Prologue

The Search

Filo pulled our carriage across a ravaged land as I looked for the

other heroes. How long had I been searching for them?

“Ren! Itsuki! Motoyasu! Time to face reality, guys! Come on out!”

“Mr. Naofumi, can’t you try to sound a little nicer?”

“I can’t help it. We’ve been at this for days.”

In order to explain why we were frantically searching for the other

heroes, I’ll have to go back a bit and start from the beginning.

My name is Naofumi Iwatani. I’m 20 years old.

Back in modern Japan, I was a college student with otaku

tendencies.

I was bored one day, so I went to the neighborhood library and

started reading a book called

The Records of the Four Holy Weapons.

Before I knew what was happening, I found myself summoned to

another world.

The book had been going on about the deeds of four heroes, and I

had been summoned to serve as one of them: the Shield Hero.

The new world was under the threat of a horrible destructive force

called “the waves,” and it was my job to help defend the world against

the existential threat it faced.

At first I was thrilled. The world was like a dream. And I had been

summoned to save it! But things didn’t go quite so smoothly—I was

falsely accused of rape, arrested, and thrown out into the streets,

penniless and alone. To make matters worse, the Shield Hero wasn’t

capable of actually dealing any damage to enemies. The tradeoff,

however, granted me incredible defensive capabilities.
