The White Dragon Emperor and the Shield Hero

Chapter 4

Three weeks after Raphtalia was picked by Naofumi.

At the road that y/n, Raphtalia, and Naofumi are walking.

y/n stretches a bit.

y/n: It's been a while ever since you started learning to use a sword, and you are already using it very well Raphtalia, quite impressive!

He smiles at her.

Raphtalia smiles back.

Raphtalia: Thanks, and no need to worry! Ever since you and master Naofumi started training me, I'm each day stronger and more fitting to be the sword for you and him.

He chuckles.

y/n: She grew quite a lot, right Naofumi?

Naofumi gets surprised at being called out but nods.

Naofumi: It's a result of her levelling up, her body grew, but I wasn't expecting her mentality to be of an adult now, thanks for helping out, y/n.

He smiles.

y/n: No need to thank me, I just done what's right, besides, how are yours and Raphtalia's progress?

Naofumi: I'm doing fine, I've unlocked new shields and skills, it got quite useful.

Raphtalia speaks up.

Raphtalia: As for me, my abilities with sword wielding have increases a lot thanks to yours and master Naofumi's guidance. Also, how are you so good at mentoring when you never had a sword?

He chuckles.

y/n: I got a natural adaptation, if you get what I mean, besides, we've been doing just fine now, also, Raphtalia, if you ever meet three people, one with black hair and a sword, one with blonde hair and a spear, one with light green hair and a bow, as well as a red haired woman, stay away from them.

Naofumi: Yes, it's for your own good...

Raphtalia wonders how they got such detailed description then she realises something.

Raphtalia: Are they the three heroes along that princess who framed you?

Naofumi nods with a scowl while y/n clenches his fists.

y/n: Those bastards are way less heroes than anyone, Naofumi is a way better hero than them.

Naofumi smiles at his friend's moral support.

Naofumi: Thanks y/n!

He nods.

y/n: No problems!

He smiles.

Raphtalia: So they are that bad? I seriously agree with the two of you, thanks for informing me, y/n, and master Naofumi.

The two smile.

Naofumi: You're welcome.

y/n: We care about you, that's why we inform you.

She smiles back.

Then a voice echoes in y/n's mind.

Albion: <Sup parter, how are things?>

y/n: 'thought' They are fine partner, levelling up, helping Naofumi and Raphtalia out, and others, anyways, anything new you want to mention?

Albion: <Yes, you see, keep your awareness sharp and active, I sensed the 4 bastards nearby somewhere, I believe you also did?>

y/n: 'thought' Yup, I sensed the four stooges, I'll keep myself sharp and aware, I get the feeling that the spear bastard might try making a move on Raphtalia. If he does so, let's say I'll give him hell!
