Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (The Rising of the Shield Hero)

Splendidly done, brave heroes.

Tonight, we celebrate!

Enjoy yourselves to the fullest!

Hooray!

That's the heroes for you.

Our country has nothing to worry about.

Screw this party.

I never would have come here if it wasn't for the reward.

I hear the casualties were in the single digits this time.

Bless our heroes.

I held my ground against a massive monster

and fought with pride as a royal knight...

What?

I'm truly honored to meet you, Spear Hero.

Do you happen to have a lover?

Motoyasu-sama is still tired from the battle.

You there.

Motoyasu-sama...

Naofumi-sama...

Aren't you hungry?

The food here seems heavenly!

If you want to eat, go ahead.

You should join me.

I'll pass.

Teleport people with me, huh?

Persons or objects can be registered to allow them to be teleported with you when summoned by the hourglass.

If only I'd noticed this sooner...

Let's eat together.

Have a bite.

No, I...

It's really good, you know?

See?

Naofumi...

Duel me.

The Rising of the Shield Hero

Lullaby at Dawn

I heard that Raphtalia-chan's your slave.

And what if she is?

You...

Raphtalia is my slave.

So what?

Listen! It's not right to enslave others!

Listen to yourself.

Slavery is legal in this country, anyway.

But we're heroes from another world!

We can't behave that way here!

That's just your opinion.

I disagree.

Fight me!

If I win, free Raphtalia-chan.

And what if I win?

Then... you can keep things as they are.

Ridiculous.

Naofumi-sama?

He has a slave in his party?

I thought he couldn't stoop any lower, but he has.

I overheard your conversation.

A hero, using a demi-human as his slave?

It seems that you are rotten to the core.

I order you to accept his challenge!

That won't be necessary!

I'm with Naofumi-sama of my own free will.

What are you playing at?!

Poor girl.

You've been placed under a curse that compels you to defend your master.

Don't worry.

Once Motoyasu-dono wins, we shall release you from that curse.

Hey! Knock it off!

Draw your swords!

If you won't heed my order, I shall take her from you by force.

I hope you're not thinking of running from this.

You scumbag!

If I win, you'd better return Raphtalia!

And how exactly will you win, Shield Hero?

The duel between the Spear Hero and the Shield Hero will now begin!

This duel will end when one of the combatants is pinned or admits defeat.

Legendary Weapon Rule Violation: Holding non-assigned weapon.

This duel will take place in the presence of King Melromarc and the Pope,

and it is thus legitimate and official.

Motoyasu-sama!

Best of luck!

Remember that folk tale about the irresistible spear and the immovable shield?

Naofumi, be a man and admit defeat.

Ready...

Begin!

You stopped it?

I guess you're not the Shield Hero for nothing.

You lose.

In this battle between an irresistible spear and an immovable shield,

you lost the moment you couldn't pierce my shield!

Chaos Spear!

Damn!

A strike using the shield? It would never...

Ow!

Wh-Why?

A balloon? What's that doing here?

What the hell are you playing at?

If I can't win anyway, I might as well make you as miserable as I can.

Screw you!

Fight me fair and square!

Two-Headed Black Dog Shield Exclusive Skill: Dog Bite

Get off me!

Air Strike Shield!

Shield Prison!

Hey! Stop that!

Shit!

That hurts! Knock it off, you cowardly cheat!

It can't be.

If this keeps up, the Shield Hero might win.

Naofumi-san's got the upper hand.

Yeah.

What does that lowly Shield Hero think he's doing to the Spear Hero?

Have you no respect for the sanctity of a duel?!

Hurry up and admit defeat.

Do you want to be embarrassed even more, Mr. Hot Stuff?

Wh-Who would ever surrender now?

I see.

Then...

Shall I focus the attacks on your face and your crotch?

I'm a cowardly cheat, after all!

D-Don't!

Magic?

It was her!

You bitch!

Lightning Spear!

Victory is mine!

Hold it.

Someone interfered in our one-on-one duel.

It doesn't count.

Huh?

Your party member messed up that duel!

Sore loser much?

No!

Everyone there saw it!

You saw Myne use her magic, didn't you?

I know you saw it!

She used her magic to help him win...

No... There's no way they didn't see it.

There's no need to listen to the words of scum.

Spear Hero,

you are the victor!

I knew you could do it,

Motoyasu-sama.

Aww...

Shield Hero, I know you must feel terrible.

It's really too bad that you'll have to go back to fighting alone.

You were brilliant, Motoyasu-dono.

My daughter, Malty, was right to pick you.

Of course, Father.

I was so shocked when I heard Myne was a princess.

I am.

But I fight to contribute to the world's peace.

So these guys planned everything...

The daughter framed me to get in the good graces of her favorite hero.

And the father distorted the facts for the sake of his daughter.

This duel was a setup all along, too!

The Shield Hero has forced that girl to be his slave.

Please save her.

Do they want to see me suffer that badly?

I didn't come to this world because I wanted to.

You're the ones who summoned me!
