SIGN    The Rising of the Shield Hero
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

    Melty-sama appears to have made contact
    with the Shield Hero's party.
[21:13] Mirelia

[21:22] Mirelia

[21:25] Woman

[21:29] Woman
    As you wish.
[21:38] Mirelia
