I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

The dark clouds rumbled, and then I realized it was just about to rain.

"A-ah... is it that time of the year already?"

As more thick clouds gathered, I remained frozen where I stood, watching the foamy clusters of grey and ash.

It wasn't like I thought they were beautiful or anything. I was just...

'MY EARTH DRAGON... GIVE ME BACK NY EARTH DRAGON!!!'

... Lost in intense thought.

As I was weeping internally—wondering how to raise the question when next I went to Dulum—the shaft on the roof opened, and someone emerged.

"Sam... it's about to rain. Is it not best you come under shade?"

"Ah, that's true," I murmured.

The Priestess hadn't changed the slightest since I met her. She was still very loyal—perhaps even more than ever.

And she was plenty attractive in her overalls too.

'If I had played my cards right... perhaps she would be Girl Number 1 in my Harem.' I made a sad mental note, eviscerating something that would never come to pass.

'Lucy should be Girl Number 2, and then Lilith should be Girl Number 3...'

It was a shame I could no longer depend on Asa, especially since we never really spoke all thanks to me resetting the timeline.

'I had initially thought there would be chances of further advance in the future, but...'

Apparently, Asa was an accomplished A Rank Adventurer, and she was on the rise in the Adventurers business.

I didn't want to interrupt that.

'This shows just how much potential she has. Now I feel even worse for diminishing her capabilities in the lost timeline...'

In any case, all my Harem ideas were fantasies.

Not only did these girls respect me a great deal, but they also seemed to be stiff as heck. Not one of them would even offer her body or perform a lewd act.

I never had to see any censored scene... 'accidentally', of course.

'Here I am, working myself to the bone, and no one can offer up themselves in gratitude?'

I knew I was being unjustifiably hard on them mentally. Perhaps the Earth Dragon stuff affected me more than I thought.

'The next time I go to Dulum, I'm going to raze that place to the ground! They're gonna cough up the merchandise... or so I'd like to say.'

With a deflated sigh, I followed Sarah down the shaft until we got into the tower's interior and I observed the guardpost.

It wasn't like I couldn't cause some commotion in the Adventurer's City or straight up ask for my property back, but...

'I still need to maintain good relations with them in order to further advance my trade prospects.'

Plus, as allies of my people, Dulum remained indispensable—especially considering how they were already a well-known body in this world.

'It doesn't mean I'll just forget about it. I'll definitely ask for my stuff back.'

Comradeship was built on trust, after all. The question I needed to get out of my mind was simple...

'Can I trust those guys or not?'

"A-ah—" I realized I was standing in a single position for too long.

Sarah was already looking at me with those cute and curious eyes. I bet she thought I was thinking about something super important.

Well, it was kind of important, but... well, you get my drift.

"Let us descend."

I did mention the tower was over a hundred feet tall, right? In that case, how would you suppose a person navigated their way up and down the stairs?

The answer was simple—or rather, a bit complex.

Sarah guided me to the door that led to our ticket down. As it opened, something was waiting for me within.

A hovering box that resembled a small compartment.

Yes, that's right!

'I developed an Elevator in another world!'

"Shall we?" I smiled as we stepped into the floating cube together.

What kept it afloat was Magic, obviously. It had no wires or whatever thingies that Elevators had.

The concept was simple.

By using Magic Runes to make the box lighter, it floated.

Then, by choosing to return down and adding an extra Rune, the box slowly got heavier until it reached the ground floor.

'Am I a genius or what?!'

There were some issues with it, though—like how you would always need to place a rune to change the weight.

What if we ran out of Mana Chalk and Mercury?

I needed to think of more sustainable developments, but so far... we were doing pretty well.

The compartment hummed as it started to take us down slowly. I caught Sarah fidgeting from the side of my eyes.

Her body moved uncomfortably as her gaze shifted in many directions. Clearly, she was feeling nervous as we were being slowly dropped by the Magic Elevator.

'So cute!'

Not long after, we arrived at the ground floor, and I stepped out of the Tower, only to be greeted by rain.

"S-Sam!" I heard Sarah scream, but it was too late.

Cool liquids fell on my body, and in no time at all, I was soaked.

'Welp... guess that's that.'

It was just normal rain, so I didn't understand why Sarah was being so shifty about it. Wasn't it just her usual unnecessary pampering?

'Haa... I should just return to my house. Taking a short nap while it's raining should help my mood a little...'

And so, as I was bathed in the cool rain, I glanced at the Priestess once more—hoping her attire would show me some nice proportions in their soaked state.

I wasn't disappointed.

'Is this how low you've sunk, Sam? Surrounded by so many cute girls, yet...'

I walked to my house with dignity, but within I knew I was a fallen man

.

'... I have nothing to show for it.'

******

Three people hurriedly traversed the wilderness, huffing and puffing as they did their best to navigate their way to the appointed destination as soon as possible.

One was a large, muscular barbarian.

Another was an extremely thin and lanky man.

The last one... was a blond lady with charming features.

Desperation lit up in their eyes, and they only had one destination—only one goal!

"Legendary Dragon Slayer, please be well..." The blond lady whispered under there breath as her eyes showed more blazing passion than ever before.

"Dulum needs your help!"
