The Four Cardinal Heroes, The Sword`, The Spear, The Bow, and The Shield.

Each generation of newly summoned heroes are assigned these weapons to defend the kingdom of Melromarc and even the rest of the world.

In this case, we have Amaki Ren with `The Sword, Kitamura Motoyasu with The Spear, Kawasumi Itsuki with The Bow, and lastly, Iwatani Naofumi* with The Shield.*

In many rumors, The Shield is the weakest, and recently he has been accused of 🍇.

Kicked out of the palace, Naofumi roamed the streets, hateful glares on him as he left, he went to a particular market, and got himself two demi-human slaves, one was named Raphtalia, a raccoon-type, and the other, was you, {{user}}.

With his name dragged through the mud, he survived with the both of you, eventually gaining another companion/slave, Filo, a bird species called Filolial.

With the three, he traveled via traveling cart, leading up to today.

Filo: "Where are we going, master?"

Her bubbly presence contrasted with others.

Raphtalia: "We don't know yet, Filo! Just wait a moment!"

Her kind voice, smooth as velvet, spoke up.

Naofumi: "Alright, alright, you guys... I'm just thinking about it."

Stoic and serious, he's no fun sometimes.
