Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 165 Part 2

CHAPTER 165: SORA AND LUNA’S MOTHER PART 2

「But it’s only a matter of where we go from there. Just as we have been guarding the other entrances, there will definitely be gatekeepers stationed near this passage as well. So first of all, there’s definitely going to be trouble with granting us passage.」

「When it comes to the guardians themselves, I don’t think that there will be more than five of them at any given passage. So if push really comes to shove, I think that we can just overpower them by sheer force, no problem.」

「But basically, the reclusive Spirit Tribe are not people who are all that well combat-oriented.」

「Luna, how many times did I tell you not to call us that!?」

「However, if we really want to brute-force our way inside, this won’t be received all that well with the village, and in the worst case scenario we might be treated as outsiders. You can probably imagine that this would cause us a huge amount of different problems in and out of itself.」

Yes, picking up a fight with the Spirit Tribe is something that we definitely do not want to do here.

We just want to talk to Sora and Luna’s mother. That’s all.

Can’t we just try to emphasize that point to them and convince them to let us pass?

「Oh, and let me just tell you, trying to make those guys emphasize with us and persuade them to just let us in might actually be impossible.」

Luna said as if she could see right through my thoughts.

「I’m sure that you remember that part, but the Spirit Tribe has a huge prejudice against humans in general. Before we met you, Rein, we too thought of humans as nothing more but insects and even worse than that.」

「D-Does it really go that far……?」

「Humans are like natural enemies to us, because they desecrate nature and cut down trees for the sake of their own convenience. So it’s only natural that we think of them as nothing more but brutish monsters.」

「That is why we think it will be impossible to reason with those guys.」

「Oh, boy.」

So in other words, we finally managed to obtain a clue in our investigation, but it was the kind of clue that we couldn’t possibly make any use of.

However, we can’t really afford to look for any other clues right now.

We need to see Sora and Luna’s mother somehow, but…..

But how can we even do that?

「Say, Rein? Would you be willing to leave this matter to us?」

Unusually for her…… I don’t know why…… Luna gave me a serious look and quietly opened her mouth.

「What do you have in mind?」

「We will try to convince the gatekeepers to let us in.」

「But that’s……」

Didn’t you say that it was something that was extremely hard to do?

Sora and Luna are the ones who have decided to quit their guardians jobs in favor of venturing out into the world and seeing it with their own eyes.

So even though they are supposed to be the members of the same race, I imagine that the arrival of Sora and Luna would not be a pleasant surprise for them.

「I can certainly understand your concerns, Rein. Whether or not they will listen to us, it is something that we can’t possibly predict. We will just have to go there and see it for ourselves.」

「But we can’t give up now. We are not going to just throw that clue out on the streets just because of some small roadblock.」

「And we think our chances of success are actually pretty high out there. But that is all assuming that they will want to listen to us first……」

「And of that doesn’t work, we will just have to go to the village ourselves.」

「And once we are going to be in there, we will try to get to know where our Mother is right now. There should be no problem with a plan like that, wouldn’t you agree?」

「I mean, yeah, sure……」

Now that they were laying it out like that, I could definitely see that this plan could work out.

We have to assume that other Spirit Tribe members would never actually hinder their brethren making an attempt at coming back home.

But it’s just that……

If we really decide to go through with that idea, that would mean that we would have to leave things entirely to Sora and Luna, leaving them without support, all on their own.

It’s not that I do not trust them and I would rather not want them to do something so reckless.

They are the precious members of my Party. So if they say that they want to try and do this, I trust them with all of my heart.

But what if something completely unexpected ends up happening?

What if leaving the two of them alone would put them in some sort of danger?

I can’t help but worry about the two of them like that, and because of that I was unable to actually make a definite decision to carry out this plan.

Sora and Luna gave me a gentle smile as I seemed to be getting more and more lost in my own thoughts.

「My Lord. Do you have faith in us?」

「Yes, I do. Do you even need to ask?」

「Then you should have no trouble with leaving this task to Sora and Luna to carry it out.」

「Isn’t that what trusting someone is supposed to be all about?」

「And now that you have placed your trust in us, Sora and Luna will do their very best to make things right and return to you with some good news, Master.」

Well, I’ll be damned.

It would seem that the two of them saw right through me and knew exactly what I was thinking.

And even though I thought that I trusted them, I even got lectured on the nature of trust just now.

Maybe I really am worrying over nothing here.

I need to trust in Sora and Luna some more from now on.

「Alright. Well then, may I ask you to do this for us?」

「Yup! Sure thing! Just leave it to us!」

「Yes, sir!」

Sora and Luna both nodded their heads vigorously.

「Well then, let’s go to the village of the Spirit Tribe, on the double!」

「Luna, where do you think you’re going?　The entrance is the other way around.」

「…… Yeah, yeah, I know. It was just a little mistake on my part.」

Sora calmly admonished Luna as she was about to walk off in the direction of who knows where.

Seemingly embarrassed, Luna’s cheeks were lightly stained crimson.

「So…… Where is the entrance to the Spirit Tribe village supposed to be?」

「It’s actually not far away from here. We can say that for sure thanks to us feeling the flow of power that only our Spirit Tribe can feel.」

「There’s probably an entrance near the foot of this very mountain.」

「Okay. So in the meantime, let us at the very least escort you to the entrance.」

「Umu. Well then, let’s go!!!」
