## Official Description

*The snow rushing down from the mountains seems to wipe the whole world clean, and many things come to an end...*
— Chapter 54's official description.
## Full Summary

Goblin Slayer is nowhere to be seen after getting caught by the avalanche, but everyone save for Noble Fencer has faith in his resilience. As Noble Fencer bemoans having dragged Goblin Slayer into a mishap like her late party members, she suddenly bumps into a snow-covered Goblin Slayer, whom had used a breath ring to avoid suffocating. Goblin Slayer reveals he found her sword and hands it to Noble Fencer, who cries embracing it.

The group later attends new year celebrations at the Adventurer's Guild. Noble Fencer states she plans to visit her parents and make graves for her party members, as well as write letters to Goblin Slayer's party. The latter himself is not present at the festivities, so Cow Girl asks Priestess to deliver food to him. Soon enough, Priestess finds Goblin Slayer camping out on guard duty. Goblin Slayer reveals that the goblin paladin was working to build a refinery with the help of Noble Fencer's lightning, so that the goblins would be able to equip themselves with metal; Goblin Slayer confesses he doesn't know if he'll be able to keep up with the evolving goblins, but resolves to try regardless. Priestess scolds him for opting for incessant vigilance over spending time with friends. Goblin Slayer surprisingly agrees, though he admits parties aren't something he is into. After Priestess begins preparing stew, Goblin Slayer states he looks forward to more adventures with the party.

## Full Summary

Before the party can reach the warlock, the latter uses Shadow Self to create several copies of himself. Professor informs the party that the copies are mere decoys which couldn't use magic, and Elf Acolyte kills one by firing a single dart. When goblins rush toward them from behind, Dwarf Scout manages to kill most of them. She collapses after being wounded by a poisoned spear, but is saved by a Cure miracle from Elf Acolyte.

Moving to draw the warlock's fire, Young Warrior directs Martial Artist to find the real warlock. Martial Artist kicks who she thought was the warlock, but he turns out to be another copy; the real warlock slashes her from behind, but only manages to graze her shoulder. The warlock casts another Blizzard spell, prompting Professor to use his remaining Counterspell to impede his magic. Determined not to lose another party, Young Warrior manages to push through the blizzard and stop the blizzard by cutting off the warlock's left hand. With Professor's last spell spent, the party flees outside the cave.

Upon seeing Martial Artist's bandaged wound, Young Warrior apologizes. However, Martial Artist tells him not to, as she did what she had to and that they were a party. Young Warrior confesses that he only meant to go with them for the one quest, but backlash from the rookies convinces him to keep accompanying them. He acknowledges to himself that adventurers were responsible for themselves, but resolves to keep fighting with the rookies for now.

## Major Events

* Not wanting to take more unnecessary risks, the party is forced to retreat from the cave.

## Chapter Notes

Padfoots

**Padfoots** (パットフット, *Pattofutto*), also known as **beast folk** (獣人), are a diverse race of humanoids known for their beast-like features.

## Overview

Padfoots can have a variation of beast-like features not common to just one particular animal. Due to this diversity however, they hardly ever unite under one cause and often live in tribes. Padfoots have gestures unique to their beast-like features that other races may not pick up on (such as swift flicking of the tail indicating anger).

However not everyone with beast-like features are padfoots such as lizardmen and harefolk.

Rock Eaters

**Rock Eaters** (岩喰怪虫 (ロックイーター) , *Rokkuītā*) are large monsters inhabiting underground areas that consume rocks, gems, and occasionally people. One Rock Eater was confronted by numerous adventurers in an abandoned mine.

## Overview

Rock Eaters rely on vibrations to locate prey before digging out of the walls underground to attack. They have a hard thick shell that makes them very resistant to physical and magical attacks, making it necessary to deal attacks to the mouth, feet, between its plates, or to the eye to damage it. Fortunately, their mouths seemed very sensitive to pain, as a single sword thrust into one's maw was enough to make it stop in its tracks and recoil.

## Appearance

The appearance of a Rock Eater is comparable to a large many-legged insect, which results in frequent confusion between them and giant centipedes. A single eye is located above the largemouth that sports numerous rows of massive teeth.

## Full Summary

Arc Mage stresses over not having enough time to solve the puzzle as the goblins threaten to break through Goblin Slayer's defenses.

**Year One** reveals that Witch's feelings for Spearman began in their rookie years; when he had not only saved her from a large Rock Eater when her spells were ineffective, but also because Spearman was the first man to ever have the courage to approach her. Falling for him, she shyly requested to be partnered with him. Witch hopes to form a romance with Spearman in time, only to be annoyed at his constant flirtations with every other girl he meets.

Her feelings for Spearman are also pretty obvious, to the point where rookies, even brand new ones like Wizard Boy, and Guild employees like Padfoot Waitress blatantly spell out to Spearman how obvious her feelings are.

## Allies

### Goblin Slayer

Unlike most other adventurers, Witch respects him and acknowledges that his work is for the good of the common villagers. Untroubled by his oddity, she is willing to help him out when asked. Witch believes Goblin Slayer finding love would help his emotionally stunted state, going out of her way to advise the many suitors that Goblin Slayer unknowingly has, encouraging them to be more aggressive in their pursuits of his heart.

Upon seeing his unmasked face, Witch commented that Goblin Slayer was rather handsome, but she often hints that she always knew what he looked like under his helmet. When he came to the Guild unarmored once, no one recognized him, but Witch gave enough hints that she knew who he was.

### Priestess

Witch seems to like Priestess, helping her out when other adventurers are trying to recruit her, and giving her advice about how to proceed with Goblin Slayer.

### Guild Girl

Witch is jealous of Guild Girl since Spearman seems to be infatuated with her as he is the object of her affection. She attempts to mask her irritation whenever Spearman flirts with Guild Girl, but the receptionist can see right through it. Despite this conflict, the two appear to hold a bond over the fact that they both are vying for the attention of a man who does not show them romantic interest. Witch even goes so far as to commend her for inviting Goblin Slayer to accompany her in the Harvest Festival.

### Cow Girl

Witch met Cow Girl when she was still in her "lone survivor syndrome", still not recovered from the sudden deaths of her parents and everyone she ever knew. She seemed to sense the girl needed help and agreed to accept a meager reward to help escort her back to the ruins of her home village, so she could find closure and let her have as much time as she needed, even if it annoyed Spearman. As they left, Witch gave Cow Girl the advice to cut her hair, so that she could start her life anew (it is popular in Japanese tradition for girls to cut their hair short to symbolize a change in their lives) and show everyone her "pretty face".
Year One Manga Chapter 35

This is the thirty-fifth chapter of the Year One manga.

## Official Description

Finally out on their "date", Witch puts honest effort into getting closer to Spearman. But his particular brand of honesty isn't what she was expecting!

## Full Summary

As Spearman and Witch went over their quest to slay a warlock, the latter asked him why he always talked to her. In response, Spearman brought up her appearance as well as her proficiency with magic. When prompted for anything else, Spearman told her about how she went with him to take Cow Girl's quest despite the meager reward, which gave him the impression that she was a good person. Witch is hesitant to believe she could be considered as such, but Spearman tells her the fact that he appreciates her appearance, abilities, and heart had to have made her happy.

Witch's Silence spell prevents the warlock from casting his magic, enabling Spearman to decapitate him. After stumbling across the shattered remains of petrified goblins, the two are ambushed by a large bird-like creature.

He flings it off and resorts to killing it unarmed, then retrieves his weapon and kills the other goblin with it. Soon, the nest descends upon him, so he opts to fight with his back to the wall to not give them another opportunity to attack from behind. He manages to defeat them, including a hobgoblin, but in the midst of thinking about what to learn from this encounter, he is stabbed in the back by a goblin he had missed.

Lizardmen

**Lizardmen** (蜥蜴人 (リザードマン) , *Rizādoman*), called "**Dreki**" in the North, are large lizard-like humanoids that are covered in hide and possess tails and are long-lived. They are seen as more akin to monsters with their rather intimidating visage, however, there are friendly tribes of them that exist. In the Four-Cornered World, they mainly make their homes in the Southern Regions; particularly the swampy rain forests.

## Overview

Occasionally, one from such tribes will decide to become an Adventurer. As a race, they have always been Fighters and often made superior medics.  Though not as prevalent now, the act of "Bride Taking" was a common act amongst the Lizardmen race, something their females preferred acknowledging their mate was strong enough to claim them; though the act is not as common as it used to be.

Lizardmen do not raise livestock, as they much rather prefer to hunt animals than nurture them. This makes animal products like cheese a rare commodity to them. Additionally the Lizardmen do not keep written records, committing everything to memory. They live in large colonies and will celebrate in grant gatherings when occasion calls for it.

Like Elves, they live in forests, preferably of a swamp environment thanks to the humidity; Lizardmen also tend to be thrive in a desert environment as well. Their reptilian nature makes them more susceptible to cold climates of ice and snow. Thus the northerners such as the Vikings rarely see them.

## Religion

Lizardman religion is a rather unique practice in the Four-Cornered World. Rather than worship any of the Order or Chaos aligned Gods and Goddesses, Lizardmen venerate their fallen Draconic ancestors; better known as the *Dinosaurs* and believe in the concept of Evolution over Creationism. While most of their beliefs are not elaborated on, the general goal for the Lizardfolk is to distinguish and strengthen themselves to the point where they will evolve into a Dragon.

Their views and deification on Evolution gives the Lizardfolk a rather "unique" view on their peers. Case in point, they do not believe in the concept of a "Heaven" or "Hell", believing all return to Nature upon death. They also view the more humanoid races as descended from monkeys. Their living in harmony with Nature also gives them somewhat similar views to Elves, but only to the point of respecting and living with Nature as Elves do believe in a higher power.

## Trivia

* Since Lizardmen do not worship traditional Gods, they rely on Dinosaur bones to be used as catalysts to perform Miracles. This makes their Priest more akin to Shamans (wizard who utilize catalysts to preform Spells) than a tradition Priest or Cleric.
* As of writing, there has been no female Lizardman introduced into the story.

Like Fighter, Warrior was very welcoming towards her (believing that a cleric/healer in their party will prove vital for their mission). When Priestess expressed doubts about their chances without any real preparations, he proudly assures her that the mission would be a cakewalk.
Trolls

## Monster Information

**Trolls** are a race of large and powerful monsters known for their regenerative powers.

## Overview

Trolls are slow and dim-witted, but possess great amounts of strength and can regenerate any wound not inflicted by fire or acid. Unlike ogres, they lack the ability to use magic.

She then brought the visitors to her husband and introduced them, before offering them hospitality in the village and a place to stay. Later that day the Húsfreya provides the travelers a tour of the village and its operations and explains the crane invention in their ports to them. As they continue, Húsfreya becomes very friendly with Priestess who begins to look up to her for her beauty and maturity.

## Abilities

In battle, the Húsfreya wields a spear and shield. The Húsfreya is a strong warrior and also a powerful cleric in service to the "Mother of Darkness" Goddess, allowing her access to powerful Miracles.

### Miracles

* **Lightning Armor**: She can summon an armor made of Lightning to envelop others to greatly enhance their defensive and offensive capabilities.

## Relationships

### Viking Chieftain

* According to her husband, she is called the "One-Eyed Bear" in The Kingdom; while she is unbothered by the alias, her husband isn't amused.
