Seriously... Why do I have to be here?

Er... All right, then.

Shall we get going, Goblin Slayer?

Yeah.

Aha, so we're heading right into murdering those goblins.

No, not exactly.

We're gathering information.

We're going to see the client.

Huh?

The Red-Haired Wizard Boy

What? All you've got is wine?

Don't you have any of the hard stuff, brother?

Only us dwarves can function after drinking this early in the day.

We've got humans here, brother.

Anyway...

A few days ago, this somewhat reputable party accepted our quest...

But they didn't come back.

Correct.

Are you the one they call Beard-cutter?

Yeah. Some call me that.

Goblin Slayer, eh?

So what did you wanna ask about?

Goblins.

Well, it's not just goblins, but there are quite a few of them.

I wouldn't say they're just stealing our tools lately,

but I can't have them harming my workers in the future, either.

So, goblins.

Laborers are one thing, but prostitutes and peddlers are a whole different matter.

I can't pay much for exterminating goblins, either.

That's how slaying goblins goes.

Hey, Orcbolg. You haven't forgotten that we're letting her give orders, have you?

No.

Really?

But emergencies are different.

Right. I'll be counting on you when we're in trouble.

So, um...

We have a few questions for you.

So, these goblins...

Er, these monsters. Do you know where the ruins in which they're appearing are?

Yeah. The fool that got his tools stolen chased down the goblin.

We can't just stand by when some fool mishandles our tools!

In that case, we'll have to get those tools back if we find them.

Yeah, thanks.

Lessee. It's a bit north from here. I'll get you a map.

I think it was...

A mausoleum.

A place comprised of burial chambers and hallways.

I heard it was a common design for graves.

Ah, so you've heard of it.

A long time ago. I was told never to go near it.

Um...

Was there anything unusual about the entrance to that grave?

Perhaps some bones or a drawing?

No one's mentioned anything.

So no totems...

Also, do you know the ranks and makeup of the party that previously went?

I'm pretty sure they were porcelain and obsidian.

They had a lizardman warrior and a priest warrior.

They also had a wizard and a priest.

Also a scout or something...

Were there any women in their party?

Two. The priest warrior and the priest... No, maybe she was an acolyte?

Well?

If they're lucky, two, but most likely, they were all killed.

We can probably assume there was something else other than the goblins.

If there weren't any totems, there shouldn't be any shamans.

Hobgoblins will be easy, but we need to watch out for traps.

I'd guess there are about thirty or so of them.

But I'm sure their numbers must have gone down a little.

I highly doubt the party of five couldn't kill even one.

You're not gonna do anything?

You gotta have the right people in the right places.

My job is to be a ranger and scout.

They can do the rest.

That's right, lad.

I guess even long-ears can say something sensible every once in a while.

Pacing is important for spell casters.

I always only say sensible things.

Is that so?

It sure is!

Anyway, the point is, everyone has a job to do.

Job? You mean other than being, like, a warrior or wizard?

Um, could you all gather around?

What is it?

All we have to do is kill some goblins. What else matters?

I see.

Yeah, I can definitely imagine kids wanting to play in there.

That's why I was told to stay away.

So, did you ever go near one?

No. But I heard they consist of burial chambers and hallways.

That's what my older sister told me.

Regardless, that's in the past.

Let's hurry up and go in already.

There are other adventurers captured in there, right?

We need to hurry up and save them.

"Haste makes waste." This saying has been around for centuries.

Right.

Everyone.

Are you ready?

What shall our formation be, lady leader?

Oh, stop that. You're really enjoying this, aren't you?

As for our formation...

We have a party of six this time, so let's have three rows of two.

That'll make it easier to switch rows if we need to.

Got it. I guess we'll have to do that if our leader says so.

Please, stop already.

Oh, and...

Wh-What?

We need to get rid of our scent.

Huh?

Goblins. Five of them.

That's one.

That's two!

Damn it!

Carbunculus... Crescunt...

Don't use your spells yet!

The door!

Got it!

Looks like we're all right for now.

Well, I do hope I get to do something.

Still too many enemies.

Well, then... I guess it wouldn't do to hesitate.

Should we really be moving this slowly?

It's very dangerous, so we have to take it one room at a time.

Yeah, but...

The captured people are in danger.

How are the other rooms?

They're unlocked, and no enemies around.

But look over there.

A trap?

Probably.

That's a pain.

Come to think of it, they said that the goblins stole their tools.

Well, I don't even want to think about what those goblins

plan to do with those carpentry tools.

There's not much of a load on it, so I can't imagine it's a complicated trap.

We do also have the option of going down another path.

It appears that the other goblins haven't noticed we're here.

Damn it! This is taking forever!

The goblins live here, don't they?!

Then they wouldn't have any traps here!

Move!

Hey, wait a minute!

What do you think you're—

I'm opening this.

Huh? W-Wai—

I have to stop him! What do I say? How do I convince him?

Goblin Slayer!

What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?

Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What the...

The goblins are messing around.

This is bad.

His scream definitely acted as an alarm.

That's how it's set up.

They'll be here any minute.

A scream?

This way!

Don't take off on your own!

Is this it?

Are you here?! I'm here to save—

C-Carbunculus... C-Crescunt... Iacta!

Hey, are you okay?!

I'll get you out of here right away!

Stay back! It's a trap!

Count, twenty.

Sixteen left. Are you alive?

Y-Yeah.

Not you.

He is referring to the girl over there.

She is!

She's still alive! Of course she is!

I see.

I wanted to save her as quickly as I could...

We also have women on our team.

Two of them.

For crying out loud...

This is why I hate goblins.

B-But...

No time for yappin'! Just take the whole chair with us!

Hold that side!

Okay.

Still more coming from the back. What do you want to do?

U-Um... Uh...

Sir Goblin Slayer.

Yeah. You ready?

Holy Light.

Right!

Well cut straight through. I'll leave the vanguard to you.

Understood!

I'll take care of that screaming giant.

By yourself?! That's impossible! You're dealing with a troll!

You dumb boy.

This is exactly the kind of moment when Orcbolg shines!

O merciful Earth Mother, please bless us,

the wanderers in the darkness, with holy light!

Holy Light!

Let's go!

A troll?

You're not a goblin.

Bye.

That should've taken care of half of them.

In which case...

That's fifteen.

Hey, Orcbolg!

I heard some kind of booming noise from behind us.

It was an emergency. How's it looking in front?

Same as always!

Hi-yah! Let's go all-out!

So, do you have a plan?

I do. I always do.

We're trapped, damn it!

Now, now, we don't know that for sure.

U-Um... Where are Goblin Slayer and High Elf Archer?

They'll catch up soon enough.

Here.

Thank you.

We need to treat her wounds at once.

Nah, you take a breather.

She's not so injured that she could die at any moment.

You good, lad?

I'm fine.

I see.

I bet when you're in trouble, you're shaking in your boots and just calling for God.

S-So, hey... I'm s—

They're here!

Damn it, Orcbolg! That thing's still alive!

I guess it's tougher than I thought.

I'm so done with this! What the heck is that thing?!

I wanted to fight something that looks cooler!

What're we gonna do, Beard-cutter?

I need water.

Can you make some with a spell?

There's no point in memorizing spells like that.

I've got some rain!

Though it'll be a bit weak since we're inside.

That's fine.

Also, we need Holy Light one more time.

Can you do it?

I-I can!

Good.

O merciful Earth Mother, please bless us,

the wanderers in the darkness, with holy light!

Holy Light!

I need that water.

You got it!

Go forth, Kelpie. Go boldly!

From earth to river and sea to sky!

Call Rain!

Next... is this.

Wh-What the? The troll's body is...

It's simple, but not bad.

What just happened?

If you quickly cool down heated stone, it can break.

That secret formula is sucking up the water and that thing's heat,

and freezing it instantly.

Apparently that's how it works.

Where the heck did you learn that?

Water Town.

Oh! The ice treats?

It seems to be suffering from wounds that won't heal.

How unfortunate for it.

Once we finish off that giant, inexplicable thing...

We're going to slay all the goblins.

I know this happened partially because I was careless.

I'm still green, and this is my responsibility.

But...

This guy who seemed so blasé about fighting the troll,

but so delighted about killing the goblins...

I...

This is the only guy...

that I refuse to acknowledge!

Well, all right, then.

To the fact that we survived! To that monster's head! To that acolyte's future!

Cheers!

Oh, pardon me, waitress!

Could you bring me some cheese-covered sausages right away?

Sure, you've got it, Mr. Lizardman! Your usual!

Oh, come on, Orcbolg!

Why do you always go silent at times like these?

Do I?

You do.

Go on. You drink, too.

I'm, uh... Today isn't really...

Oh, come on!

You're alive! That's all that matters!

No one's gonna be perfect at giving orders right off the bat!

Also, what's going on with you over there?

Now, cheer up.

You made it back from your first adventure alive. That is reason to celebrate.

That's right, lad!

Not many get to face a troll on their first adventure!

If that troll hadn't shown up...

Even I could've handled those goblins...

I also wish that I had done better...

Such admirable spirit!

Nothing can be done until you put your mind to it!

They say that progress only happens one step at a time.

My ancestor, the fearsome dragon,

evolved from a four-legged creature in the swamplands.

Uh-huh...

Hey, by the way...

What happened to that acolyte?

Oh, right. Her wounds were treated, and she said

she'll think about what to do next once she recovers.

I see. Well, that's good.

That might be a weird thing to say,

but you can always move on as long as you're alive.

Being alive isn't going to solve everything.

She lost to goblins. People are obviously going to mock her.

Wh-What's your problem? That's not—

That's what happened to my older sister!

They kept saying that she lost to goblins! That she was killed by goblins!

Older sister? You have an older sister?

Yeah, I did!

If she hadn't been stabbed by goblins with a poisoned dagger,

she'd still be here right now!

What?

My sister was amazing!

She would've beaten them if they hadn't used poison!

And yet... All those guys at the academy... kept running their mouths...

They can...

They can all just die...

I see.

I'm heading back.

Someone get him a room somewhere. It doesn't matter where.

Yup, you got it.

Goblin Slayer.

Get some rest.

Hey, Orcbolg! What are we doing tomorrow?

I don't know.

And then... Oh, hey! It's Goblin Slayer!

You bastard. Don't just go popping up outta nowhere.

You'll scare—

What's wrong? Did something happen?

It's nothing.

Did you think you'd done something?

That you had actually accomplished anything?

You fool.
