Meet Beast Tamer, the mightiest species of cat ear girl banished from the brave party - 649 Story 644. I'm sorry.

……

Mina was stunned.

She would have cut Ellis’s problem to the edge.

In fact, I have done so in the past.

However, it was possible because of the cause of defeating the Demon King as a hero party.

Small sacrifices are unavoidable for the cause.

That’s why you don’t have to take it seriously.

I don’t have to face the case.

I was able to give up my thoughts.

But right now, there’s no such thing as a cause.

Mina is a former brave party, and a traitor.

Though we think of peace between man and demon, it is for the restoration of stigma, and there is no cause.

and….

In the first place, I had not heard of the destruction of the village.

Arios said that although there was some damage, there was no problem.

That’s why I said it was a necessary sacrifice…..

“I-I-I…”

For the first time here, Mina was faced with a crime she had committed.

You can’t run away, you can’t turn away.

We have no choice but to accept our sins.

“… I’ve been given two assignments.”

And Ellis drew his sword, and thrust it upon Mina’s neck.

“to question your sincerity and, if possible, to bring you back to the church.”

“To church…?”

“The upper echelons… you still think that you are worth using.” As a matter of fact, your power is in vain. I only have the strength. ”

……

Mina’s face turned bitter as she noticed Ellis’s cynicism.

“Another task is to dispose of… disobeying the will of the Church.”

“Huh!? That’s…”

“You are needed by the Church, but you are also a troublemaker. I will dispose of it before the authority of the Church falls any longer… and Lord Arturius is considering the possibility.”

”Oh no… I… have been a servant of God to the church…”

“Cut it out, don’t stop thinking like that!!”

“Ah!?”

Mina shook her body in response to Ellis’s cry.

“That’s how I just gave up thinking and entrusted others to act… and that’s how it turns out!?” It was no longer a heroic party, but a traitorous one. Not only that, but I’ve been through tragedies like my village over and over again! Take the fact and the sin!!! If you can’t even do that… I’ll kill you. ”

Ellis put her strength into the hand holding the sword.

Slightly, the blade gnawed at Mina’s neck and blood dripped.

“Let’s report to the church that you were not obedient. I can’t use it, so I killed him, so let’s keep it that way.”

“That’s…..”

“I’m going to act arbitrarily… but it’s okay, right?” You destroyed my homeland, too. Because you took my family!!! ”

“Ah…..”

“If you don’t think about anything during this period, I will think about it and judge you.”

“I-I… I…”

Mina’s breathing became rough.

her face turned pale as if she was hyperventilating…..

While holding her chest down, she still looks at Ellis without losing consciousness.

Ellis’s anger came through.

At the same time, sadness was transmitted.

Mina has been abandoning her thoughts believing that it is right to leave everything to others….

At last, I made the choice to think for myself.

What am I supposed to do?

How do I confront Ellis?

What kind of words should I spin?

I’m trying desperately to think about it…..

But I don’t know anything.

Until now, I’ve been abandoning my thoughts.

Even if you decide to face it now, your heart won’t follow.

I can’t even follow my head.

I don’t know what to say, I just get confused when I wander around.

but…..

Even Mina, now I know what I have to do.

That’s…..

“… sorry, I didn’t…”

And Mina laid her knees on the floor, and laid her hands on her head, and spoke her words of apology.

I don’t know what to do now.

I don’t know how to respond to Ellis’s feelings.

But I only understood that I had to apologize.

I apologize if I do something bad.

It’s something that even children can understand.

“I really didn’t apologize…”

“What is it, what is it?” Is this a heartfelt apology? From my point of view, I only seem to be begging for my life. ”

“Maybe so…”

For Mina, who has been abandoning her thoughts, I don’t know if this is a word from the heart.

I can’t understand it even though it’s about me.

However, I thought I had to do this.

We can’t restore Ellis’ homeworld now.

You can’t bring your family back.

I can’t do anything.

But at least I have to apologize.

Otherwise, it would be less than an insect.

“For now… but really for now, I was wrong… I apologize.”

“… if I apologize, I want to bring my family back to life.” Are you even capable of reviving the dead? ”

“It’s possible, but… it’s impossible. It’s been too long, and due to the nature of magic, one person is the limit….”

“?… well, that’s fine.”

Ellis drew her sword and put it in a sheath.

“I won’t forgive you for the rest of my life. You will hate me forever and ever.”

“That’s right…”

“I just… would like to make a decision based on your opinion about the future.”

“Huh…?”

“It’s like I finally remembered to think for myself. You won’t repeat the same mistakes you made in the past. And it will be worth the talk. I’ve decided that.”

“…… Mr. Ellis……”

“Dispose of it or bring it back to church.” Or make a third choice. I don’t know yet… but from now on, think for yourself and take responsibility for your choices. That’s all I can say. ”

With that said, Ellis left the room behind.
