Looking at the list of items that she needed, s.h.i.+ro noticed that there were quite a few materials that she only needed 1 of. Knowing this, the materials were no doubt rare and the worst part is that she hardly knew where to get most of them.

The only one she knew how to obtain was Ascended Fae Shard and that was a piece of a high ranked fairy type monster. As for everything else, she had no idea.

There was also the problem of Celestial Trials since that was something she had never even heard of and she needed to complete 3 of these too!

"Hmm… that's quite bothersome." She muttered with a frown.

Shaking her head, she could only leave the dungeon and get what she can for now.

Since they were in the capital city of a 'major' country, there was bound to be some items that she needed in the auction house. Even if there wasn't, she could have a look through the royal library to see if she could find anything out about them.

Upon leaving the dungeon, she made her way to the auction house and searched up Ascended Fae Shard.

Finding a few at quite the high price, s.h.i.+ro didn't hesitate and bought one instantly for 30 silver Erins.

"Yikes, that's almost all of my silver Erins." s.h.i.+ro muttered while glancing at her money.

Currently, after buying the ascendant Fae Shard, she had 27 silver, 247 bronze and 5.95 trillion USD.

Quickly converting all of the USD into Erins, she got another 59 silver and 50 bronze, bringing her total up to 86 silver and 297 bronze Erins. However, compared to how much a single rebirth pill costs, she needed to have more than 5 times her current amount before she could even think about buying ONE pill.

'If I didn't have Nan Tian helping me get the pills, I would literally be stuck if I exclude the pills I got from the trial.' s.h.i.+ro thought with a sigh.

Shaking her head, she tried to search up the items that had Celestial in their name.

Thankfully, she was able to find one of the celestial items but the cost was much bigger than she had expected.

Worth an astounding 3 Large Silver Erins, the Celestial Mana Essence was placed in the VIP section of the auction hall. Meaning only the most prestigious people can obtain the item.

Even if she had the money, she couldn't buy it.

'But still… 3 large silvers… Even my pill costs 5 large silvers so that's 50 trillion. Which means a single piece of celestial item that I can possibly get right now is worth 30 trillion. G.o.d d.a.m.n…' s.h.i.+ro thought with a sigh.

{Maybe rob the winner?} Nimue suggested.

'I doubt the possibility of that succeeding. After the last two incidents, the auction house has prepared extra protection and security for the VIP's. These include even B ranked adventurers that can possibly break through the rift like what Keomi had done- Wait, speaking of Keomi, isn't she a branch master of one of the biggest factions? Therefore, it would only be natural that she had a VIP status in the auction house. Maybe I can get her to help me with this item.'

Nodding her head, she started to plan out her course of action. She was only going to be in Miriel for a few more days so she wanted to sort everything out first.

'Hmm let's see, so for now I need to do research about Celestial type items. Meaning another trip to the library. I also need Keomi's help to get the item from the auction house so I might as well visit her now. There isn't much else I need to do so it's only a matter of getting Iziuel before making my way back to Vericia so that I can find out how to contact Yuki. After that, I'll go to Tokyo j.a.pan to see the guild leader or rather, my apparent cousin.' s.h.i.+ro planned out mentally.

Making her way to Keomi's office once more, she was led directly outside her room since Keomi had informed the receptionists about s.h.i.+ro and told them that she was a VIP.

However, before she could knock on the door, she heard the sound of the table breaking and shouting.

"G.o.d d.a.m.n IT! I told you I have no f*cking clue on who the person is. Plus, even if I did, you think I'll tell you just because you're from the government! Don't f*cking kid me!" Keomi roared out in anger while s.h.i.+ro raised an eyebrow.

"Is… your branch master always like this?" s.h.i.+ro asked the receptionist.

"Mn? Unfortunately yes. Her temper is rather short when dealing with people she's unfamiliar with." The receptionist said with an apologetic smile.

'Makes sense. She was quite aggressive the first time we met. That being said, I did rob her of her item after all.'

Gesturing for the receptionist to leave, s.h.i.+ro knocked on the door slightly before opening it.

Seeing two agents that were in suits and a furious Keomi in front of a broken table, s.h.i.+ro understood that these two must have been the government workers.

[Harris LVL???]

[Tom LVL ???]

Seeing that they've hidden their levels and cla.s.s, s.h.i.+ro only shrugged her shoulders as she had expected as much.

"Ah si-s.h.i.+ro. You've come at a good moment. Can you tell these two 'gentlemen' that I was with you when the whole thing happened with the Rogue a.s.sa.s.sin? They're insistent on me knowing who the a.s.sailant was and even thinks I'm the helper." Keomi asked with a smile.

With s.h.i.+ro here, they could at least kill the two if need be and just blame it on their att.i.tude. It's not like the government would declare war on their faction just because of two workers.

"Say what you will but we've gathered enough evidence to suggest that there's a high possibility of you being the helper. After all, there was only you and this girl here at the scene when the third prince started his blood bath." Harris scoffed.

"Plus, the same goes for you. Just because you're from the top 5 factions doesn't mean the government is afraid of you. You're just a low tier branch master who is many times weaker than the other branch masters. I doubt they'll go so far just for you." Tom threatened as his killing intent started to leak out a little.

Feeling a little irked by their att.i.tude to her sister, s.h.i.+ro suppressed the urge of her making them into skewers instantly.

"Gentlemen, I can prove that she was with me during the period of which the a.s.sailants killed the first prince. But before we do that, how about a small agreement first." s.h.i.+ro asked with a dangerous smile.

"Tch, do you think we'll go for an agreement with you? Plus, what gives you the authority to do so." Tom scoffed however Harris nudged him a little.

"Go on, I'm listening. As for whether or not we'll take the agreement will depend on the contents." Harris frowned.

"Oh it's simple really. Just compensate us for the hara.s.sment as well as emotional damage so long as I can prove her innocence." s.h.i.+ro chuckled as the duo looked at each other.

"Fine, I don't see the problem with that. However, how much compensation are we talking about?" Harris asked.

"5 Large Silvers. How's that? Surely it should be within your grasp no?" s.h.i.+ro asked with a smile.

"PFT! 5 Large Silvers!? Are you trying to make us kill you right now!" Harris warned dangerously.

Hearing their response, s.h.i.+ro's smile only grew wider.

'Good, that means their levels shouldn't be that much higher if 5 large silvers is hard for them. At least this opens up the option of killing them should they take it too far.' She thought to herself.

"Fine fine, how about 1 Large silver then? Surely that should be within your grasp right?" s.h.i.+ro 'shrugged helplessly'.

"Hmph, what if you can't prove her innocence? What can you offer that's equal to 1 Large SIlver? Trades need to be equal in value after all."

"Intel in regards to the Rogue a.s.sa.s.sin. As for what intel, that can wait." s.h.i.+ro smiled.

Looking at each other, the two eventually nodded since their main goal was to get information anyways.

"Sure, we'll take the bet. Now then, how will you prove her innocence?"
