[00:08] Frieren
    Who are you? Visiting hours are over.
[00:13] Draht
    I am Draht, one of Aura the
    Guillotine's executioners.
[00:19] Draht
    I am here to kill you.
[00:22] Frieren
    I see. Done pretending to negotiate?
[00:26] Draht
    We're just getting started.
[00:28] Frieren
    Uh-huh.
[00:32] Frieren
    Just so you know, I'm strong.
[00:35] Draht
    Stronger than me?
[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.
[22:42] Lügner
    Frieren the Slayer.

    Frieren the Slayer
[22:46] Lügner
    One of the geniuses I despise.
[24:20] Linie
    Lord Lügner will be upset with me again.
[24:20] Stark
    Seriously? This is crazy.
[24:20] Priest
    You'll have to rest for a while.
[24:22] Frieren
    You demons are monsters after all.
[24:23] Lügner
    Any demon can do it.
[24:23] Aura
    Because I have an overwhelming advantage.
[24:23] Frieren
    I can kill you without mercy.
[24:26] Granat
    It was Aura, one of the
    Seven Sages of Destruction.
