Prologue:

Garfiel Tinsel, Natsuki Subaru, and Otto Suwen, three best friends, were relaxing in one of the private rooms in the Miload's mansion. The three have been close since the Sanctuary incident with the trio doing their best to hangout despite having a lot of duties in their hands. Natsuki Subaru being the official knight of the leader of the Emilia camp, Emilia herself.

Otto Suwen being the Head of Internal Affairs of the Emilia camp. Garfiel is the only one who doesn't have a big job aside from him wanting to become the strongest in Lugnica. The trio had managed to find a day where they could relax for once. The trio was silent for a moment before Otto broke the silence by asking:

"Natsuki-san, how does it feel being Emilia's knight?"

"Yea', how's it bein' princess' knight, cap'n?"

"Honestly, amazing." The knight said as he looked up at the sky, thinking back on his moments with Emilia. "Being there by Emilia-tan's side is just amazing."

Both Otto and Garfiel looked at each other for a moment before chuckling a bit, seeing that their best friend and brother were dozing off in his daydreams once again. Despite having such an important role and managing to be serious on specific days, the pair know that deep down in Natsuki Subaru's core, he is still a kid at heart. Garfiel took this opportunity to ask his captain:

"So Cap'n, have ya made a move on th'princess?"

"What?" Subaru says as this question snapped him out of his daydreaming. Otto couldn't help but try to chim in by saying:

"Yeah, it seems like you've been spending so much time with Emilia-sama, the two of you should've done something by now." As Otto says this, Subaru's face turns red for a brief moment, having recalled a certain kiss he had shared with Emilia back in the Sanctuary. While he was still with a red face, both Garfiel and Otto began to laugh since they found this hilarious.

"Come on Cap'n, ya gotta tell us!"

"I'll have to agree with Garfiel on this one, Natsuki-san."

"I-I'll have you know that Emilia-tan and I have done something!" Subaru said in a knee jerk reaction since he wants to defend his honor. Garfiel and Otto looked with a curious facial expression only for their expressions to turn into one of fear.

"And what would that be?" The atmosphere went cold as the three boys heard the harsh if not intimidating words from one of the toughest maids in the mansion, Ram. Subaru immediately realized he fucked up since he knows that anything he says now, Ram will exaggerate it. He took a moment to think of something before slowly turning towards the pink haired maid, noticing the fire in her pink eyes.

"I-It wasn't anything bad, I'm just getting to know Emilia-tan more and more each day—"

Without warning, Ram slapped Subaru across the face, sending him flying into a wall. Otto was shocked while Garfiel just smiled at the fact that his crush was able to easily knock away his captain. Before he could compliment or even say hello to his crush, he received a punch to the face, causing him to also be sent flying towards a wall.

Otto himself was the last of the trio to be left standing, completely afraid since he doesn't want to get hurt. Ram slowly looked at the merchant boy and was prepared to punch him as well only to see that he was begging for his life.

"Pl-Please Ram-s-sama...don't hurt me..."

"...Hmph. You are lucky that my anger isn't targeted at you." Ram speaks sharply, igniting fear into the merchant before turning her attention towards the two boys she knocked around. Garfiel was the first to respond in an angered tone,

"Th'hell was th'for?!"

"You and Barusu still haven't cleaned up the mess of that stupid mayo uproar. Not to mention he was speaking like a pervert about Emilia-sama."

"I wasn't saying anyt—"

"Shut it, Barusu." Ram says this after having cut off Subaru by slapping him once again. Subaru was annoyed by this and wanted to retort but he knows better. He just accepted this and began to change the conversation by asking:

"What do you want, Ram?"

"There are some errands that need to be made. Considering that you three are not busy, you all are going to fetch us the groceries."

"...really?" Subaru said as he wanted to have the day off.

"Come on, we aren't doin' yer work, Ram." Garfiel said as he was annoyed by this only for Ram to surprise attack him. As Garfiel was sent back into a wall, Subaru thought quickly in an attempt to keep Ram calm.

"Why are you mad, Ram? I don't think I've ever seen you this mad at all."

"...that is none of your business. Now get the groceries or else." As Ram finishes saying this, she turns around and leaves the room, leaving the three boys completely shocked by the encounter. Otto was grateful that he didn't receive any of Ram's wrath but at the same time, he is afraid of her. Garfiel got up and was angry at how he was randomly attacked and yet he was still in love with Ram, loving just how tough she is.

Subaru himself was still surprised by the way Ram acted, making him think of many possible things that could've happened to make the pink haired maid be in such a sour mood. The three boys stood in the room silent before Garfiel spoke out by saying:

"Aight, who's goin'?"

"What?"

"Now hey Garfiel, all of us have to go."

"Th't ain't our job. Besides, today was suppose t'be our day off."

"Yeah but we can't do much about it."

The three sighed at the same time before going off to pack some things up, seeing that they don't have much of a choice. As the three were heading towards the hallway where their rooms are located, Otto turned towards his two friends to question them on what Ram had said regarding the mess they left.

"Did you really had to make the mayo uproar, Natsuki-san?" Otto asked as he was both curious and disappointed.

"It was something that needed to happen. You just simply missed out in all the fun." Subaru said as he justified the creation of the mayo uproar. Garfiel smiled as he recalled how fun it was being a part of it while Otto just moved his head with disappointment.

"I don't know what is fun about this mayo uproar. I know the mayo tastes amazing and has potential to be something profitable but the thing you two did...you might have overdone it." Otto responded to what Subaru had said. Garfiel couldn't help but respond to his best friend by saying:

"Ya should've been there, Brotto. Cap'n and my amazin' self had fun with that."

"Yes and I would've received a punch by Ram-sama herself. No thanks."

"Let's just get the groceries we need."

Otto and Garfiel both nodded at this before the three went to their separate rooms to get ready. It only took them a moment before they were ready to go off into the town nearby. As the three met back up in the same hallway they split up, Subaru and Otto both noticed Garfiel having his shields with him.

"Um Garfiel, is that really necessary?" Otto asked in a concerned tone of voice, worried that this would only cause trouble for them. Garfiel took notice on this and quickly responded with:

"Don't ya worry Brotto, th's in case we get in a fight." Subaru looked at Garfiel, seeing that he is just preparing himself for a possible fight. Although that would be something if they were heading to the capital, this was a town with kind people.

"Come on Garfiel, this is a calm town. There is no need for this."

"I understand Cap'n but th's just in case."

Both Otto and Subaru sighed before allowing this, knowing that Garfiel is taking them under good intentions. The trio leave the mansion once they were ready and began to make their way towards the town nearby with Ram handing the three a list of things they need to get.

Meanwhile in another world, the night sky was covering the kingdom as deep within, there was a celebration. Music was playing, delicious food was being distributed with many people cheering on towards the king-like figure. The king looks happily at the people before turning his attention at the three he wishes to speak to.

"Splendidly done, brave heroes. Tonight, we celebrate." The king pauses for a brief moment has he lifts up his wine cup. "Enjoy yourselves to the fullest!"

"Hooray!"

"That's the heroes for you."

"Our country has nothing to worry about."

A couple of the guests and noblemen speak among themselves with three heroes enjoying the feast given to them along with another. The other was sitting in the corner on his own, just looking at the window. He wasn't happy being in the party, if anything he wishes to leave. Having had a bad start with the people there, he wishes to be on his own and just collect the reward for his hard efforts of being the Shield Hero.

'Screw this party. I never would have come here if it wasn't for the reward.'

Naofumi's absent mind began to pick up on the conversations around the hall. Some Knight was boasting about fighting a monster on his own, while in truth he cowered in fear. Some other voices he picked up talked about how no one was killed.

'They weren't there, they don't know what it was like out there…' He thought.

Out of the corner of eye, he could see Motoyasu talking with Mai… as well as some other women surrounding him. The mood around them seemed light and happy, blissfully ignorant of the reality of the wave that was truly faced.

"Master Naofumi." He was brought from his thoughts as Raphtalia's voice cut in. He looked over to her, seeing her holding a goblet.

"Aren't you hungry?" She asked him. "The food here looks amazing!"

"If you want to eat then go ahead." It was a rather cold tone, but he didn't mean it, not towards her.

"You should join me!" Raphtalia spoke with a happy tone only for Naofumi to respond in a cold manner:

"I'll Pass."

She frowned a bit at his response before scurrying off on her own. Maybe he upset her. He made a mental note to apologize for that later. He continued to look out the window, looking at the menu of his equipment like an RPG game. While he did that, he noticed something that could've been useful during the wave. He noticed that he could've registered people or objects in order to teleport them with him. This caused him to think back on what happened in the village during the wave.

'Teleport people with me, huh? If only I'd noticed this sooner...' He continued to be in his own thoughts before Raphtalia returned with a piece of cake.

"Let's eat together."

Naofumi was surprised by this, prompting him to turn towards her, seeing that she still had a smile on her face. She tilted her head a little while saying in a happy tone:

"Have a bite."

"No, I..."

Before being able to finish his sentence, Raphtalia had a piece of the cake on the fork she was holding, prompting her to try and feed her master while also interrupting him.

"It's really good you know."

Knowing that he isn't getting out of this, he takes a bite. As he chews on the cake he was feed, Raphtalia continues to speak.

"See?"

'Hm.' Naofumi didn't mind this, since it felt like for once he might get a break from the constant harassment from the others. Just as things seemed calm, someone called out his name.

"Naofumi..."

He turns towards the direction of the voice only to see that person throw his glove directly at him, seeing that it was the Spear hero, Motoyasu. The room went silent for a second as they all noticed the tension growing out of nowhere.

"Duel me."

Once arriving at the town, the trio looked around to see that Frederica and Petra were there. This caused them to be confused since they assumed that it was only them that were to head towards town.

"Maybe they are here on a different errand." Otto said as this was the only conclusion he could come up with. Subaru took a moment to think on this since that is a possibility yet they won't know by speculating.

"One way to find out."

Subaru lead the group towards Frederica and Petra's direction, curious to know what they are doing in town. Once he got close enough, in a respectful manner he said to the two maids:

"Hello. Frederica. Petra."

Both maids take a second before turning towards the three boys. The two were surprised at first, seeing the three there before having a smile on their faces with Petra happy to see Subaru and Frederica happy to see Garfiel.

"Garf, Subaru-sama, Otto, what brings you three here?"

"Yes! What brings you here, Subaru-sama!" Petra chimmed in with her excited tone of voice. Subaru took this opportunity to answer the two maids by saying:

"Ram send us to do the groceries...do you know why she's in a bad mood?" Subaru answered the question alongside asking his very own, knowing that the two maids might have an idea of what's going on. Petra and Frederica were both puzzled by this with Petra being the one to answer Subaru's question.

"Ram-sama wasn't mad at all when we left."

Subaru, Otto, and Garfiel all three looked at one another for a brief moment, all three confused by the answer they got before looking back at the two maids.

"I assume ya two're grocery shoppin'?" Garfiel asked as he figured that Ram must've sent them to help the two maids out. Frederica turned towards Garfiel and nodded, causing the three boys to figure that Ram wanted them out of the mansion for some reason.

"We might as well help you two out with the groceries then." Otto said, seeing that if they go back without helping the two maids, they will look bad themselves. Garfiel and Subaru both agreed with this and quickly asked the pair of maids about what they had left on their list. Petra shows the three the list, allowing the trio to come up with a plan to go and grab a portion each, allowing both Frederica and Petra to relax for now.

The two maids appreciated this and watched as the three boys went off to get the last remaining things from the list. As the three walked around town for a bit, they gathered most of the supplies with not too much effort. Eventually the trio had one last thing on the list before calling it a day.

"This doesn't seem too hard to get." Subaru said as he found shopping for supplies a bit too quick and easy. The only enjoyment he got out of this was hanging out with his bros. Garfiel took a quick look at the list and noticed that it didn't look too hard for him to find it on his own.

"Allow me to get it, Cap'n."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, th's shouldn't be hard."

Subaru and Otto both looked at each other for a moment before giving Garfiel a nod, appreciating his willingness to get the last item of the list on his own. Just as Garfiel was about to leave, Otto cautioned Garfiel by saying:

"Please don't get yourself into any fights, Garfiel-san."

"Don't ya worry, Brotto, I'll be fine."

As Garfiel says this, he goes off to get the last thing on the list. While he was on his own, he was wondering what exactly could've made his crush so mad.

'She's normally calm and insulting but not angry. I swear if Roswaal did somethin', I'll kill him!'

Garfiel thought this, having a feeling that Roswaal could've been involved but he wasn't sure since he knows Ram is a tough woman. He ran for a bit until something caught his attention, causing him to stop on his tracks. Once he fully stopped, he turned towards the building that looked suspicious.

'Wh't's th's place? Looks weird.'

Without a second thought, Garfiel approached the building and went towards the door, getting the same vibes as when he approached the temple to take the trial. Although back then he was scared, at this moment he was full of courage.

Once he was near the door, he took a moment to feel the situation before deciding to check what's inside the building. The second he opened the door, a bright light blinded him for a second. The demi human boy waited a moment before opening his eyes, noticing that something was wrong.
