A Highest Rank in Another World!

Lisandra had just found out that I had become an adventurer. She ran out of the bedroom and I didn't have the courage to run after her to try and say something. It was useless to do something like that.

So I removed my clothes and took a shower. When I got out of the bath, Lisandra still wasn't there, she seemed really pissed off at me this time, and for sure she would do talk with our mom about it.

"Damn it, I'm dead." Just remembering how our mom looks when she's pissed off was enough for me to immediately regret this choice I'd made.

"And she even took my license." She didn't even give it back to me. I also think she won't give me my license back anytime soon.

So since there was nothing to be done now, and I was also very hungry, I went down to the main hall of the inn for dinner. As soon as I got there, I noticed Lisandra sitting at one of the tables.

She already looked like she was done eating because of the empty plate in front of her.

As soon as she saw me, she got up and walked past me, going into the bedroom without talking to me. She's acting just like a kid now, it seems her mindset hasn't evolved at all.

Haa~~

I sighed and walked to one of the tables. I was up there a long time, so by now it was late and there weren't many people here, if I had taken longer maybe I would have missed dinner.

As soon as I sat down, Sara approached me.

"Will you want to have dinner now? Your sister has already finished dinner, she seemed quite upset with you."

"I know."

"Why did you lie to her? You know she's going to call your mother now, don't you? She was really willing to do that."

"I know that too, I can't do anything about it, now I just have to wait."

"I see, wait here, I'll bring you dinner."

"Thanks."

As I expected, Lisandra would tell our mother. Well, I was pretty sure she wouldn't give up on doing that, so I wasn't too surprised about it.

I'm not surprised, but I'm very sad.

After a while, Sara brought me dinner and I ate slowly as I thought about what might happen from now on. Without my license, I couldn't go back to the guild or even leave town.

I couldn't run away from my mother's wrath, and I sure as hell couldn't try to stop Lisandra to talk with our mom. The way she is now, even if I beg her, she won't let go of that idea.

"But that's okay, now I can just wait." I finished eating and went upstairs.

When I entered the bedroom, Lisandra was lying down and was under her blanket, she was covering up to her head.

"Lisandra, I'm sorry." I knew she didn't sleep that quickly or this early, so she was probably awake and must have heard this. After saying those words, I also lay down.

####

I woke up the next day and remembered what happened before I could sleep.

"I'm sorry…" He said that, but it's too late now, you idiot!

As it was a school day, I had to go to school with Noah, but he didn't try to talk to me, and neither did I try to say something. It was like we were walking together just out of obligation.

I felt a little bad about it, but I also didn't do anything to change it, I decided to pretend I was still really angry with him.

'Well, I can't deny that I'm angry, but I'm really sad.' I entered the school and then we parted ways.

"So what happened yesterday?" As soon as Noah walked away, I found Ciaphia standing right next to our classroom. She was looking at me with concern.

"I only talked to Noah a little bit, and I ended up slapping him in the face as well."

"YOU WHAT?"

"Shhh, keep it down. I also regret doing that, but that's because I was so angry at the time. And when he apologized to me last night, I started to feel even worse."

"But did you accept his apology?"

"No, I was pretending to be asleep and I didn't say anything."

"You idiot..."

"What can I do? I'm really angry with him you know? He's been lying to me all this time."

"What did he do, did he really join the guild?"

"Yeah, remember I told you he was thinking about leaving school? He tricked me and was working as an adventurer while going to school."

"I see, what an idiot. He could have just talked to you or your mom about it."

"He said he would do it, but he didn't! Now, do you understand why I'm so angry with him?"

"Sure."

"Now I need to talk to the director. I need to go to the adventurers' guild to text our mom about this."

"Are you really going to do this?"

"Of course, I told him that if he did something like that I would talk to our mother."

"You look sad."

"But I'm sad! Maybe our mother will take Noah to the village again because of that, then I'll stay here alone." I was feeling really bad now and Ciaphia seemed to have noticed it, so she started trying to cheer me up.

She was saying things like "It's going to be all right." or "Think positive, maybe your mom will accept Noah's job and he'll continue to live with you."

Well, I didn't really believe that was possible, our mom is very strict, she won't ignore all of this and just leave Noah working like an adventurer.

She didn't even let him go to the forest alone beside the village.

"Okay, I'm going there to talk to the principal now, will you talk with the teacher for me?"

"Okay, and don't be so sad, I'm sure everything will be fine. You're doing this for his sake, aren't you?"

"Yes, I don't want him to get involved in dangerous things."

"So since it's for his own good it's okay. Since he didn't ask you not to call your mother, I think he must have understood that." Ciaphia said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll come back today maybe." After saying that, I went to the principal's office quickly.

Arriving there I met Nita who was a very nice woman who worked here at the school. As soon as I spoke to her, she said that I could leave and that she would let the director know about it, it was a lot easier than I thought.

So I left school and went to the adventurer guild.

"Oh, aren't you Noah's sister? Shouldn't you be at school?" Sara's daughter Rose greeted me with a smile on her face.

There were few people here, but even so, the atmosphere was very lively. Everyone was talking about that dungeon that had appeared some time ago.

"Yes, I would like you to send a message to my mother, you should already know why, don't you?" I looked seriously at Rose.

"Urg." She seemed to have noticed and grabbed a paper and pen.

"Write there that she needs to come to the capital. Also write that Noah started working as an adventurer hidden from me, ignoring what she had said, and also what I had said. Don't forget to say that he wants to leave school too."

"Right."

"You already know where to send the letter, don't you?"

"Of course... I have in my records the mission from that day you arrived."

"Then fine. Now, why didn't you tell me Noah had started working as an adventurer? You are my friend, no?"

"Noah asked me not to talk, so I didn't."

"..."

"I also tried to get him to give up on that idea, okay? But even so, he decided to join the guild, and I couldn't stop him, I'm just following rules."

"I know it's not your fault, now I need to go back to school."

"Okay…Lisandra, you look upset."

"Of course I am, in addition to lying to me, there is still a risk of Noah being taken away, how can I be happy in this situation?"

"..." Rose didn't say anything, so I left the guild behind and decided to go back to school. I was still carrying my school supplies and I had only been here for a short time, it was much faster than I imagined.

'Oh, I feel really bad now.' I had done that, I had texted our mother, she will surely be very angry.

Maybe I should have just stopped him from going on missions? No, I have to get on with this, I told myself yesterday that I would act like a responsible sister!

But this is boring, being responsible is very boring.

Now I just need to wait for our mom to get here, and try to keep Noah from being taken away from the capital.

"If he doesn't want to stay in school, there's no reason for him to stay here.." Surely that's what our mother will say.
