[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 60: Unexpected Reunion (3)

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

"Ahh yeah .. introduce, I was Norman vilce Nothingos, me and Cryll were friends since we were in the academy."

Norman introduced himself to Noelle cheerfully, but Noelle was still petrified with a pale face.

(Damn ... I didn't expect the person I least wanted to meet to be the first to appear before me!! Ahhh jerk .. )

Noelle grumbled in her own mind as she was still petrified.

" … Hey, Noelle ... Are you okay? "

Worried that Noelle didn't say anything, Cryll immediately asked Noelle to be sure.

"Ahh .. Ms, I'm fine."

His voice trembled slightly and his face was pale. Even so, Noelle still tried to maintain a flat face and put on a fake smile that he used to use on strangers.

He raised his hand to shake Norman's hand and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Noelle Lynneheim, I knew Cryll during the tournament in Suiren."

Hiding her tension, Noelle shakes hands with Norman.

"Lynneheim yes .. I've never heard that name ... Are you from another country? "

"That's how."

Noelle broke out in a cold sweat as she had to get acquainted by using the surname she had made for fun.

However, Noelle knew that Norman was the prince of the kingdom, so it was no wonder that Norman knew something about the list of families in the Kingdom of Nothing.

"Norman .. You're disturbing other customers."

When Norman wanted to say something, someone called him from behind and surprised Noelle.

(Ahhhhh shit!!! Of course it'll be like this! Why didn't I think about it in the first place ..!)

Noelle screamed in her heart as she looked at the person, or rather the group that called out to Norman.

However Noelle felt the same sensation that she felt when she saw Norman earlier.

And based on the list of reincarnators Anastasia gave her, Noelle knew that there were some other reincarnators who were members of noble families in this world.

So he should have guessed this meeting would happen at a time close to when he met Norman.

But Noelle was in such a state of panic that she did not have time to think about this possibility.

"Ahh .. Iris, I just say hello to Cryll for a moment."

Norman turned to look at the person who called out to him.

Noelle who heard that name also immediately froze while tightly grasping the glass in her hand.

(Iris ... What is Iris and Alexandria? He's wrong .. Manami Tohka, right? Then Norman vilce Nothingnos is Arata .. Ahh shit .. It would be dangerous if Olivia and Charl were here, and also .. )

The red-haired girl caught Noelle's attention a little, when she found out that her name was Iris, she immediately shivered.

Noelle grimaced as she thought of the possibility that was about to happen, and as she looked behind the chatting figures of Norman and Iris, she looked back, there were a few more people who came to them and made Noelle only able to sigh resignedly.

(Damn you Cryll.)

He cursed Cryll in his mind as he tried to think of a solution to get out of this problem while enjoying the wine in his hands.

Cryll who sat in front of Noelle just casually enjoyed the opening snack provided on their table while showing an innocent expression as if she was innocent.

However, Cryll had given up on this matter first.

As Noelle glanced at Norman who was painstakingly trying to say something to Iris, Noelle only sighed for the second time and thought that the situation had eased a little.

Iris had already dragged Norman away sitting at the table for being quite close to them.

After Norman sat down, Iris walked back to Noelle's place.

"Sorry for my friend's behavior, he's a little out of control." Tohka apologized to Noelle while bowing her head.

"It's okay, it looks like he's really excited."

Noelle with her perfect smile commented about Norman, however…

(Suck ... Quickly get out of my sight! Get rid of it before Olivia and Charl come here damn ..!)

He tried to drive Iris out in his mind. Noelle really did not want to look any further with Norman's group so her brain worked at full strength to find a solution for Olivia and Charlotte not to meet them.

"By the way .. Have we ever met somewhere? Your face looks familiar to me … "

(Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!! Stop thinking about that!!! We've never met before! Not yet! And I'm also better off never meeting you!!! )

"Mhmmm .. I don't think so.. I just arrived in this country a few months ago, so my face should still be very foreign, right? And if we've really met before .. There's no way I can forget your pretty face."

Noelle perfectly said the sentence that was completely opposite to what she was thinking while putting on an elegant smile.

Obtaining words of temptation and a serious look from Noelle, Iris instantly had a pink hue on her cheek as her eyes wandered about uncomfortably.

"A-ahh .. You praise me too much."

(Hehe, in the end she is still a girl who cannot stand being teased .. )

"But I'm telling the truth .. Although I'm a forgetful, there's no way I can forget someone as beautiful as you."

Iris's face turned red. He seemed to want to say something, but his lips just moved without taking out a word.

After a while, Iris finally recovered her composure and looked down at Noelle with a shy smile.

"Then, excuse me. .. My other friends are waiting for me there."

"Alright~ Meet me anytime if you have a problem" Noelle said as she blinked one of her eyes.

(I hope your life is full of luck so you never show up in front of me.)

"A-I'll do it later .. Then I'll go now .. Cryll, see you later."

"OK~"

Unlike before, this time Cryll replies cheerfully as he sees Iris walking away from them.

Cryll with a bright smile looked at Noelle while shaking her glass.

" … What? Your gaze is disgusting."

Noelle asked him, but Cryll remained silent while narrowing his eyes with a sly smile.

" … Say something fucking."

" … Hehehe."

Cryll could not help but laugh, he continued to tremble as his eyes continued to stare intently at Noelle.

"What's wrong with you? " asked Noelle with a disgusted expression.

Stared at by Noelle with a look of demeaning makes Cryll's eyes narrower and his smile becomes sharper.

"You look used to teasing a girl~"

"Such skills are necessary to survive in society."

"Hee~ But you look more expert than I imagined~"

"It's just because you're too lousy in judging things" Noelle said in a condescending tone.

Cryll did not feel insulted at all, he continued to continue his words.

"Yes yes, that's true ... Your ability to tease a girl is much higher than I imagined .. You even teased Miss Iris easily earlier~"

" … c.h."

Noelle's premonition began to feel bad, he felt that Cryll would do something dangerous for him.

"And Miss Iris also had a fiancee, you know .. She was the fourth prince of the kingdom of Nothing, Norman who spoke with you earlier … "

" ……… "

"Noelle Lynneheim, a new adventurer who has reached C-rank in no time, has teased the fiancee of a prince .. I think I have something interesting to report to Miss Olivia later … "

" … 30 percent of my pay in this mission will be yours."

"I'll ask for 40."

(This book .. )

Noelle tried to lower the number, but Cryll just shook his head.

" … 30 percent plus 7 gold coins."

Cryll shook his head again.

"Listen here you bastard … "

That way, Noelle and Cryll continue to bargain with peppered words of insults in each of their offers. But in the end, Cryll agreed to get 30 percent plus 5 gold coins as offered by Noelle earlier.

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

After a while of waiting in a bad mood, finally a servant walked up to Noelle.

"Sir, your guest is a four-girl with Miss Olivia as your fiancee, is that appropriate? "

The maid asked with a pleased face, she might consider Noelle's suddenly gloomy mood.

"Yes, that's right .. Please bring them here."

"As per your request."

Bowing for a moment, the waiter finally went to turn his back on Noelle.

"Are they finally done? "

Cryll asked limply in front of him.

"That's how, you better prepare yourself … "

Noelle's voice grew smaller as she looked at the servant who came to her from the front door.

Cryll is also the same as Noelle, he is completely frozen still while strengthening his hand so as not to drop the glass containing wine.

After all, behind the servant was the figure of the girl they had been waiting for since.

Some of the customers around them also seemed to start a commotion when they saw Olivia's group coming to Noelle's table.

There was a male customer who intended to stand up and approach Olivia, but was immediately slapped down by the woman next to him, and there were some customers who dropped their cutlery out of focus so a waiter immediately ran up to him to deliver a new one.

"I'm sorry for making you wait for Master, your guest has arrived" said the waiter, smiling meaningfully.

"A-ahh yes, thank you … "

Noelle stammered slightly thanking the waiter and smiled.

"H-hey Noelle .. Whether my eyes start to break, or .. Stella does look very different than usual … "

(Don't ask me, Olivia looks like that too.)

Cryll in a frightened voice tried to ask Noelle, but Noelle's state was also not too different from him so Noelle could only shut up and just answer in her mind.

"Fufu~ Was Noelle surprised? I spent a lot of time preparing all this."

" ……… "

Noelle was somehow unable to say anything. He was completely frozen with his eyes constantly staring at Olivia standing in front of him.

Olivia's appearance is not so different from usual, she uses a classic black dress with open shoulders, as well as a long skirt to the knee with a dark black-blue accent that fits perfectly with her classic dress.

Olivia also used some accessories such as necklaces and earrings of white gold that seemed to shine when exposed to light and a neatly tied dark blue ribbon seemed to really complement her silver hair that was left to be draped up waistline.

The black high heels that Olivia wore also made her ideal body look taller and more elegant.

Olivia only used a thin amount of makeup on her face so as not to deprive her of her natural beauty.

the appearance was not much different from the usual 'gothic Olivia', but the aura around Olivia felt so different that Noelle could only silently admire her.

After a moment of petrification, Noelle finally regained her senses and immediately stood up to prepare Olivia's seat with a servant who suddenly appeared from behind.

Cryll also immediately regained consciousness and followed Noelle's movements. She really looked awkward as it had been a long time since she had last seen Stella in a fancy dress.

Of course Stella will wear a fancy dress if she is invited to a party, but Stella's current appearance is completely different from the one Cryll remembers.

Stella wore a short-sleeved white dress with fringes sewn using sky blue threads, making the dress have the perfect color combination.

Her peach hair which is usually tied with ponytails, this time left loose with a few strands of her side hair tied in braids.

It was really an innocent appearance, yet somehow Stella looked so dazzling that it attracted a lot of attention of the surrounding customers.

Maybe it was Olivia who made it as a grooming doll, she seemed a little tired, but she was obviously very happy with the changes Olivia made to her.

Noelle silently praised Stella while she patted Olivia's head with a happy smile that looked different than usual.

"Olivia's been trying really hard."

Olivia looked so surprised when Noelle suddenly patted her head, but she immediately narrowed her eyes with a delighted expression and looked at Noelle with a hot look.

Noelle patted Olivia's head because this was a public place full of people, if they were in the inn, Noelle would without a doubt immediately hug Olivia right then and there.

"Ehehe~ Noelle~ How about Charl and Chloe? I've been trying to dress them up too."

"Hmm~"

Noelle looked towards Charlotte and Chloe who were sitting not far from her seat, the two of them sat down with the help of a waiter who had been serving Noelle since the beginning of her entering the restaurant.

Charlotte wears a long-sleeved white blush with the same blue fringe as the one-piece Stella dress, as well as a black ribbon neatly tied around the collar of her blouse.

Olivia also paired it with a short black skirt, similar to the one Charlotte often used on normal days.

Her appearance was not so crowded, Olivia really considered Charlotte's comfort in wearing her clothes. Charlotte usually wears a sleeveless white shirt as well as a black ribbon that tidies up her blond hair, but this time Olivia makes Charlotte wear a long-sleeved blouse and take off the ribbon that ties her hair.

With just a slight change to the clothes and makeup she wore, it had already made Charlotte very different from usual.

Chloe who was sitting next to him also looked different from usual.

Chloe was wearing the gothic dress that Olivia used when she was the same age as Chloe, it gave a nostalgic impression to Noelle who had not seen the dress for a long time.

Olivia gives Chloe her old dress because it looks fit on Chloe's small body, and her long black hair will also be more suitable if combined with an old-fashioned gothic model dress that gives the impression of luxury.

(Ahhh Chloe looks so cute~ I wish I could hug her~)

Noelle was happy when she saw everyone was satisfied with Olivia's makeup, but more than that, Noelle was also happy when she saw Olivia having fun dressing others.

While they were both in the vampire castle, Olivia did not have any 'dolls' for her, so she used to use Noelle as the subject of her experiments.

Cannoning oneself and decorating others is different in terms of difficulty and results, so he needs someone else to use as his experimental doll.

Fortunately Noelle has an androgynous face type so she fits all the fashion models Olivia thinks about.

And thanks to that, Noelle became more accustomed to cross dress.

Noelle smiled bitterly as she thought about the ironic fact while Olivia joined in enjoying the wine that had been poured in her glass.

Olivia was not so resistant to alcohol, so Noelle only allowed her to taste it a little, whereas Charlotte preferred to drink the juice with Chloe since they both never tasted alcoholic beverages.

"A-Yes .. No …? "

When Noelle was busy daydreaming alone, she did not realize Iris had approached them and muttered Olivia's name in her previous life.

Although Iris only muttered, her voice clearly reached the ears of Noelle, Olivia, and Charlotte who were sitting quietly.

Of course, Olivia reflexively turned her head immediately and looked at Iris with a surprised face.

Not only Olivia, even Charlotte and Norman who were a bit far away from them.

Of course Noelle instantly slapped her own forehead as she realized her recklessness was happening again.

She is completely overwhelmed by Olivia's appearance which is too dazzling for her that she unwittingly forgets the fact that another reincarnation group is near them.

Charlotte who was sitting right beside Olivia was also staring at Iris with a face full of surprise.

At first he did not know Iris, but thanks to his instincts that were sharpened thanks to evolution into a [Fallen Angel], he easily recognized that Iris who was in front of him was a reincarnation just like him.

Charlotte was so shocked that she reflexively looked directly at Noelle with a questioning look.

Noelle who was stared at by him just did not realize that and still frowned while biting her own nails, her brain at full speed continued to try to find a solution to escape from this situation.

Olivia and Iris continued to stare at each other with shocked faces. Iris subconsciously dropped the fork in her hand and started asking with a quivering voice.

"A-what are you ... Ayano …? "

" … Toh .. Ka …? "
