A Highest Rank in Another World!

The next day Noah called his mother and father over for a chat before they left to take care of the village's problems. They sat down at the table and Lari poured the three of them some tea.

"So, what do you want?" Emma asked right after she sat down.

"I talked to Rose yesterday, it seems that she and her mother are thinking of going back to the capital." 

"Is that it? I think it's okay." 

"Not only her, but Taciane, Eli, Ciaphia, Dala, Clachel, and Rieli is also wanting to go back to the capital. I promised them that I would talk to the two of you about it."

"They want the two of us to arrange carriages? No problem, we can do that." Lucio said sounding calm.

Of course, this was not bad or impactful news.

"That's right, but there's something else too..."

But Lucio and Emma's calmness disappeared after that. They already seemed to know what Noah was going to ask, but still, they didn't rush into it.

"What is it this time?" Emma placed her cup of tea on the table and Lucio looked intently at Noah.

'Huh, the look of their eyes has me a little worried.' Nervous, Noah took a while to speak, making his mother a little impatient. After she pressed him, he spoke what he wanted.

He wanted to go to the capital together with the others.

"No, you're not going." And his mother gave an instant response to his request.

"But why? I'm about to turn 14, I'm almost an adult. And you know you don't have to worry about me, I'm strong enough to defend myself."

"Noah, you know your mother doesn't want to let you go for another reason."

"..."

"You lied to me, you know I hate that." Emma became irritated again, so Noah decided not to say anything more and stood up.

"Don't try to do anything stupid. Should you use your teleportation magic and try to go to the capital or something, I will never forgive you, understand?"

"Tsk..."

Snapping his tongue, Noah turned away and went to his room.

Lari was watching everything and approached the table.

"Why aren't you letting him go? Is it just because of that?"

"Huh?" Emma looked at Lari, causing a certain amount of fear in her. Emma sighed and calmed herself down.

"I can't trust Noah after everything that's happened to him. I'm afraid he'll do something crazy and end up killing himself."

"I confess that I'm afraid of that too." Lucio agreed with Emma.

Lari at the side seemed to understand the concern of the two, but she had still taken pity on Noah.

Surely Lisandra would return to the capital and he would be here 'alone' again.

'I like that he'll be away from Ciaphia, but that's not what he wants, so I feel bad for him. Am I an idiot?'

"All right, Lucio, you get the carriages ready to take everyone. I'll contact some adventurers to serve as escorts."

"Oh, sure."

The two got up and left the house.

Lari cleared the table and then went to Noah's room, but he didn't answer her and remained silent inside his room.

'Sometimes I forget that he's a child.'

####

Another day passed.

Lucio and Emma had already started the process of taking two carriages to take everyone to the capital. In addition, Emma had sent a letter to the nearest town and hired some adventurers to help with the escort.

Within three days the journey to the capital would begin.

Noah again had tried to convince his mother, but she refused to let him go along with everyone. And as he imagined, Lisandra was willing to go to the capital and his mother allowed it.

"It's a shame she's not letting you go... What do you think about me staying here with you?" Noah and Ciaphia were together at the training camp.

Taciane and Eli had already left.

"No need to stay, I don't want to "arrest" you here. I can use my teleportation magic to visit you, so don't worry."

"But would that be a good idea? If you use it you'll have to stay in the capital for a whole day. Your mother would surely be very angry."

"..."

"..."

"Ahhh, I wish I could understand why she is still so angry with me about that! I just want to travel and live my own life now."

"Even if you say that, you're still 13 years old."

"I know..."

"Well, we still have a few days before the trip starts, so let's enjoy the rest of our time together, what do you think?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know... Train? Eat together?"

"We already do that almost every day."

"You're right...."

####

"Goddess, are you here?" Arriving at his room in the night, Noah again called out for Isadora.

He was being ignored every day by her since that had happened to his brother (sister) and it was making him worried and also confused.

Did the goddess know why this had happened?

Her silence only left Noah with more doubt.

"Goddess, are you here? Just answer me."

[ Yes, I'm here ]

"YOU FINALLY ANSWERED!" Noah suddenly shouted.

"Noah, what happened?" From the living room, his mother shouted.

"Nothing, Mom, I'm talking to myself." He answered and then went back to paying attention to the voice in his head.

[ I'm sorry, I was a little busy. ]

"Are you sure? You were afraid to talk to me after what happened, weren't you?

[ About that, I'm sorry. I didn't know this would happen and I have no involvement with it. ]

"Still, you could have done something to help! You own this world, you could have just undone that miscarriage or something. Isn't that simple?"

[ I don't know if I've told you before, but I can't meddle in the lives of the residents of my world like that. What happened was a natural event, in my world this happens to many women. It was a fatality that it happened to your mother. ]

"I can't accept that."

[ I know it's hard to believe that I couldn't have done anything, but it's the truth. I wish I could have helped her. ]

"Then you should have said it before. I've been waiting months to hear it from you, what were you doing?"

[ I said I was taking care of some problems. Hades is causing trouble again and one of my brothers asked me for help. ]

"Again this fight between brothers and sisters..."

[ That's right. But it's all settled now, so don't worry. ]

"I wasn't worried about it. I was just worried about what happened to my mother. Now that I know you couldn't have done anything, I feel calmer."

[ Did you think I would let your brother die and do nothing if I could do something? I would never do that. ]

"I don't know, I still don't fully trust you. You're the person who threw me into the middle of a war between gods. You're the sister of the man who manipulated my friends into killing me."

[ Don't compare me to that man. I helped you, you know. If your soul had fallen into his hands you certainly wouldn't have the good life you have today. ]

"Good life? I just keep getting hurt, I can't raise my level anymore, my family goes through worse and worse problems. What a wonderful life!"

[ You keep getting hurt because you're weak, you don't raise your level anymore because you don't try and you're being "arrest" by your mother. Every family has problems. ]

"All right, I get it, now get away from my mind. Only show up when I call you."

[ You're very childish, you know that? I'm here to help you, you don't have to treat me that way. ]

"The last thing you've done so far is helping me."

[ ... ]

####

Then the day of the trip arrived.

Two carriages were to be used to transport everyone.

A carriage that was Emma and Lucio's and a carriage that came along with the adventurers that Emma had hired.

The adventurers were a group of two men and two women between 25 and 30 years old. It was a fairly skilled B-rank group, so Emma was quite pleased with them.

And everyone also seemed to trust the strength of the group.

So after everyone had talked to the adventurers, the bags began to be packed and everyone started to say goodbye. 

It was a quiet goodbye, except for Ciaphia and also for Lisandra. Ciaphia didn't want to leave Noah, so she started to cry. Lisandra didn't want to get away from Noah and her family, so she was also quite sad.

Since Lisandra could stay if she wanted to, the only thing Noah thought after seeing her crying, was.

'If you are so sad, why are you going?'

But he didn't say anything to her. Noah said goodbye, hugged her, and then went with the carriages to the outside of the village. Along with him were Emma, Lucio and some villagers who went to say goodbye to everyone.

Eli, Taciane, Ciaphia, Rieli, Rose, Sara, Dala, and Clachel, everyone had stayed a long time in the village, so they had created many friendships.
