 * — Chapter 48's official description.

Full Summary
Noble Fencer's fit alerts a few goblins' attention, forcing Goblin Slayer to kill one of them and High Elf Archer to eliminate suspicion by pretending to scream in agony. High Elf Archer is outraged over Noble Fencer ruining the plan, but is calmed down by the rest of the party. In the midst of changing clothes, she apologizes for lashing out, which Goblin Slayer dismisses as something that happens even to him.

Deciding that leaving the other captives alone was the best option for now, the party makes their way toward the storehouse for weapons. Dwarf Shaman inquires into the dagger Noble Fencer has, but is discouraged by an angry glare.

High Elf Archer kills two nearby goblins, and pours Dwarf Shaman's wine over their bodies to create a scenario where the goblins drank themselves to sleep. Goblin Slayer counts a total of eleven spells available to the party, including Noble Fencer's two remaining lightning spells. When Noble Fencer notices Priestess praying for the goblins' repose, she kicks a corpse in a fury declaring that it was wasted on the likes of them. Priestess becomes unsure of whether Noble Fencer likes her, but resolves that she couldn't leave her on her own; after consulting Goblin Slayer, Priestess decides to try and make friends with her.
