Their journey didn't take that long and it only took them 3 and a half days before they reached the City of Light.
Yuki deliberately slowed that, because she wanted to fully experience herself in adventuring. She never knew that walking around the forest while looking around the scenery minus the killing that she needed would be fun for her.
In her past life, Yuki didn't like to go out. She just wants to focus and indulge herself in making her business stronger. So when she got out and had a journey of her own including Yumie she enjoyed herself.
Even though she already had a mini journey by herself in the forest alone, it didn't seem fun because Yuki had to raise her to guard up all the time. But this time she didn't need to do that because if one comes close to her with malicious intent, it will die before it can do something to her.
"We have finally arrived!" Yumie said as she stretched her body.
"Yeah, we did."
Yuki and Yumie were astonished at the sight of the City Walls. It was huge and had guards up all around the walls to protect them from wild beasts and monsters.
"Shall we get inside now?" Yuki asked after finishing admiring the outside look of the City.
"Yeah, we should go in now Mom!" Yumie said excitedly.
"Oh wait Yumie!" Yuki stopped Yumie before she could walk inside.
"Why?"
"Let me do something really quick!"
"Okay!"
"Hey Fubuki, do you have a Skill that can let me talk to other races? Because as you know I and Yumie still cannot talk." Yuki asked.
Ding!
[The host can check the shop.]
"Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that before!" Yuki sighed, she then quickly looked up at the shop in her system to see if there was a Skill that she needed to communicate.
Ding!

Skills:
(Passive) Language God (25k)- With this, the user can understand all kinds of language there. Even the ancient language.
(Passive) Crimson Lotus Aura (30k) - When the emotions of the user are amplified, it will release a menacing aura that will strike down the enemies. This aura will burn and put strong pressure on the opponents like killing intent.
(Active) Telepathy (30k) - Using this skill will let the user talk to people using only her mind. (Only has a range of 3 meters.)
"All of these are great, it's decided then I will buy all of them now!" After seeing all of the skills that were listed first, Yuki was already satisfied. So she didn't waste any more time and quickly bought all of them.
Luckily for Yuki, she had already paid the loan that she had from Fubuki and to this day Yuki is still mad at that. But she knew that she cannot complain because the Skills and the Fire Soul that she bought were worth it.
But it was hell for Yuki because she had to do so many Quest from Fubuki, and fortunately, she had completed many Quest from the system and now she is back at 100k gold after so much hard work.

[Purchasing complete, congratulations on the new Skills.]
After that Yuki received the three skills, before she used them Yuki called Yumie over to give the other one.
"Hey Yumie, come here for a second!"
"What is it, mom?"
"I'll give you something special for behaving nicely on our trip!"
Yuki then touched Yumie's forehead and transferred the skill to her.
"You can learn it later after we get ourselves a shelter," Yuki said to which Yumie answered with a smile and followed back at Yuki.
Yuki learned how to use telepathy quickly because the concept is the same as when she normally talks to Yumie, so she quickly grasped how to use it.
When Yuki and Yumie were about to enter the City she was stopped by a guard that was patrolling at the City Gates.
"Stop, show your badge before you enter!" The guard said he towered at Fubuki because she is quite small.
The guard that stopped them was a Human, that was about 2 meters tall.
But Yuki didn't feel scared when she faced the man and only answered politely.
"Sorry sir but we are new here, how do we get this badge that you are talking about?"
"So you guys are new here huh? There are four types of badges: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The bronze will only last 2 days before it breaks and you will need to buy again so that we will let you inside the City of light, the silver then last 4, gold is 7, and lastly platinum is a month." The guard explains.
"Is there no way to get a permanent badge, for example, I would like to live here for more than a month?"
"Yes, the requirements will be different, you will need to prove your strength and at least get the adventurer Rank B, and get permission from the City Lord herself."
'Well, it's not like I will stay here forever so I guess I will go with the gold badge for now.'
"I would like 2 gold badges, how can I get those?"
"You can purchase it from there." The guard pointed at a store.
"Okay thank you!"
"No problem."
Yuki then turned around and started to walk towards the shop.
"Come with me, it's going to be hard if we get lost in this City okay?" Yuki said to Yumie
"Fine."
"Excuse me, is this the place I can get the badge so that I will be able to get inside the City?"
Yuki approached the shop and asked politely the lady who was managing the shop.
"Oh, yes. What would you like to buy ma'am?"
"How much are two gold badges?"
"That would be 10 gold each which is 20 gold for all."
"Okay, here you go." Yuki paid 20 gold to the lady and retrieved her badge.
"You will only need to carve your name using your Mana for this and you're good to go." The lady instructed Yuki.
Yuki was very lucky that she asked for money from Rong Su and Song Xing before they parted ways.
"Okay, thank you!"
"Here you go Yumie, you just need to carve your name in it using Mana."
"I understand."
The two then carved their name on the badge, and after they were done the Badge lit up. After the mini-light show is done, Yuki can see her name carved into it.
The Badge looks very good. On the front, Yuki can see her name written on it, while on the back there was a mark of a woman holding a staff.
'I guess this is the City Lord huh?"
After they are done they go back to the guard that was at the gate and show their badge.
"Welcome to the City of Light!" The guard said.
"Yes, thank you!"
"I hope you enjoy your stay!" The guard said courtly to them.
Yuki and Yumie nodded at the guard before finally walking inside.
