"Should we investigate a little?" Nan Tian asked with a smile since he could see that Shiro was clearly interested. If she's distracted by this, she could take her mind off Fei Ling's death and it would help her greatly.
"Hmm… Yes we should. We'll go along with the guild for now until we spot anything that might be of interest. I'm thinking that there might be a large battle since demons are swarming in despite the clear disadvantage. Perhaps they want to retrieve something that is important to them." Shiro nodded her head.
Waiting around for a bit, she listened as the guild master started to explain a few roles for the adventurers to do.
"First role is the attackers. We'll dispatch you to intercept the demons that are approaching the city in order to slow their advance. As you are not researching the actual site that has appeared, your rewards are going to be different due to how many of you there are. However, you have my word that you'll be rewarded to a satisfactory level.
"The second role is scout. You'll be tasked to venture inside the site and find out what's happening along with relaying the information back to us through the third group of people. The checkpoints. These will be people who are very fast and can disengage from a fight easily. You'll be tasked with passing on the information in case there are some jamming involved. If not, you'll assist both sides of the battlefield. Whether that be the scouting team or the attacking team, you need to be ready to do both." The guild master explained as the adventurers looked at each other with a frown.
Obviously, they wanted to go to the site since it gave them a chance to enter the national treasury but they also knew that they might not be able to figure out the situation. On the other hand, if they join the attacking team, they're basically guaranteed a reward.
It's similar to giving up a part time job in order to try the lottery so not many were willing to go to the site. But at the same time, they knew that this was an amazing chance for them to get something amazing in their life. Whether that be inside the site or from the national treasury, anything that helped their survival was welcomed.
"What role are you thinking of picking?" Nan Tian asked with a smile.
"I'm thinking of scouting. I'm in a state where EXP is good but not needed so I don't need to go to the attacker. What about you?" Shiro asked.
"I'm going to do what you are doing since it's more interesting that way. The small fry demons that are coming here won't provide me with any EXP so it's a waste for me to use my time on them. I'd rather spend it on you." He smiled as Shiro rolled her eyes.
"What about you darling? Do you want an attacker role since you need the EXP?" Shiro asked.
"Me? Hm… Nah. Since you two are going to be scouts, I'll join you. Maybe we'll be surprised and find out more about my race." Yin shrugged with a small smile. Since Shiro had just lost a good friend recently, Yin wanted to make sure that she was near Shiro so that she could support her.
While she understood that Shiro was mentally strong, there was only so much a person could endure. The chances are low but never zero. Yin wanted to make sure that she could avoid that low chance.
"Since all three of us are going to be scouts, let's go over to the guild master and report our choices." Shiro smiled and stood up.
Ignoring the clamour that could be heard as people were discussing what role they should pick, Shiro walked calmly towards the counter.
Naturally, the guild master noticed this and looked towards the trio with curiosity.
"Guild master, we like to take the scout role." Shiro said with a small smile.
"I see, please register with the young miss by my side and we'll provide you with some basic equipment to get ready." The guild master nodded.
Looking at Shiro, he couldn't help but think that he knew her features from somewhere but decided to ignore it for now. He was the guild master and seeing faces every day was common for him.
Walking over to the young miss that the guild master had pointed to, Shiro brushed her hand against the computer and made a few fake ID's for all of them.
"Done, please follow my co-worker to another room so that you may receive the items." The lady smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

After making their way to a second room, they were given a set of ear pieces and a 'goody bag' that had a few research equipment within them so that they could scout out the site properly.
Of course, Shiro didn't need all this since she could make much more advanced versions with the blueprints she had in her mind.
Leaving the guild hall with a map that they were supplied with, Shiro could see the entirety of the northern area along with a faint red circle marking where the site is located.
There were even a few marks suggesting points of interest and the direction of the demon's that were approaching the location.
Scanning the map for a few moments, Shiro furrowed her brows in suspicion.
From the layout of the area, she could faintly make out the image of a magic circle but it was very abstract. If anything, it could be described as a blind guess but she knew that there was no coincidence when it came to situations like this.
'I can probably see more if I released a drone to give me a birds eye view of the location.' Shiro thought to herself and started to make her way up north with Nan Tian and Yin.
"Before we enter the site, I want to take a moment to scout out the surrounding areas. There are faint signs showing the presence of a magic circle but it's not clear." Shiro said while glancing back at Nan Tian.
"Sure, do you need my help?" He offered.
"No it's fine. I got it covered with my second class. If anything, just keep an eye out on the surroundings. There's the chance that a few of the faster moving demons might have reached this area by now, we don't know." Shiro shook her head as Nan Tian agreed.
Dashing through the city, they arrived at the northern gates and left the area. Upon leaving the area, they were greeted with what seems to be a wasteland of sorts that was filled with a mix of red sand and hills that had bones sticking out from the ground.
The scent of iron was heavy as Shiro couldn't help but flinch a little due to the smell. Since her senses were extremely sharp, the impact of this was much harsher on her compared to other people.
"Take this, it might help you with weakening the iron smell." Nan Tian said, pulling out a locket.
However, Shiro only shook her head.
"Don't worry about it too much. It's only the scent of blood. I'll get used to it. Diminishing my sense of smell would actually be bad since you don't know when it would come in handy." Shiro replied.
Making their way through the wastelands, they were ambushed by a few of the monsters unique to this city but they were swiftly dealt with by Yin.
After obtaining Fei Ling's final spark, Yin's fire seemed to have become even more potent as a single swipe of her fire would reduce a portion of the monster's body to ash.
However, there was something strange that Shiro had noticed. On top of reducing their body to ash, she could spot a faint layer of ice forming on the body. Once she had discovered this, she paid more attention to the next time Yin used her flames and discovered an interesting property.
Before the fire would come into contact with the monster, ice would form and act as a fuel of some kind. The moment the fire comes into contact with that ice, a highly volatile reaction would occur and the monster's body would be reduced to ash. Understanding that the ice was used as fuel for the fire, Shiro couldn't help but wonder if this was inherited from her.
After all, Fei Ling was the source of Yin's fire. So, the source of the ice could potentially originate from her.
Thinking of this, Shiro couldn't help but shake her head with a soft smile. To think that she actually had a child with another woman despite their mismatched anatomy was a rather curious phenomenon. Granted, all she did was provide blood for an egg but it was still rather strange.
Dismissing the thoughts from her mind, she made her way to the site without any detours.
