A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 196 - 195 – Is This True?

[ What do you want to know? ]

I finally got an answer.

"I want to know how the war is going. Have we lost?" I asked this and waited apprehensively for the goddess's answer. And unfortunately, the answer I didn't want to see appeared in front of me.

[ Yes, Southlein lost. ]

Those words were enough to make me fall into bed without reaction.

'Has our country lost?' I was incredulous at the news I received. My heart started to race and my hands went cold, it was like I was having a panic attack.

'No, no, no, no... What happened? What happened to us? We lose the war?' I screamed in my mind and I felt my body shake and sweat pour down my face.

I have never been so nervous in my life.

[ Do you remember the armor who killed you? He and his brothers destroyed the entire army of Southlein, and after that...]

Without waiting for the conclusion of the goddess sentence, I screamed in my mind, 'I can't believe this shit! How could only a few armors be able to destroy such a huge army?! It makes no sense!'

I was trying to control myself, but my feelings were out of control. It's been a while since I've felt that way.

[ You know the strength of that armor, you know very well that only normal soldiers could not beat them. ]

'It's true... They are so fucking strong. DAMN!' I punched the bed with all my strength and then saw sweat falling onto the bed sheet as I shivered. It's all over.

Our country was destroyed, we just haven't received the information yet.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing here, it can't be true, I refuse to believe all this shit.

[ Wait, no need to get so desperate. ]

'What? How do you expect me not to get desperate in this situation? Do you have any idea how serious the situation is? My country, my friends, was all destroyed!'

[ Aren't you exaggerating? I said Southlein lost the war, but I didn't say the capital was destroyed. Just one city was destroyed and is not the capital. ]

'So a city was destroyed. But I don't care, what happened after the army was destroyed, how is the capital?' I asked quickly. If I saw my face now, I would see the face of someone desperate.

[ The capital is not in the best state. ]

'Tell me soon!'

[ Right, right. After the army was destroyed, the armors went directly to the capital, and unfortunately managed to invade and kill thousands of people. ]

''…thousands of people.'' An image of the faces of all the people I'd met in the capital flashed through my mind. And I was also very grateful that my closest friends were in the village.

[ Although many people died, the armors were destroyed. But unfortunately, I'm not telling who destroyed them, it's my secret and that person's secret. ]

'I don't care who destroyed the armors, I just need to know if everything is okay now, and I also want to know if my friends are okay'

[ Everything is fine now, the capital is recovering. ]

'And my friends?'

'Reply!'

'Don't leave me talking to myself, you stupid goddess!!!'

####

After the goddess suddenly disappeared, I lay down on the bed not believing what was happening. I wanted to run out of the bedroom and tell everyone what I had just heard.

They don't know about it, they have no idea that we lost the war and the capital was attacked.

'Damn it, what do I do?' From what the goddess said, should be okay now, I need to calm down. Calm down, just think about what to do from now on.

'Aaaahh' I can't think what to do, damn, damn, damn!

I jumped out of bed and then took off the shirt I was wearing. I was completely sweaty. I've never been this nervous since I was born into this world, I need to calm down.

"Oops." Feeling my body go a little limp, I lost strength in my legs and fell to the wooden floor, causing a loud thud.

I felt my body without strength.

"Noah?!" And a few seconds later after I hit the ground, I heard Lisandra's voice.

The door suddenly opened.

"Noah? What happened? Are you okay? MOM, MOM!" Lisandra who looked extremely desperate held my head and then tried to get me up while hugging me.

"What's it? What happened?" And right after that, my mother arrived in the bedroom along with Lari. When she saw me, her expression turned pale, but then she regained her composure and ran to me.

"Stand back a little." She pushed Lisandra away and held me in her lap, then placed me on my bed.

"Thanks." I thanked her as I breathed a little uneven.

"What are you feeling?" She walked over to me and placed her hand on my forehead.

"Do you have a fever." She was extremely nervous, I felt her hand shaking.

"Don't worry, I just felt my body go limp and I ended up falling," I said as I felt my body getting hotter.

"Don't talk anymore. Lisandra, go get help immediately." My mom was pale-faced. She looked at me and ran her hand over my head.

I felt her hand trembling, and that made me extremely sad.

What do I do?

I have never seen my mother so worried before.

And Lari, she already started crying. She never looked at me that way.

'But I can't do anything, I can't just pretend I'm fine.'

####

Lisandra ran out of the house quickly in the middle of the night as she screamed for help. But apparently, she ended up finding my dad, and he ran to the house where the adventurers were staying.

Within minutes the 4 adventurers appeared in my room.

The first to approach was the girl named Riata.

My mom pulled away and Riata placed her hand on my forehead.

"He has a high fever." She said while looking worried. The man named Carbrand beside her was also looking at me with concern.

I could also see the girl named Nalett looking at me in surprise and also with concern in her eyes. But the most desperate person among the 4 adventurers was the boy named Tomhe.

He was shaking as he watched me and held his magic staff.

"I'm fine guys, I just need to rest now." I couldn't get up, and I was also having trouble speaking.

"No, you need treatment. Tomhe, can you do something?" Riata looked at the boy, but he didn't seem to know what to do. He looked at me and bit his lip, then made a suggestion.

"I can try, but I think I'd better make him some tea. I have some herbs with me that are very good."

"But do you have any idea what he has?"

"If I had to say... It looks like your blood pressure has dropped from some kind of nervousness or anxiety attack, so your body is out of strength."

"A nervousness or anxiety attack? But why?" My mom looked extremely confused about this.

"It's nothing serious, he just needs some tea to calm down and he needs to rest. I think he'll be fine if we do that."

"You think?" My mother looked extremely nervous, and this made Tomhe a little scared. Seeing this, the girl named Riata decided to interfere to help Tomhe.

"Calm down. He's really good when it comes to treatments like this, you can trust him." Hearing this, my mother decided not to speak to Tomhe anymore, letting him do what he wanted.

But even so, she didn't look calm anymore.

She soon came to my side and crouched down beside my bed. She held my hand and I could see tears forming in her eyes.

"It's gonna be okay? Okay?" She pulled my hand away and then kissed it.

####

Tomhe left the bedroom to go to get some herbs.

The herbs were used to make a green tea that was given to me by my mother. She had been by my side the whole time along with Lari and Lisandra, who had prepared the tea was Riata.

After it was brewed, the tea was delivered to my mother and I drank it.

It wasn't a bad taste, it was really sweet tea. But it was really hot, so my mouth burned a little.

"Alright, now you need to sleep. Tomorrow we'll come here to see how you are. Try to recover, okay?" Riata smiled at me.

Then the adventurers said their goodbyes. In my room were only my mother, Lisandra, and Lari. My dad had gone out to take the adventurers out and also to thank them for what they're doing.

"Here, rest well." My mom grabbed a blanket and covered my body. Then she continued to pat my head.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling. It didn't take me long to fall asleep.

Thank you for caring so much about me.
