**[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?
***SIGN*** Whispers and Prayers and Chants
**[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.
**[21:45] HEA**
Actually, I'd say *you* need
some more exercise, dwarf.
**[21:47] DS**
You fool! My plumpness
is what defines a dwarf!
**[21:50] HEA**
Really? Get any fatter and we'd
have to roll you down the hall!
**[21:54] Lp**
Now, then... What's rather curious...
**[21:58] Lp**
is this.
