Heroes! You have done well in your deeds!

Tonight, we hold a feast in your honor!

We pray you'll enjoy it to your heart's content!

Only the best from our Heroes!

Our country's safety is guaranteed!

A feast? For what?

I wouldn't be here if there weren't a reward.

I hear only a few men were lost or injured in this Wave!

The Heroes truly are great!

I gave not an inch in the face of a giant monster,

fighting with the pride and honor of the Order...

Liar.

I am honored to meet you, Spear Hero.

Is there a lady in your heart?

Well...

Sir Motoyasu is weary from the day.

Excuse me!

Sir Motoyasu.

Master Naofumi,

aren't you hungry at all?

They've prepared a very fancy feast.

Go eat if you want to.

Come join me, Master Naofumi--

I don't care about it.

SPECIFIED PERSONS AND ITEMS ARE TRANSPORTED WHEN SUMMONED.

Transporting people?

If only I knew this earlier...

Let's eat this together.

Please, have a bite, Master Naofumi.

No, I'm--

It's very good.

Isn't it?

Naofumi.

A duel.

I heard that the girl with you, Raphtalia, is your slave.

What?

So what if she is?

You...

Raphtalia is my slave. So what?

Look here. People do not enslave other people.

What's the big deal?

This country hasn't illegalized slavery.

We're Heroes!

Heroes can't own slaves! It's wrong!

That's what you think.

I think differently.

A duel!

If I win, you will release Raphtalia.

And what will you do if I win?

If you win,

you can continue doing whatever you want.

Not even worth considering.

Master Naofumi!

Taking a slave into your party?

You've fallen as far as anyone can.

We have heard the circumstances.

To think that a Hero would use a Demi-Human as a slave.

So the Shield Hero is indeed a criminal.

We shall acknowledge this duel!

There is no need for that.

I am fighting alongside Master Naofumi of my own will--

What do you think you're doing?

Pitiful girl.

You must have been cursed to side with your master.

Do not fret.

When Sir Motoyasu defeats him, your curse will be lifted immediately.

Hey! Will you stop this!

Draw!

If you do not accept, we shall confiscate your slave.

You don't intend to run away, do you?

You bastard!

If I win, you'll return Raphtalia to me.

How does the Shield Hero plan on winning?

In a moment, the Spear Hero shall engage the Shield Hero in a duel!

Victory shall be decided

when one Hero's blade is in position to cut the other.

Hero accepts his defeat!

LEGENDARY WEAPON RESTRICTION CANNOT WIELD OTHER WEAPONS

Furthermore, this duel shall be

presided over by His Majesty, the King of Melromarc,

and His Holiness, the Pope.

It shall be officially recognized!

Sir Motoyasu! Best of luck!

Wasn't there a story about which would win

if the strongest spear and shield fought?

Naofumi, admit your defeat at once.

Ready!

Begin!

So you blocked it?

I guess you're not the Shield Hero for nothing.

You lose.

If this were a contest between the strongest spear and shield,

the fact that your spear didn't pierce my shield

means that you lose!

THE BATTLE WITH NAOFUMI HAS BEGUN

Chaos Spear!

USED RANDOM SLASH

Damn!

The Shield's attack couldn't possibly...

That hurts!

Why?

A Balloon?

Why is there a Balloon here?

Dirty... What are you trying to pull?

Since I can't possibly win, I thought maybe I'd have a little fun.

Damn it!

Fight a clean, fair duel, damn it!

TWO-HEADED BLACK DOG SHIELD EFFECT: DOG BITE

Get off me!

Air Strike Shield!

Shield Prison!

Hey! Quit it!

Damn it! It stings like a...

-It hurts! -Unbelievable...

-Could the Shield actually win this? -You coward!

Naofumi has the advantage.

Yes.

How could the Shield do this to the honorable Spear Hero?

How dare he violate the sanctity of a duel?

Hurry up and admit your defeat.

Do you want to keep making a fool of yourself, pretty boy?

I'll never admit defeat to you!

Is that right?

Then should I focus on attacking your face and family jewels?

I'm a dirty coward, after all!

No, don't!

Magic?

That woman!

Damn you!

Lightning Spear!

I win.

Get back here.

Someone interfered in our one-on-one duel.

This duel is void.

What?

One of your party members interfered with the duel!

Making excuses because you lost?

No!

Everyone here must have seen it!

That woman, Myne, cast a spell!

They definitely saw!

I only lost because she cast it!

No way.

They saw.

There is no need to heed a criminal's words.

Spear Hero, you are victorious!

I knew you would win!

Sir Motoyasu.

Of course.

Oh, Shield Hero, I do feel sorry for you.

It's so unfortunate. You'll have to fight all alone again.

A very good show, Sir Motoyasu.

Sir.

I see why my daughter, Malty, would choose you.

Of course, Papa.

I really was blown away when I found out you were a princess, Myne.

Naturally, I wanted to aid in bringing peace to the world.

So that's it?

So it was all them from the start?

The daughter framed me to get in with the Hero she wanted.

And the father would twist the truth for her daughter's whims.

This duel was a sham from the start!

That girl was forced by the Shield Hero to become a slave.

Please, save her from his hands.

These bastards...

Do they want to ruin me that much?

I didn't want to come to this world.

You summoned me here.

So why...

Why do only I have to go through this crap?

The slave forced to work at the hands of the Shield Hero

has been freed honorably by the Spear Hero!

They shouldn't have summoned the Shield Hero in the first place.

The three Heroes apart from the Shield are enough anyway!

They should just execute that criminal!

This country doesn't need the Shield!

The Shield should be executed immediately!

Because I'm the Shield?

Is it because I'm the Shield?

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn everything.

Now, release the girl from her curse.

Raphtalia...

Now, dispel the curse.

YOU HAVE LOST THE BATTLE AGAINST MOTOYASU

Hey!

RAPHTALIA RELEASED FROM SLAVE CONTRACT

Now, you are free.

Be grateful to Sir Motoyasu for his compassion.

Raphtalia...

I've had enough!

This is hell.

This whole damn world...

can go to hell!

CURSE SERIES HAS BEEN UNLOCKED

You coward!

What? How dare you do that to Sir Motoyasu?

When did I ever ask you for help?

But you were being forced to work for him, weren't you?

What do you know of Master Naofumi?

Master Naofumi never forced me to do anything I couldn't do!

He only used the curse when I was afraid and couldn't fight!

That's wrong!

You can't force someone to fight!

Master Naofumi can't use weapons!

Someone else has to fight for him!

There's no reason for you to do that.

He'll just use you until you're beaten and worn.

Master Naofumi protects me!

When I'm tired, he tells me to rest!

No. Naofumi would never do that.

Can you offer your hand

to a sick slave who could die at any time?

Master Naofumi gave me everything that I wanted to eat.

When I was sick and dying, he gave me precious medicine!

Can you do that?

I can.

Then there would be a slave beside you.

A slave other than me.

-That's-- -That's enough out of you.

You Demi-Human trash! How dare you speak down to him?

Look, down there!

Is there trouble?

Miss Myne, we would like to inquire about the unlawful act you performed.

What could you mean?

Unlawful act?

During the duel. Motoyasu, you lost.

Someone cast a spell at Naofumi.

It was a wind spell, so it was hard to see.

Myne...

You must be mistaken.

None of the observers saw anything--

Because the King is keeping them silent.

Just look at the nobles' eyes.

To think that the King himself would defile the sanctity of a duel.

Master Naofumi.

What did you come back for?

Did you come to laugh at me?

-I-- -I don't need a traitor.

Go away and stay away.

I heard what they said about you.

They said that you forced yourself on a party member.

That you were an evil Hero.

But I don't believe that you would do anything--

I didn't do it!

Master Naofumi.

Stay away!

Please, listen to me.

Don't touch me!

You're free, courtesy of the great and compassionate Sir Motoyasu!

Stay away from me!

Or did he tell you to look at the face of the loser?

Just leave me alone.

I believe you, Master Naofumi.

What can I do to make you believe me?

Believe you?

After you betrayed me?

No matter what happens, I am on your side, Master Naofumi.

Lies!

You're only saying that to trick me again!

-I-- -Shut up!

You're just going to frame me for another crime!

I had lost the game right from the start.

No matter how hard I work, no one will acknowledge me!

No one will believe me!

All because of this piece of shit!

Damn it!

This shield has saved me countless times.

During the Wave,

you couldn't fight, Master Naofumi,

yet you protected the villagers with this shield.

I didn't want to protect the villagers.

But still, you saved countless lives.

I'm not that good a person.

Even with you, I only thought of you as a tool at first.

No, you saved me, Master Naofumi.

No!

I was only thinking of myself.

I know you better than anyone in this world.

I know your kindness.

So even if the world calls you evil, I'll say you aren't.

And I'll keep telling everyone that you're a good person.

You saved my life.

You gave me a sword.

You gave me a reason to live.

You did that, Master Naofumi.

I am your sword.

No matter what hardship may await us,

I will go with you.

Those are the words I always wanted to hear but no one said.

No, Raphtalia had always...

I am your sword.

I will go wherever you may go.

Even if you can't believe anyone else, I will believe you.

Master Naofumi, the man who saved me...

No, the great and honorable...

The Shield Hero.

Who are you?

Do you have to ask?

It's me, Raphtalia.

No, but Raphtalia is a child.

Oh, please. You always treat me like a child.

Yes, I may still be immature and childish,

and I'm quick to cry,

and I might always get in your way,

but please, let me stay by your side.

I need you, Master Naofumi.

I'm not wrong.

A Hero owning a slave is wrong.

Raphtalia may be brainwashed, even now.

I don't know about that.

You can still say that after seeing that?

You really are amazing.

It must have been painful.

From now on, please let me shoulder some of that pain.

What?

Good morning, Master Naofumi.

Did you make this, Raphtalia?

Yes!

Though, all I did was put leftovers from the kitchens between some bread.

That's really you, Raphtalia?

I still can't get used to this.

If you raise a Demi-Human's level when they're young,

their body matures quickly according to their level.

Demi-humans are not humans.

That's why they're called animals and monsters and discriminated against.

I see...

These are delicious leftovers!

Master Naofumi?

I can taste it.

It's good!

Let's eat a lot of delicious things together from now on.

Master Naofumi.

Yes?

Let's do our best.
