[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 67: Man (1)

(AN: I'm sorry, my health has gotten a little bad lately, which makes it hard for my brain to work, so ... Yahh..


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


"Well, for now we better keep that a secret."


Noelle quietly warned Charlotte.


"Remember, don't let my wild theory be heard by others, because it will be a big deal."


Charlotte with trembling eyes tried to nod her head.


Although Noelle spoke in a voice that was almost indistinguishable from usual, the pressure she exuded upon warning Charlotte was so different that it made Charlotte shudder.


Charlotte hesitantly nodded her head and made Noelle instantly smile.


As soon as he felt he had convinced Charlotte, he went straight back to the book he had read since. Unaware of the existence of Cryll who walked up to him.


"Yo, have you found him? "


Cryll patted Noelle on the shoulder and made Noelle flinch a little, she really got off guard when she was excited like that.


However, his ability in acting is good enough to immediately put on a flat face and stare at Cryll.


Noelle shook her head with a disappointed expression.


"Free .. I guess it's the kind of monster that hasn't been registered yet."


"So yeah .. I didn't find anything either, and I've also asked Stella to look for clues in the book about insects, but."


The two of them let out a sigh of resignation as soon as they finished sharing the information.


The night before, they had a big fight because Noelle 'flagged' his name as the perpetrator. But, today they acted normally as if nothing had happened that night.


Charlotte who saw their behavior inevitably made a wry smile because it reminded her of the children's quarrel.


"There's still a possibility that Terneth is hiding something, but .. For now we better keep looking for as much information as we can."


"Yes, I agree with you."


Noelle and Cryll stared at each other with narrowed eyes, then nodded their heads compactly.


Charlotte looks confused when she sees the two of them, but she ignores him and comes looking for some information by reading some books that Noelle has lent her.


"By the way .. What is it? " ask Cryll while pointing at the plate filled with pudding.


"That's the pudding," Noelle replied without even glancing at her.


"See different than I've ever seen … "


"Yahh, just taste it .. There is no noticeable difference about the taste .. But Olivia's work is definitely better."


Cryll looked at him in confusion, then turned his gaze on the pudding.


Noelle glanced at him and smiled wryly.


(I think Olivia was too excited to make the portion too big .. )


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


"Ahh, this is free! "


Cryll resentfully scratched his head and slammed the book he had been holding onto the table with a loud bang.


"There is absolutely no information about them! Even if there was, I was pretty sure that the information was kept secret by the Guild party or even the Terneth bastard himself! "


Cryll frustratedly sunk his face into the table and muttered.


"If he does know something, why doesn't he tell us … "


Both Noelle and Cryll are somehow convinced that Terneth is hiding something from them.


The two of them had no basis for that suspicion, but their instincts said otherwise.


Noelle and Cryll were the types of people who would consider and obey their instincts, so they hurriedly started searching for that hidden information somehow.


" … Even Noelle hasn't found anything … "


Cryll unhappily turned his head back and saw hundreds of books stacked into a fortress.


Although he hated to admit it, but Cryll knew who was better between the two of them in analytical skills.


Cryll's true ability lies in his strength in combat, as well as his meticulousness in observing situations. It is really not very useful in terms of information analysis.


Another case with Noelle, Cryll considers he is the embodiment of 'perfection' because he has many great abilities in him.


" ……… Shit … "


Noelle is superior to him if it's about brainpower. Not that Cryll was stupid, he only lost a little bit to Noelle.


Noelle's comprehension ability was also only 'slightly' higher than Cryll.


" ……… "


Cryll gloomily sighed and got out of his chair, then walked into the gap formed between the piles of books.


"Hey, I'm going out, do you want to come? "


Cryll called Noelle in a soft voice to not bother her.


Olivia and the others had left the library, and only the two of them were left now.


Noelle really did not move from her position and focused on continuing to read books one by one, although in the end she did not find what she was looking for.


Noelle glanced at Cryll for a moment, then turned her gaze to all the books piled up around her.


"Ahh, it's been this long, yeah .. Mhmm, I'll come along."


Noelle rubbed her eyes for a moment, then stood up.


"It just so happens that there's one place we have to go" Noelle said as she tidied up her tangled clothes.


"the place? "


Cryll asked while tilting his head.


"Mhmm, we will visit the blacksmith that Terneth chose to make my request," Noelle replied without further ado.


Cryll jokingly pointed at the hundreds of towering books behind Noelle.


Noelle saw that and looked back at Cryll with a flat face.


"To be honest I really wanted to just go and leave that pile of books behind, but .. I've already compiled them, so I'm going to put most of them back on their shelves."


As soon as Cryll took a closer look, it was all neatly arranged based on which shelf Noelle got it from. That way, Noelle could more easily return all of those books using Verstand's telekinesis abilities.


A moment later, a beam of bright light began to gather in Noelle's grasp and form a silver-colored sword form.


At that very instant, those stacked books began to float freely and returned to the shelves where they were each.


Noelle unhesitatingly recounted her weakness in using Verstand's strength, which was that she could only control five objects at once at the same time.


However, he was able to overcome that weakness with the 'grouping' system Noelle applied.


Noelle should not have told Cryll that at all because it was too risky, but he without a doubt kept telling it.


After all they had no reason to be hostile, so the two of them naturally became off guard.


After a few moments of watching the stunning scenery of hundreds of books floating through the room and one by one filling the empty bookshelf, Cryll clapped his hands lightly for a moment and invited Noelle to come out immediately.


Fortunately, they had put up a barrier capable of erasing their existence so that not a single person in the library saw their action.


After exiting the library building, Noelle reflexively narrowed her eyes due to the glare of the afternoon sun.


A bright orange-colored sky instantly filled his gaze as soon as he opened his eyes.


" … Looks like we're taking too long inside … "


"Mhmm, I didn't realize it because I was too focused on the book I was reading … "


Noelle's mental calculations became chaotic as her mind was focused on seeking information, which is why she didn't realize how long she had been there.


"Alright, now ... Where is that blacksmith you're talking about? Terneth just told you, so I don't know the place."


Cryll asked Noelle while looking around.


The area around them began to be quiet from the activity, but this was still too bright to end the activity, so there were still many people wandering everywhere.


"The location is not far from here, we can reach it by crossing the bridge."


Noelle said as she read the small map in her hand.


" ……… This map is quite detailed, where did you get it? "


"I bought it when we were in the underground coliseum. There's a black market, too, remember? "


The map Noelle bought contained all the information about all the buildings present in the residential district and the trading district as a whole, so Cryll was a little surprised upon seeing it.


In fact, on the map was also a building marked as the headquarters of the Assassin guild disguised as a flower shop.


There was also a map that covered all the buildings in the slums, but Noelle did not buy that one because she could explore it herself later.


" … Okay, I don't know about the price, but I'm sure it's quite expensive .. For now, let's go."


Cryll with a petrified face walked following Noelle who was walking down the street while looking at her map.


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


"Should be here … "


"Noelle .. Are you really sure this is the place? Anyhow … "


—Isn't this just an unkempt old building?


That was what Cryll wanted to say, but he did not have time to finish his words because Noelle had already barged in through the fragile-looking wooden door.


"Hey~ Is anyone here? "


"N-Noelle .. I don't think we should just walk in … "


Cryll frantically tries to stop her, but Noelle just arranges it with her eyes as if seeing something strange.


" … Cryll ... You are a little noisier than usual today ... Are you sick? You better get some rest."


"I'm healthy! Very healthy! Why are you asking that?! And stop that weird expression of yours! That's disgusting! "


"Hey~ Is anyone here? Answer me before I blow this place up."


"Where's your manners you son of a bitch."


It was not Cryll who answered him, but rather a hoarse voice that appeared from right behind them.


"Ohh, you're there! Your presence is so weak that I don't realize it! "


Noelle surprisedly looked towards the source of the voice and found a man who looked to be in his mid-40s, sitting on a hammock hanging right between the two pillars supporting the house.


" … Noelle .. Isn't this very suspicious? "


Cryll came forward to Noelle and asked in a whisper to her.


Noelle did not change her expression and answered Cryll in a very low voice.


"Of course it's very suspicious! I didn't feel his presence at all, you know?! "


Unlike when Cryll called Noelle out of the blue while in the library, Noelle currently had her concentration fully paying attention to the surrounding environment so she should have discovered the man's whereabouts immediately, but Noelle was completely unaware of it until the moment the man himself showed himself.


Although Noelle's heart was beating so hard and fast that it made her worry that others could hear her voice, Noelle maintained her smile by relying on her acting skills.


" ……… Shit … "


The man let out a long sigh and clicked his tongue, then looked at Noelle.


"What do you want? You thugs."


( ...... He asked me to fight .. ).


Noelle with a twitching forehead and cheeks thought about that while painstakingly maintaining her smile.
