(Intro intro)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

We open back up in erhard's shop where we see y/n looking down at melty with a slight glare That reminds melty of a disappointed Look from her mother but different. Y/n speaks.

Y/n: I'm sorry but I can't trust anything you say.

Y/n's eyes glow a very faint gold before he finishes.

Y/n: Please leave.

Melty speaks with desperation in her voice.

Melty: Please Wait! You have to hear me out!

Y/n sits down on a Barrel And Looks at Melty with the faint gold glow his Eyes still there.

Y/n: I don't "have to" Hear you out because for all I know you could be as much of a Snake as your father and sister.

Before melty could say anything else a knight opens the door and looks at melty.

Knight: Melty-Sama His majesty Calls for you please come with me.

Melty looks at the knight them back at y/n with a Slightly sad expression she shakes for a second before speaking.

Melty: Very well.

Melty looks towards filo.

Melty: bye filo-Chan.

Y/n sighs at the sadness in her voice And just as melty is about to walk away y/n places his hand on her head shocking melty. As melty turns towards y/n she sees Y/n smile slightly as the Gold tint disappeared.

Y/n: Look just give me a Few days To cool off then Maybe I'll hear what you have to say.

Melty smiles slight before walking over to the knight and leaving. Raphtalia smiles at y/n knowing that if y/n met melty Before The Duel with Motoyasu He would have acted Cold towards her. Filo was about to follow Melty But y/n speaks.

Y/n: Filo.

Filo looks over at y/n as he shakes his head.

Y/n: I know you want to follow her but You can't alright.

Filo nods her head slightly Looking disappointed as Raphtalia Comes over and rubs her head While y/n Sighs. We switch over to melty who Is in a slightly better mood than she would have been Had Y/n Didn't Say what he did. As she's walking towards the castle with the guards She thinks back To her speaking with her mother.

(Mirellia: Melty I need you to do something for me.

Melty nods her head.

Melty: Yes

Mirellia: Return to the capital and admonish the king for his unjust treatment of the shield hero.

Mirellia looks down for a second before looking at melty again.

Mirellia: Ordinarily I would do it myself but..

They both look into a hallway and We are shown guards That look like They Came From Straight From Britain.

Melty looks back at her mother and smiles as she nods her head.

Melty: You can count on me mother.)

As her flash back ends she smiles As she thinks.

Melty:*I can do it Mother*

(Small scene shift brought to you by Geiz and Tsukuyomi Hiding in the shadows As Y/n Buys some food for filo.)

We are back At erhard's shop Where we see y/n Looking At his status screen and he's looking at all his ridewatches Well too in particular.

Y/n:*While The decade Ridewatch Has a lot of power and clearly has the function To use other ridewatches on top of it it's a bit too bulky so that still makes Grand zio and....Emperor zio as my Strongest forms and with the level we are at now I'm gonna need grand zio but...*

Suddenly his train Of thought was ended by Raphtalia speaking as she stands next to filo and erhard.

Raphtalia: it was nice of you To tell her that you would talk to her.

Y/n closes His Status before looking back at them.

Y/n: I didn't guarantee It really depends On what happens.

Erhard as A proud grin on his face.

Erhard: Still to give Her a Chance no matter how small is still a big thing to do.

Filo peaks from behind Raphtalia's unsure of something. Y/n Raises a brow at her.

Y/n: What's wrong filo?

Filo then steps toward y/n before speaking.

Filo: hey Papa?

Y/n: What?

Filo: Is it alright if I still play with Mel-Chan?

Y/n sighs Before standing up and Picking Filo up and looking at her in the eyes.

Y/n: Filo I really have nothing against Melty personally, it's her family I have a problem With so You can play with melty, but only if I'm there to make sure her family doesn't do anything Sketchy alright.

Filo smiles before nodding her head. Y/n then walks over inside the armor Fitting room and closes the curtain Before leaning against The wall while Holding his head As his eye flashes from its normal Green to Gold and finally to red as Visions Of His bad experiences from the royal family Flash through his head. as they finally stop y/n looks down to See the emperor zio Ridewatch In his hand he glares at it before Dispelling It and sighing.

Y/n:*I hope I can trust You melty.*

We see filo Now outside the shop eating A piece of fruit before a Group of young knights and young witch & mage walk infront of her as she stares at them.

(Small Scene shift brought to you by grand Zio and Emperor zio charging at each other before clashing fists as the screen cracks)

Y/n walked out of the armor fitting room And sits back down On a barrel As Raphtalia Looks over some New swords Just Then Opens the door.

Filo: papa.

Y/n looks over at filo.

Y/n: What is it filo?

Filo then smiles before opening the door fully showing The group.

Y/n gets up as they enter the shop and Raphtalia walks closer to y/n as The group walks into the shop. The young knight from before Speaks.

Young Knight: Pardon us.

Y/n: You again? What do you want?

The young Knight gulps Before speaking.

Young knight: Well...U-Uh...we want too....

Suddenly the entire Group Bowed Towards y/n surprising our heroes.

Young knight: Please Let us accompany You at least during the waves!

Our heroes stare at them in surprised as the young knight continues.

Young knight: we were deeply touched by the way you fought in the last wave so Everyone here wants to support your efforts.

Y/n then gains a look of realization And Rubs his head.

Y/n: Is that why you were looking for me?

The young Knight stands up straight and smiles.

Young knight: Yes we'd Decided We were gonna ask you next time You here in capital.

Y/n sighs.

Y/n: If you guys just wanted to fight in the waves. You can do that without fallowing Me.

???: Indeed

Everyone Turns And Are Surprised to see a man With a open book in hand Standing Near some weapons.

???: It would seems like you have a choice But which one will you choose I wonder.

Y/n Glares At the stranger while Everyone looks confused.

Y/n: Who are you?

The man Closes the book and looks at y/n with a grin.

???: Yes this is the first time We've Met I am Woz my lord.

Everyone widens There eyes. Raphtalia looks confused.

Raphtalia: My Lord?

Woz smiles as he nods toward Raphtalia.

Woz: yes my lord ohma Zio, the kindest Overlord and His Mistress Raphtalia and his Daughter Princess Filo.

Y/n and Raphtalia's eyes Widen For moment while filo grins at being called a princess like Mel-Chan. Y/n shakes his head and looks back toward the Group.

Y/n: You will explain yourself later Woz. now back to you guys again you don't need me to fight The waves.

The young knight shakes his head.

Young knight: No we want to fight with you sir Shield Hero!

Y/n grabs Something from his back and without looking at them he speaks.

Y/n: And what is your reasons.

Just then The mage boy steps forward to speak.

Mage: We're all From the Village of lute. Back then You saved our families.

Woz Walks over To Raphtalia and filo and opens his book to show A Recounting of the battle. In it we see Y/n In Zio Shield armor Fighting against Monsters and then the fight with another Ex aid. Filo stares in awe at the fights while Raphtalia smiles at the memory of all the villagers thanking them after words. Woz closes the book as y/n turns and looks toward the group.

Young knight: So we want to help you anyway we can. We want to repay you for saving our fellow villagers lives.

Raphtalia smiles at what they say she turns to y/n as her tail wiggles slightly. Meanwhile Woz looks on interested at what y/n will say. Y/n reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small necklace.

Y/n: Buy this for 150 silver pieces.

Everyone (except Woz) looks surprised at y/n.

Y/n: I'll consider your offer if you can buy it.

The group gain unsure looks. Y/n has a strangely serious look on his face.

Y/n: Whats wrong? you gain my trust by Buying this.

Raphtalia looks at y/n with a disappointed look.

Raphtalia: y/n-Sama.....

Young knight: one hundred and fifty silver pieces huh?

One of the other knights speak.

Knight: What now?

Young knight turns toward his friends with a smile.

Young knight: We'll have to arrange it somehow.

The young knight turns toward Y/n with a serious look.

Young knight: We understand. We'll get the money somehow.

(Small time Skip brought to you by Woz Reading A story to Filo while y/n and Raphtalia Are asleep)

We are still in erhard's shop where we see Y/n sitting on the barrel again while Woz talking to filo. Raphtalia walks up to y/n and speaks.

Raphtalia: I still can't believe Your making them buy a left over Accessory for that much.

Erhard: Did the greed bug Get you or something?

Filo: Meanie!

Y/n just sighs as he flips His zio ridewatch in his hand.

(Small Scene shift again this time brought to you by A Strange Man With a magenta camera Taking pictures of Girl wearing Water tribe clothes as she's about to fight Three men near a Shop)

We see Raphtalia Now wearing a little more armor Looking in the mirror with a smile on her face. she looks over to filo and Woz and they both raise a thumbs up making Raphtalia smile even brighter. We see y/n back in his old clothes (Aka his Earth clothes which Include The build Hoodie) He slides his Coat and armor pieces to Erhard.

Y/n: I need these fixed too.

Erhard: The made to order stuff huh?

Erhard rubs his chin Before bringing out a bag of Coins.

Erhard: Even if I threw in the free materials It still would cost you.

Erhard then reaches into the bag then pulls out 5 gold coins.

Erhard: this much.

Y/n: hey boss?

Erhard: what?

Y/n turns opens up his Status and looks at it.

Y/n: I see a asterisk next to there levels now. Do you know what that means?

Erhard: Oh your ready for class upgrades?

Y/n could swear he hear his ex aid ridewatch say "level Up!" When he heard Him say that. Y/n raises a brow.

Y/n: Class upgrades?

Erhard then explains.

Erhard: it lets you increase your level Cap. Only those recognized by the court even have the option. But I guess your a hero after all.

Y/n's mood sours slightly. Erhard Continues.

Erhard: you choose what path to take when you upgrade your class. I had a lot of trouble deciding.

(Scene Shift Brought to you By Woz Y/n Raphtalia and Filo Playing Rock Paper Scissors)

We are now outside Where We see filo dragging Woz towards a merchant to buy her food. Y/n Stares at Woz for a second Before sighing. He opens Up his status screen and Uses the help tab To see class upgrades.

Y/n: You can do it at the dragon hour glass?

Y/n then Looks over his shoulder at Raphtalia.

Y/n: What Class Upgrade do you Want Raphtalia?

Raphtalia: I'm fine with whatever You decide.

Y/n then turns Around and Smiles at Raphtalia.

Y/n: Raphtalia I want you to choose your path alright?

Y/n then Looks Forward With a slightly saddened look.

Y/n: after the waves are over I might go back to my world so I want you and filo to be Able to take care of yourselves if I'm gone.

Raphtalia watches as y/n Walks Over to filo and Woz with a Saddened but hopeful Look on her face.

Raphtalia:*Might go back to his world? I hope You choose to stay with us y/n-Sama*

Y/n Makes it over to filo and Woz and Watches as Filo pouts At Woz Who looks down like he failed. Y/n can faintly Hear from woz "I have failed princess filo" y/n pats Woz on the shoulder before looking toward the merchant.

Y/n: I'll take a Skewer please.

The merchant nods his head as filo smiles at y/n.

Filo: Thank you papa!

Raphtalia Watches As Filo is handed the skewer While Woz Mutters Apologies to y/n over "Failing" filo. she then Smiles Before walking over to them.

(Scene shift brought To you by a Boy with White Hair Drinking tea With a Girl in a Kimono)

We open Back At the church Where We suddenly year our hero yell.

Y/n: THE HELL FIFTEEN GOLD PIECES!?

We're now inside the church Where We see our heroes talking to three nuns who stand in-front of the dragon hour glass.

Nun: A class upgrade costs Fifteen Gold pieces Per person.

Y/n Looks Over at the people In his Party and Then counts himself Before Looking at the nuns In shock.

Y/n: that's Sixty Gold pieces!

Raphtalia: Thats way to much.

Y/n sighs before Looking down.

Y/n: *I could get Thousands Of ten rolls For that much*

The nun chuckles under her breath. Y/n then Stands back up straight Before looking at Raphtalia.

Y/n: Alright Raphtalia you go first.

Raphtalia: Huh?

Filo looks At y/n with a angry (cute) Glare.

Filo: What about me?!

Y/n Pats filo on the head before speaking.

Y/n: Don't worry next time we Come Here you can Go next ok?

Filo then nods her head. Y/n then walks Up the steps and hands A bag with fifteen gold pieces to the nun surprising her.

Y/n: there's the fifteen Gold pieces You need now if you plea-

???: Our apologies We seem to have made a mistake.

Y/n and His Party Turn Around. Y/n gains a glare when he sees it's the nun who Tried To Swindle Him Before when he tried to get the holy water for Raphtalia.

Bitch nun: We are forbidden from providing upgrades Upgrades to the shield heroes Party.

Raphtalia: but they just said....

Bitch nun then brings Out a Royal Scroll.

Bitch nun: It's a Direct order from his majesty.

Y/n's Eyes twitches As he snatches His Gold back from the nun. Y/n looks Up and sees More nuns Standing there looking down at them he recognizes A few of them from when he first came to this world. Y/n then walks over to His party.

Y/n: lets go guys.

All four of them then walk out of the church. Unknown To Them A fait streak of Gold And Red Lightning Burst From Y/n, Slowly Going into the church before Suddenly striking and causing a stained glass window with a Sword Bow And Spear on it Shattering.

(Scene shift brought to you by Y/n And Naofumi hugging as there versions of filo and Raphtalia stare at each other confused.)

We see our heroes back at the slave traders Tent Where but as there about To walk in Filo pulls on y/n's Sleeve. Y/n looks at her confused.

Filo: Are you gonna sell me?

Y/n Places a hand on her head And smiles Down at her.

Y/n: Not in a million years.

Filo hugs y/n While Raphtalia smiles. Woz nods at y/n's actions. Our heroes Then walk into the Slave traders Tent to see most of the cages are empty. They walk Forward until they Reach the Slave trader who's clothes seem More Regal than normal. The slaver trader turns around and Smiles.

Trader: if it isn't sir hero!

The trader then walks to them While speaking.

Trader: What brings You here Today?

Y/n just Looks around at all the cages before looking Back at the slave trader.

Y/n: Seems Like you've Been busy.

The slaver Smirked And clasped His hands Together.

Trader: Yes and it's all thanks to you, Your traveling Trade was very profitable for me as well.

Y/n Tilts A Brow In confusion.

Y/n: How So?

The Trader explains While Filo Peaks Out from Behind y/n.

Trader: Well first and foremost, your filolial Queen has gained quite the reputation.

Filo Hides behind Y/n's leg What The Slavertrader looks at her, Y/n gently Rubs Her head As the trader speaks.

Trader: Nobles across all of Melromarc contacted me to ask how could they procure One For themselves.

Suddenly the slaver Looks Towards Raphtalia startling Her.

Trader: Secondly, You.

Raphtalia: Eh?

The trader goes on to explain.

Trader: You've Helped my business gain a reputation For high quality Slaves.

The slave trader then spreads his arms open.

Trader: The money hasn't Stopped Rolling in Since!

Raphtalia glares at him as He chuckles before turning To Y/n.

Trader: anyway, How may I help you today? Would you like another slave? Or.

The trader Glances At Woz Who Smirks At The short man.

Trader: Do you need a Crest for this one?

Y/n Shakes His head as he crosses his arms
