What? A boy I like?

Yes! Do you like any boys, Raphtalia?

Let's see...

I like my dad!

No, not like that...

Do you have one, Rifana? A boy you like?

Well, you see...

I want to marry someone like the legendary Hero!

The Shield Hero?

I want to meet him too--

Look!

Please! Spare my life!

You took the lives of countless helpless Demi-Humans in those dungeons.

You dare beg for your life?

You... You couldn't be!

That Demi-Human I kept in the dungeons...

That Demi-Human from that village!

Wait!

If I hadn't kept you, you would have died in the fields!

Silence!

Do you think I can forget what you did?

I won't forget!

I will never be able to forget it!

I'm sorry!

I apologize!

Please, believe me!

This man... killed Rifana...

Stop! Please, don't!

Raphtalia.

Will you be able to come to terms with your past if you kill him?

You're stronger now, and not only with the sword.

You tortured and killed countless Demi-Human children.

You are the worst scum that exists.

I will never forgive you.

But if I kill you now,

that will just bring me down to your level.

So I will not take your life.

Live, and make amends for your sins.

You pesky little...

accursed vermin!

Damn you!

I'll exterminate all you Demi-Humans--

Lord Idol!

Lord Idol is dead!

Withdraw!

Withdraw at once!

Raphtalia, are you okay?

Raphtalia...

Master Naofumi...

I...

You didn't do it.

But...

It's fine.

Shield Hero, thank you very much.

You've saved my life.

Reichnott!

Your wounds?

I'm fine.

Fast Aqua Heal.

Let's escape while we can.

Yes.

But before that...

Idol imprisoned Demi-Human slaves in these dungeons

and tortured them.

How do you know about this?

Because I was imprisoned here as well.

We can turn back now.

No, I'll be fine.

Be friends with everyone in the village, and always smile.

When it hurts most, that's when you need to smile.

When you smile, you'll make everyone else smile too.

Mom, Dad...

I won't cry anymore.

Please watch over me.

Listen, everyone!

We are alive!

And we will stay alive!

So let's rebuild the village together!

Everyone who died...

I'm sure they would want us to!

That's right!

Raphtalia's right about that!

Yes! Let's do our best!

Yes, they're right!

Let's rebuild the village!

Hey, Raphtalia...

Yes?

Since your mom and dad died...

Aren't you sad?

I'm sad.

But I don't want to cry.

I need to smile when it hurts most.

That's what Dad told me.

Raphtalia is doing her best with a smile, so I'll do my best too!

Hey, what's that?

Aid from the castle?

Good!

Come on, get in!

Quit dallying!

Raphtalia!

Get in, brat!

Melly, are you okay?

Yes.

He put Raphtalia in here?

I could puke just imagining what he did in this place.

Dammit!

You bore me!

Won't you cry and scream?

That's it! Just like that!

-Rifana... -Cry harder!

Rifana, have some food.

It's all right. I'm sure the Shield Hero will come to save us.

Rifana?

You're burning up!

Hey...

Do you remember our flag?

What?

The symbol of the village they let us Demi-Humans build and live in.

Yes, I remember!

I want to see it again.

You'll see it again! I know it!

Yes.

Raphtalia...

What is it?

I want to go back to the village.

Yes. We'll go back. We'll go back to the village together.

I want to go home.

That...

Sorry, I couldn't make it any better.

No, I'm happy.

Thank you.

Rifana?

You!

Get out.

What?

You've been sold to a slave merchant.

What about Rifana?

Hey!

She's the only one we can sell.

Get her gone.

What about Rifana?

She's already gone.

Smile...

When it hurts most...

Wait...

How do you smile again?

There's a survivor!

Raphtalia, let's go!

Everything will be all right now.

Naofumi!

Another here!

There's someone here too!

Keel... is that you?

Keel! What are you doing here?

Who are you?

So they brought you here too, Keel?

I'm so glad you're alive!

Who are you, lady?

Did you forget me? It's Raphtalia.

Raphtalia?

No way... You can't be Raphtalia.

Stay away!

Hey, do you remember the time when you dove into the sea and nearly drowned,

and Sadeena went in and saved you?

And the time you ate toadstools and got sick.

You could barely move, and you told me to keep it a secret.

After the Wave, when I said we should rebuild the village,

you were the first one to agree.

I was... really happy.

Raphtalia...

You're really Raphtalia!

Thank you...

Thank you for staying alive...

Thank you!

Who are these people?

You see...

I'm traveling with the Shield Hero now.

What? The Shield Hero?

Yes!

The Shield Hero came to save you!

Show me your wounds.

You really exist...

The Shield Hero really exists!

Are you okay?

Yes.

I see...

If Rifana could've met you, she would've been so happy.

Keel.

Where's Rifana?

Where's Rifana?

Raphtalia...

What?

Will the Shield Hero come to save us?

He'll come for sure!

I want to meet him soon.

Because...

Because?

I want him to marry me.

Master...

And this all happened in Melromarc...

Princess Melty,

I regret to say that this is occurring all over this kingdom.

No...

That is why we defended the Seyaette domain.

But now...

Melty, there is something I would like you to do.

Return to the castle

and advise the King against undeserved discrimination against the Shield Hero.

I would go myself immediately, however...

I'm sorry. We came too late.

Raphtalia, is this girl...

This is Rifana.

She was so much more ladylike than me, and so kind...

She would always say

she wanted to meet you, Master Naofumi, the Shield Hero.

We'll bury her, as well as the others.

Leaving them here would be heartless.

What's wrong?

I can't forgive myself.

I couldn't protect anyone back then.

Before I met you, Master Naofumi, I was so powerless.

I couldn't do anything.

If only I were stronger, I could have saved them.

If only I were!

You did save us.

If you didn't save us, I would be dead too.

Everyone else too! You were there smiling for us,

so we didn't give up hope and kept going!

No matter how much it hurt, we kept trying to smile!

I'm sorry.

What?

I'm sorry, Keel.

I can't smile like I did back then anymore.

What?

Because I...

I've killed someone.

No.

Everything must have been all wrong...

Everything I've done all this time was all...

It was all wrong.

No, it wasn't.

Raphtalia.

I don't deserve to be anywhere near you, Master Naofumi!

You haven't done anything wrong!

If I hadn't met you, I would never have been able to trust anyone.

I would have run away from this world.

Back then, you trusted me, and that's why I'm here.

We met Filo and Melty too.

That's right.

It couldn't have been wrong!

You used to be so small, Raphtalia.

You met the Shield Hero, and now you're so strong.

You even came to save us.

Look.

You saved those children.

Master Naofumi...

Now, stop crying.

And the Shield Hero came for Rifana too. I'm sure she's happy too.

From now on, we have to protect them.

So no one will have to experience what you and she did.

That's why you've always fought alongside me.

Alongside me, the Shield Hero.

Yes!

Must be nice being with the Shield Hero.

Jealous, right?

Hey, that's not nice!

I'll always be there with you.

Yes.

So let's go back to our village and our flag one day.

Yes.

Rifana...

We'll take back the flag we used to raise,

together with Master Naofumi.

What's going on?

The Demi-Humans came to take you back, and now they're rioting.

Hurry up and tell them you're safe.

Okay.

What was that?

Master, look!

He's still alive?

Oh, great God! Bestow upon me the power to enact judgment upon the Demon!

No, he wouldn't do that!

What is it?

That obelisk was built by a past Hero to seal away an ancient monster.

He's going to undo the seal!

Now, destroy all in your wake, beast sealed in time!

Drop the hammer of judgment upon the Shield Demon!

Nothing can stop me now!

If I kill the Shield Demon, God will grant all His blessings upon me!
