Goblin Slayer
Sword Maiden is deeply in love with Goblin Slayer. This is due to her trauma about goblins, and his hardline stance in eradicating them bring her a sense of comfort.

History
She made her mark in history ten years ago by defeating the Demon Lord, in particular ending the machinations of an order known as the Evil Sect. Even ten years later, the group is no closer to summoning their god thanks to her power and influence.

Having heard of Goblin Slayer's achievements, she enlists him and his party to slay goblins infesting the sewers underneath Water Town, the city her temple oversees.
