Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari Season 3 (The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3)

Team Rock Valley is struggling against the veterans in the Topac Family!

I thought they were gonna be good.

This is all they got?

Let's finish this quick!

Can Team Rock Valley escape from this predicament?

My name is Naofumi Iwatani.

I'm originally from modern Japan.

I was summoned to an otherworld as the Shield Hero

to repel the Waves of Catastrophe.

However, because one of the four guardian beasts which defend this world,

the Spirit Tortoise awakened, there won't be any Waves for a while.

The guardian beasts use the energy from the souls of the people they kill

in order to suppress the Waves.

I slayed the Spirit Tortoise.

The next guardian beast, the Phoenix, was supposed to awaken immediately after,

but the energy we took back from Kyo formed a barrier.

We have three and a half months until the Phoenix awakens.

Three and a half months.

I need to strengthen my domain's defences

and prepare to slay the Phoenix.

But...

During the battle with Kyo, we were cursed with Sacrifice Aura.

Raphtalia's, Filo's, and my stats have fallen across the board.

Rohillot, Hycasia, Medeus...

Why are the armies that joined to fight the Spirit Tortoise still here?

Those flags... They're from Faubrey.

What's a kingdom that didn't participate

in fighting the Spirit Tortoise doing here?

I haven't been able to cast the Liberation Aura that Ost taught me since then.

I don't know if I'll be able to use it again.

I'm the Shield, Motoyasu is the Spear, Ren is the Sword, Itsuki is the Bow.

We each need to trust in each other's power-up methods to get even stronger.

Missing?!

The three Heroes repelled the Wave

after you went to the otherworld, Sir Iwatani.

So it broke at the same time as Kyo invoking the Wave there?

All was well up until then.

Perhaps they felt responsibility for the devastation.

Their whereabouts are unknown.

What is wrong with them?

The Spirit Tortoise has been slain. The Phoenix is soon to awaken.

Yet the Four Cardinal Heroes have vanished. The situation is grave.

The Waves of Catastrophe and the Four Guardian Beasts.

My people have no recourse but to bear these calamities.

Sir Iwatani,

please avail us of your powers as the Shield Hero this once.

You don't need to ask me. I'll fight to defend my domain.

What about you?

The three kingdoms to the east and Faubrey are on your borders.

Isn't the situation grave for you as Queen of Melromarc?

After the battle against the Spirit Tortoise,

the Faubrey forces came,

claiming to be reinforcements. They have remained nearby since.

The other three kingdoms grew suspicious and remained as well.

Melromarc has formed an alliance with them.

For the moment, in any case.

Oh! Melly!

Honestly...

Long time no see!

Looks like you're doing well, Filo.

- I'm sorry, Raphtalia. - Huh?

The national religion changed from the Three Heroes Church

to the Four Heroes Church,

but there are still so many people who look down on Naofumi and demi-humans.

Oh, no, it's fine.

Mother is trying to change the ministries, but they were Father's loyal retainers.

She's having a hard time.

Oh, I see.

The Vassal Heroes for this world, the Seven Star Heroes, was it?

What's going on with them?

They are active in their various lands,

but we are unable to contact most of them.

What's going on?

My subordinates are still investigating.

We have no useful information at the moment.

We know the location of the Staff Hero alone.

The Staff Hero...

Where are they now?

They are here in Melromarc.

What?

Sir Iwatani...

Would you come with me?

There is something I would like to show you.

Melly, are you going somewhere?

Yes. To Seyaette.

- You mean to near Master's domain? - Yeah.

Then we can play together again! Yay!

Managing the domain is a lot of work for Eclair. I need to go help.

I wouldn't have expected a princess to do so much work.

It's my duty as a princess!

We need to finish packing and head out today. Let's hurry!

As you wish, I moost sey.

"I moost sey"?

This is...

We collected them from the Spirit Tortoise's corpse.

You never miss a beat.

CAUTION - FUSING WITH THE SPIRIT TORTOISE HEART SHIELD

UNLOCKED - A NEW SHIELD HAS BEEN FORCIBLY UNLOCKED

RECIPE - MIRACULOUS MEDICINAL RECIPE SPIRIT TORTOISE SACRED TREE SHIELD

A parting gift from Ost...

Sir Iwatani, it pains me to inform you of this,

but Malt...

Bitch has gone into hiding.

There are reports of her being seen near the northern border.

The north...

Please do take care.

She is surely plotting something unseemly...

Accursed Shield Hero! Why are you here...

So he was the Staff Hero?

Kid!

Hard at work, mister?

That right? The Spirit Tortoise and some otherworld? You had it rough.

Yeah.

CAUTION - STATS LOWERED DUE TO A STATUS EFFECT

Kid?

What's wrong? You spaced out.

Oh, nothing. Don't mind me.

Oh, right, mister. I wanted to ask...

We used this equipment in the otherworld.

We haven't been able to use it since we got back.

What's up with this stuff? They've got some weird effects on them.

Master Naofumi, is something the matter?

Nothing, just thought it looked good on you.

You had great stats when you equipped it too.

So you want me to make them usable in this world?

And for as cheap as you can.

Man, is that the only thing on your mind?

How about coming to my domain and setting up shop there?

You want to take even more advantage of me? You gotta be kidding.

I'll pay you 30 silver a month.

I make more than that right now!

Then 25.

Why'd it go down?!

They might claim to follow the Four Heroes Church,

but people don't change as quickly as words.

It seems very difficult.

We're a long way away from Melty's ideal kingdom.

It has been far too long, Shield Hero.

I was just thinking it was about time you would come again.

Not many.

There aren't many slaves here. What happened?

Oh, you weren't aware?

But how were you not aware of the Shield Hero's request

to return the former residents of Lurorona Village to their homes?

That Queen. That was unnecessary.

I only said that the former residents

would make it easier to restore the domain.

Before the edict was issued,

nobles and merchants offloaded slaves from the village

beyond the kingdom's borders.

How much would it cost to buy them back?

It would cost at least 30 gold for one slave now.

Raphtalia cost 30 silver!

What?! They're 100 times more now?!

Except I was 31 silver.

Why have the prices increased that much?!

Well, yes, the market is quite unpredictable. Yes.
