I'm a beast tamer.
　At first everyone said I was substandard or something, and I wasn't even aware of it...
　Recently, I've learned about my origins and other things, and I've gained a certain amount of confidence in myself.

　I'm not saying that I'm going to be able to do everything ... but I'm confident that I can tame a normal animal.
　I have that kind of confidence that if I didn't have any problems with my physical condition or anything like that, I would have a 100 percent chance of succeeding.

　And yet.....

How could it fail...?

　Again, I can't tame the wolf.
　Strange.
　I've never done this before.

　I get upset and stand on a stick.
　The wolf sees me like that.

On!

　He purred sharply and kicked the ground vigorously.
　Just like that, dada dada!　He rushed at me.

'Whoa!'

　He took a decent hit from the rush and was pushed down.
　It was more forceful than I expected, and I couldn't resist.

　The wolf went straight to my chest and opened its mouth.
　I could see a number of sharp fangs lined up.

　And then.....

Lane?
Uh ... yeah, I'm fine.

　I responded to Kanade, who gave a near scream, saying it was no problem.

　The wolf on top of me...



　He was very happy, buzzing his tail to the side and licking my face with a pert lick.
　He was drooling.

　I don't know why, but he seemed to have missed me a lot.
　I didn't even feed her, and we just met, so why is that?

Lane, are you okay?

　Kanade and the others came running in.
　And then I see the wolf on top of me and I cringe.

'Whoa!　This girl is pretty big........
Really I don't think I've ever seen a wolf this big before. Lane, are you okay?

　Chiffon was right, it's a very large wolf.
　I wonder if he's as long as I am?
　The black fur that covered his entire body had a color scheme I hadn't seen before, with the tips of his hair glowing red.

　The claws on the ends of his hands and feet were sharp as blades.
　But he seemed to be concerned about me, and he curled the tips of his limbs up tightly so that his nails would not pierce me.

　His tail is very large.
　It was about the same size as its body, and from a distance, you might not be able to tell which one was the main body.

　And upon closer inspection, I saw that it had small horns on its forehead.
　Although it was small, it was as sharp as a spear and firmly asserted its presence...

...and the corners?

　I can't help but cringe at something that would be impossible for a normal wolf to see.
　I'm not looking at it wrong, but it's growing well.

　This guy......

I'm not a wolf.

　Rifa says as if to preempt my answer.

'Alright. Good boy,'
"Cun.

　Rifa guided the wolf down from on top of me and then stroked its head.
　The wolf seemed to miss Rifa as well, and it spilled out a pleasant sound when its head was stroked.

　Or rather, it wasn't just Rifa.
　He was also very friendly to Kanade, Chiffon, and the fearful Nina, who was afraid to touch him.

You're very clever. Will you be my family?
"Won.
Shame.

　The wolf shook his head.
　Did I understand what you just said...?
　If that's the case, then his intelligence is pretty impressive.

''Is this kid a demon?''
'I don't think so...'

　It's not surprising that Chiffon thinks so.
　He has characteristics that ordinary wolves don't have, and his intelligence and power are unusually high.

　But it's impossible for a demon to miss people.
　Unless it's a monster tamer using them........
　I didn't do that, and I can't.

　So, then ... what the hell?
　Really, it's a mystery wolf.

"Meow...

　Kanade stared at the wolf.
　The wolf also stared back at her.

''........nyan!
On!

　They bark at each other.
　It's as if they are having a conversation.

'Kanade, do you think you might be able to recognize the sods?
Ummm ... I don't have any proof.

　After a beat, Kanade utters his own conclusion.

''This girl........is the strongest species, isn't she?''
"What?

　Me and Chiffon's surprise coincides with each other.
　However, Nina and Rifa are not surprised to see that I had come to the same conclusion as Kanade.

''Is that true?''
'I don't have any evidence, so I can't rule it out. But there's no way a normal wolf or any of those demons could push down a Rain who is under contract with me.

　Come to think of it, yes.

"The fact that Rain can't make a provisional contract is understandable if she is the strongest species. No matter how many Rains you have, it's not possible for them to make a provisional contract with the strongest species with impunity...hmmm, but Rain will be able to pull it off?
Don't be ridiculous. You're right, I can't.

　There's no way you can use the strongest species in a temporary contract, even if it's this contract.

"Also, it's going to be like my intuition, but.......I feel some kind of sympathy for this girl. It's a feeling that only our strongest species can have, or perhaps an atmosphere of companionship.
I see...

　When Kanade, the strongest species, said it, it was rather convincing.

''You're the strongest species?''
On!

　The wolf barked cheerfully, whether he knew about our question or not.
