Anime Crossover: Starting with an Infinite Dragon God as a Mount

For example, as the successor to the Sidi family, he cannot bear the burden of such a history of defeat against humans.

You could even say that this method is also a form of protection for Su Mu, this human being.

However, no matter how many reasons there may be, it is an undeniable fact that she used unfair means to win in her competition with Su Mu.

Although Shiki Sona is a demon, he is not so easily forgiven for the victories he obtained through illegitimate means.

Especially seeing Su Mu's sudden change in behavior after realizing that she had failed due to improper means, she felt even more guilty.

Even though he had once helped Su Mu deal with the demon-slaying family that came looking for trouble, this sense of guilt still hadn't disappeared.

This was perhaps one of the reasons why he initially wanted Su Mu to become his kin.

However, now that Su Mu has become his kin, it can no longer be considered compensation.

Moreover, Su Mu currently has absolutely no intention of becoming a demon.

However, Sona Shiki had no idea that Su Mu's efforts to run for student council president were actually a scheme to trick her into using illegitimate means.

"In the name of Canna Siddi, I swear that I will not evade or shirk responsibility for my past mistakes."

The girl named Sona bowed deeply with a solemn expression.

"Whether it's anger or blame, resentment or punishment, I accept it all as long as it brings you peace."

Chapter 42 Chairman, are you doing something inhuman?

Looking at Shiki Sona bowing down in front of him, Su Mu was speechless.

Ah, no, at this point she should be called Sona Sidi.

The name Shiki Sona was merely a name used for convenience when operating in the human world.

The name Cangna Xidi represents her identity as the successor to the Xidi family patriarch, and also symbolizes that she carries the honor of the Xidi family when she acts.

To be honest, Su Mu had no complaints about Zhi Qu Cang using special means to win the competition back then—in fact, he had expected that outcome.

If Cangna truly loses honestly, then he will have no choice but to use other alternative methods to achieve the same effect in a roundabout way.

Of course, the simplest alternative is to declare that you have lost interest in the position after winning.

Subsequently, he voluntarily gave it to Sora.

During this process, it is essential to show a resentful expression, and to make sure that Shiki Sona notices it.

In that case, Shiki Sona would think that although she did not intend to take any off-site measures, someone had acted on her own initiative.

In that case, the result is the same.

The root of this matter was that Su Mu wanted to get involved with Zhi Qu Cang Na at that time, so that Cang Na would feel guilty towards him.

To put it bluntly, he was just trying to scam someone.

He no longer needs Sona's guilt towards him, but that guilt still lingers in Sona's heart.

And Su Mu, naturally, could not take the initiative to reveal the truth of the matter.

Besides, whether it's guilt or something else, you can't just throw away the goodwill you've earned yourself.

Thinking this, Su Mu slowly reached out and gently placed her hand on the black hair of the bowing Sona.

The black hair felt soft and smooth to the touch, and seemed to carry the pleasant scent of lavender shower gel.

The girl, who had her head down, blushed instantly and her body tensed up slightly.

She was clearly feeling a little shy because of Su Mu's intimate actions.

"To be honest, when I first found out that I had failed, I did feel resentful."

"Especially since I had heard before that even if I had more popularity, I would never be able to get the position of student council president. At that time, I suspected that there was probably some behind-the-scenes manipulation involved."

Gently stroking Zhi Qu Cang's soft hair, Su Mu spoke in a slightly sentimental tone.

"It's the result of my hard work over so long, but it failed because of someone else's underhanded tactics. It's impossible for me not to feel resentment about this."

Hearing Su Mu's words, Zhi Qu Cang's face, which had just been showing a shy expression, instantly stiffened slightly, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault—"

However, before she could finish speaking, Su Mu interrupted her again.

"At that moment, I thought, if it were Cang Na, she would never do such a thing behind someone's back."

"The girl named Shitori Sona must be the kind of charming woman who can smile at me and offer words of congratulations even when facing failure, right?"

"Since such a choice was made, there must be a reason for it that I am unaware of—"

As he spoke, a gentle smile appeared on Su Mu's face, as he silently assessed his acting skills.

"So now, don't I know the inside story?"

Zhi Qu Cang Na looked away, slightly embarrassed.

Although the two were discussing normal topics, for some reason, she always felt overwhelmed by Su Mu's gaze.

"Even if there are inside stories, it is an undeniable fact that I used despicable means to steal the victory that was rightfully yours."

The girl gently pushed up her glasses, her expression gradually returning to normal from her awkwardness, and said softly.

"Then, after I stole the cultivation method of that spiritual power from the member of that exorcising family, you helped me fend off the retaliation. That should be enough to repay you."

Su Mu said naturally.

“No, I didn’t actually do anything about that…” Shiki Sona said softly, “or rather, that matter was nothing at all, and in my opinion, it doesn’t qualify as compensation.”

For the successor of the Sidi family, one of the four great families of the underworld, this was indeed a trivial matter, at most just a matter of giving an order.

This made her feel no sense of reality about what she had done.

Of course, the reason for this was that Su Mu regarded him as an equal.

In her view, what Su Mu lost was the result of more than a year of hard work.

The compensation she offered was merely a single sentence, which was naturally completely unequal.

In reality, they are indeed not equal, but this "inability to be equal" is quite the opposite.

What she compensated for far exceeded what Su Mu lost.

The key to truly entering the supernatural world: the method of extracting spiritual energy.

The mark on his body belongs to the "Sidi" family, the protection of demons from the underworld.

These are things that even the biggest tycoons in the world can't buy, even if they spend billions of dollars.

For Su Mu at that time, these two things were more important than anything else.

However, Sona still believed that this was far from enough.

“What you consider insignificant was incredibly important to me back then.” Su Mu gently ruffled the girl’s hair, seemingly utterly helpless. “So, sometimes, you might need to try to see things from my perspective.”

If it were the Su Mu of the past, he would naturally not have said that to Zhiqu Cangna.

Because at that time, he felt that the more Sona owed him, the better.

However, there is no need to fill Cangna's heart with the guilt that I have instilled in her.

"Put yourself in someone else's shoes..." Shiki Sona pondered, head bowed.

"However, if you really want to make it up to me, why don't you take me out for a meal?" Su Mu said, spreading his hands. "I was called out as soon as I got back to the classroom, and I haven't even had lunch yet."

"Lunch?" Shiki Sona's eyes lit up slightly, then a smile appeared on her face. "Sure, please follow me."

Chapter 43 Skipping Class with a Kitten

"Then, please use it."

In the student council office, Sona took out her own lunchbox, and then took out an extra lunchbox.

Then, he divided his lunchbox into two portions, one large and one small, and placed the larger portion in front of Su Mu.

"Sona-kun, you seem to have quite a big appetite?"

Su Mu stared blankly at the lunchbox placed in front of her and then spoke.

I originally wanted the Occult Research Department to take care of my lunch at noon, but unexpectedly I was invited away by Sona Shido halfway through.

In this way, the idea of ​​getting a free meal naturally fell through.

At this time, the school cafeteria would have already closed.

As for places like convenience stores, they don't have many items each day, and apart from a few rather unpalatable items, they're probably all sold out.

Therefore, Su Mu's original intention was to have Zhi Qu Cang Na, that rich dog, directly order his family servants to solve his lunch problem.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly frail girl took out a rather substantial bento box and divided it into two portions.

Moreover, the portion placed in front of Su Mu was at least as much as her usual portion.

Tempura, sashimi, conch meat, seaweed rolls... the variety of dishes is rich and diverse, and the plating is also very particular, showing that a lot of effort has been put into them.

When dividing Sona into two parts, he was also quite careful not to ruin its aesthetic appeal.

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Zhi Qu Cangna gently raised her hand and brushed a strand of hair from her temple, her expression somewhat embarrassed.

Then, he nodded slightly, trying to remain calm in his tone.

"I usually enjoy delicious food and have a great interest in it, so when I prepare a bento box for myself, I tend to make a slightly larger portion."

"Anyway, as a demon, I shouldn't have to worry about gaining weight from eating too much."

She couldn't very well say that she had planned to invite Su Mu to become her dependent at noon.

At the same time, they were also preparing to invite him to lunch.

So, why not prepare a generous portion of the bento box?

If I were to state this reason, wouldn't it make me seem far too unreserved?

Sona was a little troubled.

Therefore, in order to maintain her composure as a young girl, Sona felt that she should accept the title of "big eater" first.

"I think it's a good thing whether you like food or something else. Whether you're a demon or a wielder of divine artifacts, the meaning of survival isn't about getting stronger or anything, but about finding enjoyment in life."

"Food is an extremely important part of enjoyment; if it is missing, life would probably be much less colorful."
