Manga Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Friend is the 9th manga chapter of the '''Beast Tamer manga.

Summary
As a reward for contributing to the Jet-Black Fang's defeat, Rein is promoted from Rank F to Rank E. In addition, because the content itself was comparable to a C-Rank request, Rein received a good amount of reward money, which included the money he got from his previous request to find medicinal herbs.

Rein thinks that with this money, he won't have trouble finding a place to stay and as the day starts to end, he tells Kanade that they should find a place to rest and she agrees, but her stomach also growls, suggesting that they should get some food first. After the two finish dinner, they find an inn to stay. Kanade is excited to sleep in a bed after camping outside for so long, but Rein, on the other hand, becomes extremely nervous, as he figured he would wait until a separate room would be available, not share a room with Kanade.

Rein immediately says he'll camp outside but Kanade tries to stop him, reminding him that they rented the room for a week. Rein insists though, saying that she'll feel awkward if she slept in the same room with a man. Kanade admits this to be true but she believes Rein wouldn't do anything unpleasant to her, which is why she's okay with it. Rein still tries to convince her to change her mind by pointing out that they have only recently met so she shouldn't put her trust in him so easily. To his surprise, Kanade says that she doesn't trust everyone she meets, but she feels very close to Rein, which is why she trusts him. Ultimately, Rein agrees to sleep in the same room to Kanade's joy (though she teasingly reminds him to look away when she gets undressed).
