Goblin Slayer/Relationships

Due to his slight mental instability, unkempt appearance, and obsession with killing goblins, many are wary of interacting with Goblin Slayer. At the same time, Goblin Slayer is respected by those who know the true danger of goblins and has been even called a hero among the frontier for his actions against goblins and how he has protected many villages from them.

## Family

### Goblin Slayer's Sister

Goblin Slayer deeply loved and respected his elder sister, saying that she never failed at anything. Witnessing her torture and death greatly affected his psyche, haunting him to this day.

Goblin Slayer has expressed regret that he wasn't a better little brother as a child, causing trouble for her. He also stated the belief that having to look after him, his presence "trapped" her in their village, as otherwise she probably would have moved away and gotten married. However, High Elf Archer's cousin denounced his pessimism as foolishness, as all things are one in life, and told him that something as simple as location would not change how happy one felt.

## Party Members

### Priestess

Priestess is the first party member of Goblin Slayer to work alongside him. They met when he saved her from being raped and killed by goblins during her disastrous first adventure. He tried to dissuade her from accompanying him, knowing it would be dangerous, but she followed regardless. Because of this, Goblin Slayer plans all of his adventures by putting the priestess's well-being first, attempting to maximize her survival even above his own

Unlike the rest of his acquaintances, Goblin Slayer absolutely trusts the priestess, being the only one capable of slowing him down or lecturing him when he takes his hunts too far. This deep trust in each other has caused them to rarely be separated and has even led the Goblin Slayer to stop their adventures if she is not there, this close relationship made Goblin Slayer consider her his right-hand woman and his most important person when it comes to adventures.

### High Elf Archer

At first, Goblin Slayer wanted nothing to do with the archer and the other adventurers she came with in regards to a great war, but decided to let them join his party upon knowing they were hunting goblins. Goblin Slayer teaches the archer about how to handle goblins, much to her disgust. He gets flustered with how the archer highly restricts his methodology of dispensing goblins, so he improvises to respect her wishes; which becomes more frustrating the more extreme the situation is. Like Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest, he has grown to care for her and even consider her and the rest of the party friends. When probed by the archer's sister as to whether the girl causes him trouble, he denies it and admits she's often of help.

### Dwarf Shaman

Goblin Slayer and Dwarf Shaman are party members. Goblin Slayer trusts in Dwarf Shaman's spells in combat.

### Lizard Priest

Goblin Slayer and Lizard Priest are party members. They fight side by side a majority of the time and are on good terms with each other. Lizard Priest is even more willing to help out Goblin Slayer if he is offered cheese in return.

## Allies

### Cow Girl

Goblin Slayer and Cow Girl were best friends when they were kids. By chance, they reunited as young adults and the elated girl allowed him to stay with her and her uncle, where they continue their friendship.

Despite the trauma he suffered and years of separation, he still cares deeply for her well-being in his own way. This is evident from when he makes traps around the house to prevent goblins from attacking and when he defends her uncle's farm from goblins, causing her to be thankful for his care for her safety. She is also pleased that he is opening up to her more with his new friends and finding it nice that he is taking it easy during his hunts.

His sister's influence and promise to Cow Girl's uncle has made him vow that he will never make her cry. As a result of this promise, he claims his own life is no longer within his discretion.

### Burglar

Burglar was the one who saved Goblin Slayer's life when he was still a boy, bringing him back to a cave where he was trained. He taught him basic combat, assassination, scout and everything related to mass murder of an entire nest. Burglar loved to recite poems and riddles whenever he gave him hellish training to make Goblin Slayer more disciplined. He also taught him to be an independent person, which Goblin Slayer cited that Burglar didn't teach him to become a party member. Despite this poor treatment in training, Goblin Slayer is very grateful toward Burglar and wonders where he is.

### Sword Maiden

After defeating the goblins in the Water Town sewers, Goblin Slayer finds out she wanted to have the public fear the goblins as she does; Goblin Slayer is unable to understand her feelings, but promises to kill any goblins at her request, even the ones in her dreams.

He has accepted requests from her that did not involve goblins, including acting as an observer during a promotion exam and going on a date with her during the festival.
