Becoming a Shadow in the New World

Although he was in such a hurry to leave because of Michael's arrival that he didn't see what exactly sent his location to the "system," it didn't matter. He only had one or two treasures with light attributes around him, so if he didn't know which one sent the location to the "system," he could just block them all.

Currently, all these light-element treasures have been sealed with hundreds of seals, and he doesn't believe that any treasures can still send their location to the "system" under such circumstances.

After admiring his collection, Sid began to take inventory.

"This was found eighty-three days ago at 9:12 PM in the hideout of a terrorist organization in Northern Europe. It is a world-class work of art, and its abstract style is terrifying."

"The cross covered with all sorts of strange symbols was obtained in the church at 9:34 pm 109 days ago. According to Asia's confession, the enemy should be a fallen angel."

"A pure gold magic cross necklace. I got it from an old man in the back mountain eleven days ago. What was his name again? Never mind, it doesn't matter."

"The 'Fortress Garment,' a battle suit radiating holy light, was something I casually took last Tuesday night when I was erasing that old man's memories."

"besides……"

After checking them one by one to make sure nothing was missing, Sid nodded in satisfaction and casually picked up a few small treasures.

Zeta's sudden appearance caught him off guard, leaving him unprepared to set up the room. Now, having learned his lesson, he carries several treasures with him that make setting up the room much easier.

"gone."

Seeing that the sun had already risen, Sid had no time to stay any longer.

Once outside the warehouse, Sid locked the door and went to a corner. He snapped his fingers, his clothes were covered by a black coat, and with a stomp of his right foot, he soared into the air. He activated an optical invisibility barrier, avoiding sight on the road, and returned home.

"clatter!"

As he landed on the balcony, a hand slammed its fist on the ground with a crisp sound. Sid stood up, turned his head, and looked through the glass door of the balcony at Asia, who was standing in the hallway. Startled by his sudden appearance, Asia froze, and the clothes she was holding fell to the ground.

"Good morning, Asia. Up so early to hang up the laundry... sheets?"

With a snap of his fingers, Sid took off his black coat and greeted Asia.

Halfway through his conversation, Sid realized that Asia was still wearing the same pajamas she had worn the night before, and what had fallen off earlier wasn't clothing, but a bed sheet.

As Sid discovered this, Asia, who had been shocked, recovered from her shock, her face flushed, her mouth slightly open, looking like she was overwhelmed.

"Ah ah ah..."

Finally, Asia, her face flushed, screamed and ran back to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.

"?"

A little confused by Asia's actions, he hesitated for a moment before squatting down and picking up the bed sheet that Asia had dropped on the floor.

Only after picking it up did Sid notice that there was a large wet patch in the middle of the sheet.

Frowning regretfully, just as Sid was about to unfold the sheet to find out what was going on, Asia's closed door opened.

Asia rushed out of the door in a panic, snatched the sheet from Sid's hand, ran to the bathroom, turned on the washing machine, threw the sheet in, and then covered her face and ran back to the room.

"Um……"

Taking all this in, Sid narrowed his eyes; he sensed something was amiss.

Every morning when he wakes up, his sheets are completely wet and need to be washed because he activates triple magic tempering. Why are Asia's sheets wet?

Thinking about Asia's strange behavior of washing the sheets in broad daylight, recalling Asia's fleeing manner as if some dark history had been exposed, the water stains on the sheets, and the peculiar smell he vaguely caught on them...

Sid opened his eyes. He understood. There was only one truth—Asia had wet the bed.

He shrugged, shook his head helplessly, and wore a teasing smile.

"Asia is really something. So what if she wets the bed? What's there to hide? Although it is a bit embarrassing for someone her age to still wet the bed, I won't laugh at her. Pfft... okay, it is a bit funny."

With a slightly joking expression, Sid walked up to the refrigerator, intending to relax in the steaming bathtub and drink some sweet milk, in accordance with his recently cultivated hobby.

This hobby was suggested by Ita, who said that drinking the milk she brought while taking a bath would help with the absorption of its nutrients.

"what happened!"

Sid was dumbfounded as he stared at the few scattered milk bottles in the corner.

"Okay, Asia probably took it and drank it."

Pressing his brow, Sid thought of what he had told Asia last week when he went out: to drink whatever he liked, and that a bottle of milk every day was good for his health. He pursed his lips.

He wasn't exactly angry. As for the milk Ita was currently sending him, two cans a day would be enough for him to drink for a year. Not to mention that Ita kept sending people over to deliver milk, as if afraid he wouldn't have enough.

I took out the two remaining bottles from the refrigerator and opened the cabinet next door to restock.

After restocking, I closed the refrigerator door, went into the bathroom, turned on the water, and used magic to adjust it to the right temperature.

"Ah~~"

Sid immersed his entire body in the hot water, took a sip of ice-cold milk straight from the refrigerator, and let out a satisfied sound.

To be honest, Sid didn't feel the nutrients that Ita mentioned were easily absorbed, but the contrast of hot and cold was really comfortable, and he felt that all the fatigue from the night had disappeared.

And so, Sid lay in the bathtub, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility, until the water cooled down, at which point Sid got up and turned on the water.

Having learned from his previous experience, Sid got dressed before leaving the bathroom this time.

As Sid entered the living room, he saw the church's two bumbling duo packing their luggage and Asia helping them move things.

"Asia, what's going on here?"

Upon noticing Sid's appearance, Xenovia turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention. Irina, standing to the side, gave an awkward smile, unsure how to respond. However, Asia blushed and took the initiative to come closer.

"Mr. Sid, I'm very sorry, I was so rude."

"It's okay, I don't care."

Waving his hand, Sid instead comforted Asia.

"Actually, Asia, you didn't need to be so flustered just now. Although it was indeed a bit embarrassing, don't worry, I won't look at you strangely."

"Eh!"

Seemingly startled, Asia made a very cute sound.

"Mr. Sid, you...you know?"

"Ah."

Seeing Sid nod affirmatively, Asia's eyes widened in shock, her face turned pale instantly, and she hurriedly tried to explain.

"Stop, Asia, you don't need to do this. Although your situation is indeed a bit rare, it's at most... rather special. Overall, it's still a normal physiological reaction."

Seeing Asia in this state, Sid quickly tried to persuade her.

"Normal?"

"Yes, this is a normal physiological reaction. Just be more careful next time. There's no need to apologize for such a small thing."

"It's nothing, nothing at all!"

After giving Asia a knowing look, Sid walked past the stunned Asia and looked at the church's idiot duo who were cleaning up behind Asia.

Why are you looking at us?

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Xenovia asked a question.

"What are you doing?"

"Pack your things. Didn't you say yesterday that we should leave here?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Sid, we'll get it sorted out quickly and won't cause you any trouble."

After thinking for a moment, Sid looked at Irina Wisteria.

"May I ask, where do you plan to stay after you leave?"

"Hmm... well, I haven't found a place yet, so I'll just have to stay in a church for now."

There are no churches on Itogami Island.

"What!"×2

Upon hearing this news, the two people in front of him looked at Sid in shock, but quickly recovered and composed themselves.

"While saying there are none at all is a bit of an exaggeration, it's certain that all the churches remaining on the island are ruins and uninhabitable."

Upon learning the truth of the news, the two didn't say anything, but their expressions visibly fell, and they slowed down their tidying up.

So, are you still going to stay?

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Blinking in bewilderment, the one-track-minded member of the duo was the first to post.

"literal meaning."

He shrugged and replied in a nonchalant tone.
