**[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.
