Shadow Farms
“Live a Moment in A Gang”
“Fumu ..”
Gamma while looking at Shadow fell silent in his mind after saying that. There was a hint of unease in his blue eyes.
Suddenly, a single tear came out from the corner of his eye. Seeing that purple nostalgic magic made him recall the past.
That purple light had been the beginning of Gamma's life.
If he wasn't there, Gamma would die as a pile of rotting flesh. Removed by his family, pursued by his country, losing everything, trapped in a mud of pain, fear, and despair. It was that young man who released the purple light that had saved him from all that. Gamma would never forget that purple light for the rest of his life. For Gamma, it is the light of life.
Life is in that purple light. Alpha had told him.
Gamma herself also thinks so – is not for logical reasons, but instinctively she knows that it is.
The light was definitely not something that only healed the wounds on the surface. It is something that reaches deeper, something that heals the life that receives it.
As Gamma was touched by the light, she felt something shackled within her become free. Something important and precious that had been suppressed was finally granted freedom, and he had returned, completely, to who he really was.
That day, Gamma was reborn.
When he was named ‘Gamma,’ he decided to devote his new life to Him.
But in contrast to his determination, he turned out to be the weakest among the Seven Shadows. He was defeated by those who came after him, lost countless hours, crawled on the ground in defeat, and felt humiliation again and again. Eventually, Gamma realized that no matter how much effort he put in, he would always be the weakest.
Gamma becomes depressed. What is the meaning of its existence? If the only thing he could do was to disturb everyone, then it would probably be better for him to just disappear.
But on the day he decided this, for some reason ‘Dia’ called him. And then He started talking about ‘Wisdom of the Shadow.’
A different path than martial arts. Road intelligence.
Gamma gripped the Wisdom of the Shadow with everything she had.
Knowing that this was the only way to live, he thoughtlessly poured his life into reproducing that knowledge.
With a look back, Gamma realized that ‘dia’ had known everything. Gamma's internal struggle and the right path for him, because he knows all that then he gives knowledge (wisdom) to Gamma.
What Gamma felt when he realized it was heart-wrenching pain.
It tore his heart apart when he thought of how lonely He was, being at such a high place that it was unreachable.
Is the existence of Gamma important to Him?
As he thought about it, tears flowed from Gamma's eyes.
But this was why he would wipe away his tears and work even harder.
He would make the Shadow Garden bigger and stronger, he would nurture it into an organization that was truly worthy of His name. And when he does, then surely .. This is the mind that fills him.
“I understand, so so.”
His voice draws Gamma back to the real world.
“I have a clue. I'll check it out.”
Upon hearing the wise voice that seemed to know everything, Gamma's chest stiffened.
Will he once again be unable to help at all at this moment?
He (Shadow) can always arrive at an answer with just a little information. How easily he understood a clue that even he (Gamma), after mobilizing all his subordinates, could not.
However, Gamma did not give up.
One day ..to be acknowledged by Him someday, he has decided to never give up.
“Nu, come here.”
He summoned a subordinate with dark brown hair who had guided Shadow today.
“This Nu. Number 13 of Numbers.”
“Mmm?”
He looked at Nu with narrowed eyes. In his sharp pupils, perhaps every aspect of Nu's power has been analyzed and seen.
“Although it hasn't been long since he joined us, he has a strength recognized by even Alpha-sama. Please use him freely for other tasks or for communication or others.”
“My Name Nu. It will be my honor to serve you.”
Nu's voice trembled slightly from nervousness.
“I'll call you if needed.”
“Good my master.”
Nu backed off with his head lowered.
“Alright, it's time for me to return.”
Shadow said, As he stood up.
“Oh yes.I want to buy some chocolate. It would be great if I could have the cheapest one with friend discount and marked cheaper.”
“We will soon prepare the goods with the best quality.”
“Friend discount is 100%.”
“Discount 100%... do you mean it's free? Lucky me! Ah, then please give me 3 servings.”
“As your wish.”
As He attempts to become an ordinary person as Sid Kagenou, Gamma even finds it mesmerizing.

“It's bad, we won't arrive in time for curfew!”
“That's because Sid-kun is late!”
“I've said sorry! I bought you chocolates, right?”
The three of us walked through the royal capital after the sun had set.
Although I was really late, Hyoro and Jaga also very much asked me about the plaque woman. Nu, right? Well anyway, I somehow diverted them with a random vague answer.
But still.
I didn't expect Alexia to really be a random slayer. If it's not Delta, then he's the only other person I can think of. When I heard the details from Gamma, I realized that she had finally gone and done it.
Although many were blessed in life as a princess, what made her do so far…
The heart of a woman is a mystery.
But well, I don't think that being a random slayer is a bad life. Wouldn't it be fine if there were some people like that?
But it was a completely different story to use the name of our Shadow Garden.
Unfortunately, that's something I can't forgive.
Sudden.
“Hey, did you guys hear that?”
“No, what is it?”
Hyoro said and Jaga while running forward.
It seems like the two of them did not hear it clearly, but I caught it well and clearly.
It was the sound of a sword against a sword.
Far enough away, a fight is going on.
I'm stopping.
“Oi, what's the problem?”
“They will close the gate!”
After a while, Hyoro and Jaga realized and also stopped.
I pointed at an alley.
“I have to defecate.”
Hyoro and Jaga both have faces “does this person serious?”.
“If I don't do it here now, I'll leak while running.”
“It ... does sound very serious.”
“So it's a matter of curfew or dignity.”
Their faces turned serious.
“Leave me behind and go first. I don't want to be seen by anyone..”.
“!! Okay, we won't tell anyone that you're late for defecating outside!”
“No matter what people say, Sid-kun's choice is the right one..
“Cannot last longer... fast, go!”
“Sid... we will never forget you!”
“Sid-kun.. Despite defecating outside, we will always be friends!”
“Go, you must goiiiii !!!”
They both turned and ran.
After seeing them off, I entered the alley, then walked towards the sound of the fight.
