When Zodia asks Naofumi to marry him | The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4
On their way to the old capital, Nofumi and the group face barely any difficulties as many towns are suffering because of the current government. And when they see Felo, who looks similar to Divine Bird Folio Queen and Rafalia, they end up accepting them. They decide to stay at a town near the old capital for a parade. However, Rafalia still has her worries. Later, Ruva reports to Nofumi that the regent Makina has ordered her soldiers to gather in the old capital to interrupt Rafalia from completing the ritual. Hearing this, Nofumi decides to go out to check on the workshop. Atla worries about him and insists on going with him, but he refuses. When Fo also insists that he take her, Nofumi warns Fo that he shouldn’t spoil Atla. In the end, Sini ends up tagging along with Nofumi. On their way, Nofumi bumps into a seemingly airhead girl who looks similar to Sadena. The girl then asks for directions and leaves. Later, however, Nofumi once again encounters her at the workshop. The girl reveals she is called Zodia. Muramasa spares no effort to hit on her and convince her to go to a drinking party with Nofumi going with them. There they drink a lot and play games with Muramasa losing to Nofumi in every aspect. After their party is over, Zodia gives Nofumi her signed card and says she wants to marry him, but gets an instant refusal. The next day, Rafalia gives away free food to the town’s people to increase her appeal and also does a parade. Zodia is revealed to be secretly watching it. Coincidentally, she encounters Nofumi in the public bath house and reveals that the current heavenly emperor is also good, but she has never seen the town’s people so happy. She also hints to Nofumi that her job makes people sad even though she wants them to be happy. Later, Nofumi talks with Sadena and learns that her lineage is always chosen to be the priestess of the water dragon. Despite the title, the job is to kill the criminals who are people the heavenly emperor finds bothersome. Later, Rafilia orders the soldiers as they get ready to fight with the soldiers of Regent McKina. However, suddenly news arrives that the enemy has ambushed the rear end of the town. When Nofumi sends a group over there, another letter comes from the priestess of the water dragon that says she wants to settle things by fighting their commander in a one-on-one fight. Nofumi realizes the signs match with Zodia’s signed card.
