With Yin cheering on the table and Attie resting his head, feeling as though he was about to throw up, Shiro facepalmed.

  She wanted to interrupt but since they looked like they were having fun, Shiro decided not to rain on their parade.

  "Let’s go." Shiro sighed.

  "I thought you wanted to smack some sense into that bird." Nan Tian raised an eyebrow as Shiro shrugged.

  "I’ll do it later. It would be quite bad if I smacked her in front of all these people now wouldn’t it?" Shiro gestured at the hall full of food lovers chanting Yin’s name while she made purple fire dance to her will.

  Seeing that Yin was taking her celebration to the next level, Shiro decided that it was probably best to humble her a little.

  Snapping her finger, all of the fire flickered for a moment before disappearing.

  "Mn?" Blinking her eyes in confusion, Yin looked down at her hand.

  "That’s strange……" She muttered.

  "Where are the flames?" Someone shouted out as a few others agreed.

  "Che, you want flames? I’ll give you flames!" Yin pouted slightly as she activated a tier 5 magic circle. However, before it could activate, the flames were snuffed out in an instant.

  "Huh???" Scratching her head, Yin did a quick check up of herself.

  "How come there are no flames?" Yin muttered in confusion.

  Trying to conjure up some fire once more, it was snuffed out as Yin felt a pair of eyes glare at her.

  Sensing a chill down her spine, she immediately recognised who was glaring at her.

  She didn’t even need to turn around as she quickly straightened herself out.

  "Alright! Enough messing around. Everyone get back to work. We have important business to do." Yin shouted out.

  "But guild master, you said that we’re partying for a few days no? Plus, did we even do anything important to begin with?" Someone asked as Yin felt like strangling that guy.

  "Yes we do. We need to discover the delicacies of the world and improve life on Asharia." Yin coughed.

  "But didn’t you say that this guild was created to feed you? I mean we all agreed since it seemed pretty fun and we’re mostly just chefs." The same person replied as Yin held back the urge to smack him over the head.

  ’I’m going to die if you keep talking!!!’ She shouted out in her mind.

  "Urg…… Big sis, do we have to do work. I thought you said we were just going to party all day." Atesh sighed as he sat up.

  Seeing that Attie had now spoken up, Yin didn’t want to lie to him. They were indeed going to party. But if they keep partying, someone who’s name and preferences beginning with S will slaughter them.

  HOWEVER, if her younger brother wanted to party then party they shall!

  "Yes we are. Our important business is to clean up first so that we can let loose later once everything is prepared." Yin explained as Attie nodded.

  "You heard big sis, everyone let’s get packing." Attie waved his hand as there were some complaints in the crowd but everyone started to help out.

  Quickly camouflaging herself and walking over to Shiro, Yin swallowed nervously.

  "Cough. Hey mum." Yin said meekly as Shiro crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

  "Hey."

  "What brings you here today?" Yin asked with a forced smile.

  "I was just curious as to what was happening, but it seems like you’re enjoying yourself quite a bit huh? The food hall was created just to feed you now was it?" Shiro asked with a smile.

  "That’s slander. He’s just making stuff up. Of course the food hall is used to research more food for the rest of the city to enjoy." Yin replied as her eyes darted around for anyone that could help.

  Seeing Nan Tian, her eyes flickered, begging for help.

  "She’s not wrong. Most of the people in the food hall are chefs and they have their own restaurants. The dishes that get Yin’s seal of approval are the ones that sell out the fastest in the restaurants since everyone knows that Yin has a good taste for food. Since she’s your daughter too, her word has some weight behind it." Nan Tian sighed as he covered for Yin.

  Raising an eyebrow, Shiro glanced back at Nan Tian.

  *Cough

  "Don’t mind me. I’m just a spectator. Oh look, what a diligent lad cleaning up." Nan Tian corrected himself as he turned around.

  ’Traitor!’ Yin cried out in her mind.

  Understanding the feeling of Yin who was glaring at him right now, Nan Tian could only give her a silent prayer in his heart.

  ’Sorry, but your mother is too god damn scary! I don’t want to be receiving her ire.’


  Massaging her eyes, Shiro placed a hand on Yin’s shoulder.

  "Darling."

  "Yes mother dearest."

  "Why don’t we have a small chat in the training hall? I’m sure you’re also eager to reach tier 6 right? Despite having the power, what level are you right now?’ Shiro asked with a ’smile’.

  "Cough…… I’m almost the-"

  "What level are you darling?" Shiro narrowed her eyes whilst maintaining her smile.

  "…… …… 349 after the last fight." Yin muttered quietly.

  "Ah, only 349? What level is everyone else in our party?" Shiro ’gasped in surprise’.

  "Higher than 400." Yin replied as a silent tear dripped down her cheek. She knew that she’ll be training her ass off after this. Goodbye food, goodbye party, goodbye luxuries. This bird cannot keep you company after today.

  "Oh my? Higher than 400? Surely, if my daughter is such a hard worker, she wouldn’t fall behind this much now would she?"

  "No."

  "So why is it that you’re only 349? Where did all that food go? Surely you’re eating this much because you need energy for the fights right?"

  "Wuu…… fine I’m a gluttonous slacker. I’ll go and work hard." Yin cried as tears rolled down her cheeks.

  "Urg, give up those fake crocodile tears. Do you really think that’ll work?" Shiro clicked her tongue as Yin sighed and wiped away her tears.

  "Che, and here I was spending some of my time mastering the art of crying on command. If I used this on my guild members they’ll cook another round of food immediately." Yin pouted as Shiro grabbed her head and turned it towards her.

  "That’s only because of your mother’s looks. If you didn’t look this adorable would people pity you and give you food?"

  "Yes because my other mother is also adorable." Yin grinned as Shiro was speechless.

  "…… . Che, go find your sister. She’s training right now so the two of you can go get some levels while looking for that last piece that you need." Shiro sighed as Yin nodded her head.

  "I’ll be honest mum, no joking around this time but I would have been tier 6 sooner if I could actually find this last piece. The location keeps changing and it’s not exactly easy to keep a track of it." Yin sighed.

  "Go look for Misu and ask her. She’s got a good information network so she might have some useful information for you."

  "Mn alright."

  "Also, stop making your brother a slacker too." Shiro sighed as Yin stuck out her tongue and escaped into the rift.

  Feeling as though her vein was about to burst, a tier 8 magic circle appeared around Shiro’s wrist as she punched forward.

  *PING!!!!

  A crack suddenly formed in the air as Shiro pulled her hand back.

  Dragging Yin out of the rift, Shiro glared at her while everyone else looked towards them since there was now a fracture in the space in front of them.

  "Well…… this is certainly…… different. Mum, when did you learn how to break through dimensions to grab me?" Yin asked with a forced smile.

  "When you were too busy stuffing yourself. Now, will you promise me that you’ll be a good role model for your brother rather than just being a glutton?" Shiro asked as Yin pouted and sighed.

  "Fine. I promise I won’t urge him to become a glutton like me."

  "Good. You can go back now." Shiro nodded before shoving Yin back into the fracture.

  "Hey wai-"

  Before she could even complain, the fracture sealed up, ending her sentence.

  "Anyways, let’s go." Shiro dusted her hands off as she turned around and left the food hall.

  Shaking his head with a small smile, Nan Tian followed behind her.

  "So what’s the plan for the rest of your day?" Nan Tian asked since Shiro seemed to have a goal now.

  "I’m going to build a satellite system to gather information from around the world. If Yin needs to find that last piece, I’ll use the satellites to track it down using the same energy signal. I’ve already succeeded in breaking through the barriers to get to space so it shouldn’t be too hard to launch a few satellites. Plus, I might even send up some proper orbital cannons this time. They’re most effective from space after all." Shiro shrugged as Nan Tian smiled.

  Even though it wasn’t exactly relaxing, it was still better than going out and fighting all day. It was just like Shiro to spend her day off in this manner.
