"I'm not saving the world. I just kill goblins."
Rumor has it that, in a certain guild in the middle of nowhere, there is an extraordinary man who has climbed all the way to the Silver rank just by killing goblins. At the same guild, a priestess who's just become a new adventurer has formed her first party... and the man who ends up rescuing that party when they get into trouble is none other than the Goblin Slayer.
Spring has arrived, and with it, a brand new year for the adventurers. The Goblin Slayer's party continues with their local exterminations of those little green pests while trying to also watch out for unsuspecting new questers who might not fully know what they're getting into. This includes an upstart young wizard who the Slayer takes it upon himself to try to talk some sense into. When that seems to fail in the face of the boy's ambitions, a different approach is arrived at: Have Priestess, the Goblin Slayer's erstwhile comrade, be the one to take the new kid in and show him the ropes!
