**[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!*
