Cow Girl/Synopsis

## Chronology

### Background

Cow Girl is the childhood friend of Goblin Slayer, and her uncle took her to his farm when she was eight years old. She is the only other survivor of her hometown besides Goblin Slayer, by virtue of working out of town just before the Goblin horde attacked.

### Year One Volume 1

Five years later, Cow Girl was looking at all the people entering the city to become Adventurers when she briefly spotted what she suspected to be her childhood friend. Later, she saw him again and rushed toward him to confirm her suspicions. She became overjoyed to see that she was right and managed to convince her uncle to let him stay at the farmhouse.

Wanting to know more about adventurers, Cow Girl uses her uncle's delivery to the town to go to the Adventurer's Guild. Intimidated by the amount of adventurers, she was caught off guard when Guild Girl greeted her. Flustered, Cow Girl managed to tell her that she was from the farm and that she would start coming here to help her uncle.

### Year One Volume 2

As Goblin Slayer began tutelage with Arc Mage, Cow Girl found herself getting a little jealous until Arc Mage calmed her nerves, informing her Goblin Slayer came to her for knowledge.

After Arc Mage ascended to "Beyond the Board", Cow Girl helped Goblin Slayer move all her books, tomes, and equipment to his shed where he would use them in his future research. She also helped in donating the majority of the books to the Temple of the God of Knowledge.

### Year One Volume 3

When Goblin Slayer had been scouted to be promoted to Steel Rank, Cow Girl congratulated him but realized he had no clue how to properly present himself before a Promotion Board, so she volunteered to help clean his armor in order to at least look presentable. She also encouraged him to at least try to take the promotion seriously, as she could see he didn't realize how important promotion was and wished him good luck. Later when Examiner passed by her Farm, she mistook her for Goblin Slayer's wife, causing her to lose her cool and correct her.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 1

After waking up to greet Goblin Slayer, Cow Girl went with him to the Adventurer's Guild to make a delivery. Shortly after they arrived, the surrounding adventurers openly displayed their contempt for Goblin Slayer, which Cow Girl, along with Guild Girl, became irritated with. Upon seeing Priestess, she was surprised to see that Goblin Slayer had acquired a companion. After returning to the farm, her Uncle told her that Goblin Slayer was not the same person as he was in the past and that it would be better to avoid him. Cow Girl simply responded that she was going to wait a little longer.

When Goblin Slayer realized that a horde of goblins was going to attack, Cow Girl was urged to flee to the town. Despite the risk, Cow Girl refused to abandon the farm, which she saw as the only place that she and Goblin Slayer to come home to. With this, Goblin Slayer had returned with a small army of Adventurers to protect the Farm, with Druid Girl being placed in charge of guarding Cow Girl. Once Goblin Slayer defeated the Goblins alongside the town's Adventurers, Cow Girl and her uncle attended the subsequent festivities.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 2

Cow Girl caught Goblin Slayer attempting to sneak into the farmstead unnoticed. After making him greet her properly, she watched as he was making egg bombs. Cow Girl asked if he was able to take a break the next day, only to learn that Guild Girl had called him in for a special quest.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 3

A day before the Harvest Festival, Cow Girl and Goblin Slayer noticed that the fragrant olives were blooming; Cow Girl asked him if he knew what they meant in flower language, which Goblin Slayer was unable to recall. Goblin Slayer then told Cow Girl that he was going on a date with Guild Girl during the Festival. Acknowledging that she beat her to it, Cow Girl asked what time he would go; upon finding out the date was at noon, Cow Girl asked to take him out for the morning. She jumped for joy after he accepted, explaining that they hadn't gone to a festival in ten years.

When morning came, Cow Girl couldn't decide what to wear and began to panic. Her Uncle came and gifted her with her mother's dress, and he wished her luck and a good time at the Festival. During their date, Goblin Slayer found and gifted her a ring, which she requested he put on her right ring finger. They later ran into Rookie Warrior and Scout Boy who were trying to win prizes for their partners Apprentice Cleric and Druid Girl, and they were sadly failing miserably while Half-Elf Light Warrior teased them. Cow Girl encouraged Goblin Slayer to play the ball toss and much to her happiness, he aced the game, leaving everyone amazed at his skill.

After the Festival, Cow Girl asked Goblin Slayer to escort her back home, so Guild Girl could have her "date" with Goblin Slayer. As she waited for his return, she noted the sudden nightly storm and was spooked when Goblin Slayer came back and ordered her to stay indoors as he "handled something". She understood, but was taken aback comically when he requested her stew for breakfast, to which she agreed but ordered him to stay safe.

The next morning, Cow Girl was cleaning Goblin Slayer's ears outside the farm when his party arrived to inform him of a goblin quest. Before Goblin Slayer left, he told her that he researched the meaning of fragrant olives, but stated they didn't fit him. Once he left, Cow Girl, knowing the flowers represented purity, humility, true love, and first love, murmured that they fit perfectly.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 4

With the waning days of Autumn and the harvest taken care of, Cow Girl is approached by her friend Padfoot Waitress to find a meal that Goblin Slayer would eat at her tavern, to which she suggests the stew she makes. However, she admitted she was confused as to why she wanted to know so badly.

Later, Cow Girl was shocked to hear her Uncle suggest she take the day off to hang out in town with friends. Cow Girl was hesitant to the idea though, wondering if she really had anyone in town to call her "friend", wondering if Padfoot Waitress and Guild Girl even counted among friends or more like acquaintances she worked with. In town, Cow Girl had run into Priestess who couldn't go with Goblin Slayer on his latest quest because "she wasn't feeling well", Cow Girl got the hidden meaning and dropped the subject. The two decided to spend their day off together and went into the Smith's shop where they found the completed version of Goblin Slayer's helmet and tried it on. The two also found a pair of revealing Chainmail Bikini sets and at Cow Girl's urging and Apprentice Boy's glee, the girls tried them on, Cow Girl liked the armor but found that it was a "little tight in the chest", much to Priestess' jealousy.

Out in the Guild, Cow Girl and Priestess ran into Guild Girl and High Elf Archer who were playing with Inspector in a TRPG and had just lost their campaign. The group invited them to play and Cow Girl chose to play as a "Human Knight" which resembled Goblin Slayer. Though she and the ladies played a great campaign, they still lost but she was happy that had a good time.

By the time Goblin Slayer returned to the Farm, he had gifted her with quite a few coins for her as a present for her birthday. Instead of getting angry at the cop-out, she laughed it off and explained he wouldn't get out of it so easily, and requested that he accompany her to town at some point to use the money to buy her a proper birthday gift. He agreed which pleased her as she continued making dinner with the corn he had brought home.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 5

As Goblin Slayer was called upon to rescue a runaway Noble girl that suddenly lost contact, Noble Fencer, Cow Girl saw Goblin Slayer off and wished him luck. Later, she visited the Guild as it began to snow and talked with Guild Girl about Goblin Slayer's latest mission as Spearman and Witch returned from a quest.

After Goblin Slayer returned, Cow Girl made up a lunch box for him as she knew he would be on patrol during the New Year's Celebration. As she enjoyed the New Year's celebration at the Guild with the others, she requested that Priestess send the lunch to Goblin Slayer and asked him to keep the stoic Adventurer company.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 6

Making good on her word, Noble Fencer, now "Female Merchant", makes a training ground for rookie Adventurers which Cow Girl notes is being built on the ruins of Goblin Slayer and her old hometown. While she was taken aback like Goblin Slayer, she accepted that things were better this way for her, Goblin Slayer, and the area to move on.

Later on, Goblin Slayer brought a guest over, Wizard Boy, on the request of Guild Girl to keep an eye on his suicidal overconfidence, and Cow Girl happily greeted them. When asked if she was Goblin Slayer's wife, she quickly confirmed she was, despite Goblin Slayer correcting her. Although her uncle wasn't exactly thrilled with playing host to Wizard Boy, who was being an ungrateful snobbish brat, Cow Girl was happy to have company over and made a big meal for Dinner and Breakfast.

After the Training Center was in operation, Cow Girl delivered free meals to the trainees, something Rookie Warrior was *extremely* grateful for. Cow Girl also was approached by Spearman who wanted to know if it was okay to "borrow" Goblin Slayer for a "Guy's Night Out", which she happily encouraged Goblin Slayer to have fun with his "friends" for a change.

When the night's fiasco with the Goblins invading the training center was handled, Cow Girl went with Goblin Slayer as he saw Wizard Boy and Rhea Fighter off on their new Adventure.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 7

As Summer arrives, Goblin Slayer invites Cow Girl as his "plus one" to High Elf Archer's older sister's, the Forest Princess, wedding. Cow Girl was immediately charmed by the idea of going to an Elf wedding, like she always dreamed of as a small girl, even teasing Goblin Slayer about promises he made when he was young to marry her, which he claimed he "didn't remember".

### Goblin Slayer Volume 8

Cow Girl sees Goblin Slayer off and wishes him luck on his latest adventure as he is requested to guard Sword Maiden on her trip to the Capital.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 9

During a particularly long and cold winter, Cow Girl volunteers to deliver goods out of the village with Goblin Slayer. Her Uncle chastises her for thinking she could wear a long dress in the middle of a blizzard, so she switches to riding pants. As she and Goblin Slayer venture forth, she was looking forward to the day trip and envisioned how nice the trip would be, however, they are swiftly attacked by an Ogre and his small horde of Goblins. Thanks to Goblin Slayer's quick thinking, the two are able to use the blizzard to escape to an abandoned village.

For two nights they are able to evade the Ogre and his Goblins, first in a shack and then in a well with breath rings, all the while feeling she was being a burden to Goblin Slayer despite his reassurances. When the Ogre found some hostages, Goblin Slayer caused a diversion allowing Cow Girl to escape back to the Frontier Town for help. She makes it back to her Farm and warns her Uncle who prepared to get help, but Goblin Slayer returns thanks to the timely arrival of the rest of his Party much to her relief.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 10

During the late spring, Cow Girl noticed strange happenings affecting the Frontier Town, especially towards the Temple of the Earth Mother and her Uncle's Farm. This came to a head when Cow Girl learned a shady Wine Merchant from Water Town was trying to buy her Uncle's Farm and eve sweetened the deal by offering a marriage for Goblin Slayer to a Lady of influence, *shocking* Cow Girl.

After the everything was settled, Cow Girl helped her Uncle set up a stall in the Festival and joined in with the other girls in squashing the grapes for the Earth Mother's wine.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 11

As Goblin Slayer was recruited to assist Female Merchant in the Desert Kingdom, Cow Girl approached his studies about the Kingdom with great enthusiasm. As he studied, she realized Goblin Slayer seemed off and got him to admit he felt like he betrayed her by going to a new country without her, while he got made at her for going into town without him as a child. Cow Girl found it hilarious that he was still bothered about how he yelled at her after all these years and told him to worry about it. She praised Goblin Slayer for agreeing to help his friend and encouraged him to continue helping people.

A couple days later, Cow Girl went to the guild to talk to Guild Girl about the camel that Goblin Slayer had sent to her from the Desert Kingdom. While Guild Girl though it was hilarious that Goblin Slayer sent back a camel as she admitted she heard a lot of people talking about the "Lumpy Donkey" in town, Cow Girl admitted she had no idea what to do with it, but her Uncle was already trying experimenting with her milk.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 12

Cow Girl awakens and as she's admiring the Red Dragon scale necklace Goblin Slayer got her, she realizes Winter is coming in early and that her and her uncle's winter sweaters were beginning to fray, as well as her get tight in her chest. Cow Girl decided to make new sweaters for them and Goblin Slayer, but realized she didn't know Goblin Slayer's measurements, so she visited the Guild to ask Smith and Apprentice Boy. Due to the war in the East however, both were busy filling orders for the army, but Padfoot Waitress agreed to help if she taught her how to knit a sweater for Apprentice Boy.

Cow Girl went to visit the Guild hall when she had time off and talked with Guild Girl about the state of the War in the East now that the Desert Princess had reclaimed her throne thanks to the efforts of the Kingdom. As they celebrated the end of war with Inspector and Padfoot Waitress, Rhea Chef treated the ladies with some hot cocoa which made Padfoot Waitress drunk somehow much to Cow Girl's amusement.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 13

As Cow Girl and her Uncle took stock of their Winter supplies, Cow Girl was taken aback by her Uncle's announcement that *he* would handle any winter deliveries this year, after what happened last year. Though annoyed with his over protection, she admitted she couldn't refute his claims.

After Goblin Slayer returns home and explains he has been requested to be the "Dungeon Master" of the coming Practice Dungeon that Guild Girl was devising; something that intrigued Cow Girl. After hearing the explanation, Cow Girl encouraged Goblin Slayer to do his best and got excited about what she and her Uncle would sell at a stall during the Winter Festival.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 14

Sensing that Goblin Slayer was "off" lately, Cow Girl talked with Priestess and High Elf Archer about trying to convince Goblin Slayer to go on a real adventure for a change instead of his usual Goblin Slaying. Given it was Winter, Cow Girl was told that the Goblins hibernating so she reasoned it was the perfect time for him to try a change of pace.

Later, Goblin Slayer reveals he has decided to go on a adventure to the far North, and while Cow Girl is excited for him, she joking makes mention that if he does bring her a souvenir, to not bring home *another* animal for her.

Upon his return for the North, Cow Girl marveled at the gifts Goblin Slayer brought back including a seax blade and a special mead that the Vikings *insisted* that Cow Drink drink with Goblin Slayer; unawares of the Viking custom of only a husband and wife may share a cup of mead together.
