[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 233: First Day (1)

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


After finishing her daily practice schedule, Noelle returned to the apartment room, sitting in the living room for an unknown amount of time.


Unknowingly, he finished his daily portion of the exercise faster than usual. As a result, Noelle could only sit still while waiting for the time to go to the bar.


This was his first day of official work. Naturally, he was quite excited, as well as somewhat nervous about this. After all, this was the first job Noelle had in her entire life.


Two of his pet rats have been fed, and he has also changed clothes that are ready to go outside at any time.


All he had to do now was wait.


However, Noelle was unable to sit still. While waiting for an important time to come, he naturally became more agitated, unable to sit still, and a little too excited that he would do something in a hurry.


This is not normal for Noelle who can always maintain her composure. That was why, he became a little curious about this uneasiness.


After half an hour of waiting, Noelle realized that there was still plenty of time before her work schedule began.


In the end, he couldn't wait any longer.


Noelle sighed, then got up from her chair. He then left the apartment after locking all the doors.


"I don't think it hurts to come early … "


Instead, Noelle felt that it was a good thing.


Noelle walked down the stairs, and looked towards the apartment building where she lived.


Felice had already left much earlier, so Noelle was going to set out on her own now.


With both hands in her coat pocket, Noelle walked out of the apartment building, and headed straight for the bar.


It didn't take long for him to get there. The streets were still quite quiet, but there were many merchants who had already prepared their items on the spot.


Without being bothered by anything, Noelle immediately pushed open the door, and entered the bar.


There are no customers yet. Of course, because it hasn't been opened yet.


The bar will open at nine in the morning, while Noelle's shift starts at eight. Which means, there are some preparations that Noelle must do alone as an employee.


Upon entering, Noelle quickly found two different figures.


One of them was the girl he knew quite well; felice, who was using a piece of cloth to clean the translucent glass in the wardrobe.


The other was a woman Noelle had never seen before. She was a woman with conspicuous chestnut hair, had wide bright blue eyes, and a smile that looked somewhat stiff.


Noelle did not recognize her, but based on the uniform she was wearing, Noelle quickly concluded that this woman was one of the servants here.


"You must be Noah that Felice and the Captain talked about. Nice to meet you, you can call me Rita. We're on the same shift, so please cooperate."


The woman named Rita quickly introduces herself, and lets Noelle process all of it herself.


A second later, Noelle finally regained her senses. "Ahh, greetings. Please cooperate. My name is Noah Ashrain, you can call me Noah. Nice to meet you, Miss Rita."


"No need to be so formal. Our age is not so different. You can call me Rita, and in return I will call you Noah. Whaddya think? "


"Sounds like a good thing."


It hasn't been five minutes since they've gotten acquainted, but Noelle and Rita have already been seen getting along with each other.


(It is very easy to get along with each other when with people who are easy to get along with. )


Such was the view that Noelle had towards Rita— - a woman who was easy to get along with, and friendly towards everyone.


Behind, Felice only smiled happily when she saw the interaction of the two of them.


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


After a brief chat with Rita and Felice, Noelle went straight into the staff room.


There, Noelle immediately changed her clothes into a preset uniform; a long white shirt with a grey vest and a black tie. That's the guy's uniform in this bar cafe.


Although it was a bit awkward, Noelle did not mind to wear it. After all, the uniform model was similar to her usual style of dress.


Putting her things into the locker that had been provided, Noelle then returned to the place where Felice and Rita were busy chatting.


"Is there anything I can help you with here? "


Felice quickly turned her head, and smiled at him. "Oh, Noah. Thank you, but I've finished all the preparations. We just need to open a cafe, and you and Rita can start working."


Apparently, Felice was more comfortable to call this place a cafe, and not a bar. Noelle didn't care much about this, but she would remember it because small details like this could have an effect in her interaction with Felice.


"really? Does that mean I'm late? " ask Noelle with a clear tone of regret.


Felice frantically shook her head. "T-not at all! Instead, you came earlier than scheduled! This is a good thing! Besides, finishing all the preparations before the cafe opens is my duty … "


"Felis, he's just kidding with you" Rita said, giggling.


"Eh? Really it?! "


With Felice quickly grabbing both of her shoulders, Noelle had no other response than the wry smile she had already let out.


"Speak about the task ... Is Tian coming? "


Felice slowly recovered from her embarrassment, so that she could finally answer normally. "Tian's? Ahh, it's Wednesday, so Tian will be working at night. But, maybe he'll come by noon to work on some things with the Captain."


"Heee .. Does that matter? From what I know, night shift employees will continue to work at least until three in the morning. Is she gonna be okay? "


Her expression did not change, but Noelle's tone slightly changed to worry.


In response to that, Rita simply laughed in her place. "All you're talking about here is Tian. The old man could last for three to a whole week without sleep. He had a physique and magic powerful enough to maintain his own body condition under pressure."


"Who are you calling 'Old man'? "


I don't know since when Tian stood behind him. In fact, Noelle herself was unaware of that.


No one there was aware of Tian's existence, until he finally decided to reveal his existence first.


"Sir, please don't show up all of a sudden. You surprised Noah! "


The first to respond was Felice. He with a slightly irritated look stood up, and reprimanded Tian who was still standing behind Rita.


"H-hey, Felis .. I was surprised too, you know? Why don't you mention my name too? "


Facing the reprimand from Felice, Tian only smiled gently. He nodded his head and looked back and forth between the three employees who were relaxing before the opening.


"There's something to do with Dolf. You guys do your job as usual."


" " "All right." " "


Although his position was not yet clear, everyone naturally regarded Tian as the Vice-Captain, or the person tasked to be the liaison between the members and his Captain, Dolf.


After Tian went to Dolf's room, the three sat down again.


"Tian looks rushed. What the hell's going on? "


Rita, who had a lot of experience and understanding towards Tian could clearly feel the difference. It is also the same for Felice, who wants to ask the same question.


"Come on," Felice replied as she shrugged both of her shoulders.


Noelle was new here, so she would rather just respond, rather than engage in talks like this.


Clearly, Noelle also felt a strangeness towards Tian.


(His footsteps became faster than yesterday. In addition ... His gaze also changed slightly .. )


As someone who was quite sensitive to the emotions and feelings of others, Noelle could clearly sense Tian's change.


(Perhaps, the results will be visible soon.)


After all, Tian was facing Dolf right now. It is possible that they are discussing something important.


(I think I should be prepared, for the possibility of being directly involved in this.)


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


Noon.


Noelle was behind the counter table, brewing one cup of coffee for a customer who had just arrived.


The break will be coming soon, but there are still plenty of customers Noelle has to serve.


Different from yesterday, the customer this time is dominated by people who have just reached the age of maturity according to Republican standards, which is 20 to 22 years.


Apparently this cafe bar is often used as a gathering place for students from local universities. They often gather at this place during lunch hour, especially to debate something.


This is in accordance with the concept that Noelle already understands. At first, the cafe was made as a place for students and lecturers to debate something. A typical place with intelligence.


In addition, Noelle also just found out that there is a university in this place.


"This is your order." Noelle kindly placed the coffee cup in the presence of a young man whose age did not differ much from his identity as Noah Ashrain.


"Thank you," the young man replied with a friendly smile at Noelle. He then turned his head to the side, then chatted with an old man who was there.


Although Noelle was unwilling, she could still listen to all their conversations.


(Ohh, they're discussing the theory of gravity, huh? Is there a Newton here? I wonder, if I had discovered that theory of gravity first here, what would the name be Noelle's Law? )


Throwing away all her random thoughts, Noelle went to the kitchen with a tray of dirty plates and glass cups.


There, Rita was busy washing dishes while chatting lightly with Felice.


No one really takes care of the kitchen. All of them shared the same portion of the task, and now it was Rita's turn to do the dishes.


Finally, Noelle finished serving the last customer.


He went back to the staff room to rest for a while. However, Tian suddenly walked out of one of the doors with a serious look.


"What's going on? " ask Noelle.


Tian without further ado replied, "Bar will close early. At four in the afternoon, gather in the meeting room with the others. I'll make a letter to call the other members."


As he said that, a black cat suddenly appeared from behind his feet.


(What is it ... A familiar?)


Tian did not say anything more, and instead directly put on his coat, and walked quickly outside the bar.


"What's going on? "


Felice, and Rita who had returned to rest also felt something strange from Tian. They asked Noelle as confirmation.


"She said the bar would be closed early. Also, the city was asked to gather in the meeting room at four o'clock."


"All members? Am I too? "


Felice is a civilian staff, and she rarely plays an active role in special missions. Tian simply said to gather in the meeting room, and gave no further explanation as to who should go there.


"Maybe .. It would be better if we all came."


Noelle herself did not believe that she would be directly assigned. After all, he was a new member who still needed a lot of knowledge.


Whatever problems will be discussed in the meeting room later, Noelle is quite looking forward to it.
