Goblin Slayer (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
When I was a child,
I thought I'd grow up
to become an adventurer.
I'd leave my village
and fight the monsters
that were tormenting people.
Eventually, I'd become strong
enough to defeat even dragons.
I'd become a hero,
a platinum-ranked adventurer.
Right. Once this is over,
I want us to go to a festival,
back in the village,
all three of us.
Everyone has wishes like that,
things that we want
to accomplish,
people we want to see again.
To make sure
all those wishes come true,
that's why we're fighting!
[FEMALE HERO]
We can't lose this battle!
We have to save the world!
[GOBLIN SLAYER] Even if
I couldn't become a hero...
I thought someday I'd travel
afar as an adventurer.
If only I could leave behind
the older sister
who had raised me
all on her own.

[COWGIRL]
Hey! I'm gonna go into the city.
One of the cows
on my uncle's farm
is giving birth
and I wanna be there.
After that,
I even get to go shopping!
I can't wait to see what
they have at all the stores!
My mom even gave me money
to buy something!
I wonder what all
I should get.
Is there anything
you want me to look for?
-I'd love to buy you a gift--
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] No.
Oh, are you sure?
There's gotta be--
I just told you,
I don't want anything.
You don't have to be
mean about it.
I just wanted
to do something special
since you've never been
to the city before.
'Cause that's what friends do.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Shut up!
Just go to the city
or whatever it is you're doing.
-Why are you so angry?
-I'm not angry!
[COWGIRL]
Yes, you are!
-[GOBLIN SLAYER crying]
-[SISTER] You must've envied her
when she said
she was going to the city, huh?
Still, you shouldn't have
gotten so angry with her.
You have to protect
those smaller than you.
Did you know,
if you envy others,
you'll become a goblin.
-Really? A goblin?
-[SISTER] Yes.
If all you ever do is dwell
on what you don't have,
your heart and body will warp
into something ugly,
and you'll take your anger
out on other people.
So, later on, let's make sure
you apologize to her, okay?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
That night,
my sister cooked
my favorite stew,
a hearty dish made
with chicken and milk.
It was so delicious,
I ate bowl after bowl.
But now, I can't even
remember how it tasted,
because...
[birds singing]
[bed creaks]
...I haven't eaten it
since that day.
[footsteps approach]
-[COWGIRL] Good morning!
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Morning.
It looks like today's
going to be a pretty hot one.
No surprise, I guess.
It is summer.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yeah.
-Oh, wow! I'm starving!
Well, I think my uncle's awake.
-Let's have breakfast.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] All right.
[COWGIRL humming]
[sighs]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Good morning, sir.
Morning.
You do the usual patrols?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Yes, there were no issues.
I really don't understand
why you worry so much.
And anyway, I heard the Hero
defeated the Demon Lord.
The monsters are bound
to start calming down now.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] They won't.
-[UNCLE] Hmm.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
At least, goblins won't.
You sound pretty sure
about that.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yes.
-There! Finally ready.
It took a little longer
than I thought it would,
but here's everything.
Let's eat!
I have some deliveries to make
after we eat breakfast.
[GOBLIN SLAYER] I'll go, too.
I need to stop by the guild.
[COWGIRL] Great.
It'll be nice to go together.
[UNCLE] Are you heading
into town to find another quest?
[GOBLIN SLAYER] That, too,
but I also need to get
my gear repaired and pick up
my other set of armor.
[UNCLE]
All right then.
[humming]
[UNCLE]
Be careful out there.
I don't want her getting hurt.
[COWGIRL humming]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I'll do my best.
[horse whinnies]
[COWGIRL grunts]
You said you were going to stop
by the guild today, right?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Yeah.
I've got an errand
of my own to run
after I finish these deliveries,
so do you want to plan
on meeting up
a little later in the day
-and head home together?
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Okay.
Wow, you're pale!
First time outdoors?
Definitely your first time here.
-So, Pasty, you new?
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] No.
[SPEARMAN] Then, just dropping
in on a day off or something?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Something like that.
Gotcha. Well, if you were
actually looking to make money
as an adventurer right now,
you'd be heading over
to the capital.
A fair bit of the Demon
Lord's army is still there.
Just stragglers. It's pretty
easy work for decent pay.
-You're not going, either?
-Oh, no. Not me. Please.
I don't see the point in
going up against weak opponents.
When I fight,
I fight for myself, for glory?
Not for money
or the greater good.
-And besides--
-Of course.
Please line up
in an orderly fashion,
and I'll be happy
to help you all.
Well, I've got personal reasons.
I'm a real warrior, not some
two-bit hack in a rusty helmet.
-Is that how it is?
-Absolutely, friend.
All right.
Got some ruins to explore.
I'm off.
Wish me luck on my quest.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER grunts]
-[SPEARMAN chuckles]
[SPEARMAN]
The strong, silent type, huh?
Good. I don't like big talkers.
No quests.
-Bye, dear.
-Goodbye.
[BLACKSMITH]
I had some extra time,
so I fixed up
the smaller bits, too.
How's it feel?
[grunts]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
It's fine.
[BLACKSMITH] Now, let's see
what we've got here.
Good grief!
How'd your armor get so damaged
just from fighting goblins?
[GOBLIN SLAYER] Were you able
to get me a scroll?
Not like I get people comin' in
looking to sell those every day.
Have a little patience, will ya?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
All right.
-Hmm?
-[door creaks]
Um, Master, that man,
he's a silver-ranked
adventurer, right?
[BLACKSMITH]
Yeah, that's what I've heard.
So, why does he wear
all that armor?
A light chain mail
would make it a lot easier
to sneak up on enemies.
-You really don't know, do you?
-[APPRENTICE] Know what?
And another thing,
wouldn't he be better off
trying to find a magical sword
than a scroll?
[BLACKSMITH]
Think about it.
Only an idiot would wave around
a legendary magical sword
at some goblins.
He's silver-ranked for a reason.
That man knows exactly
what he's doing.
-[WARRIORS yelling]
-[scoffs]
-[WARRIOR grunts]
-Aah!
[WARRIORS groaning]
[SWORDSMAN]
Come on, what's the matter?
At this rate,
even a goblin could take you.
[groans] Damn it!
Let's try again.
-You go around the right.
-Yeah, I'm on it!
Well, it's always good
to have a plan.
Maybe don't say it
out loud, though.
[shouts]
-Nice try!
-[GIRLS giggle]
[KNIGHT] Glad to see you're
still standing, Goblin Slayer.
I heard that Water Town
quest nearly did you in.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yeah.
-Tell me.
Do you wear full armor
everywhere you go?
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yeah.
-Okay.
[GOBLIN SLAYER] I didn't realize
that greenhorn warrior
was a member of your party.
Ah, we were sparring
with our own youngling
and noticed
that he was staring,
so we thought
we'd let him join in.
An adventurer's skill with
the sword is mostly self-taught.
Even a little formal training
can mean the difference
between life and death.
But of course, since the boys
are getting a lesson,
it's only fair I teach those
girls a thing or two as well.
Huh, that big brute looks like
he's starting to tire already.
So, that's my cue to step in.
-[panting]
-It's my turn now!
You're always bragging about
your superior swordsmanship,
so I'm sure you'll be up
for the challenge.
[SWORDSMAN]
Wha...?
And you call yourself
a paladin candidate?
Enough talking!
[grunts]
This isn't effective
training for anyone!
[scoffs]
-Thanks!
-I thought we were gonna die.
[SWORDSMAN grunts]
Not holding back, are ya?
-[KNIGHT laughs]
-[SWORDSMAN grunts]
-[BOTH grunting]
-[swords clang]
[voices murmuring]
[door creaks open]
-[door creaks closed]
-Hmm?
[chuckles softly]
[sighs]
[PRIESTESS] Goblin Slayer!
What are you doing here?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
My armor needed some repairs.
[PRIESTESS]
You should've said something!
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I didn't see the need to.
[PRIESTESS sighs]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
How's your shoulder feeling?
Huh? Oh, right, my shoulder.
Much better now, thanks.
They cast a healing spell on me,
so it's as good as new.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] I'm glad.
-Me too.
[GUILD GIRL]
Hello, Goblin Slayer.
How was the quest
in Water Town?
[GOBLIN SLAYER] It's taken
care of, no major problems.
No major problems?
What are you talking about?
-You nearly died on that quest!
-[GUILD GIRL gasps]
Oh no! Well, are you okay now?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Yes. I'm fine.
[GUILD GIRL] Did you have your
wounds properly tended to?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I did, thanks.
♪
-Um, I, uh...
-Is anything the matter?
[PRIESTESS]
No. Nothing.
Just thinking, that's all.
[GUILD GIRL gasps]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
What did you need?
-Do you have a quest for me?
-A quest?
No, there's
nothing today, sorry.
I came over to give you this.
An adventurer dropped by
and asked me
to pass it along to you.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] I see. Thanks.
-Of course.
Delivering correspondence
is my responsibility.
Do you have friends or family
living in Water Town?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
No.
It's likely from the one
who gave us the quest.
[GUILD GIRL] Oh, That makes
sense. You're probably right.
[PRIESTESS]
Does he mean the Sword Maiden?
She gave us the quest
and now wrote
Goblin Slayer a letter?
-But why?
-[SHAMAN exclaims]
Well, if it isn't Beard-Cutter.
I didn't know you were here.
It's polite
to at least say hello
if you're going to be
stopping by, Orcbolg.
It appears you were able
to get your armor repaired.
-That is excellent news.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yes.
We were about to go
track down some food.
-You can join us if you want to.
-The more the merrier, ladies.
-Sure. Sounds great!
-Um, I don't know if I...
-I would love to!
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] I'll pass.
Come on, no need
to be shy with us.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] I'm not.
-Loosen up.
M'Kay? It's just a meal.
-Sorry to keep you wai--
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Hi.
Are they all in your party?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Yeah.
[sighs]
This should be fun.
[VILLAGERS chattering]
[ARCHER scoffs] Jeez,
if you were waiting for someone,
you could've told us.
[SHAMAN] You're the one
who forced Beard-Cutter
to come along
in the first place.
It isn't my fault. He should've
just said something.
[COWGIRL]
Um, I'm sorry.
Are you sure it's okay
for me to join you?
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] It's fine.
-[PRIEST] You're most welcome.
-Help yourself, young lady.
-[GUILD GIRL] Absolutely!
The more people you eat with,
the better the food tastes.
[COWGIRL giggles]
Then, I guess I'll dig in.
-[laughter]
-[SHAMAN] This is delicious!
[lively chattering]
Tell me.
That rumor about the Hero
defeating the Demon Lord,
-could it really be true?
-Yes, it's official.
We received word from the
capital confirming the story.
The Hero became the tenth
platinum-ranked adventurer
in history.
After all, it's not easy
defeating a demon lord!
That's wonderful to hear.
With him gone, we can all rest
a little easier now, I'm sure.
[SHAMAN] I bet there's
quite a celebration
going on in the capital.
Guess we should start
celebrating ourselves.
Like you need
an excuse to drink.
Too bad. Maybe I should've
gone to the capital
instead of staying here.
Our celebrations may not be
as big here as they are there,
but we do have
a harvest festival, at least.
That does sound pretty fun.
[SHAMAN] Join me for a drink,
Beard-Cutter.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
No, none for me today.
In that case, you're welcome
to try a glass of this tonic.
-So good!
-It's delicious!
I'm glad you like it. It's made
with lemon and honey.
I've been told that
it helps relieve fatigue.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I see.
Maybe I should carry some
with me on my next quest.
[GIRLS giggle]
[SWORDSMAN] Now that training's
over, it's time to eat!
Food's all on me.
Eat up, everyone!
[WARRIORS]
I'm starving, thank you!
It sounds like those two
have been sparring outside
-all morning long.
-As well they should.
Training is essential.
You know, actually,
nothing's set in stone,
but there have been talks
about the possibility
-of opening a training hall.
-Have there?
[GUILD GIRL] They want to hire
retired adventurers.
There are so many newcomers
who need as much help
as they can get.
[ARCHER]
That's true.
The more porcelain-ranks know
when they set out on a quest,
the more likely they are
to come back alive.
[SHAMAN] And it'll give 'em
confidence, too.
Besides, an adventurer
doesn't stop living
just because they don't
go on quests anymore.
I think the arrangement
would benefit everyone.
[COWGIRL gasps]
[GOBLIN SLAYER] Interesting.
[GUILD GIRL]
You need to be more careful
so you have the option
of retiring someday.
I'll just have to stop
giving you quests
if you continue being reckless.
The next time you collapse,
I'll impose a six-month
adventuring ban.
Mm-hmm. No goblin slaying.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
That would be bad.
I agree.
So make sure you take
better care of yourself.
[wagon creaking]
[COWGIRL]
That was fun.
Your friends are
such nice people.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Are they?
[COWGIRL]
Well, yeah. Don't you think so?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I think they're skilled.
And I have a higher probability
of killing goblins
if I'm with them.
Someday.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] What?
-Oh. [chuckles]
Nothing, never mind.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Are you sure?
[COWGIRL]
Yeah.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
All right.
[birds singing]
[SWORD MAIDEN]
"Dear Goblin Slayer,
"I hope you are well.
"These are such uncertain times,
"with danger lurking where
we might least expect it.
"Under normal circumstances,
"I would have sent
this letter much sooner,
"to thank you
for all you have done.
"But I told myself that after
everything that had happened,
"I shouldn't trouble you.
"I hope you can forgive me.
"By some miracle,
ever since the night we spoke,
"the goblins have stopped
plaguing my dreams,
"and life has been peaceful.
"Such a change
would've been impossible
"were it not for you
and your comrades.
"I thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
"Hopefully tranquility
will reign now
"that the Hero has defeated
the Demon Lord.
"But many of his army
still remain,
"so we mustn't let
our guard down yet.
"Even with that threat
behind us,
"I believe the world
will always need adventurers.
"Know that I will continue
to pray for your safety.
Blessings upon you,
the Sword Maiden."
[ARCHER]
Aah! You're so loud!
And you never know when to quit!
That's it, I've had enough!
Let's finish this, dwarf!
[SHAMAN] Ah, you've got guts
talking like that, Long-Ears.
Don't worry,
I'll go easy on you.
Hard stuff for me.
Regular for you. What d'you say?
[ARCHER growls]
-Challenge accepted.
-Uh, should you really?
A wise woman is careful
never to court danger, milady.
Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink!
[ARCHER]
All right, All right, All right!
[gulping]
Well, what have we here?
Don't worry everyone,
the party has arrived.
[WITCH laughs]
-Place a wager?
-Sure.
My money says the elf
beats the dwarf.
-Three gold pieces.
-You're awfully confident.
Sure you can afford that?
[chuckles]
Please, I'm not worried.
With my discipline
and righteousness
and the protection of the gods,
I'm certain to win.
Aren't you a little worried
that the Supreme God
might take issue
with a paladin gambling?
I'm betting on
the dwarf for sure.
Then I'm betting
on the high elf.
[CLERIC]
You can't gamble our earnings!
Um...
Are you really sure
we shouldn't try to stop them?
Sir Mage should claim a victory
within a few more drinks or so.
Though Lady Ranger does have
a stubborn streak,
so it may take longer than that.
We'll just have
to watch and see.
Really?
That's all you have to say?
Fill 'er up! I'm nowhere
near done yet, dwarfie!
Happy to!
-[cheering]
-Woo!
[ARCHER]
One more!
[loud chatter, laughter]
[crickets chirring]
[footsteps approach]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Need something?
[chuckles]
No, not really.
Dinner's ready.
I also wondered what you could
be thinking about,
out here all by yourself.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
The future.
-The future?
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yeah.
Oh, I see.
-I'm sorry.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] For what?
[COWGIRL]
Never mind.
Forget I said anything.
[giggles]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
You're strange sometimes.
[BOTH grunt]
-[body thuds]
-[grass rustles]
♪
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
You'll get grease on you.
I'll live.
It's time for laundry anyway,
and I can take a bath.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I see.
[COWGIRL]
Now, stay put.
[grass rustling]
We can take our time,
you know?
When it comes to thinking
about the future.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Take our time?
[COWGIRL]
Yes. There's no need to rush.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Yeah, you're right.
[sighs]
What does his future look like?
Besides, an adventurer
doesn't stop living
just because they don't go
on quests anymore.
I think the arrangement
would benefit everyone.
[COWGIRL] People grow old.
They get injured.
At some point, they slow down.
Eventually,
everyone reaches their limit.
Adventurers, heroes,
they can't fight forever.
Even if he doesn't die,
there will come a time
when he can
no longer slay goblins.
As nice as they are, these days
can only last so long.
When the time does come,
what will he do?
What will he be able to do?
He probably
doesn't have the answer.
[COWGIRL sighs]
Actually, no one has the answer.
♪
No one... has the answer.
When I was a child,
I thought I'd grow up
to become an adventurer.
I'd leave my village
and fight the monsters
that were tormenting people.
Eventually, I'd become strong
enough to defeat even dragons.
I'd become a hero,
a platinum-ranked adventurer.
Right. Once this is over,
I want us to go to a festival,
back in the village,
all three of us.
Everyone has wishes like that,
things that we want
to accomplish,
people we want to see again.
To make sure
all those wishes come true,
that's why we're fighting!
[FEMALE HERO]
We can't lose this battle!
We have to save the world!
[GOBLIN SLAYER] Even if
I couldn't become a hero...
I thought someday I'd travel
afar as an adventurer.
If only I could leave behind
the older sister
who had raised me
all on her own.

actually looking to make money
as an adventurer right now,
you'd be heading over
to the capital.
A fair bit of the Demon
Lord's army is still there.
Just stragglers. It's pretty
easy work for decent pay.
-You're not going, either?
-Oh, no. Not me. Please.
I don't see the point in
going up against weak opponents.
When I fight,
I fight for myself, for glory?
Not for money
or the greater good.
-And besides--
-Of course.
Please line up
in an orderly fashion,
and I'll be happy
to help you all.
Well, I've got personal reasons.
I'm a real warrior, not some
two-bit hack in a rusty helmet.
-Is that how it is?
-Absolutely, friend.
All right.
Got some ruins to explore.
I'm off.
Wish me luck on my quest.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER grunts]
-[SPEARMAN chuckles]
[SPEARMAN]
The strong, silent type, huh?
Good. I don't like big talkers.
No quests.
-Bye, dear.
-Goodbye.
[BLACKSMITH]
I had some extra time,
so I fixed up
the smaller bits, too.
How's it feel?
[grunts]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
It's fine.
[BLACKSMITH] Now, let's see
what we've got here.
Good grief!
How'd your armor get so damaged
just from fighting goblins?
[GOBLIN SLAYER] Were you able
to get me a scroll?
Not like I get people comin' in
looking to sell those every day.
Have a little patience, will ya?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
All right.
-Hmm?
-[door creaks]
Um, Master, that man,
he's a silver-ranked
adventurer, right?
[BLACKSMITH]
Yeah, that's what I've heard.
So, why does he wear
all that armor?
A light chain mail
would make it a lot easier
to sneak up on enemies.
-You really don't know, do you?
-[APPRENTICE] Know what?
And another thing,
wouldn't he be better off
trying to find a magical sword
than a scroll?
[BLACKSMITH]
Think about it.
Only an idiot would wave around
a legendary magical sword
at some goblins.
He's silver-ranked for a reason.
That man knows exactly
what he's doing.
-[WARRIORS yelling]
-[scoffs]
-[WARRIOR grunts]
-Aah!
[WARRIORS groaning]
[SWORDSMAN]
Come on, what's the matter?
At this rate,
even a goblin could take you.
[groans] Damn it!
Let's try again.
-You go around the right.
-Yeah, I'm on it!
Well, it's always good
to have a plan.
Maybe don't say it
out loud, though.
[shouts]
-Nice try!
-[GIRLS giggle]
[KNIGHT] Glad to see you're
still standing, Goblin Slayer.
I heard that Water Town
quest nearly did you in.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yeah.
-Tell me.
Do you wear full armor
everywhere you go?
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yeah.
-Okay.
[GOBLIN SLAYER] I didn't realize
that greenhorn warrior
was a member of your party.
Ah, we were sparring
with our own youngling
and noticed
that he was staring,
so we thought
we'd let him join in.
An adventurer's skill with
the sword is mostly self-taught.
Even a little formal training
can mean the difference
between life and death.
But of course, since the boys
are getting a lesson,
it's only fair I teach those
girls a thing or two as well.
Huh, that big brute looks like
he's starting to tire already.
So, that's my cue to step in.
-[panting]
-It's my turn now!
You're always bragging about
your superior swordsmanship,
so I'm sure you'll be up
for the challenge.
[SWORDSMAN]
Wha...?
And you call yourself
a paladin candidate?
Enough talking!
[grunts]
This isn't effective
training for anyone!
[scoffs]
-Thanks!
-I thought we were gonna die.
[SWORDSMAN grunts]
Not holding back, are ya?
-[KNIGHT laughs]
-[SWORDSMAN grunts]
-[BOTH grunting]
-[swords clang]
[voices murmuring]
[door creaks open]
-[door creaks closed]
-Hmm?
[chuckles softly]
[sighs]
[PRIESTESS] Goblin Slayer!
What are you doing here?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
My armor needed some repairs.
[PRIESTESS]
You should've said something!
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I didn't see the need to.
[PRIESTESS sighs]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
How's your shoulder feeling?
Huh? Oh, right, my shoulder.
Much better now, thanks.
They cast a healing spell on me,
so it's as good as new.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] I'm glad.
-Me too.
[GUILD GIRL]
Hello, Goblin Slayer.
How was the quest
in Water Town?
[GOBLIN SLAYER] It's taken
care of, no major problems.
No major problems?
What are you talking about?
-You nearly died on that quest!
-[GUILD GIRL gasps]
Oh no! Well, are you okay now?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Yes. I'm fine.
[GUILD GIRL] Did you have your
wounds properly tended to?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I did, thanks.
♪
-Um, I, uh...
-Is anything the matter?
[PRIESTESS]
No. Nothing.
Just thinking, that's all.
[GUILD GIRL gasps]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
What did you need?
-Do you have a quest for me?
-A quest?
No, there's
nothing today, sorry.
I came over to give you this.
An adventurer dropped by
and asked me
to pass it along to you.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] I see. Thanks.
-Of course.
Delivering correspondence
is my responsibility.
Do you have friends or family
living in Water Town?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
No.
It's likely from the one
who gave us the quest.
[GUILD GIRL] Oh, That makes
sense. You're probably right.
[PRIESTESS]
Does he mean the Sword Maiden?
She gave us the quest
and now wrote
Goblin Slayer a letter?
-But why?
-[SHAMAN exclaims]
Well, if it isn't Beard-Cutter.
I didn't know you were here.
It's polite
to at least say hello
if you're going to be
stopping by, Orcbolg.
It appears you were able
to get your armor repaired.
-That is excellent news.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yes.
We were about to go
track down some food.
-You can join us if you want to.
-The more the merrier, ladies.
-Sure. Sounds great!
-Um, I don't know if I...
-I would love to!
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] I'll pass.
Come on, no need
to be shy with us.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] I'm not.
-Loosen up.
M'Kay? It's just a meal.
-Sorry to keep you wai--
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Hi.
Are they all in your party?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Yeah.
[sighs]
This should be fun.
[VILLAGERS chattering]
[ARCHER scoffs] Jeez,
if you were waiting for someone,
you could've told us.
[SHAMAN] You're the one
who forced Beard-Cutter
to come along
in the first place.
It isn't my fault. He should've
just said something.
[COWGIRL]
Um, I'm sorry.
Are you sure it's okay
for me to join you?
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] It's fine.
-[PRIEST] You're most welcome.
-Help yourself, young lady.
-[GUILD GIRL] Absolutely!
The more people you eat with,
the better the food tastes.
[COWGIRL giggles]
Then, I guess I'll dig in.
-[laughter]
-[SHAMAN] This is delicious!
[lively chattering]
Tell me.
That rumor about the Hero
defeating the Demon Lord,
-could it really be true?
-Yes, it's official.
We received word from the
capital confirming the story.
The Hero became the tenth
platinum-ranked adventurer
in history.
After all, it's not easy
defeating a demon lord!
That's wonderful to hear.
With him gone, we can all rest
a little easier now, I'm sure.
[SHAMAN] I bet there's
quite a celebration
going on in the capital.
Guess we should start
celebrating ourselves.
Like you need
an excuse to drink.
Too bad. Maybe I should've
gone to the capital
instead of staying here.
Our celebrations may not be
as big here as they are there,
but we do have
a harvest festival, at least.
That does sound pretty fun.
[SHAMAN] Join me for a drink,
Beard-Cutter.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
No, none for me today.
In that case, you're welcome
to try a glass of this tonic.
-So good!
-It's delicious!
I'm glad you like it. It's made
with lemon and honey.
I've been told that
it helps relieve fatigue.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I see.
Maybe I should carry some
with me on my next quest.
[GIRLS giggle]
[SWORDSMAN] Now that training's
over, it's time to eat!
Food's all on me.
Eat up, everyone!
[WARRIORS]
I'm starving, thank you!
It sounds like those two
have been sparring outside
-all morning long.
-As well they should.
Training is essential.
You know, actually,
nothing's set in stone,
but there have been talks
about the possibility
-of opening a training hall.
-Have there?
[GUILD GIRL] They want to hire
retired adventurers.
There are so many newcomers
who need as much help
as they can get.
[ARCHER]
That's true.
The more porcelain-ranks know
when they set out on a quest,
the more likely they are
to come back alive.
[SHAMAN] And it'll give 'em
confidence, too.
Besides, an adventurer
doesn't stop living
just because they don't
go on quests anymore.
I think the arrangement
would benefit everyone.
[COWGIRL gasps]
[GOBLIN SLAYER] Interesting.
[GUILD GIRL]
You need to be more careful
so you have the option
of retiring someday.
I'll just have to stop
giving you quests
if you continue being reckless.
The next time you collapse,
I'll impose a six-month
adventuring ban.
Mm-hmm. No goblin slaying.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
That would be bad.
I agree.
So make sure you take
better care of yourself.
[wagon creaking]
[COWGIRL]
That was fun.
Your friends are
such nice people.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Are they?
[COWGIRL]
Well, yeah. Don't you think so?
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
I think they're skilled.
And I have a higher probability
of killing goblins
if I'm with them.
Someday.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] What?
-Oh. [chuckles]
Nothing, never mind.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Are you sure?
[COWGIRL]
Yeah.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
All right.
[birds singing]
[SWORD MAIDEN]
"Dear Goblin Slayer,
"I hope you are well.
"These are such uncertain times,
"with danger lurking where
we might least expect it.
"Under normal circumstances,
"I would have sent
this letter much sooner,
"to thank you
for all you have done.
"But I told myself that after
everything that had happened,
"I shouldn't trouble you.
"I hope you can forgive me.
"By some miracle,
ever since the night we spoke,
"the goblins have stopped
plaguing my dreams,
"and life has been peaceful.
"Such a change
would've been impossible
"were it not for you
and your comrades.
"I thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
"Hopefully tranquility
will reign now
"that the Hero has defeated
the Demon Lord.
"But many of his army
still remain,
"so we mustn't let
our guard down yet.
"Even with that threat
behind us,
"I believe the world
will always need adventurers.
"Know that I will continue
to pray for your safety.
Blessings upon you,
the Sword Maiden."
[ARCHER]
Aah! You're so loud!
And you never know when to quit!
That's it, I've had enough!
Let's finish this, dwarf!
[SHAMAN] Ah, you've got guts
talking like that, Long-Ears.
Don't worry,
I'll go easy on you.
Hard stuff for me.
Regular for you. What d'you say?
[ARCHER growls]
-Challenge accepted.
-Uh, should you really?
A wise woman is careful
never to court danger, milady.
Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink!
[ARCHER]
All right, All right, All right!
[gulping]
Well, what have we here?
Don't worry everyone,
the party has arrived.
[WITCH laughs]
-Place a wager?
-Sure.
My money says the elf
beats the dwarf.
-Three gold pieces.
-You're awfully confident.
Sure you can afford that?
[chuckles]
Please, I'm not worried.
With my discipline
and righteousness
and the protection of the gods,
I'm certain to win.
Aren't you a little worried
that the Supreme God
might take issue
with a paladin gambling?
I'm betting on
the dwarf for sure.
Then I'm betting
on the high elf.
[CLERIC]
You can't gamble our earnings!
Um...
Are you really sure
we shouldn't try to stop them?
Sir Mage should claim a victory
within a few more drinks or so.
Though Lady Ranger does have
a stubborn streak,
so it may take longer than that.
We'll just have
to watch and see.
Really?
That's all you have to say?
Fill 'er up! I'm nowhere
near done yet, dwarfie!
Happy to!
-[cheering]
-Woo!
[ARCHER]
One more!
[loud chatter, laughter]
[crickets chirring]
[footsteps approach]
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Need something?
[chuckles]
No, not really.
Dinner's ready.
I also wondered what you could
be thinking about,
out here all by yourself.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
The future.
-The future?
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] Yeah.
Oh, I see.
-I'm sorry.
-[GOBLIN SLAYER] For what?
[COWGIRL]
Never mind.
Forget I said anything.

[GOBLIN SLAYER]
You're strange sometimes.

You'll get grease on you.
I'll live.
It's time for laundry anyway,

I see.

Now, stay put.
[grass rustling]
We can take our time,
you know?
When it comes to thinking
about the future.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Take our time?
[COWGIRL]
Yes. There's no need to rush.
[GOBLIN SLAYER]
Yeah, you're right.
[sighs]
What does his future look like?
Besides, an adventurer
doesn't stop living
just because they don't go
on quests anymore.
I think the arrangement

[COWGIRL] People grow old.
They get injured.
At some point, they slow down.
Eventually,
everyone reaches their limit.
Adventurers, heroes,
they can't fight forever.
Even if he doesn't die,
there will come a time
when he can
no longer slay goblins.
As nice as they are, these days
can only last so long.
When the time does come,
what will he do?
What will he be able to do?
He probably
doesn't have the answer.
[COWGIRL sighs]
Actually, no one has the answer.

No one... has the answer.
