“The Fate of Particular Adventurers”
On the first day that the Priestess became an adventurer, she joins three other rookie adventurers on a quest to save some girls who were kidnapped by some goblins. Despite being one of the weakest monsters around, the rookie adventurers fall for some traps that were set for them in the goblin cave, which leads to dire results. A goblin was about to attack the Priestess when a mysterious armored figure appears before her. The armored figure then mercilessly starts slaughtering the goblins and tells the Priestess that his name is Goblin Slayer.
“Goblin Slayer”
The Goblin Slayer is a silver-ranked adventurer covered in armor from head to toe. The Goblin Slayer never accepted any quests from the Adventurers' Guild other than quests to slay goblins so he was perceived as strange by the other guild members. Ever since she was saved by the Goblin Slayer the Priestess had been joining him on quests and slowly began to understand how he functions.
