As a resident of the Shield Spirit’s world, I, Atla, am watching over Naofumi-sama wherever he goes!
Naofumi-sama, who went to save one of the Four Holy Heroes of another world, fell into the enemy’s despicable trap and had his shield blown away!
After that, as if having waited for that exact timing, a woman who had buttered up to Takt appeared.
“That person, she has appeared once again. She’s quite elusive to be able to show up across worlds.”
“Yes. It looks like she has a wide network of connections backing her as well.”
The person who agreed with me was Ost-san, who came to reside in the Shield Spirit’s world before me.
“Still… It is something that I’ve always thought about, but those who are rotten to the core gather together in vain, only to come up with stupid tricks.”
“Indeed… but are we in a situation where we can say such a thing? The shield has already fallen out of the Great Shield Hero’s hands, you know?”
“Right! We have to do our best here! Shield Spirit, show your guts!” I grabbed the Shield Spirit that’s floating in the air and shook it with all my strength, sending out as much Ki as I could to Naofumi-sama!
Please, my power! Reach Naofumi-sama! I’ll make sure to stop that dumb guillotine blade from falling onto him!
“Atla-san! Don’t make unreasonable demands to the Great Shield Spirit! It’s already doing its best!”
“It can only say it did its best after successfully protecting Naofumi-sama! No, just doing its best isn’t enough! It has to do it like its life depends on it!”
As the back and forth exchange happened between Ost-san, the Shield Spirit, and me, the Mirror Spirit lent its power to Naofumi-sama.
And with a soft glow, the Mirror Spirit appears before us.
”Well done, Mirror Spirit! As expected, you haven’t been staying close to Naofumi-sama for nothing after all!”
“Umm, Atla-san. Even though it’s from another world, you’re still talking to the spirit of a Vassal Weapon. Please pay some more respect…”
“I won’t forgive you if you’re useless at a time like this! All spirits should obey Naofumi-sama!”
“Those are some crazy things you’re saying there. Though… For the Mirror Spirit and Book Spirit to be fighting over him, it would seem that the Great Shield Hero is favored by the spirits. It goes to show his capacity for benevolence.”
“Fufufu… Then let’s say that the mirror belongs to my faction, and the book belongs to Raphtalia-san’s faction.”
”I doubt the wisdom of your assertion, treating the winner as part of your side.”
Ost-san is making a fuss about something, but I don’t care!
“Ah, the Great Shield Hero started strengthening the mirror that is based on the shield I unlocked.”
Right. Come to think of it, the shield that Naofumi-sama frequently uses was made using materials from Ost-san’s main body. In my case, the Shield of Compassion empowers all shields, but it’s still frustrating for me regardless.
While I was thinking about that… Naofumi-sama applied various power-up methods. Among them, he also used something that was from a monster called White Tiger Clone.
“Th-this is… he’s thinking of me! This is the best…!”
“Ah, Atla-san was so moved that she collapsed!?”
“Naofumi-sama… I will always admire you wherever you are…”
“… She looks as if she is in a state of pure bliss… let’s not wake her up. The Great Shield Hero will surely win.”
All we can do is believe and watch over him!
