[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 30: The useless goddess and the unknown history

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

『Yahoo~ it's me! The prettiest goddess you love, Anastasia here~ ☆ ♪ !!』

As the excited voice echoed through the room, Noelle and Charlotte who were chatting in shock jumped up, Olivia also woke up from her sleep because of the sound.

『Hei hei~ What happened? Why are you all so surprised? Are you guys so happy that I showed up? Yes, it is inevitable if you are captivated by me! Nyufufu, however, I am a goddess with transcendental beauty!!! No wonder you guys are so stunned that you can only gawk! Anyway my voice is also full of beauty~ nyahaha!』

"… Charl, did you hear anything? "

"… no"

"What about you Olivia? "

"… I .. Just woke up, I didn't .. Hear anything"

"… It seems so, maybe the sound is just my imagination .. Yes it is. I hope"

Noelle asked Charlotte and Olivia who were awake, but they beautifully ignored the annoying voice.

『Why are you guys so rude to me?! I brought you into this world?! At least give a reaction to my appearance!』

"… Noisy, go back to the grave"

『Finally you responded to me— No! That's not what I meant! I'm not dead! 』

"Tch, so what do you want? "

An irritated Noelle finally clicked her tongue and asked Anastasia who was speaking from afar.

『Why are you so rude to me even though I'm a goddess .. Ah never mind, I'm talking now because I almost never get a part in the story you know?! I only ever appeared in prologue once! I want to show up more! Thank you to me for bothering to come to a useless creature like you nyahaha~』

Noelle's forehead twitched, she started to get irritated at Anastasia and wished she was dead right now.

"So, what's your purpose in calling us like this? "

『I was ignored?! Yahh .. As I said before, I will explain all the questions that are in your head』

"Ohh really? Incidentally, there's a lot I really want to ask you"

『E-err just to make sure .. How many questions you』

"It's so much that I'm lazy to count it"

『It's too much! Ahem, alright .. Since I am a kind goddess, I will spare my precious time for you guys』

"Say you're lonely"

『Wha—』

Noelle and Anastasia's conversation went so naturally that Olivia and Charlotte were confused, but they just shrugged and listened to them.

Olivia slowly wears Noelle's shirt to cover her body, though … Then she very naturally sat on Noelle's lap and looked for a comfortable position.

Noelle did not refuse and instead hugged Olivia who was on her lap.

Their movements were so natural that Charlotte could only stare at them in surprise as seeing the behavior of the two of them was different from the one she remembered as Nitta.

『Ehem, fine ... What do you want to ask? 』

"Well ..Where should I start? … Then, as I asked you earlier, there are the names of other races in Charl's evolutionary selection, do you know about that? "

『Eh that one? Ahh yes, they do exist ... Half-Demon and Half-Spirit .. They do exist .. And because it's half, it's definitely full .. It's just ..』

"just only? "

Noelle asked him while tilting her head.

『Unn, they do exist .. But they exist in different realms』

"you mean? "

『Yahh, the spirit race has never been seen again because they completely hid themselves from the world, precisely, and the trigger is of course because of the slavery they experienced several hundred years ago. It was an incident several hundred years before the demon lord invasion, so I don't really know the details』

"So yeah .. I understand that they will hate humans and others if that's the reason ... Then what about demons? "

Noelle nodded with a serious face while noting Anastasia's explanation in the book she took out of nowhere.

『Err, if the demon race .. Of course they exist, but just like spirits, they exist in different realms.

"So the demon race didn't appear into this world because they didn't know our whereabouts huh ... But how could the demon lord find this place? "

『Like the title he has, the demon lord is a special individual who is even more powerful than any demon, he has the ability to break through the dimensional wall separating the two worlds .. Ahh, by the way … The demon race is just like humans, they are a race with a physical form and not a spirit. I explained this just in case』

"That's so …"

Noelle nodded once more and wrote down Anastasia's explanation in the book she was holding. And Olivia asked Anastasia instead.

"Then ... How about ... Vampires? "

『Err... In particular, vampires belong to the high-level demon faction that has absolute loyalty to the demon lord … But they have no interest whatsoever in anything other than themselves and their masters.

"So .. Noelle, take note"

"Have~ "

(Excellent compactness ... Are those two really Ayano and Izaya? And they are also very close ... Closer than ever ... )

Charlotte thought of that when she listened to Anastasia and noticed Noelle's actions with Olivia who could tell each other's intentions with just a look.

"Well, Anastasia .. Why is the vampire king's castle in this world while demons are supposed to exist in different realms? "

Finished noting, Noelle once again asked Anastasia a question.

『Yahh, it was because the vampire king was the commander of the demon king who was so loyal that he chose to wait for his resurrection in this world』

"Ah wait! I just heard something I can't ignore there! What do you mean resurrection? "

『... How could you not know that? You should have known it by evolution』

"… Ahh ya. .. I thought I heard a man's voice screaming while Olivia and I were in the process of evolution. .. But I ignored it because I was in pain myself at the time"

『Nn, exactly ... He waited for a body worthy of his resurrection .. That's because I've completely destroyed his features during the war against the demon lord … But I didn't know that he kept his soul with his blood in the reincarnation cup to await the resurrection』

"Ahh .. That's why she became so angry when she found out that Olivia and I had a blessing from you"

『Yup, and since he was only a soul, he was so weak that my blessing was enough to finish him off completely. By the way the goddamn vampire king only possessed you, not your girlfriend there』

"… So I was saved by you huh"

『Yes! Thanks me! If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead hahaha! And the Charlotte girls there should thank me too! Because otherwise, he would have entered in a permanent state of berserk and died at the hands of that damn man!』

" " No thanks " "

『Why?!』

Noelle and Charlotte answered in unison while Anastasia shouted spontaneously at them. Olivia .. Yahh, she almost fell asleep.

"There's no way we'd like to thank you"

"Yes, Noelle's right"

"Nn .. Agree"

『Uuu .. How low am I in your eyes .. What do you think I am? 』

Looking at each other for a moment, Noelle, Charlotte and Olivia finally answered in quick succession.

"A useless goddess who fires magic recklessly and kills humans from another world? "

"… Dumb Goddess ... Who will ... Do the opening .. Strange .... When greeting ... Others? "

『......

The answers of the three of them were very unexpected for Anastasia as she started whining like a child.

『I-it's all right, but that's not the answer I want! 』

Needless to say, Anastasia's cry echoed in the room for a few minutes.

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

Anastasia finally stopped crying, and Noelle had already asked her many questions.

Those questions were something that had long since disturbed Noelle's mind like, reincarnations have already reduced to 13 people in total.

Their number was originally 31 people if the driver and supervising teacher were also counted, and nearly three-quarters of them were already dead.

Most of them couldn't stand the lifestyle of this world and decided to commit suicide, and others died from other things like murders, accidents and others.

Noelle had also inquired about the whereabouts of Arata and the others to Anastasia.

Although she did not consider them as friends, Noelle still knew them so she could not just ignore them.

And the answer Anastasia gave was an answer that strangely made Noelle relieved.

Anastasia said that Arata, Tohka, and some others had been reincarnated into members of the noble family so they were satisfied with their lives.

"Damn it, their lives are very comfortable"

Noelle involuntarily let out words containing envy in them and made Charlotte startle while Olivia calmly chewed on the grilled meat that Noelle had bought earlier this afternoon.

Olivia really looks like a cute little animal.

"Well, there's a lot I want to ask so I'm confused where to start first …"

『What else? 』

"Unn, alright .. I've been curious about this but .. Do you know anything about the weapons we use? I felt that my two swords, Olivia's rapier and Charl's sword were related to each other"

『Hmm? Ahh your weapons yes ... It is made of 'star fragments'』

"It's the one I don't know .. Do you know anything? "

Noelle asked Anastasia, Olivia and Charlotte also listened quietly while Anastasia continued the explanation.

『Unn, I don't know the details too much because it was created before I was born, but .. Long before the demon king invasion happened, there was a race that was now extinct, When it happened a disaster that made their numbers become drastically reduced, their race was in threat of extinction』

"… I'll ask you the first one later, but .. What disaster is that? "

Noelle asked curiously while Olivia and Charlotte focused their ears.

『This is the same disaster that destroyed the ancient creatures of your world .. Meteor shower, what fell here was a meteor that was very large and contained a lot of unknown energy in it』

"………"

『Shortly, the meteor shower destroyed many places until it sunk a large continent that used to house dragonoids .. Back then there were only human races and dragonoids that had high intelligence and inhabited the planet, which was the only one that was known to be the most powerful, but because of the mysterious energy that the meteor emitted, many of them mutated and produced other races』

"………"

『Most people who radiated that energy will mutate into humanoid creatures that shouldn't exist .. I'll explain that part later because it has nothing to do with your question, the endangered dragonoid race decided to protect themselves by making weapons using those peteor shards as material』

"………"

『The start of that crazy idea was when they realized that the energy that the meteor emitted would never run out and have great power, humans cannot use magic whereas dragonoids can, but thanks to mutations, they so awaken the nucleus where they are supposed to fall asleep .. 』

"………"

『Well, as a superior race because it can master magic, and, the dragonoid race that had high self-esteem and virtue decided to protect humans with their strength and made powerful weapons to guard against extraterrestrial threats … They mastered ancient magic and worked desperately looking for a way to harness the energy from the meteor it』

"… I'm like I just found out the other side of the world …"

" "………" "

『After decades of research, the dragonoid race has finally found a way to create a weapon with the meteor, but it requires them to pay a lot of money … I'll call it star energy to ease the explanation .. And the result of that berserk condition is that they mutate into monsters without wits』

"………"

『With the results of that study, the dragonoids and the remaining humans worked together to create weapons and mask the negative effects of those energies, the weapons they created actually produced the unexpected again, the resulting weapon is random and has a pseudo-consciousness that makes it choose its own user』

"………"

Noelle and the others listened to the explanation in silence, they did not know what it was like, but they could imagine how to be forced in such a desperate state.

『The number of humans and dragonoids is already very few and endangered, making them desperate..The weapons they randomly created have varying abilities, however since the result was random and the weapon chose its own users, they could not freely make full use of the weapon, and the result was ..』

"……… Mass production .. yes …"

『Nn, star energy can not be utilized freely, so they need some kind of catalyst to utilize it... And the result is a weapon of star shards, more and more are mutating into monsters and other races』

"………"

『A good luck because they mutated into another race because they were still alive, but if they became monsters .. They would lose their minds and attack everything he saw』

"………"

『Then, one day .. Something that has been very wary of dragonoids and humans finally happened .. Attack from outer space』.

"space? "

『Nn, monsters that have great power spring up one by one from space, attacking humans, dragonoids, and other newly created races .. They attack indiscriminately』

Both Noelle, Olivia and Charlotte frowned when imagining the incident.

『Humans and dragonoids are once again forced to retreat to a corner .. And in a desperate state, all dragonoid races must make bitter choices to protect the newly created humans and races, they use all the star weapons they created to fight invaders from outer space, utilize their ability to transform into dragons, and use their superior magic abilities … All for the sake of protecting the weaker races from them and protecting their pride as dragon blood ... The hareil dragonoids won, however ..』

Noelle had a premonition for this one

『All attempts to repel the invaders forced them to sacrifice themselves, yet all the remaining decided to leave the planet and hunt down the invading monsters in outer space.Of course humans and other races refused them to leave, forcing them to stay with them … However, those dragonoids had an idealism where they had to protect the weak』

"………"

『So, they left the planet to hunt down the remaining invading monsters and bequeath all the star weapons on all races … Humans and all the newly created races back then were very much waiting for their arrival, yet the dragonoids never returned』

"Sacrifice …"

『The dragonoids are revered as heroes and all those star weapons are kept in memory of their merit』

"… So …"

『However, something happened and made star weapons spread all over the world』

"Eh? "

Neither Noelle, Olivia nor Charlotte expected that, they let out a surprised voice while widening their eyes.

『At first there were a lot of star weapons .. And since the weapon was made before I was created, there was little I knew about because the weapon was spread all over the world … All I know is about 17 gun』

"… Dan? What the hell is that? "

Swallowing her saliva, Noelle asked with great tension.

『... Alright, I'll tell you ..』
