Gaelion accidentally ate the emperor dragon core in the previous episode. Viewers are excited to find out how Naofumi and others will track down Gaelion in The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 Episode 8.
Filo was getting chased by Ratotille Anthreya when she called for Naofumi to help her out. Ratotille introduced herself to Naofumi and mentioned that she already knew about him.
Ratotille handed him an envelope from the queen. In the letter, it was mentioned that Ratotille was an alchemist who had been exiled from France for causing some kind of trouble.
But since she was talented, the queen wanted Naofumi to make the best use of Ratotille’s talent so she could help his land prosper.
Ratotille mentioned that she was exiled because of useless people who could not understand her research. Naofumi asked Ratotille about her specialty.
Ratotille told him her specialty was monsters, and her job was to change them and make them stronger. But the people back home spread rumors about her job, that she was some kind of devil, and destroyed her laboratory and her research subjects.
But Ratotille was grateful because she found Filo, whom she believed was a mutant filial who could understand human language.
Filo got scared when Ratotille took out her injection and ran for her life. Naofumi asked Ratotille what her goal was. Ratotille mentioned that her only goal was for Filo because she was the queen in the legend.
She explained that normal filolials were also of great help by taking them to place. That’s the kind of monster she was planning to make she even found the monster stable around Naofumi’s place.
Ratotille wanted to see the stable because she was excited to find out what kind of monster Naofumi had managed to raise.
Naofumi decided to give her a chance. Ratotille was surprised after checking the caterpiland because she had never seen it at that level.
Recap
The number of caterpilands had increased by one in Naofumi’s stable. Naofumi and Raphtalia were wondering how that happened.
Wyndia was pushing the caterpiland from the stable and mentioned that there were only two caterpiland, not three.
When Raphtalia took a close look around the caterpiland, she found a bunch of eggs lying down there. Other girls wanted to take care of the caterpiland and requested that they not throw it away.
Naofumi mentioned that they could not raise that many caterpilands Ratotille told him she could raise all of them on her own.
Naofumi suggested that they should do a test to find out who could make the monsters stronger. As they needed a specialty anyway, Naofumi made it clear to Ratotille that he did not like getting lied to.
He mentioned that she had to accept a slave crest from him, and Ratotille agreed to that. She was ready to do anything for her research.
Wyndia told Naofumi Siltvelt that she had sent them something, and when Naofumi and others opened the box, they found a huge egg inside it.
Ratotille told everyone it was a dragon egg, and Wyndia was very excited. Naofumi told Raphtalia Filo he was going to like it.
Ratotille explained to everyone that a more powerful dragon would breed with creatures from any species, which caused problems.
They could easily destroy an ecosystem, but Wyndia told her that was not true because dragons were strong.
Ratotille reminded her that she was talking about the ecosystem and mentioned that she could even make something even more powerful than a dragon.
