」
Angered by the fact that things didn’t go as she planned, Monika bit her teeth in frustration.
She put on a cool face in front of Rein, Tanya, and the others, but that was just an act.
Inside, she was surprised, irritated, and even angry at Rein and the others who were breaking through the traps and schemes she had prepared one after another.
How displeasing.
Things went well at first.
Although she appeared to support Arios, she actually incited him to do something reckless and irreversible.
After his title of Hero was officially revoked, she helped him escape from prison, got onto his good side, and recruited him to the Demonic cause.
She supported Weiss and lent him a hand in his plan to annihilate the Oni Tribe.
Although this plan also failed, it was more of Weiss’s fault than her own.
In the incident that occurred in Kagune, she was able to work effectively behind the scenes.
As proof of that, she was able to obtain Iris’s soul, although it was an incomplete one.
Everything went smoothly for the most part, and Risu was also satisfied with Monika’s work.
But…… What about this time?
She hasn’t achieved any of the goals that she set for herself.
On the contrary, with the loss of Rin, the bonds between Rain, the Phoenix Tribe, and the Direwolf Tribe being established and growing stronger……
Monika could only see the negatives here.
Her head really started to hurt.
「No, in the first place……」
Will I really be able to cope well?
Such doubts and anxieties floated in the depths of Monika’s heart.
Originally, Arios should not have been deprived of the title of a Hero quite yet.
The plan was for him to play an active role as a Hero, but to create a connection with Risu behind the scenes and use him as a convenient puppet.
In the case of Weiss, if she had handled things better, wouldn’t she have been able to avoid his demise?
Although the purpose of the Kagune incident was to obtain Iris’s power, it was far from perfect.
And there was no need to even mention that Northern Continent fiasco.
「If you think about it calmly…… This really isn’t good.」
Monica looked extremely bitter.
She has done a fair amount of work.
But she was far from perfect when it would come to results.
That was no good.
She wanted to be more helpful to Risu.
She wanted to wield her power for her sake.
「Yes…… I have to be useful to Risu-sama.」
She had that much gratitude for her.
It’s not just my gratitude, I also want to be of help to Reese.
She could do anything for her.
She wanted to do anything for her.
She was also prepared to lay her life on the line for her if need be.
The stronger that feeling was, the more anxious she would become.
Was she really useful to Risu?
He said she did not care about her failures in the past few years, but wasn’t she actually bitter and disappointed in her?
Has she not been dismissed as incompetent?
「Ugh……」
Imagining the worst possible future like that, Monika was starting to feel so sick that she would almost become nauseous because of that.
One of her hands went to her mouth.
Her other hand went to her chest.
As she felt her own heartbeat in the palm of her hand, she repeated her vows in her heart to calm down.
「…… Fuuh.」
Monika regained her composure and headed towards Risu’s chambers once again.
「I’m back, Risu-sama.」
「Welcome back, Monika.」
Risu greeted Monika with a smile, and she immediately grasped her hand.
Then she touched every part of her body.
「Ahh, umm…… Risu-sama? What are you doing, touching my body so suddenly like that?」
「I heard about the events on the Northern Continent.」
「This is……」
「So I was worried that you might be hurt. But it looks like you’re alright. I’m relieved to see that.」
「……………」
Monika was stunned.
There was no lie in Risu’s words.
There was so much emotion in her words.
Monika was surprised because she felt it so clearly.
She wouldn’t be surprised if Risu chose to abandon her……
But despite this, Risu still not only kept her by her side, but she also treated her with compassion.
Ahh!
What a wonderful Master Risu was!
Risu hasn’t changed since she rescued her.
She showered her with love, like a friend and a mother would.
Monika, who could sense this fact more than ever, made her vow to work for her even harder than ever before.
She felt more loyalty to her than ever before.
But at the same time, she felt…… impatience brewing inside.
She couldn’t keep producing only half-baked results.
She wanted to produce the most perfect result for Risu’s sake.
Monica…… was starting to become nervous.
