[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 273: Stage and Screenplay

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


With a giant blaze from the Grandbell family mansion as the setting, Nantz walked up to Noelle.


Noelle faced towards him, not having any expression.


He had already seen the true figure of 'Noah Ashrain' a few times, but he was completely unfamiliar with it.


There was not a single piece that could be considered human from the figure, but it seemed like he was in an undeveloped state of emotions and feelings.


A boy who only acts based on what he thinks and feels. Such was the figure of 'Noelle Lynneheim' in Nantz's eyes.


His eyes only serve to see the truth behind a lie, and not look into someone's figure. That was why, to date, his conclusion towards Noelle was still hesitant.


While thinking about many things at an inhuman speed of mind, Nantz saw Noelle's lips move.


"The body that plays you and your servant is already in place. You can leave now" he said before looking back at the scene of the mansion that had experienced the great fire.


Nantz could not help his smile. "I know I can leave that matter to you. Thank you for doing it."


His thanks were sincere, without the slightest compulsion. Even so, Noelle did not respond to him and continued to watch the crowd trying to put out the fire.


Little by little the fire goes out as the security division that does specialize in fires is taken down.


But, whether the fire was extinguished or not, it had nothing to do with Noelle.


Noelle's only job is to 'create an accident that kills the Grandbell family chief and his servant'. More than that, not his business.


"What's your next plan? There's a secret base I've been setting up for a long time. You can visit him anytime, me or Robert will always be there."


Noelle hasn't decided on much.


So far, his biggest plan was to kill his identity as Noah Ashrain, and he had also prepared some additional plans for the future.


Moreover, he also had a task from Noir that he had to complete.


Noelle sighed, and replied, "Just give me the address. I won't visit often, but maybe occasionally. Anyway, chances are we'll always be involved in the future."


From the beginning, Nantz was one of the subordinate candidate members that Asterisk had to obtain.


The completion of this plan signaled the success of Noelle's mission to recruit three members; Kino, Harold, and Nantz.


It's not known yet, but Noelle will put the matter aside for a moment.


Since Nantz is a subordinate member of Asterisk now, it means that he will be heavily involved with Noelle in the future.


"That's easy. But, how should I contact you? "


True, Noelle hasn't told Nantz about how to reach him. Because all this time, Noelle had independently gone alone and met him directly.


" … You can directly send your letter through a familiar animal. It's how to call him."


Noelle took out a blank piece of paper, then wrote down the instructions to summon her new familiar animal.


For her own method of summoning, Noelle decided that it needed the blood of the summoner. So, if Nantz wanted to summon his familiar animal, he would have to sacrifice some blood.


This Noelle did just in case. He knew some bad things he could do if he had someone else's blood.


Under that instruction, Noelle added another method.


"In addition to the familiar, you can also contact me through them. Just give them your letter, or ask to meet in person if it's urgent. They have some people who can contact me directly."


The party Noelle listed was the Red Hood information agency group.


The group had several vampires directly related to it, so contacting Noelle by telepathy for emergency purposes would be a very easy thing.


Harold also knew that method of telepathy, but he never did it because he did not have the essentials he had to report.


Nantz happily received the paper from Noelle, then bowed kindly.


"Then I say thank you again. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything, I'll help you as much as I can."


"Alright," Noelle replied as she gave a small nod.


After receiving confirmation from Noelle, Nantz immediately raised his head and smiled, then turned around and walked away with Robert.


Now Noelle was alone, and she had no intention of leaving this place yet.


" ……… "


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


It's been four days since the fire broke out in the Grandbell family mansion.


Noelle is still in the town of Fencen, and there are no plans to leave anytime soon.


Right now, he was sitting on a park bench, confused by what he should do.


He is not in the form of Noah Ashrain, but Grei Noctis. His large body, accompanied by a stone-like stern face was enough to intimidate many people.


He had originally planned to pay attention to the situation in the Nautica bar from a distance, yet he was unable to do so.


There was a part of him that was afraid to see everyone.


( ... Are they okay? )


Actually it's a silly question. He already knows the answer.


There's no way they're okay.


Dolf, Mona, Dexter, and Felice have just celebrated their birthday party, but then they get word that Noah is dead.


It was not a funny joke, and it was not a joke at all.


Thinking of them all made Noelle develop a pain in her chest. Therefore, he decided to do something that would make him not think anymore.


Noelle let out a sigh of resignation, then got up from her seat.


He looked around, and confirmed that there was no one nearby.


Noelle immediately turned her wukud into a small bat, and started flying in a direction she was already quite familiar with.


There was the same building he always saw every day, the Nautica bar.


The signboard said close, but Noelle could clearly feel one presence from there. Her presence was quite weak, and Noelle knew who the owner of the existence was.


Breaking into the bar was an impossible thing for him to do at this moment. Peering into using《Clairvoyance》 also proved difficult due to the presence of a barrier that enveloped the entire bar.


Even so, there are other ways to check it out.


Noelle hid her presence, and flew close to the glass window that showed the entire room of the bar.


There, Felice, smiling as usual, was cleaning the table one by one.


But, there's something strange about that.


All the tables were clean, but he did not stop doing his activities.


His hand continued to rub the surface of the table with a cloth that began to be taped to the stain.


" ……… "


Noelle did not say anything, and just kept quiet while watching her.


Before long, Felice's movements began to slow down, and her smile also seemed to tremble.


While her eyes and smile began to tremble, Felice did not stop her movements.


He kept cleaning all the tables, until finally—


"Ughhm …. "


—The movement stopped completely, and Felice fell to the floor.


The crying started to break, and the smile on his face also instantly disappeared.


Even so, he did not let it bother him.


Felice tried to stand up, and continued the activities. But no matter how strong she held it, tears kept pushing out, and Felice once again had to stop moving to hold back the crying.


Noelle looked at the repetition from the outside, and could not help but have a heavy disappointment in her heart.


Of course Felice would feel that way.


Noelle felt stupid for failing to predict it.


Meanwhile, Felice was still trying to strengthen herself. But the tears that kept dripping were proof that the sadness was beyond the limits of his struggle. Eventually, Felice began to resign.


He let himself fall, and tears kept coming out. There was no longer any intention to rise up like before. He also did not bother to hold it.


Felice used her sleeves to wipe away the tears, but it seemed like she had done it too often since her sleeves were already so wet.


At that moment, a burst of light began to appear from the floor in front of him, and a flower emerged from the void enveloped in a warm light.


The flower had five large petals, was dark blue in color, and emitted a faint violet light. Its dark green stalk looks clean, without any cuts or stains.


Felice still did not understand the situation, and continued to pay attention to the flower, until she finally came to her senses.


Flowers are one of the many things she loves. Therefore, he knew quite a lot of the meaning of a flower.


The flower that appeared before him, was known to the people of the Republic as the Bluemarry Flower, which means the hope of happiness in the future.


Another meaning of the flower is 'the spirit for life that never goes out'. Because of this, Bluemarry flowers are often given to someone who is sick, or undergoing treatment.


As soon as she realized the meaning of the flower, Felice immediately flinched.


Felice carefully picked up the flower, carried it into her arms, then got up and hurriedly ran to the door. And after he opened it, he immediately looked around.


There were a lot of people passing by, but none of them cared about Felice. Felice is also not stupid enough to believe that one of them is the one who gave her the flower.


Felice ran west, but it was getting quieter. Then he came back and ran east.


There were quite a number of people, and there was no way he would question them one by one about who gave him the flower.


Until finally—


"Ah–! W-forgive me! "


Being too excited in search, he bumped into someone.


It was too sudden that he did not have time to dodge with the strength of his contract, so Felice immediately turned towards the person and bowed to apologize.


After he lifted his head, the menacing face and the cold gaze of someone he had never seen before made him tremble.


His hair was flax blonde like hers, but the man had an unruly type of hair, and was only brushed roughly upwards using his hands.


"Look that way."


Although it was cold and sounding heartless, for some reason the person felt completely non-threatening. Felice was somehow comfortable with the atmosphere of that person. However, before he could ask any further, that person had already disappeared.


Felice, who was left alone, was left confused and unable to understand the situation.


In the end, Felice simply hugged the Bluemarry flower, and formed a gentle smile while imagining the figure of Noah, someone she had loved even though she had not met for a long time.


"Is this from you .. Noah? "


Felice looked up at the sky, hoping the answer would come down, but it was futile.


He then chuckled, then walked back to the bar in a better mood.


Meanwhile, Noelle's figure in the form of Grei Noctis was still staring at Felice who was slowly disappearing among the crowd.


No one noticed it, but a gentle smile was created on his stiff face.
