[Shihoru's magic hit the giant goblin, momentarily stunning it...]
["Slap slap!"]
[A dwarf goblin hurriedly shook two large bags, rousing it awake!]
["Have they seen this magic before?"]
[Haruhiro was shocked. It seemed Shihoru's magic no longer had its previous effect on them!]
Squelch!
[At the same moment, an arrow pierced Mary's shoulder. Her clothes were dyed red with blood, and the intense pain made it hard for her to stand straight...]
["How dare you hurt Mary!"]
[Ranta flew into a rage and wanted to rush over to help her, but was intercepted!]
[Haruhiro charged forward but couldn't withstand its spear thrust!]
["Hal... Switch!"]
[Merry dashed over, and using the blue goblin's spear as leverage, struck its head with the back of her staff!]
["Gaaaaah!!!"]
[Haruhiro seized the chance to dive down and tackle it, stabbing his dagger into its waist repeatedly!]
Stab! Stab! Stab!
[The dagger was slick with blood. The blue goblin howled in agony but mustered its strength to flip over and grab Haruhiro's head—only to have its grip knocked away!]
[Haruhiro raised his dagger and thrust with all his might!]
Squelch—
[The dagger plunged into the blue goblin's palm. Both sides exerted their maximum strength...]
[Because neither wanted to die...]
Thud!
[The blue goblin kneed Haruhiro into the air, using the moment to escape, gravely wounded...]

[Reactions Across Worlds]
Blue Goblin: "I lost?!"
It had actually lost to a rookie volunteer from another world!
"HOOO——!!!"
Its furious roar echoed through the ruins. The surrounding goblins exchanged glances. They hadn't expected they were really going to perish...
"Should we... run away?..."
"Staying here means death anyway. Better to leave..."
The dwarf goblins wanted to give up. They didn't want to die; it was too unpleasant.
Especially those who had been stabbed in the waist—they felt a chill there even now and couldn't wait to leave immediately...
[Goblin Slayer World]
Priestess: "Merry is so strong! She can actually attack with her staff!"
She had always stayed behind Goblin Slayer. Seeing Merry assist Haruhiro made her want to learn that skill too.
But Goblin Slayer wouldn't let her stand in front. The risk was too high. If she got injured, the whole team might fail!
Still, she wanted to become stronger...
"Mr. Goblin Slayer, can I learn that skill...?"
Goblin Slayer glanced at her, then nodded...
[Grimgar World]
Ranta: "Well done! Merry's move was so cool!"
Haruhiro: "I actually got Mary hurt...!"
Renji: "I didn't expect you all to reach this point. You've grown a lot during this time...!"
He had always looked down on these people, but now his attitude had changed...
They were all survivors striving hard to live!
[On Screen]
[Moguzo wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling dazed. He was clearly concussed by the giant goblin's hammer...]
[But this also drove him into a frenzy, revealing his hidden nature!]
Boom——
[The giant goblin's club smashed hard against Moguzo's sword. The immense force made his blood surge, and he fell to his knees...]
[Merry hurriedly healed him, but internal injuries were far more severe than external ones...]
[To increase her hit rate, Shihoru ran forward and cast her spell at close range!]
[—Shadow Dash—]
[The magic bullet struck its head. Moguzo seized the opportunity, stood up with his sword, raised it high, and slashed down!]
["Sieg!!"]
[With his roar, the giant goblin was sent crashing from the second floor to the first by Moguzo's sheer power!]
Crash—
[Ranta then finished off the dwarf goblin...]
[Now only the escaped blue goblin remained!]
[Screen Ends]
Giant Goblin: "I just want to sleep... Don't come for me anymore..."
Dwarf Goblin: "I want to go home..."
These humans were too cruel. The old district ruins were too dangerous; they couldn't stay any longer!
Now, except for the blue goblin, the other goblins were considering fleeing...
The blue goblin's expression was extremely grim. These guys were usually too lax, yet they had easily breached their defenses...
Gobta: "These brethren are so pitiful. If they were as cute as me, maybe they wouldn't have to die..."
Rimuru: "..."
Who gave this little brother such confidence? How much had he drunk?
But he could easily handle these people alone...
[On Screen]
[The group arrived at the attic...]
[The blue goblin sat on a chair, clutching its waist, blood dripping from its mouth...]
[Ranta stepped forward, placed his sword against its neck, and said in a low voice, "It's on the brink of death... But this is a fight for survival..."]
["Don't hate me..."]
[Suddenly, the sound of an arrow slicing through the air came...]
[Everyone instinctively turned...]
[They saw Merry, struck in the back by an arrow—just like Manato back then...]
[Screen Ends]
Blue Goblin: "Why didn't you aim for the head?!"
This sudden turn of events thrilled it. If the priest died, it could shatter these humans' confidence!
That way, it could easily find opportunities to kill them!
Dwarf Goblin: "..."
Didn't you also miss the headshot earlier?
And you're still dreaming? You're vomiting blood like that—just finish me off!
"Dammit! I won't let this happen again!"
Haruhiro punched the table in anger. Did they want Merry to leave them too?
"Am I... going to die?..."
Merry stared blankly at herself being hit by the arrow. The fear of death lasted only a moment before she regained her composure...
"Wrong... It can still be treated..."
Merry examined where the arrow had struck. If it hadn't pierced her heart, she could still survive...
[On Screen]
[Everyone gathered around Merry...]
[The blue goblin threw aside the cloth, brandished its weapon, and slashed at them. But Mary slashed its ankle, causing it to lose balance and fall...]
["Gyaaaaah!!!"]
[Ranta jumped on it, delivering several slashes in succession, but they were blocked by its armor...]
Clang! Clang! Clang!
[Ranta grabbed its ear, about to slash it open, but was pushed away by its palm. The sword pierced Ranta's left arm!]
[Before it could react, a black shadow descended from above...]
[Moguzo leaped down and struck its head with a heavy sword!]
Crash!!!
[The tremendous force sent the blue goblin flying...]
[Ranta glared at the sneaky goblin above and yelled angrily, "Get the hell down here!"]
[But it turned and fled...]
[Haruhiro kept calling Merry's name, frantic with worry...]
["I'm sorry... Can I treat it?.."]
["It might... hurt a little..."]
[Merry's eye twitched from the pain, sweat beading on her forehead...]
[Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. She was okay...]
[Screen Ends]
Ranta: "Haruhiro, don't panic like that next time!"
Mary: "Shut up! Hal was just too worried!"
Ranta: "How dare you tell me to shut up?!"
Just as the two were about to argue, Shihoru quickly intervened...
"The important thing is Merry is fine. It seems she needs to wear some armor!"
These goblins were so underhanded, always shooting arrows in the back!
Goblin: "???"
Dammit, stabbing us in the waist and attacking while we're asleep isn't shady?!
[On Screen]
[The goblin ran to the opposite side, warily looking behind...]
[Suddenly, a black shadow appeared at the window. It fired arrows rapidly. The arrows embedded themselves in the wall but hit no one—only a human cloak...]
[Haruhiro jumped from the window and charged toward it at full speed!]
[The goblin discarded its crossbow and drew the dagger it had picked up earlier!]
[The moment Haruhiro saw this dagger, his expression turned ferocious. He stabbed at it furiously with his sword!]
["It was you!!!"]
Clang!
[The two blades sparked orange. But the goblin had no skills after all. Haruhiro swiftly slashed its shoulder muscles, and the dagger fell from its grasp...]
["Aaaaaah!!!"]
[Haruhiro pinned it down, trying with all his might to pierce its heart. But the goblin fought back desperately before death, rolling down the roof with him...]
["Hey hey hey hey——"]
[The goblin grabbed Haruhiro's neck with one hand, a victorious smile on its face...]
["Hal!"]
[Haruhiro looked toward the voice, spotted his dagger, picked it up, and plunged the sword into the goblin's neck...]
Squelch—
[The last goblin was killed by Haruhiro!]
[Manato's vengeance was finally repaid by everyone...]
