HC: Arifureta x Shield Hero
I kind of want Hajime and Naofumi to meet since they're so similar. Both betrayed, hatred in their hearts, and badass.
When these two 1st meet, Naofumi would hear gunshots. He'd see Hajime shoot down a monster. Hajime would notice him, then point his gun at him, asking if he's friend or foe. Then, when he's about to be sneak attacked, Naofumi would use his shield to protect him. Then, they fight together until all monsters are dead.
As they loot the monsters, they introduce themselves...and find out that Hajime was summoned to another world w/ his entire class while Naofumi was summoned with 3 other heroes from parallel worlds.
Naofumi offers to cook for Hajime after he explains that he gets his strength from eating monsters, even if it usually tastes bad. After eating a bite of Naofumi's cooking, he says it's delicious. The best meal he's had to date. Naofumi smiles, a bit proud of himself.
Then, they chat about crafting, and that discussion goes on for a long time. Naofumi helps him with his blueprints and accessory making while Hajime shows off his use of magic without spells. They're both impressed.
Shaking hands, they both decide to be friends. And if they ever meet again, they're both welcome in each others' party. Hajime could use a tank while Naofumi could use the DPS.
They part ways, but smile, thinking of their new friend/comrade.
Also, Hajime gifting Naofumi some grenades would be nice...
Also...both Hajime & Naofumi absolutely need guy time.
Both Hajime & Naofumi, "Let me guess...you were summoned to another world and betrayed."
They blink, "You too?"
They clasp their hands together in comradery.
And that's how they can so easily get along...
Shield Hero universe: If a couple of versions of Naofumi met...what would happen?
Like if a failed Shield Demon met his old self, our Naofumi from the anime, along with another from another timeline, from the Spear Hero side story? That would create some chaos.
Of course, all of them would have a soft spot for L'Arc. Definitely.
Plus, if one that became the Mirror Hero for L'Arc's world appeared too, that would be...quite scandalous. Especially considering that Mirror Hero Naofumi is dating L'Arc.
"Naofumi is like a mirror or something, repaying kindness with kindness and being an asshole with being an asshole."
There's apparently a Mirror Hero in L'Arc's world. So... If Naofumi switches to the mirror or was summoned as the Mirror Hero in the 1st place, who would the Shield Hero be? Probably some poor sap...or worst-case scenario, Naofumi's brother.
Either way, L'Arc would like him all the same. (Mirror Hero Naofumi is dating L'Arc.)
