Full Summary
In Zeltoble Naofumi purchased some lumos slaves who came from the same village as Imiya. He was then offered some "special slaves", the hakuko Fohl and the blind Atla, who was severely wounded and covered with bandages, from the slave dealers and started to heal Atla with the Sacred Tree Elixir, saying that they would have to work for him to pay back the medicine.

Back at the village the Atla's skin started to heal back. She then asked if she could fight with Naofumi too. Naofumi proposed that if they wanted to get stronger they should reset their level. After they agreed Naofumi went back to his residence to compound medicine. After several moments Atla came in saying she wanted to talk with him. After talking a bit about Naofumi protecting the villagers Atla asked who would protect him. While Raphtalia acted as his sword, Atla wanted to be his shield.

The next morning when Naofumi distributed breakfast an unknown girl was standing in the line. Her speech was static and they couldn't understand her completely but he revealed herself as the Murder Pierrot they fought against in the coliseum and a holder of a vassal weapon. She wanted to warn them about the invading vassal weapon wielders and offered them her help, but Naofumi declined her saying he couldn't just trust her.

After arriving at the castle to reset their level they met Trash, who started shouting that the Shield Hero infiltrated the castle with the hakuho. But after he saw Atla he stopped and turned around. The queen then started to explain that Thash's sister Lucia was attacked by a hakuko explaining his hate. She was presumed dead but she probably was taken back to Siltvelt, which would explain why Atla looked like Lucia. The queen then reported that a companion of the Spear Hero Elena was located saying that she could be used as bait to lure him out.

After the level reset of Sadeena, Fohl and Atla, Naofumi ordered them to level up while he, Raphtalia and Filo would go to find Matoyasu. At Elena's location they found Motoyasu who got got into an argument with Elena. Naofumi failed to capture Motoyasu who escaped using his Portal Spear. Elena then told them what happened when they fought the Spirit Tortoise.

On their way back they met Ren who captured some bandits and tried to turn them in. Using Ren's bad reputation they tried to play the victim. But upon seeing Naofumi who they met before they instantly surrendered themselves. Ren then told Naofumi about what happened to him. According to the game that Ren was familiar with, defeating the Spirit Tortoise at level 80 should have been a breeze. But the skills failed to inflict any significant amount of damage and in the end his team members died.

While listening to his story Naofumi saw Motoyasu who tailed someone. After following him through the streets Naofumi found Bitch talking with Ren. She tried to jump from Motoyasu to Ren. Using his weakness she convinced him and they escaped using his Transport Sword.

Motoyasu was so heartbroken upon learning Bitch's true personality that even he wouldn't flirt with women anymore. Filo tried to cheer him up which awakened a new site of Motoyasu. He cracked and discovered a new Filo fetish. He now saw every women except Filo as a pig. Naofumi and his party then escaped using his portal shield.

After giving an update on Witch at the castle they headed back to the village. They met Keel who was in his new therianthrope form. Naofumi decided to let the slaves do a class up so he took them to the dragon hourglass. After the class up he took Imiya's uncle who did some blacksmithing before to the weapon shop. It turns out that Imiya's uncle and the weapon shop owner were both apprentices of the same master and there was no problem taking him as a apprentice.
