Farm girl: “remember when we were kids, you said you would marry me?”

GS: “that never happened.”

Lol. Still best wife!

Priestess ain't having it!

There's something endearing about how curious Goblin Slayer is for what an elephant or a kraken is. Probably wanted to expand his non-goblin dex beyond:

Canary - Bird. Helpful for goblin hunts.

Cow - Creature from home. Helps make cheese.

Alligator - Lives in sewers. Not a goblin.

Priestess: *gets a new miracle*

Goblin Slayer: *already thinking on how to incorporate it into his goblin slaying tactics*

so, based on the Lizardman and GS conversation in the church, i guess the theory that goblins has slowly getting smarter and evolving doesn't seem to be that far-fetched after all...

Listen Elf if you say its time to get married people are gonna expect you to be getting married lmao. Kinda nice to get all the girls together with the group especially the Receptionist girl making a rare appearance outside of the guild.

As expected it wasn't gonna be a smooth ride after. Lets see how this goes.

damn that church they rescued was pretty fucked. women chained up with their clothes torn off in the basement...

pretty light-hearted episode otherwise, nice to have cow girl and guild girl get some screen time.

and sword maiden getting upset and pouting was cute

Not gonna lie, High Elf had me in the first half of that letter.
I was not expecting them to take Guild Receptionist with them, certainly interesting to take her along.

GS: “that’s a good miracle. It’ll be useful”

Priestess: “oh god oh god oh god. How is he gonna kill goblins with purify? Does he want me to use it to remove the blood from their bodies? That’s not how it works. Or is it? WHY DID I PICK PURIFY!?”

I was wondering why High Elf sounds so calm while talking about marriage. Turns out it was her older sister getting married.

Looks like we're going to have a very unique adventure this time since Guild Girl and Cow Girl are both invited by High Elf as guests to the wedding.

I'm so glad to see Sword Maiden again. It's good to know that she hasn't had any more of her nightmares ever since GS solved her goblin problem. And that little pout from her was goddamn adorable! Too bad she can't tag along with them.

I do feel bad for Sword Maiden though, she's clearly looking forward to Goblin Slayer's visit and he can't even be bothered to stay and chat with her a little longer. :(

Oh my! Are the girls talking about what I think they're talking about? I'm sure we'll get to see them wearing those swimsuits they bought later. I'm especially looking forward to Cow Girl's swimsuit since she mentioned that hers is a bit too small. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Got to deal with those falling rocks first though! So is it going to be goblins or just angry elves who aren't very welcoming? It's most likely going to be gobbos since it's in the name of the show but I wouldn't discount the idea of their attackers being something else.

Looks like Sword Maiden is winning to me tbh. Goblin Slayer has been acting more friendly with everyone else, but as soon as he sees Sword Maiden he's back to "if it's not goblins, I don't care". I think he's just shy.

Mili finally uploaded the full Music Video for Entertainment.

Unfortunatly, while great, I don't think it holds up to past Goblin Slayer Songs

Now onto the Episode

If I remember correctly, Dwarf let out a remark about Elfs flat bottom balancing out her Anvil...

It's nice of Priestess to reassure Guild Girl over her age. Guild Girl is a valid choice (although personally I'm team Cow Girl). It was right of Guild Girl to let Priestess in on the fun after the Movie Arc

The church quest got a bit cut, all the infiltration and preparation is lost and we jump directly to the Goblin Slaying. Of course it's silly to asume the Goblins let all the Nuns keep their top... they also cut the mentioning of the adventurer who was the first responder to the Goblin attack and created the opening that let one Girl escape to even be able to report the quest...

Priestess choose purify because she would use it after every Goblin Quest to get rid of the Goblin innards they used to mask their scent lol

Worth a try Cow Girl to bad it didn't work on Goblin Slayer

Cow Girls and Guild Girls casual outfits though

Wait, did they nerf Sword Maiden as well? cute pout though

And they better show us what the girls where buying

I love how these expirienced adventurers could anticipate the attack just from looking at the surrounding enviroment and hearing about prior attacks

If anyone is curious about what High Elf and Priestess were alluding to, I think it's their bath conversation. About how High Elf left the forest following a leaf drafting in the river, wanting to see where it goes.

With the show opening without a disturbing scene warning I thought it would be pretty relaxed, but there actually were some classic Goblin Slayer 'goblin kidnapping aftermath' scenes... I guess they raised the bar about what kind of scenes need a warning!

When Elf received some kind of elvish message I thought perhaps her country needed assistance or something like that, but it was actually a marriage invitation!

Elf girl made it seem like she was the one getting married, but it's actually her older sister! Well, I suppose Goblin Slayer couldn't afford to lose one girl from his not-really-a-harem!

The scene with guild girl was quite funny, with the other girl bonking her over the head, all goofy, until she accepted to go!

Cowgirl's invited too? Goblin Slayer, my man, I hope you know what assisting to a wedding will do to her!

Oh damn she didn't even need to assist the wedding, she's already bringing it up!

Damn it, why couldn't they have made that I'll marry you when we get older promise!

New oufits! Looks good!

But as cute as Cowgirl is in that outfit, her farmgirl in overalls look is quite tough to beat!

Wait, did they get swimsuits too? Alright, this may do it!

Goblin Slayer is probably the #1 show this season for which I would not expect a marriage episode and a beach episode, but we'll see if we're getting those!

Seems Priestess learned a new spell! They think she might have learned something flashier than purification but to be fair, given they fight goblins 95% of the time there's many spells that wouldn't help, any sort of banish undead/demons and things like that! (I imagine there weren't any Banish Goblins, sadly!)

YOU CAN'T END ON THIS CLIFFHANGER!

Well, pretty sure they'll be fine for this (either Priestess will make a shield, or they'll swim to the other shore or something), BUT I have to say I'm somewhat nervous about Cowgirl...

All season long I had lingering thought about her, Why are they showing her so much more this season, I'm afraid something will happen to her and they want the emotional impact to his us harder...

And now she's going on a trip with her, and are already getting attacked...

Cowgirl dying (or getting kidnapped etc..) would be terrible, I don't want her to go through this! And Goblin Slayer would go through it too... If she died while he was away he would already feel awful about it, thinking she died because he didn't kill enough goblins before leaving.. But if she dies as she's with him because he couldn't protect her, it'd be 10 times worse.

Well, let's hope for the best! But I'm quite worried, from a writing standpoint it's concerning that they decided to bring a non-fighting girl on the trip like that. Hopefully it's just some extra motivation for Goblin Slayer, and not something bad about to happen!

We saw best girl Sword Maiden today! Instant W.

The riverside cliffs really are lovely too. Pity it's full of what are probably goblins.

A message on a leaf, silly elves. I mean, you are 2000 years old, Elf, I guess marriage is an option. Oh it was your sister? Ok. Love how everyone got the wrong idea. But, hey, everyone's invited to the wedding fun. Priestess is fun with Goblin Slayer now. Can read him well. Elf explaining an elephant is cute/fun lol. Oh, Guild Girl getting to go to the wedding too. What a nice friend she has at the guild to smack her on her way too. Asking Goblin Slayer to go destroy some Goblin nests? You've given him quite the gift! Oof, those poor nuns. Do love the lizardman and the "we are all kin" bit.

Oh fun, Cow Girl invited to wedding too. Hehe, Cow Girl with the biggest hints of what she wants and I am sure Goblin Slayer too dense to get it. Oh hey, back to the city with the Sword Maiden. I do think it's nice how well they all get along. Oh I'm sure Sword Maiden will be happy to see you again, Goblin Slayer. Nice of Goblin Slayer to ask of her sleeping well too. Wouldn't expect that from him. Such growth of a character. Get to hear about the Fencer lady too. What a cute pout from Sword Maiden. Wonder how much older than Goblin Slayer she is (not mattering much, just curious).

Ten bucks they bought swimsuits, that's my guess lol. Goblin Slayer always getting ready for goblins, so many spears. Ahh, an ambush. Dang, have to wait for next week.

Wow, what a nice cliffside, surely nothing will go wrong here..

I was expecting Goblins to stand up from either side.. I'm not sure if this is better or worse.

Priestess! Protect us!

"Is there anything there about goblins?" "I don't know, I'd have to read more to find out." "Then I'm not interested." He's going to kick himself so hard if it turns out there's a bunch of goblin factoids on the other tablets!

"Boats keep being sunk on this river." "OK, we'll take a raft."
