Heroes and Machine Girls Looking at Profiles

24 – To the Sea

“I think it’s probably a magic spell that causes pain to the genitals when one feels s*xual desire.”

“It’s the same…?”

“It’s a completely new form of magic that I’ve never seen… So I can’t go into detail…”

That day, after the uproar, Prince Freud’s screams of pain subsided only after Anies and Ciella, who were in another room, came running.

Horrible pain, as if your genitals were being stabbed and squeezed with a sharp needle.

Alessa’s interpretation seemed to be correct, as the pain subsided only after the s*xual desire subsided due to the terrible pain.

“Fu…You can solve it, right?”

“That…That…”

“Can you solve it or not? Just answer that!!”

“Fu…I don’t know if I can solve it…But it will take a lot of time!!”

Alessa, who was always confident about Mado, gave an unconfident answer.

But he had no choice.

Alessa was also a type of magic that I had never seen before.

No, can this be called a magic spell?

It is certain that it is a spell using magical power and is forbidden.

But it was so elaborate and intricately woven.

Even Alessa, who is considered the next magic tower lord, could barely figure out the effect.

“Uh…You can’t solve it by force? Don’t you easily solve the curse spell!”

“Please…Don’t be scary!! They are possible because they are simple curse spells, but if you try to forcefully solve such a complex curse spell, something terrible will happen…!!”

Alessa shouts that with a serious face.

Because her face was very stern and serious, unlike her usual optimistic attitude, Prince Freud also recognized her seriousness and looked at her.

“…Wow…This is terrible…What on earth is happening…?”

“Well… I can only know fragmentarily, but this magic spell must be released one by one in the proper order, or unless the caster releases it directly…”

“Or…?”

Alessa swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth.

“…The magic power and vitality of the electric charge will cause a super reaction and the genitals will explode.”

At those words, not only the crown prince but also the faces of Princess Anies and Saint Siela who were present turned pale.

From that day on, the days were hell for Prince Freud.

Of course, being affected by this strange magic spell does not cause problems in daily life.

If you live an ascetic life, it’s as if such magic doesn’t exist.

But the problem is that it is impossible for Prince Freud.

Prince Freud, whose life was already debauched, had no way of living an ascetic life.

In particular, Prince Freud has a more active s*xual desire than other people.

To him, this magic island was literally no different from hell.

“Ugh?!”

The pain that tormented Prince Freud from time to time even when he had the slightest desire to be s*xual or even thought about hugging a woman.

Because of this, I haven’t even hugged a woman in the past few days.

Unable to bear it, he tried to embrace the pain, but the pain was so terrible that it was impossible to do so.

Just as Alessa said that it would take a long time, there was still no clue to solving this magic spell.

Alessa was obsessed with the interpretation of the magic spell almost every day, desperately looking for clues, but it was difficult to find even a piece of it.

In the end, it was Prince Freud who allowed the stress to accumulate.

“Because you are incompetent!! Because you are incompetent!!”

“……”

The stress was naturally directed at Alessa, who was unable to remove the magic spell placed on her.

Who is the current magic tower’s greatest genius?

Who is the next magic tower lord?

Prince Freud, who verbally abuses Alessa and assaults her.

Alessa was very wronged and angry, but he was unable to fight back and was beaten.

Anyes, who came running in a panic, stopped the crown prince, and Siela treated Alessa, bringing the situation to a close.

That day, as usual, Prince Freud vented his stress on Alessa and ground his teeth when he returned to his room.

The cause of this magic spell.

Of course, considering what happened that day, the masked merchant and the two women who were with him were the only ones.

In particular, didn’t the two women even use an unknown magic spell?

Given the circumstances, the crown prince thought they must be the culprits and was waiting for them to be caught.

“They haven’t been caught yet!!”

Hearing the prince’s angry voice, the young man who was serving as the prince’s assistant.

Lasis Arte, the son of the current Prime Minister, spoke.

“…Yes, it is true that it is difficult to find him immediately based on his appearance alone. I have not confirmed his identity.”

“You mean there’s no clue? Ugh…”

Clue.

At those words, Laceys made a loud noise.

“Racys? What’s going on?”

“I don’t know if it’s a clue… Or not, but there is an item that was entrusted to me by the escorts that day.”

Having said that, Raysis bowed his head slightly and left his room.

Then, after a while, he came back and put something of his down on the table.

“This is it.”

“What is this, a ring?”

“At that time, a masked merchant threw it away to be used for medical expenses. After that, due to the situation, I completely forgot about it and left it to me…”

It was a pretty gold ring, and judging by its size, it seemed to be a woman’s ring.

There is a beautiful blue gem in the center of the ring, and the workmanship is very beautiful.

It was a luxury item that you could tell that it was an expensive ring even at first glance.

“Hmm…? This is somewhere…”

Suddenly, Prince Freud felt a sense of déjà vu.

This gold ring was something I had seen many times before.

“Racis, have you investigated this ring?”

“…No, it wasn’t an uproar due to the magic spell that was cast on His Highness before a full-fledged investigation was conducted.”

I’m sure I’ve seen this ring before, but I couldn’t remember it at all.

If it’s a ring that looks this expensive, there’s no way you’ll easily forget it…

Holding out the ring to Laceys again, the crown prince opened his mouth.

“Lasis, let’s investigate this ring.”

“I understand.”

“Then…”

At that time, a voice was heard from in front of the crown prince’s room.

“Your Highness, are you there?”

“Oh, isn’t it the magistrate? Please come in.”

At Prince Freud’s words, a man entered the room and bowed his head.

The fat middle-aged man raised his goatee-bearded face and spoke to the crown prince.

“Your Highness, we have just completed the document formalities for the Duke of Vallière.”

“Oh, that’s right?”

Document formalities for the Vallière duchy.

If you just listen to the words, it may sound like a cleanup of an extinct duchy, but in fact, it is a document manipulation for the crown prince to siphon off the enormous wealth owned by the Vallière duchy.

He is a magistrate who is always helpful, starting with accusing the Duke of Vallière of crimes they did not commit.

Thinking of the enormous treasures in the mansion’s treasury, the crown prince smiled happily.

Now there was no problem, all the treasures were his.

“Your Highness! Minister! This is a big deal!!”

At that time, there was a man running around panting.

The minister turned and looked at him and said.

“Isn’t it Vice Minister? What’s going on?”

“That…That…”

The man with a pale face took a deep breath and shouted.

“It is said that all the treasures in the duke’s treasury have completely disappeared!!”

There have been a lot of surprising things recently.

This time, the crown prince was so shocked that he felt like he was going to faint.

“Umm…”

“Are you okay, master?”

“Oh, I’m fine…”

How many days have passed since he infiltrated the duke’s mansion in the Imperial capital and clashed with the crown prince?

I was on top of a high mountain and looking beyond.

What you see in the distance is an endless blue color.

“Is that the destination?”

“No, that’s a city near our destination. Our destination is the sea.”

After several days of researching the books brought from the Duke of Vallières, I was able to discover clues again.

Records indicating that there may be remains of a goddess in the sea, east of the empire.

I thought I couldn’t miss even the smallest clue, so I continued heading east.

“Master, are you by any chance worried about Miss Lu Sienna and Ortrinde’s older sister?”

“…Well, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t worried after sending away just two girls.”

Ortrinde, and Luciena.

The two people were now acting separately.

After going to the village in the principality where Luciena was waiting, she stayed there for several days.

There, I examined the book brought by the Duke’s family.

And also, about what happened after Luciena.

“…I’m thinking of going to the Republic of Alhait.”

Al-Hait Republic.

It is a republic that exists in the north of the continent, quite far from the empire.

Because it is far from the Demon Lord’s Territory, I have not been there yet.

It is said that Lucie’s younger sister went to get married there.

As of now, Luciena’s only family is left.

Lucie I seemed to be thinking of going there and entrusting her body.

“But the Republic of Alhait is far away. Can you go there alone?”

“…Of course. I’ve trained enough…”

Of course, perhaps thanks to her efforts, Luciana has enough strength to easily take down two or three of her thieves.

But the road to the republic was a very long one, and you never knew what might happen.

I thought I would join them, but if we go to the Republic of Alhait, we will end up forgetting the clues we found.

While contemplating, Ortrinde made a suggestion.

She said she would take me to Lucie and go to the Republic.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I will guide her to her republic. Then, I would like to go first and gather information about her from those around her.”

“I would be grateful if you did that, but…”

“Rosweisse is there, and considering the master’s power, there is no need to worry. Rather, it is not good to make the master’s heart heavy by letting Lucien go alone.”

Ortrinde looked at Rossweisse and said.

Ross Weisse was currently sitting in front of the fireplace, looking at the fire and nodding his head.

What is he doing now?

「I think it will be okay」

“Reinforce?”

「Since the Republic is a place I have never visited before, there is a high possibility that there is something there, right? It wouldn’t be a bad idea to send Mr. Ortrinde first. More than anything…”

Reinforce said sharply.

「To get to the eastern sea, you have to cross the empire’s territory, but two people, a masked black-haired man and a woman, have now issued a wanted order.」

“Ugh…”

「It’s not a bad choice to act separately here.」

Well, I think it was a mistake to throw the crown prince away at a time when he should have been careful.

Still, I have to say that I was really annoyed by that guy’s taunting…

“Then…Ortlinde, can I ask you a favor?”

“Yes, is it okay before that? Master.”

“Uh…Okay, what happened…?”

Ortrinde’s soft lips covered mine.

How long did it take for her face to slowly fall off?

“Um…Um…Ortlinde?”

“…Ether supply. I don’t think it will be possible for the time being.”

Ortrin De’s expressionless face turned her head as she said that.

Perhaps it was because the fire in her fireplace was red, but strangely, her face seemed to look red.
