The Hunting Hero

The Hunting Hero (狩猟具の勇者) is the sixty-fourth chapter of The Rising of the Shield Hero manga adaptation.

Synopsis
Kizuna, a hero of an enemy world, has just saved Naofumi and Rishia. It looks like she has been stuck in this world for a while and is unaware of the recent actions on the outside. Can Naofumi trust her? The heroes must work together to find a way out of this Infinite Labyrinth.

Summary
Kizuna, who has saved Naofumi and Rishia twice now, has revealed herself to be the Legendary Hunting Hero of another world. Due to recent attacks by heroes of Glass' World, Naofumi is immediately distrustful of this new hero. He won't give a greeting or his name.

Kizuna strikes Rishia with her Holy Weapon. Surprisingly, there is no damage. Kizuna explains that her holy weapon cannot damage humans - therefore, she is safe to work with. She then provides food and a place to eat. Before eating, Naofumi tells Rishia to discard her Filo Plush outfit since it was buggy and useless. Naofumi cooks for the group while they go into discussion.

Kizuna explains that she had been imprisoned in the Infinite Labyrinth years ago, before the Waves of Calamity. Therefore, she is unaware of all that has happened in the outside worlds. During that time, she has explored the extent of the Infinite Labyrinth. Despite reaching despair, she has not given up going back to her world. Naofumi is moved by Kizuna and decides to trust her. He reveals that he is the Shield Hero and updates Kizuna on recent events including the attacks from her world. Kizuna is excited to hear about Glass and is re-motivated to escape the Labyrinth. She gives Naofumi and Rishia equipment to replace their old buggy armor and teleports them all to a puzzle room.

Leading Naofumi and Rishia down a hallway, Kizuna explains that monsters occasionally escape from the labyrinth. In the middle of a hallway, Naofumi receives a notice that he is unable to travel to another world despite there being no clear exit. Kizuna explains that the Infinite Labyrinth is an artificial world where spatial ran out of control. She theorizes that multiple spaces are being stitched together and the spatial 'stitching' may be vulnerable.
