[00:06] L'arc
    My name is L'Arc Berg.
[00:08] L'arc
    Call me L'Arc.
[00:10] L'arc
    And this here is Therese.
[00:13] Therese
    I'm Therese Alexanderite.
[00:15] Naofumi
    Nice to meet you.
[00:17] Raphtalia
    Um, is that lady from a foreign country?
[00:21] Raphtalia
    I couldn't understand her.
[00:25] L'arc
    Therese...
[00:32] Therese
    My apologies. Do you understand me now?
[00:35] Raphtalia
    Yes.
[00:35] Naofumi
    Oh, right. I forgot that my
    shield translates for me.
[00:40] Therese
    Allow me to introduce myself again.
     I'm Therese Alexanderite.
[00:43] Raphtalia
    I'm Raphtalia.
[00:45] Filo
    My name is Filo!
[00:48] L'arc
    Nice to meetcha.
[00:49] L'arc
    And you?
[00:51] Naofumi
    Naofumi.
[00:53] Naofumi
    Iwatani Naofumi.
[00:55] L'arc
    "Naofumi"?
[01:00] L'arc
    Dude, if you're gonna use an alias,
    at least don't pick the Shield Hero's name!
SIGN    The Rising of the Shield Hero
SIGN    Cal Mira Archipelago
[02:37] Naofumi
    I am the Shield Hero, though.
[02:42] L'arc
    You? The Shield Hero?
[02:44] Therese
    You're laughing too much, L'Arc.
[02:46] Therese
    But I agree that you should
    use a different alias.
[02:50] Raphtalia
    Huh? Uh...
[02:51] L'arc
    You see, the Shield Hero
    is one evil scumbag.
[02:56] L'arc
    He indulges in scams,
    blackmail, and kidnapping.
[02:58] L'arc
    He even has friends in high places who
    execute whoever ends up on his bad side.
[03:02] L'arc
    He's a devil in human clothing.
[03:05] Naofumi
    Not too far from the mark, I guess.
[03:07] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama!
[03:09] L'arc
    I know we've only just met, but I can tell.
[03:11] L'arc
    You're nothing like that scumbag, kiddo.
[03:17] L'arc
    Well, it's fine if you wanna hide your name.
[03:21] L'arc
    Nice to meetcha, Shield Kiddo.
[03:23] Therese
    Are you all headed for
    Cal Mira to level up, too?
[03:27] Raphtalia
    Yes.
[03:28] Filo
    That's right.
[03:29] L'arc
    Oh? Wanna team up, then?
[03:32] L'arc
    A bigger party would make
    things more efficient.
[03:34] Naofumi
    Team up with you two?
[03:37] Man
    Excuse me!
[03:40] Naofumi
    The four of us are to greet them together?
[03:43] Man
    Yeah.
[03:44] Man
    It'd really pump up the crew to have
    the legendary heroes speak to them.
[03:50] Naofumi
    Well, whatever.
[03:52] Naofumi
    While I'm at it,
SIGN    Weapon Copy skill unlocked
[03:53] Naofumi
    I'll let the others know that if you believe in the
    systems the others tell you about, you can use them.
[04:02] Itsuki
    How are you okay, Naofumi-san?
[04:06] Ren
    That overpowered shield again?
[04:10] Naofumi
    You got what you deserved for
    occupying all the private cabins.
[04:13] Naofumi
    Forget that, listen to this.
[04:15] Naofumi
    It's about item refining and all that
    stuff you guys mentioned in that meeting.
[04:19] Motoyasu
    Stop it.
[04:21] Motoyasu
    I don't wanna listen to
    complicated stuff right now.
[04:24] Naofumi
    This is important!
[04:26] Naofumi
    If you believe those systems exist...
[04:28] Itsuki
    Please don't be so loud.
    You're making me nauseous.
[04:32] Naofumi
    If you believe in those systems...
[04:49] Filo
    Master, we're having
    grilled fish for dinner!
[04:54] Naofumi
    She can swim?
[04:56] Itsuki
    That's your first response?
[04:59] Raphtalia
    This fish stench...
[05:02] L'arc
    Hey, Shield Kiddo.
[05:04] L'arc
    Huh? What's with them?
[05:06] Naofumi
    You need something?
[05:08] L'arc
    I don't, but Therese does.
[05:10] Therese
    Raphtalia-san told me you're
    quite skilled at jewel crafting.
[05:15] Therese
    Would you make me an accessory?
[05:17] Naofumi
    Well, that came out of nowhere.
[05:19] Naofumi
    I don't mind, but I'll need the materials.
[05:21] Therese
    You can use anything in here.
[05:24] Therese
    Of course, I'll also pay you.
[05:30] Naofumi
    This is pretty damn good.
    I could certainly use it.
[05:33] Therese
    Well?
[05:34] Naofumi
    I can only work on it when I'm not grinding levels,
     so it'll take a while.
[05:38] Naofumi
    If that's okay with you, sure.
[05:39] Therese
    Please do!
[05:41] L'arc
    Good for you, Therese.
[05:43] Therese
    Yeah!
[05:45] L'arc
    I'm counting on ya, Shield Kiddo.
[05:48] L'arc
    Oh, the sea's getting rougher.
[05:51] L'arc
    Looks like a storm's brewing.
[05:53] Naofumi
    Really?
[05:54] L'arc
    Yeah. The crew are saying
    we're in for a hard night.
[06:07] Raphtalia
    So this is Cal Mira!
[06:09] Filo
    It's hot here! The sun's blazing!
[06:12] Raphtalia
    Yeah, it's like last night's
    storm never happened!
[06:15] Naofumi
    Uh, it was a really bumpy ride.
[06:17] Naofumi
    How come she didn't get seasick when
    she gets so sick in the wagon?
[06:21] Motoyasu
    Th-This isn't what it looks like,
    Filo-tan. There's a reason...
[06:24] Naofumi
    Well, they definitely had a rough time.
[06:26] Habenburg
    Welcome.
[06:29] Habenburg
    My name is Habenburg,
    and I govern the Cal Mira Archipelago.
[06:34] Habenburg
    I'm here to take you
    Four Cardinal Heroes to your inn.
[06:38] Ren
    U-Ugh... I feel sick.
[06:39] Habenburg
    Or, well, that was the plan,
[06:41] Habenburg
    but I suppose I'll have to take
    just you there first, Shield Hero.
[06:46] Naofumi
    The Cal Mira Archipelago is a group
    of small islands bunched together.
[06:50] Naofumi
    It's a popular tourist destination,
[06:52] Naofumi
    partly due to a legend that the
    heroes of the past trained here.
[06:57] Naofumi
    That smells like bullshit to me, honestly.
[07:00] Naofumi
    And since the activation has brought
    adventurers here in great numbers,
[07:04] Naofumi
    certain ground rules have
    been put in place.
[07:07] Naofumi
    "It's okay to travel
    between islands by boat.
[07:10] Naofumi
    Try to kill as many monsters as possible.
[07:13] Naofumi
    Avoid barging into other adventurers'
    battles to steal their prey."
[07:18] Naofumi
    What is this, a guide to MMO etiquette?
[07:20] Filo
    MMO?
[07:21] Naofumi
    Don't worry about it.
[07:23] Naofumi
    Anyway...
[07:25] Naofumi
    This is a statue of the original
    inhabitants who developed these islands?
[07:28] Raphtalia
    And there's apparently an epigraph
    left by a Cardinal Hero.
[07:32] Filo
    Is this it?
[07:34] Naofumi
    It's magical writing.
[07:36] Naofumi
    As source of thy power,
    the Shield Hero orders thee.
[07:39] Naofumi
    Decipher this message
[07:41] Naofumi
    and energize my target.
[07:44] Naofumi
    Zweit Aura.
[07:47] Filo
    Oh, I feel more powerful now.
[07:57] Filo
    Nailed it!
[07:58] Naofumi
    A hero of the past left this here, huh?
[08:01] Naofumi
    So the legend was true.
[08:03] L'arc
    Hey, Shield Kiddo!
[08:06] L'arc
    Filo sure got some height on that.
[08:09] L'arc
    It helped us find you guys.
[08:12] L'arc
    But man, why'd you get off the boat
    without saying goodbye? That's so cold.
[08:16] Naofumi
    Why should I have to?
[08:18] L'arc
    Hey, company can make or break a trip.
[08:21] L'arc
    Besides, you never said if
    you'd level up with us or not.
[08:24] Therese
    We both just got here,
[08:27] Therese
    so it will have to wait until
    we get our bearings, but yeah.
[08:31] Naofumi
    I guess it can't hurt. They seem
    accustomed to battle, too.
[08:35] Naofumi
    I don't mind, but we'll cut
    you off if you hold us back.
[08:40] L'arc
    Right back at ya.
[08:42] L'arc
    Do your best until we party up.
[08:46] Raphtalia
    I'm a little surprised.
[08:49] Raphtalia
    I was sure you found L'Arc-san
    hard to deal with.
[08:52] Naofumi
    It's not that. He just throws me off.
[08:57] Naofumi
    It's afternoon already.
[08:59] Naofumi
    We don't have much time,
    but let's go grind some levels.
[09:02] Filo
    'Kay!
[09:02] Raphtalia
    Right!
[09:12] Naofumi
    Even trash mobs you can
    one-shot give this much XP?
[09:15] Naofumi
    What's more, they spawn endlessly.
[09:26] Raphtalia
    They're so weak, it's hard
    to work up much enthusiasm.
[09:31] Raphtalia
    Is something wrong?
[09:32] Naofumi
    We suddenly stopped gaining XP.
[09:37] Itsuki
    So it was you.
[09:41] Naofumi
    Itsuki...
[09:42] Motoyasu
    Huh? What happened to my XP?
[09:45] Myne
    Ugh...
[09:46] Ren
    Why are you guys here?
[09:48] Ren
    I can't farm any XP like this.
[09:51] Ren
    Go somewhere else.
[09:53] Motoyasu
    Huh? You go.
[09:55] Itsuki
    You too, Motoyasu-san.
[09:57] Itsuki
    I found this spot first.
[10:00] Motoyasu
    I did!
[10:01] Ren
    No, me.
[10:02] Itsuki
    I did.
[10:03] Naofumi
    This is stupid. We're outta here.
[10:03] Motoyasu
    No, I did!
[10:05] Itsuki
    Are you a child?
[10:05] Motoyasu
    A child? I'm twenty-one!
[10:06] Ren
    I did.
[10:18] Filo
    You're going down!
[10:26] Naofumi
    That's a lot of XP, even if it was a boss.
[10:29] Filo
    Fighting here is fun!
    I like this island better!
[10:34] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama...
[10:36] Raphtalia
    I'm not sure this sword
    will last much longer.
[10:38] Naofumi
    When did it get so bad?
[10:40] Raphtalia
    Perhaps our power levels have
    outgrown our weapons' durability.
[10:44] Naofumi
    Filo's, too?
[10:47] Naofumi
    We'll have to go buy some new weapons
    from the boss before the next Wave.
[10:51] Raphtalia
    The Wave...
[10:53] Naofumi
    Well, we probably have time.
[10:56] Naofumi
    Now, let's see if we got any good drops.
SIGN    Monster
SIGN    Karma Dog
[11:11] Naofumi
    Those should keep you going for a while.
[11:14] Raphtalia
    Thank you.
[11:16] Filo
    Thanks, Master.
[11:18] Raphtalia
    It's getting dark.
[11:21] Raphtalia
    Shall we head back?
[11:22] Naofumi
    Nah. Let's keep at it for a while longer.
[11:29] Naofumi
    I knew we'd get better drops at night.
[11:33] Naofumi
    The enemies are stronger, though.
[11:35] Raphtalia
    We're used to fighting in the dark,
    so we'll be fine considering the level gap.
[11:40] Raphtalia
    What I'm more worried about is...
[11:42] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama, you're tired, aren't you?
[11:47] Naofumi
    I'm amazed you noticed.
[11:49] Naofumi
    The curse from when I used
    Blood Sacrifice is still bothering me.
[11:52] Naofumi
    Just a little.
[11:54] Naofumi
    Don't look so worried.
[11:56] Naofumi
    I'm not forcing anything, and I can
    handle the enemies on this island fine.
[12:10] L'arc
    Found ya, kiddo.
[12:13] Raphtalia
    Why are you two here?
[12:16] Therese
    Your ferryman was freaking out,
    saying you weren't coming back.
[12:20] Naofumi
    So you came looking for us?
[12:22] Naofumi
    Adventurers dying on quests
    shouldn't be anything new.
[12:26] Raphtalia
    That doesn't mean we can ignore you.
[12:28] Raphtalia
    I couldn't sleep at night if
    my acquaintances were found dead.
[12:31] Naofumi
    "Acquaintances"?
[12:33] Raphtalia
    Aren't we?
[12:34] Raphtalia
    You're not gonna say we aren't, right?
[12:37] Naofumi
    Well...
[12:38] Therese
    We just got here today.
[12:41] Therese
    I can understand wanting to grind more,
     but why not call it a day?
[12:45] Raphtalia
    I agree with Therese-san.
[12:48] Naofumi
    Raphtalia...
[12:50] Naofumi
    Fine. Let's head back.
[12:52] L'arc
    That's that.
[12:53] L'arc
    Then...
[12:55] L'arc
    Join me for a drink.
[13:04] L'arc
    To our safe return!
[13:06] L'arc
    Cheers!
[13:11] L'arc
    Refill, pops!
[13:13] Barkeep
    Coming!
[14:13] Myne
    Motoyasu-sama!
[14:16] Naofumi
    I didn't know wine's made from these.
[14:18] L'arc
    They're so strong, you have to dilute one in
     a cask of water to get something drinkable.
[14:23] Naofumi
    It's pretty tasty eaten as-is.
[14:25] L'arc
    You go way beyond being
    able to hold your drink.
[14:35] Naofumi
    I never thought the day would come when
    I could drink and have fun like this.
[14:40] Therese
    I'm glad to be fighting alongside you today.
[14:42] Raphtalia
    Likewise.
[14:43] Naofumi
    Here's the accessory you
    asked me to make, Therese.
[14:48] Therese
    Thank you!
[14:50] Naofumi
    I can't believe you had a starfire.
    Those things are rare.
[14:54] Naofumi
    And then I used an oracle
    crystal I got as the base...
[15:03] Therese
    The jewel...
[15:05] Therese
    It's filled with joy.
[15:08] Therese
    I had no idea you were
    such a master craftsman.
[15:11] L'arc
    D-Do you have to cry about it?
[15:13] Therese
    Don't you get it, L'Arc?
[15:15] Therese
    This masterpiece is like a whole new world
    opening up to me!
[15:18] L'arc
    I-I see.
[15:20] Naofumi
    Well, I'm glad you like it.
[15:24] Naofumi
    Also, about the payment.
[15:29] Naofumi
    Hey, this is...
[15:31] Therese
    It's not nearly enough, right? I know!
[15:35] Therese
    L'Arc, give him all the money you have, too!
[15:38] L'arc
    Huh?
[15:38] Therese
    Look, just do it!
[15:41] Naofumi
    You can pay me in installments.
[15:43] Naofumi
    Let's go grind some levels.
[15:47] L'arc
    Your party is pretty high-level, kiddo.
[15:50] L'arc
    Therese is 52, and I'm 56.
[15:53] Naofumi
    They already got their class upgrades.
[15:55] Naofumi
    Not your everyday adventurers, then.
[16:01] Naofumi
    I'd like to discuss our strategy.
[16:07] L'arc
    We can do that as we fight!
[16:13] L'arc
    The shield is your weapon, eh?
[16:14] L'arc
    You're really committed
    to the act, "Sir Hero."
[16:16] Naofumi
    Keep talking.
[16:17] Naofumi
    Raphtalia, Filo...
[16:26] Therese
    Jeez, that L'Arc... He's having fun.
[16:29] Therese
    I beseech thee,
    power of jewels far and wide.
[16:32] Therese
    Heed my call and come to me.
[16:35] Therese
    My name is Therese Alexanderite.
[16:37] Therese
    My friends, be the force
    that destroys my targets!
[16:42] Therese
    Bejeweled Ruby Blaze!
[16:50] Raphtalia
    I've never heard a chant like that before.
[16:53] Naofumi
    Raphtalia!
[16:53] Raphtalia
    C-Coming!
[16:58] Therese
    I never even dreamed it'd be so powerful.
[17:09] Naofumi
    The XP curve got much worse past Level 70.
[17:13] L'arc
    Let's go after that big fella, then.
[17:18] L'arc
    Just the boss wouldn't be a big deal,
    but all these tiny ones will be a pain.
[17:22] Naofumi
    Leave those to me.
    I'll gather them in one place.
[17:26] L'arc
    Oh?
[17:26] Therese
    I'll take them out once he does.
[17:28] Therese
    L'Arc and Raphtalia-san can attack the boss.
[17:31] Raphtalia
    Got it.
[17:33] Naofumi
    Ready?
[17:34] Naofumi
    Let's go!
[17:37] Naofumi
    Hate Reaction!
[17:45] Naofumi
    Therese!
[17:46] Therese
    I beseech thee,
    power of jewels far and wide.
[17:49] Therese
    Heed my call and come to me.
[17:52] Therese
    Bejeweled Ruby Blaze!
[18:02] Filo
    Master!
[18:04] L'arc
    Relax.
[18:09] Naofumi
    I'm within the flames,
    but I don't feel hot at all.
[18:17] Naofumi
    Not only am I not taking damage,
[18:19] Naofumi
    it feels like the weight of the curse
    has been lifted from my body.
[18:23] Naofumi
    Just this one left!
[18:25] Raphtalia
    Right!
[18:25] L'arc
    We got this!
[18:30] Filo
    Are you okay, Master?
[18:32] Naofumi
    Yeah. That was one strange magic spell.
[18:35] Naofumi
    Even my clothes didn't get singed.
[18:37] Raphtalia
    And I'd never heard the
    chant before, either.
[18:40] Naofumi
    I guess there are all sorts
    of magic in this world.
[18:44] Naofumi
    Hey, let's split the drops.
[18:47] L'arc
    Sure. What'd we get?
[18:49] Naofumi
    Some weird item.
[18:52] L'arc
    "Weird"?
[18:53] Naofumi
    See for yourself.
[18:55] L'arc
    The heck is this?
[18:58] Raphtalia
    Thanks to you two, we gained a
    lot of levels in just one day.
[19:01] Filo
    I had fun!
[19:03] Therese
    As did we.
[19:05] Naofumi
    Wanna team up again tomorrow, then?
[19:09] L'arc
    We'll take it as it comes from here.
[19:11] Naofumi
    Oh...
[19:12] L'arc
    See ya, Shield Kiddo.
[19:14] Therese
    Thanks for today.
[19:16] Raphtalia
    Thank you, too.
[19:18] Filo
    Later!
[19:20] Raphtalia
    I didn't expect you to ask them.
[19:22] Raphtalia
    You never do that.
[19:23] Naofumi
    I got rejected, though.
[19:25] Naofumi
    Maybe I'll ask them to join my party
    after we finish leveling up.
[19:30] Naofumi
    Today was hard work, so shall
    we take the day off tomorrow?
[19:33] Filo
    Yay!
[19:34] Raphtalia
    I don't mind either way,
[19:37] Raphtalia
    but you do need a break.
[19:44] Filo
    Master!
[19:46] Filo
    I found an island.
[19:48] Naofumi
    Big deal. There are islands everywhere here.
[19:50] Filo
    No, no.
[19:52] Filo
    I found another island with
    a red glow on the sea floor.
[19:55] Naofumi
    An island... on the sea floor?
[19:57] Filo
    There was this big brick building, too!
[20:01] Naofumi
    We've hit a wall with leveling up,
[20:04] Naofumi
    so it might be a nice change of pace.
[20:09] Raphtalia
    Um, Naofumi-sama...
[20:15] Raphtalia
    How do I look?
[20:17] Naofumi
    If she's dressed like that, she'll be
    fine even if water leaks into the suit.
[20:22] Naofumi
    Perfect!
[20:25] Naofumi
    Let's go, Raphtalia!
[20:26] Raphtalia
    Yeah!
[20:39] Naofumi
    Wow. I can breathe even after
    ten minutes underwater.
[20:45] Naofumi
    It's almost completely intact,
    but I don't see a way in.
[20:53] Naofumi
    Opening this door underwater
    will be impossible.
[21:02] Naofumi
    There's air inside?
[21:13] Filo
    It's too dark to see.
[21:16] Naofumi
    Raphtalia.
[21:17] Raphtalia
    Got it.
[21:18] Raphtalia
    First Light.
[21:29] Naofumi
    There's a dragon hourglass here? No way!
[21:32] Raphtalia
    But it does look the same as the one
    at the cathedral back in the capital.
[21:37] Filo
    Master?
[21:38] Naofumi
    Any place with an hourglass
    can be attacked by a Wave.
[21:42] Raphtalia
    If a Wave attacks this place,
    the islanders will all die!
[21:45] Naofumi
    Calm down. We don't know for sure yet.
[21:48] Raphtalia
    Right...
[21:57] Naofumi
    The next Wave is coming...
[22:00] Naofumi
    in two days?!
