Overpower Manager

Chapter 29's

Once I've finished off about 70% (plus another 10% of Claude) of their power.

"Well, I think it's time to collect the crystal stones of this demon army."

But before that, I forgot one thing if someone would be coming soon.

Something resembling a sea of iron men will come crashing at me from behind.

...----------------...

"What the fuck?!"

The blond haired girl's eyes opened wide when she saw the sea of corpses that were slowly turning into crystal stones.

While the knights had already come after fixing their attacking positions, I paid no heed to the shock and collected stone after stone that fell on the ground until──

"Woy! You hear no?!"

Along with that voice, a sword shattered the crystal I was about to take.

I looked up and found out the culprit was that knight girl.

"Sound what? Don't you see I'm busy right now?"

"You ..."

Ignoring the girl who was already heating up, I took the other stones and put them into my storage.

Yup, they've gathered over 1000 in my pocket.

That number was enough for me, but since Claude and I had defeated as many as 8000 demon lord troops, I would not be able to dispose of them.

Gather everything slowly and take it in a period of days.

Umu-umu ... It seems that idea is not bad either. Rarely can I harvest this much.

Even though I had ignored it, it turned out that someone near me was staring at me furiously now.

"Oi, lady knight, don't you have a job to take care of?"

"You ... The way you speak it ..."

Oh, huh? Because they are the chosen ones of the kingdom ... I should treat them differently, right?

"I call you by ... Ummm, the armor girl then?"

The one I called so instantly looked like it was suffocating on the neck when I said it.

"Awas you ... You adventurers don't know manners!"

"Please! How dare you insult the Princess!"

But, oi ... Is that true? If the call "Miss" is wrong, then the "Emerry girl" is wrong too? Well, do you have any advice for that, buddy?

When in that last sentence I heard a soldier say it.

I tilted my head while repeating the sentence, "Mr Princess?"

"Yes! Right, I am a Princess know?! "

As if proud of his current status.

But wait a minute, eh? Princess Sir?

"The Princess apparently. Oh, I'll call you that."

"It's good that you know your position."

Folding his hands he smiled with satisfaction.

I continued my cut sentence.

"Well, if this is done why don't you exterminate the rest of the demon lord's army? You know, I've run out of storage to collect this stone and don't want to add any more. And because your work has been facilitated. Well, it's time for you to show yourself as an honorable knight by exterminating that monster now, Princess."

"You still don't understand after knowing who I am? Ughb ... This humiliation!"

And, I think I've been overdoing it telling him to perform lately.

I mean what can be gained from facing the battered remains of the enemy army?

But who told 2 people vs 10 000 before, huh? I think it's fair for me to avenge this girl's earlier actions, by not giving her face in this fight.

And so this royal knight army did its job well, eradicating 2 000 enemy soldiers easily and defeating 10 000 demon king troops thanks to their hard work.

Everyone, including the citizens of Palous city would be safe from the threat of the demon lord for quite some time.

They will remember the heroine who rode the horse, the girl with blonde hair will be considered a hero whose story will be remembered for up to 100 years.

Well, that's what I wanted to do with the story.

"And you'll get all that praise. While I've been satisfied with these stones, congratulations"

"Eh? Truth be told, you expect me to get the winnings earned from this kind of cheating?!"

This knight girl, I mean the Princess continued to follow me all the way to the streets of Palous city even after I handed over all the things related to the rewards for the contribution of defeating the demon lord's army to her.

The Princess looked sullen and just puffed her cheeks at my back. And when I turned my face to look him in the eye.

"Are you not satisfied with that achievement? Trust me, I'm not gonna leak this. Just claim that you beat them all by yourself."

"You're mocking me, aren't you? So you think I'm that kind of person?!"

As he looked increasingly irritated, I shook my head firmly.

"I'm not making fun of you, you know? I've bothered enough to be famous for being a dragon slayer, and if that's added to being a hero, well ... You might lose your position if they find out you failed to repel the demon lord's army!"

I tried to tell him some of the possibilities that would have happened if he had turned down my offer.

Well, I found her face looking surprised for a few seconds afterwards.

"You think of me that far?"

"Yes ... Uhmmm, that's it."

I tried not to deal with this afterwards.

I think the quests in the guild only told me to help the army of royal knights who were besieged by the army of demon lords.

But I didn't expect it to turn out that their leader was a Princess, who was stubborn as well.

"My name is Elijah Von Relia! If you don't want the award then I'll force you to get it! I don't like taking things that aren't mine anyway!"

"So Elijah apparently. Well, don't say anything that makes my heart almost go out!"

Ah, it's no use.

I intended to stay away from him as soon as possible, so I increased my speed to go to the guild while carrying a large pouch containing over 8000 monster crystals.

Meanwhile, Princess Elijah followed me while walking quickly from behind with an increasingly irritated face.

I didn't expect him to go this far, but ignored that.

Heh, what's with this crowd that's starting to make?

"Is he the Princess of Elijah?"

"Yeah! Right, she is both the Princess and Hero of our kingdom!"

I patted the eel looking at that. Sure enough, this is why I balked at the idea of being stalked by a girl like her behind me.

I mean, everyone was staring intently at me afterwards as if asking, "What's the Princess following that guy?" then, "He looks like a knight too, but ... Ugh, what the fuck with that big bag?".

And made me end up being the target of their eyeballs. Woy! please stop this, buddy!

I've been running now shouting, "Please, there's a stalker!"

"I'm not a stalker! Goddamnit! Watch out!"
