[00:00] Princess
    Honestly! Big Brother is so mean!
[00:04] Princess
    He gets to go everywhere,
    but I'm not allowed to go anywhere!
[00:08] Maid
    That can't be helped. It's his duty.
SIGN    City Adventure
[00:11] Princess
    But the fiery stone from heaven fell...
[00:14] Maid
    Weren't you told not to mention that?
[00:17] Princess
    Big Brother used to be an adventurer,
[00:21] Princess
    but he was completely against it
    when I said I wanted to be one.
[00:24] Maid
    That's because he knows the
    pros and cons of being one.
[00:33] Princess
    Say...
[00:34] Princess
    Your brother's a merchant, isn't he?
[00:38] Maid
    Yes, well, my cousin is.
[00:40] Maid
    He leaves first thing in the
    morning once the gates open,
[00:42] Maid
    goes to buy and sell wares, and comes back.
[00:44] Maid
    Oh?
[00:47] Maid
    His Majesty has returned.
[00:49] Princess
    Really?
[00:57] Princess
    Welcome back, Big Brother!
[01:01] Princess
    If I do this, he'll never suspect that
    I plan to leave the palace tonight.
[02:39] Priestess
    Wow...
[02:59] Acolyte 1 and 2
    Lady Archbishop!
[03:02] Acolyte 2
    You must be tired from your journey! Welcome!
[03:06] Sword Maiden
    Thank you.
[03:10] Lizardman Priest
    We'll start unloading, but what
    shall we do about our lodgings?
[03:14] Sword Maiden
    About that...
[03:16] Sword Maiden
    Please stay at the temple.
[03:19] High Elf Archer
    Perfect!
[03:21] High Elf Archer
    I honestly don't mind unless
    there's some extravagant inn.
[03:24] Dwarf Shaman
    Hm... Sounds good to me, too.
[03:27] Dwarf Shaman
    Considering the time, I'm sure
    all the inns are pretty full.
[03:31] Dwarf Shaman
    How about you, Beard-cutter?
[03:33] Goblin Slayer
    That's fine. There's no reason for me to refuse.
[03:36] Goblin Slayer
    But there's something I want to research.
[03:38] Goblin Slayer
    Is there a library?
[03:39] Sword Maiden
    I'll lead you there immediately!
[03:42] Sword Maiden
    With my authority, you'll be able
    to use the temple's library—
[03:44] Dwarf Shaman
    Nope. First, we're getting food. Food, I say.
[03:47] Goblin Slayer
    That's fine. There's no reason for me to refuse.
[03:51] Sword Maiden
    Then we'll wait until you return.
[03:53] Sword Maiden
    Yes...
[03:57] Priestess
    Um...
[03:58] Priestess
    There's actually somewhere I'd like to go.
[04:00] Goblin Slayer
    Wandering off on your own is dangerous.
[04:03] High Elf Archer
    I'll go with her, then.
    The two of us should be fine.
[04:07] Lizardman Priest
    Then I guess the three of us and the
    two of you will be acting separately.
[04:13] Adventurers
    Cheers!
[04:26] Dwarf Shaman
    I'm surprised that archbishop
    told us about this pub.
[04:31] Lizardman Priest
    Well, I heard that she
    was once an adventurer.
[04:34] Lizardman Priest
    I'm sure she's familiar with
    many establishments such as this.
[04:37] Dwarf Shaman
    Anyway... Something's troubling you,
    isn't it, Beard-cutter?
[04:42] Goblin Slayer
    You can tell?
[04:43] Dwarf Shaman
    Of course I can.
[04:44] Dwarf Shaman
    We've been a party for a little over a year.
[04:48] Dwarf Shaman
    If humans live to be fifty years old,
    that's one-fiftieth of a lifetime.
[04:52] Dwarf Shaman
    That's a decent amount.
[04:55] Goblin Slayer
    Lately, I haven't been able to
    concentrate on goblin slaying.
[04:58] Lizardman Priest
    Our seaside adventures and escort duty...
[05:01] Lizardman Priest
    'Tis true, though we did
    fight some here and there.
[05:05] Lizardman Priest
    Sweet nectar!
[05:08] Goblin Slayer
    It was fun.
[05:12] Goblin Slayer
    But every time, the goblins draw near.
[05:18] Goblin Slayer
    In that case, isn't this my duty?
[05:23] Dwarf Shaman
    Duty, eh?
[05:24] Goblin Slayer
    Indeed.
[05:25] Goblin Slayer
    Because I am Goblin Slayer.
[05:30] Dwarf Shaman
    Do you know how you strengthen a sword?
[05:33] Goblin Slayer
    No... I don't.
[05:35] Dwarf Shaman
    You heat it, strike it, cool it,
    then heat it again.
[05:39] Goblin Slayer
    Heat it, strike it, cool it, then heat it again...
[05:43] Dwarf Shaman
    You have to do all of the above.
[05:45] Dwarf Shaman
    You can't do too much or too
    little of any of the steps.
[05:48] Dwarf Shaman
    A soft sword is flexible,
    but weak against strikes.
[05:51] Dwarf Shaman
    Hard swords cut well, but break easily.
[05:54] Dwarf Shaman
    So what is a good sword?
[05:57] Dwarf Shaman
    The more you cut, the more the sword chips.
[05:59] Dwarf Shaman
    If you sharpen it too much, it'll weaken.
[06:00] Dwarf Shaman
    And eventually,
    they just disappear into history.
[06:03] Dwarf Shaman
    So what is a good sword?
[06:06] Goblin Slayer
    I don't know.
[06:07] Dwarf Shaman
    Of course you don't.
    The best way to live is not knowing.
[06:11] Dwarf Shaman
    The secrets of steel are
    deep and complicated.
[06:15] Lizardman Priest
    You almost sound like a
    priest, Sir Spellcaster.
[06:17] Dwarf Shaman
    And what does the actual priest
    have to say about this matter, eh?
[06:20] Lizardman Priest
    Hm...
[06:21] Lizardman Priest
    People do not have many
    things they must absolutely do.
[06:26] Lizardman Priest
    Mostly, they must live and die.
[06:30] Lizardman Priest
    And that is more difficult
    than one might expect.
[06:33] Lizardman Priest
    Even the beasts of this world
[06:35] Lizardman Priest
    usually cannot live their lives
    exactly how they want to.
[06:39] Lizardman Priest
    And as for us who speak words...
[06:42] Adventurers in the Back
    I can't believe that happened...
[06:43] Lizardman Priest
    We worry and hesitate,
    and that's perfectly fine.
[06:44] Adventurers in the Back
    I'm so sorry I couldn't save them!
[06:46] Lizardman Priest
    I believe that itself is the meaning of life.
[06:51] Lizardman Priest
    Ah, sweet nectar!
[06:59] (Flashback) Rhea
    Sink deeper! Then start kicking!
[07:01] (Flashback) Rhea
    Then you'll be able to float! Repeat!
[07:06] (Flashback) Rhea
    Otherwise, you're gonna die!
[07:10] Goblin Slayer
    I see.
[07:11] Lizardman Priest
    Indeed.
[07:12] Dwarf Shaman
    Pretty much.
[07:14] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah.
[07:22] Priestess
    I'm sorry it took me so long.
[07:25] Priestess
    I'm still slaying goblins.
[07:29] Priestess
    I'm still as flustered as ever when I do,
    just like when you'd yell at me.
[07:33] Priestess
    I met your younger brother, as well.
[07:36] Priestess
    I ended up having to be his mentor,
    but please don't be mad.
[07:41] Priestess
    I know I'm still inexperienced,
    but I taught him everything I could.
[07:47] Priestess
    I'll come by again.
[07:54] High Elf Archer
    Whose grave is that?
[07:58] Priestess
    A former party member of mine...
[08:01] High Elf Archer
    I see... What were they like?
[08:06] Priestess
    Honestly, I'm not too sure.
[08:09] Priestess
    I never really got the chance
    to know her that well.
[08:15] High Elf Archer
    Yeah, that does happen sometimes.
[08:18] Priestess
    Yes.
[08:19] High Elf Archer
    No one else you're visiting here?
[08:22] Priestess
    No. There's one more.
[08:26] High Elf Archer
    You really shouldn't worry about it so much.
[08:29] High Elf Archer
    It's not like it's all your fault.
[08:32] Priestess
    Well, I can't say the others
    are to blame, either.
[08:35] High Elf Archer
    You're so serious.
[08:36] High Elf Archer
    All right!
[08:38] High Elf Archer
    Now let's be the opposite of serious!
[08:44] Priestess
    Wow...
[08:53] Priestess
    S-Sorry. This is just so new to me.
[08:56] High Elf Archer
    I'd heard this was a bathhouse,
    but I guess there's more than baths here!
[08:59] Employee
    Yes. The gymnasium is open, and we also
    offer massages, light meals, and beverages.
[09:06] Priestess
    Oh, how much does all that cost?
[09:08] Employee
    It's all included with your
    entrance fee. Please enjoy.
[09:13] Priestess
    Thanks.
[09:20] Priestess
    Is she watching me?
[09:22] Priestess
    Is she a soldier?
[09:26] High Elf Archer
    Come on! Let's get moving!
[09:27] Priestess
    Oh, right.
[09:28] High Elf Archer
    This way!
[09:43] High Elf Archer
    Toss.
[09:44] Priestess
    Your clothes will wrinkle if
    you don't fold them properly.
[09:46] High Elf Archer
    Huh? Oh, it's fine.
[09:48] High Elf Archer
    Hey, you're still using that?
[09:51] Priestess
    Huh?
[09:52] Priestess
    Oh, yes.
[09:56] Priestess
    It's very dear to me.
[09:57] High Elf Archer
    Oh, come on! It's not legendary
    equipment or anything!
[10:02] High Elf Archer
    All right!
[10:03] High Elf Archer
    Since we're here,
    let's wash each other's backs!
[10:06] Priestess
    Right.
[10:33] High Elf Archer
    This place is so big,
    but every part is so warm...
[10:36] Priestess
    Apparently, it's even warmer
    the further you go in.
[10:40] Priestess
    They also have saunas.
[10:41] High Elf Archer
    Saunas?
[10:42] Priestess
    Yes. It was written on the
    guide in the changing room.
[10:45] High Elf Archer
    Wow... I'm gonna go check it out!
[10:50] Priestess
    Wait!
[11:01] Princess
    Hey.
[11:02] Priestess
    Eek!
[11:03] Priestess
    Can I... help you?
[11:04] Princess
    You're an adventurer, right?
[11:07] Priestess
    Yes...
[11:08] Princess
    Huh... I figured as much.
[11:11] Princess
    So, what's your class?
[11:12] Priestess
    I serve the great Earth Mother.
[11:15] Princess
    So you're a priestess. Not bad.
[11:19] Priestess
    Um... If you're looking for someone to
    join your party, I'm already in one...
[11:25] Princess
    Huh?
[11:25] Princess
    Oh, no. It's nothing like that.
[11:30] Priestess
    I wonder what this is about.
[11:32] Princess
    Say, I'm just curious.
    What kind of equipment do you use?
[11:36] Princess
    What rank are you?
[11:38] Priestess
    Um... I'm steel-rank...
[11:40] Priestess
    and my equipment consists of a
    priest robe, staff, and chain mail.
[11:45] Princess
    Does any of that have
    special powers or blessings?
[11:50] Priestess
    No, they're just normal...
    Just an ordinary staff and chain mail.
[11:56] Princess
    Right, thanks. That was a huge help.
[12:02] Priestess
    Um...
[12:03] Princess
    Huh?
[12:04] Priestess
    If you're going to be an adventurer,
[12:06] Priestess
    you should make sure you properly prepare
    yourself and do enough shopping.
[12:15] Princess
    You're right. Shopping is important.
[12:23] High Elf Archer
    Man... I almost got heatstroke.
[12:27] High Elf Archer
    It's intense over there.
[12:30] High Elf Archer
    Who was that?
[12:31] Priestess
    Um... I have no idea.
[12:39] Employee
    What's the matter?
[12:41] Priestess
    U-Um... My clothes...
[12:44] High Elf Archer
    We can't find her clothes.
[12:47] High Elf Archer
    She's a priestess of the Earth Mother.
[12:48] High Elf Archer
    I can't imagine someone would
    take her clothes by mistake...
[12:51] Employee
    Please wait a moment. I'll go
    talk to the one in charge here.
[12:59] High Elf Archer
    Don't worry. We'll find your stuff in no time.
[13:01] Priestess
    Right. Um, but... well...
[13:10] Employee
    Sorry, I'm back.
[13:12] Employee
    I was told that someone just left
    wearing holy robes of the Earth Mother.
[13:16] Employee
    Which might mean...
[13:17] High Elf Archer
    They were stolen?!
[13:19] Priestess
    P-Pardon me!
[13:23] Priestess
    This is my money pouch...
[13:29] High Elf Archer
    A soldier? But why?
[13:32] Priestess
    That girl from earlier!
[13:35] Priestess
    M-My....
[13:38] Priestess
    chain mail...
[13:40] Priestess
    I-It was the first thing...
    he complimented me on...
[13:48] High Elf Archer
    I'm sorry. I never should've
    suggested we come here.
[13:53] High Elf Archer
    I promise we'll get it all back.
[14:18] Sword Maiden
    You're not going to stay by her side?
[14:24] Sword Maiden
    Usually, when girls are crying,
    they want someone to comfort them.
[14:28] Goblin Slayer
    Do they?
[14:30] Sword Maiden
    Yes.
[14:31] Sword Maiden
    You can't just let girls cry like that.
[14:35] Goblin Slayer
    I know. I learned that a long time ago.
[14:38] Sword Maiden
    I see...
[14:43] Sword Maiden
    I brought you a book.
[14:45] Sword Maiden
    Since it's a bit too late to
    take you to the library today.
[14:50] Goblin Slayer
    I see.
[14:54] Goblin Slayer
    Things end up lost.
[14:58] Sword Maiden
    Right...
[15:00] Goblin Slayer
    When I was a child, I was supposed
    to receive my father's dagger.
[15:06] Goblin Slayer
    I think it was a good dagger with
    a hawk's head on the handle.
[15:11] Goblin Slayer
    I have no idea where it is now, though.
[15:15] Sword Maiden
    I see. I'm going to the castle tomorrow.
[15:19] Sword Maiden
    I have a meeting with His Majesty.
[15:23] Sword Maiden
    I've known him for quite a while,
    so I'll try talking to him.
[15:29] Goblin Slayer
    I see. Thanks.
[15:31] Sword Maiden
    Of course. Leave it to me.
[15:34] Sword Maiden
    Good night.
[15:39] Sword Maiden
    Sweet dreams.
[15:41] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah. You, too.
[15:52] King
    Now, then...
[15:53] King
    Let's hear what you all have to say
    regarding the flaming stone from the heavens
[15:56] King
    that fell at the holy mount.
[15:59] Royal Mage
    The stargazers say that
[16:00] Royal Mage
    it is an ill omen that has
    unexpectedly fallen upon the board.
[16:04] King
    Ah, unexpectedly? So this is not
    fate, but rather happenstance?
[16:11] King
    How are things on the holy mount?
[16:13] King
    I want to know how the flaming
    stone has affected it.
[16:18] Gold-rank Adventurer
    As usual, it's not exactly easy to
    climb the holy mount, Your Majesty.
[16:22] Gold-rank Adventurer
    It'd be different if there were caves inside,
[16:25] Gold-rank Adventurer
    but climbing it from the outside is tough.
[16:27] Royal Guard Captain
    Your Majesty, it would be difficult for
    our forces to march upon the holy mount.
[16:31] King
    I figured it would be...
[16:33] Royal Guard Captain
    However... if something
    were to come down from it,
[16:35] Royal Guard Captain
    we'd be able to encircle it immediately.
[16:39] Royal Guard Captain
    We won't let even a single
    monster step into our domain.
[16:43] Gold-rank Adventurer
    You should be careful.
[16:45] Gold-rank Adventurer
    I went to take a look at
    the base of the mountain,
[16:47] Gold-rank Adventurer
    and I sensed the presence
    of something unfamiliar.
[16:51] King
    Which means...
[16:53] King
    We might have to summon her.
[16:58] King
    Then let us speak again once she arrives.
[17:03] King
    How was the city while I was gone?
SIGN    South of the capital,
SIGN    a strange religion that worships the "God of Wisdom" is spreading.
[17:10] King
    And those who do not believe in
    it will face a terrible curse?
SIGN    We are still unsure of what's behind all this.
[17:16] King
    Ah...
[17:18] King
    Then I guess we'll have to take care of that.
SIGN    Your Majesty...
[17:22] King
    Yes, yes, I know.
[17:23] Royal Mage
    Is the God of Wisdom different
    from the god who gives knowledge?
SIGN    The God of Knowledge walks through the darkness of his own accord
SIGN    and blesses those who offer up the light of learning.
[17:32] Royal Mage
    And the God of Wisdom is different?
SIGN    There is no path with him.
SIGN    He just suddenly throws flames of knowledge at you.
[17:39] Royal Mage
    Well, then, they are definitely different.
[17:43] King
    What about what is beyond our sight?
[17:45] Sword Maiden
    Currently, there is no sign that the
    order of the world is in disarray.
[17:50] Sword Maiden
    There are now more refugees, orphans,
    and homeless due to the previous battle,
[17:55] Sword Maiden
    but there is still plenty of work.
[17:58] Sword Maiden
    However...
[18:00] King
    What is it? Speak.
[18:02] Sword Maiden
    Then I beg your pardon,
[18:03] Sword Maiden
    but a dear friend of mine had her
    holy robes and precious chain mail
[18:07] Sword Maiden
    stolen from her at the
    bathhouse just yesterday.
[18:11] King
    What?
[18:12] Sword Maiden
    In any case, I believe goblins
    should all be destroyed.
[18:21] King
    Very well. I'll have someone
    look into this matter.
[18:23] King
    Next... How are the training
    centers for the adventurers going?
[18:27] Female Merchant
    Yes, Sire.
[18:35] Female Merchant
    The facilities themselves
[18:36] Female Merchant
    are almost complete in
    numerous cities and guilds.
[18:39] Female Merchant
    Though, it appears some have a hard time
    accepting the fact that they must train
[18:44] Female Merchant
    after they've become adventurers.
[18:45] King
    They may need to change
    their way of thinking,
[18:48] King
    but we'll have to take
    some time to educate them.
[18:50] Female Merchant
    Yes, so I was thinking we could at least
    win over those who become adventurers
[18:53] Female Merchant
    as a way to feed themselves by
    offering food during their training.
[18:55] King
    That's an excellent idea,
    but do you have the budget?
[18:58] Female Merchant
    Honestly, monetarily, we'd be in the red.
[19:01] Female Merchant
    So I was thinking that we could
    delegate the slaying of sewer rats
[19:04] Female Merchant
    and roaches to the training centers.
[19:06] Minister
    Perhaps we should have them slay goblins.
[19:09] Minister
    Then perhaps we can take care of
    the Lady Archbishop's concer—
[19:14] Minister
    ...concerns, as well.
[19:17] King
    Well, that's not a bad idea,
[19:19] King
    but if we can settle for the sewers,
    that would be best. Proceed with that.
[19:23] Female Merchant
    Thank you very much.
[19:24] Maid
    This is awful!
[19:25] Soldier
    What's the meaning of this?
    A meeting is in progress!
[19:28] Maid
    Y-Your Majesty!
    Something awful has happened!
[19:32] Merchant
    This morning, some girl...
[19:35] (Flashback) Princess
    Would you mind taking me north?
[19:38] Merchant
    ...is what she requested,
[19:39] Merchant
    so I gave her a ride on my cart...
[19:44] Merchant
    But we were suddenly attacked by goblins,
    and since we were outnumbered,
[19:48] Merchant
    I left my cart behind and
    tried to escape on my horse.
[19:52] Merchant
    But...
[19:53] (Flashback) Princess
    No! We have to fight! They're goblins!
[19:55] Merchant
    She said she was going
    to fight the goblins...
[20:00] Merchant
    The cart flipped over,
[20:02] Merchant
    and then the girl...
[20:05] Merchant
    was taken by the goblins.
[20:10] Merchant
    I was just frantic to get help,
    so I returned to the city.
[20:15] Merchant
    I had no idea!
[20:17] Merchant
    I had no idea that she was the princess!
[20:25] Civil Servant
    Your Majesty! We must rescue her at once!
[20:27] King
    You're asking me to send an army
    after my little sister fled the castle,
[20:30] King
    stole from a priestess,
    and was taken away by goblins?
[20:34] Civil Servant
    B-But Your Majesty—
[20:35] King
    I know!
[20:37] King
    But if we let the soldiers
    know of a scandal like this,
[20:39] King
    rumors will spread like
    wildfire to other nations.
[20:42] King
    This is a life-or-death matter for our nation.
[20:45] King
    A trustworthy adventurer...
    That is our only option.
[20:52] Gold-rank Adventurer
    What we need to figure out
    now is their location.
[20:54] Gold-rank Adventurer
    Where were you attacked?
[20:55] Merchant
    Up north. I was heading toward the
    holy mount... right about here.
[21:00] Gold-rank Adventurer
    Is there anywhere in this area
    where goblins may make their nest?
[21:04] Royal Guard Captain
    I don't know. They'll
    basically settle anywhere.
[21:08] Sword Maiden
    The Dungeon of the Dead.
[21:11] King
    I haven't heard that name in ages.
[21:15] Sword Maiden
    If goblins were going to
    settle somewhere up north,
[21:18] Sword Maiden
    that is the only place I can think of.
[21:21] Minister
    We need an adventurer who
    is tight-lipped, trustworthy,
[21:24] Minister
    and can go into the depths of that dungeon.
[21:28] Minister
    Will you do this for us, Lady Sword Maiden?
[21:34] King
    What say you, Archbishop?
    Will you do this for us?
[21:41] Female Merchant
    Excuse me.
[21:44] Female Merchant
    People who are with the Lady Archbishop
    are requesting to enter the room.
[21:48] Minister
    We're in the middle of a meeting!
[21:50] Female Merchant
    Among them are silver-ranked adventurers.
[21:53] Goblin Slayer
    I heard everything.
[21:57] Goblin Slayer
    So it is goblins.
[21:59] Goblin Slayer
    I'll go.
