A Highest Rank in Another World!

When Noah appeared in his room, he emitted a very bright glow, drawing the attention of Lari who was standing outside the door.

She knocked a few times on the door and Noah realized that her return had been noticed.

'Damn, I wonder who that is? If it's my mom I'm going to be in big trouble.'

"It's me, Lari. May I come in?"

When Noah discovered that it was Lari and not his mother, he sighed with relief. He then allowed Lari to enter the bedroom.

"What happened to you? Your clothes are all dirty."

'Damn, it's because I helped Ciaphia.' 

"Nothing happened, I ended up working too hard today and my clothes got dirty." Noah tried to make up a lie, but Lari didn't believe him. She put her two hands on her waist and then faced Noah.

"Where were you? I saw that glow, it's the same glow that happened when you showed your teleportation magic to us."

'Damn...' Realizing that he had no way to hide this from Lari, he started talking about everything he had done.

"I see, so you went to the capital. It's a good thing you went to the capital and not to the middle of the forest again, isn't it? But you shouldn't do that anymore."

"Why not? Do I have to be "arrested" here in the village?"

"I don't mind you teleporting to the capital, but your mother will surely be annoyed. I don't want you to be grounded."

"Just don't talk to her about it."

"I won't. I'm just warning you that it's not good to be doing this."

"Okay, got it. I'll talk to my mom about it later, okay?"

"Okay."

"Now excuse me, I need to take a shower."

Noah got a new outfit and then went into the bathroom, but before he went in he asked Lari not to try to break into the bathroom.

A few months earlier.

In Beastled, a few miles from Southlein, inside the king's mansion.

"It's like they said, it's all empty and abandoned." The queen of the country who had previously been kicked out received information that the man who had stolen the country had been killed and his subordinates had disappeared.

Because of this, she decided to return to the mansion to see if it was true. And if it was true, she would resume her work.

Her husband was now dead, so she would have to keep everything alone just like the Queen of Southlein. Just her and her two little twin daughters.

"Mom, everything is so quiet, isn't there anyone here?" As they walked through the nostalgic halls of her mansion, the queen and the princesses wondered if there was a living person inside that mansion.

And there didn't seem to be. 

The only remaining guards inside the mansion were dead and were being removed by other guards hired by the queen. In addition, the maids that had previously been everywhere being gone.

"There doesn't seem to be any danger around here, I think we are safe. What do you think about moving back here? Do you guys think we'll be able to live here quietly?" The queen bent down and looked at the two princesses.

The two little girls looked at each other and then hugged the queen.

"I miss Daddy."

"I don't quite understand what you are talking about, but I will stay where Mommy wants to stay."

"I understand. Okay, let's prepare a room for the three of us to sleep together, okay? Starting tomorrow mommy will have a lot of work to do. And don't walk around the mansion too much."

"Okay!"

"All right, I'll stay by your side!"

The queen and the two princesses went to one of the rooms in the mansion and then washed in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, the remaining bodies of some guards who were killed by Meduz were removed and some maids were returning.

Many of them didn't want to come back after all that had happened, so the number of maids had decreased dramatically.

But it was enough to take care of one adult woman and two children.

Unlike Beastled, Southlein had already returned to the normal state.

In the castle, the queen as usual was taking care of some documents while the princess played along with Lett. She had been taking care of the princess since the king had died and the queen had taken over the country.

After a few more hours of work of the queen, Lett entered the room together with the princess. As she watched the two enter her room, the queen gave them both a big smile.

Especially for Lett, who was doing a great job.

Lett was a simple girl and also quite experienced in this kind of work, or so her family had said when she started working in the castle. The queen hadn't done much research into Lett's past, but she still trusted her a lot.

"Lett, how is Rumena doing? She's not giving you much trouble, is she?"

"She's acting as usual. She likes to jump and run and also play. I'm old now and I can't handle it anymore, hahaha."

"I can imagine that hahaha. I can't play at her pace either. You are a very stubborn girl, aren't you?" The queen held the princess' nose as she smiled.

The princess giggled happily as this happened.

Lett watched this quietly, without intruding on the intimate moment between mother and daughter.

'I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, I can't stand taking care of this child anymore.' She kept a smile on her face as she lamented.

But in her mind, a voice asked her to stay calm. She would just have to stay there a little longer, it wouldn't be long before she left.

[ Stay calm and endure all of this ].

'Okay. But if I can't I'll cut this child's head off.'

[ Don't do that. If you do something like that, you're sure to be killed. If you die, you know what happens, don't you? ]

"Tsk"

"What's wrong, Lett?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally bit my tongue."

"Be careful."

And so, two years passed.

Over time Beastled was getting back on its feet under the queen's rule and Southlein also expanded its rule, increasing the number of cities in the country by three.

After all this time the rivalry between the two countries disappeared and the half-animal men began to enter the human country. Of course, humans also began to travel to Beastled.

And in those two years, Lisandra, Ciaphia, and the other two girls had graduated from school and also started working as adventurers, forming a group that was called "Inseparable Friends." A simple and cute name.

Noah kept in touch with all his friends from the capital and also increased his training.

When Noah turned 14 years old, he was allowed to go out hunting accompanied by his mother and father. His mother allowed him to hunt alone only when he turned 15.

So in two years, he managed to climb a few levels and his strength increased.

But the biggest change that occurred after two years had passed was that Noah had finally become an adult.

Having spent two whole years living in the village, he had again become accustomed to living isolated and away from the big city.

So even entering adulthood, he had decided to live in the village a little longer even though his mother allowed him to go live in the capital and also allowed him to start working as an adventurer.

"I want to stay here a little longer, then I will move to the capital and start working as an adventurer."

"I see. I didn't want to allow you to leave, but you have grown enough to live your own life. In these last two years, you have grown more than you have in 14 years. Look at you." Emma said as she approached Noah.

Then she put her hand on his head.

"Before your head was hitting my breasts, now you are as tall as I am. I'd say you're about the same height as Ciaphia now, wouldn't you?"

"Probably. She hasn't grown any taller since then, hahaha."

"And I hope you won't grow anymore. You're only 15 and you already look like that, if you keep growing you'll turn into a monster."

"Don't exaggerate. But I wouldn't want to grow any more either, I'm at a very nice height. The amount of muscle is also excellent."

"Yes, you look beautiful." Emma hugged Noah and then pulled away.

"All right, I have to get back to work now. Are you going out hunting today?"

"Yes, I'm going out for a bit. Do you want me to bring something special for you?"

"No need, have fun. And when you go to visit Lisandra today, take something for her."

"I don't know if I'm going all the way to the capital today, but if I do I'll take it for her. What is it?"

"It's a pie I prepared in the morning, she likes that, so..."

"Ahahaha, don't worry, I will take it to her."

"All right, thanks."

"And you, take care. You're already getting old."

"I'm still quite young. I'm sure I could beat you in a fight right now."

"I'm sure of it too, you're frighteningly strong. To this day I can't understand how you are so strong."

"I train hard."

"Liar."

"It's a secret, now I have to go."

"See you later."
