The reason why she invited Pochi was because Beta took the initiative to ask for it, and she didn't want to perform too badly in Sid. It didn't mean that she was willing to drag Sid into the Diablo Cult. Her Pochi was so weak that he would die if he was dragged in.

"Your Highness, Second Princess, I promise you that I will not drag Sid into our relationship, okay?"

"That's more like it. Where's the information?"

"Here, for you."

He took the briefcase from Beta and was about to flip through it, but suddenly he thought of something and looked at Beta.

"By the way, if it's possible on your end, could you help me check on Pochi?"

"Oh, why, Alexia, didn't you say you didn't want Sid to be involved?"

Beta looked at Alexia and her eyes narrowed.

"I'm a little worried that Pochi might be secretly involved with the Diablo Cult. For example, he might be threatened by others to join the Diablo Cult and work for the Diablo Cult!"

Beta was silent. His squinted eyes opened, his mouth slightly opened, and he looked at Alexia with a subtle look.

"Why do you...have such an idea?"

"I'm just a little skeptical. Why do you care so much? Just tell me if you can do it or not."

"It is definitely possible to do this, but I am a little curious now."

Hearing this, Alexia became alert.

"I'm warning you, Pochi is mine, don't move!"

"No, that's not the kind of curiosity I'm talking about... Forget it, you don't have to answer. I can't understand your train of thought."

"What do you mean? You..."

While Beta was shocked and Alexia was thinking, a dispute broke out in the cafe.

"Who is this? This is..."

"Sayaka, calm down. Calm down."

Kirasaka Sayaka was still angry about Alexia's disdain for them before she left, while Himeragi Setsuna was there to comfort her.

"Yeah, yeah, Alexia's character is indeed a bit off today."

Sid nodded and agreed with Kirasaka Sayaka.

"Associating with the good becomes good, associating with the bad becomes bad. You don't look like a good person to be friends with such a person. Xue Cai, I advise you to stay away from him..."

"I think I need to clarify that the relationship between Alexia and I is simply about throwing gold coins and picking up gold coins. We are not friends."

"Throwing gold coins and picking up gold coins? What's the relationship?" "Not friends?"

Kirasaka Sayaka and Himeragi Setsuna both focused their attention on different things at the same time.

"The relationship between throwing gold coins and picking them up is, in simple terms, similar to the relationship between throwing a stick and letting a puppy pick it up. By the way, I am the dog."

After a few seconds of silence, Kirasaka Sayaka's brain finally understood what Sid meant.

"…Is she a pervert?"

"I think it's okay. It's not a big deal anyway. Because the job pays well, I can still accept it. And in the process, she gained happiness and I gained gold coins. No one will be dissatisfied with this. Shouldn't this be a win-win situation?"

"I suddenly feel a little sympathetic towards you, what should I do?"

"I don't think I need your sympathy, because this job not only requires little work but also has a high salary and low requirements. I believe that if other people knew about this job, many people would compete with me for it, and I don't even rule out the possibility that someone would pay to do it."

"Uh... I don't think anyone would be that perverted."

"I think you need to believe in human possibilities!"

“I can’t refute that.”

"..."

"I envy your mentality. It's amazing. After chatting with you for a while, I don't hate you..."

When Kirasaka Sayaka was sighing and trying to eliminate Sid's identity as a scumbag in her mind, a burst of silly laughter was heard from the side.

"Hehehe... not friends..."

I saw Himeragi Setsuna with one hand on her chest and the other on her head, a happy smile on her face and she was muttering something.

Seeing the look on Himeragi Setsuna's face, Kirasaka Sayaka's face immediately darkened.

"Okay, I still kind of hate you after all."

Chapter 100: The Appearance of the Powerful Shadow

"Now that all the people who are getting in the way have left, I can finally prepare my backup plan of 'If Cao Cao doesn't show up, I will turn into a shadow and kill me myself.'"

Sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, Sid looked at Himeragi Setsuna with a teasing look as she was dragged away by Kirasaka Sayaka on the grounds that she didn't know the way, and looked at him with reluctance before leaving. Sid drank the remaining coffee in his cup in one gulp.

"I thought there was only one Beta, but so many people showed up at once. Women are such a hassle. I almost delayed my preview of the appearance of the Shadow Powerful One. I should still have time to post it now."

I walked to the front desk to check out, but froze when I saw the pink-haired elf standing behind the desk.

"Victoria-chan?"

"It's been a long time since we last met. I'm honored that you remember my name, Lord Shadow."

Victoria smiled excitedly, as if because Sid called her name.

She has gorgeous pink hair and a special black headdress on her head, and her beautiful face exudes a cool and holy temperament.

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

Her name was Victoria. She was a child who had been abandoned because of demonic possession and whom he had found while taking a long walk about three years ago.

"Hmm...why are you here?"

If he remembered correctly, after Victoria was cured by him, she joined Mitsukoshi Shokai and became a core employee of the company. Although this is also a store under Mitsukoshi Shokai, why would they let a core employee work as the receptionist?

"I heard that Lord Shadow often comes here, so I took the initiative to apply to Lord Gamma."

I see. When conducting a grassroots survey, we decided to choose a store that people we know often visit.

"That's fine. I want to pay the bill for my table."

Even though we are acquaintances, you still have to give the money. Talking about money will hurt feelings.

"No, Mitsukoshi Trading Company originally belonged to you, Shadow."

Gama told you that they got the inspiration from me to establish Mitsukoshi Trading Company?

"Hey, are you treating me? Thank you, Victoria-chan."

Anyway, no matter what, just consider it as you treating me.

Sid was happy that he could save some money, and he left without thinking too much about it after confirming that he really didn't have to pay.

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

She casually took off her apron, turned around and walked towards the store manager's office, and by the way, turned off the magic device that dispelled idlers.

"Snapped!"

In the Vice President's Office of Saikai Academy, Shichito Sona sat in his seat, playing chess with his retainer, Shinra Tsubaki.

The chess pieces move one by one, but the number of chess pieces on each side remains close, and it is impossible to tell who has the advantage from the surface.

But judging from the contrast between the fact that Chitori Sona was moving faster and faster in her turn and Shinra Tsubaki who was taking longer and longer to think and was becoming more and more hesitant in her moves, it was Chitori Sona who had the advantage.

Zhiqu Cangna looked at his queen who was hesitant in the face of his attack, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

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

"Cang Na?"

Naturally, Zhenluo Chunji noticed her master's sudden change in demeanor, and looked up at Zhiqu Cangna in confusion.

"I am fine."

In the face of Shinra Chunji's concern, Zhiqu Cangna just shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine and decided to continue playing chess.

Seeing what Zhiqu Cangna said, Shinra Chunji just regarded what happened just now as an accident and turned her attention back to the chessboard.

But unlike the previous situation, when Chito Cangna started playing chess again, he no longer let go slowly. In just a dozen rounds, he defeated Shinra Chunji.

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

"Not bad, it makes me want to play, are you interested in playing with me?"

At some point, a black figure appeared by the window, with his back to the sunlight, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

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

Not frightened by the sudden voice, Zhiqu Cangna touched the eyes on his nose bridge, smiled confidently and spoke calmly.

"Want to know?"

"If it's something you can't say, then forget it."

“It’s not that I can’t tell you, but I feel a little bit at a disadvantage in telling you this.

Then, if you beat me, I will tell you. "

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

"Then...if I lose, what will the price be?"

"I don't need anything. I just felt a little itchy when I saw you guys playing 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 tactfully gave up her seat.

"50!"

"?"

After sitting down, Sid said a number.

"You are Bai, you go first."

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

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

After hearing these words, the confident smile on Zhi Qucang's face froze for a moment, and he could only say one sentence.

"Mr. Shadow, that's really humorous."

After saying this, the game officially began.

Twenty rounds ago, Zhichu Cangna looked calm.

After twenty rounds, the calmness on Zhichu Cang's face disappeared.

By the 30th round, Zhichu Cangna's chess play time became longer.

In the 40th round, Zhichu Cangna's face turned pale.

In Zhiqu Cang's original vision, there was only one outcome of this chess game, which was her victory.

She could tell when Sid made his first move that what Sid said was true. It was really his first time playing chess, because his chess playing posture was even worse than that of a newbie who had just learned to play chess.

Zhiqu Cangna would not say that she is the best chess player in the world, but she also doesn't think that someone who has never played chess before can beat her.

But the fact was that the situation on the chessboard slapped her in the face, and her brain told her that she could only last a few more rounds before being checked.

You call this your first time playing chess?

You are a newbie at p.

Now that I think about it, how could someone who invited her after watching her game with Shinra Tsubaki be a newbie who has never played chess?

Shadow's casual look at the beginning was not so much about him being a newbie as it was telling her that he didn't regard her as his opponent.

Since you are not my opponent, there is no need to worry about my chess playing posture.

Thinking of this, Zhi Qucang showed a trace of helplessness on his face.
