This is a three-way crossover with The Rising of the Shield Hero, That Time I Reincarnated as a Slime, and BOFURI: I'll Max Out My Defense Because I Don't Want to Get Hurt.

This will be a one-shot but it would happen eventually...

The Shield Hero will not be Naofumi but a different and stronger hero…

I do not own anything but my OCs


[? Mysterious Far Away Mountains, Near the Oceans]

A girl with Tanuki Ears and tail had an orange ball in her hand, A busty blonde in a long dark purple dress and holding a rifle, a black-haired girl in samurai armor, a dragon girl(Monster Girl Encyclopedia), followed by goblins, horned people, dragon warriors, orcs, and many more…

"Master? Are you alright?" Tanuki-Girl asked.

"I'm fine…" a boy of age 15(who looks like Rimuru's human form but has black hair).

"...Are you sure?...Master Shizue?" Tanuki girl asked as the name Shizue echoed Shizue's mind.

…Shizue...

…Shizue...

…Shizue...

…Shizue...

...SHIZUE...


Then Shizue woke up…

[Shizue's Room]

"Shizue! Mama will be back!" Shizue's mother said as she closed the door.

Shizue rolled around and saw two pictures on his counter both of his friends in-game and IRL.

The First Picture was in-game called FINAL FRONTIER ONLINE(not real) it's a Virtual Reality Game combining games from the last 10 years or so: Sword Art Online, Gun Gale Online, Alfheim World Online, Yggdrasil, New World Online, Cross Reverie, and even the supposedly myth game, BRAIN BURST. Combining all these games produced a new generation of players and was made by Rimuru Honjou-Tempest and many others and beta tested by Kaede Honjou-Tempest.

On the in-game picture there was a skeleton mage, a blonde little girl in German-style war uniform, a man with horns and white hair wielding a scepter, a guy with pistols, a girl in priestess clothes, a girl with a katana, a girl with white spider legs, a teen in a barbarian armor with an ax, and finally two people: a girl with purple hair in a queen like a dress and a boy with a giant shield.

On the other photo was IRL at a convention. (The order are those names in the game description) Suzuki Satoru or Momonga, Tanya never told us his real name, Diablo or Takuma Satamoto, Hajime Hagumo, Kaori Shirasaki, Shizuku Yaegashi, Shiro "D" Kumoko or Wakaba Hiiro, Naofumi Itwanti, and Xxxxxxx X Xxxxxxxxx (but her face was hard to see because of the glare) and Shizue Honjo-Tempest.

Shizue looked at the calendar.

Six months...Six months…Since…

She died…

And his friends began to disappear...

"Grr...I guess I'll just go out…" Shizue said as he dragged himself out of bed…

Got himself dressed he was just wearing a tee-shirt and shorts.

Shizue walked by locations that brought the good and the bad memories…

But then he stopped at a bookstore…

"Maybe it's time to buy a light novel… never had an interest in them…" Shizue said to himself.


Then Shizue entered the Bookstore…

[Bookstore]

[Manga/Light Novel Section]

"Let's see here…" Shizue said as a book flew out from the shelf!

PHEW!

BAM!

"Okay...let's see what's on this thing…" Shizue said as he picked up the book.

"The Four Cardinal Heroes...Simple but this book looks a bit old…" Shizue said as then opened up the book.

"Legends tells that four heroes from another world shall appear wielding four powerful weapons: the Sword, the Spear, the Bow, and finally the Shield to stop catastrophes called Waves of Cataropies…" Shizue said as he read.

"Cool...I would no doubt, I would have the shield. Let's see who's the characters…" Shizue said.

He then saw the following: a red-haired princess (bitch), a blonde spear user(pervert), a navy-haired sword user(Mr. cool guy), a light green hair bow user(greedy), and-?!

Shizue was shocked to see Naofumi Itwanti in the book?!

"Naofumi?" Shizue said as he then rubbed his eyes and then saw the Shield Hero page was blank…

"Okay...now I know I am going crazy...I thought I saw Naofumi...does this mean Naofumi was Isekai?... I wished I was isekai...just to see her again...but according to my parents isekai had a few rules: death, reincarnation, game isekai, and summoning…" Shizue said as then the book glow as Shizue's eyes were closed.

...

[Unknown Location]

Shizue was now in a room alongside three other teens and facing people in religious clothing…

"What the?" Shizue said in shock.

"Where are we?" the other three teens asked.

"O' brave heroes please save our world and our people!" a man in robe begged.

"Heroes?" the three teens asked as they noticed the weapons they were holding.

"Well, damn...I really was isekai…" Shizue thought as he felt the shield was too light.

"Wait what do you mean "save our world"?" the bow user asked

"It wouldn't be the Waves of Catastrophes would it?" Shizue asked.

"Y-yes! The Waves will destroy our world!" the robed man said.

"Like tsunamis?" the sword user asked.

"No, I think it's more fighting monsters right?" the spear user said excitedly.

"Yeah I thought so, we all have weapons… mine is a shield although I was hoping for a great shield-like my mom uses," Shizue said.

"O brave cardinal heroes, please. The Waves will bury us without your aid!" the Robed man begged desperately.

Shizue had already gone through the shock of being isekai since his parents told stories of their time together in the otherworlds.

"Sure, I will help as much as I can…" Shizue said with a smile.

"A chance to start anew…" Shizue thought.

"A shield? That's just armor it's not a weapon." the spear user said with a petty tone.

"I for one refuse." the bow user said proudly.

"Likewise…" the sword user said.

"Yeah, these two are right sent us back!" the spear user yelled.

"Ungrateful idiots!" Shizue thought.

"B-but we're begging you!" the robed man said with anger, shock, and depression?

"Oi, don't you feel bad about kidnapping us?" We never agreed to this." the sword user said.

Shizue was getting pissed at these so-called "Heroes" already.

"And if you just send us back as soon as we solve all your problems, we'll have worked for nothing." the Bow user said.

"Okay, this is getting out of hand…" Shizue thought.

"Yeah! How are you going to accommodate us? Depending on your answer we may be your enemies." the spear user said as he pointed the spear at them. Scaring them even...

"That's it…" Shizue thought as he then pounded the three in their heads.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

The three "heroes" had giant lumps on their heads.

"I was getting tired of hearing you idiots talk," Shizue said.

"HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" the three heroes yelled.

"You three don't realize what just happened, do you? We've all been isekai to be "heroes" and yet all I see are fools. Now apologize to them...they are begging us to help and you had the nerve to demand things…" Shizue said coldly.

"Sorry girl-" the spear user said but was interrupted by Shizue.

"One I am a guy I just grew my hair long and two apologize to them…" Shizue said as he pointed to the robed people.

"N-no, no! If that's what your fellow heroes were asking about then of course we will compensate you! You are the Four Cardinal Heroes...but the Qu-...groan...I mean the King of our great country can provide you with resources and power as rewards. Please, follow the Nun so you can meet his majesty." the man in robes said.

"Fine...we'll speak with the king…" the sword hero said.

"He better offered us something…" the bow hero said.

"But our demands won't change…" the spear hero said.

"They didn't even apologize…" Shizue thought.

As the three heroes left the room.

"Geeze...I knew this summoning ritual was a bad idea...the Queen will be furious when she returns…" the robed man said as his fellow mages left as well.

"You alright?" Shizue asked.

"Yeah, honestly...this wasn't supposed to happen...thanks for defending me...what's your name?" the robed man asked.

"Shizue, Shizue Honjou-Tempest." Shizue introduces himself.

"Honjou-Tempest?" the robed man said in awe.

"Then my prayers were answered…" the robed man muttered to himself.

"What was that?" Shizue asked.

"N-no nothing...hey after you get a party go to the Black Beast Dungeon and then go to the Library and look up: "The Tale of the Shield Hero and the Slime". It'll help you on your journey…" the robed man said.

"Okay! See ya!" Shizue said as he then ran out of the room to catch up to the heroes.

"Man this shield is too light. Is there a way to change the shield into a great shield? And, I wonder if he's telling the truth?" Shizue thought.


[Notice: Open up the menu it should be located in the lower-right corner of your vision and select for default shield settings and he is…] A voice said in his mind freaking Shizue a bit.


"What the?!" Shizue thought as he looked around but watching him was a tiny blue fairy(Navi Zelda).

Then he looked at the shield.

He opened up the menu and saw the shield he wanted as a default shield...

And in a flash of green light, his shield changed...


[Back with the mage]

"I can't believe it out of all the otherworlders! I manage to influence the ritual to summon the best option for the shield hero…" the robed man began to cry tears of joy.


[Meanwhile with Shizue]

"Wow, look this really is another world…" the bow hero said.

"Yeah, what was your first clue the weapons or the robe mages which you three didn't apologize," Shizue said.

"We were just going with the flow…" the spear hero said.

"Aside from that…" Shizue shakes his head and then faced outside.

"It's really beautiful...just like how my parents described isekai I can smell the lack of pollution…" Shizue said with a smile.

"Just like your parents described it?" the bow hero asked with a confused tone.

"Judging from the breeze...I say Standard Mediterranean Climate…" the sword hero said.

"Whatever…" Shizue said.


[Somewhere else in the castle]

A red hair woman in a purple silk dress saw the four heroes in the courtyard. And she smiled deviously…


[Back with Shizue]

"So, you young men are the four Cardinal Heroes of ancient legends. Welcome to Melomarc, and I am her king Aultcray Mellmarc the XXXII (32nd). Welcome brave heroes, please identify yourselves." Aultcray said.

"Wow, so his father was Aultcray before him and so on?" Shizue thought.

"Ren Amaki, I am a high school student and I'm 16 years old." Ren introduces himself.

"He seems to be a guy I would hang out with although he does seem like a loner…" Shizue thought.

"I am Motoyasu Kitamura, college student, and 21 right now…" Motoyasu introduces himself.

"That guy will be annoying in the future I just know it…" Shizue thought.

"I guess I'm next my name is Itsuki Kawasumi, 17 years old and a high schooler…" Itsuki said.

"He seems to be a rich kid judging from his uniform…" Shizue thought.

"That leaves me. My name is-" Shizue began to introduce himself but was interrupted by the king.

"Very well. Ren, Motoyasu, and Itsuki." Aultcray said ignoring Shizue.

"Yo king, you forgot me." Shizue voiced his complaint.

Then Itsuki whispered into Shizue's ear.

"Hey you can't just say "yo king" address him with respect," Itsuki said.

"Really, this is coming from a guy who threatens unarmed people when you three refuse." Shizue rebutted.

"Besides, respect is earned not given…" Shizue said.

"I see, king is just fine...now will you introduce yourself?" Aultcray said.

"My name is Shizue Honjou-Tempest, I am 15 years old, and just started high school...although I won't be in school for some time considering, right now…" Shizue said as Aultcray and the noble flinched at the name.

Some in fear, anger, shock, and happiness...

"Wait did he say Honjou-Tempest?" the nobles muttered amongst themselves.

Shizue heard the muttering...

"Is there something the matter?" Shizue asked.

"N-no...It's just that...the name "Tempest" was given to two creatures: one was the "Great Storm Dragon", Veladora Tempest, and the other was a slime Veladora named is but records were erase of his name but he had the name Tempest who then unified the monsters clans and terrorized the world, centuries ago. It is shocking to hear a hero with a name of a monster…" Aultcray said while hiding some rage…

"There must be more to this...Tempest, I could get but they're all hiding something...Is it my mother's maiden name?" Shizue thought.

"Anyway...Ahem… My beloved country of Melromarc and the entire world surrounding it are heading down a path to certain ruin." Aultcray said.

"Just like the book…" Shizue thought.

"There's an old apocalyptic prophecy on this word. It speaks of a series of incursions of destructive force. These have come to be known as waves." Aultcray explained.

As Shizue could imagine the waves hoards of monsters were stronger than the last. The Heroes were outnumbered and overmatched. Stranded in a strange alien world and facing monsters beyond imagination. And he also imagined the four cardinal weapons. A bow with an orange crystal, a shield with a green crystal, a sword with a blue crystal, and finally a spear with a red crystal.

"The comes from the sky and turns blood red as monsters appeared from portals. Bringing abominations of destruction upon us. If the calamities brought by the waves are not stopped, the world will meet its end." Aultcray said.

"Every country here has in its possession an ancient dragon hourglass. These devices can predict the arrival of each wave. The first wave washed over this country not long before we were summoned. Between the local nights and traveling adventurers, they somehow managed to fend it off." Aultcray explains.

"But wait if the waves are world-ending...then shouldn't it be every country around the world?" Shizue thought.

"The sand in the hourglass says that the next one is in a month!" Aultcray said.

"But the 2nd Wave will be stronger than the first in a month? Good times ladies and gents…" Shizue said as the King sighs.

"We underestimated the potency of waves. Once we actually experienced the first one and barely survived, we realized that only the four cardinal heroes could counter them. So we followed the legend and summoned you four. But now we have no time to lose!" Aultcray said.

"Nai wa...so much for booking reading today…" Shizue said.

"Okay, I think we get the gist of it. Anyway, I'm sure you didn't bring us here thinking we save you for free." Ren said.

"Grr...I'll punch him later…" Shizue thought.

Then the king's advisor spoke.

"Of course not. Once you repel all the waves, I can assure you we shall reward you most handsomely." the advisor said as Motoyasu smiled.

"Yea. Well, it would seem we have no choice but to take you at your word." Motoyasu said.

"As long you don't renege, we'll work with you. But don't think for a second that you can tame us." Ren said.

"Exactly. We won't put up with you looking down on us." Itsuki said.

"Are these three are out of their minds?!" Shizue thought as his eyebrow twitched.

"If I can trust that we have reached an agreeable arrangement, I would ask you brave heroes to now check your statuses," Aultcray said.

This confused Itsuki and Motoyasu.

"Are you guys dense? It should have been the first thing you noticed when you got here. Wait Shizue your shield it's bigger..." Ren said as he then noticed the Legendary Shield in a form of a Great Shield.

The shield was long taking ⅔ of Shizue's body.

Then everyone noticed and was shocked at the shield's form...

"Hey, how did you?" Motoyasu asked.

"Oh, when I opened up the menu earlier. I wanted a Great Shield and the Shield had a list of basic shields and I saw Great Shield. This feels right for me…" Shizue said.

"Well, all we need is the weapons the forms they already have," Motoyasu said.

"Never mind...Ren continue?" Shizue asked.

"Oh right, lower-right corner of your vision and try to focus your vision on it," Ren said as Motoyasu and Itsuki had a hard time opening up the menu.

"Level ONE?!" Motoyasu screamed in shock.

"Yeah, I was shocked too… but hey mine stats say I have a defense in 150...and my attack is 20 which is strange since I am the Shield Hero…But my other stats aren't nothing to sneeze at." Shizue said.


...

[Shizue Honjou-Tempest] :Stats: Max HP: 125

[Race: Human-Slime Hybrid]

Att: 20

MP: 38

Def: 150

Dex: 1

SP: 32

[Unique Skill: Poison Hydra Eater, Gluttony, Degenerate, Counter, Great Sage, Monster Eater,]

[Ultimate Skill: Storm King Veladora]

[Tranformation skills: Loving Sacrifice, Atrocity, Machine God]


"Only level one. That is concerning…" Itsuki said.

"Yeah, no kidding. Who can tell if we can fight like this…" Motoyasu said.

"Well, we just got into this world if it was maxed out then it wouldn't be fun now is it?" Shizue said playfully but then he got serious.

"But I'm a human-slime hybrid? Were my parents telling the truth? We're they really isekai?" Shizue thought.

"If you're all concerned about your statuses then fear not. After you all part from the castle you all must set out on an adventure to develop and upgrade these legendary weapons you have been equipped with." the advisor said.

"This will be challenging but I think I can do it…" Shizue thought.

"Can't we just wield other weapons until these are usable?" Motoyasu asked as he tried to show off but failed to look cool.

"Come on where's your sense of adventure?" Shizue asked.

"Suppose we'll have to figure that out as we go," Ren said.

"Regardless, we've all got a lot of training ahead of us," Itsuki said.

"Grind our skills, levels, and intel. I supposed." Shizue said.

"Hey, maybe if we team up?" Motoyasu said as Shizue flinched at team-up.

Then he remembered about all his friends disappearing from his life…

"No thanks I work alone…" Shizue said coldly...

"I neglected to mention, you must each recruit allies and adventurers separately." the advisor said.

"Any more things you forgot to mention?" Shizue deadpanned.

"The weapons working together would hinder the weapons' development by nature, making, working, or even training together impossible." the advisor said while ignoring Shizue's question.

"Geeze...hey voice in my head are you getting this?" Shizue asked the voice.

[Notice: Yes, I am everything has already been translated to Japanese…" the voice said as a blue fairy landed on Shizue's head.

"Thanks...what do I call you?" Shizue thought.

[You may call me Great Sage or Manas Ciel.] Ciel said.

"Since the sun is about to set. You four may rest here for the night and your quest begins tomorrow. In the meantime, we shall gather the best of the best to form your parties…" Aultcray said as a maid walk towards the four heroes.

"We have quarters prepared for you all. Please follow me." the woman in the orange dress said.

Then the four followed her…


[Meanwhile somewhere in the castle]

"I heard all four heroes were summoned." guy #1 said.

"All four? Great, the queen will have a field day for this huh." guy #2 said.

"At least the shield hero is here I heard from one of the mages that summoned them…" guy #3 said.

"...He's the most capable and competent to save this country…" guy #3 said.


[Meanwhile with Shizue]

"I guess when you're heroes of legends you get special treatment. And the girl who leads us here is cute too." Motoyasu said.

"But weren't you three were ready to be sent back into your home?" Shizue asked.

"Despite our food tastes strange it was satisfying," Itsuki said.

"Despite this world's "mechanics" we must treat this like our lives depend on it. Because it does…" Shizue said seriously.

"Are ya nuts? Our lives are risked free. Cause you know why?" Motoyasu asked.

"Sigh...Why?" Shizue asked in an uncaring tone.

"Because this world is a video game. Exactly like Emerald Online." Motoyasu said.

"First off, you won't be saying that when your party member dies, and secondly, Emerald Online? Never heard of it." Shizue said.

"Huh? It's huge." Motoyasu said.

"What are you talking about? This isn't some online game. It's a console game called "Dimension Web"." Itsuki said.

"You're both wrong...this is like that VR MMO game "Brave Stars Online"." Ren said as Shizue was wondering about everyone's responses.

"Hey, Ciel? This world is somewhat similar to "Final Frontier" right?" Shizue asked in thought.

[Notice: Yes and No...but it depends on your personal preferences of weapons, skills, and mechanics.] Manas Ciel answered.

"Thanks…" Shizue thought.

"Hey, Shizue you played a game similar to this world right?" Motoyasu asked.

"It's somewhat similar to Final Frontier a VR MMO game that my dad helped to create. Since we mentioned different popular games I have come to a conclusion we all came from alternate Earths. " Shizue said.

"What?" Ren said.

"Impossible," Itsuki said.

"Only one way to find out. Who's on the 1000 Yen Bill? Ready and…" Motoyasu said.

Then every one gave different answers.

Then next was popular anime.

Different answers again…

Then after series of questions with different answers for the 12th time.

"So, I guess Shizue's theory is true," Itsuki said.

"Man, different Earths and parallel worlds. Can things get more confusing? And here I thought we came from different eras." Motoyasu said.

"Well, we're all somewhat prepared for this world in one way or another…" Shizue said.

"Hey wait you said something about a game called "Final Frontier" what is it?" Motoyasu asked.

"Fine...it's a combination of games of my world into one. Where there are different stories to be told...but honestly I haven't played for 6 months…" Shizue said.

"Why's that?" Itsuki asked.

"Because my girlfriend died months ago," Shizue said.

"What?" Ren said in horror.

"And since then...my friends began to disappear one after another…" Shizue said.

"Dude…" Motoyasu said.

"And you know worst of all my girlfriend was 8 months pregnant...both she and my daughter died...and I had to live with it. All the while forgetting her name to ease the pain. I don't care if you think this is a game. If you are willing to risk your future party member's lives then protect them...I'm going to sleep; wake me up in the morning…" Shizue said coldly as he pulled up the blanket.

As Shizue began to dream…


[Meanwhile at a tavern]

"Hey did you hear? All four Cardinal Heroes are here." a guy said.

Then three girls heard the guy.

One was a girl in samurai armor with black hair. The other was a busty blonde in a purple dress holding a magic rifle(How to Not Summon a Demon Lord ?), and dragon queen with green scales, combat armor, and purple hair(Dragon from Monster Girl Encyclopedia).

"All four? Did you hear that Sally?" the blonde asked.

"That means the Shield Hero is here." the dragon girl now named Sally said.

"Be it as it may. This country won't play fair. Elizabeth...Sally let's move…" the samurai girl said.

"Fine Mulan…" the blonde now named Elizabeth said.

As the three paid their tab and left for the castle.


(One Day Later)

[Throne Room]

In the throne room, there are 12 adventurers who are waiting for the Four Heroes.

The doors open up to reveal the four heroes.

"We have gathered the greatest warriors of the land. These brave souls will fight alongside you against the waves." Aultcray said.

As the four heroes walked through the room.

"So, how will this work? Take turns or what? Hmm..." Shizue thought.

Then the red hair adventure looked at him.

"Tch... I don't trust her for some reason…" Shizue thought.

"Our future champions. The time has come to begin your journey." Aultcray said as the adventurers began to walk towards the heroes.

"Crap…" Shizue cursed.

'Sighs...oh well if I'm alone then things won't change…" Shizue thought as he closed his eyes.

[Notice: You won't be alone…" Manas Ciel said.

Then Shizue opened his eyes and turned around.

And saw that he is alone…

"I hate being right…" Shizue said.

"I am loathed to admit but even I was not expecting this," Aultcray said.

"No volunteers? He must have no charisma…" the advisor said.

Then the man besides Aultcray whispered into his ear.

"I see...I was made aware of an unsettling rumor…" Aultcray said.

"Oh boy, here we go…" Shizue thought.

"There is a rumor that quickly spread that the Shield Hero absolutely knows nothing about our world," Aultcray said.

"OH COME ON!" Shizue said with anger.

"Legends tells that the heroes would have some knowledge about our world but the towns' people believe he doesn't meet their standards…" Aultcray said.

"Well, how abo-" Motoyasu tried to ask about donating a party member when the red-haired bitch held out her hand.

"I DON'T NEED CHARITY!... I work alone...I have been alone for the past 6 months no friends to back me up I don't need them now…" Shizue said as he began walking towards the doors.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Itsuki said.

"I'll just devour monsters to gain Exp! Then I'll show you all!" Shizue said.

"But at least take some starting cash," Ren said.

Then Shizue stopped for a moment…

"Sigh...Fine just-" Shizue said as the doors exploded wide open?!

KABOOM!

The room was filled with smoke but a window was opened to let the smoke out.

"COUGH! COUGH! WHO ARE YOU?" Motoyasu asked as he aimed his spear at the enemy.

"We heard that the Shield Hero is here…" Mulan said.

"Why are you looking for him?" Itsuki asked.

"We would like to join his party," Elizabeth said,

"NOW WHERE IS HE?!" Sally demanded.

"Umm, what's your name?" Ren asked.

"It's Sally…" Sally said.

"Right, Sally you're kinda standing on him…" Ren said.

"Huh?" Sally said in confusion as she looks down.

SCREAMED!

"I AM SO SORRY SHIELD HERO!" Sally said as she shakes Shizue.

"Buh…" Shizue groaned.


(Minutes Later)

"I am so sorry that happen!" Sally said.

"It's alright. But why were you three late?" Shizue asked.

"The guards attempted to put us in prison for a bar fight we did a month ago...So we fought…" Mulan said.

"Hmmm...Is there any other who are willing to join his party?" Aultcray said.

"I don't need anymore King…" Shizue said.

"Awe well. So, be it. But the Shield Hero's payment will be higher considering he only recruit three unofficial adventurers." Aultcray said.

"Nice…" Shizue thought.

"800 Silver pieces for the Shield Hero and 600 Silver pieces for the rest." the advisor said.

"Obtain all necessary equipment for your journey," Aultcray said.

"Sir!" the four heroes said.


[Later at the courtyard]

"Later Shizue!" Motoyasu said.

"They said we can't help directly but I would like to wish you good luck," Itsuki said.

"Until next time. So long." Ren said.

Then the Spear, Bow, and Sword Heroes left.

"See ya!" Shizue said.

"Our apologies Shield Hero but we need to introduce ourselves. I am Elizabeth, the dragon girl who stepped on you is called Sally, and the swordswoman is called Mulan. What's your name?" Elizabeth said.

"Shizue Honjou-Tempest, it's nice to meet you three…" Shizue said.

"Well, Shizue let's show you around town!" Sally said as she drags Shizue.

"WOAH!" Shizue said.

Shizue notices many things around town: demihumans, dragon mounts, magic users, and a church.

"Where should we go first?" Shizue asked.

"Mulan's uncle has a weapons shop in the city!" Elizabeth said.

"But I can only use a shield…" Shizue said.

"Right but we need armor and equipment. Follow me…" Mulan said.


(Later)

[Erhard's Shop]

"This shop is one of the best!" Sally said.

Then Mulan opened the door.

"UNCLE! I HAVE RETURN!" Mulan yelled.

"Too loud and also...a real-life weapons shop," Shizue said.

"Hey, Mulan I see you brought your friends here again. Here to test out some weapons or something?" Mulan's Uncle asked.

"No, we are here to actually buy something for once Uncle Erhard," Mulan said.

"I see… but who is this guy?" Erhard asked.

"Why, he's the Shield Hero!" Elizabeth said.

"Really? The dud?" Erhard asked.

"Yep! The dud I am Shizue Honjou-Tempest! I am at your service." Shizue said.

"Well, okay...But I don't care if you're a hero unless you're going to be a regular then let's talk business…" Erhard said.

"I need armor and shields…" Shizue said.

"What no weapons?" Erhard asked.

"I can't use any weapons...this shield won't let me…" Shizue said.

"Hmm...let's see...that shield has a lot of power but my appraisal magic can't tell me anymore. My appraisal magic also tells me you're something called a Human-Slime Hybrid and you have hidden power…" Erhard said.

"Human-Slime...I need to know what am I?" Shizue thought.

"Any way you want to buy some armor?" Erhard asked.


(Later)

Shizue was wearing the black armor Naofumi had until it was stolen.

"Thanks, I guess…" Shizue said.

"Well, Uncle?" Mulan asked.

"Heroes' Discount 120 Silvers," Erhard said.

"And buyback price?" Mulan asked.

"If it's in good condition...100 SIlvers…" Erhard said.

"I am guessing buyback is when you sell the armor you bought from the very person you bought it from," Shizue said.

"Yep! Let's go and kill some monsters!" Sally said.

"I guess that means you'll take it," Erhard said.


(Later)

[At the field]

"Alright time to move," Shizue said as he began his journey.

Just then…

CRACK!

"Huh?" Shizue's party was confused.

Then the ground turned into a sinkhole?!

"AAHHH!" Shizue's party screamed as they fell.


(Literally one Minute Later)

"I know I just saw Shizue around here…" Ren said.


[Back with Shizue]

"Ugh...where am I?" Shizue thought as he opened his eyes...he felt something pressing on his face, felt something bouncy with his hand, and felt his leg was in between something.

Then he heard women's groaning and moaning?

Then he realized something horrible! He was in Elizabeth's breasts, touching Mulan's boobs, and his leg was between Sally's legs.

"Crap! Okay, move slowly…" Shizue thought as the girls woke up.

"KYAHH!" the girls screamed.

SLAP!

SLAP!

SLAP!

And slapped Shizue...


(Later)

There were three handprints on Shizue's face. The four were blushing red.

"Look girls I am sorry what happened...but like I said before...when I woke up it was already liked that," Shizue said.

"It's not that!" the three girls shouted.

"It's just...we wanted it to be our first…" the girls muttered.

"Huh?!" Shizue thought in shock. Shizue then imagined his very own Harem but without his girlfriend.

Then he spotted a huge door.

"Beware for the Starving Venom Fusion Dragon is the uncontrollable power of the Shield Hero Maple's and Demon Lord Rimuru's son." Shizue read as he then opened the doors.

The group entered.

Then the doors closed.

ROARS!

The party's eyes adjusted and see they are face to face with the Starving Venom Fusion Dragon.!


[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: HP 100000] Minus 100 every minute.

[LV. 100] One Level drops every Second.

[Specialty Posion]

ROARS!

The dragon attacks!

Firing off poison breath attacks.

The four dodges them but Shizue was hit.

"SHIZUE!" the girls screamed.

But he was fine?

"What the? I'm okay?" Shizue said as a notice popped up.

[Notice: You are immune to all poisons thanks to Poison Hydra Eater.] Manas Ciel said.

Sally and Mulan began to slash at the dragon with their claws and swords just phasing through.

Elizabeth shot it with her magic rifle.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

But it didn't work.

"Nothing we do is working!" Elizabeth said.

[Notice: I have Analyzed the Enemy,]Manas Ciel said.

"And weakness?" Shizue asked.

[It has none.] Manas Ciel said.

"WHY GIVE ME THAT ANSWER!" Shizue yelled.

[Because you are their son. Do what they would do…] Manas Ciel said.

"What? My parents...wait in New World Online my mom ate the Hydra to gain its abilities so what if…" Shizue thought as he ran at the dragon and began to take a bite out of it.

"SHIZUE?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" the girl shouted.

"I'm beating this thing my way!" Shizue said as he ate the entire thing leaving seven heads, a heart, a skeleton, and a purple stone.

[Notice: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon Level 56. Defeated. Exp divided everyone but Shizue reached level 5. Shizue reached Level 20.] Manas Ciel said.

"Burp! That was good." Shizue said.


[Notice: Your Unique Skill Poison Hydra Eater evolved into the Ulitmate Skill: Starving Venom Fusion Eater]

[Transformation: Dragon Form]


"Sigh...We joined up with the most insane hero huh girls?" Mulan said.

"Forget that! We found a lot of loot!" Sally said as she showed off a golden crown.

"Man I wish we could put this in my shield," Shizue said.

[Notice: You can but before absorbing the monster's corpse and gold you should get your inheritance." Manas Ciel said as her blue fairy form flew off of Shizue's head.

Shizue follows Ciel to a box and when it opened he saw something unbelievable.

He found his mother's armor the Black Rose Armor, her shield Mirror of the Dark Night, and his father's coat before becoming a demon lord.


[Black Rose Armor Skills']

[Absolute Defense]

[Giant Killing]

[Fortress]

[Plus 30 HP]

[Savage]

[Stout Guardian]

[Bond with Hades]

[Destruction Growth]


"Well, shit that is a lot of skill for just armor...and it's mine…" Shizue said.

He changed into his mother's armor and put on his father's coat.

"Hey girls!" Shizue shouted off-screen as the girls turned their heads.

"How do I look?" Shizue asked.

"You look handsome," Elizabeth said.

"Badass!" Sally said.

"Such power I sense…" Mulan said.

"Thanks, I just wish I can just take the shield," Shizue said as he looked at the Mirror of Dark Night.

[Notice: You can absorb the shield and gain all of its powers and leave it as a default shield] Manas Ciel said.

"Really? Absorption huh?" Shizue said as he absorbed the shield.

The Great Shield became the Mirror of Dark Night but the Red Crystal became Green.

[Mirrior of Dark Night Shield Unlock]

[Devour Skill to shield]

[Paralyze Shout Skill to shield]

[Deadly Breath Skill to Shield]

"Nice now for the monster's head," Shizue said as his shield absorbs the head. Granting him more poisonous effects.

[Starving Venom Shield: Randomly inflicts opponents with several random ailments, Max of ailments, is 3.]

"Hey, can someone pass me a gold coin?" Shizue said.

"Here!" Sally said as she passed him a gold coin.

Then he fed his shield with the gold coin.

[Notice: Wallet Shield unlock: endless wallet and doubles the loot found]

"Sweet...Come on girls! Let's go to the Library!" Shizue said as he selected all the treasures in the dungeon and put them in his wallet shield.

"Fine…" The girl said.

Just then a pokemon appeared? It was a Turtwig.

"A Turtwig?" Shizue asked as it crawled to Shizue.

"I'll call you Syrup the 2nd," Shizue said as the snow globe in his bag glowed.


(Later…)

[Exit of the Dungeon]

[Sewer Headcap]

"Finally! We're out!" Sally said.

"Now to the Library," Mulan said.


(Minutes Later)

[Library]

"Oh, hello what can I do for you?" the Librarian asked.

"I am looking for a book called."The Tale of the Shield Hero and the Slime"." Shizue asked as Sally was having a book fight with Elizabeth while Mulan was reading a novel.

"Oh, I know that book it's was written by a close ally to the previous Shield Hero." The Librarian said as she went for the book and came back.

"I believe this is what you're looking for...Also, you may keep it… unfortunately this library has deemed this treasure from the past as the devil's work." the Librarian said.

"Okay…" Shizue said as he left the front desk.


[At the Table]

"Long ago, when the Waves of Catataphires happened. Four Heroes were summoned but one of them...was missing… the Shield Hero was missing from the world. Many have thought that the Shield Hero was summoned somewhere else and they were right...In a cave somewhere else in the world a girl called Maple met a Slime. The two traveled within the cave fighting monsters and gain experience… Then they met the Great Storm Dragon Veldora who gave the Slime a name. Rimuru Tempest…" As Shizue read the adventures of Rimuru and Maple.

(One Hour Later)

"At their wedding, Maple or Kaede Honjou "The Shield Hero" and Rimuru Tempest the "Demon Lord"," Uniter of Monsters" wedded and sired a son...Named Shizue Honjou-Tempest…" Shizue said as he finished the entire book.

"It was them! They saved the world!" Shizue thought as he was tired and slept but his form changed from human to purple slime.

"ZZZZZZZ…" All three girls fell asleep.


(One Day Later)

(In the Morning)

Shizue hears voices in angry tones.

"THE SHIELD HERO RAPED MYNE! WHERE IS HE?!" Motoyasu yelled.

"WE DON'T KNOW! WE WERE IN THE LIBRARY SLEEPING! AND WE ASSUME HE'S THE SLIME!" the girls yelled.

"Slime?" Shizue thought.

"Hey! What's with all the yelling about?!" Shizue shouted.

"EH?! THE SLIME IS TALKING?!" everyone yelled.

"What's going on? Why is my party here?" Shizue asked in his slime form then transformed into human form with Shizue's mask(Orginal Shizue)

"Well, you're here cause Myne here accused you of raping her!" Motoyasu said.

"Yes, it happened in the dead of night. The Shield Hero forced his way into my room at the tavern. He was drunk and pinned me to the wall!" Myne lied(Obviously).

"What?" Shizue said not liking this one bit.

"He said it like this," The night was still young". And then the next thing I knew he began to tear off my clothes! I somehow managed to escaped and met up with Sir Motoyasu." Myne lied.

"What?!" Shizue thought in horror.

"If she hadn't asked to wait for dawn and called the knight I would have to kill you myself," Motoyasu said.

"What are you talking about I never went to no tavern...I was at the library all night! Hell! Even my party members were there! ASK THEM!" Shizue argued.

"WE TRIED BUT THEY WON'T LISTEN!" Mulan yelled.

"To think the Cardinal Shield Hero would commit the greatest sin in this country," Aultcray said.

"Even in Melomarc, sexual assault on a woman is punishable by death." the Advisor said.

"If you weren't a hero you would be executed at once!" Aultcray yelled.

"I guess they still hate my mom for defending Demihumans…" Shizue thought.

"THIS IS A MOCKERY OF JUSTICE! If you think I did it then where's your proof?!"" Shizue yelled.

"Your majesty, we did a search at the library. And umm we found this." A guard said as he revealed purple women's underwear.

Then Myne was scared to see it. And held on to Motoyasu's arm.

"You animal!" Motoyasu said.

"Is this not proof?!" Aultcray said.

"That is false evidence! I was at the Library the whole time!" Shizue yelled.

"What a shame... I was worried something had happened but I thought you knew better," Itsuki said.

"Yeah, he thinks he can do better cause he thinks he can do the hell he wants and get away with it," Ren said.

"I AM BEING FRAMED!" Shizue yelled.

"This world is not some consequence-free playground for you. KNOW YOUR PLACE SCOUNDREL!" Motoyasu said

Then spears were pointed at Shizue's neck.

"Tch…" Shizue said with annoyance.

Then Shizue began thinking…

"Rimuru Tempest led the monster clans and fought human armies. "Maple" Kadae Honjou defended Demi-Humans...this country hates me...conclusion: Melromarc is a human superiority country that hates the Shield Hero and Demi-Humans. Is that right?" Shizue thought.

[Yes it is correct…] Manas Ciel said.

Then Myne gave Shizue a nasty look.

"May I speak now?" Shizue asked as he was covered in a purple aura.

"Shut your mouth criminal!" Motoyasu said.

"SILENCE! I DIDN'T RAPE ANYONE! I know why you all hate me…" Shizue said.

"Refusing to admit he's guilty and making nonsensical accusations?" Ren said.

"I know what you're thinking and your right he doesn't deserve a shred of mercy," Itsuki said.

"I knew it. It was a mistake to summon all four heroes…" person #1 said.

"Exactly they shouldn't have summoned the Shield Demon at all!" person #2 said.

"But who could have known he'd be scum." person #3 said.

"Yeah, yeah laugh it up…" Shizue thought.

"So, they hated my mother that much...these people...no these filthy creatures don't deserve to be called humans… father's stories about otherworld humans were wrong they deserve extinction! Why should I a Slime-Human Hybrid help them out?" Shizue thought.

"What are you going to do to me kill ME!" Shizue asked with a psycho look in his eyes shocking the three heroes.

"What?" Motoyasu said in shock as he saw Shizue's look.

Ren was shocked at Shizue's question but realized that Shizue could have snapped long ago.

Itsuki wondered if Shizue was sane, to begin with.

"If you don't like me...KILL ME AND GET A NEW SHIELD HERO! WHY DID YOU DRAG ME INTO THIS WORLD JUST FOR ME TO SUFFERED AGAIN!" Shizue yelled.

The three heroes flinched at Shizue's words.

"Are you really that cowardly to say death is your escape plan?" Ren asked.

"What a freak. How can you even think to abandon your job?" Itsuki said.

"YOU ALL REFUSED FIRST UNTIL YOU HEARD THE SOUND OF MONEY AND STATUS!" Shizue said.

"I say kill him I mean...we all saw that he wasn't human so who cares what happens to him," Motoyasu said jokingly.

"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" Sally yelled.

"THAT'S ENOUGH SALLY! Well, King Trash? Are you going to kill me? I don't fear death right now..." Shizue said.

"Grr...Believe me, I would like to execute you right here and now. But legends says that no new heroes may be summoned until all four are killed." Aultcray said.

"Huh?/What he say?/That's insane!" Itsuki/Ren/Motoyasu said in shock.

"HAHAHAHA! IN YOUR MOMENT OF GLORY YOU FORGOT THAT ONE RULE! THAT MEANS I AM BASICALLY UNTOUCHABLE!" Shizue said mocking the whole court.

"Tch...you're maybe right but you still need to fight off the waves to get home-" Aultcray said.

"I DON'T CARE IF I GO HOME OR NOT! SEEING YOU HUMANS STRUGGLE WILL BE SATISFYING," Shizue said.

"How can you say that where's your humanity?!" Motoyasu asked.

"As you said earlier: "I say kill him I mean...we all saw that he wasn't human so who cares what happens to him". Those were your exact words…" Shizue said.

"Now, let go of my party, or else THERE WILL BE HELL!" Shizue said as he overpowered the guards and the guards let go of the girls.

"Don't move!" a guard said.

CLASH!

Mulan blocked the guards' swords all of them with two swords in hand and one sword in her mouth.

"Don't you touch him!" Mulan said despite having a sword in her mouth.

"Well, King Trash? Will you let me rot in hell?" Shizue asked.

"There's no time for this the next wave will come in one month. We still need you-" Aultcray said.

"More like the Spear, Sword, and Bow! How about this? I don't really care what kind of rumors you're spreading. I will come out at the top of the world." Shizue said. As he turns around and began walking followed by Sally and Elizabeth.

"DON'T YOU DARE WALK AWAY FROM ME! I AM THE KING AND YOU WILL OBEY ME!" Aultcray yelled.

"You don't control me. I know why you flinched at the name Honjou-Tempest...CAUSE I AM THEIR SON! THE SON OF A DEMON LORD AND A SHIELD HERO! I HAVE BESTED THE STARVING VENOM FUSION DRAGON AND BECAME LEVEL 20 ALREADY! YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE ME?" Shizue asked.

"Wait? Level 20? But's you're still Level 1? YOU'RE LYING!" Motoyasu said.

Then Shizue took off the mask.

And everyone saw how high Shizue's Level was compared to the other heroes.

They were afraid.

"Good...I can finally take my 6 months long stress on the monsters I'll be fighting…" Shizue said as he left the room followed by his party.

But someone in the Shadows was watching the whole time.

Shizue and his party left the castle…

"Tch... see you when the wave comes…" Shizue said.

As his party passed through town people ran away and muttered amongst themselves.

"Hey! Shield Slime! We need to talk," Erhard said as Shizue turned his head.


[Later in an alley way]

"I heard what you did to that girl. If you did I would punch you in the face!" Erhard said as he held Shizue's collar.

"Uncle!" Mulan said.

"Then why didn't you?" Shizue asked.

"Y-you believe me?" Shizue asked.

"Yeah, I want to see if you're alright. And what I can tell Mulan still trusts you...so, you're okay in my book," Erhard said.

"Thanks…" Shizue said as he then returned the armor he got before.

"Here...I have my mother's armor...I want to sell it back...No I am giving it back to you." Shizue said.

"Oh...Will you girls will be alright?" Erhard asked.

"Hell yeah," Sally said.

"We will," Elizabeth said.

"Uncle stop worrying about us...Besides we're with the shield hero…" Mulan said.

"Ugh...Fine but Shizue...If anything happens to Mulan I will kill regardless of you being a hero." Erhard said as he took the armor and gave him 100 Silvers.

"I'll pay you back for the kindness and the trust…" Shizue said.

"Good luck kid…" Erhard said.


[Later at the field]

Balloon Monsters attacks Shizue and his party.

"Ciel...can you give my exp to the girls equally?" Shizue asked.

[No I can not…] Manas Ciel said.

"DIE YOU BALLOONS!" Shizue yelled as he unleashed poison. Follow by slashes, shots fired, and fire breath.


(Hours Later)

[At a Tree while it was Raining]

"Took all night but finally got your levels' to level 6. Now time to sell these balloons," Shizue said as he fed his shield the balloon corpses and gained a new shield.

[Ornage Shield Great]

[Yellow Small Great]


[Later in the Captial]

"Let's see...for these little things? How about 1 copper for every pair sounds?" the merchant asked.

"Hmmm...Sure, that sounds good," the seller said.

"Splendid. Thanks come again," the merchant said as the seller saw who was behind him and it was Shizue. And he ran away in fear.

"Welcome sir, who may I help you?" the merchant asked as Shizue and party came to the stand.

Then Shizue took out the balloons he had killed.

"Oh, balloon monsters? I say from this bundle it's 1 copper for the whole thing," the merchant said.

SHING!

SCHKLIKT-KLIKT

Mulan and Elizabeth aimed their weapons at the merchant.

"Really? I heard you sold that guy more than a single copper," Sally said.

"Why don't you have these instead!" Shizue said as he revealed several of the Orange Balloon monsters on his sides.

"ATTACK BALLOONS!" Shizue said as he used a hidden skill of the Orange Balloon Shield. Balloon Monster Summoner.

Then the Balloon Monsters attacked.

"OH! AGH! OUCH! THE PAIN! STOP! PLEASE!" the merchant said as the balloon monsters jumped off the merchant.

"Here take it the 8 coppers!" the merchant said cowardly.

As Shizue and his party disappeared while taking the coppers. With a note left behind saying: "Tell every merchant if they tried to scammed me I will do worst things…"

Shizue passed by a Medicine Shop.

"We should find some herbs," Shizue thought.


[Erhard's Shop]

"Huh? What's this?" Erhard asked as he picked up a note.

"For all your future troubles. 150 Silvers," Erhard read.

Erhard smiled.

"That kid…" Erhard thought.


[Meanwhile with Shizue…]

Shizue tried to sleep but couldn't because...three cute girls are hugging him!


[One Day Later]

Shizue absorbed the leaf of the plant he found while in the forest.

"Activate! Leaf Shield's Ability!" Shizue said as he uses the ability of the leaf shield despite the appearance of his shield not changed.

"I don't feel any different…" Shizue thought as he then picked up a herb on the ground and the quality increased to maximum.

"Nice…" Shizue thought as Shizue's party was still sleeping.

Hours later he gathered enough to go to the Medicine Shop he saw earlier.


(Night Time)

[Medicine Shop]

Sally, Elizabeth, and Mulan were guarding outside.

"Wow, this is really good stuff. Where did you find these?" The Medicine shop owner said as he inspects the herbs Shizue brought in.

"A forest right outside the castle. Didn't you know?" Shizue said.

"Yeah, but not in this quality … Here… this should cover it…" the Shop Owner said as he gave Shizue 5 silvers and 100 coppers.


[Tavern]

Then Shizue and his party went into the tavern to get some food. Sally and Mulan ate while Elizabeth was getting info.

Shizue took a bite out of his food…

"Tch...nothing...still can't taste anything...even before this damn world...after her death…" Shizue muttered as Mulan and Sally ate.

Just then…

"AAAHHH!" Elizabeth screamed.

Shizue, Sally, and Mulan heard Elizabeth's screams.

"ELIZABETH!" Shizue said as he left the table followed by Sally and Mulan.


[Minutes ago with Elizabeth…]

"Thanks...Phil...even if you can't give me the info you're still my friend okay?" Elizabeth said through her Communication Magic.

Just then…

Three men(the three men that tried to rob Naofumi) jumped her and cast Anti-Magic Barrier…

"What?" Elizabeth said in shock as two of the men were behind her and began to rip off her clothing!

RIPPS!

"NO, GET OFF OF ME! SHIZUE! HELP!" Elizabeth screams.

"Shut it you whore! The Shield Devil will defile you but we will purify you," bandit #1 said.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Shizue yelled.

"Or what?" bandit #2 said.

"Yeah, or else what Shield Devil?" bandit #3 asked mockingly.

"Fine...you asked for this… POISON HYDRA!" Shizue said as three purple hydra heads form and attacks the three.

"AAHHH!" the bandits screamed

[Notice: 3 Souls devoured 3/10,000 collected… 9,997 Souls needed for Demon Lord Evolution] Manas Ciel said.

"Shizue! Thank you! Wah!" Elizabeth cried as she hugged Shizue.

"Come on let's get out of here to Elizabeth's Father's "Shop"," Mulan said.

"Oh...I hate that guy…" Sally groaned.

As Shizue gave Elizbeth a piggyback ride.


(Later)

[Elizabeth's Father's Shop]

"Wait is it this?" Shizue thought.

"HEY! LITTLE MAN WHERE ARE YOU!" Sally shouted.

"Well, well if it isn't my favorite Dragon Queen that means my darling daughter-. ELIZABETH!?" the small man shouted as he ran towards Shizue.

"Let me see her!" the little man said.

"Oh, Elizabeth who did this to you?" the father of Elizabeth asked.

"It was three bandits...I already took care of them…"Shizue said coldly.

"I must thank you for saving my daughter..." the father of Elizabeth said as he puts Elizabeth on a couch in his office.

"I am Beloukas as you can see I am a Demi-Human and Beast-Men Slave Trader!" Beloukas introduced himself.

"And here I thought this country couldn't get any worse…" Shizue said.

"Yes, but it is legal in this country for humans to own anything "Not Human"..." Beloukas said as Shizue heard a cough of a girl.

Shizue walked over to the sound and saw the little girl from his dreams…

She had Tanuki ears and a tail. A young girl looking 10 years old…


To Be Continue...?
