Manga Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Meanwhile, at that Time is the 7th manga chapter of the '''Beast Tamer manga.

Summary
Elsewhere, the merchant's escorts, which were Leanne and Mina of the Hero's Party, had finally escaped from the Jet-Black Fang. As they catch their breath, they reminisce how they got into this situation. Apparently the Hero's Party is planning on tackling the "Illusion Forest" and they took the job of escort to make some more money. They also hired an adventurer to serve as their vanguard as the two specialize as rearguards, which makes it impossible for them to fight oncoming battles. However, the two didn't think they would fail the job.

Leanne chews out the adventurer for running away before them. The man reminds her that he stated that Beast Tamers are bad for combat, causing Leanne to remember that while Rein didn't have combat skills, he still tried to fight alongside them on the frontlines, which put him a level ahead of this person in her mind. Mina asks the man why he didn't investigate the perimeter but he retorts that he has a squirrel on lookout, but he can't cover a wider area with only one animal. Leanne asks why he didn't just tame more than one, but the man simply says that such a feat is impossible, leaving Leanne and Mina shocked by this revelation as Rein could do more. However, Leanne then accuses the man of lying to them about his abilities and threatens him with blaming their failure on him, causing him to run off. As the two leave, Leanne and Mina refuse to believe that Rein, who they see as incompetent, could actually be outside the norm.

Speaking of Rein, he makes his way into the base and sees the bandits all paralyzed. Kanade arrives with several adventurers who start tying up the bandits. Rein thanks Kanade for her help and pets her again, but she says she was glad to be of help to him. Just then, everyone hears a loud noise.
