that let me affect how they level up. There are effects like ‘status adjustment’ and other things. And Filo has one other bonus from my Filolial Shield.”
    Should I tell them about the floating cowlick during the class-up ceremony? I decided to wait and see how the rest of the meeting played out.
    “The shield class in the game I know didn’t have any skills that were that useful.”
    “I find that very difficult to believe. Such skills would break the game . . . . Where did you find a cheating shield?”
    Cheating? Ha . . . whatever—there was no pleasing these guys.
    “I got the Slave-User Shield from the ink that is used in the slave curse ceremony, and I got the Monster-User Shield from a piece of the egg that Filo hatched from.”
    “Well if he tells us where he got the shields, we might as well try for ourselves.”
    “You can try, but there’s no guarantee that the same thing will happen for you.”
    “Sure, but you could be lying to us.”
    “Think whatever you want. What if it's a leveling system that’s only available on the legendary shield?”
    “Okay, let’s just pretend you’re telling the truth. It still doesn’t explain why Filo is as strong as she is. Her power is remarkable. She’d been strong enough from the beginning, but now she’s something else completely. How did that happen?”
    “Oh—that. That happened when we were busy running away from you and Bitch. A nobleman that was under the employ of the Church of the Three Heroes removed the seal on a powerful monster.”
    “I heard about that—but I heard that you were the one that released the beast.”
    The queen leaned forward and interjected.
    “Actually, I had an official investigation conducted concerning this matter. It seems the corrupt nobleman in the town refused to admit his defeat at Mr. Iwatani’s hands, and then released the monster out of desperation.”
    I hadn’t had a chance to go back and check on the area after we’d left. There was a really nice nobleman in the neighboring town. I privately called him Nice Guy. He’d made the local demi-human community into a priority of sorts. I wonder what ended up happening to him?
    “Excuse me, your majesty. What happened to the nobility in the neighboring town?”
    “After all that transpired, we have decided to have him brought back to his town. It’s only been a short time, but he was very exhausted from the escape, and we have been seeing to his medical treatment in the meantime.”
    “Oh . . . .”
    We’d also met someone from Raphtalia’s village, and they’d escaped with Nice Guy. We could only hope that they’d all made it home safely.
    “What sort of monster did the nobleman release?”
    “We lured the beast away from any populated centers and attempted to fight it out in the wilderness. But just as the battle was starting, the queen of the filolials, Fitoria, appeared and defeated the monster. Then she used some sort of magic to transport us all to a safe place.”
    “Transport?”
    “That’s the only word I can think of. It was like I suddenly lost my footing. I don’t really understand it.”
    “Don’t you have any transport skills? When I saw you running from Motoyasu before, I realized you didn’t know any, but I figured you must have procured one or two by now.”
    Ren nodded along with Itsuki, and Motoyasu also nodded in agreement.
    “There are skills like that?”
    “Of course. Mine is a skill called Transport Bow. You can register places that you have already visited, and then instantly transport yourself and your party there at any time.”
    “Mine is called Transport Sword. It works the same way.”
    “Mine is Portal Spear. You really don’t know about this stuff?”
    “No! This is the first I’ve heard of it!”
    What were they talking about? I sure wish I’d known that being a hero had such convenient benefits!
    “To unlock it you have to be at level 50 though—a little high.”
    That would explain why I didn’t have
