A Highest Rank in Another World!

Arriving at the room still stunned, Luna went over to the bed her brother was on and quickly got him out.

"Ward, let's go now, okay?" She helped him to get out and soon after went to her broken closet and grabbed a large piece of cloth. After that, she approached Ward again.

"Here, put this on your eyes, and don't think about taking it off." She handed the piece of cloth to him. Ward looked at his sister a little confused. 

Realizing this, Luna took the cloth from Ward's hand again.

Then she began to tie it around her brother's eyes.

"I don't want you to see everything that's out there, all right? So don't take it out of your eyes at all."

"All right, I won't." Luna took Ward's hand and then left the bedroom.

"Stay here for a while, I'll get some food and water." Luna quickly grabbed an old bag and began to put away all the food that was left in her house.

Unfortunately, much of it had been thrown on the floor or had been eaten by whoever had broken into her house.

'Damn, we'll have to get more food later.' She tied her bag and then immediately put it on her shoulder.

"Shall we go?"

"Yes." 

Luna held Ward's hand who was a little disoriented and then went to the door. She slowly opened the door and peeked outside.

Aside from the old wooden houses of the residents, she found nothing but a single carriage standing there, but the horse that was connected to it was already dead.

"Isn't that carriage Valdir's?" She said a little sadly as she controlled her tears and fear.

"What is it? Did something happen?" Noticing that his sister was not moving, Ward started to get worried. But Luna calmed him down and soon after they started walking through the now deserted village.

Luna could see the doors of the houses broken, but fortunately, she didn't find anyone's body, and that made her calmer. No, she couldn't be calmer because she knew that everyone was dead.

The silence only proved this, no one else in this village was alive besides the two of them.

That was enough to make Luna start crying again. But she did it as quietly as she could so as not to frighten her brother.

And meanwhile, she walked the main "street" of the village as she approached the only protective fence that was around the village. And unfortunately, the nearly four-meter-high wooden fence had been broken.

"Ward, we're going to leave the village. In a little while, I'll remove the blindfold from your eyes, okay?"

"Okay."

Luna crossed the village fence but one thought immediately popped into her head.

'Will this be enough?' Placing her left hand on the bag resting on her shoulder, she wondered if she didn't need to go after more food.

'The nearest town from here is three days away, what are we going to do until then? We won't be able to survive on that alone.' She began to get extremely worried as she moved a little further away from the village.

'Should I go back and go after food inside the houses? NO, THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION! I don't want to see any more bodies, I don't want to see all that again.' Feeling her stomach turn, she remembered the scene she had seen in her parents' bedroom.

"Sister?" Ward who was standing next to Luna realized the state her sister was in, so he squeezed her hand even tighter to try to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Ward, I'm fine," Luna said as she moved on without looking back.

'I just have to hunt food and water later. Everything will be fine.'

"Sister, can I take it off now?" Walking a few feet ahead, Ward began to feel uncomfortable with the cloth around his eyes. Luna who noticed this finally allowed the cloth to be removed.

"My eyes are hurting so much right now," Ward complained as the sunlight hit his eyes.

After a few seconds, he finally get used to the light.

"Where are we?" Ward asked.

Luna who was next to him had already stopped crying and just walked silently beside him while looking thoughtful.

"Sister!" Ward gave a little shout to get her attention.

"What is it?" Luna who finally started to pay attention to her brother looked at him in confusion.

"What is it, Ward? Are you thirsty?" She asked as she pulled a canteen of water from her purse.

"It's not that, I wanted to know where we are." Ward looked around and the only thing he could see was grass and some trees.

"We're a little far from the village now, we're heading toward town."

"Got it. How long do you think it will take us to get there?"

"Maybe three days."

"And will we be able to do that? I can't walk for a long time, I might end up slowing you down." Ward looked worried.

"Don't worry, we'll make it. Now let's go." Luna smiled at him and then immediately continued walking on the green grass. Ward followed right behind as he looked at his sister's tail swaying.

####

Three days had passed since then.

Luna who was having a hard time walking sat down on the ground. Ward beside her who was in better condition looked worried.

"What are you feeling? Are you okay?" He asked worriedly as he knelt and looked at Luna's face.

"I'm just a little tired, I need some sleep."

"Now? We're almost there." Ward said as he looked at his sister sitting on the ground not caring where they were at the moment.

"Just a little bit."

"... But don't think about dying, okay?" Ward said worried and a little uneasy about the whole thing. He could tell that his sister was not well since in those three days she had already lost a lot of weight.

In addition, her eyes were red and she also had dark circles under her eyes, showing that she hadn't slept much.

'She didn't eat much and I ate very well. Was she eating less just because of me?' Ward clenched his fists over this. 

"Right, I need to find some food for her. Are you there, Will?" 

[ Yes, I'm here. ]

"Good, let's do that. Could you let me know if my sister is in danger?"

[ Sure, I'll do that. ]

Then Ward left his sister resting and headed towards a small forest nearby accompanied by his friend Will. 

Arriving there in just a few minutes, he found a small horned rabbit hopping around.

"Will, what do I do? I've never killed a monster before."

[ Just approach it and leave the rest to me ].

"Right."

Ward walked slowly without startling the rabbit. As he got closer, he felt some things coming out of his chest. Large black chains came out and bound the rabbit.

"Oohhh, what's that?" Ward said in amazement as he watched it all happen.

[ Just a trick. ]

The chain wrapped itself around the rabbit's neck and its head flew off.

[ Do you need more help? ]

"Let's hunt some more, after that we'll come back."

[ Sure, I'll help in any way I can, hehe. ]

"Then let's go."

####

"Why didn't you help before?" Ward asked as he walked back to where he had left his sister. He took a wooden stick and was using it as a skewer to carry the three rabbits.

[ What do you mean? ]

"Why didn't you use those chains when that attack on our village happened?"

[ I couldn't just interfere ]

"Why not?"

[ I have a friend and he said not to show me to others. If I had helped you, your sister would have seen me, wouldn't she? ]

Ward thought for a moment but still did not feel content with this explanation. He stopped walking suddenly and gritted his teeth as he tried to control himself not to start crying.

"You know, I know that our parents are dead and that everyone else is dead... But still, I don't want to cry in front of my sister so as not to worry her."

[ I know. You're a good boy ]

"But still it hurts so much, my chest hurts so much just remembering my parents' faces." Ward began to cry as he lamented deeply. And as he cried, he began to wonder again.

"Why didn't you help?"

[ I already said. ]

"NO, YOU SHOULD HAVE HELPED, DAMN! AREN'T YOU MY FRIEND? IF YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO HELP, YOU MUST DO IT!"

Ward let go of the stick the rabbits were on and began to mess up his hair and hurt his ears while scratching his head uncontrollably and crying.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE HELPED... YOU SHOULD HAVE..."

Even as he whined, his friend Will remained silent and said nothing.

"HEY, WILL! ARE YOU REALLY MY FRIEND?"

Again Ward did not get an answer.

Ward cried for a while longer and then tried to control his feelings.

Then he again took the stick with the rabbits and start moving on in silence.
