My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

However, in his previous life, he was just a pure virgin and an outsider at school. He had never even held a girl's hand, let alone dated.

To suddenly encounter such a goddess-level beauty was something he could never have imagined in his previous life. Naturally, he had to show his strengths, namely gentleness, kindness, and full respect for them...

He didn't understand romantic relationships; he just believed that these beautiful girls should be fully respected and that the final step shouldn't be taken so casually.

In reality, it's simply because these top beauties possess an innate aura, both in appearance and deep within their very being.

Although they pursued the hero for some reason, their aura made Seiichi feel ashamed and unworthy of them, even as he harbored filthy thoughts...

He could only console himself that his only strength was his gentleness, and that was the only merit he could boast about.

As long as he can talk to them every day, spend time with them, get to know them slowly, and eventually things will fall into place naturally, that's the kind of love he envisions. And things are pretty good as they are now. Every girl is actively vying for his affections, so what does it matter if we don't take the final step?

So far, he and the five top beauties around him are all innocent.

However, although he did not actually establish a harem, this did not prevent him from having the deep-seated desire to continue to collect beautiful women.

This is a contradictory mentality. He doesn't go to them, but he still wants to take them in. It's like occupying a toilet without using it. He doesn't care about anything else, he just wants to get the spot first.

For example, right now.

He was surprised to learn that a pure-looking girl from this country, who seemed to be named "Christine," also had feelings for him.

Because of his great personal charm after reincarnation, beautiful women would take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms whenever they saw him, and he had long been used to this.

'I'll deliberately leave her alone for a bit later,' Shimogaki Seiichi decided.

Although he already has four princesses and one saintess by his side, what man would complain about having too many beautiful women around him?

However, he naturally wouldn't show his true expression in front of so many people.

"Hero, is the food to your liking?"

"Hmm, it's alright." Shimogaki Makoto nodded.

"I heard that the hero has already reached the peak of knighthood and is about to break through to become a great knight, is that true?" Christine also seized the opportunity to strike up a conversation with the hero.

"Mm." Shimogaki Makoto nodded.

"Hero, you are amazing!" Christine looked at the hero with admiration. "Such talent far surpasses all the geniuses on the entire continent!"

Seiichi Shimogaki scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Oh, no, I don't have any talent, I just work very hard."

--quiet!

The surroundings fell silent.

The king, nobles, and others were at a loss for words.

How could someone go from an ordinary person to a great knight in just one month? That's something that can't be achieved through hard work.

You can do it simply because you are a brave person!

But why would the hero make such an obviously wrong conclusion?

Does the hero really think that he can become a great knight in a month by simply training casually?

No, how could that be?

So, why is that?

Oh, this must be the hero's humor.

But if it's humor, how do you respond?

Deny it? Definitely not.

Definitely? Wouldn't the hero think they were treating him like a fool?

At this moment, Princess Christine spoke first, looking at Shimagaki Seiichi with admiration: "Hero is amazing! He has such high talent, yet he works harder than everyone else! No wonder he has achieved such dazzling success!"

"Yes! Yes!" XN

Those around them realized what was happening and echoed their agreement.

Kouta, watching from afar, was dumbfounded. Wasn't that princess supposed to be so noble? Now she was actually groveling and fawning over someone else!

This is really...

In the crowd, Hume also saw his beloved Princess Christine fawning over the hero in such a lowly manner. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes as he looked at the hero.

But who exactly is this hero?

That's a monster with its own buffs fully stacked.

He sensed danger instantly.

boom!

He possesses over 30 S-rank skills, hundreds of A-rank skills, and hundreds of buffs that can be unleashed simultaneously!

A massive shockwave rose into the sky, instantly blowing away ordinary people like wheat grains, leaving only a few with cultivation levels of knight or higher standing.

This includes Gengtai.

At that moment, the hero also looked in Kouta's direction.

He sensed the killing intent from this direction just now!

……

Chapter 509 Trading

The warrior was covered in a dense array of various halos and lines, colorful and dazzling, like a rainbow, no, a world of colors a thousand times more dazzling than a rainbow.

Each line on these lines represents a passive defensive skill or buff. A quick glance reveals a dazzling array of abilities: [Impact Reflection], [Physical Defense], [Energy Reflection], [Flying Object Nullification], [Poison Isolation], [Magic Reflection], [Heat Isolation], [Curse Reflection], [Mental Protection], [Charm Nullification]...

This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned; they were blown to the ground by a tremendous force without any warning.

With Shimogaki Seiichi as the center, there are very few people who can still stand within a radius of 100 meters.

King Middleton and Queen Sophie were both covered in a layer of light and were not blown over. Christine was the same; the sapphire necklace around her neck emitted a faint glow...

The five stunningly beautiful girls behind Shimogaki Seiichi were not blown away either. Apart from them, there were some knights and nobles who possessed alchemical items...

Among them, three men exuded the strongest aura. One of them was Harold, the one-armed Sky Knight, who was also the principal of the Royal Knight Academy whom Kouta had met before. Another was a middle-aged man with a delicate face and the air of a noble young master. The last one was an old man with a white beard, who was calmly drinking wine at the far end, but his eyes were fixed on the exaggerated buffs and skills on the hero with great interest.

"My lord, what's wrong?" King Middleton asked cautiously.

Everyone's eyes turned to Shimagaki Seiichi, but none of them dared to look at him with the slightest reproach.

Shimogaki Seiichi also realized what was happening and awkwardly withdrew all those passive defensive skills and various random buffs.

"Um, I'm sorry, I sensed killing intent from that direction just now." Shimogaki Joichi said, pointing his finger in the direction where Kouta was.

"Killing intent! Heavens, who dares to be so disrespectful to the hero!" The nobleman beside him covered his mouth in surprise.

"How dare they harbor murderous intent towards the Hero! This must be a spy sent by the Demon King!"

The people around them echoed the sentiment in an exaggerated manner.

Kouta was quite embarrassed for a moment.

Because he was the only one standing among everyone on his side; the others were all lying on the ground in a sorry state.

The hero's voice instantly drew everyone's attention to him.

However, Kouta doesn't receive the treatment of a hero.

The gazes directed at Kouta were like knives, filled with scrutiny, hostility, suspicion, and disdain... as if they wanted to cut a piece of flesh off him.

The surrounding guards also sprang into action, marching with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound, and surrounded Kouta with their spears.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, as if a bloody conflict was about to break out at any moment.

"Speak quickly, who are you? Are you here to assassinate the hero?" the captain of the guard shouted sternly.

"What are you waiting for, Sir Harriman? Take him down now!" a nobleman shouted from afar.

"Hey! Wait a minute, aren't you going to let me explain?" Kouta waved his hands repeatedly.

"Guards, proceed." Finally, King Middleton commanded. The truth was unimportant; what mattered was not to displease the hero. For that, what did the death of a civilian matter?

"Wait, Your Majesty, let him explain." This time, it was Shimogaki Seiichi who spoke up.

He is, after all, a modern person, kind-hearted, or perhaps he hasn't yet adapted to the dog-eat-dog world.

Moreover, it was the first time he had seen people of the same race as him, with black hair and black eyes, in this world, so he felt a sense of familiarity.

When the hero spoke, the surrounding nobles and guards all stopped what they were doing.

Upon seeing this, Kouta immediately explained, "I had absolutely no intention of harming the Hero, Hero-sama. Are you really sure it was me, Hero-sama?"

Shimogaki Seiichi choked, unsure whose killing intent had just come from. After all, there were hundreds of people on that side, and any of them lying on the ground could have been the source.

“A liar never admits he’s a liar, so I think we should arrest him and torture him to extract a confession,” a nobleman said, trying to curry favor with the hero.

Princess Christine recognized Kouta, her voice filled with surprise: "It's you!"

"Does Your Highness know him?" Shimogaki Seiichi asked.

Seeing that she had indeed attracted the hero's attention, Christine began to explain sweetly, "Yes, I've seen this person before. He's a student at the Royal Knight Academy, but he's of low character and bullies the weak because he's strong."

“...I see.” Shimogaki Seiichi’s slight goodwill towards Kouta vanished instantly. He looked at Kouta again, his eyes filled with disdain for associating with him.

However, although he had no good feelings towards Kouta, he was not strong enough to condemn him based on his own speculation.

Even if he is wrongly accused, he will still feel uncomfortable.

Of course, it's also possible that he simply didn't care about commoners like Kouta and didn't want to cause any unpleasantness at the banquet because of him.

So, he thought that this was the case.

"Alright, this was just a misunderstanding. I overreacted just now," said Shimogaki Seiichi.

When the hero spoke, none dared to disobey, and the guards dispersed.

"The hero is truly kind-hearted. This is the first time I have ever seen someone with such a broad mind!" Christine looked at Shimagaki Seiichi with admiration.

"Yes, the hero truly lives up to his name!"

"Your noble character is truly admirable!"

People began to flatter the brave man, the banquet continued, and it was once again a scene of singing and dancing.

The group of heroes slowly left the place, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.
