* The relationship between [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl Goblin Slayer and Cow Girl]] is this in a nutshell - When she was only eight, she left to go visit her Uncle's farm only for her [[DoomedHometown hometown]] to be raided by goblins later that same day. There were no survivors except her ChildhoodFriend who went missing, but considering what goblins are [[ToServeMan known for]]... Five years passed, with only a few bits and pieces she brought along serving as her only memories of home. But then, one day out of nowhere, [[HesBack Goblin Slayer shows up.]] Sure, he's got a [[AmbiguousDisorder few]] [[RoaringRampageofRevenge issues]] [[NoSocialSkills now]], but it's clear they both mean the world to each other; he rents out her uncle's shed when he can easily afford better lodging and performs daily patrols, and she makes sure he'll always know that there's a home he can return to and a warm meal waiting for him there.

* OnceMoreWithClarity on the Heavy Swordsman's village. His best friend who retired from the adventuring life was living in that village, and Heavy Swordsman was raddled with stress over which job to take and looking after his party members at the same time. When he heard about the potential goblin attack, he was more than willing to forego rest and any other jobs, just to go down there and help out his friend. He was too late, because Goblin Slayer returned and told him to his face that he had already killed the goblins. HS doesn't get a word in, because Female Knight takes the opportunity to drag him back to bed. Since his friend was safe, he had nothing to be concerned about.

''Goblin Slayer'' is about more than a broken man laying vengeance on the savage race that ruined his life. It's also about that man learning to appreciate living more, to connect with others, and to recognize the positive impact he's left on the world.

Cow Girl can tell he enjoyed himself when he returns, especially because this time he actually tries to talk about his experiences as best as he can in spite of his TerseTalker tendencies.
** When passing through the dwarf ruins in the mountains on their way to the north,
Goblin Slayer unexpectedly seizes a large, beautiful dwarven greatsword that is way outside the norm for his usual choice of equipment. Moreover, he takes it with him out of the tunnels even as they're running from goblins, and is caught looking at it, ''admiring it'' several times during their stay. Dwarf Shaman eventually suggests that he get a sheath made for it, which he does before going home and offering it to Cow Girl as a monologue decoration. Cow Girl, sensing his unusual attachment to it, suggests he use it to decorate his own shed, and smiles when she watches him sneaking a peak at it every now and then. Goblin Slayer is keeping this sword not because he wants to use it, [[NotSoAboveItAll but because he finds it really cool]] and can't help himself, with Cow Girl mentally comparing it to a similar reaction he had to a toy sword when they were younger.
** It's clear in this volume that Goblin Slayer's been thinking
about him not what an adventurer is, and has come to his own understanding of the full detail of Arc Mage's dream, but still acknowledging her sacrifices in doing so, and subject. When the party is certain challenged to prove that she will succeed they can be trusted to participate in achieving it.

Not because he think she'll win, but because he believes her the better "adventurer". He's vindicated when she wins over everyone's hearts, not by winning but by enjoying herself and pulling everyone else into the fun.
** At the end, after having routed the goblins and helped defeat the monster in the deep in spectacular fashion, Goblin Slayer requests that the people of the north, who have until this point seen adventurers as rogues or thieves, "treat adventurers as adventurers". Goblin Slayer may not think himself an adventurer, but it's clear he now has some grasp on adventure's romance, and wants to see it grow. At long last, he's developed a dream beyond goblin hunting.

* Shortly before Capital Inspector comes by, Guild Girl has ended up in a genuinely cheerful mood, something noticed by Inspector, who's used to her being a StepfordSmiler. It turns out the reason is because of the presence of Goblin Slayer, who has been a massive help to her in regards to both the goblin dilemma and the resulting frequent newbie deaths their quests cause, which both makes her feel rather emotionally relieved and signifies her developing a fledgling of her future crush on him. Of course the arrival of Capital Inspector completely sours the mood, but it was nice while it lasted.
* While it's always been obvious how much Goblin Slayer cared for his dead sister, the fact he was either dead-focused on goblin-slaying or interacting with other characters about present situations meant he didn't get to show exactly how much he loved her. Chapter 50 rectifies that by providing contrived circumstances that force him to be alone with his thoughts away from goblin-slaying, and when mulling over his preparations for improving his goblin-slaying effectiveness, he ends up repeatedly thinking back to life with his sister, from when they played together to when they experienced disagreements about things. While they all end on sour moments denoting how she's gone now, the moments themselves quite clearly show how happy and full of fun life was when they were still together.
