SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
SIGN    At the northernmost end of the continent,
    I arrived at the place that
    the people of this world call heaven:
    Aureole, the land where souls rest.
SIGN    Many souls gather there, and I spoke with
    friends who once fought alongside me.
    —Flamme the Legendary Mage
[01:59] Himmel
    Frieren.
[02:08] Frieren
    The royal capital's in sight.
[02:10] Heiter
    The adventurers are making
    their triumphant return.
[02:13] Heiter
    They must be celebrating in the city.
[02:17] Himmel
    We'll have to look for work once we're back.
[02:20] Frieren
    You're already thinking about that?
[02:23] Himmel
    It's important, after all.
[02:24] Himmel
    We've defeated the Demon King,
    but it's not over.
[02:28] Himmel
    We have the whole rest
    of our lives ahead of us.
[02:31] Eisen
    Work, huh?
[02:33] Heiter
    I'd like something where
    I can drink on the job.
[02:36] Himmel
    Aren't you a priest?
[02:40] Frieren
    I suppose you're right.
[02:43] Himmel
    Frieren, the life ahead of you will surely
    be much longer than we can imagine.
[02:52] Frieren
    Perhaps.
SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
[03:30] King
    Himmel the Hero,
[03:32] King
    Eisen the Warrior, Heiter the Priest,
[03:36] King
    and Frieren the Mage.
[03:39] King
    Thank you for defeating the Demon King.
[03:43] King
    Now our world will enter an age of peace.
[04:02] Himmel
    The king's going to erect
    statues of us in the plaza.
[04:07] Himmel
    I'm not sure they'll be able to faithfully
    recreate my handsome looks, though.
[04:15] Frieren
    How self-serving of him.
[04:16] Frieren
    He only gave us ten copper coins
    when we left on our adventure.
[04:22] Heiter
    Now, now, Frieren.
    Tonight, we drink for free.
[04:26] Heiter
    I'd say we're even, wouldn't you?
[04:29] Frieren
    You corrupt priest.
[04:38] Eisen
    It's over.
[04:41] Himmel
    Yeah.
[04:42] Himmel
    This is the end of our adventure.
[04:46] Heiter
    It's been ten years, huh?
[04:48] Heiter
    We've been through a lot.
[04:52] Heiter
    The day we departed...
[04:54] Heiter
    Himmel and Eisen were nearly executed
    for speaking rudely to the king.
[04:54] King
    Kill them.
[04:56] Frieren
    We'll give them a talking to.
[04:57] Heiter
    Shall we lick your boots?
[04:58] Frieren
    One misstep, and our adventure
    would've ended there.
[05:02] Himmel
    Sometimes, Heiter was too
    hungover to do anything.
[05:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're as pallid as an undead.
    Are you all right?
[05:14] (Flashback) Heiter
    No.
[05:15] (Flashback) Himmel
    No, huh?
[05:17] Eisen
    It was a weekly occurrence.
[05:19] Frieren
    I, on the other hand, was exceptional.
[05:21] Eisen
    We thought about leaving you behind
    when that mimic tried to eat you.
[05:25] (Flashback) Himmel
    Seriously? We told her it was a trap.
[05:26] Frieren
    It's dark and scary in here!
[05:28] (Flashback) Eisen
    Why don't we leave the elf behind?
[05:34] Himmel
    We have nothing but terrible memories.
[05:39] Himmel
    But I had fun.
[05:41] Himmel
    I'm glad I got to adventure with all of you.
[05:46] Heiter
    Likewise.
[05:47] Frieren
    It was a mere ten-year adventure.
[05:50] Himmel
    "A mere ten-year adventure"?
[05:51] Himmel
    But that's an entire decade
    we spent adventuring together.
[05:54] Himmel
    Look at Heiter. He's turned into an old man.
[05:58] Heiter
    That's rude.
[05:59] Frieren
    He always looked like that.
[06:01] Heiter
    That's rude.
[06:09] Eisen
    It's nearly time.
[06:19] Heiter
    The Era Meteor Shower, was it?
[06:22] Himmel
    It happens once every fifty years.
[06:26] Himmel
    Perfect for marking the
    start of an era of peace.
[06:32] Himmel
    They're beautiful.
[06:34] Frieren
    The view's not so good
    from inside the city, though.
[06:36] Himmel
    I'm having a moment over here.
    Don't spoil the mood.
[06:41] Frieren
    Next time, then.
[06:45] Frieren
    I know a place where you
    can see them more clearly.
[06:47] Frieren
    I'll take you there in fifty years.
[06:53] Frieren
    What?
[06:54] Himmel
    It's nothing.
[06:58] Himmel
    You're right. Let's go see them together.
[07:24] Frieren
    Well, I should go.
[07:26] Himmel
    What are you going to do now?
[07:28] Frieren
    I'm going to continue collecting spells.
[07:31] Frieren
    I plan to travel around the central lands
    for the next hundred years or so.
[07:34] Frieren
    I'll stop by once in a while.
[07:42] Heiter
    I can't understand what
    being an elf must be like.
[07:44] Himmel
    Seriously, how long has she been around?
[07:48] Heiter
    To her, fifty or even a hundred years
    might be a trifling thing.
[08:44] Shopkeeper
    Shadow dragon horns?
[08:46] Shopkeeper
    We don't have those here.
[08:49] Shopkeeper
    Haven't seen a shadow dragon
    in twenty or thirty years.
[08:52] Frieren
    I see. That's no good.
    I need one for summoning.
[08:59] Frieren
    Come to think of it, I think Himmel still has
    the horn we got at the Demon King's castle.
[09:05] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's exuding some kind of evil aura.
[09:08] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's not harmful to people, is it?
[09:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    I don't know.
[09:12] (Flashback) Himmel
    You don't know, huh?
[09:14] Frieren
    It's nearly time for the
    Era Meteor Shower again.
[09:17] Frieren
    I'll pick the horn up when I visit him.
[09:24] Frieren
    The city's changed quite a bit
    since I was last here.
[09:42] Frieren
    It should be around here.
[09:45] Himmel
    Frieren?
[09:47] Frieren
    Himmel...
[09:55] Frieren
    You're so old.
[09:56] Himmel
    Do you have to put it so bluntly?
[10:00] Himmel
    I'm still pretty handsome
    at this age, though, aren't I?
[10:06] Himmel
    It's been fifty years.
    You look the same as you ever did.
[10:11] Himmel
    I thought I'd never see you again.
[10:17] Himmel
    The Era Meteor Shower, huh?
[10:19] Himmel
    That brings back memories.
[10:21] Frieren
    About that thing we looted from
    the Demon King's castle...
[10:24] Himmel
    You mean the shadow dragon horn?
[10:27] Himmel
    I've never forgotten about it.
[10:30] Himmel
    My cabinet's been exuding
    an evil aura all this time.
[10:34] Frieren
    Sorry, I think.
[10:36] Frieren
    You could've stashed it
    in a shed or something.
[10:41] Himmel
    I couldn't do that.
[10:47] Himmel
    You may not have thought much
    of leaving it with me,
[10:51] Himmel
    but to me, it was a treasure
    entrusted to me by a dear friend.
[10:57] Himmel
    I had to return it to you someday.
[11:09] Frieren
    It's not that big a deal.
[11:32] Frieren
    Himmel, are you ready yet?
[11:34] Frieren
    You're bald, anyway. There's no point
    in fussing over your appearance.
[11:38] Himmel
    There are things we bald men
    are particular about.
[11:47] Himmel
    Now, shall we go see the Era Meteor Shower?
[11:59] Frieren
    You've become rather dignified, Heiter.
[12:02] Heiter
    I'm a bishop of the holy city, after all.
[12:04] Heiter
    You haven't changed at all.
[12:07] Frieren
    Don't pat my head.
[12:11] Frieren
    Eisen, you haven't changed much.
[12:14] Eisen
    Is that how I seem to you?
[12:16] Frieren
    I would expect as much from a dwarf.
[12:18] Himmel
    So, where's this place where we can
    see the meteor shower clearly?
[12:22] Heiter
    We're going there now?
[12:24] Heiter
    It's a bit early to see the
    Era Meteor Shower, isn't it?
[12:28] Frieren
    Yeah. It's about a week's walk from here.
[12:32] Eisen
    It's that far away?
[12:35] Himmel
    Unbelievable.
[12:36] Himmel
    You should be kinder to the elderly.
[12:42] Himmel
    This brings back memories.
[12:44] Himmel
    Traveling together like this makes me
    feel like we've returned to those days.
[12:52] Himmel
    We journeyed to all sorts of places.
[12:56] Himmel
    Everything seemed so brilliant and new.
[13:25] Himmel
    And you were always there
    in those beautiful memories.
[13:34] Himmel
    I'd been looking forward to the day
    when we'd all be together again.
[13:40] Himmel
    Thank you, Frieren.
[13:43] Himmel
    Because of you, I had this delightful
    adventure at the very end.
[14:12] Himmel
    They're beautiful.
[14:41] Heiter
    I think Himmel was happy.
[14:46] Frieren
    You think so?
[14:54] Attendant A
    She was one of Mr. Himmel's companions?
[14:58] Attendant A
    I haven't seen her look sad once today.
[15:00] Attendant B
    How heartless.
[15:03] Heiter
    Now, now! We're not wearing
    sad expressions, either.
[15:07] Attendant C
    Show some respect, Bishop!
[15:08] Attendant D
    You're heartless!
[15:11] Heiter
    You wound me.
[15:37] Frieren
    It's not like I knew anything about him.
[15:53] Frieren
    We only traveled together
    for a mere ten years.
[16:04] Frieren
    I knew human lives were short, but...
[16:10] Frieren
    Why didn't I try to get to know him better?
[16:23] Frieren
    Don't pat my head.
[16:34] Heiter
    I should return to the holy city.
[16:41] Heiter
    Let me get a good look at your faces.
[16:44] Heiter
    This will probably be
    the last time I see you.
[16:47] Frieren
    Are you unwell?
[16:48] Heiter
    My years of drinking have caught up to me.
[16:51] Eisen
    It's divine punishment.
[16:54] Heiter
    If you're ever in the holy city,
    offer a drink at my grave.
[17:00] Frieren
    Heiter, you're not afraid of dying?
[17:05] Heiter
    We're the party of adventurers
    that saved the world.
[17:09] Heiter
    We'll surely be living the good life
    in Heaven after death.
[17:13] Heiter
    That's the whole reason
    I fought alongside you.
[17:17] Frieren
    You corrupt priest.
[17:21] Heiter
    If you'll excuse me.
[17:31] Frieren
    I should get going, too.
[17:35] Eisen
    You're off to collect more spells?
[17:37] Frieren
    There's that, too,
[17:40] Frieren
    but I want to learn more about humans.
[17:45] Eisen
    I see.
[17:47] Frieren
    So I wanted to ask you something.
[17:49] Frieren
    Seeing as how I'm a mage, having a powerful
    warrior to defend me would be a huge help.
[17:55] Eisen
    Give me a break.
[17:57] Eisen
    I'm too old to swing an axe now.
[18:03] Eisen
    Don't make that face, Frieren.
[18:06] Eisen
    Surprisingly, life slows down
    once you've lost your vigor.
[18:12] Frieren
    I see.
[18:14] Frieren
    I'll see you later, Eisen.
[18:17] Eisen
    Yeah. See you later.
SIGN    Episode 1: The Journey's End
[19:00] Frieren
    That's the tree I saw earlier.
[19:02] Frieren
    I always get lost in these woods.
[19:05] Frieren
    Where am I?
SIGN    20 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    on the outskirts of the holy city of Strahl in the central lands
[19:10] Fern
    Are you looking for something?
[19:18] Fern
    Is something the matter?
[19:20] Frieren
    I'm looking for the home
    of a man named Heiter.
[19:24] Fern
    Then you're a visitor.
[19:30] Frieren
    You're still alive, you corrupt priest?
[19:34] Heiter
    Turns out it's harder than I thought
    to make a stylish exit.
[19:38] Frieren
    I brought some liquor to offer at your grave.
[19:41] Frieren
    Would you like a drink?
[19:42] Heiter
    I gave up drinking.
[19:44] Frieren
    I see.
[19:46] Frieren
    I doubt the Goddess will forgive you
    even if you clean up your act now.
[19:58] Heiter
    Thank you.
[20:05] Frieren
    Who is she?
[20:06] Heiter
    Her name is Fern.
[20:08] Heiter
    She's a war orphan from the southern lands.
[20:13] Frieren
    It's not like you to
    volunteer to help people.
[20:18] Frieren
    You're not Himmel, after all.
[20:22] Heiter
    Frieren, why did you come to visit me?
[20:25] Frieren
    I was in the holy city
    picking up some things.
[20:28] Frieren
    I've been trying to get to know the people
    I meet on my travels as much as possible.
[20:33] Frieren
    And I owe you a lot, so I came to
    repay my debts before you died.
[20:41] Heiter
    In that case, I have a request.
[20:45] Heiter
    Will you take on an apprentice?
[20:49] Heiter
    Fern has potential as a mage.
[20:53] Heiter
    Will you take her with you on your travels?
[20:59] Frieren
    I'm sorry, Heiter.
    That's the one thing I can't do.
[21:02] Frieren
    She'd only get in my way.
[21:05] Frieren
    You know how often
    apprentice mages die in battle.
[21:09] Frieren
    I'm not sending a child my friend
    asked me to look after to her death.
[21:16] Heiter
    I see. Then I have another request.
[21:26] Heiter
    This was unearthed from
    the tomb of Ewig the Sage.
[21:30] Heiter
    This grimoire is said to contain lost
    spells of resurrection and immortality.
[21:37] Frieren
    I find it hard to believe
    such magic really exists.
[21:41] Heiter
    That's part of why I'd like you to decipher it.
[21:45] Heiter
    Can you do that?
[21:47] Frieren
    It's written in code using pictures.
[21:49] Frieren
    The people of this era
    really liked this kind of thing.
[21:52] Frieren
    I could do it, given five or six years.
[21:55] Heiter
    I see.
[21:57] Frieren
    But why do you want this deciphered?
[22:00] Frieren
    I thought you weren't afraid of dying.
[22:03] Heiter
    I have two reasons.
[22:06] Heiter
    The first is that when I said that,
    I was just putting on a brave face for you.
[22:10] Heiter
    The second is that I'm now more
    afraid of dying than I was before.
[22:15] Heiter
    Even if I can't achieve immortality,
    I'd like a bit more time.
[22:28] Heiter
    Besides, the holy scriptures tell us
    to live healthy lives.
[22:32] Heiter
    A long life is the ultimate
    expression of that, Frieren.
[22:35] Frieren
    You corrupt priest.
[22:39] Heiter
    Also, in your spare time,
    will you teach Fern magic?
[22:46] Heiter
    As a priest, I don't have that knowledge.
[22:51] Frieren
    I could do that.
[23:01] Frieren
    There you are.
[23:04] Frieren
    I've been looking everywhere for you.
[23:06] Frieren
    Do you always train in the woods?
[23:09] Fern
    Was finding me difficult even for you?
[23:13] Fern
    Mr. Heiter often tells me
    I'm practically invisible.
[23:19] Fern
    It's a very good thing, isn't it?
[23:23] Frieren
    It is.
[23:27] Frieren
    It's true. I can barely detect her mana.
[23:32] Frieren
    Her control over her mana is exceptional.
[23:35] Frieren
    How much has she studied at such a young age?
[23:39] Fern
    Mr. Heiter said when I can blast a hole
    in that rock, I'll be a proper mage.
[23:46] Frieren
    Oh? Heiter knows what he's
    talking about. That's—
[23:55] Fern
    As you just saw, my magic
    dissipates and doesn't reach it.
[24:00] Frieren
    I see.
[24:02] Fern
    What should I do to train?
[24:05] Frieren
    Can I ask you something first?
[24:09] Frieren
    Do you like magic?
[24:11] Fern
    Somewhat.
[24:16] Frieren
    Just like me, then.
[25:50] Heiter
    Is Fern's training coming along smoothly?
[25:50] Frieren
    Are you trying to put on
    a brave face again, Heiter?
[25:51] Herbalist
    It saddens me to see him treated like this.
[25:53] Frieren
    But they're worth looking for.
[25:53] Herbalist
    Magic sure is amazing, isn't it?
[25:53] Fern
    You keep collecting the strangest spells.
[25:55] Heiter
    It'd be a waste for you to die.
[25:55] Himmel
    Someday, I'd like to show them to you.

SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
[01:30] Frieren
    Long-range magic is a combination of
    three key factors essential to mages.
[01:39] Frieren
    There's the amount of mana,
[01:41] Frieren
    the strength with which it's fired, and the
    level of control the mage has over it.
[01:45] Frieren
    You know that much, don't you?
[01:47] Fern
    Yes.
[01:48] Frieren
    Earlier, your magic dissipated
    before it reached its target.
[01:51] Frieren
    That's a sign that your mana
    and firing strength are lacking.
[01:56] Frieren
    It's not something you can fix overnight.
[01:59] Frieren
    Regardless of your talent,
    it'll take years to master.
[02:08] Frieren
    However, your level of control
    over the magic is very high.
[02:13] Frieren
    That's what most people
    tend to have trouble with.
[02:15] Frieren
    But you've got no problems there,
[02:18] Frieren
    so just be patient with yourself.
[02:22] Fern
    Okay.
[03:34] Heiter
    Is Fern's training coming along smoothly?
[03:37] Frieren
    In just four years, she's learned more
    than most people do in ten.
[03:41] Frieren
    She's studying too hard.
    It's not a good thing.
[03:44] Heiter
    She's been spending all her
    time in the woods lately.
[03:48] Heiter
    She must really love magic.
[03:51] Frieren
    But she's still a long way
    from becoming a proper mage.
[03:55] Frieren
    I'll finish deciphering the
    grimoire before she does.
[03:59] Heiter
    I see.
[04:02] Frieren
    Say, Heiter.
[04:04] Frieren
    This grimoire probably...
[04:10] Frieren
    Heiter?
[04:18] Heiter
    Don't look at me like that.
[04:21] Heiter
    If anything, it's a miracle
    I've been mobile until now.
[04:30] Frieren
    I'll try to decipher the grimoire quickly.
[04:32] Heiter
    I'd appreciate that.
[04:39] Frieren
    Fern, put your training on hold.
[04:42] Frieren
    Heiter collapsed.
    I need you to stay with him.
[04:46] Fern
    But I still haven't hit the rock.
[04:49] Frieren
    You'll do it eventually. Right now—
[04:53] Fern
    Eventually isn't good enough.
[04:57] Fern
    Mr. Heiter will die before then.
[05:04] Fern
    He saved my life.
[05:18] (Flashback) Heiter
    It'd be a waste for you to die now.
[05:22] (Flashback) Fern
    A waste?
[05:24] (Flashback) Heiter
    A long time ago, I lost an old friend.
[05:31] (Flashback) Heiter
    Unlike me, he was straight as an arrow,
[05:35] (Flashback) Heiter
    and he never abandoned
    anyone who was in need.
[05:40] (Flashback) Heiter
    If he'd survived instead of me,
    he would've saved a lot of people.
[05:47] (Flashback) Heiter
    Since I'm not like him, I planned to
    live out the rest of my days quietly,
[05:53] (Flashback) Heiter
    but one day, I suddenly realized something.
[05:57] (Flashback) Heiter
    If I died without doing anything,
[05:59] (Flashback) Heiter
    all the courage, strength of will,
    and friendship I learned from him—
[06:03] (Flashback) Heiter
    even all my precious memories—
    would vanish from this world.
[06:12] (Flashback) Heiter
    If you have precious memories
    inside yourself as well,
[06:17] (Flashback) Heiter
    then I think it'd be a waste for you to die.
[06:22] Fern
    Mr. Heiter has always feared
    dying and leaving me alone.
[06:28] Fern
    He did the right thing.
[06:31] Fern
    I don't want him to regret saving me.
[06:34] Fern
    I don't care if it's as a mage
    or whatever else—
[06:37] Fern
    learning some kind of skill to support
    myself is my way of repaying him.
[06:42] Fern
    I want him to be glad he saved me
    and to know I'll be fine.
[06:51] Frieren
    You remember everything
    I've taught you, don't you?
[06:54] Fern
    Yes.
[06:55] Frieren
    Then do as you like.
[07:58] Frieren
    It didn't contain any spells for bringing
    back the dead or granting immortality.
[08:02] Heiter
    I see.
[08:04] Frieren
    Did you know that already?
[08:06] Heiter
    The fear of death is immeasurable.
[08:09] Heiter
    If such spells existed,
    Ewig would've cast them on himself.
[08:14] Frieren
    Then why?
[08:17] Heiter
    How is Fern?
[08:19] Frieren
    She has room for improvement in some areas,
[08:22] Frieren
    but it wouldn't be wrong
    to call her a proper mage.
[08:26] Heiter
    I see. Then she made it in time.
[08:31] Heiter
    Now she won't get in your way, Frieren.
[08:36] (Flashback) Heiter
    Will you bring her with you on your travels?
[08:40] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm sorry, Heiter.
    That's the one thing I can't do.
[08:44] (Flashback) Frieren
    She'd only get in my way.
[08:46] Frieren
    You tricked me, Heiter.
[08:52] Heiter
    Your payment for deciphering
    the grimoire is in the desk drawer.
[08:56] Heiter
    Please leave this place tonight.
[08:59] Frieren
    Why?
[09:01] Heiter
    As you can see, I don't have much longer.
[09:06] Heiter
    I don't want her to experience
    losing anyone else.
[09:13] Heiter
    Frieren, please look after Fern.
[09:19] Frieren
    Are you trying to put on
    a brave face again, Heiter?
[09:25] Frieren
    Fern has been ready to say goodbye
    to you for some time now.
[09:29] Frieren
    What you need to do before your death
[09:32] Frieren
    is give her a proper farewell
[09:35] Frieren
    and make as many memories as you can.
[09:41] Heiter
    Frieren, you really are a kind girl.
[09:56] Frieren
    Why did you save Fern?
[10:16] Heiter
    It's what Himmel the Hero would've done.
[10:22] Frieren
    You're right.
[10:37] Frieren
    Then maybe I'll do the same.
[10:51] Fern
    Thank you.
[10:53] Fern
    Because of you, I was able to
    repay my debt to Mr. Heiter.
[10:59] Frieren
    He just tricked me, is all.
[11:03] Frieren
    This corrupt priest.
[11:10] Frieren
    Shall we go, then?
SIGN    Episode 2: It Didn't Have to Be Magic...
SIGN    26 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Turk region located in the central lands
[11:34] Frieren
    That's enough, Fern.
[11:36] Frieren
    We're finished.
[11:41] Farmer
    Thank you for your help.
[11:43] Farmer
    Here's your reward.
[11:47] Fern
    We've been doing such simple work.
[11:50] Frieren
    That's how adventuring goes.
[11:52] Fern
    What were we paid in?
[11:54] Frieren
    Folk magic. It's a spell
    that produces warm tea.
[11:58] Frieren
    We'll try it out later.
[12:02] Fern
    The other day we learned a spell
    for removing rust from bronze statues.
[12:06] Fern
    Before that, we learned a spell
    for turning sweet grapes into sour ones.
[12:08] Frieren
    How is it?
[12:09] Fern
    Sour.
[12:11] Fern
    You keep collecting the strangest spells.
[12:13] Frieren
    It's my hobby, after all.
[12:15] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you really do love magic.
[12:19] Frieren
    Only somewhat, like you.
[12:22] Fern
    I feel like we're a little different.
[12:26] Frieren
    We're the same.
[12:29] Herbalist
    Will you really do something for me?
[12:33] Herbalist
    Since I'm an herbalist,
    I don't have any spells to teach you.
[12:38] Frieren
    That's fine. Just learning about
    the local flora is helpful enough.
[12:48] Herbalist
    This is it.
[12:54] Fern
    It's a statue of Himmel the Hero.
[12:57] Herbalist
    It's in terrible shape, isn't it?
[12:59] Herbalist
    It's too much for one old woman to handle.
[13:04] Herbalist
    And the villagers don't care anymore.
[13:10] (Flashback) Villager
    Run!
[13:30] Herbalist
    When the village was attacked by a monster,
[13:34] Herbalist
    Mr. Himmel fought valiantly to defend us.
[13:37] Herbalist
    It saddens me to see him treated like this.
[13:40] Frieren
    No, it's what he deserves.
    It's Himmel's fault for wanting to show off.
[13:47] Frieren
    When the villagers offered to make a statue
    of him, he should have just declined.
[13:53] (Flashback) Himmel
    Is this okay?
[13:54] (Flashback) Himmel
    This pose isn't too handsome, is it?
[13:56] (Flashback) Eisen
    Just hurry up and pick something.
[13:57] Frieren
    He drove the sculptor mad
    by spending 18 hours choosing a pose.
[13:59] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm hungry.
[14:02] Frieren
    In the end, they settled on
    a ridiculously plain one.
[14:07] Herbalist
    What a strange story.
[14:09] Herbalist
    Come to think of it, there was an
    elven mage in the hero's party.
[14:16] Frieren
    Shall we get this cleaned up?
[14:22] Herbalist
    Thank you.
[14:24] Herbalist
    Magic sure is amazing, isn't it?
[14:27] Herbalist
    There isn't a speck of rust left.
[14:32] Herbalist
    I wish there was a bit more color, though.
[14:34] Herbalist
    Perhaps I'll plant some flowers later.
[14:37] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you have a spell that
    produces a field of flowers, right?
[14:41] Frieren
    You're right. I guess I could just
    conjure something up...
[14:47] Frieren
    No, blue moon weed flowers would be best.
[14:51] Fern
    What kind of flowers are those?
[14:54] Frieren
    I don't know. I've never seen them.
[14:56] Fern
    Then why?
[14:58] Freiren
    They grow in Himmel's hometown.
[15:00] Fern
    But you can't conjure flowers
    you've never seen before.
[15:10] Herbalist
    Blue moon weed...
[15:12] Herbalist
    Now that's a name I haven't
    heard in a long time.
[15:16] Herbalist
    Long ago, there used to be a
    field of them in those woods.
[15:27] Frieren
    They don't grow around here anymore?
[15:30] Herbalist
    They all died out.
[15:33] Herbalist
    It's been decades since they've
    been spotted in these lands.
[15:38] Frieren
    I see.
[15:42] Frieren
    Let's go, Fern.
[15:44] Fern
    Okay.
[15:50] Frieren
    You're hiding something.
[15:52] Frieren
    I won't be mad, so show me what it is.
[15:58] Frieren
    They're seed rats. Pests that consume seeds.
[16:02] Fern
    I'll release them in the woods.
[16:08] Frieren
    Fern, shall we go look for blue moon weed?
[16:12] Fern
    Are you serious?
[16:14] Frieren
    There was a field of them
    in these woods until recently.
[16:17] Fern
    That was decades ago.
[16:19] Frieren
    But they're worth looking for.
[16:22] Frieren
    If we find and analyze them, we can acquire
    a spell for conjuring blue moon weed flowers.
[16:28] Fern
    For Mr. Himmel?
[16:31] Frieren
    No...
[16:32] Frieren
    I'm probably doing this for myself.
[17:27] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, we've been searching for
    blue moon weed for six months now.
[17:33] Frieren
    You're right. Perhaps we should
    broaden our search area.
[17:46] Herbalist
    Oh, I don't often see you on your own.
[17:52] Herbalist
    It's been a while since you
    first came to the village.
[17:57] Herbalist
    Have you found any blue moon weed?
[18:01] Fern
    Do you think we'll find any?
[18:05] Fern
    Ms. Frieren's obsession with
    magic is extraordinary.
[18:09] Fern
    At this rate, she'll continue searching
    for years, if not decades.
[18:14] Fern
    She's a mage who possesses the
    power to save many people.
[18:20] Fern
    She shouldn't spend her time searching
    for something that doesn't exist.
[18:26] Herbalist
    You're so young.
[18:30] Fern
    Am I wrong?
[18:33] Herbalist
    I don't think so,
[18:37] Herbalist
    but Ms. Frieren must see things differently.
[18:44] Herbalist
    But since she's so much more
    mature than we are,
[18:49] Herbalist
    I'm sure she'd understand if you honestly
    conveyed those feelings to her.
[19:12] Fern
    These are the seeds of a related species
    she kept for their medicinal properties.
[19:17] Fern
    Could we plant these around
    Himmel's statue instead?
[19:22] Frieren
    I get it, Fern.
[19:24] Frieren
    I made you worry.
[19:29] Frieren
    I'm not just spending my own time on this.
[19:32] Frieren
    It's time to go.
[19:34] Frieren
    I'll end my search soon.
[19:39] Fern
    How many years is soon?
[19:42] Frieren
    Soon.
[19:44] Fern
    You don't know when to stop—
[19:59] Frieren
    Shall we follow it?
[20:30] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, why do you collect spells?
[20:35] Frieren
    It's just a hobby of mine.
[20:36] Fern
    I find that hard to believe.
[20:39] Frieren
    It really is just a hobby.
[20:41] Frieren
    I used to live much more apathetically.
[21:11] (Flashback) Frieren
    Gross.
[21:21] Frieren
    But then I got to know an idiot who
    complimented the spells I gathered.
[21:25] Frieren
    That's all.
[21:28] Fern
    That's a silly reason.
[21:31] Frieren
    You're right.
[21:54] Fern
    Is that...
[21:55] Frieren
    It's a petal.
[21:58] Frieren
    They say seed rats bury their food
    in safe places away from enemies.
[22:03] Fern
    They're clever animals, aren't they?
[22:06] Frieren
    I wouldn't say that.
[22:08] Frieren
    Since they bury their food in so many places,
    they often forget where.
[22:17] (Flashback) Frieren
    Blue moon weed?
[22:19] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's a flower that grows in
    my homeland. It's beautiful.
[22:24] (Flashback) Himmel
    Not as beautiful as me, though.
[22:26] (Flashback) Frieren
    Shall we get going?
[22:29] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren.
[22:31] (Flashback) Himmel
    Someday, I'd like to show them to you.
[22:34] (Flashback) Frieren
    I see.
[22:36] (Flashback) Frieren
    If we have the opportunity, perhaps.
[22:45] Frieren
    I figured they'd be here,
    but I wasn't expecting so many.
[22:54] Frieren
    It took longer than I would've liked, Himmel.
[23:02] Fern
    I can't believe we really found them.
[23:05] Frieren
    Now we can create a spell for blue moon weed.
[23:08] Fern
    Why are you so passionate about magic?
[23:12] Fern
    I don't understand.
[23:14] Frieren
    But you do.
[23:16] Frieren
    You never gave up on becoming a mage.
[23:21] Fern
    That's different.
[23:23] Fern
    I would've been happy to learn any skill
    that allowed me to support myself.
[23:29] Fern
    It didn't have to be magic...
[23:32] Frieren
    But you chose magic.
[23:47] Fern
    You're right.
[23:50] Herbalist
    I never thought I'd see blue moon weed again.
[23:56] Herbalist
    They're beautiful.
[23:59] Herbalist
    Thank you, Ms. Frieren.
[24:01] Herbalist
    Now this statue will never be forgotten.
[24:05] Frieren
    Oh, I nearly forgot.
[24:10] Frieren
    There.
[24:12] Herbalist
    How cute.
[24:15] Frieren
    Shall we go?
[25:50] Fern
    That's too powerful.
[25:51] Man
    The Elder Sage of Corruption, Qual.
[25:52] Old Man
    He called you heartless for not checking on him.
[25:53] Frieren
    Let's put that into practice.
[25:53] Himmel
    How many years do you think
    we've traveled together?
[25:55] Fern
    Does this journey have a purpose?
[25:55] Frieren
    Classroom study is important, too.

SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
SIGN    27 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the trade city of Warm, located in the central lands
[01:48] Frieren
    Let's split up and replenish
    our traveling supplies.
[01:52] Fern
    "Split up"? You've assigned me
    most of the necessities.
[01:56] Fern
    Food, water, daily essentials.
[01:59] Fern
    What are you going to buy?
[02:04] Frieren
    Herbs and stuff.
[02:07] Fern
    That's the face she makes when
    she's hiding something from me.
[02:12] Fern
    I've known Ms. Frieren for a long time.
[02:14] Fern
    Nothing good ever happens
    when she makes that face.
[02:17] Fern
    She's definitely going to buy
    something we don't need.
[02:22] Frieren
    I bought this.
[02:23] Fern
    What are you going to use that for?
[02:25] Frieren
    This potion only dissolves clothing.
[02:28] Fern
    Go return it.
[02:29] Frieren
    It's a book on magical history.
    Classroom study is important, too.
[02:34] Fern
    Well, I wouldn't call that one unnecessary.
[02:40] Frieren
    I'll meet you at the inn later.
[02:53] Fern
    We can't afford to waste
    our traveling funds.
[02:57] Fern
    I'd better keep a close eye on her.
[03:04] Fern
    An accessory shop?
[03:09] (Flashback) Fern
    You went to sleep without
    drying your hair again.
[03:15] Fern
    So she's interested in fashion after all.
[03:23] Fern
    She seems really conflicted.
[03:27] Fern
    What's with that face?
[03:29] Fern
    I've never seen Ms. Frieren
    look so troubled before.
[03:55] Fern
    She spent a lot of time on that.
[04:02] Fern
    I suppose an accessory wouldn't hurt.
[04:05] Fern
    It's better than weird bones or medicines.
[04:11] Fern
    Maybe I'll resume my shopping soon.
[04:14] Frieren
    Is there a shop around here
    that sells good desserts?
[04:18] Fern
    Now that's not fair.
[04:21] Townsfolk
    There's a tavern in the basement
    of that building. Try asking there.
[04:25] Frieren
    Thank you.
[04:27] Fern
    I haven't eaten anything sweet in months!
[04:52] Frieren
    This must be it.
[04:54] Frieren
    Is there a shop around here
    that sells good desserts?
[04:57] Fern
    This clearly isn't the right
    place to ask about desserts.
[05:01] Ruffian A
    A dessert joint? Who do you
    think you're talking to?
[05:08] Fern
    Gulp.
[05:09] Ruffian A
    You better believe this city's got
    mountains of delicious desserts.
[05:14] Ruffian B
    We can recommend you places all over.
[05:18] Fern
    So they do know about desserts here.
[05:21] Frieren
    For such rough-looking guys,
    you know a lot about desserts.
[05:23] Ruffian A
    A bit of sugar gives us the energy
    we need to adventure.
[05:27] Ruffian A
    Nothing beats rewarding yourself with
    something sweet after a hard day's work.
[05:27] Fern
    So they're adventurers. Though I'd say
    even "rough" is an understatement.
[05:32] Fern
    They're terrifying.
[05:35] Ruffian A
    See ya.
[05:41] Fern
    Is she going to a dessert shop?
[05:47] Fern
    Huh? She's heading in
    the direction of our inn.
[05:51] Fern
    Is she going back?
[05:54] Fern
    I'm not even close to finishing my shopping.
[06:00] Frieren
    You're late.
[06:02] Fern
    I'm sorry.
[06:04] Frieren
    Well, no matter. Put your things down.
[06:15] Frieren
    Shall we go get something sweet to eat?
[06:33] Frieren
    What a nice view. No wonder
    they recommended this place.
[06:39] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, I'm sorry for doubting you.
[06:43] Frieren
    What are you talking about?
[06:45] Fern
    Nothing.
[06:47] Frieren
    Choose whatever you'd like.
[06:49] Fern
    Can we afford it?
[06:52] Frieren
    I've been saving up secretly.
[06:55] Fern
    She's been keeping secret savings?
[07:02] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, what will you have?
[07:05] Frieren
    Well, today I feel like...
[07:09] Fern
    Merkur pudding, right?
[07:14] (Flashback) Himmel
    You feel like eating Merkur
    pudding today, don't you?
[07:17] (Flashback) Frieren
    How did you know?
[07:19] (Flashback) Himmel
    How many years do you think
    we've traveled together?
[07:22] (Flashback) Himmel
    I can just tell.
[07:29] (Flashback) Frieren
    I don't know anything about the rest of you.
[07:33] (Flashback) Himmel
    Then maybe I'll try harder
    to teach you about myself.
[07:36] (Flashback) Himmel
    Incidentally, my favorite
    food is Ruf-omelette.
[07:39] (Flashback) Eisen
    Mine's grapes. The sourer, the better.
[07:42] (Flashback) Heiter
    Mine is—
[07:44] (Flashback) Frieren
    Alcohol, right?
[07:44] (Flashback) Frieren
    I knew that already, you corrupt priest.
[07:47] (Flashback) Eisen
    That's nothing to blush about.
[07:49] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's not a good sign that the one thing
    she remembers is your drinking.
[07:55] Frieren
    Fern, I'm sorry.
[07:59] Fern
    Why are you apologizing?
[08:02] Frieren
    I don't know anything about you,
[08:05] Frieren
    so I don't know what you like.
[08:14] Fern
    Come to think of it, it's my birthday today.
[08:28] Fern
    What a beautiful hair ornament.
[08:30] Fern
    Thank you. I'm delighted.
[08:35] Frieren
    Really?
[08:37] Fern
    You seem to be hopelessly dense,
    so let me be clear.
[08:43] Fern
    I'm overjoyed that you
    tried to get to know me.
[08:50] Frieren
    Only because I tried?
[08:55] Fern
    You really don't understand
    people's feelings, do you?
[09:10] Frieren
    Shall we get going?
[09:11] Fern
    Sure.
[09:26] Fern
    By the way, Ms. Frieren,
    does this journey have a purpose?
[09:31] Frieren
    Not particularly. I'm satisfying
    my desire to collect spells.
[09:37] Frieren
    But whenever possible,
[09:40] Frieren
    I'd like to retrace the adventures
    I had with Himmel and the others
[09:45] Frieren
    before all sign of them fades away.
[09:47] Fern
    That's something important to you, right?
[09:53] Frieren
    I don't know, so I'm trying
    to figure that out.
[10:02] Frieren
    You've finally grown taller than me.
[10:06] Fern
    I'm sixteen now. I could be your older sister.
[10:10] Frieren
    My older sister?
[10:12] Frieren
    Our diets are mostly the same,
    so it can't be that.
[10:17] Frieren
    How strange.

SIGN    27 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in Größe Forest, located in the central lands
[10:50] Frieren
    You've grown quite accustomed
    to casting defensive spells.
[10:55] Frieren
    Let's put that into practice.
[11:02] Fern
    What?
[11:08] Frieren
    I aimed for the gaps in your defenses.
[11:10] Frieren
    If this had been a real battle, you'd be dead.
[11:13] Frieren
    Now, then...
[11:16] Frieren
    How will you handle this?
[11:19] Fern
    Like this.
[11:20] Frieren
    I see.
[11:22] Frieren
    Can you withstand this?
[11:33] Frieren
    That's enough for today.
[11:43] Frieren
    Defensive magic is powerful,
    but it rapidly depletes your mana.
[11:48] Frieren
    You'll exhaust your mana supply in seconds
    if you try to maintain it over a large area.
[11:55] Fern
    So the best option is to cast it in select
    locations at the moment of impact.
[12:00] Frieren
    Exactly.
[12:07] Frieren
    Hup.
[12:17] Fern
    We've been practicing nothing
    but defensive magic.
[12:20] Frieren
    It directly improves your chances of survival.
[12:23] Fern
    You're right.
[12:24] Fern
    A single defensive spell can defend
    against most offensive spells.
[12:28] Fern
    It's strange how powerful they are.
[12:31] Frieren
    Fern, you haven't read the book on
    magical history I gave you, have you?
[12:35] Frieren
    Magic is about theory as much as practice.
[12:41] Frieren
    I suppose I'll have to read
    it to you at bedtime.
[12:45] Fern
    I'll read it myself.
[12:47] Fern
    I'm not a child, after all.
[12:58] Fern
    This village is where you wanted to go, right?
[13:00] Fern
    Are you here to collect odd spells again?
[13:03] Frieren
    No, not this time.
[13:06] Villager
    Now it's up to the weather.
[13:08] Villager
    Yeah.
[13:10] Frieren
    I have a question.
[13:12] Villager A
    It's an elf.
[13:14] Villager B
    White hair...
[13:17] Old Straw Hat
    Are you Ms. Frieren?
[13:22] Frieren
    How did you know?
[13:26] Old Straw Hat
    You're here to see the place where
    Qual was sealed, aren't you?
[13:30] Old Straw Hat
    I'll show you the way.
[13:32] Fern
    Qual?
[13:34] Old Straw Hat
    The Elder Sage of Corruption, Qual.
[13:38] Old Straw Hat
    He's a demon who committed terrible
    atrocities in this region eighty years ago,
[13:43] Old Straw Hat
    before being sealed away
    by Himmel the Hero and his party.
[13:50] Frieren
    That seal will break soon,
    so I'm here to defeat him,
[13:54] Frieren
    but how did you know?
[13:57] Frieren
    I haven't told anyone about this.
[14:00] Old Straw Hat
    Mr. Himmel visited this town every year
    until about thirty years ago.
[14:07] Old Straw Hat
    He was apparently checking
    on the condition of the seal.
[14:11] Frieren
    He always was a softie.
[14:13] Old Straw Hat
    He used to talk about you.
[14:17] Old Straw Hat
    He called you heartless
    for not checking on him.
[14:21] (Flashback) Himmel
    She's cold, isn't she?
[14:22] (Flashback) Old Straw Hat
    Quite cold.
[14:24] Frieren
    Sorry about that.
[14:26] (Flashback) Himmel
    But she's not so heartless that
    she'd leave the village to its fate.
[14:31] (Flashback) Himmel
    She'll come when the seal is about to break.
[14:36] Old Straw Hat
    That's what he said.
[14:39] Frieren
    I see.
[14:48] Fern
    This is it?
[15:03] Frieren
    It's become rather unstable.
[15:06] Frieren
    I'll dispel the seal tomorrow
    and take care of Qual.
[15:17] Fern
    You're the one who sealed Qual, aren't you?
[15:22] Fern
    Is there a reason you did that?
[15:26] Frieren
    He was simply too strong.
[15:32] Frieren
    I couldn't beat him.
[15:35] Frieren
    Even among the Demon King's forces,
    Qual was an exceptional mage.
[15:40] Frieren
    He developed the first piercing spell
    in history, which he called Zoltraak.
[15:46] Frieren
    It pierced not only defensive spells but
    the magic resistance of armor as well.
[15:51] Frieren
    It directly targeted and destroyed the body.
[15:55] Frieren
    It's said that in this region,
[15:58] Frieren
    40% of adventurers and 70% of mages
    were killed by Zoltraak.
[16:07] Fern
    That's too powerful.
[16:10] Frieren
    Yes, it was. Much too powerful.
[16:15] Frieren
    And that's why it backfired on him.
[16:19] Fern
    What do you mean?
[16:25] Frieren
    You really haven't read that
    history tome, have you?
[16:28] Frieren
    Are you sure I shouldn't read it to you?
[16:31] Fern
    I'll start reading it right now.
[16:33] Frieren
    No, it's fine.
[16:35] Frieren
    It's more important that
    you get a good night's sleep.
[16:39] Frieren
    You'll see tomorrow, anyway.
[16:47] Frieren
    I'm dispelling the seal.
[16:50] Frieren
    Don't let your guard down.
[17:20] Qual
    It's been a while, Frieren.
[17:24] Qual
    How many years has it been?
[17:27] Frieren
    Eighty.
[17:29] Qual
    A mere eighty years, huh?
[17:32] Frieren
    For us, anyway.
[17:35] Qual
    And the Demon King?
[17:37] Frieren
    We killed him.
[17:39] Qual
    I see.
[17:41] Qual
    Then I shall avenge him.
[17:46] Frieren
    Fern, cast a defensive spell in front of us.
[17:50] Qual
    Zoltraak!
[18:00] Qual
    I'm surprised.
[18:03] Qual
    You blocked Zoltraak.
[18:06] Qual
    That defensive spell of yours
    must be powerful indeed.
[18:12] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, what's going on?
[18:17] Fern
    That was ordinary offensive magic.
[18:20] Frieren
    That's Zoltraak.
[18:22] Frieren
    The killing magic he developed.
[18:31] Frieren
    Qual, your magic was simply too powerful.
[18:37] Frieren
    After you were sealed away, mages across
    the land studied and analyzed Zoltraak.
[18:46] Frieren
    In just a few years, Zoltraak was
    incorporated into humankind's magic system,
[18:51] Frieren
    and powerful new defensive spells
    were developed.
[18:58] Frieren
    The magic resistance offered by equipment
    has improved significantly as well,
[19:02] Frieren
    making Zoltraak no longer killing magic.
[19:07] Frieren
    Now it's just "ordinary offensive magic."
[19:14] Frieren
    Eighty years is quite a long time for humans.
[19:18] Frieren
    Qual, if you don't resist,
    I'll make your death painless.
[19:23] Qual
    I see.
[19:26] Qual
    I see, I see.
[19:28] Qual
    It attunes itself to the offensive
    magic and disperses its power.
[19:34] Qual
    A complex spell indeed.
[19:38] Qual
    It must consume a great deal of mana.
[19:42] Frieren
    He figured out the weakness
    of defensive magic.
[19:45] Frieren
    Fern, you know what to do, right?
[19:48] Fern
    Yes. I saw it in our practices.
[19:52] Frieren
    Then protect me as well.
[20:21] Qual
    So you can fly? Interesting.
[20:25] Frieren
    Zoltraak.
[20:36] Qual
    Frieren... My spell...
[21:00] Old Straw Hat
    Now we can live in peace.
[21:04] Frieren
    That hat...
[21:06] Old Straw Hat
    This thing?
[21:09] Old Straw Hat
    Around here, the sun's rays are strong
    even at this time of year,
[21:13] Old Straw Hat
    so all farmers wear them.
[21:16] Frieren
    I've seen this hat before.
[21:25] Frieren
    You're the brat who flipped my skirt up.
[21:30] (Flashback) Brat
    Take that!
[21:33] (Flashback) Himmel
    What do you think you're doing, brat?
[21:36] (Flashback) Himmel
    I'll kill you! You saw what I've
    been wanting to see all this time!
[21:40] (Flashback) Eisen
    You'd better not kill him.
[21:41] (Flashback) Heiter
    I'll show you mine.
[21:44] (Flashback) Frieren
    Yikes.
[21:49] Frieren
    You're still alive.
[21:51] Old Straw Hat
    Thanks to you,
    I'll be able to live even longer.
[21:55] Old Straw Hat
    I'm glad I trusted Himmel's words and waited.
[22:10] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, they thanked you.
[22:13] Frieren
    They didn't thank me.
[22:17] Frieren
    The people of this village
    believed in Himmel.
[22:22] Fern
    I don't understand, exactly,
    but I think Mr. Himmel believed in you.
[22:34] Fern
    What is it?
[22:36] Frieren
    Nothing.
[24:20] Eisen
    Because I felt sorry for you.
[24:20] Heiter
    Because it's more convenient that way.
[24:21] Frieren
    She was an irresponsible person.
[24:23] Heiter
    That's enough depressing talk.
[24:24] Fern
    Are you sure you haven't been
    around since prehistoric times?
[24:24] Frieren
    You're more conscientious than you look.
[24:25] Eisen
    It was a long time ago.
[24:26] Flamme
    Aureole, the land where souls rest.

SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
SIGN    28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    at the Granz Channel, located in the central lands
[01:37] Village Chief
    This area has always been
    difficult to navigate,
[01:41] Village Chief
    so all kinds of things wash up here.
[01:45] Village Chief
    It used to be that the entire village
    helped clean up the shore.
[01:49] Frieren
    But now you don't have enough people,
    so it lies neglected.
[01:53] Village Chief
    These waters used to be beautifully clear.
[01:59] Frieren
    I know.
[02:03] Village Chief
    How about this as payment?
[02:09] Frieren
    It's a book written by
    Flamme the Legendary Mage.
[02:12] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[02:15] Frieren
    Is this the only grimoire
    you have in your village?
[02:17] Village Chief
    Yes.
[02:19] Frieren
    Very well. We'll clean up the area for you.
[02:27] Fern
    That grimoire is a fake, isn't it?
[02:30] Frieren
    I see you've been studying like
    I told you to. Good girl, Fern.
[02:35] Frieren
    Books attributed to Flamme are never real.
    This is just another poor imitation.
[02:41] Fern
    Why did you accept the job?
[02:44] Frieren
    To help someone in need.
[02:47] Fern
    I find that hard to believe.
[02:50] Frieren
    You're right. I'm doing this for me.
[02:56] Fern
    Sounds like we've got another
    long stay ahead of us.
[03:14] Shopkeeper
    Thanks for being such a
    regular customer, Fern.
[03:17] Shopkeeper
    I threw in an extra one for you.
[03:20] Fern
    Thank you.
[03:21] Shopkeeper
    It's been three months already.
[03:24] Shopkeeper
    Have you gotten used to the village?
[03:26] Fern
    Yes.
[03:27] Old Woman
    The shore gets cold this
    time of year. Be careful.
[03:36] Fern
    It's winter already.
[03:43] Fern
    She's still asleep.
[03:45] Fern
    This place is a mess.
[03:48] Fern
    I just tidied up yesterday, too.
[03:52] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, it's morning. Please wake up.
[04:07] Fern
    Let's go clean up the shore.
[04:33] Frieren
    So cold...
[04:37] Fern
    I've been thinking.
[04:39] Frieren
    About what?
[04:41] Fern
    Are you actually a very sloppy person?
[04:46] Fern
    Every morning I wake you up, feed you
    breakfast, and help you get dressed.
[04:52] Fern
    I'm practically your mother.
[04:56] Frieren
    I can do all that myself.
[04:58] Fern
    But then you'd sleep until noon.
[05:01] Frieren
    Yeah.
[05:02] Fern
    Well, I've already given up hope, anyway.
[05:06] Frieren
    Sorry.
[05:08] Fern
    How did you manage traveling
    with the hero's party?
[05:12] Fern
    There wasn't anyone there
    to look after you.
[05:15] Frieren
    I overslept all the time.
[05:18] Fern
    And you never got in trouble for it?
[05:20] Frieren
    I did, just once.
[05:24] Fern
    Just once? They must have been very tolerant.
[05:29] Frieren
    They were a whole different breed.
[05:31] Frieren
    Also, Heiter sometimes clicked his tongue.
[05:34] (Flashback) Frieren
    Sorry.
[05:36] (Flashback) Eisen
    Hey.
[05:37] (Flashback) Himmel
    I understand how you feel, but...
[05:39] Fern
    Sounds like they were rather upset with you.
[05:55] Village Chief
    How is the cleanup coming along?
[05:58] Frieren
    We have about a third of it left.
[06:01] Village Chief
    Do you think you'll be done in time
    for the New Year's Festival?
[06:04] Frieren
    Just barely.
[06:06] Village Chief
    In that case, I hope you'll be able to watch
    the sunrise this time, Ms. Frieren.
[06:21] Fern
    Is the beach cleanup related to
    the New Year's Festival somehow?
[06:27] Frieren
    In this village, it's customary to watch the
    sunrise on the day of the New Year's Festival.
[06:31] Frieren
    They say it's beautiful how the light
    reflects off the clear waters.
[06:38] Fern
    You haven't seen it?
[06:41] Frieren
    Do you think I'd be able
    to wake up that early?
[06:43] Fern
    I suppose not.
[06:46] Frieren
    Let's hurry. We don't have much time.
[07:29] Fern
    No problems with the water quality.
[07:32] Frieren
    We managed to finish by the day before.
[07:35] Fern
    It hardly looks like the same beach.
[07:38] Village Chief
    Thank you, Ms. Frieren.
[07:41] Village Chief
    You'll be joining us for the
    New Year's Festival, won't you?
[07:45] Frieren
    Yes.
[07:46] Village Chief
    We'd love to have you.
[07:49] Fern
    Have you lost your mind, Ms. Frieren?
[07:52] Fern
    You'll have to wake up before the sun rises.
[07:54] Fern
    That's impossible for you.
[07:56] Frieren
    I'll be fine. I just need
    to stay up all night.
[07:59] Fern
    You're that desperate to see the sunrise?
[08:02] Frieren
    Honestly, I'm not interested,
    which is why I want to see it for myself.
[08:07] Fern
    I don't understand.
[08:10] Frieren
    No, I suppose you wouldn't.
[08:19] (Flashback) Himmel
    Why didn't you come to the
    New Year's Festival, Frieren?
[08:23] (Flashback) Himmel
    The shock was so great,
    it left Heiter bedridden. Poor guy.
[08:28] (Flashback) Eisen
    He's just out of commission
    because he drank too much.
[08:32] (Flashback) Frieren
    What's the problem?
    The rest of you got to go.
[08:35] (Flashback) Himmel
    We wanted you to enjoy it, too.
[08:39] (Flashback) Frieren
    It's just a sunrise.
    I doubt I'd enjoy it much.
[08:44] (Flashback) Himmel
    No, you would.
[08:46] (Flashback) Frieren
    Why?
[08:48] (Flashback) Himmel
    Because you're that kind of person.
[08:54] Fern
    She's asleep.
[08:57] Fern
    She's asleep!
[08:59] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, wake up.
    You'll be late for the New Year's Festival.
[09:03] Frieren
    Mother...
[09:04] Fern
    Who are you calling "Mother"?
[09:08] Fern
    Why am I doing this?
[09:14] Frieren
    Thank you, Fern.
[09:30] Frieren
    It's certainly pretty, but it wasn't
    worth waking up early for.
[09:36] Frieren
    Himmel didn't understand me after all.
[09:40] Frieren
    Fern, I'm going home so I can go back to...
[09:43] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, it's beautiful.
[09:48] Frieren
    Is it?
[09:51] Frieren
    It's just a sunrise.
[09:54] Fern
    But you seem to be enjoying
    yourself a little.
[09:58] Frieren
    That's because you're smiling.
[10:10] Frieren
    I wouldn't have been able to see
    this sunrise if I'd been on my own.
[10:14] Fern
    Of course not. After all, you can't
    get out of bed by yourself.
SIGN    Episode 4: The Land Where Souls Rest
[10:25] (Flashback) Heiter
    Are these for your family?
[10:27] (Flashback) Eisen
    It was a long time ago.
[10:29] (Flashback) Eisen
    My village was attacked by demons.
[10:36] (Flashback) Eisen
    What are you doing?
[10:38] (Flashback) Heiter
    Praying.
[10:39] (Flashback) Eisen
    People return to nothingness when they die.
[10:42] (Flashback) Heiter
    No, they go to Heaven.
[10:45] (Flashback) Frieren
    Until several thousand years ago,
[10:46] (Flashback) Frieren
    the commonly held belief
    was that there was no afterlife.
[10:50] (Flashback) Frieren
    Dwarves value tradition.
[10:53] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm skeptical about the idea
    of a heaven myself,
[10:56] (Flashback) Frieren
    but since current magics can't
    observe the souls of the dead,
[11:01] (Flashback) Frieren
    its existence can't be proven or disproven.
[11:04] (Flashback) Himmel
    I don't think it matters either way.
[11:07] (Flashback) Heiter
    You're right. I don't care
    if it exists or not.
[11:12] (Flashback) Himmel
    Should a man of the cloth be saying that,
    you corrupt priest?
[11:15] (Flashback) Heiter
    But even if it doesn't exist,
    I believe it should.
[11:21] (Flashback) Eisen
    Why?
[11:22] (Flashback) Heiter
    Because it's more convenient that way.
[11:26] (Flashback) Heiter
    All those people doing their best
    to live deserve something better
[11:29] (Flashback) Heiter
    than nothingness awaiting them.
[11:32] (Flashback) Heiter
    I prefer to think they get to
    live the good life in Heaven.
[11:43] (Flashback) Himmel
    That certainly is more convenient.
[11:46] (Flashback) Himmel
    Shall we pray?
[11:47] (Flashback) Eisen
    Yeah.
SIGN    28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Bredt region, located in the central lands
[12:04] Frieren
    Eisen, I'm here to hang out.
[12:07] Eisen
    You act like it hasn't been thirty years.
[12:11] Frieren
    What's a mere thirty years?
[12:16] Eisen
    You're right.
[12:18] Eisen
    I never thought you'd take on an apprentice.
[12:23] Frieren
    Eisen, is there anything you need help with?
[12:28] Eisen
    Frieren, I heard you asked
    Heiter the same thing.
[12:33] Eisen
    I'm not on my deathbed yet.
[12:36] Frieren
    How do you know about that?
[12:38] Eisen
    Because we wrote to each other.
[12:41] Frieren
    You're more conscientious than you look.
[12:43] Eisen
    You're just too indifferent.
[12:46] Frieren
    So, do you need help with anything?
[12:54] Frieren
    Voll Basin...
[12:56] Frieren
    This place brings back memories.
[12:58] Eisen
    You've been here before?
[12:59] Frieren
    A long time ago.
[13:01] Eisen
    "A long time," she said.
    How long must that be?
[13:06] Fern
    Perhaps she came here in prehistoric times.
[13:08] Frieren
    Not even I've lived that long.
[13:13] Frieren
    So, what are we looking for?
[13:16] Eisen
    The notes of Flamme the Legendary Mage.
[13:21] Frieren
    Fine. You know most of Flamme's
    supposed writings are fake, though?
[13:26] Eisen
    I have a lead.
[13:28] Eisen
    Heiter deduced the location from records
    on Flamme left in the holy city.
[13:36] Eisen
    Her genuine notes are located
    somewhere in Voll Basin.
[13:41] Eisen
    Frieren, you must know that.
[13:45] Frieren
    That corrupt priest.
    He'd gotten that far in his research?
[13:50] Frieren
    Fine. We'll begin by searching
    for a large tree.
[13:54] Eisen
    A large tree?
[13:56] Eisen
    That's ridiculous. There are tons of trees.
[14:00] Eisen
    Well, I suppose you have
    all the time in the world.
[14:04] Frieren
    That's right.
[14:05] Frieren
    But Fern wouldn't like that,
    so I'll try to finish quickly.
[14:12] Fern
    Let's search as efficiently as possible.
[14:18] Eisen
    You've changed.
[14:20] Eisen
    You never cared about
    other people's time before.
[14:25] Frieren
    Fern is scary when she's mad.
[14:29] Eisen
    I see. Then I should watch myself.
[15:05] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[15:07] Fern
    There's a large tree to the west
    growing over some ruins.
[15:11] Fern
    This way.
[15:13] Frieren
    Got it.
[15:17] Frieren
    Hey. Why did you decide to
    look for Flamme's notes?
[15:23] Eisen
    Because I felt sorry for you.
[15:26] Frieren
    What?
[15:27] Eisen
    I felt sorry for you and Himmel.
[15:32] Eisen
    On that day thirty years ago,
[15:34] Eisen
    you said you wished you'd gotten
    to know Himmel better.
[15:39] Eisen
    You should tell Himmel himself that.
[15:45] Eisen
    They say the notes of Flamme the Legendary
    Mage describe her conversing with the dead.
[15:53] Frieren
    That's just a fairy tale.
    Besides, I don't want to see him now.
[15:58] Eisen
    All magic started as fairy tales.
[16:02] Eisen
    And don't you want to know more about Himmel?
[16:06] Eisen
    That's why I talked it over with Heiter.
[16:09] Eisen
    We were sure you had regrets,
    so we wanted to help you.
[16:24] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, both the tree and ruins
    are protected by a powerful barrier.
[16:33] Frieren
    Even after a thousand years, I'm still
    dancing in the palm of my master's hand.
[16:41] (Flashback) Frieren
    How's that little sapling going to keep watch?
[16:44] (Flashback) Flamme
    Don't sell it short.
[16:47] (Flashback) Flamme
    Once it grows, it'll still be protecting
    this place a thousand years from now.
[16:53] (Flashback) Frieren
    You'll be dead by then.
[16:57] (Flashback) Flamme
    But you won't be.
[16:59] (Flashback) Flamme
    Someday, you'll make a terrible mistake
    and wish you'd gotten to know people better.
[17:05] (Flashback) Frieren
    Do you wish I knew you better?
    Are you being needy?
[17:09] (Flashback) Flamme
    Yeah, no.
[17:10] (Flashback) Flamme
    When that happens, return to this place.
[17:14] (Flashback) Flamme
    Then I, Flamme the Legendary Mage,
    will help you.
[17:34] Fern
    Those are Flamme's notes?
[17:38] Fern
    Are they real?
[17:40] Frieren
    They're real.
[17:42] Fern
    How do you know that?
[17:44] Eisen
    Frieren was Flamme's best student.
[17:48] Fern
    Flamme the Legendary Mage is an ancient hero
    who's written about in magical history.
[17:54] Fern
    Are you sure you haven't been
    around since prehistoric times?
[17:58] Eisen
    Does it say anything about
    speaking to the dead?
[18:01] Frieren
    It's already opened to that very page.
[18:05] Frieren
    Did she know a thousand years ago
    that I'd come here?
[18:10] Frieren
    What an unpleasant woman.
[18:14] Frieren
    "On the northernmost end of the continent..."
[18:17] Flamme
    I arrived at the place the people
    of this world call heaven:
[18:21] Flamme
    Aureole, the land where souls rest.
[18:26] Flamme
    Many souls gather there,
[18:29] Flamme
    and I spoke with friends
    who once fought alongside me.
[18:34] Flamme
    This discovery of the century...
[18:37] Frieren
    "...will propel research on souls forward."
[18:42] Fern
    Do you suppose it's true?
[18:44] Frieren
    Who knows? She was an irresponsible person.
[18:48] Eisen
    Heaven exists.
[18:50] Eisen
    It's more convenient if it does.
[18:55] Frieren
    You're right. Perhaps I should
    believe in it for once.
[19:00] Fern
    Where exactly is this place?
[19:03] Frieren
    Give me a moment.
[19:05] Frieren
    The northern continent... Ende.
[19:09] Fern
    Ende?
[19:11] Frieren
    Yes.
[19:13] Frieren
    It's where the Demon King's
    castle is located now.
[19:18] Fern
    But why there?
[19:21] Eisen
    Frieren.
[19:22] Eisen
    You must find Aureole and speak with Himmel.
[19:29] Eisen
    You said you'd help me, didn't you?
[19:34] Frieren
    You've learned some cunning tricks, Eisen.
[19:37] Eisen
    Thanks to Heiter.
[19:40] Frieren
    Fine. I didn't have a particular
    destination anyway.
[19:45] Frieren
    But it's so cold around
    the Demon King's castle.
[19:50] Frieren
    I don't want to go.
[19:52] Fern
    She's already feeling discouraged.
[20:00] Fern
    She fell asleep.
[20:02] Eisen
    What a carefree girl.
[20:05] Frieren
    It's cold. I don't want to go.
[20:08] Fern
    She's moaning in her sleep.
[20:10] Fern
    Is it really that cold around
    the Demon King's castle?
[20:17] Eisen
    Ende, where the castle is, is located at the
    very northernmost end of the continent.
[20:23] Eisen
    We went through a lot in that place.
[20:28] Fern
    A lot?
[20:36] Fern
    This is awkward.
[20:39] Fern
    Maybe I'll wake Ms. Frieren.
[20:43] Fern
    Ms. Frieren. Ms. Frieren.
[20:49] Fern
    She won't wake up.
[20:51] Eisen
    Say, Fern. Is she a good master?
[20:57] Fern
    That's a good question.
[20:59] Fern
    I don't really know.
[21:01] Fern
    All she does is drag me around
    while she searches for magic.
[21:08] Fern
    But she does seem interested in getting
    to know Mr. Himmel and his companions.
[21:15] Fern
    Perhaps she's not very interested in me.
[21:20] Fern
    Ms. Frieren only took me on as an apprentice
[21:24] Fern
    because she promised Mr. Heiter she would.
[21:28] Eisen
    I see.
[21:30] Fern
    But she's such a strange person.
[21:34] Fern
    After we began traveling together,
    she started giving me birthday presents.
[21:40] Fern
    Normally she seems so disinterested in me.
[21:44] Fern
    I wonder what she's thinking.
    She's so strange.
[21:54] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren, you're not going
    to stay in the royal capital?
[21:58] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm going to keep traveling.
[22:00] (Flashback) Himmel
    Alone?
[22:01] (Flashback) Frieren
    It'll be nice and easy.
[22:03] (Flashback) Eisen
    You're not going to take on an apprentice?
[22:06] (Flashback) Eisen
    Traveling is better when you
    have someone to talk to.
[22:09] (Flashback) Frieren
    It's a waste of time.
[22:11] (Flashback) Frieren
    Even if I taught them, they'd die in no time.
[22:17] (Flashback) Eisen
    Frieren, that's not how relationships work.
[22:21] (Flashback) Frieren
    Yes, it is.
[22:23] (Flashback) Frieren
    My adventure with you wasn't even
    one one-hundredth of my life.
[22:29] (Flashback) Frieren
    You must understand that, Eisen.
[22:31] (Flashback) Eisen
    I...
[22:35] (Flashback) Heiter
    Okay, okay. That's enough depressing talk.
[22:38] (Flashback) Heiter
    Today is a day for celebrating. Let's drink.
[22:42] (Flashback) Himmel
    You just want a reason to drink, don't you?
[22:45] (Flashback) Heiter
    You saw right through me.
[22:46] (Flashback) Eisen
    You're always drinking.
[22:49] (Flashback) Frieren
    You corrupt priest.
[22:55] Eisen
    Fern...
[22:57] Eisen
    She's a good master.
[23:02] Fern
    You're right.
[23:08] Frieren
    Eisen, you're really not coming with us?
[23:11] Eisen
    That's right.
[23:12] Eisen
    I told you before, I'd only get in your way.
[23:18] Frieren
    I see.
[23:19] Eisen
    You remember how to get to Ende, don't you?
[23:23] Frieren
    Yes. First we travel through the Wille region,
[23:26] Frieren
    and then we cross Riegel Canyon and pass
    through the northern lands checkpoint.
[23:32] Eisen
    Sorry to ask this of you.
[23:34] Eisen
    It'll be a long journey.
[23:36] Eisen
    It took us ten years.
[23:41] Fern
    I see.
[23:43] Fern
    We'll be following the same path Mr. Himmel's
    party took to the Demon King's castle.
[24:14] Frieren
    You're right.
[24:16] Frieren
    It'll be a mere ten-year adventure.
[25:50] Child
    Do you think I can become a powerful warrior?
[25:50] Heiter
    I'll haunt you after I'm dead.
[25:51] Fern
    You really do collect a lot of odd spells.
[25:52] Villager
    Travelers, may I have a moment of your time?
[25:53] Frieren
    Why haven't you defeated the dragon?
[25:55] Eisen
    You're searching for someone, aren't you?
[25:56] Stark
    That's ridiculous.

    Nothing.
SIGN    28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Wille region, located in the central lands
[05:26] Shopkeeper
    You're heading to the mountain pass, right?
[05:29] Shopkeeper
    I wouldn't if I were you.
[05:31] Shopkeeper
    A bunch of people have gone missing.
[05:35] Frieren
    Was it monsters?
[05:37] Shopkeeper
    Taken by ghosts, or so the rumors say.
[05:40] Shopkeeper
    Some people have seen them
    with their own eyes.
[05:42] Frieren
    Could be the undead.
[05:44] Frieren
    Do you know what the ghosts look like?
[05:46] Shopkeeper
    I'm afraid not.
[05:48] Shopkeeper
    But if you're curious,
    why not ask them yourselves?
[06:02] Fern
    To summarize,
[06:04] Fern
    people saw the ghosts of dead family and
    acquaintances as they appeared in life.
[06:11] Fern
    Some witnesses claimed the
    ghosts spoke to them.
[06:15] Frieren
    This isn't the work of the undead.
[06:18] Fern
    It's not?
[06:23] Frieren
    The undead are corpses controlled by magic,
[06:27] Frieren
    like zombies or skeletons.
[06:31] Frieren
    But these ghosts appeared
    as they did in life.
[06:35] Frieren
    A reanimated corpse wouldn't look like that.
[06:38] Frieren
    This is the work of a completely
    different type of monster.
[06:43] Fern
    You seem to have some inkling
    of what it might be.
[06:47] Frieren
    It's a nasty one. We'd best
    be careful to avoid it.
[06:54] Frieren
    We'll leave first thing in the morning.
[06:57] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, the villagers need help.
[07:02] Frieren
    You sound like Himmel and the others.
[07:05] Fern
    Unlike you, I'm a good girl.
[07:09] Frieren
    If you want to help, then I suppose we can.
[07:13] Frieren
    We'll be traveling through the
    mountain pass either way.
[07:31] Frieren
    This is where the villagers have
    been disappearing recently.
[07:35] Frieren
    At least there are plenty of clues.
[07:40] Fern
    There are signs of magic use here.
[07:44] Frieren
    Yes. What kind of magic do you think it was?
[07:48] Fern
    Illusion magic.
[07:50] Fern
    I read in a book on magical ecology
    that there's a monster
[07:54] Fern
    that uses illusions to lure prey.
[07:58] Frieren
    The Einsam.
[08:00] Frieren
    Even among monsters of its type,
[08:03] Frieren
    it's an especially crafty and greedy
    monster that consumes only humans.
[08:08] Frieren
    It shows people phantoms
    of the dead to lure them in.
[08:12] Fern
    Does that really work?
[08:14] Frieren
    They're illusions of people very dear to them.
[08:21] Frieren
    But the Einsam's illusions
    aren't a threat to mages.
[08:27] Frieren
    They're easily dispersed by high-density
    mana such as offensive magic.
[08:33] Fern
    So we just need to shoot
    the phantoms of the dead.
[08:38] Frieren
    Could you?
[08:40] Fern
    Of course.
[08:42] Fern
    After all, I know they're fake.
[08:45] Frieren
    I shot a phantom of my master
    begging for her life.
[08:50] Frieren
    But I was used to hearing her
    beg for her life,
[08:54] Frieren
    so I didn't feel particularly
    guilty about it.
[08:57] Frieren
    Either way, it doesn't feel good.
[09:01] Fern
    What does it mean that you were accustomed
    to hearing her beg for her life?
[09:10] Fern
    It's gotten misty.
[09:13] Frieren
    We're close.
[09:16] Frieren
    If you see a phantom,
    don't hesitate to shoot it.
[09:24] Heiter
    Fern.
[09:30] Fern
    There it is. A phantom of the dead.
[09:35] Fern
    I'm calm.
[09:38] Fern
    I can shoot it.
[09:41] Heiter
    You've become quite the mage.
[09:47] Heiter
    I decided to pay you a visit
    because you've been a good girl.
[09:56] Fern
    My memories...
[09:57] Heiter
    You were right to choose the path of a mage.
[10:01] Heiter
    You've always loved magic.
[10:03] Fern
    It's using my memories against me.
[10:04] Heiter
    You were so happy when
    I gave you that staff.
[10:07] Fern
    How cruel.
[10:10] Fern
    One of my most cherished memories...
[10:10] Heiter
    You slept with it every night.
[10:15] Frieren
    Fern.
[10:19] Frieren
    No, huh?
[10:28] Frieren
    So it's Himmel this time.
[10:31] Frieren
    I assumed it'd be my master again.
[10:36] Frieren
    Does this mean I've changed?
[10:43] Himmel
    Frieren, shoot me.
[10:47] Frieren
    Right. That's what Himmel would say.
[11:13] Frieren
    Now the mountain pass is safe again.
[11:17] Fern
    Ms. Frieren...
[11:19] Fern
    That was a phantom of Mr. Heiter.
[11:22] Fern
    An impostor.
[11:23] Frieren
    Yes.
[11:28] Frieren
    Let's go see the real Heiter now.
[11:32] Frieren
    After all, we're trying to reach Aureole.
[11:37] Fern
    You're right.
SIGN    28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in Riegel Canyon, located in the central lands
[11:49] Fern
    That's a dragon?
[11:52] Fern
    I've never seen one before.
[11:55] Frieren
    Look at its nest.
[11:58] Frieren
    See that grimoire?
[12:00] Frieren
    It's one I've been looking for.
[12:03] Fern
    You do love your grimoires.
[12:06] Fern
    But what's it doing there?
[12:08] Frieren
    Dragons use objects infused
    with magic to build their nests.
[12:13] Frieren
    That's a solar dragon.
[12:16] Frieren
    It's eaten numerous adventurers.
[12:19] Frieren
    Either way, we should probably take it out.
[12:23] Frieren
    Be careful you don't hit the nest.
[12:26] Fern
    Got it.
[12:40] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, that didn't do anything.
[12:43] Frieren
    Figures. Dragons really are tough.
[12:46] Frieren
    We have no choice, then. Let's run.
[13:07] Frieren
    We finally lost it.
[13:09] Frieren
    It's a quick flyer, too.
[13:11] Frieren
    I doubt we can beat it in an aerial battle.
[13:13] Fern
    I... I thought I was going to die.
[13:18] Frieren
    Let's head back.
[13:20] Frieren
    If we repeat that process enough times,
    we'll beat it eventually.
[13:28] Frieren
    Of course.
[13:29] Frieren
    Mages don't play tag with dragons.
[13:38] Frieren
    I guess we'll just have
    to take on a companion.
[13:44] (Flashback) Frieren
    A front-liner?
[13:45] (Flashback) Eisen
    Yeah. You're searching
    for someone, aren't you?

    in a village near Riegel Canyon.
[13:54] (Flashback) Eisen

[13:57] (Flashback) Eisen
    He's my apprentice.
[14:00] (Flashback) Frieren
    Huh. Is he a good warrior?
[14:14] Fern
    It's so peaceful, it's hard to
    believe there's a dragon nearby.
[14:18] Frieren
    You're right.
[14:22] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, what kind of magic
    does that grimoire contain?
[14:28] Frieren
    A spell that lets you see through clothes.
[14:33] Fern
    You really do collect a lot of odd spells.
[14:37] Frieren
    It's my hobby, after all.
[14:40] Frieren
    But it's practical, too.
[14:42] Frieren
    Depending on what you consider clothes,
    it can reveal hidden weapons—
[14:46] Villager A
    Travelers, may I have a moment of your time?
[14:51] Villager A
    Mr. Stark would like to meet you.
[14:54] Frieren
    Well, that saves us having to look for him.
[15:01] Villager A
    Three years ago, that dragon
    attacked the village.
[15:14] Villager A
    That's when Mr. Stark appeared.
[15:19] Villager A
    He stood his ground in front of that dragon.
[15:23] Villager A
    After a long standoff, the dragon left.
[15:28] Villager A
    Since then, because he's stayed here,
[15:32] Villager A
    the dragon hasn't attacked,
    and we've lived in peace.
[15:39] Fern
    Then perhaps we could defeat
    the dragon with Mr. Stark's help.
[15:44] Frieren
    I hope you're right.
[15:48] Child A
    Do you think I can become
    a powerful warrior like you?
[15:51] Stark
    Sure you can.
[15:53] Stark
    But a warrior's job is hardly a noble one.
[15:58] Child A
    Grandma!
[16:08] Stark
    So you're the ones who
    messed with the dragon.
[16:11] Stark
    Don't get it too worked up.
    You'll put the village in danger.
[16:16] Stark
    Dragons are far more terrifying
    than you think they are.
[16:22] Stark
    I got this scar on my forehead
    fighting a shadow dragon—
[16:25] Frieren
    It's not that serious an injury.
[16:30] Stark
    Did my master put you up to this?
[16:32] Stark
    Who are you?
[16:34] Frieren
    Frieren the Mage.
[16:39] Stark
    Grandma, could you give us some privacy?
[16:43] Stark
    It's all right.
    They're acquaintances of my master.
[16:52] Stark
    My master must be furious.
[16:55] Stark
    I left him without so much as a word.
[16:58] Frieren
    Stark, why haven't you defeated the dragon?
[17:01] Frieren
    You have no reason to remain in this village.
[17:05] Stark
    Why don't you tell me what you want first?
[17:08] Stark
    If you're here to send me back
    to my master, then forget it.
[17:12] Frieren
    We want you to join us as our front-liner,
[17:16] Frieren
    though before that, we'd appreciate
    your help in defeating the solar dragon.
[17:20] Frieren
    I want the grimoire in its nest.
[17:23] Stark
    Why?
[17:24] Frieren
    It's just a hobby. No particular reason.
[17:28] Stark
    We're talking about a solar dragon here.
[17:30] Stark
    It's not something you fight
    for no particular reason.
[17:41] (Flashback) Himmel
    Wow!
[17:44] Frieren
    You're right.
[17:46] Frieren
    There was once an idiot who
    complimented the spells I collected.
[17:50] Frieren
    Is that enough of a reason for you?
[17:53] Stark
    Complimented you, huh?
[17:58] Stark
    That's ridiculous.
[17:59] Frieren
    Right?
[18:01] Stark
    I don't mind joining your party.
[18:05] Stark
    My master told you to take
    me with you, didn't he?
[18:08] Stark
    But I need the solar
    dragon dealt with first.
[18:12] Stark
    Honestly, I've had trouble
    defeating it alone.
[18:16] Stark
    Frieren, you can defeat it, can't you?
[18:20] Frieren
    If you can keep it busy
    for thirty seconds, certainly.
[18:24] Stark
    I see. Thirty seconds, huh?
[18:30] Stark
    Do I really have to do that?
[18:33] Fern
    What is he talking about?
[18:35] Frieren
    I thought so.
[18:38] Frieren
    Stark, how much experience
    do you have fighting monsters?
[18:42] Stark
    Zero!
[18:43] Stark
    Help me, Frieren!
[18:46] Stark
    I confronted the dragon at first.
[18:49] Stark
    But I was so scared,
    I couldn't move a muscle!
[18:54] Stark
    It slices through houses
    like they're vegetables!
[18:58] Stark
    A human doesn't stand a chance against it!
[19:02] Stark
    I figured it spared me on a whim, but then...
[19:08] Stark
    For some reason the dragon stopped attacking
    the village, and I was treated like a hero.
[19:13] Stark
    And the villagers are such nice people!
[19:16] (Flashback) Villager B
    You're still young. Get plenty to eat.
[19:18] (Flashback) Child A
    Stark, show me your new killer move!
[19:22] Stark
    I couldn't leave if I wanted to.
[19:25] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, this one is no good.
    Let's find someone else.
[19:30] Stark
    Please don't abandon me!
[19:33] Frieren
    No, he can fight the dragon. I know he can.
[19:38] Fern
    He'll need more than just encouragement...
[20:02] Frieren
    Stark, you have until tomorrow morning.
[20:06] Frieren
    Think carefully.
[20:08] Frieren
    I know you realize
    you can't keep this up.
[20:25] Villager C
    You met Mr. Stark?
[20:28] Villager C
    He's a nice young man, isn't he?
[20:30] Villager B
    He seems to really enjoy our cooking.
[20:36] Fern
    People really love Mr. Stark.
[20:38] Frieren
    Well, he seems like a kind person.
[20:42] Fern
    Kind?
[20:45] Fern
    He only seemed cowardly to me.
[20:48] Frieren
    I won't deny the cowardly part.
[20:50] Frieren
    But in your first battle against monsters...
[20:56] Frieren
    Okay, okay. I'll forget about that.
[21:01] Frieren
    Honestly, you were so meek
    and cute when you were little.
[21:07] Fern
    By the way, why doesn't the
    dragon attack this village?
[21:11] Frieren
    Who knows? It could be
    mere whimsy, or perhaps...
[21:18] Fern
    What's that sound?
[21:20] Frieren
    Stark, probably.
[21:23] Frieren
    If you're curious, why not check on him?
[21:26] Frieren
    I'm going to bed.
[21:44] (Flashback) Frieren
    Huh. Is he a good warrior?
[21:50] (Flashback) Eisen
    He was the only one who ran when demons
    attacked his hometown. A coward.
[22:00] (Flashback) Eisen
    He's like me.
[22:04] (Flashback) Eisen
    So I taught him everything I knew.
[22:09] (Flashback) Eisen
    Now he's someone who can fight for another.
[22:13] (Flashback) Frieren
    I see. He's a good warrior, then.
[22:38] Fern
    So this fissure was left by your training.
[24:20] Master
    The passage of time is cruel.
[24:20] Frieren
    An old hag, huh?
[24:21] Fern
    Isn't that a bit dangerous?
[24:21] Guard Captain
    Don't cause any trouble in this town.
[24:23] Stark
    He must've been disappointed in me.
[24:24] Eisen
    We parted in anger.
[24:25] Fern
    Your hands are trembling.
[24:25] Frieren
    You even tremble the same way.

SIGN    Episode 6: The Hero of the Village
[01:53] Fern
    You don't intend to fight
    the dragon, do you?
[01:57] Fern
    So why do you continue training?
[02:01] Stark
    When I arrived here,
[02:03] Stark
    all the villagers wore grim expressions
    and lived in fear of the dragon.
[02:08] Stark
    Now those same people are smiling happily.
[02:13] Stark
    They say this village is safe
    because I'm around,
[02:18] Stark
    even though I haven't done anything.
[02:21] Stark
    The dragon simply hasn't attacked this
    village because it doesn't feel like it.
[02:31] Fern
    If the dragon attacks the village,
    will you fight it?
[02:36] Stark
    I don't want to die.
[02:38] Stark
    But to the people of this village,
    I'm a hero.
[02:44] Stark
    I'm Stark, the hero of this village.
[02:47] Stark
    I have to defend it.
[02:52] Stark
    That said, maybe I'd actually run away.
[03:00] Stark
    I got this scar on my forehead during a
    fight with my master, not against monsters.
[03:11] Stark
    That was the first time he ever hit me.
[03:16] Stark
    He must've been disappointed in me.
[03:19] Stark
    In the end, he never praised me. Not once.
[03:32] Stark
    What?
[03:35] Fern
    I don't think you'll run.
[03:41] Stark
    You think you know me?
[03:43] Fern
    I don't know the first thing about you, but
    I recalled my own terrifying experience.
[03:47] Stark
    A terrifying experience?
[03:51] Fern
    My first battle against a monster.
[03:55] Fern
    I'd trained plenty until then.
[04:00] Fern
    But my fear made me weak in the knees,
[04:03] Fern
    and I ran.
[04:07] Fern
    The monster wouldn't stop chasing me.
[04:09] Fern
    For some reason, Ms. Frieren
    wouldn't help me.
[04:12] Stark
    My master was like that, too.
[04:15] Fern
    When it finally cornered me
[04:18] Fern
    and I steeled my resolve,
[04:20] Fern
    my body moved.
[04:26] Fern
    All I needed was resolve.
[04:30] Fern
    All the training you've done
    won't let you down.
[04:35] Fern
    Though you're a hopeless coward, I believe
    your resolve to protect the village is real.
[04:52] Stark
    Resolve, huh?
[05:02] Frieren
    How did it go?
[05:05] Fern
    I don't know.
[05:07] Fern
    I don't know,
[05:11] Fern
    but I think it'll be all right.
[05:23] Fern
    He's not here.
[05:24] Frieren
    I guess he ran.
[05:26] Frieren
    It's a shame. I had high hopes for him.
[05:28] Frieren
    We have no choice.
[05:29] Frieren
    Fern, we're going to play tag
    with the dragon.
[05:32] Fern
    What?
[05:36] Stark
    Frieren.
[05:40] Stark
    You need me to keep it busy
    for thirty seconds, right?
[05:43] Frieren
    You're late.
[05:46] Stark
    Will you promise me one thing?
[05:48] Stark
    If I die during the battle,
    I want you to finish off the dragon.
[05:53] Frieren
    Very well. I promise.
[05:56] Frieren
    But why are you willing to go
    that far for the villagers?
[06:03] Frieren
    What?
[06:04] Stark
    I just thought it was a strange question.
[06:08] Stark
    I've lived in this village for three years.
[06:13] Frieren
    That's not very long.
[06:15] Stark
    Like heck it isn't.
[06:20] Stark
    Okay. Let's do this.
[06:23] Fern
    Your hands are trembling.
[06:25] Stark
    I'm afraid, after all.
[06:29] Stark
    You don't have to laugh.
[06:32] Frieren
    You're just like Eisen.
[06:34] Stark
    My master?
[06:37] (Flashback) Himmel
    Now this is a powerful foe.
[06:39] (Flashback) Frieren
    Eisen, your hands are shaking.
    Are you scared?
[06:44] (Flashback) Eisen
    Yeah.
[06:45] (Flashback) Frieren
    You'd admit it, just like that?
[06:48] (Flashback) Eisen
    Being afraid isn't a bad thing.
[06:52] (Flashback) Eisen
    It's my fear that brought me this far.
[07:00] Frieren
    You even tremble the same way.
[07:08] Stark
    I see.
[07:14] Stark
    My master was afraid, too.
[07:19] Stark
    All I need is resolve.
[07:27] Frieren
    He's entered the dragon's range.
[07:30] Fern
    It's not attacking.
[07:32] Frieren
    It's being cautious.
[07:35] Frieren
    I thought so.
[07:45] Frieren
    No wonder it stopped attacking the village.
[07:49] Frieren
    The dragon is a smart creature.
[07:51] Frieren
    It's not stupid enough to pick a fight
    against a powerful opponent.
[07:57] Frieren
    Eisen didn't hit Stark for being weak,
[08:00] Frieren
    or because he was disappointed in him.
[08:10] Eisen
    We parted in anger.
[08:14] (Flashback) Frieren
    You hit him?
[08:18] (Flashback) Eisen
    My body moved on reflex.
[08:22] (Flashback) Eisen
    I'm sorry for what I did to him.
[08:27] (Flashback) Eisen
    I was afraid.
[08:29] (Flashback) Eisen
    I was afraid of him, Frieren.
[08:34] (Flashback) Eisen
    I couldn't believe it.
[08:37] Eisen
    My student will become
    an incredible warrior.
[09:17] Stark
    Now! Fire!
[09:23] Stark
    Hey, why aren't you shooting at it?
[09:25] Stark
    I did exactly what you told me to do!
[09:27] Stark
    You expect me to fight it myself?
[09:29] Stark
    You can't be serious, you old hag!
[09:32] Stark
    You're just like my master after all!
[09:33] Frieren
    It's already dead.
[09:35] Stark
    What?
[09:37] Frieren
    An old hag, huh?
[09:39] Fern
    I'm scared of what she'll do later.
[09:45] Stark
    I... killed it?
[09:50] Stark
    I defeated the dragon by myself?
[09:56] Frieren
    Stark.
[09:58] Frieren
    You did well.
[10:00] Frieren
    You exceeded my expectations. Well done.
[10:06] Frieren
    Look at this mountain of treasure. Yippee!
[10:09] Fern
    We can't take it all with us.
[10:16] Fern
    No more than three items.
[10:22] Stark
    This is ridiculous.
[10:24] Stark
    You're interested in this stuff?
[10:26] Frieren
    This stuff is a mountain of treasure.
[10:29] Stark
    My master said that you made the
    heroes' adventure ridiculous.
[10:35] Frieren
    Oh?
[10:36] Stark
    He said it was a ridiculous and fun journey.
[10:45] (Flashback) Heiter
    Wow, you actually made shaved ice!
[10:49] (Flashback) Frieren
    I told you it was worth searching for.
[10:51] (Flashback) Heiter
    Not only that, but it's
    fluffy instead of icy!
[10:55] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're right.
[10:56] (Flashback) Eisen
    This is ridiculous. Should we
    be wasting time on this?
[11:00] (Flashback) Himmel
    Why not? Our journey's only just begun.
[11:05] (Flashback) Eisen
    The Hero of the South, said to be
    humanity's strongest fighter,
[11:08] (Flashback) Eisen
    was defeated by the Demon King's
    Seven Sages of Destruction.
[11:12] (Flashback) Eisen
    We don't know if we'll make it back alive.
[11:18] (Flashback) Himmel
    Eisen, would you prefer a
    difficult and painful journey?
[11:24] (Flashback) Himmel
    I'd rather enjoy a ridiculous and fun
    journey I can laugh about when it's over.
[11:35] (Flashback) Heiter
    Look! It melts as soon as you touch it!
[11:39] (Flashback) Frieren
    Don't touch it. We're going to eat that.
[11:41] (Flashback) Eisen
    Ridiculous.
[11:42] (Flashback) Heiter
    By the way, Frieren, what about syrup?
[11:45] (Flashback) Freiren
    I don't have a spell to produce syrup.
[11:47] (Flashback) Himmel
    You don't?
[11:48] (Flashback) Eisen
    Truly ridiculous.
[12:05] Freiren
    Well? Can you see through them?
[12:07] Fern
    Yes, but it's not a very interesting spell.
[12:12] Frieren
    Sorry my body's not more interesting.
[12:17] Stark
    What?
[12:19] Fern
    So small.
[12:20] Stark
    I'm not small!
[12:22] Frieren
    So, Stark, what will you do now?
[12:26] Frieren
    You can go back to Eisen, you know.
[12:30] Stark
    My master told you to take me
    with you, didn't he?
[12:33] Stark
    Besides...
[12:35] Stark
    I feel like going on a
    ridiculous journey, too.
SIGN    28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero, in the fortress city of Waal,
    located in Riegel Canyon in the central lands
[12:50] Guard Captain
    Monsters are active in the northern lands.
[12:54] Guard Captain
    No one's allowed to pass through
    the checkpoint currently.
[12:59] Fern
    When will the checkpoint open again?
[13:03] Guard Captain
    Dunno.
[13:04] Guard Captain
    At the very least, we've let none
    through since I was posted here,
[13:07] Guard Captain
    monsters and people alike.
[13:12] Guard
    Excuse me.
[13:14] Guard
    Sir, the castellan would like to see you.
[13:17] Guard Captain
    I'll be right there.
[13:19] Guard Captain
    Listen here, adventurers.
[13:21] Guard Captain
    Don't cause any trouble in this town.
[13:30] Fern
    That wasn't a very warm welcome.
[13:33] Frieren
    You're right. He's a good guard.
[13:36] Frieren
    Harsh on outsiders,
[13:39] Frieren
    as town guards should be.
[13:45] Frieren
    Anyway, this city seems safe.
[13:50] Frieren
    We'll wait here for a while.
[13:53] Frieren
    It'll be a good opportunity
    to take our time studying magic.
[13:56] Frieren
    Once we drop our things off at the inn,
    I'm going to the magic shops.
[14:03] Frieren
    What? The checkpoint's closed.
    It's not like we have a choice.
[14:08] Frieren
    Go on. You're free to go.
[14:10] Frieren
    I'm going to get us a room at the inn.
[14:15] Stark
    Wanna get something to eat?
[14:18] Stark
    Right. I'll go by myself.
[14:21] Stark
    Scary...
[14:27] Villager A
    I heard the sea routes have
    been shut down recently, too.
[14:31] Villager B
    The northern lands' army
    plans to defeat them,
[14:35] Villager B
    but it'll be at least two years
    until the checkpoint opens.
[14:39] Villager B
    Business is at a standstill.
[14:44] Stark
    I haven't had this in forever.
[14:46] Stark
    The jumbo-berry special.
[14:49] Stark
    I was just a kid when I came here before,
    so I could hardly finish it.
[14:53] Stark
    I had to split it with my master.
[14:56] Stark
    I don't remember it being
    this small, though.
[14:59] Barkeep
    It seems that way because
    you're all grown up now.
[15:04] Stark
    I see. I've gotten bigger, huh?
[15:09] Stark
    Everything seemed so big when I was a kid.
[15:13] Stark
    Even my master's back that
    once looked so broad
[15:16] Stark
    started looking small at some point.
[15:20] Barkeep
    Eisen's getting up there in age.
[15:22] Barkeep
    I hope you're being a dutiful student.
[15:27] Stark
    That's what I'm doing right now.
[15:30] Stark
    Really, though, was it always this small?
[15:32] Master
    The passage of time is cruel.
[15:41] Stark
    What? Got a problem?
[15:42] Stark
    I bought it with my own money.
[15:45] Fern
    Excuse me. Could I get a glass of milk?
[15:47] Barkeep
    Sure thing.
[15:50] Stark
    What? Why are you mad?
[15:55] Fern
    Mr. Stark.
[15:56] Stark
    Fine. You can have half.
[15:58] Fern
    That's not what I was going to say.
[16:00] Fern
    What if I told you we might have to
    wait more than two years in this city?
[16:05] Stark
    What? No, thanks.
[16:07] Fern
    Right? I don't want to, either.
[16:09] Stark
    Uh, yeah.
[16:11] Stark
    What's her deal?
[16:12] Fern
    I'm relieved. You're normal.
[16:16] Stark
    Hey, did I do something to offend you?
[16:21] Stark
    A way through the checkpoint?
[16:24] Stark
    Sure, I'll help you look for one.
[16:27] Fern
    Thank you.
[16:29] Stark
    Would it be possible to fly over it?
[16:34] Fern
    The border with the northern lands
[16:36] Fern
    is protected by a powerful barrier that
    extends to maximum flying altitude.
[16:39] Fern
    It can't be crossed.
[16:41] Stark
    That makes sense. Otherwise flying
    monsters would get right through.
[16:46] Stark
    Then we have no choice.
    We'll hit up the merchants' guild.
[16:50] Stark
    They might at least be trading.
[17:04] Fern
    Trade has been shut down completely.
[17:07] Fern
    If guarded caravans aren't allowed through,
[17:09] Fern
    then the northern lands
    must be quite dangerous.
[17:13] Fern
    We'll have to wait until
    the situation settles down.
[17:17] Stark
    No, let's hit up the black market
    and thieves' guild first.
[17:23] Fern
    Isn't that a bit dangerous?
[17:25] Stark
    We'll be fine. People think I look pretty
    strong, and I'm a decent bluffer.
[17:32] Fern
    And you've got the face of a scoundrel.
[17:33] Stark
    Shut up.
[17:53] Stark
    Well, that didn't work.
[17:55] Stark
    I shouldn't be surprised. They're
    basically fighting a defensive battle.
[17:59] Stark
    There's nothing we can do
    if the gates won't open.
[18:02] Stark
    Well, we've got nothing to lose.
    Let's visit the guard station next.
[18:09] Stark
    What?
[18:10] Fern
    I was just thinking you're being
    especially cooperative.
[18:15] Stark
    This was your idea.
[18:17] Stark
    I thought you didn't want to wait.
[18:20] Fern
    You seem more desperate than me.
[18:25] Stark
    Well, I don't have a lot of time.
[18:29] Fern
    What do you mean?
[18:33] Stark
    The view from here is nice, isn't it?
[18:35] Stark
    You can see the north side clearly.
[18:38] Stark
    When I was little,
    my master brought me here.
[18:45] (Flashback) Eisen
    We departed for the
    northern lands from this city.
[18:50] (Flashback) Young Stark
    What was your journey like, Master?
[18:53] (Flashback) Eisen
    You wanna know? Back then, we...
[18:57] Stark
    Normally he hardly spoke about himself,
[19:01] Stark
    but he happily told me about
    the heroes' adventure.
[19:06] Stark
    Across his long life,
[19:08] Stark
    nothing was more important to him
    than that ten-year adventure.
[19:14] Stark
    I'm sure the same is true for Frieren.
[19:18] Fern
    I wonder.
[19:20] Stark
    But he's too old to travel now.
[19:25] Stark
    And he told you to take me with you.
[19:30] Stark
    So I need to experience lots of
    ridiculous and fun adventures in his place
[19:37] Stark
    and bring back stories to tell him.
[19:42] Stark
    It's all I can do to repay my debt to him.
[19:46] Stark
    If I take too long, my master will die.
[19:53] Fern
    Then we can't allow ourselves
    to be stopped here.
[19:57] Stark
    I bet he's still got plenty
    of years left, though.
[20:15] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, what are you doing here?
[20:19] Frieren
    Quiet.
[20:22] Frieren
    I'm being pursued.
[20:31] Stark
    Wh-What did you even do?
[20:34] Frieren
    I don't know.
[20:35] Frieren
    I was just visiting various
    magic shops, and then...
[20:42] Guard Captain
    I'm sorry, Ms. Frieren!
[20:45] Guard Captain
    Please forgive me!
[20:48] Frieren
    Wait. I don't like where this is going.
[20:53] Castellan
    It seems the guard captain was rude to you.
[20:58] Castellan
    As the castellan of this city,
    I offer my apologies.
[21:02] Frieren
    It doesn't bother me. He was
    just doing his job as a guard.
[21:07] Frieren
    I'm actually not in any kind of hurry.
    I'm taking my time—
[21:10] Castellan
    You plan to travel north again, don't you?
[21:15] Castellan
    I hear the northern lands are currently
    engaged in an endless conflict
[21:18] Castellan
    with the remnants of the Demon King's forces.
[21:21] Castellan
    You must be concerned about
    the present situation.
[21:24] Castellan
    Truly, you have the kindness of a hero.
[21:28] Castellan
    The people of the northern lands
    will be delighted as well.
[21:32] Castellan
    Please feel free to pass
    through the checkpoint.
[21:48] Fern
    I can't believe we're getting
     through this easily.
[21:51] Fern
    Shouldn't we have told them
    who you were from the start?
[21:56] Frieren
    I didn't think there was any point.
[21:59] Frieren
    I wanted to take my time, anyway.
[22:01] Frieren
    And I don't really like this kind of thing.
[22:06] Frieren
    It's an unsettling sight.
[22:09] Stark
    I'm glad I got to see it, though.
[22:20] Stark
    This must be how my master
    departed for the north, too.
[22:36] Frieren
    You're right.
[22:38] Frieren
    Aw, darn. I wanted to do
    more magical research.
[22:43] Fern
    You're still saying that?
[22:44] Stark
    We went through a lot of trouble
    after that, you know. Right?
[22:48] Fern
    Yes.
[24:20] Demon Child
    It hurts...
[24:20] Frieren
    Humans love to make a fuss.
[24:20] Granat
    He died in battle against
    Aura ten years ago.
[24:21] Demon Child
    Mom...

[24:24] Villager
    Then we'd be no different from the demons.

    A grimoire by Flamme the Legendary Mage?
[00:05] (Flashback) Freiren
    They say books attributed
    to Flamme are never real.
[00:09] (Flashback) Freiren
    Only forgeries have been found until now.
[00:13] (Flashback) Frieren
    This is probably the best imitation
    I've seen so far, though.
[00:18] (Flashback) Frieren
    Not bad as a reward for defeating monsters.
[00:21] (Flashback) Himmel
    I really don't understand the appeal.
[00:24] (Flashback) Heiter
    That said, when all you see are fakes,
[00:27] (Flashback) Heiter
    you start to doubt whether the
    genuine article ever existed at all.
[00:31] (Flashback) Eisen
    Flamme, the founder of humanity's magic,
    is like a fairy tale herself.
[00:38] (Flashback) Frieren
    A fairy tale, huh?
[00:41] (Flashback) Frieren
    I suppose. It's been long enough since then.
[00:46] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm probably the only one
    who remembers her face.
[01:00] Freiren
    It's morning.
[01:06] Fern
    Ms. Frieren woke up early!
[01:09] Stark
    Is that so impressive?
[01:11] Fern
    Of course it is.

    We must be sure to praise her.

SIGN    28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    on Eng Road, located in the northern lands
[03:11] Traveler
    Thank you.
[03:13] Traveler
    With the road blocked,
    I didn't know what I was going to do.
[03:24] Stark
    Hey, is this really necessary?
[03:28] Frieren
    You're not happy about it?
    The reward isn't bad.
[03:31] Stark
    No, I mean, couldn't you just use magic
    to carry the cart to the other side?
[03:36] Freiren
    That wouldn't help the
    people who come after us.
[03:39] Frieren
    That's what Fern said, anyway.
[03:42] Frieren
    You're rather selfish, Stark.
[03:45] Stark
    That's rich, coming from you.
[03:51] Traveler
    Thank you.
[03:52] Stark
    Hey, thanks.
[04:01] Stark
    By the way, why was there
    a landslide in just this area?
[04:06] Villager
    The northern lands have been
    fighting demons here and there, too.
[04:12] Villager
    This landslide was probably
    caused by one such skirmish.
[04:16] Stark
    The scars of battle, huh?
[04:23] Fern
    Mr. Stark, could you take a break
    from that to help me over here?
[04:31] Fern
    Mr. Stark?
[04:33] Stark
    Hey, could you stop calling me Mr. Stark?
[04:38] Stark
    It weirds me out.
    We're not that different in age.
[04:44] Fern
    I see. Very well.
[04:49] Fern
    Stark, quit wasting time
    and help me already. Hurry up.
[04:52] Stark
    So rude!
[04:54] Stark
    I meant more like, can't you speak to me
    in a more casual or familiar way?
[05:00] Fern
    I see.
[05:01] Stark
    And can't you be friendlier, too?
    I'm sensitive, okay?
[05:06] Fern
    What a pain in the rear.
[05:07] Stark
    What'd you call me?!
[05:09] Frieren
    Are you making progress over there?
[05:12] Fern
    Let's hurry, Mr. Stark.
[05:16] Stark
    Okay.
[05:19] Traveler
    Thank you so much.
[05:22] Traveler
    If you'd like, I can show you
    the way to the town.
[05:26] Traveler
    An elf, huh?
[05:29] Traveler
    I've lived many years, but this
    is my first time seeing one.
[05:33] Frieren
    I suppose we're something of a rarity.
[05:35] Fern
    Come to think of it, I've never
    seen an elf besides you.
[05:40] Frieren
    There aren't very many of us.
[05:43] Frieren
    I've only seen my own kind a handful of times.
[05:48] Frieren
    Elves may live a long time,
[05:51] Frieren
    but across the board, we lack romantic
    feelings and reproductive instincts.
[05:57] Frieren
    We're quietly going extinct.
[06:00] Frieren
    The last time I met a fellow elf
    was more than 400 years ago.
[06:05] Frieren
    Perhaps we're closer
    to the end than I thought.
[06:16] Fern
    We can see the town now.
[06:19] Fern
    There's a line of wagons.
[06:21] Stark
    Those look like merchants.
[06:23] Traveler
    The Liberation Festival is tonight.
[06:27] Traveler
    Today's the day Himmel
    and his party of heroes
[06:30] Traveler
    once defeated the demons who ruled this land.
[06:36] Frieren
    Is that right?
[06:39] Traveler
    That's what the Liberation
    Festival commemorates.
[06:43] Traveler
    The statues of Mr. Himmel and his companions
    in the central plaza are decorated,
[06:48] Traveler
    and the entire town
    throws a grand celebration.
[06:52] Frieren
    Humans love to make a fuss.
[06:54] Frieren
    They hold festivals for everything.
[06:57] Traveler
    It's been more than eighty years
    since the demons were defeated.
[07:03] Traveler
    That's more than enough time for something
    to pass from human memory.
[07:10] Traveler
    But on this day, everyone
    remembers the party of heroes.
[07:21] (Flashback) Himmel
    Nice work.
[07:24] (Flashback) Eisen
    Five retakes, huh?
[07:26] (Flashback) Heiter
    We finished sooner than usual this time.
[07:29] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're always getting statues made, Himmel.
[07:33] (Flashback) Himmel
    Because I want everyone to remember us.
[07:37] (Flashback) Himmel
    Unlike you, we don't live that long.
[07:42] (Flashback) Himmel
    I need future generations to
    remember how handsome I was.
[07:46] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm heading back to the inn.
[07:49] (Flashback) Himmel
    But I guess the biggest reason
[07:53] (Flashback) Himmel
    is so you won't be alone in the future.
[08:00] (Flashback) Frieren
    What does that mean?
[08:02] (Flashback) Himmel
    We're not fairy tales.
[08:04] (Flashback) Himmel
    We really existed.
[08:13] Traveler
    Every year, we celebrate the great deeds
    accomplished by the party of heroes.
[08:21] Traveler
    Come to think of it, you look a lot
[08:24] Traveler
    like the statue of Ms. Frieren
    from that very party.
[08:29] Frieren
    Will they still be doing this
    a hundred years from now?
[08:33] Traveler
    Yes, as long as this town still stands.
[08:36] Frieren
    How about a thousand?
[08:39] Traveler
    Well, I don't know.
[08:48] Frieren
    Shall we go?
[08:51] Frieren
    We're heading far to the north.
[08:54] Stark
    Come to think of it, you haven't
    told me your destination yet.
[08:59] Stark
    Where are we going?
[09:03] Frieren
    Heaven.
[09:05] Stark
    Now that sounds fun.
SIGN    28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in Graf Granat's domain, located in the northern lands
[09:24] Fern
    There are a lot of guards here.
[09:27] Fern
    Do you suppose something happened?
[09:30] Stark
    Let's decide who's going shopping.
[09:40] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, we're in a town.
[09:42] Frieren
    I sense demons.
[09:43] Fern
    What?
[09:55] Guard A
    Hey, you! What are you doing?!
[10:05] Lügner
    Graf Granat, did you put her up to this?
[10:10] Granat
    Lord Lügner, while it's true
    I despise you and wish you dead,
[10:16] Granat
    I'm not foolish enough to openly attack
    peace envoys in the middle of town.
[10:22] Fern
    Peace envoys?
[10:24] Granat
    They're probably adventurers
    who don't know what's going on.
[10:29] Lügner
    If you say so.
[10:34] Lügner
    There's bloodlust in those calm, cold eyes.
[10:40] Lügner
    Even the townsfolk who hate us
    look upon me as a person,
[10:46] Lügner
    even as they tremble in fear.
[10:50] Lügner
    But you look at me as
    though I'm a wild beast.
[10:56] Frieren
    Aren't you?
[10:58] Freiren
    You demons are wild beasts who
    imitate human speech
[11:02] Freiren
    but can't be communicated with.
[11:06] Granat
    Throw her in the dungeon
    beneath the mansion.
[11:08] Guard
    Yes, milord.
[11:12] Stark
    Huh?
[11:16] Stark
    Hey!
[11:32] Frieren
    I'm bored.
[11:38] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[11:40] Stark
    They said to reflect on your
    actions for two or three years.
[11:43] Frieren
    That's shorter than I expected.
[11:45] Frieren
    Could you bring me some grimoires later?
[11:49] Fern
    You really do love to waste time.
[11:54] Frieren
    I'm not here because I want to be.
[11:57] Frieren
    So, what did he mean when he referred
    to those demons as peace envoys?
[12:02] Fern
    I looked into it while shopping.
[12:05] Fern
    You know of Aura the Guillotine, don't you?
[12:08] Frieren
    She's one of the Seven Sages of Destruction
    who served the Demon King.
[12:13] Frieren
    She lost most of her followers
    fighting against us.
[12:17] Frieren
    Last I heard, her whereabouts were unknown.
[12:19] Frieren
    Did something happen recently?
[12:21] Fern
    Aura regained her power 28 years ago.
[12:26] Fern
    Her forces have been embroiled in battle
    with this town for a long time,
[12:31] Fern
    but they've become exhausted
    by the fruitless fighting,
[12:34] Fern
    so they're suing for peace.
[12:37] Frieren
    So that's why they were allowed in as envoys.
[12:40] Frieren
    That was a bad move.
[12:42] Frieren
    Trying to talk to demons is pointless.
[12:46] Stark
    It can't be pointless.
[12:48] Stark
    They're capable of speech.
[12:49] Stark
    Surely the best option would be
    to resolve things by talking them out?
[12:53] Frieren
    They can't resolve things that way.
    That's why it's pointless.
[12:58] Frieren
    Demons are man-eating monsters.
[13:01] Frieren
    Have you ever wondered why they
    speak the same language as humans?
[13:10] (Flashback) Villagers
    Hero, you must slay the fiend!
[13:18] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's only a child.
[13:19] (Flashback) Mother
    So what? That thing ate our daughter!
[13:31] (Flashback) Demon Child
    It hurts...
[13:35] (Flashback) Demon Child
    It hurts, Mom...
[13:46] (Flashback) Frieren
    Enough. I'll do it.
[13:49] (Flashback) Village Chief
    Then we'd be no different from the demons.
[13:54] (Flashback) Village Chief
    It's not as though they have to
    eat humans to survive, right?
[13:59] (Flashback) Village Chief
    Why don't we give her
    the opportunity to atone?
[14:03] (Flashback) Father
    Chief...
[14:05] (Flashback) Mother
    You can't be serious!
[14:07] (Flashback) Mother
    Give us back our daughter!
[14:15] (Flashback) Village Chief
    I'll tend your wounds at my home.
[14:18] (Flashback) Village Chief
    I've been looking for someone
    to help on the farm.
[14:24] (Flashback) Frieren
    Himmel, you'll regret not
    killing it now. It's a—
[14:30] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren, we're capable of speech
    with each other.
[14:34] (Flashback) Himmel
    We'll be staying in this village anyway.
[14:36] (Flashback) Himmel
    Why don't we see how it goes?
[14:41] (Flashback) Frieren
    Fine.
[15:16] (Flashback) Himmel
    Why did you kill the village chief?
[15:23] (Flashback) Mother
    We should've killed it back then.
[15:28] (Flashback) Demon Child
    There it is again.
[15:32] (Flashback) Demon Child
    Every day I felt your desire to kill me.
[15:37] (Flashback) Demon Child
    I just want to live in peace.
[15:41] (Flashback) Demon Child
    So I brought you a replacement
    for the daughter I ate.
[15:50] (Flashback) Himmel
    That's the village chief's daughter.
[15:53] (Flashback) Demon Child
    But the village chief is gone now.
[16:02] (Flashback) Demon Child
    It seems I've made a mistake somehow.
[16:07] (Flashback) Demon Child
    Then I have no choice.
    I'm taking this child hostage.
[16:18] (Flashback) Frieren
    You won't stop me again, will you?
[16:21] (Flashback) Himmel
    No.
[16:23] (Flashback) Demon Child
    Mom...
[16:31] (Flashback) Frieren
    "Mom" again?
[16:33] (Flashback) Frieren
    Like monsters, demons don't raise their young.
[16:37] (Flashback) Frieren
    They spend most of their time
    after birth living in solitude.
[16:43] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're solitary creatures by nature.
    You have no concept of family.
[16:50] (Flashback) Frieren
    So why do you use the word "mom"?
[16:55] (Flashback) Demon Child
    Because it stops you from killing us.
[17:00] (Flashback) Demon Child
    A wonderful, magical word...
[17:08] Frieren
    For them, words are a means
    of deceiving humans.
[17:13] Frieren
    Flamme the Legendary Mage defined
    monsters capable of speech as demons.
[17:18] Frieren
    They're descended from
    monsters who cried "help"
[17:22] Frieren
    from the shadows to lure humans to them.
[17:32] Frieren
    Don't forget to bring me grimoires.
[17:39] Draht
    Graf Granat is late.
[17:41] Lügner
    A human diplomatic tactic.
[17:45] Lügner
    In any case, I'm curious about that mage.
[17:50] Lügner
    I know her face from somewhere.
[17:54] Lügner
    Wild beasts who can't be
    communicated with, huh?
[17:58] Lügner
    That's an accurate description.
[18:01] Lügner
    She's the only one in this town who
    understands the true nature of us demons.
[18:07] Lügner
    There's only one reason that predators
[18:09] Lügner
    who prey on humans would
    speak the human language.
[18:13] Frieren
    They speak not to understand us
    but to deceive us.
[18:19] Frieren
    This town won't be around much longer.
[18:22] Frieren
    I should take advantage of
    the confusion to escape.
[18:33] Lügner
    What is this?
[18:35] Granat
    My son's room.
[18:41] Granat
    He was a good boy.
[18:43] Granat
    He'd often boast about how he'd take over
    the family soon so I could take it easy.
[18:57] Granat
    His Majesty gave him this sword
    when he fought in his presence.
[19:01] Lügner
    Where is your son now?
[19:07] Granat
    He died in battle against
    Aura ten years ago.
[19:19] Granat
    All that came home to me was his sword.
[19:22] Granat
    Lügner!
[19:25] Granat
    I only invited you here to avenge my son.
[19:30] Granat
    I'm going to kill all of you
    envoys here and now.
[19:33] Granat
    Your peace means nothing to me!
[19:46] Lügner
    This room is quite clean.
[19:50] Lügner
    I'm sure you've been keeping it
    just as it was ten years ago.
[19:54] Granat
    So what if I have?
[19:57] Lügner
    I've kept my father's room the same
    since you killed him, too.
[20:04] Lügner
    Why don't we put an end
    to this, Graf Granat?
[20:08] Lügner
    Or shall we continue to shed each other's
    blood and cause even more grief?
[20:17] Lügner
    We're capable of speech with each other.
[20:19] Lügner
    Please grant us the opportunity
    to settle this with discussion.
[20:33] Granat
    Show them to the guestroom.
[20:41] Granat
    I'll consider it.
[20:52] Linie
    Lord Lügner,
[20:53] Linie
    what is a "father"?
[20:56] Lügner
    Who knows?
[21:07] Lügner
    Graf Granat resents us, but he
    seems to be an empathetic man.
[21:15] Lügner
    If we win him over, we may
    be able to convince him
[21:18] Lügner
    to lower this town's defensive
    barrier in the name of peace.
[21:22] Lügner
    Then Lady Aura's forces will raze this town.
[21:30] Lügner
    By the way, Linie, I don't see Draht.
[21:35] Linie
    He said he was off to eliminate an obstacle.
[21:39] Lügner
    He's acting rashly.
[21:41] Lügner
    What am I to do with that
    hot-blooded youngster?
[21:47] Guard B
    Lord Draht, you should not be here.
[21:52] Guard B
    Please return to the guest—
[22:05] Frieren
    Who are you? Visiting hours are over.
[22:11] Draht
    I am Draht, one of Aura the
    Guillotine's executioners.
[22:16] Draht
    I am here to kill you.
[22:19] Frieren
    I see. Done pretending to negotiate?
[22:23] Draht
    We're just getting started.
[22:25] Frieren
    Uh-huh.
[22:27] Draht
    According to Lord Lügner,
    this girl is the only obstacle in our way.
[22:32] Draht
    If I kill her, and we win over Graf Granat,
    this town will fall easily.
[22:40] Frieren
    Just so you know, I'm strong.
[22:44] Draht
    Stronger than me?
[22:46] Frieren
    Stronger than Aura the Guillotine.
[24:20] Linie
    Who is that mage?
[24:20] Granat
    Speaking so casually to me
    is a serious crime in this town...
[24:21] Stark
    We don't stand a chance against them.
[24:22] Fern
    You're a guard-killer who should be executed.
[24:23] Frieren
    I hate fighting powerful opponents, too.
[24:24] Draht
    This fight is already over.
[24:25] Lügner
    She slew more demons
    than anyone else in history.

[00:38] Frieren
    Stronger than Aura the Guillotine.
[00:43] Draht
    Doesn't seem like it to me.
[00:45] Frieren
    Why not?
[00:49] Draht
    This fight is already over.
[00:56] Frieren
    Magical wire, huh?
    It's an interesting spell.
[01:00] Draht
    So you saved yourself from decapitation
    by concentrating mana around your neck.
[01:04] Draht
    You're level-headed.
[01:06] Draht
    A common mage would've lost her head
    without even realizing what had happened.
[01:11] Draht
    But this wire is among the
    strongest of demonkind's spells.
[01:15] Draht
    Humanity's magic doesn't
    stand a chance against it.
[01:20] Draht
    I'll cut through both
    your neck and your mana.
[01:25] Frieren
    You're right. I doubt I can
    do anything about this wire.
[01:31] Frieren
    That's enough to convince you you've won?
[01:34] Frieren
    Demons these days are hopeless.
[01:36] Frieren
    They lack actual battle experience.
[01:44] Draht
    This mage...
[01:46] Draht
    She took my arm!
[01:49] Draht
    You bitch—
[01:55] Draht
    Wait! Let's talk this—
[02:07] Frieren
    That's one down.
[02:12] Frieren
    If I report this attack to the graf and kill
    the other two, surely he'll pardon me.
[02:29] Frieren
    The guard is dead.
SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
[04:10] Fern
    This is delicious.
[04:15] Stark
    My master said any town that serves
    tasty food is a good, peaceful town.
[04:19] Child
    Wait!
[04:21] Stark
    That must be true of this town, too.
[04:29] Fern
    Mr. Stark.
[04:31] Stark
    You can't have any.
[04:33] Fern
    Let's directly petition Graf Granat
    to release Ms. Frieren.
[04:40] Fern
    I think it's only a matter of time
    until harm comes to this town.
[04:45] Fern
    We should release Ms. Frieren from the
    dungeon and have her defeat the demons.
[04:51] Stark
    That's our only option after all, huh?
[04:54] Stark
    We wouldn't stand a chance against them.
[04:57] Stark
    Especially not that Lügner guy.
    He's unbelievably strong.
[05:02] Stark
    He was only looking at Frieren.
[05:05] Stark
    Even though we were standing there
    next to him with the guards,
[05:09] Stark
    he was only looking at Frieren.
[05:14] Stark
    It's because he thinks he
    can kill us at any time.
[05:18] Stark
    My hands still haven't stopped shaking.
[05:27] Stark
    See? I even spilled my drink
    so it looks like I wet myself.
[05:31] Stark
    That's just how strong he is.
[05:34] Fern
    You should wipe that up. Let's go.
[05:38] Stark
    Lügner and his guys are with the graf.
[05:42] Stark
    Worst case, a fight will break out.
[05:44] Fern
    That wouldn't stop the party
    of heroes from going.
[05:52] Stark
    You're right.
[05:53] Stark
    If I lost my nerve here, I'd never
    be able to face my master again.
[05:59] Stark
    Let's go.
[06:01] Fern
    You can keep the handkerchief.
[06:03] Stark
    Huh?
[06:09] Fern
    What's the matter?
[06:11] Stark
    I'm paralyzed with fear.
[06:18] Linie
    I'm no longer detecting Draht's magic.
[06:23] Lügner
    He must be dead.
[06:25] Linie
    What an idiot. He underestimated her.
[06:30] Lügner
    Underestimated her?
[06:32] Lügner
    We are the right-hand men of
    Lady Aura. Her executioners.
[06:37] Lügner
    You think we'd die from merely
    underestimating someone?
[06:42] Linie
    Who is that mage?
[06:51] Granat
    Sorry I kept you waiting.
[06:55] Granat
    The mage I captured has escaped.
[06:58] Granat
    The soldier guarding her cell was beheaded.
[07:01] Lügner
    That can't be good.
[07:03] Lügner
    We'll help you look for her.
[07:05] Lügner
    Linie is skilled at locating magic—
[07:07] Granat
    No, that's all right.
[07:11] Granat
    By the way, one of your men
    seems to be missing.
[07:16] Lügner
    He's in the privy. He'll be back soon.
[07:19] Granat
    Without asking a servant for directions?
[07:25] Granat
    Even I can tell she's a skilled mage.
[07:30] Granat
    But she allowed my guards
    to seize her without a fight.
[07:34] Granat
    She understands the seriousness
    of killing a guard.
[07:39] Granat
    Lord Lügner, I'll ask you one last time.
[07:47] Granat
    Where is your man?
[07:59] Lügner
    Honestly.
[08:07] Lügner
    That idiot Draht.
[08:19] Lügner
    He ruined everything.
[08:36] Lügner
    It's strange, though.
[08:39] Lügner
    Now that violence has become the only way
    to resolve this mess, I'm overjoyed.
[08:49] Lügner
    Graf Granat, what are words?
[08:53] Lügner
    How do they differ from swords?
[08:56] Lügner
    No matter what we use, the weak die.
[09:03] Lügner
    Just like this sword's former owner.
[09:06] Granat
    Lügner!
[09:18] Lügner
    In the end, we are wild beasts.
[09:22] Lügner
    Don't worry. I won't kill you.
[09:27] Lügner
    You're going to help us remove
    this town's defensive barrier.
[09:37] Stark
    We should be arriving at
    the graf's mansion soon.
[09:43] Fern
    Ms. Frieren?
[09:49] Fern
    You're Ms. Frieren, aren't you?
[09:58] Stark
    What are you doing here?
[10:01] Fern
    Don't tell me you broke out of the dungeon.
[10:04] Frieren
    I didn't have a choice.
[10:07] Frieren
    Some demon named Draht
    attacked me while I was in there.
[10:11] Frieren
    I defeated him,
[10:14] Frieren
    but when demons die, they turn into
    mana particles and disappear.
[10:18] Fern
    What do you mean by that?
[10:20] Frieren
    He'd already killed the dungeon guard.
[10:25] Frieren
    The only ones down there were a guard
[10:27] Frieren
    who had been beheaded using
    magical wire and me, a mage.
[10:33] Frieren
    How would you read that situation?
[10:36] Fern
    That you're a guard-killer
    who should be executed.
[10:39] Frieren
    Right? This is becoming a pain.
    I'm leaving town.
[10:43] Fern
    Wait.
[10:45] Fern
    If you leave, the remaining
    demons will run wild.
[10:48] Fern
    Are you really going to abandon this town?
[10:52] Frieren
    Why don't you two defeat them?
[10:54] Fern
    You make it sound so easy.
[10:57] Stark
    We don't stand a chance against them.
[11:01] Frieren
    You're not going to fight them
    just because they're strong?
[11:07] Frieren
    Besides, I don't think you're
    weaker than them at all.
[11:16] Stark
    Wait!
[11:18] Stark
    We'll fight, okay? At least help us!
[11:21] Stark
    I'm begging you!
[11:25] Stark
    Peek.
[11:27] Stark
    Hey, wait!
[11:29] Stark
    Please, Frieren!
[11:31] Fern
    You don't know when to give up,
    do you? Let's steel ourselves.
[11:35] Stark
    But... it's impossible...
[11:39] Fern
    Don't be childish.
[11:50] Frieren
    About ten kilometers from town...
[11:53] Frieren
    I sense a great deal of mana.
[11:55] Frieren
    We're being observed.
[12:16] Frieren
    Aura the Guillotine, one of the
    Seven Sages of Destruction.
[12:21] Frieren
    I hate fighting powerful opponents, too.
[12:28] Frieren
    All the more reason to finish this quickly.
[13:23] Stark
    Should we be sneaking
    into the mansion like this?
[13:27] Fern
    Would you rather tell the gate guards
    that we're here to kill the peace envoys?
[13:49] Stark
    It's oddly quiet.
[14:00] Lügner
    I love magic.
[14:04] Lügner
    Just as Qual, the Elder Sage of Corruption,
[14:08] Lügner
    spent most of his life
    developing a killing spell...
[14:17] Lügner
    demons dedicate the entirety of our long
    lives to researching a single kind of magic.
[14:25] Lügner
    We develop our research
    daily over years and years.
[14:30] Lügner
    Ten years from now, our
    magics will be even greater,
[14:34] Lügner
    and we will become even stronger.
[14:41] Lügner
    But magic is a strange thing.
[14:46] Lügner
    Flamme the Legendary Mage's
    defensive barrier has prevented demons
[14:52] Lügner
    from invading and protected this town.
[15:18] Lügner
    Sometimes a spell cast by a genius a thousand
    years ago outmatches spells of the present.
[15:28] Lügner
    I despise geniuses.
[15:31] Lügner
    They lack the beauty of accumulated effort.
[15:36] Lügner
    The Granat family has been entrusted with
    maintaining the barrier for generations.
[15:42] Lügner
    If you could allow us into this town,
    then there must be a way to control it.
[15:50] Lügner
    Teach it to me.
[15:57] Lügner
    I'll give you some time.
[16:02] Lügner
    Consider it carefully.
[16:05] Lügner
    Making someone wait is an effective
    diplomatic strategy for humans as well.
[16:11] Lügner
    If you won't talk, then all that
    awaits you is further torture.
[16:25] Lügner
    There must be a grimoire
    related to the barrier somewhere.
[16:28] Lügner
    Search the bedroom. I'll search the study.
[16:45] Granat
    You're just that adventurer kid
    from this afternoon.
[16:49] Granat
    I thought my son had come for me.
[16:52] Stark
    You look awful.
    Those demons did this to you?
[16:58] Stark
    I'll release you.
[17:05] Granat
    You're trembling.
[17:06] Stark
    Is that a problem?
[17:08] Granat
    No. It's valiant.
[17:11] Granat
    My dead son was trembling
    before he headed off to battle, too.
[17:20] Stark
    Damn it. I can't cut the rope.
[17:22] Stark
    Is it magical?
[17:24] Granat
    Don't worry about me.
    I'm done for either way.
[17:29] Granat
    Evacuating the townsfolk is more important.
[17:31] Stark
    They're not gonna listen without you.
[17:36] Granat
    The Granat family crest hangs from my neck.
[17:41] Granat
    Show this to the guards,
    and they'll do whatever you say.
[17:46] Granat
    And speaking so casually to me
    is a serious crime in this town, brat.
[17:59] Granat
    I know. Given the circumstances,
    I'll overlook this offense.
[18:03] Granat
    Now go.
[18:05] Stark
    I see.
[18:07] Stark
    Sorry, old man.
[18:10] Stark
    I'm gonna break this
    expensive-looking chair.
[18:14] Stark
    I can't afford to replace it.
[18:18] Linie
    Lord Lügner, a rat.
[18:23] Lügner
    Graf Granat, do you know him?
[18:26] Granat
    No. He's one of the adventurers
    from this afternoon.
[18:30] Granat
    He must've come to petition me directly
[18:33] Granat
    without realizing the mage
    he was with escaped.
[18:37] Granat
    What a stupid kid.
[18:39] Lügner
    I see.
[18:41] Stark
    Again.
[18:43] Lügner
    You can leave, boy.
[18:45] Lügner
    I'll let you live.
[18:47] Stark
    He's doing it again.
[18:50] Stark
    He's not even looking at me.
[18:54] Lügner
    What's the matter? Move.
[18:56] Lügner
    If you get in my way, I'll kill you.
[19:03] Stark
    Go ahead and try!
[19:08] Lügner
    He's fast.
[19:11] Lügner
    But you're only human.
[19:25] Lügner
    You protected your vitals.
    Your reflexes aren't bad.
[19:29] Lügner
    That said, the young are rash,
    whether they're humans or demons—
[19:33] Lügner
    thoughtless and reckless.
[19:37] Lügner
    But you challenged me alone.
    I commend your valor.
[19:42] Stark
    Alone?
[19:43] Stark
    I see. You can't detect her after all.
[19:48] Lügner
    What?
[19:49] Stark
    Fern, I created the opening you asked for.
[19:53] Linie
    Lord Lügner, I'm sensing a mage!
[20:11] Lügner
    Impossible.
[20:12] Lügner
    A mere human mage evaded Linie's detection?
[20:19] Lügner
    And this spell...
[20:25] Linie
    Lord Lügner, let me handle this.
[20:27] Lügner
    Don't.
[20:29] Lügner
    Girl, what is that spell?
[20:33] Fern
    Ordinary offensive magic.
[20:35] Fern
    I believe it's known as Zoltraak
    in your magic system.
[20:40] Lügner
    This is Zoltraak?
[20:43] Lügner
    Don't be absurd.
[20:45] Lügner
    Demonkind overcame Zoltraak
    half a century ago.
[20:51] Lügner
    Who taught you this spell?
[20:54] Fern
    You're trying to buy time, aren't you?
[20:57] Fern
    I should finish you now.
[20:59] Linie
    I won't allow it.
[21:02] Stark
    Fern!
[21:04] Stark
    The graf is gravely injured.
[21:06] Stark
    We don't have time to fight.
[21:08] Stark
    Let's retreat!
[21:10] Fern
    Very well.
[21:21] Lügner
    We'll go after them once
    I've stopped my bleeding.
[21:24] Lügner
    You kill the warrior.
[21:28] Lügner
    My blood is on those two.
[21:32] Lügner
    We won't lose them.
[21:34] Linie
    You needn't fight them yourself, Lord Lügner.
[21:38] Linie
    I can handle the mage as well.
[21:40] Lügner
    If you'd been struck by that spell,
    it would've killed you.
[21:46] Lügner
    That spell has been modified
    to specialize in killing demons.
[21:52] Lügner
    It can hardly be called Zoltraak anymore.
[21:58] Lügner
    It's a demon-killing spell.
[22:02] Lügner
    The way that girl moved
    reminds me of another mage.
[22:06] Lügner
    And I've been struck by
    that same magic once before.
[22:20] Lügner
    I see.
[22:24] Lügner
    I remember now.
[22:26] Lügner
    It was Frieren.
[22:30] Lügner
    The mage who contributed significantly
    to humanity's analysis of Zoltraak
[22:35] Lügner
    and slew more demons
    than anyone else in history.

    Because I have an overwhelming advantage.

    Ms. Frieren didn't kill the guard.
[02:56] Granat
    I know. The demons did it.
[03:00] Granat
    More importantly,
    that mage's name is Frieren?
[03:04] Fern
    Yes.
[03:05] Granat

[03:27] Granat
    It was Aura, one of the
    Seven Sages of Destruction.
[03:33] Frieren
    It's been a while, Aura.
[03:36] Aura
    Indeed, Frieren. About eighty years, I'd say.
[03:44] Frieren
    You're heading to the town
    up ahead, aren't you?
[03:48] Frieren
    I'd appreciate it if you turned back.
[03:51] Aura
    No.
[03:53] Frieren
    Why not?
[04:14] Aura
    Because I have an overwhelming advantage.
[04:19] Frieren
    Oh?
[04:23] Frieren
    You have more puppets than before.
[04:26] Frieren
    Demon magic must be unbelievably
    powerful to control this many.
[04:31] Frieren
    Humanity's magic could never
    dream of reaching such heights.
[04:37] Frieren
    But your magic couldn't be more disgusting.
[04:40] Frieren
    It makes me want to puke.
[04:42] Aura
    That's not a nice thing to say.
[04:44] Aura
    It took a lot of work to gather this many.
[04:56] Frieren
    I recognize some of those suits of armor.
[05:00] Frieren
    Aura, it seems I must
    kill you here after all.
[05:08] Granat
    The Scales of Obedience.
[05:11] Granat
    It's the reason we haven't been able
    to defeat Aura in all these years.
[05:16] Granat
    Her magic allows her to force
    others to obey her will.
[05:23] Granat
    The magics of the Seven Sages of Destruction
[05:25] Granat
    are beyond human knowledge and reason.
[05:29] Granat
    Aura places her own soul
    and that of her target on the scales
[05:33] Granat
    and weighs the magnitude of
    their mana against each other.
[05:36] Granat
    The one with greater mana
    gains control of the other,
[05:40] Granat
    turning them into a puppet for all eternity—
    until their body withers to dust.
[05:49] Granat
    It's a risky spell, but that's
    what makes it powerful.
[05:53] Granat
    And in the hands of someone with mana
    as tremendous as Aura, it's unbeatable.
[05:58] Fern
    Is there no way to counter it?
[06:02] Granat
    Though the weight of Aura's mana
    is enough to fully tip the scales,
[06:06] Granat
    the scales themselves do judge fairly.
[06:09] Granat
    If a soul with greater mana than Aura's
    were to be placed on the scales,
[06:14] Granat
    Aura could be defeated.
[06:18] Granat
    But they say that hasn't happened
    once in the five hundred years
[06:24] Granat
    since Aura became a Sage of Destruction.
[06:27] Fern
    Then there's no way to fight it?
[06:35] Granat
    There was.
[06:38] Granat
    Those with powerful wills could
    temporarily resist the spell.
[06:46] Granat
    The greater the individual,
    the more iron their will.
[06:51] Stark
    And even then, it was only temporary?
[06:54] Granat
    But it was a fatal flaw.
[06:56] Granat
    The strong-willed must have been
    an obstacle to her.
[07:00] Granat
    So...
[07:03] Granat
    Aura the Guillotine dealt with them in the
    most logical way after gaining control.
[07:10] Granat
    It's a tragic tale.
[07:19] Aura
    Well? My immortal army
    is powerful, isn't it?
[07:38] Aura
    I'm surprised.
[07:40] Aura
    You dispelled the magic I'd cast on them.
[07:44] Aura
    No one's ever done that before.
[07:47] Aura
    Such powerful dispelling magic must expend
    a considerable amount of mana.
[07:53] Aura
    Why would you use such a roundabout method?
[07:58] Aura
    The last time we fought, you blew them away
    with flashy spells left and right.
[08:04] Frieren
    Himmel scolded me afterward.
[08:08] Aura
    Then that's all the more reason
    not to do this.
[08:13] Frieren
    Why?
[08:15] Aura
    Himmel is long gone, isn't he?
[08:20] Frieren
    I see. Good.
[08:23] Frieren
    You demons are monsters after all.
[08:27] Frieren
    I can kill you without mercy.
[08:30] Stark
    Okay.
[08:31] Stark
    I've regained most of my mobility.
[08:35] Stark
    Father, this place is safe, right?
[08:38] Priest
    Yes. It's not as strong as the
    town's defensive barrier,
[08:42] Priest
    but there is a barrier around this church.
[08:45] Stark
    Then wait here, Graf.
[08:49] Granat
    Brat, what do you plan to do?
[08:52] Stark
    Do you think the demons will just leave
    if we all hole up in here?
[08:57] Fern
    Mr. Stark, are you serious?
[09:01] Fern
    We only landed that hit before
    because we caught him off guard.
[09:04] Fern
    We couldn't find enough of an
    opening to finish him off.
[09:09] Fern
    If we'd kept fighting, we would
    have been the ones killed.
[09:15] Stark
    Someone's gotta do this, right?
[09:23] Fern
    You're right. Then let's
    do our best together.
[09:28] Stark
    No, you go to the guard station.
[09:32] Stark
    You need to evacuate the townsfolk.
[09:35] Fern
    Then you're going to...
[09:39] Stark
    Yeah.
[09:41] Stark
    I'm going to...
[09:42] Stark
    get on my hands and knees
    and beg Frieren to return.
[09:47] Fern
    What?
[09:50] Stark
    Come on! Having her defeat him
    is our only option!
[09:55] Fern
    I suppose that's more realistic.
[10:03] Stark
    The guards will listen to you
    if you show them this.
[10:07] Fern
    Very well.
[10:10] Stark
    I'm heading straight out of town.
[10:14] Stark
    What is it?
[10:15] Fern
    Your arm is in a terrible state.
[10:19] Fern
    Can you pass through the castle gate
    looking like that?
[10:22] Stark
    I'll be fine. This is normal for a warrior.
[10:26] Stark
    Is there something weird about it?
[10:28] Fern
    I've never seen a warrior walk
    around town with two bloody hands.
[10:33] Stark
    You're one to talk. You're
    covered in blood, too.
[10:38] Stark
    Huh? Whose blood is this?
[10:41] Stark
    It's not mine.
[10:46] Stark
    Hey! What's the matter with—
[10:52] Fern
    Mr. Stark, there's mana in this blood.
[10:57] Stark
    Fern!
[11:07] Stark
    An axe?
[11:12] Stark
    I don't believe it. Am I dreaming?
[11:17] Stark
    That was my master's technique.
[11:23] Lügner
    I'd meant to hit your vitals,
    but then you went and moved.
[11:28] Lügner
    It wasn't my intention to make you suffer.
[11:35] Lügner
    Why are you surprised?
[11:38] Lügner
    Is it because I'm standing here when
    I supposedly suffered a fatal blow?
[11:42] Lügner
    Or because you didn't detect our approach?
[11:48] Lügner
    You aren't the only one who knows how to
    conceal her presence by controlling her mana.
[11:54] Lügner
    Any demon can do it.
[11:58] Lügner
    That said, it's hardly fitting
    for a battle between mages.
[12:06] Fern
    You sure like to talk.
[12:08] Fern
    Aren't you going to finish me off?
[12:12] Lügner
    Since I failed to kill you instantly,
    I thought I'd ask you some questions.
[12:18] Lügner
    Or would you rather die right now?
[12:22] Fern
    Go ahead.
[12:26] Lügner
    Is that boy strong?
[12:29] Fern
    He's Eisen the Warrior's best student.
[12:32] Lügner
    I see. How unfortunate.
[12:36] Lügner
    Poor boy.
[12:37] Lügner
    He won't die a decent death
    at Linie's hands.
[12:43] Lügner
    One more question.
[12:45] Lügner
    Where is Frieren?
[12:50] Fern
    She fled the town
[12:53] Fern
    because you killed the dungeon guard.
[12:56] Lügner
    Graf Granat said something similar.
[12:59] Lügner
    Killing a guard is a serious crime, it seems.
[13:02] Fern
    The punishment is execution.
[13:04] Lügner
    Execution?
[13:06] Lügner
    That wouldn't be enough
    to make that woman flee.
[13:10] Lügner
    She holds a powerful grudge against demons,
[13:14] Lügner
    enough to teach her own student
    a spell purely for demon-killing.
[13:20] Lügner
    Someone like that wouldn't run.
[13:23] Lügner
    She must be after something.
[13:28] Lügner
    It must be Lady Aura.
[13:33] Fern
    Don't move.
[13:36] Fern
    You know where Ms. Frieren
    is headed, don't you?
[13:40] Lügner
    You're wasting your time.
[13:43] Fern
    You lied about failing to kill me.
[13:47] Fern
    You wanted revenge for my surprising you.
[13:53] Fern
    You're proud and arrogant.
[13:55] Fern
    You still don't see us—see anyone
    besides Ms. Frieren as a threat.
[14:02] Fern
    That's why you granted me an opportunity.
[14:07] Fern
    From this distance, I can blast
    a hole clean through your heart.
[14:12] Lügner
    Try it.
[14:14] Lügner
    Your head will fly before
    you get the chance.
[14:25] (Flashback) Fern
    Ms. Frieren, am I useful?
[14:29] (Flashback) Frieren
    Why would you ask that?
[14:33] (Flashback) Fern
    I'm not as good at magic as you are.
[14:38] (Flashback) Frieren
    I've lived for much longer than you.
[14:42] (Flashback) Frieren
    In that regard, you'll never catch up to me.
[14:46] (Flashback) Fern
    I see.
[14:48] (Flashback) Frieren
    But that only applies to mana and technique.
[14:53] (Flashback) Frieren
    I often let you handle
    battles against monsters.
[14:57] (Flashback) Fern
    Yes, you've forced those on me many times.
[15:00] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm sorry, okay?
[15:02] (Flashback) Frieren
    But battles end quicker when you fight
[15:06] (Flashback) Frieren
    because you fire off spells
    faster than I do.
[15:11] Lügner
    Girl, I have dedicated the majority
    of my life to the pursuit of magic.
[15:18] Fern
    So have I.
[15:33] Lügner
    How is she responding so quickly?
[15:37] Lügner
    If I hadn't reflexively defended myself,
    that would've pierced my heart.
[15:42] Fern
    You blocked it.
[15:43] Fern
    So your heart is your weak point.
[15:47] Lügner
    This girl...
[15:49] Lügner
    I see.
[15:51] Lügner
    You weren't lying about
    dedicating your life to magic.
[15:56] Lügner
    Then I shall crush you with all my might.
[16:00] Lügner
    Bluterei.
[16:04] Linie
    Sounds like they've begun as well.
[16:08] Linie
    It's a shame, though.
[16:10] Linie
    We're nearly finished here.
[16:14] Linie
    Perhaps I'll observe their battle.
[16:16] Linie
    Lord Lügner gets cross when I interfere.
[16:25] Linie
    Oh?
[16:26] Stark
    We're not finished yet.
[16:30] Linie
    You're tough. Perhaps I'll be
    able to enjoy this a little.
[16:37] Lügner
    My mana, technique, and control
    are all far greater than hers.
[17:03] Lügner
    This girl cannot compare to me.
[17:09] Lügner
    However, she's fast.
[17:12] Lügner
    I'm being overwhelmed by the sheer
    number of attacks, pure and simple.
[17:22] Lügner
    Damn you, Frieren.
    How did you train this girl?
[17:31] Lügner
    I'll engage her in a battle of attrition
    and wait for her to exhaust her mana.
[17:48] Lügner
    No, I can't.
[17:50] Lügner
    The battle will be over before then.
[17:53] Lügner
    If I could just create an opening...
[17:57] Lügner
    Linie, what are you doing?
[17:59] Lügner
    Hurry up and defeat him!
[18:08] Linie
    Honestly, how selfish.
[18:10] Linie
    He's refusing to do anything
    but fight defensively.
[18:31] Stark
    How are you wielding your axe like that?
[18:35] Stark
    Those are my master's techniques.
[18:37] Linie
    I'm skilled at reading mana.
[18:41] Linie
    I memorize the flow of mana
    inside a person when they move
[18:46] Linie
    and imitate their movements.
[18:48] Linie
    Just like this.
[19:13] Linie
    I knew it from the first time I saw
    your movements at the mansion.
[19:18] Linie
    They're the same as those of the
    powerful warrior I once memorized.
[19:26] Linie
    Coincidences really do happen.
[19:29] Linie
    Fate is an interesting thing.
[19:34] Stark
    You don't mean...
[19:36] Linie
    I am imitating the movements
    of Eisen the Warrior.
[19:41] Stark
    Seriously? This is crazy.
[19:47] Stark
    I can't win this fight.
[19:58] Linie
    He finally fell.
[20:00] Linie
    I must hurry.
[20:02] Linie
    Lord Lügner will be upset with me again.
[20:07] Stark
    "Fell"? Have I fallen?
[20:15] (Flashback) Eisen
    Stand up, Stark.
[20:18] (Flashback) Eisen
    No matter how battered you get,
    you cannot fall.
[20:23] (Flashback) Stark
    Yeah, but there's no way I can beat you.
[20:30] (Flashback) Eisen
    Of course you can't.
[20:32] (Flashback) Eisen
    I'm stronger than you.
[20:35] (Flashback) Stark
    Then...
[20:36] (Flashback) Eisen
    But you got back up.
[20:40] (Flashback) Eisen
    That means you haven't lost yet.
[20:43] (Flashback) Stark
    What kind of logic is that?
[20:45] (Flashback) Eisen
    Stark, I'll teach you the secret
    to defeating powerful opponents.
[20:51] (Flashback) Eisen
    It's simple.
[20:53] (Flashback) Eisen
    Keep getting back up and hitting them.
[20:56] (Flashback) Eisen
    For warriors, whoever's still standing
    at the end is the winner.
[21:05] Stark
    Damn it, Master.
[21:09] Stark
    You and your weird logic.
[21:12] Stark
    I guess your brain's made of muscles,
     like the rest of you.
[21:16] Linie
    You should've just stayed down.
[21:19] Linie
    You already lost.
[21:22] Stark
    I'm still standing.
[21:26] Stark
    Besides, I remember now.
[21:28] Stark
    My master's blows were heavier.
[21:32] Stark
    Yours are just imitations after all.
[21:40] Linie
    Then I will use those imitations
    to send you to your end.
[21:45] Linie
    Erfassen.
[21:47] Lügner
    Bluterei!
[22:00] Linie
    A wide swing, with no regard for defense.
[22:03] Linie
    He's lost his mind.
[22:12] Stark
    I was prepared for us to kill each other,
    but I shouldn't have been so scared.
[22:16] Stark
    Your attacks don't have any
    weight behind them at all.
[22:21] Stark
    Lightning Strike!
[22:34] Lügner
    Linie!
[22:36] Lügner
    Shi—
[22:37] Fern
    Zoltraak.
[22:43] Lügner
    Demon-killing magic...
[24:20] Heiter
    She has roughly one-fifth of my mana.
[24:20] Himmel
    I've heard there's a long-lived
    mage in these woods.
[24:21] Lügner
    If she engages her directly,
    Frieren will lose.
[24:23] Aura
    You are no match for me.
[24:23] Eisen
    What do you think, Heiter?
[24:24] Flamme
    Looks like an elf village.
[24:25] Demon A
    Kill all the elves.
[24:25] Frieren
    Because you're a far more powerful mage.

    You mean "Master."
[00:22] (Flashback) Flamme
    What is it?
[00:23] (Flashback) Frieren
    Do you really think it's unfair?
[00:28] (Flashback) Flamme
    Frieren, do you remember Basalt's last words?
[00:34] (Flashback) Frieren
    No.
[00:36] (Flashback) Frieren
    Their kind uses words only to deceive humans.
[00:39] (Flashback) Flamme
    That's right.
[00:41] (Flashback) Flamme
    They're nothing more than monsters
    capable of speech.
[00:44] (Flashback) Flamme
    That's the true nature of the
    creatures I call demons.
[00:50] (Flashback) Flamme
    They don't play fair,
    so we must be even more unfair.
[00:56] (Flashback) Flamme
    If it allows me to exterminate demonkind,
    then I will gladly embrace this dishonor.

[02:44] Lügner
    The bleeding won't stop.
[02:47] Lügner
    This is the end.
[02:49] Fern
    Your plan has failed.
[02:53] Lügner
    You're right.
[02:55] Lügner
    But Frieren won't escape unscathed.
[02:58] Lügner
    She must be fighting Lady Aura by now.
[03:02] Lügner
    Previously, we were forced to
    retreat by the party of heroes.
[03:07] Lügner
    But this time, there are
    no heroes to protect her.
[03:12] Lügner
    It's true that Frieren is a threat to us,
[03:15] Lügner
    but she has far less mana than Lady Aura.
[03:19] Lügner
    If she engages her directly,
    Frieren will lose.
[03:23] Fern
    Then Frieren will win.
[03:27] Fern
    She'd never directly engage a demon.
[03:32] Fern
    I know she'll trick Aura and kill her.
[03:36] Lügner
    Nonsense.
[03:38] Lügner
    Frieren the Slayer has always
    engaged us directly.
[03:45] Lügner
    Why do I feel like something is wrong?
[03:49] Lügner
    This girl's mana is weak,
[03:52] Lügner
    and yet I was overwhelmed by the
    sheer number of her rapid attacks.
[03:58] Lügner
    But how was she able to do that
    without exhausting her mana?
[04:04] Lügner
    I understand now. Is that even possible?
[04:09] Lügner
    So Frieren does the same.
[04:12] Lügner
    What you've done isn't fair.
[04:14] Lügner
    You're a disgrace to all mages.
[04:18] Fern
    Ms. Frieren knows that better than anyone.
[04:32] (Flashback) Flamme
    What a dreadful sight.
[04:35] (Flashback) Flamme
    Looks like an elf village.
[04:49] (Flashback) Flamme
    Basalt the Throne,
[04:51] (Flashback) Flamme
    a general of the Demon King's army.
[04:54] (Flashback) Flamme
    He must've led his forces here
    to destroy this village.
[05:00] (Flashback) Flamme
    Are you the one who killed him?
    You seem nearly dead yourself.
[05:10] (Flashback) Flamme
    That's a lot of mana.
[05:13] (Flashback) Flamme
    You must be powerful.
[05:14] (Flashback) Flamme
    Did you engage the demons directly?
[05:19] (Flashback) Flamme
    What a fool you are.
[05:23] (Flashback) Flamme
    Why do people always engage
    their enemies directly?
[05:26] (Flashback) Flamme
    Run, hide, take your enemies by surprise...
[05:29] (Flashback) Flamme
    There are plenty of other options.
[05:32] (Flashback) Flamme
    I'll never understand strong mages.
[05:36] (Flashback) Frieren
    But you do.
[05:38] (Flashback) Flamme
    What?
[05:39] (Flashback) Frieren
    You should understand how I feel...
[05:45] (Flashback) Frieren
    because you're a far more powerful mage.
[06:00] (Flashback) Flamme
    What makes you say that?
[06:03] (Flashback) Frieren
    Just a feeling.
[06:07] (Flashback) Flamme
    What's your name?
[06:13] (Flashback) Frieren
    What happened to the village?
[06:15] (Flashback) Flamme
    Its people are dead, down to
    the last woman and child.
[06:20] (Flashback) Frieren
    I was the strongest, but I still
    couldn't protect them.
[06:25] (Flashback) Flamme
    You really are a fool.
[06:27] (Flashback) Flamme
    If I'd been in your shoes,
    I wouldn't have hesitated to run.
[06:32] (Flashback) Frieren
    Put me down.
[06:33] (Flashback) Flamme
    No.
[06:35] (Flashback) Flamme
    You have potential.
    You're going to be my apprentice.
[06:39] (Flashback) Flamme
    And you know you wouldn't have survived
    if I hadn't happened upon you.
[06:45] (Flashback) Flamme
    On top of failing to protect the village,
    you nearly died yourself.
[06:50] (Flashback) Flamme
    Your death truly would've been in vain.
[06:55] (Flashback) Flamme
    We're being pursued.
[06:57] (Flashback) Flamme
    They're stronger than the general you killed.
[07:07] (Flashback) Flamme
    Interesting creatures, aren't they?
[07:10] (Flashback) Flamme
    They had every intention
    of catching us off guard
[07:12] (Flashback) Flamme
    by concealing their mana
    until just before they struck,
[07:15] (Flashback) Flamme
    but the moment they realized we were mages,
    they stepped out into the open.
[07:21] (Flashback) Flamme
    They're cunning and they don't play fair,
[07:24] (Flashback) Flamme
    but every last one of them has a ridiculous
    sense of pride when it comes to magic.
[07:30] (Flashback) Demon A
    Human mage, leave the elf girl and go.
[07:35] (Flashback) Flamme
    Will you let me go if I do?
[07:38] (Flashback) Demon A
    "Kill all the elves."
[07:40] (Flashback) Demon A
    Those were the Demon King's orders.
[07:43] (Flashback) Demon A
    Your life matters not to me.
[07:46] (Flashback) Flamme
    I see.
[07:51] (Flashback) Flamme
    Frieren, it's true that I'm painfully aware
    of what it's like to be a powerful mage.
[07:58] (Flashback) Flamme
    I know exactly how these creatures feel, too.
[08:02] (Flashback) Flamme
    I know the absolute confidence they
    have in the magics they've studied.
[08:08] (Flashback) Flamme
    In other words, they're stupidly
    proud and overconfident.
[08:26] (Flashback) Flamme
    Frieren, unlike you,
    they judged me a weakling.
[08:33] (Flashback) Flamme
    Though they were exceptional mages,
    their overconfidence cost them their lives.
[08:40] (Flashback) Frieren
    You hid your strength by controlling
    how much mana you release.
[08:46] (Flashback) Flamme
    That's right.
[08:48] (Flashback) Flamme
    Deceive and kill your enemies by allowing
    them to miscalculate your strength.
[08:53] (Flashback) Flamme
    It's a cowardly and unfair way to fight
    that makes a mockery of magic.
[09:14] (Flashback) Flamme
    Your injuries are looking a lot better.
[09:19] (Flashback) Flamme
    Shall we begin your training?
[09:23] (Flashback) Frieren
    Flamme.
[09:24] (Flashback) Flamme
    You mean "Master."
[09:30] (Flashback) Frieren
    Demons took everything from me.
[09:33] (Flashback) Flamme
    Me, too.
[09:35] (Flashback) Frieren
    I hate them so much that I wish
    I could exterminate every last one.
[09:38] (Flashback) Flamme
    Me, too.
[09:41] (Flashback) Frieren
    But I love magic.
[09:43] (Flashback) Flamme
    So do I.
[09:47] (Flashback) Flamme
    Which is why only you and I should become
    cowards who make a mockery of magic.
[09:55] (Flashback) Frieren
    What should I do to train?
[09:57] (Flashback) Flamme
    Try limiting the mana you release
    to one-tenth of its normal volume.
[10:04] (Flashback) Flamme
    Impressive. You're controlling it well.
[10:08] (Flashback) Frieren
    Any elf can do this.
[10:11] (Flashback) Flamme
    While you do that, we'll work on your
    fundamentals and raise your base mana level.
[10:17] (Flashback) Frieren
    That's all?
[10:19] (Flashback) Flamme
    Simple, right?
[10:22] (Flashback) Frieren
    By the way, how long should
    I keep suppressing my mana?
[10:26] (Flashback) Frieren
    It starts to get tiring
    if I do it for too long.
[10:29] (Flashback) Flamme
    As long as I do.
[10:31] (Flashback) Flamme
    For life.
[10:33] (Flashback) Flamme
    You'll spend your entire life fooling demons.
[10:42] Aura
    Lügner is dead.
[10:45] Frieren
    Now all your executioners
    have been eliminated.
[10:48] Frieren
    You've failed, Aura.
[10:50] Aura
    You're right. It's a shame.
[10:53] Aura
    But if I can defeat you here,
    then it won't have been for nothing.
[10:59] Aura
    In this battle, you've released numerous
    immortal soldiers from my control.
[11:06] Aura
    Was it wise to expend so much mana against me?
[11:14] Frieren
    The Scales of Obedience.
[11:16] Frieren
    When two souls are placed on the scale,
[11:19] Frieren
    whichever has more mana
    forces the other to submit.
[11:23] Frieren
    Aura can only use such a risky spell
    because of her tremendous amount of mana.
[11:29] Frieren
    Generally speaking,
[11:31] Frieren
    a person's mana increases in proportion
    with the time spent training.
[11:36] Frieren
    I can feel it in the mana pouring off Aura.
[11:39] Frieren
    She's a great demon who has lived
    for over five hundred years,
[11:43] Frieren
    and she's spent most of her life training.
[11:48] Frieren
    Five hundred years, huh?
[11:50] Frieren
    That's fairly long-lived for a demon.
[11:53] Frieren
    I doubt she's been challenged before.
[11:56] Frieren
    I can learn so much just from
    the mana flowing off her.
[12:01] Frieren
    Regardless, demons don't conceal
    their mana—nor can they.
[12:06] Frieren
    A pity.
[12:12] Aura
    Auserlese.
[12:17] (Flashback) Frieren
    Master.
[12:19] (Flashback) Frieren
    Demons are cunning, aren't they?
[12:22] (Flashback) Frieren
    Why don't they constantly suppress
    their mana like you do?
[12:28] (Flashback) Flamme
    They can't.
[12:30] (Flashback) Flamme
    Demons are individualists,
[12:33] (Flashback) Flamme
    but they form the barest connections
    needed to fight against humankind.
[12:39] (Flashback) Flamme
    What do you think an organization
    needs to function?
[12:42] (Flashback) Frieren
    Order?
[12:44] (Flashback) Flamme
    That's right.
[12:45] (Flashback) Flamme
    In other words, you need someone
    important to lead an organization.
[12:50] (Flashback) Flamme
    In the case of humans,
[12:52] (Flashback) Flamme
    importance is determined by status
    and wealth, like they do in this nation.
[12:58] (Flashback) Flamme
    That well-dressed man exiting
    that palace is a man of importance.
[13:03] (Flashback) Flamme
    It's hard to tell which humans are important,
[13:05] (Flashback) Flamme
    so they dress themselves up
    to make it obvious.
[13:09] (Flashback) Frieren
    Demons are different?
[13:12] (Flashback) Flamme
    They haven't changed a bit
    since they were monsters.
[13:16] (Flashback) Flamme
    Might makes right.
[13:18] (Flashback) Flamme
    It's far easier to understand than humans.
[13:21] (Flashback) Flamme
    You can tell who's strong
    just by looking at them.
[13:23] (Flashback) Freiren
    You mean mana.
[13:25] (Flashback) Flamme
    Mana is to them what status
    and wealth are for humans.
[13:30] (Flashback) Flamme
    It's dignity itself.
[13:32] (Flashback) Flamme
    They may temporarily suppress
    their mana for the sake of stealth,
[13:38] (Flashback) Flamme
    but none are foolish enough
    to suppress their mana all the time.
[13:42] (Flashback) Flamme
    It's the difference between a noble
    sneaking out into town incognito
[13:47] (Flashback) Flamme
    and that same noble debasing themselves by
    abandoning their status and wealth entirely.
[13:52] (Flashback) Flamme
    The world of demons is cruel.
[13:55] (Flashback) Flamme
    They'd never grant any dignity
    to those with little mana.
[13:59] (Flashback) Flamme
    So the stronger they are, the more desperate
    they are to show off their mana.
[14:04] (Flashback) Flamme
    For them, there's no benefit to
    constantly suppressing their mana.
[14:10] (Flashback) Flamme
    It doesn't even occur to them to do it.
[14:13] (Flashback) Flamme
    It's a pity, isn't it?
[14:15] (Flashback) Flamme
    Just as humans are bound by status
    and wealth, demons are bound by mana.
[14:20] (Flashback) Flamme
    Despite their pride in
    and unparalleled love for magic,
[14:25] (Flashback) Flamme
    they can't control their own mana.
[14:29] (Flashback) Flamme
    Frieren, you're lucky you're not a demon.
[14:32] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're right. I wouldn't be able
    to deceive them if I were.
[14:40] (Flashback) Flamme
    It's been three years since you
    started suppressing your mana.
[14:44] (Flashback) Flamme
    Looks like I was right about you.
[14:52] (Flashback) Flamme
    You've grown much better at that.
[14:56] (Flashback) Flamme
    Frieren, do you still love magic?
[15:01] (Flashback) Frieren
    Where did that come from, Master?
[15:04] (Flashback) Frieren
    Somewhat, I suppose.
[15:07] (Flashback) Flamme
    Long ago, you once confidently
    answered that you loved magic.
[15:12] (Flashback) Frieren
    That was only fifty years ago.
[15:15] (Flashback) Flamme
    You're right.
[15:18] (Flashback) Flamme
    In the end, all I could do
    was teach you to fight.
[15:24] (Flashback) Flamme
    Magic for revenge.
[15:27] (Flashback) Frieren
    Do you regret it?
[15:29] (Flashback) Flamme
    No. I'm glad I taught my magic to you.
[15:35] (Flashback) Flamme
    Given how long you'll live,
[15:37] (Flashback) Flamme
    you might eventually become strong
    enough to defeat the Demon King.
[15:44] (Flashback) Flamme
    Frieren, I have one request.
[15:48] (Flashback) Frieren
    What is it?
[15:49] (Flashback) Flamme
    Plant flowers around my grave.
[15:53] (Flashback) Freiren
    That doesn't seem like you.
[15:55] (Flashback) Flamme
    I know.
[15:57] (Flashback) Flamme
    Frieren, my favorite spell
    creates a field of beautiful flowers.
[16:06] (Flashback) Flamme
    My parents taught it to me when I was little.
[16:09] (Flashback) Flamme
    It's what made me love magic.
[16:12] (Flashback) Frieren
    Huh.
[16:16] (Flashback) Frieren
    Teach me that spell.
[16:26] (Flashback) Flamme
    Listen to me, Frieren.
[16:28] (Flashback) Flamme
    You must never seek to leave
    your name in history.
[16:31] (Flashback) Flamme
    Live in obscurity.
[16:34] (Flashback) Flamme
    You won't leave your name in history
    until you defeat the Demon King.
[17:39] (Flashback) Himmel
    I've heard there's a long-lived
    mage in these woods.
[17:44] (Flashback) Himmel
    Are you her?
[17:46] (Flashback) Frieren
    I've lived a long time, but I haven't
    done much with my life.
[17:51] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm not exceptional.
[17:53] (Flashback) Eisen
    Huh. What do you think, Heiter?
[17:58] (Flashback) Heiter
    She has roughly one-fifth of my mana.
[18:02] (Flashback) Heiter
    It's not bad.
[18:04] (Flashback) Frieren
    Who's this irritating guy?
[18:06] (Flashback) Frieren
    Leave. You don't have business
    with a mediocre mage, do you?
[18:10] (Flashback) Himmel
    No, you're stronger than
    any mage I've ever met.
[18:16] (Flashback) Frieren
    What makes you say that?
[18:19] (Flashback) Himmel
    Just a feeling.
[18:26] Aura
    Auserlese.
[18:46] Frieren
    You seem happy, Aura.
[18:48] Frieren
    Are you certain you'll win?
[18:52] Aura
    You'll see.
[18:55] Aura
    Frieren the Slayer.
[18:57] Aura
    You made your first major
    appearance eighty years ago.
[19:02] Aura
    With the party of heroes,
    you defeated the Demon King.
[19:05] Aura
    You're a mysterious elven mage
    whose age is unknown.
[19:09] Aura
    But it doesn't matter how
    long-lived a mage you are.
[19:15] Aura
    Your mana tells me everything
    I need to know.
[19:19] Aura
    I can see it quite clearly.
[19:21] Aura
    You're an exceptional mage,
    but your mana itself is unimpressive.
[19:27] Aura
    You can't have had more than a
    hundred years or so of training.
[19:32] Aura
    Not only that, but you've barely
    changed since eighty years ago.
[19:36] Aura
    Were you honing other skills
    instead of working on your mana?
[19:39] Aura
    Or were you simply wasting your life away?
[19:42] Aura
    Either way, you are no match for me.
[19:57] Aura
    I win.
[20:01] Aura
    All that's left is to sever your head myself.
[20:10] Aura
    It wasn't even necessary
    to exhaust Frieren's mana.
[20:15] Aura
    I needn't have been so cautious.
[20:18] Aura
    She defeated many of my
    immortal soldiers, too.
[20:20] Aura
    I'll have to replenish their numbers later.
[20:26] Aura
    What's this?
[20:28] Aura
    The scales are starting to tip toward Frieren.
[20:32] Frieren
    You placed my soul on the scales, Aura.
[20:36] Frieren
    Honestly, I would've been in trouble
    if you'd tried to overwhelm me with numbers.
[20:41] Frieren
    I'm glad you're so confident in your own mana.
[20:46] Frieren
    Now I can finally defeat you.
[20:49] Aura
    What do you mean?
[20:50] Frieren
    You should've figured it out by now.
[20:53] Frieren
    I've been suppressing my mana.
[20:56] Frieren
    You misjudged the situation, Aura.
[21:01] Aura
    That's impossible. That wouldn't
    have escaped my notice.
[21:06] Aura
    There was no hint of the instability
    or variation in mana output
[21:10] Aura
    that comes with suppression.
[21:12] Frieren
    I'm surprised. Demons are capable
    of observing mana that precisely?
[21:18] Frieren
    Sounds like my master made the
    right call with her methods.
[21:22] Frieren
    I've spent most of my life
    suppressing my mana.
[21:27] Frieren
    This state has become natural for me.
[21:30] Aura
    Are you stupid? Why would you
    do something so pointless?
[21:35] Frieren
    You're right. It's stupid.
[21:38] Frieren
    But it lets me beat your kind.
[21:44] Aura
    This is absurd.
[21:46] Aura
    I'm a great demon who's lived
    for over five hundred years.
[21:51] Frieren
    Aura, the person standing before you...
[21:57] Frieren
    is a mage who's lived
    for over a thousand years.
[22:14] Flamme
    Frieren.
[22:16] Flamme
    Just as demons deceive humankind with words,
[22:19] Flamme
    you must use your mana to deceive demons.
[22:24] Frieren
    Aura,
[22:26] Frieren
    kill yourself.
[22:36] Aura
    Impossible.
[22:38] Aura
    H-How could I...?
[24:20] Heiter
    Do you have someone to praise you?
[24:20] Kraft
    You're traveling to heaven, then?
[24:21] Fern
    I'm not sure I understand.
[24:22] Stark
    You've got a nice body, old man.
[24:23] Granat
    The largest magical city in the
    northern lands, Äußerst.
[24:24] Frieren
    What's a first-class mage?
[24:25] Fern
    What is that antique?
[24:26] Kraft
    I mean that we're elves.

[00:23] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[00:27] Frieren
    You're late.
[00:29] Fern
    You defeated Aura, didn't you?
SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
[02:22] Granat
    I don't believe—
    I can't believe this happened.
[02:26] Frieren
    Let's go.
[02:27] Granat
    Wait. You don't need to run.
[02:30] Stark
    The graf said he'd pardon you.
[02:36] Granat
    It must have been a fierce battle,
[02:39] Granat
    but none of them are seriously damaged.
[02:44] Granat
    Thank you for treating the heroes
    of the northern lands with respect.
[02:54] Frieren
    I used to cast flashier spells,
    but Himmel got mad at me.
[02:59] Stark
    I bet he did.
[03:01] Stark
    He was right to be angry. I'd be angry, too.
[03:04] Fern
    Mr. Himmel trained you well.
[03:08] Frieren
    Don't say it like that.
[03:10] Frieren
    I guess you're right, though.
[03:16] Frieren
    This is a normal reaction.
[03:19] Fern
    What do you mean?
[03:21] Frieren
    Don't worry about it.
[03:24] Frieren
    Fern, Stark.
[03:27] Frieren
    Good job defeating Lügner and his henchwoman.
[03:30] Frieren
    I'm proud of you.
[03:36] Frieren
    I'd be even more impressed
    if you weren't so beat up, though.
[03:38] Stark
    This is normal for a warrior.
[03:41] Fern
    What does "normal" even mean?
[03:43] Frieren
    You're covered in wounds.
[03:45] Granat
    See that they receive proper burials.
    I'll escort our benefactors to the city.
[03:49] Guard A
    Yes, milord.
[03:50] Guard B
    Milord.
[03:52] Granat
    What is it?
[04:05] Granat
    Frieren.
[04:08] Granat
    I've never been as grateful to anyone
    as I am to you today.
[04:25] Granat
    Frieren, I promised to reward you
    in any way I could.
[04:33] Granat
    You requested the defensive
    barrier grimoire by Flamme
[04:38] Granat
    that has been passed down
    for generations in my family.
[04:43] Granat
    Are you sure this is what you want?
    This grimoire...
[04:47] Frieren
    It's fake.
[04:51] Granat
    Yes. The defensive barrier it describes
[04:54] Granat
    is nothing like our city's barrier,
    whose spell is passed down by oral tradition.
[04:59] Frieren
    I'm well aware of that, milord.
[05:01] Frieren
    It's just my hobby.
[05:04] Granat
    I see.
[05:06] Granat
    Either way, you needn't use
    such formal language.
[05:09] Granat
    From your perspective,
    I must seem akin to an infant.
[05:14] Frieren
    I suffered a bitter experience when
    I first left to defeat the Demon King.
[05:18] Fern
    Come to think of it, Mr. Heiter
    said that in the royal capital,
[05:22] Fern
    disrespecting nobility
    is punishable by death.
[05:25] Frieren
    Himmel and Eisen were nearly executed
    for speaking casually to the king.
[05:31] Frieren
    Remembering Himmel screaming
    and crying takes me back.
[05:36] Stark
    Execution? That's extreme.
[05:40] (Flashback) Granat
    And speaking so casually to me
    is a serious crime in this town, brat.
[05:45] (Flashback) Stark
    Sorry, old man.
[05:47] (Flashback) Stark
    I'm gonna break this
    expensive-looking chair.
[05:50] Stark
    Th-The central lands sure
    are barbaric, milord.
[05:58] Stark
    Seriously?!
[06:00] Gardener
    I've finished cutting the
    trees in the backyard.
[06:02] Granat
    Thank you.
[06:05] Granat
    Well, you know, I only said that
    so you'd escape.
[06:10] Granat
    In this town, you won't be thrown
    in prison just for speaking casually.
[06:15] Granat
    Be at ease.
[06:17] Frieren
    In that case...
[06:19] Fern
    Good news for you, Mr. Stark.
[06:25] Fern
    He's passed out.
[06:32] Granat
    I've told the townsfolk of Aura's defeat.
[06:36] Granat
    They all want to honor the heroes.
[06:40] Granat
    I ask that you take your time here.
[06:53] Child
    He's floating.
[06:57] Stark
    It's not that big a deal.
[08:23] Stark
    I finished the shopping.
[08:26] Fern
    Shall we go, then?
[08:28] Granat
    You're leaving already, Frieren?
[08:31] Frieren
    Graf Granat.
[08:36] Granat
    I'll see you to the gates.
[08:41] Granat
    Frieren, I hear you're traveling to Ende,
[08:44] Granat
    the farthest point north,
    where the Demon King's castle is.
[08:49] Granat
    But currently, conditions on the
    Northern Plateau aren't looking good.
[08:54] Granat
    Travel is restricted.
[08:57] Granat
    Even adventurers must be accompanied
    by a first-class mage.
[09:03] Fern
    Then there should no problem
    with Ms. Frieren by our side.
[09:06] Frieren
    What's a first-class mage?
[09:09] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you don't know?
[09:12] Fern
    It's a certification awarded by the
    Continental Magic Association.
[09:17] Frieren
    Certification?
[09:18] Fern
    I acquired mine in the
    holy capital when we left.
[09:22] Fern
    See?
[09:23] Fern
    This is my third-class mage certificate.
[09:26] Frieren
    Come to think of it, you did have
    some business to take care of then.
[09:30] Frieren
    Is this what certifications
    look like these days?
[09:32] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, don't tell me you're
    an uncertified underground mage.
[09:37] Frieren
    Don't make it sound like
    I'm some back-alley doctor.
[09:39] Frieren
    The organizations that regulate
    mages are constantly changing.
[09:44] Frieren
    I can't be bothered obtaining
    a new certification every time.
[09:47] Frieren
    I doubt this holy emblem works anymore.
[09:52] Fern
    What is that antique?
[09:55] Stark
    Even I know about the
    Continental Magic Association.
[09:59] Stark
    They've been around for over
    half a century at the very least.
[10:01] Frieren
    That's barely anything.
[10:04] Frieren
    It's a hassle when they change their
    standards of conduct so frequently.
[10:09] Fern
    In any case, we'll need to overcome
    this problem before we continue.
[10:13] Fern
    I don't know the specifics,
[10:15] Fern
    but I believe there's a place
    in the northern lands
[10:17] Fern
    where you can take the first-class exam.
[10:21] Granat
    The largest magical city in the
    northern lands, Äußerst.
[10:27] Granat
    It's far beyond the Schwer Mountains.
[10:30] Granat
    You can follow the highway,
    but it'll be a long journey.
[10:38] Granat
    Frieren, the house of Granat will
    never forget what you've done for us.
[10:46] Granat
    Safe travels.
[11:00] Stark
    It's snowing.
[11:02] Fern
    It's almost winter.
[11:06] Frieren
    The winters around here are bitter,
    so be careful.
[11:09] Frieren
    If you underestimate them, you'll die.
[11:11] Fern
    Is it really that dangerous?
[11:14] Frieren
    Don't you know?
[11:16] Frieren
    In the war against the Demon King's forces,
    what do you think claimed the most lives?
[11:20] Frieren
    It was the winters of the northern lands.
[11:30] Frieren
    See? We're lost.
[11:37] Frieren
    What are we going to do?
SIGN    Episode 11: Winter in the Northern Lands
[11:45] Frieren
    We're lost.
SIGN    28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Decke region, located in the northern lands
[11:47] Frieren
    I can't believe we got lost before
    even entering the Schwer Mountains.
[11:54] Fern
    Mr. Stark, wake up!
[11:56] Fern
    If you fall asleep, you'll die!
[11:59] Stark
    Have jumbo-berry specials
    always been this small?
[12:04] Fern
    Who cares about that right now?
[12:06] Fern
    What should we do?
[12:08] Frieren
    In these strong winds,
    we can't transport him with magic.
[12:13] Frieren
    He'd probably be blown away.
[12:16] Fern
    Then we'll have to carry him.
[12:25] Fern
    He's heavy.
[12:27] Fern
    Why is he so heavy?
[12:31] Stark
    You smell nice.
[12:33] Fern
    Can I leave him behind?
[12:34] Frieren
    Bear it for now.
[12:36] Frieren
    There should be an emergency shelter
    at the foot of the mountains.
[12:39] Fern
    Isn't that information
    eighty years out of date?
[12:43] Fern
    Are we going to be all right?
[12:52] Frieren
    Good.
[12:53] Frieren
    It's still being maintained regularly.
[13:01] Fern
    It seems like someone's inside.
[13:04] Fern
    Perhaps someone arrived before us.
[13:06] Frieren
    We're going inside.
[13:08] Frieren
    We'll freeze out here.
[13:15] Kraft
    Good! Very good!
[13:17] Kraft
    I'm starting to feel warmer!
[13:26] Frieren
    Excuse the intrusion.
[13:30] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, we can't stay here.
    Let's look for someplace else.
[13:34] Frieren
    What? Why?
[13:36] Fern
    There's a pervert inside.
[13:39] Kraft
    A pervert? That's awfully rude.
[13:43] Fern
    Let's go, Ms. Frieren.
[13:46] Kraft
    Wait. Are you an elf?
[13:55] Kraft
    It's been about 300 years since
    I've met another of my kind.
[13:58] Kraft
    I thought the elves had already died out.
[14:01] Frieren
    So did I.
[14:04] Kraft
    And thanks for the fire, miss.
[14:07] Fern
    Not at all.
[14:08] Kraft
    I'm lucky I ran into a couple of mages.
[14:12] Kraft
    The Goddess must have led you here.
[14:15] Kraft
    I crossed the Schwer Mountains,
    but this blizzard extinguished my coals.
[14:21] Kraft
    I was keeping myself alive by doing
    squats inside this freezing hut.
[14:25] Frieren
    I see.
[14:27] Fern
    I'm not sure I understand.
[14:29] Kraft
    I'm Kraft the Monk.
[14:32] Frieren
    Frieren the Mage.
[14:34] Fern
    Fern, also a mage.
[14:37] Fern
    This is Mr. Stark the Warrior.
[14:40] Kraft
    Anyway, Aureole, huh?
[14:42] Kraft
    You're traveling to heaven, then?
[14:45] Kraft
    Good on you for being so pious.
[14:48] Frieren
    I'm not sure I totally believe it.
[14:50] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[14:52] Fern
    Mr. Stark is getting colder.
[15:01] Stark
    So warm and comfortable...
[15:04] Stark
    And that's one huge jumbo-berry special.
[15:10] Stark
    What happened to me?
[15:15] Stark
    We got caught in a blizzard, and then...
[15:35] Stark
    Who is this guy?!
[15:38] Frieren
    You're so noisy.
[15:41] Kraft
    That's no way to thank someone
    for warming you up with their body.
[15:46] Stark
    Their body?
[15:50] Stark
    You've got a nice body, old man.
[15:53] Fern
    Mr. Stark?
[15:54] Stark
    No, not like that.
[15:57] Stark
    I mean he's got a nice body
    from training hard.
[16:01] Stark
    You must be really strong.
[16:04] Stark
    What's your name?
[16:06] Kraft
    Kraft the Monk.
[16:09] Stark
    I've never heard of you.
[16:12] Stark
    But you must be a pretty famous monk, right?
[16:17] Kraft
    Stark, rest here.
[16:20] Kraft
    You two, help me bring in food supplies.
[16:23] Kraft
    My wagon and cargo are nearby.
[16:29] Kraft
    I'm really glad I met all of you.
[16:32] Kraft
    We'll be able to use these frozen supplies.
[16:35] Kraft
    Use as much as you'd like.
[16:38] Fern
    You've certainly stocked up.
[16:40] Frieren
    Trying to cross the Schwer Mountains
    in these conditions would be suicide.
[16:44] Frieren
    We're stuck here for a while.
[16:48] Kraft
    By the way, Frieren, do you know who I am?
[16:53] Frieren
    Not at all.
[16:54] Kraft
    I didn't think so.
[16:56] Kraft
    I don't know the first thing
    about you, either.
[16:59] Fern
    She's the mage from the party of heroes.
[17:02] Kraft
    And before that?
[17:05] Frieren
    What do you mean?
[17:07] Kraft
    I mean that we're elves.
[17:59] Kraft
    It's been nearly six months.
[18:02] Kraft
    Thanks to all of you, we made it through
    the long winter in the northern lands.
[18:09] Kraft
    Take this.
[18:13] Kraft
    Give it to Fern. She's a pious girl.
[18:18] Kraft
    Must be because she was raised by a priest.
[18:22] Kraft
    She never forgets to thank the Goddess.
[18:25] Frieren
    Kraft, why do you believe in the Goddess?
[18:29] Kraft
    You don't, do you?
[18:33] Frieren
    Excluding during the age of mythology,
[18:37] Frieren
    the Goddess of Creation hasn't shown herself
    once in the long history of this world.
[18:44] Kraft
    You're young. I used to think that way, too.
[18:48] Kraft
    But now I believe in the Goddess
    from the bottom of my heart.
[18:53] Kraft
    No, I need her to exist.
[18:58] Kraft
    Everyone who knew of my
    righteous triumphs has died.
[19:05] Kraft
    So when I die, I'll go to heaven
    and the Goddess will praise me.
[19:11] Kraft
    She'll say, "Well done, Kraft."
[19:14] Kraft
    "You lived a fantastic life."
[19:21] Kraft
    You understand that, Frieren.
[19:24] Kraft
    It's too cruel for the path your life took
    to not be remembered by anyone.
[19:31] Kraft
    We've lived a long time to get to this point.
[19:38] Frieren
    Kraft, that's just something we desire.
[19:44] Kraft
    You're right.
[19:47] Kraft
    Does that apply to heaven too, Frieren?
[19:56] Kraft
    No matter.
[19:58] Kraft
    Tell me about yourself,
    and I'll tell you about myself.
[20:02] Kraft
    If you don't believe in the Goddess,
    then I'll praise you instead.
[20:12] (Flashback) Heiter
    Are you surprised?
[20:14] (Flashback) Frieren
    Yeah. I didn't think you'd fund the
    reconstruction of this village's orphanage.
[20:22] (Flashback) Heiter
    You don't beat around the bush, do you?
[20:24] (Flashback) Heiter
    I was an orphan, too.
[20:30] (Flashback) Heiter
    I'm sure the Goddess will praise me
    for living a pure and proper life.
[20:37] (Flashback) Frieren
    What are you talking about, you corrupt
    priest? You're drinking right now.
[20:42] (Flashback) Heiter
    Frieren.
[20:44] (Flashback) Heiter
    Do you have someone to praise you?
[20:48] (Flashback) Frieren
    Where did that come from?
[20:50] (Flashback) Heiter
    You don't seem to believe in the Goddess,
[20:55] (Flashback) Heiter
    so if you tell me about yourself,
    I'll praise you instead.
[21:00] (Flashback) Frieren
    I haven't done much with my life.
[21:03] (Flashback) Frieren
    I haven't done anything praiseworthy.
[21:06] (Flashback) Heiter
    Even though you're constantly
    suppressing your mana?
[21:10] (Flashback) Heiter
    To me, that seems like the
    result of tremendous effort.
[21:16] (Flashback) Heiter
    Something that would take
    a lifetime to accomplish.
[21:20] (Flashback) Frieren
    You noticed?
[21:22] (Flashback) Heiter
    How many years have we
    traveled together again?
[21:26] (Flashback) Frieren
    It's not an interesting story.
[21:28] (Flashback) Heiter
    I don't mind.
[21:30] (Flashback) Heiter
    Besides, it sounds like something
    useful to know for the future.
[21:33] (Flashback) Frieren
    Why?
[21:34] (Flashback) Heiter
    Perhaps a child of mine will become a mage.
[21:41] (Flashback) Frieren
    I thought priests couldn't marry.
[21:50] Frieren
    Why do so many strange
    people serve the Goddess?
[21:55] Frieren
    I'll pass. I've already had
    someone else praise me.
[22:02] Kraft
    I see. You have good friends, Frieren.
[22:06] Kraft
    You should cherish them.
[22:09] Frieren
    Actually, he's already...
[22:17] Frieren
    He's in heaven now.
[22:20] Kraft
    Then you'll see him again someday.
[22:23] Frieren
    You're right.
[22:27] Kraft
    I'm going this way.
[22:29] Kraft
    Frieren, I doubt this is
    the last time we'll meet.
[22:33] Kraft
    I'll see you in a few centuries.
[22:39] Stark
    Take care, old man! I had fun!
[22:43] Fern
    Thank you for the pendant!
[24:20] Stark Dad
    His pure white cape proves that he's
[24:20] Chief
    I'm a mild-mannered person,
    but even I'm pissed off.
[24:21] Stark

    the strongest warrior in the village.
[24:23] Heiter
    It's a replica.
[24:23] Eisen
    They're a gift to honor warriors
    who have worked hard.
[24:24] Fern

[24:25] Himmel
    We're not warriors.

    Don't tell the rest of the family.

SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Schwer Mountains, located in the northern lands
[01:47] Fern
    Ms. Frieren is falling asleep.
[01:51] Stark
    What?
[01:58] Fern
    She's asleep.
[02:00] Stark
    Oh, well. I'll carry her.
[02:03] Fern
    But Mr. Stark, your axe...
[02:05] Stark
    Oh, right.
[02:07] Stark
    My hands are free, though.
[02:19] Fern
    I'll carry her.
[02:20] Stark
    What? Why?
[02:22] Fern
    No reason.
[02:33] (Flashback) Eisen
    In the end, the king only
    gave us ten copper coins.
[02:38] (Flashback) Freiren
    What a cheapskate.
[02:39] (Flashback) Heiter
    I'm not surprised.
[02:41] (Flashback) Heiter
    Many heroes have tried and failed
    to defeat the Demon King until now.
[02:47] (Flashback) Himmel
    There's nothing wrong with
    earning money to cover expenses
[02:50] (Flashback) Himmel
    while working toward
    defeating the Demon King.
[02:54] (Flashback) Himmel
    It'll feel like an adventure.
[02:56] (Flashback) Heiter
    I suppose you're right.
[02:58] (Flashback) Frieren
    That's the Hero's Sword.
[03:01] (Flashback) Heiter
    It's a replica.
[03:04] (Flashback) Himmel
    Back in the day, a merchant who
    visited my town gave it to me
[03:07] (Flashback) Himmel
    for saving him from a monster.
[03:09] (Flashback) Himmel
    "For the future hero," he said.
[03:11] (Flashback) Himmel
    Just something you'd say to a kid.
[03:14] (Flashback) Frieren
    Is that why you became a hero?
[03:16] (Flashback) Himmel
    No.
[03:17] (Flashback) Himmel
    There was this annoying brat named
    Heiter at the village orphanage.
[03:21] (Flashback) Himmel
    He said I'd only ever become a fake hero
    because all I had was a fake sword.
[03:28] (Flashback) Himmel
    So I decided I'd prove him wrong
    by becoming a real hero.
[03:34] (Flashback) Himmel
    Someday, I'll acquire the real Hero's Sword
    and defeat the Demon King.
[03:41] (Flashback) Himmel
    But the passage of time is cruel.
[03:44] (Flashback) Himmel
    The brat who said that to me is now
    a fake priest who just drinks all the time.
[03:50] (Flashback) Heiter
    I'm a real priest.
[04:12] Freiren
    A dream...
[04:13] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you're finally awake.
[04:17] Frieren
    I feel like I've seen this sight before.
[04:21] Frieren
    I must still be dreaming.
[04:22] Stark
    If only you were.
[04:25] Frieren
    I underestimated the mountain weather.
[04:27] Frieren
    Keep going north. The village
    we're heading to is up ahead.
[04:31] Fern
    Very well.
[04:33] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, can you walk?
[04:37] Frieren
    No.
[04:38] Fern
    I see.
[04:41] Frieren
    You smell nice.
[04:44] Fern
    Sheesh.
[04:45] Stark
    You must be tired from carrying
    her this whole time, Fern.
[04:49] Stark
    I'll take her now.
[05:00] Fern
    Perv.
[05:04] Stark
    How am I a perv?
[05:08] Frieren
    The blizzard has mostly settled down.
[05:11] Frieren
    I thought we'd freeze to death.
[05:17] Stark
    There really is a village this
    deep in the mountains, huh?
[05:23] Chief
    We've been waiting for you, Ms. Frieren.
[05:27] Frieren
    You're the current village chief?
    You're so young.
[05:30] Chief
    Yes. I'm the 49th in a long line of chiefs.
[05:35] Chief
    Welcome to the Village of the Sword.
[05:40] Frieren
    There was a destroyed cabin
    outside the village.
[05:43] Chief
    It's an old hunting cabin.
[05:46] Chief
    The lord of the mountains destroyed it.
[05:48] Frieren
    The lord of the mountains?
    Has there always been one of those?
[05:52] Stark
    So this is the Village of the Sword.
[05:54] Fern
    You know of this place, Mr. Stark?
[05:57] Stark
    This village used to protect the Hero's Sword.
[06:01] Stark
    The Hero's Sword was said to have been
    placed in a sanctuary near this village.
[06:08] Stark
    Throughout history, many heroes tried to
    pull it from the stone, but it wouldn't budge.
[06:14] Stark
    Not until eighty years ago, anyway.
[06:19] Stark
    According to the legend, uh...
[06:22] Chief
    "The Hero's Sword can only
    be pulled from the stone
[06:24] Chief
    by the hero who will drive off the great
    calamity bent on destroying this world."
[06:28] Stark
    Yeah, that's it.
[06:30] Fern
    And it was Mr. Himmel who
    drew the sword from the stone?
[06:33] Stark
    That's right. I thought it was
    a pretty famous story.
[06:37] Stark
    You hadn't heard it before?
[06:39] Fern
    No. Mr. Heiter never mentioned it.
[06:44] Chief
    This is it.
[06:47] Frieren
    So warm.
[06:50] Chief
    Anyway, I'm disappointed, Ms. Frieren.
[06:53] Chief
    You were supposed to return
    half a century later.
[06:56] Chief
    I'm a mild-mannered person,
    but even I'm pissed off.
[07:01] Chief
    At least, that's what my grandmother said.
[07:05] Frieren
    I told her eighty years would be fine.
[07:09] Frieren
    The people of this village, who've protected
    the Hero's Sword for generations,
[07:13] Frieren
    can easily defend themselves.
[07:15] Chief
    That's true, but we still
    need you to fulfill your duty.
[07:21] Fern
    What duty?
[07:23] Frieren
    Monster extermination.
[07:24] Frieren
    Monsters regularly appear around this village.
[07:28] Chief
    The lord of the mountain has been especially
    unruly lately. It's been a real problem.
[07:34] Frieren
    Then I'll start tomorrow.
[07:37] Frieren
    Better to deal with this
    sooner rather than later.
[07:57] Stark
    This area is full of monsters,
    even though the village is nearby.
[08:00] Fern
    Why didn't you hire other
    adventurers to exterminate them?
[08:05] Chief
    I wish we could, but...
[08:08] Frieren
    It's because Himmel is the hero.
[08:11] Stark
    You weren't kidding.
    There sure are a lot of monsters.
[08:15] Stark
    They're gathered in front of that cave.
[08:37] Stark
    Frieren, is this—
[08:47] Chief
    It's the lord.
[08:52] Frieren
    I see.
[08:53] Frieren
    No wonder I didn't know who she meant.
     It's a new face.
[08:57] Frieren
    Only eighty years, and you
    consider yourself a lord?
[09:02] Frieren
    Stark, I know you can keep moving.
[09:11] Stark
    Can't you treat people better?!
[09:19] Frieren
    Nice work.
[09:30] Frieren
    Now I've fulfilled my duty.
[09:37] Stark
    Frieren, what's the meaning of this?
[09:41] Stark
    That's the Hero's Sword.
[09:45] Frieren
    It's what attracts all the monsters.
[09:48] Frieren
    A powerful barrier prevents them
    from entering the sanctuary,
[09:51] Frieren
    but even so, they can't suppress
    their impulse to destroy it.
[09:55] Frieren
    The Hero's Sword must truly terrify them.
[09:58] Stark
    That's not what I meant.
[10:00] Frieren
    Right.
[10:06] Frieren
    Himmel failed to pull
    the sword from the stone.
[10:11] (Flashback) Previous Chief
    So this hero wasn't the real one either.
[10:17] (Flashback) Heiter
    Himmel...
[10:19] (Flashback) Himmel
    There's nothing wrong
    with being a fake hero.
[10:24] (Flashback) Himmel
    I'll defeat the Demon King
    and bring peace to the world.
[10:29] (Flashback) Himmel
    Then it won't matter if I'm fake or not.
[10:37] Frieren
    Himmel lived up to those words.
[10:40] Frieren
    Even without that sword, he saved the world.
[10:43] Frieren
    He was a real hero.
[10:46] Fern
    Then why was the truth covered up?
[10:49] Frieren
    It was probably done by people who
    wanted to make Himmel a hero.
[10:54] Frieren
    No hero needs embarrassing
    stories told about them,
[10:56] Frieren
    like the time they failed to pull
    the Hero's Sword from its stone.
[11:01] Frieren
    Future generations always
    romanticize heroes,
[11:10] Frieren
    to the point that their original
    nature eventually disappears.
[11:31] Chief
    I always believed you
    could do it, Ms. Frieren.
[11:35] Chief
    I'm hella grateful.
[11:37] Chief
    My grandmother said that as well.
[11:39] Stark
    What's up with the words
    your grandma left you?
[11:42] Frieren
    Well, see you in another fifty years.
[11:47] Chief
    Don't be late next time.
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Appetit region, located in the northern lands
[11:59] Frieren
    Once we leave our belongings at the inn,
[12:01] Frieren
    everyone's free to do what
    they want for the evening.
[12:03] Stark
    We haven't been to a town in a while.
[12:04] Stark
    We can finally cut loose.
[12:07] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, what will you do?
[12:09] Fern
    Shall we look around the shops together?
[12:12] Frieren
    I'll pass.
[12:13] Frieren
    I'd like to relax here at the inn
    and read some grimoires.
[12:16] Fern
    I see. In that case, I'll go alone.
[12:19] Frieren
    Oh, right.
[12:21] Frieren
    Today is Stark's eighteenth birthday.
[12:26] Fern
    Why didn't you tell me that beforehand?
[12:30] Fern
    I didn't get him anything.
[12:33] Frieren
    You can buy something for him in town.
[12:36] Fern
    I don't know what Mr. Stark wants.
[12:41] Frieren
    You don't think things through, do you, Fern?
[12:43] Fern
    This is your fault, Ms. Frieren.
[12:47] Fern
    By the way, what are you giving him?
[12:59] Frieren
    I've got something special planned.
[13:05] Frieren
    A potion that only dissolves clothing.
[13:08] Frieren
    My master told me men enjoy
    receiving this kind of gift.
[13:20] Frieren
    What? Are you curious, Fern?
[13:27] Fern
    I told you to return this vulgar
    potion when you bought it.
[13:34] Fern
    I can't believe you, Ms. Frieren.
[13:38] Frieren
    That potion was pretty valuable, you know.
[13:42] Frieren
    What am I going to give him now?
[13:59] Frieren
    Oh, right.
[14:02] Frieren
    I have this.
[14:06] Fern
    I'll have to look into it myself.
[14:09] Fern
    He's bound to notice, though.
[14:14] Fern
    Mr. Stark.
[14:20] Fern
    Is he out?
[14:25] Woman
    A warrior carrying an axe?
[14:28] Woman
    He helped me push my cart.
[14:31] Woman
    I think he was headed toward the plaza.
[14:36] Boy
    He was playing with us until a moment ago.
[14:40] Child
    He helped us out of that tree.
[14:45] Old Man
    He stopped my rampaging cow.
[14:49] Fern
    He's been helping lots of people.
[14:53] Fern
    How could Ms. Frieren be so rude?
[14:55] Fern
    There's no way Mr. Stark would
    appreciate that dirty potion.
[15:18] Fern
    Mr. Stark.
[15:18] Stark
    Whoa!
[15:20] Stark
    That cloud looks like boobs.
[15:25] Fern/Id
    He's a perv after all.
[15:28] Stark
    For real? That one looks like a turd.
[15:32] Fern
    No, he's just a child.
[15:35] Stark
    I'll have to tell Fern about them later.
[15:37] Fern
    How am I supposed to respond to that?
[15:44] Fern
    Mr. Stark.
[15:47] Stark
    Fern, good timing. Those clouds...
[15:53] Stark
    Actually, sorry. It's nothing.
[15:58] Stark
    Uh, so...
[16:00] Fern
    Would you like to go for a walk?
[16:02] Stark
    Yes.
[16:05] Stark
    Hey, why are you mad? Did I do something?
[16:11] Fern
    How do I broach the subject?
[16:14] Stark
    Come on. I'll apologize, okay?
[16:17] Fern
    No matter how I ask,
    he'll know something's up.
[16:19] Fern
    Then I'll just come out and say it.
[16:23] Fern
    Mr. Stark, is there anything you want?
[16:27] Stark
    What for?
[16:29] Fern
    It's your birthday today.
[16:32] Stark
    Is that right?
[16:33] Stark
    What's that got to do with what I want?
[16:38] Fern
    I'd like to get you a birthday present.
[16:41] Stark
    What? You're gonna give me something?
[16:44] Fern
    Actually, never mind.
    You're kind of irritating.
[16:49] Stark
    Wait. I wasn't joking.
[16:53] Stark
    I've never received a birthday present before.
[17:01] Stark
    I never got one from my
    dead family or my master,
[17:06] Stark
    so I just thought that was how it was.
[17:08] Fern
    Not even from your family?
[17:11] Fern
    Was it not the custom there?
[17:13] Stark
    No, they probably just didn't
    care about me that much.
[17:19] Stark
    I'm originally from a village of warriors.
[17:22] Stark
    There was no place there for the weak.
[17:25] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    That was a pathetic display
    in front of that monster.
[17:28] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    Try to be more like Stoltz.
[17:30] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    Not only is he uninjured, but he doesn't
    have a speck of blood or dirt on him.
[17:37] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    His pure white cape proves he's
    the strongest warrior in the village.
[17:42] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    Stoltz, you're the pride of the village.
[17:44] (Flashback) Stoltz
    Of course, Dad.
[17:50] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    But by contrast, Stark is a failure.
[17:53] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    Despite training so hard every day,
    he still hasn't faced down a monster.
[18:03] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    It's starting to rain. Let's head home.
[18:06] (Flashback) Stoltz
    I'm going to train my
    foolish younger brother.
[18:08] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    Don't be too mean to him.
[18:10] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    I'm heading home. You're wasting your time.
[18:17] (Flashback) Stoltz
    Stark.
[18:23] (Flashback) Young Stark
    Brother.
[18:28] (Flashback) Young Stark
    Sorry.
[18:30] (Flashback) Stoltz
    Good focus.
[18:34] (Flashback) Stoltz
    I know you'll become stronger, but your
    stance could use some improvement.
[18:42] Stark
    Come to think of it, my brother
    might've been different.
[18:46] Stark
    But...
[18:56] Stark
    When my village was attacked by demons,
    I abandoned even my brother and fled.
[19:02] Stark
    Maybe I shouldn't be surprised my family
    never celebrated my birthday.
[19:06] Stark
    I was a failure who ran from everything.
[19:11] Stark
    I bet Himmel wouldn't have run.
[19:18] Fern
    Mr. Stark, let's go pick out a present.
[19:24] Fern
    The past doesn't matter.
[19:26] Fern
    The warrior Stark I've known has never run.
[19:32] Stark
    But I might in the future.
[19:35] Fern
    We won't let you.
[19:37] Stark
    But I—
[19:38] Fern
    If you won't choose, then I'm
    choosing something for you.
[19:44] Stark
    Fine.
[19:50] Stark
    I'd like this, then.
[19:51] Fern
    No. That's expensive.
[19:53] Stark
    Okay.
[20:03] Frieren
    Welcome back. You're late.
[20:06] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, what are those
    ridiculously large hamburg steaks?
[20:10] Stark
    What are you talking about?
[20:12] Stark
    This is how you celebrate a birthday.
[20:15] Stark
    My master never gave me any gifts,
[20:17] Stark
    but he did make me birthday hamburg steaks.
[20:21] Fern
    What do you mean?
[20:22] Frieren
    Stark, Eisen didn't tell you?
[20:26] Stark
    Tell me what?
[20:28] Frieren
    Warriors are so awkward.
[20:30] Fern
    You're one to talk, aren't you, Ms. Frieren?
[20:33] Frieren
    You're right. I understand
    because I'm awkward, too.
[20:36] Frieren
    It's foolish, isn't it?
[20:38] Frieren
    People won't know how you feel
    unless you tell them.
[20:42] Frieren
    This is...
[20:46] (Flashback) Frieren
    Come to think of it,
[20:47] (Flashback) Frieren
    you always make ridiculously large
    hamburg steaks on our birthdays.
[20:51] (Flashback) Frieren
    What's that about?
[20:53] (Flashback) Eisen
    It's a custom in my region.
[20:56] (Flashback) Eisen
    They're a gift to honor warriors
    who have worked hard.
[21:01] (Flashback) Eisen
    It's like a birthday present from me.
[21:04] (Flashback) Himmel
    But Eisen, we're not warriors.
[21:08] (Flashback) Eisen
    Everyone who works hard is a warrior.
[21:11] (Flashback) Frieren
    Really?
[21:12] (Flashback) Heiter
    Who can say?
[21:14] Stark
    Warriors who have worked hard...
[21:18] (Flashback) Young Stark
    Brother, what are you making?
[21:21] (Flashback) Stoltz
    Hamburg steak. It's your birthday, isn't it?
[21:25] (Flashback) Stoltz
    Don't tell the rest of the family.
[21:34] (Flashback) Stoltz
    Run, Stark.
[21:38] (Flashback) Stoltz
    You have to live.
[22:09] Frieren
    Eisen gave me the recipe.
[22:13] Frieren
    Is it good?
[22:23] Stark
    Yeah.
[22:29] Frieren
    I have some of this left over, too.
[22:32] Fern
    I'll pour it over your
    head again, Ms. Frieren.
[22:35] Stark
    Huh? What's that?
[22:37] Fern
    None of your business.
[22:39] Frieren
    A valuable potion.
[22:41] Stark
    What? What's it do?
[22:43] Fern
    Perv.
[22:44] Stark
    What? How am I a perv?
[22:45] Fern
    Perv.
[22:46] Stark
    Seriously, why?!
[24:20] Heiter
    Himmel!
[24:20] Stark
    My nose is starting to bleed.
[24:21] Eisen
    You're a wicked woman.
[24:21] Fern
    Alcohol is the best medicine.
[24:23] Himmel
    So what, Frieren?
[24:23] Frieren
    Too much time has passed.
    Time I can't get back now.
[24:24] Sein
    Grown-ups are dirty by nature.
[24:24] Seins Brother
    He also likes older women.
[24:27] Frieren
    It's an aversion to my own kind, I guess.

[00:01] Sein
    I see.
[00:03] Sein
    So you're an adventurer.
[00:07] Sein
    I wanted to be one a long time ago.
[00:13] Sein
    It was the kind of dumb
    childhood dream everyone has.
SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
SIGN    Episode 13: Aversion to One's Own Kind
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Alt Woods, located in the northern lands
[01:58] Sein
    When I was a kid,
[02:00] Sein
    I had a friend who I joined
    on lots of little adventures.
[02:05] Sein
    Foolhardy and with energy to spare,
    he was like a gorilla.
[02:10] Sein
    That said, he was a good gorilla
    who cared for his friends.
[02:16] Sein
    When I grew up and started
    to forget that dream,
[02:21] Sein
    he invited me to become
    an adventurer with him.
[02:27] Sein
    I wonder what would've changed
    if I'd taken his hand then.
[02:33] Sein
    That was ten years ago.
[02:36] Sein
    I still regret it.
[02:39] Frieren
    Huh.
[02:41] Frieren
    So why are you telling me this?
[02:44] Sein
    My village's harvest festival is coming up.
[02:48] Sein
    My brother asked me to go into the woods
    and pick wild herbs to use in cooking.
[02:53] Sein
    But then...
[02:56] Sein
    I got stuck in a bottomless swamp.
[02:59] Sein
    I'm done for.
[03:03] Sein
    But if you take my hand,
    then maybe my fate will change.
[03:10] Frieren
    Hold on. I'm thinking about it.
[03:15] Sein
    What is there to think about?
[03:18] Frieren
    Your hand is dirty.
[03:20] Sein
    This is really not the time
    to be worrying about that!
[03:25] Sein
    Besides, miss...
[03:27] Sein
    Grown-ups are dirty by nature.
[03:33] Frieren
    This might be my first time encountering
    a physically dirty adult.
[03:36] Frieren
    Can I have some more time?
[03:39] Frieren
    I'm trying to remember the spell to pull
    someone out of a bottomless swamp.
[03:42] Sein
    P-Please hurry.
[03:45] Frieren
    Let's see...
[03:47] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[03:49] Fern
    Did you find any herbs?
[03:51] Frieren
    Oh, I remember now.
[03:59] Sein
    This is far enough.
[04:01] Fern
    I'm sorry for the trouble
    Ms. Frieren caused you.
[04:04] Sein
    It's fine. She saved me.
[04:08] Fern
    I'll give her an earful later.
[04:12] Stark
    Not my problem.
[04:14] Sein
    Anyway, are you sure you don't
    need to stop by the village?
[04:17] Sein
    We're busy preparing for the harvest festival,
    but I can at least thank you.
[04:21] Frieren
    We're hoping to reach a large
    town today so we can resupply.
[04:27] Sein
    I see. In that case, be careful.
[04:30] Sein
    There are lots of dangerous
    venomous creatures around here.
[04:33] Frieren
    Okay.
[04:34] Stark
    Got it.
[04:45] Stark
    Something bit me.
[04:47] Fern
    What? You were bitten?
[04:49] Frieren
    He told us to be careful.
    What are you doing?
[04:53] Fern
    Let's stop the bleeding.
[04:55] Stark
    Huh?
[04:57] Stark
    My nose is starting to bleed.
[05:01] Frieren
    Identifying poison is a priest spell,
    so I'm not too good at it.
[05:06] Frieren
    I don't recognize this reaction,
    so the antidotes we have might not work.
[05:11] Frieren
    We should get you checked out at a church.
[05:14] Fireren
    Fern, how much longer can
    you use your flying magic?
[05:17] Fern
    It consumes a lot of mana,
    so only about thirty minutes.
[05:21] Frieren
    Thirty minutes won't get us to town.
[05:25] Frieren
    We'll head back to that village.
[05:27] Frieren
    I'll transport Stark.
[05:29] Stark
    It's not that big a deal.
[05:31] Stark
    I'm fine.
[05:33] Stark
    Besides, my master said
    you can tough out poisons.
[05:37] Frieren
    Come to think of it, Eisen was perfectly
    healthy even after taking several arrows
[05:41] Frieren
    that were coated with a poison
    strong enough to knock out a dragon.
[05:45] Frieren
    Heiter was appalled.
[05:48] Stark
    See?
[05:49] Fern
    That just goes to show that Mr. Eisen
    was far from normal.
[05:54] Fern
    Besides, according to Mr. Heiter,
    20% of adventurer deaths are due to poison.
[06:02] Fern
    We should hurry.
[06:04] Stark
    I'm fine, really.
[06:13] Seins Brother
    It's too late.
[06:15] Seins Brother
    In a few hours, his brain
    will begin to melt.
[06:18] Seins Brother
    It will flow out his nose,
[06:21] Seins Brother
    and then he'll die.
[06:22] Stark
    That's terrifying!
[06:24] Fern
    Isn't there anything we can do, Father?
[06:27] Seins Brother
    Normally, it can only be
    cured if it's treated early,
[06:32] Seins Brother
    but perhaps my brother could help.
[06:35] Sein
    Brother, do you have a minute?
[06:38] Sein
    Don't you think this new
    tub is kind of small?
[06:40] Seins Brother
    There's honor in poverty.
[06:42] Sein
    Isn't this going too far, though?
[06:44] Sein
    We're the only ones who impoverish
    ourselves down to a hand-sized tub.
[06:48] Seins Brother
    More importantly, Sein,
    take a look at this boy.
[06:53] Sein
    Huh? Brother, these are the
     ones I told you about.
[06:56] Sein
    They're the people who rescued me.
[07:00] Sein
    Did you get bitten by a snake?
[07:04] Sein
    I told you to be careful.
[07:11] Sein
    Now we're even.
[07:14] Sein
    Brother, I'm going to help out at the plaza.
[07:18] Seins Brother
    Sure.
[07:21] Stark
    My nose stopped bleeding.
[07:25] Fern
    The effects of the poison are gone.
[07:30] Frieren
    Father, is he...?
[07:33] Seins Brother
    What do you think of my younger brother?
[07:39] Frieren
    That holy symbol around your neck
[07:42] Frieren
    is awarded to the most outstanding priest
    in a region by the holy capital.
[07:47] Frieren
    He instantly cured a poison a
    healing expert called incurable.
[07:54] Frieren
    He's a genius.
[07:56] Seins Brother
    I'm not surprised you noticed, Ms. Frieren.
[07:59] Frieren
    You know who I am?
[08:02] Seins Brother
    Mr. Heiter told me about you.
[08:06] Seins Brother
    He gave me this holy symbol when he came
    here from the holy capital to observe us.
[08:13] Seins Brother
    That said, I'm a mere provincial priest.
[08:17] Seins Brother
    This is the only thing I can be proud of.
[08:21] Seins Brother
    But my ability doesn't compare to Sein's.
[08:26] Seins Brother
    Our parents passed away when we were young.
[08:31] Seins Brother
    Since then, I raised my much
    younger brother myself.
[08:36] Seins Brother
    As a child, he often said he wanted
    to become an adventurer.
[08:42] Seins Brother
    He didn't want to become
[08:43] Seins Brother
    an ordinary village priest like me
    who spent every day the same way.
[08:50] Seins Brother
    He said that with his eyes
    full of hopes and dreams.
[08:54] Seins Brother
    But now he's like I was when I was young.
[08:59] Seins Brother
    This life must bore him.
[09:03] Seins Brother
    Would you please take him
    away from this village?
[09:09] Seins Brother
    I'm certain he's been looking for someone
    to give him that last push.
[09:18] Stark
    I'm in, Frieren.
[09:20] Stark
    What's there to even think about?
[09:24] Stark
    I'm not risking my brains
    flowing out my nose again.
[09:28] Fern
    It's true that the journey ahead
    may be safer with a priest.
[09:34] Fern
    What do you not like about
    the idea, Ms. Frieren?
[09:38] Frieren
    It's an aversion to my own kind, I guess.
[09:42] Stark
    What is she talking about?
[09:44] Stark
    I'm inviting him to join us,
    even if you two don't want to.
[09:51] Frieren
    Where is he going?
[09:52] Fern
    Mr. Sein spends a lot of time
    at the bar downstairs.
[09:57] Frieren
    What?
[10:01] Stark
    Alcohol.
[10:03] Stark
    Tobacco.
[10:06] Stark
    Gambling.
[10:09] Stark
    That's a bit too corrupt, don't you think?
[10:12] Sein
    I'm getting to know the people.
    Care to join us?
[10:16] Stark
    It's Stark. We're looking for a priest.
[10:21] Stark
    Will you join us?
[10:24] Sein
    You must be joking.
    I'm this village's priest.
[10:28] Sein
    I can't go on adventures.
[10:32] Sein
    No, I suppose that could be fun.
[10:36] Sein
    Have a seat, Stark.
[10:38] Sein
    If you can beat me, I'll join your party.
[10:40] Stark
    Really?
[10:41] Sein
    Yes, really.
[10:46] Stark
    Please, no!
[10:50] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, I think I heard
    Mr. Stark scream downstairs.
[11:04] Fern
    Someone's taken all his belongings.
[11:06] Fern
    How awful. Who would do this?
[11:09] Sein
    No hard feelings.
[11:11] Fern
    What?
[11:12] Sein
    Grown-ups are dirty, after all.
[11:16] Fern
    Someone's taken all his belongings!
[11:18] Sein
    The village chief won the lot.
[11:21] Sein
    He's got the devil's own luck.
[11:23] Frieren
    Sein.
[11:25] Sein
    I heard you're looking for party members.
    Ask someone else.
[11:29] Frieren
    You want to become an adventurer, don't you?
[11:32] Sein
    That was a long time ago. It's too late now.
[11:37] Sein
    I should've gone after him sooner.
[11:41] Sein
    The only person sitting here
    is a loser in his underwear.
[11:48] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren, come defeat the Demon King with us.
[11:52] (Flashback) Frieren
    It's too late now.
[11:54] (Flashback) Frieren
    I haven't fought demons in over 500 years.
[11:58] (Flashback) Frieren
    I've forgotten how to fight them.
[12:02] (Flashback) Frieren
    I deferred the decision for too long.
[12:06] (Flashback) Frieren
    I was probably afraid to fight the Demon King.
[12:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    Too much time has passed.
    Time I can't get back now.
[12:14] (Flashback) Himmel
    So what, Frieren?
[12:17] Himmel
    I'm talking about the present.
[12:17] Frieren
    I'm talking about the present.
[12:29] Sein
    Ask someone else.
[12:31] Sein
    You don't know how I feel.
[12:34] Frieren
    I see. That told me everything I need to know.
[12:38] Frieren
    I don't like you, Sein.
[12:42] Sein
    I see. In that case...
[12:44] Frieren
    So I've decided you'll join us,
    no matter what.
[12:49] Sein
    What? Why?
[12:52] Sein
    That makes so little sense that it scares me.
[12:55] Stark
    Thanks. I feel warmer now.
[13:00] Fern
    I'm truly sorry for all the
    trouble we caused. Excuse us.
[13:07] Frieren
    How much did it cost to get everything back?
[13:09] Fern
    He said we should take our time and
    enjoy the harvest festival coming up,
[13:13] Fern
    and then he returned it all for free.
[13:15] Frieren
    Good thing they're nice people here.
[13:18] Fern
    He didn't know what to do with the axe.
[13:20] Stark
    That's kinda sad.
[13:22] Fern
    Mr. Stark, please put these on.
[13:25] Stark
    Do you have to hold them
    like they're filthy?
[13:29] Fern
    Mr. Sein, these are yours.
[13:35] Sein
    What did I do to upset her?
[13:38] Frieren
    She's mad you took all
    of Stark's belongings.
[13:43] Sein
    It wasn't me. It was the chief.
[13:47] Fern
    People who gamble are the worst.
[13:50] Stark
    I'm sorry, okay?
[13:52] Fern
    And Mr. Sein is supposed to be a priest.
[13:55] Frieren
    I'm not so sure about a priest who drinks.
[13:58] Fern
    Don't you know, Ms. Frieren?
[14:00] Fern
    Alcohol is the best medicine.
[14:03] Frieren
    What did you teach her, Heiter?
[14:07] Frieren
    Whether we recruit him or not,
    Sein should become an adventurer.
[14:13] Stark
    You've really come around to the idea.
[14:17] Frieren
    I thought it might be nice to give
    someone the push they need,
[14:22] Frieren
    like Himmel the Hero did for me.
[14:28] Sein
    Looks like the adventurers
    have decided to stay in town.
[14:40] Sein
    They've been trying
    to recruit me every day since.
[14:47] Sein
    All my efforts to make them stop
    have been in vain.
[14:52] Sein
    They invite me on adventures with hopes and
    dreams in their eyes, like he did back then.
[15:00] Gorilla
    I'm just going to travel around
    the northern lands a bit.
[15:04] (Flashback) Gorilla
    I'll be back in time for the harvest
    festival three years from now.
[15:07] (Flashback) Gorilla
    If you aren't ready now, you can come then.
[15:12] Gorilla
    Let's go on our next adventure together.
[15:16] Sein
    Every time they try to recruit me,
    I wonder, "Why now?"
[15:22] Sein
    They shine too brightly for these tired eyes.
[15:27] Seins Brother
    You want to know what Sein likes?
[15:30] Frieren
    We've been struggling to win him over,
    so we're looking for ideas.
[15:34] Seins Brother
    Well, he likes alcohol,
    tobacco, and gambling...
[15:39] Frieren
    We know those already.
[15:40] Stark
    Are you sure he's a priest?
[15:42] Fern
    It seems Mr. Heiter was a
    serious priest after all.
[15:47] Frieren
    What's a serious priest, anyway?
[15:50] Seins Brother
    He also likes older women.
[15:55] Stark
    He's a totally depraved priest.
[15:57] Frieren
    Older women, huh?
[16:00] Frieren
    Honestly, I don't know what
    to do with that information.
[16:05] Frieren
    What?
[16:08] Frieren
    Oh, right.
[16:10] Sein
    Brother, don't you think
    our new sickle is too small?
[16:14] Sein
    You can't even cut grass with...
[16:16] Sein
    Oh, it's you again.
[16:21] Stark
    Do you have a minute, Sein?
[16:22] Sein
    You're still here?
[16:23] Stark
    C'mon.
[16:24] Sein
    Don't make me say it again.
    Ask someone else.
[16:30] Stark
    Sein, wouldn't you like to
    travel with an older woman?
[16:35] Sein
    Are you stupid?
[16:37] Sein
    That's the whole reason I wanted
    to become an adventurer as a kid.
[16:42] Stark
    Talk about impure motives.
[16:43] Sein
    So, where is this older woman?
[16:48] Frieren
    Right here, Sein.
[16:50] Frieren
    I'm an elf. I'm far older than you are.
[16:57] Sein
    Come to think of it, I think
    my brother mentioned that.
[17:05] Sein
    But an older woman like that...
    is no older woman at all!
[17:09] Fern
    He seems really distressed.
[17:10] Frieren
    Then you leave me with no choice.
[17:13] Frieren
    I didn't want to do this...
[17:18] Frieren
    but the time has come to use the seduction
    technique my master taught me.
[17:24] Frieren
    Smooch.
[17:30] Sein
    What was that?
[17:33] Frieren
    I threw you a kiss.
[17:35] Frieren
    Maybe you're too young
    to appreciate it, sonny.
[17:38] Sein
    Won't somebody please take this child home?
[17:41] Stark
    That was way too sexy.
[17:43] Sein
    What's wrong with you two?
[17:44] Frieren
    That's odd. When I tried it on Himmel,
    it knocked him out cold.
[17:53] (Flashback) Heiter
    Himmel!
[17:55] (Flashback) Eisen
    You're a wicked woman.
[17:57] Frieren
    How strange.
[17:58] Fern
    I understand.
[18:00] Fern
    If I'd been the target,
    I would have been in danger.
[18:03] Stark
    As depraved as he is, he's still a holy man.
[18:05] Stark
    A formidable foe.
[18:07] Sein
    Enough already.
[18:09] Sein
    I'm not becoming an adventurer.
[18:12] Freiren
    I thought you wanted to go after your friend.
[18:16] Sein
    Brother, you must understand.
[18:19] Seins Brother
    Sein...
[18:21] Sein
    He said he'd be back in three years.
[18:25] Sein
    Well, it's been ten.
[18:28] Sein
    He's obviously dead.
[18:34] Frieren
    So you're giving up without going to see him?
[18:39] Frieren
    It's only been ten years.
[18:41] Frieren
    If you don't go see him now,
    you'll regret it in the near future.
[18:45] Frieren
    You'll wonder if you could've made it
    in time if you'd gone now.
[18:50] Sein
    It's too—
[18:51] Frieren
    You think it's too late, don't you?
[18:55] Frieren
    I'm talking about the present, Sein.
[19:05] Sein
    I can't go for the same reason
    I didn't follow him ten years ago.
[19:11] Sein
    I can't leave my brother
    behind in this village.
[19:17] Seins Brother
    What are you talking about, Sein?
[19:21] Sein
    I overheard the conversation
    you had with Mr. Heiter
[19:24] Sein
    when he came to observe us.
[19:27] (Flashback) Heiter
    With your talent, you could serve
    as a priest in the holy capital.
[19:33] (Flashback) Seins Brother
    Me, in the holy capital?
[19:35] (Flashback) Heiter
    Yes, undoubtedly.
[19:38] (Flashback) Seins Brother
    What would happen to my brother then?
[19:43] (Flashback) Heiter
    He'd come with you, of course.
[19:45] (Flashback) Seins Brother
    I see.
[19:48] (Flashback) Seins Brother
    Mr. Heiter, I appreciate the offer,
[19:52] (Flashback) Seins Brother
    but my life in this village is comfortable.
[19:57] (Flashback) Seins Brother
    My brother lost his parents
    when he was still young.
[20:01] (Flashback) Seins Brother
    As his older brother,
[20:03] (Flashback) Seins Brother
    I can't take his hometown from him, too.
[20:11] (Flashback) Heiter
    Very well.
[20:14] (Flashback) Heiter
    I understand.
[20:16] (Flashback) Heiter
    I suppose I wasted my time coming here.
[20:19] (Flashback) Heiter
    But since I'm already wasting time,
[20:22] (Flashback) Heiter
    perhaps I'll tell your brother
    all about my adventures.
[20:28] Sein
    My brother stayed in this village for me.
[20:34] Seins Brother
    Sein, is that what you thought?
[20:41] Seins Brother
    We're not the same!
[20:43] Seins Brother
    I've never regretted the choice I made!
[20:47] Seins Brother
    But what about you?
[20:50] Seins Brother
    How long do you intend
    to regret your choice?
[20:53] Seins Brother
    I've had enough.
[21:10] Sein
    I apologized to my brother.
[21:13] Frieren
    Okay.
[21:15] Sein
    Don't get the wrong idea.
    He's a kind brother.
[21:20] Sein
    He never once hit me before,
[21:23] Sein
    but I made him hit me this time.
[21:27] Sein
    I'd never seen him with
    that expression before.
[21:34] Sein
    Frieren, I've decided to
    become an adventurer.
[21:38] Sein
    I'm going after my friend.
[21:41] Sein
    It's only been ten years, after all.
[21:44] Frieren
    I see.
[21:51] Sein
    I'm doing this so I can look for him.
[21:55] Sein
    I'll find him and make my stupid
    childhood dream come true.
[22:01] Sein
    So I'm only traveling with you partway.
[22:07] Stark
    All right!
[22:08] Fern
    You did it.
[22:15] Children
    Bye!
[22:16] Children
    See you!
[22:17] Children
    Bye-bye!
[22:18] Children
    See you later!
[22:19] Children
    Later!
[22:25] Sein
    By the way, where are you guys headed?
[22:28] Frieren
    Heaven.
[22:30] Sein
    Is that someplace you need to seek out?
[22:33] Sein
    We all go there when we die.
[22:35] Fern
    Even you, Mr. Sein?
[22:38] Sein
    She really doesn't mince words, huh?
[22:42] Stark
    Good luck to us both.
[22:46] Sein
    Seriously, what's her deal?
[24:20] Frieren
    What do you mean by understanding relationships?
[24:20] Fern
    I don't like how accustomed you seem
    to the company of women.
[24:20] Stark
    I'm pretty sure that would kill me.
[24:22] Himmel
    Let's go shopping together later.
[24:23] Merchant
    We help each other when we're in need.
[24:24] Heiter
    It happens naturally as people age.
[24:24] Fern
    We're alive.
[24:25] Stark
    Do you really hate me that much?

SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Raad region, located in the northern lands
[00:07] Fern
    This place seems to have a lot of shops.
[00:09] Stark
    It'll be worth shopping around.
[00:15] (Flashback) Heiter
    This is a lively town.
[00:18] (Flashback) Heiter
    I see a lot of bars.
[00:20] (Flashback) Himmel
    Oh, right. Frieren, let's go
    shopping together later.
[00:25] (Flashback) Himmel
    This place seems to have
    a lot of nice shops.
[00:28] (Flashback) Frieren
    If you want.

SIGN    Episode 14: Privilege of the Young
[02:17] Stark
    You don't need to be so harsh!
[02:20] Stark
    You're always so rude to me!
[02:22] Stark
    Do you really hate me that much?
[02:24] Stark
    Forget it! I'm going back to my master!
[02:31] Stark
    Would it kill her to listen
    to me once in a while?
[02:36] Sein
    What's all the noise about?
[02:38] Sein
    Are the lovebirds fighting?
[02:41] Frieren
    It's Fern's birthday today,
    but Stark didn't get her a present.
[02:47] Frieren
    Fern is furious.
[02:48] Fern
    Hmph.
[02:51] Frieren
    Honestly, I think you were too harsh today.
[02:55] Frieren
    You never listen to anything Stark says.
[03:00] Sein
    I didn't get her anything either.
[03:03] Sein
    Men don't care about little things
    like birthdays and anniversaries.
[03:10] Sein
    Ow!
[03:11] Sein
    Okay, okay. I'll buy you something,
    so stop kicking me.
[03:14] Sein
    My knees are gonna be sore later.
[03:21] Sein
    I feel sorry for Stark.
[03:25] Sein
    I'm old enough to let most callousness go,
[03:29] Sein
    but girls can make the emotions
    of boys his age swing wildly.
[03:39] Sein
    I think you should go after him.
[03:47] Freiren
    Maybe you should go see him.
[04:21] Sein
    That's right. Her hair ornament has
     a butterfly on it, too.
[04:26] Fern
    That's a cute pouch.
[04:28] Sein
    You don't like it?
[04:29] Fern
    I don't like how accustomed you seem
     to the company of women.
[04:33] Sein
    I see.
[04:35] Sein
    Did you find Stark?
[04:38] Fern
    He was in the plaza.
[04:40] Sein
    But you couldn't talk to him, huh?
[04:45] Sein
    I get it. It's not that you don't like him.
[04:48] Sein
    You just don't know how to
    interact with boys your age.
[04:52] Sein
    Ah, to be young.
[04:54] Sein
    No matter. Choose whatever you want.
[04:57] Sein
    We can check out other stores, too.
[05:02] Fern
    No, it's fine.
[05:07] Sein
    Then I'll choose something for you.
[05:10] Sein
    Anyway, even if he forgot to get you
    a gift, I think you overreacted.
[05:14] Sein
    He's not that conscientious.
[05:17] Sein
    I doubt he even remembers his own birthday.
[05:20] Sein
    You shouldn't blame him.
[05:23] Fern
    I gave Mr. Stark a present on his birthday.
[05:26] Sein
    Really? Did you choose one with him?
[05:30] Fern
    How did you know?
[05:32] Sein
    Normally, no one declines when someone
    offers to buy them whatever they want.
[05:37] Sein
    You must consider it an important memory.
[05:41] Sein
    That's why you said no.
[05:43] Fern
    I don't know.
[05:45] Fern
    I just felt like it.
[05:49] Sein
    I see.
[05:51] Sein
    Then go apologize to Stark
    and pick out a gift with him.
[05:58] Sein
    He's just a kid. He's slow on the uptake.
[06:03] Sein
    You want to make up with him, don't you?
[06:06] Sein
    People won't know how you feel
    unless you tell them.
[06:13] Fern
    You're right.
[06:14] Sein
    I'm heading back to the inn.
[06:16] Fern
    Um...
[06:18] Fern
    I'm sorry for kicking you.
[06:37] Fern
    Mr. Stark.
[06:43] Stark
    Fern.
[06:50] Fern
    I—
[06:50] Stark
    Sorry!
[06:55] Stark
    I wanted to choose a gift with you,
    since I don't know what you like.
[07:02] Stark
    But I thought you'd get upset with me
    again if I said that, so I couldn't.
[07:10] Fern
    I wouldn't be upset with you.
[07:13] Fern
    Mr. Stark, I'm sorry. I was too harsh.
[07:20] Stark
    It's fine. I'm used to it.
[07:24] Fern
    I'm really sorry.
[07:29] Stark
    Let's go.
[07:32] Fern
    Okay.
[07:48] Sein
    You're spying on them?
[07:50] Sein
    That's in poor taste, Frieren.
[07:52] Frieren
    Same to you, Sein.
[07:55] Sein
    Looks like they made up.
[08:00] Sein
    You understand relationships better
    once you're older.
[08:04] Sein
    You start avoiding conflict then.
[08:09] Sein
    Those arguments are the
    privilege of the young.
[08:12] Sein
    That can't have been easy for you, Frieren.
[08:14] Sein
    Looking after two kids sounds tough.
[08:19] Frieren
    What do you mean by
    understanding relationships?
[08:21] Sein
    So it's three kids.
[08:26] Sein
    Fern asked me for advice instead of you.
[08:31] Sein
    I wonder who she's comparing me to.
[08:36] Freiren
    Fern was raised by Heiter.
[08:39] Sein
    She shouldn't be comparing me
    to such a great priest.
[08:44] Frieren
    I'd hardly call him great.
[08:46] Frieren
    He was a drunk and often hungover.
[08:49] (Flashback) Himmel
    Has he become an undead?
[08:51] Frieren
    He was picky with his food, too.
[08:53] (Flashback) Frieren
    Quit it.
[08:54] Frieren
    And he lied all the time.
[08:56] (Flashback) Heiter
    I haven't had anything to drink.
[08:58] Frieren
    He was just a corrupt priest.
[09:01] Freiren
    You're even more depraved, though.
[09:04] Sein
    Sorry about that.
[09:07] Sein
    I'm surprised, though.
[09:09] Sein
    The Mr. Heiter I remember was
    a kind and dependable old man.
[09:15] Sein
    Unlike me, he was an ideal grown-up.
[09:21] (Flashback) Frieren
    Heiter, you've changed.
[09:23] (Flashback) Frieren
    You've matured.
[09:26] (Flashback) Heiter
    What are you talking about? I'm an old man.
[09:30] (Flashback) Heiter
    It happens naturally as people age.
[09:34] (Flashback) Frieren
    Huh.
[09:35] (Flashback) Heiter
    I wish I could say that, anyway,
[09:38] (Flashback) Heiter
    but the truth is, my mind has
    hardly changed since I was a child.
[09:43] (Flashback) Heiter
    I've simply been pretending to be an adult
    until I can make it as an ideal grown-up.
[09:51] (Flashback) Heiter
    I'll probably keep pretending
    until the day I die.
[09:56] (Flashback) Heiter
    Children need grown-ups
    for emotional support.
[10:02] (Flashback) Heiter
    Fern in particular is the hardworking sort.
[10:05] (Flashback) Heiter
    She needs lots of praise and guidance.
[10:09] (Flashback) Frieren
    Then who will praise you for
    pretending until the day you die?
[10:15] (Flashback) Heiter
    That's what the Goddess is for,
[10:20] (Flashback) Heiter
    though I'll have to wait until I go
    to heaven to receive my reward.
[10:23] (Flashback) Frieren
    Then I'll praise you down here.
[10:27] (Flashback) Heiter
    You will?
[10:29] (Flashback) Heiter
    But I'm a human. I doubt you
    understand how I feel.
[10:35] (Flashback) Heiter
    How do you intend to praise me?
[10:48] (Flashback) Heiter
    That was better than I expected.
[10:52] (Flashback) Heiter
    Frieren, once I go to heaven,
    I'll speak with the Goddess for you.
[10:58] (Flashback) Heiter
    You should be praised by her.
[11:03] (Flashback) Frieren
    Oh? Then I'll look forward to it.
[11:12] Sein
    What do you think you're doing, Frieren?
[11:14] Frieren
    I think you're a proper adult, Sein.
[11:23] Sein
    I would've loved to have
    an older woman do this.
[11:27] Frieren
    You should be glad, then.
[11:29] Frieren
    Few women are older than me.
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Bande Woods, located in the northern lands
[11:41] Frieren
    Thank you.
[11:42] Frieren
    There weren't any passenger carriages
     around here, so we appreciate it.
[11:46] Merchant
    We help each other when we're in need.
[11:48] Merchant
    I'm actually a merchant in the town up ahead.
[11:52] Merchant
    I run an accessory shop there.
[11:55] Merchant
    Are you interested?
[11:57] Frieren
    You're a good salesman.
[11:59] Frieren
    I'm not too interested, but Fern
    likes that kind of thing. Don't you?
[12:04] Frieren
    Huh?
[12:06] Frieren
    Did you buy a new bracelet?
[12:09] Fern
    Um, this is...
[12:13] Frieren
    That's a cute design.
[12:15] Frieren
    I have a ring with the same design.
[12:18] Freiren
    Himmel gave it to me.
[12:21] Frieren
    It probably matches yours.
[12:23] Fern
    Really?
[12:24] Frieren
    Now where did I put it?
[12:29] Frieren
    Huh?
[12:33] Fern
    You're so disorganized.
[12:37] Frieren
    Found it.
[12:51] Freiren
    Sorry. I let my guard down.
[12:55] Freiren
    Avian monsters are cunning
    and skilled at concealing their mana.
[13:00] Freiren
    What are we going to do?
[13:03] Stark
    Can't we figure something out with flying
    magic after defeating the monster?
[13:09] Stark
    You can make a carriage levitate, right?
[13:12] Frieren
    Stark, have you ever seen a flying carriage?
[13:15] Stark
    We're in one right now.
[13:17] Frieren
    This may surprise you, but it's only been
    forty years since humankind learned to fly.
[13:25] Frieren
    Until then, the skies were the
    exclusive domain of demons and monsters.
[13:29] Frieren
    The flying magic we use is
    a repurposed demon spell.
[13:35] Stark
    Spare me the details and
    dumb it down for me.
[13:40] Frieren
    It means we can't adapt it
    because we copied their technique
[13:42] Frieren
    without understanding
    the principles behind it.
[13:45] Frieren
    Things larger than humans
    can only be made to fly briefly.
[13:49] Stark
    I see.
[13:50] Frieren
    We'll have to get out.
[13:53] Frieren
    I'll fly out with the merchant.
[13:55] Frieren
    Fern, could you take Sein?
[13:57] Fern
    Understood.
[13:58] Merchant
    I'll get my cargo together.
[14:01] Stark
    What about me?
[14:03] Frieren
    You can jump down.
[14:05] Stark
    What are you talking about?
[14:06] Stark
    I'm pretty sure that would kill me.
[14:08] Frieren
    You're a warrior. A fall from
    this height won't kill you.
[14:11] Stark
    Of course it would kill me!
[14:13] Stark
    Don't act like you don't understand that!
[14:15] Frieren
    That's odd.
[14:17] Frieren
    Eisen was never injured by
    a free fall from any height.
[14:29] (Flashback) Heiter
    What is wrong with him?
[14:31] Frieren
    Heiter was appalled.
[14:33] Fern
    That just goes to show that Mr. Eisen
    was far from normal.
[14:38] Fern
    What about levitating the carriage
    just before it hits the ground?
[14:43] Frieren
    I'll need to calculate
    if I can stop a free fall.
[14:47] Frieren
    If I don't reduce the force sufficiently,
    we'll be ground into minced meat.
[14:51] Stark
    That sounds horrifying!
[14:54] Sein
    Either way, we should probably hurry.
[14:57] Sein
    This type of monster hunts by
    slamming its prey into the ground.
[15:03] Frieren
    I see.
[15:16] Frieren
    Well, it's worth a shot.
[15:20] Stark
    Don't just drop us!
[15:35] Fern
    W-We're alive.
[15:37] Frieren
    It seems like the plan was a success.
[15:40] Stark
    You call that a success?
[15:41] Sein
    You call that a plan?
[15:46] Sein
    The horse is only slightly injured.
    I've finished treating it.
[15:50] Sein
    But the carriage is a wreck.
    It needs repairs.
[15:53] Frieren
    Sorry.
[15:54] Merchant
    No, thank you.
[15:56] Merchant
    If it'd just been me, I'd be dead.
[15:59] Stark
    It'll take a while to fix the carriage.
[16:16] Freiren
    Huh?
[16:18] Frieren
    That's odd.
[16:20] Frieren
    Where did it go?
[16:25] Stark
    It's gotten warmer lately.
[16:28] Fern
    Should we start dressing lighter?
[16:30] Sein
    By the way, Fern, that bracelet...
[16:34] Fern
    It was a birthday present from Mr. Stark.
[16:38] Stark
    I spent three hours choosing a gift.
[16:41] Sein
    You ended up choosing it?
[16:43] Fern
    I asked him to choose what he wanted.
[16:46] Sein
    Oh, I see.
[16:49] Sein
    That must've been difficult, Stark.
[16:51] Sein
    Her type is the hardest to deal with.
[16:54] Stark
    Yeah.
[16:56] Stark
    Will she like this?
[16:59] Stark
    I spent three hours gauging her reactions.
[17:02] Stark
    I felt like I was dying.
[17:04] Sein
    Poor kid.
[17:07] Fern
    I can hear everything they're saying.
[17:09] Stark
    But...
[17:11] Stark
    I'm glad I did, since she likes it.
[17:19] Sein
    Anyway, good going, Stark.
[17:21] Sein
    I didn't think you knew what you were doing.
[17:25] Sein
    That design is of a mirrored lotus.
[17:27] Sein
    In the language of flowers,
    it means "eternal love."
[17:29] Sein
    In this area, people give them
    to their lovers.
[17:34] Fern
    Mr. Stark?
[17:36] Stark
    I-I didn't know!
[17:38] Stark
    This is all a misunderstanding.
[17:39] Stark
    You think I know the language of flowers?
[17:41] Fern
    That's fair enough. You're an idiot, after all.
[17:44] Stark
    You're being even harsher than usual!
[17:47] Stark
    It's not like you knew either.
[17:49] Fern
    Did you say something?
[17:51] Stark
    It's nothing.
[17:54] Stark
    Should I buy you a replacement?
[17:57] Fern
    You put a lot of effort into
    choosing this gift for me.
[18:02] Fern
    Don't ever say that again.
[18:05] Stark
    Sorry.
[18:12] Fern
    What is it?
[18:15] Sein
    Nothing.
[19:21] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[19:24] Fern
    We've finished repairing the carriage.
[19:26] Fern
    We'll depart early tomorrow morning.
[19:29] Frieren
    I see.
[19:30] Fern
    You've been slipping out every night.
[19:33] Fern
    What are you looking for?
[19:35] Frieren
    The ring Himmel gave me.
[19:38] Fern
    I'll help.
[19:40] Fern
    We'll wait to depart until we've found it.
[19:43] Frieren
    No.
[19:45] Frieren
    If I don't find it tonight,
    I'll give up on it.
[19:48] Frieren
    I'm used to losing things.
[19:50] Frieren
    Besides, that's not the
    only thing Himmel gave me.
[19:54] Fern
    Wasn't it a mirrored-lotus
    design ring like this one?
[19:58] Fern
    In the language of flowers,
    it means "eternal love."
[20:01] Frieren
    Does it? I didn't know.
[20:04] Frieren
    It doesn't matter. I doubt Himmel
    knew what it meant either.
[20:09] Fern
    Regardless, I'm sure it's important.
[20:13] Fern
    Let's look for it together.
[20:18] Merchant
    You should've told me.
[20:21] Merchant
    A few people in my village have
    lost accessories over the years.
[20:26] Merchant
    I intended to give you this spell
    for finding lost accessories
[20:30] Merchant
    as a reward for your assistance.
[20:55] Himmel
    Frieren.
[20:57] (Flashback) Himmel
    You worked really hard on
    that last monster-hunting job.
[21:01] (Flashback) Himmel
    Choose whatever you'd like.
[21:03] (Flashback) Frieren
    An accessory, huh?
[21:06] (Flashback) Frieren
    I would've preferred
    something from a magic shop.
[21:09] (Flashback) Frieren
    This one will do.
[21:10] (Flashback) Himmel
    That was quick. Put more thought into it.
[21:16] (Flashback) Frieren
    What's wrong?
[21:19] (Flashback) Himmel
    Nothing.
[21:41] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren.
[21:43] (Flashback) Frieren
    Thank you.
[22:22] Fern
    Aren't you glad you didn't
    give up, Ms. Frieren?
[22:33] Frieren
    Maybe.
[22:38] Frieren
    By the way, why are you wearing
    a mirrored-lotus bracelet?
[22:42] Fern
    Because Mr. Stark is an idiot.
[22:46] Stark
    How could you say that?
[24:20] Sein
    I have battle magic, too.
[24:20] Fern
    I feel anxious.
[24:21] Orden
    He doesn't have his brother's talent.
[24:22] Mut
    Yes, Father.
[24:22] Frieren
    This is starting to look bad.
[24:23] Sein
    In any case, it looks like we should hurry.
[24:24] Stark
    It's hell.
[24:26] Frieren
    This smells like trouble.

SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
SIGN    Episode 15: Smells Like Trouble
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Laub Hills, located in the northern lands
[01:48] Sein
    How long have you been traveling together?
[01:52] Frieren
    Um...
[01:54] Fern
    I first embarked on my journey with
    Ms. Frieren about four years ago.
[01:59] Stark
    It's been about a year for me.
[02:04] Sein
    I see.
[02:10] Sein
    There's something this party lacks.
[02:14] Sein
    What do you think that is?
[02:17] Frieren
    We've got a front-liner, mages, and a priest.
[02:21] Fern
    A thief, perhaps?
[02:23] Fern
    Since Ms. Frieren is always
    falling for mimics.
[02:26] (Flashback) Freiren
    Aw, yeah.
[02:28] (Flashback) Fern
    Oh, come on.
[02:30] Frieren
    Treasure chests contain unlimited potential.
[02:34] Sein
    No.
[02:36] Sein
    What we lack is something
    even more important.
[02:39] Sein
    An older lady!
[02:41] Sein
    Most parties have at least
    one sexy older lady!
[02:47] Frieren
    Do they?
[02:49] Stark
    But we've got Frieren.
[02:52] Sein
    No. She's not an older lady.
[02:55] Fern
    He looks so distraught.
[02:56] Frieren
    Sorry about that.
[02:59] Stark
    H-Hey, the next village is coming into view.
[03:19] Fern
    They're breathing.
[03:21] Sein
    Same over here.
[03:24] Stark
    What's going on here? Everyone's asleep.
[03:29] Frieren
    This smells like trouble.
[03:32] Frieren
    Let's head to the next village.
[03:33] Fern
    Don't make me angry, Ms. Frieren.
[03:36] Frieren
    I'm just kidding.
[03:39] Sein
    It's a curse.
[03:40] Frieren
    I thought so. What a hassle.
[03:44] Stark
    Hey, Frieren. What are curses?
[03:47] Frieren
    Among the spells cast by monsters and demons
[03:51] Frieren
    are those that put people to sleep
    or turn them to stone.
[03:55] Frieren
    Those which humankind has yet
    to unravel are known as curses.
[04:02] Frieren
    Humanity's magic can't explain the principles
    behind them or how to remove them.
[04:07] Stark
    Does that mean it's too late for this village?
[04:10] Frieren
    I'm only talking about humanity's magic.
[04:14] Frieren
    The magic of the Goddess,
    which priests use, is a different story.
[04:18] Frieren
    Tackling curses has long been
    the business of the clergy.
[04:23] Frieren
    Well, Sein? Think you can help them?
[04:26] Sein
    Don't rush me.
[04:28] Sein
    I'm currently determining the
    type and source of the curse.
[04:34] Stark
    How is the magic of the Goddess
    different from other magic?
[04:38] Frieren
    The magic of the Goddess
    is recorded in holy scriptures
[04:42] Frieren
    and can only be used by
    the owners of said scriptures.
[04:45] Frieren
    Like the demons' magic, we don't understand
    the principles behind most of it,
[04:50] Frieren
    so it's not very interesting.
[04:54] Frieren
    And it's difficult to use unless you're born
    with the specific knack for it,
[05:00] Frieren
    which also bestows an
    increased resistance to curses.
[05:04] Frieren
    I believe they call it
    "the blessing of the Goddess."
[05:08] Frieren
    Anyway, that's why priests
    are strong against curses.
[05:12] Stark
    So not even you can effectively
    defend against curses?
[05:16] Frieren
    Mages can't detect curses.
[05:20] Frieren
    I can sense I'm being attacked in some way,
[05:22] Frieren
    so I know this village is still under
    the effects of the curse.
[05:27] Fern
    I feel anxious.
[05:28] Stark
    Does that mean we're actively
    being cursed? I'm scared!
[05:34] Sein
    I've determined that it's
    a rather unusual curse.
[05:38] Frieren
    You can't remove it?
[05:40] Sein
    I'd need tools to conduct
    a specialized ritual.
[05:43] Sein
    It'd be faster to defeat
    the source of the curse.
[05:47] Sein
    It's coming from a monster.
    I've determined its location.
[05:50] Sein
    Let's go.
[05:52] Frieren
    That'll save time.
[05:57] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[05:59] Fern
    It's Mr. Stark.
[06:04] Frieren
    He's asleep.
[06:06] Frieren
    Can you wake him temporarily?
[06:09] Sein
    With my current abilities, five seconds
    is the longest I can keep him awake.
[06:14] Fern
    That's practically nothing.
[06:16] Sein
    In any case, it looks like we should hurry.
[06:41] Frieren
    Fern won't wake up.
[06:43] Frieren
    She said she was just taking a little break.
[06:46] Sein
    So Fern has fallen asleep, too.
[06:48] Frieren
    This is starting to look bad.
[06:53] Frieren
    I put up a barrier.
[06:55] Frieren
    We'll hide them in here.
[07:01] Sein
    We're almost there. I can tell it's close.
[07:05] Frieren
    I see.
[07:06] Frieren
    Sein, wake me when the monster shows up.
[07:11] Frieren
    Don't fight it alone.
[07:14] Frieren
    I promise I'll defeat it.
[07:16] Sein
    I told you, five seconds
    is the longest I can...
[07:21] Sein
    Frieren?
[07:24] Sein
    We can't do anything with five seconds.
[07:34] Sein
    Fine.
[07:36] Sein
    I have battle magic, too.
[07:57] Sein
    It's a subspecies of chaos flower.
[07:59] Sein
    It must be feeding off
    the sleeping villagers.
[08:04] Sein
    It'll sap away their mana
    until it eventually kills them.
[08:12] Sein
    Chaos flowers merge with the
    local flora to create subspecies.
[08:19] Sein
    It's like a mirror.
[08:21] Sein
    But no matter what they look like,
    their weakness is always their core.
[08:29] Sein
    Three Spears of the Goddess!
[08:40] Sein
    What happened?
[08:42] Sein
    Did it reflect my magic?
[08:46] Sein
    Unless I score a direct hit on the core,
[08:49] Sein
    the leaves could deflect
    my spells in any direction.
[08:54] Sein
    If I'm not careful, it could hit Frieren.
[08:58] Sein
    Damn it. This can only get worse.
[09:01] Sein
    Should I wake Frieren?
[09:03] Sein
    But she's the mage from the party of heroes.
[09:06] Sein
    If a powerful spell were deflected,
[09:08] Sein
    it could destroy not just the forest,
    but the village, too.
[09:13] Sein
    It's just five seconds.
[09:15] Sein
    That's not enough time to explain.
[09:16] Sein
    And Frieren and I haven't had the time
    to establish a mutual understanding
[09:20] Sein
    or learn to trust each other.
[09:22] Sein
    I don't even know what Frieren's thinking.
[09:28] Heiter
    That's right.
[09:30] (Flashback) Heiter
    I never know what she's thinking.
[09:34] (Flashback) Heiter
    I don't believe adventurers require
    mutual understanding or trust.
[09:41] (Flashback) Heiter
    My companion Frieren was
    especially terrible at both.
[09:48] (Flashback) Heiter
    So I decided to trust her words.
[09:54] (Flashback) Heiter
    She swore she would defeat the Demon King,
[09:58] (Flashback) Heiter
    and I chose to believe her.
[10:02] Sein
    Trust her words, huh?
[10:11] (Flashback) Frieren
    Don't fight it alone.
[10:13] (Flashback) Frieren
    I promise I'll defeat it.
[10:17] Sein
    She looked like a mess.
[10:20] Sein
    Don't blame me for whatever happens!
[10:23] Sein
    Awakening spell!
[10:28] Sein
    Frieren, only the core—
[10:51] Frieren
    Got it.
[11:05] Stark
    What's going on here?
[11:10] Lady
    Thank you.
[11:12] Lady
    I won't forget this.
[11:14] Sein
    We didn't do much.
[11:18] Lady
    No.
[11:20] Lady
    I've never been happier to be
    awakened, thanks to you.
[11:28] Frieren
    The moment I woke up, I knew that it
    was the kind that reflects magic.
[11:34] Sein
    You really are an incredible mage.
[11:37] Frieren
    But we made it out alive
    because of you, Sein.
[11:42] Frieren
    Thanks.
[11:49] Frieren
    Good boy.
[11:57] Sein
    That lady from the village sure was pretty.
[12:00] Stark
    You're still saying that?
[12:03] Stark
    That's Vorig?
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    at the fortress city of Vorig, located in the northern lands
[12:06] Frieren
    It's the relay point to Äußerst.
[12:10] Fern
    We're finally halfway there?
[12:12] Fern
    This really is a long journey.
[12:15] Frieren
    We'll resupply in Vorig, and—
[12:18] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, this is awkward,
    but we're nearly out of funds.
[12:24] Orden
    Hey, you.
[12:25] Sein
    What is it?
[12:29] Stark
    That's a noble's carriage.
[12:32] Stark
    Huh?
[12:34] Stark
    What? What's going on?
[12:37] Orden
    You've got a nice body.
    Your appearance isn't too bad either.
[12:40] Orden
    Come to my mansion.
[12:43] Stark
    What's going on?!
[12:52] Orden
    What's your name?
[12:54] Stark
    Stark.
[12:56] Frieren
    Lord Orden, you can't do this.
[12:59] Orden
    You know who I am?
[13:01] Frieren
    This is the mansion of the Orden family,
[13:04] Frieren
    one of the Three Great Families
    of the northern lands.
[13:06] Frieren
    Your grandfather was a high-handed man, too.
[13:09] Orden
    What is this nonsense?
[13:12] Orden
    Either way, I'm having a conversation
    with Stark right now.
[13:16] Frieren
    He's my party's front-liner.
[13:20] Orden
    Stark, do you need your mommy's
    permission to have a conversation?
[13:25] Stark
    Please don't fight.
[13:27] Orden
    I have a request. I'll pay you.
[13:30] Frieren
    This is ridiculous. We're leaving, Stark.
[13:33] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[13:39] Frieren
    What are those copper coins?
[13:41] Sein
    They're all the funds we have left.
[13:45] Frieren
    I guess we can at least hear you out.
[13:48] Stark
    Frieren...
[13:53] Orden
    Stark, where are you from?
[13:57] Stark
    A warrior village in the Klee region
    of the central lands.
[14:00] Orden
    I see. My family line is originally
    from that village, too.
[14:10] Orden
    My eldest son, Wirt.
[14:12] Orden
    My heir and hero of this city.
[14:16] Fern
    He looks like you, Mr. Stark.
[14:19] Orden
    You're practically identical.
[14:21] Orden
    If we got you cleaned up,
[14:23] Orden
    only someone from within the family
    would be able to tell the difference.
[14:26] Frieren
    What does that have to do with your request?
[14:30] Orden
    A month ago, we fought a
    large battle against demons.
[14:35] Orden
    Wirt died in action.
[14:37] Orden
    He and the enemy commander
    killed each other.
[14:41] Orden
    The silver lining was that
    it was a large-scale melee.
[14:47] Orden
    The only ones who know of Wirt's death
    are Gabel over there
[14:51] Orden
    and a few of my most trusted men.
[14:56] Frieren
    What are you planning to make Stark do?
[15:02] Orden
    The fortress city of Vorig is key
    to this region's defense.
[15:07] Orden
    We can't allow morale to fall while
    we're rebuilding the forces we lost.
[15:12] Sein
    So you want to cover up
    your son's death until then.
[15:16] Orden
    Three months from now, this region's
    influential figures will meet at a soirée.
[15:21] Orden
    We'll show them that Wirt is alive and well.
[15:25] Frieren
    How much will you pay us?
[15:26] Orden
    Ten Strahl gold coins.
[15:29] Fern
    That's three meals a day
    plus snacks for a year.
[15:32] Frieren
    Throw in a grimoire.
[15:34] Orden
    You can take one of your
    choosing from the library.
[15:36] Stark
    Hold on. I can't do this.
[15:39] Stark
    What am I gonna do about
    this scar on my forehead?
[15:41] Orden
    The people already believe
    Wirt is recuperating.
[15:46] Orden
    That's an honorable battle scar.
[15:51] Fern
    Mr. Stark, we need the money.
[15:54] Stark
    This is sad.
[15:56] Orden
    Gabel, teach Stark proper etiquette.
[16:26] Fern
    Mr. Stark, how is your etiquette
    training coming along?
[16:29] Stark
    It's hell.
[16:39] Stark
    What do you think?
[16:42] Fern
    It doesn't suit you.
[16:43] Stark
    That's not nice.
[16:45] Stark
    I'm gonna get some fresh air.
[16:56] Stark
    Lord Orden.
[16:59] Orden
    Aren't I always telling you
    to call me "Father"?
[17:02] Orden
    You never know when someone
    might be watching.
[17:05] Stark
    Aren't you being too cold?
[17:08] Stark
    It's been less than two months
    since your son died.
[17:11] Orden
    I'm simply following my son's final wishes.
[17:15] Orden
    I even had a double prepared.
[17:18] Orden
    He didn't look as much like him
    as you do, though.
[17:22] Orden
    I can't say I enjoy this.
[17:28] Orden
    But it's what my son wanted.
[17:32] Orden
    I'll need your cooperation.
[17:36] Stark
    You're so awkward.
[17:43] Orden
    Mut, stand up taller.
[17:46] Mut
    Yes, Father.
[17:49] Orden
    My second son, Mut.
[17:51] Orden
    He's to be my heir, but he
    shows little improvement.
[17:55] (Flashback) Stark Dad
    But by contrast, Stark is a failure.
[18:03] Orden
    Skill with a sword affects one's posture.
[18:06] Orden
    I'll teach you the Orden family technique.
[18:14] Orden
    What's wrong?
[18:21] Orden
    It's all right. Take deep breaths.
[18:25] Orden
    This isn't your village.
[18:31] Stark
    Lord Orden, what do you think of Mut?
[18:34] Orden
    He doesn't have his brother's talent.
[18:38] Orden
    But he's a hard worker.
[18:40] Orden
    What he's worked to build up
    won't let him down.
[18:44] Orden
    Someday he'll become
    a stronger knight than me.
[18:48] Stark
    I see.
[18:50] Stark
    You should tell that to Mut.
[18:53] Orden
    I do.
[18:55] Orden
    But it's gone to his head,
    so he doesn't improve.
[18:59] Stark
    Now that's a problem.
[19:02] Fern
    What?
[19:04] Fern
    I have to learn etiquette, too?
[19:06] Orden
    It's a soirée.
[19:08] Orden
    You expect a young man to attend it alone?
[19:14] Orden
    Or will his mommy escort him instead?
[19:18] Frieren
    Good luck.
[19:53] Fern
    This past month has been hell.
[19:57] Stark
    We need the money, right?
[20:00] Fern
    I'm sorry.
[20:11] Stark
    We practiced. We might as well dance.
[20:16] Fern
    That really doesn't suit you.
[21:28] Sein
    Shall we dance as well?
[21:31] Frieren
    I'm going to eat cake.
[21:34] Sein
    I see.
[21:40] Orden
    If not for this injury,
    I would've been in the vanguard.
[21:46] Orden
    Perhaps then, Wirt wouldn't have died.
[21:49] Gabel
    Milord...
[21:54] Orden
    Looks like the soirée is over.
[21:59] Orden
    You've completed the job.
[22:01] Orden
    Gabel, give Frieren her reward.
[22:13] Orden
    Stark, you're an incredibly
    powerful warrior.
[22:18] Orden
    If you'd like—
[22:20] Stark
    I can't replace your son.
[22:24] Orden
    You're right.
[22:26] Orden
    And I can't replace your father.
[22:30] Orden
    But you don't have a home to return to.
[22:33] Orden
    The warrior village of the Klee region
    was destroyed by demons.
[22:36] Orden
    I know that much.
[22:40] Orden
    My son and I parted in anger.
[22:43] Orden
    We got into an argument
    over something trivial.
[22:46] Orden
    I told him I never wanted
    to see his face again.
[22:53] Orden
    I didn't mean it.
[22:58] Orden
    When I found you,
    I thought it was a miracle.
[23:06] Stark
    All the more reason I can't stay here.
[23:10] Stark
    I said something I didn't mean, too,
[23:13] Stark
    to the man who raised me.
[23:16] Stark
    So I have to bring him back
    stories of my travels.
[23:23] Orden
    I see.
[23:30] Frieren
    Which grimoire should
    I choose for my reward?
[23:34] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, it's been half a day.
[23:38] Fern
    You're distressing Mr. Gabel.
[23:40] Gabel
    Please hurry up.
[23:42] Fern
    Look. All the life has left him.
[23:46] Sein
    It'll be some time until
    they rebuild their forces.
[23:53] Sein
    What is it?
[23:57] Stark
    Nothing.
[24:02] Stark
    At the very least, he won't
    have to worry about his heir.
[24:20] Sein
    Forgotten heroes, huh?
[24:21] Stubborn
    They're forgotten heroes.
    No one even knows their names.
[24:23] Stark
    He's totally decrepit.
[24:23] Fern
    He's been alone this whole time.
[24:25] Voll
    Humans develop quickly.

[00:23] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    That mage said they'd take our photo.
[00:27] (Flashback) Young Sein
    A photo? What's that?

SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
SIGN    Episode 16: Long-Lived Friends
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Klar region, located in the northern lands
[03:03] Stark
    Is he really a strong warrior?
[03:06] Frieren
    He's a dwarf who's protected the village
    we're heading to for almost 400 years.
[03:10] Fern
    What's the life expectancy of dwarves?
[03:14] Sein
    About 300 years.
[03:16] Frieren
    His name is Old Man Voll.
[03:18] Frieren
    He's a long-lived friend of mine.
[03:21] Frieren
    I want to chat with him before he dies.
[03:24] Stark
    That's not funny.
[03:26] Fern
    But it's true that there aren't many people
    who can talk about the past with you.
[03:33] Fern
    Perhaps a detour like this one
    isn't so bad once in a while.
[03:37] Frieren
    Maybe I'll stay for a decade or so.
[03:40] Fern
    We're staying one week at most.
[04:03] Sein
    That's the village?
[04:11] Frieren
    Old Man Voll.
[04:13] Frieren
    It's been a while.
[04:16] Frieren
    Well? Doesn't he seem cool,
    like an old, seasoned warrior?
[04:21] Stark
    He's way beyond old.
[04:25] Voll
    Remind me. Who are you?
[04:28] Stark
    He's totally decrepit.
[04:30] Frieren
    It's me, Frieren.
[04:34] Voll
    Ah, yes.
[04:38] Frieren
    You're still pretending to be senile?
[04:44] Stark
    Huh?
[04:48] Voll
    Most deaths in battle
    are due to carelessness.
[04:53] Voll
    It's the greatest weakness
    of both demons and people.
[04:58] Voll
    Can't stand, can you?
[05:00] Voll
    Even the most experienced warriors
    can easily suffer fatal injuries
[05:04] Voll
    if they're not attempting
    to defend themselves.
[05:09] Voll
    If I'd drawn my sword then,
    you'd be short one leg.
[05:14] Frieren
    Your strategies are as underhanded as ever.
[05:18] Voll
    Frieren.
[05:20] Voll
    You are welcome here. Make yourself at home.
[05:26] Stark
    Wait, Frieren.
[05:29] Stark
    I can't walk.
[05:30] Frieren
    Stark, train with him while you're here.
[05:35] Stark
    Okay.
[05:36] Sein
    He's one heck of an old man.
SIGN    You're welcome to use this firewood.
[05:43] Frieren
    I'd like to stay here for a decade.
    Find us some work.
[05:47] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, we're only
    staying up to one week.
[05:51] Frieren
    Okay, fine.
[06:09] Villager A
    It's a small village.
[06:11] Villager A
    No one else would take the job,
    so I appreciate it.
[06:15] Fern
    It's not like we have anything else to do.
[06:18] Villager A
    Anyway, I had no idea
    Old Man Voll had friends.
[06:22] Villager A
    I've never seen him converse
    so happily before.
[06:26] Villager A
    He's a senile old man.
[06:28] Villager A
    Normally he struggles
    to hold a conversation.
[06:31] Villager A
    He's protected the village from monsters and
    demons for years, but nobody knows why.
[06:39] Villager A
    He's like our protective deity.
[06:42] Fern
    He's been alone this whole time.
[07:24] Frieren
    A week flies by, doesn't it?
[07:26] Frieren
    How is Stark?
[07:29] Voll
    Humans develop quickly.
[07:32] Voll
    He's improved a fair bit.
[07:34] Frieren
    I see.
[07:37] Frieren
    I had fun, Old Man Voll.
[07:41] Frieren
    I'm really grateful to you now.
[07:45] Frieren
    You're the reason I got to know
    Himmel and the others.
[07:50] (Flashback) Himmel
    Old Man Voll, why do you
    defend this village?
[07:54] (Flashback) Voll
    It's ancient history now.
[07:57] (Flashback) Voll
    It doesn't matter.
[08:00] (Flashback) Himmel
    People don't risk their lives
    for things that don't matter.
[08:07] (Flashback) Voll
    I'm just defending the village my wife loved.
[08:17] (Flashback) Voll
    She was a human.
[08:20] (Flashback) Voll
    I'm merely keeping the promise
    I made a long time ago.
[08:29] (Flashback) Voll
    But I won't say more on the subject.
[08:33] (Flashback) Voll
    I couldn't adequately describe
    her face, or voice, or eyes.
[08:39] (Flashback) Voll
    This is my memory alone.
[08:44] (Flashback) Voll
    It's silly, isn't it?
[08:47] (Flashback) Voll
    I've been keeping a promise
    I made to a dead woman.
[08:53] (Flashback) Himmel
    You're right.
[08:56] (Flashback) Himmel
    But I'm sure she's glad
    you're keeping your promise.
[09:06] (Flashback) Voll
    Himmel, you're a good hero.
[09:10] (Flashback) Voll
    I'm sure you'll defeat the Demon King.
[09:14] (Flashback) Voll
    My wife wished to see the era of peace that
    comes after the defeat of the Demon King.
[09:22] (Flashback) Voll
    I'll carry the memory of the great
    hero Himmel into the future.
[09:29] (Flashback) Himmel
    I appreciate it, but you
    don't have to do that.
[09:35] (Flashback) Himmel
    I have Frieren and Eisen in my party.
[09:38] (Flashback) Eisen
    I won't live as long as an elf.
[09:41] (Flashback) Himmel
    Then it'll be Frieren's job.
[09:45] (Flashback) Himmel
    She'll carry our memory into the future.
[09:50] (Flashback) Himmel
    Right?
[09:51] (Flashback) Frieren
    Fine, I guess.
[09:54] (Flashback) Voll
    I see.
[09:57] (Flashback) Voll
    You've been blessed with good companions.
[10:01] (Flashback) Himmel
    Later, I'll have to show you
[10:03] (Flashback) Himmel
    the collection of handsome poses
    I came up with.
[10:07] (Flashback) Frieren
    Actually, maybe I won't remember you.
[10:13] Frieren
    I probably didn't need that collection
    of handsome poses after all.
[10:17] Frieren
    I wasted my memory.
[10:20] Voll
    Do you remember that hero's face?
[10:24] Frieren
    Of course I do.
[10:26] Voll
    And his voice?
[10:30] Frieren
    Don't insult me.
[10:32] Frieren
    I remember everything.
[10:34] Frieren
    Himmel is the reason I decided
    I'd get to know people.
[10:38] Frieren
    Like your reason for defending this village,
[10:42] Frieren
    it's important to me.
[10:45] Voll
    I see. A reason, huh?
[10:50] Voll
    I can't remember anymore.
[10:54] Voll
    Not her face, nor her voice, nor her eyes.
[11:00] Voll
    But I continue defending this village
    for an important something.
[11:10] Frieren
    You're quite the jokester, Old Man Voll.
[11:15] Voll
    By the way, where are you headed?
[11:20] Frieren
    We're heading to Aureole,
    the land where souls rest.
[11:25] Voll
    Where is that?
[11:27] Frieren
    Ende, where the Demon King's castle is.
[11:31] Voll
    I see.
[11:34] Voll
    So you're finally off
    to defeat the Demon King.
[11:40] Voll
    I hope that brings peace to the land.
[11:49] Frieren
    Old Man Voll, the Demon King is...
[12:03] Voll
    What is it?
[12:06] Frieren
    I'll carry your memory into the future, too.
[12:15] Voll
    I wouldn't mind that.
[12:22] Voll
    I'm glad I got to see you
    at the end of my life.
[12:26] Frieren
    You said the same thing eighty years ago.
[12:39] Frieren
    Goodbye, Old Man Voll. Take care.
[12:44] Voll
    Frieren.
[12:47] Voll
    I dreamed of my wife.
[12:50] Frieren
    I see.
[12:52] Voll
    Maybe it's because you and I
    reminisced about the past.
[12:59] Frieren
    See you later.
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    on Rohr Road, located in the northern lands
[13:23] Frieren
    Were you asking him something?
[13:24] Sein
    I'm looking for someone.
[13:28] Sein
    You remember why I'm on
    this journey, don't you?
[13:32] Stark
    Isn't it to travel with a sexy older woman?
[13:36] Sein
    That's important, too.
[13:40] Sein
    But this is the goal of my journey.
[13:43] Sein
    To reunite with my friend
    who departed ten years ago.
[13:47] Frieren
    Oh, right.
[13:50] Stark
    A photo? You don't see those often.
[13:54] Sein
    It was taken by a mage who visited
    my village a long time ago.
[13:59] Frieren
    Have you figured out where he went?
[14:01] Sein
    We've been traveling along major
    roads in the northern lands.
[14:06] Sein
    Along the way, we've met
    people who have seen him.
[14:09] Sein
    We can probably keep heading north.
[14:15] Stark
    That was ten years ago, right?
[14:17] Stark
    I'm surprised anyone remembers seeing him.
[14:19] Sein
    He has a unique name.
[14:22] Sein
    It leaves a strong impression.
[14:24] Stark
    What's his name?
[14:26] Sein
    Gorilla Warrior.
[14:32] Stark
    Yeah, okay.
[14:34] Stark
    So what's his real name?
[14:38] Sein
    His real name?
[14:39] Stark
    Are you sure you guys were best friends?
[14:41] Sein
    Everyone in the village always
    called him Gorilla Warrior.
[14:45] Sein
    Actually, he made them call him that.
[14:48] Stark
    How does that even happen?
[14:52] Sein
    By the way, I'm Goatee Priest.
[14:54] Stark
    No one asked.
[14:56] Frieren
    Did people call you that even
    before you could grow a goatee?
[14:59] Fern
    Are we still talking about this?
[15:02] Sein
    Either way, it's good enough if they
    recognize the name Gorilla Warrior.
[15:06] Sein
    He'd definitely be calling himself that.
[15:10] Stark
    Sounds like a weird guy.
[15:11] Sein
    Yeah. He's a weird guy.
[15:22] Frieren
    Once we cross this canyon
    and walk for about a week,
[15:26] Frieren
    we'll finally be in the
    magical city of Äußerst.
[15:30] Fern
    This really has been a long journey.
[15:33] Frieren
    What are you looking at me for?
[15:35] Frieren
    I didn't do anything wrong this time.
[15:39] Sein
    Can we stop by a village first?
[15:42] Sein
    The road branches here.
[15:45] Frieren
    Sure. We'd like to rest, too.
[15:52] Sein
    Ten years ago, did someone who called
    himself "Gorilla" come this way?
[15:57] Stark
    That's a wild question.
[15:59] Villager B
    Ah, you must mean Mr. Gorilla Warrior.
[16:02] Stark
    Wow, he knows who that is.
[16:03] Villager B
    I remember him, since he
    left a strong impression.
[16:07] Villager B
    He defeated a monster that
    appeared near the village.
[16:10] Sein
    Do you know which way he headed after that?
[16:13] Villager B
    I'm not sure...
[16:16] Villager B
    Oh!
[16:17] Villager B
    Mr. Gorilla seemed close with the stubborn
    old woman who lives on the plateau.
[16:22] Villager B
    You should ask her.
[16:24] Stark
    "Stubborn old woman"?
    That's quite the nickname.
[16:28] Stubborn
    I'm a stubborn old woman, you see.
[16:31] Stubborn
    I'm not telling you for free.
[16:34] Stark
    She even calls herself stubborn.
[16:36] Sein
    What should we do?
[16:42] Stubborn
    You'll perform several tasks for me.
[16:46] Stubborn
    First, deliver this letter to Nagel,
    a blacksmith in the neighboring town.
[16:55] Sein
    It's just a simple errand.
[16:57] Freiren
    It reminds me of my journey with Himmel.
[17:00] Fern
    You did things like this?
[17:03] Frieren
    Helping people by running errands
    was a daily occurrence.
[17:07] Frieren
    And it always turned into troublesome
    searches or monster hunts.
[17:14] Stark
    Don't jinx us.
[17:17] Frieren
    In any case, let's do what we can
    to get her to open up to us.
[17:47] Sein
    This old woman just refuses to open up.
[17:51] Stark
    They don't call her stubborn for nothing.
[17:54] Frieren
    Sorry. Himmel or Heiter could've
    gotten her to open up in half a day.
[18:00] Fern
    But our party only has
    socially awkward members.
[18:07] Stubborn
    This is the last one.
[18:09] Stubborn
    Polish the heroes' statue in the canyon.
[18:14] Stubborn
    Come with me. I'll show you the way.
[18:17] Frieren
    What heroes' statue?
[18:19] Stubborn
    It's a stone statue of the heroes said
    to have saved the world a long time ago.
[18:25] Stubborn
    That's all I know.
[18:29] Stubborn
    They're forgotten heroes.
    No one even knows their names.
[18:33] Stubborn
    The village has been looking
    after it for generations.
[18:36] Sein
    Forgotten heroes, huh?
[18:38] Stubborn
    By the way, you're Goatee Priest,
    aren't you?
[18:43] Sein
    How'd you know?
[18:49] Stubborn
    We're here.
[18:52] Frieren
    A priest and a warrior.
[18:55] Frieren
    It's pretty old.
[18:57] Fern
    They kind of look like Mr. Sein
    and Mr. Gorilla.
[19:01] Frieren
    I think I recognize the warrior.
[19:06] Frieren
    It's Kraft.
[19:08] Stark
    You're right.
[19:10] Fern
    It looks just like him.
[19:15] Frieren
    Shall we get started?
[19:23] Frieren
    Sein?
[19:24] Sein
    I see.
[19:25] Sein
    So this person's name is Kraft.
[19:29] Sein
    What about this one?
[19:30] Frieren
    I don't know.
[19:33] Sein
    I see.
[19:38] (Flashback) Heiter
    What's this statue?
[19:40] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    Don't they look just like us?
[19:43] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    According to the chief,
    they're ancient heroes.
[19:47] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    But nobody even remembers their names.
[19:50] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    We won't end up like that.
[19:52] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    I refuse to be forgotten.
[19:56] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    I'm going to become
    an unforgettable hero like Himmel.
[20:02] (Flashback) Heiter
    Even the greatest heroes
    are forgotten someday.
[20:07] (Flashback) Heiter
    Even Himmel, who defeated the
    Demon King, will be no exception.
[20:13] (Flashback) Young Sein
    I guess you're right. It's impossible.
[20:21] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    You think I could get this big
    if I worked out hard enough?
[20:26] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    Gorilla Warrior.
[20:28] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    From now on, that's my name.
[20:33] (Flashback) Young Sein
    Why?
[20:35] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    If I want to become an unforgettable hero,
    then I need a memorable name.
[20:43] (Flashback) Heiter
    You're right.
[20:46] (Flashback) Heiter
    Then your name is Goatee Priest.
[20:53] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    That's a great name.
[20:56] (Flashback) Heiter
    I'm sure a goatee would look good on you.
[21:05] Sein
    We're finally done.
[21:07] Sein
    That was a lot of work.
[21:09] Frieren
    We could've used magic if it
    were a bronze statue.
[21:12] Stubborn
    I asked Gorilla to polish it, too,
[21:16] Stubborn
    but he didn't do as good a job.
[21:20] Sein
    His only strength is fighting.
[21:23] Stubborn
    But his name sure was memorable.
[21:29] Stubborn
    Gorilla talked about you a lot.
[21:34] Stubborn
    He said the two of you would become heroes
    whose names would be remembered forever.
[22:00] Frieren
    Did you figure out where Gorilla went?
[22:04] Sein
    Tür.
[22:06] Sein
    It's a trading city in the middle
    of the northern lands.
[22:09] Frieren
    That's a long ways east from here.
[22:12] Frieren
    It's in the opposite
    direction from Äußerst.
[22:15] Sein
    Yeah.
[22:21] Sein
    What am I going to do?
[23:56] Sein
    Join me in the other room, one at a time.
[23:56] Villager
    Make yourselves at home.
[23:57] Stark
    Yeah, it's all my fault.
[23:58] Frieren
    Because mediating is a priest's job.
[23:59] Heiter
    The medicine is ready.
[24:00] Fern
    You're embarrassing me.
[24:01] Himmel
    I'm pretty handsome when
    I'm being considerate, aren't I?
[24:02] Sein
    I guess it's not so bad.

[00:05] Sein
    To reunite with my friend
    who departed ten years ago.

[00:53] Fern
    Can't we wait until tomorrow

[00:58] Stark

SIGN    Episode 17: Take Care
[02:56] Sein
    I got firewood.
[02:58] Fern
    I bought ingredients for dinner.
[03:05] Fern
    My hands are freezing.
[03:06] Frieren
    It has gotten rather cold.
[03:10] Frieren
    You're right.
[03:11] Frieren
    Wow, this might be a new record.
[03:18] Stark
    Let me see.
[03:20] Stark
    You're right. They're really cold.
[03:22] Frieren
    Right?
[03:28] Stark
    Don't!
[03:30] Frieren
    Isn't this a new record?
[03:32] Stark
    Yeah. They're freezing.
[03:34] Sein
    Ridiculous.
[03:42] Fern
    It's snowing.
[03:44] Fern
    Will we need to wait
    for winter to pass again?
[03:47] Frieren
    We won't be crossing any
    steep mountains this time.
[03:52] Frieren
    Unless there's a serious blizzard,
    we'll be fine.
[04:00] Fern
    It's blizzarding.
[04:02] Sein
    It sure is.
[04:03] Stark
    Yup.
[04:05] Cabin Owner
    In this region, cold waves
    last an entire month.
[04:08] Cabin Owner
    I wouldn't recommend venturing far.
[04:11] Cabin Owner
    You can keep using the cabin for a while.
[04:18] Frieren
    What do you want to do, Sein?
    Should we leave?
[04:21] Sein
    Do you even need to ask?
[04:23] Frieren
    So we're stuck here until
    the cold wave passes.
[04:26] Sein
    That's what it sounds like.
[04:28] Frieren
    But there are bars and shops here, at least.
[04:31] Frieren
    This cabin's nice and large, too.
[04:33] Frieren
    It's a lot better than the mountain cabin
    we stayed in before.
[04:37] Frieren
    And most importantly, there's a magic shop
    in this village run by a shady old man.
[04:44] Frieren
    In my experience, shops like those
    tend to have legendary-level spells.
[04:50] Frieren
    Getting to take my time
    exploring it is a big win.
[04:54] Stark
    Legendary-level spells?
[04:56] Stark
    What kinds have you encountered so far?
[05:00] Frieren
    A spell to get rid of mold
    and a spell to remove tough oil stains.
[05:06] (Flashback) Fern
    Incredible.
[05:08] Fern
    Those spells are so convenient,
    they changed my world.
[05:12] Sein
    They sound like a grandma's household wisdom.
[05:15] Frieren
    In any case, the only thing
    we can do now is wait.
[05:18] Frieren
    We'll die if we underestimate
    the winters of the northern lands.
[05:23] Fern
    Mr. Stark did nearly die
    in the Schwer Mountains.
[05:28] Sein
    I'm from the northern lands.
[05:31] Sein
    I know that much.
[05:35] Sein
    Anyway, sounds like we'll be staying
    together for a while longer.
[06:09] Cabin Owner
    The cold wave should be ending soon.
[06:12] Cabin Owner
    It won't be long before you adventurers
    can finally continue on your journey.
[06:15] Sein
    Yeah, you're right.
[06:18] Sein
    Wait. Didn't we spend most of our time apart?
[06:23] Frieren
    Sein.
[06:25] Frieren
    Do you have a minute?
[06:27] Sein
    What is it, Frieren?
[06:29] Sein
    You don't often come to the tavern.
[06:32] Frieren
    Stark and Fern are acting strange.
[06:36] Frieren
    I think they're fighting.
    Could you mediate?
[06:39] Sein
    Sure, but why are you asking me?
[06:43] Frieren
    Because mediating is a priest's job.
[06:47] Sein
    Is it?
[06:55] Sein
    What a sorry state of affairs.
[06:57] Sein
    What happened here?
[07:00] Fern
    It's Mr. Stark's fault.
[07:03] Stark
    Yeah, it's all my fault.
[07:07] Sein
    We won't get anywhere like this.
[07:11] Sein
    Join me in the other room, one at a time.
[07:24] Sein
    So, what happened?
[07:28] Stark
    Remember how Fern touched my cheek
[07:31] Stark
    with her cold hands when we
    first arrived at the cabin?
[07:34] Sein
    Yeah, I remember that.
[07:37] Stark
    Today, when I paid her back in kind,
[07:41] Stark
    she got upset.
[07:43] Sein
    What are you, a child?
[07:47] Sein
    Of course girls don't like it when
    you put your hands on their face.
[07:53] Sein
    Are you okay with leaving
    things the way they are?
[07:55] Stark
    I'd like to make up with her.
[07:58] Sein
    Stark. Unlike me, you're good at heart.
[08:03] Sein
    Be honest, and tell her how you feel.
[08:05] Sein
    If you want to make up,
    then you have to tell her that.
[08:10] Sein
    Frieren won't mediate for you.
[08:15] Stark
    I know. I'll apologize to Fern.
[08:21] Sein
    Stark feels bad about what he did.
[08:23] Sein
    He's just a kid. He didn't mean any harm.
[08:27] Fern
    I know. I'm being stubborn.
[08:32] Fern
    I'd like to apologize to him.
[08:34] Fern
    It was my fault to begin with.
[08:37] Fern
    I don't mind that he touched me.
[08:40] Fern
    It's just... the arm he used to
    restrain my shoulder was so strong.
[08:48] Fern
    It scared me a little.
[08:53] Sein
    Do you not like Stark?
[08:56] Fern
    Why would you ask that?
[08:58] Fern
    Is that how it seems to you?
[09:00] Sein
    Then tell him you were scared and make up.
[09:06] Fern
    Be gentler.
[09:08] Stark
    I'm sorry.
[09:14] Sein
    Just start dating already!
[09:18] Frieren
    I'm not sure what happened,
    but I think you're trying really hard, Sein.
[09:23] Frieren
    Thanks for the help.
[09:28] Sein
    Frieren, you're the only one
    who praises me like I'm a kid.
[09:33] Frieren
    But you are a kid.
[09:36] Sein
    I guess it's not so bad.
[09:42] Sein
    You know, I've been wondering.
[09:46] Sein
    Why do you trouble yourself with me,
[09:49] Sein
    like when you invited me to travel with you?
[09:54] Frieren
    Maybe it really is a dislike of my own kind.
[09:58] Frieren
    The way you refused to go on an adventure
[10:00] Frieren
    reminded me of myself before
    I left to defeat the Demon King.
[10:04] Frieren
    It made me angry.
[10:07] Sein
    That doesn't explain why you
    concern yourself with me.
[10:10] Frieren
    I think I wanted to give you a reason.
[10:16] Sein
    What does that mean?
[10:20] Frieren
    It's what Himmel the Hero would've done.
[10:26] (Flashback) Himmel
    Take my hand, Frieren.
[10:29] (Flashback) Himmel
    I'll be your reason to go on a journey.
[10:37] Frieren
    They gave me the courage to travel
[10:41] Frieren
    and taught me the joy
    of spending time with friends.
[10:46] Frieren
    Well, Sein?
[10:47] Frieren
    Haven't you had fun?
[10:51] Sein
    Yeah.
[10:53] Sein
    This has been a lot of fun.
[11:07] (Flashback) Young Gorilla
    I'm going to become
    an unforgettable hero like Himmel.
[11:11] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm talking about the present, Sein.
[11:16] (Flashback) Heiter
    So I decided to trust her words.
[11:22] (Flashback) Stubborn
    Gorilla talked about you a lot.
[11:26] (Flashback) Stubborn
    He said the two of you would become heroes
    whose names would be remembered forever.
[11:56] Sein
    I've decided to go after Gorilla.
[11:59] Sein
    I won't live with regrets anymore.
[12:02] Frieren
    I know.
[12:05] Sein
    Take care, then.
[12:09] Frieren
    See you later.
[12:12] Sein
    Later.
[12:22] Stark
    Well, that was a quick goodbye.
[12:25] Frieren
    Unlike you two, Sein is an adult.
[12:28] Frieren
    I'm sure he'll be fine.
[12:48] Sein
    It's so quiet traveling alone.
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Offen mountain range, located in the northern lands
[13:15] Stark
    Huh?
[13:16] Stark
    That's unusual. They're still asleep.
[13:20] Stark
    We've been walking a lot recently.
[13:22] Stark
    Maybe they're tired.
[13:39] Stark
    Good enough.
[13:42] Stark
    Hey, breakfast is ready. Get up.
[13:49] Stark
    Fern?
[13:55] Stark
    Frieren, wake up.
[13:58] Frieren
    Just twelve more hours...
[14:00] Stark
    You can't sleep that long.
[14:03] Stark
    More importantly, Fern doesn't look well.
[14:10] Stark
    Hey.
[14:18] Frieren
    Don't.
[14:22] Frieren
    You've got a fever.
[14:25] Frieren
    You need to keep warm and rest.
[14:29] Frieren
    Let's see...
[14:36] Frieren
    Huh? That's odd.
[14:38] Stark
    I brought water.
[14:40] Frieren
    Found it.
[14:41] Stark
    What is that?
[14:43] Frieren
    Sein left us some notes on medicinal herbs.
[14:47] Stark
    Sein did, huh?
[14:49] Frieren
    I can use magic to identify her illness
    and figure out which herbs to use.
[14:54] Stark
    But I thought identifying illnesses
    was magic of the Goddess.
[14:58] Stark
    Didn't you say only the owner
    of a holy scripture could cast it?
[15:02] Frieren
    I've got a holy scripture.
[15:05] Stark
    What?
[15:10] Stark
    You're using it as a pot stand!
[15:14] Frieren
    I'm not cut out to be a priest,
    but even I can identify simple illnesses.
[15:20] Frieren
    I can't identify complex ones, though.
[15:22] Stark
    You sure you're okay?
[15:26] Frieren
    Yeah. It's just a cold.
[15:30] Frieren
    Which of the applicable herbs
    are found in this region?
[15:34] Frieren
    Come to think of it,
[15:35] Frieren
    there's a place nearby where I once
    gathered herbs with Himmel and the others.
[15:40] Stark
    For now, let's head someplace
    where we can get out of the cold.
[15:44] Frieren
    You're right.
[15:57] Villager
    Oh?
[16:06] Stark
    You're a lifesaver.
[16:08] Stark
    I didn't think anyone lived
    this deep in the mountains.
[16:12] Frieren
    There was a whole village here
    when I stopped by before.
[16:15] Villager
    That was decades ago.
[16:18] Villager
    It was a prestigious village
    once visited by the hero.
[16:23] Villager
    Anyway, make yourselves at home.
[16:27] Frieren
    Thank you.
[16:29] Frieren
    By the way, isn't there an icicle
    cherry blossom tree near here?
[16:33] Villager
    Yes, north of here.
[16:36] Villager
    It's a bit difficult to get there, though.
[16:39] Frieren
    It's all right.
[16:41] Frieren
    I've been here before.
[16:45] Villager
    Well, I'll be working.
[16:50] Frieren
    Wait here, Fern.
[16:52] Frieren
    We'll gather the ingredients
    we need for your medicine.
[16:55] Stark
    You've been holding her hand
    since we arrived.
[16:58] Frieren
    Because she seems to be in pain.
[17:00] Frieren
    When Fern has a cold,
    holding her hand makes her feel better.
[17:05] Frieren
    She's been that way since she was a child.
[17:11] Frieren
    What's wrong?
[17:13] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you're embarrassing me.
[17:18] Frieren
    How?
[17:20] Fern
    Don't treat me like a child.
[17:27] Frieren
    I see. You're right.
[17:33] Frieren
    In two years, she'll be a full-grown adult.
[17:37] Frieren
    It wasn't long ago that
    she only came up to here.
[17:41] Frieren
    I was way taller than her.
[17:44] Frieren
    But in the blink of an eye, she grew up.
[17:47] Frieren
    In my mind, Fern is still a child.
[17:52] Frieren
    I'll probably always think of her that way.
[17:56] Stark
    Frieren...
[17:59] Frieren
    We'd better hurry and get those herbs.
[18:06] Stark
    Yeah.
[18:31] Frieren
    We should be arriving at the
    icicle cherry blossom tree soon.
[18:34] Stark
    Is the icicle cherry blossom tree
    the last ingredient we need for the medicine?
[18:39] Frieren
    We'll actually be using the mushrooms
    that grow at the base of the tree.
[18:57] Frieren
    It's beautiful.
[18:59] Frieren
    I wish we could've showed Fern.
[19:02] Frieren
    It might be my favorite flower
    that blooms in winter.
[19:06] Frieren
    Be careful. The flowers are poisonous.
[19:10] Stark
    Hey, why'd you hold Fern's hand?
[19:15] Stark
    Normally you don't treat her
    that much like a child.
[19:18] Frieren
    I wasn't trying to treat her like a child.
[19:22] Frieren
    I simply held her hand because
    it looked like she was in pain.
[19:27] Frieren
    It's the only way I know to relieve her pain.
[19:33] Frieren
    What should I have done?
[19:39] Stark
    I guess you just have to do
    what you want to do.
[19:43] Stark
    At least, that's what my master did.
[19:47] Stark
    People probably need emotional support.
[19:51] Stark
    Nobody dislikes receiving support.
[20:01] (Flashback) Frieren
    What do you think you're doing?
[20:03] (Flashback) Himmel
    You were moaning in your sleep.
[20:06] (Flashback) Himmel
    We feel helpless when we're sick.
[20:09] (Flashback) Himmel
    I lost my mother when I was young,
    but she used to hold my hand like this.
[20:15] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's strangely calming.
[20:17] (Flashback) Frieren
    You mean when you were a child, right?
[20:20] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's not just children who
    need emotional support.
[20:26] (Flashback) Himmel
    It doesn't bother you, does it?
[20:29] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're right.
[20:32] (Flashback) Frieren
    I guess it's not so bad.
[20:35] (Flashback) Himmel
    I'm pretty handsome when
    I'm being considerate, aren't I?
[20:38] (Flashback) Frieren
    Please just be quiet.
[20:41] (Flashback) Heiter
    The medicine is ready.
[20:47] Stark
    Fern was probably embarrassed
    because I was there.
[20:52] Stark
    Nobody likes to be seen acting
    like a pampered child.
[20:58] Frieren
    Thank you, Stark.
[21:01] Frieren
    I'll try doing what I want to do.
[21:05] Frieren
    To thank you, I'll hold your hand
    when you get sick.
[21:09] Stark
    Don't. It's embarrassing.
[21:13] Frieren
    Okay, let's gather some mushrooms.
[21:17] Frieren
    Hup.
[21:19] Stark
    They're bigger than I expected! Scary!
[21:22] Frieren
    Now we just add the other ingredients...
[21:26] Frieren
    And mix very, very well.
[21:29] Stark
    You're like a witch! Really scary!
[21:33] Frieren
    Open your mouth, Fern.
[21:45] Villager
    You're good at that. Thanks for the help.
[21:49] Stark
    You think so?
[21:51] Frieren
    It's all right. You'll feel better soon.
[21:56] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, I'm not a child anymore.
[22:00] Frieren
    I know.
[22:02] Frieren
    I know that.
[22:14] Villager
    Take care of yourselves!
[22:18] Fern
    Thank you so much!
[22:21] Stark
    You're looking a lot better.
[22:25] Fern
    I have the two of you and
    Mr. Sein's notes to thank for that.
[22:30] Fern
    The owner of that home was very kind, too.
[22:36] Frieren
    Okay.
[22:38] Frieren
    Our destination is Äußerst, the city of magic.

SIGN    Episode 18: First-Class Mage Exam
[01:34] Stark
    So that's the largest magical city
    in the northern lands, Äußerst.
SIGN    29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    in the Kühl region, located in the northern lands
[01:39] Frieren
    We're still a long ways away.
[01:41] Frieren
    We'll need to hitch a ride on
    a carriage on our way there.
[01:46] Fern
    Once you get your first-class
    mage certification there,
[01:49] Fern
    we'll be able to enter the Northern Plateau.
[01:52] Frieren
    I don't think I have to be
    the one to get certified.
[01:56] Frieren
    I won't be able to use it for long, anyway.
[01:59] Frieren
    You should get certified, Fern.
[02:01] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, don't you know?
[02:04] Fern
    Only a handful of the most skilled mages
    have ever gained a first-class certification.
[02:12] Fern
    I certainly couldn't manage it.
[02:14] Frieren
    Oh, really?
[02:17] Fern
    You don't seem interested.
[02:20] Stark
    It's a bit late to ask,
[02:21] Stark
    but why do we need to be accompanied
[02:24] Stark
    by a crazy-powerful mage to enter
    the Northern Plateau, anyway?
[02:27] Frieren
    The Northern Plateau has long been inhabited
[02:29] Frieren
    by many cunning, magic-using
    monsters like the Einsam.
[02:34] Frieren
    It's a dangerous region that you once couldn't
    cross without a priest and a skilled mage.
[02:39] Frieren
    That said, if someone as valuable
[02:41] Frieren
    as a skilled mage is required
    to travel through the area,
[02:45] Frieren
    something pretty serious must be
    happening on the Northern Plateau.
[02:51] Frieren
    We'll look into the exam
    once we arrive in Äußerst.
[02:55] Frieren
    According to Fern, there's a combat test.
[02:59] Frieren
    I'll need to come up with a strategy.
[03:01] Fern
    Aren't you powerful enough to
    easily handle any kind of test?
[03:06] Fern
    Even when you're suppressing your mana,
[03:08] Fern
    you still produce as much
    as an experienced old mage.
[03:12] Frieren
    Don't call me an old mage.
[03:15] Stark
    Now she's sulking.
[03:17] Stark
    Don't you think calling her
    an old mage was a bit mean?
[03:20] Fern
    I'm sorry.
[03:22] Frieren
    I haven't forgotten that you
    called me an old hag, Stark.
[03:26] Stark
    How long ago was that?
[03:29] Frieren
    Forget it. I'm going to sleep.
[03:30] Frieren
    Wake me when we get to Äußerst.
[03:34] Fern
    Sheesh.
[03:38] Frieren
    Actually, never mind.
[03:40] Stark
    What's wrong?
[03:42] Frieren
    I could only see half the sky.
[03:46] Stark
    What?
[03:48] Frieren
    Just so you know, Fern,
[03:50] Frieren
    mana isn't the only factor that
    determines a mage's strength.
[03:54] Frieren
    Technique, experience, the spells
    they use, their control...
[03:58] Frieren
    There's effort and tenacity, too.
[04:00] Stark
    Some of those sound more like warrior traits.
[04:03] Frieren
    Finally, there's talent.
[04:06] Frieren
    In my life, I've lost eleven times to
    mages who had less mana than me.
[04:13] Frieren
    Four of them were demons.
[04:16] Fern
    Qual was one of them.
[04:19] Frieren
    One was an elf like me,
[04:22] Frieren
    and the remaining six were humans.
[04:27] Übel
    The graf's city should be
    coming into view soon.
SIGN    In the frontier of Graf Granat's domain,
    located in the northern lands
[04:31] Übel
    The road to Äußerst is steep.
[04:35] Übel
    Maybe I'll take a break.
[04:40] Bandit A
    That's a nice staff you've got there, miss.
[04:45] Übel
    What's this? More bandits?
[04:49] Übel
    We're finally enjoying peace now
    that Aura has been defeated, too.
[04:53] Übel
    But now we're seeing more of these types.
[04:56] Bandit A
    Who told you to speak?
[04:58] Bandit A
    Gather your things and—
[05:06] Bandit B
    Bastard.
[05:16] Kraft
    If you value your lives,
    then leave this place.
[05:21] Bandit A
    Let's go.
[05:24] Übel
    Thanks for saving me.
[05:28] Übel
    I'm Übel the Mage.
[05:31] Kraft
    Kraft the Monk.
[05:33] Übel
    Huh? Are you an elf?
[05:35] Übel
    How unusual. This is my
    first time seeing one.
[05:39] Kraft
    You have the eyes of a killer.
[05:45] Kraft
    I didn't rescue you.
[05:48] Kraft
    I found the torn-up bodies
    of bandits in the woods nearby.
[05:52] Kraft
    They'd been killed by a mage.
[05:55] Kraft
    A tremendously skilled one, no less.
[05:58] Übel
    Oh, yeah?
[06:01] Übel
    Did you come to lecture me?
[06:05] Kraft
    No. I'm an adventurer, too.
[06:07] Kraft
    I'm not so hard-headed as to criticize
    someone for killing in self-defense.
[06:12] Kraft
    I was simply saving the lives
    I saw in front of me.
[06:16] Übel
    You're a shrewd old man. You're no fun.
[06:19] Kraft
    Are you headed to Äußerst?
[06:22] Übel
    Yeah. I'm going to take
    the first-class mage exam.
[06:27] Kraft
    Frieren said the same thing.
[06:32] Kraft
    I look forward to hearing about her
    adventures when I see her next.
SIGN    Continental Magic Association,
    Northern Branch
[06:37] Clerk
    The exam will take place
    two months from now.
[06:40] Clerk
    Keep in mind that the first-class mage exam
    is administered once every three years.
[06:45] Clerk
    Also, a fifth-class mage or higher
    certification is required to take the exam.
[06:53] Frieren
    Fern, it's all up to you.
[06:57] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, I can't do this alone.
[07:00] Frieren
    Sure you can.
[07:02] Fern
    What are we going to do if I fail?
[07:04] Fern
    The first-class mage exam is only
    held once every three years.
[07:07] Frieren
    We'll either hire a first-class mage
    or travel by sea.
[07:11] Fern
    That would be incredibly expensive.
[07:14] Fern
    We won't be able to afford snacks anymore.
[07:20] Frieren
    But I'm uncertified.
[07:26] Frieren
    My holy emblem won't work, will it?
[07:30] Fern
    Again, what is that antique?
[07:34] Lernen
    Hey, you.
[07:37] Lernen
    Could I take a look at that?
[07:45] Lernen
    Are you planning to take
    the first-class mage exam?
[07:52] Frieren
    Looks like I get to take the exam.
[07:55] Frieren
    I'm surprised there's anyone around
    who still knows what this is.
[07:58] Fern
    Is that thing impressive?
[08:02] Frieren
    It's supposed to be.
[08:06] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren, you're not part
    of a magic guild, are you?
[08:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    The organizations that manage
    magic change all the time.
[08:14] (Flashback) Frieren
    I can't be bothered to join every one.
[08:17] (Flashback) Himmel
    Huh.
[08:20] (Flashback) Frieren
    Besides, I have this.
[08:22] (Flashback) Frieren
    A holy emblem. Pretty impressive, right?
[08:27] (Flashback) Himmel
    What's this rusty necklace? Any clue?
[08:30] (Flashback) Heiter
    None at all.
[08:37] (Flashback) Frieren
    I see.
[08:40] (Flashback) Frieren
    But this is the only thing
    that proves I'm a mage.
[08:46] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren, it's true that we
    don't recognize that necklace.
[08:51] (Flashback) Himmel
    But we know you're an incredible mage.
[08:56] (Flashback) Himmel
    Isn't that enough?
[09:00] (Flashback) Frieren
    But you'll die so soon.
[09:09] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[09:11] Fern
    We know you're an incredible mage.
[09:22] Frieren
    You're right.
[09:26] Frieren
    According to the Continental
    Magic Association's regulations,
[09:29] Frieren
    a person becomes a proper mage
    once they've achieved at least fifth class.
[09:35] Frieren
    Fern, why did you get a
    third-class certification?
[09:38] Fern
    Because it had the soonest
    available testing date.
[09:42] Frieren
    There are 600 mages who
    are at least fifth class.
[09:46] Frieren
    Even when you include apprentices from sixth
    to ninth class, there are 2,000 mages total.
[09:51] Frieren
    Among them, 45 are first class.
[09:54] Frieren
    The first-class exam is held
    once every three years
[09:57] Frieren
    at the northern branch in Äußerst and the
    headquarters in the holy city of Strahl.
[10:03] Frieren
    Many years, no one passes the test at all.
[10:06] Frieren
    Some test-takers are expected
    to be injured or die.
[10:09] Frieren
    It seems moderately challenging.
[10:12] Frieren
    Either way, there are a lot
    fewer mages these days.
[10:16] Fern
    There used to be more?
[10:19] Frieren
    A century ago, when the Demon King's
    attacks intensified,
[10:22] Frieren
    you could expect to encounter at least
    one mage while walking around town.
[10:27] Frieren
    These days, you hardly see
    them outside magic cities.

    Bracelets, huh?
[12:31] Frieren
    They have numbers on them.
    I must be in the 2nd party.
[12:36] Frieren
    Imbuing it with mana allows me to locate
    the bracelets belonging to my party members.
[12:40] Frieren
    So this is how we identify
    our party members.
[12:44] Frieren
    Either way, this is interesting.
[12:47] Frieren
    Setting aside normal party compositions,
[12:49] Frieren
    these improvised parties of magical
    miscreants will struggle to work together.
[12:57] Frieren
    First impressions are important here.
[13:00] Frieren
    I should be careful not to make waves.
[13:03] Frieren
    I sense my party members'
    bracelets around here.
[13:07] Kanne
    Ow, ow, ow!
[13:09] Kanne

    rules of the first test.

    Small birds known as Stille
    live within the testing area.
[13:40] Genau
    Each party has been given one cage.
[13:44] Genau
    There are two conditions you must
    fulfill to pass the first test.
[13:48] Genau
    First, by sunset tomorrow,
    have a cage containing a Stille,
[13:52] Kanne
    Stay away from me!
[13:53] Genau
    and second, have all of your party
    members present at that time.
[13:57] Genau
    You are mostly free to do as you wish,
[14:00] Genau
    but if anyone leaves the testing area,
[14:04] Genau
    their entire party will fail the test.
[14:08] Lawine
    They say that like there isn't a barrier
    around the testing area
[14:12] Lawine
    that won't let so much as
    a speck of dust through.
[14:14] Kanne
    It's not like we can get out.
[14:17] Frieren
    So they're actually listening
    to the explanation.
[14:20] Genau
    The first test begins now.
[14:23] Kanne
    We should start by coming up with a plan!
[14:26] Lawine
    Are you stupid?
[14:27] Lawine
    We can't come up with a plan
    if we can't even find them!
[14:31] Frieren
    They're still fighting.
[14:34] Frieren
    Why don't we introduce
    ourselves while we walk?
[14:40] Frieren
    Also, use rock-paper-scissors to
    decide who will carry the cage.
[14:50] Frieren
    I'm Frieren. Nice to meet you.
[14:53] Lawine
    I'm Lawine, a third-class mage.
[14:56] Kanne
    I'm Kanne, also a third-class mage.
[14:59] Kanne
    Lawine and I go way back.
[15:01] Kanne
    We graduated from the same magic school.
[15:04] Frieren
    Do you two know anything about the Stille?
[15:07] Lawine
    No.
[15:08] Kanne
    Nope.
[15:09] Frieren
    I do, but I've never seen
    one in person before.

    Let's start by finding a
    Stille and observing it.

    I can keep moving. I'll go ahead
    and check things out.
[15:50] Kanne
    It's safer to stay together.
[15:52] Lawine
    Oh, shut up. That's so inefficient.
[15:57] Frieren
    Lawine, are you strong?
[15:59] Lawine
    Stronger than her.
[16:00] Kanne
    You wanna fight, huh?
[16:02] Frieren
    And compared to me?
[16:05] Lawine
    I wouldn't want to fight you.
[16:08] Frieren
    I see.
[16:10] Frieren
    Fine. Go check things out.
[16:12] Frieren
    Come back if it gets too dangerous.
[16:15] Lawine
    Okay.
[16:16] Frieren
    And watch the skies.
[16:19] Lawine
    I know.
[16:23] Frieren
    I wonder if our party will be okay.
[16:26] Kanne
    Frieren, you're like a teacher.
[16:29] Kanne
    You'd make a good leader.
[16:31] Frieren
    It's because you two keep fighting.
[16:34] Frieren
    I don't want to lead.
[16:36] Kanne
    Sorry. We've always been like this.
[16:41] Kanne
    By the way, what did you mean
    when you said to watch the skies?
[16:44] Frieren
    I meant exactly what I said.
[16:47] Frieren
    Do you struggle to detect mana?
[16:50] Kanne
    Why?
[16:51] Lawine
    Hey.
[16:53] Frieren
    That was quick.
[16:55] Lawine
    I found a Stille.
[16:59] Frieren
    Nicely done, Lawine. Now watch it closely.
[17:08] Frieren
    I told you to observe.
[17:11] Frieren
    It's going to run away.
[17:12] Lawine
    I don't think so. Nice work, Kanne.
[17:20] Frieren
    Huh. Not bad.
[17:24] Frieren
    But you should probably get down.
[17:26] Lawine
    What? Why?
[17:33] Frieren
    Stille are incredibly tough.
[17:36] Frieren
    Their top speed is faster
    than the speed of sound.
[17:39] Frieren
    Trying to restrain one
    like that is pointless.
[17:42] Lawine
    Seriously? It's already gone.
[17:45] Kanne
    That was close.
[17:46] Frieren
    Capturing one will require
    careful observation.
[17:50] Frieren
    We'll use this entire day
    for Stille observation.
[17:54] Frieren
    Kanne controlled the water,
    and Lawine froze it.
[17:59] Frieren
    Their timing was perfectly coordinated.
[18:02] Frieren
    Their teamwork is superb.
[18:04] Frieren
    It's not something you
    could achieve overnight.
[18:07] Frieren
    I was worried for a while there,
    but this might actually work.
[18:11] Lawine
    Let's go after it.
[18:14] Kanne
    We should search around the lake instead.
[18:16] Lawine
    Why? We should go sooner rather than later.
[18:17] Frieren
    Nope. They're fighting again.
[18:50] Kanne
    I hear something. Huh?
[18:55] Kanne
    Frieren's missing.
[19:01] Kanne
    It's faint, but that's the sound of rain.
[19:11] Kanne
    But it's not raining, so why...?
[19:14] Kanne
    Oh, I see.
[19:17] Kanne
    Does that mean...?
[19:23] Kanne
    A monster!
[19:33] Kanne
    My staff...
[19:39] Kanne
    Lawine!
[19:51] Frieren
    I told you to watch the skies.
[20:04] Frieren
    Have you calmed down?
[20:06] Kanne
    Yeah.
[20:08] Frieren
    You called Lawine's name.
[20:12] Frieren
    But you don't like Lawine, do you?
[20:16] Kanne
    No, I don't.
[20:18] Frieren
    Right? So how do you two
    work together so well?
[20:23] Frieren
    It's strange.
[20:26] Kanne
    I'm surprisingly craven.
[20:29] Kanne
    I often fail to act during critical moments.
[20:36] Kanne
    It happened when I cast
    my first flying spell, too.
[20:42] (Flashback) Lawine
    The ones who already left
    are already so far away.
[20:47] (Flashback) Lawine
    You'll have water beneath you,
    so it's not like you'll die.
[20:50] (Flashback) Lawine
    If you don't have the courage
    to do it, want me to kick you?
[20:53] (Flashback) Kanne
    I hate you, Lawine.
[20:56] (Flashback) Lawine
    I know.
[20:58] (Flashback) Kanne
    You're always so mean to me.
[21:01] (Flashback) Kanne
    I'm the kind of person who
    grows with praise, you know.
[21:05] (Flashback) Lawine
    You're joking, right?
[21:07] (Flashback) Lawine
    This is what happens when you grow up
    babied by a kind mommy and daddy.
[21:12] (Flashback) Lawine
    If it'll help you fly,
    I'll be as nice as you want.
[21:17] (Flashback) Kanne
    Then name my strengths.
[21:19] (Flashback) Lawine
    Are you for real?
[21:27] (Flashback) Lawine
    You try really hard even
    though you're a coward.
[21:31] (Flashback) Kanne
    What?
[21:33] (Flashback) Lawine
    That's your strength.
[21:38] (Flashback) Kanne
    Tell me more.
[21:39] (Flashback) Lawine
    What? Why?
[21:43] (Flashback) Lawine
    You work really hard in secret.
[21:46] (Flashback) Lawine
    You're considerate and pay attention
    to your surroundings.
[21:50] (Flashback) Kanne
    More.
[21:55] (Flashback) Lawine
    You're cute when you smile.
[21:58] (Flashback) Kanne
    What? Ew.
[22:06] (Flashback) Kanne
    That was close.
[22:09] (Flashback) Lawine
    So you can fly after all.
[22:11] (Flashback) Lawine
    I'm done being kind to you.
[22:15] Kanne
    Lawine is rough, but she
    pulls me along with her.
[22:20] Kanne
    Because of her, I realized
    I can manage most things
[22:23] Kanne
    if I just go for it, even if I'm scared.
[22:28] Kanne
    By the way, Frieren...
[22:32] Kanne
    I noticed something interesting.
[22:40] Kanne
    Do you think this could be useful?
[22:44] Frieren
    I see.
[22:45] Frieren
    We might be able to capture
    a Stille easily after all.
[22:50] [SONG] Ed Lyrics

[24:12] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I'm whispering our lullaby
    for you to come back home
[24:20] Laufen
    It's strange.
[24:20] Lawine
    Let's do this.
[24:21] Land
    Why are you so relaxed?
[24:22] Richter
    They're inexperienced.
[24:22] Frieren
    Someone's detected us.
[24:23] Übel
    It's time to fight other mages.
[24:24] Kanne
    Shut up.
[24:24] Wirbel
    Then there's no need for words.
[24:25] Denken
    The 2nd party has a well-laid plan.

[01:57] Lawine
    See? I knew you could do it.
[02:00] Kanne
    You think so?
[02:03] (Flashback) Kanne
    Lawine is rough, but she
    pulls me along with her.
[02:10] (Flashback) Himmel
    Our first battle against a dragon is tomorrow.
[02:15] (Flashback) Himmel
    Are you scared, Eisen?
[02:17] (Flashback) Himmel
    You're shaking.
[02:19] (Flashback) Eisen
    Yeah.
[02:20] (Flashback) Himmel
    I see. In that case...
[02:23] (Flashback) Himmel
    Wait, what? You're scared?
[02:25] (Flashback) Eisen
    Yeah.
[02:29] (Flashback) Himmel
    I see. I'm scared, too.
[02:34] (Flashback) Frieren
    What kind of conversation is this?
[02:37] (Flashback) Himmel
    I thought I'd copy other adventurers
    and inspire you, but...
[02:41] (Flashback) Himmel
    I'm sorry. It doesn't seem to have worked.
[02:45] (Flashback) Eisen
    No. Thanks to you, I'm no longer tense.
[02:48] (Flashback) Heiter
    Himmel, just be yourself.
[02:51] (Flashback) Heiter
    I'm sure this sort of thing
    differs from party to party.
[02:57] (Flashback) Himmel
    You're right.
[03:04] Frieren
    I see. It really does differ
    from party to party.
[03:15] Fern
    We finally caught a Stille.
[03:18] Fern
    Now we don't have to worry.
[03:21] Land
    Why are you so relaxed?
[03:24] Übel
    The hard part's still to come.
[03:27] Land
    We have to keep our Stille
    from being stolen by other parties.
[03:33] Übel
    It's time to fight other mages.
[03:40] Frieren
    Let's review what we learned
    from observing the Stille.
[03:45] Kanne
    First, like Frieren said, those birds
    fly faster than the speed of sound.
[03:55] Kanne
    We could never catch up to it at that speed.
[03:59] Kanne
    Furthermore, they're as tough as dragons.
[04:01] Kanne
    Common attack spells have no effect,
    and they break free of most restraints.
[04:06] Lawine
    On top of that, they're sensitive to mana.
[04:10] Lawine
    Even when we suppress our mana to
    approach one, it quickly flies away.
[04:22] Lawine
    The biggest problem of all is because the
    Stille themselves have practically no mana,
[04:27] Lawine
    we can't find them using mana detection.
[04:30] Lawine
    Because of that, we have
    no idea where they are now.
[04:33] Lawine
    We don't know how many there are either.
[04:35] Kanne
    The only ones we ever spotted were
    those three yesterday morning.
[04:40] Kanne
    They're probably being cautious because
    the test-takers are searching for them.
[04:44] Kanne
    Worst case, they might
    never show themselves again.
[04:47] Lawine
    And even if we do find one,
    we have no idea how to catch it.
[04:52] Frieren
    Don't worry about that.
[04:55] Frieren
    Last night I experimented with a spell
    that might be useful for catching a Stille.
[05:01] Kanne
    I remember you going out.
[05:04] Kanne
    What kind of spell is it?
[05:05] Frieren
    I already showed you, Kanne.
[05:09] Frieren
    A spell that captures a bird.
[05:12] Frieren
    It's a folk spell developed by
    a tribe of hunters during an era
[05:17] Frieren
    when mages and magic were far more common.
[05:22] Kanne
    Come to think of it, you did use
    a spell to restrain that creature.
[05:25] Kanne
    But wasn't that a monster and not a bird?
[05:28] Frieren
    It's folk magic, after all.
[05:30] Frieren
    It appears it can be used to capture
    anything that broadly resembles a bird.
[05:34] Frieren
    It's a powerful binding spell.
[05:37] Frieren
    I think it'll probably work on the Stille.
[05:39] Lawine
    Why didn't you say so earlier?
[05:42] Lawine
    We could've caught one yesterday
    if we'd used that.
[05:45] Frieren
    Actually, we couldn't have.
[05:49] Frieren
    That spell's range is 50 centimeters.
[05:52] Frieren
    You have to get that close to use it.
[05:55] Lawine
    Fifty centimeters?
[05:57] Lawine
    How close have we gotten so far?
[05:59] Kanne
    Three meters was the closest.
[06:02] Kanne
    Not only that, but they noticed us
    by the time we got within 20 meters of them.
[06:07] Frieren
    So we're one step short
    of meeting the requirements.
[06:10] Lawine
    That's one huge step.
[06:13] Frieren
    Just to confirm, it's difficult for you two
    to stop the Stille with your magic, right?
[06:18] Lawine
    It'd probably work if we could freeze one,
[06:21] Lawine
    but they're sensitive to mana, tough,
    and resistant to freezing.
[06:25] Lawine
    It'd probably escape before
    we could fix it in place.
[06:28] Kanne
    I bet we could easily stop one with my magic
    if we had access to a ton of water.
[06:35] Kanne
    But my magic only allows me to control water.
[06:39] Kanne
    I can't create it out of nothing.
[06:43] Kanne
    So I can't use it unless
    there's water present,
[06:46] Kanne
    and mana struggles to penetrate
    large bodies of water.
[06:49] Kanne
    I'd probably have to infuse it
    with my mana beforehand.
[06:52] Kanne
    I can quickly take control of even large
    amounts of water if it's scattered, like rain.
[06:58] Kanne
    But if I infused water with mana, the mana-
    sensitive Stille would definitely stay away.
[07:05] Frieren
    Stay away?
[07:07] Frieren
    I see. They'd stay away.
[07:11] Frieren
    This plan might work.
[07:33] Lawine
    It's not bad, but it's risky.
[07:37] Lawine
    We'd be picking a fight
    with all the other teams.
[07:40] Kanne
    But I doubt we'll catch one otherwise.
[07:46] Kanne
    Are you scared, Lawine?
[07:52] Kanne
    Ow, ow, ow! You're gonna rip them off!
[07:57] Lawine
    Fine.
[07:58] Lawine
    Let's do this.
SIGN    4th Party
    Land, Second-Class Mage
[08:04] Land
    For now, let's hide until the test is over.
SIGN    4th Party
    Übel, Third-Class Mage
[08:09] Übel
    What? That's no fun.
[08:11] Übel
    We're mages. We should fight openly.
SIGN    4th Party
    Fern, Third-Class Mage
[08:14] Land
    Mages also avoid unnecessary fighting.
[08:22] Land
    But first, we should get water.
[08:25] Land
    I think there was a lake
    in the middle of the area.
[08:32] Land
    Either way, I'm glad
    we caught a Stille so quickly.
[08:37] Land
    If we can remain hidden until sunset,
    we'll pass the first test.
[08:43] Land
    What is it?
[08:44] Übel
    Looks like it won't be that easy.
[08:47] Übel
    I thought this was a road,
    but it's actually a dry riverbed.
[08:53] Übel
    Not only that, but I saw similar
    terrain in a few other places.
[08:57] Fern
    Isn't there a barrier around the testing area?
[09:01] Land
    Yeah. That's standard for tests.
[09:05] Land
    They're powerful physical barriers
    that keep out even specks of dust.
[09:09] Fern
    Do they block water, too?
[09:12] Land
    Oh.
[09:13] Übel
    Judging by the dryness,
    the barrier was erected over a week ago.
[09:18] Fern
    Then most of the water will have collected
    in the lake in the middle of the valley.
[09:24] Fern
    Since the test-takers are living creatures,
[09:27] Fern
    we need some amount of water to stay active.
[09:30] Land
    That doesn't guarantee test-takers
    would gather around the lake.
[09:35] Fern
    You're right.
[09:37] Fern
    We can carry water with us.
[09:39] Fern
    But the Stille, which are
    also living creatures, cannot.
[09:43] Land
    I see. And those who have realized that
[09:47] Land
    will be waiting around the lake,
    the largest body of water in the area.
[09:53] Land
    Okay, I've made my decision.
    We'll give up on finding water.
[09:56] Übel
    That'll be tough. I'm already parched.
[10:01] Land
    I'm sure we can find a small pond.
[10:04] Übel
    Is that sanitary?
[10:06] Fern
    Perhaps if we boil it.

[10:41] Wirbel
    What a pain in the ass.
    I was shooting to kill.
[10:46] Wirbel
    You're quick enough to react to that?
[10:50] Wirbel
    Well, whatever.
    Leave the cage with the Stille.
[10:54] Übel
    And if we refuse?
[10:56] Wirbel
    Then there's no need for words.
[11:08] Fern
    The lake is that way.
[11:34] Test-Taker A
    They froze the lake.
[11:36] Blei
    Seriously? What are they doing?
[11:38] Edel
    This isn't funny.
[11:40] Wirbel
    That's the mana of one of
    the 2nd party's members.
[11:43] Wirbel
    What are they thinking?
[11:46] Wirbel
    Are they trying to antagonize
    all the other parties?
[11:56] Edel
    What are you doing?
[11:58] Edel
    Hurry up and melt it!

    It's a waste of time and effort.

    There's no point in melting it now.
SIGN    13th Party

    After that showy display of magic,
    the Stille won't come near this lake again.
SIGN    13th Party
    Laufen, Third-Class Mage
[12:17] Denken
    We'll steal our Stille from the 2nd party.
[12:21] Denken
    If they went this wild,
    they must have a plan to catch one.
[12:48] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, what are you doing?
[13:00] Land
    Let's scatter for now.
[13:07] Edel
    We have to melt the frozen lake quickly!
[13:10] Denken
    Those fools.
[13:12] Denken
    Using that much magic to melt the ice
    will make the lake truly useless.
[13:21] Denken
    The Stille won't come near here again.
[13:24] Party B
    Let's go.
[13:25] Mob 2
    Yeah.
[13:25] Mob 3
    That way!
[13:26] Denken
    Those who realized that are searching
    for other watering holes,
[13:31] Denken
    but their mana detection is inadequate.
[13:33] Denken
    They won't be able to handle airborne threats.
[13:36] Richter
    They're inexperienced.
[13:38] Test-Taker B
    Apparently the 2nd party froze the lake.
[13:41] Test-Taker C
    Are they trying to ruin the test?
[13:43] Denken
    Ruin it? No.
[13:46] Denken
    The 2nd party has a well-laid plan.
[13:50] Denken
    Until we unravel it, we won't get anywhere.
[14:18] Denken
    Monsters got them.
[14:29] Denken
    They're already dead.
[14:33] Denken
    Let's go.
[14:34] Laufen
    Sir, let's at least take them down.
[14:38] Denken
    You can see them, can't you?
[14:41] Denken
    They're circling above.
[14:44] Denken
    Not just one or two of them either.
[14:47] Denken
    There's magic on those corpses.
[14:50] Denken
    They'll detect you
    if you try to take them down.
[14:53] Denken
    Geisel. That's how they lure
    and hunt their next prey.
[14:59] Denken
    This party fell for their trap
    and got themselves killed.
[15:05] Laufen
    It's strange that they chose
[15:06] Laufen
    to administer the test in an area
    inhabited by monsters like these.
[15:10] Laufen
    It's like they think nothing
    of the test-takers dying.
[15:13] Richter
    Laufen, this is your first time
    taking the first-class exam, isn't it?
[15:17] Richter
    Their reasoning is incredibly simple.
[15:20] Richter
    Anyone who would die here is
    unqualified to be a first-class mage.
[15:25] Richter
    The Continental Magic Association
[15:27] Richter
    is very mindful of maintaining
    the quality of first-class mages.
[15:30] Richter
    There are those who still dream
[15:33] Richter
    of the powerful and noble mages
    who fought the Demon King's forces.
[15:37] Denken
    Damn their outdated ideas.
[15:41] Richter
    I'm surprised, Denken.
[15:42] Richter
    I thought you'd be on their side.
[15:46] Denken
    The quality of a mage is irrelevant.
[15:49] Denken
    First-class mages need only
    be symbols of power.
[15:54] Denken
    No matter how powerful you are,
[15:57] Denken
    unless you can control people's hearts,
    you're as good as powerless.
[16:02] Denken
    I've seen countless mages
    far more skilled than myself
[16:06] Denken
    fall from power and be persecuted.
[16:10] Denken
    Great power is feared,
    and rule by fear doesn't last long.
[16:15] Denken
    Besides, magic isn't a noble thing.
[16:20] Richter
    I see. So someone as weak as you
    is perfect for the job.
[16:25] Denken
    Watch your tongue, boy.
[16:27] Denken
    I could beat you with my eyes closed.
[17:03] Laufen
    We've had no luck detecting the 2nd party.
[17:07] Richter
    They're concealing their mana and hiding.
[17:11] Denken
    This place, too. All the watering holes
    we've seen are the same.
[17:17] Denken
    It's faint, but there's mana in the water.
[17:22] Laufen
    I don't sense anything.
[17:25] Lauren
    Do you?
[17:26] Richter
    No. Is it the 2nd party?
[17:30] Denken
    I doubt even the person
    who cast it could detect it.
[17:34] Denken
    There's that little in it.
[17:36] Denken
    But a Stille could sense it.
[17:39] Denken
    They won't come near this water again.
[17:42] Laufen
    What's the point of doing this?
[17:45] Laufen
    I see. There's a watering hole somewhere
    that doesn't contain mana.
[17:49] Denken
    And that's where the 2nd party will be.
[17:54] Laufen
    How will we find it?
[17:57] Denken
    I'm going to rest a bit.
[17:59] Richter
    Denken.
[18:01] Denken
    The testing area is enormous.
[18:03] Denken
    It'd be impossible to find a mage
    who truly doesn't want to be found.
[18:08] Denken
    We'll wait.
[18:09] Denken
    They'll show us where they are eventually.
[18:14] Kanne
    I infused every lake and pond
    I could find with mana.
[18:19] Kanne
    It's possible there are bodies of water
    we don't know about, though.
[18:23] Frieren
    Just limiting the watering holes
    the Stille can use is enough.
[18:28] Frieren
    I'll wait here for a Stille.
[18:41] Lawine
    Seriously? It's possible to completely
    suppress your mana?
[18:45] Frieren
    Not completely.
[18:47] Frieren
    When I move, I release a little mana. See?
[18:51] Lawine
    I can't sense it.
[18:54] Lawine
    We'll stand watch.
[18:59] Lawine
    Don't hold us back.
[19:00] Kanne
    Shut up.
[19:02] Kanne
    If it'd just rain,
    I could be useful in a fight.
[19:05] Lawine
    But the barrier would deflect all of it.
[20:14] Lawine
    Frieren, did you do it?
[20:17] Lawine
    It was worth picking a fight
    with the other parties.
[20:21] Kanne
    Now we'll pass the first test.
[20:26] Frieren
    No.
[20:27] Denken
    Found them.
[20:29] Denken
    So they used magic after all.
[20:32] Denken
    Not even the most skilled mage
    can conceal that moment.
[20:37] Frieren
    Someone's detected us.
    We should get away from here.
[20:46] Frieren
    Looks like it's too late to run.
[20:51] Scharf
    Jubelade.
[21:01] Ehre
    Doragate.
[21:04] Fern
    It's like a cannon.
[21:08] Ehre
    She backed off again.
[21:17] Ehre
    Her technique is refined
    and shows no openings, but it's old.
[21:21] Ehre
    It's like fighting against my grandfather.
[21:24] Ehre
    Ordinary offensive magic and defensive magic.
[21:27] Ehre
    You only use basic spells.
[21:30] Ehre
    Are you playing things close to the chest?
[21:32] Fern
    I was taught to only use
    basic spells in combat.
[21:36] Ehre
    That's your master's philosophy, then?
[21:39] Fern
    Yes. She said it's enough
    to defeat mages of this era.
[21:45] Ehre
    Oh, yeah?
[21:55] Ehre
    Again. What is this feeling of wrongness?
[21:59] Ehre
    It's like I'm fighting an experienced mage.
[22:04] Ehre
    You're going to struggle.
[22:05] Ehre
    If you fought Wirbel with your technique,
    you'd be dead by now.
[22:10] Fern
    That doesn't make sense.
[22:12] Fern
    You're the strongest one here, aren't you?
[22:26] Ehre
    Wirbel is the captain of the
    Northern Magic Corps that fought
[22:30] Ehre
    against the remnants
    of the Demon King's forces.
[22:33] Ehre
    He has far more experience in battle.
[22:36] Ehre
    His magic is devoid of character.
[22:39] Ehre
    It's underhanded,
    for the sole purpose of winning.
[22:42] Ehre
    The girl fighting Wirbel now
    will probably be killed.
[22:48] Fern
    Is that so?
[22:50] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    And I'm alright (I'll be alright)
[22:53] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Yeah, I hear you (I care about you)
[22:56] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    The wind teases this hair that's longer now
[23:01] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    There's meaning in everything
[23:04] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Even the days that came to a halt
[23:07] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Now that I finally understand,
    I've caught up to you
[23:13] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    See, things that couldn't have been
[23:17] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Seen if it weren't for these eyes
[23:20] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Why? They begin to overflow
[23:25] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I won't ask to see you, so at least
[23:31] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Let me remember the past, just for today
[23:37] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    So, if we were to meet again
[23:43] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    No more hesitations, I'd choose the present
[23:50] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Anytime, anywhere, yah (wherever you are)
[23:53] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Anytime, anywhere (smile for me)
[23:57] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I'll be there (close your eyes,
    and I'll always be there)
[24:00] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Even if there are no absolutes
[24:03] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I'm always aware of your thoughts
[24:06] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Those tears will be alright,
    dawn will surely break
[24:12] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I'm whispering our lullaby
    for you to come back home
[24:20] Übel
    What hells have you seen?
[24:20] Scharf
    I'll take your head off.
[24:22] Denken
    I'll crush her.
[24:22] Kanne
    He's strong.
[24:23] Lawine
    Interesting. Try me.
[24:24] Land
    This is impressive.
[24:24] Ehre
    What's this sound?
[24:26] Richter
    You old fart.
[24:27] Wirbel
    I've always killed everyone I had to.

[00:17] Wirbel
    Now that's scary.
[00:19] Wirbel
    She's probably using magic
    that cuts through physical objects.
[00:24] Wirbel
    It's a simple type of magic,
    but I can't see its trajectory.
[00:31] Wirbel
    It's impossible to block all of them, but...
[00:36] Wirbel
    What's the matter? You're not
    going to follow up on that?
[00:39] Übel
    I might've gone a bit too hard.
[00:42] Wirbel
    Maybe.
[00:44] Wirbel
    The range of your magic is
    about five meters, isn't it?
[00:48] Übel
    Correct. So, what do we do now?
[00:51] Übel
    Are we going to whale on each
    other with basic spells again?
[00:54] Wirbel
    No, that won't be necessary.
[00:58] Ehre
    His magic is devoid of character.
[01:01] Ehre
    It's underhanded,
    for the sole purpose of winning.
[01:03] Ehre
    The girl fighting Wirbel now
    will probably be killed.
[01:10] Fern
    Now, then.
[01:16] Ehre
    A saturation attack?
[01:21] Ehre
    How can she control so many
    attack spells at once?
[01:27] Ehre
    This is an absurd feat of strength.
[01:30] Ehre
    It doesn't have a shred of character.
[01:34] Ehre
    I can't... handle them all.
[01:53] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    You're there like the wind
[01:57] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Closing your eyes at sunset
[02:01] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    I wonder what's on your mind
SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
[02:12] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    With your eyelids open
[02:15] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Your eyes shone like glass
[02:20] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    It faintly smelled like a sunny day
[02:33] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Clear up the sky, let flowers bloom
[02:38] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Bloom and blame it on the sunny sky
[02:42] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Even the rain, when it stops
[02:47] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Will make you shine in the sunlight
[02:52] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Calm the stirring sounds in my heart
[02:57] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    We go like the sunny wind
[03:01] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Go on and fly over that cloud
[03:05] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Further and further away
SIGN    Episode 20: Necessary Killing
[03:18] Wirbel
    Sorganeil.
[03:29] Übel
    I can't move.
[03:32] Übel
    I can't control my mana, either.
[03:35] Übel
    It's a powerful binding spell.
[03:38] Übel
    If he has this, why didn't
    he catch a Stille himself?
[03:42] Übel
    Though I suppose it's useless
    if he can't find one.
[03:47] Wirbel
    My spell binds those I can see.
[03:52] Wirbel
    As long as I keep looking at you,
    you won't be able to move.
[03:57] Wirbel
    I could easily kill you in your current state.
[04:01] Übel
    Not only that, but he was holding back.
[04:05] Übel
    If he'd truly intended to kill me,
[04:07] Übel
    he would've bound me during his initial ambush.
[04:12] Wirbel
    This is your last chance.
[04:16] Wirbel
    Leave the Stille and walk away.
[04:19] Übel
    Aw, he's no fun.
[04:21] Übel
    And I thought I'd finally
    found a fight to the death.
[04:24] Übel
    So threatening me into handing over
    our Stille was his goal after all.
[04:30] Übel
    Wait a minute.
[04:31] Übel
    Why do you need to order me to do that?
[04:34] Übel
    You could just take the Stille
    from me while I couldn't move.
[04:58] Übel
    So you need to keep my entire body in view.
[05:02] Übel
    No wonder you don't use it
    against multiple targets.
[05:05] Wirbel
    You were aiming for my eyes.
[05:07] Übel
    That's the logical choice, isn't it?
[05:09] Wirbel
    No. If I were you, I'd go for
    the kill and attack the neck.
[05:15] Wirbel
    That would end the fight.
[05:17] Wirbel
    You should've been able to do that.
[05:21] Wirbel
    There were people on the battlefield
    who did similar things.
[05:25] Wirbel
    They were all perverts who enjoyed killing.
[05:32] Wirbel
    I guess I should kill you now.
[05:37] Übel
    Have you ever killed women
    and children before?
[05:41] Wirbel
    You think I haven't?
[05:43] Übel
    Huh. What hells have you seen?
[05:48] Wirbel
    Trying to buy time?
[05:52] Wirbel
    Fine. I'll play along.
[05:57] Wirbel
    The Northern Magic Corps are mercenaries
    who specialize in fighting demons,
[06:02] Wirbel
    but in times of need, we're mobilized
    to fight in wars between nations.
[06:09] Wirbel
    People know exactly what makes
    other people weak.
[06:14] Wirbel
    The fiendish act of sending women
    and children to war wasn't uncommon.
[06:21] Wirbel
    It wasn't hell.
[06:25] Wirbel
    It's commonplace in the far north.
[06:28] Übel
    I see. I've heard enough.
[06:44] Übel
    You're not going to kill me?
[06:48] Übel
    I think the magic a person specializes in
    is strongly related to their life and nature.
[06:57] Übel
    A spell that binds your opponent feels like
    a way to delay killing them.
[07:05] Übel
    I see. That's why you let me buy time, too.
[07:09] Übel
    I'm surprised.
[07:11] Übel
    Your hands are already drenched in blood,
    and yet you still want to remain human.
[07:20] Wirbel
    That's right. I use this time
    to prepare myself to kill.
[07:25] Wirbel
    But you know, miss...
[07:29] Wirbel
    Though I may hesitate,
    I've always killed everyone I had to.
[07:38] Wirbel
    Later, miss.
[07:44] Fern
    Don't move.
[07:51] Wirbel
    You're kidding, right?
[07:53] Wirbel
    You beat Ehre?
[07:55] Wirbel
    I didn't sense her at all.
[07:58] Wirbel
    I'm surprised. You can
    completely conceal your mana?
[08:02] Wirbel
    You must be the one who captured the Stille.
[08:05] Übel
    We just got lucky.
[08:07] Übel
    We happened upon a Stille's roost,
[08:10] Übel
    and her master had taught her
    a spell that captures a bird.
[08:14] Übel
    And you've got a spell that binds anything,
     so I guess you just got really unlucky.
[08:19] Wirbel
    Seriously. I've got no luck.
[08:22] Wirbel
    You were fighting Ehre.
[08:25] Wirbel
    What happened to her?
[08:26] Fern
    I killed her.
[08:32] Wirbel
    The conditions for passing the first test
[08:35] Wirbel
    are possessing a Stille by sunset tonight
    and having all your party members present.
[08:44] Wirbel
    We lost. I'm getting out of here.
[08:48] Übel
    I thought you were going to kill me.
[08:51] Wirbel
    I've already failed the test.
[08:53] Wirbel
    Killing you would be unnecessary.
[08:55] Wirbel
    Later.
[08:58] Wirbel
    You can attack me from behind if you want.
[09:02] Wirbel
    You'll just be turning an unnecessary kill
    back into a necessary one.
[09:06] Fern
    Ms. Übel.
[09:08] Übel
    I know.
[09:15] Übel
    You're a good liar.
[09:16] Fern
    We should go to assist
    Mr. Land while we can.
[09:20] Übel
    That four-eyes will be fine.
    He's quite the pretender.
[09:39] Scharf
    It's over.
[09:42] Land
    This is impressive.
[09:47] Land
    You turned countless petals into metal
    and controlled them precisely
[09:51] Land
    to slip them through my defenses.
[09:54] Land
    But this is your own invention, isn't it?
[09:56] Land
    Spells like that often
    neglect the fundamentals.
[10:01] Land
    I always watch and wait when
    fighting an opponent I don't know.
[10:08] Land
    I know exactly what your weaknesses are.
[10:11] Land
    I'll probably win.
[10:13] Scharf
    Talkative, aren't you?
[10:15] Scharf
    How do you intend to win when
    I've ruined your dominant arm?
[10:21] Scharf
    If you won't surrender,
    then I'll take your head off.
[10:25] Land
    I told you, I'm still observing you
    before the battle begins.
[10:30] Land
    You're not very good at
    detecting mana, are you?
[10:41] Scharf
    Illusion magic.
[10:43] Land
    It has substance, so strictly speaking,
     it's more like a clone.
[10:48] Scharf
    How long—
[10:53] Land
    Since the beginning,
    when the first test started.
[10:58] Land
    I don't trust other people.
[11:04] Wirbel
    Killed her, my ass.
[11:06] Wirbel
    That bitch lied like it was nothing.
[11:11] Wirbel
    Wake up, Ehre.
[11:15] Wirbel
    Out of mana? Pathetic.
[11:18] Wirbel
    Didn't you graduate at the top of your class?
[11:21] Ehre
    She overwhelmed me with
    ordinary offensive magic.
[11:26] Ehre
    I couldn't block them all.
[11:30] Ehre
    You don't believe me, do you?
[11:33] Wirbel
    No, I do.
[11:39] Wirbel
    Why'd you attack her head-on like an idiot?
[11:43] Wirbel
    It's not like you couldn't have won.
[11:48] Wirbel
    But if she could pull off this stunt
    with ordinary offensive magic alone,
[11:54] Wirbel
    she must be one nasty monster.
[11:58] Wirbel
    Let's go. We'll meet up with Scharf.
[12:01] Ehre
    Wait. I can't walk.
[12:04] Wirbel
    Oh, fine.
[12:11] Ehre
    Are you really going to float me
    there like an object?
[12:14] Ehre
    Carry me on your back!
[12:20] Wirbel
    Why am I doing this?
[12:23] Ehre
    Do you sense Scharf nearby?
[12:25] Wirbel
    He's on the other side of those bushes.
[12:28] Wirbel
    Hey, Scharf. Help me carry...
[12:35] Scharf
    Wirbel, carry me on your back.
[12:38] Scharf
    I feel numb and can't move.
[12:45] Wirbel
    Damn it.
[12:46] Wirbel
    Seriously, what the hell is going on?
[12:51] Ehre
    What's this sound?
[12:53] Wirbel
    Probably the rain.
[12:55] Wirbel
    It's started raining outside the barrier.
[12:58] Wirbel
    It's like my current mental state.
[13:01] Wirbel
    The sun will set in two or three more hours.
[13:04] Wirbel
    The first test will end.
[13:07] Wirbel
    Two of us are out of the fight.
[13:09] Wirbel
    We can't steal anyone's Stille like this.
[13:12] Wirbel
    We're going to fail.
[13:15] Ehre
    But you're helping us anyway.
    You're a nice guy.
[13:19] Wirbel
    I don't mind ditching you
    two here, you know.
[13:23] Scharf
    Please don't abandon us.
[13:24] Wirbel
    Don't cry. You're a man, aren't you?
[13:28] Ehre
    Is that kindness the reason
    you fight demons?
[13:38] Ehre
    You saved my village, too.
[13:41] Wirbel
    Are you stupid?
[13:42] Wirbel
    I couldn't risk my life for kindness.
[13:45] Wirbel
    People fight for their own desires.
[13:49] Wirbel
    In my case, I had ulterior motives.
[13:52] Wirbel
    I was in love with a girl from my hometown.
[13:56] Wirbel
    Exactly 29 years ago, the demon activity
    in the northern lands increased.
[14:02] Wirbel
    She and her entire family
    fled to the central lands.
[14:06] Wirbel
    I was a dumb kid.
[14:08] Wirbel
    I decided to show off for her.
[14:10] (Flashback) Young Wirbel
    I'll kill all those shitty demons.
[14:15] (Flashback) Young Wirbel
    When I do, come back to this village.
[14:23] Wirbel
    I was only four or five years old.
[14:27] Wirbel
    I don't even remember
    her face or name anymore.
[14:34] Ehre
    What an idiot.
[14:35] Wirbel
    Yeah. I'm an idiot.
[14:44] Wirbel
    Are we sailing back home again?
    I get seasick easily.
[14:49] Ehre
    Want me to introduce you to my grandpa?
[14:52] Ehre
    Since he's a first-class mage,
    we can travel by land to...
[14:56] Ehre
    Hey, Wirbel.
[14:58] Wirbel
    What is it?
[14:58] Ehre
    Look.
[15:11] Wirbel
    You can't be serious.
    What was all that effort for?
[15:16] Wirbel
    Took long enough for luck to go my way.
[15:25] Kanne
    Frieren, she's not doing anything.
[15:32] Denken
    An elf, huh?
[15:34] Denken
    She's a skilled mage.
[15:37] Denken
    I doubt Laufen's magic would work a
    second time now that she's seen it.
[15:43] Denken
    But just once was enough.
[15:45] Denken
    We're not trying to kill each other here.
[15:50] Kanne
    She vanished?
[15:52] Lawine
    Frieren, the Stille...
[15:55] Frieren
    She took it, huh?
[16:03] Frieren
    That's an interesting spell.
[16:17] Sense
    It's comfortable inside the barrier
    even when it's raining.
[16:20] Genua
    Come to think of it, aren't you the proctor
    for the second test, Sense?
[16:26] Sense
    Looks like you killed a few promising
    test-takers again, Genau.
[16:32] Genau
    Don't make me laugh.
[16:35] Genau
    No promising test-taker would die from this.
[16:39] Genau
    Besides, first-class mages
    simply have that much worth.
[16:44] Genau
    You should know that.
[16:47] Sense
    Either way, choosing a target immune to
    mana detection for a mage test wasn't nice.
[16:55] Sense
    Whether or not they'll catch one
    comes down to luck.
[16:59] Sense
    This is a battle masquerading
    as a competition.
[17:02] Genau
    Luck is a skill.
[17:05] Genau
    And some test-takers seem to have captured
    a Stille without relying on luck.
[17:11] Genau
    The sun will set in three hours.
[17:14] Genau
    The battle will grow more intense.
[17:20] Sense
    Who do you think will survive?
[17:22] Genau
    A third will remain.
[17:25] Genau
    Denken will be among them.
[17:28] Genau
    His skill is comparable
    to a first-class mage's.
[17:33] Sense
    What's an old man only interested
    in wealth and political power
[17:36] Sense
    doing getting certified now?
[17:38] Sense
    Is he doing it for the privilege after all?
[17:41] Genau
    Who knows?
[17:42] Genau
    He's getting up there in years.
[17:45] Genau
    I'm sure he's got something on his mind.
[17:48] Frieren
    The spell that girl used
    was Jilwer, wasn't it?
[17:53] Frieren
    That's a folk spell used by a mountain tribe
    in the southern lands.
[17:58] Denken
    That's right.
[18:00] Kanne
    What's a Jilwer?
[18:01] Lawine
    A spell that allows you to move at high speed.
[18:03] Frieren
    Then the two of you
    should've remained hidden.
[18:08] Frieren
    She could've simply taken
    the Stille on her own.
[18:11] Denken
    Laufen is still inexperienced.
    She left too many traces of mana behind.
[18:17] Denken
    You could have easily followed her, Frieren.
[18:23] Denken
    You must really find
    our presence troublesome.
[18:26] Frieren
    Well, yes. You know who I am?
[18:30] Denken
    There isn't a mage of our generation
    who doesn't know that name.
[18:35] Denken
    It's my first time seeing
    you with my own eyes,
[18:38] Denken
    but I knew who you were
    as soon as I saw you.
[18:40] Denken
    You are Frieren, the mage
    from the party of heroes.
[18:45] Kanne
    Is she famous?
[18:46] Lawine
    She's a legendary mage.
    I knew it might be possible, but...
[18:51] Lawine
    I guess elves really don't age.
[18:54] Frieren
    You're challenging me rather openly.
[18:57] Frieren
    You've been sniffing around us
    this whole time, haven't you?
[19:00] Frieren
    I was expecting something underhanded.
[19:03] Richter
    This is plenty underhanded.
[19:06] Richter
    While Denken keeps you busy,
    I'll kill one of those two kids.
[19:13] Frieren
    I see.
[19:14] Frieren
    If we can't pass because we're lacking a
    party member, we'll be forced to back off.
[19:21] Lawine
    Interesting. Try me.
[19:23] Kanne
    Lawine, he's strong.
[19:26] Lawine
    I know.
[19:30] Denken
    Don't, Richter. All we need
    to do is keep them busy.
[19:35] Denken
    We can win this fight.
[19:37] Richter
    Denken, I thought you were a
    more merciless and cold man.
[19:43] Richter
    You're an imperial mage, aren't you?
[19:45] Richter
    I'm sure you've killed political enemies
    more than a couple of times.
[19:57] Denken
    I simply don't believe being a first-class mage
    is worth killing someone.
[20:02] Frieren
    I can agree with that.
[20:05] Frieren
    "First-class mage" is just a title.
[20:08] Frieren
    It's not that valuable.
[20:12] Richter
    You can't be serious.
[20:14] Richter
    You mean you took this test without
    knowing the privilege that title grants?
[20:17] Frieren
    Privilege?
[20:20] Richter
    More than fifty years ago,
    the great mage and founder
[20:25] Richter
    of the Continental Magic Association,
    Serie, suddenly appeared
[20:31] Richter
    to reign over humanity's magic.
[20:34] Richter
    She's still searching for mages refined
    during the long war against the Demon King.
[20:42] Richter
    So she promised to grant a special
    privilege to anyone who achieved
[20:46] Richter
    the rank of first-class mage.
[20:50] Richter
    She will grant them any
    one spell they desire.
[20:54] Richter
    Serie is a living grimoire who knows nearly
    every spell in humanity's history.
[21:00] Richter
    She's the closest mage in our world to the
    all-knowing and all-powerful Goddess.
[21:05] Richter
    You could acquire massive wealth,
[21:08] Richter
    cure the gravest of diseases,
    or gain overwhelming power.
[21:14] Richter
    For mages, to gain whatever spell they want
    is equivalent to having a wish granted.
[21:21] Richter
    People are simple.
[21:23] Richter
    So modern first-class mages are all
     monsters who barely seem human.
[21:29] Richter
    It's that valuable a privilege.
[21:31] Frieren
    I see.
[21:33] Denken
    This is nonsense.
[21:38] Richter
    Denken, people like you who don't care
    about the privilege are the minority.
[21:45] Richter
    Let's begin.
[21:47] Richter
    Denken, keep her busy for one minute.
[21:49] Richter
    That's enough time for me
    to kill the two of them.
[21:52] Denken
    Don't make me say it again, Richter.
[21:55] Denken
    They're just kids.
[21:57] Denken
    We're simply going to put them
    to sleep for three hours.
[22:00] Denken
    You can handle looking after
    some children, can't you?
[22:02] Richter
    Denken.
[22:07] Denken
    I'll crush her.
[22:10] Denken
    That should be enough.
[22:12] Richter
    You old fart.
[22:15] Richter
    Bargland.
[22:35] Denken
    The young are too hot-blooded.

    for you to come back home
[24:20] Denken
    You inexperienced fool.
[24:20] Frieren
    A spell that I desire?
[24:21] Lawine
    The difference between our mana is too great.
[24:21] Laufen
    But she underestimates us.
[24:22] Richter
    Give me a break.
[24:23] Genau
    That old man fights rather spectacularly.
[24:23] Kanne
    I know!
[24:24] Flamme

    Bargland.
[02:43] Denken
    The young are too hot-blooded.
[02:47] Denken
    The so-called privilege is nonsense.
[02:51] Frieren
    What makes you say that?
[02:54] Denken
    Do you even have to ask?
[02:57] Denken
    The greatest joy of magic
    lies in searching for it.
[03:03] Denken
    That's all.
[03:06] Frieren
    I see.
[03:09] (Flashback) Serie
    Time passes quickly.
[03:13] (Flashback) Serie
    The student I chose to train on a whim
    has already returned with her own student.
[03:18] (Flashback) Flamme
    This is Frieren.
[03:20] (Flashback) Serie
    An elf, huh?
[03:22] (Flashback) Serie
    She's strong. I like her.
[03:27] (Flashback) Serie
    Tell me what spell you desire.
[03:29] (Flashback) Serie
    I shall grant you just one.
[03:32] (Flashback) Frieren
    A spell that I desire?
[03:35] (Flashback) Serie
    I have knowledge of nearly every grimoire
    that's ever been written.
[03:41] (Flashback) Serie
    Mages spend their entire lives
    searching for the spell they desire.
[03:48] (Flashback) Serie
    Tell me what yours is,
    and I shall grant it to you.
[03:52] (Flashback) Frieren
    I don't want one.
[03:55] (Flashback) Frieren
    The greatest joy of magic
    lies in searching for it.
[04:01] (Flashback) Serie
    Flamme, this girl is no good after all.
[04:05] (Flashback) Serie
    She lacks a burning ambition.
[04:09] (Flashback) Flamme
    Master, someday this girl
    will defeat the Demon King.
[04:16] (Flashback) Flamme
    It will be a mage like her
    who clears the way to a peaceful era.
[04:21] (Flashback) Serie
    Are you saying I cannot?
[04:23] (Flashback) Flamme
    As one who seeks battle,
    you cannot kill the Demon King.
[04:28] (Flashback) Flamme
    We can't do it.
[04:31] (Flashback) Flamme
    After all, you can't imagine yourself
    living in a peaceful era, can you?
[04:41] (Flashback) Flamme
    Frieren is a mage of a peaceful era.
[04:51] Frieren
    Good answer.
[04:53] Frieren
    This is how mages ought to be.
[05:09] Lawine
    Damn it. He won't freeze at all.
[05:13] Lawine
    The difference between
    our mana is too great.
[05:15] Lawine
    Nephtear.
[05:24] Richter
    Weak.
[05:30] Lawine
    Kanne, defense!
[05:31] Kanne
    I know!
[05:35] Richter
    You two put on quite the show earlier,
[05:38] Richter
    so I believe I know most of your tricks.
[05:44] Richter
    Relatively non-lethal ice magic,
[05:48] Richter
    and a mage who can't fight without water.
[05:53] Richter
    What am I even doing here?
[05:56] Richter
    This really is just babysitting.
[06:05] Lawine
    That's not a nice thing to say.
[06:07] Lawine
    Won't you run out of mana
    casting such flashy spells?
[06:13] Richter
    You graduated from magic school, didn't you?
[06:16] Richter
    Are the old folks still teaching their students
    to fight defensive battles of attrition?
[06:23] Kanne
    What do you mean?
[06:24] Richter
    Let me lecture you on the history of magic.
[06:29] Richter
    The defensive spell developed to combat
    Zoltraak is highly resistant to magic itself,
[06:36] Richter
    but its effectiveness against physical
    objects has hardly changed since then.
[06:42] Richter
    Naturally, there's a clear reason for that.
[06:46] Richter
    It's enough to defend against the physical
    attacks of monsters and warriors.
[06:52] Richter
    Defensive magic mustn't be over-engineered.
[06:56] Richter
    If we aimed for perfection,
    the technique would become too complex,
[07:00] Richter
    which would have a fatal effect
    on activation time.
[07:03] Richter
    The history of magic is one
    of attacking and defending.
[07:07] Richter
    It's the reason there's a trend
    for modern attack spells
[07:09] Richter
    to involve controlling physical objects.
[07:14] Richter
    Do you understand what I'm getting at?
[07:19] Lawine
    Kanne, no! Move!
[07:27] Richter
    My spells overwhelm my opponents
    with high-volume physical attacks.
[07:33] Richter
    Now stay down.
[07:39] Richter
    Give me a break.
[07:41] Richter
    I'm not interested in hurting you.
[07:43] Richter
    Or do you want me to kill you after all?
[07:47] Lawine
    Should you be approaching us so carelessly?
[07:51] Lawine
    Sixty percent of the human body
    is made of water.
[07:55] Richter
    So what?
[07:57] Richter
    Magic is a world of visual imagination.
[08:00] Richter
    Can you picture how that water is distributed
    throughout a person's body,
[08:05] Richter
    and how you'd remove and manipulate it?
[08:08] Richter
    How would you do that to a mage
    protected by a large amount of mana?
[08:14] Richter
    Spells can't produce effects
    you can't picture.
[08:17] Richter
    And even if there were water here,
    a small girl like you is no threat to me.
[08:24] Lawine
    Not even bluffing works?
    I hate adults like you.
[08:29] Lawine
    But I have figured out one thing.
[08:32] Lawine
    You're lying.
[08:35] Lawine
    If you loved fighting enough
    to lecture us on it,
[08:38] Lawine
    you would've beaten us
    somewhere there was water.
[08:42] Lawine
    What are you so afraid of?
[08:48] Richter
    Behave yourselves.
[08:51] Richter
    My job is just to put you two to sleep.
[08:55] Richter
    As long as Denken doesn't lose, that is.
[09:10] Denken
    At this rate, this battle will end
    when she exhausts my mana.
[09:16] Denken
    This is all a bit tough for this old body.
[09:19] Denken
    My apologies, Frieren, but I'm
    going to settle this quickly.
[09:25] Denken
    Waldgose.
[09:29] Denken
    Daosdorg.
[09:37] Richter
    What is that decrepit old man doing?
[09:42] Genau
    That old man fights rather spectacularly.
[09:45] Sense
    Will the barrier hold?
[09:47] Genau
    Of course. The barrier was created
    by the great mage Serie.
[09:53] Genau
    It cannot be destroyed by brute force.
[09:56] Sense
    Oh? That's good, then.
[09:59] Sense
    By the way, since around yesterday evening,
[10:02] Sense
    someone's been analyzing the barrier.
[10:05] Genau
    Why?
[10:07] Sense
    I don't know.
[10:08] Genau
    In any case, they're wasting their time.
[10:12] Genau
    Do you really think there's a mage
    in this world greater than Serie?
[10:24] Denken
    Catastravia.
[10:35] Denken
    Impossible. A counterattack?
[10:37] Denken
    That was a continuous volley
    of spears of light.
[10:40] Denken
    She shouldn't have had the opportunity.
[10:59] Denken
    I'm out of mana. So this is the end.
[11:03] Denken
    I don't believe it.
[11:05] Denken
    She only used basic combat
    spells until the end.
[11:10] Denken
    This was practically a combat
    lesson for a trainee mage.
[11:16] Denken
    I'm surprised.
[11:18] Denken
    Even at my level, there was
    still someone above me.
[11:22] Frieren
    Tell me where Laufen is.
[11:25] Frieren
    I know you know.
[11:27] Frieren
    I'm taking back our Stille.
[11:30] Denken
    If you were in my position,
    do you think you'd tell me?
[11:34] Frieren
    You're right.
[11:46] Frieren
    Laufen, you're hiding nearby, aren't you?
[11:50] Frieren
    Bring the Stille here.
[11:53] Frieren
    If you don't, I'll kill Denken.
[11:57] Denken
    Don't do it, Laufen.
    She doesn't intend to kill me.
[12:01] Denken
    You can tell, can't you?
[12:02] Lauren
    The old man was beaten.
[12:04] Lauren
    She's a far better mage than me—
    no, better than even Richter.
[12:10] Lauren
    But she underestimates us.
[12:12] Lauren
    She's not touching the old man's body.
[12:14] Denken
    Don't use Jilwer. Stay hidden.
[12:19] Denekn
    If you release even the slightest bit
    of mana, she'll detect you.
[12:22] Lauren
    From this distance, I could
    retrieve the old man and flee!
[12:26] Denken
    Don't. It's a trap.
[12:28] Frieren
    You leave me no choice.
[12:30] Frieren
    I don't really want to do this, but...
[12:35] Frieren
    Found you.
[12:38] Denken
    You fool.
[12:43] Denken
    You inexperienced fool.
[12:45] Denken
    You knew she wouldn't kill me.
[12:48] Laufen
    But she planned to hurt you
    without killing you.
[12:54] Denken
    We still would've won.
[12:58] Laufen
    Why are you so desperate
    to become a first-class mage?
[13:03] Laufen
    You've got wealth, influence,
    and everything else you could want.
[13:12] Denken
    My homeland is located deep
    in the Northern Plateau.
[13:17] Denken
    Because the demons are acting up, only
    first-class mages can enter the area now.
[13:23] Denken
    I wanted to visit a grave
    I haven't been to in a while.
[13:27] Denken
    That's all.
[13:30] Denken
    Shouldn't you go help the kids?
[13:34] Denken
    Perhaps it's too late, though.
[13:37] Denken
    Richter will kill them before he faces you.
[13:42] Denken
    He's capable of making pragmatic choices.
[13:46] Frieren
    They'll be fine. Kanne and Lawine will win.
[13:52] Frieren
    I just finished analyzing the barrier.
[13:57] Richter
    I wasn't expecting Denken to lose.
[14:01] Richter
    Now, then.
[14:03] Richter
    Babysitting time is over.
[14:31] Lawine
    He's actually trying to kill us now.
[14:34] Lawine
    We won't last a minute against him.
[14:37] Laufen
    Analyzing the barrier?
[14:40] Laufen
    What do you mean?
[14:44] Denken
    Frieren. Don't tell me, you...
[14:58] Sense
    Genau.
[14:59] Genau
    It's not a problem. It's impossible.
[15:03] Genau
    Even if the world were turned upside down—
[15:13] Sense
    It's going to break.
[15:21] Genau
    Sense, who is that elf mage?
[15:26] Sense
    According to the list of test-takers,
    her name is Frieren.
[15:30] Genau
    That's the name of the mage who
    traveled with the party of heroes.
[15:34] Sense
    She apparently had a holy emblem, too.
[15:38] Genau
    So she's the last great mage.
[15:41] Serie
    Now you've done it, Frieren.
[15:44] Serie
    It's been a thousand years,
    and this is how you say hello?
[15:49] Serie
    This is why I can't quit being a mage.
[15:52] Serie
    In the world of magic, sometimes
    the world is turned upside down.
[15:58] Denken
    I can't believe you actually
    destroyed the barrier.
[16:02] Laufen
    Why would you do that?
[16:04] Frieren
    Because I felt sorry for Kanne.
[16:07] Frieren
    Magic should be free.
[16:09] Denken
    She controls water, does she?
[16:13] Frieren
    Magic is a world of visual imagination.
[16:16] Frieren
    Can you imagine defeating a mage
    who controls water in the rain?
[16:21] Frieren
    At the very least, I can't.
[16:24] Frieren
    I doubt Richter can either.
[16:27] Richter
    The barrier...
[16:29] Richter
    What happened?
[16:31] Kanne
    It's raining.
[16:32] Richter
    No, I can figure out what happened later.
[16:36] Richter
    I have to finish them now—
[16:38] Lawine
    You finally showed an opening.
[16:40] Lawine
    Your panic is disrupting your mana.
[16:43] Richter
    This will only buy you time!
[16:47] Lawine
    I see now why you feared a spell
    that could control water.
[16:54] Lawine
    This is the perfect example of the
    high-volume physical attacks you mentioned.
[17:00] Kanne
    Lawine, don't let him get away.
[17:04] Kanne
    Reamstroha.
[17:09] Richter
    There's nowhere for me to run, anyway.
[17:14] Richter
    This is why I don't like water.
[17:31] Frieren
    Looks like you won.
[17:33] Frieren
    Let's get away from here.
[17:35] Frieren
    The sun sets in two hours.
[17:37] Frieren
    You can conceal your mana
    until then, can't you?
[17:39] Lawine
    I don't have any mana left to conceal.
[17:42] Frieren
    I see. You did well.
[17:46] Lawine
    Don't pat my head.
[17:50] Richter
    Sorry.
[17:53] Denken
    It was inevitable.
[18:00] Richter
    Denken and I are out of mana.
[18:05] Richter
    We have two hours left.
[18:07] Richter
    We're finished.
[18:12] Denken
    Laufen, can you dispel the binding?
[18:15] Laufen
    You must be joking.
    This binding spell is ridiculously powerful.
[18:19] Denken
    Then bring down the tree instead.
[18:31] Richter
    Denken, there's nothing we can do.
[18:33] Laufen
    I don't have the mana left
    to use Jilwer anymore.
[18:39] Denken
    Richter and Laufen, what do you think
    an imperial mage does in this situation?
[18:46] Denken
    He keeps fighting until the end.
[18:51] Denken
    We'll search for signs of battles fought
    by other parties and track them down.
[18:57] Übel
    You know, Fern,
[18:59] Übel
    you're really rather boring.
[19:03] Übel
    You seriously do only cast basic spells.
[19:07] Fern
    You should direct your
    complaints to Ms. Frieren.
[19:10] Übel
    Come to think of it,
    that elf is your master, right?
[19:17] Übel
    It's her fault we're soaking wet right now.
[19:20] Übel
    Make sure you give her an earful, all right?
[19:23] Fern
    I intend to.
[19:25] Fern
    Also, she doesn't limit what spells
    I cast outside of combat.
[19:30] Übel
    Come to think of it, you did cast
    a spell to catch that bird.
[19:34] Übel
    What other spells can you use?
[19:37] Fern
    Let's see...
[19:39] Fern
    I have a spell that lets you
    see through clothes...
[19:43] Fern
    I'm not going to cast it.
[19:45] Land
    I hate to interrupt your
    pleasant conversation,
[19:49] Land
    but maybe you shouldn't reveal
    too many of your tricks.
[19:52] Land
    From the second test onward,
    we'll be competing against one another.
[19:57] Übel
    You're right.
[20:00] Übel
    Sorry 'bout that.
[20:02] Übel
    But I think you should've opened up
    some more, four-eyes.
[20:11] Denken
    There they are.
[20:12] Denken
    It's a defeated party.
[20:15] Denken
    The corpse of one of their
    members was nearby.
[20:18] Denken
    Even though there's no way for them to pass,
    they're keeping a tight hold on their Stille.
[20:28] Richter
    Are we going to negotiate with them, Denken?
[20:31] Denken
    They wouldn't cooperate.
[20:32] Denken
    If I were in their position,
    I'd refuse even money.
[20:38] Laufen
    Why?
[20:39] Denken
    It wouldn't sit right with me.
[20:42] Denken
    It's not about logic.
[20:45] Denken
    Laufen, wait here.
[20:47] Denken
    If you see an opportunity,
    take their Stille.
[20:50] Denken
    Richter, come with me.
[20:53] Richter
    What do you intend to do?
[21:05] Richter
    We're approaching them head-on?
[21:07] Richter
    We don't have any mana left.
[21:11] Denken
    Don't you get it?
[21:14] Denken
    They're in the same boat.
[21:26] Denken
    Prepare yourself.
[21:31] Denken
    You're a man, aren't you?
[21:35] Richter
    You're joking, right?
[21:39] Denken
    Let's settle this with our fists!
[22:10] Genau

    It's been two days since
    they left for the exam.
[22:38] Stark
    I can stay up as late as I want,
    and Fern isn't around to get mad at me.
[22:42] Stark
    I'm so happy, it's scary.

    I'm not sharing.
[24:20] Lecker
    Don't worry, Ms. Frieren.
[24:21] Frieren
    Don't talk about that.
[24:22] Kanne
    You're even more spoiled than me.
[24:23] Fern
    It's not my birthday.
    Can I really indulge myself like this?
[24:23] Denken
    You must eat your vegetables, too.
[24:26] Stark
    She's such a pain in the butt.
[24:26] Richter
    We're no longer a party.

[02:11] Stark
    It's evening, huh?
[02:13] Stark
    Lazing around isn't half bad.
[02:25] Stark
    What's going on?
[02:29] Stark
    Coming.
[02:43] Stark
    Fern? I thought you were at
    the first-class mage exam.
[02:48] Fern
    The first test is over.
    We returned last night.
[02:52] Fern
    Mr. Stark, you know it's evening, don't you?
[02:56] Stark
    What?
[02:59] Fern
    You were asleep, weren't you?
[03:03] Fern
    Did you stay up all night?
[03:07] Stark
    Yes.
[03:08] Fern
    What else?
[03:10] Stark
    I drank juice in the middle of the night.
[03:14] Stark
    Sorry! I'm sorry, okay?
[03:17] Frieren
    Uh-oh. You made her angry.
[03:20] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you only just woke up, too.
[03:24] Frieren
    Caught in the crossfire.
[03:29] Frieren
    Looks like we'll be spending
    the day making Fern happy.
[03:32] Stark
    What should we do?
[03:34] Frieren
    Let's get something good to eat.
[03:37] Stark
    Something good?
[03:39] Frieren
    It's a bit expensive,
[03:40] Frieren
    but I found a nice place when I came here
    before with Himmel and the others.
[03:44] Stark
    Wasn't that over eighty years ago?
    Will it still be there?
[04:06] Old Woman
    Oh, my.
[04:08] Old Woman
    The lantern lit up.
[04:10] Richter
    I told you it was an easy fix.
[04:13] Old Woman
    Thank you as always, Richter.
[04:16] Richter
    Sure thing.
[04:17] Old Woman
    I know. You're welcome to have these.
[04:21] Old Woman
    I'll see you later.
[04:30] Richter
    Grandma, I'm not a kid anymore.
[04:33] Richter
    I'm a middle-aged man.
[04:35] Old Woman
    To an old woman like me,
    you're still a child.
[04:39] Old Woman
    You like those, don't you?
[04:53] Richter
    Sorry, but the shop is closed.
[04:56] Richter
    A crazy old man dragged me into a fistfight.
[05:01] Richter
    I need to rest.
[05:03] Denken
    Sounds rough, Richter.
[05:07] Denken
    Why don't we get something
    to eat together, then?
[05:09] Denken
    There's a restaurant we're looking for,
[05:12] Denken
    but Laufen and I don't know the area.
[05:16] Richter
    Laufen, what are you doing
    with Denken, anyway?
[05:21] Richter
    And where'd you get that thing you're eating?
[05:23] Laufen
    The old man bought these for me.
[05:25] Laufen
    I'm not sharing.
[05:26] Richter
    What are you, his granddaughter?
[05:29] Richter
    Now, leave. We're no longer a party.
[05:34] Denken
    You don't know how to get
    along in the world, do you?
[05:37] Denken
    If you intend to live as a mage, then
    ingratiating yourself to me wouldn't hurt.
[05:44] Richter
    There are plenty of places
    to eat around here.
[05:47] Richter
    Just choose one.
[05:49] Denken
    My wife and I...
[05:51] Denken
    Before she passed away,
    we visited a restaurant together.
[05:55] Denken
    I've never forgotten the taste of their food.
[06:00] Richter
    You'd better be paying.
[06:03] Denken
    Of course I am.
[06:04] Denken
    I told you, it can't hurt.
[06:37] Übel
    Four-eyes.
[06:40] Land
    Übel.
[06:41] Übel
    It's nice to finally meet you.
[06:44] Übel
    You don't use a clone when you're in town?
[06:47] Land
    If you just want to make small talk,
    do you mind if we walk?
[06:50] Übel
    That's fine, but if you try to run
    away from me, I might kill you.
[06:57] Land
    Can I ask you something?
[07:02] Land
    You don't think anything
    of killing people, do you?
[07:09] Land
    Why didn't you kill Wirbel?
[07:12] Land
    You had the opportunity, didn't you?
[07:14] Übel
    You were watching?
[07:16] Übel
    Nothing gets past you, huh?
[07:22] Übel
    It's hard to explain.
[07:25] (Flashback) Übel
    I'm surprised.
[07:27] (Flashback) Übel
    Your hands are already drenched in blood,
    and yet you still want to remain human.
[07:33] (Flashback) Wirbel
    That's right. I use this time
    to prepare myself to kill.
[07:39] Übel
    Maybe it's because I empathized with him.
[07:43] Übel
    It made me want to put off
    the killing blow, too.
[07:49] Land/Id
    I can't move. What is this?
[07:53] Übel
    Sorganeil.
[07:55] Übel
    It's a spell that binds whoever I'm looking at.
[07:58] Übel
    The magic a person specializes in
    is strongly related to their life and nature.
[08:06] Übel
    I've always been this way.
[08:09] Übel
    Empathizing with someone
    allows me to use their spells,
[08:13] Übel
    and I can't use the spells of anyone
    I can't empathize with.
[08:17] Übel
    Four-eyes, your clones are such
    perfect copies of yourself
[08:21] Übel
    that they're capable of everything you are.
[08:24] Übel
    What goes through that head of yours?
    What kind of life have you led?
[08:29] Übel
    Tell me.
[08:31] Land
    I see.
[08:34] Land
    You use magic by feel.
[08:37] Land
    The type of mage who casts spells without
    understanding the principles behind them.
[08:45] Land
    I don't like dim-witted people like you.
[08:50] Übel
    That doesn't answer my question.
[08:52] Land
    I'm saying I won't tell you
    because I don't like you.
[08:58] Land
    I don't mind if you kill me,
[09:01] Land
    though you'll never get another chance
    to empathize with me if you do.
[09:12] Übel
    I'll pass. I think I understand you
    a little better now.
[09:18] Land
    Oh?
[09:19] Übel
    I think I'd like to know more.
[09:25] Übel
    Where were you headed?
[09:28] Land
    Who knows? Don't follow me.
[09:32] Denken
    This is it.
[09:34] Richter
    You've got a good eye, Denken.
[09:37] Richter
    This is the best restaurant in town.
[09:40] Richter
    I come here all the time.
[09:42] Denken
    My wife and I visited
    this place fifty years ago.
[09:46] Denken
    Looks like it hasn't changed.
[09:51] Denken
    How curious.
[09:58] Fern
    Really?
[10:00] Fern
    You're sure I can order
    as many desserts as I want?
[10:04] Frieren
    Sure.
[10:05] Ritcher
    Denken, it's Frieren.
[10:07] Stark
    What should I get?
[10:09] Frieren
    I recommend...
[10:11] Fern
    It's not my birthday.
    Can I really indulge myself like this?
[10:15] Denken
    Leave them be. They look
    like they're having fun.
[10:19] Denken
    Meals should be enjoyed.
[10:22] Denken
    We're here for the same reason, after all.
[10:35] Frieren
    All right. Time to stuff myself.
[10:38] Stark
    That's a ton of food, huh?
[10:39] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you like to eat like
    this sometimes, don't you?
[10:48] (Flashback) Lecker
    Thank you for returning the heirloom knife
    the demons took from me.
[10:54] (Flashback) Lecker
    I, Lecker, the greatest chef of the century,
[10:57] (Flashback) Lecker
    shall provide you with the ultimate service
    and reward you however I can.
[11:02] (Flashback) Heiter
    That's a lot of food, isn't it?
[11:04] (Flashback) Frieren
    The food here is good.
[11:07] (Flashback) Frieren
    We'd better savor everything we can.
[11:09] (Flashback) Himmel
    You still don't need to eat so much at once.
[11:11] (Flashback) Himmel
    There's always next time.
[11:13] (Flashback) Frieren
    I thought so, too, but there are many flavors
    I've never been able to experience again.
[11:20] (Flashback) Lecker
    Don't worry, Ms. Frieren.
[11:24] (Flashback) Lecker
    This restaurant's flavors will live on
    through future generations.
[11:28] (Flashback) Lecker
    They'll still be around 100
    or even 200 years from now.
[11:33] (Flashback) Frieren
    I see. It's interesting, isn't it?
    All chefs say that.
[11:39] (Flashback) Frieren
    Then they try to leave their mark
    by changing the flavors of past dishes.
[11:45] (Flashback) Himmel
    If that happens, we can simply find
    even more delicious flavors.
[11:50] (Flashback) Lecker
    Forgive me, Mr. Himmel, but there are
    no flavors in this world greater than mine.
[11:56] (Flashback) Himmel
    Then you'd better make sure
    they last into the future.
[11:59] (Flashback) Himmel
    That's the reward I ask for this job.
[12:06] (Flashback) Lecker
    If that is your wish, Hero, then I shall do
    what no chef has done before.
[12:20] Stark
    Frieren, this is really good!
[12:23] Fern
    Does anyone deserve to be this happy?
[12:33] Frieren
    Seriously? Despite all he said,
    the flavors have changed.
[12:39] Frieren
    But now I don't have to
    look for tastier flavors.
[12:45] Frieren
    It's way better now than it was back then.
[12:53] Stark
    It really is good.
[12:56] Fern
    You have food on your cheek, Mr. Stark.
[12:59] Denken
    You must eat your vegetables, too.
[13:01] Richter
    You're totally acting like her grandfather.
[13:04] Übel
    Huh. You're a lighter eater than I expected.
[13:08] Land
    What's wrong with that?
[13:11] Fern
    That was delicious, Ms. Frieren.
[13:17] Frieren
    I'm glad she's in a better mood.
[13:20] Stark
    By the way, how's our money situation?
[13:24] Frieren
    I used up my savings.
[13:29] Old Man
    This is the state of nothingness.
[13:33] Old Man
    You've arrived at the essence of martial arts.
[13:38] Old Man
    There is nothing left for me to teach you.
[13:53] Frieren
    Who was that old man?
[13:55] Stark
    I don't know.
[13:57] Stark
    He comes to talk to me when I'm training.
[14:00] Frieren
    You seem to attract a lot of weird people.
[14:03] Frieren
    Well, whatever. Do you have a minute?
[14:06] Frieren
    I'd like your help with something.
[14:09] Stark
    What happened?
[14:13] Stark
    The heck? She's super pissed off.
[14:16] Stark
    She's in an even worse mood than yesterday.
[14:18] Frieren
    I know.
[14:19] Stark
    What did you do?
[14:21] Frieren
    It was my turn to go shopping today,
    but I overslept.
[14:25] Stark
    You do that all the time.
    Why would she get mad about it now?
[14:29] Frieren
    Fern is the type to let things
    build up until she explodes.
[14:33] Stark
    What happens when she explodes?
[14:36] Frieren
    She gives me the silent treatment.
[14:39] Stark
    Do you have to fight like children?
[14:41] Frieren
    Please, Stark. I need you to mediate for us.
[14:44] Frieren
    She won't talk to me.
[14:47] Stark
    What? No way. I'm too scared.
[14:52] Frieren
    You're right. Sorry.
    That was an unreasonable ask.
[15:02] Stark
    Listen, Ms. Fern.
    She's sorry for what she did.
[15:10] Fern
    I want to eat.
[15:11] Stark
    What?
[15:14] Fern
    I want to eat snacks.
[15:20] Stark
    She's such a pain in the butt.
[15:23] Stark
    Then let's go buy some together.
[15:26] Frieren
    I wonder if I've got any savings left.
[15:36] Kanne
    Huh? Isn't he...
[15:39] Kanne
    Wirbel of the Northern Magic Corps, right?
[15:44] Wirbel
    You're a warrior, aren't you?
[15:46] Youngster
    Huh? What do you want?
[15:49] Scharf
    What do you think?
[15:51] Youngster
    Huh? What?
[15:55] Wirbel
    He won't do.
[16:00] Kanne
    I wonder what he's up to.
[16:03] Lawine
    Thanks for waiting, Kanne.
[16:07] Kanne
    You're looking cuter than ever, Lawine.
[16:11] Lawine
    My brothers are home
    from the imperial capital.
[16:17] Lawine
    They always buy crap I don't need.
[16:21] Lawine
    I'm not their dress-up doll.
[16:24] Lawine
    My mom's really into it, too.
[16:26] Lawine
    She made no effort to stop them.
[16:30] Kanne
    You're even more spoiled than me.
[16:33] Lawine
    If that's what you think,
    then let's trade places.
[16:35] Lawine
    It's hell being compared
    to my talented brothers.
[16:39] Lawine
    Come on, let's go. This outfit is so stifling.
[16:47] Kanne
    Then allow me to escort you today,
    Little Miss Lawine.
[16:57] Kanne
    Ow, ow! You're gonna rip them off!
[17:21] Stark
    Um, Ms. Fern. What would you like?
[17:26] Fern
    Anything is fine. You can choose, Mr. Stark.
[17:32] Stark
    She only says that when
    she wants something specific.
[17:36] Stark
    What should we do?
[17:38] Frieren
    Don't ask me.
[17:44] Lawine
    Hey, isn't that Frieren?
[17:47] Kanne
    Yeah.
[17:51] Kanne
    I'm glad we ran into you.
[17:53] Kanne
    We were just thinking about
    visiting you at the inn.
[17:56] Stark
    Who are they?
[17:58] Frieren
    We were in the same party
    during the first test.
[18:01] Kanne
    Frieren was really helpful.
[18:06] Kanne
    Also, she was like a teacher.
[18:09] Stark
    Oh?
[18:10] Frieren
    Because you two wouldn't stop fighting.
[18:12] Kanne
    It's Lawine's fault.
[18:15] Kanne
    Ow, ow!
[18:15] Stark
    I don't feel comfortable
    being surrounded by girls.
[18:17] Frieren
    Now, now.
[18:18] Wirbel
    Hey.
[18:19] Stark
    What?
[18:19] Wirbel
    You're a warrior, aren't you?
[18:21] Stark
    Huh?
[18:23] Stark
    What? H-Hey...
[18:25] Stark
    Stop. Wh-What's this about?
[18:29] Wirbel
    You're great.
[18:31] Stark
    What's going on?!
[18:34] Wirbel
    The Continental Magic Association
[18:36] Wirbel
    has hired me to eliminate a Fresser
    that's been ravaging crops.
[18:40] Wirbel
    I'm looking for a front-liner.
[18:42] Wirbel
    We met during the test, right?
[18:44] Wirbel
    Is he your friend? Can I borrow him?
[18:47] Fern
    Go right ahead.
[18:48] Stark
    How could you?!
[18:51] Stark
    How could you?
[18:51] Kanne
    He's taking your friend away.
    Are you okay with this?
[18:54] Fern
    It'll be fine. He had no ill intentions.
[18:58] Fern
    I could hardly believe he was the same person.
[19:00] Lawine
    He's probably the type who can
    turn it on and off for work.
[19:03] Lawine
    My brothers are like that, too.
[19:07] Kanne
    Here, Frieren.
[19:09] Kanne
    Thank you.
[19:12] Frieren
    I didn't do anything to deserve your thanks.
[19:16] Lawine
    No.
[19:18] Lawine
    If not for you, we wouldn't have
    advanced to the second test.
[19:22] Kanne
    Thank you.
[19:26] (Flashback) Girl
    Thank you, Mr. Himmel.
[19:30] (Flashback) Himmel
    There's nothing to worry about now.
[19:32] (Flashback) Girl
    Yeah.
[19:33] (Flashback) Himmel
    Go on. Your parents are waiting for you.
[19:36] (Flashback) Girl
    Okay.
[19:44] (Flashback) Frieren
    Himmel, why do you help people?
[19:47] (Flashback) Himmel
    Because I'm a hero.
[19:49] (Flashback) Frieren
    That's not what I meant.
[19:53] (Flashback) Himmel
    Well, maybe I do it for myself.
[19:58] (Flashback) Himmel
    Maybe it's because I want
    people to remember me.
[20:07] (Flashback) Himmel
    To live is to be known
    and remembered by others.
[20:14] (Flashback) Frieren
    What should I do to be remembered?
[20:19] (Flashback) Himmel
    Change someone's life,
    even just in a small way.
[20:25] (Flashback) Himmel
    That's probably enough.
[20:36] Kanne
    Anyway, then Lawine...
[20:40] Lawine
    No, that was you, Kanne.
[20:43] Kanne
    What? Is that right?
[20:45] Lawine
    There was that other time, too. Remember?
[20:49] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, these sweets
    they gave us are really good.
[20:53] Frieren
    You're finally feeling better.
[20:56] Lawine
    Come to think of it, Frieren struggled
    to get up on the morning of the second day.
[21:00] Frieren
    Don't talk about that.
    You'll sour her mood again.
[21:04] Fern
    Hmph.
[21:06] Lawine
    Frieren.
[21:08] Lawine
    Typically, the first-class mage exam
    consists of three tests.
[21:13] Lawine
    Next time, we'll be enemies.
[21:15] Frieren
    That's true.
[21:26] Frieren
    What's that?
[21:27] Fern
    It's a notification of the next test.
[21:30] Fern
    There's the location and date
    of the second test,
[21:32] Fern
    as well as the proctor's name.
[21:36] Lawine
    The proctor is Sense, huh?
    Our luck just ran out.
[21:39] Kanne
    Aw, man. And after we passed
    the first test and everything.
[21:43] Fern
    What do you mean?
[21:46] Lawine
    Sense has proctored four tests in the past.
[21:50] Lawine
    Not a single person passed any of them.
[22:23] Stark
    This meat is good.
[22:25] Wirbel
    You're incredible. You demonstrated
    the essence of martial arts!
[22:33] Genau
    You've put together a dreadful test.
[22:38] Sense
    You think so?
[22:40] Sense
    I'm a pacifist, Genau,
[22:45] Sense
    unlike you.
[22:50] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    And I'm alright (I'll be alright)
[22:53] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Yeah, I hear you (I care about you)
[22:56] [SONG] Ed Lyrics

[24:12] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I'm whispering our lullaby
    for you to come back home
[24:19] Wirbel
    I wasn't expecting to encounter these here.
[24:20] Laufen
    It's a gargoyle!
[24:21] Fern
    It's a mimic.
[24:21] Richter
    Brutal. It doesn't even leave bones behind.
[24:22] Ton
    I can't agree to that.
[24:23] Denken
    It must be the work of demons or monsters.
[24:24] Frieren
    We'll proceed with caution
    while mapping the dungeon.

    They must be terrifyingly powerful.

    To the eighteen of you
    who passed the first test...
SIGN    Second Test Proctor
SIGN    Sense, First-Class Mage
[00:10] Sense
    First, congratulations on making it here.
[00:14] Sense
    I hear people speculate all kinds of things
    about my tests based on past results.
[00:23] Sense
    I'm sure there are some of you
    who have heard such rumors,
[00:27] Sense
    but you needn't prepare
    yourselves for the worst.
[00:30] Sense
    The test is very simple.
[00:33] Sense
    Anyone who wishes to become a first-class
    mage should be able to pass it with ease.
[00:39] Sense
    Now, allow me to explain
    the details of the second test.
[00:54] [SONG] Op Lyrics

SIGN    Episode 23: Conquering the Labyrinth
[02:19] Sense
    For the second test,
    you will be raiding a dungeon.
[02:22] Sense
    You will raid the Ruins of the King's Tomb.
[02:27] Sense
    There is only one condition for passing:
    you must reach the deepest floor of the tomb.
[02:35] Sense
    I am a pacifist. I dislike fighting.
[02:39] Sense
    Therefore, everyone who reaches
    the bottom will pass.
[02:43] Blei
    Wait.
[02:45] Blei
    Many adventurers have failed to return
    from this unexplored dungeon.
[02:50] Blei
    Are you planning to fail
    all the test-takers again?
[02:53] Sense
    What are you talking about?
[02:55] Sense
    You are attempting to reach
    the pinnacle of magehood.
[03:00] Sense
    First-class mages make
    the impossible possible.
[03:04] Sense
    You must forge ahead, regardless of whether
    or not anyone's been there before you.
[03:10] Methode
    How should we prove we've reached the bottom?
[03:15] Methode
    Should we return with treasure?
[03:18] Sense
    You won't need to prove it.
[03:20] Sense
    I will descend to the bottom
    of the dungeon with you.
[03:24] Sense
    Naturally, I will not be
    assisting the test-takers.
[03:28] Sense
    Also, each of you will receive
    one of these bottles.
[03:34] Sense
    It's an escape golem developed
    by the first-class mage Lernen.
[03:40] Sense
    When the bottle is shattered,
[03:42] Sense
    the golem will manifest
    and carry you out of the dungeon.
[03:46] Sense
    They're still prototypes,
    but they're safe enough.
[03:49] Sense
    Using your bottle means you fail the test,
[03:52] Sense
    but I urge you to do so if you become unable
    to continue due to injuries or otherwise.
[03:57] Sense
    I have no intention of allowing mages
    with promising futures to die here.
[04:01] Sense
    Also, the bottles will shatter
    automatically at dawn tomorrow.
[04:07] Sense
    That is the time limit of the second test.
[04:12] Sense
    Now, let the test begin.
[04:35] Richter
    There are multiple entrances.
[04:38] Denken
    This seems to be a dungeon
    of the Unified Dynasty.
[04:41] Denken
    Dungeons of that era have multiple entrances,
[04:45] Denken
    but they all lead to the deepest level.
[04:48] Denken
    Examining the entrances should allow us
[04:50] Denken
    to determine the internal
    structure of the dungeon.
[04:54] Denken
    The group should split up and—
[04:56] Ton
    Why are you acting like
    we're working together?
[05:04] Denken
    There's no reason for us to fight this time.
[05:08] Denken
    It's better for all of us to cooperate.
[05:11] Ton
    I can't agree to that.
[05:15] Ton
    Unlike in the first test, our companions'
    survival isn't a condition for passing the test.
[05:20] Ton
    We're not obligated to help each other,
[05:24] Ton
    and we even risk becoming someone's
    sacrificial pawn if the need arises.
[05:28] Ton
    You in particular seem
    knowledgeable about dungeons.
[05:33] Ton
    I'm going alone.
[05:48] Wirbel
    We're all carrying baggage from the first test.
[05:52] Wirbel
    At the very least, I can't work
    with anyone I don't know well.
[05:59] Wirbel
    Let's go.
[06:01] Ehre
    Wait for me.
[06:08] Denken
    Those fools. Why don't they realize
    working together is better?
[06:14] Frieren
    Let's go, Fern.
[06:16] Fern
    Are you sure, Ms. Frieren?
[06:19] Frieren
    There's no chance of everyone
    working together anymore.
[06:28] Sense
    I see.
[06:31] Sense
    I shall accompany your group.
[06:35] Sense
    You seem like you'll have the
    safest time reaching the bottom.
[06:40] Frieren
    You'd better not interfere.
[06:42] Sense
    I shall neither interfere nor assist you.
[06:53] Frieren
    This is the safest route.
[06:58] Frieren
    We'll proceed with caution
    while mapping the dungeon.
[07:13] Frieren
    The floor there is trapped. Be careful.
[07:23] Fern
    You always know so much about dungeons.
[07:27] Frieren
    I didn't always.
[07:31] Frieren
    It was Himmel who loved dungeons.
[07:34] Frieren
    We entered so many of them
    to hunt down monsters.
[07:39] Fern
    What do you mean, he loved dungeons?
[07:43] Frieren
    It's exactly what it sounds like.
[07:45] Frieren
    He said they excited him.
[07:48] Frieren
    It doesn't make sense, does it?
[07:53] (Flashback) Eisen
    These stairs lead to the next floor.
[07:58] (Flashback) Himmel
    I see. Then we chose the wrong route.
[08:02] (Flashback) Himmel
    Let's head back to the last branch.
[08:04] (Flashback) Heiter
    Indeed.
[08:07] (Flashback) Eisen
    Why? We're looking for the monster
    at the bottom of the dungeon.
[08:12] (Flashback) Himmel
    When will you learn, Eisen?
[08:16] (Flashback) Himmel
    In a dungeon, one must explore the entire
    floor before proceeding to the next one.
[08:21] (Flashback) Himmel
    Every adventurer knows that.
[08:23] (Flashback) Eisen
    I've never heard that before.
[08:26] (Flashback) Himmel
    You think I'm being foolish, don't you?
[08:31] (Flashback) Himmel
    But isn't it best to be able to have fun
    while helping people?
[08:35] (Flashback) Frieren
    It won't always be like this.
[08:38] (Flashback) Frieren
    As we travel, the dungeons will
    become more life-threatening.
[08:41] (Flashback) Eisen
    That's right.
[08:43] (Flashback) Himmel
    I intend to enjoy it until the end.
[08:45] (Flashback) Himmel
    I'll have fun adventuring, raiding dungeons,
[08:48] (Flashback) Himmel
    defeating monsters, finding treasure,
[08:52] (Flashback) Himmel
    and before I know it,
    I'll have saved the world.
[08:56] (Flashback) Himmel
    That's the kind of adventure I want to have.
[09:00] (Flashback) Himmel
    Besides...
[09:02] (Flashback) Himmel
    There might be a rare grimoire
    down the path left untraveled.
[09:06] (Flashback) Frieren
    What are you doing? Let's hurry back.
[09:09] (Flashback) Himmel
    What?
[09:11] Frieren
    It really doesn't make sense, does it?
[09:28] Lawine
    Kanne, let's go.
[09:43] Richter
    In the end, only the five of us stayed.
[09:46] Denken
    We could've beaten the dungeon easily
[09:50] Denken
    if we'd all worked together
    and assigned roles.
[09:54] Denken
    We had enough skilled mages to make it happen.
[09:58] Richter
    Denken, not everyone is as pragmatic as you.
[10:03] Richter
    It's like what you said
    toward the end of the first test.
[10:10] Richter
    It must not have sat right with them.
[10:13] Richter
    Think of it this way:
    only the smartest have remained.
[10:17] Richter
    At the very least,
[10:20] Richter
    there aren't any idiots here to hold us back
    by falling for simple traps like mimics.
[10:25] Richter
    Isn't that good enough, Denken?
[10:27] Denken
    I doubt anyone that foolish would
    be taking this test to begin with.
[10:32] Denken
    Let's go.
[10:43] Frieren
    This mana...
[10:46] Frieren
    It might be a grimoire.
[10:48] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you saw the results
    of that Mikheit spell.
[10:53] Fern
    It's a mimic.
[10:56] Frieren
    Fern, that spell is only 99% accurate.
[11:01] Fern
    And what if it is?
[11:03] Frieren
    Historical discoveries have been made by
    great mages who recognized that remaining 1%.
[11:16] Frieren
    It's just as I thought.
[11:19] Frieren
    There's a valuable grimoire inside here.
[11:23] Frieren
    That's what my experience
    as a mage is telling me.
[11:33] Frieren
    It's dark and scary in here!
[11:38] Frieren
    It's dark! I'm scared!
[11:41] Frieren
    It's dark and scary!
[11:56] Sense
    Maybe I chose the wrong people to follow.
[12:09] Denken
    Don't step on the floor in the center.
[12:11] Denken
    The ceiling will come crashing down on you.
[12:17] Laufen
    Is that person-shaped stain there...
[12:20] Richter
    Brutal. It doesn't even leave bones behind.
[12:45] Laufen
    Gargoyles!
[13:44] Richter
    Denken, someone got trapped.
[13:47] Denken
    I know.
[13:48] Richter
    She's on the other side of the wall.
[13:51] Denken
    Stand back.
[14:00] Denken
    It didn't work.
[14:02] Denken
    Then we have no choice.
[14:03] Denken
    Break your bottle!
[14:22] Laufen
    Wow.
[14:23] Denken
    We're already down another test-taker.
[14:29] Denken
    Letting your guard down for a moment
    here could cost you your life.
[14:34] Denken
    So these are the Ruins of the King's Tomb.
[14:47] Frieren
    Hey, Fern. Can I make a suggestion?
[14:51] Frieren
    Stop pulling. You're going to rip me in half.
[14:54] Fern
    Okay.
[14:57] Frieren
    To save someone from a mimic,
    you should push in instead.
[15:01] Frieren
    It makes the mimic choke and stop biting.
[15:05] Fern
    Is it a dog or something?
[15:10] Frieren
    I'm safe.
[15:14] Fern
    Honestly.
[15:15] Fern
    How did you get out of those
    when you were by yourself?
[15:19] Frieren
    By blowing them up from the inside
    with offensive magic.
[15:23] Frieren
    But I don't like to do it
    since it makes my hair frizz up.
[15:26] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm back.
[15:28] (Flashback) Frieren
    I have ringlets now.
[15:31] Fern
    So that's why you'd sometimes
    have a different hairstyle.
[15:35] (Flashback) Fern
    Why?
[15:37] Frieren
    Let's pull ourselves together and keep going.
[15:50] Frieren
    Gargoyles.
[15:52] Frieren
    We'll defeat them before they start moving.
[15:58] Fern
    We've been seeing these
    medals all over the place.
[16:01] Frieren
    Apparently some dilettante collects them.
[16:09] Frieren
    This looks like the main route.
    Let's turn back.
[16:12] Fern
    Why?
[16:18] Fern
    We're progressing more
    smoothly than I expected.
[16:20] Frieren
    It does seem a bit odd
    for an unexplored dungeon.
[16:24] Frieren
    Judging by its construction,
    we should be nearing the bottom, too.
[16:28] Frieren
    Either way, don't let your guard down.
[16:31] Frieren
    Let's take a break in the
    next burial chamber we find.
[16:38] Frieren
    We've acquired some pretty nice stuff.
[16:40] Fern
    It just looks like junk to me.
[16:43] Sense
    Huh.
[16:48] Sense
    I don't get it.
[16:50] Fern
    Neither do I.
[16:52] Fern
    Why do those things make her happy?
[16:56] Fern
    She's rubbing it on her cheek.
[17:00] Sense
    You're the one I don't understand, Fern.
[17:04] Sense
    I've never seen a mage
    as skilled as you at your age.
[17:09] Sense
    You must have trained rather hard.
[17:12] Sense
    And yet I sense no passion
    or determination in you.
[17:15] Sense
    You're a strange girl.
[17:20] Fern
    I became a proper mage
    to repay a debt to someone.
[17:29] Fern
    That was my life's goal at the time.
[17:33] Fern
    I devoted all my effort to achieving it
[17:35] Fern
    without considering anything
    that would come after that.
[17:40] Fern
    I must've used up all my passion
    and determination then.
[17:48] Sense
    Then why do you continue
    searching for magic?
[17:55] Fern
    Ms. Frieren seems to be
    having fun, doesn't she?
[17:58] Sense
    Yes.
[18:01] Fern
    The first time I entered a dungeon,
[18:04] Fern
    Ms. Frieren joyfully smiled
    while collecting magic junk.
[18:15] Fern
    It made me smile, too.
[18:18] Fern
    I think I continue searching for magic
    because I like seeing her happy.
[18:29] Fern
    We should get going.
[18:36] Sense
    Looks like I was right
    to follow you after all.
[18:41] Sense
    I'm sure you can enjoy
    even this brutal dungeon.
[19:10] Scharf
    The atmosphere has changed.
[19:12] Wirbel
    Maybe we're near the bottom.
[19:18] Ehre
    Wirbel.
[19:19] Wirbel
    What? Can't walk any—
[19:21] Ehre
    I'm restrained.
[19:23] Ehre
    There are three mages concealing their mana.
[19:26] Ehre
    It's an ambush.
[19:27] Wirbel
    Oh?
[19:33] Wirbel
    Scharf, block their vision.
[19:35] Wirbel
    The spell cast on Ehre is Sorganeil.
[19:37] Scharf
    I know.
[19:54] Wirbel
    No wonder the Ruins of the King's Tomb
    have never been conquered.
[20:00] Wirbel
    I wasn't expecting to encounter these here.
[20:05] Wirbel
    Scharf, you're on me.
[20:07] Wirbel
    Ehre, you're on Scharf.
[20:09] Wirbel
    And I'll take on Ehre.
[20:13] Wirbel
    Let's do this.
[20:55] Denken
    It's a replica made using magic.
[20:59] Denken
    It must be the work of demons or monsters.
[21:03] Denken
    But I've never seen such a perfect copy
    of another person before.
[21:08] Denken
    Its mana and skills were
    the same as yours, Laufen.
[21:13] Denken
    So was its behavior.
[21:14] Denken
    It's possible even our memories were used.
[21:19] Laufen
    I don't like this.
[21:22] Richter
    The one saving grace is that it's
    instantly recognizable as a fake.
[21:28] Richter
    At the very least, there's no danger
    of us attacking each other.
[21:32] Methode
    If whoever cast this spell can control
    multiple copies simultaneously,
[21:38] Methode
    they must be terrifyingly powerful.
[21:43] Denken
    Either way, we were right to team up.
[21:50] Denken
    It gives us more options
    for dealing with them.
[22:18] Richter
    Denken, can we deal with that, too?
[22:27] Denken
    The one thing I can say
    is that if this weren't a test,
[22:32] Denken
    I would've shattered my bottle
    a long time ago.
[22:50] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    And I'm alright (I'll be alright)
[22:53] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Yeah, I hear you (I care about you)
[22:56] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    The wind teases this hair that's longer now
[23:01] [SONG] Ed Lyrics

    Why? They begin to overflow
[23:25] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I won't ask to see you, so at least
[23:31] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Let me remember the past, just for today
[23:37] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    So, if we were to meet again
[23:43] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    No more hesitations, I'd choose the present
[23:50] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Anytime, anywhere, yah (wherever you are)

    Anytime, anywhere (smile for me)
[23:57] [SONG] Ed Lyrics

    I'm always aware of your thoughts
[24:06] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Those tears will be alright,
    dawn will surely break
[24:12] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I'm whispering our lullaby
    for you to come back home
[24:20] Denken
    Now then, what are we going to do about this?
[24:20] Frieren
    Smells nice.
[24:21] Edel
    It's time.
[24:22] Übel/Id
    If we're evenly matched,
[24:23] Land
    That's not funny.
[24:24] Übel/Id
    then who wins will come down to luck.
[24:24] Methode
    Could you please look into my eyes?
[24:25] Blei
    So it's not impossible.
[24:26] Dünste
    How much time do you need?

SIGN    Episode 24: Perfect Replicas
[02:27] Genau
    We call the lord of the dungeon
    "Spiegel the Water-Mirror Fiend."
[02:36] Genau
    It is a monster from a mythical era that
    appears in Ewig the Sage's heroic tales.
[02:43] Genau
    We believe the Spiegel reads the memories
    of those who enter the dungeon
[02:48] Genau
    and creates perfect replicas of its targets.
[02:54] Genau
    There are similar monsters in the
    modern era such as the Einsam,
[03:00] Genau
    but the Spiegel's perfect replicas
    have physical substance
[03:06] Genau
    and copy the target's
    abilities, mana, and skills.
[03:11] Genau
    It is the reason the Ruins of the King's Tomb
    remain unconquered to this day.
[03:15] Falsch
    Why did Sense choose
    this dungeon for her test?
[03:19] Genau
    A person is evenly matched
    against their copy.
[03:22] Genau
    Defeating them without suffering casualties
[03:25] Genau
    requires cool-headed
    self-analysis and teamwork.
[03:33] Genau
    It's exactly the kind of test a pacifist
    like her would put together.
[03:46] Denken
    This isn't good.
[03:48] Denken
    We should retreat.
[03:58] Richter
    Denken!
[04:01] Denken
    Now then, what are we going to do about this?
[04:13] Übel
    It's a dead end.
[04:15] Übel
    We're cornered.
[04:28] Übel
    Four-eyes, could I get your opinion
    as a cloning magic specialist?
[04:35] Land
    I told you, my name is Land.
[04:39] Land
    But ask away.
[04:46] Übel
    How perfect a copy of me
    do you think that replica is?
[04:52] Land
    Übel, you're chatty even
    during combat, aren't you?
[04:59] Land
    It's like you'd die if you stopped talking.
[05:03] Übel
    You've been watching me closely.
[05:06] Übel
    Yeah, that's true. I'd probably die.
[05:12] Übel
    And yet it's so quiet.
[05:16] Übel
    Does that mean it hasn't copied
    my memories or personality?
[05:21] Land
    No, it's probably just incapable of speaking.
[05:25] Land
    During the initial attack,
    it swiped my escape golem bottle.
[05:38] Übel
    I see. That is what I would do.
[05:42] Land
    It knows about us, too.
[05:46] Land
    It's not attacking despite cornering us
    because it's wary of your Sorganeil.
[05:55] Übel
    Either that, or it's enjoying tormenting us.
[06:01] Land
    That's not funny.
[06:05] Übel
    You're bleeding a lot.
[06:09] Übel
    You know, you won't last long like this.
[06:13] Land
    You're right.
[06:16] Übel
    Can I ask you one last question?
[06:20] Übel
    Are you the real one?
[06:25] Land
    Who knows?
[06:28] Übel
    Uh-huh.
[06:35] Übel
    Use my bottle.
[06:40] Land
    But you need that to survive.
[06:43] Übel
    Oh, yeah?
[06:47] Übel
    In that case, wait here, four-eyes.
[06:52] Übel
    I'm going to get your bottle back.
[06:55] Land
    Hey, wait—
[07:02] Übel
    I expected it to close the gap.
[07:06] Übel
    I need to see its entire body
    in order to cast Sorganeil.
[07:14] Übel
    Whoever miscalculates the distance first
    will lose this battle.
[07:23] Übel
    If we're evenly matched,
    then who wins will come down to luck.
[07:28] Übel
    I've always been unlucky,
    so I don't like luck-based contests.
[07:37] Übel
    So I have no desire to fight myself.
[07:41] Übel
    You must really want to die.
[07:55] Übel
    My luck always sucks.
[07:57] Übel
    That's why I didn't want to do this.
[08:01] Übel
    But...
[08:03] Übel
    It looks like your luck was worse.
[08:08] Übel
    You were quicker than I expected, four-eyes.
[08:21] Übel
    Huh. So the bottle was fake, too.
[08:35] Land
    Übel, you knew that it was a clone
    of me that was dying.
[08:40] Land
    Why did you rush to your death?
[08:43] Übel
    Because I knew you'd come for me.
[08:47] Land
    Do I seem that kind to you?
[08:51] Übel
    No, not at all. Not that it matters.
[08:57] Übel
    You didn't accept my bottle.
[09:05] Übel
    You don't want anyone to die
    because of you, right?
[09:09] Übel
    So I created a situation where
    my death would be your fault.
[09:17] Übel
    Thanks, four-eyes.
[09:20] Übel
    I think I learned something else about you.
[09:23] Land
    I see. Good for you.
[09:26] Land
    Are you able to empathize with me yet?
[09:30] Übel
    It'll take a little longer.
[09:38] Frieren
    I think we're pretty close to the bottom.
[09:44] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, there are stairs over there.
[09:50] Frieren
    Fern, let me see the map.
[09:55] Fern
    I believe we've fully explored this floor.
[10:10] Frieren
    There's a hidden room behind this wall.
[10:14] Frieren
    There's probably treasure there.
[10:17] Frieren
    I've got a feeling there's a
    rare grimoire hidden inside.
[10:24] Fern
    But we didn't come across anything
    that looked like an entrance.
[10:29] Frieren
    You're right.
[10:34] Frieren
    But based on the structure,
    I'm certain there's a room here.
[11:31] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, this is incredible.
[11:42] Sense
    It depicts the achievements
    of the king buried here.
[11:47] Sense
    I've never seen such a well-preserved
    mural of the Unified Dynasty era.
[11:54] Sense
    This is a valuable discovery.
[11:59] Fern
    It's magnificent.
[12:15] Fern
    Our progress has been unnaturally smooth.
[12:19] Fern
    Are we really going to pass
    without incident?
[12:23] Frieren
    Maybe.
[12:30] Frieren
    What are you all doing here?
[12:34] Denken
    Structurally speaking, the bottom of this
    labyrinth should be beyond this hall.
[12:40] Frieren
    And?
[12:43] Denken
    It's been half a day since that
    thing took up position there.
[12:53] Frieren
    Huh. This is getting interesting.
[12:56] Frieren
    Now this is how conquering
    a dungeon should be.
[13:04] Frieren
    A perfect replica, huh?
[13:08] Frieren
    That thing does seem to match my strength.
[13:12] Denken
    We can't reach the bottom without
    doing something about that replica.
[13:18] Denken
    Any ideas?
[13:21] Frieren
    Well, if that's a perfect recreation
    of me, then its weaknesses
[13:28] Frieren
    should be the same as the
    flesh-and-blood version.
[13:31] Richter
    Either restraint magic or hypnosis magic
    are best for defeating a stronger mage.
[13:38] Frieren
    I'm resistant to both, though.
[13:41] Denken
    But it may create a slight opening.
[13:45] Denken
    That would be enough for you to defeat it.
[13:50] Denken
    Methode.
[13:52] Denken
    You're good at that kind of thing.
[13:55] Methode
    I wouldn't say I'm good at it, exactly.
[14:00] Methode
    Excuse me.
[14:09] Methode
    This is interesting.
[14:11] Methode
    You're immune to restraint magic.
[14:14] Frieren
    Smells nice.
[14:15] Methode
    Normally it should work,
    barring a large difference in mana.
[14:20] Methode
    Next, Ms. Frieren, could you
    please look into my eyes?
[14:28] Methode
    Hypnosis magic won't work either.
[14:33] Methode
    I cannot penetrate
    Ms. Frieren's mental defenses.
[14:37] Methode
    Oh, my.
[14:39] Denken
    You really are resistant to both.
[14:43] Methode
    However, while the construction of your
    mental defenses is complex and solid,
[14:47] Methode
    it seems to be a rather old spell.
[14:50] Methode
    A specialist in hypnosis magic
    may be able to exploit its vulnerabilities.
[14:55] Denken
    Do you know any among the test-takers?
[15:02] Methode
    Edel the second-class mage
    may be able to do it.
[15:06] Methode
    But unlike me, she has no combat abilities.
[15:10] Methode
    Honestly, I'm not sure she'd
    be able to make it this far.
[15:16] Methode
    Also, hypnosis magic only works
    on targets that have minds.
[15:22] Methode
    It's unclear if the replicas
    have recreated those.
[15:28] Denken
    We lack too much information.
[15:35] Blei
    Edel, what do you think that is?
[15:43] Edel
    Who knows?
[15:45] Edel
    But it's safe to assume it has all the
    abilities of the first-class mage Sense.
[15:52] Blei
    Concealing our mana and hiding
    can only get us so far.
[15:56] Blei
    We'll have to defeat it.
[15:58] Edel
    Do you think we can, Blei?
[16:01] Edel
    You and Dünste can't fight properly in
    this dungeon, to say nothing of myself.
[16:07] Dünste
    Modern magic isn't suited
    to dungeon combat, anyway.
[16:12] Edel
    An unwelcome side effect of most dungeons
    having already been cleared
[16:15] Edel
    during the era leading up to
    the Demon King's defeat.
[16:20] Edel
    On top of that, powerful defensive
    spells take up too many resources,
[16:24] Edel
    so most attack spells use natural objects.
[16:29] Edel
    Manipulating and transforming
    objects already in the area
[16:36] Edel
    consumes less mana than
    creating objects out of nothing.
[16:41] Edel
    But that thing does it fairly well.
[16:46] Edel
    There are layers of magic cast on its hair.
[16:50] Edel
    It probably has numerous methods
    it could use to fight inside this dungeon.
[17:00] Edel
    As I see it, we can't beat that thing.
[17:03] Edel
    Magic is a world of visual imagination.
[17:06] Edel
    To be able to manipulate the uncountably
    large number of threads we call hair,
[17:13] Edel
    it must possess a superhuman imagination,
[17:18] Edel
    making it a far greater mage than any of us.
[17:23] Edel
    Honestly, it's a miracle we managed
    to evade it for this long.
[17:29] Edel
    We did our best.
[17:32] Edel
    But we're not fighters.
    It's time for us to give up.
[17:38] Edel
    Honestly, I'm scared and want to go home.
[17:42] Blei
    Edel, does your voice not work on it?
[17:47] Edel
    Hypnosis magic is indeed my family's calling,
[17:51] Edel
    but it's impossible to meet the conditions
    needed to give it sophisticated commands.
[17:57] Edel
    At most, I could create an opening
    by making it kneel.
[18:02] Edel
    Even then, I'd have to make eye contact
    with it and speak to it.
[18:06] Blei
    So it's not impossible.
[18:09] Edel
    Assuming it has a mind.
[18:12] Dünste
    How much time do you need?
[18:15] Edel
    Fifteen seconds. Or rather,
    I doubt we'll get more.
[18:20] Blei
    What do you mean?
[18:27] Edel
    You'll see.
[18:42] Edel
    Activate your defensive magic
    with full coverage.
[18:44] Blei
    What?
[18:46] Edel
    In modern magic, there are two ways
    to defeat defensive magic.
[18:51] Edel
    Hit it hard enough,
    or skillfully slip through it.
[18:58] Edel
    Most who use a high number
    of attacks are the latter.
[19:03] Edel
    I'm surprised.
[19:05] Edel
    I wasn't expecting both.
[19:07] Edel
    They have the weight of a boulder.
[19:12] Edel
    I thought we'd be able to maintain our
    defenses at full coverage for fifteen seconds,
[19:17] Edel
    not that it would break through
    even before that.
[19:22] Edel
    But we made eye contact.
[19:25] Edel
    The better the mage, the more
    closely they watch their opponent.
[19:29] Edel
    Kneel!
[19:38] Edel
    I see. I understand now.
[19:42] Edel
    It has no mind.
[19:45] Edel
    It's just precisely mimicking
    the functions of one.
[19:50] Edel
    We can't beat it.
[19:55] Edel
    You'll have to borrow
    the strength of another.
[19:58] Edel
    Run as quickly as you can to the fighters.
[20:02] Edel
    But as I said, it's time for me
    to give up. I'm leaving.
[20:05] Edel
    I'm not interested in getting hurt again.
[20:12] Edel
    How convenient. It even ensures my safety.
[20:21] Blei
    We should run, too.
[20:24] Dünste
    Is there anyone who can
    safely reach the bottom?
[20:29] Blei
    I told you.
[20:31] Blei
    She never intended for anyone
    to pass from the start.
[20:52] Frieren
    Currently, we lack information.
[20:55] Frieren
    We should consider the possibility
    that it doesn't have a mind.
[20:59] Frieren
    In which case, we'll probably
    have to use brute force.
[21:03] Denken
    Can you do it?
[21:05] Frieren
    I don't know.
[21:23] Wirbel
    It's impossible to tell what
    those things are thinking.
[21:37] Wirbel
    But like I thought, it's not a bad matchup.
[21:48] Wirbel
    Ehre crushes me or Scharf
    in a simple clash of mana.
[22:05] Wirbel
    But I know how to win.
[22:18] Wirbel
    No matter the opponent or situation.
[22:27] Denken
    Brute force, huh?
[22:31] Fern
    In that case,
[22:35] Fern
    I may be able to kill Ms. Frieren.
[22:41] Frieren
    Oh?
[22:43] Fern
    Yes.
[22:45] Frieren
    Well, then...
[22:47] Frieren
    Let's come up with a strategy.

[24:20] Himmel
    Sounds like we've got a plan.
[24:20] Frieren
    Let's come up with a strategy.
[24:21] Richter
    So you had information.
[24:22] Dünste
    Why don't we work together?
[24:23] Kanne
    Maybe you should apologize.
[24:24] Serie
    I find it truly displeasing.
[24:24] Lawine
    They don't have any weaknesses.

    You seem to be having fun.

SIGN    Episode 25: A Fatal Vulnerability
[02:20] Frieren
    To confirm: if the replica has a mind,
[02:25] Frieren
    we'll use Edel's hypnosis magic
    to penetrate my mental defenses,
[02:30] Frieren
    and Fern will kill me.
[02:33] Fern
    Yes.
[02:33] Laufen
    "Yes"?
[02:39] Methode
    Mr. Dünste.
[02:48] Methode
    Where is Ms. Edel?
[02:51] Dünste
    She dropped out when we were
    attacked by Sense's replica.
[02:57] Methode
    I see. Mr. Blei as well?
[03:03] Dünste
    I was able to escape because he kept it busy.
[03:07] Dünste
    I hope he made it out safely.
[03:19] Blei
    Leave me! Go!
[03:26] Dünste
    B-But...
[03:28] Blei
    It's better than neither of us passing.
[03:37] Dünste
    I have information.
[03:39] Dünste
    Why don't we work together?
[03:42] Denken
    That was my intention from the start.
[03:47] Denken
    Is there anyone who can treat this man?
[03:51] Methode
    I have a holy scripture.
    I can cast simple healing spells.
[03:56] Denken
    Please.
[04:04] Frieren
    I see.
[04:05] Frieren
    The replicas don't have minds.
[04:08] Dünste
    No. According to Ms. Edel,
[04:11] Dünste
    they merely imitate the
    functions of a mind precisely
[04:15] Dünste
    without actually having one.
[04:18] Frieren
    Well, there goes the easy way
    of taking one down.
[04:22] Frieren
    We'll have to plan accordingly.
[04:26] Denken
    But, Frieren, there's still
    too much that we don't know.
[04:32] Denken
    The biggest question is: what are those
    replicas, and who created them?
[04:38] Denken
    We can hardly take them on
    without knowing their nature.
[04:42] Richter
    In particular, we need to know whether
    or not the replicas themselves
[04:45] Richter
    have any unique weaknesses.
[04:47] Richter
    If that replica really is as strong as you,
    then we'd likely suffer casualties.
[04:54] Sense
    I won't answer that question.
[04:56] Richter
    Didn't think you would.
[04:58] Lawine
    They don't have any weaknesses.
[05:01] Lawine
    The replicas are being controlled
[05:04] Lawine
    by a monster from the mythical era
    known as the Spiegel.
[05:07] Frieren
    Lawine.
[05:09] Denken
    How do you know that?
[05:11] Lawine
    My oldest brother was in the advance party
    that the Continental Magic Association
[05:15] Lawine
    sent into the Tomb of the Ruined King.
[05:19] Richter
    So you had information.
    No wonder you made it this far.
[05:26] Richter
    But you made an irrational choice.
[05:30] Richter
    You should've shared your information
    and worked with us from the start.
[05:35] Lawine
    It didn't feel like we could've at the time.
[05:39] Kanne
    And Frieren and Fern left before we knew it.
[05:43] Lawine
    Besides, old man,
[05:44] Lawine
    you're the type to mercilessly abandon
    your allies unless there are rules against it.
[05:50] Lawine
    Anyone would think twice
    about working with you.
[05:52] Denken
    She really doesn't like you.
[05:55] Richter
    It's true that I'm old,
[05:58] Richter
    but there's something that stings
    about having it said to my face.
[06:02] Kanne
    Maybe you should apologize.
[06:04] Lawine
    Sorry, old man.
[06:09] Lawine
    According to the advance party's
    observation report,
[06:11] Lawine
    the Spiegel is in the treasure room
    on the other side of that door.
[06:17] Lawine
    The monster itself is weak
    and has no way of attacking directly.
[06:23] Lawine
    Once we defeat it,
    all the replicas will disappear.
[06:27] Denken
    That matches what our mana detection revealed.
[06:32] Denken
    The monster is on the other side of the door,
[06:35] Denken
    but it's shut fast with a
    powerful sealing spell.
[06:40] Frieren
    I've confirmed that as well.
    My replica must've done it.
[06:46] Frieren
    It's a spell that shuts the door of a
    treasure vault at the risk of your life.
[06:51] Frieren
    Even among folk magic,
    it's a top-class sealing spell.
[06:55] Frieren
    That door won't open
    until the caster is dead.
[07:00] Frieren
    We could ignore the door
    and break through a wall,
[07:04] Frieren
    but they've probably already
    accounted for that.
[07:08] Denken
    Either way, we'll have to defeat that replica
    if we want to take down the Spiegel.
[07:17] Lawine
    If we want to take it down,
    then we'd better hurry.
[07:20] Denken
    What do you mean?
[07:21] Lawine
    The Spiegel creates replicas
    of everyone within the dungeon.
[07:27] Lawine
    Over time, the replicas begin to gather
    at the bottom of the dungeon.
[07:35] Lawine
    Aside from my brother's unit, most members
    of the advance party died...
[07:43] Lawine
    right here, just before the bottom.
[07:54] Denken
    I see.
[07:56] Fern
    Excuse me.
[07:58] Fern
    The replicas precisely imitate the
    functions of a mind, don't they?
[08:02] Fern
    In that case, any vulnerabilities
    in their behavioral patterns
[08:05] Fern
    would be the same as the original's, right?
[08:08] Dünste
    Probably.
[08:11] Fern
    In that case, we may have a chance.
[08:15] Frieren
    What vulnerability are you thinking of?
[08:21] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, could you go stand by that wall?
[08:26] Frieren
    Okay.
[08:46] Methode
    Was that…?
[08:48] Denken
    Incredible. I don't believe it.
[08:52] Fern
    Did you notice?
[08:54] Kanne
    Did you?
[08:56] Lawine
    Nope.
[08:57] Denken
    This is Frieren's fatal vulnerability.
[09:02] Denken
    Why didn't I notice when I fought her?
[09:06] Denken
    No, I couldn't notice because of my
    preconceptions about experienced mages.
[09:13] Denken
    When casting a spell, she stops
    detecting mana for a brief moment.
[09:19] Laufen
    Isn't that a common mistake
    made by apprentice mages?
[09:23] Frieren
    I've never been very good about it.
[09:26] Fern
    If you're aware of it,
    then why didn't you say anything?
[09:30] Frieren
    Because it's embarrassing.
[09:32] Fern
    This is hardly the time to be saying that.
[09:35] Richter
    But she's far too skilled in all other areas.
[09:40] Richter
    I can't imagine there are many mages
    who could exploit that vulnerability.
[09:45] Fern
    In any case, let's discuss our strategy.
[10:10] Richter
    Supposing we can handle Frieren's replica,
    what about the others?
[10:13] Laufen
    Won't they all disappear
    if we defeat the Spiegel?
[10:13] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, you seem to be having fun.
[10:15] Denken
    The replicas will probably
    gather before then.
[10:17] Frieren
    Yeah.
[10:27] (Flashback) Himmel
    Sounds like we've got a plan.
[10:29] (Flashback) Himmel
    Eisen will draw the enemy to him,
    and I'll attack from the flank.
[10:35] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren, you'll provide supporting fire.
[10:37] (Flashback) Frieren
    What about Heiter?
[10:38] (Flashback) Himmel
    Today's an off day for him. He's hungover.
[10:42] (Flashback) Eisen
    He's dead.
[11:03] Frieren
    I was just thinking about
    all the times we discussed
[11:06] Frieren
    how we'd beat the dungeon boss like this.
[11:31] Frieren
    Okay.
[11:32] Frieren
    Let's begin the attack.
[11:36] Denken
    Can we win?
[11:38] Frieren
    Don't worry. There isn't a dungeon
    that can't be conquered.
[11:43] Frieren
    I'm the mage of the party that cleared
    the most dungeons in history.
[11:53] Denken
    Are you two sure you don't need any help
    fighting Frieren's replica?
[12:00] Frieren
    The fewer of us there are, the easier
    it will be to predict its movements.
[12:05] Frieren
    We'd almost certainly win if we all fought,
    but most of us would probably die.
[12:13] Frieren
    I doubt we'd even have the time
    to use our escape golems.
[12:17] Richter
    So slowing down the replicas gathering
    at the bottom is more important.
[12:29] Frieren
    If they surround us, we're all dead.
[12:34] Frieren
    Follow the plan.
[12:36] Denken
    Got it. Good luck.
[12:42] Frieren
    Open the door.
[13:03] Denken
    Now, then.
[13:05] Denken
    Let's discuss our weakest matchups.
[13:35] Frieren
    Judradjim.
[13:41] Fern
    It's behaving just like Ms. Frieren predicted.
[14:01] Frieren
    Vollzanbel.
[14:04] Frieren
    I stopped detecting mana.
[14:07] Frieren
    I'll be wary of Fern,
    who used that opportunity to hide.
[14:12] Frieren
    But I'll be busy dealing with
    the equally-matched opponent in front of me.
[14:16] Frieren
    I won't have time to look for Fern.
[14:20] Frieren
    After all, no one knows better than I do
    how frightening I can be.
[14:30] Frieren
    You'll be all right.
[14:32] Frieren
    Not even I can easily detect you
    when you're completely hidden.
[14:37] Fern
    Are you sure I should use
    Zoltraak to attack, though?
[14:43] Frieren
    It's the quickest spell there is.
[14:47] Frieren
    Besides, Zoltraak is a relatively
    new spell for elves.
[14:52] Frieren
    Not enough time has passed for us
    to reflexively defend against it.
[14:58] Frieren
    It takes only a moment
    for us to respond to it,
[15:03] Frieren
    but the time we spend thinking
    about it causes a delay.
[15:07] Frieren
    You're different, though.
[15:10] Frieren
    Zoltraak has existed since your birth.
    To you, it's nothing special.
[15:15] Frieren
    It's a fundamental mage spell
    engraved into your being.
[15:21] Frieren
    Your Zoltraak can kill me.
[15:25] Frieren
    Hit it with all the mana you've got.
[15:45] (Flashback) Serie
    Frieren, I thought you didn't like me.
[15:50] (Flashback) Serie
    Why have you come to see me?
[15:53] (Flashback) Serie
    Honestly, I thought we'd never meet again.
[15:58] (Flashback) Frieren
    I came to deliver my master's will.
[16:03] (Flashback) Serie
    It's been fifty years.
[16:06] (Flashback) Serie
    I see. So Flamme has died.
[16:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're not sad?
[16:12] (Flashback) Serie
    I only trained her on a whim.
[16:21] (Flashback) Serie
    It's practically a report.
[16:23] (Flashback) Frieren
    What does it say?
[16:26] (Flashback) Serie
    The emperor has authorized
    magical research nationwide.
[16:32] (Flashback) Serie
    Until now, human societies have considered
    magic to be a technique used by demons,
[16:37] (Flashback) Serie
    and openly studying it was forbidden.
[16:42] (Flashback) Serie
    Flamme encouraged him to allow it
[16:44] (Flashback) Serie
    and had been training the newly
    established imperial mages.
[16:51] (Flashback) Serie
    She wants me to take over for her.
[16:56] (Flashback) Serie
    Such greed.
[17:00] (Flashback) Serie
    Receiving authorization to study magic
    is a feat on its own, but she wants more.
[17:07] (Flashback) Frieren
    Is that such an impressive achievement?
[17:10] (Flashback) Serie
    The continent's largest united empire
    is set to begin studying magic
[17:14] (Flashback) Serie
    and adopting it for military use.
[17:17] (Flashback) Serie
    The neighboring nations are sure to respond.
[17:20] (Flashback) Serie
    In just a few decades, magic will
    spread throughout the continent.
[17:25] (Flashback) Serie
    We'll enter an era in which
    all of humanity can use magic.
[17:30] (Flashback) Serie
    In the near future,
[17:33] (Flashback) Serie
    humanity will acquire the strength to fight
    back against the Demon King's forces.
[17:37] (Flashback) Frieren
    I see. That's incredible.
[17:41] (Flashback) Serie
    Indeed it is.
[17:45] (Flashback) Serie
    But that's not what I want.
[17:50] (Flashback) Serie
    Leave, Frieren.
[17:53] (Flashback) Serie
    I can't comply with this final request.
[17:56] (Flashback) Serie
    I find it truly displeasing.
[18:00] (Flashback) Serie
    An era in which anyone can use magic?
[18:03] (Flashback) Serie
    Magic should be special.
[18:06] (Flashback) Serie
    I won't teach anyone who lacks talent.
[18:10] (Flashback) Serie
    How dare she send this to me?
[18:13] (Flashback) Serie
    Flamme and I remained unable to understand
    each other until the very end.
[18:17] (Flashback) Serie
    She was only ever a student
    I trained on a whim.
[18:20] (Flashback) Frieren
    My master said you'd probably
    get upset and tear up her will.
[18:29] (Flashback) Frieren
    But she wanted to tell you her dream
    had come true regardless.
[18:35] (Flashback) Frieren
    It doesn't make sense, does it?
[18:41] (Flashback) Frieren
    Well, I'm leaving now.
[18:43] (Flashback) Frieren
    I doubt we'll meet again.
[18:46] (Flashback) Serie
    Frieren.
[18:49] (Flashback) Serie
    Before you go, walk with me a little.
[18:52] (Flashback) Serie
    After all, we have all the time in the world.
[18:59] (Flashback) Serie
    An era in which anyone could use magic
    was Flamme's dream.
[19:05] (Flashback) Serie
    I doubt she cared about helping humanity
[19:09] (Flashback) Serie
    or the strength to fight the
    Demon King's forces at first.
[19:20] (Flashback) Serie
    Do you know what her favorite spell was?
[19:24] (Flashback) Serie
    A spell to create a field of flowers.
[19:27] (Flashback) Serie
    A useless, foolish spell.
[19:36] (Flashback) Serie
    She truly loved magic.
[19:39] (Flashback) Serie
    She genuinely wished for everyone in the
    world to be able to cast spells like that.
[19:46] (Flashback) Serie
    It disgusted me.
[19:49] (Flashback) Serie
    It was the fanciful dream of a girl,
    but it's what she really wanted.
[19:57] (Flashback) Serie
    She told me about this dream of hers
    when she was a child much shorter than me.
[20:05] (Flashback) Serie
    Honestly, I thought that era
    wouldn't arrive for many more years.
[20:10] (Flashback) Serie
    I didn't think she could accomplish it.
[20:16] (Flashback) Serie
    To me, her life was so short
    as to be practically nothing,
[20:22] (Flashback) Serie
    and yet she became the founder
    of humanity's magic.
[20:25] (Flashback) Frieren
    My master was always quick to decide.
[20:29] (Flashback) Frieren
    It felt like she was in a hurry.
[20:34] (Flashback) Serie
    Humans have limited lifespans.
[20:36] (Flashback) Serie
    They exist much closer to death than we do.
[20:41] (Flashback) Serie
    We must all make important decisions
    at several points in our lives,
[20:46] (Flashback) Serie
    but humans cannot afford to delay them.
[20:52] (Flashback) Serie
    We can afford to wait a century or two.
[20:56] (Flashback) Serie
    Even ignoring them for a millennium
    poses no obstacle,
[21:02] (Flashback) Serie
    as our time is closer to an eternity.
[21:08] (Flashback) Serie
    Frieren, many years have passed
    since humanity created
[21:13] (Flashback) Serie
    what could be called a civilization.
[21:16] (Flashback) Serie
    From now on, their progress
    will begin to accelerate.
[21:22] (Flashback) Serie
    A mere thousand years.
[21:26] (Flashback) Serie
    In a mere thousand years,
    the era of humans will arrive.
[21:34] (Flashback) Serie
    The humans will overtake us.
[21:43] (Flashback) Serie
    Do not neglect your training, Frieren.
[21:58] (Flashback) Serie
    If anyone kills you,
    it will be either the Demon King…
[22:05] (Flashback) Serie
    or a human mage.
[22:11] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm looking forward to it, Serie.
[22:16] (Flashback) Frieren
    We're going to see so many
    different kinds of mages and spells.

    Worst case, we could both die.
[24:22] Fern/Id
    Incredible, Ms. Frieren.
[24:23] Frieren
    It's up to you.
[24:23] Frieren/Id
    This opening won't do.

    We expected this much.
[24:26] Frieren/Id
    I'll have to do it after all.

[02:55] Fern
    It blocked it.
[03:00] Fern
    We expected this much.
[03:03] Fern
    From here on out,
    it's a battle of attrition.
[03:14] Richter
    They really are here.
    Methode's observations were correct.
[03:20] Richter
    Try not to hold me back.
[03:22] Lawine
    I could say the same thing.
[03:27] (Flashback) Denken
    Methode has determined the
    exact locations of the enemy.
[03:32] (Flashback) Denken
    We can't beat them in a
    disorganized free-for-all.
[03:35] (Flashback) Denken
    So we'll split up and stop the replicas
    before they gather here.
[03:41] (Flashback) Denken
    We told each other our weakest matchups.
[03:44] (Flashback) Denken
    Your own weakest matchup
    is your replica's as well.
[03:50] (Flashback) Denken
    Our advantage is that we can
    communicate and work together.
[03:59] (Flashback) Denken
    As long as we choose the right opponents,
[04:03] (Flashback) Denken
    we'll have the upper hand.
[04:15] (Flashback) Denken
    Use numbers to deal with anyone
    we can't fight alone.
[04:37] Laufen
    It's funny how easy this is.
[04:47] Lawine
    If we do this, we can stop the replicas.
[04:58] (Flashback) Frieren
    Follow the plan.
[05:00] (Flashback) Denken
    Got it. Good luck.
[05:05] (Flashback) Methode
    There's one concern.
[05:07] (Flashback) Methode
    I'm detecting fewer replicas than test-takers.
[05:13] (Flashback) Methode
    In particular, I can't find
    Ms. Sense's replica, the greatest threat.
[05:20] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're right. I don't detect it either.
[05:23] (Flashback) Frieren
    We mustn't overlook Sense's replica.
[05:26] (Flashback) Frieren
    If she comes at us from behind,
    I won't be able to protect Fern.
[05:30] (Flashback) Frieren
    Worst case, we could both die.
[05:33] (Flashback) Methode
    I haven't found Ms. Fern or
    Mr. Denken's replicas either.
[05:38] (Flashback) Methode
    We'll have to search for them using
    more precise close-range detection.
[05:43] (Flashback) Richter
    We wouldn't have had to worry
    about this if you weren't here.
[05:49] (Flashback) Sense
    First-class mages must be able
    to overcome unfair adversity.
[05:56] (Flashback) Sense
    And this doesn't even qualify as adversity.
[06:00] (Flashback) Sense
    Besides, you can pass the test by simply
    watching your fellow test-takers' backs.
[06:05] (Flashback) Sense
    Is this not a truly kind and peaceful test?
[06:17] Lawine
    It's down,
[06:19] Lawine
    but I can't say I enjoyed that.
[06:26] Richter
    An ambush.
[06:34] Richter
    Damned monstrosity.
[06:37] Richter
    I don't recall neglecting
    my mana detection.
[06:42] Richter
    Lawine, you should break your bottle, too.
[06:46] Richter
    You're old enough to know when to quit.
[06:49] Richter
    The test will be held again in three years.
[06:53] Lawine
    Damn it.
[07:01] Denken
    I didn't make it in time.
[07:04] Denken
    But my help wouldn't
    have changed the outcome.
[07:11] Denken
    Even with its back turned,
    I still don't detect any openings.
[07:16] Denken
    Either way, I must at least buy some time.
[07:21] Übel
    You're Denken the Imperial Mage, right?
[07:26] Übel
    What's going on here?
[07:29] Übel
    Are you planning to fight that thing?
[07:32] Übel
    I don't think you can beat it.
[07:34] Denken
    I know.
[07:37] Übel
    Denken, do we have to do this
    to conquer the dungeon?
[07:42] Denken
    Frieren is currently—
[07:44] Übel
    I didn't ask for an explanation.
    Is this necessary?
[07:50] Denken
    Yes.
[07:53] Übel
    Then I'll defeat it.
[07:55] Land
    What are you talking about?
    Denken is the strongest one here.
[08:00] Land
    You couldn't even beat Wirbel.
[08:03] Übel
    Yeah, that's not how this works.
[08:07] Übel
    It's true that I'm an inexperienced
    third-class mage.
[08:11] Übel
    I'm far weaker than Denken or Wirbel.
[08:15] Übel
    But I think I can beat Sense.
[08:19] Übel
    This is my specialty.
[08:23] Übel
    Reelseiden, a spell that
    cuts almost anything.
[08:26] Übel
    It cuts anything I think it can,
    and it can't cut anything I think it can't.
[08:33] Land
    So what? That spell is easily
    blocked by defensive magic.
[08:39] Übel
    Oh, right. You watched my battle
    against Wirbel, didn't you, four-eyes?
[08:44] Übel
    Yeah, defensive magic is for blocking spells.
[08:49] Übel
    It's hard for me to imagine cutting it.
[08:52] Land
    I see. Then either way,
    it won't work against Sense.
[08:57] Land
    Based only on what we can observe,
[09:00] Land
    that hair has multiple layers of spells
    equal to defensive magic cast on it.
[09:04] Übel
    I told you, that sort of logic doesn't matter.
[09:07] Übel
    I'm talking about what I can visualize.
[09:11] Land
    Hey, wait.
[09:15] Übel
    Huh.
[09:17] Übel
    Figures. Sorganeil doesn't work.
[09:21] Übel
    Well, a person's hair is part of their body.
[09:24] Übel
    It's impossible to see all of her at once.
[09:29] Übel
    Reelseiden.
[09:32] Sense
    As I thought, Übel is fighting my replica.
[09:37] Sense
    I already know who will win.
[09:39] Sense
    It won't even be a real fight.
[09:43] Sense
    It happened two years ago,
    during the second-class mage exam.
[09:48] Sense
    Burg, a first-class mage,
    proctored the second test.
[09:54] Sense
    He was so skilled in defensive magic
[09:57] Sense
    that he hadn't been injured once
    since becoming a first-class mage.
[10:04] Sense
    “Immovable Cloak.”
[10:06] Sense
    The cloak he created using mana
[10:08] Sense
    was imbued with so many defensive spells
    that no magical attack could penetrate it.
[10:15] Sense
    For the second test, the test-takers fired
    offensive magic against Burg and his cloak.
[10:22] Sense
    It was a simple test. If they could make him
    take just one step back, they passed.
[10:26] Sense
    Killing would result in disqualification,
[10:29] Sense
    and limits were imposed on offensive
    magic to protect the other test-takers.
[10:36] (Flashback) Burg
    Next.
[10:42] Sense
    No one was worried about Burg.
[10:55] (Flashback) Übel
    Oh, I cut too deep.
[11:01] Sense
    But he was easily killed
[11:03] Sense
    by a no-name girl who'd just recently
    become a third-class mage.
[11:11] (Flashback) Übel
    This means I fail, right?
[11:13] (Flashback) Übel
    I get it. Can I leave now?
[11:17] (Flashback) Sense
    I have just one question for you.
[11:20] (Flashback) Übel
    Go ahead.
[11:21] (Flashback) Sense
    How did you defeat his Immovable Cloak?
[11:27] (Flashback) Übel
    Have you ever sewn before, Sense?
[11:32] (Flashback) Sense
    No. Why do you ask?
[11:34] (Flashback) Übel
    You do seem like you come
    from a rich family.
[11:37] (Flashback) Übel
    Or do you use magic to handle all that stuff?
[11:42] (Flashback) Übel
    I've actually never tried it myself,
    since I'm so clumsy.
[11:52] (Flashback) Übel
    But I used to watch my sister
    sew all the time.
[11:59] (Flashback) Übel
    When you cut cloth, you place the scissors
    against it like this and slide them through.
[12:08] (Flashback) Übel
    It makes a really nice sound.
[12:14] (Flashback) Übel
    I liked that sound.
[12:18] (Flashback) Sense
    I don't see where you're going with this.
[12:20] (Flashback) Übel
    I'm talking about visual imagination.
[12:22] (Flashback) Übel
    Cloth can be cut.
    You expect to be able to cut it.
[12:30] Sense
    She's out of her mind.
[12:33] Sense
    It's true that anyone can
    imagine cutting cloth.
[12:36] Sense
    Even an idiot can do that.
[12:39] Sense
    But the world of magic isn't so simple.
[12:44] Sense
    Magic can't create anything
    the caster can't visualize perfectly,
[12:50] Sense
    just as a diminutive ant can't imagine
    crushing a colossal dragon underfoot.
[12:55] Sense
    Hardly any mages can imagine
    penetrating that cloak
[13:00] Sense
    and its impregnable magical defenses.
[13:03] Sense
    Any mage can tell at a glance that
    that cloak blocks all magical attacks.
[13:11] Sense
    Truly, any idiot can see that.
[13:15] Sense
    As long as people are intelligent organisms,
    we cannot escape those fetters.
[13:22] Sense
    But she trusted her own intuition instead.
[13:27] Sense
    Despite understanding intellectually
    that it couldn't be cut,
[13:31] Sense
    she constructed a vision of cutting
    through the cloak according to her intuition.
[13:36] Sense
    Her mind must not function like a person's.
[13:41] Sense
    It's practically a superpower.
[13:45] (Flashback) Übel
    Can I go now?
[13:47] (Flashback) Sense
    Yes.
[13:50] (Flashback) Übel
    By the way, Sense, that's some pretty hair.
[13:54] (Flashback) Übel
    It must be tough to maintain.
[14:00] Sense
    Perhaps I had already lost to her then.
[14:05] Sense
    I can't imagine beating Übel.
[14:08] Sense
    She's that bad a matchup for me.
[14:17] Übel
    You all think too hard.
    Hair is something to be cut.
[14:24] (Flashback) Sense
    Maintaining my hair?
[14:26] (Flashback) Sense
    It's hell.
[14:28] (Flashback) Sense
    I don't even want to think about it.
[14:33] Übel
    Then you should cut it.
[14:38] Wirbel
    I've got the picture.
[14:40] Wirbel
    So you're buying time until
    Frieren defeats the Spiegel.
[14:46] Methode
    Yes, that's right.
[14:48] Scharf
    We defeated three of the replicas.
[14:51] Methode
    That will make things easier.
[14:54] Methode
    In that case… Oh, my.
[14:57] Methode
    Ms. Sense's replica was just destroyed.
[15:01] Methode
    This mana…
[15:04] Methode
    It was the third-class mage Übel
    who defeated it.
[15:07] Scharf
    That's surprising.
[15:09] Wirbel
    Is it? She was a pretty bad matchup for it.
[15:13] Methode
    Battles between mages
    are like rock-paper-scissors.
[15:18] Methode
    However, it is a complex and difficult game
    of rock-paper-scissors with infinite options.
[15:24] Wirbel
    And you want as many options as possible, huh?
[15:30] Wirbel
    Sure. We'll help you slow down the replicas.
[15:35] Wirbel
    I don't make a habit of trusting others,
[15:38] Wirbel
    but I'm not dumb enough to let a winning
    horse go when it's right in front of me.
[15:43] Methode
    Currently, there are two
    dangerous replicas we must stop.
[15:49] Methode
    I've determined the location of
    one of them: Mr. Denken's replica.
[15:55] Methode
    I'd like you to handle that one.
[15:59] Methode
    Allow me to handle the other:
    Ms. Fern's replica.
[16:05] Methode
    She's particularly skilled
    at concealing her mana.
[16:09] Methode
    Unless we find her replica,
    it could ambush and kill someone.
[16:14] Ehre
    Can you really handle it alone?
[16:16] Methode
    Working alone will allow me to
    focus better on mana detection.
[16:20] Ehre
    She's pretty strong, you know.
[16:23] Methode
    I have many talents.
[16:24] Methode
    When it comes to simply stopping
    someone, I'm quite skilled.
[16:29] Methode
    Besides, I confirmed with the actual Ms. Fern
    that my binding magic would work on her.
[16:31] Methode
    Take this.
[16:32] Fern
    I can't move.
[16:36] Wirbel
    All right. Let's go fight this thing.
[16:42] Land
    Übel, I'm not imagining this, am I?
[16:47] Übel
    Probably not.
[16:49] Übel
    After all, you can't move, can you?
[16:55] Übel
    My replica is back in action.
[17:05] Übel
    Will this keep going until
    that Spiegel thing is defeated?
[17:10] Übel
    It's a battle of attrition.
    This is getting fun.
[17:14] Denken
    I couldn't agree more.
[17:17] Land
    Isn't it time for us to get out of here?
[17:57] Frieren
    This opening won't do either.
[18:00] Frieren
    Fern wouldn't notice it.
[18:05] Frieren
    I'll have to do it after all.
[18:08] (Flashback) Frieren
    The vulnerability in my mana detection
    isn't enough to kill me.
[18:13] (Flashback) Fern
    You're right.
[18:15] (Flashback) Fern
    We could win with a bigger opening, though.
[18:18] (Flashback) Frieren
    You can win, right?
[18:21] (Flashback) Frieren
    Then I'll create an opening.
[18:24] (Flashback) Fern
    Is that possible?
[18:26] (Flashback) Frieren
    If I show an opening, then the replica
    will show an even greater one.
[18:32] (Flashback) Fern
    But that would mean you…
[18:34] (Flashback) Frieren
    If I focus on defense, it won't be fatal.
[18:39] (Flashback) Fern
    Then what strategy should we use?
[18:46] (Flashback) Frieren
    It's up to you. If you think
    we can win, then we can.
[18:50] (Flashback) Fern
    How can you be so sure?
[18:53] (Flashback) Frieren
    Because I underestimate you.
[19:02] (Flashback) Fern
    I'm glad to hear that.
[19:04] (Flashback) Fern
    That means we have a decent shot at winning.
[20:01] Fern
    It's still standing, but that's a fatal wound.
[20:06] Fern
    I should finish it—
[20:15] Fern
    What happened? Was I attacked?
[20:19] Fern
    I don't sense any mana.
[20:21] Fern
    I'm not recognizing this attack as a spell.
[20:27] Fern
    Incredible, Ms. Frieren.
[20:30] Fern
    So this is the height of magic.
[20:34] Fern
    But this isn't like you.
[20:39] Fern
    You've left yourself wide open.
[20:51] Frieren
    Well done, Fern.
[20:54] Frieren
    It's been about eighty years
    since I was last forced to use that.
[21:12] Frieren
    Now, let's end this.
[21:26] Methode
    So it's over.
[21:29] Ehre
    I can't move another millimeter.
[21:32] Scharf
    Wirbel, carry me.
[21:35] Wirbel
    You guys just can't stay on your feet, huh?
[21:47] Denken
    So this is the bottom of the
    Ruins of the King's Tomb.
[21:52] Sense
    You've conquered the
    Ruins of the King's Tomb.
[21:56] Sense
    Such a notable achievement makes you
    worthy of becoming first-class mages.
[22:03] Sense
    As promised, everyone who made it here
    has passed the second test.
[22:11] Denken
    So, where are the ladies of the hour?
[22:18] Frieren
    It's dark and scary in here!
[22:23] Frieren
    It's dark! It's scary!
[22:25] Laufen
    I guess I understand that feeling.
[22:26] Frieren
    Dark! Scary!
[22:30] Sense
    The second test is now over.
[22:36] Ehre
    It can even use healing magic.
[22:40] Ehre
    Impressive, right?
[22:42] Richter
    Uh, yeah.
[22:47] Richter
    Who are you?
[22:50] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    And I'm alright (I'll be alright)
[22:53] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Yeah, I hear you (I care about you)

    Why? They begin to overflow
[23:25] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    I won't ask to see you, so at least
[23:31] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Let me remember the past, just for today
[23:37] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    So, if we were to meet again
[23:43] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    No more hesitations, I'd choose the present

    Anytime, anywhere, yah (wherever you are)

    Anytime, anywhere (smile for me)

    I'm whispering our lullaby
    for you to come back home

    It's been with me ever since I was little.
[24:20] Denken
    You were unlucky this time.
[24:21] Serie
    That's the spell Flamme taught you.
[24:22] Richter
    I may seem fine, but I'm actually
    in a terrible mood right now.
[24:23] Kanne
    You're in really rough shape.
[24:24] Falsch
    The third test will now begin.
[24:25] Stark
    Fern, let's head back.

SIGN    Episode 27: An Era of Humans
[01:59] Fern
    Ms. Frieren and I had an argument.
[02:02] Stark
    Again? You've been arguing a lot recently,
    don't you think?
[02:06] Stark
    Isn't the third test the final one?
[02:10] Stark
    This is hardly the time to be squabbling.
[02:12] Fern
    She was truly awful this time.
[02:14] Fern
    My staff broke in battle
    in the Ruins of the King's Tomb,
[02:19] Fern
    so I told Ms. Frieren
    I wanted to get it repaired.
[02:23] Fern
    She told me it'd be better to buy
    a new staff than to repair my old one.
[02:28] Stark
    You mean that staff, don't you?
[02:30] Stark
    She said it couldn't be repaired
    since it was already in pieces.
[02:36] Fern
    Still, Mr. Heiter gave me that staff.
[02:42] Fern
    It's been with me ever since I was little.
[02:46] Stark
    We're talking about Frieren, though.
    I doubt she meant any harm.
[02:50] Fern
    At the very least, I never even
    would have thought of throwing it away.
[02:59] Kanne
    Three years until the next
    first-class mage exam, huh?
[03:02] Kanne
    Three years is a long time.
[03:05] Lawine
    Just make fun of me like you always do.
[03:09] Kanne
    Do you want me to?
[03:12] Lawine
    No.
[03:15] Kanne
    In that case, Little Miss Lawine,
    shall I pat your head?
[03:22] Kanne
    What? You wanna fight?
[03:27] Lawine
    Hurry up.
[03:30] Kanne
    You're in really rough shape.
[03:34] Kanne
    Hey, it's Frieren.
[03:45] Kanne
    What's with the bag?
[03:48] Richter
    Hey, how long are you going
    to hang around here?
[03:52] Richter
    I failed the test. There's nothing
    keeping us together anymore.
[03:56] Richter
    You're interfering with my business.
    Get out of here.
[03:59] Denken
    I'm here as a customer.
[04:03] Richter
    Then hurry up and choose something.
[04:10] Laufen
    You can have some.
[04:11] Richter
    I don't want any.
[04:13] Denken
    You were unlucky this time.
[04:18] Denken
    You got the short end of the stick.
[04:20] Denken
    It could've happened to
    anyone in that position.
[04:24] Richter
    A loss is a loss. I wasn't strong enough.
[04:29] Richter
    Either way, don't bring that up again.
[04:32] Richter
    I may seem fine, but I'm actually
    in a terrible mood right now.
[04:35] Denken
    But you opened your shop regardless.
[04:40] Richter
    Denken, you may not realize this,
[04:44] Richter
    but people have to work to make a living
    no matter how foul their mood.
[04:52] Denken
    Is that right?
[04:55] Richter
    Maybe it's for the best
    that I'm the one who failed.
[04:59] Richter
    The first-class mage exam
    is held once every three years.
[05:02] Richter
    A decrepit old man like you might not
    be around three years from now.
[05:09] Denken
    You're right.
[05:11] Richter
    Don't agree with me.
[05:17] Denken
    Richter, you truly are an insolent youngster.
[05:22] Denken
    You mock authority
[05:24] Denken
    and have no qualms about mistreating
    the weak in order to achieve your goals.
[05:28] Denken
    Your behavior is hardly praiseworthy.
[05:32] Denken
    And yet I feel no hatred for you at all,
[05:37] Denken
    probably because I was once
    an insolent youngster too.
[05:44] Denken
    And now, I'm an imperial mage.
[05:49] Richter
    What are you trying to say?
[05:52] Denken
    I'm telling you not to be so discouraged.
[05:55] Denken
    Three years from now, you'll be
    far stronger than you are today.
[06:01] Denken
    Laufen, let's go.
[06:06] Laufen
    Sorry. The old man's not good with people.
[06:09] Richter
    What's your relationship with Denken, exactly?
[06:14] Richter
    Damn it, old man.
[06:17] Richter
    He didn't buy anything after all.
[06:33] Richter
    Is today my unlucky day or something?
[06:35] Frieren
    I asked around town and was told this shop
    can fix any staff, no matter how broken.
[06:44] Richter
    Show me.
[06:48] Richter
    What is this broken pile of scrapwood?
    Don't tell me this is meant to be a staff.
[06:53] Richter
    I'm not a trash disposal service, you know.
[06:55] Frieren
    It's not trash.
[06:57] Frieren
    Probably.
[07:03] Richter
    My mood was starting to improve,
    but because of you, I feel terrible again.
[07:10] Richter
    I have the right to choose
    which jobs I work on.
[07:13] Richter
    You should give up on this staff.
[07:16] Frieren
    I see.
[07:19] Frieren
    If you can't do it, then never mind.
[07:23] Richter
    Frieren, you really get on my nerves.
[07:28] Richter
    When did I say I couldn't do it?
[07:38] Frieren
    Can you finish today?
[07:40] Frieren
    I want it to be repaired
    in time for the third test.
[07:43] Richter
    Don't be ridiculous.
[07:50] Richter
    Frieren.
[07:51] Frieren
    What?
[07:52] Richter
    I'm sorry for calling it trash.
[07:56] Richter
    It's a good, well-maintained staff.
[07:59] Richter
    Someone must've taken really good care of it.
[08:07] Stark
    Fern, let's head back already.
[08:12] Fern
    Ms. Frieren doesn't understand me at all.
[08:15] Stark
    I don't understand you either.
[08:18] Stark
    Stop! Don't take it out on me!
[08:24] Stark
    What matters is that she
    tries to understand you.
[08:28] Stark
    I think Frieren is doing her best.
[08:39] Richter
    You're Frieren's kid.
[08:43] Richter
    Her student, right?
[08:46] Richter
    Am I wrong?
[08:48] Stark
    No, that's right.
[08:51] Richter
    Either way, the second test
    only ended yesterday,
[08:56] Richter
    but I had another terrible day
    because of your master.
[09:01] Richter
    I would've made more profit
    if you'd just bought a new one.
[09:07] Richter
    Take good care of it.
[09:24] Fern
    My staff.
[09:33] (Flashback) Heiter
    Frieren struggles to understand emotions.
[09:37] (Flashback) Heiter
    I'm sure it will cause
    difficulties and disagreements.
[09:43] (Flashback) Heiter
    But there is one good thing about it.
[09:47] (Flashback) Heiter
    Frieren will worry and care
    about you just as much.
[09:53] (Flashback) Heiter
    Few masters are better than her.
[10:31] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, about yesterday…
[10:36] Frieren
    What?
[10:39] Fern
    Actually, never mind.
[10:43] Frieren
    I see.
[10:47] Falsch
    The third test will now begin.
[10:54] (Flashback) Serie
    Do you know why I came
    all the way here, Sense?
[11:03] (Flashback) Serie
    Nothing to say, huh?
[11:05] (Flashback) Serie
    You always remain silent
    in troublesome situations.
[11:08] (Flashback) Serie
    Twelve test-takers passed the second test.
[11:12] (Flashback) Serie
    It's an anomaly. It's too many.
[11:16] (Flashback) Serie
    I have no problem with a test that requires
    all participants to work together,
[11:20] (Flashback) Serie
    as the current first-class mages
    lack cooperativeness.
[11:24] (Flashback) Falsch
    Forgive us.
[11:26] (Flashback) Serie
    But there is one among the test-takers
    who is far too powerful.
[11:33] (Flashback) Lernen
    You mean Ms. Frieren.
[11:36] (Flashback) Serie
    Because of her, many have passed
    despite lacking the requisite strength.
[11:41] (Flashback) Serie
    A typical third test would kill all of them.
[11:47] (Flashback) Serie
    Sense, that's hardly what you want,
[11:52] (Flashback) Serie
    and not even I wish to see
    such pointless deaths.
[11:57] (Flashback) Sense
    Ms. Serie.
[11:59] (Flashback) Serie
    There's no need to apologize.
    It's all Frieren's fault.
[12:04] (Flashback) Serie
    An anomaly calls for an anomaly.
[12:07] (Flashback) Serie
    I will proctor the third test.
[12:11] (Flashback) Serie
    It will be a peaceful selection.
[12:15] (Flashback) Serie
    In past years, you've proctored the test.
[12:18] (Flashback) Serie
    You don't object, do you, Lernen?
[12:22] (Flashback) Lernen
    Your willfulness is nothing new, Ms. Serie.
[12:28] (Flashback) Lernen
    Besides, I could not
    possibly test Ms. Frieren.
[12:34] (Flashback) Lernen
    I could tell at a glance that
    she's suppressing her own mana.
[12:41] (Flashback) Lernen
    Her mana is tremendous, equal to yours.
[12:50] (Flashback) Serie
    Falsch, did you notice?
[12:52] (Flashback) Falsch
    No, I have no idea
    what he's talking about.
[12:55] (Flashback) Falsch
    I observed her mana myself
    at the testing area.
[12:59] (Flashback) Falsch
    It didn't seem to me like
    she was suppressing it.
[13:03] (Flashback) Falsch
    I observed none of the typical fluctuations.
[13:08] (Flashback) Falsch
    No living creature with mana
    can conceal these fluctuations.
[13:13] (Flashback) Falsch
    Even if it were possible, it would take
    an extraordinary amount of time to master.
[13:19] (Flashback) Falsch
    It would hardly be a practical skill.
[13:23] (Flashback) Serie
    Frieren has devoted her life
    to mastering that impractical skill
[13:28] (Flashback) Serie
    in order to deceive demons.
[13:33] (Flashback) Serie
    Demons are far more sensitive
    to mana than us humanoids.
[13:39] (Flashback) Serie
    Without innate talent, it takes more than
    a century or two of practice to fool them.
[13:46] (Flashback) Serie
    It truly is a waste of time.
[13:49] (Flashback) Serie
    You'd become far more powerful devoting
    your efforts to training something else.
[13:54] (Flashback) Serie
    It's incredibly inefficient.
[13:56] (Flashback) Serie
    But that inefficiency
    breeds weakness in others.
[14:02] (Flashback) Serie
    In a battle between experienced mages,
[14:05] (Flashback) Serie
    miscalculating your opponent's mana
    can lead directly to death.
[14:10] (Flashback) Serie
    Frieren is in fact relatively
    unskilled for her age,
[14:15] (Flashback) Serie
    and yet she's defeated demons.
[14:18] (Flashback) Serie
    Her mana control is simply that refined.
[14:24] (Flashback) Serie
    As far as I knew, only the Demon King
    was able to see through it at first glance.
[14:30] (Flashback) Serie
    That is, until this moment, Lernen.
[14:36] (Flashback) Lernen
    It was a coincidence. I just happened
    to see a minor fluctuation.
[14:40] (Flashback) Lernen
    That's all.
[14:43] (Flashback) Serie
    Ever modest and dependable.
[14:47] (Flashback) Serie
    It's been more than half a century since
    you became the first first-class mage.
[14:54] (Flashback) Serie
    But you're still the same timid boy.
[15:00] (Flashback) Serie
    That's my only disappointment.
[15:03] (Flashback) Serie
    You've achieved this level, and yet
    you don't have much longer to live.
[15:10] (Flashback) Serie
    I doubt you'll ever get the
    chance to fight Frieren,
[15:15] (Flashback) Serie
    even if it's a battle you could win.
[15:20] (Flashback) Serie
    I shouldn't take on human students.
[15:25] (Flashback) Serie
    It's truly disappointing.
[15:30] (Flashback) Serie
    In the end, that boy never saw
    the fluctuations in my mana either.
[15:38] Falsch
    The third test will be an interview
    with Serie the Great Mage.
[15:44] Frieren
    So that's how it's going to be.
[15:44] Falsch
    You will be called one at a time
    when she is ready for you.
[15:46] Frieren
    Serie intends to fail us both.
[15:48] Falsch
    Please wait here until then.
[15:50] Fern
    You know her?
[15:52] Frieren
    From a long time ago.
[15:54] Frieren
    She probably intends to choose who passes
    based on her intuition.
[15:57] Frieren
    But Serie's intuition is always right.
[16:01] Frieren
    I still haven't become the mage
    Serie wishes I were.
[16:40] Kanne
    Excuse me…
[16:41] Serie
    You fail. Now leave.
[16:45] Kanne
    May I ask why?
[16:48] Serie
    My mana frightens you.
    You know the limits of your own abilities.
[16:55] Serie
    You can't imagine yourself
    as a first-class mage, can you?
[17:00] Serie
    In the world of magic, that which
    can't be visualized cannot be.
[17:05] Serie
    It's the most fundamental principle.
    Now leave.
[17:08] Serie
    Fail.
[17:10] Serie
    Fail.
[17:11] Serie
    Fail.
[17:12] Serie
    Fail.
[17:15] Serie
    Frieren, you can't imagine yourself
    as a first-class mage either,
[17:22] Serie
    but for a different reason
    from the rest of the test-takers.
[17:27] Serie
    You don't believe I'd ever let you pass.
[17:31] Frieren
    It's true, isn't it?
[17:33] Serie
    I'll give you one chance.
    Tell me your favorite spell.
[17:38] Frieren
    A spell to create a field of flowers.
[17:43] Serie
    That's the spell Flamme taught you.
[17:46] Serie
    How truly useless.
[17:47] Serie
    You fail.
[17:50] Frieren
    Uh-huh.
[17:55] Serie
    You won't even stand your ground
    when I mock you?
[17:59] Serie
    I find it hard to believe a mage
    like you defeated the Demon King.
[18:07] Frieren
    I didn't do it alone.
[18:10] Frieren
    Himmel, Eisen, Heiter, and me.
[18:14] Frieren
    If any one of us hadn't been there,
    we couldn't have won.
[18:18] Serie
    So you were blessed with strong allies.
[18:20] Serie
    You were lucky.
[18:23] Frieren
    That's right. I was lucky.
[18:28] (Flashback) Frieren
    Himmel, why did you recruit me?
[18:34] (Flashback) Himmel
    Because I was looking for a powerful mage.
[18:37] (Flashback) Frieren
    There are plenty of powerful mages
    in the royal capital.
[18:40] (Flashback) Frieren
    It didn't have to be me.
[18:42] (Flashback) Himmel
    I wanted you.
[18:44] (Flashback) Frieren
    Why?
[18:47] (Flashback) Himmel
    Frieren, you may not remember,
    but I once met you a long time ago.
[18:55] (Flashback) Frieren
    Yeah, I don't remember that at all.
[18:57] (Flashback) Himmel
    I know you don't.
[18:59] (Flashback) Himmel
    When I was a child, I got lost
    while gathering herbs in the forest.
[19:05] (Flashback) Himmel
    Wandering the woods for hours at night,
[19:08] (Flashback) Himmel
    I experienced loneliness
    for the first time in my life.
[19:12] (Flashback) Himmel
    I thought I'd never be able
    to return to my village.
[19:18] (Flashback) Himmel
    That was when a lone elf pointed me
    in the direction of the village.
[19:24] (Flashback) Himmel
    All she did was show me which way it was.
    She spoke not a word of encouragement.
[19:30] (Flashback) Himmel
    To the eyes of a child,
    she seemed so cold-hearted.
[19:35] (Flashback) Himmel
    Perhaps she sensed my unease,
    or perhaps it was on a whim...
[19:46] (Flashback) Himmel
    You showed me a spell
    to create a field of flowers.
[19:57] (Flashback) Himmel
    I thought it was beautiful.
[19:59] (Flashback) Himmel
    For the first time in my life,
    I thought magic was beautiful.
[20:07] Frieren
    It's probably just a coincidence,
[20:11] Frieren
    but it was that useless spell
    my master taught me
[20:14] Frieren
    that brought me and my companions together.
[20:20] Frieren
    Also, Serie, I'm sure you intend
    to fail Fern as well,
[20:26] Frieren
    but I doubt you'll be able to.
[20:30] Frieren
    She will exceed your expectations.
[20:34] Frieren
    The era of humans has arrived.
[20:40] Serie
    Exceed my expectations? Hardly.
[20:42] Serie
    The sight of my mana has her frozen in place.
[20:46] Serie
    She's no different from the other test-takers.
[20:54] Serie
    Wait. What do you see?
[21:03] Fern
    It's fluctuating.
[21:09] Serie
    Fern, was it?
[21:11] Serie
    Be my student.
[21:15] Fern
    What? No.
[21:22] Serie
    I'll treat you well.
[21:25] Serie
    I can take you to greater heights.
[21:31] Serie
    To heights no other mage has ever reached.
[21:39] Fern
    Does this affect whether or not I pass?
[21:42] Serie
    Perhaps.
[21:47] Fern
    I see.
[21:51] Fern
    Ms. Serie.
[22:01] Frieren
    Fern.
[22:03] (Flashback) Frieren
    I'm sure Serie will have
    a lot of things to say to you,
[22:06] (Flashback) Frieren
    but there's no need for you
    to accept her demands.
[22:09] (Flashback) Frieren
    Just as Serie will fail me
    no matter what I say,
[22:13] (Flashback) Frieren
    she will pass you no matter what you say.
[22:17] (Flashback) Frieren
    After all, Serie's intuition is always right.
[22:23] Fern
    I am Ms. Frieren's student.
[22:33] Serie
    Frieren coached you, didn't she?
[22:36] Serie
    I'm not foolish enough
    to overlook a promising mage.
[22:42] Serie
    You pass.
[22:48] Serie
    Next.

[22:53] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    Yeah, I hear you (I care about you)
[22:56] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    The wind teases this hair that's longer now
[23:01] [SONG] Ed Lyrics
    There's meaning in everything
[23:04] [SONG] Ed Lyrics

[23:13] [SONG] Ed Lyrics

    Why? They begin to overflow
[23:25] [SONG] Ed Lyrics

[23:37] [SONG] Ed Lyrics

[00:03] Fern
    I am Ms. Frieren's student.
[00:08] Serie
    You pass.
[00:12] Serie
    Next.
[00:23] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    You're there like the wind
[00:27] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Closing your eyes at sunset
[00:31] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    I wonder what's on your mind
SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
[00:41] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    With your eyelids open
[00:45] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Your eyes shone like glass
[00:50] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    It faintly smelled like a sunny day
[01:03] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Clear up the sky, let flowers bloom
[01:08] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Bloom and blame it on the sunny sky
[01:12] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Even the rain, when it stops
[01:17] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Will make you shine in the sunlight
[01:22] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Calm the stirring sounds in my heart
[01:27] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    We go like the sunny wind
[01:31] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Go on and fly over that cloud
[01:35] [SONG] Op Lyrics
    Further and further away
[01:45] Serie
    Denken the Imperial Mage.
    I know all about you.
[01:51] Denken
    I'm honored.
[01:54] Serie
    A self-made military mage who rose to be
    the most influential in the northern lands.
[02:02] Serie
    It's an oft-heard heroic tale.
[02:05] Serie
    Honestly, I wish I could've met you
    when you were still young,
[02:12] Serie
    full of drive and ambition.
[02:19] Serie
    I have no interest in burnt-out ashes.
[02:25] Serie
    Or so I believed.
[02:31] Denken
    Do you feel differently now?
[02:33] Serie
    When you saw me, you thought about
    how you'd fight me, didn't you?
[02:41] Denken
    Only for a moment.
    I immediately abandoned the idea.
[02:46] Serie
    You pass. There's still a fire in you.
[02:50] Serie
    Normally it wouldn't even occur
    to someone to fight me.
[02:55] Serie
    Next.
[03:01] Serie
    You pass.
[03:02] Übel
    What? But we haven't even spoken yet.
[03:07] Serie
    Do we need to?
[03:10] Übel
    I guess not.
[03:12] Serie
    Next.
[03:17] Serie
    Is this some kind of joke?
[03:20] Land
    What do you mean?
[03:21] Serie
    This is the first-class mage exam.
[03:23] Serie
    What kind of idiot never even sets foot
    into the examination grounds?
[03:28] Land
    As you can see, my flesh-and-blood
    body is here, too.
[03:34] Land
    I wouldn't want to be disqualified.
[03:35] Serie
    Throughout the exam period, your actual
    body never left your hometown.
[03:42] Serie
    Are you enjoying some tea right now?
[03:48] Land
    I'm surprised.
[03:50] Land
    Not even Übel noticed.
[03:53] Serie
    You've got guts. You pass.
[03:56] Serie
    Next.
[03:59] Serie
    You're Wirbel, captain of
    the Northern Magic Corps.
[04:03] Serie
    Of the second-class mages I know,
    you're the most combat-oriented.
[04:08] Serie
    With a single look, you realized
    you couldn't beat me in battle.
[04:13] Serie
    But that wasn't a judgment made out of fear.
[04:16] Wirbel
    An idiot prone to picking fights he can't win
    wouldn't even make it to second-class mage.
[04:21] Serie
    That's true.
[04:25] Serie
    Tell me, what's your favorite spell?
[04:27] Wirbel
    Magic is a tool for killing.
[04:30] Wirbel
    I neither like nor dislike any spells.
[04:34] Serie
    You pass.
[04:35] Seire
    Next.
[04:41] Serie
    What did you think when you saw me?
[04:45] Methode
    Um, I thought you were small and cute.
[04:52] Serie
    What's wrong with this year's test-takers?
[04:56] Serie
    You pass.
[05:04] Serie
    Sense.
[05:06] Serie
    My apologies. We do have
    a bumper crop this year.
[05:15] Scharf
    I failed.
[05:16] Wirbel
    There's always next time.
[05:18] Land
    Stop following me.
[05:21] Kanne
    Three years, huh?
[05:24] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, I passed.
[05:28] Frieren
    Well done.
[05:31] Denken
    Frieren.
[05:34] Denken
    I made it this far because of you two.
[05:38] Denken
    Finally, I can visit a certain grave
    in my hometown.
[05:43] Frieren
    I see.
[05:52] Stark
    Hey, Fern.
[05:54] Stark
    Have you decided yet?
[06:07] Fern
    I'd like—
[06:07] Laufen
    Old man, I want these.
[06:12] Denken
    Well, well.
[06:18] Denken
    Don't be shy. Eat up.
[06:21] Denken
    When I was young, I hardly
    ever got to eat sweet things.
[06:27] Fern
    Thank you.
[06:34] Stark
    What's going on here?
[06:39] Denken
    Have some, young man.
[06:43] Stark
    Thanks, old man.
[06:53] Stark
    Who is he?
[06:54] Fern
    Mr. Denken the Imperial Mage.
[06:58] Stark
    An imperial mage?
[07:05] Stark
    You mean he's a noble?!
[07:07] Stark
    I'm sorry for speaking so casually to you.
[07:11] Denken
    It's fine. I came to this city
    as a mage like any other.
[07:16] Stark
    But you shouldn't feel obliged
    to treat a stranger like me...
[07:20] Denken
    I have no other use for my money.
[07:23] Stark
    There must be something.
[07:26] Fern
    He's right. Don't you have grandchildren?
[07:30] Denken
    I have no children or grandchildren.
[07:33] Denken
    My wife passed away when
    I was in my mid-twenties.
[07:39] Denken
    She was always sickly.
[07:43] Denken
    She was the daughter of a frontier noble
[07:44] Denken
    of the Northern Plateau who was
    defeated in a political dispute.
[07:49] Denken
    Back then, I was in need of both
    wealth and influence.
[07:54] Denken
    Those were the only ways I knew to save her.
[07:59] Denken
    When Serie established the
    Continental Magic Association
[08:02] Denken
    and began offering the privilege,
[08:04] Denken
    it was just after my wife had already passed.
[08:08] Denken
    I'd never felt more powerless.
[08:13] Denken
    It's ironic. These days, I could
    order entire nations around.
[08:22] Denken
    Fern.
[08:23] Denken
    For me, magic was only ever a tool
    to resolve political disputes.
[08:29] Denken
    Tell Frieren she reminded me
    of how fun magic can be.
[08:38] Denken
    The whole reason I became a mage was because
[08:42] Denken
    I admired her deeds in the party of heroes.
[08:47] Fern
    You should tell her that yourself.
[08:49] Fern
    I'm sure she'd be glad to hear it.
[08:53] Denken
    You're right. That's what I'll do.
[09:06] Frieren
    The magical city of Äußerst didn't disappoint.
[09:09] Frieren
    I bought a bunch of good grimoires.
[09:19] Wirbel
    Hey, old woman.
[09:21] Wirbel
    You want those in this basket, right?
[09:27] Wirbel
    How could you just ignore her?
[09:30] Frieren
    Honestly, I did think about it a little.
[09:32] Wirbel
    Just a little?
[09:35] Wirbel
    I'm surprised. I thought one of Himmel's
    party members would be...
[09:39] Frieren
    Would be what?
[09:44] Frieren
    If anything, you surprised me.
[09:47] Frieren
    You tried to kill Fern's party
    during the first test, didn't you?
[09:51] Frieren
    Fern complained to me about it.
[09:53] Frieren
    She said you seemed like someone
    who'd kick a dog out of the way.
[09:56] Wirbel
    I get that a lot.
[09:59] Wirbel
    All I did was threaten them.
[10:02] Wirbel
    Though there was one of them whose death
    would probably make the world a better place.
[10:09] Wirbel
    I'd do anything to protect my hometown.
[10:14] Wirbel
    I wanted to become a first-class mage for
    the privilege of learning any spell I desired.
[10:20] Wirbel
    With a more powerful spell,
    I can slaughter more demons.
[10:25] Wirbel
    But even in other parts of the world,
    I do everything I can to help people in need.
[10:33] Frieren
    Why?
[10:37] Wirbel
    My hometown is on the northern frontier.
[10:41] Wirbel
    There are countless stories
    about Himmel the Hero there.
[10:48] Wirbel
    The conquest of the Thousand-Mirror Tower.
[10:50] Wirbel
    His battles against Böse the Immortal,
    the Seven Sages of Destruction,
[10:53] Wirbel
    and the Hell Emperor Dragon.
[10:55] Wirbel
    When I was a kid, I loved
    those adventure stories.
[11:01] Wirbel
    But the village elders hardly
    ever talked about them.
[11:07] Wirbel
    They'd talk about how he defeated the monsters
[11:10] Wirbel
    that attacked the village,
    or how he guarded some merchant,
[11:12] Wirbel
    or even how he just helped
    carry stuff like a porter.
[11:17] Wirbel
    They were hardly impressive.
    Just a bunch of boring stories.
[11:21] Wirbel
    That's what I thought, anyway.
[11:23] Wirbel
    But you could tell how happy the village
    elders were when they told those stories.
[11:32] Wirbel
    After Himmel the Hero died
[11:35] Wirbel
    and the remaining demons started
    acting up, I finally understood.
[11:49] Wirbel
    The Thousand-Mirror Tower, Böse,
    the Hell Emperor Dragon,
[11:54] Wirbel
    even the Demon King—none of that
    had anything to do with my village.
[11:59] Wirebl
    Everyone had their hands full
    just maintaining their everyday life.
[12:05] Wirbel
    If Himmel the Hero
    hadn't come to my village,
[12:09] Wirbel
    then I doubt it'd still be there,
    whether he saved the world or not.
[12:14] Frieren
    I see. What are you trying to say?
[12:17] Wirbel
    Those stories of Himmel's less exciting
    adventures were what guided me here.
[12:26] Wirbel
    That's all I'm trying to say.
[12:31] Wirbel
    I've been talking for too long.
[12:34] Wirbel
    I'm heading back with those guys.
[12:41] Wirbel
    Frieren, you should treasure
    the encounters you have.
[12:45] Wirbel
    Death isn't the only goodbye in this life.
[12:51] Wirbel
    But I guess you already know that.
[13:01] (Flashback) Heiter
    Frieren, can't you magic us
    across one by one?
[13:07] (Flashback) Frieren
    Then I'd be left all alone on this side.
[13:10] (Flashback) Eisen
    Himmel, we need to defeat the
    Demon King as soon as possible.
[13:16] (Flashback) Eisen
    What point is there in helping people
    in these insignificant ways?
[13:23] (Flashback) Himmel
    You're right that they're insignificant.
[13:26] (Flashback) Himmel
    Such deeds won't change the world.
[13:32] (Flashback) Himmel
    But I won't ignore those in need
    right in front of me.
[13:48] Frieren
    Don't worry, Himmel.
[13:51] Frieren
    The world has changed.
[13:57] Fern
    We'll be granted our privileges tonight,
    and we're each allowed to bring guests.
[14:02] Fern
    Since we have the opportunity,
    let's all go together.
[14:08] Fern
    She looks really unhappy about the idea.
[14:12] Fern
    I was told we're allowed to bring guests.
[14:17] Clerk
    I'm sorry, but Ms. Frieren
    is prohibited per Ms. Serie.
[14:22] Clerk
    For the next thousand years,
[14:24] Clerk
    she is barred from entering any
    Continental Magic Association facility.
[14:28] Fern
    What exactly did she do to deserve this?
[14:32] Frieren
    It can't be helped.
    I rubbed Serie the wrong way.
[14:38] Frieren
    She's like a child.
[14:41] Frieren
    It's not as though
    I wanted to be here anyway.
[14:45] Frieren
    I'll wait outside.
[14:50] Stark
    I'll wait outside, too.
[14:54] Stark
    Hey.
[15:05] Stark
    That's the early evening bell.
[15:07] Frieren
    They should be done receiving
    their privileges soon.
[15:10] Stark
    Yeah.
[15:12] Frieren
    A first-class mage.
[15:14] Frieren
    The highest level of mage,
    of whom fewer than fifty exist.
[15:18] Frieren
    Fern has grown so much.
[15:25] Frieren
    In this era, Fern will probably
    become a more famous mage than me.
[15:33] Stark
    Frieren.
[15:35] Frieren
    I'm glad.
[15:39] Stark
    Me too.
[15:40] Lernen
    Ms. Frieren.
[15:45] Stark
    Who is he?
[15:46] Frieren
    A member of the Continental Magic Association.
[15:48] Lernen
    I'm the first-class mage Lernen,
    one of Ms. Serie's students.
[15:55] Lernen
    I'm sorry for the trouble
    Ms. Serie has caused you.
[15:59] Frieren
    It's fine. She's always been like that.
[16:06] Stark
    What is it, Frieren?
[16:10] Frieren
    You can see the fluctuations
    in my mana, can't you?
[16:15] Frieren
    You're incredibly skilled.
    This peaceful era doesn't suit you.
[16:20] Lernen
    You're right. I am an old-fashioned mage
    who only knows battle.
[16:27] Lernen
    Ms. Serie often says the same thing.
[16:30] Lernen
    If I'd been born during the era in which
    we fought the Demon King's forces,
[16:33] Lernen
    I would've gone down in history
    alongside the other famous heroes.
[16:39] Frieren
    I see. So what do you want from me?
[16:43] Lernen
    The only one of Ms. Serie's students
    whose name is remembered is her first,
[16:47] Lernen
    the Great Mage Flamme
    spoken of in fairy tales.
[16:52] Lernen
    Once I grow old and die, yet another
    proof of her existence will disappear.
[16:59] Lernen
    I don't want her to be alone in the future,
[17:05] Lernen
    even if it means going down in infamy
    as the killer of the legendary mage Frieren.
[17:30] Lernen
    I request a duel, Ms. Frieren.
[17:34] Frieren
    I won't fight you. It'd be a waste of time.
[17:38] Frieren
    Honestly.
[17:40] Frieren
    Mages who only know how to fight
    can be so awkward.
[17:46] Frieren
    There's no need for you to go down in history.
[17:51] Frieren
    Serie will remember you.
[17:57] (Flashback) Frieren
    One last thing.
[18:00] (Flashback) Frieren
    This field of flowers was conjured by magic.
[18:05] (Flashback) Serie
    So what?
[18:07] (Flashback) Frieren
    It was my master's favorite spell.
[18:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    Didn't you call it useless?
[18:17] (Flashback) Serie
    Honestly, Flamme was a failure.
[18:21] (Flashback) Serie
    Despite all her talent,
    she failed to reach my heights.
[18:28] (Flashback) Serie
    I taught many students after her.
[18:32] (Flashback) Serie
    Most died without ever reaching my level.
[18:37] (Flashback) Serie
    But it's strange.
[18:40] (Flashback) Serie
    They were students I chose on a whim,
[18:43] (Flashback) Serie
    but I can clearly recall each one's
    personality and favorite spell.
[18:50] (Flashback) Serie
    Frieren, for some reason, I've never
    regretted taking on any of my students.
[18:57] (Flashback) Serie
    Even if they never made their mark on history.
[19:02] Frieren
    She can't even tell her own students
    how she truly feels.
[19:07] Frieren
    She truly is a child.
[19:15] Fern
    Ms. Frieren.
[19:17] Fern
    I received my privilege.
[19:19] Frieren
    Shall we go, then?
[19:21] Fern
    Ms. Frieren, how did you get
    that injury on your shoulder?
[19:25] Frieren
    I'd better get it healed at the church.
[19:28] Frieren
    Do you think they're still open?
[19:31] Lernen
    Truly, we are awkward.
[19:36] Lernen
    Both you and I.
[19:42] Boy
    Stark, what are we gonna do today?
[19:45] Stark
    Sorry, but I can't play today.
[19:48] Townsfolk A
    Stark, did you have breakfast this morning?
[19:51] Stark
    I already ate.
[19:53] Townsfolk B
    Stark, have some of this.
[19:55] Stark
    Hey, thanks.
[19:58] Old Man
    The path of the warrior
    is long and treacherous.
[20:01] Old Man
    Take care.
[20:03] Stark
    I will.
[20:08] Frieren
    It's time to say goodbye to Äußerst.
[20:12] Fern
    People love you
    everywhere you go, Mr. Stark.
[20:15] Stark
    Yeah?
[20:17] Frieren
    By the way, Fern, what spell
    did you end up asking for yesterday?
[20:28] Fern
    Can't you tell?
[20:30] Frieren
    Your clothes are clean.
[20:35] Freiren
    And they smell vaguely floral.
[20:38] Frieren
    Could it be...
[20:41] Fern
    It's a spell to make clothes
    clean and spotless.
[20:44] Fern
    This will make laundry a breeze.
[20:47] Frieren
    Serie the Living Grimoire
    lived up to her name.
[20:50] Frieren
    That's a legendary-level spell
    from the era of mythology.
[20:56] Frieren
    Well done, Fern.
[20:59] Frieren
    That's my student.
[21:05] Fern
    Of course, Ms. Frieren.
[21:08] Fern
    Ms. Serie didn't seem at all
    happy about it, though.
[21:12] (Flashback) Serie
    Are you insane?
[21:15] Frieren
    I'm sure. Serves her right.
[21:21] Kanne
    They're here.
[21:24] Kanne
    Frieren, thank you for everything.
[21:28] Lawine
    We didn't pass this time,
    but we'll try again in three years.
[21:33] Frieren
    I see. That's good.
[21:36] Lawine
    It's been fun.
[21:37] Kanne
    Take care.
[21:39] Frieren
    See you later.
[21:40] Kanne
    Yeah. See you later.
[21:53] Fern
    That was a rather quick goodbye,
    just like with Sein.
[21:58] Stark
    And Kraft.
[22:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    Himmel, you always say quick goodbyes.
[22:15] (Flashback) Himmel
    You think that's strange?
[22:17] (Flashback) Eisen
    It doesn't seem like you.
[22:20] (Flashback) Eisen
    It was just a side job, but we still
    spent two weeks traveling together.
[22:24] (Flashback) Heiter
    And we drank with him practically every night.
[22:28] Frieren
    You corrupt priest.
[22:30] (Flashback) Himmel
    You're right.
[22:32] (Flashback) Himmel
    But I'm sure we'll run into each other again
    if we continue traveling.
[22:38] (Flashback) Himmel
    Tearful goodbyes aren't our style.
[22:46] (Flashback) Himmel
    After all, it would be embarrassing
    when we met again.
[24:05] Frieren
    It would be embarrassing when we met again.
[24:10] Fern
    What does that mean?
