The main girls in this show are like a small family together, at least from this episode.

Goblin Slayer seems like he's still busy with his usual work although it involves more into investigating than slaying goblins. Sword Maiden also appears more this episode and idk, it seems like she became more wise in this season.

Ah it's been a while since we've seen Sword Maiden. She was on one of the first KVs so I expected her to play a bigger role.

One day, High Elf Archer receives a letter from her family with big news. This led to her hastily returning home, accompanied by the Goblin Slayer and his party. Along the way, they were joined by the Cow Girl and the Guild Girl, making for a large group. They made a stop in the Water Town. There, the Goblin Slayer visited the Sword Maiden to request the deciphering of the clay tablet he had obtained in the previous battle.

I'm glad the dwarf put that elf in his place... lol. The whole guild was in shock, lmao. Considering how Cow Girl already acts like she's Goblin Slayer's wife, waiting for him for days, worrying about him endlessly, and cooking for him, Goblin Slayer better marry her or she'll end up alone for the rest of her life. And how will she manage, considering her uncle, though healthy, is still old and will pass away one day, leaving the farm to her? Watching this episode made me reflect on how shy Sword Maiden used to be compared to now. It's completely the opposite. She's very assertive. My only complaint about this episode is how the party just willingly walked into that trap. They knew about the mission boats and still chose to take the risk. Even if it wasn't goblins, it could have been some other type of monster. So why did the usually cautious Goblin Slayer decide to take that risk, especially with two non-adventurers in his group?

Well, it's still enjoyable to see all the characters we often see alongside Goblin Slayer finally gathered in one place, embarking on an adventure together.

Guild Girl in casual clothes. I am blessed.
16:31 Lol いけず (ikezu) - "unkind; mean" is Kansai dialect. Sword Maiden usually talks very formally so this is some good gap-moe.
Either goblins got smart enough to throw boulders at people or this is someone/something else.

I wonder if those stone tablets will come up again.

The sheer sadness in Cow Girl's voice, for not having a marriage promise in the past.

One way to cause a misunderstanding saying you get married while it's actually your sister it was resolved in the end tho.
Now a trip to the city and we got to see the sword maiden again things looked nice.
The Sluis reminded me of a few i have been in when i was still a child, it was on a trip and we had to operate them ourselves since they where to small to be staffed it was a fun experience.

Anyway the question is who is behind that trap they ran into on the cliffhanger.

There's something endearing about how curious Goblin Slayer is for what an elephant or a kraken is. Doesn't his non-goblin database only include like canaries and cows till now?

Guess in an age without instant comms the mailman would be highly regarded. Nice that we finally get to see the marriage arc get animated. Priestess sure has grown a lot to be able to drag GS to places by herself. The poor nuns though. Been a while since we saw Sword maiden. Nice to see her and Noble fencer are doing well after their respective ordeals. On the plus side it was cute seeing Sword maiden pout. Have to say this is a pretty rare event for Cow girl and Guild girl to be joining them as well. They really handled the tension for the gob ambush pretty well.

They don't even let you go to a wedding in peace. How good it is to see the priestess again.

Getting married at the age of 8000, it's never too late. It's great that all four of the girls is going. It's fun to see them together. We finally got to see the archbishop again. Would have been great if she also joined them but guess she can't leave. Also damn she really wanted his attention but he's like you ain't goblin so. Btw the part with the nuns was heartbreaking.

His goblin slaying rizz is crazy. Looking forward to the wedding. The party certainly deserves a fun break, but it would be cool to see a goblin raid.

Who wrote this stuff? Why would you skip to the end of the goblin killing?
That's the thing that I watch this show for, to see the characters kill goblins in new and interesting ways. Not for slice of life adventure stuff.
I want to know who thought it was a good idea to CUT OUT THE GOBLING SLAYING FROM A SHOW CALLED GOBLIN SLAYER and check if they have brain worms or something.

If only archbishop could join... we would have the whole goblin slayer harem at the same place.

Though I like Goblin slayer's priorities, if something has goblins in it, he's immediately in and if not, he couldn't give less of a fuck. Though this wedding is a great chance to take some time off, but hey as if it would be without some uncalled troubles. They've already been trapped now.

Bruh. High-Elf Archer randomly being married off would've been a plottwist for sure.

I feel like the animation of this episode was better than some of the previous episodes. Hopefully, it keeps getting better.

This episode was almost like a slice-of-life series episode if you ignored all the action.

That cliffhanger was intense. Wonder what's gonna happen. Especially at the wedding. I think there might be some sort of conspiracy going on.

@FarCritical Is an elephant related to goblins? No? Then he doesn´t care lol.
It´s true, it seems like his knowledge is about monsters and the animals that exist around him.

They really had us thinking elf archer was getting married for a second there lol, but it was revealed it’s actually her older sister marrying her cousin, I’m sure there’s a particular joke weebs love in there somewhere. And now the gang is on a journey to the wedding with Guild Girl and Cow Girl along for the ride as well, definitely not the party we’re used to but it’s nice seeing the main waifus of the show together.

It was also nice seeing the Sword Maiden again after a long time, I wasn’t sure if she’d be in this season or not so it was a nice surprise, seems she’s pretty hung up about Goblin Slayer too lol. And after an overall calm boat ride, the gang is now under attack by calling rocks which looks very bad, I’m definitely interested in seeing what the counter for this is.

The intro was quite misleading... lmao

I've got to enjoy this episode with most of the girls on a journey with Goblin Slayer!

The pacing is already perfect but it's still insufficient to satisfy me. I can't wait for the real action next week!

Another endearing scene:
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Well, cowgirl really looks like Goblin Slayer's wife.

Our friend is conquesting a harem and he isn't noticing that and Sword Maiden is the one who went to attack this episode.

Nice to see how she cares if he wants to know how she is doing and got jaeallous if don't.

I thought this was an alright episode, started to look like it might be going somewhere cool towards the end. Honestly though with only 12 episodes in a season I feel like they should not have any fluff yaknow.

It was nice seeing Guild Girl in casual clothes but it's too bad we didn't see the other girls in casual clothes although Cow Girl kind of looked like she was in them. I had almost forgotten about Sword Maiden since I believe this is the first time we're seeing her this season.

While this ended on a cliffhanger, Goblin Slayer and company seemed to be mostly prepared. Nonetheless I wonder why they chose to go on raft knowing that they were likely to be targeted unless it was either to hunt goblins and/or its the fastest way to High Elf's area.

Quite the lackluster episode and then to end up with a literal cliffhanger - pretty disappointing.

I would have intrigued to see more regarding the rescue of the nuns but I guess 1 full episode would have been overboard. Well, the stage has been set . I just hope it pays off in the next 2 episodes.

8000 years, the sister is at Galadriel level of lifetime.

Seeing Sword maiden pouting is so cute. Really Orcbolg should be a little more receptive to the women around him.

Otherwise why go through the river knowing that it is dangerous and that the group includes two non-combatants?
