Chapter 3:- Strongest Species
( TL By GUST )
There is an existence called "the strongest species".
It is a race that has the power to compete with or outperform S-rank adventurers.
Dragon tribe.
Spirit tribe.
Deity.
There are many "strongest species" in this world, but ...
The most unusual of these is the "Cat Spirits".
It has a misleading name, but it's not a cat ghost.
To the last, it is a race called "cat spirit tribe".
It looks like a person with cat ears and a tail.
The whole race has a cheerful personality and is friendly.
It is incredibly cute even if it is said to be the "strongest species", and at one point it seems that it was worshipped like an idol.
Although it is such a "cat spirit tribe", its potential is tremendous.
You can break the ground with your bare hands, jump up to the clouds without using any tools, and move beyond the speed of sound.
It seems that the physical ability has evolved to the limit because magic can not be used, and it is rumoured that even the Demon King can be defeated if it is just a fight.
However, due to the effects of the wars that occurred in the past, the number of individuals has dropped sharply.
It seems to be endangered now, and it is rare to see it.
It's so hard to find that it's said that good luck will come when you encounter it.
There was such a "cat spirit tribe" girl in front of me.
"Haguhaguhagu! Amu, Amu! Pakupaku Pakupaku, Gokun!"
The "Cat Spirits" girl was eating the emergency portable food I had.
I was eating with all my strength.
Even with this, She was better in eating.
I heard that she was hungry and fell down.
I'm convinced now.
If it's a real "cat spirit tribe", it can't be cornered like a killer tiger.
"Puha !!!!"
When she ate all my portable food, she was finally satisfied, and the girl from "Cat Spirits" smiled.
...... If you look closely, she's very cute.
Beautiful, silky hair that looks like a bunch of light.
Green eyes that shine like jewels.
Without cat ears and a tail, it would be more convincing to be called a princess from some country.
"Did you calm down?"
"Yeah! Thank you very much, I was recouped ... I thought I was going to die from hunger"
"It's an exaggeration"
"It's not an exaggeration. I saw Grandpa and Grandma, who should have gone to heaven without drinking and eating for days, waving me across the river."
It seems that the situation was not so contemporary.
It was really nice to be able to help the girl well.
"Oh, by the way, I didn't introduce myself! I'm sorry I'm a lifesaver. I'm Kanade. As you can see, I'm a girl from the" Cat Spirits "♪"
"I'm Rein Shroud. I'm an adventurer ... a man who's going to be a adventure."
"Are you planning to be one?"
"I'm taking the exam, so I found you at that time."
"I want you to call me Kanade, not you!"
"Then, call me Rein too"
"Yeah! Nice to meet you, Rein ♪"
This is the encounter between me and Kanade.
…… It was my first time with a partner who would be my lifelong partner.
"Well then, Rein was at the hero party."
She said that when he tried to return to the city, Kanade would follow him.
There is no particular problem, so I decided to go with her as it is.
On the way ...
I was telling Kanade what happened to me lately.
Originally, it's the worst memory I don't want to remember ...
When I realized that Kanade's bright personality made it so, I was talking about everything.
"Muu"
Kanade looks moody.
"What happened?"
"I can't forgive that Hero to expel Rein. Rein is such a good person."
"... Will you get angry for me?"
"Of course!"
Kanade is a kind child.
It's hard to feel angry for me who she just met for anyone else .
"Well, it can't be helped. I was indeed in a limb."
"Nyauu ... but it's not right!"
"Thank you, I got angry for me. But now I'm free. Even if I stayed at the party as it was, I wouldn't have had a good time. Given that, I'm glad I was able to get out of it. "
"Hmm ... if Rein doesn't care, I don't care about it either!"
"You're a good girl"
"Nyaa"
I reflexively stroked Kanade's head.
However, Kanade did not show any disliked behaviour, but rather squinted his eyes comfortably.
"Oh, but let me correct just one? Rein isn't useless. Rather, he's very strong."
"Thank you for comforting me."
"It's not comfort. Are you really saying it?"
"Even if you say that ... my power isn't a big deal? Because I'm a beast tamer, I can only use animals ..."
"That's amazing. Rejn's Beast Tamer's talent is exceptional."
"Why can you say that?"
"If it's Rein, maybe you can form a contract with me."
"Huh?"
When I was told something unexpected, I stopped by myself.
Kanade looks up at me and smiles.
"What should I say? The moment I saw Rein, something like electricity ran through my body. That's why I thought. Rein could use me. There are only a handful of people in the world who can use us "Cat Spirits", so Rein is a great person. "
"Even if you say that ..."
I don't feel it.
Do you tame "Cat Spirits"?
I never thought about that ...
"Would you like to tame me?"
"Well, is that okay? No, I don't know if I can do it ..."
"Rein is fine ♪ Are you interested and would you like to try it?"
"..."
If I could use the "strongest species", there would be nothing more encouraging.
But more than that ...
I wanted to get along with Kanade more.
I wanted to be intimate with her by signing a contract.
that's why……
"Okay, I'll try it."
"Yeah ♪ As expected, Rein. I'm supporting you!"
"Then ... can you stay still there?"
"Is it okay to just stay still?"
"Oh, I'll do everything ."
Bite your thumb and shed blood.
Using that blood, I drew a special magic circle on the palm that only Beast Tamers use.
Hold my palm over Kanade.
"... My name is Rein Shroud. I will make a new contract and make a connection here. With my vows in my heart, with hope in my heart, with my strength. Answer. What is your name?"
Here, if Kanade answers his name, the contract is concluded.
If not ...
"... Kanade ..."
Despite his skepticism, Kanade spoke her name.
The magic circle drawn with blood shines.
The light overflows ...
It is sucked into the canade.
"... Nya? Is this the end?"
"Oh ... the contract is complete. Look at the palm of your hand."
"Oh ... oh? Somehow, weird patterns are created."
"That's the proof of the contract that connects me with Kanade. Now ... I've signed with Kanade."
"That's right. This is a proof of the bond between me and Rein ♪ Ehe, I'm glad ♪"
"bond……"
"Is that different?"
"... No, it's right. It's a proof of the bond between me and Kanade."
"Yeah ♪ Nice to meet you, Rein ♪"
"This is my best regards."
thus……
I unintentionally agreed to use the "strongest species".
