Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 249 Lyrica's Background



Hearing her nonchalant response, they couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed.

"What do you mean by they're visiting us?" Lyrica asked as her face was slightly pale.

"The elven royal family is coming in four days to take you away back to the elven continent." Shiro repeated. Sitting down, she handed her a doc.u.ment that she had secretly printed.

When she was in Natash's office, she took the chance to memorise some of the doc.u.ments revolving around the nobles.

"…" Lyrica stayed silent as she read about their arrival confirmation.

Taking a deep breath, she decided to come clean about her background as well.

"Heh, I don't know what day it is today but seems like all of us are coming clean with our secrets." Lyrica chuckled.

"Well you don't have to worry about me. Both my parents are alive and well. They're your average government worker." Madison rolled her eyes since she didn't have a mysterious background like the two of them.

"And you already know about me." Silvia smiled.

"Mn. Where should I start?" Lyrica asked.

"Wherever you want. We got plenty of time." Shiro replied.

###

After listening to Lyrica's story, Shiro got the general gist of what was happening. Her father was the king and her mother married into the royal family.

Her father was Edvimar Valenstaine, one of the strongest elven warriors in their era. As for her mother, she was called Talia Faeha, also known as the Elven Saint.

However, before they met, he had been forced into several political marriages that he couldn't reject. Her father placed the people above his own happiness and only stopped this when he met her mother.

Distancing himself with the political marriages, he focused solely on the family he made with Lyrica's mother.

Lyrica didn't know about the inner conflict of what had happened but she knew that the elders weren't too happy about this. She guessed that it must be because the elders had made a move to deal with her mother that her father was implicated. With both of her parent's dead, she was very vulnerable and her cousins were more than happy to eliminate someone that had a chance of inheriting the throne.

"With the royal family in the state of conflict, my mum's maid managed to evacuate me to New York and make all the preparations required for me to live a quiet life without having to worry about the state of the royal family." Lyrica sighed.

Meanwhile, Shiro had a small frown on her face.

'That's impossible. There's no way that they would just let a lowly maid evacuate her that easily. No matter how high level the maid was, she would have been caught. Someone must have interfered with the matter and ensured Lyrica's survival. But who?' She narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

"Is there a problem?" Lyrica asked as she could tell that Shiro was worried about something. Whenever she pulled this expression, she was always in deep thought.

"Mn, a small one but it doesn't matter for now. I'll get my answer soon. However, the fact that they're putting their attention on you is a little troubling. Seems like we were a bit hasty when we power levelled you up before." Shiro shook her head.

"What if we just run? Surely they can't continue to chase us through the world right?" Silvia suggested.

"What if they send lots of people over level 100 though? A single attack from them will kill us. Even now, four level 100's are coming in four days while they're also followed by a level 120 powerhouse." Madison reminded.

"While I doubt that they'll set that much manpower on us, they can still set a bounty for others to kill us." Shiro denied.

Not only that, this wasn't limited to the underground. The royal family could dub them as terrorists or international criminals. Once that happened, not only will be hunted down by both sides, this will also warn her enemy about her 'survival'.

'Damn. Kuromi, you've got quite a lot of enemies don't you.' Shiro thought to herself.

"Then what do you suggest we do Shiro?" Lyrica asked as she sighed tiredly. While she loved the memories that she had with her parents, she hated her identity as a princess of the elven race.

If it wasn't for this, she could just be enjoying life with her friends.

"I… Hmm. Honestly, I'm about as lost as you are. If it wasn't the royal family, I can somewhat handle it. But the fact that they have all this manpower and persuasion over the world is troubling. It'll be akin to staging a coup but with just the 6 of us." Shiro shrugged helplessly.

One of their options would be to try to convince them that Lyrica doesn't want to take the throne but Shiro doubted that they will accept that.  

Even if they did, as long as Lyrica continues to level up, they'll keep an eye on her.

"Just level up as much as you can for now. I'll think of something eventually. After all, we can't just do nothing for these four days." Shiro smiled.

"Are you not going to join us?" Lyrica asked. It had been a while since they last partied up.

"Hmm… sure why not." Shiro nodded. She was just going to use these days to refine and create sustainable weapons anyways. Spending it in a dungeon wasn't a bad choice either since she could still refine the weapons while in combat. It was just that the progress was going to slow down remarkably.

Once that was out of the way, they decided to talk about what each other had been up to recently.

Lyrica's group had mostly done faction quests and level ups in the dungeon. Occasionally, they would go to the arena for some experience but that wasn't often.

"Say, why are you lot still level 50? Shouldn't you have classed up already?" Shiro asked as this had been bugging her. She's seen them a few times now and they were always level 50. She had assumed that this was them laying low and using the disguise stone but from the way they describe the process of gathering materials, it seemed like they hadn't classed up yet.

"Erm… we're still level 50 since we haven't gotten everything for our class up yet." Lyrica replied with a scratch of her cheek.

"Eh? Shouldn't it be relatively easy?" Shiro tilted her head.

"What was your class up requirement?" Madison asked out of curiosity.

"Well my original choice had changed and became a hidden class. But previously, I needed four tier 3 elemental attunements, 1,000 C classed mana stones, a C rank raid completion with more than 30% contribution, a fairy element core and a corrupted demon core." Shiro replied nonchalantly.

"PFFFF!! you needed what!?"

They all widened their eyes in horror. Initially, when they saw their class up requirements, they had thought that it was hard. But after hearing about Shiro's requirement, they realised that they had it easy.

"What? If anything, the hardest parts out of this was the two cores and the raid. Hell, even if I didn't do the raid initially in the quest world, then I would have done it a few days ago when I finished the emergency raid in Cairosa." Shiro tilted her head.

"However, with that being said, if I didn't get lucky with the quest with the rewards, I doubt I would have unlocked my current class of being the Sylph Queen." She admitted.

"You know, a normal class up shouldn't be this ridiculous. Even just the raid completion is borderline impossible you know?" Madison said as the corner of her lips twitched slightly.

"Is it? I mean, the cores might take some luck but the raid should be ok if you're skilled enough." Shiro furrowed her brows a little.

"Why what are your upgrade condition?" She asked curiously.

"Some materials, solo C ranked dungeons and only 200 C ranked mana stones." Madison replied.

"Same for me but rarer materials and more C ranked mana stones." Lyrica followed up.

"I just need to heal a lot and study knowledge." Silvia smiled wearily.

". . .huh."

Hearing their responses, she now knew how ridiculous her class up was. While she did have an idea at first, she never paid attention since in her first life, she was propelled to level 200+ straight away.

"Well we should be able to get you some materials then. In these four days, let's prioritise on classing you up." Shiro smiled.
