A Highest Rank in Another World!

As I kept quiet and stared at my mother in front of me, I also noticed Ciaphia and Lisandra crying beside me as they smiled at me. Then I could see how worried they were.

'I'm sorry,' I said in my mind. It's too bad they couldn't hear. But for sure when I get my voice back I'll apologize to them.

"Finally you woke up, you made me very worried." Another person who suddenly appeared next to me was my father. He was standing beside the bed, so I looked at him and smiled.

At least I could move my mouth enough to do that.

"You took too long to wake up you idiot, do you have any idea how worried I was?" It was Lisandra's turn to say something.

And right after that, CIaphia who was beside her wiped the tears on her face with her hand's back.

"But what matters is that you're okay now," Ciaphia said.

'But you know... I'm not feeling too good yet.' Even so, I just smiled at both of them.

"But how are you feeling right now? Are you feeling any pain?" My mother had controlled her tears and seemed quite concerned about my condition.

And since I couldn't answer her question, I just nodded at her.

"Where?" She looked even more concerned when I nodded. Lisandra, Ciaphia, Lari, and my dad also seemed pretty worried about it.

But I reassured them and smiled, then let go of my mother's hand and with difficulty pointed at my throat.

"Your throat? Want some water?" my mom asked, and I nodded at her again.

"Fine, I'll get it for you right away." My father, who was up, ran out of the room and in less than a minute he returned with a wooden cup filled with water.

"Here it is. Be careful not to drown him."

"I know."

My mom took my dad's wooden cup and brought it to my mouth while she also held my head. She brought the cup to my mouth and I drank it slowly.

I was being watched by everyone, this sure is a little weird. Could you guys give me some space?

'No, I think they'd better stay close.'

And so I finished drinking the entire glass of water. I felt so much better now.

It was such a refreshing sensation.

At the same time, I felt my mouth move more easily, and also my throat had already improved a lot. And so I tried to say something.

"I am fine," I said. But as I spoke, my throat felt uncomfortable. It wasn't a bad pain, but it was uncomfortable.

"Phew~~" My mother, who heard my words, sighed in relief. Right then she looked at me again.

"I thought you went voiceless."

"My...throat...is hurting a little," I spoke.

"I see, probably because you didn't speak for a long time."

"How many days?"

"How many days did you sleep? There weren't that many, probably less than a month."

"I understood."

With our exchange of words, my mom looked happier than ever. Lisandra and Ciaphia who were beside me looked thrilled as they admired my lines. This is a little scary.

"You guys are staring at me a lot," I said as I looked at both of them.

"Ah, sorry about that, it's just that I'm so happy that… Ahhh" Ciaphia was the first to say something. She was acting in a way I wasn't used to. Is really Ciaphia?

She was acting really like an embarrassed girl now, her face was red and she covered it with her hands.

As I looked at her and smiled, I ended up uttering the following words.

"Cute..."

"What?"

At my words, the bedroom went silent. My mom looked shocked, but she was smiling. Lisandra was also acting the same way. My dad was looking at me like he was thinking "This is my boy"

But Lari on the other side of the bed...

"?!" She was looking at me with teary eyes like she was listening to something she would never have imagined hearing or seeing right after I woke up. Calling another girl cute in front of her...

She is so jealous...

But I can't do anything. I said it without thinking.

Look at Ciaphia, she's about to pass out. Her face is so red I have a feeling she's going to explode.

But even so...I think it was good that I stated what I thought of her.

It sure made her quite happy as I can see a smile hiding behind her hands that were over her face.

And about Lari... I'm sorry to make you jealous. But you know, you look really cute too.

A few hours have passed since I woke up. In the last few hours, I've been visited by many people. Taciane and Eli were called by Ciaphia shortly after I woke up as the girl was so embarrassed that she couldn't stay in her room.

She took advantage of this situation to call the two.

Dala and Clachel were in the house, they seemed to be working for my mom or something, so they also came into the bedroom to check on me.

Over time, my voice gradually recovered, so I managed to have a short conversation with all of them. But as I felt tired, it didn't take me long to fall asleep again.

And when I woke up it was already another day. It was light outside and I felt a lot better. I had a cup of tea brought by Clachel, which was enough to improve my throat a lot.

Now I've been able to talk without feeling any discomfort, thankfully it was a quick recovery.

"But now isn't it time for me to get up?" I told my mom I was in the bedroom. Not just her, but Lari and Lisandra were already here.

As it was too early, Ciaphia still hadn't arrived.

"No, you need to rest a little longer."

"I'm already fine. I can eat, I can move my arms and legs, look at that." I shook my arms and legs.

"Haaa~~ Alright, but I'll help you in case you fall. But don't forget I warned you, you should wait a while to try to walk."

"If I stay lying down, it will just take longer to walk again. Sleeping for days was enough for my body to be extremely harmed." I felt my arms and legs were "Hard"

They didn't move very well.

"That's why I say you should have physical therapy before you go back to walking, to strengthen your arms and legs again."

"Oh my god. I haven't been sleeping that long, I don't need it." I think she's overreacting a bit, physiotherapy isn't necessary for this situation, I'm already feeling almost 100% okay just having passed just a few hours.

Eating was enough to strengthen me enough.

"Okay, come here." My mom moved to the side of the bed as she motioned for Lari to back off a bit.

"Don't worry, I'll get up myself." I took off the blanket that was covering me and then crawled out of bed with some difficulty. After that, I braced my feet on the ground and forced myself to stand up.

Even if it's only been a few days, it's a strange feeling.

I wonder how people who have been in a coma for years feel. It sure must be difficult.

"I'm fine, just hold me if I'm close to falling." My muscles were a little atrophied, but I managed to start walking around the room, and before long my body felt like it did before.

It was like I had never been hurt before.

"You sure recover quickly." As I walked around the room with ease, four people I didn't know appeared.

"Who?" I wondered who they were, but after that, my mom explained to me that they were the four adventurers who came to help me. It seems this boy named Tomhe was responsible for using healing magic on me.

The other three are your companions. Their names were Riata, Carbrand, and Nalett.

"Thank you very much." The first thing I did was go to Tomhe and thank him. If it hadn't been for him I might have died again.

I would probably come back to life, but it would be horrible to die in front of my family and then come back as if nothing had happened.

"No…no problem. I just did my job." Tomhe seemed to be a boy who was easily embarrassed.

"Come on, don't be so embarrassed." The red-haired woman named Riata patted the boy on the back, and the tall man named Carbrand was laughing at him.

That girl named Nalett, on the other hand, seemed to have no expression, but I could feel that she was happy. Maybe she is happy with my recovery.

I don't know you, but I appreciate it so much.

And after I met these four adventurers and thanked them deeply, I finally left the bedroom and went outside.

A lot of people were worried about me.. I didn't know the people in the village cared so much about me.
