Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

Emilia clapped her hands with a happy laugh, "Then please follow me... Ah!"

She suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to the dragon carriage in a panic: "We need to take the earth dragon back to the stables first..."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Yingping felt that this was indeed the Emilia he knew.

Emilia's mansion is located in a corner of the royal capital's noble district.

Although it is not as spacious as the Kitchen God's House, its decor is extremely luxurious.

Yingping followed Emilia through the meticulously manicured courtyard.

The stone path underfoot is adorned with blooming blue roses, and a faint fragrance permeates the air.

"This is the property of Earl Roswaal in the capital. No one lives here normally, but someone takes care of it."

"We'll only stay here temporarily when we come to the capital."

Emilia explained softly, her long silver hair shimmering gently in the sunlight.

“Count Roswaal of the Borderlands? Who is he? A nobleman?”

Yingping pretended to be hearing the name for the first time and asked in confusion.

"Yes, I'll tell you the details. Let's sit down and talk first."

Emilia smiled slightly, took Yingping's hand, and led him into the mansion.

Her fingers were slender and soft, with a slight coolness, as smooth as the finest silk.

In the corridor, a maid with short, peach-pink hair is arranging tea sets.

Hearing footsteps, she turned gracefully and bowed: "Lady Emilia, you're back."

Ying Ping's eyes lit up—

This is Rem's older sister, Ram.

Although her face was expressionless, her delicate features and graceful figure still made it impossible to look away.

She was dressed in a standard black and white maid outfit, and her every move exuded a sense of competence.

Just seeing such a beautiful and adorable older sister, Ram, Yingping could already almost imagine what blue-haired Rem would look like.

"This is Mr. Shadow, who saved me today."

Emilia asked, "Ram, could you please prepare some tea and snacks?"

"As ordered."

Ram glanced coldly at Yingping, then muttered to himself as he turned to leave, "Another male attracted to Lady Emilia's beauty has appeared."

Upon hearing this, Ying Ping almost burst out laughing, and even felt a sense of satisfaction at being scolded—

Ram's sharp tongue is indeed well-deserved.

In the living room, sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the soft carpet.

Several landscape paintings hung on the surrounding walls, and the fireplace in the corner was polished to a shine, indicating that it was regularly maintained.

"Mr. Shadow, please have a seat."

Emilia gestured for Yingping to sit on the sofa, while she herself sat opposite him.

Just then, the living room door was gently pushed open.

Ram walked in carrying a tea tray, her movements elegant and precise, every detail impeccable.

"Guest, please have some tea."

Ram placed the teacup in front of Yingping with a blank expression, her voice calm and undisturbed.

Yingping looked up at her. Ram's appearance was as exquisite as a doll, and her red pupils showed no emotion.

However, Ram also glanced at Yingping, but quickly looked away.

Yingping maintained a polite smile: "Thank you, Miss Maid, for pouring tea for my male guest."

"You're welcome, it's a maid's duty."

Ram responded calmly, then stepped aside, folded his hands in front of him, and stood upright.

Emilia coughed awkwardly and began to introduce herself.

“Um, Mr. Shadow, as you may have noticed, I am actually one of the candidates for the 42nd King of the Kingdom of Lugnica.”

She lowered her head slightly, her fingers gently stroking the rim of the teacup, seemingly a little nervous.

“Count Roswaal is my supporter, and this mansion was provided to me by him for temporary residence in the capital.”

Yingping nodded, feigning surprise, and said, "I see. I never imagined that Miss Emilia was a candidate for the next king. I have been so rude on the way here."

"No, there's no need to be so formal!"

Emilia quickly waved her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed, "I didn't mean to hide it... it's just... I have to tell you my identity, after all..."

She paused, took a deep breath, and mustered her courage to look at Yingping.

"Mr. Shadow, I heard you're traveling around. Would you... be interested in working for me?"

"I can offer very high compensation, if you're willing..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and she looked pitiful, her purplish-blue eyes filled with expectation and trepidation.

Yingping did not answer immediately, but instead picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then slowly spoke.

"Miss Emilia, are you really willing to hire someone like me with an unknown background?"

"After all, this is our first meeting today. Aren't you afraid that I might be a spy sent by another royal faction or another country?"

He looked directly at Emilia and asked the question deliberately.

Emilia met his gaze, her eyes resolute.

"No, I trust Mr. Shadow's character."

"If you were a spy, you wouldn't have needed to save me in the first place."

She said softly, "And... you're the first person who didn't look down on me because I resemble the Witch of Jealousy when we first met, and even complimented me on how pretty I am..."

As she spoke, the tips of her ears turned slightly red, and her voice softened.

Yingping couldn't help but laugh.

"That's because Miss Emilia is really beautiful, she's my type of girl."

"Eh?!"

Emilia's eyes widened instantly, and her entire face flushed red at a visible speed, even her neck turning a light pink.

She lowered her head helplessly, her fingers gripping the hem of her skirt tightly, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of her chest.

(What did he say? He likes... his type?)

(Is this... a confession?!)

Just as the atmosphere became extremely ambiguous, Ram walked forward expressionlessly.

She placed a plate of delicate pastries heavily on the table.

"Guest, please have some self-respect. I hope you will not try to deceive my lady Emilia with sweet words. She is still very naive."

"I don't know why, but I only see frivolity and arrogance in your eyes."

Her voice remained calm, but for some reason, Yingping always felt that there was a subtle hint of disdain in her gaze.

(Ah...that look of looking at trash is just perfect.)

"Really? I didn't expect this maid to have such outstanding skills, being able to see so much from my eyes in an instant."

"I am willing to admit defeat."

Yingping wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he picked up his teacup and took a sip, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Hmph, your name is Shadow? That's a strange name. I wonder if it's your real name."

“A person who is unwilling to reveal their real name must have something to hide. Lady Emilia, this is a troublesome person and cannot be trusted at all.”

Ram snorted and started being sarcastic again.

"Ram! Don't say that, Mr. Shadow is a very good person!"

Emilia cried out in embarrassment and annoyance.

Yingping leisurely picked up a pastry and put it in his mouth, smiling as he looked at Ram: "A name is just a label, Miss Ram, why do you care so much?"

"Is your real name Ram? Why not a cute name like Little Strawberry?"

"Huh?! You have a problem with my hair color?"

A vein bulged on Ram's forehead. "How dare a mere male stick insect be so disrespectful to me!"

"Why are you so angry? I was just joking."

Yingping shrugged, picked up the barely brewed black tea, took a sip, and said, "But speaking of which, Miss Ram's black tea is indeed very good, and I must sincerely praise that."

"Hmph, of course, Ram is the perfect maid."

She proudly raised her chin, but then frowned. "Wait, do you think you can get away with praising me like this?"

"What are you trying to fool us with?"

Yingping blinked innocently, "I was just stating the facts. Doesn't Miss Ram usually accept compliments?"

"you--"

Ram's cheeks flushed slightly with anger, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the tray.

Emilia watched helplessly as the two bickered back and forth, unable to get a word in edgewise.

She glanced at Yingping, then at Ram, and finally could only weakly say, "Um... Ram, Mr. Shadow is a guest, please be a little more polite..."

Yingping picked up another pastry, took a bite, and deliberately frowned, saying, "Tsk, these cookies are a bit too hard, and the taste is lacking. It seems that a certain maid's skills still need to be redone..."

"Hey, you want to fight, huh!"

Ram finally lost her temper, slammed the teapot down on the table with a bang, and stepped onto the coffee table in front of Winning.

The table shook, and a few drops of black tea spilled from the teacup.

"A suspicious individual like you with an unknown background has no right to comment on Ram's work!"

She glared down at Ying Ping, her red eyes burning with rage...

Yingping raised his head slightly, his gaze following the direction of Ram's raised leg—

The hem of the maid's dress fluttered slightly, revealing a section of her fair thigh, and one could even vaguely glimpse a shadow deeper inside.

(Wow... lace.)

Ying Ping raised an eyebrow, but maintained a calm smile: "Miss Strawberry, isn't this pose a little unladylike? Everyone saw it~"

"Heh, anyway, a frivolous man like you must be thinking about lewd things, right?"

Ram's face was contorted with disdain, her red eyes filled with contempt. "You've been acting all high and mighty since you walked in, it's infuriating! Ram really wants to stomp on your face!"

"Ram!"

Emilia finally raised her voice, "You're being incredibly rude! Mr. Shadow is a guest and my savior. How could you treat him like this?"

Ram then suddenly came to his senses and realized that his behavior was indeed too inappropriate.

She quickly withdrew her foot, took two steps back, and bowed her head in apology: "I'm sorry, Lady Emilia, Ram has failed in her duty. Please punish me."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt somewhat confused—

She usually doesn't lose control of her emotions so easily, but for some reason, she always feels inexplicably irritated when facing this man named Shadow.

(He looks so weak and insignificant, but why... do I always feel like there's something wrong with him?)

(Although I was testing him, his smiling face was just too irritating; it was like he was deliberately provoking me!)

"Sigh, never mind, Ram, you should apologize to Mr. Shadow."

Emilia glanced at Yingping and, seeing that he wasn't angry, decided not to punish Ram.
