Brand New Day Chapter 9

Of The Three of Them, Some Months Ago Part 1 is the ninth chapter of Goblin Slayer: Brand New Day.

Full Summary
Lizard Priest and Dwarf Shaman are having a meal together at a tavern. The two comment on how their team has progressed. Dwarf Shaman finds it surprising that Lizard Priest would party with other clerics. Lizard Priest jest that why should he have resentment as each one will believe what they want to believe. He makes an exception to the Evil Sect as they must be slaughtered. The dwarf asks his comrade if it's true Lizardmen are left-handed and their hearts are on the right side. Lizard Priest corrects the first assumption, stating he is ambidextrous. As for the heart he cannot say. Lizard Priest asks if it true that Dwarves float. Dwarf Shaman states that with wine anything is possible. The dwarf thinks on the time the two met.

Years ago in Water Town, Dwarf Shaman was with his uncle at a tavern. His uncle asked him to team up with an elf, though Dwarf Shaman was hesitant, accurately deducing that the elf was royalty. Despite his reservations against elves, he decides to accept due to seriousness.

A commotion occurs in the bar, between a beastwoman and an elf. The former accuses the elves of being misers shutting themselves from the outside, which the elf takes offence. A fight ensues, as the two dwarves watched. Dwarf Shaman states it to be uncouth. His uncle reveals that the elf is in fact his new teammate shocking him. They are at a loss on how to defuse the situation between the women. Lizardman Priest comes and tells the bartender that he was awaiting to meet a dwarf and an elf. His uncle notes that the Lizardmen must have sent him. Lizard Priest wishes to have a meal as well, but has no money offering labor instead. Laughing Dwarf Shaman offers to pay if he helps to break the two women up.

After breaking up the fight, High Elf Archer, the two join Dwarf Shaman at the table while his uncle departs. They discuss the job, due to the Council of War being concentrated on their fight against the Demon Lord, they are unable to handle a nest of goblins, hence why the adventurers were hired by the various political leaders. High Archer suggests they recruit a seasoned warrior that specializes in goblin slaying, even reciting a song she heard of his deeds.
