The Red-Headed Wizard Boy Priestess takes the lead on the next goblin slaying quest and learns an adventurer party has already gone missing, worrying Priestess at the fate of the female adventurers. Wizard boy is baffled they actually stop to decide on tactics, still insisting goblins are unintelligent beasts. They start killing goblins but Wizard Boy is angry they are moving too slowly. He foolishly rushes ahead upon hearing a female prisoner being tortured and though he kills his first goblin he is surrounded by goblins and a troll. Priestess starts to panic so Goblin Slayer takes charge, quickly formulating a plan that kills the troll and the goblins and rescues the prisoner. Wizard Boy still refuses to admit Goblin Slayer was right about goblins, revealing his older sister was killed by goblins on her first quest and was mocked by her classmates for it. He is determined to prove her death was due to bad luck and not because she was actually defeated by mere goblins. Priestess realizes his sister was Wizard, one of her teammates who died the day she met Goblin Slayer. Goblin Slayer also realizes this and leaves to be alone, feeling guilty about his failure to save Wizard.
