Shield Hero With Barrier Magic

I can't act like I know the future. It will make them aware of me and if they attack me directly without trying to scheme against me, I would have to use my OP powers and if my powers are known, I will be considered either as a God or a Demon Lord. That's worse than being considered a hero. So, the first priority is to defeat them in their own scheme while trying to act natural. Use the brain more than power. They will try to put a **** accusation and I will have to escape it. Alright, Trash and Bitch, Let's start the game.

The four of us are now climbing the stairs while following the priest and we look out of the window to find the town just like in the original and the fresh breeze coming from it. Ah, I love how unpolluted this air is.

Hiro: Hah... I love the fresh air.

Itsuki: We really are in another world, huh?

Ren: We sure are.

Hiro: The standard Mediterranean climate. isn't it?

I say while smiling.

Ren: Yes, it is. It looks like you are quite knowledgable.

Yeah, I am just trying to not look like an idiot like Naofumi. It's better for me to have a good impression with you guys. Especially you, Ren. As you are the most reasonable out of the idiot trio.

We walk through a corridor and I notice that Bitch is watching me from up. I try to not look at that side. Don't worry, Bitch. You have one day till you put your plan in action and I have one day to counter it. But man, this castle sure is big. We had to walk a lot.

Anyway, we finally enter the throne room and find an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in noble clothes with a crown on the head. Trash is sitting on the throne while the room is filled with many people and soldiers.

Trash: So these four men are the Four Cardinal Heroes of ancient legend?

No, we are not. None of us have the right to be called a hero. Well, whatever you think though.

Trash: I am the King of Melromarc, Aultcray Melromarc XXXII.

I won't even bother remembering that. For me, your name will always be Trash.

Trash: Heroes, name yourselves.

You should have said the first three Heroes as you don't care about me.

Ren: Amaki Ren, sixteen years old, high schooler.

Motoyasu: I am Kitamura Motoyasu. Twenty-one and a college student.

They say with age comes wisdom. But this guy is the biggest idiot of the three even though he is older than each of us.

Itsuki: I suppose I am next. Kawasumi Itsuki, seventeen years old and a highschooler.

And here comes the idiot with self-proclaimed justice who thinks this is a game and he can't die no matter what. Of all the three, this guy pisses me the most. even more than Motoyasu.

Anyway, I am next but I won't bother trying to introduce myself as Trash won't even consider listening.

Trash: I see. Ren and Motoyasu and Itsuki, huh?

Motoyasu says while pointing his spear at me. See, if you don't do it, someone else will do it for you and you get to keep your impression.

Trash: Oh, forgive me. the fourth hero, name yourself.

Hiro: I am Iwatani Hiro. Nineteen years old. I was a game designer.

I already let go of my old name as this will be my new life.

Ren: Your name is Hero? What an irony.

Hiro: No, it's H, I, R, O. not a hero.

I didn't ask the Goddess for the spelling when I took this name but I would consider it 'Hiro' rather than 'Hero'.

Itsuki: You were a game designer ?!!

Itsuki asked curiously while smiling.

Hiro: Well yeah, I dropped out of high school and became rich by designing games. Well, what I earned in my previous world doesn't matter as I can't use that money anymore, hahaha.

I answer while laughing awkwardly. What I said is the truth. The three of them start looking at me with pity. Yeah, I understand that look. From a rich game designer to a summoned hero with the useless shield. Thank you for your consideration, guys.

Motoyasu: Hahaha... cheer up, dude.

Yeah, thanks.

Trash: Ahem.

And Trash coughs to gather our attention. How is that, asshole? I got the biggest introduction time now. And also now the guilt is on your side as you brought a rich guy here without his consent taking his life away. I am just a poor victim.
