Summary
Goblin Slayer and his party defend themselves from the oncoming horde of goblins as they try and remove the mirror. They successfully move the mirror and take cover under it so that Dwarf Shaman may collapse the roof and crush the goblins. Victorious, they escape with the mirror, opting to entomb it in concrete.

Later, Goblin Slayer confronts Sword Maiden, suspecting her to be the cause of some of the events that spurred the goblin investigation. She confesses her part in it, expressing she only wished to bring attention to the matter due to her crippling fear of goblins brought on by her traumatic past. Goblin Slayer, while not entirely understanding, promises her he will continue to kill goblins, even in her dreams. Sword Maiden then declares her affection for him.

While the party travels back home, Goblin Slayer announces he'd like to try ice treats, promising to share some with them as well once they get home.
