A Highest Rank in Another World!

After arriving at the inn they were staying at, Noah asked Lisandra and the others to sit down and he went upstairs to the second floor.

After talking to her parents, the three of them went downstairs.

When Lisandra found her mother and father again, she promptly stood up and hugged them both. It had been a while since they had seen each other, so Lisandra was feeling quite happy.

Ciaphia too didn\'t miss the opportunity to get up and greet Emma and Lucio.

"All right, now let\'s get down to business."

And after they all sat down, Emma put a serious eye to her face and then looked at Lucio and Noah.

They both nodded and she began to tell them everything that had happened. Emma was trying not to speak too loudly so that the other people wouldn\'t hear.

Lisandra and the others listened attentively.

The story was being told and Lisandra became more and more incredulous with the whole situation.

Was it possible to go to another world? Does Noah have contact with the goddess? Did all the people in the village die? Did his mother and father fly through the sky and come back here with the help of the goddess?

There were so many crazy things that Lisandra couldn\'t digest any of them.

Ciaphia, Taciane, and Eli were also confused and couldn\'t believe it all.

But because of the trust, they felt in Emma, Lucio, and Noah, they knew that it was not a lie.

And after she finished telling them in detail everything that had happened, everyone was silent.

It was not a pleasant atmosphere, everyone was nervous and also sad about everything. Especially Emma who was not feeling well before and now had to tell Lisandra and the others in detail about everything that had happened.

Lisandra, after being silent for some time, stood up.

"I need a moment to digest all this, okay?"

After saying this, tears appeared in her eyes and she quickly left the inn. Taciane and Eli got up and ran after her.

Ciaphia looked at Noah and he waved for her to go after Lisandra.

"Looks like she\'s not going to take all this so easily," Noah said as he leaned back in their chair and looked at his mother.

"Yeah, but I\'m sure she\'ll be fine." His mother smiled and then stood up.

Lucio, followed her and the two of them started up the stairs.

But before they went up, Lucio looked at Noah and asked him to keep them informed about Lisandra. 

"I will."

Noah agreed and then also went after Lisandra.

"Hey, Lisandra!" Ciaphia held Lisandra\'s hand. 

When Lisandra turned around, Ciaphia could see the tears in her eyes. Because of this, she felt the need to hug Lisandra.

Taciane and Eli watched Ciaphia and Lisandra hug each other in silence. Then Noah approached.

He looked at them and gave a small smile.

\'It\'s good that she has friends to support her.\' Noah thought.

"Don\'t be like that, it\'s okay, try to cheer yourself up," Ciaphia said in Lisandra\'s ear. Lisandra squeezed Ciaphia even tighter with her arms.

Then she let go of Ciaphia and looked into her eyes.

"Thanks, but now I want to be alone, okay?" Lisandra smiled and then turned to leave. Ciaphia would go after her again, but Noah stopped her.

"Don\'t worry, she\'ll be fine."

"But..."

"Although she doesn\'t look it, Lisandra is an emotionally strong girl. By tomorrow she\'ll be feeling better."

"She didn\'t seem to have a strong emotional when you almost died."

"Well, she likes me quite a bit."

"Are you saying she doesn\'t care that much about the villagers?"

"Of course not, you idiot. I\'m just saying that we are siblings and have always been very close."

"..."

"Well, we don\'t need to discuss that. Just leave her alone, at night you guys try to talk to her."

"All right..." Ciaphia said as she lowered her head looking dejected.

Noah saw this and moved closer.

"Thank you for always supporting her." Noah moved closer and hugged Ciaphia. He then pulled back a little and looked into her eyes.

After looking at each other for a while, the two kissed.

People passing by looked at the two, but they didn\'t care.

"Alright, shall we go to your place? I want to spend some time with you guys to talk. I feel like I\'ll hear some interesting stories." Noah held Ciaphia\'s hand and then called Taciane and Eli.

The four of them then went to the home of Ciaphia, Taciane, Eli, and Lisandra.

"I understand, you guys are already almost moving up in rank. That\'s good, but you should be careful, don\'t rush."

"You are really saying this? Do you remember when you started working as an adventurer? Your first mission was something very dangerous." Ciaphia reminded Noah of his dark past.

The past where he was working hidden from his mother. It brought him a lot of trouble.

"Well, I\'ve been pretty strong since I was little. And speaking of difficult mission, I went on an adventure again today."

"And you again took a dangerous mission?"

"Well, yes. It wasn\'t as hard as I imagined, I was hoping it would be something more challenging." Noah gave a small smile.

"What was the mission?" And Taciane, who was curious, asked Noah looking excited.

"Well, it was a Rank C mission. I had to face 5 red-skinned ogres." Noah said as if it was no big deal. But Taciane, almost fell off the couch when she heard that.

"WHAT? FIVE RED-SKINNED OGRES? Damn, it\'s going to take us a long time to reach your level!" Taciane whined.

Eli, beside her, consoled her.

"Ahahaha, why are you so surprised, Noah is very strong, isn\'t my love?" Ciaphia moved even closer to Noah, leaning her body against his.

Taking advantage of the situation, Noah took his arm and passed it behind Ciaphia\'s neck, and pulled her even closer to him.

"Don\'t call me "love" in front of them, I feel embarrassed." Despite saying that, his face was not red.

"Then can I do that when we are alone?"

Hearing that, Noah brought his mouth closer to Ciaphia\'s ear and replied.

"Yes, love."

Upon hearing that, Ciaphia\'s face instantly turned red. Next, she began to give small smiles.

Taciane and Eli smiled bitterly as they watched that.

\'I wanted a boyfriend.\'

\'They are so cute together.\'

[ Noah? How are you feeling? ]

It was already evening, Noah had returned to the inn and was lying in his bed while looking at the moon through the window.

With Isadora\'s sudden voice in his mind, he startled and then rolled over in bed after realizing it was her.

"Yes, I\'m better. Just a little worried about my mother and Lisandra. Could you tell me how they are doing?"

[ Sure. ]

[ Your mother is already asleep, your father is taking good care of her. And Lisandra is finishing dinner now. Ciaphia and the girls are being very supportive, I\'m sure she\'ll be feeling much better tomorrow. ]

"That\'s great to hear." Noah got out of bed and then put on a hooded jacket.

[ Where are you going?]

"I\'ll take a walk around the capital. It\'s been a few days since I\'ve been here, I\'m going to enjoy it a little."

[ Okay, but don\'t do anything stupid. ]

"Like what?"

[ Something like... Start a fight or play hero and run after bandits. ]

"That\'s an interesting idea... But I don\'t like to be a hero."

[ ... All right, take care ]

"See you, Isadora."

Noah left his room and went downstairs. It was late, so there were few people downstairs. But already on the street, the movement hadn\'t slowed down.

Several people walking back and forth.

Crowded bars, busy restaurants, and drunks on the streets.

\'I don\'t like this kind of atmosphere anymore. I guess my tastes have changed.\'

Noah put on his hood and then entered a dark alley. After that, he used his agility to jump in the walls and climb on top of one of the buildings.

After doing this, he went to the edge of the roof and sat down to watch all the movement.

As Noah did this, he started thinking about a few things, like what to do from now on, how to help his family recover from this \'shock\', and also how to raise his level enough to protect himself, his family, and friends.

\'I couldn\'t protect everyone now... But I\'m sure that next time nothing like that will happen. I will also be sure to get revenge on whoever did this to all, I will for sure kill the fucking god who did this.\'

Frustrated, Noah punched the roof, opening a hole.

Because of this, the person who was sleeping just below Noah woke up startled and started screaming, forcing Noah to run out of there.

As he ran and jumped through the buildings, again Noah felt someone\'s gaze on him, but seconds later the gaze disappeared.

\'If you want to talk to me so badly, you should come closer.\'
