Sword Prince, to those who see what should be seen and speak what should be spoken,

Grant your protection!

Everyone, please heal!

First, we need to silence our enemy's spells.

Right!

We need to work together.

Yes, please!

My god, the roaming wind. Let all we say on the road stay secret among us.

Let there be the light of silence.

Silence!

Too slow!

I have no idea what you're saying!

It's trying to summon more allies!

We'll exterminate them all anyway. Perhaps we should wait until more show up.

Please do this with me.

Right.

Ventus!

Lumen!

Libero!

Yeah, that's about what you'd expect from greater demons.

Once There Was Youth, Now There Is Nothing but Ash

How far have we come?

Oh, right.

Two vertically and two to the side...

We should be in the middle of the ninth floor now.

Thanks.

But truly...

Thank goodness we haven't run into any goblins.

Well, that sucked.

Maybe I'll buy some steel arrows, too.

What happened to your pride as an elf?!

Just shut up and shoot! Shoot and distract it!

You shut up and do something!

I'm thinking, damn it!

O merciful Earth Mother,

please protect us, the weak, with the powers of the earth.

Now!

Indeed!

River-Walker Mosasaurus, see my deeds!

At this rate, it's gonna eventually sink!

Are you a goblin?

No!

We were informed that a fishery was being attacked by sea goblins.

Sea goblins?! At least call us Homo Piscesians.

We're descendants of the great octopus god that cometh down from the sea of stars!

We would never attack fisheries.

Then do you know why there have been less fish lately?

If it's within our power, I believe we can help clear your names.

The reason is... the sea serpent.

Sea serpent?

Don't those exist further out to sea?

Well, it seems they've been sent over here by someone.

Isn't it awful? The stars have been a mess because of it.

So... no goblins are involved?

Should we go home?

Then I guess we can just go ourselves.

We can't just ignore those who are in trouble.

Right. Though this seems dangerous with no one on our front line.

What do you think?

There isn't much time.

What was this thing called again?

A sea serpent.

So is it a fish or a snake?

I don't see any traces of venom in its bite marks.

Perhaps it is a fish.

Then we should just do with spells what we can't do with weapons.

Once that thing comes out, let loose the spear!

Yes, understood.

Curse you!

O merciful Earth Mother, please bless us,

the wanderers in the darkness, with holy light!

Go!

You got it!

Dance, dance, nymphs and sylphs!

Make sure not to fall in between the shore and sea!

Yeesh...

After having the Water Walk spell cast on them, fish will suffocate.

If it comes this way, shoot it with your arrows. In the eyes.

Yeah, yeah.

What?

Nothing.

I was just thinking it'd be nice if goblins also went down this easily.

So... what happened with the quest to exterminate the sea goblins?

They weren't goblins.

Apparently, it was just easier to call them that.

They weren't goblins.

Er... So about the quest...

They weren't goblins.

So it's canceled. Got it.

Well, they weren't goblins.

So the issue with the sea goblins...

Er, pardon. The issue with the gillmen remains unresolved.

Yeah, well, we ended up exterminating some other creature.

Oh, then can you give me the details on this creature?

It was long.

What?

It was a fish.

Yes... Of course.

We'll now divide up our reward.

Take whatever you want. We'll turn the rest into gold and split that.

Does that work?

I believe so.

Those gillmen were quite generous.

And this is exactly why people think dwarves are greedy.

Oh, shut it. Of course you wouldn't realize the value of this, long-ears.

Ain't that right, Scaly?

For me, I would say this is the greatest reward.

That's a gem, isn't it?

Indeed.

This is the jaw of a great dragon that has spent years turning into agate.

Then I'll take...

This!

What're you gonna do with that?

I figured I'd send it to my sister.

Things from the sea are extremely rare back home.

-In that case, I'll take these pearls. -I want to offer these to the Earth Mother.

I'll be taking this helix. It'll work great as a catalyst.

What about you, Beard-cutter?

Me?

I...

Go on. Eat up.

I have a gift for you.

A gift... Wait, what? No way.

I do.

Found it.

What is it?

A seashell.

Wait, I can really have this?

You had a quest out at sea?

Yeah.

Thank you! I'll take good care of it!

I promise I won't lose it.

I see.

I've come.

Goblins?

Yes. Please help...

No...

Will you slay them?

Of course.

She takes care of me. She is also my bodyguard

though I told her that was unnecessary.

You are quite skilled, but it's always dangerous to leave you alone.

I have no other choice.

Ugh.

Ahem...

So the goblins have been appearing

on this highway, from here, Water Town, through this town, and into the capital.

A highway

I'm just so... so terrified…

I just... can't go through.

How many? Any nests? Any other information on the goblins?

According to eyewitness accounts we've heard, there are around twenty.

They all have matching tattoos. I haven't heard anything about their nests.

They ride wolves.

I see.

The archbishop must participate in the meeting that will be held in the capital.

That's why this request isn't specifically to

slay the goblins, but to act as her bodyguard.

They're probably wanderers without a nest.

A wandering tribe. If I just kill them all when we run into them, it'll all be over.

I believe that any other adventurer would do since we're just dealing with goblins...

But the archbishop absolutely insists that it be you who accompanies her.

Well, he's the most trustworthy gentleman that I know.

I'm going to call... my comrades. Wait a while.

The reward is a bag of gold, and it will be paid up front.

Once we get to our destination, you will get another bag.

Not bad. Taking a long journey to admire the capital might be all right.

R-Right... The capital... The capital, huh?

I guess I did want to go there at least once.

Stop the carriage.

As you command.

Wait a moment.

Beard-cutter sure is diligent.

Pardon.

Yes?

Um... Who is he talking to?

Um... The farm girl who Goblin Slayer lives with.

I see.

I'm done.

Oh, right!

Then let us continue on our way.

Good evening.

You're not going to sleep?

I've been able to sleep well since the incident, so I wanted to thank you...

But you're clearly awake.

That's just because...

You're so mean.

I am?

Goblins didn't appear.

This carriage is being guarded by a group that's armed.

It'd be too much trouble for them to attack up-front.

They'll probably try tonight or tomorrow morning.

Sleep.

Close your eyes, and once you open them, it'll be morning.

You make it sound so easy.

I know that it's difficult.

When I was a child, I tried to see how long I needed

to close my eyes in bed before it became morning.

Lady Archbishop? And Goblin Slayer?

Um... Is something the matter?

She woke up.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't make me sound like some child!

What?

I just had trouble sleeping, that's all.

Is everything all right with you?

I just got a little thirsty, so I was getting some water.

I see.

I'll go wake everyone up.

Don't let them notice you.

I won't.

Return to the carriage.

Huh?

Its dangerous.

Lock the door and wait.

All right. I'll be waiting for you.

Is something the matter?

Goblins have arrived.

Please... don't let them get away alive.

Tch.

That's two.

Don't let them escape. Kill them all.

I see. No wonder carriages and such don't stand a chance when they're attacked.

Get over here! It's dangerous!

Oh, right. I'm sorry.

I think we might be better off with slings than with miracles.

Right. If you use Holy Light, this lot'll probably go running off.

That's twelve.

Being on the defensive doesn't seem to suit me well.

Agreed. Can you move around them?

I do not believe that "cannot" is in our vocabulary.

I will be taking my leave.

Goblin Slayer!

We're going to make an anvil.

Huh?

What?!

Hey, listen here, Orcbolg!

We're going to strengthen our guard. Hurry and use Protection.

Oh, r-right.

You guard the other side.

I'll handle things here.

You got it... But I shouldn't be on the front lines.

You're really pissing me off!

You'd better apologize to me later!

I don't follow.

O merciful Earth Mother,

please protect us, the weak, with the powers of the earth.

Ah, I see.

A hammer and anvil.

Are we just going to surround them and crush them?

Exactly.

We're going to slay all of the goblins.

Are you done?

Y-Yes.

How many?

How many did these goblins get?

Um…

I believe I remember hearing it was a group of five or six.

I see. Shut the window.

Ew... Uh, what are you doing?

I'm going to check.

Sir Goblin Slayer, I will assist you.

Thanks.

We're missing some.

What do you think?

The likelihood that they're keeping them somewhere else... is probably low.

Yeah. They're a wandering tribe.

They should be wandering around with their captives.

Which must mean

that there are even more of them?

This is amazing.

This place is probably older than I am.

You must really like it up there, huh?

Well, we need to be on guard in all directions.

Right, Orcbolg?

Yeah.

Ugh... Why'd you rip that off of them?

There might be remnants or even commanders left of this tribe.

It looks like a hand, but I'm not completely sure.

You'll be left behind.

I-I know!

I know, okay?

Welp...

This is gonna take a while.

I guess that's why it's taking so long.

The king must've been absent from the capital.

I wonder if something happened.

Taxes. -It's around the time they get collected.

In places that don't have a governor or seem like

an uprising may occur, the king appears personally.

Huh... You seem pretty knowledgeable about this.

I'm from a farming village.

Halt. Present your identification.

Now write your name and purpose here.

Um, okay.

Um...

Would "bodyguard duty" suffice?

If you're adventurers, yes.

I see there's also a dwarf, an elf, and a lizard man.

This goes for you, as well.

And who are you?

An adventurer.

Silver-ranked?

This had better not be a fake.

The guild acknowledges me.

In the name of the Supreme God…

I vouch that he is indeed a silver-ranked adventurer.

L-Lady Archbishop!

I-I beg your pardon.

Please go through.

Paperwork is paperwork.

Would you mind handing me the ledger, as well?

Y-Yes, ma'am! Right away! Come on, you! Hurry up and write!

All right.

This is my first time here.

Is it yours as well, Goblin Slayer?

It is.

I wish I could've brought my sister here.

You may get a similar opportunity someday.

I hope so.
