[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 102: The Emergence

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

" ……… Who is he? "

Noelle whose consciousness had yet to fully recover looked at the girl in bewilderment.

The girl had a childlike appearance of about five or six years old. Her platinum-white hair adorned her thin porcelain skin, making her look very inhumane.

Olivia, who was also still in a semi-conscious state, seemed confused by the existence of the child. He blinked his moist eyes a few times and scratched his hair.

Because of the investigation they had done together last night, their minds were much more tired than their bodies, which was why they both took longer to recover.

Their tangled faces showed a very clear expression of confusion while the sleeping child right between them was breathing quietly.

"Who ... This feather ball? "

Noelle once again asked without taking her eyes off the child. Even so, Olivia did not answer him at all. The two of them were clearly confused by the presence of the child that had appeared all of a sudden.

Before long, the little girl's featherballs opened her eyes slowly and wriggled inside the blanket.

His face looks very sleepy. He grabbed Noelle's hand and hugged her while her eyes slowly closed quietly.

Noelle and Olivia looked at each other confusedly and thought about this situation. In his mind, he began to draw up the chronology that had happened until he came to this situation.

The two of them did an investigation into all the problems Noelle had experienced until she could not remember the time → They both decided to rest and sleep → When they woke up, they both decided to take a break, the little girl was already right between them.

"What the fuck?! "

Noelle's shout echoed in the 6 × 6 meter room, making Olivia's body flinch with reflexes.

And more than that, the little girl who had been sleeping quietly right between the two of them immediately opened her eyes in panic and began to cry.

"No-Noelle?! "

Olivia tries to calm Noelle down. However, the sound of crying from the little girl who was right next to him really caught her off guard. Olivia reflexively hugged the girl tightly to calm her down while Noelle was still scratching her head in surprise because of the sudden event.

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

"Hey, Cryll .. Can you help me out a bit? "

While Cryll was in focus enjoying his breakfast, Noelle's presence suddenly appeared behind him and made all his appetite instantly disappear.

"Owh, man .. You're making my food bland" said Cryll exasperatedly and began to turn around.

As soon as he turned around completely, he was struck by Noelle's completely gloomy figure with messy hair and lifeless face.

He knew that Noelle had indeed become a little lifeless lately. However, this was much worse than he thought.

His skin became paler, and his gray eyes became darker as if losing their light.

" … What happened to you? "

" ……… Many things … "

As she tried to ask, Noelle simply avoided her question by turning her gaze the other way and laughing helplessly.

It's about nine in the morning. On a normal day, this is the time to start activities. However, the activity hour has now been accelerated to an hour before the morning bell rings, which is exactly at eight in the morning.

Hundreds of workers began to do their jobs to complete the reconstruction process that is now being carried out, and several others were seen busy serving people from the shelters.

In one of the canteen tents in the refugee area, Noelle sat in her chair without biting her food in the least.

Cryll who was before him was naturally confused by that. Despite that, he tried to ignore his gloomy atmosphere and asked clearly about what had happened.

" … How should I say it .. It all happened so suddenly, and boom, I'm here now."

"No, even if you explain it like that, I won't understand, okay?! "

" ……… "

Cryll's forehead twitched a few times, while he himself was trying to maintain a smile on his face.

He exasperatedly thrust the metal fork in his hand into the grilled meat that was right in front of him, then ate some of it with just one bite.

"Hey .. Can you help me? "

-–Of course not.

Or at least that's what Cryll thought before he finally saw Noelle's resigned face.

In reality, he was not at all interested in helping Noelle now, it was due to his own desire that tried to limit the 'personal area' between them.

Noelle's personal affairs would only remain her own private affairs. That's the thought he had. However, for some reason he could not use his idealism at a time like this.

Cryll was only able to sigh resignedly and ask Noelle in annoyance.

" … Depends on what you need … "

Getting a good response from Cryll making Noelle's face instantly brighten, her eyes instantly showed a faint glow of hope to Cryll who was sitting before her.

"Thank you! Really, thank you! I really need your help! I need you to go to the children's clothing store and buy some clothes for me! "

"You're crazy, huh? "

Cryll's face was instantly tinged with a very clear expression of disdain. He looked at Noelle with condescending eyes and seemed to be spitting towards her head at any moment.

"I know you're weird, but .. I didn't think you had that kind of interest."

Cryll stood up from his chair and was about to leave. However, Noelle immediately grabbed and pulled her hand so firmly that Cryll almost lost his balance and almost fell backwards.

Fortunately, he was able to survive by stomping one leg firmly to the ground.

As he turned to release Noelle's grip, he saw Noelle who was looking at him with crazy eyes and shouting.

"I won't let you go, damn it! You have to help me! If you leave here, I swear I will haunt you and all your descendants even if I have to die! I will spread all the disgrace you have about the *piip* fantasy you have! I swear you won't be able to live quietly again, okay?! I'll also tell everyone that you have an *piip* taste for women over the age of 70! "

"That slander is too cruel even for you! "

"Whisper! Like I care about that! Anyway you have to help me get out of this situation at all costs! Or I'm going to spread thousands of volumes with the title 'Fantasy *piip* that's Wild With Cryll! ' and a sequel with the title 'Pose*piip*Amazingly Exciting' to the rest of the world! I'll also tell everyone in your family about it! "

The two of them shouted at each other and began to attract the attention of everyone in the tent.

When Cryll realizes that public attention is being directed at him, he realizes that he has been played by Noelle since entering the tent.

Noelle accidentally takes him to a tent that is more crowded than where they were before so that he can pose a greater threat to Cryll.

Right in front of him, he saw the cruelly smiling Noelle while pulling both of her hands and pleading for her help.

No need to wait until Cryll refuses, his reputation will already be ruined once he leaves Noelle here. In any case, all Noelle's earlier screams had already been heard by everyone in the tent and made them stare at Cryll with a look of wonder as well as disgust.

Cryll clicked his tongue and immediately took Noelle away from the place.

After finding the right place, Cryll asked and started the conversation.

"So, what do you need in there? "

"Follow it first, I'll explain later" Noelle replied.

Shortly thereafter, they finally arrived at one of the clothing stores that was still open and Noelle without saying anything else went straight into the children's clothing area and bought a few sets of clothes from there.

The clothes he bought were a one Piece white dress model that was comfortable and easy to use, with a size that would fit on the body of a five-year-old child.

Cryll is of course confused by the reason why Noelle bought it, but he asks nothing and follows Noelle in silence.

Upon arriving at her house, Noelle immediately gave a paper bag with several sets of clothes in it to Olivia who was waiting for her.

The two of them did not say anything to each other, and Olivia immediately entered the room with the pouch Noelle had just given her.

As Noelle and Cryll are waiting on the sofa in the living room in a tense atmosphere, Stella and Chloe emerge from the room where Charlotte is currently resting.

Those who have not been out of the room since some time ago are of course confused by the atmosphere formed between Noelle and Cryll.

The two of them tilted their heads simultaneously and walked over to the two men.

"What are you guys doing? " ask Stella.

Cryll turned to her, and replied, "Let's go, Noelle forced me to help her, but .. I don't know what it is yet."

The answer Cryll gave was not so clear that Stella and Chloe were still confused. However, it didn't take long for all of them to understand the problem.

Noelle's bedroom door opened, and Olivia walked out of it, along with a girl with an age that looked like five or six.

The girl was wearing the clothes Noelle had just bought her, and she held Olivia's hand tightly as if unwilling to let go.

"O-oi ... Noelle .. Don't tell me you ... Kidnapped the girl?! "

Cryll immediately asked his question timidly to Noelle, while Noelle immediately answered him in a nearly snapping tone.

"There's no way I'm doing that, you idiot! "

When Noelle snapped at Cryll, the girl holding Olivia's hand looked surprised and immediately hid using Olivia's body as a barrier between her and Noelle.

In response to that, Olivia simply smiled wryly and patted the girl on the head, then slowly pulled her out.

" … Who is he? " ask Stella confusedly.

Olivia didn't know how to answer. He only smiled in confusion and patted the girl's head a few times gently.

"Once, but he suddenly appeared in our room. When we woke up, he was there. And … "

There was no continuation of the words, he just pushed the girl forward a little and faced Noelle.

The girl fearfully started calling Noelle with a clear name that would shock everyone.

"Pa-Papa … "

" " " ……… " " "

Noelle, however, simply turned her face the other way so that no one in the room could see her expression.

"Hey, Noelle .. This kid .. Just called you 'Papa', right? "

Cryll's toneless voice revealed the question everyone wanted to say.

Olivia who was right behind the girl just smiled wryly and came forward to break them up.

The girl started calling Noelle 'papa'. Noelle ignored him. The girl lowered her face dejectedly as Noelle did not even look at her.

The sight made everyone there except Noelle feel concerned, they reflexively instantly gave a reproachful look at Noelle.

"What's? "

Noelle who could not stand being stared at like that immediately looked at all of them with annoyance.

"This kid .. He's your son, isn't he? " ask Cryll while pointing at the girl.

Noelle quickly shook her head.

"No! That's not possible! I've never even seen his face in my entire life! "

"Your lies are so obvious! His face looks a lot like yours, damn it! And that hair! Her hair color matches yours too! "

"I told you it wasn't! Two different people could have similarities in terms of their genetics! "

"Yes! But the probability level is very small, okay?! It's clear he's your son! "

"No way! After all, he looks like five or six years old! There's no way I could have a child at an age that doesn't even have a dirty thought yet! "

"Ohh, that's right."

Noelle let out an irritated sigh at Cryll who insisted that the girl was Noelle's child. He then turned to the girl who was staring at the floor sadly.

"What ... Papa hates me? "

(Supply .. )

It was a pity, but Noelle did not have much resistance to something cute. So he was easily subdued by the sad face of the girl.

Her small, pouting figure made Noelle almost hug her reflexively. However, he was somehow able to refrain from doing that.

Perhaps that was also what happened to Olivia as she stared at the girl with a warm look from behind.

Noelle shook her head and crouched down, looking at the girl with a smile.

"Emm .. I don't know why you call me 'Papa' like that, but ... What's your name? "

The girl looks happy when Noelle wants to talk to her, then her face is confused again when Noelle asks for her name.

"Name? But Papa hasn't given me a name."

" ……… "

Noelle's forehead twitched when she heard his answer. He didn't even know his own name, or rather, he didn't have it.

Noelle scratched the back of her head and intended to ask about one or two more questions to confirm a few things.

"Mmhmm .. Do you remember anything? Like ... Why do you call me 'Papa' like that? And why did you suddenly appear in my room? "

Instead of answering, the girl simply tilted her head in confusion then stared at the floor with pouting lips.

"I understand ... This is quite serious … "

Cryll who suddenly muttered to himself caught the attention of everyone including Noelle. Noelle gave her a look that seemed to say 'explain everything you understand! ' with a slight threatening aura.

Despite being stared at with threatening eyes by Noelle, Cryll seemed unaffected, or rather, he was used to it. He just shrugged and looked at Noelle with condescending eyes.

"You, impregnate another woman, don't you? "

Without taking a second, Cryll's figure instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

(Ignore the fucker.)

Noelle's body emitted a faint violet-like purple glow along with Cryll's disappearance.

Olivia who saw the faint light released by Noelle's body immediately tilted her head in confusion.

"Noelle .. What color has yours always been like that? "

Not only was Olivia curious about it, but Stella and Chloe also gave a questioning look to her.

Cryll who had previously disappeared also suddenly appeared beside him in clothes filled with dust and wood chips.

"You're right, the colors are different."

Everyone will have different colors depending on which nature or type of magic circuit they have. It was a very basic knowledge for magicians.

It's not clear how many colors there are in the world. There's too much so it's hard to record.

Noelle and Olivia have little resemblance to their mana traits. Noelle's color is bluish white, while Olivia's is white that looks a little 'dusty' with silver.

Different from the memories of all of them, the color which Noelle's body emitted right now was violet. It was really a contrast to the previous one so everyone easily realized that.

In fact, Noelle was also confused by the change.

"I don't know .. I just realized it too" he said, shaking his head.

Thinking about the many problems he had to solve in such a short period of time made his head ache a little. Noelle tried to calm her mind and tried to save all those questions for later.

For now, he will return to the previous topic. Noelle looked back at the girl in confusion and stroked her head for a while before finally letting go again.

The girl seemed to be so enjoying the elusan that Noelle gave her that she closed her eyes happily, then again showed a sad face once Noelle let go of her hand.

"Eemm .. Do you know anything else? Like ... Why are you sure I'm your 'Father'? "

The girl's face changed and looked at Noelle with an expression that seemed to say 'Why are you asking something obvious? '.

" … Papa is Papa! "

That was the only answer he gave. Of course it was not enough to answer the question Noelle had.

" … Then .. Do you know anything about ... Who gave birth to you? "

The girl again tilted her head in confusion. Maybe because he didn't understand the question Noelle was asking.

Olivia came forward and crouched down before the girl with Noelle, then corrected the question Noelle had asked earlier.

"Do you know who your 'Mama' is? Can you tell us about that? "

" … Do not know … "

The girl lowered her head dejectedly as she answered the question Olivia asked.

Even so, Olivia did not scold him for not being able to answer him and instead stroked his head gently to calm him down.

Once the girl had calmed down, Olivia looked at Noelle with a bright smile on her face.

"It must be me, right? "

"What? "

"That's ... The person who should be her ... 'Mama', it must be me, right? "

His voice faded and should be barely audible in the slightest, but the question he asked was strangely able to be clearly heard by everyone there. His face flushed slightly when he realized that. However, he still forced himself to get an answer from Noelle.

"Where did you get that belief? "

"Isn't it clear? "

Olivia tilted her head in confusion, then continued her words, "I mean, look at her, her appearance is quite similar to Noelle, but .. Her hair is not completely white, it must be me, right? "

(No, even if you say so, it is not enough to make a conclusion.)

The girl's appearance was indeed very similar to Noelle. Or rather, the girl was the embodiment of the more feminine version of Noelle. Her face did not show the androgynous features Noelle had, but most of the characteristics were quite similar.

The only thing that differentiates them both is that the girl's hair color has a bright mix of platinum silver.

That was enough to give a very clear difference between the two.

Olivia thought that Noelle could never have interacted intimately with any other girl or woman besides herself, and the color mix in her hair was also quite compatible with her.

That was why he easily concluded that the girl might be his 'child'.

Although .... It may be just his own selfishness that has certain expectations so he makes such a conclusion.

"Even though you say it like that .. Seen from anywhere, this kid is about five or six years old, you know? There's no way he'll be born and grow up in just one night."

As soon as Noelle said it, Olivia nodded in disappointment. However, his face again showed a ray of hope when he thought of an idea.

"Then, until we find its true origins, we can let it stay with us, right? "

The heartfelt question was uttered by Olivia with great hope to Noelle.

Noelle was a little conflicted with this. However, he was unable to do anything more so he could only agree to Olivia's request.

After all, he was not cruel enough to throw a girl into the street just because he did not know her origin.

In addition, Noelle was also interested in the girl's origins. If Noelle let him stay with her and Olivia, he would have plenty of opportunities to investigate a few things.

And on the other hand, Noelle might also be a little hopeful that the girl's existence will bring a good change to their lives.
