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

We have two months until the Phoenix awakens.

The Heroes must band together and grow stronger to defeat it.

We also need to prepare enough arms for the village to defend itself.

I hope everything'll be in shape in time.

Looks about right.

It... good.

It'll be ready in a minute. Wait a little longer.

It smells so good! I'm starving!

Hurry up and let me eat!

Wait, are you...

Keel?

Isn't it awesome? Big Sis Sadeena taught me!

Keel had the potential to gain a therianthrope form, so I taught him how.

How does it affect his abilities?

Every race is different, but generally speaking, they increase.

On that note, Fohl also has potential.

Keel is so much cuter like this!

Cut it out! That tickles!

Come on!

All right, time for breakfast!

Ren, have a minute?

What?

What is it?

Here. Care to serve it?

Huh?

Sir Amaki, the Sword Hero, will distribute your delicious breakfast.

Gather around!

Sword guy, give me some!

Hold on, I'm... getting it ready now.

That girl was...

Was it Wyndia?

Master!

Help!

Sit still!

No!

Master!

Filo!

Master!

Who is she?

She jumped onto Filo's back and wouldn't let go...

You must be the Shield Hero.

Yeah.

I am Ratotille Anthreya. My friends call me Rat.

Nice to meet you.

It's only natural for you to be suspicious.

For starters, maybe you'd like to read this.

From the Queen?

What does it say?

She's an alchemist who was exiled from Faubrey for various reasons,

but she'll be an invaluable resource for the domain if properly used.

I'd like a correction to that.

I was exiled

because they were all incompetent fools who didn't understand my research.

What's your speciality?

Monsters. My job is modifying monsters to make them stronger.

But they claimed I was researching demons

and destroyed my lab and killed my subjects!

That was a disaster!

But...

Maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

I got to meet a filolial that understands human language and can transform.

Save me, Melly!

Aw, my lovely research subject...

You called yourself Ratotille?

You can call me Rat.

What's your objective?

If I had to name one, filolials.

Do you mean Filo?

The queen filolials in legends are one thing,

but common filolials assist humans in all parts of life, especially transportation.

I want to make a monster that can do that.

That's a monster stable, right?

Would you mind if I took a look inside?

I'd like to know more about the monsters that a Hero raises.

Should we let her?

I guess we can monitor her for now.

Oh?

I've never seen a caterpilland this big at this level.

One, two... three?

There's one more than before.

Where did it come from?

No!

No, you can't!

It's not here! This one isn't here!

What is she trying to do?

I don't know...

What is this?

Master Naofumi...

These...

We'll take care of them!

Please! Don't throw them away!

Now, now. Sure, you can take care of them, but this many is...

I can manage them for you.

We need a specialist to raise the monsters to be stronger...

I hate it when people tell me lies.

You'll be under my slave seal.

Is that fine with you?

Yes, anything for my research.

All right.

Then that's settled. Good to work with you, Count.

Um, Shield Hero...

We have some supplies from Siltvelt here too.

Siltvelt...

What's this giant egg supposed to be?

A dragon.

A dragon?! This is a dragon egg?

Filo won't be happy to see it.

Yes, she won't.

Higher-order dragons will copulate with any species. They're a menace.

They can destroy entire ecosystems.

That's not true! Dragons are strong and cool!

I'm talking about ecosystems.

I can make monsters that are even stronger than dragons.

I can raise a dragon that's even stronger than that!

Guess we can try raising it.

Rat, can you handle it?

Let's put a monster seal on it first.

Also, I have a request for you, Count.

Huh?

What's with the egg, kid?

It seems that it will have better stats if Master Naofumi keeps it warm.

Why do I have to do this?

Ren, sorry, but can you take care of this?

Sorry. My Curse seems to make anything I touch degrade.

No!

The Sword Hero can't touch it!

Then you'll have to do it.

Where's Raph?

Why do you have to bring up Raph now?

Here. This is what you asked for.

A meteoric iron sword.

RESULT - METEORIC IRON SWORD. HIGH

It's been a long time since I forged a sword.

I can't hold a candle to my master.

Mister, mind if I try it?

Sure.

I'm done now. The skill name is "Stardust Blade."
