[00:04] Naofumi
    Kizuna, send us back!
[00:07] Kizuna
    Calm down, Naofumi! That's just
     what that Kyo guy wants!
[00:11] Naofumi
    I don't give a shit!
[00:12] Naofumi
    I'd rather fall for whatever trap he's
    set than leave Raphtalia there alone!
[00:24] Kizuna
    It's no good. They've shut
    it off on their side.
[00:28] Naofumi
    That piece of shit!
[00:31] Rishia
    Naofumi-san?
[00:33] Kizuna
    Naofumi, I know someone here who's
    really good at finding people.
[00:37] Kizuna
    If we ask him for help, I'm sure
    he'll find her right away.
[00:40] Kizuna
    So... calm down okay?
[00:41] Man A
    Kizuna-sama?
[00:44] Man B
    It's Kizuna-sama!
[00:49] Kizuna
    Don't worry. They're from Sikul!
[00:52] Kizuna
    They're on our side!
[00:53] Man A
    Welcome home, Kizuna-sama!
[00:55] Kizuna
    I'm home.
[01:01] Kizuna
    Sorry, can you go get Ethnobalt for me?
[01:11] Owner
    Come on!
[01:13] Filo
    No! Let me go!
[01:16] Filo
    Let me go!
[01:22] Owner
    Damn it. The rain's driven
    away all my customers.
[01:35] Owner
    Shut up!
[01:36] Owner
    I was lucky enough to
    find a mutant like you.
[01:38] Owner
    You're going to make me
    a lot of money tomorrow!
SIGN    The Rising of the Shield Hero
SIGN    Episode 9 Humming Fairy
[03:15] Noble A
    They locked our nation's Cardinal Hero,
    Kizuna-sama, in the Infinite Labyrinth?
[03:21] Noble B
    This is a serious act of hostility!
[03:23] Noble A
    We will lodge an official complaint
    with Mikakage immediately!
[03:25] Kizuna
    Yeah, go do that.
[03:28] Noble C
    But how did you escape from
    the Infinite Labyrinth?
[03:33] Kizuna
    It's thanks to them!
[03:37] Noble A
    I see!
[03:39] Noble B
    We can't thank you enough
    for saving our hero!
[03:44] Rishia
    Um, no, it was nothing...
[03:48] Kizuna
    That's Rishia-san.
[03:50] Kizuna
    And this is Iwatani Naofumi.
[03:53] Kizuna
    He's a Cardinal Hero just like me!
[03:56] Kizuna
    From another world, though.
[04:06] Kizuna
    What's wrong, everyone?
[04:07] Noble A
    Kizuna-sama, get away from him.
[04:11] Noble B
    Call the guards!
[04:12] Noble C
    He's come to destroy our world.
[04:15] Kizuna
    Naofumi's here to destroy the world?
[04:21] Kizuna
    That makes no sense!
[04:23] Kizuna
    Naofumi saved my life! How can you say that?
[04:35] Rishia
    Naofumi-san!
[04:36] Kizuna
    Naofumi!
SIGN    Oh, and where might you be going?
[04:50] Kizuna
    Ethnobalt!
SIGN    It's been a long, long time, Kizuna.
SIGN    I keep trying to find you, but I was too slow to find where you were.
[05:01] Naofumi
    Who the hell are you?
SIGN    Are you the one who wants me to find someone,
SIGN    Cardinal Hero from another world?
SIGN    I am Ethnobalt, wielder of the Boat Vassal Weapon.
SIGN    Kizuna, first, take this.
SIGN    He missed you.
[05:21] Kizuna
    Thank you! So you held
    on to him for me, huh?
SIGN    Yes. Glass was keeping him at first, but she's been busy.
[05:35] Kizuna
    Chris!
[05:38] Kizuna
    I'm happy to see you again!
[05:40] Rishia
    K-Kizuna-san, what's that?
[05:44] Kizuna
    Sorry. This is my shikigami, Chris!
[05:49] Rishia
    Shikigami?
[05:52] Kizuna
    Yup.
[05:53] Kizuna
    Glass and I made him.
SIGN    About four days ago, Chris started going crazy.
SIGN    Thinking back, that must have been when you escaped the Infinite Labyrinth.
[06:04] Kizuna
    Yes.
[06:05] Kizuna
    He'll tell us where Glass is, too.
[06:08] Rishia
    I see! That's perfect for finding people!
[06:13] Rishia
    But how do we find Raphtalia-san
    and Filo-chan?
[06:18] Kizuna
    Well, I'll have Naofumi make one, too.
[06:22] Naofumi
    How?
[06:24] Kizuna
    You need the blood of the owner and
    something to function as a shikigami catalyst.
[06:30] Kizuna
    For instance, a single strand of her hair.
[06:36] Naofumi
    Her hair?
[06:38] Naofumi
    I absorbed some into my shield once.
[06:41] Naofumi
    Raphtalia's hair. This is it.
[06:48] Rishia
    That's Raphtalia-san's hair?
[06:52] Kizuna
    And then your blood, Naofumi.
SIGN    Let us begin the ritual to create the shikigami, then.
SIGN    I wish for something to protect them, and give them power.
SIGN    The creation of that which serves as servant and as fragment of their magic.
SIGN    Let a servant that gives protection be born!
SIGN    This is...
[07:22] Rishia
    Wh-What's going on?
SIGN    Nothing... It's manifesting faster than I imagined.
SIGN    To whom does this catalyst belong?
SIGN    Shikigami Shield
[07:35] Naofumi
    Shikigami Shield?
[07:47] Naofumi
    This is a shikigami?
[07:49] Kizuna
    That's right! Nice work, Naofumi!
SIGN    I was worried for a moment. I'm glad it worked, though.
[08:01] Naofumi
    Raphtalia?
[08:03] Kizuna
    Cheer up a bit!
[08:05] Kizuna
    If it worked, that means the person the
    catalyst belongs to is still alive!
[08:10] Rishia
    Then...
[08:12] Kizuna
    Raphtalia-chan is safe!
[08:13] Rishia
    Whew...
[08:17] Rishia
    I-It's cute!
[08:19] Kizuna
    But we don't know how long
    she'll stay safe for.
[08:23] Kizuna
    We need to hurry.
[08:25] Naofumi
    Yeah, I know.
[08:27] Naofumi
    But it's not just Raphtalia.
    There's Filo, too.
[08:30] Naofumi
    We'll find them both.
[08:32] Rishia
    Right!
[08:32] Naofumi
    Ethnobalt, right?
[08:34] Naofumi
    Thank you for creating my shikigami.
SIGN    Not at all. I hope you find your friend soon.
[08:41] Naofumi
    Are you human?
[08:44] Kizuna
    You can tell? You're amazing, Naofumi.
SIGN    No, something just felt off.
SIGN    A rabbit?
[08:56] Kizuna
    Ethnobalt is a descendant
    of a species of monsters
[08:59] Kizuna
    that have protected this
    world for generations.
[09:03] Naofumi
    A descendant of monsters
    that protect this world?
[09:06] Naofumi
    So that's it.
[09:09] Kizuna
    You don't usually show your true form to
    people just after meeting them, though.
SIGN    Strangely, it felt safe to let him see me this way.
[09:21] Kizuna
    Maybe animals just like him?
[09:25] Naofumi
    So, it's not just because
    you can make shikigami
[09:28] Naofumi
    that you're supposedly good
    at finding people, right?
[09:31] Kizuna
    Naofumi...
[09:33] Rishia
    That's just who Naofumi-san is, though.
SIGN    Of course, that's not all.
[09:38] Kizuna
    Ethnobalt is the Boat Vassal Weapon's wielder.
[09:42] Kizuna
    His boat will take us to where the
    person you're looking for is.
[09:45] Naofumi
    You can't use the Return Dragon Vein yet?
[09:48] Kizuna
    No, I can take us anywhere
    that's not locked off.
[09:52] Kizuna
    But his skill is way more amazing than that!
[09:55] Naofumi
    But it's just a ship, right?
SIGN    Let's go someplace else.
[10:12] Rishia
    I-It's floating!
[10:15] Naofumi
    The "boat" was the
    thing he was standing on?
[10:22] Naofumi
    Where is Raphtalia?
[10:25] Kizuna
    Naofumi, you're not going to name it?
[10:28] Naofumi
    A name? Yeah, eventually.
[10:31] Naofumi
    Now, tell me where Raphtalia is.
[10:33] Kizuna
    Hurry up and pick one, okay?
[10:35] Kizuna
    Chris, do you know where Glass is?
[10:42] Rishia
    That's...
[10:44] Naofumi
    They're in the same place?
SIGN    That's not good.
[10:49] Naofumi
    What do you mean?
[10:51] Kizuna
    Raybul.
[10:52] Kizuna
    They're allied with Mikakage, the ones
    that locked me in the Infinite Labyrinth.
[10:56] Kizuna
    And Kazuki, that "genius mage,"
     is from there, too.
[11:01] Naofumi
    An enemy country, then?
[11:03] Naofumi
    You have a lot of those.
[11:05] Kizuna
    I do!
[11:06] Kizuna
    The whole world's been on edge for a while.
[11:09] Kizuna
    A war could start at any time.
[11:12] Rishia
    If they're still there, that means...
[11:15] Kizuna
    It's likely they were captured.
[11:17] Naofumi
    Even if it's a trap, we have to go.
[11:20] Naofumi
    I hope Filo's there, too.
SIGN    I'll warp the ship, then.
[11:24] Rishia
    You can use portals?
SIGN    We can travel fast by riding along the connections between the dragon hourglasses.
[11:32] Kizuna
    And we don't have to register
    with the hourglass first,
[11:34] Kizuna
    or be transported right in front of it.
[11:37] Rishia
    If the hourglass was right in their
    headquarters, that'd be really dangerous.
[11:41] Naofumi
    It's a big improvement over
    Return Dragon Vein.
SIGN    It's all I can do, though.
[11:48] Naofumi
    No, it's more than enough.
[11:50] Kizuna
    Yup! I'm really grateful to Ethnobalt!
SIGN    It was worth waiting for her return.
SIGN    I can finally be of use to her.
[12:01] Onlooker A
    Wow!
[12:02] Onlooker B
    Look!
[12:05] Owner
    Move your wings! Your wings!
[12:15] Owner
    Now sing! Sing!
[12:18] Filo
    Master!
[12:24] Kizuna
    If we showed up right in the sky
    above them, they'd find us immediately.
[12:28] Kizuna
    Let's land outside town and sneak inside.
SIGN    I'll wait for word from you!
SIGN    Stay safe!
[12:42] Naofumi
    It looks like Mikakage,
    but it's a bit more modern.
[12:48] Rishia
    The sun's setting.
[12:50] Kizuna
    What should we do? We can stay at an inn.
[12:52] Naofumi
    We know what direction she's in.
[12:54] Naofumi
    We'll walk all night if we have to.
[12:56] Kizuna
    I agree.
[12:57] Rishia
    I'll do my best, even if I'm sleepy!
[12:59] Kizuna
    I almost forgot! What's this about
    Naofumi destroying the world?
[13:04] Rishia
    What the people at the castle said...
[13:07] Kizuna
    Drat. I was going to ask Ethnobalt.
[13:11] Kizuna
    He said Glass seemed busy, too.
[13:16] Kizuna
    What was she doing in your world?
[13:20] Kizuna
    What's wrong?
[13:23] Naofumi
    I can hear it.
[13:28] Kizuna
    Naofumi!
[13:30] Rishia
    Th-That's the wrong way!
[13:38] Naofumi
    It's not Raphtalia. But that voice...
[13:43] Naofumi
    Is it... Is it...?
[13:52] Kizuna
    What's gotten into you?
[13:55] Owner
    It's the celestial maiden who's
    come down from the heavens!
[13:57] Owner
    We're closed for today,
    but come see her tomorrow!
[14:03] Kizuna
    The celestial maiden...
[14:04] Naofumi
    ...who's come down from the heavens?
[14:07] Rishia
    Is that what he said?
[14:09] Rishia
    Is that...
[14:11] Filo
    No! Help me!
[14:14] Filo
    Rishia-oneechan!
[14:16] Filo
    Raphtalia-oneechan!
[14:19] Background A
    It just makes me feel sick.
[14:21] Filo
    Master!
[14:21] Background B
    Yeah.
[14:23] Owner
    Enough! Take her away!
[14:24] Background A
    Is that "singing"? I don't know what
    she's saying, but it sounds like she's crying.
[14:29] Background B
    I feel bad for her.
[14:32] Naofumi
    Filo...
[14:33] Naofumi
    Filo!
[14:35] Rishia
    No, Naofumi-san!
[14:37] Kizuna
    That's right!
[14:38] Kizuna
    You can't cause a fuss right now!
[14:40] Naofumi
    Let me go. I'm going to go murder
    that shithead where he stands.
[14:42] Rishia
    I want to kill him, too!
[14:44] Rishia
    But calm down!
[14:45] Rishia
    Let's sneak in under cover
    of night and save her!
[14:51] Kizuna
    You're too loud!
[14:53] Kizuna
    I don't think they can understand
    what she's saying, at least.
[14:57] Naofumi
    Yeah. Our priority is to
    get Filo back unharmed.
[15:06] Kizuna
    Is this another trap of Kyo's?
[15:10] Naofumi
    I don't give a shit. I'm sick of this.
[15:12] Naofumi
    We can torture that guy until
    he tells us the truth.
[15:15] Kizuna
    At least say you'll question him.
[15:17] Rishia
    Is there a difference?
[15:19] Kizuna
    No, um...
[15:21] Naofumi
    Let's go.
[15:23] Kizuna
    Those two are kinda scary.
[15:35] Kizuna
    It feels like breaking and
    entering is all I do lately.
[15:39] Naofumi
    It's not like the laws mean anything here.
[15:44] Rishia
    Filo-chan, where are you?
[15:52] Rishia
    Birds?
[16:04] Kizuna
    That's a humming fairy chick.
[16:06] Kizuna
    They're bird monsters that
    are said to be able to sing.
[16:09] Rishia
    It doesn't look like a filolial.
    Let's look somewhere else—
[16:12] Naofumi
    No... Filo!
[16:20] Rishia
    But it's not a filolial...
[16:21] Naofumi
    It's you, right, Filo? Right, Filo?
[16:27] Rishia
    It's really Filo-chan?
[16:28] Naofumi
    What's wrong? You can't transform?
[16:30] Rishia
    Those look like talismans!
[16:33] Kizuna
    Servant talismans.
[16:35] Kizuna
    You usually put one on the monster itself.
[16:38] Naofumi
    He put them on the cage, too, to keep
    her monster crest from working?
[16:42] Rishia
    How awful!
[16:45] Naofumi
    Kizuna, can you cut open the cage?
[16:48] Kizuna
    I can, but I don't know what will
    happen if we destroy the talismans.
[16:52] Naofumi
    If I can use the monster crest...
[16:57] Naofumi
    Filo, hang in there just a little more!
[17:06] Naofumi
    Kizuna, now!
[17:08] Kizuna
    On it!
[17:13] Filo
    Master!
[17:19] Rishia
    Filo-chan... I'm so glad... I'm so glad.
[17:23] Kizuna
    But how did you know that
    humming fairy was her?
[17:27] Naofumi
    She's my dear companion... How could
     I mistake her for anything else?
[17:31] Owner
    What's all this noise?
[17:34] Owner
    You think you can steal my golden
    goose, do you? Criminal!
[17:38] Kizuna
    Who's the criminal here?
[17:41] Kizuna
    Now you're in for it!
[17:50] Voice A
    Sing.
[17:51] Voice B
    Get moving!
[17:53] Voice C
    Sing for us!
[18:04] Kizuna
    That shield's power is amazing.
[18:09] Kizuna
    After he confessed everything,
    it kind of... broke him.
[18:14] Kizuna
    His mind, I mean.
[18:15] Naofumi
    So he was just the son of a noble,
    making some money off a sideshow?
[18:20] Kizuna
    He said his dad found Filo-chan unconscious.
[18:26] Naofumi
    It may have been Kyo who
    gave her to his father.
[18:31] Kizuna
    He really is a piece of shit.
[18:33] Kizuna
    How could he do that to a cute
    little crybaby like her?
[18:36] Naofumi
    She's normally full of
    energy and never cries.
[18:41] Kizuna
    But she's a... filolial, was it?
[18:44] Kizuna
    Why did she become a humming
    fairy in this world?
[18:47] Naofumi
    If filolial don't exist in this world,
[18:50] Naofumi
    she may have been assigned a similar race.
[18:53] Naofumi
    The reason she was still able
    to transform into a human
[18:56] Naofumi
    might be that she has a unique
    power as a future filolial queen.
[19:10] Filo
    Master?
[19:12] Naofumi
    What?
[19:14] Filo
    You won't disappear again, will you?
[19:25] Naofumi
    I won't. I'm with both of you forever.
[19:39] Filo
    No!
[19:40] Filo
    Master is my master!
[19:43] Kizuna
    She's gotten better, but now,
    she's not leaving Naofumi's side.
[19:47] Rishia
    She must've been really scared.
[19:50] Filo
    Master, who's this?
[19:52] Filo
    Smells like Raphtalia-oneechan...
[19:55] Naofumi
    It's a shikigami made
    from Raphtalia's hair.
[19:58] Naofumi
    It's been here since yesterday.
[20:01] Filo
    You can be Raph-chan, then!
[20:04] All
    Raph-chan?
[20:08] Naofumi
    Well, if it's okay with that.
[20:11] Kizuna
    Hey. I've been here since yesterday, too.
[20:14] Kizuna
    I'm Kazayama Kizuna!
[20:15] Kizuna
    This is Chris, my shikigami!
[20:18] Filo
    Kizuna-oneechan and Chris!
[20:20] Kizuna
    Onee-chan...
[20:21] Kizuna
    Naofumi, Filo-chan's a good girl, isn't she?
[20:24] Naofumi
    "Kizuna-chan" should be good enough, right?
[20:26] Kizuna
    Naofumi...
[20:27] Man D
    You're not safe anywhere these days.
[20:33] Naofumi
    People might already be talking
    about what happened yesterday.
[20:36] Naofumi
    Filo, hide.
[20:42] Rishia
    What does it say?
[20:44] Kizuna
    It's about Filo.
[20:46] Kizuna
    It was too dark for them to make out
    any real description of us, though.
[20:51] Naofumi
    Lucky she was able to become smaller.
[20:54] Kizuna
    It also says...
[20:56] Kizuna
    This one looks worse.
[20:58] Kizuna
    The Wielder of the Katana Vassal Weapon
    was found, but escaped.
[21:02] Kizuna
    The nation's doing everything
    it can to find them.
[21:04] Naofumi
    Katana Vassal Weapon Wielder?
[21:06] Naofumi
    What does it matter if—
[21:09] Naofumi
    What?
[21:10] Rishia
    What's wrong?
[21:12] Naofumi
    No...
[21:14] Naofumi
    Raphtalia's stats disappeared!
[21:18] Kizuna
    Why?
[21:19] Naofumi
    I don't know.
[21:20] Naofumi
    Something suddenly felt "wrong," and then...
[21:22] Rishia
    No...
[21:24] Naofumi
    Could Kyo have...
[21:28] Naofumi
    If this thing's still here, then...
[21:31] Kizuna
    Raphtalia-chan should still be safe!
[21:34] Naofumi
    Then why is the slave crest...
[21:38] Naofumi
    Raphtalia...
[23:17] Soldier
    Hurry up, and get out.
[23:22] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama...
[23:29] Soldier
    This way!
