Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

After taking care of the two that tried to rob her, Shiro was sad to see that they were dirt poor and that they had nothing of value on them.

Sighing softly, Shiro buried their body in the forest.

"Making me go through all this work and I don't even get paid for it in the end." Shiro shook her head.

Narrowing her eyes, she didn't want to make any movements to reveal the hidden third person that was observing her just yet. After all, despite knowing where his rough location is, she couldn't see him at all which meant that he or she had at least one divinity. The worst part was that she had only discovered their presence after she killed the two so she didn't know what the other part saw.

If she was to fight him or her, it could end up badly so her best choice was to leave for now and see what happens.

Returning to the town, Shiro figured that it would probably be best that she be on her way once she gets the maps.

"I saw something interesting tonight. I didn't expect the young lady to be burying two corpses at this time." The person who was observing Shiro muttered with an interested smile.

Revealing her body on the branch not too far from where Shiro had buried the corpses, she glanced towards the town with a smile before hopping down.

Digging up the corpses, she glanced at the wounds and raised her eyebrow in surprise.

"Their wounds are identical which means that she has great control with her weapon. One shot to the neck and one shot through the head starting from the eye. Ruthless." The woman muttered with a smile.

Burying the bodies once more, the woman wrote something down on a note before folding it into a crane. Throwing it in the air, she watched as the crane disappeared and smiled.

"Let's see what the others do about this." She chuckled and left the area.

Waking up in the morning, Shiro made sure that she didn't forget anything and had a cheaper meal at the inn. After all, her buying some expensive meal caused two casualties to appear on the first night of her being here. She didn't want to kill more people by the time she leaves if she could help it since she never knows if she's going to be fighting someone with divinity or not.

This risk will increase the closer she gets to cities so she needed to be careful while she's still weak.

After finishing the breakfast, Shiro wondered how long it'll take for the messenger to arrive with her maps.

Thinking about it for a moment, she decided to go to the blacksmiths for now so that she could get herself some decent daggers.

Walking around the town, she finally found the blacksmiths but the place was rather run down.

Raising her eyebrow, Shiro wondered if they could actually make her a decent weapon.

Knocking on the door, she waited for a short moment before hearing some footsteps on the other side of the door.

"Who is it?" A rough voice rang out.

"I'm a customer. I was wondering if you make throwing daggers." Shiro replied as the doors unlocked.

Surprised that the owner of the voice was actually a muscular girl that was around 6ft tall, Shiro had to tilt her head back slightly to meet her eyes.

"So you want a throwing dagger?" The woman asked as Shiro nodded.

"Normal daggers are fine as well if that's what you're more proficient in making. "

"Well it's easier to do normal daggers than it is to do throwing daggers. Normal daggers will be 1 silver each while throwing ones will be 2 silver since they take much longer to make. The balance needs to be right otherwise it's hard to throw them properly." The woman replied while gesturing for Shiro to enter the smithy.

"I'll take four normal daggers."

"That'll be 4 silver and it'll be done by the end of the day unless you want to buy some of the premade stuff. You can also pay more for your dagger to be made from some better materials." The woman replied while gesturing towards a wooden board with daggers displayed on the surface.

Looking through the daggers, Shiro could tell that most of them were rather average and didn't meet her standards. However, the best pair of daggers within this batch was a pair of daggers that were crafted from a silver blue metal which seemed to flicker with a soft light.

"How much are these daggers?" Shiro asked while pointing towards them.

"They're 2 silvers each." The woman replied as Shiro nodded her head.

"I'll take both of them instead."

"That'll be four silvers. Do you want any others? You said that you wanted four daggers right?" the woman asked.

"Hmm…"

Picking out two more daggers to act as spares as well as throwing daggers, she paid the woman 6 silvers and left the smithy.

Disposing the bone daggers, she placed her new daggers onto her weapon belt with their sheaths so that she didn't accidentally stab herself in the leg while jumping from tree to tree.

Feeling the weight of the dagger in her hand, Shiro smiled softly. It probably wasn't going to help her fight against large creatures but it was definitely something that'll be handy for small to medium monsters along with humans.

Walking around for a little while, Shiro decided to sit down on a bench and wait for the messenger.

After waiting for around half a day, she saw a carriage approaching the town. Quite a few people were getting ready as Shiro wondered what the carriage was for.

Once the carriage arrived in the town, they started to unload a few crates that were filled with food, clothes and some other items such as weapons but they were small in number since people this far out in the section didn't need weapons that much.

One of the people that hopped off the carriage started to walk towards her and pulled out a small package.

"Can you show me your token just to be sure?" The man asked as Shiro nodded her head. Presenting her token, she watched as it shattered into light particles as the seal on the package was undone.

"Here are your items." The man nodded and handed her the package.

"Ah before you go, my friend said that I can ask you about how to set this service up since I've never done it. How would I order something from across the world and have it delivered to a town?" Shiro asked.

"Follow me, I'll show you how to do it." The man nodded.

"You see, each town has a small building for our service. There is rarely a town without this building but that's usually fixed quickly since this service is extremely helpful. In the building are several communication tablets that are made from a special kind of stone which was enchanted by a divinity.

"You can communicate with us on that tablet and then we will check whether or not we're able to obtain your item. Once you confirm that the item is obtainable, we would need you to choose a town so that our messenger can take a carriage to that town. After this would be the payment and there is a separate tray of sorts where you can place the payment. Once you do that, a token will switch places with the payment and the order would have been completed." The man explained as Shiro nodded her head.

Following him to the building, she saw the stone that he had mentioned. The process itself was rather simple as it was similar to online orders from Earth. The only difference was that instead of having the internet, divine enchantments and features from different divinities were used to communicate over long distances.

"Thank you very much." Shiro smiled as the man nodded and made his way back to the carriage.

Seeing his attitude, Shiro figured that he was probably asked this question quite a few times so it was understandable.

Shaking her head, she left the building and opened her map.

Currently, she was on the outer edges of the Section of Life. To get to the Section of Sky, she'll need to travel towards the north which wasn't too bad since the Section of Sky was right next to the Section of Life.

The only troublesome aspect was the dangers that she'll meet on the way since there are marked zones that have monsters which cause trouble even for those with two divinities.

For her to safely reach the Section of Sky, it'll take her around a month and a half if she avoided danger. If she travelled without caring about the danger then it'll only take her around two weeks of constant travel.

Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro sighed and resolved herself for a month and a half of travel. However, it was necessary since she wasn't too keen on accidentally running into a cyclops on her way there.

Storing the map away safely, she left the town and started her almost two month long journey towards the Section of Sky.
