1
00:00:24,209 --> 00:00:28,918
Oh, so you've found a new Queen candidate?
2
00:00:32,334 --> 00:00:35,709
And she's come quite close to us?
3
00:00:36,626 --> 00:00:39,918
Then I have to go see her.
4
00:00:57,584 --> 00:01:01,375
"The Rising of the Shield Hero"
5
00:02:11,542 --> 00:02:13,626
Give Lord Van back!
"Episode 16: The Filolial Queen"
6
00:02:13,667 --> 00:02:15,501
"Episode 16: The Filolial Queen"
7
00:02:21,751 --> 00:02:23,542
Stay away!
8
00:02:26,876 --> 00:02:28,584
We can't stay here.
9
00:02:28,626 --> 00:02:29,709
We're getting out of here!
10
00:02:29,709 --> 00:02:30,209
Right!
11
00:02:45,626 --> 00:02:46,709
Are you all right?
12
00:02:47,209 --> 00:02:48,999
Yes, I should be.
13
00:02:49,876 --> 00:02:54,918
That noble unleashed an ancient monster
just to defeat Naofumi?!
14
00:02:55,209 --> 00:02:56,459
You're telling me.
15
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,918
Keel!
16
00:03:00,459 --> 00:03:01,876
Raphtalia...
17
00:03:04,626 --> 00:03:06,667
So what to do now-
18
00:03:08,501 --> 00:03:09,292
Wha-
19
00:03:10,501 --> 00:03:11,959
Why is it here?!
20
00:03:16,626 --> 00:03:19,375
Damn... If it attacks us right now...
21
00:03:20,584 --> 00:03:21,709
You stupid...
22
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:23,459
Filo!
23
00:03:29,125 --> 00:03:32,083
You're going to fight it here?!
We're in the middle of town!
24
00:03:32,125 --> 00:03:33,501
I know!
25
00:03:33,501 --> 00:03:35,501
We need to lead it out of town first!
26
00:03:35,542 --> 00:03:37,709
But how?
27
00:03:47,501 --> 00:03:48,626
Look, Naofumi!
28
00:03:48,792 --> 00:03:49,792
What?
29
00:03:49,792 --> 00:03:51,375
Look at Filo's belly.
30
00:03:53,667 --> 00:03:55,042
And look at the monster's too.
31
00:03:55,501 --> 00:03:57,542
That monster might be chasing after...
32
00:03:58,125 --> 00:03:59,459
Filo?
33
00:03:59,709 --> 00:04:00,626
Yes.
34
00:04:00,626 --> 00:04:04,000
Then we might be able to lead it out of town.
35
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
But...
36
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,417
Don't worry about them.
37
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:09,709
I'll escape with them in tow.
38
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,209
Thanks. We're counting on you.
39
00:04:13,125 --> 00:04:14,209
Raphtalia.
40
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,709
Hey, Raphtalia...
41
00:04:21,751 --> 00:04:26,834
You're part of
the Shield Hero's party, right?
42
00:04:27,459 --> 00:04:28,209
Yes.
43
00:04:29,876 --> 00:04:31,209
Then you have to go.
44
00:04:34,042 --> 00:04:36,083
I'll be fine.
45
00:04:37,501 --> 00:04:38,292
Go.
46
00:04:40,209 --> 00:04:41,209
Keel...
47
00:04:42,334 --> 00:04:43,626
Don't worry.
48
00:04:44,375 --> 00:04:46,709
We'll meet with them first.
49
00:04:47,167 --> 00:04:48,125
Open the gates!
50
00:04:48,125 --> 00:04:49,292
Lord Van!
51
00:04:53,918 --> 00:04:55,000
I understand.
52
00:04:56,501 --> 00:04:58,125
Take care of Keel for me.
53
00:04:58,876 --> 00:04:59,959
Of course.
54
00:05:01,042 --> 00:05:01,709
Filo!
55
00:05:03,167 --> 00:05:04,584
Coming!
56
00:05:05,792 --> 00:05:07,083
Be careful.
57
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,876
Yes.
58
00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:14,918
We'll see each other again soon.
59
00:05:17,459 --> 00:05:18,417
Let's go!
60
00:05:18,834 --> 00:05:19,292
Yes!
61
00:05:19,709 --> 00:05:21,125
Roger!
62
00:05:32,834 --> 00:05:33,959
Run away!
63
00:05:39,667 --> 00:05:41,167
Filo, that way!
64
00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:42,876
Got it!
65
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:54,834
Looks like it really is chasing after Filo.
66
00:05:55,250 --> 00:05:56,125
Yeah.
67
00:05:57,834 --> 00:06:00,667
I'm sorry. That bracelet...
68
00:06:01,417 --> 00:06:04,584
That's yours, Raphtalia.
You do what you want with it.
69
00:06:17,751 --> 00:06:19,459
How far are we going?
70
00:06:19,501 --> 00:06:21,042
As far as we can!
71
00:06:38,417 --> 00:06:39,918
We're almost out of the forest.
72
00:06:48,167 --> 00:06:49,501
This might work.
73
00:06:53,501 --> 00:06:54,751
Are you ready?
74
00:06:55,292 --> 00:06:56,999
I can fight at any time.
75
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,042
I'm ready!
76
00:07:03,292 --> 00:07:05,125
Air Strike Shield!
77
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,876
Zweit Aqua Slash!
78
00:07:33,542 --> 00:07:34,626
It didn't cut?!
79
00:07:35,334 --> 00:07:38,459
It's not very quick, but it's way too tough!
80
00:07:38,501 --> 00:07:40,417
Master! Platform!
81
00:07:44,167 --> 00:07:45,334
Air Strike Shield!
82
00:07:49,459 --> 00:07:50,999
Second Shield!
83
00:08:00,918 --> 00:08:02,209
It isn't working?!
84
00:08:02,918 --> 00:08:04,167
One more time!
85
00:08:18,292 --> 00:08:19,375
Master Naofumi!
86
00:08:20,292 --> 00:08:21,751
I'm fine! Do it!
87
00:08:22,209 --> 00:08:23,125
Yes!
88
00:08:25,250 --> 00:08:28,083
Our stamina has its limits too...
89
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:31,542
Do I have to use the Rage Shield?
90
00:08:32,542 --> 00:08:33,542
No.
91
00:08:33,542 --> 00:08:34,542
Wha-
92
00:08:34,834 --> 00:08:37,709
Naofumi, something strange is in the air!
93
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:44,667
This is... a magic mist?
94
00:08:44,876 --> 00:08:46,751
It's an extremely advanced barrier.
95
00:08:47,042 --> 00:08:50,125
A barrier? And we're stuck inside?
96
00:08:53,501 --> 00:08:54,584
Something's coming!
97
00:09:00,334 --> 00:09:01,834
Filolials?!
98
00:09:12,626 --> 00:09:13,999
What's going on?!
99
00:09:29,709 --> 00:09:30,876
Damn!
100
00:09:32,501 --> 00:09:34,792
"Caution - Locked due to interference.
Cannot use."
101
00:09:36,167 --> 00:09:38,876
I don't want you to rely on that power.
102
00:09:39,709 --> 00:09:40,792
Who's there?!
103
00:10:04,501 --> 00:10:05,542
Wha-
104
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:19,792
It can't be...
105
00:10:19,792 --> 00:10:21,667
A filolial queen?!
106
00:10:21,709 --> 00:10:23,250
She's so cool...
107
00:10:24,626 --> 00:10:26,000
Stand back.
108
00:10:29,751 --> 00:10:34,417
It appears it wasn't fit for the
Dragon King Fragment, so it grew very large.
109
00:10:35,125 --> 00:10:39,834
If you give me that Fragment,
I will not take your life.
110
00:10:40,167 --> 00:10:41,584
Leave at once.
111
00:10:45,667 --> 00:10:46,626
Look out!
112
00:10:47,751 --> 00:10:49,125
Every time...
113
00:11:03,334 --> 00:11:04,501
Weak.
114
00:11:09,417 --> 00:11:11,292
I'll end it quickly.
115
00:11:33,375 --> 00:11:37,000
The Shield Hero, if I'm right.
116
00:11:37,959 --> 00:11:39,250
Yeah.
117
00:11:39,834 --> 00:11:42,501
I have much to speak about with you,
118
00:11:42,501 --> 00:11:44,751
but this form is rather rude.
119
00:11:44,999 --> 00:11:46,375
Give me a moment.
120
00:12:02,417 --> 00:12:04,417
Allow me to introduce myself.
121
00:12:05,209 --> 00:12:09,417
I rule over all the world's filolials
as their Queen.
122
00:12:11,083 --> 00:12:13,125
"The Rising of the Shield Hero"
Fitoria.
123
00:12:13,125 --> 00:12:14,959
"The Rising of the Shield Hero"
124
00:12:14,999 --> 00:12:16,459
Fitoria?
125
00:12:16,542 --> 00:12:17,999
You mean...
126
00:12:18,334 --> 00:12:19,459
You know who she is?
127
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,834
Yes. She's a legendary filolial who was
raised by a Hero in ancient times.
128
00:12:25,834 --> 00:12:31,042
In ancient times?
So she's inherited her name?
129
00:12:31,042 --> 00:12:33,999
My name has always been Fitoria.
130
00:12:34,709 --> 00:12:38,209
Will I be that big one day too?
131
00:12:38,209 --> 00:12:40,792
If you get that big,
I'm not keeping you.
132
00:12:40,792 --> 00:12:41,792
You'll be on your own.
133
00:12:42,626 --> 00:12:49,334
Relax. It takes several tens of generations
for a filolial to grow this big.
134
00:12:49,334 --> 00:12:50,292
What?!
135
00:12:50,834 --> 00:12:53,709
So she's lived for that long?
136
00:12:54,167 --> 00:12:57,792
Now, Shield Hero party, introduce yourselves.
137
00:12:58,459 --> 00:12:59,792
I'm Naofumi Iwatani.
138
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:01,125
Yes.
139
00:13:01,167 --> 00:13:04,375
My name is Raphtalia. Pleased to meet you.
140
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:05,792
As am I.
141
00:13:05,792 --> 00:13:08,125
My name is Filo!
142
00:13:11,999 --> 00:13:16,292
We met once before.
Thank you very much for your help.
143
00:13:16,334 --> 00:13:20,209
Yes. My name is Melty Melromarc.
Pleased to see you again.
144
00:13:20,459 --> 00:13:22,167
Then you're Melly.
145
00:13:22,751 --> 00:13:24,125
Already?!
146
00:13:24,542 --> 00:13:26,417
You've met each other before?
147
00:13:26,417 --> 00:13:30,667
Yes. I met her while traveling from
another kingdom back to the castle.
148
00:13:30,709 --> 00:13:33,501
So it wasn't your first time getting lost...
149
00:13:34,209 --> 00:13:38,501
Now then, thank you for
beating that monster for us.
150
00:13:38,542 --> 00:13:39,999
What do you want with us?
151
00:13:40,209 --> 00:13:44,584
I would like to explain the reason,
but we can't speak at ease here.
152
00:13:44,584 --> 00:13:46,626
We will go somewhere else. This way.
153
00:13:48,626 --> 00:13:50,501
No, before that...
154
00:13:52,334 --> 00:13:55,042
The Four Cardinal Heroes
should not put anything
155
00:13:55,042 --> 00:13:56,667
from dragons into their weapons.
156
00:13:57,083 --> 00:13:59,501
They're valuable materials
for strengthening my shield.
157
00:14:00,292 --> 00:14:03,501
I also sense a dark power in the Shield.
158
00:14:04,667 --> 00:14:08,834
Cursed weapons are indeed powerful,
but they come at a great cost.
159
00:14:08,834 --> 00:14:09,999
You must not use them.
160
00:14:10,542 --> 00:14:12,876
I can control it just fine. It's fine.
161
00:14:13,292 --> 00:14:15,459
One day, you won't be able to.
162
00:14:15,626 --> 00:14:20,709
But I need the dragon parts and
the Rage Shield in order to survive.
163
00:14:22,292 --> 00:14:24,417
I see. Then do as you will.
164
00:14:29,834 --> 00:14:31,417
I guess that's it.
165
00:14:32,042 --> 00:14:33,959
Are you done yet?
166
00:14:33,959 --> 00:14:35,125
Yeah.
167
00:14:35,125 --> 00:14:36,042
The rest-
168
00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:38,876
I'll have my servants bring it with them.
169
00:14:39,292 --> 00:14:40,542
Thank you.
170
00:14:41,209 --> 00:14:42,626
Into the carriage.
171
00:14:42,626 --> 00:14:45,167
We have much to speak about once we arrive.
172
00:14:47,709 --> 00:14:48,751
Portal.
173
00:14:55,501 --> 00:14:57,334
What was that just now?!
174
00:14:57,334 --> 00:14:59,667
We were transported in an instant?
175
00:15:00,792 --> 00:15:02,250
Amazing...
176
00:15:03,375 --> 00:15:04,667
Some ruins?
177
00:15:05,125 --> 00:15:07,000
They seem very old.
178
00:15:07,334 --> 00:15:09,375
It's all broken.
179
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:14,250
They call them the remains of
the kingdom that the First Heroes defended.
180
00:15:14,250 --> 00:15:15,999
That's pretty vague.
181
00:15:16,709 --> 00:15:19,167
They existed before I was born.
182
00:15:19,167 --> 00:15:20,959
I watch over them now.
183
00:15:21,959 --> 00:15:24,542
Is this a sanctuary for filolials?
184
00:15:24,542 --> 00:15:28,626
Yes. I'm not supposed
to bring humans here often.
185
00:15:28,667 --> 00:15:30,167
Wow...
186
00:15:30,667 --> 00:15:33,709
Then this place should be mostly safe.
187
00:15:37,083 --> 00:15:40,584
You should have some rest
before anything else.
188
00:15:42,125 --> 00:15:44,042
Then let's have a rest.
189
00:15:44,042 --> 00:15:45,584
Yay!
190
00:15:45,584 --> 00:15:48,209
It's been a very long day.
191
00:15:49,334 --> 00:15:52,292
I hope Keel is all right.
192
00:15:52,292 --> 00:15:55,834
Van and the other demi-humans
are with him. He'll be fine.
193
00:15:55,834 --> 00:15:57,209
Yes, you're right.
194
00:15:57,834 --> 00:15:59,459
Let's have something to eat first.
195
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:01,167
You're all hungry, right?
196
00:16:12,083 --> 00:16:13,959
Time to eat!
197
00:16:16,834 --> 00:16:18,709
It's a little...
198
00:16:19,834 --> 00:16:21,792
...hard to eat right now...
199
00:16:22,667 --> 00:16:24,042
Well, same here.
200
00:16:25,083 --> 00:16:26,584
It's good, right?
201
00:16:26,584 --> 00:16:27,667
It's good.
202
00:16:27,834 --> 00:16:29,999
They're almost like sisters.
203
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,667
Yeah. The way they get food
all over is the same too.
204
00:16:33,250 --> 00:16:35,584
Um... Master Naofumi?
205
00:16:42,125 --> 00:16:45,042
Okay, fine! I'll make some for you!
206
00:16:45,584 --> 00:16:48,375
Get me some big pots
and a ton of ingredients!
207
00:16:56,292 --> 00:16:59,959
Why'd I have to feed all of them too?
208
00:17:02,209 --> 00:17:03,250
What now?
209
00:17:03,834 --> 00:17:05,250
We're out of dinner.
210
00:17:05,709 --> 00:17:09,167
I know. It seems a good time to talk.
211
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,501
I want to know why that
monster was unleashed.
212
00:17:20,501 --> 00:17:23,083
I thought you came to save us
because you knew.
213
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,834
I came because there was a report
of a new Queen candidate.
214
00:17:29,459 --> 00:17:32,792
Queen candidate? You mean Filo?
215
00:17:33,083 --> 00:17:34,125
Yes.
216
00:17:34,167 --> 00:17:35,959
Can I ask a question?
217
00:17:35,959 --> 00:17:36,876
What?
218
00:17:37,584 --> 00:17:42,584
Why is Filo growing in an
obviously different way from other filolials?
219
00:17:43,083 --> 00:17:44,042
Because...
220
00:17:47,083 --> 00:17:48,999
...a Hero is raising her.
221
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,417
Now tell me, why was the monster unleashed?
222
00:18:03,959 --> 00:18:05,501
What now?
223
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:07,083
I am dismayed.
224
00:18:07,083 --> 00:18:09,501
Waves are yet approaching,
225
00:18:09,501 --> 00:18:12,667
yet the Four Cardinal Heroes
decide to have petty quarrels.
226
00:18:12,709 --> 00:18:14,792
They're the ones doing it.
227
00:18:15,292 --> 00:18:19,542
I understand that the Shield Hero is
hated by demi-human intolerant kingdoms.
228
00:18:19,999 --> 00:18:23,667
Then you understand that
we need to cross the border into-
229
00:18:23,709 --> 00:18:25,501
That will not solve the problem.
230
00:18:26,459 --> 00:18:27,709
Face it.
231
00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:30,959
Humans and demi-humans
may quarrel as they will,
232
00:18:30,999 --> 00:18:33,417
but Heroes may not quarrel
amongst themselves.
233
00:18:42,792 --> 00:18:46,667
Do the Four Cardinal Heroes
know about the Hourglasses?
234
00:18:47,292 --> 00:18:49,709
You mean the Dragon Hourglasses?
235
00:18:49,709 --> 00:18:51,125
We know about them.
236
00:18:51,542 --> 00:18:55,083
Then why don't they repel the Waves
in the rest of the world?
237
00:18:56,375 --> 00:19:01,999
Wait, do you mean that Waves are happening
in places other than Melromarc?
238
00:19:02,834 --> 00:19:07,000
Each kingdom is supposed to summon
one of the Four Cardinal Heroes
239
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,459
to defend itself from the Waves.
240
00:19:09,125 --> 00:19:11,292
This is the first I've heard that.
241
00:19:11,876 --> 00:19:14,417
I am repelling them
where I am asked to do so.
242
00:19:14,417 --> 00:19:18,125
But the Four Cardinal Heroes are
not repelling them elsewhere.
243
00:19:18,125 --> 00:19:21,834
I only just learned that other kingdoms
have Hourglasses too.
244
00:19:22,042 --> 00:19:25,959
Honestly, I don't care what
happens to you humans.
245
00:19:25,959 --> 00:19:29,876
I fight because the Hero who
raised me wished that I do so.
246
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:32,626
Because that Hero wished...
247
00:19:32,667 --> 00:19:35,792
My duty is to defend this world.
248
00:19:36,542 --> 00:19:39,959
Humans don't matter. She's saving the world?
249
00:19:40,542 --> 00:19:43,209
But if I fight alone...
250
00:19:43,209 --> 00:19:45,167
Without a Hero, I won't be able to.
251
00:19:45,667 --> 00:19:48,792
You seem far stronger than any of us.
252
00:19:49,375 --> 00:19:50,751
For now, yes.
253
00:19:51,209 --> 00:19:52,501
But eventually...
254
00:19:54,417 --> 00:19:55,876
I won't be strong enough.
255
00:19:58,417 --> 00:20:01,083
That's why you need the Heroes?
256
00:20:01,501 --> 00:20:02,959
Precisely.
257
00:20:12,709 --> 00:20:14,292
Around here?
258
00:20:14,459 --> 00:20:15,876
I think so.
259
00:20:27,209 --> 00:20:31,417
The Three Heroes Church
is definitely hiding something.
260
00:20:32,999 --> 00:20:35,417
So it's just as Naofumi said...
261
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,667
A library?
262
00:20:47,918 --> 00:20:49,167
We'll have to read.
263
00:20:55,334 --> 00:20:57,167
Unnecessary prying...
264
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,250
You mean make peace with them?
265
00:21:01,709 --> 00:21:04,417
The Heroes must work together.
266
00:21:04,834 --> 00:21:08,000
That is necessary to defend this world.
267
00:21:08,459 --> 00:21:09,876
Not happening.
268
00:21:09,918 --> 00:21:13,375
They're-the kingdom
is trying to get rid of me.
269
00:21:13,667 --> 00:21:16,000
I've heard some of the circumstances.
270
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,667
But the Heroes must not
quarrel amongst themselves.
271
00:21:19,042 --> 00:21:20,792
You're really fixated on that.
272
00:21:21,250 --> 00:21:24,042
Because that is all that I can't accept.
273
00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:28,709
They have no intention of getting along
with me. There's nothing I can do.
274
00:21:29,501 --> 00:21:30,792
Nothing at all?
275
00:21:31,667 --> 00:21:32,626
Yeah.
276
00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:36,876
I see. Then there's nothing I can do.
277
00:21:39,042 --> 00:21:41,792
It was a very long time ago.
278
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,250
My memories are faded and unclear.
279
00:21:44,918 --> 00:21:47,709
But I do remember that this is right.
280
00:21:49,209 --> 00:21:51,667
The Waves are bringing about catastrophe.
281
00:21:52,459 --> 00:21:55,125
If the Heroes are quarreling
amongst themselves, then...
282
00:22:00,042 --> 00:22:01,834
for the sake of this world,
283
00:22:02,292 --> 00:22:04,167
I will kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.
284
00:23:36,459 --> 00:23:40,209
