A Highest Rank in Another World!

The next day Noah went to Emma's room.

When he arrived he found Emma going through the closet, apparently looking for something. After Noah entered the room, she stopped fiddling with the closet and turned to look at him looking a little nervous.

"What is it?"

"I just wanted to talk to you about yesterday."

"Oh..." Realizing the reason behind the conversation, Emma cleared her throat and then walked past Noah.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom, after I leave we'll talk."

"Sure..."

Noah didn't mind, he walked to the living room and sat down to wait for Emma. After waiting for long minutes, his mother still hadn't returned, which made him go to the bathroom to see if everything was okay.

'Maybe she has a tummy ache.' He gave the door a few knocks, but his mother didn't answer.

Because of this, he started to get worried.

"Mom? Are you okay?" After her question, Noah could hear some strange sounds inside the bathroom.

'What is this?' Because of this, his worry reached the limit, which made him use his strength to force open the door. Maybe his mother would kill him for that, but he didn't think about it.

Break~~

With his strength, the lock on the door broke and it opened. It was the second time that door was broken in an interval of a few days.

"What?" After the door opened, Emma in surprise looked at Noah.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Emma lowered down with her face in a bucket was not a scene Noah was expecting to see.

"I'm feeling a little bad, that's all." Emma stood up and left the bucket on the floor. After that, she left the bathroom walking slowly not caring about the broken door.

Noah approached the bucket and looked inside. There, there was a large amount of vomit in it.

It was disgusting.

'Hmm..' Noah seemed to have understood what was going on.

'Surely this is it. Is she hiding it or does she still not believe in that possibility?' Noah put a smile on his face and then left the bathroom.

Arriving in the living room, Noah found his mother lying on the couch with closed eyes as she sweated.

"Are you feeling nauseous?"

"That's right. I guess the food yesterday didn't do me much good."

"Are you sure that's it?"

"What do you mean?" Emma opened her eyes and looked at Noah. He was standing beside the couch as he smiled at Emma. Seeing this she immediately widened her eyes and stood up.

"Don't think about it, don't... It can't be that, right?" Emma swallowed her saliva and then placed her hand on her stomach. After doing so, she felt nauseous again and ran to the bathroom.

Noah followed her and stopped in front of the bathroom.

"I think that's it..." He gave another smile.

"No, don't say anything else." Emma vomited once more into the bucket. Since Noah didn't want to watch that disgusting scene, he went into the living room and waited until Emma came back.

"No way," Emma said looking dejected.

She then threw herself down on the couch.

"Yes, I think you are pregnant."

"No, it can't be, Lucio and I... It's been a while since we did this."

"It takes a while for the signs of pregnancy to show up. Or maybe you've been getting food poisoning."

"I'd prefer it to be food poisoning."

"Why, don't you want to have another child? I'd be happy to have a brother or sister."

"It's not that, it's just... I don't like going through the pregnancy period, I've always had too many problems."

"I understand."

"But if I'm pregnant." Emma put her hand on her belly and without realizing it ended up smiling.

"You are smiling."

"No, I'm not."

"Hahaha. Have you talked to Lisandra and my father?"

"No. And you, don't say anything yet. I'll only say when I'm sure I'm pregnant."

"And how will you be sure?"

"Only time will tell. I've been through this before, I can understand."

"I see..."

"And you, do you wish I was pregnant?"

"Absolutely! Having a little brother would be amazing."

"But it could be a girl."

"It would be just as amazing."

"Hahaha." Emma smiled and then placed her hand on Noah's head.

And right after that, nausea returned.

'If she throws up that much she'll end up being dehydrated... I wonder if she's pregnant. I'm excited.'

A day passed and Meduz was still inside her room thinking about what she should do.

"It wasn't supposed to be a hard decision, why am I taking so long to answer?" She rolled over in her bed like a child and then jumped out of her bed and almost fell to the floor.

"Sometimes I forget that I'm back to my real appearance. I liked the way I looked before, being tall was so nice." She said a little upset.

"Right, but now I need to answer to my master. I think I've decided what I want to do. I just hope I don't regret it later."

Meduz opened the door and then walked down the hall to the meeting room, which was the place where Hades stayed most of his day. Whether it was to tidy up documents, talk to someone, or even to rest.

As soon as she approached, Meduz knocked on the door a few times.

"Who is it? I'm busy." Listening to Hades' voice, Meduz felt his body tremble.

"It's me, Meduz. I've come to give my answer on that matter."

"Ah, it's you Meduz. You can come in, don't be shy."

With Hades' permission, Meduz opened the door and timidly entered the room.

"You may take a seat."

Meduz walked over to the chair and climbed up. After that, she sat down.

"Forget what I said, you can stand. That way I can see your beautiful face."

"I don't deserve such praise." Ashamed, Meduz stood up and then looked at Hades.

"So, what did you decide?"

"Well, I've given it a lot of thought. I have the desire to get revenge, but..."

"I know, you decided to stay in the castle to stand by me?"

"Ah...." Starting to get nervous for fear of "betraying" Hades' feelings, she paled. Seconds later Hades started to laugh.

"I'm only joking. If I had to say, you decided to go to Zeus' world, I'm right?"

"... That's it, that's right. I decided to go there and evolve my skills."

"I see, that's a good choice. All right, when you are ready to go just let me know and I will send you there."

"All right, I can go now."

"You don't have to prepare?"

"No, not at all. The only thing I ask is that you keep me informed about your sister's subordinate."

"It won't be easy since my only subordinate has no contact with him."

"I understand..."

"But I will try my best to keep you informed. Whenever that boy is in the capital I will analyze him. Unfortunately, I don't plan to send any more subordinates there, otherwise, I would send one just for that purpose."

"No, you don't need to do that. I think I am already overdoing my requests."

"You know I don't mind."

"Hmm..."

"Right, I'll send you now, are you ready? Be careful, it's a pretty dangerous place."

"All right." Meduz swallowed his saliva and then his body began to glow.

"I will keep in touch with you, so don't worry."

"Thank you, master, I love you."

"I love you too, Meduz, see you later." Waving, Hades said goodbye and Meduz disappeared.

After only a few seconds, Meduz felt a gentle breeze hit her skin.

It was a cold breeze that made Meduz's body shiver.

"How cold! Where am I?" Looking around, Meduz could see nothing but snow. 

Taking only one step forward, Meduz almost fell into a hole that suddenly appeared in front of her after the snow crumbled. 

"I feel like I'm in a dangerous place. Hey, master, couldn't you have sent me to a better place?"

[ This is the best place to put you, the monsters that live there are not that strong. ]

"Are you sure? What if a giant snow bear appears here? How will I survive?"

[ Believe me, you won't find anything like that. You have to be careful with the environment, which is very hostile. There are many holes and precipices, after all, you are on top of a mountain covered with snow. ]

"I see."

[ Now I need to get back to work, good luck. ]

"..."

After Hades disappeared, Meduz looked around once more.

She could see nothing but snow everywhere she looked. In addition, the fog or clouds hanging around hindered her vision, not letting her see what was in front of her very well.

"Walking around here will be a challenge, but I think I can manage. My feet are already freezing, I need to move." 

Meduz's feet had already gotten wet.

"Okay, I'll use fire magic to melt the snow, I think that's a good idea."

[ I forgot to warn you. Don't use fire magic lest you end up causing a sudden avalanche. See you later. ]

"Is it serious?"
