Briefly about the events of previous seasons

Naofumi Iwatani was summoned to a parallel world of sword and sorcery, where he received legendary equipment and became the hero of the Shield. Besides him, three more guys were transported to this reality: Sword Hero Ren Amaki, Spear Hero Motoyasu Kitamura and Bow Hero Itsuki Kawasumi. Naofumi's problems began at the start, when none of his companions wanted to him, and the only assistant, who at first glance showed care and understanding, framed him and accused him of rape.

Faced with the hostility of those around him, Iwatani withdrew into himself, but found faithful comrades, the first of whom were Raphtalia and Filo. After the end of the second season, when the protagonist and his team dealt with the Spirit of the Turtle, it was time to prepare for the next test: the awakening of the Phoenix. At the same time, in light of recent events, the remaining three Heroes disappear.

Naofumi, Filo and Raphtalia decide to take part in battles in the underground arena in order to earn the required amount and ransom the beast-slaves from Lurolona. The goals of the heroes coincide with the task of one of the tournament participants, Sadina, who turned out to be an old acquaintance of Raphtalia. By ing forces, they achieve victory, and Naofumi frees the slaves. Among them are Phol and his blind sister Atla, who is healed by Iwatani. Along the way, in Act 3, a kind of rebirth occurs for Ren and Motoyasu, who re-evaluate themselves and grow as individuals, itting many past mistakes, but Itsuki, unlike his colleagues, follows a not entirely correct path.

The protagonist and his comrades will go to K'ten Lo, whose ruler has repeatedly made attempts on Raphtalia's life.
