Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

"Erm… Guild Master of the food hall?" Asher asked curiously as Yin nodded her head.

"Yup. Got a problem with that?" She asked, finishing her apple before burning it to ash.

Reaching into her inventory, she pulled out another apple. While she loves meat, she's been enjoying these apples lately, they were crunchy and sweet with a nice texture.

"Let's see. One guy who's knocked out, check. There's you two, that girl there and a monster. Alright, everyone's here. Let me take you to your rooms. Would you like a flat, apartment or house?" Yin asked while checking Shiro's message.

"Erm before that can you tell me about what you meant earlier?" Asher asked as Yin glanced up.

"About what?"

"The fact that Nitha is tier 5 but doesn't have a human form like you. Are you perhaps a monster?" Asher asked as Yin nodded.

"Well I guess anything that isn't human is classified as a monster. Mum started as a monster as well but she had a human form due to her race. As for me, I'm a phoenix." Yin smiled.

Snapping her fingers, fire erupted out around her as a pair of eyes appeared within the flames.

Dispersing the flames in an instant, the party widened their eyes seeing Yin in her phoenix form. With purple feathers lined with hints of blue and red, she glanced down at Nitha who seemed to be in awe before transforming back to human form.

"Though I don't really like using that form since the taste of food is dulled." Yin shrugged.

"But as I said earlier, there should have been an opportunity for you to become human. I became human much earlier, though it might be because of my race. If you want, after I take you to your new homes, I can try to help you reach human form."

Hearing this, Nitha nodded her head vigorously.

"So have you guys thought about it yet? What kind of house do you want? And what platform do you want it in?" Yin asked, handing them each a tablet that had all the available places marked out.

Seeing a map of this city along with the platforms available, they couldn't even begin to imagine how much land this must take.

"Aren't you worried about tier 6 monsters such as dragons attacking this place? We saw a dragon destroy a somewhat large settlement a while back." Asher asked as Yin couldn't help but laugh.

"Pft ahahaha! Do you think a dumb lizard can do sh*t against mum's city? First of all, I want to ask you this question. How many tier 6's do you think are in this city?" Yin smiled as Asher furrowed his brows.

"3?" He guessed. If Yin had him guess, it means that there must be more than one.

"Wrong. There are more than 5 and there are more coming too. Now let me ask you, how many people do you think can kill tier 5's in this city?" Yin asked as Asher frowned.

"You can give a percentage if you want." Yin chuckled.

"40%?"

"Wrong. Everyone can." Yin grinned.

"What? That's impossible. Are you saying everyone in the city can, even children?" Cadmi asked as Yin nodded her head.

"Yup. It's not that they're strong but it's the tools that we have." Yin smiled.

"With a bit of training, even children can kill a tier 5 being. Plus, we're also flying in the sky so the only monsters that can target us are the ones that can fly." She shrugged.

Hearing all of this, the party didn't know how to react since a city of this strength seemed fake.

But seeing how serious Yin was, they knew she wasn't joking.

Looking at each other, they figured that it's probably best to see everything for themselves.

Discussing with each other for a moment, they decided to get a rather big house for all of them with enough space so that Nitha can fit in as well.

"Sure that can be done. Follow me." Yin nodded. Taking them through the corridors, the party couldn't believe what they were seeing. With the technology in this corridor, they felt like they were in a different world.

"Pst, hey, are you sure we're still in the timeline? Like what the hell is this???" Cadmi pulled Gordon down and whispered as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't ask me? I'm the dumbest one here!" Gordon replied.

"Actually I think that's me. I don't do much here except look after the food hall." Yin interrupted since she could hear them whispering.

'Is that something to be proud of???' Cadmi thought to herself as they continued to follow Yin.

Glancing out of the window, they could see the city and noticed a myriad of races walking around without conflict. Demons, demi humans, elves and so on. Remembering the scene of the apocalypse, it was as if this city was in a dimension of its own. A utopia.

Taking a deep breath, Asher looked down at the city in a trance.

Glancing up, he could still see the pillar of light in the distance which represented the relic appearing and understood that this was all real.

Seeing this, Yin smiled and waited for them since the people that came here for the first time always had that kind of reaction. It was perfectly normal.

'If we have time today, I might cook them a banquet at the food hall.' Yin chuckled since they technically helped bring Lyrica's father back.

Bringing Edvimar to the med bay, Lyrica sent out a message to Silvia who teleported here using a teleport node.

"You said that there was a serious patient?" Silvia asked as she glanced to the side and saw Edvimar secured to the bed using a mixture of chains and bandages.

"…. If you wanted to do bondage you could have done it in your own room rather than the med bay." Silvia said as she glanced at Lyrica.

"Oi! That's my dad! I had to secure him like this since he kept wanting to get up!" Lyrica replied immediately as the only one she wanted to tie up was Shiro!

"Wait your dad?!?!" Isn't he supposed to be dead?" Silvia asked in shock.

"Yes he is but long story short, he's not. He's heavily injured so I want you to see if you can heal him." Lyrica replied as Silvia nodded.

"Alright, give me a few moments."

Walking over to Edvimar, Silvia snapped her fingers as a tier 5 magic circle appeared above him.

Scanning his body, Silvia noticed that his passive healing was being hindered and there seemed to be something slowing down how quickly his mana travels around his body which would hinder healing spells.

Tapping the terminal a few times, retrieved a few small stickers of sort.

Placing it on his body, they acted as anchors as a tier 6 formation materialised using these points.

Watching everything happen, Lyrica leaned against the wall with a worried face.

*Sigh….

"Lyrica, even though you said that your dad is alive, I wouldn't class him as such. Much like Shiro, it's a miracle that he's even standing, walking or doing anything right now. His soul is damaged to the point where his mana is directed to holding it intact. Once he runs out of mana…" Silvia didn't need to finish her sentence as Lyrica's heart pounded in shock.

"What can we do then?" Lyrica asked.

"The best we can do right now is constantly supply him with mana. I haven't been able to heal souls yet hence why Shiro is still injured. If we can keep supplying him mana, there's a chance that he can be properly healed in the future." Silvia replied as Lyrica bit her nails.

"Don't worry, I won't be fighting for a while so I can tough it out." Edvimar smiled as Lyrica looked at him with worry.

"You haven't let me finish yet. I said that 'I' haven't been able to heal souls yet but with Shiro's mastery, she should be able to help you stabilise it if nothing else. It'll decrease the amount of mana you'll need to use." Silvia said as the two of them nodded their heads.

"Ah right, speaking of Shiro I still need to put up the barriers." Lyrica said as she pulled out her tablet.

"Eh? How come? Aren't we far- Actually, if Shiro told you to put up the barrier we probably should. Put it on the maximum just in case since you can never trust what Shiro says when it comes to the power of attacks." Silvia paused as she remembered who they were talking about.

"Mn."

Dashing through the tree's, Shiro approached the corrosive area.

Glancing around her, she made sure that she was alone before activating a camouflage skill and sent a few drones ahead. She wasn't sure if the area was still around so if it was, she'll just kill this avatar. Once this avatar died, she wouldn't be able to spare enough energy to make a second one.

Thankfully, it seemed like the zone had shrunk as the drones ventured forth without any problems.

Taking a deep breath, Shiro followed after the drones.
