## Chronology

### Goblin Slayer Volume 2

Sword Saint fought a member of the Evil Sect along with Hero and Sage, announcing that his plans were discovered and that he had nowhere to flee. When Sage complained both she and Hero ruined a perfectly good ambush position with their announcement, Sword Saint countered that announcing themselves could throw the enemy off. As the two debate though, Hero single-handedly defeated all the enemies in one strike.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 3

The night before the festival, Sword Saint raised her sword at Goblin Slayer, thinking he was an undead or living armor. Upon noticing his silver tag, Sword Saint apologized, admitting she was a little hasty but did make a comment that regardless, his appearance in the dead of night was *very* suspicious.
Once Hero finished talking with him and ran off, Sword Saint and Sage went with her. Away from Goblin Slayer, Sword Saint admitted he was *too obvious* to be the evil man they were looking for, realizing who they were looking for would've at least *tried* to hide his appearance.

Later, Sword Saint follows her Party into the Spiritual realm where they do battle with the Hundred Handed Giant.
