A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 171 - 170 - Help Is Here!

Returning to current times.

In the village, the atmosphere had improved a little but there was still concern that Noah would be okay. As the days went by he got a little better although he was still unconscious, so people were calmer.

Of course, only outsiders.

Emma, ??Lisandra, Lari, and the other girls who entered the house and were close to Noah couldn't stay calm.

Mostly Lari. She hasn't left Noah's side all this time, she doesn't even want to go out to shower.

She only went out to shower because Emma dragged her into the bathroom.

She also only ate because Emma forced her to eat. If it depended on her, she wouldn't have eaten anything.

But she was the girl acting the most extreme. Even though the others were worried, they still took care of themselves.

At the moment it was lunchtime and lunch was being prepared by Dala and Clachel. They helped prepare food and also keep the house organized while Emma stayed by Noah's side.

About two days ago when Noah was found, they got the news but preferred to stay home, but the next day they came to visit. And because of the state Emma was in, they volunteered to help.

Of course, Emma didn't deny their help.

So since yesterday, they were taking care of everyone's food and they were also taking care of the cleaning. Dala and Clachel were very happy to help as they were grateful that Emma had gotten them out of the capital before the attack.

"The lunch is ready?" Emma left the bedroom and arrived in the kitchen.

When she caught Dala and Clachel's attention, the two women stopped what they were doing and removed the apron they were wearing.

"It's almost ready. Clachel, go set the table." She gave the order to her daughter and then took a glass of water to drink.

"I don't think you need to set up the table, those girls will want to eat inside the bedroom."

"Ciaphia and the other two won't want to sit at the table?" Ciaphia, Taciane, and Eli were also in the bedroom. They talked to each other and also tried to cheer up Lisandra.

"I don't know, I'll ask them." Saying this Emma went to the bedroom and found all the girls.

Lisandra sat on the bed next to Noah as she remained silent. Lari beside Noah watching him with tears in her eyes and Ciaphia, Taciane, and Eli were sitting in chairs around the room as they talked.

They were chatting happily as they tried to include Lisandra in the conversation with stories from the past. But of course, Lisandra was ignoring and just paying attention to her brother beside her.

Haa~~

Seeing this, Ciaphia sighed and seemed to have given up.

"Oh, Emma." Then she noticed my presence inside the bedroom again.

"Are you guys going to have lunch here?"

"No, no need. I will go home immediately to prepare lunch." Taciane rose from her chair and looked worried.

"It's okay if you guys have lunch here. Dala seems to have made a lot of food. I just came here to ask if you are going to sit at the table or eat right here."

"I prefer to eat here." The first to respond was Ciaphia.

Soon after, it was Taciane and Eli's turn. The two girls also wanted to eat inside the bedroom with everyone. Emma's bedroom had turned into a dining room.

Another day passed, today is the third day of the trip. We left Geirseyri and our journey continued without too many problems.

The group of adventurers I had hired was quite competent. I didn't even have to hunt for food, they went after and got some wild animals quickly.

I had the opportunity to see them in battle, and I can say they are much stronger than I imagined. Mainly Riata and Carbrand. Speaking of which, they both used swords.

The only difference was that Carbrand's sword was long and Riata's sword was short. And Riata, too, could use magic, unlike Carbrand, who fought only with his brute strength.

And about the other two, they were also very competent.

Nalett used attack magic and also used a dagger to attack her enemies, we can say that she used a very common fighting style and she was very good at it.

Tomhe used only magic. He didn't seem to have the strength to hold a sword, nor was he agile enough to participate in a hand-to-hand fight.

He was the main mage of the group.

At a distance, he used attack magic for support and also used body reinforcement magic on his companions. And on top of that, he was able to use high-level healing magic.

He's a genius. He's very young, but he can use all kinds of magic.

"You guys are very strong." Carbrand was driving the carriage, so I was sitting in the back with everyone.

"Well, we're an almost A-rank group, I think it's normal to be so strong." Riata smiled at my statement.

"I understand. I was also a very strong adventurer, you know? But maybe you don't know about it since it's been a few years since I left this job."

"Hmm, I can't remember an adventurer named Lucio."

"Oh, I retired from that job too early. It's been almost 20 years since I left this job. I was working as an adventurer for just a few years with the woman who is now my wife."

"I understand. But you quit work for what reason?"

"My wife ended up getting pregnant with my first child so we decided to stop venturing out to take care of our family."

"How cute." Riata smiled happily upon hearing my story.

"Yes. But we were very lucky. As we did a lot of things and were a little famous, we were given land to build our house."

"Is this the same land you used to build your village?"

"That's right. First, it was just to be our house, but we decided to start building a village. A lot of people were attracted since the owners of the village were these amazing adventurers... You know how it is."

"I don't know how amazing you guys were, but I think I understand."

"Then the king, who for some reason is very close to my wife, gave me the title of Knight of the kingdom. I also won the knighthood, we can say that I am a low-ranking nobleman. To tell you the truth, I don't even know if knights can be considered noble."

"Hahaha… I understand. My father also won the same title but that's almost the same as nothing."

"It is not??? But I couldn't do anything but accept. And so I could also run the village and maintain it without any problems."

"And now you've been taking care of this village for years."

"Exactly. Nowadays I just prefer to take care of the village and things related to it while I take care of my family."

"Don't you think about venturing again?"

"No, no. I'm pretty old already, you know? And I don't want to risk dying now either. I have confidence that I'm strong, but even so, I don't want to take that risk."

"I understood. But I think you made a good choice. You're happy now, aren't you?"

"Very, I am very happy. I can take care of the people I love and I can also help other people in my village, it's an amazing feeling."

"If you're happy then I think it's okay."

"Yes..."

I ended this conversation with a satisfied smile. It's been a long time since I've talked about this with anyone, Riata is an amazing woman.

Carbrand, you have to give her a baby soon or someone else is going to steal her from you.

We were already approaching the village.

Along the way and through the forest in the distance, I could already tell that we were close. Looking across the plains I could see some animals and also in the distance I could see villages.

I was anxious as I thrashed inside the carriage.

The adventurers who noticed this seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"Calm down, we're almost there."

"I'm sorry, it's just been a few days I haven't seen him and I'm afraid his condition has gotten worse."

"I can understand, but try to calm down."

"I understood." I started to take a deep breath as I watched the landscape pass through the window. It lasted a few more minutes before the forest appeared and then the carriage stopped.

When I stuck my head out of the window, I noticed that we were already in front of the closed village gate.

Above I could see Valdo looking intently at the carriage that had approached.

"IT'S ME, I GOT HELP." I jumped out of the carriage and waved to Valdo. After a smile appeared on his face, the gate began to open allowing the carriage to enter.

The carriage entered with the adventurers and I walked in the back.

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by several greetings.

"So, did you find someone to help?" Valdo came down from the tower and was beside me along with other guards.

"Yes, I found a very good adventurer in healing magic."

"That's great!"

All the soldiers and villagers who heard this seemed happy and excited.. But I couldn't stay long, I asked one of the guards to guard the carriage and then I took the adventurers to my house.
