Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 244 Part 2

CHAPTER 244: THE MOVING CONSPIRACY PART 2

As a mere Adventurer, I don’t know why she would risk it all now to help me out so much. do so much for me.

「Well, about that, you see…… I do believe that you are someone who this country is going to need sooner rather than later, Rein-san. So call it taking care of you before that happens?」

「What is that…… even supposed to mean……?」

「I’m really sorry, Rein-san. You see, I was more driven by impulse and instinct here, so I’m afraid that I can’t actually explain it all too well. But I really think that this country is going to need you in the future, Rein-san.」

「Oh, come on now, you are giving me way more credit than I actually deserve.」

「Oh, no, I don’t think so, Rein-san. Perhaps my father is thinking the same thing. That’s why he did not stop me from acting on my own this time around, and that’s why he’s letting us do as we please for the time being. Otherwise it would be impossible for you to escape from that prison.」

Now, even if you say something as huge as that to me right now…… There was still a part of me that felt mighty confused by hearing that information.

But, in other words, I guess this means more or less that Thalia-sama really appreciated me and everything that I have done?

At the very least she seems to be approving of me.

It was a rather strange feeling.

Once I was banished from the Hero’s Party for being useless to everyone……

So it was hard for me to believe that someone like the crown Princess would approve of me just like that.

But it was an honor to be able to have someone like that put their trust in you.

So I was honestly glad to hear that from her.

「I understand. For now, I shall just accept those kind words of yours as genuine praise.」

「You can be sure that I will spare no effort in my attempt to help you, Rein-san. So let’s work together to overcome this situation one way or another.」

「Yes, let’s try to do just that」

Now then…… For the time being, I understood our current situation.

But what should our next step be here?

「Everyone, what do you…… Ah.」

I was tempted to ask everyone else about their opinion, as per my usual habit.

But…… Of course, there was no answer from everyone else.

Because I was the only one who was freed from prison. Everyone else remained captured.

「……………」

The lack of a response from everyone made me realize once again that I was all alone now.

Up until now, no matter what difficulties I had encountered, everyone was there by my side to help me out.

Kanade was there by my side.

Tanya was there by my side.

Sora was there by my side.

Luna was there by my side.

Nina was there by my side.

Tina was there by my side.

But now…… There was no one else here.

I was the only one.

The impact of that realization almost made my hands tremble.

Honestly, the thought of being all alone in this situation was making me shiver in fear.

I had completely forgotten just how hard it was to be all alone in the world.

「Ngh!」

I then shook my head.

To tell you the truth, I was really anxious here.

I was actually scared to death.

But that did not mean that I could just stand still and do nothing.

Everyone else was still imprisoned and in need of my help.

And if it was indeed so, then what should my next move be?

Of course, it was to help everyone else from my party!

Until now, I have been supported by my dear friends in many ways.

And they have saved me in more ways than I could possibly count.

And if that was so, then……

Now it was my turn to help everyone else.

It was my time to properly save them.

Because if I weren’t going to give it my very best here, then when would I possibly do my best?

It’s time for me to move forward.

I just couldn’t stand in place and do absolutely nothing.

I cannot afford to be lost like that forever.

I can’t just be all clumsy and wallow in my own despair all the time.

The others were counting on me, so I had to hurry!

「Alright.」

I then changed my mind into other, more positive gear and let out a deep breath.

「Fufu.」

I noticed that Thalia-sama had a soft smile on her face.

「Umm…… Is something the matter?」

「I honestly would have supported you if it was necessary, Rein-san, but I guess that my concerns for you were entirely unnecessary…… You are a strong and courageous person indeed, Rein-san, and I can see that you were able to get right back on your feet without any help.」

「Well, that’s not true. I’m not strong enough on my own at all. The only reason I am able to do this and pull through here, it’s because of my dear friends.」

「I think that it’s not a bad thing to have others help you from time to time. I think it’s a whole lot better than being on your own. So I hope you will accept my assessment of you, Rein-san, but this time around without any unnecessary humility.」

「…… Alright. I understand.」

I guess it was only expected of her, but……

Maybe it was because of her position as a royal Princess, but Thalia-sama had a very deep perspective and unprecedented perception skills.

For the sake of Thalia-sama, who has decided to lend me her aid like that, I have to get through this incident in one piece, uncover the truth and clear my name once and for all!
