**[00:15] Aultcray**
Splendidly done, brave heroes.
**[00:18] Aultcray**
Tonight, we celebrate!
**[00:20] Aultcray**
Enjoy yourselves to the fullest!
**[00:22] All**
Hooray!
**[00:25] Noble A**
That's the heroes for you.
**[00:27] Noble B**
Our country has nothing to worry about.
**[00:30] Naofumi**
*Screw this party.*
**[00:32] Naofumi**
* I never would have come here*
* if it wasn't for the reward.*
**[00:36] Noble C**
I hear the casualties were in
the single digits this time.
**[00:40] Noble D**
Bless our heroes.
**[00:43] Captain**
I held my ground against a massive monster
**[00:46] Captain**
and fought with pride as a royal knight...
**[00:48] Naofumi**
What?
**[00:49] Noble E**
I'm truly honored to meet you, Spear Hero.
**[00:53] Noble F**
Do you happen to have a lover?
**[00:57] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama is still
tired from the battle.
**[01:03] Motoyasu**
You there.
**[01:05] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama...
**[01:12] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[01:15] Raphtalia**
Aren't you hungry?
**[01:17] Raphtalia**
The food here seems heavenly!
**[01:20] Naofumi**
If you want to eat, go ahead.
**[01:23] Raphtalia**
You should join me.
**[01:24] Naofumi**
I'll pass.

**[01:34] Naofumi**
*Teleport people with me, huh?*
***SIGN*** Persons or objects can be registered to allow them to be
teleported with you when summoned by the hourglass.
**[01:38] Naofumi**
*If only I'd noticed this sooner...*
**[01:42] Raphtalia**
Let's eat together.
**[01:45] Raphtalia**
Have a bite.
**[01:47] Naofumi**
No, I...
**[01:49] Naofumi**
It's really good, you know?
**[01:53] Naofumi**
See?
**[01:58] Motoyasu**
Naofumi...
**[02:05] Motoyasu**
Duel me.
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Lullaby at Dawn
**[03:45] Motoyasu**
I heard that Raphtalia-chan's your slave.
**[03:52] Naofumi**
And what if she is?
**[03:53] Motoyasu**
You...
**[03:55] Naofumi**
Raphtalia is my slave.
**[03:57] Naofumi**
So what?
**[03:58] Motoyasu**
Listen! It's not right to enslave others!
**[04:02] Naofumi**
Listen to yourself.
**[04:03] Naofumi**
Slavery is legal in this country, anyway.
**[04:07] Motoyasu**
But we're heroes from another world!
**[04:09] Motoyasu**
We can't behave that way here!
**[04:11] Naofumi**
That's just your opinion.
**[04:14] Naofumi**
I disagree.
**[04:16] Motoyasu**
Fight me!
**[04:18] Motoyasu**
If I win, free Raphtalia-chan.
**[04:22] Naofumi**
And what if I win?
**[04:24] Motoyasu**
Then... you can keep things as they are.
**[04:29] Naofumi**
Ridiculous.
**[04:31] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[04:32] Itsuki**
He has a slave in his party?
**[04:35] Ren**
I thought he couldn't stoop
any lower, but he has.
**[04:40] Aultcray**
I overheard your conversation.
**[04:43] Aultcray**
A hero, using a demi-human as his slave?
**[04:48] Aultcray**
It seems that you are rotten to the core.
**[04:54] Aultcray**
I order you to accept his challenge!
**[04:59] Raphtalia**
That won't be necessary!
**[05:01] Raphtalia**
I'm with Naofumi-sama
of my own free will.
**[05:04] Naofumi**
What are you playing at?!
**[05:05] Aultcray**
Poor girl.
**[05:07] Aultcray**
You've been placed under a curse that
compels you to defend your master.
**[05:13] Aultcray**
Don't worry.
**[05:14] Aultcray**
Once Motoyasu-dono wins, we shall
release you from that curse.
**[05:18] Naofumi**
Hey! Knock it off!
**[05:19] Knight**
Draw your swords!
**[05:24] Aultcray**
If you won't heed my order,
I shall take her from you by force.
**[05:28] Motoyasu**
I hope you're not thinking
of running from this.
**[05:31] Naofumi**
You scumbag!
**[05:34] Naofumi**
If I win, you'd better return Raphtalia!
**[05:39] Myne**
And how exactly will you win, *Shield* Hero?
**[05:50] Minister**
The duel between the
Spear Hero and the Shield Hero will now begin!
**[05:55] Minister**
This duel will end when one of the
combatants is pinned or admits defeat.
***SIGN*** Legendary Weapon Rule Violation:
Holding non-assigned weapon.
**[06:18] Minister**
This duel will take place in the presence
of King Melromarc and the Pope,
**[06:22] Minister**
and it is thus legitimate and official.
**[06:28] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[06:29] Myne**
Best of luck!
**[06:36] Motoyasu**
Remember that folk tale about the
irresistible spear and the immovable shield?
**[06:43] Motoyasu**
Naofumi, be a man and admit defeat.
**[06:54] Minister**
Ready...
**[06:57] Minister**
Begin!
**[07:03] Motoyasu**
You stopped it?
**[07:04] Motoyasu**
I guess you're not the
Shield Hero for nothing.
**[07:07] Naofumi**
You lose.
**[07:10] Naofumi**
In this battle between an irresistible
spear and an immovable shield,
**[07:13] Naofumi**
you lost the moment you
couldn't pierce my shield!
**[07:26] Motoyasu**
Chaos Spear!
**[07:40] Motoyasu**
Damn!
**[07:44] Myne**
A strike using the shield? It would never...
**[07:48] Motoyasu**
Ow!
**[07:49] Motoyasu**
Wh-Why?
**[07:51] Myne**
A balloon? What's that doing here?
**[07:58] Motoyasu**
What the hell are you playing at?
**[08:01] Naofumi**
If I can't win anyway, I might as
well make you as miserable as I can.
**[08:05] Motoyasu**
Screw you!
**[08:07] Motoyasu**
Fight me fair and square!
***SIGN*** Two-Headed Black Dog Shield
Exclusive Skill: Dog Bite
**[08:15] Motoyasu**
Get off me!
**[08:16] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[08:22] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[08:29] Motoyasu**
Hey! Stop that!
**[08:31] Motoyasu**
Shit!
**[08:32] Motoyasu**
That hurts! Knock it off,
you cowardly cheat!
**[08:33] Woman**
It can't be.
**[08:34] Man**
If this keeps up, the Shield Hero might win.
**[08:36] Itsuki**
Naofumi-san's got the upper hand.
**[08:39] Ren**
Yeah.
**[08:43] Woman**
What does that lowly Shield Hero
think he's doing to the Spear Hero?
**[08:47] Man**
Have you no respect for
the sanctity of a duel?!
**[08:54] Naofumi**
Hurry up and admit defeat.
**[08:56] Naofumi**
Do you want to be embarrassed
even more, Mr. Hot Stuff?
**[09:01] Motoyasu**
Wh-Who would ever surrender now?
**[09:05] Naofumi**
I see.
**[09:07] Naofumi**
Then...
**[09:08] Naofumi**
Shall I focus the attacks on
your face and your crotch?
**[09:13] Naofumi**
I'm a cowardly cheat, after all!
**[09:15] Motoyasu**
D-Don't!
**[09:26] Naofumi**
*Magic?*
**[09:28] Naofumi**
*It was her!*
**[09:30] Naofumi**
You bitch!
**[09:44] Motoyasu**
Lightning Spear!
**[10:02] Motoyasu**
Victory is mine!
**[10:20] Naofumi**
Hold it.
**[10:23] Naofumi**
Someone interfered in our one-on-one duel.
**[10:26] Naofumi**
It doesn't count.
**[10:28] Motoyasu**
Huh?
**[10:29] Naofumi**
Your party member messed up that duel!
**[10:33] Motoyasu**
Sore loser much?
**[10:34] Naofumi**
No!
**[10:36] Naofumi**
Everyone there saw it!
**[10:38] Naofumi**
You saw Myne use her magic, didn't you?
**[10:42] Naofumi**
I know you saw it!
**[10:44] Naofumi**
She used her magic to help him win...
**[10:50] Naofumi**
No... There's no way they didn't see it.
**[10:52] Aultcray**
There's no need to listen
to the words of scum.
**[10:56] Aultcray**
Spear Hero,
**[10:57] Aultcray**
you are the victor!
**[11:00] Myne**
I knew you could do it,
**[11:03] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama.
**[11:05] Motoyasu**
Aww...
**[11:13] Myne**
Shield Hero, I know you must feel terrible.
**[11:17] Myne**
It's really too bad that you'll
have to go back to fighting alone.
**[11:28] Aultcray**
You were brilliant, Motoyasu-dono.
**[11:32] Aultcray**
My daughter, Malty, was right to pick you.
***SIGN*** Of course, Father.
**[11:39] Motoyasu**
I was so shocked when I
heard Myne was a princess.
***SIGN*** I am.
***SIGN*** But I fight to contribute to the world's peace.
**[11:48] Naofumi**
*So these guys planned everything...*
**[11:53] Naofumi**
* The daughter framed me to get in the*
* good graces of her favorite hero.*
**[11:59] Naofumi**
* And the father distorted the facts*
* for the sake of his daughter.*
**[12:04] Naofumi**
*This duel was a setup all along, too!*
**[12:07] (Flashback) Malty**
The Shield Hero has forced
that girl to be his slave.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Malty**
Please save her.
**[12:16] Naofumi**
*Do they want to see me suffer that badly?*
**[12:24] Naofumi**
* I didn't come to this world*
* because I wanted to.*
**[12:27] Naofumi**
*You're the ones who summoned me!*
**[12:29] Naofumi**
*So...*
**[12:31] Naofumi**
*Why must I alone go through this?*
**[12:34] Minister**
The girl enslaved by the Shield Hero
has been freed by the Spear Hero!
**[12:41] Woman**
We should never have summoned
the Shield Hero, anyway.
**[12:45] Man**
The other three are more than enough!
**[12:48] Woman**
We should just get rid of
that criminal scum at once.
**[12:51] Man**
Our country doesn't need the Shield!
**[12:53] Man**
Execute the Shield Hero right away!
**[12:56] Naofumi**
It's all about the Shield again?
**[12:58] Naofumi**
Is it because I'm the Shield Hero?
**[13:02] Naofumi**
Damn it...
**[13:04] Naofumi**
Damn it all!
**[13:09] Naofumi**
God damn it...
***SIGN*** Well, let's free the girl from her curse.
**[13:24] Naofumi**
Raphtalia?
**[13:27] Aultcray**
Begin.
**[13:35] Naofumi**
Hey!
***SIGN*** Slave pact with Raphtalia terminated
***SIGN*** You're free now.
***SIGN*** Be grateful for the charity Motoyasu-sama showed you.
**[13:53] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[14:11] Naofumi**
That's it... I've had enough!
**[14:22] Naofumi**
This is hell.
**[14:26] Naofumi**
A world like this...
**[14:31] Naofumi**
...can die for all I care!
***SIGN*** Curse Series Requirement Met
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
You cheat!
***SIGN*** Wh-What are you doing to Motoyasu-sama?
**[14:45] Raphtalia**
When did I ask you to free me?!
**[14:49] Motoyasu**
B-But he was abusing you, right?
**[14:53] Raphtalia**
What the hell do you know
about Naofumi-sama?!
**[14:57] Raphtalia**
He never made me do anything I couldn't do!
**[15:02] Raphtalia**
He only activated the curse when
I was too scared to fight!
**[15:07] Motoyasu**
And that's the problem!
**[15:09] Motoyasu**
Nobody should be forced to fight!
**[15:11] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama can't use any weapons!
**[15:13] Raphtalia**
Someone else has to fight for him!
**[15:16] Motoyasu**
It doesn't have to be you.
**[15:18] Motoyasu**
He'll just abuse you until you break.
**[15:21] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama defends me!
**[15:24] Raphtalia**
He lets me rest when I'm tired!
**[15:26] Motoyasu**
No, he's not that kind of guy.
**[15:29] Raphtalia**
Are you capable of extending a hand to
a diseased slave on the verge of death?
**[15:36] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama fed me everything
I wanted to eat!
**[15:41] Raphtalia**
He gave me valuable medicine
to treat my illness!
**[15:45] Raphtalia**
Are *you* capable of that?!
**[15:48] Motoyasu**
O-Of course I could...
**[15:50] Raphtalia**
If that were true, you would
have a slave by your side, too!
**[15:56] Motoyasu**
That's...
***SIGN*** Knock it off!
***SIGN*** How dare you, damned demi-human?
**[16:01] Noble**
Look over there!
**[16:02] Noble**
What's going on?
**[16:04] Noble**
A quarrel?
**[16:06] Itsuki**
Myne-san, I'd like to ask you about
your illegal interference in the duel.
***SIGN*** What ever do you mean?
**[16:13] Motoyasu**
Illegal interference?
**[16:14] Ren**
You lost that duel, Motoyasu.
**[16:18] Ren**
*Someone* shot a magic spell at Naofumi.
**[16:22] Ren**
It was hard to tell, though,
because it was wind magic.
**[16:25] Motoyasu**
Myne?
**[16:26] Myne**
You must've imagined it.
**[16:29] Myne**
The audience didn't see a thing.
**[16:30] Itsuki**
The king has told them to keep quiet.
**[16:33] Itsuki**
One look at the nobles'
eyes makes it obvious.
**[16:35] Ren**
I can't believe royalty
would debase a sacred duel.
**[16:51] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[16:53] Naofumi**
Why'd you come back?
**[16:56] Naofumi**
To laugh at me?
**[16:59] Raphtalia**
I...
**[16:59] Naofumi**
I don't need a traitor.
**[17:01] Naofumi**
Get lost.
**[17:04] Raphtalia**
I heard rumors.
**[17:06] Raphtalia**
They called you the horrible hero who
forced himself on a party member.
**[17:13] Raphtalia**
But I think you wouldn't do...
**[17:16] Naofumi**
I didn't do it!
**[17:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[17:20] Naofumi**
Stay away!
**[17:22] Raphtalia**
Please listen to me.
**[17:27] Naofumi**
Don't touch me!
**[17:30] Naofumi**
Thanks to the oh-so-charitable Motoyasu,
you're free now.
**[17:33] Naofumi**
You can stay clear of me!
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Or what, did he tell you to go get
a good look at the loser's face?
**[17:42] Naofumi**
Please just leave me alone.
**[17:53] Raphtalia**
I believe you, Naofumi-sama.
**[17:56] Raphtalia**
What can I do to make you believe me?
**[18:00] Naofumi**
"Believe you"?
**[18:02] Naofumi**
After you betrayed me?
**[18:05] Raphtalia**
I will always be on your side,
come what may!
**[18:08] Naofumi**
Lies!
**[18:10] Naofumi**
You're just saying that to trick me again!
**[18:12] Raphtalia**
I...
**[18:13] Naofumi**
Shut up!
**[18:14] Naofumi**
What else are you people
going to frame me for?
**[18:18] Naofumi**
I drew the short straw
the moment I came here.
**[18:21] Naofumi**
Try as I might, nobody will accept me.
**[18:24] Naofumi**
Nobody believes me.
**[18:27] Naofumi**
Because of this damn thing, I...
**[18:32] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[18:34] Raphtalia**
This shield has saved my
life many times over.
**[18:41] Raphtalia**
And during the Wave...
**[18:43] Raphtalia**
Even though you couldn't fight,
**[18:45] Raphtalia**
you defended the villagers using it.
**[18:49] Naofumi**
I didn't really do it for the villagers.
**[18:53] Raphtalia**
Still, you saved many, many lives.
**[18:57] Naofumi**
I'm not that nice a guy.
**[18:59] Naofumi**
I saw you as nothing but
a tool at first, too.
**[19:03] Raphtalia**
But you saved me.
**[19:06] Naofumi**
No!
**[19:07] Naofumi**
I was only thinking of myself...
**[19:21] Raphtalia**
I know you better than
anyone else in this world.
**[19:26] Raphtalia**
I know how kind you are.
**[19:30] Raphtalia**
So even if the whole world speaks ill of you,
**[19:34] Raphtalia**
I'll tell them they're wrong.
**[19:36] Raphtalia**
I'll tell them again and again
that you're a wonderful person.
**[19:40] Raphtalia**
You're the one who saved
my life, gave me a sword,
**[19:43] Raphtalia**
and showed me my purpose in life.
**[19:51] Raphtalia**
I am your sword.
**[19:53] Raphtalia**
I will follow you through fire and brimstone.
**[19:58] Naofumi**
* Those were the words I always*
* wished someone would say to me.*
**[20:04] Naofumi**
*No, I just didn't hear her before...*
**[20:08] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I am your sword!
**[20:11] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Wherever you go, I will go with you.
**[20:19] Raphtalia**
Even if you can't trust
anyone anymore, I trust you.
**[20:24] Raphtalia**
I trust you, the man who saved me.
**[20:26] Raphtalia**
No, I trust...
**[20:33] Raphtalia**
...the great Shield Hero.
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Wh-Who are you?
**[20:43] Raphtalia**
What are you saying?
**[20:45] Raphtalia**
It's me, Raphtalia.
**[20:47] Naofumi**
But... Raphtalia's still a kid.
**[20:51] Raphtalia**
Sheesh...
**[20:52] Raphtalia**
When will you stop treating me like a child?
**[20:55] Raphtalia**
I mean, sure, I'm still an unreliable
kid who cries at the drop of a hat.
**[21:01] Raphtalia**
I may even be a burden.
**[21:03] Raphtalia**
But please let me stand by your side.
**[21:08] Raphtalia**
I need you, Naofumi-sama.
**[21:31] Motoyasu**
I didn't do anything wrong!
**[21:34] Motoyasu**
What's wrong is a hero having a slave!
**[21:37] Motoyasu**
Raphtalia-chan might still be doing
all this because she's brainwashed.
**[21:41] Ren**
I don't know about that.
**[21:43] Itsuki**
It's amazing that you can say that
after seeing them like this.
**[21:53] Raphtalia**
It must've been so painful.
**[21:55] Raphtalia**
But from now, let me share in your pain.
**[22:16] Raphtalia**
Good morning, Naofumi-sama.
**[22:24] Naofumi**
Did you make this?
**[22:27] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[22:28] Raphtalia**
It's only leftovers from the castle
kitchen and some bread, though.
**[22:35] Naofumi**
You *are* Raphtalia, right?
**[22:38] Naofumi**
I'm not used to it yet.
**[22:42] Raphtalia**
When demi-humans level up as children,
**[22:45] Raphtalia**
their bodies follow suit
and grow rapidly, too.
**[22:49] Raphtalia**
That's why demi-humans are seen as inhuman
beasts and discriminated against.
**[22:55] Naofumi**
I see.
**[22:58] Raphtalia**
For leftovers, it's quite good!
**[23:09] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[23:11] Naofumi**
I can taste it. It's good!
**[23:16] Raphtalia**
Let's eat lots of delicious
food from now on.
**[23:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[23:26] Naofumi**
Yeah?
**[23:27] Raphtalia**
Let's do our best.
