"This is Shin-sama. What can I do for the royal palace?"

Now me and Alicia came before the royal palace, where only the royal family was allowed to live.

The time is already in the evening. At this time of year, there were several gatekeepers standing to escort the gate.

"... now it's Alicia, not Singh."

The gatekeepers were slightly surprised to tell Alicia without hiding her name and identity, but there was little upset that she had already heard about it from around Massauda.

Actually...

The gatekeepers were surprised by Alicia's content when she immediately told her about the incident.

I had a slight suspicion in my eyes when I stood next to him.

"... that's why I was wondering if you could let me through. If it succeeds, he says, many of the problems in our country today will lead to solutions."

"That's... yes, but..."

I am the gatekeeper with a slight concern, but I declare that I cannot pull here.

"... he is an unfamiliar person who cultivates monsters. There is no guarantee that the method he says will succeed. If he's malicious, he might not be able to get it back."

The tone of the gatekeeper who declared that was natural was suspicious of me, but he was afraid of the damage that would return to Alicia afterwards.

If I fail to try anything from now on, Alicia will certainly be responsible.

This gatekeeper was worried about the danger to Alicia.

"... thank you, Osman. But don't worry. He can trust Kew."

But Alicia, who stood next to me, trusted me without hesitation and said her name.

"Kyo has been encouraging us to cultivate monsters to solve our food problems ever since we came to this country. Even a common monster, the desert, is difficult to cultivate here, but he has produced many monsters. Thanks to him, the food problems caused by the lack of monsters in this country are being solved. Above all, he found my brother Singh and delivered him safely. I believe in what he did."

What I have been doing since I came to this country may have been the usual thing for me.

Grow and cultivate monsters.

But still, Alicia says it's special in this world, and she tells the soldiers in front of her to show her gratitude to me.

"So I want you to believe me. The monster he cultivated will save us."

The gatekeepers look at each other in that undisputed declaration from Alicia.

Eventually, they nod to each other as if they had decided something, quietly pave the way, and open the door of the royal palace.

"... please hurry. I think we still have a chance."

Thank you, Osman.

Thank the gatekeeper and enter the palace, Alicia.

Now, here's the problem. If this works, things will certainly change.

I think so, I enter the royal palace with a monster behind me.

Kyo-sama!

Kyo, where have you been?

"Oh, Lily and Fitness."

Having successfully accomplished my purpose at the Royal Palace, I returned with Alicia to the House of Discharge, where Lily and Phytis were waiting for their return.

Papa ~!

"Whoa, did Locke wait for you?"

As soon as I came back, the lock that was lying at Lily's feet jumped in, and Lily asked as if she had told me to do it.

"So where the hell have you been so late?

"Well, a little. I went to the royal palace."

"Royal Palace? So you went to see him about the Massauda Kings?

Lily and Phytis had already heard rumors of the King's War between Alicia and Massauda.

But I shake my neck against it.

"No, not that way. I need to see someone else."

"? What does that mean?

Lily and Fitis had a question mark in my rhetoric, but before giving the answer, the door of the separation was opened, and the servants who were in a hurry ran toward Alicia.

"Dear Alicia! Are you here! Okay, it's tough!

"What's going on?

Ask Alicia if she had any unpleasant feelings about the servant's panic, or if she had a slight cold sweat.

The answer from there was not only Alicia, but all of us who were here were stunned.

"Shin-sama... my brother Shin-sama is missing!

"Ha?!

Alicia loses her word to the servant.

However, he ran away from the scene in a hurry.

"Hey, hey! Alicia!"

Without listening to me stop, Alicia walked away from the palace.

It didn't look like it was an idea, but rather it looked like a rush.

"He's... completely upset...!

"But that's also true. My brother, who I always thought was dead, came back. It's only natural for my sister to be confused when she's gone again."

That being said, Lily and Fitness quickly equip themselves, saying that they can't overlook it.

"... we'll look for them together. Kew's in danger, so can we ask you to explore the outer courtyard?

"Oh, that's what I'm gonna do without you telling me."

Whether that's my partner or not, I nodded immediately to Lily who said what I was about to say.

Sin, of course, but I can't let Alicia go alone.

If you suck, you may go looking for it outside the city.

Even Alicia is one of the brave. Often you don't get in danger, but you still have no choice but not to help in this situation.

It is possible that Sin may be hiding somewhere inside the detached house.

Me and Lily nodded to each other.

Leaving the search for Sin Alicia outside to Lily, Fitness, and Jack, I decided to search the isolation with Rock, Dora-chan, and Dora-chan.

So when I was searching some rooms...

"... are you here?"

Master, he's not here either.

"I'm not hiding in this pot either. After all, he ran away after all.

I listened to Draghe-chan's report and thought about Draghe-chan's words.

Sure. I don't want to think about it, but it's highly probable that Singh escaped.

Originally, Sin had a trauma in that room where he lived as a family, rather than this separation...

Then it may be natural to try to escape from that fear.

Besides, he had a monster who had taken his place.

It is therefore highly probable that Singh will return to that manticore.

Most likely, that Manticore took Singh.

Had that been the case, she would have already hidden in the desert with Manticore...

"... Master Kyo..."

"Heh? Wow!!

I was surprised by the sudden call from behind.

Turning around, there was a man standing there as if to melt into the darkness of the night.

"Wow, what a guy. A ghost?

The ghostly dragee next to me suddenly murmured.

Sure, I was surprised at the atmosphere.

But when I looked closely, I realized that it was someone I knew.

"Mr. Zahak?

"... that's right. Never a ghost....."

I murmured to ask for correction if you hurt Draghe-chan's words earlier.

In contrast, did you think Draghe-chan was sorry too? "Ah, I'm sorry," she apologized in the usual way.

"... more than that, Master Kyo. I want to tell you something....."

"Ah? What is it?

To be honest, the search for Singh was a top priority right now, but I wonder if it is pertinent for Mr. Zahak to bother calling me here, and I urge him to do so first.

And I once again shouted with surprise at Mr. Zahak's story from there.
