A Highest Rank in Another World!

It was already dark outside, I could see through the holes in the roof and through the window of the house that was partially open. I could hear the kids playing outside even at night.

I could also hear some drunks laughing and I even heard the sounds of carriages passing along the street.

And even after so long, the man still hadn't come back.

I hadn't asked his name and I hadn't even looked at his Status, so I didn't even know exactly who he was, I won't find out until he arrives. Time passed and I was hungry.

But as he told me not to force my body, I continued lie down.

After so much waiting, finally a movement at the door. It was him.

He came in carrying some bags that looked like they had some bread and also some herbs that I didn't quite know what they would be used for. Seeing me lying there looking at him, the man just smiled.

Taking advantage of the situation where we were both silent and I had nothing to do, I took a look at his Status.

So his name was Bale. He wasn't as weak as I was thinking. Coincidentally he has two skills that came in very handy when he came to help me. That's what I call convenience, but I appreciate that convenience.

After that, I waited for Bale to prepare what he had to prepare. He used a small stove that used wood to work. Using some kind of magic stone he lit a fire with ease.

The first thing he did was cook some vegetables that he had brought along with the bread, and in another pot, he was preparing a tea that the herbs. The smell of vegetables and meat was good.

I was so hungry right now.

"You are hungry, aren't you?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Ahahaha, you're staring at the pot like a dog."

"..."

"But don't worry, it's almost done."

After a few minutes, he served the meat and vegetables in a shallow dish, but it was a very clean and well-kept dish.

With his help I managed to sit up and was eating normally, this was one of the best meals I had tasted in a long time. Who knew that just a few vegetables and a little meat could taste so good.

The next day.

I was feeling much better and the wound was much less painful. After I drank the tea prepared by Bale, I managed to sleep very easily. Yesterday we also had a good conversation before I could sleep.

On that occasion, I ended up asking your name, as I had only seen your Status and hadn't asked, so it would be weird.

I talked to him for a while about what to do after I left. I would have to clean my wound daily for a while, the more time that passes, the better it would be.

I think it's kind of obvious.

He also gave me some tea leaves that he used to make the medicine for me. He told me to brew and drink it once a day for a week so I wouldn't suffer pain and my wound wouldn't inflame or become infected.

I thanked him and said goodbye.

I also got some clothes from him so I was really grateful for that. They were old clothes, but it was still a big help, I couldn't thank him enough for all his help.

The movement through the streets had returned to normal, it was as if that warning for people to stay indoors had never happened.

I walked now without pain and managed to arrive at the inn in a short time.

As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by Sara's nostalgic look. She was surprised and happy to see me. She set the tray aside and ran to me.

'I think I'm getting in the way a bit.' A few people looked at me irritably. Sorry for delaying the service a bit.

"You finally came back, I was so worried." Sara approached me and hugged me, she was treating me like her son, am I that important to her?

On second thought, in a short time we created a great intimacy here, it was as if we were already best friends. I confess that I feel good for having managed to create friendships so easily in this place.

"I'm sorry, I ended up taking too long. I'm glad I found a man who hosted me."

"Yes, he came here yesterday. I was a little scared, I thought that man might take advantage of you somehow." Sara hugged me tighter, she really looked worried. But... What kind of thing did you think he would do?

I think it's better not to ask.

"Don't worry, he didn't do anything to me. And Lisandra, where is she?" I looked around and she wasn't sitting anywhere, normally by this time she would be drinking coffee and reading a book at some of the tables.

"Oh, she left yesterday too."

"What you mean?"

"As soon as that man came and said you were coming back today, one of her friends from her school showed up and took her away."

"So you mean Lisandra was kidnapped by a friend?"

"I wouldn't say kidnapped, I think she just went out for a little fun. She also doesn't return yesterday, she must have slept at her friend's house, she'll probably be back soon."

"I see, thank you, Sara."

"No problem, the bath is already prepared for you upstairs, enjoy." Sara gave a huge smile and then went back to pick up her tray. I'm really sorry guys, it wasn't my intention.

I greeted the people who were there and then went to the bedroom.

As soon as I walked in I noticed that Lisandra's bed was messed up and there were books all over the place.

"Just like when we lived with Mom, doesn't she learn?" She loved leaving things for our mother to tidy up, I got tired of counting how many times our mother caught her attention for it.

Looks like she took advantage of my absence to throw a reading party around here.

She also had a tray with leftover food and some glasses. Looks like Sara or the staff haven't cleaned the room yet, so I need to have a serious talk with Lisandra as soon as she gets back.

"But now, bath time." I took off that old outfit I'd gained from Bale and tossed it on my bed, then grabbed a new outfit and headed straight for the bathroom.

####

"Noah?" I had already finished my shower and was lying down.

An employee of the inn had already come and cleaned the room, and as I had nothing to do, I ended up helping. After that, I just took one of Lisandra's books and started reading it, and it was boring.

A romance between a prince and a commoner and was not accepted by anyone. A melancholy story with a tragic ending, it felt just like many other stories I had read.

And just as I was getting ready to read another of the books, Lisandra opened the bedroom door with great force.

"Hm?" I looked at her.

Lisandra looked at me for a while longer and then ran to me, jumping on top of me who was lying down and hugging me with all her strength. Wanting her not to find out about my injury, I held back so I didn't express any signs that I was in pain.

"I missed you, where were you?" Lisandra had watery eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I didn't pay attention to the time. When I saw it was already late. I was lucky a guy I knew took me in him home."

"You can't do that, what if that guy wasn't nice and tried to abuse you or something?" She is the second person who tells me this today.

"Glad he wasn't a bad guy... Hahaha." I forced a smile. He's much nicer than he looks, I have to find some way to thank him.

"You idiot, don't ever do that again, got it? I was worried, even after that guy showed up here, I still couldn't calm down."

"You seemed pretty calm since you went out to have fun with your friends."

"I did it to distract myself, it's different."

"I see... I understand..."

"But I repeat, if you disappear like that one more time, you can be sure that I will be very angry with you, understand? Or have you already forgotten that I'm the big sister here?"

"I haven't forgotten, it's just…" You're still very childish.

"Hm?"

"It's nothing, I promise I won't disappear again."

"That's right, good boy." With Lisandra's gentle smile and her warm hug, I could see how much she cared about me and how much she reminded me of our mother.

'I can't let this relationship end. I promise you I'll never worry you again.." I hugged her too.
