Crowned Beast Tamer

"..."

Samael's face darkened like the bottom of a pot as he rolled his eyes at the increasingly unrestrained bad woman.

At the same time, to prevent Tamamo no Mae from pulling any tricks up front, the Ancient Serpent naturally lost his interest in sitting inside the carriage drinking tea. He rose, snatched away the reins, and casually tossed the Trash Fox back into the carriage.

Tch, treating a lady so roughly. What terrible manners.

Sent back to The Black Room, the canine grumbled while dejectedly lowering her head. Puffing up her cheeks, she lifted her cup, extended her pink tongue, and lightly lapped at the warm tea.

When Samael happened to look back and saw the way a certain Trash Fox drank, he could not help recalling the suspicious substance mixed into the water, along with her earlier claim that she had "used a special method to mark him." His hand gripping the reins froze in midair.

He vaguely remembered that canine and feline creatures tended to mark territory and prey with their own scent or urine.

Those who preferred using saliva for that sort of thing were more often rabbits...

He could now be certain that the fox at his side only wore the guise of a virtuous wife and loving mother. Her existence seemed far closer to that of a beast of calamity, and her nature was exceptionally vile.

Good thing he had not thrown this Trash Fox outside. Without restraints, who knew what trouble she might cause later.

Whatever. It was not as though he had never raised a beast of calamity before. Come on, beast taming was practically his specialty! He would give her a proper lesson later and make her deeply understand the dangers of society!

Samael turned back and continued driving in peace,
