A Highest Rank in Another World!

"But do you think monsters got smarter? Or maybe there's another reason they're like this." If all the monsters evolved this far and started to think and act like humans, humanity was in trouble.

We already have problems these days, if monsters evolve...

"I don't know. If I had to say, I think they were being controlled by someone, that specific group of monsters."

"Yes, because the monsters we encountered on the trip didn't act strangely as you described, they were normal."

"Exactly."

"So that's why you were analyzing monsters so much during battles." So I didn't understand exactly what my mom was thinking during the battles.

"That's right, but you also got to see that they were normal, there was nothing wrong." She placed her hand on the table with a clenched fist. From the look in her eyes, I could see that she wasn't okay.

"What's it?" I asked worriedly. Lari who was beside me also seemed concerned about my mother's way of acting.

"I am afraid."

"What?!" I exclaimed in surprise at my mother's sudden statement. Is my mom scared? This woman who is not afraid of anyone, is she afraid? This can not be happening.

"I'm scared of the future. Monsters gradually gaining human consciousness, do you understand how horrible that is?" She was looking serious.

"Of course I understand, but aren't you exaggerating? There haven't been any other cases of monsters like that around the world, have there been?" I hadn't heard about it, it's the first time I've heard about something like this.

"Not. When the attack took place, I also informed the capital about these monsters, and they were also surprised."

"Did you warn? But I don't remember anyone worrying about it while I was there." The guild was calm until I found the dungeon, it seemed like no one was worried about it.

"I wrote in the same letter I sent to the nobleman I quoted earlier. But he doesn't seem to have communicated to the guild. He communicated only the king." My mom looked angry.

"So he didn't warn the guild about it…But shouldn't you have done it before we left? You had this opportunity." I was confused because of that, she should have taken the opportunity to speak to the guild.

"They didn't allow me to do this."

"Hm?"

"The king himself asked me not to communicate with the guild." My mom looked frustrated. But wait, that's not allowed.

"But the country has no authority over the guild, and it's the guild that takes care of monsters and dungeons."

"..."

"The country only interferes when it's something really big, like a bunch of monsters dangerous enough to destroy a city, isn't that usually how things work?"

"Exactly."

"So they can't keep you quiet about it. The sooner the guild finds out about this, the better it will be."

"..."

"You're hiding something else, aren't you?" My mom looked frustrated and sad, she sure was hiding something. But I didn't want to pressure her, she must have a good reason to do that.

But throughout dinner, I just couldn't forget about it all, how weird everything was. Nothing made sense in what my mom had said, it's completely unrealistic.

Monsters gaining human consciousness? The guild doesn't know about this and the country that normally doesn't get involved in these matters is preventing my mom from talking to the guild about it?

What is this damn king thinking? I've never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I'm sure this guy isn't a good person, or maybe he's been influenced by something.

I also can't help but think about how things might change in the future. Just thinking about it makes me shiver all over my body.

Many kilometers away in the capital of the kingdom.

"Sir, there seems to be no other move on their part." A man prostrated himself to the man seated on the throne in front of him. The man sitting on the throne had a serious expression on his face.

"I see, what are they waiting for?" The man said as he clenched his fists and looked intently at the man kneeling in front of him.

Around him, many guards were looking worried and distressed.

"I do not know either. After destroying many villages, there is no other movement on their part. What worries me most is that they've collected all their men from the country's border."

The man said as he remained kneeling and sweating.

"I see, maybe they've given up on this idea?" The king smiled mischievously.

"I don't think that's the case."

"What?"

"You must have been warned that a new king is ruling Beastled. This information has not yet reached the ears of the population of Beastled realm, nor the population of our realm, but you certainly already know about it."

"Of course I know, wasn't it just a child who ended up stealing the throne? How incompetent can that guy who was the former king be?" The man placed his hand on the arm of his throne and sighed.

"Yes..." The man replied and then continued: "But as soon as the new king began to rule, he began to be hostile towards human countries."

"I already know all this." The man seemed impatient: "Even though we allowed those beasts to enter our countries, this new king dared to become hostile against us."

He was so angry that everyone around him felt the pressure emanating from his body.

"Exactly. And for that reason, I think they won't give up on the idea of ​​invading our country in the future."

"Are you saying they are going to try to invade human countries? Hahahahaha, those idiots." The king laughed at the affirmation of the man kneeling in front of him.

"That's right. I think they can't be able to do that if they're going to fight our armies using half-humans. But they could use monsters for that, right?"

"The same way they used to destroy those villages?"

"That's right."

"So they might end up putting together some monster army to attack our countries, right?" The king sighed.

"Exactly, I assume this could happen in the future."

"I see, but because they haven't made it public yet? Isn't it practically a declaration of war against human countries?"

"I don't know what the new king is thinking either. The residents of your country are scattered throughout human countries, it would be idiotic to start a war."

"Maybe that's why he hasn't publicly declared war yet. But I don't think I'll be able to hold back for long." The king looked happy: "After all this time, will we finally have a new war?"

"Sir..."

"I understand, I won't do anything rash. Just watch that king and his moves awhile longer, keep me posted on everything."

"Right."

"If they're gathering monsters, if they're moving your soldiers, keep me posted on everything."

"I'll do it." The man who was kneeling in front of him lowered his head even more in respect to the old man sitting on the throne.

"Okay, now you can leave." The old man said and then the man bowed as he left the throne room.

After that, the king started to look forward towards the door of his room while still thoughtful. He didn't know what to think now, things are starting to get complicated.

The country of the beastmen that has always been in harmony with the human countries suffered a coup d'état that was kept secret from its population, and now the new king is turning hostile against us.

Are they trying to start a secret war? What kind of idiocy is this.

I don't know what's on that kid's head, but I think they're looking to start a war.

Honestly, it's been a long time since I've seen a war going on, I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm getting excited about it

But I can't just think about myself, a war is not something that should ever be desired.

'But now I can only wait. I'll keep it a secret from the people for now, but if they decide to attack again, I won't hold back."

"Mom, don't you think this amount is enough?" It had been three days since I arrived in the village. During this time, I talked a lot with the new people who had arrived from the other village, and they received me very well.

How can I say, they were all very nice.

But now that they've arrived, we need to hunt for even more food while my dad doesn't come back, and that's what we were doing now.

I was carrying a lot of wild boar meat and also wolves we found in the forest, so I was getting tired.

"I think it's ok for today, it's almost time for dinner." We hunted all afternoon, we spent a long time here.

"Yes." But I was satisfied.

After that, we returned to the village with a large amount of meat, making all the villagers happy. I don't know the reason but my mother decided to have a festival.

So all night long it was a big party where the kids ate and played. Of course, the adults were drinking and having fun in another way.

I wanted to go back to being an adult again.... I miss drinking alcohol.
