Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Novel

Chapter 920 Sicilia

After taking a moment to calm down her emotions, Kanae let them rest for a bit while she cleans up everything.

The husband was called Ronan and the wife was Amelia. Before the new age arrived, they worked as escorts most of the time and helped clear some stray monsters. Their levels weren’t high but it didn’t bother them since they were able to make a decent living.

As for their children, they had a son and daughter. The older sibling was 10 and he was quite reserved. He would constantly glance toward the corpses of the other humans with a frown and Shiro could see a bit of anger in his eyes which disappeared.

The younger sibling seemed to be around 8 and she was quite attached to Kanae after she helped them.

She even offered to clean up the corpses but Kanae rejected since it wasn’t good for children to clean up corpses.

As for the woman that was injured earlier, after consuming the potion that Kanae had given to her, she fell asleep. The only reason that she had been able to hold out for that long was because they was still being chased by monsters. If she collapsed, they would all die and that helped her push her body past her limit.

While Kanae was cleaning up the corpses, Shiro sat on a tree branch and sent her senses out to scout the area just in case there were any monsters roaming around nearby.

"Erm... Miss, what are you?" The youngest sibling asked as Shiro glanced down and saw the girl looking at her with curious eyes.

"Me?" Shiro pointed at herself. Nodding her head, the girl was curious about this woman that was as big as her hand.

"I’m a spirit." Shiro floated down and smiled softly.

"A spirit? Like ghosts or monsters?" The girl stepped back fearfully as Shiro laughed.

"No I’m the good kind. Like a nature spirit." Shiro explained while sitting on the girl’s shoulder.

"Nature spirit?"

"Yes. There are different spirits. They can be fire spirits or water spirits." Shiro explained since she might as well talk to the girl while everyone was resting.

"Hm... what kind of spirit are you then?" She asked.

"I’m a spirit that controls souls." Shiro replied. She couldn’t exactly demonstrate her power since it might be a little creepy for a kid so she’ll stick with talking about it for now.

"Souls? Are you like death then? You know the tall hooded guys that take souls away." The girl asked curiously while poking at Shiro’s cheeks.

"A little too rough. But yes, I’m like death. Did you know that I’m actually half spirit and half reaper right now? My grandparents work for Hades." Shiro grinned while pushing away the girl’s finger since she didn’t control her strength at all.

"Wait but I heard that if death touches you he takes your soul away. Since you touched my finger does that mean you take my soul away?" The girl asked with a pale face.

"Pft haha, if I wanted to take your soul away, I would have done so long ago." Shiro joked while floating around the girl’s head.

"Wait so if I do something bad where you can’t see me, you’ll take my soul away?"

"Yup. I put a mark on you. If you do something bad, I’ll know. Of course, if you’re in danger, you can pray to me and I’ll help you." Shiro smiled.

"What kind of danger?"

"The kind like today. If you have people that could harm you, your brother, mum and dad, feel free to pray to me and I’ll come to help you." Shiro promised as she decided to mark her so that if she does pray, Shiro will help her out.

There wasn’t any reason for her to do this and to put it bluntly, it was just done on a whim.

"Really? So if my daddy is sick, you can help him recover?" The girl asked with excitement in her eyes.

"Is your dad sick? If he is I can help him now." Shiro asked as she glanced towards Ronan and scanned his body.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Not now but daddy used to get really sick and mum got worried. He was healed but apparently he almost died." The girl glanced down with a frown.

"Don’t worry, I’ll give you a little blessing so that your family is a little luckier ok? I’m not sure how well this will work but it’s better than nothing." Shiro smiled.

Snapping her fingers, a small crest appeared on the back of the girl’s hand.

Remembering the sensation of her shines and what happened when people prayed to her, Shiro tried to give the girl the same blessing.

[You have given – Blessing of the Demi Goddess –]

[EXP Earning +5%]

[Luck +10%]

[Stats +5%]

[This blessing will continue as long as the girl believes in you. If she was to lose faith, the blessing will fade.]

"Wait you’re a goddess?" the girl glanced up at Shiro in surprise.

"Shh... that’s a secret. But if you believe in me this blessing will stay with you." Shiro smiled.

"Mn! But I don’t think I have heard of a small goddess before." The girl circled around Shiro.

"That’s because I’m not in my true form right now. I shrank my body down." Shiro patted her head.

"Can I see your real body then?" The girl asked but Shiro shook her head.

"Nope. Plus, we’re about to leave now so you should get ready." Shiro pointed at her parents and brother who helped the woman sit up properly after waking her.

Floating away without saying anything, Shiro sat on Kanae’s shoulder.

Walking over to the woman, Kanae double checked to make sure that she was healthy before sighing in relief.

"It’s not safe to stay out here, I can bring you to somewhere safe. There are a few rules to follow but it’s a nice city. You’ll be living with other races such as demons if you come, but I can promise that they don’t mean any harm." Kanae offered as they paused at the mention of demons.

"Demons are there?" The woman asked as Kanae nodded.

"It’s better to see the place with your own eyes. You can stay there for refuge and if you don’t want to stay, you can leave and we won’t stop you." Kanae replied.

"Is there a price for us to stay there?" Amelia asked.

"Nope. If you like it, you can stay. You can apply for jobs and so on. It’s honestly easier to see it for yourself than it is for me to explain it. If you trust me, I’ll take you to the city right now." Kanae scratched her head awkwardly since she didn’t know all of the functions of the city. If anything, she was still trying to learn everything herself.

Looking at one another, the family nodded their heads since a safe place was hard to come by. It was better than dying in the wild.

"We’ll come with you." Ronan said as Kanae nodded.

"What about you?" She turned to the woman that had just woken up.

"I’ll join as well. Is there perhaps a military that I can join?" She asked as Kanae nodded.

"There is. If anything, I’d say the military is probably the more impressive part of the city. Also, I don’t know your name. What should I call you?" Kanae asked.

"Sicilia Eventine." Sicilia replied as Kanae nodded.

"Nice to meet you, they already know my name but I’m Kanae. The city will leave this place soon so I’ll take you there now." Kanae smiled.

"Wait, leave?" Sicilia furrowed her brows with confusion since a city didn’t normally move.

"Yup. It’s a floating city." Kanae smiled and pointed up.

Slowly, the city started to reveal itself as the hanger doors opened.

"I’ll send everyone to the city. Kanae, you can escort them if you want and guide them around the city. There aren’t any more survivors nearby so we’re done for today. After escorting them, you can rest for the rest of today." Shiro called out with a smile since Kanae was probably mentally tired after the decision she had made earlier.

"Are you sure? Isn’t it still early in the day?" Kanae asked since she still had guard duties.

"It’s fine don’t worry about it. Just take the day off." Shiro reassured with a grin.

Thinking about it for a moment, Kanae eventually nodded her head as Shiro sent everyone to the city.

Naturally, Shiro didn’t even need to be there to guess their reaction to the city since it was nothing like anything they have seen before.

Teleporting herself back to the command centre, Shiro busied herself with some of the plans in progress while Asharia made its way to Tokyo.
