Chapter 14
Title and Koopong
Fortunately, when I wrote a post, that impersonating bastard stopped running wild. Before the elder sent a selfie, I hurriedly dug another post.
Water Ability User Gallery
Title: I don't know well either
Author: Ruler of Water
Content: What would be good for verification? If you tell me, I'll take a video and upload it.
And the 1000-year-old Elf's photo is fine.
WaterGalller1: You don't have to be polite, Gallery Owner-nim.
Ruler of Water: It's really fine.
WaterGalller1: Then how about my cane I'm still using?
Ruler of Water: No, it's really fine!
WaterGalller2: Is it possible to generate about 30 house-sized water masses?
Ruler of Water: If I do it outside, someone might see, so please ask for something possible inside the house.
WaterGalller2: Inside the house.... Is the living room spacious?
Ruler of Water: The living room size is sufficient.
WaterGalller2: What is the maximum number of water masses you can generate to fill that space?
Ruler of Water: Just a moment.

Title: It's like this
Author: Ruler of Water
Content: (Video showing a living room with only a sofa visible, then suddenly thousands of water masses fill up to the ceiling at once)
Roughly like this, do you need anything else?
WaterGalller1: It was real. This is High-Rank. To think I'd see High-Rank Water with my own eyes.
WaterGalller2: It's such an honor to see a High-Rank Water Ability User before I die, Gallery Owner-nim....
WaterGalller3: Do you really not need the cane?
WaterGalller4: Among Lieutenant-Rank Water Users, isn't there anyone close to becoming High-Rank? Is it completely impossible for Lieutenant-Rank?
WaterGalller2: I am a Lieutenant-Rank Elf close to High-Rank who has lived 1000 years, but without ‘Wish’, thousands at once like that is impossible.
WaterGalller1: How is the physical ability of High-Rank Water? I'm so curious because we hear so much disparagement about not being suitable for combat.

Title: Hard inside the house so I came to the roof
Author: Ruler of Water
Content: (Video showing a slight jump from a camera angle showing shoes, then jumping up dozens of meters high and filming small houses below his feet)
WaterGalller1: ???????
WaterGalller2: I dare to greet the Gallery Owner-nim.
WaterGalller3: No, what is this? Even replaying it several times, it's just a slight hop, right?
WaterGalller4: Gallery Owner-nim, your location is exposed in the video. Wouldn't it be better to delete it?
Ah, I forgot. I deleted it immediately.

Title: Gallery Owner was certainly High-Rank Water
Author: WaterGalller
Content: There's no black cow who doubted and didn't watch the video, right?
WaterGalller1: What did he show? I didn't doubt but didn't see.
WaterGalller: Lolololol pitiful~
WaterGalller1: Ah please.
WaterGalller2: Gallery Owner just hopped slightly and went up dozens of meters into the sky.
WaterGalller3: I saw something more surprising. He landed from that height but no sound. Why is this?
WaterGalller: Dunno? Do you know what a High-Rank Water Ability User is like? It's the first time in history?
WaterGalller3: Gallery Owner-nim please teach us.
WaterGalller: Gallery Owner-nim I beg you too.
Water Ability User Gallery
Title: Ah, about that
Author: Ruler of Water
Content: Mist is water too, right? If you turn your body into mist, weight disappears.
WaterGalller1: ????????
WaterGalller2: What do you mean?
WaterGalller3: Make your body into mist?
WaterGalller4: What does turning your body into mist mean?
WaterGalller5: Professor, the pace is too fast.

Title: Mist transformation is
Author: Ruler of Water
Content: (Video showing only the palm turning into mist, then dropping a coin on it and it passing through the palm)
Like this.
WaterGalller1: ??????????????
WaterGalller2: ????????????
WaterGalller3: ???????????
Suddenly only question mark comments are being posted, is this impossible at High-Rank? Since there hasn't even been a High-Rank in history, I can't know what is what either.

Title: Uh? Gallery Owner-nim seems young?
Author: WaterGalller
Content: I don't think a 130-year-old Soi's palm can be that taut, anyone know?
WaterGalller1: It looked fresh, is this also because of High-Rank? Water Ability Users all have good skin.
WaterGalller2: Actually isn't he young?
WaterGalller1: No way~
WaterGalller2: Gallery Owner-nim, should I give you my photo? I still have it.
WaterGalller3: Me too!
WaterGalller4: There was a reason you declined the 1000-year-old Elf photo.
Ding!
A PM arrived. Don't press it! It must be hacking or something! My reason! Please stop! The mark that I checked it shouldn't appear!!!
(Photo of an Elf looking about twenty years old, topless, making a shy expression)
Ah!!!
Water Ability User Gallery
Title: Gallery Owner-nim saw it!
Author: WaterGalller
Content: Was it okay? Hehe
Ruler of Water: I deleted it.
WaterGalller: Hing.
I tried to stop the shady guy impersonating me from taking unjust profits, but unintentionally I took them.
Ti-ro-ri-ro~ Ti-ro-ri-ro-ri.
Startled by the doorbell, I deleted the photo I was looking at.
Yes! Good job! Let's not have lingering feelings! I won't take such shady profits just because I'm awesome!
“Ye~s. Who is it.”
Composing myself and checking the intercom, I saw Beastkin wearing Imperial uniforms.
“It is a message from Her Highness Imperial Princess Katerina! Saklasi Stan, come out and receive the Royal Edict!”
Imperial Princess Katerina? From this morning?
“Yes. Understood.”
Opening the door, about ten Beastkin were lined up.
When I came out and closed the door, they laid a red rug in front of it, and a person who looked like a high-ranking administrator stood opposite me.
Looks more like a wolf Beastkin than a dog. Looks completely different from the Chihuahua-resembling Deputy General Manager. He has a large build and glasses suit him quite well.
He began to speak in front of me with a dignified voice mixed with a low wolf growl.
“Saklasi Stan, receive the Royal Edict of Her Highness Imperial Princess Katerina Drebovna Drebana!”
“Yes!”
I stepped forward hiding my bewildered feeling.
“I came as Her Highness the Imperial Princess's representative. Kneel on one knee, bow your head, and receive the sword I give with both hands.”
I did as told. The solemn atmosphere, giving a sword in a place like this. Because I could guess what that meant.
“Saklasi Stan! As the first High-Rank Water Ability User—”
The wolf Beastkin administrator recited the long content written in the Royal Edict, and my guess was exactly right.
“...Hereby, along with the title of Baron, grant the authority of Koopong Ruler of Busanosk.”
“Yes?”
Ruler of where? I'm a loading and unloading helper there?
I'm out of it so I don't know what happened. For now, receiving the sword as the wolf Beastkin said, he said something or other,
“Congratulations. Baron Stan.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Beyond a simple title, I was surprised at becoming the Koopong Ruler.
How are things turning out on just the 5th day in another world?
The Imperial Family had already identified me as a High-Rank Water Ability User. Because they couldn't have known about my gallery activity just now and come this quickly.
Did extinguishing the forest fire already reach the Imperial Family's ears?
What work should a Ruler do? Now the helper work wasn't hard but boring. There are more than one or two things to ask the General Manager tomorrow.
***
Having breakfast in the still unfamiliar house and going to work at Koopong, the General Manager, whom I originally rarely saw, was waiting for me from the entrance.
“You have come. Ruler-nim.”
“Ah, yes. You heard the news already. What should I do now?”
“Let's find out step by step. Her Highness Imperial Princess Katerina created a new Vice-Ruler position. Appointing me to that position, I have come to assist Ruler-nim's operation.”
“Then first, I want to make the conditions for Sois a bit better. I will find out what there is directly on site as I used to do. Since I don't know operation work well, would it be okay to leave it to Vice-Ruler-nim for the time being?”
“Understood! Ruler-nim! I will do my utmost!”
Entering the camp, Serin, who was looking this way, approached with eyes wide open.
“You became the Ruler here?”
“Uh, it turned out that way? I became a Baron. I don't know what is what either.”
“Reserve Manager Saklasi~ Did my dream come true-yo?”
“From now on, should I call you Manager Little Brother Saklasi-nim? Should I?”
“Still, it's fortunate you're not leaving. No, it is fortunate.”
“What? Why the honorifics? Because I'm a noble? You can do as you usually do.”
“If I do that to a noble and someone sees, big trouble-yo~ I like this-yo~”
“As expected~ You don't swagger just because you became a noble~ Still, a noble shouldn't do that. It can look like ignoring the Imperial Family.”
“If you really want to talk informally without reserve, you can talk in my room where no one is around. Manager Little Brother Saklasi-nim.”
As soon as I said to do as before, only the honorifics remained, but the treatment became exactly the same as before.
***
“That younger brother eventually got cast out?”
“They say he took his wife and child down to the countryside in the frontier to live.”
“Stupid bastard. Acting high and mighty saying he became a Count of the Empire by being greedy for his station, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest. When that guy was barely only a Koopong Ruler. He acted as if all of Busanosk was his.”
“Is it okay to leave the second young master like that?”
“Just leave that stupid bastard alone. He twisted his own life. The important thing is a Soi bastard sat in that seat?”
“Yes. The Imperial Family was hyping him up as a High-Rank Water Ability User.”
“The High Elves must have gone crazy.”
“Those represent my feelings exactly. Your Excellency Count.”
“Crazy about a Soi kid and what? High-Rank Water Ability User? Are those monster High Elves who live forever looking for a man now? And a Soi who can't even live long at that?”
“Wouldn't that be why even more so? Since they would get bored if he lives too long.”
“Haha! True words indeed. As expected of you. You say what I want to say for me!”
“I am honored. Your Excellency Count.”
“Since the business partner has changed, send a message to that Soi bastard to visit in person.”
“I obey your command. Your Excellency Count.”
***
“Manager-nim!”
The Vice-Manager who had just left returned.
“I have something urgent to discuss. Would you go to the Manager's office?”
The story I heard there was,
The person the former Manager traded with was the former Manager's older brother. The content was that if we want to receive goods at the existing price, show sincerity by visiting in person.
“This is very rude treatment!”
“What happens if we cut the deal?”
“30% of the goods coming into the camp here will be missing, so there seems to be a disruption in operation.”
“Is there any other information on this person?”
“He is a High-Rank Electric Ability User in the Raigen Kingdom and a Count.”
“It would be difficult to refuse. Since it's company business, it wouldn't be embezzlement to book a flight with expenses, right?”
“Yes. It is not. As an attendant, I will accompany you.”
“They serve in-flight meals on the way, right?”
