# The Rising of the Shield Hero
Iwatani Naofumi, a run-of-the-mill otaku, finds a book in the library that summons him to another world. He is tasked with joining the sword, spear, and bow as one of the Four Cardinal Heroes and fighting the Waves of Catastrophe as the Shield Hero.
Excited by the prospect of a grand adventure, Naofumi sets off with his party. However, merely a few days later, he is betrayed and loses all his money, dignity, and respect. Unable to trust anyone anymore, he employs a slave named Raphtalia and takes on the Waves and the world.
But will he really find a way to overturn this desperate situation?

**[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?

"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.

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.*

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.

**[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**

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**

**[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.

U-Um... What is your name?

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.

**[11:19] Raphtalia**
No!

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.

Air Strike Shield!
**[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.

**[00:15] Aultcray**
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!

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!

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

**[15:41] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[15:42] Naofumi**
You okay?
**[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...*
**[19:38] Naofumi**
*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!

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...*

*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?!

**[16:23] 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**

Not so fast!

swallow even your screams with her embrace,

suffer in anguish as your entire
body is stabbed and skewered!

**[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.

I'm impressed that you're still
standing after that attack.
**[05:01] Glass**
Now, when exactly do you plan on using
that flaming shield from before?
**[05:08] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[05:20] Naofumi**
Come forth, Rage Shield!
**[05:40] Glass**
I told you.
**[05:41] Glass**
You cannot touch me.
**[05:47] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[05:48] Naofumi**
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—

**[00:05] Melty**
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...
**[04:14] Idol**

Naofumi-sama, I...
**[05:02] Naofumi**
It's not your fault.

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**

**[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.

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!

**[00:25] Fitoria**
You found the candidate who

*She's close by, is she?*

*I must go see her.*

Stay away!
**[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!

Thank you for bringing us this far, Fitoria-san.

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**

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:

This is a crisis that may affect the

I've not become so feeble in my old age

As you wish.

I apologize for the trouble.
**[00:33] Shadow**
Oh, no.
**[00:34] Shadow**
We wouldn't have it any other way, my lady.

**[01:03] ---**
Yes, my lady!

We leave immediately! Move the cavalry out!

**[03:38] Pope**
Curses are meaningless
within this Cathedral.
**[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!

**[00:10] L'arc**
And this here is Therese.
**[00:13] Therese**
I'm Therese Alexanderite.
**[00:15] Naofumi**
Nice to meet you.
**[00:17] Raphtalia**
Um, is that lady from a foreign country?
**[00:21] Raphtalia**
I couldn't understand her.
**[00:25] L'arc**
Therese...
**[00:32] Therese**
My apologies. Do you understand me now?
**[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.

**[00:02] Naofumi**
After overcoming the worst of the Waves,
**[00:04] Naofumi**
I was rewarded and became ruler of
Lurolona Village, Raphtalia's home.
**[00:11] Naofumi**
We began to rebuild the village,
and new allies joined us.
**[00:14] Naofumi**
Things are going well.
**[00:17] Naofumi**
When the next Wave comes,
the people I've met in this world...
**[00:20] Naofumi**
I have to...
**[00:24] Naofumi**
Be careful.
**[00:25] Mom**
Sorry, my lord!
**[00:27] Mom**
Let's go!
**[00:33] Grandma**
Come on, let your ki build up
right in the pit of your stomach.
**[00:36] Rishia**
L-Like this?
**[00:39] Grandma**
That's right!
**[00:40] Grandma**
I knew you had the knack!
**[00:42] Grandma**
The day you become a full master of
Hengen Muso is not far off at all!
**[00:47] Rishia**
Really?
**[00:49] Keel**
I don't know what this "ki" stuff is.
**[00:54] Keel**
Shield-oniichan!
**[00:56] Grandma**
Oh, it's the Saint!
**[00:58] Naofumi**
You seem like you're working hard, Keel.
**[01:00] Keel**
Of course.
**[01:03] Naofumi**
Hey, don't spoil Rishia too much.
**[01:07] Naofumi**
Her base stats are too low for her level.
**[01:11] Grandma**
True, but...
***SIGN*** Pekkul Kigurumi
**[01:15] Naofumi**
The costume works pretty well,
**[01:19] Naofumi**
but she can't just rely on that.
**[01:23] Rishia**
I-I know...
**[01:26] Rishia**
But when I wear it, nobody can
see when I'm feeling down.
**[01:29] Rishia**
So I can try harder, I guess.
**[01:33] Grandma**
But she's also a master
at manipulating her ki.
**[01:38] Grandma**
We need to strengthen that ability.
**[01:42] Grandma**
The concepts of that whatever-muso
you use don't really exist in this world.
**[01:51] Keel**
Hey, Instructor! Can I fight
the Waves with the others?
**[01:55] Grandma**
Nope.
**[01:57] Grandma**
There's not even another
week until the next Wave.
**[01:59] Grandma**
That's not quite enough time for a wimp
like you to learn to really fight.
**[02:06] Keel**
Damn it!
**[02:07] Keel**
Okay, the Wave after that, then!
**[02:08] Keel**
Help me train even more until it comes!
**[02:12] Grandma**
That's the spirit.
**[02:13] Grandma**
But if you want to learn how to use
a sword, don't just learn from me.
**[02:18] Grandma**
What's that?
**[02:20] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[02:23] Keel**
Wait! I'll go, too!
**[02:38] Child**
Thank you!
**[02:39] Filo**
Just hang on a second, okay?
**[02:42] Child**
Yeah!
**[03:00] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[03:02] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[03:03] Filo**
Master!
**[03:05] Grandma**
Looks like there's nothing for me to do.
**[03:08] Naofumi**
I guess not.
**[03:12] Keel**
What are these things?

It's stopped.
**[03:41] Grandma**
What?
**[03:42] Naofumi**
And this blue number...
**[03:45] Grandma**
What happened?
**[03:47] Naofumi**
I don't know.

**[04:16] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san?
**[04:23] Raphtalia**
The party Rishia-san used to be in...
**[04:35] Queen**
Thank you for answering
my sudden call, Heroes.
**[04:41] Queen**
I had you come here to discuss
an important matter.
**[04:45] Ren**
The bat monsters?
**[04:47] Motoyasu**
Oh, those creepy things.
**[04:50] Itsuki**
You found them too, huh?
**[04:53] Naofumi**
You know something about them?
**[04:56] Itsuki**
I'd never seen them before.
**[04:59] Motoyasu**
They didn't seem to be dimensional
monsters from a Wave, either.
**[05:03] Naofumi**
Yeah, about that.
The Wave countdown stopped—
**[05:07] Queen**
So it's true, then.
**[05:10] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[05:12] Queen**
The legendary monster
called the Spirit Tortoise
**[05:16] Queen**
has revived within the kingdom that bears
its name, the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom.
**[05:21] Naofumi**
Spirit Tortoise?
**[05:22] Queen**
It's said to bring horrific disaster
to the world once every few centuries.
**[05:29] Queen**
We believe that the monsters you heroes
encountered are an effect of its revival.
**[05:35] Naofumi**
Horrific disaster... Sounds like the Waves.
**[05:40] Ren**
Sorry, I remembered something I have to do.
**[05:42] Motoyasu**
Me, too.
**[05:43] Itsuki**
Sorry. We're busy people.
**[05:46] Naofumi**
Hey!
**[05:47] Motoyasu**
We were summoned to another
world to fight the Waves.
**[05:53] Motoyasu**
We don't have time to deal with any
other problems you might have.
**[05:55] Motoyasu**
Right, Naofumi?
**[06:10] Soldier**
Ren-sama.
**[06:12] Ren**
Let's go.
**[06:12] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama, did you ask Mom
to make me a princess again?
**[06:18] Motoyasu**
I'm sorry My—
**[06:20] Motoyasu**
Slut.
**[06:21] Motoyasu**
I've got bigger problems.
**[06:23] Motoyasu**
Let's go.
**[06:24] Myne**
Hey—
**[06:25] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[06:27] Myne**
Useless fool.
**[06:34] Itsuki**
You seem to be doing well.
**[06:36] Rishia**
Um, Itsuki-san...
**[06:38] Itsuki**
Are you talking with your parents?
**[06:42] Rishia**
Y-Yes!
**[06:43] Rishia**
I sent a... letter.
**[06:47] Itsuki**
I see.
**[07:00] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[07:02] Rishia**
I-I want to join you on your
journey to save the world!
**[07:06] Itsuki**
You're not strong enough.
**[07:08] Itsuki**
You won't be, no matter how much
Naofumi-san trains you.
**[07:16] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[07:20] Mald**
Why do you think Itsuki-sama
banished you from the party?
**[07:24] Mald**
To keep you away from
the dangers of the battlefield?
**[07:28] Mald**
No, because you're weak,
and slow, and useless!
**[07:35] Itsuki**
Mald-san, that's enough.
**[07:43] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan, are you okay?
**[07:54] Naofumi**
You okay with this?
**[07:55] Naofumi**
You called me and the others here to handle
this Spirit Tortoise thing, right?
**[08:01] Queen**
From the look of it,
I didn't even need to ask.
**[08:06] Naofumi**
Sure.
**[08:07] Naofumi**
There was probably a similar event
in one of the games they played.
**[08:11] Naofumi**
No, don't worry about it.
**[08:14] Queen**
So, will you accept this job?
**[08:19] Naofumi**
If you don't mind me focusing on
this instead of my job as a hero.
**[08:24] Queen**
The Spirit Tortoise Kingdom is a big place,
**[08:27] Queen**
but the Tortoise has already destroyed
several territories
**[08:30] Queen**
and important checkpoints as it heads
for the capital. Many have died.
**[08:35] Queen**
It's located far to the east,
**[08:39] Queen**
but it won't be long before
it reaches us here in Melromarc.
**[08:44] Queen**
When that happens, it will likely
pass through your own lands.
**[08:50] Naofumi**
You always know how to persuade people.
**[08:54] Queen**
Is Melty doing well?
**[08:56] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[08:57] Naofumi**
She's in charge of observing
what happens in my territory.
**[09:01] Naofumi**
She was saying she wanted the place to be
a bridge between humans and demihumans.
**[09:07] Naofumi**
And then, if you can believe this,
**[09:09] Naofumi**
she told me to leave the
place to her and go see you.
**[09:12] Queen**
It seems the journey she went on with
you was a great experience for her.
**[09:19] Naofumi**
Yes.
**[09:21] Naofumi**
For the sake of her dreams, and my lands,
**[09:25] Naofumi**
I'll fight the Tortoise for you.
**[09:27] Queen**
Really?
**[09:30] Queen**
Shield Hero, you're truly...
**[09:35] Naofumi**
With the Wave countdown stopped,
it feels safe to focus on this.
**[09:40] Queen**
The countdown stopping is
also concerning, though.
**[09:43] Naofumi**
I'll look into it when I get a chance.
**[09:45] Naofumi**
So, do we go fight it ourselves?
**[09:50] Queen**
We should talk about that.
**[09:56] Elhart**
I see. You're going to fight
the Tortoise too, huh?
**[10:00] Naofumi**
You hear things fast.
**[10:02] Naofumi**
Who told you?
**[10:04] Elhart**
The whole country's talking about it.
**[10:07] Elhart**
Melromarc is sending its knights,
and joining with other nations to fight it.
**[10:12] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[10:13] Naofumi**
The Cardinal Heroes were told to go ahead of
the main army and do reconnaissance in force.
**[10:19] Elhart**
Our queen is always spoiling for a fight.
**[10:23] Naofumi**
You've got that right.
**[10:24] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san, how about this?
**[10:28] Rishia**
I use magic more than swords...
**[10:33] Rishia**
But no matter what I do, I'm a failure.
**[10:37] Raphtalia**
But...
**[10:40] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan, are you a failure?
**[10:44] Rishia**
Yes. I'm a failure.
**[10:47] Naofumi**
At least you can hold a weapon.
**[10:51] Rishia**
I'm sorry.
**[10:58] Elhart**
Sheesh. You guys are gloomy.
**[11:03] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san!
**[11:05] Rishia**
Yes?
**[11:06] Raphtalia**
I have a great idea!
**[11:13] Rishia**
Um, Raphtalia-san, is this...
**[11:16] Raphtalia**
Don't worry. It's not scary.
**[11:30] Slave Merchant**
Oh, you're the Shield Hero's...
**[11:35] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san, why don't you
try becoming a slave?
**[11:38] Rishia**
Slave?
**[11:42] Raphtalia**
If you become Naofumi-san's slave,
**[11:44] Raphtalia**
the Shield Hero's power will
make you much stronger!
**[11:50] Rishia**
But...
**[11:52] Raphtalia**
You'll instantly become much stronger
than the Bow Hero's followers!
**[11:57] Raphtalia**
Now take that off and show me your chest!
**[12:00] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[12:01] Raphtalia**
Yes?
**[12:03] Naofumi**
I'm not going to force anybody
else to be my slave.
**[12:09] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry.
**[12:10] Raphtalia**
I just thought Rishia-san
could be like me, and...
**[12:16] Naofumi**
If she wanted to, it would
be a different matter.
**[12:19] Naofumi**
But you're the only person in the world
who would ever volunteer to be a slave.
**[12:21] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[12:23] Naofumi**
You haven't changed your mind on that, huh?
**[12:25] Naofumi**
No, never mind.
**[12:26] Raphtalia**
What?
**[12:27] Slave Merchant**
Um, so what is it that I can do for you?
**[12:30] Naofumi**
Sorry. We don't really...
**[12:33] Rishia**
Make me...
**[12:34] Rishia**
Make me your slave, Naofumi-san!
**[12:37] Rishia**
I want to be a slave of the Shield Hero!
**[12:51] Slave Merchant**
Excuse me.
**[13:04] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san...
**[13:06] Filo**
Onee-chan...
**[13:14] Slave Merchant**
Okay, now you're the slave
of the Shield Hero!
**[13:19] Naofumi**
Sheesh...
**[13:20] Naofumi**
Normally, you can never make
your mind up about anything.
**[13:22] Naofumi**
But you didn't waste time thinking
about your decision on this.

You want Itsuki's respect that badly?

Yes.
**[13:32] Rishia**
That's why I'm having you train me.
**[13:36] Naofumi**
I see.
**[13:37] Naofumi**
Then I won't say another word.
**[13:39] Naofumi**
You want hard training, you'll get it.
**[13:43] Naofumi**
And stop making that noise.
**[13:45] Rishia**
Fweh? No, I mean...
**[13:48] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[13:49] Rishia**
Thank you!
**[13:53] Naofumi**
Okay, let's head back and get ready.
**[13:55] Naofumi**
We'll be leaving for the
Spirit Tortoise Kingdom in the morning.
**[13:59] Raphtalia & Rishia**
Okay!
**[14:00] Filo**
I'm hungry!
**[15:44] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, those people...
**[15:48] Naofumi**
Refugees from the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom.
**[15:50] Raphtalia**
Which means it's getting bad there, huh?
**[15:54] Naofumi**
Maybe.
**[15:56] Filo**
Master?
**[15:58] Filo**
He's here.
**[16:00] Filo**
We're heading to the Spirit Tortoise
Kingdom, far to the east!
**[16:06] Filo**
Okay, I'll ask.
**[16:08] Filo**
Master, Fitoria wants to know if
you're going to the Spirit Tortoise.
**[16:15] Naofumi**
Fitoria?
**[16:17] Raphtalia**
Filo, are you talking to Fitoria-san?
**[16:19] Filo**
Yeah.
**[16:21] Filo**
Um, I can hear her.
**[16:23] Naofumi**
So that little hair that sticks
out is an antenna or something?
**[16:27] Fitoria**
I see.
**[16:28] Fitoria**
Then tell the Shield Hero that this
is the choice I spoke of before.
**[16:34] Fitoria**
If the Four Heroes still
can't work together...
**[16:37] Filo & Fitoria**
Then you should do something
about the Spirit Tortoise,
**[16:40] Filo & Fitoria**
she says!
**[16:41] Naofumi**
The choice...
**[16:43] Naofumi**
"The world demands
sacrifices from all life," huh?
**[16:46] Naofumi**
What's that got to do with
the Spirit Tortoise?
**[16:49] Filo**
She says don't ask her.
**[16:50] Filo**
Think about it yourself, she says.
**[16:53] Naofumi**
She's mad.
**[16:55] Rishia**
Um, what is she talking about?
**[16:58] Filo**
Um, if Master and the other guys,
like the Spear guy, can't get along...
**[17:03] Naofumi**
We'll be killed by Fitoria,
the Filolial Queen.
**[17:08] Rishia**
Th-Th-Th-That...
**[17:10] Rishia**
Includes Itsuki-sama?
**[17:19] Naofumi**
We'll just have to go to
the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom, I guess.
**[17:37] Man**
Did you hear?
**[17:39] Man**
The capital's already under
attack by the Spirit Tortoise.
**[17:41] Mystery Man**
Seriously? It'll be here soon, then.
**[17:45] Man**
But they say that several nations have
banded together to fight it, right?
**[17:50] Man**
They say even the Four Heroes are coming.
**[17:54] Mystery Man**
That's the thing! The heroes!
**[17:56] Mystery Man**
They tried to fight it and
three of the four died!
**[18:00] Man**
Really?
**[18:01] Mystery Man**
What are they going to
do about the Waves now?
**[18:06] Mystery Man**
Sheesh... both the heroes and the
ones who summoned them are morons.
**[18:10] Traveler**
Yeah... it's pretty bad.
**[18:11] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[18:12] Naofumi**
Hey!
**[18:13] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san?
**[18:17] Naofumi**
Follow her, Filo!
**[18:19] Filo**
Right!
**[18:24] Naofumi**
Wait!
**[18:31] Naofumi**
There's no point in running off
without a clue where you're going.
**[18:34] Rishia**
But... But Itsuki-sama...
**[18:40] Naofumi**
Calm down, Rishia.
**[18:42] Naofumi**
Filo, can you talk to Fitoria?
**[18:46] Filo**
Yeah. I can.
**[18:48] Naofumi**
I don't know if she'll be able to tell,
**[18:51] Naofumi**
but ask if any of the current
Four Heroes have been killed.
**[19:00] Filo**
Um, she says no.
**[19:03] Naofumi**
You heard her.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
So calm down.
**[19:08] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san...
**[19:09] Naofumi**
I don't want to lose any of
the other heroes myself.
**[19:13] Naofumi**
Let's ask around and find out where...
**[19:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, over there, too!
**[19:22] Naofumi**
What?
**[19:23] Naofumi**
What are those things?
**[19:30] Naofumi**
Toward the checkpoint?
**[19:36] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo, follow me!
**[19:38] Naofumi**
Rishia, get the people to town!
**[19:40] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[19:40] Filo**
'Kay!
**[19:42] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[19:45] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[19:52] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[19:58] Rishia**
This way, everyone! Hurry!
**[19:59] Rishia**
It's still safe in town!
**[20:02] Naofumi**
Go!
**[20:03] Townspeople**
Okay!
**[20:07] Naofumi**
Filo, use magic over there!
**[20:09] Filo**
Okay! Drifa Tornado!
**[20:15] Naofumi**
Get the ones who couldn't
make it out in time!
**[20:17] Naofumi**
I'll handle this!
**[20:18] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[20:19] Filo**
Okay!
**[20:20] Naofumi**
Hate Reaction!
**[20:28] Naofumi**
Come on!
**[20:30] Naofumi**
Tornado Shield!
**[20:33] Raphtalia**
He did it!
**[20:38] Naofumi**
Okay.
**[20:39] Naofumi**
That's most of them.
**[20:45] Naofumi**
Crap!
**[20:46] Naofumi**
There are way more than before!
**[20:48] Naofumi**
Wrath Shield!
**[20:55] Rishia**
That's...
**[20:59] Raphtalia**
Get down!
**[21:07] Naofumi**
Dark Curse Burning!
**[21:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[21:29] Filo**
Master!
**[21:30] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[21:34] Naofumi**
Sorry...
**[21:39] Naofumi**
I'm just fine.
**[21:41] Raphtalia**
Don't lie to me.
**[21:44] Naofumi**
You can tell, huh?
**[21:49] Ost**
You are the Shield Hero, I presume?
**[21:54] Naofumi**
Yeah. Why?
**[21:56] Ost**
I thought so.
**[21:58] Ost**
Please,
**[22:00] Ost**
kill me.

***SIGN*** Episode 2 Footprints of the Spirit Tortoise
**[02:31] Mirelia**
Tell me what we're looking at.
**[02:34] Haikazuya Officer**
After the Spirit Tortoise
destroyed the capital,
**[02:37] Haikazuya Officer**
it headed toward this border
town before shutting down.
**[02:41] Haikazuya Officer**
If the legends are correct, it will remain
in that state for two or three days.
**[02:46] Mideus Officer**
It destroyed this nation's capital,
**[02:48] Mideus Officer**
took the lives of the royal family and many
of its people, and now it's taking a nap?
**[02:53] Mideus Officer**
Accursed creature!
**[02:55] Mirelia**
Legends say that the Spirit Tortoise
mostly attacks densely populated areas.
**[03:01] Mirelia**
Its next target would be Lowhirot,
**[03:05] Mirelia**
and this was merely a stop along its way.
**[03:08] Lowhirot Officer**
The Spirit Tortoise can't afford to ignore
a force as large as the one we've amassed.
**[03:13] Naofumi**
So, how are we going to
destroy something that size?
**[03:18] Mideus Officer**
The Shield Hero?
**[03:20] Mirelia**
If the Queen's right, we've got
two or three days at most.
**[03:24] Mirelia**
We have to come up with a plan and
get ready before it wakes up.
**[03:27] Mirelia**
There's not much time.
**[03:29] Haikazuya Officer**
Get ready? That won't take long at all!
**[03:32] Haikazuya Officer**
We have brave knights and soldiers
from every kingdom in the land!
**[03:36] Haikazuya Officer**
If we charge at it with banners
raised high, it won't stand a chance!
**[03:40] Mideus Officer**
Indeed.
**[03:42] Lowhirot Officer**
We don't need the help of the Four Heroes!
**[03:44] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
You will fail!
**[03:46] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
We threw thousands, tens of thousands of our
most loyal troops at that walking fortress,
**[03:51] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
and they couldn't stop it!
**[03:55] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
Defeating the Spirit Tortoise by
conventional means is impossible!
**[04:00] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
We need the help of the Four Heroes.
**[04:08] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[04:11] Naofumi**
I know.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
But don't get any dumb ideas about
dying gloriously in battle.
**[04:16] Naofumi**
I want to minimize casualties.
**[04:18] Naofumi**
Otherwise it'll interfere with our
real job, which is to fight the Waves.
**[04:22] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, you didn't need to say that.
**[04:27] Mirelia**
Then let us come up with a plan for the
allied armies to defeat the Spirit Tortoise.
**[04:39] Grandma**
Oh, if it isn't my student Rishia!
**[04:42] Grandma**
There you are.
**[04:44] Filo**
Eclair-oneechan!
**[04:46] Rishia**
Instructor!
**[04:47] Rishia**
What are you doing here?
**[04:49] Grandma**
I heard that the Saint is going to
fight one of the legendary monsters.
**[04:53] Grandma**
So I came to help him as soon as we could.
**[04:57] Eclair**
Likewise.
**[04:58] Eclair**
This is a threat to my nation
that rivals the Waves.
**[05:02] Eclair**
I'm sorry for not doing my
duty for Iwatani-dono,
**[05:04] Eclair**
but I stopped training the
soldiers and hurried here.
**[05:07] Rishia**
I see.
**[05:09] Eclair**
So, where is he?
**[05:12] Rishia**
Um... in that building?
**[05:15] Rishia**
Something about coming up with a
plan to defeat the Spirit Tortoise?
**[05:17] Filo**
It's not fair that Raphtalia-oneechan is
the only one that gets to go with him!
**[05:21] Filo**
I'm hungry!
**[05:24] Eclair**
So the Queen's with him, then?
**[05:29] Rishia**
We saw her before...
**[05:31] Eclair**
Isn't that...
**[05:36] Mideus Officer**
I'd like to hear what the
Shield Hero thinks, but...
**[05:41] Mideus Officer**
What of the Seven Star Heroes?
**[05:45] Lowhirot Officer**
They've left their countries and are
on their way, but some are far off.
**[05:50] Lowhirot Officer**
They may not make it in time.
**[05:52] Naofumi**
Seven Star Heroes?
**[05:54] Mirelia**
Seven heroes who use vassal weapons,
different than the Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[06:00] Mirelia**
Some of them were, like you,
summoned from another world.
**[06:05] Mirelia**
And some of them were
chosen from this world.
**[06:07] Naofumi**
Vassal weapons...
**[06:12] Naofumi**
So there are other heroes besides us?
**[06:15] Naofumi**
Are they strong?
**[06:18] Mirelia**
To be perfectly honest,
**[06:19] Mirelia**
they are likely weaker than you
and the other heroes are now.
**[06:23] Naofumi**
So better than nothing, I guess.
**[06:27] Naofumi**
So? Where are these Seven Star Heroes?
**[06:31] Mirelia**
Well...
**[06:32] Ost**
Excuse me.
**[06:34] Mirelia**
You're...
**[06:36] Ost**
It's been many years since
we've met, Queen of Melromarc.
**[06:39] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, that's...
**[06:42] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[06:43] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
My lady! I'm so glad you're safe...
**[06:46] Naofumi**
"My lady"?
**[06:47] Mirelia**
She is the concubine of the now-deceased
King of the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom,
**[06:51] Mirelia**
and the nation's regent!
**[06:54] Ost**
I didn't give you my name when
we met the other day, did I,
**[06:57] Ost**
Shield Hero?
**[06:59] Ost**
Allow me to introduce myself properly.
**[07:01] Ost**
I am Ost Hourai.
**[07:05] Naofumi**
Ost Hourai?
**[07:08] Ost**
Yes.
**[07:09] Ost**
The king's concubine, and regent.
**[07:12] Ost**
But that's just what the world thinks I am.
**[07:17] Ost**
In fact, I am a familiar
of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[07:22] Naofumi**
What?
**[07:25] Ost**
You've met other familiars of
the Spirit Tortoise, I believe.
**[07:32] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[07:34] Naofumi**
You're the same as those bats and yetis? You?
**[07:39] Ost**
Yes. I take the form of a human. That's all.
**[07:44] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
What are you saying, my lady?
**[07:47] Ost**
Sorry.
**[07:48] Ost**
Everything you knew was a lie.
**[07:51] Ost**
My job as a human-type familiar was
to get close to the center of power
**[07:58] Ost**
and use subterfuge to gather
a minimum number of souls.
**[08:03] Naofumi**
Wait.
**[08:03] Naofumi**
What the hell are you talking about?
**[08:06] Naofumi**
Gather souls? What do you mean?
**[08:09] Ost**
The task of my lord and creator,
the Spirit Tortoise,
**[08:13] Ost**
is to block the Waves of
Calamity from appearing,
**[08:16] Ost**
using souls as a resource.
**[08:20] Naofumi**
Block the Waves from appearing?
**[08:23] Ost**
Yes.
**[08:26] Ost**
Human-type familiars such as myself were
tasked with deceiving the powerful,
**[08:30] Ost**
forcing countries to fight
so we could gather souls.
**[08:35] Ost**
And if that failed,
**[08:37] Ost**
monster familiars would be used to gather
the souls gradually from all over the world.
**[08:42] Ost**
And if that failed, as a last resort,
**[08:47] Ost**
the seal on the Spirit Tortoise
itself would be broken,
**[08:50] Ost**
and it would stalk the world itself,
gathering countless souls at once.
**[08:58] Ost**
But this time, someone broke
the seal without any warning,
**[09:02] Ost**
and the Spirit Tortoise is committing
destruction not of its own volition.
**[09:06] Ost**
Even if it can stop the Waves, there'll be
no world left when it's through.
**[09:13] Ost**
And I will not be able to fulfill my duty.
**[09:16] Ost**
Shield Hero, please destroy
my creator, the Spirit Tortoise.
**[09:23] Naofumi**
You said someone broke the seal.
**[09:27] Naofumi**
Can anybody break it?
**[09:29] Ost**
Only I know the method, or should know.
**[09:32] Ost**
The duty of a human-type familiar was to tell
the Four Heroes how to break the seal,
**[09:38] Ost**
should they ever discover
our plans and defeat us.
**[09:42] Naofumi**
What? Why would you tell us that?
**[09:47] Ost**
When protecting the world from the
Waves is no longer possible,
**[09:50] Ost**
it is the task of the Four Cardinal
Heroes to revive the Spirit Tortoise
**[09:56] Ost**
and gather souls to stop
them from appearing.
**[10:04] Naofumi**
"The world demands
sacrifices from all life."
**[10:09] Naofumi**
Is that what you meant, Fitoria?
**[10:12] Mirelia**
If that's true, then...
**[10:15] Mirelia**
What a terrible trial fate has
set out for us and the heroes.
**[10:21] Ost**
Um... I'm sorry.
**[10:24] Mirelia**
Ost Hourai, it's more unbelievable
to me that you're not human.
**[10:33] Ost**
I'm sorry.
**[10:34] Ost**
It was my duty.
**[10:35] Ost**
I wanted to look the part, so I played
the role of an, uh... evil consort?
**[10:43] Naofumi**
Right now, the Spirit Tortoise is out there
even though its real self doesn't want to be.
**[10:47] Naofumi**
Right?
**[10:48] Ost**
Yes.
**[10:49] Ost**
I believe the one who broke
the seal is controlling it.
**[10:53] Naofumi**
You're just a familiar.
As such, what can you do?
**[10:57] Naofumi**
You didn't just come here to
ask us to defeat it, did you?
**[11:01] Ost**
Of course, I'll provide what advice I can to
help you find the one behind this and stop it.
**[11:09] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise's role is to gather souls,
so it heads to densely populated areas.
**[11:16] Ost**
So this would be its next target.
**[11:20] Mirelia**
That was in the legends, so... um...
**[11:25] Naofumi**
Anything else?
**[11:26] Ost**
Um...
**[11:29] Ost**
The head! Yes, the head!
**[11:32] Ost**
If you cut off its head, you can stop it!
**[11:36] Naofumi**
Yeah, most monsters die if
you cut off their heads.
**[11:39] Haikazuya Officer**
This is ridiculous!
**[11:42] Haikazuya Officer**
This war council is a sacred place!
Are you mocking it?
**[11:45] Haikazuya Officer**
If you are, then I'll take
off your head first!
**[11:48] Haikazuya Officer**
If we're lucky, that will get
rid of the Spirit Tortoise, too!
**[11:51] Ost**
That... That's impossible.
**[11:54] Ost**
If you don't defeat the
Spirit Tortoise itself,
**[11:56] Ost**
no matter how many times you
kill me, I'll just come back.
**[12:02] Mideus Officer**
Calm down.
**[12:03] Mideus Officer**
We know how to defeat it.
**[12:06] Mideus Officer**
Now we just need a plan to do it.
**[12:09] Mideus Officer**
What's more important now is...
**[12:11] Lowhirot Officer**
That's right.
**[12:12] Lowhirot Officer**
Who takes command?
**[12:15] Naofumi**
What?
**[12:16] Haikazuya Officer**
Of course, we're providing the bulk
of the corps, so we'll take command.
**[12:21] Lowhirot Officer**
What?
**[12:22] Lowhirot Officer**
You'll need siege weapons
to take the Tortoise's head.
**[12:26] Lowhirot Officer**
And my nation has the most!
**[12:29] Mideus Officer**
But Melromarc is providing
the majority of the funding.
**[12:34] Mideus Officer**
And they sent the Shield Hero, too.
**[12:38] Mirelia**
That's not the issue right now.
**[12:40] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
That's right!
**[12:41] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
It doesn't matter who takes command!
**[12:44] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
But I want our battalion to take
the vanguard of the charge!
**[12:50] Haikazuya Officer**
What can one battalion do in a charge?
**[12:53] Lowhirot Officer**
That's right! You stay in the rear!
**[12:56] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
But we need to avenge our dead!
**[12:59] Haikazuya Officer**
By dying for nothing?
**[13:00] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
If that brings victory,
then we'll die gladly!
**[13:02] Naofumi**
Enough!
**[13:04] Naofumi**
I could not give less of a shit.
**[13:06] Naofumi**
You can talk about crap when
you're fighting other humans.
**[13:14] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
You may be the Shield Hero,
but that doesn't give you the right.
**[13:17] Naofumi**
If you've got a plan that will take down the
Spirit Tortoise with minimal casualties,
**[13:20] Naofumi**
I'll take anybody's orders, or if you
need me to, I'll give the orders myself.
**[13:24] Naofumi**
But if you're going to sit here thinking
about who gets the credit instead, I'm out.
**[13:31] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
Wha—
**[13:32] Naofumi**
But I'll defeat the Spirit Tortoise.
Me and my comrades,
**[13:35] Naofumi**
to protect my territory.
**[13:38] Naofumi**
You guys can sit here and talk.
**[14:02] Eclair**
It ended without an agreement?
**[14:05] Eclair**
What the hell is Iwatani-dono doing?
**[14:08] Grandma**
We fight alone, then?
**[14:10] Grandma**
That sounds like the Saint.
**[14:12] Eclair**
It's not a good thing!
**[14:14] Eclair**
How can we defeat something
that size all by ourselves?
**[14:19] Ost**
I'm sorry...
**[14:21] Ost**
If only I'd tried to be more mysterious.
**[14:28] Ost**
Um, may I ask you to introduce yourselves?
**[14:33] Raphtalia**
Oh, of course!
**[14:35] Raphtalia**
I never did give my name, did I?
**[14:38] Raphtalia**
I'm Raphtalia.
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
And this...
**[14:41] Filo**
My name's Filo!
**[14:44] Rishia**
R-Rishia Ivyred.
**[14:47] Grandma**
Elrasla Grilaroc, heir to Hengen Muso.
**[14:52] Eclair**
Eclair Seyaette, present lord
of the territories of Seyaette.
**[14:56] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama is ruler of a demi-human
area in Seyaette.
**[15:03] Raphtalia**
Eclair-san volunteered to train the
demi-humans in how to use a sword.
**[15:10] Raphtalia**
She's been training Rishia-san
and myself, too.
**[15:15] Ost**
Oh my. That's wonderful.
**[15:18] Eclair**
My father died in the first Wave,
**[15:20] Eclair**
and I wanted to atone for his
failure to protect their village.
**[15:26] Eclair**
Of course, I don't think
it'll forgive anything.
**[15:30] Raphtalia**
No... You've done your best.
**[15:34] Raphtalia**
I'm much better with my sword now!
**[15:38] Raphtalia**
I'm really grateful!
**[15:40] Rishia**
Me, too!
**[15:42] Eclair**
It makes me happy to hear you say that.
**[15:45] Ost**
Oh, sorry.
**[15:47] Ost**
I need to give my name, too.
**[15:50] Eclair**
Regent of Spirit Tortoise Kingdom, Ost Hourai.
**[15:52] Eclair**
I've heard of you.
**[15:54] Ost**
Oh, that's a lie.
**[15:56] Grandma**
A lie?
**[15:58] Ost**
It's a long story, actually.
**[16:07] Raphtalia**
You're not cold?
**[16:11] Raphtalia**
It gets chilly at night in this area.
**[16:14] Naofumi**
Yeah, I'm fine.
**[16:17] Raphtalia**
It's a pretty town, isn't it?
**[16:19] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[16:21] Raphtalia**
If it weren't for what happened, the lights
in the houses would make it even prettier.
**[16:26] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[16:29] Raphtalia**
Will this town be destroyed, too?
**[16:32] Raphtalia**
By a disaster besides one of the Waves.
**[16:35] Naofumi**
At this rate, yes.
**[16:38] Raphtalia**
Is there any way to protect it?
**[16:40] Naofumi**
Well...
**[16:42] Raphtalia**
I'm really happy that our village
is so important to you.
**[16:47] Raphtalia**
But I don't want you thinking
it's all that matters.
**[16:52] Raphtalia**
You'll probably disagree,
**[16:55] Raphtalia**
but I don't think those
generals are bad people.
**[16:59] Raphtalia**
At the bottom of their hearts,
they just want to protect their homes.
**[17:04] Raphtalia**
You feel the same, right?
**[17:09] Raphtalia**
You said you'd be willing to take command
if there was a good plan, right?
**[17:15] Raphtalia**
Let's think of one!
**[17:17] Raphtalia**
With Filo and Rishia-san and the Queen.
**[17:21] Raphtalia**
Let's show them a plan they won't be
able to complain about in the least!
**[17:26] Raphtalia**
And then everyone will listen to you!
**[17:29] Raphtalia**
Because you're the Shield Hero!
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Sheesh...
**[17:40] Naofumi**
If the Spirit Tortoise goes to
where there are lots of souls,
**[17:44] Naofumi**
we don't need to stay in town and wait.
**[17:47] Naofumi**
Use numbers to lure it out,
**[17:49] Naofumi**
and then find some way to pin it down.
**[17:52] Naofumi**
You don't need to defeat it.
**[17:54] Naofumi**
We'll take care of the rest.
**[17:56] Haikazuya Officer**
My nation of Haikazuya will provide a
dragon rider battalion to serve as a decoy.
**[18:00] Haikazuya Officer**
Cavalry, heavy troops, archers...
**[18:03] Haikazuya Officer**
We are the strongest nation in the land.
**[18:07] Naofumi**
As for pinning it down...
**[18:08] Lowhirot Officer**
Lowhirot has stationed every
siege weapon it has in the area.
**[18:14] Lowhirot Officer**
No matter how big it is, we can
knock out at least one leg.
**[18:18] Naofumi**
Good.
**[18:19] Naofumi**
But that's less than I'd like.
**[18:23] Naofumi**
Is that still in use?
**[18:25] Mideus Officer**
A fortress from the last great war.
**[18:29] Mideus Officer**
It's been abandoned for decades.
**[18:32] Naofumi**
Can we bring it down?
**[18:34] Naofumi**
With ritual magic or something?
**[18:36] Mideus Officer**
Mideus can provide mages that will
do it, but it will only work once.
**[18:42] Mideus Officer**
Though we'll do it as many times as you want,
**[18:45] Mideus Officer**
if you don't care how many mages die.
**[18:47] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
We have enough bombs to blow up a mountain.
**[18:52] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
We never got the chance to use them.
**[18:54] Naofumi**
We'll use them, then.
**[18:55] Naofumi**
We'll keep the multi-caster
magic for if we need it.
**[18:58] Haikazuya Officer**
We'll get to it immediately, then.
**[19:02] Naofumi**
Now, when it's done,
how do we cut off its head?
**[19:07] Raphtalia**
It would be hard to do it with this.
**[19:10] Filo**
Should I eat it?
**[19:11] Naofumi**
No.
**[19:14] Naofumi**
We'll head back and come
up with a plan ourselves.
**[19:18] Grandma**
With my and my student's Hengen Muso
and Raphtalia's swordsmanship,
**[19:22] Grandma**
we may find a way.
**[19:25] Rishia**
Um, Naofumi-san...
**[19:27] Rishia**
What do I do?
**[19:31] Naofumi**
Go with Ost to the town library and learn
what you can about the Spirit Tortoise.
**[19:36] Naofumi**
That's an important job, too. Probably.
**[19:39] Ost**
Let's do our best!
**[19:41] Rishia**
Right...
**[20:23] Eclair**
Oh, right. I stopped at the
capital before coming here.
**[20:27] Eclair**
Elhart-dono gave me something for you.
**[20:30] Eclair**
I'll go get it.
***SIGN*** Usauni Sword
**[20:34] Raphtalia**
It's beautiful.
***SIGN*** Inult Claw
***SIGN*** Filo Kigurumi
**[20:39] Rishia**
How do I look?
**[20:40] Rishia**
Kweh! Kweh!
**[20:42] Raphtalia**
Just like the real thing!
**[20:43] Filo**
I do not say, "Kweh!"
**[20:45] Rishia**
Kweh! Kweh!
**[20:50] Ost**
So you're journeying with the Shield Hero
for the sake of the Bow Hero, huh?
**[20:56] Rishia**
Yes.
**[20:58] Rishia**
But when you say it like that,
it makes me sound like an awful person.
**[21:03] Naofumi**
I was the one who brought you with me.
**[21:05] Naofumi**
Don't be so hard on yourself.
**[21:07] Rishia**
Okay...
**[21:09] Ost**
You're in love with the
Bow Hero, aren't you?
**[21:13] Ost**
I think I can give you advice, then!
**[21:16] Ost**
I don't have much confidence I can help with
the Spirit Tortoise, but this, I can help with!
**[21:20] Rishia**
What, exactly?
**[21:23] Ost**
The key is to get intimate
as fast as possible!
**[21:27] Ost**
Do it and then think later!
**[21:30] Ost**
I seduced a ton of royals that way!
**[21:34] Rishia**
"D-D-D-D-Do it"? I can't...
**[21:37] Rishia**
It's not like that!
**[21:41] Naofumi**
You know what she meant, huh, Rishia?
**[21:44] Naofumi**
Well, you're old enough, I think.
**[21:46] Naofumi**
Even if you don't look it.
**[21:47] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[21:49] Grandma**
It's nice to be young.
**[21:52] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, what does she mean?
**[22:00] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise...

**[00:38] Soldier**
I bring news.
**[00:40] Soldier**
Our scouts are telling us that the
Spirit Tortoise has become active again.
**[00:44] Soldier**
The Shield Hero's party and the
Haikazuya army's dragon riders,
**[00:48] Soldier**
along with the Melromarc cavalry,
have begun preparations for the attack.
**[00:57] Mirelia**
Order Lowhirot's siege units and the Spirit
Tortoise Kingdom's sappers to take positions.
**[01:04] Soldier**
Understood!
**[01:12] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
I will take command of the sappers.
**[01:21] Mirelia**
Good luck to all of you.
***SIGN*** Episode 3 Shaking Land
**[01:47] Naofumi**
You're one of the queen's aides, right?
**[01:50] Naofumi**
What do you want?
**[01:51] Aide**
I've been told to serve
as your messenger, I daresay.
**[01:57] Naofumi**
You...
**[01:59] Naofumi**
You're one of Melty's shadows, aren't you?
**[02:01] Naofumi**
Shouldn't you be with her?
**[02:03] Aide**
She's asked me to help you.
**[02:08] Naofumi**
I see.
**[02:10] Eclair**
Iwatani-dono!
**[02:13] Eclair**
We'll do this as planned, then.
**[02:14] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[02:16] Naofumi**
We need your skills as an instructor.
**[02:18] Naofumi**
Don't stand at the front of
any charges and get killed.
**[02:22] Eclair**
That's my line.
**[02:24] Eclair**
See you on the battlefield, then.
**[02:29] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, help me.
**[02:34] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[02:42] Filo**
Let's hurry up!
**[02:54] Eclair**
Battalion!
**[02:56] Soldiers**
Company! Company!
**[03:02] Soldiers**
Draw swords!
**[03:03] Soldiers**
Draw swords!
**[03:11] Soldiers**
Ready!
**[03:21] Eclair**
Forward!
**[03:29] Soldiers**
That's...!
**[03:32] Soldiers**
Look! That flag!
**[03:37] Soldiers**
The Hero! The Shield Hero!
**[03:42] Soldiers**
Shield Hero!
**[03:46] Soldiers**
We're counting on you!
**[03:59] Eclair**
Amazing.
**[04:01] Eclair**
He's raised the morale of the
troops just by doing that.
**[04:06] Ost**
I see!
**[04:08] Raphtalia**
That's why he wanted the flag.
**[04:11] Naofumi**
That's part of it.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
But later, it's going to serve as a warning:
"Don't get close to the flag."
**[04:17] Naofumi**
I'm about to summon it, after all.
**[04:27] Ost**
Rishia-san!
**[04:29] Rishia**
Right!
**[04:37] Naofumi**
Okay, let's get to it!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[06:28] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[06:29] Filo**
Right!
**[06:34] Naofumi**
Hate reaction!
**[06:44] Raphtalia**
It worked!
**[06:44] Naofumi**
For now.
**[06:47] Naofumi**
Floor it, Filo!
**[06:48] Naofumi**
Don't let them catch us!
**[06:50] Filo**
On it!
**[06:53] Eclair**
We're counting on you, Iwatani-dono!
**[06:55] Eclair**
Stay in formation!
**[06:57] Eclair**
We're going to lure the
Spirit Tortoise away!
**[07:09] Soldier**
Get the weapons ready!
**[07:12] Soldier**
It's here!
**[07:26] Eclair**
Tactical column!
**[07:28] Soldiers**
Tactical column!
**[07:29] Soldiers**
Tactical column!
**[07:42] Soldiers**
Prepare to fire!
**[07:46] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[07:53] Naofumi**
Well, we've got it where we want it.
**[07:55] Rishia**
W-We can't keep this up any longer!
**[08:00] Naofumi**
Shit! Filo, stop!
**[08:06] Naofumi**
We'll take down the familiars now!
**[08:08] Filo & Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[08:09] Rishia**
Against a-a-a-all of them?
**[08:13] Elrasla**
They might take all of us down!
**[08:17] Elrasla**
Rishia, my student, show me what you can do!
**[08:20] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[08:22] Ost**
I, Ost Hourai, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[08:25] Ost**
Sever the laws of reality,
**[08:27] Ost**
bind them together, and make
them spit out the pus within.
**[08:31] Ost**
By my power, may the gravity of
those before me be amplified!
**[08:36] Ost**
Ultra-Gravity Enhancement: Sinking Temple!
**[08:40] Naofumi**
Is she... controlling gravity?
**[08:45] Rishia**
I've never heard an incantation
like that before...
**[08:48] Ost**
Only a few monsters can use it.
**[08:54] Ost**
Now! Hurry!
**[08:58] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo! Rishia! Old woman!
**[09:01] All**
Right!
**[09:05] Soldiers**
Fire!
**[09:06] Soldiers**
Fire!
**[09:33] Raphtalia**
Ying-Yang Blade!
**[09:42] Elrasla**
Hengen Muso Secret
Technique: Crescent Moon!
**[09:52] Filo**
Drifa Tornado!
**[09:59] Rishia**
Everyone... you're all amazing.
**[10:02] Naofumi**
But it doesn't mean a thing
if they just keep coming!
**[10:05] Aide**
Reporting, I daresay.
**[10:08] Aide**
The Spirit Tortoise's advance has not stopped.
**[10:11] Aide**
The siege weapon attack was ineffectual.
**[10:15] Aide**
The siege weapon teams have not retreated,
however, and are continuing the assault!
**[10:20] Soldier**
Concentrate attacks on its right foreleg!
**[10:23] Soldier**
We'll knock out one of them, at least!
**[10:28] Soldier**
The right leg!
**[10:30] Soldier**
Concentrate on its right leg!
**[10:33] Soldier**
Fire!
**[10:51] Ost**
The siege units have sustained
over 50 percent casualties, I daresay.
**[10:54] Naofumi**
What about the sappers in the fort?
**[10:56] Aide**
Preparations are complete.
**[10:58] Aide**
The bombing teams have withdrawn.
**[10:59] Aide**
The Spirit Tortoise Kingdom's
commander remained alone.
**[11:03] Naofumi**
What?
**[11:15] Spirit Tortoise**
Don't be in such a hurry, Spirit Tortoise.
**[11:17] Spirit Tortoise**
I'm about to send you back to bed.
**[11:28] Aide**
Another shadow sent up a signal.
**[11:30] Aide**
The sappers' bombs have stopped
the Spirit Tortoise's advance.
**[11:34] Aide**
They say the commander met his
end in the collapse, I daresay.
**[11:40] Naofumi**
I see.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
Now all that's left is to cut off its head.
**[12:13] Elrasla**
That's beyond even me.
**[12:16] Elrasla**
If only my two students had completely
mastered Hengen Muso style,
**[12:21] Elrasla**
then perhaps...
**[12:28] Ost**
What's wrong?
**[12:30] Rishia**
Um...
**[12:31] Rishia**
The queen found this record for
me just before the battle began.
**[12:37] Rishia**
And it says...
**[12:39] Rishia**
Th-This! This is it!
**[12:42] Ost**
This is...
**[12:45] Rishia**
Ost-san! What's wrong?
**[12:47] Naofumi**
We should get close and...
**[12:49] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[12:51] Rishia**
Even when the Spirit Tortoise
stops moving, it's still dangerous!
**[12:53] Naofumi**
What?
**[12:55] Ost**
Getting close to it may have awakened
some information in my mind.
**[13:00] Ost**
When the Spirit Tortoise can no
longer take souls directly...
**[13:08] Naofumi**
What?
**[13:09] Ost**
It begins a long-range assault.
**[13:14] Soldier**
Look.
**[13:16] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[13:17] Ost**
It's too dangerous!
**[13:18] Ost**
Have them all fall back!
**[13:20] Naofumi**
Get moving! Now!
**[13:36] Naofumi**
This is insane!
**[13:37] Naofumi**
Is it that hungry?
**[13:39] Ost**
It's taking far more souls than it needs.
**[13:43] Ost**
Whoever's controlling it is probably...
**[13:46] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[13:49] Ost**
Th-Thank you!
**[13:51] Naofumi**
It's going to slaughter us!
**[13:58] Naofumi**
I guess I don't have a choice.
**[14:00] Naofumi**
Everyone, get in the carriage!
**[14:01] All**
Okay!
**[14:04] Naofumi**
And... Shadow!
**[14:06] Aide**
I'm right here.
**[14:08] Naofumi**
Give this message to the queen and
the others at main HQ immediately.
**[14:12] Eclair**
What do we do?
**[14:16] Eclair**
Iwatani-dono? What are you...
**[14:23] Eclair**
We will now charge the Spirit Tortoise!
**[14:27] Soldier**
Eclair-sama, that's suicide!
**[14:31] Eclair**
Look.
**[14:32] Eclair**
Those thorns aren't landing
anywhere close to it.
**[14:35] Eclair**
It's probably trying to
avoid hurting itself.
**[14:38] Soldier**
But the soldiers will take casualties.
**[14:40] Eclair**
This whole area is inside its firing range.
**[14:44] Eclair**
If we fall back now, when our formation
has collapsed, we'll be wiped out.
**[14:49] Eclair**
Follow the Shield Hero!
**[14:51] Eclair**
Ready... charge!
**[14:54] Soldiers**
Charge!
**[14:55] Soldier**
The Spirit Tortoise was stopped,
**[14:58] Soldier**
but it launched some kind of thorns
from its shell at our troops!
**[15:02] Soldier**
We've taken massive damage!
**[15:04] Soldier**
Reporting!
**[15:05] Soldier**
The remaining troops are charging the
Tortoise at the Shield Hero's orders!
**[15:10] Haikazuya Commander**
Madness! What is he thinking?
**[15:12] Mirelia**
Knowing Iwatani-sama, he must have a plan.
**[15:16] Soldier**
The Shield Hero has a message for HQ.
**[15:21] Soldier**
"I'm moving the plan to
stage two." That's all.
**[15:25] Mirelia**
I guess it's our only choice.
**[15:28] Mirelia**
Mideus's mage units are to prepare the
high-class multi-caster ritual magic.
**[15:33] Mirelia**
Initiate the incantation immediately!
**[15:44] Soldier**
Don't clump up!
**[15:46] Soldier**
If we do, we'll all be wiped out at once!
**[15:57] Soldier**
Don't... Don't die on me!
**[16:26] Raphtalia**
Multi-caster ritual magic?
**[16:28] Raphtalia**
Don't tell me...
**[16:29] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[16:30] Naofumi**
Our last option.
**[16:35] Naofumi**
Casting it is hard on the mages,
so we can only use it once,
**[16:39] Naofumi**
but we can use the spell like a
mine to blast off its foot.
**[16:41] Ost**
Even if the spell doesn't kill it,
**[16:44] Ost**
there will be a hole we can knock it
into to stop it from moving further.
**[16:48] Naofumi**
Yeah. As big as it is, it might not
even fit all the way in the hole.
**[16:53] Naofumi**
But we'll follow up immediately
by taking its head.
**[16:57] Ost**
That's the best option.
**[16:59] Naofumi**
Are you sure about this?
**[17:01] Naofumi**
If the Spirit Tortoise goes, you'll also...
**[17:04] Ost**
I don't mind.
**[17:06] Ost**
That's why I asked you for help.
**[17:13] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, something's coming!
**[17:22] Filo**
What is that thing?
**[17:27] Naofumi**
A parasite?
**[17:28] Naofumi**
It's a bunch of familiars stuck together?
**[17:30] Naofumi**
Damn it! We're so close!
**[17:36] Ost**
Its familiars are weak enough
that I can stop them.
**[17:40] Naofumi**
You...
**[17:44] Naofumi**
What are you doing?
**[17:45] Soldier**
We'll handle this!
**[17:46] Soldier**
You attack the Tortoise!
**[17:53] Naofumi**
Sorry! Thanks!
**[17:54] Soldier**
Of course!
**[18:13] Soldier**
You're...
**[18:18] Raphtalia**
Hurry, Filo!
**[18:19] Filo**
Roger!
**[18:22] Soldier**
Here and now we unlock the truths,
**[18:25] Soldier**
and bring down the lightning
of God's judgment!
**[18:33] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, isn't that...
**[18:35] Naofumi**
Yeah. Judgment.
**[18:38] Rishia**
The one the p-pope used?
**[18:41] Rishia**
You're using something so
powerful and dangerous?
**[19:00] Elrasla**
Saint, you must not let
this chance go to waste!
**[19:03] Naofumi**
Yeah! I know!
**[19:04] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[19:14] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[19:14] Raphtalia**
Eight Trigrams Blade of Destiny!
**[19:21] Elrasla**
Raphtalia did it!
**[19:29] Raphtalia**
And now you're going to try and run?
**[19:36] Ost**
I, Ost Hourai, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[19:43] Ost**
By my power, may strength be granted
to the holy shield before me!
**[19:59] Naofumi**
Go! Raphtalia! Filo!
**[20:02] Both**
Right!
**[20:02] Rishia**
I-I'll help, too!
**[21:19] Raphtalia**
We did it!
**[21:21] Naofumi**
Yeah...
**[21:23] Raphtalia**
But if we defeated the Spirit Tortoise,
that means that Ost-san is...
**[21:28] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[21:29] Elrasla**
She did her duty as a familiar...
**[21:35] Filo**
Ost-oneechan, Rishia-oneechan is crying.
**[21:40] Rishia**
Thank you...
**[21:48] Naofumi**
Ost... you...
**[21:51] Naofumi**
If you're still here, that means...
**[21:53] Ost**
Huh?
**[21:55] Ost**
Oh, right... That's right.
**[22:00] Ost**
Looks like you haven't defeated
the Spirit Tortoise yet.

**[00:02] Rishia**
* I was born to a family*
* of impoverished nobles.*
**[00:12] Rishia**
* We were poor, but the villagers*
* were always kind to us.*
**[00:15] Girl**
Onee-chan!
**[00:19] Rishia**
*My parents and I lived happily.*
**[00:27] Rishia**
*But one day...*
**[00:33] (Flashback) Dad**
Who are you people?
**[00:37] (Flashback) Man**
Come with us!
**[00:39] (Flashback) Mom**
Stop it! What are you doing?
**[00:41] Rishia**
* I found out later that a wicked noble*
* in the next town over had it out for us.*
**[00:48] Rishia**
*Dad! Mom!*
**[00:52] Rishia**
* My family couldn't pay back the debts*
* that were illegally levied on us,*
**[00:57] Rishia**
*and so the noble took me instead.*
**[01:02] Rishia**
*I thought it was all over, when...*
**[01:14] (Flashback) Itsuki**
You're safe now.
**[01:21] Rishia**
* Itsuki-san revealed his*
* evil deeds to the world.*
**[01:24] Rishia**
*The Bow Hero came to save me.*
**[01:33] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama saved my life
and the lives of my parents.
**[01:39] Raphtalia**
I see.
**[01:41] Rishia**
So I want to repay him...
I want to help him.
**[01:50] Ost**
I may not have the right to say this, but...
**[01:56] Ost**
I'm sure he's safe.
**[02:00] Rishia**
Thank you!
**[02:06] Elrasla**
It seems the decision's
been made then, Saint.
**[02:10] Naofumi**
Yes.
**[02:11] Naofumi**
We leave at dawn.
**[02:15] Naofumi**
For the back of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[02:18] Rishia**
* I'm sure... I'm sure*
* Itsuki-sama is there, too.*

**[03:56] Naofumi**
We cut off the Spirit Tortoise's head,
but its familiar, Ost, is still alive.
**[04:01] Naofumi**
Which means the Tortoise itself could
revive and go on a rampage at any moment.
**[04:07] Naofumi**
But the allied forces need
time to resupply and reorganize.
**[04:13] Naofumi**
It's risky, but our party is going to climb
onto its back and look for its weak point.
**[04:19] Elrasla**
It's the only way.
**[04:21] Elrasla**
We need to finish the Spirit Tortoise
before it comes back to life.
**[04:25] Naofumi**
And if Ost is going to remember
something by getting close to it,
**[04:30] Naofumi**
its back is the most likely spot.
**[04:33] Ost**
Yes.
**[04:34] Rishia**
Oh, Filo-chan! How was the meeting?
**[04:39] Filo**
Everybody was just frowning
all the time. It was dull.
**[04:43] Filo**
There was no food either.
**[04:45] Rishia**
Hey, Filo! I let you take my
place because you wanted to go.
**[04:52] Eclair**
With all those grumpy old men around,
having Filo-dono there made me feel much better.
**[04:57] Naofumi**
Yeah. Raphtalia would just
complain about everything.
**[05:01] Rishia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[05:03] Filo**
Oh, they all had nice things
to say about the turtle lady!
**[05:10] Filo**
Um... They said she saved the
lives of a lot of soldiers.
**[05:15] Ost**
No... I don't deserve your praise.
**[05:19] Ost**
Because my real job is...
**[05:24] Rishia**
Um, uh...
**[05:25] Naofumi**
There it is.
**[05:34] Naofumi**
Those sappers know how to do their jobs.
**[05:38] Naofumi**
Can you get us across this, Filo?
**[05:40] Filo**
Yeah, I'll be fine!
**[05:42] Soldier**
Take care!
**[05:43] Soldier**
Best of luck, Shield Hero!
**[05:48] Soldier**
And you too, Ost-sama.
**[05:54] Ost**
Thanks!
**[05:57] Filo**
Here we go!
**[06:09] Naofumi**
So this is the tortoise's back, huh?
**[06:16] Naofumi**
This is gonna be a tough climb.
**[06:24] Ost**
Do they know who I am?
**[06:28] Eclair**
Those soldiers earlier?
**[06:31] Eclair**
Yeah. The generals sent
out a message to everyone.
**[06:34] Ost**
I see.
**[06:36] Raphtalia**
What is it?
**[06:38] Ost**
I just don't understand.
**[06:40] Ost**
I'm a servant of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[06:43] Ost**
My job is to steal souls.
**[06:46] Ost**
So why would they treat me so kindly?
**[06:54] Raphtalia**
Because you fought alongside us.
**[06:59] Ost**
But...
**[07:00] Eclair**
Sure, maybe when the Spirit
Tortoise goes back to normal,
**[07:03] Eclair**
you may go back to fulfilling your role.
**[07:06] Eclair**
But...
**[07:08] Raphtalia**
It's also true that you saved our lives.
**[07:11] Rishia**
Yeah!
**[07:12] Rishia**
They were grateful to you, I think!
**[07:16] Rishia**
As someone who fought by their side!
**[07:18] Rishia**
Um... as a comrade-in-arms.
**[07:21] Ost**
A comrade-in-arms...
**[07:25] Ost**
If that's how you all feel,
that makes me very happy.
**[07:31] Naofumi**
Well? Think you can remember anything?
**[07:34] Ost**
Oh, right.
**[07:39] Ost**
No. It's like there's a fog inside my mind.
**[07:48] Rishia**
And just like Ost-san...
**[07:56] Filo**
Master...
**[07:58] Filo**
Is it food time yet?
**[08:00] Naofumi**
Hmm... I guess we can set up camp here.
**[08:05] Eclair**
Are you insane, Iwatani-dono?
**[08:07] Ost**
You heard what Ost said.
**[08:09] Ost**
If we just wander around all night,
we won't do anything but exhaust ourselves.
**[08:14] Elrasla**
Sleeping on a monster's back?
How brave you are!
**[08:18] Ost**
Um, well... Sorry.
**[08:27] Ost**
They're cute, aren't they?
**[08:31] Ost**
Like real sisters.
**[08:36] Rishia**
Yeah.
**[08:37] Rishia**
I'm an only child, so I'm jealous.
**[08:41] Rishia**
Of course, that meant I got
all my parents' attention.
**[08:45] Ost**
Are you lonely? Being away
from your parents, I mean.
**[08:50] Rishia**
It was my choice.
**[08:52] Rishia**
And they both supported me when I left.
**[08:58] Rishia**
But...
**[08:59] Rishia**
When I was banished from the party,
**[09:02] Rishia**
and I couldn't be with Itsuki-sama
when I wanted to help him most,
**[09:08] Rishia**
I wondered what it was I was even doing.
**[09:14] Ost**
Even if you had stayed with him,
**[09:16] Ost**
do you think you could've
accomplished anything?
**[09:22] Ost**
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
**[09:28] Ost**
I just thought that now, maybe you
could accomplish something.
**[09:33] Ost**
You, who fought the Spirit Tortoise
not as a comrade of the Bow Hero,
**[09:39] Ost**
but of the Shield Hero...
**[09:43] Ost**
I think that now, you could help the Bow Hero.
**[09:51] Rishia**
I-I'm sorry!
**[09:54] Ost**
H-Huh? Did I end up making you cry after all?
**[09:58] Rishia**
I know you're suffering much more than I am,
**[10:00] Rishia**
but you're trying to make me feel better.
**[10:06] Ost**
Thank you. Those words alone are enough.
**[10:10] Rishia**
But...
**[10:11] Ost**
Don't worry. I'm just fine.
**[10:18] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[10:19] Ost**
Something just...
**[10:24] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[10:25] Rishia**
Ost-san is...
**[10:27] Naofumi**
Something's wrong.
**[10:29] Naofumi**
The fog lifted.
**[10:35] Naofumi**
Well, Ost?
**[10:42] Ost**
There.
**[11:17] Mirelia**
Begin the rescue immediately!
**[11:28] Elrasla**
I expected this to be hard for you,
**[11:29] Elrasla**
but it seems hard for Raphtalia as well.
**[11:33] Naofumi**
You okay, Raphtalia?
**[11:36] Raphtalia**
I'm...
**[11:38] Eclair**
She must've remembered what happened
in that basement prison.
**[11:41] Eclair**
And the bodies of her friends.
**[11:58] Rishia**
Thank you, Filo-chan.
**[12:11] Ost**
Rishia-san.
**[12:24] Mirelia**
They lived their whole lives here while
the Spirit Tortoise was sealed.
**[12:27] Mirelia**
I'm sure they knew this would happen, but...
**[12:29] Mirelia**
If the Tortoise did not
revive of its own will,
**[12:34] Mirelia**
that only makes it worse for those who died.
**[12:37] Naofumi**
Did you learn anything?
**[12:39] Mirelia**
The shadows found a temple up ahead.
**[12:43] Mirelia**
Please, come with me.
**[12:51] Shadow**
Your Majesty.
**[12:52] Mirelia**
Good work. What's the situation?
**[12:55] Shadow**
Like the others. No survivors.
**[12:58] Shadow**
But there's something I want
you to see inside, I daresay.
**[13:02] Shadow**
The damage is extensive and the structure
could collapse at any time, I daresay.
**[13:06] Shadow**
Be careful.
**[13:08] Mirelia**
The texts say this was a shrine
to the Spirit Tortoise.
**[13:15] Naofumi**
Is this where the seal was broken?
**[13:17] Mirelia**
I don't know.
**[13:19] Mirelia**
But it's likely.
**[13:24] Raphtalia**
Are you okay?
**[13:25] Rishia**
Yes! Thank you!
**[13:30] Rishia**
Are you okay, Raphtalia-san?
**[13:34] Raphtalia**
Yes, I'm fine.
**[13:36] Raphtalia**
I know I need to get used to this stuff.
**[13:40] Rishia**
That's not true.
**[13:43] Rishia**
You can't get used to it!
**[13:45] Rishia**
You don't have to get used to it!
**[13:57] Raphtalia**
Thank you, Rishia-san.
And you too, Eclair-san!
**[14:00] Rishia**
No, I...
**[14:03] Rishia**
I don't have the right to tell you anything.
**[14:05] Eclair**
Thanks.
**[14:11] Mirelia**
This is...
**[14:12] Filo**
Tortoise-san!
**[14:15] Rishia**
Ancient writing.
**[14:18] Rishia**
"Spirit Tortoise."
"Guardian Beast of the World"?
**[14:24] Naofumi**
You can read it?
**[14:26] Rishia**
Yes.
**[14:27] Rishia**
It's not that hard.
**[14:28] Mirelia**
The writing is simple, for this field.
**[14:33] Naofumi**
Yet it takes everything I have
to read a spell book!
**[14:38] Rishia**
This seems to describe what
the Spirit Tortoise is.
**[14:43] Rishia**
It doesn't say anything about the seal.
**[14:47] Eclair**
You look more alive now than
you do during sword practice.
**[14:52] Rishia**
Sorry!
**[14:54] Eclair**
No, it's good to have
something you're good at.
**[14:57] Rishia**
Maybe we should make you focus
on that instead of fighting.
**[15:02] Elrasla**
Perhaps.
**[15:04] Elrasla**
But her ability to manipulate
ki is exceptional.
**[15:10] Elrasla**
I meant it when I said she
could master Hengen Muso soon.
**[15:22] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[15:24] Naofumi**
I pray you're right.
**[15:28] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[15:29] Rishia**
This looks like the writing from
another world that's used by the heroes.
**[15:33] Naofumi**
By us?
**[15:35] Rishia**
Yes. I can't read it easily.
**[15:39] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[15:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
***SIGN*** If a _____ summoned from Japan is reading these words, r_me__er t__s. No __tter how powerful a se_l you place on this monster, the ______ seventh___ shatter__ I've learned that its goal is to ____________ the world's_____
**[15:44] Naofumi**
It's Japanese!
**[15:47] Raphtalia**
"Japanese"?
**[15:49] Naofumi**
From my world.
**[15:52] Naofumi**
The language of a country called Japan.
***SIGN*** If a _____ summoned from Japan is reading these words,

**[15:55] Raphtalia**
This is from Naofumi-sama's world.
**[15:59] Mirelia**
It's known as the Hero's Alphabet.
**[16:02] Mirelia**
It must've been left by one of
the ancient Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[16:06] Naofumi**
It's faded and hard to read in spots,
**[16:09] Naofumi**
but I can make out the words
"seal," "seventh," and, "shatter."
**[16:13] Naofumi**
*Seventh?*
**[16:16] Naofumi**
*Does it have something to do with this?*

Keiichi
**[16:24] Ost**
This place contains information
about the Spirit Tortoise's seal,
**[16:26] Ost**
as well as information on how to break it.
**[16:29] Naofumi**
You can read it too, Ost?
**[16:32] Ost**
No, but...
**[16:34] Ost**
I'm starting to remember.
**[16:37] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise...
to defeat it, you have to...
**[16:41] Elrasla**
Oh no! It's collapsing!
**[16:43] Naofumi**
Crap! Get us out of here, Filo!
**[16:45] Filo**
Okay!
**[16:48] Mirelia**
No! This writing is priceless!
**[16:51] Eclair**
Your Majesty, we have
more important priorities!
**[16:53] Shadow**
I'm sorry, I daresay.
**[16:54] Mirelia**
Let me go!
**[16:56] Mirelia**
I'm begging you, as a knight!
**[17:07] Eclair**
That was close.
**[17:11] Shadow**
Another Shadow is reporting that the Spirit
Tortoise is likely to revive soon, I daresay.
**[17:16] Raphtalia**
No! Already?
**[17:18] Elrasla**
I'm afraid we're out of time.
**[17:20] Elrasla**
We must hurry and climb off!
**[17:22] Naofumi**
Damn it! We're so close!
**[17:24] Ost**
It's okay. I remember how to defeat it.
**[17:29] Rishia**
Really, Ost-san?
**[17:32] Ost**
Go inside its body and destroy its heart.
**[17:37] Raphtalia**
Inside its body?
**[17:39] Naofumi**
But how?
**[17:41] Ost**
There's an entrance into its
body deep within the shrine.
**[17:47] Ost**
Follow it, and you'll reach its heart.
**[17:52] Naofumi**
I see.
**[17:54] Naofumi**
We're heading inside the
Spirit Tortoise's body!
**[17:56] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[17:57] Filo**
Roger!
**[17:58] Rishia**
*Oh, no...*
**[18:01] Naofumi**
Queen, Eclair, and old lady, you head off.
**[18:04] Eclair**
Wait, Iwatani-dono! We'll go with you!
**[18:07] Elrasla**
That's right! Don't underestimate
what I can do!
**[18:11] Rishia**
*I have to speak up.*
**[18:13] Naofumi**
I know what you can do. That's why
I want you to command the army.
**[18:17] Naofumi**
If the Spirit Tortoise starts moving again
while we're not here, they'll fall apart.
**[18:22] Elrasla**
I see.
**[18:23] Elrasla**
Then I accept, Saint.
**[18:27] Rishia**
*I'll be left behind, too.*
**[18:37] Naofumi**
Okay, and Rishia?
**[18:39] Naofumi**
You head down and wait at the rear.
**[18:41] Rishia**
No!
**[18:43] Rishia**
I'll go with you!
**[18:45] Naofumi**
Is this about Itsuki?
**[18:47] Rishia**
Of course, I'm worried about him.
**[18:50] Rishia**
But right now, I'm a member of your party.
**[18:54] Rishia**
If you're going, I'm going, too!
**[19:00] Naofumi**
Yeah, that's right.
**[19:03] Naofumi**
Sorry.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[19:06] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo, Ost, and Rishia.
**[19:12] Rishia**
Right!
**[19:19] Naofumi**
This place is eerie.
**[19:20] Filo**
We're inside the turtle, huh?
**[19:23] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[19:24] Naofumi**
Probably in its large intestine.
**[19:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, that's disgusting.
**[19:30] Naofumi**
If souls are what it eats, what does it poop?
**[19:35] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[19:36] Naofumi**
I'm just asking.
**[19:39] Raphtalia**
Well, don't.
**[19:40] Filo**
It doesn't smell weird or anything!
**[19:42] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[19:42] Raphtalia**
Filo, stop.
**[19:43] Filo**
Why?
**[19:48] Ost**
Thank you.
**[19:51] Ost**
For coming with us.
**[19:53] Rishia**
No, it's not something
worth thanking me for.
**[19:58] Ost**
I hope the Bow Hero and the
other Heroes are here, and safe.
**[20:05] Rishia**
I said this a moment ago,
**[20:07] Rishia**
but right now, I'm part
of Naofumi-san's party.
**[20:13] Rishia**
I'm just working towards
what they, and you, want,
**[20:16] Rishia**
which is stopping the Spirit Tortoise.
**[20:23] Naofumi**
You don't change, huh?
**[20:24] Raphtalia**
But that's more like Rishia-san!
**[20:28] Filo**
That's the Rishia-oneechan I'm used to!
**[20:44] Naofumi**
Get back!
**[20:48] Adventurer**
Oh, you're human?
**[20:51] Raphtalia**
Fast Light!
**[20:55] Naofumi**
Adventurers? What are you doing here?
**[20:59] Adventurer**
Oh, you know...
**[21:00] Adventurer**
The queen told us to come here, too.
**[21:04] Naofumi**
The queen?
**[21:05] Ost**
Would Queen Mirelia have given such an order to
people she didn't know in these circumstances?
**[21:11] Adventurer**
Well, you know, the more people, the better.
**[21:16] Adventurer**
Anyway, we'll be going.
**[21:19] Adventurer**
See you around, lad.
**[21:24] Naofumi**
Hold it.
**[21:25] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[21:27] Raphtalia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[21:29] Raphtalia**
Decipher the laws of nature,
and reveal them for who they are!
**[21:33] Raphtalia**
Anti-Mirage!
**[21:36] Rishia**
You're...
**[21:41] L'Arc**
Well, guess you found us out!
**[21:43] L'Arc**
It's been a while, lad!
**[21:45] Naofumi**
L'Arc! Therese!
**[21:48] Naofumi**
And...
**[21:49] Therese**
Why did we even bother with those disguises?
**[21:52] Therese**
You had no intention
of hiding, did you, L'Arc?
**[21:56] Naofumi**
No...
**[21:58] Naofumi**
Is that you? Glass?

**[01:13] Rishia**
You're...
**[01:16] L'Arc**
Well, guess you found us out!
**[01:19] L'Arc**
It's been a while, lad!
**[01:21] Therese**
Why did we even bother with those disguises?
**[01:24] Therese**
You had no intention of
hiding, did you, L'Arc?
**[01:28] Naofumi**
L'Arc! Therese!
**[01:30] Naofumi**
And Glass!
**[01:32] Naofumi**
Why are you here?
**[01:37] Naofumi**
They're supposedly heroes from another world,
sent to kill us Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[01:42] (Flashback) L'Arc**
We just need you to die
for the sake of our world.
**[01:46] Naofumi**
But they were supposed to have gone home
during the Wave at Cal Mira Island.
**[01:55] L'Arc**
Don't look so tense.
**[01:57] L'Arc**
We're not here to fight you this time.
**[02:01] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[02:03] L'Arc**
The Spirit Tortoise, was it?
**[02:05] L'Arc**
And the guy who broke the seal?
**[02:09] L'Arc**
We're here to kick his ass.
***SIGN*** Episode 5 Ost Hourai
**[03:45] Naofumi**
You're here to defeat the one who broke
the seal on the Spirit Tortoise?
**[03:48] Naofumi**
Why do you have to get involved?
**[03:53] Ost**
Whoever it was, they probably came
from another world, like those three.
**[03:59] Naofumi**
Is that right?
**[04:00] Therese**
Yes.
**[04:02] Glass**
He's trying to take control of Guardian
Beasts across several worlds,
**[04:05] Glass**
and make their power his own.
**[04:08] Glass**
It goes against the very laws of the world.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
The laws of the world?
**[04:15] L'Arc**
I know what you're thinking.
**[04:17] L'Arc**
We want to kill you
for the sake of our world.
**[04:23] L'Arc**
But he's different.
**[04:25] L'Arc**
He's willing to make a mess of things in this
world for the sake of his own personal greed.
**[04:31] Therese**
And in the end, this will bring misery
and destruction to our world, too.
**[04:39] Glass**
So he must be stopped.
**[04:42] Glass**
Our vassal weapons whisper this to us.
**[04:47] L'Arc**
You're after him, too?
**[04:49] L'Arc**
So why don't we call a truce
and join forces again?
**[04:55] Glass**
L'Arc! That's...
**[04:57] Naofumi**
I refuse.
**[04:59] Naofumi**
I'm not joining someone
I'll have to kill eventually.
**[05:04] Naofumi**
But if you're not going to start
a fight with us right now,
**[05:07] Naofumi**
then I don't care what you do.
**[05:10] Naofumi**
Go do whatever you want.
**[05:13] L'Arc**
Yeah, figures.
**[05:16] L'Arc**
We'll be on our way then.
**[05:19] L'Arc**
Bye, lad.
**[05:28] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[05:32] Naofumi**
This is for the best.
**[05:46] Haikazuya Officer**
Impossible...
**[05:49] Haikazuya Officer**
We paid such a high price for nothing!
**[05:52] Lowhirot Officer**
From the speed at which it's regenerating,
**[05:54] Lowhirot Officer**
there's not much time
before it's active again.
**[05:58] Mideus Officer**
What is the Shield Hero doing?
**[06:00] Mirelia**
The Hero and his party have entered
the Spirit Tortoise's body.
**[06:05] Mirelia**
They've gone to destroy the heart deep
within its body, and stop it forever.
**[06:12] Mirelia**
It's up to us to stop
its advance until then.
**[06:19] Mirelia**
I, Mirelia Q. Melromarc, shall lead the
charge to inspire the knights and men!
**[06:28] Eclair**
Your Majesty...
**[06:34] Haikazuya Officer**
We will be right behind you.
**[06:37] Mirelia**
Then let us go.
**[06:44] Raphtalia**
It's hard to believe that somebody from L'Arc's
world is the one controlling the Spirit Tortoise.
**[06:49] Naofumi**
We don't know that for sure.
**[06:51] Raphtalia**
But...
**[06:56] Naofumi**
What I'm thinking about is...
**[06:58] Naofumi**
Why was Glass dressed like that?
**[07:02] Raphtalia**
I don't know.
**[07:09] Naofumi**
Ost...
**[07:17] Ost**
This way.
**[07:18] Rishia**
She's started to remember a lot.
**[07:21] Raphtalia**
I guess that just means we're close.
**[07:25] Filo**
Which way do you think
the scythe people went?
**[07:36] Therese**
L'Arc, is this really the way?
**[07:39] L'Arc**
Yeah, look at all these familiars!
**[07:41] L'Arc**
He has to be close!
**[07:43] Glass**
That tells us nothing!
**[08:04] Naofumi**
This is... a dragon hourglass!
**[08:08] Filo**
It's blue!
**[08:10] Raphtalia**
The sand's all in the bottom part.
**[08:12] Raphtalia**
Does it have nothing to do with the Waves?
**[08:18] Naofumi**
What does this icon mean?
**[08:22] Ost**
It shows the number of souls
taken by the Spirit Tortoise.
**[08:26] Ost**
When it's full,
**[08:28] Ost**
it was supposed to create a barrier
to protect the world from the Waves.
**[08:33] Naofumi**
So this isn't the heart, then.
**[08:36] Ost**
Yes.
**[08:37] Ost**
It's to show how many souls
**[08:39] Ost**
have been gathered and transformed
into the Spirit Tortoise's power.
**[08:44] Ost**
The knowledge just came to me, clearly.
**[08:50] Naofumi**
Let's hurry!
**[08:56] L'Arc**
This is the turtle monster's heart, huh?
**[08:59] Glass**
Let's destroy it.
**[09:01] Therese**
But then what happens to the Guardian Beast?
**[09:04] Glass**
We don't have a choice.
**[09:06] Glass**
The most we can do is release
the Tortoise from his grasp.
**[09:11] Therese**
I understand.
**[09:18] Filo**
This is disgusting!
**[09:20] Filo**
What is this place?
**[09:23] Rishia**
Are you okay?
**[09:26] Ost**
I don't understand anymore.
**[09:29] Ost**
My task was to steal souls and
use them to power the Spirit Tortoise.
**[09:36] Ost**
I thought this would save the world.
**[09:43] Ost**
But...
**[09:44] Ost**
What kind of world is worth protecting
**[09:47] Ost**
if it means stealing the lives and smiles
of those who fought alongside me?
**[09:55] Ost**
Aren't the souls of the people who smile
like they did what I really need to protect?
**[10:04] Rishia**
Don't try to carry all the burdens yourself!
**[10:06] Rishia**
We can all think together about what to do!
**[10:10] Rishia**
We're all comrades now!
**[10:14] Ost**
Comrades...
**[10:16] Rishia**
Yeah!
**[10:17] Rishia**
I'm sure Naofumi-san feels the same way!
**[10:20] Rishia**
He'd get mad if he heard me
saying that, wouldn't he?
**[10:25] Raphtalia**
Don't worry.
**[10:26] Raphtalia**
I guarantee you that's what he's thinking.
**[10:29] Raphtalia**
And...
**[10:31] Filo**
Me, too!
**[10:32] Raphtalia**
And us, too. We feel the same way.
**[10:36] Ost**
Everyone...
**[10:38] Raphtalia**
You, his familiar, care for
the people so deeply.
**[10:43] Raphtalia**
I'm sure the Spirit Tortoise does, too.
**[10:45] Raphtalia**
So let's find a way to avoid defeating it...
**[10:48] Naofumi**
Hey! I found an exit!
**[10:53] Rishia**
Its mouth, perhaps?
**[10:56] Filo**
Is it gonna barf us up?
**[10:58] Naofumi**
I'd like to believe its
head hasn't regrown yet.
**[11:01] Naofumi**
What do we do? Turn back?
**[11:04] Ost**
No.
**[11:18] Ost**
This path leads to the heart.
**[11:21] Naofumi**
Let's hurry.
**[11:27] Naofumi**
This is the Spirit Tortoise's heart?
**[11:38] Kyo**
I didn't expect you to
come all the way here.
**[11:49] Kyo**
I mean, the idea had occurred
to me, but I'm still amazed.
**[11:59] Kyo**
I guess I should introduce myself.
**[12:01] Kyo**
My name is Kyo Ethnina,
**[12:05] Kyo**
and I am the wielder of the Book vassal weapon.
**[12:09] Naofumi**
The Book vassal weapon?
**[12:25] Kyo**
You're not even going to say hello? Losers.
**[12:29] Naofumi**
That's not his real body?
**[12:30] Kyo**
You're the Shield Hero?
**[12:33] Kyo**
You brought a whole crowd with you, huh?
**[12:35] Kyo**
Is that supposed to be your harem?
**[12:38] Naofumi**
If you're going to try and provoke me,
**[12:39] Naofumi**
come out from your safe hiding spot first.
**[12:48] Kyo**
I guess that's why the Shield
Hero's so famous in this world.
**[12:52] Kyo**
You've got pretty high provoke resistance,
**[12:54] Kyo**
unlike the three moron heroes.
**[12:57] Naofumi**
Provoke resistance?
**[13:02] Naofumi**
Do you know something
about the three heroes?
**[13:05] Kyo**
Do you think I'd tell you if I did?
**[13:08] Kyo**
Stop asking other people for help
and find out for yourself, moron.
**[13:14] Kyo**
Oh, but I can tell you about them!
**[13:16] Kyo**
Those muscle-brained idiots who came all
the way from another world to defeat me!
**[13:23] Naofumi**
You mean L'Arc's party?
**[13:25] Kyo**
That's right.
**[13:26] Kyo**
They're going around destroying
the Spirit Tortoise's hearts.
**[13:31] Kyo**
Fake hearts that keep multiplying
the more they're destroyed!
**[13:39] L'Arc**
Damn it!
**[13:39] L'Arc**
How many hearts does this thing have?
**[13:44] Therese**
No, L'Arc, these are...
**[13:50] Glass**
It looks like we fell for his trap.
**[13:52] L'Arc**
What?
**[13:55] Kyo**
They really are a bunch of
dumbasses, aren't they?
**[13:58] Naofumi**
Talking to you reminds me of being back home.
**[14:02] Kyo**
Yeah?
**[14:03] Kyo**
Not like I care.
**[14:05] Kyo**
Can you tell me what you want? I'm a busy guy.
**[14:09] Naofumi**
Looks like I don't even need
to ask if you're behind this.
**[14:17] Naofumi**
I'll make this quick.
**[14:19] Naofumi**
Release your control of the Spirit Tortoise
and give back the souls you stole.
**[14:24] Kyo**
Is that an order? A request?
**[14:26] Kyo**
Whichever it is, you moron, you know
I'm not going to say, "Sure, got it," right?
**[14:32] Naofumi**
I could not care less what you're planning.
**[14:35] Naofumi**
But do it in your own world.
**[14:38] Kyo**
Are you stupid?
**[14:40] Kyo**
I'm doing it in this shithole of a world 'cause
it would be too much work to do it there!
**[14:44] Filo**
I don't like this person!
**[14:46] Raphtalia**
I agree, Filo. I don't like him either.
**[14:49] Ost**
If you think that makes sense,
**[14:52] Ost**
then you should expect the people
of this world to resist you.
**[14:56] Kyo**
You don't shut up, do you?
**[15:03] Ost**
This world's fate will be decided by the
Four Heroes who were summoned here.
**[15:09] Ost**
And that's why you're
going to give them back.
**[15:12] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise, and the souls you stole.
**[15:15] Ost**
This is my will, and the will
of the Spirit Tortoise itself.
**[15:21] Kyo**
Oh, okay! I get it.
**[15:25] Kyo**
You were the easiest to
understand of them all.
**[15:33] Kyo**
Okay, good luck, then.
**[15:40] Ost**
No!
**[15:45] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[15:54] Ost**
What was that?
**[15:55] Ost**
The heart's self-defense system activated!
**[16:00] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[16:07] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[16:16] Filo**
Ost-oneechan!
**[16:18] Ost**
Don't worry about me!
**[16:19] Ost**
Keep attacking!
**[16:22] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[16:45] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[16:46] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[17:28] Ost**
This is...
**[17:48] Ost**
So that's it.
**[18:03] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[18:05] Rishia**
Ost-san! Wake up!
**[18:08] Rishia**
No... Ost-san!
**[18:11] Rishia**
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye!
**[18:20] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[18:22] Ost**
I'm fine, Rishia-san!
**[18:24] Ost**
Raphtalia-san, too.
**[18:26] Ost**
No, it would be better if it wasn't okay.
**[18:30] Naofumi**
Ost, if you're alive...
**[18:35] Ost**
Yes.
**[18:36] Ost**
Even with its head cut off and its heart
destroyed, the Spirit Tortoise remains alive.
**[18:43] Ost**
But...
**[18:47] Filo**
It's beautiful!
**[18:49] Filo**
I remembered everything.
**[18:52] Filo**
About the Spirit Tortoise. And myself.
**[18:59] Ost**
I, Ost Hourai, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[19:02] Ost**
Sever the laws of reality, bind them together,
and make them spit out the pus within.
**[19:07] Ost**
I command myself to reveal the
path to my deepest depths!
**[19:15] Raphtalia**
Ost-san!
**[19:16] Raphtalia**
That spell...
**[19:19] Ost**
Hurry! The Spirit Tortoise
is about to revive!
**[19:53] L'Arc**
What?
**[19:54] Glass**
What is this?
**[20:00] Elrasla**
The Spirit Tortoise!
**[20:36] Kyo**
What a pain in the ass.
**[20:38] Kyo**
I was hoping you wouldn't show up.
**[20:40] Kyo**
Well, welcome to the Spirit Tortoise's
deepest depths, I guess!
**[20:47] Kyo**
I'm seriously shocked you actually
came all this way, though. Seriously.
**[20:54] Kyo**
You were kind of freaking me out back there.
**[20:58] Raphtalia**
What is he saying?
**[21:00] Kyo**
Your tiny brain still hasn't figured it out?
**[21:03] Kyo**
Looks like the Shield Hero and
the green-haired girl have.
**[21:12] Filo**
What is it, Master?
**[21:17] Kyo**
I guess you'd have to be a total moron not
to figure it out after all that's happened.
**[21:21] Kyo**
But if you're that dumb,
**[21:22] Kyo**
you probably couldn't have done anything
even if you had figured it out!
**[21:28] Raphtalia**
No...
**[21:29] Kyo**
Yeah. If you had just killed her,
**[21:32] Kyo**
you wouldn't have needed
to come all the way here,
**[21:35] Kyo**
or let those weak-ass soldiers die!
**[21:39] Kyo**
That's not the Spirit Tortoise's familiar.
**[21:42] Kyo**
It's connected to the
Spirit Tortoise's core.
**[21:44] Kyo**
You could say it's the
Spirit Tortoise itself!

**[00:00] Raphtalia**
Ost-san isn't the Spirit Tortoise's familiar?
**[00:04] Raphtalia**
She's the Spirit Tortoise itself?
**[00:07] Kyo**
Think about it.
**[00:10] Kyo**
If she was a familiar, she'd be under
my control, just like the bats and yetis.
**[00:17] Kyo**
I'm surprised that the Guardian Beast
in this world had that power.
**[00:22] Kyo**
But whatever.
**[00:27] Kyo**
Time to finish this up.
**[00:30] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise's head and
heart have been regenerated!
**[00:43] Mirelia**
It's time.
**[00:46] Eclair**
It was an honor to serve
under you, Your Majesty.
**[00:55] Naofumi**
A barrier?
**[00:58] Ost**
To break it, you'll need to destroy its
head and heart again, this time at once.
**[01:05] Naofumi**
It's taken so many souls it
can regenerate this fast?
**[01:09] Kyo**
That's what you'd think, right?
**[01:13] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama?
**[01:15] Kyo**
These guys were weak as shit, but their
Cardinal Weapons were the real thing!
**[01:20] Kyo**
I used them as a backup power source,
so now they're actually useful for once!
**[01:24] Kyo**
I'm going to drain them
till they're dead and dry!
**[01:30] Rishia**
How awful...
**[01:31] Kyo**
So, I'll be getting back to my hunt.
**[01:35] Kyo**
As a reward for making it this far, I'll give
you front row seats as I squash them flat!
**[01:51] Eclair**
That's...

**[02:34] Naofumi**
Fitoria? What's she doing here?
**[02:37] Filo**
Um... uh...
**[02:40] Filo**
"I'm sorry I'm late.
**[02:42] Filo**
Now that all this has happened..."
**[02:44] Fitoria**
I will aid the Shield Hero.
**[02:55] Fitoria**
I will take the head of the
Guardian Beast, the Spirit Tortoise.
**[03:01] Filo**
Match my timing and destroy its heart!
**[03:04] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise must have realized that
I can no longer fulfill my original function.
**[03:10] Naofumi**
I see.
**[03:11] Kyo**
Okay, okay. The Filolial Queen, huh?
**[03:14] Kyo**
I just have to keep you from
getting to the heart, I guess.
**[03:22] L'arc**
Hey, where's the real heart?
**[03:25] L'arc**
Huh? Lad?
**[03:27] Naofumi**
L'Arc!
**[03:29] Kyo**
How many walls did you have
to smash to get here?
**[03:33] Kyo**
That's the problem with you meatheads.
**[03:35] Glass**
I swear by my vassal weapon
that I will stop you.
**[03:41] Kyo**
You guys are gonna destroy
this world anyway.
**[03:45] L'arc**
Well, yes...
**[03:48] Kyo**
Then we should want to get as many
souls as we can first, right?
**[03:53] Kyo**
Is there a problem with that?
**[03:56] L'arc**
There's a big problem!
**[03:57] L'arc**
Our vassal weapons are telling us
not to do something so disgusting!
**[04:02] L'arc**
Can't you hear it, too?
**[04:04] Kyo**
I'm not a slave to my
vassal weapon, unlike you.
**[04:09] Kyo**
I just need to be able to
use it when I want to!
**[04:16] Kyo**
Composition Form One: Bird of Flame!
**[04:20] Naofumi**
Move!
**[04:31] Kyo**
Of course, I've got the same barrier
as the Spirit Tortoise's core.
**[04:37] Kyo**
It uses the power of the three heroic stooges.
**[04:50] Kyo**
And I need their power to make my
own personal giant monster movie, too.
**[04:56] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[05:00] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[05:03] Fitoria**
The same attack, again and again.
**[05:22] Fitoria**
Not bad!
**[05:30] Mirelia**
Sound the retreat.
**[05:32] Lowhirot Officer**
But...
**[05:33] Mirelia**
Fitoria-sama can't fight with her
full strength as long as we're here.
**[05:38] Fitoria**
Good.
**[05:39] Fitoria**
Get as far away as you can.
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[05:52] L'arc**
First Stance: Wind Blowout!
**[06:01] Filo**
She says we need to hurry
up and destroy the head
**[06:04] Filo**
and heart to remove the barrier from the core!
**[06:06] Naofumi**
I know!
**[06:07] Glass**
Is that right?
**[06:09] L'Arc**
Then this time, we'll destroy the real one!
**[06:13] Ost**
I'll open the path to the core...
**[06:15] Kyo**
You know I'm not letting that happen.
**[06:21] Kyo**
Yup. The Spirit Tortoise's favorite.
Gravity attacks.
**[06:25] Kyo**
And since I don't want you to think I'm
helpless without the three stooges' power,
**[06:30] Kyo**
let me show you something.
**[06:34] Kyo**
Pretty, huh?
**[06:36] Kyo**
This is the power of the souls I used
the Spirit Tortoise to gather up!
**[06:43] Kyo**
Scary!
**[06:45] Kyo**
Don't get so mad. See?
**[06:51] Kyo**
Once I've killed these guys and taken
all the souls I can from this world,
**[06:55] Kyo**
I'll leave you alone!
**[06:58] Ost**
Stop it...
**[06:59] Ost**
Stop!
**[07:02] Kyo**
Nope! Not gonna stop!
**[07:06] Kyo**
Come on, where'd all that
strength you had go?
**[07:10] Kyo**
All your pretty little friends
are about to get squashed flat!
**[07:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[07:23] Kyo**
But that'd be a waste, wouldn't it?
**[07:26] Kyo**
I'll leave you to enjoy your
new life as a pancake,
**[07:29] Kyo**
and take them back to my world!
**[07:31] Naofumi**
Screw you...
**[07:33] Raphtalia**
Stop it...
**[07:35] Raphtalia**
Get your foot off Naofumi-sama!
**[07:40] Kyo**
She's crying!
**[07:42] Kyo**
The demi-human's crying! So cute!
**[07:45] Kyo**
If only you'd killed the Spirit Tortoise's
avatar, this wouldn't have happened!
**[07:51] Kyo**
Man, this Shield Hero
sure is a useless loser!
**[07:55] Filo**
No! Stop!
**[07:57] Kyo**
Quit your squealing, bitch!
**[07:59] Kyo**
So this dumbass is really
that important to you?
**[08:02] Kyo**
Shut up so I can kill him quick!
**[08:05] Rishia**
Stop it!
**[08:13] Rishia**
You... coward!
**[08:22] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san?
**[08:24] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan...
**[08:26] Kyo**
Who the hell are you?
**[08:28] Kyo**
A moment ago you were just
whimpering in the background.
**[08:32] Kyo**
Wuss!
**[08:34] Rishia**
That's right.
**[08:35] Rishia**
I'm a wuss. I can't do anything.
**[08:39] Rishia**
So...
**[08:40] Rishia**
I understand.
**[08:42] Kyo**
Understand what?
**[08:44] Kyo**
And wait, how can you walk?
**[08:46] Rishia**
You're the same as me.
**[08:50] Rishia**
You're relying on the power of others.
**[08:54] Rishia**
You're not an amazing person at all!
**[08:57] Kyo**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[08:59] Kyo**
You wouldn't know just how awesome I am!
**[09:16] Rishia**
I know.
**[09:17] Rishia**
I know that you're actually weak.
**[09:20] Rishia**
That's why you pretend to be strong.
**[09:23] Rishia**
You try to intimidate your enemies,
like a little animal puffing out its fur!
**[09:33] Naofumi**
Rishia...
**[09:36] Kyo**
What? You're all talk, huh?
**[09:44] Kyo**
Damn you!
**[09:52] Kyo**
Where did you go?
**[09:54] Rishia**
I'm weak, too.
**[09:57] Rishia**
My body, my heart...
**[09:58] Rishia**
Especially compared to Naofumi-san,
Raphtalia-san, Filo-chan, and Ost-san.
**[10:05] Rishia**
But I'll never lose to somebody like you.
**[10:09] Kyo**
Shut up...
**[10:10] Naofumi**
Rishia... How is she...
**[10:13] Ost**
Shield Hero...
**[10:19] Ost**
I, the Spirit Tortoise, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[10:23] Ost**
Sever the laws of reality, bind them together,
and make them spit out the pus within.
**[10:27] Ost**
My power...
**[10:29] Ost**
I give you the power of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[10:34] Naofumi**
I, the Shield Hero, take upon myself
the power of the Spirit Tortoise,
**[10:38] Naofumi**
and give my orders to the
heavens and the earth.
**[10:40] Naofumi**
Sever the laws of reality, bind them together,
and make them spit out the pus within.
**[10:43] Naofumi**
Power of the ley lines, manifest my
magic and the power of the hero.
**[10:48] Naofumi**
As the source of thy power,
the Shield Hero, I order thee.
**[10:52] Naofumi**
Unravel the mysteries of all things...
**[10:55] Kyo**
Where are you!?
**[10:56] Naofumi**
...and give them everything!
**[10:59] Naofumi**
All Liberation Aura!
**[11:08] Kyo**
This world's most powerful magic?!
**[11:25] Ost**
Now!
**[11:27] L'Arc**
Thanks!
**[11:29] Naofumi**
Filo, go with them!
**[11:31] Filo**
Roger!
**[11:36] Kyo**
You little...
**[11:37] Kyo**
I won't let you!
**[11:38] Rishia**
Your opponent...
**[11:42] Rishia**
is me!
**[11:46] Kyo**
I'm getting real sick of you!
**[11:49] L'Arc**
What are you doing here, Little Miss Filo?
**[11:52] Filo**
I can talk with Fitoria!
**[11:55] Therese**
Fitoria... the Filolial Queen?
**[11:58] Glass**
Makes sense.
**[12:01] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, are you okay?
**[12:03] Naofumi**
I guess.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
But her...
**[12:07] Naofumi**
We were only barely able
to move with Ost's help.
**[12:11] Naofumi**
So how...?
**[12:12] Naofumi**
She was the only one of us who could
handle that supergravity attack.
**[12:16] Naofumi**
Is that what the old lady
meant by manipulating ki?
**[12:23] Kyo**
You...
**[12:25] Rishia**
I told you.
**[12:27] Rishia**
You rely too much on your power.
**[12:29] Rishia**
Your attacks are simplistic,
**[12:32] Rishia**
so even I can dodge them.
**[12:34] Kyo**
Simplistic, huh?
**[12:37] Kyo**
Thanks for the advice.
**[12:39] Kyo**
I'll use those simplistic
attacks to kill you, then!
**[12:42] Kyo**
Composition of Flame!
**[13:03] Kyo**
What?
**[13:04] Rishia**
And you're a trickster.
**[13:07] Rishia**
You have a twisted mind, and love
to lie and deceive people.
**[13:16] Kyo**
I shouldn't have tried to
fight you like a moron!
**[13:18] Kyo**
I should've done this from the start!
**[13:20] Rishia**
You're an idiot to try and
take hostages at this point.
**[13:33] Rishia**
I don't want to forgive you, but if
you surrender now, I won't kill you.
**[13:40] Kyo**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[13:43] Kyo**
I'd rather kill you and then die!
**[13:54] Naofumi**
Rishia hasn't just learned to use ki.
**[13:58] Raphtalia**
She's like a totally different person.
**[14:00] Ost**
Shield Hero...
**[14:02] Ost**
I ask you again.
**[14:05] Ost**
Please, kill me.
**[14:09] Naofumi**
But...
**[14:10] Ost**
Rishia-san is right.
**[14:12] Ost**
Kyo Ethnina is a liar to the end.
**[14:17] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[14:23] L'Arc**
The real heart is this tough?
**[14:26] Therese**
L'Arc, stop complaining and destroy it!
**[14:29] Filo**
Fitoria says to hurry up, too!
**[14:31] L'Arc**
I know!
**[14:35] Fitoria**
He's using the souls he stole?
**[14:38] Fitoria**
Even if I dodge it, it will
destroy the entire city.
**[14:52] Fitoria**
Multi-caster ritual magic?
**[15:03] Filo**
Fan lady!
**[15:05] Glass**
What's this?
**[15:06] Filo**
Master gave it to me!
**[15:09] L'Arc**
Nice work, lad.
**[15:14] Glass**
Let's go, Therese.
**[15:16] Therese**
Right!
**[15:18] Therese**
I beseech thee,
power of jewels far and wide...
**[15:20] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo...
**[15:31] Mirelia**
It's not working after all?
**[15:32] Fitoria**
No.
**[15:33] Fitoria**
Well done!
**[15:58] Filo**
Now!
**[15:59] Therese**
Bejeweled Blizzard!
**[16:01] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse Four Seasons!
**[16:15] Rishia**
The barrier!
**[16:19] Kyo**
Damn it all!
**[16:25] Kyo**
Just kidding.
**[16:29] Kyo**
Did you really think I hadn't put
together a plan just in case?
**[16:33] Rishia**
No...
**[16:37] Kyo**
It's an emergency measure that uses the
souls' power to defend the core, but oh well.
**[16:42] Kyo**
As long as I can see your faces twisting
with despair, that's enough for...
**[16:48] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[16:51] (Flashback) Ost**
Kyo Ethnina is a liar to the end.
**[16:54] (Flashback) Ost**
I think he still has a plan.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Ost**
I am one with the core.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Ost**
When that happens, use all your
power to destroy me completely!
**[17:11] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, when I can't
move anymore, it's up to you.
**[17:16] Raphtalia**
Okay.
**[17:19] Naofumi**
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
**[17:24] Kyo**
Hey, hey, hey! Stop it, you moron!
**[17:26] Naofumi**
Within the dragon's jaws
born from my flesh...
**[17:30] Kyo**
No!
**[17:31] Naofumi**
...become an offering to the
gods as you howl.
**[17:41] Naofumi**
I don't... have any hatred to unleash on you.
**[17:54] Kyo**
What the hell?
**[17:56] Kyo**
All that build-up and you just stopped?
**[17:59] Kyo**
You're letting all the work Mr. Scythe
and the big bird did go to waste?
**[18:03] Kyo**
Seriously? You're kidding me!
**[18:11] Ost**
That's fine.
**[18:13] Ost**
Shield Hero, it's fine.
**[18:16] Ost**
Now, the time has come for the power
I left within the shield to take form.
***SIGN*** The Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield has been force-unlocked.
**[18:28] Naofumi**
The Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield?
**[18:45] Naofumi**
Ost, what did you do?
**[18:49] Naofumi**
No...
**[18:52] Naofumi**
Stop!
**[18:53] Kyo**
Don't!
**[18:54] Naofumi**
*Stop*!
**[19:29] Raphtalia**
Ost-san!
**[19:38] Filo**
Ost-oneechan!
**[19:43] Kyo**
Now you've done it!
**[19:45] Kyo**
It's all ruined! All my hard work!
**[19:50] Naofumi**
You...
**[19:52] Kyo**
That's a lie. I succeeded in
my real goal, so whatever.
**[19:57] L'Arc**
What are you talking about?
**[19:59] Kyo**
Did you think that once
you destroyed the core,
**[20:01] Kyo**
the souls inside would spread out across
the world and head up to heaven?
**[20:05] Kyo**
Too bad!
**[20:06] Kyo**
I kept the bare minimum here,
just so that wouldn't happen!
**[20:13] Kyo**
All right, I'll be going!
**[20:21] Glass**
That's...
**[20:22] Kyo**
Shield Hero!
**[20:24] Kyo**
And green-hair.
**[20:26] Kyo**
I'm going to kill you.
**[20:29] Kyo**
Have fun until then.
**[20:32] L'Arc**
Wait!
**[20:35] L'Arc**
Damn it!
**[20:37] Naofumi**
Ost... Why?
**[20:41] Ost**
You weren't swallowed up by rage and sorrow.
**[20:44] Ost**
That's why the Spirit Tortoise's
Heart Shield was unlocked.
**[20:48] Naofumi**
I don't understand. Explain.
**[20:51] Ost**
You don't need to use that terrifying
shield stained with hatred anymore.
**[20:57] Naofumi**
The Wrath Shield...
**[21:00] Ost**
I have taken many lives,
and you're still sad at my passing.
**[21:06] Ost**
Kind, gentle Shield Hero...
**[21:08] Ost**
Please, don't forget what you feel now.
**[21:11] Naofumi**
No... No, I'm not kind!
**[21:14] L'Arc**
Lad!
**[21:16] Therese**
It looks like this is
connected to our world,
**[21:20] Therese**
but it's about to close.
**[21:22] Glass**
The rest is our job now.
**[21:25] Glass**
We will defeat Kyo and bring
the souls back to this world.
**[21:29] L'Arc**
Yeah. Leave the rest to us.
**[21:32] L'Arc**
Bye!
***SIGN*** Forbidden Action
The Four Cardinal Heroes cannot invade another world.
**[21:46] Naofumi**
What the hell?
**[21:48] Ost**
Go!
***SIGN*** Special Permission
Invasion of another world by the Four Heroes is now allowed under certain conditions.
**[21:56] Ost**
You need to hurry, or it will close!
**[21:59] Raphtalia**
Ost-san!
**[21:59] Filo**
Ost-oneechan!
**[22:01] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[22:03] Naofumi**
What are you doing?
**[22:04] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[22:07] Naofumi**
Our comrade's asking us to!
**[22:09] Naofumi**
We can't let L'Arc and
his friends handle this!
**[22:19] Naofumi**
Rishia, you stay with Itsuki...
**[22:21] Rishia**
No!
**[22:23] Rishia**
I'm your comrade! And Ost-san's!
**[22:27] Rishia**
I'm going, too!
**[22:35] Ost**
*Comrade...*
**[22:37] Ost**
*Comrade, huh?*
**[22:40] Ost**
* If I'm ever reborn... this time,*
* I want to truly be their comrade.*
**[22:46] Ost**
*I pray...*
**[22:48] Ost**
*that there be joy...*
**[22:53] Ost**
*at the end of the Shield Hero's path.*

**[00:19] Rishia**
...san!
**[00:21] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[00:22] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[00:26] Naofumi**
Rishia?
**[00:28] Rishia**
I'm so glad you're awake!
**[00:30] Rishia**
I kept calling your name,
and you wouldn't get up!
**[00:33] Naofumi**
Where are we?
**[00:38] Rishia**
When I woke up, you were
the only one with me.
**[00:42] Naofumi**
Where are Raphtalia and Filo?
**[00:44] Rishia**
It looks like it's just us.
**[00:46] Naofumi**
I see.
**[00:49] Naofumi**
What is this shield?
**[00:51] Rishia**
It looked like that when I woke up.
**[00:54] Naofumi**
I've never seen it before.
**[00:56] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[00:58] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[01:00] Naofumi**
My level's dropped back to 1.
***SIGN*** Transformation Requirements Not Met
**[01:09] Naofumi**
So has yours, Rishia.
**[01:15] Naofumi**
You can make weird screams if you want.
**[01:21] Naofumi**
So is this all Kyo's doing?
**[01:23] Naofumi**
Raphtalia and Filo not being here...
Our levels resetting...
**[01:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[01:31] Raphtalia**
I'm so glad you're safe! And Rishia-san, too!
**[01:35] Raphtalia**
Where's Filo? I can't see her anywhere.
**[01:38] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, your...
**[01:43] Naofumi**
Your body!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[03:24] Naofumi**
It's open?
**[03:26] Naofumi**
We weren't locked in?
***SIGN*** Episode 7 Infinite Labyrinth
**[03:28] Rishia**
I don't see any guards either.
**[03:30] Rishia**
And we still have our weapons.
**[03:38] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, that's too heavy for you.
**[03:40] Raphtalia**
B-But it's my only weapon.
**[03:56] Raphtalia**
What?
**[03:57] Naofumi**
I was just remembering when we met.
**[04:00] Raphtalia**
I m-may be back to Level 1,
and I may be smaller,
**[04:05] Raphtalia**
but I'm still your sword!
**[04:08] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[04:10] Naofumi**
It's totally different than it was then.
**[04:20] Rishia**
Naofumi-san! Raphtalia-san!
**[04:24] Rishia**
Looks like somebody lives here.
**[04:27] Raphtalia**
There's even a stove.
**[04:29] Naofumi**
Does this belong to the
person who brought us here?
**[04:31] Rishia**
Maybe, but why live in a prison?
**[04:38] Raphtalia**
Does that lead outside?
**[04:40] Rishia**
Something looks very wrong.
**[04:42] Naofumi**
But we have to go.
**[04:48] Rishia**
W-Wait!
**[05:14] Naofumi**
This place is strange.
**[05:16] Raphtalia**
Strange?
**[05:18] Naofumi**
There are waves,
**[05:22] Naofumi**
but no wind.
**[05:26] Raphtalia**
And the coast is strange, too!
**[05:28] Raphtalia**
It's like there's nothing
out beyond the horizon!
**[05:34] Naofumi**
So it's suicide to go out into the water.
***SIGN*** Monster Crest out of Detection Range
**[05:50] Naofumi**
It doesn't look like Filo's
anywhere around here.
**[05:53] Naofumi**
She may not be stuck in
this weird space with us.
**[05:57] Raphtalia**
Filo...
**[05:59] Rishia**
S-She'll be just fine!
**[06:01] Rishia**
Knowing her, she's probably
having a lot of fun somewhere!
**[06:05] Raphtalia**
Do you think so?
**[06:07] Raphtalia**
What if we don't find her?
**[06:09] Raphtalia**
She's never been in a situation like that...
**[06:14] Naofumi**
We need to get out of here and find her.
**[06:18] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[06:25] Naofumi**
Cardboard?
**[06:32] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[06:34] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[06:44] Raphtalia**
A-Are you okay?
**[06:46] Naofumi**
Yeah, I'm not hurt at all.
***SIGN*** New Shield Unlocked
**[06:54] Naofumi**
White Cardboard?
**[06:56] Naofumi**
I've never seen this one before.
**[06:58] Naofumi**
Is it like an Orange Balloon?
**[07:03] Naofumi**
Looks like we get XP, too.
**[07:05] Naofumi**
We should raise our levels a bit.
**[07:08] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[07:09] Naofumi**
You too, Rishia.
**[07:11] Rishia**
O-Okay!
***SIGN*** Big-Face Rabbit
**[07:45] Rishia**
I feel so much more alive!
**[07:47] Raphtalia**
We're lucky the water's drinkable, huh?
**[07:50] Naofumi**
There's no point in fighting so
many low-level enemies.
**[07:53] Rishia**
Drinking that water made me hungry!
**[07:56] Raphtalia**
I'm actually pretty hungry, too.
**[08:07] Rishia**
A kappa?
**[08:09] Rishia**
Wait, Raphtalia!
**[08:23] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[08:24] Naofumi**
Run! You can't fight him at your level!
**[08:43] Raphtalia**
Let go of Naofumi-sama!
**[08:47] Raphtalia**
Take this! Take this!
**[08:54] Naofumi**
Wait!
**[08:57] Kizuna**
Slaughter Wire!
**[09:07] Kizuna**
You okay?
**[09:11] Kizuna**
I take my eyes off you for
a second, and look how far you get.
**[09:14] Kizuna**
You could've died, you know.
**[09:16] Naofumi**
Who are you?
**[09:20] Kizuna**
Kizuna. Kazayama Kizuna.
**[09:24] Kizuna**
One of the Four Cardinal Heroes.
The Hunting Hero.
**[09:30] Naofumi**
Four Cardinal Heroes? Hunting Hero?
**[09:36] Kizuna**
I gave you my name. Give me yours.
**[09:40] Naofumi**
Iwatani Naofumi. One of the Four
Cardinal Heroes. The Shield Hero.
**[09:45] Kizuna**
You're a Cardinal Hero, too?
**[09:47] Kizuna**
I've never heard of a Shield Hero.
**[09:50] Naofumi**
And I've never heard of a Hunting Hero.
**[09:54] Kizuna**
And that name... Are you Japanese?
**[09:59] Naofumi**
You are too, right?
**[10:02] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[10:03] Naofumi**
You took a lot of damage,
considering your heavy armor.
**[10:06] Naofumi**
It looks kind it's bugging out, actually.
***SIGN*** Barbarian Armor
**[10:11] Naofumi**
My defense values are bugging out, too.
**[10:14] Naofumi**
Is it because my level's not
high enough to use this item?
**[10:18] Kizuna**
I guess we need to treat your wounds
before we talk about anything else.
**[10:27] Kizuna**
I see. So you're a Cardinal Hero
in another world, Naofumi?
**[10:32] Kizuna**
Oh, is it okay if I call you Naofumi?
**[10:34] Naofumi**
Call me what you like. I'll do the same.
**[10:40] Kizuna**
Um, Raphtalia-chan and Rishia-san, right?
**[10:44] Kizuna**
You're lucky, Naofumi, to have
comrades who care about you so much.
**[10:49] Naofumi**
Are you all alone?
**[10:51] Kizuna**
I have some, too.
**[10:53] Kizuna**
But I haven't seen them for years.
Ever since I got locked up in here.
**[10:58] Naofumi**
Locked up?
**[10:59] Kizuna**
Oh, I kinda screwed up and got
captured by an enemy country.
**[11:04] Naofumi**
Why would you capture a Cardinal Hero?
**[11:07] Naofumi**
How would you deal with the Waves?
**[11:09] Kizuna**
Waves? What are those?
**[11:12] Naofumi**
You don't know what the Waves are?
**[11:13] Naofumi**
We Cardinal Heroes are
summoned to fight them!
**[11:18] Kizuna**
Looks like you and I were
summoned for different reasons.
**[11:23] Naofumi**
L'Arc and Glass knew all
about them, at least.
**[11:28] Kizuna**
What did you say?
**[11:31] Naofumi**
L'Arc and Glass?
**[11:33] Naofumi**
I think they're from another world, like yours.
**[11:36] Kizuna**
You know L'Arc-niisan? And Glass, too?
**[11:39] Kizuna**
She's my best friend!
**[11:42] Raphtalia**
Best friend?
**[11:43] Rishia**
That scary woman with the
fans is your best friend?
**[11:48] Kizuna**
That's right!
**[11:49] Naofumi**
You're best friends with that monster?
**[11:52] Naofumi**
How old are you?
**[11:53] Kizuna**
Monster? And I'm 18.
**[12:02] Naofumi**
Are you a loli h—
**[12:04] Naofumi**
No...
**[12:05] Kizuna**
You were just about to say "loli hag"!
**[12:08] Naofumi**
So you do know what it means.
**[12:10] Kizuna**
Of course I do!
**[12:12] Rishia**
Loli?
**[12:13] Raphtalia**
Hag?
**[12:18] Kizuna**
Sorry. You're hungry, right?
**[12:20] Kizuna**
Let's eat.
**[12:21] Naofumi**
Wait.
**[12:22] Naofumi**
Why would I want to eat with some
untrustworthy girl I just met?
**[12:26] Kizuna**
Why wouldn't you?
**[12:28] Kizuna**
I did save your lives.
**[12:30] Kizuna**
And we're both Cardinal Heroes.
**[12:32] Naofumi**
You're even more untrustworthy now that
I'm hearing you're friends with Glass.
**[12:36] Naofumi**
You could turn on us at any moment.
**[12:38] Kizuna**
Naofumi, what did those guys ever do to you?
**[12:45] Kizuna**
Fine...
**[12:48] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[13:02] Kizuna**
My Cardinal Weapon can
attack people, but can't hurt them.
**[13:12] Kizuna**
You understand now, right?
**[13:14] Kizuna**
I can't hurt you.
**[13:21] Kizuna**
So let's eat!
**[13:27] Kizuna**
I brought us plenty to chow down on.
**[13:29] Kizuna**
And I can cut them up with this!
**[13:31] Naofumi**
No, I'll do it.
**[13:34] Kizuna**
I'm not going to poison it.
**[13:36] Naofumi**
It's a question of who's the better chef.
**[13:43] Kizuna**
Wow, this looks great!
**[13:46] Kizuna**
Maybe I was right to let you do the cooking!
**[13:52] Naofumi**
Let's eat, then.
**[13:54] Kizuna**
Let's eat!
**[14:11] Kizuna**
That was great.
**[14:12] Rishia**
Thank you for the meal.
**[14:14] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, don't tell me
you haven't eaten enough!
**[14:19] Raphtalia**
N-No! Definitely not!
**[14:22] Naofumi**
You used to eat all the time
when we first met, too.
**[14:26] Raphtalia**
D-Demihumans grow fast when they
level up, and it makes us really hungry.
**[14:31] Naofumi**
So you are hungry.
**[14:35] Kizuna**
You're in your growing years, Raphtalia-chan.
**[14:37] Naofumi**
Hang on. I'll make some more for you.
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
Thank you...
**[14:42] Kizuna**
I'm glad you came! Now I'll have
lots of good things to eat!
**[14:49] Naofumi**
We're leaving.
**[14:52] Kizuna**
You can't.
**[14:54] Naofumi**
What?
**[14:55] Kizuna**
This is the Infinite Labyrinth.
A temporal prison.
**[14:58] Kizuna**
Once you're inside, you can never leave.
**[15:02] Raphtalia**
Never?
**[15:04] Naofumi**
How long have you been here?
**[15:07] Kizuna**
No idea.
**[15:08] Kizuna**
I used to count, for the first few years.
**[15:10] Kizuna**
But then I stopped.
**[15:15] Kizuna**
That doesn't mean I've given up, though.
**[15:18] Kizuna**
I've spent every day for
years looking for a way out.
**[15:24] Kizuna**
But I've never found one.
**[15:26] Naofumi**
Do you expect us to believe you
and just stay here forever?
**[15:31] Kizuna**
Nope.
**[15:33] Kizuna**
I'll show you around.
**[15:35] Kizuna**
But this place has night and day, too.
**[15:38] Kizuna**
It's late tonight. Let's go in the morning.
**[15:42] Kizuna**
Stay here.
**[15:43] Kizuna**
It doesn't look like much,
but the monsters can't get in here.
**[15:48] Raphtalia**
How long has Kizuna-san spent here alone?
**[15:53] Rishia**
I couldn't handle it.
**[15:56] Raphtalia**
Me neither.
**[15:58] Rishia**
If we can't leave either...
**[16:02] Naofumi**
We can't stay here.
**[16:05] Naofumi**
We need to find Filo and
get vengeance for Ost.
**[16:12] Kizuna**
It got to me pretty bad when they told
me I'd spend the rest of my life here.
**[16:17] Kizuna**
"I'm staying here all alone? Forever?"
**[16:20] Kizuna**
I was in a pretty bad mood.
**[16:22] Kizuna**
I've searched every square inch of the
island. Even tried to go out to sea.
**[16:26] Kizuna**
There was even a time when I thought
I'd just give up and kill myself.
**[16:32] Kizuna**
But I had all the time in the world,
**[16:36] Kizuna**
so I thought I'd keep fighting for as many
years as it took, until I found a way out.
**[16:43] Raphtalia**
You're very strong, Kizuna-san.
**[16:47] Kizuna**
You're so little, but you
sound like a grown-up!
**[16:51] Kizuna**
Well, I want to see Glass
and the others, too.
**[16:59] Kizuna**
After years of searching, I think
this is the most likely place.
**[17:06] Kizuna**
I've taken care of the
monsters here, but be careful.
**[17:10] Naofumi**
If you've done all that,
why can't you leave?
**[17:14] Kizuna**
That's what I've brought you here to see.
**[17:27] Kizuna**
This is it.
**[17:32] Naofumi**
What is this?
**[17:36] Kizuna**
It looks like the door that connects
the prison to the island, right?
**[17:41] Kizuna**
I think this is the far end
of the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[17:45] Kizuna**
There's nothing beyond it.
Just another dimension or something.
**[17:49] Naofumi**
Don't tell me you haven't gone
through 'cause you're too scared.
**[17:53] Kizuna**
Go ahead.
**[18:00] Naofumi**
What is this?
**[18:01] Kizuna**
See? You can't get in.
**[18:03] Kizuna**
This is why I'm stuck.
**[18:06] Raphtalia**
No...
**[18:08] Rishia**
Why?
**[18:09] Kizuna**
I'm sure this is the edge of the space.
**[18:12] Kizuna**
But it's not meant to be an entrance.
**[18:15] Naofumi**
The wall just happened to collapse,
**[18:17] Naofumi**
and reveal that they hadn't
made anything on other side?
**[18:21] Kizuna**
That's right.
**[18:23] Rishia**
What does that mean?
**[18:25] Raphtalia**
I don't really understand, but this
means there's no exit, right?
**[18:31] Naofumi**
It may not be an exit,
but it's a bug, at least.
***SIGN*** Forbidden Action
The Four Cardinal Heroes cannot travel to another world.
Exception Handling Failed
**[18:35] Rishia**
Bug?
**[18:36] Kizuna**
Yeah, that's right.
**[18:39] Naofumi**
Whether it's a 3D game or a 2D side-scroller,
**[18:41] Naofumi**
what do you do when you
find a bugged-out area?
**[18:46] Kizuna**
I'd try to do whatever I could to get in.
**[18:48] Raphtalia**
What are you talking about?
**[18:51] Naofumi**
We might be able to make this work.
**[18:56] Kizuna**
I made it like you said, but what is this?
**[19:01] Naofumi**
You saw the description, right?
It's a Bio Plant Seed.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
I can't do anything to modify
it at my current level.
**[19:09] Kizuna**
It was fun, like strengthening a shikigami!
**[19:12] Kizuna**
So, what do we do with it?
**[19:15] Naofumi**
This!
**[19:22] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, is this...
**[19:24] Naofumi**
We need to get out of here first, everybody!
**[19:36] Raphtalia**
The room's swelling up!
**[19:39] Kizuna**
Can you do that?
**[19:41] Naofumi**
This is the only way for us to
force our way into the bug.
**[19:49] Naofumi**
It's going to burst! Raphtalia, Rishia!
**[19:51] Raphtalia & Rishia**
Right!
**[20:11] Naofumi**
Kizuna!
**[20:13] Naofumi**
Come with us!
**[20:20] Naofumi**
Okay!
**[20:21] Raphtalia**
Kizuna-san!
**[20:22] Rishia**
Kizuna-san!
**[20:48] Naofumi**
It did a great job helping us, but it'll
cause a lot of problems if we let it live.
**[20:53] Raphtalia**
Thank you!
**[21:12] Kizuna**
I'm outside.
**[21:14] Naofumi**
Kizuna?
**[21:16] Kizuna**
I'm outside!
**[21:18] Kizuna**
The outside! I'm outside!
**[21:21] Kizuna**
I'm outside the Infinite
Labyrinth! I'm sure of it!
**[21:24] Kizuna**
This is the world I was summoned to!
**[21:30] Kizuna**
Thank you!
**[21:32] Kizuna**
Thank you, Naofumi!
**[21:34] Kizuna**
It's thanks to you!
**[21:36] Kizuna**
Thank you so much!
**[21:41] Naofumi**
You're too loud.
**[21:45] Kizuna**
I'm finally out!
**[21:47] Kizuna**
I'm finally...
**[21:48] Kizuna**
I'm not alone anymore, am I?
**[21:57] Kizuna**
Hooray!

**[00:07] Kizuna**
Come on!
**[00:08] Rishia**
Okay!
**[00:27] Raphtalia**
Thank you, Naofumi-sama.
**[00:29] Naofumi**
Don't worry about it.
**[00:30] Naofumi**
We need to get out of here before
somebody comes after us.
**[00:38] Kizuna**
So this is the countdown to the waves?
**[00:40] Kizuna**
It says 10 more days?
**[00:42] Naofumi**
There's no time.
**[00:44] Naofumi**
And we've finally made it
to the other world, too.
**[00:48] Naofumi**
Filo's nowhere close to us.
**[00:50] Naofumi**
We've got even more ground to cover, then.
**[00:54] Raphtalia**
Filo…
**[00:55] Kizuna**
Okay, why don't you start by heading to
Sikul, the country that summoned me?
**[01:00] Kizuna**
It's safer than this place.
**[01:02] Naofumi**
How far away is "Sikul"?
**[01:05] Kizuna**
A week on foot?
**[01:07] Raphtalia**
That far?
**[01:09] Kizuna**
And we'd have to go through
a bunch of checkpoints, too.
**[01:12] Kizuna**
And cross several borders.
**[01:14] Naofumi**
Then that's out of the question.
**[01:15] Naofumi**
Got any portal skills?
**[01:17] Kizuna**
I do. It's called "Return Codex."
**[01:20] Kizuna**
But I don't have the tool I need
for it, so I can't use it now.
**[01:24] Naofumi**
So what do we do, then?
**[01:25] Naofumi**
You didn't just suggest this
without a plan, right?
**[01:28] Kizuna**
Right!
**[01:29] Kizuna**
We'll head for the capital
of Mikakage, the country we're in now.
**[01:33] Naofumi**
The capital of the country
that locked you up?
**[01:37] Kizuna**
Hear me out!
**[01:39] Kizuna**
We can use the dragon hourglass
there to warp to Sikul.
**[01:43] Naofumi**
Dragon hourglass?
**[01:46] Kizuna**
Your world has them, too?
**[01:48] Naofumi**
Yes.
**[01:49] Naofumi**
You can't use them for warping, though.
**[01:51] Kizuna**
I see. There are some differences, then.
**[01:54] Kizuna**
We call it Return Dragon Vein,
**[01:56] Kizuna**
and the Cardinal Heroes and Vassal Weapon
Heroes are the only ones who can use it.
**[02:00] Naofumi**
I see.
**[02:01] Naofumi**
So we get to the hourglass and use your power
to warp us such that we can't be followed.
**[02:08] Kizuna**
Yup.
**[02:09] Raphtalia**
Um, how far to the capital?
**[02:11] Kizuna**
It's still two or three days away.
**[02:15] Naofumi**
We'll spend three days on the road,
**[02:17] Naofumi**
leveling and buying weapons,
and then go into the enemy's HQ.
**[02:21] Kizuna**
Oh, there are checkpoints on the
road leading to the capital, too.
**[02:24] Kizuna**
So we'll need to buy a pass.
**[02:30] Naofumi**
So even in another world, I'm back
to being a traveling merchant, huh?
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero

**[04:06] Naofumi**
This country's really Asian-looking.
**[04:08] Kizuna**
Yeah, but some of the
others are more European.
**[04:12] Raphtalia**
Asian? European?
**[04:15] Naofumi**
The clothes are all Japanese,
but there are lots of different races?
**[04:19] Kizuna**
Those are the grass people, or just Grass.
**[04:22] Kizuna**
Demi-humans, like Raphtalia-chan.
**[04:25] Naofumi**
More like elves than demi-humans, I think.
**[04:27] Raphtalia**
Elves?
**[04:29] Kizuna**
Those are the jewel people, or just Jewels.
**[04:33] Kizuna**
Just like Therese-neesan!
**[04:35] Naofumi**
Therese was a different race, too?
**[04:39] Naofumi**
And them? They're not ghosts, right?
**[04:42] Kizuna**
Those are the spirit people, like Glass.
**[04:44] Rishia**
Spirit people?
**[04:46] Kizuna**
Some countries call them Spirits.
**[04:49] Naofumi**
Like Glass?
**[04:51] Kizuna**
Where other races have
life power, magic power,
**[04:54] Kizuna**
and, if you're a vassal weapon
wielder, soul power,
**[04:56] Kizuna**
Spirits only have their energy level.
**[04:59] Naofumi**
Explains why my Soul Eater
Shield hit her so hard.
**[05:03] Kizuna**
Since they're dependent on that energy,
they don't have levels, though.
**[05:08] Rishia**
They don't?
**[05:10] Kizuna**
But that also means Spirits with
lots of energy are very powerful.
**[05:13] Kizuna**
And they're almost entirely incorporeal,
so normal attacks don't hurt them.
**[05:17] Rishia**
So that's why she was so strong.
**[05:20] Kizuna**
Their one weakness is that their
energy can only recover naturally.
**[05:25] Naofumi**
Healing magic and items don't work?
**[05:29] Kizuna**
Nope.
**[05:30] Kizuna**
They receive less benefit from
magic than humans and other races.
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[05:39] Kizuna**
What's this?
**[05:40] Kizuna**
"We suspect that neighboring countries
are developing new weapons.
**[05:43] Kizuna**
They are breeding powerful monsters."
**[05:46] Rishia**
The monsters are a new weapon?
**[05:48] Kizuna**
They're also trying to research
teleportation technology,
**[05:51] Kizuna**
as well as the teleportation skills
of the Cardinal and vassal weapons.
**[05:54] Rishia**
They're trying to artificially recreate
the abilities only heroes have?
**[05:59] Kizuna**
Whether that's true or not, they don't
seem to know about us, yet.
**[06:03] Naofumi**
Well, we just broke out.
**[06:05] Naofumi**
There's a lot of concerning
stuff here, though.
**[06:08] Kizuna**
A lot of it's just gossip, but...
**[06:15] Naofumi**
We need to make enough money to pay
for food and shelter tonight, huh?
**[06:19] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[06:21] Kizuna**
Oh, I can just sell some
drop items I don't need.
**[06:27] Naofumi**
It looks like old Japanese currency.
**[06:30] Kizuna**
Oh, these copper doumon? You're right,
now that you mention it.
**[06:34] Kizuna**
One hundred of these is worth
one silver gyokugin.
**[06:36] Kizuna**
And 100 gyokugin is 1 gold kinban.
**[06:39] Naofumi**
If doumon are the same as
the coppers in my world,
**[06:43] Naofumi**
we don't have nearly enough.
**[06:45] Kizuna**
Yeah.
**[06:47] Kizuna**
I'd like to make some money fast.
**[06:49] Naofumi**
I've been thinking...
**[06:53] Naofumi**
And this might work.
**[06:56] Kizuna**
What's that?
**[06:57] Naofumi**
A soul soothing potion.
**[06:58] Naofumi**
It recovers SP.
**[07:00] Kizuna**
SP? As in "soul power," maybe?
**[07:03] Naofumi**
When I fought Glass,
L'Arc gave her one of these,
**[07:08] Naofumi**
and she got much stronger,
like she was coming back to life.
**[07:13] Kizuna**
What?
**[07:14] Kizuna**
Spirits would pay any price
for something like that.
**[07:17] Naofumi**
I thought so.
**[07:19] Naofumi**
Let's sell it, then.
**[07:20] Kizuna**
B-But that item's totally
unknown in this world.
**[07:23] Kizuna**
Would we find a buyer so soon?
**[07:26] Naofumi**
Who do you think I am?
**[07:28] Naofumi**
Tomorrow we're gonna be
busy leveling and selling.
**[07:31] Naofumi**
Right, Raphtali...a?
**[07:36] Naofumi**
Ra—
**[07:40] Naofumi**
You...
**[07:41] Raphtalia**
N-No!
**[07:43] Raphtalia**
I was thinking Rishia-san's
looked good too, that's all.
**[07:45] Rishia**
Here.
**[07:47] Rishia**
Young demi-humans need to
eat a lot, after all!
**[07:50] Raphtalia**
That's not true—
**[07:51] Raphtalia**
Well, it is true, but...
**[07:59] Naofumi**
Come one, come all!
**[08:01] Naofumi**
See the wares I've brought
from all around the land!
**[08:05] Naofumi**
First, this rare soul soothing potion.
**[08:07] Naofumi**
Soul soothing potion, a rare
medicine from a distant land.
**[08:10] Naofumi**
You Spirits there! This is
just the thing for you!
**[08:15] Raphtalia**
Right this way!
**[08:19] Raphtalia**
It doesn't cost a thing! So try it out!
**[08:24] Kizuna**
They're acting differently
than usual, aren't they?
**[08:26] Rishia**
I was surprised the first
time I saw it, too.
**[08:31] Spirit**
Amazing! I've never seen anything like this!
**[08:33] Spirit**
I can't believe it! My power's back!
**[08:36] Spirit**
Sell it to me! I'll pay any price,
just give it all to me!
**[08:39] Spirit**
Wait! Me, too!
**[08:40] Spirit**
Me, too!
**[08:41] Naofumi**
I'll be back to sell more, so please, relax!
**[08:46] Naofumi**
But it's a rare item, hard to find and produce.
**[08:49] Naofumi**
I don't have much left.
**[08:50] Naofumi**
So tomorrow, I'll be putting
it up for auction!
**[08:54] Spirit**
Auction?
**[08:55] Spirit**
And it's tomorrow, too?
**[08:59] Kizuna**
You're one hell of a salesman.
**[09:04] Kizuna**
See? I can take down monsters easily.
**[09:07] Naofumi**
But I'm not getting any XP.
Maybe because we're both heroes?
**[09:11] Kizuna**
I see.
**[09:13] Kizuna**
If only we could make
up for it with items.
**[09:16] Naofumi**
Want to try a different item
than the soul soothing potion?
**[09:19] Naofumi**
Our items might have different
effects on each other.
**[09:26] Kizuna**
This is an earth crystal.
**[09:28] Kizuna**
Holding it restores your magic.
**[09:33] Naofumi**
I just got 3,000 XP!
**[09:36] Naofumi**
Try this. It's magic water.
**[09:42] Kizuna**
It didn't restore my magic,
but I got weapon enhancement XP.
**[09:46] Naofumi**
There might be other items that
give us both different effects!
**[09:50] Kizuna**
Let's try a bunch of things.
**[09:52] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[09:56] Spirit**
Two gyokugin!
**[09:57] Spirit**
Three gyokugin, 30 doumon!
**[09:59] Spirit**
Thirty gyokugin!
**[10:02] Naofumi**
We have 30 gyokugin! Thirty gyokugin!
**[10:05] Naofumi**
Anyone else want to bid?
**[10:08] Naofumi**
Nobody?
**[10:10] Naofumi**
Then the first one sells for 30 gyokugin!
**[10:17] Naofumi**
Now, the next soul soothing potion...
**[10:25] Spirits**
What did she just do?
**[10:27] Spirits**
Does she know how valuable those were?
**[10:36] Raphtalia**
One of them is safe!
**[10:37] Naofumi**
What luck!
**[10:40] Naofumi**
But this is the very last bottle!
**[10:45] Naofumi**
Bidding starts at one gyokugin!
**[10:49] Kizuna**
Wow, that was so much fun!
**[10:51] Kizuna**
I never thought you could
sell things like that!
**[10:53] Rishia**
It wasn't fun for me.
**[10:56] Kizuna**
Sorry, Rishia-san.
**[10:58] Kizuna**
Naofumi told me to do it.
**[11:00] Naofumi**
Yeah. Good job.
**[11:02] Naofumi**
You did good too, Raphtalia.
**[11:05] Raphtalia**
Thank you!
**[11:07] Kizuna**
We've got more than enough for a pass,
**[11:09] Kizuna**
so let's buy weapons and armor, too!
**[11:13] Kizuna**
Nice! You all look great!
**[11:16] Naofumi**
You don't need any new items?
**[11:18] Kizuna**
I'm fine as I am.
**[11:20] Naofumi**
That haori's a mess.
**[11:23] Kizuna**
Glass gave it to me, though.
**[11:27] Naofumi**
I see... Sorry.
**[11:30] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, do you think
this looks good on me?
**[11:33] Naofumi**
Yeah, seems fine.
**[11:35] Naofumi**
And you look like a ninja girl, Rishia.
**[11:37] Rishia**
Ninja girl?
**[11:39] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, wh-who do you think's
the best out of all of us?
**[11:44] Naofumi**
Hmm... mine has the highest defense stat.
**[11:51] Naofumi**
Okay. Let's buy that pass and
leave first thing in the morning.
**[11:57] Background**
Come see what we've got for sale!
**[12:01] Naofumi**
I guess things are pretty
lively in the capital.
**[12:04] Kizuna**
Yeah. It hasn't changed
over the past few years.
**[12:09] Naofumi**
You okay, Raphtalia?
**[12:10] Raphtalia**
Y-Yes.
**[12:12] Raphtalia**
Just a little cold.
**[12:14] Kizuna**
It might snow.
**[12:17] Rishia**
Snow?
**[12:28] Naofumi**
Security's tight.
**[12:30] Kizuna**
They might have found out I escaped
from the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[12:33] Raphtalia**
Something seems wrong, though.
**[12:38] Naofumi**
What's going on?
**[12:39] Man**
You haven't heard?
**[12:42] Man**
A genius mage from another country developed
a way to use the Return Dragon Vein,
**[12:47] Man**
which only Cardinal Heroes and
Vassal Weapon Heroes can use.
**[12:51] Man**
And they're here for an experiment.
**[12:55] Kizuna**
Looks like it wasn't just gossip.
**[12:58] Naofumi**
Yeah, but what worries me is...
**[13:00] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, is this genius mage...
**[13:03] Rishia**
Could it be...
**[13:06] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[13:07] Background**
Wow!
**[13:10] Background**
It's him!
**[13:13] Background**
It's really him?!
**[13:22] Naofumi**
Who the hell is he?
**[13:25] Kizuna**
He's *not* the genius mage?
**[13:27] Rishia**
He doesn't look like Kyo.
**[13:29] Kizuna**
Kyo?
**[13:30] Flunkies**
Splendid work, Kazuki-sama!
**[13:32] Flunkies**
We believed you could do it!
**[13:35] Kazuki**
Of course I could.
**[13:37] Man**
When it's ready for mass adoption,
please bring it to us first.
**[13:41] Kazuki**
Hmm... perhaps I'll think about it while
I drink sake and watch the snow fall.
**[13:45] Man**
Of course. We have a room prepared.
**[13:48] Kizuna**
Looks like that's why security was tight.
**[13:51] Rishia**
I guess it's not him, but...
**[13:53] Naofumi**
He's nasty in the same way Kyo is.
**[13:55] Kizuna**
Hey, who's Kyo?
**[14:01] Naofumi**
Let's start by finding an inn.
**[14:06] Kizuna**
It's piling up!
**[14:10] Naofumi**
You're too old to play around like that.
**[14:13] Kizuna**
Eighteen's not too old to play in the snow.
**[14:19] Kizuna**
Gotcha!
**[14:20] Rishia**
Gotcha!
**[14:22] Rishia**
Just you wait!
**[14:24] Naofumi**
You too, Rishia?
**[14:26] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, say something to them.
**[14:32] Naofumi**
Too old, huh?
**[14:40] Kizuna**
Anyway, from what you
say about this Kyo guy,
**[14:44] Kizuna**
he's a total shithead!
**[14:47] Rishia**
Yes, he really is.
**[14:49] Kizuna**
As one of this world's Cardinal Heroes,
I'd like to pop him right in the face.
**[14:54] Kizuna**
But my weapon can't hurt humans.
**[14:56] Kizuna**
And you use a shield.
**[14:58] Rishia**
And Raphtalia and Rishia can't
do much at their level.
**[15:03] Rishia**
Kizuna, how much time until the Wave?
**[15:07] Kizuna**
About six days.
**[15:09] Rishia**
We need to find Filo and take down Kyo.
**[15:12] Rishia**
We can't waste time here.
**[15:15] Raphtalia**
Let's go, Naofumi-sama.
**[15:17] Raphtalia**
It's probably not well guarded at this hour.
**[15:20] Raphtalia**
Especially with this blizzard.
**[15:22] Raphtalia**
This is our one chance.
**[15:24] Naofumi**
But you and Rishia don't
have your levels back yet.
**[15:28] Naofumi**
You're not ready to fight humans.
**[15:30] Raphtalia**
I'm your sword.
**[15:32] Raphtalia**
I may be small right now,
**[15:34] Raphtalia**
but no matter how low my level is...
**[15:36] Raphtalia**
I'll protect you no matter what!
**[15:38] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[15:41] Naofumi**
Your dumplings are burning.
**[15:44] Raphtalia**
Oh no!
**[15:45] Raphtalia**
Ow!
**[15:47] Kizuna**
Aw, you guys are so silly.
**[15:51] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, if you're my sword,
**[15:53] Naofumi**
then as the Shield Hero,
it's my job to protect you.
**[15:56] Naofumi**
Don't worry about a thing when you fight.
**[15:57] Naofumi**
I'll protect you both.
**[16:00] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[16:01] Rishia**
I'll d-do my best!
**[16:03] Kizuna**
We go tonight, then.
**[16:06] Kizuna**
Listen. Once we're inside, prioritize getting
to the hourglass over everything else.
**[16:13] Kizuna**
Once I touch it,
Return Dragon Vein will activate.
**[16:19] Kizuna**
You're set as part of my party,
so you can warp with me.
**[16:24] Kizuna**
But I don't know what'll happen
if you're too far away.
**[16:28] Rishia**
Which way next, Kizuna-san?
**[16:30] Kizuna**
Here.
**[16:32] Kizuna**
The hourglass is on the other side.
**[16:37] Kizuna**
What is this?
**[16:40] Men**
There they are! Intruders!
**[16:41] Men**
Get them!
**[16:45] Naofumi**
Looks like...
**[16:46] Kizuna**
They set a trap for us.
**[16:48] Rishia**
N-No!
**[16:51] Raphtalia**
I'll cut a path through!
**[16:52] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[16:55] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[16:56] Kizuna**
Aw... I guess we don't have a choice!
**[16:58] Rishia**
We *don't* have a choice!
**[17:09] Rishia**
H-Here, too?
**[17:11] Naofumi**
Kizuna! Come here and tell us where to go!
**[17:14] Kizuna**
Can't you see I'm busy?
**[17:16] Naofumi**
Take them down! Or is that
sword just for show?!
**[17:19] Kizuna**
Yeah, when I'm fighting humans, it is.
**[17:21] Kizuna**
I showed you, didn't I?
**[17:32] Naofumi**
See, you can do it.
**[17:41] Men**
Damn it!
**[17:42] Men**
Where are they?
**[17:43] Men**
Wait! Damn it!
**[17:45] Kizuna**
Naofumi, let's split up.
**[17:48] Kizuna**
We're just dragging the
enemy around with us!
**[17:51] Naofumi**
But we don't know where the hourglass is.
**[17:52] Kizuna**
It has to be at the center of this mansion.
**[17:55] Kizuna**
Head there, and...
**[17:56] Naofumi**
With all these dead ends?
**[17:59] Kizuna**
If that happens, just do
what I did back there.
**[18:01] Naofumi**
Fine!
**[18:02] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raphtalia!
**[18:04] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[18:05] Kizuna**
Rishia-san, stay with me.
**[18:06] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[18:11] Naofumi**
Damn it! Another one?
**[18:15] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[18:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:25] Naofumi**
Right!
**[18:26] Man**
That kid's so strong...
**[18:29] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, look!
**[18:34] Kazuki**
Well done, well done.
**[18:36] Kazuki**
You're the fools who fell for my trap?
**[18:41] Kazuki**
I deliberately stationed fewer guards,
and you came rushing right in.
**[18:45] Kazuki**
Kyo-san was right.
**[18:48] Naofumi**
You work for Kyo?
**[18:50] Kazuki**
Say what you like.
**[18:53] Kazuki**
I prefer "business partner."
**[18:55] Naofumi**
Let me guess. He became your sponsor for the
teleporter in exchange for having you catch us?
**[19:01] Kazuki**
Something like that.
**[19:02] Kazuki**
Looks like you pissed him off.
**[19:05] Kazuki**
He was really mad.
**[19:09] Naofumi**
That makes me feel a little better.
**[19:12] Naofumi**
Just a little, though.
**[19:14] Kazuki**
Now I see why he's pissed off.
**[19:16] Kazuki**
Wipe that smirk off your face, asshole.
**[19:18] Naofumi**
Don't worry. I don't like you, either.
**[19:22] Naofumi**
You fake-ass wannabe Kyo!
**[19:24] Kazuki**
Let me correct you on one thing.
**[19:27] Kazuki**
I wasn't told to catch you.
**[19:30] Kazuki**
I was told "alive or dead."
**[19:34] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[19:41] Kizuna**
Naofumi!
**[19:42] Rishia**
Raphtalia-san!
**[19:43] Naofumi**
Kizuna! Make a run for the Hourglass!
**[19:45] Kizuna**
Okay!
**[19:47] Kazuki**
Stop the little girl!
**[19:49] Kazuki**
Kill her!
**[19:50] Kizuna**
Don't call me little!
**[19:57] Rishia**
You did it, Kizuna-san!
**[19:59] Kazuki**
Shit!
**[20:00] Kizuna**
Get as close to the hourglass
as you can, everyone!
**[20:08] Kizuna**
Here I go! Return Dragon Vein!
**[20:22] Kizuna**
What?
**[20:24] Naofumi**
Raphtalia?
**[20:27] Naofumi**
That voice? Kyo!
**[20:29] Kyo**
*Yup!*
**[20:30] Kyo**
*How you doin', Shield Dumbass?*
**[20:32] Kyo**
*I've been waiting for this moment!*
**[20:35] Kyo**
*This awesome, awesome moment!*
**[20:37] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[20:40] Naofumi**
Kizuna, call off the warp!
**[20:42] Kizuna**
I can't! Once it starts I can't stop it!
**[20:46] Kyo**
*Yup.*
**[20:47] Kyo**
* Why do you think I sent you*
* into the Infinite Labyrinth?*
**[20:50] Kyo**
* Why do you think I let you*
* keep the raccoon demi-human?*
**[20:54] Kyo**
*Why?*
**[20:56] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[20:57] Kyo**
*Yup!*
**[20:58] Kyo**
*To see that look on your face!*
**[21:01] Kyo**
*That face, twisted with rage and despair!*
**[21:04] Naofumi**
You bastard!
**[21:06] Kyo**
*Yup! Just what I wanted to see!*
**[21:08] Kazuki**
Not fair, Kyo-san.
**[21:09] Kazuki**
He insulted me. I need to see him dead.
**[21:14] Kazuki**
Move, or I'll cut your head off.
**[21:16] Kyo**
*Nope!*
**[21:17] Kyo**
* I'm taking the little one back*
* to my lab for experiments.*
**[21:22] Naofumi**
No! Raphtalia!
**[21:27] Raphtalia**
Go, Naofumi-sama!
**[21:28] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, what are you—
**[21:31] Raphtalia**
I thought that after I became small,
I couldn't help you anymore.
**[21:36] Raphtalia**
But I was kind of happy...
**[21:39] Raphtalia**
Since I got to have you pat me on the head
and carry me, like when we first met.
**[21:46] Raphtalia**
I'll be your sword until the end.
**[21:51] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[21:56] Kyo**
*I'm dying! I'm dying of laughter!*
**[22:00] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!

**[00:04] Naofumi**
Kizuna, send us back!
**[00:07] Kizuna**
Calm down, Naofumi! That's just
what that Kyo guy wants!
**[00:11] Naofumi**
I don't give a shit!
**[00:12] Naofumi**
I'd rather fall for whatever trap he's
set than leave Raphtalia there alone!
**[00:24] Kizuna**
It's no good. They've shut
it off on their side.
**[00:28] Naofumi**
That piece of shit!
**[00:31] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[00:33] Kizuna**
Naofumi, I know someone here who's
really good at finding people.
**[00:37] Kizuna**
If we ask him for help, I'm sure
he'll find her right away.
**[00:40] Kizuna**
So... calm down okay?
**[00:41] Man A**
Kizuna-sama?
**[00:44] Man B**
It's Kizuna-sama!
**[00:49] Kizuna**
Don't worry. They're from Sikul!
**[00:52] Kizuna**
They're on our side!
**[00:53] Man A**
Welcome home, Kizuna-sama!
**[00:55] Kizuna**
I'm home.
**[01:01] Kizuna**
Sorry, can you go get Ethnobalt for me?
**[01:11] Owner**
Come on!
**[01:13] Filo**
No! Let me go!
**[01:16] Filo**
Let me go!
**[01:22] Owner**
Damn it. The rain's driven
away all my customers.
**[01:35] Owner**
Shut up!
**[01:36] Owner**
I was lucky enough to
find a mutant like you.
**[01:38] Owner**
You're going to make me
a lot of money tomorrow!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Episode 9 Humming Fairy
**[03:15] Noble A**
They locked our nation's Cardinal Hero,
Kizuna-sama, in the Infinite Labyrinth?
**[03:21] Noble B**
This is a serious act of hostility!
**[03:23] Noble A**
We will lodge an official complaint
with Mikakage immediately!
**[03:25] Kizuna**
Yeah, go do that.
**[03:28] Noble C**
But how did you escape from
the Infinite Labyrinth?
**[03:33] Kizuna**
It's thanks to them!
**[03:37] Noble A**
I see!
**[03:39] Noble B**
We can't thank you enough
for saving our hero!
**[03:44] Rishia**
Um, no, it was nothing...
**[03:48] Kizuna**
That's Rishia-san.
**[03:50] Kizuna**
And this is Iwatani Naofumi.
**[03:53] Kizuna**
He's a Cardinal Hero just like me!
**[03:56] Kizuna**
From another world, though.
**[04:06] Kizuna**
What's wrong, everyone?
**[04:07] Noble A**
Kizuna-sama, get away from him.
**[04:11] Noble B**
Call the guards!
**[04:12] Noble C**
He's come to destroy our world.
**[04:15] Kizuna**
Naofumi's here to destroy the world?
**[04:21] Kizuna**
That makes no sense!
**[04:23] Kizuna**
Naofumi saved my life! How can you say that?
**[04:35] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[04:36] Kizuna**
Naofumi!
***SIGN*** Oh, and where might you be going?
**[04:50] Kizuna**
Ethnobalt!
***SIGN*** It's been a long, long time, Kizuna.
***SIGN*** I keep trying to find you, but I was too slow to find where you were.
**[05:01] Naofumi**
Who the hell are you?
***SIGN*** Are you the one who wants me to find someone,
***SIGN*** Cardinal Hero from another world?
***SIGN*** I am Ethnobalt, wielder of the Boat Vassal Weapon.
***SIGN*** Kizuna, first, take this.
***SIGN*** He missed you.
**[05:21] Kizuna**
Thank you! So you held
on to him for me, huh?
***SIGN*** Yes. Glass was keeping him at first, but she's been busy.
**[05:35] Kizuna**
Chris!
**[05:38] Kizuna**
I'm happy to see you again!
**[05:40] Rishia**
K-Kizuna-san, what's that?
**[05:44] Kizuna**
Sorry. This is my shikigami, Chris!
**[05:49] Rishia**
Shikigami?
**[05:52] Kizuna**
Yup.
**[05:53] Kizuna**
Glass and I made him.
***SIGN*** About four days ago, Chris started going crazy.
***SIGN*** Thinking back, that must have been when you escaped the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[06:04] Kizuna**
Yes.
**[06:05] Kizuna**
He'll tell us where Glass is, too.
**[06:08] Rishia**
I see! That's perfect for finding people!
**[06:13] Rishia**
But how do we find Raphtalia-san
and Filo-chan?
**[06:18] Kizuna**
Well, I'll have Naofumi make one, too.
**[06:22] Naofumi**
How?
**[06:24] Kizuna**
You need the blood of the owner and
something to function as a shikigami catalyst.
**[06:30] Kizuna**
For instance, a single strand of her hair.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
Her hair?
**[06:38] Naofumi**
I absorbed some into my shield once.
**[06:41] Naofumi**
Raphtalia's hair. This is it.
**[06:48] Rishia**
That's Raphtalia-san's hair?
**[06:52] Kizuna**
And then your blood, Naofumi.
***SIGN*** Let us begin the ritual to create the shikigami, then.
***SIGN*** I wish for something to protect them, and give them power.
***SIGN*** The creation of that which serves as servant and as fragment of their magic.
***SIGN*** Let a servant that gives protection be born!
***SIGN*** This is...
**[07:22] Rishia**
Wh-What's going on?
***SIGN*** Nothing... It's manifesting faster than I imagined.
***SIGN*** To whom does this catalyst belong?
***SIGN*** Shikigami Shield
**[07:35] Naofumi**
Shikigami Shield?
**[07:47] Naofumi**
This is a shikigami?
**[07:49] Kizuna**
That's right! Nice work, Naofumi!
***SIGN*** I was worried for a moment. I'm glad it worked, though.
**[08:01] Naofumi**
Raphtalia?
**[08:03] Kizuna**
Cheer up a bit!
**[08:05] Kizuna**
If it worked, that means the person the
catalyst belongs to is still alive!
**[08:10] Rishia**
Then...
**[08:12] Kizuna**
Raphtalia-chan is safe!
**[08:13] Rishia**
Whew...
**[08:17] Rishia**
I-It's cute!
**[08:19] Kizuna**
But we don't know how long
she'll stay safe for.
**[08:23] Kizuna**
We need to hurry.
**[08:25] Naofumi**
Yeah, I know.
**[08:27] Naofumi**
But it's not just Raphtalia.
There's Filo, too.
**[08:30] Naofumi**
We'll find them both.
**[08:32] Rishia**
Right!
**[08:32] Naofumi**
Ethnobalt, right?
**[08:34] Naofumi**
Thank you for creating my shikigami.
***SIGN*** Not at all. I hope you find your friend soon.
**[08:41] Naofumi**
Are you human?
**[08:44] Kizuna**
You can tell? You're amazing, Naofumi.
***SIGN*** No, something just felt off.
***SIGN*** A rabbit?
**[08:56] Kizuna**
Ethnobalt is a descendant
of a species of monsters
**[08:59] Kizuna**
that have protected this
world for generations.
**[09:03] Naofumi**
A descendant of monsters
that protect this world?
**[09:06] Naofumi**
So that's it.
**[09:09] Kizuna**
You don't usually show your true form to
people just after meeting them, though.
***SIGN*** Strangely, it felt safe to let him see me this way.
**[09:21] Kizuna**
Maybe animals just like him?
**[09:25] Naofumi**
So, it's not just because
you can make shikigami
**[09:28] Naofumi**
that you're supposedly good
at finding people, right?
**[09:31] Kizuna**
Naofumi...
**[09:33] Rishia**
That's just who Naofumi-san is, though.
***SIGN*** Of course, that's not all.
**[09:38] Kizuna**
Ethnobalt is the Boat Vassal Weapon's wielder.
**[09:42] Kizuna**
His boat will take us to where the
person you're looking for is.
**[09:45] Naofumi**
You can't use the Return Dragon Vein yet?
**[09:48] Kizuna**
No, I can take us anywhere
that's not locked off.
**[09:52] Kizuna**
But his skill is way more amazing than that!
**[09:55] Naofumi**
But it's just a ship, right?
***SIGN*** Let's go someplace else.
**[10:12] Rishia**
I-It's floating!
**[10:15] Naofumi**
The "boat" was the
thing he was standing on?
**[10:22] Naofumi**
Where is Raphtalia?
**[10:25] Kizuna**
Naofumi, you're not going to name it?
**[10:28] Naofumi**
A name? Yeah, eventually.
**[10:31] Naofumi**
Now, tell me where Raphtalia is.
**[10:33] Kizuna**
Hurry up and pick one, okay?
**[10:35] Kizuna**
Chris, do you know where Glass is?
**[10:42] Rishia**
That's...
**[10:44] Naofumi**
They're in the same place?
***SIGN*** That's not good.
**[10:49] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[10:51] Kizuna**
Raybul.
**[10:52] Kizuna**
They're allied with Mikakage, the ones
that locked me in the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[10:56] Kizuna**
And Kazuki, that "genius mage,"
is from there, too.
**[11:01] Naofumi**
An enemy country, then?
**[11:03] Naofumi**
You have a lot of those.
**[11:05] Kizuna**
I do!
**[11:06] Kizuna**
The whole world's been on edge for a while.
**[11:09] Kizuna**
A war could start at any time.
**[11:12] Rishia**
If they're still there, that means...
**[11:15] Kizuna**
It's likely they were captured.
**[11:17] Naofumi**
Even if it's a trap, we have to go.
**[11:20] Naofumi**
I hope Filo's there, too.
***SIGN*** I'll warp the ship, then.
**[11:24] Rishia**
You can use portals?
***SIGN*** We can travel fast by riding along the connections between the dragon hourglasses.
**[11:32] Kizuna**
And we don't have to register
with the hourglass first,
**[11:34] Kizuna**
or be transported right in front of it.
**[11:37] Rishia**
If the hourglass was right in their
headquarters, that'd be really dangerous.
**[11:41] Naofumi**
It's a big improvement over
Return Dragon Vein.
***SIGN*** It's all I can do, though.
**[11:48] Naofumi**
No, it's more than enough.
**[11:50] Kizuna**
Yup! I'm really grateful to Ethnobalt!
***SIGN*** It was worth waiting for her return.
***SIGN*** I can finally be of use to her.
**[12:01] Onlooker A**
Wow!
**[12:02] Onlooker B**
Look!
**[12:05] Owner**
Move your wings! Your wings!
**[12:15] Owner**
Now sing! Sing!
**[12:18] Filo**
Master!
**[12:24] Kizuna**
If we showed up right in the sky
above them, they'd find us immediately.
**[12:28] Kizuna**
Let's land outside town and sneak inside.
***SIGN*** I'll wait for word from you!
***SIGN*** Stay safe!
**[12:42] Naofumi**
It looks like Mikakage,
but it's a bit more modern.
**[12:48] Rishia**
The sun's setting.
**[12:50] Kizuna**
What should we do? We can stay at an inn.
**[12:52] Naofumi**
We know what direction she's in.
**[12:54] Naofumi**
We'll walk all night if we have to.
**[12:56] Kizuna**
I agree.
**[12:57] Rishia**
I'll do my best, even if I'm sleepy!
**[12:59] Kizuna**
I almost forgot! What's this about
Naofumi destroying the world?
**[13:04] Rishia**
What the people at the castle said...
**[13:07] Kizuna**
Drat. I was going to ask Ethnobalt.
**[13:11] Kizuna**
He said Glass seemed busy, too.
**[13:16] Kizuna**
What was she doing in your world?
**[13:20] Kizuna**
What's wrong?
**[13:23] Naofumi**
I can hear it.
**[13:28] Kizuna**
Naofumi!
**[13:30] Rishia**
Th-That's the wrong way!
**[13:38] Naofumi**
*It's not Raphtalia. But that voice...*
**[13:43] Naofumi**
*Is it... Is it...?*
**[13:52] Kizuna**
What's gotten into you?
**[13:55] Owner**
It's the celestial maiden who's
come down from the heavens!
**[13:57] Owner**
We're closed for today,
but come see her tomorrow!
**[14:03] Kizuna**
The celestial maiden...
**[14:04] Naofumi**
...who's come down from the heavens?
**[14:07] Rishia**
Is that what he said?
**[14:09] Rishia**
Is that...
**[14:11] Filo**
No! Help me!
**[14:14] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan!
**[14:16] Filo**
Raphtalia-oneechan!
**[14:19] Background A**
It just makes me feel sick.
**[14:21] Filo**
Master!
**[14:21] Background B**
Yeah.
**[14:23] Owner**
Enough! Take her away!
**[14:24] Background A**
Is that "singing"? I don't know what
she's saying, but it sounds like she's crying.
**[14:29] Background B**
I feel bad for her.
**[14:32] Naofumi**
Filo...
**[14:33] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[14:35] Rishia**
No, Naofumi-san!
**[14:37] Kizuna**
That's right!
**[14:38] Kizuna**
You can't cause a fuss right now!
**[14:40] Naofumi**
Let me go. I'm going to go murder
that shithead where he stands.
**[14:42] Rishia**
I want to kill him, too!
**[14:44] Rishia**
But calm down!
**[14:45] Rishia**
Let's sneak in under cover
of night and save her!
**[14:51] Kizuna**
You're too loud!
**[14:53] Kizuna**
I don't think they can understand
what she's saying, at least.
**[14:57] Naofumi**
Yeah. Our priority is to
get Filo back unharmed.
**[15:06] Kizuna**
Is this another trap of Kyo's?
**[15:10] Naofumi**
I don't give a shit. I'm sick of this.
**[15:12] Naofumi**
We can torture that guy until
he tells us the truth.
**[15:15] Kizuna**
At least say you'll question him.
**[15:17] Rishia**
Is there a difference?
**[15:19] Kizuna**
No, um...
**[15:21] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[15:23] Kizuna**
Those two are kinda scary.
**[15:35] Kizuna**
It feels like breaking and
entering is all I do lately.
**[15:39] Naofumi**
It's not like the laws mean anything here.
**[15:44] Rishia**
Filo-chan, where are you?
**[15:52] Rishia**
Birds?
**[16:04] Kizuna**
That's a humming fairy chick.
**[16:06] Kizuna**
They're bird monsters that
are said to be able to sing.
**[16:09] Rishia**
It doesn't look like a filolial.
Let's look somewhere else—
**[16:12] Naofumi**
No... Filo!
**[16:20] Rishia**
But it's not a filolial...
**[16:21] Naofumi**
It's you, right, Filo? Right, Filo?
**[16:27] Rishia**
It's really Filo-chan?
**[16:28] Naofumi**
What's wrong? You can't transform?
**[16:30] Rishia**
Those look like talismans!
**[16:33] Kizuna**
Servant talismans.
**[16:35] Kizuna**
You usually put one on the monster itself.
**[16:38] Naofumi**
He put them on the cage, too, to keep
her monster crest from working?
**[16:42] Rishia**
How awful!
**[16:45] Naofumi**
Kizuna, can you cut open the cage?
**[16:48] Kizuna**
I can, but I don't know what will
happen if we destroy the talismans.
**[16:52] Naofumi**
If I can use the monster crest...
**[16:57] Naofumi**
Filo, hang in there just a little more!
**[17:06] Naofumi**
Kizuna, now!
**[17:08] Kizuna**
On it!
**[17:13] Filo**
Master!
**[17:19] Rishia**
Filo-chan... I'm so glad... I'm so glad.
**[17:23] Kizuna**
But how did you know that
humming fairy was her?
**[17:27] Naofumi**
She's my dear companion... How could
I mistake her for anything else?
**[17:31] Owner**
What's all this noise?
**[17:34] Owner**
You think you can steal my golden
goose, do you? Criminal!
**[17:38] Kizuna**
Who's the criminal here?
**[17:41] Kizuna**
Now you're in for it!
**[17:50] Voice A**
Sing.
**[17:51] Voice B**
Get moving!
**[17:53] Voice C**
Sing for us!
**[18:04] Kizuna**
That shield's power is amazing.
**[18:09] Kizuna**
After he confessed everything,
it kind of... broke him.
**[18:14] Kizuna**
His mind, I mean.
**[18:15] Naofumi**
So he was just the son of a noble,
making some money off a sideshow?
**[18:20] Kizuna**
He said his dad found Filo-chan unconscious.
**[18:26] Naofumi**
It may have been Kyo who
gave her to his father.
**[18:31] Kizuna**
He really is a piece of shit.
**[18:33] Kizuna**
How could he do that to a cute
little crybaby like her?
**[18:36] Naofumi**
She's normally full of
energy and never cries.
**[18:41] Kizuna**
But she's a... filolial, was it?
**[18:44] Kizuna**
Why did she become a humming
fairy in this world?
**[18:47] Naofumi**
If filolial don't exist in this world,
**[18:50] Naofumi**
she may have been assigned a similar race.
**[18:53] Naofumi**
The reason she was still able
to transform into a human
**[18:56] Naofumi**
might be that she has a unique
power as a future filolial queen.
**[19:10] Filo**
Master?
**[19:12] Naofumi**
What?
**[19:14] Filo**
You won't disappear again, will you?
**[19:25] Naofumi**
I won't. I'm with both of you forever.
**[19:39] Filo**
No!
**[19:40] Filo**
Master is my master!
**[19:43] Kizuna**
She's gotten better, but now,
she's not leaving Naofumi's side.
**[19:47] Rishia**
She must've been really scared.
**[19:50] Filo**
Master, who's this?
**[19:52] Filo**
Smells like Raphtalia-oneechan...
**[19:55] Naofumi**
It's a shikigami made
from Raphtalia's hair.
**[19:58] Naofumi**
It's been here since yesterday.
**[20:01] Filo**
You can be Raph-chan, then!
**[20:04] All**
Raph-chan?
**[20:08] Naofumi**
Well, if it's okay with that.
**[20:11] Kizuna**
Hey. I've been here since yesterday, too.
**[20:14] Kizuna**
I'm Kazayama Kizuna!
**[20:15] Kizuna**
This is Chris, my shikigami!
**[20:18] Filo**
Kizuna-oneechan and Chris!
**[20:20] Kizuna**
Onee-chan...
**[20:21] Kizuna**
Naofumi, Filo-chan's a good girl, isn't she?
**[20:24] Naofumi**
"Kizuna-chan" should be good enough, right?
**[20:26] Kizuna**
Naofumi...
**[20:27] Man D**
You're not safe anywhere these days.
**[20:33] Naofumi**
People might already be talking
about what happened yesterday.
**[20:36] Naofumi**
Filo, hide.
**[20:42] Rishia**
What does it say?
**[20:44] Kizuna**
It's about Filo.
**[20:46] Kizuna**
It was too dark for them to make out
any real description of us, though.
**[20:51] Naofumi**
Lucky she was able to become smaller.
**[20:54] Kizuna**
It also says...
**[20:56] Kizuna**
This one looks worse.
**[20:58] Kizuna**
The Wielder of the Katana Vassal Weapon
was found, but escaped.
**[21:02] Kizuna**
The nation's doing everything
it can to find them.
**[21:04] Naofumi**
Katana Vassal Weapon Wielder?
**[21:06] Naofumi**
What does it matter if—
**[21:09] Naofumi**
What?
**[21:10] Rishia**
What's wrong?
**[21:12] Naofumi**
No...
**[21:14] Naofumi**
Raphtalia's stats disappeared!
**[21:18] Kizuna**
Why?
**[21:19] Naofumi**
I don't know.
**[21:20] Naofumi**
Something suddenly felt "wrong," and then...
**[21:22] Rishia**
No...
**[21:24] Naofumi**
Could Kyo have...
**[21:28] Naofumi**
If this thing's still here, then...
**[21:31] Kizuna**
Raphtalia-chan should still be safe!
**[21:34] Naofumi**
Then why is the slave crest...
**[21:38] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[23:17] Soldier**
Hurry up, and get out.
**[23:22] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[23:29] Soldier**
This way!

**[00:14] Man A**
Come on! This way!
**[00:27] Man A**
Don't stop moving! Quickly!
**[00:30] Man A**
You'll be held here until we
turn you over to Kyo-dono.
**[00:35] Raphtalia**
*Naofumi-sama...*
**[00:37] Raphtalia**
*You're angry right now, aren't you?*
**[00:46] Raphtalia**
*But I won't die before I see you again!*
**[00:59] Raphtalia**
My power...
**[01:01] L'Arc**
You're wasting your time.
**[01:04] L'Arc**
The more you use your power here,
the more it gets sucked away.
**[01:11] L'Arc**
And you can't force open the
door with that tiny body.
**[01:15] Raphtalia**
L'Arc-san, Therese-san... Glass-san!
**[01:19] L'Arc**
How do you know our names?
**[01:21] Glass**
That face, the color of your hair...
**[01:24] Glass**
Are you...
**[01:25] Therese**
Are you Raphtalia-san?
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Episode 10 Katana Hero
**[03:03] L'Arc**
Raphtalia... Is that you, Raphtally-chan?
**[03:07] Glass**
How did you reach this world?
**[03:09] L'Arc**
And why are you so small?
**[03:12] L'Arc**
What's wrong?
**[03:13] Raphtalia**
You're Naofumi-sama's...
**[03:18] Raphtalia**
No, all of our enemies!
**[03:21] L'Arc**
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
**[03:23] Raphtalia**
But I think we're still under a truce...
**[03:28] Raphtalia**
Until we avenge Ost-san and stop Kyo.
**[03:33] Raphtalia**
And for that to happen, we need to
get out of here as fast as we can.
**[03:38] Raphtalia**
So, won't you help me once more?
**[03:46] L'Arc**
That tough attitude...
**[03:48] L'Arc**
You're small, but you're
definitely Raphtally-chan!
**[03:50] Therese**
Of course. We feel the same.
**[03:53] Therese**
We want to take back the Spirit Tortoise's
power and return it to your world.
**[03:58] Therese**
But...
**[04:00] Raphtalia**
But?
**[04:01] L'Arc**
We made it home, but I guess the
whole thing was Kyo's trap.
**[04:06] L'Arc**
And now we're in this mess.
**[04:09] Raphtalia**
I see.
**[04:11] Raphtalia**
You were sent here, just like we were
sent to the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[04:15] L'Arc**
The Infinite Labyrinth?
**[04:17] L'Arc**
That's where you guys ended up?
**[04:20] Glass**
That's a temporal prison
you can never escape from!
**[04:23] Man A**
Quiet! Pipe down in there!
**[04:26] Glass**
We should start by going over
what we know, it seems.
**[04:33] Glass**
I can't believe it...
**[04:35] Glass**
Kizuna... Kizuna was trapped
in the Infinite Labyrinth?
**[04:40] Glass**
I never even thought...
**[04:42] Glass**
I should've checked that, too!
**[04:45] L'Arc**
But she's out now, and that's
what matters, right?
**[04:48] Therese**
And Kizuna and your party
left you to head to Sikul.
**[04:52] Therese**
It must've been hard for Naofumi-san.
**[04:55] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[04:56] Raphtalia**
He may never forgive me.
**[04:59] Therese**
That's not...
**[05:01] Glass**
I thank you, from the bottom of
my heart, for saving Kizuna.
**[05:05] Glass**
This time, we'll...
**[05:09] Glass**
bring you back to Naofumi.
**[05:12] Raphtalia**
Glass-san...
**[05:13] L'Arc**
Like I said, this place is called
the Prison of Exhaustion.
**[05:17] L'Arc**
It has a magic that constantly
drains and exhausts those inside.
**[05:21] L'Arc**
And the guards' power is enhanced
with special talismans.
**[05:26] L'Arc**
It's a rough place to be stuck in.
**[05:31] Therese**
Spirits have their very life drained.
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
That's why they let you
keep your weapons, then.
**[05:40] L'Arc**
Yeah, that's part of it.
**[05:42] L'Arc**
But also, you can't take a vassal
weapon from its wielder.
**[05:49] Raphtalia**
Just like the Cardinal Weapons?
**[05:54] Therese**
Glass got excited when
she heard about Kizuna.
**[05:58] L'Arc**
That just made the exhaustion worse.
**[06:01] Therese**
We need to get out of here, fast.
**[06:09] Raphtalia**
Our abilities are weakened,
but we can still use them, right?
**[06:14] Therese**
Yes...
**[06:15] Raphtalia**
I may be able to do something.
**[06:22] Man A**
Escapees!
**[06:27] L'Arc**
Your illusion magic is incredible!
**[06:31] Raphtalia**
No... it's all I can do at this level...
**[06:37] (Flashback) Man A**
They're gone?
**[06:42] (Flashback) Man A**
What?
**[06:46] (Flashback) Man A**
Where were you hiding?
**[06:49] (Flashback) Man A**
Answer me! Hey!
**[06:52] (Flashback) Man A**
What?
**[06:53] Raphtalia**
Compared to Glass-san's
abilities, it's nothing!
**[06:54] Man A**
My talisman...
**[06:57] L'Arc**
Don't worry. Her stuff's
on a whole other level.
**[07:00] Glass**
What do you think I am?
**[07:02] Raphtalia**
What do we do now?
**[07:04] L'Arc**
We head to Sikul, of course.
**[07:07] L'Arc**
We need to meet up with
Kizuna and the others.
**[07:10] Glass**
No objections here.
**[07:13] Raphtalia**
*Naofumi-sama, I'm coming back.*
**[07:17] Raphtalia**
*I'm coming back to be with you.*
**[07:24] L'Arc**
Kizuna's group headed to Sikul
using Return Dragon Vein, right?
**[07:29] L'Arc**
It'd be the fastest thing for us, too.
**[07:32] Glass**
But we'd have to get to
Raybul's dragon hourglass.
**[07:37] Raphtalia**
We don't know what kind of trap Kyo's set.
**[07:41] Therese**
Let's try and get your level
as high as we can on the way.
**[07:46] Therese**
And this time, we're with you.
**[07:49] Glass**
We'll all head to Sikul together.
**[07:56] L'Arc**
I'm starving, too.
**[07:57] L'Arc**
But they took all our stuff
at the prison. I'm broke.
**[08:01] Glass**
And people will get suspicious if
we wear these cloaks all the time.
**[08:05] Therese**
Oh, fine.
**[08:11] Glass**
Where were you hiding those?
**[08:24] L'Arc**
Here you go, Raphtally-chan.
**[08:26] Raphtalia**
Th-Thank you.
**[08:28] L'Arc**
Sorry. You would've rather
had some food, right?
**[08:31] Raphtalia**
I'm not that hungry!
**[08:36] L'Arc**
You look pretty hungry to me!
**[08:38] Glass**
They say that demihumans in her world
change shape as they gain levels.
**[08:43] Therese**
But I guess they need food, too.
**[08:46] Therese**
I'll have to sell these, too.
**[08:48] L'Arc**
You have more?
**[09:04] L'Arc**
You seem a little bigger
than before, Raphtalia.
**[09:08] Raphtalia**
My joints kind of hurt, actually.
**[09:11] Glass**
Growing pains?
**[09:13] Glass**
I can tailor your kimono, but we'll
need a new weapon for you.
**[09:19] Therese**
Oh, fine!
**[09:20] Therese**
It's for Raphtalia-san, after all!
**[09:23] Raphtalia**
Sorry...
**[09:29] L'Arc**
Sheesh. It's dangerous out there.
**[09:31] Therese**
They're looking for us, though.
**[09:36] Raphtalia**
You're very good at that.
**[09:37] Glass**
Since we've fought each other, it's kind of
embarrassing to have you see me doing this.
**[09:42] Raphtalia**
Kizuna-san's haori...
**[09:45] Raphtalia**
She said you gave it to her.
**[09:47] Raphtalia**
Did you tailor it for her?
**[09:49] Glass**
Yes...
**[09:50] Raphtalia**
She seemed to really like it.
**[09:53] Glass**
I see.
**[09:54] Raphtalia**
I hope you see her soon.
**[09:56] Glass**
And, um, you too...
**[09:59] L'Arc**
I hope you see your lad soon,
too, Raphtally-chan.
**[10:08] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[10:15] L'Arc**
That's the dragon hourglass.
**[10:17] Glass**
Something's up.
**[10:20] Man B**
They're deciding who will wield
the Katana Vassal Weapon.
**[10:23] Man B**
There's a candidate for it!
**[10:25] Man C**
At last!
**[10:26] Raphtalia**
Katana Vassal Weapon?
**[10:29] L'Arc**
Seriously?
**[10:30] Therese**
That's something else to
worry about, huh, L'Arc?
**[10:34] Glass**
A vassal weapon wielder, like myself or L'Arc,
is about to be born in this country.
**[10:40] Glass**
The presence of a hero is capable of tilting
the military balance between nations.
**[10:46] Raphtalia**
Why would that be a problem for L'Arc?
**[10:49] L'Arc**
Let's go check it out!
**[10:51] L'Arc**
As a fellow vassal weapon wielder,
I've got to take a look at him, at least.
**[11:00] Man D**
We will now choose the holder
of the Katana Vassal Weapon!
**[11:05] Man D**
Many adventurers have tried
to draw the vassal weapon.
**[11:10] Man D**
But none have succeeded!
**[11:13] Man D**
But the vassal weapon will heed
the call of its rightful bearer!
**[11:21] Raphtalia**
It's kind of like a big party.
**[11:23] L'Arc**
That's what it is, actually.
**[11:25] Therese**
Raybul has held the Katana
Vassal Weapon for ages.
**[11:29] Glass**
It's not just important militarily,
**[11:32] Glass**
it's a symbol of their faith.
**[11:35] L'Arc**
And this is a chance to
own it. That is, to be a hero.
**[11:39] L'Arc**
Holding it grants you wealth, fame, and power.
**[11:42] Glass**
But it's not easy.
**[11:44] Glass**
The Vassal Weapon itself chooses its holder.
**[11:50] Raphtalia**
And now there's a candidate for it?
**[11:53] Man D**
Now, candidate, come forward!
**[11:55] Man D**
If you truly desire the katana, draw it!
**[12:04] Raphtalia**
That's...
**[12:06] Man B**
It's Kazuki-sama!
**[12:07] Man C**
He'll be the one to wield it?
**[12:33] Man D**
It's no good. She's not here.
**[12:34] Man D**
She may have run into a house.
**[12:37] Man D**
We'll search them all!
**[12:42] Raphtalia**
Why am I...
**[12:46] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
This is...
**[12:54] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
My slave crest!
**[12:56] (Flashback) Kazuki**
Grab her! She stole my katana!
**[12:59] (Flashback) L'Arc**
No, it's not yours.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Man D**
Don't move!
**[13:05] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I can't get rid of it!
**[13:07] (Flashback) L'Arc**
Right?
**[13:08] (Flashback) L'Arc**
Once you own a vassal weapon,
you can't get rid of it.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Therese**
That's not important now!
**[13:12] (Flashback) Glass**
We should withdraw.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Therese**
Here.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Therese**
Raphtalia-san!
**[13:25] (Flashback) L'Arc**
Lass? That idiot...
**[13:29] Raphtalia**
Why did it disappear?
**[13:44] Raphtalia**
My body... why?
**[13:47] Man D**
There she is!
**[14:12] Raphtalia**
*Naofumi-sama... Filo...*
**[14:19] Raphtalia**
* Just once... Just once more...*
* I want to see Naofumi-sama again.*
**[14:25] Raphtalia**
*He may be mad.*
**[14:27] Raphtalia**
*He may not pat me on the head anymore.*
**[14:35] Man D**
This way!
**[14:36] Man E**
Head around to the back! Hurry!
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
*But still...*
**[14:45] Raphtalia**
* But still... I want to see*
* you again, and apologize!*
**[14:49] Raphtalia**
*And if you'll let me,*
**[14:52] Raphtalia**
*I'll be your sword again.*
**[14:57] Raphtalia**
*No! That's not it!*
**[15:00] Raphtalia**
* You can get mad at me if you want.*
* You don't need to forgive me.*
**[15:05] Raphtalia**
*But I'll never leave you again!*
**[15:08] Raphtalia**
*And this time, I want to stand by your side,*
**[15:16] Raphtalia**
*not just be your sword!*
**[15:20] Girl A**
Who's there?
**[15:22] Girl A**
The Hero of the Katana Vassal Weapon?
**[15:32] Girl A**
This way.
**[15:37] Raphtalia**
Um...
**[15:41] Girl A**
My clan has served the Hero of the
Katana Vassal Weapon for generations.
**[15:47] Raphtalia**
I'm not a hero...
**[15:49] Girl A**
No, you are!
**[15:52] Girl A**
The vassal weapon chose you. That's proof.
**[16:00] Girl A**
You look wonderful, Dame Hero!
**[16:03] Man D**
This way!
**[16:04] Man E**
Surround the shrine!
**[16:06] Raphtalia**
It doesn't hurt anymore.
**[16:08] Raphtalia**
And I feel strong, too.
**[16:11] Raphtalia**
Thank you for this clothing.
**[16:15] Girl A**
Think nothing of it!
**[16:19] Raphtalia**
Goodbye.
**[16:28] Man D**
Those clothes...
**[16:29] Man E**
She's the Hero of the Katana Vassal Weapon!
**[16:31] Kazuki**
Move.
**[16:36] Kazuki**
You think you're a Hero already, huh?
**[16:39] Kazuki**
Wait, you look taller!
**[16:41] Raphtalia**
I don't want to shed meaningless blood.
**[16:44] Raphtalia**
Will you leave?
**[16:46] Kazuki**
Don't tell me what to do, thief!
**[16:49] Kazuki**
That belongs to me!
**[16:51] Kazuki**
I was supposed to be its wielder!
**[16:53] Kazuki**
Give it back now, and I'll let
you die a painless death.
**[16:58] Raphtalia**
I apologize for my lack of strength.
**[17:01] Raphtalia**
But if you don't get out of my way,
I can't guarantee your safety.
**[17:05] Kazuki**
Is that your way of saying you might
"accidentally" kill me, bitch?
**[17:15] Raphtalia**
Powder Snow.
**[17:19] Kazuki**
My magic...
**[17:27] Kazuki**
You demi-humans are so weak.
**[17:29] Kazuki**
All that talk, and you can't even hurt me?
**[17:38] Kazuki**
These are copies of Byakko,
one of the Four Holy Beasts.
**[17:42] Raphtalia**
Four Holy Beasts? Guardians,
like the Spirit Tortoise?
**[17:46] Kazuki**
That doesn't matter!
**[17:48] Kazuki**
What matters is that they're
my servants in combat,
**[17:50] Kazuki**
the product of many long hours of research!
**[17:53] Raphtalia**
So you're going to do the
same thing Kyo does?
**[17:56] Kazuki**
Don't you dare say that asshole's name!
**[17:58] Kazuki**
Fine, then. You're Byakko's dinner tonight.
**[18:03] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry.
**[18:12] Kazuki**
The Byakko copies...
**[18:14] Kazuki**
Impossible...
**[18:16] Raphtalia**
The true Guardian Beast we fought
was much stronger than them.
**[18:23] Raphtalia**
There's still time to reconsider.
**[18:24] Raphtalia**
Please, just leave.
**[18:27] Kazuki**
I can't do that, fool!
**[18:30] Raphtalia**
Instant Blade: Mist.
**[18:40] Raphtalia**
Don't move, please.
**[18:42] Raphtalia**
If you do, you'll end up
like those poor tigers.
**[18:48] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama!
**[18:50] Kazuki**
You two! Kill her!
**[18:52] Kazuki**
And take back my vassal weapon!
**[18:55] Girl B**
No, Kazuki-sama! You must not move!
**[18:58] Raphtalia**
You want Kyo's favor that badly?
**[19:00] Kazuki**
No! I'm going to put one over on him,
**[19:04] Kazuki**
and I need the vassal weapon to do it!
**[19:06] Raphtalia**
When you see Kyo, tell him...
**[19:08] Raphtalia**
That the Shield Hero is coming
to take revenge for Ost-san.
**[19:13] Kazuki**
The Shield Hero?
**[19:14] Kazuki**
Wait, are you the demi-human
kid who was with him?
**[19:18] Kazuki**
Hey, wait!
**[19:20] Kazuki**
Please!
**[19:22] Kazuki**
That really belongs to me!
**[19:24] Kazuki**
It must've been a mistake
that you ended up with it!
**[19:27] Kazuki**
Hey, are you listening?
**[19:29] Kazuki**
Wait! Wait!
**[19:37] Raphtalia**
I used a little too much power, I guess.
**[19:50] Raphtalia**
My body won't...
**[20:00] Raphtalia**
*It seems this is the end.*
**[20:05] Raphtalia**
*Naofumi-sama...*
**[20:07] Raphtalia**
*I did my best, didn't I?*
**[20:14] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[20:25] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[20:31] Filo**
It still feels weak!
**[20:37] Kizuna**
Hunting Skill: Blood Flower Strike!
**[20:48] Kizuna**
Okay, that's done!
**[20:51] Raphtalia**
Kizuna-san!
**[20:54] Rishia**
Raphtalia-san!
**[20:56] Filo**
Onee-chan!
**[20:58] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san! Filo!
**[21:05] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[21:08] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I...
**[21:20] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama. Everyone.
**[21:23] Raphtalia**
Thank you for saving me.
**[21:29] Rishia**
Raphtalia-san, the crest on your chest...
**[21:32] Raphtalia**
Yes. It disappeared.
**[21:36] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, you're... you're free now.
**[21:42] Naofumi**
So...
**[21:46] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I've returned.
**[21:52] Naofumi**
Yeah. Welcome back.

**[00:03] Filo**
Look! I can fly!
**[00:07] Raphtalia**
That's great, Filo!
**[00:09] Raphtalia**
But you don't look like a filolial.
**[00:13] Naofumi**
She's lost a lot of her attack power.
**[00:16] Filo**
Where'd you get those clothes,
Raphtalia-oneechan?
**[00:19] Raphtalia**
Someone gave them to me.
**[00:22] Naofumi**
A miko outfit?
**[00:23] Raphtalia**
Miko?
**[00:25] Rishia**
You look great!
**[00:28] Raphtalia**
Who's that?
**[00:29] Naofumi**
A shikigami I made from your
hair to help find you.
**[00:34] Naofumi**
Its name is...
**[00:35] Naofumi**
Raph-chan!
**[00:37] Raphtalia**
Raph-chan?
**[00:43] Kizuna**
There are three days until the Wave.
**[00:46] Kizuna**
* I was originally summoned as*
* one of the Cardinal Heroes*
**[00:50] Kizuna**
* to defeat the king of monsters,*
* the Emperor Dragon.*
**[00:54] Kizuna**
*But Naofumi was summoned for another reason.*
**[00:57] Kizuna**
*We're both Cardinal Heroes,*
**[00:58] Kizuna**
* but he was summoned to another*
* world to fight the Waves.*
**[01:03] Kizuna**
*What are the Waves like?*
**[01:06] Kizuna**
*Can I fight like him?*
**[01:11] Kizuna**
What's wrong, Chris?
**[01:13] Glass**
Kizuna!
**[01:19] Kazuki**
Damn that thief!
**[01:21] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama, don't move!
**[01:23] Kazuki**
I won't let it end like this!
**[01:25] Kyo**
You certainly screwed that up, huh?
**[01:29] Kyo**
You go to get a body for
my experiment, and they escape.
**[01:33] Kyo**
You try to take the Katana Vassal
Weapon without telling me.
**[01:36] Kyo**
And then the girl you let escape steals it.
**[01:39] Kyo**
Man, you're a total failure.
**[01:41] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama, you must not move!
**[01:43] Kazuki**
I'll kill her!
**[01:45] Kazuki**
You just shut up and sit back—
**[01:52] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama! Kazuki-sama!
**[01:53] Kyo**
They told you not to move, dumbass.
**[01:56] Yomogi**
Kyo...
**[01:57] Yomogi**
What do we do with the Cardinal Hero
from another world and the Katana Hero?
**[02:04] Kyo**
Hmm. What should we do?
**[02:09] Kyo**
The Boat Vassal Weapon, huh?
**[02:12] Kyo**
They'll probably head back to
Sikul with that, the bastards.
**[02:16] Kyo**
They need to die, but I'm
busy with my experiments.
**[02:20] Yomogi**
I'll go.
**[02:22] Yomogi**
I will eliminate anyone
who stands in your way.

Glass... You're hurting me. Let me go...
**[04:07] Glass**
I finally... I finally found you!
**[04:11] Glass**
I'll never let you go!
**[04:14] Kizuna**
No, you're killing me...
**[04:18] Raphtalia**
I'm happy for you, Glass-san.
**[04:20] Glass**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Thank you.
***SIGN*** With your help, we were able to reunite Kizuna and Glass.
**[04:31] Naofumi**
I just went to find Raphtalia and Filo.
***SIGN*** I'm glad you found the people you care about, too.
**[04:41] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[04:43] Kizuna**
Oh, right!
**[04:45] Kizuna**
Naofumi told me something...
**[04:48] Kizuna**
He said you three went to his world?
**[04:53] Kizuna**
I kept meaning to ask!
**[04:55] Kizuna**
What were you doing there?
**[04:57] Glass**
Um, well... we were...
**[05:03] Kizuna**
What? What the hell were you thinking?
**[05:06] Kizuna**
You went when the Waves showed
up to try and kill them?
**[05:09] Kizuna**
That makes you the bad guys!
**[05:12] Therese**
Kizuna, don't get too mad at Glass.
**[05:15] Kizuna**
I'm mad at you two, too!
**[05:19] Therese**
Sorry.
**[05:21] L'Arc**
Oh, jeez.
**[05:23] Man**
Young master.
**[05:25] L'Arc**
I see.
**[05:26] L'Arc**
Sorry, Kizuna.
**[05:28] L'Arc**
We'll talk about this later!
**[05:30] L'Arc**
You guys enjoy yourselves!
**[05:32] Kizuna**
Hey, no running!
**[05:34] Naofumi**
"Young master"?
**[05:35] Naofumi**
And why's he acting like he owns the place?
**[05:38] Therese**
L'Arc is the young king of Sikul.
**[05:42] Rishia**
He's a king?
**[05:44] Naofumi**
I see. That's why he's the "young master."
**[05:46] Kizuna**
I'm mad at you too, Naofumi!
**[05:48] Kizuna**
Why didn't you tell me?
**[05:50] Naofumi**
It wasn't the right time.
**[05:52] Naofumi**
And I could tell that this
would happen if I did.
**[05:55] Kizuna**
What is wrong with all of you?
**[05:58] Kizuna**
So you thought if you killed the
Cardinal Heroes in Naofumi's world,
**[06:00] Kizuna**
you could save our world from the Waves?
**[06:03] Kizuna**
Is that even true?
**[06:05] Glass**
Well...
**[06:06] Kizuna**
Even if it is true, it was
wrong to rely on that!
**[06:12] Kizuna**
I'll find another way!
**[06:14] Kizuna**
There has to be a way to
save his world *and* ours!
**[06:20] Naofumi**
And if there isn't?
**[06:24] Naofumi**
What if there's no way for our worlds
to survive besides destroying each other?
**[06:29] Kizuna**
If that happens...
**[06:35] Kizuna**
I won't fight you!
**[06:38] Kizuna**
I don't want to fight you!
**[06:40] Kizuna**
I don't know how to avoid it yet,
**[06:44] Kizuna**
but I'll find a way!
**[06:46] Kizuna**
And if I don't find it, I'll look again!
**[06:48] Kizuna**
Will you look with me?
**[06:53] Kizuna**
While we look, I'll help
you beat this Kyo guy.
**[06:56] Kizuna**
I want to help you!
**[06:58] Kizuna**
So...
**[07:02] Naofumi**
Once we defeat him, we're heading home.
**[07:05] Naofumi**
There's not nearly enough time.
**[07:09] Naofumi**
When I get home, I'll look into what
I can find about the Waves again.
**[07:15] Kizuna**
Thank you, Naofumi.
**[07:24] Girl B**
You're telling the truth, right?
**[07:26] Girl B**
You can really bring him back?
**[07:29] Kyo**
Yeah, that's what I said.
**[07:32] Kyo**
Look.
**[07:35] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama!
**[07:36] Girl B**
I want to make the ones who
did this to him suffer!
**[07:41] Girl B**
Please, Kyo!
**[07:42] Girl B**
Give us power!
**[07:45] Kyo**
First you boss me around,
**[07:46] Kyo**
then you come to me for help?
**[07:48] Kyo**
You people really are shitheads.
**[07:51] Kyo**
But, well... you've got spirit, at least.
**[08:00] Kizuna**
If we're going to Kyo's
place to kick his butt,
**[08:02] Kizuna**
we need equipment!
**[08:05] L'Arc**
I'm glad it all worked out, lad!
**[08:09] Naofumi**
Yeah, after you ran away and left your
buddies behind, "Your Majesty."
**[08:13] Naofumi**
Or should I say, "young master"?
**[08:15] L'Arc**
Who told you?
**[08:17] L'Arc**
Therese?
**[08:18] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[08:19] Naofumi**
But I would've found out
at some point anyway.
**[08:22] Naofumi**
You seem popular, young master.
**[08:25] L'Arc**
Stop calling me that!
**[08:27] L'Arc**
It's embarrassing!
**[08:29] Naofumi**
Then stop calling me "lad."
**[08:31] L'Arc**
They're totally different things!
**[08:33] Naofumi**
How, exactly, "young master"?
**[08:34] L'Arc**
I said stop!
**[08:41] Kizuna**
Romina, you here?
**[08:43] Romina**
Kizuna? Where have you been?
**[08:46] Kizuna**
We can talk later! For now, get
me the best equipment you have!
**[08:50] Romina**
Sheesh. It's been years
and you haven't changed.
**[08:55] L'Arc**
Hey.
**[08:56] Romina**
You're all with her, huh?
**[08:58] Romina**
And...
**[09:03] Romina**
Something's going on, I see.
**[09:07] Romina**
The Katana Vassal Weapon?
**[09:10] Romina**
That's a dangerous thing to
be bringing into my shop.
**[09:13] Kizuna**
Well, I'll tell you how she
got it some other time.
**[09:16] Kizuna**
For now, it needs a sheath,
so she's not walking around with it bare.
**[09:20] Romina**
Well, you can't take one off the shelf.
**[09:22] Romina**
It needs to be custom made.
**[09:23] Kizuna**
And this, too!
**[09:25] Kizuna**
This is the equipment Naofumi and his
friends were using in their world.
**[09:29] Kizuna**
Can you do something about it?
**[09:30] Romina**
What is this stuff?
**[09:32] Romina**
Well, it'll be a fun story,
if nothing else. I'll do what I can.
**[09:36] Romina**
But it'll take a week.
**[09:37] Kizuna**
It needs to be done in a night!
**[09:39] Romina**
That's impossible!
**[09:41] Kizuna**
Please! Please! Please!
**[09:43] Raphtalia**
It's like watching you and the blacksmith.
**[09:47] Filo**
That's right!
**[09:52] Kizuna**
What's going on?
**[09:56] Kizuna**
You're...
**[09:59] Yomogi**
I'm Yomogi Emarl.
**[10:02] Yomogi**
I've come to kill you! For Kyo!
**[10:07] Kizuna**
For Kyo?
**[10:09] Yomogi**
That's right.
**[10:11] Yomogi**
I've come to deliver divine punishment to
the holders of the Cardinal and Vassal Weapons.
**[10:16] Yomogi**
How cowardly!
**[10:17] Yomogi**
You outnumber me so!
**[10:19] Kizuna**
Wait, didn't you attack us?
**[10:23] Naofumi**
Who is this?
**[10:24] Romina**
Can you do this outside town?
**[10:27] Yomogi**
You foul vermin!
**[10:29] Yomogi**
But I can't let you beat me!
**[10:31] Yomogi**
Die!
**[10:31] Filo**
Here I go!
**[10:36] Filo**
I'll help you with songs!
**[10:42] Rishia**
Thanks, Filo-chan!
**[10:47] Yomogi**
I came here alone!
**[10:49] Yomogi**
Shouldn't you try to fight me one-on-one?
**[10:52] Rishia**
You might be right!
**[10:54] Kizuna**
Don't agree with her!
**[10:58] Kizuna**
Huh? I knew it!
**[11:00] Naofumi**
Kizuna, fall back and provide
support or something!
**[11:02] Kizuna**
That's mean!
**[11:04] Yomogi**
This is fine, though.
**[11:05] Yomogi**
If I can kill you all here, it'll save
me from having to hunt you down later!
**[11:09] Yomogi**
I'll finish this here!
**[11:10] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, give her what she wants.
**[11:13] Raphtalia**
Understood.
**[11:14] Raphtalia**
Instant Blade: Mist!
**[11:16] Yomogi**
Thunder Sword!
**[11:22] Raphtalia**
That sword!
**[11:23] Yomogi**
I'm not done yet!
**[11:27] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[11:33] Raphtalia**
Directional Blade of Heaven!
**[11:37] Filo**
Wow! She's strong!
**[11:41] Yomogi**
I should have known I stood no chance
against your superior numbers.
**[11:44] Naofumi**
There's something I don't like
about the way you say that.
**[11:46] L'Arc**
Don't forget that those
numbers include us!
**[11:52] Romina**
Not in town!
**[11:56] Naofumi**
L'Arc!
**[11:59] L'Arc**
I enjoyed when we tried to kill each other,
**[12:01] L'Arc**
but it feels better to be fighting
on the same side, Naofumi.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
I'm fine with either, L'Arc.
**[12:08] L'Arc**
Yeah, right.
**[12:10] Therese**
Bejeweled Blizzard!
**[12:12] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse Four Seasons!
**[12:25] Naofumi**
Look. That sword...
**[12:27] Kizuna**
This doesn't look good.
**[12:30] Yomogi**
I can't... I can't lose here!
**[12:34] Kizuna**
Hey, um, Yomogi, was it?
**[12:36] Kizuna**
If you don't want to die,
you should throw away that sword!
**[12:40] Yomogi**
What a childish way to get me to surrender!
**[12:42] Yomogi**
Kyo made me this sword!
I won't let go of it!
**[12:45] L'Arc**
He made it? That's even worse!
**[12:50] Naofumi**
I don't want any part of whatever's
going to happen next.
**[12:51] L'Arc**
Agreed.
**[12:53] L'Arc**
Therese!
**[12:55] Therese**
Bejeweled Thunderstorm!
**[12:57] L'Arc**
Combo Skill: Thunderbolt Wheel Swing!
**[13:09] Yomogi**
What is this?
**[13:17] Kizuna**
That's not good!
**[13:18] Kizuna**
Bait Lure!
**[13:23] Kizuna**
Blood Flower Strike!
**[13:29] Glass**
Circle Dance Attack Formation: Flower Blizzard!
**[13:34] Naofumi**
Get down!
**[13:43] Yomogi**
Kill me!
**[13:44] Kizuna**
Wow, people really say that.
**[13:47] Kizuna**
You just saw for yourself, didn't you?
**[13:49] Kizuna**
I can't kill anyone.
**[13:53] Kizuna**
Looks like Kyo wanted to kill you,
and us, with that sword.
**[13:59] Yomogi**
That's impossible!
**[14:01] Yomogi**
Kyo wouldn't do that!
**[14:02] Naofumi**
Yeah? Sounds to me like exactly
the kind of thing he'd do.
**[14:06] Yomogi**
Shut up! You don't know anything about Kyo!
**[14:10] Yomogi**
He's just willing to make sacrifices
for his noble goal, that's all!
**[14:15] Kizuna**
And what is this "noble goal"?
**[14:19] Yomogi**
You're one of the Four Heroes, right?
**[14:22] Yomogi**
So you should know what Kyo wants.
**[14:25] Kizuna**
Nope. What is it?
**[14:28] Yomogi**
To stop the Waves.
**[14:35] Naofumi**
Kizuna, what are you going to do with her?
**[14:38] Kizuna**
Talk to her!
**[14:40] Kizuna**
She may give us a way to stop the Waves.
**[14:44] Glass**
But why bring her to our house?
**[14:47] Glass**
We could talk to her in the
castle's interrogation rooms.
**[14:50] Kizuna**
Do you think she'd tell us the truth
if we tried to talk to her there?
**[14:53] Kizuna**
I want her to know that we're not her enemies!
**[14:59] Naofumi**
We *are* her enemies!
**[15:01] Naofumi**
You only say that 'cause you
don't know what Kyo's done!
**[15:05] Kizuna**
I didn't see it happen,
but I know what you told me!
**[15:09] Kizuna**
What he's done is terrible, but...
**[15:13] Kizuna**
If he's like us...
**[15:15] Kizuna**
If he wants to save
the world from the Waves...
**[15:18] Kizuna**
We may be able to solve this
through talking, not fighting!
**[15:22] Naofumi**
No way!
**[15:23] Naofumi**
He doesn't care what happens to our world!
**[15:27] Naofumi**
That's why he killed Ost... and so many others!
**[15:31] Kizuna**
I know that!
**[15:33] Kizuna**
I just want to know the truth!
**[15:35] Kizuna**
About the Waves! And if there's a way to stop
the Waves without having to destroy your world!
**[15:43] Naofumi**
Fine.
**[15:45] Naofumi**
I'm going to keep getting ready
for the assault on Kyo's base.
**[15:48] Kizuna**
Yeah, go do that.
**[15:50] Naofumi**
Make sure you make her tell
us where his base is!
**[15:54] Kizuna**
Of course!
**[15:57] Kizuna**
Would you guys show Naofumi around the town?
**[16:01] Glass**
All right.
**[16:05] L'Arc**
You haven't gone crazy, have you?
**[16:08] Kizuna**
Of course not.
**[16:10] L'Arc**
Fine, then.
**[16:14] Kizuna**
Sit down and relax.
**[16:18] Kizuna**
It's been years since I've been back.
**[16:22] Kizuna**
It's so clean!
**[16:24] Kizuna**
The others must've kept it up.
**[16:32] Kizuna**
Here you go.
**[16:34] Kizuna**
Huh? You can sit down.
**[16:36] Yomogi**
I'm surprised.
**[16:38] Yomogi**
I wondered what the fortress
of Kyo's foes would look like.
**[16:43] Yomogi**
But it's completely normal.
**[16:45] Kizuna**
Sit down.
**[16:52] Yomogi**
It's different in many ways,
but reminds me of home.
**[16:56] Kizuna**
I see.
**[16:57] Yomogi**
The place Kyo and I grew up.
**[17:01] Kizuna**
You don't have to tell me
anything you don't want to.
**[17:03] Kizuna**
But would you tell me about you and Kyo?
**[17:08] Yomogi**
Kyo and I were childhood friends.
**[17:14] Yomogi**
He was always a strange child.
**[17:18] Yomogi**
He never played with anyone.
He wore strange clothes.
**[17:21] Yomogi**
But when I talked to him, he would
tell me all kinds of things.
**[17:26] Yomogi**
About his books. His country. The Waves.
**[17:30] Kizuna**
The Waves, too?
**[17:32] Yomogi**
Yes.
**[17:33] Yomogi**
Kyo showed his genius from an early age.
**[17:36] Yomogi**
He would look up anything he wanted to
know on his own. He knew everything.
**[17:41] Yomogi**
I took a liking to him,
and learned many things myself.
**[17:46] Yomogi**
As I started to learn from him,
to hear what he had to say,
**[17:50] Yomogi**
I started to want to help him.
**[17:54] Yomogi**
I'm not smart like him, though, so all
I could do was be his bodyguard.
**[17:59] Yomogi**
I know more than anybody
else what he's like.
**[18:02] Yomogi**
I've seen him go too far, and ignored it.
**[18:05] Kizuna**
For his "noble goal" of stopping the Waves?
**[18:10] Yomogi**
Yes. But their faces when
they say his name...
**[18:15] Yomogi**
Did he do something to make
them hate him so much?
**[18:19] Yomogi**
Is he doing things that would
put him beyond redemption,
**[18:21] Yomogi**
in a place where I can't see?
**[18:24] Yomogi**
If that's true, even if we stop
the Waves, it won't matter!
**[18:28] Yomogi**
If that's true, I want to stop him.
**[18:32] Kizuna**
Then I can help you.
**[18:35] Kizuna**
We're fighting not to
defeat him, but to talk to him.
**[18:39] Yomogi**
Thank you.
**[18:40] Yomogi**
But he must be made to atone for his sins.
**[18:45] Kizuna**
You're sure?
**[18:46] Kizuna**
He's your... childhood friend, right?
**[18:50] Yomogi**
That's why he has to atone!
**[18:51] Yomogi**
I'll suffer alongside him,
**[18:53] Yomogi**
even if we're put to death!
**[18:57] Kizuna**
I see.
**[19:01] Romina**
I did what you said, and finished
it all in a single night.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
The crystal on the chest
seems bigger than before.
***SIGN*** Barbaroi Armor +2
**[19:11] Romina**
I combined it with the crystal from
the Emperor Dragon you defeated.
**[19:14] Romina**
Now you should be able to
use your armor here, too.
**[19:19] Romina**
I used the bones and skin of the Emperor Dragon
and Guardian Beast to make that armor.
**[19:24] Romina**
It was hard to get them to work, you know.
**[19:26] Naofumi**
What's an "Emperor Dragon?"
**[19:28] Kizuna**
The king of monsters, which I defeated.
**[19:31] Kizuna**
Its materials are used in
my weapon and Glass's, too.
**[19:34] Naofumi**
Wow.
**[19:35] Raphtalia**
Thank you.
**[19:39] Romina**
I tailored that outfit to
fit the bird girl, too.
**[19:42] Romina**
It should increase her attack power.
**[19:44] Naofumi**
You're right.
***SIGN*** Filo Pajamas
**[19:46] Naofumi**
With this, Filo can fight again.
**[19:49] Kizuna**
Wow!
**[19:50] Kizuna**
Great job, Romina.
**[19:51] Romina**
You'll say "wow" when you see the bill, too.
**[19:56] Kizuna**
Here you go, L'Arc-niisan.
**[19:58] L'Arc**
Why?
**[19:59] Kizuna**
Your nation's in danger, too.
**[20:01] Kizuna**
The young master of Sikul
needs to be the one to pay.
**[20:05] L'Arc**
Romina! Send the bill to the castle!
**[20:08] Naofumi**
It's hard being the king, huh, young master?
**[20:10] L'Arc**
Don't call me that, lad!
**[20:12] Kizuna**
If something goes wrong,
I'll use my portal skill,
**[20:14] Kizuna**
Return Codex, to jump with you.
**[20:17] Yomogi**
Okay.
**[20:21] Glass**
If we can stop Kyo, we may
be able to avert war.
**[20:27] Therese**
Yes, the next Wave is
almost here. It's okay—
**[20:30] Therese**
We have to do something.
**[20:32] Kizuna**
Well, we've got a little
time left. We'll be fine.
**[20:36] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[20:37] Kizuna**
The Wave countdown...
**[20:43] Kyo**
Different worlds, ruled by different laws...
**[20:46] Kyo**
Shatter their different barriers
and manifest its power here!
**[20:55] Kyo**
It's finally complete!
**[20:57] Kyo**
The Wave of Calamity, Dimension Wave!
**[21:04] Glass**
What is this?
**[21:05] L'Arc**
Don't tell me...
**[21:07] Therese**
Impossible!
**[21:08] Therese**
There was still time on the timer!
**[21:11] Naofumi**
This can't be happening...
**[21:13] Naofumi**
Kizuna!
**[21:14] Kizuna**
Naofumi!
**[21:34] Kizuna**
Yomogi-san?
**[21:37] Yomogi**
That's... Kyo's lab!
**[21:42] Yomogi**
He wasn't trying to stop the Waves!
**[21:45] Yomogi**
He was... he was trying to create one!
**[21:53] Kizuna**
So this...
**[21:57] Kizuna**
is what Naofumi, Glass, and the
others were fighting... the Waves!

*Before I was summoned to another world,*

***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[01:35] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-san, this is...
***SIGN*** Episode 12 Reason to Fight
**[01:37] Naofumi**
Yes! That's a Wave!
**[01:40] Raphtalia**
Then the others...
**[01:42] Naofumi**
They were sent to the Wave because they're this
world's Cardinal Heroes and their followers.
**[01:47] Raphtalia**
No...
**[01:48] Naofumi**
There was still time!
**[01:50] Naofumi**
Why?
**[01:52] Filo**
Look, Master!
***SIGN*** Get in, everyone!
**[02:02] Naofumi**
Where are the others?
***SIGN*** They stayed to help with the Waves.
**[02:09] Yomogi**
It's all Kyo's doing...
**[02:12] Yomogi**
He used the power he stole from the
Spirit Tortoise to create a Wave!
**[02:21] Naofumi**
You knew, and you still helped him?
**[02:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[02:29] Yomogi**
But I didn't think he'd do this!
**[02:34] Yomogi**
I thought he'd use the Spirit Tortoise's power
to protect this world from the Waves!
**[02:43] Naofumi**
So, what are you even doing here?
**[02:47] Yomogi**
Kizuna told me...
**[02:50] Yomogi**
they'd handle the Waves.
**[02:53] Yomogi**
And that I should help you instead.
**[02:56] Yomogi**
Kizuna believed in me,
even though I'm a fool.
**[03:01] Yomogi**
For her sake, I will throw aside my
pride and bring the Shield Hero to Kyo!
***SIGN*** As the Wielder of the Boat Vassal Weapon, I will bring you to Kyo.
**[03:13] Naofumi**
All right.
**[03:15] Naofumi**
Take me to where that bastard's waiting!
**[03:20] Kizuna**
Bait Lure!
**[03:24] Glass**
Blank-Stance Rondo: Moon Break!
**[03:32] Kizuna**
Thanks, Glass!
**[03:33] Glass**
It was nothing...
**[03:35] L'Arc**
They just keep coming!
**[03:37] L'Arc**
How do we stop this?
**[03:39] Glass**
We may need to defeat Kyo,
the one who summoned it!
**[03:45] Kizuna**
Naofumi...
**[03:49] Naofumi**
This is it?
**[03:52] Yomogi**
Kyo's lab.
**[03:55] Naofumi**
Thank you, Ethnobalt!
**[03:57] Naofumi**
We'll handle the rest!
**[04:00] Naofumi**
The others have seen
the Waves, but Kizuna hasn't.
**[04:04] Naofumi**
She'll feel a lot better with you there.
***SIGN*** All right.
***SIGN*** Stay safe, everyone!
**[04:11] Rishia**
You too, Ethnobalt!
**[04:18] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[04:23] Naofumi**
These are all used in
Kyo's experiments, huh?
**[04:27] Yomogi**
Yes, that's right.
**[04:33] Girl B**
Vengeance... Vengeance for Kazuki-sama!
**[04:37] Raphtalia**
These are...
**[04:39] Yomogi**
Chimeras?
**[04:40] Yomogi**
A fusion of a human and a Byakko copy?
**[04:44] Yomogi**
Kyo!
**[04:48] Rishia**
That's...
**[04:49] Rishia**
The same sword Yomogi-san was using?
**[04:52] Girl B**
We'll defeat you...
**[04:54] Girl B**
If we defeat you, Kazuki-sama will come back!
**[04:57] Girl B**
Kyo promised us!
**[05:00] Naofumi**
So he talked them into
being sacrificial pawns?
**[05:04] Naofumi**
Like he did with you?
**[05:06] Yomogi**
Stop...
**[05:07] Yomogi**
That won't bring your master back!
**[05:13] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry, but...
**[05:15] Raphtalia**
We don't have time to waste here!
**[05:25] Girl B**
It only took an instant?
**[05:27] Raphtalia**
I think it's because of the
jewel that Therese-san gave me!
**[05:31] Naofumi**
It gives you the same power
as Filo's High Quick?
**[05:35] Filo**
I'm fast, too!
**[05:40] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama...
**[05:43] Girl B**
For Kazuki-sama...
**[05:47] Naofumi**
No!
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[05:49] Naofumi**

**[05:51] Naofumi**

**[06:07] Naofumi**
Are you guys okay?
**[06:08] Raphtalia**
Yes!
**[06:09] Rishia**
I think so...
**[06:12] Filo**
It's so dusty!
**[06:18] Kyo**
Well, so much for this lab!
**[06:22] Kyo**
But you still screwed it up,
like everybody else.
**[06:26] Kyo**
You're all useless.
**[06:27] Yomogi**
Kyo!
**[06:28] Kyo**
Hey there, Shield Shithead!
**[06:31] Kyo**
I'm not happy at all to see you again.
**[06:34] Naofumi**
Agreed.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
But coming here was the
only way to kick your ass.
**[06:45] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama! Kazuki-sama!
**[06:49] Kyo**
See! I brought him back!
**[06:53] Yomogi**
That's impossible...
**[06:56] Naofumi**
A mirror?
**[06:58] Yomogi**
He didn't come back to life!
**[07:01] Yomogi**
That's a homunculus Kyo made!
**[07:05] Yomogi**
The soul that dwelled in his
body during life is gone!
**[07:09] Yomogi**
The body is empty!
**[07:11] Yomogi**
He forced the soul of the Wielder of
the Mirror Vassal Weapon into it!
**[07:17] Naofumi**
What?
**[07:18] Rishia**
The Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon?
The one who went missing?
**[07:24] Kyo**
Spoiler warning, bitch.
**[07:28] Yomogi**
No blood flows through his veins.
His soul is a different person's.
**[07:32] Yomogi**
That isn't the comrade they love!
**[07:37] Girl B**
No... No!
**[07:41] Kyo**
Well, there you go.
**[07:43] Kyo**
Have fun dying against a dead guy, morons!
**[07:48] Naofumi**
I won't let you get away!
**[07:52] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[07:54] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I can handle this.
**[07:56] Raphtalia**
I can hear the voice of the
Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon.
**[08:00] Raphtalia**
He's begging to be released.
**[08:02] Yomogi**
I get it...
**[08:04] Yomogi**
The Vassal Weapon Wielders are resonating!
**[08:08] Yomogi**
Go, Shield Hero!
**[08:10] Yomogi**
And stop Kyo!
**[08:13] Filo**
I'll help!
**[08:15] Naofumi**
Okay!
**[08:17] Naofumi**
Let's go, Rishia!
**[08:19] Rishia**
Um... okay!
**[08:31] Filo**
Wow!
**[08:32] Filo**
I can fight like I did before!
**[08:42] Filo**
What is that?
**[08:43] Yomogi**
As someone who helped Kyo,
**[08:46] Yomogi**
is it my duty to put their
suffering to an end?
**[08:51] Raphtalia**
I'll liberate you now.
**[08:55] Naofumi**
Kyo!
**[09:05] Kyo**
Finally!
**[09:07] Kyo**
It's finally just the two of you!
**[09:10] Kyo**
The green-haired moron
and the Shield Shithead!
**[09:13] Kyo**
You're the two that I need to kill myself!
**[09:19] Naofumi**
So you caused that last
Wave using Ost's power?
**[09:24] Kyo**
Of course I did!
**[09:25] Kyo**
Can't you tell?
**[09:27] Kyo**
This is all that turtle's power!
**[09:30] Kyo**
I used a lot of it,
**[09:32] Kyo**
but I can just go back to
your world and get more!
**[09:38] Kyo**
Oh, but I guess the stupid turtle is dead.
**[09:42] Kyo**
So what's the other one again?
Some kind of big bird?
**[09:45] Naofumi**
Shut up.
**[09:48] Kyo**
I can't hear you—
**[09:49] Naofumi**
*Shut up*!
**[09:55] Naofumi**
I'm sick of you.
**[09:58] Naofumi**
Sick of hearing your voice, sick of
seeing that smirk on your face...
**[10:01] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[10:04] Naofumi**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[10:06] Naofumi**
Coming into our world and treating
it like it's your toy!
**[10:12] Kyo**
Right now, you're the ones in my world.
**[10:16] Kyo**
So it's "our world" now?
**[10:18] Kyo**
Guess you really are the Shield Hero now!
**[10:24] Kyo**
Yes! That's it!
**[10:26] Kyo**
That face is what I wanted to see!
**[10:29] Kyo**
I loved what I saw when I took
the demi-human girl from you!
**[10:35] Kyo**
Shame things with the bird
girl didn't work out!
**[10:38] Kyo**
She was supposed to be fried chicken
by the time you found her!
**[10:43] Kyo**
And all of that's what you get for
playing the hero and ruining my plan!
**[10:53] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[10:55] Kyo**
How do you feel right now?
**[10:57] Kyo**
Angry? Pissed off?
**[10:59] Kyo**
Ready to rip me in half?
**[11:01] Kyo**
I bet you do, don't you?
**[11:03] Kyo**
Don't you? Don't you?!
**[11:05] Naofumi**
Yeah, that's right!
**[11:07] Naofumi**
You messed with my friends!
**[11:10] Naofumi**
Now shut up, so I can kill you!
**[11:13] Kyo**
Just try it!
**[11:20] Rishia**
Naofumi-san! You can't use that!
**[11:23] Naofumi**
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
**[11:28] Naofumi**
Within the dragon's jaws born from my flesh,
**[11:31] Naofumi**
become an offering to the gods as you howl!
**[11:34] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[11:37] Dragon**
So you chose to use it.
**[11:43] Dragon**
You chose to call me, Iwatani Naofumi!
**[11:48] Dragon**
Now I will become one with you!
**[11:58] Kyo**
Haha! Look at this loser!
***SIGN*** Wrath Shield
**[12:01] Kyo**
He got so mad he let his
shield take him over!
**[12:04] Kyo**
"Friends"? You expect me
to believe that bullshit?
**[12:08] Kyo**
You control them with the Slave
Crest and Monster Crest.
**[12:12] Kyo**
If they really were your "friends,"
you wouldn't need to enslave them!
**[12:16] Rishia**
No!
**[12:17] Rishia**
Naofumi-san is...
**[12:18] Kyo**
The fact that you helped your slaves get a
bit stronger doesn't change a thing, you idiot!
**[12:26] Rishia**
Naofumi-san, stay in control!
**[12:31] Naofumi**
So what?
**[12:34] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[12:36] Naofumi**
Both Raphtalia and Filo
were useless at first!
**[12:41] Naofumi**
But now they're useful!
**[12:44] Naofumi**
That's why I keep them around!
**[12:46] Naofumi**
What's wrong with that?
**[12:49] Naofumi**
But what the hell are you?
**[12:52] Naofumi**
You disgusting slut!
**[12:55] Naofumi**
You pissed me off just as much as Kyo!
**[13:00] Naofumi**
Why am I stuck taking care of a girl whose
life goal was to get into the Bow Hero's pants?
**[13:10] Naofumi**
Ugly whore!
**[13:13] Naofumi**
I'll kill you first!
**[13:18] Rishia**
I finally heard what you really think.
**[13:23] Rishia**
I always wondered what
you thought about me.
**[13:31] Rishia**
I'm okay with that.
**[13:35] Rishia**
But... Raphtalia-san and Filo-chan
are different, right?
**[13:40] Rishia**
Sure, maybe you were using them at first.
**[13:45] Rishia**
But who could blame you?
**[13:48] Rishia**
There were things you had to do, even if
it meant making them your slaves!
**[13:57] Rishia**
They understand that!
**[14:00] Rishia**
And they know that it's different now!
**[14:05] Rishia**
That you think of us as treasured friends.
**[14:11] Rishia**
So Ost-san also...
**[14:17] Rishia**
I don't know who you are,
but get out of Naofumi-san!
**[14:29] Kyo**
What are you doing?
**[14:32] Kyo**
You're ruining my show!
**[14:36] Kyo**
Forget it.
**[14:37] Kyo**
I'll just kill him while he's in crazy mode.
**[14:40] Kyo**
But of course, you'll die first!
**[14:50] Kyo**
Again? Damn it!
**[15:01] Rishia**
So even after all this, you're still
relying on the Spirit Tortoise's power?
**[15:05] Rishia**
You're weak!
**[15:07] Kyo**
What... What are you?
**[15:12] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[15:13] Rishia**
Wake up! Naofumi-san!
**[15:19] Kyo**
You *bitch*!
**[15:26] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[15:30] Dragon**
What's wrong?
**[15:31] Dragon**
Don't let that woman's words deceive you!
**[15:34] Naofumi**
No, you're the one trying to deceive me!
**[15:38] Dragon**
I'm making you an offer!
**[15:40] Dragon**
As a Cardinal Hero, it's your
task to fight the Waves!
**[15:45] Naofumi**
My task?
**[15:47] Dragon**
And for that, you need my power!
**[15:51] Dragon**
My power, which burns everything!
**[15:54] Naofumi**
Burns everything...
**[15:57] Dragon**
Yes. That's right...
**[16:03] Ost**
I told you, didn't I, Shield Hero?
**[16:06] Ost**
You don't need these flames.
**[16:09] Naofumi**
Ost?
**[16:11] Ost**
Do you intend to use those
flames to kill my friends?
**[16:16] Ost**
You decide what your task is.
**[16:25] Ost**
Now stand up.
**[16:30] Ost**
Everybody's waiting!
**[16:41] Naofumi**
Raphtalia... Filo?
**[16:51] Naofumi**
Rishia!
**[16:55] Kyo**
What?
**[16:57] Kyo**
Damn it!
**[17:00] Kyo**
I'll burn you all to ash!
**[17:03] Kyo**
Forbidden Tome: Revelation!
**[17:06] Kyo**
Die!
**[17:16] Kyo**
I bet I can keep this
up longer than you can!
**[17:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[17:24] Filo**
Master!
**[17:26] Naofumi**
Thanks, Raphtalia! Filo!
**[17:31] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[17:32] Naofumi**
You too, Rishia!
**[17:34] Naofumi**
You stopped the Wrath Shield,
and my anger, from taking me over!
**[17:39] Naofumi**
But this anger, this pain, this sorrow...
**[17:43] Naofumi**
I have to accept it and move forward!
**[17:48] Kyo**
The Mirror Vassal Weapon?
**[17:51] Naofumi**
Ost was right!
**[17:53] Naofumi**
I'll decide my task!
**[17:57] Naofumi**
Kyo Ethnina!
**[17:59] Naofumi**
Sorry for playing hero
and ruining your plans.
**[18:04] Naofumi**
I'm sure you had your reasons
for thinking this was right...
**[18:08] Naofumi**
So I'm not doing this for the sake of
some great task or for what's right!
**[18:13] Naofumi**
I'm doing it for myself!
Of my own free will!
**[18:16] Naofumi**
I will defeat you!
**[18:31] Kyo**
Great!
**[18:32] Kyo**
Enjoy your victory!
**[18:35] Kyo**
Guys like you always end up looking
like fools in the end!
**[18:40] Kyo**
As you'll find out soon!
**[18:59] Naofumi**
This is...
**[19:10] Raphtalia**
Ost-san?
**[19:13] Yomogi**
Shield Hero... and his followers!
**[19:18] Yomogi**
Thank you... for defeating Kyo!
**[19:23] Kizuna**
Hey! Hey!
**[19:34] Kizuna**
I see.
**[19:35] Kizuna**
So Kyo's dead, huh?
**[19:38] L'Arc**
We found the missing Mirror Vassal Weapon, too.
**[19:41] L'Arc**
We won't have to worry
about the war for now.
**[19:43] Therese**
Now it's time for the king to show
us what he can do, huh, L'Arc?
**[19:46] Naofumi**
Good luck with that, young master.
**[19:48] L'Arc**
Stop calling me that, lad!
**[19:50] Glass**
What will you do now, Naofumi?
**[19:53] Naofumi**
I don't know.
**[19:54] Naofumi**
I thought that I had to ride the
Wave home, the same way you did.
**[19:58] Kizuna**
But now it's gone.
**[20:00] Kizuna**
And there's about...
a month until the next one.
**[20:04] Kizuna**
Why not relax here a little until it comes?
**[20:06] Naofumi**
I guess I don't have a choice.
**[20:08] L'Arc**
Sounds great!
**[20:10] L'Arc**
Let's head back to the
castle and have a banquet!
**[20:12] Kizuna**
Sounds great!
**[20:14] Kizuna**
Let's go fishing, too!
**[20:16] Kizuna**
I was hoping we could—
**[20:19] Kizuna**
Naofumi?
***SIGN*** Mission Complete

**[20:20] Naofumi**
Looks like we can go home after all.
**[20:24] Naofumi**
There's not even a minute left.
**[20:27] Raphtalia**
Thank you for everything!
**[20:28] Rishia**
Um, let's meet again!
**[20:31] Filo**
Bye!
**[20:33] Kizuna**
Wait!
**[20:34] Kizuna**
What about the fishing? And the banquet?
**[20:37] L'Arc**
Don't be ridiculous, Kizuna.
**[20:40] Kizuna**
No...
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Well, I kind of saw it coming.
**[20:43] Kizuna**
Naofumi, you jerk!
**[20:46] Kizuna**
I haven't even thanked you!
**[20:53] Kizuna**
Thank you.
**[20:54] Kizuna**
Thank you, Naofumi!
**[20:56] Kizuna**
As one of the Cardinal Heroes,
I'll do my best here!
**[21:00] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[21:02] Kizuna**
Can I come see you sometimes?
**[21:05] Kizuna**
I mean, I don't know if I even can.
**[21:07] Naofumi**
Yeah. You're welcome, as long as
you're not coming to kill me.
**[21:10] Kizuna**
Dummy... You know I wouldn't...
**[21:13] Naofumi**
See you around, Kizuna.
**[21:25] Kizuna**
Up until the last minute, Naofumi was...
**[22:33] Naofumi**
*After I returned home,*
**[22:36] Naofumi**
* I was given a medal by the queen*
* for defeating the Spirit Tortoise,*
**[22:40] Naofumi**
*and the title of viscount.*
**[22:44] Naofumi**
* I heard later that at the time the*
* Wave appeared in Kizuna's world,*
**[22:49] Naofumi**
*another appeared here.*
**[22:53] Naofumi**
* While we were gone, Motoyasu, Ren,*
* and Itsuki worked hard to defeat it.*
**[23:00] Naofumi**
*Maybe they just wanted to restore their names*
**[23:03] Naofumi**
* after how useless they were*
* against the Spirit Tortoise.*
**[23:08] Naofumi**
* But the Waves, the other world... there are*
* more and more problems to deal with.*
**[23:14] Naofumi**
* And then there's the Phoenix, the*
* next Guardian Beast to awaken.*
**[23:19] Naofumi**
* It's hard to stay positive with*
* so many challenges awaiting us.*
**[23:25] Naofumi**
* But I know that as long as I have*
* my friends, I can keep this world safe.*
**[23:30] Naofumi**
*At least, that's how it feels.*
**[23:33] Naofumi**
*Because I'm...*

**[00:20] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[00:21] Filo**
Yeah.
**[00:22] Filo**
Softly...
**[00:38] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun's going to be mad
that he didn't get to go.
**[00:42] Naofumi**
I left Eclair and the old
woman in charge of that.
**[00:45] Naofumi**
They'll convince him.
**[00:47] Rishia**
"Have fun for us, since we
can't be there," she said.
**[00:52] Raphtalia**
I see.
**[00:54] Filo**
Look! Look!
***SIGN*** Illustration: Suwa Masahiro
**[01:41] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[01:45] Filo**
I can't fly anymore!
**[01:47] Naofumi**
You could fly when you were a
humming fairy in Kizuna's world.
**[01:52] Raphtalia**
But filolials can't fly.
**[01:57] Filo**
Then let's go see Kizuna-oneechan!
**[02:00] Naofumi**
That's impossible.
**[02:02] Raphtalia**
Do you think Kizuna-san's doing well?
**[02:05] Naofumi**
Sure.
**[02:07] Naofumi**
She's probably doing the same thing we are.
**[02:13] Naofumi**
You should've learned survival
skills from Kizuna too, Rishia.
**[02:17] Rishia**
Right!
**[02:18] Rishia**
I was just thinking the same thing!
**[02:21] Naofumi**
I bet she could start a fire easily.
**[02:28] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[02:30] Raphtalia**
I just remembered how, when my level
went back to 1 and I shrank,
**[02:34] Raphtalia**
we all had a fun time picking
out clothes in Mikakage.
**[02:39] Rishia**
Oh, right!
**[02:53] (Flashback) Kizuna**
First, let's get you armor and clothes.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Your defense and fashion sense are
both seriously in doubt right now.
**[03:10] (Flashback) Naofumi**
It looks like they've got both
western and eastern-style weapons.
**[03:13] (Flashback) Naofumi**
If we want to fit in here,
eastern is the better choice.
**[03:28] (Flashback) Kizuna**
What are you doing?
**[03:31] (Flashback) Kizuna**
They've got clothes, too, not just armor!
**[03:35] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
That's right.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I'd like to try on a bunch of
different things, but I'm not sure if I can.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Kizuna**
You're pretty into this.
**[03:45] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Well, you're a girl. You want to look good.
**[03:52] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Oh!
**[03:55] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Wh-What?
**[03:56] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Nothing.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Kizuna**
How about Kizuna-oneechan gives you a hand?
**[04:05] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
K-Kizuna-san?
**[04:08] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Help me dress her, Rishia-san.
**[04:12] (Flashback) Rishia**
Dress her?
**[04:14] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Rishia-san, hold her there.
**[04:16] (Flashback) Rishia**
L-Like this?
**[04:17] (Flashback) Kizuna**
No! Tighter!
**[04:20] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
It h-hurts!
**[04:23] (Flashback) Kizuna**
It's done!
**[04:24] (Flashback) Rishia**
You look like a foreign princess!
**[04:27] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
But it doesn't seem like
it's meant for combat.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Kizuna**
You're right.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Kizuna**
But if we just... pull it up!
**[04:37] (Flashback) Rishia**
Kizuna-san, that’s not a good idea!
**[04:40] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Since Naofumi's a lolicon,
I think he'd totally go for it!
**[04:44] (Flashback) Rishia & Raphtalia**
Lolicon?
**[04:45] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Okay, next.
**[04:47] (Flashback) Kizuna**
This is the "samurai protecting her home
from foreign barbarians" style.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Rishia**
Samurai?
**[04:52] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
It's too heavy.
**[04:53] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Yeah, makes sense.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Next! Traditional maid style!
**[04:58] (Flashback) Rishia**
It's cute!
**[05:00] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
But this is for a servant girl, right?
**[05:02] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Next!
**[05:09] (Flashback) Kizuna**
This would be great for playing in rivers!
**[05:12] (Flashback) Rishia**
Wh-Why am I changing, too?
**[05:14] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Stop messing around, please!
**[05:16] (Flashback) Rishia**
Oh, that's great!
**[05:18] (Flashback) Kizuna**
A combination of cuteness and mobility,
**[05:20] (Flashback) Kizuna**
with just a hint of healthy eroticism!
**[05:24] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I like it!
**[05:27] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Me, too! I think it's great!
**[05:30] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Okay, that settles it!
**[05:33] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Thank you, Kizuna-san! Rishia-san!
**[05:36] (Flashback) Rishia**
No, I-I just helped you dress.
**[05:42] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Hopefully Naofumi likes it.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Yeah...
**[05:49] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Nice! You all look great!
**[05:52] (Flashback) Naofumi**
You don't need any new items?
**[05:54] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'm fine as I am.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Naofumi**
That haori's a mess.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Glass gave it to me, though.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Naofumi**
I see... Sorry.
**[06:06] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, do you think
this looks good on me?
**[06:09] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Yeah, seems fine.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Naofumi**
And you look like a ninja girl, Rishia.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Rishia**
Ninja girl?
**[06:15] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, wh-who do you think's
the best out of all of us?
**[06:20] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Hmm... mine has the highest defense stat.
**[06:29] Kizuna**
*Man, Naofumi's dense as a rock, huh?*
**[06:40] Kizuna**
But Raphtalia-chan doesn't seem to mind.
**[06:44] Kizuna**
I can't figure out what's
going on between those two.
**[06:48] Yomogi**
I see. So the Shield Hero and
the Katana Vassal Weapon Hero
**[06:52] Yomogi**
have an extraordinary relationship, then.
**[06:54] Kizuna**
I'm not sure "extraordinary" is
the right word, but... yeah.
**[06:59] Kizuna**
Oh, sorry to make you listen to my story
when we're supposed to be just fishing.
**[07:06] Yomogi**
No, you're working so hard to repair
relations between Ruware and the other nations.
**[07:12] Yomogi**
Going fishing with you is
nothing compared to that.
**[07:15] Kizuna**
It's my job!
**[07:18] Yomogi**
If anything, I'd like to
hear more of your stories.
**[07:22] Kizuna**
Really?
**[07:24] Kizuna**
Sure, if you're sure it doesn't bore you.
**[07:26] Yomogi**
Can you tell me about your time
in the Infinite Labyrinth, then?
**[07:32] Yomogi**
I heard that being sent there means death.
**[07:36] Yomogi**
But you say you survived
there for years, all alone!
**[07:41] Kizuna**
Oh... I guess I did.
**[07:46] Yomogi**
What was your life like inside?
**[08:06] (Flashback) Kizuna**
You're kidding me.
**[08:09] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'm supposed to stay here
the rest of my life?
**[08:13] (Flashback) Kizuna**
L'Arc-niisan... Therese-neesan...
**[08:17] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Glass...
**[08:28] Kizuna**
*I refuse to stay here forever!*
**[08:31] Kizuna**
*There has to be an exit somewhere!*
**[08:33] Kizuna**
*I'll look everywhere I can! And I'll find it!*
**[08:40] (Flashback) Kizuna**
First, I need to eat.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Maybe fish... Are there fish?
**[08:49] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Yes!
**[08:52] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Next, I need some fire!
**[08:54] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Time for some human ingenuity!
**[09:01] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Should I cook it right over the heat?
**[09:03] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Maybe steam it?
**[09:10] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Maybe some fish stew?
**[09:12] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I need to make broth, too.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Maybe cook it in a salt crust!
**[09:22] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Really, you can do anything
if you've got fire!
**[09:31] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'm sick of this.
**[09:34] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Solo camping sucks!
**[09:35] (Flashback) Kizuna**
It's no fun at all if you
don't have some food variety!
**[09:39] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'm getting out of here!
**[09:48] (Flashback) Kizuna**
If I go out to the horizon,
I might find the exit!
**[10:04] (Flashback) Kizuna**
What is this?
**[10:06] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Does the ocean stop here?
**[10:08] (Flashback) Kizuna**
What's going on?
**[10:14] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Fine...
**[10:20] (Flashback) Kizuna**
They don't taste that good
either stewed or fried.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Do I really need any seasoning?
**[11:01] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I know I can get salt by boiling seawater.
**[11:05] (Flashback) Kizuna**
But it's boring to make.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Kizuna**
"No, if I'm willing to kill myself,
I should be willing to make some salt"?
**[11:12] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Sure, that's true, but...
**[11:15] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Fine. Don't look at me like that.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'll try it. I'll try it.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Just adding the salt before
cooking makes it look delicious!
**[11:34] (Flashback) Kizuna**
It's great! This is great!
**[11:36] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Does just adding salt make
this much of a difference?
**[11:41] (Flashback) Kizuna**
You look so smug.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Kizuna**
But yeah.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'll try making other stuff.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Sweet stuff, or spicy stuff!
**[12:15] Kizuna**
When I saw the light that meant Naofumi
and the others had fallen from the sky...
**[12:19] Kizuna**
Time stopped standing still
and started moving again.
**[12:23] Kizuna**
That's how it felt.
**[12:29] Kizuna**
That's the end of that story.
**[12:32] Yomogi**
So you survived several years in the Infinite
Labyrinth thanks to your partner, then.
**[12:39] Kizuna**
Partner?
**[12:42] Yomogi**
The ball with the face you drew on it.
**[12:49] Yomogi**
You didn't take your partner with you?
**[12:52] Kizuna**
Um, well... Uh...
**[12:57] Yomogi**
That ball was to you what Kyo was to me.
**[13:01] Kizuna**
Um... what?
**[13:04] Yomogi**
Lately, I try to remember
his face, and I can't.
**[13:10] Yomogi**
It's strange... We were together
ever since we were little.
**[13:15] Yomogi**
But every time I try to remember him,
his face in his last moments is what I see.
**[13:20] Yomogi**
And I just can't take it.
**[13:26] Kizuna**
Try not to remember the
painful things. Remember the fun ones.
**[13:31] Yomogi**
What do you mean?
**[13:33] Kizuna**
Remember the times you were
happy or had fun with him.
**[13:42] Yomogi**
This happened before Kyo went to another
world to take control of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[13:48] Yomogi**
I was helping him in his lab.
**[13:53] Yomogi**
I wanted to be of use to him.
**[13:56] Yomogi**
And then, one day...
**[13:59] Yomogi**
One day, he came to me, dead pale!
**[14:04] Yomogi**
With his face like this!
I wondered what could be so wrong,
**[14:08] Yomogi**
and he said, "Where are my glasses?"
**[14:11] Yomogi**
You get it? His glasses
were right on his face!
**[14:18] Yomogi**
I wanted to say, "They're on
your head," so bad!
**[14:22] Yomogi**
But I held back!
**[14:23] Yomogi**
It was so funny watching him tear
up the place looking for them!
**[14:26] Yomogi**
And then finally, sadly, he found them!
**[14:33] Yomogi**
The look on his face...
**[14:38] Yomogi**
And do you know what he said then?
**[14:41] Yomogi**
He looked so embarrassed as he said,
"Tch! You should've said something!"
**[14:50] Yomogi**
It was several months later that he went
to the world with the Spirit Tortoise.
**[14:58] Yomogi**
Looking back, those were the last
fun moments I had with him.
**[15:06] Yomogi**
Thanks. Now I can remember his face.
**[15:13] Kizuna**
Let's get going.
**[15:14] Kizuna**
If we're late, Glass and the
others will come looking.
**[15:18] Yomogi**
Yeah. We've got one more job to do.
**[15:20] Kizuna**
Right!
**[15:26] Naofumi**
Stop it, Filo!
**[15:28] Filo**
It's fine, Master!
**[15:30] Filo**
This time I can fly, I think!
**[15:32] Naofumi**
You're imagining it!
**[15:33] Naofumi**
You're a filolial right now!
**[15:35] Raphtalia**
That's right, Filo!
**[15:36] Raphtalia**
If you're by yourself, you can jump across,
**[15:38] Raphtalia**
but you can't with the
wagon hooked up to you!
**[15:41] Filo**
Jump?
**[15:43] Rishia**
Filo-chan, I'm sorry, but jumping and flying
like a humming fairy are two different things!
**[15:50] Filo**
Aw...
**[15:52] Filo**
I'm sorry, Master. I'll take
the long way around.
**[16:02] Filo**
I want to fly again.
**[16:05] Naofumi**
In this world you just can't, okay?
**[16:10] Raphtalia**
If only Ost-san was here.
**[16:13] Rishia**
That's right.
**[16:15] Rishia**
Ost-san could use her gravity magic
to make Filo and the carriage float.
**[16:21] Raphtalia**
She'd smile and watch, wouldn't she?
**[16:27] Rishia**
Hey, remember when she tried to say
things in a way that was subtle,
**[16:33] Rishia**
but that you'd still understand,
and it just made things worse?
**[16:40] Raphtalia**
That's...
**[16:41] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san, don't talk about that!
**[16:54] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Um, Ost-san...
**[16:56] (Flashback) Ost**
Yes?
**[16:57] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I've been wondering.
**[16:59] (Flashback) Ost**
Yes? Ask anything you like!
**[17:03] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
What does it mean to
"get intimate as fast as possible"?
**[17:09] (Flashback) Ost**
Well... Well...
**[17:12] (Flashback) Filo**
"Get intimate"? What does that mean?
**[17:15] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
That was the advice Ost-san
gave to Rishia-san.
**[17:18] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I didn't really understand.
**[17:20] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh! Advice!
**[17:23] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh, I did give her that advice.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[17:29] (Flashback) Ost**
Raphtalia-san, when I said to
"get intimate" with someone, I meant...
**[17:32] (Flashback) Rishia**
No! I meant *don't* tell her!
**[17:36] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh? You did?
**[17:38] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Rishia-san! I'm fine!
**[17:42] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I am Naofumi-sama's sword.
**[17:44] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I can accept anything, no matter what it is!
**[17:47] (Flashback) Rishia**
Hmm... I'm not sure about that.
**[17:50] (Flashback) Ost**
Okay, I'll tell you in secret, then.
**[17:53] Ost**
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...
**[17:57] (Flashback) Rishia**
Th-This isn't my fault, okay?!
**[18:01] (Flashback) Ost**
And that's how it works!
**[18:03] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
You do what with his what?
**[18:05] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I don't understand! What is "what"?
**[18:08] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
And what do I do with it?
**[18:11] (Flashback) Filo**
It's not fair that you're
only telling Raphtalia-oneechan!
**[18:13] (Flashback) Filo**
Tell me, too!
**[18:16] (Flashback) Rishia**
If Raphtalia-san doesn't get it,
it's probably safe to tell Filo-chan!
**[18:22] (Flashback) Ost**
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...
**[18:25] (Flashback) Filo**
You mean, mate with Master?
**[18:29] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
"Mate"?
**[18:31] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
O-Ost-san, what did you tell her?
**[18:35] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh, I guess you figured it
out too, Raphtalia-san!
**[18:38] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I didn't!
**[18:40] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I didn't, but I kind of did!
**[18:42] Rishia**
Stop it! Let's just talk
about something else!
**[18:44] (Flashback) Ost**
Let me go into a little more detail then.
**[18:45] (Flashback) Rishia**
Are you listening, Ost-san?
**[18:47] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I d-don't need to hear anymore!
**[18:50] (Flashback) Filo**
Then I'll listen!
**[18:52] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
No! Filo, it's indecent!
**[18:54] (Flashback) Filo**
Indecent? Is mating with someone indecent?
**[18:58] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Well...
**[19:00] (Flashback) Ost**
It's a wonderful thing.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Ost**
But I meant it in an indecent sense, though!
**[19:07] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I don't know what's right anymore.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
What is "what"?
**[19:11] (Flashback) Rishia**
Stop it!
**[19:13] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh my!
**[19:15] (Flashback) Rishia**
This isn't funny, Ost-san!
**[19:21] Raphtalia**
It was crazy, but it was fun!
**[19:24] Rishia**
I was half scared to death!
**[19:27] Naofumi**
What are you talking about?
**[19:30] Filo**
Um, you and I, Master, are going to...
**[19:33] Raphtalia**
Stop it!
**[19:40] Naofumi**
Hey, we're here, Ost.
**[20:17] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[20:19] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[20:19] Filo**
Yeah!

***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Episode 1 The Dark Coliseum
**[02:32] Naofumi**
*My name is Iwatani Naofumi.*
**[02:34] Naofumi**
* I was sent from modern Japan to*
* another world as the Shield Hero,*
**[02:37] Naofumi**
* in order to fight the Waves, which are*
* said to bring calamity to this world.*
**[02:43] Naofumi**
* But since the Spirit Tortoise, one of the four*
* guardian beasts that protect this world, revived,*
**[02:49] Naofumi**
* it will be a while before*
* another Wave occurs.*
**[02:52] Naofumi**
* The guardian beasts use soul*
* energy gathered by killing people*
**[02:56] Naofumi**
*to stop the Waves from occurring.*
**[03:04] Naofumi**
*We defeated the Spirit Tortoise, so the Phoenix,*
**[03:08] Naofumi**
* the next Guardian Beast, was supposed*
* to revive immediately afterward.*
**[03:13] Naofumi**
* But the energy we took back*
* from Kyo created a barrier*
**[03:17] Naofumi**
* that gives us three and a half*
* months before the Phoenix revives.*
**[03:21] Naofumi**
* I'll have to use that three and a half*
* months to strengthen the defenses in my lands,*
**[03:25] Naofumi**
*and prepare to defeat the Phoenix.*
**[03:28] Naofumi**
* But when I fought Kyo, the Sacrifice*
* Aura put a curse on us.*
**[03:34] Naofumi**
* Me, Raphtalia, and Filo all*
* took a big hit to our status.*
**[03:40] Raphtalia**
Lowhirot, Haikazuya, Mideus...
**[03:44] Raphtalia**
Why are the armies that gathered to
defeat the Spirit Tortoise still here?
**[03:49] Raphtalia**
And those flags... That's Faubrey.
**[03:52] Rishia**
They didn't come to fight the
Spirit Tortoise, so why are they here?
**[03:57] Naofumi**
* I haven't been able to use the Liberation*
* Aura that Ost taught me since then, either.*
**[04:02] Naofumi**
*I don't know if I ever will.*
**[04:05] Naofumi**
*I'm the Shield. Motoyasu is the Spear.*
**[04:08] Naofumi**
*Ren is the Sword. Itsuki is the Bow.*
**[04:10] Naofumi**
* We need to be able to trust each other's way of*
* buffing each other so that we can get stronger.*
**[04:18] Naofumi**
Missing?
**[04:20] Mirelia**
The other three heroes dealt with the Wave
**[04:24] Mirelia**
that took place after you
left for the other world.
**[04:28] Naofumi**
The one that occurred alongside the one Kyo
artificially created in the other world, right?
**[04:33] Mirelia**
We were all grateful to them for that,
**[04:35] Mirelia**
but it's possible they felt responsible for
what happened, because now they're missing.
**[04:40] Naofumi**
Those idiots...
**[04:42] Mirelia**
With the Phoenix about to revive,
**[04:46] Mirelia**
having even one of the heroes missing
would be an extremely serious concern.
**[04:52] Mirelia**
The Waves of Catastrophe,
the Guardian Beasts...
**[04:55] Mirelia**
I have nothing but pity for the poor people of
this land who are caught up in these disasters.
**[04:59] Mirelia**
Iwatani-sama, as the Shield Hero, I ask
you to lend us your help once more...
**[05:08] Naofumi**
I don't need you to ask me.
I'll fight to protect my lands.
**[05:12] Naofumi**
But what about you?
**[05:14] Naofumi**
The three nations to the east and Faubrey
are lurking around your country.
**[05:17] Naofumi**
As the Queen of Melromarc, that's a
pretty big concern too, isn't it?
**[05:22] Mirelia**
After the defeat of the Spirit Tortoise,
Faubrey stationed their soldiers nearby,
**[05:26] Mirelia**
in what they're calling a "relief effort."
**[05:29] Mirelia**
The three nations are wary of them, and so
have placed their own forces nearby as well.
**[05:33] Mirelia**
Melromarc and that nation are allies.
**[05:37] Mirelia**
For the moment, at least.
**[05:48] Filo**
Oh, it's Mel-chan!
**[05:52] Melty**
Hmph!
**[05:56] Filo**
It's been so long!
**[05:59] Melty**
You look like you're doing well, Filo-chan.
**[06:01] Melty**
I'm sorry, Raphtalia-san.
**[06:04] Melty**
Our national religion changed from worshiping
the Three Heroes to worshiping the Four Heroes.
**[06:08] Melty**
But there are still a lot of people who
don't like Naofumi or demi-humans.
**[06:12] Raphtalia**
No, it's okay.
**[06:15] Melty**
Mother wants them dismissed
from their positions,
**[06:18] Melty**
but they were some of my father's most
trusted men, which makes it hard, I guess.
**[06:22] Raphtalia**
Oh, I see...
**[06:27] Naofumi**
What this world calls the
Vassal Weapon Heroes...
**[06:30] Naofumi**
The Seven Star Heroes, was it?
**[06:32] Naofumi**
What about them?
**[06:33] Mirelia**
They should be somewhere
out there in the world...
**[06:36] Mirelia**
But we can't contact most of them.
**[06:40] Naofumi**
Why?
**[06:42] Mirelia**
We're investigating, but we
haven't found any good leads.
**[06:52] Mirelia**
The only one whose location we're
aware of is the Staff Hero.
**[06:57] Naofumi**
The Staff Hero?
**[06:59] Naofumi**
Where are they?
**[07:09] Mirelia**
Here in Melromarc.
**[07:12] Naofumi**
What?
**[07:13] Mirelia**
Iwatani-sama,
**[07:17] Mirelia**
will you accompany me?
**[07:20] Mirelia**
There's something I want you to see.
**[07:23] Filo**
Are you going somewhere, Mel-chan?
**[07:25] Melty**
Yes. Seyaette.
**[07:28] Filo**
Is that near Master's lands?
**[07:31] Melty**
Yup!
**[07:31] Filo**
Then we can play again! Hooray!
**[07:37] Melty**
Eclair's having a tough time ruling
her lands. She needs my help.
**[07:41] Raphtalia**
You're really busy for a princess.
**[07:44] Melty**
That's my job!
**[07:46] Melty**
Now, we're going to finish
packing and leave today!
**[07:49] Melty**
So let's hurry!
**[07:52] Shadow**
Understood, I daresay.
**[07:55] Filo**
Daresay?
**[07:58] Naofumi**
What is this?
**[07:59] Mirelia**
We recovered the Spirit Tortoise's body.
**[08:03] Naofumi**
You don't miss a beat, do you?

A final present from Ost?
**[08:21] Mirelia**
Iwatani-sama, this is very difficult
for me to say, but Malty...
**[08:27] Mirelia**
Ahem, Bitch has gone missing as well.
**[08:32] Mirelia**
She was sighted near the northern border.
**[08:36] Naofumi**
The north?
**[08:37] Mirelia**
Be careful. She may be planning something.
**[08:44] Trash**
Damn you, Shield Hero!
What are you doing here?
**[08:55] Naofumi**
I can't believe he's the Staff Hero.
**[09:16] Elhart**
Kid!
**[09:17] Naofumi**
Hard at work, huh?
**[09:24] Elhart**
I see... Between the Spirit Tortoise and
that other world, you've been pretty busy, huh?

Yeah.

No, it's nothing.
**[09:44] Naofumi**
Don't worry about it.
**[09:45] Naofumi**
Oh, so I wanted to ask
you about something.
**[09:50] Naofumi**
This is the gear I used in that other world.
**[09:52] Naofumi**
I haven't been able to
use it since I got back.
**[09:54] Elhart**
What the hell is this stuff?
Something's really weird with it.
**[09:57] Raphtalia**
Is something wrong, Naofumi-san?
**[10:00] Naofumi**
No, I just liked the way you looked in it.
**[10:03] Naofumi**
And your status was higher when you wore it.
**[10:06] Elhart**
So you want me to make it
so you can use it here?
**[10:10] Naofumi**
And do it on the cheap, too.
**[10:12] Elhart**
You always say that.
**[10:14] Naofumi**
Why don't you just come to my lands
and sell your weapons there?
**[10:17] Elhart**
You trying to work me even harder?
**[10:20] Elhart**
No way.
**[10:22] Naofumi**
I'll pay you 30 silvers a month.
**[10:24] Elhart**
I make more than that now!
**[10:26] Naofumi**
25, then.
**[10:27] Elhart**
Why did it get smaller?
**[10:36] Naofumi**
Officially, they've switched to
worshiping the Four Heroes...
**[10:39] Naofumi**
but I guess people don't change that easily.
**[10:41] Rishia**
This is a difficult problem.
**[10:44] Naofumi**
Melty's ideal country is a long way away.
**[10:47] Slave Merchant**
It's been too long, Shield Hero!
**[10:52] Slave Merchant**
But I had a feeling you'd show up soon!
**[10:55] Naofumi**
There's not much here.
**[10:58] Naofumi**
I barely see any slaves.
**[11:00] Naofumi**
Why?
**[11:01] Slave Merchant**
Oh, you don't know?
**[11:04] Slave Merchant**
Have you forgotten that
you're trying to bring back
**[11:09] Slave Merchant**
the scattered villagers of Lurolona Village?
**[11:13] Naofumi**
This must be the Queen's doing, damn it...
**[11:16] Naofumi**
I just thought that if I was
going to improve my lands,
**[11:19] Naofumi**
it would be easier to do it with
the people who lived there before.
**[11:22] Slave Merchant**
The nobles and merchants heard that the
message about this would be coming in advance,
**[11:26] Slave Merchant**
and bought up all the slaves from the
village to sell them outside the country.
**[11:31] Naofumi**
How much would it cost to buy them back?
**[11:33] Slave Merchant**
At the moment, you'd probably
be paying 30 gold a head.
**[11:40] Naofumi**
Raphtalia was 30 silvers!
**[11:43] Rishia**
So it's 100 times her price?
**[11:45] Raphtalia**
It was 31, actually.
**[11:47] Naofumi**
Why is the price so high?
**[11:49] Slave Merchant**
Well, you just don't know how
things will go in business.
**[11:54] Naofumi**
Okay. I'll buy every slave that's left.
**[11:58] Naofumi**
So give me all the information you have.
**[12:01] Slave Merchant**
That's my friend the Shield Hero!
I'm getting the shivers!
**[12:06] Slave Merchant**
If you still want the demi-humans
from Lurolona Village,
**[12:10] Slave Merchant**
then why not head to Zeltoble?
**[12:14] Naofumi**
Zeltoble?
**[12:18] Melty**
Heading to Zeltoble after you just
got back? Wow, that's rough...
**[12:22] Naofumi**
With the other three heroes missing,
I need more people to defend my lands.
**[12:28] Keel**
You should just use that portal
thing instead of using a carriage!
**[12:31] Melty**
You can't warp to a place you've
never been unless you register.
**[12:35] Keel**
Huh, that sucks.
**[12:38] Melty**
Leave the demi-human slaves
you brought to me.
**[12:41] Melty**
Eclair, Elrasla-san, and I will
teach them what they need to know.
**[12:45] Keel**
And as their senior,
I'll train them really hard!
**[12:49] Naofumi**
Good. Thanks.
**[12:50] Filo**
Bye, Mel-chan!
**[12:52] Melty**
Bye!

**[13:43] Naofumi**
There it is.
**[13:45] Naofumi**
On the other side of that bridge
is the capital of Zeltoble.
**[13:49] Naofumi**
The country of merchants and mercenaries...
It feels so alive.
**[13:54] Raphtalia**
There's an arena.
**[13:56] Rishia**
It's really bustling.
**[13:58] Raphtalia**
You can feel the heat from all these people.
**[14:00] Filo**
Think there's good food?
**[14:02] Naofumi**
So, where's the shop the Slave
Merchant was talking about?
**[14:08] Naofumi**
Here?
**[14:09] Rishia**
It's really small.
**[14:11] Raphtalia**
And it's a tavern?
**[14:13] Naofumi**
He said we'd understand when we got here.
**[14:17] Slave Merchant**
Hello, hello!
**[14:20] Slave Merchant**
You're the Shield Hero and his party, yes?
**[14:23] Filo**
What's he doing here?
**[14:25] Slave Merchant**
I like the look in your eyes.
**[14:28] Slave Merchant**
It's just like my nephew said.
**[14:29] Slave Merchant**
I could fall in love with those eyes!
**[14:32] Slave Merchant**
Oh, I'm a slave merchant here in Zeltoble.
**[14:36] Slave Merchant**
My nephew says you're one
of his best customers.
**[14:39] Slave Merchant**
Now, come in.
**[14:45] Slave Merchant**
In this country, there are a lot of places
above the surface where you can have fun, but...
**[14:52] Slave Merchant**
The real fun lies elsewhere.
**[15:02] Slave Merchant**
There are stairs in this city,
like this one, that lead underground...
**[15:06] Slave Merchant**
To a place full of fun,
excitement, and shivers, yes!
**[15:13] Slave Merchant**
You're lucky, Shield Hero.
**[15:15] Slave Merchant**
I've heard that what you're looking
for has just come in today.
**[15:20] Auctioneer**
Now, our next item is one
you've all been waiting for!
**[15:23] Auctioneer**
A demi-human from Lurolona Village,
which is now owned by the Shield Hero!
**[15:29] Naofumi**
An underworld auction?
**[15:31] Slave Merchant**
Here you can buy things you
can't buy on the surface.
**[15:35] Slave Merchant**
Slaves whose ownership is forbidden in
Melromarc are being sold here tonight.
**[15:42] Demi-human**
I'm a demi-human from Lurolona Village!
**[15:46] Raphtalia**
She's lying.
**[15:48] Auctioneer**
We'll start at 50.
**[15:50] Auctioneer**
I see 60.
**[15:52] Auctioneer**
Sixty-five.
**[15:54] Auctioneer**
Sixty-eight.
**[15:56] Auctioneer**
Sixty-nine!
**[15:57] Auctioneer**
Seventy-two.
**[15:59] Auctioneer**
Seventy-five.
**[16:00] Auctioneer**
Eighty.
**[16:01] Slave Merchant**
I know you thought you were doing the
right thing, but this is the result.
**[16:03] Auctioneer**
Eighty-one.
**[16:06] Slave Merchant**
You just don't know how
things will go in business.
**[16:11] Auctioneer**
I hear 100. One hundred!
**[16:18] Auctioneer**
The gentleman with the #14 sign
has won, with a final bid of 100!
**[16:22] Rishia**
H-H-Hundr—
**[16:24] Demi-human**
Thank you!
**[16:26] Demi-human**
I'll do my best to serve you!
**[16:29] Raphtalia**
She's not from Lurolona Village.
**[16:33] Slave Merchant**
It doesn't matter where she's actually from.
**[16:36] Slave Merchant**
The "Lurolona Brand" that the Shield
Hero created is just that powerful.
**[16:41] Rishia**
No...
**[16:43] Slave Merchant**
You think it's ridiculous? Impossible?
**[16:46] Slave Merchant**
But it's real!
**[16:48] Slave Merchant**
Money! Money solves all problems, yes.
**[16:52] Slave Merchant**
It seems tonight didn't work out,
**[16:55] Slave Merchant**
but I have solid information that a Lurolona
Village demi-human is here in the city.
**[17:01] Slave Merchant**
Shield Hero, how much money
do you have with you?
**[17:06] Slave Merchant**
One hundred gold? No, 50, perhaps?
**[17:09] Naofumi**
What are you trying to say?
**[17:11] Slave Merchant**
I'm told you bought up all
the slaves in Melromarc,
**[17:13] Slave Merchant**
even ones that weren't from your village.
**[17:16] Slave Merchant**
If only you'd saved your money...
**[17:19] Slave Merchant**
What a shame.
**[17:22] Auctioneer**
Now, on to our next item!
**[17:23] Naofumi**
You brought me down here because you
have a way for me to earn money, right?
**[17:29] Slave Merchant**
You saw the coliseum this afternoon, right?
**[17:32] Slave Merchant**
People there fight fair,
with their honor on the line.
**[17:36] Slave Merchant**
But the underground arena is
something entirely different.
**[17:40] Slave Merchant**
There are no rules down there.
You do whatever it takes to win.
**[17:43] Slave Merchant**
But the money to be earned is much greater.
**[17:46] Slave Merchant**
Bet on a dark horse and
win. Or enter yourself.
**[17:49] Slave Merchant**
Do that, and you'll make the
money you need for the auctions.
**[17:54] Slave Merchant**
Why don't you go take a look?
**[18:01] Slave Merchant**
I'm shivering just thinking about
how you'll earn the money!
**[18:35] Naofumi**
An elephant and a panda?
**[18:37] Nadia**
May I stand next to you?
**[18:41] Nadia**
I haven't seen you around here. First time?
**[18:45] Nadia**
Sasa-chan's going to win today.
**[18:49] Nadia**
I mean Larsazusa-chan,
the one you called a panda.
**[18:55] Nadia**
Are you here to bet?
Or will you enter yourself?
**[19:13] MC**
The winner is Larsazusa!
**[19:16] Nadia**
See?
**[19:19] Naofumi**
What are the rules down here?
**[19:21] Naofumi**
That panda was using some kind of magic.
**[19:32] MC**
* Up next is Fohl, the little mad*
* dog of a tiger demi-human...*
**[19:36] MC**
* Versus the noble scion and*
* master of the blade, Yuji!*
**[19:41] MC**
*The odds are tilted in Fohl's favor!*
**[19:42] MC**
* Do people think the impoverished demi-human*
* can beat the scion of the nouveau riche?*
**[19:46] MC**
* Bet on the rich kid and you*
* might get rich yourself!*
**[19:50] Nadia**
So, you can enter alone, or in
a team of up to three people,
**[19:55] Nadia**
but I suppose the most popular thing
to bet on is the three-on-three team fights.
**[19:59] Nadia**
You're a heavy drinker, aren't you?
**[20:02] Naofumi**
I guess I am.
**[20:03] Naofumi**
And?
**[20:04] Nadia**
And anything goes!
**[20:06] Nadia**
Like that, for instance.
**[20:11] Crowd**
White tiger! Stop dodging and fight!
**[20:15] Yuji**
I'm studying the blade,
and I'm super strong!
**[20:21] Yuji**
That's enough, right?
**[20:26] Yuji**
Take this! Fire Sword!
**[20:34] MC**
*Enough!*
**[20:35] Crowd**
Bullshit!
**[20:36] MC**
*The winner is Yuji!*
**[20:36] Crowd**
Do you know how much I bet on this match?
**[20:38] Crowd**
This is crap!
**[20:39] Nadia**
Poor kid, don't you think?
**[20:41] Naofumi**
He's the one who agreed to fix the match.
**[20:47] Nadia**
Well, I suppose that's enough
drinking for one day.
**[20:51] Nadia**
Bye, and thanks for the drinks!
**[21:04] Naofumi**
Money is everything, huh?
**[21:08] Raphtalia**
I did see someone from Lurolona Village.
**[21:11] Naofumi**
Yeah?
**[21:13] Rishia**
What are you doing, Naofumi-san?
**[21:15] Naofumi**
Getting ready to enter the fights.
**[21:18] Naofumi**
We'll hide our identities and
enter the underground arena.
**[21:23] Naofumi**
We'll take both the money from winning
the bets, and the prize money.
**[21:26] Naofumi**
And buy back all the demi-humans from
Lurolona Village that are up for auction.
**[21:30] Filo**
I don't understand anything you
just said, but that sounds fun!
**[21:35] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, you're being crazy again.
**[21:43] Naofumi**
Curses! They're so strong!
**[21:47] Topak A**
We're gonna murder you right here!
**[21:50] Crowd**
Go for it!
**[21:50] Crowd**
Kill 'em!
**[21:52] Filo**
Master, why do we have
to pretend to be weak?
**[21:56] Naofumi**
To make the audience think
we can't beat them.
**[21:59] Naofumi**
The more we look like the dark horse,
the more money that's paid out if we win.
**[22:03] Filo**
Are we horseys?
**[22:05] Naofumi**
Okay, that's enough.
**[22:07] Naofumi**
Shigaraki!
**[22:08] Raphtalia**
It feels weird being called that...
**[22:17] Naofumi**
Here we go, Shigaraki! Humming!
**[22:48] MC**
*What an upset!*
**[22:50] MC**
* Topak's winning streak has been*
* broken by Rockvalley, a brand-new team!*
**[22:59] Naofumi**
We won!
**[23:00] Raphtalia**
I thought we were done for!
**[23:04] Crowd**
You suck!
**[23:05] Crowd**
How could you lose to a rookie team?
**[23:08] Crowd**
Kill yourselves!
**[23:09] Crowd**
You weren't supposed to win, assholes!
**[23:17] Crowd**
Go Team Rockvalley!
**[23:23] Naofumi**
Looks like we managed to fool them.
**[23:25] Raphtalia**
I feel a little guilty.
**[23:27] Filo**
That was fun, huh?

**[02:27] Nadia**
Looks like you won your
first fight, Rock-chan.
**[02:31] Nadia**
You weren't satisfied with the prize money.
You even bet on yourself.
**[02:34] Nadia**
You must really want the cash.
**[02:38] Naofumi**
What will you do? Tell someone?
**[02:41] Nadia**
I won't do anything to spoil the mood.
**[02:43] Nadia**
In exchange...
**[02:50] Nadia**
Spend the night drinking with me.
**[02:58] Naofumi**
It's good.
**[02:59] Naofumi**
They put whole rukor fruit in it.
**[03:02] Nadia**
You can drink that?
**[03:04] Naofumi**
Yeah, I could drink a dozen glasses.
**[03:08] Naofumi**
Now tell me what you know.
**[03:14] Naofumi**
What?
**[03:17] Nadia**
Want to get some night air while we talk?
**[03:24] Nadia**
So the next thing they're doing
is a round-robin tournament.
**[03:27] Naofumi**
I see.
**[03:29] Naofumi**
So, is it normal to be told your next
opponent right after the battle?
**[03:33] Nadia**
It is.
**[03:34] Nadia**
And if teams forfeit, you win by default
and don't get matched for a while.
**[03:40] Naofumi**
I see.
**[03:41] Naofumi**
So the reason there were
all those forfeits was...
**[03:44] Naofumi**
This?
**[03:49] Man A**
Nadia! And Rockvalley!
**[03:51] Man A**
Die for the sake of our teams!
**[03:54] Naofumi**
What, these aren't your men?
**[03:57] Nadia**
How rude.
**[04:00] Nadia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[04:03] Nadia**
Decipher the laws of nature,
and let thunder strike my foes!
**[04:04] Naofumi**
Magic?
**[04:09] Nadia**
All Drifa! Chain Lightning!
**[04:22] Naofumi**
What power...
**[04:24] Naofumi**
So people forfeit because otherwise they'll
get ambushed in the middle of the night?
**[04:27] Nadia**
You need to be careful. Your enemies
will do whatever it takes.
**[04:31] Naofumi**
Just like how you put
rukor fruit in my drinks.
**[04:38] Naofumi**
Get off me!
**[04:43] Nadia**
I'm praying we don't see
each other in the coliseum.
**[04:46] Nadia**
I'd prefer you gave up before you got to me.
**[04:52] Naofumi**
* The next day, our opponents*
* forfeited as well.*
**[05:02] Naofumi**
* And the next fight was an easy*
* win against some monsters.*
**[05:05] Naofumi**
* But we used illusion magic to*
* make it look like we struggled.*
**[05:08] MC**
The w-winners are Team Rockvalley!
**[05:11] MC**
They defeated three griffins
after a fierce battle!
**[05:15] MC**
We're witnessing the birth of an
incredible group of new stars!
**[05:18] Crowd**
Good work, Rockvalley!
**[05:19] Crowd**
This is bullshit!
**[05:23] Naofumi**
*With each victory, the prize money increased.*
**[05:27] Naofumi**
* And since we used illusion magic to make*
* it look like we were struggling to win,*
**[05:32] Naofumi**
*the betting odds got better and better.*
**[05:35] Raphtalia**
The Slave Merchant says this is the biggest
department store in the capital city.
**[05:41] Rishia**
I bet we could get armor and
weapons for our matches here.
**[05:45] Filo**
Master!
**[05:46] Filo**
There's lots of food too!
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Yeah. Let's buy enough
food to last for a while.
**[05:52] Naofumi**
We shouldn't be going out at night too much.
**[05:54] Filo**
Yay!
**[05:55] Filo**
Let's go! Let's go!
**[05:56] Accessory Seller**
Savior of the Heavenly Fowl!
**[05:59] Accessory Seller**
Oh, should I call you "Rock-sama" here?
**[06:04] Naofumi**
I thought I recognized you from the
sponsors section at the coliseum.
**[06:09] Accessory Seller**
Oh, I'm cheering you on!
**[06:12] Accessory Seller**
This is my store. I'm willing
to invest in you, if you'd like.
**[06:17] Naofumi**
Looks like you're doing well
for yourself, as always.
**[06:20] Naofumi**
But I'll pass.
**[06:22] Naofumi**
I bet it would come with a
lot of strings attached.
**[06:23] Accessory Seller**
Aw, don't say that!
**[06:25] Accessory Seller**
You can pay me back by giving me joint
rights to the economy of your lands.
**[06:30] Naofumi**
I'm willing to let you
open a store, at most.
**[06:33] Accessory Seller**
I've got your word on that!
**[06:35] Accessory Seller**
Now, enjoy your time at our fine stores!
**[06:40] Rishia**
That merchant's famous!
**[06:43] Naofumi**
I should've known...
**[06:45] Rishia**
I've heard that if he doesn't like
you, he'll drive you out of business.
**[06:48] Naofumi**
Don't worry. He's not going to dislike us.
**[06:51] Naofumi**
For now.
**[06:53] Filo**
Master!
**[06:55] Filo**
Buy this!
**[07:08] Rishia**
We've been given our next opponent!
**[07:10] Naofumi**
They're fighting alone?
**[07:16] Rishia**
Yes!
**[07:16] Rishia**
And it's someone who wins almost every time,
or at least places in the top ranks!
**[07:21] Naofumi**
They're either strong,
**[07:23] Naofumi**
or their sponsor's really helping them out.
**[07:25] Naofumi**
Or both.
**[07:26] Rishia**
There are more powerful fighters,
but they're not participating this time...
**[07:31] Naofumi**
I don't care about people
we're not going to fight.
**[07:33] Naofumi**
So, what's their name?
**[07:35] Rishia**
Um...
**[07:36] Rishia**
Their ring name is Nadia.
**[07:39] Naofumi**
Nadia?
**[07:40] Rishia**
It says she uses powerful lightning magic
and fights up close with a big harpoon!
**[07:45] Raphtalia**
Lightning... A harpoon...
**[07:48] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[07:49] Raphtalia**
No, it's nothing.
**[07:52] Rishia**
And since there are so many forfeits,
this will be the championship, it says.
**[07:57] Naofumi**
The championship...
**[08:00] Naofumi**
Okay, there's no need to
pretend to be weak anymore.
**[08:03] Naofumi**
But this'll be tougher
than any fight before.
**[08:06] Naofumi**
Let's get to sleep now to
be ready for tomorrow.
**[08:08] Filo**
Okay! But first, we eat!
**[08:16] MC**
Now, it's time for the event
you've all been waiting for!
**[08:20] MC**
The championship of this
season of the coliseum!
**[08:24] MC**
Will the winner be the new,
and as-yet-undefeated, team?
**[08:28] MC**
Or the Drunken Lightning, one of the
top-ranking fighters each season!
**[08:33] MC**
Will you bet on the new
kids with 10-to-1 odds,
**[08:37] MC**
or play it safe and bet on the
nigh-undefeated goddess of victory!
**[08:40] MC**
That's up to you!
**[08:43] MC**
Now, it's time for our
fighters to enter the arena!
**[08:47] MC**
Team Rockvalley!
**[08:50] MC**
Nadia!
**[08:53] Crowd**
Nadia!
**[08:54] Crowd**
Nadia!
**[08:56] Crowd**
Nadia!
**[08:57] Crowd**
Nadia!
**[09:02] Nadia**
Oh my.
**[09:03] Nadia**
You didn't listen to my warning, did you?
**[09:07] Naofumi**
Sorry, but I've got a reason
that means I have to win here.
**[09:11] Raphtalia**
Nao... Rock-sama, do you know her?
**[09:15] Naofumi**
We've talked a few times.
**[09:24] Naofumi**
Hey, again?
**[09:25] Nadia**
Is your reason because you need a fortune
to buy the slaves from Lurolona Village?
**[09:33] Nadia**
This is a good way to get
a lot of money fast.
**[09:36] Nadia**
But I won't lose to people
who only care about money.
**[09:41] Naofumi**
No holding back. Give it
your all from the start.
**[09:43] MC**
Team Rockvalley! Nadia!
**[09:48] MC**
Let the championship battle...
**[09:50] MC**
Begin!
**[09:57] Nadia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[09:59] Nadia**
Decipher the laws of nature...
**[10:02] Nadia**
Don't let it hit you directly. You'll die!
**[10:06] Nadia**
Drifa Thunder Burst!
**[10:18] Nadia**
Oh my!
**[10:20] Filo**
High Quick!
**[10:23] Nadia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[10:25] Nadia**
Decipher the laws of nature...
**[10:26] Filo**
Spiral...
**[10:27] Nadia**
Lightning, become a power which
protects and supports me!
**[10:30] Nadia**
Drifa Lightning Speed!
**[10:33] Filo**
Stri—
**[10:35] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[10:36] Naofumi**
Second Shield!
**[10:37] Naofumi**
Dritte Shield!
**[10:39] Nadia**
Oh my, this is wonderful!
**[10:40] Nadia**
You surprised me!
**[10:49] MC**
Amazing!
**[10:50] MC**
The two sides moved so fast that
a field change spell took effect!
**[10:55] Nadia**
Boundless Sea, a choral magic spell that
temporarily submerges an entire area.
**[11:01] Nadia**
Looks like they want me
to put on a good show.
**[11:03] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[11:04] Naofumi**
This isn't fair!
**[11:05] Nadia**
I guess I'll give them what they want, then,
**[11:08] Nadia**
and fight for real.
**[11:11] Crowd**
Go, Nadia!
**[11:13] Crowd**
Get them!
**[11:14] Crowd**
This is what I came to see!
**[11:16] MC**
It looks like Nadia is going to transform!
**[11:20] Naofumi**
Transform?
**[11:21] MC**
Make sure you don't get caught
in the waves, everyone!
**[11:33] Naofumi**
That's... a killer whale demi-human?
**[11:36] Nadia**
Here I go!
**[11:44] Naofumi**
Shigaraki!
**[11:45] Filo**
Sis!
**[11:47] Naofumi**
Run! You'll die!
**[11:49] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan...
**[12:00] Nadia**
Oh my...?
**[12:05] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan? It's you,
right Sadeena-neesan...?
**[12:09] Nadia**
If you're calling me that, does that
mean you're... Raphtalia-chan?
**[12:15] Raphtalia**
Yes, it's me, Raphtalia, Sadeena-neesan!
**[12:19] Nadia**
Which means that Rock-chan, you're...
**[12:23] Raphtalia**
Iwatani Naofumi-sama, the Shield Hero.
**[12:26] Nadia**
Oh my...
**[12:29] Crowd**
What's wrong?
**[12:36] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan?
**[12:40] Nadia**
You were gathering up the
children from the village
**[12:42] Nadia**
for the sake of your lands
and Raphtalia-chan, right?
**[12:45] Naofumi**
That's right.
**[12:47] Nadia**
I understand now!
**[12:51] Nadia**
Now, let's end it!
**[12:53] Nadia**
I'll defeat you with my best skill!
**[12:57] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, let's give it our all.
**[13:00] Raphtalia**
Sadeena is a demi-human. She can take it.
**[13:04] Nadia**
Here I go!
**[13:08] Filo**
Zweit Tornado!
**[13:12] Raphtalia**
Illusion Sword!
**[13:36] Nadia**
I don't think I can win this...
**[13:39] Nadia**
I surrender.
**[13:57] Nadia**
Now the sponsors might sell off the kids from
the village I was working so hard to buy back.
**[14:04] Naofumi**
Don't worry.
**[14:05] Naofumi**
I'll deal with it.
**[14:08] MC**
And so, the winner is...
**[14:11] MC**
Team Rock...
**[14:17] MC**
The sponsors have decided that this
final battle will be declared invalid.
**[14:23] Naofumi**
What?
**[14:24] MC**
Instead, there will be an exhibition match
**[14:28] MC**
between the two fighters who
participated and a new fighter!
**[14:33] Nadia**
My...
**[14:34] Naofumi**
Damn it.
**[14:35] Naofumi**
Your sponsor's crazy.
**[14:37] Nadia**
I do understand why he's doing it, though.
**[14:39] MC**
So now it's Nadia and
Team Rockvalley versus...
**[14:53] Nadia**
Rock-chan, that one's a little dangerous.
**[14:55] MC**
The clown is?
**[14:57] Rishia**
Th-That's them!
**[14:59] MC**
Yes... the Murder Clown!
**[15:03] MC**
Betting will be available for the first
10 minutes after the match starts.
**[15:06] MC**
And we'll be refunding your
money for the finals right away!
**[15:09] Crowd**
Great!
**[15:11] Naofumi**
So we have to fight?
**[15:13] Nadia**
Yes.
**[15:14] Nadia**
We can worry about everything
else after we win!
**[15:17] MC**
Now let the game...
**[15:20] MC**
Begin!
**[15:22] Raphtalia**
I'll end this quickly!
**[15:23] Raphtalia**
Instant Blade: Mist!
**[15:26] Murder Clown**
Spider Net.
**[15:30] Murder Clown**
Bind Wire.
**[15:34] Naofumi**
What is this?
**[15:36] Raphtalia**
I can't cut it!
**[15:49] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[15:50] Nadia**
Rock-chan, cast a choral spell with me.
**[15:54] Naofumi**
But I've never...
**[15:57] Naofumi**
Is it like what Ost did?
**[16:00] Nadia**
Focus!
**[16:01] Nadia**
If you don't hurry, Raphtalia-chan and
your birdie will be in big trouble!
**[16:06] Nadia**
Two powers, imbued with strength
to give them succor...
**[16:10] Nadia**
Strength to overcome destined defeat,
and lead them to a victorious future.
**[16:15] Nadia**
Dragon Vein, hear our wish!
**[16:18] Nadia**
As source of thy power, I beseech thee...
**[16:21] Nadia**
Decipher the laws of nature,
**[16:23] Nadia**
and grant me the power to overcome
the obstacles before me!
**[16:28] Nadia**
Oh my.
**[16:30] Nadia**
So that's the spell we get, huh?
**[16:32] Nadia**
Descent of the Thunder God!
**[16:37] Nadia**
Rock-chan, you know who we're
casting this on, right?
**[16:41] Naofumi**
Yup!
**[16:47] Filo**
Onee-chan!
**[16:55] Nadia**
Raphtalia-chan!
**[16:56] Nadia**
We gave you a choral spell, so use it wisely!
**[17:00] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[17:01] Murder Clown**
I won't lose.
**[17:10] Raphtalia**
It won't help you.
**[17:11] Raphtalia**
Brave Blade: Mist!
**[17:30] Raphtalia**
This is the end!
**[17:32] Raphtalia**
Fusion Technique:
Blade of the Thunder Emperor!
**[18:02] Murder Clown**
Scape Doll.
**[18:11] Murder Clown**
I'm guessing you have four buffs?
**[18:15] Murder Clown**
That will get you killed.
**[18:18] Murder Clown**
Your base strength is too low.
**[18:20] Naofumi**
What?
**[18:21] Murder Clown**
If you're not a hero who no one can defeat,
**[18:25] Murder Clown**
the other world will destroy you.
**[18:28] Murder Clown**
If you're having trouble fighting
someone as weak as me...
**[18:30] Naofumi**
What is she talking about?
**[18:33] Murder Clown**
I fought enough to earn my pay.
**[18:36] Murder Clown**
There is no real meaning in this battle.
**[18:38] Murder Clown**
Let us meet again.
**[18:41] Murder Clown**
Try not to get killed.
**[18:45] Naofumi**
Is she a ninja or something?
**[18:47] MC**
Um... Murder Clown has disappeared!
**[18:51] MC**
And so the winner is Team
Rockvalley and Nadia...
**[18:54] Sponsor**
This doesn't count!
**[18:56] Sponsor**
This match doesn't count!
**[18:57] Sponsor**
There was a major incident
of cheating in this match.
**[19:00] Sponsor**
Team Rockvalley bet on themselves
under a fake name to win more money!
**[19:07] Sponsor**
Thus, this match is invalid...
**[19:10] Accessory Seller**
No, this match goes to the Shield Hero.
**[19:14] Slave Merchant**
He will receive both the fight money and
his betting winnings, as he deserves.
**[19:20] Crowd**
The Shield Hero?
**[19:21] Crowd**
The famous Shield Hero?
**[19:22] Crowd**
I knew it was him!
**[19:25] Sponsor**
Don't tell me... One of the Cardinal Heroes,
**[19:27] Sponsor**
the Shield Hero, was participating
in this underground arena?
**[19:31] Accessory Seller**
Correct!
**[19:33] Accessory Seller**
And Nadia is the rightful owner
of the Lurolona Village slaves,
**[19:37] Accessory Seller**
which she purchased with her prize money.
**[19:40] Accessory Seller**
No one will be allowed to take them.
**[19:45] Crowd**
Shield Hero!
**[19:46] Crowd**
I love you, Nadia!
**[19:47] Crowd**
You made me a ton!
**[19:50] Naofumi**
I know why the Slave Merchant is here,
**[19:52] Naofumi**
but what's the accessory
seller doing giving orders?
**[19:55] Slave Merchant**
He also owns the largest
department store in the capital.
**[20:00] Naofumi**
He owned the whole building?!
**[20:03] Raphtalia**
Which means it all worked out, right?
**[20:06] Filo**
Hooray!
**[20:11] Nadia**
Raphtalia-chan...
**[20:15] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan...
**[20:20] Nadia**
I'm so glad you're safe!
**[20:22] Nadia**
You've grown up so much.
**[20:23] Raphtalia**
I'm so glad to see you
again, Sadeena-neesan...
**[20:26] Raphtalia**
I really am...
**[20:30] Nadia**
I heard a rumor that the Shield Hero had one
of the Lurolona Village demi-humans with him.
**[20:35] Nadia**
I guess it was true!
**[20:38] Nadia**
So let me introduce myself again...
**[20:39] Nadia**
I'm Sadeena!
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Iwatani Naofumi.
**[20:43] Sadeena**
Thank you for protecting Raphtalia-chan.
**[20:47] Sadeena**
From now on, please look
after me too, Naofumi-chan!
**[21:16] Store Owner**
Hey, you want the usual, Fohl?
**[21:28] Store Owner**
I hope you can get them better medicine soon.
**[21:31] Store Owner**
Here, take this too.
**[21:53] Fohl**
I'm back, Atla.
**[21:59] Atla**
Welcome back, Onii-sama...

**[00:08] Slave**
Another rigged match today, huh?
**[00:10] Slave**
Welcome back.
**[00:35] Fohl**
I'm back, Atla.
**[00:40] Atla**
Welcome back, Onii-sama...
**[00:54] Fohl**
Come on, let's have dinner.
**[01:22] False Slaves**
Huh? Do we have to wear these clothes?
**[01:26] False Slaves**
I can't wait to get purchased
so we can get out of here!
**[01:30] False Slaves**
I hope the Shield Hero comes soon!
**[01:34] Fohl**
The Shield Hero?
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Episode 3 The White Tiger Siblings
**[03:22] False Slaves**
Over here, Shield Hero!
**[03:24] False Slaves**
Please, Shield Hero!
**[03:26] False Slaves**
Save me!
**[03:29] False Slaves**
I could die at any moment!
**[03:32] Naofumi**
You're not fooling anyone.
**[03:38] Slave Merchant**
Impressive, Shield Hero!
**[03:41] Slave Merchant**
You have an eye sharp enough
to identify a fake slave immediately!
**[03:43] Slave Merchant**
It makes me shiver!
**[03:46] Naofumi**
What's going on here?
**[03:47] Slave Merchant**
In Siltvelt, you're seen as not a hero,
but a god to be worshiped, you see.
**[03:54] Slave Merchant**
Now, let's get down to business.
**[03:56] Slave Merchant**
This is the main dish I told you about.
**[04:02] False Slaves**
What?
**[04:03] False Slaves**
I only came to this filthy place
because Daddy told me I had to!
**[04:07] False Slaves**
He's so handsome.
**[04:10] Fohl**
Shield Hero! Please...
**[04:12] Fohl**
Buy me... Buy us!
**[04:18] Naofumi**
I saw you before...
**[04:21] Naofumi**
What's your name?
**[04:23] Fohl**
Fohl.
**[04:26] Slave Merchant**
What makes him special is,
of course, his combat ability.
**[04:30] Slave Merchant**
Look at his status.
**[04:34] Naofumi**
His level's *this* high at such a young age?
**[04:38] Slave Merchant**
Unlike other races, a white tiger can
upgrade their class up to level 60.
**[04:43] Slave Merchant**
After upgrading their class,
they can reach level 120.
**[04:47] Naofumi**
A higher level means higher stats.
**[04:50] Naofumi**
So he'll get stronger when he grows up?
**[04:53] Slave Merchant**
Yes. If you don't count the heroes,
**[04:55] Slave Merchant**
they're among the most
powerful beings in the world.
**[04:58] Slave Merchant**
And he can be yours for
just 120 gold pieces!
**[05:03] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[05:05] Naofumi**
All right, I understand that
he could be valuable.
**[05:08] Naofumi**
But he just asked me to "buy us."
**[05:10] Fohl**
I have a little sister.
**[05:12] Fohl**
Take her with me, please.
**[05:15] Slave Merchant**
They're siblings.
**[05:17] Slave Merchant**
But the sister is sick. She's blind
and can't get out of bed.
**[05:21] Slave Merchant**
She's not worth even 30 silvers!
**[05:25] Raphtalia**
How awful...
**[05:26] Slave Merchant**
Since his sister is worthless,
**[05:29] Slave Merchant**
he fights in the underground coliseum
to pay for her food and medicine.
**[05:34] Slave Merchant**
Doesn't it bring a tear to your eye?
**[05:37] Naofumi**
The hell it does.
**[05:39] Naofumi**
I bet you take a big cut of his earnings.
**[05:41] Slave Merchant**
You're so smart, Hero! I'm in awe!
**[05:46] Naofumi**
Scum!
**[05:48] Naofumi**
What's your sister's name?
**[05:50] Fohl**
Atla.
**[05:52] Naofumi**
Open the cell door.
**[06:03] Atla**
Who are you?
**[06:06] Naofumi**
Iwatani Naofumi. The Shield Hero.
**[06:09] Atla**
Shield Hero... Naofumi-sama...
please, take care of my brother.
**[06:16] Atla**
I'm no longer...
**[06:17] Naofumi**
I'm sorry, but I'm not
going to do what you want.
***SIGN*** Curing this disease requires an Elixir of Yggdrasil
**[06:27] Fohl**
Is that... Don't tell me...
**[06:30] Naofumi**
An Elixir of Yggdrasil.
**[06:32] Naofumi**
Are you ready to spend the rest
of your life paying for this?
**[06:39] Fohl**
I'll make enough to pay not just for her,
but for three... no, four people!
**[07:05] Atla**
I feel so... warm...
**[07:12] Fohl**
Atla...
**[07:14] Fohl**
Atla!
**[07:15] Fohl**
I'm so glad!
**[07:17] Naofumi**
She'll need to ingest the drug several
times for it to take full effect.
**[07:21] Naofumi**
For now, just make sure you get some rest.
**[07:23] Atla**
All right... Thank you.
**[07:29] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, we're taking them back.
**[07:34] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[07:37] Naofumi**
*After we purchased Fohl and Atla,*
**[07:40] Naofumi**
* we met with Sadeena and the other*
* slaves from Lurolona Village,*
**[07:43] Naofumi**
*whom we took back from the coliseum.*
**[07:45] Naofumi**
* We decided to go back*
* to the village for now.*
**[08:05] Young Slave**
Sadeena-oneechan, we'll always
be together now, right?
**[08:09] Sadeena**
Yes, we will!
**[08:10] Sadeena**
'Cause now I'm in love with Naofumi-chan!
**[08:16] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan, what are you doing?
**[08:19] Raphtalia**
Did you get into a drinking contest
with her? You didn't, right?
**[08:22] Naofumi**
I did not!
**[08:23] Naofumi**
I did have a drink with her, but...
**[08:26] Sadeena**
And you've grown up so much,
Raphtalia-chan! You're making me cry!
**[08:38] Naofumi**
*We've got more people in the village now,*
**[08:41] Naofumi**
*but our defenses are still full of holes.*
**[08:43] Naofumi**
* If we want to keep it safe, we have*
* to strengthen our defenses fast.*
**[08:53] Naofumi**
* Atla got better each time*
* she took the potion.*
**[09:01] Melty**
We're going to need to get serious about
selling these Bio Plants and medicines.
**[09:05] Melty**
We don't have enough money to
build proper facilities yet.
**[09:10] Melty**
Hey, Naofumi.
**[09:12] Melty**
Are things okay with all
these new slave kids around?
**[09:16] Naofumi**
I don't know.
**[09:17] Naofumi**
We're starting to make more
money trading, at least.
**[09:19] Melty**
I don't just mean the money.
**[09:22] Melty**
We're the parents of what's essentially
a huge family now, right?
**[09:25] Melty**
You're getting up really early to
make everyone breakfast, right?
**[09:30] Sadeena**
That's right.
**[09:33] Sadeena**
The lights are on in here all night.
**[09:37] Sadeena**
It's good to have more friends.
**[09:41] Sadeena**
But don't work too hard, okay?
**[09:44] Sadeena**
And...
**[09:47] Naofumi**
And?
**[09:53] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan!
**[09:55] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama is still working!
**[09:58] Raphtalia**
You can't bring alcohol in here!
**[10:00] Sadeena**
Aw, Raphtalia-chan!
**[10:03] Sadeena**
To me, this is water! Water!
**[10:08] Sadeena**
It's the water of life, though!
**[10:40] Naofumi**
I'm glad you were able to take
the bandages off this soon. Aren't you?
**[10:45] Atla**
Naofumi-sama, thank you!
**[10:50] Naofumi**
Hey, are you okay?
**[10:52] Naofumi**
Don't push yourself too hard!
**[10:56] Naofumi**
I'm going to Lute Village to talk about
trade routes and doing business there.
**[11:01] Naofumi**
Go for a walk to practice
using your legs again.
**[11:04] Atla**
All right.
**[11:07] Fohl**
Let's go, Atla.
**[11:09] Atla**
Okay, Onii-sama.
**[11:16] Atla**
It smells so good.
**[11:18] Fohl**
Yeah...
**[11:21] Fohl**
*This feeling... I've felt it before.*
**[11:26] Atla**
Onii-sama...
**[11:29] Fohl**
Sorry. What is it?
**[11:31] Atla**
I want to practice standing up again today.
**[11:34] Fohl**
Oh, yeah.
**[11:39] Fohl**
Okay, Atla, I'll let go.
**[11:42] Atla**
All right!
**[11:50] Fohl**
That's all for today.
**[11:53] Atla**
No.
**[11:55] Atla**
Just one more time... please.
**[12:22] Atla**
Onii-sama!
**[12:24] Fohl**
Yeah... yeah!
**[12:26] Fohl**
You did it, Atla!
**[12:31] Fohl**
Atla! You stood up!
**[12:51] Ake Squadman**
Wake up the kids!
**[12:53] Ake Squadman**
We're under attack!
**[13:02] Slaver Boss**
Demi-humans from this village
fetch a high price.
**[13:05] Slaver Boss**
Take 'em alive, men!
**[13:13] Slaver**
Throw down your swords!
**[13:15] Slaver**
Or there's no telling what'll
happen to this kid!
**[13:18] Keel**
Let her go, coward!
**[13:21] Slaver**
Taking hostages is a tactic
just like any other.
**[13:24] Slaver**
Now give up and throw down your weapon.
**[13:28] Keel**
Damn it!
**[13:33] Slaver**
Search every house one by one!
**[13:35] Slaver**
Right!
**[13:54] Slaver**
If we sell them, we'll never have
to work a day in our lives!
**[13:59] Kids**
Our homes are on fire!
**[14:01] Kids**
Mom... Dad...
**[14:03] Slaver Boss**
Do it!
**[14:18] Keel**
Our flag...
**[14:25] (Flashback) Naofumi**
I'll hide a signal flare here.
**[14:27] (Flashback) Naofumi**
If something happens, fire it.
**[14:45] Slaver**
What are you doing?
**[14:53] Fohl**
Atla!
**[14:54] Slaver Boss**
I guess you sent up a signal.
**[14:56] Slaver Boss**
Too bad, though.
**[14:58] Slaver Boss**
By the time your friends get back,
it'll be too late.
**[15:02] Slaver Boss**
A white tiger? That's rare.
**[15:05] Fohl**
I'll never forgive you
if you hurt my sister!
**[15:09] Slaver**
Stay still, damn it!
**[15:14] Slaver**
What the hell are you doing?
**[15:18] Slaver Boss**
I don't like the look in his eyes.
**[15:20] Slaver Boss**
If we've got this many slaves, we're going
to need to use one as an example.
**[15:31] Atla**
Onii-sama!
**[15:35] Slaver Boss**
Bye.
**[15:48] Slaver Boss**
The Shield Hero?
**[15:51] Naofumi**
Fohl, well done!
**[15:53] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[16:01] Slaver Boss**
Damn it!
**[16:02] Slaver Boss**
How'd he get back here so fast?
**[16:03] Naofumi**
You underestimated how fast we can move.
**[16:06] Naofumi**
You're going to regret
attacking this village!
**[16:22] Naofumi**
Don't let a single slaver escape!
**[16:24] Naofumi**
We spent so much time building
those houses they burned.
**[16:27] Naofumi**
Do you know how much it's
going to cost to repair them?
**[16:29] Slaver Boss**
I don't care!
**[16:30] Slaver Boss**
Shield Demon, die by my blade!
**[16:38] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[16:48] Slaver Boss**
What is this? Let me out!
**[16:52] Naofumi**
Sure thing.
**[16:54] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[16:59] Raphtalia**
Brave Blade: Mist!
**[17:13] Slaver Boss**
I s-surrender! I surrender!
**[17:18] Raphtalia**
I'll never forget your face!
**[17:20] Raphtalia**
You're the one who kidnapped us back then!
**[17:23] Slaver Boss**
If you kill me, this village is finished.
**[17:27] Slaver Boss**
Do you understand that?
**[17:28] Naofumi**
Shut up.
**[17:29] Naofumi**
We're going to execute you right here.
**[17:36] Eclair**
Sorry I'm late!
**[17:38] Naofumi**
Perfect timing.
**[17:41] Naofumi**
We're just about to execute this scum.
**[17:44] Eclair**
I see.
**[17:45] Eclair**
I guess you don't need help.
**[17:50] Eclair**
This mark...
**[17:52] Eclair**
You...
**[17:55] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[17:57] Eclair**
These marks belong to a
noble family from a region
**[18:00] Eclair**
that were especially devout
worshipers of the Three Heroes.
**[18:04] Naofumi**
You're not going to tell me that we can't
execute him because the nobles will be upset?
**[18:09] Eclair**
I'm afraid so.
**[18:15] Naofumi**
We just have to make sure he's alive, right?
**[18:18] Eclair**
But...
**[18:20] Naofumi**
You're going to become slaves.
**[18:22] Slaver Boss**
You're going to sell me as a slave?
**[18:25] Slaver Boss**
You know that's impossible.
**[18:26] Naofumi**
Don't worry. You're heading to Siltvelt.
**[18:30] Slaver Boss**
Siltvelt?
**[18:31] Slaver Boss**
The c-country that worships the Shield Demon?
**[18:35] Naofumi**
None other than the Shield Hero himself
is offering them a gift of slaves.
**[18:40] Naofumi**
I'm sure you'll be well-treated.
**[18:43] Naofumi**
Even if you'd rather be dead!
**[18:46] Slaver Boss**
No! Please!
**[18:48] Slaver Boss**
I'll pay as much as you want!
**[18:50] Slaver Boss**
I don't want to be a slave!
**[18:51] Naofumi**
I don't care!
**[18:52] Naofumi**
You can regret what you've
done until the day you die!
**[18:58] Slaver Boss**
Please, no!
**[19:00] Slaver Boss**
I don't want to be a slave!
**[19:02] Slaver Boss**
Please!
**[19:04] Slaver Boss**
No!
**[19:07] Naofumi**
* I explained things to the*
* Zeltoble slave merchant,*
**[19:09] Naofumi**
* and had him put all the*
* slavers up for auction.*
**[19:13] Naofumi**
*It was a lot of extra work,*
**[19:16] Naofumi**
* but we came out of it with*
* a decent amount of money.*
**[19:20] Melty**
I'm surprised you were able
to do that to a noble.
**[19:22] Melty**
You'll need to make sure nobody
decides to get even with you.
**[19:25] Naofumi**
I made sure the rumors got around
when I went to sell our wares.
**[19:29] Naofumi**
Nobody else will try to
mess with the village.
**[19:33] Naofumi**
"The foolish humans who attacked
the village of the Shield Hero,
**[19:37] Naofumi**
who protects the demi-humans."
**[19:39] Naofumi**
Siltvelt's nobility were willing to pay
a high price when we put it like that.
**[19:45] Atla**
I can't sleep... Would you like
to talk for a bit, Naofumi-sama?
**[19:50] Naofumi**
Just for a little.
**[19:53] Atla**
Naofumi-sama, I couldn't do
anything when we were attacked.
**[19:58] Atla**
I've always been nothing but
a burden to my brother.
**[20:02] Atla**
I don't want to spend the rest of my
life being protected by my brother.
**[20:06] Atla**
I want to be strong, too.
**[20:08] Naofumi**
Don't worry.
**[20:10] Naofumi**
I'll make sure you're all
able to protect yourselves.
**[20:14] Atla**
Okay, Naofumi-sama.
**[20:17] Atla**
I'll try and be the shield
that protects you.
**[20:23] Naofumi**
You will, huh?
**[20:35] Naofumi**
Watch her carefully so she doesn't
run off on her own again, okay?
**[20:39] Fohl**
I...
**[20:41] Fohl**
I have to get stronger.
**[20:45] Fohl**
I can't protect Atla like this!
**[20:49] Naofumi**
The both of you are the same, huh?
**[20:51] Naofumi**
Tomorrow, I'm going to reset Sadeena's level.
**[20:54] Naofumi**
Come with me.
**[20:58] Naofumi**
* I reset Sadeena and Fohl's levels so that*
* they could take advantage of my hero buffs.*
**[21:04] Naofumi**
* I'm expecting a lot out of them*
* when it comes time to fight.*
**[21:07] Naofumi**
* I need to start getting everyone*
* ready for the battle with the Phoenix.*
**[21:22] King**
The Shield!
**[21:34] Fohl**
Hey...
**[21:36] Atla**
Onii-sama?
**[21:38] King**
Her eyes...
**[21:40] Fohl**
Do you need something from my sister?
**[21:43] King**
No... What's your name?
**[21:46] Fohl**
Fohl.
**[21:48] Atla**
I'm Atla.
**[21:50] King**
I see...
**[22:00] Atla**
He felt so much like you that I thought
you'd split in two, Onii-sama.
**[22:14] Mirelia**
I see... so he did, did he?
**[22:18] Mirelia**
Atla-san, may I see your face up close?
**[22:31] Mirelia**
Do you know the stories of
the Staff Hero's heroics?
**[22:35] Naofumi**
There are stories about that loser?
**[22:38] Mirelia**
His name was Lüge Lansarz Faubrey.
**[22:42] Mirelia**
For the sake of his beloved sister,
he abandoned his nation and his name,
**[22:46] Mirelia**
and became an ordinary soldier in Melromarc,
then went on to win fame and glory.
**[22:52] Mirelia**
He used his immense intellect and strategic
talent all for the sake of his sister.
**[22:58] Mirelia**
And the world tested him, again and again.
**[23:02] Mirelia**
His sister was kidnapped by Siltvelt.
**[23:07] Mirelia**
With his sister missing, he was
driven mad with vengeance.
**[23:12] Mirelia**
He defeated their king, Tyran Ga Fayon.
**[23:19] Mirelia**
Now, let's get to the point.
**[23:22] Naofumi**
Yeah. You called us here because you've
got something to tell us, right?
**[23:27] Mirelia**
Yes. We've found the Spear Hero, Motoyasu-sama.

**[00:07] Naofumi**
Motoyasu...
**[00:10] (Flashback) Mirelia**
He seems to be searching for his comrades,
**[00:13] (Flashback) Mirelia**
who parted ways with him after
the Spirit Tortoise fight.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Mirelia**
One of them, we know,
is in a town near Melromarc.
**[00:21] (Flashback) Naofumi**
I see.
**[00:23] (Flashback) Naofumi**
So, what about the others?
**[00:25] (Flashback) Mirelia**
We haven't found anything.
**[00:27] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Mal...
**[00:30] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Bitch... was, as we last discussed,
last seen near the northern border.
**[00:36] (Flashback) Naofumi**
You can't use her slave crest to find her?
**[00:39] (Flashback) Mirelia**
We can't. She's blocking it somehow.
**[00:45] (Flashback) Naofumi**
And Ren and Itsuki?
**[00:48] (Flashback) Mirelia**
As of now, we know nothing.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Mirelia**
But we've confirmed that all of the
Sword Hero's companions are dead.
**[00:58] (Flashback) Mirelia**
Iwatani-sama, it won't be much
longer before the Phoenix revives.
**[01:02] (Flashback) Mirelia**
I'll ask you to please persuade the
Spear Hero while there's still time.
**[01:11] Naofumi**
Persuade him, huh?
**[01:14] Naofumi**
*It doesn't matter how many times you ask.*
**[01:16] Naofumi**
* I have no intention of*
* reconciling with those morons.*
**[01:19] (Flashback) Fitoria**
If the heroes are fighting each other,
**[01:22] (Flashback) Fitoria**
instead of the Waves of Catastrophe,
**[01:24] (Flashback) Fitoria**
I must kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[01:32] Naofumi**
I can leave Eclair in charge of my lands...
**[01:37] Naofumi**
And start with Motoyasu.
**[01:53] Motoyasu**
*Where did you all go?*
**[01:57] Motoyasu**
*Come back to me...*
**[01:59] Motoyasu**
*Soon.*
**[02:03] Motoyasu**
*Elena...*
**[02:04] Motoyasu**
*Myne...*

Yah! Yah!

Yaaah!
**[03:53] Old Lady**
Steady breaths!
**[03:56] Eclair**
Keep your focus on your blade,

Yah! Yah!
**[04:04] Students**
Yah!
**[04:13] Students**
Thanks!
**[04:14] Students**
Looking good!
**[04:17] Students**
Okay!
**[04:18] Demi-Human**
Naofumi-chan!
**[04:21] Demi-Human B**
Hey, call him "His Lordship!"
**[04:24] Demi-Human C**
Make me breakfast!
**[04:27] Demi-Human D**
I'm starving!
**[04:29] Naofumi**
Fine, fine.
**[04:32] Kids**
Yay!
**[04:34] Raphtalia**
It feels like everybody's
settled in nicely here.
**[04:37] Melty**
Yes. Thanks to that, we'll have the
outer walls done sooner than expected.
**[04:42] Melty**
Right now, our problems are getting the
money we'll need for food and things,
**[04:44] Melty**
and the money to improve our domain.
**[04:46] Naofumi**
Can we get any from the government?
**[04:47] Melty**
We can't expect much.
**[04:49] Melty**
Every place is trying to rebuild.
**[04:52] Naofumi**
I see.
**[04:57] Melty**
How'd things go with Sadeena-san
and Fohl's level reset?
**[05:01] Naofumi**
We got it done.
**[05:03] Naofumi**
I heard they'd need to do some rehab
to make up for the lost levels.
**[05:07] Naofumi**
But from the look of it, they'll be fine.
**[05:10] Raphtalia**
Both of them have worked really
hard to get where they are.
**[05:15] Naofumi**
Unlike your status, what you've gained
from training isn't lost during a reset.
**[05:22] Naofumi**
Now we just need to raise our levels
to get ready for the battle with the Phoenix.
**[05:25] Naofumi**
The problem comes after
they hit their limits.
**[05:28] Raphtalia**
Is the only solution for them to train more?
**[05:31] Naofumi**
Probably.
**[05:32] Filo**
Is food ready yet?
**[05:35] Filo**
I'm so hungry!
**[05:37] Naofumi**
It's almost done. Go play
over there until it's ready.
**[05:41] Filo**
Okay.
**[05:44] Filo**
I'm starving...
**[05:58] Sadeena**
I could eat everything on the table!
**[06:02] Naofumi**
It's too early in the day to start drinking.
**[06:04] Sadeena**
I know that!
**[06:13] Naofumi**
And who are you?
**[06:16] S'yne**
I'm S'yne.
**[06:21] Filo**
You're the clown girl, right?
**[06:23] Raphtalia**
Clown?
**[06:24] Naofumi**
You know her, Filo?
**[06:26] Filo**
You do too, Master!
**[06:29] S'yne**
This should remind you.
**[06:32] Naofumi**
Murder Clown?
**[06:34] Naofumi**
What are you doing in the village?
**[06:35] S'yne**
I walked?
**[06:36] Naofumi**
I didn't ask how you got here.
**[06:38] Filo**
Did you come to eat?
**[06:40] S'yne**
Yes.
**[06:40] Naofumi**
Just so you know, this isn't free food.
**[06:43] Naofumi**
It's for the villagers.
**[06:45] S'yne**
Okay.
**[06:46] S'yne**
I'll give you this, then.
**[06:51] Naofumi**
It's not about the money.
**[06:54] Naofumi**
What I'm trying to say is...
**[06:57] Naofumi**
Just leave the village.
**[06:59] S'yne**
Even though I protected
everyone from slavers?
**[07:02] S'yne**
Why?
**[07:03] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[07:04] Naofumi**
No.
**[07:05] Naofumi**
I can't trust you.
**[07:07] S'yne**
I see.
**[07:35] Naofumi**
Hey, Filo.
**[07:36] Naofumi**
I have good news for you.
**[07:38] Naofumi**
But first, let's finish breakfast.
**[07:42] Filo**
Carriage! Carriage! Carriage!
**[07:45] Filo**
My carriage!
**[07:48] Filo**
Hooray! Hooray!
**[07:52] Naofumi**
Okay.
**[07:53] Naofumi**
You guys raise your level.
**[07:55] Fohl**
I know.
**[07:56] Sadeena**
Sure thing!
**[07:57] Sadeena**
I'll do my best!
**[08:00] Old Lady**
And you'll be training with me, Rishia.
**[08:04] Eclair**
I'll help, too.
**[08:07] Naofumi**
Don't let anyone suspicious into
the village while I'm gone.
**[08:11] Melty**
We know.
**[08:12] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[08:13] Filo**
Okay!
**[08:14] All**
Bye!
**[08:15] All**
Have fun!
**[08:15] Raphtalia**
See you later!
**[08:25] Raphtalia**
It's been so long since we've
been on a journey like this.
**[08:28] Raphtalia**
It reminds me of when we first met.
**[08:30] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[08:32] Naofumi**
We can do some trading
on the way home, maybe.
**[08:34] Filo & Raphtalia**
Yay!
**[08:44] Elena**
How did I end up like this?
**[08:58] Raphtalia**
This is...
**[09:01] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[09:02] Naofumi**
But for now, we need to
find the Cardinal Hero.
**[09:05] Townsperson**
Oh, you'll want the next street over, then.
**[09:08] Raphtalia**
Thank you.
**[09:10] Townsperson**
Oh, and head to one of the taverns
on the outskirts of town.
**[09:13] Townsperson**
I saw someone there who looked like a hero.
**[09:15] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[09:19] Raphtalia**
This should be it, right?
**[09:21] Motoyasu**
Elena, you're alive!
**[09:24] Motoyasu**
I'm so glad! I thought
I'd never see you again!
**[09:26] Elena**
Oh, if it isn't the Spear Hero.
**[09:29] Motoyasu**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[09:31] Elena**
I'm not sure what to tell you.
**[09:32] Motoyasu**
Listen, Elena.
**[09:34] Motoyasu**
We've had a lot of adventures
together, right?
**[09:36] Motoyasu**
Let's join up and save the
world together again!
**[09:39] Elena**
I'm sorry, but that's impossible.
**[09:42] Elena**
I've been forced to take
over the family business.
**[09:44] Elena**
Now, good day.
**[09:48] Elena**
If you want party members, head to a tavern.
**[09:51] Motoyasu**
No, I want you...
**[09:52] Elena**
Motoyasu-sama... No, Spear Hero.
**[09:56] Elena**
I couldn't take any more traveling with you.
**[09:59] Motoyasu**
What are you...
**[10:00] Elena**
The days when you had fame
and riches are long gone.
**[10:04] Elena**
What are you right now?
**[10:06] Motoyasu**
I'm a hero...
**[10:08] Elena**
You're a vagrant.
**[10:10] Elena**
If you want to be with me,
try to get somewhere in life.
**[10:12] Elena**
Like the Shield Hero.
**[10:21] Motoyasu**
N-Naofumi!
**[10:22] Naofumi**
We've finally found you, Motoyasu!
**[10:28] Naofumi**
Hey, wait!
**[10:30] Naofumi**
Hear me out!
**[10:31] Naofumi**
Motoyasu!
**[10:38] Naofumi**
Damn it.
**[10:40] Raphtalia**
Where did he go?
**[10:42] Naofumi**
I don't know.
**[10:43] Naofumi**
Now then, it's been a while
since we've talked to her...
**[10:52] Elena**
Of course. You'll be paying, right?
**[10:54] Naofumi**
You'd better tell me everything
you know in exchange.
**[10:57] Elena**
I know.
**[11:01] Elena**
Motoyasu-sama headed to the
Spirit Tortoise's kingdom
**[11:04] Elena**
with the intent of beating it ahead of you.
**[11:13] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
No need to run, men!
**[11:15] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
I, the Spear Hero,
will defeat this thing easily!
**[11:18] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
See for yourself how much stronger
I am than the Shield Hero!
**[11:22] (Flashback) Motoyasu's Party**
Right!
**[11:23] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Let's go!
**[11:24] (Flashback) Myne**
Zweit Hellfire!
**[11:32] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Take this and this and this!
**[11:35] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Yah!
**[11:43] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Here I go!
**[11:44] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Thunder Spear!
**[11:55] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Wh-What...
**[11:56] (Flashback) Elena**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[11:57] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
R-Right!
**[11:58] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Meteor Thrust!
**[12:00] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Lightning Spear!
**[12:06] (Flashback) Myne**
Hey...
**[12:07] (Flashback) Myne**
I don't think this is working...
**[12:13] (Flashback) Motoyasu**
Take this!
**[12:16] Elena**
I picked the wrong guy to suck up to.
**[12:20] Elena**
Oh, trying to have me arrested won't work.
**[12:23] Elena**
I've already given all the information
I know to the authorities.
**[12:26] Elena**
What? That's all I know.
**[12:29] Naofumi**
There's one more thing I want to know.
**[12:31] Naofumi**
Where are the taverns in this town?
**[12:36] Background Chatter**
Really?
**[12:39] Background Chatter**
This food looks so good!
**[12:42] Background Chatter**
Waiter!
**[12:53] Ren**
Naofumi...
**[12:56] Naofumi**
It's been a while, Ren.
**[13:00] Naofumi**
Wait, wait.
**[13:01] Naofumi**
I haven't come to arrest you or anything!
**[13:07] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo...
**[13:08] Naofumi**
Sorry, but can you go look
for Motoyasu for me?
**[13:11] Raphtalia**
But...
**[13:12] Naofumi**
Leave us alone for a bit.
**[13:14] Raphtalia**
Very well.
**[13:15] Filo**
Okay.
**[13:20] Naofumi**
Let's sit down, I guess.
**[13:26] Naofumi**
I just met Motoyasu.
**[13:28] Naofumi**
He came to this town to meet one
of his old party members, I guess.
**[13:31] Naofumi**
He got away before we got
a chance to talk, though.
**[13:33] Ren**
I see.
**[13:35] Ren**
His comrades are alive, then.
**[13:37] Naofumi**
I heard.
**[13:38] Naofumi**
All yours are...
**[13:39] Ren**
Yeah. They're all dead.
**[13:47] Ren**
I lost because they were weak.
**[13:50] Ren**
It's not my fault.
**[13:54] Ren**
It's not! It's not my fault at all!
**[13:57] Naofumi**
Ren, I'm sorry about what
happened to your party.
**[14:01] Naofumi**
But you can still fight.
**[14:03] Naofumi**
There's no time left before
the Phoenix's seal breaks.
**[14:06] Naofumi**
This time, we heroes need
to face it together.
**[14:10] Naofumi**
Please, help me.
**[14:13] Ren**
All right.
**[14:16] Naofumi**
Good. So here's what I
know about the Phoenix...
**[14:20] Myne**
You mustn't believe the Shield Demon!
**[14:24] Naofumi**
Bitch!
**[14:26] Myne**
You said you'd believe only me, remember?
**[14:31] Ren**
I didn't say I'd believe you.
**[14:33] Ren**
And Motoyasu is still
looking for his friends.
**[14:36] Myne**
The Spear Hero is not a true hero.
**[14:38] Myne**
I told you that!
**[14:40] Myne**
I told you that from the
moment I laid eyes on you,
**[14:43] Myne**
I knew you were the hero
destined to save the world!
**[14:46] Myne**
And the Spear forced himself
on me, just like the Shield.
**[14:50] Ren**
Motoyasu... That bastard!
**[14:52] Naofumi**
Come on, Ren. You're not telling
me you believe her.
**[14:56] Naofumi**
You saw the trial at the castle.
**[14:58] Myne**
Stop it! Or are you trying
to shame me again?
**[15:01] Naofumi**
What?
**[15:01] Myne**
Ren-sama, that trial was a farce!
A way to steal the throne from me!
**[15:06] Myne**
My mother joined forces with the
wicked Shield to humiliate me,
**[15:11] Myne**
so that her slave, Melty,
could attain the throne!
**[15:16] Myne**
And the Shield Demon here was secretly
controlling the Spirit Tortoise
**[15:19] Myne**
so he could gain the people's trust!
**[15:22] Myne**
He's the one responsible for
the death of your party!
**[15:25] Naofumi**
You...
**[15:27] Ren**
Is that true?
**[15:28] Naofumi**
Ren!
**[15:29] Myne**
I'm not lying.
**[15:31] Myne**
See? My slave crest isn't activating,
and that's proof.
**[15:36] Naofumi**
How?!
**[15:38] Myne**
Do you believe me now?
**[15:40] Ren**
I...
**[15:44] Myne**
I care about you more than anyone!
**[15:47] Myne**
The entire world may call you a criminal,
**[15:51] Myne**
but I believe you!
**[15:52] Myne**
I believe you fought for
the sake of the world!
**[15:57] Naofumi**
*You absolute...*
**[16:04] Myne**
Even if you can't believe in
anyone anymore, I believe in you!
**[16:08] Myne**
Ren-sama... No, the great Sword Hero!
**[16:12] Naofumi**
Shut the hell up!
**[16:13] Motoyasu**
Wait!
**[16:14] Naofumi**
Motoyasu?
**[16:17] Motoyasu**
What are you doing with Ren?
**[16:18] Motoyasu**
I've been looking for you this whole time!
**[16:21] Motoyasu**
Myne... I mean, Slut!
**[16:22] Mune**
Ren-sama, did you hear that?
**[16:25] Mune**
He told me he's been trying to
find me, but he called me a slut!
**[16:29] Mune**
That's proof that he forced
himself on me every night!
**[16:31] Mune**
He said he'd kill my father if I refused!
**[16:35] Motoyasu**
Liar!
**[16:36] Ren**
Did you do that?
**[16:38] Motoyasu**
No, Ren! Slut is lying to you!
**[16:40] Motoyasu**
Believe me!
**[16:41] Ren**
How can I?
**[16:43] Myne**
*...and tore my clothes off!*
**[16:43] Motoyasu**
Listen to me, Ren!
**[16:44] Motoyasu**
I didn't do anything to
her! Or threaten her!
**[16:46] Motoyasu**
*If she hadn't asked me to wait till dawn*
**[16:47] Motoyasu**
* and call the knights,*
* I would've cut you down myself!*
**[16:48] Ren**
* You're going to run as*
* soon as things go south?*
**[16:52] Motoyasu**
As the Spear Hero, I...
**[16:56] Naofumi**
I'm amazed it's possible for one
human being to lie that much, Bitch.
**[17:01] Ren**
Stay away from Myne!
**[17:03] Naofumi**
Listen, Ren. Think very carefully about
who's more trustworthy, me or her.
**[17:08] Ren**
Shut up!
**[17:09] Ren**
Myne's right! You were behind it all!
**[17:12] Ren**
The reason my party all died,
and that I'm being blamed for it,
**[17:16] Ren**
is you, Naofumi!
**[17:20] Naofumi**
Oh, so that's how it is, huh?
**[17:22] Naofumi**
If that's how you're gonna be, then I've
got some shit to say to you, too.
**[17:26] Naofumi**
Your buddies all died?
**[17:28] Naofumi**
That's 'cause you treated this whole
thing like a video game, isn't it?
**[17:30] Ren**
What?
**[17:31] Naofumi**
It's not your fault, huh?
**[17:33] Naofumi**
Yeah, it's a lot easier when you can
just blame everything on somebody else!
**[17:36] Naofumi**
This world's not a game.
**[17:38] Naofumi**
You had people who believed in you,
and followed you wherever you went!
**[17:41] Naofumi**
And you...
**[17:42] Naofumi**
Right now, you're a failure not just
as a hero, but as a human being!
**[17:47] Ren**
No! It's not... It's not my fault!
**[17:50] Myne**
Ren-sama! You mustn't
believe the Shield Demon!
**[17:53] Naofumi**
Get lost, Bitch!
**[17:55] Naofumi**
And shut your mouth before
I kill you right here.
**[17:57] Naofumi**
You know exactly what you
should be doing right now.
**[18:00] Naofumi**
But you're refusing to do it because it
would mean admitting you screwed up!
**[18:05] Naofumi**
Am I wrong?
**[18:06] Ren**
Shut up!
**[18:07] Ren**
Shut your mouth!
**[18:08] Naofumi**
I'll say it as many times as I have to.
**[18:09] Naofumi**
You know exactly what you should
be doing right this very moment.
**[18:14] Naofumi**
I can tell you for sure at least that
it's not listening to that whore.
**[18:19] Ren**
Shut up!
**[18:24] Ren**
It's not my fault!
**[18:26] Ren**
It's not!
**[18:28] Naofumi**
You're using a skill in the
middle of a crowded building?
**[18:34] Ren**
I'm going to fight for Myne...
for the person who believes in me!
**[18:38] Naofumi**
Don't do it!
**[18:39] Ren**
Meteor Slash!
**[18:45] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:49] Crowd**
Oh no!
**[18:56] Ren**
Impossible!
**[18:57] Myne**
Ren-sama, let's flee!
**[19:01] Ren**
This is impossible!
**[19:03] Ren**
You have to be cheating somehow!
**[19:04] Naofumi**
Look at the reality in front of you.
**[19:07] Ren**
Flashing Sword!
**[19:10] Myne**
Ren-sama!
**[19:14] Myne**
Get off me!
**[19:16] Myne**
You abandoned me!
**[19:20] Myne**
Now!
**[19:20] Ren**
Portal Sword!
**[19:31] Naofumi**
You're the one who abandoned him.
**[19:34] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, are you okay?
**[19:37] Naofumi**
Yeah. I am, at least.
**[19:40] Motoyasu**
Why... Why are Bitch and Elena both...?
**[19:40] Naofumi**
Motoyasu! Hey, Motoyasu!
**[19:43] Motoyasu**
I believed in everyone...
**[19:44] Motoyasu**
Why does this keep happening?
**[19:45] Motoyasu**
The townspeople are all so
cold to me... I'm so tired.
**[19:48] Motoyasu**
I'll never trust a woman again...
**[19:49] Raphtalia**
Is he okay?
**[19:50] Naofumi**
I don't care.
**[19:52] Naofumi**
Can you guys see if there are any wounded?
**[19:57] Naofumi**
I'm so tired.
**[20:05] Motoyasu**
Why am I the only one this happens to?
**[20:09] Motoyasu**
Why did this happen...
**[20:12] Motoyasu**
I never want to talk to a woman again...
**[20:13] Filo**
*Remember the fluffy clouds in the sky!*
**[20:19] Filo**
*How they change shape every second!*
**[20:25] Filo**
*Yesterday and now are different, right?*
**[20:28] Filo**
*So what about tomorrow?*
**[20:31] Filo**
*It's okay if things don't go your way*
**[20:37] Filo**
* I'm sure that stuff's important if*
* you want to get big and strong*
**[20:46] Filo**
*So raise your head!*
**[20:51] Filo**
* I'll stuff all the sparklies*
* in a box and give them to you*
**[20:57] Filo**
*I'll tie it up with a special ribbon*
**[21:03] Filo**
* A wind will come to blow*
* all your troubles away*
**[21:09] Filo**
*So hang on tight and stay close to me*
**[21:15] Filo**
*Take my hand in yours!*
**[21:17] Filo**
*Hug!*
**[21:18] Motoyasu**
Filo-chan...
**[21:21] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, what is this?
**[21:24] Naofumi**
Maybe something she gained from
her time as a Humming Fairy.
**[21:34] Filo**
Eat this and cheer up!
**[21:42] Motoyasu**
Filo-tan!
**[21:44] Motoyasu**
Filo-tan!
**[21:52] Naofumi**
Motoyasu...
**[21:54] Naofumi**
I'm glad you're doing better.
**[21:56] Naofumi**
Believe in the method I gave you to get
stronger and work to get ready for the fight.
**[22:00] Motoyasu**
Understood!
**[22:07] Naofumi**
This is everything, right?
**[22:09] Raphtalia**
What about the Spear Hero?
**[22:11] Naofumi**
From the look of it,
he's not ready to come with us.
**[22:14] Naofumi**
I'll explain the situation to the
Queen and head back to the village.
**[22:18] Filo**
I want to head back...
**[22:22] Motoyasu**
Good morning, Father!
**[22:30] Naofumi**
"Father"?
**[22:32] Motoyasu**
Yes.
**[22:35] Motoyasu**
Your daughter saved me in my darkest hour,
and taught me about true love!
**[22:39] Motoyasu**
I promise to make her happy in this life,
the next, and the life after that!
**[22:44] Motoyasu**
Please, give me your daughter!
**[22:52] Motoyasu**
Let's be happy together, Filo-tan!
**[22:55] Filo**
No!
**[22:59] Raphtalia**
Stop it, you're scaring her!
**[23:01] Motoyasu**
Don't get in my way, raccoon pig!
**[23:07] Raphtalia**
"Pig"?
**[23:10] Raphtalia**
Let's get going.
**[23:12] Naofumi**
Y-Yeah...
**[23:21] Motoyasu**
Filo-tan! Filo-tan!
**[23:23] Motoyasu**
Don't leave me!
**[23:25] Motoyasu**
Filo-tan!

He's not following us.
**[00:11] Naofumi**
That asshole Motoyasu...
**[00:14] Filo**
My carriage...
**[00:19] Naofumi**
We'll just have to give up on it for now.
**[00:21] Naofumi**
Motoyasu might be staking it out.
**[00:27] Motoyasu**
Filo-tan!
**[00:31] Naofumi**
We'll go back to get it when it's safe.
**[00:33] Filo**
Okay.
**[00:36] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[00:39] Naofumi**
Filo, stop.
**[00:50] Man**
Are you the Shield Hero?
**[00:52] Naofumi**
Yes.
**[00:56] Man**
I see...

Then...
**[01:02] Man B**
...die!
**[01:05] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!

You're wide open!
**[01:11] Raphtalia**
Who are you people?
**[01:16] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[01:18] Naofumi**
Zweit Aura!

You managed to escape with your lives, huh?
**[05:03] Man B**
But what about next time?
**[05:21] S'yne**
It's ok*y now.
**[05:25] Man**
Well, well. If it isn't the vassal
weapon wielder from a destroyed world?
**[05:30] Man B**
You're still alive, huh?
**[05:33] Man**
But the Cardinal Heroes of this world don't
seem worth coming to save, you know.
**[05:41] Man B**
They're so much weaker than we expected.
**[05:44] Raphtalia**
We're weak, you say?
**[05:52] Man B**
She suddenly got faster!
**[05:55] Raphtalia**
When you dispelled the enchantment
Naofumi-sama put on me,
**[05:58] Raphtalia**
you dispelled my curse as well!
**[06:15] Man B**
I-I should retreat...
**[06:35] S'yne**
Thi*s isn't the end.
**[06:37] S'yne**
Th*y will ret*rn.
**[06:40] Naofumi**
That was pretty convenient
timing, wasn't it?
**[06:44] S'yne**
Um, are you ok*y?
**[06:46] Naofumi**
You showed up right after they attacked.
**[06:50] Naofumi**
You sure you're not working with them?
**[06:52] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, don't you
think that's going too far?
**[06:56] Filo**
That's right, Master.
**[06:58] Naofumi**
But...
**[07:25] Naofumi**
I still don't trust her, okay?
**[07:28] Raphtalia**
But she seemed really hungry...
**[07:31] Filo**
I'm hungry, too!
**[07:34] Naofumi**
Now, what's your name?
**[07:39] S'yne**
S'yne Lokk.
**[07:41] Naofumi**
Why did you save us?
**[07:43] S'yne**
Those men w*re working with the
heroes who destroyed my w*rld.
**[07:48] Naofumi**
Your world?
**[07:50] Raphtalia**
So there are other worlds besides
the last one we went to.
**[07:55] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[07:56] Naofumi**
And they called you the vassal weapon
wielder from a destroyed world?
**[08:03] S'yne**
The ******* in my ***** was killed,
and the w*rld was destroyed.
**[08:10] Naofumi**
I see.
**[08:12] Naofumi**
And?
**[08:14] Naofumi**
Why don't you tell me why you showed
up at just the perfect moment?
**[08:27] S'yne**
I put this on y*u.
**[08:31] S'yne**
And wa*ched you.
**[08:34] Naofumi**
Is that like a portal skill?
**[08:38] Naofumi**
When did you put that on me?
**[08:39] S'yne**
The coliseum.
**[08:41] Naofumi**
In the middle of that fight?
**[08:43] Naofumi**
Wait, so you've been watching me?
**[08:48] S'yne**
I don't want to s*e any more
weapon wield*rs kill*d.
**[08:54] S'yne**
I want to h*lp you, if you'll let me.
**[09:17] Naofumi**
*She said her world was destroyed.*
**[09:22] Naofumi**
* Which means there are other worlds,*
* just like I thought.*
**[09:26] Naofumi**
*I'm curious about what they said about her*
**[09:28] Naofumi**
* being a vassal weapon wielder*
* from a destroyed world.*
**[09:34] Naofumi**
* If I believe her, will that*
* put everyone in danger?*
**[09:40] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, she saved our lives.
**[09:46] Raphtalia**
Couldn't we let her stay
here and see what happens?
**[09:53] Naofumi**
I'm not believing her just yet.
**[09:55] Naofumi**
I'll be keeping an eye on her.
**[10:26] Boy**
Make it sit on my palm, miss!
**[10:29] Girl**
On mine, too!
**[10:31] Raphtalia**
She's made a lot of friends already, huh?
**[10:33] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[10:35] Keel**
Hey, Nii-chan!
**[10:39] Rishia**
We've returned!
**[10:42] Naofumi**
Welcome back. How'd it go?
**[10:45] Eclair**
We learned a lot from the training!
**[10:48] Eclair**
Next, we'll have them experience
actual combat alongside Rishia.
**[10:52] Eclair**
There's more training to be done, I'm sure.
**[10:54] Eclair**
What we've learned is only
the surface of Hengen Muso.
**[10:59] Eclair**
Anybody can learn that part of it.
**[11:03] Eclair**
But there are secrets in Hengen Muso that only
**[11:05] Eclair**
especially promising students can learn.
**[11:08] Naofumi**
And?
**[11:09] Naofumi**
What about your job running these lands?
**[11:11] Naofumi**
Have you just put Melty in charge of it all?
**[11:15] Naofumi**
We have a new visitor in the village.
**[11:19] Naofumi**
We don't know if they're friend or foe yet.
**[11:20] Kid**
One more time!
**[11:22] Naofumi**
It's dangerous to not have the
lord of the lands in the village!
**[11:27] Naofumi**
It's important to train, but think
about our lands and our business, too.
**[11:33] Eclair**
Y-Yeah...
**[11:35] Keel**
Hey, Nii-chan!
**[11:37] Naofumi**
What is it, Keel?
**[11:39] Keel**
Our levels went up a whole bunch!
**[11:52] Keel**
Well, Nii-chan?
**[11:55] Naofumi**
Uh, huh...
**[12:04] Naofumi**
Yes, you could definitely
upgrade your classes.
**[12:08] Keel**
Upgrade our classes!
**[12:11] Naofumi**
Hey, Filo!
**[12:12] Filo**
Yes? What is it, Master?
**[12:19] Naofumi**
We're going to do some class upgrades.
**[12:22] Filo**
But the Spear guy...
**[12:31] Motoyasu**
Filo-tan...
**[12:35] Motoyasu**
Filo-tan!
**[12:42] Naofumi**
If we see him, just kick him
hard like you usually do.
**[12:45] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[12:47] Naofumi**
Anybody like Keel who's
reached level 40, follow me.
**[12:52] Naofumi**
We're going to the capital as
soon as breakfast is finished.
**[13:01] Naofumi**
Upgrading your class expands
your potential, but also risks limiting it.
**[13:08] Naofumi**
It's possible something unexpected
may happen to you as well.
**[13:14] Naofumi**
You may not get the chance
to choose your own class.
**[13:15] Naofumi**
You may be given one where you have
the most potential for growth.
**[13:21] Naofumi**
And in the lives you have ahead of you,
**[13:25] Naofumi**
fighting ability isn't the
only thing that will matter.
**[13:28] Naofumi**
Imiya is good with her hands, right?
**[13:31] Naofumi**
And Ushiko, you're interested
in cooking, right?
**[13:34] Naofumi**
If there's something you want to do,
**[13:36] Naofumi**
choosing to specialize in that
will mean a lot for your future.
**[13:40] Naofumi**
Make a choice you won't regret.
**[13:44] Keel**
I want to get as strong as I can!
**[13:48] Keel**
If there's a possibility I can get stronger,
**[13:52] Keel**
I don't need to choose!
**[13:53] Imiya**
I want to choose strength, too!
**[13:56] Ushiko**
I want to learn to be a chef!
**[14:00] Naofumi**
All right, I want the rest of
you to split into two groups.
**[14:03] Naofumi**
Those who want to choose,
and those who don't.
**[14:06] All**
Okay!
**[14:26] Keel**
This one, and this one, and this one...
They're all amazing!
**[14:31] Naofumi**
Is your work on new shields
and armor progressing?
**[14:34] Elhart**
Not at all.
**[14:36] Elhart**
I've got a bunch of prototypes, but...
**[14:40] Naofumi**
It's so heavy!
**[14:42] Elhart**
That ore you brought me from the
Spirit Tortoise is weird stuff.
**[14:47] Elhart**
It's hard to work with.
**[14:49] Elhart**
This one's light, but it'll
break in a single strike.
**[14:53] Naofumi**
It's basically a plate.
**[14:55] Elhart**
I'll try and find the right balance, though.
**[14:58] Elhart**
So, what is it today?
**[15:00] Naofumi**
Oh, we just upgraded our classes.
**[15:03] Naofumi**
And while we're getting some new weapons,
**[15:07] Naofumi**
I brought a slave with me.
**[15:10] Elhart**
A slave?
**[15:11] Naofumi**
Keel?
**[15:12] Keel**
Right!
**[15:15] Naofumi**
He wants to be a blacksmith.
**[15:18] Keel**
Hey, come over here!
**[15:21] Naofumi**
Think you could take him
on as an apprentice?
**[15:26] Elhart**
Tollynemiya!
**[15:30] Tollynemiya**
We meet again!
**[15:32] Naofumi**
You know him?
**[15:34] Tollynemiya**
Yeah, we used to train together.
**[15:37] Tollynemiya**
I never thought I'd be learning
to be a blacksmith from you!
**[15:42] Naofumi**
I'm surprised, too.
**[15:45] Keel**
Hey, Nii-chan.
**[15:46] Keel**
Once we've got new weapons,
let's go hunting!
**[15:50] Keel**
I can't wait to fight!
**[15:52] Keel**
I feel like I can do anything right now!
**[15:59] Keel**
Hunting! Hunting! Hunting!
**[16:10] Fohl**
Damn it! One more time!
**[16:12] Elrasla**
As many times as you like.
**[16:18] Naofumi**
His movements are getting sharper.
**[16:20] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[16:27] Elrasla**
You've got a lot to learn.
**[16:29] Atla**
What technique was that?
**[16:32] Elrasla**
That was one of the secret
techniques of Hengen Muso.
**[16:35] Naofumi**
And Atla's walking around a lot more.
**[16:39] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[16:39] Atla**
Naofumi-sama!
**[16:42] Atla**
Look at this!
**[16:44] Atla**
Rishia-san, go ahead.
**[16:47] Rishia**
Okay!
**[16:51] Atla**
Go ahead.
**[16:52] Rishia**
Here I go!
**[17:02] Raphtalia**
She's growing at an incredible rate...
**[17:05] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[17:06] Naofumi**
Oh.
**[17:08] Naofumi**
Atla, do you have a moment?
**[17:11] Atla**
Yes.
**[17:12] Naofumi**
We're going hunting.
**[17:13] Atla**
Okay! I've been looking forward
to going hunting with you!
**[17:19] Fohl**
I'll go instead!
**[17:21] Fohl**
It's not safe for you to go hunting!
**[17:24] Atla**
Onii-sama, you worry too much.
**[17:38] Atla**
What's with that scream, Onii-sama?
**[17:42] Fohl**
If you laugh too much,
it'll strain your body...
**[17:46] Atla**
Hmph. Quiet.
**[17:48] Naofumi**
Come with us too, Fohl.
**[17:50] Fohl**
O-Okay!
**[17:52] Fohl**
Make sure you don't get
separated from me, okay?
**[17:55] Naofumi**
Now, Atla and Fohl can come.
**[17:58] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Rishia, Keel...
**[18:01] Naofumi**
We'll take Filo so we can move faster...
**[18:05] Naofumi**
You want to come too, Raph-chan?
**[18:11] Naofumi**
Now, what to hunt?
**[18:14] Eclair**
I have a suggestion about that.
**[18:18] Eclair**
After what happened with
the slavers the other day,
**[18:21] Eclair**
I took a look around our lands.
**[18:24] Eclair**
When the Spirit Tortoise was on the march,
**[18:27] Eclair**
it destroyed a facility that our nation
was managing as a penal colony.
**[18:30] Eclair**
Most of the prisoners there died, but...
**[18:33] Eclair**
It seems there were a number of survivors.
**[18:37] Eclair**
Many of them were part of the
Three Heroes Church,
**[18:40] Eclair**
who'd been sent there after
what happened to you.
**[18:43] Naofumi**
And those were the slavers who attacked us?
**[18:48] Eclair**
There's no way of knowing if the
two incidents are related now.
**[18:52] Eclair**
The Three Heroes Church is a concern,
**[18:54] Eclair**
but I was also concerned about criminals
who may have fled the Spirit Tortoise,
**[18:58] Eclair**
so I patrolled our lands.
**[19:01] Eclair**
I heard there's a group of bandits
that's been active lately.
**[19:07] Naofumi**
I see.
**[19:10] Naofumi**
So we can test our strength
by hunting them down, huh?
**[19:13] Naofumi**
Want to come with me?
**[19:15] Eclair**
Yeah.
**[19:17] Eclair**
Their leader is supposedly a tough
opponent who doesn't make mistakes.
**[19:22] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[19:24] Eclair**
He's extremely cautious.
**[19:27] Eclair**
He's sneaky, and he never
lets his band be seen.
**[19:29] Eclair**
They only attack people who've gotten
separated from their comrades.
**[19:34] Naofumi**
Which means he'll be tough to deal with.
**[19:39] Naofumi**
We'll split up and search for their hideout.
**[19:44] Naofumi**
Filo and Rishia.
**[19:46] Naofumi**
Eclair, Fohl, Atla...
**[19:48] Fohl**
Sure.
**[19:49] Atla**
Huh?
**[19:50] Naofumi**
Raphtalia and Keel.
**[19:52] Raphtalia**
And you?
**[19:54] Naofumi**
I'm going with Raph-chan.
**[20:09] Aultcray**
Those white tiger children...
**[20:17] Aultcray**
The younger sister was called Atla, right?
**[20:20] Aultcray**
She was the spitting image of her...
**[20:23] Mirelia**
Yes.
**[20:26] Atla**
I wanted to fight with Naofumi-sama.
**[20:30] Fohl**
Just stay behind me and watch, Atla.
**[20:33] Eclair**
Stay focused, you two.
**[20:36] Filo**
I wonder if there's any food up here.
**[20:39] Rishia**
Filo-chan, we're looking
for bandits, not food!
**[20:43] Keel**
Where are my bandits hiding?
**[20:46] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun, stop messing around and look.
**[20:51] Naofumi**
The bandits' leader attacks
people who are alone.
**[20:56] Naofumi**
If we want to take advantage of that,
**[20:58] Naofumi**
then I make the best decoy.
**[21:01] Naofumi**
A bandit ambush can't hurt me.
**[21:05] Naofumi**
Right, Raph-chan?
**[21:11] Naofumi**
What is it, Raph-chan?
**[21:32] Naofumi**
Motoyasu?!
**[21:45] Naofumi**
Ren?!

**[00:07] (Flashback) Friend**
Ren!
**[00:09] (Flashback) Friend**
Can I go to your house to play *Brave Star*?
**[00:12] (Flashback) Ren**
Again?
**[00:14] (Flashback) Friend**
Everybody else wants to come, too!
**[00:16] (Flashback) Friend**
Show them how good you are at it!
**[00:19] (Flashback) Ren**
I'm busy today.
**[00:20] (Flashback) Friend**
What? But it's much more fun with friends!
**[00:24] (Flashback) Students**
You're friends with that guy?
**[00:25] (Flashback) Students**
That's the first time I've
actually heard him speak.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Ren**
Did you get all the ones over there, too?
**[00:49] (Flashback) Party Member A**
Yeah, the two of us just barely
managed to take them out.
**[00:52] (Flashback) Party Member B**
Ren-sama, you're amazing!
**[00:54] (Flashback) Party Member B**
You took down this huge dragon by yourself!
**[00:57] (Flashback) Ren**
Its weak spot is its stomach.
**[00:59] (Flashback) Ren**
If you focus your attacks on
its stomach, it will die.
**[01:02] (Flashback) Party Member A**
Ren-sama knows everything!
**[01:04] Party Member B**
That's why he's a hero!
**[01:04] Ren**
*I knew this world well.*
**[01:08] Ren**
*It was exactly the same as the game
I used to play,* Brave Star Online*.*
**[01:16] (Flashback) Ren**
Okay, let's go!
**[01:18] (Flashback) Party Member B**
It's huge!
**[01:19] (Flashback) Party Member A**
Can we beat something that size?
**[01:21] (Flashback) Ren**
We can.
**[01:22] (Flashback) Ren**
We're more than strong enough.
**[01:26] Ren**
*"I can speedrun this world, too."*
**[01:30] Ren**
*That's what I thought.*
**[01:34] Ren**
*Until that moment...*

**[03:18] Ren**
*Why couldn't I win?*
**[03:22] Ren**
* I fought it just like the sites*
* say you're supposed to.*
**[03:25] Ren**
* And it's supposed to be*
* beatable at level 60.*
**[03:28] Ren**
*We were all above level 80!*
**[03:37] Ren**
*This is impossible.*
**[03:39] Ren**
* Level 80 should've been*
* more than high enough.*
**[03:42] Ren**
* But these guys were weak!*
* That's why we lost!*
**[03:46] Ren**
* It's not my fault! It's not*
* my fault! It's not my fault!*
**[03:51] (Flashback) Ren**
It's not my fault at all!
**[03:53] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Ren, I'm sorry about what
happened to your party.
**[03:57] (Flashback) Naofumi**
But you can still fight.
**[03:59] (Flashback) Naofumi**
There's no time left before
the Phoenix's seal breaks.
**[04:02] (Flashback) Naofumi**
This time, we heroes need
to face it together.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Please, help me.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Ren**
All right.
**[04:10] (Flashback) Myne**
You mustn't believe the Shield Demon!
**[04:13] Ren**
*At first, I didn't believe her either.*
**[04:17] Ren**
*But she was crying.*
**[04:20] Ren**
*And...*
**[04:22] Ren**
*Her slave crest...*
**[04:27] (Flashback) Myne**
I care about you more than anyone!
**[04:31] (Flashback) Myne**
The entire world may call you a criminal,
**[04:35] (Flashback) Myne**
but I believe you!
**[04:37] (Flashback) Myne**
I believe you fought for
the sake of the world!
**[04:42] Ren**
*That's right. I didn't do anything wrong!*
**[04:49] Naofumi**
* If that's how you're gonna be, then I've*
* got some shit to say to you, too.*
**[04:55] Naofumi**
*This world's not a game.*
**[04:57] Naofumi**
* You had people who believed in you,*
* and followed you wherever you went!*
**[04:59] Ren**
Shut up!
**[05:01] Ren**
* From now on, everything's*
* going to be just fine!*
**[05:04] Ren**
*I was just unlucky until now!*
**[05:06] Ren**
*It's not my fault!*
**[05:09] Ren**
* And she's a true comrade! She's worthy to*

**[05:30] Ren**
My equipment...
**[05:40] Myne**
*You're useless to me now.*
**[05:43] Myne**
*So I'm taking what useful things you have.*
**[05:47] Ren**
*Useless? Useless?*
**[05:50] Ren**
*Useless...?*
**[06:20] Man B**
Looks like we found ourselves a Sword Hero!
**[06:22] Man A**
Just like that woman said.
**[06:36] Man B**
You're way too slow!
**[06:41] Ren**
*What's going on?*
**[06:42] Ren**
*Why are they attacking me?*
**[06:52] Kid**
Mommy! A bad guy's in the house!
**[06:54] Ren**
N-No, I'm not a bad guy!
**[06:59] Woman**
The Sword Hero?
**[07:05] Ren**
That's right. I'm sorry.
**[07:07] Ren**
Some men are chasing me.
**[07:08] Ren**
It's dangerous to go outside.
**[07:10] Ren**
Stay inside so you'll be safe—
**[07:11] Woman**
Leave.
**[07:16] Woman**
You didn't protect us from
the Spirit Tortoise.
**[07:19] Woman**
Why did you even bother coming here?
**[07:23] Woman**
If you stay here, you'll bring
disaster to the village again!
**[07:40] Man B**
There he is!
**[08:07] Ren**
*I'm... I'm a hero!*
**[08:10] Bandits**
Well, if it isn't the
chosen one, the Sword Hero!
**[08:15] Bandits**
What are you doing here?
**[08:18] Bandits**
Where's the rest of your party?
**[08:19] Bandits**
Oh, wait! They're all dead!
**[08:24] Bandits**
And what happened to your clothes?
**[08:26] Bandits**
They're covered in mud!
**[08:27] Bandits**
Maybe he's not the Sword Hero.
He's the Mud Hero!
**[08:29] Ren**
*How did this happen to me?*
**[08:31] Bandits (Background)**
Hey, Mud Hero, why don't you say something?
**[08:32] Ren**
*Even these losers are making fun of me.*
**[08:34] Ren**
* A woman lied to me and took*
* everything I owned.*
**[08:38] Ren**
* I could get by fine on*
* my own if I wanted to!*
**[08:42] Ren**
*I know all about this world!*
**[08:46] Ren**
*I was chosen to be a hero!*
**[08:49] Ren**
This wasn't how it was supposed to go!
**[09:07] Ren**
I'll kill you.
**[09:16] Bandits**
Please don't hurt us!
**[09:19] Bandits**
B-Boss!
**[09:21] Bandits**
Don't let him scare you! Kill him!
**[10:09] Ren**
You...
**[10:10] Motoyasu**
Here I go!
**[10:15] Motoyasu**
Yahoo!
**[10:17] Naofumi**
Ren!
**[10:20] Motoyasu**
Father!
**[10:24] Naofumi**
Motoyasu, what are you doing?
**[10:26] Motoyasu**
I'm defeating these bandits before
they can attack your village!
**[10:32] Motoyasu**
I lured out their leader, only to find
that he was none other than Ren!
**[10:42] Naofumi**
Ren, are you...
**[10:45] Ren**
Maneater Meteor Slash!
**[10:53] Naofumi**
*I recognize this feeling...*
**[11:02] Naofumi**
The Curse series?!
**[11:07] Ren**
You think I'm a failure too, don't you?
**[11:10] Ren**
I'm going to get stronger than everybody.
**[11:14] Ren**
That's right. My ambitions have no bounds.
**[11:17] Ren**
I'm going to awaken to
even greater power here
**[11:20] Ren**
and defeat you!
**[11:27] Ren**
I'll awaken to all my abilities,
**[11:29] Ren**
defeat every enemy,
**[11:31] Ren**
get every item,
**[11:33] Ren**
master every one of my powers,
**[11:35] Ren**
and become the strongest in every world!
**[11:38] Naofumi**
*He's reduced himself to being a bandit.*
**[11:40] Naofumi**
* His greed's driving him to*
* seek not just treasure,*
**[11:43] Naofumi**
*but victory and power, too.*
**[11:46] Naofumi**
*This curse is... greed!*
**[11:51] Naofumi**
*But why does he feel so weak and pathetic?*
**[11:55] Ren**
Why are you looking at me like that?
**[11:57] Naofumi**
* Whatever the reason,*
* the Curse series has skills*
**[11:59] Naofumi**
* that make you pay a price*
* each time you use them.*
**[12:02] Naofumi**
*I need to stop him, now!*
**[12:05] Ren**
You can't defeat me!
**[12:07] Naofumi**
I don't give a shit about
what you have to say!
**[12:08] Naofumi**
Where's Witch, your comrade?
**[12:19] Motoyasu**
Father, it appears that was
the wrong thing to say!
**[12:23] Naofumi**
Ren, I'm not your enemy!
**[12:25] Ren**
Shut up!
**[12:26] Motoyasu**
Don't forget about me, Father!
**[12:29] Motoyasu**
Shall I just kill him for you?
**[12:31] Naofumi**
You leave this to me!
**[12:33] Naofumi**
Ren, calm down!
**[12:34] Naofumi**
Being the boss of a bunch of
bandits isn't going to...
**[12:36] Ren**
Let this foolish sinner pay for his
transgressions with execution by beheading!
**[12:44] Ren**
Let him despair as his head is separated
from his body before he even has time to scream.
**[12:50] Ren**
Guillotine.
**[13:02] Naofumi**
I've had enough of this shit!
**[13:09] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[13:12] Naofumi**
Stay away from him, everyone.
**[13:15] Naofumi**
I'm fine.
**[13:18] Ren**
Teams... Guilds...
**[13:20] Ren**
None of you are worth anything
unless you're with your buddies!
**[13:24] Ren**
Let this foolish sinner
**[13:26] Ren**
pay for his transgressions by being
crushed in the name of a god!
**[13:31] Ren**
Take my riches and unleash a
divine strike upon my foe!
**[13:37] Ren**
Gold Rebellion!
**[13:52] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[13:54] Ren**
* Damn it! I'm not done yet!*
* I can still get stronger!*
**[13:57] Ren**
* I'm stronger alone than any of you cowards*
* who are trying to gang up on me!*
**[14:03] Ren**
*My strongest is much greater than this!*
**[14:10] Naofumi**
S'yne, bind Ren so the curse doesn't
swallow up any more of him.
**[14:15] Naofumi**
We'll all pin him down and
take him to the village.
**[14:18] Eclair**
Wait, Iwatani-dono.
**[14:21] Eclair**
Would you let me have a duel
with the Sword Hero alone?
**[14:25] Naofumi**
Are you serious?
**[14:26] Eclair**
Yes.
**[14:28] Eclair**
I want to snap him back to his senses.
**[14:34] Naofumi**
*Eclair is far better with a sword than Ren.*
**[14:38] Naofumi**
*She can win this, I'm sure.*
**[14:40] Naofumi**
I'll cast support magic on you to make
up for the buffs he gets as hero.
**[14:44] Naofumi**
If things start to look bad, I'll intervene.
**[14:47] Naofumi**
Is that all right?
**[14:49] Eclair**
Yes.
**[14:50] Eclair**
Thank you.
**[14:51] Naofumi**
Zweit Aura!
**[14:56] Eclair**
Sword Hero, Amaki-dono!
**[15:00] Eclair**
My name is Eclair Seyaette.
**[15:03] Eclair**
If you wish to fight Iwatani-dono
or Kitamura-dono,
**[15:06] Eclair**
you must first defeat me!
**[15:08] Ren**
It doesn't matter who you are.
You can't beat me!
**[15:19] Keel**
Sure, she's strong, but he's a hero!
**[15:23] Keel**
Can she really win?
**[15:24] Atla**
It'll be fine.
**[15:26] Atla**
Leave it to Eclair-san.
**[15:32] Raphtalia**
I think I understand how she feels, maybe.
**[15:37] Raphtalia**
I think I can see the pain
in that man's sword.
**[15:41] Eclair**
Sword Hero, what is it you want?
**[15:45] Eclair**
Why do you want to get stronger?
**[15:48] Ren**
I won't accept anything less
than being the strongest!
**[15:52] Ren**
I'll be the strongest in all worlds!
All times! All dimensions!
**[15:57] Ren**
That's what I—
**[15:57] Eclair**
And then what?
**[16:03] Eclair**
Once you're the strongest,
what do you want then?
**[16:09] Ren**
I'm going to be the strongest...
**[16:12] Ren**
A-And save...
**[16:17] Ren**
Save the world!
**[16:19] Ren**
That's right! I'm the chosen hero!
**[16:22] Ren**
The Sword Hero that saves the world!
**[16:25] Ren**
Now die!
**[16:29] Eclair**
That was a task someone
else thrust upon you!
**[16:32] Eclair**
I'm asking what you yourself want!
**[16:40] Eclair**
Decide where you're aiming,
**[16:42] Eclair**
and commit to an attack once you've made it.
**[16:49] Eclair**
You're not deciding on anything right now.
**[16:53] Eclair**
There's no way you can defeat me
with your heart in that state!
**[16:57] Ren**
Shut up! Shut up!
**[17:09] Ren**
I'm the strongest...
**[17:28] Ren**
To gain that strength...
**[17:31] Ren**
Gain everything...
**[17:42] Ren**
Devour... it...
**[17:45] Naofumi**
Devour it?
**[17:47] Naofumi**
*My curse is wrath.*
**[17:48] Naofumi**
*So Ren's are greed... and gluttony?*
**[17:52] Naofumi**
*It's like the seven deadly sins!*
**[17:56] Eclair**
You're suffering, aren't you?
**[18:05] Eclair**
I'll put an end to that now.
**[18:13] Eclair**
Hengen Muso Swordcraft:
Multistrike Crumble Attack!
**[18:42] Man B**
Found you!
**[18:43] Ren**
I've seen them before...
**[18:45] Naofumi**
How are you alive?
**[18:47] Man B**
And the Shield Hero's here, too!
**[18:49] Man B**
You're gonna regret killing us before!
**[18:51] Naofumi**
*Why now, of all times?*
**[18:54] Naofumi**
*They'll crush us all like this!*
**[18:56] Man A**
Die, Cardinal Heroes!
**[19:05] Motoyasu**
Burst Lance!
**[19:11] Man B**
Y-You're kidding me!
**[19:15] Naofumi**
Motoyasu...
**[19:17] Motoyasu**
You're next.
**[19:20] Naofumi**
He's fast!
**[19:37] Naofumi**
I see.
**[19:38] Naofumi**
So those are their souls.
**[19:41] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[19:42] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[19:43] Raphtalia**
Spirit Blade: Soul Slice!
**[19:45] S'yne**
I can't believe you can defeat them.
**[19:50] Naofumi**
Still...
**[19:54] Motoyasu**
All of your enemies must die, Father!
**[19:57] Naofumi**
Motoyasu, where is your
strength coming from?
**[20:00] Motoyasu**
Your word is law, Father!
**[20:04] Naofumi**
So you tried the way of making
yourself stronger I told you about?
**[20:10] Ren**
He's strong...
**[20:23] Eclair**
Why don't we get stronger together?
**[20:28] Eclair**
I realized why you were suffering.
**[20:31] Eclair**
You didn't want to waste
away in a place like this.
**[20:35] Eclair**
But you didn't know what to do.
**[20:39] Eclair**
Even if you did change and get stronger,
**[20:43] Eclair**
the things you've lost wouldn't come back.
**[20:45] Eclair**
And that's why you should
live and keep fighting,
**[20:49] Eclair**
to make up for the things you lost.
**[20:54] Eclair**
Right now, you're weak.
**[20:58] Eclair**
But I'm sure there must be
**[21:02] Eclair**
some sliver of strength within you.
**[21:10] Eclair**
Let's make that sliver into
something much bigger together!
**[21:15] Ren**
*I always thought I'd be better off on my own.*
**[21:27] Eclair**
You'll find the reason you want
to get stronger eventually.
**[21:32] Eclair**
I was just thinking I'd
like a training partner.
**[21:39] Filo**
Are you okay, Master?
**[21:41] Motoyasu**
Filo-tan!
**[21:47] Atla**
That was an incredible scream.
**[21:49] Fohl**
The Spear Hero's a weird guy, isn't he?

* There are just two months left*
* until the Phoenix revives.*
**[00:07] Naofumi**
* To defeat it, the heroes need to learn to*
* work together and get stronger fast.*
**[00:14] Naofumi**
* We also need to prepare our*
* defenses to protect the village.*
**[00:39] Naofumi**
* I hope you guys get good enough*
* for a real fight soon.*
**[00:52] Naofumi**
That should do it.
**[00:56] S'yne**
It looks de****ous.
**[00:57] Raphtalia**
It'll be ready soon. Just wait a bit, okay?
**[01:01] Keel**
It smells so good! I'm hungry!
**[01:05] Keel**
Hurry up and feed us!
**[01:08] Naofumi**
Don't tell me you're...
**[01:10] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun?
**[01:12] Keel**
Amazing, huh? Sadeena-neechan
taught me this trick!
**[01:16] Sadeena**
Yeah, Keel-chan had the talent
to transform into a therianthrope,
**[01:20] Sadeena**
so I taught him how to do it.
**[01:21] Naofumi**
How does that affect his abilities?
**[01:23] Sadeena**
It depends on the race,
but usually they get stronger.
**[01:29] Sadeena**
By the way, Fohl-chan has
the same knack for it.
**[01:34] Rishia**
Keel-kun is so cute now!
**[01:37] Keel**
Stop! That tickles!
**[01:39] Rishia**
You're so cute!
**[01:40] Keel**
Stop it!
**[01:42] Naofumi**
Okay, time to eat!
**[01:51] Naofumi**
Ren, can you come here?
**[01:54] Ren**
What do you want?
**[01:57] Ren**
What is it?
**[01:59] Naofumi**
Here.
**[02:00] Naofumi**
Want to give it a try?
**[02:05] Eclair**
Amaki-dono, the Sword Hero, is going
to serve us all a delicious breakfast.
**[02:10] Eclair**
Gather round, everyone!
**[02:11] Kids**
Sword Hero, hurry up and give us some!
**[02:14] Ren**
Wait. I'm getting it ready right now.
**[02:19] Naofumi**
Wasn't her name...
**[02:22] Naofumi**
Wyndia?

**[04:01] Filo**
Master!
**[04:03] Filo**
Help me!
**[04:08] Rat**
Stop running away!
**[04:11] Filo**
No!
**[04:17] Filo**
Master!
**[04:25] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[04:27] Filo**
Master!
**[04:33] Naofumi**
Who is that?
**[04:35] Filo**
She just showed up and grabbed onto my back.
**[04:39] Rat**
So you're the Shield Hero, right?
**[04:41] Naofumi**
Yes.
**[04:47] Rat**
I'm Ratotille Anthreya.
**[04:50] Rat**
My friends call me Rat.
**[04:52] Rat**
Nice to meet you.
**[04:55] Rat**
You're right to be cautious, of course.
**[05:00] Rat**
First, would you take a look at this?
**[05:05] Naofumi**
From the queen?
**[05:08] Raphtalia**
What does it say?
**[05:11] Naofumi**
It says that she's an alchemist who was
exiled from Faubrey for causing trouble,
**[05:15] Naofumi**
but she's talented enough that
if I can put her to use properly,
**[05:19] Naofumi**
she'll help my lands prosper.
**[05:21] Rat**
There's one part of that
I'd like to correct.
**[05:24] Rat**
I was exiled because of idiots who
couldn't understand my research.
**[05:29] Naofumi**
And what's your specialty?
**[05:31] Rat**
Monsters.
**[05:33] Rat**
My job is to change them
and make them stronger.
**[05:37] Rat**
But they started spreading lies about
how I was a devil and destroyed my lab,
**[05:43] Rat**
then killed my research subjects!
**[05:45] Rat**
It was awful!
**[05:47] Rat**
But...
**[05:50] Rat**
maybe it was all for the best.
**[05:52] Rat**
Thanks to that, I encountered a mutant
filolial which can understand human speech!
**[06:00] Filo**
Help me, Mel-chan!
**[06:03] Rat**
And there goes my test subject!
**[06:05] Naofumi**
Ratotille, was it?
**[06:07] Rat**
Just call me Rat.
**[06:09] Naofumi**
Just what are you after?
**[06:11] Rat**
One answer to that would be the filolial.
**[06:16] Raphtalia**
You mean Filo?
**[06:17] Rat**
The "queen" in the legends is one example,
**[06:20] Rat**
but normal filolials are also a great help
**[06:23] Rat**
to humanity by taking
us from place to place.
**[06:26] Rat**
That's the kind of monster I want to make.
**[06:29] Rat**
That's a monster stable over there, right?
**[06:33] Rat**
I'd love to see it.
**[06:36] Rat**
I'm quite curious about what kind of
monsters a hero's managed to raise.
**[06:41] Raphtalia**
What should we do?
**[06:43] Naofumi**
Let's give her a chance, I guess.
**[06:55] Rat**
I've never seen a caterpilland
so big at this level.
**[07:00] Naofumi**
One, two... three?
**[07:04] Raphtalia**
There's one more than there was before.
**[07:06] Naofumi**
Where did it come from?
**[07:08] Wyndia**
No!
**[07:10] Wyndia**
You can't be here!
**[07:13] Wyndia**
There are only two! There isn't a third one!
**[07:15] Naofumi**
What is she doing?
**[07:17] Raphtalia**
I don't know.
**[07:22] Raphtalia**
What is this?
**[07:26] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, look!
**[07:34] Kids**
We'll take good care of them!
**[07:36] Kids**
Please, don't throw them away!
**[07:37] Naofumi**
Wait, wait.
**[07:39] Naofumi**
We can't possibly raise that many.
**[07:42] Rat**
I can.
**[07:45] Naofumi**
I guess we do need a specialist who
can make our monsters stronger.
**[07:52] Naofumi**
I don't like being lied to.
**[07:55] Naofumi**
You're going to have to accept
a slave crest from me.
**[07:57] Naofumi**
Is that all right?
**[07:59] Rat**
Yes. I'll do anything for
the sake of my research.
**[08:02] Naofumi**
All right.
**[08:05] Rat**
Then it's settled. Thanks, Count.
**[08:08] Wyndia**
Um, Shield Hero...
**[08:11] Wyndia**
There's something else
that Siltvelt sent us.
**[08:16] Raphtalia**
Siltvelt?
**[08:19] Naofumi**
What's this big egg?
**[08:22] Rat**
That's a dragon egg.
**[08:23] Wyndia**
A dragon?!
**[08:24] Wyndia**
That's a dragon egg?
**[08:27] Naofumi**
Filo's not gonna like that.
**[08:29] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[08:31] Rat**
More powerful dragons will breed
with creatures from any species,
**[08:34] Rat**
which can cause problems.
**[08:36] Rat**
They can easily destroy an ecosystem.
**[08:38] Wyndia**
That's not true!
**[08:40] Wyndia**
Dragons are strong and awesome!
**[08:42] Rat**
I'm talking about ecosystems here!
**[08:46] Rat**
I can make something even more
powerful than a dragon, too.
**[08:50] Wyndia**
Well, if I raised the dragon,
it would get even stronger!
**[08:54] Naofumi**
I guess we can try raising it.
**[08:57] Naofumi**
Rat, can you handle it?
**[08:59] Rat**
Let's start with a monster seal.
**[09:02] Rat**
And there's something else I'd
like your help with, Count.
**[09:11] Elhart**
What the hell are you doing?
**[09:14] Raphtalia**
Having Naofumi-sama keep the egg warm
is good for its stats, supposedly.
**[09:20] Naofumi**
Why me?
**[09:23] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Ren, can you look after this thing for me?
**[09:29] (Flashback) Ren**
I'm sorry, but it looks like the Curse
series is causing anything I touch to degrade.
**[09:36] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Absolutely not!
**[09:41] (Flashback) Wyndia**
I refuse to let the Sword Hero touch it!
**[09:47] Elhart**
Guess you're stuck, then.
**[09:49] Naofumi**
Where's Raph-chan?
**[09:51] Raphtalia**
What does Raph-chan have to do with this?
**[09:56] Elhart**
This is the Siderite Katana you asked for.
***SIGN*** Siderite Katana Quality: High
**[10:05] Elhart**
It's been a long time
since I've made a katana.
**[10:07] Elhart**
I guess I'm still not as good as my teacher.
**[10:10] Raphtalia**
Let me hold this for a moment, sir.
**[10:13] Elhart**
Sure.
**[10:16] Raphtalia**
I'm done.
**[10:17] Raphtalia**
Its skill's name is Stardust Blade.
**[10:21] Naofumi**
It might be a skill like Ren's Meteor Slash.
**[10:24] Naofumi**
We can try it out later.
**[10:25] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[10:26] Raphtalia**
Thank you.
**[10:29] Elhart**
Let me know if you ever need anything else.
**[10:32] Naofumi**
Yeah. We'll be back.
**[10:34] Elhart**
Oh, as for that equipment you gave me,
**[10:37] Elhart**
I'll let you know when it's repaired.
**[10:43] Elhart**
They're gone, huh?
**[10:56] Fohl**
Can't sleep?
**[10:58] Atla**
Yeah.
**[11:02] Fohl**
Get into bed.
**[11:05] Atla**
Yeah.
**[11:08] Atla**
I want you to sing that song for me.
**[11:12] Fohl**
The lullaby Mom would sing?
**[11:16] Atla**
Yes.
**[11:20] Fohl**
*When one person loves another,*
**[11:28] Fohl**
*what do they lose in return?*
**[11:36] Fohl**
*When time seeks what was lost in time...*
**[11:52] Fohl**
*The song it knew...*
**[11:58] Fohl**
Kind and warm, like the sun...
**[12:09] Atla**
Goodnight, Onii-sama.
**[12:13] Atla**
Heh.
**[12:26] Naofumi**
Again?
**[12:33] Atla**
Good morning, Naofumi-sama.
**[12:37] Naofumi**
How many times has this happened?
**[12:40] Atla**
This is the third time I've
shared a bed with you.
**[12:45] Naofumi**
Your slave crest isn't
inflicting pain on you?
**[12:48] Atla**
My heart feels warmth
more than the pain.
**[12:51] Naofumi**
What the hell is Fohl doing?
**[12:53] Atla**
He's sound asleep in his room.
**[12:59] Raphtalia**
Good morning, Naofumi-sama.
**[13:02] Raphtalia**
Again, Atla-san?
**[13:04] Atla**
Good morning.
**[13:06] Raphtalia**
You are not welcome in this room.
**[13:08] Raphtalia**
How many times do you have to be told that?
**[13:10] Atla**
I am Naofumi-sama's shield.
**[13:13] Atla**
I need to be by his side at all times.
**[13:16] Raphtalia**
If you're his shield, then you should
respect your master's sleep.
**[13:20] Raphtalia**
You mustn't interrupt him.
**[13:21] Atla**
It's up to Naofumi-sama to
decide if I'm interrupting.
**[13:24] Fohl**
Atla!
**[13:26] Fohl**
I told you so many times
not to come here! So why—
**[13:29] Atla**
Be quiet!
**[13:34] Raphtalia**
Anyway, it's time for you to go!
**[13:38] Atla**
No!
**[13:41] Atla**
I want to be with Naofumi-sama!
**[13:51] Naofumi**
*That was a hell of a way to start the day.*
**[14:08] Naofumi**
What?
**[14:10] Melty**
You're looking great with that egg, Naofumi!
**[14:12] Melty**
You're caring and a great cook.
**[14:16] Melty**
You'd make a good dad, actually!
**[14:18] Naofumi**
You're interrupting my work. Get lost.
**[14:21] Melty**
Why? I've got a busy schedule,
and I still made time to come see you!
**[14:28] Doll**
Hello, Iwatani-san.
**[14:31] Keel**
That stuffed animal is me!
**[14:33] Melty**
It's so cute!
**[14:35] Doll**
Yes, I based it off how Keel-san
looks when he transforms.
**[14:39] Naofumi**
You're a lot easier to understand now.
**[14:42] S'yne**
I rep****d...
**[14:44] Doll**
I repaired an accessory that one
of the enemies we defeated had.
**[14:48] Doll**
It has a translation ability I can use.
**[14:51] Naofumi**
You can't use it yourself?
**[14:55] Doll**
It reacts poorly with my
vassal weapon. So no.
**[14:59] Naofumi**
I see.
**[15:01] Naofumi**
So what is it today?
**[15:05] Naofumi**
Let's eat first, I guess.
**[15:16] Eclair**
Melromarc's language, huh?
**[15:19] Eclair**
Let me see...
**[15:22] Eclair**
This spelling is actually...
**[15:32] Eclair**
What's wrong?
**[15:33] Ren**
Nothing.
**[15:36] Raphtalia**
Thanks for all the work
you did this morning.
**[15:39] Naofumi**
We're getting more and more therianthropes.
**[15:41] Raphtalia**
We'll have to come up with
something for them, too.
**[15:44] Naofumi**
A new pot, maybe.
**[15:47] Raphtalia**
I saw something nice at a
department store in Zeltoble...
**[15:52] Raphtalia**
When did that—
**[16:00] Naofumi**
Rat!
**[16:02] Naofumi**
It's done already?
**[16:04] Rat**
I've been waiting for you, Count!
**[16:07] Rat**
It's called a camping plant!
**[16:11] Rat**
Just plant the seed and before long,
you'll have a new place to live!
**[16:15] Rat**
It stores up sunlight during the day,
and when night comes, its flowers bloom.
**[16:19] Naofumi**
Revolutionary.
**[16:22] Naofumi**
What?
**[16:23] Raphtalia**
Nothing...
**[16:25] Raphtalia**
It just feels like we're getting further
and further away from the village I know.
**[16:30] Rat**
Don't worry. I've got weed
killer if we need it.
**[16:34] Raphtalia**
If it makes life easier for people in
the village, then it's not a problem at all.
**[16:41] Raphtalia**
It cracked!
**[16:51] Wyndia**
It hasn't hatched yet, right?
**[16:52] Naofumi**
What do dragons eat?
**[16:55] Rat**
Anything, really.
**[16:57] Rat**
They're omnivores.
**[17:06] Naofumi**
This isn't quite what I'd had in mind.
**[17:09] Raphtalia**
It's very cute.
**[17:11] Raphtalia**
It reminds me of when Filo was a chick.
**[17:15] Rat**
Yeah, it looks good.
**[17:18] Rat**
It seems to be male.
**[17:21] Naofumi**
What kind is it?
**[17:22] Rat**
A wyr, I think.
**[17:24] Rat**
They're one of the most
loyal types of dragons.
**[17:32] Wyndia**
Your name is... Gaelion.
**[17:37] Wyndia**
Yeah, he's Gaelion!
**[17:41] Wyndia**
You liked that, didn't you?
**[17:43] Rat**
You sure you don't want
to name him yourself?
**[17:46] Naofumi**
He seems to like it, so it's fine with me.
**[17:50] Naofumi**
Wyndia, you're the one who named him,
**[17:53] Naofumi**
so it's up to you to take care of him.
**[17:55] Wyndia**
Okay!
**[19:19] Raphtalia**
What's going on, Naofumi-sama?
**[19:24] Naofumi**
All right, who triggered the trap?
**[19:30] Naofumi**
It was you?
**[19:32] Raphtalia**
Gaelion?
**[19:35] Naofumi**
Where's Wyndia?
**[19:39] Naofumi**
Somebody'd been knocking on my door and
then running away for the past few days.
**[19:45] Naofumi**
Turns out it was him.
**[19:47] Wyndia**
Why?
**[19:51] Wyndia**
He says he wanted to play
with the Shield Hero.
**[19:55] Naofumi**
You were playing a prank 'cause
I wouldn't play with you?
**[20:00] Raphtalia**
This might be a good opportunity, though.
**[20:04] Raphtalia**
It would help with Atla-san.
**[20:06] Raphtalia**
We can have him drive her off before
she gets into bed with you.
**[20:18] Naofumi**
So he's a guard dog, huh?
**[20:26] Sadeena**
What is that?
**[20:29] Naofumi**
That's the Emperor Dragon's Core
that I had them turn into a jewel
**[20:33] Naofumi**
for me in Kizuna's world.
**[20:36] Sadeena**
No! Get that way from Gaelion-chan!
**[20:42] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[20:43] Naofumi**
Spit it out already!
**[20:46] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, water!
**[20:48] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[20:50] Naofumi**
Gaelion, are you okay?
**[20:52] Sadeena**
Get away!
**[20:57] Wyndia**
What? What's going on?
**[21:03] Wyndia**
Gaelion?
**[21:14] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[21:16] Rat**
Count, we should deal with this
before he harms the village.
**[21:19] Naofumi**
How do we save him?
**[21:22] Wyndia**
Gaelion!
**[21:55] Wyndia**
Gaelion...

**[00:03] Sadeena**
There's a good chance the Emperor Dragon
has taken over Gaelion-chan's mind.
**[00:08] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[00:10] Rat**
Dragons have an organ called a
core that contains their mind.
**[00:14] Rat**
You can use it to improve your own
abilities or inherit their memories.
**[00:22] Naofumi**
Which means that the dragon zombie's mind,
**[00:24] Naofumi**
which was absorbed by the
Emperor Dragon's Core,
**[00:27] Naofumi**
has caused Gaelion to lose control?
**[00:30] Sadeena**
Yes.
**[00:30] Wyndia**
Just like I thought...
**[00:34] Naofumi**
Ake, the old lady and Rishia are out
right now. Bring them back, quick!
**[00:39] Ake Squadman**
Okay!
**[00:40] Naofumi**
Rat, I want you to protect
the village in our absence.
**[00:44] Naofumi**
I'll send S'yne if you need her.
**[00:46] Naofumi**
Keep an eye on the monsters
until we get back.
**[00:48] Rat**
Right. Leave it to me.
**[00:50] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Ren, Sadeena, and myself
will head after Gaelion.
**[00:55] Eclair**
Iwatani-dono!
**[00:57] Eclair**
I need you to come with me now.
**[00:59] Eclair**
Filo-dono suddenly collapsed in pain.
**[01:01] Naofumi**
Filo?!
**[01:03] Eclair**
The healers are trying to do what
they can, but it's not helping.
**[01:06] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[01:07] Naofumi**
Raphtalia and I will go check on Filo.
**[01:10] Naofumi**
The rest of you, get ready
to go while we're gone.
**[01:13] Ren**
Understood.
**[01:14] Atla**
I'll go with you.
**[01:16] Atla**
I may be able to help somehow.
**[01:19] Fohl**
Me, too!
**[01:20] Wyndia**
And me, too! I'm worried about Filo-chan!
**[01:35] Naofumi**
Let's get going.

Where's Filo?
**[03:13] Melty**
This way! Hurry!
**[03:17] Wyndia & Raphtalia**
Filo-chan!
**[03:17] Wyndia & Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[03:23] Filo**
Master...
**[03:26] Raphtalia**
It's okay.
**[03:27] Raphtalia**
I'll patch you up right away.
**[03:29] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, this is...
**[03:32] Naofumi**
It's worse than what the
Curse series did to her.
**[03:40] Naofumi**
Her levels are going down?
**[03:41] Naofumi**
What's going on?
**[03:43] Raphtalia**
Does it have something to do
with what happened to Gaelion?
**[03:50] Atla**
I can feel a terrible power
flowing out from within her.
**[03:54] Naofumi**
Could it be that her experience points
are being transferred to Gaelion?
**[04:00] Melty**
Filo-chan!
**[04:03] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, what do we do?
**[04:09] Fohl**
Atla?
**[04:11] Atla**
I'll try to dampen the flow of power.
**[04:21] Filo**
Huh?
**[04:22] Filo**
I feel a little better.
**[04:25] Melty**
Filo-chan!
**[04:27] Wyndia**
I'm so glad.
**[04:31] Atla**
This will buy you a little time, I think.
**[04:34] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[04:36] Naofumi**
* Even at this slower speed,*
* she won't last two days.*
**[04:39] Naofumi**
*She'll go down to level one.*
**[04:40] Naofumi**
*No, we'll be lucky if it stops at level one.*
**[04:44] Naofumi**
*She might not survive.*
**[04:51] Naofumi**
I want you to stay here
and take care of Filo.
**[04:55] Naofumi**
I'm going to break the curse
that was laid on her.
**[04:58] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raphtalia.
**[05:00] Filo**
No, don't leave me!
**[05:04] Naofumi**
You need to stay here and rest.
**[05:06] Filo**
I'm the only one who can pull your carriage!
**[05:09] Naofumi**
No. You're not in any shape to—
**[05:11] Melty**
If Filo-chan's going, so am I!
**[05:14] Naofumi**
You're a princess!
**[05:15] Melty**
I may be a princess, but more
importantly, I'm her friend!
**[05:23] Naofumi**
I'm using a portal to send you back
to town at the first sign of trouble.
**[05:28] Filo**
I feel fine!
**[05:31] Naofumi**
Atla, can you keep slowing down the curse?
**[05:34] Atla**
Yes.
**[05:35] Atla**
I'll do my best.
**[05:36] Fohl**
If Atla's going, so am I.
**[05:38] Wyndia**
So am I! No matter what!
**[05:40] Naofumi**
Fine, fine.
**[05:42] Naofumi**
Everybody, get ready.
**[05:45] Naofumi**
* After that, Filo raced to the village*
* to the east as fast as she could.*
**[05:59] Naofumi**
You did great.
**[06:01] Filo**
Master...
**[06:03] Filo**
I'll... fight to...
**[06:07] Villagers**
It's Our Savior!
**[06:07] Villagers**
The Shield Hero!
**[06:09] Naofumi**
Make sure Filo gets some rest.
**[06:11] Atla & Melty**
Okay.
**[06:17] Atla**
She's exhausted.
**[06:19] Atla**
Melty-san, please help too.
**[06:21] Melty**
All right!
**[06:23] Melty**
Fast Aqua Heal!
**[06:25] Fohl**
I-I'll... I'll go get something to eat!
**[06:32] Mayor**
Oh, Shield Hero!
**[06:35] Mayor**
Yet another dragon has come to our village.
**[06:38] Naofumi**
Where did it go?
**[06:39] Villager**
The Dragon's Den, we think.
**[06:42] Naofumi**
The Dragon's Den?
**[06:43] Mayor**
There's a huge cave beyond the mountain,
where that horrible dragon lived.
**[06:50] Mayor**
We won't survive another plague.
**[06:54] Mayor**
Please, save our village!
**[06:58] Sadeena**
We don't have time to waste here.
**[07:01] Sadeena**
Let's hurry onward.
**[07:02] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[07:24] Sadeena**
If we want to put an end to this,
**[07:26] Sadeena**
we'll need to weaken Gaelion-chan,
**[07:28] Sadeena**
and then make him spit up the
Emperor Dragon's Core, right?
**[07:31] Naofumi**
And if it's taken over his whole body?
**[07:36] Sadeena**
Then we'll have a tough call to make.
**[07:40] Naofumi**
I see.
**[07:57] Wyndia**
Dark Fire Palette!
**[08:09] Naofumi**
You can use magic?
**[08:12] Wyndia**
I can fight if I have to, you know.
**[08:15] Sadeena**
Oh, you didn't know?
**[08:17] Sadeena**
Wyndia-chan can use the
Way of the Dragon Vein.
**[08:20] Naofumi**
What kind of magic is that?
**[08:22] Sadeena**
She can take power from the Dragon
Veins that run beneath the earth
**[08:24] Sadeena**
to power her magic.
**[08:26] Sadeena**
Once she masters it, she'll be able to
use Choral Magic and Jamming Magic.
**[08:31] Raphtalia**
Choral Magic, too?
**[08:34] Raphtalia**
Wyndia-san, that's amazing!
**[08:37] Wyndia**
Dad taught me!
**[08:51] Melty**
You okay?
**[08:52] Atla**
How do you feel?
**[08:54] Fohl**
I got a lot of fish for you, Filo-chan!
**[09:00] Filo**
Thank you...
**[09:02] Filo**
I'm...
**[09:04] Melty**
Filo-chan!
**[09:14] Atla**
Filo-san, hang in there!
**[09:17] Melty**
Filo-chan!
**[09:20] Melty**
Filo-chan!
**[09:37] Ren**
* This is where it became*
* a dragon zombie, huh?*
**[09:41] Ren**
* When I think about the people*
* who suffered because of that,*
**[09:44] Ren**
*I feel like I can never atone.*
**[09:54] Naofumi**
If a hero wants to save the world,
**[09:56] Naofumi**
he has to get stronger, even if
it means sacrificing something.
**[10:01] Naofumi**
Stand strong.
**[10:15] Naofumi**
This is the spot, I think.
**[10:18] Naofumi**
Look...
**[10:22] Naofumi**
That's the Dragon's Den.
**[10:36] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, can you light up the area?
**[10:38] Raphtalia**
All right.
**[10:40] Raphtalia**
Drifa Light!
**[10:49] Naofumi**
How deep do these caves go?
**[10:51] Raphtalia**
Is Gaelion really down here?
**[11:03] Raphtalia**
Ren-san and Wyndia!
**[11:11] Naofumi**
Ren! Wyndia!
**[11:17] Ren**
We're fine.
**[11:21] Ren**
You okay?
**[11:23] Wyndia**
Y-Yeah...
**[11:25] Ren**
I'm glad.
**[11:26] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[11:32] Eclair**
Will you wait outside?
**[11:34] Wyndia**
No, I'm going with you.
**[11:38] Naofumi**
All right.
**[11:48] Naofumi**
What is this place?
**[11:51] Raphtalia**
The light can't reach all
the way to the back.
**[11:53] Wyndia**
Give me a second.
**[11:58] Naofumi**
Wyndia, what are you doing?
**[12:03] Wyndia**
Dragon Vein, grant me light.
**[12:18] Raphtalia**
It's beautiful...
**[12:20] Naofumi**
Have you been here before?
**[12:23] Wyndia**
Yeah, a long time ago.
**[12:29] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[12:39] Naofumi**
Gaelion!
**[12:40] Melty**
Stop, please!
**[12:52] Melty**
Filo-chan!
**[12:54] Naofumi**
What happened?
**[12:55] Melty**
Filo-chan just went crazy!
**[12:58] Melty**
She won't listen to anything we say!
**[13:01] Naofumi**
What's gotten into her?
**[13:09] Sadeena**
No!
**[13:13] Melty**
No!
**[13:17] Melty**
Filo-chan!
**[13:20] Naofumi**
She's still there!
**[13:21] Naofumi**
She's still alive!
**[13:23] Nadeena**
If we can get the core back, she'll be fine!
**[13:26] Naofumi**
Don't let him absorb her!
**[13:27] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[13:32] Ren**
Meteor Slash!
**[13:35] Sadeena**
Zweit Thunderbolt!
**[14:01] Fohl**
It's huge...
**[14:06] Raphtalia**
I'll stop it!
**[14:07] Raphtalia**
Stardust Blade!
**[14:08] Ren**
Meteor Slash!
**[14:13] Ren**
It's tough!
**[14:16] Sadeena**
Lightning Strike Harpoon!
**[14:23] Sadeena**
It is tough.
**[14:24] Sadeena**
My strongest attack isn't working on it.
**[14:26] Naofumi**
Then I'll use magic to make you stronger...
**[14:28] Naofumi**
All Zweit Aura!
**[14:36] Raphtalia**
Light Stardust Blade!
**[14:42] Fohl**
It's working!
**[14:45] Eclair**

**[14:57] Melty**
Give back Filo-chan!
**[14:59] Melty**
Drifa Aqua Slash!
**[15:11] Fohl**
We got it!
**[15:19] Sadeena**
It's working!
**[15:20] Sadeena**
Let's finish this!
**[15:21] Wyndia**
Wait!
**[15:22] Wyndia**
Everyone, wait!
**[15:24] Wyndia**
Stop it...
**[15:26] Wyndia**
Stop it, Dad!
**[15:37] Wyndia**
Dad...
**[15:38] Wyndia**
Don't fight anymore.
**[15:42] Raphtalia**
What do you mean?
**[15:45] Wyndia**
My dad was the dragon
that lived in this area.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Wyndia**
No! Let me go!
**[16:08] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Dad!
**[16:11] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Dad!
**[16:17] Ren**
No... Then I was the one who...
**[16:21] Naofumi**
So that's it.
**[16:22] Naofumi**
He became a dragon zombie
to try and protect her.
**[16:33] Wyndia**
Ever since my dad died, I hated them.
**[16:38] Wyndia**
I told myself I could never forgive the
heroes for destroying our happiness.
**[16:43] Wyndia**
But the Shield Hero was kind to me!
**[16:47] Wyndia**
He's not like the people of
this country, who mistreat demi-humans!
**[16:51] Wyndia**
Or the villagers who stole your treasure
and turned your body into a spectacle!
**[16:57] Wyndia**
Please, give him back his body.
**[17:01] Wyndia**
He's got the same name as you.
**[17:04] Wyndia**
And he's still alive.
**[17:09] Wyndia**
You can't stay here anymore!
**[17:33] Naofumi**
Ren!
**[17:34] Ren**
Are you hurt?
**[17:36] Wyndia**
No...
**[17:37] Eclair**
Are you okay?
**[17:39] Wyndia**
I'm fine.
**[17:40] Wyndia**
But...
**[17:41] Naofumi**
Drifa Heal!
**[17:44] Naofumi**
Ren, can you still fight?
**[17:46] Ren**
Yeah, just barely.
**[17:53] Wyndia**
Who are you? You're not my dad!
**[18:01] Naofumi**
Wyndia, get back!
**[18:11] Dragon**
I am the Emperor Dragon,
ruler of all monsters!
**[18:20] Naofumi**
The Emperor Dragon?
**[18:22] Naofumi**
So that's it...
**[18:23] Naofumi**
Combining the cores of the
zombie dragon from this world
**[18:27] Naofumi**
and the Emperor Dragon from Kizuna's
caused their souls to mix!
**[18:31] Dragon**
My desire is to seize control of
this world from weak humans!
**[18:38] Dragon**
And to kill the Hunting Hero and her comrades,
who crushed my ambitions before!
**[18:48] Atla**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:50] Atla**
An incredible amount of power is flowing
from your shield into the Emperor Dragon.
**[18:55] Naofumi**
It's fine.
**[18:56] Naofumi**
Get back.
**[18:58] Atla**
But...
**[19:02] Atla**
All right.
**[19:03] Melty**
What did you do with Filo-chan?
**[19:05] Melty**
Give her back, now!
**[19:07] Dragon**
You mean the monster they call
a filolial in this world?
**[19:18] Melty**
Filo-chan!
**[19:19] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[19:23] Dragon**
I'm sure she's happy to
serve as part of my flesh!
**[19:32] Naofumi**
Zweit Aura!
**[19:34] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[19:36] Raphtalia**
On it!
**[19:38] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[19:40] Raphtalia**
Light Stardust Blade!
**[20:00] Melty**
Drifa Aqua Slash!
**[20:06] Sadeena**
This isn't working.
**[20:07] Sadeena**
My attacks aren't affecting him!
**[20:09] Melty**
He's nullifying my magic, too!
**[20:12] Naofumi**
There's one way.
**[20:14] Naofumi**
I think he's getting defense from my shield.
**[20:19] Naofumi**
So if I deliberately fail a power-up attempt
on the Wrath Shield, it should weaken him.
**[20:26] Sadeena**
But won't that weaken you, too?
**[20:30] Naofumi**
There's no time! Filo won't last...
**[20:33] Dragon**
You think I'll let you do that?

It's not something I'm good at.
**[02:53] Sadeena**
I'm sorry. Did that hurt?
**[02:55] Atla**
No, I'm fine.
**[02:57] Fohl**
Ow!
**[02:58] Melty**
Stop whining. It's not that bad.
**[03:05] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[03:07] Raphtalia**
How's Filo?
**[03:08] Naofumi**
She's alive, but her levels
are going down fast.
**[03:12] Raphtalia**
Which means Gaelion—no,
the Emperor Dragon—is also...
**[03:16] Naofumi**
Yup.
**[03:18] Naofumi**
By tomorrow morning, he'll have
drained away every last level.
**[03:22] Naofumi**
* The most effective attack we've*
* got right now is Atla's attack,*
**[03:25] Naofumi**
* which gets stronger when the*
* enemy has more defense, but...*
**[03:34] Wyndia**
How're your injuries?
**[03:36] Atla**
A lot better.
**[03:38] Wyndia**
I'm glad.
**[03:40] Atla**
There's something I want
to ask you, Wyndia-san.
**[03:43] Wyndia**
What?
**[03:45] Atla**
Is that dragon really your father?
**[03:52] Wyndia**
Yes. He's my father.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Wyndia's Father**
Will you... protect her?
**[04:34] (Flashback) Wyndia's Father**
Please.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Wyndia's Father**
Her name is Wyndia.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Wyndia**
This is yummy, isn't it, Dad?
**[06:10] (Flashback) Wyndia**
This one's upside-down?
**[06:16] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Dad, what's wrong? Calm down!
**[06:19] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Dad! Dad!
**[06:23] Wyndia**
That's right. The upside-down scale...
**[06:27] Wyndia**
The upside-down scale on the dragon...
**[06:29] Atla**
Wyndia-san?
**[06:30] Wyndia**
I have to tell the Shield Hero!
**[06:34] Naofumi**
We're a good ways away
from the village here.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
If we can lure the dragon out,
we can attack him from above.
**[06:40] Sadeena**
And the dragon vein is
particularly strong here,
**[06:43] Sadeena**
so we'll have the protection
of the land, as well.
**[06:46] Ren**
I agree that this is a
good place to fight him,
**[06:48] Ren**
but is he actually going to show up here?
**[06:51] Naofumi**
I'll use the Wrath Shield.
**[06:54] Melty**
We'll save Filo-chan,
no matter what it takes.
**[06:57] Sadeena**
Well, then we'd better get ready, right?
**[07:00] Melty**
I'll hide all the magic water and healing
potions I can find in the forest.
**[07:04] Eclair**
We have to be sure to clean and repair
our weapons and equipment, too.
**[07:07] Ren**
What's our plan, though?
**[07:08] Naofumi**
About that...
**[07:10] Wyndia**
Shield Hero!
**[07:15] Wyndia**
Everyone, listen to me!
**[07:17] Wyndia**
I figured out the Emperor Dragon's weakness!
**[07:23] Naofumi**
The upside-down scale...
**[07:24] Wyndia**
Yes. There's a single scale on
its chest that's upside-down.
**[07:29] Wyndia**
That's a dragon's weak point, I think.
**[07:33] Ren**
But what if it flies up into the air?
**[07:36] Naofumi**
I'll attract its attention and
make it land on the ground.
**[07:38] Naofumi**
Can you pin it down before
it starts flying again?
**[07:41] Sadeena**
Leave it to me.
**[07:43] Sadeena**
I've got the perfect Choral spell.
**[07:45] Sadeena**
Wyndia-chan and Melty-chan can help.
**[07:50] Sadeena**
I'm counting on you.
**[07:52] Melty**
Fine. I'll do it.
**[07:54] Wyndia**
I'll do my best, too!
**[07:56] Naofumi**
Raphtalia and Eclair, use attacks that
do more damage to high-defense enemies
**[07:59] Naofumi**
to wear down the Emperor Dragon's health.
**[08:01] Naofumi**
Ren and Sadeena, work together
and pierce the scale.
**[08:04] Naofumi**
Right now, that's the best plan we've got.
**[08:14] Fohl**
You sure you're okay?
**[08:15] Wyndia**
What do you mean?
**[08:17] Fohl**
I mean, we're about to
fight your dad, right?
**[08:21] Wyndia**
Yeah.
**[08:22] Wyndia**
But I'm okay.
**[08:25] Wyndia**
I came back here to say goodbye to my dad.
**[08:31] Fohl**
You're really strong, Wyndia.
**[08:34] Fohl**
Your dad, huh?
**[08:36] Sadeena**
You're such good kids, both of you!
**[08:39] Wyndia**
Are you drinking? At a time like this?
**[08:41] Sadeena**
This is exactly the time when you drink!
**[08:44] Sadeena**
Don't worry. I'll protect
you kids, no matter what.
**[08:50] Sadeena**
'Cause you're both so cute!
**[08:53] Fohl**
Your breath smells like alcohol!
**[08:54] Wyndia**
Can you fight when you're drunk?
**[08:57] Sadeena**
Of course! I actually get stronger!
**[09:07] Melty**
Grant me the power to overcome
the obstacles before me!
**[09:12] Melty**
Filo-chan...
**[09:25] Naofumi**
Go hide with the other kids...
**[09:27] Atla**
Naofumi-sama, I'll fight with you.
**[09:29] Naofumi**
No.
**[09:30] Atla**
But...
**[09:30] Naofumi**
Using your power is our last
resort if nothing else works.
**[09:35] Naofumi**
I want to have an ace up my sleeve.
**[09:37] Atla**
An ace!
**[09:38] Atla**
Yes, I'll do my best!
**[09:41] Atla**
Onii-sama! I'm the ace, Onii-sama!
**[09:45] Naofumi**
* I still don't fully understand*
* how her power works, though.*
**[09:49] Naofumi**
*It's too risky to try and rely on it.*
**[09:52] Naofumi**
* We'll have to finish this by*
* the time the sun rises.*
**[09:54] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raph-chan.
**[09:58] Naofumi**
Come! Wrath Shield!
**[10:32] Naofumi**
Stay back!
**[10:34] Naofumi**
I'm fine!
**[10:39] Naofumi**
There he is...
**[10:44] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
Dragon vein, hear our wish!
**[10:48] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
As source of thy power, I beseech thee...
**[10:51] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
Decipher the laws of nature,
**[10:53] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
and grant me the power to overcome
the obstacles before me!
**[10:57] Dragon**
Sacrifice yourself to me, Shield Hero,
**[11:00] Dragon**
and I will get revenge on all
the humans who made you suffer.
**[11:07] Naofumi**
Don't make me laugh.
**[11:10] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
Choral Magic! Boundless Sea!
**[11:27] Sadeena**
Dragonfury Dual Blades!
**[11:32] Sadeena**
And one more...
**[11:34] Sadeena**
Orca Strike!
**[11:43] Wyndia**
No... we can't keep the
barrier up without her...
**[11:46] Melty**
Now's not the time for weakness!
**[11:48] Melty**
We'll try it again!
**[11:50] Wyndia**
Yeah!
**[11:53] Naofumi**
Eclair! Now!
**[11:56] Eclair**
Multistrike Crumble Attack!
**[11:58] Naofumi**
If he raises his defense, we do attacks
that do more damage to high defense.
**[12:01] Naofumi**
If he lowers it, we whale on him
with our strongest attacks.
**[12:06] Naofumi**
We can do this!
**[12:09] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[12:22] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[12:25] Raphtalia**
Life Force Blade: Guard Breaker!
**[12:51] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[13:00] Dragon**
Shield Hero, regret your folly!
**[13:14] Wyndia & Melty**
Cursed land, change the flow of
your accursed dragon vein...
**[13:23] Atla**
Not yet.
**[13:25] Atla**
More... More...
**[13:29] Fohl**
*If...*
**[13:31] (Flashback) Fohl**
If their plan fails...
**[13:35] (Flashback) Atla**
As Naofumi-sama's servants,
**[13:37] (Flashback) Atla**
we have a duty to sacrifice ourselves to
make the plan succeed if he orders us to.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Fohl**
Atla...
**[13:53] Atla**
A wall?
**[13:57] Atla**
I can't break it!
**[14:06] Atla**
Onii-sama!
**[14:12] Fohl**
Atla!
**[14:13] Atla**
Please, Onii-sama!
**[14:17] Fohl**
Damn it!
**[14:30] Atla**
This is my last attack.
**[14:33] Atla**
Even if it costs me my life...
**[14:35] Atla**
I'll remove any obstacle that
stands in Naofumi-sama's way.
**[14:40] Atla**
Because I am...
**[14:51] Atla**
Naofumi-sama's shield!
**[15:16] Naofumi**
Well done.
**[15:19] Atla**
Thank you...
**[15:25] Ren**
There they are!
**[15:41] All**
Filo-chan!
**[15:42] Wyndia**
Gaelion!
**[15:44] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[15:45] Melty**
Filo-chan! Wake up!
**[15:48] Melty**
Please!
**[15:52] Filo**
Mel-chan... Onee-chan...
**[15:56] Raphtalia**
Filo...
**[15:57] Melty**
I'm so glad you're safe...
**[16:00] Wyndia**
Gaelion...
**[16:36] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Fly, Dad!
**[16:44] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Good night, Dad.
**[16:49] Wyndia**
I'm glad I got to be your daughter.
**[17:06] Wyndia**
Cursed land, our desires,
**[17:09] Wyndia**
our wishes to save the world
are like a pure stream
**[17:13] Wyndia**
washing away hatred and anger.
**[17:16] Wyndia**
Dragon vein, we beseech thee to turn them
into strength and grant us a miracle!
**[17:20] Wyndia**
Erasing Aqua Splash!
**[18:00] Raphtalia**
You're not getting away!
**[18:02] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield! Second Shield!
Dritte Shield!
**[18:10] Raphtalia**
Instant Blade: Mist!
**[18:28] Fohl**
It's over?
**[18:31] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[18:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:48] Dragon**
Wrath will always dwell within your heart.
**[19:16] Mayor**
We're so lucky you came, Shield Hero!
**[19:20] Mayor**
The Sword Hero almost got
us all killed, you know!
**[19:25] Naofumi**
Don't blame Ren for what happened.
**[19:28] Naofumi**
You were the ones who manipulated him so
you could steal the dragon's treasure.
**[19:33] Naofumi**
You got what you deserved.
**[19:46] Ren**
I'm sorry.
**[19:48] Ren**
I've done something that
I can never atone for.
**[19:53] Wyndia**
I knew.
**[19:56] Wyndia**
I knew that the villagers
had manipulated you.
**[20:01] Wyndia**
But I still couldn't forgive you.
**[20:09] Wyndia**
Thank you!
**[20:13] Wyndia**
You saved my life twice!
**[20:23] Gaelion**
* It's wonderful to see your daughter*
* grow up, isn't it, Shield Hero?*
**[20:29] Naofumi**
That voice... It can't be.
**[20:31] Gaelion**
*It seems this body became a vessel,*
**[20:33] Gaelion**
*allowing me to escape annihilation.*
**[20:37] Naofumi**
You sure you don't want
to say anything to her?
**[20:40] Gaelion**
*She's trying to overcome my death.*
**[20:43] Gaelion**
*Keep it a secret for her sake as well.*
**[20:47] Naofumi**
I will.
**[20:53] Filo**
Give back the experience
points you took from me!
**[20:59] Filo**
Give them back! Give them back!
**[21:01] Filo**
Give them back!
**[21:03] Naofumi**
*Filo's curse is gone...*
**[21:06] Naofumi**
*Did the Emperor Dragon absorb it?*
**[21:11] Naofumi**
*All's well that ends well, I guess.*
**[21:25] Wyndia**
Let me ride, too!
**[21:39] Filo**
Wait!
**[21:41] Filo**
I'm the only one who gets
to give Master rides!
**[21:49] Wyndia**
Gaelion... grow up to be a great
dragon like my dad, okay?

are you the one who broke my bracelet?
**[00:18] Mald**
*There's no point in lying about it.*
**[00:21] (Flashback) Mald**
We saw you break it.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Rishia**
I-I didn't!
**[00:28] (Flashback) Mald**
We saw you do it.
**[00:30] (Flashback) Rishia**
I really don't know anything about it!
**[00:33] (Flashback) Itsuki**
So you're not even going to apologize?
**[00:35] (Flashback) Itsuki**
All right. Please leave our party immediately.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Rishia**
Itsuki-sama, believe me! I...
**[00:43] (Flashback) Itsuki**
Rishia-san, it doesn't matter
whether you did or not.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Itsuki**
You're weak and nothing but a burden.
**[00:54] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama...
**[00:57] Rishia**
I'm going to become stronger.
**[01:02] Rishia**
I'll show you I can become stronger!
**[01:11] Old Lady**
Your ki isn't focused at all.

Rishia, my student...

**[03:02] Naofumi**
Now, how do we fix this thing?
**[03:05] Melty**
This is gonna hit our budget bad.
**[03:07] Raphtalia**
Yeah...
**[03:11] Filo**
I'm the only one who gets
to give Master rides!
**[03:15] Filo**
I'm the only one!
**[03:18] Naofumi**
Stop fighting. It doesn't matter.
**[03:21] Filo**
It does matter!
**[03:24] Naofumi**
Gaelion, you're in time out for a while.
**[03:30] Wyndia**
Time out? Don't bully Gaelion!
**[03:34] Naofumi**
I'm not bullying him. He's being punished.
**[03:36] Raphtalia**
Well, he did cause a lot of trouble.
**[03:40] Filo**
Yup-yup!
**[03:41] Naofumi**
And you, Filo, need to raise your levels.
**[03:45] Naofumi**
It looks like we got lucky,
and what happened broke your curse.
**[03:49] Filo**
Got it!
**[03:51] Filo**
I'm gonna go level up with Mel-chan!
**[03:56] Filo**
We can get strong and then
have Master play with us!
**[03:59] Melty**
Wait, Filo-chan! I don't have time to level!
**[04:04] Melty**
I have so much work I need to do!
**[04:07] Naofumi**
But you were saying you wanted
a higher level, Mel-chan!
**[04:11] Melty**
I said that, but I didn't mean right now!
**[04:13] Filo**
But Mel-chan, remember when you got mad
at the important people and said,
**[04:16] Filo**
"If you can't do it today,
you can't do it tomorrow!"
**[04:19] Melty**
Yes, but...
**[04:19] Filo**
You said that even if you're busy,
nothing's going to happen unless you do it!
**[04:21] Raphtalia**
She's not going to give up
until Melty-san gives in.
**[04:23] Melty**
But... But...
**[04:25] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[04:26] Melty**
But I just can't, though!
**[04:28] Filo**
Why?
**[04:32] Naofumi**
Everybody's here, right?
**[04:36] Naofumi**
Crown Princess Melty has left on a journey
with her beloved bird to become stronger!
**[04:46] Filo**
Hooray!
**[04:48] Melty**
"Left on a journey?"
**[04:49] Melty**
Where did that come from?
**[04:51] Naofumi**
That's what we're telling people.
**[04:53] Naofumi**
Make sure everybody in
town knows it, Eclair.
**[04:56] Eclair**
O-Okay...
**[04:58] Melty**
Wait, Naofumi, you can't just decide that.
**[05:01] Naofumi**
I got permission from the Shadows.
**[05:03] Naofumi**
They think it's a great idea, it seems.
**[05:06] Naofumi**
You've got plenty of magical potential,
**[05:10] Naofumi**
but they say they've been concerned for
a while now that your level is too low
**[05:13] Naofumi**
for somebody who's supposed
to run a country.
**[05:15] Shadow**
Indeed, I daresay.
**[05:16] Melty**
But this is so sudden...
**[05:19] Naofumi**
So Filo, go level up with Melty.
**[05:22] Melty**
Wait!
**[05:23] Filo**
Hooray! Off I go!
**[05:29] Melty**
Wait, Filo-chan, I didn't say a word about—
**[05:31] Filo**
Off we go!
**[05:34] Melty**
Naofumi!
**[05:36] Melty**
You're gonna regret this!
**[05:42] Sadeena**
Leveling, huh?
**[05:44] Naofumi**
What?
**[05:45] Sadeena**
Even a busy girl like Melty-chan
needs time to play, right?
**[05:49] Raphtalia**
With Filo and Raph-chan
with her, she'll be safe.
**[05:52] Raphtalia**
I hope she has fun.
**[05:54] Naofumi**
Whatever.
**[05:57] Naofumi**
Anybody who's got work to do, get to it.
**[06:02] Naofumi**
Eclair...
**[06:04] Naofumi**
While Melty's gone, you need to act as
ruler and handle the day-to-day duties.
**[06:09] Eclair**
I-Iwatani-dono?
**[06:11] Naofumi**
It's your job, anyway.
**[06:13] Naofumi**
Who do you think's been doing the work
that piled up while you were slacking?
**[06:17] Naofumi**
You've been relying too much on Melty.
**[06:23] Ren**
If there's something I can do...
**[06:26] Ren**
I'm allowed to help, right?
**[06:29] Naofumi**
Sure, if that's what you want to do.
**[06:40] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[06:42] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan?
**[06:44] Sadeena**
No, it's nothing.
**[06:50] S'yne**
Is something wr*ng?
**[06:52] Naofumi**
Don't just show up out of nowhere like that!
**[06:55] Naofumi**
I guess it's time to eat.
**[07:01] S'yne**
Thank you.
**[07:03] Doll**
It was delicious!
**[07:05] Naofumi**
So, where have you been?
**[07:07] Naofumi**
We had a hell of a time while you were gone.
**[07:09] Sadeena**
S'yne-chan was doing some work underground.
**[07:14] S'yne**
Yeah.
**[07:15] Fohl**
Underground?
**[07:16] Raphtalia**
The underground arena.
**[07:18] Doll**
Of course, I'll be giving you
half of what I earned, Naofumi-san.
**[07:25] Naofumi**
All right, keep the money coming!
**[07:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, that's not very nice.
**[07:29] Atla**
Just what I would expect from Naofumi-sama!
**[07:31] Raphtalia**
Why would you expect him to say that?
**[07:33] Sadeena**
I'm impressed you managed to make this
much in such a short time, though!
**[07:38] S'yne**
Somebody made ev*n more.
**[07:40] Doll**
There's a rumor about an
archer who's been going
**[07:43] Doll**
to a different arena every single day.
**[07:46] Rishia**
An archer?
**[07:50] S'yne**
Their name is "Perfect Hidden Justice."
**[07:55] Naofumi**
No, there's no way...
**[07:57] Ren**
With a ridiculous name like that,
who else could it be, though?
**[08:03] Rishia**
Is it Itsuki-sama?
**[08:07] Naofumi**
Either way, we don't have any other clues.
**[08:10] Naofumi**
It's worth going to see.
**[08:12] Keel**
You're going to the arena?
Then I want to go, too!
**[08:15] Naofumi**
We're not going to have fun!
**[08:17] Keel**
I know!
**[08:18] Keel**
I want to get stronger!
**[08:22] Old Lady**
Take her.
**[08:24] Old Lady**
She's at the point where she could
learn by fighting some mercenaries,
**[08:29] Old Lady**
instead of just people she knows.
**[08:33] Old Lady**
She's strong enough now to fight there.
**[08:48] Keel**
Wow!
**[08:51] Keel**
We get to fight here, right?
**[08:53] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[08:54] Naofumi**
Just don't do anything dumb.
**[08:56] Keel**
I know!
**[08:58] Raphtalia**
Fohl-kun decided not to come, huh?
**[09:01] Naofumi**
He realized how weak he was,
**[09:03] Naofumi**
and is going to have the old
lady train him, he says.
**[09:06] Naofumi**
The two of them were both really
fired up, so he's in for a rough time.
**[09:16] Slave Merchant**
Welcome! Welcome!
**[09:20] Slave Merchant**
These are today's entrants, yes?
**[09:24] Slave Merchant**
I see. They're just what I'd expect
slaves of the Shield Hero to be.
**[09:28] Slave Merchant**
They all have a fire in their eyes!
**[09:33] Slave Merchant**
Oh my. Today's tournament is
more for sport than anything.
**[09:39] Slave Merchant**
Don't worry, yes.
**[09:41] Naofumi**
Sadeena, you're in charge here.
**[09:43] Sadeena**
Sure thing. Leave it to me.
**[09:47] Naofumi**
Everyone, make sure you're
careful when you're fighting.
**[09:50] All**
Okay!
**[09:51] Sadeena**
Let's go, everyone!
**[09:54] Kids**
Okay! Let's go!
**[09:58] Slave Merchant**
So? I'm told you have a question for me?
**[10:01] Naofumi**
Yes. Is one of the contestants an
archer named Perfect Hidden Justice?
**[10:14] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[10:15] Naofumi**
Wait, Rishia!
**[10:16] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san!
**[10:21] Rishia**
*Itsuki-sama...*
**[10:30] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[10:39] Naofumi**
What's gotten into you, Rishia?
**[10:41] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama...
**[10:43] Ren**
Hey, isn't that...
**[10:46] Ren**
Itsuki?
**[10:52] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[10:54] Slave Merchant**
Oh my. You all started running,
and I wondered where you'd gone.
**[10:59] Slave Merchant**
Is that the man you're looking for?
**[11:02] Naofumi**
I know the match hasn't started,
but can we talk to him?
**[11:05] Slave Merchant**
Yes. I'll allow it, on my own authority.
**[11:09] Slave Merchant**
Go ahead.
**[11:21] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama.
**[11:24] Rishia**
Um... it's been a long time.
**[11:26] Rishia**
I...
**[11:26] Itsuki**
Everything's fine.
**[11:28] Itsuki**
I... yes... everyone is...
**[11:32] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama?
**[11:34] Itsuki**
Yes...
**[11:36] Itsuki**
Everyone wants my help...
**[11:39] Itsuki**
The prize money I win today will save lives.
**[11:43] Rishia**
Um, Itsuki-sama!
**[11:45] Itsuki**
I'm every bit as strong as I used to be.
**[11:49] Itsuki**
I...
**[11:50] Itsuki**
I'm a servant of justice!
**[11:57] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san!
**[11:57] Naofumi**
Rishia!
**[11:59] Raphtalia**
Are you okay?
**[12:02] Naofumi**
Hey, Itsuki.
**[12:07] Itsuki**
Naofumi-san.
**[12:09] Itsuki**
I've heard...
**[12:12] Itsuki**
I've heard from Princess Malty about
all the evil things you've done!
**[12:17] Itsuki**
Why am I hearing Witch's
name from your lips?
**[12:21] Ren**
Don't tell me Bitch is with you!
**[12:24] Itsuki**
What if she is?
**[12:26] Itsuki**
It's none of your business.
**[12:29] Naofumi**
Listen, Itsuki. You need
to ditch Witch, now.
**[12:32] Ren**
Do what he says.
**[12:33] Ren**
Nothing that woman says is true.
**[12:37] Itsuki**
How can you say that when you
don't know what she said?
**[12:40] Ren**
Because I know!
**[12:42] Ren**
I know that woman.
**[12:44] Ren**
"Whatever you're doing is right.
I'm the only one who believes you!"
**[12:48] Ren**
She's saying exactly what
you want to hear, right?
**[12:51] Ren**
They're all lies to trick you!
**[12:59] Itsuki**
This is a waste of time.
**[13:01] Itsuki**
I'm leaving. My round is about to begin.
**[13:04] Naofumi**
Wait! Itsuki!
**[13:12] Slave Merchant**
Participant number 982.
**[13:15] Slave Merchant**
That's Perfect Hidden Justice-san, yes?
**[13:19] Slave Merchant**
I think it was right after you left...
**[13:24] Slave Merchant**
I see him at my own arena, too.
**[13:28] Naofumi**
It's just like the rumors S'yne heard, then.
**[13:32] Ren**
Naofumi, I'm glad we
found him, but now what?
**[13:35] Raphtalia**
From the look of it...
**[13:37] Naofumi**
Yeah. We're not going to be able
to have a productive conversation.
**[13:43] Atla**
So the new plan is to knock him
unconscious and capture him, yes?
**[13:48] Atla**
Or simply speak to him with our fists.
**[13:51] Raphtalia**
Why are both of those choices so violent?
**[13:54] Raphtalia**
Sheesh...
**[13:55] Naofumi**
I'd rather work things
out peacefully, but...
**[13:58] Ren**
If Bitch is around,
we don't have a lot of time.
**[14:01] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[14:02] Naofumi**
And there's also those
enemies S'yne talked about.
**[14:05] Naofumi**
What do we do?
**[14:12] Itsuki**
*No.*
**[14:14] Itsuki**
*I'm not being lied to.*
**[14:18] Itsuki**
*I'm not wrong...*
**[14:21] Itsuki**
* All the looks of disgust I've*
* gotten ever since that day...*
**[14:27] Itsuki**
*The words they've said to me...*
**[14:30] Itsuki**
*They're all in the wrong! Not me!*
**[14:35] Itsuki**
*That's what Princess Malty said, too.*
**[14:39] Itsuki**
* And even though we parted ways once,*
* Mald and the others came back to me.*
**[14:47] Itsuki**
*That's right.*
**[14:48] Itsuki**
*Everybody wants me.*
**[14:50] Itsuki**
*That's why I fight.*
**[14:52] Itsuki**
* For the sake of Princess Malty and*
* my comrades who believe in me...*
**[14:57] Itsuki**
*That's why I continue to fight!*
**[15:16] Naofumi**
* He hasn't been able to power up*
* his Cardinal Weapon, either.*
**[15:21] Naofumi**
*And that bow...*
**[15:23] Naofumi**
*I don't like the feeling it's giving me!*
**[15:28] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san, are you okay?
**[15:31] Rishia**
Yes, I'm...
**[16:05] Rishia**
U-Um...
**[16:07] Rishia**
Let me fight Itsuki-sama!
**[16:11] Rishia**
Please?
**[16:13] Naofumi**
Fight him?
**[16:15] Rishia**
I want to talk to him.
**[16:17] Rishia**
I've always wanted to repay
him for saving my life.
**[16:25] Rishia**
When we were in the same party, I was useless.
**[16:30] Rishia**
I wasn't allowed to fight.
I just did menial jobs.
**[16:35] Rishia**
I was weak. I was nothing
but a burden to him.
**[16:39] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san...
**[16:41] Rishia**
My stats were actually really low.
**[16:45] Rishia**
But in my time with you I've
seen you and your comrades
**[16:48] Rishia**
save each other's lives again and again!
**[16:52] Rishia**
So now...
**[16:56] Rishia**
When I see him suffering,
**[16:57] Rishia**
I think that maybe there's
something I can do to help him.
**[17:02] Naofumi**
I understand how you feel.
**[17:04] Naofumi**
But he's not going to listen...
**[17:06] Rishia**
That's why I want to fight him!
**[17:08] Rishia**
If it's a one-on-one
fight, I'm sure he'll...
**[17:14] Slave Merchant**
Shield Hero, I think I may
have just the thing, yes.
**[17:26] Itsuki**
Here's the money I made today.
**[17:28] Mald**
Well done, Itsuki-sama.
**[17:31] Spearwoman**
Yes, I'm so impressed!
**[17:32] Myne**
Thank you...
**[17:37] Itsuki**
What is it?
**[17:39] Myne**
No... It's still not enough
to save all the slaves.
**[17:44] Myne**
And when I think of the
children we can't save...
**[17:46] Itsuki**
Don't worry.
**[17:48] Itsuki**
Just leave everything to me.
**[17:51] Itsuki**
With this bow that you
gave me, Princess Malty...
**[17:55] Itsuki**
I'm sure...
**[17:57] Itsuki**
No, I promise I'll save them...
**[18:00] Myne**
Itsuki-sama...
**[18:01] Itsuki**
Oh, I met Naofumi-san.
**[18:06] Itsuki**
Just like you said. He has slaves with him.
**[18:10] Itsuki**
And he said I was being lied to.
**[18:15] Mald**
D-Do you think we're lying to you?
**[18:18] Itsuki**
No. Of course not.
**[18:20] Itsuki**
I'll make Naofumi-san understand.
**[18:24] Itsuki**
I'll make prize money. Save the slaves.
**[18:27] Itsuki**
And show him that we're
the ones in the right...
**[18:30] Myne**
Yes.
**[18:34] Hooded Man**
The Shield Hero's here?
**[18:36] Myne**
Sorry, but we won't be able to sell
the boy into slavery after all.
**[18:41] Hooded Man**
Yes. He's young enough to be worth a lot,
**[18:44] Hooded Man**
but he's already made us a lot of money.
**[18:46] Hooded Man**
We've made enough...
**[18:47] Myne**
No, not yet. I've put up with listening
to his childish ideas about justice.
**[18:52] Myne**
I'm going to squeeze every
last drop out of him.
**[18:55] Myne**
As a grown-up, it's my job to teach
him how the real world works.
**[19:16] Man**
Here's your prize money for the day.
**[19:17] Man**
And also...
**[19:20] Itsuki**
What's this?
**[19:22] Slave Merchant**
* I'm going to have one of my men send*
* an invitation to the Bow Hero.*
**[19:27] (Flashback) Slave Merchant**
And tonight, I'm going to lure him
into a secret underground arena
**[19:31] (Flashback) Slave Merchant**
where the ritual magic
Sanctuary has been cast...
**[19:37] (Flashback) Slave Merchant**
And capture the Bow Hero, yes!
**[19:42] (Flashback) Slave Merchant**
Oh? Is there a problem?
**[19:45] (Flashback) Naofumi**
I'm curious why you're doing all this.
**[19:47] (Flashback) Naofumi**
I'm sure the Queen of Melromarc
**[19:50] (Flashback) Naofumi**
will pay a reward if you help
capture the Bow Hero, but...
**[19:54] (Flashback) Slave Merchant**
Just as I'd expect of the Shield Hero!
**[19:56] (Flashback) Slave Merchant**
I'm in awe of your ability to
ferret out my true intentions!
**[20:01] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Yeah, right.
**[20:03] (Flashback) Naofumi**
You're not trying to make money by
selling tickets to the match, right?
**[20:07] (Flashback) Slave Merchant**
Of course. I haven't invited an audience.
**[20:13] (Flashback) Slave Merchant**
The Bow Hero has arrived, I'm being told.
**[20:18] (Flashback) Naofumi**
He's not as strong as he could be,
**[20:20] (Flashback) Naofumi**
but he might be affected
by the Curse series.
**[20:24] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Don't worry. We're with you.
**[20:27] (Flashback) Naofumi**
If things go bad, we'll be
right out there with you.
**[20:34] (Flashback) Rishia**
Everyone...
**[20:36] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Go show Itsuki the woman you've become!
**[20:40] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Show him that you're plenty strong now!
**[20:44] (Flashback) Rishia**
Okay! I'll do my bwest!
**[21:01] Raphtalia**
To Rishia-san, the Bow Hero really
is someone important, right?
**[21:08] MC**
We will now begin our match between Rishia Ivyred...
**[21:15] MC**
and Perfect Hidden Justice!
**[21:26] Kids**
You can do it, Rishia-neechan!
**[21:29] Itsuki**
I haven't done anything...
**[21:29] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[21:35] Itsuki**
Oh. Are you my opponent, Rishia-san?
**[21:39] Itsuki**
This will be easy.
**[21:41] Rishia**
You saved me from despair.
**[21:45] Itsuki**
Is that what you came here to say?
**[21:49] Rishia**
So this time...
**[21:52] Rishia**
It's my turn to save you!

**[00:25] Itsuki**
Make them understand... that I'm right!
**[00:29] Itsuki**
That I'm not inferior to anyone.
**[00:32] Itsuki**
That I'm on the side of justice...
**[00:36] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!

**[00:44] Itsuki**

Don't make me laugh.
**[01:05] Keel**
Don't you dare insult Nee-chan!
**[01:08] Keel**
She's really strong!
**[01:10] Kids**
That's right! She's really strong!
**[01:11] Kids**
Don't let this guy beat you, Nee-chan!
**[01:23] Itsuki**
I get it.
**[01:24] Itsuki**
This whole fight was a setup, then.
**[01:27] Itsuki**
You lied to me and tried to trick me.
**[01:30] Itsuki**
Just like you do with everyone else!
**[01:33] Itsuki**
It must be the will of heaven
that I was brought here!
**[01:39] Itsuki**
Right here, I'll show the world
all the evil you've done...
**[01:42] Itsuki**
and make you understand just how right I am!
**[01:46] Rishia**
No, Itsuki-sama!
**[01:48] Naofumi**
Stop it, Itsuki! Do you know
what it is you're about to do?
**[01:54] Itsuki**
I...
**[01:56] Itsuki**
I will never forgive evil!
**[02:04] Rishia**
No!

**[03:50] Rishia**
The Phoenix is about to revive,
and you're in danger, too!
**[03:53] Itsuki**
Naofumi!
**[03:55] Itsuki**
A little birdie told me you're
buying up child slaves,
**[03:58] Itsuki**
forcing them to do heavy labor, and keeping
all the money they earn for yourself!
**[04:04] Itsuki**
I even heard you gave expensive
medicine to a slave
**[04:07] Itsuki**
to help his sick sister, only so
you could exploit him forever!
**[04:11] Itsuki**
And even now, you're using those
kids as shields to protect yourself!
**[04:15] Itsuki**
You coward!
**[04:17] Itsuki**
That's not all!
**[04:19] Itsuki**
A mother came to me and said
that despite your hero powers,
**[04:25] Itsuki**
you refused to save her son!
**[04:27] Naofumi**
Her son was already dead, right?
**[04:30] Itsuki**
Why didn't you use your miraculous powers?
**[04:33] Itsuki**
I'll never forgive you for that!
**[04:36] Naofumi**
Even the legendary shield can't
bring back the dead. You know that.
**[04:41] Naofumi**
You seem obsessed with making me out
to be the worst person in the world.
**[04:46] Naofumi**
But what about the ones who died because
you failed to defeat the Spirit Tortoise?
**[04:51] Naofumi**
Or does it not count when
you're the one who screws up?
**[04:56] Itsuki**
So you're trying to change the subject to
me so you can escape from your crimes?
**[05:02] Itsuki**
This is a waste of my time.
**[05:05] Itsuki**
If you have no intention
of repenting at all...
**[05:09] Itsuki**
Then I won't show any mercy!
**[05:16] Naofumi**
That power...
**[05:18] Itsuki**
This is my new bow...
**[05:21] Itsuki**
The Justice Bow!
**[05:23] Itsuki**
With the full power of this unlocked bow...
**[05:26] Itsuki**
I'll show you just how evil you are!
**[05:31] Rishia**
Stop this!
**[05:32] Itsuki**
Now see for yourself just how right I am!
**[05:41] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[05:52] Rishia**
A-Are you okay?
**[06:03] MC**
Itsuki-sama!
**[06:06] MC**
As the referee for this
underground coliseum,
**[06:09] MC**
I was secretly in the Shield Hero's service!
**[06:12] MC**
Please, forgive me!
**[06:14] Itsuki**
Very well.
**[06:15] Itsuki**
Repent and change your ways.
**[06:18] MC**
I will, Itsuki-sama!
**[06:21] Naofumi**
* This power... is Itsuki being*
* affected by the Curse series?*
**[06:25] Naofumi**
That bow of yours...
**[06:28] Itsuki**
Amazing, isn't it?
**[06:30] Itsuki**
It's a weapon infused with holy power,
given to me by Princess Malty.
**[06:35] Itsuki**
With this, I can make everyone understand me.
**[06:38] Itsuki**
I can save them and put them
on the path of justice!
**[06:42] Ren**
So Bitch got to Itsuki when he was in shock
after losing to the Spirit Tortoise?
**[06:47] Naofumi**
All of you need to get out of here now.
**[06:49] Naofumi**
Keel, you're in charge.
**[06:51] Keel**
Got it.
**[06:52] Keel**
Everyone, follow me!
**[06:57] Sadeena**
Come on! It's time to go!
**[07:01] Itsuki**
Come, everyone!
**[07:02] Itsuki**
Fight me, so you can understand
who's really right here!
**[07:06] Crowd**
Perfect Hidden Justice!
**[07:07] Crowd**
Itsuki-sama!
**[07:11] Naofumi**
You're full of shit.
**[07:13] Naofumi**
That bow hasn't got a damn
thing to do with justice.
**[07:16] Naofumi**
It brainwashes people!
**[07:17] Itsuki**
No, this bow is true justice!
**[07:21] Itsuki**
Yes! Justice means power!
**[07:24] Itsuki**
It means proving you're right!
**[07:26] Itsuki**
Aiding the weak and humbling the strong!
**[07:29] Itsuki**
And that means I've got just one job...
**[07:32] Itsuki**
Destroying all the evil in this world!
**[07:36] Naofumi**
Itsuki...
**[07:37] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[07:42] Rishia**
I refuse to accept your justice!
**[07:46] Itsuki**
I'd forgotten you were here, Rishia-san.
**[07:50] Rishia**
Ever since we first met, I've asked
myself what justice really means.
**[07:57] Rishia**
I wanted to be someone who could
save people who needed my help,
**[08:03] Rishia**
just like you saved me.
**[08:07] Rishia**
But you're not the same
person you were anymore.
**[08:10] Rishia**
The justice I learned from you...
**[08:13] Rishia**
My justice... refuses to
accept what you're doing!
**[08:18] Itsuki**
Rishia-san, I'll save you once more.
**[08:23] Itsuki**
No matter what anyone says,
I'm on the side of justice!

So you're a little tougher than I thought.
**[08:52] Itsuki**
Rishia-san, you need to understand
me and awaken to justice!
**[08:57] Itsuki**
If you do...
**[08:58] Rishia**
No!
**[08:59] Rishia**
I refuse to accept the person
you are right now, Itsuki-sama!

First Stance:
**[09:11] Rishia**
Sun!
**[09:11] Itsuki**
Meteor Shot!
**[09:15] Rishia**
Second Stance:
**[09:16] Rishia**
Moon!
**[09:18] Itsuki**
My justice...
**[09:20] Itsuki**
can't be stopped by someone
as weak as you, Rishia-san!
**[09:22] Rishia**
Third Stance!
**[09:24] Rishia**
Star!
**[09:30] Itsuki**
Enough of this!
**[09:38] Itsuki**
Law Fanatic!
**[09:44] Naofumi**
A self-boost skill?
**[09:47] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama! You mustn't let
that power take control of you!
**[09:50] Rishia**
Let go of it!
**[09:52] Naofumi**
* That idiot Itsuki's so obsessed with*
* his own justice, it's blinding him!*
**[09:57] Naofumi**
*So his deadly sin would be pride, then?*
**[09:59] Ren**
Stop it, Itsuki!
**[10:00] Ren**
If you use any more of the Curse
series's power, you'll regret it!
**[10:03] Itsuki**
I have nothing to say to evil!
**[10:08] Itsuki**
Take this! Shadow Bind!
**[10:15] Itsuki**
Bind Arrow!
**[10:19] Rishia**
I-I haven't lost yet!
**[10:21] Itsuki**
No, this is over.
**[10:24] Itsuki**
Let this foolish sinner
pay for her transgressions
**[10:28] Itsuki**
with her being roasted to
death in a brazen bull!
**[10:32] Itsuki**
Let her writhe in pain as her
dying screams are converted
**[10:36] Itsuki**
into the cries of a raging bull!
**[10:38] Itsuki**
Bull of Phalaris!
**[10:45] Naofumi**
Rishia!
**[10:46] Itsuki**
Now victory is mine!
**[10:56] Rishia**
Fourth Stance!
**[10:59] Rishia**
Demon!
**[11:03] Itsuki**
My eyes!
**[11:05] Itsuki**
Why... Why do you have to
keep getting in my way?!
**[11:09] Itsuki**
I'll never forgive you!
**[11:10] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama?
**[11:12] Itsuki**
I'll never forgive you...
**[11:17] Itsuki**
I'll never forgive you...
**[11:21] Itsuki**
I'll never forgive you...
**[11:31] Naofumi**
Itsuki! Come back to us!
**[11:33] Ren**
Itsuki!
**[11:34] Itsuki**
I'll never forgive you!
**[11:47] Itsuki**
Die.
**[11:49] Itsuki**
Anyone who opposes me must die!
**[11:50] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama! You mustn't rely on that power!
**[11:53] Itsuki**
Die for the sake of justice!
**[11:56] Itsuki**
This world is defiled by your evil!
**[12:06] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[12:07] Naofumi**
Right.
**[12:08] Naofumi**
Rishia! Take it!
**[12:11] Rishia**
I'm sorry.
**[12:12] Rishia**
This battle is between me and Itsuki-sama.
**[12:15] Rishia**
Accepting your weapon would
go against my own justice.
**[12:19] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san...
**[12:22] Itsuki**
Then the battle is over, it seems.
**[12:25] Rishia**
No, it's not over at all.
**[12:27] Itsuki**
How will you fight without a weapon?
**[12:38] Itsuki**
Now you understand, right? Give up!
**[12:41] Itsuki**
No matter how much I suffer
or despair... I won't give up!
**[12:48] Itsuki**
Because that's what you taught me to
do when you saved me from despair!
**[12:55] Itsuki**
You taught me that justice never gives up!
**[12:59] Itsuki**
Fool... you're evil!
**[13:02] Rishia**
The opposite of justice isn't evil!
**[13:05] Rishia**
It's another form of justice!
**[13:06] Rishia**
Every single person has their own form
of justice. That's what I think!
**[13:10] Itsuki**
No! You're the evil that defiles the world!
**[13:13] Itsuki**
I'm on the side of justice...
I'll use my power to save the world!
**[13:17] Rishia**
And that's why I'll fight you with
my own justice, Itsuki-sama!
**[13:22] Itsuki**
Shut up and lose already, evil!
**[13:32] Ren**
What?
**[13:34] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, that's...
**[13:40] Atla**
A bright, pure ki flew from within
the evil ki towards Rishia-san...
**[13:47] Naofumi**
Pure?
**[13:48] Naofumi**
The Cardinal Weapons still have
some kind of hidden power?
**[13:56] Itsuki**
What just happened?
**[13:58] Rishia**
Even the bow of the Hero does
not accept your justice.
**[14:03] Rishia**
The bow gave me this strength to stop you!
**[14:08] Itsuki**
Bullshit!
**[14:10] Itsuki**
My bow would never betray me!
**[14:13] Itsuki**
That's impossible.
**[14:15] Itsuki**
This isn't happening! This isn't happening!
**[14:20] Itsuki**
This isn't happening!

My new power... that was
supposed to save the world...
**[15:15] (Flashback) Boy Itsuki**
Class 3-3, Kawasumi Itsuki!
**[15:20] (Flashback) Boy Itsuki**
My dream is to grow up and be
a hero who fights for justice,
**[15:24] (Flashback) Boy Itsuki**
and saves lots of people!
**[15:29] (Flashback) Student**
With your power, you definitely can!
**[15:32] (Flashback) Student B**
You're going to a middle school that
only kids with powers can go to, right?
**[15:36] (Flashback) Student C**
That's so cool!
***SIGN*** School Entry Permit

Level As are so amazing.
**[16:04] (Flashback) Student E**

You've won at life!

No...
***SIGN*** Kawasumi
**[16:32] Itsuki**
*I refuse to accept this.*
**[16:35] (Flashback) Itsuki**
I'm not inferior to anyone!
**[16:43] (Flashback) Myne**
I'm the only one who understands you...
**[16:47] Itsuki**
That's right.
**[16:49] Itsuki**
I still have someone who believes in me.
**[16:53] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama...
**[16:54] Itsuki**
Princess Malty is the only one who...
**[16:59] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[17:01] Naofumi**
Wait, Itsuki! Rishia!
**[17:03] Itsuki**
*I'm sure Princess Malty will understand...*
**[17:07] Itsuki**
*that I'm on the side of justice!*
**[17:10] (Flashback) Myne**
I'm the only one who understands...
**[17:13] (Flashback) Myne**
that you care about this world
and its people more than anyone.
**[17:19] (Flashback) Myne**
But... everyone else only
cares about themselves.
**[17:22] (Flashback) Myne**
Everyone except you, Itsuki-sama!
**[17:25] (Flashback) Myne**
No matter what anyone says, you always
charge ahead to save people.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Myne**
You are true justice!
**[17:33] (Flashback) Itsuki**
I...
**[17:35] (Flashback) Myne**
You've suffered a lot, haven't you?
**[17:40] (Flashback) Myne**
This is a gift for you, Itsuki-sama.
**[17:48] (Flashback) Itsuki**
That's right.
**[17:50] (Flashback) Itsuki**
I'm not wrong. I need to save
the people who are wrong...
**[17:55] Itsuki**
*Because I'm on the side of justice...*
**[17:58] Itsuki**
*I have to save them!*
**[18:14] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama.
**[18:16] Naofumi**
Witch left you a letter.
**[18:19] Naofumi**
Itsuki, can you read it?
**[18:23] Ren**
I'll read it.
**[18:29] Ren**
It says Bitch already spent all
the prize money he'd earned.
**[18:36] Myne**
*Was it fun pretending to be a hero?*
**[18:39] Myne**
* You looked like you were having a great*
* time imagining you were saving people.*
**[18:44] Myne**
* Well, it was a lot of easy money*
* for us, so thanks for that.*
**[18:49] Myne**
*Oh, if you love me, defeat the Shield!*
**[18:53] Myne**
*Then we'll see each other again.*
**[18:56] Myne**
*Oh, and one more thing.*
**[18:58] Myne**
*I left you a present.*
**[19:00] Ren**
She says she left him a present.
**[19:03] Ren**
Have fun paying it back, she says.
**[19:06] Naofumi**
Debt notes.
**[19:07] Naofumi**
All stamped with Itsuki's stamp.
**[19:10] Itsuki**
I...
**[19:13] Itsuki**
I...
**[19:15] Itsuki**
I...
**[19:16] Itsuki**
I...
**[19:23] Itsuki**
I...
**[19:24] Itsuki**
I...
**[19:26] Itsuki**
I...
**[19:31] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[19:51] (Flashback) Grandma**
You're a hero fighting for justice, Itsuki.
**[20:23] Rishia**
This is Naofumi-san and his party's village.
**[20:28] Rishia**
He agreed to help pay your debts.
**[20:35] Rishia**
Don't worry. I'll help, too.
**[20:39] Rishia**
Once that's done, we can go out on a journey
to make the world a better place.
**[20:45] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama?
**[21:10] Kids**
Wait!
**[21:13] Kids**
Wait!
**[21:14] Naofumi**
*That translucent weapon Rishia used...*
**[21:17] Naofumi**
*Even the queen didn't know what it was.*
**[21:21] Naofumi**
* Either way, the Phoenix*
* will revive soon,*
**[21:25] Naofumi**
*but all four heroes are together,*
**[21:27] Naofumi**
* and we've shared methods to make*
* us stronger with each other.*
**[21:31] Naofumi**
All that's left is to make
my lands better protected.
**[21:35] Raphtalia**
Will the Bow Hero be okay?
**[21:40] Naofumi**
He used the power of the Curse series
and the bow rejected him, too.
**[21:50] Naofumi**
He had his own ideas about justice.
**[21:56] Naofumi**
But "justice" is a complicated thing.

**[00:08] Raphtalia**
I'm, uh... well...
**[00:13] Sadeena**
Yes?
**[00:14] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I...
**[00:21] Gaelion**
I'm also feeling... a bit...
**[00:26] Sadeena**
Oh my! Oh my!
**[00:28] Sadeena**
I guess there's a reason they call these
sakes Tanuki and Dragon Killer.
**[00:31] Sadeena**
Maybe it was a little too strong for
Raphtalia-chan and Gaelion-chan.
**[00:35] Naofumi**
I can see why you'd want to keep
a great place like this a secret.
**[00:42] Sadeena**
Wonderful, isn't it?
**[00:43] Naofumi**
I feel like I can definitely learn the Way of
the Dragon Vein here without Atla bugging us.
**[00:49] Sadeena**
Gaelion-chan's a great teacher.
**[00:52] Sadeena**
It won't take long at all
before you've mastered it!
**[00:54] Naofumi**
He is? Really?
**[01:00] (Flashback) Gaelion**
You can't go firing off your magic power!
**[01:02] (Flashback) Sadeena**
You don't want to unleash
your power like magic.
**[01:05] (Flashback) Sadeena**
Instead, envision yourself as an empty
vessel being filled with power!
**[01:09] (Flashback) Naofumi**
That's too abstract! I don't get it at all!
**[01:11] (Flashback) Naofumi**
And you're also telling me that Raphtalia
**[01:13] (Flashback) Naofumi**
already has a blessing on her
so it's hard to teach her.
**[01:17] (Flashback) Sadeena**
The big surprise for me was
that Gaelion-chan can talk!
**[01:25] Sadeena**
So what's the deal?
**[01:31] Sadeena**
I'm talking about Raphtalia-chan!
**[01:33] Sadeena**
How do you actually feel about her?
**[01:39] Naofumi**
What's the deal with you two?
**[01:44] Sadeena**
Naofumi-chan, Raphtalia-chan and her
parents were what gave my life meaning.
**[01:51] Naofumi**
Gave your life meaning?
**[01:54] Sadeena**
So if you want to marry her,
**[01:57] Sadeena**
you'd better act real
careful when I'm around!
**[02:01] Naofumi**
I just think of her as
a daughter, that's all.
**[02:05] Sadeena**
Is that really all?
**[02:11] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[02:13] Sadeena**
Oh, you're awake?
**[02:15] Sadeena**
Okay, you'll get cold if
you fall asleep out here.
**[02:18] Sadeena**
Let's head back.
**[02:20] Sadeena**
Come on, you wake up too, Gaelion-chan.
**[02:23] Gaelion**
I fell asleep?
**[02:26] Sadeena**
Aw, time to get up!
**[02:29] Gaelion**
Yeah...
**[02:31] Sadeena**
Let's drink again sometime!

**[04:16] Elhart**
Looks like you're up to
something fun here, huh, kid?
**[04:29] Naofumi**
It might be best to put Gaelion's
blessing on all the villagers.
**[04:34] Raphtalia**
The more people who can use the Way
of the Dragon Vein, the better.
**[04:40] Elhart**
Hey there, kid!
**[04:43] Raphtalia**
Mister!
**[04:46] Elhart**
Hey, how ya doin', missy?
**[04:48] Raphtalia**
Good.
**[04:49] Naofumi**
What brings you here today?
**[04:52] Elhart**
What you asked for is done.
**[04:58] Elhart**
It was a lot of work,
but it should be pretty good.
**[05:02] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[05:03] Naofumi**
And sorry for making you
come all the way out here.
**[05:09] Raphtalia**
That?
***SIGN*** Byakko Miko Dress • Crude
**[05:17] Naofumi**
It doesn't seem that different
from what you're wearing now.
**[05:21] Elhart**
Sorry. It's the best I could do.
**[05:24] Naofumi**
No, you did great.
**[05:27] Kids**
What's up?
**[05:28] Kids**
Clothes for Raphtalia-oneechan?
**[05:30] Kids**
Let us see!
**[05:32] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, why don't you
try on your new outfit,
**[05:35] Naofumi**
since he brought it all the way here?
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, there's a look in your eyes...
**[05:52] Kids**
You're beautiful, Raphtalia-oneechan!
**[05:55] Raphtalia**
Am I?
**[05:57] Keel**
Wow, you look incredible, Raphtalia-chan!
**[06:00] Keel**
You look even cooler than usual!
**[06:02] Naofumi**
Seems like people like it.
**[06:04] Naofumi**
From now on, Raphtalia,
you're wearing this miko outfit!
**[06:07] Kids**
I want to wear one too!
**[06:10] Raphtalia**
Okay...
**[06:10] Kids**
I've never seen cloth like that!
**[06:13] Raphtalia**
I can't understand why it's
so important to you.
**[06:16] Kids**
I'm so jealous.
**[06:18] Atla**
It's not fair that Raphtalia-san
gets all the attention.
**[06:21] Naofumi**
So what are you going to do now?
**[06:23] Naofumi**
Go see Tolly?
**[06:26] Elhart**
Maybe I will check on him.
**[06:28] Naofumi**
Teach 'im some things.
**[06:30] Naofumi**
Feel free to stay the night if you like.
**[06:33] Elhart**
I'll think about it.
**[06:34] Elhart**
Bye.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
* And so Raphtalia got her*
* new miko outfit, and I...*
**[06:45] Naofumi**
* started helping Eclair with her paperwork*
* duties for the rest of the day.*
**[06:55] Naofumi**
* I don't know where Motoyasu*
* is or what he's doing.*
**[06:59] Naofumi**
*But Ren and Itsuki are here in the village.*
**[07:04] Naofumi**
*Two months.*
**[07:06] Naofumi**
* We need to make sure we're ready*
* for the battle with the Phoenix.*
**[07:14] Sadeena**
Naofumi-chan!
**[07:16] Sadeena**
We're back!
**[07:17] Keel**
Welcome back!
**[07:18] Sadeena**
I pulled in a big catch today!
**[07:20] Sadeena**
Whip up something special for dinner!
**[07:22] Naofumi**
Sure. I figure we can fry 'em with salt!
**[07:25] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan, welcome back!
**[07:27] Naofumi**
I'm back, Raphtalia-chan...
**[07:30] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan?
**[07:32] Sadeena**
Raphtalia-chan, take this off, now!
**[07:34] Naofumi**
What are you doing?
**[07:35] Naofumi**
Are you drunk already?
**[07:36] Sadeena**
And what do you think you're doing?
**[07:37] Sadeena**
I said that you'd better act
real careful, didn't I?
**[07:40] Sadeena**
Now take this off! Now!
**[07:42] Naofumi**
S-Sadeena!
**[07:44] Ren**
Naofumi, is everything okay?
**[07:45] Naofumi**
Yeah...
**[07:46] Naofumi**
Just calm down and explain, okay?
**[07:49] Sadeena**
First, make her take this off.
**[07:51] Sadeena**
Fine. Raphtalia, go change.
**[07:56] Raphtalia**
Okay.
**[07:58] Kids**
What? You're changing?
**[08:00] Kids**
That's no fun.
**[08:01] Kids**
Why?
**[08:03] Naofumi**
What's gotten into you?
**[08:06] Sadeena**
Wearing *that* outfit means she's declaring
herself in line for the throne in *that* country.
**[08:14] Naofumi**
Hey!
**[08:21] Sadeena**
I'm too late!
**[08:23] Sadeena**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[08:24] Sadeena**
Decipher the laws of nature...
**[08:29] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[08:33] Naofumi**
A kunai?
**[08:38] Ren**
An enemy attack?
**[08:38] Naofumi**
Damn it! And at a time when Eclair
and the old lady aren't around?
**[08:41] Monkey**
Prepare to die!
**[08:42] Sadeena**
Lightning, pierce those before me!
**[08:45] Sadeena**
All Drifa Chain Lightning!
**[08:50] Sadeena**
Are you okay?
**[08:51] Raphtalia**
Sadeena-neesan!
**[08:53] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama, let's fight back!
**[08:55] Itsuki**
All right.
**[08:56] Raphtalia**
She's badly wounded.
**[08:58] Sadeena**
Rishia-chan!
**[08:59] Rishia**
Okay!
**[09:00] Elhart**
What's going on?
**[09:02] Atla**
What's happening?
**[09:03] Elhart**
I've got no clue—
**[09:05] Fox**
We have witnessed your declaration!
**[09:08] Fox**
We shall do all in our power to
stop you from taking the throne!
**[09:13] Naofumi**
Who are these people?
**[09:14] Naofumi**
What do they mean by "throne"?
**[09:17] Sadeena**
Naofumi-chan, we need to
defeat these enemies first!
**[09:21] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[09:24] Naofumi**
What?
**[09:26] Ren**
Hundred Swords!
**[09:29] Itsuki**
Arrow Rain!
**[09:39] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[09:43] Naofumi**
Now!
**[09:44] Raphtalia**
Brave Blade: Mist!
**[09:49] Raphtalia**
He's tough!
**[09:54] Naofumi**
It worked?!
**[10:04] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[10:08] Naofumi**
They're only immune to
the heroes' attacks!?
**[10:11] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[10:14] Naofumi**
I don't know if this'll work,
but we don't have a choice!
**[10:17] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[10:18] Raphtalia**
Power of two, lend your strength to
confuse the enemy with an illusion!
**[10:22] Raphtalia**
Re-spin the threads of fate,
and turn our defeat into a victory!
**[10:28] Raphtalia**
Dragon Vein, hear our plea!
**[10:32] Raphtalia & Naofumi**
As source of thy power, I implore you...
**[10:35] Raphtalia & Naofumi**
Decipher the laws of nature and create
an illusion to deceive my foes!
**[10:41] Raphtalia & Naofumi**
Form is emptiness!
**[10:55] Ren**
What's going on?
**[10:57] Naofumi**
We did Choral magic.
**[10:59] Naofumi**
It'll make them confused for a little while.
**[11:02] Ren**
They seem really resistant
to any hero's attacks.
**[11:05] Itsuki**
We'll just have to use our big
moves to overwhelm their defenses.
**[11:08] Naofumi**
That's right.
**[11:10] Ren**
I guess we don't have a choice.
**[11:11] Ren**
Here I go!
**[11:12] Ren**
Meteor Slash!
**[11:14] Itsuki**
Eagle Piercing Shot!
**[11:17] Raphtalia**
Eight Trigrams Blade of Destiny!
**[11:34] Shachi**
Glory to the Heavenly Emperor!
**[11:38] Sadeena**
Run, everyone!
**[11:43] Eclair**
Is that...
**[11:54] Naofumi**
There's something you haven't
told me yet, isn't there?
**[11:58] Sadeena**
They... Those assassins that attacked
us... were from Q'ten Lo.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
Q'ten Lo?
**[12:16] Atla**
Here!
**[12:17] Keel**
Okay!
**[12:19] Sadeena**
Raphtalia-chan was actually born into
the royal family of Q'ten Lo,
**[12:25] Sadeena**
an island nation far to the east.
**[12:27] Sadeena**
She's a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor.
**[12:34] Naofumi**
And what's that got to
do with her miko outfit?
**[12:38] Sadeena**
The outfit you call a
"miko outfit" is something
**[12:42] Sadeena**
that only the Heavenly
Empress is allowed to wear.
**[12:47] Elhart**
This is...
**[12:48] Sadeena**
So when Raphtalia-chan,
who is royalty, wears it,
**[12:53] Sadeena**
it's like she's declaring herself empress.
**[12:57] Sadeena**
Q'ten Lo already has an emperor.
**[13:00] Sadeena**
So this is the equivalent
of a declaration of war.
**[13:03] Sadeena**
They'll be sending more assassins.
**[13:07] Raphtalia**
That's horrible.
**[13:08] Naofumi**
Raphtalia's parents died during
the first Wave, in this village.
**[13:14] Naofumi**
Why would descendants of an
emperor be in Lurolona Village?
**[13:19] Sadeena**
Because of a war over who
would be the next emperor.
**[13:23] Sadeena**
Her father got tired of the endless struggles
**[13:25] Sadeena**
in the royal family over who would be heir.
**[13:28] Sadeena**
He fled with his wife here to Melromarc.
**[13:33] Sadeena**
My family has served as bodyguards for
the royal family for generations.
**[13:37] Sadeena**
But I decided to abandon my mission and
follow them so I could protect them.
**[13:45] Sadeena**
After Raphtalia-chan was born,
I was always with her.
**[13:51] Sadeena**
But...
**[13:52] Sadeena**
On that day, when the first Wave hit,
**[13:56] Sadeena**
I was far out at sea fishing,
**[13:58] Sadeena**
and was attacked by the Wave's monsters.
**[14:01] Sadeena**
I couldn't protect the three of them.
**[14:05] Sadeena**
When I finally made it back,
**[14:08] Sadeena**
the slavers had already come and gone.
**[14:12] Sadeena**
I'd sworn to protect the
family with my life, but...
**[14:24] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, do you want to
be the Heavenly Empress?
**[14:28] Raphtalia**
No!
**[14:30] Eclair**
The fire's out.
**[14:32] Raphtalia**
How is that child doing?
**[14:35] Eclair**
Not out of the woods yet.
**[14:44] Eclair**
I see. It was Q'ten Lo...
**[14:47] Naofumi**
They picked a fight with us
for a very stupid reason.
**[14:50] Eclair**
No, it's common for something
to look stupid to one country
**[14:54] Eclair**
and be a matter of survival to another.
**[14:58] Naofumi**
Sadeena, there were times
when you were acting like
**[15:00] Naofumi**
there might be someone on the
outskirts of the village.
**[15:03] Naofumi**
Were you watching for them?
**[15:05] Sadeena**
Yes.
**[15:06] Naofumi**
How long have they been watching her?
**[15:11] Sadeena**
Since before she was even born.
**[15:16] Naofumi**
So when the first Wave hit
and the slavers came,
**[15:22] Naofumi**
when she was being mistreated as a slave...
**[15:24] Naofumi**
When she became my slave and
almost died again and again...
**[15:28] Naofumi**
They did nothing!
**[15:30] Eclair**
From their perspective,
they'd be better off if she died.
**[15:36] Eclair**
As much as it infuriates me to say it.
**[15:38] Naofumi**
I bet you're right.
**[15:39] Naofumi**
But if they'd been watching
her that closely,
**[15:41] Naofumi**
they'd know she didn't know
about her royal blood,
**[15:44] Naofumi**
or that she had no intention
of taking the throne.
**[15:49] Naofumi**
They intend to use her wearing that miko
outfit as an excuse to finally kill her.
**[15:55] Naofumi**
Just so they can make sure there's no
threat to the current emperor's rule.
**[16:00] Naofumi**
They sent assassins without
even sending messengers first.
**[16:04] Naofumi**
There's no need for international formalities
when it's just a tiny territory of Melromarc's.
**[16:09] Eclair**
They probably figured it
wouldn't result in a war.
**[16:14] Naofumi**
And I'm gonna make sure they
realize they're damn wrong!
**[16:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[16:21] Naofumi**
They came after Raphtalia.
**[16:24] Naofumi**
They badly injured one of my citizens.
**[16:26] Naofumi**
They violated the territory
of the Shield Hero!
**[16:30] Ren**
It's a clear declaration of war
against one of the Cardinal Heroes.
**[16:33] Ren**
But Naofumi, what are you going to do?
**[16:37] Naofumi**
We can't get ready for the Phoenix if we're
constantly watching our backs for assassins.
**[16:43] Sadeena**
Naofumi-chan, don't tell me...
**[16:47] Naofumi**
We'll go and have a talk with them.
**[16:50] Naofumi**
And if that doesn't work,
I'll crush Q'ten Lo into submission!
**[17:11] Fohl**
Atla, we don't have to do this here.
**[17:15] Atla**
We must always keep up our training regimen.
**[17:21] Atla**
Hello.
**[17:27] Mirelia**
Please leave preparations for the
battle with the Phoenix to us
**[17:31] Mirelia**
while you and your party
are visiting Q'ten Lo.
**[17:35] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[17:36] Mirelia**
I'll send knights to Lurolona
Village to protect it.
**[17:41] Naofumi**
You're being awfully helpful here.
**[17:45] Mirelia**
You've completed your great task and
brought the four heroes together.
**[17:51] Mirelia**
We must be prepared to do
anything we can to reward you.
**[17:54] Naofumi**
I'd also like to know the
fastest route to Q'ten Lo.
**[17:57] Naofumi**
I want to waste as little time as possible.
**[18:00] Mirelia**
As the knight, Eclair, says,
**[18:02] Mirelia**
they've isolated themselves,
and we have no relations with them.
**[18:08] Mirelia**
But I'm told there's a regular ferry that
goes to Q'ten Lo that leaves from Siltvelt.
**[18:13] Mirelia**
I'll see if I can arrange something.
**[18:16] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[18:18] Naofumi**
Siltvelt...
**[18:19] Naofumi**
That's where Fohl and Atla are from.
**[18:23] Mirelia**
Are those two doing well?
**[18:25] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[18:26] Naofumi**
They're here today.
**[18:27] Naofumi**
They insist on following me
everywhere I go these days.
**[18:31] Mirelia**
I see.
**[18:33] Mirelia**
Then they'll be going to Siltvelt, too.
**[18:36] Fohl**
Hey, old guy.
**[18:39] Fohl**
Don't you have anything better to do today?
**[18:40] Minister**
Watch your mouth!
**[18:43] Minister**
This man is...
**[18:44] King**
Enough.
**[18:44] King**
Be silent.
**[18:45] Minister**
Yes, sir.
**[18:49] King**
Are you feeling all right?
**[18:52] King**
Are you eating?
**[18:53] Atla**
Yes. Thank you for asking.
**[18:56] Fohl**
Atla eats enough for two!
**[19:00] Atla**
Yes. I'm full of energy.
**[19:02] King**
I see...
**[19:04] King**
The Shield Demon hasn't hurt you, right?
**[19:08] Atla**
"Demon"? Don't say something so sad, please.
**[19:14] Atla**
Naofumi-sama saved my life.
**[19:19] Fohl**
Atla would've died in a slave's cell in
Zeltoble if the Shield Hero hadn't helped her.
**[19:26] Fohl**
She was so sick that she was
never even able to walk.
**[19:31] Fohl**
But now...
**[19:36] Atla**
Naofumi-sama!
**[19:40] King**
Farewell.
**[19:41] Atla**
U-Um, will we see you again?
**[19:46] King**
Yes.
**[19:48] King**
At some point.
**[19:56] Naofumi**
*And so I left Queen Mirelia in charge,*
**[19:57] Atla**
Welcome back, Naofumi-sama.
**[20:01] Naofumi**
*and headed for Q'ten Lo.*
**[20:04] Naofumi**
First, we'll head to Siltvelt,
where the ferry departs.
**[20:08] Naofumi**
I'll go with Wyndia and Gaelion
and fly straight there.
**[20:12] Naofumi**
Then I'll use a portal to
summon the rest of you.
**[20:15] Atla**
Be careful, please.
**[20:17] Raphtalia**
Wyndia-san, Gaelion... take care of him.
**[20:22] Wyndia**
Leave it to me!
**[20:23] Naofumi**
I'll be back before long.
**[20:34] Naofumi**
* There are less than two months*
* before the Phoenix revives.*
**[20:39] Naofumi**
*Maybe I don't have time for this.*
**[20:43] Naofumi**
*But...*
**[20:45] Naofumi**
*This is a battle I have to fight.*
**[20:47] Naofumi**
*This will decide Raphtalia's fate!*
**[20:59] Melty**
Wait, Filo-chan!
**[21:01] Melty**
You're too fast!
**[21:06] Filo**
Here we go!
**[21:07] Filo**
Just you wait, Master!
**[21:10] Filo**
I'll come back even stronger!
**[21:13] Melty**
W-Wait!
**[21:15] Filo**
Off we go!
**[21:17] Naofumi**
* Maybe I've got no right to interfere*
* with any of their fates.*
**[21:22] Naofumi**
* But right now, they're*
* my precious comrades...*
**[21:26] Naofumi**
*And for the sake of my comrades,*
**[21:27] Naofumi**
* I'll fight the Waves, the Guardian Beasts,*
* or anything else I have to!*
**[21:37] Motoyasu**
Father! For the sake of my beloved Filo-tan,
**[21:40] Motoyasu**
I am always ready to fight by your side!
**[21:45] Naofumi**
*Even if I have to fight an entire country!*
**[21:56] Naofumi**
* Because that's the path that I,*
* the Shield Hero, must follow!*
