WEBVTT
00:17.510 --> 00:22.340
Naofumi-sama saved my life.
00:22.340 --> 00:28.520
Atla would've died in a slave's cell in
Zeltoble if the Shield Hero hadn't helped her.
00:30.390 --> 00:32.500
There you are.
00:35.210 --> 00:39.330
Are the children doing well?
The white tiger siblings.
00:40.160 --> 00:44.330
They went to Siltvelt along
with the Shield Hero.
00:45.860 --> 00:49.710
You really let the two
white tiger siblings go?
00:50.080 --> 00:51.900
To Siltvelt?
01:02.900 --> 01:04.650
Magic Prism!
01:07.170 --> 01:08.630
Now's our chance!
01:08.630 --> 01:09.780
Stand fast!
01:10.140 --> 01:12.040
Drifa Shine Ray!
01:34.510 --> 01:37.080
In the war with my nation,
01:38.820 --> 01:42.810
the Siltvelt leader, Tairan, died.
01:46.110 --> 01:50.410
The white tiger demi-humans were forced
to bear full responsibility for the war,
01:50.410 --> 01:53.560
and lost any position they
had in their country.
01:55.630 --> 01:59.730
Those two carry Tairan's blood.
01:59.730 --> 02:02.000
Who knows what will happen to them?
02:02.270 --> 02:05.750
They have their own path to follow.
02:05.750 --> 02:06.730
But...
02:10.450 --> 02:13.390
Iwatani-sama is with them.
02:14.680 --> 02:17.670
For now, let us pray for their safety.
02:29.970 --> 02:32.570
I've had enough of this!
02:42.160 --> 02:46.240
The Rising of the Shield Hero
04:05.530 --> 04:09.450
Episode 3: A True People
04:09.880 --> 04:12.370
What is that white tiger
demi-human going to say?
04:16.090 --> 04:18.430
White tiger demi-human with tainted blood...
04:18.960 --> 04:20.350
What?
04:20.840 --> 04:24.520
She bears human blood?
04:24.520 --> 04:26.180
Could she be Tyran's...
04:26.180 --> 04:29.510
White tiger! You have no right to speak!
04:29.510 --> 04:30.840
Begone!
04:32.480 --> 04:35.890
"Tainted blood"? "Right to speak"?
04:36.390 --> 04:37.660
Absurd...
04:38.330 --> 04:41.080
How can you say that after poisoning us?
04:41.310 --> 04:43.320
You have no right to accuse me.
04:43.320 --> 04:46.540
The people of Siltvelt...
especially all of you...
04:46.540 --> 04:47.700
Be silent!
04:47.700 --> 04:48.810
I will not!
04:49.550 --> 04:52.990
You've forgotten the most important
thing of all, haven't you?
04:53.600 --> 04:57.700
If I stop here, I'll never forgive myself.
04:57.980 --> 04:59.300
Atla...
05:00.110 --> 05:03.350
As Naofumi-sama's shield, I declare that...
05:03.350 --> 05:05.600
You're wrong! All of you!
05:09.730 --> 05:12.530
We're "wrong"?
05:13.450 --> 05:14.470
Yes.
05:14.470 --> 05:17.970
You're disrespecting the Shield Hero.
05:18.300 --> 05:19.660
What?
05:19.660 --> 05:22.140
None of us would ever disrespect the hero!
05:22.140 --> 05:27.240
We're welcoming him with everything we can!
05:27.560 --> 05:32.110
Then why are you ignoring
the Shield Hero's request?
05:33.330 --> 05:38.340
And then there's your continued
disrespectful behavior since Naofumi-sama's arrival...
05:38.340 --> 05:42.180
I'm shocked at your own lack of faith,
05:42.180 --> 05:45.910
and disappointed in myself for
failing to recognize it in advance.
05:46.910 --> 05:49.730
Now, I ask you this question.
05:49.730 --> 05:52.940
How was Siltvelt founded?
05:55.770 --> 06:01.530
Th-The Shield Hero made it for
us demi-humans and beastmen?
06:01.810 --> 06:07.240
Yes. It was founded the same way as
the village Naofumi-sama restored.
06:08.050 --> 06:11.530
The same as Lurolona Village,
the place that accepted me.
06:27.500 --> 06:29.640
Right now, we're still slaves, but...
06:29.640 --> 06:30.690
And...
06:31.490 --> 06:35.100
Naofumi welcomed many beastmen and
demi-humans to Lurolona Village,
06:35.100 --> 06:39.800
giving them not just a place to live,
but hope for the future.
06:40.280 --> 06:42.310
We want to repay him for
everything he's done.
06:42.730 --> 06:46.530
I serve Naofumi-sama. I love him.
06:47.900 --> 06:52.420
For making me a proud member of the village.
06:52.810 --> 06:57.370
For making you into citizens of Siltvelt!
06:58.840 --> 07:00.780
That's right.
07:00.780 --> 07:04.300
We are the proud people of Siltvelt.
07:04.590 --> 07:07.300
Everything we do, we do for the Shield Hero.
07:07.720 --> 07:12.160
We owe the Shield Hero,
Naofumi-sama, our lives.
07:12.160 --> 07:13.470
Am I wrong?
07:14.380 --> 07:19.390
Yes... while we live in different countries,
we all feel the same way!
07:19.710 --> 07:23.400
But our country is much bigger
than a tiny village...
07:23.400 --> 07:27.220
Then was your country large
and powerful from the start?
07:28.380 --> 07:33.200
Do you feel the village Naofumi-sama has
brought back to life is too small to matter?
07:33.200 --> 07:34.390
But...
07:34.960 --> 07:42.920
Think about why we have our
power, our claws, our fangs!
07:43.200 --> 07:45.410
Is it to rule the world?
07:45.710 --> 07:48.180
Or to protect the people?
07:48.180 --> 07:49.630
I-It's to...
07:49.970 --> 07:51.590
I told you!
07:51.590 --> 07:55.600
It all exists for Naofumi-sama,
the Shield Hero!
07:56.760 --> 07:59.640
Even if you mock me for my tainted blood,
07:59.950 --> 08:06.590
the blood in my body, my instincts,
and my soul, all cry out to me...
08:07.030 --> 08:10.120
To show my loyalty to the Shield Hero!
08:11.250 --> 08:14.130
This is the age of the Waves of Calamity...
08:14.690 --> 08:20.080
We must renew our vow of loyalty to him!
08:20.080 --> 08:22.540
That's right! Swear our loyalty to the hero!
08:22.540 --> 08:26.290
He must be “The Hero
of the Time to Come”!
08:27.110 --> 08:29.510
Disgusting white tiger...
08:29.510 --> 08:31.610
Atla...
08:31.610 --> 08:33.350
Um, well...
08:33.350 --> 08:37.250
I don't think she's said anything wrong,
so I can't speak up.
08:37.250 --> 08:40.190
Yeah... she's impressive.
08:40.190 --> 08:47.140
Our task is to serve the Shield Hero and
save the world from the coming disaster.
08:47.530 --> 08:50.610
This girl has helped us remember that.
08:51.270 --> 08:55.360
And yet you would poison the Shield Hero?
08:55.680 --> 08:57.750
That's right! That's unforgivable!
08:57.750 --> 08:59.270
You deserve death!
08:59.270 --> 09:01.500
Why would you commit such a heinous act?
09:01.770 --> 09:03.840
You're accusing us?
09:03.840 --> 09:06.190
Where's your proof?
09:06.190 --> 09:07.760
Sadeena! Filo!
09:08.410 --> 09:12.240
Yup! We brought 'em!
09:12.770 --> 09:15.000
Oh, Master!
09:19.020 --> 09:20.480
Right this way.
09:22.210 --> 09:28.330
I-I was given the honor of preparing
breakfast for the Shield Hero.
09:28.330 --> 09:31.050
My name is Denny, and I'm a court chef.
09:40.780 --> 09:42.500
Master!
09:42.500 --> 09:45.040
Can we go back to breakfast?
09:45.040 --> 09:47.450
Can I eat it? I don't care if it's poisoned.
09:47.450 --> 09:50.090
Once we're done dealing
with the poison thing.
09:50.400 --> 09:51.550
Okay.
09:52.230 --> 09:57.630
I've had that man, Ethan, keep an eye
on the palace for the last three days.
10:00.390 --> 10:02.510
A white tiger, working with the hero?
10:03.550 --> 10:07.890
The welcome I received was more
than enough to make me suspect you all.
10:08.120 --> 10:12.470
And then I saw this man adding
poison to today's breakfast.
10:13.780 --> 10:15.350
Please forgive me.
10:15.350 --> 10:17.020
It's not me.
10:17.920 --> 10:19.360
I just...
10:19.360 --> 10:22.260
Don't worry. Your family's safe.
10:22.790 --> 10:26.360
We've got them somewhere safe.
10:27.360 --> 10:28.910
Shield Hero...
10:29.170 --> 10:30.880
Who told you to do it?
10:35.100 --> 10:36.840
Jaralis-sama...
10:40.520 --> 10:43.340
I only did it because he threatened me!
10:43.750 --> 10:46.030
He's not lying.
10:46.030 --> 10:47.050
You heard the man.
10:49.670 --> 10:52.990
I don't believe we've met.
10:52.990 --> 10:55.640
Are you sure it was me?
10:55.640 --> 10:58.310
You weren't just given my name?
10:58.750 --> 11:00.080
Well...
11:00.310 --> 11:05.150
Hero, this is probably a
plot to ruin my good name!
11:05.150 --> 11:07.380
Or do you have some other proof?
11:07.380 --> 11:08.620
That's right!
11:08.620 --> 11:09.780
Show me proof!
11:09.780 --> 11:11.140
What more proof do you need?
11:11.140 --> 11:12.920
Just admit it already!
11:12.920 --> 11:14.000
This is ridiculous!
11:13.040 --> 11:14.990
I figured he wouldn't let it rattle him...
11:21.790 --> 11:23.200
Enough!
11:23.200 --> 11:24.200
Let's go, Filo!
11:24.200 --> 11:25.490
Okay!
11:25.490 --> 11:29.390
Either way, I'm not staying in a
country that tries to poison me!
11:29.390 --> 11:31.100
You can figure the rest out for yourselves.
11:31.100 --> 11:32.540
Hero!
11:32.540 --> 11:33.780
Wait!
11:34.310 --> 11:37.220
I have something I'd like to say.
11:37.640 --> 11:39.830
I suggest that the Shield Hero there
11:39.830 --> 11:44.310
is not really the "Hero of the Time
to Come" that we've been waiting for!
11:44.310 --> 11:46.960
Jaralis! Your disrespect goes too far!
11:46.960 --> 11:52.470
I am truly concerned for the future of Siltvelt,
and want to see it prosper.
11:52.470 --> 11:55.590
I don't want to see us
make the wrong decision,
11:55.590 --> 11:59.550
and that is why I am forced to speak up
against the Shield Hero at risk to my life.
11:59.550 --> 12:04.690
Naofumi-sama... no... God
does not make mistakes!
12:07.390 --> 12:12.350
Or are you so foolish as to suggest
he's not the real Shield Hero?
12:12.350 --> 12:14.600
I wouldn't go that far.
12:14.600 --> 12:20.400
I'm simply asking if what we are experiencing
right now are truly the Waves of Calamity.
12:21.930 --> 12:24.950
If these are truly the Waves
that will destroy the world,
12:24.950 --> 12:30.630
then why was the Shield Hero summoned
to Melromarc, and not here?
12:32.050 --> 12:38.330
That's all the proof we need that
he's not the hero we desire.
12:38.330 --> 12:41.100
Is he truly the "Hero of the Time to Come"?
12:41.100 --> 12:43.370
That's my question!
12:48.900 --> 12:53.060
The Shield Hero isn't the
"Hero of the Time to Come"?
12:53.910 --> 12:57.900
Why was the hero summoned to Melromarc?
12:58.250 --> 13:02.180
Is this why Jaralis was so calm?
13:03.490 --> 13:05.610
The answer is clear.
13:05.610 --> 13:07.740
This is the time that was spoken of,
13:07.740 --> 13:11.900
and so the Shield Hero was summoned
along with the other three.
13:11.900 --> 13:15.840
The Heroes' strength lies
in how they work together.
13:16.770 --> 13:23.130
Thus, he was summoned to Melromarc in
order to work with the other heroes.
13:25.210 --> 13:28.000
That's proof the world is in danger!
13:28.000 --> 13:29.340
That's nonsense!
13:29.340 --> 13:30.950
Who's speaking nonsense here?
13:30.950 --> 13:34.860
I'm speaking as someone who's
sworn loyalty to Naofumi-sama!
13:34.860 --> 13:39.980
It seems that some of those who swear
loyalty to him have their doubts...
13:45.070 --> 13:47.920
Didn't you find it strange?
13:47.920 --> 13:53.400
Why, if he's sworn loyalty to the Shield Hero,
Werner hasn't prepared a ship?
13:53.990 --> 13:56.950
If the hero does not stay in the country,
13:56.950 --> 14:01.190
those who doubt that he is the "Hero of
the Time to Come" will not be satisfied.
14:01.630 --> 14:03.160
Am I wrong?
14:03.780 --> 14:05.010
Well...
14:05.560 --> 14:10.300
You only care about yourselves...
14:10.300 --> 14:13.550
You don't care about Naofumi-sama at all!
14:14.840 --> 14:17.510
I believe she has us there, everyone.
14:19.570 --> 14:25.380
Young, but strong-willed. Weak, but fierce.
14:26.300 --> 14:32.160
If you were to ask me who is
the true citizen of Siltvelt,
14:32.160 --> 14:35.740
I would have to say it was her.
14:36.280 --> 14:37.700
Why are you here?
14:39.170 --> 14:41.270
You came!
14:41.270 --> 14:42.370
Who's this?
14:42.700 --> 14:44.640
The Elder of the Genmu.
14:44.640 --> 14:46.880
He's retired,
14:47.440 --> 14:51.500
but still has a lot of influence
with all the different factions.
14:54.640 --> 14:56.970
Shield Hero.
14:56.970 --> 15:00.370
It's such an honor to meet you.
15:00.370 --> 15:04.670
Call me "Elder," if you like.
15:04.970 --> 15:07.180
Elder... your appearance...
15:07.700 --> 15:09.940
You stand before the Shield Hero.
15:09.940 --> 15:12.100
My apologies.
15:12.100 --> 15:18.640
I always protect myself
by staying in this form.
15:22.320 --> 15:25.680
I heard what you all were saying.
15:26.400 --> 15:30.180
Everything she's said is right, isn't it?
15:30.180 --> 15:35.680
Don't you think it's foolish
to think only of yourselves,
15:35.680 --> 15:38.880
and not the Shield Hero?
15:38.880 --> 15:40.560
The Elder is right!
15:40.560 --> 15:43.910
So you would listen to the words
of one with tainted blood?
15:43.910 --> 15:47.180
No true citizen of Siltvelt
would do such a thing!
15:47.180 --> 15:48.740
I see...
15:49.790 --> 15:54.250
If you insist on becoming an
obstacle to Naofumi-sama,
15:55.290 --> 15:57.590
then I shall eliminate you by force!
15:57.860 --> 15:58.960
Atla!
15:59.610 --> 16:01.340
How insulting!
16:01.340 --> 16:04.720
I'll kill you myself, white tiger
demi-human with tainted blood!
16:04.720 --> 16:06.040
I accept your challenge!
16:06.890 --> 16:08.930
Both of you, silence!
16:12.500 --> 16:16.340
This is getting us nowhere.
16:16.340 --> 16:24.270
Then why don't we settle this with
a duel, as is Siltvelt tradition?
16:25.780 --> 16:26.980
A duel?
16:26.980 --> 16:30.060
Elder, a duel is going too far!
16:30.330 --> 16:35.770
As there are those among us who doubt whether
he is truly the "Hero of the Time to Come,"
16:35.770 --> 16:38.940
this has to happen at some point, I think.
16:41.030 --> 16:42.510
All right.
16:42.510 --> 16:48.150
Then I shall be the second of the white
tiger demi-human who serves the Shield Hero.
16:48.150 --> 16:53.290
Jaralis, you must accept the duel too,
to prove what you believe.
16:56.260 --> 16:59.970
For the sake of fairness,
17:00.470 --> 17:03.350
I shall be your second, Jaralis.
17:03.770 --> 17:06.100
I'm sure you'll have no objections.
17:06.100 --> 17:08.850
After all the lies you've spoken,
17:08.850 --> 17:14.190
I'm sure you're willing to take the
risk that will happen if you lose.
17:14.190 --> 17:15.660
Of course.
17:16.710 --> 17:18.980
Then I accept the duel.
17:20.340 --> 17:22.820
This has gotten out of hand.
17:22.820 --> 17:24.010
Yes.
17:24.510 --> 17:28.170
I tried to use the poison as my
trump card to get us to Q'ten Lo.
17:28.170 --> 17:30.090
So why are we having a duel?
17:30.800 --> 17:33.250
If we win...
17:33.690 --> 17:37.110
First, we shall strip the
white tiger demi-humans
17:37.110 --> 17:40.490
if their position as one
of the four great races.
17:40.490 --> 17:43.270
Instead, we Laio shall take their place.
17:44.260 --> 17:49.000
Next, the Shield Hero shall
belong to our country alone.
17:49.900 --> 17:54.110
And lastly, that rude girl there
will be severely punished.
17:54.110 --> 17:56.160
How does that sound?
17:56.160 --> 17:57.270
Ridiculous!
17:57.270 --> 17:58.850
That's too much in your favor!
17:58.850 --> 17:59.790
I don't mind.
18:00.240 --> 18:03.490
Naofumi-sama, I just have to win.
18:05.050 --> 18:06.250
Fine.
18:06.640 --> 18:10.250
Then if I win, you do whatever I want.
18:10.470 --> 18:14.960
Of course, Shield Hero...
18:16.920 --> 18:22.630
Then if the Shield Hero's party wins,
Siltvelt will obey his instructions.
18:22.630 --> 18:23.800
That will do, yes?
18:23.800 --> 18:25.270
It's fine.
18:26.520 --> 18:30.550
Then I shall permit a duel between the
white tiger demi-human and Jaralis!
18:30.550 --> 18:31.430
Wait.
18:32.090 --> 18:33.370
Brother...
18:33.370 --> 18:36.420
Let me be the one to fight in that duel.
18:36.420 --> 18:40.060
I'll fight in your place.
18:42.620 --> 18:44.520
I can't do that.
18:44.520 --> 18:47.010
Naofumi-sama's future is at stake.
18:47.010 --> 18:49.330
I don't think you can be trusted.
18:49.970 --> 18:53.080
Atla-chan, why not let him try?
18:53.080 --> 18:55.680
He's not usually this assertive.
18:55.680 --> 18:57.010
But...
18:57.410 --> 18:59.850
There's something I want to ask him.
19:00.430 --> 19:02.380
I feel like this battle will be important.
19:02.770 --> 19:04.160
For me...
19:05.940 --> 19:08.150
and for Dad!
19:09.500 --> 19:12.520
I'll fight you both, then.
19:14.070 --> 19:19.200
I shall show you disgusting white
tigers the power of noble blood!
19:20.400 --> 19:24.780
Jaralis, a duel must be fought by an equal
number of participants on each side.
19:24.780 --> 19:28.870
Of course, I'll bring another person.
19:29.180 --> 19:31.070
Is that all right, Hero?
19:34.010 --> 19:36.660
Naofumi-sama, don't worry.
19:36.660 --> 19:40.680
Even if my brother falls,
I'll defeat him on my own.
19:40.680 --> 19:42.720
Atla, I can do this!
19:42.720 --> 19:47.310
Going along with the enemy's plan and
still winning is a sign of true strength.
19:47.310 --> 19:49.050
I swear I'll win!
19:49.050 --> 19:51.010
Please, Naofumi-sama!
19:51.010 --> 19:52.030
Please!
19:56.050 --> 19:57.480
All right.
20:09.780 --> 20:11.230
Naofumi-sama!
20:12.180 --> 20:14.220
You're sure about this?
20:14.220 --> 20:18.180
It feels like this is important
to my brother, too.
20:18.630 --> 20:22.750
This duel is my chance to
prove my loyalty to you.
20:22.750 --> 20:26.520
I'll overcome whatever trials await me!
20:26.520 --> 20:27.510
And more than anything...
20:27.990 --> 20:32.970
I can't be your shield if I can't
overcome something like this!
20:33.990 --> 20:35.440
I'm counting on you.
20:36.230 --> 20:39.140
Yes, just leave it to me.
20:39.610 --> 20:41.140
Both parties, step forward!
20:45.660 --> 20:49.020
Who's that minotaur-looking dude?
20:50.140 --> 20:51.400
Oh my.
20:51.400 --> 20:57.790
Incredible... He's called one of the
heroes from the last great war to fight?
20:57.790 --> 20:58.930
Yes.
20:58.930 --> 21:06.010
This battle will decide the Shield Hero's fate.
I couldn't entrust it to just anyone.
21:06.010 --> 21:09.790
I'm doing this for Siltvelt.
21:10.210 --> 21:13.230
So that I can have my daughter
marry the Shield Hero?
21:14.630 --> 21:16.430
His daughter?
21:23.580 --> 21:27.190
How dare you try to use
Naofumi-sama as a studhorse!
21:27.190 --> 21:29.700
Atla! Fohl! You have to win this!
21:29.700 --> 21:31.160
Of course!
21:31.160 --> 21:31.710
Yeah.
21:32.170 --> 21:33.200
Jaralis.
21:33.200 --> 21:34.710
You fight me.
21:35.220 --> 21:39.430
If I win, you have to tell me everything
about what happened with my dad.
21:40.680 --> 21:42.920
Filthy white tiger...
21:46.030 --> 21:49.340
Now, are you all ready?
21:59.320 --> 22:00.620
Begin!
23:36.290 --> 23:40.030
