Summary
Naofumi Iwatani, the Shield Hero, was summoned to Melromarc. Everything looked great... until he overheard his fellow heroes talking about parties sharing experience from kills. He then finds out some stuff from his help guide that Myne hadn't told him about. In going to Myne to ask his questions, he eavesdrops on her conversation with a nun from the Church of the Three Heroes and learns about a plot against him.
Betrayed, not wanting to stay and be arrested for a crime he never committed, he runs away from the Capital. Now a criminal on the run, Naofumi has to do his best to avoid the Church, the King, and his daughter outside the waves. And trust someone who, slave or not, will help him to overcome his own trials and pains past and present; restoring that which he thought he'd lost long ago.
Hope.

Summary
Naofumi survived the Lute Wave and goes back into hiding, however, he doesn't go back the same. With Raphtalia having confessed her love for him and his perspective of the world changed, he is left with a mixture of feelings that only becomes more complicated when the two peddle their wares while raising a transforming Filolial girl as their daughter; all while trying to stay under the Church's radar.
Meanwhile, Ren continues his own thing while preparing to investigate the Church. Itsuki takes Raphtalia's words to heart and begins his own personal campaign to free Melromarc's slaves from their unjust nobility. And Motoyasu, still trusting his party members despite his doubts, becomes the Lord of Lute Village.
However, in going along their respective paths, the other Heroes realize that; this is nothing like their games at all. Actions have consequences.
Prepare for the wake-up call of a lifetime.

Summary
With less than two weeks before the Next Wave, Naofumi considers his options for helping himself, Raphtalia, and their daughter Filo to grow stronger. Unfortunately, Fate slaps him upside the head once again when he's captured by the Spear Hero and the Church forces backing him in a surprise ambush.
Ren and Itsuki's fates remain unknown. As well as the fates of their parties, despite their efforts to try and become better for those around them.
Things are grim for sure, but in a cell underneath Melromarc's castle, Naofumi meets an unexpected ally. With her help, and that of a certain young princess, perhaps they can turn things around and help Naofumi escape and meet up with Raphtalia and Filo again?
Or, maybe a certain group of religious fanatics will use the chaos as a chance to perform a coup? You never know when Naofumi's luck is involved. But at least he's not alone in this. The other Heroes are just as boned as him.

Meanwhile, Naofumi, Itsuki, and Ren have a chance to meet with Fitoria, the legendary Queen of the Filolials. They are still recovering from infiltrating Idol Rabier's city, fleeing the Church Army with the dead noble's slaves, and taking down the Tyrant Dragon Rex by themselves. Not to mention, the revelations they receive on the properties of the Cursed and Blessed Series alike. And yet with only a week till the next Wave, they must go back to the Capital, convince Motoyasu of Bitch's treachery, take on the Pope before he executes the former King and those loyal to the crown, all before dealing with Siltvelt's invasion.
Oh, did I mention that Siltvelt's army has invaded as well? The Heroes are going to have to deal with that too. Amongst a few other issues between themselves and their friends.
They just can't catch a break, can they?

Things are going well. Naofumi and Raphtalia grow more intimate in their relationship with each other. Ren and Wyndia go on their first mutual date together.

Summary
The Spirit Tortoise is dead, but things are far from ok. Motoyasu is still missing and Ren was kidnapped shortly after unlocking his Cursed Series. Naofumi and Itsuki are running themselves and their parties ragged trying to find out where they were taken while simultaneously having to deal with the remaining fallout from before.
As for Ren's party... Farrie is not taking the death of Bakta well. Tersia is trying to hold things together. And Wyndia is stubbornly trying to find Ren while refusing help from anyone else. Wishing she could be for Ren what Raphtalia and Rishia were to their Heroes, yet fearing she'll never be good enough to help him once he is found.
It is a rough time indeed, but not all hope is lost. Fitoria is there to assist the Heroes as well, wanting to make up for before. And soon, an unknown individual, claiming to be a servant of the Spirit Tortoise, will aid the Heroes in their efforts against the one who awakened her originally. The one who desires the Soul Power of their world for an unknown purpose.
And with the help of some Otherworlders, not only might they have a chance to succeed. But a lonely dog girl might finally be able to learn that she is enough to help her Hero.

Summary
Naofumi and Itsuki arrive in the Otherworld with their friends to pursue Kyo... and things go wrong almost immediately. As per usual.
Raphtalia and Dou-Lon find themselves trapped in a prison with Glass, L'Arc, and Therese. Itsuki, Maya, and Aksel are stuck in some strange library with books that do not like people at all. Filo is lost somewhere. And Naofumi and Rishia are trapped in some inescapable dimension Labyrinth with a lolibaba that hasn't seen other people in years. Oh, and this lolibaba is also the missing Hunting Tools Hero of Glass's world.
Coincidences aside, these groups are not only going to have to escape captivity. They'll also have to beat countries who are determined to make things in their world as trashy as possible for Naofumi and his friends.
Speaking of Trash, Kyo is taking a backseat in this arc to recover from losing an arm to the Sword Hero's blessed sword. Meaning we get to meet a different antagonist. One who is definitely no where near as threatening as Kyo, yet who is somehow responsible for most of the crap L'Arc and his world have gone through the last couple of years.
Aultcray, step aside. Someone worthy of your old nickname has finally taken your place.

Summary
While events are going down in the Otherworld, we get a look into the lives of everyone who has stayed behind at Lurolona Village.
From Moto's hellish training with Granny, Ren's first attempts to learn blacksmithing, and Melty coming to terms with recent events. There is something for all of our characters here, be it good or bad.
Not much might be going on now. But there is no doubt that Motoyasu and Ren's time in their world will remain uneventful in the future. Especially as Motoyasu receives a concerning letter requesting the Heroes' aid inside the Gladiator Arenas of Zeltoble.
Naofumi and Itsuki still have a lot to take care of during their time in Glass's world. But there is no doubt that events will need to be covered later in their world, and Motoyasu will be at the head of it all when that happens.

Summary
The Final Showdown nears.
Naofumi and his allies are almost back to full strength while training for the final battle, and Kizuna goes with Itsuki and Glass to the Gem Country of Lapis to gather allies for their cause.
All the puzzle pieces are almost in place. And yet, not everything is as it seems.
As she sees the world she saved years ago as it is now, Kizuna will learn why things changed during her imprisonment. Why every country was currently at each other's throats during the Waves. And why Kyo Ethnina went from being her good friend who helped out so much against the Demon Dragon to the villain he is now. And the reason for why...
As Fitoria said to him long ago, Naofumi will have to learn to be Diligent to protect the people of both worlds. But he will do so not only to protect the friends and loved ones he has come to cherish, but so that everyone connected to them can live a life where they are able to smile and laugh with those they love.
No matter how much they might think they don't deserve it.

Summary
While Naofumi and co were busy in the Otherworld dealing with Kyo and the aftermath, Motoyasu wasn't staying idle.
Receiving a letter asking for the Heroes' help, the Spear Hero travels to Zeltoble to find who wrote the mysterious letter, and, should things work out, help her figure out a way to smuggle the remaining Lurolona kids forced into slavery long ago back to their homes, without them being killed off by the corrupt officials in charge of the Arena.
Meanwhile, the Hero's village gets shaken up by new arrivals. Some want to help the Heroes out, while others have less than good intentions. Though, under Melty's leadership and her hard work, she should be able to manage things just fine. Allowing the Sword Hero to continue to focus on his recovery with the help of his friends and his loyal girlfriend. As well as a new addition that could help him come to terms with Gaelion's death.
There is much to do before Naofumi and co return from the Otherworld. But, hopefully, they should find that their nation is not only standing but has become stronger and more self-reliant than ever before upon their return. Things are definitely getting interesting from here on out.

Summary
Naofumi and his family return to their world... and get thrust back into the action.
Much has changed in their absence. They have changed a lot since going to the Otherworld. But the changes will be welcome, and in many cases, rewarding, especially as Naofumi prepares to propose to his wife friend, Raphtalia.
As for the other Heroes... Motoyasu continues to go above and beyond his original fate. Helping out where he's needed while bonding with his new friends... and possibly girlfriend.
Ren gets his much-needed break from the town with Naofumi's return. His friends and loyal girlfriend continuing their best efforts to help his mental and emotional health.
And Itsuki... his path remains unclear. Cut off from all his former friends and family, all we can hope is that his journey of self-reflection returns him home, and doesn't leave him worse off than before.
For once, there isn't too much excitement in the lives of the Heroes. Which will hopefully mean that the four months they have to prepare for the Phoenix won't be interrupted by anything serious...

Summary
Naofumi and Motoyasu have been called to action a month after his return thanks to crap hitting the fan in the world.
First, there was the fox monster in control of Siltvelt. Then, there was growing civil unrest in Faubley. And now, after proposing marriage to Raphtalia, a new nation wants the two dead. And the power couple is all too happy to return the favor.
Not counting the various obstacles that'd get in the way of that, there is also the matter with Itsuki, who is being targeted by an enforcer who specializes in trauma and mental warfare, as well as Ren, who continues to drift aimlessly during his stay in Cal Mira. Lacking a purpose to drive him forward, the remnants of his curse refuse to let go of his mind.
And Motoyasu somehow has the worst luck of them all, as two former 'friends' from his past life meet up with him in a bloody reunion he never wanted.
Between the threats coming from without and the enemies they're dealing with from within, our Heroes will all have to work hard with the help of their friends and significant others to overcome their challenges and face down their greatest trials yet. The end will not come before more blood is sacrificed for the sake of their future.
