[00:03] Man
The rescue operations will finish shortly.
[00:06] Mirelia
You all did very well.
[00:11] Mirelia
But the Wave shows no signs of receding.
[00:14] Mirelia
Does that mean it won't end
until they are defeated?
[00:19] Mirelia
And the fighting is so intense...
We have to leave it all to Iwatani-sama.
[00:27] Naofumi
She thinks only the Wrath Shield
can hurt her, huh?
[00:32] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama!
[00:38] Naofumi
The Soul Eater Shield.
[00:41] Naofumi
It drains the enemy's SP.
[00:43] Naofumi
But what was that reaction? I've never
seen Glass hesitate like that before.
[00:46] Therese
So I pray,
[00:47] Therese
may your sacrifice carve
open a path to our future!
[00:51] Therese
Bejeweled...
[00:51] Naofumi
Meteor Shield!
[00:52] Therese
...Compressor Bomb!
[00:56] Melromarc
Is this really magic?
[00:57] Naofumi
Yeah. Looks like it's powered by her jewels.
[01:01] Naofumi
The attack that blew away
Motoyasu and the others last time!
[01:03] Therese
I beseech thee,
power of jewels far and wide.
[01:06] Therese
Heed my call and come to me.
[01:08] Therese
My name is Therese Alexanderite.
[01:09] Naofumi
Crap! They can use combo skills, too?
[01:13] Therese
My friends, summon a freezing
storm that destroys my targets!
[01:17] Naofumi
Shield Prison!
[01:21] Therese
Bejeweled Blizzard!
[01:22] Glass
Combo-Stance: Reverse Hail Seasons!
[01:33] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama!
[01:34] Melromarc
You okay, Naofumi?
[01:36] Naofumi
Yeah, somehow.
[01:39] Glass
Not even that combo move could put you down?
[01:42] Glass
It seems that everything I knew
about you is useless now.
[01:49] Naofumi
Good thing we leveled up at Cal Mira, huh?
[01:53] Raphtalia
Yeah!
[01:54] Naofumi
But that's not all.
[01:57] Naofumi
Glass's reaction to the
Soul Eater Shield bothers me.
[02:01] Naofumi
Could it be...?
[02:03] Naofumi
Listen up. Let me take Glass alone.
[02:07] Melromarc
What? That's reckless!
[02:09] Naofumi
You three handle L'Arc and Therese.
[02:11] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama, you're not going to...
[02:13] Naofumi
It's to make sure I don't
have to use that shield.
[02:18] Raphtalia
Understood.
[02:19] Melromarc
If that's the case, you've got it.
[02:22] Filo
Yeah! I'll do my best!
[02:23] Naofumi
Let's roll!
[02:26] Glass
You're not getting away!
[02:28] Raphtalia
You two are fighting us!
[02:31] L'arc
Sounds fun.
[02:38] Glass
You want to fight one-on-one?
[02:39] Glass
Perfect. I was thinking the same.
[02:42] Glass
That said...
[02:44] Glass
You left them to fight a duo as
strong as L'Arc and Therese?
[02:47] Glass
You must really trust your party.
[02:51] Naofumi
L'Arc said he was a hero from another world.
[02:56] Naofumi
Are you the same, Glass?
[03:00] Glass
That's right.
[03:01] Glass
I, too, am a Vassal Wielder—the Fan Hero.
[03:07] Naofumi
"Vassal Wielder"?
[03:10] Glass
En garde!
SIGN The Rising of the Shield Hero
[03:17] Therese
My friends, bring forth a wall of fire
to stop my targets in their tracks!
SIGN The Rising of the Shield Hero
[03:22] Therese
Bejeweled Flame Bulwark!
[03:25] Melromarc
Zweit Aqua Slash!
[03:30] Filo
Not so fast!
[03:33] L'arc
Damn!
[03:38] L'arc
You're good.
[03:39] L'arc
No wonder Naofumi trusts you.
[03:41] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama...
[03:48] Naofumi
So quick.
[03:49] Naofumi
But she lacks her edge from before.
[03:51] Naofumi
I can take her.
[03:52] Glass
Rupture-Stance Rondo:
Tortoise Shell Cracker!
[03:55] Naofumi
Dog Bite!
[04:00] Naofumi
Change Shield!
[04:01] Naofumi
Soul Eater Shield!
[04:06] Naofumi
I knew it!
[04:08] Naofumi
Glass is weak to the Soul Eater!
[04:11] L'arc
Glassy!
[04:13] Glass
Naofumi...
[04:15] Naofumi
This shield would only drain
SP from anybody else,
[04:18] Naofumi
but it seems it sucks out
your very life force.
[04:22] Naofumi
You've lost.
[04:24] Naofumi
The Wave will die down
if you retreat, right?
[04:27] Naofumi
Let's end this here.
[04:29] Glass
"End this here"? Nay.
[04:31] Glass
This battle isn't over until one of us dies.
[04:36] Glass
I can't let it end!
[04:38] Naofumi
Hey!
[04:42] Naofumi
Stop it! If you keep this up, you'll die!
[04:46] Glass
So long as I still draw breath,
[04:49] Glass
I will come for your life
time and time again.
[04:53] Glass
I must, for the world I love so much!
[04:56] Glass
You'll have to kill me to get rid of me.
[05:00] Glass
If you don't, this world will end!
[05:04] Melromarc
That's absurd!
[05:06] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama...
[05:07] Glass
You're like me, aren't you, Naofumi?
[05:10] Glass
You wish to protect this world, don't you?!
[05:12] Glass
Then you should look to kill
me right here and now!
[05:16] Naofumi
I...
[05:18] Naofumi
Protect this world?
[05:23] Naofumi
This other world I was summoned to against
my will and put through hell in?
[05:27] Naofumi
Do I really want to protect it as badly
as she wants to protect her own world?
[05:31] Naofumi
Why have I been fighting the Waves?
[05:41] Naofumi
What is this?
[05:42] Glass
They're waiting for us.
[05:46] Glass
My people are fighting the Wave,
awaiting our triumphant return.
[05:51] Naofumi
Is this a vision of Glass's world?
[05:53] Glass
So I absolutely cannot lose!
[05:57] Glass
This is the end! It's do or die, Naofumi!
[06:00] Naofumi
Do I care enough about protecting
this world to crush her hopes?
[06:05] L'arc
Glassy!
[06:08] Naofumi
A soul soothing potion?
[06:09] L'arc
It only lets me use more skills.
[06:13] L'arc
But for her...
[06:14] Naofumi
Crap!
[06:19] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama!
[06:22] Naofumi
Raphtalia!
[06:26] Naofumi
Are you stupid? Why'd you come?!
[06:27] Raphtalia
Because I'm the Shield Hero's...
I'm your sword!
[06:31] Raphtalia
I'll never again let anyone in this world
go through what Rifana-chan and I did!
[06:38] Raphtalia
So...
[06:40] Naofumi
Raphtalia...
[06:41] Raphtalia
We have our own reasons for not losing!
[06:45] Naofumi
Oh no, you don't!
[06:47] Naofumi
Air Strike Shield!
[06:49] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama!
[06:53] Raphtalia
Dark Gas Burning!
[06:58] Glass
Naofumi! Raphtalia-san!
[07:00] L'arc
Glassy!
[07:04] Mirelia
Is there... Is there nothing
we can do to help?
[07:08] Rishia
Save me, Your Majesty!
[07:13] Mirelia
That's it!
[07:19] Naofumi
She tanked it?
[07:23] Naofumi
Wait, that's...
[07:25] Glass
The next move will be the last.
[07:28] L'arc
Glassy, it's too risky!
[07:30] Therese
That's enough, Glass!
[07:32] Glass
Blank-Stance Rondo...
[07:36] Raphtalia
No, Naofumi-sama! Not that shield!
[07:40] Naofumi
I'm an outsider.
[07:42] Naofumi
Once I finish fighting off the Waves,
I'll just go back to my world.
[07:48] Naofumi
However...
[07:50] Naofumi
Raphtalia,
[07:51] Naofumi
Filo, Melty...
[07:53] Naofumi
This world has you three.
[07:55] Naofumi
That's reason enough for
me to use this shield.
[07:59] Naofumi
Reason enough to defeat Glass!
[08:02] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama...
[08:06] Naofumi
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
[08:10] Raphtalia
Wait... Please don't.
[08:11] Naofumi
Within the dragon's jaws
born from my flesh,
[08:14] Naofumi
become an offering to the
gods as you howl in pain!
[08:18] Raphtalia
No!
[08:21] Naofumi
Blood Sacri—
[08:22] Mirelia
Iwatani-sama!
[08:25] Rishia
As source of thy power, I order thee.
[08:27] Rishia
Decipher the laws of nature
and unleash a fist of wind.
[08:31] Rishia
Fast Wind Blow!
[08:35] Rishia
Use these!
[08:36] Naofumi
Are those...
[08:38] Naofumi
Meteor Shield!
[08:44] Raphtalia
You blew up the cask bombs in mid-air?
[08:47] Glass
What is this?
[08:49] L'arc
Wait, don't tell me...
[08:51] Naofumi
They were filled with luchol berries.
[08:53] Raphtalia
You mean the ones they make wine from?
[08:56] Naofumi
Apparently, they don't do anything to me.
[09:01] Naofumi
What now? Wanna keep going?
[09:03] Glass
Yes. I'll end this.
[09:06] Naofumi
L'Arc?
[09:08] Raphtalia
Therese-san!
[09:09] L'arc
This fight's over. Time's up.
[09:14] L'arc
So yeah, you win this time.
[09:18] Therese
Let us fight again when the time comes.
[09:20] Glass
What are you two thinking?
[09:22] Glass
If we don't kill Naofumi now...
[09:25] L'arc
Save that talk for when you're
not about to throw up.
[09:28] L'arc
See ya, Naofumi.
[09:30] L'arc
Man, that sounds really awkward.
[09:32] L'arc
I think I'll stick with "kiddo."
[09:35] Naofumi
L'Arc!
[09:42] Myne
Motoyasu-sama!
[09:43] Motoyasu
Huh? What about the Wave?
[09:46] Itsuki
Looks like it's over.
[09:49] Ren
Naofumi soloed it again?
[09:51] Mirelia
No. The Shield Hero and
each one of us played a part.
[09:55] Mirelia
This victory belongs to all of us!
[10:00] Rishia
I can't drink any more... hic...
[10:06] Raphtalia
Oh, Naofumi-sama, it's an accessory shop.
Let's take a look.
[10:14] Naofumi
After the Wave died down,
we decided we'd leveled up enough.
[10:17] Naofumi
We planned to leave Cal Mira despite
the bonus field still being in effect,
[10:20] Naofumi
and return to Melromarc.
[10:23] Naofumi
However...
[10:25] Raphtalia
See those dark clouds on the horizon?
[10:28] Raphtalia
We can't head back while
those are still looming.
[10:31] Naofumi
You know a lot about the sea, huh?
[10:35] Filo
Wow! You caught another one!
[10:38] Raphtalia
I grew up in a fishing village, after all.
[10:40] Naofumi
Oh, that's right.
[10:43] Naofumi
An offshore storm meant we'd get to extend
our holiday for a few more days.
[10:48] Naofumi
And yet, I just couldn't relax.
[10:52] Naofumi
L'Arc and Glass, who said they
were heroes from another world...
[10:56] Naofumi
They're fighting the Waves
in their own world.
[10:59] Naofumi
And in order to defend their world,
[11:02] Naofumi
they must defeat heroes in
another world. Namely, us.
[11:09] Raphtalia
What shall we do once we get back?
[11:12] Naofumi
Prepare for the next Wave, of course.
[11:15] Raphtalia
Right.
[11:17] Naofumi
But if we're up against Glass's group again,
[11:20] Naofumi
will I be able to kill them?
[11:23] (Flashback) Fitoria
I can't tell you after how
many Waves it will happen,
[11:26] (Flashback) Fitoria
but there will come a time when the
world demands sacrifices from all life.
[11:30] (Flashback) Fitoria
The heroes will be forced to choose
what they fight for in that battle.
[11:35] Naofumi
Choose which world to sacrifice?
[11:38] Naofumi
Is that what you meant, Fitoria?
[11:41] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama?
[11:42] Raphtalia
Is something on your mind?
[11:44] Naofumi
Well...
[11:45] Naofumi
I was just thinking it was about
time we recruited more people.
[11:49] Raphtalia
You're right.
[11:50] Raphtalia
Melty-san's busy with her official duties.
[11:53] Naofumi
We should stock up on as many weapons
and party members as we can.
[11:57] Naofumi
There's no telling if we'll be able to
fight off Glass's group every time.
[12:01] Naofumi
If we Four Cardinal Heroes
end up getting killed,
[12:04] Naofumi
you guys will be the world's only hope.
[12:06] Raphtalia
Um...
[12:07] Filo
Master!
[12:12] Raphtalia
Y-You were trying to drown?!
[12:15] Filo
I saved her.
[12:17] Naofumi
Wasn't she in Itsuki's party?
[12:19] Melromarc
Her name is Rishia, apparently.
[12:22] Melromarc
She lost hope after being kicked
out of the Bow Hero's party.
[12:27] Naofumi
Kicked out?
[12:28] Melromarc
She was accused of something she didn't do.
[12:32] Rishia
I didn't do it!
[12:34] Rishia
They said I broke one of Itsuki-sama's
favorite accessories!
[12:40] Raphtalia
That's awful.
[12:41] Melromarc
A fine excuse to get rid of her.
[12:43] Naofumi
I bet the others didn't take kindly to
her stealing the spotlight in the Wave.
[12:49] Naofumi
Knowing Itsuki, he must've trusted
them blindly and thrown her out.
[12:55] Rishia
Itsuki-sama cast me aside!
I should just die!
[13:00] Naofumi
Rishia, was it?
[13:02] Naofumi
Are you going to take that
false accusation lying down?
[13:05] Rishia
But they're not wrong about me
being weak and useless.
[13:09] Naofumi
Don't you want to teach Itsuki
and the others a lesson?
[13:14] Naofumi
You were a huge help to me during the Wave.
[13:18] Rishia
I helped the Shield Hero?
[13:22] Naofumi
You saved everyone.
[13:23] Naofumi
You have the courage for it.
You can grow much stronger.
[13:26] Rishia
You mean it? Can I really grow stronger?
[13:30] Naofumi
Yeah. So join us.
[13:33] Naofumi
I don't mind helping you out until
you can clear your own name.
[13:38] Raphtalia
Let's become stronger together.
[13:40] Filo
I'll teach you how to swim.
[13:43] Rishia
Th-Thank you for having me!
[13:47] Naofumi
Training another hero's party member?
[13:49] Naofumi
You're a softie, Naofumi.
[13:51] Naofumi
If their parties are as useless as they are,
[13:54] Naofumi
it'll cause real problems down the line.
[13:59] Filo
Hey, where's the food?
[14:04] Naofumi
All right. First, we eat.
[14:06] Filo
'Kay!
[14:06] Raphtalia
Right.
[14:08] Naofumi
Soon, the storm died down,
[14:10] Naofumi
and it was time for us
to return to Melromarc.
[14:14] Mirelia
Shield Hero, I thank you deeply
once again for all you've done.
[14:20] Naofumi
I couldn't do anything by myself.
It's all thanks to my friends.
[14:24] Naofumi
And thanks to you,
[14:25] Naofumi
Your Majesty.
[14:27] Mirelia
You honor me.
[14:30] Naofumi
But who knows if things
will work out next time?
[14:32] Naofumi
The other heroes are way too useless.
[14:35] Mirelia
Indeed.
[14:37] Naofumi
I need to talk to them once again.
[14:39] Mirelia
Yes, and soon.
[14:42] Mirelia
By the way, Iwatani-sama,
have you decided on your reward yet?
[14:47] Mirelia
What can I offer you for your
part in getting rid of the pope?
[14:53] Naofumi
Ah...
[14:54] Mirelia
And then, there's everything
you did here in Cal Mira.
[14:57] Mirelia
If I don't do something now,
I'll never be able to repay you enough.
[15:02] Naofumi
In that case, I do have an idea.
[15:08] Mirelia
As you wish, Sir Shield Hero.
[15:13] Elhart
Oh, you're back, kid!
[15:15] Elhart
Where'd you pick up this cutie?
[15:18] Naofumi
Forget that. Put together some
equipment for her and us.
[15:23] Naofumi
I'll buy as much as I can,
as thanks for last time.
[15:26] Elhart
That's what I like to hear!
[15:28] Elhart
You gonna stick around a while?
[15:30] Naofumi
Nah, we're leaving immediately.
There's somewhere we need to be.
[15:33] Elhart
Oh, that's right.
[15:34] Raphtalia
What? Do you know something, boss?
[15:37] Elhart
Huh? Nothing, really...
[15:39] Elhart
Right, kid?
[15:41] Naofumi
Right.
[15:42] Raphtalia
What's with you two? Tell me!
[15:45] Elhart
You're one lucky missy.
[15:49] Elhart
Come back anytime if you need anything!
[15:55] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama...
[15:57] Raphtalia
Why won't you tell me where we're going?
[16:00] Naofumi
Oh, sorry.
[16:02] Naofumi
We're going to take the queen's reward.
[16:04] Raphtalia
That you were talking about on the boat?
[16:09] Raphtalia
Um... You will stay with us, won't you?
[16:16] Raphtalia
Is that salt in the air?
[16:19] Naofumi
I should've known you'd notice.
[16:21] Raphtalia
You don't mean...
[16:22] Naofumi
Yeah. We'll be there soon.
[16:37] Keel
Raphtalia-chan!
[16:39] Raphtalia
Keel-kun! I'm so glad you're better now!
[16:43] Vice Captain
So much so that Keel's the one
working the hardest every day.
[16:47] Raphtalia
Van-san? Why are you here?
[16:49] Vice Captain
Oh? Haven't you heard?
[16:52] Melromarc
Naofumi really is a jerk.
[16:55] Filo
Hey, Mel-chan!
[16:58] Raphtalia
What's going on, Naofumi-sama?
[17:02] Naofumi
Just watch. You'll find out.
[17:04] Melromarc
Representing the Queen of Melromarc,
[17:07] Melromarc
I, Second Princess Melty Melromarc,
[17:10] Melromarc
I hereby confer upon the Shield Hero,
Naofumi Iwatani-sama,
[17:14] Melromarc
all rights to govern
Seyaette's Demi-Human Region.
[17:19] Raphtalia
What?
[17:20] Naofumi
Basically, that's the reward from the queen.
[17:23] Naofumi
I'm now the lord of this area.
[17:26] Raphtalia
You are?
[17:28] Naofumi
Going forward, we will need a home base.
[17:32] Melromarc
But you could've lived in the capital now.
[17:35] Naofumi
If I did, I'd run the risk of running
into Trash or Bitch somewhere.
[17:40] Melromarc
Sheesh.
[17:41] Filo
Let's play, Mel-chan.
[17:43] Melromarc
Yeah.
[17:43] Naofumi
Follow me, Raphtalia.
[17:45] Naofumi
There's more I want to show you.
[17:52] Raphtalia
Boats?
[17:53] Naofumi
Restarting the fishing business
should help rebuild the place.
[17:56] Naofumi
And we also have you, the fishing expert.
[18:00] Naofumi
Show the newcomers the ropes.
[18:06] Naofumi
Here.
[18:09] Grandma
Oh, Shield Hero!
[18:11] Naofumi
Gran! You're at it, huh?
[18:13] Grandma
I'll train all the new recruits you want.
[18:16] Naofumi
I know. I'm counting on you.
[18:18] Naofumi
And I've brought you a
trainee with potential.
[18:22] Grandma
Can't wait!
[18:24] Medic
Oh, hey. I've stocked us up
on all the medicine we need, too.
[18:27] Witch
Let us know if you need anything else, okay?
[18:30] Raphtalia
You all moved here?
[18:32] Naofumi
The moment they found I'd become the
local lord here, they insisted on helping.
[18:44] Naofumi
If this keeps up,
rebuilding will be finished in no time.
[18:47] Raphtalia
Why?
[18:49] Naofumi
I chose this place a long time ago.
[18:52] Naofumi
Your village was destroyed in a Wave,
[18:55] Naofumi
so we'll use it as our symbol
of resistance against them.
[18:58] Naofumi
We'll recruit more people after Rishia,
[19:01] Naofumi
train them here, and build an army
bigger than the other heroes have.
[19:05] Naofumi
That way, if...
[19:08] Naofumi
Raphtalia?
[19:10] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama, please don't say any more.
[19:13] Raphtalia
This is too much!
[19:16] Raphtalia
It's like you're preparing
us for life without you!
[19:21] Raphtalia
It doesn't matter if Glass-san, L'Arc-san,
or Therese-san show up again!
[19:24] Raphtalia
I know we can fight them and the Waves off!
[19:27] Raphtalia
So you won't die!
[19:29] Raphtalia
I won't let you die!
[19:30] Naofumi
Raphtalia...
[19:31] Raphtalia
But once the Waves are all gone,
[19:34] Raphtalia
you'll return to your world.
[19:37] Raphtalia
I'll never see you again.
[19:39] Raphtalia
I never want that day to come!
[19:41] Naofumi
Well...
[19:42] Raphtalia
Never! I refuse to accept it!
[19:44] Raphtalia
Just thinking of life
without you makes me...
[19:50] Raphtalia
Don't go, Naofumi-sama! Please stay!
[19:53] Raphtalia
Even after the Waves are gone,
[19:55] Raphtalia
stay with us forever!
[20:02] Naofumi
It's been eating away at you, huh?
[20:06] Naofumi
Forgive me.
[20:07] Raphtalia
Oh, no! You don't have to apologize!
[20:11] Naofumi
I certainly was wavering before.
[20:19] Naofumi
But not anymore.
[20:22] Naofumi
That's why I came here.
[20:27] Naofumi
We'll start over.
[20:29] Naofumi
Be it fighting the Waves or
looking for new party members,
[20:33] Naofumi
it all begins here.
[20:36] Naofumi
Meeting you helped me find
meaning in fighting the Waves.
[20:41] Naofumi
Meeting Filo and Melty helped me
decide to fight for my friends.
[20:45] Naofumi
Meeting so many other people made me want
to protect this world as its Shield Hero.
[20:52] Naofumi
This will be our origin,
our starting point, and our home.
[20:56] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama...
[20:58] Naofumi
I hope you'll keep fighting with
me as my sword, Raphtalia.
[21:02] Raphtalia
Yes, of course, Naofumi-sama!
[21:07] Filo
Hey, that's no fair!
[21:11] Filo
I want in, Master!
[21:17] Filo
Join us, Mel-chan.
[21:19] Melromarc
I-I'll pass!
[21:25] Keel
Ready?
[21:26] Keel
Here I go!
[21:33] Raphtalia
Are you watching, Rifana-chan?
[21:35] Raphtalia
Our flag flies in our village once again.
[21:38] Rishia
That's a really pretty shield flag.

[21:57] Raphtalia
Naofumi-sama...
[22:01] Naofumi
Yeah.
[22:02] Naofumi
The Shield Hero's story begins anew!
[22:25] Itsuki
I see. Naofumi-san has his own domain?
[22:28] Itsuki
Looks like we're the only ones who can go
around making the world a better place.
[22:34] Ren
I will be stronger.
[22:36] Ren
Far stronger than you
could ever be, Naofumi!
[22:39] Myne
It's outrageous that the
Devil of the Shield has a domain.
[22:43] Myne
Don't you agree, Motoyasu-sama?
[22:45] Motoyasu
I don't see the problem.
[22:47] Motoyasu
Let's go visit sometime.
[22:49] Motoyasu
I'd like to see Filo-chan.
[22:53] Motoyasu
I say it would behoove you
to keep an open mind.
[22:56] Myne
"Behoove"?
[22:58] Motoyasu
Huh? Why'd I say that?
[23:00] Aultcray
I'm counting on you two.
[23:08] Slave Trader
Quite the bold decision by the Shield Hero.
[23:12] Slave Trader
I suppose he won't be coming
to see me for a while now.
[23:16] Slave Trader
But you are still my golden goose.
[23:19] Slave Trader
I trust that you'll become an even better
patron and bring me even more profits.
