Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? Chapter 1206

Talking to the others for a little longer, Shiro made her way back to her room. Before entering, she sensed Nan Tian coming around the corner.

"Shiro." He called out.

"Hm? Was something up?" Shiro asked as he furrowed his brows but shook his head.

"Or perhaps you wanted to sleep in the same bed again?" Shiro grinned as he rolled his eyes.

"How are you feeling? Is your body ok?" He asked as Shiro nodded her head.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Just a bit tired though." Shiro waved her hand.

"I'll wake up in a few hours to experiment. If I don't wake up by then give my door a knock ok?" Shiro said as Nan Tian opened his mouth. Hesitating for a moment, he nodded his head.

"Rest well."

Watching Nan Tian leave, Shiro sighed and opened her door.

Locking her door, she laid down a set of runes before collapsing on her bed.

Gritting her teeth, she held her body while trying to not let out a cry.

"I already warned you during the dinner but you insisted on talking more." Nimue frowned as she had been constantly repairing Shiro's body from the inside this entire time while Shiro made it seem as though there was nothing wrong.

Unable to reply, Shiro held her body in a foetal position as her fingers dug into her arms, drawing blood from how much strength she was using.

Shaking her head, Nimue transformed herself into multiple streams of water that coated the wounds that continued to open across Shiro's body.

The nanobots within her that were 'dormant' running rampant once more before being supressed by her mana.

"You should sort out these nanobots first or else I'm forcefully purging them from your body." Nimue warned.

"Don't… They're an important clue that we need. If I can figure them out we can start making progress." Shiro squeezed out before letting out a small cry of pain.

Meanwhile, Nan Tian leaned against the walls outside of her room. Closing his eyes, he sighed heavily.

'If she didn't sense me here then she's probably at her limit. She was already acting weird during the dinner.' Nan Tian thought to himself.

Understanding that it was probably done by the creation energy within her body, he figured that she must feel as though everything within her was melting away. Taking a deep breath, Nan Tian wanted to go in but understood that with Shiro's personality, she wouldn't want anyone to see her like this. If that wasn't the case, why would she choose to 'sleep' over experimenting?

Flexing his arms, the armour made from the Radiant Knights wrapped around his arms once more. As they were made from Nanobots, there wasn't much trouble for him to control them. Unlike Shiro, he wasn't that far into the Destruction Element so there was only a slight burning sensation nothing more.

Dismissing the gauntlets, he made his way to the labs.

Opening the doors, he was surprised to see Aarim standing there, reading the documents on the subjects they've just acquired. During dinner, he had written a small document so he didn't expect Aarim to read them already.

"How's Shiro? Yin and Lisandra told me that something was wrong with her but they weren't sure. They mentioned something about experiments and thought that I could probably help." Aarim said while chewing on a mana stick.

"Not good. I can't give you a detailed description since I wasn't able to get a good look but from what I could tell, her seal on the creation nanobots are probably getting destroyed, forcing her to make new seals. During the period when she's making new seals, they'll be killing her from the inside." Nan Tian said as he summoned the Radiant Knight armour and placed it on the table.

Sitting down, a new console appeared in front of him as nanotech arms held the armour upright.

"That bad huh? I had hoped that Shiro would have been more open to us but I suppose she doesn't want us to worry." Aarim said while cracking her neck.

Pulling out some research of her own, she sat down near Nan Tian.

"How many hours do we have?"

"Minimum of 4 hours. As for Maximum, hard to say." Nan Tian shrugged.

"4 hours huh? Well since it's Shiro let's half it to two. She would probably get a better seal sorted out and be back on her feet in 2 hours. From what I've heard, she placed the seal hastily after the battle so this one should be better and last longer." Aarim said as she flicked her fingers an a giant magic array appeared in the room.

"This is the compiled research that I have on the other side. If you use it as reference against that armour of yours, we can probably make some connections. If we're lucky, I can use my mage tower as a portal to the other side." Aarim smiled before flicking over a mana stick.

Catching it, Nan Tian threw it in his mouth and smiled.

"Either that or we help her find a clue on how to obtain creation. But knowing Shiro, she might just jump into the deep end. Regardless, we got two hours to do as much as we can so that she can have an easier time."

"Two hours real time yet. But our 'time'? Not so much." Aarim laughed before tapping her finger on the table.

Runes lit up on the walls as they radiated a familiar emerald glow.

"Time magic?" Nan Tian raised his eyebrows.

"Not what you think. I glanced at some details regarding the training rooms that Shiro had made. I just made some adjustments with my knowledge of space magic and this is a refined prototype. The time dilation is weaker than the rooms that she has but it's more stable and portable. If I want to make more improvements I'll need her since she's the only one with knowledge on time magic." Aarim shrugged before using magic to create a holographic clock.

"With the time dilation we have around 20 hours give or take. A little better than 2 hours is it not?" Aarim smirked.

Chuckling for a moment, he nodded his head and the two of them started their research.

Laying on her bed while covered with sweat, Shiro took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Collapsed on the ground was Nimue who had been in full focus for a little over two hours now.

"Sorry about this." Shiro muttered quietly.

"Don't think too much. If you're sorry about it stop making me work my ass off like this." Nimue chuckled as she climbed onto the bed and laid down next to Shiro.

"Though I kind of signed myself up for this haha. Oh if only I knew what I was agreeing to." Nimue smirked, causing Shiro to laugh softly.

"Do you regret it?"

"Nah. It's a little annoying and exhausting. But regret it? Not ever. Also you should probably take a shower. You are covered in sweat." Nimue shrugged as Shiro nodded her head.

"I'll tone down the experimenting if I can. Thankfully I don't need to use my mana since Jormungandr is providing us with everything we need." Shiro sat up and made her way to the showers.

"That's a relief for me. Now if you'll excuse me, I actually need to sleep. Fixing wounds caused by creation energy is rather exhausting." Nimue said as she transformed into a stream of water that entered Shiro's body.

Just as Nimue disappeared, circuits appeared on Shiro's shoulder. A small piece 'stood' up on her shoulder and rubbed against Shiro's cheek.

"Of course I can't forget about you Error. Thanks for helping us." Shiro chuckled.

"Mother's body is very weak right now. Your power remains the same but you can't take any hits or else the seal will break. I don't know how long it'll last for but I'll maintain it as best as I can." Error said within her mind.

"Mn, I'm counting on you."

Disappearing from her shoulder, Error went back to her mana realm and concentrated on the seal since it was in a rather delicate state right now. Even with everything at their disposal, there was simply too much that was unknown about creation energy. The seal was at best considered a band aid solution.

"I should read more on Isvelger's notes." Shiro muttered with a small smile before having a shower to refresh herself. Once she's done with this, she'll need to deal with the test subjects, Nan Tian's new armour and the nanobots within her.
