[00:39] Filo
    Can't sleep, Master?
[00:43] Naofumi
    I just came to check on you two.
[00:45] Naofumi
    Go back to sleep.
[00:46] Filo
    'Kay.
[00:49] Filo
    Good night, Master.
[00:52] Filo
    See you tomorrow.
[00:54] Naofumi
    Yeah, night.

[02:45] Woman
    You folks had better turn back.
[02:49] Kid
    If you keep going, you'll die.
[02:52] Naofumi
    We heard there's a village down this path.
[02:56] Woman
    The village is done for.
[02:58] Woman
    The plague even got the village elder.
[03:06] Raphtalia
    What could be happening there?
[03:08] Naofumi
    We'll see when we get there.
[03:24] Man
    What brings you to a place like this?
[03:27] Naofumi
    I'm a traveling merchant.
     I'm here to sell you medicine.
[03:29] Man
    A traveling merchant?
[03:31] Man
    Wait, that filolial...
[03:34] Man
    Could it be the Heavenly Fowl?
[03:36] Man
    Doctor!
[03:39] Doctor
    What's the matter?
[03:41] Man
    Our Savior of the Heavenly
    Fowl has come for us!
[03:47] Naofumi
    "Doctor"?
[03:48] Doctor
    I run the village clinic.
[03:51] Doctor
    If I may ask, are you really...
[03:54] Naofumi
    I'm only here to sell you medicine.
[03:56] Doctor
    Even that would be a great help!
[03:58] Doctor
    I cannot make nearly enough for everyone!
[04:06] Nurse
    Doctor, who are these people?
[04:08] Doctor
    Oh, they say they'll sell us medicine.
[04:12] Naofumi
    Looking at this, I should probably
    give it to them myself.
[04:32] Filo
    Here.
[04:46] Naofumi
    Fifty silvers, huh?
[04:47] Doctor
    Will it do?
[04:49] Naofumi
    You're a bit short, but I'll take it.
[04:52] Doctor
    You were truly a great help.
[04:55] Doctor
    Now we've staved off the immediate crisis.
[04:57] Naofumi
    Are you satisfied with that?
[04:59] Naofumi
    All I did was treat their symptoms.
     I didn't cure them.
[05:03] Naofumi
    They'll eventually go back to square one.
[05:05] Doctor
    You're indeed right.
[05:07] Naofumi
    Not that I mind, since I'll
    make good money anyway.
[05:10] Naofumi
    Let's see what dies out first,
     you or your coffers.
[05:15] Nurse
    We know that we can't let this go on!
[05:18] Nurse
    But...
[05:18] Nurse
    There's nothing we can do.
[05:21] Raphtalia
    What do you mean?
[05:23] Nurse
    We believe the wind from the mountain
    that's home to monsters is the cause.
[05:29] Naofumi
    The mountain that's home to monsters?
[05:31] Doctor
    Around a month ago, a large
    dragon that nested there
[05:35] Doctor
    was killed by the Sword Hero.
[05:39] Naofumi
    Oh, I did hear rumors about that.
[05:42] Naofumi
    But what does that have
    to do with the plague?
[05:45] Doctor
    In order to see the dragon's
    corpse and gather materials,
[05:48] Doctor
    many adventurers came to our village.
[05:51] Doctor
    That certainly did help
    the village flourish.
[05:55] Doctor
    But one day, an adventurer collapsed, and more followed.
[05:58] Doctor
    The dragon's flesh must have begun
    to rot and emit some kind of poison.
[06:04] Naofumi
    Damn Ren.
[06:06] Naofumi
    Even a high schooler like him should
    know that meat rots when you leave it out.
[06:11] Naofumi
    Actually, I guess it must've slipped his mind,
     since he thinks this world is a game.
[06:16] Raphtalia
    If you know the cause,
    then why don't you get rid of it?
[06:20] Nurse
    That mountain's filled with violent monsters,
     so only adventurers can go there.
[06:25] Nurse
    We can't do anything about it.
[06:27] Doctor
    And perhaps due to the dragon's poison,
    the ecology there has changed, too.
[06:32] Doctor
    The average adventurer cannot
    get anywhere near the corpse.
[06:38] Naofumi
    Have you informed the
     royal court about this?
[06:39] Doctor
    Yes. We're slated to receive
    a medicine delivery shortly.
[06:43] Nurse
    But they said the heroes are
    too busy to help for a while yet.
[06:48] Raphtalia
    Is that so?
[06:49] Naofumi
    Cancel the request you made to the court.
[06:52] Naofumi
    Raphtalia...
[06:54] Naofumi
    Prepare to set out.
[06:55] Raphtalia
    Right away!
[06:56] Doctor
    Wait, are you planning to go yourself?
[06:59] Doctor
    It's too dangerous!
[07:01] Raphtalia
    Don't worry. We're used to danger.
[07:04] Doctor
    I can't find the words to
    express our gratitude.
[07:07] Naofumi
    Keep your thanks.
[07:09] Naofumi
    What I want is money.
[07:10] Naofumi
    Five hundred silvers will cover it.
[07:12] Doctor
    Five hundred? That's too much!
[07:15] Naofumi
    That includes hazard pay.
[07:17] Naofumi
    You can just pay me what you
    were going to pay the court.
[07:20] Nurse
    "Savior," my foot.
    He's just a money-grubber.
[07:22] Doctor
    Stop that!
[07:24] Naofumi
    I don't recall ever calling myself a savior.
[07:31] Raphtalia
    You're deliberately trying to make them hate you,
    aren't you, Naofumi-sama?

[07:39] Raphtalia
    Anyway, I know we're dealing
    with a dragon here,
[07:42] Raphtalia
    but this is a huge loadout.
[07:44] Naofumi
    We had to take the wagon either way.
[07:46] Naofumi
    A little more luggage is no problem.
[07:49] Raphtalia
    We could've traveled lighter if
    Filo hadn't thrown a tantrum.
[07:53] (Flashback) Filo
    I've made a lifetime's worth
     of memories with this wagon.
[07:56] (Flashback) Filo
    I don't wanna leave it behind!
[07:58] (Flashback) Naofumi
    Yeah, your lifetime of one whole month.
[08:02] Raphtalia
    I don't know what to do
    about Filo's selfishness.
[08:05] Naofumi
    Actually, it might've
    been a pretty good idea.
[08:11] Naofumi
    We'll never get anywhere
    if we try to fight them all.
[08:14] Naofumi
    As Shield Hero, source of
    thy power, I order thee.
[08:17] Naofumi
    Decipher the laws of nature
    and defend my target.
[08:21] Naofumi
    Fast Guard!
[08:24] Naofumi
    Run right through them, Filo!
[08:25] Filo
    'Kay!
[08:36] Naofumi
    The air here is stagnant.
[08:38] Naofumi
    Stay back if you're having a hard time.
[08:40] Raphtalia
    No, I'll be fine.
[08:42] Naofumi
    I see.
[08:43] Naofumi
    But man, we should've
    eaten before coming here.
[08:47] Naofumi
    Looking at this is making
    me lose my appetite.
[08:52] Filo
    Looking at it made me hungry.
[08:55] Raphtalia
    Don't overeat!
[08:58] Naofumi
    Looking at its size, even taking
    it apart will be a pain.
[09:20] Naofumi
    A dragon zombie?!
[09:24] Raphtalia
    What do we do, Naofumi-sama?
[09:26] Naofumi
    For now, get away from it!
[09:34] Filo
    A dragon!
[09:35] Filo
    I hate dragons!
[09:40] Naofumi
    Maybe we can fight it.
[09:46] Naofumi
    Get behind me, you two!
[09:56] Naofumi
    My shield can't block all
    of its poison breath.
[09:59] Naofumi
    I have resistance, but Raphtalia doesn't!
[10:01] Naofumi
    Still...
[10:02] Naofumi
    If we don't stop it here,
    it'll cause even more problems!
[10:08] Filo
    Now I'm mad!
[10:10] Naofumi
    Filo! Don't fight it alone!
[10:16] Naofumi
    We have to get away and regroup.
[10:18] Naofumi
    Let's go, Raphtalia.
[10:20] Naofumi
    Filo!
[10:22] Naofumi
    That idiot!
[10:24] Naofumi
    Hey!
[10:24] Naofumi
    Filo!
[10:34] Raphtalia
    Filo!
[10:57] Naofumi
    Again?
[10:59] Naofumi
    Am I going to lose it all again?
[11:02] Naofumi
    Is this world going to take
    everything from me again?

    anyone anymore, I trust you.

    I trust the great Shield Hero.
[14:13] Naofumi
    What was I doing?
[14:16] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama...
[14:19] Raphtalia
    Thank goodness... you're back.
[14:24] Naofumi
    Raphtalia!
[14:26] Naofumi
    What's all this?
[14:28] Naofumi
    Don't tell me...

    As Shield Hero, source of
    thy power, I order thee.

    Decipher the laws of nature

    I said heal, damn it!
[14:50] Naofumi
    Fast Heal!
[14:52] Naofumi
    It's my fault...
[14:55] Naofumi
    Go away!
[15:01] Naofumi
    Stop it!
[15:04] Naofumi
    To defeat the dragon,
[15:06] Naofumi
    I have to use this power.
[15:08] Naofumi
    But...
[15:10] Naofumi
    If I lose focus, hatred will consume my mind.
[15:14] Naofumi
    What can I do?
[15:36] Naofumi
    What just happened?
[15:38] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama?
[15:41] Naofumi
    Raphtalia!
[15:42] Naofumi
    You okay?
[15:45] Raphtalia
    Yes... thanks to your healing.
[15:50] Raphtalia
    What happened to the dragon?
[16:08] Raphtalia
    Is that you, Filo?
[16:10] Filo
    I finally got back out!
[16:13] Raphtalia
    You're okay?
[16:14] Filo
    Yep.
[16:16] Raphtalia
    But you were eaten,
     and there was all that blood...
[16:18] Filo
    Blood?
[16:20] Filo
    Oh, I threw up my food when I got gobbled.
[16:27] Naofumi
    It was that red fruit?
[16:29] Filo
    Were you worried about me, Master?
[16:34] Naofumi
    Who knows?
[16:35] Filo
    Why are you looking away?
[16:38] Naofumi
    Get away from me.
[16:39] Raphtalia
    So, wait, you killed the dragon, too?
[16:43] Filo
    Yep. When I was tearing at its
    belly trying to get out,
[16:47] Filo
    I found a big purple crystal.
[16:50] Filo
    It was shining.
[16:52] Naofumi
    A crystal?
[16:54] Naofumi
    That was its core, huh?
[16:57] Naofumi
    So, where's the crystal?
[17:03] Naofumi
    You ate it?!
[17:06] Naofumi
    Raphtalia!
[17:08] Filo
    Onee-chan?
[17:09] Naofumi
    We'll give her the medicine in the carriage
    and head back to the village at once.
[17:13] Raphtalia
    No.
[17:15] Raphtalia
    We have to deal with the dragon's corpse.
[17:17] Naofumi
    You come first!
[17:19] Raphtalia
    I'll be fine.
[17:21] Raphtalia
    I'll take that medicine
    and lie down for a bit.
[17:25] Naofumi
    Filo, let's hurry and clean this mess up.
[17:27] Filo
    'Kay!
[17:29] Doctor
    The mountain wind has gone back to normal.
[17:33] Doctor
    We'll be all right now.
[17:35] Doctor
    Thank you so very much.
[17:37] Naofumi
    Use that money to treat Raphtalia.
[17:40] Naofumi
    I don't care how much it costs.
[17:42] Naofumi
    Please cure her.
[17:44] Doctor
    Curing her will be difficult.
[17:47] Doctor
    She's been afflicted with a curse,
    and a powerful one at that.
[17:51] Doctor
    We've wrapped her with bandages
    soaked in holy water,
[17:55] Doctor
    but we don't have holy water
    pure enough to dispel curses.
[18:01] Doctor
    If you go to a church in a big town,
     I'm sure you'll find some.
[18:04] Doctor
    Keep this money for when you do.
[18:08] Naofumi
    Thanks.
[18:13] Filo
    Onee-chan, are you okay?
[18:15] Raphtalia
    Yes. I've been tended to,
[18:17] Raphtalia
    so I'll be fine.
[18:19] Nurse
    I never knew corpses could inflict
    such powerful curses.
[18:23] Nurse
    Dragons are terrifying creatures.
[18:26] Raphtalia
    Yes.
[18:27] Raphtalia
    I shouldn't have been so careless and
    gotten all that rotten flesh on me.
[18:35] Nurse
    He cares about you very much, doesn't he?
[18:37] Raphtalia
    Huh? Er, uh...
[18:39] Nurse
    Take care, Raphtalia-san.
[18:44] Naofumi
    I'm sorry.
[18:46] Raphtalia
    It's all right.
[18:48] Raphtalia
    It's just...
[18:50] Raphtalia
    I got the feeling that power would
    take you somewhere far away.
[18:55] Raphtalia
    So, given that I was able to stop you,
     this doesn't bother me one bit.
[19:03] Filo
    Are you leaving us, Master?
[19:07] Naofumi
    I'm not going anywhere.
[19:10] Filo
    I have a gift for you, Master!
[19:14] Naofumi
    What's this?
[19:17] Filo
    A crystal that was inside the dragon.
[19:19] Raphtalia
    You threw it up?
[19:22] Filo
    No! I kept this one to be a gift!
[19:26] Naofumi
    If this is a crystallization of the
    residual mana from the dragon's corpse...
[19:38] Naofumi
    My level isn't high enough, huh?
[19:41] Naofumi
    That shield wasn't in the upgrade tree.
[19:45] Naofumi
    If I'd continued to use its power,
[19:47] Naofumi
    I would've killed both Raphtalia and Filo,
    who was inside the dragon.
[19:52] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama?
[19:55] Naofumi
    Forgive me, you two.
[19:58] Naofumi
    I put you both in danger
    because I hesitated.
[20:03] Naofumi
    Just as bravery and recklessness differ,
     so too do caution and cowardice.
[20:08] Naofumi
    If I remain a coward, I'll fail
    to protect the things I care about.
[20:12] Naofumi
    Back then, I should've stepped
    up and distracted the dragon.
[20:17] Naofumi
    There were so many things I could've done.
[20:20] Raphtalia
    It wasn't your fault, Naofumi-sama!
[20:22] Raphtalia
    If only I had been stronger...
[20:25] Filo
    I messed up, too.
[20:26] Filo
    I charged in because
    I hate dragons so much.
[20:30] Naofumi
    You two...
[20:37] Naofumi
    We are stronger now than we were yesterday,
[20:40] Naofumi
    and we'll be even stronger tomorrow.
[20:43] Naofumi
    Let's keep that up, one day at a time.
[20:45] Raphtalia
    Yes, let's. Together.
[20:47] Filo
    I'll work hard, too!
[20:49] Naofumi
    Yeah.
[20:50] Filo
    Wow, you smiled, Master!
[20:54] Raphtalia
    Yeah.
[20:55] Raphtalia
    You finally showed us a normal smile.
[20:58] Naofumi
    Did I...?
[21:00] Filo
    Yep! Right, Onee-chan?
[21:02] Raphtalia
    Right!
[21:06] Naofumi
    It's gotten late.
[21:07] Naofumi
    Get some sleep and rest up.
[21:09] Filo
    'Kay!
[21:11] Raphtalia
    U-Um...
[21:14] Raphtalia
    Could you spend the night with me?
[21:18] Naofumi
    Don't want to be lonely?
[21:19] Raphtalia
    It's not that.
[21:21] Raphtalia
    I thought I would be allowed
    to have this, just this once.
[21:24] Naofumi
    Filo...
[21:26] Naofumi
    Sleep with Raphtalia tonight.
[21:28] Filo
    'Kay!
[21:29] Raphtalia
    Huh?
[21:30] Naofumi
    You're cold, aren't you?
[21:32] Raphtalia
    That's not what I meant...
[21:35] Filo
    Join us, Master.
[21:38] Naofumi
    No way.
[21:40] Naofumi
    I'm not warm, you know.
[21:51] Naofumi
    I have to grow stronger...
[21:54] Naofumi
    Along with the people who believe in me.
[21:58] Naofumi
    And I'll protect them,
[22:00] Naofumi
    come what may!
