Chapter 108 - 107 – She Discovered Everything.

I bought the food and walked straight to the inn, many people were looking at me with slightly disturbed looks and I didn't know why. Had I missed something? I don't remember doing anything weird.

Ignoring all eyes, I kept moving forward and arrived at the inn in an instant.

But as soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the looks of everyone inside the inn. Usually, that happened, but they would start ignoring me, but this time it was different.

They continued to look at me and talk amongst themselves. I even started to get uneasy about what had happened, I was pretty sure I hadn't done anything wrong.

"Noah? What happened to you?" The next one to notice me was Sara who left the kitchen quickly and ran towards me. She looked really nervous as she looked at me, my god what's going on.

But her next words made me understand what was wrong.

"What happened to your clothes? Is that blood?" Sara was looking at me scared, and at her words, I looked down and was startled by what I was seeing. My clothes were covered in blood.

"Was it at that moment?" I broke out in a sweat and remembered the fight I'd had against the Orcs. Their blood was also red so it looked very human, do they think I killed people? Wait.

"Well...well...I just killed some monsters." I was very nervous and continued to sweat. But even so, I tried to smile at Sara and act positively, but of course, I wanted to run from this place right now.

My clothes were smeared with blood, if Lisandra saw me she would find out what happened.

"Are you really okay? Didn't you get hurt?" Hearing that I had killed some monsters, Sara looked even more worried and moved closer, starting to check my body to see if I was hurt.

Listen, your hands are getting diry.

"I'm fine, now I need to leave... If Lisandra sees this..."

"If I see what?"

"Oh."

As soon as I looked behind Sara, I noticed Lisandra approaching us coolly as she stared at me. I couldn't say anything to defend myself now.

Ciaphia was also there behind Lisandra watching me, she was looking at me like she was saying "I feel sorry for you." And I can understand, even I started feeling sorry for myself now.

"You come with me." As soon as Lisandra approached, I could see that she was really angry. She pushed Sara away from me without caring and then grabbed my arm with all her strength as she pulled me into the bedroom.

"Listen, I'm leaving now, have fun."

"Ciaphia, help me."

"Sorry, see you later." You traitor, didn't you think I was cute? Now help me here.

Lisandra didn't say anything, dragged me upstairs. I could see Sara's worried looks on me, and also Ciaphia's sarcastic smile as if she was enjoying the situation, I'll definitely remember that.

####

"So what happened?" I was kneeling on the bedroom floor while Lisandra looked at me coldly, her gaze was making my whole body shiver.

"I was attacked by bandits again, so I couldn't do anything but kill them."

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Get over here." Lisandra approached me and then started to search me, it wasn't long before she reached into my pants pocket and pulled out my adventurer's license.

She looked at it and looked even more annoyed, I couldn't say anything to justify it, I couldn't make up any excuses.

"So you didn't keep your promise. You said you wouldn't join the guild before leaving school, and you also said you'd talk to our mom." Lisandra's blue eyes...They were scary.

"Yes."

"Are you not even going to try to deceive me by making up some lie?"

"I have no reason to do this, I joined the adventurers' guild and also went on a mission today, so I'm like this," I told her everything, there was no reason to hide anything.

Haaa~~

Lisandra took a deep breath and then exhaled the air from her lungs, then she grabbed my shoulders and urged me to my feet.

She was looking at me furious at the time and I couldn't say anything.

Slap~~

While I thought the situation couldn't get any worse, I felt an impact followed by a burning sensation in my face.

"I'm going to get in touch with the guild so they can talk to our mom, got it?" Lisandra watched me as her body shook and her eyes filled with tears. Is this all just because I became an adventurer?

Isn't she overreacting?

'But it was my mistake, I should have talked to her and my mom about it.'

"Right," I said as I put a hand to my face, then Lisandra turned and walked out of the bedroom as she held back her cry.

I didn't think she would act that way, this was much worse than I thought. As soon as I started remembering her face, I felt like my heart was being squeezed by someone.

####

'Damn, why did you have to do that?' I'd just left the room and left Noah in there alone. I just slapped him across the face, I shouldn't have done that.

I need to apologize to him.

"No, he lied to me and joined the adventurers guild." I looked at my hand and I was still holding his adventurer's license.

I cannot accept this. He said he would stay at school until he couldn't take it anymore, and if he couldn't take it anymore, he would talk to our mother and become an adventurer. But he blatantly lied.

How long has he been an adventurer? All this time he was working as an adventurer and was he lying to me?

I know I shouldn't act so childish, but I'm extremely worried about him. Even though I'm an older sister, I know that Noah is much stronger and more responsible than I am.

He could easily work as an adventurer, but even so, I can't help but worry about him.

'What do I do? I already said I'd talk to our mother.' If I do, Noah will surely be taken back to our village. Our mother will not leave you here, she is very strict when it comes to "obedience".

But now I can't waver, and I can't leave things as they are either. If I don't act like a responsible sister now and don't punish him, maybe things will get even worse in the future.

So I have to take responsibility for talking to our mother to have her punish him for it.

'AAAAAH.' I screamed in my mind as I took a seat at one of the tables.

"But I don't want Noah to leave." I didn't say it in my head this time, so everyone at the inn could hear my words, including Sara.

Hearing this, she approached the table that I was sitting at.

"Is Noah going to leave?" She looked a little surprised and worried.

"Listen, Sara, that boy lied to me."

"What?"

"He was working as an adventurer, can you believe it? He had made a promise to me that he wouldn't do that."

"Noah working as an adventurer? So that must be why Rose was talking to him so intimately a while ago. I can't believe it…" Sara also looked surprised at this.

"So Rose knew that too and didn't tell me. But I don't care about that now, I care about our mother."

"Your mom?"

"She sent Noah to the Capital so he can stay with me at school. No, she said he also needed to study a little more."

"But isn't he going to school?"

"She also said something else. Noah is very strong, so she told him this: I don't want you to work as an adventurer."

"And he disobeyed her..."

"I don't know if he forgot or if he's an idiot for ignoring our mother's orders."

"..."

"And he had also made a promise to me. He talked to me a while ago and said he wasn't enjoying school and would start working as an adventurer. Of course, I threatened to tell our mother everything."

"And what did he say?"

"He said he would stay in school for as long as he could. If he couldn't take it anymore, he would talk to our mother himself so he could start working as an adventurer."

"..." Sara continued looking at me without saying anything.

"So he should have talked to our mom himself before making that decision, but he preferred to do it all in hiding." I started to get annoyed again.

"I see, so your anger is understandable."

"Yes..."

Sara looked very worried, so I decided not to keep talking to her about it. Taking advantage of the fact that I was hungry, and that she was by my side, I asked her to bring me some food.

She left immediately and ran towards the kitchen.

After a while, she returned carrying a tray with two plates. One with rice with bean broth like that restaurant and a large amount of meat in another dish.

So I tried to forget about Noah and started eating.
