Raising an eyebrow, Shiro was shocked to see news on three Queens that were currently making a move near a few of the major cities. The cities that were involved were New York, Shanghai and Manila.
There were photos and news reports on anchors that suddenly appeared in the sky and slammed into the centre of the cities.
New York was a rather low levelled city which confused Shiro as to why they would target that since the mana in the area was rather low. However, as she was not them, she didnāt know their thought process. There was only one problem though and that was each of them were quite far away from each other.
To get to them all, sheād need to expend quite a bit of effort. By the time she finished helping the first city, the other two would probably be taken over.
Furrowing her brows, she saw that Manila and Shanghai were the closest in terms of location on the map.
It would be better for her to help Manila then move over to Shanghai rather than attend to New York.
Seeing the expression on her daughterās face, Mio smiled softly.
"Do you want me and your dad to sort out the one in New York? Itās rather far from the other two so while you take care of them, weāll take care of this stray one." Mio suggested with a smile.
Furrowing her brows, Shiro was worried about the safety of her parents. After all, they had tier 6 guards with them and taking care of them as a tier 5 was rather difficult. The only reason Shiro could face off against them and even kill them was because they took them by surprise and Shiro had Nan Tian distracting the most annoying one as he was also a tier 6. However, neither Mio or Koji were tier 6 so fighting them was very risky.
"Haha, seems like youāre looking down on your mumās power." Mio grinned as she ruffled Shiroās hair.
"Itās not that. I know both you and dad are strong but this is a tier 6 weāre talking about. The chances of dying are very big." Shiro furrowed her brows in worry.
"Donāt worry. As a reaper, it would be quite embarrassing if I failed to take a soul now wouldnāt it?" Mio chuckled but Shiro still had her worried. Snapping her fingers, Nanobots surged in front of her as it morphed into a pair of earrings and bracelets.
"Take these mum. Iāve embedded the earrings with 5 charges of grace and the same with the bracelets. Give the bracelets to dad so that if you two take any serious damage you can heal yourselves back to full health. The earrings and bracelet also include the skill Kietoma so if youāre in danger, you can freeze their body and stop them for a second." Shiro said as she passed the items over to Mio.
She wanted to infuse the skills from Pandoraās requiem but so far she had been unsuccessful even with the help of divine energy so the most she could do was give her the most utility focused skills she had in order to help her parents end the fight quickly. She didnāt need to give them offensive spells since her parents were both offensive fighters. She didnāt need to worry.
Receiving these itemās Mio had a soft smile on her face as she nodded her head.
"Donāt worry, me and your dad will be careful ok? We wouldnāt want to leave Lil Shiro and Lil Keomi behind now would we?" Mio reassured as Shiro sighed and nodded her head.
Seeing her parentās expression, she understood that they werenāt about to give up anytime soon.
"Just be careful ok? Itās cruel but New York is just a low levelled city. I donāt know why they chose it but if it gets out of hand just give up on it and come back." Shiro said as Mio nodded her head.
Making their way back to the house Shiro could hear the sound of wooden swords clashing against one another in the dojo as she understood that Kanae and Irina were still training with Koji.
Opening the dojo door, she saw the three in the middle of the fight.
"Shiro-nee!" Kanaeās eyes brightened as Kojiās sword suddenly knocked her on the head.
"uah!" Taking a few steps back, Kanae quickly rubbed her head.
"Donāt get distracted in battle even if it is Shiro." Koji said as Kane pouted slightly.
"Weāll take a break now." He said as he stored the sword away and walked over to the three of them.
"How was it?" He asked with a smile.
"It was good. Mum and dad seemed rather happy with Shiro and she had even gotten a bit of training." Mio chuckled.
"Thatās good."
"Say dad, I heard that you were apparently rather rude to gramps when you took mum." Shiro said with a smug grin as Koji coughed embarrassingly.
"It was in the heat of the moment." Koji scratched his head as Shiro laughed.
"Right... Anyway how is Kanae and Irinaās training?" Shiro asked.
"Itās only been a few days so the effects arenāt obvious. However, Kanae has talent with the sword and I can probably get Irina up to a decent level. Itās not to say that she doesnāt have talent but sheās not fit for how I teach the sword. The most I can do is help her improve to the point she can defend herself." Koji glanced at Irina who was struggling for breath.
"Mn thatās fine. Iāll help her with some body reinforcement with mana and she should be able to handle herself." Shiro nodded her head as she planned to give her a manual on body reinforcement once she finished her rest.
"On a different note, what do you think about taking a trip to New York? One of the Queens seems to be rather eager to take over the city." Mio asked with a soft smile as Koji placed a hand on his chin.
"I donāt see why not. Plus, Iām somewhat curious about how I would fare against a tier 6." Koji nodded his head.
"Hais, youāre taking it too easily. A tier 6 can easily kill a tier 5 with a snap of their finger. Weāre just abnormal for being able to stand against one previously. I know you and mum are also abnormal in the strength area but donāt down on them ok? Even if you try to overestimate them, overestimate them some more in case they have something up their sleeve." Shiro sighed as she had experienced this situation before.
In Aria, when she was tier 6, people still underestimated her despite trying to overestimate. Naturally, the outcome was death as with most things that were connected to Nytri.
"Mn donāt worry. Daddy can take care of himself." Koji had a teasing smile on his face as he picked Shiro up.
"Uah! Damn it dad! Iām not a kid so donāt call yourself daddy!" Shiro gritted her teeth in embarrassment as she hit her dad on the head.
Of course, it wasnāt hard otherwise Kojiās body might have been flung out of the room.
Laughing for a moment, Koji let Shiro down.
"Letās see, I donāt think itāll take too long so Kanae and Irina can stay here for a bit while they digest all the information theyāve been taught." Koji said as Mio nodded her head since she didnāt mind.
After talking for a while, they decided to have some food as they were getting ready to move to the different cities. Shiroās first destination would be Manila where sheāll go deal with the queen there before moving to Shanghai. Once sheās finished in Shanghai, she wanted to find the old sect master and ask him about Isilia. After all, the system did say that he knew where she was.
Once they finished the food, Shiro gave Koji and Mio a hug as she watched them teleport away in the teleport shrine. Naturally, they werenāt reckless to teleport into the heart of danger so they chose a shrine a little further away.
With her parents now gone, Shiro prepared to teleport away with Nan Tian.
"Stay safe out there Shiro-nee." Kanae said as she had worry on her face.
She was too weak to follow so the best she could do was tell her to be careful.
"Donāt worry. I can take care of myself." Shiro grinned and patted Kanaeās head.
Giving her a wave, Shiro and Nan Tian teleported away.
