Best one yet

This was full of surprises and more conspiracy like in the beginning of the series

Dealing with bureaucrats by doing Naofumi's way

I am grateful for the Narrator, Shea Talyor for his continuous works of The Rising of The Shield Hero. I am looking forward to these audio book series every time the latest recording of the book come out thank you for your talent for bring life to the characters this is been enjoyable listen. Thank you for your talent and your time for you giving your voice into these characters.

Just when Naofumi and his party thought everything got right on track when they got Ren and Itsuki. Struck the assassins of Q'ten Lo start attacking and bomb their village because Raphtaila wore Miko attire that proclaiming her royal Lineage of Heavenly Emperor. Naofumi is on warpath against the country of Q'ten Lo especially when they tried to assassinate Raphtalia and hurt his villagers. Sadeena suggest since she used to lived Q'ten Lo they must have boat that sail there but they must go to Silvtert which is something Naofumi dreaded but got no choice but to go. Atla and Fohl used to live Siltvert before they got sold into slavery and their father used to be King of Siltvert before his death. Already from the get go the Demi-human and Therianthropes welcomed Naofumi in the Siltvert it was different feeling when Naofumi first got summoned to this world. Naofumi pondered if he was summoned in Siltvert perhaps he would have probably had different and enjoyable experience of being a hero. That now thing of past now he had no intention of staying here for he on mission defend Wave of Calamity and go home once his mission is done. Naofumi knew these Siltvert nobles and elites are going to be intentionally waste his time even when trying manipulate him politically.

This already put Naofumi in an angry mood when dealing such things in the past like the former Church of Three Heroes, King Trash, and Witch all try to destroy him now with Siltvert. Naofumi had no time to play games in power struggle that gave them the what for.

There was a lot characters moments such as Fohl, Atla, and Sadeena that been the highlight of the story. Villains like Jaralis had been fun to dislike on. Definitely had few laughs when listening to the story and action with this. A recommend to listen this story.

the voice acting is pretty good all things considered.

my only real gripe with the voice acting is filos high pitch voice, other than that its just about perfect
