A Highest Rank in Another World!

Back to the present moments, Luna who was still leaning over the window left her living room and went to her room. When she got there she lay down on her bed and looked at the ceiling while remaining silent.

She sighed and then sat up in bed. 

"What do I do now? I feel like I should stay here and try to do something, but at the same time I feel like I should get out of here as soon as possible." Luna put her hands over her head and thought hard about what to do.

But she couldn't conclude.

As much as she wanted to leave this place and disappear, in her head something was telling her to stay here and take care of everything. 

'What do I do? Ward?' She began to cry again.

After that, she threw herself on the bed and cried for a few minutes until she slept.

She slept for a few hours, outside that had previously been bright was already starting to get dark.

Luna got up and looked out the window.

"So I slept all day?" She ran the back of her hand over her eyes to wipe them clean. Then she walked to the bathroom. It was a little dark inside the room, so she ended up tripping over some things that were on the floor.

'What's that?' Not knowing what it was, she walked forward and enter the bathroom. She turned on the light inside the bathroom and then looked in the mirror. 

"My eyes are red and puffy, damn it..." She lowered her head and poured a good amount of water on her face. After doing so she lifted her face again to dry it.

But the moment she did this, her heart stopped for an instant.

When she looked in the mirror, she saw not only her reflection, but right behind her, a girl with big horns was smiling at her.

Luna's heart stopped for a few seconds. Luna was paralyzed until she finally managed to reason what was happening.

She looked back quickly and looked at the girl's face just behind her.

"Hi." The girl tilted her head and looked at Luna as smiled.

Luna was extremely surprised and startled by her sudden appearance.

"What are you doing here?" Luna asked as she continued with her wet face.

The girl looked at Luna for a while until she finally turned to leave the bathroom. Luna dried her face with the towel that was hanging on the wall and then immediately left the bathroom to go after her.

"Tell me, you know something, don't you?" Luna stopped the girl from leaving the room.

The girl who was ready to open the door turned and looked at Luna with her red and gold eyes. Luna who received her gaze took a step back after feeling a great discomfort.

"What do you mean? Are you talking about the death of the king? Or may I call him your brother? I don't know anything."

"You're lying, I'm sure of it. Why did this happen right after you showed up? You're involved in this somehow."

"Listen, little girl. You shouldn't keep accusing people." The girl began to take slow steps toward Luna, forcing her away. Luna walked backward until finally, her back was against the wall.

The girl approached Luna and stared at her.

"I don't know anything about your brother, so you'd better not keep bugging me. Is that okay?" The girl brought her face closer to Luna's face, causing Luna to close her eyes and begin to tremble.

Luna could do nothing but shake her head several times.

"Okay, so I'm going to leave now. And I'm sorry about your brother." The girl waved her hand upward as if saying "goodbye" and left the room.

Luna who was finally alone in the bedroom, fell to the floor as she continued to lean against the wall.

After that, she hugged her knees and just sat there.

"I'm sure this girl did something against Ward, I'm sure!" She drove her nails into her legs hard as her body trembled and her eyes were filled with tears again.

The next day, Luna gathered together with Lisa, Phena, Lyace, and the Burmax again.

"I would like to talk with you all before I do anything rash." Luna sat down and took a deep breath.

"What?" Lisa looked a little nervous, as did everyone else inside the room.

Luna heard her question and closed her eyes. She first thought carefully about what to say before she started to say something. She felt that if she said something unnecessary it might end her relationship with these four people.

Not that what she wishes wouldn't do that.

"I've decided to leave the country, I'm sorry about that." Luna stood up and bowed her head.

The four people don't looked surprised, they just smiled.

"So that's it?" Lisa said sounding calm.

Next, it was Lyace's turn to say something.

"Even you had said you were going to remain in charge yesterday, I already figured you wouldn't be able to stay here."

"Yeah, I figured that too," Lisa said as she stood up. After approaching Luna, she gave the little fox girl a tight hug.

"Your brother has accomplished what he wanted, and he is no longer here. There's no reason for you to go on with this, is there?"

"But my brother did not fulfill what he wanted. Southlein was not destroyed, and...'' Luna began to cry again, then she pushed Lisa away and threw herself on the floor. She sat down on the floor and put her hand over her face.

"But... But... I feel like I shouldn't be here, for some reason I'm sure I shouldn't be in this place. I feel like none of this stuff we did should have been done, it's so strange."

Luna shook her head several times.

"But even though I feel like this shouldn't have been done, and that my brother is dead... In my head, I get messages of "You should do what Ward tells you" "You should support him in everything." He's already dead, what do you mean I need to support him?"

Luna started pulling at her hair.

"So I just want to get out of here as soon as possible, I want these things to go out of my head. Even if my mind tries to keep me here, I'm getting out. Then I want you guys to forgive me, I can't keep running this country like I wanted to."

Everyone was looking at Luna with pity. She was so desperate and was acting in a way that none of them had ever seen before.

They couldn't understand exactly what she meant by all this, but they wanted to support her.

"It's okay, you can leave, we'll stay right here when you leave, don't worry." Lisa reached down and hugged Luna.

"Are you guys going to continue here?" Luna lifted her head and looked at Lisa who was hugging her and the other three standing nearby.

"Of course, we will continue here because we can't let the country turn into a ruinous. Maybe we will turn the country over to the old king again as you suggested yesterday."

"..."

Lisa continued to hug Luna until the fox girl finally calmed down. The two stood up and faced each other.

"Are you calmer?" Lisa asked as she gave Luna a genuine smile.

Luna smiled back and then it was her turn to hug Lisa.

"Thank you for everything. Thank you all for everything. You helped my brother and now you are here supporting me even though I am wanting to abandon you..."

"Stop talking nonsense, you are not abandoning us." Lisa turned away from Luna and patted her on the head.

"Ouch~~ All right, now I'll get things ready so I can leave today," Luna said cheerfully as she wiped the remaining tears on her face.

Luna who looked much better got ready to leave the room.

"Huh?"

But before she could leave, her hand was grabbed by Lisa's hand. Luna looked back and realized that the woman had a serious look on her face. 

Phena, Lyece, and Burmax were acting the same way.

"What is it?" Luna looked a little startled as she looked at the four of them acting so strangely.

"Let go of me, you are scaring me." Luna tried to release her hand from Lisa's hand, but Lisa wouldn't let go and pulled her close.

"Ah~~" Luna gave a little scream at being pulled so suddenly.

And after being very close, Lisa whispered some words in her ear. 

Luna who heard those words felt her body shaking and remained silent as she looked at the door of the room.

'Walk slowly to the back, there is an emergency exit behind that closet over there. Let's go slowly.' Lyace said low as he slowly walked towards the closet in the right corner of the room.

They walked slowly towards the closet so as not to make any noise.

But unfortunately not making any noise wasn't enough.

BOOM~~~

BREAK~~

With the sound of an explosion and then the sound of wood breaking into pieces, the door of the room flew away and crashed into the wall of the room.

"Do you think that just being silent would be enough? I already knew you were here.. And about you, I knew I should have killed you last night, but I felt a little sorry for you since you were so sad."
