I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

"So, you understand as well..." Sarah Lyniette's voice tickled Asa's ears, and her hand softly landed on her shoulder.

"All of this has only been possible because of 'him'. He saved us, just like he rescued Dulum, and he made this place a paradise. It's all thanks to his power."

Asa felt her heart racing ever so quickly as she thought of her first meeting with the Legendary Dragon Slayer.

She had been so impudent to him. Had she known he was this great a personality, would she have grovelled instead?

"Come, now. It's late already, and I'm sure you've had a very tiring trip."

Asa was brought out of her inner rollercoaster by Sarah's melodic voice.

"U-um, where are we going?"

"To have you freshened up, of course. We can't have you meeting 'him' in such a state."

Asa realized at this point, how drenched with sweat and dirt her body—and that of her comrades—was.

They had stepped upon such a clean, sacred place with filthy attires and dirty bodies. To be honest, it made her feel embarrassed.

'B-but...' Slowly, the little voice within Asa that told her about the urgency of the situation at Dulum became eroded.

She forgot about the urgency of their predicament. All she wanted to do at this point... was simply to please their amazing host.

"Lucy, I'll be taking them to the bathhouse now. Clothes have already been secured for them too. Please tell him we'll be done within the next hour." The Priestess slowly turned in the direction of the crimson warrior.

"Understood... though I reckon he already knows by now."

"True. But his vast amount of knowledge should not excuse us from performing our duties."

"Well said. I will deliver your message, then."

Lucy immediately left the three Adventurers, as well as the thirty people who served as her entourage.

As Asa watched Lucy go, she still could not help but feel awe and respect for the young girl.

It wasn't easy to reach the very pinnacle of one's race.

Lucy was among the handful of people who would ever attain that state. Yet, she held such reverence for another being.

It simply showed the magnitude of his power.

"Come now. Let's get you all freshened up."

Asa nodded and gulped, moving alongside her two companions, like loyal sheep.

Her lips moved, but words could not come out.

The further they walked, the more amazing sights she saw.

For example, the massive tower reaching as high as the clouds. It was too unbelievable, yet there it was—right before her eyes.

The architecture and organization of the settlement—if it could be called that at this point—was quite literally out of this world.

"This place is amazing... he really is unbelievable."

"Ufufufufu..." Soft laughter escaped Sarah's lips as Asa made her statement.

The laugh was not condescending in any way. But, it wasn't entirely that of agreement either.

"You have no idea. This is simply the Residential District. We have several other areas already."

"W-wha—?! For real?!"

Sarah nodded her head and smiled with confidence.

'N-no way! This place is already enough to put Dulum to shame. If there are other areas that are equally as amazing, then...'

At this point, Asa decided to let go of her common sense.

There was no use trying to think things through. All she could understand at this point was that she didn't understand much.

The Legendary Dragon Slayer was a being beyond fathoming.

'Ah, lest I forget...' The Adventurer glanced at Sarah with curious eyes.

"When you say freshening up, what do you mean?"

For a place in the wilderness, water was something of a luxury. She had heard that those who lived far away from civilization—especially in barren lands—had to travel to get necessaries like water and food.

This settlement had to classify as one of those places.

'I would have thought like that just some moments ago, but with all I've seen... I can't make any assumptions!' Asa's mind rang.

"Well, first of all, you will have a nice bath. Whether you want it warm or cool is entirely up to you, but I would recommend the warm bath."

"A-ah..." Asa was hearing it, but it sounded like a dream to her.

She glanced at her companions, but they were too dazed by the sight of the city to even pay attention to Sarah's words.

"After your bath, we'll give you a change of clothes too..."

Asa had just noticed, but the outfit Sarah was wearing—the same as Lucy and the other residents of this City—was very unique.

She had never seen such fabric before, and the embroidered effects on them were unbelievably complex.

Even the little kids in the city donned luxurious-looking outfits that put anything she had ever seen to shame.

'I heard the Merchant City has some amazing outfits, but I've never seen those before. Apparently, they are only for the richest members of society. That means they are super expensive...'

For even the littlest of kids to have amazing wears similar to the kind only attributed to the most prosperous, Asa could not even imagine the limits of the Legendary Dragon Slayer's wealth.

It was just as if the Legendary Dragon Slayer was a king—no, a god—with no bounds or limits.

"After you settle, we'll treat you to some food so you can feel refreshed."

"F-food?" The one who spoke up this time was Liebert.

At the same instant which he spoke, his stomach rumbled, telling everyone around him of his predicament.

"Yes. Food. Don't worry, and don't be impatient. I promise you'll be satisfied." Sarah smiled cutely, almost as if she didn't hear the growling of Liebert's tummy.

"Haha! I can't wait, miss." He laughed.

Asa's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. One of her Party Members ended up disgracing their group by acting in an unseemly manner.

'Still, I'm curious too... what kind of food we'll see...'

Everything she was seeing and heard was so surreal. Asa couldn't wait till she went through them all.

'And, when I'm done... I'll finally meet him.' The mental image of the Legendary Dragon Slayer appeared in Asa's mind as she made the thought.

He was perfection incarnate.
