Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 941 Glen and Celeste



Clearing the mountain wasn't difficult considering the power of the mechs. Most of them were able to take out two or three of the monsters before sustaining quite a bit of damage since they weren't that proficient in dodging their attacks.

Since the pilots were low level, it's hard to guess where the attack might come from. There were a few who were able to dodge but that's mostly thanks to guessing the direction from the way the monsters moved their bodies. But this method was like a coin flip.

Within the pilots, there was a small portion that could just keep attacking without letting the monster touch them and Glen was included in this.

Overall, Shiro couldn't help but pity the monsters a little. They should be a symbol of fear but instead, an army of mechs charged into their home and killed everyone.

Looking at the mech reports, Shiro could see that everyone's levels were shooting up which meant that she could start introducing the second generation standard units that were meant for those with better physiques. With the weapons that she could create, they'll be unstoppable within the realm of tier 5.

'However, I need to start developing weapons for killing things in tier 6. While I'm good at experimenting, I have to say I'm not as good as the scientists back in Aria. Perhaps I should set up a research guild and pass them the information about nanobots… No that's a bit dangerous. I'll have them research into weapons then. Even if it's conceptual, as long as the numbers work out, I can make it with my nanobots. Even if they know the blueprint, they won't be able to recreate it.' Shiro mused to herself as she decided to make a weapon research facility. Even if the weapon was conceptual, as long as the theory is on point, she'll be able to make it.

{You'll also need to give them some information about those in tier 6 so that the weapon could actually damage them. Hell, I'd be surprised if the weapon could actually hit them since they could dodge the bullets with ease.} Nimue reminded.

'Don't worry, I know.' Shiro smiled.

Sending out a notification for everyone to return, she controlled the AI for 2 specific pilots that had demonstrated great skill during this excursion. The first was Glen. He showed remarkable mech control as well as an understanding of redistributing the force through the mech to enhance the impact of each hit.

The second was a girl called Celeste. Looking at her records, Shiro could see a red haired woman that always seemed to have an angry expression. Her performance on the battlefield was rather… wild as the humanoid mech almost seemed like a beast under her control.

Her fighting style was extremely close quarters and brutal, opting to use her bare hands to break a monster's jaw and killing them by crushing their bodies.

Shiro loved it since it reminded her a little of her own fighting style when it came down to it.

Looking at her other records, a smile crept up on Shiro's face since her training in the army was also impressive.

Sending a notification to the two, she had them make their way to her office in the military.

Dismissing the blade of my mech, I took a deep breath and looked at my surroundings. Quite a few corpses had already started to dissolve since the stomach acids of these monsters were ridiculously strong. Without magic protecting them, they would eat themselves from the inside out.

Just as I was about to make my way to the next area, the mini goddess hologram flickered for a moment.

[The excursion has ended. All units are to return to the city.]

[Private Glen, this message is for your ears only. I want to see you in my office when you return.]

Pausing in surprise, I looked at the hologram and realised that there was an awe-inspiring aura that wasn't there before.

[I'm sure you are a little confused but don't worry, you're not in trouble. I just wish to discuss your future role in the army due to your performance.] She chuckled.

Snapping her fingers, I realised that all of the internal damage and fatigue that had built up over this fight was healed in an instant.

"Understood." I replied, controlling the mech to make its way back to the base.

[Good.]

Flickering again, the hologram returned to normal.

Taking a deep breath, I couldn't help but feel a little excited that the goddess had actually noticed me.

Unable to wipe the smile off my face, I hurried back to base.

###

I was raised by a monster out in the wild. He knew human tongue and taught it to me. He taught me how to fight and how to survive by using mana.

His name was Kaiser but I called him dad. At first, he seemed to be raising me up to eat me but he didn't.

Though even if he wanted to eat me, I didn't mind. He was the one who raised me while my parents abandoned me. But dad said that he was going to die soon and that I should go to a human city to see what life is like there.

He said that it was a selfish dream of his to want to feel like how a human parent would and prevented me from living like a normal person.

He spoke of strong people in the world that I could look up to. With power, one didn't have to live in fear. Nor would they need to be restrained.

But I didn't want to go. A few years passed and he died since he couldn't level up to the next tier. His finals words were for me to go to a human city and live a proper life.

I followed his will but the way people looked at me was disgusting. It was like I was nothing but trash by the roadside. Those that wanted to take advantage of me were killed.

Kaiser taught me that since I was a woman, there was trash in the world who would use my body even if I said no. That's why I needed power to protect myself and live freely.

So I killed. I killed and I killed using the methods that Kaiser taught me.

Then the world changed. Large monsters, bigger than Kaiser appeared and they killed everything in sight.

I wanted to run since my instincts told me that I would be killed if I stayed but I couldn't run fast enough.

I was bitten in half and killed. However, I didn't die. A beautiful woman appeared and revived me. She asked me to run and her kindness reminded me of Kaiser who looked after me.

I watched huge metal things descend from the sky and kill the monsters with ease. Monsters that Kaiser would struggle with could be crushed with such ease? But the truth was before me.

Listening to the goddess, I ran and was taken to this giant city. There was a giant screen that showed the goddess saving everyone. That kindness she showed was something I should admire. At least that's what Kaiser taught me and I understood why.

It was warm.

She let me live in the city without one wanting to harm me, even the demons that Kaiser talked about were nice here. I was given a home and a small robot to help me when I needed but it didn't feel right. I didn't work for this kindness.

So when I saw that I could join the thing called an army and pilot one of those metal things, I registered immediately. I don't need the things called guns since I liked to fight with my hands.

So I broke one and tied some of the pieces to make the claws that are similar to the ones that Kaiser had.

I got some training and piloted the mechs but it felt weird. It didn't suit me so I asked the mini goddess if I could make some changes.

I made it so that I could use claws in the mech and fighting became easier.

The monsters that dwarfed me and Kaiser were killed with ease and I finally felt good. I felt that all the things the goddess gave me were finally earned but there was still something missing. She saved my life and Kaiser taught me that saving a life is one of the greatest things that people can do.

And if I was to have my life saved, I should repay the one who saved me.

But I didn't know what I could do.

Then the mini goddess talked to me.

[Private Celeste, this message is for your ears only. I want to see you in my office when you return.] She smiled.

{Don't worry, it's nothing bad.} She chuckled.

"Ok." I nodded.

I wondered what the goddess wanted from me.

Whatever it was, it might help me repay her for saving my life.

When I arrived at the office, I saw that there was another person besides me, a boy who seemed determined. He had the same look as I did, we both wanted to repay the goddess.

Maybe we can become the thing that Kaiser called friends.
