[00:03] Priest
    The time is upon us.
[00:08] Priest
    Our long-held wish shall be fulfilled.
[00:25] Raphtalia
    Thank you for bringing us this far, Fitoria-san.
[00:30] Melromarc
    And for the new wagon.
[00:32] Raphtalia
    Filo really loves pulling one.
[00:45] Filo
    It's mine now, okay?
[00:49] Naofumi
    No, it's not.
[00:52] Naofumi
    Fitoria...
[00:54] Naofumi
    Is another hero nearby?
[00:57] Fitoria
    Yeah. I sense one.
[01:00] Naofumi
    I see.
[01:01] Fitoria
    Shield Hero...
[01:04] Fitoria
    Take care of her.
[01:07] Fitoria
    And keep your promise.
[01:11] Naofumi
    Yeah, I'll do what I can.

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