"Kyo, thank you so much for this."

"Thank you from me too."

"Don't worry about it. I did what I wanted to do."

Sin and Alicia thanked me immediately after the battle of kings.

By the proclamation of the king, Sin and Alicia officially settled in the royal palace as royalty of the kingdom, without bewildering anyone.

Initially, I was cultivating monsters to solve the country's food problems, but when I realized that I was exposed to Alicia's secrets, I became deeply involved in Sin's survival and the problems associated with the royal palace.

But I wasn't the one who solved these problems, but Sin and Alicia themselves.

I only helped him, and I cured the king's illness because I had a friend named Draghe-chan.

"But with Kyo, our sister and brother were able to meet again and live together. So... thank you so much, Kyo."

Alicia dyes her cheeks red and honestly thanks her.

Until a little while ago, it seemed like a lie, either because of a man's pretense or because he was a little cheeky, and now he smiles unconsciously at the way a girl is sometimes shown.

"Well, what about the food problem? Those who grew up in the wilderness should have grown up without a hitch."

"Yeah, that was a lot of help thanks to Kyo. Now there are many monsters in the area that have never been seen before, and most of them are very popular in the city. Especially Jack Eau Watermelon, which is now becoming a national specialty."

Well, that's good.

I unexpectedly exhaled at the answer from Alicia.

It seems that the food problem, which is also the original purpose, is also being tackled secretly.

Nevertheless, I was going to stay here for a while until the current environment of monster cultivation was completely stabilized.

Well, shall we return to our country?

It was Rostam and Zahak who murmured, and they were already ready to leave.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Rostam, Mr. Zahaq, for your cooperation with the Empire."

I bowed my head and thanked the two of them who were leaving.

In this battle of kings, these two were more active than me in a sense.

Without the information they put together and the extrapolation from it, Masauda could not be driven away.

"Never mind, Cultivator. I told you, if you help us, we'll go anywhere."

And Mr. Rostam put his hand on my shoulder with the same momentum he said it would never change again.

Hmm. These guys are so reliable.

And when I thought of that, Mr. Zahak seemed troubled with a difficult face.

"What's the matter, Mr. Zahak?

"... no, I was a little curious about this..."

"What do you care?

"... from the discovery of the fact that your Singh was still alive until the Battle of Kings..."

Suddenly Mr. Zahak called me Kyotong, but I felt the same way.

What the hell does that mean?

"... Kyo. A monster grower named you came to this country to raise Singh, and Manticore took it. From there, Sin was discovered and even rescued to join the Battle of Kings. I feel that these things were carried as if they had been set up...."

... I'm sure Mr. Zahak has a point, but isn't that too much to think about?

After rescuing Singh, Masauda immediately reacted and declared the battle of kings. After Alicia was wounded, there was the impression that the information turned quickly, but it was still a coincidence.

And when I thought that way, Mr. Zahak murmured something with a voice that no one could hear.

"... and that Manticore also told me that he heard about me from someone..."

"Eh? What is it, Mr. Zahak?

Mr. Zahak's murmuring bothered him, and he said, "... nothing."

"... it might have been too much for me. After all, this case is settled. Then you have to think of it as good...."

"Exactly. My brother has been suspicious of things for too long. All of this is a result of what they have done themselves. Then you should praise it."

In response to Rostam's words, Zahak smiled "... yes."

Bye, Cultivator. Then, my Arabic brothers and sisters, we will live happily ever after. "

Alicia and Singh smiled straight back at the Rostam's words.

"Yes!

Two replies were received, and Rostam and Zahak also smiled and disappeared.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Me....! You think you're gonna lock me up for free! Hey, are you listening?

It is a basement located away from the royal palace.

There was a room to isolate the royalty and the aristocrats.

However, there was only one use in this case, a prison reserved for the nobles.

A man appears in the prison room where such soldiers are heavily guarded.

It was a magician wrapped in black robes.

"You're a magician!

When I saw the man, Masauda, who was being held in this room, shouted.

At the same time, he regains a noble attitude as if relieved.

"I've been waiting for you. Now get me out of here. Of course, they're ready to flee the country."

Until yesterday, Masauda ordered the magician to do so, but the magician's attitude toward him was calm.

"Dear Masauda, First, thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to ascertain the strength of the monster growers who came to this country. Again, his power is real. The ability to grow monsters, it not only creates existing monsters, but also enables the creation of new ones. That means that even the destroyed monster can be grown with his power."

…… What are you talking about? "

Masauda hides her eyebrows in the words from the sorcerer's mouth.

But like ignoring Masauda, the magician talks rap like a bard.

"Above all, by the power of his movements, Prince Singh and Princess Alicia, both of whom have gained incredible growth. They worked hard to overcome it because of your handicap, and as a result, their growth made a good difference in the country. In a way, you have been instrumental in the evolution of the world. Allow me to thank you for that. No, but sister and brother love is a wonderful thing. Love for my family, I can admire it as the most beautiful shine I've ever known."

"... so what are you saying?!

Masauda finally feels limitless against the magician who talks drunk in front of her.

But the sorcerer's eyes were ruthless towards him, as Masauda herself had once pointed at many times, limiting the useless token.

"Dear Masauda, I came today for the proclamation to leave you alone. [M] Well, this is much better than a normal prison, and even if you were to spend the rest of your life, you wouldn't be so handicapped. Except I'll never see the sun again."

On the magician's line, Masauda realizes that her face turns pale and jumps out to climb to her feet.

"Wait, wait! I'll do anything! I don't want anything to happen, so get me out of here!"

"That won't be possible. You can't prepare what I want. [M] More importantly, what I want will only be grown by that monster grower."

The sorcerer disappears whispering about it.

Later, only a plea similar to Masauda's screaming echoed through the room.
