Goblin Slayer- Day In The Life Chapter 11 - Read Next Chapter 12 -

The Goblin Slayer looked toward the window. The sun was nearly gone. Soon, the world would belong to shadows.

Sword Maiden watched from the altar steps, one hand resting on her staff.

"I did. The grates are reinforced. But the priestess reported a missing goat from the eastern pasture three days ago."

"Yes?"

"What's this?" Sword Maiden asked, genuine surprise in her voice.

"You don't sleep much," she said softly. Not a question.

He walked toward the door, pausing with his hand on the iron latch.

Sword Maiden tilted her head. "You noticed that? During the five minutes you watched him train?"

"No," he said. "The guild received a request. A farmstead two leagues west. Missing children."

"You could stay for supper," she offered quietly. "The sisters make a fine root stew."

"The stew. Save me a bowl."

"Goblins don't sleep," he replied, running a whetstone along a short blade. Shhk. Shhk. "They wait. They watch. If I sleep too deeply, they win."

"I think everything is goblins until proven otherwise."
