"Okay, Giles, you're right. I was thoughtless."
Seeing Giles stroke the Metal-feathered Eagle's head and say that the decision should lie with it instead, Hash nodded approvingly at Giles.
From the Metal-feathered Eagle's tame reaction, it was obvious that Giles was not being hypocritical.
He sincerely treated the Metal-feathered Eagle as a friend who had grown up with him.
Like her, he clearly thought that spirit beasts should be individuals who could think independently and not tools that Beast Tamers could deal with as they pleased.
However, Hash, who was looking at Giles, did not notice that what she had said previously had already caused a stir among the Beast Tamers in the square.
"Guys, guess what I just heard? Giles' bird-type spirit beast actually hasn't broken through to the Gold rank yet!"
"I heard it too! Also, I heard Her Excellency Hash telling Giles not to worry. She will strengthen something."
