Of the Waitress at the Tavern is the third chapter of Goblin Slayer: Brand New Day.

Full Summary
At the Adventurer's Guild tavern, Padfoot Waitress is serving several parties including Heavy Warrior's party, who are celebrating having come back from an adventure, the silver ranked duo, Spearman and Witch, and the exhausted rookies, Rookie Warrior and Apprentice Cleric.

Soon after, Goblin Slayer and his party enter the tavern, returning from a goblin slaying quest. Padfoot Waitress greets them then takes their orders, but is taken aback when Goblin Slayer himself orders nothing, yet again. Later, she is seen complaining to Apprentice Boy, her pride as a waitress hurt from be denied by Goblin Slayer once again. The boy mentions that he heard that the man liked beef stew, to which the waitress excitedly prepares a pot of it as a special for when Goblin Slayer returns. However, no one orders it, including Goblin Slayer. Feeling defeated, she talks to Apprentice Boy again, who suggests that she ask someone he's close to.

Padfoot Waitress asks his friend, Cow Girl, for advice on what to cook to get him to eat. She shares with her a recipe for a stew made by Goblin Slayer's Older Sister. Once back at the tavern, the waitress makes the stew and offers that Goblin Slayer try it. After taking a sip, he says it's not bad. Padfoot Waitress, elated, asks if he would like to order a bowl of it, but he declines. While at first shocked, she soon understands that it has nothing to do with the food or her, she just can't compete with the fact the man likes his meals from Cow Girl. Satisfied with the revelation, she puts the stew on as a special.
