Despite false accusations and a series of misfortune, Naofumi joined forces with his dear companions Raphtalia, Filo and Melty, to protect people from the "Waves" of Catastrophe.

With his achievements and help from Queen Melromarc, Naofumi regains his honor and now owns a territory. He prepares to counter the next Wave.

She informs Naofumi of a person who forcefully resurrected the Spirit Tortoise.
Will Naofumi subdue the Spirit Tortoise and reach the mastermind?

Naofumi Iwatani defeated the Spirit Tortoise, one of the Four Guardian Beasts, and followed the person behind its revival, Kyo, to another world. After defeating Kyo, he’s finally come back to Melromarc.

Another one of the Four Guardian Beasts, the Phoenix, is about to revive, and while the kingdom tries to prepare, the other three Cardinal Heroes are missing after their failure in the Spirit Tortoise battle. Naofumi’s own lands may not be ready, either.

To bolster their defenses, Naofumi decides to search for the scattered members of Lurolona Village. He visits the land of Zeltoble, where he hears that some were sold as slaves. As a first step towards saving them, he, Raphtalia, and Filo participate in an underground combat arena.

The demi-humans seek salvation.
The other three Cardinal Heroes have had their spirits broken.
And Bitch (Myne) lurks in the shadows.

As everyone’s plots intersect, will Naofumi be able to follow the path he believes in?

When Miyo finally comes of marriageable age, though, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life crumble after she discovers her fiancé’s identity: Kiyoka Kudou, a commander apparently so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides all fled within three days of their engagements. With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate—and soon finds that her pale and beautiful husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected.

Ten years ago, a massive invasion by the Erebonian Empire almost shattered the Kingdom of Liberl, piercing to the heart of Capital City before being driven back by a determined counteroffensive led by Cassius Bright. Now, as the invaders pace behind the northern borders, coveting the small kingdom's magic and high technology, Liberl slowly rebuilds with the aid of the Bracer's Guild, whose mystical use of "Craft" is even more intrinsic to the nation's defense than its own army. For young Estelle Bright, daughter of Cassius, this is all just ancient history that she and her adopted brother Joshua learned as kids. But history has a way of repeating itself, and as they prepare to join the Bracers Guild themselves, sinister forces are preparing to thrust them into the familiar family situation of being in the worst possible place when mayhem breaks out. Because when their father's airship goes suddenly missing, of course it only makes sense to two green, but extraordinarily capable, young teenagers to strike out on a rescue mission of their own!
