Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? Chapter 574 Recovery

Chapter 574 Recovery

Shiro spent the next two weeks resting up in the sect. Occasionally, she would go to the library to visit Arwen.
Otherwise, she would spend most of her time with Attie and Yin. During this time, she had also sent a message to Helion, telling him that she was delaying the deadline a little since she was injured, allowing him to have more time to do research on the sword.
In addition to this, Attie seemed to be slighter closer to Li Jian since he was always looking for ways to entertain the young spirit.
Naturally, Shiro wasn't too against this since Attie was enjoying it but the fact that the old man didn't give up on becoming Attie's grandfather was a little worrisome.
Today was her final check up but Shiro didn't need a medic to know that she was fully recovered. After all, Nimue was finally awake.
'Yo, you've been out of commission for quite a while. What happened?' Shiro asked with a casual smile.
*PUCHI!
Seeing this, Nimue immediately felt like a vein was about to burst.
&123;Ok, you of all people can't ask me what happened. So god damn suicidal! I swear your body was already breaking halfway through the fight against that Guardian and right after that you decide to tax your body more by borrowing the mana from the Earth! Are you trying to reduce your links to ash?! Do you know how much trouble it was to try keeping everything from breaking???&125; Nimue raged as she stomped over to a tree and ripped it out from the ground before tossing it into the air.
'Haha, but we're alive now aren't we? Thanks to Lil' Tian achieving tier 6 elemental magic, we were able to drive off the guardian.' Shiro laughed.
Waving her hand, she brought the tree back to the island before repairing the roots.
&123;Hais… I don't even know why we're alive.&125; Nimue rolled her eyes before sinking her body into the water.
'Do you not want to come out for a bit? Iziuel's been enjoying the sect quite a bit. Attie's also having some fun too.' Shiro asked.
&123;Nah it's fine. Look at my body and tell me if I should go out. I may be conscious now but I'm still injured.&125; Nimue sighed before standing up once more. Compared to before, her body was definitely struggling to keep its shape but she was barely able to manage.
Furrowing her brows, Shiro could only sigh.
'Sorry.' She apologised since this was partially her fault for being so reckless against the Guardian.
&123;Don't be like that. It's better to be wounded than dead. At least I can recover from this. Death? Not so much.&125; Nimue shrugged as Shiro chuckled.
&123;So do you have anything interesting for me? I have been unconscious for quite a while.&125; She asked curiously.
'Well… there are quite a few things to go through.' Shiro smiled.
Making herself comfortable, she started to tell Nimue about Zesli, the Norman incident, Li Jian's identity and Attie's current state of 'growing up'.
&123;Heh~ You've been quite busy huh? I'll tell you what though, I can see why Estrella was excited and happy about Attie's speed of growth. After all, I can count on one hand the amount of spirits that's able to do the same as Attie.&125; Nimue smiled.
'It is really that hard though?' Shiro asked curiously since it didn't seem difficult to Shiro.
&123;Well to your eyes maybe not. But for a spirit's, there's a huge mental barrier that you must surpass in order to begin your 'growth.' If I had to describe it, it'll be akin to a kid wanting to go into a dungeon so that he could level up and advance in class.&125; Nimue explained as Shiro nodded.
'Hmm fair enough. Anyways, I need to go for my check up now. If everything is ok, I'll go visit Arwen in the library to hold up my side of the agreement then I'll go meet Helion. If Lil' Tian is still in seclusion then I'll probably leave him a note or something.' Shiro nodded before leaving the mana realm.
Getting dressed, Shiro started to make her way to the medic bay. Attie, Yin, Iziuel and Estrella were waiting by her side since this was probably their last day in the sect.

"Yup, everything is ok now. Your body has fully recovered and there are no more backlash effects." The healer smiled as Shiro nodded her head.
Stretching her body, she picked up Attie before leaving the room.
"So are you leaving now?" Li Jian asked with a smile.
"Yup. Of course, I want to say goodbye to Lil' Tian and Arwen first. Though it seems like Lil' Tian is still in seclusion so I don't want to bother him too much." Shiro smiled.
"Do you want anything to help you on the journey then? I know that my boy has been quite helpful but since he's in seclusion right now, it would probably be best for you to get some protection. I don't want to see him heartbroken after all." Li Jian smiled as Shiro shook her head.
"Nah it should be fine. It's not like I'm going to look for trouble now am I?"
"No no no. You don't understand. I'm not afraid of you looking for trouble but rather trouble looking for you." Li Jian laughed.
"Ok that's very true since I've ran into two Queens and a demon god in the span of a few weeks." Shiro shrugged.
"Mn, but here, take this. It should help you out quite a bit should you ever get into a pickle." Li Jian smiled as he threw her a coin of sorts.

"Well damn, isn't this quite handy?" Shiro raised her eyebrow.
"Are you sure you want to give me this old man?"
"Yes. If you're safe, it means Attie's safe. If you're both safe, it makes me happy." Li Jian smiled.
"It's making me feel bad since I don't have anything to give you." Shiro scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it. As long as A-"
"My son isn't calling you grandpa."
"Tsk, stingy. I just gave you a powerful life saving item too." Li Jian clicked his tongue.
"Sorry, you're gonna have to try much harder than that to become my son's grandpa old man." Shiro grinned.
"Fine whatever. Just make sure you stay safe out there. The world is becoming more dangerous especially with these Queen's making their existence known." Li Jian warned.
"I know. I'll go talk to Arwen now. Take care old man." Shiro waved as Li Jian nodded.
"See you later young lady."
Making her way to the Library, Shiro flexed her fingers and created a tablet of sorts filled with information about Aria.
Swiping her key card once more, the door to the Library opened up.
"Arwen!" Shiro called out with a smile.
"You're back. From the looks of things, you're leaving now." Arwen smiled. Even after two weeks of interacting with him, his figure was still shrouded but Shiro didn't mind.
"I've come to fulfil my part of the promise from last time. This tablet should have information that isn't recorded here." Shiro smiled as she passed him the tablet.
"Thank you for helping me these past few weeks." She bowed slightly since he was able to tell her exactly which records to look for should she be curious, saving her lots of time.
"You're welcome. Your presence has elevated my boredom. Hopefully this tablet can do the same haha." Arwen laughed as Shiro nodded.
"Take care. I'm not sure when I'll be able to visit you again."
"Mn, you too." Watching Shiro leave, Arwen looked down at the tablet before sitting down on the chair.
Not too long after, Li Jian appeared in the Library.
"Are you not going to show her your appearance?" He asked curiously.
"There's no need." Arwen shook his head.
"Are you sure?" Li Jian raised his eyebrow as Arwen nodded his head.
"She's doing just fine without me." Arwen smiled as he dismissed his disguise.
As the disguise flickered away, it turned out that Arwen is not a he but rather a she. With golden hair and pointed ears, she gently caressed the tablet with a soft smile.
"I'll be honest, I was surprised when I heard her talk about you. The fact that you actually disguised yourself as a mysterious man rather than your true form. Aren't you her friend's mother?" Li Jian asked curiously.
"I am indeed and I am also her friend from another life. Though it's not yet time to meet her or my daughter yet. I'll go meet them properly once the new age starts. Honestly, I thought I was going to have to make an appearance a little sooner but since she was able to deal with Aekari by herself, I can keep my existence a secret for a little longer." She smiled.
