With their short fight at the border, the rest of the journey was rather peaceful since no demon guards even approached them which made sense considering that they were already past the border.

Compared to the southern border, the skies of the eastern border seemed much darker with quite a large wasteland that had signs of battle which acc.u.mulated over the years.

If they continued to drive for another 3 hours, they would reach the first small scale city since the eastern borders were much bigger than the southern borders. While the southern borders had width, it didn't extend too deep into the demon continent.

For the eastern border, it was roughly twice as big as the southern borders.

Naturally, the centre is the biggest area, but it wasn't a concern right now since they would be conquering the eastern border first.

To avoid some trouble at the first city so that they didn't need to fight at all, the party increased their mana signal so that they didn't seem like weaklings. After all, in the demon continent, the weak is preyed upon especially in a place like this so making themselves seem weaker is akin to asking for a fight rather than avoiding one.

After two and a half hours of travel, Shiro saw the distant city and dismissed her car.

Walking the rest of the distance by foot, they entered without too much hassle. Unlike human cities, the guards here didn't ask for any forms of identification nor did they do much in terms of patrol.

In Shiro's eyes, claiming this city would be way too easy since the security was lax.

"Let's go to an inn right now. I want to ask them about the higher ranks." Shiro suggested since she was planning on challenging rank 6 to gauge their strength then figure out what to do from there.

"Sure, we won't be staying here for long though. Well probably spend the night here since it's getting pretty late." Madison said since they were on the road for quite a while.

Looking around for an inn of sorts, they were disappointed to find a few shabby buildings since most would just make their way to a bigger city rather than this remote one that was near the southern borders.

In the end, they decided that they would stay at a house that Shiro makes. Making their way to the nearest bar, they decided that they should get some information there.

While they were walking over, Silvia decided to send a message to a private group chat.

[Silvia: So then, since we're going to a bar, aren't you curious about what Shiro is like drunk? I know her alcohol tolerance is very high but what if I get rid of that?]

[Madison: I'm curious but I don't think it's going to affect her. For someone her level, I'm pretty sure she has a resistance to poison such as alcohol.]

[Silvia: That is true. Urg… I just want to see her drunk for once. I mean surely you're curious too right?]

[Lyrica: She's not wrong. I am indeed quite curious about it.]

[Silvia; Maybe we should ask her what she does to have a high resistance to alcohol. If it's something we can't do anything about I guess we'll have to ignore it.]

Sensing that the party seemed to be planning something, Shiro raised her eyebrows and glanced over. When she did, the party only smiled acting as though nothing happened.

". . ." Staying silent, Shiro turned around.

'They're definitely planning something!' Shiro thought in her mind since it wasn't often that the party would act like that.

"Say Shiro." Silvia smiled and walked up to her.

"Mn? What is it?" Shiro glanced back at Silvia.

"How do you have a strong alcohol tolerance? Is it a skill or genetics?" Silvia asked as Shiro paused for a moment.

"Hmm… It's a mix of skills and nanobots. The skills increase my tolerance towards negative effects and my nanobots detoxify me I suppose so I can't exactly be poisoned. Though if the poison is strong enough, I'd still be affected to some extent." Shiro explained with a shrugged.

"However, that chance is low since my resistances are close to 100%."

Hearing this, Silvia could only sigh.

"What? Were you lot planning to get me drunk or something?" Shiro asked with a raised eyebrow.

"A little." Silvia coughed embarrassingly since she knew that if she lied now Shiro would fine out anyways.

"Well to be honest I've always been curious as to what I would act like if I was drunk so I don't mind cancelling some skills myself. Since I'm with you lot, I think I can trust you enough to get drunk." Shiro smiled.

Previously, she didn't want to be drunk since being drunk means she could be killed with ease. Without her poison resistance, her drink could be spiked.

But with Silvia around who could detoxify quickly, she could relax.

"Really?" Silvia asked with surprise since she didn't think someone strict like Shiro would actually agree on being drunk.

"Mn, of course that's on the condition that we get the intel first. Once we get the intel we can go relax at the house or something since I'm not fond of the idea of having strangers see me drunk for the first time." Shiro shrugged as the party agreed with her idea.

Entering the bar, they each split up and started to ask around for information regarding the higher ranking candidates.

However, they weren't able to obtain much since most of the people here didn't know much about them. All they know is that they were strong much to their disappointment.

In the end, they decided to buy some alcohol and make their way out the city.

Creating a rather large house with a beautiful living room, the party sat down with all of the alcohol and started partying.

Using celestial path on herself as well as stopping the nanobots from detoxifying the drinks, Shiro started to drink with the rest of the party.

But even after drinking for a while, Shiro only felt a little tipsy but that was it.

"Mn, seems like Shiro's alcohol tolerance is high even without the skills." Isilia chuckled as she had a blush on her face. She could barely stand anymore and was currently using the table as a crutch.

"Maybe it's just genetics. But we've got plenty of alcohol right now." Shiro smiled while glancing at the rest of the drinks that were piled up in the corner while being cooled by her magic.

"Shiiiroooooo~"

Hearing a cry behind her, Shiro smiled and glanced back to see a drunk Lyrica hugging her from behind and resting her chin on her shoulder.

"I thought you wanted to see me drunk? How come you're drunk yourself?" Shiro asked with a chuckle.

"It taste good." Lyrica smiled happily as her eyes seemed dazed.

"Mn it does. Silvia did a good job in buying the nice ones." Shiro nodded her head since there were a few ciders mixed in with the other drinks that had nice fruity tastes.

"Shiro shiro." Lyrica called out as Shiro looked over.

"Mn? What is it?"

Feeling Lyrica suddenly kiss her on the cheeks, Shiro raised her eyebrow in surprise before patting her head.

"Oh my." Isilia chuckled.

"You're too drunk, go to the sofa." Shiro smiled softly.

"Mn, if I went for the lips you would dodge." Lyrica grinned before flopping herself on the sofa.

"How bold." Silvia laughed from the background. She wasn't drunk yet since she had been detoxifying herself. After all, she wanted to see Shiro drunk.

Rolling her eyes, Shiro had another drink.

Just as she took a sip, she snapped her fingers, and a cuff appeared around Yin's wrists.

"Ehhhhhh I want to drink too." Yin pouted since Shiro had been stopping her from drinking all night.

"You're still a kid. No drinking. Learn from your sister." Shiro laughed as Lisandra had been drinking sodas and juices.

"Che, stingy." Yin sighed and walked away.

Right now, Nimue, Iziuel, Estrella and Atesh were enjoying themselves since it would be a bit boring if Shiro let them stay in the mana realm.

Drinking a few more, Shiro swayed a little as her vision started to blur.

"Mn… it's a bit uncomfortable." Shiro muttered as she would occasionally close her eyes.

Seeing this, Isilia understood that Shiro was beginning to feel drunk.

"Do you want to drink a few more?" Isilia asked with a grin.

"Mn… maybe." Shiro said while standing up.

However, she suddenly tripped up on her foot and fell face first.

"Gah!" Crying out in shock, Shiro sat up and rubbed her nose.

Glaring at the floor, she felt angrier by the second.

"Stoopid floor!" She shouted out and summoned a lighting spear.

Slamming her spear down, a giant tier 5 magic circle expanded out as the party immediately sobered up and ran away.

*BOOM!!!!

Exploding the house into a million pieces, Madison had summoned her shield in time to protect everyone and looked at the scene with a forced smile.

Shiro was still sitting on the floor while rocking back and forth like one of those never fall toys.

"Stoopid floor making me hurt my nose." Shiro complained while trying to stand up some more.

Falling over again, she seemed to be angry as another tier 5 magic circle expanded out.

"Detoxify her!"

"I'm trying but she keeps cancelling it!!!!" Silvia cried out with a silent tear.

"Sh*t!"
