Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12: KANADE’S THOUGHTS

I turned off the light and lay down on the bed and Rein fell asleep almost immediately.

I could hear him sleeping peacefully right next to me.

As for me, I was still awake as I laid in bed as well.

I looked at Rein, who was sleeping comfortably, and smiled.

「Nyaah…….. You look so cute when you are sleeping, Rein……♪」

I looked at Rein’s sleeping face and felt something warm spreading across my chest.

「Nyafufufu…… 」

I chuckled as I thought back to the day I’d spent with Rein.

It had been such a fun and eventful day.

I was so giddy with hunger that I almost passed out at the side of the road.

I even almost got attacked by a Killer Tiger when it took advantage of the opportunity that presented itself right in front of it.

We defeated the bandit group together.

「Rein is such a good person.」

He saved my life.

He fed me delicious food.

He was so kind to me.

And the best part about all of this is that……

Even though I am the member of the ‘Ultimate Species’, he would still treat me like a normal girl..

I’m the ‘Ultimate Species’ and I’m a rare Cat Spirit Tribe, rare specimen even among the ‘Ultimate Species’.

From my own experience, there is nothing good that can come out of interacting with humans.

There was a human who tried to capture me because I was a Cat Spirit Tribe.

…… Of course, when someone would approach me with evil intentions, it was only natural that I would clobber them down.

There was a person who tried to get me to cooperate with them, so that I could do all of the heavy-lifting for them and they would get the spoils.

There were those who believed that there is something like the treasure of the Cat Spirit Tribe, and they wanted to know where it is.

The people who used to approach me always had some kind of “ulterior motive”

Be it money, greed, fame……

I was on the verge of distrusting people completely after being shown such a bad side of human nature.

But it was then that I met Rein.

Rein was only surprised that I was a Cat Spirit Tribe…… but that was all.

He also helped me out of pure goodness and generosity……..

After that, he never showed any greed towards me and treated me as a normal girl.

You cannot even fathom to imagine just how happy that made me feel.

If I told Rayne about it, he would probably laugh at me, but it was such a shock to me that I felt like my entire world was about to be turned upside down?

Rein made me smile, and he helped me overcome my distrust of humans.

That’s something I can’t thank him enough for, no matter how much I appreciate it.

I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t for Rein…… and even if I had been safe, I would have most probably gone back to my hometown to isolate myself from humans.

I had a great deal of respect for Rein.

That’s why I want to help him out as much as I can.

If Rein is in trouble, I want to remove that obstacle, no matter what I have to do.

Rein is still hurting from being kicked out of the Hero’s Party……

To be honest, I was surprised to learn that Rein had been enrolled in a Hero’s Party in the first place.

　On the other hand, I was convinced at that time.

Rein’s Beast Tamer power is substandard and outrageous.

I’ve never heard of a Beast Tamer not only fighting himself, but also taming dozens of rabbits at the same time.

On top of that, he also has the power of an Insect Tamer.

That’s absurd enough as it is.

If Rein has that kind of power, I wouldn’t be surprised if he would join the Hero’s Party at some point in his life……

But from what I’ve heard, he was kicked out for lack of competence.

「I can’t forgive those people for that!」

I felt like preaching to the Hero’s Party that did the stupidest thing ever in banishing Rein!

I want to find them and beat every single one of them to a bloody pulp for what they did to Rein.

Then, I would force them to get down on their knees and apologize to Rein.

I was seriously considering doing just that for a while there.

That’s how angry I was at the moment.

But my anger didn’t last all that long.

Soon enough, that anger turned more and more into sadness rather than anything else.

「When I said that we were comrades, Rein…… You had such a complicated look on your face…….」

I then thought about Rein’s feelings for a while.

Perhaps…..

He thought that he was well over it, but I think Rain was still hurting from being banished from the Hero’s Party deep down inside.

It’s not the fact that he was told he lacked strength, but the fact that he was betrayed by his friends. That must have been the thing that he was the most sad and bitter about.

I would want to heal that wound of his, if I could.

No…… I want to heal it.

What can I do to help him do just that?

How can I get Rain to laugh honestly and from the bottom of his heart?

「Nyaaah……! I can’t stop thinking about Rein for some reason……!!」

Why is that?

My face feels a little bit hot.

My heart is pounding like crazy.

「Nnnhhh…… Oh well, that’s fine, too! I guess!」

Right now, it doesn’t even matter to me all that much.
It’s not about me. It’s about Rein.

What should I do here? I need to think about that!

「Hnnngh, hnnngghhh…… Waah! I can’t! Don’t get it! Not even a little bit! Nyaaahh!!!」

I keep thinking about it, but I can’t come up with any good solutions.

At times like this, I resent myself for being so stupid and clueless.

Should I have studied a bit more in the village?

「I don’t know what it is that I can do to help…… But yeah, no matter what, I have to be there for Rein! After all, I am Rein’s true comrade now……!」

Make no mistake about it!

I swore to myself that I would do it……

That I would stay at Rein’s side for as long as it would be possible!
