"...... that

　After that, I was taken by Mr. Sachaque to a place in the desert, where Singh, who had escaped from the city, talked to the manticore, and Alisha appeared and saw the exchange between the three of them.
　There, Shin, who had escaped from the city, talked with the manticore, and then Alisha appeared, and we watched the exchange between the three of them.
　On the way, when Alisha is attacked by the manticore, she almost jumps out of the way, but is stopped by Mr. Zachary next to her.
　He seems to have a plan, and you'll have to wait and see what happens to the three of them afterwards.

　A short time later, Alisha falls as soon as the manticore disappears in front of them, only to see Shin catch it and let out a panicked scream.

!　Don't!　Drage, please!

I love you. I understand, master.

　and asked Drage, who was following along with her, to help her get closer to Shin and the others.
　Mandrage's Drage possesses the effects of Mandragora's healing potion in her tentacles.
　The poisoned needles she received from the Manticore will soon be better once she eats her tentacles.
　But nevertheless, the sequence of events just now. As I was listening to the conversation, I couldn't help but ask Sachaque, who was standing next to me.

...... Mr. Sachaque. Did you tamper with the Manticore's memory, did you do that?

"...... so.

　Mr. Sachaque nodded honestly when I asked him about it.
　When I met this man in my room earlier, he told me where Shin was going and that the manticore would be there.
　But he told me that he would not interfere with the exchange and asked me to keep an eye on it.

　At first I thought that the Manticore had taken Sin, but from the way Zachary was talking, it seemed that he hadn't, and now that he was here to see what was going on, I realized that the Manticore was acting very differently than it had been yesterday.
　If so, it's reasonable to assume that Ms. Sachaque has tampered with the Manticore's memories.
　Certainly, this might have been the best way to keep Shin with Alisha, but still, considering the manticore, erasing Shin from his memory is .......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the marketplace and what's going on in the world.

...... Kyou-dono. The tampering with your memories of the Manticore, it was not my intention to do so. It was the Manticore that asked me to do it. ......

"Huh?

　I'm momentarily taken aback by that surprising statement.
　Because to the Manticore, Shin was like a son.
　In fact, he didn't look good when he brought Shin back to the palace, declaring that if Shin didn't want him, he would bring him back.

...... He has been watching over Sin ever since he returned to the palace. ......

　As if to answer my questions, Sachaque begins to speak.

　At first, the Manticore says that, as he feared, he was worried about Shin spending his days in fear of what had happened in the palace.
　However, his thoughts changed when he saw Alisha, who was there for him the whole time.

　Her sympathetic manner is said to be just like the other half of the deceased manticore.
　She was like a mother figure to Shin, and unmistakably Shin's real sister.
　The manticore is the only one who noticed that Shin was trembling and looked somewhat relieved only when he was with Alisha.

　But then that Masoudha appeared and frightened Shin more and more, and the Manticore was convinced that Shin would come back to him as an escape route to get out of that kingdom.
　In a way, that's what the Manticore wanted.
　But after seeing how the girl called Alisha continued to treat Shin so kindly, could Shin really be happy after returning to him as an escape?
　The Manticore himself chose true happiness with his family over happiness with Shin, and even when Shin returned to him, he refused to accept it, asking Sachaque to erase Shin's memory from his mind.

　I was somewhat saddened by the decision the manticore made, and could only be silent when I heard it.

...... I'm not sure if this was the right thing to do. But at least that's what the Manticore told me. But at least that manticore said that if you have a real family and they accept you, you will find happiness there. ......

"...... may be,

　At least the manticore told me that Shin's happiness lies in that palace and in spending time with Alisha.
　It's true that Shin was frightened after coming to the palace, but still, unlike when I first met her, she hadn't given up her will to live.
　Deep down inside, seeing his sister gave him back his will to live.
　Then overcome the trauma and let those two brothers and sisters live together unnoticed.
　That's their happiness, and that's what I should do to help them.

　I asked Mr. Sachaque to get the others.
　I nodded in agreement with my request and watched Sachaque move, then I approached Shin and Alisha's group once again.
　Alisha's color has already improved after eating Drage's tentacles, and I'm relieved to see that her life is now intact.
　The same is true for Shin, who is holding her sister's hand and calling her name with a joyful expression that is somehow different from the weak and traumatized one he had before.

　I looked at the faces of my brother and sister and vowed to cooperate with them to the end for their sake.
