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.

    Phantoms of the Dead
[25:57] Fern
    This is a phantom of the dead.
