WEBVTT
00:02.030 --> 00:04.960
This room is more than big enough
for all of us to sleep in.
00:05.370 --> 00:09.910
No, this room is for you alone,
Naofumi-sama.
00:09.910 --> 00:13.350
I want to stay with Master!
00:13.350 --> 00:16.340
We've prepared another
room for your servants.
00:17.210 --> 00:20.230
As for your plans for the rest of the day,
00:20.230 --> 00:23.980
once you've relaxed in your room,
00:23.980 --> 00:29.950
we'll have you change into Siltvelt
formal wear for tonight's banquet.
00:31.220 --> 00:33.980
But first, we'll have you take a bath.
00:33.980 --> 00:37.950
I'll let you know when it's ready.
00:35.550 --> 00:38.330
It feels like they want to
pretend we don't exist.
00:38.330 --> 00:43.790
Yup. There's some time until the banquet,
so let's go tour the town.
00:43.790 --> 00:46.960
No, I'll stay in the next room.
00:46.960 --> 00:50.120
I want to be able to protect
Naofumi-sama if something happens.
00:50.120 --> 00:54.540
What? I want to go see the town with you!
00:55.560 --> 00:58.330
Yeah, all of you, go see the town.
00:58.330 --> 00:59.880
Okay!
00:59.880 --> 01:02.470
I wonder if they've got good booze.
01:02.470 --> 01:05.360
I can't wait! Let's go!
01:05.360 --> 01:06.180
But...
01:06.180 --> 01:07.190
But!
01:10.140 --> 01:12.350
Leave Raph-chan!
01:22.120 --> 01:26.080
The Rising of the Shield Hero
02:45.530 --> 02:50.580
Episode 2: Official Welcome
02:48.000 --> 02:50.840
From the way they've been acting,
02:50.840 --> 02:55.040
this country may be more of a pain
than I thought, huh, Raph-chan?
02:59.450 --> 03:01.340
What is it, Raph-chan?
03:01.950 --> 03:04.430
A shield, here?
03:05.890 --> 03:07.410
What skills does it have...
03:06.010 --> 03:10.770
Beast King's Shield
03:07.410 --> 03:10.360
Beast Transformation Boost and Territory Reform?
03:26.780 --> 03:29.740
Wow, that looks good!
03:30.510 --> 03:32.510
This town is wonderful, isn't it?
03:34.680 --> 03:36.510
Welcome!
03:39.380 --> 03:44.080
And it seems they have proper
respect for Naofumi-sama, too.
03:44.650 --> 03:46.340
Naofumi-sama...
03:50.600 --> 03:52.670
This looks good, too!
03:52.670 --> 03:55.570
Oh, they do have booze!
03:55.570 --> 04:00.790
Maybe Naofumi-sama's territory
will look like this someday.
04:00.790 --> 04:03.270
Call me when you're ready to order.
04:03.270 --> 04:04.020
Okay!
04:04.750 --> 04:07.640
Huh? They brought the
wrong number of waters.
04:12.780 --> 04:15.890
That's why you were reluctant
to leave the castle.
04:15.890 --> 04:18.790
He's been like this the whole time
we've been walking around the town.
04:18.790 --> 04:20.830
Brother, you let it get to you too much.
04:21.100 --> 04:26.470
It's wonderful to have so many
types of people living together.
04:26.470 --> 04:29.300
But there's always more to the story
than it seems at first glance.
04:29.590 --> 04:34.570
And we need to take a good look at everything,
since Naofumi-chan can't.
04:43.790 --> 04:46.220
Feels good, huh, Raph-chan?
04:58.540 --> 05:00.000
Aphrodisiac detected
05:00.010 --> 05:01.280
Aphrodisiac?
05:03.270 --> 05:04.660
What the hell?
05:04.660 --> 05:06.340
What's going on?
05:11.500 --> 05:13.170
Hero...
05:13.170 --> 05:20.140
Hero... Shield Hero! Shield Hero!
05:20.140 --> 05:21.470
Wait, wait, wait!
05:23.440 --> 05:24.870
Stay away!
05:24.870 --> 05:26.190
Meteor Shield!
05:30.500 --> 05:33.390
Open up, Shield Hero!
05:32.080 --> 05:34.190
I'll wash your back!
05:35.340 --> 05:36.700
Portal Shield!
05:36.710 --> 05:37.410
Interference summoning Portal Shield
05:37.620 --> 05:38.920
Portal Shield unavailable
05:37.740 --> 05:38.930
Unavailable?
05:43.000 --> 05:44.110
Raphtalia-chan?
05:44.110 --> 05:44.780
Is something wrong?
05:44.780 --> 05:45.460
Naofumi-sama?
05:47.880 --> 05:50.110
Now, let's get going, too.
05:50.110 --> 05:52.340
I'm so full...
05:51.250 --> 05:53.630
We're not done eating!
05:54.720 --> 05:56.050
Hero!
05:56.050 --> 05:58.070
I want to have your baby!
05:57.150 --> 06:00.060
This is what the queen was talking about?
06:00.900 --> 06:05.660
First, you'll be approached by
princesses and young noblewomen.
06:05.660 --> 06:12.190
They'll try to form a harem for you
with girls from any number of species.
06:12.570 --> 06:14.040
A harem?
06:15.250 --> 06:16.510
Oh, right!
06:16.960 --> 06:20.550
Dragon Vein, hear our plea!
06:20.550 --> 06:23.040
As source of thy power, we order thee!
06:23.880 --> 06:28.880
Decipher the laws of nature, and create
an illusion to deceive our foes!
06:28.880 --> 06:30.840
Emptiness is Form!
06:36.560 --> 06:38.640
Shield Hero!
06:38.640 --> 06:41.930
You're such a brute!
06:44.610 --> 06:46.690
What kind of illusion are they seeing?
06:47.590 --> 06:50.940
And wait, isn't it "Form is Emptiness"?
06:50.940 --> 06:53.620
Naofumi-sama... are you okay?
06:54.960 --> 06:57.890
I-I heard the SOS signal...
06:57.890 --> 06:59.450
What's going on here?
06:59.450 --> 07:02.210
It's just what it looks like. An emergency.
07:02.210 --> 07:05.290
Oh my, I see you're enjoying yourself.
07:05.290 --> 07:07.730
They got to you ahead of me.
07:07.730 --> 07:09.920
They're just seeing an illusion.
07:10.380 --> 07:12.120
Let's just run.
07:16.200 --> 07:18.090
What the hell was that about?
07:18.430 --> 07:20.590
My deepest apologies.
07:20.590 --> 07:24.000
It's a service we've provided for
the Shield Hero for generations.
07:24.550 --> 07:26.430
I thought you would enjoy it.
07:26.710 --> 07:28.530
Are you insulting me?
07:28.530 --> 07:30.110
Not at all.
07:30.530 --> 07:32.210
I'm so terribly sorry.
07:32.210 --> 07:34.510
I've had enough empty apologies.
07:34.510 --> 07:38.750
If you really want to apologize,
then get me that damn boat.
07:38.750 --> 07:40.570
O-Of course.
07:40.800 --> 07:44.050
We'll hold a conference within
days to vote on the matter.
07:44.050 --> 07:49.170
If it's going to take that long, I can
just head back home with my portal skill.
07:49.170 --> 07:51.010
You mustn't!
07:51.010 --> 07:55.250
Give me some time!
I promise I'll prepare it for you!
07:55.250 --> 07:56.390
All right.
07:56.710 --> 07:59.630
But don't forget that if you're going
to continue treating us this way,
07:59.630 --> 08:02.590
we're going to take action on our own.
08:07.220 --> 08:11.870
Can I really get to Q'ten
Lo by leaving it to him?
08:36.750 --> 08:40.390
Oh my! You look spectacular!
08:40.390 --> 08:43.500
I'm sure it must be a wonderful outfit!
08:43.500 --> 08:46.040
Tell me everything about it, Brother!
08:47.320 --> 08:51.900
Everyone, the worship ceremony has finished,
08:51.900 --> 08:56.060
and now it's time for a pleasant
evening of dinner and conversation!
09:04.880 --> 09:07.750
Want me to get you something light to eat?
09:07.750 --> 09:09.280
Yeah, thanks.
09:11.310 --> 09:13.380
I'm going to eat, too!
09:18.040 --> 09:21.280
Just stand tall, Brother.
09:21.280 --> 09:23.440
Atla-chan's right.
09:25.120 --> 09:28.650
This is a rare opportunity, so we
need to have our heads on straight!
09:29.180 --> 09:30.730
Opportunity for what?
09:30.730 --> 09:32.440
Remember what I said in town?
09:32.440 --> 09:33.810
There's always more to the story.
09:34.240 --> 09:38.100
This is supposed to be an evening
to hail the Shield Hero,
09:38.100 --> 09:41.400
but there must be people
here for other reasons.
09:41.400 --> 09:46.630
Just start looking for them, and this
party will be over before you know it.
09:47.360 --> 09:49.630
Can I get another drink?
09:49.630 --> 09:51.830
Wow, you've got big jugs, too?
09:50.480 --> 09:53.370
People here for other reasons...
09:57.470 --> 09:59.110
Hero!
09:59.110 --> 10:02.500
Are you enjoying the party?
10:03.000 --> 10:06.410
Your name's Jaralis, right?
10:06.410 --> 10:10.530
I'm so honored you remember.
10:10.930 --> 10:13.210
I'd like to talk to you about
what we discussed earlier.
10:16.980 --> 10:19.020
Fohl-sama. Atla-sama.
10:22.900 --> 10:24.660
I need to speak to you.
10:26.190 --> 10:27.480
You're...
10:38.950 --> 10:43.290
It's been many years, Fohl-sama, Atla-sama.
10:43.290 --> 10:45.400
You've grown up so much...
10:45.400 --> 10:46.830
Ethan...
10:46.830 --> 10:49.050
Brother, who is this?
10:49.050 --> 10:51.510
Ethan worked for Father.
10:51.510 --> 10:52.720
For Father?
10:52.720 --> 10:53.870
Yup.
10:53.870 --> 10:56.130
You may not remember,
10:56.130 --> 10:59.950
but he would come to our house
and play with us a lot.
11:00.330 --> 11:05.900
Your parents passed away,
and then the two of you disappeared.
11:05.900 --> 11:08.620
I've been so worried about the both of you.
11:09.180 --> 11:12.510
The white tiger demi-humans have
little place in this country.
11:12.510 --> 11:16.620
Please forgive me for only being
able to meet you like this.
11:16.620 --> 11:19.850
But there was something I had to tell you...
11:22.810 --> 11:25.960
Beware of Jaralis the Laio.
11:25.960 --> 11:30.360
He may be involved in your father's death.
11:31.510 --> 11:33.050
Jaralis?
11:33.050 --> 11:37.110
It's said that he was present
for your father's last moments,
11:37.110 --> 11:41.550
but there was a rumor in the military at
the time that this might not be true.
11:41.550 --> 11:42.360
It was?
11:42.620 --> 11:43.300
Yes.
11:43.840 --> 11:49.020
His report of Tyran-sama's last
moments didn't quite make sense.
11:49.470 --> 11:53.220
I told the military brass many times they
needed to investigate it again, but...
11:54.140 --> 11:58.480
I've always regretted not fighting
with Tyran-sama until the end,
11:58.480 --> 12:02.250
regretted not being able to protect him.
12:03.410 --> 12:09.390
So the least I can do is
help you, I believe.
12:10.100 --> 12:13.430
I'll do anything I can for you!
12:14.030 --> 12:18.530
So, are things proceeding
well with Lord Werner?
12:19.640 --> 12:21.360
As I thought.
12:21.360 --> 12:26.360
He's not concerned with
what you want, it seems.
12:26.700 --> 12:31.650
He wants to keep you here at all costs.
12:31.650 --> 12:35.260
Public opinion is very
important to him, after all.
12:35.260 --> 12:36.670
Public opinion?
12:36.670 --> 12:40.840
Because their faith in the
Shield Hero is so strong,
12:41.720 --> 12:45.350
the people ask themselves why
he would protect other nations,
12:45.350 --> 12:49.150
as opposed to the place he should
be protecting, Siltvelt.
12:49.150 --> 12:53.080
More and more people are saying this.
12:54.090 --> 12:58.270
And Lord Werner is exceptionally
concerned lately that people
12:58.270 --> 13:01.120
who feel that way might do something rash.
13:01.690 --> 13:05.420
So no matter what you say to him...
13:06.960 --> 13:10.450
Thus, I would ask you to
put me to use, instead.
13:10.790 --> 13:14.360
I can quickly arrange a ship.
13:15.290 --> 13:20.670
Unfortunately, I'm not able to do so
officially given my current position.
13:20.670 --> 13:26.440
But I'm willing to do the dirty work
needed for the sake of the Shield Hero.
13:26.440 --> 13:29.010
You are our god, and this is your wish.
13:29.810 --> 13:36.070
Letting me help you is the only
way for you to get to Q'ten Lo.
13:42.730 --> 13:45.970
Wow, that looks good.
13:45.970 --> 13:47.060
Yeah.
13:47.060 --> 13:49.780
Good morning, Shield Hero.
13:50.110 --> 13:56.390
I'd like you to attend a conference after
this, then we'll have lunch, then...
13:56.390 --> 13:58.880
Got it, got it. Conference, right.
13:59.230 --> 14:03.180
I'll show you the location later.
14:06.500 --> 14:10.690
Werner keeps giving me meaningless service
14:10.690 --> 14:13.380
and useless meetings to
keep us in the country.
14:13.870 --> 14:16.790
Jaralis is right about that, at least.
14:17.330 --> 14:21.840
But the way Jaralis sucks up
to me, I don't like at all.
14:22.620 --> 14:26.930
From what Fohl and Atla said,
he seems dangerous.
14:29.860 --> 14:32.880
Neither of them can be trusted.
14:32.880 --> 14:34.190
Which means...
14:34.910 --> 14:37.250
Offer your prayers to the Shield Hero!
14:37.490 --> 14:40.530
The will of the Shield God decides all!
14:40.920 --> 14:45.250
It is thanks to Him that we
receive our food and our lives!
14:45.250 --> 14:49.340
Let this food and our lives become
the power to enact his will!
14:50.580 --> 14:52.520
Let it become power!
14:52.840 --> 14:55.710
What a wonderful prayer.
14:55.710 --> 14:59.760
You eat first, Shield Hero.
15:04.670 --> 15:05.940
Either way...
15:06.340 --> 15:11.360
I want to get out of this creepy
country as soon as I can.
15:16.500 --> 15:19.780
Now let's bring this
special meeting to order.
15:20.410 --> 15:25.050
As we work to expand and strengthen our
military in preparation for the next Wave,
15:25.050 --> 15:29.710
we need to reorganize our forces with
the Shield Hero at the center.
15:28.860 --> 15:30.130
Hold it.
15:30.480 --> 15:35.700
The next Wave? I told you, I'm not staying.
15:35.700 --> 15:37.480
We know.
15:37.480 --> 15:40.260
That's why we're discussing the budget needed
15:40.260 --> 15:44.420
to have our finest shipyard build you
a ship worthy of the Shield Hero.
15:43.920 --> 15:46.360
You know that's not what I want!
15:48.050 --> 15:51.960
I understand that you want to use me
15:51.960 --> 15:55.850
to expand your military
and unite your people.
15:57.260 --> 16:02.750
But just like you want to protect your country,
I want to protect my lands!
16:02.750 --> 16:06.050
Right now, the people of my village
are waiting for me to return!
16:06.540 --> 16:07.910
But...
16:08.370 --> 16:11.890
Once the Phoenix and Q'ten Lo are dealt with,
16:11.890 --> 16:15.340
I don't mind acting a little more like
the Shield Hero is supposed to.
16:18.810 --> 16:20.930
Splendid, Hero.
16:20.930 --> 16:25.140
A true ruler should always put
his lands and people first.
16:25.140 --> 16:31.110
I could learn a thing or two from you.
16:31.430 --> 16:38.460
I also want you to rule Siltvelt
and unite its people!
16:38.460 --> 16:45.650
But it is not right for the people of
Siltvelt to disobey the wishes of the Shield Hero.
16:45.650 --> 16:49.380
Should we not prepare a ship immediately?
16:49.380 --> 16:54.390
Only the representatives of the four great
races are allowed to speak at this conference!
16:54.390 --> 16:56.970
Know your place, Jaralis!
16:58.820 --> 17:01.310
My apologies, Hero.
17:01.630 --> 17:05.040
Your thoughts are very valuable to us.
17:05.040 --> 17:09.870
Please give us time to put together our
thoughts in light of your opinion.
17:09.870 --> 17:11.760
Another delay...
17:12.110 --> 17:14.480
Just how hard-headed can you be?
17:23.160 --> 17:24.270
Naofumi-sama!
17:24.270 --> 17:24.970
Oh!
17:24.970 --> 17:27.370
Let's do this quick while nobody's around.
17:29.220 --> 17:30.730
Shield Hero!
17:30.730 --> 17:32.140
This is Ethan, who I was telling you about.
17:32.710 --> 17:37.400
It's such an honor to meet you in person.
17:37.400 --> 17:40.600
I can't thank you enough for
saving Fohl-sama and Atla-sama.
17:40.950 --> 17:46.740
I shall repay this debt
if it costs me my life...
17:46.740 --> 17:47.850
That's enough.
17:47.850 --> 17:50.070
I did it for my own reasons.
17:50.680 --> 17:53.810
More importantly, Fohl told you, right?
17:53.810 --> 17:56.390
Yes. You want me to watch
the two of them, yes?
17:56.660 --> 18:01.010
Yes. Both Werner and Jaralis
are at a stalemate,
18:01.010 --> 18:04.620
and they might do something
rash to break it.
18:05.220 --> 18:07.740
Share any information you
get with these guys.
18:07.740 --> 18:08.660
Hi!
18:08.660 --> 18:09.960
Nice to meet you!
18:09.960 --> 18:13.190
I want to have all this
settled in a few days.
18:16.980 --> 18:19.800
On the surface, I played along with them...
18:20.390 --> 18:22.770
...while I prepared in secret.
18:24.070 --> 18:26.810
So that I'd be ready when the chance came...
18:29.000 --> 18:33.000
And thus my days in Siltvelt passed.
18:42.030 --> 18:43.830
Poison detected
18:45.810 --> 18:47.810
I don't want to eat this!
18:47.810 --> 18:52.080
Yeah? I'll drink anything if
they give me beer with it!
18:52.080 --> 18:52.790
But it's...
18:52.340 --> 18:55.590
The will of the Shield God decides all!
18:55.590 --> 18:59.380
It is thanks to Him that we
receive our food, our lives!
18:59.770 --> 19:03.930
Let this food and our lives become
the power to enact his will!
19:03.930 --> 19:05.630
Let it become power!
19:06.000 --> 19:08.850
Now, please eat, Shield Hero.
19:30.640 --> 19:33.200
Hero, what is this?
19:33.200 --> 19:34.960
Just shut up and drink it!
19:34.960 --> 19:37.920
It tastes like shit, but it's
better than dying of poison!
19:37.920 --> 19:38.670
Poison!
19:40.800 --> 19:42.710
He's playing dumb...
19:42.710 --> 19:45.800
To poison a god is a crime worthy of death!
19:45.800 --> 19:47.300
It is the highest treason!
19:48.630 --> 19:51.590
What's wrong? Do you have
something to say to me?
19:52.610 --> 19:58.640
Looks like we all need to talk.
You love to talk, right?
20:03.160 --> 20:06.370
I can't believe someone tried to poison me.
20:06.370 --> 20:09.170
I thought this country was safe.
20:09.170 --> 20:12.290
I'm sure you did it, Jaralis!
20:12.290 --> 20:15.980
None but you would betray our god!
20:15.980 --> 20:19.550
You can't say that without any proof.
20:19.550 --> 20:26.020
Isn't it possible that you did it,
knowing the Hero would soon leave our lands?
20:26.020 --> 20:27.000
What?
20:27.990 --> 20:31.220
Well, I don't care who did it.
20:31.550 --> 20:34.410
Someone tried to poison us.
20:34.410 --> 20:36.500
That's all that matters.
20:36.500 --> 20:39.690
I can't cooperate with a
country like that anymore.
20:40.130 --> 20:42.150
I've got a lead on a boat.
20:42.730 --> 20:45.450
I'm sick of dealing with you people.
20:45.450 --> 20:47.630
Wait, Shield Hero! Please...
20:47.630 --> 20:50.190
Well, this isn't good for you.
20:50.190 --> 20:56.430
You've upset our god and lost a
chance to cooperate with him.
20:56.430 --> 20:59.770
That's quite the failure, Lord Werner.
20:59.770 --> 21:01.540
Know your place, Jaralis!
21:01.540 --> 21:04.000
You're always up to something underhanded!
21:04.000 --> 21:10.440
If you say I'm responsible for this,
then I hope you have some sort of evidence.
21:10.440 --> 21:13.680
Your actions thus far are
all the proof I need!
21:13.680 --> 21:16.610
You'll do anything to gain power!
21:16.610 --> 21:19.060
I'm not the only one who's seen that!
21:19.060 --> 21:20.570
That's right!
21:19.650 --> 21:20.750
He's right!
21:20.750 --> 21:21.660
You coward!
21:20.950 --> 21:22.010
You should be ashamed!
21:22.010 --> 21:27.330
You're blaming others because
your own position is in danger.
21:27.330 --> 21:31.000
Is that really how a ruler should be?
21:31.380 --> 21:35.560
This is what happens when you let bloodlines
be the only thing that matters.
21:35.560 --> 21:40.080
There are many talented people
outside the four great races.
21:41.580 --> 21:44.040
Don't tell me you're referring to yourself.
21:44.040 --> 21:45.510
What?
21:45.510 --> 21:47.250
Shut up, Laio!
21:46.710 --> 21:48.890
Jaralis-sama is right!
21:47.400 --> 21:48.890
Werner-sama is right!
21:50.010 --> 21:52.090
Shut up, you old geezer!
21:52.790 --> 21:55.140
All of you shut up!
22:01.630 --> 22:04.400
I've had enough of this!
23:36.290 --> 23:40.030
