Master?

You can't sleep?

I just came to check on you.

Go back to sleep.

Okay.

Good night, Master.

See you in the morning.

Yes, good night.

You should turn back.

If you keep going, you'll die.

What?

I heard that there was a village this way.

The village is doomed.

Even the head has fallen to the disease.

What could cause this?

We'll see soon enough.

What are you doing in this forsaken place?

I'm a merchant. I'm here to sell medicine.

A merchant?

Wait, that Filolial...

Is it the Heavenly Fowl?

Doctor!

What is it?

The Savior of the Heavenly Fowl has come, Doctor!

Doctor?

I am a healer in this village.

But are you truly...

I'm only here to sell medicine.

Even that is welcome!

All that I can make is nowhere near enough!

Doctor, who are these people?

They are here to sell medicine.

In this situation, I should administer it to them.

Here.

Fifty silver?

Is this enough for it?

It's less than I'd like, but oh well.

Thank you so much!

We will live a while longer--

And you're okay with that?

All I did was administer first aid. It isn't a cure for the disease.

You'll be up a creek without one.

Yes, it is as you say.

I make money regardless, so I don't care.

Which will run out first? Your wallets or your lives?

We know that we can't go on like this!

But there's nothing we can do.

What do you mean?

We think that the cause of the disease is the air from the monsters' mountain.

The monsters' mountain?

One month ago, the Dragon which lived on the mountain

was slain by the Sword Hero.

Yes, I heard about that.

But how does that lead to the disease?

Many adventurers came to the village to see the remains and collect materials.

The village was full of life as a result.

But one day, an adventurer collapsed.

Most likely, the flesh of the corpse had rotten,

and the rot was exuding a poison.

Ren... Even a high school idiot knows that meat rots when left out.

No,

if he assumes this world is like a game, he wouldn't consider it.

If you know the cause, why don't you eliminate it?

Only adventurers can climb the mountain. It was always full of powerful monsters.

We could never...

What's more, perhaps due to the poison,

the monsters living on the mountain have changed.

It would be difficult for even an experienced adventurer to approach it.

Have you reported it to the government?

Yes. They will be sending medicine soon.

But they said that the Heroes were busy. They will not come for quite a while.

I see...

Cancel that request to the government.

Raphtalia, prepare to climb.

Yes.

Are you going to attempt it, Savior?

It is far too dangerous!

Don't worry. We're used to it.

How could I ever thank you for this?

I don't need thanks. I want money.

I'll charge 500 silver.

Five hundred silver? That's far too much!

It includes a health-hazard fee.

Just give me whatever you were going to pay the government.

He's no savior! He's an extortionist!

Will you stop that?

I never called myself a savior.

Why do you say things so that people will hate you, Master Naofumi?

CHIMERA VIPER SHIELD MODERATE POISON RESISTANCE

But you're bringing a lot of tools, even if it's a Dragon's corpse.

We're traveling by cart.

A few extra tools won't hurt.

We could have traveled light if Filo hadn't thrown a fit.

All my life's memories are in this cart! I'm not leaving it behind!

All your life? You were hatched only a month ago.

Filo can be so stubborn sometimes.

No, it may have been a good decision.

We'll never reach the summit if we fight them all.

By the power of the Shield Hero, I command you,

heed my law and protect the one I will!

Fast Guard!

Run, Filo!

Okay!

If you don't feel well, go back to the cart. The air here is bad.

No, I'm fine.

Okay.

But wow. We should've had lunch before we came.

Seeing this thing is making me lose my appetite...

I'm hungry after seeing it!

Don't eat too much!

It's huge. It's going to take some work just to dismember it.

What?

A Zombie Dragon? What?

Master Naofumi, what should we do?

We're going back down!

Dragons!

I hate them!

Maybe we can do this?

Both of you, get behind me!

I can't completely block its poison breath with my shield.

I'll be fine, but Raphtalia...

And if we don't stop it here,

we'll be stuck with more trouble!

Now, I'm mad!

Filo, don't just...

We need to retreat and prepare to fight it.

Let's go, Raphtalia.

Filo!

That idiot!

Hey! Filo!

Filo!

Filo...

Again...

Taking something away from me again?

This world is going to take everything from me.

DO YOU WANT MORE POWER?

"Power"?

DO YOU HATE EVERYTHING?

"Hate"?

CURSE SERIES: RAGE SHIELD

Hate...

Hate...

Hate...

Hate!

How dare you eat her?

Filo!

No, don't! Master Naofumi!

Master Naofumi!

No.

Not Master Naofumi too.

Master Naofumi!

Burn.

Kill.

Kill everyone.

Suffer.

Die!

I believe you.

I am your sword.

This voice...

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

The great and honorable

Shield Hero.

What did I just do?

Master Naofumi...

I'm so glad

you're back...

Raphtalia!

These...

It couldn't...

By the power of the Shield Hero, I command you,

heed my law and heal the one I will!

Fast Heal!

Heal the one I will!

Fast Heal!

I said heal her!

Fast Heal!

This is my fault.

Stay out of my way!

Stop it!

The only way to stop it is to use this power.

But...

If I don't focus, I'll lose myself to my hate!

What can I do?

What happened?

Master Naofumi.

Raphtalia!

Are you all right?

Yes, thanks to your healing, Master Naofumi.

Did you defeat the Dragon?

Filo? Is that you?

I finally got out!

Are you okay?

Yes!

But you were eaten, and the blood...

Blood?

Oh, I threw up lunch when I went into his mouth!

Those red fruits!

Master, were you worried about me?

Not a chance.

Why don't you look this way?

Stay away.

Then...

Did you defeat the Dragon, Filo?

Right!

I was ripping apart the insides of the Dragon

when I found a big, purple crystal!

It was shiny!

A crystal?

So that's what brought it to life?

Where's the crystal now?

You ate it?

Raphtalia!

Raphtalia?

We'll use the medicine in the cart for her.

We're going straight back to the village.

We can't.

We have to remove the Dragon's corpse.

You're more important!

I'll be fine.

I'll take some medicine and lie down.

Filo, we're finishing this quick.

Okay!

The air from the mountain is back to normal!

We are safe now!

Thank you so very much!

Use that money to treat Raphtalia.

I don't care how much it costs.

Just heal her.

It will be difficult to heal her.

That is a curse.

And it is a very powerful one.

I soaked the bandages in Holy Water before wrapping them,

but we do not have Holy Water powerful enough to lift a curse.

You should be able to find some at churches in big cities.

Take this money to buy it.

I'm sorry.

Raphtalia, are you okay?

Yes. They've treated me. I'm fine now.

The corpse could give you such a heavy curse.

Dragons truly are frightening.

Yes. I touched part of its rotting body and was cursed.

He must love you very much.

Well...

Take care, Ms. Raphtalia.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

That power would take you far away from me,

or I felt like it would.

So if I was able to stop you from going there, this is nothing.

Master, are you going somewhere?

I'm not going anywhere.

Oh, I have a present for you, Master!

This is...

The crystal that was inside the Dragon!

Filo, did you spit it out?

No!

I kept some to give as a present!

If this is the Dragon's crystallized mana...

My level isn't high enough?

That shield wasn't in the skill tree.

If I had continued to use that power,

Raphtalia, and even Filo, who was still in the Dragon...

I would have killed them both.

Master Naofumi?

I'm sorry, both of you.

I put you in danger because I was indecisive.

Courage and recklessness are different,

and so are caution and cowardice.

I can't protect what I want to protect as a coward.

Back then, if I had been closer and drew the Dragon's attention...

I could have done so many things differently.

It isn't your fault, Master Naofumi!

If I were stronger than I was...

I was bad too!

I ran in because I hate Dragons.

You two...

We're stronger today than we were yesterday.

We'll be even stronger tomorrow.

Let's use that strength next time.

Yes. Together.

I'll do my best too!

Yes.

Master smiled!

What?

Yes, he did.

He finally smiled like he usually does.

Did I?

Yes!

Right, Raphtalia?

Yes!

It's getting late.

Get some sleep and rest.

Okay!

Well...

Will you stay with me tonight?

Are you feeling lonely?

No, well, I thought maybe I could ask for something...

Filo!

Sleep together with Raphtalia tonight.

Okay!

-What? -You're feeling cold, right?

No, that's not it.

Master, come sleep with us too!

I won't.

-What? -What?

I'm not warm.

I have to get stronger.

Together with them. They believe in me.

And I'll protect them.

No matter what. At any cost.
