I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

I sent Sarah on some errands, so she was currently not attending to me.

If she had been present, then this Kurt fellow would not have had direct contact with me. So, in a way, I was somewhat excused.

'Yep! I did nothing wrong!'

Once I shamelessly satiated my conscience, I resumed my 'Hero Vibe' and addressed my subject with the dignity expected of someone in my position.

"So, what is it you wanted to say?" My eyes narrowed at the middle-aged man as he trembled before me.

He was probably lost in the magnificence of my room.

'It's not anything fancy—just a large room filled with a bunch of stuff from my old world. It almost makes me feel like I'm back home too...' I reveled in my comfort.

For example, I brought my television, my game console, my bookshelf—basically everything that could be recognized as my property from my previous world.

As a result, even though my home was larger than the others, it was stocked with so many things that I didn't seem to notice how good I had it.

"Y-yes. We spotted three persons heading in this direction. They're running, so they seem to be in a hurry to reach here."

"Any chance their goal is somewhere else?"

"I don't think so. They're specifically targeting our direction. Plus, there's no other residence in this vicinity."

"Hmmm, I see..." My tone was collected, but...

'What the heck?! What have we done to deserve this kind of attention? What do these strangers want with us now?!'

I knew all the times of peace we had were too good to be true.

'Has the universe finally decided to punish me?'

"W-what should we do, Hero? We chose not to ring the bell because their numbers do not warrant a state of emergency." Kurt spoke with a trembling tone.

Did he really think I would chastise him for his actions?

"That was an excellent decision. You made the right call."

"A-ah! Thank you, Hero!"

I could see his face blushing, and honestly... that creeped me out a little.

"Go speak to Lucy. Give her the details. She'll confirm your report by taking a look from the Watchtower."

The man nodded instantly, astounded by the wisdom I displayed.

"Tell her I leave the formation of defenses to her. Once everything is ready, let me be informed."

Truth be told, the potential intruders could end up not being enemies. In that case, I had to ensure the measures we took weren't too severe.

"Let it be a mild welcome. If they choose to use force, then... so be it."

"Understood! I will carry out your command with absolute fervency!" The man bowed, and then scurried away afterward.

I was initially uncomfortable at the idea of having people old enough to be my parents accord me so much respect and reverence, but it had pretty much grown on me at this point.

I was the Hero, so I just had to deal with it.

"Now, then... let's see what the problem is exactly." Glancing at my bedside, I spotted my television remote—among other gadgets.

I turned on the television with the remote, watching the thing display the last anime I was watching in my downtime.

'A-ah, no. Not now!'

The Anime was paused, but I didn't want the temptation of watching it when I had something more important to do.

Thanks to having a couple of Solar Panels constantly charged by the Sun's concentrated rays, I had access to electricity.

Even back on Earth, I was always a fan of clean energy.

It took some time to sort out the wiring problem, but it eventually worked out. The whole town could finally enjoy the glorious power of Light Bulbs.

'Alright, back to topic!'

I quickly changed the channel and switched to a different 'Source'.

'CCTV. Yep! That's the stuff!'

My Television screen instantly showed something different.

It was live footage from the Watchtower itself!

One of the advancements I made in this new world was introducing modern technology to make things better for me.

I installed security cams in strategic places around our settlement. That way, I could better observe many things from the comfort of my home.

'They cost a good amount of Karmic Value, but their functions are well worth it...'

Not only did I get to see everything I wanted from a comfortable space, but the people revered me more since they literally thought I was omnipresent and omniscient.

I could simply mention what happened at one location, even though I wasn't present there. The question of 'How did he know?!' would eventually get chalked down to me being just that powerful.

As long as I could observe everything—even the sight from the Watchtower from my room—I could better understand what we were facing.

"A-ah, so those are the three figures approaching us..." I murmured, looking at them run through the wilderness.

They were still a far distance off, and it was getting dark since it was evening, so I couldn't exactly make out the details.

Still...

'Don't they look human?'

[They Are Not Enemies]

"Ohhh, nice one, System!" I already had a feeling they weren't harmful.

[No, you didn't.]

"I-in any case, I better stop all the panic before things get out of hand."

Since they were here, perhaps my weapons were finally ready. I suddenly felt guilty for doubting Zabdel and the Adventurer City.

'I don't see any sac with them, though. Do they have it stored in a Spacial Ring? No, there's no way they have that technology...'

I decided not to ponder too much about where they had the items stored.

The fact that they were hurriedly coming to my doorstep meant they had realized their mistakes. I had to be generous enough to forgive them.

"Alright, then. I should get ready for their arrival, shouldn't I?"

Sarah would be back from her errand soon. She was going to help me set up the perfect welcome party for our guests.

'Alright! Should I flex a little?'
