Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

After finishing their breakfast, the party made their way out of the hotel while Nan Tian followed behind them.

"Oh right lil' Tian, what level are you? You never answered my question last time." Shiro asked as she was quite curious as to what level the little beggar is now.

"Oh you want to know my level? Hmm… I'll keep it a secret. After all, finding out things yourself is part of the fun when talking to people." Nan Tian smiled.

"Che, when did you become so cheeky ah?" Shiro clicked her tongue.

"Well, I wouldn't say cheeky. But I'm sure you'll be catching up to my level soon. After all, it's not even been a year and you're already level 115." Nan Tian pointed out with a smile as Shiro looked away.

"Fine fine, I'll find out on my own. Plus, how hard would it be? It's not like you're level 1000 now, are you?" Shiro shrugged.

"So what's your plan for the day?" Nan Tian asked.

"Hm, I'm planning to go to the church in order to tell them to stop bothering my daughter. The next step would be to wait for my sister and cousin to arrive in this city. Once they're here, I can finally get down to business since there's someone I need to save." Shiro replied.

"Oh? And who's that?"

"Hmm… I'll keep it a secret. After all, finding out things yourself is part of the fun when talking to people." Shiro grinned as she returned his quote right back to him.

Hearing this, Nan Tian couldn't help but chuckle.

"Anyways, Aarim, how are you finding the court role? It said that making spells would be easier for you so have you made any progress yet?" Shiro asked as Aarim nodded.

"Yes I have. It's not completely finished but I have a working prototype. Let's just say that when I activate this spell, everyone I designate as an ally would feel weightless while everyone else would be weighed down with multiple forces acting on their body at the same time. If their physique is weak, they'll be shredded up by this despite it being primarily a control spell." Aarim explained.

"Heh~ that sounds pretty handy. But if we feel weightless, wouldn't that affect our sword swings?" Lyrica asked curiously.

"That's why I said it was working in progress. I want to make it so that the forces would be able to enhance your swings." Aarim replied as Lyrica nodded her head.

"Makes sense."

As they made their way to the church, Nan Tian attracted quite a few eyes as he had removed his mask while talking to Shiro.

"Hmm…. It's a bit annoying having some many eyes on us." Shiro frowned while glancing back at Nan Tian.

"Damn, why did you have to grow up to be such an eye candy huh? Forget it, take this, it should make things easier for you." She shook her head before handing him a ring that had the upgraded disguise skill embedded into it.

Raising his eyebrows, he wondered where she managed to get such a ring and realised that everyone else had the same one.

"Before you ask about the origin, just know that if you try to research it, it will blow up." Shiro reminded kindly.

"Well a woman's supposed to have her secrets." Nan Tian nodded his head before putting on the ring. Separating from the group for a while, he went to apply his disguise.

Taking this moment, Lyrica quickly jogged over to Shiro.

"Pst, Shiro, don't you find it weird?"

"What's weird?" Shiro tilted her head.

"Well the fact that you're in his childhood saviours' body and he's taking it pretty nicely."

"Hmm… true. I'll ask him don't worry." Shiro dismissed with a smile.

After all, Nan Tian was someone that she could trust. He knew of her identity as a monster and didn��t even attempt to kill her. No, instead, he thought about recruiting her so that she could help out the world.

Even if he weren't the little beggar that she knew as a kid, she would have given Nan Tian some degree of trust. There was only the problem of him being a little stalky before but that could be fixed with time. Now that she knew who he was, she was going to make sure that he goes on the 'right path'.

Nodding her head reluctantly, Lyrica sighed before walking next to Madison.

After waiting for a while, Nan Tian soon returned with a new disguise. His face was not as handsome as before but it was still above average in order to fit with disguises the group had put on.

This time, they attracted less attention.

Upon arriving at the church, Shiro was immediately greeted by the sight of several priests waiting by the front door with a smile on their faces. They welcomed everyone that wanted to go into the church while giving a few blessings to people that left.

"Good morning adventurer, how may we help?" The priest asked with a smile.

"Oh we're here to ask a few questions. Would it be ok if we entered?" Shiro replied.

"Of course. You're quite lucky, the head priest is free right now so you can ask him some questions."

"I see, thank you."

Walking inside the church, Shiro saw that it was surprisingly spacious as a large altar of sorts could be seen near the back of the church. Standing not too far from it, was a man that was clearly dressed much better than the other priests who were in the church.

The man had aged white hair and a rather long beard. His face was wrinkled from age but he didn't look too old. If Shiro had to give it an age, it'll be around late 30's to mid 40s.

[Richard LVL 230 – Saint of Asclepios]

"Seems like we've found the priest." Shiro smiled as they removed their disguises. She recognised the name Asclepios since the god associated with this name was the god of medicine.

The moment Shiro removed the illusion she had put on Lisandra, due to the fact that she can't use any items or equipment, her presence was immediately noticed by the head priest.

"Ah, miss Lisandra, you're here." He called out with an excited smile.

"Mn, I'm here with my mother." Lisandra nodded while keeping her expression neutral.

Looking at the white haired woman with a red haired boy in her arms, Richard couldn't help but paused in surprise before nodding his head. While there were no similarities between the two of them, he had no choice but to accept since Lisandra had said that this woman was her mother.

"I see, so you're the esteemed mother of miss Lisandra." Richard said with a smile.

"Mn, I heard that you've been quite interested in my daughter and the origin of her identity. I must say that there seemed to be a kind of misunderstanding here." Shiro replied while handing Attie to Lisandra.

"What kind of misunderstanding would there be for an angel to appear in the city. All of the holy artefacts and even our bodies had a reaction to her presence. Is this not the sign of higher beings?" Richard furrowed his brows.

"First, I do believe that my daughter has said that she was not religious so the fact that you're trying to get her into religion despite this is rather rude. Second, my daughter doesn't want anything to do with the church so if possible, it would be best to just let her level up as a normal adventurer." Shiro said while narrowing her eyes.

"Hmm… I'm afraid that's a little difficult you see. Some people are just born into a role that they cannot refuse." Richard shook his head.

'Oh for f*ck sake he's one of those people isn't he?' Shiro thought to herself with a frown.

[What are you planning to do?] Nimue asked as she finally spoke up after a while of not talking. After all, she had just been observing what had been happening so far.

'Well if he's not going to listen to reason then I'll have to go the forceful way. Though I will try my patience with him. If things go well, Lisandra will have no relation to the church despite her being an angel. If things go south, I'll probably have to fight the church. Regardless, with the age of demons and gods on the horizon, I can't let a small church hold us back.' Shiro replied.

Plus, she wasn't afraid to fight it out even without Nan Tian being here. While she is level 115, her skill set, stats and experience made up for the gap between levels. If the man knew any better, he would opt for the safe route as a battle would cause lots of casualties.
