Full Summary
The villagers are disappointed to learn that Noble Fencer's party needed more provisions despite not even having fought the goblins yet. As Noble Fencer travels back to the main camp, she bemoans how their misfortune resulted from a goblin mission. The harsh weather forces her to set up a tent to rest. Reflecting on her past, she recalls how she ran away to escape her family's influence and make her own legend. Coming to grips with reality, she resolves to apologize for getting her companions involved in her ambitions, as to her family.

Immediately afterwards, she is frightened by the sight of the half-elf's severed ear appearing in her tent, as well as noisy laughter. She steps out of her tent to discover a horde of goblins surrounding her tent carrying the remains of her party members. With her rapier frozen shut in its sheath, Noble Fencer is unable to cast a spell in time before the goblins assault her all at once.

In present day, Noble Fencer wakes up in front of Goblin Slayer and mentions goblins, which Goblin Slayer affirms.
