Heroes and Machine Girls Looking at Profiles

51 – Relics of the Republic

Prince Freud called the warrior Kenji.

I tried to talk to him about his duties, responsibilities… And glory as a warrior in the hope of persuading him, but he did not give in.

In the end, he talked to him about various rewards.

Gold and silver treasures, high-ranking officials, beautiful women, etc… Rewards that everyone will like.

The hero Kenji seemed a little offended, but he couldn’t make him nod his head.

The unfortunate thing was that this side was shown first.

He instead laughed at all the cajoling and threats.

“I don’t mind if I quit being a hero and get out of here, right?”

If this is the case, I have nothing to say.

It was obvious that without the strength of the warriors, the empire would be helplessly defeated by the powerful power of the Demon King’s army.

Furthermore, in order to summon a hero, the magical power of numerous mages, which could have been used as power, was consumed, but it cannot be done if the hero is not helpful.

In the end, in order to trick him, the crown prince resorted to the last resort.

“If you succeed in defeating the Demon King and protecting the empire, I will give you the title of next emperor!”

A very unconventional proposal.

As the head of the largest empire on this continent, it is a position where you can obtain any treasure, beauty, or honor.

Of course, Kenji also showed interest, perhaps because he was greatly tempted.

Thought it was time, the crown prince snapped his fingers.

According to that sound, several people entered the entrance to the throne room where the warrior had entered.

They were women.

They are all outstanding beauties.

Of course, they pale in comparison to those who can be said to be the representative beauties of the empire, but even so, they are beautiful enough to make an ordinary person’s eyes pop out.

Furthermore, they are not only beautiful.

Everyone, one by one, had outstanding abilities.

For the newly summoned hero, these are his party mates gathered from all over.

Reflecting his personality, we gathered only women of all ages.

“They are comrades who will fight together for you.”

A smile appeared on the crown prince’s lips as he saw the hero Kenji’s mouth open.

You idiot.

As I thought, he was greedy for the position of emperor where he could obtain everything.

Just like him, he knows that he can’t ask for anything more than the position of next emperor.

But, what about the next emperor?

There is no way I could give you something like that.

If he defeats the Demon King and the empire escapes from crisis.

Instead of becoming emperor, he was scheduled to be given death like the former warrior Hans.

“…This is wide.”

The historic site I entered after crossing the fence was a much larger space than I thought.

Is it almost as big as a baseball stadium? I heard that part of the historic site was discovered during development work, and as a result of excavation work centered on that site, a site as large as this was discovered.

Fortunately, although some parts of the historic site collapsed during the development work, there was no major damage.

Experts said that even slightly collapsed areas could be sufficiently restored, so it seemed like the damage was really minor.

“Hmm… Seeing as I can’t feel any response, I don’t think there’s a chance that our Valkyrie is asleep.”

Given that Zikrune, which is sensitive to presence, cannot sense anything, it is unlikely that they have sisters.

If so, it means that it is different from the ruins we have been looking for so far.

While looking around the ruins in the distance, I saw a group far away.

They are probably the passengers that the soldier guarding the ruins mentioned.

The group must have spotted us from that direction as well, and was approaching this direction.

It was a group of about a dozen people, led by a young blond man with a scruffy face.

Well, I think there are about five or six maids who serve among them.

“Oh, this is… Isn’t it Miss Luc Sienna? It’s nice to see her beautiful face.”

“…Ugh”

The moment she saw the man’s face, Lucien’s expression hardened slightly.

If you look at the way Ortlinde’s always expressionless face twitches slightly, it’s definitely not a friendly relationship.

“Miss Linde, you look very beautiful today.”

“……”

「Wow」

Reinforce makes a vomiting sound as if it is nauseated.

Ortlinde stood in front as if protecting Luciena, without even looking at the man.

Seeing that, the blonde man smiled bitterly.

“hahahaha, there’s no need to be so cautious.”

“What shame do you have for saying that…!!”

“hahahaha, Miss Lucien. So, didn’t you say it was a misunderstanding? The man who tried to harm you has already been judged.”

“……”

A man smiles and approaches Lucien, who is openly wary of him.

Lucie I glared at him, biting her lip tightly.

“Don’t move”

The moment he tried to get closer to Luciena, a blade appeared in front of his neck.

Ortrinde’s hand, which had drawn the sword, was pointed at his neck like lightning.

“If you come any closer, I will cut off your head.”

“……”

At the same time, among those brought by the man, the armed ones touched their weapons.

The atmosphere felt like they could draw weapons and fight each other at any time.

Honestly, I wish you could bear with me.

Because Zikrune’s eyes are sparkling and his face is full of great anticipation.

“… Even if the charges against her are cleared, unless she allows you to approach, if you come closer than a certain distance…”

“hahahaha, I understand. I don’t want to cause trouble for her either.”

He stepped back and raised both his hands.

Ortlinde also holstered his weapon, and those who appeared to be the male escorts also withdrew their weapons.

Zeke Rune also looked disappointed, but he moved his hand away from holding the weapon.

“So, are the people there friends?”

The man who stepped back looked towards us and said.

Well, it’s probably the first time we’ve seen Rossweisse, Zikrune, and I.

But my eyes did not lose sight of it.

When this guy looks at me, his expression twitches slightly.

But he immediately changed his expression and approached me with a smiling face.

“Hello, my name is Vernon Lessington.”

“Lessington…I guess…”

“hahahaha, yes. The largest company in the Republic. My father runs Lessington Corporation. I am the Vice President.”

Vernon smiles kindly and extends his hand to shake hands.

I also held his hand with a smiling face.

“I’m Hans, pulling a small top.”

“It’s the top… So the people behind it…”

“Yes, they are my subordinates.”

I deliberately named him Hans instead of Louis, which is the name used when playing a merchant.

Of course, the reason is this.

Name: Vernon Lessington

Age: 34

Class: Merchant

Son of Alban Lessington, president of Lessington Company. Although he is helping his father as an executive of the company, he is secretly committing embezzlement and investing in his own business.

Recently, a business attempt by embezzling company money failed, and he is busy trying to make up for the empty money.

Profile skills.

In order to use this, there is a condition that the other person and I must use our real names.

Of course, once this condition is met, there is no problem as you can use it anytime as long as it is in front of you.

If either of them uses a false name, it cannot be used, so it is a bit annoying.

Anyway, I don’t want to face this guy who can do all sorts of things behind my back with a smile on his face like that.

“They are all competent and loyal subordinates.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes, in the case of that Rune behind me, I was able to punish the person who had secretly embezzled money from my merchant in an instant.”

“Meanwhile… Embezzlement… You mean? That’s a big deal.”

When the word embezzlement is mentioned, a man’s complexion noticeably changes.

I pretended not to care and continued talking.

“Yes, from what I heard, it looks like he was trying to run his own business by embezzling our money.”

“…I see…That’s right…”

“Well, now he’s a headless corpse and may have sunk somewhere in the ocean. hahahahaha!!”

“Ha…hahahaha…”

“Well, the guy who was working for a salary was embezzling, so wouldn’t that be a fair punishment?”

From noble mtl dot com

His complexion instantly became pale.

I could feel his eyes subtly moving towards the huge halberd that Zikrune was carrying on his back.

“I…I see…I see. Then we…Are still in the middle of excavation work.”

“Oh, I see. Then we’ll work on it over there.”

“Yes…Yes…”

When I saw him running away in a huff, I clicked my tongue.

And looking towards Ortrinde, Ortrinde nodded his head and said:

“He emerged as the number one mastermind who hired the people who previously tried to forcibly kidnap Miss Luciena.”

“As expected.”

「He’s a guy who plays like he’s supposed to.」

“…There was no clear evidence, and the charges were dropped because someone else came forward as the culprit…”

Well, let’s be honest, it’s probably that guy.

In fact, that guy seemed to be busy trying to replenish the company’s money that was empty due to embezzlement.

It is highly likely that Lucie was targeting me for her enormous wealth.

The person who came forward as the culprit probably hired someone to take the blame for him.

Now that protection for Lu Siena has increased, her kidnapping failed, and this time, they turn their attention to excavating the ruins.

…Unless there is clear evidence, we can’t accuse that guy of being the culprit.

This thought is just a guess based on what I confirmed with the profile skill.

“Anyway, let’s start working soon.”

“Yes! I understand!!”

“…Zikrune, you have to work carefully so it doesn’t collapse!”

“Ah…I understand…”

Even if there is no Valkyrie, there is something else important in these mysterious ruins.

I had that feeling.
