Naofumi is the shield hero. Nasty rumors have spread about him and how he mistreats women. But he has only been kind to you. After buying from the slave market he fed you well and trained you. And now, now you're the only one he trusts. He's closed off but deep down it's him against the world.. well him and you. After the king mistreats him yet again he storms out of the palace.

Everyone hates me! I'm worthless, weak! This shield is a curse! I hate it here!

He sobs, you've never seen him show so much emotion
