[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 58: Unexpected reunion (1)

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

"Ahh yes .. Cryll, can you take me to the guild now? I have to make a report."

After passing the inspection at the gate, Noelle suddenly asked Cryll to queue up to the guild.

"uh? I don't mind, but ... What about them? " cryll said as he pointed at Olivia's entourage in the limelight.

" … It looks like it will be a problem if we leave them, so we better take them with us, and also .. I think they will be very excited in this city."

If Noelle and Cryll leave Olivia and the others and ask them to leave first, it will be a painful matter for Noelle to take care of, so Noelle with a heavy heart had to carry them so that she could keep an eye on them at all times.

After all, in the city where they were at the moment, the group of girls would get even more out of control.

The city they had been to at the moment, Eisen, was such a huge trading city that it was capable of rivaling Suiren city in size.

And not only that, this city also has its characteristics, namely the city is built on a lake that is directly connected to the sea in the north.

In addition, the settlement form in the city of Eisen consists of tens to hundreds of islands separated by canals and connected by hundreds of bridges.

Since the city of Eisen does not have many interconnected landmasses, everyone in the city does most of their activities using small boats that can accommodate a family of four.

In addition to using a private boat, there is also a large boat that is used as a means of public transportation and is ready to take everyone to the destination that has been determined.

The passage of gates and stone fortifications surrounding the city was built on an artificial island that was built so firmly and neatly that it would not be damaged just because of the moisture under the water, or even a small earthquake.

Dozens of boats in various sizes at a constant speed sailed around the canal to deliver the people who boarded it, and various transactions were also seen carried out on boats that were neatly lined up, it clearly says that it is a floating market.

Even when Noelle and the others were still at the gate, they had already been blown away just by looking at the sight.

" … This is really similar to Venice … "

"You say something? "

Noelle involuntarily muttered as she looked at the scenery around her. Cryll who was currently helping her walk had a chance to hear that and ask to be sure, but Noelle just shook her head.

"No, nothing."

In Noelle's mind, he actually imagined that Eisen was actually another world version of Venice.

Although Noelle had never visited Venice, she did not know much about the city.

But Eisen is clearly similar to the pictures he has seen of the second most romantic city after Paris.

Behind her, Olivia and Charlotte stared at the scene before them with sparkling eyes.

(Yahh .. It is natural for girls to like this kind of city, but ... Even Charl as well? )

Olivia was just like Noelle, she had never visited the city of Venice, but just looking from the pictures, she could clearly imagine what kind of city it was. So he was really excited as he looked at the city of Eisen which was the otherworldly version of Venice.

As for Charlotte, she had never visited Venice, but she had already visited Eisen several times as she followed her family on the trip, but he still could not help but be amazed when he saw that scene once again.

"Alright, it's enough to admire the view, now let's go" Noelle said as she patted Cryll on the shoulder.

Cryll without saying anything immediately took Noelle and the others to the station, or rather the port to board the boat that would take them to the guild.

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

"Noelle, can you walk now? "

After boarding a boat and sailing through the canals that filled the city, the Noelle Group finally arrived at an island that seemed to be filled with people of various races.

Noelle just stood still and frowned as she tried to stand up.

"I can if I force it, but .. My legs still haven't worked well."

Noelle tried to stand up without Cryll's help, but her legs continued to tremble before finally falling down again.

Apparently as a result of the mental fatigue he experienced after using Verstand for a long time, both of his legs were affected and eventually became paralyzed.

It is not strange, for people with severe trauma, is not new if there are parts of their body that are disturbed.

It was just a psychological effect of hypnosis that was common for a period of time.

But still, Noelle who was so helpless that she could not even walk on her own two feet, was a novelty to Cryll, so she looked at Noelle with a slightly worried look.

Psycholytic problems cannot be cured by regeneration.

Noticing Cryll's worries, Noelle only spoke while feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I'll be fine after a while, for now you have to take me to the guild to make a report."

" … Okay, okay." Cryll finally complies with Noelle's words and takes her to the guild.

the guild was on a fairly large island with many other buildings surrounding it, various public activities were also carried out in the place so the island looked very crowded.

After passing through the hustle and bustle of buildings built on a small island, Cryll finally manages to take Noelle to the guild, followed by Olivia and the others behind her.

After they found a large building with a large door covered in thick metal, Cryll without saying anything immediately walked in and entered through that door.

"Olivia and the others can wait there, I'll call you after our business is done."

Noelle said and pointed at the part that seemed to be made into a cafeteria in the corner of the guild building.

"Nn, then we'll go first." Olivia nodded and turned around leaving Noelle and Cryll.

Charlotte, Chloe, and Stella just quietly follow him.

"How should I say it, but .. Doesn't Miss Olivia seem to dominate and be the leader of the girls there? " cryll said as he looked at Olivia's back that was getting further away.

"Don't ask me, I don't want to know that myself." Noelle simply replied to him with a wry smile.

After that, Cryll brought Noelle in line at the caretaker table.

They were both queuing at the counter whose queue was the shortest of the others, that was because Noelle really did not want to waste her time just to be served by a beautiful girl who became a receptionist at a more crowded counter than she currently occupied.

And sure enough, the one serving them up front was an old man in a butler uniform complete with a black-green accent that became the symbol of the guild.

"Good day sir, is there anything I can help you with? "

the man asked politely and used a formal tone on Noelle and Cryll who were clearly younger than him. Cryll doesn't mind that at all because he's used to the accent of a waiter, but not Noelle.

He really felt strange when there was an older person speaking courteously and formally to him.

But Noelle tried to keep her expression calm and keep her voice from shaking from nervousness.

"I'm here to give my report, the details are in this letter" Noelle said, handing over a letter she took from her pocket.

In addition to the letter, he also took out the ID card the guild gave him when he registered.

It says that it is a C-rank.

The old man who became the receptionist looked surprised upon seeing Noelle's rank that didn't match her appearance, but he immediately recovered his composure and read the letter.

(Control of perfect expression, even more so .. He did not ask anything about my rank ... Really professional .. I wonder how long he has been working as a receptionist ..?)

Noelle quickly analyzed the old man while he continued to read Noelle's letter until he immediately closed the letter again.

"I have received the report, now I beg you to wait until I submit this report to the superior."

"How long does it take to complete the report? " Noelle asked the man.

" … It depends on how busy the boss is, at a time like this, it will probably take about two hours or so."

The man answered Noelle after he thought for a moment.

Since only two hours were needed to complete his report, it meant that the guild was not so busy today.

Normally it would take about three to five hours just to submit a report to the superiors.

"Nn, all right, we'll wait at the restaurant."

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

"Well, where should we eat now? "

Noelle looked around and frowned.

"Because we've come to a pretty fancy city .. Why don't we enjoy the food in fancy restaurants too? "

Noelle then decided. He asks Cryll about his decision and notices the girls who seem to agree about the idea.

"I don't mind it, but .. I'm sure it's pretty expensive."

Cryll commented while frowning. In any case, right now Cryll doesn't have much money. He managed to maintain a lifestyle that was quite luxurious thanks to the savings he had, to enjoy food in a fancy restaurant was an exaggeration for him.

Noelle noticed that and then spoke again while estimating her expenses.

"Well, if I'm going to treat you as much, which restaurant would you choose? "

"Of course that one."

Cryll without making small talk pointed to a luxurious building built on the island that was quite close to where they are today.

It only takes a few minutes to walk across the bridge, or sail by small boat, they can get to that place.

Noelle looked in the direction Cryll pointed at, and her forehead immediately twitched at that very instant.

" … You never miss an opportunity to be treated, yes … "

"Use and make good use of the opportunity that is before me, that is my principle" Cryll said as he boasted.

Stella, who is behind them, seems troubled, but Olivia calms him down and tells him that Noelle has a lot of money she makes from adventuring alone.

"Well, I don't mind if we eat there, but .. Does the place have a special dress code? It's a luxury facility, isn't it? "

Noelle nodded and asked again, but this time Cryll instantly kept silent and whispered.

" … You're right .. I don't think about that."

Most luxury restaurants pay close attention to the 'quality' of their customers, especially from the way they dress.

It is a common thing on earth, but in this world, perhaps a dress code while visiting a fancy restaurant is a must do.

After all, they might assume that they only accept customers in the form of noble families or other wealthy families.

Cryll was a member of the Knight class noble family, so he should have been able to enter easily, but as much as possible he did not want to use his position as a noble, so he should have been able to enter easily, so he refused to bring the treasures and luxurious clothes that his family had offered him.

After all, he had no way of carrying all those useless items.

Noelle noticed that and then sighed.

"Well, our body sizes are not so different .. So my clothes should still suit you, and for Stella .. Olivia, do you still have a dress suit that you never used? "

After being asked that, Olivia puffed her chest out and said proudly.

"Of course I have it, it's one of the many dresses I make myself."

"Mhm, that's fine .. Then for Charl and Chloe .. I think your dress is still a good fit, and give your old dress to Chloe because her size is quite small."

"Alright~"

Olivia with a bright smile nodded and took Stella and Chloe away while Charl followed behind them.

Naturally she was excited, after all she was a normal girl who was interested in fashion. Naturally he was also interested in dressing a girl.

Staring at them from behind, Cryll then muttered with a dumbfounded face.

"I've thought about this before, but .. How rich are the Lynneheim and Landluven families really? "

" ……… "

Noelle didn't know how to answer. After all, the Lynneheim and Landluven families never existed from the beginning. It was no more his fad.

But the name works so well that he breaks out in a cold sweat when Cryll and everyone believes that he and Olivia are from that family.

"Well, let's go change our clothes."

Noelle switched the conversation to escape from the previous topic. He took off Cryll's grip and tried to stand on his own two feet.

"Mhm, it's still hard, but at least I can walk with this."

" … You don't have to force yourself to know? "

Cryll looks at her anxiously from behind, but Noelle ignores him and walks away from Cryll.

Staring at Noelle from behind, Cryll then let out a tired sigh while ruffling her hair and intending to go follow Noelle.

But something beyond his expectations suddenly happened.

"Hmm? Is that ... You? Crylin? "

Cryll was silent when he heard the sound.

Normally he would turn his head and look at the person who called him, but this time Cryll really did not want to do it.

He was still standing still as his mind worked at full speed to find a conclusion as to why that person could be here and find him.

" … Hey? Are you all right? I want to ask something … "

"-!!! "

As Cryll was speechless and panicking in his mind, the person patted his shoulder from behind.

Of course Cryll reflexively turned his head back to respond.

"ah! I thought you were Cryll! Where have you been?! "

"-Tch .. Fuck."

Cryll clicked his tongue and muttered in a low voice so that the person did not hear it.

(I really hate my instinctual automatic response .. )

As he sighed in annoyance, he looked at the person and greeted him with a stiff smile.

"L-long time no see .. Your Majesty."

(Ahhh shit .. )

The man who called out to her, had an appearance that looked about the same age as Cryll, had soothing almond-brown hair, and shining jade-green eyes.

He was the one who truly wanted Cryll to avoid at this moment.

He was the 4th prince of the royal line of Nothingnos, Norman vilce of Nothingnos.

"Why do you call me so formally? Just call me Norman as usual."

"That-"

"Oi, Cryll! How long are you gonna keep me waiting? "

Before Cryll finished her sentence, Noelle shouted to him from a distance.

"Ah, fine! I came! Sorry Your Majesty, I still have some work, then .. See you later."

Cryll makes use of Noelle's call and flees Norman.

He bowed his shoulders and immediately ran away from Norman while secretly thanking Noelle for her help.
