Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 835 Questioning Balire

Sitting in front of a girl tied up to the chair, the party looked at each other before looking at the girl.

Right now, they were sitting in the office room of the fortress that they had just conquered since it was easier to question the candidate here.

"Are we going to kill her?" Madison asked out of curiosity since they only captured her since she seemed quite pitiful. The fact that she stormed ahead without even assessing their power told them that the candidate was a novice when it came to battle.

Whether that was because she had overlooked them due to anger or something else, it didn’t really matter since the final result was the same.

"I mean, if we want to kill her I can do it right now." Shiro shrugged.

"Let’s listen to what she has to say first. Depending on what happens, we’ll decide then." Lyrica suggested as the party nodded their heads.

While they were talking, Akog was trying to process everything that had happened.

So far, he had witnessed his princess slam her body through a reinforced fortress gate that Balire had paid quite a steep price for. Not only that, Shiro casually decided to knock out a queen candidate with a single bullet. Compared to their first meeting, the party’s improvement was monstrous. This was just over the course of a few months too!

Remembering that he had been stuck at his level for quite a while now, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

However, even if he wanted to level up, he was forced to take care of serious matters such as making sure their faction didn’t collapse. While he did get help from Trisil and Balrog, there was only so much the three of them could do.

"Right then, so the plan is to interrogate her then decide on what happens. Are you planning to make her into a vassal or something? Because I’m not sure she’ll choose you over rank 49." Shiro asked since she could tell that Madison was feeling pity for the girl.

"Mn... we’ll see." Madison glanced to the side since she understood that Shiro realised she was going easy on the girl.

Shrugging her shoulders, Shiro didn’t mind if Madison wanted to pity the girl since they heavily outpower her. However, if the fight was close, Shiro would kill her immediately.

Walking up to the girl, Shiro removed the bullet on her neck and injected the mana it had stolen back into her.

Healing up her wound, she took a step back.

"Urg..." Groaning softly, the girl opened her eyes and found herself tied to a chair.

"The hell!?" She cried out in surprise before trying her best to break out.

However, the rope was made from Shiro’s nanobots so breaking out was nothing but a pipe dream for her.

Gritting her teeth, mana flared from her body as two illusionary armoured arms appeared and tried to rip the rope apart but to no avail.

". . ." Staying silent, she slowly looked up at the party that was staring at her and couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.

"Err... this is a sturdy rope you have. Very well made. Where can I buy something like this?" Balire asked with a forced smile since she had expected her guardian to break her out but it didn’t even dent the rope.

"Thank you, I made it. Let’s see, rank 70 Balire Vernix, a queen candidate that has recently made an alliance with rank 49-"

"Pui, what alliance, it’s just being a slave with a better name." Balire retorted instantly since she hated that ’alliance’. If she could, she would have never agreed to it!

"Interesting. Seems like you aren’t on good terms with rank 49." Shiro chuckled while giving Madison a side glance since she knew the young girl wasn’t lying.

"Pui, who the hell would be on good terms with each other when it’s a guarantee that the weaker one would become the slave. The only reason the higher ranks aren’t fighting is because they’re afraid of losing power while the lower ranks eye them like rabid animals." Balire pouted while shuffling around on the chair since the rope was uncomfortable.

"Why don’t you give up on the alliance with rank 49 if you hate her that much," Madison asked.

"Che, as if I could. If I gave up, my family and I will be killed and our land would be forcefully taken. If I ’team up with her’, at least my family can still live. Even if it is basically equivalent to being a slave." Balire clicked her tongue and complained.

"So I take it that your main goal is to save your family then." Shiro smiled.

"Mn, if it was just me then I wouldn’t serve her even if I died! Who the hell wants to be a slave of that b*tch. But I can’t let mum and dad die because of my hubris. I’m not like big sis." Balire glared at the ground in anger.

"And I’m guessing you’re telling us all of this so that we can spare you since we seem like the soft kind of people." Shiro laughed as Balire blushed slightly and nodded her head since there was no point lying about that.

"I can’t die, if I die, she would definitely kill my parents." Balire bit her lip while trying to get out once more.

"Just a question from me, what was that?" Helion asked.

"What was what?" Balire tilted her head.

"The guardian thing. The arm that popped out." Helion corrected himself as Balire summoned the guardian arm again.

"If I tell you what this is, will you let me go." Balire asked with a frown.

"Well I don’t really care if you tell me or not since we know a person that has something similar to this." Helion shrugged.

When he and Madison were being trained by Chelsea, she would use her own guardian to beat them up so it was hard for him to not recognise it.

"Who! You know someone that can use the family guardian!? Where is she?!" Balire gritted her teeth and glared at Helion.

"You seem to have a vendetta against her." Madison raised her eyebrow.

"Only the demons of the Vernix family can use the guardian. Anyone who can use it has our blood flowing in their veins. All of the Vernix family is living in the centre of the demon continent except for one. If you have seen it before, it means you met my older sis. Nizia Vernix. She was the one who gave up on becoming a queen candidate and almost caused our family to be killed!" Balire explained with a glare.

Looking at one another, both Helion and Madison frowned since Chelsea had clearly said that her family was killed by demons.

"Teacher said that her family was killed by demons. Perhaps she’s an extended family rather than sister." Helion asked.

"I doubt it."

Silence ensued as it was becoming a little awkward.

Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro decided to knock her out again so that they could have a private chat.

Making a pistol, she shot another bullet at her neck as she was knocked out before she could say anything.

"Since there is now the possibility that she is Chelsea’s sister, perhaps we should contact her before we deal with the girl here." Shiro suggested as both Helion and Madison nodded her head.

Pulling out her phone, Shiro called her mum who picked up almost instantly.

[Darling do you need something?] Mio’s voice rang out.

"Mn, do you know Chelsea’s contact number? She was the one who trained Helion and Madison." Shiro asked.

[Oh? You’re looking for Chelsea?] Mio asked

"Mn, we kind of need her thoughts right now." Shiro nodded her head.

[Sure let me give you her number.]

Ending the call, Mio sent Shiro Chelsea’s number which she dialled immediately.

Waiting for a few moments, she heard the other side pick up.

[How did you get my number, who are you?]

Before she could even greet her, she had to push her phone away from how loud it was. With her enhanced senses, it was surprising that her eardrums didn’t rupture.

"This is Shiro, Mio and Koji’s daughter." Shiro explained as Chelsea paused for a moment.

[Ahh ok. I’m guessing you got my number from your parents. What do you need?]

Hearing this, Shiro took a deep breath.

"We have come across a girl who seemed to have a connection to you. Her name is Balire Vernix." Just as she said this, Shiro heard a bang on the other side.

[Where are you right now. I’m coming over.]

Hearing the seriousness of her voice, Shiro knew that Chelsea was connected.

"I’ll send you a map now."

[Thank you.]

Ending the call, Shiro sent her a map of their current location.

"Chelsea is coming to our location now." Shiro said as she turned to the party.
