Goblin Slayer Side Story: Year One
By sheer luck, he had gone to pick up his niece from her village before a goblin horde attacked it that night. Upon learning that the village had been completely decimated and that his sister was killed, he adopted his niece. Despite his efforts, his niece became reclusive and barely left the farm.

Five years later Goblin Slayer, passed by the farm and Cow Girl discovered he was her childhood friend. He approved her request to let him stay with them but informed that he had to pay rent. Although he was at first glad to see his niece happy again, but after asking Goblin Slayer if he had thought of settling down one day, Goblin Slayer simply stated that there were more goblins to kill, which led Cow Girl's Uncle to realize that Goblin Slayer had gone mad.

Goblin Slayer Volume 1
For the next five years he kept his relationship with Goblin Slayer formal, mostly to a landlord and boarder relationship, as he assumed that Goblin Slayer is only taking advantage of Cow Girl's offer. However after his actions before the battle with the Goblin Lord, he came to realize that Goblin Slayer did indeed care for his niece's well being and did truly see her as a close friend. He implored Goblin Slayer to be more open with Cow Girl as the latter stated he didn't know how.
