Oh, so you've found a new Queen candidate?

And she's come quite close to us?

Then I have to go see her.

Give Lord Van back!

Stay away!

We can't stay here.

We're getting out of here!

Right!

Are you all right?

Yes, I should be.

That noble unleashed an ancient monster just to defeat Naofumi?

You're telling me.

Keel!

Raphtalia...

So what to do now--

What--

Why is it here?

Damn.

If it attacks us right now...

You stupid...

-Filo! -Filo!

You're going to fight it here? We're in the middle of town!

I know!

We need to lead it out of town first!

But how?

Look, Naofumi!

What?

Look at Filo's belly.

And look at the monster's too.

That monster might be chasing after...

Filo?

Yes.

Then we might be able to lead it out of town.

But...

Don't worry about them.

I'll escape with them together.

Thanks. We're counting on you.

Raphtalia.

Hey, Raphtalia...

You're part of the Shield Hero's party, right?

Yes.

Then you have to go.

I'll be fine.

Go.

Keel...

Don't worry.

We'll meet with them first.

Open the gates!

Lord Van!

I understand.

Take care of Keel for me.

Of course.

Filo!

Coming!

Be careful.

Yes.

We'll see each other again soon.

Let's go!

Yes!

Roger!

Run away!

Filo, that way!

Got it!

Looks like it really is chasing after Filo.

Yes.

I'm sorry. That bracelet...

That's yours, Raphtalia. You do what you want with it.

How far are we going?

As far as we can!

We're almost out of the forest.

This might work.

Are you ready?

I can fight at any time.

I'm ready!

Air Strike Shield!

Zweit Aqua Slash!

It didn't cut?

It's not very quick, but it's way too tough!

Master! Platform!

Air Strike Shield!

Second Shield!

It isn't working?

One more time!

Master Naofumi!

I'm fine! Do it!

Yes!

Our stamina has its limits too...

Do I have to use the Rage Shield?

No.

What--

Naofumi, something strange is in the air!

Is this a magic mist?

It's an extremely advanced barrier.

A barrier? And we're stuck inside?

Something's coming!

Filolials?

What's going on?

Damn!

LOCKED DUE TO INTERFERENCE. CANNOT USE.

I don't want you to rely on that power.

Who's there?

What--

It can't be...

A Filolial Queen?

She's so cool...

Stand back.

It appears it wasn't fit for the Dragon King Fragment,

so it grew very large.

If you give me that Fragment, I will not take your life.

Leave at once.

Look out!

Every time...

Weak.

I'll end it quickly.

The Shield Hero, if I'm right.

Yes.

I have much to speak about with you,

but this form is rather rude.

Give me a moment.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I rule over all the world's Filolials as their Queen.

Fitoria.

Fitoria?

You mean...

You know who she is?

Yes. She's a legendary Filolial who was raised by a Hero in ancient times.

In ancient times? So she's inherited her name?

My name has always been Fitoria.

Will I be that big one day too?

If you get that big, I'm not keeping you.

You'll be on your own.

Relax.

It takes several tens of generations for a Filolial to grow this big.

What?

So she's lived for that long?

Now, Shield Hero party, introduce yourselves.

I'm Naofumi Iwatani.

Yes.

My name is Raphtalia. Pleased to meet you.

As am I.

My name is Filo!

We met once before. Thank you very much for your help.

Yes. My name is Melty Melromarc. Pleased to see you again.

Then you're Melly.

Already?

You've met each other before?

Yes. I met her while traveling from another kingdom back to the castle.

So it wasn't your first time getting lost...

Now then, thank you for beating that monster for us.

What do you want with us?

I would like to explain the reason, but we can't speak at ease here.

We will go somewhere else. This way.

No, before that...

The Four Cardinal Heroes should not put anything

from dragons into their weapons.

They're valuable materials for strengthening my shield.

I also sense a dark power in the Shield.

Cursed weapons are indeed powerful, but they come at a great cost.

You must not use them.

I can control it just fine. It's fine.

One day, you won't be able to.

But I need the dragon parts and the Rage Shield in order to survive.

I see. Then do as you will.

I guess that's it.

Are you done yet?

Yes.

The rest--

I'll have my servants bring it with them.

Thank you.

Into the carriage.

We have much to speak about once we arrive.

Portal.

What was that just now?

We were transported in an instant?

Amazing...

Some ruins?

They seem very old.

It's all broken.

They call them the remains of the kingdom that the First Heroes defended.

That's pretty vague.

They existed before I was born.

I watch over them now.

Is this a sanctuary for Filolials?

Yes. I'm not supposed to bring humans here often.

Amazing...

Then this place should be mostly safe.

You should have some rest before anything else.

Then let's have a rest.

Yes!

It's been a very long day.

I hope Keel is all right.

Van and the other Demi-Humans are with him. He'll be fine.

Yes, you're right.

Let's have something to eat first.

You're all hungry, right?

Time to eat!

It's a little...

hard to eat right now...

Well, same here.

It's good, right?

It's good.

They're almost like sisters.

Yes. The way they get food all over is the same too.

Master Naofumi?

What?

Okay, fine! I'll make some for you!

Get me some big pots and a ton of ingredients!

Why did I have to feed all of them too?

What now?

We're out of dinner.

I know. It seems a good time to talk.

I want to know why that monster was unleashed.

I thought you came to save us because you knew.

I came because there was a report of a new Queen candidate.

Queen candidate? You mean Filo?

Yes.

Can I ask a question?

What?

Why is Filo growing in an obviously different way from other Filolials?

Because...

a Hero is raising her.

Now tell me, why was the monster unleashed?

What now?

I am dismayed.

Waves are yet approaching,

yet the Four Cardinal Heroes decide to have petty quarrels.

They're the ones doing it.

I understand that the Shield Hero is hated by Demi-Human intolerant kingdoms.

Then you understand that we need to cross the border into--

That will not solve the problem.

Face it.

Humans and Demi-Humans may quarrel as they will,

but Heroes may not quarrel amongst themselves.

Do the Four Cardinal Heroes know about the Hourglasses?

You mean the Dragon Hourglasses?

We know about them.

Then why don't they repel the Waves in the rest of the world?

Wait, do you mean that Waves are happening in places other than Melromarc?

Each kingdom is supposed to summon one of the Four Cardinal Heroes

to defend itself from the Waves.

This is the first I've heard that.

I am repelling them where I am asked to do so.

But the Four Cardinal Heroes are not repelling them elsewhere.

I only just learned that other kingdoms have Hourglasses too.

Honestly, I don't care what happens to you humans.

I fight because the Hero who raised me wished that I do so.

Because that Hero wished...

My duty is to defend this world.

Humans don't matter. She's saving the world?

But if I fight alone...

Without a Hero, I won't be able to.

You seem far stronger than any of us.

For now, yes.

But eventually...

I won't be strong enough.

That's why you need the Heroes?

Precisely.

Around here?

I think so.

The Three Heroes Church is definitely hiding something.

So it's just as Naofumi said...

A library?

We'll have to read.

Unnecessary prying...

You mean make peace with them?

The Heroes must work together.

That is necessary to defend this world.

Not happening.

They are...

The kingdom is trying to get rid of me.

I've heard some of the circumstances.

But the Heroes must not quarrel amongst themselves.

You're really fixated on that.

Because that is all that I can't accept.

They have no intention of getting along with me. There's nothing I can do.

Nothing at all?

Yes.

I see. Then there's nothing I can do.

It was a very long time ago.

My memories are faded and unclear.

But I do remember that this is right.

The Waves are bringing about catastrophe.

If the Heroes are quarreling amongst themselves, then...

for the sake of this world,

I will kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.
