WEBVTT 00:00:02.882 --> 00:00:06.511 I was born to a family of impoverished nobles. 00:00:12.434 --> 00:00:15.729 We were poor, but the villagers were always kind to us. 00:00:15.729 --> 00:00:17.522 Onee-chan! We were poor, but the villagers were always kind to us. 00:00:19.691 --> 00:00:24.821 My parents and I lived happily. 00:00:27.615 --> 00:00:29.159 But one day... 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:34.664 Who are you people? 00:00:37.542 --> 00:00:39.502 Come with us! 00:00:39.753 --> 00:00:41.713 Stop it! What are you doing? 00:00:41.713 --> 00:00:47.635 I found out later that a wicked noble in the next town over had it out for us. 00:00:48.053 --> 00:00:50.138 Dad! Mom! 00:00:52.766 --> 00:00:57.353 My family couldn't pay back the debts that were illegally levied on us, 00:00:57.353 --> 00:01:00.690 and so the noble took me instead. 00:01:02.233 --> 00:01:04.861 I thought it was all over, when... 00:01:13.953 --> 00:01:16.164 You're safe now. 00:01:21.086 --> 00:01:23.630 Itsuki-san revealed his evil deeds to the world. 00:01:24.130 --> 00:01:29.094 The Bow Hero came to save me. 00:01:33.473 --> 00:01:39.395 Itsuki-sama saved my life and the lives of my parents. 00:01:39.395 --> 00:01:41.064 I see. 00:01:41.731 --> 00:01:48.238 So I want to repay him... I want to help him. 00:01:50.115 --> 00:01:53.284 I may not have the right to say this, but... 00:01:56.412 --> 00:01:59.040 I'm sure he's safe. 00:02:00.542 --> 00:02:02.502 Thank you! 00:02:06.756 --> 00:02:09.884 It seems the decision's been made then, Saint. 00:02:10.176 --> 00:02:11.219 Yes. 00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:13.263 We leave at dawn. 00:02:15.223 --> 00:02:16.808 For the back of the Spirit Tortoise. 00:02:18.852 --> 00:02:22.230 I'm sure... I'm sure Itsuki-sama is there, too. 00:02:36.995 --> 00:02:42.667 The Rising of the Shield Hero 00:03:50.568 --> 00:03:52.403 Episode 4 Ruins in the Fog 00:03:55.615 --> 00:03:56.658 We cut off the Spirit Tortoise's head, but its familiar, Ost, is still alive. 00:03:57.242 --> 00:04:03.581 Which means the Tortoise itself could revive and go on a rampage at any moment. 00:04:03.581 --> 00:04:08.127 But the allied forces need time to resupply and reorganize. 00:04:09.170 --> 00:04:15.176 It's risky, but our party is going to climb onto its back and look for its weak point. 00:04:15.176 --> 00:04:17.095 It's the only way. 00:04:17.095 --> 00:04:21.641 We need to finish the Spirit Tortoise before it comes back to life. 00:04:21.641 --> 00:04:26.187 And if Ost is going to remember something by getting close to it, 00:04:26.187 --> 00:04:28.106 its back is the most likely spot. 00:04:28.815 --> 00:04:30.316 Yes. 00:04:30.316 --> 00:04:34.487 Oh, Filo-chan! How was the meeting? 00:04:35.697 --> 00:04:38.825 Everybody was just frowning all the time. It was dull. 00:04:38.825 --> 00:04:40.660 There was no food either. 00:04:40.868 --> 00:04:45.373 Hey, Filo! I let you take my place because you wanted to go. 00:04:48.293 --> 00:04:53.381 With all those grumpy old men around, having Filo-dono there made me feel much better. 00:04:53.381 --> 00:04:57.051 Yeah. Raphtalia would just complain about everything. 00:04:57.051 --> 00:04:58.428 Naofumi-sama! 00:04:58.886 --> 00:05:04.600 Oh, they all had nice things to say about the turtle lady! 00:05:05.935 --> 00:05:11.107 Um... They said she saved the lives of a lot of soldiers. 00:05:11.107 --> 00:05:14.402 No... I don't deserve your praise. 00:05:14.986 --> 00:05:18.197 Because my real job is... 00:05:21.701 --> 00:05:23.328 There it is. 00:05:30.460 --> 00:05:33.921 Those sappers know how to do their jobs. 00:05:33.921 --> 00:05:35.715 Can you get us across this, Filo? 00:05:36.049 --> 00:05:37.925 Yeah, I'll be fine! 00:05:38.134 --> 00:05:39.719 Take care! 00:05:39.719 --> 00:05:41.971 Best of luck, Shield Hero! 00:05:44.474 --> 00:05:46.684 And you too, Ost-sama. 00:05:50.021 --> 00:05:51.105 Thanks! 00:05:52.899 --> 00:05:54.692 Here we go! 00:06:05.286 --> 00:06:08.373 So this is the tortoise's back, huh? 00:06:12.085 --> 00:06:15.213 This is gonna be a tough climb. 00:06:20.301 --> 00:06:24.722 Do they know who I am? 00:06:24.722 --> 00:06:26.891 Those soldiers earlier? 00:06:26.891 --> 00:06:30.645 Yeah.

Being away from your parents, I mean. 00:08:46.447 --> 00:08:48.491 It was my choice. 00:08:48.491 --> 00:08:52.870 And they both supported me when I left. 00:08:53.788 --> 00:08:54.705 But... 00:08:55.665 --> 00:08:57.667 When I was banished from the party, 00:08:58.292 --> 00:09:02.797 and I couldn't be with Itsuki-sama when I wanted to help him most, 00:09:03.798 --> 00:09:06.884 I wondered what it was I was even doing. 00:09:10.137 --> 00:09:12.348 Even if you had stayed with him, 00:09:12.348 --> 00:09:16.227 do you think you could've accomplished anything? 00:09:18.062 --> 00:09:22.567 Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. 00:09:24.151 --> 00:09:28.030 I just thought that now, maybe you could accomplish something. 00:09:29.615 --> 00:09:35.329 You, who fought the Spirit Tortoise not as a comrade of the Bow Hero, 00:09:35.329 --> 00:09:37.582 but of the Shield Hero... 00:09:39.667 --> 00:09:44.297 I think that now, you could help the Bow Hero. 00:09:47.592 --> 00:09:49.468 I-I'm sorry! 00:09:49.969 --> 00:09:53.347 H-Huh?
