Become a powerful person of shadow in the new world

She would rather die if she were to become Akatsuki Castle's blood partner as arranged by the Lion King organization.

As for resistance?

No matter how she resisted, the Lion King Agency only taught her how to become a magician, but did not teach her anything else.

"Ugh!"

Thinking of this, Ji Hiiragi Xuena sighed again. A lot of troubles made her want to lie on her senior's back and feel the warmth like a mother like yesterday. At least she didn't have to think so much or go to her senior. Talk about your troubles and see if your seniors have any solutions.

"No, no, no, wake up, wake up, Ji Hiiragi Xuena, you can't bring your problems to senior. Senior is a good person, but you can't think of him whenever something happens."

Patting her cheek to clear her chaotic thoughts, Ji Hiiragi Yukina sighed again when she thought of her predicament.

"Dong dong dong."

The sound of hands tapping on the table attracted Ji Hiiragi Xuena's attention. Following that hand, Ji Hiiragi Xuena saw a smiling elf.

Chapter 49 Understanding the Shadow

"Thank you, thank you very much."

"Don't be so excited. With your strength, this treatment is more than enough."

Looking at the contract she just signed in front of her, Ji Hiiragi Xuena still feels like she is dreaming.

She was still worried about how to deal with the Lion King's mechanism, but then an elf came and brought her here and gave her a part-time job as a magician. The conditions were very relaxed, even ridiculously so.

Looking at the black-haired beauty sipping black tea in front of her, Ji Hiiragi Xuena bit her lip gently with her silver teeth. Although she was afraid of losing this job, she still asked the doubts in her heart.

"That... President Gama, I, I want to know why you asked me to sign this contract. You should also know my identity."

She knew the identity of the black-haired woman in front of her. She was the president of the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce. According to senior Sid's introduction, some people in the school already knew her identity, and the person in front of her was definitely one of them.

The Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce from another world, after the integration of the world, used the banner of the world battlefield to fight price wars. It has a tendency to use this banner to maintain its original position in the world, and even further become a business giant in the new world. .

It has a good relationship with Netheril and was the first force to take sides when Netheril was first established. It may also be because of this reason that although the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce is not as afraid of chaos as Netheril, it is always spreading fire. , but also vaguely has the attribute of taking pleasure in others' misfortunes.

These were all introduced in the limited information given to her by the Lion King Agency, especially the one in front of her.

Thinking of the information given to her by the Lion King Agency, Ji Hiiragi Xuena's eyes twitched. She knew that it was not the right time to think about this, but she still couldn't help but want to complain. She grew up in the mountains, but that didn't mean she was stupid.

She was given all the information on the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce president who was obviously unrelated to the Fourth True Ancestor, but they refused to give her the information on the Fourth True Ancestor. Did the Lion King Agency really think she was stupid?

"Well...why should I help you?"

As if being asked this question, Gama put down the black tea in his hand and put a finger on his chin to think quietly.

"Ah, if it's inconvenient, don't bother President Gama to answer me. I'm very grateful to President Gama for accepting it."

Noticing Gama's embarrassed look, Ji Hiiragi Xuena quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere on the court.

"Haha, there is nothing difficult to answer. The reason why I helped you is probably because we are very similar and we were both saved by the same person."

"Saved by the same person?"

Ji Hiiragi Xuena tilted her head, not quite understanding what Gama meant.

Gama noticed Ji Hiiragi's doubts and took another sip of black tea. A look of memories appeared in his eyes, and an expression of longing and nostalgia appeared on his face. He spoke in a gentle tone.

"Yes, we were all saved by the same man. He was a man who would bring hope to others as long as he stood there.

I believe it will be the same this time, he may or may not know the dilemma you are facing, but as soon as he sees you, he will see your troubles.

I just helped him solve it in advance before he saw you. "

"who's that person?"

Ji Hiiragi Xuena was thinking of someone, but...this is impossible.

"You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"

Gama smiled lightly.

"Okay, you will be a member of my faction in school from now on. With the character of the forces behind you, they should agree... no, let you join, unless you really want to be their enemy.

Of course, I don't mean to force you. I hate this. If you want to regret it after graduation, you can. You have read this contract and I did not leave any restrictions on it.

I hope that by the next time we talk, you have found the meaning of your existence. Goodbye. "

After leaving these words, the black-haired elf stood up and left the room with the others standing beside him, leaving Ji Hiiragi Yukina alone in a daze.

"What exactly did she mean? Is the person she was talking about... really a senior?"

Putting the contract into her backpack and thinking about the conversation just now, Ji Hiiragi Xuena began to wonder if she was overthinking it.

"No matter, that's all. As long as they don't plan to do anything illegal or attack the Lion King organization, I can do whatever they want."

I took out the contract and read it again. This contract was too simple even from Ji Hiiragi Xuena's perspective.

He will unconditionally provide enough funds for her life until she reaches adulthood. All she has to pay is that she sometimes has to serve as the security guard of the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, and has the right to refuse for any reason.

After she reaches adulthood, she can choose to renew or reject this contract. If she chooses to refuse, the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce will help her apply for a magic attack master qualification certificate or provide a letter of introduction for other jobs, and will also give her a permanent Netheril magic usage qualification. certificate.

As long as the person signing the contract is willing to give away money, there is actually a boss who dares to open it.

Even if someone really dares to open it, does anyone dare to sign it?

But Himiragi Yukina doesn't care about this anymore. For her, a magic attacker who came from the Lion King Agency, theoretically she shouldn't think about "how to survive if she leaves the Lion King Agency."

But for her who already knew the purpose of the Lion King Agency sending her to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor, and had no intention of obeying the Lion King Agency's arrangements, even if she didn't want to think about it, the thought of leaving the Lion King Agency would still come to her mind. idea?

But only when you really think about it will you realize how naive her idea of ​​leaving the Lion King Agency was.

She was an orphan, and her parents sold her when she was a child.

After being rescued from human traffickers and sent to the Lion King Agency, she has been trained in the mountains since she was a child. All she learned was how to be a magician, and all her understanding of modern society came from written introductions.

In other words, all her interpersonal relationships come from the Lion King Agency. Not only does she not have anyone in society who can help her, but she is also not familiar with modern mechanical items.

She has skills taught by the Lion King Agency, but what's the use? If she leaves the Lion King Agency, her magic attack master's license will be revoked. Without a magic attack master's license, using spiritual power to hurt others is a felony.

The Anti-Magic Agency may not be able to control other forces, but it can definitely control her after she is separated from the Lion King Agency.

Now that I can be hired by the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, I don't need to worry about what to do in the future, and I can give an explanation to the Lion King organization without being hostile to the Lion King.

"It's really... great."

With this thought in mind, Ji Hiiragi Xuena walked out of the school gate.

In the teaching building facing the school gate, Gama stared at Ji Hiiragi Xuena further and further away, and closed the curtains.

"What's the matter, Nyu, are you confused?"

Gama asked after noticing the confused brown-haired human girl standing next to her.

"...Yes, Master Gama, I can't figure out what Master Shadow is thinking."

"Yeah, when I first saw the action process of Master Shadow reported by you, I couldn't figure out what Master Shadow was thinking. It wasn't until I saw another report about the Lion King Agency that I understood What does Lord Shadow want to do?”

Picking up a document from the table and handing it to New, Gama had a teasing look on his face.

"New, you were also the daughter of a nobleman before joining us, and you also had a fiancé, so I want to ask you, what do you think about marriages between nobles raising children?"

"Of course, their aristocratic status gives them a superior life, so it is natural for them to marry for the benefit of the family when they grow up, even if they don't like that person."

Taking the document in Gama's hand, New opened it carefully while answering the question cautiously.

"So, when did you learn this truth, New?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Gama's voice gradually became louder.

"I have known this since childhood, Lord Gama. This is what most nobles will be told when they are young..."

Niu's cold voice stopped suddenly, the hand holding the document trembled, his expression was dull, and the pupils in his eyes trembled.

"Yes, most nobles will be told this truth when they are young to prevent their children from rejecting marriage when they grow up, but what about this Lion King mechanism..."

He pulled out another document and raised it in front of him, then sat on the table with his straight hips, a sarcastic smile on his face.

"They actually teach their disciples justice. A shady organization whose business is human trafficking actually teaches its disciples justice. It really makes me laugh to death.

Is their justice just to send their disciples to the upper echelons' beds in the name of personal bodyguards to please the upper echelons to get resources from them?

Tsk, hahaha..."

Gama was sneering, and Nyuze in front of her remained silent, reading the document over and over again.

When Niu put away his emotions and calmed down, Gama also stopped laughing, but the sarcastic look on his face became more intense.

"New, that's why I said that we are quite similar to her. We originally had a bright future, but we were abandoned by our families because of the cult's experiments, and were exiled and hunted by our own country.

She was betrayed by her only destination. The justice she had been taught since childhood was just a tool to raise her relatives. When she realized this fact, she had actually been abandoned by her own power just like us. .

Now she is just escaping, using her feelings for the Lion King's mechanism to escape. "

After saying this, Gama looked up at Nyu, who was still silent, and asked calmly.

"New, do you know why I'm telling you this?"

"Subordinates don't know."

Faced with Gama's question, Newze knelt down on one knee and lowered his head to express his ignorance.

"You are the number holder of Shadow Garden. Although I don't know whether Lord Shadow will come back in the future, I have an obligation to let you know Lord Shadow better."

New looked up suddenly.

"I feel honored."

Gama shook his head slightly, a trace of self-mockery appeared on his face.

"I don't need to feel honored, but I want to feel ashamed. I am obviously one of the people who has been exposed to Lord Shadow's wisdom for the longest time, but I still haven't understood one or two of it."

Chapter 50 The Divided Shadow Garden

What kind of person is Shadow?

This is a very unethical question. Gamma would never have dared to think about it before, but it doesn't matter now. Shadow doesn't care anyway.

After Lord Shadow announced in front of everyone in the Abyss Forest that he was leaving the Shadow Garden, Gama thought about this issue for the first time.

How a person is is not determined by what he says, but by what he does.
