[00:01] Lizardman Priest
    Now, then... What's rather curious...
[00:03] Lp
    is this.
[00:05] Priestess
    Could this be an object of worship?
[00:08] Lp
    I don't think we should
    touch it so carelessly...
[00:11] P
    I agree, but we must investigate it.
[00:19] Goblin slayer
    Get ready.
[00:28] Gs
    Goblins?
[00:30] P
    What could this be?
[00:33] Lp
    I believe this is the goblins' home.
[00:37] High elf archer
    Look over there! That's the boat
     we saw the other day.
[00:42] HEA
    Maybe that's how the goblins
    are getting here.
[00:47] Dwarf shaman
    So this must be an ancient artifact
    capable of producing a Gate.
[00:52] DS
    A magical mirror that can
    invoke lost spells...
[00:57] Ds
    I can't even imagine how valuable this is.
[01:01] HEA
    So someone's been summoning
    the goblins with this...
[01:04] Ds
    ...then giving them weapons and
    having them live down here.
[01:08] Lp
    And having that creature protect the mirror.
[01:14] P
    What shall we do, Goblin Slayer?
[01:27] Gs
    So it was goblins.
[01:36] Lp
    I'm sure that explosion shook the entire place.
[01:53] Lp
    If this is where the goblins are entering
    and exiting, we can't overlook it.
[01:58] Ds
    So they're going to come reclaim it.
[02:02] Hea
    Oh, come on!
[02:04] Hea
    Give us a break already!
[02:06] P
    Goblin Slayer...
[02:21] Gs
    What...
[02:24] Gs
    What's in my pocket?
[02:33] Gs
    Don't worry.
[02:35] Gs
    There's no problem.
SIGN    There and Back Again
[04:22] Gs
    Can you do this?
[04:24] Hea
    Of course I can.
[04:25] Hea
    Worry about yourself. Don't get thrown
    into a wall like you did last time.
[04:29] Gs
    I plan not to.
[04:31] LP
    Goblin Slayer, the preparations are complete.
[04:34] DS
    Though it's sort of improvised...
[04:37] Gs
    That's plenty. How are things over there?
[04:39] P
    Yes, I'm ready.
[04:42] Gs
    Good. How many spells do we have left?
[04:44] P
    Um... I have one left.
[04:47] GS
    Save it. There'll be a proper time to use it.
[04:50] P
    All right.
[04:51] Lp
    I have two left.
[04:52] Lp
    If I don't summon the dragontooth warrior
    again, it'll be a total of three,
[04:56] Lp
    but I doubt you'd like for me to save that.
[04:59] GS
    Correct. Give it a shield and
    have it protect the girl.
[05:03] Lp
    Understood.
[05:05] Lp
    Would you like me to attend to the mirror?
[05:08] Gs
    Yes.
[05:16] DS
    I probably have about two more left myself.
[05:18] Gs
    Save them. They'll be our trump card.
[05:22] Ds
    Then I guess I'll assist you
    until it's time to use them.
[05:26] Hea
    We're pretty lucky...
[05:29] Hea
    We somehow have three spell casters.
[05:31] Ds
    Huh, I guess even long-ears has it in her
    not to be bratty when it comes down to it.
[05:35] Hea
    How rude! I'm never bratty!
[05:43] HEA
    So, what do you want me to do?
[05:45] GS
    Draw them in and then take them down.
[05:47] GS
    Lure in as many as you can.
[05:51] HEA
    I feel like you're asking a bit much, but...
[05:54] HEA
    Fine.
[05:57] HEA
    I'll do it.
[06:06] DS
    At least you won't have
    to aim too carefully now.
[06:19] Gs
    One.
[06:20] DS
    Beard-cutter! Shoot all you want!
    Best to take out as many as possible!
[06:24] Gs
    That's the plan.
[06:26] Gs
    That's two.
[06:28] Gs
    Three.
[06:31] GS
    Eight.
[06:36] HEA
    Their numbers are making this tough!
[06:40] DS
    Looks like we let too many through.
[06:41] P
    Coming from the right!
[06:42] HEA
    Leave it to me!
[06:43] P
    Three from the left! Four from the right!
[06:45] HEA
    Yeah, yeah.
[07:09] HEA
    Well, aren't you adorable?
[07:11] P
    I-Is it?
[07:13] LP
    You honor me with your praise.
[07:17] LP
    But...
[07:18] Lp
    How in the world is this mirror attached?
[07:24] LP
    O proud and strange brontosaurus,
[07:28] LP
    grant me the strength of ten thousand!
[07:45] P
    There's a huge one coming!
[07:46] Gs
    I'll take care of it.
[07:48] Gs
    Don't move away from the altar.
[07:49] DS
    You got it.
[07:52] GS
    Nineteen! Twenty!
[07:56] Gs
    Twenty-one!
[08:06] HEA
    Yes! Orcbolg, I need some arrows!
[08:13] GS
    Pass them on.
[08:14] DS
    You got it!
[08:16] DS
    Here ya go.
[08:18] HEA
    Yes.
[08:19] P
    Look out!
[08:24] DS
    Ugh... You done yet, Scaly?
[08:27] LP
    Just a little more...
[08:29] P
    I'll help you.
[08:30] LP
    I thank you.
[08:33] GS
    Do you still need more time?
[08:38] Gs
    Damn your brute strength.
[08:45] HEA
    Orcbolg!
[08:47] DS
    He's purposely luring it
    into the goblin mob.
[08:50] HEA
    Jeez, you're unbelievable.
[08:54] DS
    Hey, long-ears, can't you
    shoot a few more of them?
[09:02] HEA
    Shut it! Get me some better arrows, then!
[09:04] DS
    Why don't you just throw some rocks?
[09:07] HEA
    No way!
[09:08] LP
    Just one more push!
[09:21] P
    Goblin Slayer!
[09:22] GS
    Face the mirror upward and get under it!
[09:25] LP
    Understood!
[09:34] LP
    He's coming!
[09:36] GS
    Shoot a big one! Upward!
[09:37] DS
    Upward? You got it!
[09:41] Dwarf shaman
    Time to work, you gnomes!
[09:43] Dwarf shaman
    Roll bits of sand together,
    and it shall become rock!
[09:50] HEA
    Orcbolg, over here!
[09:51] GS
    Thanks.
[09:56] P
    Goblin Slayer!
[09:57] GS
    We need light!
[09:58] P
    Right.
[09:59] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother, please bless us,
[10:02] Priestess
    the wanderers in the
    darkness, with holy light!
[10:08] DS
    Stone Blast!
[10:11] GS
    Bring it down!
[10:12] DS
    Jeez...
[10:14] DS
    Spin the buckets, gnomes! Make them
    spin and spin and let them go!
[10:17] GS
    Now that...
[10:18] DS
    Falling Control!
[10:24] Gs
    ...makes fifty and three.
[10:56] HEA
    Jeez... What were you thinking, Orcbolg?!
[11:00] P
    That startled me...
[11:02] HEA
    Startled you? That's it?
[11:04] P
    I mean... I think I'm just
    getting used to all this.
[11:09] HEA
    Jeez...
[11:10] LP
    Good heavens... Thank goodness we
    had the Gate mirror right above us.
[11:15] LP
    We were fortunate that it absorbed most
    of the rubble, but it proved rather heavy.
[11:20] DS
    Well, you definitely did most
    of the work back there, Scaly.
[11:24] DS
    But I almost feel bad for
    the ones on the other side.
[11:29] DS
    Maybe this is how people got around
    way back when, eh, Beard-cutter?
[11:36] GS
    I'm not interested.
[11:38] P
    We're very lucky we weren't
    underneath the city.
[11:42] GS
    If we were under the city,
    I would've thought of another plan.
[11:46] GS
    Hey.
[11:47] HEA
    What?
[11:49] GS
    No fire, no water, no poison,
     and no explosions.
[11:53] HEA
    Orcbolg...
[11:55] GS
    What?
[12:01] P
    Goblin Slayer?
[12:18] Sword Maiden
    I'm glad you're safe.
[12:22] GS
    I've come to ask you something.
[12:23] SM
    Yes, what is it?
[12:26] SM
    I will be happy to give you an answer if I can.
[12:29] GS
    You know everything, don't you?
[12:33] SM
    Yes. You're exactly right.
[12:36] GS
    I see.
[12:38] SM
    How did you figure it out?
[12:41] GS
    I didn't.
[12:43] GS
    I intended to ask everyone
    who was in a position to know.
[12:47] SM
    Everyone?
[12:50] SM
    Oh... I see.
[12:54] SM
    Perhaps I shouldn't have
    been so forthcoming, then.
[12:59] SM
    But I can't say I'm disappointed
    that you asked me first.
[13:06] SM
    May I ask why you suspected me?
[13:10] GS
    There are several reasons.
[13:12] GS
    That white... What was it called?
[13:15] SM
    Alligator?
[13:16] GS
    Yeah, I think that's what it was called.
[13:20] GS
    I don't believe that was a random encounter.
[13:24] SM
    So you're suggesting that it was planned?
[13:27] Gs
    At least to the extent that
    it tried to chase us away,
[13:31] Gs
    and it also attacked the goblins.
[13:35] SM
    That seems a bit paranoid.
[13:39] GS
    Despite how elaborate these ruins are,
    you have no precise maps,
[13:43] GS
    nor any rat-killing quests,
    and adventurers avoid the place entirely.
[13:48] GS
    That'd be impossible without any patrols.
[13:51] SM
    You seem rather knowledgeable
    about adventurers.
[13:56] GS
    Though I'm not an adventurer.
[13:59] GS
    That would mean something
    was guarding the place.
[14:05] GS
    That thing is a familiar.
[14:08] GS
    Is it a guardian beast
    protecting the sewers?
[14:11] SM
    Ironic, don't you think?
[14:14] SM
    To think that the messenger of
    the Supreme God should protect
[14:17] SM
    the city and the city alone.
[14:18] GS
    You should've known.
[14:21] GS
    Killing women, ripping out
    entrails on the spot,
[14:25] GS
    then leaving the corpse there...
[14:27] GS
    Those aren't things goblins do.
[14:30] SM
    Indeed.
[14:39] SM
    They bring their prey back to
    their nest to toy with them.
[14:43] SM
    They won't kill them quickly.
[14:52] SM
    They were plotting something
    using that mirror.
[14:56] SM
    They are minions of the Demon Lord.
[14:59] SM
    The mastermind...
[15:02] Sm
    no longer exists in this world.
[15:04] SM
    They were disposed of in a completely
    different place... by the Hero.
[15:11] SM
    But...
[15:13] SM
    But if the goblins were to attack,
[15:16] SM
    I would just break down in tears.
[15:22] SM
    I had heard about them
    moving under the city.
[15:25] Sm
    I also knew that the sect was
    plotting their revenge against me.
[15:31] Sm
    I would have been able to endure that.
[15:35] Sm
    But...
[15:37] SM
    Who could I have asked?
[15:39] SM
    The hero known as the Sword Maiden,
[15:42] Sm
    asking for protection from mere goblins?
[15:46] SM
    No one would believe me...
[15:51] SM
    What do you plan to do with me?
[15:54] Gs
    Nothing.
[15:57] GS
    Because you're not a goblin.
[16:00] SM
    Is that why you're not going to ask why?
[16:05] GS
    If you want to tell me, I'll listen.
[16:09] SM
    I wanted someone to understand.
[16:17] Sm
    How scared, how hard...
    how painful and terrifying...
[16:22] Sm
    Something so horrible could
    happen in this world.
[16:25] SM
    There are creatures in this world
    that could commit such atrocities.
[16:30] SM
    I just wanted people to understand that...
[16:33] SM
    But in the end, no one did.
[16:38] SM
    You may have that Gate mirror, if you'd like.
[16:43] SM
    You must understand...
[16:45] SM
    Of all people, you must understand...
[16:49] GS
    I got rid of it.
[16:51] SM
    What?
[16:52] SM
    That was an ancient relic,
    a priceless treasure worth thousands...
[16:56] GS
    There's no guarantee that the other
    goblins won't learn how to use it.
[17:00] GS
    We encased the mirror in concrete
    and sank it in the canal.
[17:04] GS
    It'll make a good bed for...
    What was it again? That white thing.
[17:11] SM
    You never cease to amaze me...
[17:16] SM
    I daresay you might be unstoppable.
[17:19] GS
    Perhaps.
[17:20] SM
    May I ask you something, as well?
[17:24] GS
    I can't promise you an answer.
[17:26] SM
    Has something changed since you
    started slaying the goblins?
[17:32] GS
    Something?
[17:34] SM
    If the Hero is able to slay the Demon Lord,
[17:37] SM
    I'm sure the world will be saved.
[17:42] SM
    But if the fifteen-year-old girl
    who was attacked by the goblins
[17:47] SM
    is still looking for salvation,
[17:51] Sm
    no one would even notice.
[17:56] SM
    No matter how many goblins
    are slain, nothing...
[17:59] SM
    Nothing changes.
[18:02] GS
    And I think that's fine.
[18:05] GS
    You said you went through something horrible.
[18:09] SM
    Yes.
[18:10] GS
    I saw it happen, from start to finish.
[18:14] SM
    Then—
[18:15] GS
    So I don't know exactly how you feel.
[18:23] SM
    So you're not going to save me?
[18:27] GS
    No.
[18:32] GS
    But...
[18:34] GS
    If any more goblins appear, call for me.
[18:37] GS
    I'll kill the goblins for you.
[18:45] SM
    Even... Even in my dreams?
[18:50] GS
    Yeah.
[18:51] SM
    You will come?
[18:55] GS
    Yeah. Because I'm the Goblin Slayer.
[19:02] SM
    I-I...
[19:08] SM
    I cherish you...
[19:23] GS
    I'm done.
[19:27] P
    Thank you for reporting back to her.
[19:38] HEA
    Man, that was fun.
[19:41] DS
    You were the one crying like a baby
    after the goblins surrounded you.
[19:44] DS
    You're one to talk.
[19:46] HEA
    Oh, come on. We survived and won.
[19:49] HEA
    We even got paid.
[19:51] LP
    I cannot help but feel that the
    Gate mirror went to waste, though.
[19:56] LP
    But we gathered valuable information,
[19:57] LP
    destroyed a heresy,
    and did many valorous deeds.
[20:00] LP
    I must say that I am overall
    satisfied with our work.
[20:04] DS
    I've got no complaints as long as I get to
    eat something delicious with this money.
[20:08] HEA
    All you dwarves care about is food.
[20:26] P
    Good work, Goblin Slayer.
[20:29] GS
    When we get back...
[20:31] P
    Jeez... If you're awake, just say so.
[20:35] GS
    I just woke up.
[20:37] P
    I can't tell because you always
    have that helmet on.
[20:40] GS
    I see.
[20:47] GS
    When we get back, there's
    something I want to try.
[20:50] P
    Something you want to try?
[20:52] GS
    Ice treats.
[20:54] LP
    Ice treats?
[20:55] LP
    Could I join you in tasting
    this ice treat you speak of?
[20:59] GS
    If you want some, sure.
[21:01] GS
    It's made with milk.
[21:03] LP
    Oh, sweet nectar!
[21:06] P
    Oh, s-sorry about that!
[21:08] P
    It's nothing to worry about.
[21:10] DS
    Come now, Beard-cutter.
[21:12] DS
    How could you not rely on this dwarf
    with matters involving food?
[21:15] GS
    Should I?
[21:17] DS
    Of course!
[21:18] GS
    Then I guess I'll rely on you.
[21:21] DS
    So, how are you going to make it?
[21:24] GS
    Apparently, you go like this.
[21:25] LP
    Sir Goblin Slayer, if you
    need to spin something,
[21:28] LP
    I believe something that uses a pedal to
    spin the object would be most effective.
[21:32] GS
    I see. You have a point.
[21:34] P
    Goblin Slayer, I can have some, too, right?
[21:38] GS
    Sure.
[21:45] GS
    What about you?
[21:48] HEA
    I guess I'll have some.
[21:50] GS
    I see. Don't kick me if
    it doesn't turn out right.
[21:54] HEA
    Jeez, okay, fine! I won't kick you!
[21:58] HEA
    I won't kick you, so give me some!
[22:00] HEA
    Are you satisfied?
[22:02] GS
    Yeah.
