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, 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 mostly to a landlord and boarder relationship, as he assumed that Goblin Slayer was no longer sane.

However, he starts to accept Goblin Slayer when he sought to protect the farm from goblins and told him to at least say goodbye to his niece as he does. Goblin Slayer couldn't do it but promised to protect the farm as he left. He remarked Goblin Slayer's stoicism was what he hated most since it shields his feelings from others.
