Chapter 326 Aunty!?
"So, can you introduce me to your party? I’m quite curious as to who they are. Plus, didn’t that girl earlier call you mum? Now that I think about it again, she’s like a mini version of you. Does that make me an aunt? Who’s the dad?"
Seeing Keomi bombard her with a myriad of questions while keeping up to her with a light smile, Shiro couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
"I’ll tell you about the party when we meet up again. As for Yin, I suppose you’re an aunt now. There is no father in this." She replied while hopping over some buildings.
Making some ice daggers, Shiro threw them to her left without even looking.
"GAH!"
Cries of pain could be heard as two assassins fell out of a window with ice daggers implanted in their eyes.
"Holy... Sis, is it just me or has your reaction and sensory awareness gotten better than before? If you went with a fighter type class, I’m sure mum and dad would be delighted." Keomi’s eyes brightened as she grabbed some roof tiles ad tried to emulate the same effect.
*BANG!
Throwing them to where she had sensed some enemies, she peeked around the corner to see if she had hit her mark since there were no screams.
"Ah, I hit them in the chest." Keomi furrowed her brows.
"You didn’t just hit them in the chest, you made a hole THROUGH the chest." Shiro sighed.
Shaking her head lightly, she smiled softly at her actions.
’It’s kinda cute isn’t it?’ Shiro asked Nimue.
{Indeed. Though it’s also sad at the same time. Her sister is no longer here.} Nimue replied while looking at Keomi with pity.
Giving Nimue a silent agreement, Shiro rapidly approached where the party is.
Upon arrival, Shiro instantly brought up her guard since she could see that the party was fighting against 2 level 100’s.
Madison was tanking one of them with the help of Silvia while the others were focusing on the second level 100. With Lisandra leading the charge, they were able to deal some damage but not along.
Activating Celestial Raiment, ice version and Sylph Queens’ Domain, Shiro flickered into the rift and left Keomi alone on the roof.
"Eh? Sis, w-! Her party’s in danger!" Keomi came to a realisation when she saw what was ahead.
Understanding that Shiro could probably take on the level 100 that was fighting Lisandra and the others, Keomi targeted the first enemy. The one that was being occupied by Madison.
Crouching down slightly, Keomi disappeared from her spot and reappeared besides Madison.
"Duck!" Keomi shouted out.
"Duck!?" Madison widened her eyes at the sight of Keomi and quickly ducked down to avoid the fist.
*BANG!
Punching the level 100 into blood mist, Keomi huffed in satisfaction.
"Mn, good reaction! You get a pass." She grinned.
Since Madison was able to dodge in time, it meant her reaction speed was pretty solid for someone of her level. This meant that she was worthy enough to be in Shiro’s party.
Turning over to the second level 100, Keomi was just in time to see Shiro crumble his body frozen dust after splitting him in half with an ice spear.
[Level Up!]
Levelling up to 80, Shiro instantly equipped her set armour and felt a rather substantial increase to her stats.

< > = Title Bonus (50%) {Tears of the Sylph Queen +5% INT} (Armour) [ ]= Armour passive
Unassigned Points: 0
Designating herself as the target to be siphoned, she chose INT as the only stat to be increased. Thus, giving her an additional 60% of her base INT added onto the final result. Unfortunately, she didn’t see any signs of a new skill but she wasn’t too worried. After all, her MP suddenly jumped from roughly 17 million to 24 million in an instant.
"Fuu... let’s get out of here. Since you fought against a level 100 in this location, you will definitely attract some attention." Shiro frowned as the party nodded before turning over to Keomi.
"So... wasn’t she supposed to be trying to kill you mum?" Yin raised an eyebrow.
"Well it turns out that she’s apparently your aunt. Keomi is my sister from before I lost my memories." Shiro confessed while scanning the area around them for any additional enemies.
"Pft! Aunt!?" Yin widened her eyes and looked over at the happy Keomi.
"Lil Yin is cute just like when Kuromi was younger. Call me aunt Keomi." She smiled while flashing besides Yin and hugged her.
"GAH! Unhand me woman! Mum! Help!" Yin cried out in shock.
"Listen to your aunt, Yin." Shiro dismissed it with a slight wave.
Grabbing everyone into the rift, they made their way out of the area.
Turning back to the party, she ignored the sight of Keomi stroking Yin’s hair while Yin tried to escape but to no avail.
"As I was saying before Keomi appeared, we’ll be moving closer to where the second prince’s group is. We’ll cause some chaos within their ranks before moving back to the main battlefield.
"As usual, the groups will stay the same. Make sure you don’t stay in a location for too long and you must act fast. I’ll give you some more orders over the mic but there may be moments when you’ll have to make decisions yourself. Two rules. Rule 1, make sure you survive. If you don’t think you can win a fight, don’t go in and risk it. Rule 2, never venture too far into the main warzone. As we are under levelled, this is the most that we can do." Shiro said with a serious glare.
Seeing Shiro command the party like so, Keomi smiled nostalgically.
’This part of sis never changes even if she doesn’t remember the past.’ She thought to herself.
"By the way Keomi, you’re supporting the first prince right?" Shiro asked.
"Mn? Oh yeah. But it doesn’t matter too much. Cousin only wanted a better foothold in this country. It doesn’t really matter who we support. We only chose the first prince since it looked like he had the biggest chance of success." Keomi shrugged.
"Honestly, you can kill the idiot for all I care. Putting up with him is a pain in the ass since he’s too arrogant."
". . . Huh." Seeing how nonchalant Keomi was with the notion of killing the person that she had been investing in for a while was a little surprising.
"I’ll be supporting big sis from now so just ask me anything and I’ll get everyone to change sides." Keomi grinned.
"Wait, what if they don’t want to?" Shiro asked curiously.
"Well I’ll probably just punch them later or something. I don’t usually think too hard about these things." Keomi chuckled.
Poking Yin’s cheeks, she was a little surprised at their bounciness and couldn’t hold herself back from poking some more.
"Wow, they’re like lil dumplings."
"If they were dumplings, Yin would have probably eaten them already." Lisandra said while giving Yin a side glance.
"Gah! Are you picking a fight with me now lil Lis!? Just you wait until this woman unhands me!" Yin protested.
"Oh? Why is that?" Keomi tilted her head in confusion.
"Because everyone here knows that Yin loves food more than anything." Lisandra replied.
"I see! So you want food!"
"Keomi don’t feed her anything. Until she completes her task, any food will just be an excuse for her to be lazy." Shiro cut in before Keomi could pull out food from her inventory.
"Anyways, enough shenanigans and listen up. Our main task for this current ’war’ is to weaken each side by a considerable amount. Anything extra will just be a bonus so don’t go charging to kill an executive just because they seem weak. Think about the situation and the risks before acting ok?" Shiro reaffirmed before smiling.
"Now let’s go kick some ass. Remember, piercing is always an option."
Leaving the rift, the party instantly split apart into their respective groups and dashed through the city.
Gesturing Yin to turn back into her bird form, Shiro leapt into the air.
"Hop on!" Shiro called out to Keomi.
"Hop on to what?"
Without saying anything, Yin changed herself into her phoenix form and carried both Shiro and Keomi.
She could have done this before but there was no need for the others to know that she actually quite enjoyed the hug and hair stroke. It would be embarrassing if they knew after all.
"Woah! Lil Yin is actually a phoenix?! No wonder you said that no father is involved." Keomi praised.
"Mn. Eyes up, we’ll be the more active group in the party. After all, me and you are the ones with the highest level. Naturally, that means we’ll be fighting more peak C ranked and maybe some B ranked adventurers." Shiro reminded.
"You got it Big Sis. I’ll make sure you’re free of danger." Keomi grinned.
’This girl.’ Shiro thought with a soft smile.
Shaking her head, she tracked down a rather large group of level 100’s for them to kill.
