[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 28: The Wolf

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

At the same time that Noelle was dealing with Lindsey, it was a wide street in the middle of the forest.

A luxurious train surrounded by fully equipped bodyguards can be seen there.

The chariot had a lotus flower on the door and a flag hung over it.

It was the emblem of the Suiren margrave family.

"Hahhh .. Dad always sent me for something troublesome"

"… You must speak politely miss, Mr. Suiren sent you to duty because master trusts you"

"Forget it, after all, you're here Ellen, which good father would send his daughter to a cunning political pig's nest? "

The voice that blurted out those harsh words came from a beautiful blue-haired girl and blue-eyed lapis lazuli. She is the only daughter of the Suiren family.

Sena sera Suiren's.

Beside her was a woman in her heyday, Ellen, a maid. Sena was the maid who had always looked after Sena since childhood, since both of her parents were top-tier nobles, they were always preoccupied with various jobs.

Of course, it does not mean that both of his parents will just abandon him, on the contrary, they both love Sena excessively.

Due to time constraints, they never gained the freedom to play with their only daughter, so they both asked Ellen to take care of her.

Ellen herself was born into a family that had been hereditary servants or followers of Margrave Suiren, so their level of trust in her was very high.

Currently Sena was on her way back to her area after being sent to deal with the neighboring nobles.

Suiren was in a region bordering the cursed forest, a forest filled with extremely dangerous plants and monsters. The deeper you go, the less chance you have of survival.

In addition, Sena is expected to be the successor of the family later. So it is natural to provide a very strict escort.

Only when he's with Ellen can he relax.

As Sena elegantly drank her tea, the carriage they were riding on suddenly suffered a huge shock.

"W-what happened? "

Sena screamed with a voice that sounded rather panicked while the sound of iron colliding with each other sounded from outside.

(Assault?! )

She turned her head slightly to peek out of the window, but Ellen's hand pulled her before she could see everything.

Ellen had a serious expression on her face, it was an expression rarely seen even by Sena who was always with her.

"… Miss, take cover behind me"

Sena could only sit behind Ellen obediently while Ellen pulled a pair of daggers from behind her skirt.

He suddenly swung the dagger in his hand into the empty air, but a crashing sound clearly sounded from the dagger.

After that, an arrow struck the floor a few meters from where Ellen stood.

"Hoo? Pretty impressive to see me fend it off"

An unknown voice echoed inside the carriage, before long, Ellen's instincts sounded a very loud alarm, ordering her to hide.

"…! Missis! "

Ellen jumped up to hug Sena and fell on the floor of the carriage with a small impact, but it was a cheap price for the safety of the two.

The roof of the train is gone. It was clearly a slash mark on the wall that was split like butter.

"Your instinct is impressive .. Are you really a waiter? "

The voice spoke again, but this time the owner of the voice showed himself clearly.

"… A true servant should at least be able to fight to protect their master"

Ellen spoke in a slightly quivering voice, it was because her interlocutor was a man who had the aura of a murderer.

Having crimson red hair, the almond-brown eyes are sharply narrowed, covered in light armor and carrying a large sword in his hand.

The man gave off an aura that seemed to say 'not to be touched'. Suppressing her own fear, Ellen spoke to the man while vigilantly protecting Sena behind him.

"… Who are you? "

"Hmm? Ahh, I don't have a name .. But people will usually call me crimson or 'crazy', after all you're free to call me what I look like"

The nameless man in front of her spoke casually while Ellen desperately searched for an opening to attack the man in front of her.

As one chosen to serve Sena personally, Ellen must meet various qualifications and prove herself worthy.

She was endowed with a beautiful appearance, a beautiful body, high fighting and magic abilities, and a natural talent in 'serving'.

That was why Ellen was chosen to serve Sena, even if she had to sacrifice her body to become a meat shield, then she would do so willingly if it was for the sake of protecting her only master.

Ellen focusedly looked for an opening to attack while Sena hid behind her. Some of the escorting soldiers had already taken down some of the attackers, but they were still suppressed with not a small number of enemies.

Some of the bodyguards were dead, but others instantly replaced the fallen ones to fight. It showed their overwhelming loyalty to their ruler, Margrave Suiren.

A moment later, the nameless man attacked Ellen first by running while dragging a sword that was even bigger than her body.

Somehow Ellen could still withstand that with the strengthening of her body, she would definitely become minced meat if she was hit by the attack.

"… You, are you really a servant woman? "

"Not more than that"

"You're better suited to being a pamphleteer"

"Thank you for the compliment, many say so .. Rather than that, who sent you? "

"… Do you think I'll tell you? Wellh, that old pig didn't order us to keep quiet, but .. Let's have fun first! "

Saying that, the nameless man directly jumped at Ellen and swung his sword vertically.

Relying on his physical strength and gravitational pull, the swing of his sword would naturally possess great destructive power.

Ellen relied on her reflex speed to dodge while carrying Sena.

"… Miss, put up a barrier now"

Ellen could not fight freely because she had to protect Sena, so Ellen asked her to use magic to create a barrier, Sena naturally understood that, so she just obeyed her.

"《Light barrier》"

Forming a magic circle on the ground, Sena cast a spell and instantly, a dome of light appeared to cover her.

"… Okay, let's get this over with"

Ensuring that Sena is safe, Sena immediately takes a position with both daggers.

Some of the soldiers who became bodyguards had already joined him to help, they were outnumbered, but they excelled in strength and experience.

Only a group of bandits or mercenaries would not be able to match them.

"… Tch"

Realizing his position, the nameless man involuntarily clicked his tongue and sighed in annoyance.

"The old man didn't pay us enough for this"

He muttered in a small voice until he could not be heard by anyone, but before he attacked…

"…! What the fuck?! "

Some wolves came to attack him. The group of wolves appeared out of nowhere and bit him all over the body.

Even though he used body reinforcement, the sharp wolf fangs actually tore through his flesh as easily as tearing paper.

(Wolf? Why are they here?)

Ellen's confusion was natural, it was because their current place was not the place it should be for wolves.

"Miss! "

A bodyguard brought her back to reality, Ellen returned her consciousness and turned to the bodyguard.

Just by her gaze, Ellen already understood what she was hinting at. Looking at the nameless man who was ripped apart by that group of wolves without being able to resist.

Lowering her center of gravity, Ellen leaped forward at high speed and swung her dagger. A few bodyguards also followed him swinging their swords at the man.

"Damn! "

Before she could continue her protest, Ellen's dagger reached her neck and beheaded her easily.

Blood came out like a fountain from that slash scar.

After that, the wolf that helped them earlier vanished into the air as if they had never existed...

They managed to survive thanks to a group of wolves that appeared out of nowhere to save them.

"… Miss"

"Yes, do we have to write about the help of wolves into the report later? "

Even though they wrote that, no one would believe it…

Ellen took the lead to continue the journey after repairing the carriage slightly. No one was aware of the presence of bats watching them from above the tree.

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

"Haaahhh .. Tiring day"

Noelle's grievance was heard throughout the room they occupied.

"Thank you for the hard work"

Olivia sat next to him while stroking Noelle's white hair.

Noelle and Olivia have changed their clothes into shirts and trousers, after which Noelle immediately jumped into the mattress.

"… Do you really like oversize clothes like that Olivia? "

Enjoying Olivia's tender hands, Noelle spoke to her in a curious tone. Olivia was currently only wearing a great white shirt for him. It was Noelle's shirt, she didn't wear any pants either.

"… It's convenient to make pajamas, besides .. Noelle aroma is very good"

Saying that with a red face, Olivia raised both her hands to cover her mouth.

His hands were covered by the sleeves of the shirt, so it greatly increased his cuteness, even though he only wore *********, it actually further enhanced the charm he had.

Smiling wryly at her lover, Noelle slowly lifted her body and sat on the edge of the mattress and faced the window.

It was already quite dark outside, it was because they had to take care of a lot of trouble after they kicked Lindsey out.

There were many protests to it, but Noelle only threatened them with force and the result, everything was finished peacefully.

"Noelle? "

Noticing Noelle who was staring at the sky without speaking, Olivia crawled up and leaned on Noelle.

"… Olivia"

"… Ms"

"It's the first day of the festival, right? "

"… yeah? "

"I got some information on the street earlier .. No, it's nothing .. You better know it yourself later"

"… You're making me curious"

Olivia woke up and looked at Noelle with hopeful eyes. But Noelle made a decision. So even though Olivia was looking at him with puppy-like eyes, it would not shake Noelle's decision.

"Wait a minute, it'll start"

Realizing that Noelle has no intention of telling her now, Olivia just accepts her decision and continues leaning on Noelle's shoulder, but…

"… Should be any minute …"

Noelle muttered to herself, then she lifted Olivia up and placed her on her lap. As she lifted up, Olivia let out a cute scream 'Hya! '. Hearing that, Noelle unintentionally smiled at him.

Physically, Noelle was taller than Olivia, their height difference was about 20 cm. So when she sat Olivia on her lap, Noelle could still put her chin on Olivia's head.

"Noelle? "

"Wait a minute"

Noelle only replied to her like that, but Noelle hugged Olivia from behind.

Olivia did not rebel, she instead enjoyed Noelle's embrace and felt the warmth that her body emitted.

For some reason, Noelle did not turn on the magic light that was supposed to illuminate their room, it made Olivia confused.

But Olivia knew that Noelle was up to something, so she just said, Then…

"It started yes"

Noelle opened her eyes and looked up at the sky. There was one light that shot into the sky, but it exploded and turned into a colored spark.

"… Fireworks? "

The light that illuminated the night sky was fireworks. It had a diverse color and was as beautiful as the fireworks on earth.

"They'll light it every night until the festival's over"

"… So …"

On earth, Olivia loved the light show so much, so she saw the fireworks with eyes sparkling like children.

"… Olivia"

"Mn? "

Feeling Noelle's embrace getting stronger, Olivia turned her head back to look at her, but Noelle had a smiling face. It was not her usual smile, it looked brighter than before to the point that it made Olivia turn her face red.

"… Olivia, I want to give you something"

"…… What? "

"It"

"…! this is?! "

Olivia answered him in a soft voice, but Noelle did not care and continued. He opened his right hand and showed me a pair of rings.

When she saw the ring, Olivia immediately widened her eyes which were usually only half open. His eyes sparkled for different reasons, he was still a bit in shock from getting the reward all of a sudden, so he did not smile.

"… Is this what I think it is? "

"Right, as you saw for yourself Olivia .. I proposed to you"

Olivia did not reply, but her lips curved into a bright smile, her face full of surprise and turned into happiness.

"It may not be official, but at least we can get engaged first"

"…"

"I may not be an expert at forming romantic words, because I'm really stupid at it, but at least I can tell you"

"…"

Olivia did not reply, she only nodded small, her eyes became wet with tears of happiness that almost flowed out, her lips quivering and her face flushed red.

"… Olivia, do you want to be my partner? Will you allow me to be your companion until the end of your life? "

"……… nnn"

After a long pause, Olivia finally let out a small voice and nodded strongly at Noelle.

Olivia sat on the lap with her back to Noelle, but Noelle could clearly see that there were tears streaming down her face.

Olivia moved her left hand forward and Noelle held it straight away, putting the ring on her ring finger.

The ring was just an ordinary ring with no decorations or special effects. Only a silver ring with 1 blue gem on it and a simple floral motif adorned the inside.

After putting the ring on Olivia's finger, Olivia looked at her own finger and her face bloomed with a happy smile. He did not stop staring at the ring with moist eyes until he finally remembered.

"… Noelle .. Your finger .. Let me pair it"

"That's what I want Olivia"

Saying that, Noelle shows her left hand and gives Olivia another ring.

Olivia paired the ring gently as if she was holding something precious and could break at any moment.

After she put it together, Olivia did not let go of Noelle's hand but rather weaved her own and tightly, their hands held on as if they would not let go of each other's existence.

Noelle tightened her embrace on Olivia and said to her.

"I may be a foolish and inconsiderate man, do you still want to be with me? "

"… Noelle wasn't like that, Noelle was watching me all the time"

"Is that so? "

"Yes"

Olivia answered strongly. Her obsidian eyes stared firmly at Noelle's hand that was holding her.

"So yeah .. Then, do you still want to be with me even though I've changed? And if I'm—"

Before she finished speaking, Olivia pulled her hand, turned around and covered Noelle's lips with her delicate finger.

Staring at Noelle's eyes with moist eyes, Olivia spoke to him with strong words.

"Noelle, my only place is with you, I'm not if I'm not with you, haven't I told you? Noelle is the only one for me, I'll never let you go, because that's .. You don't let me go either"

"… Okay, I won't let you go"

Saying that, Noelle strengthened her embrace and made Olivia's face turn red. They only wear thin shirts to sleep, and Olivia does not wear any underwear other than**********, and because they are currently facing each other, Olivia said, they could clearly feel the sensation of tenderness and warmth of their respective bodies.

"… Other than that …"

Olivia tried to shift the conversation, she looked into Noelle's eyes and continued her words.

"I like Noelle like anything, even if you change, I will still love you, and if you turn into a bad person, then, I won't hesitate to stop you even if I have to sacrifice myself"

"… If that's the case, I'll try not to change .. I don't want Olivia to get hurt because of me"

Getting an unexpected answer from Noelle, Olivia widened her eyes and narrowed them again with happiness. Her face vividly described her emotions, her pink lips smiling sweetly at Noelle.

"Fufu~ In that case, do not change to the negative side yes"

Olivia answered him in a seductive voice. Her voice filled with emotions of happiness clearly entered Noelle's ears.

"certain"

With the sky full of fireworks in the background, Noelle and Olivia bring each other's faces closer and.

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

At midnight, after making sure the naked, sweaty Olivia was completely asleep beside her, Noelle looked into the empty air in the corner of the room.

His previously gray eyes slowly turned red, he spoke in a low but clear voice.

"… You can get out now, miss intruder"

After which, in the corner of the room he was looking at, appeared a black circle that revolved and slowly displayed a human figure within it.

The human figure had golden blonde hair cut to the shoulders, using a sleeveless shirt and a black skirt.

He also had black wings growing on his back.

The circle that had been covering his body, slowly shrank and floated right above his head.

"I didn't think you were an angel, Charlotte"

Her guest today is a girl they met at the tournament today, Charlotte.
