[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 78: Gathering (1)

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


"Actually .. What is going on here … "


Noelle with a frustrated face tried to ask Cryll who was sitting still and closed his eyes beside him.


In response to that, Cryll made a serious look, then let out a sigh of resignation.


"I'm not sure, but .. I guess they'll be seen on the assault mission we're going to be on today? "


Noelle widened her eyes in surprise when she heard Cryll's reply.


"At first I was confused, too, but .. It seems that fucking Terneth gave them permission to follow us."


" ……… "


Cryll added her words and made Noelle frown even more unhappily as she glanced at Norman sitting on the sofa before her.


The participation of the princely group should not be possible because the mission they will run does not have enough clear information.


It could have threatened the prince's life if there was an error in the information.


Of course that guild would be the party charged if something bad happened to the prince and the other members of the noble family.


(Actually what that bastard was thinking .. )


There is absolutely no advantage that Terneth will get if he involves a group of princes with a mission that Noelle will run, except–


(Terneth wants to involve us in the coup process, yes .. )


Once he thought about it, he had absolutely no information about when Terneth's coup plot would begin to materialize, so he was at a standoff in making an escape plan.


While Noelle was busy with her thoughts, the door again opened and coincidentally displayed the figure she was suspecting in her mind at the moment.


"Sorry to keep you guys waiting a long time, I have some work to do before I come here."


Terneth kindly greeted everyone gathered in the meeting room.


"I see that everyone has gathered here, then .. Just start the meeting."


Terneth clapped his hands, then all the doors and windows in the room were instantly closed and locked at once.


A knight standing behind Norman looked alert as Terneth did so, but Norman immediately raised his hand to stop his movements.


"I'm sorry that I suddenly did, but .. Lately I detected some spies from other countries in this city. So, for the sake of the safety of His Highness the Prince and the others, I must tighten security."


Terneth explained with a troubled face. Noelle thought that the 'spies' she was referring to might be hers who had infiltrated the mansion and made quite a mess there.


"No problem. Rather than that, can you explain what's going on here? You can, right? "


Noelle asked with a threatening look. Terneth who was the target of that gaze then smiled while wiping away the cold sweat that appeared on his forehead.


"Y-yahh .. You know .. I can't say it here, so .. Come with me."


Terneth pulled Noelle's hand and quickly led her deep into a corner of the room.


Terneth warily watched his surroundings and then whispered to Noelle.


"Yahh ... His Highness the Prince asked me to be included in the assault mission I gave you, and .. I do not have enough political power to refuse His Majesty's request … Refusing his request was akin to sending my head into a guillotine pit, and of course I didn't want that. So ... I can only agree to it … "


Noelle unhappily clicked her tongue while muttering 'useless basics', then asked confusedly.


"Wait, to involve a member of the royal family into a dangerous mission like this, do you have permission? "


Terneth with a confident face answered Noelle.


"About that it doesn't matter, I've already obtained permission from the Earl directly in this matter."


"So yeah ... Uh, wait ... Is Earl in town? "


"Hmm? Yeah, of course you are. Although he was so busy with his magic research that he did not have time to appear in public."


" … So, yes … "


Satisfied with Terneth's reply, Noelle smiled as she nodded her head several times, then returned to her seat.


(Maybe I can use it .. )


Noelle silently smiled as she thought of that.


Meanwhile, Terneth who was following Noelle had returned to his position and was kindly putting his hands together.


"Well, since the problem is resolved, now it's good for you to make your preparations as best you can as this will probably be quite a dangerous mission."


Norman nodded with understanding.


After all, he had already been informed of the insect monsters that were their targets. And there is also the possibility that the monster has made a new group with the remains of monsters that escape from stampede.


Norman did not know the situation in Suiren as the stampede progressed, but he could imagine it just by hearing the news circulating.


While he and his group were still busy talking to each other about their preparations, Noelle interrupted and looked at Terneth.


"Speaking about preparation, what about my request? Is everything ready? "


"About that there's no problem. It's all done. Please wait here for a moment."


Terneth immediately came out of the room. After a few minutes, he returned with two men carrying several boxes full of sharp weapons.


"Put it all there" Terneth told the two men behind him.


Terneth and the two men then placed the box they were carrying right in front of Noelle.


"This is all your order, I hope it's what you want."


All the boxes that Terneth and the two men were carrying were filled with swords and knives that looked like they were new.


" … Sir, what is it? "


The knight who had been silent behind Norman asked curiously at Terneth.


Not only him, but everyone except the people in Noelle's group looked extremely curious and wondered at Terneth.


The people who were often involved with Noelle had already gotten used to it when they saw the pile of sharp weapons. After all it was related to Noelle's quite unique fighting style.


Upon seeing the box, Noelle stood up from her seat and walked over to the box filled with the weapon.


"Cryll, help me."


"Do you really need? "


Cryll with one eyebrow raised asked Noelle, whom Noelle retorted with a cold look.


"All right, all right," Cryll said as he lifted his body and approached Noelle.


The attention of the people in Norman's group was on Noelle and Cryll who were on the floor.


"Hmm? "


While they were busy checking the quality of each weapon Terneth had brought them, Cryll curiously tried to open up the conversation.


"That ... About the raccoon .. Why did you bring it here? "


" ……… "


Noelle's movements stopped and her gaze turned to Olivia.


Olivia, who had been sitting quietly, was staring intently at the eyes of the little raccoon sitting on her lap.


It was the raccoon that Noelle had found while they were still in the meeting room of the inn earlier.


Noelle left it to Olivia to take care of while she would solve some problems first.


The raccoon obediently obeyed Noelle's words and sat quietly on Olivia's lap while looking at her.


Olivia and the raccoon had been staring at each other for some time since they entered the room.


At a glance, it only looks like a beautiful girl who is playing with her stuffed animals, but.


"Yahh, kai know .. I've known the raccoon for quite a long time .. Even though it's only been a few weeks anyway."


"Hmm? "


Noelle gave a small smile, then went back to telling stories while endlessly examining all those weapons.


"You remember the town where we first met after you left Suiren? I found him there."


" … When? "


Cryll curiously tilted his head.


Not only Cryll, but everyone around them was also focused on listening to Noelle as they were also quite curious about the raccoon.


"You remember the day I disappeared from morning to night? I was actually outside the city."


"So you were there, huh, you son of a bitch?! "


-–I searched for you for hours because some freak kept chasing me using your name!


At least that's what Cryll wanted to say, but he held back knowing that Noelle would ignore him.


"When I was walking in the forest, I found a pack of wolves gathering in one place. Of course I was curious, so I finished off all the wolves, and saw what they were crowding."


"It was then that I found the little raccoon, suffocated and almost dead with bite wounds and scratches filling his body."


" … Did you help her? Not like you … "


"That's rude. Despite this, I don't have a high resistance to anything cute. I've proven it myself a long time."


Noelle unhappily replied to Cryll's words.


It is true that Noelle does not have a good enough resilience when fighting something cute. Especially cute animals.


When he sees cats or other animals that he thinks are cute, he will reflexively and unconsciously stop doing his activities and start stroking them.


It was quite a troublesome matter for Noelle who wanted an efficient life.


"Well, of course I won't help anything just like that. I wanted to do some experiments."


" … Experiment, yes … "


Cryll with a wry smile repeated Noelle's words.


"The record was badly injured the first time I found it, and I was suddenly interested in trying 'what would happen to him if I gave my blood'."


Based on what happened to Chloe, the answer should be obvious.


All creatures that consume its blood will regenerate and turn into vampires.


Of course it would happen only if he gave his consent.


Because it would be troublesome if there was an enemy who suddenly drank his blood and experienced a strange increase in strength.


Cryll doesn't know about Noelle who is a vampire, but he does know that Noelle has some blood-related abilities.


So he was not too surprised to hear Noelle experiment with her blood.


"But .. Contrary to my expectations .. The raccoon only experienced full regeneration of his wounds. And not only that, even all the viruses and diseases that the raccoon has also disappeared with his wounds."


"Eh? Isn't that a good thing? "


Cryll asked with a astonished face. Unknowingly, he had already finished his work in checking the quality of all the weapons that Terneth had given him.


"Sure that's a good thing, but … "


(I wish there was something greater going on .. )


Noelle remained silent and kept the thought in her head only.


"Yahh .. Because nothing happened to him, I immediately left him after he had regenerated, but .. I did not think that this little fellow would follow me here … "


Noelle said as she slowly stood towards Olivia.


He had already counted and checked all the weapons that Terneth had given him, and the number became in accordance with what he had requested after he had obtained the additional amount from Cryll.


Most wild animals will become very tame when facing the person they have helped.


And that happens in this world too. The raccoon actually became very attached to Noelle after being helped from the brink of death.


It made a happy smile appear on Noelle's lips, then she raised the raccoon with both hands.


The raccoon silently looked at Noelle while tilting his head in a cute gesture.


" … Does Noelle want to keep her? "


Olivia asked with a gentle glare directed at him. In response to that, Noelle simply smiled wryly and put the raccoon back into Olivia's lap.


"It's going to be hard … "


Noelle did not say anything more and returned to the pile of swords laid on the floor by her and Cryll.


Noelle one by one inserted all those messages into her spatial warehouse while ignoring the astonished gazes of everyone who was fixed on her.


The knight who had since been silent without taking out a word then frowned in annoyance and looked at Terneth with a condescending look.


"Hey, who's that bastard? "
