A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 276 - 275 - A Child Can't Use That Kind Of Magic, Can He?

Watching everyone leave, Noah felt very discouraged, but nothing could be done.

His mother beside him put her hand on his head.

"Don't worry, I will let you go back to the capital at some point."

"At some point?" 

Noah looked at Emma and she smiled.

'Is she kidding me?' Annoyed, Noah turned away from his mother and went inside the village again. Lucio tried to call him, but Emma stopped him.

"Let him go."

"He'll end up getting angry with you."

"It doesn't matter."

"Are you sure? If he ends up getting angry with you, you'll end up being ignored and feeling lonely again."

"Stop saying unnecessary things."

The villagers around seemed to be having fun with it. They were able to figure out Emma's real reason for keeping Noah by her side, and that sure was cute.

"All right, let's get back to work. I'll keep you guys posted on their trip, as soon as they get to the capital I'll tell everyone about it."

"Okay, thanks for that."

"I'd be worried if I didn't get any news."

"Thanks, Emma."

Everyone went inside and the gate was closed. 

####

"Damn, I'm pissed off right now." Noah had gone back to his house.

When he got to his room, he slammed the door and then punched his bed a few times. 

After that, he threw himself on the bed and started to roll over and make some strange sounds, just like a child would. Noah realized that the way he was acting was quite childish, so he remembered what Isadora said.

'Am I acting childish? But I try to act as mature as possible. Maybe being reborn as a child has messed with my mind?'

He didn't know if it could affect him, but he don't care either.

Being a child, it's okay for him to act childish, isn't it? Acting responsibly and maturely all the time would make the people around him uncomfortable.

"Ah, goddess, are you there?"

[ Yes, I'm here ]

"Can't you use teleportation magic in a shorter time interval? I want to visit everyone when they get to the capital."

[ I can try. ]

"Try?"

[ Yes, if it doesn't work out you will have to stay in the capital for a whole day before returning. ]

"I see, I think it's worth the risk. My mother will want to kill me, but whatever."

[ You're not afraid of danger, are you? ]

"If I was afraid I wouldn't have died three times."

[ I guess that makes sense ]

####

A week passed, today would be the day that the carriages would be arriving in the capital. Noah heard that from Isadora.

They were a few hours away from the capital and it had been a fairly uneventful trip.

Having someone to watch his friends and inform him made Noah feel quite "important". But that didn't matter to him, what mattered was being able to help his sister and her friends if they were in trouble.

"When they are fairly close to the capital, let me know. I want to teleport there when they are arriving."

[ Okay. ]

Noah continued working in the village with his father as he anxiously awaited the moment he would teleport to the capital.

####

Inside one of the carriages, Eli, Taciane, Ciaphia, and Lisandra were sitting together with two adventurers.

A man and a woman.

The man's name was Dinax and the woman's name was Fiorre. They were part of the group "The four knights of the phoenix" A B-rank group quite well known in some towns in Southlein.

"So, what did you guys think of the trip?" Dinax asked while smiling. He was quite kind and cheerful, so they all liked him.

"It was more fun than I thought it would be, but I wish Noah was here along with me." Ciaphia pouted and then looked out the carriage window.

"I'm sure you'll find him when you least expect it," Fiorre said to calm CIaphia down.

Eli and Taciane started to laugh, but after seeing that her friend was feeling bad, the two decided to support her.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Noah will suddenly appear inside your room at some point."

"Yeah." Eli agreed to that.

The two adventurers smiled bitterly at that statement. 

After that, the journey continued. After a few hours had passed, they took a break for lunch.

The two carriages stopped and everyone gathered at the side of the road to set up camp.

The other two adventurers in the group named Choru and Mell would take care of the food hunt, while the other two adventurers who were together with Ciaphia and the others would take care of the campfire.

Ciaphia and the others offered to help, but they refused.

"We are the escort and we promised Emma that we would take the best possible care of you guys, we cannot let you put yourselves in danger." That's what Dinax said.

But he forgot one important detail.

The entire group of adventurers was leaving and was leaving everyone else alone. 

That would already put them in danger, wouldn't it?

####

Without any surprises, the lunch was over they went back to the carriages to continue their journey.

"We're almost there!" Dinax shouted happily as he got into the carriage along with Fiorre, Ciaphia, and the others. 

The rest of the people got into the second carriage and the two carriages began to move.

And so two hours passed.

Ciaphia stuck her head out of the carriage and could see the capital wall in the distance. She shouted to warn everyone that the capital was already arriving.

At the same time, something happened.

"What?"

Inside the carriage that Ciaphia was in, a magic-like white glow appeared. When this occurred, everyone inside the carriage started screaming and the frightened horses started neighing.

Dinax and Fiorre couldn't see, but they readied their weapons and then jumped out of the carriage.

"JUMP OUT OF THE CARRIAGE!" Dinax shouted in despair not knowing what to do.

Then everyone started jumping out of the carriage.

Eli, Taciane, Lisandra all jumped out except Ciaphia.

The glow continued, so no one could see inside the carriage. Dinax started to get even more desperate when he noticed that Ciaphia was not coming out and also not replying.

Lisandra and the others also started shouting for Ciaphia, but she didn't answer.

Inside the other carriage, everyone was confused about what was happening. Dinax and Fiorre's companions came out of the carriage and asked the others to stay inside.

They approached and then Choru volunteered to help.

Ignoring the glare and the warnings of his friends, he advanced toward the carriage and jumped inside.

He had his eyes closed as he tried to touch Ciaphia somehow, but he touched someone else instead.

He touched someone's head. It was short hair, so it couldn't be Ciaphia since he knew her appearance. And the person he touched was very short.

"Who?!" After his question, the glow began to diminish.

When the glow disappeared, Choru realized that he was squeezing Noah's head.

"Could you stop squeezing my head? That hurts a little." Noah created a little lie, he felt no pain.

But Choru believed him and put his hand away.

"And what do you think you were doing? What if you had touched my girlfriend? I wouldn't forgive you."

Ciaphia was hugging Noah. Choru had narrowly missed grabbing Ciaphia's chest.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that." Choru looked nervous and at the same time confused.

He began to think about what had happened, but could not come to any conclusion. Stunned, he stepped out of the carriage and let his friends approach.

Dinax, Fiorre, and Mell saw Noah cuddled together with Ciaphia. Noah was wearing a smile and Ciaphia was so happy that she was almost "crushing" Noah in her arms.

"What are you doing here? I don't understand... How?" Dinax and the others knew Noah, so he had been so confused that his brain had started to hurt.

The others were acting the same way, too, and it amused Noah.

"I don't have to explain, do I?" Noah was trying to push Ciaphia away from him, but she wouldn't let him go. It was almost a comedy scene.

"Wait, could it be... That?" Mell who was the mage of the group suddenly widened her eyes.

"What? That what?"

"That... Teleportation magic, that magic that is a legend."

"No, it can't be. That child can't know how to use that magic, can?" Dinax asked Noah. He was nervous, he couldn't believe it, it was crazy all that.

And to end his sanity, Noah remained silent, practically confirming Dinax's doubts.

"It can't be!!! My Goddess!" Dinax shouted upwards to the sky, not believing that insanity was real.

Unlike him, Mell soon jumped into the carriage and began to analyze Noah. As well as starting to ask him several questions.

And Fiorre was like Dinax, but she was completely paralyzed.. It was as if her life had been a lie until now.
