Humming Fairy (chapter)

Humming Fairy (ハミングフェーリー) is the seventy-second chapter of The Rising of the Shield Hero manga adaptation.

Synopsis
Filo has finally been freed from her terrible captors. Now, Naofumi and his group must escape the town before they get caught.

Summary
As Naofumi's Nue Shield terrifies the nobleman's son and his companion, they fall onto the ground in mental agony. At Kizuna's demands, he reveals that he is bringing out the fears of everyone hostile to him but it seems that Raph-chan is casting illusions to magnify the effect of the Nue Shield.

Trying to appeal for mercy, the nobleman's son shakily tries to pass the blame to his father. However, Naofumi takes none of the excuses and makes it horribly clear that everyone, even the whole town, is responsible for Filo's mistreatment. With an evil look, he then takes the moment to enjoy his enemy's pain.

With the nobleman's son and his companions collapsed, Naofumi suddenly feels much better now that he had released his anger. Although uncertain about the methods, Kizuna also mentions that she feels better. Realizing that the compound they are in is getting surrounded by the ruckus, Naofumi uses his portal shield to teleport them to where Ethnobalt had dropped them off.

Naofumi comforts Filo while the Kizuna and Rishia catch fish. After eating plenty, Filo has seemed to have recovered and they discuss Filo's new form. It seems that in this world, Filo has become a flying monster called a Humming Fairy instead of a Filolial. As a result, she has the ability to fly in this world. The next day they continue their journey to find Raphtalia and Glass. At the guild hall they find wanted posters for themselves but the portraits are so bad that they aren't very concerned about getting recognized. They also note that their companions still have not been caught and that there is a Vassal Katana selection process nearby. Following Raph-chan and Chris, they head towards the central city which they find blocked off. Worrying that someone evil had selected the Vassal Katana inside, Naofumi and his group decide to sneak inside the walled city.
