**[00:59] Naofumi**
What a weird dream.
**[01:03] Naofumi**
*My name is Iwatani Naofumi.*
**[01:06] Naofumi**
* I'm a second-year student in college,*
* and kind of an otaku.*
**[01:14] Naofumi**
Sunny day, huh?
**[01:17] Naofumi**
* I managed to save my brother from falling*
* in with the wrong crowd,*
**[01:22] Naofumi**
* and mom and dad thanked me by*
* letting me live at home, allowance included.*
**[01:26] Naofumi**
* With no need to work part-time,*
* I got to enjoy an idyllic otaku life.*
**[01:36] Naofumi**
* That said, I certainly wasn't*
* one of your so-called shut-ins.*
**[01:41] Naofumi**
*When I'd run out of money to spend,*
**[01:43] Naofumi**
* I'd go to the library to browse*
* through my light novels.*
**[01:47] Naofumi**
* I was a completely run-of-the-mill otaku*
* leading a completely ordinary life.*
**[01:51] Naofumi**
Ow!
**[01:54] Naofumi**
What the hell, man?
**[01:56] Naofumi**
* But it all changed when*
* I picked up this book.*
***SIGN*** The Records of the Four Cardinal Weapons
**[02:00] Naofumi**
"The Records of the Four Cardinal Weapons"?
***SIGN*** The Waves of Apocalyptic Catastrophe
**[02:04] Naofumi**
"The Waves of Apocalyptic Catastrophe...
**[02:07] Naofumi**
To save the world from the Waves, four heroes
will be summoned from another world."
**[02:13] Naofumi**
How very like a light novel.
**[02:15] Naofumi**
"Each of the four heroes
**[02:17] Naofumi**
wield a characteristic weapon:
a sword, a spear, a bow, or a shield."
**[02:22] Naofumi**
Uh, I'm pretty sure a shield
is more like armor than a weapon.
**[02:25] Naofumi**
And where's the heroine, anyway?
**[02:28] Naofumi**
I don't think it's this princess.
She seems kinda slutty.
**[02:32] Naofumi**
Huh... Each of the heroes seems
impressive and pretty damn cool.
**[02:37] Naofumi**
I guess all four of them
are the protagonists.
**[02:40] Naofumi**
The sword, spear, and bow
heroes all get spotlights,
**[02:42] Naofumi**
and even the shield hero gets focus...
**[02:44] Naofumi**
What the heck?
**[03:02] Man**
We did it! The summoning was a success!
**[03:06] Naofumi**
Where am I?
**[03:06] Man**
O brave heroes, please save our world!
**[03:10] All**
Excuse me?
**[03:13] Naofumi**
*Who are these guys?*
**[03:15] Naofumi**
*And where am I, anyway?*
**[03:19] Naofumi**
The hell is this?
**[03:21] Naofumi**
A shield?
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** The Shield Hero
**[03:30] Man**
O brave heroes, please save our world!
**[03:34] Naofumi**
Seriously?
**[03:36] Itsuki**
What do you mean by that?
**[03:38] Man**
There is a long and complicated
story behind this,
**[03:42] Man**
but we've summoned you Four Cardinal
Heroes here using an ancient ritual.
**[03:48] Naofumi**
* "Four Cardinal"? So he thinks the*
* four of us are heroes of legend?*
**[03:53] Man**
Our world teeters on the
brink of destruction.
**[03:57] Man**
We beg you, O brave heroes! Please help us!
**[04:02] Naofumi**
I guess I could hear you out, at least.
**[04:03] Ren**
I refuse.
**[04:05] Itsuki**
Likewise.
**[04:07] Motoyasu**
We can go back to our world, right?
**[04:10] Motoyasu**
We'll talk about your problems after that.
**[04:11] Ren**
Don't you guys feel any guilt at all for
bringing us here without our consent?
**[04:17] Itsuki**
And if you send us home as soon as peace
is restored, we'd have worked for nothing.
**[04:22] Motoyasu**
How willing are you to accommodate us?
**[04:26] Motoyasu**
Depending on your answer, we might end
up becoming your enemies instead.
**[04:30] Naofumi**
* Not only are these guys*
* taking all this in stride,*
**[04:34] Naofumi**
* they've already started to*
* demand respect and rewards!*
**[04:36] Man**
F-First, we'd like you to have an audience
with the king of our country, Melromarc.
**[04:42] Man**
You can negotiate your reward
after that, so please...
**[04:46] Ren**
Fine, I guess.
**[04:48] Itsuki**
I suppose we could consider their offer.
**[04:51] Motoyasu**
Not like our demands are gonna change,
no matter who we talk to.
**[04:55] Naofumi**
* Yeesh! Could these guys*
* be any more confident?*
**[05:02] Itsuki**
We really are in another world, huh?
**[05:06] Motoyasu**
We sure are.
**[05:07] Naofumi**
Such a pleasant breeze...
**[05:09] Naofumi**
It's like the typical sales pitch
in all those tour brochures.
**[05:13] Itsuki**
Wait, have you never traveled
out of Japan before?
**[05:16] Ren**
Going by the breeze outside,
**[05:18] Ren**
this place probably has your
standard Mediterranean climate.
**[05:22] Naofumi**
Yeah, yeah. *Excuse* me for my lack
of knowledge and vocabulary.
**[05:34] Aultcray**
So these men are the Four Cardinal
Heroes of ancient legend?
**[05:39] Aultcray**
I am the king of Melromarc,
Aultcray Melromarc XXXII.
**[05:44] Aultcray**
Heroes,
**[05:46] Aultcray**
name yourselves.
**[05:49] Ren**
Amaki Ren, sixteen years old, high schooler.
**[05:53] Motoyasu**
I'm Kitamura Motoyasu. Twenty-one,
and a college student.
**[05:56] Itsuki**
I suppose I'm up next.
**[05:59] Itsuki**
Kawasumi Itsuki, seventeen years
old, and a high schooler.
**[06:02] Naofumi**
And lastly, me. I'm...
**[06:05] Aultcray**
I see.
**[06:05] Aultcray**
Ren, Motoyasu, and Itsuki, huh?
**[06:08] Naofumi**
Y-Yo, King, aren't you forgetting me?
**[06:10] Aultcray**
Hmm? Oh, forgive me.
**[06:13] Itsuki**
"Yo, King"? You mustn't be so disrespectful.
**[06:17] Naofumi**
Should I call him His Highness, then?
**[06:19] Motoyasu**
That's too formal, no?
**[06:22] Aultcray**
"King" is fine.
**[06:24] Naofumi**
Well, whatever works.
**[06:26] Naofumi**
My name is Iwatani Naofumi. I'm
twenty, and a college student.
**[06:31] Aultcray**
Now...
**[06:32] Aultcray**
I suppose I owe you an explanation.
**[06:35] Naofumi**
You're ignoring me?
**[06:36] Aultcray**
My country, Melromarc, and the entire
world is headed toward destruction.
**[06:43] Naofumi**
* I'm still pissed off at how the king's*
* treating me, but here's the long story short.*
**[06:49] Naofumi**
*This world has an apocalyptic prophecy,*
**[06:53] Naofumi**
* which mentions "Waves" that*
* will lead the world to ruin*
**[06:57] Naofumi**
* and reportedly appear in,*
* well, several waves.*
**[07:00] Naofumi**
* Unless the calamities wrought*
* by the Waves are thwarted,*
**[07:03] Naofumi**
*the world will end.*
**[07:06] Naofumi**
* Each country here has an*
* ancient dragon hourglass*
**[07:11] Naofumi**
*which can predict the arrival of the Waves.*
**[07:15] Naofumi**
* The first Wave washed over this*
* country before we were summoned.*
**[07:20] Naofumi**
* Local knights and traveling adventurers*
* managed to fend it off,*
**[07:26] Naofumi**
* but the following Waves*
* will be even more potent.*
**[07:31] Naofumi**
* The hourglass's sands will keep trickling*
* as long as the Waves keep coming...*
**[07:35] Naofumi**
* Currently, less than a month*
* remains until the second Wave.*
**[07:39] Aultcray**
We underestimated the Waves.
**[07:43] Aultcray**
We realized once we actually experienced one
**[07:47] Aultcray**
that only the Four Cardinal
Heroes could counter them.
**[07:51] Aultcray**
And so, we followed the
legend and summoned you four.
**[07:54] Aultcray**
We have no time to lose!
**[07:57] Naofumi**
*Wait a second.*
***SIGN*** The Records of the Four Cardinal Weapons
**[07:59] Naofumi**
* Isn't this the exact same story*
* as the one in that book?*
**[08:03] Ren**
We get the gist of it now.
**[08:05] Ren**
Anyway, surely you didn't summon us
expecting us to save you for free.
**[08:08] Minister**
Of course, once you repel all the Waves,
**[08:12] Minister**
we shall reward you handsomely.
**[08:14] Motoyasu**
Will you, now? Well,
as long as we have your word.
**[08:18] Ren**
We'll work with you provided
you don't turn on us.
**[08:21] Ren**
But don't think for a moment
that you can tame us.
**[08:23] Itsuki**
Exactly. We can't have
you looking down on us.
**[08:26] Naofumi**
R-Right...
**[08:29] Naofumi**
*God, these guys are so high-and-mighty.*
**[08:32] Aultcray**
I trust we have an agreement.
**[08:34] Aultcray**
Then, heroes, you should
all check your statuses.
**[08:38] Naofumi**
Wait, what's a status?
**[08:40] Itsuki**
Uh...
**[08:42] Ren**
What's wrong with you guys?
**[08:44] Ren**
It should've been the first thing
you noticed in this world.
**[08:47] Naofumi**
* Oh, get over yourself! Quit acting*
* like you know everything!*
**[08:50] Ren**
Don't you see an icon in
the corner of your field of vision?
**[08:54] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[08:56] Naofumi**
You're right. There it is.
**[08:58] Ren**
Try focusing on it.
**[09:02] Naofumi**
Like this?

**[09:05] Itsuki**
"Level 1"?
**[09:08] Itsuki**
That's worrying.
**[09:09] Motoyasu**
Yeah. No telling if we can fight like this.
**[09:13] Naofumi**
What's all this, anyway?
**[09:15] Minister**
Status Magic, an ability
exclusive to the heroes.
**[09:19] Ren**
So what are we supposed to do?
**[09:21] Minister**
You must leave on an adventure
**[09:24] Minister**
to develop and upgrade the legendary
weapons that you have equipped.
**[09:28] Naofumi**
They aren't maxed out of the box?
**[09:31] Naofumi**
Wait, mine isn't even a weapon.
**[09:34] Motoyasu**
Couldn't we just wield other
weapons until these are usable?
**[09:39] Ren**
We can figure that out as we go.
**[09:42] Ren**
Anyway, it looks like we
ought to train ourselves.
**[09:46] Itsuki**
We'll have to level up as much as we can.
**[09:48] Naofumi**
Then if the four of us form a party...
**[09:51] Minister**
One moment, heroes.
**[09:54] Minister**
You will each recruit and
adventure separately.
**[09:59] Itsuki**
And why is that?
**[10:01] Minister**
It is said that the legendary weapons
repel one another by nature.
***SIGN*** When two more wielders of the legendary
weapons operate together, it causes
an adverse reaction in the weapons.
Working separately is highly advised.
**[10:07] Minister**
If you work together, it apparently
hinders their development.
**[10:12] Naofumi**
He's telling the truth, huh?
**[10:13] Naofumi**
* And the weapons are translating all verbal*
* and visual information into Japanese for us.*
**[10:19] Aultcray**
The sun is about to set.
**[10:21] Aultcray**
Rest up tonight, and set forth tomorrow.
**[10:24] Aultcray**
In the meantime, we'll gather the best
of the best to form your parties.
**[10:30] Noble**
We've prepared rooms for you.
**[10:32] Noble**
Please come this way.
**[10:34] Man A**
I hear the Four Cardinal
Heroes have been summoned.
**[10:37] Man B**
All four of them, in this country?
**[10:39] Man C**
Are they sure about this?
**[10:40] Man D**
Wait, that means the Shield Hero is also...
**[10:44] Motoyasu**
I guess you get special treatment
when you're heroes of legend.
**[10:48] Motoyasu**
The girl who showed us here
was a cutie pie, too.
**[10:50] Itsuki**
And our dinner was sumptuous,
though it did taste unusual.

**[10:54] Naofumi**
Hey, isn't this kinda like a game?
***SIGN*** Heat Unlock Requirements: None
**[10:57] Motoyasu**
You mean it *is* one.
**[10:59] Motoyasu**
It's exactly like *Emerald Online.*
**[11:01] Naofumi**
Huh? What's that game?
**[11:03] Motoyasu**
Are you serious? It's super famous!
**[11:06] Itsuki**
What are you talking about?
**[11:07] Itsuki**
This isn't some online game.
It's a world out of a console game.
**[11:11] Itsuki**
It's called *Dimension Web.*
**[11:13] Ren**
You're wrong. It's a VRMMO.
**[11:16] Ren**
It's pretty much the exact
same as *Brave Star Online.*
**[11:20] Motoyasu**
Let's sort out the information we have.
**[11:21] Motoyasu**
Ren, can we take "VRMMO" literally?
**[11:25] Ren**
Yeah.
**[11:26] Ren**
You guys get what means too, right?
**[11:29] Itsuki**
I think a sci-fi game I'm familiar
with explored the concept.
**[11:31] Naofumi**
I've read about them in LNs, yeah.
**[11:34] Motoyasu**
Just to be sure, let's check
our general knowledge.
**[11:37] Motoyasu**
Who's the person on the thousand yen bill?
**[11:40] Motoyasu**
One, two...
**[11:41] Motoyasu**
Yawara Gotaro.
**[11:41] Ren**
Yuda Masato.
**[11:41] Itsuki**
Kodaka Enichi.
**[11:41] Naofumi**
Noguchi Hideyo.
**[11:43] All**
Who?!
**[11:45] Motoyasu**
What won Buzzword of the Year last year?!
**[11:46] Naofumi**
Your favorite voice actors?
**[11:47] Ren**
Which countries won World War II?
**[11:49] Itsuki**
Who's the Prime Minister?
**[11:53] Itsuki**
It seems we're all from
different versions of Japan.
**[11:57] Ren**
Looks like it. They sound nothing alike.
**[12:01] Naofumi**
So there are parallel world
Japans out there too, huh?
**[12:04] Motoyasu**
I thought we might just
be from different eras,
**[12:06] Motoyasu**
but I guess not, if they're so different.
**[12:08] Naofumi**
And I can't believe all three of you played
games that are just like this world.
**[12:13] Naofumi**
Why am I the only one
unfamiliar with this stuff?
**[12:16] Naofumi**
Huh? What is it?
**[12:18] Itsuki**
W-Well, I just thought it might
because you're the Shield Hero.
**[12:21] Motoyasu**
Oh, you too?
**[12:23] Ren**
It's only natural.
**[12:25] Naofumi**
Wh-What're you guys talking about?
Is there something wrong with the shield?
**[12:28] Motoyasu**
All right. Big Bro Motoyasu's gonna
get you up to speed on the basics.
**[12:34] Motoyasu**
As far as I know, the Shielder,
**[12:36] Motoyasu**
the class that specializes in the shield...
**[12:38] Naofumi**
Yeah?
**[12:39] Motoyasu**
...is one for losers.
No high-level gamers play it.
**[12:44] Naofumi**
No!
**[12:47] Naofumi**
How about in your worlds?
**[12:49] Ren**
Sorry.
**[12:50] Itsuki**
Likewise.
**[12:55] Motoyasu**
How's the terrain here?
**[12:58] Ren**
Very similar to what I'm familiar with.
**[13:00] Itsuki**
Each weapon has its own ideal hunting ground,
so let's spread out.
**[13:03] Naofumi**
*Well, whatever.*
**[13:05] Naofumi**
*If I'm weak, I can just rely on my party.*
**[13:08] Naofumi**
*It might have girls and all, too.*
**[13:14] Naofumi**
* The shield's role would be to thwart enemy*
* attacks and defend the party, right?*
**[13:18] Naofumi**
* And while my life back home was devoid of*
* romance, I might just meet The One here.*
**[13:24] Naofumi**
* It'll be fine. I've been summoned*
* to another world, after all.*
**[13:28] Naofumi**
*Even if I'm weak, things will work out.*
**[13:31] Naofumi**
All right! I'm gonna give it my all!
**[13:34] Motoyasu**
R-Right.
**[13:36] Motoyasu**
We have to set out on adventures tomorrow.
**[13:38] Motoyasu**
Let's head back to our rooms
and get a good night's sleep.
**[13:41] Itsuki**
Do you think they have baths here?
**[13:42] Motoyasu**
It's quite likely you'll
have to go outdoors.
**[13:44] Naofumi**
*That's right.*
**[13:45] Naofumi**
*My grand adventure begins tomorrow!*
**[14:05] Aultcray**
We have gathered brave warriors who will
fight the Waves with you legendary heroes.
**[14:12] Naofumi**
*These people will join our parties, huh?*
**[14:16] Naofumi**
*Wow, there's a real looker here, too.*
**[14:22] Aultcray**
Now, our future champions!
**[14:24] Aultcray**
Time to begin your journey!
**[14:29] Naofumi**
*What?* They're *the ones choosing?!*
**[14:38] Naofumi**
Three... four... five...
**[14:42] Naofumi**
Yo, King!
**[14:44] Aultcray**
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting this.
**[14:48] Minister**
No volunteers? He must have no charisma.
**[14:52] Aultcray**
So there have been rumors.
**[14:55] Motoyasu**
Did something happen?
**[14:57] Aultcray**
Well, rumors that the Shield Hero is ignorant
of this world have spread around town.
**[15:04] Naofumi**
What?
**[15:06] Aultcray**
Legend says the heroes come with a
firm understanding of our lands.
**[15:10] Aultcray**
And they seem to think he
doesn't meet that criteria.
**[15:14] Motoyasu**
Maybe someone was eavesdropping
on our chat last night.
**[15:17] Naofumi**
Seriously?
**[15:19] Naofumi**
*Just for that?*
**[15:21] Naofumi**
*Sure, I may not know much, but...*
**[15:23] Naofumi**
That aside, Ren, you don't need five!
Gimme some of them!
**[15:26] Ren**
I'm actually more of a loner.
**[15:29] Ren**
If any of you can't cut it,
I'll leave you behind.
**[15:32] Naofumi**
What do you make of this, Motoyasu?
Don't you think it's unfair?
**[15:35] Motoyasu**
I'm actually surprised that
my party is all girls, too.
**[15:38] Naofumi**
* It pisses me off that he doesn't*
* seem all that broken up about it.*
**[15:42] Itsuki**
It would be best to split them three each,
**[15:45] Itsuki**
but if we force it, it could destroy morale.
**[15:49] Naofumi**
So, what, you're telling me to go it alone?!
**[15:52] Naofumi**
*I'm a Shielder, you know!*
**[15:53] Naofumi**
*The class* you *guys said was for losers!*
**[15:56] Naofumi**
* How am I supposed to grow*
* stronger without a party?*
**[16:02] Myne**
Sir Hero!
**[16:07] Naofumi**
*It's that girl.*
**[16:08] Myne**
Would you allow me to join the Shield Hero?
**[16:13] Motoyasu**
Are you sure?
**[16:14] Myne**
Yes!
**[16:15] Naofumi**
*F-For real?*
**[16:17] Naofumi**
*She'll join my party?*
**[16:22] Aultcray**
Are there any others who wouldn't
mind joining Naofumi-dono?
**[16:28] Aultcray**
I suppose we'll have to take other measures.
**[16:30] Aultcray**
Naofumi-dono, you will have to
recruit for your party yourself.
**[16:37] Naofumi**
A-All right.
**[16:39] Aultcray**
Every month, we shall provide each
hero with the funds they require.
**[16:42] Aultcray**
This time, Naofumi-dono's payment
will be higher than the others.
**[16:48] Aultcray**
Here are your initial war
chests. Please accept them.
**[16:52] Minister**
Naofumi-sama gets 800 silver coins.
**[16:55] Minister**
The others get 600.
**[16:58] Aultcray**
Use this to procure all necessary equipment
and set forth on your journey.
**[17:02] All**
Yes, sir!
**[17:07] Motoyasu**
Later, Naofumi.
**[17:10] Motoyasu**
Take good care of her, you hear me?
**[17:13] Itsuki**
It's sad that we can't help you,
but good luck with your recruiting.
**[17:18] Ren**
See you again when the time comes.
**[17:21] Naofumi**
Y-Yeah.
**[17:23] Myne**
Um, Shield Hero.
**[17:26] Myne**
My name is Myne Suphia. It is
an honor to fight with you.
**[17:31] Naofumi**
I'm Iwatani Naofumi. Nice to meet you.
**[17:34] Myne**
My pleasure!
**[17:37] Naofumi**
*She's so open and friendly.*
**[17:40] Naofumi**
* And she chose to join me*
* when no one else would.*
**[17:43] Naofumi**
*I've gotta keep her safe, no matter what!*
**[17:46] Naofumi**
Shall we get going, uh, Myne-san?
**[17:50] Myne**
Yes, Sir Hero.
**[17:53] Myne**
Let me show you around the
castle town to start off.
**[17:59] Naofumi**
I caught a glimpse last night,
**[18:01] Naofumi**
but taking a closer look really drives
it home that this is another world.
**[18:05] Myne**
What shall we do now, Sir Hero?
**[18:08] Naofumi**
Hmm, let's see...
**[18:10] Naofumi**
I'd like to check out a shop that
sells weapons and armor first.
**[18:14] Myne**
That makes sense.
**[18:16] Myne**
With that much money, you can
buy some fine equipment.
**[18:19] Myne**
I'll take you to a shop I trust, then.
**[18:22] Naofumi**
Yeah, please do.
**[18:24] Myne**
Sure thing! Follow me!
**[18:28] Naofumi**
*So cute.*
**[18:29] Naofumi**
* Nothing beats having a*
* girl in your party, huh?*
**[18:36] Myne**
I wholeheartedly recommend this place.
**[18:40] Naofumi**
So this is what a weapons shop is like.
**[18:43] Erhard**
Welcome.
**[18:45] Erhard**
Is this your first time in a weapons shop?
You sure know how to pick 'em.
**[18:50] Naofumi**
Actually, she brought me here.
**[18:53] Erhard**
Have we met before, Miss?
Why do you look so familiar?
**[18:56] Myne**
I've come shopping here before.
**[18:58] Myne**
Your shop is quite famous, you know.
**[19:00] Erhard**
Ain't that nice of ya.
**[19:03] Erhard**
By the way, who's your companion
with the funny outfit?
**[19:08] Myne**
Can't you tell, boss?
**[19:11] Erhard**
You mean you're one of the heroes?
**[19:14] Erhard**
Ah, I see you've got a shield.
You must be the dud.
**[19:19] Naofumi**
* Why are rumors about me*
* spreading like wildfire?*
**[19:23] Naofumi**
*Whatever. I can't let it get me down.*
**[19:26] Naofumi**
I'm Iwatani Naofumi, the Shield Hero.
**[19:29] Naofumi**
Pleased to meet you!
**[19:31] Erhard**
Naofumi, eh?
**[19:32] Erhard**
Well, if you'll be a regular, I don't give
two hoots if you wield a shield or what.
**[19:37] Erhard**
Nice to meet ya, kid!
**[19:40] Erhard**
Anyway, boss,
**[19:42] Erhard**
could you provide Sir Hero
with the equipment he needs?
**[19:45] Erhard**
Our budget is, let's see...
Around 250 silvers.
**[19:49] Erhard**
Left to right, that's iron, magic iron,
**[19:52] Erhard**
magic steel, and silver iron
in ascending order of cost.
**[19:55] Erhard**
I guarantee they're all
quality swords, though.
**[19:57] Naofumi**
Wow. With one of these, even I could...
**[20:02] Naofumi**
What the...
**[20:08] Naofumi**
Seriously, what's going on?
**[20:09] Erhard**
I don't get it, either.
**[20:12] Myne**
It looked like it just
flew out of your hand.
**[20:15] Naofumi**
What?
***SIGN*** Legendary Weapon Rule Violation:
Holding non-assigned weapon
**[20:18] Naofumi**
"Rule Violation"?
***SIGN*** A hero may not hold, with intent to fight,
any weapon other than their assigned legendary weapon
**[20:20] Naofumi**
What the hell?
**[20:23] Naofumi**
* How am I supposed to fight*
* with just a shield?*
**[20:26] Naofumi**
Well, looks like I can't use any
weapons other than this shield.
**[20:30] Erhard**
How does that work?
**[20:35] Erhard**
It looks like any other small
shield at first glance.
**[20:39] Erhard**
Doesn't this thing come off?
**[20:41] Naofumi**
I can move it around, but I can't
seem to remove it from my body.
**[20:45] Erhard**
That's so weird.
**[20:47] Erhard**
I sense a great amount
of power in this thing,
**[20:49] Erhard**
but even my appraisal magic
isn't telling me much.
**[20:52] Naofumi**
Right...
**[20:54] Erhard**
Well, thanks for showing
me something interesting.
**[20:57] Erhard**
Want to buy some armor instead?
**[21:00] Erhard**
Oh, hey.
**[21:01] Erhard**
You're starting to look the part now.
**[21:05] Naofumi**
Thanks.

**[21:09] Myne**
How much is it?
**[21:11] Erhard**
I'll give you a discount. 120 silvers.
**[21:13] Myne**
How much would you buy it for?
**[21:15] Erhard**
Huh? Well, if it's mostly new,
I'd pay 100 silvers.
**[21:20] Naofumi**
Why do you ask?
**[21:22] Myne**
When you grow stronger,
you won't need it anymore.
**[21:25] Myne**
That's why I asked him how much
we could sell it back for.
**[21:28] Naofumi**
Makes sense.
**[21:29] Myne**
All right. We'll take it.
**[21:31] Erhard**
Thanks! I'll throw in some
innerwear to show my gratitude!
**[21:36] Myne**
Shall we head off to battle now, Sir Hero?
**[21:40] Naofumi**
Y-Yeah!
**[21:41] Naofumi**
*Time to level up, huh?*
**[21:43] Naofumi**
*My adventure's finally beginning!*
**[22:52] Myne**
Wow. There's no limit to
how much it can absorb.
***SIGN*** Absorbed Orange Balloon x1
**[22:58] Myne**
This must be the power
of a legendary weapon.
**[23:02] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[23:03] Naofumi**
This must be why I don't feel
pain when I'm bitten, too.
**[23:07] Naofumi**
Looks like I need a lot more fodder before
I can upgrade it to a different shield.
**[23:11] Myne**
I see.
**[23:13] Naofumi**
By the way, can we sell these
orange balloon fragments?
**[23:18] Myne**
Yes, but only for one copper coin at most.
**[23:22] Naofumi**
* Looking at how Ren destroyed them,*
* they must be really weak monsters.*
**[23:26] Naofumi**
*I guess that's all they're worth.*
**[23:27] Naofumi**
That should be enough shield fodder.
**[23:31] Naofumi**
It should evolve as I level up, too.
**[23:35] Myne**
Let's call it a day and head
back to the weapons shop.
**[23:39] Myne**
If we buy me some new equipment,
we can go that much farther tomorrow.
**[23:44] Naofumi**
Fair enough.
**[23:47] Erhard**
Equipment for the lady, huh?
**[23:50] Erhard**
Sure, you'll be much stronger
with good equipment.
**[23:54] Myne**
Right?
**[23:55] Naofumi**
This might get expensive,
so I should start haggling now.
**[24:00] Erhard**
I see our hero is a real comedian.
**[24:03] Naofumi**
Eighty percent off.
**[24:04] Erhard**
Are you stupid? Twenty percent extra!
**[24:06] Naofumi**
Wh-Why's it going up?
Eighty-nine percent off!
**[24:08] Erhard**
Anyone who tries to haggle without even
seeing the goods deserves to pay double!
**[24:13] Naofumi**
Keep talking! Ninety percent off!
**[24:15] Erhard**
Twenty-nine percent extra!
**[24:16] Naofumi**
Seriously, stop raising the price!
One hundred percent off!
**[24:19] Erhard**
That's just free, kid!
**[24:21] Naofumi**
Free's fine by me!
**[24:21] Myne**
Hup.
**[24:24] Naofumi**
Boss, how much is that in total?
At sixty percent off.
**[24:27] Erhard**
Four hundred and eighty silvers with
a discount. I can't go any lower.
**[24:32] Naofumi**
Uh, that'll leave us with 200 silvers...
**[24:36] Naofumi**
Myne, can you downgrade a bit?
**[24:38] Naofumi**
I don't know how much we'll have to spend
on inns and other living expenses yet.
**[24:41] Myne**
It'll be fine, Sir Hero.
**[24:43] Myne**
The stronger I am, the more
loot we'll get from monsters.
**[24:47] Myne**
That should keep us going.
**[24:50] Naofumi**
* There's the otherworld trope*
* I've been waiting for!*
**[24:54] Naofumi**
F-Fine, I guess.
**[24:56] Naofumi**
All right. We'll take these, boss.
**[24:59] Erhard**
Thanks a ton!
**[25:01] Erhard**
I see our hero's got a
real nose for good deals.
**[25:04] Myne**
Thank you, Sir Hero.
**[25:07] Naofumi**
By the way, boss, do you know a
place that'll buy these fragments?
**[25:11] Erhard**
There are shops that buy monster materials.
**[25:13] Erhard**
They'll buy most things off of ya.
**[25:16] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[25:19] Naofumi**
Yum!
**[25:20] Naofumi**
The food at the castle was great too,
**[25:23] Naofumi**
but a pub is where you experience
real otherworld cuisine!
**[25:27] Myne**
I hope you relish the meal.
**[25:30] Naofumi**
The meadow we fought in
was over here, right?
**[25:34] Myne**
Yes.
**[25:34] Myne**
Tomorrow, we'll be heading to Lafan
Village, which lies beyond this map.
**[25:38] Myne**
Past Lafan Village lies a dungeon
for rookie adventurers.
**[25:43] Naofumi**
A dungeon?
**[25:44] Myne**
We won't make much money there, but it's
the perfect spot for you to level up.
**[25:49] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[25:51] Myne**
Now that I have new equipment,
**[25:53] Myne**
it should be a walk in the
park with you defending me.
**[25:56] Naofumi**
Thanks. Very informative.
**[25:59] Myne**
No problem.
**[26:00] Myne**
By the way, Sir Hero,
**[26:03] Myne**
aren't you going to drink your wine?
**[26:06] Naofumi**
Nah, I'm not into booze.
**[26:09] Myne**
Really? This is pretty good, you know.
**[26:17] Myne**
I'd love to drink with you.
**[26:24] Naofumi**
*She suddenly became twice as seductive!*
**[26:27] Naofumi**
*But...*
**[26:27] Naofumi**
S-Sorry. I really don't like it.
**[26:30] Myne**
Is that so? That's too bad.
**[26:34] Myne**
That's a hero for you, I suppose.
**[26:36] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[26:38] Myne**
This country is a matriarchy.
**[26:40] Myne**
No man would ever dare turn down
a drink offered by a woman.
**[26:45] Naofumi**
Really? I'm not very good at
picking up on this stuff.
**[26:49] Myne**
Don't worry about it.
**[26:51] Naofumi**
I'm glad we got to discuss
our plans moving forward.
**[26:55] Naofumi**
I'd like to turn in early tonight.
Is that okay?
**[26:58] Myne**
Of course.
**[26:59] Myne**
I'll head up after I drink some more...
**[27:02] Myne**
Although I feel *so* lonely drinking alone.
**[27:04] Naofumi**
H-Hey, Myne?
**[27:07] Naofumi**
Thanks for joining me, a shield
hero who can't fight at all.
**[27:13] Naofumi**
I turned you down tonight,
but I'll make it up to you someday.
**[27:17] Myne**
It's totally fine.
**[27:19] Myne**
Good night, Sir Hero.
**[27:22] Naofumi**
Night.
**[27:29] Naofumi**
Two hundred silvers left.
**[27:31] Naofumi**
Two rooms at 30 coppers a night each,
**[27:35] Naofumi**
and meals for two at five coppers each...
**[27:38] Naofumi**
That leaves a little more than 199 silvers.
**[27:43] Naofumi**
I'm such a stereotypical Japanese tourist,
stashing money like this.
**[27:49] Naofumi**
What a day.
**[27:53] Naofumi**
* I wonder if that's how it truly*
* feels to kill a monster.*
**[27:57] Naofumi**
*I just went around popping balloons today.*
**[28:00] Naofumi**
*But man, I really did come to another world!*
**[28:08] Motoyasu**
I leveled up quite a bit today.
**[28:10] Itsuki**
I won't let you outshine me tomorrow.
**[28:13] Motoyasu**
See you tomorrow, then.
**[28:13] Naofumi**
*Is that Motoyasu and Itsuki?*
**[28:14] Itsuki**
See you.
**[28:18] Naofumi**
Guess I'll sleep.
**[28:20] Naofumi**
Early start tomorrow and all.
**[28:36] Naofumi**
Time to get some breakfast and head out!
**[28:40] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[28:41] Naofumi**
Gone...
**[28:43] Naofumi**
It's gone!
**[28:44] Naofumi**
The silvers, the chain mail,
**[28:46] Naofumi**
and even my own clothes I'd
kept for a rainy day are gone!
**[28:50] Naofumi**
No way...
**[28:51] Naofumi**
I got robbed in my sleep?!
**[29:01] Naofumi**
Big trouble, Myne! Our money
and equipment is gone!
**[29:06] Naofumi**
Are you still asleep?
**[29:07] Naofumi**
Wake up, Myne! We've got big trouble!
**[29:10] Naofumi**
You're knights from the castle, right?
**[29:13] Naofumi**
I'm glad you're here. Listen to this...
**[29:15] Guard**
The Shield Hero, yes?
**[29:17] Naofumi**
Yeah, why?
**[29:19] Guard**
The king has issued a summons for you.
**[29:22] Guard**
Come with us.
**[29:25] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[29:28] Naofumi**
That hurts!
**[29:31] Naofumi**
What's going on?
**[29:35] Naofumi**
Myne! You're okay?
**[29:38] Naofumi**
Myne?
**[29:42] Naofumi**
Yo, King!
**[29:43] Naofumi**
I had all my money and equipment other than
the shield stolen while I was asleep!
**[29:49] Naofumi**
Please find the thief—
**[29:50] Aultcray**
Quiet, scumbag!
**[29:52] Naofumi**
What's that about?
**[29:54] Aultcray**
Myne, you poor adventurer,
**[29:56] Aultcray**
could you please testify once more for us?
**[30:01] Myne**
Th-The Shield Hero barged into my
room drunk and pinned me down...
**[30:09] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[30:10] Myne**
He said, "The night is still young,"
**[30:13] Myne**
and tore my clothes off!
**[30:17] Myne**
I somehow escaped
**[30:20] Myne**
and ran to Sir Motoyasu, who happened to
be staying in the same inn, for help!
**[30:28] Naofumi**
Wh-What the hell?
**[30:30] Motoyasu**
If she hadn't asked me to wait
till dawn and call the knights,
**[30:33] Motoyasu**
I would've cut you down myself!
**[30:36] Naofumi**
What are you talking about?!
**[30:37] Naofumi**
I went straight to bed
after dinner last night!
**[30:41] Naofumi**
Wait, that chain mail...
**[30:44] Naofumi**
You were the robber?!
**[30:46] Motoyasu**
Who are you calling a robber?
**[30:49] Motoyasu**
Myne gave this to me as a present
when I met her at the pub yesterday.
**[30:55] Aultcray**
To think the Shield Hero would commit
the gravest sin in this country.
**[31:00] Motoyasu**
Sin?
**[31:01] Minister**
In Melromarc, even attempting to sexually
assault a woman is punishable by death!
**[31:07] Aultcray**
If you weren't a hero,
you would be executed immediately!
**[31:11] Naofumi**
Executed?
**[31:13] Naofumi**
I'm telling you, you've got the wrong idea!
**[31:15] Naofumi**
I didn't do it!
**[31:17] Naofumi**
If you're so convinced I did,
show me the proof!
**[31:22] Knight**
When we searched the Shield Hero's room,
**[31:24] Knight**
um, we found this on his bed.
**[31:29] Myne**
Eek!
**[31:30] Motoyasu**
You animal!
**[31:32] Aultcray**
There you have it. Undeniable proof.
**[31:34] Naofumi**
How? It wasn't there when I woke up!
**[31:38] Itsuki**
It's too bad.
**[31:39] Itsuki**
I was worried something bad might happen,
but I was hoping you'd know better.
**[31:42] Ren**
He thinks a hero can do whatever the
hell he wants and get away with it.
**[31:46] Naofumi**
That's not even the least bit true.
**[31:49] Motoyasu**
You're not the be all and
end all in this world!
**[31:53] Motoyasu**
Know your place!
**[31:57] Naofumi**
*What is all this?*
**[32:00] Naofumi**
*What the hell is going on?*
**[32:02] Naofumi**
*Myne... Myne!*
**[32:04] Naofumi**
*Why would you lie like that?*
**[32:05] Naofumi**
*Weren't we supposed to be a party?*
**[32:13] Naofumi**
*I see.*
**[32:14] Naofumi**
* Joining me was just a ruse*
* to destroy me right here.*
**[32:18] Naofumi**
*It was all a lie!*
**[32:20] Naofumi**
* The smiles she showed me, and her*
* acts of kindness, were all fake!*
**[32:26] Naofumi**
You tricked me!
**[32:29] Naofumi**
It was a setup all along!
**[32:31] Myne**
Sir Motoyasu, I'm so scared!
**[32:33] Motoyasu**
Shut your mouth, you criminal!
**[32:35] Naofumi**
Screw you, too!
**[32:37] Naofumi**
I bet you did all this to
steal my money and equipment!
**[32:40] Naofumi**
You two planned this together, didn't you?!
**[32:43] Naofumi**
*Yeah, come to think of it...*
**[32:45] Naofumi**
*Myne only ever called me "Sir Hero,"*
**[32:49] Naofumi**
*but she's calling Motoyasu by name!*
**[32:51] Naofumi**
* If that isn't proof they were in it together,*
* I don't know what is!*
**[32:55] Ren**
Refusing to admit his guilt and
making nonsensical accusations?
**[33:00] Itsuki**
I know, right?
**[33:01] Itsuki**
I don't think he deserves any mercy, either.
**[33:03] Noble B**
It really was a mistake to
summon all four together.
**[33:08] Noble C**
Exactly. They never should've
summoned the Shield Hero.
**[33:11] Noble A**
But who would've thought he'd be such scum?
**[33:14] Naofumi**
* The shield... It's all*
* about the shield again?*
**[33:17] Naofumi**
*Because I'm the Shield Hero...*
**[33:19] Naofumi**
* Because I'm weak, they're trying to knock*
* me down to make themselves look better.*
**[33:26] Naofumi**
*Disgusting.*
**[33:28] Naofumi**
* These people are all*
* dirty, disgusting filth!*
**[33:31] Naofumi**
* This country's people don't*
* believe in me one bit, too.*
**[33:35] Naofumi**
*Why should I have to fight for them?*
**[33:39] Naofumi**
Fine. I don't care anymore.
**[33:42] Naofumi**
Just send me back to my world.
**[33:45] Naofumi**
And summon a new Shield Hero
or whatever the hell you want!
**[33:48] Naofumi**
Another world? Screw that!
**[33:50] Naofumi**
Why should I have to go through
this in a whole different world?!
**[33:53] Ren**
You're going to run as
soon as things go south?
**[33:56] Ren**
Could you stoop any lower?
**[33:57] Itsuki**
After all you've done, how could you
even think about not doing your job?
**[34:01] Motoyasu**
Yeah, get lost.
**[34:03] Motoyasu**
Who wants to fight alongside a rapist?
**[34:06] Naofumi**
Shut up!
**[34:07] Naofumi**
Now, send me back to my world already!
**[34:10] Aultcray**
Well, I'd love to do as you
wish and kick you out,
**[34:15] Aultcray**
but legend says new heroes can only be
summoned once all Four Cardinal Heroes die.
**[34:22] Ren**
What?
**[34:23] Motoyasu**
No way...
**[34:25] Naofumi**
So I can't even go home?
**[34:28] Aultcray**
Well, you can certainly go home after
you fight off all the incoming Waves.
**[34:36] Motoyasu**
Are you saying we'll have to
fight alongside a guy like him?
**[34:40] Naofumi**
Screw that!
**[34:43] Naofumi**
I'll handle the Waves my way, then!
**[34:48] Knight**
Don't move!
**[34:49] Naofumi**
Get off of me already!
**[34:52] Knight**
This guy...
**[34:56] Naofumi**
What'll it be?
**[34:58] Naofumi**
Will you throw me in jail
until the Waves arrive?
**[35:01] Aultcray**
I won't imprison you.
**[35:03] Aultcray**
There's hardly any time until the next Wave.
**[35:05] Aultcray**
Scum or not, you're still a hero, one of
the only beings who can fight the Waves.
**[35:10] Aultcray**
But news of your crime is already
spreading among the people.
**[35:13] Aultcray**
That is your punishment.
**[35:15] Aultcray**
Don't think you'll ever get to lead
a decent life in this country.
**[35:19] Naofumi**
I know that already!
**[35:26] Naofumi**
This is what you wanted, right?
**[35:29] Naofumi**
You can shove it up your ass!
**[35:32] Motoyasu**
Hey! Wait a second!
**[35:37] Naofumi**
I'm really weak, you see.
**[35:39] Naofumi**
I don't have a second to waste.
**[35:48] Naofumi**
*And just like that,*
**[35:50] Naofumi**
*all my money, respect, and trust was gone.*
**[35:54] Naofumi**
*I lost it all.*
**[36:04] Erhard**
Hey, kid with the shield.
**[36:08] Erhard**
I heard what you did to that girl.
**[36:11] Erhard**
You deserve a punch to the face!
**[36:14] Naofumi**
You too?
**[36:17] Erhard**
You...
**[36:20] Naofumi**
What? Weren't you going to punch me?
**[36:23] Erhard**
I changed my mind.
**[36:24] Naofumi**
Good. You were about to
lose your life there.
**[36:27] Erhard**
Wait a second.
**[36:34] Erhard**
You'll never make it dressed like that.
Consider this a parting gift.
**[36:38] Naofumi**
How much?
**[36:40] Erhard**
Doesn't matter.
**[36:41] Erhard**
But let's call it a clearance
sale and say five coppers.
**[36:44] Naofumi**
Gotcha.
**[36:47] Naofumi**
I promise to come pay you someday.
**[36:51] Erhard**
*Don't die, kid.*

**[37:25] Naofumi**
I fight all night and finally hit Level 2, huh?
**[37:44] Merchant**
Well, for these things...
**[37:47] Merchant**
How does 1 copper for a pair sound?
**[37:50] Adventurer**
Sure. I'll take that.
**[37:52] Merchant**
Thanks.
**[37:55] Merchant**
Come again.
**[37:59] Merchant**
Welcome.
**[38:04] Naofumi**
Buy these.
**[38:06] Merchant**
Oh? Orange balloons, huh?
**[38:10] Merchant**
Twenty in all.
**[38:12] Merchant**
How does 1 copper sound?
**[38:16] Naofumi**
Didn't you offer that guy 1 copper for two?
**[38:20] Merchant**
Did I, now?
**[38:23] Merchant**
You must understand,
I have a business to run.
**[38:25] Naofumi**
That so?
**[38:27] Naofumi**
Will these things fetch
a better price, then?
**[38:30] Naofumi**
They're pretty lively.
**[38:33] Merchant**
Gah!
**[38:35] Merchant**
S-Stop it!
**[38:37] Naofumi**
I'm not trying to rip you off here.
**[38:39] Naofumi**
All I want is a fair market price.
**[38:41] Naofumi**
Or wait, do you hate me
for some reason, maybe?
**[38:45] Merchant**
F-Fine! I get it!
**[38:47] Merchant**
I understand, so get these things off me!
**[38:50] Naofumi**
We have a deal.
**[38:52] Naofumi**
Instead of trying to fleece me,
if you buy from me regularly,
**[38:55] Naofumi**
I'm willing to give you a small discount.
**[38:58] Merchant**
C-Consider it done!
**[39:00] Merchant**
As much as I'd like to refuse,
the goods and money are without sin.
**[39:07] Naofumi**
Also, feel free to tell people all about me.
**[39:11] Naofumi**
Tell them that any trader that messes with
me will end up with bite marks all over.
**[39:15] Merchant**
No need to ask me. I was
about to do just that.
**[39:17] Naofumi**
To a long business relationship.
**[39:49] Naofumi**
Aren't these...
***SIGN*** New Shields Unlocked
***SIGN*** There are shields with available skill unlocks.
***SIGN*** Mastery Bonus
When a shield is used for a while to achieve a certain level of proficiency,
it will grant its wielder permanent bonuses.
**[40:04] Naofumi**
So by mastering a shield, I can keep its
abilities even after I switch to another one?
**[40:12] Naofumi**
Leaf Shield.
**[40:20] Naofumi**
This really is like a game,
through and through.
***SIGN*** Foraging Skill 1 Activated

**[40:35] Herbalist**
Wow, this is good stuff.
**[40:38] Herbalist**
Where did you get these?
**[40:39] Naofumi**
In the forest right outside the castle.
**[40:41] Naofumi**
Didn't you know?
**[40:43] Herbalist**
Hmm... I never knew you could
find such fine stuff there.
**[40:47] Herbalist**
I was sure the quality was more average.
**[40:58] Naofumi**
* Ever since that day,*
* nothing I eat has any flavor.*
**[41:01] Punk A**
O Great Shield Hero,
**[41:03] Punk A**
we'll join your party.
**[41:05] Punk B**
Yeah, yeah. Thank your lucky stars.
**[41:10] Naofumi**
Let's go ahead and discuss the terms first.
**[41:15] Punk B**
Okay!
**[41:16] Punk B**
Your pay will be entirely performance-based.
**[41:19] Punk B**
I trust you know what that means.
**[41:21] Punk A**
Nope, no clue!
**[41:24] Naofumi**
It means you'll be paid according to
the loot we get on our adventure.
**[41:28] Naofumi**
I'm the leader, so I'll
take at least 40 percent.
**[41:32] Naofumi**
I'll split the rest at my discretion.
**[41:36] Naofumi**
If you do nothing, you get paid nothing.
**[41:40] Punk A**
The hell? That means you could
keep it all for yourself!
**[41:45] Naofumi**
I promise to pay you if you do your job.
**[41:47] Naofumi**
*If* you can do your job.
**[41:50] Punk B**
Let's go get us some equipment, then!
**[41:53] Naofumi**
Buy your equipment yourselves.
**[41:55] Naofumi**
I have no reason to do that much for you.
**[41:59] Punk B**
Huh?
**[41:59] Punk A**
Forget it. Just hand over your money.
**[42:03] Naofumi**
If you'd said that to begin with,
we could've saved some time.
**[42:08] Punk C**
What do we have here?
**[42:09] Punk C**
Aren't you awfully obedient.
**[42:14] Punk A**
Quit freakin' out!
**[42:19] Punk A**
Ow...
**[42:22] Punk B**
Shit!
**[42:29] Naofumi**
I have the defense,
but lack offensive ability.
**[42:33] Naofumi**
Because I lack it, I can't defeat monsters.
**[42:35] Naofumi**
And because I can't defeat
them, I can't farm EXP.
**[42:38] Naofumi**
And because I can't farm,
my offensive ability never goes up.
**[42:43] Naofumi**
What an awful cycle!
**[42:44] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[42:52] SlaveT**
You seem to be having trouble.
**[43:00] SlaveT**
You don't have help.
**[43:02] SlaveT**
But I have just what you need.
**[43:05] Naofumi**
If you're offering me party members,
thanks but no thanks.
**[43:07] SlaveT**
Party members?
**[43:08] SlaveT**
Please. What I'm offering you is
a service far more convenient.
**[43:14] Naofumi**
What would that be?
**[43:16] SlaveT**
Interested, are we?
**[43:18] Naofumi**
Get away from me.
**[43:21] SlaveT**
That look in your eyes
is the kind I just love.
**[43:24] SlaveT**
You're every bit the man
the rumors said you were.
**[43:27] Naofumi**
You know who I am?
**[43:29] SlaveT**
Of course I do, Shield Hero.
**[43:33] SlaveT**
If my offer interests you, please follow me.
**[43:50] SlaveT**
Here we are.
**[43:53] Naofumi**
So, what exactly are you offering me?
**[43:58] SlaveT**
Can't you tell at a glance?
**[44:00] SlaveT**
Slaves!
**[44:02] Naofumi**
Slaves?
**[44:03] SlaveT**
Yes. I run a slave trading business.
**[44:08] Naofumi**
What makes you think I want a slave?
**[44:11] SlaveT**
The fact that they cannot
lie or betray their master.
**[44:17] SlaveT**
Slaves are placed under
the effect of a curse.
**[44:22] SlaveT**
A strong, seal-based curse that
can take their very lives.
**[44:27] SlaveT**
What do you say?
**[44:30] Naofumi**
Show me what you've got.
**[44:32] SlaveT**
I knew it. You have everything it
takes to be a most wonderful patron.
**[44:40] Naofumi**
I see ones that aren't human, too.
**[44:42] SlaveT**
You can call them human, technically.
**[44:45] Naofumi**
Tell me more. I don't know
much about this world.
**[44:49] SlaveT**
Creatures that look human but
aren't are called demi-humans.
**[44:55] SlaveT**
They're mostly used in manual
labor or as servants.
**[44:59] SlaveT**
Beastmen are demi-humans whose appearance
leans more toward the animal side.
**[45:04] SlaveT**
They're used as bodyguards or as participants
in death matches that are gambled on.
**[45:09] Naofumi**
I see.
**[45:10] Naofumi**
But they both fall under
the same category, huh?
**[45:12] SlaveT**
Indeed. And since demi-humans are
thought to be closer to monsters,
**[45:17] SlaveT**
life would be hard for them in this country,
which practices human supremacy.
**[45:21] SlaveT**
As such, they're treated as slaves.

**[00:15] SlaveT**
Sir...
**[00:17] SlaveT**
This slave here is my recommendation.
**[00:26] SlaveT**
It's level 75.
**[00:28] Naofumi**
*That's close to twenty times my level.*
**[00:32] Naofumi**
How much for this one?
**[00:33] SlaveT**
Well, it is highly capable in battle.
**[00:37] SlaveT**
How does 15 gold pieces sound?
**[00:40] Naofumi**
Showing me your most expensive slave
knowing that I can't afford it, huh?
**[00:44] SlaveT**
Indeed. You're sure to become
one of my best patrons,
**[00:48] SlaveT**
so I need you to develop
a keen eye, you see.
**[00:53] SlaveT**
Well...
**[00:54] SlaveT**
Now that you've seen my best,
**[00:57] SlaveT**
let me ask you: what kind
of slave would you like?
**[01:01] Naofumi**
One that's cheap and obedient.
**[01:04] SlaveT**
In other words,
**[01:05] SlaveT**
a demi-human?
**[01:08] SlaveT**
These aren't suited for
combat or manual labor.
**[01:12] Naofumi**
If I need them in battle, I'll train them.
**[01:14] SlaveT**
That's an amusing response,
**[01:16] SlaveT**
when you don't believe in people.
**[01:19] Naofumi**
But slaves aren't people.
**[01:21] Naofumi**
Training one is no different
than upgrading my shield.
**[01:25] SlaveT**
Well, you've got me there.
**[01:29] SlaveT**
These are the cheapest
slaves I can offer you.
**[01:33] SlaveT**
From the left...
**[01:34] Naofumi**
Raise your head.
**[01:41] SlaveT**
That half-raccoon is diseased
and has a mental disorder.
**[01:45] SlaveT**
I'm having a real hard time with her myself.
**[01:50] SlaveT**
Her previous owner loved
his torture, you see.
**[01:54] SlaveT**
I doubt she'll last much longer.
**[01:57] Naofumi**
I've decided.
**[01:59] Naofumi**
I'll take this one.

**[04:24] SlaveT**
There's one extra in here.
**[04:26] Naofumi**
That's your commission.
**[04:28] Naofumi**
You were going to wring it out
of me anyway, weren't you?
**[04:30] SlaveT**
You certainly know your stuff.
**[04:33] Naofumi**
Well, I guess I should know your name.
**[04:37] Naofumi**
Tell me your name.
**[04:40] Naofumi**
What's your name?
**[04:41] Raphtalia**
R-Raphtalia...
**[04:44] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, huh?
**[04:48] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[04:51] SlaveT**
I'm looking forward to your next visit.
**[04:58] SlaveT**
So he really did choose her.
**[05:00] SlaveT**
I'm getting goosebumps!
**[05:05] Erhard**
Welcome!
**[05:08] Erhard**
Oh, it's you, kid.
**[05:11] Erhard**
Hey, hey... What's with the girl?
**[05:16] Naofumi**
Give me a weapon she can use.
**[05:19] Naofumi**
Keep it under six silvers.
**[05:23] Naofumi**
Took you long enough.
**[05:25] Raphtalia**
I-I'm sorry.
**[05:27] Naofumi**
Whatever.
**[05:29] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, draw your knife.
**[05:36] Naofumi**
Let me see you stab and burst this thing.
**[05:38] Raphtalia**
N-No...
**[05:40] Naofumi**
This is an order!
**[05:45] Naofumi**
You only hurt yourself by refusing.
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Do it!
**[05:55] Naofumi**
Too weak!
**[05:56] Naofumi**
Put more heart in it!
**[05:58] Naofumi**
Do it!
**[06:07] Naofumi**
Huh? I got EXP, too?
**[06:09] Erhard**
Probably because you set her as a
companion when forming the pact.
**[06:13] Erhard**
Wait, you didn't do that
with the lady from before?
**[06:17] Naofumi**
Damn that woman...
**[06:19] Naofumi**
Listen up.
**[06:21] Naofumi**
From here on out, I expect you
to fight monsters for me.
**[06:27] Naofumi**
I bought you with what little money I had.
**[06:29] Naofumi**
You'd better help me recoup
your cost, at least.
**[06:32] Erhard**
Kid, you're not going to
die a painless death.
**[06:35] Naofumi**
Thanks for the compliment.
**[06:39] Naofumi**
Quit sitting around. Let's go.
**[06:41] Raphtalia**
Y-Yes!
**[06:45] Erhard**
Sheesh...
**[06:46] Erhard**
I don't know whether it's our country to blame,
or if the kid's just been corrupted.
**[06:53] Naofumi**
Three silvers left...
**[06:57] Merchant**
Get a move on!
**[07:00] Merchant**
We don't have all day, you little shits!
**[07:04] Merchant**
What's wrong with you, you moron?!
**[07:06] Slave**
I'm sorry!
**[07:08] Naofumi**
Are you hungry?
**[07:10] Raphtalia**
No.
**[07:11] Naofumi**
You can't fight on an empty stomach.
**[07:13] Naofumi**
Let's get some lunch.
***SIGN*** We don't serve demi-humans.

U-Um...

This place...
**[07:24] Naofumi**
Hurry up!
**[07:28] Waiter**
Welcome!
**[07:30] Waiter**
Ack, it's the Shield Hero...
**[07:32] Man**
Is he the rapist?
**[07:34] Man**
Keep it down! He'll hear you!
**[07:35] Naofumi**
Can I order?
**[07:36] Waiter**
Huh? I-I guess...
**[07:39] Man**
Look, it's a demi-human.
**[07:40] Man**
Why's a demi here?
**[07:41] Naofumi**
The cheapest lunch set you have.
**[07:42] Man**
Someone kick her out!
**[07:44] Naofumi**
And she'll have whatever that kid's having.
**[07:47] Waiter**
That'll be nine coppers.
**[07:49] Naofumi**
Sure.
**[07:54] Raphtalia**
Why?
**[07:55] Naofumi**
Did you want something else?
**[07:58] Raphtalia**
Why are you getting it for me?
**[08:01] Naofumi**
Because you looked like
you wanted to try it.
**[08:07] Waiter**
Here's your food.
**[08:13] Naofumi**
Aren't you going to eat?
**[08:14] Raphtalia**
Can I really?
**[08:18] Naofumi**
Yes, just eat up.
**[08:36] Naofumi**
Drink this.
**[08:45] Naofumi**
Is it good?
**[08:48] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[08:55] Naofumi**
*I still don't taste a thing.*

Yeah.
**[09:38] Raphtalia's Father**
*Raphtalia...*
**[09:41] (Flashback) Raphtalia's Father**
Do you know of the four legendary heroes?
**[09:43] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Yep! The ones with the sword,
the bow, and the spear...
**[09:47] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
And then, the one with the shield!
**[09:50] (Flashback) Raphtalia's Father**
Correct.
**[09:50] (Flashback) Raphtalia's Father**
The Shield Hero, in particular,
treated us demi-humans very well.
**[09:56] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Really? I'd like to meet him.
**[09:59] (Flashback) Raphtalia's Mother**
If you're a good girl, I'm sure
you'll meet him one day.
**[10:09] Raphtalia**
The Shield Hero...

U-Um... What is your name?
**[10:15] Naofumi**
Iwatani Naofumi.
**[10:17] Raphtalia**
Iwatani... Naofumi.
**[10:21] Naofumi**
Drink this.
**[10:24] Naofumi**
It's a medicine I blended.
**[10:26] Naofumi**
Apparently, it can cure mild colds.
**[10:29] Naofumi**
Drink it.
**[10:35] Raphtalia**
So bitter!
**[10:36] Naofumi**
Good medicine tastes bitter.
**[10:38] Naofumi**
Just drink it all.
**[11:03] (Flashback) Raphtalia's Father**
We're sorry, Raphtalia.
**[11:06] (Flashback) Raphtalia's Mother**
We want you to live, Raphtalia.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Raphtalia's Mother**
Please forgive our selfishness.
**[11:19] Raphtalia**
No!
**[11:22] Raphtalia**
Dad! Mom!
**[11:24] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[11:26] Naofumi**
Calm down!
**[11:27] Raphtalia**
No... Help...
**[11:27] Naofumi**
Just calm down.
**[11:30] Raphtalia**
No! Dad, Mom!
**[11:32] Naofumi**
Don't cry.
**[11:35] Naofumi**
It's okay.
**[11:39] Naofumi**
It's all right.
**[11:45] Herbalist**
The quality's not bad.
**[11:48] Herbalist**
Are you well versed in
making medicines, Sir Hero?
**[11:51] Naofumi**
Yesterday was my first try.
**[11:53] Herbalist**
Oh?
**[11:54] Naofumi**
Which is more profitable,
selling herbs or medicine?
**[11:57] Herbalist**
Due to the Wave's impact,
medicine is flying off the shelves lately,
**[12:02] Herbalist**
so I'd pay more for medicine than for herbs.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
I see.
**[12:08] Herbalist**
In total, this is worth four silvers.
**[12:11] Naofumi**
Say, do you have any tools
you don't use anymore?
**[12:14] Kid A**
Here we go!
**[12:15] Kid B**
Okay!
**[12:16] Kid A**
One, two...
**[12:17] Naofumi**
Raphtalia.
**[12:18] Kid A**
Hup!
**[12:20] Naofumi**
Do you want one of those balls?
**[12:23] Raphtalia**
N-Not at all!
**[12:24] Raphtalia**
I don't want it at all!
**[12:29] Naofumi**
*So she wants one, huh?*
**[12:34] Naofumi**
You can play with it *after*
we're done with work.
**[12:37] Raphtalia**
Thank you!
**[12:41] Innkeeper**
Coming!
**[12:42] Innkeeper**
Uh, the Shield Hero...
**[12:44] Naofumi**
I'd like to rent a room.
**[12:46] Naofumi**
My companion might scream at night, though.
**[12:50] Naofumi**
You *will* let us stay, right?
**[12:53] Innkeeper**
O-Of course! I'll prepare a room at once!
**[12:59] Naofumi**
* I have to find a way to survive before*
* the next Wave of Catastrophe hits.*
**[13:37] Naofumi**
All right. We can go a little
deeper into the forest now...
**[13:45] Naofumi**
A rabbit?
**[13:47] Naofumi**
Watch out!
**[13:49] Naofumi**
Now, Raphtalia! Stab it!
**[13:53] Naofumi**
What's wrong? Get on with it!
**[13:55] Raphtalia**
B-But... It'll bleed if I do...
**[13:58] Naofumi**
Hurry up!
**[13:59] Raphtalia**
I'm scared of blood!
**[14:05] Naofumi**
Listen well.
**[14:07] Naofumi**
If you can't fight, then I
won't be able to look after you anymore.
**[14:12] Naofumi**
A Wave that threatens the world's
existence is coming soon.
**[14:15] Naofumi**
I have to get as strong
as I can before it does.
**[14:18] Naofumi**
But defense is all I'm good for.
**[14:21] Naofumi**
I need someone to fight for me.
**[14:25] Naofumi**
If you can't do it, I'll get someone else.
**[14:29] Naofumi**
So...
**[14:30] Raphtalia**
You're going to fight the Catastrophe?
**[14:32] Naofumi**
That is my job.
**[14:36] Raphtalia**
Got it.
**[14:50] Raphtalia**
Master... I'll fight for you.
**[14:55] Raphtalia**
So please don't throw me away.
**[14:58] Naofumi**
All right.
**[15:01] Naofumi**
*This is reality.*
**[15:03] Naofumi**
*Not a game.*
**[15:04] Naofumi**
* If I want to live, I have*
* no choice but to fight!*
**[15:10] Naofumi**
Sell us a new weapon for this amount.
**[15:12] Erhard**
Time to get the little miss a sword, then.
**[15:18] Erhard**
One on the short side would
be good to start off.
**[15:21] Erhard**
How about this?
**[15:22] Erhard**
It's a short sword made of iron.
**[15:25] Naofumi**
Boss...
**[15:26] Naofumi**
Is there a town or village nearby that
we can travel to with our equipment?
**[15:30] Erhard**
Well, with your stuff, it'd have to be here.
***SIGN*** The Village of Lute
**[15:39] Naofumi**
How much?
**[15:40] Guy**
Around two silvers in all, I'd say.
**[15:45] Naofumi**
Is that so?
**[15:46] Naofumi**
Hey, do you know of any spots nearby
when you can earn a lot of money quick?
**[15:50] Guy**
Hmm...
**[15:52] Guy**
The ores from that coal pit over there
should fetch a decent amount, but...
**[15:58] Naofumi**
Is there a catch?
**[16:00] Guy**
Ever since the first Wave, it's become
home to a bunch of dangerous monsters.
**[16:04] Guy**
Nobody dares approach it anymore.
**[16:07] Naofumi**
I see.
**[16:08] Guy**
Sheesh! I don't know what our
summoned "heroes" are even doing.

**[16:44] Raphtalia**
Master?
**[16:48] Naofumi**
It's nothing. Let's go.
**[16:56] Naofumi**
There are dangerous
monsters here, apparently.
**[16:59] Naofumi**
The moment things go south, we run.
**[17:01] Naofumi**
You'd better keep up.
**[17:02] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[17:04] Raphtalia**
U...
**[17:05] Raphtalia**
Um...
**[17:06] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[17:08] Raphtalia**
How should I address you, Master?
**[17:12] Naofumi**
Call me whatever.
**[17:13] Raphtalia**
Th-Then...
**[17:19] Naofumi**
Is this the place?
**[17:22] Naofumi**
All right.
**[17:29] Raphtalia**
Are those...
**[17:31] Naofumi**
This will fetch a pretty penny.
**[17:33] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, let's try over there next...
**[17:45] Raphtalia**
No!
**[18:01] Naofumi**
You okay?
**[18:03] Raphtalia**
D-Dog monster...
**[18:05] Raphtalia**
Killed all the villagers,
even Dad and Mom...
**[18:10] Naofumi**
During the first Wave, huh?
**[18:13] Naofumi**
* So that's why she starts*
* crying every night.*
**[18:23] Naofumi**
Is that the same dog that
killed your parents?
**[18:26] Raphtalia**
No...
**[18:27] Naofumi**
Listen, Raphtalia.
**[18:29] Naofumi**
Take that thing out here and now.
**[18:33] Naofumi**
If you fight and make me stronger,
**[18:36] Naofumi**
we can fend off the Waves of Catastrophe
and prevent that tragedy from reoccurring.
**[18:40] Naofumi**
Your parents won't ever come back.
**[18:43] Naofumi**
But we can prevent other kids
from going through what you did.
**[18:47] Naofumi**
And all I'm capable of is making
sure you can fight as best you can!
**[18:59] Naofumi**
Now, Raphtalia!
**[19:02] Naofumi**
Stab it with your sword!
**[19:04] Naofumi**
Now!
**[19:06] Raphtalia**
No...
**[19:09] Naofumi**
If I die, so will you!
**[19:12] Raphtalia**
Please no!
**[19:12] Naofumi**
Then hurry up and kill it!
**[19:15] Naofumi**
This is an order!
**[19:32] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, forget it.
**[19:35] Naofumi**
If you can't fight, then get out of here.
**[19:39] Raphtalia**
But what about you?
**[19:40] Naofumi**
I'll buy time for you to escape.
**[19:43] Raphtalia**
What?
**[19:46] Raphtalia**
That'd be just like then...
**[19:51] Naofumi**
Hurry up and go!
**[19:52] Raphtalia**
Master!
**[19:55] Naofumi**
No...
**[19:58] Naofumi**
No!
**[20:03] Naofumi**
Don't go!
**[20:06] Naofumi**
Don't leave me!
**[20:14] Naofumi**
Don't die!
**[20:25] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[20:28] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Well done.
**[20:48] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[20:51] Naofumi**
Hey, even with the shield's power,
the wound still hurts!
**[20:55] Raphtalia**
Don't ever die! Please don't leave me alone!
**[20:59] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[21:01] Naofumi**
*She chose my name, huh?*
**[21:04] Naofumi**
You attack, and I defend.
**[21:08] Naofumi**
That way, neither of us will die.
**[21:10] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[21:12] Naofumi**
We're leaving once I feed
this monster to my shield.
**[21:15] Raphtalia**
Okay, Naofumi-sama.
**[21:20] Naofumi**
Get off already.
**[21:22] Raphtalia**
A bit longer...
**[23:00] Naofumi**
The ore made us a lot of money,
so you can eat all you want.
**[23:04] Raphtalia**
Thank you!
**[23:07] Naofumi**
Is it good?
**[23:08] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[23:09] Naofumi**
I see.
**[23:15] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[23:18] Raphtalia**
Let's survive, no matter what!
**[23:20] Naofumi**
Of course.
**[23:25] Naofumi**
Here. A kids' lunch...
**[23:28] Naofumi**
isn't complete without this.

Wait!
**[00:04] Naofumi**
* It's been a week since the*
* battle in the coal pit,*
**[00:07] Raphtalia**
Get back here!
**[00:13] Naofumi**
* and my shield's gained so many*

Shield Prison!
**[00:40] Naofumi**
*The Wave is almost here.*
**[00:42] Naofumi**
*It's about time we upgraded our equipment.*
**[00:45] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[00:47] Raphtalia**
I did it!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Wave of Catastrophe
**[02:21] Erhard**
Wow, I hardly recognized you!
**[02:27] Erhard**
You've turned into a real pretty lady.
**[02:31] Erhard**
I haven't seen you in a while.
**[02:32] Erhard**
What've you been up to?
**[02:34] Raphtalia**
I had the innkeeper teach me table manners.
**[02:37] Raphtalia**
I want to eat my food properly,
like Naofumi-sama does.
**[02:40] Erhard**
That so?
**[02:42] Erhard**
You've grown so much.
**[02:43] Erhard**
Nothing like the pipsqueak you used to be.
**[02:47] Naofumi**
You think?
**[02:50] Erhard**
Huh?
**[02:52] Erhard**
Someone's hard to please.
**[02:55] Naofumi**
I'm actually quite shocked, too.
**[02:57] Naofumi**
This country is full of lolicons.
**[03:01] (Flashback) Merchant**
Wow, Miss. You're adorable.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Merchant**
Have another one on the house.
**[03:05] Naofumi**
I can understand finding
little girls cute, but...
**[03:09] (Flashback) Merchant**
Take this, too.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Uh...
**[03:13] Naofumi**
You people take it too far.
**[03:17] Erhard**
Say, kid.
**[03:18] Erhard**
Don't you know what demi-humans are like?
**[03:21] Raphtalia**
Boss!
**[03:22] Raphtalia**
Forget that!
**[03:24] Raphtalia**
We're here to buy armor for Naofumi-sama!
**[03:27] Raphtalia**
Do you have any recommendations?
**[03:29] Naofumi**
What are you talking about?
**[03:31] Naofumi**
We're here for *your* equipment.
**[03:33] Raphtalia**
I appreciate the thought,
**[03:34] Raphtalia**
but think about yourself first!
**[03:37] Raphtalia**
Did you forget how you just
got hurt in the plains?
**[03:40] Naofumi**
No, but you need a weapon...
**[03:43] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[03:44] Raphtalia**
You'd best stop messing around,
**[03:48] Raphtalia**
or you will die.
**[03:52] Raphtalia**
Boss! This sword seems really sharp!
**[03:55] Erhard**
It's magic iron.
**[03:56] Erhard**
Wanna try it out?
**[03:58] Raphtalia**
Will you give us a discount?
**[04:00] Erhard**
Anything for you, miss.
**[04:04] Raphtalia**
Thank you so much!
**[04:05] Raphtalia**
While we're at it, could you
show us some armor, too?
**[04:08] Erhard**
Of course.
**[04:10] Naofumi**
*She stands up for herself now...*
**[04:12] Naofumi**
*Or maybe she's just rude...*
**[04:16] Raphtalia**
Our budget is around 180 silvers.
**[04:19] Erhard**
In that case...
**[04:22] Erhard**
How about this?
**[04:24] Naofumi**
I don't think it's my style...
**[04:27] Raphtalia**
Hmm...
**[04:28] Raphtalia**
Yeah, it will strip Naofumi-sama
of all his individuality.
**[04:32] Erhard**
Then I can whip up something made to order.
**[04:36] Raphtalia**
Made to order?!
**[04:37] Erhard**
Yeah.
**[04:38] Erhard**
If you don't mind me using materials
I've got on hand, I can finish by tomorrow...
**[04:41] Raphtalia**
Please do!
**[04:45] Raphtalia**
It was so nice of him to give us a
discount on that sword, huh?
**[04:48] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[04:49] Raphtalia**
He's a really nice guy.
**[04:54] Naofumi**
I'm not so sure...
**[04:56] Raphtalia**
That wasn't me!
**[04:59] Naofumi**
It was me.
**[05:00] Waiter**
Are you ready to order?
**[05:02] Naofumi**
I'll get the cheapest lunch set you have,
**[05:04] Naofumi**
and she'll have the kids' lunch.
**[05:07] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama! I'm not a kid anymore!
**[05:10] Raphtalia**
I'll get the cheapest lunch set, too!
**[05:13] Waiter**
R-Right away.
**[05:14] Naofumi**
You really don't need to
force yourself to act grown-up.
**[05:18] Raphtalia**
I'm not forcing it!
**[05:22] Naofumi**
Doesn't this make me
look like a typical villain?
**[05:25] Raphtalia**
So cool...
**[05:26] Raphtalia**
It suits you perfectly! You look great!
**[05:29] Erhard**
I call it the Barbarian Armor!
***SIGN*** Barbarian Armor
**[05:31] Erhard**
You're rocking it, kid.
**[05:33] Erhard**
You look like a real bandit.
**[05:35] Naofumi**
I'm supposed to be a hero, you know.
**[05:37] Raphtalia**
You look so dashing!
**[05:38] Naofumi**
Well, you did make it for me.
**[05:41] Naofumi**
It'd be a shame not to wear it.
**[05:55] Raphtalia**
The whole town is on edge now.
**[05:59] Naofumi**
The Wave is nearly here, after all.
**[06:01] Naofumi**
If only I knew when and where it'll start,
**[06:04] Naofumi**
I could come up with a plan.
**[06:06] Erhard**
Huh? Has nobody told you?
**[06:12] Erhard**
You know that church you
can see from the town square?
**[06:15] Erhard**
There's a huge hourglass inside.
**[06:17] Erhard**
When the last grain of sand in it falls,
the heroes and their parties
**[06:21] Erhard**
will be sent to where the
Wave begins, or so I hear.
**[06:28] Nun**
Come this way.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
Is this the dragon hourglass
the king was talking about?
**[06:48] Naofumi**
It's counting down to the Wave?
**[06:52] Motoyasu**
Is that Naofumi I see?
**[06:58] Motoyasu**
Dude, come on.
**[07:00] Motoyasu**
You're still fighting with
such flimsy equipment?
**[07:04] Raphtalia**
Who are they, Naofumi-sama?
**[07:11] Myne**
Hey! Motoyasu-sama's talking to you!
**[07:19] Motoyasu**
Hello.
**[07:21] Motoyasu**
I'm Kitamura Motoyasu, the Spear Hero.
**[07:25] Raphtalia**
Y-You're a hero?
**[07:27] Motoyasu**
So cute!
**[07:28] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama, why are you
complimenting a filthy demi-human?
**[07:32] Motoyasu**
A girl as adorable as you
shouldn't wield a sword.
**[07:36] Motoyasu**
I'll protect you.
**[07:42] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry!
**[07:43] Raphtalia**
I've sworn to fight with Naofumi-sama!
**[07:46] Motoyasu**
With Naofumi?
**[07:48] Motoyasu**
You can't.
**[07:49] Motoyasu**
If you stay with him, you'll be in danger—
**[07:53] Motoyasu**
What?
**[07:54] Motoyasu**
Am I not right?
**[08:00] Naofumi**
We're leaving!
**[08:02] Motoyasu**
Surely you've heard the
rumors about him, too.
**[08:08] Raphtalia**
*Rumors?*
**[08:15] Itsuki**
See you at the Wave.
**[08:16] Ren**
Don't hold us back.
**[08:32] Raphtalia**
U-Um...
**[08:34] Naofumi**
What?
**[08:35] Raphtalia**
Did something happen between
you and the other heroes?
**[08:39] Naofumi**
That's none of your business.
**[08:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama,
**[08:44] Raphtalia**
I...
**[08:49] Raphtalia**
I'll go ahead and turn in.
**[08:52] Raphtalia**
Good night.
**[08:57] Naofumi**
*Even when I tell the truth,*
**[09:01] Naofumi**
*nobody believes me, anyway.*
***SIGN*** The Day of the Wave of Catastrophe
**[09:15] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[09:17] Naofumi**
What's up?
**[09:22] Raphtalia**
Well, I just want to say...
**[09:27] Raphtalia**
I'm truly grateful I met you.
**[09:33] Raphtalia**
You cured my illness and fed me warm meals.
**[09:40] Raphtalia**
You taught me how to live.
**[09:44] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Your parents won't ever come back.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Naofumi**
But we can prevent other kids
from going through what you did.
**[09:56] Raphtalia**
And you gave me a reason to fight...
**[10:01] Raphtalia**
A reason to fight the Waves.
**[10:06] Raphtalia**
I am your sword!
**[10:10] Raphtalia**
Wherever you go, I will go with you.
**[10:16] Naofumi**
That so?
**[10:44] Naofumi**
Where are we?
**[10:48] Naofumi**
There it is.
**[10:53] Naofumi**
The Wave of Catastrophe.
**[11:12] Naofumi**
Those guys... Raphtalia, we're going!
**[11:15] Raphtalia**
Look there, Naofumi-sama!
**[11:16] Raphtalia**
It's the village of Lute!
**[11:19] Naofumi**
Have the villagers evacuated?
**[11:25] Naofumi**
A flare?
**[11:27] Naofumi**
They think their job's done once they let
the knights know where they are?
**[11:31] Naofumi**
* The castle isn't far away, but by*
* the time the knights get here,*
**[11:34] Naofumi**
*the village will be wiped out!*
**[11:38] Naofumi**
We're going!
**[11:39] Naofumi**
To Lute Village!
**[11:41] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[11:53] Raphtalia**
Are you all right?
**[11:56] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, go help the villagers evacuate.
**[11:59] Raphtalia**
But what about you?
**[12:01] Naofumi**
I'll...
**[12:03] Naofumi**
I'll lure the enemy away.
**[12:15] Vice Captain**
One of the heroes!
**[12:17] Vice Captain**
The Shield Hero is here for us!
**[12:22] Naofumi**
Listen up!
**[12:23] Naofumi**
I'll keep them occupied!
**[12:25] Naofumi**
Get out of here while you can!
**[12:29] Vice Captain**
H-Help me!
**[12:30] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[12:34] Naofumi**
Hurry up and run!
**[12:34] Kid**
Mom!
**[12:37] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[12:37] ---**
Mom!
**[12:43] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[12:56] Naofumi**
This way, you stupid zombies!
**[12:58] Naofumi**
Keep up with me if you can!
**[13:04] Naofumi**
* Why am I risking my life to*
* defend total strangers?*
**[13:10] Naofumi**
*I'm such a fool.*
**[13:13] Raphtalia**
Come this way, everyone!
**[13:16] Raphtalia**
Hurry!
**[13:31] Naofumi**
There's way too many of them.
**[13:34] Naofumi**
How can I minimize the damage to the village?
**[13:40] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[13:45] Guard A**
S-Stay away!
**[13:47] Guard B**
Damn it! Stay away!
**[13:52] Guard C**
No... Stop!
**[14:00] Naofumi**
Shit!
**[14:01] Naofumi**
It's showing no signs of slowing down.
**[14:03] Naofumi**
What are those guys doing?
**[14:05] Naofumi**
Hurry up and...
**[14:53] Naofumi**
Did I get them?
**[14:55] Vice Captain**
Sir Hero!
**[14:57] Naofumi**
Why'd you come back here?
**[14:59] Vice Captain**
We all changed our minds after seeing
how courageously you're fighting.
**[15:04] Vice Captain**
This village is our home.
**[15:07] Vice Captain**
We cannot run away and abandon it.
**[15:10] Vice Captain**
We'll fight with you.
**[15:12] Naofumi**
Got it.
**[15:13] Naofumi**
Help me keep the enemy pinned down
until the evacuation's complete.
**[15:24] Vice Captain**
Die, monster!
**[15:30] Naofumi**
You guys can't deal with this one!
Fall back!
**[15:34] Vice Captain**
But...
**[15:35] Naofumi**
Think about your families!
**[15:37] Naofumi**
Don't die here for no reason!
**[15:39] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[15:41] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[15:43] Naofumi**
Take care of it!
**[15:51] Naofumi**
Well done.
**[15:52] Vice Captain**
A-Amazing.
**[15:55] Raphtalia**
We'll handle things here.
Hurry up and evacuate.
**[15:57] Vice Captain**
Got it.
**[15:59] Vice Captain**
Please be safe.
**[16:03] Naofumi**
Well, then...
**[16:06] Naofumi**
The enemy's numbers aren't going down.
**[16:08] Naofumi**
What now?
**[16:14] Naofumi**
What's that?
**[16:17] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[16:34] Captain**
We burned them all to death at once.
**[16:40] Captain**
The Shield Hero?
**[16:41] Captain**
You're quite tough.
**[16:44] Naofumi**
Tch. They didn't care that we were here?
**[16:53] Raphtalia**
Did you do this knowing
Naofumi-sama was here?
**[16:55] Raphtalia**
Depending on your answer,
I'll have your head!
**[16:57] Captain**
Draw your swords.
**[17:00] Captain**
Are you with the Shield Hero?
**[17:02] Raphtalia**
I am Naofumi-sama's sword.
**[17:04] Raphtalia**
None may disrespect him in my presence.
**[17:06] Captain**
You think you can point your blade at the
royal knights, you damned demi-human?
**[17:10] Raphtalia**
What kind of knight neglects the
people he's meant to defend?
**[17:14] Naofumi**
Forget it, Raphtalia.
**[17:17] Raphtalia**
But...
**[17:18] Naofumi**
Drop it.
**[17:19] Captain**
That's right.
**[17:20] Captain**
So long as you behave yourself,
**[17:22] Captain**
we won't be forced to make any mistakes.
**[17:25] Naofumi**
I guess.
**[17:27] Naofumi**
I could sit tight and watch you
morons become monster feed.
**[17:32] Naofumi**
That doesn't sound too bad!
**[17:36] Captain**
D-Don't falter! Get in formation...
**[17:41] Naofumi**
Want to die an honorable death in battle?
**[17:43] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[17:44] Raphtalia**
Coming!
**[17:51] Naofumi**
Listen here! We'll buy you time!
**[17:53] Naofumi**
Use it to get in formation!
**[17:56] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raphtalia.
**[17:59] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[18:14] Captain**
Let the Shield handle this.
**[18:16] Captain**
We're heading to where the Three Heroes are!
**[18:23] Naofumi**
Now!
**[18:27] Vice Captain**
Support the Shield Hero!
Phalanx formation!
**[18:32] All**
Phalanx!
**[18:34] Vice Captain**
Charge!
**[18:37] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, look at the knights.
**[18:41] Captain**
Forget them. Let's go.
**[18:47] Itsuki**
Wind Arrow!
**[18:49] Ren**
Crimson Blade!
**[18:52] Motoyasu**
I'll end this!
**[18:54] Motoyasu**
Take this!
**[18:55] Motoyasu**
Lightning Spear!
**[19:01] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama... Look at the sky.
**[19:11] Motoyasu**
Walk in the park.
**[19:13] Ren**
This boss was a piece of cake.
**[19:15] Itsuki**
Indeed. The next Wave will
probably be easy, too.
**[19:19] Motoyasu**
By the way, where's Naofumi?
**[19:21] Myne**
It's good that he wasn't here.
**[19:23] Myne**
He'd just hold us back.
**[19:26] Motoyasu**
Obviously!
**[19:27] Captain**
Heroes!
**[19:32] Captain**
Well done!
**[19:33] Ren**
The knights, huh?
**[19:35] Motoyasu**
It's a bit late to show up now.
**[19:37] Itsuki**
Right?
**[19:39] Captain**
Now, now, don't say that.
**[19:42] Captain**
His Highness has rewards for each of you.
**[19:44] Captain**
Let us go see him.
**[20:13] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[20:17] Raphtalia**
I killed all the monsters
left in the village.
**[20:21] Naofumi**
I see.
**[20:23] Raphtalia**
Did we...
**[20:25] Raphtalia**
...win?
**[20:29] Vice Captain**
Sir Hero...
**[20:33] Vice Captain**
Thank you so much.
**[20:36] Vice Captain**
We couldn't have made it without you.
**[20:43] Naofumi**
Thank your lucky stars, not me.
**[20:45] Vice Captain**
No.
**[20:47] Vice Captain**
Your presence is what helped us survive.
**[20:52] Vice Captain**
We'll never forget what you've done for us.
**[20:55] Naofumi**
Whatever.
**[21:05] Raphtalia**
They looked truly grateful.
**[21:09] Naofumi**
I guess.
**[21:13] Raphtalia**
We prevented at least a few kids from
going through what I did, right?
**[21:20] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[21:22] Raphtalia**
I...
**[21:25] Naofumi**
You did well.
**[21:28] Raphtalia**
I killed lots of monsters.
**[21:32] Naofumi**
Yeah.

Splendidly done, brave heroes.
**[00:18] Aultcray**
Tonight, we celebrate!
**[00:20] Aultcray**
Enjoy yourselves to the fullest!
**[00:22] All**
Hooray!
**[00:25] Noble A**
That's the heroes for you.
**[00:27] Noble B**
Our country has nothing to worry about.
**[00:30] Naofumi**
*Screw this party.*
**[00:32] Naofumi**
* I never would have come here*
* if it wasn't for the reward.*
**[00:36] Noble C**
I hear the casualties were in
the single digits this time.
**[00:40] Noble D**
Bless our heroes.
**[00:43] Captain**
I held my ground against a massive monster
**[00:46] Captain**
and fought with pride as a royal knight...
**[00:48] Naofumi**
What?
**[00:49] Noble E**
I'm truly honored to meet you, Spear Hero.
**[00:53] Noble F**
Do you happen to have a lover?
**[00:57] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama is still
tired from the battle.
**[01:03] Motoyasu**
You there.
**[01:05] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama...
**[01:12] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[01:15] Raphtalia**
Aren't you hungry?
**[01:17] Raphtalia**
The food here seems heavenly!
**[01:20] Naofumi**
If you want to eat, go ahead.
**[01:23] Raphtalia**
You should join me.
**[01:24] Naofumi**
I'll pass.

Let's eat together.
**[01:45] Raphtalia**
Have a bite.
**[01:47] Naofumi**
No, I...
**[01:49] Naofumi**
It's really good, you know?
**[01:53] Naofumi**
See?
**[01:58] Motoyasu**
Naofumi...
**[02:05] Motoyasu**
Duel me.
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Lullaby at Dawn
**[03:45] Motoyasu**
I heard that Raphtalia-chan's your slave.
**[03:52] Naofumi**
And what if she is?
**[03:53] Motoyasu**
You...
**[03:55] Naofumi**
Raphtalia is my slave.
**[03:57] Naofumi**
So what?
**[03:58] Motoyasu**
Listen! It's not right to enslave others!
**[04:02] Naofumi**
Listen to yourself.
**[04:03] Naofumi**
Slavery is legal in this country, anyway.
**[04:07] Motoyasu**
But we're heroes from another world!
**[04:09] Motoyasu**
We can't behave that way here!
**[04:11] Naofumi**
That's just your opinion.
**[04:14] Naofumi**
I disagree.
**[04:16] Motoyasu**
Fight me!
**[04:18] Motoyasu**
If I win, free Raphtalia-chan.
**[04:22] Naofumi**
And what if I win?
**[04:24] Motoyasu**
Then... you can keep things as they are.
**[04:29] Naofumi**
Ridiculous.
**[04:31] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[04:32] Itsuki**
He has a slave in his party?
**[04:35] Ren**
I thought he couldn't stoop
any lower, but he has.
**[04:40] Aultcray**
I overheard your conversation.
**[04:43] Aultcray**
A hero, using a demi-human as his slave?
**[04:48] Aultcray**
It seems that you are rotten to the core.
**[04:54] Aultcray**
I order you to accept his challenge!
**[04:59] Raphtalia**
That won't be necessary!
**[05:01] Raphtalia**
I'm with Naofumi-sama
of my own free will.
**[05:04] Naofumi**
What are you playing at?!
**[05:05] Aultcray**
Poor girl.
**[05:07] Aultcray**
You've been placed under a curse that
compels you to defend your master.
**[05:13] Aultcray**
Don't worry.
**[05:14] Aultcray**
Once Motoyasu-dono wins, we shall
release you from that curse.
**[05:18] Naofumi**
Hey! Knock it off!
**[05:19] Knight**
Draw your swords!
**[05:24] Aultcray**
If you won't heed my order,
I shall take her from you by force.
**[05:28] Motoyasu**
I hope you're not thinking
of running from this.
**[05:31] Naofumi**
You scumbag!
**[05:34] Naofumi**
If I win, you'd better return Raphtalia!
**[05:39] Myne**
And how exactly will you win, *Shield* Hero?
**[05:50] Minister**
The duel between the
Spear Hero and the Shield Hero will now begin!
**[05:55] Minister**
This duel will end when one of the
combatants is pinned or admits defeat.
***SIGN*** Legendary Weapon Rule Violation:

**[06:18] Minister**
This duel will take place in the presence
of King Melromarc and the Pope,
**[06:22] Minister**
and it is thus legitimate and official.
**[06:28] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[06:29] Myne**
Best of luck!
**[06:36] Motoyasu**
Remember that folk tale about the
irresistible spear and the immovable shield?
**[06:43] Motoyasu**
Naofumi, be a man and admit defeat.
**[06:54] Minister**
Ready...
**[06:57] Minister**
Begin!
**[07:03] Motoyasu**
You stopped it?
**[07:04] Motoyasu**
I guess you're not the
Shield Hero for nothing.
**[07:07] Naofumi**
You lose.
**[07:10] Naofumi**
In this battle between an irresistible
spear and an immovable shield,
**[07:13] Naofumi**
you lost the moment you
couldn't pierce my shield!
**[07:26] Motoyasu**
Chaos Spear!
**[07:40] Motoyasu**
Damn!
**[07:44] Myne**
A strike using the shield? It would never...
**[07:48] Motoyasu**
Ow!
**[07:49] Motoyasu**
Wh-Why?
**[07:51] Myne**
A balloon? What's that doing here?
**[07:58] Motoyasu**
What the hell are you playing at?
**[08:01] Naofumi**
If I can't win anyway, I might as
well make you as miserable as I can.
**[08:05] Motoyasu**
Screw you!
**[08:07] Motoyasu**
Fight me fair and square!
***SIGN*** Two-Headed Black Dog Shield

Shield Prison!
**[08:29] Motoyasu**
Hey! Stop that!
**[08:31] Motoyasu**
Shit!
**[08:32] Motoyasu**
That hurts! Knock it off,
you cowardly cheat!
**[08:33] Woman**
It can't be.
**[08:34] Man**
If this keeps up, the Shield Hero might win.
**[08:36] Itsuki**
Naofumi-san's got the upper hand.
**[08:39] Ren**
Yeah.
**[08:43] Woman**
What does that lowly Shield Hero
think he's doing to the Spear Hero?
**[08:47] Man**
Have you no respect for
the sanctity of a duel?!
**[08:54] Naofumi**
Hurry up and admit defeat.
**[08:56] Naofumi**
Do you want to be embarrassed
even more, Mr. Hot Stuff?
**[09:01] Motoyasu**
Wh-Who would ever surrender now?
**[09:05] Naofumi**
I see.
**[09:07] Naofumi**
Then...
**[09:08] Naofumi**
Shall I focus the attacks on
your face and your crotch?
**[09:13] Naofumi**
I'm a cowardly cheat, after all!
**[09:15] Motoyasu**
D-Don't!
**[09:26] Naofumi**
*Magic?*
**[09:28] Naofumi**
*It was her!*
**[09:30] Naofumi**
You bitch!
**[09:44] Motoyasu**
Lightning Spear!
**[10:02] Motoyasu**
Victory is mine!
**[10:20] Naofumi**
Hold it.
**[10:23] Naofumi**
Someone interfered in our one-on-one duel.
**[10:26] Naofumi**
It doesn't count.
**[10:28] Motoyasu**
Huh?
**[10:29] Naofumi**
Your party member messed up that duel!
**[10:33] Motoyasu**
Sore loser much?
**[10:34] Naofumi**
No!
**[10:36] Naofumi**
Everyone there saw it!
**[10:38] Naofumi**
You saw Myne use her magic, didn't you?
**[10:42] Naofumi**
I know you saw it!
**[10:44] Naofumi**
She used her magic to help him win...
**[10:50] Naofumi**
No... There's no way they didn't see it.
**[10:52] Aultcray**
There's no need to listen
to the words of scum.
**[10:56] Aultcray**
Spear Hero,
**[10:57] Aultcray**
you are the victor!
**[11:00] Myne**
I knew you could do it,
**[11:03] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama.
**[11:05] Motoyasu**
Aww...
**[11:13] Myne**
Shield Hero, I know you must feel terrible.
**[11:17] Myne**
It's really too bad that you'll
have to go back to fighting alone.
**[11:28] Aultcray**
You were brilliant, Motoyasu-dono.
**[11:32] Aultcray**
My daughter, Malty, was right to pick you.
***SIGN*** Of course, Father.
**[11:39] Motoyasu**
I was so shocked when I
heard Myne was a princess.
***SIGN*** I am.
***SIGN*** But I fight to contribute to the world's peace.
**[11:48] Naofumi**
*So these guys planned everything...*
**[11:53] Naofumi**
* The daughter framed me to get in the*
* good graces of her favorite hero.*
**[11:59] Naofumi**
* And the father distorted the facts*
* for the sake of his daughter.*
**[12:04] Naofumi**
*This duel was a setup all along, too!*
**[12:07] (Flashback) Malty**
The Shield Hero has forced
that girl to be his slave.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Malty**
Please save her.
**[12:16] Naofumi**
*Do they want to see me suffer that badly?*
**[12:24] Naofumi**
* I didn't come to this world*
* because I wanted to.*
**[12:27] Naofumi**
*You're the ones who summoned me!*
**[12:29] Naofumi**
*So...*
**[12:31] Naofumi**
*Why must I alone go through this?*
**[12:34] Minister**
The girl enslaved by the Shield Hero
has been freed by the Spear Hero!
**[12:41] Woman**
We should never have summoned
the Shield Hero, anyway.
**[12:45] Man**
The other three are more than enough!
**[12:48] Woman**
We should just get rid of
that criminal scum at once.
**[12:51] Man**
Our country doesn't need the Shield!
**[12:53] Man**
Execute the Shield Hero right away!
**[12:56] Naofumi**
It's all about the Shield again?
**[12:58] Naofumi**
Is it because I'm the Shield Hero?
**[13:02] Naofumi**
Damn it...
**[13:04] Naofumi**
Damn it all!
**[13:09] Naofumi**
God damn it...
***SIGN*** Well, let's free the girl from her curse.
**[13:24] Naofumi**
Raphtalia?
**[13:27] Aultcray**
Begin.
**[13:35] Naofumi**
Hey!
***SIGN*** Slave pact with Raphtalia terminated
***SIGN*** You're free now.
***SIGN*** Be grateful for the charity Motoyasu-sama showed you.
**[13:53] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[14:11] Naofumi**
That's it... I've had enough!
**[14:22] Naofumi**
This is hell.
**[14:26] Naofumi**
A world like this...
**[14:31] Naofumi**
...can die for all I care!
***SIGN*** Curse Series Requirement Met
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
You cheat!
***SIGN*** Wh-What are you doing to Motoyasu-sama?
**[14:45] Raphtalia**
When did I ask you to free me?!
**[14:49] Motoyasu**
B-But he was abusing you, right?
**[14:53] Raphtalia**
What the hell do you know
about Naofumi-sama?!
**[14:57] Raphtalia**
He never made me do anything I couldn't do!
**[15:02] Raphtalia**
He only activated the curse when
I was too scared to fight!
**[15:07] Motoyasu**
And that's the problem!
**[15:09] Motoyasu**
Nobody should be forced to fight!
**[15:11] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama can't use any weapons!
**[15:13] Raphtalia**
Someone else has to fight for him!
**[15:16] Motoyasu**
It doesn't have to be you.
**[15:18] Motoyasu**
He'll just abuse you until you break.
**[15:21] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama defends me!
**[15:24] Raphtalia**
He lets me rest when I'm tired!
**[15:26] Motoyasu**
No, he's not that kind of guy.
**[15:29] Raphtalia**
Are you capable of extending a hand to
a diseased slave on the verge of death?
**[15:36] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama fed me everything
I wanted to eat!
**[15:41] Raphtalia**
He gave me valuable medicine
to treat my illness!
**[15:45] Raphtalia**
Are *you* capable of that?!
**[15:48] Motoyasu**
O-Of course I could...
**[15:50] Raphtalia**
If that were true, you would
have a slave by your side, too!
**[15:56] Motoyasu**
That's...
***SIGN*** Knock it off!
***SIGN*** How dare you, damned demi-human?
**[16:01] Noble**
Look over there!
**[16:02] Noble**
What's going on?
**[16:04] Noble**
A quarrel?
**[16:06] Itsuki**
Myne-san, I'd like to ask you about
your illegal interference in the duel.
***SIGN*** What ever do you mean?
**[16:13] Motoyasu**
Illegal interference?
**[16:14] Ren**
You lost that duel, Motoyasu.
**[16:18] Ren**
*Someone* shot a magic spell at Naofumi.
**[16:22] Ren**
It was hard to tell, though,
because it was wind magic.
**[16:25] Motoyasu**
Myne?
**[16:26] Myne**
You must've imagined it.
**[16:29] Myne**
The audience didn't see a thing.
**[16:30] Itsuki**
The king has told them to keep quiet.
**[16:33] Itsuki**
One look at the nobles'
eyes makes it obvious.
**[16:35] Ren**
I can't believe royalty
would debase a sacred duel.
**[16:51] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[16:53] Naofumi**
Why'd you come back?
**[16:56] Naofumi**
To laugh at me?
**[16:59] Raphtalia**
I...
**[16:59] Naofumi**
I don't need a traitor.
**[17:01] Naofumi**
Get lost.
**[17:04] Raphtalia**
I heard rumors.
**[17:06] Raphtalia**
They called you the horrible hero who
forced himself on a party member.
**[17:13] Raphtalia**
But I think you wouldn't do...
**[17:16] Naofumi**
I didn't do it!
**[17:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[17:20] Naofumi**
Stay away!
**[17:22] Raphtalia**
Please listen to me.
**[17:27] Naofumi**
Don't touch me!
**[17:30] Naofumi**
Thanks to the oh-so-charitable Motoyasu,
you're free now.
**[17:33] Naofumi**
You can stay clear of me!
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Or what, did he tell you to go get
a good look at the loser's face?
**[17:42] Naofumi**
Please just leave me alone.
**[17:53] Raphtalia**
I believe you, Naofumi-sama.
**[17:56] Raphtalia**
What can I do to make you believe me?
**[18:00] Naofumi**
"Believe you"?
**[18:02] Naofumi**
After you betrayed me?
**[18:05] Raphtalia**
I will always be on your side,
come what may!
**[18:08] Naofumi**
Lies!
**[18:10] Naofumi**
You're just saying that to trick me again!
**[18:12] Raphtalia**
I...
**[18:13] Naofumi**
Shut up!
**[18:14] Naofumi**
What else are you people
going to frame me for?
**[18:18] Naofumi**
I drew the short straw
the moment I came here.
**[18:21] Naofumi**
Try as I might, nobody will accept me.
**[18:24] Naofumi**
Nobody believes me.
**[18:27] Naofumi**
Because of this damn thing, I...
**[18:32] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[18:34] Raphtalia**
This shield has saved my
life many times over.
**[18:41] Raphtalia**
And during the Wave...
**[18:43] Raphtalia**
Even though you couldn't fight,
**[18:45] Raphtalia**
you defended the villagers using it.
**[18:49] Naofumi**
I didn't really do it for the villagers.
**[18:53] Raphtalia**
Still, you saved many, many lives.
**[18:57] Naofumi**
I'm not that nice a guy.
**[18:59] Naofumi**
I saw you as nothing but
a tool at first, too.
**[19:03] Raphtalia**
But you saved me.
**[19:06] Naofumi**
No!
**[19:07] Naofumi**
I was only thinking of myself...
**[19:21] Raphtalia**
I know you better than
anyone else in this world.
**[19:26] Raphtalia**
I know how kind you are.
**[19:30] Raphtalia**
So even if the whole world speaks ill of you,
**[19:34] Raphtalia**
I'll tell them they're wrong.
**[19:36] Raphtalia**
I'll tell them again and again
that you're a wonderful person.
**[19:40] Raphtalia**
You're the one who saved
my life, gave me a sword,
**[19:43] Raphtalia**
and showed me my purpose in life.
**[19:51] Raphtalia**
I am your sword.
**[19:53] Raphtalia**
I will follow you through fire and brimstone.
**[19:58] Naofumi**
* Those were the words I always*
* wished someone would say to me.*
**[20:04] Naofumi**
*No, I just didn't hear her before...*
**[20:08] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I am your sword!
**[20:11] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Wherever you go, I will go with you.
**[20:19] Raphtalia**
Even if you can't trust
anyone anymore, I trust you.
**[20:24] Raphtalia**
I trust you, the man who saved me.
**[20:26] Raphtalia**
No, I trust...
**[20:33] Raphtalia**
...the great Shield Hero.
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Wh-Who are you?
**[20:43] Raphtalia**
What are you saying?
**[20:45] Raphtalia**
It's me, Raphtalia.
**[20:47] Naofumi**
But... Raphtalia's still a kid.
**[20:51] Raphtalia**
Sheesh...
**[20:52] Raphtalia**
When will you stop treating me like a child?
**[20:55] Raphtalia**
I mean, sure, I'm still an unreliable
kid who cries at the drop of a hat.
**[21:01] Raphtalia**
I may even be a burden.
**[21:03] Raphtalia**
But please let me stand by your side.
**[21:08] Raphtalia**
I need you, Naofumi-sama.
**[21:31] Motoyasu**
I didn't do anything wrong!
**[21:34] Motoyasu**
What's wrong is a hero having a slave!
**[21:37] Motoyasu**
Raphtalia-chan might still be doing
all this because she's brainwashed.
**[21:41] Ren**
I don't know about that.
**[21:43] Itsuki**
It's amazing that you can say that
after seeing them like this.
**[21:53] Raphtalia**
It must've been so painful.
**[21:55] Raphtalia**
But from now, let me share in your pain.
**[22:16] Raphtalia**
Good morning, Naofumi-sama.
**[22:24] Naofumi**
Did you make this?
**[22:27] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[22:28] Raphtalia**
It's only leftovers from the castle
kitchen and some bread, though.
**[22:35] Naofumi**
You *are* Raphtalia, right?
**[22:38] Naofumi**
I'm not used to it yet.
**[22:42] Raphtalia**
When demi-humans level up as children,
**[22:45] Raphtalia**
their bodies follow suit
and grow rapidly, too.
**[22:49] Raphtalia**
That's why demi-humans are seen as inhuman
beasts and discriminated against.
**[22:55] Naofumi**
I see.
**[22:58] Raphtalia**
For leftovers, it's quite good!
**[23:09] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[23:11] Naofumi**
I can taste it. It's good!
**[23:16] Raphtalia**
Let's eat lots of delicious
food from now on.
**[23:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[23:26] Naofumi**
Yeah?
**[23:27] Raphtalia**
Let's do our best.

**[00:06] Queen**
Is that what the king has been up to?
**[00:09] Woman**
Malty-sama must've talked him into it.
**[00:14] Queen**
How is the Shield Hero holding up?
**[00:16] Woman**
He procured a demi-human
girl from a slave trader.
**[00:21] Queen**
Is that so?
**[00:23] Queen**
That's a relief.
**[00:26] Queen**
However...
**[00:27] Queen**
News of Melromarc's summoning
of the Four Cardinal Heroes
**[00:30] Queen**
is making waves here as well.
**[00:34] Queen**
We must prevent our neighbors
from meddling, no matter what.
**[00:39] Woman**
We'll continue to keep an eye
on things in the capital.
**[00:44] Queen**
I'm counting on you.
**[00:59] Aultcray**
As a reward for your efforts during the
Wave and for fulfilling my request,
**[01:05] Aultcray**
Motoyasu-dono will receive 4,000 silvers,
**[01:08] Aultcray**
and Itsuki-dono and Ren-dono
will receive 3,800.
**[01:13] Aultcray**
And as agreed upon, I have set
aside 500 silvers for the Shield.
**[01:18] Aultcray**
However...
**[01:20] Aultcray**
Since it's offset by the cost of
freeing his slave from her curse,
**[01:24] Aultcray**
he will receive no funds this time.
**[01:28] Itsuki**
I don't think that's going to fly.
**[01:31] Itsuki**
You interfered in his duel, dispelled the...
**[01:34] Itsuki**
slave crest, was it?
**[01:37] Itsuki**
And now you refuse to pay
him what he deserves?
**[01:41] Ren**
Right?
**[01:43] Ren**
If you'd followed the rules,
Naofumi clearly would've won that duel.
**[01:45] Motoyasu**
Wha... I didn't lose!
***SIGN*** You're mistaken, Itsuki-sama, Ren-sama.
***SIGN*** It was a one-on-one duel,
***SIGN*** and the Shield Hero was the one with monsters hidden in his cape.
***SIGN*** That is why Father didn't declare him the victor.
**[02:01] Itsuki**
Even then, you cheated by
firing a magic spell at him.
**[02:08] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Get off me!
**[02:10] (Flashback) Naofumi**
I'm a cowardly cheat, after all!
**[02:21] Ren**
Besides, when the Wave hit,
**[02:23] Ren**
it was Naofumi who defended that
village in the knights' stead.
**[02:30] Ren**
I believe he must be
compensated in some way.
**[02:35] Aultcray**
Very well. I shall afford him
the minimum agreed amount.
**[02:41] Aultcray**
You have it, so begone already!
**[02:45] Raphtalia**
Isn't it great, Naofumi-sama?
**[02:49] Raphtalia**
We don't have to waste our
time in this place anymore.
**[02:58] Naofumi**
We're leaving, Raphtalia.
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Filo
**[04:50] SlaveT**
There we go.
**[04:50] SlaveT**
She now has a new slave crest.
**[04:54] Naofumi**
There was no need to get
another one, you know.
**[04:57] Raphtalia**
But I wanted it, as a symbol
of your faith in me.
**[05:01] Naofumi**
If you say so.
**[05:06] Raphtalia**
A-Anyway, Naofumi-sama...
**[05:08] Raphtalia**
Um, what do you think?
**[05:15] Naofumi**
Slave User's Shield, huh?
**[05:18] Naofumi**
What is it?
***SIGN*** Slave User's Shield
**[05:19] Raphtalia**
Nothing!
**[05:21] SlaveT**
Still...
**[05:23] SlaveT**
I'm amazed you helped that scrawny bag of
bones grow so much in such a short time.
**[05:28] SlaveT**
Even if she's not a virgin, she's guaranteed
to fetch you twenty gold pieces.
**[05:31] Raphtalia**
I *am* a virgin!
**[05:32] SlaveT**
Thirty-five, then!
**[05:34] Naofumi**
Thirty-five gold pieces, huh?
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[05:41] Naofumi**
What's that?
**[05:42] SlaveT**
A monster egg lottery.
**[05:44] SlaveT**
Pay 100 silvers, and you're
guaranteed at least a filolial!
**[05:47] SlaveT**
You'll win a monster chick that'll
double in value if you raise it well.
**[05:51] Naofumi**
A filolial?
**[05:52] Raphtalia**
You must've seen them around.
**[05:56] Raphtalia**
They're the large birds that pull
carriages around town.
**[06:01] Naofumi**
Oh, those?
**[06:04] SlaveT**
What's more, if you hit the jackpot,
**[06:06] SlaveT**
you'll win a dragon worth twenty gold pieces!
**[06:12] Naofumi**
What, it's like a gacha game?
**[06:14] Raphtalia**
What's a gacha game?
**[06:15] Naofumi**
Nothing. Forget it.
**[06:17] SlaveT**
Would you like to give it a shot?
**[06:19] SlaveT**
Act now, and I'll give you a package
deal for that and the slave crest!
**[06:26] Raphtalia**
You shouldn't waste money
like that, Naofumi-sama.
**[06:30] Naofumi**
Well, I figured it wouldn't be fair
to make you fight alone all the time.
**[06:34] Naofumi**
A monster should at least be some help.
**[06:37] Raphtalia**
I can fight by myself just fine!
**[06:40] Naofumi**
If so, we can just sell it
back to the slave trader.
**[06:43] Raphtalia**
Either way, don't loosen your
purse strings any more.
**[06:48] Naofumi**
Fine, I hear you.
**[06:50] Herbalist**
Relatives of mine in Lute Village
asked me to help you out.
**[06:56] Raphtalia**
Think it was someone you saved back then?
**[06:58] Naofumi**
Who knows?
**[07:00] Herbalist**
This book has recipes for finer
medicines than you bring to me.
**[07:04] Herbalist**
Use it. It's yours.
**[07:06] Naofumi**
* Uh, I can't read this*
* world's language, though.*
**[07:09] Herbalist**
Oh, right.
**[07:11] Herbalist**
The old hag at the magic
shop wants to see you, too.
**[07:14] Herbalist**
It's for a similar reason.
**[07:15] Herbalist**
She said you helped her
grandkid out in Lute Village.
**[07:19] Old Mage**
You have an affinity for healing
and support magic, Shield Hero.
**[07:25] Old Mage**
And the young lady has
light and dark magic affinity.
**[07:29] Old Mage**
She is half-raccoon, after all.
**[07:31] Old Mage**
I recommend she learn illusion
magic and the like.
**[07:34] Old Mage**
In which case...
**[07:39] Naofumi**
We don't have the money
to buy a magic grimoire.
**[07:42] Old Mage**
It's free, as thanks for
helping my grandkid.
**[07:46] Old Mage**
I actually would've loved to give
you a crystal ball instead.
**[07:49] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[07:50] Old Mage**
Don't you know?
**[07:51] Old Mage**
If you use a crystal ball, you can
learn one of the magics sealed in it.
**[07:56] Naofumi**
First I've heard of that.
**[07:58] Old Mage**
But I heard the royal court ordered a
bunch of them for the heroes.
**[08:03] Naofumi**
I bet they handed them
out to every hero but me.
**[08:07] Old Mage**
Learning magic from a grimoire is hard,
**[08:09] Old Mage**
but if you keep at it, you can
learn as many spells as you want!
**[08:14] Old Mage**
Do your best!
**[08:15] Naofumi**
Thank you.
**[08:19] Naofumi**
*"Thank you," huh?*
**[08:24] Naofumi**
I really can't read it.
**[08:27] Naofumi**
I wish there was a skill that'd
translate books for me.
**[08:31] Raphtalia**
Let's learn together, then.
**[08:33] Naofumi**
What? The language and magic?
**[08:36] Raphtalia**
Well, yes.
**[08:40] Raphtalia**
But the key word there is "together."
**[08:44] Naofumi**
There's more than a month
until the next Wave,
**[08:47] Naofumi**
so I guess there's no better plan.
**[08:53] Naofumi**
Let's spend the night in Lute Village.
**[08:55] Naofumi**
And tomorrow, we can go grind
some levels after breakfast.
**[08:58] Raphtalia**
Sure!
**[09:02] Naofumi**
Hey, wake up!
**[09:04] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[09:25] Raphtalia**
It's so cute, Naofumi-sama!
**[09:29] Raphtalia**
It must think you're its mother.
**[09:32] Naofumi**
Imprinting, huh?
**[09:35] Raphtalia**
We should think of a good name for it.
**[09:37] Naofumi**
Yeah...
**[10:25] Raphtalia**
I can't believe she grew
so much in just two days!
**[10:29] Naofumi**
My Growth Boost skill probably helped.
***SIGN*** Mon
***SIGN*** Monster
***SIGN*** Monster Tam
***SIGN*** Monster Tamer's
***SIGN*** Monster Tamer's Shield
**[10:31] Naofumi**
Right, Filo?
***SIGN*** Monster Tamer's Shield III
**[10:34] Raphtalia**
You named her Filo? As in "filolial"?
**[10:38] Raphtalia**
Don't you think that's a bit lazy?
**[10:41] Naofumi**
She seems to like it, though.
**[10:45] Man A**
Hey, look.
**[10:46] Man B**
Why are the knights here?
***SIGN*** In light of his exploits during the last Wave, the Spear Hero, Motoyasu-sama,
***SIGN*** has been appointed ruling lord of this region.
***SIGN*** To help the rebuilding efforts, we've decided to levy a toll.
***SIGN*** Fifty silvers to enter the village, and fifty to exit.
**[11:08] Man A**
That's absurd!
**[11:10] Man B**
We won't even have anything to eat tomorrow!
***SIGN*** You wish to defy your lord's orders?
**[11:15] Naofumi**
Well, duh!
***SIGN*** The Shield Hero?
***SIGN*** You were still here?
***SIGN*** This is Motoyasu-sama's domain now.
***SIGN*** You have no right to question him.
***SIGN*** In fact, get out this instant, criminal scum!
**[11:29] Naofumi**
I don't mind leaving, but I don't think
the villagers are gonna accept this.
**[11:35] Naofumi**
Motoyasu, do you know how much it costs
to spend a night at the inn here?
**[11:40] Motoyasu**
U-Uh...
**[11:41] Naofumi**
It's one silver a night, food included.
**[11:44] Naofumi**
You're charging a hundred nights' worth of
money just to enter and exit the village!
**[11:49] Man A**
Yeah, yeah!
**[11:51] Man B**
He's right!
**[11:51] Man C**
Besides, you can't just show
up and call yourself our lord.
**[11:54] Man D**
And it was the Shield Hero who defended
this village during the Wave!
***SIGN*** You dare complain about a royal decree?
**[12:03] Naofumi**
You people had better knock it off!
**[12:10] Woman**
I trust you know who we are, Malty-sama.
***SIGN*** Why are you people here?
**[12:16] Woman**
For you.
**[12:18] Raphtalia**
Who are they, Naofumi-sama?
**[12:21] Naofumi**
No idea, but I can tell they're important.
***SIGN*** How could this be?
***SIGN*** Shield Hero!
***SIGN*** Fight us for the right to rule this village!
**[12:34] Naofumi**
I refuse!
**[12:36] Lord**
But if we lose this, the village will
fall into the Spear Hero's hands!
**[12:41] Lord**
As the current lord, even I cannot
accept further taxation at this time!
**[12:47] Naofumi**
But why does that mean I have to take part
in a dragon race? It sounds like a pain.
**[12:52] Lord**
They've asked for you.
**[12:55] Lord**
And besides, we don't have the
right to challenge a Hero.
**[12:58] Naofumi**
That letter probably said
something Myne didn't like.
**[13:03] Raphtalia**
So she challenged you to take it out on you?
**[13:10] Lord**
Your filolial seems to be up for it.
**[13:15] Naofumi**
What's wrong with her?
**[13:17] Raphtalia**
So it's true that filolials
and dragons don't get along.
**[13:21] Lord**
Please, we beg you!
**[13:23] Lord**
We promise you a reward for winning!
**[13:29] Naofumi**
I'm not responsible for what
happens if I lose, okay?
**[13:36] Motoyasu**
So lame.
**[13:37] Motoyasu**
And it's a bird, not a dragon.
**[13:42] Motoyasu**
How are you gonna race my dragon with this?
***SIGN*** Motoyasu-sama!
***SIGN*** Motoyasu-sama!
***SIGN*** Healing magic! Hurry!
**[13:59] Motoyasu**
Th-This is definitely going to bruise...
**[13:59] Man**
Right away!
***SIGN*** You cheater!
**[14:03] Naofumi**
It's his fault for getting too close.
**[14:07] Raphtalia**
* I've never seen Naofumi-sama*
* smile so much before.*
**[14:13] Lord**
The course will be three laps around
the outskirts of this village.
**[14:16] Lord**
Whoever reaches this gate first
will be declared the winner.
***SIGN*** Motoyasu-sama!
**[14:23] Raphtalia**
Good luck, Naofumi-sama!
**[14:26] Lord**
On your marks...
**[14:30] Lord**
Start!
**[14:39] Naofumi**
Piece of cake.
**[14:52] Knight**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[14:55] Knight**
Decipher the laws of nature and
create a pit in front of me.
**[15:00] Knight**
Earth Hole!
**[15:04] Man**
No! The Shield Hero!
**[15:08] Raphtalia**
Filo!
***SIGN*** Motoyasu-sama!
***SIGN*** Keep it up!
**[15:26] Knight**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[15:28] Knight**
Decipher the laws of nature
and slow my target.
**[15:31] Knight**
Speed Down!
**[15:36] Motoyasu**
Here's my chance!
**[15:38] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[15:58] Motoyasu**
What are you doing? Run faster!
**[16:05] Raphtalia**
Filo! One last lap!
***SIGN*** Accursed beast!
**[16:13] Knight**
Decipher the laws of nature
and hasten my target.
**[16:17] Knight**
Fast Speed!
**[16:27] Naofumi**
*He's blocking my path!*
**[16:29] Naofumi**
*We're heading straight for the hole!*
**[16:31] Naofumi**
Let's do this, Filo!
**[16:34] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[16:57] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[16:58] Man**
Hang in there, Shield Hero!
***SIGN*** Faster!
**[17:02] Man**
Don't let him beat you! Keep running!
**[17:18] Naofumi**
We won, right?
**[17:23] Lord**
Brilliantly done!
**[17:25] Lord**
Now we can rest easy and focus
on rebuilding the village!
**[17:30] Lord**
If you wanna thank someone, thank Filo.
***SIGN*** You cheated!
***SIGN*** You didn't tell us your filolial was really this massive tub of lard!
**[17:46] Lord**
But it only transformed
after the race was over.
**[17:49] Naofumi**
You're the ones who cheated!
**[17:52] Naofumi**
Making holes and all that!
***SIGN*** Holes?
***SIGN*** Do you have any proof?
**[17:57] Woman**
The Shield Hero is right.
**[18:01] Woman**
We detected traces of magic on the course.
***SIGN*** I-It was that criminal, obviously!
**[18:08] Woman**
No. The Shield Hero's magic affinities
are healing and support.
**[18:12] Woman**
His raccoon friend's are light and dark.
**[18:15] Woman**
Completely different types
than the magic we found.
**[18:18] Naofumi**
*When did they learn so much about us?*
**[18:20] Woman**
It's clear that the
Spear Hero's party cheated.
***SIGN*** F-Fine! We shall leave for today!
**[18:29] Motoyasu**
I let you win today,
**[18:31] Motoyasu**
but it won't happen next time!
**[18:34] Motoyasu**
In the first place, this fatso...
**[18:35] Naofumi**
Is your crotch okay?
**[18:38] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:41] Motoyasu**
A-Anyway, just you wait!
I'll get you yet!
**[18:46] Raphtalia**
Get well soon.
**[18:51] Lord**
Sir Hero, again, thank you so much.
**[18:56] Lord**
We don't know how to express our
gratitude for everything you've done.
**[19:02] Naofumi**
Forget that. Hand over the reward.
**[19:06] Lord**
We're going around the village
collecting money now.
**[19:09] Lord**
Please give us a few days...
**[19:11] Naofumi**
I don't want money.
**[19:13] Lord**
Sir Hero!
**[19:15] Naofumi**
I don't want rumors spreading about
how I took all your rebuilding funds.
**[19:20] Raphtalia**
Nobody in this village would ever say that!
**[19:24] Naofumi**
Really, now?
**[19:26] Lord**
But then, what else can we give you?
**[19:48] Raphtalia**
S-Sorry, Naofumi-sama,
**[19:51] Raphtalia**
but could we stop for a bit?
**[20:08] Raphtalia**
Sorry to make you do this after
you let me rest on the way.
**[20:12] Naofumi**
We'll mostly be traveling by carriage now.
**[20:15] Naofumi**
You should try to get over
your motion sickness.
**[20:18] Raphtalia**
I'll try.
**[20:19] Naofumi**
Your face is a little red.
**[20:21] Naofumi**
Do you have a fever?
**[20:23] Raphtalia**
No.
**[20:25] Raphtalia**
Filo looks happy now that she
gets to draw a carriage.
**[20:28] Naofumi**
She sure does.
**[20:33] (Flashback) Lord**
Are you interested in becoming
a traveling trader, Sir Hero?
**[20:36] (Flashback) Naofumi**
A traveling trader?
**[20:37] (Flashback) Lord**
If so, this pass will come in handy.
**[20:40] (Flashback) Lord**
It exempts you from tolls across the country,
so you can traverse the roads as you wish.
**[20:47] Naofumi**
We can run a traveling business while
fighting monsters and leveling up.
**[20:51] Naofumi**
Sounds good.
**[20:52] Raphtalia**
I'll do my best, too.
**[20:54] Naofumi**
Just sleep for tonight.
**[20:56] Naofumi**
I'll keep watch.
**[20:59] Raphtalia**
Okay.
**[21:05] Raphtalia**
Filo?
**[21:11] Naofumi**
Your feathers are stuffy as hell, you know.
**[21:16] Filo**
Meanie!
**[21:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama... Naofumi-sama!
**[21:27] Naofumi**
Sorry, I must've fallen asleep.
**[21:43] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[21:45] Raphtalia**
Th-That girl...
**[21:52] Filo**
Good morning, Master.
**[21:56] Naofumi**
Ma—?!
**[21:57] Raphtalia**
Who the heck is she?!
**[21:59] Naofumi**
How would I know?!
**[22:02] Filo**
I'm hungry!

**[00:07] Erhard**
Welcome.
**[00:09] Erhard**
Man, don't come to show off
every time you buy a new slave.
**[00:12] Naofumi**
That's not it.
**[00:14] Erhard**
Another young girl?
**[00:15] Erhard**
You really are a lolicon, huh?
**[00:18] Naofumi**
Wrong!
**[00:19] Filo**
Master, I'm hungry.
**[00:23] Erhard**
Want a bite?
**[00:25] Filo**
Yeah, thanks!
**[00:26] Raphtalia**
Hey, Filo.
**[00:28] Erhard**
It's fine, missy.
**[00:30] Erhard**
How big a bite could she take, anyway?
**[00:37] Filo**
Time to dig in!
**[00:43] Filo**
That was so-so, I guess.
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** A New Comrade
**[02:22] Erhard**
So, what's her deal?
**[02:25] Raphtalia**
According to the slave merchant,
**[02:27] Raphtalia**
filolials have a king or
queen leading each flock.
**[02:32] Erhard**
Isn't that just a myth?
**[02:35] Raphtalia**
Those kings and queens are highly
skilled at transforming,
**[02:38] Raphtalia**
and they blend into the flocks by
disguising themselves as normal filolials.
**[02:43] Erhard**
And they can transform into humans, too?
**[02:46] Erhard**
That's nuts.
**[02:48] Naofumi**
What's more, it turns out they need
a special crest to be tamed.
**[02:53] Naofumi**
I hadn't budgeted for that.
**[02:59] Raphtalia**
Things got crazy while
giving her that crest.
**[03:02] Raphtalia**
Filo started resisting with all her might.
**[03:07] Naofumi**
And that was at Level 19.
**[03:10] Naofumi**
Who knows how strong she'll
be at Level 70 or something?
**[03:14] Erhard**
And? You didn't come here just to
show off this filolial queen, right?
**[03:19] Naofumi**
Sell us some clothes.
**[03:20] Erhard**
Clothes?
**[03:21] Naofumi**
If she rips them apart each
time she transforms,
**[03:23] Naofumi**
I'll go broke in the blink of an eye.
**[03:25] Raphtalia**
There are outfits made for
transforming species, aren't there?
**[03:29] Erhard**
Those are special. I ain't got any.
**[03:33] Erhard**
Go see a dressmaker.
**[03:34] Erhard**
But I guess you can't have her walking
around in public looking like that.
**[03:38] Erhard**
Take this. Another customer left it here.
**[03:42] Dressmaker**
Wow, cute!
**[03:44] Dressmaker**
She's cute, like an angel!
**[03:47] Dressmaker**
Wait, she has wings on her back,
so maybe she really is one?
**[03:53] Filo**
Am I cute, Master?
**[03:55] Naofumi**
Don't ask me.
**[03:56] Dressmaker**
You mustn't be like that, Father.
**[03:58] Raphtalia**
Fath—?!
**[03:59] Dressmaker**
Compliments help girls grow ever cuter.
**[04:06] Filo**
Master, are you my father?
**[04:09] Naofumi**
No, I'm your owner.
**[04:11] Filo**
What about Raphtalia-oneechan, then?
**[04:13] Naofumi**
She's like my daughter.
**[04:15] Raphtalia**
I am not!
**[04:16] Naofumi**
Anyway, that doesn't matter.
**[04:18] Raphtalia**
It doesn't?
**[04:20] Naofumi**
We want clothes that don't rip when you
transform and can go back to normal later.
**[04:25] Dressmaker**
Oh, that's what you're looking for?
**[04:28] Dressmaker**
Did you bring magic thread?
**[04:30] Naofumi**
Magic thread?
**[04:32] Dressmaker**
Transforming clothes are always woven using
thread made out of the wearer's own mana.
**[04:38] Raphtalia**
So, they're custom made?
**[04:41] Dressmaker**
Indeed!
**[04:41] Dressmaker**
If you give me the magic threads,
**[04:44] Dressmaker**
I'll make you the cutest dress ever!
**[04:53] Old Mage**
Magic thread, huh?
**[04:55] Old Mage**
You certainly could spin it here,
**[04:59] Old Mage**
but not right now. My magic
gemstone broke recently.
**[05:03] Naofumi**
Is that gemstone expensive?
**[05:05] Old Mage**
It is, but the bigger issue is
that it's always in short supply.
**[05:08] Raphtalia**
Well, that's a problem.
**[05:09] Old Mage**
I'll talk to people and try to
procure one as soon as possible.
**[05:14] Old Mage**
Could you give me some time?
**[05:16] Filo**
Hey.
**[05:17] Filo**
What is this?
**[05:19] Old Mage**
A crystal ball. It measures
one's magical affinity.
**[05:23] Old Mage**
Let me check yours, too.
**[05:25] Naofumi**
*No outfit for a while, huh?*
**[05:28] Filo**
Filo has wind affinity!
**[05:32] Filo**
I blow away all the enemies!
**[05:36] Filo**
My job is draw the carriage.
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
Well, she's in a good mood.
**[05:40] Filo**
To where my Master says!
**[05:43] Filo**
If I find the spear guy,
**[05:47] Filo**
I'll send him flying with a full-power kick!
**[05:51] Naofumi**
It'll be a while before we get her clothes.
**[05:54] Naofumi**
In the meantime, let's travel
around and make some money.
**[05:57] Raphtalia**
That trade pass we got from the
village lord will come in handy.
**[06:03] Filo**
Master, there's someone up ahead.
**[06:07] Raphtalia**
Is something the matter?
**[06:09] Man**
P-Please, give me a ride on your carriage.
**[06:13] Raphtalia**
Huh?
**[06:14] Man**
I need to get this medicine to the
village past the mountain at once!
**[06:19] Naofumi**
Filo, how long will it take
to get there at full speed?
**[06:22] Filo**
Not long.
**[06:23] Filo**
But we can get there even
sooner without the carriage.
**[06:27] Naofumi**
I'll take you there for one silver.
**[06:31] Man**
But I already spent all my
money on the medicine...
**[06:34] Naofumi**
You can pay me in goods,
or even pay me later.
**[06:37] Naofumi**
Don't you dare try to
weasel out of it, though.
**[06:39] Man**
Th-That would be fine.
**[06:41] Naofumi**
Give me the reins, Raphtalia.
**[06:43] Raphtalia**
Here.
**[06:45] Man**
Thank you.
**[06:46] Naofumi**
I don't need your gratitude.
Just make sure to pay me.
**[06:49] Naofumi**
Go, Filo!
**[06:50] Filo**
Right-o!
**[07:00] Man**
Halt! Pay the toll!
**[07:05] Naofumi**
I'll come back for it later!
**[07:13] Man**
Mother, I got you the medicine.
**[07:19] Naofumi**
You go boil some water.
**[07:21] Naofumi**
I'll give her the medicine.
**[07:22] Man**
But...
**[07:23] Naofumi**
Relax. I won't charge you.
***SIGN*** Potion Enhance
**[07:43] Woman**
Why, thank you.
**[07:45] Man**
Mother!
**[07:46] Man**
The medicine's helping already?
**[07:49] Woman**
Yes. The pain went away in an instant.
**[07:52] Woman**
Thank you.
**[07:56] Man**
Um... What kind of magic spell did you use?
**[08:00] Naofumi**
Quit asking questions you don't need to ask.
**[08:03] Naofumi**
That aside...
**[08:04] Woman**
Oh, here. This should be
worth one silver in total.
**[08:10] Naofumi**
That works.
**[08:12] Naofumi**
Later.
**[08:13] Man**
Thank you so very much!
**[08:16] Naofumi**
* On top of selling goods, I can even*
* provide transport for people.*
**[08:19] Naofumi**
* Traveling trade may actually be*
* more profitable than I thought.*
**[08:54] Man**
I can't believe I get to ride with
Our Savior of the Heavenly Fowl.
**[08:57] Naofumi**
"Our Savior of the Heavenly Fowl"?
**[08:59] Man**
You've become quite famous
around these parts.
**[09:02] Man**
"Traveling in a carriage drawn by
the god of domesticated birds,
**[09:04] Man**
Our Savior crosses the land to treat
the sick with his special medicine!"
**[09:08] Filo**
Am I a god?
**[09:10] Raphtalia**
Hey! Didn't Naofumi-sama tell you
not to talk with strangers around?
**[09:16] Filo**
Sorry.
**[09:17] Man**
She can talk, too? That's the
god of domesticated birds for you!
**[09:21] Naofumi**
She's not a god or anything.
**[09:23] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, there are
people blocking the path.
**[09:28] Man**
Whoa, stop right there!
**[09:32] Man**
Strange bird you've got there.
**[09:34] Man**
We heard an accessory seller
was hitching a ride with you.
**[09:38] Man**
We know you're in there!
**[09:41] Naofumi**
*He was a client with baggage, huh?*
**[09:43] Man**
Quietly hand him over, and we'll
spare your lives, at least.
**[09:48] Naofumi**
You mean you'll take
everything but our lives?
**[09:52] Man**
You're a sharp one, lad.
**[09:54] Man**
That girl's pretty hot for a demi-human.
**[09:58] Man**
Looks like we can have
ourselves some fun tonight.
**[10:01] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, may I cut him down?
**[10:04] Naofumi**
Not like you'd listen to me if I said no.
**[10:07] Filo**
Me too!
**[10:08] Man**
Don't bother.
**[10:10] Man**
We've got a class-upgraded bodyguard.
**[10:13] Man**
We're counting on you, Sensei!
**[10:17] Naofumi**
*Class-upgraded?*
**[10:19] Naofumi**
*Yet another unfamiliar term.*
**[10:21] Naofumi**
* If nothing else, I can tell*
* he won't be easy pickings.*
**[10:25] Naofumi**
If only I could use support
magic right now...
**[10:29] Raphtalia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[10:32] Raphtalia**
Decipher the laws of nature and
conceal me in a haze.
**[10:37] Raphtalia**
Hide Mirage!
**[10:40] Filo**
Fast Tornado!
**[10:48] Man**
Some other trader told us to
mug the guy riding with you
**[10:52] Man**
because he was carrying
a bunch of nice stuff!
**[10:54] Man**
One of my own sold me out, huh?
**[10:57] Naofumi**
Well? What do we do with these guys?
**[10:59] Man**
Usually, you'd hand them
over to the local guards.
**[11:05] Man**
Aren't you the Shield Hero?
**[11:08] Man**
It was obvious since you had
no weapons, only a shield.
**[11:12] Naofumi**
"We're unlucky adventurers who were
attacked by the cruel Shield Hero!"
**[11:18] Naofumi**
Is that what you'll tell the guards?
**[11:19] Man**
Exactly.
**[11:21] Man**
They'll surely take our word
over the Shield Hero's.
**[11:27] Naofumi**
Then you leave me no choice.
**[11:28] Naofumi**
You'll have to die.
**[11:31] Naofumi**
Filo, are you hungry?
**[11:33] Filo**
I am!
**[11:35] Filo**
Food!
**[11:37] Naofumi**
She's an omnivore, you see.
**[11:39] Naofumi**
And she'll gulp anything down in one go.
**[11:41] Man**
Aren't you Our Savior of the Heavenly Fowl?
**[11:42] Man**
Do you really want to commit murder?!
**[11:44] Naofumi**
I'm no savior, and I need to
act in my best interests.
**[11:49] Naofumi**
You must've killed plenty of people so far.
**[11:51] Naofumi**
Just consider this your turn, and give up.
**[11:54] Man**
W-Wait, please! Anything but our lives!
**[11:58] Naofumi**
Got it.
**[11:59] Naofumi**
I'll spare your lives, at least.
**[12:02] Naofumi**
However...
**[12:16] Raphtalia**
We're looting the bandits?
**[12:19] Raphtalia**
Doesn't this make us more
evil than the criminals?
**[12:21] Man**
You're wrong there.
**[12:23] Man**
They offered up everything they had to
purchase their lives from Our Savior.
**[12:28] Man**
He's treating even lives as merchandise.
**[12:32] Man**
Sir Hero's a shining example of the
trader's spirit that's so rare nowadays!
**[12:38] Raphtalia**
I'm pretty sure this is just intimidation.
**[12:40] Naofumi**
You two... Less talk, more work.
**[12:44] Naofumi**
Also, how are you going to compensate
me for all this trouble you caused?
**[12:50] Man**
I offer you all the knowledge
and connections I possess.
**[12:55] Naofumi**
Knowledge and connections?
**[12:56] Man**
Yes. I've taken a real liking to you.
**[13:03] Naofumi**
* The first things the accessory*
* seller taught me*
**[13:06] Naofumi**
* were how to process precious metals,*
* use the tools required,*
**[13:10] Naofumi**
*craft gems, and imbue them with mana.*
**[13:17] Naofumi**
* I even managed to pick up some spells,*
* thanks to getting a feel for mana.*
**[13:21] Naofumi**
* And so, I gained a new*
* business venture: crafting gemstones.*
**[13:27] Naofumi**
* Then I gained an in with*
* the traders' grapevine,*
**[13:30] Naofumi**
*where I heard rumors of the other heroes.*
**[13:33] Naofumi**
* Apparently, Motoyasu saved a famine-stricken*
* village to the southwest*
**[13:36] Naofumi**
*by introducing a legendary crop.*
**[13:39] Naofumi**
*I bet that goddamn slut put him up to it.*
**[13:42] Naofumi**
* Ren's apparently southeast,*
* looking for vicious monsters to slay.*
**[13:47] Naofumi**
* I even heard a rumor that*
* said he took down a dragon.*
**[13:51] Naofumi**
* But the information regarding Itsuki,*
* the Bow Hero, was all over the place.*
**[13:56] Naofumi**
*Some said he's training up in the mountains,*
**[13:58] Naofumi**
* and some said he went into a*
* dungeon on a quest for treasure.*
**[14:01] Naofumi**
* There were even some tall tales, like him*
* joining another country's resistance,*
**[14:06] Naofumi**
*but none of them were credible.*
**[14:10] Naofumi**
* That seller certainly did provide us*
* with ample knowledge and connections.*
**[14:14] Naofumi**
* But one thing he offered helped*
* me more than any other.*
**[14:22] Man**
Yes, this deed is genuine.
**[14:25] Man**
I'm amazed that grumpy money-grubber
actually gave this to you.
**[14:30] Man**
Anyway, if there's a gemstone you want,
I can arrange getting it for you.
**[14:34] Man**
At a discount, of course.
**[14:37] Man**
What would you like?
**[14:39] Naofumi**
I want the gemstone used
to make magic threads.
**[14:47] Old Mage**
I'm amazed you learned where to
find that gemstone so quickly.
**[14:51] Naofumi**
It's not all good news.
**[14:54] Naofumi**
It seems to be in a rather dicey location.
**[14:56] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[15:04] Old Mage**
This temple was once a notoriously
evil alchemist's base of operations.
**[15:10] Old Mage**
I never knew there was a tunnel here.
**[15:14] Naofumi**
According to the mining chief,
**[15:17] Naofumi**
nobody's dared approach this place
since some monsters nested here.
**[15:20] Naofumi**
Stay on your toes.
**[15:31] Raphtalia**
It's empty.
**[15:34] Old Mage**
That's ancient writing.
**[15:35] Old Mage**
"We pray this seed never
makes it out of here.
**[15:39] Old Mage**
It is a horribly twisted
manifestation of our wish
**[15:43] Old Mage**
for nobody to starve."
**[15:46] Naofumi**
Looks like some bandits already
released it into the world, though.
**[15:50] Filo**
Master, there's a path down this way.
**[15:54] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[15:59] Naofumi**
Hey, Filo! What are you doing?
**[16:01] Naofumi**
Hurry up!
**[16:02] Filo**
Oh, Master!
**[16:04] Filo**
You see...
**[16:06] Naofumi**
*For crying out loud.*
**[16:07] Naofumi**
* If you won't listen to me,*
* then I don't need you anymore.*
**[16:16] Old Mage**
Stop.
**[16:18] Naofumi**
What is that?
**[16:19] Old Mage**
A monster footprint.
**[16:21] Old Mage**
It must be a rather large one.
**[16:23] Naofumi**
But we have to keep going until
we get what we're here for.
**[16:28] Naofumi**
Just be care—
**[16:30] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?!
**[16:31] Naofumi**
Stay calm!
**[16:33] Naofumi**
Hey, witch! What's going on?
**[16:34] Raphtalia**
* I'm sick and tired of being*
* Naofumi-sama's slave.*
**[16:38] Raphtalia**
* I only pretended to become his slave again*
* so I could kill him with my own hands.*
**[16:43] Raphtalia**
* I can stab him clean*
* through from behind now.*
**[16:46] Old Mage**
Don't let the voices mislead you!
**[16:48] Naofumi**
The witch?
**[16:48] Old Mage**
The monsters here provoke you by saying
the last things you want to hear,
**[16:52] Old Mage**
in the last voices you want saying them!
**[16:55] Naofumi**
How nasty is that?
**[16:56] Filo**
*Master is my food!*
**[17:00] Naofumi**
Hey, something cut me!
**[17:01] Naofumi**
Do something about this!
**[17:03] Old Mage**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[17:06] Old Mage**
Decipher the laws of nature and
restore our sight!
**[17:10] Old Mage**
Fast Anti-Bind!
**[17:14] Naofumi**
If we can see them...
**[17:16] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[17:17] Filo**
I'm gonna blow you away!
**[17:23] Old Mage**
Are you all okay?
**[17:25] Raphtalia**
Yes, I'm fine.
**[17:32] Naofumi**
I don't think this will come in handy.
***SIGN*** Voice Gengar Shield (Bat Form)
**[17:35] Naofumi**
Let's keep going.
**[17:37] Filo**
You won't abandon me, right, Master?
**[17:41] Naofumi**
I've got money riding on you.
**[17:43] Naofumi**
I won't get rid of you easily.
**[17:45] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[17:47] Raphtalia**
Don't worry.
**[17:49] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama would never say mean things
like those hallucinations you heard.
**[17:55] Filo**
Okay, I'll believe in him.
**[18:01] Naofumi**
It's nothing. Never mind.
**[18:06] Filo**
Something's in there.
**[18:16] Old Mage**
That's the gemstone.
**[18:17] Naofumi**
Yeah, but...
**[18:23] Old Mage**
That's a nue.
**[18:25] Old Mage**
It's on the small side, but still dangerous.
**[18:27] Naofumi**
This'll be rough.
**[18:29] Naofumi**
The gemstone's right there,
but we can't get it.
**[18:32] Raphtalia**
We're going!
**[18:35] Naofumi**
Those two!
**[18:36] Naofumi**
Cover us, please!
**[18:44] Old Mage**
Zweit Fire Blast!
**[18:51] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:55] Naofumi**
*Can I hold it off?*
**[18:56] Filo**
Don't!
**[19:00] Naofumi**
Hey!
**[19:05] Naofumi**
That was close...
**[19:07] Naofumi**
*We need to avoid that at all costs.*
**[19:10] Naofumi**
*But then how do we attack it?*
**[19:17] Naofumi**
Watch out, Raphtalia!
**[19:19] Naofumi**
It can see her?
**[19:21] Filo**
No. It hears her.
**[19:23] Filo**
It's really sensitive to sound.
**[19:27] Naofumi**
Sound?
**[19:32] Naofumi**
Filo! Yell in here as loud as you can!
**[19:35] Filo**
Okay!
**[19:35] Naofumi**
Everyone, cover your ears!
**[19:42] Naofumi**
Now!
**[19:42] Old Mage**
Zweit Fire Blast!
**[19:57] Filo**
We won!
**[19:59] Naofumi**
Are you unhurt?
**[20:00] Filo**
Yeah!
**[20:01] Raphtalia**
You?
**[20:02] Naofumi**
I'm fine.
**[20:04] Naofumi**
Don't charge in so recklessly.
**[20:07] Raphtalia**
But...
**[20:08] Naofumi**
What if you got a scar that never faded?
**[20:11] Raphtalia**
You're worried about my...
**[20:14] Naofumi**
Are we clear?
**[20:15] Raphtalia**
Y-Yes.
**[20:16] Filo**
Wow, so pretty!
**[20:24] Raphtalia**
It really is beautiful!
**[20:36] Filo**
This is making me tired...
**[20:39] Old Mage**
It's because you're converting
your mana into thread.
**[20:42] Old Mage**
Endure it for just a while longer.
**[20:46] Raphtalia**
I'll give you a snack once you finish.
**[20:48] Filo**
A yummy one? Then I'll keep going!
**[21:08] Filo**
How do I look, Master?
**[21:10] Naofumi**
Very nice.
**[21:11] Filo**
Yay! Thank you, Master!
**[21:15] Raphtalia**
I mean, sure, she looks cute...
**[21:17] Dressmaker**
Doesn't she?!
**[21:19] Dressmaker**
I did my very best to bring out every
last bit of Filo-chan's angelic charm!
**[21:25] Dressmaker**
I used white as the base color,
to go with her wings.
**[21:28] Dressmaker**
I added in plenty of frills as
a nod to her feathers, too.
**[21:31] Dressmaker**
And since it'd contrast
best with her blonde hair,
**[21:35] Dressmaker**
I went with blue for the ribbon!
**[21:37] Raphtalia**
R-Right...
**[21:38] Naofumi**
The monster crest and magic outfit
add up to 340 silvers in total.
**[21:44] Naofumi**
You'd better work hard to pay it off.
**[21:46] Filo**
Yeah! I'll do my best!
**[21:50] Raphtalia**
Don't suddenly transform indoors!
**[21:55] Dressmaker**
The ribbon looks oh-so-cute
even in her monster form!
**[21:58] Dressmaker**
Don't you agree?
**[22:00] Dressmaker**
You agree, don't you, Father?
**[22:02] Naofumi**
Don't ask me!

***SIGN*** The Savior of the Heavenly Fowl
**[01:34] Man**
* I've received an order for*
* herbicide, Shield Hero.*
**[01:38] (Flashback) Man**
A village to the south needs
a lot of it, and immediately.
**[01:42] (Flashback) Man**
You're the only one I can ask.
You have the Heavenly Fowl.
**[01:47] Naofumi**
* Why would they need herbicide*
* so quickly, and so much of it?*
**[01:52] Filo**
Master, the plants here are amazing.
**[02:00] Naofumi**
Yeah, you'd definitely
need herbicide for this.
**[02:03] Raphtalia**
Look, Naofumi-sama.
**[02:07] Naofumi**
Take us there, Filo.
**[02:10] Filo**
Okay!
**[02:16] Old Man**
Thank you so much.
**[02:18] Old Man**
This place was about to
fall to the vines, too.
**[02:21] Raphtalia**
Couldn't you have burned them?
**[02:25] Old Man**
We tried everything we could think of.
**[02:28] Old Man**
We even summoned adventurers,
but the situation remains grave.
**[02:32] Old Man**
Our village was already overrun by vines.
**[02:35] Old Man**
What's worse, the plants turned
into monsters and attacked us.
**[02:39] Naofumi**
Turned into monsters?
**[02:43] Old Man**
Some adventurers set out for
the village to level up.
**[02:49] Old Man**
I tried to stop them, but to no avail.
**[02:52] Naofumi**
Filo, grab the adventurers
and bring them back here.
**[02:56] Filo**
Okay. Be wighd bag.
**[03:05] Filo**
Plant monsters were all over the place.
**[03:07] Filo**
Some even spat poison or acid.
**[03:11] Filo**
Why would these guys go
there when they're so weak?
**[03:13] Filo**
They must be stupid.
**[03:16] Raphtalia**
You didn't have to say that last part.
**[03:18] Filo**
Huh?
**[03:19] Raphtalia**
Don't "huh" me.
**[03:21] Filo**
Ugh...
**[03:22] Man**
Hey, that bird that talked.
**[03:22] Raphtalia**
Don't "ugh" me either.
**[03:24] Filo**
Tch.
**[03:24] Man**
Could it be...
**[03:25] Man**
That has to be the Heavenly Fowl!
**[03:27] Man**
The Savior of the Heavenly Fowl
has come to our village, too!
**[03:30] Old Man**
Are you the savior who travels in a carriage
drawn by a heavenly fowl?
**[03:36] Naofumi**
You've got the wrong guy.
**[03:37] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[03:39] Old Man**
We beg you!
**[03:40] Old Man**
Could you please heal our
sick using your powers?
**[03:44] Raphtalia**
Wait, some of you are sick?
**[03:50] Old Man**
As you can see, the plants are
devouring their bodies.
**[03:55] Naofumi**
They're even parasitic?
**[03:58] Old Man**
Please, Savior! Help them with your powers!
**[04:02] Naofumi**
I can't say for sure that
I'll be able to heal them.
***SIGN*** Potion Enhance
**[04:21] Naofumi**
Next.
**[04:22] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[04:25] Raphtalia**
I'm glad it went well.
**[04:26] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[04:27] Naofumi**
But we're leaving as soon as
we get paid for the treatment.
**[04:30] Naofumi**
I don't want to be dragged
any further into this mess.
**[04:34] Raphtalia**
I daresay that might be difficult.
**[04:37] Old Man**
Our Savior of the Heavenly Fowl!
**[04:40] Old Man**
Please save our village!
**[04:46] Old Man**
Our village was being ravaged by
famine when the Spear Hero visited.
**[04:52] Old Man**
When he heard of our plight,
**[04:55] Old Man**
he went to some nearby ruins and brought
back a seed that had been sealed there.
**[05:02] Old Man**
He called it a miracle seed.
**[05:04] Naofumi**
A miracle seed that was sealed away?
**[05:09] Naofumi**
That was it, huh?
**[05:11] Man**
At first, we were overjoyed when we saw how
quickly the plants grew and bore fruit.
**[05:16] Man**
However...
**[05:17] Raphtalia**
They grew too much and
overwhelmed your village?
**[05:21] Old Man**
Indeed.
**[05:22] Old Man**
While investigating our options,
**[05:24] Old Man**
we hit upon a legend
passed down the village.
**[05:27] Old Man**
A long time ago, an alchemist who'd set
up shop in this area created a seed,
**[05:32] Old Man**
but sealed it away for some reason.
**[05:35] Man**
The legend also said that plants had
overtaken the region for a while.
**[05:41] Naofumi**
Hold on a second.
**[05:42] Naofumi**
Why did none of you have doubts about
that seed if you knew about this legend?
**[05:48] Naofumi**
You convinced yourself it was safe
because a hero brought it to you?
**[05:55] Old Man**
We'll pay for treatments, and for
the monster extermination, in advance!
**[06:01] Old Man**
Please save our village!
**[06:08] Naofumi**
I don't like cleaning up
after that moron Motoyasu,
**[06:11] Naofumi**
but I'll earn my keep.
**[06:16] Old Man**
That shield... Could it be?
**[06:18] Naofumi**
Let's go, Filo!
**[06:46] Naofumi**
Take that thing out, and it'll all be over?
**[06:49] Naofumi**
I hope it's that easy.
**[06:50] Filo**
Master, I'm going.
**[06:54] Raphtalia**
Wait, Filo!
**[06:57] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[07:12] Naofumi**
*It regenerates too quickly.*
**[07:14] Naofumi**
*If normal attacks won't work...*
**[07:16] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[07:17] Naofumi**
Splash this herbicide
directly on that eyeball.
**[07:19] Raphtalia**
Got it!
**[07:21] Raphtalia**
Let's go, Filo.
**[07:23] Filo**
Okay.
**[07:33] Filo**
Don't hold me back, Onee-chan!
**[07:35] Raphtalia**
H-Hold you back?
**[07:37] Naofumi**
Watch out!
**[07:44] Raphtalia**
Did you just laugh, Filo?
**[07:46] Filo**
No, I did not.
**[07:48] Filo**
Never mind that. Get the herbicide.
**[07:50] Raphtalia**
"Never mind"?
**[07:59] Naofumi**
*Regenerating again?*
**[08:02] Naofumi**
*Come to think of it...*
**[08:04] Naofumi**
* If the Potion Enhance skill works*
* on the herbicide as well...*
**[08:11] Raphtalia**
Stay away, Naofumi-sama!
**[08:26] Filo**
You're amazing, Master!
**[08:29] Raphtalia**
This is what the Shield Hero can do...
***SIGN*** Potion Enhance
**[08:43] Raphtalia**
It's working!
**[08:49] Naofumi**
Get back, you two!
**[09:03] Naofumi**
Those seeds could cause more trouble.
**[09:05] Naofumi**
Let's gather them up.
**[09:12] Raphtalia**
That one was mine.
**[09:14] Filo**
I got it first.
**[09:16] Raphtalia**
Me!
**[09:17] Filo**
No, me!
**[09:19] Raphtalia**
No, me!
**[09:20] Filo**
Me!
**[09:21] Naofumi**
What am I gonna do with them?
***SIGN*** Bio Plant Shield
**[09:27] Naofumi**
*Plant Modification?*
**[09:44] Raphtalia**
What are you doing?
**[09:46] Naofumi**
I unlocked a skill called Plant Modification,
so I tried a little experiment.
**[09:51] Raphtalia**
We just barely took down that monster,
so please don't be so reckless.
**[09:58] Old Man**
Thank you so much, Our Savior...
No, Shield Hero!
**[10:04] Naofumi**
I exterminated the monsters.
**[10:06] Naofumi**
You guys clean up the
withered vines yourselves.
**[10:09] Old Man**
R-Right...
**[10:10] Naofumi**
I'm tired. I'm going to sleep.
**[10:11] Raphtalia**
Oh, sure.
**[10:26] Woman**
Here you go.
**[10:27] Raphtalia**
Thank you.
**[10:29] Old Man**
It's hard to get a read on
the Shield Hero, isn't it?
**[10:34] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[10:35] Raphtalia**
He's so quiet and cool, isn't he?
**[10:38] Old Man**
U-Uh... right.
***SIGN*** Plant Analysis Skill Unlocked
***SIGN*** Bio Plant Seed
**[10:54] Naofumi**
I guess that'll do it.
**[10:57] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[11:01] Naofumi**
You can sleep some more.
**[11:02] Raphtalia**
No, it's fine.
**[11:04] Raphtalia**
Is that a seed from yesterday?
**[11:07] Naofumi**
Wait and watch.
**[11:08] Raphtalia**
Like I said, please don't take such risks...
**[11:21] Naofumi**
It worked.
**[11:25] Filo**
Those look yummy!
**[11:28] Naofumi**
I curbed their breeding
and mutation potential,
**[11:31] Naofumi**
then increased their growth and productivity.
**[11:34] Naofumi**
With this, they should bear lots of edible
fruit without turning into monsters.
**[11:37] Old Man**
Wow.
**[11:38] Naofumi**
The village will never have
to worry about famine again.
**[11:41] Old Man**
Thank you so much, Sir Hero!
**[11:44] Old Man**
Not only did you save us from danger,
**[11:46] Old Man**
you're giving us such a wonderful gift!
**[11:49] Naofumi**
Who said anything about *giving* it to you?
**[11:51] Naofumi**
Let's cut a deal.
**[11:53] Naofumi**
I'll sell you these seeds.
**[11:54] Naofumi**
For the right price, of course.
**[11:56] Raphtalia**
You're too greedy, Naofumi-sama.
**[11:59] Old Man**
B-But we paid everything we had for
the treatment and extermination.
**[12:04] Naofumi**
You can also exchange goods for them.
**[12:07] Old Man**
What? But we have nothing left...
**[12:13] Filo**
This is fun!
**[12:15] Naofumi**
Those guys are really tough-minded.
**[12:17] Filo**
This feels great!
**[12:18] Raphtalia**
We have so much fruit,
**[12:20] Raphtalia**
most of it will rot before we can eat it.
**[12:23] Naofumi**
Don't worry. I know someone
we can sell it to.
**[12:27] Man**
This seed certainly is very impressive.
**[12:30] Man**
I'll gladly buy it all,
including the produce.
**[12:33] Naofumi**
We have a deal, then.
**[12:35] Man**
You placed several attractive products
in sight to create an advantage.
**[12:40] Man**
You truly are a shining example
of the trader's spirit!
**[12:43] Naofumi**
Is that so?
**[12:44] Man**
Oh, yes.
**[12:45] Man**
If you aren't busy, could I request
your assistance with a job?
**[12:52] Man**
* There's a hot springs town*
* not too far away from here.*
**[12:56] Man**
* I need you to deliver some*
* goods to an inn there.*
**[13:00] Woman**
Great. The order is complete.
**[13:03] Woman**
See you.
**[13:06] Naofumi**
* There are hot springs towns*
* in this world, too?*
**[13:10] Filo**
So warm!
**[13:13] Filo**
Hey, Master.
**[13:15] Filo**
I wanna go in this hot spring thing, too.
**[13:17] Naofumi**
Hot spring, huh?
**[13:19] Naofumi**
How about you, Raphtalia?
**[13:22] Raphtalia**
I'm not *that* interested.
**[13:25] Raphtalia**
But if you and Filo want
to go, I'll accompany you.
**[13:30] Naofumi**
That's that. We're spending the night here.
**[13:33] Raphtalia**
Thank you—
**[13:35] Filo**
Master!
**[13:37] Filo**
I wuv you!
**[13:45] Raphtalia**
I'm happy that we're staying
in a hot springs inn,
**[13:47] Raphtalia**
but Filo's being too clingy
with Naofumi-sama.
**[13:51] Raphtalia**
I want to be clingy with him, too!
**[14:00] Raphtalia**
"The origin of this hot spring,
and its benefits"?
**[14:04] Raphtalia**
What does a silver boar have
to do with a hot spring?
**[14:06] Raphtalia**
Whatever.
**[14:08] Raphtalia**
Its effects are... success in love?!
**[14:12] Raphtalia**
"A couple that enters this hot spring
together will be united forever"?!
**[14:17] Raphtalia**
Th-Then, if I can take a b-bath
together with Naofumi-sama...
**[14:24] Raphtalia**
N-No, Naofumi-sama!
**[14:26] Raphtalia**
We can't k-k-kiss! I'll get pregnant!
**[14:30] Naofumi**
Wow, an open-air bath?
**[14:33] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[14:39] Filo**
So big!
**[14:42] Naofumi**
Filo, don't swim in the bath.
**[14:44] Filo**
I can't?
**[14:46] Naofumi**
Wait, is that okay in this world?
**[14:47] Raphtalia**
* I was wondering why Filo wasn't here yet,*
* and she's with Naofumi-sama?*
**[14:52] Filo**
You swim too, Master.
**[14:54] Naofumi**
I'm not going to.
**[14:55] Filo**
Then wash my hair.
**[14:57] Naofumi**
Can't you do it yourself?
**[15:06] Raphtalia**
* In the end, Filo was with*
* Naofumi-sama the whole time.*
**[15:11] Raphtalia**
*Anyway, I want to share this drink with him.*
**[15:15] Filo**
That feels good, Master.
**[15:18] Naofumi**
You have way too much hair.
Brushing it is a pain.
**[15:21] Filo**
Really?
**[15:24] Naofumi**
Raphtalia had much shorter hair.
**[15:27] Raphtalia**
*I wish he'd brush my hair too, like before.*
**[15:31] Raphtalia**
Um...
**[15:32] Raphtalia**
I also...
**[15:33] Filo**
Master, I'm thirsty.
**[15:35] Naofumi**
Sit still,
**[15:37] Naofumi**
or I won't brush your hair again.
**[15:39] Filo**
No! It feels good, so keep going!
**[15:42] Filo**
Also, do my feathers, too.
**[15:45] Naofumi**
Do your wings yourself.
**[15:48] Naofumi**
What's up, Raphtalia?
**[15:50] Raphtalia**
Nothing.
**[15:54] Filo**
Onee-chan, gimme.
**[16:06] Raphtalia**
* I have to do something, or Filo*
* will steal my Naofumi-sama.*
**[16:14] Raphtalia**
*If I want to turn this around all at once...*
**[16:22] Raphtalia**
* Mom used to say that a gift was the best*
* way to get your beloved's attention.*
**[16:29] Raphtalia**
* She fell in love with Dad after*
* he gave her a gift, too.*
**[16:38] Raphtalia**
*If I can give him some latium...*
**[16:41] (Flashback) Woman**
Hey, have you heard of latium?
**[16:43] (Flashback) Woman**
Oh, you mean that rare
crystal found in this area?
**[16:47] (Flashback) Woman**
Apparently, love charms made
with it work really well.
**[16:51] (Flashback) Woman**
What? Really?
**[16:53] Raphtalia**
*A bird called a gagocco collects latium,*
**[16:55] Raphtalia**
* so if I find one of their nests,*
* I'll get my hands on some!*
**[16:58] Raphtalia**
*And then, I'll give it to Naofumi-sama...*
**[17:04] Raphtalia**
W-We mustn't, Naofumi-sama!
**[17:06] Raphtalia**
Like I said, if we kiss...
**[17:08] Filo**
What's this about Master?
**[17:10] Raphtalia**
Huh? That voice...
**[17:12] Raphtalia**
Filo?
**[17:14] Raphtalia**
*Why is she up in the mountains?*
**[17:16] Raphtalia**
*Is she after the latium, too?*
**[17:18] Filo**
You're here for the eggs too, aren't you?
**[17:21] Raphtalia**
Huh?
**[17:22] Filo**
The old man at the inn told me
**[17:24] Filo**
that the eggs of a bird called
a gagocco are a rare delicacy.
**[17:28] Raphtalia**
*Oh, she's just being a glutton like always.*
**[17:31] Raphtalia**
*She's still such a child.*
**[17:33] Filo**
If I take a rare delicacy to Master,
**[17:37] Filo**
I'm sure he'll pet me and become my mate.
**[17:41] Raphtalia**
M-Mate?!
**[17:43] Raphtalia**
*Mating means marriage!*
**[17:44] Raphtalia**
Filo's thinking that far ahead?
**[17:47] Filo**
So I won't let you have the eggs, Onee-chan.
**[17:52] Raphtalia**
Wait up!
**[17:55] Filo**
Eggs, eggs, yummy eggs!
**[18:02] Raphtalia**
When did this become a race?
**[18:06] Filo**
You're so slow, Onee-chan.
**[18:09] Raphtalia**
Watch out, Filo!
**[18:20] Raphtalia**
Ow...
**[18:21] Filo**
Are you okay, Onee-chan?
**[18:24] Raphtalia**
Yeah. Are you okay?
**[18:26] Filo**
Yep. Thanks.
**[18:29] Raphtalia**
It's good that this thing
cushioned our fall.
**[18:46] Raphtalia**
What now?!
**[18:47] Filo**
Onee-chan, get on me!
**[19:03] Filo**
That was scary.
**[19:06] Raphtalia**
Thank you, Filo.
**[19:08] Raphtalia**
Now we're even, right?
**[19:12] Filo**
Yep!
**[19:19] Raphtalia**
So that's a gagocco and its nest.
**[19:20] Filo**
Eggs, eggs!
**[19:32] Raphtalia**
Sorry to scare you.
**[19:33] Raphtalia**
I just really need that crystal.
**[19:49] Filo**
My eggs...
**[19:57] Filo**
Onee-chan...
**[19:59] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[20:14] Raphtalia**
* In the end, we didn't find*
* any other gagocco nests.*
**[20:22] Raphtalia**
* Will giving Naofumi-sama this*
* thing instead make him happy?*
**[20:25] Man**
Hey, you guys.
**[20:28] Man**
Is that a silver razorback?
**[20:32] Raphtalia**
Huh?
**[20:33] Man**
Like that thing over there.
**[20:35] Raphtalia**
Oh.
**[20:36] Man**
Could you give it to us?
**[20:38] Man**
Silver razorbacks are valuable prey,
used as offerings in town rituals.
**[20:44] Man**
Please! We'll pay good money for it!
**[20:47] Raphtalia**
Money?
**[20:48] Filo**
Onee-chan...
**[20:51] Naofumi**
For me?
**[20:53] Filo**
Yep.
**[20:54] Raphtalia**
Filo and I picked it out.
**[20:56] Raphtalia**
We thought you might want a
tool to help you craft metals.
**[20:59] Naofumi**
I do...
**[21:00] Naofumi**
But wasn't this pretty expensive?
**[21:04] Raphtalia**
It's a token of our gratitude to you,
for always taking such good care of us.
**[21:10] Filo**
Yep. A gift for you, Master.
**[21:13] Naofumi**
Thanks. I'll make good use of it.
**[21:17] Naofumi**
Also...
**[21:21] Naofumi**
Both of you, go take a
dip in the hot spring.
**[21:28] Raphtalia**
*He still treats me like a child at times,*
**[21:31] Raphtalia**
* but I'll make him recognize*
* my womanly charms one day!*
**[21:36] Raphtalia**
Right, Filo?
**[21:38] Filo**
Yep!
**[23:13] Man**
Godspeed.
**[23:15] Man**
An epidemic to the east?
**[23:17] Man**
Yeah. Medicine's flying off
the shelves, apparently.
**[23:23] Raphtalia**
Where shall we head next, Naofumi-sama?
**[23:27] Naofumi**
East.

Can't sleep, Master?
**[00:43] Naofumi**
I just came to check on you two.
**[00:45] Naofumi**
Go back to sleep.
**[00:46] Filo**
'Kay.
**[00:49] Filo**
Good night, Master.
**[00:52] Filo**
See you tomorrow.
**[00:54] Naofumi**
Yeah, night.

**[02:45] Woman**
You folks had better turn back.
**[02:49] Kid**
If you keep going, you'll die.
**[02:52] Naofumi**
We heard there's a village down this path.
**[02:56] Woman**
The village is done for.
**[02:58] Woman**
The plague even got the village elder.
**[03:06] Raphtalia**
What could be happening there?
**[03:08] Naofumi**
We'll see when we get there.
**[03:24] Man**
What brings you to a place like this?
**[03:27] Naofumi**
I'm a traveling merchant.
I'm here to sell you medicine.
**[03:29] Man**
A traveling merchant?
**[03:31] Man**
Wait, that filolial...
**[03:34] Man**
Could it be the Heavenly Fowl?
**[03:36] Man**
Doctor!
**[03:39] Doctor**
What's the matter?
**[03:41] Man**
Our Savior of the Heavenly
Fowl has come for us!
**[03:47] Naofumi**
"Doctor"?
**[03:48] Doctor**
I run the village clinic.
**[03:51] Doctor**
If I may ask, are you really...
**[03:54] Naofumi**
I'm only here to sell you medicine.
**[03:56] Doctor**
Even that would be a great help!
**[03:58] Doctor**
I cannot make nearly enough for everyone!
**[04:06] Nurse**
Doctor, who are these people?
**[04:08] Doctor**
Oh, they say they'll sell us medicine.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
Looking at this, I should probably
give it to them myself.
**[04:32] Filo**
Here.
**[04:46] Naofumi**
Fifty silvers, huh?
**[04:47] Doctor**
Will it do?
**[04:49] Naofumi**
You're a bit short, but I'll take it.
**[04:52] Doctor**
You were truly a great help.
**[04:55] Doctor**
Now we've staved off the immediate crisis.
**[04:57] Naofumi**
Are you satisfied with that?
**[04:59] Naofumi**
All I did was treat their symptoms.
I didn't cure them.
**[05:03] Naofumi**
They'll eventually go back to square one.
**[05:05] Doctor**
You're indeed right.
**[05:07] Naofumi**
Not that I mind, since I'll
make good money anyway.
**[05:10] Naofumi**
Let's see what dies out first,
you or your coffers.
**[05:15] Nurse**
We know that we can't let this go on!
**[05:18] Nurse**
But...
**[05:18] Nurse**
There's nothing we can do.
**[05:21] Raphtalia**
What do you mean?
**[05:23] Nurse**
We believe the wind from the mountain
that's home to monsters is the cause.
**[05:29] Naofumi**
The mountain that's home to monsters?
**[05:31] Doctor**
Around a month ago, a large
dragon that nested there
**[05:35] Doctor**
was killed by the Sword Hero.
**[05:39] Naofumi**
Oh, I did hear rumors about that.
**[05:42] Naofumi**
But what does that have
to do with the plague?
**[05:45] Doctor**
In order to see the dragon's
corpse and gather materials,
**[05:48] Doctor**
many adventurers came to our village.
**[05:51] Doctor**
That certainly did help
the village flourish.
**[05:55] Doctor**
But one day, an adventurer collapsed, and more followed.
**[05:58] Doctor**
The dragon's flesh must have begun
to rot and emit some kind of poison.
**[06:04] Naofumi**
*Damn Ren.*
**[06:06] Naofumi**
* Even a high schooler like him should*
* know that meat rots when you leave it out.*
**[06:11] Naofumi**
Actually, I guess it must've slipped his mind,
since he thinks this world is a game.
**[06:16] Raphtalia**
If you know the cause,
then why don't you get rid of it?
**[06:20] Nurse**
That mountain's filled with violent monsters,
so only adventurers can go there.
**[06:25] Nurse**
We can't do anything about it.
**[06:27] Doctor**
And perhaps due to the dragon's poison,
the ecology there has changed, too.
**[06:32] Doctor**
The average adventurer cannot
get anywhere near the corpse.
**[06:38] Naofumi**
Have you informed the
royal court about this?
**[06:39] Doctor**
Yes. We're slated to receive
a medicine delivery shortly.
**[06:43] Nurse**
But they said the heroes are
too busy to help for a while yet.
**[06:48] Raphtalia**
Is that so?
**[06:49] Naofumi**
Cancel the request you made to the court.
**[06:52] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[06:54] Naofumi**
Prepare to set out.
**[06:55] Raphtalia**
Right away!
**[06:56] Doctor**
Wait, are you planning to go yourself?
**[06:59] Doctor**
It's too dangerous!
**[07:01] Raphtalia**
Don't worry. We're used to danger.
**[07:04] Doctor**
I can't find the words to
express our gratitude.
**[07:07] Naofumi**
Keep your thanks.
**[07:09] Naofumi**
What I want is money.
**[07:10] Naofumi**
Five hundred silvers will cover it.
**[07:12] Doctor**
Five hundred? That's too much!
**[07:15] Naofumi**
That includes hazard pay.
**[07:17] Naofumi**
You can just pay me what you
were going to pay the court.
**[07:20] Nurse**
"Savior," my foot.
He's just a money-grubber.
**[07:22] Doctor**
Stop that!
**[07:24] Naofumi**
I don't recall ever calling myself a savior.
**[07:31] Raphtalia**
You're deliberately trying to make them hate you,
aren't you, Naofumi-sama?

**[07:39] Raphtalia**
Anyway, I know we're dealing
with a dragon here,
**[07:42] Raphtalia**
but this is a huge loadout.
**[07:44] Naofumi**
We had to take the wagon either way.
**[07:46] Naofumi**
A little more luggage is no problem.
**[07:49] Raphtalia**
We could've traveled lighter if
Filo hadn't thrown a tantrum.
**[07:53] (Flashback) Filo**
I've made a lifetime's worth
of memories with this wagon.
**[07:56] (Flashback) Filo**
I don't wanna leave it behind!
**[07:58] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Yeah, your lifetime of one whole month.
**[08:02] Raphtalia**
I don't know what to do
about Filo's selfishness.
**[08:05] Naofumi**
Actually, it might've
been a pretty good idea.
**[08:11] Naofumi**
We'll never get anywhere
if we try to fight them all.
**[08:14] Naofumi**
As Shield Hero, source of
thy power, I order thee.
**[08:17] Naofumi**
Decipher the laws of nature
and defend my target.
**[08:21] Naofumi**
Fast Guard!
**[08:24] Naofumi**
Run right through them, Filo!
**[08:25] Filo**
'Kay!
**[08:36] Naofumi**
The air here is stagnant.
**[08:38] Naofumi**
Stay back if you're having a hard time.
**[08:40] Raphtalia**
No, I'll be fine.
**[08:42] Naofumi**
I see.
**[08:43] Naofumi**
But man, we should've
eaten before coming here.
**[08:47] Naofumi**
Looking at this is making
me lose my appetite.
**[08:52] Filo**
Looking at it made me hungry.
**[08:55] Raphtalia**
Don't overeat!
**[08:58] Naofumi**
Looking at its size, even taking
it apart will be a pain.
**[09:20] Naofumi**
A dragon zombie?!
**[09:24] Raphtalia**
What do we do, Naofumi-sama?
**[09:26] Naofumi**
For now, get away from it!
**[09:34] Filo**
A dragon!
**[09:35] Filo**
I hate dragons!
**[09:40] Naofumi**
Maybe we *can* fight it.
**[09:46] Naofumi**
Get behind me, you two!
**[09:56] Naofumi**
* My shield can't block all*
* of its poison breath.*
**[09:59] Naofumi**
*I have resistance, but Raphtalia doesn't!*
**[10:01] Naofumi**
*Still...*
**[10:02] Naofumi**
* If we don't stop it here,*
* it'll cause even more problems!*
**[10:08] Filo**
Now I'm mad!
**[10:10] Naofumi**
Filo! Don't fight it alone!
**[10:16] Naofumi**
We have to get away and regroup.
**[10:18] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raphtalia.
**[10:20] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[10:22] Naofumi**

**[10:24] Naofumi**
Hey!

Raphtalia!
**[15:42] Naofumi**

**[15:45] Raphtalia**
Yes... thanks to your healing.
**[15:50] Raphtalia**
What happened to the dragon?
**[16:08] Raphtalia**
Is that you, Filo?
**[16:10] Filo**
I finally got back out!
**[16:13] Raphtalia**
You're okay?
**[16:14] Filo**
Yep.
**[16:16] Raphtalia**
But you were eaten,
and there was all that blood...
**[16:18] Filo**
Blood?
**[16:20] Filo**
Oh, I threw up my food when I got gobbled.
**[16:27] Naofumi**
It was that red fruit?
**[16:29] Filo**
Were you worried about me, Master?
**[16:34] Naofumi**
Who knows?
**[16:35] Filo**
Why are you looking away?
**[16:38] Naofumi**
Get away from me.
**[16:39] Raphtalia**
So, wait, you killed the dragon, too?
**[16:43] Filo**
Yep. When I was tearing at its
belly trying to get out,
**[16:47] Filo**
I found a big purple crystal.
**[16:50] Filo**
It was shining.
**[16:52] Naofumi**
A crystal?
**[16:54] Naofumi**
That was its core, huh?
**[16:57] Naofumi**
So, where's the crystal?
**[17:03] Naofumi**
You ate it?!
**[17:06] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[17:08] Filo**
Onee-chan?
**[17:09] Naofumi**
We'll give her the medicine in the carriage
and head back to the village at once.
**[17:13] Raphtalia**
No.
**[17:15] Raphtalia**
We have to deal with the dragon's corpse.
**[17:17] Naofumi**
You come first!
**[17:19] Raphtalia**
I'll be fine.
**[17:21] Raphtalia**
I'll take that medicine
and lie down for a bit.
**[17:25] Naofumi**
Filo, let's hurry and clean this mess up.
**[17:27] Filo**
'Kay!
**[17:29] Doctor**
The mountain wind has gone back to normal.
**[17:33] Doctor**
We'll be all right now.
**[17:35] Doctor**
Thank you so very much.
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Use that money to treat Raphtalia.
**[17:40] Naofumi**
I don't care how much it costs.
**[17:42] Naofumi**
Please cure her.
**[17:44] Doctor**
Curing her will be difficult.
**[17:47] Doctor**
She's been afflicted with a curse,
and a powerful one at that.
**[17:51] Doctor**
We've wrapped her with bandages
soaked in holy water,
**[17:55] Doctor**
but we don't have holy water
pure enough to dispel curses.
**[18:01] Doctor**
If you go to a church in a big town,
I'm sure you'll find some.
**[18:04] Doctor**
Keep this money for when you do.
**[18:08] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[18:13] Filo**
Onee-chan, are you okay?
**[18:15] Raphtalia**
Yes. I've been tended to,
**[18:17] Raphtalia**
so I'll be fine.
**[18:19] Nurse**
I never knew corpses could inflict
such powerful curses.
**[18:23] Nurse**
Dragons are terrifying creatures.
**[18:26] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[18:27] Raphtalia**
I shouldn't have been so careless and
gotten all that rotten flesh on me.
**[18:35] Nurse**
He cares about you very much, doesn't he?
**[18:37] Raphtalia**
Huh? Er, uh...
**[18:39] Nurse**
Take care, Raphtalia-san.
**[18:44] Naofumi**
I'm sorry.
**[18:46] Raphtalia**
It's all right.
**[18:48] Raphtalia**
It's just...
**[18:50] Raphtalia**
I got the feeling that power would
take you somewhere far away.
**[18:55] Raphtalia**
So, given that I was able to stop you,
this doesn't bother me one bit.
**[19:03] Filo**
Are you leaving us, Master?
**[19:07] Naofumi**
I'm not going anywhere.
**[19:10] Filo**
I have a gift for you, Master!
**[19:14] Naofumi**
What's this?
**[19:17] Filo**
A crystal that was inside the dragon.
**[19:19] Raphtalia**
You threw it up?
**[19:22] Filo**
No! I kept this one to be a gift!
**[19:26] Naofumi**
* If this is a crystallization of the*
* residual mana from the dragon's corpse...*

*My level isn't high enough, huh?*
**[19:41] Naofumi**
*That shield wasn't in the upgrade tree.*
**[19:45] Naofumi**
*If I'd continued to use its power,*
**[19:47] Naofumi**
* I would've killed both Raphtalia and Filo,*
* who was inside the dragon.*
**[19:52] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[19:55] Naofumi**
Forgive me, you two.
**[19:58] Naofumi**
I put you both in danger
because I hesitated.
**[20:03] Naofumi**
Just as bravery and recklessness differ,
so too do caution and cowardice.
**[20:08] Naofumi**
If I remain a coward, I'll fail
to protect the things I care about.
**[20:12] Naofumi**
Back then, I should've stepped
up and distracted the dragon.
**[20:17] Naofumi**
There were so many things I could've done.
**[20:20] Raphtalia**
It wasn't your fault, Naofumi-sama!
**[20:22] Raphtalia**
If only I had been stronger...
**[20:25] Filo**
I messed up, too.
**[20:26] Filo**
I charged in because
I hate dragons so much.
**[20:30] Naofumi**
You two...
**[20:37] Naofumi**
We are stronger now than we were yesterday,
**[20:40] Naofumi**
and we'll be even stronger tomorrow.
**[20:43] Naofumi**
Let's keep that up, one day at a time.
**[20:45] Raphtalia**
Yes, let's. Together.
**[20:47] Filo**
I'll work hard, too!
**[20:49] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[20:50] Filo**
Wow, you smiled, Master!
**[20:54] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[20:55] Raphtalia**
You finally showed us a normal smile.
**[20:58] Naofumi**
Did I...?
**[21:00] Filo**
Yep! Right, Onee-chan?
**[21:02] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[21:06] Naofumi**
It's gotten late.
**[21:07] Naofumi**
Get some sleep and rest up.
**[21:09] Filo**
'Kay!
**[21:11] Raphtalia**
U-Um...
**[21:14] Raphtalia**
Could you spend the night with me?
**[21:18] Naofumi**
Don't want to be lonely?
**[21:19] Raphtalia**
It's not that.
**[21:21] Raphtalia**
I thought I would be allowed
to have this, just this once.
**[21:24] Naofumi**
Filo...
**[21:26] Naofumi**
Sleep with Raphtalia tonight.
**[21:28] Filo**
'Kay!
**[21:29] Raphtalia**
Huh?
**[21:30] Naofumi**
You're cold, aren't you?
**[21:32] Raphtalia**
That's not what I meant...
**[21:35] Filo**
Join us, Master.
**[21:38] Naofumi**
No way.
**[21:40] Naofumi**
I'm not warm, you know.
**[21:51] Naofumi**
*I have to grow stronger...*
**[21:54] Naofumi**
*Along with the people who believe in me.*
**[21:58] Naofumi**
*And I'll protect them,*
**[22:00] Naofumi**
*come what may!*

**[00:13] Naofumi**
You okay?
**[00:14] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[00:17] Filo**
Are you okay, Onee-chan?
**[00:19] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[00:20] Naofumi**
I'm the one who agreed to take this job.
**[00:23] Naofumi**
Don't force yourself to keep up.
**[00:25] Raphtalia**
No, I'll be fine.
**[00:27] Raphtalia**
I'm the one who begged you to let me fight.
**[00:30] Naofumi**
But...
**[00:32] Raphtalia**
We're almost done, anyway.
**[00:39] Raphtalia**
We managed to finish the job, thankfully.
**[00:42] Filo**
I wanted to fight some more.
**[00:52] Naofumi**
We start heading back to
the capital tomorrow.
**[00:54] Raphtalia**
Huh? You're wrapping up the trading trip?
**[00:57] Naofumi**
Your treatment takes priority.
**[01:00] Naofumi**
We need potent holy water from the
capital's church to dispel that curse.
**[01:05] Raphtalia**
But...
**[01:06] Naofumi**
We have a long road ahead of us.
**[01:08] Naofumi**
Take it easy.
**[01:09] Raphtalia**
Okay...
**[01:13] Filo**
I hope you get better soon.
**[01:16] Raphtalia**
Thank you, Filo.
**[01:18] Filo**
Sure.
**[01:21] Filo**
Master,
**[01:24] Filo**
something's going on there.
**[01:27] Raphtalia**
Is that...
**[01:42] Raphtalia**
a human child?
***SIGN*** Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Melty
**[03:21] Filo**
Those birds looked yummy.
**[03:23] Filo**
If we go after them now,
we can hunt them down.
**[03:26] Raphtalia**
Wait, yummy?
**[03:31] Naofumi**
Now look here, Filo.
**[03:32] Naofumi**
Those were your own kind.
**[03:35] Filo**
My own kind?
**[03:36] Melromarc**
So big...
**[03:41] Melromarc**
Are you a filolial?
**[03:43] Filo**
You mean me?
**[03:45] Melromarc**
You can talk, too?
**[03:47] Filo**
Yep.
**[03:50] Melromarc**
I've always dreamed of
talking with a filolial!
**[03:58] Melromarc**
For you. It's dried meat.
**[04:02] Filo**
Thanks!
**[04:12] Raphtalia**
Could she be from the village?
**[04:14] Naofumi**
Nah, she's too well dressed.
**[04:17] Naofumi**
She's probably a noble's
daughter or something.
**[04:19] Melromarc**
What's your name?
**[04:20] Filo**
Filo.
**[04:21] Melromarc**
Filo-chan?
**[04:23] Melromarc**
I'm Melty.
**[04:25] Filo**
Mel-chan, then.
**[04:28] Melromarc**
Sure.
**[04:30] Melromarc**
Oh, I know.
**[04:32] Melromarc**
Want some more?
**[04:33] Filo**
I do!
**[04:34] Raphtalia**
She must love filolials a lot.
**[04:38] Naofumi**
Filo...
**[04:39] Naofumi**
We still have work to do in the village.
**[04:42] Naofumi**
In the meantime, you can
play with that girl.
**[04:45] Filo**
You mean it?
**[04:46] Melromarc**
Really?
**[04:47] Filo**
Yay!
**[04:56] Melromarc**
Wow!
**[04:57] Melromarc**
You can transform, too?
**[05:00] Filo**
Yep.
**[05:01] Melromarc**
That's amazing!
**[05:03] Naofumi**
She took that surprisingly well.
**[05:05] Raphtalia**
They both seem to like their new friend.
**[05:08] Naofumi**
Filo needs to spend time with
other kids, so that's good.
**[05:10] Filo**
Master, can I play some more with Mel-chan?
**[05:15] Naofumi**
Just be back by sunset.
**[05:17] Filo**
'Kay.
**[05:19] Filo**
Let's go.
**[05:20] Naofumi**
Don't go too far, you hear me?
**[05:22] Filo**
'Kay.
**[05:32] Naofumi**
Drink it slowly.
**[05:37] Woman**
Thank you, Our Savior!
**[05:39] Man**
Thank you!
**[05:41] Raphtalia**
Help her too, Naofumi-sama.
**[05:44] Naofumi**
Sure.
**[05:52] Naofumi**
Does it hurt?
**[05:53] Raphtalia**
No, I'm fine.
**[05:56] Naofumi**
Sorry. It's all my fault.
**[05:58] Raphtalia**
You promised not to say that anymore.
**[06:02] Filo**
I'm back, Master.
**[06:04] Raphtalia**
Oh, welcome back.
**[06:06] Filo**
Are you okay, Onee-chan?
**[06:08] ---**
Yup!
**[06:09] Filo**
I made a friend today!
**[06:12] Naofumi**
That Mel girl from earlier?
**[06:14] Filo**
Yep.
**[06:15] Filo**
She said she's traveled to a
lot of places, just like me.
**[06:19] Naofumi**
Huh...
**[06:20] Filo**
And she told me so many
things I didn't know!
**[06:24] Naofumi**
That so?
**[06:25] Filo**
And she says she got separated from her
people when she was playing with filolials.
**[06:32] Naofumi**
Good for her...
**[06:34] Naofumi**
Wait, what? Separated?
**[06:35] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[06:40] Melromarc**
I apologize for showing up so late.
**[06:42] Melromarc**
Um... Could you let me accompany
you for a little while?
**[06:48] Naofumi**
Wait a second. What do you mean?
**[06:50] Melromarc**
I was on my way to the royal capital,
**[06:54] Melromarc**
but, uh, when I saw the filolials...
**[06:59] Melromarc**
I was so engrossed in playing with them,
I got separated from my guards!
**[07:05] Naofumi**
Guards?
**[07:07] Melromarc**
I hear you're leaving for the
capital tomorrow, Savior.
**[07:11] Melromarc**
Could you please take me with you?
**[07:15] Naofumi**
*Did she learn about me from the villagers?*
**[07:18] Melromarc**
I'm aware that I'm making a selfish request.
**[07:21] Melromarc**
But please, I must return to the capital!
**[07:24] Melromarc**
I beg you!
**[07:26] Naofumi**
* If she is a noble's daughter,*
* we might get a reward,*
**[07:29] Naofumi**
* but it might also cause problems if*
* I'm the one who takes her home.*
**[07:34] Filo**
Master, I want you to help her.
**[07:39] Naofumi**
Naofumi-sama...
**[07:40] Naofumi**
We can't turn her down when
she's having trouble.
**[07:43] Naofumi**
I want you to help her as well.
**[07:49] Naofumi**
You'll have to cough up a reward, okay?
**[07:52] Melromarc**
Of course! I shall ask my father!
**[07:56] Filo**
We did it.
**[07:57] Melromarc**
Yes.
**[08:03] Vice Captain**
We truly can't find the words to thank you.
**[08:06] Naofumi**
I'd rather have money than words.
**[08:09] Naofumi**
The next time I'm here,
I'll collect everything I'm owed.
**[08:12] Vice Captain**
C-Certainly!
**[08:22] Naofumi**
Filo...
**[08:23] Filo**
Here we go!
**[09:32] Naofumi**
Did I wake you?
**[09:33] Raphtalia**
No... I can keep watch now.
**[09:37] Naofumi**
It's fine. You can sleep for tonight.
**[09:42] Raphtalia**
They're both so quiet now.
**[09:44] Naofumi**
It's funny after how much noise
they were making earlier.
**[09:47] Raphtalia**
Aren't you cold?
**[09:49] Naofumi**
Nope.
**[09:52] Raphtalia**
We can't have you catching a chill.
**[10:03] Raphtalia**
Huh? Where's Mel-san?
**[10:16] Raphtalia**
You don't think...
**[10:18] Naofumi**
Nah, there's no way.
**[10:21] Raphtalia**
But Filo...
**[10:22] Naofumi**
Come to think of it, she did say
her own kind looked yummy.
**[10:26] Raphtalia**
Yes...
**[10:29] Naofumi**
Raphtalia.
**[10:30] Raphtalia**
Yes?
**[10:32] Naofumi**
We saw nothing, okay?
**[10:34] Raphtalia**
Wh-What are you saying?!
**[10:36] Naofumi**
If we just destroy the evidence...
**[10:38] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[10:39] Naofumi**
What, you want us to go confess that
Filo ate some noble's daughter?!
**[10:46] Filo**
What's wrong, Master?
**[10:49] Raphtalia**
Filo, where's Mel-san?
**[10:53] Filo**
Mel-chan?
**[10:54] Filo**
She's sleeping in my feathers.
**[10:58] Filo**
Wake up, Mel-chan.
**[11:03] Melromarc**
What's the matter?
**[11:04] Naofumi**
What are you doing?
**[11:06] Melromarc**
Filo-chan's feathers are
so soft and comfortable...
**[11:11] Naofumi**
So you took off your clothes?
**[11:13] Melromarc**
Yes.
**[11:14] Raphtalia**
But how did you...
**[11:19] Raphtalia**
It's so nice and warm.
**[11:28] Naofumi**
Do these feathers have
sleep-inducing powers or something?
**[11:57] Melromarc**
Well, then...
**[11:59] Melromarc**
Thank you all so much.
**[12:01] Filo**
Can I take her home?
**[12:04] Naofumi**
Make sure you collect the reward.
**[12:07] Filo**
'Kay. Let's go.
**[12:09] Melromarc**
Right.
**[12:14] Melromarc**
Farewell!
**[12:17] Raphtalia**
We'll miss her.
**[12:19] Naofumi**
I'm sure we can see her again.
**[12:20] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[12:30] Naofumi**
*Why's the shield the only one missing?*
**[12:35] Nun**
I've heard about him.
**[12:39] Nun**
What is he doing here?
**[12:42] Naofumi**
Hey, I want to ask you something.
**[12:45] Nun**
His Holiness the Pope!
**[12:49] Pope**
If it isn't the Shield Hero.
**[12:52] Pope**
Welcome to our church.
**[12:54] Pope**
I saw your magnificent
duel at the royal palace.
**[12:59] Pope**
The way you fought with the odds stacked
against you left a deep impression on me.
**[13:04] Pope**
I could not believe you held your
own despite wielding only a shield.
**[13:08] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[13:13] Naofumi**
Spare me the pleasantries.
**[13:15] Naofumi**
I need the most potent holy water
you have to dispel a curse.
**[13:18] Pope**
Holy water, is it?
**[13:20] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[13:22] Man**
Then please make your offering.
**[13:23] Naofumi**
How much?
**[13:24] Man**
If you want the most potent one,
that'll be one gold coin.
**[13:28] Naofumi**
Fine by me.
**[13:29] Raphtalia**
You mustn't, Naofumi-sama!
**[13:30] Raphtalia**
That's too expensive!
**[13:32] Naofumi**
I don't mind.
**[13:33] Naofumi**
Compared to you, a gold coin means nothing.
**[13:38] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
***SIGN*** Cheap Holy Water (Crude)
**[13:46] Naofumi**
You wanted a gold coin for *that*?
**[13:50] Pope**
Why did you bring a low-quality item?
**[13:53] Nun**
B-But...
**[13:55] Pope**
God is equally compassionate to all.
**[13:57] Pope**
If you did this to satisfy
your personal beliefs,
**[14:02] Pope**
then I hope you repent at once.
**[14:04] Nun**
I... I'm terribly sorry!
**[14:08] Pope**
I apologize for my fellow disciple.
**[14:11] Naofumi**
I won't complain as long
as I get my money's worth.
**[14:14] Pope**
I'm thankful for your understanding.
***SIGN*** Curse-Dispelling Holy Water (Pure)
**[14:19] Naofumi**
I guess that'll do.
**[14:21] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[14:25] Pope**
God shows us all the way.
**[14:27] Pope**
Please be grateful for his guidance.
**[14:30] Pope**
Everything we have, we are
given by God's grace.
**[14:38] Naofumi**
Talk about patronizing.
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[14:44] Man**
Sh-Shield Hero!
**[14:46] Naofumi**
We're running.
**[14:51] Raphtalia**
B-But why are we running?
**[14:54] Naofumi**
What else can we do? He's coming for us.
**[15:00] Man**
Wait!
**[15:01] Naofumi**
What a pest.
**[15:03] Naofumi**
This way.
**[15:08] Naofumi**
You okay?
**[15:09] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[15:10] Naofumi**
He's probably after me, so let's split up.
**[15:14] Raphtalia**
But...
**[15:15] Naofumi**
Go get Filo.
**[15:17] Naofumi**
We'll regroup by the carriage.
**[15:19] Raphtalia**
Understood.
**[15:20] Naofumi**
This way!
**[15:22] Man**
W-Wait...
**[15:29] Naofumi**
Surely... I lost him this time.
**[15:33] Motoyasu**
Naofumi!
**[15:42] Naofumi**
You attacked me in the middle of the street?
**[15:44] Naofumi**
What the hell is wrong with you?
**[15:45] Motoyasu**
Shut up!
**[15:47] Motoyasu**
Where is that slave girl?
**[15:49] Motoyasu**
Free her!
**[15:53] Naofumi**
You're a real pest, too. Raphtalia is—
**[15:56] Motoyasu**
Not Raphtalia-chan.
**[16:00] Motoyasu**
I'm talking about the blonde
girl with wings on her back.
**[16:03] Motoyasu**
I saw her with you, so don't lie to me.
**[16:07] Naofumi**
You mean Filo?
**[16:08] Motoyasu**
Filo-chan?
**[16:10] Motoyasu**
So that's her name.
**[16:12] Motoyasu**
I've never seen a girl as perfect as her.
**[16:16] Motoyasu**
I can't believe there's a girl who's
just like Freon-chan from *Hellworld.*
**[16:22] Motoyasu**
I happen to have a thing for angels.
**[16:24] Naofumi**
I don't care.
**[16:26] Motoyasu**
My heart has been in overdrive
ever since my first look at her.
**[16:31] Motoyasu**
I love other worlds!
**[16:33] Motoyasu**
I love blonde angels!
**[16:35] Naofumi**
Ridiculous.
**[16:40] Naofumi**
Dude, what's up with that?
**[16:44] Motoyasu**
Oh yeah.
**[16:45] Motoyasu**
That fat bird's yours too, isn't it?
**[16:52] Motoyasu**
I'll send you and that chubster to hell!
**[16:55] Motoyasu**
Air Strike Javelin!
**[17:00] Motoyasu**
Chaos Spear!
**[17:03] Man**
Knock it off, you moron!
**[17:05] Man**
Don't fight here!
**[17:07] Man**
What's the big deal? Go for it!
**[17:09] Man**
You wanna say that again?
**[17:14] Man**
Take that!
**[17:15] Motoyasu**
Naofumi!
**[17:17] Man**
Please stop, Spear Hero!
**[17:24] Naofumi**
Aren't you the guy from before?
**[17:27] Man**
Th-This is a public place!
**[17:31] Man**
It's no place for a personal duel!
**[17:34] Myne**
It is now.
**[17:42] Myne**
Surround them.
**[17:45] Vice Captain**
Draw your swords.
**[17:56] Myne**
Ladies and gentlemen,
**[17:58] Myne**
I declare this an official duel between
the Spear Hero and the Shield Hero,
**[18:02] Myne**
with the authority vested
in me by the crown!
**[18:08] Melromarc**
Put your weapons away!
**[18:17] Melromarc**
I will not allow the heroes to
fight among themselves.
**[18:21] Naofumi**
That's...
**[18:22] Myne**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[18:25] Melromarc**
It's been far too long,
**[18:28] Melromarc**
Sister.
**[18:31] Melromarc**
Please don't think your or the hero's
privilege can cover up this mess.
**[18:38] Melromarc**
Spear Hero...
**[18:41] Melromarc**
Look around you.
**[18:43] Melromarc**
Who would call a man that puts
lives at risk a hero?
**[18:50] Melromarc**
Sister, your fun and
games have gone too far.
**[18:54] Myne**
I'm simply doing my job as the hero's aide.
**[18:59] Melromarc**
Is making him fight in a public
place your idea of aid?
**[19:03] Myne**
You dare defy me, your older sister?
**[19:06] Melromarc**
If need be, I will let
Mother know about this.
**[19:13] Melromarc**
I'm terribly sorry, everyone.
**[19:13] Naofumi**
*Melty is Myne's little sister?*
**[19:17] Naofumi**
*Which means she's this country's...*
**[19:20] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[19:22] Raphtalia**
What happened?
**[19:23] Naofumi**
Oh, Motoyasu once again...
**[19:27] Motoyasu**
Filo-chan.
**[19:28] Motoyasu**
That's your name, right?
**[19:31] Filo**
Yep.
**[19:32] Motoyasu**
You poor thing.
**[19:34] Motoyasu**
Naofumi's working you
like a horse, isn't he?
**[19:37] Filo**
I like drawing the carriage.
**[19:40] Motoyasu**
Naofumi, you swine.
**[19:43] Motoyasu**
You're making her pull your
wagon like that fat bird?
**[19:46] Motoyasu**
You'll pay for this!
**[19:48] Filo**
You called me fat.
**[19:52] Filo**
You made fun of me the last time we met, too.
**[19:55] Motoyasu**
I did? When?
**[20:03] Filo**
I hate you, spear guy!
**[20:05] Motoyasu**
Huh? Y-You were that fat bi...
**[20:15] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[20:19] Myne**
Somebody take him to a doctor at once!
**[20:24] Filo**
Filo wins!
**[20:26] Naofumi**
Well done. I'm proud of you, Filo.
**[20:30] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[20:31] Naofumi**
He always puts us through hell.
**[20:33] Naofumi**
He had that coming.
**[20:35] Raphtalia**
Sheesh, what's with that satisfied smirk?
**[20:38] Melromarc**
Our Savior of the Heavenly Fowl...
**[20:43] Melromarc**
No, Shield Hero.
**[20:46] Melromarc**
I need to talk to you.
**[20:51] Erhard**
Kid, could you explain this to me?
**[20:54] Naofumi**
It's a long story.
**[20:55] Naofumi**
Let us discuss things here.
**[20:57] Erhard**
Come on.
**[20:58] Erhard**
You know that's not gonna fly.
**[21:00] Raphtalia**
Sorry. We couldn't think
of a better place nearby.
**[21:04] Erhard**
Yeesh...
**[21:05] Naofumi**
So? Who exactly are you?
**[21:08] Melromarc**
Pardon my late introduction.
**[21:10] Melromarc**
I am first in line to the throne of Melromarc,
**[21:14] Melromarc**
Second Princess Melty Melromarc.
**[21:17] Erhard**
Th-Thr...
**[21:19] Filo**
In line to the throne?
**[21:21] Naofumi**
She'll be the next ruler, basically.
**[21:24] Raphtalia**
You're ahead of your older sister?
**[21:28] Melromarc**
Yes. My sister has always been a
problem child due to her personality.
**[21:33] Naofumi**
I'm not surprised.
**[21:34] Melromarc**
I had no idea you were the Shield Hero.
**[21:38] Melromarc**
But this might be perfect.
**[21:41] Filo**
What's up?
**[21:43] Melromarc**
I...
**[21:46] Naofumi**
Sorry, but we're done here.
**[21:51] Naofumi**
I can't trust anything you say.
**[21:56] Naofumi**
Get lost.

***SIGN*** In the Midst of Turmoil
**[01:34] Naofumi**
I can't trust anything you say.
**[01:38] Naofumi**
Get lost.
**[01:40] Melromarc**
Please wait! You have to hear me out!
**[01:43] Naofumi**
I don't "have to" listen to a word that
comes out of you royals' filthy mouths.
**[01:48] Man**
Melty-sama, His Majesty calls for you.
**[01:51] Man**
Please come with me.
**[01:55] Melromarc**
Very well.
**[01:57] Melromarc**
Bye, Filo-chan.
**[02:00] Filo**
Mel-chan...
**[02:01] Naofumi**
Filo.
**[02:16] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Melty, I need you to do something for me.
**[02:20] (Flashback) Melromarc**
Of course.
**[02:21] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Return to the capital
**[02:23] (Flashback) Mirelia**
and admonish the king for his unjust
treatment of the Shield Hero.
**[02:28] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Ordinarily, I would go myself, but...
**[02:33] (Flashback) Melromarc**
You can count on me, Mother.
**[02:41] Raphtalia**
Couldn't you at least have
given her a chance to speak?
**[02:45] Erhard**
She's right, kid.
**[02:47] Filo**
Hey, Master.
**[02:49] Filo**
Why were you so cold to Mel-chan?
**[02:51] Filo**
Why?
**[02:52] Filo**
Tell me why!
**[02:55] Naofumi**
Listen, Filo.
**[02:57] Naofumi**
You mustn't play with her anymore.
**[03:01] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[03:02] Raphtalia**
Speaking as a father would isn't
going to help Filo understand.
**[03:06] Filo**
Why? Why?
**[03:08] Filo**
Mel-chan hasn't done anything wrong!
**[03:10] Filo**
Tell me why!
**[03:12] Filo**
Hey, Master!
**[03:14] Filo**
Tell me!
**[03:15] Filo**
Why?
**[03:26] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[03:28] Raphtalia**
It's because Mel-san
is royalty, isn't it?
**[03:40] Naofumi**
I can't trust them. Any of them.
**[03:53] Filo**
Master...
**[03:55] Naofumi**
Quit peeking and just come inside.
**[03:58] Filo**
You have visitors.
**[04:01] Man**
Pardon us.
**[04:03] Naofumi**
You again?
**[04:05] Naofumi**
What the hell do you want?
**[04:08] Man**
Uh, well...
**[04:10] Man**
We want to...
**[04:12] Man**
Please let us accompany you,
at least during the Waves!
**[04:17] Man**
We were deeply touched by the
way you fought in the last Wave.
**[04:22] Man**
Everyone here wants to support your efforts.
**[04:26] Naofumi**
Is that why you were looking for me?
**[04:28] Man**
Yes!
**[04:29] Man**
We'd decided to ask you the next time
we saw you here in the capital.
**[04:34] Naofumi**
If you just want to fight the Waves,
**[04:37] Naofumi**
you can do that without following me.
**[04:39] Man**
No, we want to fight with you,
Sir Shield Hero!
**[04:43] Naofumi**
And what's your reason?
**[04:45] Man**
We're all from the village of Lute.
**[04:48] Man**
Back then, you saved our families.
**[04:59] Man**
So we want to help you in any way we can.
**[05:02] Man**
We want to repay you for saving
our fellow villagers' lives.
**[05:10] Naofumi**
Buy this for 150 silver pieces.
**[05:13] Naofumi**
I'll consider your offer if
you can cough up the money.
**[05:17] Naofumi**
What's the matter?
**[05:18] Naofumi**
You can gain my trust by buying this off me.
**[05:21] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[05:23] Man**
One hundred and fifty silver pieces, huh?
**[05:25] Man**
What now?
**[05:27] Man**
We'll have to arrange it somehow.
**[05:29] Man**
We understand.
**[05:30] Man**
We'll go gather the money right away.
**[05:34] Raphtalia**
I can't believe you're pressuring them to
buy a leftover accessory for that much.
**[05:38] Erhard**
You never change, kid.
**[05:41] Filo**
Meanie!
**[05:52] Naofumi**
Fix these up, too.
**[05:54] Erhard**
The made-to-order stuff, huh?
**[05:56] Erhard**
Even if I throw in some freebie materials,
it'll cost you around this much.
**[06:03] Naofumi**
Hey, boss.
**[06:05] Naofumi**
I see an asterisk next to
their level indicators now.
**[06:08] Naofumi**
Know anything about it?
**[06:09] Erhard**
Oh, you guys are ready for class upgrades?
**[06:13] Naofumi**
Class upgrades?
**[06:14] Erhard**
It lets you increase your level cap.
**[06:16] Erhard**
Only those recognized by the
court even have the option,
**[06:19] Erhard**
but I guess you are a hero, after all.
**[06:22] Erhard**
You choose what path to take
when you upgrade your class.
**[06:25] Erhard**
I had a lot of trouble deciding.
***SIGN*** Class Upgrade
***SIGN*** Class Upgrade
**[06:32] Naofumi**
You can do it at the dragon hourglass, huh?
**[06:35] Naofumi**
What kind of upgrade do you want, Raphtalia?
**[06:38] Raphtalia**
I'm fine with whatever you decide.
**[06:41] Naofumi**
That won't do.
**[06:42] Naofumi**
Decide your future path yourself.
**[06:46] Naofumi**
After the Waves are over,
I'll go back to my world.
**[06:50] Naofumi**
So pick something that'll help
you survive without me.
**[06:55] Raphtalia**
You're going back home?
**[06:59] Naofumi**
We'll take a skewer, pops.
**[07:02] Man**
Sure.
**[07:03] Filo**
Are you sure, Master?
**[07:05] Filo**
Thank you!
**[07:06] Man**
Here ya go, miss.
**[07:08] Filo**
This looks yummy!
**[07:10] Naofumi**
Fifteen gold pieces?!
**[07:12] Nun**
A class upgrade costs fifteen
gold pieces per person.
**[07:17] Raphtalia**
That's too much.
**[07:19] Naofumi**
* I could get thousands*
* of ten rolls for that much!*
**[07:23] Naofumi**
Fine.
**[07:24] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, you go ahead and upgrade first.
**[07:28] Filo**
Huh? What about me?
**[07:30] Naofumi**
You can do it the next
time we come. Be patient.
**[07:34] Naofumi**
Fifteen gold pieces, right?
**[07:39] Nun**
Our apologies. We seem
to have made a mistake.
**[07:42] Nun**
We are forbidden from providing
upgrades to the Shield Hero's party.
**[07:46] Raphtalia**
But they just said...
**[07:50] Nun**
It's a direct order from His Majesty.
**[08:05] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[08:11] Filo**
Are you going to sell me?
**[08:13] Naofumi**
Never. Don't worry.
**[08:19] Slave Trader**
If it isn't Sir Hero!
**[08:22] Slave Trader**
What brings you here today?
**[08:24] Naofumi**
Looks like your business is thriving.
**[08:26] Slave Trader**
It's all thanks to you.
**[08:30] Slave Trader**
Your traveling trade was very
profitable for me as well.
**[08:35] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[08:36] Slave Trader**
First and foremost, your filolial queen
has gained quite the reputation.
**[08:40] Slave Trader**
Nobles all across Melromarc
**[08:43] Slave Trader**
contacted me to ask how they could
procure one for themselves.
**[08:47] Slave Trader**
Secondly, you.
**[08:50] Slave Trader**
You've helped my business gain a reputation
for providing high-quality slaves.
**[08:54] Slave Trader**
The money hasn't stopped rolling in since!
**[08:58] Slave Trader**
Anyway, how may I help you today?
Would you like another slave?
**[09:03] Slave Trader**
Or do you need assistance
with a filolial experiment?
**[09:06] Naofumi**
Can you arrange class upgrades for us?
**[09:10] Slave Trader**
Class upgrades, is it?
**[09:13] Naofumi**
They're refusing to let
us do it in this country.
**[09:16] Naofumi**
It's a real pain.
**[09:17] Naofumi**
I remember you having a slave
that was over level 40.
**[09:24] Slave Trader**
I'm truly sorry to say this,
but we don't provide that service.
**[09:28] Naofumi**
I see.
**[09:29] Slave Trader**
However, worry not.
**[09:31] Slave Trader**
You can simply get it done at another
country's dragon hourglass.
**[09:37] Naofumi**
There are others?
**[09:38] Slave Trader**
Indeed. Ordinarily, I would
charge for this information,
**[09:43] Slave Trader**
but since you're the one asking,
I'll tell you for free.
**[09:49] Slave Trader**
If we're talking favorable countries
for you to upgrade classes,
**[09:54] Slave Trader**
there's Mercenary Nation Zeltoble,
**[09:57] Slave Trader**
Demi-Human Country Siltvelt,
**[09:59] Slave Trader**
and Shieldfreeden.
**[10:03] Slave Trader**
I recommend Shieldfreeden.
**[10:05] Slave Trader**
For a country of demi-humans,
it's very welcoming to humans.
**[10:10] Naofumi**
How long will it take to get there?
**[10:13] Slave Trader**
By ship, two weeks.
**[10:14] Slave Trader**
And by wagon, a month.
**[10:17] Raphtalia**
That's far.
**[10:19] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[10:20] Naofumi**
We won't get there before the Wave.
**[10:22] Slave Trader**
Then how about making do this time by
equipping your filolial queen with a weapon?
**[10:29] Filo**
A weapon for me?
**[10:32] Slave Trader**
How do you like these wyvern talons?
**[10:35] Filo**
What's a wyvern?
**[10:37] Naofumi**
How much are they?
**[10:38] Slave Trader**
In light of your continued patronage,
**[10:42] Slave Trader**
I'll offer you a special
price of five gold pieces.
**[10:45] Naofumi**
Four. And throw in reins.
**[10:49] Slave Trader**
We have a deal!
**[10:50] Slave Trader**
How you've grown into the
kind of man I just love!
**[10:55] Slave Trader**
You make my spine tingle!
**[10:57] Naofumi**
What's with him?
**[10:59] Filo**
This feels kinda weird.
**[11:01] Raphtalia**
Getting used to them might take a while.
**[11:03] Naofumi**
Oh yeah, Slave Merchant.
**[11:05] Naofumi**
Can we test these talons out somewhere?
**[11:08] Slave Trader**
Well, all the monsters
here are merchandise.
**[11:14] Slave Trader**
Come to think of it,
**[11:16] Slave Trader**
I have just the job request!
**[11:27] Filo**
Ew...
**[11:29] Raphtalia**
This stench is too much.
**[11:31] Naofumi**
Damn that slave merchant.
**[11:36] Raphtalia**
Why would there be monsters
in the capital's sewers?
**[11:40] Naofumi**
Someone must've dumped them here
after they grew too hard to control.
**[11:49] Filo**
We're fighting this thing?
**[11:51] Naofumi**
Yeah, looks like it.
**[11:57] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[12:09] Filo**
You're done!
**[12:16] Raphtalia**
This sword is really sharp!
**[12:18] Filo**
These talons are awesome, too.
**[12:20] Naofumi**
Hey...
**[12:38] Naofumi**
Are you okay?
**[12:40] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[12:41] Raphtalia**
The parts you bandage heal really fast.
**[12:47] Naofumi**
Ten days until the Wave, huh?
**[12:49] Naofumi**
I hope you've recovered by then.
**[12:51] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[12:53] Naofumi**
As long as we don't know where
the next Wave will arrive,
**[12:56] Naofumi**
we have to prepare for
anything and everything.
**[12:59] Naofumi**
And given the possibility of
casualties in a town or village,
**[13:02] Naofumi**
we should stock up on a ton of medicine.
**[13:06] Naofumi**
And we should scout out possible
combat zones and strategize...
**[13:12] Naofumi**
Does it hurt?
**[13:14] Raphtalia**
Once all the Waves are repelled,
**[13:17] Raphtalia**
you'll go back to your own world, won't you?
**[13:24] Raphtalia**
May I...
**[13:26] Raphtalia**
May I go with you?
**[13:30] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I...
**[13:33] Filo**
Hey!
**[13:35] Filo**
Onee-chan's being lovey-dovey with Master.
**[13:39] Filo**
No fair!
**[13:40] Raphtalia**
I was not!
**[13:42] Filo**
You were!
**[13:43] Filo**
You were trying to kiss him!
**[13:44] Raphtalia**
I was not!
**[13:45] Filo**
You were! I saw you!
**[13:47] Naofumi**
God, shut up!
**[13:49] Naofumi**
We have an early start tomorrow! Go to bed!
**[14:34] Naofumi**
You've got it rough, huh?
**[14:38] Man**
I'm sorry.
**[14:46] Filo**
What a sad-looking town.
**[14:48] Naofumi**
The lord here must be a scumbag.
**[14:50] Naofumi**
That toll told the whole story.
**[14:53] Raphtalia**
If this town was attacked in the Wave...
**[15:09] Man**
Please! Trade us food!
**[15:12] Naofumi**
I'd honestly prefer money.
**[15:14] Man**
We don't have any.
**[15:15] Man**
We have nothing else left.
**[15:18] Naofumi**
Are you people not from Melromarc?
**[15:21] Man**
N-No. We're refugees from the north.
**[15:25] Man**
Some adventurer apparently sent from here
**[15:28] Man**
put together a resistance force
and started a revolution.
**[15:31] Man**
And now we're in this mess.
**[15:32] Naofumi**
What was this adventurer like?
**[15:35] Man**
We don't really know,
but the rumors say he used a bow.
**[15:38] Naofumi**
A bow?
**[15:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[15:43] Naofumi**
Set up an emergency kitchen.
**[15:44] Raphtalia**
Right away.
**[16:12] Naofumi**
The Wave hits in 27 hours.
**[16:15] Filo**
I'm hungry.
**[16:17] Naofumi**
Okay, let's grab some lunch.
**[16:27] Raphtalia**
Aren't they...
**[16:28] Naofumi**
Ren and Itsuki?
**[16:31] Itsuki**
I overthrew a despot in
the country to the north.
**[16:36] Itsuki**
But when I went to the Guild,
**[16:37] Itsuki**
they'd already paid the
reward out to someone else.
**[16:40] Ren**
Same here. Somebody stole
a job request from me.
**[16:44] Itsuki**
Looks like someone's going
around pretending to be us.
**[16:45] Naofumi**
We'll have the daily special,
and she'll have a large kids' meal.
**[16:49] Man**
Got it.
**[16:49] Woman**
Itsuki-sama...
**[16:51] Woman**
We've received a Guild request to
overthrow a town lord to the north.
**[16:54] Woman**
What will we do?
**[16:56] Itsuki**
From the Guild?
**[16:58] Woman**
Yes.
**[16:59] Woman**
From looking into it,
**[17:00] Woman**
it seems that lord is heavily taxing
citizens beyond the court's set limits,
**[17:04] Woman**
using that revenue to hire mercenaries,
and suppressing dissent.
**[17:10] Naofumi**
*Heavy taxes?*
**[17:11] Naofumi**
*Do they mean that town from earlier?*
**[17:12] Man**
Here's your food.
**[17:13] Filo**
That looks yummy!
**[17:16] Filo**
Time to dig in!
**[17:18] Raphtalia**
Chew before you swallow, now.
**[17:19] Itsuki**
Is that so?
**[17:21] Itsuki**
Someone needs to be taught that with
great power comes great responsibility.
**[17:26] Filo**
Master, that's gross!
**[17:29] Naofumi**
Sorry.
**[17:30] Itsuki**
What's so funny?
**[17:34] Naofumi**
Oh, I just didn't know you'd
been bitten by a spider.
**[17:37] Itsuki**
Bitten by a spider?
**[17:38] Naofumi**
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
**[17:40] Itsuki**
It's you, isn't it?
**[17:42] Itsuki**
You're the one impersonating us,
then stealing our jobs and rewards.
**[17:46] Naofumi**
Why would you think it's me?
**[17:48] Itsuki**
Because who else would—
**[17:50] Naofumi**
Ever considered that it may be because
you're trying to be a cool, secret vigilante?
**[17:56] Itsuki**
What do you mean?
**[18:01] Naofumi**
Were you the "adventurer" who helped
the resistance in the north?
**[18:05] Itsuki**
Yes.
**[18:07] Naofumi**
Do you know what happened to that
country after the king was ousted?
**[18:17] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Is this everyone from your village?
**[18:18] (Flashback) Man**
Yes.
**[18:20] (Flashback) Man**
Everyone else died.
**[18:22] (Flashback) Man**
After the revolution,
our lives did get a lot better.
**[18:27] (Flashback) Man**
But not for long.
**[18:29] (Flashback) Man**
Then the resistance started
hiking up the taxes.
**[18:33] (Flashback) Naofumi**
But why?
**[18:35] (Flashback) Man**
I don't know too much about it,
**[18:37] (Flashback) Man**
but apparently it takes a lot
of money to run a country.
**[18:40] (Flashback) Man**
Looking back, maybe the previous
king was thinking the same thing.
**[18:46] Naofumi**
All you did was switch up who
was running the place.
**[18:49] Naofumi**
It didn't solve anything.
**[18:51] Itsuki**
Don't change the subject!
**[18:54] Itsuki**
We're talking about impersonating—
**[18:56] Ren**
How do you explain my case?
**[18:58] Naofumi**
Was it about some disease?
**[19:00] Ren**
If you know, that makes things easier.
**[19:02] Ren**
Why'd you steal that job?
**[19:04] Naofumi**
Did you know that the corpse of that
dragon you killed caused an epidemic?
**[19:10] Naofumi**
I got rid of that corpse.
**[19:13] Naofumi**
That's why the job request was canceled.
**[19:15] Ren**
No way...
**[19:17] Naofumi**
If you think I'm lying, go to that
eastern village and see for yourself.
**[19:20] Naofumi**
Do you have any idea how many
people died because of you two?!
**[19:25] Ren**
B-Because of me?
**[19:29] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[19:34] Ren**
I see. I'm sorry.
**[19:37] Itsuki**
You believe him?
**[19:38] Ren**
He has no reason to lie.
**[19:41] Naofumi**
Don't cause any more problems.
**[19:48] Itsuki**
I don't believe you, okay?
**[19:57] Erhard**
I embedded that dragon zombie core
in your chest plate
**[20:00] Erhard**
and also gave it an auto-repair function.
It's one of my best works.
**[20:04] Erhard**
Like it?
**[20:04] Naofumi**
Boss...
**[20:06] Naofumi**
Just how badly do you want to
make me look like a bandit chief?
**[20:09] Filo**
You look cool, Master!
**[20:11] Raphtalia**
That suits you very well!
**[20:14] Soldier**
Pardon us.
**[20:15] Soldier**
Oh, thank goodness you're here.
**[20:18] Soldier**
We ran around and somehow
scraped up 150 silver pieces.
**[20:29] Naofumi**
Use that money to get
yourselves better equipment.
**[20:33] Soldier**
You mean you'll accept us?
**[20:36] Naofumi**
I can't have you guys dropping like flies.
**[20:39] Soldier**
Thank you so much!
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[20:43] Naofumi**
The moment you try to exploit or set me up,
**[20:46] Naofumi**
you'll have hell to pay.
**[20:49] Soldier**
Of course!
**[20:49] All**
Thanks for us having us!
**[20:52] Filo**
We have lots more friends now!
**[20:54] Naofumi**
There are less than 24 hours until the Wave.
**[20:57] Naofumi**
Let's have a strategy meeting.
**[20:59] All**
Yes, sir!
**[20:59] Filo**
'Kay!
**[20:59] Erhard**
Not again, kid!
**[21:02] Erhard**
My shop isn't your meeting room!
**[21:08] Woman**
Melty-sama appears to have made contact
with the Shield Hero's party.
**[21:13] Mirelia**
If the Shield Hero is the
kind of man I hear he is,
**[21:16] Mirelia**
reconciliation will take quite some time.
**[21:19] Mirelia**
I feel bad for putting Melty through this,
**[21:22] Mirelia**
but this, too, is her duty
as the future ruler.
**[21:25] Woman**
Your Majesty?
**[21:27] Mirelia**
Continue to keep an eye on them.
**[21:29] Woman**
As you wish.
**[21:38] Mirelia**
The next Wave is coming.
**[21:41] Mirelia**
Will the heroes be able to overcome it?

**[00:00] Filo**
You have visitors.
**[00:03] Man**
Pardon us.
**[00:04] Naofumi**
What the hell do you want?
**[00:06] Man**
Please let us accompany you,
at least during the Waves!
**[00:10] Naofumi**
Can you arrange for class upgrades?
**[00:12] Slave Trader**
You can simply get it done at another
country's dragon hourglass.
**[00:17] Naofumi**
We won't get there before the Wave.
**[00:21] Raphtalia**
Once all the Waves are repelled,
**[00:24] Raphtalia**
you'll go back to your own world, won't you?
**[00:32] Mirelia**
The next Wave is coming.
**[00:33] Mirelia**
Will the heroes be able to overcome it?
**[00:47] Erhard**
It's almost time.
**[00:49] Erhard**
Along with the potions, I also packed
some leftover weapons I had.
**[00:54] Erhard**
They'll make for decent backups.
**[00:56] Raphtalia**
Thank you so much.
**[00:58] Erhard**
Still, I'm impressed you managed
to stock up on so much medicine.
**[01:02] Naofumi**
Even this may not be enough.
**[01:05] Naofumi**
There's no telling what'll
happen during the Wave.
**[01:08] Erhard**
If you're being that careful,
you'll be fine this time, too.
**[01:12] Naofumi**
Oh, right. Hold out your hand, Raphtalia.
**[01:15] Raphtalia**
Huh?
**[01:18] Raphtalia**
What is this?
**[01:22] Naofumi**
It's imbued with a spell to
boost your mana generation.
**[01:25] Erhard**
Not much of a present for a lady.
**[01:27] Raphtalia**
Boost my mana generation?
**[01:29] Raphtalia**
I'm so happy!
**[01:30] Raphtalia**
Thank you!
**[01:35] Filo**
Only she gets one? No fair!
**[01:38] Naofumi**
You get this.
**[01:45] Naofumi**
It'll increase your agility.
**[01:48] Raphtalia**
It's very cute, Filo.
**[01:50] Filo**
What? Really?
**[01:52] Filo**
Yay! Thank you, Master!
**[01:59] Naofumi**
And a hairpin won't fall
off when you transform.
**[02:02] Erhard**
What brought this accessory-making spree on?
**[02:08] Naofumi**
It's just to boost their stats.
**[02:11] Erhard**
Really, now?
**[02:12] Ake Squadman**
The time has come.
***SIGN*** Register the Ake Squad

**[02:18] Naofumi**
Now you'll be teleported along with me.
**[02:21] Ake Squadman**
Right!
**[02:24] Naofumi**
It's time.
**[02:32] Raphtalia**
We're off.
**[02:34] Filo**
Be right back!
**[02:35] Erhard**
Yeah! I'll be waiting in the shop!
**[02:38] Erhard**
Y'all better come back alive!
**[02:39] Naofumi**
Yeah.

**[04:38] Soldier B**
The other villagers have already evacuated!
**[04:40] Soldier B**
Get out of here now!
**[04:42] Vice Captain**
G-Got it!
**[04:45] Soldier B**
That should do it for the evacuation.
**[04:48] Soldier A**
That took a while.
**[04:51] Soldier A**
We should get back and...
**[04:58] Naofumi**
Go!
**[05:00] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[05:06] Soldier A**
So strong...
**[05:08] Soldier A**
They took down a lizardman in a flash.
**[05:10] Naofumi**
Stay alert! There are more monsters around!
**[05:13] Both**
Right.
**[05:23] Raphtalia**
She killed them in one hit?
**[05:26] Grandma**
Thank you very much for your
help before, Shield Hero.
**[05:31] Raphtalia**
You know her?
**[05:38] Naofumi**
Are you that same old lady?
**[05:42] Grandma**
Thanks to you, I'm all better now.
**[05:46] Grandma**
Here.
**[05:47] Grandma**
As you can see.
**[05:49] Filo**
Wow!
**[05:51] Grandma**
Small fry like these are no match for me.
**[05:55] Grandma**
I swear on these fists, which fought many a
formidable foe back when I was an adventurer.
**[06:01] Naofumi**
*What the hell did I feed her?*
**[06:04] Ake Squadman**
Sir Hero!
**[06:06] Ake Squadman**
We've finished evacuating the villagers!
**[06:08] Naofumi**
Great.
**[06:09] Naofumi**
Now focus on keeping the enemy out.
**[06:16] Naofumi**
*It's been three whole hours.*
**[06:19] Naofumi**
*What are those guys doing?*
**[06:21] Ake Squadman**
Please go, Sir Hero.
**[06:25] Ake Squadman**
Putting an end to the Wave as soon as
possible will also help the village.
**[06:30] Naofumi**
But...
**[06:32] Grandma**
Leave the village to ol' Gran
here and these whippersnappers.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
Got it.
**[06:37] Naofumi**
Just don't push your luck, Gran.
**[06:40] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo, we're going.
**[06:43] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[06:43] Filo**
'Kay!
**[06:59] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[07:03] Filo**
What a big ship!
**[07:08] Itsuki**
Don't let up!
**[07:19] Naofumi**
Where are the others?
**[07:23] Itsuki**
They're on the ship.
**[07:26] Itsuki**
I told them attacking that statue and
spawning the Soul Eater came first, but nope...
**[07:30] Itsuki**
How irresponsible can they be?
**[08:17] Ren**
What are you doing, Motoyasu?
**[08:19] Ren**
We need to take out the skeleton first!
**[08:21] Motoyasu**
No, the kraken comes first!
**[08:23] Motoyasu**
The Soul Eater won't spawn otherwise!
**[08:25] Myne**
What are you saying?
**[08:27] Man**
You morons...
**[08:28] Myne**
Say what?
**[08:28] Naofumi**
This is no time to be bickering!
**[08:33] Ren**
Naofumi...
**[08:35] Motoyasu**
Go defend some village or something.
**[08:37] Myne**
Indeed.
**[08:38] Myne**
An incompetent hero who can't fight should...
**[08:40] Naofumi**
Who's really incompetent here?
**[08:42] Naofumi**
As long as you don't put an end to
the Wave, the monsters will keep coming.
**[08:47] Naofumi**
I can't defend a village like that.
**[08:48] Naofumi**
But...
**[08:52] Naofumi**
Instead of working together, you three
are doing whatever you want!
**[08:59] Naofumi**
If we lose, all the villagers
will die, and so will you!
**[09:02] Naofumi**
Quit thinking this is some game already!
**[09:06] Ren**
I know, I know!
**[09:08] Ren**
That's why I'm hitting the skeleton
to spawn the Soul Eater!
**[09:11] Motoyasu**
Huh?
**[09:11] Motoyasu**
You killed it earlier, but nothing spawned.
**[09:15] Ren**
We need to kill it several times!
**[09:17] Motoyasu**
I don't know about that.
**[09:17] Naofumi**
These morons...
**[09:20] Naofumi**
* It doesn't have any special*
* parameters or resistances.*
**[09:24] Naofumi**
* Is there a way to spawn a Soul Eater*
* other than killing that monster?*
**[09:33] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Cast light magic!
**[09:35] Raphtalia**
Light? Really?
**[09:37] Naofumi**
Now!
**[09:38] Raphtalia**
O-Okay!
**[09:40] Raphtalia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[09:43] Raphtalia**
Decipher the laws of nature and
illuminate my surroundings.
**[09:49] Raphtalia**
Fast Light!
**[09:55] Naofumi**
Attack the shadow by its feet!
**[10:12] Motoyasu**
So many of them were hiding?
**[10:14] Itsuki**
Look!
**[10:17] Itsuki**
Soul Eaters are spawning
from all over the ship.
***SIGN*** Dimensional Soul Eater

It's sturdier than I expected.
**[10:55] Motoyasu**
Are our attacks even affecting it?
**[10:58] Naofumi**
* We'll get nowhere with only*
* lightning-element attacks.*
**[11:01] Naofumi**
Filo, cast wind magic.
**[11:03] Filo**
'Kay!
**[11:05] Filo**
Fast Tornado!
**[11:15] Ren**
Hurry! Or else it'll use a powerful skill!
**[11:19] Motoyasu**
Got it!
**[11:24] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo...
**[11:25] Naofumi**
Get behind me.
**[11:48] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[11:49] Filo**
'Kay.
**[11:51] Filo**
High Quick!
**[11:58] Filo**
Can't touch me!
**[12:22] Naofumi**
*This strategy will kill it eventually.*
**[12:25] Naofumi**
*But...*
**[12:29] Naofumi**
* If we take too long,*
* the village will be in danger!*
**[12:40] Filo**
He's not taking damage!
**[12:42] Raphtalia**
Don't complain. We have to kill it.
**[12:45] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[12:46] Raphtalia**
Yes?
**[12:48] Naofumi**
I'm going to use the Rage Shield.
**[12:50] Naofumi**
Forgive me.
**[12:59] Raphtalia**
Didn't I tell you?
**[13:01] Raphtalia**
I am your sword.
**[13:04] Raphtalia**
I will follow you through
fire and brimstone.
**[13:12] Filo**
Take care of Raphtalia
if anything goes wrong.
**[13:17] Raphtalia**
I'll remain by your side until the very end.
**[13:26] Naofumi**
Come forth, Rage Shield!
**[13:43] Zombie Dragon**
*...will pay.*
**[13:53] Zombie Dragon**
*You will pay!*
**[14:07] Naofumi**
What was that?
**[14:08] Zombie Dragon**
* For humiliating me by defeating*
* me as a puny human...*
**[14:16] Zombie Dragon**
* And for humiliating me by taking my*
* bones and turning me into a tool...*
**[14:22] Naofumi**
Is that the dragon zombie
I absorbed back then?
**[14:26] Zombie Dragon**
*You will pay...*
**[14:28] Zombie Dragon**
*You will pay!*
***SIGN*** Growth affected by Zombie Dragon Shield

*It's not the flame from before.*

*It's his hatred!*
**[15:09] Itsuki**
What happened to him?
**[15:10] Motoyasu**
H-Hey!
**[15:15] Raphtalia**
Filo's being affected by
the dragon zombie, too?
**[15:36] Myne**
He's basically a wild beast.
**[15:38] Myne**
That isn't how a hero is supposed to fight.
**[15:42] Raphtalia**
What the hell are you people
standing around for?
**[15:45] Myne**
H-How dare you, demi-human!
**[15:47] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama is fighting in our place!
**[15:53] Raphtalia**
That's right.
**[15:55] Raphtalia**
If only I weren't so useless...
**[15:58] Raphtalia**
If only I were stronger...
**[16:02] Raphtalia**
I wouldn't have to put him through this!
**[16:07] Raphtalia**
You have the power, so why won't you fight?
**[16:11] Raphtalia**
How can you call yourselves the
world's heroes like that?!
**[16:19] Ren**
Crimson Sword!
**[16:23] Itsuki**
Thunder Shot!
**[16:31] Itsuki**
Motoyasu-san...
**[16:33] Motoyasu**
Why should I have to help that bastard?!
**[16:36] Itsuki**
I hear you, but we have no
other choice right now.
**[16:40] Motoyasu**
Damn it all!
**[16:41] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama? You mustn't help the Shield!
**[16:45] Ren**
Can *you* kill that thing, then?
**[17:03] Motoyasu**
How do you like that?
**[17:04] Ren**
Very cool, but you're not
doing much damage.
**[17:15] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[17:26] Zombie Dragon**
*You will pay.*
**[17:28] Naofumi**
Shut up.
**[17:30] Naofumi**
Settle down!
**[17:34] Zombie Dragon**
*I will make you pay!*
**[17:45] Raphtalia**
I believe in you.
**[17:55] Naofumi**
*Didn't I swear to protect Raphtalia, Filo,*
**[17:59] Naofumi**
*and all the villagers?*

Not so fast!

**[18:43] Naofumi**
Within this virgin of cold ore, who shall
swallow even your screams with her embrace,
**[18:47] Naofumi**
suffer in anguish as your entire
body is stabbed and skewered!
**[18:52] Naofumi**
Iron Maiden!
**[19:39] Naofumi**
It's over.
**[19:47] Filo**
Huh?
**[19:49] Filo**
What happened?
**[19:53] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama! Filo!
**[19:57] Raphtalia**
Are you all right?
**[19:59] Naofumi**
Yeah, as you can see.
**[20:06] Itsuki**
Is that what the Shield is capable of?
**[20:10] Ren**
It's basically a cheat.
**[20:13] Motoyasu**
Things will be different next time!
**[20:16] Filo**
Hey...
**[20:18] Filo**
Sore loser, much?
**[20:19] Motoyasu**
Th-That's not it, Filo-chan.
**[20:22] Motoyasu**
I'm, uh, just saying I could've one-shotted
that thing if I'd gotten serious.
**[20:27] Filo**
Really?
**[20:29] Motoyasu**
R-Really!
**[20:30] Motoyasu**
Motoyasu never lies.
**[20:32] Filo**
Then why didn't you?
**[20:35] Naofumi**
What's there?
**[20:42] Itsuki**
Another one?
**[20:43] Ren**
This wasn't in the game!
**[20:56] Glass**
How very disappointing.
**[21:11] Glass**
You have trouble with weaklings like these?
**[21:14] Glass**
Are you really the heroes who hold
the world's fate in their hands?
**[21:23] Glass**
It seems only one man here is
worthy of even being called a hero.
**[21:26] Glass**
What is your name?
**[21:29] Naofumi**
You're supposed to introduce yourself
before asking for someone's name.
**[21:32] Glass**
Oh, pardon me.
**[21:34] Glass**
My name is Glass.
**[21:36] Glass**
Feel free to consider me your enemy, hero.
**[21:42] Itsuki**
Enemy?
**[21:44] Naofumi**
I'm Naofumi.

Then, shall we begin

Raphtalia, take care of Filo.
**[06:06] Glass**
Your flame is too cold to burn me.
**[06:14] Glass**
Rupture-Stance Rondo:
Tortoise Shell Cracker.
**[06:23] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[06:25] Glass**
Even that isn't enough to bring you down?
**[06:28] Glass**
If nothing else, I see your defense
lives up to your title of hero.
**[06:31] Naofumi**
Aw, you flatter me.
**[06:34] Glass**
However, your dark flame only activates
with close-quarter attacks.
**[06:39] Glass**
Not when you attack from range.
**[06:42] Glass**
You have an ace up your sleeve, do you not?
**[06:45] Glass**
Don't hold it back. Show it to me.
**[06:48] Naofumi**
Very well, if you insist.
**[06:51] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[06:55] Naofumi**
Change Shield!
**[06:57] Naofumi**
Iron Maiden!
**[07:16] Glass**
It's even less potent than
I thought it would be.
**[07:21] Naofumi**
Wha...
**[07:22] Glass**
Such a disappointment.
**[07:25] Naofumi**
*Is there... Is there nothing we can do?*
**[07:32] Glass**
The time limit?
**[07:34] Glass**
I didn't expect to hit it so soon.
**[07:37] Naofumi**
When I give the sign, use light magic.
**[07:43] Glass**
The battle of the Wave
will end in our victory.
**[07:47] Glass**
I have nothing against you,
but it is what it is.
**[07:50] Naofumi**
Now!
**[07:51] Raphtalia**
Fast Light!
**[07:56] Naofumi**
Fast Heal!
**[07:59] Naofumi**
Run for it!
**[08:01] Glass**
Of all the futile...
**[08:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama! She's attacking!
**[08:26] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[08:49] Glass**
So I can't defeat him at this range.
**[08:52] Glass**
I shall leave this time,
**[08:54] Glass**
but you won't survive our next
encounter unless you get stronger.
**[08:59] Glass**
Remember that we shall be the ones
to emerge triumphant from the Waves.
**[09:20] Filo**
Is it over?
**[09:29] Raphtalia**
Did we manage to get away somehow?
**[09:48] Naofumi**
*That countdown showed up out of nowhere.*
**[09:51] Naofumi**
* It must've been signaling*
* the end of the Wave.*
**[09:55] Naofumi**
*But what are the Waves, anyway?*
**[09:58] Naofumi**
* Weren't they supposed to be*
* world-ending calamities?*
**[10:01] Naofumi**
* That Glass woman was fixated*
* on defeating me, a hero.*
**[10:06] (Flashback) Glass**
...the true battle of the Wave?
**[10:14] Naofumi**
*All these questions, and no answers.*
**[10:17] Naofumi**
* But one thing's for sure: we must grow*
* much stronger by the next Wave.*
**[10:22] Naofumi**
*If we don't, we'll die for sure.*
**[10:25] Naofumi**
* Feeding my shield monster fragments*
* will let me obtain new skills,*
***SIGN*** Soul Eater Shield
**[10:30] Naofumi**
* but any concrete improvement will require*
* Raphtalia and Filo to get class upgrades.*
**[10:36] Ake Squadman**
U-Um, Sir Hero...
**[10:41] Royal Knight**
You are to report to the castle at once.
**[10:45] Naofumi**
What?
**[10:48] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[10:52] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Change Shield!
**[10:59] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Iron Maiden!
**[11:19] Aultcray**
I saw what happened through
the crystal ball.
**[11:22] Aultcray**
You did well to quell the Wave,
**[11:25] Aultcray**
as much as I hate to admit it.
**[11:27] Naofumi**
*Is that really how you thank someone?*
**[11:31] (Flashback) Ake Squadman**
Please, Sir Hero!
**[11:33] (Flashback) Ake Squadman**
I know how you feel,
**[11:35] (Flashback) Ake Squadman**
but please go with the Captain!
**[11:41] Aultcray**
I have a question for you.
**[11:43] Aultcray**
How did you obtain such strength?
**[11:47] Aultcray**
You possess power unbecoming
of the Shield Hero.
**[11:51] Aultcray**
It is your duty to reveal
the secret behind it.
**[11:55] Aultcray**
Now, spit it out.
And don't you dare lie to me.
**[12:02] Naofumi**
If you want to know so badly,
kneel before me.
**[12:07] Naofumi**
In my world, one grovels before the
person they're asking for something.
**[12:13] Naofumi**
And they say, "I beg you.
Please enlighten my ignorant self."
**[12:19] Aultcray**
You cur!
**[12:20] Naofumi**
As I am now, I could kill you here and
walk out the front door if I wanted.
**[12:26] Aultcray**
You're bluffing.
**[12:30] Naofumi**
Do any of you here want to fight me,
the man who killed the Wave's boss monster?
**[12:43] Naofumi**
I'm willing to cooperate with you until
the Waves die down and I can go home.
**[12:49] Naofumi**
So don't ever bother me again.
**[12:53] Aultcray**
I'm the king! You cannot
disrespect me this way, Shield!
**[12:59] Aultcray**
I know.
**[13:01] Aultcray**
I'll have your wretched slaves
pay for your crimes, and...
**[13:09] Naofumi**
Use all the dirty,
underhanded tricks you want.
**[13:13] Naofumi**
I will protect my party through it all.
**[13:16] Naofumi**
You'll never take anything from me again.
**[13:19] Naofumi**
I dare you to lay a finger on them.
**[13:22] Naofumi**
I'll chase you to the ends of the earth
and make you regret ever being born.
**[13:33] Aultcray**
Accursed Shield!
**[13:46] Shadow**
You did splendidly well
this time, I daresay.
**[13:51] Shadow**
Your efforts have become impossible
for anyone to ignore...
**[13:58] Shadow**
Including powers who don't take too
kindly to you, Sir Shield Hero.
**[14:04] Shadow**
Virtuous on the surface,
conniving and conspiring behind the scenes...
**[14:10] Shadow**
You should exercise the utmost
caution going forward,
**[14:14] Shadow**
I daresay.
**[14:21] Naofumi**
"Daresay"?
**[14:25] Aultcray**
Oh, Melty!
**[14:27] Aultcray**
What can I do for you?
**[14:30] Melty**
I heard that you spoke with
the Shield Hero just now.
**[14:36] Melty**
And also that your talk ended
in a very hostile manner.
**[14:43] Melty**
Father, if you remain at
odds with the Shield Hero,
**[14:47] Melty**
we may lose our means to fight the Waves,
which could threaten our country's safety.
**[14:52] Melty**
Please try to reconcile.
**[14:55] Aultcray**
Reconcile with that swine?!
**[14:58] Aultcray**
O-Oh, I'm not angry at you.
**[15:01] Melty**
Why do you hate the Shield Hero so?
**[15:06] Aultcray**
Well...
**[15:08] Aultcray**
If I let him and the demi-humans do as
they please, I'll yet again lose my family.
**[15:14] Melty**
Father?
**[15:15] Myne**
Your defiance is an affront.
**[15:19] Myne**
With the queen away,
the king's word is final.
**[15:23] Myne**
And even we princesses cannot overturn it.
**[15:27] Melty**
Sister...
**[15:29] Myne**
Our father is the king.
**[15:32] Myne**
Whether you understand
his decisions or not,
**[15:35] Myne**
they're all for the
betterment of our country.
**[15:37] Myne**
I know you're still at an age
where you want him to baby you,
**[15:42] Myne**
but you should learn to
hold back a little, Melty.
**[15:47] Myne**
Just a word of advice as your older sister.
**[15:50] Melty**
I appreciate your concern,
**[15:52] Melty**
but this is none of your business.
**[15:57] Melty**
Just like Mother and Father, I want
the best for our country, too.
**[16:02] Melty**
And it is my job as
crown princess to see to it.
**[16:08] Myne**
Melty, you little...
**[16:12] Melty**
I'll take my leave now, Father.
**[16:17] Aultcray**
Melty...
**[16:18] Myne**
Papa...
**[16:42] Elhart**
I can't believe you actually went
shopping for a fight with the king.
**[16:45] Naofumi**
Wrong. *He* picked a fight with *me.*
**[16:49] Elhart**
Man, I've got everything ya need.
Do all your shopping here.
**[16:53] Elhart**
Anyway, what are you going
to do about class upgrades?
**[16:56] Elhart**
From what you just said, I doubt they'll
let you use the dragon hourglass here.
**[17:01] Naofumi**
I was thinking of going to either
Siltvelt or Shieldfreeden.
**[17:05] Elhart**
I always figured you'd go
to those places someday.
**[17:09] Elhart**
I recommend Shieldfreeden.
**[17:12] Naofumi**
The slave merchant recommended it, too.
**[17:16] Naofumi**
Said it's very welcoming to humans
for a country of demi-humans.
**[17:19] Elhart**
Yeah.
**[17:20] Elhart**
Over in Siltvelt, they can get pretty
extreme about demi-human supremacy.
**[17:25] Elhart**
But as the Shield Hero...
**[17:27] Filo**
Master, are we going on another trip?
**[17:31] Filo**
Yay!
**[17:33] Elhart**
It usually takes a month by wagon,
**[17:34] Filo**
Trip, trip!
**[17:35] Elhart**
but our fowl lassie here should
get you there sooner.
**[17:36] Filo**
I can't wait!
**[17:38] Elhart**
I'll get everything ya need
and load it on to your wagon.
**[17:42] Naofumi**
Also, I'd like a new sword for Raphtalia.
**[17:45] Raphtalia**
Oh, I have a spare.
**[17:47] Naofumi**
But...
**[17:48] Raphtalia**
This will be another long journey.
**[17:50] Raphtalia**
We should save money where we can.
**[17:56] Raphtalia**
We were able to leave so quickly.
**[17:58] Raphtalia**
Elhart-san always works fast, doesn't he?
**[18:02] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[18:08] Elhart**
*Kid,*
**[18:10] Elhart**
*I got you some gifts for the road.*
**[18:13] Elhart**
*Use 'em if ya like.*
**[18:16] Elhart**
*For the kid, a shield accessory.*
**[18:19] Elhart**
* It can analyze a shield and*
* do tons of other useful stuff.*
**[18:24] Elhart**
*For the missy, a sword.*
**[18:27] Elhart**
*It's the same make as the one she broke.*
**[18:30] Elhart**
*Nothing beats a trusty old friend, right?*
**[18:33] Elhart**
*There's another for the missy.*
**[18:35] Elhart**
*A mana sword.*
**[18:37] Elhart**
*Use it on enemies with no physical form.*
**[18:43] Elhart**
*If, God forbid,*
**[18:45] Elhart**
* the fowl lassie can't draw the wagon anymore,*
* this item will help.*
**[18:50] Elhart**
* Put this on, and gain the*
* strength of a hundred men!*
**[18:52] Elhart**
*Even you could draw the wagon, kid!*
**[19:11] Filo**
Hod...
**[19:16] Naofumi**
*I love traveling.*
**[19:18] Naofumi**
*It makes me free, shackled by no one.*
**[19:21] Naofumi**
* I don't have to deal with royalty*
* or the other heroes, either.*
**[19:26] Melty**
Found you!
**[19:35] Filo**
Oh, Mel-chan!
**[19:37] Filo**
Hey! Long time no see!
**[19:38] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[19:40] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, it may not have been for long,
**[19:40] Filo**
Hurry up, Mel-chan!
**[19:43] Raphtalia**
but we traveled together as a party.
**[19:43] ---**
Over here, over here!
**[19:46] Filo**
Master...
**[19:48] Filo**
Mel-chan's a good girl, y'know?
**[20:00] Melty**
Sir Shield Hero,
**[20:03] Melty**
I'd like you to return to the capital
and meet with King Aultcray once more.
**[20:07] Naofumi**
I refuse.
**[20:12] Melty**
I want you to apologize
for your conduct and reconcile.
**[20:15] Naofumi**
I refuse!
**[20:19] Melty**
We need your help to stop the Waves.
**[20:23] Melty**
Also, you would be lost without
the king's financial support.
**[20:28] Naofumi**
Support?
**[20:30] Naofumi**
I'm the one graciously working with
you lot until the Waves are gone.
**[20:38] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[20:40] Naofumi**
She's royalty, too.
**[20:43] Melty**
Why...
**[20:45] Melty**
Why do both you and my father
have to be like this?!
**[20:50] Melty**
A hero and the king can't be fighting
among themselves! Absolutely not!
**[20:54] Filo**
Mel-chan?
**[20:56] Melromarc**
Don't you agree, Filo-chan?
**[20:58] Filo**
Er...
**[20:59] Melromarc**
You agree too, don't you, Raphtalia-san?!
**[21:01] Raphtalia**
W-Well, I am Naofumi-sama's sword.
**[21:05] Melromarc**
See? They're agreeing with me!
**[21:07] Naofumi**
Uh, they're not.
**[21:09] Melromarc**
Look, just apologize to Father!
**[21:12] Melromarc**
Otherwise, Mother will yell at him!
**[21:16] Naofumi**
* The way she throws a tantrum*
* is just like her dad.*
**[21:19] Naofumi**
*Wait... Her* mother *will yell at him?*
**[21:23] Melromarc**
Listen to me when I'm talking to you!
**[21:37] Naofumi**
*This feeling...*
**[21:39] Naofumi**
*It's the same as back then.*
**[21:42] Naofumi**
*It reeks of a setup!*
**[21:56] Melty**
So return to the capital—

So return to the capital—
**[00:11] Naofumi**
What the hell are you playing at?!
**[00:13] Soldier A**
Curse you! How dare you take
Princess Melty hostage!
**[00:16] Naofumi**
Hostage?
**[00:18] Soldier A**
Fellow knights! Justice is on our side!
**[00:21] Soldier A**
Destroy the Devil of the Shield!
**[00:24] Naofumi**
Resorting to calling me a devil now, huh?
**[00:27] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[00:58] Captain**
R-Retreat!
**[01:01] All**
Oh no! Run away!
**[01:05] Filo**
Wanna chase them down?
**[01:06] Naofumi**
Nah.
**[01:08] Raphtalia**
Are you okay, Mel-san?

**[04:04] Filo**
Mel-chan...
**[04:07] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[04:09] Naofumi**
How'd it go?
**[04:11] Raphtalia**
The altered footage has made its way
to the nearby towns and villages.
**[04:15] Raphtalia**
Entering them would be too risky.
**[04:18] Naofumi**
I see.
**[04:20] Raphtalia**
Isn't that...
**[04:24] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Why'd you try to kill the second
princess in front of us?
**[04:31] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Answer me!
**[04:33] (Flashback) Soldier A**
I have nothing to say to the devil!
**[04:41] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
That's a rosary from the
Three Heroes Church.
**[04:43] (Flashback) Naofumi**
The Three Heroes Church?
**[04:45] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Melromarc's state religion, which worships
the Sword, Spear, and Bow Heroes.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Naofumi**
That reminds me... I saw it at the
church in the capital, too.
**[04:53] (Flashback) Naofumi**
The three heroes other than the Shield, huh?
**[04:56] (Flashback) Soldier A**
You'll learn just how grave the sin of
disturbing our country's order is!
**[05:02] Raphtalia**
What was that about?
**[05:04] Naofumi**
Dunno, but it's probably another
one of the king's schemes.
**[05:09] Naofumi**
Thanks to her stupid dad,
we're stuck here with nowhere to go.
**[05:14] Melty**
My father can't be behind this.
**[05:16] Naofumi**
Who else could've ordered it?
**[05:20] Melty**
My sister, probably.
**[05:22] Naofumi**
So she's trying to kill you and
take your place as crown princess?
**[05:28] Naofumi**
But the knights who attacked you are
under the king's direct control, right?
**[05:33] Naofumi**
It'd be natural to assume he's in on this.
**[05:38] Naofumi**
Knowing them,
**[05:40] Naofumi**
they want to frame "The Devil of the Shield"
for this whole plot, huh?
**[05:44] Melty**
Father would never!
**[05:47] Naofumi**
What makes you so sure?
**[05:50] Melty**
Because Father is...
**[05:53] Naofumi**
Why stick up for a scumbag like him?
**[05:58] Melty**
You're wrong.
**[06:00] Filo**
Mel-chan...
**[06:02] Melty**
You're wrong!
**[06:04] Melty**
Why won't either of you understand?
**[06:06] Melty**
This is no time to be
fighting among yourselves!
**[06:11] Melty**
Talk to Father one more time!
**[06:15] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[06:19] Melty**
I... I can't face Mother like this!
**[06:25] Filo**
Don't cry, Mel-chan.
**[06:27] Filo**
I'm here for you.
**[06:41] Naofumi**
I've decided.
**[06:45] Filo**
Oh, Master.
**[06:47] Filo**
Welcome back.
**[06:51] Naofumi**
Listen.
**[06:52] Naofumi**
We're going to leave the country.
**[06:55] Naofumi**
What will you do?
**[06:57] Melty**
I'll return to the capital
and talk to Father—
**[07:01] Naofumi**
Bad idea.
**[07:02] Naofumi**
If you went back now,
you'd only get yourself killed.
**[07:05] Naofumi**
But if you decide to stay
with us, I'll keep you safe.
**[07:10] Naofumi**
I can promise you that, if nothing else.
**[07:15] Filo**
Come with us, Mel-chan.
**[07:17] Melty**
Okay.
**[07:19] Naofumi**
We leave before dawn.
**[07:21] Naofumi**
Make sure you're ready.
**[07:22] Raphtalia**
Where are we headed, Naofumi-sama?
**[07:26] Naofumi**
I've already got a place in mind.
**[07:43] Filo**
Master!
**[07:45] Naofumi**
You knew it had to be done.
**[07:47] Naofumi**
We can't cross these mountains on a wagon.
**[07:49] Naofumi**
We'll come back to get it
once this all settles down.
**[07:53] Filo**
You promise to come back for it?
**[07:56] Naofumi**
I promise.
**[08:30] Naofumi**
Let's take a break here.
**[08:33] Filo**
'Kay!
**[08:35] Naofumi**
You all right, Second Princess?
**[08:37] Melty**
Yes.
**[08:41] Raphtalia**
She must be tired.
**[08:43] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, what made you choose Siltvelt?
**[08:49] Naofumi**
The extra security.
**[08:51] Naofumi**
There must be a reason they're trying
so hard to prevent us from going there.
**[08:57] Naofumi**
It might be the perfect place to flee to.
**[08:59] Raphtalia**
Ah!
**[09:00] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[09:12] Melty**
Father...
**[09:15] Melty**
Tell me something.
**[09:18] Melty**
What happened between you and Father?
**[09:25] Melty**
What?
**[09:26] Melty**
But Mother said to treat
the Shield Hero well.
**[09:32] Naofumi**
Come to think of it,
I've heard nothing about your mom.
**[09:37] Melty**
She's the queen of this country.
**[09:40] Naofumi**
The queen?
**[09:41] Melty**
That means she's higher than
Father in the pecking order.
**[09:44] Naofumi**
The queen's more powerful?
**[09:47] Melty**
Melromarc is a matrilineal monarchy.
**[09:52] Naofumi**
You mean that king married
into the royal family?
**[09:55] Melty**
What's so funny?
**[09:56] Naofumi**
He acts like he owns the world.
**[09:59] Melty**
So what if he married into the family?!
**[10:01] Naofumi**
But he's adopted royalty?
**[10:06] Naofumi**
Let's get going.
**[10:24] Knight**
They're not over here.
**[10:26] Knight**
They can't have gone far.
**[10:28] Knight**
Find them!
**[10:44] Knight**
Look for them!
**[10:46] Knight**
Where are they?
**[10:48] Naofumi**
They've blocked this route off, too?
**[10:50] Naofumi**
Let's backtrack a bit.
**[11:04] Knight**
There they are!
**[11:05] Knight**
Over there!
**[11:07] Naofumi**
They found us?
**[11:08] Naofumi**
Can you run?
**[11:10] Melty**
Yes.
**[11:11] Naofumi**
We're making a break for it
past that big rock!
**[11:32] Itsuki**
There's nowhere left to run.
**[11:34] Itsuki**
You're surrounded.
**[11:37] Itsuki**
Cease your resistance and release
Princess Melty at once.
**[11:41] Naofumi**
"Release"? It's not like I have her tied up.
**[11:45] Motoyasu**
Quit lying. We have all the proof we need.
**[11:48] Melty**
Heroes, I'm perfectly fine, as you can see.
**[11:52] Melty**
The Shield Hero kept me safe.
**[11:56] Ren**
Hang on. Didn't Naofumi abduct you?
**[12:01] Melty**
A dastardly plot was behind all this.
**[12:05] Melty**
I asked him to take me and protect my life.
**[12:09] Ren**
"Protect"?
**[12:11] Melty**
What could the Shield Hero possibly
stand to gain by abducting me?
**[12:16] Melty**
The queen told me...
**[12:19] Melty**
This is the time for all of us to work
together to thwart the catastrophes.
**[12:26] Melty**
Our world cannot withstand any
further pointless conflict!
**[12:31] Melty**
Please put your weapons away.
**[12:34] Naofumi**
As she says, this is a setup.
**[12:37] Naofumi**
I'll tell you everything I know.
**[12:40] Naofumi**
So—
**[12:41] Myne**
You mustn't listen to him!
**[12:44] Myne**
That devil possesses a brainwashing shield.
**[12:47] Myne**
That accursed shield lets him take over
one's mind just by talking to them.
**[12:53] Raphtalia**
Wha... Who would believe such a lie?
**[12:56] Myne**
The Three Heroes Church has found that
**[13:00] Myne**
heretics who worship the Shield have
started popping up in the past month.
**[13:04] Naofumi**
The Three Heroes Church again?
**[13:07] Myne**
The Devil of the Shield called himself
"the Savior of the Heavenly Fowl"
**[13:10] Myne**
and went around brainwashing
innocent people!
**[13:13] Melty**
Sister?
**[13:14] Myne**
Melty, you poor thing!
**[13:18] Myne**
I see the Devil of the Shield
has already brainwashed you.
**[13:22] Motoyasu**
I see!
**[13:23] Motoyasu**
Then Raphtalia-chan and Filo-chan were
really brainwashed by Naofumi, too.
**[13:26] Raphtalia**
You're wrong!
**[13:28] Raphtalia**
We've not been brainwashed!
**[13:30] Naofumi**
If my shield had an ability like that,
**[13:34] Naofumi**
we wouldn't be in this
situation to begin with!
**[13:36] Ren**
But there's no guarantee that it doesn't.
**[13:38] Ren**
Do you have any proof to convince us?
**[13:43] Ren**
Naofumi, hand over the second princess.
**[13:48] Ren**
I promise you she won't
be harmed in any way.
**[13:53] Naofumi**
Well, if we can avoid fighting,
**[13:57] Naofumi**
that might be for the best.
**[14:01] Myne**
You're absolutely right, Ren-sama!
**[14:04] Myne**
Melty's safety comes first!
**[14:14] Myne**
Come, now.
**[14:16] Myne**
Let's go home together.
**[14:19] Melty**
No...
**[14:20] Melty**
If I go back, I'll be killed!
**[14:30] Myne**
Come to me, now.
**[14:34] Melty**
Please!
**[14:37] Melty**
Help me!
**[14:45] Naofumi**
Ren, I appreciate your offer,
**[14:48] Naofumi**
but I don't trust that woman
with the second princess.
**[14:52] Ren**
What do you mean?
**[14:57] Myne**
What are you talking about?
**[15:00] Myne**
Melty is my dear sister.
**[15:02] Myne**
I—
**[15:03] Naofumi**
You want to be crown princess so badly
that you're willing to kill your sister?
**[15:09] Naofumi**
You'll say you're undoing the "brainwashing"
and kill her when nobody's looking.
**[15:13] Naofumi**
I bet that's what you're planning!
**[15:18] Naofumi**
I did promise to keep you safe.
**[15:21] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[15:22] Filo**
'Kay!
**[15:29] Naofumi**
Go!
**[15:33] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[15:47] Motoyasu**
Not so fast!
**[16:21] Myne**
I've called for backup.
There's no escape for you now.
**[16:28] Filo**
I can't get this off.
**[16:30] Motoyasu**
Filo-chan!
**[16:33] Filo**
L-Let go of me!
**[16:35] Filo**
Huh? I-I've lost all my strength!
**[16:37] Motoyasu**
I had the royal alchemists make this
so you could stay an angel forever.
**[16:43] Melty**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[16:45] Melty**
Decipher the laws of nature and slice
through my target like a blade of water.
**[16:51] Melty**
Zweit Aqua Slash!
**[16:56] Melty**
I won't miss next time.
**[16:57] Melty**
Unhand Filo-chan!
**[17:06] Itsuki**
Myne-san?
**[17:07] Itsuki**
Are you trying to kill Princess Melty?!
**[17:09] Myne**
She's the one who attacked first.
**[17:12] Myne**
Zweit Hellfire!
**[17:14] Myne**
Zweit Fire Arrow!
**[17:17] Ren**
What the hell is wrong with you? Stop!
**[17:21] Ren**
If we can't undo her brainwashing,
she'll have to die!
**[17:28] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[17:30] Raphtalia**
Can I leave Mel-san to you for a bit?
**[17:33] Naofumi**
Sure.
**[17:34] Naofumi**
Step back a little.
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Come forth, Rage Shield!
**[17:41] Motoyasu**
Filo-chan...
**[17:50] Ren**
That shield!
**[17:54] Myne**
Bring down the hammer of justice
on the Devil of the Shield!
**[17:59] Captain**
Fire!
**[18:13] Raphtalia**
Not on my watch.
**[18:20] Filo**
My turn now!
**[18:25] Captain**
Annihilate the Devil of the Shield
and his party!
**[18:32] Ren**
Wait, don't!
**[18:42] Ren**
What's that light?
**[18:53] Ren**
What the hell's going on?
**[18:56] Naofumi**
Ren...
**[18:58] Naofumi**
I know you'll be able to figure out
what's really going on here.
**[19:04] Ren**
Wait, Naofumi!
***SIGN*** Disarming Successful
**[19:22] Filo**
Yay!
**[19:29] Melty**
Wait!
**[19:30] Melty**
She's on our side.
**[19:33] Melty**
That's one of the Shadows, an espionage
squad under the queen's direct control.
**[19:38] Shadow**
Shield Hero...
**[19:40] Shadow**
This is the first time I meet
you in this form, I daresay.
**[19:43] Naofumi**
Wait, "daresay"?
**[19:47] Shadow**
Allow me to get straight to the point.
**[19:51] Shadow**
Shield Hero, you are requested to meet with
Her Majesty the Queen, I daresay.
**[19:56] Naofumi**
With the queen?
**[19:58] Shadow**
This commotion has a
deep-rooted cause, I daresay.
**[20:01] Shadow**
We would like your help, I daresay.
**[20:04] Shadow**
This abduction is a setup by those who
find your accomplishments alarming.
**[20:10] Naofumi**
Oh, great. More pains in
the ass to deal with.
**[20:13] Naofumi**
And? What would I gain by meeting her?
**[20:16] Shadow**
You'll understand once you do, I daresay.
**[20:26] Naofumi**
The queen's in the opposite
direction from Siltvelt.
**[20:31] Naofumi**
Hey, Second Princess,
do you know this country?
**[20:36] Naofumi**
Oh yeah, Second Princess,
**[20:38] Naofumi**
you can use magic, huh?
**[20:42] Melty**
...me that.
**[20:43] Naofumi**
What was that, Second Princess?
**[20:45] Melty**
Stop calling me that!
**[20:47] Naofumi**
What's gotten into you?
**[20:52] Melty**
I have a name! It's Melty!
**[20:55] Melty**
So why do you keep calling me
"Second Princess," Shield Hero?
**[20:59] Melty**
Don't treat me like some outsider!
**[21:02] Naofumi**
Hey, you call me "Shield Hero," too.
**[21:06] Melty**
If you don't like that,
I'll call you Naofumi.
**[21:08] Melty**
So you call me Melty, too.
**[21:12] Melty**
Come on, Naofumi!
**[21:15] Raphtalia**
Straight to first names?
**[21:16] Naofumi**
Gotcha, Second Princess...
**[21:19] Melty**
Hey!
**[21:20] Naofumi**
Melty.
**[21:21] Naofumi**
Happy now?
**[21:23] Melty**
One more time.
**[21:25] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[21:26] Melty**
Say my name one more time.
**[21:29] Naofumi**
Melty.
**[21:31] Melty**
And don't you forget it.
**[21:34] Melty**
Also, thank you.
**[21:38] Naofumi**
What's up?
**[21:40] Raphtalia**
It's nothing!
**[21:46] Raphtalia**
What's that smell?

**[00:13] Myne**
Fire!
**[00:29] Myne**
Send word to the lords of
every domain in Melromarc.
**[00:32] Knight Commander**
Ma'am.
**[00:38] Knight Commander**
As you wish.
**[00:53] Raphtalia**
That is no ordinary forest fire.
**[00:55] Naofumi**
That woman probably started it.
**[00:59] Naofumi**
She's trying to smoke us out.
**[01:02] Melty**
Sister...
**[01:04] Naofumi**
The fire will spread here soon.
**[01:06] Naofumi**
We're leaving.
**[01:15] Merchant**
The checkpoint's been closed,
**[01:18] Merchant**
and there's an emergency security
deployment along the border.
**[01:20] Merchant**
It's gonna be impossible to cross
over to Siltvelt for a while.
**[01:24] Merchant**
It seems the Devil of the Shield
has abducted Princess Melty,
**[01:27] Merchant**
and is hiding in this area.
**[01:30] Naofumi**
Will this be enough?
**[01:32] Merchant**
Sure. Let me get your change.
**[01:33] Merchant**
Huh? Sir?
**[01:39] Soldier**
Have you seen this man around?
**[01:49] Filo**
Oh, Master.
**[01:51] Raphtalia**
How'd it go, Naofumi-sama?
**[01:53] Naofumi**
We should probably give
up on going to Siltvelt.
**[01:58] Naofumi**
Which means...
**[01:59] (Flashback) Shadow**
Shield Hero, you are requested to meet
with Her Majesty the Queen, I daresay.
**[02:05] Naofumi**
Is doing as that Shadow
said our only option?
**[02:09] Melty**
What's the plan, Naofumi?
**[02:14] Naofumi**
We're going to meet the queen.
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Everlasting Memory
**[03:57] Raphtalia**
There are a lot of demi-humans
in this region.
**[04:01] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[04:02] Melty**
Are we in... I see!
**[04:05] Filo**
What is it?
**[04:06] Melty**
A nobleman I know is in
charge of this domain.
**[04:09] Melty**
He may be able to help us out.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
A nobleman?
**[04:13] Melty**
These days, humans treat
demi-humans like slaves,
**[04:16] Melty**
but in the past, some of the
nobility tried to mediate
**[04:19] Melty**
peaceful coexistence between the two races.
**[04:21] Melty**
The leader of that group
was a wonderful man.
**[04:24] Melty**
He was the lord of the domain of Seyaette.
**[04:28] Melty**
But he died in the first Wave,
**[04:31] Melty**
and the nobles that sided with him
**[04:34] Melty**
were all shuffled off to remote
regions under Father's orders.
**[04:37] Naofumi**
That guy's hatred of demi-humans is absurd.
**[04:42] Naofumi**
What's wrong, Raphtalia?
**[04:45] Naofumi**
The village I'm from is in
Seyaette's jurisdiction.
**[04:50] Melty**
I heard Seyaette was attacked
by rioters after the Wave.
**[04:56] Raphtalia**
That's right.
**[05:02] Raphtalia**
My village was attacked by a
mob of Melromarc's soldiers.
**[05:08] Naofumi**
The more I hear about these people,
the more they disgust me.
**[05:14] Melty**
I'm so sorry.
**[05:16] Raphtalia**
It's not like it was your fault, Melty-chan.
**[05:18] Melty**
As royalty, there must have been
something we could have done.
**[05:22] Melty**
But we did nothing to help.
**[05:25] Melty**
Raphtalia-san, tell me everything
you remember about those soldiers.
**[05:30] Melty**
Once this all dies down, I'll make
sure they're brought to justice.
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
Okay.
**[05:37] Naofumi**
And? This nobleman you
know lives here, right?
**[05:41] Melty**
Yes.
**[05:43] Naofumi**
The question is whether
or not we can trust him.
**[05:46] Van**
You are indeed right.
**[05:58] Melty**
It's been too long, Reichnott.
**[06:00] Van**
Welcome, Melty-sama.
**[06:05] Van**
Pleased to meet you.
**[06:06] Van**
I am Van Reichnott, the lord of this domain.
**[06:11] Naofumi**
* This feeble guy is the*
* nobleman she mentioned?*
**[06:14] Naofumi**
* But his stealthiness is off*
* the charts. What's with him?*
**[06:19] Van**
This is no place for a chat.
**[06:21] Van**
Would you like to join me at my mansion?
**[06:26] Van**
I see.
**[06:29] Van**
So you reached my domain
after a long escape, is it?
**[06:33] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[06:35] Van**
The knights informed me that
you started the wildfires
**[06:39] Van**
to cover your tracks, Shield Hero.
**[06:42] Naofumi**
That's a complete lie.
**[06:45] Naofumi**
The first princess probably made it all up.
**[06:47] Van**
Just as I thought.
**[06:49] Van**
I was patrolling the area out
of concern for Melty-sama, too.
**[06:55] Van**
You must be exhausted from your travels.
**[06:57] Van**
Please rest up here for
a while, if you wish.
**[07:05] Filo**
May I eat, Master?
**[07:08] Naofumi**
No, wait.
**[07:10] Naofumi**
I don't trust this guy yet.
**[07:14] Van**
Ah, this is delicious.
**[07:17] Van**
Rest assured, the food isn't poisoned.
**[07:21] Filo**
Time to eat!
**[07:23] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[07:24] Raphtalia**
Where are your manners?
**[07:27] Filo**
Ugh...
**[07:31] Raphtalia**
Let us eat too, Naofumi-sama.
**[07:34] Melty**
Casting doubts on such gracious hospitality?
**[07:36] Melty**
How rude can you be?
**[07:38] Naofumi**
We shouldn't stay here too long.
**[07:41] Naofumi**
We're leaving tomorrow morning.
**[07:44] Melty**
That soon?
**[07:46] Naofumi**
The longer we stay, the higher the
odds of us being sniffed out.
**[07:51] Melty**
Well, yes...
**[07:53] Melty**
But I was hoping to rest some more.
**[07:55] Van**
You've changed a little, Princess Melty.
**[08:00] Van**
You used to force yourself
to act more mature,
**[08:04] Van**
but it seems traveling with the Shield Hero
**[08:07] Van**
has helped you grow in a good way.
**[08:11] Naofumi**
I'm pretty sure you mean in a bad way.
**[08:13] Melty**
Sh-Shut up!
**[08:15] Naofumi**
Don't make a racket while we're eating.
**[08:17] Melty**
Whose fault do you think it is?!
**[08:22] Filo**
This bed feels amazing!
**[08:24] Filo**
So soft and bouncy!
**[08:29] Melty**
Why don't you sleep for a bit?
**[08:31] Naofumi**
We don't know when this
place will get attacked.
**[08:35] Naofumi**
I make a point of not sleeping
at times like these.
**[08:38] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I'll keep watch,
**[08:42] Raphtalia**
so you can go ahead and sleep.
**[08:44] Naofumi**
All right.
**[08:47] Melty**
Why do you listen to what
Raphtalia-san says, but not me?
**[08:51] Naofumi**
It's not like that.
**[08:54] Filo**
Mel-chan, I wanna explore this place.
**[08:59] Melromarc**
Sure. Let's go.
**[09:04] Filo**
I wonder if they have any yummy snacks.
**[09:09] Raphtalia**
Couldn't you be a bit nicer to her?
**[09:21] Filo**
What's wrong, Mel-chan?
**[09:24] Melty**
I think I've been acting really
spoiled since meeting Naofumi.
**[09:28] Melty**
My speech has become cruder, too.
**[09:32] Melty**
It's like I'm a different person.
**[09:36] Filo**
Uh...
**[09:37] Melty**
Sorry. You don't understand, do you?
**[09:41] Filo**
I love the way you are now, Mel-chan.
**[09:44] Filo**
I mean, you look so cheerful
when you're talking to Master.
**[09:49] Melty**
Th-That's not right...
**[09:51] Filo**
Mel-chan, have him dote on you just like us!
**[09:55] Melty**
D...
**[09:56] Melty**
Dote on me?!
**[09:58] Filo**
Yep!
**[09:59] Melty**
That's n-not what I'm looking for!
**[10:07] Aultcray**
You still haven't found her?!
**[10:09] Aultcray**
Know that I'll have your heads
if anything happens to Melty!
**[10:13] Knights**
Yes, sir!
**[10:18] Myne**
Please rest assured, Father.
**[10:20] Myne**
I promise you that I shall rescue Melty.
**[10:23] Aultcray**
Please.
**[10:30] Aultcray**
Not my family again.
**[10:32] Aultcray**
How much will you make me suffer?
**[10:36] Aultcray**
Accursed Shield!
**[10:39] Melty**
You're up?
**[10:40] Naofumi**
Yeah. I'll take over now.
**[10:43] Melty**
It's fine.
**[10:44] Melty**
I'm not very sleepy.
**[10:47] Naofumi**
Really?
**[10:48] Melty**
Say, Naofumi...
**[10:50] Naofumi**
What?
**[10:51] Melty**
Should I really keep running like this?
**[10:56] Melty**
As crown princess, there are so many
other things I should be doing.
**[11:01] Melty**
But I haven't been able to do any of them.
**[11:05] Naofumi**
Your life comes first.
**[11:08] Naofumi**
You can worry about your
duties after you're safe.
**[11:11] Melty**
But I feel so pathetic.
**[11:18] Naofumi**
Don't beat yourself up
too much. Get some rest.
**[11:21] Melty**
Okay.
**[11:24] Naofumi**
I'm sure there are things
that only you can do.
**[11:29] Melty**
Thanks.
**[11:31] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[11:32] Melty**
It's nothing. Never mind.
**[11:34] Melty**
Good night.
**[11:36] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[11:52] Raphtalia**
Please... Stop...
**[12:08] Naofumi**
*Is she having that same nightmare again?*
**[12:20] Raphtalia**
Rifana-chan!
**[12:24] Naofumi**
You okay?
**[12:27] Raphtalia**
Y-Yes.
**[12:28] Naofumi**
We've got bad news.
**[12:34] Raphtalia**
Why is the lord being taken away?
**[12:36] Maid**
Sir Hero! You must get out of here at once!
**[12:39] Naofumi**
What happened?
**[12:40] Maid**
A nobleman from the next town over marched
in here and accused us of hiding you!
**[12:46] Soldier A**
Find the Devil of the Shield!
**[12:48] Maid**
Use the kitchen door and
escape out the back.
**[12:50] Naofumi**
Where are Filo and Melty?
**[12:52] Soldier A**
Did you find him?
**[12:53] Soldier B**
No, he's not here.
**[12:56] Maid**
This way.
**[12:59] Soldier A**
Hey, you there!
**[13:00] Soldier A**
What are you doing?
**[13:02] Maid**
Getting ready for lunch.
**[13:04] Soldier B**
Forget that! Get over here!
**[13:07] Melty**
What do you think you're doing?
**[13:09] Melty**
I am Melty Melromarc,
Second Princess of Melromarc.
**[13:14] Melty**
I demand that you cease
this behavior at once!
**[13:17] Soldier A**
The second princess?
**[13:19] Soldier B**
The real deal?
**[13:20] Idol**
My, if it isn't Princess Melty.
**[13:30] Melty**
Aren't you...
**[13:34] Naofumi**
Let's wait and see what happens.
**[13:37] Idol**
I'm so glad to see you're all right.
**[13:39] Idol**
I rushed here worried for your safety.
**[13:43] Melty**
Idol Rabier...
**[13:44] Melty**
I've heard that you fought
with Father in the past.
**[13:48] Idol**
You heard right.
**[13:49] Melty**
Are these your troops?
**[13:52] Idol**
They are indeed.
**[13:53] Melty**
Have them withdraw from
this mansion immediately.
**[13:56] Idol**
Before that, where is the
Devil of the Shield?
**[14:00] Melty**
The Shield Hero isn't here.
**[14:04] Idol**
Oh?
**[14:05] Melty**
I asked him to leave me and escape.
**[14:10] Naofumi**
That girl...
**[14:12] Melty**
I plan to speak with Father directly.
**[14:15] Melty**
And I shall clear the
Shield Hero's good name!
**[14:22] Melty**
You will take me to the
capital as soon as possible.
**[14:25] Idol**
I understand.
**[14:27] Idol**
I'll make arrangements for
your journey at my mansion.
**[14:32] Idol**
Take her.
**[14:42] Naofumi**
Calm down.
**[14:44] Naofumi**
Do you want to ruin what
Melty's trying to do?
**[14:53] Naofumi**
Filo! Where are you?
**[14:54] Raphtalia**
Filo?
**[14:56] Maid**
Filo-chan!
**[14:58] Maid**
Where are you?
**[15:00] Naofumi**
Oh, to hell with it.
**[15:03] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[15:04] Naofumi**
Get out here now! This is an order!
**[15:12] Filo**
Master, you meanie!
**[15:15] Naofumi**
It's your fault for not showing yourself.
**[15:18] Naofumi**
What were you even doing up here?
**[15:20] Filo**
What?
**[15:22] Filo**
Mel-chan wanted to play hide and seek.
**[15:26] Filo**
She said I should hide somewhere
I wouldn't be found
**[15:28] Filo**
and not come out, no matter what.
**[15:32] Filo**
But she never came for me in the end.
**[15:36] Filo**
Huh?
**[15:37] Filo**
Where's Mel-chan?
**[15:40] Filo**
I'm going to save Mel-chan!
**[15:42] Raphtalia**
Wait, Filo!
**[15:43] Filo**
But if we don't hurry up, she'll...
**[15:46] Naofumi**
Abandoning her and running
away is an option.
**[15:52] Naofumi**
But she believed in me.
**[16:02] Naofumi**
I... don't want to betray someone
who placed their trust in me.
**[16:08] Naofumi**
I did make her a promise.
**[16:30] Naofumi**
You know that Idol guy, don't you?
**[16:35] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[16:36] Naofumi**
You can stay behind if you want.
**[16:39] Raphtalia**
No. I have my sword now.
**[16:44] Raphtalia**
I want to confront my past!
**[16:47] Naofumi**
Got it.
**[16:50] Demi-human**
Open the gate!
**[16:52] Filo**
What's going on?
**[16:53] Raphtalia**
Demi-humans who love their lord
must've come here for him.
**[16:57] Demi-human**
Give back Van-sama!
**[16:58] Naofumi**
This is convenient. We'll sneak into the
mansion while they distract the guards.
**[17:02] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[17:03] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[17:04] Filo**
'Kay!
**[17:11] Idol**
Ugh, those damned demis!
**[17:15] Melty**
What is happening outside?
**[17:18] Idol**
Just some flies buzzing around. It's
nothing you need to worry about.
**[17:22] Idol**
We'll get rid of them at once.
**[17:24] Idol**
Now, will you tell me where
the Devil of the Shield is?
**[17:30] Melty**
As I've told you several
times, I do not know.
**[17:38] Melty**
Reichnott?!
**[17:43] Idol**
Where is the Devil of the Shield?
**[17:45] Van**
I know no such person.
**[17:48] Van**
The only one I know is
called the Shield Hero.
**[17:53] Idol**
As you see, we're having a hard time
getting him to spill the beans.
**[17:57] Idol**
I would very much like to avoid
getting rough with you if possible.
**[18:03] Idol**
But as a servant of God,
**[18:06] Idol**
I must punish anyone who
sides with the Devil.
**[18:10] Idol**
That is my sacred duty.
**[18:16] Soldier**
Intruders!
**[18:19] Naofumi**
Go wild, Filo.
**[18:21] Naofumi**
We'll go rescue Melty in the meantime.
**[18:24] Filo**
'Kay!
**[18:31] Soldier**
After them!
**[18:47] Filo**
Mel-chan!
**[18:59] Naofumi**
What's down there?
**[19:04] Naofumi**
Rescuing Melty takes priority for now.
**[19:07] Naofumi**
We can come back later.
**[19:09] Raphtalia**
Okay.
**[19:10] Soldier**
Found them!
**[19:11] Soldier**
Over there!

That's a highly potent venom.
**[19:23] Naofumi**
If you don't use an antidote quickly,
you'll die.
**[19:26] Naofumi**
But I'm willing to save your
life if you listen to me.
**[19:30] Naofumi**
Where is Melty?
**[19:35] Melty**
Stay away!
**[19:37] Idol**
I love that valiant look in your eyes!
**[19:41] Idol**
I want to see it become despair,
**[19:45] Idol**
and your face warp in agony.
**[19:47] Idol**
Let me have a good look at you!
**[19:54] Idol**
Tch! What now?
**[19:56] Soldier**
Idol-sama! It seems the Devil of the Shield
has infiltrated the mansion!
**[20:00] Soldier**
What?
**[20:06] Soldier**
Mel-chan!
**[20:08] Melromarc**
Filo-chan?
**[20:09] Melromarc**
Raphtalia-san!
**[20:11] Idol**
Don't move!
**[20:13] Idol**
Take one step forward, and the
princess's head will fly.
**[20:17] Naofumi**
So we just have to stand still, right?
**[20:22] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[20:33] Melty**
Naofumi!
**[20:41] Melty**
Why did you come?
**[20:42] Naofumi**
Because I've never heard of a hero
who abandons a child to run away.
**[20:47] Melty**
Now you've wasted all my efforts.
**[20:51] Melty**
But...
**[20:53] Melty**
Thanks.
**[20:56] Idol**
You dare make a mockery of me?
**[20:58] Idol**
Torture isn't enough for the likes of you!
**[21:02] Idol**
You will pay with your lives!
**[21:20] Filo**
Onee-chan!
**[21:22] Naofumi**
Wait.
**[21:26] Idol**
Lowly demi!
**[21:39] Idol**
W-Wait...
**[21:42] Idol**
Don't.
**[21:46] Idol**
S-Spare me!
**[21:50] Raphtalia**
So many demi-humans begged for
their lives just like that,
**[21:57] Raphtalia**
but you...

Huh? A person I love?
**[00:16] (Flashback) Rifana**
Yeah. Do you have someone special like that?
**[00:19] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Um...
**[00:22] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
My dad, I guess?
**[00:24] (Flashback) Rifana**
Uh, that's not what I mean.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
What about you, Rifana-chan?
Do you have someone like that?
**[00:33] (Flashback) Rifana**
You see...
**[00:35] (Flashback) Rifana**
I wanna marry someone like
one of the legendary heroes.
**[00:39] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Like the Shield Hero?
**[00:42] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I wanna meet him, too.
**[00:53] (Flashback) Keel**
Look!
**[01:03] Idol**
P-Please!
**[01:05] Idol**
Spare my life!
**[01:08] Raphtalia**
After you killed so many demi-humans
in your underground chamber,
**[01:11] Raphtalia**
you think you can beg for your life?!
**[01:13] Idol**
You can't be...
**[01:16] Idol**
One of those villagers
I kept enslaved underground?
**[01:20] Idol**
One of those demis?!

Do you really think I've forgotten
the atrocities you committed?
**[03:09] Raphtalia**
I haven't!
**[03:10] Raphtalia**
I could never forget!
**[03:12] Idol**
I was wrong!
**[03:14] Idol**
I-I'll apologize!
**[03:16] Idol**
I'm so sorry!
**[03:18] Raphtalia**
This scumbag took Rifana-chan and...
**[03:23] Idol**
No! Please don't!
**[03:28] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[03:30] Naofumi**
Will killing him help you get closure?
**[03:35] Naofumi**
It's not just with the sword, right?
Haven't you grown stronger in other ways?
**[03:47] Raphtalia**
You're a terrible person who put so many
demi-humans through hell, then killed them.
**[03:54] Raphtalia**
I can never forgive you.
**[03:57] Raphtalia**
But if I kill you now,
**[03:59] Raphtalia**
I won't be any different from you.
**[04:05] Raphtalia**
So I won't take your life.
**[04:07] Raphtalia**
You will live and atone for
the sins you have committed.
**[04:12] Idol**
Confound you...

Naofumi-sama, I...
**[05:02] Naofumi**
It's not your fault.
**[05:03] Raphtalia**
But I...
**[05:06] Naofumi**
It's okay.
**[05:07] Van**
Sir Shield Hero...
**[05:09] Van**
Thank you. You saved me.
**[05:12] Melty**
Reichnott! Are you hurt?
**[05:15] Van**
I'm fine.
**[05:16] Melty**
First Aqua Heal.
**[05:21] Van**
Let's take this chance to run.
**[05:22] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[05:23] Naofumi**
But first...
**[05:28] Raphtalia**
Idol imprisoned his demi-human
slaves underground,
**[05:32] Raphtalia**
and tortured them.
**[05:34] Van**
Why do you know that?
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
Because I was one of them.
**[05:45] Naofumi**
It's not too late to turn back, you know?
**[05:47] Raphtalia**
There's no need. I'll be fine.
**[05:53] Raphtalia's Mother**

You must smile and help everyone
around you smile, too.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Dad... Mom...
**[06:08] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I won't cry anymore.
**[06:12] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Please watch over me.
**[06:21] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Listen to me, everyone!
**[06:25] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
We're still alive!
**[06:27] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
And we'll keep on living!
**[06:29] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
As survivors, let's rebuild our village,
so it's the way it used to be!
**[06:34] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I'm sure that's what everyone
who died would want!
**[06:40] (Flashback) Keel**
Yeah!
**[06:42] (Flashback) Keel**
Raphtalia-chan's right!
**[06:44] (Flashback) Rifana**
Yep! Let's do our best!
**[06:47] (Flashback) Villager A**
Yeah.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Villager B**
Let's rebuild our village!
**[06:58] (Flashback) Keel**
Raphtalia-chan...
**[07:02] (Flashback) Keel**
Your parents died, right? Um...
**[07:06] (Flashback) Keel**
Aren't you sad?
**[07:11] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I am sad.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
But I don't want to cry.
**[07:16] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Dad said I should keep smiling in hard times.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Rifana**
If you're trying so hard
with a smile on your face,
**[07:24] (Flashback) Rifana**
I should do my best, too.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Both**
Yeah.
**[07:29] (Flashback) Rifana**
Hey.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Rifana**
Look.

Yes.

Rifana-chan...
**[09:15] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Eat up, Rifana-chan.
**[09:21] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Don't worry. I'm sure the
Shield Hero will save us.
**[09:37] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Rifana-chan?
**[09:41] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
You're burning up!
**[09:44] (Flashback) Rifana**
Hey, do you remember that flag?
**[09:51] (Flashback) Rifana**
It was a symbol of how we demi-humans
were allowed to build a village for ourselves.
**[09:57] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Yeah... Yeah.
**[09:59] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I remember.
**[10:02] (Flashback) Rifana**
I wanna see it again.
**[10:05] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I'm sure you can!
**[10:08] (Flashback) Rifana**
Yeah...
**[10:18] (Flashback) Rifana**
Raphtalia-chan...
**[10:24] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
What?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Rifana**
I wanna go back to the village.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Yeah, let's...
**[10:34] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Let's go home to our village together.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Rifana**
I wanna go home.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Rifana**
Is that...
**[10:49] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I'm sorry I couldn't make it any better.
**[10:53] (Flashback) Rifana**
No!
**[10:54] (Flashback) Rifana**
I'm so happy. Thank you.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Rifana-chan?
**[11:12] (Flashback) Guard**
Hey.
**[11:14] (Flashback) Guard**
Out.
**[11:23] (Flashback) Guard**
You're being sold off to a slave merchant.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
What about Rifana-chan?
**[11:29] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Tell me!
**[11:31] (Flashback) Guard**
She's the only one being sold.
**[11:33] (Flashback) Guard**
Get going.
**[11:34] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
What about Rifana-chan?!
**[11:36] (Flashback) Guard**
She's done for.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
...le... when times are tough...
**[11:55] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Huh?
**[11:57] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
How do I smile again?
**[12:16] Van**
There's a survivor!
**[12:19] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raphtalia!
**[12:29] Van**
You'll be all right now.
**[12:31] Melty**
Naofumi!
**[12:33] Melty**
Over here, too!
**[12:43] Filo**
There's someone over here, too!
**[12:56] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun?
**[13:02] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun!
**[13:04] Raphtalia**
Why are you here?
**[13:06] Keel**
Who... are you?
**[13:09] Raphtalia**
You were brought here, too?
**[13:12] Raphtalia**
I'm so glad you're alive!
**[13:25] Keel**
Who are you, lady?
**[13:27] Raphtalia**
Did you forget? It's me, Raphtalia.
**[13:29] Keel**
Raphtalia-chan?
**[13:31] Keel**
No way.
**[13:33] Keel**
You can't be her.
**[13:35] Keel**
S-Stay away!
**[13:37] Raphtalia**
Do you remember?
**[13:39] Raphtalia**
That one time, you went
diving and nearly drowned,
**[13:41] Raphtalia**
and Sadeena-oneechan had to save you.
**[13:44] Raphtalia**
You ate a poisonous mushroom and ended
up with an upset stomach another time.
**[13:49] Raphtalia**
You were in pain and begged me not to tell anyone.
**[13:54] Raphtalia**
And when I said we should rebuild
the village after the Wave,
**[13:58] Raphtalia**
you were the first one to agree.
**[14:02] Raphtalia**
That made me so happy.
**[14:06] Keel**
Raphtalia-chan...
**[14:09] Keel**
It's really you!
**[14:11] Raphtalia**
Thank you.
**[14:13] Raphtalia**
I'm so grateful that you're still alive.
**[14:17] Keel**
Who are they?
**[14:19] Raphtalia**
I'm with the Shield Hero right now.
**[14:23] Keel**
What? The... Shield Hero?
**[14:27] Raphtalia**
Yeah. The Shield Hero is here to save you.
**[14:31] Naofumi**
Let me see your wounds.
**[14:41] Keel**
He's real...
**[14:42] Keel**
The Shield Hero really exists!
**[14:47] Raphtalia**
Are you okay?
**[14:49] Keel**
Yeah.
**[14:51] Keel**
I see...
**[14:52] Keel**
Rifana-chan would've been
so happy to see him.
**[14:56] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun...
**[14:58] Raphtalia**
Where is Rifana-chan?
**[15:00] Raphtalia**
Is she also...
**[15:05] Rifana**
*Say, Raphtalia-chan.*
**[15:08] (Flashback) Rifana**
Do you think the Shield
Hero will come to save us?
**[15:13] Raphtalia**
*I know he will!*
**[15:15] Rifana**
*I wanna see him soon.*
**[15:17] Rifana**
*See him and...*
**[15:19] Raphtalia**
*And?*
**[15:24] (Flashback) Rifana**
Have him make me his wife.
**[16:00] Filo**
Master...
**[16:02] Melty**
I can't believe such monstrous
deeds were being done in Melromarc.
**[16:07] Van**
Melty-sama...
**[16:08] Van**
As much as I hate to say it, similar
things happen all across this country.
**[16:13] Melty**
What?!
**[16:15] Van**
That's why we needed Seyaette.
**[16:19] Van**
But now...
**[16:21] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Melty, I need you to do something for me.
**[16:26] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Return to the capital
**[16:27] (Flashback) Mirelia**
and admonish the king for
his unjust treatment.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Ordinarily, I would go myself, but...
**[16:38] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry I took so long.
**[16:42] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, who is that?
**[16:45] Raphtalia**
Rifana-chan.
**[16:48] Raphtalia**
She was gentler and more graceful than me,
**[16:52] Raphtalia**
and she'd always say she wanted to
meet you... meet the Shield Hero.
**[16:59] Naofumi**
Let's give her and the
others a proper send-off.
**[17:03] Naofumi**
They can't rest in peace
in a place like this.
**[17:07] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[17:09] Raphtalia**
I hate myself.
**[17:11] Raphtalia**
I couldn't protect anyone.
**[17:15] Raphtalia**
Before meeting you, I was powerless.
**[17:18] Raphtalia**
I couldn't do anything.
**[17:21] Raphtalia**
If only I was stronger,
I could've kept everyone safe!
**[17:25] Raphtalia**
They could have...
**[17:28] Keel**
You did protect us!
**[17:30] Keel**
If you hadn't come to help,
**[17:33] Keel**
I probably would've died here.
**[17:37] Keel**
And the only reason everyone hung in
there without losing hope was your smile!
**[17:43] Keel**
We decided to keep smiling,
no matter how bad things got!
**[17:46] Raphtalia**
Sorry.
**[17:48] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry, Keel-kun.
**[17:51] Raphtalia**
I can't smile like I used to.
**[17:56] Raphtalia**
I mean...
**[17:59] Raphtalia**
I ended up killing someone.
**[18:05] Naofumi**
You're wrong.
**[18:06] Raphtalia**
It was all wrong.
**[18:11] Raphtalia**
Everything I've done so far...
**[18:14] Raphtalia**
It was all a mistake!
**[18:16] Naofumi**
That's not it!
**[18:19] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[18:20] Raphtalia**
I don't have the right to walk beside you!
**[18:25] Naofumi**
You did nothing wrong!
**[18:27] Naofumi**
If I hadn't met you,
**[18:29] Naofumi**
I would've run from this world
without ever trusting anyone.
**[18:38] Naofumi**
It's because you believed in me
back then that I'm here right now,
**[18:44] Naofumi**
that I got to meet Filo and Melty.
**[18:47] Keel**
Yeah. It can't have been a mistake.
**[18:50] Keel**
I mean, you were so tiny,
and now you've met the Shield Hero,
**[18:55] Keel**
become such a cool lady,
and come back to save us!
**[19:02] Naofumi**
Look.
**[19:04] Naofumi**
You were the one who kept those kids alive.
**[19:09] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[19:12] Naofumi**
Stop crying.
**[19:15] Keel**
I'm sure Rifana-chan's happy she
got to meet the Shield Hero, too.
**[19:21] Naofumi**
From now on, we have to protect them.
**[19:24] Naofumi**
Make sure nobody goes through
what you and she did.
**[19:29] Naofumi**
Isn't that why you fought
with me for all this time?
**[19:34] Naofumi**
Together with me, the Shield Hero?
**[19:44] Raphtalia**
Yes!
**[19:51] Rifana**
Lucky you.
**[19:52] Rifana**
You're in the Shield Hero's party.
**[19:58] Raphtalia**
You must be jealous, right?
**[20:00] Rifana**
You jerk!
**[20:06] Rifana**
I'll always be watching.
**[20:08] Raphtalia**
Okay.
**[20:10] Rifana**
And one day, let's go back
to a village with that flag.
**[20:15] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[20:31] Raphtalia**
Rifana-chan,
**[20:33] Raphtalia**
I promise I'll bring back
the flag from those days...
**[20:37] Raphtalia**
Together with Naofumi-sama.
**[20:51] Van**
What's happening there?
**[20:53] Naofumi**
In order to take you back,
**[20:55] Naofumi**
demi-humans from your
domain are rioting here.
**[20:57] Naofumi**
Go let them know you're all right.
**[20:59] Van**
I will.
**[21:02] Naofumi**
What?
**[21:03] Filo**
Look there, Master!
**[21:12] Naofumi**
That guy's still alive?
**[21:15] Idol**
O Supreme God,
**[21:17] Idol**
grant me the power to rend the Devil asunder!
**[21:21] Van**
No... Don't tell me...
**[21:23] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[21:24] Van**
The heroes of the past built that
stone monument to seal a monster away.
**[21:28] Van**
Is he trying to release that seal?!
**[21:35] Idol**
Go on and destroy everything!
**[21:38] Idol**
You are free from your confines now, beast!
**[21:40] Idol**
Bring divine judgment down
upon the Devil of the Shield!
**[21:46] Idol**
Nobody can stop me now!
**[21:49] Idol**
If I can kill the Devil of the Shield,
**[21:51] Idol**
I will be eternally blessed by God!

You found the candidate who

**[02:26] Naofumi**
This place is done for.
**[02:28] Naofumi**
We're getting out of here.
**[02:29] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[02:45] Naofumi**
You okay?
**[02:46] Van**
Yes, somehow.
**[02:49] Melromarc**
I can't believe that rotten noble released
that monster just to take out Naofumi!
**[02:54] Naofumi**
Seriously.
**[02:57] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun...
**[03:00] Keel**
Raphtalia-chan...
**[03:04] Naofumi**
Okay, what now—
**[03:10] Raphtalia**
How'd it find us?
**[03:16] Naofumi**
* Shit. We're screwed if*
* it charges at us now.*
**[03:20] Filo**
You stupid...
**[03:22] Melromarc**
Filo-chan?
**[03:22] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[03:28] Melromarc**
Are you going to fight here?
**[03:30] Melromarc**
We're in the center of town, you know!
**[03:32] Naofumi**
I know! We'll lure it out of town first!
**[03:35] Melromarc**
But...
**[03:36] Melromarc**
How?
**[03:47] Melromarc**
Hey, Naofumi.
**[03:48] Naofumi**
What?
**[03:49] Melromarc**
Look at Filo-chan's belly.
**[03:53] Melromarc**
Now look at the monster.
**[03:55] Melromarc**
Maybe it's really coming after...
**[03:57] Naofumi**
Filo?
**[03:59] Melromarc**
Yes.
**[04:00] Naofumi**
Then she can lure it out of town.
**[04:03] Naofumi**
But...
**[04:04] Van**
Don't worry.
**[04:06] Van**
I'll take these kids and run.
**[04:10] Naofumi**
Thanks. Please do.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[04:16] Keel**
Say, Raphtalia-chan.
**[04:21] Keel**
You're in the Shield Hero's party,
aren't you?
**[04:27] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[04:29] Keel**
Then you should go.
**[04:33] Keel**
I'll be fine.
**[04:37] Keel**
Go on.
**[04:39] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun...
**[04:42] Van**
Rest assured.
**[04:44] Van**
I'll go meet up with my people.
**[04:47] Man**
Van-sama!
**[04:53] Raphtalia**
I understand.
**[04:56] Raphtalia**
Please take care of Keel-kun.
**[04:58] Van**
Certainly.
**[05:00] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[05:03] Filo**
Yeah!
**[05:05] Keel**
Be careful.
**[05:07] Raphtalia**
I will.
**[05:13] Raphtalia**
I'm sure we'll meet again.
**[05:17] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[05:18] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[05:19] Filo**
Roger!
**[05:32] Man**
Run away!
**[05:39] Naofumi**
That way, Filo!
**[05:41] Filo**
Gotcha!
**[05:52] Melromarc**
It really is coming after Filo-chan.
**[05:55] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[05:57] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry I gave away that bracelet.
**[06:01] Naofumi**
It's yours now. You're free to
do whatever you want with it.
**[06:17] Filo**
How far are we going?
**[06:19] Naofumi**
As far as possible.
**[06:38] Melromarc**
We're almost past the forest!
**[06:47] Naofumi**
This place will do.
**[06:53] Naofumi**
Everyone ready?
**[06:55] Raphtalia**
I'm all set to fight.
**[06:56] Filo**
I'll do my best.
**[07:03] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[07:23] Melromarc**
Zweit Aqua Slash!
**[07:33] Raphtalia**
*I can't cut it!*
**[07:35] Naofumi**
*It's slow, but we can't even scratch it!*
**[07:38] Filo**
Master, give me some footing!
**[07:43] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[07:49] Naofumi**
Second Shield!
**[08:00] Naofumi**
*It's not working!*
**[08:02] Raphtalia**
One more try!
**[08:18] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[08:20] Naofumi**
I'm fine! Keep going!
**[08:22] Raphtalia**
Got it!
**[08:25] Naofumi**
*We don't have unlimited stamina.*
**[08:28] Naofumi**
*I'll have to use the Rage Shield.*
**[08:32] Fitoria**
Don't.
**[08:34] Melromarc**
Naofumi, something seems wrong here.
**[08:41] Melromarc**
Is this...
**[08:42] Melromarc**
magic mist?
**[08:44] Melromarc**
It's a high-level magic field.
**[08:46] Naofumi**
A magic field?
**[08:48] Naofumi**
You mean we're trapped here?
**[08:53] Raphtalia**
I hear footsteps!
**[09:00] Melromarc**
Filolials?!
**[09:12] Naofumi**
What the hell?
**[09:29] Naofumi**
Damn it!
***SIGN*** Detecting transformation jamming
**[09:35] Fitoria**
Don't resort to that power.
**[09:39] Naofumi**
Who's there?
**[10:18] Melromarc**
It can't be!
**[10:19] Melromarc**
The Filolial Queen?!
**[10:21] Filo**
So cool!
**[10:24] Fitoria**
Fall back.
**[10:29] Fitoria**
Your body reacted badly to the Dragon
Emperor's fragment and grew beyond control.
**[10:34] Fitoria**
If you hand over that fragment now,
I shall spare your life.
**[10:39] Fitoria**
But begone at once!
**[10:45] Melromarc**
Watch out!
**[10:47] Fitoria**
As you wish.
**[11:03] Fitoria**
Weak.
**[11:09] Fitoria**
I'll end this at once.
**[11:33] Fitoria**
The Shield Hero, I take it?
**[11:37] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[11:39] Fitoria**
I wish to discuss many things with you,
**[11:42] Fitoria**
but I know this form isn't suitable.
**[11:44] Fitoria**
One moment.
**[12:02] Fitoria**
Now, to introduce myself.
**[12:04] Fitoria**
I am the queen of all
filolials the world over,
**[12:10] Fitoria**
Fitoria.
**[12:14] Melromarc**
Fitoria?
**[12:16] Melromarc**
You're her?
**[12:18] Naofumi**
You've heard of her?
**[12:19] Melromarc**
Of course.
**[12:20] Melromarc**
Centuries ago, a hero of the time
is said to have raised a filolial.
**[12:23] Melromarc**
Her name is legendary.
**[12:25] Naofumi**
"Centuries ago"?
**[12:27] Naofumi**
So she inherited the name?
**[12:30] Fitoria**
No, I have always been Fitoria.
**[12:34] Filo**
Will I also be as big as her one day?
**[12:37] Naofumi**
I couldn't feed you if you grew
*that* big, so you'd be on your own.
**[12:42] Fitoria**
That would take dozens of times
longer than a normal filolial's lifespan,
**[12:47] Fitoria**
so don't worry yourself over it.
**[12:50] Naofumi**
*In other words, she's lived that long?*
**[12:53] Fitoria**
It's your turn to introduce yourselves,
Shield Hero's party.
**[12:58] Naofumi**
Iwatani Naofumi.
**[12:59] Fitoria**
Okay.
**[13:00] Raphtalia**
I'm Raphtalia. Nice to meet you.
**[13:04] Fitoria**
Likewise.
**[13:05] Filo**
My name is Filo.
**[13:11] Fitoria**
We've met before, haven't we?
**[13:13] Fitoria**
Thank you for your help that time.
**[13:16] Melromarc**
No problem. I'm Melty Melromarc.
**[13:18] Melromarc**
It's a pleasure to meet you again.
**[13:20] Fitoria**
Mel-tan, then.
**[13:22] Melromarc**
Mel... tan?
**[13:24] Naofumi**
You've met before?
**[13:26] Melromarc**
Yes. I ran into her on the way back to
the capital after a diplomatic visit.
**[13:30] Naofumi**
So you've made a habit of that, huh?
**[13:33] Naofumi**
Anyway, I'm grateful that
you took out that monster.
**[13:38] Naofumi**
But what do you want with us?
**[13:39] Fitoria**
It's a long story, and this
isn't a great place for a chat.
**[13:44] Fitoria**
Let me take you somewhere more suitable.
**[13:48] Naofumi**
Wait, before that...
**[13:52] Fitoria**
I don't like a Cardinal Hero using
dragon material in his equipment.
**[13:56] Naofumi**
It serves as precious fodder
to develop my shield.
**[14:00] Fitoria**
And I already sense an ominous
aura in your shield.
**[14:04] Fitoria**
Curse powers are certainly immense,
but so are their consequences.
**[14:08] Fitoria**
You mustn't use them.
**[14:10] Naofumi**
It's not a problem. I have it under control.
**[14:12] Fitoria**
Not for long.
**[14:15] Naofumi**
Regardless, I need dragon material and
the Rage Shield in order to survive.
**[14:22] Fitoria**
Fine. Do as you wish.
**[14:29] Naofumi**
That does it.
**[14:31] Fitoria**
Are you finished?
**[14:33] Naofumi**
Yeah. But the rest of this...
**[14:36] Fitoria**
I'll order my family to bring it along.
**[14:39] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[14:40] Fitoria**
Get in the carriage.
**[14:42] Fitoria**
I'll need you to answer several
questions when we get there.
**[14:47] Fitoria**
Portal.
**[14:54] Raphtalia**
Wh-What just happened?
**[14:57] Melromarc**
Did we travel instantly?
**[15:00] Naofumi**
Wow.
**[15:02] Naofumi**
Ruins, huh?
**[15:04] Raphtalia**
You can practically feel their history.
**[15:07] Filo**
What a dump.
**[15:09] Fitoria**
I hear it's considered the remains of the
civilization the original heroes defended.
**[15:13] Naofumi**
You don't sound very sure.
**[15:16] Fitoria**
It existed before I was born. For what
it's worth, I'm watching over it.
**[15:21] Melromarc**
Is this a filolial sanctuary?
**[15:24] Fitoria**
Yes. I'm not supposed to bring humans here.
**[15:28] Melromarc**
Wow...
**[15:30] Naofumi**
Then I guess we'll be safe
here for the time being.
**[15:36] Fitoria**
I think you should get some rest.
**[15:41] Naofumi**
Let's take a break, then.
**[15:43] Filo**
Yay!
**[15:45] Melromarc**
That was one long day.
**[15:49] Raphtalia**
I wonder if Keel-kun and the
other kids are all right.
**[15:51] Naofumi**
They've got Van and those
demi-humans with them.
**[15:54] Naofumi**
They should be fine.
**[15:55] Raphtalia**
You're right.
**[15:57] Naofumi**
First, let's eat.
**[15:59] Naofumi**
I bet you're all hungry.
**[16:11] Filo**
Time to dig in!
**[16:15] Melromarc**
U-Uh, you know...
**[16:19] Raphtalia**
I feel too guilty to eat.
**[16:22] Naofumi**
Same here.
**[16:24] Filo**
Isn't it yummy?
**[16:26] Fitoria**
It's great.
**[16:27] Melromarc**
They're like sisters.
**[16:29] Naofumi**
Right? They even eat in
the same sloppy manner.
**[16:33] Raphtalia**
Um, Naofumi-sama?
**[16:41] Naofumi**
God, fine! I'll make you some!
**[16:45] Naofumi**
Bring me some huge pots
and a ton of ingredients!
**[16:56] Naofumi**
Why'd I even have to feed this KFC farm?
**[17:01] Naofumi**
What? You're not getting any seconds.
**[17:05] Fitoria**
I know.
**[17:06] Fitoria**
It's time to talk.
**[17:15] Fitoria**
I want to know how that monster
was released from its seal.
**[17:20] Naofumi**
I thought you came to save
us because you knew.
**[17:23] Fitoria**
I was there because I was told a new
queen candidate had been found.
**[17:29] Naofumi**
A queen candidate? You mean Filo?
**[17:32] Fitoria**
Yup.
**[17:33] Naofumi**
Can I ask you something?
**[17:35] Fitoria**
What?
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Why is Filo growing so differently
than other filolials?
**[17:42] Fitoria**
That's because...
**[17:46] Fitoria**
a hero is raising her.
**[17:50] Fitoria**
Tell me. Why was the seal removed?
**[18:03] Naofumi**
What?
**[18:05] Fitoria**
I'm appalled at you Cardinal Heroes
**[18:09] Fitoria**
for squabbling with the Wave nearly here.
**[18:12] Naofumi**
Hey, they started it!
**[18:15] Fitoria**
I know the Shield Hero has always been
scorned by human supremacist countries.
**[18:19] Naofumi**
Then you should understand.
**[18:21] Naofumi**
That's why we're trying
to cross the border—
**[18:23] Fitoria**
That won't solve a thing.
**[18:26] Fitoria**
Talk it out.
**[18:28] Fitoria**
As much as humans and demi-humans
might hate each other,
**[18:30] Fitoria**
it is unacceptable for
heroes to be fighting.
**[18:42] Fitoria**
Don't you Cardinal Heroes
know about the hourglass?
**[18:47] Naofumi**
You mean the dragon hourglass?
**[18:49] Naofumi**
We do know about it.
**[18:51] Fitoria**
Then why aren't you fighting
Waves across the world?
**[18:56] Naofumi**
Are you saying the Waves happen
outside of Melromarc, too?
**[19:02] Fitoria**
The Four Cardinal Heroes are meant
to be summoned to one country each
**[19:06] Fitoria**
and help them fight the Waves.
**[19:08] Naofumi**
First I've heard of that.
**[19:11] Fitoria**
I'm going wherever I'm asked.
**[19:14] Fitoria**
But you four aren't taking
part in any other battles.
**[19:17] Naofumi**
Hell, I only found out recently that other
countries had their own hourglasses.
**[19:21] Fitoria**
Honestly, I don't care about
what happens to humans.
**[19:25] Fitoria**
I fight because the hero
who raised me asked me to.
**[19:30] Naofumi**
A hero asked you to?
**[19:32] Fitoria**
My job is to protect the world.
**[19:36] Naofumi**
* She wants to save the world when*
* she doesn't care about humans?*
**[19:40] Fitoria**
But I can't protect it all by myself.
I need the heroes.
**[19:45] Naofumi**
But you seem far more capable than us.
**[19:49] Fitoria**
Maybe I am now.
**[19:51] Fitoria**
But eventually,
**[19:54] Fitoria**
I won't be able to save a thing.
**[19:58] Naofumi**
And that's why you need the heroes?
**[20:01] Fitoria**
Exactly.
**[20:12] Ren**
Is this the place?
**[20:14] Itsuki**
Looks like it.
**[20:27] Itsuki**
Yeah, it definitely seems like the
Three Heroes Church is hiding something.
**[20:32] Ren**
I can't believe Naofumi was right.
**[20:43] Itsuki**
Is this an archive?
**[20:47] Itsuki**
Let's check it out.
**[20:55] Myne**
Keep your noses out of this!
**[20:58] Naofumi**
You're telling me to make
up with those guys?
**[21:01] Fitoria**
Heroes are supposed to work together.
**[21:04] Fitoria**
That is an absolute necessity
in order to protect the world.
**[21:08] Naofumi**
Not happening.
**[21:09] Naofumi**
That country, along with those guys,
is trying to get rid of me.
**[21:13] Fitoria**
I've heard the gist of
what's been happening.
**[21:15] Fitoria**
But heroes mustn't fight among themselves.
**[21:18] Naofumi**
You seem rather obsessed with that.
**[21:21] Fitoria**
Because it's unacceptable, that's why.
**[21:24] Naofumi**
They don't wanna play nice.
It's a lost cause now.
**[21:29] Fitoria**
Are you sure?
**[21:31] Naofumi**
Absolutely.
**[21:33] Fitoria**
I see.
**[21:34] Fitoria**
Very well, then.
**[21:38] Fitoria**
It was all so long ago that
my memory of it has faded,
**[21:44] Fitoria**
but I do still remember
the right thing to do.
**[21:48] Fitoria**
If the heroes are fighting each other
**[21:52] Fitoria**
instead of the Waves of Catastrophe,
**[21:59] Fitoria**
then for the sake of the world,
**[22:02] Fitoria**
I must kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.

If the heroes are fighting each other
**[00:11] (Flashback) Fitoria**
instead of the Waves of Catastrophe,
**[00:15] (Flashback) Fitoria**
then for the sake of the world,
**[00:17] (Flashback) Fitoria**
I must kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[00:20] Naofumi**
"Kill the Four Cardinal Heroes," eh?
**[00:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[00:26] Filo**
Not yet!
**[00:28] Naofumi**
Never mind. It's nothing.
**[00:34] Raphtalia**
They've really taken to you.
**[00:37] Melromarc**
Right?
**[00:45] Fitoria**
Liberation: Wind Prison.
**[00:53] Naofumi**
Melty!
**[00:56] Melromarc**
What's going on?
**[01:02] Filo**
What are you doing to Mel-chan?!
**[01:05] Fitoria**
Mel-tan,
**[01:06] Fitoria**
I need you to be my hostage.
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[02:41] Naofumi**
"Hostage"?
***SIGN*** A Promise Made
**[02:42] Naofumi**
What's the meaning of this?
**[02:44] Fitoria**
Shield Hero, promise me.
**[02:47] Fitoria**
Promise me you'll make up
with the other heroes.
**[02:50] Filo**
Let Mel-chan out of there!
**[02:52] Naofumi**
And if I don't,
**[02:54] Naofumi**
you're threatening to hurt Melty?
**[02:58] Naofumi**
I thought I told you it wasn't happening!
**[03:00] Fitoria**
Even still, I must ask you to.
**[03:04] Naofumi**
Why are you so obsessed with
the heroes working together?
**[03:07] Fitoria**
Because I made a promise
to the hero who raised me.
**[03:12] Fitoria**
And because the heroes *must* cooperate
**[03:15] Fitoria**
in order to save the world from the Waves.
**[03:19] Fitoria**
Please.
**[03:21] Naofumi**
It doesn't matter how many times you ask.
**[03:23] Naofumi**
I have no intention of
reconciling with those morons.
**[03:26] Fitoria**
In that case, new heroes
will have to be summoned.
**[03:30] Fitoria**
And to enable that, I'll kill
all the current heroes.
**[03:37] Naofumi**
So that's what you meant last night?
**[03:39] Fitoria**
That will help the world in the long run.
**[03:43] Naofumi**
*Yeah, doing that would be easy for her.*
**[03:47] Fitoria**
Please reconcile with the other heroes.
**[03:52] Naofumi**
Even then,
**[03:55] Naofumi**
I can't do it.
**[03:57] Naofumi**
You don't need to take Melty hostage.
**[04:00] Naofumi**
If you want to kill me, feel free.
**[04:03] Naofumi**
But...
**[04:04] Melromarc**
Naofumi!
**[04:04] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[04:06] Naofumi**
Just know that I'm not going
down without a fight!
**[04:11] Fitoria**
Don't.
***SIGN*** Detecting transformation jamming
**[04:17] Naofumi**
Not again!
**[04:18] Fitoria**
I understand how you feel, Shield Hero.
**[04:21] Naofumi**
What?
**[04:22] Fitoria**
If that's how it is, prove to me that
**[04:26] Fitoria**
you and your party can
fight the Waves alone.
**[04:31] Raphtalia**
Prove to you?
**[04:32] Naofumi**
How do we do that?
**[04:34] Naofumi**
By fighting you right here and now?
**[04:37] Fitoria**
Shield Hero, I more or less
know how strong you are.
**[04:42] Fitoria**
I want a one-on-one with Filo.
**[04:45] Filo**
Me?
**[04:47] Fitoria**
If you prove to me that you're strong,
I'll release Mel-tan.
**[04:52] Fitoria**
And I won't kill the heroes for a while.
**[04:55] Fitoria**
I'll give you time.
**[04:59] Filo**
I don't really understand, but if
I win, Master won't be killed,
**[05:03] Filo**
and Mel-chan will be freed too, right?
**[05:05] Naofumi**
Wait.
**[05:06] Naofumi**
Hang on, Filo—
**[05:07] Filo**
Then I'll fight.
**[05:09] Fitoria**
I'll fight in this form,
**[05:11] Fitoria**
so you fight me in human form too, Filo.
**[05:16] Filo**
Gotcha.
**[05:17] Naofumi**
I said wait!
**[05:21] Fitoria**
This way.
**[05:34] Filo**
Here I come.
**[05:35] Fitoria**
Whenever you're ready.
**[05:45] Filo**
You're slow.
**[05:52] Filo**
Huh?
**[05:54] Raphtalia**
Filo! Above you!
**[06:00] Melromarc**
Filo-chan!
**[06:05] Filo**
Ow...
**[06:08] Naofumi**
* Why did Fitoria choose to fight*
* Filo and not Raphtalia?*
**[06:13] Naofumi**
*And why are they fighting in human form?*
**[06:17] Naofumi**
Damn it.
**[06:18] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[06:19] Naofumi**
Don't just charge in blindly!
**[06:22] Naofumi**
Use your head!
**[06:24] Filo**
Master...
**[06:26] Naofumi**
And regenerate your clothes
when you have the chance!
**[06:29] Naofumi**
Pour your mana into it and increase
your defense as much as you can!
**[06:35] Filo**
Gotcha!
**[06:37] Filo**
As source of your powers, Filo orders you.
**[06:40] Filo**
Decipher the laws of nature
**[06:42] Filo**
and blow my target away with
a vicious vacuum burst.
**[06:46] Filo**
Zweit Tornado!
**[06:50] Fitoria**
Nullify the vacuum burst.
**[06:54] Fitoria**
Anti-Zweit Tornado!
**[06:59] Melromarc**
Watch out! It's jamming magic!
**[07:03] Fitoria**
You're wide open.
**[07:12] Raphtalia**
She has no time to regenerate
her clothes at all.
**[07:20] Naofumi**
Melty.
**[07:22] Naofumi**
Filo's in trouble if this keeps up.
**[07:25] Naofumi**
I'll try to get rid of
this cage with my shield.
**[07:35] Melromarc**
Naofumi!
**[07:36] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[07:40] Naofumi**
* She cut through the shield's*
* defense with ease!*
**[07:42] Filo**
Master!
**[07:44] Fitoria**
Eyes on me.
**[07:48] Fitoria**
He got what he deserved for trying
to cheat and rescue Mel-tan.
**[07:53] Fitoria**
But do you know why he did that?
**[07:56] Fitoria**
Because you're weak.
**[08:00] Fitoria**
What do you fight for?
**[08:03] Filo**
Isn't that obvious?
**[08:05] Filo**
For Master!
**[08:08] Fitoria**
You couldn't beat the dragon last night,
you can't beat me now,
**[08:12] Fitoria**
and you expect to be useful
to the Shield Hero?
**[08:15] Filo**
I'm not gonna lose!
**[08:17] Filo**
I'm gonna become strong for Master!
**[08:20] Fitoria**
Not with such a shallow will!
**[08:32] Raphtalia**
Are you all right, Naofumi-sama?
**[08:34] Naofumi**
Yeah, somehow.
**[08:36] Filo**
I won't let Master get hurt any more.
**[08:39] Filo**
I'll...
**[08:41] Filo**
I'll be much, much stronger!
**[08:45] Fitoria**
Really?
**[08:54] Raphtalia**
What is she...
**[08:55] Melromarc**
Is she absorbing the mana
particles in the air?
**[08:59] Melromarc**
Is that even possible?
**[09:03] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[09:05] Filo**
Master...
**[09:07] Naofumi**
I'm fine.
**[09:09] Naofumi**
Calm down, and watch her attacks closely.
**[09:13] Naofumi**
I know you can do it!
**[09:17] (Flashback) Sword Hero**
I know you can do it.
**[09:21] Filo**
Yeah!
**[09:27] Fitoria**
Too slow.
**[09:29] Filo**
Okay, but I'll still beat you!
**[09:35] Filo**
Spiral...
**[09:37] Filo**
Strike!
**[09:45] Filo**
Go!
**[09:49] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[10:06] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[10:08] Raphtalia**
Did you see that magic
attack Filo just used?
**[10:10] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[10:15] Filo**
I...
**[10:20] Filo**
I won't lose.
**[10:24] Filo**
Master, I'll grow stronger.
**[10:30] Filo**
Strong enough to protect you, Mel-chan,
**[10:33] Filo**
and Raphtalia-oneechan.
**[10:36] Filo**
Strong enough to protect everyone.
**[10:42] Fitoria**
Okay.
**[10:44] Filo**
So...
**[10:46] Filo**
I'll never lose.
**[10:51] Fitoria**
That's enough, Filo.
**[10:53] Fitoria**
You win.
**[10:57] Fitoria**
I'll free Mel-tan.
**[11:00] Fitoria**
You did well.
**[11:02] Melromarc**
Filo-chan!
**[11:11] Filo**
Mel-chan...
**[11:14] Filo**
Master...
**[11:16] Filo**
I won.
**[11:19] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[11:20] Naofumi**
You did amazing, Filo.
**[11:32] Fitoria**
You did well to pass the trial.
**[11:36] Naofumi**
Filo, you were being tested.
**[11:40] Fitoria**
Yes.
**[11:41] Fitoria**
If you hadn't passed it, you would've died.
**[11:45] Fitoria**
And the Shield Hero would have, too.
**[11:52] Filo**
What is that?
**[11:53] Fitoria**
A symbol proving that you overcame my trial.
**[11:58] Fitoria**
Lower your head.
**[12:05] Fitoria**
Filo, I appoint you my successor.
**[12:10] Filo**
Successor?
**[12:13] Naofumi**
You mean she'll become
the next filolial queen?
**[12:17] Melromarc**
That's amazing, Filo-chan!
**[12:25] Raphtalia**
Is that the symbol of being next in line?
**[12:28] Naofumi**
*It's just a cowlick!*
**[12:30] Melromarc**
C-Cute!
**[12:32] Filo**
Something weird grew on my head!
**[12:35] Filo**
Get it off!
**[12:40] Melromarc**
It grew back!
**[12:42] Fitoria**
And it'll keep growing back,
so get used to it.
**[12:46] Fitoria**
And you'll gain more of them as you grow.
**[12:49] Filo**
Am I gonna look like you?
**[12:54] Naofumi**
*Her stats have increased.*
**[12:56] Naofumi**
* Does that cowlick increase her*
* base numbers across the board?*
**[13:00] Naofumi**
* Since Filo's level is capped right now,*
* this is perfect for her.*
**[13:04] Fitoria**
I also have something for you, Shield Hero.
**[13:06] Naofumi**
For me?
**[13:07] Naofumi**
I don't want a cowlick!
**[13:08] Raphtalia**
What's a cowlick?
**[13:10] Fitoria**
It's something better.
**[13:12] Fitoria**
I'll heal your wounds, too.
**[13:19] Fitoria**
Now show me your shield.
**[13:22] Naofumi**
Like this?
***SIGN*** Shields were force unlocked
**[13:30] Naofumi**
Force unlocked?
**[13:33] Naofumi**
* I can't use many of them because*
* my level's not high enough,*
**[13:36] Naofumi**
* but it looks like the entire*
* Filolial Series has been unlocked.*
**[13:39] Naofumi**
*Now I just have to meet their requirements.*
**[13:42] Naofumi**
Well, thank you.
**[13:44] Fitoria**
You're welcome.
**[13:46] Fitoria**
But I still have something I wish
to discuss with you in private.
**[13:50] Naofumi**
There's more?
**[13:51] Melromarc**
Uh...
**[13:54] Melromarc**
You didn't use us just to
test Filo-chan, did you?
**[14:01] Fitoria**
I did. I feel bad for what I did to you.
**[14:05] Fitoria**
Is there anything you desire?
**[14:07] Melromarc**
Huh?
**[14:08] Melromarc**
W-Well, you see...
**[14:11] Melromarc**
You know...
**[14:23] Melromarc**
Wow, amazing! I'm so high up!
**[14:27] Melromarc**
Ah, I'm living the dream!
**[14:30] Naofumi**
Is a ride really all she wanted?
**[14:34] Filo**
I wanna be really big soon, too!
**[14:37] Naofumi**
Who knows how many cowlicks
you'll have by then?
**[14:41] Filo**
No!
**[14:48] Melromarc**
That was so much fun!
**[14:50] Fitoria**
The day has only just begun.
**[14:53] Fitoria**
Get some more rest before you leave.
**[14:57] Melromarc**
But...
**[14:59] Naofumi**
Well, if Fitoria's offering, why not accept?
**[15:03] Melromarc**
Really?
**[15:04] Fitoria**
This is a celebration, after all.
**[15:06] Fitoria**
We need to show you some
real hospitality as well.
**[15:12] Filo**
A party to celebrate the
appointment of a new queen?
**[15:15] Filo**
You mean me?
**[15:16] Filo**
Don't go making decisions for me!
**[15:18] Melromarc**
Congratulations, Filo-chan.
**[15:26] Raphtalia**
Me too?
**[16:21] Naofumi**
Picking up where you left
off this afternoon?
**[16:23] Fitoria**
Did you really try to make up with them?
**[16:26] Naofumi**
Not this again.
**[16:28] Fitoria**
Did you try to clear your name?
**[16:32] Naofumi**
Well...
**[16:45] Naofumi**
I guess I didn't bother,
thinking they'd never believe me.
**[16:52] Fitoria**
If you don't tell them they're wrong,
you're basically admitting your guilt.
**[16:57] Naofumi**
Maybe.
**[16:59] Fitoria**
I'm going to drop you off close
**[17:02] Fitoria**
to another hero when I take you back.
**[17:05] Naofumi**
You're coming with us?
**[17:07] Fitoria**
I won't involve myself any further.
**[17:10] Fitoria**
Show me you four are worthy
of my involvement.
**[17:14] Naofumi**
You want me to talk it out
right then and there, right? Got it.
**[17:19] Naofumi**
I'll try my best.
**[17:22] Naofumi**
Is that all?
**[17:23] Fitoria**
No, there's more.
**[17:25] Fitoria**
If even one Cardinal Hero is
missing when a Wave hits,
**[17:28] Fitoria**
fighting it off will be
exponentially more difficult.
**[17:31] Fitoria**
If that looks likely, it's better to
kill you all and summon new heroes.
**[17:37] Naofumi**
So if all four of us don't
talk it out and reconcile,
**[17:41] Naofumi**
you'll kill us anyway, huh?
**[17:50] Fitoria**
I can't tell you after how
many Waves it will happen,
**[17:54] Fitoria**
but there will come a time when the
world demands sacrifices from all life.
**[17:57] Naofumi**
The world will demand sacrifices?
**[18:00] Fitoria**
The heroes will be forced to choose
what they fight for in that battle.
**[18:05] Fitoria**
I'm waiting for that time to come.
**[18:08] Naofumi**
Choose what we fight for?
**[18:10] Fitoria**
Will you fight for the world,
or will you fight for its people?
**[18:14] Fitoria**
If you choose the world,
many lives will be lost.
**[18:19] Fitoria**
But you'll be able to fulfill your duty.
**[18:23] Naofumi**
And what if we choose the people?
**[18:27] Fitoria**
It'll be a thorny path.
**[18:31] Naofumi**
How much do you know?
**[18:33] Fitoria**
There is a lot I have forgotten,
**[18:36] Fitoria**
but there is one thing I remember.
**[18:39] Fitoria**
Saving the world isn't the
same as saving its people.
**[18:43] Fitoria**
Past heroes wished for their
successors to save the people.
**[18:48] Naofumi**
Not that I get it, but it makes sense for
heroes of the people to choose them.
**[18:53] Fitoria**
You can't do it as you are now.
**[18:55] Fitoria**
You can't overcome all
those hurdles by yourself.
**[19:01] Naofumi**
Why are you telling me all this?
**[19:04] Naofumi**
Wouldn't it be easier to
convince another hero?
**[19:11] Fitoria**
I rate you higher than the other heroes.
**[19:16] Naofumi**
Why?
**[19:17] Fitoria**
You raised Filo, the next queen.
**[19:21] Fitoria**
You couldn't possibly be a bad guy.
**[19:24] Naofumi**
I am a bad guy.
**[19:25] Fitoria**
If you say so.
**[19:28] Fitoria**
I believe you have it in you
**[19:31] Fitoria**
to talk it out with the other heroes.
**[19:35] Fitoria**
Besides, you four heroes are far too weak.
**[19:39] Fitoria**
Even if I don't kill you personally,
you'll die sooner rather than later.
**[19:44] Naofumi**
Are the upcoming battles
going to be that rough?
**[19:47] Naofumi**
Then I'll need the Rage Shield
more than ever.
**[19:52] Fitoria**
If you absolutely must use that shield...
**[20:00] Naofumi**
What's happening?
***SIGN*** Barbarian Armor +1
**[20:05] Fitoria**
That will slow down the
Curse Shield's corrosion.
**[20:09] Fitoria**
But it won't completely stop it,
**[20:12] Fitoria**
so try to avoid using it as much as you can.
**[20:14] Naofumi**
After all that talk about killing me?
**[20:17] Naofumi**
I guess you're just really nice, Fitoria.
**[20:22] (Flashback) Sword Hero**
You're really nice,
**[20:23] (Flashback) Sword Hero**
Fitoria.
**[20:30] Naofumi**
Well, given you're doing all this for me,
I guess I'll give it my best shot.
**[20:34] Naofumi**
But don't get your hopes up.
**[20:39] Naofumi**
Could you get off?
**[20:42] Fitoria**
Please, Shield Hero.
**[20:47] Naofumi**
Hey, was it the Shield Hero who raised you?
**[20:51] Fitoria**
I forgot.
**[20:53] Fitoria**
Filolials have short memories.
**[20:58] Naofumi**
I see.
**[21:04] Fitoria**
*But I remember this gentle touch.*
**[22:51] Itsuki**
This is the place.
**[22:58] Ren**
Here's where the Four Cardinal Weapons'...
**[23:00] Itsuki**
Yes. There's no doubt about it.
**[23:11] Ren**
Hey, what's the meaning of this?
**[23:13] Ren**
It's empty!
**[23:18] Itsuki**
It can't be.
**[23:19] Itsuki**
Everyone, run away!

The time is upon us.
**[00:08] Priest**
Our long-held wish shall be fulfilled.
**[00:25] Raphtalia**
Thank you for bringing us this far, Fitoria-san.
**[00:30] Melromarc**
And for the new wagon.
**[00:32] Raphtalia**
Filo really loves pulling one.
**[00:45] Filo**
It's mine now, okay?
**[00:49] Naofumi**
No, it's not.
**[00:52] Naofumi**
Fitoria...
**[00:54] Naofumi**
Is another hero nearby?
**[00:57] Fitoria**
Yeah. I sense one.
**[01:00] Naofumi**
I see.
**[01:01] Fitoria**
Shield Hero...
**[01:04] Fitoria**
Take care of her.
**[01:07] Fitoria**
And keep your promise.
**[01:11] Naofumi**
Yeah, I'll do what I can.

**[03:20] Raphtalia**
If only we could get past that wall,
we could cross the border.
**[03:25] Melromarc**
Any other routes we could take, Raphtalia-san?
**[03:29] Raphtalia**
Taking a detour would
cost us a few more days.
**[03:34] Melromarc**
Fitoria-san said there was
another hero nearby, right?
**[03:38] Melromarc**
It might be better to take a detour anyway.
**[03:42] Raphtalia**
What will we do, Naofumi-sama?
**[03:46] (Flashback) Fitoria**
Did you really try to make up with them?
**[03:49] (Flashback) Fitoria**
If you don't tell them they're wrong,
you're basically admitting your guilt.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Fitoria**
Shield Hero... keep your promise.
**[03:59] Naofumi**
We'll head down to the checkpoint.
**[04:01] Naofumi**
If it's Itsuki or Ren there, we'll talk
to them and have them let us through.
**[04:05] Melromarc**
And what if they refuse?
**[04:08] Naofumi**
Then we'll force our way through.
**[04:11] Melromarc**
Okay.
**[04:15] Melromarc**
What?
**[04:16] Naofumi**
Well...
**[04:17] Naofumi**
I thought you'd try to stop me because
it could make my reputation worse.
**[04:21] Melromarc**
There are guys like Idol who want to kill you, even if they have to summon a monster.
**[04:27] Melromarc**
This isn't the time to be
worrying about appearances.
**[04:30] Naofumi**
True that.
**[04:33] Naofumi**
Get ready. We're leaving.
**[04:35] All**
Okay!
**[04:42] Man**
Th-That's...
**[04:55] Filo**
Master...
**[04:58] Filo**
I see the spear guy.
**[05:01] Naofumi**
I get the guy least likely
to hear me out, huh?
**[05:05] Raphtalia**
What now?
**[05:06] Naofumi**
It's too late to turn back.
**[05:08] Naofumi**
Keep going.
**[05:15] Naofumi**
Motoyasu, listen to me.
**[05:18] Naofumi**
We're not here to fight.
**[05:21] Naofumi**
All we ask is that you let us through.
**[05:24] Motoyasu**
Is that all?
**[05:27] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[05:29] Motoyasu**
Is that all you have to say,
**[05:30] Motoyasu**
Devil of the Shield?!
**[05:37] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[05:39] Naofumi**
Who attacks someone without
even listening to them first?
**[05:42] Motoyasu**
You're still using your brainwashing shield
to enslave Filo and Raphtalia-chan.
**[05:48] Motoyasu**
How despicable!
**[05:50] Naofumi**
That shield doesn't exist!
**[05:51] Motoyasu**
Don't try to talk your way out of this!
**[05:56] (Flashback) Fitoria**
Heroes are supposed to work together.
**[06:00] Naofumi**
Hear me out, Motoyasu!
**[06:02] Naofumi**
I don't want to fight you!
**[06:04] Naofumi**
Hell, even last time—
**[06:06] Motoyasu**
Maybe I was summoned to this world...
**[06:09] Motoyasu**
to stop you!
**[06:14] Motoyasu**
Meteor Thrust!
**[06:32] Motoyasu**
You still won't go down?
**[06:34] Motoyasu**
You're stubborn if nothing else,
you damned devil.
**[06:36] Filo**
Master!
**[06:40] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, you can't talk
anything out when he's like this!
**[06:43] Naofumi**
*This guy...*
**[06:45] Naofumi**
*Why is he doing this?*
**[06:49] Naofumi**
Hey, Motoyasu.
**[06:51] Naofumi**
Why are you so mad?
**[06:53] Naofumi**
Is it because I ran away last time?
Did it piss you off that much?
**[06:57] Motoyasu**
To you...
**[07:00] Motoyasu**
Were Ren and Itsuki that
insignificant to you?
**[07:04] Motoyasu**
I finally understand that
you really are a devil!
**[07:08] Naofumi**
What?
**[07:09] Motoyasu**
You tricked us by saying
we were on the same team
**[07:12] Motoyasu**
as heroes, and then...
**[07:16] Motoyasu**
You...
**[07:18] Motoyasu**
You are the scum of the earth!
**[07:23] Motoyasu**
I will make you pay!
**[07:27] Naofumi**
Hey, what did I even do?
**[07:30] Motoyasu**
Search your feelings!
**[07:31] Motoyasu**
You'll know!
**[07:32] Naofumi**
*He's seriously trying to kill me!*
**[07:37] Motoyasu**
I'll make you pay.
**[07:39] Motoyasu**
I'll make you pay for
killing Itsuki and Ren!
**[07:48] Naofumi**
I killed them?
**[07:50] Naofumi**
What are you talking about?
**[07:51] Motoyasu**
Trying to play dumb, you accursed devil?
**[07:58] Motoyasu**
You should know why I'm so angry and hurt!
**[08:01] Motoyasu**
You killed them both!
**[08:05] Motoyasu**
And yet, you...
**[08:08] Melromarc**
What is the meaning of this?
**[08:10] Melromarc**
The heroes of the Bow and Sword were killed?
**[08:13] Motoyasu**
You used your brainwashing
shield on Princess Melty, too?
**[08:16] Motoyasu**
You filthy swine!
**[08:18] Naofumi**
Again, I have no such thing!
**[08:21] Naofumi**
*If Motoyasu is telling the truth...*
**[08:24] (Flashback) Fitoria**
If even one Cardinal Hero is
missing when a Wave hits,
**[08:27] (Flashback) Fitoria**
fighting it off will be
exponentially more difficult.
**[08:31] Naofumi**
Listen up, Motoyasu.
**[08:34] Naofumi**
I haven't killed Ren or Itsuki!
I have no need to!
**[08:37] Motoyasu**
What?
**[08:38] Naofumi**
Did you see their bodies for yourself?
**[08:42] Naofumi**
You didn't, huh?
**[08:44] Naofumi**
Then it may be a lie—
**[08:45] Myne**
It's reliable information
from an agent of the Church.
**[08:49] Myne**
They said the Devil of the Shield unleashed
a monster sealed in the center of town
**[08:53] Myne**
and killed Itsuki-sama and Ren-sama
while they were distracted.
**[08:57] Raphtalia**
What?
**[08:59] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama, be wary of
his brainwashing shield.
**[09:02] Myne**
Don't let the devil sway you with his words.
**[09:05] Motoyasu**
Yeah, I know.
**[09:07] Motoyasu**
I won't be fooled!
**[09:10] Naofumi**
Why is she always like this?
**[09:14] Filo**
Mel-chan?
**[09:15] Melromarc**
Sister, you didn't.
**[09:18] Naofumi**
Did you kill Ren and Itsuki?!
**[09:20] Myne**
Now, it is time to battle.
**[09:32] Raphtalia**
What's this?
**[09:33] Melromarc**
A Lightning Cage?!
**[09:35] Myne**
Indeed. An item that seals caster and target
**[09:39] Myne**
in an impregnable lightning prison.
**[09:42] Motoyasu**
You're not getting away!
**[09:43] Motoyasu**
I will avenge their deaths!
**[09:46] Naofumi**
Calm down and think this through, Motoyasu!
**[09:48] Naofumi**
Are you going to believe something
without confirming it for yourself?
**[09:52] Motoyasu**
I believe in my trustworthy friends!
**[09:56] Naofumi**
*What a clown!*
**[09:58] Naofumi**
*He's dancing in the palm of her hand!*
**[10:01] Motoyasu**
Here I come!
**[10:09] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[10:18] Naofumi**
*Our levels are too far apart!*
**[10:20] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[10:21] Filo**
'Kay!
**[10:23] Myne**
Oh no, you don't.
**[10:25] Myne**
As source of thy power and the
next queen, I order thee.
**[10:29] Naofumi**
That's one haughty incantation.
**[10:31] Myne**
Decipher the laws of creation and
drench my targets in a rain of flame!
**[10:37] Myne**
Zweit Fire Squall!
**[10:43] Melromarc**
Nullify the flames raining
down upon my targets!
**[10:48] Melromarc**
Anti-Zweit Fire Squall!
**[10:53] Melromarc**
Naofumi!
**[10:55] Naofumi**
You ready, Filo?
**[10:56] Filo**
Yeah!
**[11:03] Adventurer**
Not so fast!
**[11:04] Adventurer**
Zweit Air Shot!
**[11:24] Melromarc**
Amazing.
**[11:26] Raphtalia**
That's the move she picked up in
the duel with Fitoria-san.
**[11:29] Raphtalia**
She's already making good use of it!
**[11:31] Motoyasu**
Forgive me, Filo-chan.
**[11:33] Motoyasu**
I must fight for Ren and Itsuki,
even if it means hurting you.
**[11:49] Motoyasu**
Meteor Thrust!
**[11:56] Motoyasu**
I'm not done yet!
**[11:58] Motoyasu**
Chaos Spear!
**[12:01] Motoyasu**
Myne! Guys!
**[12:03] Myne**
Zweit Fire!
**[12:05] Adventurer**
Zweit Air Shot!
**[12:11] Motoyasu**
Behold this combo skill involving
fire, wind, and my spear!
**[12:17] Motoyasu**
Air-Burst Flare Lance!
**[12:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[12:29] Adventurer**
Zweit Air Shot!
**[12:32] Melromarc**
Zweit Aqua Shot!
**[12:37] Myne**
Melty...
**[12:39] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[12:43] Naofumi**
Is this... a combo skill?
**[12:47] Naofumi**
You saw their attack just now, right?
**[12:50] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[12:51] Motoyasu**
Raphtalia-chan.
**[12:53] Motoyasu**
If you continue to side with him,
I won't show you any mercy, either.
**[12:57] Raphtalia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[13:00] Raphtalia**
Decipher the laws of nature
and conceal my target.
**[13:04] Raphtalia**
First Hiding!
**[13:06] Naofumi**
Hiding Shield!
**[13:14] Naofumi**
Change Shield!
**[13:20] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[13:27] Motoyasu**
He drained my SP?
**[13:30] Motoyasu**
Who do you think I am?!
**[13:33] Motoyasu**
I don't need to use any skills!
**[13:35] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[13:37] Filo**
High Quick!
**[13:42] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[13:44] Raphtalia**
You're wide open.
**[13:48] Raphtalia**
You will not get in Naofumi-sama's way!
**[13:52] Myne**
A damned demi-human thinks she can
strike me not once, but twice?
**[13:55] Myne**
How dare you!
**[13:56] Motoyasu**
How could you force Filo-chan and
Raphtalia-chan to attack others for you?
**[14:01] Naofumi**
You still don't get it?
**[14:03] Motoyasu**
What?
**[14:03] Naofumi**
Filo! Melty!
**[14:06] Melromarc**
As source of thy power, we order thee!
**[14:09] Filo**
Decipher the laws of nature and
bring forth a raging wind!
**[14:13] Melromarc**
Bring forth a pelting rain!
**[14:17] Both**
And produce a storm that
blows our targets away!
**[14:20] Filo**
Typhoon!
**[14:20] Melromarc**
Typhoon!
**[14:29] Melromarc**
That was great, Filo-chan!
We were in perfect sync!
**[14:32] Filo**
Yeah!
**[14:39] Motoyasu**
Damn...
**[14:40] Motoyasu**
How can you be so strong when
you haven't upgraded classes?
**[14:44] Motoyasu**
Is this because of the
brainwashing shield, too?
**[14:47] Naofumi**
While you were having fun playing superhero,
**[14:50] Naofumi**
we were out here fighting
and acquiring skills.
**[14:54] Motoyasu**
Lies!
**[14:55] Motoyasu**
You think I'll believe
that trite explanation?!
**[14:58] Naofumi**
It's the truth.
**[15:01] Naofumi**
We did what we had to do,
no matter how trite or trivial.
**[15:05] Naofumi**
And that's why you lost to us.
**[15:08] Naofumi**
Give it a rest, Motoyasu. Hear me out.
**[15:13] Motoyasu**
Even so...
**[15:15] Motoyasu**
Even so, I must avenge Itsuki and Ren.
**[15:19] Motoyasu**
If I give in here, Princess Melty,
Raphtalia-chan, and Filo-chan
**[15:24] Motoyasu**
will never be freed from
the Devil of the Shield!
**[15:27] Motoyasu**
I will never accept that!
**[15:30] Motoyasu**
Because I'm the Spear Hero!
**[15:34] Myne**
That's my Motoyasu-sama!
**[15:37] Myne**
Bring me the Devil of the Shield's
head and my dear Melty!
**[15:45] Naofumi**
* How can I talk this thickheaded buffoon*
* down when he's got a hero complex?*
**[15:51] Melromarc**
Filo-chan?
**[15:54] Raphtalia**
This is odd.
**[15:56] Raphtalia**
All those soldiers are gone now.
**[16:12] Naofumi**
Filo, what are you doing?
**[16:14] Filo**
The shield, Master!
**[16:16] Filo**
Bring out that dark shield!
**[16:18] Filo**
And place a bunch of stuff above us!
Or else we're done for!
**[16:22] Raphtalia**
What are you saying...
**[16:23] Filo**
Hurry up! Now!
**[16:28] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[16:34] Filo**
More!
**[16:36] Filo**
Up top, too!
**[16:37] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[16:40] Naofumi**
Second Shield!
**[16:44] Myne**
What are you playing at?
**[16:47] Melromarc**
Shut up, Sister!
**[16:48] Filo**
Here it comes!
**[17:57] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[18:00] Naofumi**
Are Filo and Melty okay?
**[18:02] Melromarc**
We're fine.
**[18:03] Motoyasu**
What?
**[18:06] Motoyasu**
What just happened, Myne?
**[18:09] Myne**
Th-That power...
**[18:12] Myne**
Don't tell me...
**[18:21] Pope**
My, how wonderful.
**[18:25] Pope**
You take the high-class multi-caster
ritual magic, Judgment,
**[18:30] Pope**
head-on and remain standing?
**[18:34] Pope**
I'd expect nothing less from the Shield Devil.
**[18:39] Melromarc**
The Pope?
**[18:42] Naofumi**
You're that guy from the
capital's cathedral!
**[18:45] Pope**
Oh? You remember who I am?
**[18:48] Pope**
Then you must be aware of your sin as well.
**[18:52] Naofumi**
My sin?
**[18:54] Pope**
You not only showed no gratitude for
the holy water God bestowed upon you,
**[19:00] Pope**
but also deceived the people and led
them to turn against the country.
**[19:04] Pope**
Hence,
**[19:06] Pope**
I shall purify you all in the name of God.
**[19:13] Myne**
Pope Balmus!
**[19:15] Myne**
Do you realize what you have just done?!
**[19:17] Myne**
You nearly killed the Spear Hero
and the next queen!
**[19:22] Pope**
The Spear Hero's party and the next queen
were killed by the Devil of the Shield.
**[19:27] Pope**
Or, well, that's how the script goes.
**[19:30] Pope**
In other words, you are
all walking corpses.
**[19:34] Motoyasu**
What?
**[19:35] Motoyasu**
Myne, what the hell is he talking about?
**[19:38] Pope**
And if walking corpses become
real corpses,
**[19:42] Pope**
that just means all is right in the world.
**[19:45] Pope**
It is all as God desires.
**[19:49] Raphtalia**
Nonsense!
**[19:51] Melromarc**
That's some messed-up logic.
**[19:53] Melromarc**
Reminds me of a certain someone.
**[19:56] Pope**
Oh, you may rest assured.
**[19:58] Pope**
We have already planned a system of
government to take the royal family's place.
**[20:02] Myne**
Wha...
**[20:03] Myne**
Ridiculous!
**[20:05] Myne**
No one but us can rule this country!
**[20:09] Myne**
Royalty that abuse their power
and mistreat the Church,
**[20:12] Myne**
apostles of God Himself?
**[20:16] Myne**
Neither the country nor its people
need such blasphemies.
**[20:19] Myne**
If anything, you are a pestilence.
**[20:23] Myne**
And the same goes for you heroes.
**[20:26] Myne**
We worship the ones who save the
people and the world from the Waves.
**[20:32] Myne**
But...
**[20:34] Myne**
The Spear Hero released a sealed
monster upon the world,
**[20:38] Myne**
the Sword Hero caused an epidemic,
**[20:41] Myne**
and the Bow Hero tried to
conceal his standing and hide from his duty.
**[20:45] Myne**
Heroes who cause harm across the country and
damage the people's belief are nothing but fakes.
**[20:51] Motoyasu**
I... I did it because I thought
it would help the world.
**[20:57] Motoyasu**
Ren and Itsuki were trying to help, too.
**[20:59] Motoyasu**
And you call us fakes?
**[21:02] Pope**
Your foolishness speaks volumes.
**[21:05] Pope**
As did theirs, when they started
investigating something beyond them.
**[21:10] Naofumi**
Investigating?
**[21:11] Pope**
That is why God's Judgment fell upon them.
**[21:16] Motoyasu**
God's Judgment?
**[21:17] Motoyasu**
W-Wait a second! Didn't Naofumi kill them?
**[21:27] Pope**
You've put on quite the
amusing farce, but enough.
**[21:35] Pope**
For the false Spear Hero
**[21:37] Pope**
and for the Devil of the Shield,
**[21:39] Pope**
clinging so desperately
to life like a cockroach,
**[21:43] Pope**
let there be the purification of Holy Judgment.
**[21:47] Pope**
And...
**[21:49] Pope**
For this country, righteous order!
**[21:56] Melromarc**
Watch out, Naofumi!
**[21:58] Melromarc**
That sword is...

You've put on quite the
amusing farce, but enough.
**[00:12] Pope**
For the false Spear Hero
**[00:14] Pope**
and for the Devil of the Shield,
**[00:16] Pope**
clinging so desperately

**[00:19] Pope**

And...

For this country, righteous order!

Watch out, Naofumi!
**[00:33] Melromarc**
That sword is...
**[00:51] Naofumi**
*What power!*
**[00:53] Naofumi**
*The impact's making my arms go numb!*
**[01:00] Pope**
For a devil, you are pretty tough.
**[01:08] Pope**
That'll be enough trial shots.
**[01:10] Pope**
Now face the real thing.
**[01:21] Myne**
Wh-What?
**[01:23] Melromarc**
I-Is that...
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** The Four Cardinal Heroes
**[03:06] Motoyasu**
H-Hey! That sword turned into a spear!
**[03:11] Melromarc**
There's no mistaking it.
**[03:12] Melromarc**
That's a replica of the Cardinal Weapons!
**[03:16] Raphtalia**
A... replica?
**[03:20] Melromarc**
In the past,
**[03:21] Melromarc**
an attempt was made to duplicate the
four weapons of the legendary heroes.
**[03:27] Melromarc**
To make the ultimate weapon,
**[03:30] Melromarc**
which could change forms and
use each weapon's skills.
**[03:34] Melromarc**
I was taught that it was
lost many centuries ago.
**[03:39] Motoyasu**
That's not fair!
**[03:41] Motoyasu**
Say, Myne. Is it true?
**[03:44] Myne**
H-How would I know?
**[03:46] Melromarc**
It's so famous,
anyone dabbling in Melromarc's
**[03:51] Melromarc**
and the Church's history would know of it.
**[03:53] Melromarc**
Finding it should've been huge news.
**[03:56] Naofumi**
But the Three Heroes Church kept it hidden.
**[03:59] Melromarc**
Maybe its loss was a lie
made up by the Church, too.
**[04:05] Naofumi**
Why'd you summon the heroes if
you had a weapon like that?
**[04:10] Melromarc**
That weapon is mighty, but it
consumes a massive amount of mana.
**[04:16] Melromarc**
Just that one swing earlier must've drained
dozens of magicians of their mana.
**[04:22] Pope**
No wonder you're first in line
for the throne, Melty-sama.
**[04:27] Pope**
You have educated yourself well.
**[04:29] Pope**
Completely unlike your sister,
who was too busy conspiring to study.
**[04:37] Pope**
The mana this legendary weapon requires
**[04:41] Pope**
will be provided by all the believers here.
**[04:46] Pope**
My brethren, this is a battle between
our lord and the Devil of the Shield.
**[04:52] Pope**
It is a holy crusade in the name of God.
**[04:57] Pope**
Offer your prayers to the legendary
weapon imbued with divine power.
**[05:03] Pope**
And we shall purge this world of the fake
Spear Hero and the Devil of the Shield.
**[05:11] Naofumi**
That'll be a pain to fight.
**[05:13] Naofumi**
Melty! Can't you take those
believers out of the equation?
**[05:17] Naofumi**
Put them to sleep or something!
**[05:18] Melromarc**
I haven't learned any magics
that affect the mind.
**[05:21] Melromarc**
And also...
**[05:23] Melromarc**
Such a large mana pool will also
give them high resistance.
**[05:27] Melromarc**
Putting them all to sleep
will be impossible.
**[05:31] Naofumi**
There has to be something we can do.
**[05:34] Motoyasu**
I shan't stand for this!
**[05:36] Motoyasu**
You manipulate us for
your own selfish goals,
**[05:38] Motoyasu**
and want to get rid of us
as soon as you're done?
**[05:41] Motoyasu**
That's evil, through and through!
**[05:43] Motoyasu**
As a hero, I cannot overlook it!
**[05:46] Raphtalia**
Everything he says is hollow.
**[05:48] Filo**
Spear guy's annoying.
**[05:50] Motoyasu**
Pope, I will defeat you
**[05:53] Motoyasu**
and avenge Itsuki and Ren!
**[05:58] Motoyasu**
Lightning Spear!
**[06:10] Motoyasu**
What? A barrier?
**[06:12] Filo**
No fair!
**[06:14] Melromarc**
We can't even scratch the pope unless
we break through that force field.
**[06:20] Naofumi**
Melty's right.
**[06:22] Naofumi**
We need to cut off the mana supply first.
**[06:25] Motoyasu**
If I can't do it alone...
**[06:27] Motoyasu**
Naofumi!
**[06:27] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[06:29] Motoyasu**
Now is the time for us to work together.
**[06:32] Motoyasu**
Let's go!
**[06:33] Myne**
You will pay for the sin of turning
against the next queen with your life.
**[06:37] Adventurer**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[06:40] Myne**
As source of thy power and the
next queen, I order thee.
**[06:43] All**
Decipher the laws of nature
and burn my target down!
**[06:44] Melromarc**
Sister...
**[06:46] Filo**
Both spear guy and his party are annoying.
**[06:48] Myne**
Zweit Fire!
**[06:51] Naofumi**
A combo skill?
**[06:53] Motoyasu**
This is the end!
**[06:56] Motoyasu**
Burst...
**[06:58] Motoyasu**
Flare Lance!
**[07:04] Motoyasu**
Did we get him?
**[07:11] Naofumi**
Nah.
**[07:14] Pope**
How deplorable.
**[07:17] Pope**
Instead of gracefully accepting God's mercy,
**[07:20] Pope**
you pointlessly continue to resist.
**[07:23] Pope**
But, of course, there will
be no mercy for a devil.
**[07:28] Motoyasu**
We'll see how pointless it is!
**[07:33] Motoyasu**
Meteor Thrust!
**[07:42] Motoyasu**
Even Meteor Thrust didn't work?
**[07:44] Pope**
This magical barrier is impregnable.
**[07:47] Pope**
It is no devil's shield, that is for sure.
**[07:50] Naofumi**
Is that the believers' power, too?
**[07:53] Melromarc**
They're using the massive pool of mana
to construct a powerful magical barrier.
**[07:58] Pope**
It is my turn to attack now.
**[08:09] Pope**
What do you say?
**[08:10] Pope**
All this power, with a simple wave of my hand!
**[08:13] Motoyasu**
Using that weapon is cheating!
**[08:16] Motoyasu**
Fight us fair and square!
**[08:18] Pope**
This power can even annihilate a devil.
**[08:22] Naofumi**
* I don't know if I can block a*
* full-power attack from that thing.*
**[08:27] Naofumi**
* Not to mention, they have*
* an almost limitless pool of mana.*
**[08:29] Naofumi**
* If he unleashes a volley of*
* attacks, we're finished.*
**[08:32] Naofumi**
What can we do?
**[08:34] Pope**
The time has come to bestow
God's mercy on our foes!
**[08:38] Ren**
Hundred Swords!
**[08:38] Itsuki**
Meteor Shot!
**[08:51] Man**
Pope!
**[08:53] Pope**
Those skills...
**[09:01] Itsuki**
Looks like we made it in the nick of time.
**[09:16] Myne**
Itsuki-sama!
**[09:18] Myne**
Ren-sama!
**[09:19] Motoyasu**
You came back to life?
**[09:21] Ren**
Don't just assume we're dead.
**[09:26] Ren**
Hundred Swords!
**[09:35] Pope**
Have half our magicians focus
on generating the barrier.
**[09:40] Man**
Are you sure?
**[09:42] Man**
It'll cause a long delay in the
mana supply to the weapon.
**[09:46] Pope**
They'll need time, too.
**[09:49] Pope**
Time to understand their sins
**[09:51] Pope**
and realize they must pray
for the mercy of God.
**[09:55] Man**
As you say, Your Excellency.
**[10:03] Itsuki**
That's annoying.
**[10:05] Motoyasu**
H-Hey, how are you guys here?
**[10:09] Ren**
We did nearly get killed.
**[10:11] Ren**
But their attempt failed.
**[10:13] Ren**
That's all.
**[10:14] Motoyasu**
"That's all"?
**[10:17] Ren**
Itsuki and I didn't trust the Three Heroes Church.
**[10:20] Ren**
so we began investigating them in secret.
**[10:23] Ren**
One of our party members found a secret
file in the Cathedral's archive.
**[10:27] Itsuki**
It mentioned the existence of a
replica of the Cardinal Weapons,
**[10:32] Itsuki**
so we decided to check out the
place where it was hidden.
**[10:36] Itsuki**
They must have not taken kindly to that.
**[10:38] Itsuki**
The Three Heroes Church
lured us to a fake shrine
**[10:43] Itsuki**
and tried to assassinate us.
**[10:49] Itsuki**
We barely escaped with our lives
**[10:51] Itsuki**
thanks to a squad that called themselves
"Shadows" and said they served the Queen.
**[10:59] Naofumi**
* Those women were also keeping*
* tabs on Itsuki and Ren?*
**[11:03] Itsuki**
I think the Three Heroes Church
were the ones who stole my reward.
**[11:09] Itsuki**
You were framed, Naofumi-san.
**[11:13] Naofumi**
*"Framed"?*
**[11:15] Naofumi**
* You're the one who misunderstood*
* and came at me!*
**[11:19] Motoyasu**
You were framed, huh?
**[11:21] Motoyasu**
You really have zero luck.
**[11:23] Naofumi**
* You were trying to kill me on a*
* false charge a moment ago, too!*
**[11:30] Itsuki**
Let's do this, Ren-san.
**[11:32] Ren**
Yeah.
**[11:39] Itsuki**
Meteor Shot!
**[11:46] Ren**
Meteor Slash!
**[11:56] Pope**
That consumed too much mana!
**[11:58] Bishop**
The pope's weapon!
**[12:00] Bishop**
Will he be all right?
**[12:02] Ren**
The queen's punitive
force will be here soon.
**[12:06] Naofumi**
The queen?
**[12:07] Melromarc**
Mother's coming here?!
**[12:09] Itsuki**
Yes. A Shadow tipped us off.
**[12:12] Itsuki**
Surrender at once, and I'm sure
the queen will have mercy on you!
**[12:17] Ren**
Drop your weapons and surrender!
**[12:20] Bishop**
Did he just say "punitive force"?
**[12:21] Bishop**
What's happening?
**[12:23] Pope**
Fret not!
**[12:25] Pope**
As I said earlier, this is a battle
between God and the Devil.
**[12:29] Pope**
Of course it will be difficult.
**[12:32] Pope**
However, our victory is guaranteed.
**[12:35] Pope**
After all, we are the ones
blessed by God.
**[12:41] Pope**
The queen's punitive force
is nothing to fear.
**[12:45] Pope**
And it matters not how
many false heroes gather.
**[12:47] Pope**
They are no match for us,
**[12:49] Pope**
with our legendary weapon
and our faith in God!
**[12:53] Bishop**
Pope!
**[12:55] Bishop**
We'll follow God and you to the end!
**[13:03] Motoyasu**
What's wrong with them?
**[13:05] Motoyasu**
We're the legendary heroes.
**[13:07] Itsuki**
Looks like they need to be taught a lesson.
**[13:10] Ren**
If words won't get through to them,
we'll have to fight.
**[13:13] Motoyasu**
Yeah. As much as I hate it,
this is an emergency.
**[13:17] Motoyasu**
I'll even take your help.
**[13:20] Ren**
Shall we, the four heroes...
**[13:22] Itsuki**
...present a united front?
**[13:26] Naofumi**
Melty, you provide magic support.
**[13:28] Melromarc**
Got it.
**[13:29] Ren**
Naofumi, what are you doing?
**[13:31] Naofumi**
I'm not gonna play along with you idiots.
**[13:33] Motoyasu**
Hey, don't be selfish!
**[13:36] Naofumi**
I don't wanna hear that from the guy who
tried to kill me when I refused to fight.
**[13:40] Itsuki**
But don't you think
**[13:42] Itsuki**
it's far too selfish to fight
alone in this situation?
**[13:47] Ren**
Yeah, we can't win if we
don't fight together.
**[13:50] Naofumi**
We can survive without your help.
**[13:53] Motoyasu**
No, you'll die for sure!
**[13:55] Motoyasu**
And you'll die framed for
a crime you didn't commit!
**[13:58] Motoyasu**
Are you okay with that?
**[14:01] Raphtalia**
You, of all people,
have no right to say that.
**[14:05] Filo**
Spear guy's so annoying.
**[14:07] Naofumi**
You're the ones who let the
Three Heroes Church throw their weight around!
**[14:12] Naofumi**
Myne, who fell for the Church's schemes
**[14:15] Naofumi**
and did whatever the hell she wanted,
is most at fault.
**[14:19] Naofumi**
But Motoyasu, you're just as guilty
for letting her take you for a ride.
**[14:24] Myne**
Wait a second! Me, deceive Motoyasu-sama?
**[14:27] Myne**
Quit making baseless accusations!
**[14:29] Melromarc**
But it seems the Spear Hero had no idea
**[14:32] Melromarc**
what you were trying to do, Sister.
**[14:36] Motoyasu**
Y-Yeah! All I did was trust
in a member of my party!
**[14:41] Motoyasu**
I didn't do anything wro...
**[14:43] Naofumi**
Accepting everything someone says blindly
without thinking for yourself
**[14:47] Naofumi**
is completely different from trusting them.
**[14:49] Naofumi**
If you'd used your brain even a little,
**[14:51] Naofumi**
things wouldn't have come to this.
**[14:54] Ren**
Naofumi's right.
**[14:56] Itsuki**
There, there.
Motoyasu-san feels bad about it, too.
**[15:00] Itsuki**
Give him a break for me.
**[15:02] Naofumi**
You two are no different.
**[15:05] Naofumi**
As I mentioned before,
after you killed that dragon,
**[15:09] Naofumi**
its rotten flesh poisoned the air and
nearly wiped out an entire village.
**[15:13] Ren**
That's...
**[15:15] Naofumi**
Sure, in video games,
monsters you kill just disappear.
**[15:18] Naofumi**
Their corpses don't remain and rot away.
**[15:20] Naofumi**
But this is reality.
**[15:22] Naofumi**
You should've faced up to that fact.
**[15:26] Naofumi**
And Itsuki, your little
secret vigilante adventure
**[15:29] Naofumi**
forced people to become refugees
and live in abject poverty.
**[15:33] Itsuki**
But if I hadn't taught that lord a lesson,
the people would've suffered forever!
**[15:37] Naofumi**
Hero powers won't solve everything.
**[15:39] Naofumi**
You could've used your standing as a hero
to pressure the people in charge.
**[15:44] Itsuki**
Wha...
**[15:45] Naofumi**
You should've spared a moment to think
about how best to use your powers.
**[15:50] Melromarc**
Decipher the laws of nature and
grant my target water's protection.
**[15:55] Melromarc**
Aqua Shield.
**[16:00] Naofumi**
Give Raphtalia and Filo shields, too.
**[16:02] Naofumi**
Your thoughtless actions
**[16:05] Naofumi**
are what let the Church think they could get away with this.
**[16:08] Itsuki**
Wh-What were you doing, then?
**[16:12] Raphtalia**
Sorting out your messes.
**[16:14] Filo**
Master was always mad,
saying he had to clean up after you.
**[16:18] Ren**
Cleaning up after us?
**[16:20] Motoyasu**
Y-Yeah! It's your fault!
**[16:22] Itsuki**
You're one to talk!
**[16:25] Itsuki**
I wish you would understand your
current position a little.
**[16:29] Ren**
Instead of fighting, you just wrapped
yourself around your girl's fingers.
**[16:36] Motoyasu**
Leave the girls out of this!
**[16:38] Motoyasu**
We're talking about all the trouble
you caused Naofumi right now!
**[16:44] Naofumi**
If you wanna talk about trouble...
**[16:47] Naofumi**
How about the time you thoughtlessly
passed out a sealed seed
**[16:51] Naofumi**
and let an entire area be overrun by vines?
You caused the most trouble!
**[16:55] Motoyasu**
I-I only did that because the
villagers asked for help.
**[16:58] Naofumi**
Sure, they had a legend saying
the seed was dangerous,
**[17:02] Naofumi**
so the villagers are at fault for taking
it just because a hero gave it to them, too.
**[17:06] Motoyasu**
Right?
**[17:07] Naofumi**
It just goes to show how immense the
people's trust in the heroes is.
**[17:11] Naofumi**
You should've been more aware of that.
**[17:14] Naofumi**
You three let your hero's
welcome go to your heads
**[17:17] Naofumi**
and didn't spare a thought for anybody else.
**[17:19] Naofumi**
As a result,
**[17:22] Naofumi**
instead of teaming up to fight the Wave,
you just embarrassed yourselves.
**[17:27] Naofumi**
Maybe you couldn't have taken that Glass woman,
**[17:29] Naofumi**
but you could've easily defeated the
Soul Eater if you'd worked together.
**[17:36] Naofumi**
As the Pope says,
**[17:37] Naofumi**
it wouldn't be surprising if the
people got sick of heroes like you.
**[17:40] Filo**
I don't really get it, but I do
know it's the spear guy's fault.
**[17:44] Motoyasu**
F... Filo-chan!
**[17:46] Motoyasu**
Don't say that! I was doing my best!
**[17:49] Filo**
Huh? Master was working harder, though.
**[17:54] Pope**
Dear me. I can hardly bear to watch.
**[17:59] Pope**
You're fighting among
yourselves in this situation?
**[18:02] Pope**
Our so-called heroes are an utter disgrace.
**[18:07] Pope**
You really should be cleansed at once.
**[18:11] Pope**
Fortunately, you gave us time
to generate enough mana.
**[18:15] Pope**
Farewell, fake heroes!
And goodbye, Devil of the Shield!
**[18:23] Melromarc**
I knew he'd use a magic attack!
**[18:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama,
**[18:25] Raphtalia**
here it comes.
**[18:27] Pope**
Brionac!
**[18:40] Naofumi**
You're the same.
**[18:44] Naofumi**
In my eyes, you and that
pope are no different.
**[18:47] Naofumi**
You use and abuse people
for your own benefit.
**[18:51] Naofumi**
You brandish your powers for "justice,"
**[18:53] Naofumi**
without caring about the consequences.
**[18:56] Naofumi**
You see nothing wrong with that!
**[18:58] Naofumi**
And more than anything...
**[19:00] Naofumi**
You try to take the things
I hold dear from me.
**[19:04] Naofumi**
You people are scum.
**[19:17] (Flashback) Fitoria**
It is unacceptable for
heroes to be fighting.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Naofumi**
I'll give it my best shot,
but don't get your hopes up.
**[19:33] Fitoria**
Shield Hero, please...
**[19:38] Naofumi**
But...
**[19:40] Naofumi**
I'll work with you until we take
him out and get out of here alive.
**[19:44] Ren**
Naofumi...
**[19:45] Naofumi**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[19:46] Naofumi**
I haven't forgiven you.
**[19:48] Naofumi**
But...
**[19:50] Naofumi**
I did make Fitoria a promise.
**[19:54] Itsuki**
The four heroes finally stand together now.
**[19:58] Ren**
Yeah.
**[19:59] Motoyasu**
Don't hold me back, you guys.
**[20:01] Ren**
Right back at you.
**[20:05] Naofumi**
It's only until this battle is over.
**[20:08] Raphtalia**
Sure. I think that's for the best.
**[20:10] Melromarc**
We need to do something about the
Pope and live to meet Mother.
**[20:15] Filo**
I'll do my best!
**[20:20] Motoyasu**
Lend me your strength, girls.
**[20:22] Adventurer**
Right!
**[20:22] Myne**
Of course, Motoyasu-sama.
**[20:25] Ren**
Let's do this.
**[20:26] Itsuki**
Let's show them what we heroes are made of.
**[20:30] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo, Melty! Let's go!
**[20:32] All**
Right!
**[20:38] Pope**
Fighting together with
the Devil of the Shield?
**[20:41] Pope**
A foolish act befitting the fake heroes.
**[20:44] Pope**
You leave me no choice but to purge you.
**[20:47] Pope**
Not a trace of you must remain.
**[20:50] Bishop**
We pray to our God, the source of all power.
**[20:54] Bishop**
Decipher the laws of nature,
**[20:56] Bishop**
bring about a miracle,
and protect the blessed ones!
**[21:01] Pope**
High-Level Multi-Caster Defense Magic:

If I may, you don't have to go yourself.
**[00:19] Mirelia**
This is a crisis that may affect the
country's—no, the entire world's survival.
**[00:24] Mirelia**
I've not become so feeble in my old age
that I must simply wait here for news.
**[00:29] Shadow**
As you wish.
**[00:31] Mirelia**
I apologize for the trouble.
**[00:33] Shadow**
Oh, no.
**[00:34] Shadow**
We wouldn't have it any other way, my lady.
**[00:55] Mirelia**
We shall now put down
**[00:56] Mirelia**
the traitorous Three Heroes Church's Pope,
**[00:59] Mirelia**
Bisca T. Balmus, and his followers!
**[01:03] ---**
Yes, my lady!
**[01:04] Mirelia**
We leave immediately! Move the cavalry out!
**[01:11] Mirelia**
Please, just survive a little longer, Shield Hero... and Melty.

Curses are meaningless

**[03:42] Pope**
After all, this is hallowed ground, blessed by God.
**[03:56] Melromarc**
What strength!
**[03:59] Pope**
Do you hear me, Bishop?
**[04:02] Pope**
In order to show the might of God, I need
further prayers from the believers.
**[04:07] Bishop**
But sir, almost a third of them
have already run out of mana.
**[04:13] Bishop**
If they keep going,
their lives may be in danger.
**[04:16] Pope**
Is that a problem?
**[04:19] Pope**
This is a battle between God and the Devil.
**[04:22] Pope**
Perishing as martyrs here
**[04:26] Pope**
is the greatest honor for one of the
Three Heroes Church's disciples.
**[04:30] Bishop**
As you say.
**[04:33] Bishop**
Everyone, provide the Pope with more prayers!
**[04:38] Raphtalia**
How could he say something so awful to
the people who trusted and followed him?
**[04:43] Melromarc**
They'll probably still
follow his orders, though.
**[04:47] Pope**
Indeed.
**[04:48] Pope**
We are one in body and soul.
**[04:51] Pope**
With their prayers and the sacred
weapon's greatest attack,
**[04:56] Pope**
I shall grant you all complete purification.
**[05:00] Pope**
It is the greatest mercy
that God may bestow.
**[05:05] Filo**
This feels wrong.
**[05:08] Melromarc**
He's building up mana.
**[05:10] Melromarc**
If the light reaches all
the way up to the top...
**[05:14] Itsuki**
...a huge attack will follow, right?
**[05:17] Motoyasu**
Hey, can't your shield
do something about it?
**[05:21] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[05:22] Motoyasu**
I mean, your shield seems overpowered.
**[05:25] Naofumi**
Look here...
**[05:27] Itsuki**
True.
**[05:29] Itsuki**
You're underleveled compared to us,
and yet you're keeping up with us.
**[05:32] Itsuki**
Isn't that because of your shield?
**[05:34] Naofumi**
* You idiots just aren't making*
* good use of your weapons!*
**[05:38] Ren**
Got any special skills?
**[05:40] Naofumi**
As if there'd be...
**[05:45] Naofumi**
*What is this?*
**[05:50] (Flashback) Fitoria**
The Shield of the Curse Series
is like a double-edged sword.
**[05:54] (Flashback) Fitoria**
Don't use it anymore.
**[05:57] Ren**
Naofumi?
**[06:04] Naofumi**
This will be quite the gamble,
but it could work.
**[06:08] Motoyasu**
See?
**[06:11] Raphtalia**
Will you use that power again?
**[06:14] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[06:15] Naofumi**
It went fine before, so I'm sure
I can come back this time, too.
**[06:20] Raphtalia**
Okay. I believe in you.
**[06:22] Filo**
Me too.
**[06:37] Dragon**
You made the right choice in
releasing me from my shackles.
**[06:50] Dragon**
Let the anger take you over,
and you won't suffer.
**[06:55] Naofumi**
I... refuse!
**[07:06] Naofumi**
I won't let your anger overtake me!
**[07:12] Dragon**
It isn't simply my anger, the anger of a dragon.
**[07:17] Dragon**
It wells up from within your heart.
**[07:20] Naofumi**
What?
**[07:30] Dragon**
Your anger at being set up.
**[07:33] Dragon**
Your anger at the shame and
humiliation you were put through.
**[07:39] Dragon**
Your anger at being continually persecuted,
not even being given a chance to defend yourself.
**[07:45] Dragon**
It is all your own.
**[07:49] Naofumi**
Mine?
**[07:51] Dragon**
Release every last drop of your
pent-up anger and hatred.
**[07:57] Naofumi**
Every last drop...
**[08:00] Dragon**
Hit your foes with all the
anger you have felt until now.
**[08:04] Dragon**
I'll give you the power to do that.
**[08:07] Naofumi**
Power!
**[08:11] Naofumi**
No! I can't fall for his words!
**[08:14] Naofumi**
This power...
**[08:15] Dragon**
It tasted sweet, did it not?
**[08:19] Dragon**
With the power of the cursed flame,
**[08:22] Dragon**
you could make your foes submit
and walk all over them.
**[08:27] Dragon**
It was pleasant, was it not?
**[08:29] Dragon**
You felt fulfilled, did you not?
**[08:32] Naofumi**
That's...
**[08:35] Dragon**
Show your rage! Seek more power!
**[08:38] Dragon**
And burn everything in your path!
**[08:42] Naofumi**
Burn...
**[08:45] Naofumi**
I'll burn everything!
**[08:49] Dragon**
Very nice, human!
**[08:52] Dragon**
Your rage puts even mine to shame.
**[09:06] Ren**
Hey, Naofumi!
**[09:08] Motoyasu**
Please don't tell me you really
became the Devil of the Shield.
**[09:14] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[09:23] Naofumi**
I'll burn everything.
**[09:26] Naofumi**
If I burn it all down, it'll be over.
**[09:29] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[09:30] Naofumi**
I can let my anger take over
and destroy everything.
**[09:35] Filo**
Master!
**[09:36] Naofumi**
I have the power to do that now.
**[09:39] Naofumi**
I'll use it to...
**[09:41] Melromarc**
Naofumi!
**[09:50] Naofumi**
You're so annoying! Don't try to stop me!
**[09:54] Filo**
Master, do you really hate everything?
**[09:58] Naofumi**
What is this voice?
**[10:01] Raphtalia**
Did your travels with us
truly mean nothing at all?
**[10:05] Naofumi**
Travels?
**[10:08] Raphtalia**
I was terrified at first.
**[10:11] Raphtalia**
I was sure you would treat
me like an object, like everyone else.
**[10:15] Raphtalia**
But you were nice to me.
**[10:17] Raphtalia**
You cared for me.
**[10:19] Raphtalia**
You scolded me when I went wrong,
and protected me.
**[10:22] Raphtalia**
That is why I vowed to stand with you.
**[10:25] Filo**
You raised me since the moment I was born.
**[10:30] Filo**
You gave me the wagon, and all
the fun and neat things in my life.
**[10:35] Filo**
You gave me everything I love.
**[10:42] Melromarc**
You were stubborn, never listened
to me, and kept making fun of me.
**[10:46] Melromarc**
But when you promised to keep
me safe and did just that,
**[10:49] Melromarc**
and saw me for the person I am
and not just as a princess,
**[10:54] Melromarc**
it made me so happy.
**[11:01] Naofumi**
That's right. I was on a journey...
**[11:05] Naofumi**
With friends I held dear
and swore to protect.
**[11:11] Melromarc**
You're never open about your feelings, so we can
never tell what you're thinking.
**[11:16] Melromarc**
But we do know that you
care very deeply for us.
**[11:21] Filo**
I love you, Master.
**[11:24] Filo**
So I'm gonna eat up all
your bad feelings.
**[11:30] Melromarc**
I'll do all I can to share in your pain.
**[11:34] Raphtalia**
I'll cut through all your sorrow.
**[11:38] Raphtalia**
After all, I am your sword.
**[11:50] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[11:55] Naofumi**
You guys...
**[11:57] Raphtalia**
Thank goodness. You came back to us again.
**[12:01] Filo**
Master!
**[12:03] Melromarc**
Stop causing us so much trouble.
**[12:07] Naofumi**
I'm sorry! I hurt you all again!
**[12:10] Raphtalia**
They weren't wrong.
**[12:12] Raphtalia**
The path you chose
**[12:15] Raphtalia**
and the road we traveled down
were definitely the right ones!
**[12:22] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[12:24] Filo**
I'll eat up your negative
feelings again and again!
**[12:29] Naofumi**
Filo...
**[12:30] Melromarc**
If you understand, hurry up
and come up with a plan.
**[12:34] Melromarc**
We're in the middle of a battle.
**[12:36] Naofumi**
Got it, Melty.
**[12:38] Ren**
You okay?
**[12:40] Itsuki**
It wasn't the same berserk mode
as in the last Wave, was it?
**[12:46] Naofumi**
Help me out.
**[12:48] Motoyasu**
Help you?
**[12:49] Naofumi**
Please.
**[12:52] Itsuki**
I never expected to hear
those words from you.
**[12:56] Ren**
Can we win?
**[12:58] Naofumi**
I don't know, but it's worth a shot.
**[13:02] Itsuki**
I was saying we should
fight together all along.
**[13:05] Naofumi**
Motoyasu?
**[13:07] Motoyasu**
I-I...
**[13:10] Motoyasu**
Fine! I'll do it!
**[13:13] Motoyasu**
We need to prove that friendship
and strong bonds will always prevail.
**[13:23] Pope**
It seems you were up to something,
but everything is ready now.
**[13:27] Pope**
This is goodbye, Devil of the Shield!
**[13:39] Pope**
Even if you're the Devil of the Shield,
**[13:41] Pope**
I'm amazed you could stop the
Cathedral's full-power attack.
**[13:45] Naofumi**
Immense power always comes at a price.
**[13:49] Naofumi**
And if your divine power comes
at the cost of your disciples,
**[13:54] Naofumi**
your life alone won't be
enough to pay for it!
**[13:59] Pope**
That shield...
**[14:01] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[14:02] Both**
Right!
**[14:04] Heroes**
Yeah!
**[14:06] Itsuki**
Thunder Shot!
**[14:12] Itsuki**
There's more!
**[14:14] Itsuki**
Wind Arrow!
**[14:18] Melromarc**
Zweit Aqua Shot!
**[14:19] Adventurer**
Zweit Air Shot!
**[14:22] Naofumi**
Don't let the enemy recover!
**[14:26] Filo**
High Quick!
**[14:30] Pope**
You won't get me with the same trick again.
**[14:33] Raphtalia**
We're only decoys!
**[14:36] Ren**
Meteor Sword!
**[14:42] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Ren, Raphtalia, get in close
and block his field of vision.
**[14:45] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Meanwhile...
**[14:47] Myne**
Zweit Power!
**[14:51] Motoyasu**
I can't believe I'm taking
orders from Naofumi.
**[14:54] Motoyasu**
Damn it!
**[14:56] Motoyasu**
I'm taking this out on you!
**[14:58] Motoyasu**
Air Strike Javelin!
**[15:08] Naofumi**
"Friendship and strong bonds
always prevail," huh?
**[15:12] Motoyasu**
Shut up!
**[15:13] Motoyasu**
Just go take him out!
**[15:16] Pope**
May this sacred flame cleanse everything!
**[15:21] Pope**
Phoenix Blade!
**[15:29] Filo**
As source of thy power,
the Shield Hero and I order thee!
**[15:33] Naofumi**
Decipher the laws of creation,
consume the flame, and give me power!
**[15:38] Both**
Wrath Fire!
**[15:53] Motoyasu**
He did it!
**[15:54] Itsuki**
Let's finish this!
**[15:56] Ren**
Yeah!
**[16:00] Naofumi**
Wait!
**[16:01] Naofumi**
Something's off.
**[16:02] Motoyasu**
Chaos Spear!
**[16:05] Pope**
State of Emptiness.
**[16:08] Motoyasu**
What?
**[16:14] Itsuki**
Motoyasu-san!
**[16:21] Motoyasu**
Th-That's one of my spear's
advanced skills, a counter!
**[16:26] Ren**
That weapon can even mimic
the advanced skills?
**[16:31] Pope**
The sin of defying God demands
more than cleansing!
**[16:52] Naofumi**
What'd he do?
**[17:11] Filo**
Stay away!
**[17:17] Melty**
No...
**[17:19] Melty**
Stop! Stop it!
**[17:22] Ren**
Damn! What the hell's going on?
**[17:26] Naofumi**
Is this...
**[17:27] Raphtalia**
An illusion, yes!
**[17:28] Raphtalia**
He used some kind of skill
to cast an illusion!
**[17:33] Pope**
You've lost your chance to accept God's mercy.
Now, only despair awaits you.
**[17:37] Pope**
Be crushed under the weight of your mind!
**[17:40] Naofumi**
Everyone, watch...
**[17:43] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[17:45] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[17:54] Pope**
You will be annihilated,
leaving not a speck of ash behind.
**[17:57] Pope**
There won't remain any proof
that you ever existed!
**[18:06] Mirelia**
As source of thy power,
the queen orders thee.
**[18:10] Mirelia**
Decipher the laws of creation,
**[18:12] Mirelia**
surround my target in a cage
of ice, and capture him.
**[18:16] Mirelia**
All Dritte Fall: Icicle Prison!
**[18:29] Pope**
It can't be!
**[18:34] Pope**
Her magic pierced the walls of the Cathedral?
**[18:38] Mirelia**
Hurry up and get him!
**[18:46] Naofumi**
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
**[18:51] Naofumi**
Within the dragon's jaws born from my flesh,
**[18:56] Naofumi**
become an offering to the
gods as you howl in pain!
**[18:59] Naofumi**
Blood Sacrifice!
**[19:17] Naofumi**
Why...?
**[19:20] Pope**
A fitting end for a devil.
**[19:22] Pope**
In the end, he was consumed
by his own power.
**[19:32] Pope**
Be thankful, filthy Devil,
that God still sees fit to purify you.
**[19:49] Pope**
Why? Why is this happening to me?!
**[19:52] Pope**
I am God's apostle!
**[19:54] Pope**
The Pope!
**[19:57] Pope**
This can't be!
**[20:23] Motoyasu**
Did we... win?
**[20:39] Bishop**
No... The Cathedral and the pope...
**[20:47] Mirelia**
This battle is over.
Accept your defeat and surrender.
**[20:52] Itsuki**
It's the queen's forces.
**[20:54] Ren**
Yeah.
**[20:55] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[20:58] Raphtalia**
Hang in there!
**[21:00] Filo**
Master!
**[21:03] Melromarc**
He's lost so much blood,
and then there was that skill...
**[21:07] Melromarc**
I think Naofumi gave up his own life to...
**[21:12] Raphtalia**
No... Naofumi-sama!
**[21:16] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[21:17] Filo**
Answer me, Master!
**[21:20] Melromarc**
Hang in there, Naofumi!
**[21:23] Mirelia**
I won't let the Shield Hero die.
**[21:36] Melromarc**
Mother!
**[21:43] Mirelia**
I'm terribly sorry I couldn't help in time,
**[21:45] Mirelia**
Shield Hero Naofumi Iwatani-sama.
**[21:51] Naofumi**
You are...
**[21:54] Mirelia**
I am the Queen of Melromarc,
**[21:57] Mirelia**
Mirelia Q. Melromarc.

**[00:38] Naofumi**
What are you girls doing?
**[00:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[00:44] Filo**
Master!
**[00:47] Melromarc**
Sheesh!
**[00:48] Melromarc**
Did you have to sleep that long?
**[00:52] Naofumi**
*What's going on?*
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Naofumi's Triumphant Return
**[01:00] Naofumi**
* After the battle against the Pope,*
* I lost consciousness.*
**[01:03] Naofumi**
* I was brought here, to a clinic*
* serving the royal family,*
**[01:07] Naofumi**
*and spent three days asleep.*
**[01:10] Naofumi**
*According to Raphtalia,*
**[01:12] Naofumi**
* the queen did everything in*
* her power to save my life.*
**[01:18] Naofumi**
One whole month to recover, huh?
**[01:21] Naofumi**
Even after healing magic made
the wounds go away in a flash?
**[01:25] Naofumi**
When it comes to curses this potent,
**[01:27] Naofumi**
time seems to be the only way to treat them.
**[01:31] Naofumi**
*The Wrath Shield's Blood Sacrifice...*
**[01:35] Naofumi**
*It's a powerful skill,*
**[01:37] Naofumi**
*but it destroys both my body and the target's.*
**[01:42] Naofumi**
*The other three weren't affected much by the curse,*
**[01:44] Naofumi**
*thanks to Fitoria, I guess.*
**[01:48] Shadow**
We're here to change your
bandages, I daresay.
**[01:51] Naofumi**
"I daresay"?
**[01:53] Raphtalia**
But he just got treated a while ago.
**[01:56] Naofumi**
They're not medics.
**[01:59] Naofumi**
You're Shadows, aren't you?
**[02:01] Mirelia**
I heard that you'd awakened,
so I rushed here.
**[02:06] Mirelia**
I'm truly relieved your
life is out of danger.
**[02:10] Melromarc**
Mother... I mean, Your Majesty!
**[02:13] Mirelia**
Allow me to introduce myself again.
**[02:15] Mirelia**
I am the Queen of Melromarc,
**[02:18] Mirelia**
Mirelia Q. Melromarc.
**[02:21] Raphtalia**
Thank you so much for saving
Naofumi-sama's life!
**[02:25] Mirelia**
Don't mention it. It was
the obvious thing to do.
**[02:28] Mirelia**
Iwatani-sama is one of the
Four Cardinal Heroes,
**[02:31] Mirelia**
someone who defends the world
from the Waves of Catastrophe.
**[02:34] Naofumi**
And yet, this country sure
seems to hate the Shield.
**[02:39] Naofumi**
From a long time before they
put a false charge on me.
**[02:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[02:44] Mirelia**
I will tell you everything.
**[02:49] Mirelia**
I was taking part in an international forum on fighting the upcoming Waves,
**[02:54] Mirelia**
and was thus away from
Melromarc, when it happened.
**[02:58] Mirelia**
The forum decided that the major
nations would each summon one hero
**[03:03] Mirelia**
and fight the Waves together.
**[03:08] Mirelia**
But by that time, Melromarc had already
**[03:12] Mirelia**
summoned all four Cardinal Heroes.
**[03:16] Mirelia**
This angered the other nations,
**[03:18] Mirelia**
and I spent a lot of time running
around and putting out fires.
**[03:22] Naofumi**
So that trash king and the slut
princess did it all on their own?
**[03:28] Mirelia**
Of course, I tried to keep them on a leash
**[03:33] Mirelia**
by leaving things to a lord
I truly trusted while I was away.
**[03:37] Mirelia**
However...
**[03:38] Melromarc**
He tragically lost his life in the
first Wave while Her Majesty was away.
**[03:43] Melromarc**
He was the lord of Seyaette.
**[03:48] Naofumi**
Seyaette?
**[03:50] Naofumi**
I see.
**[03:53] Naofumi**
By the way, Melty.
**[03:56] Naofumi**
You're talking weird.
**[03:59] Melromarc**
Wh-What can I do? I'm in
Her Majesty's presence!
**[04:04] Mirelia**
It pleases me greatly to see
a new side of you, Melty.
**[04:08] Mirelia**
Make sure to stay in
Iwatani-sama's good graces.
**[04:12] Melromarc**
Mother!
**[04:14] Naofumi**
So?
**[04:15] Naofumi**
Why was I, the Shield Hero, the only
one put through all that crap?
**[04:22] Mirelia**
Aultcray already hated the Shield Hero
for a certain reason.
**[04:27] Mirelia**
The Three Heroes Church took advantage
of that to manipulate him.
**[04:30] Naofumi**
He hated the previous Shield Hero, then?
**[04:33] Naofumi**
What the hell does that have to do with me?
**[04:37] Mirelia**
Even Malty joined in to ensnare you.
**[04:41] Naofumi**
Things would've gone very differently if I'd
been summoned to another country, huh?
**[04:45] Mirelia**
Indeed. For example,
Siltvelt practices demi-human supremacy.
**[04:49] Mirelia**
There, the Shield Hero is worshiped.
**[04:54] Naofumi**
Maybe I should go to Siltvelt.
**[04:57] Mirelia**
If you do decide to go,
we'll have no right to stop you.
**[05:01] Mirelia**
However...
**[05:03] Mirelia**
I promise to clear your name
**[05:07] Mirelia**
and end the humiliation you have suffered.
**[05:10] Mirelia**
And to reward you for fighting the Waves and
getting rid of the Three Heroes Church,
**[05:15] Mirelia**
we'll honor you with the greatest award
**[05:19] Mirelia**
Melromarc has to offer and 500 gold pieces.
**[05:23] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[05:25] Filo**
Will I be able to eat
lots of food with that?
**[05:28] Melromarc**
Of course!
**[05:29] Filo**
Hooray!
**[05:31] Filo**
I can't wait!
**[05:32] Mirelia**
Finally, there is something I wish
to discuss with you in private.
**[05:37] Melromarc**
Raphtalia-san, Filo-chan,
let's head back inside.
**[05:41] Raphtalia**
O-Okay.
**[05:42] Filo**
Sure. I'm hungry.
**[05:46] Mirelia**
Not satisfied?
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Well, I know there's a catch.
**[05:52] Mirelia**
Melromarc no longer has any choice
but to rely on you to survive.
**[05:57] Naofumi**
I don't plan to stay in this country.
**[06:00] Naofumi**
I'll go wherever the Waves
arrive and fight them off.
**[06:05] Naofumi**
* That's the best shortcut*
* to returning to my world.*
**[06:10] Mirelia**
I understand.
**[06:11] Mirelia**
By the way, Iwatani-sama,
how goes your recovery?
**[06:14] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[06:16] Naofumi**
As you see, I can walk around, at least.
**[06:19] Mirelia**
Then, could you visit the
royal castle tomorrow?
**[06:23] Naofumi**
The castle?
**[06:24] Mirelia**
To clear your name before the public.
**[06:28] Mirelia**
And for King Aultcray and Malty to...
**[06:35] Mirelia**
You and I are the only
ones who know about this.
**[06:39] Mirelia**
It will happen regardless of whether you
choose to work with our country or not.
**[06:44] Mirelia**
This is Melromarc's...
**[06:46] Mirelia**
No, my way of making things right, as queen.
**[06:50] Naofumi**
Are you sure? They're your
husband and daughter.
**[06:54] Mirelia**
It has to be done.
**[06:56] Mirelia**
That's how grave their sins are.
**[07:00] Mirelia**
The people have already been told
**[07:03] Mirelia**
to gather at the castle for
an important announcement.
**[07:08] Mirelia**
I very much need for you to attend tomorrow.
**[07:13] Mirelia**
Of course, I am aware that it won't
be enough to quell your rage,
**[07:18] Mirelia**
but please.
**[07:22] Filo**
See?
**[07:23] Melromarc**
This is fun!
**[07:25] Filo**
Master taught me.
**[07:28] Raphtalia**
What did the queen discuss with you?
**[07:31] Naofumi**
Nothing special.
**[07:33] Naofumi**
She asked me to come to the castle tomorrow
because she was going to clear my name.
**[07:37] Raphtalia**
Really?!
**[07:39] Naofumi**
H-Hey...
**[07:40] Raphtalia**
Thank goodness!
**[07:41] Raphtalia**
Everyone will finally know you
didn't do anything wrong!
**[07:48] Raphtalia**
I'm so glad!
**[08:03] Naofumi**
What's with that look?
**[08:05] Naofumi**
You're getting what you deserve!
**[08:08] Naofumi**
You deserve to die for what you did!
**[08:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[08:23] Raphtalia**
Is something wrong?
**[08:25] Naofumi**
No, I'm fine.
**[08:27] Raphtalia**
But...
**[08:28] Naofumi**
We have an early start tomorrow.
**[08:30] Naofumi**
Get some rest.
**[08:34] Naofumi**
* I shouldn't care what happens*
* to those scumbags!*
**[08:47] Mald**
Why can't we enter the castle?
**[08:50] Mald**
Only the Shield Hero's party gets to
go in? What's the meaning of this?
**[08:54] Rishia**
C-Calm down, Mald-san!
**[08:56] Mald**
Shut up!
**[08:59] Raphtalia**
That sure was a large crowd outside.
**[09:02] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[09:02] Filo**
Where's Mel-chan?
**[09:04] Raphtalia**
She went off with the knights as
soon as we got to the castle.
**[09:08] Naofumi**
She's probably with the queen.
**[09:12] Itsuki**
I'm glad you're okay.
**[09:14] Ren**
Good to see that overpowered move
didn't take too much out of you.
**[09:17] Naofumi**
Believe it or not, I'm a wreck on the inside.
**[09:20] Motoyasu**
Anyway, have you seen Myne?
**[09:22] Motoyasu**
She's been gone ever since that day.
**[09:25] Ren**
She must be busy with her duties as a princess.
**[09:28] Itsuki**
Maybe she's arranging a surprise
party for us for defeating the Pope!
**[09:31] Motoyasu**
Ah, I see. That's gotta be it.
**[09:35] Minister**
Four Cardinal Heroes,
**[09:37] Minister**
please go inside.
**[09:44] Mirelia**
I thank you for coming,
Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[09:48] Motoyasu**
Where's Myne?
**[09:50] Itsuki**
I don't see the king, either.
**[09:52] Mirelia**
Bring those two in.
**[09:57] Motoyasu**
Myne!
**[09:58] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama! Help me!
**[10:00] Ren**
Even the king's chained up?
**[10:02] Ren**
What's going on?
**[10:03] Mirelia**
It is as you see. They are criminals.
**[10:08] Mirelia**
Now, let us begin...
**[10:10] Mirelia**
the trial of the foolish king consort
and the first princess!
**[10:18] Crowd**
A trial?
**[10:20] Crowd**
For the king and the princess?
**[10:22] Elhart**
Things are getting interesting, kid.
**[10:25] Myne**
Mama, you're being too cruel!
**[10:28] Aultcray**
My queen, what brings you to
commit such an outrage?
**[10:31] Aultcray**
This isn't like you!
**[10:33] Mirelia**
With the Four Cardinal Heroes in attendance,
**[10:36] Mirelia**
this trial seeks to punish the ones
responsible for shaking the country to its core,
**[10:39] Mirelia**
and I, the queen, am its judge and executor.
**[10:43] Aultcray**
What?
**[10:44] Aultcray**
Don't tell me... Did the
Devil of the Shield brainwash you, too?
**[10:49] Mirelia**
The Shield Hero has no such ability.
**[10:52] Mirelia**
That should have been obvious.
**[10:55] Myne**
Wh-What is that?
**[10:56] Mirelia**
In order to ensure a fair trial,
**[10:58] Mirelia**
you will be given a temporary slave crest.
**[11:01] Myne**
Mama?!
**[11:04] Naofumi**
*A slave crest?*
**[11:07] Motoyasu**
How can you do that? She's your own daughter!
**[11:10] Mirelia**
It's necessary, because Malty
is a pathological liar.
**[11:12] Myne**
No way! You know I'm an honest, good girl!
**[11:17] Myne**
Stop this, Mama!
**[11:32] Mirelia**
Let us officially begin the trial.
**[11:34] Mirelia**
That said,
**[11:35] Mirelia**
your crimes are clear for all to see.
**[11:37] Mirelia**
You can't worm your way out of them.
**[11:40] Motoyasu**
We don't know that yet!
**[11:42] Motoyasu**
What crimes did they commit, anyway?
**[11:46] Naofumi**
*We have to start there?*
**[11:48] Mirelia**
First, let's address the recent events.
**[11:50] Mirelia**
Using a fake holy weapon,
**[11:52] Mirelia**
the Pope of the Three Heroes Church
tried to murder the world's heroes,
**[11:57] Mirelia**
but he was defeated in the act.
**[11:59] Mirelia**
We are rounding up the Church's
remnants as we speak, too.
**[12:03] Motoyasu**
So what?
**[12:05] Mirelia**
Appallingly, the king and the first princess
were colluding with the Church.
**[12:10] Motoyasu**
Wh-What?
**[12:11] Mirelia**
Are there any objections to the charge?
**[12:13] Myne**
Why would I ever collude with
the Three Heroes Church...
**[12:18] Mirelia**
To think the first princess would
try to overthrow the state.
**[12:22] Myne**
N-No!
**[12:24] Myne**
Forget the Shield, they even tried
to kill the other three heroes!
**[12:27] Myne**
And the royal family, too!
**[12:29] Myne**
I would never get involved
in such a terrifying plot!
**[12:34] Motoyasu**
S-See?
**[12:35] Motoyasu**
Myne really didn't do anything wrong!
**[12:36] Mirelia**
Then what about the time you tried to
assassinate Melty, heir to the throne,
**[12:40] Mirelia**
and frame the Shield Hero for it?
**[12:43] Myne**
S-Seriously, I didn't do any of that!
**[12:47] Melromarc**
Sister...
**[12:48] Aultcray**
M-Malty? Is it true?
**[12:51] Myne**
N-No! It's not true, Papa!
**[12:54] Myne**
I...
**[12:56] Mirelia**
You conspired with the Church,
**[12:59] Mirelia**
and attempted to kill Melty so you could
become heir to the throne yourself.
**[13:03] Mirelia**
To that end, you framed the
Shield Hero for the crime of abducting her,
**[13:07] Mirelia**
and even set fire to a
forest Melty escaped into.
**[13:09] Mirelia**
Am I wrong?
**[13:11] Myne**
Melty is my dear sister!
**[13:14] Myne**
Of course you're wrong!
**[13:17] Ren**
Yeah, it really did seem like she was
trying to kill the second princess.
**[13:22] Itsuki**
True. We saw it with our own eyes.
**[13:24] Motoyasu**
What?
**[13:25] Aultcray**
M-Malty... How could you!
**[13:27] Mirelia**
And you worked with the Church
**[13:30] Mirelia**
to summon all of the Four Cardinal
Heroes while I was away.
**[13:34] Aultcray**
We absolutely needed the heroes
to counter those horrifying Waves!
**[13:39] Aultcray**
But the Shield committed the gravest
sin possible against my daughter!
**[13:43] Motoyasu**
That's right! Naofumi assaulted Myne!
**[13:47] Mirelia**
Let me ask Malty, then.
**[13:49] Mirelia**
Were you assaulted by the Shield Hero?
**[13:52] Myne**
Th-That's right! The Devil of
the Shield nearly raped me...
**[14:04] Motoyasu**
N-No way! That can't be right!
**[14:07] Mirelia**
Then, Spear Hero, would you like to
form a slave pact with Malty yourself?
**[14:11] Motoyasu**
F-Fine! I'll prove Myne's innocence!
**[14:18] Motoyasu**
Okay, Myne.
**[14:19] Motoyasu**
That night, you were assaulted by
Naofumi and came to me for help, right?
**[14:23] Myne**
Right!
**[14:24] Myne**
I was so scared! I could only turn to you...
**[14:30] Crowd**
What? It was a lie?
**[14:32] Crowd**
We should've known.
**[14:34] Crowd**
She went that far to frame the Shield Hero?
**[14:36] Naofumi**
* After that, this unpleasant*
* farce kept going on and on.*
**[14:39] Naofumi**
*My name was being cleared in the public eye,*
**[14:42] Naofumi**
* and yet my heart didn't*
* feel the least bit lighter.*
**[14:47] Naofumi**
*Is it because I know what comes next?*
**[14:49] Naofumi**
*Am I looking forward to seeing it happen?*
**[14:53] Mirelia**
Hopefully you understand now.
**[14:56] Mirelia**
Despite being royalty,
they used the dirtiest of tricks,
**[14:59] Mirelia**
tried to eliminate those who opposed them,
instead of doing what was best for the nation,
**[15:03] Mirelia**
and sought to obtain power
for purely selfish reasons.
**[15:08] Myne**
N-No... I...
**[15:13] Aultcray**
Perhaps my actions were
unbecoming of royalty.
**[15:17] Aultcray**
But I did it all for the sake of
my beloved country and family!
**[15:22] Aultcray**
That is why I tried to get rid of the Shield!
**[15:25] Aultcray**
The Shield is the Devil!
**[15:26] Aultcray**
It will surely bring about the calamity
my family once fell prey to once again!
**[15:30] Aultcray**
I will never let it happen!
**[15:33] Aultcray**
Never!
**[15:35] Naofumi**
*He just threw his last chance away.*
**[15:38] Naofumi**
*Is that how much he hates the Shield Hero?*
**[15:42] Mirelia**
I hereby hand down my verdict.
**[15:44] Mirelia**
I find Aultcray Melromarc XXXII
and Malty Melromarc
**[15:48] Mirelia**
guilty of high treason and conspiracy,
and strip them of their status.
**[15:53] Mirelia**
And I sentence them to death!
**[15:59] Myne**
N-No!
**[16:02] Crowd**
Death?
**[16:03] Crowd**
Seriously?
**[16:04] Melromarc**
*That's too much, Your Majesty!*
**[16:05] Crowd**
Yeah! There's no need to execute them!
**[16:08] Crowd**
I feel bad for the princess!
**[16:09] Mirelia**
*These two were meant to protect our people,*
**[16:12] Mirelia**
* but instead wasted their time*
* in a power struggle.*
**[16:14] Mirelia**
* Even after the Waves came, they did*
* nothing to help their subjects.*
**[16:18] Mirelia**
* Who knows how many people were*
* hurt or killed because of them?*
**[16:22] Mirelia**
*That cannot be forgiven or forgotten!*
**[16:24] Mirelia**
You must've seen it yourself, too.
**[16:28] Mirelia**
The sorrow and rage of many people.
**[16:32] Melromarc**
Well...
**[16:36] Mirelia**
Their execution will be
carried out immediately.
**[16:39] Mirelia**
Send these sinners to their deaths
in front of all our people!
**[16:48] Filo**
Is it a festival?
**[16:51] Naofumi**
*It's the same as my dream.*
**[16:58] Mirelia**
The criminals will now be beheaded.
**[17:01] Mirelia**
Those who turn against the country
and its people deserve death.
**[17:05] Mirelia**
Especially if they're royalty.
**[17:08] Mirelia**
We will prove it right here, right now!
**[17:11] Crowd**
Yeah! Get 'em!
**[17:13] Crowd**
My daughter died because of you!
**[17:15] Crowd**
Give back my home and my family!
**[17:18] Myne**
No, no, no...
**[17:21] Naofumi**
*Is this really the right thing to do?*
**[17:26] Myne**
Help!
**[17:28] Myne**
Save me, Motoyasu-sama!
**[17:30] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[17:43] Myne**
...mi-sama...
**[17:46] Myne**
Naofumi-sama!
**[17:48] Myne**
I beg you!
**[17:48] Myne**
Help me, Naofumi-sama!
**[17:52] Myne**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:00] Naofumi**
Hold up!
**[18:05] Naofumi**
The death penalty is too
light for these scumbags.
**[18:08] Naofumi**
Death is instant release, after all.
**[18:10] Naofumi**
Should they really get off so lightly?
**[18:14] Naofumi**
The slave crest didn't react.
**[18:18] Naofumi**
She's so thick-skinned,
**[18:20] Naofumi**
she can beg a guy she tried
to kill for her life, and mean it!
**[18:24] Naofumi**
With skin that thick, the guillotine
might not cut through her!
**[18:30] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:34] Naofumi**
So I have a proposal!
**[18:36] Naofumi**
The king will change his name to "Trash,"
and the first princess to "Bitch"!
**[18:41] Aultcray**
Trash?
**[18:42] Myne**
B-Bitch?!
**[18:44] Naofumi**
You'll live the rest of your
lives under those names.
**[18:47] Naofumi**
If you don't like that,
you're free to die right now.
**[18:50] Mirelia**
By the way, Malty goes by
"Myne" as an adventurer.
**[18:55] Mirelia**
What about that?
**[18:56] Naofumi**
Then Bitch's adventurer name can be "Slut."
**[19:04] Mirelia**
The man who's done the most to put things right here, the Shield Hero,
**[19:08] Mirelia**
has granted his oppressors
the greatest mercy.
**[19:11] Mirelia**
As such, King Aultcray will
henceforth be "Trash,"
**[19:14] Mirelia**
and Princess Malty will be "Bitch,"
with "Slut" as her adventuring name.
**[19:20] Mirelia**
And the Three Heroes Church,
the root cause, will be abolished.
**[19:25] Mirelia**
Melromarc will now adopt the
Four Heroes Church as its state religion.
**[19:29] Crowd**
Four Heroes Church?
**[19:30] Crowd**
A church that'll worship the
Four Cardinal Heroes equally!
**[19:33] Crowd**
Sounds good!
**[19:38] Naofumi**
Neither the Three Heroes Church nor the
Shield Church will see it as an enemy.
**[19:42] Naofumi**
I see.
**[19:43] Naofumi**
She might be the shrewdest politician of them all.
**[19:50] Motoyasu**
H-Hey, Naofumi!
**[19:52] Ren**
Where are you going?
**[19:53] Itsuki**
The excitement's reaching fever pitch.
**[19:56] Mirelia**
Will you really not work with our country?
**[20:01] Mirelia**
I'd like to hold a ceremony
**[20:03] Mirelia**
to confer your decorations and rewards now.
**[20:07] Mirelia**
Please at least accept that.
**[20:09] Naofumi**
That crap wouldn't make
me the least bit happy.
**[20:12] Naofumi**
But I will work with you.
**[20:15] Mirelia**
Huh?
**[20:16] Naofumi**
But not just with Melromarc.
**[20:18] Naofumi**
I'll work with nations across the world.
**[20:20] Naofumi**
We're the Four Cardinal Heroes, and we're
here to save the world from the Waves.
**[20:25] Motoyasu**
You...
**[20:29] Mirelia**
That's indeed right.
**[20:30] Mirelia**
But leaving matters at that
wouldn't be fair enough to you.
**[20:34] Mirelia**
If there's anything else you would like,
I will gladly arrange for it.
**[20:38] Naofumi**
I'll think about it.
**[20:40] Motoyasu**
Then I guess we're hitting
the ceremony ourselves.
**[20:43] Itsuki**
Yeah.
**[20:43] Ren**
Right.
**[20:51] Melromarc**
Thank you for everything.
**[20:53] Filo**
Come with us, Mel-chan.
**[20:54] Raphtalia**
Don't be selfish, Filo.
**[20:58] Melromarc**
Thank you too, Raphtalia-san.
**[21:00] Melromarc**
I promise to change Melromarc into
a better country for demi-humans.
**[21:05] Raphtalia**
Sure.
**[21:06] Raphtalia**
I know you can do it. I believe in you.
**[21:10] Naofumi**
Hurry up, Raphtalia, Filo!
Or I'll leave you behind!
**[21:13] Both**
C-Coming!
**[21:14] Raphtalia**
Goodbye.
**[21:14] Filo**
See you, Mel-chan.
**[21:17] Melromarc**
Naofumi's such a jerk!
**[21:20] Melromarc**
Why is he so cold?
**[21:21] Melromarc**
And where are his manners?
He should've thanked Mother.
**[21:28] Melromarc**
Mother?
**[21:29] Mirelia**
If Iwatani-sama hadn't stopped the execution,
**[21:33] Mirelia**
I was going to offer up my life
and beg him to spare theirs.
**[21:39] Mirelia**
Perhaps he saw right through me.
**[21:44] Melromarc**
Naofumi!
**[21:50] Raphtalia**
Melty-san didn't say anything
to you, Naofumi-sama.
**[21:54] Naofumi**
That's just how it goes.
**[21:56] Raphtalia**
No, it's because you didn't
let her say anything.
**[22:00] Naofumi**
Whatever.
**[22:01] Raphtalia**
Jeez.
**[22:04] Crowd**
Savior!
**[22:05] Crowd**
Shield Hero!
**[22:07] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, it's them!
**[22:13] Raphtalia**
Honor guard for the Shield Hero!
**[22:21] Naofumi**
Those guys...
**[22:28] Elhart**
Way to go, kid.
**[22:29] Crowd**
Take care!
**[22:29] Crowd**
Sir Hero!
**[22:32] Melromarc**
Naofumi!
**[22:38] Melromarc**
Naofumi, thank you for bringing me home!
**[22:42] Melromarc**
Thank you for saving Father and Sister!
**[22:50] Naofumi**
Sure. See you later.
**[22:54] Melromarc**
Yeah!
**[22:58] Naofumi**
*When I first passed these gates,*
**[23:01] Naofumi**
*all my money, respect, and trust was gone.*
**[23:04] Naofumi**
*I'd lost it all.*
**[23:06] Naofumi**
* It was all because I'd*
* ended up the Shield Hero.*
**[23:08] Naofumi**
* But I don't think I've got it*
* all back, nor do I want it.*
**[23:14] Naofumi**
* I've gained more important things*
* thanks to becoming the Shield Hero.*
**[23:21] Naofumi**
*Wherever the Waves go,*
**[23:23] Naofumi**
*I'll go with my friends.*
**[23:27] Naofumi**
* That is my job as one of the*
* Four Cardinal Heroes... as the Shield Hero!*

**[00:14] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[00:16] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama.
**[00:21] Filo**
We're here.
**[00:25] Raphtalia**
Look, Naofumi-sama.
**[00:29] Raphtalia**
The crest has changed from
three heroes to four.
**[00:33] Raphtalia**
This country is about to change.
**[00:36] Naofumi**
Yeah. And now we can actually upgrade
classes instead of being turned away.
**[00:40] Raphtalia**
We'd better thank the queen.
**[00:47] Ake Squadman**
Her Majesty entrusted us with
guarding the dragon hourglass.
**[00:53] Ake Squadman**
Now, come this way.
**[00:57] Ake Squadman**
We will hereby begin the
class upgrade ritual.
***SIGN*** Class upgrade process initiated
***SIGN*** Would you like to let the targets choose freely?
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Four Heroes Council
**[03:00] Mirelia**
Was there a problem?
**[03:04] Naofumi**
Yeah. We got to upgrade classes
thanks to you, but...
**[03:15] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Are you done?
**[03:21] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Wow, that's incredible!
**[03:25] (Flashback) Filo**
Hey, Master...
**[03:28] (Flashback) Naofumi**
What is it?
**[03:29] (Flashback) Filo**
I couldn't pick the one I wanted.
**[03:33] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Same here.
**[03:34] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I couldn't, either.
**[03:37] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Hey, what's going on here?
**[03:40] (Flashback) Ake Squadman**
Uh... that can't be!
**[03:44] Mirelia**
I have heard that specific items
**[03:46] Mirelia**
can sometimes affect the
class upgrade process.
**[03:52] Naofumi**
The cowlick Fitoria gave
her is probably the cause.
**[03:56] Filo**
Gah!
**[03:57] Mirelia**
Fitoria?
**[03:59] Mirelia**
You mean the Filolial Queen?
**[04:02] Melromarc**
I wish you could've seen her.
**[04:04] Melromarc**
She just looked so sublime!
**[04:06] Mirelia**
Melty!
**[04:08] Mirelia**
Could you tell me more?
**[04:11] Melromarc**
Of course!
**[04:12] Melromarc**
Fitoria-san in her bird form
was as big as a Tyrant,
**[04:16] Melromarc**
and had feathers the color of the sky.
**[04:18] Mirelia**
What else?
**[04:19] Melromarc**
On her head, she had special feathers
that were kind of like a crown.
**[04:22] Melromarc**
When she gave me a ride, I really
felt like I was in a dream!
**[04:29] Mirelia**
U-Unbelievable!
**[04:31] Mirelia**
I wish I could experience
that just once in my life!
**[04:36] Mirelia**
It must've been the most wonderful...
**[04:36] Naofumi**
Like daughter, like mother, huh?
**[04:41] Mirelia**
Pardon me.
**[04:43] Naofumi**
So?
**[04:44] Naofumi**
Why'd you call us here?
**[04:47] Mirelia**
I'm planning to throw a party tonight,
**[04:50] Mirelia**
with all four heroes in attendance.
**[04:53] Naofumi**
Tell me things like that sooner.
**[04:56] Mirelia**
If I had, you wouldn't have come.
**[05:00] Mirelia**
That said, the party is but an excuse.
**[05:05] Mirelia**
There's something I need
the heroes to know about.
**[05:10] Mirelia**
It's extremely important.
**[05:15] Naofumi**
Sorry I couldn't get you the
class upgrades you wanted.
**[05:20] Raphtalia**
It's not your fault.
**[05:22] Naofumi**
I wanted you to choose freely,
**[05:25] Naofumi**
so you'd be fine after I'm gone.
**[05:30] Maid**
This way, Sir Shield Hero.
**[05:33] Naofumi**
We'll talk later.
**[05:37] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[05:46] Melromarc**
I wasn't expecting to see
you so soon, Filo-chan.
**[05:50] Filo**
Same here!
**[05:51] Filo**
Oh, Mel-chan, let's explore
the castle later.
**[05:55] ---**
Okay!
**[05:57] Filo**
I'm hungry...
**[05:59] Filo**
Where's Master?
**[06:02] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama has something important to do,
**[06:05] Raphtalia**
so let's go ahead and start.
**[06:07] Filo**
'Kay.
**[06:21] Naofumi**
*What is with these guys?*
**[06:33] Raphtalia**
*If Naofumi-sama really does leave...*
**[06:38] Mald**
Having a filthy demi in here
is making my wine taste bad!
**[06:43] Mald**
You may be with the Shield,
but know your place!
**[06:49] Mald**
Listen well!
**[06:51] Mald**
As long as we have Itsuki-sama,
we don't need any other heroes!
**[06:56] Mald**
Especially not the disgrace
known as the Shield Hero!
**[07:01] Mald**
Tell your coward of a master
**[07:03] Mald**
to get lost before he gets hurt!
**[07:06] Mald**
Got that?
**[07:08] Raphtalia**
Who'll be the one to really
get hurt, I wonder?
**[07:15] Maid**
What's all this ruckus?
**[07:17] Maid**
There's a fight happening
in the reception hall!
**[07:26] Melromarc**
That pie...
**[07:29] Melromarc**
Who is it for,
**[07:31] Melromarc**
Sister?
**[07:36] Mirelia**
I would like to begin the conference soon,
**[07:40] Mirelia**
but you don't seem pleased to be here.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Fitoria**
Did you really try to make up with them?
**[07:50] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Not this again.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Fitoria**
Did you try to clear your name?
**[07:56] Naofumi**
Since we're all here anyway,
**[07:58] Naofumi**
why don't we have a heart-to-heart?
**[08:03] Naofumi**
Go ahead and start.
**[08:06] Mirelia**
Recently, due to the
Three Heroes Church's antics,
**[08:10] Mirelia**
our country has caused you a lot of trouble,
**[08:13] Mirelia**
and we would very much like
to make it up to you.
**[08:17] Mirelia**
It seems Cal Mira Archipelago
will activate soon.
**[08:22] Ren**
Really?
**[08:23] Itsuki**
It's going to generate a bonus field?
**[08:26] Naofumi**
"Activate"?
**[08:28] Mirelia**
By activate,
**[08:30] Mirelia**
we mean the once-in-a-decade event where
**[08:34] Mirelia**
XP gained in the area is boosted.
**[08:38] Motoyasu**
You didn't even know about that?
**[08:43] Melromarc**
Excuse me.
**[08:44] Melromarc**
You may enter.
**[08:53] Mirelia**
It's a good thing we
didn't attend the party.
**[08:57] Mirelia**
Mal—no, Bitch apparently tried to poison
the food meant for Iwatani-sama's party.
**[09:04] Motoyasu**
Lies!
**[09:05] Motoyasu**
My—I mean, Slut would never do that!
**[09:09] Melromarc**
No, Si—Bitch admitted it,
thanks to her slave pact.
**[09:15] Motoyasu**
N-No...
**[09:18] Mirelia**
Kitamura-sama, you have forged
a slave pact with her as well.
**[09:22] Mirelia**
Why don't you confirm for yourself later?
**[09:27] Naofumi**
Forget about that and keep going.
**[09:29] Mirelia**
While my daughter's foolish
actions certainly played a part,
**[09:33] Mirelia**
the infighting between you heroes has
prevented you from leveling up more.
**[09:39] Mirelia**
As such, to ensure that you level up
efficiently in Cal Mira,
**[09:44] Mirelia**
why don't you speak your minds
and exchange information?
**[09:49] Ren**
There's no need for that.
**[09:51] Motoyasu**
Exchange information?
There's nothing to say.
**[09:55] Itsuki**
It would be a waste of time.
**[09:57] Naofumi**
*These guys haven't learned a thing.*
**[10:01] Mirelia**
It seems you don't understand,
so let me be perfectly frank.
**[10:07] Mirelia**
If this keeps up, in the next Wave,
**[10:10] Mirelia**
all the heroes except Iwatani-sama
will lose their lives.
**[10:21] Ren**
What do you mean?
**[10:23] Mirelia**
Exactly what I said.
**[10:25] Mirelia**
You three were defeated in the last Wave,
**[10:29] Mirelia**
so I doubt you'll survive the next one.
**[10:33] Mirelia**
All four heroes need to
rally together to survive the Waves.
**[10:39] Mirelia**
Think of this conference as a way
to cultivate that solidarity.
**[10:43] Naofumi**
*The queen's right on the money,*
**[10:46] Naofumi**
* but can I really "rally together"*
* with these guys?*
**[10:52] Itsuki**
First, let's ask Naofumi-san.
**[10:55] Ren**
Where'd you get that cheat shield?
**[11:00] Naofumi**
Huh?
**[11:08] Raphtalia**
I dare you to say that again!
**[11:10] Mald**
I'll say it as many times as it takes!
**[11:13] Mald**
Stupid Shield!
**[11:14] Mald**
Loser!
**[11:16] Mald**
Weakling hero!
**[11:18] Mald**
If you don't like it, prove me wrong!
**[11:20] Mald**
Come on, what's the matter?
**[11:22] Adventurer**
I can understand how you must feel,
but please calm down.
**[11:26] Raphtalia**
I know. I'm perfectly calm.
**[11:31] Raphtalia**
I'll calmly dispose of this trash.
**[11:38] Naofumi**
Listen up.
**[11:40] Naofumi**
This shield isn't a cheat or anything.
**[11:44] Naofumi**
It's just the result of my hard work.
**[11:50] Naofumi**
Fine. I'll tell you what I know.
**[11:55] Naofumi**
In return,
**[11:57] Naofumi**
you guys talk first.
**[12:00] Itsuki**
What do we do?
**[12:02] Ren**
Do we have a choice?
**[12:05] Motoyasu**
Fine...
**[12:07] Motoyasu**
First, the basics.
**[12:09] Motoyasu**
When you pick up a weapon of the same
type as your legendary weapon,
***SIGN*** Copied Iron Spear
**[12:13] Motoyasu**
you can copy it using
the weapon copy system.
***SIGN*** Iron Spear
***SIGN*** Rarity:
**[12:17] Itsuki**
It sure helped us at the start, because we
got all these strong weapons for free.
**[12:21] Ren**
Yeah.
**[12:21] Naofumi**
Wait a second.
**[12:22] Naofumi**
All you have to do is pick it up?
**[12:24] Motoyasu**
Yeah.
**[12:26] Itsuki**
Naofumi-san, don't tell me you didn't know...
**[12:29] Naofumi**
Keep going.
**[12:31] Ren**
Next, with the required
crafting skill and recipes,
**[12:34] Ren**
when you feed your weapon the materials,
**[12:36] Ren**
it'll automatically craft the items you need.
**[12:39] Naofumi**
God, I've been doing it by hand.
***SIGN*** Empty Bottle
***SIGN*** Craft Empty Bottle
**[12:42] Itsuki**
What's wrong with you?
**[12:44] Itsuki**
And then, there's a teleport skill.
**[12:47] Itsuki**
You can move instantly to any
location you've registered with it.
**[12:51] Itsuki**
Wait, did you not know about this one, either?
**[12:54] Naofumi**
* What did I even go through*
* all that nonsense for?*
**[12:57] Itsuki**
You don't seem to be aware,
**[13:00] Itsuki**
so I'll tell you the secret
to growing stronger.
**[13:04] Itsuki**
In this world, weapon rarity is everything.
**[13:09] Itsuki**
So if you develop weapons
that are more rare...
**[13:11] Ren**
Don't lie.
**[13:13] Ren**
A weapon's potency depends on proficiency.
**[13:15] Motoyasu**
Wrong. All wrong.
**[13:17] Motoyasu**
Refinement and stats are
the most important factors.
**[13:20] Itsuki**
What are you saying?
Each weapon has a rarity...
**[13:23] Ren**
No, you're lying. That doesn't exist.
**[13:26] Motoyasu**
Again, you have to refine the weapons...
**[13:28] Itsuki**
*That's* the lie!
**[13:29] Motoyasu**
It's the truth! Just check the help screen!
**[13:31] Ren**
My help screen doesn't say anything like that!
**[13:41] Rishia**
Everyone, please sto—
**[13:49] Ren**
You lying hypocrites.
**[13:51] Motoyasu**
Say what?
**[13:52] Ren**
What?
**[13:53] Itsuki**
Says the show-off who's trying to act all cool.
**[13:56] Ren**
Draw your sword.
**[13:56] Motoyasu**
What sword? I'm the Spear Hero!
**[13:57] Naofumi**
This ain't it.
**[14:01] Raphtalia**
Enough!
**[14:03] Itsuki**
And I'm the Bow...
**[14:05] Naofumi**
You guys...
**[14:07] Raphtalia**
Give it a rest!
**[14:09] Naofumi**
...are a lost cause!
**[14:17] Raphtalia**
I'm so sorry.
**[14:19] Raphtalia**
I couldn't stand him insulting you.
**[14:22] Naofumi**
I see. Things didn't go
much better on my end.
**[14:28] Naofumi**
Oh yeah, where's Filo?
**[14:30] Raphtalia**
She's sleeping in Melty-chan's room tonight.
**[14:34] Raphtalia**
Those two really are close.
**[14:38] Naofumi**
I know, right?
**[14:41] Naofumi**
"Close," huh?
**[14:47] Naofumi**
Yeah, I don't see a weapon copy system.
**[14:51] Naofumi**
*But they didn't seem to be lying.*
**[14:56] Naofumi**
*If those upgrading methods they talked about*
**[15:00] Naofumi**
*were unique to their legendary weapons...*
**[15:10] Naofumi**
I guess I'll believe in them a little.
***SIGN*** Weapon Copy skill unlocked
**[15:20] Naofumi**
It's real!
**[15:26] Naofumi**
Where are the other heroes?
**[15:28] Mirelia**
They left earlier.
**[15:31] Naofumi**
* I wanted to tell them about*
* what I found last night.*
**[15:35] Naofumi**
I can always do it later.
**[15:36] Mirelia**
The ship you're taking is docked
in a harbor quite a ways away.
**[15:40] Mirelia**
You should hurry too, Iwatani-sama.
**[15:43] Naofumi**
Let's get going, then.
**[15:46] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[15:46] Filo**
'Kay.
**[15:47] Mirelia**
I wish you luck.
**[15:48] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[15:50] Melromarc**
Naofumi...
**[15:55] Melromarc**
You'd better work hard and level up.
**[16:04] Mirelia**
You wanted to go with them, didn't you?
**[16:08] Melromarc**
No.
**[16:09] Melromarc**
I have my own job to do.
**[16:19] Elhart**
Heya, kid.
**[16:21] Elhart**
That trial felt pretty good, eh?
**[16:27] Elhart**
Wait, what are you doing?
***SIGN*** Copied Shadowsteel Shield
***SIGN*** Shadowsteel Shield
***SIGN*** Rarity:
**[16:38] Naofumi**
It worked.
**[16:40] Elhart**
"It worked," my ass!
**[16:42] Elhart**
You're gonna run me out
of business with that!
**[16:46] Raphtalia**
How did you do that?
**[16:47] Filo**
You're amazing, Master!
**[16:49] Elhart**
He's not! That's just a crime!
**[16:51] Naofumi**
Sorry about this, boss.
**[16:53] Elhart**
Don't! Stop! That one's expensive!
**[16:57] Elhart**
That one's really rare!
**[16:59] Elhart**
Hey, that shield...
**[17:01] Raphtalia**
Use this, too.
**[17:02] Filo**
Got you one.
**[17:04] Elhart**
Whatever! Do what you want!
**[17:12] Elhart**
Happy now?
**[17:13] Naofumi**
Yeah. I'll pay you back for this, I promise.
**[17:16] Elhart**
Sheesh... I'll put it on your tab.
**[17:19] Elhart**
Go make a killing in Cal Mira.
**[17:21] Naofumi**
Got it.
***SIGN*** Soul Eater Shield
**[17:35] Naofumi**
All right.
**[17:36] Naofumi**
That should do it.
**[17:38] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[17:40] Raphtalia**
Can we take a little detour?
**[17:58] Raphtalia**
Welcome home,
**[18:00] Raphtalia**
Rifana-chan.
**[18:06] Naofumi**
*So this is Raphtalia's village.*
**[18:10] Naofumi**
Did you guys bury her?
**[18:13] Van**
Yes.
**[18:14] Van**
Everyone in the village helped.
**[18:17] Keel**
Raphtalia-chan...
**[18:20] Keel**
Let's make sure the village
goes back to how it used to be.
**[18:24] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[18:26] Van**
Just like those two,
**[18:28] Van**
there must be many more survivors
scattered throughout the land.
**[18:32] Van**
I wish there was something
I could do to help them.
**[18:43] Naofumi**
"Something I could do to help," huh?
**[18:47] L'arc**
Hey!
**[18:51] L'arc**
Do you live here?
**[18:54] Naofumi**
Nah, just passing through.
**[18:56] L'arc**
I see.
**[18:58] L'arc**
But man, this is an awful sight.
**[19:00] L'arc**
Nothing but rubble as far as the eye can see...
**[19:04] L'arc**
I bet your place got wrecked too, lad.
**[19:07] L'arc**
What's wrong, lad?
**[19:10] Naofumi**
Uh, I'll have you know I'm twenty.
**[19:13] L'arc**
Oh, my bad.
**[19:15] L'arc**
I end up talking that way to
people who look younger than me.
**[19:18] L'arc**
Don't let it bother you.
**[19:19] Therese**
L'Arc, we should go.
**[19:22] L'arc**
Got it.
**[19:24] L'arc**
We have to win.
**[19:26] Therese**
Yes.
**[19:27] L'arc**
See ya!
**[19:40] Naofumi**
Are you good to go?
**[19:43] Raphtalia**
I am.
**[19:45] Raphtalia**
I got to tell Dad, Mom,
and Rifana that I was on my way.
**[19:51] Naofumi**
That so?
**[19:58] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[20:00] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[20:02] Raphtalia**
You won't leave me, right?
**[20:07] Raphtalia**
I...
**[20:08] Raphtalia**
I can't imagine a world without you.
**[20:12] Filo**
Master, are you going somewhere?
**[20:17] Naofumi**
Don't worry.
**[20:19] Naofumi**
I'm not going anywhere.
**[20:20] Filo**
Really?
**[20:21] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[20:22] Naofumi**
I can't leave this world in the hands
of the Three Cardinal Stooges.
**[20:27] Naofumi**
Right?
**[20:32] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[20:34] Naofumi**
* I can't leave until these*
* two find happiness.*
**[20:37] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[20:39] Filo**
What's wrong?
**[20:40] Naofumi**
It's nothing.
**[20:42] Filo**
What were you thinking just now, Master?
**[20:45] Naofumi**
Drop it.
**[20:47] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[20:48] Filo**
Why won't you tell us?
**[20:50] Raphtalia**
Give it a rest, Filo.
**[20:52] Filo**
Boo! At least I'm not a nag like you!
**[20:54] Raphtalia**
Wha...
**[20:54] Raphtalia**
When did I ever nag anyone?!
**[20:56] Filo**
Hmph! Ask yourself!
**[20:58] Raphtalia**
Quit messing around, Filo.
**[21:00] Raphtalia**
You're bothering Naofumi-sama.
**[21:02] Filo**
I am not!
**[21:04] Raphtalia**
You are, too!
**[21:05] Filo**
You bother him all the time, too!
**[21:10] Raphtalia**
Is that the ship we're taking?
**[21:17] Naofumi**
Only so many ships can depart in a day.
**[21:20] Naofumi**
They're such idiots.
**[21:22] Raphtalia**
Let's go, Naofumi-sama.
**[21:23] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[23:00] Captain**
We're terribly sorry!
**[23:02] Captain**
We prepared a private room for you,
**[23:06] Captain**
but the other heroes arrived
early and took over all the cabins.
**[23:12] Naofumi**
Revenge for being made to wait, huh?
**[23:14] Raphtalia**
Not a good sign for the future.
**[23:18] Captain**
You'll be sharing this room,
but we really hope you'll make do.
**[23:22] Naofumi**
Sure.
**[23:24] L'arc**
Come in.
**[23:27] Naofumi**
Ack!
**[23:30] L'arc**
Oh! Hello, lad!
**[23:32] L'arc**
We meet again!

**[00:35] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[00:35] Naofumi**
* Oh, right. I forgot that my*
* shield translates for me.*
**[00:40] Therese**
Allow me to introduce myself again.
I'm Therese Alexanderite.
**[00:43] Raphtalia**
I'm Raphtalia.
**[00:45] Filo**
My name is Filo!
**[00:48] L'arc**
Nice to meetcha.
**[00:49] L'arc**
And you?
**[00:51] Naofumi**
Naofumi.
**[00:53] Naofumi**
Iwatani Naofumi.
**[00:55] L'arc**
"Naofumi"?
**[01:00] L'arc**
Dude, if you're gonna use an alias,
at least don't pick the Shield Hero's name!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Cal Mira Archipelago
**[02:37] Naofumi**
I am the Shield Hero, though.
**[02:42] L'arc**
You? The Shield Hero?
**[02:44] Therese**
You're laughing too much, L'Arc.
**[02:46] Therese**
But I agree that you should
use a different alias.
**[02:50] Raphtalia**
Huh? Uh...
**[02:51] L'arc**
You see, the Shield Hero
is one evil scumbag.
**[02:56] L'arc**
He indulges in scams,
blackmail, and kidnapping.
**[02:58] L'arc**
He even has friends in high places who
execute whoever ends up on his bad side.
**[03:02] L'arc**
He's a devil in human clothing.
**[03:05] Naofumi**
Not too far from the mark, I guess.
**[03:07] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[03:09] L'arc**
I know we've only just met, but I can tell.
**[03:11] L'arc**
You're nothing like that scumbag, kiddo.
**[03:17] L'arc**
Well, it's fine if you wanna hide your name.
**[03:21] L'arc**
Nice to meetcha, Shield Kiddo.
**[03:23] Therese**
Are you all headed for
Cal Mira to level up, too?
**[03:27] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[03:28] Filo**
That's right.
**[03:29] L'arc**
Oh? Wanna team up, then?
**[03:32] L'arc**
A bigger party would make
things more efficient.
**[03:34] Naofumi**
Team up with you two?
**[03:37] Man**
Excuse me!
**[03:40] Naofumi**
The four of us are to greet them together?
**[03:43] Man**
Yeah.
**[03:44] Man**
It'd really pump up the crew to have
the legendary heroes speak to them.
**[03:50] Naofumi**
Well, whatever.
**[03:52] Naofumi**
*While I'm at it,*
***SIGN*** Weapon Copy skill unlocked
**[03:53] Naofumi**
* I'll let the others know that if you believe in the*
* systems the others tell you about, you can use them.*
**[04:02] Itsuki**
How are you okay, Naofumi-san?
**[04:06] Ren**
That overpowered shield again?
**[04:10] Naofumi**
You got what you deserved for
occupying all the private cabins.
**[04:13] Naofumi**
Forget that, listen to this.
**[04:15] Naofumi**
It's about item refining and all that
stuff you guys mentioned in that meeting.
**[04:19] Motoyasu**
Stop it.
**[04:21] Motoyasu**
I don't wanna listen to
complicated stuff right now.
**[04:24] Naofumi**
This is important!
**[04:26] Naofumi**
If you believe those systems exist...
**[04:28] Itsuki**
Please don't be so loud.
You're making me nauseous.
**[04:32] Naofumi**
If you believe in those systems...
**[04:49] Filo**
Master, we're having
grilled fish for dinner!
**[04:54] Naofumi**
She can swim?
**[04:56] Itsuki**
That's your first response?
**[04:59] Raphtalia**
This fish stench...
**[05:02] L'arc**
Hey, Shield Kiddo.
**[05:04] L'arc**
Huh? What's with them?
**[05:06] Naofumi**
You need something?
**[05:08] L'arc**
I don't, but Therese does.
**[05:10] Therese**
Raphtalia-san told me you're
quite skilled at jewel crafting.
**[05:15] Therese**
Would you make me an accessory?
**[05:17] Naofumi**
Well, that came out of nowhere.
**[05:19] Naofumi**
I don't mind, but I'll need the materials.
**[05:21] Therese**
You can use anything in here.
**[05:24] Therese**
Of course, I'll also pay you.
**[05:30] Naofumi**
* This is pretty damn good.*
* I could certainly use it.*
**[05:33] Therese**
Well?
**[05:34] Naofumi**
I can only work on it when I'm not grinding levels,
so it'll take a while.
**[05:38] Naofumi**
If that's okay with you, sure.
**[05:39] Therese**
Please do!
**[05:41] L'arc**
Good for you, Therese.
**[05:43] Therese**
Yeah!
**[05:45] L'arc**
I'm counting on ya, Shield Kiddo.
**[05:48] L'arc**
Oh, the sea's getting rougher.
**[05:51] L'arc**
Looks like a storm's brewing.
**[05:53] Naofumi**
Really?
**[05:54] L'arc**
Yeah. The crew are saying
we're in for a hard night.
**[06:07] Raphtalia**
So this is Cal Mira!
**[06:09] Filo**
It's hot here! The sun's blazing!
**[06:12] Raphtalia**
Yeah, it's like last night's
storm never happened!
**[06:15] Naofumi**
*Uh, it was a really bumpy ride.*
**[06:17] Naofumi**
* How come she didn't get seasick when*
* she gets so sick in the wagon?*
**[06:21] Motoyasu**
Th-This isn't what it looks like,
Filo-tan. There's a reason...
**[06:24] Naofumi**
*Well, they definitely had a rough time.*
**[06:26] Habenburg**
Welcome.
**[06:29] Habenburg**
My name is Habenburg,
and I govern the Cal Mira Archipelago.
**[06:34] Habenburg**
I'm here to take you
Four Cardinal Heroes to your inn.
**[06:38] Ren**
U-Ugh... I feel sick.
**[06:39] Habenburg**
Or, well, that was the plan,
**[06:41] Habenburg**
but I suppose I'll have to take
just you there first, Shield Hero.
**[06:46] Naofumi**
* The Cal Mira Archipelago is a group*
* of small islands bunched together.*
**[06:50] Naofumi**
*It's a popular tourist destination,*
**[06:52] Naofumi**
* partly due to a legend that the*
* heroes of the past trained here.*
**[06:57] Naofumi**
*That smells like bullshit to me, honestly.*
**[07:00] Naofumi**
* And since the activation has brought*
* adventurers here in great numbers,*
**[07:04] Naofumi**
* certain ground rules have*
* been put in place.*
**[07:07] Naofumi**
"It's okay to travel
between islands by boat.
**[07:10] Naofumi**
Try to kill as many monsters as possible.
**[07:13] Naofumi**
Avoid barging into other adventurers'
battles to steal their prey."
**[07:18] Naofumi**
What is this, a guide to MMO etiquette?
**[07:20] Filo**
MMO?
**[07:21] Naofumi**
Don't worry about it.
**[07:23] Naofumi**
Anyway...
**[07:25] Naofumi**
This is a statue of the original
inhabitants who developed these islands?
**[07:28] Raphtalia**
And there's apparently an epigraph
left by a Cardinal Hero.
**[07:32] Filo**
Is this it?
**[07:34] Naofumi**
It's magical writing.
**[07:36] Naofumi**
As source of thy power,
the Shield Hero orders thee.
**[07:39] Naofumi**
Decipher this message
**[07:41] Naofumi**
and energize my target.
**[07:44] Naofumi**
Zweit Aura.
**[07:47] Filo**
Oh, I feel more powerful now.
**[07:57] Filo**
Nailed it!
**[07:58] Naofumi**
A hero of the past left this here, huh?
**[08:01] Naofumi**
So the legend was true.
**[08:03] L'arc**
Hey, Shield Kiddo!
**[08:06] L'arc**
Filo sure got some height on that.
**[08:09] L'arc**
It helped us find you guys.
**[08:12] L'arc**
But man, why'd you get off the boat
without saying goodbye? That's so cold.
**[08:16] Naofumi**
Why should I have to?
**[08:18] L'arc**
Hey, company can make or break a trip.
**[08:21] L'arc**
Besides, you never said if
you'd level up with us or not.
**[08:24] Therese**
We both just got here,
**[08:27] Therese**
so it will have to wait until
we get our bearings, but yeah.
**[08:31] Naofumi**
* I guess it can't hurt. They seem*
* accustomed to battle, too.*
**[08:35] Naofumi**
I don't mind, but we'll cut
you off if you hold us back.
**[08:40] L'arc**
Right back at ya.
**[08:42] L'arc**
Do your best until we party up.
**[08:46] Raphtalia**
I'm a little surprised.
**[08:49] Raphtalia**
I was sure you found L'Arc-san
hard to deal with.
**[08:52] Naofumi**
It's not that. He just throws me off.
**[08:57] Naofumi**
It's afternoon already.
**[08:59] Naofumi**
We don't have much time,
but let's go grind some levels.
**[09:02] Filo**
'Kay!
**[09:02] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[09:12] Naofumi**
Even trash mobs you can
one-shot give this much XP?
**[09:15] Naofumi**
What's more, they spawn endlessly.
**[09:26] Raphtalia**
They're so weak, it's hard
to work up much enthusiasm.
**[09:31] Raphtalia**
Is something wrong?
**[09:32] Naofumi**
We suddenly stopped gaining XP.
**[09:37] Itsuki**
So it was you.
**[09:41] Naofumi**
Itsuki...
**[09:42] Motoyasu**
Huh? What happened to my XP?
**[09:45] Myne**
Ugh...
**[09:46] Ren**
Why are you guys here?
**[09:48] Ren**
I can't farm any XP like this.
**[09:51] Ren**
Go somewhere else.
**[09:53] Motoyasu**
Huh? You go.
**[09:55] Itsuki**
You too, Motoyasu-san.
**[09:57] Itsuki**
I found this spot first.
**[10:00] Motoyasu**
I did!
**[10:01] Ren**
No, me.
**[10:02] Itsuki**
I did.
**[10:03] Naofumi**
This is stupid. We're outta here.
**[10:03] Motoyasu**
No, I did!
**[10:05] Itsuki**
Are you a child?
**[10:05] Motoyasu**
A child? I'm twenty-one!
**[10:06] Ren**
I did.
**[10:18] Filo**
You're going down!
**[10:26] Naofumi**
That's a lot of XP, even if it was a boss.
**[10:29] Filo**
Fighting here is fun!
I like this island better!
**[10:34] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[10:36] Raphtalia**
I'm not sure this sword
will last much longer.
**[10:38] Naofumi**
When did it get so bad?
**[10:40] Raphtalia**
Perhaps our power levels have
outgrown our weapons' durability.
**[10:44] Naofumi**
Filo's, too?
**[10:47] Naofumi**
We'll have to go buy some new weapons
from the boss before the next Wave.
**[10:51] Raphtalia**
The Wave...
**[10:53] Naofumi**
Well, we probably have time.
**[10:56] Naofumi**
Now, let's see if we got any good drops.
***SIGN*** Monster
***SIGN*** Karma Dog
**[11:11] Naofumi**
Those should keep you going for a while.
**[11:14] Raphtalia**
Thank you.
**[11:16] Filo**
Thanks, Master.
**[11:18] Raphtalia**
It's getting dark.
**[11:21] Raphtalia**
Shall we head back?
**[11:22] Naofumi**
Nah. Let's keep at it for a while longer.
**[11:29] Naofumi**
I knew we'd get better drops at night.
**[11:33] Naofumi**
The enemies are stronger, though.
**[11:35] Raphtalia**
We're used to fighting in the dark,
so we'll be fine considering the level gap.
**[11:40] Raphtalia**
What I'm more worried about is...
**[11:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, you're tired, aren't you?
**[11:47] Naofumi**
I'm amazed you noticed.
**[11:49] Naofumi**
The curse from when I used
Blood Sacrifice is still bothering me.
**[11:52] Naofumi**
Just a little.
**[11:54] Naofumi**
Don't look so worried.
**[11:56] Naofumi**
I'm not forcing anything, and I can
handle the enemies on this island fine.
**[12:10] L'arc**
Found ya, kiddo.
**[12:13] Raphtalia**
Why are you two here?
**[12:16] Therese**
Your ferryman was freaking out,
saying you weren't coming back.
**[12:20] Naofumi**
So you came looking for us?
**[12:22] Naofumi**
Adventurers dying on quests
shouldn't be anything new.
**[12:26] Raphtalia**
That doesn't mean we can ignore you.
**[12:28] Raphtalia**
I couldn't sleep at night if
my acquaintances were found dead.
**[12:31] Naofumi**
"Acquaintances"?
**[12:33] Raphtalia**
Aren't we?
**[12:34] Raphtalia**
You're not gonna say we aren't, right?
**[12:37] Naofumi**
Well...
**[12:38] Therese**
We just got here today.
**[12:41] Therese**
I can understand wanting to grind more,
but why not call it a day?
**[12:45] Raphtalia**
I agree with Therese-san.
**[12:48] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[12:50] Naofumi**
Fine. Let's head back.
**[12:52] L'arc**
That's that.
**[12:53] L'arc**
Then...
**[12:55] L'arc**
Join me for a drink.
**[13:04] L'arc**
To our safe return!
**[13:06] L'arc**
Cheers!
**[13:11] L'arc**
Refill, pops!
**[13:13] Barkeep**
Coming!
**[14:13] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[14:16] Naofumi**
I didn't know wine's made from these.
**[14:18] L'arc**
They're so strong, you have to dilute one in
a cask of water to get something drinkable.
**[14:23] Naofumi**
It's pretty tasty eaten as-is.
**[14:25] L'arc**
You go way beyond being
able to hold your drink.
**[14:35] Naofumi**
* I never thought the day would come when*
* I could drink and have fun like this.*
**[14:40] Therese**
I'm glad to be fighting alongside you today.
**[14:42] Raphtalia**
Likewise.
**[14:43] Naofumi**
Here's the accessory you
asked me to make, Therese.
**[14:48] Therese**
Thank you!
**[14:50] Naofumi**
I can't believe you had a starfire.
Those things are rare.
**[14:54] Naofumi**
And then I used an oracle
crystal I got as the base...
**[15:03] Therese**
The jewel...
**[15:05] Therese**
It's filled with joy.
**[15:08] Therese**
I had no idea you were
such a master craftsman.
**[15:11] L'arc**
D-Do you have to cry about it?
**[15:13] Therese**
Don't you get it, L'Arc?
**[15:15] Therese**
This masterpiece is like a whole new world
opening up to me!
**[15:18] L'arc**
I-I see.
**[15:20] Naofumi**
Well, I'm glad you like it.
**[15:24] Naofumi**
Also, about the payment.
**[15:29] Naofumi**
Hey, this is...
**[15:31] Therese**
It's not nearly enough, right? I know!
**[15:35] Therese**
L'Arc, give him all the money you have, too!
**[15:38] L'arc**
Huh?
**[15:38] Therese**
Look, just do it!
**[15:41] Naofumi**
You can pay me in installments.
**[15:43] Naofumi**
Let's go grind some levels.
**[15:47] L'arc**
Your party is pretty high-level, kiddo.
**[15:50] L'arc**
Therese is 52, and I'm 56.
**[15:53] Naofumi**
*They already got their class upgrades.*
**[15:55] Naofumi**
*Not your everyday adventurers, then.*
**[16:01] Naofumi**
I'd like to discuss our strategy.
**[16:07] L'arc**
We can do that as we fight!
**[16:13] L'arc**
The shield is your weapon, eh?
**[16:14] L'arc**
You're really committed
to the act, "Sir Hero."
**[16:16] Naofumi**
Keep talking.
**[16:17] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo...
**[16:26] Therese**
Jeez, that L'Arc... He's having fun.
**[16:29] Therese**
I beseech thee,
power of jewels far and wide.
**[16:32] Therese**
Heed my call and come to me.
**[16:35] Therese**
My name is Therese Alexanderite.
**[16:37] Therese**
My friends, be the force
that destroys my targets!
**[16:42] Therese**
Bejeweled Ruby Blaze!
**[16:50] Raphtalia**
I've never heard a chant like that before.
**[16:53] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[16:53] Raphtalia**
C-Coming!
**[16:58] Therese**
I never even dreamed it'd be so powerful.
**[17:09] Naofumi**
The XP curve got much worse past Level 70.
**[17:13] L'arc**
Let's go after that big fella, then.
**[17:18] L'arc**
Just the boss wouldn't be a big deal,
but all these tiny ones will be a pain.
**[17:22] Naofumi**
Leave those to me.
I'll gather them in one place.
**[17:26] L'arc**
Oh?
**[17:26] Therese**
I'll take them out once he does.
**[17:28] Therese**
L'Arc and Raphtalia-san can attack the boss.
**[17:31] Raphtalia**
Got it.
**[17:33] Naofumi**
Ready?
**[17:34] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Hate Reaction!
**[17:45] Naofumi**
Therese!
**[17:46] Therese**
I beseech thee,
power of jewels far and wide.
**[17:49] Therese**
Heed my call and come to me.
**[17:52] Therese**
Bejeweled Ruby Blaze!
**[18:02] Filo**
Master!
**[18:04] L'arc**
Relax.
**[18:09] Naofumi**
* I'm within the flames,*
* but I don't feel hot at all.*
**[18:17] Naofumi**
*Not only am I not taking damage,*
**[18:19] Naofumi**
* it feels like the weight of the curse*
* has been lifted from my body.*
**[18:23] Naofumi**
Just this one left!
**[18:25] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[18:25] L'arc**
We got this!
**[18:30] Filo**
Are you okay, Master?
**[18:32] Naofumi**
Yeah. That was one strange magic spell.
**[18:35] Naofumi**
Even my clothes didn't get singed.
**[18:37] Raphtalia**
And I'd never heard the
chant before, either.
**[18:40] Naofumi**
I guess there are all sorts
of magic in this world.
**[18:44] Naofumi**
Hey, let's split the drops.
**[18:47] L'arc**
Sure. What'd we get?
**[18:49] Naofumi**
Some weird item.
**[18:52] L'arc**
"Weird"?
**[18:53] Naofumi**
See for yourself.
**[18:55] L'arc**
The heck is this?
**[18:58] Raphtalia**
Thanks to you two, we gained a
lot of levels in just one day.
**[19:01] Filo**
I had fun!
**[19:03] Therese**
As did we.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
Wanna team up again tomorrow, then?
**[19:09] L'arc**
We'll take it as it comes from here.
**[19:11] Naofumi**
Oh...
**[19:12] L'arc**
See ya, Shield Kiddo.
**[19:14] Therese**
Thanks for today.
**[19:16] Raphtalia**
Thank you, too.
**[19:18] Filo**
Later!
**[19:20] Raphtalia**
I didn't expect you to ask them.
**[19:22] Raphtalia**
You never do that.
**[19:23] Naofumi**
I got rejected, though.
**[19:25] Naofumi**
* Maybe I'll ask them to join my party*
* after we finish leveling up.*
**[19:30] Naofumi**
Today was hard work, so shall
we take the day off tomorrow?
**[19:33] Filo**
Yay!
**[19:34] Raphtalia**
I don't mind either way,
**[19:37] Raphtalia**
but you do need a break.
**[19:44] Filo**
Master!
**[19:46] Filo**
I found an island.
**[19:48] Naofumi**
Big deal. There are islands everywhere here.
**[19:50] Filo**
No, no.
**[19:52] Filo**
I found another island with
a red glow on the sea floor.
**[19:55] Naofumi**
An island... on the sea floor?
**[19:57] Filo**
There was this big brick building, too!
**[20:01] Naofumi**
We've hit a wall with leveling up,
**[20:04] Naofumi**
so it might be a nice change of pace.
**[20:09] Raphtalia**
Um, Naofumi-sama...
**[20:15] Raphtalia**
How do I look?
**[20:17] Naofumi**
* If she's dressed like that, she'll be*
* fine even if water leaks into the suit.*
**[20:22] Naofumi**
Perfect!
**[20:25] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raphtalia!
**[20:26] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[20:39] Naofumi**
* Wow. I can breathe even after*
* ten minutes underwater.*
**[20:45] Naofumi**
* It's almost completely intact,*
* but I don't see a way in.*
**[20:53] Naofumi**
* Opening this door underwater*
* will be impossible.*
**[21:02] Naofumi**
*There's air inside?*
**[21:13] Filo**
It's too dark to see.
**[21:16] Naofumi**
Raphtalia.
**[21:17] Raphtalia**
Got it.
**[21:18] Raphtalia**
First Light.
**[21:29] Naofumi**
There's a dragon hourglass here? No way!
**[21:32] Raphtalia**
But it does look the same as the one
at the cathedral back in the capital.
**[21:37] Filo**
Master?
**[21:38] Naofumi**
Any place with an hourglass
can be attacked by a Wave.
**[21:42] Raphtalia**
If a Wave attacks this place,
the islanders will all die!
**[21:45] Naofumi**
Calm down. We don't know for sure yet.
**[21:48] Raphtalia**
Right...
**[21:57] Naofumi**
The next Wave is coming...
**[22:00] Naofumi**
in two days?!

***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Guardians of Another World
**[01:31] Naofumi**
* After finding a dragon hourglass in an*
* underwater temple off the coast of Cal Mira,*
**[01:36] Naofumi**
* we hurriedly made preparations*
* for the incoming Wave.*
**[01:46] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Raphtalia.
**[01:47] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Got it.
**[01:49] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
First Light.
**[02:00] (Flashback) Naofumi**
There's a dragon hourglass here? No way!
**[02:03] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
If a Wave attacks this place,
the islanders will all die!
**[02:12] (Flashback) Naofumi**
The next Wave is coming...
**[02:15] (Flashback) Naofumi**
in two days?!
**[02:19] Naofumi**
* I used my teleport skill*
* to return to the capital.*
**[02:23] Naofumi**
* And when I explained the*
* situation to the queen,*
**[02:25] Naofumi**
* she immediately put together*
* an army to fight the Wave.*
**[02:29] Naofumi**
* It's quite likely that this*
* Wave will occur out at sea.*
**[02:33] Naofumi**
* That's why we're all on ships,*
* waiting to be teleported to the Wave.*
**[02:39] Naofumi**
* Of course, even the ships were*
* arranged for by the queen.*
**[02:43] Naofumi**
*Unlike the trash king,*
**[02:45] Naofumi**
*she's thankfully quick on the uptake.*
**[02:48] Mirelia**
We made it, somehow.
**[02:50] Naofumi**
I'm amazed you put together this
big army in such a short time.
**[02:54] Melromarc**
This is nothing.
**[02:56] Melromarc**
Dealing with the Waves is an important
responsibility of the royal family.
**[03:00] Naofumi**
Why did you come along, too?
**[03:01] Melromarc**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[03:05] Melromarc**
I'm...
**[03:06] Melromarc**
I'm part of your party, too.
**[03:08] Filo**
I'm happy I got to see you again.
**[03:14] Melromarc**
Filo-chan...
**[03:16] Melromarc**
Same here!
**[03:19] Raphtalia**
By the way, will the people
of Cal Mira be all right?
**[03:24] Mirelia**
Earl Habenburg has already finished
evacuating the islanders.
**[03:30] Mirelia**
Besides, it's likely that this
Wave will occur out at sea.
**[03:35] Mirelia**
That should help you focus on the battle.
**[03:38] Naofumi**
That's true.
**[03:40] Naofumi**
But we can't get complacent.
**[03:43] Naofumi**
As always, those guys didn't
seem to want to fight together.
**[03:48] Mirelia**
They said they would be fine after
they leveled up at Cal Mira.
**[03:52] Naofumi**
Looks like things might get ugly yet again.
**[03:57] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[04:00] Raphtalia**
It's L'Arc-san and Therese-san!
**[04:02] Naofumi**
They're fighting, too?
**[04:05] Melromarc**
You know them?
**[04:06] Naofumi**
Yeah. We worked together at Cal Mira.
**[04:09] Raphtalia**
I'm glad we have them on our side.
**[04:11] Naofumi**
They're way more reliable
than Motoyasu and the other guys.
**[04:14] Melromarc**
Huh... It's not often you place
so much trust in others.
**[04:30] Mirelia**
We'll engage the enemy
as soon as we teleport.
**[04:32] Mirelia**
Everyone, prepare for battle!
**[04:45] Naofumi**
Here we go!
**[05:07] Naofumi**
What are those?
**[05:08] Man**
Cask bombs, made using cohol fruits.
**[05:12] Naofumi**
Cohol fruits?
**[05:16] Naofumi**
I see. Concentrated alcohol
should work on monsters, too.
**[05:21] Man**
Over here!
**[05:27] Itsuki**
Keep attacking! Don't let up!
**[05:30] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[05:41] Itsuki**
Meteor Shot!
**[05:56] Ren**
We can't attack it unless
we get it out of the water!
**[05:59] Naofumi**
Let's go, Filo!
**[06:01] Filo**
'Kay!
**[06:06] Naofumi**
*I sure drew the short straw here.*
**[06:09] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Shield Hero, please keep the
most formidable foe in check.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Naofumi**
You make it sound easy, but it's underwater.
**[06:17] (Flashback) Mirelia**
That's exactly why it must be you.
**[06:30] Naofumi**
*Hate Reaction!*
**[06:43] Naofumi**
*It took the bait!*
**[06:54] Mirelia**
Now!
**[06:56] Mirelia**
Attack!
**[06:57] Itsuki**
Meteor Shot!
**[07:00] Motoyasu**
Meteor Thrust!
**[07:02] Ren**
Meteor Slash!
**[07:13] All**
We got it!
**[07:26] Naofumi**
Hey, they didn't hurt it one bit.
**[07:39] Naofumi**
Now that she's leveled up,
Raphtalia's dealing more damage than them.
**[07:45] Naofumi**
*But she can't land a finishing blow.*
**[07:48] Man**
The heroes will take care of the big one!
**[07:51] Man**
Target the small fry!
**[08:08] Man**
Hurry up and kill them!
**[08:10] Man**
Nope! They keep coming!
**[08:13] Melromarc**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[08:16] Melromarc**
Decipher the laws of nature and use the
power of water to thrash my targets.
**[08:21] Melromarc**
Zweit Aqua Shot!
**[08:27] Melromarc**
Are you all right?
**[08:28] Man**
Well, we are...
**[08:37] Mirelia**
M-Melty!
**[08:40] Filo**
Mel-chan!
**[08:45] Man**
Melty-sama!
**[08:50] Mirelia**
Melty!
**[09:02] Melromarc**
Aren't you...
**[09:04] L'arc**
Sit tight here.
**[09:08] L'arc**
Skybound Wheel Swing!
**[09:16] Melromarc**
Wow!
**[09:18] Man**
This is our chance!
**[09:22] Melromarc**
You're really strong.
**[09:24] Melromarc**
Naofumi was right.
**[09:28] Naofumi**
L'Arc!
**[09:31] Naofumi**
Get on that big fella and attack it!
**[09:34] Naofumi**
Even if you fall into the water,
Filo and I will save you!
**[09:41] L'arc**
Well...
**[09:41] L'arc**
I suppose it does need to go down first.
**[09:44] L'arc**
Get its big ass out of the water again!
**[09:50] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[09:51] Filo**
'Kay!
**[10:07] L'arc**
Skybound Wheel Swing!
**[10:14] Filo**
I won't be outdone!
**[10:16] Naofumi**
Go for it, Filo!
**[10:21] Naofumi**
Time to finish it! Let's go!
**[10:23] Filo**
Yeah!
**[10:24] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[10:31] Therese**
Bejeweled Thunderstorm!
**[10:37] L'arc**
Combo Skill: Thunderbolt Wheel Swing!
**[10:49] Mirelia**
What a display of strength!
**[10:57] Naofumi**
Thanks for that. You're amazing.
**[11:00] L'arc**
Well, of course you couldn't beat it
with your defense-focused shield.
**[11:05] Naofumi**
You mean...
**[11:07] Motoyasu**
Hey!
**[11:08] Motoyasu**
Naofumi!
**[11:10] Motoyasu**
And you did well, too.
**[11:13] Naofumi**
What'd you come for?
**[11:15] Ren**
Isn't it obvious? The drops.
**[11:17] Itsuki**
The items that Wave monsters
drop all belong to us heroes.
**[11:22] Naofumi**
You didn't even do anything.
**[11:25] Naofumi**
Listen up! The one who killed this thing...
**[11:27] L'arc**
"Heroes"?
**[11:29] L'arc**
If that's a joke, it ain't funny.
**[11:31] L'arc**
These weaklings are the heroes
that protect the world?
**[11:35] Motoyasu**
Huh?
**[11:38] Raphtalia**
The queen wants you to get rid
of the remaining monsters...
**[11:45] Itsuki**
Wh-What?
**[11:51] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[11:53] Naofumi**
What are you playing at?
**[11:55] L'arc**
You really are the Shield Hero, huh?
**[12:00] L'arc**
Damn it... Why'd it have to come to this?
**[12:03] Naofumi**
Answer me! What's the meaning of this?!
**[12:06] L'arc**
It's simple.
**[12:09] L'arc**
We just need you to die
for the sake of our world.
**[12:16] L'arc**
Just so you know, we've got
nothing against you.
**[12:20] Therese**
That is the truth. Please believe us.
**[12:23] Therese**
It pains us to do this after
you were so nice to us.
**[12:29] Naofumi**
Without me—without the heroes—this world
will be powerless to stop the Waves!
**[12:34] L'arc**
And that's our goal.
**[12:36] Naofumi**
What?
**[12:38] Therese**
L'Arc, he can't understand
without a proper explanation.
**[12:42] L'arc**
This is a pain!
**[12:45] L'arc**
Long story short, we're heroes,
just like you guys.
**[12:49] L'arc**
Of another world, though.
**[12:52] Naofumi**
Another world?
**[12:54] Therese**
And just like your world, ours teeters
on the brink of destruction, too.
**[13:00] Therese**
To prevent that...
**[13:02] Raphtalia**
Therese-san...
**[13:04] L'arc**
Basically, we have something
to fight for, too.
**[13:08] L'arc**
That's why we can't afford to lose.
You understand that, don't you?
**[13:13] L'arc**
But if we're gonna fight,
let's keep it fair and square!
**[13:16] L'arc**
Get ready, Shield Hero!
**[13:23] Melromarc**
He was after Naofumi from the start?
**[13:27] Mirelia**
There's no mistaking it.
They're clearly hostile toward the heroes.
**[13:31] Mirelia**
I hereby declare those
adventurers to be the enemy.
**[13:33] Mirelia**
Back up the heroes and help suppress them!
**[13:36] Man**
Ma'am!
**[13:39] Motoyasu**
You think this is a joke?
**[13:41] L'arc**
You should've just stayed down.
**[13:53] Man**
Fire!
**[13:59] L'arc**
Therese...
**[13:59] Therese**
On it.
**[14:00] Therese**
I beseech thee,
power of jewels far and wide.
**[14:02] Therese**
Heed my call and come to me.
**[14:10] Therese**
My name is Therese Alexanderite.
**[14:13] Therese**
My friends, be the force
that destroys my targets!
**[14:18] Therese**
Bejeweled Meteor Shower!
**[14:28] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[14:30] Raphtalia**
I'm fine!
**[14:32] L'arc**
Therese!
**[14:33] Therese**
I know. I'm only making sure we
won't have any interruptions.
**[14:37] Therese**
My friends, protect my targets from the
calamities raining down upon them!
**[14:42] Therese**
Bejeweled Silver Lining!
**[14:54] Naofumi**
*She attacks them and then helps them?*
**[14:58] Naofumi**
*What are they thinking?*
**[15:01] L'arc**
We won't kill you two.
**[15:03] L'arc**
I know we dragged you into this,
but please stay out of it.
**[15:07] Therese**
Yes. Our target is...
**[15:10] Naofumi**
*Me, and me alone?*
**[15:12] Naofumi**
Let's do this.
**[15:14] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[15:17] Raphtalia**
I understand.
**[15:19] Filo**
I'll kick your butts if you're
gonna be mean to Master!
**[15:28] L'arc**
Air Scythe Suite...
**[15:30] L'arc**
First Stance: Wind Blowout!
**[15:40] Therese**
L'Arc!
**[15:41] L'arc**
I'm fine. It doesn't hurt or anything.
**[15:44] L'arc**
Feels a little numb, though.
**[15:48] L'arc**
You've got some amusing stuff.
**[15:52] Mirelia**
Prioritize rescuing the soldiers and crew.
**[15:55] Mirelia**
Move them to the remaining ships.
**[15:57] Man**
What about the heroes?
They fell into the water.
**[15:59] Mirelia**
The adventurers in their parties
have gone to their aid.
**[16:02] Mirelia**
Let them handle it.
**[16:14] Rishia**
M-Melty-sama?
**[16:16] Melromarc**
Take me to where Naofumi is!
**[16:19] Rishia**
Huh? B-But we just barely
brought Itsuki-sama back!
**[16:23] Melromarc**
Just do it! Hurry up!
**[16:29] Naofumi**
The same move again?!
**[16:33] Filo**
Master!
**[16:39] Naofumi**
*What was that?*
**[16:41] Naofumi**
*I didn't get hit, but I still got hurt.*
**[16:44] Therese**
Bejeweled...
**[16:45] Therese**
Sin Flame!
**[16:50] Voice**
I'm sorry.
**[16:52] Naofumi**
What was that voice?
**[16:54] Therese**
I see. You don't wish to fight him?
**[16:58] Naofumi**
*Is that the bracelet I made for her?*
**[17:01] L'arc**
Therese!
**[17:02] Therese**
It's fine. I'll go with a different one.
**[17:04] Naofumi**
Drink up, you two.
**[17:06] Filo**
'Kay!
**[17:06] Raphtalia**
Got it!
**[17:09] Naofumi**
*That attack L'Arc just used...*
**[17:12] Naofumi**
*Does it ignore defense?*
**[17:14] Naofumi**
* No. If it did, I wouldn't take that*
* much damage just from the tip.*
**[17:20] Naofumi**
*Guess it's worth a shot.*
**[17:22] Naofumi**
Wow, I didn't expect you to use
a defense-reversing attack.
**[17:26] L'arc**
Bingo.
**[17:27] L'arc**
The higher my target's defense,
the more damage it deals.
**[17:32] L'arc**
In other words, it's the perfect
move to use against the Shield Hero.
**[17:37] Naofumi**
A trick question, huh?
**[17:39] Naofumi**
Unfortunately, my policy is
to fight fair and square.
**[17:43] L'arc**
I'll gladly tell you my secrets.
**[17:45] Naofumi**
* "Fair and square"?*
* This is a fight to the death!*
**[17:52] Naofumi**
*He's always like this.*
**[17:54] Naofumi**
*He always throws me off my game.*
**[17:57] Melromarc**
Naofumi!
**[17:59] Filo**
Mel-chan?
**[18:00] Naofumi**
Why are you here?
**[18:01] Melromarc**
I got a ride.
**[18:04] Melromarc**
The Wave isn't over yet.
**[18:07] Melromarc**
Hurry up and beat these guys,
so we can all go back home!
**[18:13] Melromarc**
Wh-What?
**[18:15] Naofumi**
Nothing.
**[18:16] Naofumi**
L'Arc...
**[18:18] Naofumi**
Sure, defense-reversing attacks
will definitely mess me up.
**[18:23] Naofumi**
But they won't do anything if I dodge them.
**[18:25] Naofumi**
Besides, my Air Strike Shield and
Second Shield should render them meaningless.
**[18:30] Naofumi**
I can just use them if I must.
**[18:33] Melromarc**
Naofumi! Why would you reveal your hand?!
**[18:37] Naofumi**
It's fine.
**[18:41] L'arc**
We've both revealed our ace in the hole, eh?
**[18:44] L'arc**
Then... let's get right to it!
**[18:47] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[18:52] L'arc**
Venom?
**[18:52] Therese**
L'Arc!
**[18:54] Melromarc**
Zweit Aqua Shell!
**[18:59] L'arc**
Illusion magic?
**[19:05] L'arc**
There!
**[19:06] Raphtalia**
You fell for it!
**[19:07] Naofumi**
Dog Bite!
**[19:10] Both**
Produce a storm that
blows our targets away!
**[19:12] Both**
Typhoon!
**[19:16] Naofumi**
I knew you'd do that.
**[19:23] Raphtalia**
This is it!
**[19:24] Therese**
Protect him!
**[19:32] Naofumi**
*Even our best combo can't take him down?*
**[19:36] L'arc**
That really hurt.
**[19:39] L'arc**
What's more, you're making
perfect use of your shield.
**[19:42] L'arc**
You're good!
**[19:44] Therese**
You told us you'd use the
Air Strike Shield for defense,
**[19:47] Therese**
so we wouldn't think of it as a trap.
**[19:51] Therese**
You're good at mind games, too.
**[19:53] Naofumi**
* And Therese can switch between*
* attack and defense at will.*
**[19:57] Naofumi**
* She deliberately used an AOE spell just*
* now to prevent any more attacks on L'Arc.*
**[20:02] Naofumi**
* They really must be heroes*
* from another world.*
**[20:06] Naofumi**
*It shows in their spirit and strength.*
**[20:08] Naofumi**
* Honestly, they're much more heroic*
* than Itsuki, Motoyasu, and Ren.*
**[20:11] Naofumi**
*Besides...*
**[20:13] L'arc**
I was bored out of my mind
fighting monsters at Cal Mira.
**[20:16] L'arc**
Nothing beats man-to-man battles,
with all the strategies and tricks involved.
**[20:21] Naofumi**
* This is no time to be admiring*
* them as worthy opponents.*
**[20:24] Naofumi**
*It's kill or be killed. I know that.*
**[20:28] Naofumi**
*But...*
**[20:29] L'arc**
Isn't this fun, Naofumi?
**[20:32] L'arc**
We've got plenty left in the tank.
**[20:35] L'arc**
How about you guys?
**[20:39] Glass**
Why are you goofing off?
**[20:55] Naofumi**
Glass!
**[20:57] L'arc**
You came already, Glassy?
**[21:00] Glass**
You kept me waiting far too long.
**[21:02] Melromarc**
Who is that?
**[21:04] Melromarc**
Just looking at her is making me shiver.
**[21:06] Naofumi**
Glass... A mysterious woman who
showed up in the last Wave.
**[21:10] Naofumi**
And...
**[21:12] Naofumi**
It looks like she's on their side.
**[21:14] Glass**
We meet again, Naofumi.
**[21:17] Naofumi**
Personally, I never wanted
to see your face again.
**[21:20] Glass**
Then...
**[21:22] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse Four Seasons.
**[21:30] Glass**
Rupture-Stance Rondo:
Tortoise Shell Cracker.
**[21:36] Glass**
Looking at his shield, it seems
he wasn't going all-out.
**[21:39] L'arc**
What? What do you mean?
**[21:41] Glass**
When he gets serious, he brings
out a far more ominous shield.
**[21:46] Glass**
Without using that shield,
you hurt L'Arc this much
**[21:49] Glass**
and even blocked my attacks completely.
**[21:51] Glass**
You've grown stronger, Naofumi.
**[21:54] Naofumi**
Gee, thanks for the compliment.
**[21:56] Glass**
But that is why I must put
you down with my own hands.

**[00:03] Man**
The rescue operations will finish shortly.
**[00:06] Mirelia**
You all did very well.
**[00:11] Mirelia**
But the Wave shows no signs of receding.
**[00:14] Mirelia**
Does that mean it won't end
until they are defeated?
**[00:19] Mirelia**
And the fighting is so intense...
We have to leave it all to Iwatani-sama.
**[00:27] Naofumi**
* She thinks only the Wrath Shield*
* can hurt her, huh?*
**[00:32] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[00:38] Naofumi**
The Soul Eater Shield.
**[00:41] Naofumi**
*It drains the enemy's SP.*
**[00:43] Naofumi**
* But what was that reaction? I've never*
* seen Glass hesitate like that before.*
**[00:46] Therese**
So I pray,
**[00:47] Therese**
may your sacrifice carve
open a path to our future!
**[00:51] Therese**
Bejeweled...
**[00:51] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[00:52] Therese**
...Compressor Bomb!
**[00:56] Melromarc**
Is this really magic?
**[00:57] Naofumi**
Yeah. Looks like it's powered by her jewels.
**[01:01] Naofumi**
The attack that blew away
Motoyasu and the others last time!
**[01:03] Therese**
I beseech thee,
power of jewels far and wide.
**[01:06] Therese**
Heed my call and come to me.
**[01:08] Therese**
My name is Therese Alexanderite.
**[01:09] Naofumi**
*Crap! They can use combo skills, too?*
**[01:13] Therese**
My friends, summon a freezing
storm that destroys my targets!
**[01:17] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[01:21] Therese**
Bejeweled Blizzard!
**[01:22] Glass**
Combo-Stance: Reverse Hail Seasons!
**[01:33] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[01:34] Melromarc**
You okay, Naofumi?
**[01:36] Naofumi**
Yeah, somehow.
**[01:39] Glass**
Not even that combo move could put you down?
**[01:42] Glass**
It seems that everything I knew
about you is useless now.
**[01:49] Naofumi**
Good thing we leveled up at Cal Mira, huh?
**[01:53] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[01:54] Naofumi**
*But that's not all.*
**[01:57] Naofumi**
* Glass's reaction to the*
* Soul Eater Shield bothers me.*
**[02:01] Naofumi**
*Could it be...?*
**[02:03] Naofumi**
Listen up. Let me take Glass alone.
**[02:07] Melromarc**
What? That's reckless!
**[02:09] Naofumi**
You three handle L'Arc and Therese.
**[02:11] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, you're not going to...
**[02:13] Naofumi**
It's to make sure I don't
have to use that shield.
**[02:18] Raphtalia**
Understood.
**[02:19] Melromarc**
If that's the case, you've got it.
**[02:22] Filo**
Yeah! I'll do my best!
**[02:23] Naofumi**
Let's roll!
**[02:26] Glass**
You're not getting away!
**[02:28] Raphtalia**
You two are fighting us!
**[02:31] L'arc**
Sounds fun.
**[02:38] Glass**
You want to fight one-on-one?
**[02:39] Glass**
Perfect. I was thinking the same.
**[02:42] Glass**
That said...
**[02:44] Glass**
You left them to fight a duo as
strong as L'Arc and Therese?
**[02:47] Glass**
You must really trust your party.
**[02:51] Naofumi**
L'Arc said he was a hero from another world.
**[02:56] Naofumi**
Are you the same, Glass?
**[03:00] Glass**
That's right.
**[03:01] Glass**
I, too, am a Vassal Wielder—the Fan Hero.
**[03:07] Naofumi**
"Vassal Wielder"?
**[03:10] Glass**
En garde!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[03:17] Therese**
My friends, bring forth a wall of fire
to stop my targets in their tracks!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[03:22] Therese**
Bejeweled Flame Bulwark!
**[03:25] Melromarc**
Zweit Aqua Slash!
**[03:30] Filo**
Not so fast!
**[03:33] L'arc**
Damn!
**[03:38] L'arc**
You're good.
**[03:39] L'arc**
No wonder Naofumi trusts you.
**[03:41] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[03:48] Naofumi**
*So quick.*
**[03:49] Naofumi**
*But she lacks her edge from before.*
**[03:51] Naofumi**
*I can take her.*
**[03:52] Glass**
Rupture-Stance Rondo:
Tortoise Shell Cracker!
**[03:55] Naofumi**
Dog Bite!
**[04:00] Naofumi**
Change Shield!
**[04:01] Naofumi**
Soul Eater Shield!
**[04:06] Naofumi**
I knew it!
**[04:08] Naofumi**
*Glass is weak to the Soul Eater!*
**[04:11] L'arc**
Glassy!
**[04:13] Glass**
Naofumi...
**[04:15] Naofumi**
This shield would only drain
SP from anybody else,
**[04:18] Naofumi**
but it seems it sucks out
your very life force.
**[04:22] Naofumi**
You've lost.
**[04:24] Naofumi**
The Wave will die down
if you retreat, right?
**[04:27] Naofumi**
Let's end this here.
**[04:29] Glass**
"End this here"? Nay.
**[04:31] Glass**
This battle isn't over until one of us dies.
**[04:36] Glass**
I can't let it end!
**[04:38] Naofumi**
Hey!
**[04:42] Naofumi**
Stop it! If you keep this up, you'll die!
**[04:46] Glass**
So long as I still draw breath,
**[04:49] Glass**
I will come for your life
time and time again.
**[04:53] Glass**
I must, for the world I love so much!
**[04:56] Glass**
You'll have to kill me to get rid of me.
**[05:00] Glass**
If you don't, this world will end!
**[05:04] Melromarc**
That's absurd!
**[05:06] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[05:07] Glass**
You're like me, aren't you, Naofumi?
**[05:10] Glass**
You wish to protect this world, don't you?!
**[05:12] Glass**
Then you should look to kill
me right here and now!
**[05:16] Naofumi**
I...
**[05:18] Naofumi**
*Protect this world?*
**[05:23] Naofumi**
* This other world I was summoned to against*
* my will and put through hell in?*
**[05:27] Naofumi**
* Do I really want to protect it as badly*
* as she wants to protect her own world?*
**[05:31] Naofumi**
*Why have I been fighting the Waves?*
**[05:41] Naofumi**
*What is this?*
**[05:42] Glass**
They're waiting for us.
**[05:46] Glass**
My people are fighting the Wave,
awaiting our triumphant return.
**[05:51] Naofumi**
*Is this a vision of Glass's world?*
**[05:53] Glass**
So I absolutely cannot lose!
**[05:57] Glass**
This is the end! It's do or die, Naofumi!
**[06:00] Naofumi**
* Do I care enough about protecting*
* this world to crush her hopes?*
**[06:05] L'arc**
Glassy!
**[06:08] Naofumi**
A soul soothing potion?
**[06:09] L'arc**
It only lets me use more skills.
**[06:13] L'arc**
But for her...
**[06:14] Naofumi**
Crap!
**[06:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[06:22] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[06:26] Naofumi**
Are you stupid? Why'd you come?!
**[06:27] Raphtalia**
Because I'm the Shield Hero's...
I'm your sword!
**[06:31] Raphtalia**
I'll never again let anyone in this world
go through what Rifana-chan and I did!
**[06:38] Raphtalia**
So...
**[06:40] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[06:41] Raphtalia**
We have our own reasons for not losing!
**[06:45] Naofumi**
Oh no, you don't!
**[06:47] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[06:49] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[06:53] Raphtalia**
Dark Gas Burning!
**[06:58] Glass**
Naofumi! Raphtalia-san!
**[07:00] L'arc**
Glassy!
**[07:04] Mirelia**
Is there... Is there nothing
we can do to help?
**[07:08] Rishia**
Save me, Your Majesty!
**[07:13] Mirelia**
That's it!
**[07:19] Naofumi**
She tanked it?
**[07:23] Naofumi**
Wait, that's...
**[07:25] Glass**
The next move will be the last.
**[07:28] L'arc**
Glassy, it's too risky!
**[07:30] Therese**
That's enough, Glass!
**[07:32] Glass**
Blank-Stance Rondo...
**[07:36] Raphtalia**
No, Naofumi-sama! Not that shield!
**[07:40] Naofumi**
I'm an outsider.
**[07:42] Naofumi**
Once I finish fighting off the Waves,
I'll just go back to my world.
**[07:48] Naofumi**
However...
**[07:50] Naofumi**
Raphtalia,
**[07:51] Naofumi**
Filo, Melty...
**[07:53] Naofumi**
This world has you three.
**[07:55] Naofumi**
That's reason enough for
me to use this shield.
**[07:59] Naofumi**
Reason enough to defeat Glass!
**[08:02] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[08:06] Naofumi**
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
**[08:10] Raphtalia**
Wait... Please don't.
**[08:11] Naofumi**
Within the dragon's jaws
born from my flesh,
**[08:14] Naofumi**
become an offering to the
gods as you howl in pain!
**[08:18] Raphtalia**
No!
**[08:21] Naofumi**
Blood Sacri—
**[08:22] Mirelia**
Iwatani-sama!
**[08:25] Rishia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[08:27] Rishia**
Decipher the laws of nature
and unleash a fist of wind.
**[08:31] Rishia**
Fast Wind Blow!
**[08:35] Rishia**
Use these!
**[08:36] Naofumi**
Are those...
**[08:38] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[08:44] Raphtalia**
You blew up the cask bombs in mid-air?
**[08:47] Glass**
What is this?
**[08:49] L'arc**
Wait, don't tell me...
**[08:51] Naofumi**
They were filled with luchol berries.
**[08:53] Raphtalia**
You mean the ones they make wine from?
**[08:56] Naofumi**
Apparently, they don't do anything to me.
**[09:01] Naofumi**
What now? Wanna keep going?
**[09:03] Glass**
Yes. I'll end this.
**[09:06] Naofumi**
L'Arc?
**[09:08] Raphtalia**
Therese-san!
**[09:09] L'arc**
This fight's over. Time's up.
**[09:14] L'arc**
So yeah, you win this time.
**[09:18] Therese**
Let us fight again when the time comes.
**[09:20] Glass**
What are you two thinking?
**[09:22] Glass**
If we don't kill Naofumi now...
**[09:25] L'arc**
Save that talk for when you're
not about to throw up.
**[09:28] L'arc**
See ya, Naofumi.
**[09:30] L'arc**
Man, that sounds really awkward.
**[09:32] L'arc**
I think I'll stick with "kiddo."
**[09:35] Naofumi**
L'Arc!
**[09:42] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[09:43] Motoyasu**
Huh? What about the Wave?
**[09:46] Itsuki**
Looks like it's over.
**[09:49] Ren**
Naofumi soloed it again?
**[09:51] Mirelia**
No. The Shield Hero and
each one of us played a part.
**[09:55] Mirelia**
This victory belongs to all of us!
**[10:00] Rishia**
I can't drink any more... hic...
**[10:06] Raphtalia**
Oh, Naofumi-sama, it's an accessory shop.
Let's take a look.
**[10:14] Naofumi**
* After the Wave died down,*
* we decided we'd leveled up enough.*
**[10:17] Naofumi**
* We planned to leave Cal Mira despite*
* the bonus field still being in effect,*
**[10:20] Naofumi**
*and return to Melromarc.*
**[10:23] Naofumi**
*However...*
**[10:25] Raphtalia**
See those dark clouds on the horizon?
**[10:28] Raphtalia**
We can't head back while
those are still looming.
**[10:31] Naofumi**
You know a lot about the sea, huh?
**[10:35] Filo**
Wow! You caught another one!
**[10:38] Raphtalia**
I grew up in a fishing village, after all.
**[10:40] Naofumi**
Oh, that's right.
**[10:43] Naofumi**
* An offshore storm meant we'd get to extend*
* our holiday for a few more days.*
**[10:48] Naofumi**
*And yet, I just couldn't relax.*
**[10:52] Naofumi**
* L'Arc and Glass, who said they*
* were heroes from another world...*
**[10:56] Naofumi**
* They're fighting the Waves*
* in their own world.*
**[10:59] Naofumi**
*And in order to defend their world,*
**[11:02] Naofumi**
* they must defeat heroes in*
* another world. Namely, us.*
**[11:09] Raphtalia**
What shall we do once we get back?
**[11:12] Naofumi**
Prepare for the next Wave, of course.
**[11:15] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[11:17] Naofumi**
*But if we're up against Glass's group again,*
**[11:20] Naofumi**
*will I be able to kill them?*
**[11:23] (Flashback) Fitoria**
I can't tell you after how
many Waves it will happen,
**[11:26] (Flashback) Fitoria**
but there will come a time when the
world demands sacrifices from all life.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Fitoria**
The heroes will be forced to choose
what they fight for in that battle.
**[11:35] Naofumi**
*Choose which world to sacrifice?*
**[11:38] Naofumi**
*Is that what you meant, Fitoria?*
**[11:41] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[11:42] Raphtalia**
Is something on your mind?
**[11:44] Naofumi**
Well...
**[11:45] Naofumi**
I was just thinking it was about
time we recruited more people.
**[11:49] Raphtalia**
You're right.
**[11:50] Raphtalia**
Melty-san's busy with her official duties.
**[11:53] Naofumi**
We should stock up on as many weapons
and party members as we can.
**[11:57] Naofumi**
There's no telling if we'll be able to
fight off Glass's group every time.
**[12:01] Naofumi**
If we Four Cardinal Heroes
end up getting killed,
**[12:04] Naofumi**
you guys will be the world's only hope.
**[12:06] Raphtalia**
Um...
**[12:07] Filo**
Master!
**[12:12] Raphtalia**
Y-You were trying to drown?!
**[12:15] Filo**
I saved her.
**[12:17] Naofumi**
Wasn't she in Itsuki's party?
**[12:19] Melromarc**
Her name is Rishia, apparently.
**[12:22] Melromarc**
She lost hope after being kicked
out of the Bow Hero's party.
**[12:27] Naofumi**
Kicked out?
**[12:28] Melromarc**
She was accused of something she didn't do.
**[12:32] Rishia**
I didn't do it!
**[12:34] Rishia**
They said I broke one of Itsuki-sama's
favorite accessories!
**[12:40] Raphtalia**
That's awful.
**[12:41] Melromarc**
A fine excuse to get rid of her.
**[12:43] Naofumi**
I bet the others didn't take kindly to
her stealing the spotlight in the Wave.
**[12:49] Naofumi**
Knowing Itsuki, he must've trusted
them blindly and thrown her out.
**[12:55] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama cast me aside!
I should just die!
**[13:00] Naofumi**
Rishia, was it?
**[13:02] Naofumi**
Are you going to take that
false accusation lying down?
**[13:05] Rishia**
But they're not wrong about me
being weak and useless.
**[13:09] Naofumi**
Don't you want to teach Itsuki
and the others a lesson?
**[13:14] Naofumi**
You were a huge help to me during the Wave.
**[13:18] Rishia**
I helped the Shield Hero?
**[13:22] Naofumi**
You saved everyone.
**[13:23] Naofumi**
You have the courage for it.
You can grow much stronger.
**[13:26] Rishia**
You mean it? Can I really grow stronger?
**[13:30] Naofumi**
Yeah. So join us.
**[13:33] Naofumi**
I don't mind helping you out until
you can clear your own name.
**[13:38] Raphtalia**
Let's become stronger together.
**[13:40] Filo**
I'll teach you how to swim.
**[13:43] Rishia**
Th-Thank you for having me!
**[13:47] Naofumi**
Training another hero's party member?
**[13:49] Naofumi**
You're a softie, Naofumi.
**[13:51] Naofumi**
If their parties are as useless as they are,
**[13:54] Naofumi**
it'll cause real problems down the line.
**[13:59] Filo**
Hey, where's the food?
**[14:04] Naofumi**
All right. First, we eat.
**[14:06] Filo**
'Kay!
**[14:06] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[14:08] Naofumi**
*Soon, the storm died down,*
**[14:10] Naofumi**
* and it was time for us*
* to return to Melromarc.*
**[14:14] Mirelia**
Shield Hero, I thank you deeply
once again for all you've done.
**[14:20] Naofumi**
I couldn't do anything by myself.
It's all thanks to my friends.
**[14:24] Naofumi**
And thanks to you,
**[14:25] Naofumi**
Your Majesty.
**[14:27] Mirelia**
You honor me.
**[14:30] Naofumi**
But who knows if things
will work out next time?
**[14:32] Naofumi**
The other heroes are way too useless.
**[14:35] Mirelia**
Indeed.
**[14:37] Naofumi**
I need to talk to them once again.
**[14:39] Mirelia**
Yes, and soon.
**[14:42] Mirelia**
By the way, Iwatani-sama,
have you decided on your reward yet?
**[14:47] Mirelia**
What can I offer you for your
part in getting rid of the pope?
**[14:53] Naofumi**
Ah...
**[14:54] Mirelia**
And then, there's everything
you did here in Cal Mira.
**[14:57] Mirelia**
If I don't do something now,
I'll never be able to repay you enough.
**[15:02] Naofumi**
In that case, I do have an idea.
**[15:08] Mirelia**
As you wish, Sir Shield Hero.
**[15:13] Elhart**
Oh, you're back, kid!
**[15:15] Elhart**
Where'd you pick up this cutie?
**[15:18] Naofumi**
Forget that. Put together some
equipment for her and us.
**[15:23] Naofumi**
I'll buy as much as I can,
as thanks for last time.
**[15:26] Elhart**
That's what I like to hear!
**[15:28] Elhart**
You gonna stick around a while?
**[15:30] Naofumi**
Nah, we're leaving immediately.
There's somewhere we need to be.
**[15:33] Elhart**
Oh, that's right.
**[15:34] Raphtalia**
What? Do you know something, boss?
**[15:37] Elhart**
Huh? Nothing, really...
**[15:39] Elhart**
Right, kid?
**[15:41] Naofumi**
Right.
**[15:42] Raphtalia**
What's with you two? Tell me!
**[15:45] Elhart**
You're one lucky missy.
**[15:49] Elhart**
Come back anytime if you need anything!
**[15:55] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[15:57] Raphtalia**
Why won't you tell me where we're going?
**[16:00] Naofumi**
Oh, sorry.
**[16:02] Naofumi**
We're going to take the queen's reward.
**[16:04] Raphtalia**
That you were talking about on the boat?
**[16:09] Raphtalia**
Um... You will stay with us, won't you?
**[16:16] Raphtalia**
Is that salt in the air?
**[16:19] Naofumi**
I should've known you'd notice.
**[16:21] Raphtalia**
You don't mean...
**[16:22] Naofumi**
Yeah. We'll be there soon.
**[16:37] Keel**
Raphtalia-chan!
**[16:39] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun! I'm so glad you're better now!
**[16:43] Vice Captain**
So much so that Keel's the one
working the hardest every day.
**[16:47] Raphtalia**
Van-san? Why are you here?
**[16:49] Vice Captain**
Oh? Haven't you heard?
**[16:52] Melromarc**
Naofumi really is a jerk.
**[16:55] Filo**
Hey, Mel-chan!
**[16:58] Raphtalia**
What's going on, Naofumi-sama?
**[17:02] Naofumi**
Just watch. You'll find out.
**[17:04] Melromarc**
Representing the Queen of Melromarc,
**[17:07] Melromarc**
I, Second Princess Melty Melromarc,
**[17:10] Melromarc**
I hereby confer upon the Shield Hero,
Naofumi Iwatani-sama,
**[17:14] Melromarc**
all rights to govern
Seyaette's Demi-Human Region.
**[17:19] Raphtalia**
What?
**[17:20] Naofumi**
Basically, that's the reward from the queen.
**[17:23] Naofumi**
I'm now the lord of this area.
**[17:26] Raphtalia**
You are?
**[17:28] Naofumi**
Going forward, we will need a home base.
**[17:32] Melromarc**
But you could've lived in the capital now.
**[17:35] Naofumi**
If I did, I'd run the risk of running
into Trash or Bitch somewhere.
**[17:40] Melromarc**
Sheesh.
**[17:41] Filo**
Let's play, Mel-chan.
**[17:43] Melromarc**
Yeah.
**[17:43] Naofumi**
Follow me, Raphtalia.
**[17:45] Naofumi**
There's more I want to show you.
**[17:52] Raphtalia**
Boats?
**[17:53] Naofumi**
Restarting the fishing business
should help rebuild the place.
**[17:56] Naofumi**
And we also have you, the fishing expert.
**[18:00] Naofumi**
Show the newcomers the ropes.
**[18:06] Naofumi**
Here.
**[18:09] Grandma**
Oh, Shield Hero!
**[18:11] Naofumi**
Gran! You're at it, huh?
**[18:13] Grandma**
I'll train all the new recruits you want.
**[18:16] Naofumi**
I know. I'm counting on you.
**[18:18] Naofumi**
And I've brought you a
trainee with potential.
**[18:22] Grandma**
Can't wait!
**[18:24] Medic**
Oh, hey. I've stocked us up
on all the medicine we need, too.
**[18:27] Witch**
Let us know if you need anything else, okay?
**[18:30] Raphtalia**
You all moved here?
**[18:32] Naofumi**
The moment they found I'd become the
local lord here, they insisted on helping.
**[18:44] Naofumi**
If this keeps up,
rebuilding will be finished in no time.
**[18:47] Raphtalia**
Why?
**[18:49] Naofumi**
I chose this place a long time ago.
**[18:52] Naofumi**
Your village was destroyed in a Wave,
**[18:55] Naofumi**
so we'll use it as our symbol
of resistance against them.
**[18:58] Naofumi**
We'll recruit more people after Rishia,
**[19:01] Naofumi**
train them here, and build an army
bigger than the other heroes have.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
That way, if...
**[19:08] Naofumi**
Raphtalia?
**[19:10] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, please don't say any more.
**[19:13] Raphtalia**
This is too much!
**[19:16] Raphtalia**
It's like you're preparing
us for life without you!
**[19:21] Raphtalia**
It doesn't matter if Glass-san, L'Arc-san,
or Therese-san show up again!
**[19:24] Raphtalia**
I know we can fight them and the Waves off!
**[19:27] Raphtalia**
So you won't die!
**[19:29] Raphtalia**
I won't let you die!
**[19:30] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[19:31] Raphtalia**
But once the Waves are all gone,
**[19:34] Raphtalia**
you'll return to your world.
**[19:37] Raphtalia**
I'll never see you again.
**[19:39] Raphtalia**
I never want that day to come!
**[19:41] Naofumi**
Well...
**[19:42] Raphtalia**
Never! I refuse to accept it!
**[19:44] Raphtalia**
Just thinking of life
without you makes me...
**[19:50] Raphtalia**
Don't go, Naofumi-sama! Please stay!
**[19:53] Raphtalia**
Even after the Waves are gone,
**[19:55] Raphtalia**
stay with us forever!
**[20:02] Naofumi**
It's been eating away at you, huh?
**[20:06] Naofumi**
Forgive me.
**[20:07] Raphtalia**
Oh, no! You don't have to apologize!
**[20:11] Naofumi**
I certainly was wavering before.
**[20:19] Naofumi**
But not anymore.
**[20:22] Naofumi**
That's why I came here.
**[20:27] Naofumi**
We'll start over.
**[20:29] Naofumi**
Be it fighting the Waves or
looking for new party members,
**[20:33] Naofumi**
it all begins here.
**[20:36] Naofumi**
Meeting you helped me find
meaning in fighting the Waves.
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Meeting Filo and Melty helped me
decide to fight for my friends.
**[20:45] Naofumi**
Meeting so many other people made me want
to protect this world as its Shield Hero.
**[20:52] Naofumi**
This will be our origin,
our starting point, and our home.
**[20:56] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[20:58] Naofumi**
I hope you'll keep fighting with
me as my sword, Raphtalia.
**[21:02] Raphtalia**
Yes, of course, Naofumi-sama!
**[21:07] Filo**
Hey, that's no fair!
**[21:11] Filo**
I want in, Master!
**[21:17] Filo**
Join us, Mel-chan.
**[21:19] Melromarc**
I-I'll pass!
**[21:25] Keel**
Ready?
**[21:26] Keel**
Here I go!
**[21:33] Raphtalia**
Are you watching, Rifana-chan?
**[21:35] Raphtalia**
Our flag flies in our village once again.
**[21:38] Rishia**
That's a really pretty shield flag.
***SIGN*** The Records of the Four Cardinal Weapons
**[21:57] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[22:01] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[22:02] Naofumi**
The Shield Hero's story begins anew!
**[22:25] Itsuki**
I see. Naofumi-san has his own domain?
**[22:28] Itsuki**
Looks like we're the only ones who can go
around making the world a better place.
**[22:34] Ren**
*I will be stronger.*
**[22:36] Ren**
* Far stronger than you*
* could ever be, Naofumi!*
**[22:39] Myne**
It's outrageous that the
Devil of the Shield has a domain.
**[22:43] Myne**
Don't you agree, Motoyasu-sama?
**[22:45] Motoyasu**
I don't see the problem.
**[22:47] Motoyasu**
Let's go visit sometime.
**[22:49] Motoyasu**
I'd like to see Filo-chan.
**[22:53] Motoyasu**
I say it would behoove you
to keep an open mind.
**[22:56] Myne**
"Behoove"?
**[22:58] Motoyasu**
Huh? Why'd I say that?
**[23:00] Aultcray**
I'm counting on you two.
**[23:08] Slave Trader**
Quite the bold decision by the Shield Hero.
**[23:12] Slave Trader**
I suppose he won't be coming
to see me for a while now.
**[23:16] Slave Trader**
But you are still my golden goose.
**[23:19] Slave Trader**
I trust that you'll become an even better
patron and bring me even more profits.
