Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Hearing what she said when she saw him, Neldor's smile faltered for a slight moment before recovering.

"This emperor heard that if I wanted a meal with you, I'd need to come to you in person."

"Hou, well it seems like I've troubled you then." Shiro smiled before attempting to close the door.

"You dare!" The messenger frowned and quickly stopped the door from closing.

"You know, it's quite rude to try force a dinner with me at this time right?" Shiro raised an eyebrow and showed them the time on her phone.

"Well how about just a small talk then?" Neldor smiled.

"Yeah… how about no?"

Flicking the messenger's arm off with impressive strength, Shiro closed the door.

Looking at his arm in shock, the messenger couldn't believe that someone that should be 35 levels below him could force him off this easily.

Turning around slowly, he saw the prince's face still with a smile. Understanding that the smile was hiding his anger, the messenger stepped aside and said nothing.

"She just rejected this emperor didn't she?" He asked slowly.

"She did." The messenger nodded with hesitation.

Taking a deep breath, Neldor shook his head and started to walk away.

Following behind him, the messenger glanced towards Shiro's door briefly.

'Stupid woman.' He thought to himself.

###

Sitting on the bed, Shiro had a smile on her face while looking at a tablet.

During the time that she had flicked the messenger's hand, she had implanted a nanobot to his sleeve.

Her plan was to have it follow the prince and invade his laptop.

That way, she could gain access to all of his files and see what he's planning. Naturally, there was the risk of him discovering the bot but she had made sure to camouflage the bot's mana signal.

"Let's see, now that I have my bot trailing the first prince, I can set him aside for now. I need to find someone linked to the second prince so that I can do the same." Shiro muttered while crossing her legs.

Since she was already in the process of making the third prince's guards into her puppets, she didn't need to worry about him.

Tapping her chin for a few moments, she looked up information regarding the second prince's close aides.

'Hmm… I can find one of his close servants near the mages tower.'

Since the servant was also a mage, he placed a lot of his focus into research unlike Shiro who only needed to level up. This was one of the privileges she had due to the fact that she was a monster.

"Speaking of the mage's tower, I need to update my guild id. I'm still a level 46 ice mage on the ID." She muttered.

Shaking her head, she did a little more research regarding the second prince's servant and fell asleep.

When she woke up, she saw that her level had increased from 77 to 78.

{Seems like the girls are still doing the dungeons.} Nimue said as she could see that none of them returned.

'Mn. That's a good thing though. Now that Lisa is level 78, they can challenge level 80 dungeons if they wanted to. The danger of challenging this despite them being quite a few levels lower than the monsters is good for their development. Not only that, Lisa is also there so I don't need to worry too much.' Shiro smiled and stood up.

Stretching her body slightly, she left the castle.

Looking up at the dark clouds, Shiro sighed slightly.

'I think it might rain later today.' She mused and walked through the city.

Hiding her face with a mask, she tied her hair into a ponytail.

Today was going to be one of those days where she relaxed a little since there wasn't much to do other than set a bot on the second prince's follower and update her ID.

Two simple tasks.

Arriving at the Adventurer's guild, Shiro waited patiently in the line.

"So how may I help you today?" The woman asked with a professional smile.

"I'm just here to update my status." Shiro replied and handed her the ID card.

"Understood. I'll just need to see your face along with a quick test to verify your identity." The woman said while pulling out an orb. Recognising the orb to be the same one that they had used to try find her old ID back in New York, Shiro wondered why they couldn't find out that she was Kuromi.

'Do you think it has something to do with my enemy?' Shiro asked Nimue curiously.

{It's a possibility. That being said, do you think that it may also just be a case of security clearance?}

'Hmm…. Who knows.' Shiro shrugged.

Placing her hand on the crystal, she verified her ID as Shiro and updated her card.

[Name: Shiro

Estimated Age: 13

Class: Element Sage

LVL: 65

Mage's Association Membership: VIP (New York Branch)]

"Miss Shiro, do you know your age? Because your body is clearly not one that belongs to a child." The woman asked while pointing at the age section.

"My age? No idea. I had amnesia when I woke up in New York and that was a while back. I've upgraded my class and my body changed along with it." Shiro replied.

"I see. If you want, we do have a device that is still in its testing phase and it detects a person's age. The result may not be accurate though." The woman offered.

'Hmm… if I did it, it might show my age as just a few months. That would be quite awkward.'

"No thanks. Just put my age down as 18 or something close to that." Shiro replied with a shrug.

In this world where everyone can live hundreds of years if they levelled up enough, age isn't exactly a focus anymore. Of course, it is still a crime to go for someone underaged but after 18, hardly anyone cares about the age difference. There could be situations where the age difference could be as big as 40 years despite the couple almost looking like they're the same age.

"Very well." Nodding her head, the woman updated her age and handed the card back to her.

"Have a nice day."

"You too."

Leaving the counter, Shiro stored her updated ID card in her inventory.

Looking around, she noticed that there was quite a commotion near the terminals.

'Seems like something fun is going on.' Shiro thought with an inward grin.

Walking over, she saw adventurer's in different uniforms arguing with each other.

Recognising the uniforms to be the ones that belong to the Rising Sun faction and the God's Pantheon. Two factions that support different princes.

'Hou hou~ I see an opportunity.'

Making her aura so that it was barely detectable, she slowly manoeuvred her way through the crowd and arrived at the front without anyone realising.

On the Rising faction's side, she could hear some japanese being spoken near the back while the people in front spoke in English.

"Are you challenging us? Despite the fact that we took the quest at the same time and we clearly finished before you, you're slandering us with the act of cheating? Petty!" A Japanese guy said with disdain on his face.

"Ha? You think we were being petty? Then tell us why you could provide enough damage despite your team being mostly supporters and healers."

Raising an eyebrow, Shiro realised that they were in conflict because of the quest they took from the guild.

'Were they having a competition or something?' She wondered to herself.

Glancing towards the people at the back, she was curious as to what they were talking about.

Flexing her fingers, she created an ear piece that would translate the Japanese into English.

"Hey, are you sure we can do this? Violence is banned in the guild you know?"

"It's fine. It's not like they're going to get physical. That being said, I'd rather us finish this soon since we still have to collect our rewards."

"Mn. But are you sure it will work?"

"Not really. The branch leader said that it was important so what else can we do?"

Hearing that the 'reward' was something important to the faction, Shiro's interest was piqued.

'Seems like I need to follow them a bit to make sure that the reward is protected. It would be a real shame if they lost it at the last moment.' She grinned.
