[00:09] Female Bishop
    Sword Prince, to those who see what should
    be seen and speak what should be spoken,
[00:14] Female Bishop
    grant your protection!
[00:22] Female Bishop
    Everyone, please heal!
[00:25] Female Wizard
    First, we need to silence our enemy's spells.
[00:28] Female Bishop
    Right!
[00:29] Bugman Monk
    We need to work together.
[00:30] Female Bishop
    Yes, please!
[00:31] Bugman Monk
    My god, the roaming wind. Let all we
    say on the road stay secret among us.
[00:38] Female Bishop
    Let there be the light of silence.
[00:40] Female Bishop/Bugman Monk
    Silence!
[00:52] Female Warrior
    Too slow!
[00:59] Female Warrior
    I have no idea what you're saying!
[01:22] Female Bishop
    It's trying to summon more allies!
[01:23] Bugman Monk
    We'll exterminate them all anyway.
    Perhaps we should wait until more show up.
[01:27] Female Wizard
    Please do this with me.
[01:29] Female Bishop
    Right.
[01:32] Female Wizard
    Ventus!
[01:33] Female Bishop
    Lumen!
[01:36] Female Bishop and Female Wizard
    Libero!
[01:49] Half-Elf Scout
    Yeah, that's about what you'd
    expect from greater demons.
SIGN    Once There Was Youth, Now There Is Nothing but Ash
[01:53] Female Wizard
    How far have we come?
[01:55] Female Bishop
    Oh, right.
[01:56] Female Bishop
    Two vertically and two to the side...
[02:00] Female Bishop
    We should be in the middle
    of the ninth floor now.
[02:04] Female Wizard
    Thanks.
[02:08] Female Bishop
    But truly...
[02:10] Female Bishop
    Thank goodness we haven't
    run into any goblins.
[03:56] High Elf Archer
    Well, that sucked.
[03:57] High Elf Archer
    Maybe I'll buy some steel arrows, too.
[03:59] Dwarf Shaman
    What happened to your pride as an elf?!
[04:01] Dwarf Shaman
    Just shut up and shoot!
    Shoot and distract it!
[04:04] High Elf Archer
    You shut up and do something!
[04:06] Dwarf Shaman
    I'm thinking, damn it!
[04:17] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother,
[04:19] Priestess
    please protect us, the weak,
    with the powers of the earth.
[04:25] Priestess
    Now!
[04:26] Lizardman Priest
    Indeed!
[04:27] Lizardman Priest
    River-Walker Mosasaurus, see my deeds!
[04:43] Dwarf Shaman
    At this rate, it's gonna eventually sink!
[04:53] (Flashback) Goblin Slayer
    Are you a goblin?
[04:53] (Flashback) Gillman
    No!
[04:55] (Flashback) Goblin Slayer
    We were informed that a fishery
    was being attacked by sea goblins.
[04:58] (Flashback) Gillman
    Sea goblins?!
    At least call us Homo Piscesians.
[05:02] (Flashback) Gillman
    We're descendants of the great octopus god
    that cometh down from the sea of stars!
[05:06] (Flashback) Gillman
    We would never attack fisheries.
[05:09] (Flashback) Priestess
    Then do you know why there
    have been less fish lately?
[05:13] (Flashback) Priestess
    If it's within our power, I believe
    we can help clear your names.
[05:20] (Flashback) Gillman
    The reason is... the sea serpent.
[05:23] (Flashback) Dwarf Shaman
    Sea serpent?
[05:25] (Flashback) Dwarf Shaman
    Don't those exist further out to sea?
[05:27] (Flashback) Gillman
    Well, it seems they've been
    sent over here by someone.
[05:31] (Flashback) Gillman
    Isn't it awful? The stars have
    been a mess because of it.
[05:35] (Flashback) Goblin Slayer
    So... no goblins are involved?
[05:38] (Flashback) Goblin Slayer
    Should we go home?
[05:43] (Flashback) Priestess
    Then I guess we can just go ourselves.
    We can't just ignore those who are in trouble.
[05:48] (Flashback) High Elf Archer
    Right. Though this seems dangerous
    with no one on our front line.
[05:56] Goblin Slayer
    What do you think?
[05:57] Lizardman Priest
    There isn't much time.
[06:00] Goblin Slayer
    What was this thing called again?
[06:02] Lizardman Priest
    A sea serpent.
[06:04] Goblin Slayer
    So is it a fish or a snake?
[06:07] Lizardman Priest
    I don't see any traces of
    venom in its bite marks.
[06:10] Lizardman Priest
    Perhaps it is a fish.
[06:12] Goblin Slayer
    Then we should just do with spells
    what we can't do with weapons.
[06:22] Goblin Slayer
    Once that thing comes out,
    let loose the harpoon!
[06:24] Lizardman Priest
    Yes, understood.
[06:31] Priestess
    Curse you!
[06:32] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother, please bless us,
[06:34] Priestess
    the wanderers in the
    darkness, with holy light!
[06:45] Goblin Slayer
    Go!
[06:46] Dwarf Shaman
    You got it!
[06:50] Dwarf Shaman
    Dance, dance, nymphs and sylphs!
[06:52] Dwarf Shaman
    Make sure not to fall in
    between the shore and sea!
[07:01] High Elf Archer
    Yeesh...
[07:03] Goblin Slayer
    After having the Water Walk spell
    cast on them, fish will suffocate.
[07:07] Goblin Slayer
    If it comes this way, shoot it
    with your arrows. In the eyes.
[07:10] High Elf Archer
    Yeah, yeah.
[07:24] High Elf Archer
    What?
[07:25] Goblin Slayer
    Nothing.
[07:27] Goblin Slayer
    I was just thinking it'd be nice if
    goblins also went down this easily.
[07:34] Guild Girl
    So... what happened with the quest
    to exterminate the sea goblins?
[07:37] Goblin Slayer
    They weren't goblins.
[07:39] Guild Girl
    Apparently, it was just
    easier to call them that.
[07:42] Goblin Slayer
    They weren't goblins.
[07:44] Guild Girl
    Er... So about the quest...
[07:45] Goblin Slayer
    They weren't goblins.
[07:47] Guild Girl
    So it's canceled. Got it.
[07:49] Goblin Slayer
    Well, they weren't goblins.
[07:51] Guild Girl
    So the issue with the sea goblins—
[07:53] Guild Girl
    Er, pardon. The issue with the
    gillmen remains unresolved.
[07:57] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah, well, we ended up exterminating
    some other creature.
[08:02] Guild Girl
    Oh, then can you give me the
    details on this creature?
[08:06] Goblin Slayer
    It was long.
[08:07] Guild Girl
    What?
[08:08] Goblin Slayer
    It was a fish.
[08:09] Guild Girl
    Yes... Of course.
[08:12] Goblin Slayer
    We'll now divide up our reward.
[08:14] Goblin Slayer
    Take whatever you want. We'll turn
    the rest into gold and split that.
[08:18] Goblin Slayer
    Does that work?
[08:18] Lizardman Priest
    I believe so.
[08:20] Dwarf Shaman
    Those gillmen were quite generous.
[08:25] High Elf Archer
    And this is exactly why people
    think dwarves are greedy.
[08:28] Dwarf Shaman
    Oh, shut it. Of course you wouldn't
    realize the value of this, long-ears.
[08:32] Dwarf Shaman
    Ain't that right, Scaly?
[08:33] Lizardman Priest
    For me, I would say this
    is the greatest reward.
[08:37] Priestess
    That's a gem, isn't it?
[08:39] Lizardman Priest
    Indeed.
[08:40] Lizardman Priest
    This is the jaw of a great dragon that
    has spent years turning into agate.
[08:47] High Elf Archer
    Then I'll take...
[08:49] High Elf Archer
    This!
[08:50] Dwarf Shaman
    What're you gonna do with that?
[08:51] High Elf Archer
    I figured I'd send it to my sister.
[08:53] High Elf Archer
    Things from the sea are
    extremely rare back home.
[08:56] Priestess
    In that case, I'll take these pearls.
[08:59] Priestess
    I want to offer these to the Earth Mother.
[09:01] Dwarf Shaman
    I'll be taking this helix.
    It'll work great as a catalyst.
[09:05] Dwarf Shaman
    What about you, Beard-cutter?
[09:07] Goblin Slayer
    Me?
[09:13] Goblin Slayer
    I...
[09:18] Cow Girl
    Go on. Eat up.
[09:20] Goblin Slayer
    I have a gift for you.
[09:21] Cow Girl
    A gift... Wait, what? No way.
[09:24] Goblin Slayer
    I do.
[09:26] Goblin Slayer
    Found it.
[09:28] Cow Girl
    What is it?
[09:29] Goblin Slayer
    A seashell.
[09:32] Cow Girl
    Wait, I can really have this?
[09:34] Cow Girl
    You had a quest out at sea?
[09:36] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah.
[09:44] Cow Girl
    Thank you! I'll take good care of it!
[09:47] Cow Girl
    I promise I won't lose it.
[09:49] Goblin Slayer
    I see.
[10:02] Sword Maiden
    I've come.
[10:10] Goblin Slayer
    Goblins?
[10:11] Sword Maiden
    Yes. Please help...
[10:14] Sword Maiden
    No...
[10:16] Sword Maiden
    Will you slay them?
[10:18] Goblin Slayer
    Of course.
[10:24] Sword Maiden
    She takes care of me.
    She is also my bodyguard...
[10:28] Sword Maiden
    though I told her that was unnecessary.
[10:30] Female Cleric
    You are quite skilled, but it's
    always dangerous to leave you alone.
[10:35] Female Cleric
    I have no other choice.
[10:37] Sword Maiden
    Ugh.
[10:38] Sword Maiden
    Ahem...
[10:39] Sword Maiden
    So the goblins have been appearing...
[10:42] Sword Maiden
    on this highway, from here, Water Town,
    through this town, and into the capital.
[10:47] Goblin Slayer
    A highway...
[10:49] Sword Maiden
    I'm just so... so terrified...
[10:52] Sword Maiden
    I just... can't go through.
[10:56] Goblin Slayer
    How many? Any nests?
    Any other information on the goblins?
[10:59] Sword Maiden
    According to eyewitness accounts
    we've heard, there are around twenty.
[11:03] Sword Maiden
    They all have matching tattoos.
    I haven't heard anything about their nests.
[11:08] Sword Maiden
    They ride wolves.
[11:11] Goblin Slayer
    I see.
[11:12] Female Cleric
    The archbishop must participate in the
    meeting that will be held in the capital.
[11:18] Female Cleric
    That's why this request isn't
    specifically to slay the goblins,
[11:21] Female Cleric
    but to act as her bodyguard.
[11:23] Goblin Slayer
    They're probably wanderers without a nest.
[11:27] Goblin Slayer
    A wandering tribe. If I just kill
    them all when we run into them,
[11:31] Goblin Slayer
    it'll all be over.
[11:32] Female Cleric
    I believe that any other adventurer would
    do since we're just dealing with goblins...
[11:38] Female Cleric
    But the archbishop absolutely insists
    that it be you who accompanies her.
[11:43] Sword Maiden
    Well, he's the most trustworthy
    gentleman that I know.
[11:47] Goblin Slayer
    I'm going to call... my comrades.
    Wait a while.
[11:53] Sword Maiden
    The reward is a bag of gold,
    and it will be paid up front.
[11:56] Sword Maiden
    Once we get to our destination,
    you will get another bag.
[11:58] Dwarf Shaman
    Not bad. Taking a long journey to
    admire the capital might be all right.
[12:04] High Elf Archer
    R-Right... The capital... The capital, huh?
[12:08] High Elf Archer
    I guess I did want to go there at least once.
[12:14] Goblin Slayer
    Stop the carriage.
[12:15] Lizardman Priest
    As you command.
[12:17] Goblin Slayer
    Wait a moment.
[12:25] Dwarf Shaman
    Beard-cutter sure is diligent.
[12:34] Sword Maiden
    Pardon.
[12:35] Priestess
    Yes?
[12:36] Sword Maiden
    Um... Who is he talking to?
[12:40] Priestess
    Um... The farm girl whom
    Goblin Slayer lives with.
[12:45] Sword Maiden
    I see.
[12:50] Goblin Slayer
    I'm done.
[12:51] Priestess
    Oh, right!
[12:53] Lizardman Priest
    Then let us continue on our way.
[13:14] Sword Maiden
    Good evening.
[13:17] Goblin Slayer
    You're not going to sleep?
[13:19] Sword Maiden
    I've been able to sleep well since the
    incident, so I wanted to thank you...
[13:25] Goblin Slayer
    But you're clearly awake.
[13:26] Sword Maiden
    That's just because—
[13:29] Sword Maiden
    You're so mean.
[13:32] Goblin Slayer
    I am?
[13:33] Sword Maiden
    Goblins didn't appear.
[13:36] Goblin Slayer
    This carriage is being guarded
    by a group that's armed.
[13:39] Goblin Slayer
    It'd be too much trouble for
    them to attack up-front.
[13:43] Goblin Slayer
    They'll probably try tonight
    or tomorrow morning.
[13:51] Goblin Slayer
    Sleep.
[13:53] Goblin Slayer
    Close your eyes, and once you
    open them, it'll be morning.
[13:58] Sword Maiden
    You make it sound so easy.
[14:01] Goblin Slayer
    I know that it's difficult.
[14:04] Goblin Slayer
    When I was a child, I tried to see
    how long I needed to close my eyes
[14:08] Goblin Slayer
    in bed before it became morning.
[14:28] Priestess
    Lady Archbishop? And Goblin Slayer?
[14:33] Priestess
    Um... Is something the matter?
[14:37] Goblin Slayer
    She woke up.
[14:39] Sword Maiden
    I'd appreciate it if you didn't
    make me sound like some child!
[14:45] Priestess
    What?
[14:46] Sword Maiden
    I just had trouble sleeping, that's all.
[14:49] Sword Maiden
    Is everything all right with you?
[14:51] Priestess
    I just got a little thirsty,
    so I was getting some water.
[14:55] Goblin Slayer
    I see.
[15:08] Priestess
    I'll go wake everyone up.
[15:13] Goblin Slayer
    Don't let them notice you.
[15:14] Priestess
    I won't.
[15:21] Goblin Slayer
    Return to the carriage.
[15:22] Sword Maiden
    Huh?
[15:24] Goblin Slayer
    Its dangerous.
[15:27] Goblin Slayer
    Lock the door and wait.
[15:35] Sword Maiden
    All right. I'll be waiting for you.
[15:40] Female Cleric
    Is something the matter?
[15:44] Sword Maiden
    Goblins have arrived.
[15:48] Sword Maiden
    Please... don't let them get away alive.
[16:21] Goblin Slayer
    Tch.
[16:27] Goblin Slayer
    That's two.
[16:28] Goblin Slayer
    Don't let them escape. Kill them all.
[16:33] Dwarf Shaman
    I see. No wonder carriages and such don't
    stand a chance when they're attacked.
[16:38] Dwarf Shaman
    Get over here! It's dangerous!
[16:40] Priestess
    Oh, right. I'm sorry.
[16:42] Priestess
    I think we might be better off
    with slings than with miracles.
[16:46] Dwarf Shaman
    Right. If you use Holy Light,
    this lot'll probably go running off.
[16:58] Goblin Slayer
    That's twelve.
[16:59] Lizardman Priest
    Being on the defensive doesn't
    seem to suit me well.
[17:03] Goblin Slayer
    Agreed. Can you move around them?
[17:05] Lizardman Priest
    I do not believe that "cannot"
    is in our vocabulary.
[17:10] Lizardman Priest
    I will be taking my leave.
[17:17] Priestess
    Goblin Slayer!
[17:18] Goblin Slayer
    We're going to make an anvil.
[17:21] Priestess
    Huh?
[17:22] High Elf Archer
    What?!
[17:22] High Elf Archer
    Hey, listen here, Orcbolg!
[17:24] Goblin Slayer
    We're going to strengthen our guard.
    Hurry and use Protection.
[17:26] Priestess
    Oh, r-right.
[17:28] Goblin Slayer
    You guard the other side.
[17:29] Goblin Slayer
    I'll handle things here.
[17:31] Dwarf Shaman
    You got it...
    But I shouldn't be on the front lines.
[17:34] High Elf Archer
    You're really pissing me off!
[17:38] High Elf Archer
    You'd better apologize to me later!
[17:40] Goblin Slayer
    I don't follow.
[17:41] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother,
[17:43] Priestess
    please protect us, the weak,
    with the powers of the earth.
[18:06] Lizardman Priest
    Ah, I see.
[18:08] Lizardman Priest
    A hammer and anvil.
[18:13] Priestess
    Are we just going to surround
    them and crush them?
[18:16] Goblin Slayer
    Exactly.
[18:18] Goblin Slayer
    We're going to slay all of the goblins.
[18:26] Goblin Slayer
    Are you done?
[18:27] Priestess
    Y-Yes.
[18:29] Goblin Slayer
    How many?
[18:31] Goblin Slayer
    How many did these goblins get?
[18:33] Priestess
    Um...
[18:35] Sword Maiden
    I believe I remember hearing
    it was a group of five or six.
[18:39] Goblin Slayer
    I see. Shut the window.
[18:46] High Elf Archer
    Ew... Uh, what are you doing?
[18:49] Goblin Slayer
    I'm going to check.
[18:51] Lizardman Priest
    Sir Goblin Slayer, I will assist you.
[18:54] Goblin Slayer
    Thanks.
[19:02] Goblin Slayer
    We're missing some.
[19:04] Goblin Slayer
    What do you think?
[19:05] Lizardman Priest
    The likelihood that they're
    keeping them somewhere else...
[19:08] Lizardman Priest
    is probably low.
[19:09] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah. They're a wandering tribe.
[19:12] Goblin Slayer
    They should be wandering
    around with their captives.
[19:14] Dwarf Shaman
    Which must mean...
[19:16] Priestess
    ...that there are even more of them?
[19:30] Priestess
    This is amazing.
[19:31] High Elf Archer
    This place is probably older than I am.
[19:33] Dwarf Shaman
    You must really like it up there, huh?
[19:37] High Elf Archer
    Well, we need to be on
    guard in all directions.
[19:40] High Elf Archer
    Right, Orcbolg?
[19:42] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah.
[19:44] High Elf Archer
    Ugh... Why'd you rip that off of them?
[19:47] Goblin Slayer
    There might be remnants or even
    commanders left of this tribe.
[19:52] Goblin Slayer
    It looks like a hand,
    but I'm not completely sure.
[19:56] Goblin Slayer
    You'll be left behind.
[19:58] Priestess
    I-I know!
[20:01] Priestess
    I know, okay?
[20:06] Dwarf Shaman
    Welp...
[20:08] Dwarf Shaman
    This is gonna take a while.
[20:21] High Elf Archer
    I guess that's why it's taking so long.
[20:24] High Elf Archer
    The king must've been
    absent from the capital.
[20:27] High Elf Archer
    I wonder if something happened.
[20:28] Goblin Slayer
    Taxes.
[20:29] Goblin Slayer
    It's around the time they get collected.
[20:31] Goblin Slayer
    In places that don't have a governor
    or seem like an uprising may occur,
[20:34] Goblin Slayer
    the king appears personally.
[20:36] High Elf Archer
    Huh... You seem pretty
    knowledgeable about this.
[20:38] Goblin Slayer
    I'm from a farming village.
[20:43] Soldier
    Halt. Present your identification.
[20:48] Soldier
    Now write your name and purpose here.
[20:50] Priestess
    Um, okay.
[20:52] Priestess
    Um...
[20:53] Priestess
    Would "bodyguard duty" suffice?
[20:56] Soldier
    If you're adventurers, yes.
[20:58] Soldier
    I see there's also a dwarf,
    an elf, and a lizardman.
[21:01] Soldier
    This goes for you, as well.
[21:02] Soldier
    And who are you?
[21:04] Goblin Slayer
    An adventurer.
[21:08] Soldier
    Silver-ranked?
[21:09] Soldier
    This had better not be a fake.
[21:11] Goblin Slayer
    The guild acknowledges me.
[21:13] Sword Maiden
    In the name of the Supreme God...
[21:16] Sword Maiden
    I vouch that he is indeed
    a silver-ranked adventurer.
[21:20] Soldier
    L-Lady Archbishop!
[21:22] Soldier
    I-I beg your pardon.
[21:24] Soldier
    Please go through.
[21:26] Sword Maiden
    Paperwork is paperwork.
[21:28] Sword Maiden
    Would you mind handing me the ledger, as well?
[21:30] Soldier
    Y-Yes, ma'am! Right away!
[21:32] Soldier
    Come on, you! Hurry up and write!
[21:34] Goblin Slayer
    All right.
[21:43] Priestess
    This is my first time here.
[21:45] Priestess
    Is it yours as well, Goblin Slayer?
[21:47] Goblin Slayer
    It is.
[21:49] Goblin Slayer
    I wish I could've brought my sister here.
[21:54] Priestess
    You may get a similar opportunity someday.
[21:57] Goblin Slayer
    I hope so.
