Chapter 02:- A Formal Request
Opening Theme: Rightfully - Mili
Ending Theme: アルカテイル - Konomi Suzuki
-The sight of a ground dragon was seen running through the buildings on the mountain as it was running past Goblins and other monsters as it would then enter the cave-
Beast: M-My Lord! I bring you a message!
-The sound of heavy breathing was heard as the eyes of the powerful demon dragon was seen deep within the cave, the large dragon walked out of its dark side to see the smaller beast as it looked down at it-
Abaddon: What is it?
Beast: A-A well known Adventurer was seen with his party, heading towards the territory of the West...
Abaddon: The fallen Kingdom of the Dark Elves, Verano. Who is this...Adventurer?
Beast: A mass murderer of the Goblins, they call him "Fuil feòil"..
Abaddon: Meat Blood? Weak Goblins cannot even defeat a Human? Pathetic.
Beast: The man is not alone, he has a party, my Lord. One being a lizardman, Dwarf, a High Elf and a human Priest.
Abaddon: From my absence, how many Goblins has he slain?
Beast: Too many to count, my Lord..
Abaddon: This is not of any importance to me, Goblins are easy to repopulate and multiple, just like the Humans. However, I do not want this menace to be a nuisance in the future.. -He'd blink slowly as the giant dragon would grin slightly and breath out a little spark of flames from its nostrils as it stared at the little ground dragon in front of it- I have a task for you.
Beast: Y-Yes my Lord! Anything! -The ground dragon said as it bowed down with its two feet and looked downwards-
Abaddon: I shall grant you a name and bestow you an army of Direwolves to assist you.
Beast: A name, my Liege?
Abaddon: Yes, you shall be Midas, leader of the Silver Horde. -The dragon's eyes brightened up as his eyes glowed and the ground dragon in front of him would begin to grow and become larger in size as it became a Tyrannosaur- Go, young leader, eliminate this Human and his friends and make me proud.
Midas: Yes, my Lord! I'll do whatever it takes to grant you your wish! -The Tyrannosaur bowed and quickly ran out of the cave as it would roar loudly as a hundred of dark silver-backed wolves would gather in front of the Tyrannosaur and would charge out of the mountain and head to the west-
-In a carriage, the sight of Goblin Slayer and his group were seen heading towards the Water Town-
Priestess: Goblin Slayer-san, may I ask a question?
Goblin Slayer: What is it?
Priestess: Why are we heading towards the Water Town?
Goblin Slayer: To find the woman.
Priestess: The woman?
Dwarf Shaman: You don't mean, that blonde lady, lad?
Goblin Slayer: Yes, her.
Dwarf Shaman: Oh? You miss her?
-Both Priestess and the High Elf Archer would pout as they looked at Goblin Slayer-
Goblin Slayer: No, but I'd like to ask her a few things regarding the Kingdom of Verano.
Lizard Priest: Wise decision, she may know a lot more things about that fallen kingdom.
Goblin Slayer: Indeed, which is why I want to personally ask her. She may be of use to the rest of us as well.
Elf Archer: Useful to us? Come again?
Goblin Slayer: Taking on two champions and a possible horde isn't something I'd want to face against in an open area, I'd like her help, since I was told she is quite skilful in swordsmanship.
Priestess: But she's a busy person! You can't just ask her to work with us for free! It's rude and she's an Archbishop!
Elf Archer: Yeah! You really think she's going to help us?
Goblin Slayer: Do not worry, I know what to do, just leave it to me.
-Moments later in Water Town, Priestess waited for Goblin Slayer outside of the Town Hall while High Elf Archer along with the Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest would head to a nearby eatery and wait there while Goblin Slayer entered the building, only to be greeted by an extremely beautiful blonde woman whose eyes were covered with a blindfold. She wore white robes with blue outlines that slightly resembles Priestess's main outfit and a golden decoration around her hip while holding onto a concealed blade on her left arm as the woman was none other than the Sword Maiden-
Sword Maiden: Ah, Goblin Slayer-san! It's been so long~
Goblin Slayer: Yeah.
Sword Maiden: Have you come to pray and visit the Church?
Goblin Slayer: -He shook his head slowly and would point at Sword Maiden as he would speak out to her- The reason why I am here right now is you. -He spoke honestly as the blonde woman would gasp softly as she blushed madly and smiled happily-
Sword Maiden: My~ How bold of you~ -She said with a happy tone as she would chuckle lightly and hold onto the man's hand lightly- But I am sure that there is something that you want to ask me, yes?
Goblin Slayer: Indeed. I have a few questions and a request.
Sword Maiden: Oh? What are the questions that you wish to ask of me?
Goblin Slayer: The fallen Kingdom of Verano. Have you ever been there?
Sword Maiden: When I was still an adventurer, yes. Yes I have, why?
Goblin Slayer: I took a quest that requires me to head to that fallen kingdom to eliminate two Goblin Champions there and I'd like to know of the place.
Sword Maiden: Well, it's filled with Goblins and stray souls. The kingdom became a natural base for the Goblins, so they have been using it for years.
Goblin Slayer: Why haven't you sent the army out to eradicate the Goblins?
Sword Maiden: The Goblins there have not attacked Water Town ever since they took over the Kingdom, since they are at war with another kingdom.
Goblin Slayer: Another Kingdom?
Sword Maiden: Yes, the Kingdom of Yggdrasil in the south, their powerful wizards and armoured knights have been at war against the hordes of Goblins for years but they could never once step foot into the fallen kingdom as they would get swarmed by the tiny monsters..
Goblin Slayer: How many Goblins are there to be exact?
Sword Maiden: I cannot say for sure but I can only roughly estimate it to be over the thousands. I-I'm sorry but I have not been getting any information about Yggdrasil's war with the Goblins ever since I became an archbishop here.
Goblin Slayer: I see.
Sword Maiden: Ah, and what was the request that you wanted to ask?
Goblin Slayer: I do not want to risk her life due to the lack of protection during our quest, if possible, would it be alright for you to join us?
Sword Maiden: -The woman smiled happily as she held onto both of Goblin Slayer's hands and looked up at him with a big smile on her face as she nodded in excitement- Of course! I'll gladly be of service for you!
Goblin Slayer: I see. Thank you very much. -He said as the woman would let go of his hand-
Sword Maiden: I'll prepare my things for travel then, perhaps I'll meet you outside of the building or is there a preferred place that you'd want me to go?
Goblin Slayer: I'll be heading to the eatery right outside of here with the others, meet us there once you are done.
Sword Maiden: Of course~
-Minutes later, Goblin Slayer exited the building as Priestess would walk up to him-
Priestess: Goblin Slayer-san! How did it go? Did she agree to come?
Goblin Slayer: Yes.
Priestess: Wow! How did you get her to join us?
Goblin Slayer: Nothing special. Let's go. -He said as the Priestess pouted since he didn't want to tell her how he got the Sword Maiden to follow them in their ridiculous quest. The two would then head out to the eatery to meet up with the others-
-Moments later, the sight of Sword Maiden was seen carrying a small bag while holding onto her sword as she would approach Goblin Slayer and his group-
Elf Archer: Y-You really got her to join us...
Goblin Slayer: Yes.
Sword Maiden: I have asked for a carriage with a few knights to join us.
Goblin Slayer: Good, then let's go then.
Elf Archer: Eh?! Already?!
Goblin Slayer: It is a two day trip, the faster we finish this quest, the earlier we'll get to head back.
Elf Archer: Sheesh, you're just using that as an excuse to kill Goblins..
Goblin Slayer: Am I?
Elf Archer: Shut up! I swear, I just hope your obsession with Goblins doesn't get us killed!
Goblin Slayer: I see.
Elf Archer: Stop saying that!
-On the other side of the country, the horde of Direwolves were seen running together with a large black Tyrannosaur that had glowing yellow veins and bright red eyes as the horde was heading towards the fallen kingdom of Verano and were moving swiftly-
