Goblin Slayer chooses a request to do goblin subjugation in one of the more major cities. He goes with he female priest, the high elf, dwarf shaman and lizard priest. Turns out the requester is the Archbishop of one of the religions that reside over lawfulness. She is a gold level adventurer and also a hero that subjugated a great evil 10 years ago. She is also gorgeous but wears a blindfold and when the female priest
bathes with her, she sees remnants of scars.

Goblins have been active in the city. The adventurers go underground into the sewers a few times. First time they face goblins who have built a raft. Also a swamp dragon appears. They then encounter more goblins on rafts and they trick them to face the swamp dragon while they escape. The second time they run into a Champion Goblin and are badly beaten up, but the Goblin Slayer recovers and rips out the Goblin Champion's eye even though he is badly injured. In order to heal him, the archbishop and female priest share a bed naked with with Goblin Slayer in order to perform an advanced healing ceremony. It seems that the archbishop was the one who had that spell so it seems the female priest was just there to help. The Goblin Slayer, as usual, makes nothing of seeing their bodies when he wakes up. (there is a color picture of the female priest covering herself up in the book).

The Goblin Slayer and female priest go shopping. While doing so, they encounter someone selling ice cream which they haven't seen before. The Goblin Slayer is curious about it and learns the general guidelines on how to produce it.

The next time the adventurers go into the dungeon, they use a secret staircase they discovered earlier and encounter a giant eyeball guarding a mirror. They don't name the monster but I would say it is like a beholder in D&D. After defeating it, they learn the mirror attaches to other locations and that is where the goblins are coming from. Someone has set this whole situation up. The goblins attack again along with the Goblin Champion and are eventually defeated. The adventurers during this time, rip the mirror off the wall and take it with them. Although it is worth a fortune, they encase it in concrete and sink it so goblins can't use it again.

The Goblin Slayer confronts the Archbishop, knowing that she knew the whole story from the start, The swamp dragon was a familiar or something of the Church. He also says he knows what the goblins did to her. She has conflicting thoughts that although she is recognized as a hero, she is afraid of goblins. On parting, the goblin slayer said call him anytime there are goblins to beat and when she said, even in her dreams, he says yes. She seems to have feelings for him, and as he is leaving, she shouts out something in keigo (Japanese respect language) that is something like "I love you" but it is unknown where he hears it.

On the way back to their town, the Goblin Slayer comments that he wants to try to make ice cream, probably with the milk from the ranch, and everyone is excited to try it.

In the afterwards, the author states that in the next volume the harvest festival takes place. During one of the many little side chapters in the book, two women are talking. Probably the guild girl and the cow girl I think and they mention like they will try to ask the Goblin Slayer out during the harvest festival. Just a side note.
