4 Oops!

Inside the spacious room, 4 people are sitting.

On one side is a man with jet black hair and simple armor.

It’s Ren and the basic armor God gave him before he fell from the heavens. He intended to use his status power and strengthen these armor, but Ren never really got the chance to yet.

Then in front of Ren is an oval-shaped table, a cup of tea was put in front of Ren.

On the other side of the table is another sofa with 3 people sitting staring at Ren with sweat on their forehead.

Ren tilted his head a little as he was confused why they are so tensed all of a sudden.

From the left, these three people are Ana the secretary, Arnold the guild master, and Yan the vice master. The receptionist earlier already left after leading Ren into the room.

「Okay…why did you call me in here?」

Ren broke the awkward silence as he’s the least tensed person in the room.

Normally, the one who is invited is the one that’s nervous. But the roles are reversed this time around as the other three people are looking at Ren with uneasy eyes.

「We’re the one who should be asking you that…」

Arnold, the guild master, spoke to Ren with a low pitched voice.

「What do you mean?」

「I mean that, why is an existence like you inside this Kingdom?」

‘Existence, you say…’, thought Ren as he feels weird that he called him an ‘existence’ but not a person.

Unable to comprehend the situation, Ren answered in a troubled manner. But Ren isn’t nervous, he knows he can get out easily with his status power if anything comes up.

「Well, I helped Yuka, she showed me around since I came here for the first time」

「Why are you here in the first place?」

「Uhh…I’m a wanderer, I go everywhere」

Ren has no intention to state that he fell from heaven, but he has a feeling that these people would even believe in that right now if he said he was from heaven. Their faces are just too cramped.

「Then what is your next move now that you are already in the kingdom?」

「Uhh…find an inn…make money…and live?」

‘Though I won’t say how will I live my life’, Ren quietly added so in his mind but didn’t voice it out loud. In the end, he just aims to mess with the world and see how everyone reacts.

Why should one become a Hero and live yet another stiff life right after you escaped one?

Ren believes that a Hero is just a dog for humanity. They fight with their life on the line, receive a lump of gold and maybe a Princess if that Hero is lucky enough.

Some even die during fights with demons, some lose their minds and some carry life-long injuries.

That isn’t something Ren will do after being given this godly power of controlling the status.

In his mind, he’d rather live with a harem of beautiful women and watch over how the world runs back and forth because of his conducts. It’s a carefree and entertained life of freedom.

That said, Ren didn’t lie when he said he’ll “live”.

「I can’t understand your motive……but you don’t have the eyes of someone who’s lying……」

「You know what? You people are the suspicious ones here. You brought me here and talked nonsense」

A little irritated, Ren pointed at Arnold face and made a remark with an annoyed tone.

The people sitting before him looked and nodded at each other. Soon, Arnold slightly bowed his head.

「I do apologize for that. Then now for the reason we called you here」

Ren fixed his posture instinctively to listen to what Arnold has to say.

「First, it might be late, but I am Arnold, the guild master」

「I’m Ana, his secretary」

「…and I’m Yan, the vice master」

Arnold is a bulky man clad in armor. There’s a big scar on his forehead.

‘Seems like it’s his trophy’, thought Ren seeing how the scar gloriously settled itself on his forehead.

Then the image of a vice master completely vanishes as one look at Yan.

He’s tall and slender, his hair is quite long and especially, his ears are slightly pointed. They peeped out from inside his blond hair. A half elf it is.

This person gives off the image of a mage the moment you look at him.

In contrast to both these tired looking men, Ana is a matured and cool beauty.

Her short black hair caught Ren’s attention as Ren was used to looking at black-haired girl back on Earth. Her eyes being blue gives of the impression of a half-blood child of different nationalities parents.

(Hmm……her breasts are pretty small though……but that’s fine since she’s cute)

All in all, Ren judged Ana as a beautiful woman though her body doesn’t carry this energetic and athletic healthiness like Yuka’s.

It is safe to deem Ana as a charming housewife.

「Then please take a look at this」

Arnold brought out a crystal ball and placed it on the table right in front of Ren and continued

This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

「This thing tests one’s aptitude in magic. For example, when Yan put his hand on it……」

Yan placed his hand on the crystal ball and the thing glowed brilliantly. Ren admired the beautiful shade of bright green projecting from the crystal ball.

「This means he is very compatible to using magic, also his magical power is much stronger than a commoner since it glowed really bright as you saw just now」

After Yan removed his hand, Arnold explained the phenomenon. Ren nodded as he thought this invention is cool.

Then Arnold put his hand on it, and the ball glowed dimly. No, it almost did not glow at all.

Arnold also explained that this means he’s not good with magic.

「Then now, please place your hand on it」

Curious, Ren immediately placed his hand on the crystal ball.

As soon as his hand touched the ball, it cracked, emitted explosive blue radiant and blew itself up into pieces.

The whole room was wrapped in silence as the other three people stared at Ren with feared eyes. They seemed to have seen a demon king of some sort. Their facial expressions were not calm at all.

「T-This is why……」

「Huh?」

「Earlier today, the Kingdom’s barrier picked up the signal of an inhuman amount of magical power. The royal palace actually thought we were under-attacked by an ancient dragon and prepared all means of countermeasures while not letting the civilians fall into panic……」

Ren slowly caught up to what Arnold is trying to explain as he continued

「And then, the moment you entered the Guild building, everyone here almost fainted because of the pressure created by a massive source of magical power」

‘Oh that’s why all of them looked at us’, Ren realized this and pulled up his own status to see if there’s anything strange while continued to listen to Arnold

「You. You are a dangerous being, just being near you like this already made us sweat. My instincts are screaming to me saying that I should abandon this country and run right now」

As Ren looked through his own status, he screamed a big “OOPS!” in his mind.

Looking at Ren’s stats, his Intelligence is still at 6000 after helping Yuka. He was distracted by Yuka’s beauty that he completely forgot to tune down the number despite him promising himself to be careful with the numbers.

(Urgh……no wonder the people on the street was so damn wary of me, it was so uncomfortable being looked at like some kind of absurd monster)

As Ren recollected the information he had in his head, he realized yet again his mistake.

While walking with Yuka, Ren inspected the status of people around. Their Intelligence is averagely around 100 for a commoner, 160 for an adventurer, 220 for a mage and 380 for Yan, who is an expert at magic.

That’s why Ren, the person who has the number 6000 in his Intelligence column, was feared as a monster.

During the time fighting the orcs, Ren thought that it’s better to have spare than not enough when it comes to magical power, that’s why he set the number as really big so he wouldn’t get any recoil of performing that advanced spell.

(Oops……I guess I shouldn’t have stared at Yuka’s tits……they distracted my brain)

Tuning the number back down to 200, Ren spoke to the people in front of him with a troubled tone

「Well…how’s it? I suppressed my magical power」

「Y-Yeah…this is more relaxing…we were on the verge of fainting all this time talking to you this close」

Ren made a mental note that Intelligence stats can increase one’s magical presence and told himself that he needs at least a skill to conceal this or he’ll inform everyone where he’s going all the time.

「Right. Then problems solved, can I register as an adventurer and start living my life peacefully yet?」

「What? Not a single problem has been solved. Though you suppressed it, you’re still originally too absurd」

Tch. Ren quietly clicked his tongue as he expected this to not end so easily.

Ren wants to stay low and observe things before he tried to pull off any kind of jokes on the world. But with this he’ll at least be known to this Kingdom.

(I need to be more careful from now on……)

Casting the problems aside, Ren turned back to Arnold and company to hear what they have to say.

「……what do we have to do so you won’t rampage?」

‘So a peace treaty huh…’, thinking that these people are pitiful, Ren gave the matter some thoughts.

Since they can’t get rid of Ren no matter how strong their forces are, they’re starting a negotiation.

That much is understandable, it’s just human nature to try everything to protect their lives.

The question now would be what can Ren get out of this chance.

「Hmm……how about this」

Opening his mouth after thinking, Ren suggested an idea.
