[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 52: The Name

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

"Maybe here is enough … "

Noelle looked around and made sure there was no one but the four of them.

Charlotte and Chloe tilted their heads, wondering what she meant.

Seeing that, Noelle just sighed tiredly and then explained.

"You already know that we're going to fly, right? "

" "Nn" ", Charlotte and Chloe nodded their heads.

"Because flying magic is not yet widely known and the only way to travel with the flight method is to ride a dragon or gryphon, it would be a problem if many people saw us"

"I understand ... ", Charlotte seriously nodded her head.

"Then, I'll hold Olivia, and Charl will hold Chloe ... Just to make sure, you can use your wings right? "

"Eh? Ahh ya .. Although I am not used to it yet, I can at least fly using these wings … "

Charlotte said and took out her wings which she had been hiding all along.

A large pair of pitch-black wings grew on his back and flew some loose feathers.

Not forgetting the circle of the pitch-black 'hello' angel started to appear above his head now.

The pitch-black angel wings and circles reminded Noelle of the starless night sky, which contrasted sharply with her golden-blond hair and blue eyes like the clear sky.

Even so, those two terrifying-looking attributes greatly complemented Charlotte's beauty and made her emit an aura of grandeur that strangely made her unable to be touched by anyone.

Although the fallen angel was always synonymous with something evil and sinful, Noelle would inevitably acknowledge Charlotte's beauty who would even make the upper-class models of the earth run while crying with shame.

"No matter how many times I see it, it's really awesome … "

"Mrs"

Noelle and Olivia nodded their heads in awe at the sight of Charlotte's appearance. Chloe said nothing and just looked at him dumbfoundedly and with sparkling eyes.

"To-please stop looking at me .. ", Charlotte said as she covered her flushed face with her wings.

"Why? You look awesome with that performance", Noelle said in a teasing tone to Charlotte.

It was rare for her to see Charlotte who was in such a state of embarrassment, so Noelle was unwilling to waste the opportunity to tease her.

"Uuu .. ", Charlotte was naturally unable to withstand all of Noelle's praise and was on the verge of crying with a face that had been completely flushed.

"Noelle"

"Haha, alright alright~", Noelle stopped her teasing of Charlotte after being reprimanded by Olivia.

No matter what world she was in, it seemed that women were indeed destined to dominate.

Charlotte finally returned to her usual self after calming down for a while.

"Well, as I said earlier .. I'll take Olivia and Charl will take Chloe"

Charlotte and Chloe clamp down and easily accept Noelle's plan.

Noelle can fly with her magic, as well as Olivia, and Charlotte is a winged race so she can fly freely.

But Chloe there once had no magic or skill that would allow her to fly.

When Noelle asked if she had any abilities that could make her fly or walk in the air, Chloe simply shook her head and replied no.

But Chloe can still create a foothold in the air with her special ability to control shadows. Sounds easy and simple, but according to Chloe, making a foothold in the air using shadows is difficult because of the limited distance.

The further away it is from the ground, the thinner the shadow it has. Chloe could have used the shadows of clouds or trees instead, but her ability to control shadows was limited to her own.

Perhaps he could do that if his abilities had already developed, but for now, it was all still impossible.

Chloe disappointedly thought of developing her abilities as quickly as possible so that she would not become a burden on her team as she walked towards Charlotte.

"And just in case .. Get out"

Noelle waved her hand in the empty air, after a while a wolf appeared over 2 meters in size before her.

"I'm going to ask this little guy to watch the land as we fly"

Charlotte and Chloe wondered what she meant, but they understood immediately after Noelle explained.

According to Noelle, it wouldn't matter if they were to fly straight away without thinking of anything, but it would be best if one were to watch over the ground just in case.

Because they don't know what they're going through. Moreover, Noelle did not know for sure where exactly the location of the conquest of the remains of the monsters that escaped from the stampede.

Noelle explained as she stroked the wolf fur that was in front of her.

The wolf was not at all disturbed, instead he seemed to enjoy the caress of Noelle's loving hand.

Putting aside her out-of-normal size for a wolf, the wolf in front of Noelle was currently seen to have a book so soft that even Charlotte almost lowered her guard just by looking at it.

"Very cute … "

Chloe's eyes sparkled excitedly as she looked at the wolf. He quickly ran over and stroked the wolf fur with his hands.

" ……… "

Chloe's fingers gently and very carefully moved to comb the wolf's fur. Instead of being bothered by Chloe's sudden movements, the wolf looked comfortable and snored as he closed his eyes.

" ……… Isn't he too tame? "

Charlotte commented as she looked at Chloe who was endlessly petting the wolf while smiling brightly.

"That's how, after all, this wolf is my familiar, it's clear he'll be very docile" Noelle said proudly.

Olivia beside him with warm eyes kept staring at the sight of a beautiful girl like a doll who was taking care of a big wolf.

"Rather than that ... Have you not given him a name yet? Doesn't he look like a pet? ", Charlotte added as she looked back and forth at Noelle and the wolf.

Noelle seemed to think about that for a moment, yet she replied after sighing tiredly for a moment.

"Name huh .. Not that I don't want to, but .. I'm having trouble determining a name that suits him, because he'll share a name with his subordinates, I don't want to give a name with half-and-half"

" …? ", Charlotte just tilted her head in confusion as she looked at Noelle.

Seeing that, Noelle let out a tired sigh.

"I'll explain it later, for now we should leave immediately" Noelle said as she held Olivia in a princess's arms.

Olivia who was suddenly carried like that instantly had a flushed face and she took her eyes off Noelle's face because she was too embarrassed to do so.

(Why do you turn your face away while you even kiss me in front of them often .. ), Noelle thought in her heart.

As if unaware of what Noelle was thinking, Olivia looked agitated and finally wrapped her neck with both hands.

He also dared to look at Noelle.

"What ... Am I heavy? ", Olivia's soft voice felt like it was full of worry as she asked Noelle.

"That's how, heavier than usual .. You might have to cut down on your afternoon snack time later"

" " " ……… " " "

Neither Olivia, Charlotte, nor Chloe were able to speak after hearing Noelle's comments.

Noelle looked back at them and asked 'What? '

"Noelle .. Even if it's you .. You're too brave to say that to a woman"

"Master .. You're bad"

Charlotte dumbfoundedly spoke to Noelle while looking at her with a condescending look, even Chloe who was usually very respectful towards Noelle looked coldly at Noelle as she walked towards Charlotte.

(But I'm right .. I'm pretty sure that I remember all of Olivia's sizes, so I'm sure that she's gaining weight right now, even though her body shape has barely changed .. )

Noelle thought in her heart as she looked at Olivia who currently had eyes with a blank look.

Then her eyes turned to a certain part of Olivia's body.

(... Will all the fat he has go straight to his chest and buttocks? )

Noelle thought so, yet she immediately shook her head to remove that thought from her head.

"Well, I was just kidding .. Please stop sulking" Noelle said with a wry smile.

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

"Nn, Noelle .. Now can you explain the name of the wolf? ", Charlotte's voice that sounded like a shout finally appeared in Noelle's ears.

Charlotte's voice did not sound so clear as it was muffled by the extremely strong gusts of wind in the air.

They were currently flying in the air at a speed high enough that it could overtake the speed of the helicopter.

"It seems you're quite curious about that" Noelle replied to Charlotte.

"That's how it is" Charlotte replied with a slight shout.

Despite flying at a fairly high speed, the four of them seemed to have no problem with the air pressure that was hitting their faces.

Charlotte and Chloe are a little troubled at first, but Olivia helps them by creating a wind barrier that helps the air around them stay awake.

Both Charlotte and Chloe were truly grateful for the favor as none of them had an affinity for the wind element.

Charlotte only had a match with the water and darkness elements so it was completely unsuitable for creating a barrier.

While Chloe, she can hardly use any magic .. But instead, Chloe has a very rare ability that is controlling shadows. Chloe could have used her ability to create a shadow shield from the shadows formed on her body as a result of being covered by Charlotte's body and wings.

However using a shadow shield would only block their view, so the idea was immediately rejected.

"Hmmm ... Alright .. Where should I explain it … "

Noelle thought for a moment.

Right now he was a bit hard to explain as he had to divide his mind to control himself so as not to fall, and he also had to divide his mind to monitor the land using his familiar wolf eyes.

Noelle explained that the wolf on the ground and was sharing a vision with him is currently a monster with a head type, which is why the monster has a giant size.

Charlotte immediately seemed confused by that.

Sighing for a moment, Noelle again explained while flying carefully so as not to hit a bird or anything.

Noelle said that ordinary animals could not be made into familiar creatures, Noelle herself did not understand the intent behind it all because she could hardly even distinguish between monsters and wild animals.

But Noelle did some experiments to answer that question

Most monsters also live in groups like animals, and of course there will be monsters who play the role of leader among them.

That lead-type monster would also have soul connections with its subordinates. Noelle herself did not understand how it all worked, but according to her, when a chief-type monster obtained an evolution, its evolution would also affect all subordinates who had soul connections with it.

And the evolution of monsters could be triggered by several things.

One way to trigger that evolution is to name the monsters.

When a chief-type monster was given a name by someone, it would absorb some amount of the name-giver's magic power, then the monsters would evolve by using the mana they absorbed as fuel for their evolution.

And the other method was to let the chief-type monsters sit idly by in a place filled with mana. This way would make the monsters absorb all the mana in that place and gradually adjust themselves in order to live.

The advantage of the second way is that monsters will reach a higher level of evolution based on which density the monster lives in.

It was also no different from the evolutionary process when it was given a name. Depending on how much capacity or magic power the giver has, it will affect the evolution of the monster.

However, since most monsters had senses that were extremely sensitive to everything related to 'magic', the monsters would naturally avoid a place packed with mana so the second way became quite difficult to practice.

That was also true for all the familiar monsters Noelle.

The lead-type monster that Noelle became familiar with also had soul connections with all of his subordinates, which was why when the wolf-type monster was given a name and evolved, all of his subordinates would be affected as well.

"So that's the reason .." Charlotte said while nodding understandingly.

Both Charlotte and Chloe focused on listening to Noelle's explanations without seeming distracted in the least.

Charlotte was occasionally seen flapping her wings as if she was defending herself in midair. Although in reality, Charlotte did not need to flap her wings at all. Charlotte did that only because of her habits and outlook that only understood about 'wings have to be flapped to function'.

Surely it makes sense .. If he only uses what he knows from the earth.

"And by the way, my familiar monster is quite different from most familiar"

" " ?? " ", Charlotte and Chloe tilted their heads in question at Noelle.

Noelle, however she just smiled a little.

"Familiar monsters are mostly tamed monsters and trained by the tamer, whereas my familiars are monsters that are created directly with my own power so that they have a direct connection with my soul"

'Yahh, even though I created them with the 《Familiar Creation》 skill anyway', Noelle added.

"You mean .. Ahh"

Noelle smiled at Charlotte who seemed to have made a conclusion.

With a bright smile like a detective who had fun while solving a case, Noelle spoke again.

"They have a direct connection with my soul, meaning .. No matter how many times they die, I can still resurrect them as long as the connection is unbroken"

(And they will also be directly affected by my evolution)

"So … "

Charlotte simply nodded attentively as if she was completely unaware of what Noelle was currently thinking.

"That's how it is, and that's why I don't want to carelessly give her a name .. Ahh, I see the city"

"Where? ", Charlotte was watching her surroundings, yet still saw nothing.

"It's still a bit far away, maybe about 8 or 10 kilometers away" Noelle said, narrowing her eyes.

" … Isn't that still a long way off? How can you see it? "

Charlotte asked curiously.

"Just use body strengthening magic, just try to focus the magic on your eyes"

Charlotte looks confused for a moment, but she soon sees a giant stone wall surrounding a city after doing what Noelle suggested.

" ……… I saw it, but it's still pretty vague … "

"Well, you just need to train it so you can see it clearly"

" ……… "

Charlotte didn't know what to say, but she was really grateful to Noelle who had taught her so much in just this short trip.

"But .. We got here sooner than I thought"

The words that came out of Noelle's mouth only flew in the wind and never reached Charlotte's ears.

Except for Olivia who was now just staring at him question mark.

Noelle who saw Olivia like that just smiled.

"All right, we're down now"

" … ? … Okay"

Despite the confusion for a moment, Charlotte obeyed Noelle and slowed her movements, then slowly descended to the mainland.

Beneath them was a group of wolves that became familiar Noelle was waiting for them.

"And ... Yup, from here on we will continue walking"

(We got there faster than I expected. Yahh, I don't even know what speed we were flying at), Noelle thought in her heart as she watched the surroundings warily.

Noelle takes Olivia down from her sling, and Charlotte also releases her grip on Chloe and the black angel's once striking wings and circles instantly disappear into a bead of light.

"It looks like you can control that pretty well" Noelle said in a dumbfounded tone after seeing what Charlotte did.

"Of course .. I naturally know how to use it and being able to control it is as easy as moving a hand"

"So .. Maybe it was the influence of the race change? Olivia and I also naturally know how to use all the skills that are characteristic of vampires"

While Noelle and Charlotte were chatting lightly, Olivia was watching her surroundings warily.

Olivia maximizes the use of presence detection and mana detection to find out if there are other people around them at the moment.

Fortunately, there was no one within a radius of 1 kilometer around so their landing was not a flashy thing.

Not to forget Chloe who passionately stroked the head of the familiar wolf leader Noelle.

As Chloe cheerfully stroked the wolf's head, she called out to Noelle without stopping the movement of her hand.

"Hey, sir"

"Hmm? Whahuh? "

"Can I give this boy a name? ", Chloe asked without stopping her hand.

The wolf before her seemed to flinch for a moment as if it understood what Chloe had just said, but she again put on a comfortable face and continued to enjoy the gentle caress of Chloe.

With a snoring that sounds cute of course.

"You want to give him a name? "

"Mrs! ", Chloe nodded excitedly.

Noelle pondered for a while, she was considering whether it was okay for the familiar monster she created to be named by someone else.

"All right, no problem"

"really?! "

After thinking for a while, Noelle allowed Chloe to give the wolf a name.

"I'm serious, have you prepared his name? "

"Nnnn .. I've got it now! "

"Alright alright~ you can name it now"

After getting permission from Noelle, Chloe cheerfully walked over while jumping up and down.

Noelle only smiled when she saw that.

The reason Noelle could easily allow Chloe to name her familiar was certainly not without reason. Quite the contrary, Noelle had taken into account all the risks and benefits she would get if Chloe gave the name to the familiar she created.

All the risks in the act had been calculated well enough that Noelle came to the conclusion that she would not get any problems from the name given by Chloe.

There would usually be the risk of a familiar rebellion after being named by someone else, but Noelle had no problem with it because neither all of her familiar creations nor Chloe were already under her control.

Noelle herself almost forgot about the fact that Chloe had been turned into a vampire after drinking her blood for healing purposes.

Because Chloe has become a vampire under her power, Noelle now has a direct connection to Chloe's soul.

So if the familiar monster Noelle named by Chloe starts to rebel, Noelle will still have complete control of them thanks to her connection to Chloe.

And the advantage he got was—

(Yahh, after all this would be a fun experiment), Noelle thought in her heart while continuing to maintain a gentle smile, it was the complete opposite of her current thoughts.

"Alright, your name is ... 【Brackas】 ... How about that? Do you like it? "

"Woof~"

The wolf immediately barked excitedly while wagging its tail.

"It looks like she's happy with the name" Noelle said as she slowly walked over and placed her hand on Brackas' head.

Brackas comfortably closed his eyes and continued barking like a dog that had just bought a toy.

Behind him were some of his subordinates who clearly looked pleased with it as they were also making the same moves as Brackas.

"Well, from now on your name is 【Brackas】, and because Chloe gave you the name ... You will be 【Brackas Vanpille】"

The wolves were happy with it, yet at the same time

Noelle felt that her magic power had been absorbed in such a large amount that she was dripping with sweat as a sign of exhaustion.

Chloe had fainted behind him.

" … It seems .. We must delay our arrival to that city today" Noelle said with a tired sigh.

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

*Brackas here is fully read using vowels (A), and not with English pronunciation that would be [Breckas] or something.

(AN: Yoo~ I finally get to write again after a long time of writing block~ Ahh, I've had enough of a delinquent chapter … So maybe I should be patient even longer so that I can write the core parts and the big conflicts that are coming up, I have to be patient and keep writing my stories so I can get to the stage I want to be at most! All right, that's it! Bye bye! )
