Melromarc Castle Celebration
After the previous wave, the Heroes and their Companions are being thrown a victory celebration in castle Melromarc, oh Jango Fett and Raphtalia is attending it too but Jango knew this is totally a bad idea because that Spear Hero creep Motoyasu will flirt with Raphtalia again but they have to be there for the payment that was promised.
"Oh quit bragging about it", Jango whispered after that Knight Captain bragged about defeating a huge monster when he actually did nothing at all.
Motoyasu was surrounded by dozens of Noble ladies who enquirers about his love life which was interrupted by a jealous Malty. Motoyasu sees Raphtalia and tries to talk to her but was stopped by Malty who whispers that Raphtalia is forced to be Naofumi's but actually Jango Fett's slave and that he should save that poor girl, but this actually another one of Malty's tricks to discredit the Shield Hero.
"Hey Jango about you eat some of this cake I got", Raphtalia offer some of the cake she got for Jango.
"Thank you Raphtalia", Jango takes it and but he slowly lifts his Mando helmet up a bit to prevent everyone present in the castle from seeing his face.
"Naofumi! I heard that Raphtalia-chan is your slave and your party member", Motoyasu speaks to Jango still thinking he's Naofumi.
"So what if she is Motoyasu? What's your point on this?" Jango eventually speaks up with his own voice.
"I challenge you to a duel, if I win she can have her freedom", Motoyasu said the condition and results of the duel, plus even though they heard Jango's voice everybody still think he's Naofumi, they just believe the Mandalorian helmet gave him a voice changer.
"That's only in your opinion Spear creep and besides Slavery is not illegal in this territory, plus why do you all even care, from what I heard you all hate Demi-Humans", Jango reminds that slavery is legal in the country and everyone here hates Demi-Humans.
"We are heroes and what you are doing is wrong like taking a slave", Motoyasu counters, plus Ren and Itsuki have their opinions while disgusted with someone they still think is Naofumi.
"He has a slave as his own party member."
"I never thought he would go that far."
"Oh and what happens if I win then Motoyasu?" Jango demands to know what happens if he wins.
"Then you get to keep things as it is", Motoyasu answered but Jango only sees it as not a reward.
"I'm not interested in this duel because what your saying is no reward", Jango gets up and leaves but was stopped by a knight while coming down the stairs.
"I overheard all that, you will challenge Motoyasu so he can win Raphtalia's freedom", looks like the King is also on to it but also back up by Malty as well.
"Hey I'm only his follower not slave", Raphtalia attempts to defend Jango but was suddenly kidnapped by the knights and dragged away.
"Raphtalia might be forced to defend her master because of the slave crest on her", the King reasoned but actually Raphtalia is under her own free will.
"Let I remind you that the Shield Hero can't attack much and can't wield other weapons", Malty said to who she thinks is Naofumi which sneer the crowd into laughter.
'Will see about that', Jango thought to himself since he plans on using his Westar-34 guns which the Legendary Shield will not prevent from him from doing so.

Courtyard
Jango Fett and Motoyasu Kitamura prepare for the duel with an audiences, the King, the Heroes, their companions, Malty and one the looks like High Priest watching. As for Raphtalia, she is tied up and gagged to a chair with knights guarding her which Jango and probably Naofumi if he was still here will fine some what of annoyance and so wrong.
"Listen to the tale about the all penetrating spear and the unbreakable shield, I wonder which one is stronger?" Motoyasu mocks Jango whom he still believes is Naofumi and prepares to fight.
Jango doesn't answer the question before all of sudden he pulls out both of his Westar-34 guns and shoots a barrage of laser bolts at Motoyasu who started dodging but wasn't prepared for that.
"What the?! He's got a gun!" Ren shouted much to everyone shock that the Shield Hero has access to other weapons when he wasn't supposed to.
"That's impossible the Shield Hero can't use other weapons!" The King said in shock about what he and everyone is seeing, well they still have no idea that Jango Fett is not Naofumi and his weapons are part of his Mandalorian armor which is the reason why the Legendary Shield doesn't stop him from using them.
Jango continues to shoot at Motoyasu as he keeps dodging each shot, Jango then activates his Jetpack and keeps shooting while up in the air. Motoyasu rolls away from the laser shots as Jango stays up in the air.
"He's got a Jetpack too!" Itsuki shouted but only those on Earth know about those kinds of tools while in this world's inhabitants have no knowledge of that.
Jango's next move is shooting the rocket on his Jetpack, the rocket didn't hit Motoyasu but sends him flying and dropping his Legendary Spear. Jango then lands an air kick on Motoyasu but he counters by jump kicking causing Jango to fall on his back and drop one of his Westar-34 guns, they resort to CQC with their punches and kicks. Motoyasu spins kicks Jango on the helmet face on the ground before pushing him back with a kick, Jango was going to wack Motoyasu with the Legendary Shield but was blocked which resorted Jango to headbutt him.
Motoyasu attempts to get his Legendary Spear back but Jango activates his Jetpack snatches him with his Whipcord and starts flying around the courtyard dragging him around and slamming him into each of the wall. Then Motoyasu manage to tug on the whipcord causing Jango to crash on the ground but still he was able land next to his Westar-34 gun he dropped. Jango picks his gun up and shoots at Motoyasu but miss and he kicks him sending him flying into a wall.
"Ah oh!" Motoyasu forgot about Jango's whipcord causing him to get dragged along but Jango manage to dodge him thanks to his jJetback and eject his whipcord.
Jango optics from his helmet alerts him that Malty was about to use her Wind Magic on him while he has his back turn in order to cheat but he knows that the King would allow that due to the fact Malty is his daughter. Jango manage to avoid Malty's Wind Magic with his Jetback and lands a kick on Motoyasu right on the face, Motoyasu becomes exhausted from the fight.
"That's is enough!" The King declares that the fight is over and no one comes out as the victor.
"Okay Shield Hero you better have some explanation on how do you have access to order weapons!" Malty angrily demanded to know how.
"Yeah you better tell us Naofumi!" Ren shouted at him with a glare.
"Naofumi?" Jango then puts both hands on his helmet and removes it revealing himself to everyone in the courtyard.
"My name is Jango Fett and I'm the new Shield Hero. After Naofumi stormed out of the castle in rage and filled with vengeance he was ambushed by bandits who fatally injured him. Then I appeared and save his life before they can finish him off but he dies from injuries not before telling me to do him a favor which I planned to do. After his death and I buried him and I took the mantle of the Shield Hero", Jango reveals himself especially revealing what happened to Naofumi.
"For the record my guns and other weapons is part of my Mandalorian armor and that's the reason why I have access to it. Oh the reason why I didn't bother to correct you all that I'm not him, because it's interesting to let you all think I'm him until it's time to reveal myself", Jango puts his Mando helmet back on flies to Raphtalia and frees her before flying back to the courtyard, oh the knights didn't bother to stop him because they fear his guns.
"What about Raphtalia-chan", Motoyasu goes to the Raphtalia subject.
"Slave yes, abusing her NO! Lastly I let her do things under her own free will", Jango answers that she is really a slave but never doing anything bad to her and he's been treating perfectly fine including some free will.
"Jango is right, he's always treated me with all sorts of kindness on him", Raphtalia says but Motoyasu still believes that she is brainwash but to Ren and Itsuki they think Raphtalia is loyal to Jango Fett.
"If you want more info on me, well you'll get it next time", Jango said as the Slave I appears and he flies to it, boards it and flies away.
"Was that a ship from space?" Itsuki ask after recognizing the thruster engines.
"Jango Fett could be from space", Ren said and believes that Fett is from space.
'Fett is really going to pay for this!' Malty thought to herself in anger.
'That new Shield Hero will pay dearly for this!' The King thought the same thing with anger.

Next Morning
"Raphtalia are you really adult now?"
"Demi-Humans share a unique biological quirk with monsters, Demi-human children rapidly age in proportion to their level and this is one of the main reasons why they're considered the same as monsters and discriminated in Melromarc", Raphtalia explains everything she knows.
"You know what I can really taste the food now because to when we got interrupted by Motoyasu", Jango said chomping on a sandwich.
