Welcome!

What, here to brag about how you bought a good slave?

No.

I knew you were a pedophile all along.

I'm not.

Master, I'm hungry.

You want a bite of this?

Yes!

No, Filo...

It's fine, young lady.

One bite for her is...

Thank you for the meal!

The taste wasn't that great.

So what is she?

According to the Slave Merchant,

Filolials flocks have kings and queens that lead them.

That's only in fairy tales.

Filolial Kings and Queens have advanced transformation skills.

They often transform into normal Filolials to avoid being spotted.

But they can transform into humans too?

Dang, that's amazing.

And they need a special monster seal.

I wasn't planning on spending that much.

It was an ordeal just putting the seal on her.

Filo resisted with so much force.

And she's only level 19.

How strong is she going to be at level 70?

So? You didn't just come to show off your new queen.

Get her some clothes.

Clothes?

If she tears her clothes every time she transforms,

I'll be bankrupt in no time.

Weren't there special clothes for races that transformed?

Those are specially made. I don't carry them.

Go see a dressmaker.

Well, you can't have her walking around like that.

Another customer wanted to throw this out.

Oh, she's so cute!

She's as cute as an angel!

No, she has wings sprouting from her back!

Is she actually an angel?

Master, am I cute?

I don't care.

Now don't say that, Dad.

"Dad"?

When you call a girl cute, she grows even cuter!

Master, are you my dad?

No. I'm your owner.

Then what's Raphtalia?

Something like my daughter.

No, I'm not!

This is stupid.

It's "stupid"?

Clothes that don't tear when she transforms

and turn back to normal when she transforms back.

Oh, is that what you'd like?

Do you have any magic thread?

"Magic thread"?

A robe that restores itself

needs to be made with thread spun from her own mana.

Do you mean that they're made to order?

Yes!

If you can give me some magic thread,

I will make her the cutest robe you can imagine!

Magic thread?

Yes, I can spin it in this shop,

but I need a new magic gem because mine is broken.

I can't do it right now.

Are they expensive?

Well, yes, but the supply is limited too.

That is a problem.

I'll put the word out to get a new one as soon as possible.

Could you wait a little while?

Hey.

What's this?

It's a crystal ball that lets me see someone's magic affinity.

I'll see what yours is too, Filo.

So we'll have to deal with this for a while?

Filo has a wind affinity!

She'll blow away all her enemies!

-Filo seems very happy. -Filo's job is to pull her cart!

To wherever her master tells her to!

If she ever sees that spear guy,

she'll kick him so hard that he flies through the sky!

It's going to be a while until her clothes are ready.

We're going town to town trading until then.

It was so nice of the village head to give us that traveling merchant license.

Master, there's someone in front of us.

Is something the matter?

Please, would you let me ride on your cart?

What?

There's a village on the other side of the mountains.

I need to give them this medicine immediately!

Filo, how long would it take at full speed?

Really fast!

But I'd be even faster without the cart!

I'll deliver it for one silver.

What? I spent all I had on this medicine.

If you can offer something else, fine.

I can also give a loan, but if you play dumb, you're dead.

Then if you would...

Raphtalia, the reins.

Here.

Thank you!

I don't want your thanks. I want your money.

Run, Filo.

Okay!

Hey! Stop! Pay the toll!

I'll be back for it later!

Mother, I've brought your medicine.

Go boil some water.

I'll give her the medicine.

But...

No charge.

INCREASED POTION EFFECT

Oh, thank you so much.

Mother!

The medicine's working already?

Yes, the pain is gone already.

Thank you so much.

Excuse me, but what kind of magic did you use?

You're better off not prying.

Now, the payment.

Oh, yes.

I think this will be one silver's worth.

Yes, it will.

Goodbye.

Thank you so much!

I can move people while I sell goods.

Trading might be good money.

What luck I have! To ride in the Savior of the Heavenly Fowl's cart!

"The Savior of the Heavenly Fowl"?

You have a reputation in this area!

You ride a cart pulled by a bird goddess,

healing those suffering from illness with your personal elixir!

Is Filo a goddess?

Now, Filo. Master Naofumi told you not to speak in front of people.

Oh, sorry.

She can speak as well? She truly is a bird goddess!

She isn't a goddess.

Master Naofumi, there are men on the road ahead.

Hey! Stop!

We heard that there's an accessory seller riding a cart pulled by a strange bird.

You're there, aren't you?

So this customer had issues.

If you hand him over, we'll spare your lives.

Which means you'll take everything but our lives.

You know the drill, buddy!

She's a Demi-Human, but she's quite a looker.

We're going to have fun tonight.

Master Naofumi, can I cut him?

I'd say no, but you'll still do it.

Me too!

Don't even try!

We've got an advanced-class mercenary on our side!

If you would, sir!

"Advanced-class"?

Another term I haven't heard.

I know enough to be cautious with him.

If I cast a support spell now...

By the power I bear, I command you,

heed my law and cast an illusion to hide me.

Hide Mirage!

Fast Tornado!

Another merchant said that you'd be loaded with good stuff

if we were to take your cart!

So I've been betrayed by my partners.

So what should we do with them?

Normally, we would want to hand them over to a patrol.

Hey, you're the Shield Hero, right?

You don't have a weapon. You only have a shield.

It's easy enough to tell.

So you're going to tell the patrol that you're just adventurers

who were mugged by that evil scoundrel, the Shield Hero?

You know the drill, buddy.

They'd trust us over the Shield Hero!

Then it's too bad.

You'll just have to die.

Filo, are you feeling hungry?

I'm hungry!

Food!

She isn't a picky eater.

She'll swallow anything whole.

The Savior of the Heavenly Fowl can't kill people!

I'm no savior, and it's only natural to eliminate problems before they start.

You've killed plenty of people, haven't you?

It's your turn to die now. Goodbye.

Wait! Spare us our lives! Please!

Okay, I'll spare you your lives.

But...

Taking treasures from bandits?

Doesn't that make us eviler than evildoers?

That's not quite accurate.

They offered their entire fortune to purchase their lives

from the Savior of the Heavenly Fowl.

He even deals human lives.

The Shield Hero is a model merchant,

the likes of which we have not seen for years!

Isn't it just extortion?

If you've got time to talk, you've got time to help.

And how much are you going to pay for causing me trouble?

Allow me to offer you all of my knowledge and connections.

"Knowledge and connections"?

Yes. I like you very much.

The first thing the merchant taught me

was how to craft precious metals and use the necessary tools.

Then how to cut gems and imbue them with mana.

By feeling the flow of mana, I was able to learn magic.

And so, I acquired a new trade skill of gem crafting.

I was also introduced to the merchant information network,

giving me news about the other Heroes.

Motoyasu went southwest and saved a starving village

with the aid of a legendary plant.

That damn bitch must have told him what to do.

Ren was journeying in the southeast in search of strong monsters.

They said he had defeated a Dragon.

Itsuki...

The only news regarding the Bow Hero was vague and lacking.

He went into the mountains to train.

He went into a dungeon in search of treasures.

He joined the resistance movement in another country.

There were all sorts of rumors and fake news about him,

but none of it was definite or concrete.

The merchant did teach me all his knowledge and gave me his connections.

Of this, the most useful was...

This seal is most certainly his.

He's so moody and tight with money, and he approved this?

Anyway, if there's a gem you're interested in, I'll put an order in.

Naturally, we'll give you a good discount on it.

What is it you're looking for?

I want a gem for spinning magic thread.

I never imagined we would learn a place to find one so quickly.

We can't celebrate just yet.

The place it's in is pretty bothersome.

Master Naofumi.

Once upon a time, an infamous alchemist used this temple as his stronghold.

I never imagined we would find a cave here.

According to the mine foreman,

no one's come near it since monsters nested inside.

Stay on guard.

It's empty.

It's the ancient script.

I pray that these seeds never see the world.

It's my dream that none should ever starve

shall the worst fruits bear upon it.

It looks like they've been shown the world at the hands of a thief.

Master, there's a passage here.

Then let's go.

Hey, Filo! What are you doing?

Come on, let's go.

Master, there's something...

Stupid bird.

If you won't listen to me, then I don't need you anymore.

Wait.

What's this?

A monster's pawprint.

It looks like it's a big one.

We'll have to keep going to find what we want.

Stay on your toes...

Master Naofumi!

Stay calm!

Hey, magic shop owner, what's going on?

I'm done with being Master Naofumi's slave.

I only pretended to become his slave again so I could kill him myself.

I could easily stab him from behind right now.

Don't listen to those voices!

Magic shop owner?

The monsters here put the words you fear most into your mind!

Curse them.

Master is my meal!

Hey, I just got scratched!

Do something about this!

By the power I bear, I command you,

heed my law and return our vision!

Fast Anti-Bind!

We can see them now!

Filo!

Go fly away!

Is everyone all right?

Yes, we're fine.

VOICE GENGARS SKIN, TOOTH, TAIL

A NEW SHIELD HAS BEEN UNLOCKED

It doesn't look very useful.

Let's keep going.

Master, you won't abandon me?

I put money into you. I won't abandon you that easily.

Master Naofumi.

Don't worry.

Master Naofumi would never say anything mean like those voices.

Never ever.

Okay!

No, nothing.

There's something there.

That's it.

Yes. But...

That's a Nue.

It's small, but it's dangerous.

What a bother.

What we want is right in front of us.

I'm going in!

Those two...

Please, give us some cover!

Zweit Fire Blast!

Master Naofumi!

Can I hold it back?

No!

Hey!

Thanks.

We need to make sure we don't get hit by that.

But how can we get to it?

Look out! Raphtalia!

Can it see her?

No, it can hear her.

It's really sensitive to sound.

Sound?

Filo! Scream into this as loud as you can!

Okay!

Everyone! Cover your ears!

Now!

Zweit Fire Blast!

We won!

Are you okay?

Yes!

What about you, Master Naofumi?

I'm fine.

Don't rush in without a plan.

But...

If you got an injury that wouldn't heal, what then?

You mean...

You heard me?

Yes.

Wow, it's pretty!

It really is pretty!

This makes me feel all tired.

Because it's spinning your mana into thread.

Hold on just a little longer.

What?

We'll give you a treat once you're done.

A yummy one?

Then I'll keep going!

Master, how is it?

I'd say it's good.

Yes!

Thank you, Master!

Well, yes, she is cute.

She is, right?

In order to bring out all of Filo's angelic angel's likeness,

I really outdid myself!

I used a white base to match her wings,

and I put frills on everything to make it look like feathers!

For the maximum contrast between the trim and her hair,

I made the ribbon blue!

I see.

A monster seal plus magic robes. Altogether, that's 340 silver.

You're going to work all of that back.

Okay! I'll work real hard!

Don't transform back indoors!

What?

Even in monster form, her ribbon is so cute!

Don't you think so too?

You think so too, right, Dad?

I don't care!
