[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 33: The Plan

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

After a few minutes of resting their minds, Noelle, Olivia and Charlotte again ask Anastasia to explain, but …

『Ah! Just as a suggestion .. You better increase your strength from now on』

"Why? "

『To keep watch in the future later .. You will not know what will happen in the future .. And the three of you are also too confident in your strength』

No, Noelle was almost certain that Anastasia knew something about it, but it seemed that Anastasia did not want to discuss it and chose to divert the conversation.

Noelle and Olivia also understand that because they always keep their distance and keep many secrets from others in their previous lives, so they do not pry more deeply about what Anastasia meant.

But still, there is something that has always made it marketing all this time.

"Well, that's what I want to ask .. Anastasia, why all humans ... No, all the creatures in this world are strangely so weak ... Do you know anything about that? "

『Uhhh .. I am well aware of that .. Maybe part of the reason is this system I built ..』

"Ahh, yes .. I remember. There is something like a level limit to determine the work of others .. Isn't it just an act that weakens themselves? Why do they do it? "

Noelle wondered while Charlotte looked at him with bewildered eyes and asked him from the side.

"Do you think they are weak? I think they're pretty average"

"really? Or maybe we are too confident in our abilities? After all, we haven't even met any human in the past 7 years"

Noelle continued to speak with a tone of confusion in her voice, Charlotte was intending to answer him, but Anastasia had already spoken first to overtake him.

『No, as you say Noelle .. People in this world are very weak .. That's because they actually weaken themselves using a system that should strengthen them』

"So ... But, if it is so .. Then this mass weakening must have a mastermind behind it, right? And the mastermind must be …"

『Yep, this 'doer' made use of the system I created to weaken the creatures of the world with the frills of the requirements of the gods to get a job that harnesses the power of』

"That's a pretty good plan .. After all, this is a very ancient world .. Too old-fashioned that they don't understand how to utilize something that should help them … Does no one act otherwise? Do all people in this world have the same thoughts? "

This time, Noelle's voice sounded serious.

『Nahh, that's it. .. They're new to the concept of level when this system was created to support the world, and they can't just act otherwise to counter people's thinking about the system』

"… Of course it would be like that, after all .. All these restrictions are already part of their common sense.. To break through those limits you must think beyond common sense, and since we are reincarnations from another world, the common sense of this world has no effect on us … But seeing the reaction of Charl who was also a reincarnation somehow made me doubt my own theory"

『Yep! Damn right! I also really want to beat up someone who is behind all this!』

Anastasia spoke again excitedly, Charlotte only noticed their chatter with shocked eyes.

After all, she was born into a noble-ranking family, she had already obtained an education from a private tutor hired by her family, Moreover, Charlotte barely had any fighting ability, she had no fighting ability, he had a high affinity for magic, but not for sword arts, spears or anything else.

He just swung his 'Centipede' randomly towards the enemy.

So it was natural for him to think that the human abilities in this world were quite average.

"Well, let's put aside for a moment the topic of the limiter ... What do you mean by gathering power earlier? "

『? … As I said, ka—』

"That's not what I mean"

『Eh?』

"What I mean is, what power do you mean that .. Strength is such a broad word you know? Examples are combat power, finance, politics, connections .. Those are all examples of power ... What should we do? In this case I want a more specific explanation"

『Eh? A-ah yes .. As you said .. Then just collect everything!』

"…… Seriously? "

Noelle let out a puzzled voice while Charlotte's brows twitched, Olivia.

It seems like Olivia left all those problems to Noelle and chose to enjoy herself, after all Noelle was much more skilled at this.

『Hm? Sure was! I am a god who is always serious!』

"………"

Noelle did not argue as she did before, she instead lowered her head and placed her chin on her right arm while thinking of something.

It seemed that she had already found a plan because Noelle had raised her face again.

"Alright .. I don't think it's going to be too difficult"

"… Eh? "

『As expected of Noelle! You can take care of it!』

While Charlotte let out a foolish voice, Anastasia cheered for Noelle. Charlotte was confused as to how Noelle could take that for granted, however, it was extremely difficult for her to gather such strength.

"For combat power .. We will train ourselves again .. Olivia is already so dependent on magic that she gets bad in the sword, so I will train her again … Charl is also pretty bad at fighting skills, but out of the amount of magic power you have, you should have a pretty high affinity for magic like Olivia"

"Mm .. Using the sword .. Troubles"

"Agree .. But why did you bring my name too? "

"Ohh come on, I know you have a very high affinity with ice magic, Olivia .. But you're too dependent on it that your melee abilities become blunt … And Charl was already part of this group, there were no exceptions"

Olivia let out an unhappy expression with the concept of 'practicing the sword', Charlotte also agreed with him, and Noelle again denied them and made a statement to implicate Charlotte without asking her first.

"Using magic is convenient .. Noelle's fighting style is also strange"

"uhhh .. A-I know that! But how else! Vain gave me those two swords so I had to massively change my fighting style! It's not my desire to use two swords at once okay?! Moreover, I want to utilize the abilities of those two swords simultaneously! "

Noelle frantically began to explain, it seemed that she still remembered the mental piercing sensation she felt this morning. Meanwhile, Anastasia with a hesitant voice began to speak.

『U-unnn .. Anoo Noelle .. From what I heard just now ... Have you still not used your 《Sword Manipulation》 skill?』

"Hmm? I wanted to, but I doubt it"

『Why?』

"The explanation is too horrible"

『........ Eh?』

It was completely unexpected for Anastasia, after all, Anastasia was the one who wrote down the explanation, she did not understand which terrible part of the explanation.

"I mean this"

Noelle speaks and opens her status screen and opens the explanation of the 《Sword Manipulation》 section

※《Sword Manipulation》

→Skill this can make you manipulate swords.

" " "……………" " "

Noelle, Olivia and even Charlotte were silent a thousand languages after seeing the explanation while the perpetrator, Anastasia wondered which part was terrible.

『What's wrong』

"… Your explanation ... Isn't it too bad to explain something?! Make the explanation easier to understand! "

『Not ... I mean .. That explanation is correct, it is an ability that allows you to manipulate everything in the form of a sword... You can even unite your two swords using that skill』

"Huh? "

『Hah?』

Noelle and Anastasia both made dumb voices in quick succession, feeling that the conversation would never continue if it continued like this, Noelle decided to check the ability in person, and…

"Whoa! T-this really worked! "

Noelle tried that ability on the two swords before her, and it worked.

The two swords shone until finally the rays fused together and formed a single form. It was a combination between the two swords he used to use.

It has a blade that is several centi longer, and has a color blend of black and white.

『What the skill does is simply combine the two, not reshape .. It is a bit difficult to explain. But what the skill does is not as great as the dragonoids did in creating them … But if what you combine is an ordinary sword, you can freely manipulate them』

"So …"

『And this ability should also be used when you are stationary or not moving because you have to concentrate your magic power to form it』

"So ... Then …"

Noelle muttered and touched her hand to the sword. Using the sword manipulation skill once again and…

"This-this really works"

The long sword began to shrink to a size that could be grasped by an adult's hand.

『What do you want to do with it?』

Anastasia wondered while Charlotte was looking at her in confusion from the side, Olivia already knew what Noelle was thinking, so she remained silent.

"If I can shape it into such an accessory, I can carry this sword anywhere as a necklace or bracelet ornament by pairing chains, it would be annoying if many parties were after me. After all ... I would need this camouflage ability for my plan to gather strength"

"Ahh, you mean gathering financial power and the others that? "

"Yep"

Noelle nodded lightly at Charlotte's question.

"I already have a lot of plans to get it all, in order to raise the finances, I just need to do business with the trade guild … I had also thought of any plan that would give me a long-term big advantage, if it failed, I could supplement my finances by gambling at the nearest bar or casino … Anyway I'm quite an expert with that .. And for political power .. I still can't have that because in reality I'm just an ordinary person with no status, Charl also faked his death, he said, so she can't appear as Zernroden's daughter anymore"

"……………"

Charlotte was speechless, she could not say anything in front of Noelle who was already thinking about what she should do in the future.

Thinking that in her head, Charlotte calmly listened to all of Noelle's intentions in gathering that 'power.

"And for the connection part .. I thought I could take advantage of Lindsey's pig condition .. He paid the mercenary group [Red Eagle] to kill Margrave's daughter .. Sena sera .. Fuck, fuck her, he had a difficult name .. I would take advantage of that condition by stealing their proof of contract and exchanging it for a fake .. More precisely, I've done it anyway"

" "Eh? " "

『………』

Neither Olivia nor Charlotte knew of this, Anastasia could only fall silent as well. After all, ever since they met Lindsey this afternoon, Noelle had already created a familiar to follow her and seek information from her.

And coincidentally, Noelle found evidence of contracts and evidence of illegal transactions with the mercenary group [Red Eagle] and other underground groups.

While Lindsey was still roaming the city, Noelle spent time extorting every bit of her magic power to make all those fake contract papers.

Apparently the contract was made with magic making it difficult to replicate, but Noelle forcefully broke through her defenses and replaced the secrecy defense magic given to the paper.

At the same time, he placed dozens of his wolf familiars outside the city to prepare against the group hired by Lindsey.

The plan works, and Noelle manages to save Margrave's daughter. With that, the bodyguards and servants who were then with the princess would definitely report the attack and help from the wolf to the head of the Margrave Suiren family.

Now that he already had all the pawns in their respective positions, the rest was just execution.

Noelle will meet Margrave Suiren and discuss the assault on her daughter when all the nobles are in the mansion for the closing party.

All the nobles present as guests will definitely come to the closing party, which means that the Lindsey family will definitely come as well.

It was a good time to corner him.

He does all that for Olivia with no intention of saving anyone, he just wants to take down and destroy Lindsey's family life. He wanted to knock them all the way to the bottom so they felt desperate.

Until that happens, Noelle will never stop targeting them.

When she explained this to Olivia and Charlotte in the room, they could only fall silent after hearing Noelle's plan.

Even Olivia herself did not expect that Noelle would go that far for her. Naturally, it brought great happiness to her little heart, even though she already knew about Noelle's feelings for her, she still couldn't stop feeling happy for every action she took.

With moist eyes and a bright smile, Olivia who had a hue on her cheek immediately turned around and quickly stole Noelle's lips with her own.
