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.

    Long-Lived Friends
[24:27] Frieren
    He's a long-lived friend of mine.
