Hero Niki

Hero Nikki.

There were countless titles praising her.

The first female hero.

The strongest hero in history.

The only hero to defeat the Demon King.

The savior who brought peace to the world.

The annihilator who exterminated the demon race.

And so on.

She was a hero who allowed not only humanity but also most of the races on the continent to escape the threat of the demon race.

She, who had accomplished the Demon King subjugation that no one else had been able to achieve, even refused the Empress’s offer to grant her territory and a noble title.

“I’m going to travel around. Being tied down to someone isn’t my thing.”

It was said that the Empress smiled with satisfaction at her cool reply, even in front of the Empress.

“Isn’t that the epitome of a hero? Many in the Empire should emulate that child.”

The Empress, hoping that people would follow the hero’s decision, even erected a statue for Hero Nikki.

It was a first.

It was the first time a statue of someone who wasn’t royalty was erected in the Imperial capital.

That was how great her achievement of subjugating the Demon King was, an achievement that no one could dare to surpass.

Having erected a statue in the Imperial capital, she left the Imperial capital without any regrets.

Unlike Aileen, who had to remain in the Order as a Saintess, she didn’t belong to any organization.

“I’m going on an adventure. I’m going to see things I haven’t seen and have new experiences.”

I don’t know how cool she looked with that grin.

Saintess Aileen was tied down by the positions of ‘Word of God’ and ‘Saintess’ and couldn’t go anywhere, but she could.

“Instead, I’ll bring back lots of stories! Aileen will love them too!”

And she would visit the Order every two months to share and introduce the free adventures she had experienced.

‘It’s already been that long.’

I didn’t realize it.

Originally, I would have been waiting only for her return, so I would have remembered exactly when she would arrive.

I was so worried about the possibility of the hidden tattoo on my lower abdomen being discovered that I didn’t notice it at all this time.

That today was the day she would come.

“I’m disappointed. I thought you’d be waiting for me at the entrance of the Order again today.”

“I, I’m sorry…”

“No, it’s okay. I just saw you giving the prayer to the believers. You were busy, so it can’t be helped.”

I couldn’t feel any resentment in Nikki’s smiling face.

Aileen looked at the hero, Nikki, who was smiling brightly at her.

Her golden hair was neatly rolled up, revealing her entire neckline and even her deeply carved collarbones.

And that’s not all.

The thin leather armor was so short that her belly button, which had been hidden, was slightly revealed every time she moved.

When I traveled with Nikki in the past, I don’t know how embarrassed I was by the belly button that was revealed every time she stretched.

In the past, she would be embarrassed by Nikki’s appearance and lower her head.

And that’s not all.

The pants were also short.

The bottoms, which only covered the upper part of her thighs, clearly revealed the lower part of her thighs, her knees, and even the lines of her calves.

The hero didn’t mind revealing her body.

Rather, she was proud to show it off.

“It’s stuffy. And it’s cumbersome when I move.”

Even when Aileen asked if she wasn’t embarrassed.

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? It’s better to show off this trained body. Look, I worked out this hard. That’s what I’m saying.”

I really admired her confident appearance.

I thought she was an amazing person.

And that’s still the case now.

The leather armor, which was breathable and easy to move in, revealed her shoulders and collarbones.

She’s still so cool.

The Saintess admired her smooth and firm body line in her heart.

“It’s been a while. You seem to be doing well. Your face is much brighter than before? Did something happen?”

“I, I’ve had something to relieve stress recently.”

At that moment, Max came to her mind.

The grateful person who gave her the hobby she had recently fallen into.

The scary person who turns into a demon and rapes her.

The person who tattooed a hidden tattoo on her lower abdomen and didn’t take responsibility and now even closed the store.

And.

The person who is also the reason why she is horny and rubbing her thighs right now.

Her body heated up just imagining Max.

Her face turned red and her lower abdomen tickled.

She even had a strong desire for someone to scratch inside.

‘This is too much.’

Stopping her imagination, she hurriedly changed the subject.

“How about you, Nikki? Was this adventure fun too?”

“Ah, would you like to hear about it?”

Nikki, who came closer with a smile, looked around and lowered her voice.

“I went to a really amazing place this time. There are still many monsters on the outskirts of the Empire. So I went around subjugating them again this time.”

“You’ve been busy.”

“I was busy. It was that much fun. You know what? Slimes are softer than I thought. Like the bath lotion I used to use in the Imperial capital. I once subjugated an Orc village that was harassing a village, and they were bigger than I thought. Much broader shoulders than humans. I wondered if it would have been a really big deal if such a monster had human intelligence.”

She shouted in an excited voice.

“I probably could have caught them more easily if the Saintess had been there, but I really felt like I was alone that day.”

Nikki sighed and continued.

“And the monsters have gotten a lot weaker. Maybe it’s because there are no demons? It wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be. I wanted to fight a strong opponent, but. Of course, the weak ones are tasty in their own way, but they’re not fun. It would have been fun to talk to if I had gone with the Saintess.”

Nikki buried her face in Aileen’s chest and hugged her.

“Haa, this cozy feeling… I missed you so much.”

When the two of them went on adventures together, the hero would hug her like this on days when she was tired and exhausted.

Because physical contact with people melted away her tired and exhausted heart.

And whether it became a habit, Nikki would bury her face in Aileen’s soft chest whenever she had a hard time.

Since Nikki left on her own adventure, coming back and hugging her chest has become a routine.

Aileen looked at Nikki, who was burying her face in her chest and taking deep breaths.

Was it because of the statue?

People often mistook Hero Nikki for a very dignified and strict person.

It was perhaps natural to think that she would be so perfect in her self-management that no one could even guess, considering she had subjugated the Demon King.

Because of this, almost no one easily approached Nikki first.

But Aileen knew that she was someone who got lonely more easily than anyone else.

That’s probably why she goes on adventures and meets other people.

To forget that loneliness by meeting other people.

“Huh?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I smell something unfamiliar…”

“Yes? What do you mean…”

“I smell something that shouldn’t be coming from the Saintess’s body. The smell of a man and a faint smell of mana…”

At those words, she felt her heart drop.

Mana and a man.

It was a word that struck at the very secret Aileen was hiding.

The hidden tattoo that Max, the demon in her fantasy, had given her, and that Max in reality had tattooed with his own hands.

His words that it was made of mana and would have a faint mana scent came to her mind belatedly.

“Could it be that the Saintess…”

“Th, that’s…”

The Saintess had rubbed bodies with a man.

Even if they hadn’t really had intercourse, the fact that she had rubbed bodies with a man was enough to get the other man dragged away for blasphemy.

A serious matter that must never be discovered.

Aileen, desperately looking for an excuse, bit her lip.

If it really gets discovered.

Should I use the Word of God on Hero Nikki?

That’s what I was thinking when.

“Are you practicing with a sword these days?”

“Yes?”

Aileen blinked at Nikki’s words.

“The only men who use mana are knights. I was wondering if you’ve been learning swordsmanship from a knight recently. Well, when I think about it, even if the Saintess receives blessings from the divine power, she still has to exercise. It’s not a bad thing.”

“Ah… Th, that’s right. Ha, haha…”

It may be natural, but Nikki couldn’t imagine that Aileen, of all people, would be with a man for private reasons.

Feeling relieved, Aileen felt a tingling in her head.

“Let’s go in. Today, I’ll make sure the nuns and holy knights can’t forcibly drag Aileen away!”

Nikki grabbed her wrist and led her.

I’m sorry, Nikki.

In the time you were gone, I became a really lewd woman.

A lewd woman who masturbates with fantasies of having intercourse with a demon.

If Nikki saw the hidden tattoo on Aileen’s lower abdomen that was half-disappeared now.

If she knew that the smell of a man on her body was from rubbing bodies with a man, not a knight.

What kind of expression would she make?

…I ended up imagining that.

‘God, forgive me.’

She continued her lewd thoughts while offering a prayer that she now used as a tool to justify her lewdness.

In the end, Aileen couldn’t even concentrate on what Nikki was saying.

 

“…So this magic circle shows illusions?”

Theo, who had heard my explanation of the magic circle, looked around the magic circle with a dumbfounded expression and asked.

“That’s right.”

“But no matter how I look at it, I don’t see a space to put the mana stone that is used as the power source for the magic circle? Could it be that you’re using the human’s mana directly?”

Theo seemed to have realized the core code of the magic circle in an instant.

He wasn’t a magician, but perhaps because he was a dwarf with more professional knowledge of spells than that.

He had a good eye for magic circles.

“That’s right. I’m using my mana directly to run the magic circle. When I need to have a mana stone, I temporarily create and cast an additional magic circle.”

“Then the mana storage you’re going to make with the mana core this time…”

“Recently, I’ve been adding various functions, so the amount of mana I use has increased, so I applied to modify it so that I can use mana even in the unlikely event that I can’t use mana.”

“That’s ridiculous…”

He opened his mouth wide.

“I’m not a magician, but I know how human magic works. I also know that it’s not possible…”

He trailed off and stuttered as he looked at me.

“N, no wonder you burn through mana stones with such ridiculous output… C, could it be that you’re not a human, but a dragon?”

“I’m human.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. If I was really a dragon, would I have ever run out of mana?”

“Ah… That’s true. They say dragons have as much mana as the sea.”

Theo nodded as if he had understood.

“Then you must be Human. Sorry. I was just surprised because these magic circles are really unbelievable technology.”

“I understand. I think they’re amazing too.”

The magic circles themselves are complex, but since the Saintess’s visit, magic and divinity have been combined, making their performance far superior to before.

A dwarf would probably see it as a series of nonsensical code.

“Could I possibly try it out? I want to see how sophisticated the technology is.”

Theo asked, looking at me with eyes full of curiosity.

“…That’s a little difficult.”

“Why?”

“Because it deals with videos that aren’t shown to minors.”

“Ah…”

Theo, who seemed to understand what I meant, shut her mouth and rolled her eyes with an embarrassed look.

“I-I’m still older than the adult age by human standards…? Dwarves have longer lifespans than humans, so wouldn’t it be okay…?”

“How old are you?”

“I’m 23 in dwarf years. Ah, dwarves are treated as adults at 25.”

“Really?”

But she’s over 19, which is the adult standard…

It might be okay?

“You know I’m not looking at it for that purpose! It’s for research! Research…”

“Alright. It wouldn’t be bad to experience it once.”

Showing it to a man isn’t a great idea, but…

‘It should be fine if I don’t touch him.’

I handed over the survey form.

“What’s this?”

“A mandatory procedure to go through before seeing illusions with the magic circle.”

Theo, who took the form from me, blushed and pointed to one of the items.

“…Why does it ask if you’re a virgin or not?”

“Men should write whether they’re a virgin or not.”

“…Ah.”

And he checked that he was a virgin.

Is this all developed by me?

Theo always had to prove himself.

-Trying to get into the factory without even a beard!

-Get lost right now!

-This isn’t a place for the likes of you!

Dwarf artisans who wouldn’t recognize him as an artisan because he didn’t have a beard.

-Ha! What makes you think you’re so great?

-Why don’t you stop with those weird studies and go where you belong?

Incompetent dwarves who looked down on him just because he worked in a factory.

Even when Theo created the ManaCon, many dwarves didn’t acknowledge it.

-It’s a trick. Some other dwarf must have helped him.

-Did he use sorcery? How could a dwarf like him…?

Jealousy and envy.

And suspicion.

Countless dwarves who thought Theo could never have made it.

But when he started making and selling ManaCons one after another, those who dared to doubt him all lowered their voices and disappeared.

That’s how he received the overalls.

He got to wear the overalls that only those with proven achievements or those recommended by three artisans could wear.

He became a member of the factory, but Theo was always a loner.

No one would recognize a dwarf without a beard.

Arrogant dwarves.

While he was redesigning an invention to put them in their place, he met a human.

Max.

A human who wanted a Mana Repository, an absurd object that would never consume mana.

It was a ridiculous request.

To create something that could store mana, which naturally dissipates, without any loss.

All the other dwarves would definitely shake their heads.

Even he, a genius among dwarves, thought he could only use Lhytan, but the other dwarves couldn’t even imagine it.

They considered Lhytan, a mineral that repels mana, as useless junk.

Weren’t they the most conservative race?

If he hadn’t been doing that research, Max wouldn’t have been able to create what he wanted.

‘Perfect. It aligns with the research I’ve been doing.’

He was wondering if he could create something new using Lhytan when he met Max. And he approached him.

Their needs matched.

Max needed a new object, and Theo needed an innovative invention to gain the dwarves’ recognition.

And he saw it.

The skill of the wizard Max, who made such an absurd request.

‘This human…’

He thought that maybe he could create something that other dwarves wouldn’t dare to scoff at.

So he followed him to his workshop.

A room full of huge magic circles was shocking.

‘To create such complex formulas so stably…’

He wasn’t a wizard, but as an engineer, he knew how difficult it was to put many magic spells in at once.

Dwarves also used their own magical characters, ‘D-Language,’ although in a different way.

A dwarf technician’s skill depended on how well they used D-Language, and the more complex the formula, the more precise the D-Language had to be, without any errors.

It was the same with the human wizard’s ‘Rune Language.’

So he wanted to experience it.

When he was told that minors weren’t allowed, Theo brazenly lied.

He brazenly lied that the age of adulthood for dwarves was 25.

His improvised excuse worked well, and Max readily agreed.

He handed him a form with the absurd question:

-Are you a virgin? (Yes / No)

He said it was necessary, so he answered that he was a virgin.

‘Why do they need this? It’s not some weird spell, is it?’

With anxiety and anticipation, Theo sat in the chair in the center of the magic circle.

And light bloomed around him.

Whoosh.

The world changed.

“…Huh?”

A spectacle of beautiful machines unfolded before his eyes.

Unfamiliar pictures and letters were pouring out of square windows of various sizes.

On the square screen being broadcast by magic.

‘There’s no project going on… No, there’s no wall behind it either.’

Steam Factory used video machines called Mana Projects.

It was a machine that emitted a particle cannon made of mana to broadcast images with a white cloth or wall behind it.

It had a complex structure and was huge, so it was used as a bulletin board to deliver major news from the Steam Factory.

It was a video device that was rarely used because it had the disadvantage of requiring a flat, large wall or tent to be used.

But the screens in front of him now weren’t that big.

They ranged in size from 27 inches to 120 inches, but they were small and compact compared to the size of the Mana Project he knew.

“You can broadcast a screen without a project?”

It was a dreamlike machine.

“How can something like this…”

He blankly reached out and looked at the screen in front of him.

That was just the beginning.

There wasn’t just a device that broadcast the screen.

“There are so many amazing machines.”

Unfamiliar square boxes, a vacuum cleaner that moved on its own and cleaned the dust on the floor, things that made strange noises,

“This is utopia…”

Theo wanted just one thing.

A paradise of machines that he had never developed before.

A laboratory full of machines that he could only imagine with his skills, but could never realize.

He wanted to be the first to develop and create such machines.

He wanted to flatten the noses of the dwarves who had ignored him and become a pioneer of dwarven technology.

“If I invented something like this…”

Theo could have become the pioneer of the dwarves he had so desired.

“A machine that washes clothes on its own! Is that even possible? How does it run on mana? I wonder what the principle is… I guess it’s hard to know just from an illusion?”

-Ding!

The door of the dishwasher, which had cleaned the dishes, opened.

The neatly washed dishes came out in a row.

“Wow! This is amazing too. If this comes out, there’s no need to wash dishes separately…”

He knelt down to see the internal structure of the dishwasher.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t see the details.

‘That nozzle seems to spray water to clean it.’

What kind of structure makes it possible? How is the water supplied?

There were so many things he wanted to study.

He was about to put on his dwarf goggles, which contained technology that allowed him to understand the flow of mana and the structure, in order to figure out the structure somehow.

Zzzzz.

“Whoa!”

The machine moved on its own and pulled out a piece of paper.

And there.

“What is it?”

The pictures and letters that were displayed on the screen were perfectly printed.

“Amazing…”

He was admiring it when.

-Welcome, Theo.

And then a golem in the form of Max approached him.

The golem, which had a long I-shaped line at the eyes and unfamiliar black lines drawn on its chin, looked at Theo with an expressionless face.

No.

Could this be called a golem?

The appearance was so elaborate for a golem that it looked exactly like a human.

“Who…?”

-I am MK.12, Theo’s secretary.

“MK.12?”

-Yes. My role is to help Theo with his development and to help with his daily life so that he can coordinate a smooth working environment.

“So this is my workshop?”

-That’s right. These are all inventions that Theo developed and created.

“…”

I made all of this?

It was unbelievable.

And Theo belatedly realized that this was an illusion.

“Ah, I understand. This is my desire.”

Theo, the best inventor who created all these inventions.

His heart was pounding at the fact that this was his desire.

‘I thought something weird would come out.’

Why did they threaten that minors couldn’t see it if that was the case?

“I guess minors really shouldn’t see it.”

He looked around at the surroundings full of mysterious machines and equipment.

It was so elaborate that it was hard to think of it as an illusion.

Even Theo felt it was real because everything felt real and there was no sense of incongruity.

“So what do I do now?”

-You can do whatever you want. Theo is the owner of this place.

“I see.”

He sat back in his chair and looked at the Max golem, or MK.12, and asked.

“But why do you look like the human?”

-Because Theo wanted this appearance.

“I wanted it?”

-Yes. I was created with the person who has the most ideal form of developer that Theo wants.

He thought he was a great wizard and developer.

Still, a golem modeled after himself.

Isn’t that strange?

“…Did the human let you do that?”

MK.12 didn’t answer.

“Don’t tell me I made it secretly?”

-That’s not true. It took some time to agree, but he allowed it.

“…He allowed it?”

-Yes. He said that if this golem would help the master’s development, he could use it.

“…That’s a relief.”

He thought Max was the best wizard he had ever seen.

He would have hated himself if he had acted disrespectfully towards him.

Even in an illusion.

-Then, shall we start with a detox massage before you start your research?

“Detox massage?”

-Yes. It’s a massage you do every day before you start your research.

“I do something like that?”

-That’s right. There was a research result that it helps to clear the mind. In fact, the research conducted after the detox massage increased by 3.4 times, and the efficiency also increased by more than 4 times. The items invented after receiving the detox massage include…

“Okay, I know it’s effective, so just do a little.”

He cut off MK.12.

Honestly, he was curious.

Even if it was just an illusion, what developer wouldn’t want to receive a magical massage that would improve their research efficiency?

-Then please sit in this chair.

“Okay.”

As soon as he sat in the chair.

Click!

“Huh?”

The shackles that popped out of the chair’s handle fixed his hands and feet to the chair.

“W-What is this?”

-This is a preliminary preparation for the detox massage. Please rest assured.

There’s no way.

-MK.12 is here for the master’s stability, so don’t worry. Master, please relax and leave it to me.

W-What is this!

 

I was secretly surprised to see Theo’s desires written on the paper.

‘He wants to be the best developer.’

That was a pretty wholesome desire.

To the point where a lust system would feel out of place.

“Something like this should be fine.”

I manifested the desire he wanted exactly as it was.

If it’s about feeling like the best developer, it’s simple.

As expected, he’ll be ecstatic just by seeing a few modern artifacts.

“You developed all of this.”

Ooh, great line.

At this rate, he’ll definitely feel like the best developer.

After finishing the setup and configuring the magic circle, I didn’t enter the illusion with him, unlike usual.

“There won’t be a complete absence of sexual depictions, so…”

Even so, I didn’t want to watch a man alone in an illusion, panting away.

To match that in the illusion together was a bit…

“But I can’t completely take my eyes off him.”

I needed to monitor the magic circle from the outside to see if any problems arose in its configuration, or if anything happened to Tio inside.

I’ll indirectly see him panting, though.

‘I have to put up with this much.’

Tio, who was looking around in admiration, examined the interior corner to corner with a developer’s gaze.

Looks like he’s watching an interesting scene.

He did that for quite a while.

“Uh, uh?”

A light of bewilderment began to flicker across his face.

“It’s starting.”

The magic circle had begun to operate properly.
