**[00:01] Sein**
But this is the goal of my journey.
**[00:05] Sein**
To reunite with my friend
who departed ten years ago.
**[00:16] Frieren**
Did you figure out where Gorilla went?
**[00:20] Sein**
Tür.
**[00:22] Sein**
It's a trading city in the middle
of the northern lands.
**[00:25] Frieren**
That's a long ways east from here.
**[00:28] Frieren**
It's in the opposite
direction from Äußerst.
**[00:32] Sein**
Yeah.
**[00:42] Sein**
Frieren, I came on this journey
to chase after Gorilla.
**[00:48] Frieren**
I know.
**[00:50] Fern**
The sun's about to set.
**[00:53] Fern**
Can't we wait until tomorrow
to make a decision?
**[00:58] Stark**
I asked the village to lend us a cabin.
**[01:01] Stark**
They said we can use it
however we want.
**[01:03] Frieren**
Thank you.
**[01:17] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
You're there like the wind
**[01:20] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Closing your eyes at sunset
**[01:25] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
I wonder what's on your mind
***SIGN*** Beyond Journey's End
**[01:35] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
With your eyelids open
**[01:39] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Your eyes shone like glass
**[01:44] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
It faintly smelled like a sunny day
**[01:57] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Clear up the sky, let flowers bloom
**[02:02] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Bloom and blame it on the sunny sky
**[02:06] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Even the rain, when it stops
**[02:11] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Will make you shine in the sunlight
**[02:16] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Calm the stirring sounds in my heart
**[02:21] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
We go like the sunny wind
**[02:25] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Go on and fly over that cloud
**[02:29] [SONG] Op Lyrics**
Further and further away
***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.
**[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] Lernen**
Could I take a look at that?
**[24:20] Lawine**
Try it.
**[24:21] Übel**
Maybe I'll take a break.
**[24:22] Falsch**
This year's test-takers
seem rather exceptional.
**[24:22] Kanne**
You wanna fight, huh?
**[24:24] Fern**
I can't do this alone.
**[24:24] Kraft**
You have the eyes of a killer.
**[24:25] Frieren**
Don't call me an old mage.
**[24:26] Kanne**
Dunno.
**[24:27] Genau**
The first-class mage exam will now begin.
