I sent Sarah on so errands, so she was currently not attending to .
If she had been present, then this Kurt fellow would not have had direct contact with . So, in a way, I was sowhat excused.
'Yep! I did nothing wrong!'
Once I shalessly satiated my conscience, I resud my 'Hero Vibe' and addressed my subject with the dignity expected of soone in my position.
"So, what is it you wanted to say?" My eyes narrowed at the middle-aged man as he trembled before .
He was probably lost in the magnificence of my room.
'It's not anything fancy—just a large room filled with a bunch of stuff from my old world. It almost makes feel like I'm back ho too...' I reveled in my comfort.
For example, I brought my television, my ga console, my bookshelf—basically everything that could be recognized as my property from my previous world.
As a result, even though my ho was larger than the others, it was stocked with so many things that I didn't seem to notice how good I had it.
"Y-yes. We spotted three persons heading in this direction. They're running, so they seem to be in a hurry to reach here."
"Any chance their goal is sowhere else?"
"I don't think so. They're specifically targeting our direction. Plus, there's no other residence in this vicinity."
"Hmmm, I see..." My tone was collected, but...
'What the heck?! What have we done to deserve this kind of attention? What do these strangers want with us now?!'
I knew all the tis of peace we had were too good to be true.
'Has the universe finally decided to punish ?'
"W-what should we do, Hero? We chose not to ring the bell because their numbers do not warrant a state of ergency." Kurt spoke with a trembling tone.
Did he really think I would chastise him for his actions?
"That was an excellent decision. You made the right call."
"A-ah! Thank you, Hero!"
I could see his face blushing, and honestly... that creeped out a little.
"Go speak to Lucy. Give her the details. She'll confirm your report by taking a look from the Watchtower."
The man nodded instantly, astounded by the wisdom I displayed.
"Tell her I leave the formation of defenses to her. Once everything is ready, let be inford."
Truth be told, the potential intruders could end up not being enemies. In that case, I had to ensure the asures we took weren't too severe.
"Let it be a mild welco. If they choose to use force, then... so be it."
"Understood! I will carry out your command with absolute fervency!" The man bowed, and then scurried away afterward.
I was initially uncomfortable at the idea of having people old enough to be my parents accord so much respect and reverence, but it had pretty much grown on at this point.
I was the Hero, so I just had to deal with it.
"Now, then... let's see what the problem is exactly." Glancing at my bedside, I spotted my television remote—among other gadgets.
I turned on the television with the remote, watching the thing display the last ani I was watching in my downti.
'A-ah, no. Not now!'
The Ani was paused, but I didn't want the temptation of watching it when I had sothing more important to do.
Thanks to having a couple of Solar Panels constantly charged by the Sun's concentrated rays, I had access to electricity.
Even back on Earth, I was always a fan of clean energy.
It took so ti to sort out the wiring problem, but it eventually worked out. The whole town could finally enjoy the glorious power of Light Bulbs.
'Alright, back to topic!'
I quickly changed the channel and switched to a different 'Source'.
'CCTV. Yep! That's the stuff!'
My Television screen instantly showed sothing different.
It was live footage from the Watchtower itself!
One of the advancents I made in this new world was introducing modern technology to make things better for .
I installed security cams in strategic places around our settlent. That way, I could better observe many things from the comfort of my ho.
'They cost a good amount of Karmic Value, but their functions are well worth it...'
Not only did I get to see everything I wanted from a comfortable space, but the people revered more since they literally thought I was omnipresent and omniscient.
I could simply ntion what happened at one location, even though I wasn't present there. The question of 'How did he know?!' would eventually get chalked down to being just that powerful.
As long as I could observe everything—even the sight from the Watchtower from my room—I could better understand what we were facing.
"A-ah, so those are the three figures approaching us..." I murmured, looking at them run through the wilderness.
They were still a far distance off, and it was getting dark since it was evening, so I couldn't exactly make out the details.
Still...
'Don't they look human?'
[System Recognition]
~Asa~
~Gu~
~Liebert~
[They Are Not Enemies]
"Ohhh, nice one, System!" I already had a feeling they weren't harmful.
[No, you didn't.]
"I-in any case, I better stop all the panic before things get out of hand."
Since they were here, perhaps my weapons were finally ready. I suddenly felt guilty for doubting Zabdel and the Adventurer City.
'I don't see any sac with them, though. Do they have it stored in a Spacial Ring? No, there's no way they have that technology...'
I decided not to ponder too much about where they had the items stored.
The fact that they were hurriedly coming to my doorstep ant they had realized their mistakes. I had to be generous enough to forgive them.
"Alright, then. I should get ready for their arrival, shouldn't I?"
Sarah would be back from her errand soon. She was going to help set up the perfect welco party for our guests.
'Alright! Should I flex a little?'
