[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 79: Gathering (2)

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

"Hey, who's that bastard? "

The knight who seemed to be Norman's bodyguard suddenly broke the silence while frowning.

" … What did you mean, Dyland? "

Norman narrowed his eyes trying to ask, but the man named Dyland continued to look at Noelle who was still taking care of all the weapons without caring about her.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but .. I can't allow you to hang out with an unknown person like her."

Dyland then walked around the sofa and approached where Noelle was.

"I don't care if it's just Mr. Light and Miss Roselynn because they are descendants of nobles, and their strength is also guaranteed, but … I can't let an incompetent stranger come with Yang Mu–"

Sentence ceased.

That's because Noelle who was sitting on the floor is now standing right behind him. With a sword blade pointing right at his neck.

"Geez, you're too noisy. Can I make my preparations calmly? "

Noelle smilingly pressed the blade against her neck and made some blood-splitting wounds.

Dyland remained silent by widening his eyes and holding his breath in shock.

After a while the room was silent, Noelle then released herself and with a bright smile returned to the stockpile of those weapons.

"I really hate being bullied when I'm focused, you know? That's very upsetting. So you better stop your behavior because we're gonna work together, okay? "

Noelle was speechless with a bright smile, yet anyone who was there could clearly feel the dangerous feeling Noelle was emitting.

Dyland remained frozen still as several sharp sword tips were now being pointed at him.

"Mhmm ... My preparation is done, except ... This one … "

Noelle confusedly scratched her head as she looked at the one box filled with metal and new parts.

"What'sthat? " ask Cryll.

"This is my weapon of order .. I changed my request to Glantz when we met him at that time."

"Weapons .. In my eyes it's just a shapeless piece of metal."

"Really, right? But this isn't completely so."

Charlotte, who had been silent, tried to stand up from her seat, and approached Noelle.

"What is a shuffle? "

"Mhmm .. I asked Glantz to make it into a disassemble because it would repurpose it for Glantz if I had to make it whole."

"Hee~ Then .. Why don't you assemble it now? "

"That's my intention, stupid."

Noelle quickly answered him and made a twitch appear on Charlotte's forehead.

Cryll saw Noelle begin to examine the assembly parts one by one then asked.

"You need help with that? "

"certain. I'll hand over the design of the model, you try to arrange all the parts according to the design so that I can assemble them quickly."

"All right."

Cryll naturally moved his hand and took the parts of the weapon one by one, and arranged them on the floor.

Right now, the two of them were already indifferent, or did not even remember the people who were watching them directly.

And of course, as Noelle's focus was being shifted to assembling her weapon, she lost control of the telekinesis that controlled all the swords that had held Dyland back all this time.

Dyland with a frown tried to approach Noelle, but was soon stopped by Norman's gaze.

" … Tch."

He clicked his passage back to his position, right behind Norman.

Although Norman had already stopped him, it did not make Dyland's hatred for Noelle just disappear.

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

"With this .. Done! "

Noelle smiled brightly as she picked up the weapon she had just assembled.

"Alright, congratulations. By the way, how does it work? It was similar to a sword."

Cryll asked the question that everyone there wanted to ask.

"Fufu~ I'm glad you asked! "

Noelle happily stood up and held up her new weapon.

As Cryll said, the weapon had a blade that was sharp like a sword, but it also had a strange section with a hole in the end.

"From the sword, it is more like a rifle … "

Charlotte commented while staring at Noelle's new weapon.

"Technically, this is a rifle, but also a sword."

Noelle confirmed Charlotte's words and held her right in the handle of the weapon.

"Look, both sides had very thin and hard parts like sharp sword blades in general, however, at the ends that should have been taper parts, it was turned into a hole of casings for 'bullets' to come out," added Noelle.

"Well, I'll explain it later, for now we better get ready to go. 'The ship' is waiting."

Noelle hung her new weapon on her waist and walked outdoors with Cryll.

"Ship? "

Olivia and Charlotte tilted their heads in bewilderment as they watched them exit.

The room was once again filled with awkward silence, but Olivia without saying anything else immediately carried the little raccoon in her hands and walked out.

"Then ... Let's go too … "

Norman awkwardly immediately stood up from his seat.

Terneth and the other guild officers were already outside after they brought Noelle the supplies she wanted, so there was no reason for Norman and the others to keep waiting.

"Lilith? "

"Hmm? Ahh ... I came … "

Lilith with a gloomy face followed them from behind.

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

"Uwaahhh … "

Noelle with a gloomy face looked at the shocking sight before her.

Not only her, but Olivia and Charlotte were also looking at it with frowns.

"Noelle? Did something happen? "

Cryll asked her with a worried face. Realizing that, Noelle then smiled wryly and answered Cryll doubtfully.

" … No problem .. I was just a bit surprised when I had to board this ship … "

"Have you ever climbed something like this? "

"No– I mean I've been on it, but .. It's been a long time since I last got on a ship of this size in the vast waters … So I'm not sure I'll manage to survive the nausea … "

Olivia and Charlotte compactly nodded their heads several times after Noelle finished speaking.

"Hee~ Drunk sea, yes … "

"Mhmm .. Yahh, somehow I'll deal with that later, for now .. Let's go up."

Noelle slowly walked over the bridge that connected the pier with the large ship they were about to board.

It was a wooden ship large enough, yet not too large to be called a cruiser.

The giant sails spread out on the tall masts seemed to be bulging with the wind, and the bridge Noelle and the others used to enter the ship was immediately lifted.

For a large ship, it did not have many passengers.

In fact, everyone who was on the ship could still be counted with a finger.

There was only a group of Noelle and Norman on board. In addition, it might just be bodyguards, servants, and captains who were busy navigating the ship.

Noelle and the others were each given one room to rest or prepare something else.

Before departure, they had all explained that the journey would take several hours to arrive at the destination forest.

Fortunately, the weather is quite good and the current is not too heavy so the journey runs smoothly.

Noelle arrived at the room reserved for her and immediately dropped her body on the bed.

Noelle with a lifeless face let out a tired sigh. He rolled over and drowned his face in a soft pillow.

(. .. I haven't been alone in a long time like this .. )

He gets a room for himself because he still has to do some things, so Olivia will be in the same room as Charlotte and Chloe.

In addition, the departure time turned out to be much faster than he had anticipated, so he did not have time to provide evidence of Terneth's plan to the Earl as the Landlord.

When Noelle heard from Terneth that the Earl was in his place, Noelle immediately had the intention to hand over the letters and evidence of Terneth's actions to the Earl so that he could be free, but …

The accelerated departure schedule disrupted his plans.

He could have sent the letters using his familiar, but, the distance he was from the Earl's location was quite far and was beyond his detection range, so Noelle could not carelessly rely on the familiar to deliver the letters.

( ... This is stifling.)

Noelle again sighed tiredly and got up from her bed.

He immediately stood up and walked over to the table where he placed all the things he had brought.

Noelle took the weapon she had just obtained from Glantz, and tried to swing it.

"No problem with the weight, but … "

Noelle then opened the cabin window and found a view of the dense forest surrounding her.

" … Although this is just a river .. Why did Terneth make us board a ship of this size … "

His worries before leaving just now seemed to be in vain.

" … Yeahh, who cares."

Noelle lightly shrugged both of her shoulders, then pointed the tip of the weapon out the window.

After taking a deep breath for a moment, Noelle confidently directly poured a small portion of her magic energy into the hilt of the weapon.

Instantly, a bluish-colored magic power began to envelop the weapon and was absorbed into it.

The absorbed energy then gathered in the magic crystal that was placed right where the circuit was.

And before long, a ball of energy with a high density began to form at the end of the existing weapon directed outside the ship.

Noelle unhesitatingly pulled the trigger that was at the end of the handle and shot out that energy ball.

The energy ball Noelle shot out instantly drove at a very high speed and destroyed all the trees and rocks that blocked her path, leaving behind traces of flames that burned the trees and bushes.

Noelle who saw that was instantly petrified while glancing at the tip of the weapon that had just fired that crazy attack.

Smoke started to come out from the muzzle of the flat-shaped weapon, making Noelle smile awkwardly.

"It's good, but .. I think I should reduce the input even more, besides .. I think it's perfect .. Although I still have to get used to using this weapon in the left hand … "

Despite having already obtained another weapon, Noelle did not intend to leave Verstand and Langen, she could fuse her second form into one sword, thus, she could use another weapon in her empty hand.

Noelle grasped the hilt of the weapon with her left hand and tried to swing it a few times to get used to it.

For the record, Noelle was an 'Ambidextrous', she could use both hands at once normally without interfering with her brain and motor sensor abilities.

Of course he has that ability because of the exercises he does on a regular basis.

"Now ... I think I should give her a name .." Noelle said as she stared at her new weapon with a bright smile.

" … Although it has the form of a single weapon, it has two functions, namely cutting and shooting .. Two functions at the same time .. Equation ... Sharp .... Double, her suitable name is .. [Zwei Aligma]! "

Noelle raised one corner of her lips while staring at her new weapon, [Zwei Aligma].

(AN: The above is a simple design [Zwei Aligma], can't make a detailed design because I don't have enough time. Please click the image if the image is truncated.).

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

"Excuse me, Mister. It's time for lunch."

As Noelle cheerfully swung her new weapon, Aligma, the sound of knocking on the door was accompanied by the sound of a man calling out to her from outside.

(Lunch? How long have we been gone? )

Noelle raised both of her eyebrows questioningly. Even so, he remained out of the room leisurely.

Noelle had already put all the items she had brought into her spatial warehouse. It is too dangerous to leave something at such a time.

"Tch ... He brought it all … "

And sure enough, Noelle unintentionally heard a tongue whisper accompanied by a low mutter from the man who called her earlier.

Noelle doesn't know what her goal is, but she has confidence that it's for an investigation of information about her to be conducted at Dyland's behest.

Noelle raised one corner of her lips subconsciously as she walked down the hallway towards the place the man was referring to.

"Sorry to keep you waiting … "

As soon as he arrived, he immediately said his greetings and without saying anything else immediately sat down right next to Olivia who was waiting for him while looking at him with a gentle smile.

"Did your test work? "

Olivia asked while tilting her head. It made Noelle frown and smile wryly.

"So you know, yeah … "

"Fufu, of course. Anyway the explosion was so big that I could hear it."

" … Sorry about that … "

Noelle could only apologise awkwardly while Olivia looked at her with a gentle smile.

"Wait, experiment? The explosion? What do you mean? "

Norman interrupted their conversation and looked at Noelle with a serious face.

Noelle who seemed unaffected by the 'threatening look' shrugged and said, "I've only done a few experiments regarding my new weapon."

A moment later, a similar weapon that Norman and the others saw this morning appeared in Noelle's hands.

It was Aligma.

"I didn't think the explosion would be that big .. I still had to learn to control his energy intake … "

Dyland who was standing behind Norman took a position as if he would draw his sword at any time when he saw Aligma who was in Noelle's hands.

Noelle, however she doesn't care. He simply pointed the tip of Aligma's snout right towards the giant rock on the riverbank.

The place they used for lunch was an outdoor dining venue so Noelle could freely direct her attack exactly in the direction she wanted.

After positioning the end of the barrel of Aligma and making a stable position, Noelle immediately pulled the trigger.

The dense energy ball again shot out from Aligma's muzzle and easily shattered the large rock that Noelle was targeting.

"Dangerous weapons as usual, huh … "

Cryll added his comment after whistling a little. He stared at the rock fragments that slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

"Aligma is indeed dangerous, but .. Compared to your Sword Geist, this is still nothing."

"So you even gave him a name, huh ... And also, what do you mean by 'My Sword Geist is more dangerous'? "

"Don't pretend, I know if you're serious, you could've burned down a town to the best of your ability."

The two continued to throw each other praise sentences that seemed to give a mocking impression until they finally stopped and laughed with a wry smile.

"Ummhhmm .. Iza .. I mean Noelle .. Can we talk to you for a minute? "

As Noelle was enjoying the cake served as an appetizer at the table, Lilith with a gloomy face tried to call out to her.

"I don't mind, but .. What? "

Noelle tried to make sure by tilting her head and let out a puzzled expression.

Lilith seemed to want to say something else, but immediately stopped when she saw Noelle's sudden change in reaction.

Noelle looked around with narrowed eyes.

" … Is there something? "

Lilith tried to ask worriedly, but was ignored by Noelle.

"!! … Cryll! "

"I understand! "

Noelle immediately shouted as she looked at the sky with a tense face.

Not only Noelle, but Cryll with a tensed expression immediately readied the Sword Geist on his back and cast a barrier magic around everyone.

Noelle frantically grabbed Olivia's body with one hand and hugged her with all her might, trying to cover her from the open sky, while her other hand was directed towards that sky.

In the next instant, a dazzling beam of light and an overwhelming vibration immediately struck their ship.
