[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 63: Demand (2)

...****************...

"Hm hm .. Then please cooperate, Mr. [Sword Star] Noelle Lynneheim and Mr. [Thunder Sanctus] Cryll Light."

" "Alright, please cooperate—what did you say? " "

As soon as Terneth finished his words, Noelle and Cryll instantly froze from hearing the strange name.

" … Hey .. What a strange name it is … "

After a moment of silence, Noelle nervously asked Terneth.

Terneth who saw it instantly smiled and his desire to tease Noelle and Cryll instantly increased.

"To be precise, it's a nickname pinned on the two of you after scoring so many achievements in such a short period of time."

" " ……… " "

The two of them were completely silent, not because they were shocked, but because they could not accept reality.

Ignoring the reactions of the two of them, Terneth unceremoniously continued his words immediately.

"Depending on how popular you are in society or adventure, your name will spread and some strange nicknames will begin to be given to you."

" " ……… " "

"You got that name based on your pretty unique way of fighting."

According to Terneth, Noelle's fighting style of wielding multiple swords at once seemed very conspicuous and never seen by everyone, so she was expected to become the new 'star' among adventurers.

And Cryll earned that nickname because he controlled lightning to fight, as well as a 'ghost' figure that always stood behind him as if it were a guardian spirit.

Most people assume that the form of Sword Geist that always appears behind Cryll is the guardian spirit that Cryll has.

They thought of it that way because they knew absolutely nothing about a special-capable star weapon like Cryll's Sword Geist.

There are rumors circulating about how Noelle and Cryll were able to obtain their current powers.

Many people assume that Noelle is an atavis who has the blessing of the God of war so Noelle is endowed with the ability to control weapons.

The rumor should not be wrong, after all Noelle has the blessing of Goddess Anastasia who is the supreme God who has saved mankind hundreds of years ago.

But somehow Noelle did not want to accept the rumor.

Similar but different from Noelle, many consider that Cryll is an atavis who got the blessing of the God of the sky so he was able to lower the lightning to help him fight.

Of course, Noelle and Cryll had intended to directly refute the rumors, but they compactly thought that it would be safe to let the situation remain this way.

Noelle wanted to keep all the information about the star weapon a secret, because it would be dangerous if the public knew about it and started hunting down all those weapons.

As for Cryll, he had similar thoughts to Noelle, so he wouldn't tell anyone about the weapon.

At first Cryll never even told Noelle about Sword Geist, but Noelle had known about the weapon from the start, so she had no choice but to keep it a secret.

The other people who knew about the [Star Series] weapon other than the Noelle and Cryll group were people from the Light family who had very minimal information about the weapon, and it is likely that there are other [Star Series] users who know the information Anastasia once told Noelle.

It is important to keep that information confidential. Because, with just a single star weapon, one would possess strength equivalent to a battalion of troops.

That would obviously cause an imbalance in the world's military power.

(. .. Okay ... I'm fine .. Now .. )

After a moment of awkward silence, Noelle cleared her throat and spoke to dispel the tense atmosphere that had already filled the room.

"I'll take care of that embarrassing nickname later, for now .. Give me another detail about this mission."

Terneth caught Noelle's intention and smiled as he sipped his tea slowly then finally spoke in a calm voice.

"Alright, I'll send you the official request letter later, for now I'll prepare all the requests you made earlier."

Terneth waved the paper containing Noelle's drawings and a list of requests.

"Mhmm, then .. Olivia, can you and the others go first to the inn, me and Cryll still have to take care of some things here."

Noelle asked softly to Olivia.

Olivia next to him seemed confused about what Noelle would do after this, but she still nodded at Noelle.

{What about other reincarnators? }

Olivia asked Noelle telepathically.

In the eyes of others, she and Noelle only looked like a couple staring at each other for a long time, but Noelle and Olivia continued to have their conversation secretly through telepathy.

{We have no other choice, Olivia can reveal your identity and my identity if Olivia wants, but if they ask any further than that .. Please just ignore it.}

Noelle quickly made a decision.

Even if it wasn't a good decision. Currently Noelle was unable to think of any solution so she was forced to let their identity leak.

It's too late to avoid it anyway. That's because Olivia had said Tohka's name accidentally.

{Sorry, I messed it up .. }

Realizing her mistake, Olivia lowered her head in disappointment and apologized to Noelle.

But Noelle just smiled and stroked Olivia's head while being careful not to make her hair fall apart.

{No problem, after all the city will also meet them one day, this is only a little faster than I expected.}

"Mhmm … "

Olivia comfortably let Noelle stroke her head for longer.

"All right, are you guys done? "

Terneth with an emotionless voice called them back to reality.

Noelle watched her surroundings and saw Cryll and Charlotte looking at her with cold eyes while Stella looked at Olivia with an envious look while continuing to glance at Cryll.

"Nn, let's go … "

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Olivia immediately stood up and walked to the door while glancing towards Noelle who was smiling at her.

Olivia's cheeks seemed a little flushed, but she did not stop her steps and walked away from the room.

"Stella, can you wait with Miss Olivia for a moment? "

"All right, but not for too long … "

Stella with a face that showed a fresh dissatisfied expression stood up and walked away leaving Cryll and Noelle.

Charlotte and Chloe without saying anything followed her from behind.

Although Chloe wanted to stay longer with her master (Noelle), she with a slightly disappointed expression still left the room with Charlotte.

After making sure no one at the door eavesdropped on their conversation, Noelle and Cryll's expressions immediately changed.

"Well, now … "

"Is there anything I can help you with? "

Terneth who kept his poker face asked politely to Noelle and Cryll.

"No need to mince words anymore, Cryll! "

"OK~"

Noelle called Cryll with a crazy smile on her face, and Cryll answered her with the same expression.

In the next instant, hundreds of shining gold and white coins and long faded paper began to emerge from the empty air and pile up on the wooden table where Terneth's tea paraphernalia was placed.

Terneth seemed perplexed by what Noelle and Cryll were doing all of a sudden, but he immediately understood once Cryll took out the other item.

What appeared from Cryll's hand was a shiny-looking black card with some gold ornaments adorning it.

On the card it says 'Unter Tage' which is printed very neatly and beautifully.

Noelle and Cryll simultaneously let out evil smiles that they would never show Olivia and Stella.

"I feel like there's something fun going on down there, let us come along."

"This card is the ticket, right? It's not an easy thing to get this, you know? "

Noelle and Cryll respectively spoke to Terneth whose smile deepened.

"So yeah .. So ... I don't think you'll find it, it's so awesome."

Although her tone sounded a little disappointed, her face still smiled mysteriously and then she looked back at Noelle and Cryll while holding her body from shaking from giggling.

"Well, I'll show you."

As soon as Terneth answered, Noelle and Cryll's evil smiles deepened.

...****************...

While Noelle and Cryll were still in the meeting room with Terneth, the group of girls led by Olivia had reached the first floor after coming down several steps.

The first thing that greeted them once they got off was the admiration of the people around them.

It was already daytime, and Eisen was a fairly crowded trading city so currently, the guild was already quite dense with people.

Despite getting gazes from everyone, Olivia calmly passed them all without being affected in the slightest.

Some men tried to approach them, but they were stopped by other men.

Those people were intending to protest, but the man blocking them only let out a tired sigh.

"You're definitely new, yeah .. This is my advice, but you better not mess with those girls."

"Who are you?! "

Ignoring his protest, the man calmly explained.

"The girls are adventurers who have just been on the rise lately. The silver-haired girl reached the second rank in the tournament in Suiren a few months ago, three of them were C-rankers who gained their current position by eliminating all rivals in a fair fight."

"really? They are invisible to me … "

One of the people around them interrupted the conversation and stared at Olivia from a distance.

"Don't be fooled by his appearance, he has this kind of extremely brutal attack for the weak, he can freeze all these rooms if he wants to."

"Heee~ You seem to know them quite well~"

"That's because I've faced two of them in a tournament in Suiren."

"Eh? Really true?! Doesn't that mean you're so strong?! "

The person who had protested when he was blocked began to lose interest in Olivia and looked at the man who was blocking her with a shocked face.

It was natural, after all Suiren was known for the border region that produced adventurers with above average strength.

Suiren has adventurers ready to be used as combat assets for war between countries and invasions into uncharted monster territory.

It was due to the condition of the Suiren territory that was directly adjacent to other countries and the cursed forest that was rumored to be inhabited by top-ranked monsters, that condition made the soldiers and adventurers who were in Suiren experience a very drastic development on their level.

"Hee~ by the way, what's your name? "

The man asked curiously. Oa didn't really expect an immediate answer, but unexpectedly the man in front of her kindly introduced himself.

"People call me Gorgon, you're free to call me what I look like. Ahh, by the way I became an adventurer just to have fun and make some extra money, my real job is a butcher. Here's my shop address, next time you visit and order as many as you can."

" ……… "

While the man was being preoccupied with Gorgon's continued self-introduction, Olivia's group had left the guild and walked towards their inn.

Previously Terneth had recommended them an inn with facilities suitable for the girls, so Olivia and the others were happy to visit the place.

They did not have to worry about the room rental fee as the guild would bear everything, they only needed to take care of their own meal expenses.

After walking through several bridges connecting one island to another, Olivia's group finally arrived at the intended inn.

It was a huge building that made Olivia and Charlotte remember the Vinka inn they were staying at while they were still in Suiren.

When Olivia entered the building, she immediately frowned and intended to leave the building, but her legs would not move because her mind was so shocked.

In front of him was a group of teenagers who looked to be about his age.

"We've been waiting for you."

Lilith looked at Olivia with a serious look while folding her hands.
