Goblin Slayer (ゴブリンスレイヤー)

I want to be an adventurer.

And do you know how to read and write?

I do. Those were skills taught at the temple.

Perfect. Then please fill this form out for me.

How'd it go with that manticore at the pass?

Eh, you know, it wasn't too bad.

I hear the capital's the place to go

if you're lookin' to make some coin.

Apparently, a demon lord showed up.

How strong are we talkin'?

Figure I could handle a low-level one myself.

Okay, you're 15 years old.

And it says you've trained to be a priestess?

That's right. And now that I'm an adult,

I want to become an adventurer

and help out as many people as I can.

Here. This will serve as

your guild identification.

Now, there are ten ranks for adventurers.

Platinum is the highest rank. Following that is gold.

However, the highest-ranked people you'll encounter

out in the field are the silvers.

If you'll look at your tag,

you'll see it indicates that you're a porcelain,

which is the lowest-ranked among our adventurers.

This tells people that I'm a beginner?

Correct, and should anything go wrong on a quest,

it can also be a means of identifying you.

Hold on to it.

Right!

Well, that's it for your registration.

This board is where quests are posted.

You're welcome to look through them

for one that's suitable for your rank.

Another option would be joining a veteran adventurer's party--

Hey. We're gonna go on a quest, do you wanna come with?

Huh?

Yeah, she said you're a priestess, right?

My adventuring party's missing a healer,

but we've got an urgent quest to tackle

and are looking to add somebody with the right skills

and training as soon as possible.

Will you come along with us?

I don't know. What kind of quest is it?

Goblin slaying!

You're gonna go after goblins?

Sure are. They attacked a village,

and as if stealing supplies and livestock weren't bad enough,

they kidnapped a few of the local girls, too.

We need to rescue them as soon as we can.

Um, you're all porcelain-ranked, aren't you?

This'll be quite the challenge. I'm sure if you wait,

there will be other adventurers willing to take on the quest.

Oh, please. The four of us can handle

a bunch of filthy goblins, no problem. Can't we?

Mm-hmm.

You in, Priestess?

Come on and make up your mind already.

Okay, I'll go with you,

if you really think I'll be able to help.

All right! We can finally go on an adventure!

-- Welcome aboard! -- Yeah!

Great to have you!

Those goblins don't stand a chance now!

Don't get too excited.

If things start to get ugly, just leave it to me.

Um, is this a good idea?

I mean, just barging in?

Maybe we should head back outside and plan some more.

Really? Now's when you decide to back out of this?

You don't need to worry about anything.

Goblins are nothing.

They're the size of little children and just as stupid.

They're basically the weakest monster you can fight.

I even kicked a couple out of my village once, all by myself.

I wouldn't be bragging about that if I were you.

Ha! I'm sure we'll be able to handle anything,

and after this quest, we're gonna go kill a dragon!

You're getting ahead of yourself.

But, yeah, we'll eventually get there.

One day, I'm gonna be a famous dragon slayer!

Even if that idiot can't cut them all down,

I'll kill them with my bare hands.

I've got you covered.

Besides, she's a wizard who graduated

from the Sage's Academy in the capital.

Hmph.

Okay. Less talking, more exploring. Let's go.

Did any of you bring potions along just in case?

Nope.

Huh?

We didn't have the time or the money

to do much shopping before we left.

Rescuing those kidnapped girls takes priority.

Plus, we've got you to help.

You can heal us if we happen to get hurt, right?

Well, I can pray to the goddess

and ask for the miracles of healing and light if need be,

but there are limits.

I can only use them three times, so...

-- Hold up! --Huh?

What the heck is this?

There was one at the entrance, too.

I know.

Hear me, O merciful Earth Mother.

Please offer us your loving protection.

Light the darkness.

Come on, we're falling behind.

The other two ran up ahead and I don't want to miss anything.

Right, I'm sorry.

Jeez, what's the matter now?

It's just, I thought I heard something.

Like what?

I'm not sure, but it was behind us.

That's impossible. We just came from the entrance

and didn't see anyone along the way.

It's probably only your imagination.

-- --Huh?

-- --

The goblins!

Sagitta inflammarae... radius!

Firebolt!

Hey, I got one!

Sagitta inflammarae radius!

-- --

No, don't! Give that back!

Get away from her, monsters!

How dare you hurt her! You're dead!

Get over here!

Take that!

Hurry and perform a healing miracle.

Of course! Hear me, O merciful Earth Mother.

Please lay your blessed hands upon this child's wounds!

Heal her!

Monsters! I'll kill you all!

Stop swinging that thing around. I can't get close!

You stay back there and protect the rest of our group.

I'll take care of these bastards!

What's the matter, you scared?

Die!

You're the next one down!

-- --

I don't understand.

I used healing on her, but she's not getting better.

Take her and get out of here.

But what about you?

I can still fight!

Let go... My leg!

-- --

Go. Take her. Just forget about me and run.

-- --

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry...

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Forgive me! Are you okay?

Why didn't you get better?
