Naofumi urgently travels to Siltvelt to reach a ship to Q'ten Lo from there. The reason is assassins from Raphtalia's homeland Q'ten Lo who want to kill her due to her resemblance to the emperor. On the way, Melty and Filo unexpectedly meet him; they were sent by the Holy Beast Fitoria, who granted them greatly improved stats through level reduction and delivered an unexplained mission for Naofumi. He initially declines it.
After a brief stop in his own territory, where no further attacks are reported and Motoyasu independently fights off intruders, Naofumi assembles his team for the journey: Raphtalia, Filo, Sadeena, Fohl, and Atla. Ren and Itsuki stay behind due to incompletely healed curses.
Upon arriving in Siltvelt, Naofumi is euphorically welcomed as the revered "Shield Hero." The representative Werner, leader of a ruling faction, practically forces him to attend a banquet and denies a quick departure. He argues that Naofumi's immediate onward journey would despair the people and potentially trigger unrest. Naofumi's freedom of movement is severely restricted.
The outsider Jaralis, representative of the Laio race, secretly offers Naofumi to quickly procure a ship. Naofumi now faces a dilemma: Should he follow Werner's time-consuming protocol or accept the suspiciously simple offer of the outsider? Time pressure exists due to the impending awakening of the Phoenix and the threat to Raphtalia.
