Become a powerful person of shadow in the new world

Sid knew the gentle and holy elf in front of him.

Her name was Victoria, and she was a child he picked up while on a long walk about three years ago who was abandoned because of demonic possession.

"Um... why are you here?"

If he remembered correctly, after the child Victoria was cured by him, he joined the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce and became a core employee of the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce. Although this is also a store owned by the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, how could a core employee be at the front desk?

"My subordinate heard that Master Shadow often comes here, so he took the initiative to apply to Master Gama."

Got it, during the grassroots investigation, I decided to choose a store where acquaintances often come.

"That's okay. How much did my table spend just now? I want to pay the bill."

Even though we are acquaintances, we still have to give him what he gave me instead. Talking about money hurts my feelings.

"No, the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce was originally owned by you, the Great Shadow."

Did Gama tell you that they got inspiration from me and founded the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce?

"Hey, do you want it from me? Thank you, Victoria-chan."

In short, no matter what, just treat it as if you invited me.

Sid, who was happy because he could save some money, didn't think much about it, and left after confirming again and again that he really didn't have to pay.

After Sid left, the gentle smile on Victoria's face disappeared.

He casually pulled off his apron, turned around and walked towards the store manager's office, turning off the idler's magic dispelling device.

"Snapped!"

Inside the vice-president of Saikai Academy, Shitori Sona was sitting in her seat, playing chess with her relative Shinra Tsubaki.

The chess pieces move one by one, but the number of chess pieces on both sides is always at a close number. From the surface, it is impossible to tell who has the advantage.

But judging from the comparison between Shitori Sona playing faster and faster in his own round and Shinra Chunhime holding the chess longer and thinking, playing chess more and more hesitantly, it is Shitori Sona who has the advantage.

Shitori Sona looked at his queen's hesitant appearance in the face of his offensive, with a confident smile on her face.

But he suddenly paused, the smile on his face disappeared, he lowered his head and hid his eyes in the shadow of his glasses.

"Canna?"

The sudden change in her master's demeanor was naturally noticed by Shinra Chunji, who raised her head and looked at Shitori Sona in confusion.

"I am fine."

Faced with Shinra Tsubaki's concern, Shitori Sona just shook her head slightly, saying that she was fine and should continue playing chess.

Seeing Shitori Sona say this, Shinra Tsubaki just regarded what happened just now as an accident and returned her attention to the chessboard.

But unlike the previous situation, Shitori Sona, who started playing chess again, no longer took his time, but defeated General Shinra Tsubaki in just a dozen rounds.

As the chess game ended, Shitori Sona and Shinra Tsubaki did not stand up or start a new game, but sat quietly. It was obvious that Shinra Tsubaki sensed something was wrong with her master.

"That's right. It makes my hands itch after seeing it. Are you interested in playing with me next time?"

At some point, a black figure appeared by the window, with his back to the sun, making his face unclear.

"I feel extremely honored to be invited by the world-famous Shadow, but I am very curious as to why Lord Shadow appears here."

Not frightened by the sudden sound, Shitori Sona touched her eyes on the bridge of her nose and said calmly with a confident smile.

"Want to know?"

"If it can't be said, forget it."

“It’s not that I can’t say anything, it’s just that I feel a little bit shortchanged by telling you this.

In this way, if you win, I will tell you. "

Sid shook his shoulders and spoke in a very relaxed and casual tone.

"Then...if I lose, what price will I have to pay?"

"Nothing is needed. I just feel a little itchy watching you guys play chess. Don't you want to?"

"It's impossible."

"Then let's get started."

Shinra Chunji listened to the conversation between her master and Sid, and voluntarily gave up her position very wisely.

"50!"

"?"

After sitting down, Sid named a number.

"You are Bai, you go first."

"It seems that you are very confident, Mr. Shadow."

"No, it's my first time playing chess."

Listening to these words, the confident smile on Shitori Cang's face froze, and he could only say one sentence.

"Your Majesty Shadow, you are so humorous."

After saying this, the game officially begins.

Twenty rounds ago, Shitori Cang looked calm.

After twenty rounds, the calmness on Shitori Sona's face disappeared.

By the 30th round, Chitose Sona's time playing chess became longer.

No. 40 rounds, Shitori Sona's face turned pale.

In Shitori Sona's initial vision, there was only one outcome to this chess game, which was her victory.

She could tell when Sid made his first move. What Sid said was true. It was really his first time playing chess, because the posture of playing chess was so cute that he had just learned to play chess. Not as good as new.

Shitori Sona will not say that she is the best chess player in the world, but she also does not think that someone who has never been exposed to chess can beat her.

But the fact is that the situation on the chessboard is slapping her in the face, and her brain tells her that she will be defeated if she lasts only a few rounds at most.

You call this your first time playing chess?

You are a newbie.

Now think about it, how could he be a newbie who has never played chess before and still extend an invitation to her after watching the game between her and Shinra Chunhime.

Shadow's casual look at the beginning was not so much a newbie, but rather a way to tell her that he did not regard her as his opponent.

Since you are not your opponent, you don’t need to worry about your chess posture.

Thinking of this, Shitori Cangna showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

Strong, this is the real strong, but...

Shitori Sona lost again.

It's not that easy for me to lose.

----

can't read.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him, this was Sid's innermost thought. The only thing he knew was that he should have the advantage now...right?

"Snapped!"

Shitori Sona lost her chess piece. She lifted up a chess piece that he didn't recognize and placed it in a position that he didn't know what purpose it had.

"the world!"

Time came to a standstill again.

In this stopped world, Sid pulled out a mirror.

Sid wasn't lying. Not counting the soldier piece Rias gave him, this was indeed his first time contacting chess.

But it doesn't matter, he believes that with his talent and hard work, he will be able to break out the protagonist's halo and defeat Shitori Sona.

Divination, start!

Um...are you already a general?It would be great.

After the time stop was lifted, Sid followed the steps just divined to checkmate Sona.

"I lost."

Knowing that he had lost, Shitori Sona was not too depressed, but instead showed a relieved smile.

"No, you didn't lose."

"?"

Shitori Sona expressed confusion about what Sid said.

"This is the 45th round. Rounding off, I think you half win."

As soon as these words came out, Shitori Sona's eyes trembled. Only now did she understand what the number Sid said at the beginning meant. The condition for her victory was not to win, but to last until the end of the round.

So, had she been under his control from the beginning?

After thinking about it, I felt angry again.

Humiliation, this is humiliation to her.

"Then... I wonder if I'm half-winner. Can Sir Shadow tell me the purpose of this trip?"

Even though she was angry because of Sid's words just now, Shitori Sona suppressed her anger and wanted to know Sid's intention.

"Because I'm half-win, I can only tell half of it. I came here this time at the invitation of someone to watch the so-called 'battle between the strongest'."

Leaving behind a meaningful smile, Sid turned into bursts of black mist and disappeared, leaving only Shitori Sona and Shinra Tsubaki who were sitting quietly beside them.

"Your Highnesses, have you heard this? Do you plan to cancel Rias's ranking game? Recently, the only thing that meets the shadows is the battle between Rias and Lysa."

After Sid left, Shitori Sona took out a necklace, and the pendant in the middle of the necklace projected a projection screen.

There are three men and a woman in the picture. Two of the men are working together to suppress the woman, and the other man is looking at Shitori Sona from the front of the picture.

"Sona, you know your sister will lose her mind whenever something happens to her."
