There is an order for herbicide, Shield Hero.

It is a village in the south,

as fast as possible and as much as possible.

Only you, with the Heavenly Fowl, can do it.

A rush order for herbicide?

And as much as possible?

Master, look at all the plants!

Yes, they definitely need it.

Master Naofumi, look there.

Head toward that settlement, Filo.

Okay!

You have saved us!

We were this close to being engulfed by the vines.

Have you tried burning them away with fire?

We have tried all that we could think of.

We also called adventurers to assist.

But the situation is dire.

The village is covered in vines.

What's more, the vegetation has turned into monsters that attack us.

Into monsters?

They went to increase their level,

the adventurers who decided to venture to the village.

We tried to stop them.

Filo, go bring back the adventurers.

Okay. I'm going.

The plant monsters wiggle around. Some have poison and acid inside.

These people are weak, but they went in anyway.

They're really stupid!

You didn't need to say that last part.

What?

Don't "what" me.

-Don't whine at me. -Hey, that bird can talk!

-Then it's... -Please.

-It has to be! It's the Heavenly Fowl! -Don't "please" me.

-You're such a killjoy, Raphtalia. -The Savior of the Heavenly Fowl has come!

Are you the one who rides the cart pulled by the Heavenly Fowl? The Savior?

You've got the wrong guy.

Master Naofumi...

Please, we beg you!

Would you save our sick with your powers?

Where are the sick?

As you can see, the vegetation has taken root on their bodies.

It has parasitic abilities too?

Please, Savior, save them with your powers!

I don't know if I can heal them until I try.

INCREASED POTION EFFECT

Next.

Yes.

I'm glad we could help.

Yes. We're leaving as soon as they pay for treatment.

I want to avoid any more trouble.

I think that may be difficult.

Savior who rides the cart pulled by the Heavenly Fowl!

We beg of you! Please save our village!

Our village was starving when the Spear Hero came to us.

The Hero heard our plight

and brought seeds sealed in the nearby ruins.

He called them miracle seeds.

Miracle seeds sealed in some ruins?

Those?

At first, we saw them grow and bear fruit quickly and were elated.

However...

They grew too much and engulfed your village?

Yes.

While we were searching for a way to combat it,

we remembered a legend passed down through the village.

Once upon a time,

an alchemist built his stronghold near here and created some seeds,

but for some reason, he sealed them away.

What's more, they said this area was dominated by plants for a time.

Hold on. You had that legend, but no one suspected anything about the seeds?

You assumed they were safe because some Hero brought them to you.

We will pay you for treatment

and monster extermination fully in advance!

Please, save our village!

I'm pissed that I have to wipe Motoyasu's ass,

but I'll do the job I'm paid to do.

That shield... Could he be?

Let's go, Filo.

Yes!

If we defeat that, the deed will be done.

At least I hope it's that easy.

Master, let me do it!

Wait, Filo!

Air Strike Shield!

Its regeneration is too fast.

If normal attacks are pointless...

Raphtalia, toss this herbicide directly on that eye!

Yes!

Are you ready, Filo?

Yes!

Raphtalia! Don't get in my way!

In your way?

Look out!

Filo! You just laughed at me!

I didn't laugh.

More importantly, the herbicide.

I know that.

It's regenerating again.

Wait, that's right...

If my increased potion effect works on herbicide too...

Look out, Master Naofumi!

Master, you're amazing!

Is that the power of the Shield Hero?

INCREASED POTION EFFECT

It's working!

Both of you, get back!

It will just sprout again if we leave it.

We're collecting those seeds.

I was going to pick it first.

But I picked it first.

No, me!

Me!

No, it was me!

No, me!

Those kids...

A NEW SHIELD HAS BEEN UNLOCKED

BIOPLANT SHIELD

"Plant Modification"?

What are you doing?

I picked up a Plant Modification skill.

I'm experimenting with it.

We just defeated one! Don't do anything dangerous!

Thank you so much, Savior!

No, honorable Shield Hero!

I killed the monsters, but you have to clear out the dead roots.

Yes.

I'm tired. I'm going to sleep.

Oh, okay.

Here you are.

Thank you very much.

The Shield Hero is quite a difficult man to understand.

Yes.

He's quiet and smooth.

A SHIELD ABILITY HAS BEEN UNLOCKED

PLANT MODIFICATION MASTERED

BIOPLANT SEED

I think that should do it.

Master Naofumi?

You can go back to sleep.

No, it's all right.

Is that from yesterday?

Watch this.

I told you, Master Naofumi. Don't do anything dangerous.

It worked.

These look good!

I reduced its reproductive and mutative properties

and increased its productive and growth potential.

It should produce lots of fruit without turning into monsters.

This village should never starve again.

Thank you so much, Hero!

You have not only saved us from our plight,

but you have blessed us with such a miracle!

Who said you'd get it for free?

I'm a merchant. I'll sell you these seeds.

At a healthy price, of course.

Master Naofumi, don't be greedy.

But after paying for treatment and monster extermination,

the village has no money left!

You can trade me something in place of money.

But this village has nothing left...

This is fun!

They were tough negotiators.

We'll never eat this many before they go bad.

What? We know where we can sell them.

These seeds are indeed fantastic.

I will buy them with the entire crop.

So we have a deal.

You show a fantastic item to swing a deal in your direction!

You truly are a model merchant!

So we're done here.

Oh, right.

If you aren't in a rush, would you mind doing a job for me?

There is a hot spring area not too far from here.

I would like you to deliver goods to a resort inn there.

Yes, we have received our entire order.

Thank you.

So they have hot spring resorts in this world too?

It's warm!

Hey, Master!

I want to try bathing in a hot spring!

A hot spring?

What about you, Raphtalia?

I'm not particularly interested,

but if you and Filo want to stay...

All right. We'll stay here tonight.

Thank you very--

Master!

I love you!

I'm happy to be able to stay at a hot spring resort,

but Filo just keeps clinging to Master Naofumi.

When I want to have some...

"The origins and effects of this hot spring..."

What does a silver boar have to do with a hot spring?

Well, whatever.

"The effects...

Love comes true"?

"If a man and a woman bathe together,

they'll be bound together forever"?

Then if I bathe with Master Naofumi...

No, Master Naofumi!

If we kiss, we'll end up with a baby!

Oh, it's an outdoor bath?

Master Naofumi?

It's so big!

Filo, no swimming in the bath.

I can't?

-Oh, maybe it's okay in this world? -I thought she was taking a while.

She's with Master Naofumi?

Swim with me, Master!

I'm not swimming.

Then wash my head?

Wash it yourself.

That Filo. She was with Master Naofumi the entire time.

More importantly, I want to drink this with Master Naofumi.

This feels nice, Master!

You've got so much hair, Filo. Brushing it is a serious pain.

Is it?

Raphtalia's hair was short.

He used to brush my hair too.

Well...

-Can I-- -Master, I'm thirsty.

Quit moving.

You want me to stop?

No! I like it! Keep going!

And preen my feathers too!

You preen your own feathers.

What?

What is it, Raphtalia?

Nothing.

Oh, Raphtalia! Can I have one?

If I don't do something, Filo will take Master Naofumi...

To reverse this situation in one move...

A gift is the best way to make your love turn their eyes toward you.

Mother always said that.

Mother fell in love with Father after he gave her a present.

If I can find some Latium...

Have you heard about Latium?

Oh, that rare ore you can find around here?

They say it works really well as a love charm.

What? Really?

A bird called the Gagocco collects it,

so if I can find a nest, I'll find some!

And if I give it to Master Naofumi as a present...

No, we can't do that, Master Naofumi!

If we kiss--

What about Master?

What?

That voice...

Filo?

What's she doing all the way out here?

Is she looking for Latium too?

You want some eggs too, don't you?

What?

The old mister at the inn told me

that Gagocco eggs are rare and taste yummy!

Oh, she just wants to eat.

Filo's still just a kid.

If I give Master a rare and yummy food,

I'm sure he'll pet me and mate with me!

"Mate"?

Mating means marriage.

Filo's thinking about something so bold?

So I won't give you any, Raphtalia!

Wait!

Eggs!

Yummy eggs!

When did this become a race?

You're so slow, Raphtalia!

Filo, look out!

What?

It hurts.

Raphtalia, are you okay?

Yes.

Are you okay, Filo?

Yes. Thank you.

I'm glad we landed on something like a cushion.

What do we do?

Raphtalia!

Ride on me!

That was scary...

Filo, thank you.

Now we're even, right?

Yes!

So that's a Gagocco nest?

Eggs!

Sorry for scaring you,

but I really want that rock!

My egg...

Raphtalia...

Yes.

In the end, we couldn't find another Gagocco nest.

Will Master Naofumi be happy with this gift?

Hey, you two!

Is that a Silver Razorback?

Yes?

That!

Could you sell it to us?

We use Silver Razorbacks as a ritual sacrifice in town festivals.

They're very valuable.

Please! We'll pay you handsomely!

Money?

Raphtalia.

You bought this for me?

Yeah!

Filo and I picked it out for you.

We thought you might want tools for metalwork.

I did.

But wasn't this expensive?

You always treat us with such kindness and care, Master Naofumi.

It's a token of our gratitude.

Yes! A present for you, Master!

Thank you.

I'll take good care of it.

And...

Go take a bath in the hot spring, you two.

He still treats me like a child,

but one day, I'll make him see me as a woman.

Right, Filo?

Yes!

Have a nice day.

A plague in the east?

Yes. They say medicine's flying off the carts.

Master Naofumi, where should we go next?

To the east.
