A Highest Rank in Another World!

After entering the house, Lucio approached Noah and hugged him while celebrating his return. But soon after, he bent down and looked into Noah's eyes.

After sighing, Lucio placed his hands on Noah's shoulder.

"So, may I know where you were?" Lucio was silent and waited for Noah to answer, but Noah just looked at his mother for a moment. After doing so, Emma approached him.

"What is it?" She asked as she approached.

"Can I talk to you alone?"

"Will you tell me everything that happened?"

"Yes, I will."

"Okay... Is it okay if I talk to him alone, Lucio?" After Emma's question, Lucio stood up and then looked at her and Noah.

"If that's what he wants, there's nothing I can do. But make sure you tell your mother everything, okay? I'll go talk to the villagers to calm them down."

"Are they worried about me?"

"Of course, you're an important person to them."

"Is it serious?"

"Yes, you have done a lot to help them, they are very grateful to you."

"Is it serious?"

"Do you doubt?"

"No, of course not, I'm just surprised."

"Last time they were also very worried about you."

"I see..."

"All right, now enough talk, let's go to my room." Emma held did Noah's hand and then pulled him into her room.

Everyone remained in the living room waiting for the two to return.

"When Noah comes back I'll make him tell me everything that happened," Ciaphia said confidently, making everyone around stare at her.

After they entered the bedroom, Noah stood facing Emma and was silent.

Emma crossed her arms and stood still waiting for Noah to start talking.

A few seconds passed before he started to speak.

"First I have to talk because I disappeared, right?"

"Yes, later I want you to tell me how it happened."

"Right." Noah nodded.

'I guess I can lie a little. I don't want to talk about I have contact with a Goddess.' 

After clearing his throat, Noah began to tell Emma what had happened.

"I received information that a demon was heading towards the capital after a friend of mine, so I went to help her."

"A demon?"

"That's right, it was a powerful demon, I had trouble killing her."

"What kind of demon was it?"

"It was a humanoid demon that had the appearance of a pretty girl."

"I see... It's been a long time since I've seen a humanoid-type demon." Emma put her hand on her chin and started thinking about some things, then she decided to ask about Noah's friend.

"She's a classmate of mine. I became very good friends with her in the days I went to school. I got a letter from her and she asked me for help, so I went to the capital quickly."

"Right, I can understand that. It was probably a friend you like very much and you decided to help...But I can't imagine how you did it. The capital is very far from here, how did you get there in just one day?"

"Teleportation magic."

Hearing Noah's statement, both of Emma's eyebrows rose. She then looked at Noah suspiciously.

"Teleportation magic?"

"That's right. I used it to get to the capital in an instant and then used it to get back to the bathroom."

"It's fine that you suddenly disappeared, but this is absurd. You're kidding me and you're hiding something, aren't you? "

"It's not a lie, do you want me to show you my magic?

"If possible I'd like to see it. I've never seen anyone use this magic before and I can't believe that my son can use it."

"Have you ever heard about this magic before?"

"Yes, but it is very rare magic, it is almost a legend. Only old mages close to death who have studied for years have this magic. And even then they can't teleport as far away as you can."

"I see..." Realizing how absurd teleportation magic was, Noah began to regret talking about it with his mother. But still, he didn't change the story.

The story was as:

Noah received a letter from a friend who was being chased by a demon, and he used teleportation magic to get there in an instant and help her.

"I still can't believe it... I don't remember you getting a letter. And why was your friend being chased by a demon? There are a lot of holes in that story." Emma thought for a moment.

Then she looked at Noah again.

"You're not hiding anything from me, are you?"

"I'm not, it's the truth."

"Okay, then tell me why your friend was being persecuted ."

"If I tell you, you won't believe me." Noah tried to buy some time to think of something.

"Maybe I will believe you, come on, start talking."

"Okay." Thinking some more, he began to speak what came into his mind.

"She's a girl who works for the church and has had some trouble with demons in the past. She has high-level holy magic and is being targeted by a group of demons."

"I see... A child who is still in school is being targeted by a group of demons."

"It's true, or that's what she told me. I don't know exactly how real her story is either, I just helped her." Noah lowered his head and then swallowed his saliva.

"I see. Now, what can you do to prove to me that everything you said is true?"

"I said before that I will show you teleportation magic. If I show you, will you believe me?"

"I will partially believe you."

"Partially?"

"That's right. I will believe that you used teleportation magic to disappear, but in return, I can't believe the story about your friend being persecuted by a demon."

"But it's the truth."

"You could have used that magic to go somewhere else and do something else, couldn't you?"

"Why would I lie to you? I know how dangerous that is."

"..."

Noah and his mother looked at each other for a while. Then Emma approached, making Noah hold his breath.

But as she approached, Emma merely placed her hand on Noah's head.

"What matters is that you're okay." She smiled and then removed her hand from Noah's head.

"Mom..."

"But now show me your teleportation magic."

"Now?"

"That's right."

'Isadora, can you use your magic to teleport me somewhere?'

[ I just did that, I won't be able to do it again until tomorrow ].

"I can only show you tomorrow. That magic only works once a day, because of it I took a whole day to get back." Noah smiled at his mother.

After sighing, Emma turned to leave the bedroom.

"Okay. I'll go talk to your father and explain what happened."

"Wait, I wanted to talk to you alone precisely so that the others won't know."

"Don't worry, the information that you can use teleportation magic will not spread."

"..."

Still worried, Noah watched his mother leave the room.

'Haaa~~ I think I managed to fool her, but I would rather not have told her about the teleportation and the demon.'

####

After Noah arrived, the villagers calmed down.

Noah spent some time talking to everyone in the living room, but after feeling a little tired, he said goodbye and went to his room to sleep.

He didn't even take a shower, he went straight to bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he went to the table and had breakfast. During the entire breakfast, he continued to be stared at by everyone, especially Emma.

This caused him some discomfort.

"What is it?" He asked as he looked at the faces of everyone sitting at the table.

"It's nothing," Emma said as she put some food in her mouth.

Then his father finished chewing and drank some tea.

"Your mother was telling everyone why you disappeared yesterday."

"Mom!" Hearing this, Noah stood up and slammed both his hands on the table.

"I told you not to talk about it with everyone."

"But I am not telling everybody. I'm telling it only to your father, Lari, and Lisandra."

"..."

"We are all a family, I told them not to talk about your teleportation magic to others." 

"Still..."

"Is it true that you can use teleportation magic? That's amazing." Lisandra smiled at Noah. 

"I always thought you were talented, but not at this level," Lari said looking happy and proud.

"It's true, I didn't think my son would be able to use magic like that. This is absurd. I even feel sad."

"Why?"

"My son is more talented than I am."

"You should be proud of him for that. But he hasn't proven to me yet that he can use teleportation magic, so don't get so excited."

"..."

"Wait a little longer and I'll show you all."

"I'm looking forward to it." Said Lisandra excitedly. 

"I'm looking forward to it too," Lari said.

Emma and Lucio were silent but continued to look at Noah suspicious of the veracity of Noah's words.

'Isadora, can't you do this now?' 

[ Only at night. ]

'Will I have to stay all day being "charged" by my own family?'

[ I can't do anything about it. ]
