The Rising of the Yokai and Shield Heroes

The Fox Rage and The Slave Girls

"Who are you calling a thief," said Motoyasu. "Myne gave this armor to me as a special gift when I met her at the pub yesterday."

"That may be true, but that armor is Indeed Naofumi's armor, we were there when he brought it," said Fumiko.

"You can even ask the owner of the shop," said Kendrick.

"We don't need to eyewitnesses at the inn told us the shield sold all his equipment to get more drinks," said Aultcray. "To think the cardinal shield heroes would commit the greatest sin the country."

"Sin?" said Naofumi.

"What are you talking about," asked Regan.

"In Melromarc, even attempted sexual assault on a woman is punishable by death," said the king's adviser.

"What!" exclaimed Naofumi.

"If you weren't a hero, you'd be executed at once!" yelled Aultcray.

Naofumi was shocked by that while Simon was not and is getting angrier every second.

"Okay, this is ridiculous Naofumi is the one who's been wronged here, he told you his been robbed and you not even listen, and as Felicia said I didn't rape her. And if he did assault her then is there any proof," asked Simon.

The king order two of the knights to step up.

"When we performed a search of the shield heroe's rooms, we, um... We round this, sir, strewn across his bed and we found this in the other shield hero's room," said the knight.

The knights present ripped lingerie and bed sheets with white stains and small blood stains on it. Simon was really now angry that they took the bed sheets from his room to try and use as evidence against him, when Felicia clearly told them he didn't assault her, he looks up at the nobles seeing some of them were questioning the trial while a lot them didn't, he notice that many of the ones that didn't wear necklaces of the three heroes' church. He notices the cute noble woman from yesterday, she looked at him not in fear or angry but worry and sadness. Simon then looked to Felicia who is blushing in embarrassment that evidence of her and Simon's first time together was being displayed for everyone to see, Simon did not like that one bit.

Myne scream covered her face and hide behind Motoyasu.

"You animals," said Motoyasu shielding Myne.

"The proof seems rather undeniable," said Aultcray.

"How so, that thing wasn't there when I woke up!" said Naofumi.

"And like Felicia said she consented, we never said we didn't sleep together, that gives you no right to display are intimate moment like that," said Simon trying to calm himself.

"It's obvious she would, since you're using her love for you to avoid judgment," said Aultcray.

As Simon expected the king didn't listen and the other heroes didn't either.

"What a terrible shame, I worried something bad might happen, but hopped you both knew better," said Itsuki.

"Guess they thinks a hero can do whatever the hell they want and get away with it," said Ren.

Once again Simon was right about the three take the king and Myne's side blindly.

"That's not even the least bit true, I swear!" exclaimed Naofumi.

"This world is not some consequence-free playground for you two. Know your place, scoundrels!" said Motoyasu pointing his spear at them.

Simon couldn't believe the nerve of these three, acting like there better than them when these three demanded a reward to fight the waves when they got here. Simon doesn't care what these people think of him, but this time he's not going to let three idiots think they better then him and Naofumi, he's not going to let this foolish king slander his friend's name, and he is not going to let some red-haired bitch, get away with framing his friend and exposing a private moment with him and Felicia.
