Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

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

After being rescued from the human traffickers and sent to the Lion King Agency, she was trained in the mountains from childhood to adulthood. All she learned was how to be a magic attacker, and her understanding of modern society all came from written introductions.

In other words, all of her interpersonal relationships come from the Lion King Agency. Not only is there no one in society who can help her, but she is also unskilled in using modern mechanical items.

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

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

Now that I can be employed by Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, I don’t have to worry about what to do in the future. I can also give an explanation to the Lion King Organization without being hostile to the Lion King.

"It's really... great."

With this thought in mind, Himeragi Setsuna walked out of the school gate.

In the teaching building facing the school gate, Gama stared at Himeragi Setsuna getting farther and farther away and pulled the curtains.

"What's wrong, New, are you confused?"

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

"…Yes, Lord Gamma, I cannot fathom Lord Shadow's thoughts."

"Yes, when I first saw your report on Lord Shadow's actions, I couldn't figure out what Lord Shadow was thinking. It wasn't until I saw another report on the Lion King Agency that I understood what Lord Shadow was trying to do."

Gama picked up a document from the table and handed it to New, with a teasing look on his face.

"New, you were also a daughter of a noble before you joined us, and you also had a fiancé, so I want to ask you, what do you think about the marriage of noble children?"

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

Taking the document from Gama, New carefully opened it and answered the question cautiously.

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

With a sneer on his lips, Gama's voice gradually became louder.

"You've known this since you were a kid, Lord Gama. This is what most nobles are told when they are little..."

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

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

She pulled out another file and held it in front of her, then sat down on the table with her hips raised, a mocking smile on her face.

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

Is their justice to send their own disciples to the beds of the upper class in the name of personal bodyguards, and curry favor with the upper class to get resources from them?

Tsk, hahahaha..."

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

When New collected his emotions and calmed down, Gama also stopped laughing, but the mocking look on his face became more intense.

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

She was betrayed by her only home. 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 forces just like us.

Right now, she is just running away, using her feelings for the Lion King Agency to escape."

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

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

"I don't know."

In response to Gama's question, New knelt on one knee and lowered his head to indicate that he did not know.

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

New looked up suddenly.

"I feel honored."

Gama shook his head slightly, a hint of self-mockery appearing on his face.

"You don't need to feel honored. I should be ashamed. I am one of the people who have been exposed to Lord Shadow's wisdom for the longest time, but I still haven't understood even a little bit of it."

Chapter 50: The Divided Shadow Garden

What kind of person is Shadow?

This is a very outrageous question. If it were in the past, Gamma would never dare to even think about it, but it doesn’t matter now, because Shadow doesn’t care anyway.

Gamma thought about this question for the first time after Lord Shadow announced in front of everyone in the Abyss Forest that he would leave Shadow Garden.

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

——Quotes from Lord Shadow

We can tell what kind of person he is by his actions. What kind of actions did Lord Shadow take?

He pulled them back from the brink of death, knowing that they wanted to fight against the cult, so he gave them power and skills.

So why did Lord Shadow save them?

Because of justice, or because of pity for them?

They once thought that it was for justice, that they were doing it to save this world controlled by the cult and to save the civilians who were killed in the cult's experiments.

It's neither justice nor evil. I'm just walking the path I want to walk. I think, so I do it.

That's right, he is Lord Shadow. It's ridiculous that they actually use their own thoughts to speculate on God's thoughts.

So what exactly does Lord Shadow want to do?

She didn't understand. The logic of Lord Shadow's actions was not gray, but more like an area between black and white. She really didn't understand.

She began to get scared. She was afraid that if she really came into contact with Lord Shadow's way of thinking, she would get an answer she didn't want to know.

For example, if it happened again, would Lord Shadow give up on saving them? Even if he saved them, would he just drive them away?

Until this time, Yukina Himeragi's experience allowed her to see part of Lord Shadow's true thoughts, and made her certain that no matter how many times it happened, as long as Lord Shadow was still Lord Shadow, Lord Shadow would choose to save them.

"Lord Shadow is a very gentle person!"

With a sigh, Gama looked nostalgically at the photo of Sid and the Seven Shadows beside him.

"Nyu, do you think Himeragi Setsuna's fate is tragic?"

New was thinking on the spot, but Gama didn't give New time to think before speaking again.

"It's miserable, of course it's miserable. She is now destined to be the enemy of the Lion King Organization that raised her. Her former friends and teachers will become her enemies. Isn't that very similar to us?"

"Lord Shadow changed her and disrupted her original destiny, so why? If it wasn't for justice, why did Lord Shadow change her?"

At this point, Gama showed a confident smile on his face.

"Because, Lord Shadow hates people who play tricks on other people's fate, especially when the fooled person has light in his eyes.

The biggest mistake of the Lion King Agency was not to train a group of marriage props, but to be too arrogant. "

The black tea on the left hand side is held up by Gama.

"An organization that should not be in the open, but teaches justice, is really ridiculous. Have they fooled themselves by shouting slogans for so long?

But thanks to their teachings, the people they taught have light in their eyes, and they believe that they are fighting for justice.

It is precisely because of this that they are hated by Lord Shadow. After all, what Lord Shadow hates most is this kind of behavior of wantonly playing with other people's fate."

After saying this in one breath, Gama stood up.

"Okay, Nyu, let me ask you one last question. Do you know why I didn't tell Himeragi Yukina about our identities as Shadow?"

Faced with this question, New thought for a moment before answering.

"Because... we are not the same as her."

Gama had a relieved smile on his face.

"Yes, we are not the same kind of people. We are different from her after all."

What is the biggest difference between them and her, Setsuna Himeragi?

The biggest conflict between Himeragi Setsuna and the Lion King Agency is that the Lion King Agency talks about justice, but does things that are shady.

Very hypocritical, but also very normal.

The problem is that Setsuna Himeragi really believed what the Lion King Agency said, which caused an irreconcilable conflict between the Lion King Agency and Setsuna Himeragi.

If Setsuna Himeragi really wants to become an enemy of the Lion King Organization, the biggest reason must be the justice that the Lion King Organization taught her.

It is for this reason that Gama said that although they are very similar, they are not the same kind of people.

Because they have never been righteous. They are essentially a group of people who have been abandoned, homeless and have nothing.

What they value is only the shadow who took them in, their companions who were abandoned like themselves, and this new home, rather than justice.

Even without mentioning this identity, just talk about their identities before being abandoned. They were the eldest daughters of noble families. Isn't it ridiculous to expect them to believe in justice?

"So, as long as she still holds on to justice in her heart, she will never join us.

And if she gave up the justice in her heart, then she would be no different from the Lion King Organization.

I believe that since she is valued by Lord Shadow, she will definitely not be someone who will easily give up her bottom line."

Although the curtains were already drawn, Gamma looked out the window.

"Lord Shadow, although it's a little late, this time, I finally got your idea."

After saying this, Gama fell silent and stared blankly out the window.

Seeing this, New on the side also remained silent. Gama often did this after Lord Shadow left.

After a long moment, Gama spoke again.

"Sorry, New, I was distracted."

"It's alright, Lord Gama, is there anything else I can do for you?"

In response to New's question, Gama thought of something and wanted to ask, but stopped.

It was not until the elf beauty took a deep breath and made a determined look that her hesitant look disappeared.

"Alpha... How is Alpha now?"

As if not noticing Gama's pause, New spoke coldly.

"Lady Alpha is still training in the Abyss Forest. Her mental state is better than two months ago..."

"That's enough. It's enough to know that Alpha is okay now."

Without letting New explain the information in detail, Gamma interrupted and asked the next question.

"Tell me how the other seven Kage are doing now. The Seven Kage meeting is about to be held. How many people can come?"

This time, New did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and glanced at Gamma. He only spoke after making sure that Gamma's emotions were now relatively stable.

"Lord Zeta is currently investigating the Black Death Emperor Faction, and replied to my subordinate, asking him to inform Lord Gamma that she will still not be able to make it to the next Seven Kage meeting."

"Lady Delta, she showed up at a Mitsukoshi-owned restaurant with another group of people yesterday and had a big meal. When I and others got the news and rushed over, Lady Delta had already left and is now missing.

There were five people in the group, led by a white-haired boy, two monsters and a pair of blond haired people who looked like siblings.

"Lady Epsilon is in Netheril, with the high-ranking witches of Netheril. Omega has been sent to report on the Shadow Conference. She said that Lady Epsilon has something important to do and will not be able to arrive at the next Seven Shadows Conference. Please forgive me."

"Lord Beta is currently on a cruise ship bound for Genkami Island and will arrive there soon. However, regarding the next Seven Kage Meeting, Lord Beta said that he is currently investigating the cult and will not be able to go to the Abyss Forest to attend the Seven Kage Meeting."

"Lord Ita is still doing experiments in the laboratory in the Abyss Forest as before. He should be able to attend the Seven Kage Conference."

After revealing the Seven Shadows intelligence that had made her uneasy since she saw it, Niu kept her head down, not daring to raise it even a bit.

Niu only felt that her heart started beating faster after she finished telling the information, and the fear of the unknown spread in her heart.

In this atmosphere where every second seemed like an eternity, Gamma spoke.

"So this means that it will be just me, Alpha, and Ita, the three of us at this Seven Shadows meeting? Okay, get down, New."

The dull voice reached New's ears, without any anger, sadness, or other emotions that should have been there.

But New couldn't care less and left as if he had been pardoned. During the process of leaving, he didn't dare to raise his head to see Gamma's condition.

After closing the creaking door, New dared to look up at the door. His eyes, filled with questions about what was wrong with Gamma, seemed to be looking at Gamma through the door. He leaned against the door tightly, ready to rush in to rescue Gamma if he showed the same signs of seeking death as Alpha.

"Snapped!"

After New closed the door, the cup in Gama's hand fell to the ground with a sound.
