Goblin Slayer: My Savior is My Idol

Pairing: Sword Maiden x Priestess

Genre: Romance/Drama

Disclaimer: I do not own Goblin Slayer or any of its characters.

Author's Note: Okay, okay. I'm kinda doing another attempt at this, meaning a journey with Priestess. Since I'm kinda more familiar with Goblin Slayer (well, sort of. XD) I decided to write this as sort of a remake. Goblin Slayer will still be present, just…very little. (Sorry to all Goblin Slayer the Character fans). Sword Maiden and Priestess will be the main, main focus.

There will be some crossover characters too. Only female ones that will fit into this fantasy world. Don't know who they will be at the moment, the time will come.

Anyways, please enjoy this little remake of Goblin Slayer.

Adventurers of this crazy, but beautiful world. Young and old, man and woman alike, belonging to different classes. And they prefer to be called by their class name instead of their real names. Which is why nobody knows who their true names are for past generations.

One of them, who is called Priestess, is starting out as an adventurer. She really wanted to go on her own journey since she read some books about cool and awesome adventurers fighting to save the world. She has learned anything and everything she could about going on a risky journey, to fight monsters and finding rare items along the way, including reading passages that no one else could except for those that were able to read unknown languages. Priestess is a hardworking young maiden.

Another reason why her class is a Holy Saint, a mage even, is because she admires the very famous Archbishop, Sword Maiden. She's also a Saint, but a great fighter with the sword and is known as a gold-ranked adventurer, the highest rank to ever reach as an adventurer. She hopes to reach that level one day so she and Sword Maiden can travel together. Right now, she has a very long way to go.

Putting on her white robe, white thigh high boots and white hat on her head to top it off, she takes her staff and looks in the mirror. She looks and feels like an adventurer already. Pumping a fist, she leaves her home and is off to the open world. She knows that it's not very easy starting off on her own. Sometimes, one needs to find some friends to form some sort of party to help her on her journey. However, since her village is a bit underpopulated, due to many other people starting their journey, she will be unable to find some useful people. So she might have to start on her own for the time being.

She walks down the path of her village until she leaves it completely. She stops to look back at her hometown one last time with a small smile. She hopes that the people that knew her when she first lived there will miss her and hope that she will get a gold-rank someday.

"Don't worry, everyone," she says quietly. "I will do my best to become a really, really great adventurer like they are in the books."

Giving one last look, she turns around continues to set off on her risky journey. She continues down the path, walking toward a forest while hearing birds chirping. She hums to herself as she goes along, looking around her, smiling. A quite peaceful place so far. But she will encounter some dangerous creatures soon, so she will have to be ready.

Walking further into the forest, she clutches her staff, swallowing hard. It's getting a bit scary the further she goes, but she has to keep going. It is then that she comes to a stop at something that catches her eye. Far ahead is a lone cave of some sorts. Right at the end of the forest. She takes baby steps closer toward the scary looking cave. She's read in books that brave warriors go in there and find the light at the end of the tunnel. It happens very often, so maybe this is one of them. She gives a brave nod and steps toward the entrance. It's very, very dark inside. Looking around, she finds a torch hanging at the side for some reason. Maybe the last warrior hung it up and used some type of item to light up the cave. She shrugs and takes it to continue onwards.

She walks slowly and cautiously further and further down the cave. For some reason, she can hear some strange noises around her, but doesn't know where. She swallows hard again and slowly continues down the cave. Her only objective is to find the light at the end of this tunnel. And then, hopefully find a town to stay in for the night. She has just enough money to buy an inn to stay at, plus eat some of the food there. Looking around, she hears the strange noises again. This time, it's a bit louder and scary. She stops and holds out her torch.

"Wh-who's there!?" she panics. "Show yourself!"

The sounds get louder and louder. Some gibberish going around her and she does not like the sound of those. She takes a few steps further, holding out her torch until she makes it. But what surprises her is a few green creatures feasting on a fallen warrior. She gasps loudly and cups her hand to her mouth. What are those things? They were never mentioned in the books she read.

Unfortunately, the green creatures hear her and turn around, snarling and growling. Priestess clutches her staff while backing away.

"Wh-who are you guys!?" she stutters. "Stay back! I don't want to be your lunch!"

The three creatures are drooling like they are still hungry for some food. Surely this human will be another good meal for them. They were just finished with that fallen warrior anyways. They hold out their knives and start walking toward her. Priestess backs away faster. These creatures are going to kill her. One of them tries to jump at her, but she quickly steps out of the way. She then swings her torch to try to set them on fire, but she misses. They are tiny, but quick. Another one tries to jump on her, but she uses her staff to whack it out of the way. And then, she makes a run for it. She has never seen anything like it. These scary creatures that are fearsome and hungry for human meat. They are clearly dangerous and probably too strong for her to handle.

She runs and runs while the creatures chased her. She doesn't even look back. If she did, that will only slow her down. But she can feel them coming closer and closer, making her panic even more. She tries to run faster, however she trips on an uneven surface and falls on her side, thankfully not dropping the torch. But unfortunately, she dropped her staff and it slid across the ground until it's about 10 feet away from her. There is no way she can crawl to it in time cause the quick little creatures are already coming closer. There is nothing she could do but to accept her fate. It's the start of her journey and already, she's going to die in a bit. She shuts her eyes tightly, bracing for the impact, however….she feels no pain. Instead, she hears some screaming from the creatures, splattering of blood and being tossed aside.

She opens her eyes and her eyes widen at the person who saved her. A young woman with long blonde hair, wearing a very revealing white robe, golden high heels on her feet, wearing a white hat just like her and then, a black blindfold over her eyes. She stands over the slaughtered creatures and then turns toward Priestess. She walks over toward her and reaches out her hand.

"Are you okay, Miss?" Her voice. Her voice is very gentle and sweet that is music to Priestess's ears.

It is then that Priestess realizes who she is now. The person who saved her is her one and only idol: Sword Maiden. She cannot believe she is actually meeting her in person when starting off her journey. Maybe it's not so bad after all.

"Y-y-yes!" she stutters as she gently takes the woman's hand and the taller blonde pulls her up. "Who….who were those guys?"

"Goblins…" the taller blonde replies, gritting her teeth. "They are the most vicious creatures on the planet. They've killed and tortured many adventurers who come this way and also…they like to hide in other places. Not just this cave."

"Y-you know what they are and what they do!?" Priestess is shocked. She never knew Sword Maiden encountered these kinds of creatures before.

"Yes. Now come, young adventurer," the taller blonde says. "I'll show you the way."

Taking her hand, she guides Priestess further in the cave. The petite blonde doesn't know why, but she has her idol by her side now. She feels very safe and secure around her now that she has somebody to walk with.

In no time at all, both of the girls find the light at the end of the tunnel, just like in the books Priestess read, and are greeted by a clear meadow with the next town just a distance away. The sun is shining and birds are chirping, the sounds Priestess missed since entering the cave.

"Oh, thank you! Thank you very much!" the petite blonde happily takes a few steps forward and twirls around.

"Anything to help a fellow adventurer," Sword Maiden says. "Are you going to be okay on your own?"

Priestess stops and looks at the Archbishop. They just met and now they are separating? Sure they are different in ranks, but something doesn't feel right. She's just been saved by ravenous goblins and if she encounters one again, Sword Maiden may not be there to save her again or anybody else.

"Ummm…!" Priestess takes a step forward. "Well…no, not really. You saved my life and I'm very grateful. I really am! B-but…I feel really safe around you. I know it's very selfish of me, but…but…will you please stay with me!?" She bows, shutting her eyes tightly.

Sword Maiden's mouth hangs open for a moment. This is definitely a surprise coming from a low ranked adventurer. But honestly, this might actually be fun.

"First off, will you please tell me your name?" Sword Maiden asks.

"Oh!" the petite blonde stands up straight. "My name is Priestess, sort of a Mage Class i guess you could say, but I'm really a Holy Saint."

"I see~" the taller blonde gestures toward herself. "I am the Sword Maiden, Archbishop and gold ranked adventurer. It's a pleasure to meet you, dear Priestess."

Priestess's eyes sparkle at her introduction. The way she speaks is just so beautiful and elegant, just like what she read about her. Her hero is truly a very kind and elegant young woman.

"You're so…cooo~l!" she squeaks out without thinking.

"Hm? Is something the matter, Priestess?" Sword Maiden asks.

The petite blonde panics and blushes heavily. "Oh! I-I'm so sorry! Uhhh…w-well you see…I've kinda been….admiring you for some time. And uh, well…I thought I'd go on my own journey just to be like you, Sword Maiden-sama. You're so beautiful, cool, a great warrior and a saint. You are everything I ever dreamed of!"

Sword Maiden gapes at her words and smiles. "I have to say, you know quite a lot about me."

"Well from what I've read, yes," Priestess admits. "But otherwise, I have wanted to follow in your footsteps. Now that I met you in person, I feel confident again. I mean, I mean…who wouldn't find their idol right at the start of their journey?"

Sword Maiden lets out an elegant giggle. "You're so cute, you know that~?"

"Eh!?" Priestess jumps at the compliment.

"Actually, this is the first time I have ever joined a party," the taller blonde confesses. "I've been on my own for as long as I can remember. From running the temple, to going on my journey."

"You were?" Priestess asks.

"Yes. It was tough, but in the end, I was completely fine with it," Sword Maiden continues. "Now then, shall I guide you to the next town?"

The petite blonde gasps happily and nods. "Yes! I will be in your care, Sword Maiden-sama!"

A new start of a journey, now with someone who will protect her from harm. Priestess is now more confident than ever and will proudly continue to follow in Sword Maiden's footsteps.

A/N: Yeah I was actually torn, everyone. Either Goblin Slayer saves Priestess or Sword Maiden. Well in this little remake, since I'm going for the Yuri route, I chose Sword Maiden. Her past will come soon, but it'll be like in canon, so don't worry. However, I didn't want her to be a coward, and that's another reason why I chose her.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this one. There's more to come.

Have a nice day~!
