Sir.
May I recommend this slave?
Medical Herb x 3
Medical Herb x 18
Copper x 50 / Silver x 1
It's level 75.
That's close to twenty times my level.
How much for this one?
Well, it is highly capable in battle.
How does fifteen gold pieces sound?
Showing me your most expensive slave knowing that I can't afford it, huh?
Indeed. You're sure to become one of my best patrons,
so I need you to develop a keen eye, you see.
Well...
Now that you've seen my best,
let me ask you: What kind of slave would you like?
One that's cheap and obedient.
In other words,
a demi-human?
They aren't suited for combat or manual labor, though.
If I need them in battle, I'll train them.
That's an amusing response,
when you don't believe in people.
But slaves aren't people.
Training one is no different from upgrading my shield.
Well, you've got me there.
These are the cheapest slaves I can offer you.
From the left...
Raise your head.
That half-raccoon is ill both physically and mentally.
I'm having a real hard time with her myself.
Her previous owner loved his torture, you see.
I doubt she'll last much longer.
I've decided.
I'll take this one.
The Rising of
the Shield Hero
I've been living in a void, but I found a spark of hope
hikari mitsuketa kuuhaku no jikan
In this alien world that I've been summoned to
mayoikonda chuudzuri no sekai
I don't know what to believe, and yet I keep searching for
shinjirareru kotae sagashi motomete tada samayotte
The truth as I wander
Yeah, the light just slips through my fingers
Yeah, yubi no sukima nigeru light
I've got no time to waste now
yosomi shiteru hima mo nai
I let out cries as my wounds open again
uketa kizuato sae katte ni seijaku kirisaiteku
Everyone, anyone, dead or alive
dare mo kare mo dead or alive
With only defense, you can't survive
mamoru dake ja can't survive
I don't wanna lie to myself
Keep on the fight, get right
I'll never lose and cry
Keep running day and night
Time to ride
No matter what anyone says I'll find my way
Yeah, I'll never go away
Never go away
Now nobody can stop me, no way
I'll make sure that I will never ever forget
wasurete shimau koto no nai you ni
I'll take back everything that I've lost on the way
nakushita mono subete torimodosu tame
Rise suddenly in this world
I don't look back, yeah
And as my journey is about to end
kurikaesu tabi no hate
I recall my failures I need to mend
nouri ni nokotta shippai nante
I'll redo everything now, turn it around
zenbu torikaese ima turnover
Rise suddenly in this world
I don't look back, yeah
The Slave Girl
Let's begin.
Hey...
Worry not.
The pain will dissipate soon.
The slave crest on her chest makes it impossible for her to disobey you.

"Party member settings"?
Now this girl is all yours.
Thirty silvers, right?
There's one extra in here.
That's your commission.
You were going to wring it out of me anyway, weren't you?
You certainly are perceptive.
Well, I guess I should know your name.
C'mon, let's hear it.
What's your name?
R-Raphtalia...
Raphtalia, huh?
Let's go.
I'm looking forward to your next visit.
He really did choose her.
I'm getting goosebumps!
Welcome!
Oh, it's you, kid.
What's with the girl?
Give me a weapon she can use.
Keep it under six silvers.
Took you long enough.
I-I'm sorry.
Whatever.
Raphtalia, draw your knife.
Let me see you stab and burst this thing.
N-No...
That's an order!
You'll only hurt yourself by refusing.
Do it!
Too weak!
Put more effort into it!
Do it!
Huh? I get EXP, too?
Probably because you set her as a companion when forming the pact.
Wait, you didn't do that with the lady from before?
Damn that woman...
Listen up.
From here on out, I expect you to fight monsters for me.
I bought you with what little money I had.
You'd better help me recoup your cost, at least.
Kid, you ain't dyin' a pretty death.
Thanks for the compliment.
Quit sitting around. Let's go.
Y-Yes!
Sheesh...
I don't know if it's our country's fault, or if the kid's just gone bad.
Three silvers left...
Get a move on!
We don't have all day, you little shits!
What's wrong with you, you moron?!
I'm sorry!
Are you hungry?
No.
You can't fight on an empty stomach.
Let's get some lunch.
We don't serve demi-humans
U-Um...
What's wrong?
This place...
Hurry up!
Welcome!
Ugh, it's the Shield Hero...
Is he that rapist?
Keep it down! He'll hear you!
Can I order?
Huh?
I-I guess...
Look, it's a demi-human.
Why's she here?
The cheapest lunch set you have.
Someone kick her out!
And she'll have whatever that kid's having.
That'll be nine coppers.
Sure.
Why?
Did you want something else?
Why are you getting it for me?
Because you looked like you wanted to try it.
Here's your food.
Aren't you going to eat?
Can I really?
Yes, just eat up.
Drink this.
Is it good?
Yeah!
I still can't taste a thing.
Raphtalia!
Y-Yes!
Now!

Master...
who are you?
A hero. The shield one.
You mean... one of the Four Great Heroes?
Yeah.
Raphtalia...
Do you know about the four legendary heroes?
Yep! The sword one, the bow one, the spear one,
and the one with the shield!
Correct.
The Shield Hero, in particular, treated us demi-humans very well.
Really? I'd like to meet him.
If you're a good girl, I'm sure you'll meet him one day.
The Shield Hero...
U-Um... what is your name?
Iwatani Naofumi.
Iwatani... Naofumi.
Drink this.
It's medicine I prepared.
Apparently, it can cure mild colds.
Drink it.
So bitter!
Good medicine tastes bitter.
Just drink it!
Raphtalia, we're sorry.
Please forgive us Raphtalia,
we want you to live!
No!
Dad! Mom!
What's wrong?
Calm down!
No... Help...
Just calm down.
No! Dad, mom!
Don't cry.
It's okay.
The
Rising
of
the
Shield
Hero
It's all right.
The quality's not bad.
Are you well-versed in making medicines, Sir Hero?
Yesterday was my first try.
Oh?
Which is more profitable, selling herbs or medicine?
Due to the Wave's impact, medicine is flying off the shelves lately.
I'd pay more for medicine than for herbs.
I see.
In total, this is worth four silvers.
Say, do you have any tools you don't use anymore?
Here we go!
Okay!
One, two...
Raphtalia.
Do you want one of those balls?
N-Not at all!
I don't want one at all!
So she wants one, huh?
You can play with it after we're done with work.
Thank you!
Coming!
The Shield Hero...
I'd like to rent a room.
My companion might cry out at night, though.
You will let us stay, right?
O-Of course! I'll prepare a room at once!
I have to find a way to survive before the next Wave of Catastrophe hits.
All right. We can go a little deeper into the forest now...
A rabbit?
Watch out!
Now, Raphtalia! Stab it!
What's wrong? Get on with it!
B-But... it'll bleed if I do...
Hurry up!
I'm scared of blood!
Listen to me.
If you can't fight, then I won't be able to look after you anymore.
A Wave that threatens the world's existence is coming soon.
I have to get as strong as I can before it does.
But defense is all I'm good for.
I need someone to fight for me.
If you can't do it, I'll get someone else.
So...
You're going to fight the Catastrophe?
That is my job.
Got it.
Master... I'll fight for you.
So please don't abandon me.
All right.
This is reality.
Not a game.
If I want to live, I have no choice but to fight!
That's for a new weapon.
Time to get the little miss a sword, then.
One on the short side would be good to start off.
How about this?
It's a short sword made of iron.
Boss...
is there a town or village nearby that we can travel to with our equipment?
Well, with your stuff, it'd have to be here.
The Village of Lute
How much?
Around two silvers in all, I'd say.
Is that so?
Hey, do you know any quick ways to earn money around here?
The ores from that coalpit over there should fetch a decent amount, but...
Is there a catch?
Ever since the first Wave, it's become home to a bunch of dangerous monsters.
Nobody dares approach it anymore.
I see.
Sheesh! I don't know what those heroes they summoned are even doing.

Rope Shield...
Just what it sounds like, huh.
All right.
First Shield!
Master?
It's nothing. Let's go.
There are dangerous monsters here, apparently.
The moment things go south, we run.
Make sure to keep up.
Okay!
U-Um...
What is it?
How should I address you, Master?
Call me whatever.
Th-Then...
Is this the place?
All right.
Are those...
This will fetch a pretty penny.
Raphtalia, let's try over there next...
No!
You okay?
A d-dog monster...
killed all the villagers, even dad and mom...
During the first Wave, huh?
So that's why she starts crying every night.
Is that the same dog that killed your parents?
No.
Listen, Raphtalia.
Take that thing out here and now.
If you fight and make me stronger,
we can fend off the Waves of Catastrophe and prevent that tragedy from reoccurring.
Your parents won't ever come back.
But we can prevent other kids from going through what you did.
And all I'm capable of is making sure you can fight as best you can!
Now, Raphtalia!
Stab it with your sword!
Now!
No...
If I die, so will you!
Please no!
Then hurry up and kill it!
This is an order!
Raphtalia, forget it.
If you can't fight, then get out of here.
But what about you?
I'll buy time for you to escape.
What?
That'd be...
just like then...
Hurry up and go!
Master!
No...
No!
Don't go!
Don't leave me!
Don't die!
First Shield!
Raphtalia!
Well done.
Naofumi!
Hey, even with the shield's power, the wound still hurts!
Don't ever die! Please don't leave me alone!
Naofumi!
She chose my name, huh?
You attack, I defend.
That way neither of us will die.
Right.
We're leaving once I feed this monster to my shield.
Okay, Naofumi.
Get off already.
A bit longer...

Of course.
Here. A kids' meal...
isn't complete without this.
