I'm Actually Not Overpowered!
Chapter 88 The Legendary Dragon Slayer Is Also The Hero?! [Pt 1]

The Adventurers had initially been on edge.

However, after experiencing the pleasures of the Dragon Slayer's City, they became quite mellow. After enjoying their meal, all three of them were delirious with ecstasy.

The brainwashing was complete.

"Now, then. Since you have all gotten enough food and rest... shall we go?"

"U-uh? Go where?" Even Asa had forgotten her mission as she sat behind the dining table, grateful she got to experience the wonderful mean even once in her life.

"To see 'him', of course. Isn't that why you're here?" The Priestess cocked her head and her warm-hearted smile caused Asa to snap out of her confusion.

"A-ah, yes! You're right!"

The young lady quickly snapped her comrades from their embarrassing behavior, and before long they re-assumed their serious demeanor.

"We're ready!" Serious expressions now covered their faces.

Even though they had just fed like gluttons a few moments ago—and Asa even had some grains of rice on her chin—they all gave off professional vibes.

Sarah laughed internally, wondering where all the tension came from.

'Sam told us to feed them these meals as an experiment. If they took it with such gumption, then the market is sure to receive our food well...'

Fortunately, their attires had been enchanted with Runes, so they didn't get messy despite the crude way the Adventurers ate.

"Alright, then. But first, please use these napkins to clean up your face—especially your chin. Some of you have food stuck there." Sarah brought some soft white items for the three.

"A-ah. Thank you... very much!"

The Adventurers received the item with unfettered gratitude, and after they were done, the three nodded at one another with readiness.

"Alright, then..." Sarah stood from her seat, followed by the same actions from the Part.

Their eyes were alit with the message that burned deep within their hearts, and a strong sense of duty permeated their faces. The Priestess, who could sense their passion, nodded with even more satisfaction.

'They now realize how amazing Sam is. That's good.'

Her mission as the Hero's harbinger was done. It was now time for Sam to have the main show.

"... Follow me."

"A-a... Amazing!"

The three Adventurers must have had the same thoughts, because they all uttered the same words as they laid eyes on the residence of the settlement's leader.

They marveled at its blue and white ambiance. The surrounding lighting also made the building look like the center of attention. These three had seen the Guest House and thought it to be the greatest piece of architecture they had seen, but this one trumped it by far.

It was smaller than the Guest House—sure—but the way it was designed seemed like a palace, rather than a residence.

The Adventurers had no idea, but to the Hero, it served as both.

As they waited beyond the red carpet that peeked out of the inner recesses, Sarah stepped forward and conversed with the esteemed Host.

Manners demanded that she knocked and then stated her business before even thinking of entering the Hero's sacred residence. As she was about to knock, though, a deep voice pierced the air.

"It seems you've brought the guests, Sarah..."

The sudden voice of the Hero made the young Priestess stop dead in her tracks. Her body instantly tingled, and she felt a wave of both surprise and astonishment at the only man she could call Hero.

'H-he knew already?!'

Sarah wasn't the only one who was amazed, though.

The three Adventurers were already bowing at this point. It was clear that the Legendary Dragon Slayer could see them clearly.

Still, none of them understood how he was able to sense them so clearly. Not only that, but his voice sounded so loud and deep. It also sounded close by—almost as if the Hero was right there with them.

'He's not just omniscient but also omnipresent as well?! I-is that even possible? Have I really been underestimating him all this time?!' Asa's eyes bulged, and she found her heart racing once again.

Fear, as well as anticipation, coursed through her body as she waited in her bowing state.

"Very well. Come in." His voice boomed once more.

For a few seconds, there was no motion. The Adventurers, as well as the Priestess, were still trying to grasp the profound nature of the Hero's power. However, the more they tried, the more these people realized that his depths were too great to fathom.

Ultimately, they would have to give up on the venture.

"Yes. Right away!" Sarah snapped out of her dazed state, turning to look at the flabbergasted guests of the Hero.

"It is time." Her tone was precise—sharp enough to return the attention of the hopeless Adventurers to her.

"A-ah! Alright!"

"O-okay..."

"My stomach is rumbling..."

And so, Sarah opened the door that separated absolute power from the rest of the world. The three prepared themselves and ventured in.

Deep down, they must have all known how this experience would change their perception of reality.

Nothing would ever remain the same!

'Alright! Let's not mess this up!'

A smile formed on my face as I saw the trembling Adventurers enter my abode.

This Hero sanctuary actually had two major areas. One was my residence—the comfort of my room and whatnot. The second, however, was where I currently occupied.

My Throne Room!

'I was able to see them through the surveillance camera I placed outside. And that microphone/speaker performance was epic! Hahaha! I'm pretty sure I surprised them!'

Thankfully, a concept like Inventory existed, so I could return my tools without anyone knowing. It was amazing how much better I was getting with theatrics.

And so, being pleased with myself, I watched as my dear Adventurers approached with shivering forms. It seemed Sarah showed them quite a bit, so all of them were mellow.

I could tell they were admiring the Throne Room scenario I had arranged specifically for times like this. Having them appreciate the beauty and splendor it represented made me happy that all my time and efforts weren't in vain.

"You are now standing before the one known to you as the Legendary Dragon Slayer..." Sarah began her lines.

'Yep! Yep! That's right! This never gets old!'

"... But he is more than that. Here, seated in his majesty, is none other than the prophesied Hero himself!"
