1. Like a fairy tale
Copy !req
2. It's a sign the story has reached its end
Copy !req
3. Like a single passage taken from
Copy !req
4. A journey that was too long
Copy !req
5. Of the evil that once cast a shadow
Copy !req
6. Across this land
Copy !req
7. And the memories of the short journey
Copy !req
8. With the hero who defeated it
Copy !req
9. Beyond Journey's End
Copy !req
10. The story ends
Copy !req
11. And the hero goes to sleep
Copy !req
12. Leaving this land with
Copy !req
13. Days of peace and quiet
Copy !req
14. The passage of time heartlessly
Copy !req
15. Makes people forget
Copy !req
16. Even the tracks left behind by his life
Copy !req
17. Begin to rust
Copy !req
18. Just the same
Copy !req
19. Your words and wishes and courage
Copy !req
20. Are still inside of me
Copy !req
21. And they live on
Copy !req
22. We chose the same path
Copy !req
23. That's all it was supposed to be
Copy !req
24. Why is it that at some point
Copy !req
25. I wanted to understand the reason for
Copy !req
26. The tears that fall down my cheeks
Copy !req
27. Even now
Copy !req
28. If I retrace the journey we walked together
Copy !req
29. Even though you're not there
Copy !req
30. I know I'll be able to find it
Copy !req
31. At the northernmost end of the continent,
I arrived at the place that
the people of this world call heaven:
Aureole, the land where souls rest.
Copy !req
32. Many souls gather there, and I spoke with
friends who once fought alongside me.
—Flamme the Legendary Mage
Copy !req
33. Frieren.
Copy !req
34. The royal capital's in sight.
Copy !req
35. The adventurers are making
their triumphant return.
Copy !req
36. They must be celebrating in the city.
Copy !req
37. We'll have to look for work once we're back.
Copy !req
38. You're already thinking about that?
Copy !req
39. It's important, after all.
Copy !req
40. We've defeated the Demon King,
but it's not over.
Copy !req
41. We have the whole rest
of our lives ahead of us.
Copy !req
42. Work, huh?
Copy !req
43. I'd like something where
I can drink on the job.
Copy !req
44. Aren't you a priest?
Copy !req
45. I suppose you're right.
Copy !req
46. Frieren, the life ahead of you will surely
be much longer than we can imagine.
Copy !req
47. Perhaps.
Copy !req
48. Beyond Journey's End
Copy !req
49. Himmel the Hero,
Copy !req
50. Eisen the Warrior, Heiter the Priest,
Copy !req
51. and Frieren the Mage.
Copy !req
52. Thank you for defeating the Demon King.
Copy !req
53. Now our world will enter an age of peace.
Copy !req
54. The king's going to erect
statues of us in the plaza.
Copy !req
55. I'm not sure they'll be able to faithfully
recreate my handsome looks, though.
Copy !req
56. How self-serving of him.
Copy !req
57. He only gave us ten copper coins
when we left on our adventure.
Copy !req
58. Now, now, Frieren.
Tonight, we drink for free.
Copy !req
59. I'd say we're even, wouldn't you?
Copy !req
60. You corrupt priest.
Copy !req
61. It's over.
Copy !req
62. Yeah.
Copy !req
63. This is the end of our adventure.
Copy !req
64. It's been ten years, huh?
Copy !req
65. We've been through a lot.
Copy !req
66. The day we departed...
Copy !req
67. Himmel and Eisen were nearly executed
for speaking rudely to the king.
Copy !req
68. Kill them.
Copy !req
69. We'll give them a talking to.
Copy !req
70. Shall we lick your boots?
Copy !req
71. One misstep, and our adventure
would've ended there.
Copy !req
72. Sometimes, Heiter was too
hungover to do anything.
Copy !req
73. You're as pallid as an undead.
Are you all right?
Copy !req
74. No.
Copy !req
75. No, huh?
Copy !req
76. It was a weekly occurrence.
Copy !req
77. I, on the other hand, was exceptional.
Copy !req
78. We thought about leaving you behind
when that mimic tried to eat you.
Copy !req
79. Seriously? We told her it was a trap.
Copy !req
80. It's dark and scary in here!
Copy !req
81. Why don't we leave the elf behind?
Copy !req
82. We have nothing but terrible memories.
Copy !req
83. But I had fun.
Copy !req
84. I'm glad I got to adventure with all of you.
Copy !req
85. Likewise.
Copy !req
86. It was a mere ten-year adventure.
Copy !req
87. "A mere ten-year adventure"?
Copy !req
88. But that's an entire decade
we spent adventuring together.
Copy !req
89. Look at Heiter. He's turned into an old man.
Copy !req
90. That's rude.
Copy !req
91. He always looked like that.
Copy !req
92. That's rude.
Copy !req
93. It's nearly time.
Copy !req
94. The Era Meteor Shower, was it?
Copy !req
95. It happens once every fifty years.
Copy !req
96. Perfect for marking the
start of an era of peace.
Copy !req
97. They're beautiful.
Copy !req
98. The view's not so good
from inside the city, though.
Copy !req
99. I'm having a moment over here.
Don't spoil the mood.
Copy !req
100. Next time, then.
Copy !req
101. I know a place where you
can see them more clearly.
Copy !req
102. I'll take you there in fifty years.
Copy !req
103. What?
Copy !req
104. It's nothing.
Copy !req
105. You're right. Let's go see them together.
Copy !req
106. Well, I should go.
Copy !req
107. What are you going to do now?
Copy !req
108. I'm going to continue collecting spells.
Copy !req
109. I plan to travel around the central lands
for the next hundred years or so.
Copy !req
110. I'll stop by once in a while.
Copy !req
111. I can't understand what
being an elf must be like.
Copy !req
112. Seriously, how long has she been around?
Copy !req
113. To her, fifty or even a hundred years
might be a trifling thing.
Copy !req
114. Shadow dragon horns?
Copy !req
115. We don't have those here.
Copy !req
116. Haven't seen a shadow dragon
in twenty or thirty years.
Copy !req
117. I see. That's no good.
I need one for summoning.
Copy !req
118. Come to think of it, I think Himmel still has
the horn we got at the Demon King's castle.
Copy !req
119. It's exuding some kind of evil aura.
Copy !req
120. It's not harmful to people, is it?
Copy !req
121. I don't know.
Copy !req
122. You don't know, huh?
Copy !req
123. It's nearly time for the
Era Meteor Shower again.
Copy !req
124. I'll pick the horn up when I visit him.
Copy !req
125. The city's changed quite a bit
since I was last here.
Copy !req
126. It should be around here.
Copy !req
127. Frieren?
Copy !req
128. Himmel...
Copy !req
129. You're so old.
Copy !req
130. Do you have to put it so bluntly?
Copy !req
131. I'm still pretty handsome
at this age, though, aren't I?
Copy !req
132. It's been fifty years.
You look the same as you ever did.
Copy !req
133. I thought I'd never see you again.
Copy !req
134. The Era Meteor Shower, huh?
Copy !req
135. That brings back memories.
Copy !req
136. About that thing we looted from
the Demon King's castle...
Copy !req
137. You mean the shadow dragon horn?
Copy !req
138. I've never forgotten about it.
Copy !req
139. My cabinet's been exuding
an evil aura all this time.
Copy !req
140. Sorry, I think.
Copy !req
141. You could've stashed it
in a shed or something.
Copy !req
142. I couldn't do that.
Copy !req
143. You may not have thought much
of leaving it with me,
Copy !req
144. but to me, it was a treasure
entrusted to me by a dear friend.
Copy !req
145. I had to return it to you someday.
Copy !req
146. It's not that big a deal.
Copy !req
147. Himmel, are you ready yet?
Copy !req
148. You're bald, anyway. There's no point
in fussing over your appearance.
Copy !req
149. There are things we bald men
are particular about.
Copy !req
150. Now, shall we go see the Era Meteor Shower?
Copy !req
151. You've become rather dignified, Heiter.
Copy !req
152. I'm a bishop of the holy city, after all.
Copy !req
153. You haven't changed at all.
Copy !req
154. Don't pat my head.
Copy !req
155. Eisen, you haven't changed much.
Copy !req
156. Is that how I seem to you?
Copy !req
157. I would expect as much from a dwarf.
Copy !req
158. So, where's this place where we can
see the meteor shower clearly?
Copy !req
159. We're going there now?
Copy !req
160. It's a bit early to see the
Era Meteor Shower, isn't it?
Copy !req
161. Yeah. It's about a week's walk from here.
Copy !req
162. It's that far away?
Copy !req
163. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
164. You should be kinder to the elderly.
Copy !req
165. This brings back memories.
Copy !req
166. Traveling together like this makes me
feel like we've returned to those days.
Copy !req
167. We journeyed to all sorts of places.
Copy !req
168. Everything seemed so brilliant and new.
Copy !req
169. And you were always there
in those beautiful memories.
Copy !req
170. I'd been looking forward to the day
when we'd all be together again.
Copy !req
171. Thank you, Frieren.
Copy !req
172. Because of you, I had this delightful
adventure at the very end.
Copy !req
173. They're beautiful.
Copy !req
174. I think Himmel was happy.
Copy !req
175. You think so?
Copy !req
176. She was one of Mr. Himmel's companions?
Copy !req
177. I haven't seen her look sad once today.
Copy !req
178. How heartless.
Copy !req
179. Now, now! We're not wearing
sad expressions, either.
Copy !req
180. Show some respect, Bishop!
Copy !req
181. You're heartless!
Copy !req
182. You wound me.
Copy !req
183. It's not like I knew anything about him.
Copy !req
184. We only traveled together
for a mere ten years.
Copy !req
185. I knew human lives were short, but...
Copy !req
186. Why didn't I try to get to know him better?
Copy !req
187. Don't pat my head.
Copy !req
188. I should return to the holy city.
Copy !req
189. Let me get a good look at your faces.
Copy !req
190. This will probably be
the last time I see you.
Copy !req
191. Are you unwell?
Copy !req
192. My years of drinking have caught up to me.
Copy !req
193. It's divine punishment.
Copy !req
194. If you're ever in the holy city,
offer a drink at my grave.
Copy !req
195. Heiter, you're not afraid of dying?
Copy !req
196. We're the party of adventurers
that saved the world.
Copy !req
197. We'll surely be living the good life
in Heaven after death.
Copy !req
198. That's the whole reason
I fought alongside you.
Copy !req
199. You corrupt priest.
Copy !req
200. If you'll excuse me.
Copy !req
201. I should get going, too.
Copy !req
202. You're off to collect more spells?
Copy !req
203. There's that, too,
Copy !req
204. but I want to learn more about humans.
Copy !req
205. I see.
Copy !req
206. So I wanted to ask you something.
Copy !req
207. Seeing as how I'm a mage, having a powerful
warrior to defend me would be a huge help.
Copy !req
208. Give me a break.
Copy !req
209. I'm too old to swing an axe now.
Copy !req
210. Don't make that face, Frieren.
Copy !req
211. Surprisingly, life slows down
once you've lost your vigor.
Copy !req
212. I see.
Copy !req
213. I'll see you later, Eisen.
Copy !req
214. Yeah. See you later.
Copy !req
215. Episode 1: The Journey's End
Copy !req
216. That's the tree I saw earlier.
Copy !req
217. I always get lost in these woods.
Copy !req
218. Where am I?
Copy !req
219. 20 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
on the outskirts of the holy city of Strahl in the central lands
Copy !req
220. Are you looking for something?
Copy !req
221. Is something the matter?
Copy !req
222. I'm looking for the home
of a man named Heiter.
Copy !req
223. Then you're a visitor.
Copy !req
224. You're still alive, you corrupt priest?
Copy !req
225. Turns out it's harder than I thought
to make a stylish exit.
Copy !req
226. I brought some liquor to offer at your grave.
Copy !req
227. Would you like a drink?
Copy !req
228. I gave up drinking.
Copy !req
229. I see.
Copy !req
230. I doubt the Goddess will forgive you
even if you clean up your act now.
Copy !req
231. Thank you.
Copy !req
232. Who is she?
Copy !req
233. Her name is Fern.
Copy !req
234. She's a war orphan from the southern lands.
Copy !req
235. It's not like you to
volunteer to help people.
Copy !req
236. You're not Himmel, after all.
Copy !req
237. Frieren, why did you come to visit me?
Copy !req
238. I was in the holy city
picking up some things.
Copy !req
239. I've been trying to get to know the people
I meet on my travels as much as possible.
Copy !req
240. And I owe you a lot, so I came to
repay my debts before you died.
Copy !req
241. In that case, I have a request.
Copy !req
242. Will you take on an apprentice?
Copy !req
243. Fern has potential as a mage.
Copy !req
244. Will you take her with you on your travels?
Copy !req
245. I'm sorry, Heiter.
That's the one thing I can't do.
Copy !req
246. She'd only get in my way.
Copy !req
247. You know how often
apprentice mages die in battle.
Copy !req
248. I'm not sending a child my friend
asked me to look after to her death.
Copy !req
249. I see. Then I have another request.
Copy !req
250. This was unearthed from
the tomb of Ewig the Sage.
Copy !req
251. This grimoire is said to contain lost
spells of resurrection and immortality.
Copy !req
252. I find it hard to believe
such magic really exists.
Copy !req
253. That's part of why I'd like you to decipher it.
Copy !req
254. Can you do that?
Copy !req
255. It's written in code using pictures.
Copy !req
256. The people of this era
really liked this kind of thing.
Copy !req
257. I could do it, given five or six years.
Copy !req
258. I see.
Copy !req
259. But why do you want this deciphered?
Copy !req
260. I thought you weren't afraid of dying.
Copy !req
261. I have two reasons.
Copy !req
262. The first is that I when I said that,
I was just putting on a brave face for you.
Copy !req
263. The second is that I'm now more
afraid of dying than I was before.
Copy !req
264. Even if I can't achieve immortality,
I'd like a bit more time.
Copy !req
265. Besides, the holy texts tell us
to live healthy lives.
Copy !req
266. A long life is the ultimate
expression of that, Frieren.
Copy !req
267. You corrupt priest.
Copy !req
268. Also, in your spare time,
will you teach Fern magic?
Copy !req
269. As a priest, I don't have that knowledge.
Copy !req
270. I could do that.
Copy !req
271. There you are.
Copy !req
272. I've been looking everywhere for you.
Copy !req
273. Do you always train in the woods?
Copy !req
274. Was finding me difficult even for you?
Copy !req
275. Mr. Heiter often tells me
I'm practically invisible.
Copy !req
276. It's a very good thing, isn't it?
Copy !req
277. It is.
Copy !req
278. It's true. I can barely detect her mana.
Copy !req
279. Her control over her mana is exceptional.
Copy !req
280. How much has she studied at such a young age?
Copy !req
281. Mr. Heiter said when I can blast a hole
in that rock, I'll be a proper mage.
Copy !req
282. Oh? Heiter knows what he's
talking about. That's—
Copy !req
283. As you just saw, my magic
dissipates and doesn't reach it.
Copy !req
284. I see.
Copy !req
285. What should I do to train?
Copy !req
286. Can I ask you something first?
Copy !req
287. Do you like magic?
Copy !req
288. Somewhat.
Copy !req
289. Just like me, then.
Copy !req
290. And you alright
Copy !req
291. Can you hear me
Copy !req
292. Trailing along deserted train tracks
Copy !req
293. Crying excessively
Copy !req
294. Wanting you to smile
Copy !req
295. I hold on to memories I'd like to keep fresh
Copy !req
296. There's something I'd like to tell you
Copy !req
297. With words more precious than a goodbye
Copy !req
298. Unremarkable yet special
Copy !req
299. See, things that couldn't have been
Copy !req
300. Seen if it weren't for these eyes
Copy !req
301. Why? They begin to overflow
Copy !req
302. So, if I were to be born again
Copy !req
303. I would surely choose this place once more
Copy !req
304. So, if we were to meet again
Copy !req
305. I'd never let you go, I'd choose the present
Copy !req
306. Even if no promises were made
Copy !req
307. Even if I'm lost in days of loneliness
Copy !req
308. Those tears will be alright,
dawn will surely break
Copy !req
309. I'm whispering our lullaby
Copy !req
310. for you to come back home
Copy !req
311. Is Fern's training coming along smoothly?
Are you trying to put on
a brave face again, Heiter?
Copy !req
312. It saddens me to see him treated like this.
Copy !req
313. But they're worth looking for.
Magic sure is amazing, isn't it?
You keep collecting the strangest spells.
Copy !req
314. It'd be a waste for you to die.
Copy !req
315. Someday, I'd like to show them to you.
Copy !req
316. Episode 2
It Didn't Have to Be Magic...
Copy !req
317. It didn't have to be magic...
Copy !req
