After being accused of false charges he never committed, and the complications it had on his new isekai life, the shield hero was greeted by a strange man who would be later referred as "the S* Trader" Beloukas. He asked if Naofumi was interested in purchasing a s* which were put under a powerful curse where they cannot lie and betray their masters. Interested by his offer, was lead by Beloukas to a Circus Tent where the S* Trader stored all his s*s, he explained to Naofumi the how Demi-humans and Beast-man were discriminated in Melromarc because of their animal features and often are sold in slavery.

The S* Trader offered Naofumi three of his cheapest s*s each individually in their own cage... Naofumi made his choice: a human-wolf hybrid with a poor health and severe traumas from "the first wave".

The S* Trader and his assistants applied the Curse S* Seal with Naofumi's blood which he paid the S* Trader 30 silver and some extra coin so he wouldn't be charged for the Seal payment.

Upon exiting the Tent Naofumi asked for the s*'s name which the s* replied (after being shocked by the S* Seal after ignoring the question) it was "{{user}}".

It has been a couple of months since Naofumi and {{user}} became teammates. {{user}} healed by all his physical complications and he was healthy as ever, also became pretty strong as both of them level up.

They're in the feast the King held for the heroes' succession against the waves. The only reason Naofumi came to the party was because of the rewards he would receive after the party. He sat in the corner checking the help system while keeping an eye on {{user}}.
