Nishino Akane saw the shadow of Kageno Minoru in Sid.
She was exceptionally kind to him, letting Sid live in the room next to hers.
After settling Sid, Nishino Akane brought out food from the base to entertain Beta and Sino.
The two hadn't eaten for a long time and were indeed a bit hungry.
They didn't stand on ceremony with the food prepared by others.
Nishino Akane maintained a welcoming attitude towards the two sudden arrivals, especially Beta.
Nishino Akane's eyes lit up as she looked at Beta.
As a knight, Beta's evolution seemed very advanced, possessing extremely high research value.
Beta naturally noticed Nishino Akane's gaze.
"Hello, my name is Natsume!"
Beta politely said to Nishino Akane.
Afterward, Nishino Akane proposed that she wanted to help Beta examine her body.
Beta looked at Sino.
Sino agreed.
The two went to Nishino Akane's laboratory.
Nishino Akane said many things Beta didn't know, and Beta was also very interested in them.
Because of his strength, Sino received the favor of many girls.
They all hinted, both implicitly and explicitly, that they wanted to be Sino's woman.
Sino had no interest whatsoever in these 'crooked melons and cracked dates,' these unknown, second-hand goods.
He transformed into a Sigma male and told them to get lost.
When the women didn't get a good response from Sino, they started to badmouth him.
There was a local area network in Messia, and everyone spoke freely online.
Everyone was speaking ill of Sino.
A person with the online name 'Silver-Haired Beautiful Girl Princess' fought against many of Sino's haters online, like a keyboard immortal reincarnated.
She completely held her own.
Sino also saw from the phone he casually picked up that Beta used few words, but her typing speed was indeed fast.
She must have used magic to enhance her hand speed.
Beta was currently in Nishino Akane's research lab.
The computer she was using was also Nishino Akane's computer.
Nishino Akane kept Beta there for various reasons.
Beta didn't resist; it was a good opportunity to gather intelligence in that situation.
Since Sino was a knight, living in a single room was acceptable; there was no overcrowding.
Sino was just about to walk around the base.
A boy stopped Sino. The other person was not tall, about 1.5 meters, somewhat resembling Jaka, but with a squarer head.
"Were you the one who made my goddess cry yesterday?"
"Who is your goddess?"
After the other person's explanation, Sino remembered.
When he first arrived, there were a few women who threw themselves at him.
They knew Sino's strength was no less than Nishino Akane's, so they wanted to find a strong backer.
Sino told them to get lost, and then they cyberbullied him.
Online, he inexplicably became a 'weak chicken,' his strength all hype.
"If you're talking about that woman, then yes, I was the one who made her cry!"
"You scoundrel, apologize to my goddess!"
"Call your goddess here, and I'll apologize to her!"
Hearing this, the other person went to call his goddess without hesitation.
A moment later, a girl was brought over; she looked ordinary, slightly pure.
Sino used magic to scan her body.
"Probably been with a dozen or so men!"
"Actually, the apology can be waived, as long as you're willing to be my Lord Knight! Everything can be settled amicably!"
The girl said haughtily.
Her nostrils were arrogantly pointed skyward.
"Apologize? Who's going to apologize to you?!"
Sino slapped the woman across the face.
Sino would not easily hit a woman, unless she was asking for it too much.
This woman looked at people with her nostrils the moment they met.
With a simp around, she really became arrogant.
That simp, who had never seen a woman, rushed forward, wanting to fight Sino to the death.
He was kicked ten meters away by Sino and fell unconscious.
"You had a lot of fun cursing me online, huh?!"
"No, it wasn't me who cursed you!"
"Do you even believe that yourself?"
She thought about it; she didn't seem to believe it either.
"I was wrong, I only cursed you a few times, and it wasn't a big deal for you. You've already hit him, so please let me go!"
"Then it shouldn't be a big deal if I hit you a few times, right?!"
Sino grabbed the woman by her collar and threw her out.
The woman flew into the air like a meteor.
"The world is much quieter now!"
Without a doubt, that woman was certainly dead, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
If she could fall from ten thousand meters and survive, Sino might look at her with high regard.
Sino stretched and began his patrol duties as a knight.
Sid encountered a bit of trouble.
Someone liked Nishino Akane, but Sid and Nishino Akane's relationship was a bit too close.
Someone was jealous.
That person was named Saejima, a man and Nishino Akane's direct superior.
Nishino Akane was a regular security guard, originally a captain, but she was demoted to a regular security guard because she often broke rules.
Saejima was about to beat Sid, but Nishino Akane appeared in time and forced him back.
Saejima couldn't beat Nishino Akane, so he had to give up.
Before leaving, he warned Sid to stay away from Nishino Akane, saying she was his woman.
As a knight, Sino circled the city walls of Messia for his daily patrol.
The city walls were well-built and should be able to block some weaker monsters, but they wouldn't be of much use against powerful monsters.
In his free time, Sino also read some books on inventions, such as the invention and creation of automobiles.
He planned to understand this knowledge and then go back and tell Eta.
At night, the monsters suddenly rioted, and large numbers of them gathered beneath the city walls.
Sino was also called over.
With so many monsters outside the city, the guards were clearly struggling to hold on.
At this moment, a dark shadow appeared in the sky.
He descended from the sky, instantly killing the strongest monster, and then, like cutting melons and vegetables, he quickly slaughtered all the monsters.
This scene left many knights bewildered.
He was too strong.
"I am Shadow, lurking in the shadows to hunt those of the shadows!"
"Tonight's wind is truly boisterous! The evening breeze is crying!!"
After Shadow finished speaking, he vanished.
This left everyone a bit confused.
They simply didn't understand what the powerful man in black meant to express.
Sino didn't concern himself with Shadow; let him do as he pleased.
Sino seemed somewhat distracted by the matters here.
Suddenly becoming a worker didn't feel so good; he had to patrol every day, which was monotonous and boring.
He directly knocked on Doctor Yuuka's door at night.
"Isn't this Mister Sino? What brings you here so late?!"
"Let's talk inside!"
"Mister Sino, please behave yourself!"
Doctor Yuuka clearly mistook Sino for one of those desperate men.
"When do you plan to make your move? Hurry up and act. Aren't you going to kill the Original Knight Nishino Akane to avenge your deceased husband?"
"I'll deal with all your enemies!"
Doctor Yuuka looked at Sino warily, then pulled him into the room.
"What is your purpose?"
"Just for fun. Anyway, this place can't hold against the beast tide; its destruction is only a matter of time."
"You help me deal with that Saejima," Doctor Yuuka said.
"You're a spy, just like him, aren't you?!"
"How do you even know that?!"
The other party investigating her and knowing her identity wasn't scary, but he knew Saejima was also a spy, which was something else.
"Beta, you go take care of it!"
"Yes!"
Beta's voice came from the private patient room.
Nishino Akane had placed Beta in the hospital. After all, staying in the research institute all the time wasn't ideal.
"Why are you helping me?!" Doctor Yuuka asked.
"I also find Nishino Akane disagreeable! Is that reason enough?"
"Enough, it's more than enough!"
Doctor Yuuka was about to pour a glass of water.
The door was opened.
Beta, holding a man by one hand, threw him onto the floor.
The man had no injuries but was unconscious.
"That's too efficient!"
"It wouldn't take long to kill everyone in this base! But I'm not that bloodthirsty!"
"Then can you help me directly kidnap Nishino Akane?" Yuuka asked.
"Do it yourself. I'll give you a piece of advice: don't make your move when that young man is near Nishino Akane; he's the man in black who killed the monsters today!"
Sino finished speaking and left, and Beta followed him, leaving only the unconscious Saejima behind.
