Overpower Manager

Chapter 31

And, a few days later, at the palace of the Relia kingdom's capital, Fallan.

"The adventurer Kyle, I'm Albert Von Relia, have heard of your contribution to the fight to defeat the demon lord's army invading our territory."

I bow my head.

"Yes ..."

If I don't see it wrong, the person in front of me right now is a bearded man and a unique mustache in a red robe and wearing a golden crown on the head.

Right, who else if not the king himself!

Then, standing next to her was Princess Elijah, a person whom I recognized as the queen sitting beside the King, along with the others who attended her, ugh ... I don't recognize them because they're too foreign to me.

And then, the last of course was me who was currently kneeling at the very center of the room facing towards the throne.

I, who was a former vocational graduate, got the chance to meet a king in another world.

"Right get a job."

Yes, get ju──Eh department?

"Can you repeat your words again, your majesty?"

When I felt something was wrong with that last sentence, the King tilted his head before easily saying.

".... ... Uhmmm ... Seeing your great achievements and contributions to the battle, then ... With this, I, Albert Von Relia will grant you the title of knight member who will oversee a territory, and──"

"Ugh, filler? I don't think that's part of the deal?"

When I feel this has deviated from what someone said, well ... It was then that my eyes would stare intently at the blond girl who was now throwing away a face as if she had never been involved in this.

"What do you mean by 'not part of the deal? Adventurer Kyle?"

When the King seemed to have a strange expression about my answer, the people around me immediately started whispering and talking about something.

While I who was kneeling there raised my body before calmly saying.

"No-no ... The knight position is not suitable for me. Lead a territory anyway? Please forgive me for my attitude, but I'm just a student who doesn't know anything about government."

And with a little care I said so that the King would not be offended.

I'm serious, you know? Leading your territory?! I don't know what happened until the king easily handed over his territory to me!

The man looked puzzled before someone got involved in the conversation.

"Yes, your honor. I had previously promised him not to include Adventurer Kyle into the royal knight members."

I saw Elijah standing in front of me now. Wow~ Turns out he kept his word.

"And do you know what the consequences of wasting Adventurer Kyle's power are?"

The king raised an eyebrow at the actions of his daughter.

"I know Your Majesty. That's why I have other requests besides making him the ruler of a territory."

The King's eyes then widened before hearing such a shocking thing from his daughter, such as,

"Please let Adventurer Kyle be my responsibility from now on."

That is, by saying that I will be in his responsibility──Ugh, what the hell is this?

While I was still confused by this Princess' words, the King slightly smiled towards us.

"Well, if Elijah wants it, then what if you make Adventurer Kyle your personal bodyguard?"

Ho~ turns out that what is meant by 'being in charge' is to make me a bodyguard apparently.

But, nah! We stop now!

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

"Woy ... Elijah, what are you doing?"

"Be quiet! You know I had a really hard time talking to His Majesty?"

"That's not what I mean!"

Ah, this is getting a little troublesome.

Then, ugh ... My sword and also my armor automatically had to be replaced to be compatible with those worn by my comrades.

And it's kind of hard to get until I get used to this lightweight model armor.

"Congratulations on your new position (Knight). Then I'm sorry I had to involve you in all this. You know, my father really needs a lot of strength right now to fight the demon lord."

"That's true, but why should I?"

"Yes, why, huh?"

It was as if not knowing the answer when Elijah had guessed correctly that it was because I had an unusual power ... I breathed in his next words.

"I can't keep going in the capital to be a knight like this."

"I know, that's why I've asked my father for permission to let you go outside the capital."

"Really?"

Elijah nodded his head.

"But on one condition."

When I listened to his terms──I firmly shook my head.

"How could you possibly stay at my place?!"

Well, I know it's impossible.

I mean Elijah said that he asked his father to allow him to disguise himself as an ordinary resident, then during that period he would conduct a secret investigation about life in the city and live in my house.

"Don't this work benefit you? You can work as usual, then your job to escort me is just to accompany me to go around the city."

This, instead of me a little wonder or how. It was good that the king granted this daughter's wish, being left to sleep in someone else's house as well!

If it was me who was in his position, then I would have directly slapped my face before giving the green light at the request.

"How's it?"

"If you don't have a problem with that, then I'll take it."

I'm shaking my head.

After all, I also don't mind as long as Elijah doesn't say anything about his identity in public.

Also, ignoring that matter, this Princess who had helped me from getting entangled in royal affairs.

This was better than having to serve the King as the ruler of the territory. And I hate to be tied to something that will make my freedom disappear.

Well, since he already bothered to do it, I might just need to go with the flow.

"Then we're going home now, have you prepared your things?"

"I haven't. But, can't we go to your house tomorrow by horse-drawn carriage?"

I shook my head.

"No, we're going to go home instantly now."

Ignoring Elijah who still did not understand the meaning of my words.

"Well ... You'll find out after packing all your stuff."

After saying that, in some time I will see Elijah who has brought several large bags containing some general cargo such as clothes and a few objects to where I stand.

"Oi, yes ... Isn't that a jewel?"

"I know, hmmm ... Don't want to tell me why I took her."

I smiled awkwardly before asking him to extend his hand. Secrets of the girls~

"Well, because it's gonna be a shock."

"Hey, don't say anything unreasonable."

What he meant by unreasonable would be a shocking thing to look at, because after I said the name of a certain skill like [Teleportation], it would be surprising, there will be a magic circle that appears under my feet before sucking us into──Whoaaa!
