Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 818 Nan Tians Worries

Chapter 818 Nan Tian's Worries

Since she didn’t have the teleport shrine near Astral Horizons, she’ll need to get there manually and the only way for her to do that would be through the teleport scrolls that Stanley had given her.

But she had an idea for her to make a way to get there without the teleport scroll. After all, it would be rather awkward if she didn’t have a quick way to reach her main anchor should an attack be launched against it.

Her idea was that she wanted to do something similar to what she had done in the quest where she had first met Kuromi. She wanted to use her celestial energy or divine energy to create an orb or mark which allows her to teleport to it immediately should she require it.

Plus, with her control, there was the possibility that she’s able to mark other people so that she could appear beside them.

That way, if they run into any trouble, she can save them in their time of need.

Waving her hand, a black orb appeared above her palm as she casually threw it to the side.

Imagining something similar to her rift like back in the trial world, a portal opened up under Shiro as she appeared right where she had thrown the orb.

"Mn... travel time is a bit slow and it’s instantaneous." Shiro muttered as Isilia raised her eyebrow.

"Are you trying to make a new skill again?" She asked since Shiro used to experiment with blueprints all the time. But now, she was a proper mage that always looked for new spells.

"I am. I know where I want to make the anchor but I want to be able to access it at all times. So essentially I’m making something similar to a teleport shrine I guess." Shiro shrugged as Isilia placed her hand on her chin.

"Well if you want, I can tell you about what I know. I did do some research on teleport shrines after all."

As the two were discussing their ideas on making the fake teleport shrine, Nan Tian sighed softly as he glanced out of the window. It was a shame that he couldn’t help since he didn’t know much about making spells or experimenting like the two ladies.

While the two were concentrating, he decided to step out of the room for now.

Seeing Samuel by the side, Nan Tian smiled and gave him a small wave.

"Sir, do you require anything?" Samuel bowed since he knew that Nan Tian was important to Shiro.

"Nothing. I’m just going to have a short walk around since Shiro and Isilia are discussing a new skill that will help them with travelling back and forth from the anchor." Nan Tian replied with a smile.

"I see. In that case would you like one of the elders to accompany you on your walk so that they can show you around?" Samuel offered as Nan Tian shook his head.

"I’ll be fine. I just want a short walk around."

Nodding his head, Samuel stepped aside as Nan Tian made his way out of the castle.

Taking a deep breath, he sighed softly before glancing at the spirits that played around in the streets.

It reminded him of his time together with Shiro when they were kids but naturally, it wasn’t the same since Shiro was Shiro.

For Kuromi, he had feelings of gratitude but for Shiro’s personality it was feelings of love. At first, he didn’t recognise her since he had been taken away during their childhood but once she matured some more thanks to her level ups, he eventually realised who she was due to the news that he had heard.

Shaking his head, he wondered when he had fallen for her since it just started as a monster that could be beneficial to humanity. She was interesting since unlike other sentient monsters, she didn’t kill every human on sight and her trickster-like personality made him chuckle whenever he thought of her deeds.

Smiling softly, he glanced towards the window where they were currently working.

As if sensing his gaze, Shiro sat up and looked out the window. Seeing Nan Tian, she only smiled and focused back on work.

’She was probably wondering who glanced towards her.’ Nan Tian thought to himself since he understood that her senses towards other people were very sharp. Just a single negative thought about her while looking towards her will give your position away.

As for how she even cultivated this kind of sense, Nan Tian didn’t know what she had to go through to become this perceptive to her surroundings. He knew that in her first life, she had gone through a lot of torture before she could even use nanobots but it was brushed over which he understood that she probably didn’t want to go into detail about the pain she had to suffer.

It was unfortunate but that was the past so there was nothing they could do about it. All he could do was hope that she could make her current life enjoyable. Which was rather hard considering the responsibilities weighing down on her shoulders.

But with the return of her best friend, he could tell that she was much happier but it only made him slightly sad since to him, it seemed like he wasn’t able to give her the same sense of happiness.

Having a short walk around the city, a few of the spirits avoided him like before but he didn’t mind.

###

Finishing his walk, which helped him clear his mind a little, Nan Tian made his way back to the castle.

Opening the door, he could see a happy Shiro who was typing things up on a laptop while throwing black orbs around the room.

"Oh you’re back. How was your walk?" Shiro asked with a smile as Nan tian chuckled.

"It was quite relaxing. Seems like you have made quite a bit of progress with the spell."

"Mn, with Isilia’s information on teleport shrines it made the progress much faster. I think I can crack this in another hour or so." Shiro grinned as Isilia had a smile while sitting besides her.

"Mn congrats. Is there anything I should do while you experiment?" He asked just in case but she shook her head.

"It’s alright. I’ll be done soon and then we’ll make our way to Astral Horizons. If anything, just keep a look out for any information on the queens I suppose."

Nodding his head, Nan Tian sat down on a sofa by the side and pulled out his phone.

After a short while, Shiro sat up with a satisfied smile.

"Nan Tian can you help me test something?" Shiro asked as he nodded his head.

"What do you need?" He asked while standing up.

"Nothing, just sit there for me." Shiro grinned as she stood up.

"I’ll be right back." After saying that, she jumped into the rift and left the room.

Waiting patiently for a while, Nan Tian watched as a portal opened up under the sofa that he was on.

Blinking his eyes, he found himself in the middle of New York on a sofa.

Glancing around him, he saw Shiro standing in front of him with a grin.

"It works. I’ve succeeded in making a fake teleport shrine." Shiro boasted as Nan Tian chuckle.

"Congratulations. I’m not exactly a fan of sitting on a sofa in the middle of a destroyed building so shall we go back?" Nan Tian asked as Shiro nodded her head.

But before she went back, she sat down on the sofa.

"Are you alright?" She asked with a serious expression.

"Mn? What do you mean?" Nan Tian asked curiously.

"You seem like you have something on your mind. You said that the walk is relaxing but you seem plagued by something." Shiro glanced up at him.

Currently, they were sitting on a sofa surrounded by broken debris but no one was around since they were clearing the outside debris first.

Hearing Shiro, Nan Tian understood that she must have picked up on his worries.

Sighing softly, he shrugged his shoulders.

"I can’t hide it from you I guess. I’m just thinking about what I can do to help you. I wanted to make you happy but I wasn’t able to achieve that. When Isilia came back, you seemed much happier so it just made me think about myself and what I can do I suppose."

"Are you seriously worried about that?" She glanced at him with an are you serious face.

Scratching his cheek embarrassingly, Nan Tian glanced to the side and nodded his head.

"Hais... To think the great Nan Tian would have this side to him haha. Well don’t worry, you also make me happy you know? It’s just that I haven’t seen Isilia in a long time. As for you well... you also make me feel safe ok? There aren’t many people that can cover my back in this world. I can trust my back to you since you’re strong and you give me a sense of security I suppose. But you worry too much so stop being depressing." Shiro coughed embarrassingly as she stood up and prepared the spell back.

As for Nan Tian, he paused when he heard what she had said.

’So I make her feel safe huh?’ He thought with a smile.

Sensing that Nan Tian’s mood had improved quite a bit, Shiro smiled and activated the spell.
