Time to test the waters with this one~! I've had this one on my mind for a bit, but I want to see if it's a reasonable idea that everyone will like to see more of. For now, let's begin~!

How Not to Summon a Goblin Slayer

Prologue: A New Fate


"Where are the goblin quests?"

Inside the guild office, Goblin Slayer was slightly put off at the fact that there were no contracts for killing any goblins today. There usually were those kind of quests around since high-ranked adventures would never bother to deal with such a weak enemy as the goblin. Unknown to them, however, goblins' posed a huge threat to low-ranked adventures who were just starting out as beginners. They'd underestimate the goblins' to such an extent that only few of them make it out alive. The majority of them either die a painful, or end up scarred for life. So, it was pretty unusual not to see any on the quest board.

"I came here to slay goblins," Goblin Slayer stated with mild frustration.

"S-Slayer-san,... please calm yourself," Priestess said with worry before turning to front desk, where Guild Girl stood. "Ma'm, are you sure there aren't any more goblin quests right now?"

"U-Unfortunately... no," Guild Girl answered with a sad frown. "There were a small group of bronze-ranked adventures that came in and accepted them. Honestly, I'm really thankful that they did... n-not that I don't appreciate your help Goblin Slayer!"

"I see," Goblin Slayer blankly said. There was never a time that he came to the guild office and not have any goblins' that needed slaying. This could very well be the only time which he might go a day without killing any goblins. He didn't want to accept that fact, but if those adventures knew what they were doing, they'd still be slain.

"S-Slayer-san?" Priestess asked with a frown before her eyes widen as she saw Goblin Slayer walk out the door without a single word said.

"I must say, it is strange to see other adventures get to the goblins' before he does," Guild girl stated with astonishment. "You think he'll be alright?"

A few seconds pass before Priestess looks back with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm sure Goblin Slayer-san deserves a break from all the goblins' he's slain. He honestly pushes himself way too hard, and that worries me." She then put's a hand to her heart, and lightly blushes with one last thought:

'But I'll still wait for him, after all...'


'No goblins... huh?'

With the sun now setting, Goblin Slayer walked along the dirt road that would lead him back home to the farm, where Cow Girl and her uncle resided in. It still pained him that he'd have to go home without any goblins' to add to his daily kill count, but there'd still be another day.

'Even if it's not today, I swear... I'll kill them all.' He thought with mild anger. 'Every... last... one of them!'

*FLASH!

"Hmm?" Suddenly, light had surrounded him and left only white in his vision. "What's going on? A spell of some kind?" The light continued on for a brief moment before subsiding for him to see...

*Kiss~!

...a busty elf, and a... cat girl... who both attempted to kiss him, but due to his helmet being in the way they only kissed cold, dirty metal. Both of them reeled back and spat on the floor of the tower in disgust.

"I-Ick! Oh come on, how am I supposed to complete the enslavement ritual now?!" Cat Girl said in annoyance.

"Gah~!" The elf, who was also annoyed, flailed her arms around with a frown. "I finally summon a monster, and yet it's covered in armor! This just sucks~!"

"Um,... first of all, you're not the one that summoned him," Cat Girl stated. "I was."

"Nuh uh~!" Elf Girl exclaimed with a raised finger. "I did, because I did everything that I was supposed to, and I was the one that suggested we'd come to Star Fall Tower in the first place."

"No, I'm the one who summoned him!" Cat Girl exclaimed in anger.

"You're wrong and you know it!" Elf Girl exclaimed as well. "I summoned him!"

"No, me!" Cat Girl yelled.

"No, me!" Elf Girl yelled.

"..." Goblin Slayer sat silent as the two girls continued to banter on who summoned who, to which he was a bit confused, but payed no mind to it. A minute passes before he stood up and spoke. "Excuse me."

Both the girls quickly turned and looked at him in complete shock, unexpected that the summon would speak. "Did he just talk?!" Cat Girl asked.

"He totally did!" Elf Girl exclaimed.

"Who are you?" Goblin Slayer asked.

Both blinked for a moment before Cat Girl answered. "Umm, it's Rem. Besides that, I need to ask you something."

"What?"

"Could you take off your helmet?"

"No."

"W-Wha-, why not?!" Elf Girl asked.

"I just can't," Goblin Slayer bluntly stated.

"No, no, NO!" Rem repeated in anger. "I can't complete the enslavement ritual unless the kiss has skin contact!"

"What ritual?"

"The one where I summoned you, you dummy!" Elf Girl stated in annoyance. "I'm your master, so I order you to take it off!"

"Excuse me?!" Rem said as she turned to Elf Girl. "I'm his master, so why don't you back off?!"

"You wanna go, shortcake?!" Elf Girl threatened.

"TRY ME, THUNDER TITS!"

Elf Girl covered her chest. "*GASP~, YOU DID NOT JUST GO THERE?!"

"..." Goblin Slayer stood in silence once more as the girls continued their pointless bickering. Taking a moment to look around, he spotted a stair case, which supposedly led to up on the tower. 'This is pointless.'

"THAT'S IT, I'M GONNA- huh?" Rem blinked while looking to her left.

"What wrong, cat got your- hmm?" Elf Girl smugly asked before also blinking from where Rem was looking. "W-Wait a minute... w-where'd he go?"

Rem gritted her teeth and turned back to Elf Girl in anger. "You idiot, this is all your fault!"

"MY FAULT?! You were the one that insulted my chest!"

Rem immediately ran towards the staircase. "Look, we don't have time for this! Come on, we can't let him get away!"

Elf Girl pouted in anger before complying. "F-Fine, but he's mine!"

'Hmm...'

Goblin Slayer continued his trek through the grass plains, unknown of where he was actually going. There were thoughts that lingered in his mind, such as: What is this place? How'd I get here? Summon?, but those were only minor because there was only one thought that had priority over the others. 'I wonder if they're any goblins around.'

"Hold it!"

At the voice, Goblin Slayer turned around spotting Rem and Elf Girl running right up to him. "What?"

"Don't just run off like that and not say anything!" Elf Girl exclaimed.

"Sorry," Goblin Slayer bluntly apologized.

"It's alright," Rem said. "Now, I'll say this again. Take. Off. Your. Helmet. Now." Goblin Slayer stared for about a few second before turning and continuing on his way. "H-Hey, I thought she told you not to leave?!" She turned towards Elf Girl. "Shera, do something!"

"Fine, I get it!" The girl who was named Shera exclaimed before she brought out her bow and readied an arrow pointed directly at Goblin Slayer! "This'll teach you not to ignore us you jerk!"

*FWOOSH!

*CLANK!

Shera blinked. "Eh... w-what just happened?" She now saw that her summon was standing still while facing them.

Rem also blinked in confusion. "I-I don't know, but-"

"Enough," Goblin Slayer stated with anger as his right eye began to intensely glow blood red.

*DOOM MUSIC INTENSIFIES

Both Rem and Shera shuddered as he slowly began walking towards the two, while a red trail followed along his eye. "S-Shera... d-don't just stand there, again!"

"A-Ah, r-r-right," Shera said while readying another arrow. "I-I order you to stop!"

*FWOOSH!

*CLANK!

"N-No..., way," Shera said while she began sweating bullets in fear. This was because of the fact that her summon had just deflected her arrow with only his sword.!

*CRACK!

Goblin Slayer then stepped on and broke the arrow in half as he slowly continued making his way towards them.

"N-No, I won't give up until I finish this ritual!" Rem exclaimed before taking out one of her summoning crystals.

*BREAK!

With her crystal now glowing, a small wind storm swirled beside her before it revealed to be a large black snake with very small horns, as well as four eyes. "Stop him Shadow Snake!" The Shadow Snake immediately charged towards Goblin Slayer, ready to constrict him!

*FWOOSH! … *PIERCE!

Unfortunately, Goblin Slayer was prepared as he had precisely threw his sword and pierced the snakes' head!

Rem looked on in horror as her Shadow Snake dissipated into black mist and returned to her crystal. "T-This can't be happening." Rem then slumped to the ground and stared to have tears forming in her eyes.

"REM~, I DON'T WANNA DIE~!" Shera cried out in fear with tears pouring from her eyes before she hugged Rem.

"W-Who... are you?" Rem asked with teary eyes.

Goblin Slayer soon picked back up his sword and now stood right in front of them. To Rems' question, there were only two words that he said:

*DOOM MUSIC STOPS

"Goblin Slayer."
