Goblin Slayer leaves the meeting room in episode 3 and hears something that actually gets a reaction out of him.
What?
"Rumor has it he uses Newbies as bait."
"He'd never do that!" Priestess said.
Goblin Slayer heard it and froze.
"Hold it Orcbolg." High Elf Archer said bumping into him as he stopped at the top of the stairs.
"shut up." Goblin Slayer said walking down.
he approached the two Porcelain Adventurers and stood at full hight. "Excuse me would you repeat that?"
"Repeat what?" Apprentice Cleric asked.
"What you just said to Priestess." Goblin Slayer said.
"Uh it wasn't me." Apprentice Cleric said shoving Rookie Warrior forward.
grabbing the back of her shirt Goblin Slayer lifted both of them. "I heard you say it I just wanna make sure I hadn't miss heard."
"There's a rumor you use Newbies as Goblin bait." Apprentice Cleric said.
Goblin Slayer had went still. Apprentice Cleric dangle by her robes as Goblin Slayer's other hand was on Rookie Warriors shoulder pad.
"Who said that?" Goblin Slayer said.
"I don't know I just heard it from someone. don't feed me to goblins!" Apprentice Cleric screamed.
"WHAT?!" Goblin Slayer eye was glowing.
Spearman had gotten over trying to stop him but a sword was drawn. "Stay out of this."
"Beard Cutter what is going on?" Dwarf Shaman asked.
"They..." Goblin Slayer dropped Apprentice Cleric and the shoulder pad of Rookie Warrior had be crushed. "They think I'd..."
Goblin Slayer was shaking. he knew he was a weirdo. he knew they didn't like him very much. he knew he was a Goblin obsessed lunatic but...what?
He fell over. his body trembling. why did his eyes sting? why did his chest hurt?
"Is this why I've been alone for 3 years?!" Goblin Slayer asked looking up at the few people in the Guild Hall "Do you really think I'd..."
"am I really as bad as a Goblin to you all?" he asked.
"Sir Goblin Slayer." Lizard Priest moved over to him.
"Come on Orcbolg there just words." High Elf Archer tried to comfort him.
"Words that prevented people from partying with me." Goblin Slayer said "I've asked Porcelains who get the quests if they want the help. I've stopped saving them because I know I can't. have so many died just because they'd think I'd..."
"How many Adventurers have walked to their deaths because no one wants any of my help?" Goblin Slayer asked.
Guild Girl had walked over reaching for him but he didn't move.
"How long? How long has you all thought that?!" Goblin Slayer asked.
"I believe we're were all leaving Beard Cutter." Dwarf Shaman said.
Goblin Slayer wordlessly stood up and walked out.
Guild Girl walked behind the counter and cleared her throat. "Attention guild members I'd like to remind people that defamation of character is a punishable offense."
just wanted to write this. it could have gone with him being completely indifferent but think about it.
that one accusation could be the reason no one has ever thought to party with him.
"hey a silver rank willing to do the job for us? sounds great." never occurred to anyone? because that rumor has stopped a wave of potential goblin slayers to help him by training people.
tell me if you want me to continue this.
