A Highest Rank in Another World!

Many residents were crying, but they were also smiling as they left their homes. The bodies of Orcs were around the village, it was a rather unpleasant sight.

In addition to the bodies of the ogres, there were also the bodies of some humans lying around here, I could see the suffering these people went through before they died.

"Thank you thank you very much." A woman approached along with a man. She was holding a baby in her lap as she cried. It was an odd scene of a woman much taller than me thanking me so deeply.

"I'm sorry I didn't make it in time, I could have avoided this." If I had come faster, maybe I could have avoided the death of these residents, I'm really feeling sad right now.

"None of that, you saved a lot of us, I don't even know how we can thank you." Not caring that all of this was due to guild incompetence or mine, the villagers were approaching and thanking me.

They didn't care that I was a child, for them I was their savior and that was enough.

As soon as everyone seemed to thank me, another commotion started. Many villagers had lost their relatives during the attack, so all the bodies were being collected while their relatives cried nonstop.

I didn't really like watching this scene, so I walked away from the village for the time being. So I went to where I had left those kids.

Once there, the three children were sitting on the floor and had already stopped crying. As soon as I approached, they got a little startled but soon calmed down.

"So?" A child said as her eyes filled with tears.

"Yes, I killed all those monsters that were there, so you can go back now." I don't know it was a good choice since the bodies were still there, so I decided to give up on that idea: "Actually wait a little longer."

"Hm?"

"?!"

The children looked confused, but I don't want to let them go to the village and see the bodies that might even be their parents. In my mind came an image of some dead women and men, they could be family members of these children.

I sighed and calmed down.

"It's just that the village is still a little messed up, how can I say, the walls of the houses were broken, you know? So you must wait here until the adults fix everything, otherwise, you can disturb them, understand?"

"But I want to see my mom." One of the children said with teary eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm sure your mother is fine, stay just a little longer with me here, understand?" After that, the children were convinced to stay there with me. To entertain the children, I started to tell some stories.

Stories I had read in some books and also things that had happened to me. Despite being quite young, the children seemed to understand everything and seemed quite entertained with the story.

I don't know how long it would take them to take care of everything there in the village, I hope it's quick.

####

It had been two hours and my mouth was already hurting from telling the children stories. I wasn't used to talking for so long.

So much time has passed, I think they had plenty of time to collect all the bodies.

"Listen, what do you think go to the village now? It's late." I came to this place after lunch and it had taken nearly three hours to get here, and now I've waited another two hours. It wouldn't be long before it started to get dark.

Maybe now it's almost six o'clock in the afternoon?

"Right."

"All right."

The three kids looked a little sad that they wouldn't keep listening to my stories, but I'm sorry about that.

After that we started walking towards the village, it wasn't that far away. The closer I got, the more the voices and the crying of people around the village became evident, it seems that everything was still not quite right.

Arriving at the village, we were greeted with worried looks from the villagers.

"Lesly, so you managed to protect yourself." As soon as we arrived in the village, a 30-year-old woman ran up to us and hugged one of the children. Then each child began to find her parents.

Thankfully, it looks like the parents of all these kids are doing fine, but it looks like not all the kids here have been so lucky.

I noticed the same child who was inside that house last time. She continued to look dark as before as if she wasn't sober or didn't want to accept what had happened to that woman who was probably her mother.

She was being taken care of by another woman, it was an old woman who was probably 60 years old. Maybe this child doesn't even have a dad? Is she very young, maybe she is five years old?

Dude, this is sad.

Besides her, there also seemed to be other children who seemed to have been orphaned. But most children still had their parents alive and well.

"I do not know how to thank." As soon as the children were far enough away, an old man approached. He had white hair and a lot of wrinkles on his face if I had to say, I will say he was over 70 years old.

He also used a crutch to be able to move well, wanted to know how this guy survived today.

"No need to say thanks, I just did my job."

"So you really are an adventurer, but you're so young." A woman interrupted our conversation, she was a woman as old as the man, maybe they are a couple?

"Yes, I just started working, hahaha." I was a little embarrassed as all the villagers started looking at me.

"That's amazing, even though you were so young you managed to kill all those Orcs so easily. In all my years of life, I think it's the first time I've seen something like this."

"Serious?"

"Yes, I haven't even seen a grown man or a kid kill so many Orcs that easily, are you sure you're a human and an adventurer?" The old man looked at me suspiciously. What does he think I am, a demon or something?

"Yes, look here." I showed him my adventurer's license.

"It's true, and you're only 13... Oh my god." Now that he was sure, he was even more surprised and his mouth dropped open.

"Let me see." The old woman took the license from the man's hand and also looked: "That's true, that's surprising." She was as surprised as the man, the villagers around us began to get excited about it.

"Alright, now I need to go back to the guild and report everything that happened, will you be alright?" I looked around and all the residents were there. The places where the bodies used to be were covered by dark sheets.

The bodies were also gone, probably all of them were carried to another place.

The bodies of the Orcs were still lying in the same place they had been before. Looks like they've only cared about taking care of their friends' bodies for now.

"I think it's okay, we already faced something similar a few years ago." The Man said calmly.

"Is it normal for something like this to happen?"

"Of course, even though our village is not that far from the capital, things like this sometimes happen. Normally they're weak monsters, but this time Orcs came and we couldn't do anything."

"I see, so surely right now many villages are being attacked out, aren't they?"

"Yes."

"Well, but since you guys say you're going to be fine, I think I can go back now." Then I said goodbye to all the villagers and left that little village behind. They all looked very grateful.

If I hadn't shown up there in time, they'd all be dead by now, wouldn't they? There must be villages being destroyed all over this world, but unfortunately, I can't help them all.

I'm not going to start creating in my mind that I'm a "Hero" and that I'm supposed to help everyone, it just never works in any story I've read.

Unfortunately, this will continue to happen.

I ran again towards the city. As I was tired, I took some breaks, and this time I didn't activate my abilities, so it took me a lot longer than before, maybe it took me almost four hours?

By now it must be almost nine o'clock at night...

As soon as I arrived in the city it was already dark and all the adventurers were already arriving, so I followed the great wave of adventurers and went to the adventurers' guild. Again the subject in the guild was that dungeon.

It seems to have become quite common for groups of adventurers to go out just to look for the dungeon, but what idiots.

Arriving at the guild, it was quite full, and as it was already dark, I decided to give up informing the guild about the mission today.

So I gave up and went directly to the inn. On the way, I passed some stalls and bought some food even though it was dinner time.

For some reason, a lot of people were looking at me.
