**[00:16] (Flashback) Young Gorilla**
Hey, Sein!
**[00:23] (Flashback) Young Gorilla**
That mage said they'd take our photo.
**[00:27] (Flashback) Young Sein**
A photo? What's that?
**[00:46] (Flashback) Young Gorilla**
Don't worry about it. Come on.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Young Gorilla**
This is the start of our legend!
***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.
***SIGN*** Episode 17
Take Care
**[24:04] Sein**
Take care, then.
