Shield Hero With Barrier Magic

(Author Note: If you didn't read my first fanfic, I don't know if you would understand the references I made in the prologue in the auxiliary chapter, so here are the things that you should know if you don't want to read that prologue.

1) MC was an orphan and a 19 years old v.i.r.g.i.n and otaku. In his previous world, he became rich by creating games but was never in a relationship as he didn't find a girl that he could trust. All the girls who came near him came for his money. So, the thing he wants the most is a family with those that he could trust. Of course, he won't mind having a family in the form of a harem. It's like getting a bonus along with his wish.

2) MC won't steal a girl that is already in love with someone else but he may manipulate her to fall for him before she fell for anyone else if he knew her future. He might even try to steal the girl only if the guy she likes is trash. He won't have s.e.x with a girl until she is m.a.t.u.r.e. MC is selfish. He will only save people that he wants to even though he could save everyone.

3) MC is killed by Truck-sama and he meets a Goddess who grants him OP powers i.e Barrier, Enhancement, Luck. (You can find even more detailed explanations about these powers in the auxiliary volume at the end of Prologue.) She tells MC that he will be reincarnated into a world as it's main character with his 'plot armor'. The world will be decided by Gacha. And so, MC reincarnated as the Shield Hero with the name, Hiro Iwatani. His appearance is currently the same as that of Naofumi.)

(Hiro's POV)

???: O brave heroes, please save our world!

The shield on my right-hand tells me that I was summoned in place of Naofumi Iwatani. Well, I have to quickly find a mirror to see my appearance. Is it the same as that of Naofumi? Well, I guess I will call myself Hiro Iwatani from now on. The summoned heroes don't know each other, so it won't be a problem if I changed my name and my background.

But this world is a gigantic pain in the a.s.s. It has one of the worst characters I have ever seen. The world is constantly damaged by 'waves'. Well, I guess I could stop those waves if I made a barrier around the world. But I won't do it. As I don't really care about the innocent people who die in these waves. I am not a hero. I will be at a serious disadvantage if I don't know the future. And I am not planning on going through what Naofumi went through. So, my current priority will be to escape the false **** accusation.

I look towards my side and find three young men. A handsome young man with black hair wielding a sword, Ren Amaki. Another one with long, blond hair held back in a ponytail and bright orange eyes, Motoyasu Kitamura. Though his appearance suggests he is younger, the third one is actually 17 years of age, he has naturally curly blonde hair that flops, giving him a charming appearance, Itsuki Kawasumi. The three legendary heroes. It's better to call them the 'idiot trio' instead. I guess I will play along with you guys, for now, assholes.

???: O brave heroes, please save our world!

Yeah, yeah. We heard you the first time. You asshole in priest outfit who kidnaps people from other worlds to be their slaves. But seriously, how greedy can you guys be? Instead of one, you actually summoned four heroes.

Itsuki: What do you mean by that?

When you are supposed to summon only one but you won't tell us that, will you?

Priest: Our world teeters on the brink of destruction.

And here you are thinking about only your country instead of your whole world. You selfish assholes. Well, it's not like I can say anything as I am also selfish.

Priest: We beg you, O brave heroes! Please help us!

I refuse but they don't need me either. So, it's better to use a good guy mask for now.

Hiro: Well... I guess I could hear you, at least.

Motoyasu: I refuse.

Itsuki: Likewise.

Yep, here are the idiots who think highly of themselves and keep thinking that this world is a game *Sigh*

No, you can't. And do you really expect them to tell the truth? The black-haired guy beside him suddenly raises his sword at the priest. And here comes Ren acting like he is the most righteous person in the world.

Ren: Don't you guys feel any guilt for bringing us here without our consent?

Of course, they won't feel any guilt, you idiot. And it's obvious that they will act like they are guilty even if they don't. It's basically a stupid question.

Itsuki: And if you send us home after peace is restored, we would have worked for nothing.

Expecting a reward right away. *Sigh* You are confident that the peace will be restored huh? Where does that stupid confidence even come from?

Motoyasu: How are you willing to accommodate us? Depending on your answer, we might become your enemies instead?

Don't lump with you, asshole! And what do you mean by becoming enemies ?!! Are you that confident about winning over them? What are you ?!! An all-powerful overlord ?!!

Anyway, the priest kept his calm attitude and walked forward.

Priest: F... First, we would like you to have an audience with the king of our country, Melromarc. You can negotiate your reward after that. so, please.

Ren lowers the sword after saying that.

Itsuki: I suppose we could consider their offer.

Yeah, yeah. Considering this summoning as an offer huh? You were not called here to do business, idiot.

Motoyasu: Not like our demands are gonna change, no matter who we talk to.

As I said, this isn't a business offer and stop lumping me with the likes of you!! And we started going to meet the ki... I mean Trash. Argh, I want to get out of this palace already!!
