The episode begins in a lively adventurer's guild, where both experienced adventurers and newcomers mingle. Among the veterans are the Priestess, the Elf, the Dwarf, and the Lizardman, who discuss the growing number of newcomers and the establishment of a training center. Goblin Slayer arrives late and confirms that he intends to continue his goblin hunting.

Goblin Slayer and his party head to the quest board, where they notice an unusually high number of goblin-related quests. Concerned about whether the newcomers can handle these quests, Goblin Slayer decides to take on some of them himself. The group also purchases potions and marks them for quick identification in battle.

During their journey, the group encounters a reckless band of newcomers. The veterans are troubled but press on. They reach their destination, where Goblin Slayer takes on the mission while Priestess rests. Later, Goblin Slayer recounts the details of his completed quests to the Priestess, stressing the importance of preventing the goblins from obtaining his notes.

Back at the guild, a hotheaded young newcomer confronts Goblin Slayer, demanding to be taught how to kill goblins. Goblin Slayer refuses, stating that if the newcomer needs instruction to make a difference, then teaching him would be pointless.

The next morning, Goblin Slayer advises the newcomer to start by killing rats in the sewers. Meanwhile, the Priestess learns that her achievements are insufficient for a promotion, and her companions suggest she mentor a newcomer to prove her worth. The episode ends with the young wizard reluctantly agreeing to join a kobold hunt—but only under the Priestess's leadership.
