1. I'm traveling
with you for this.
Copy !req
2. An old friend.
Copy !req
3. He left my village
ten years ago,
Copy !req
4. and it's time we saw
each other again.
Copy !req
5. Did you figure out
where Gorilla went?
Copy !req
6. Yeah. Tur.
Copy !req
7. It's a trading city
in the middle
Copy !req
8. of the Northern Lands.
Copy !req
9. That's a long way
to the east from here.
Copy !req
10. And in the exact
opposite direction of Auberst.
Copy !req
11. Yeah.
Copy !req
12. Frieren.
Copy !req
13. I came with you on this journey
for a chance to find him.
Copy !req
14. I know that.
Copy !req
15. The sun is going to set
any minute now.
Copy !req
16. Can't this decision wait
until the morning?
Copy !req
17. I asked the villagers
about a cabin.
Copy !req
18. They have one free,
and it's all ours.
Copy !req
19. Thank you.
Copy !req
20. I come bearing firewood.
Copy !req
21. And I come bearing dinner.
You're all very welcome.
Copy !req
22. My hands are freezing.
Copy !req
23. It has gotten rather cold out.
Copy !req
24. My goodness.
Copy !req
25. I'm impressed.
This might be a new record.
Copy !req
26. Let me see.
Copy !req
27. You really weren't kidding.
They're icicles.
Copy !req
28. Aren't they?
Copy !req
29. Oof.
Copy !req
30. You're a monster!
Copy !req
31. Definitely a new record.
Copy !req
32. Yeah.
They're frozen.
Copy !req
33. Ridiculous.
Copy !req
34. It's snowing.
Copy !req
35. Will we need to wait for winter
to pass this time around?
Copy !req
36. Well, this time there
aren't any steep mountains
Copy !req
37. for us to cross.
Copy !req
38. Unless a serious blizzard
blows our way,
Copy !req
39. we should be all right.
Copy !req
40. Looks serious.
Copy !req
41. Yup, that, it does.
Does indeed.
Copy !req
42. In this region,
Copy !req
43. a wave so strong
could last an entire month.
Copy !req
44. I don't recommend
venturing far.
Copy !req
45. Feel free to use the cabin
until it passes over.
Copy !req
46. It's up to you, Sein.
Should we try and leave?
Copy !req
47. You already know
the answer to that.
Copy !req
48. So, we're stuck here
until the cold lets up.
Copy !req
49. Sure seems like it.
Copy !req
50. At least
we're trapped in a place
Copy !req
51. with bars and shops.
Copy !req
52. The cabin's large.
Copy !req
53. Better than that mountaintop
hovel we stayed in before.
Copy !req
54. And more important
than anything else,
Copy !req
55. this village has
a lovely magic shop
Copy !req
56. run by a shady old man.
Copy !req
57. In my experience,
shops like those often have
Copy !req
58. legendary-level spells
lurking in the shadows.
Copy !req
59. This delay should give me
ample time
Copy !req
60. to explore it's depths.
Copy !req
61. Legendary-level magic?
Copy !req
62. Have you already run
into some spells like that?
Copy !req
63. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
64. We found one great spell
to get rid of mold,
Copy !req
65. and another to eradicate
those tough oil stains.
Copy !req
66. Incredible.
Copy !req
67. Find more.
Copy !req
68. Those little spells have been
nothing short of life changing.
Copy !req
69. They sound more like
granny's tips and tricks.
Copy !req
70. In any case, all we can do now
is wait it out.
Copy !req
71. To underestimate the winters
of the Northern Lands
Copy !req
72. is to die a bitter death
Copy !req
73. Truly.
Copy !req
74. It almost cost us Mister Stark,
Copy !req
75. but that lesson
has been learned.
Copy !req
76. I'm from
the Northern Lands, remember?
Copy !req
77. I've known that since birth.
Copy !req
78. Well, then.
Copy !req
79. Looks like our time together
Copy !req
80. hasn't quite run out yet
after all.
Copy !req
81. This wave
should be blowing over soon.
Copy !req
82. Before long, you adventurers
can continue on your journey.
Copy !req
83. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Copy !req
84. Oh, no.
Copy !req
85. We didn't spend any of our
"time together" together.
Copy !req
86. Sein?
Huh?
Copy !req
87. May I borrow you?
Copy !req
88. Must be something important.
Copy !req
89. Not often you see Frieren
at a tavern.
Copy !req
90. Fern and Stark are acting more
strangely than they usually do.
Copy !req
91. I believe
that they're fighting.
Copy !req
92. Could you mediate?
Copy !req
93. It doesn't cost me to say yes.
Copy !req
94. But why was I
your first thought?
Copy !req
95. Because being a peacemaker
is more of a priest job.
Copy !req
96. Is it?
Copy !req
97. What a sorry state of affairs.
Copy !req
98. Hey. So, who did what to whom?
Copy !req
99. It was all
Mister Stark's fault.
Copy !req
100. Yup. Always has been,
always will be.
Copy !req
101. We won't get anywhere
like this.
Copy !req
102. I need to speak with
each of you, one at a time.
Copy !req
103. So, what happened in there?
Copy !req
104. You remember that time
Fern touched my cheek?
Copy !req
105. When we first arrived here,
Copy !req
106. and her hands
were record-level cold?
Copy !req
107. Oh, yeah. I remember.
Copy !req
108. Well, today I tried to get her
back for it,
Copy !req
109. and she didn't like
that too much.
Copy !req
110. Come on,
are you a child?
Copy !req
111. I've known my share of women,
Copy !req
112. and none of them've welcomed
an uninvited hand to the face.
Copy !req
113. What do you
want to do about it?
Copy !req
114. I'd like to make up with her
if I can.
Copy !req
115. Listen, Stark.
Copy !req
116. Unlike me, you're actually
a good person at your core.
Copy !req
117. Be honest and tell her
how you feel.
Copy !req
118. If you want to make up
with the girl,
Copy !req
119. then you're gonna have
to be the one to tell her that.
Copy !req
120. You're a big boy now, and
Frieren's not one to mediate.
Copy !req
121. Yeah. Trust me, I know.
Copy !req
122. I'll apologize to Fern.
Copy !req
123. Stark feels bad
about what he did.
Copy !req
124. He's just a dumb kid.
Copy !req
125. And he didn't mean you
any harm.
Copy !req
126. I'm sure you're right.
Copy !req
127. I think that I'm ready
to apologize.
Copy !req
128. I was stubborn.
Copy !req
129. I'm the one who started it all
in the first place.
Copy !req
130. I don't even mind the fact
that he touched me.
Copy !req
131. It's just,
the arm he used to restrain
Copy !req
132. my shoulder was so strong.
Copy !req
133. I guess I was startled
and a little scared.
Copy !req
134. Do you not like Stark?
Copy !req
135. Why would you ever ask
such a thing?
Copy !req
136. Does it seem that way?
Copy !req
137. Go. Tell him he shouldn't be
grabbing you with full force
Copy !req
138. and make up with him.
Copy !req
139. Be gentler with me, please.
Copy !req
140. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
141. Those two
should just date already!
Copy !req
142. I'm not sure
what you did in there,
Copy !req
143. but I can tell that you worked
your very hardest, Sein.
Copy !req
144. Thanks for the help.
Good job.
Copy !req
145. You know, Frieren,
Copy !req
146. you're the only one who still
praises me like I'm a kid.
Copy !req
147. That's because you are a kid.
Copy !req
148. Eh. I suppose it isn't
all that bad.
Copy !req
149. Hey. I've been thinking
about something.
Copy !req
150. Why do you trouble yourself
with the likes of me?
Copy !req
151. I still don't know why you
invited me to travel with you.
Copy !req
152. Should I try again?
Copy !req
153. Must be my aversion
to my own kind.
Copy !req
154. The way you refused
to go on an adventure?
Copy !req
155. It reminded me of myself
Copy !req
156. before I left to defeat
the Demon King.
Copy !req
157. That angered me.
Copy !req
158. When something angers me,
I don't cart it across the map.
Copy !req
159. I'm not certain,
Copy !req
160. but I think what I really
wanted deep down
Copy !req
161. was to give you a reason.
Copy !req
162. What does that mean?
Copy !req
163. If he had been there,
Copy !req
164. it's what Himmel the Hero
would've done.
Copy !req
165. Come, Frieren.
Take my hand.
Copy !req
166. Let me be your reason
to go on a journey.
Copy !req
167. They gave me courage
to go into the world
Copy !req
168. I'd long hidden from.
Copy !req
169. They also taught me the joy
of spending time with friends.
Copy !req
170. Tell me, Sein.
Copy !req
171. Have you felt that joy?
Copy !req
172. Yeah.
Copy !req
173. This has been a lot of fun.
Copy !req
174. I'll change the world
like Himmel.
Copy !req
175. I'll be an unforgettable hero.
Copy !req
176. Don't dwell in the past
when you have the present.
Copy !req
177. Trust me.
Copy !req
178. Since intent couldn't be
assured with a look or a touch,
Copy !req
179. I decided to trust her words.
Copy !req
180. Gorilla talked
about you all the time.
Copy !req
181. His friend, Goatee Priest.
Copy !req
182. He said the two of you
would become heroes
Copy !req
183. whose names would be
remembered forever. Foolish.
Copy !req
184. I'm not going to live
with regrets anymore.
Copy !req
185. I've decided to go
after Gorilla.
Copy !req
186. I figured as much.
Copy !req
187. You all take care.
Copy !req
188. See you later.
Copy !req
189. Later.
Copy !req
190. That must've been the quickest
goodbye I've ever seen.
Copy !req
191. Well, unlike you two,
our friend Sein is an adult.
Copy !req
192. I'm sure he'll be fine.
Copy !req
193. It gets quiet fast
when you're on your own.
Copy !req
194. Huh? Really?
Copy !req
195. That's strange.
She'd usually be up by now.
Copy !req
196. We have been walking
a lot recently.
Copy !req
197. I guess she's worn out.
Copy !req
198. Eh. It's good enough.
Copy !req
199. Hey, your breakfast
is ready, Fern.
Copy !req
200. Get up or I'll eat it.
Copy !req
201. Huh? Hello?
Copy !req
202. Hey, Frieren? I need help.
Copy !req
203. Just gimme twelve more hours.
Copy !req
204. Yeah right. Not even you could
sleep for that long.
Copy !req
205. I'm worried Fern
might not be feeling so good.
Copy !req
206. C'mon.
Copy !req
207. You're a monster.
Copy !req
208. Oh, seems you have a fever.
Copy !req
209. What you need is warmth
and rest.
Copy !req
210. Let's see.
Copy !req
211. Hmm. That's odd.
Copy !req
212. I got some water.
Copy !req
213. Found it.
Copy !req
214. Huh? What is that?
Copy !req
215. Sein left us these notes.
Copy !req
216. Should shed some light on herbs
around here.
Copy !req
217. Aw, thanks, Sein.
Copy !req
218. Magic will help identify
her ailment,
Copy !req
219. and this book
will help find the cure.
Copy !req
220. I thought
identifying sicknesses
Copy !req
221. was the magic of the Goddess.
Copy !req
222. Before, you said only someone
Copy !req
223. with a holy scripture
could cast it.
Copy !req
224. That's exactly why I keep
a scripture on hand.
Copy !req
225. - What?
- Huh?
Copy !req
226. You're using it as a pot stand?
Copy !req
227. I may not be cut
from priestly cloth,
Copy !req
228. but even I can identify
simple illnesses.
Copy !req
229. The complex ones
are a different story.
Copy !req
230. Reassuring.
Copy !req
231. Good. It's just a cold.
Copy !req
232. Now to determine
which herbs to forage for.
Copy !req
233. Thinking back, I seem to recall
a place nearby
Copy !req
234. where I gathered herbs
with Himmel and the others.
Copy !req
235. Sounds good.
Copy !req
236. But first, let's get her
someplace out of the cold.
Copy !req
237. Smart thinking.
Copy !req
238. Oh?
Copy !req
239. You're a lifesaver, ma'am.
Copy !req
240. I didn't think that anybody
Copy !req
241. lived this deep
in the mountains.
Copy !req
242. There was a village here
when I stopped by before.
Copy !req
243. That village hasn't been around
for decades.
Copy !req
244. It was a prestigious
little spot, you know.
Copy !req
245. The hero himself
even paid it a visit once!
Copy !req
246. Please, feel free
to make yourselves at home.
Copy !req
247. Thank you.
Copy !req
248. There's a tree near here, yes?
Copy !req
249. A great icicle cherry blossom?
Copy !req
250. Yes. Just a bit to the north.
Copy !req
251. I must warn you, though,
it can be tricky to get to.
Copy !req
252. We can manage.
Copy !req
253. I've been there before.
Copy !req
254. Well,
I'll be working if you need me.
Copy !req
255. We're going to go gather
some ingredients.
Copy !req
256. We'll be back
with your medicine soon.
Copy !req
257. You haven't let go of her hand
once since we got here.
Copy !req
258. Because she seems
to be in pain.
Copy !req
259. When Fern is under
the weather,
Copy !req
260. nothing makes her feel
better than holding her hand.
Copy !req
261. She's been that way
since she was little.
Copy !req
262. What's wrong?
Copy !req
263. Mistress Frieren,
you're embarrassing me.
Copy !req
264. How so?
Copy !req
265. You're treating me
like a child,
Copy !req
266. which I am not.
Copy !req
267. I see. You're right.
Copy !req
268. In two years, she'll be
a full-fledged grown up.
Copy !req
269. Not long ago, she only came up
right to here on me.
Copy !req
270. I found myself feeling
rather tall in those days.
Copy !req
271. That sure didn't last.
Copy !req
272. Honestly, in my heart,
Copy !req
273. Fern's still that same
little girl.
Copy !req
274. I picture her as a child.
Copy !req
275. Probably always will.
Copy !req
276. Aw, Frieren.
Copy !req
277. We had better hurry up
and gather those herbs, then.
Copy !req
278. Yeah.
Copy !req
279. We should reach the icicle
Copy !req
280. cherry blossom tree soon.
Copy !req
281. Do we need
any more ingredients?
Copy !req
282. Or is the blossom the last one?
Copy !req
283. Sort of. What we want
is the mushrooms
Copy !req
284. that grow at the base.
Copy !req
285. Gorgeous. I so wish
we could've shown Fern.
Copy !req
286. These might be
my favorite flowers
Copy !req
287. that bloom in winter.
Copy !req
288. They're quite poisonous,
though, so be careful.
Copy !req
289. Hey, what was the deal
with you holding her hand?
Copy !req
290. Normally, you don't treat Fern
that much like a kid.
Copy !req
291. It was never my intention
to baby her.
Copy !req
292. I simply held her hand
because it looked like
Copy !req
293. she was hurting.
Copy !req
294. All these years,
and that's only way
Copy !req
295. I know to relieve her pain.
Copy !req
296. What do you suppose I should've
done to help instead?
Copy !req
297. I think you have to go
with your gut
Copy !req
298. when it comes
to things like that.
Copy !req
299. At least, that's what my master
always did.
Copy !req
300. Everybody needs some kind of
emotional support, don't they?
Copy !req
301. No one in their right mind
would push away
Copy !req
302. a shoulder to lean on.
Copy !req
303. Huh?
Copy !req
304. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
305. You were groaning a bit.
Copy !req
306. Sickness can make us
feel so helpless.
Copy !req
307. I lost my mother
when I was young,
Copy !req
308. but she used to hold my hand
just like this.
Copy !req
309. It's strangely calming.
Copy !req
310. You're treating me
the way you would a child?
Copy !req
311. It isn't just children
Copy !req
312. who need the occasional dose
of emotional support.
Copy !req
313. Is it bothering you?
Copy !req
314. I don't suppose so.
Copy !req
315. It isn't all that bad.
Copy !req
316. I try to be kind.
Amplifies my beauty.
Copy !req
317. Please be quiet.
Copy !req
318. At last! Medicine's ready.
Copy !req
319. Fern was only embarrassed
because I was there.
Copy !req
320. So don't feel bad.
Copy !req
321. Of course
she didn't want me to see.
Copy !req
322. It could risk her whole
tough girl facade.
Copy !req
323. Thanks for your insight, Stark.
Copy !req
324. I'll "go with my gut,"
as you say.
Copy !req
325. To repay you for your kindness,
Copy !req
326. I vow to hold your hand
the next time you get sick.
Copy !req
327. Please don't.
That's embarrassing.
Copy !req
328. Enough chat.
Time to gather some mushrooms.
Copy !req
329. Heave, ho!
Copy !req
330. That thing is way too big!
Freaky!
Copy !req
331. Now we just add
the other ingredients,
Copy !req
332. and mix slowly and steadily
until it's combined.
Copy !req
333. You look like a witch!
Actually freaky!
Copy !req
334. Open wide, Fern.
Copy !req
335. Thanks for the help, young man.
Copy !req
336. You're good at that.
Copy !req
337. You think so?
Copy !req
338. It's all right.
You'll feel better soon.
Copy !req
339. Mistress Frieren,
I'm not a child anymore.
Copy !req
340. I know.
Copy !req
341. That much is clear.
Copy !req
342. Take care
of yourselves out there, okay?
Copy !req
343. We will, ma'am!
Thank you for everything!
Copy !req
344. You're looking a lot better.
Copy !req
345. Thanks to a combination
of you two,
Copy !req
346. Mister Sein's
very generous notes, and her.
Copy !req
347. I couldn't have picked
a better spot to get sick.
Copy !req
348. I was in the best of hands.
Copy !req
349. Right. Come along, now.
Copy !req
350. Off to the city of magic.
Auberst awaits.
Copy !req
