To Be a Power in the Shadows! (LN) - Volume 5 - Chapter 1.1

Chapter 1 Nee-san’s Return and Progression of Disease……!

Part 1

The next day, the school was in an uproar about last night’s fight between Zeta and Delta.

“Last night, it seems there was a tremendous amount of magic power detected in the back of the dormitory.”

“It seems, I was sleeping so I don’t know.”

“I was sleeping, too, so I don’t know.”

Hyoro and Jaga were talking with troubled look on their faces.

“I heard they’re checking the scene”

“It looks like. Some of the teachers were there to help.”

“The back of the dormitory is the crime scene, which means they must have intended to break into the women’s dormitory. The culprit must be a pervert.”

“No, it looks like the back of the men’s dormitory is the crime scene.”

“Mu, then they were going to break into the men’s dormitory.”

“What is their purpose?”

“That’s because there’s a handsome guy here.”

Hyoro said with a dirty smile.

“Right. There is a handsome man here too.”

Jaga also said with a dirty smile.

“I guess so.”

I agreed with the usual expression on my face.

Aside from these two, the other students seem to be talking rather seriously about last night’s incident. They have various theories, such as that it was committed by someone with a grudge against the school, that a valuable artifact in the laboratory was the target, or that it is related to the missing case in question.

Sorry guys.

The truth is, it’s just a dog and cat fight. But I don’t dislike the atmosphere of some incident going on behind the peaceful school life.

“The next class is in the exercise room, so let’s get moving.”

“Wait, Sid, you’ve got some nerve leaving this handsome guy here.”

“Wait a minute, the handsome guy is getting ready.”

I leave them alone and move on.

But last night, it was great to hit Alexia with the Eminence in Shadow move on the spur of the moment.

The horrific battle that unfolds on the other side of the peaceful school and me worrying about its fate. The ability to improvise and the realistic direction using the battle between Zeta and Delta were high art points.

Furthermore, I show my ability and appeal that the world we live in is a very different place.

In the underworld conflict, the people from the front only get in the way ―― an ironclad stylish direction that has been in place since BC.

Just thinking about it makes me smile.

My idea of the best “Eminence in Shadow” will be etched in the history of this world.

“Master”

I wonder if it’s my imagination, but I hear Zeta’s voice from somewhere.

“Master, over here.”

“Oops.”

It wasn’t my imagination.

I thought a girl wearing a janitor’s uniform was grabbing my uniform, but it was Zeta.

For some reason she is dressed in a work uniform, wearing a knit hat and covering her ears.

“What’s the matter, and why are you dressed like that?”

“Disguise, infiltration”

Zeta sticks close to me and says it simply.

“Stop marking me, it will stand out.”

There are other students in the hallway.

“Master, you dog smelly.”

“When Zeta sticks to me, it will be cat smelly.”

“Muuh.”

I tore off Zeta with my elbow.

“By the way, what about Delta?”

“I’ve scattered her. By now she’s on the sea.”

“Let’s not get into the details.”

Zeta, who seriously escaped, is difficult to catch. That’s why she can fight with Delta.

“Nn, over here.”

Zeta pulled me by the hand and took me into an empty classroom.

The air in the empty classroom was cold and dusty, probably because it had not been used for a while.

“The next class is about to start.”

“I report”

She snuggles up and whispers in my ear.

Apparently, she wants to continue playing spy.

“The attack on her failed”

“I bet.”

“But she’s still on the other side.”

“I see.”

“The Cult will send the next assassin.”

Zeta moved to the window and looked out.

I also stood next to her and we both moved to look down out the window. In the distance I could see the Knights and teachers conducting last night’s site inspection.

Zeta stared at them with her purple eyes.

I imitated her and stared at them too.

“Probably him.”

“Him, huh?”

“If it’s dangerous, I’ll intervene”

“I’ll leave the decision to you.”

At that moment, Zeta quickly bent down.

I also imitated her and bent down.

“He’s searched”

“Guess there’s a guy with good instincts.”

“Nn, lurking in the shadows.”

When I hid and looked outside, I felt a gaze from a distance for a moment.

“What is he looking at……Oops, I have to go now.”

The bell rang.

Looking back, Zeta was nowhere to be found.
