Overpower Manager
Chapter 38's
"Claude! Clean them!"
"Okay, Master!"
While I've called Claude and told him to overcome some enemies up ahead.
Well, I'm gonna head over to Elijah's place to find the girl trying to lift something big.
"Kyle, please!"
"God ..."
While I took over the wood that hit something that was held by Elijah earlier.
"Mother ... Uaaa ... I'm ..."
"Yosh, you're gonna be okay now."
After that brief incident.
I threw the ruins at the bandits after making sure that Elijah with whom he helped was within a safe distance.

Ignoring the notice of the defeated bandits, the child held by Elijah began to revolt.
"I want mom! Uaaa! Mommy, daddy! Where's you!"
"Looks like he lost them."
Turning to the dead body not far from the site, Elijah hugged the child tightly and tried to calm him down.
I sighed seeing that what turned out to be true was a woman who was known to be the mother of the child.
"How now?"
"I don't know, anyway we have to defeat these bandits right now and take this kid to safety."
I shook my head, then used [Teleportation] to bring the child to my inn.
Of course in this case I have to tell someone.
After explaining the situation to Aisha.
"I want you to take me back there now!"
Elijah who had brought all his combat equipment urged me to meet his demands.
But before that happens.
"Well, since this is quite a serious matter, what if this time we rely on your knight army?"
"There's no time!"
"Excuse me?"
Elijah then explains that the royal knight's army only moves specifically to deal with the demon lord's army attacks.
While the village was attacked by humans, it did not belong to that category, so they would not press the request of defeating the bandits who invaded the place.
"Oi, yes ... Even in this situation you are choosing your opponent? What about your citizens' safety?"
"That's why I'm going there now even without my troops!"
Because he insisted, I could only shake my head, and at the end of it this would be a fight where 3 people vs 150 bandits.
Surprising number, isn't it? For such an armed group that possessed quite a terrifying strength.
...----------------...
"Aragh!"
While I've handled it up to 100 people.

"Master, it looks like this is all done."
Okay, since Claude had already taken care of them as much as about 50 others while Elijah was busy with the business of helping the citizens evacuate.
It turns out that this Princess is a good person.
"Oi, are you hurt?"
"It's not a problem ..."
Since Elijah ignored me, then I will continue what I have not done after successfully defeating the attacking bandit group.
Right, take the loot item.
I will get about 25 million gold from the bandits, including weapons in the form of swords and other equipment that can certainly be sold.
Especially for gold, apparently it was money that resulted from depriving the victim of wealth.
Well, since this was produced in a way that was not right, then I will hand it over to Elijah.
"No, just give it all to the victims."
I'm shaking my head.
"Then next."
"Okay, we'll report this to the king."
"Oi, wait! Waita minute!! Wasn't the purpose we came here was to──"
"Hurry up, I don't have much time left!"
...----------------...
"So, is it really like that?"
Is that really what he said? Huh uh?
For some reason after we arrived at the palace, not the concern that was obtained, it was precisely the indifferent response issued by this man before me.
"One of your villages just got attacked, you know?! Why don't you move your knight army?"
"..."
Because he's just quiet, well ... My neck was suffocating as the king said, "It's not something the royal knights should do, after all we can leave that matter to the adventurer guild."
"Ugh, so your troops are just a decoration apparently."
Trash, I was hoping to get some help after we came all the way to the palace at this moment. But what we get is an outrageous thing to hear.
"I'm sorry, Kyle. I should have been the one who was angry, you represented me doing it."
I sighed while shaking my head.
"But I thought my actions would put me to death."
Yes, yelling at the king in front of a lot of people, well ... Isn't that something that is a grave offense now? My fate has been determined by what I did!
"No, although you'll be sentenced heavily. But I will defend you."
"Seriously?"
...----------------...
And the day for the court came.
I will be invited into the palace hall to be guarded by two people on each side.
I could have escaped with [Teleportation].
But ignoring that, maybe I can use the skill later after listening to the punishment the king will give.
Who knows, maybe I can get some relief.
"An adventurer Kyle, even though you're a hero. But still, yelling at the king in front of so many people is a very inappropriate thing to do."
"Really, right?"
I smiled bitterly at this.
So, what was considered a hero when I asked for help from the king was not hanged.
"Therefore, I will decide a punishment for you."
King Albert turned his head towards his daughter, Princess Elijah who was about to come forward while holding a paper that looks official──ugh, what he intends to do──
"And in this way, the Adventurer Kyle will be sentenced to the harshest punishment must serve the royal side as a soldier. Right, the one in charge of protecting the kingdom from the threat of the demon lord."
While everyone in the room started whispering to each other.
My mouth now resembles the shape of an "O" while Elijah is still continuing his sentence.
"And a little extra, I will be watching him directly and provide the resources needed in this job, so!"
Ee~ this is not too, FORCING?!!
