Stop!

A week has passed since the battle in the mine.

Get back here!

The Shield has gained more skills and forms than I care to count.

But I was careless

and took some damage.

Master Naofumi!

Shield Prison!

It's almost time for the Wave.

It's about time we bought new equipment.

Master Naofumi!

We've done it!

Really, I nearly didn't recognize you.

You've grown into a fine young lady.

I haven't seen you around lately. What have you been up to?

I asked the caretaker at the inn to teach me table manners.

I wanted to eat properly like Master Naofumi.

I see.

She's grown up so fast.

Who would guess she's the runt from the other day?

You think so?

Oh, so you're a bit of a dull nail, are you, kid?

I'm surprised as well.

I didn't think this was a country of pedophiles.

You're a cute one, little lady!

Have another on the house!

I understand that little girls can be cute, but...

Have this one too!

Well...

Why does everyone...

Hey, kid.

You do know, right? That Demi-Humans--

Mister!

We came here today to buy new equipment for Master Naofumi!

Is there anything you would recommend?

What are you talking about?

We're here to buy equipment for you--

I'm grateful that we are, but you need to think about yourself first!

Did you forget that you were injured in the field?

Sure, but you need a new weapon--

Master Naofumi,

if you don't stop joking around,

you might just die.

Mister, this sword looks like it cuts very well.

It's a magic iron sword. Care to try it?

Will you give us a good price?

Since you're asking, girl, I'll give you a discount.

Thank you very much!

Oh, could you also show us some armor as well?

Of course.

I don't know whether to call her bold or cheeky.

Could we keep it under 180 silver?

Then...

How about this armor?

Right... That's definitely not happening.

Well, I wouldn't be able to see you in it.

Then I can have one made-to-order for you, kid.

Made-to-order?

Yes, with the materials I have right now, I can have it ready by tomorrow...

Yes, please.

He was so nice to give us the sword as a bonus.

Yes.

The weapons shop man really is a nice person.

I don't know about that.

That wasn't me!

It was me.

Your order?

I'll have the cheapest meal you've got.

She'll have a kids' meal.

Master Naofumi! I am not a child anymore!

Give me the cheapest meal as well!

Yes, ma'am...

You don't need to try to act mature.

I'm not acting!

Doesn't this totally make me look like a bad guy?

It's fabulous!

It looks wonderful on you! It's fabulous!

I call it "Barbarian Armor."

You're looking pretty sharp, like a bandit.

I'm supposed to be a Hero.

It's lovely!

Well, you did make it for me. I guess I have to equip it.

The mood in the city has become very tense.

The Wave is coming soon, after all.

If we knew when and where it was going to happen,

we could come up with a plan.

Wait, did they never tell you, kid?

What?

There's a big hourglass in the church near the city square.

When the sand in the hourglass finishes falling,

the Heroes and their companions get teleported to where the Wave is happening.

This way.

So this is the Dragon Hourglass that the King was talking about?

Is this the time left until the Wave?

Is that you, Naofumi?

Hey. You're still using equipment like that?

Master Naofumi, who are these people?

Hey. Sir Motoyasu is speaking to you.

How do you do?

I am the Spear Hero, Motoyasu Kitamura.

Hero?

-You're cute! -What?

Sir Motoyasu, you should not be associating with Demi-Human trash.

A cute girl like you should not be holding a sword.

I will defend you.

Excuse me, but I am set on fighting alongside Master Naofumi.

With Naofumi?

You can't do that!

If you're with him, you'll be in danger of being...

What? It's true, isn't it?

Let's go.

I'm sure you know the rumors about Naofumi.

What rumors?

See you at the Wave.

Don't get in my way.

MEDICINAL HERB CREATION HAS FAILED

Well...

What?

Did something happen between you and the other Heroes?

You don't need to know.

Master Naofumi...

I...

I'll be going to bed now.

Good night.

It's not like anyone will believe me even if I tell the truth.

THE DAY OF THE WAVE OF CATASTROPHE

Master Naofumi.

What is it?

Well...

I...

I'm glad that I met you, Master Naofumi.

You cured my illness and gave me warm meals.

You taught me and showed me how to live.

It won't bring your parents back.

But you can save others from going through the same experiences as you.

And you gave me a reason to fight.

A reason to stand up and face the Waves.

I am your sword.

I will go wherever you may go.

I see.

Where are we?

So that's...

a Wave of Catastrophe?

It's them!

Raphtalia, let's go!

Master Naofumi! Look there!

It's Lute Village!

Have the villagers been evacuated?

A signal?

They're letting the knights know where it is, and that's it?

The castle isn't far from here,

but by the time the knights arrive, the village will be destroyed.

Let's go!

To Lute Village!

Yes!

Are you all right?

Raphtalia, you lead the villagers to safety!

What about you, Master Naofumi?

I'll...

I'll draw the monsters' attention.

It's the Hero!

The Shield Hero is here!

Listen up, people!

I'll draw the monsters' attention! You all get to safety!

Save me!

Air Strike Shield!

Hurry up and run!

Shield Prison!

Damn it.

Over here, you zombies!

Get up and follow me!

Why am I risking my life to protect people I don't even know?

I must be stupid.

Everyone! This way!

Hurry!

I knew taking on this many was going to be tough.

How do I minimize the damage to the village?

Air Strike Shield!

Stay away!

Damn! Stay away!

Stop!

Damn. It doesn't look like it's stopping any time soon.

What the hell are they doing?

Hurry up and...

Did that do it?

Hero!

You...

Why?

We changed our minds after seeing you heroically defending our village.

This is our village.

We can't just run away.

We will fight with you!

Understood.

Help me maintain the battle line until everyone has evacuated.

Yes.

Die, you monster!

He's too much for you!

All of you, fall back!

But...

You have families, don't you?

Don't waste your lives here!

Master Naofumi!

Raphtalia?

It's yours!

Good work.

Amazing.

Leave the village to us. Please hurry to safety.

Yes.

We pray for your safety.

Now, then...

Their numbers aren't decreasing.

What do we do?

What's that?

Raphtalia!

We've burned them all to death in one fell swoop!

The Shield Hero?

You managed to survive?

Us along with them?

Did you know that Master Naofumi was here?

Your answer determines your fate!

Draw.

A friend of the Shield Hero?

I am Master Naofumi's sword! You will not insult him!

Demi-Human trash!

Are you challenging a royal order of knights?

You ignored the plight of your own people! You dare call yourself a knight?

Raphtalia, that's enough.

But...

Stop.

That's right.

Be good, and maybe we won't slay you by mistake.

Yes, you're right.

Being good and watching you become some monsters' dinner

doesn't sound so bad!

Men! Don't panic!

Formation!

How about an honorable death in battle?

-Raphtalia! -Yes!

Listen up! We'll buy you time!

Reassume your formation in that time!

Raphtalia.

-Let's go. -Yes!

We'll leave this to the Shield and join the other three Heroes!

Now!

We will assist the Shield Hero!

Assume phalanx!

-Phalanx assumed! -Phalanx assumed!

Charge!

Master Naofumi!

The knights...

Damn it. Let's go!

Wind Arrow!

Crimson Blade!

I'll finish it!

Take this!

Lightning Spear!

Naofumi, the sky...

Well, I guess that's it.

The boss was an easy win.

Yes. The next Wave should be easy enough as well.

Oh, right, where's Naofumi?

It's a good thing he wasn't here.

He would just be a burden on you.

You're right.

Heroes!

Very well done!

The knights?

You don't have to come if you're going to be late.

Agreed.

Well, now, we hope you are not so short with us.

The King has prepared a reward for you.

Come, let us take you to him!

Master Naofumi.

All of the monsters in the village have been defeated.

I see.

Have we won this fight?

Hero!

Thank you for saving us.

Without you, Shield Hero, none of us would be here.

I didn't do anything to help.

No,

you were here, and so we survived.

You have our eternal gratitude.

Whatever you say.

They thanked you.

Yes, they did.

We've reduced the number of people who will end up like me.

Yes.

I...

You did a good job.

I killed a lot of monsters.

Yes.
