Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 84

CHAPTER 84: SORA AND LUNA’S THOUGHTS

They say that time flies by so quickly when you are having fun.

The meal with everyone was soon over, before anyone even realized it.

Sora went back to her assigned room together with Luna.

Incidentally, no one would be taking any bath tonight.

Because we just happened to move in today, it was simply not ready for use yet.

I wiped myself with a steaming towel and that’s what I’ve had to settle for today.

「Good night, Sora.」

「Good night, Luna.」

We exchanged the usual words at the end of the day and laid down to go to bed.

Sora and Luna are sharing the same room.

Rein told us that since the house had enough rooms in it, it was entirely possible for us to have our own rooms……

Sora had been together with Luna ever since she was born.

We have always been together.

Is that the reason why?

It’s not that I don’t want to be in separate rooms, but I’m not comfortable enough unless we’re in the same room.

It seems that Luna feels the same way, and she chose to stay with Sora.

Goodness gracious, am I right?

She’s still a little sister who can’t be separated from her older sister, it seems.

「……………

I laid down, but the sleepiness would simply not come.

We have been working on moving in all throughout the morning……

I should be tired from all of it, but strangely enough I was not sleepy. Not even a bit.

「…… Rein……」

It was at this time that I would start thinking about our dear Master.

The person that Sora and the rest of the Spirit Tribe should have hated the most.

That is the Master of Sora and the others, the person with whom she has forged a contract with.

To be honest, I still don’t like humans all that much.

It’s not so much that I hate them, but……..

When I was back in the village of the Spirit Tribe, I heard so many bad stories about humans all the time.

Because of that influence, it was hard for me to bring myself to like humans.

In fact, there were some worthless humans out there, like the Lord and his son, if you wanted to have an example.

But Rein was different.

He was kind, and always thought of Sora and the others before he would think of himself…….

He was also willing to hurt himself for Sora and the others’ sake.

He was unlike any other human that Sora would know of.

Could it be that Rein was actually not human?

Rain was such a ‘good person’ that I couldn’t really stop myself from thinking such stupid thoughts like that.

「……………」

Why is Rein so kind to us?

Is it because of the influence he had when he was still with the Hero’s Party?

Or was it perhaps the influence from an even earlier time…… back when he was still in his hometown?

「…… I don’t know. I just don’t know……」

Suddenly, a thought occurs to me.

Could it be that Rein is just so kind to pretty much everyone?

Or…… Could it be that he’s so kind to us because we are US specifically?

I was wondering about that for a good moment.

Considering Rein’s personality, it’s probably the former.

It shouldn’t be that only Sora and the others are treated by him as special.

But……

But still……

If there was ever a chance that Rein would think of us as special, even A LITTLE BIT……

…… That would be really nice.

「…… Huh?」

I wonder?

Why is Sora so concerned about Rein in the first place?

Because we are friends who go on various adventures together?

…… That might be the case.

It’s very natural to be concerned about your fellow companions.

It’s something perfectly natural.

「But still……」

I had a feeling that this was not it. At least not entirely.

Without any kind of reason behind it, I have found myself thinking about Rein constantly.

Why is that?

Thinking about Rein made my heart pound faster, if just a little bit.

It was truly a strange feeling……

But it was also somewhat comforting.

「I wonder what that is……?」

***

「I wonder what that is……?」

There was a very quiet murmur coming from the bed on the opposite end of the room that the two of us were sharing.

It was so quiet that I could not quite make out what my sister was saying, but……

「Oh well……」

I guess that at the very least she was not badmouthing me in any sort of way.

And that’s good enough for me.

After all, Sora is Sora.

And Luna is Luna.

Let’s just go to bed for the time being.

I pulled the sheets over myself and put my head on the pillow.

I closed my eyes and waited for the sleepiness to overcome me…… But.

「…… Mumumumumumuh……!!」

I just couldn’t fall asleep.

I was feeling strangely lucid for some reason.

At times like this, I would usually think about things that would make me naturally sleepy.

One sheep…… Two sheep…… Three sheep……

「…… They’re all so lumpy and cuddly, aren’t they? Just right for some cuddling……」

Huh!?

I thought about something completely unrelated just now!

I must have forgotten how many of them I counted!

Damn it, what an ordinary mistake I just made!

Since I had no choice here, I’d better start thinking of something else for the time being……

Other things, other things……

I wonder how Rein is doing?

Suddenly, I thought of Rein for some reason.

Why is that, I wonder?

Why Rein specifically?

The reason for that…… I don’t know.

「…… Speaking of which.」

Sometimes, there is this thought that occurs to me.

Why can’t Rein rely on us more?

We owe Rein a tremendous debt of gratitude.

And we have a good opinion of his character.

So we are willing to use our power for Rein’s sake at a moment’s notice.

And yet, it seems that Rein does not like to put us in front of himself.

When the Demon showed up, he didn’t really say that out loud, but……

When the Lord and his son got involved with us, he helped us out without even thinking about it too much.

If we had used our power, we could have blown up the entire mansion to smithereens, alongside the Lord and his goons, possibly preventing what then ultimately transpired.

But that way, we had no chance to even show Rein what we are truly capable of!

Well, I have no particular reason to want to boast about my powers and abilities to people like that.

But I guess that if it was for Rein’s sake, I wouldn’t really mind doing just that.

At least we could be praised by him if we did a good job!

「Muuuhn!」

Would it really be so bad for him if he would rely on us some more?

Being cherished by him like that…… Well, it doesn’t feel so bad, but……

But that’s why it also feels a little bit lonely.

I want to help Rein out.

That’s why I want him to rely on me more.

But I don’t want to cause him any unnecessary trouble, so I don’t want to do anything rash.

Huh?

I’m afraid I don’t know what I’m talking about anymore.

I’m so confused……

「…… Fuh.」

I let out a sigh and try to calm myself down.

「And yet……」

Why would I want to help Rein out?

Because I owe him big time for what he did?

Or is it because I like his personality?

Or is it because I want him to compliment me?

…….I’m not sure anymore.

「It’s just……」

I want to do something for Rein.

That’s what my heart was telling me to do.

What kind of feeling is that?

I don’t know…… I don’t know myself what I’m feeling right now……
