Subconsciously, he took out a drawing from the cabinet beside him and spread it out, but noticed a shadow reflected on the wall under the dim light.

After staring at the shadow for several seconds, the girl turned to look at Sid who was blocking the light, and spoke as she turned her head.

"Master, I'm a little hungry, do you have any food?"

Looking at Ita's series of reactions, Sid sighed with a slight headache.

"I brought two sandwiches. I was going to give them to Alpha, but since you're hungry, Ita, I'll give them to you first. I'll buy another sandwich for Alpha next time."

As he said that, Sid threw the paper bag in his hand towards Ita.

Ita was not polite either. He controlled the slime suit to extend its tentacles and caught the paper bag thrown by Sid in the air. He didn't care at all about what Sid said "I want to give it to Alpha". He directly tore open the paper bag, took out a sandwich from it and started chewing it.

"Ah...mmm, chew, chew."

Looking at Ita biting the sandwich with her cheeks bulging like a hamster, Sid felt a more and more headache.

The purple-haired elf in front of him was one of Sid's seven childhood sweethearts, and the only one among the seven shadows who gave Sid a headache.

He has terrible self-care ability, needs to sleep twelve hours a day, spends lavishly on experiments without considering the financial consequences, has values ​​that are different from those of ordinary people, and cannot hide his peculiarities.

It can only be said that it is a miracle that Ita can live to this day. When he was a child, he was raised by Alpha and cared for. When he grew up, he left him and was raised by Gamma and cared for by Beta.

Of course, there is a saying that goes, "When God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you." And Ita's self-destructive lifestyle is rewarded with her ridiculously high IQ.

Before his lies about the existence of the Diablo Cult were exposed by Alpha and the others, in order to maintain his status as a powerful shadow man, he played around a lot, often talking about scientific knowledge from his past life, and speaking in riddles.

It is difficult for him to associate it with any scientific knowledge when he himself does not know the answer.

And it was in this situation that Ita created a miracle. She actually made associations among his various riddles and discovered a series of scientific knowledge.

When he knew this, he really admired Ita. If someone dared to tell him this kind of riddle and asked him to guess something, he would definitely throw a nuclear bomb at the other person's face and curse at the riddle teller to stay away from him.

"Change your lifestyle, Ita. I don't want to hear that you died of overwork in Gama one day."

Although he knew it was useless to say this, Sid still said it.

When Alpha led the Seven Shadows away, what he was most worried about was Ita in front of him.

Among the seven shadows, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, and Zeta all have high IQs and can live well alone. Although Delta has a low IQ, with Delta's intuition and strength, I believe no one can deceive Delta.

The only one is Ita. She really can't do without the care of others. If she lives alone, even if no one harms her, she will probably kill herself... Although before Ita kills herself, it is very likely that Ita will create a lot of things to harm the world.

"Well, don't worry, Master. I can handle my life on my own."

"…never mind."

In response to Sid's advice, Ita nodded and said that she could take care of herself.

Seeing Ita's reaction, Sid knew that Ita still didn't listen to what he said. He wanted to say something else, but he just put his hand on Ita's head, with blue light spots emitting from his hand, and started to tidy up Ita's hair.

If it were in the past, Sid would be able to force Ita to change her daily routine without any scruples, but now what qualifications does he have to control Ita?

He is a person who pays great attention to distance. He and Ita are friends, so he can give Ita advice. And because they are friends, he can only give Ita advice.

Anyway, Ita is an elf, and his physical fitness is not weak under his training. It is wishful thinking to expect Ita to be overwhelmed by the problems of daily life. The reason why he is so worried about Ita is probably because of the mentality of an old father.

Because the owner didn't care, the slightly dry and dull hair became smooth and shiny again under the green light.

Ita didn't stop moving his mouth, but he closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed Sid's treatment.

Time passed little by little, and the two sandwiches in the paper bag had all gone into Ita's stomach. Sid's treatment was nearing the end, and the blue light on his hand gradually disappeared.

"Master, you are still good to me."

After the green light completely disappeared, Ita returned to his normal attitude, but his mechanical voice gave people a lazy feeling.

"So... Master, what are you doing here?

Could it be that Master, you have discovered some new wisdom of shadow? Or... Master, are you planning to rejoin Shadow Garden?"

Shaking his head and translating all that Ita had said in his mind, Sid spoke.

“I have lost interest in the game of defeating the Diablo Cult. This new world is so colorful and interesting. Why should I tie myself to the Diablo Cult?

I came here this time to...why are you looking at me like this, Ita, I thought you could understand?"

Noticing Ita's look, Sid stopped his improvisation and began to wonder if he had spoken in too many riddles this time, making it difficult for even Ita to translate smoothly.

"No, I just didn't expect you, Master, to admit so directly that the Diablo Cult was a game. I thought Master..."

Retracting his surprised gaze, Ita's voice showed a change of emotion for the first time.

Cid felt that he understood. Ita felt that the Diablo Cult was now like a former chuunibyou who used to think he was a user of the Dark Flame and shouted "Be consumed by the Dark Flame!" It was a dark history that must not be known by anyone and must be eliminated.

snort!

With a disdainful sneer in his heart, Sid felt that he needed to let Ita know that he was not a chuunibyou, but he had a hole in his brain.

"I have never changed (I have always been a chuunibyou), but since a person can live in a huge house, why should he stay in a room where he can't move his hands and feet (the world has merged, who still plays Diablo games), I want to do something more meaningful and interesting (I want to be a real shadow master), all of this will not change because of you, because this is my will (bye)."

After hearing this, Ita burst out laughing and could only shake his head helplessly.

"I can only say that you are worthy of being a Master, such a..."

arrogant!

But it is also because of arrogance that I will pull you down from the throne, Master. I will prove to you that I will inherit all your shadow wisdom and... surpass you.

In the second half, Ita did not say it out loud, but stared at Sid quietly, burying the word arrogant in her heart. After all, she was the one who really said it was arrogant. No, she was not qualified to say arrogant, she had to say stupid.

By the way, Lord Alpha is really pitiful. It is meaningless to be directly evaluated by the Master.

Ahhh… Why is there no recording equipment in my laboratory? Otherwise, I will record this conversation. Next time when Lord Alpha deducts my funding, I can use this recording to blackmail Gamma. If I don’t want to see Lord Alpha’s faith broken for the third time, Gamma must give me the funding.

Wait, I forgot, Alpha hasn't recovered from his second broken heart. Now Lady Gamma is in charge of the allocation of funds. Tsk, useless Alpha. We must first find a way to let Alpha cheer up and take power again.

Chapter 65: Pride and Arrogance

In the bright room, Sid was wearing a black coat and flipping through a bound volume similar to a medical record in his hand. Etta behind him was explaining something to Sid. After flipping through the bound volume, Sid thought for a moment and turned to look at Etta.

"That's all. Are you sure there's nothing else?"

"No, of course, if you don't believe what I say, Master, then you should believe the data. Data may be falsified, but it won't lie to you. According to the current report, your body is normal, without any abnormal physiological activity."

Looking at Sid who fell into deep thought after hearing what he said, Ita held his breath and tilted his head.

"Master, why do you want me to check? If you were the Master, you would be able to know the condition of your body even without using any machines."

When saying this, Ita tried his best to control himself, keeping his heartbeat at a normal level and not showing any guilt.

Ita knew that asking this question was very risky, because according to her usual personality, she would never ask this question.

All she needs to do is listen or figure out the deeper meaning of the Master's actions by herself, because this is how their Master teaches them, not by telling them everything, but by giving them hints and letting them think for themselves, so as to train their thinking ability and ability to approach problems.

This time was an exception, because Sid's asking her to come for a check-up was really a meaningless move.

As the person with the strongest control in the world, there is no need to do any inspection. As long as Sid is willing, even the movement of particles at the quark level cannot escape Sid's perception.

Even if we must use scientific machinery to examine it, why should we come to her?

If the purpose was to prevent others from knowing his special nature, Sid could just go to Mitsukoshi Hospital himself and ask anyone in Shadow Garden to print out the information for him so that he could read the report himself.

The only benefit of coming here is probably that she will explain it, but what kind of benefit is that? Will her Master not be able to understand the report?

What a joke! The person in front of her was the Master who taught her the wisdom of shadow. How could he not understand a physical report?

Perhaps because he felt guilty, Sid came over and specifically asked her to come for an examination, which made her involuntarily come up with a guess that she was unwilling to admit.

Her Master has discovered her secret, and he came here this time just to see if she has any remorse and to have some fun with her.

Yes, of course she could regard Sid's action as that he hadn't seen her for a long time and came over to check her up and reminisce about the past. Her previous speculations were all overthinking.

But she knew very well what kind of existence she was calculating against. He was one of the most intelligent people in the world, able to see the big picture from the details and constantly acquire new knowledge.

The confidence she had in plotting against Sid all came from Sid's arrogance and trust in her. Without these two, she would not have had any confidence that her plot would succeed.

Because of this, she was not surprised at all when Sid discovered her flaws and figured out her entire plan.

She had this awareness and had long been prepared for failure, but it would be better for her to die than to please others like a clown.

Anyway, if the plan is exposed, I will just be beaten up by the Master and completely lose the possibility of pulling the Master off the throne. It's no different from before.

"Um!?"

As if frightened by Ita's voice, Sid made a puzzled sound, and his gaze, which made Ita feel pressured, fell on her. Sid just stared at Ita quietly.

Ita knew that Sid might be wondering about her actions, and her only hope now was that Sid didn't know her plan and that his trust in her would outweigh his suspicion of her.

Time passed little by little. Under Sid's gaze, Ita controlled her heartbeat without using any magic. Just when she was about to collapse, Sid finally shifted his gaze back to the information in his hand.

Won.

This thought came to Ita's mind, and he suppressed the urge to relax.

Because I can't understand it.

Flipping through the documents in his hand, Sid silently responded to Ita's question.

What does this magic energy content mean? What is the reaction route of magic? And what is the reaction of spirit and flesh?

Looking at the pile of data in front of him that he couldn't understand, Sid couldn't help but feel despair, just like the despair he felt every time he made up his mind to figure out the mysteries of his own body, but ended up closing his eyes and feeling his messy, incongruous body that looked like strawberry mapo tofu.

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.

Of course, he thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it. Saying that he couldn't understand it would lower his status as a powerful shadow master, so he had to come up with a more high-sounding statement.

“Sometimes, those involved are confused but those who are not involved can see things more clearly. If you feel there is a problem but cannot find out what it is, why not ask others? Maybe a word from them can enlighten you.

It is a good thing to believe in yourself, but if you are only willing to believe in yourself, blindly deny other people's opinions, and think that you are right, it can only be called arrogance. And I... am never arrogant.

It is precisely because of this that I am the only one who will never be defeated. After all, pride and arrogance are two different concepts. "

I'd give this a 10, it's so cool.

I silently gave this sentence a score in my heart. It fully demonstrated the wisdom, humility, and pride of the Shadow Master. 10 points because the full score is only 10 points.

After hearing these words, Ita realized that she was not suspected, but her heart did not let go. Instead, it became even more anxious.

"Master, you are truly a formidable opponent."

"Ok?"

After a long silence, Ita said this with an exclamatory tone.

"I really can't imagine, if one day we have to fight you, Master, how can we defeat you?"

A powerful enemy is not scary. What is scary is that this enemy is not only stronger than you, but also better at operation, smarter than you, and more cautious than you.

"If that day comes, it must be because of you. After all, I am invincible."

In response to Ita's sigh, Sid smiled and rubbed Ita's purple hair.

You say you are not arrogant, but Master, what you say is not humble at all.

Because I am invincible, even if there is a problem with you, Master, it will be us who will be knocked down. Even if the defeated person has no problem, he will have a problem under the pressure of your strength. How... arrogant is this.

No… According to your theory, Master, you will only be proud if you are not defeated. It is only when I defeat you that you become arrogant.

Although he thought so in his heart, he showed it outwardly by pushing away Sid's hand on his head and speaking in his own voice with a hint of anger.

"Master, don't treat me like Delta!"

Chapter 66 Sid didn't think of anything

"Boom, boom, boom..."

He shook the glass bottle in his hand, causing the small pills inside to collide with the glass bottle, making a crisp sound, and Sid narrowed his eyes.

“Hoo, Master, this is the carefully crafted pill I made using the shadow wisdom you taught me. It will definitely be able to suppress your so-called distracting thoughts.

According to the results detected by the machine, as long as there is no problem with this data report, then Master, you are probably feeling common sense now, thinking that you are in the puberty stage that every teenager goes through at your age, and that your mind has affected your body, causing changes in your body.

If that were all, it would be pretty easy to deal with.

Master, you are already dissatisfied with your current state. These medicines can suppress the desires that are now occurring in your body. So as long as you suppress them temporarily, once you have passed through the puberty stage as you know it, your body should be able to get rid of this state.

The above is the conclusion I have drawn from this report and your self-report, Master."

Eta's smug voice came from the side. Although it was not the first time, Sid couldn't help but admire it.

Ita is really amazing, she can actually make something out of my random nonsense.

"I hope so."

Of course, I thought so in my heart, but in order to maintain the status of a powerful shadow master, I still had to pretend to be disdainful and skeptical on the surface.

It's hard, the fist is hard.
