Now, obviously they were a bit taken back by my strange name; however they loved the rest of what I said and they immediately erupted into cheers and claps. I was going to straight up steal Ains Ooal Gown from the Overlord MC, but I decided against it because he’s too cool to steal from and I wouldn’t want to do that to him.

After everyone eventually calmed down I went over to one person who looked particularly excited. This person was a scruffy looking skinny boy about 5’7 and if I had to guess I would say he was 14.

I got talking with this kid and it turns out he idolises me like he wants to be me and worships me. I have to admit it was pretty amusing. Just as I was getting into this I saw Rose out of the corner of my eye walking up to me with an angry look on her face.

When she finally got up to me she hit me as hard as she could at the back of my hard. Now, obviously I didn’t feel anything but I decided to do that classic anime moment and rub my head while saying “What was that for?!”

“For bullying my little brother, and as if that wasn’t bad enough you did it without him even knowing.”

In response to this, I went wide-eyed and yelled “Your little brother?!”

So yeah, it turns out the kid who worships me is Rose’s little brother and Rose hit me because she could see me giggling after every sentence. So due to finding out this surprising revelation I immediately apologised to both her oblivious brother and Rose.

Then I went on to talk to some other villagers and answer a few questions here and there. Then I realised it had been a few hours and was getting dark so I suggested to Rose that three of us (me, her and her brother whose name I now knew was James) go back to her house.

Also, luckily one of the villagers had gone out and killed all of the unconscious monsters with a spear (which was one of the few weapons they actually had) while they were still unconscious and managed to come back unharmed. I was quite happy whenI found this out and I could relax.

Another thing is, that it turns out the man who went out and killed them was also the strongest in the village with a power level of [15].

When we got back to the house I had a look around.Obviously I wasn’t expecting much since it wasn’t exactly a rich village, but still, all they had was an old table, 4 chairs, a stack of hay and a bed that was very similar to the one that I woke up on.

Rose’s explanation for their similarity was that it was the cheapest one available to them so all the villagers had the same one’s in their houses to save costs. Which I understood due to the village being so small and not that much money. 

In the morning I noticed that Rose’s brother had a power level of [12]. When I saw this I decided to pull him aside and ask him about it. When I did he told me that he trained every day and did extra farming work and manual labour whenever he could.

He told me he did this because his dad (who has now passed away) was his hero and he would do things like this all the time and he wanted to be just like him. His parents were both ex iron level adventurer's who gave up that life to have Rose and settle down.

When they decided that, they moved back to their home village (this one) from E-rantel because they knew it was peaceful and loved it anyway. They grew up there together loved, each other and moved to the city when they were both 17 to make their living as adventurer’s .

They knew they could do this because Alexander (the father) had trained in combat his whole life; and Mary (the mother) had an above average talent for learning magic.

This made me happy to know that my Rose was from a nice, secure and talented family.

Looking at Rose’s little brother I wondered and was impressed that he managed to get his power level to [12]. That must take dedication and that impressed me and I was happy to have a fanboy I’m not gonna lie. It was a great feeling.

Then I decided to train him, help him become stronger. My reasons for this are: he will be able to protect Rose when I I’m not there, he can protect the village and he can protect himself which in turn will give Rose peace of mind. I couldn't have Rose worrying about him all the time because it would get in th eway of my plans.

So having made up my mind I said to my fanboy “I’m gonna train you.”

When I said this James’ face went blank processing what I just said and as he slowly, ever so slowly realised what it was that I said his face lit up and I could have sworn that he jumped a bit as he yelled ecstatically at the top of his lungs

“WHAAAAAT?” With this anyone who wasn’t already awake in the village definitely was now. Hearing this I smiled widely and chuckled a little.

I then turned and put my hand up at the side of my head, just above my shoulder.

“Come on, James, let’s go, you’re going to become stronger.” I said with a slightly evil smile creeping onto my face and plans slowly brewing in my mind. 

“Yes master!” The 14 year old boy said enthusiastically while following me with his eyes twinkling. Oblivious to my plans.
