Harry strode through the palace doors and walked into the city taking in the sites. He really didn't need a change of clothes as he perfectly fitted right at home in this medieval setting. He tasted some of the local delicacies which were quite fascinating and he was a great cook himself.

Harry went to the weapon shops to see what they sold and he was quite dissapointed, truly the goblins were at their finest with their weapons. It also helps that they had a connection with the dwarves in his homeworld. Still, Harry has a lot of weapons and armors in his trunk from his inheritance and let's not forget the sword of Gryffindor with a basilisk venom, now, that's just overkill.

Harry also knew his runes and could probably enchant a weapon to never dull and auto repair itself so durability wouldn't be a problem. He would probably bankrupt this world's economy if he does, so he kept to himself.

Next Harry browsed through the magical tomes of spell in this world, it was really fascinating. Harry tested himself for his affinity test with an orb and surprisingly the orb broke leaving the owner quite baffled. Harry guessed it was his surprisingly high mana density coupled with his magical core that broke the testing orb. From what he skimmed from the magic tomes is that people can only cast spells of their affinity and borrows powers from nature unlike wizards who have their own magical core and magical focus such as wands to regulate the power input resulting in a precision work spell casting.

The currency here was in gold, silver and copper coins. 100 coppers = 1 silver, 100 silver = 1 gold. Harry earlier exchanged his gold gallons into gold coins which he found out was twice the purity so the exchange rate was 1 galleon = 2 gold coins.

Harry has had a busy day so he went and slept the night at an inn where he warded the place just to be safe.

The next day was really a shocker, the hero of shield seems to have been arrested for defiling (ahem, sex with) the princess and has had his items confiscated leaving him with only the clothes behind his back and the shield on his arm. This was the news Harry woke up to, he was reminded of his days at the wizarding world at Naofomi's situation and he sought to rectify it.

After Harry had his breakfast, he sought Naofumi out, it really wasn't that hard considering Naofomi's infamous reputation.

Harry found Naofumi at the outskirts of town fighting balloons (low level monster).

"Yo." Harry called out to Naofomi.

"You're that innocent bystander guy from before, have you come to persecute and condemn me too?." Asked Naofumi sarcastically.

"Nope, I came to hear your side of your story." Said Harry.

Naofomi was shocked, so he answered truthfully "I was set up, I'm innocent." He said preparing to hear the words to condemn him too from Harry.

"I believe you." Harry said which shocked Naofumi. What Harry really did was cast a slight legimens scan on Naofumi. He really didn't need to dive deeper into his thoughts but just skim the surface of his mind.

"Hmmm, here you need this more than I do." Harry said as he tossed a 1000 gold coin pouch at Naofomi.

Naofumi was shocked at the gesture, more than so that the pouch contained that much money, he really couldn't accept it and not be seen as pitied by Harry. So he wanted to return the money pouch.

"I'm sorry I can't accept this, huh?." Naofumi said only to realize Harry was gone.

Naofumi was shocked and confused, he chuckled, he really has no choice now but to use the money from the good will of his fellow adventurer. It calmed his heart that at least there is one person who has his trust.

Naofumi gave a genuine smile and went ahead with his plan to buy a slave who wouldn't betray him.

Harry was singing a happy tune, he was glad that he could help Naofumi, he knew how sheep people think first hand, and knew how much damage they could do from first hand experience.

"Now what to do." Harry thought as he passed by a nearby apothecary. He halted in his tracks and glanced at the shop. He proceeded to enter it and browse at their wares. His findings made him sad, the potions here were inferior from his stocks, of course he has a greenhouse farm in his trunk for magical plants, still he was interested and he decided to apprentice in the shop.

The learning experience was simply enjoyable, Harry learned to make a some potions. These are what Harry learned.

Simple red potion - Basic red potion. Even beginners can create. Little effecacy. Unscented and odorless.

Infant Hp potion - Small potion for children. Good for cold. Slightly sticky taste.

Raspberry Potion - Potion for dessert, instead of juice. Popular with young women.

Simple blue potion - Basic blue potion. Even beginners can create. Little effecacy. Unscented and odorless.

Infant Mp potion - Small potion for children. Good for headache. Slightly bitter taste.

Blueberry Potion - Potion for dessert, instead of juice. Popular with students.

Simple yellow potion - Basic yellow potion. Even beginners can create. Little effecacy. Unscented and odorless.

Infant Sp potion - Small potion for children. Good for stomach. Slightly sweet taste.

Orange Potion - Potion for dessert, instead of juice. Popular with young men.

Harry was busy picking out herbs and making potions, it was a fairly simple lifestyle. He even hunted some monsters along the way. He also heard the exploits of each hero especially the gossip on how the shield hero was procuring a slave.

Harry paid no mind at all and continued his apprenticeship. He could be considered a novice but decided that staying in one place wasn't for him. Still he really liked making potions so be bought the advanced and masters potion books for a hefty sum of money and went his merry way.

Harry was bored, a bored Harry is a dangerous harry. Then Harry was struck with an idea, "I want my own village." He said as he exchanged more of his galleon into gold coins and went straight to the palace.

There the king of melromarc, Aultcray was lazily sitting on his throne.

"Announcing, Sir Harry, to see the king." Said the announcer, and the King getting a sudden jolt at the familiar name. Still the king thought that this wasn't as bad at the scale of the shield Hero.

"Hello Innocent bystandard-san, what can I do for you today." The king said playfully.

"Hello king Aultcray, I came here to you today to buy some land." Harry said with a straight face.

"Hmm, that's a tall order, a small village of land cost 50,000 gold coins and is no small amount of money, are you sure you can afford it?." Asked the king doubtedly.

"Ahh good, I'd like 10 times the amount of land for 500,000 thousand gold coins please." Said Harry.

The king was shocked, so naturally he decided to call Harry's bluff.

"That can be arranged, with that amount of land I can also throw in a duke nobility award to you, now then, show me the money." Said the King whose eyes flashed some dollar sign.

"Okay, here." Said Harry as he took out some gold coins from his bottomless and weightless mokeskin pouch and layer it in front of the king.

The king wasn't fazed on by how Harry took out the money out from a small pouch, he was more focused on the amount of money Harry pulled out.

The King's eyes bulged out and drooled with anticipation, he waited and waited until Harry was finished.

"There, 500,000 gold coins." Said Harry.

"Guards, call the royal accountant to count the money." Said The king with a commanding tone in his voice.

"I'm the royal accountant siŕe, to how may I be of service."

"Count the gold coins this man has provided us with." Said the king.

"Yes my king, at once."

30 minutes later.

"I have finished my king, the total number of gold coins is indeed 500,000." Said the accountant.

"Good, good." The king then clapped his hands and the guard procured a piece of paper.

"Here Mr. Potter is the deed of the land past west of here, also here is a certificate and seal of your new status as duke of this kindom, a guard with a carriage will show you to your land, nice doing business with you Sir Potter, or should I say Duke Potter." Said the King pleased with this business venture.

The guards guided Harry to a carriage with chocobo and drove to his new land. Harry later asked to what those creatures were and found out that they were filo Rials. The ride was 3 hours long, the guards weren't really for company as they were nervous to my status.

Harry arrived at his small kingdom. Harry dismissed the guards saying he will be fine. When noone was looking Harry called Doby and his army of house elves living in his trunk. They were from the various Potter estates in his homeworld numbering to three hundred houselves, yes that many. Since the elves was tied to Harry's magic and they need Harry to survive and be of service to him, they gladly accompanied him in his trunk when he left the wizarding world, there was a whole world in that enchanted trunk. He enchanted it himself later as he studied the vast library from his inheritance from his great great great great ancestors.

Harry warded his land with a large scale fidelious charm with him as the secret keeper, he named his new city Avalon and let his army elves help do the work that they gladly complied

Two weeks later and his city was done, it was all thanks to his ever hardworking house elves that it could be accomplished in two weeks time

Avalon was surrounded by massive stone walls, it was built around like a fortress like manner, mirroring the great Wall of china. The fields were plowed, some parts of the lands were warded for magical creature breeding to be used for potions ingredients as well as for magical plants. Some stocked animals were there from pigs, cattles, sheeps and poultries.

A big mansion was built to be Harry's residence while some houses were built within avalon for immigrants and some buildings were built for shops and hospital.

Harry himself was surprised to how his house elves worked their magic, they did encountered some monsters here and there, but it was no match for Harry and his army of magic empowered house elves.

Harry's city was really thriving, Harry smirked at the irony.

"Imagine that, a thriving city with little or no residents." Harry said as he chuckled and continued helping his house elves renovated the land and ward off monsters and having cast an anti-apparition ward, evil intent ward, anti-scry ward and many other wards Hary threw in.

It also helps that Avalon was directly below the ley line making Harry's ward powered by runes via ley lines that much sufficient and strong. Harry also prepared a reductor and stupify auto firing mechanism at his defense towers situated around the city in case of the wave appearing in his city.

Harry cackled, it could be said that if Harry shouted "By the power of Grey skull" that his land would float into the sky, that one was currently his side project, hey, a man dream, a man can dream.

It was a nice day when suddenly Harry felt a sensation of forcefull apparition.

Harry realized something. "The Dragon Engraved Hourglass is inside that clockltower building. When the final bit of sand from the hourglass drips down, the Heroes along with their merry band will be teleported to where the wave of great calamity will occur." was what Harry remembered from his investigations before.

Naofumis' POV:

Bikin!

A deafening sound echoed throughout the world.

The very next instance, my vision was flushed away and the scenery around me changed. I was probably being warped.

"The sky..."

Dyed an eerie wine red, cracks began peeling away and expanding outward through the sky due to the dimensional rift.

"So this is..."

While assessing the scene, three shadows dashed passed me, followed by twelve other people.

Those shitty heroes.

I also tailed them since it was the obvious thing to do, but where were they heading off to?

While sprinting onward, I saw enemies come crawling out and pushing against each other through the large crack in the sky.

"This is the vicinity of Riyuuto village!"

Raphtalia anxiously exclaimed after examining the surrounding area.

"Since this is all farm land, a lot of people should still be dwelling here!"

"But everyone should have already evacu-" Said the hero of the shield

Then a sudden realization hit me.

We never knew beforehand where the Wave of Calamity would appear, right? Then how the hell would we know which locations needed to be evacuated?

"You fools, wait a minute!"

Refusing to heed my calls, the three idiotic heroes dashed straight towards the source of the wave.

During that time a group of monstrous spiders, having separated themselves from the overflowing monster horde, headed straight towards the village's direction.

Wait, the buffoon hero troupe had shot something like a bullet flare up into the sky, signaling a sort of message.

It must have been to inform the knight squadrons and rally them to their location.

"Tsk! Raphtalia! Let's go protect the village!"

"HAI!"

"Oi."

"...Harry-san?." Said a baffled Naofumi.

"Who is this Naofumi-sama?."

"This is Harry, my friend." Said Naofumi.

"By the way let's talk later while heading to the village." Said Naofumi.

We then rushed to a different direction, separating from those shitty heroes.

Along the way Naofomi talked to Harry.

"Harry?, what are you doing here?, aren't you an innocent bystander?, you shouldn't be here." Questioned Naofumi.

"Hmm, let me see, I'm not supposed to be here but I'm considered to be in your faction, look at your friend list." Harry explained.

Then it clicked.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this." Said Naofumi.

"Don't worry about it, I'm not so helpless as I look, I maybe an innocent bystander, but I do have a people saving thing, besides, I have a trick or two up my sleeve." Replied Harry.

"Thanks Harry, for being here." Naofumi said reassured by his friend.

"Lets go, by the way this is Raphtalia, my companion." Said Naofumi.

"Nice to meet you Raphtalia-san."

"Nice to meet you too Harry-san."

We arrived right on time as the demons overflowing from the wave started to wreak havoc within the village.

The adventurers and soldiers stationed there were barely able to defend against the horde's onslaught. They were greatly outnumbered...

... and the line of defense was about to break.

"Raphtalia, Harry, please evacuate the villagers."

"Huh? What about Naofumi-sama..?"

"I will aggro the enemy!"

Harry saw the shield hero flung himself into the frontline and bashed with his shield against a group of locust-looking monsters.

The sound of metal colliding was there but the damage obviously wasn't.

However, he was able to grab their attention.

It was the same as what I had always done with Raphtalia.

"Gugi!"

The herd of tiny locust-like monsters charged at the shield hero's direction. Moving on, he immediately decided on his next targets: the ghouls and the swarm of wasps.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Was it thanks to the hero shields armor, or was it the shield? either way he received zero damage as usual.

"Yu-yuusha-sama?"

"Ah, right... You guys go and reorganize yourselves while I hold them back!"

Harry saw a lot of familiar faces within the Riyuto village bunch.

"Y-yes sir!"

Fortunately, no one was fatally wounded among the survivors even though The hero shield was the only one on the frontline.

"What the..."

What was that thought just now? How unpleasant.

While the hero shield was dazed, the monsters attempted to knock him out of commission with their claw, fang, and needle attacks.

Even though there were the sweet sounds of impact, it seems like he didn't feel any pain, only a bit of an itch. However, the feeling watching them crawling all over his body was beyond disgusting.

Hence Harry couldn't help but beat the crap out of the mobs.

"Reducto, Reducto, Reducto." Could be heard behind the Hero shield.

A blast of red light flashed before the Naofomi's eyes as the monsters were quickly being eradicated.

"Damn it, didn't any of the inhabitants of this world know how to leave people alone?" Naofumi complained as more swarms overwhelmed him.

But Naofomi guessed it couldn't be helped since the wave of great calamity was happening and all that.

"He-help m―!"

Behind Naofomi, the innkeeper whom he was indebted to was being attacked by a monster.

Right before the innkeeper got decapitated by the monster's claw, I heard a shout:

"Protego"

I heard Harry cast the skill, and a lifesaving magical shield was immediately summoned and rescued the innkeeper.

He was surprised at the sudden appearance of the shield and looked towards my direction.

"Run for it!" Shouted Naofumi.

"... Ooh, thank you."

After he bowed from his waist and voiced his gratitude, the innkeeper left the scene along with his family.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

A stereotypical, ear-deafening shriek.

It was the sight of a damsel in distress fleeing away with a gang of pursuing monsters.

Naofumi approached the vicinity leaving Harry with his capable hands his portion of the monsters to deal with.

"Shield Prison!"

Naofumi called forth a box of shields to surround and protect the damsel.

With the shields' sudden appearance, the monsters switched their target to him.

"That's good. Come over here. I'm very delicious." Taunted Naofumi.

Before the duration time of the Shield Prison expired, Naofumi lured the monsters away and returned to the frontline.

WAM! BAM!

Haah haah...

My body steadily became heavier with the increasing number of monsters.

Then, a rain of fire poured down on top of me.

Behind the horde of monsters, I could spot the knight squadron's arrival. The magic users among their ranks were shooting out their magic; so this was the cause of the fire.

"DUDES! There are allies over here!"

Although, there was only me and Harry here.

The monsters were quickly ignited and turned into cinders.

Since there were a lot of insects they burned nicely.

Apparently, not only was my physical defense high but my magical defense was as well.

The front line was burning brightly with a crimson red. Anger swelled up from within me while questioning the motive behind this friendly fire; I glared and approached the knight squadron amidst the mayhem as my cloak fluttered, scattering the flames.

"Hmph, so that is the Shield Hero... He's surprisingly resilient."

The person who appeared to be the knight commander threw me a glance and spat on the ground while uttering those words.

Then a shadow dashed at him, brandishing a sword.

And with a loud 'Klang!', the knight commander quickly unsheathed his own sword and locked blades with his attacker.

"What was the meaning of your actions against Naofumi-sama?! I will cut you down depending on your answer!"

Raphtalia declared with great bloodlust.

"A companion of the Shield Hero, huh?"

"Correct, I am Naofumi-sama's blade! I shall not forgive any act of disrespect!"

"... How dare a demi-human try to speak on the same level as us knights?"

"You have neglected your duties of protecting civilians and attacked your own allies, specifically Naofumi-sama whom you tried burning along with all the monsters using your magic. For those reasons, you people are unfit to be called knights!"

"Isn't it fine since he's still safe and sound over there?"

"No it's not!"

Raphtalia passionately continued arguing with the knight commander while the others began to surround her.

"Shield Prison!"

"Damn, you basta――"

I confined the encircling knights with my shields and stared down at the knights who tried to usurp my hard work.

"... Aren't the real enemies here the monsters spawned from the wave? Don't mix up your objectives!"

Ashen-faced, the knights turned their heads away after my rebuttal.

"A criminal Hero doesn't have the right to say such crap."

"Oh well... I'm fine with anything. So I guess it's safe to say that you guys want to make an enemy out of me?"

The frontline was brimming with fire blazing monsters who were crawling all over my face, with more and more from the wave joining the fray.

Looking at me withstanding all of that, the knights' faces turned completely blue.

After all, I was the Shield Hero. 'Do not mess with this guy' or other lines of reasoning were there.

"Raphtalia, did you finish with the evacuation?"

"No... it's not done yet. I believe that it will take a little bit more time, Harry went ahead and continued the evacuation."

"Understood, then hurry up and evacuate the civilians."

"But..."

"Though our allies had rained fire on me, it wasn't even painful or ticklish. It just... left a feeling of being licked on my arms and legs."

I patted Raphtalia's shoulder and followed with a glare at the knights.

"... I will definitely kill you, no matter what it will take. I'll lure the worst monsters here and abandon you, for example, as well as all that other fun stuff too."

My threat was effective; the knights stopped chanting magic and gasped.

"Now then, Raphtalia. The fight's already started; let's remove the disabled away from the battlefield, discarding all this dead weight. Wow, look at that. There sure are a bunch of enemies. Yes, let's do just that."

Unexpectedly, since the knights can seemingly hold their own... it should be alright to ditch them here.

"Y-yes!"

Upon my orders, Raphtalia rushed back to the village.

"Shit! Putting on airs even though you're just a criminal Hero."

The knight commander bellowed at me like an idiot right when the Shield Prison's duration time expired.

"Alright, so you... want to die?"

Monsters began to stir towards me.

The idiot shuts up, knowing what would happen if I were to abandon them and only protect myself.

Geez, I couldn't seem to find a decent person amongst all of these people.

These guys were the type that thought that I wouldn't be able to do anything other than protect others since I was nothing but a Shield Hero. Who the hell would ever help others for the fun of it?

Afterwards, the cleanup of the stranded monsters from the wave was completed to some extent.

Once she and Harry was done with evacuating the civilians, Raphtalia and Harry returned to the frontline, that was when I commenced my retaliation.

Using the knight squadron as our human shield, we finished off the monsters by baiting them into our encircled formation. And a few hours had passed by in no time at all.

"Alright, I guess that's the end."

"Seems like it, this boss was a cakewalk."

"Yep, at this rate, the next wave will also be a cinch."

Our bravely fought heroes were simply chatting at the heart of the frontline; where the corpse of a Chimera, the wave's Boss, laid.

It was as if the job of evacuating civilians were only the adventurers and knights' responsibility...

Even though a month had already passed, these folks still think that all of this is nothing but a game.

It was quite a hassle for me to ignore these shitty heroes, but I was relieved that I managed to survive this wave.

The sky's color was still pitch black. Although it was only a matter of time before it would be dyed orange by the setting sun.

With this, I should be able to stay alive for at least another month.

... Although I didn't receive any damage, that was probably due to the wave being weak: for now. I honestly don't know if I can endure the next one.

Sooner or later I'll be unable to withstand their attacks... what in the world would happen to me then?

"A job well done, oh brave heroes. The king has properly readied a feast in celebration for your achievements. We humbly invite you to join in since we will also be handing out your rewards there."

I naturally didn't want to participate. However, I had more money to spare than what I could with. So I'll bless them with my absence.

"No thanks, I'll stay here and help the village rebuild." Said Naofumi.

"Ah, um..."

The Riyuto villagers saw me and came over to talk.

"What?"

"Thank you very much. We would all be dead if you weren't here."

"It would be the same if I wasn't around."

"No."

Another villager refused my comment.

"It was thanks to you being there that we were able to survive."

"If you think so, then just do whatever you want."

"""YES!"""

The villagers bowed to me and went back.

Their village was violently raided. I suppose that it would be quite a hassle to reconstruct it afterwards.

They merely expressed their gratitude to their life savior, whom they usually despise... what a calculating bunch.

"Naofumi-sama!"

After the long battle, a muddy, sweaty and smiling Raphtalia came running over to me.

"We really did it! Everyone is expressing their gratitude."

"... I guess."

"With this, there will be nobody who'll end up like me. It was all thanks to Naofumi-sama!"

"... Haaa."

"Good job Naofumi-san." Said Harry in a good guy pose, such awkwardness.

So this was what they called a post-war bliss, famous throughout the history of my birthplace; Raphtalia was moved to tears.

"I too... tried my best."

"Right, you did well."

I praise her while patting her head.

That's right. Raphtalia had followed my orders and fought devotedly.

It would be a folly of mine to falsely evaluate that.

"I defeated a bunch of monsters."

"Haha, that certainly saved me."

"Guhehe."

I felt a bit uncomfortable with Raphtalia laughing so blissfully like this, we headed towards the village.

Meanwhile, the guards were smiling smugly that the Hero of the shield wasn't coming to get his reward, "He would probably get a paltry sum even if he came to the king." Thought the guards.

Riyuuto village

"Yuusha-sama, we thank you again for helping save our lives." Said the villager.

"Your welcome, it wasn't hurt me, Raphtalia and Harry also helped." Said Naofumi.

"You really look dashing in that barbarian armor Naofumi-sama." Said one of the villagers.

"Thanks." Replied Naofumi.

"Anyways, we're here to help rebuild Riyuuto village."

"Leave us to us Naofumi-sama, meanwhile, kindly prepare your food, everyone, you have to try Naofumi-sama's cooking, it's simply divine, everyone let's work hard so we can take Naofumi-sama's cooking.." Said Raphtalia

"Ohhhhh!." Said the hyped up villagers.

"Well I'll also do my part." Said Harry as he took his wand out.

"Now watch the master at work, Reparo Maxima!." Said Harry pointing at the house.

The villagers, Naofumi and Raphtalia was shocked as the house reassembled itself into a new house.

"Impossible, Whoa, Cool." Where some varied reactions from the crowd

"That's amazing." Naofumi commented.

"I can only do that if the materials before are not burnt and they have to be in the area to reassemble themselves within the location which means, only half of the village houses who weren't burnt by the fire spells can be fixed like this." Explained Harry.

"Even so, that's still amazing." Said Naofumi.

"Thank you Harry-sama." Said the villagers.

Half a day passed and Harry helped rebuilt half of the villagers house that was salvageable and repairable.

The rest of the villagers also chipped in too and rebuilt some of the houses, at least with Harry's help, the village has plenty of houses to accommodate them.

Later that evening Harry was finally able to eat Naofomi's cooking, indeed it would rival his own, "Kudos to Naofumi-san." Harry said as he complimented the Chef.

"Naofumi-sama!, Naofumi-sama, I just heard the news some demi-humans from the neighboring cities are migrating here due to some assault on a a stray wave monster, The King has sent orders to turn them away but clearly they couldn't go back, if this escalates there will be a mass riot for both the demi-humans and Melromarc. Bad enough that were at war with Sit welt."

"Damn King." Naofumi raged in anger.

"Where might I ask is this happening?." Asked Harry curiously.

"It's at the northern border at Melromarc near Fushia city, as I recall there are four villages located along the way they are pallet town, viridian city, pewter city and cerulean city"

"Harry-san?." Naofumi asked in a questioning gaze.

"This looks like a job for me." Harry said.

"And why is that Harry-san?." Asked the curious Naofumi.

"Because." Harry took out the imperial duke seal and said.

"Im now a duke of Melromarc, and it's my duty to ease the tension between the demi-human and Melromarc." Harry said smugly.

"Whaaat!."

"Impossible, that's the royal seal of Melromarc, only high ranking nobles has one of those." Said the knowledgeable village.

"Your higness."

"Your Highness."

Harry feeling the mood and his otakuness showed his ugly head so Harry Shouted.

"ALL HAIL BRITANIA!."

"..."

"What?, I couldn't help it, I'm a fan of code geass." Explained Harry.

Everyone in the village was baffled by the eccentric actions of Harry and only Naofumi understood what Harry meant and sweatdropped.
