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. Long-range magic is a combination of
three key factors essential to mages.
Copy !req
32. There's the amount of mana,
Copy !req
33. the strength with which it's fired, and the
level of control the mage has over it.
Copy !req
34. You know that much, don't you?
Copy !req
35. Yes.
Copy !req
36. Earlier, your magic dissipated
before it reached its target.
Copy !req
37. That's a sign that your mana
and firing strength are lacking.
Copy !req
38. It's not something you can fix overnight.
Copy !req
39. Regardless of your talent,
it'll take years to master.
Copy !req
40. However, your level of control
over the magic is very high.
Copy !req
41. That's what most people
tend to have trouble with.
Copy !req
42. But you've got no problems there,
Copy !req
43. so just be patient with yourself.
Copy !req
44. Okay.
Copy !req
45. Is Fern's training coming along smoothly?
Copy !req
46. In just four years, she's learned more
than most people do in ten.
Copy !req
47. She's studying too hard.
It's not a good thing.
Copy !req
48. She's been spending all her
time in the woods lately.
Copy !req
49. She must really love magic.
Copy !req
50. But she's still a long way
from becoming a proper mage.
Copy !req
51. I'll finish deciphering the
grimoire before she does.
Copy !req
52. I see.
Copy !req
53. Say, Heiter.
Copy !req
54. This grimoire probably...
Copy !req
55. Heiter?
Copy !req
56. Don't look at me like that.
Copy !req
57. If anything, it's a miracle
I've been mobile until now.
Copy !req
58. I'll try to decipher the grimoire quickly.
Copy !req
59. I'd appreciate that.
Copy !req
60. Fern, put your training on hold.
Copy !req
61. Heiter collapsed.
I need you to stay with him.
Copy !req
62. But I still haven't hit the rock.
Copy !req
63. You'll do it eventually. Right now—
Copy !req
64. Eventually isn't good enough.
Copy !req
65. Mr. Heiter will die before then.
Copy !req
66. He saved my life.
Copy !req
67. It'd be a waste for you to die now.
Copy !req
68. A waste?
Copy !req
69. A long time ago, I lost an old friend.
Copy !req
70. Unlike me, he was straight as an arrow,
Copy !req
71. and he never abandoned
anyone who was in need.
Copy !req
72. If he'd survived instead of me,
he would've saved a lot of people.
Copy !req
73. Since I'm not like him, I planned to
live out the rest of my days quietly,
Copy !req
74. but one day, I suddenly realized something.
Copy !req
75. If I died without doing anything,
Copy !req
76. all the courage, strength of will,
and friendship I learned from him—
Copy !req
77. even all my precious memories—
would vanish from this world.
Copy !req
78. If you have precious memories
inside yourself as well,
Copy !req
79. then I think it'd be a waste for you to die.
Copy !req
80. Mr. Heiter has always feared
dying and leaving me alone.
Copy !req
81. He did the right thing.
Copy !req
82. I don't want him to regret saving me.
Copy !req
83. I don't care if it's as a mage
or whatever else—
Copy !req
84. learning some kind of skill to support
myself is my way of repaying him.
Copy !req
85. I want him to be glad he saved me
and to know I'll be fine.
Copy !req
86. You remember everything
I've taught you, don't you?
Copy !req
87. Yes.
Copy !req
88. Then do as you like.
Copy !req
89. It didn't contain any spells for bringing
back the dead or granting immortality.
Copy !req
90. I see.
Copy !req
91. Did you know that already?
Copy !req
92. The fear of death is immeasurable.
Copy !req
93. If such spells existed,
Ewig would've cast them on himself.
Copy !req
94. Then why?
Copy !req
95. How is Fern?
Copy !req
96. She has room for improvement in some areas,
Copy !req
97. but it wouldn't be wrong
to call her a proper mage.
Copy !req
98. I see. Then she made it in time.
Copy !req
99. Now she won't get in your way, Frieren.
Copy !req
100. Will you bring her with you on your travels?
Copy !req
101. I'm sorry, Heiter.
That's the one thing I can't do.
Copy !req
102. She'd only get in my way.
Copy !req
103. You tricked me, Heiter.
Copy !req
104. Your payment for deciphering
the grimoire is in the desk drawer.
Copy !req
105. Please leave this place tonight.
Copy !req
106. Why?
Copy !req
107. As you can see, I don't have much longer.
Copy !req
108. I don't want her to experience
losing anyone else.
Copy !req
109. Frieren, please look after Fern.
Copy !req
110. Are you trying to put on
a brave face again, Heiter?
Copy !req
111. Fern has been ready to say goodbye
to you for some time now.
Copy !req
112. What you need to do before your death
Copy !req
113. is give her a proper farewell
Copy !req
114. and make as many memories as you can.
Copy !req
115. Frieren, you really are a kind girl.
Copy !req
116. Why did you save Fern?
Copy !req
117. It's what Himmel the Hero would've done.
Copy !req
118. You're right.
Copy !req
119. Then maybe I'll do the same.
Copy !req
120. Thank you.
Copy !req
121. Because of you, I was able to
repay my debt to Mr. Heiter.
Copy !req
122. He just tricked me, is all.
Copy !req
123. This corrupt priest.
Copy !req
124. Shall we go, then?
Copy !req
125. Episode 2: It Didn't Have to Be Magic...
Copy !req
126. 26 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
in the Turk region located in the central lands
Copy !req
127. That's enough, Fern.
Copy !req
128. We're finished.
Copy !req
129. Thank you for your help.
Copy !req
130. Here's your reward.
Copy !req
131. We've been doing such simple work.
Copy !req
132. That's how adventuring goes.
Copy !req
133. What were we paid in?
Copy !req
134. Folk magic. It's a spell
that produces warm tea.
Copy !req
135. We'll try it out later.
Copy !req
136. The other day we learned a spell
for removing rust from bronze statues.
Copy !req
137. Before that, we learned a spell
for turning sweet grapes into sour ones.
Copy !req
138. How is it?
Copy !req
139. Sour.
Copy !req
140. You keep collecting the strangest spells.
Copy !req
141. It's my hobby, after all.
Copy !req
142. Ms. Frieren, you really do love magic.
Copy !req
143. Only somewhat, like you.
Copy !req
144. I feel like we're a little different.
Copy !req
145. We're the same.
Copy !req
146. Will you really do something for me?
Copy !req
147. Since I'm an herbalist,
I don't have any spells to teach you.
Copy !req
148. That's fine. Just learning about
the local flora is helpful enough.
Copy !req
149. This is it.
Copy !req
150. It's a statue of Himmel the Hero.
Copy !req
151. It's in terrible shape, isn't it?
Copy !req
152. It's too much for one old woman to handle.
Copy !req
153. And the villagers don't care anymore.
Copy !req
154. Run!
Copy !req
155. When the village was attacked by a monster,
Copy !req
156. Mr. Himmel fought valiantly to defend us.
Copy !req
157. It saddens me to see him treated like this.
Copy !req
158. No, it's what he deserves.
It's Himmel's fault for wanting to show off.
Copy !req
159. When the villagers offered to make a statue
of him, he should have just declined.
Copy !req
160. Is this okay?
Copy !req
161. This pose isn't too handsome, is it?
Copy !req
162. Just hurry up and pick something.
Copy !req
163. He drove the sculptor mad
by spending 18 hours choosing a pose.
Copy !req
164. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
165. In the end, they settled on
a ridiculously plain one.
Copy !req
166. What a strange story.
Copy !req
167. Come to think of it, there was an
elven mage in the hero's party.
Copy !req
168. Shall we get this cleaned up?
Copy !req
169. Thank you.
Copy !req
170. Magic sure is amazing, isn't it?
Copy !req
171. There isn't a speck of rust left.
Copy !req
172. I wish there was a bit more color, though.
Copy !req
173. Perhaps I'll plant some flowers later.
Copy !req
174. Ms. Frieren, you have a spell that
produces a field of flowers, right?
Copy !req
175. You're right. I guess I could just
conjure something up...
Copy !req
176. No, blue moon weed flowers would be best.
Copy !req
177. What kind of flowers are those?
Copy !req
178. I don't know. I've never seen them.
Copy !req
179. Then why?
Copy !req
180. They grow in Himmel's hometown.
Copy !req
181. But you can't conjure flowers
you've never seen before.
Copy !req
182. Blue moon weed...
Copy !req
183. Now that's a name I haven't
heard in a long time.
Copy !req
184. Long ago, there used to be a
field of them in those woods.
Copy !req
185. They don't grow around here anymore?
Copy !req
186. They all died out.
Copy !req
187. It's been decades since they've
been spotted in these lands.
Copy !req
188. I see.
Copy !req
189. Let's go, Fern.
Copy !req
190. Okay.
Copy !req
191. You're hiding something.
Copy !req
192. I won't be mad, so show me what it is.
Copy !req
193. They're seed rats. Pests that consume seeds.
Copy !req
194. I'll release them in the woods.
Copy !req
195. Fern, shall we go look for blue moon weed?
Copy !req
196. Are you serious?
Copy !req
197. There was a field of them
in these woods until recently.
Copy !req
198. That was decades ago.
Copy !req
199. But they're worth looking for.
Copy !req
200. If we find and analyze them, we can acquire
a spell for conjuring blue moon weed flowers.
Copy !req
201. For Mr. Himmel?
Copy !req
202. No...
Copy !req
203. I'm probably doing this for myself.
Copy !req
204. Ms. Frieren, we've been searching for
blue moon weed for six months now.
Copy !req
205. You're right. Perhaps we should
broaden our search area.
Copy !req
206. Oh, I don't often see you on your own.
Copy !req
207. It's been a while since you
first came to the village.
Copy !req
208. Have you found any blue moon weed?
Copy !req
209. Do you think we'll find any?
Copy !req
210. Ms. Frieren's obsession with
magic is extraordinary.
Copy !req
211. At this rate, she'll continue searching
for years, if not decades.
Copy !req
212. She's a mage who possesses the
power to save many people.
Copy !req
213. She shouldn't spend her time searching
for something that doesn't exist.
Copy !req
214. You're so young.
Copy !req
215. Am I wrong?
Copy !req
216. I don't think so,
Copy !req
217. but Ms. Frieren must see things differently.
Copy !req
218. But since she's so much more
mature than we are,
Copy !req
219. I'm sure she'd understand if you honestly
conveyed those feelings to her.
Copy !req
220. These are the seeds of a related species
she kept for their medicinal properties.
Copy !req
221. Could we plant these around
Himmel's statue instead?
Copy !req
222. I get it, Fern.
Copy !req
223. I made you worry.
Copy !req
224. I'm not just spending my own time on this.
Copy !req
225. It's time to go.
Copy !req
226. I'll end my search soon.
Copy !req
227. How many years is soon?
Copy !req
228. Soon.
Copy !req
229. You don't know when to stop—
Copy !req
230. Shall we follow it?
Copy !req
231. Ms. Frieren, why do you collect spells?
Copy !req
232. It's just a hobby of mine.
Copy !req
233. I find that hard to believe.
Copy !req
234. It really is just a hobby.
Copy !req
235. I used to live much more apathetically.
Copy !req
236. Gross.
Copy !req
237. But then I got to know an idiot who
complimented the spells I gathered.
Copy !req
238. That's all.
Copy !req
239. That's a silly reason.
Copy !req
240. You're right.
Copy !req
241. Is that...
Copy !req
242. It's a petal.
Copy !req
243. They say seed rats bury their food
in safe places away from enemies.
Copy !req
244. They're clever animals, aren't they?
Copy !req
245. I wouldn't say that.
Copy !req
246. Since they bury their food in so many places,
they often forget where.
Copy !req
247. Blue moon weed?
Copy !req
248. It's a flower that grows in
my homeland. It's beautiful.
Copy !req
249. Not as beautiful as me, though.
Copy !req
250. Shall we get going?
Copy !req
251. Frieren.
Copy !req
252. Someday, I'd like to show them to you.
Copy !req
253. I see.
Copy !req
254. If we have the opportunity, perhaps.
Copy !req
255. I figured they'd be here,
but I wasn't expecting so many.
Copy !req
256. It took longer than I would've liked, Himmel.
Copy !req
257. I can't believe we really found them.
Copy !req
258. Now we can create a spell for blue moon weed.
Copy !req
259. Why are you so passionate about magic?
Copy !req
260. I don't understand.
Copy !req
261. But you do.
Copy !req
262. You never gave up on becoming a mage.
Copy !req
263. That's different.
Copy !req
264. I would've been happy to learn any skill
that allowed me to support myself.
Copy !req
265. It didn't have to be magic...
Copy !req
266. But you chose magic.
Copy !req
267. You're right.
Copy !req
268. I never thought I'd see blue moon weed again.
Copy !req
269. They're beautiful.
Copy !req
270. Thank you, Ms. Frieren.
Copy !req
271. Now this statue will never be forgotten.
Copy !req
272. Oh, I nearly forgot.
Copy !req
273. There.
Copy !req
274. How cute.
Copy !req
275. Shall we go?
Copy !req
276. And you alright
Copy !req
277. Can you hear me
Copy !req
278. Trailing along deserted train tracks
Copy !req
279. Crying excessively
Copy !req
280. Wanting you to smile
Copy !req
281. I hold on to memories I'd like to keep fresh
Copy !req
282. There's something I'd like to tell you
Copy !req
283. With words more precious than a goodbye
Copy !req
284. Unremarkable yet special
Copy !req
285. See, things that couldn't have been
Copy !req
286. Seen if it weren't for these eyes
Copy !req
287. Why? They begin to overflow
Copy !req
288. So, if I were to be born again
Copy !req
289. I would surely choose this place once more
Copy !req
290. So, if we were to meet again
Copy !req
291. I'd never let you go, I'd choose the present
Copy !req
292. Even if no promises were made
Copy !req
293. Even if I'm lost in days of loneliness
Copy !req
294. Those tears will be alright,
dawn will surely break
Copy !req
295. I'm whispering our lullaby
Copy !req
296. for you to come back home
Copy !req
297. That's too powerful.
Copy !req
298. The Elder Sage of Corruption, Qual.
Copy !req
299. He called you heartless for not checking on him.
Copy !req
300. Let's put that into practice.
Copy !req
301. How many years do you think
we've traveled together?
Copy !req
302. Does this journey have a purpose?
Classroom study is important, too.
Copy !req

Killing Magic
