Chapter 17-: How to Fight As a  Beast Tamer

I made a contract with Kanade: ......

and got the power of the most powerful species: ......

Maybe I was a little smug.

The idea of taking on a dragon in a fistfight was ridiculous.

I'm a Beast Tamer.

I have to fight like a Beast Tamer.

"Can you buy me three minutes or.....5 minutes of...... time?

"Yeah, sure."

You answered immediately.

but I'm counting on you.

"Just buy me some time and I'll take care of the rest."

"All right!　Then I'll do my best!"

"Believe me it will work."

"Have you finished your strategy meeting?

It seems that Tania had been waiting for me with great diligence.

It is possible that she is underestimating me because I am a human.

If that's the case, there's an opening for me.

"I'll be there!

"Mmm?"

Kanade dashed forward.

It's like a storm.

She approaches Tania and attacks her 

She added a twist and then a kick.

"I'm not sure if it's okay for you to jump so far like that, will your stamina be fine like that?."(Kanade)

"I'm sure it will be fine because Rain has already came up with plan."(Kanede)

Hey.

Don't give away the plan.

I'm not going to be able to do that.

I'm going to use the power I got from Kanade to jump onto the parapet of the bridge.

"......"

I sharpened my senses and searched my surroundings.

The goal is to find a certain "bird".

Thanks to Kanade's power, I was able to concentrate even more than before.

I can search for signs of the bird for miles around.

And ......

"I found it!"

I could faintly see the figure of a bird running in the sky.

I head towards it and let my Beast Tamer power fly.

"Come on!

It is easy to be misunderstood, but Beast Tamers can control their targets to a certain extent, even without a contract.

It is possible to make them do what you tell them to do if it is a very simple command like that.

But that's because they're just animals, and you can't give orders to the strongest species like Tania.

But for now, this is enough.

"Squeak!"

In response to my words, the birds flapped their wings and came towards me.

There were about ten of them.

There were about ten of them, and they were called pitot, with two extreme colours: black and orange.

While she was having a skirmish with Tania, I saw this bird. ......

I'm glad I wasn't wrong.

"Okay, good boy.

I signed a tentative contract with ten pitots.

Now we can give them more complex orders.

It took me about three minutes to get to this point.

That's perfect.

I climbed down from the parapet with Pito and the others and shouted to Kanade.

"Kanade, I'll take care of the rest!

"Yes, I'm on it!"

I'll take care of it!" Tania smiled wryly as she and Kanade took over.

"What? You will be my new opponent?"

"It's ...... them that you'll be dealing with!　　Go."

After my declaration 

They flapped their wings in unison and rushed to Tania's side.

They swarmed Tania and attacked her with their sharp beaks and claws.

"Hey, what's this?

"I tamed them. Now they'll do anything I say.

"You've tamed all these kids?　　No, that's not possible!

Even Kanade was surprised. ......

Is it so strange to tame more than one animal?

"But what does it matter if it's ......?　　I'm surprised that you can tame more than one animal, but what are you going to do with a bird like this?　　I'll tell you what, it won't hurt you at all.　　Or is your goal not to damage me, but to block my vision?"

"Even if you do, Tania can reap the birds in an instant, can't she?

"Yes. It's useless. I mean, it's so annoying that I might as well do it for real.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I'm sorry, but I can't. If I was going to do it, I would have done it sooner.

"What?"

Tania made a strange face and ......

In the next moment, her expression became distorted.

"You ...... what did you do ......?

"Thinking it just as a  bird and you became careless. They're special birds that are poisonous.

"Poisonous ......?

"See how they're coloured?　　It's called a warning colour, and it's a way to show that I'm poisonous. Pitot is that kind of bird.

"Damn it, ......, I'm ...... over a bird."

"It's useless. The Pitot's poison is powerful enough to kill people in some cases. That's for ten birds. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to try. It's a dragon, so I don't think it's going to kill you, but ...... you won't be able to move for a while. That's it."

I gave the signal and let Pitot and the others go.

Pitot and the others flew high into the air and ......

"This is the way beast tamers fight, not by trying to accomplish things alone, but by working together with others. This is a good way to fight beast tamers, don't you think?

"...... Yeah, maybe.

"So ...... do you want to continue?

"I'm not going to ....... I don't think I'm going to be able to move for a while. ...... I'm tired. ......

"So, I guess Kanade and I win.

"Okay. ...... I, Tania, accept ...... defeat.

"Rain!"

"Oh!"

Kanade came running up to me and hugged me.

"I'm not sure what to say. It's not only the beast tamer's skill but also his deep knowledge that makes it possible. I'm not sure what but congratulations on your win."

"Oh, thank you."

"Rain wins, Rain wins."

"Oh, calm down, Kanade. I know you're happy, but there's something I need to do first.

"What do you have to do? 

"I don't want to stop you, but I do want to talk to about some things, so let's take ...... Tania into town.

"Are you going to sell me to...... another human being?

"I'm not going to do that. What did I tell you?　　You said you wanted to talk. As far as I'm concerned, I just want to get this over with. In order to do that, I need to talk to Tania about some things and get her to promise not to do anything like that again.

"What if I told you that you couldn't ask...... that?"

"What should I do then......, am I in trouble?　　There are so many unexpected things that I hadn't thought that far ahead...... hopefully you'll accept my persuasion...... hmm.

"...... Pfft, haha!"

Tania laughed happily.

"You've won...... and now you're in trouble because...... it's funny, it's really funny......"

"That's what I'm saying....... I'm in serious trouble, okay?

"You're a weird person....... Okay, I'll go with you guys. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to...... talk to you.

"Thanks.

"Just......

"Just?

"Can you give me a little......more time?　　I'm numb from the poison.......Oh, I can't move.......

"You're numb? Tick, tick, tick.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, ...... don't poke me, not now, not...... now, not now, not now, not now!

The result was not quite as tight as it should have been.......

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
