A Highest Rank in Another World!

"Hey, where did you leave that 200 monsters? Is it okay to leave them in that world?" A man wearing a hood asked Kime as she walked down a huge hallway.

It was a hallway made of black bricks with a few custom doors here and there.

"No problem, they will be able to survive without me," Kime replied as she opened one of the doors and entered a laboratory created for her. With several tables and jars and also some beds.

On the beds, some people were lying motionless. Chains bound them and a mask had been put on their faces.

"Every time I walk into this lab I get goosebumps." The man said as he looked at the people lying on the beds.

"Just don't come in here. Now leave me alone I need to continue testing some things."

"How much longer are you going to keep torturing these people?" The man approached one of the people and noticed a large cut made on his belly. Looking inside, he could see the organs of that person moving.

Feeling his body get goosebumps, he turned away as he tried to forget that scene.

"Even you are a demon you are still disgusted to see human organs? You're weird." Kime said as she took a scalpel in her right hand and soon after placed a lantern strapped to her head.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not the kind of demon who keeps torturing people and eating their organs."

"Hmm... Now, are you going to stay here and watch this? Or are you going to leave? It's going to be a little disgusting for you."

"Don't worry, I'm going out. And be prepared, our master wants to have a meeting with us tonight."

"Okay, okay."

The man quickly left the room. Just after he closed the door, he could hear the agonizing moans of one of the men inside the room.

'That woman is crazy, and she didn't even answer me about those 200 monsters. But whatever, the goal was to harm that world anyway.'

"Rose, don't you want to go to Emma's house today?" Sara asked as she looked worriedly at her daughter. 

"Since you arrived in the village, you have changed your way of acting. The girls have been asking about you. They said you suddenly disappeared." She moved even closer to Rose who was lying on a bed.

As she approached, Rose turned and looked directly at the wall ignoring her mother.

"Are you still worried about Ria? I told you not to worry about it. I'm sure she's fine, okay? " Sara placed her hand on Rose's head and then stroked her.

"Did you know that Noah came here a few days ago to ask about you? He looked worried."

"And what does Noah have to do with it?" 

"Well, I guess nothing. But he seemed pretty worried about you. I had to tell him you weren't feeling well. He was even more worried after that."

"It's okay, just leave me alone."

"Are you going to go back to acting like a child again? You've been stuck inside this bedroom for days. And I have to stay inside too to take care of you."

"You can leave, you don't have to take care of me."

"You know I can't do that."

Sara took a deep breath.

"What about Noah, even when he was hurt you didn't go visit him, what if Emma got angry with you or something? I don't think she would be angry, but still...'

"I was just afraid he was going to die, so I didn't want to get close."

"But what kind of reason is that? You need to get up and talk to him, come on."

"I don't want to."

"The villagers are already starting to talk about the two of us being hikikomori. That's painful."

"But I already said you can leave."

"Come on. Let's talk to everyone and explain why you're like this, they'll understand."

"They won't understand. They'll just call me a child who cries because her friend is far away."

"Of course not! You're just worried and they'll understand."

"I'm not just worried. I'm feeling guilty because I didn't remember to call her to come with me."

"But she was at her house. You couldn't just go to her house and call her."

"Still..."

"Come on, just stop acting like that. Even Rieli seems to be having fun and working in the village. And she was also working with Ria, right?"

"Yes..."

"She was quite sad when Noah got hurt even though she didn't have much contact with him. She even went to talk to Emma. But I don't know if she went to visit him."

"Good for her."

"... Okay, I'll go out and go to Emma's house to talk to her. After that, I'll bring Noah over here to get you out of bed."

"You wouldn't do that."

"You doubt it?"

####

Sara who finished her conversation with Rose left the small wooden house that she had been using since she arrived in the village.

When they arrived, Sara soon found a problem, which was Rose's sadness and "guilt".

She got into a tremendous depression for having left her friend Ria behind, who was very close to her.

And a day or two after she arrived in the village she didn't leave her room anymore, forcing Sara to stay locked inside the house to take care of her.

When Noah arrived injured in the village, she didn't leave the house, but looked out the window and saw all the commotion. Rose also noticed all the noise outside but didn't know exactly what was going on.

And it was Sara who talked to her and told her everything.

After Rose learned of Noah's injuries, she got even worse and decided not to visit him.

Even though Eli, Taciane, and Ciaphia stopped by her house once to call her, she did not agree to go visit him.

Sara wanted to visit him but did not want to leave Rose alone.

Sara decided to stay at home together with Rose until she finally received the news from Eli and Taciane.

That Noah had been healed by four adventurers that had been brought by Lucio. Then she spoke directly to Rose about it, and for the first time, her daughter had smiled since she arrived.

But still, she remained locked inside the house, until the present moment.

"Oh, Sara, what happened?" As soon as Sara arrived near Emma's house, she was called by Rieli, who appeared wearing a hat and also a rather peculiar outfit.

And fortunately, she didn't seem to be worried about hiding the scar on her face.

"Did you become a farmer?"

"I guess so. My fun is tending the vegetable garden."

"I see."

"So how is Rose, is she feeling better?"

"She's still feeling guilty for not bringing Ria. I told her she wasn't supposed to feel that way, but..."

"I see. I honestly feel a little bad too for not having had the chance to bring her, but that would be impossible anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"Ria is married and has a small child. She would never accept leaving them behind."

"Got it."

"But I was surprised that Rose didn't even leave to visit Noah. She's very fond of him."

"And did you visit him?"

"I did not visit him while he was still unconscious. I just talked to Emma to see how he was doing. He didn't look good at all, but it's good to see he's recovered."

"Yes."

"Now I need to go. And good luck convincing Rose to leave the house."

"I am sure I will succeed."

####

Reaching the door, Sara knocked a few times and waited for someone to answer it.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Emma a little downcast looking at her.

'Was she crying or something?' Sara thought as she looked worriedly at Emma. 

"Did something happen to Noah?" Thinking it was something like that, Sara quickly asked.

"It's not that, I'm fine." But from inside the house, Noah's voice answered her. Hearing his voice, Sara sighed in relief.

After that, Emma just stepped out of the way and allowed Sara to enter the house. 

"Excuse me." She entered and found a rather unusual scene. The four adventurers who had come to help Noah were standing there as they looked at her.

They also seemed quite nervous and sad.

'I've never talked to them before, better not do anything weird.' Sara just nodded to them. The four also greeted her with a nod but remained silent.

Lucio was also standing next to the adventurers.

"How are you? And how is Rose?" He asked as smiled.

"Oh, I'm fine. Rose is still compromised staying locked in her room, but I'll be sure to get her out." Sara replied a bit clumsily.

After that, an awkward silence took over the place. Sara who was not feeling comfortable decided to open her mouth to say something.

"Did something happen?" She asked as she looked at Emma.

"Well... Something really bad happened, but I think it's best not to talk about it with you and the others right now." The one who answered Sara was Noah.

But Emma decided to interrupt.

"It's okay, it's okay that she knows. But promise you won't talk to anyone else, right? I intend to keep what's going on a secret for now."

"Oh, sure, don't worry." Sara looked quite worried and scared.

'Something very serious is going on.. Is it about the war?' She felt her hands grow cold.
