Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 464 Small Conflict

Chapter 464 Small Conflict

Wondering around in Terumi, Shiro spent the entire time entertaining Attie and taking him to places he would be interested in.

During this period, she had also noticed her level go up a few times, telling her that Lisandra was clearing dungeons with the rest of the party.

Of course, to avoid some trouble, Shiro disguised herself and the three spirits so that they looked like an inconspicuous family that was having a relaxing day out.

"Say, should we get Attie some clothes? All he has is what his fire solidifies into and your disguises." Nimue asked while playing around with Atesh.

"Hm... perhaps. Let’s go find a clothes shop for him then. It would be good if they had monster cloth so it won’t break." Shiro nodded her head as she did a quick search for a nearby store that sold what they wanted.

Finding three stores that fit their requirements, they started to make their way through each of them.

The first store had a wide variety but nothing of great quality while the second were a bit too flamboyant. As for the third, well, they had a small issue with how the group looked.

Since they wanted to be inconspicuous, their disguises made them seem rather common.

With the third store being one that served high level adventurers and rich folks, it was only natural that they didn’t think the group could buy any of their outfits.

"Get out of here. If you’re just going to window shop, go somewhere else, you’re disturbing the people in the store. Looking at how you are, I doubt you can even afford a pair of pants from here, never mind a full outfit." The receptionist scoffed with disdain.

Raising her eyebrow, Shiro could feel her annoyance soar within a single moment.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down before looking back at the receptionist.

’Big sis Kuromi always told me to try resolving things peacefully so this should be a good practice.’

"Who knows, everyone is hunting monsters nowadays. Surely you shouldn’t underestimate how much we could have earned despite looking like this." Shiro said with a smile.

"Heh~ You really think you can afford what we have huh? Do you know that this stuff is made from the finest monster cloth that won’t break at all. While it does not protect you from attacks, it guarantees that you still look presentable in a fight. Just imagine the shame of fighting nude because a fire breath destroyed your clothes. Therefore, do you really think that you can afford what we have despite the large demand for this kind of clothing?" The receptionist asked sarcastically.

"Yep. Just tell me how much one would cost for Attie." Shiro nodded while gesturing to Atesh.

"100 Large Silv-"

*BANG!

Slamming down a bag that was filled with 100 large silver Erins, Shiro kept her nonchalant smile as the receptionist widened her eyes before calming herself down.

"What I mean is 100 Large Silver Erins for a single piece while it’s 300 for a whole set."

Keeping a smile on her face, Shiro then took the 100 Large Silvers back before placing down 3 Gold Erins.

"Ah of course, let me show you the outfits now." The receptionist quickly smiled while sweeping the coins away.

Keeping her smile, she brought them to where they sold clothes for children.

However, upon arrival, Shiro was quite disappointed by what she saw.

While it was technically made from monster cloth, it was quite poor in quality. It had been changed so that the cloth would be stretched over a large surface area, making it feel flimsy.

"Is this really what’s worth 3 Gold?" Shiro asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course." The receptionist smiled but she knew that was complete bullsh*t.

At best, the clothes she was showing Shiro were only worth around 10 Large silvers mainly due to the monster cloth. She had increased it by 10 times in order to rip her off but since she could produce 100 Large Silver’s without a problem, it meant she could produce more hence why she asked for 3 Gold or rather, 300 Large Silvers instead.

"Hm, I see. Well it seems like it’s a little expensive for my tastes after all. I’d like to have my three gold back please." Shiro asked as she was a little annoyed by the fact that this sh*tty piece of cloth would cost so much. If it was good quality, she wouldn’t mind spending a lot for Attie since she could always earn it back whenever she wanted. But even if that’s the case, she did not want to use her money on crap products.

"Oh I’m sorry, but since you gave us money, it’s policy that you either buy something or get a third of your money back. In other words, it is pick an outfit or take back one gold." The receptionist smiled. Since they had level 150 guards protecting the store, it wasn’t difficult for them to reinforce the ’rules’ if needs be.

"I-"

"Do remember that we have several level 150 high quality guards around the place so don’t try to pull anything funny."

"Oi, was that a threat?" Shiro asked as her smile faded away.

Feeling her aura turning a little hostile, Nimue knew that things might turn ugly since this was the real Shiro. Or rather, as she liked to call it, demon on the battlefield.

"Not quite a threat but rather a friendly reminder."

"Hou~ I see. Quite ballsy for a sh*tty receptionist don’t you think?" Shiro replied as she was clearly annoyed by this person.

"I see, if that’s you how want to be then... Guards!" The receptionist called out as five tier 4 magic circles surrounded Shiro.

However, before they could even activate, Shiro snapped her fingers as 5 copies of Ataraxia appeared around her and smashed the magic circles apart.

"Seriously, after big sis became a part of me, I wanted to respect her wishes but it seems like I’m not suited to be peaceful to begin with." Shiro muttered as she stomped down with her foot.

Her hair fluttered from her aura as she flicked her wrist and five guards suddenly appeared before her.

Shocked at how they were forcefully teleported next to her, the guards quickly attacked her.

"Kietoma." Shiro commanded as everything in a 5 meter radius around her froze up for a single second. This was a skill she had developed back in Kyoto as everything that was frozen in place would also receive a 20% decrease to their defences, making her counter attack all the more powerful.

In a single second, she was able to surround them with a multitude of attacks that would launch at a moment’s notice.

Amplifying her Dominating Presence passive along with some killing intent, she waved her hands as swords stabbed deeply into their thighs and pinning them to the ground. Naturally, this included the receptionist since she had tried to scam them.

"ARG!!!" Crying out in pain, the receptionist had tears in her eyes as she quickly pleaded for mercy.

Seeing this, Shiro couldn’t help but think back to the moment when the system took Kuromi away from her without sparing her a single thought.

Sighing softly, she waved her hand and dispersed the attacks.

"I don’t exactly want Attie to see too much bloodshed so just give me the money and I’ll be on my way." Shiro said as she glanced at the guards. Checking to see if there were still signs of hostility in their eyes or not, she decided to spare them if they’d given up. But if they were still hostile, then let’s just say she’s already given them a second chance.

Nodding her head frantically, the receptionist quickly ran over the counter and gave Shiro all the money she could find.

"I don’t need that much. Just give me the three gold back." Shiro sighed since she wasn’t here to rob anyone.

Confused as to why she would only want 3 gold back despite what had happened, the receptionist nodded her head and gave her the three gold.

Leaving the store, Shiro walked along the street with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"So why did you spare them? I’m honestly curious since I thought you would have dealt with them quickly and cleanly. I know you said that you don’t want Attie to see too much bloodshed but there are probably a million ways for you to kill them without blood being spilt everywhere." Nimue asked curiously.

"Obviously that’s because Shiro’s a good girl." Iziuel chipped in since she believed that Shiro wasn’t cruel since she had saved her from the elven country and had even chosen a peaceful way to do it.

"Well... let’s just say I wanted to respect my big sister’s wishes." Shiro smiled before going towards a hotel to rent a room for the night. If no one accepted their request tomorrow, she’d probably go on a road trip with the three spirits.
