We found a Dragon Hourglass in a temple

at the bottom of the sea near Cal Mira Island,

so we prepared for a Wave at breakneck speed.

Raphtalia.

Yes.

Fast Light.

There's a Dragon Hourglass here?

If a Wave happens here, the people on the island...

Until the next Wave...

we have two days?

We used the teleportation skill to return to the castle.

Soon after explaining the situation to the Queen,

she dispatched an army to repel the Wave.

This Wave is likely to occur on the sea,

so we've taken to ships while waiting to be transported for the Wave.

Naturally, the ships were also ordered by the Queen.

Things are completely different from when King Trash was in charge.

It appears we were able to arrive in time.

I'm impressed you could assemble this big an army so quickly.

This is nothing. Preparing for the Waves is a key function of any kingdom.

You're here too?

Don't act like you just noticed!

I'm part of this too.

I'm happy to see you again, Melly.

Filo...

Me too!

Will the people on Cal Mira Island be safe?

The islanders have already been evacuated by Earl Habenburg.

Furthermore, it is likely that the Wave will occur on the sea.

This means we can focus on the battle.

You're right.

But we can't be complacent.

They still don't have any intention of fighting together.

After raising your levels on Cal Mira Island,

that should not pose too great a problem.

I doubt this Wave will be easier than the others.

Master Naofumi!

It's L'Arc and Therese!

They're joining in too?

Do you know them?

Yes. We met them on the way to Cal Mira Island.

They're very reliable.

Way more than the Stooge Heroes, that's for sure.

Really? I've never heard you think of someone that highly, Naofumi.

The foe will appear after we have been transported.

All hands, prepare for battle!

All right! It starts now!

What are those?

Barrel bombs.

They're made with liquor fruits.

Liquor fruits?

I see. So concentrated alcohol works on monsters too?

Maintain a constant barrage!

Sir Itsuki!

Shooting Star Bow!

We can't attack it unless it comes out of the water!

Let's go, Filo!

Okay!

What a job I've got...

Shield Hero, please hold the strongest enemy's attention.

Easy enough to say, but that thing's under the water!

Yes. That is why.

Hate Reaction!

Pulled it!

Now! Commence barrage!

Shooting Star Bow!

Shooting Star Spear!

Shooting Star Sword!

-Got it! -Got it!

They didn't damage it at all!

Raphtalia can deal more damage than them at her level.

But it isn't enough to be decisive.

The Heroes will handle the big ones!

Take down the small ones!

Hurry! Kill them!

It's no use! They keep coming up!

By the power I bear, I command you,

heed my law, and strike the one I will with water!

Zweit Aqua Shot!

Are you all right?

Yes, we are!

Melty!

Melly!

Princess Melty!

Melty!

You were...

Stay here now.

Celestial Wheel!

Amazing...

Don't miss this opportunity!

You really are strong, just like Naofumi said.

L'Arc! Get on that giant thing and smash it!

If you fall into the sea, Filo and I will get you out!

Well,

we do need to get rid of it first.

Get it out of the water like you did before!

Filo!

Okay!

Celestial Wheel!

I can do that too!

Do it, Filo!

Now finish it! Go!

Yes!

Spiral Strike!

Gemspark!

Thunderburst!

Combo skill, Thunder Wheel!

What amazing power!

You saved us. I expected as much.

Well, you can't beat it if you can only defend with that shield.

Wait, you--

Hey! Naofumi!

And thanks to you too.

What are you here for?

That's obvious. Loot.

Drops from monsters during Waves belong to us Heroes.

You didn't even do anything this time.

Listen up. The one who beat this monster--

"Heroes"?

What a joke.

These weaklings are the Heroes who are supposed to save the world?

What?

-What? -What?

Could you help to defeat the remaining monsters?

What just--

Master Naofumi!

What are you doing?

So you really were the Shield Hero?

Honestly, why does it have to be this way?

I'm asking you what you're doing!

You shouldn't need to ask.

For the sake of our world,

please die.

Just so you know, we've got no quarrel with you.

Yes. Please believe us.

You were so kind to us. We never thought this would happen.

It pains us to fight you.

Without me and without the Heroes, we can't repel the Waves!

That's exactly what we want.

What?

L'Arc, he won't understand unless you explain it properly.

Man, what a pain.

Basically, we're Heroes like you,

except from another world.

Another world?

Our world is in danger, just like yours is.

And to defend it...

Therese...

Yes, basically, we have things we need to protect as well.

That's why we can't lose. You understand that, right?

But if we have to fight, we're fighting fair and square.

So prepare to fight, Shield Hero.

He was after Naofumi from the start.

It seems certain that they are opposed to the Heroes.

That man is a criminal! Defeat him! Assist the Heroes!

Your Majesty!

Damn you.

You should've just stayed down.

Loose!

Therese!

Yes.

Power of gems which fill this world,

realize that which I seek.

I am Therese Alexanderite.

My friends, become a force to destroy what I will.

Gemspark!

Star Firestorm!

Raphtalia!

I'm fine!

Therese.

I know.

It's only to keep them from interfering.

My friends, defend those I will from the falling calamity!

Gemspark!

Calmstorm!

She attacks us, and then saves us?

What are they up to?

We're not in this to kill you.

Sorry you had to get involved, but just stay out.

Yes. All we want...

...is me?

We're doing this.

Master Naofumi!

I understand.

If you're going to be mean to Master, I'll beat you first!

Air Scythe One, Type One, Tornado!

L'Arc!

I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all.

I'm having a hard time with my grip, though.

Interesting shield you've got there.

Prioritize the safety of the soldiers and crew!

Move them to undamaged ships!

What about the Heroes who fell in the sea?

Their parties have gone to rescue them.

Leave them in their hands.

Princess Melty?

Head towards Naofumi right now!

What? But we just risked our lives to save Sir Itsuki...

I don't care! Just go!

The same thing won't work--

Master!

What was that?

He didn't hit me directly, but I took full damage?

Gemspark!

Karmic Flame!

I'm sorry.

What was that voice?

I see. You don't want to fight.

That's the bracelet I made for her.

Therese!

It's fine. I'll ask another one.

Drink these, you two.

Okay!

L'Arc's attack just now...

Does it ignore defense for damage?

No, then I wouldn't take that kind of damage from just a scratch.

Do I try and see?

I didn't think you could attack using my defense.

A good observation.

The stronger your defense, the more damage that attack will deal you.

In other words, it's perfect against the Shield Hero.

You thought I would deny it?

Unfortunately for you, this is a fair fight.

I'll show you everything up my sleeve.

A fair fight?

We're trying to kill each other!

He's always like this.

He keeps cramping my style.

Naofumi!

Melly?

Why?

I had her bring me.

The Wave isn't over yet!

Beat them already so we can go back together with Mother!

What?

Nothing.

L'Arc, maybe that attack of yours is fatal for me,

but if I dodge it, no skin off my nose.

And it's useless against my Air Strike Shield and Second Shield.

If it comes down to it, I can just use them.

Naofumi! Don't show them the cards up your sleeve!

It's fine.

You want to show each other our hands?

Then...

Let's do it!

Filo!

Poison?

L'Arc!

Zweit Aqua Shell!

Illusion magic?

There!

You fell for it!

Dog Bite!

-...heavy rain to blow them away! -...heavy rain to blow them away!

-Typhoon! -Typhoon!

I thought you would.

-Now! -Protect him!

We couldn't beat him with our best combination...

That one hit pretty hard.

And you could use the Shield so well?

You're good!

You talked about your Air Strike Shield as a defensive skill

so we would forget that you could use it as a trap.

Impressive psychological warfare.

Therese can both attack and defend at will as well.

She purposely used a flashy explosion to protect L'Arc from another strike.

These guys are definitely Heroes from another world.

Their attitudes and strengths

are far more deserving of the title than the Three Stooges.

And...

We got pretty bored fighting only monsters on Cal Mira Island.

The best fights are against humans who try to read and fool each other.

This isn't a situation where I can call him a rival.

If I don't kill him, he'll kill me.

I know that.

But...

Isn't this fun?

Naofumi?

We've got plenty of fight left in us.

What about you guys?

I come here to see you frolicking about?

Glass!

You're here already, Glass, girly?

You were taking far too long.

Who's she?

I can't stop shaking from just looking at her.

She's Glass. A mysterious woman who appeared in the last Wave.

And...

It seems she's one of their friends.

We meet again, Naofumi.

I would've preferred not to see you again.

Then...

Ring Dance Zero, Inverted Four Seasons!

Ring Dance Break, Shell Splitter!

Based on his shield, he is not fighting to win.

What?

What do you mean?

When he fights to win,

-he uses a far more menacing shield. -What?

You managed to injure L'Arc without that shield and blocked my skills.

You've grown quite strong, Naofumi.

Thank you for the kind compliment.

And so I must kill you with my own hands.
