A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 173 - 172 - Was He Cured?



Tomhe who heard those words took a deep breath as he calmed down.

I watched that scene closely together with Emma. She was still hugging me while her body shook.

I managed not to get too nervous so I could support her. Emma can be very sensitive to some things, and one of those things is our kids' safety. It's always been that way.

An overprotective and caring mother, it's understandable why she's in this state.

"Fine, I'll try," Tomhe said and then moved to the other side of the bed to be closer to Noah. Lari, who was there, for the first time, pulled back a little to make room for Tomhe.

"You can do it, I'm sure of it," Carbrand said to cheer him up.

"You're not helping, be quiet because you're just making me more nervous." He said as he looked at Carbrand. The man just smiled and then backed away a little while he remained silent.

I also remained silent and watched that scene with everyone.

Tomhe took off the blanket that covered Noah and then placed his right hand on top of Noah's chest. He took the staff he held in his left hand and raised it as he closed his eyes.

"Do you think he can make it?" Emma beside me said quietly so no one would hear.

"I'm told he's very good at healing magic, I think he can do it." I put my hand on Emma's head and petted her as she buried her face in my chest.

I looked at Tomhe again and he kept his eyes closed as he raised his staff and placed his right hand on Noah's chest. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and his mouth started to move.

He said a few words low enough for no one to hear. Reading his lips I didn't know exactly what he was saying, but it's probably an incantation used by practitioners of healing magic.

As he continued to speak, the purple yolk of his staff began to glow. It wasn't such a bright glow, but it was very beautiful.

A moment later, a purple glow appeared on his right hand, which was on Noah's chest. I held my breath as I watched that scene, I couldn't calm down. Emma was acting the same way, but she preferred to avoid looking at Noah.

"It's okay," I said low in her ear as I hugged her and looked at Noah and Tomhe again.

Noah's body had started to glow a pale purple color too, and that lasted for a long time. Tomhe was sweating as he continued with his hand on Noah's chest using all his magic.

His staff continued to glow showing that his mana was being drained.

Tomhe's companions were apprehensive noticing that the boy was not doing very well and was also taking longer than he should have.

"Isn't he taking longer than usual?" Riata said quietly to Carbrand as the man sweated and looked worriedly at Tomhe.

"Yes, this is taking too long." He didn't take his eyes off Tomhe, he watched everything closely.

Nalett in the distance was wearing his usual expression, but I could see a drop of sweat running down his forehead, showing that she was nervous too.

'Please,' I said in my mind as I waited anxiously for an answer from Tomhe who continued to use up all of his mana in Noah's treatment.

####

The treatment continued for about 5 minutes before Tomhe removed his hand from Noah's chest.

As soon as he withdrew his hand, the glow on the staff disappeared and then he walked away from the bed. But when he tried to take another step, he seemed to have gotten dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

Carbrand who was nearby quickly caught him.

"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I just spent more mana than I should have."

"But did you did it?"

"Yeah, I think it should be okay." The boy replied and then gave a small smile as he closed his eyes.

"That's great. You can rest now." After that Tomhe fainted in Carbrand's arms.

Carbrand held Tomhe in his arms carefully.

"Is there somewhere I can put it?"

"Oh yes, you can put it on the sofa in the living room or Noah's bedroom in the door to the left of the hall." Emma suddenly responded as she released me. But after saying that, she ran to Noah who was lying down.

She reached the side of the bed and touched Noah's forehead.

"His temperature is still a little low, but his breathing seems to have improved." She said as she placed her hand in front of Noah's nose. After that, tears started to appear in her eyes.

"He's okay now, isn't he?" She started crying right then and there as she looked at Riata. The woman approached Noah and checked on him before replying positively.

Hearing this, Emma began to cry out loud as she leaned over the bed and practically hugged Noah.

I controlled myself, but tears still welled up in my eyes.

Lari was also crying a lot. She seemed to be praying and thanking someone.

Lisandra.

"He is fine? He is fine?" Breaking the silence she'd kept for a long time, she began to cry uncontrollably as she moved even closer to Noah and took a closer look.

That scene was enough to make me start crying too. I'm so happy.

Ciaphia, Eli, and Taciane who were outside were listening to everything. It was anguish minutes.

But they heard that Noah was fine.

As soon as she heard it, Ciaphia crouched by the door and took a deep breath.

"Thank you... Thank you..." She said several times as she calmed down. In her mind, she felt guilty that Noah had gone into the forest, as she had lent her his sword and didn't try to stop him.

But now he was fine, and it made her so happy. She was trying to keep from jumping and screaming around the house.

She controlled herself.

She just kept crouched down as tears streamed down her face and she kept thanking the goddess that everything had gone well. Eli and Taciane who observed that put a smile on her face.

In addition to feeling better because Noah was okay, they could finally see Ciaphia smiling and feeling better after several days.

They were a little startled when Carbrand suddenly came out of the room carrying Tomhe unconscious, but after receiving the information that he was only sleeping, they were calm.

But soon the girls forgot about him and could only remember Noah.

"I'm glad he's better…" Taciane said as she smiled.

"Yes," Eli answered and then was silent.

The door that had been opened allowed them to look into the bedroom. Ciaphia approach the door and looked at Noah who was still lying on the bed.

In addition to Noah, she saw Emma crying with happiness as she hugged her son. Lisandra who had been quiet all the time now had finally started to cry uncontrollably as she got closer to her brother.

Seeing this, she couldn't control herself and started to cry even more.

Riata who looked at the door and saw Ciaphia smiled warmly at the girl.

"I think it's time we left." She said. Riata at the moment wanted to go out to let Noah's family be with him and didn't want to get in the way.

But of course, Emma wouldn't let that.

"Don't go yet. I want you guys to stay here today, okay? I'll prepare the best dinner you guys ever had in your life." Emma cried out as she stood up and wiped her tears away.

"But...you should rest now that things have calmed down." Carbrand, who had come back to the bedroom, looked a little worried about everyone's appearance. They looked tired.

"Don't worry about it. At least stay for dinner. I will also prepare your payment!" This time it was Lucio's turn to protest.

Seeing that they had no choice, Riata nodded.

"Okay, let's stay for dinner. But we can't stay at your house, would you have somewhere for us to stay? If they don't, we can set up a camp." She said while smiling.

"Do not worry. Some residents left so there are some houses left, you guys can use some of the houses."

"That's great."

"Come on, I'll take you to one of the houses." Emma prepared to leave the room with Riata, but the girl wanted to stop Emma.

"Is everything okay? Your son has just been cured, I think you'd better keep him for now."

"Don't worry about it, he'll probably take a while to wake up."

"If you say..."

After that, the adventurers left the bedroom along with Emma.

Inside the room, only Lucio, Lari, and Lisandra remained. Seeing this, Ciaphia, Eli, and Taciane entered the room to get a better look at Noah.

Once inside, they approached Noah with a smile on their faces. Ciaphia was the only one who cried.

As soon as she approached Noah, Lisandra called out to her and hugged her. The two embraced happily as they cried.

Seeing this, Lucio began to cry even more.

It was great to see that everything was working out.
