"That's what happened... then we have to hurry up and search!

"Of course. That's why I'm gathering my men to form a search party. If you wait a little longer, we can leave."

After receiving the explanation, Lily spoke in haste, but listened to the response from Singh and regained a little calm.

It is true that in front of the palace, many soldiers appear to be preparing in haste.

Some of them were Jack, Phytis, and Rock, and Lily approached them in a hurry.

"Fitness, Jack, Rock!

"Miss Lily!

Lily

Lily!

Each of the three shouted at Lily as she approached, and she hugged Lily with tears as if she was worried about Kyo's disappearance when she reached the lock.

"Daddy... Daddy..."

"All right, all right, Rock. I'll make sure you find the goose."

Lily stroked her head to calm down Locke, who was about to cry.

Eventually, I will make a declaration looking back at Singh.

"The search party, Atashi, will go with us."

"Of course. Rather, I'd like you to do it. We must find Kyo-san together."

Sin took Lily's request straight.

Lily had the impression that something had changed with the old Singh.

Eventually, the search party is ready, and Sin announces publicly that he has received the news.

"Alright, now we're going to search for the monster grower Kyo, who has been exposed to manticore in the desert. Everybody out!

As soon as I tried to leave the palace, a voice appeared behind the search party.

Wait a minute.

It was an astonishingly cold, emotionless voice on the spot, a voice that resonated silently but to everyone on the spot.

Turning around, there was a man named Masauda, Sin's brother, a young man with brown skin dressed in luxurious costumes.

I won't allow you to send out that search party.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Nh...! Leave me....!

Captured by Manticore, I enjoyed flying for hours without being able to move. That said, it wasn't very enjoyable.

After a while, he finally enters a cave that he thinks is his destination and releases himself to the back.

Looking around, it was a space surrounded by rocks, and it was bigger than expected.

Especially the ceiling had a height of more than a few meters, and the light leaking from the cracks in the rock was overflowing everywhere.

After looking around, there was only a passage leading to the back and the entrance that just came in.

Of course, the entrance is blocked by the manticore and cannot escape.

"... hey, is there anything you need from me since you brought me here? Or are you going to eat me here?

I wonder what happened and talk to the manticore in front of me. And then...

"- You're a cooler man than I thought. I thought people like you would rush at times like this."

Yaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

I didn't think so, I shouted a line like I said somewhere in my brain.

But I had some expectations of Manticore's response, so it wasn't really surprising.

I thought there was a possibility that I could talk more than my face was human.

Contrary to expectations, the tone was more fluent than expected.

"... no, I don't think so. I've never been exposed to monsters before, and I honestly feel my own danger. But, well, I've been through a lot so far, so I guess I've got some nerve."

Beginning with the first killer plant, I think, I confront people with various heroic titles.

Confrontation with the demon kings' mothers.

Moreover, thanks to the literal duel with the Emperor's brave man, my spirit may have been able to do something like this.

Above all, I had one conviction.

Thanks to growing monsters and seeing them.

Now we know if the monster is dangerous or hostile.

The monster in front of me is certainly a dangerous monster.

As it shows, at that time, Singh said the danger of manticore was A.

It is the strongest rank among the monsters I grew up with the exception of Hydra.

It must be strong enough to kill me instantly.

However, on the other hand, this monster did not feel hostile.

The moment I was attacked, I felt terrified, but instead of attacking me, I caught him and took him to this place.

And there's still no sign of this guy standing in front of me.

That's why I'm still calmly talking to him and putting these ideas together.

"So, what's the purpose of taking me? I don't think we're gonna do this without a purpose."

In response to the question from me, Manticore thought for a while and eventually approached me.

Though Dora-chan held her fist unintentionally and took a fighting-position with her in her pocket, she walked barely through us and went into the back passage.

Eventually, he turned around and muttered, "Follow me."

"... what do you want, master? Dora in her pocket asked me, but the answer was already in my mind.

"Follow me."

"Yeah, but isn't it dangerous? Besides, now you can escape the exit....."

"No, the poison needle on the tail will just come this way. Don't worry, Dora. I have an idea."

Dora nodded to me with a worrying look on her face.

I can't prove it at the moment, but I guess this is something I can't do without.

It's an intuitive part, but now I believe it and act on it should lead to my own safety.

I think so, I quietly follow the manticore walking in front.

Eventually, after walking for a while, you'll go out into a wider space than ever before.

I saw someone lying in the center of the space in a bed like a wala.

"... that's her."

As soon as I checked, the leading Manticore looked back.

"Please... cure her."

Manticore's murmured expression seemed to worry about something more than ever.

I knew from a distance that it was not a monster, but a human being.

Unexpectedly, I ask Manticore.

Who the hell is she?

Manticore answered the question after a while of silence.

"... it's my child."

Speak only one word and be silent again.

But one word was enough for me.

The Manticore now in front of me was not an A rank and a feared monster, but rather a father worried about his son.

I approach that person to be prompted by such a manticore attitude.

But as I approached the child, I took a breath of surprise.

Because it was a human boy who fell there, but the boy's face was two melons to someone I knew.

Dora, who was in her pocket to express such a surprise to me, looked at the person's face and murmured.

"Lie... is this, Mr. Singh...?

Yes, there was the boy with the two faces of genius Singh and Melon that I knew.
