[01:33] (Flashback) GS
    Master, what should I do today?
[01:37] (Flashback) BurglaB
    What should you do?
[01:39] (Flashback) B
    How stupid can you be?!
[01:42] (Flashback) B
    You got hit, so you hit back!
    Hit the goblins back!
[01:46] (Flashback) B
    Those critters are smart! You think
    you'll be able to kill goblins?
[01:51] (Flashback) GS
    I will.
[01:54] (Flashback) B
    Even though you only
    watched while the goblins
[01:57] (Flashback) B
    used your dear sister as their plaything?
[02:01] (Flashback) B
    Why didn't you jump out and hit the goblins?
[02:04] (Flashback) B
    Why didn't you take your sister and run?
[02:08] (Flashback) B
    You were powerless and didn't do a thing.
[02:12] (Flashback) B
    Did you think you could do something as
    soon as you gained a little bit of power?
[02:16] (Flashback) B
    Even if you could, it'd be just for show!
[02:19] (Flashback) B
    It'll soon be gone, and poof, it's all over!
[02:22] (Flashback) B
    But you're the one who has to decide.
[02:26] (Flashback) B
    The moment you make the decision to
    do something and act on it, you win.
[02:33] (Flashback) B
    Luck, wisdom, and courage!
[02:37] (Flashback) B
    It all begins with whether or not
    you're going to do something,
[02:39] (Flashback) B
    so do something!
[02:41] (Flashback) GS
    Yes, master.
[02:42] (Flashback) B
    Look above you.
[02:45] (Flashback) B
    This is a puzzle, a riddle!
[02:47] (Flashback) B
    If you don't want to die, answer quickly.
[02:50] (Flashback) GS
    Yes, master.
[02:51] (Flashback) B
    Very good.
[02:53] (Flashback) B
    More just than the gods!
    More evil than evil deities!
[02:57] (Flashback) B
    The rich need me! The poor need me not!
[02:59] (Flashback) B
    What am I?
[03:01] (Flashback) B
    Now, be careful!
[03:02] (Flashback) B
    You'll be crushed!
[03:05] (Flashback) GS
    Nothing. The answer is nothing!
[03:08] (Flashback) B
    Correct! How about this one?
[03:10] (Flashback) B
    It will appear before you
    at any time and any place.
[03:15] (Flashback) B
    It will never let you escape,
    yet you can never even talk to it!
[03:19] (Flashback) B
    It's right beside you! Give up!
[03:28] (Flashback) GS
    Death... The answer is death!
[03:33] (Flashback) B
    Good... Well done.
[03:38] (Flashback) B
    Finally, answer me this.
    What's in my pocket?
[03:44] (Flashback) B
    What's in my pocket?

[04:22] SM
    It appears you are awake.
[04:31] SM
    So how was it, sharing a
    bed with me... and her?
[04:37] GS
    Not bad.
[04:40] GS
    So this is the miracle of Resurrection...
    Achieved by sharing a bed with a virgin.
[04:44] SM
    Oh, so you've heard of it?
[04:47] GS
    I knew of it.
[04:51] SM
    Though, sadly, I cannot be
    considered pure anymore.
[04:57] GS
    Goblins?
[04:58] SM
    Yes.
[05:00] SM
    It was about ten years ago.
[05:03] SM
    I was captured by goblins,
    and inside the cave...
[05:07] SM
    Would you like to hear what happened?
[05:10] GS
    I already know.
[05:13] SM
    I cried like a child, repeating,
    "It hurts... It hurts..."
[05:20] SM
    But... I can see...
[05:23] SM
    Though it is blurry, I can make out your shape.
[05:29] SM
    We can find you anywhere,
    but at the same time,
[05:31] Sm
    you seem like you may disappear
    as soon as we turn away.
[05:35] Sm
    You're like a shadow.
[05:37] SM
    People are... Women are weak creatures.
[05:42] SM
    I'm worried. I'm scared.
[05:45] SM
    Isn't it strange?
[05:47] SM
    I, the Sword Maiden, am scared,
    terrified, night after night...
[05:52] SM
    I feel absolutely helpless.
[05:57] SM
    This is the world we live in, after all.
[05:59] SM
    No matter how many things
    we have to help us...
[06:02] SM
    Though I'm sure others
    wouldn't understand, right?
[06:07] GS
    Really?
[06:11] SM
    "Really?" he says...
[06:15] GS
    Is something funny?
[06:17] SM
    Well, don't you think it's funny?
[06:19] SM
    I'm the woman who defeated the Demon Lord.
[06:24] SM
    And yet I'm scared of some goblins...
[06:29] SM
    Please...
[06:31] Sm
    Will you help me?
[06:53] Priestess
    U-Um, uh...
[06:56] P
    D-D-Did you see?!
[06:59] GS
    Yeah.
[07:01] GS
    Don't worry.
[07:03] GS
    You don't have any scars.
[07:09] P
    Are your wounds healed now?
[07:13] GS
    Yeah.
[07:15] P
    Goblin Slayer...
[07:18] GS
    What?
[07:19] P
    Um...
[07:22] P
    Are you sure you're not
    pushing yourself too hard?
[07:25] GS
    Why do you ask that?
[07:29] P
    You seem different than usual, somehow.
[07:33] GS
    No.
[07:35] GS
    Nothing's changed.
[07:39] P
    Um... Goblin Slayer?
[07:42] High Elf Archer
    This must be it!
[07:44] HEA
    Hey! I heard you two were awake!
[07:47] HEA
    You okay? All better now?
[07:49] Dwarf Shaman
    Looks like you're all better,
    Beard-cutter and little girl.
[07:53] Lizardman Priest
    Thank goodness the spell
    was performed in time.
[07:58] GS
    I see you're all safe.
[08:00] HEA
    Are you really one to talk, Orcbolg?
[08:03] GS
    How's the canary?
[08:04] HEA
    It's fine! Totally fine!
[08:06] HEA
    Actually, you were in the worst
    shape of all of us, Orcbolg.
[08:10] HEA
    As soon as she woke up,
[08:12] HEA
    she was all, "Goblin Slayer!"
    and started crying. It was a mess.
[08:17] P
    H-Hey! You promised you wouldn't say—
[08:19] HEA
    He's not going to get it if we don't.
[08:21] LP
    At any rate, now we should be able
    to continue our exploration.
[08:28] LP
    Or perhaps we should tend
    to our equipment first.
[08:32] DS
    Come on, Scaly, you fool!
    We need to eat first!
[08:37] LP
    Ah, how thoughtless of me.
[08:41] GS
    None of you have eaten yet?
[08:44] P
    Correct. We promised, remember?
[08:47] P
    That when we got through that battle,
    we'd enjoy a meal together.
[08:53] P
    Promises must be kept, right?
[09:04] SD
    This is delicious! My empty
    stomach can barely handle it!
[09:08] LP
    There's nothing like a meal enjoyed together.
[09:15] HEA
    All right, you two get some rest.
[09:18] HEA
    We'll go scout the sewers.
[09:21] P
    Huh? But...
[09:22] SD
    A warrior with no equipment is
    too big a risk to take down there.
[09:26] P
    Sorry...
[09:29] GS
    Thanks.
[09:34] GS
    Want me to hold that?
[09:35] P
    No, I'm fine.
[09:38] GS
    I see.
[09:42] P
    They'll all be fine, right?
[09:46] GS
    Yeah.
[09:47] P
    Are your wounds healed now?
[09:50] GS
    Yeah.
[09:51] P
    Make sure you don't do anything too reckless.
[09:53] GS
    Yeah.
[09:58] GS
    What's wrong?
[09:59] P
    Don't give me that!
[10:01] P
    All you keep saying is "Yeah."
[10:06] GS
    Really?
[10:07] P
    Yes!
[10:08] GS
    I see.
[10:09] P
    You say "I see" all the time, too!
[10:13] GS
    I'll try to do something about it.
[10:15] P
    Good, you do that!
[10:19] P
    So, you mentioned that you
    wanted to go shopping.
[10:23] GS
    Yeah.
[10:25] GS
    I'm going to look at the weapons and
    armor, since mine were damaged.
[10:30] GS
    What are you going to do?
[10:31] P
    My chainmail was torn, so I was hoping
    there was a shop that could fix it.
[10:37] GS
    It'd probably be faster to buy a new set.
[10:39] P
    But I'd rather not.
[10:42] GS
    Why is that?
[10:43] P
    Because... this is the first thing
    you ever complimented me on.
[10:49] GS
    I see.
[10:53] GS
    I guess you're right.
[10:56] Guy
    This has a huge hole in it.
[10:58] Guy
    You'd probably be better
    off buying a new one.
[11:00] P
    No, I'd really like you to
    repair it if possible.
[11:03] Guy
    Sure thing. I'll fix 'er right up.
[11:08] Guy
    Need a makeover, miss?
[11:11] P
    N-No, thank you!
[11:15] GS
    I need these repaired.
[11:17] Guy
    A-A silver rank?
[11:20] GS
    It's leather armor and a round shield.
    I need it done as soon as possible,
[11:23] GS
    along with that chainmail.
[11:26] Guy
    Um... if you need them done immediately,
    the fee will be a bit higher...
[11:29] GS
    That's fine.
[11:32] Guy
    Thank you kindly, sir!
[11:34] GS
    I'm going to have a look at your swords.
[11:38] Gs
    I'll take this. It's a bit long,
    but I'll shorten it myself.
[11:42] GS
    I'll be using your whetstone.
[11:43] Guy
    But sir, a sword like that is
    really only good for goblins—
[11:47] Gs
    I'll be using it to kill goblins.
[11:49] Guy
    What?!
[11:56] Lady
    Come on by!
[11:58] Guy
    Gather round and have some
    mouth-watering ice crème!
[12:01] Guy
    Delicious, delicious ice crème!
[12:05] P
    Ice crème? I wonder what that is.
[12:08] Gs
    I'm not sure, but seeing how
    mostly kids are gathering around,
[12:12] Gs
    it's probably something sweet.
[12:18] GS
    Go ahead.
[12:19] P
    Okay! Thank you so much!
[12:34] P
    Amazing! It's so cold and sweet!
[12:38] GS
    Is it good?
[12:39] P
    Yes! Very much so!
[12:41] GS
    I see.
[12:44] GS
    So it's a frozen dessert.
[12:47] GS
    I've never seen a spell like this.
    How is it accomplished?
[12:50] Guy
    Well...
[12:51] Guy
    A scientist found out that if you put fire
    mixture in water, it freezes up real well.
[12:57] Gs
    Oh?
[12:58] Guy
    So I got the idea that freezing up
    some milk might be delicious.
[13:03] Gs
    I see. That was very helpful.
[13:06] GS
    Give me one. Keep the change.
[13:07] Guy
    Huh?! Thank you!
[13:11] GS
    What?
[13:12] P
    Nothing. I just figured out why
    you know so many things.
[13:21] P
    It's strange, isn't it?
[13:23] P
    No one here has any idea that
    goblins are right below them.
[13:28] Gs
    Yeah.
[13:30] P
    Though I'm sure they're scared
    after what happened to the victims.
[13:35] P
    Anyone would be.
[13:38] Gs
    When I was young...
[13:39] P
    What?
[13:41] GS
    I thought if I took a step,
[13:42] GS
    the ground would open up
    beneath me, and I would die.
[13:46] P
    Huh?
[13:48] gS
    There was a time when I hesitated
    to even walk because of that.
[13:53] Gs
    It's not impossible,
    but no one worries about that.
[13:59] Gs
    That was really strange to me.
[14:02] GS
    She and my sister laughed at me for it,
[14:04] GS
    but it took time for me to realize
    that I still have to walk,
[14:07] GS
    no matter how scared I am.
[14:09] P
    Is that how it is?
[14:12] GS
    It is.
[14:15] Gs
    Even now, I'm scared to death.
[14:19] Gs
    I'm thankful that you're helping me,
[14:23] Gs
    but you're not required to help.
[14:34] P
    I told you I was going to
    do what I wanted to do.
[14:38] Gs
    Did you?
[14:40] P
    I did.
[14:44] P
    You really are hopeless, you know that?
[14:50] Gs
    Sorry.
[14:51] P
    I don't want to hear that.
[14:54] Gs
    Sorry.
[14:56] P
    It's fine, though.
[14:59] P
    I can't help the things I'm
    scared of— That's cold!
[15:12] P
    Well, let's get going, Goblin Sla—
[15:14] Spearman
    There you are, Goblin Slayer!
[15:17] Sp
    You've got some nerve,
    summoning us with a letter!
[15:20] Sp
    Don't make me tell Guild Girl on you!
[15:22] Gs
    Tell her what?
[15:23] Sp
    The fact that you're out
    and about with that girl!
[15:26] Witch
    Stop that... now.
[15:28] W
    I'm the one who was summoned.
[15:31] P
    Oh, um...
[15:33] W
    You seem... well.
[15:36] W
    Thank... goodness.
[15:37] P
    Oh, yes!
[15:39] W
    We had some business over here,
    so I had him come... along.
[15:45] W
    Go on.
[15:49] Sp
    Here.
[15:50] Gs
    Thanks. This will help a lot.
[15:52] Sp
    I'm not a delivery boy, you know.
    Don't make me carry stuff like that again.
[15:58] W
    But... why do you need this?
[16:01] W
    You should be able to buy
    this... in this town.
[16:04] GS
    The stuff they have here won't work.
[16:07] GS
    It has to be very fine.
[16:09] W
    I see.
[16:10] SP
    What are you going to use that for?
[16:12] GS
    What else?
[16:14] Gs
    To slay goblins.
[16:19] Uncle
    He didn't come back again today.
[16:22] Cowgirl
    Yeah...
[16:24] Uncle
    How many days has it been now?
[16:26] CG
    Well, he said he was going to a town far away.
[16:29] CG
    I'm sure he has his reasons.
[16:33] Uncle
    He keeps leaving to slay
    goblins with no rest...
[16:38] Uncle
    Eventually, the day will come
    when he won't come back at all.
[16:42] CG
    He'll be back.
[16:45] CG
    He'll come back, no matter what.
[16:48] CG
    This is a very important place
[16:51] Cg
    to both him and me.
[16:55] CG
    So I always want to be waiting here
    for him until he comes back.
[17:04] Ds
    Beard-cutter, you're armed to the teeth.
[17:07] HEA
    You could try looking a little cooler.
[17:10] P
    Yeah...
[17:12] P
    Oh, I know, Goblin Slayer. Why don't you
    stick some feathers in your helmet?
[17:17] GS
    Not interested.
[17:18] HEA
    By the way, Orcbolg,
[17:19] Hea
    you didn't bring a torch today?
[17:22] GS
    There's something I want to try.
    Fire would get in the way.
[17:25] Gs
    So, what's this trouble you mentioned?
[17:28] Lp
    Right...
[17:31] Lp
    Behold.
[17:35] P
    What... is that?
[17:38] HEA
    No idea. I mean, it seems
    to be a giant eyeball, but...
[17:44] Lp
    As far as I can tell,
    it is a creature of chaos.
[17:48] P
    A creature that must not be named...
[17:51] P
    It's a creature of that nature, right?
[17:54] GS
    Who cares what it's called? You can call
    it Giant Eyeball or whatever you want.
[17:58] DS
    You never change, do you?
[18:01] LP
    But what's truly dangerous is that eyeball.
[18:12] Lp
    That is an evil eye capable of Disintegrate.
[18:15] LP
    I would summon a dragontooth warrior,
[18:17] LP
    but when that Giant Eye glares at it,
[18:20] LP
    it will use Dispel and my spell will be undone.
[18:22] GS
    Disintegrate and Dispel...
    That is troublesome.
[18:26] P
    It looks like as long as we don't
    enter the room, it won't attack.
[18:31] P
    I think as long as the eye doesn't
    see us, I'll be able to use a miracle.
[18:36] DS
    But if we get close, it'll see us.
[18:38] DS
    We can't use spells, and that thing fires
    beams. It definitely has the upper hand.
[18:42] DS
    We're basically stuck here
    twiddling our thumbs.
[18:47] GS
    No. There's something I want to try.
[18:50] HEA
    Just remember, you can't
    use fire, water, or poison.
[18:55] GS
    That was our promise.
[18:57] Gs
    Just to make sure, we're
    outside the town now, right?
[19:00] Ds
    We walked quite a ways, so I feel like
    we're a pretty good distance away.
[19:05] GS
    Then this shouldn't be a problem.
[19:13] Hea
    Here it comes!
[19:22] Dwarf shaman
    Drink and sing, spirits!
[19:24] Dwarf shaman
    Sing, dance, and sleep like a log!
[19:27] Dwarf shaman
    Show me dreams of fire wine!
[19:31] DS
    The thing's harmless if it can't glare at us.
[19:35] GS
    All right.
[19:41] HEA
    Orcbolg, what is that?
[19:44] Gs
    Flour. Don't breathe it in.
[19:45] DS
    My spell's gonna wear off soon!
[19:53] GS
    Shoot an arrow at it.
    It just needs to hit it.
[19:57] GS
    Immediately cast Protection on the
    entrance. This plan relies on you.
[20:00] Gs
    If you mess up, we die.
[20:02] P
    Got it!
[20:05] P
    O merciful Earth Mother,
[20:07] P
    please protect us, the weak,
    with the powers of the earth.
[20:14] Ds
    Powder... in an enclosed space...
    Don't tell me...
[20:18] Gs
    Cover your ears and keep your mouths open!
[20:24] GS
    Get down!
[20:46] Ds
    You actually did it.
[20:48] Lp
    Sir Goblin Slayer, exactly what did you do?
[20:51] Gs
    When he told me about the canary,
    the coal miner also told me that
[20:55] Gs
    when there's a lot of fine powder in the air
    in an enclosed space, and there's a spark,
[21:00] Gs
    it'll catch fire and explode.
[21:02] Gs
    But it's a hassle to prepare.
[21:05] Gs
    There's a chance it'll
    ignite or explode too early.
[21:09] Gs
    Meaning it'll be useless against goblins.
[21:11] HEA
    Wait, an explosion?!
[21:13] Gs
    I didn't specifically use
    fire, water, or poison.
[21:17] HEA
    That's not the problem here...
[21:20] HEA
    Oh, forget it.
[21:22] P
    Um... What were you going
    to do if it didn't explode?
[21:26] GS
    We'd shoot an arrow from the hall and
    run away until it could collect itself.
[21:30] Gs
    We'd repeat this cycle until it died.
[21:33] GS
    It'd be a hassle, but it'd work.
[21:34] HEA
    I'd be the one doing most of
    the work there, wouldn't I?
[21:38] dS
    I guess it would be a
    life-or-death situation for you.
[21:41] Ds
    With all that exercise, you'd never
    plump up that anvil body of yours.
