Travelling through the rift, Shiro glanced towards her Mana Realm and saw that both Nimue and Iziuel were looking around in surprise.

"What are you looking at? It almost looks like you've seen a ghost." Shiro called out with a chuckle.

"Shiro! What happened? All of your links are healed! The mana realm is flooding with mana!" Nimue asked with shock all over her face.

"Mn… It was one of my rewards for completing the quest." Shiro replied while jumping out of the rift.

Activating her disguise, she made herself seem like an average city girl before renting a room so that she could rest in.

Closing her eyes, she sent herself into the mana realm.

"Right then, this should be easier for you to ask questions right?" Shiro smiled before gesturing for Atesh to come to her side.

Picking Atesh up, she smiled and pinched his cheeks causing him to furrow his brows before burrowing his head into her shoulder which caused her to laugh.

"So what happened in there? For some reason, we were cut off from you and before we knew it, everything here changed. Your energy is slightly different and we've even received an upgrade of our own." Iziuel asked while floating over to her side.

"Well, I completed the quest like I said. Surprisingly, I was able to meet big sis Kuromi who… unfortunately was not able to come out with me. I'm sure she would have enjoyed playing with you Attie." Shiro said while patting Atesh's head.

"Wait, isn't Kuromi…"

"Yeah, she's the previous owner of this body. Let's just say we're two halves of the same coin. The same soul connected from different times." Shiro smiled.

"I see…" Nimue nodded.

"Anyways, I want to try something first." Shiro said while walking over to the ice island.

Since Atesh was a fire spirit, being near the ice island made him a little uncomfortable as Shiro created a blanket of fire for him which made him cuddle into her embrace some more.

"How cute." Shiro chuckled before focusing on the main task at hand.

Previously, she had recycled a skill or rather, talent called Trickster that allowed her to act in the manner of anyone without flaws. If she was to combine this with a golem of sorts, she could bring Kuromi back.

However, before she could even start on her project, a part of her told her that this was not the same. Even if she succeeds, this golem would not have Kuromi's soul. It's a fake that would only do what she told it to do.

Kuromi was gone, she was a part of her now since they're the same person. They weren't meant to be apart to begin with.

*Sigh…

Sighing softly, she dropped her hand and shook her head.

"Never mind. Let's see… what shall I do now then. I still need to give mana to the lotus that refuses to bloom then I also need to use the Soul Sword Upgrade and the Soul Bound Armour upgrade." Shiro said before looking back at the two spirits that resided in her mana realm.

"Do you want to come out into the real world? I'll be taking Attie around so it might be a good chance for you two to come out too." Shiro asked.

Looking at each other, both Nimue and Iziuel nodded their heads.

"Sure but do we want to put some disguises on?" Nimue asked.

"Hmm… you know what, sure. I'll change my disguise a little so I look like I'm Attie's mother." Shiro grinned.

Focusing back to the real world, she waved her hand as fire, water and leaves swirled around in her palms. Pushing them out, they slowly formed the figures of Atesh, Nimue and Iziuel.

"Right then, first things first, I need to meet up with everyone else. I suppose telling both Keiko and Keomi that I've got my memories back should give them a pleasant surprise." Shiro muttered with a smile.

Pulling out her phone, she sent a simple message to the two of them.

[Shiro: I've got my memories back now.]

Immediately upon sending them this message, she was bombarded by quite a few replies.

[Keomi: REALLY!?!?! You got your memories back big sis?!]

[Keiko: Holy sh*t!]

Spending some time to prove this to the two of them, she scheduled a meeting back in Vericia once she met up with the rest of the party.

"Right then, last time I told Lyrica and the others who haven't classed up to meet Silvia, Chen Yu and Madison once they've classed up in order to level up. I wasn't exactly in the trial for a long time so they should still be doing the tasks."

Sending a message to Lyrica, she asked them about where they were right now.

[Lyrica: Oh we're in a city called Epona. We've managed to class up so we're just levelling up right now. Chen Yu, Silvi and Madi have already reached level 115 while me, Yin and Aarim are level 105. Lisandra has just levelled up to 101 so I'm guessing that you've managed to complete your trial.]

[Shiro: Yes I did. I hope that her evolution didn't cause too much of a problem now did it?]

[Lyrica: Well… If being pestered by the church everyday is a big problem then I suppose I can only say yes.]

[Shiro: Wait what?]

[Lyrica: You see, in her moment of classing up, everyone in the city of Epona saw a golden halo surround her from the sky. Not only that, all of the holy items and religious priests reacted to her presence in a way that had them kneel down and bow to her in worship. By the time they realised what had happened, they called her the true angel, messenger of god.]

[Shiro: . . . Ok I'm heading over to Epona right now.]

Messaging Keomi and Keiko about the change of plans, she had the two of them make their way towards Epona instead.

"Are you ok?" Nimue asked as she could see annoyance in Shiro's expression.

"Let's just say my daughter's caught the attention of the church due to her class and race. With her identity as an angel being uncovered, the church is pestering her all day long." Shiro replied as she quickly searched up the city of Epona and saw a video of Lisandra's class up.

'No wonder the church is pestering her.' Shiro thought to herself since she could see the holy light being radiated from Lisandra. Even though she wasn't there; she could practically feel the presence of a higher being just by looking at the video.

Clicking her tongue, she brought up the map and looked at where the city of Epona was.

"Hmm… Right now, we're in Mount Fuji. To get to Epona, we'll need to leave Japan and go further north, past the elven country. If they continued north, they'd reach the country of Russia but Epona wasn't that far up. It was in the border country that was wedged just between Japan and Russia.

Known as Rilsa, this was a rather small country but it could hold its own due to its high level adventurers that use the dungeons there. Most of them are focused on using the dungeons to level up so they aren't too bothered by anything that's happening in the outside world as long as it doesn't harm them.

They welcome foreigners as long as they pass a test of strength to prove that they're powerful enough to stay in the country.

There's only one exception to this and that's the church. Since the adventurers are fighting every day, there are no doubts that some will be close to death. If not for the priests provided by the church, many of them would have died so they feel indebted to the church. Therefore, they allow them to set up a branch and have new priests come into the city without a test of strength.

The city of Epona was not too far from the capital of Rilsa as it had its own high level dungeons. If one had to describe it, it was a beginner friendly place that allowed those that just reached B rank/Tier 4 to have a decent time in levelling up.

Looking at the map, Shiro guessed that it would take her around two days if she was to be riding her motorbike at full speed. However, this was advised against since there are a few dangerous areas blocking the path between Mount Fuji and Epona. Namely the Shihai trenches that had opened up after the world was changed to accommodate the system and dungeons.

The Shihai trenches contained high levelled earth type monsters that could create new ravines with a snap of a finger. The only reason that they haven't destroyed a large portion of land is because they're keeping each other at bay. The moment one of the monsters tries to destroy their home, the others will spring into action, forming this delicate balance within the Shihai trenches.

Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro decided to hire a few adventurers with the teleport shrines to Rilsa in order to make their journey a little easier.
