Chapter 357 Spiritual Connection

After spending the day in New York, Shiro gathered everyone near the exit of New York. Raoul, Jonas and even Liam had come to send them off since it may take a while for them to meet again.

"Once again Raoul, good luck in your training. Jonas, stay healthy and you too Liam." Shiro gave them a wave before hopping onto Yin’s back. Naturally, this was when she is in phoenix form or else someone would have had some problems in regards to the scene.

Waiting for everyone else to say their goodbyes, Shiro checked the map and made sure she knew which route to take for them to make it back to Vericia.

Giving the trio one last wave, the party set off to Vericia.

"What?"

"We’ve never actually done a out of dungeon or rather, a natural hunt now have we? The only thing we’ve done is dungeons, raids or emergency battles should the situation arise. For as long as we’ve been together, we haven’t tried natural hunts of monsters in the wild."

". . . Holy sh*t you’re right." Madison looked at Shiro in realisation.

For parties, natural hunts were just as, if not more rewarding than dungeon hunts. They gain the experience of hunting strong monsters in the wild that use the surroundings to their advantage.

Normally, they would have done this earlier but due to the situations they were in, going for natural hunts were problematic. In New York, they had the faction recruitment which took their priority. In Cairosa, the slums and the underwater ruins stopped them from doing the natural hunt. In Vericia, they were focused on guild tasks while Shiro had obtained Lisandra.

Last but not least, they had Miriel where they had to be careful since conflict between the princes could have broken out at any moment so leaving on a natural hunt would be counterproductive.

"Well... are we going to hunt now?" Lyrica asked.

"Hmm... not really. I’m just mentioning it so that we can keep it in our minds. After all, a natural hunt is quite productive in terms of your battle experience." Shiro shook her head. There was a time and place for everything and right now is not the time. If she could help it, she’d rather not delay the process of finding out more about herself. Plus, Yuki’s probably got more information on Duan Han Ying, who is Kuromi’s killer.

"I see. Do you want me to keep an eye out for any decent natural hunts while we’re in Vericia?" Lyrica asked since she knew that Shiro was only going back to Vericia so that she could find out more about ’herself’.

"That would be helpful. Preferably something that’s on the way to Japan since we’ll be going there right after this." Shiro nodded.

"Got it." Noting it down mentally, Lyrica nodded her head.

The rest of the trip to Vericia was relatively relaxed with some small talk along the way. For those that were a bit tired, they had the other party members look out for them in case they fall off.

"Tell me about it." Aarim nodded while rubbing her back tiredly.

"Not much we can do about it. Anyways, you lot can do whatever you want for the next few hours. I’m going to quickly sort out what I need then we can make our way to Japan." Shiro smiled.

Saying goodbye, Shiro made her way to the elder’s tower.

"Is anyone home?" Shiro called out with a smile.

"Yeah yeah, I’m her-? Shiro? What in the bloody hell happened to your body!?" Natash widened her eyes in shock at her new appearance.

"Oh this? You haven’t seen me after I went through a few upgrades have you? Like the new look?" Shiro grinned while giving her a small pose.

"Damn girl, what caused you to change like this? Got someone ya like? Maybe the blossoming of love made your body change to adapt so that your partner doesn’t look like a damn lolicon or something." Natash chuckled.

"Not exactly. Anyways, do you have a way that you can help me contact the faction master? I got some important information I need to ask her about." Shiro asked.

"Ah I see. She told me that you may need it soon but are you sure you want it now? Yuki did say that there is only one chance you get at contacting her." Natash frowned.

’Hmm... it will take a long time to reach B class considering the items that I need. HOWEVER, since I’m at 38% recovered, I should be more or less ready for anything that she throws at me.’

"Yeah, it’s rather urgent after all." Shiro nodded.
