I turned off the light and lay down on the bed and Rain fell asleep immediately.
　I could hear him sleeping peacefully.

　I was still awake as I lay in bed as well.
　I look at Rain, who is sleeping comfortably, and smile.

''Nyaa........Rain, you look so cute asleep....

　He looked at Rain's sleeping face and felt something warm spread across his chest.

''Nyafu...''

　I chuckled as I thought back to the day I'd spent with Rain.
　It had been such a fun day.

　I was so giddy with hunger that I passed out.
　I even almost got attacked by a killer tiger when I took advantage of the opportunity.
　We defeated the bandit group together.

'Rain is a good man,'

　You saved my life.
　You fed me.
　You were kind to me.

　And the best part about it is that....

　I am the strongest species, and that's what made me treat myself so 'normal'.

　I'm the strongest species, and I'm a rare cat spirit race among them.
　From my experience, there are no rotten things when I come into contact with humans.

　There was a human who tried to catch me because I was a cat spirit race.
　........Of course, I was allowed to physically eliminate them, though.

　There was a person who tried to get me to cooperate and ask for my handout in some way.
　There are those who believe there is a treasure of the cat spirit tribe, and they want to know where it is.

　The people who approached me had some kind of "plan".
　Money, greed, honor....
　I was on the verge of distrusting people after being shown such human karma.

　It was then that I met Rain.
　Rain was only surprised that I was a cat spirit race........but that's all.
　For helping me out of pure goodness........
　After that, she never showed any greed and treated me as a normal girl.

　I can't tell you how happy that was for me.
　If I told Rayne about it, she would probably laugh at me, but it was such a shock to me that my world was turned upside down?

　Rayne made me smile, and she helped me overcome my distrust of humans.
　That's something I can't thank him enough for, no matter how much I appreciate it.

'I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for Rain... and even if I had been safe, I would have gone back to my home town to endear myself to people.

　I had a near respect for Rain.
　That's why I want to help Rayne.
　If Rain is in trouble, I want to remove that obstacle, no matter what I have to do.

''Rain is still hurting from being kicked out of the hero's party, after all...''

　I was surprised to learn that Rain had been enrolled in a brave party.

　On the other hand, I was convinced.
　Rain's Beast Tamer power is substandard and outrageous.
　I've never heard of it not only using itself, but also using dozens of rabbits at the same time.
　On top of that, he also has the power of an Insect Tamer.
　That's absurd.

　If Rain has that kind of power, I wouldn't be surprised if he joined the party of the brave.......

　From what I heard, he was kicked out for lack of competence.

'I can't forgive her!

　I felt like preaching to the brave party that did the stupidest thing.

　Now find the brave party and beat them all to a pulp........
　Then, I'd get down on my knees to Rain.

　I was seriously thinking about that.
　That's how angry I was.

　But the anger doesn't last long.
　You start to have more sadness than anger.

'When I said I was one of you........Rain, you had a complicated look on your face.......'

　Think about Rain's feelings.

　Perhaps.....

　He thinks he's blown it, but I think Rain is still hurting from being banished from the brave party.
　It's not the fact that he was told he lacked strength, but the fact that he was betrayed by his friends is what he feels most, most bitterly.

　I want to heal that wound.
　I want to heal it.

　What can I do to help you do that?
　How can I get Rain to laugh heartily?

Nyah I can't stop thinking about Lane.

　Why is that?
　My face is a little hot.
　My heart is pounding.

'Hmmm ... well, that's okay!

　Right now, it doesn't matter to me.
　It's about Rain.
　What do you think I should do?

'Ummmmm... no, I don't understand... nyah.'

　I think about it, but I can't come up with a good solution.
　At times like this, I resent myself for being so stupid.
　Should I have studied a bit more in the village?

'I don't know what I can do... but yeah, no matter what, I have to be there for Rain!　I'm Rain's real mate...

　Make no mistake about it.
　I swore to myself that I would ...
　I think about being by Lane's side for a long time to come.
