When the sun had set, and their adventures ended, what naturally came next for the adventurers was to drink away in happiness.
It had been a long time since the creation of the occupation called ‘Adventurer’, and they slowly became inseparable ‘friends’ with taverns and bars.
It didn’t matter if they were rookie adventurers who earned a few coins from subjugating goblins.
Or the ones who gained large amounts of fame and wealth after slaying a dragon living in the mountains.
Even the ones who brought peace to the world after defeating the Demon Lord.
Adventurers would always appear in taverns, with beer mugs in their hands.
Thus, they were no different.
In a city near the borders, there was a tavern built just beside the entrance of the city’s Adventurer Guild.
Dusk had only fallen, and there were already a group of drunken adventurers singing a song together.
But these drunks probably haven’t realized that there were two conspicuous women among the crowd.
One of them was a Elven Raider——or rather, an Elven Archer.
She rested her slim, beautiful body on the chair as she plucked the bowstring of her bow lovingly.
The bow was made of yew itself, and its strings were from spider silk. It followed the movements of its owner, making sounds as if it were playing a music.
Other than a pair of hunting gloves, there was also an obsidian dagger and some other equipment on the table. Based on that, she should be checking her equipment.
The other person was a human priestess——a priestess worshipping the Earth Mother.
Her slender, petite body sat on the chair as she cautiously sewed something.
Although she didn’t only have one pair of her priestess vestments, there was no guarantee that her clothes wouldn’t be dirtied or torn during adventuring.
And so, she was currently mending the hole in the clothes with skilled hands.
Probably thinking of something happy, the priestess opened her pink lips and began singing joyfully.
Remember when we were young? When you said an adventure, we would go.
Your hands I always held, as I ran in front of you, leading you on.
Time flies by, a girl, I had remained.
Yet so tall, so strong, and such a man you had became.
You didn’t notice me, but I understood it at a glance.
The ribbon on my head had never changed, so please notice that.
You never understood my feelings, yet you said an adventure, we would go!
To be honest, you’re like a prince, the princess’s deepest love.
I mumbled ‘I won’t lose!’, as I held your hands.
An adventure, we would go! Because your hands I have always held, as I ran in front, leading you on.
[T/N: Tried my best to translate this song. Rip.]
[Abelas: This song is terrible tbh. Tried singing it too.]
[Ruzenor: In licky I trust][Licky:Kek.]
[Un, that’s a nice song.]
Elven Archer responded with her eyes twitching.
[I know, right?]
Priestess nodded excitedly as if Elven Archer was praising her, not the song.
[The bard sang this frequently, so I had memorized it.]
[Hmm, the lyrics were decent, but you’re unexpectedly a very good singer.]
Priestess blinked a few times and stopped what she was doing. Slowly, she realized that she was being praised.
[Ah, it’s nothing. It’s just because I’ve been singing hymns since I was young……]
[Oh please. I’ve also been singing ‘since I was young’, but never as good as you, you know?]
If one were to compare their age against her, probably only gods and dragons could compete against her.
Priestess, who was only 15, could only say [Is that so?] with a blank look.
At that moment, with a mischievous grin on her face, Elven Archer stood up quickly with a whoosh and pushed the equipments to the side of the table.
[Hey, tell me honestly, what’s up with that?]
[Huh?]
[Your relationship with Orcbolg.]
With a loud rip, there was another hole on the priestess vestments that needed mending.
[Wh-wh-wh-what are you saying!?]
Priestess’s white face instantly became red, and her sweet voice also becoming high-pitched.
[Hmm, it’s exactly what I said.]
Elven Archer spoke very calmly.
[My relationship……with him……]
[Mhmm, exactly what I said.]
As if she was very amused to see the face of Priestess panicking, Elven Archer shook the cup in her hands.
[You must have gone on other adventures without us, right? When you two were on one together, how was Orcbolg’s performance?]
[How…? Uhh, it’s nothing special……]
[I’m also quite interested in this subject.]
[Ah!?]
A sudden voice came from her side.
Priestess, who was almost scared out of her wits, turned and saw a familiar person.
Guild Girl, with a wide grin on her face, was standing there. It seems like her shift was over, since she was now in her casual wear.
She wore a thin blouse with a leather jacket over it, as well as a pair of jodhpurs over her long, slender legs.
[T/N: Jodhpurs is a type a pants used normally for riding horses.]
As she looked so different from her usual uniform, Priestess couldn’t help but stare.
[I was only able to know the things from the reports, so I’m actually quite curious about his daily lifestyle.]
Apologizing for her sudden intrusion, she sat on a seat near the round table.
Shaking her braids, she turned and saw another female near the entrance of the tavern’s storage entrance.
[You’re also interested, right?]
[Uhh….y-yeah.]
It was Cow Girl. After being questioned, she turned her head over with a blushing face and nodded.
She wore a pair of working clothes over her voluptuous body. It seems like she was eavesdropping, and being caught made her feel awkward.
[……O-of course I am……even though I know how he acts at home……]
[……How did Goblin Slayer-san act at home?]
Priestess had subconsciously asked. It was only after she realized what she had done was so sudden and looked at the people around her panickedly.
Elven Archer grinned widely, and Guild Girl’s professional polite smile once again surfaced on her face.
Embarrassed, Priestess lowered her gaze.
[B-because, don’t you think it’s weird? Does he wear that helmet even when he’s at home……] Priestess stuttered as if she was trying to explain herself.
[Ah, yeah.]
As if she had already gave up on something, Cow Girl smiled and said:
[Yep, he wears that helmet all the time.]
[Wow!]
Someone had exclaimed in shock.
Slowly but surely, Cow Girl had been brought into the conversation. In the end, she sat on one of the chairs, totalling the number of people in the conversation into four.
Priestess quickly kept the sewing kit scattered on the table, and Elven Archer just casually pushed all her equipment under her chair.
[Ah, should we order something? We only had some grape wine before this.]
[Sure. Let’s order some beer—— actually, I haven’t had my meal yet. Let’s also get some……]
[Ah, sausages……elves don’t eat that, right? How about some sweet potatoes? Those deep fried ones.]
[Sweet potatoes? Deep fried? I’ve never had something like that before!]
There was a proverb that says three women are enough to make a drama. And in this case, there was an extra one.
The mood around the table became bright as the women discussed merrily.
After the waitress had come to take their orders, a hot, steaming plate of deep fried salted sweet potatoes was served up.
Putting a cup to her mouth and drinking the alcohol inside in one gulp, Elven Archer gave a long, deep sigh.
[It’s my first time attending this kind of gathering, cause there’s no other girls of same age around here!]
Even though they weren’t the dwarf shaman who loved to quarrel with her, the people around her couldn’t help but say [Of course there wouldn’t be!] in response to the words Elven Archer (2000 years old) said.
She put a piece of the sweet potato in her mouth and said [Too hot!], all the while waving her pair of long ears.
[Ah, this is also actually my first time. After all, I didn’t have much of a chance to get together with other girls before this.]
After saying [Itadakimasu~] lively, Cow Girl drank a mouth of the beer and took a bite of the sweet potatoes.
Licking the grease off her fingers, she took a glance at the Priestess beside her.
[From what I heard, it seems that the atmosphere at Earth Mother’s temple is quite the strict and solemn one. Is it true?]
[There is no such thing.]
Priestess said happily as she took a small sip of the wine she held with her both hands.
[Although we were all in training, everyone was still a girl. We had always sneakily stayed up to chat till late in the night.]
As for their topics, it mainly consisted of which adventurer looked the most handsome, or which priest actually had a wicked heart.
As if she was thoroughly enjoying this atmosphere, Priestess currently showed the younger side of herself.
[Still, having the chance to drink alcohol was quite rare……how was it at the Capital?]
[Hmm, having a good drink after work——was what I did for a few times.]
Guild Girl said that with a hint of nostalgia, but a weird grin immediately replaced the expression on her face.
[There were also times where I wanted to go home early, but because it was a feast for the high-ranked adventurers, I was forced to stay back and accompany them.]
[Ah, hahahaha……] Cow Girl smiled ambiguously and coughed a little.
[How was he during an adventure?]
[Uh, how do I put it. He would teach you a lot of things, and would treat others very kindly……]
As she said that, a bright smile had appeared on Priestess’s face.
[For example, that time……]
[What are……goblins?]
When Priestess had asked that question, the time was just a little after noon.
They were in a dark forest, near a inconspicuous cave, and right in front of a mountain of rubbish.
Simply put, it was just before they started the mission of subjugating the goblins.
Wearing priestess vestments, a petite, thin girl clenched the sounding staff in her hands and hid herself among the thick bushes.
The person she was asking had his back faced towards Priestess, and had merely said [Hmm.]
This was an very shabby looking adventurer.
Clad in a dirty and stained armor, he wore a cheap-looking helmet, held a normal-looking sword, and a buckler which was tied to his left arm.
Currently, he was investigating the surrounding vegetation. As he plucked the excess weeds out, as well looking for any nearby twigs, he looked extremely abnormal.
After all, rookie adventurers, such as Priestess herself, would even equip themselves better than him.
If someone said that this man actually held the rank of Silver among the ten ranks of adventurers, no one would probably believe it.
Gathering the twigs into a small mountain, he slowly shook his head.
[I’m not too sure myself.]
Taking out a scroll from his luggage, he checked if the seal was still intact before replying to Priestess with his usual monotonous voice.
[……So even Goblin Slayer-san has no idea?]
Priestess tilted her head slightly.
The adventurer which Priestess called as Goblin Slayer-san only nodded and replied with a simple [Un.]
[Then can you tell me, what are adventurers?]
[Uh……] Priestess pressed her thin fingers against her lips and thought hard.
There were so many races, jobs, and skills. Indeed, it would be very hard to describe it in one word.
[There are too many things to say about it……]
[It’s hard as expected.]
[How about, Goblin Slayer-san, can you please tell me about what you know?]
[Please tell me]—— When Goblin Slayer heard Priestess request, he stayed silent for a while.
[……First off, they’re like bandits.] He said.
[Small bodies, wickedly cruel, numerous in numbers, and very despicable.]
[It’s just like what I heard of them usually.]
[They attack and plunder villages, kidnap women, and are pests who hide in caves……you just need to know them like that.]
Priestess nodded. Indeed, it was much easier to understand now.
Although she was an orphan who grew up in the temple, but she had heard the stories of the adventurers from her bedtime stories.
She understood clearly about how the goblins were often described as.
In any case, even though he had taught her a lot of things, he had never allowed her to keep notes of it with the reason being [goblins would know].
So, to not receive any new knowledge now can be considered as her own luck.
But still, new questions keep popping out on her mind.
[But, if their numbers are such a problem, shouldn’t they receive more attention then—]
[To those sages and scholars, those dragons slumbering in the mountains and the evil gods who were sealed should be more interesting.]
As he said that, he drew his sword and used his fingers to check it. Yep, no problem.
After swinging it a few times to check the blade’s condition, he sheathed it again.
[Also, those who take pride in driving the goblins away are normally the young men in the villages. Adventurers wouldn’t even bat an eye for them.]
Not to mention if you were to say that you failed in driving the goblins away, you would be the laughing stock of everyone.
As there were no proper information about the goblins circulating around, everyone thought the goblins were nothing but mere [pests].
With that, there had been no argument that goblins were seen as the weakest monster in existence.
[……How annoying.]
[Ah, it sure is.]
Priestess’s body shivered a little as she clenched her sounding staff.
Goblins are weak.
That’s why they were no end to rookies who never thought it through, joining goblin subjugation quests, and dying in the end.
After all, she herself almost became like them.
It was just that she didn’t die, or faced a pitiful fate. Just that.
This was either fate, coincidence, or even just a good number on the dice thrown by the Gods.
——It wasn’t like that.
[……]
Priestess chanted the name of Earth Mother repeatedly as she shook her head.
Wrong. It was all wrong. The reason she had been rescued wasn’t just because of that.
It was because of this man. This man in front of her who was gathering twigs had saved her.
It wasn’t something a word like [Luck] could ever explain.
[……What had you been doing since just now? Are you going to make a bonfire?]
The [Miracles] that priests are able to perform are granted upon them for their strong faith and prayers, so they couldn’t have any doubts.
Priestess changed the topic of conversation because of her interests and mood. She cautiously looked at what Goblin Slayer was doing.
[I’m pouring turpentine and sulphur on these firewood. Therefore when they burn, they would emit a poisonous smoke.]
Goblin Slayer replied monotonously as usual.
[This time, we can be the ones striking preemptively.]
Yes, striking preemptively.
There was a girl in the village. On her way home from gathering, she was ambushed by goblins, but managed to get away after struggling with all that she had.
The vigorous young men of the village had prepared excitedly to subjugate the goblins……
Fortunately, or rather, unfortunately, the village chief had challenged the goblins when he was young, and broke a leg as a result.
Thus, they chose to request for the adventurer’s help instead. This had happened a week ago.
A week. This was more than enough time for Goblin Slayer to look for the goblin’s nest.
Staring at the firewood in front of her, Priestess couldn’t help but think that something fishy was up.
[about that……is Goblin Slayer-san preparing to……?]
[On the nearby trees, there are deep, big claw marks. So this cave should have been a bear’s home.]
[In that case, the cave wouldn’t be too deep. They would even need to dig a emergency escape tunnel. But seeing that they didn’t even have a guard at the entrance, they must be quite careless.]
He learned it from the Raiders, or so he said.
[Light a fire, wait for the poisonous smoke to form, then use the [Wind] scroll to blow the smoke in the cave.]
Taking out a scroll from his luggage, he held the flint in his other hand as he told his plan with a steely voice.
[I probably can’t kill them all with just this, so should any survivors run out, all I need to do is finish them off.]
——Ah, the gods above. Even though she felt grateful towards him, but still……
[All goblins must die.]
——Couldn’t he use some other ways……?
Hearing his somehow excited tone, Priestess could only stare at the sky and sigh deeply.
The Gods were also currently smiling bitterly. But of course, she wouldn’t know that.
[Isn’t he acting like usual?]
[As usual!??]
[Really, he’s like that normally too.]
[Ah, but when I still wasn’t too used to it, he really took good care of me……]
I was helped a lot by him.
Saying that, she had a gentle look on her face, and looked completely honest there.
Cow Girl, who was a little shocked from seeing her expression, couldn’t help but agree to what she said.
After all, she was thinking of something along the lines.
[……Un. Indeed. After all, he would always help me out earnestly.]
Noticing Cow Girl’s giggles, Guild Girl tilted her head, her braids shaking around too.
[Is it?]
[Un, it is.]
Cow Girl smiled and affirmed it.
[About that, there was something that happened today……]
[Let’s make sausages!]
[Un.]
Standing next to Cow Girl who was all pumped up and had her sleeves all folded, Goblin Slayer nodded.
This was the processing room in the farm—— to turn the farm animals into usable meat, they had to slaughter and dismember it. It was something that couldn’t be helped.
Still, other than the meat, they were other parts like the tongue or the organs, and it was such a waste to just throw them.
What to do with them? Of course, make them into sausages!
[Cutting or filling, which part do you want?]
Wrapping her hair with a cloth, she asked him. He stayed quiet for a while.
[Which one is harder?]
[Probably the cutting part. You only need to fill the ingredients in for the filling part.]
[Then, let me do the cutting.]
[Un. Please!]
Nodding, he took the knife and stood beside the ingredients.
This was a kitchen knife used specially for cutting meat. He held the knife in one hand, chopping the ingredients as if they were logs.
His knife-handling technique was very skilled, making Cow Girl wonder what he used the blades to chop with, and immediately threw that thought out of her mind.
[Just cut them like usual. Mince them a little, too. Oh, cut these leaves up along with the ingredients too.]
[I see.]
[I’ll mix them later. Just put them at the side when you’re finished.]
[Understood.]
After hearing her explanation, he started his job.
His knife cut into the ingredients mercilessly with an expressionless face.
Looking at how he did his work without a word, she also relaxed a little.
[Huu huu.]
Happily, Cow Girl puffed her voluptuous breasts out.
Initially, she wanted to divert his attention from goblins, and asked him for help.
Before this, she had also asked Guild Girl to try and give the goblin subjugation quests to other adventurers first.
After all, it was impossible for him to complete all the goblin subjugation requests, more so when he did it all alone.
Since ancient times, common interest was a necessary condition for the formation of a strong alliance
To him, resting or a change of mood —— Simply put, occasional rest is important.
——It’s just that this job of cutting was slightly too bloody.
[It’s done.]
[Alright!]
Pushing the cut ingredients over her side, Cow Girl grabbed and started mixing them.
For the mixture, there was wheat flour, as well as blood. As she mumbled something, she mixed them thoroughly to make the base ingredient of the sausage.
Although there was a metallic smell of blood due to the addition of blood and organs in the mixture, she also added the spices that he cut before into it. Now, it was up to them to add things to their tastes.
[Need my help?]
[You’re already done cutting? Then please!]
[Un.]
After a while, he who already finished his job of cutting stood beside her. His height had never changed, and was the same as usual.
Cow Girl looked at his face who was beside her. Although she couldn’t really see his expression, but somehow she felt very happy.
[It still feels somewhat weird though.]
[What do you mean?]
[No, it’s nothing. Let’s start filling the meat in!]
After stretching the cleaned sausage skins, they filled it up with the mixture.
It was much easier with two people doing it together. Once they were done filling it, all they needed to do was to blanch the sausages and their job was done.
Then, they would be delivered to the market. When the time comes for the need for the goods to be carried, she would look for his help again——
[Is he wearing that while doing it?]
[Yep, he still was.]
[Really!?]
This time, it was Elven Archer’s turn to be shocked.
It can’t be. Impossible. No such thing could have even happened.
[He even wore an apron on top of that.]
[Apron!?]
Unthinkable——Wrong, although they could imagine such a sight, they couldn’t even fathom what would he be thinking under that helmet of his.
Seeing how Elven Archer was hugging her head in confusion, Priestess gave a smile.
At that time, she suddenly thought of a question. Could it be……
[Does Goblin Slayer-san not take off his armor even at home?]
Although there were stories of cursed equipments in this world, there had only been a few rare existences.
An armor that you couldn’t take off no matter what after wearing it, or a sword that would at least kill 3 people when you unsheathe it.
But the armor he had been wearing all this time was a cheap, shabby one.
The stained armor, that cheap-looking helmet, the buckler on his left arm, as well as the mass-produced sword he held in the other.
No matter which equipment he wore, they all looked the cheapest ones from the store. If that was the case……
[…..Could it be that he was cursed by the goblins?]
Probably because she felt her own words were too silly, Priestess smiled bitterly and added a [As if it could be the case.]
No one could get to the bottom of it.
Guild Girl and Cow Girl gave each other a glance and sighed.
[Taking the words of Goblin Slayer-san here,]
Supporting her head with one of her arms, Guild Girl’s gaze turned to somewhere far away, as if she was looking at someone that wasn’t there.
[Even if this is a town, there is no guarantee that there is no goblins in here.]
[……What the hell.]
Elven Archer who had her head buried in her arms on the table raised it and voiced out her dissatisfied protests.
[Isn’t he just being stupid here?]
[……Yeah, indeed. That’s true.]
Cow Girl looked like she was a little lonely as her expression softened. The small lips of hers mumbled softly:
……He’s just the same as before.
[Actually, it must be because he is very afraid of goblins. No matter if it was him……or me.]
[That’s why, didn’t I say that he was just being stupid.]
Elven Archer glared at Cow Girl with half-opened eyes.
Wrong. She wasn’t glaring at her, but through her and at Goblin Slayer who wasn’t present.
[If one were to be fearless of monsters, how is he going to be an adventurer? He’ll just die within moments.]
In other words, Elven Archer continued on.
[That fellow, really is suitable to be an adventurer.]
Wanting to know more things, and wanting to try out even more new things.
Yet, he had only subjugated goblins, and only had goblins in his mind.
Just like what she said as usual——this kind of Goblin Slayer made her very unhappy.
And all four people who were gathered here probably would have had the same opinions.
As their conversation grinded to a halt, the atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became very lively.
People boasting about defeating difficult monsters, the joy of acquiring the loot, and the sounds of beer mugs clanking against each other in celebration of surviving the ordeal with their comrades.
Suddenly, Priestess slammed the table with her handhit her hand against the table.
[Then, let’s go for an adventure together next time!]
Her facial expression was like a blooming flower, and her voice sounded determined.
Their eyes were all set upon this petite, frail, and youngest girl among them.
Yet, Priestess nodded her head confidently, totally ignoring their gazes.
[Because, weren’t we all led around in circles by him?]
She even raised the thin, white finger of hers and drew circles in the air.
[That’s why, this time we’ll be the one holding him in place and leading him on instead.]
Didn’t the song also went something along those lines? Priestess cleared her throat and stated her thoughts clearly.
Guild Girl, Cow Girl, or the Elven Archer. She had no idea who, but someone started laughing.
The laughter spread, and now all four of them were laughing and holding their sides in pain.
The atmosphere felt lively and bright, and four of the girls didn’t suit the personality of being depressed or solemn.
[Okay, then in this case, there would be two people in agreement. Even if it’s Orcbolg, I doubt that he’ll raise objections.]
[Now that you mention it, Goblin Slayer is one who is open to persuasion but not to coercion, isn’t he?]
[Ah, you’re right. Ever since a long time ago, he would never turn down other’s requests for help.]
[Then, how about we try it out by inviting him? Maybe on a quest to investigate some ruins or something.]
[Hmm, it could work……]
[Eh!?]
Suddenly, there was a monotonous, expressionless sound of someone breathing. The person’s armor made creaking noises as four of the girls turned their heads.
He was just standing there.
Clad in a dirty armor, he wore a cheap-looking helmet, tied a small buckler at his left arm, and held a mass produced sword in the other.
He was the pest killer, Orcbolg——Goblin Slayer.
[……Uh, eh, about the conversation just now. How much did you listen to, Goblin Slayer-san?]
[I have no idea what are you talking about.]
In response to Priestess’s question, Goblin Slayer had replied simply.
[But it seems like you have a good relationship going on between you all.]
[Ah, ahahaha……]
Priestess gave a shallow laugh and looked at the other three girls.
They all nodded frantically, as if agreeing to keep what they had talked about a secret. The Alliance consisting of them four had come to an agreement.
[What happened, Goblin Slayer-san? Is there a request?]
[Un.]
In order to help Priestess out, Guild Girl had asked such a question, and Goblin Slayer had replied monotonously.
[It’s goblins.]
It was the same as usual.
[How hopeless.] One girl thought so.
[Sigh….] Another girl thought.
[That’s why you are stupid.] Another girl thought like that.
[……You really make others feel helpless, don’t you.]
Priestess said a word she had repeated for countless times.
[I already told the other……comrades.]
He hesitated a little when he said that sentence, as if he was thinking whether it was right to call them like that.
Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest. If they weren’t his comrades, who were they?
The only one who felt weird about this was the weirdest one in the Adventurer’s Guild——Goblin Slayer himself.
[Are the two of you coming?]
[Ah, of course we are.]
[Certainly.]
Sighing, Priestess said [Please wait for a moment] and started keeping the half-mended priestess vestments into her bag.
Elven Archer who was a step quicker than her had already stood up with the great bow on her back.
[Of course I’m going. After all, I’m the only one capable of being a scout in our party.]
[It’s fine if you don’t come. I’ll figure out a way.]
[Ah, you……]
As if she had a headache, Elven Archer massaged the area between her eyebrows. Orcbolg was the same as usual.
[Ah, I’m going too. I can’t just leave you alone.]
[Is that so? Thanks.]
Goblin Slayer gave a nod towards Priestess.
Guild Girl, who was standing at the side and looking at the three of them, gave a long, deep sigh and stood up with a happy expression on her face.
She then straightened the wrinkles on her blouse as an exercise for her fingers.
[……Really. I’ll have to work overtime then.]
[I’m sorry.]
[It’s fine, it’s fine. After all, this is Silver-Ranked Adventurer-sama’s request.]
[……Is that so.]
With a clear, bright laugh, she turned and walked away from him who was mumbling softly and towards the reception table with light steps.
Suddenly, with a sudden turn, her braids flew around in the air like tails.
[As remuneration, remember to ‘substitute’ for me next time too, okay?]
[Got it.]
This shouldn’t be considered as cheating, right? After all, all three of them got to spend more time with him anyways.
Looking at Guild Girl who was waving goodbye with complicated eyes, Cow Girl said with a smile.
[Then, watch out so that you don’t get hurt, okay?]
[Got it.]
Goblin Slayer nodded seriously.
No matter when, he would always accept other people’s opinion up front.
[I’ll watch out. But should there be a chance of victory present, I’ll still go try it out……]
[If that was all it takes to be victorious, then I wouldn’t even be troubled in the first place——right?]
Following his determined tone of voice, Priestess quoted the second half of his mantra.
Goblin Slayer couldn’t help but pause in his words, and mumbled [So you remembered.]
[Of course.]
Puffing out her thin chest, she said:
[I’m also growing, too.]
——So, please prepare yourself, okay?
With a deep, quiet voice, Goblin Slayer said:
[Un.]
T/N: And that concludes Volume 1! Will start on Volume 2 soon!
