A Highest Rank in Another World!

After Meduz got hurt inside the stroller, the brothers had finally stopped running. When this happened, Meduz stood up angrily.

"I told you guys to stop running! My body is all sore, you idiots!"

Meduz put her hand on her spine and her arms.

'Damn, I'm strong, but I don't have much defense. Will my defense increase if I train here? I hope so. But now is not the time to think about that.'

"We're sorry, it's just that we get too excited." Maukil smiled a little awkwardly.

Drog, on the other hand, ignored Meduz and then approached the gate.

The snow was still falling and a dense fog was everywhere.

Since no one could see well, Drog approached the gate and shouted.

"It's me, Drog, you can open the gate!" After he shouted this, from the top of the wall Meduz could hear another shout of someone asking for the gate to be opened. Then the large wooden gate began to open.

The gate was made of dark wood.

"All right, let's go inside. Don't be alarmed if they end up asking you a lot of questions, our village is not used to receiving visitors."

"You guys aren't going to eat me, are you?"

"What do you think we are? We eat meats of wild animals as well as humans and demons. I can believe you are one, no?"

"That's right."

"Then don't worry, just relax and don't be scared."

"Okay."

Drog approached again and helped Maukil carry the cart inside.

The first thing Meduz noticed when he entered the village was that the fog had completely disappeared.

'Do they use some kind of magical protection?' Meduz thought as he looked up at the sky.

But without having much time to think about it, the first people approached.

It was two tall men with bluish skin just like Meukil and Drog. But unlike the two teenagers, the two men were almost two meters tall and had huge toned muscles.

And they were carrying large, menacing axes on their backs.

As soon as Meduz saw the two approaching the cart, she ducked down and tried to hide. But to no avail, the first thing one of the men did when approaching the cart was to duck down and look inside where Meduz was standing.

"So, who is this little girl?" The man asked suspiciously as he snorted.

"Her name is Meduz. I found her in the middle of the mountain and decided to help her. She said she is lost." Maukil replied not looking like he was being intimidated.

So Meduz realized that everything was fine.

"If that's it, it's okay. We're not used to having visitors, so don't get too nervous if a lot of people start approaching you."

"Maukil told me that before."

"Hahaha, it's good that you know. And don't make any messes either. I can feel that you are not just any little girl." The man said sounding like he was threatening Meduz, causing her to just look away.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything like that."

"I understand. If you need help with anything you can come talk to us, we are always willing to help."

"That's right, don't hesitate to ask for help." The other man who had been silent the whole time finally said something.

He looked at Meduz and gave a gentle smile, unlike that other man.

'I liked him.' Meduz smiled at him as well, seeming to cause a sort of 'Critical hit' on the man that almost made him faint.

He was the typical man who liked cute little girls.

"All right, now let's go to my house. I'll introduce you to my mother and also to my father. My mom and dad are a little temperamental, so don't be too scared."

"Don't worry, I don't get scared that easily."

"Despite being a little girl you are quite brave."

"I told you I'm not a little girl."

"Okay, okay."

Then the cart began to move through the village.

Unlike what Meduz thought about ogres, they were all very organized and clean. The streets had no trash and were clean, there was little snow on the streets showing that they cleaned up daily.

And the best thing, everyone was smiling and having fun, it was as if they didn't have any problems around here.

'What a peaceful place, it would be a great place for a massacre to happen at any time.' Meduz thought about the darkest thing that could happen in a place like this.

'Well, the most peaceful places are the most likely to have a catastrophe happen. Or that's what my master said.'

####

After being stopped several times, Meduz ended up stressing out a bit. But they had finally reached the home of the two brothers.

It was a simple house built completely of wood.

It was a very nice structure much like a cottage.

"Wow, they sure are amazing at building their own houses," Meduz said in admiration.

"Okay, we're here, you can come down now. Or do you want help?"

"No need, I'll get down myself." Meduz jumped out of the cart and finally put her feet on the ground again.

'I was already tired of being carried.'

"All right, let's go inside, don't be shy. Mom, we're here!" Opening the door, Maukil shouted cheerfully.

The other ogres passing by just laughed at the situation.

'Everyone is so friendly, it gives me the creeps.'

"Are you going in?"

"Oh yes, I'm coming." Hurrying up, Meduz entered, and soon after Dorg came in and closed the door.

"Waaa, it's so hot in here." That was the first thing Meduz said as she entered the house. 

"Yes, we all have a heater in the house or a fireplace. I told you before that we feel cold, don't we?"

"Yes..."

Meduz looked around and analyzed the structure of the house.

A large living room with a sofa made of leather, a kitchen that was connected with the living room. There was a wood stove and some basic wooden cabinets that seemed to be a bit empty.

And what most caught Meduz's attention was the floor.

Everything was covered with a fluffy carpet that softened her feet.

'I've never seen a house like this before...' Meduz began to step on the carpet while smiling like a child.

"Do you like it? My father built it, he's amazing." Maukil beat his chest and showed his fangs to Meduz as he smiled.

"Yes, he is amazing. Everything is so nice and cozy. You guys have a beautiful home."

"What is that way of talking? I didn't think you were so formal."

"But I didn't speak formally, I'm just congratulating you guys."

"Whatever, I have to find my mother. I wonder if she's out yet."

"Does she go out much?"

"She has a clothing store in the village, so she goes out every day."

"I see."

"But whatever, do you want some tea? I'll make it myself. And Drog, make sure you get her a coat."

"Right."

"Oh, no need, it's warm enough in here."

"Are you sure?

"Yeah, no problem."

"Hmm" Maukil looked suspicious, but then smiled again.

"You can sit on the couch over there if you want. Keep her company Drog, kids are usually lonely."

"I already told you not to call me a kid."

"I'm just kidding."

Then Drog sat down next to Meduz and was silent. And Meduz didn't want to bring up a subject, so the two continued in silence until Maukil finished preparing the tea made on the woodstove.

####

"I'm home." After almost an hour, the front door opened.

A female voice could be heard. It was a firm voice. Seemed to be a rather strict woman and also quite muscular.

But the actual image of that woman was different from what Meduz expected.

A beautiful woman with medium breasts. She had rather light bluish skin like Maukil and Drog and her hair was black and wavy.

Her eyes were a light green color which gave a very interesting contrast. Unlike the two brothers who had black eyes.

Meduz continued admiring the beauty of the woman until she was noticed by her.

As soon as she noticed Meduz, the woman approached the couch.

"So, who is this? Who was it that brought a child into the house? And she's not even an ogre. I want explanations." Without caring about Meduz's presence, she started to say that.

Maukil smiled bitterly and got up from the couch.

After he left the teacup on the small table that was just in front of the couch, he approached Meduz and took her hand.

"Wa?" Surprised, Meduz almost pulled her hand away. 

"This here is Meduz, she is a little girl I found while climbing the mountain. She was lost and I offered to help."

"Do the guards know she is here?"

"Of course."

"I understand. But how do you intend to help her, are you going to make a map or something?" The woman put her two hands on her waist and looked at Meduz and Maukil.

"That's not a bad idea, thanks, Mom."

"What? Wait a second. Why did you offer to help this girl? You don't who she is, what if she's someone dangerous?"

"Do you think this little girl could be dangerous?

"Of course she is.. You can't see the amount of magic that's circulating this little girl? She's not an ordinary person like you think."
