Becoming a Shadow in the New World

After excitedly shouting those words, Sid opened the window and pointed to the peaceful scenery outside.

"Come on, uncle, I can tell you're a fan of classic demon chuunibyou, so I'll use demons as an example for you."

"Uh……"

Ignoring Li Zevim's strange expression, Sid was completely high, and the act of preaching to others gave him a tingling, exhilarating feeling.

"If a real demon saw this scene, what would that demon think? Answer me, old man."

"Of course it's destruction! A true demon can't stand seeing others happy."

"Wrong answer, old man. A real demon would think about whether he was ruthless enough, that there were still people laughing, and then think about how to destroy the world. That's a demon, do you understand, old man?"

"Oh... um, but that's impossible. The other pantheons will intervene."

Li Zevim felt like he was acting strangely; he actually thought this idea was so damn right, that he should really think that way.

But he still managed to maintain his last shred of rationality and refute them.

With his power, he could destroy the world in a short time. The problem is that other pantheons wouldn't stand by and watch him destroy the world.

"Then let's destroy all those pantheons as well."

"Can…"

"bump!!!"

"Uncle!"

Li Zevim, who was about to continue arguing, was interrupted by the sound of Sid slamming his hand on the table.

"Thinking about what will happen if you do this, and what the price will be, is something only smart people think about."

For those of us with genuine chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), we just need to get through it all. After all, if we're not afraid of death, we shouldn't worry about anything else.

"Oh, oh, oh, Uncle, I'm all fired up!"

No joke, after hearing Sid's words, Li Zevim felt his blood boiling and his whole body burning with excitement.

"That's right, uncle, remember that."

As long as you keep pursuing your dreams, one dream after another will emerge, because human ambition has no limits.

"That's so right, that's so right!"

He clapped his hands forcefully, and the last shred of his reason evaporated.

Li Zevim now wants to go back and revise the plan. Under Sid's persuasion, he has completely forgotten about the idea of ​​leading a large army to participate in the world battlefield and counterattacking the other world.

“Brother Sid, come to me. Once you come, you’ll be my strategist, and I’ll give you my queen’s throne… Uncle forgot, Uncle has no pawns.”

Li Zevim had the idea of ​​poaching his friend. Such a friend who understood him was a treasure bestowed upon him by God. Although his strength was a bit lacking, it wasn't a big problem. He had a lot of ways to improve his strength.

When she wanted to give the queen position of her demon piece to Sid, she remembered that she had never used the new era demon piece because she had always looked down on the actions of the new era demon.

"Uncle, I already have a chess piece, it belongs to the Gremory family, so I can only be a member of the Gremory family now, so don't even think about it."

Although it won't be like that in three days at most.

She didn't voice her thoughts, but despite it being their first meeting, she skillfully shifted the blame onto Rias.

He wasn't worried that this older man would try to poach Rias's services. Without any demon pieces, he was at most a mid-level demon, which was equivalent to a B-rank.

He looks to be almost forty years old, but he still has the strength of a B-rank. The possibility of him exchanging pieces with Rias is almost zero.

"The Gremory family's little princess? Humph!"

Muttering these words to himself, Li Zeweim narrowed his eyes and let out a cold laugh.

Seeing his newly met drinking buddy like this, Sid blinked, about to ask a question, when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"I told you not to drink so much. Look at you, you're drunk again."

"I'm not drunk. I was already toasting that old geezer Odin before I became a teacher. I just remembered..."

Because of the familiar voice, Sid instinctively peeked over, and coincidentally, the person on the other side also looked over.

"Gulu!"

Chapter 52 Delta as a Child

Feeling the gazes of the two people opposite him, his feigned drunkenness vanished instantly. Sid blinked and spoke to Li Zevim without turning his head.

"Um, Uncle Li Zeweim, I might have something to do here, so I'll have to talk to you later."

After saying that, she forced a smile and stared at Roseweiser and Nangong Nayue with astonished looks. Although they were not far apart, it gave the impression that they were looking at each other.

"Brother Sid, you seem to be in a bit of trouble. Do you need my help?"

Li Zevim, seemingly oblivious to the atmosphere, put a hand on Sid's shoulder and pointed at the two of them with a grin, saying to Sid.

"No need, uncle."

Nangong Nayue had already realized what was happening. She closed her fan and gestured for Sid to come over.

Having grasped Nangong Nayue's meaning, Sid could only grit his teeth and slowly walk over. Just as he took a step, he seemed to suddenly remember something, took something out of his pocket and put it on the table.

"Uncle, this meal is on you."

When Li Zevim picked up the thing that Sid had put on the table, he realized it was a free coupon, which expired today.

Li Zevim blinked. If he wasn't mistaken, Sid seemed to have several coupons in his pocket when Sid took them out.

He glanced at Sid again, realizing he wouldn't be able to come back and drink and chat with him. Sid's words had sobered him up, leaving him completely sober. Besides, he wanted to go back and revise his plans, so he had no interest in staying there and got up to leave.

Sid is now a bit troubled. A student drinking is a minor role, but it's not something that can be done openly. Why is Natsuki-chan here?

Moreover, there's a possibility that his parents will be summoned for questioning afterward. His sister is currently on this island, and there's a high probability that she'll use this as an excuse to make trouble. I'm not afraid of that, but it just feels like a lot of trouble.

After some thought, as he was about to reach Nangong Nayue, Sid made up his mind.

Impatient with Sid's slow pace, Nangong Nayue stopped waving her fan.

The water droplets from a customer pouring wine froze, hanging in mid-air.

The mischievous children who were running around in the corridor were now frozen in a position that defied the laws of physics.

Time has stopped.

In the very next second after time stopped, a stream of water appeared out of nowhere, passing through Sid's clothes without touching his body at all; the moisture inside his clothes was firmly locked in.

A second later, wisps of white mist rose up as the moisture evaporated.

Once the series of actions were completed, time began to flow again.

"Not bad, Sid, you've really got guts, coming here to drink at such a young age..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence. Nangong Nayue frowned and looked at Sid suspiciously.

"You...didn't drink?"

"Of course, Ms. Nazuki."

With his eyes narrowed, Sid maintained a smile and spoke the words in a firm tone.

Pressing the drunk Roseweather, who could barely stand, into the chair, Nangong Nayue jumped down, her feet, which had been a distance off the ground due to her height, landing on the ground.

Nangong Nayue walked up to Sid and circled around him. After circling him, she couldn't smell any obvious alcohol. The doubt in her eyes didn't dissipate; instead, it intensified.

Nangong Nayue was puzzled. She had seen it clearly just now. Sid had definitely been drinking. There were still places on his body that were wet with alcohol and were noticeably darker in color than other parts of his body.

But now, Sid stood in front of her, and not only did he not smell of alcohol, but the part of his body that had been damp with alcohol in her sight also appeared dry.

She... misread it just now.

She considered this possibility, but it didn't make sense.

She hadn't been drinking, and at this distance, the chances of her making a mistake while she was fully conscious were virtually zero.

No, what exactly does Tsuki-chan want to do?

Looking at Nangong Nayue circling around him, Sid thought to himself, "I'm complaining."

In Sid's mind, Natsuki-chan was always a robot-like doll formed from magic. Her clothes were also made of magic, and she had simple logic in her actions. Although she wasn't without emotion in her eyes, the little bit of emotion she showed was so fake, like a video chat.

Last time, it must have been a conflict between the school's orders and the underlying logic that caused Natsuki-chan's brain to short-circuit, which is why she stood there in a daze watching him practice swordsmanship for half an hour.

That's why he used this method to try and see if he could get away with it. According to his speculation, without clear evidence, Nayuki-chan wouldn't be like others and would just notify his sister without thinking. At most, she would scold him for a while and then let him leave.

"Sid, what are you doing here? If I remember correctly, minors are not allowed in here. How did you get in?"

Seeing that there was no sign of drinking on Sid, Nangong Nayue stopped thinking about it and asked directly.

“Why am I here?

I was brought in by Uncle Li Zeweim. He'd had too much to drink, and I was really worried about him.

The bet was won!

Sid put his hands behind his back, looking embarrassed, and thought to himself, "That's what I was thinking."

Now it depends on how intelligent Natsuki-chan is. Will she believe him directly and let him leave, or will she be skeptical and continue to ask questions?

Thinking back on Nagatsuki's past behavior, Sid figured it would be the second possibility.

"Uncle? Who's Uncle? Sid, are you familiar with that person?"
