Wait!
It's been a week since the battle in the coal mine,
Come back here!
and my shield's gained so many skills and abilities that I practically lost count of them all.
Animal Needle Shield
But I still let my guard down and I got hurt.
Master Naofumi!
Shield Prison!
The Wave is almost here.
It's about time we upgraded our equipment.
Master Naofumi!
I did it!
The Rising of the Shield Hero
Wave of Catastrophe
Wow, I hardly recognized you!
You've turned into a pretty little lady.
I haven't seen you in a while.
What've you been up to?
I finally learned correct table manners from the innkeeper.
I want to eat my food properly, like Master Naofumi does.
That's so?
You've really grown up.
Nothing like the pipsqueak you used to be.
You think?
Huh?
Well...
Someone's little hard to please,aren't they?
I'm actually pretty surprised myself.
This whole country is full of lolicons.
Wow, Miss. You're adorable.
Have another one on the house.
I can understand finding little girls cute, but...Jeez.
Take this, too.
Um,I'm really...
You people take it too far.
Alright,kid,listen.
Haven't you heard the story about what Demi-humans are like?
Excuse me! Can we forget about all that stuff?
We're here to buy armor for Master Naofumi!
You have some recommendations,don't you?
What are you talking about?
We're here for your equipment.
I appreciate the thought,Master Naofumi.
But can you protect yourself first for once?
You just got hurt in the plains.
Or did you forget that?
Of course I haven't forgotten, but you need a weapon...
Master Naofumi...
Stop messing around with your life,
or you will die.
Boss! This sword seems really sharp!
Yep,that's magic iron.
You feel like trying it out?
What kind of discount can you give us?
Well,don't worry about that,Miss.
Anything for you.
Thank you so much!
While we're at it, could you show us some armor, too?
Of course.
She sure stands up for herself now...
Or maybe she's just rude...
The most we can pay is around 180 silvers.
Well,in that case...
How about something like this?
It's not really my style,actually...
Hmm...
It'll take away all Master Naofumi's individuality.
No problem,I can whip up something special that is made to order.
Made of special?!
If you don't mind me using whatever materials I've got on hand, I can finish by tomorrow...
Please,please do!
Wasn't it nice of him to give us a discount on that sword?
Mhm.
He was so sweet to help us like that.
Don't you think?
I'm not convinced...
That wasn't me,I swear it!
It was me.
Are you ready to order?
I'll have the cheapest lunch set you got,
and she's gonna have the children's lunch set.
Master Naofumi! I'm not a kid anymore!
That's the last I wanna hear of it!
So,I'll get the cheapest lunch set, too!
And make it quick!
R-Right away.
You really don't need to force yourself to act grown-up.
I'm not forcing it!
Doesn't this make me look like a typical villain?
So cool...
It is really perfect! You look amazing!
I call it the Barbarian Armor!
Barbarian Armor
You rock, kid.
You look like a real bandit.
I'm supposed to be a hero, you know.
It's dashing!
Well, you did make it for me.
It'd be a shame not to wear it.
It's clear that everyone in town is on edge now.
Sure,The Wave is nearly here.
If only I knew when and where the damn thing was gonna begin,
I could come up with some kind of plan.
I can't believe it.
You mean nobody's told you anything about the clock?
You know that church you can see from the town square?
There's a huge hourglass inside.
When the last grain of sand inside it falls, the heroes and their parties
will be sent to wherever the Wave begins
At least that is what I hear.
Come this way.
Wow! Could this be the dragon hourglass the king was talking about?
Is it... Is it really counting down to the Wave?
Is that Naofumi I see?
Hey,what's this?
You're not still fighting with that flimsy equipment,are you?
Do you know who these people are,Master Naofumi?
Hey! Sir Motoyasu is talking to you,Naofumi!
Hi there.
I'm Motoyasu Kitamura,the Spear Hero.Nice to meet you.
Y-You're a hero?
Wow,you're cute.
Why are you praising a demi-human,Sir Motoyasu?
A girl as adorable as you shouldn't have to wield a sword.
Allow me to protect you from now on.
I'm sorry!
It's my sworn duty to fight side by side with Master Naofumi!
Are you kidding?
That's insane.
If you stay with Naofumi, you'll be in danger—
Tell me I'm not right.
Or don't you have the guts?
We're out of here!
Come on.You're not gonna tell me you haven't heard any of these rumors going around about him?
Rumors?
See you when the Wave hits.
Just stay out of our way.
U-Um,May I...
What?
Did something happen between you and the other heroes?
That's none of your business.
Master Naofumi,
I guess I'll
I'll turn in now.
Good night.
It's useless even when I tell the truth.
Nobody believes me, anyway.
The Day of the Wave of Catastrophe
Master Naofumi...
What is it?
Well, I...I just want to say...
that I'm truly grateful and honored I've met you.
You cured my illness and fed me warm meals.
You taught me how to live.
Your parents won't ever come back.
But we can prevent other kids from going through what you did.
And you gave me a reason to fight...
A reason to fight the Waves.
I am your sword!
Wherever you go, I will go with you.
That so?
Where are we?
There it is.
The Wave of Catastrophe.
Those guys... Raphtalia, we're going!
Look there, Naofumi-sama!
It's the village of Lute!
Have the villagers evacuated?
A flare?
They think their job's done once they let the knights know where they are?
The castle isn't far away, but by the time the knights get here,
the village will be wiped out!
We're going!
To Lute Village!
Right!
Are you all right?
Raphtalia, go help the villagers evacuate.
But what about you?
I'll...
I'll lure the enemy away.
One of the heroes!
The Shield Hero is here for us!
Listen up!
I'll keep them occupied!
Get out of here while you can!
H-Help me!
Air Strike Shield!
Hurry up and run!
Mom!
Shield Prison!
Mom!
Damn it!
This way, you stupid zombies!
Keep up with me if you can!
Why am I risking my life to defend total strangers?
I'm such a fool.
Come this way, everyone!
Hurry!
There's way too many of them.
How can I minimize the damage to the village?
Air Strike Shield!
S-Stay away!
Damn it! Stay away!
No... Stop!
Shit!
It's showing no signs of slowing down.
What are those guys doing?
Hurry up and...
Did I get them?
Sir Hero!
Why'd you come back here?
We all changed our minds after seeing how courageously you're fighting.
This village is our home.
We cannot run away and abandon it.
We'll fight with you.
Got it.
Help me keep the enemy pinned down until the evacuation's complete.
Die, monster!
You guys can't deal with this one! Fall back!
But...
Think about your families!
Don't die here for no reason!
Naofumi-sama!
Raphtalia!
Take care of it!
Well done.
A-Amazing.
We'll handle things here. Hurry up and evacuate.
Got it.
Please be safe.
Well, then...
The enemy's numbers aren't going down.
What now?
What's that?
Raphtalia!
We burned them all to death at once.
The Shield Hero?
You're quite tough.
Tch. They didn't care that we were here?
Did you do this knowing Naofumi-sama was here?
Depending on your answer, I'll have your head!
Draw your swords.
Are you with the Shield Hero?
I am Naofumi-sama's sword.
None may disrespect him in my presence.
You think you can point your blade at the royal knights, you damned demi-human?
What kind of knight neglects the people he's meant to defend?
Forget it, Raphtalia.
But...
Drop it.
That's right.
So long as you behave yourself,
we won't be forced to make any mistakes.
I guess.
I could sit tight and watch you morons become monster feed.
That doesn't sound too bad!
D-Don't falter! Get in formation...
Want to die an honorable death in battle?
Raphtalia!
Coming!
Listen here! We'll buy you time!
Use it to get in formation!
Let's go, Raphtalia.
Got it!
Let the Shield handle this.
We're heading to where the Three Heroes are!
Alright,go!
Phalanx Formation to support the Shield Hero!
Phalanx Formation!
To battle!
Master Naofumi, Look at the knights.
Idiots.Forget them. Let's go.
Wind Arrow!
Crimson Blade!
I'll end this!
Take this!
Lightning Spear!
Master Naofumi...The sky.
Walk in the park.
This wave was a piece of cake.
Yeah,And the next one will probably be easy, too.
By the way, anyone see Naofumi?
I'm glad he wasn't here.
He'd just hold us back.
For sure!
Heroes!
Job well done!
The knights, huh?
Isn't it a bit late to show up?
Thanks for the help.
Now, now, don't be that way.
His Highness has rewards for each one of you.
So,Shall we go?
Master Naofumi...
There aren't any more monster here. I killed them all...
That's good.
I guess it is.
But did we win?
Sir Hero...
Thank you very much.
Please accept our gratitude.
There's no way we can survive without your help and courage.
Well,It wasn't me.We were lucky.
No.
If you hadn't been here, we would never have been able to push these monsters back on our own
We'll never forget what you've done for us.
Yeah,whatever.
They looked truly grateful.
I guess.
Well,one thing's for sure at least.
We did save some kids from going through what I did.
Yeah.
Master Naofumi...
Good job today,Raphtalia.
I killed so many monsters.
Yeah.
