Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 938 Damage To The Soul

"What????" Mio couldn’t help but mutter seeing the state of Shiro’s soul. If this happened normally, one would be in a coma since they couldn’t function without a full soul. But despite that, Shiro was actually walking around.

"I... don’t know how to deal with this. With you missing a third of your soul, you should be unconscious right now and in a coma. But instead, you’re walking around like nothing is wrong. Well you’re missing two senses but this is very abnormal." Mio frowned while observing Shiro’s soul.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed that there was a small hint of gold near the missing areas and it was slowly healing itself. The process was slow but Mio understood that it was probably due to this that Shiro wasn’t in a coma.

"Ah.... I see.... Darling, your identity as a Demi God is probably helping you right now. Your soul is getting healed very slowly but it’s preventing you from falling into a coma. Though you’ll feel exhausted often. Healing souls is a complicated problem especially something like yours. The best thing to do right now is to let it heal naturally. Though if it doesn’t heal up before your grandparents arrive then they can help you out." Mio explained.

"Is that so? Hm... well at least I know it’s getting healed naturally." Shiro smiled since that was one thing off her chest.

"How long do you think it’ll take?"

"Considering the speed of recovery... I think about 3 to 4 weeks? Maybe more if it gets complicated." Mio replied.

"3 to 4 weeks. I won’t be able to recover in time for the relic in the north then. We’ll have to take a more defensive approach to everything." Shiro muttered with a frown.

"Are you planning to fight? I suggest you sit it out if you are. Damage to the soul is delicate and anything could make it permanent. It’s already surprising that you’re not in a coma." Mio crossed her legs with a raised eyebrow.

"I know but the next relic isn’t one that we can miss. It’s a rainbow grade item that could summon gods. Having this fall into the wrong hands could mean serious trouble." Shiro sighed while laying her head on the table, feeling a little fatigued. She was already meant to sleep back in her office but Nan Tian called and she came to her parents house right after.

"That does sound dangerous. Perhaps we should gather as much man power as we can for this fight." Mio muttered.

"Including me and you, we have around 13 people that are either near the peak of tier 5 or in tier 6. If we include the mechs that Shiro had down us before, our fighting force will be higher." Koji said as he glanced towards Mio.

"Mn, I think that should be enough for a fight against the others. Especially if we tried to delay it a little and join at the end." Mio nodded.

Hearing this, Shiro frowned.

"I don’t know if there will be any more people like Jasmine with strange powers but me and Silvia are on standby should anything go south. I’ll use my own rainbow grade item if I have to."

"Wait, I thought rainbow grade items are rare? How do you have one already?" Mio asked curiously.

"I’ve got two. It was a reward for completing the god trials on mount Olympus. The first lets me use the powers of the primordial gods themselves. The second lets me summon them. I’m thinking of maybe summoning one of them for now since I can’t see properly or use my body to its best extent. The first option would be somewhat wasteful." Shiro explained.

"That’s... Rather powerful isn’t it? If rainbow grade items are like this I can see why you wouldn’t want them to fall into the wrong hands." Mio frowned.

"We’ll see what happens then. Just try to sit out for as much as you can before going in. Shiro, me and your mother’s main priority is to keep you safe, not the relic ok? If it comes down to it, we won’t hesitate to sacrifice the relic for you." Koji said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Shiro smiled and nodded her head.

"Thanks dad." Shiro replied as she leaned on the table.

Before she knew it, she had already fallen asleep as the exhaustion took over her body.

"Hais, the best way to heal herself would be to do nothing. But knowing Shiro she wouldn’t sit still since she has to make sure this city is running properly." Mio sighed, bringing out a blanket for Shiro.

"Yeah, she’s been like that for a while now. At least it’s just Shiro though. If Keomi was like that I don’t think we’ll be able to rest easily." Koji sighed since Keomi knew when to rest more compared to Shiro.

"Indeed." Mio also sighed as she laid on the sofa.

"I didn’t think that her soul would be damaged to this extent." She muttered.

"Is it bad?" Koji asked.

Peeking at Shiro to make sure she’s sleeping, Mio looked over at Koji.

"When people suffer this kind of injury, even if they do recover from their coma, they’ll lose a large sense of ’self’. It’s like their experiences have just vanished and everything that influenced them disappears. So far there hasn’t been anything different but I don’t know what else this kind of injury has done to her. Hopefully, it stays as just no sense of sight or touch." Mio whispered as Koji crossed his arms.

"Is there anything we can do for her then? As her parents." Koji asked.

"There was. I used to know where some soul nurturing herbs were but the world has changed so the location is unknown. For all I know, it might even be in a different country all together." Mio shook her head.

"The most we can do now is to just support her I guess." Koji nodded.

After resting for a short while at her parents’ house, Shiro eventually woke up and made her way back to the command centre since the event should be ending around now.

Sending out her senses, she could see that there were still a few people left so she sent out a notification.

[The event will end in 30 minutes. Those that are still out return to the city before the time is up as we’ll be travelling north. If there are monsters spawning, we will not be able to protect you.]

After sending out the notification, Shiro could see that most of the adventurers still in the city decided to return while a few stayed behind to look around a little more.

Walking to the exchange spot, Shiro checked the records to see if anyone found anything good in the city. But most of it was miscellaneous items that will help relieve some boredom.

’Well I excepted as much. Regardless, it should be enough for now. We’ll travel north and see if I can get some information on this relic. Maybe Madi or Isilia has some information since they are both Queens as well.’ Shiro thought to herself while sending a message to the both of them.

She wanted to see if the system told them anything since she couldn’t see her own.

Making her way to the command centre, she saw that both Madi and Isilia had arrived.

"What did you need?" Isilia asked curiously.

"Nothing much. I was just wondering if the system has told you anything about a relic in the north. Apparently, the beast queen has received information about the rainbow grade relic so I was wondering if the system has told you anything. Due to some problems, I am not able to see the system right now." Shiro chuckled.

"Oh? Hmm... the system hasn’t told me anything about a relic." Madison shook her head.

"What about you Isilia?" Shiro asked.

"Nothing for me either. If it is information about a rainbow grade relic, maybe we’ll get a notification in the future?" Isilia replied.

"True. Hm... if the system tells you anything can you notify me?" Shiro asked.

"Of course. Though what happened? Why can’t you see the system?" Isilia asked.

"Oh it’s nothing much. I can still function normally just that I can’t see the system for a short while. Give it a few weeks and I’ll be fine." Shiro chuckled.

"Well since you’re here we might as well talk about what we should do with the demons and elves. I want to set some plans for development." Shiro smiled, gesturing for them to enter.

Talking for a little while about what they should do such as increasing the platform size, they eventually returned to their platforms, leaving Shiro in the command centre.

"Ha...." Sighing out heavily, Shiro couldn’t help but look at the screens filling the room and feeling a little bored. She wanted to fight but as she was, if anything showed up that could serve as a good challenge it would be life threatening.

Shaking her head, she decided to change her appearance and wander the streets of Asharia for a while.
