Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Looking at the map, Shiro saw that they weren't too far from the city of Tokyo.

"Let's see, I should find out where the main headquarters of the Rising Sun is first…" Shiro muttered as that was their main reason for coming to Tokyo.

Finding out where the headquarters is located, Shiro then searched up the average level of the city. With their appearance and low level, it would be quite awkward if some peak B class individual with a big backing fell in love at first sight and tried to get them forcefully.

"Hmm… the average level is indeed 200. That's going to be a little troublesome now isn't it?" She furrowed her brows while flicking her wrist.

Activating her disguise skill, both Shiro and Lisandra's appearance was changed to that of a rather common face shape.

"There, that should do it." Shiro smiled.

With this, she could enter the city without worry since no peak level 200 would be willing to kidnap an average woman now would they?

Entering the city, Shiro was a little overwhelmed at how packed the city was. Filled with tall skyscr.a.p.ers and connecting bridges between buildings, the entire city of Tokyo was a sight to behold.

"Well damn, it's completely different to New York huh?"

"Mn, indeed…" Lisandra nodded since she didn't expect the infrastructure to be so advanced.

Hoping off their bike, they entered the city and made their way towards the headquarters.

Located in the centre of Tokyo, it was quite hard to miss the building. The top of it couldn't be seen unless one was far away.

Half of the tower was crafted from smooth sheets of metal that made it seem like the arm of a mech while the other half had towers protruding from the side that connected into what seemed to be a hanger of sorts.

From what they could see from outside the building, mounts of different species could be seen flying in and out ranging from flying manta rays, to giant falcons.

There were a few mounts that were especially eye catching since they were adorned with golden armour and had l.u.s.trous carriages attached to their body. Shiro could even see a few dragons resting in the docking bay as their giant bodies swayed gently with every breath they took.

"Well damn… Say, do you think they breed dragons for their meat here? It would be good to get some stat increases." Shiro whispered over to Lisandra.

"I hope so. I still remember when we ate some wyvern meat back when we first met." Lisandra replied while trying to stop herself from drooling since that meat was truly delicious.

"Indeed… ah crap, we're getting off track. Let's go see if I can meet my cousin I guess." Shiro shook her head and entered the main hall of the building.

Inside the main hall, Shiro noticed that it reminded her quite a lot of an airport with huge monitors of information scattered around and despite the sheer amount of people present in the hall, it didn't look full at all.

"Let's see…. Where's the reception…" Shiro muttered while trying to look around.

With so many small shops and counters around the place, each with their own queues, it was rather hard to find the main one.

While she could just look for the one in the centre as a start, there were unfortunately no counters for her to queue up in.

"Erm excuse me?" Shiro called out to a passer-by.

"Yes? Hello?" A man turned around in confusion.

"Do you happen to know where the reception is?" Shiro asked.

"Ah right, are you new? The reception is actually on the second floor. The first floor is for everyone to rent shops and exchange items. You see the giant elevator in the middle? Go up that and you should see the reception straight away." The man replied with a smile.

"I see… thank you very much. Have a nice day."

"You too."

Following the man's instruction, Shiro went up the crowded elevator and arrived at the second floor with Lisandra.

*Whistle~

Looking at the huge queue that almost extended all the way to the elevator despite how huge the room was, Shiro couldn't help but wonder what each of them required from the guild.

Sighing softly, Shiro scratched her head for a moment before turning to Lisandra.

"Seems like we have to wait a while. Is there anything you want to do?" She asked.

"Nah, let's just wait patiently for a while mum." Lisandra chuckled.

"Fine."

Waiting in the queue patiently, Shiro started to browse through clothes online with Lisandra as they picked out the ones that looked pretty good.

Shiro would then memorise the designs of each one so that she could use them for disguises later.

In the end, Shiro had to queue up for around one hour and a half before it was her turn.

"How can I help?" The receptionist asked with a smile.

Despite her fatigue, she still made sure to keep a smile for the adventurers.

"I want to ask if there's a way to pass on a message to the guild leader or perhaps ask for a meeting with her?" Shiro asked.

"Hmm… that's a bit difficult unless you're able to pass a few base requirements. There are thousands of people wanting to meet the faction master so this was put in place so that only the important ones can go through to her personally." The receptionist replied with an apologetic smile.

"I see, then what are the base requirements?" Shiro asked.

"Those are if you're ranked elder or above in a faction, have an important message for her from a high ranking staff of a large guild or last but not least, have an item that may grant you a meeting from her directly." The receptionist explained.

"Hmm… in that case then can you pass a message on for me?"

"Of course. But as to whether or not she is willing to meet you due to a message is something I can't guarantee." The receptionist smiled wearily.

"That's fine. Please tell her that the Guest Elder, Shiro, from Winter's Graze wants to organise a meeting with her to discuss a message from the guild leader. Here is her contact number if she's interested." Shiro said while handing her the phone number.

"Ok, I'll send her the message now." The receptionist nodded as she tapped away at her computer.

"Now, is there anything else? If not, please stand to the side while I attend to the next adventurer."

"No, that's all." Shiro shook her head.

Stepping aside of the queue, she started to leave the guild with Lisandra.

"Do you want to go to a restaurant first before going to the auction house?" Shiro asked with a smile.

"Sure, that sounds great." Lisandra nodded.

###

Sitting in front of her desk while tapping away at her doc.u.ment, Keiko looked out of the window and over the city of Tokyo.

She had long black hair that was swept to the side, black eyes and delicate lips.

Sighing softly, she leaned back while looking at the message laid out on the top of her desk.

Seeing such a mild expression with her appearance would make one wonder if she really is the rumoured 'hero' that kills without mercy.

"It's been so long now… when will she even look for me?" Keiko muttered with longing. Closing her eyes, she remembered Kuromi's valiant figure as she fought against a huge crowd of enemies. Despite their clear number advantage, weapons and levels, Kuromi had been able to handle them with ease and come out almost unscathed.

Unfortunately, it had been so long since she last saw her after she left the family.

Shaking her head, she decided to stop procrastinating and go back to work.

Looking at the flashing sign at the corner of her computer, she clicked on it and read the message.

*BANG!

Standing up in an instant, Keiko widened her eyes in excitement.

"YES! She's here! God that took ages!" She cried out in happiness and quickly grabbed her coat.

Pushing the door open with a resounding slam, Keiko dashed down to the reception in order to meet Kuromi.

Upon reaching the reception, she walked over to the receptionist as a commotion rang out from the faction master suddenly showing herself.

"Where is she? The girl who just gave you the message?" Keiko asked enthusiastically.

"Ah er, erm, she's gone out. I think she said something about going to a restaurant. I think they also mentioned going to the auction house." The receptionist replied in a mixture of shock and confusion.

"Give me her picture so that I can find her." Keiko ordered.

Doing as the faction master said, the receptionist gave her the image.

Seeing the picture, Keiko's figure instantly disappeared from the area.

Flickering through the faction hall, she dashed into the city in order to find Shiro.

'Kuromi, wait for me.'
