Looking at Nan Tian with a twitching smile, Shiro tried her best to point towards what he was holding.

  "Is that a wheelchair?" She asked as he nodded his head.

  "This way I can help you move around for now since you’re injured." Nan Tian smiled.

  "I can see that and I appreciate the thought. But please, can you tell me why it’s f*cking pink?" Shiro gestured at the pink wheelchair with flowers decorating the handle and wheels.

  "What? I think it’s pretty cute. Plus, you said that you were delicate right? I thought delicate women would like flowers." Nan Tian chuckled as Nimue nodded her head from within Shiro’s mana realm.

  ’Don’t join him!’ Shiro retorted while trying to massage her eyes once more only to fail.

  {Pft, my empress, I’d say you accept this gentleman’s gift. He’s quite caring after all.} Nimue laughed as Shiro felt a vein burst.

  ’I can’t even disguise myself since using mana hurts like f*ck right now.’ Shiro grumbled in her mind as she could only relent to Nan Tian’s shenanigans.

  "Just so you know, I’m keeping a note of this. The moment I recover, you better watch your ass." Shiro narrowed her eyes while begrudgingly accepting the flowery wheelchair.

  "Haha, I’ll keep that in mind. Do you want me to help you onto the wheelchair?" Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro nodded slowly after a moment.

  Seeing this, Nan Tian’s smile grew wider as he gently carried her into a princess carry before laying her down on the chair. Currently, Shiro was in a simple white one-piece dress that Nimue had helped her put on. Paired with her embarrassed face and flowery wheelchair, she ’almost’ looked like a pure maiden. If you’re ignoring her murderous gaze of course.

  "Since we’ve already gone this far, why don’t you put this on too? Make it a good commemorative picture." Nan Tian chuckled while presenting her a headband that had a white flower attached on the side.

  "Hais…… Just hand it over." Shiro grumbled while trying to raise her hand.

  "I’ll put it on for you." Nan Tian laughed before carefully placing it on her head.

  Pulling back her hair a little, he stepped back and nodded in satisfaction.

  "Say cheese~" He grinned.

  "Huh? Wait a f*cking mome-"

  *Snap

  ". . ." Hearing the snap that signified her shame, Shiro could only sigh and tilt her head back.

  While her face seemed serene, her mind was not.

  ’HIS A** IS MINE!’ She shouted out in her mind.

  Making sure that the picture was in high quality, Nan Tian sent a copy to Lyrica who only replied with a thumbs up emoji.

  Chuckling softly, he put his phone away and started to push Shiro’s wheelchair.

  "So where do you want to go?" He asked.

  "Just a stroll around this city, I guess. Speaking of which, where are we?" Shiro asked.

  "We’re in the city of Ichisver. To put it simply, it’s closer to Mount Everest." Nan Tian replied while opening the door.

  "But before we do anything else, I want to ask you something."

  "I’m guessing you want to ask about my decision with Estrella, right?" Shiro looked back.

  "……Yes. Normally, you should be pretty livid no? After all, she almost killed you. So why did you give her a chance to serve you?"

  "Well first of all, look at my current state? I can’t kill her even if I wanted to. She can kill herself but that would only be a waste since I’m not torturing. Second, I AM f*cking livid right now. But the fact that Yuki is still in danger makes Estrella a good asset for me. If the Duan bastard shows up, Estrella can at least guarantee that she can buy a bit of time if anything. Her mastery over realms is especially helpful. All in all, her uses as an asset far outweigh the satisfaction of killing or torturing her." Shiro shook her head.

  "So in the end, it’s for Yuki again no?"

  "Pretty much. Our main goal is to save her after all. Plus, with the new age coming up, having a few level 500’s with me is pretty beneficial. I’d be stupid if I killed her right here and now without thinking about the future. If I did that, I’d just be reducing my chances of success." Shiro shrugged to the best of her abilities.

  "I see…… How kind of you." Nan Tian smiled.

  "I wouldn’t say kind since I’m still using Estrella like a meat shield." Shiro shook her head.

  Seeing this, Nan Tian only chuckled since she was similar to how a tsundere would act at times.

  Pushing her wheelchair out of the apartment room carefully, Nan Tian thought about where they should visit first.

  "Do you want to have a look at the auction house? Maybe you can find something that you need in there." He suggested as Shiro nodded after a moment of thought.

  "Sure. Though to be honest, I’m only really lacking something with my Boreas’ Rebirth pill. I still have three items in my inventory that can help me for quite a while. Two of which are used on my weapon and armour." Shiro replied. She still had her Soul Weapon Upgrade and Soul Bound Armour upgrade that she hadn’t used yet. Thinking about these two, she figured that she should probably look for Helion once she rescues Yuki. That way, she could get another boost to her equipment.

  There was still the mysterious third cast of Eena that she hadn’t figured out yet. The second cast boosted 50% of her highest stat into raw power for 30 seconds which was extremely helpful considering the fact that she had 5.8 million points in her INT. 11.6 if you included her monster title.

  "Oh right, you mentioned that Keiko and Keomi barely had any sleep. How are they now?" Shiro asked.

  "Don’t worry, I’ve already told them that you’re awake now and that they can rest easy. They’re just catching up on the sleep that they’re lacking." Nan Tian replied as Shiro nodded her head.

  "That’s good. I don’t want them to be damaging their own health.�� Shiro replied as she checked to see if Attie was awake.

  Seeing that he was awake, she brought him out from the mana realm and placed him on her lap.

  "Want to go explore the city with me?" Shiro asked with a smile.

  Tilting his head for a moment, Attie nodded before shifting himself so that he was comfortable on her lap.

  Seeing Attie sit on Shiro’s lap so comfortably, Nan Tian couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

  "Why the hell are you even envious of a child for? I can practically feel your jealousy from here." Shiro glanced back as her smile twitched a little.

  *COUGH!

  "I don’t know what you’re on about. Anyways, let’s go to the auction house now." Nan Tian looked away while grabbing his mask from his inventory. Placing it over his face, he started to push Shiro towards the auction house.

  While they were making their way through the city, Shiro could feel countless eyes on her as they were rather curious about her identity. Feeling a little embarrassed due to her wheelchair along with the hairband, Shiro hid her face behind Attie’s body while Nan Tian laughed at her embarrassed face.

  "Oi, don’t laugh." Shiro warned with a hushed whisper.

  "Right right, I won’t laugh." Nan Tian replied but Shiro could tell that he had a smug grin on the other side of that mask.

  "As if I’d believe you." Shiro shook her head.

  Arriving at the auction house, Nan Tian showed them an emblem which made him an instant VIP and they were allowed to browse all of the wares available at this current time.

  Looking through the catalogue, Shiro furrowed her brows when they weren’t anything that caught her eyes. Naturally, she expected this. Unlike other adventurers, she didn’t need to worry about weapons or armour due to her current equipment along with her class.

  Checking the materials, she picked out one or two that Helion might like and bought them using her own money. Nan Tian did offer to buy it for her but Shiro refused. He did just save her life after using the best medicine in his vault after all.

  Once she was finished with the auction house, they proceeded to explore the other shops in Ichisver.

  After relaxing outside for most of the day, they returned back to the apartment in time to see Keiko and Keomi wake up.

  Despite her injured condition, Shiro still wanted to make some progress towards Mount Everest so they started to plan their next course of action.
