A Highest Rank in Another World!

Our hug continued for a while. I tried to pull away but Ciaphia kept holding me, so I couldn't do anything but allow her to continue to hug me. It wasn't a bad feeling.

'But I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.' I thought as she remained in my arms.

Until...

"Am I disturbing?" A voice suddenly caught my eye. And Ciaphia who was holding me suddenly released me. her was face red.

Behind the sofa where we were sitting, Lisandra was smirking as she looked at us.

"It's not that…I was just…" Ciaphia was trying to explain herself as her face got even redder. Should I help her in this situation? No, it's fun to watch, let's just leave it.

I just continued to smile as I looked at her. Ciaphia seemed to have noticed that I was having fun so she pouted as she looked away.

Lisandra seemed to be enjoying herself too.

"Sorry to disturb you, you guys can continue. But don't go too far, Noah is still a child." She said as she left the room.

"WHAT? IT'S NOT THAT!" Ciaphia yelled at Lisandra as she put a pillow over her face.

"Hahaha." I started to laugh as I threw myself on the couch and lay back down.

Ciaphia continued with her face buried in the pillow as she thrashed a little and made some strange sounds. That was a little scary.

But since we were here, I decided to ask her a question.

"Ciaphia, what do you think of me?"

At my question, Ciaphia was suddenly paralyzed. Then she took the pillow away from her face and looked at me like she didn't believe my question. What, did I do something wrong?

"You can't be serious…" She said as she looked at me with an expressionless face. She really wasn't buying my question.

"Well, I'll rephrase my question. I already know you like me... But why do you like me? How did this happen?" I had a lot of contact with her in the capital because she is Lisandra's closest friend.

But even so, I don't remember doing anything to make her fall in love with me.

"Besides, you told me you didn't like children, don't you remember?" I remember something like this happening, I was rejected even without declaring myself or having feelings for her.

"About that...I can't explain it very well."

"Can't explain? Well... But I think it's okay, I'm glad you like me that much."

"?!"

I closed my eyes again and kept my face upturned as I placed my feet on Ciaphia's lap. She looked a little bothered at first, but soon after, she moved with my feet while smiling.

It tickled, but it was also good.

And so we continued there together. I lay with my eyes closed while Ciaphia played with my feet. It was very nice.

####

Maybe almost an hour had passed, Ciaphia had been by my side the entire time. I had asked Clachel to pour some tea and also some sugar cookies for us, so we were eating now.

"Listen, what happened to you in the forest?" As I ate, CIaphia suddenly came up with a bombastic question.

"Well, I ended up finding a monster stronger than me, so I ended up injured and ran away."

"Hmmm…" Ciaphia looked at me suspiciously.

"It's serious."

"I'm not doubting you." No, you're doubting me, look at the way you're acting.

"But changing the subject, what happened while I was gone? Were we not attacked or something?"

"Hm? Are you talking about the war? It has been some time since we do not receive any new information on how the war is going. We don't know who won or if they ever faced each other…" Ciaphia looked worried.

"I understood. Didn't my mother try to get in touch with the capital?"

"Well, she was worried about you all the time, she didn't even have time to do that. It would take too long, so we'd be unanswered anyway."

"I understand. I'm a little worried about the war... Will our country win?" I started to remember that armor I had faced before I died.

That guy was dangerous.

He was very strong, he beat me even though I was using the goddess's blessing. And even though my agility increased so much, I couldn't get away from him, that guy was scared me...

'Just thinking about him gives me the chills.'

"Hm? We have a lot more military power than them, don't we? I don't understand about wars, but I think our country was supposed to win easily."

"You're right…" I answered her as smiled.

"But why are you worried? You saw something, didn't you?" Ciaphia moved even closer to me.

"You can tell me, I won't tell anyone." She said as she kept her face close to mine. I didn't pull away, but as soon as she realized how close away she was, she pulled away.

She is a very pure girl.

"I didn't see anything, I just have a bad feeling..."

"If you're saying, I won't doubt you." Ciaphia then took a biscuit and put it in her mouth. She made a smiling face as she enjoyed the taste of the biscuit.

"What was that about?" But while we were sitting eating, someone appeared behind the sofa again. It was Lisandra, she looked like she'd showered and was wearing casual clothes.

"That what?"

"Well... You guys were hugging and..."

"It's nothing. Don't think so much about it."

"Sure, sure..." Lisandra put a smile on her face and then sat down beside me.

"Is this biscuit? I want!" She took three cookies and stuffed them in her mouth at once.

"No need to eat so fast."

"Hmm," With her mouth full she completely ignored me.

####

It was already night and I was having dinner with my family as usual.

Ciaphia, Dala, and Clachel had already gone home, so it was just my mom, dad, Lisandra, Lari, and me. Dala had left the food prepared before she left, so Lari was just serving everyone.

"Mom, can I ask you something?" While we waited for Lari to serve the food, I decided to ask my mother what state the war is in at the moment.

"Clear."

"How is the war going? Is it true that you haven't received any information?"

"Well... I sent a letter to the capital today, now we have to wait for answers."

"Didn't you guys go to the border to at least see how things were?"

"You're crazy? What would happen if we were seen and chased? Surely the village would be invaded." My mother replied without thinking. My father also seemed to agree with this.

"I understood."

"But why do you want to know about this? Are you hiding something?" My mom looked at me seriously. Then my father also looked at me waiting for an answer.

You guys are making me apprehensive.

"Of course not. I'm just worried about our country. What would happen if we lost?"

"Don't say that. There's no way our country can lose... "My mom didn't look confident as she said this. She's worried about the war too.

My dad also seemed to be worried.

"Right. Now we just need to wait for the capital's response, don't we?"

"Exactly. Now start eating, you need to eat a lot to recover."

"Haha...okay."

Then we all started eating, but I couldn't get the war out of my head. Should I go to the border to check what happened after I was killed? No, I must not do this.

Maybe I get information if I try to contact the goddess? I will try this.

[ End ]

"I'm very proud. The acquisition of the ability [ Immune to physical and magical attacks ] was good. Also, my agility it's too high. I think I won't lose to almost anyone in speed from now on."

Especially if I use the [ Goddess' Blessing ]

I would become one of the strongest adventurers in the country. Or maybe I'm overreacting?

"But whatever, I don't have any more stitches to use so I don't have to worry about that right now. Let's do what I wanted to do before, which is get in touch with the goddess."

Saying that I got up and then called for her.

"Can you hear me?"

I called her but didn't hear an answer. 

But I didn't give up.

"You are there, aren't you? I need you to tell me about the war. How is the war going? Did our country lose?"
