**[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?

The countdown...
**[03:38] Raphtalia**
What's wrong?
**[03:40] Naofumi**
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.

**[13:27] Naofumi**
You want Itsuki's respect that badly?
**[13:31] Rishia**
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.
