Chapter 8-: Jet Black Fang

After defeating all the bandits, I called out to the merchant.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes ... Thank you for helping me in a hazardous place. Thank you very much!"

The merchant seemed to return to me and bowed in a hurry.

"You're not injured, right?"

"Yes, I and the coachman have no problem."

"Isn't it a little defenceless to move to such a place without an escort?"

"No, I hired an escort, but when I was at a disadvantage, they ran away ..."

"Terrible guys"

"They are already gone. More than that ..."

The merchant says trembling.

"A while ago, the word" jet-black fangs " came from their mouths ... If it really is that" jet-black fangs ", we have to run away quickly ... Oh, what do you mean? Look at them. I can't put it on ... "

"Are they so annoying?"

Because I was at the brave party, my public information is sparse.

"They are monster in human clothing. They kill all their prey. They kill all those who oppose them. It seems that there are many skilled people, and many adventurers and soldiers of the country are fighting in it and they also act as mercenaries in wars and sometimes pillage innocent villagers..."

"So that's it"

Even in an emergency, we took a fight with them.

I don't regret any of that ...

If I leave it as it is, it will be troublesome.

"Kuku, Kuku ..."

One of the thieves lying on the ground lifted his lips.

"They're done ... I remembered that face perfectly ... Family, relatives, friends ... I'll kill them all ..."

"Is it a threat?"

"It's a fact that's about to happen ...

It doesn't seem to reflect on it.

The other guys must have  similar mentality as them .

When it comes to that, it is appropriate to judge that the members of "Jet Black Fang" who are not here are the same type of human beings.

"If so, do I have  catch everyone of you?"

""Huuuh?""

The merchant opened his eyes.

Kanade also made her eyes round.

"Well, what did you say now ...?"

"We can't leave these dangerous guys alone? They will try for revenge, so it's a hassle to be targeted later.  crushing  them now is much better."

"Um ... Rain, isn't that a bit crazy?"

"Why?"

"The opponent is a bandit group of more than 100 people? I have no problem, but Rain is a human being ... Even if you have a contract with me, I think it is difficult to deal with 100 people?"

"Not really"

"Nyan?"

"Well, leave it to me."

――――――――――

Upon cross-examination, it seems that the hideout of "Jet Black Fang" is in a cave off the highway.

We leave the captive bandits to the merchant and we head to the cave.

"... I found it. It's over there."

I arrived at the cave, relying on the sense of smell of Kanade.

As before, I will look at the situation while hiding in the shade of a tree.

There are two guards at the entrance.

"Is this cave the  correct one ?"

"Yeah. It seems that' Jet Black Fang' had made  the cave as their  hideout. There are so many voices from inside the cave that it seems unlikely that they are going somewhere."

"Good"

"What are you going to do? I'm going to dig in like before? Oh, but this time I'll stand in front of you? No matter how hard I think Rain isn't strong...."

"That's right, but I'm not going into the dark cave."

It's a bandit hideout that is wanted by the authorities.

The inside will be full of traps.

I'm not going to show myself and fight in such a place.

"If it's in the forest, we can fight in open... OK, so we will do this."

I signed a temporary contract with a bee flying around.

"Huh, did you sign a contract with a bee ...? Um ... a bee is not an animal, but an insect ..."

"Do you know about Insect Tamer?"

"Eh? Ah, yeah. It's an insect version of Beast Tamer, right? You can sign a contract with an insect ... No way."

"I've been training as an insect tamer for a while, so insects can also be used."

"Eh? Eh? Yeah ...? Well, can you do that? The words aren't enough anymore to say about you..."

Kanade has a complicated expression that makes her look astonished and amazed.

"It's impossible to have two professions at the same time ..."

"Insect tamers aren't perfect, because there are still many things they can't do. I'm doing my best because I use them normally. Alright, other friends also have made provisional contracts."

"That's more than enough. Rain is really amazing ... I'm paralyzed by common sense. I mean, I'm worried about Rain's past ..."

I let the bees you used to gather your friends ...

Then I signed a provisional contract with hundreds of bees.

"I don't think I would say that contracting with so many bees would be a normally be possible by a normal beast tamer ..."

"Really?"

"Nyaa ... I'm just surprised when I'm with Rain."

"Well at least you won't be bored?"

"... Kusu. That's right."

It was strangely calm to sprinkle a fight on a large bandit from now on.

...... Maybe it's because Kanade is with me.

With Kanade's smile, I feel like I can do my best.

"So what will do you do?"

"This bee is a special individual called RB. It has a paralytic poison and captures the target. It is a strange bee that feeds on it's prey  when it is brought back to the nest."

"Oh, I'm starting to see the story. You're urging them to talk to them, right?"

"correct answer"

RB is so toxic that once it is stabbed, it cannot move properly for half a day.

"I'll give instructions to the bees here, so Kanade will go back to the city and gather other adventurers and soldiers from the country, as I can't catch them all by myself."

"Yeah, laja!"

She nods with a smile ...

Then she makes a serious face.

"But be careful? It's Rain, so I don't think you'll make a mistake ... but be careful, won't you?"

"I know. If I  think it's bad, I will run away immediately. I promise."

"Yes"

Kanade looks back at me with anxiety, but ...

It seems that she was finally relieved when I nodded firmly to say that it was okay.

Jump and disappear beyond the clouds.

"OK. Then ... You guys understand what has to be done...right?"

I ordered the flock of RBs to go.
