**[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**
