1. Let's split up and replenish
our traveling supplies.
Copy !req
2. "Split up"? You've assigned me
most of the necessities.
Copy !req
3. Food, water, daily essentials.
Copy !req
4. What are you going to buy?
Copy !req
5. Herbs and stuff.
Copy !req
6. That's the face she makes when
she's hiding something from me.
Copy !req
7. I've known Ms. Frieren for a long time.
Copy !req
8. Nothing good ever happens
when she makes that face.
Copy !req
9. She's definitely going to buy
something we don't need.
Copy !req
10. I bought this.
Copy !req
11. What are you going to use that for?
Copy !req
12. This potion only dissolves clothing.
Copy !req
13. Go return it.
Copy !req
14. It's a book on magical history.
Classroom study is important, too.
Copy !req
15. Well, I wouldn't call that one unnecessary.
Copy !req
16. I'll meet you at the inn later.
Copy !req
17. We can't afford to waste
our traveling funds.
Copy !req
18. I'd better keep a close eye on her.
Copy !req
19. An accessory shop?
Copy !req
20. You went to sleep without
drying your hair again.
Copy !req
21. So she's interested in fashion after all.
Copy !req
22. She seems really conflicted.
Copy !req
23. What's with that face?
Copy !req
24. I've never seen Ms. Frieren
look so troubled before.
Copy !req
25. She spent a lot of time on that.
Copy !req
26. I suppose an accessory wouldn't hurt.
Copy !req
27. It's better than weird bones or medicines.
Copy !req
28. Maybe I'll resume my shopping soon.
Copy !req
29. Is there a shop around here
that sells good desserts?
Copy !req
30. Now that's not fair.
Copy !req
31. There's a tavern in the basement
of that building. Try asking there.
Copy !req
32. Thank you.
Copy !req
33. I haven't eaten anything sweet in months!
Copy !req
34. This must be it.
Copy !req
35. Is there a shop around here
that sells good desserts?
Copy !req
36. This clearly isn't the right
place to ask about desserts.
Copy !req
37. A dessert joint? Who do you
think you're talking to?
Copy !req
38. Gulp.
Copy !req
39. You better believe this city's got
mountains of delicious desserts.
Copy !req
40. We can recommend you places all over.
Copy !req
41. So they do know about desserts here.
Copy !req
42. For such rough-looking guys,
you know a lot about desserts.
Copy !req
43. A bit of sugar gives us the energy
we need to adventure.
Copy !req
44. Nothing beats rewarding yourself with
something sweet after a hard day's work.
Copy !req
45. So they're adventurers. Though I'd say
even "rough" is an understatement.
Copy !req
46. They're terrifying.
Copy !req
47. See ya.
Copy !req
48. Is she going to a dessert shop?
Copy !req
49. Huh? She's heading in
the direction of our inn.
Copy !req
50. Is she going back?
Copy !req
51. I'm not even close to finishing my shopping.
Copy !req
52. You're late.
Copy !req
53. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
54. Well, no matter. Put your things down.
Copy !req
55. Shall we go get something sweet to eat?
Copy !req
56. What a nice view. No wonder
they recommended this place.
Copy !req
57. Ms. Frieren, I'm sorry for doubting you.
Copy !req
58. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
59. Nothing.
Copy !req
60. Choose whatever you'd like.
Copy !req
61. Can we afford it?
Copy !req
62. I've been saving up secretly.
Copy !req
63. She's been keeping secret savings?
Copy !req
64. Ms. Frieren, what will you have?
Copy !req
65. Well, today I feel like...
Copy !req
66. Merkur pudding, right?
Copy !req
67. You feel like eating Merkur
pudding today, don't you?
Copy !req
68. How did you know?
Copy !req
69. How many years do you think
we've traveled together?
Copy !req
70. I can just tell.
Copy !req
71. I don't know anything about the rest of you.
Copy !req
72. Then maybe I'll try harder
to teach you about myself.
Copy !req
73. Incidentally, my favorite
food is Ruf-omelette.
Copy !req
74. Mine's grapes. The sourer, the better.
Copy !req
75. Mine is—
Copy !req
76. Alcohol, right?
Copy !req
77. I knew that already, you corrupt priest.
Copy !req
78. That's nothing to blush about.
Copy !req
79. It's not a good sign that the one thing
she remembers is your drinking.
Copy !req
80. Fern, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
81. Why are you apologizing?
Copy !req
82. I don't know anything about you,
Copy !req
83. so I don't know what you like.
Copy !req
84. Come to think of it, it's my birthday today.
Copy !req
85. What a beautiful hair ornament.
Copy !req
86. Thank you. I'm delighted.
Copy !req
87. Really?
Copy !req
88. You seem to be hopelessly dense,
so let me be clear.
Copy !req
89. I'm overjoyed that you
tried to get to know me.
Copy !req
90. Only because I tried?
Copy !req
91. You really don't understand
people's feelings, do you?
Copy !req
92. Shall we get going?
Copy !req
93. Sure.
Copy !req
94. By the way, Ms. Frieren,
does this journey have a purpose?
Copy !req
95. Not particularly. I'm satisfying
my desire to collect spells.
Copy !req
96. But whenever possible,
Copy !req
97. I'd like to retrace the adventures
I had with Himmel and the others
Copy !req
98. before all sign of them fades away.
Copy !req
99. That's something important to you, right?
Copy !req
100. I don't know, so I'm trying
to figure that out.
Copy !req
101. You've finally grown taller than me.
Copy !req
102. I'm sixteen now. I could be your older sister.
Copy !req
103. My older sister?
Copy !req
104. Our diets are mostly the same,
so it can't be that.
Copy !req
105. How strange.
Copy !req
106. You've grown quite accustomed
to casting defensive spells.
Copy !req
107. Let's put that into practice.
Copy !req
108. What?
Copy !req
109. I aimed for the gaps in your defenses.
Copy !req
110. If this had been a real battle, you'd be dead.
Copy !req
111. Now, then...
Copy !req
112. How will you handle this?
Copy !req
113. Like this.
Copy !req
114. I see.
Copy !req
115. Can you withstand this?
Copy !req
116. That's enough for today.
Copy !req
117. Defensive magic is powerful,
but it rapidly depletes your mana.
Copy !req
118. You'll exhaust your mana supply in seconds
if you try to maintain it over a large area.
Copy !req
119. So the best option is to cast it in select
locations at the moment of impact.
Copy !req
120. Exactly.
Copy !req
121. Hup.
Copy !req
122. We've been practicing nothing
but defensive magic.
Copy !req
123. It directly improves your chances of survival.
Copy !req
124. You're right.
Copy !req
125. A single defensive spell can defend
against most offensive spells.
Copy !req
126. It's strange how powerful they are.
Copy !req
127. Fern, you haven't read the book on
magical history I gave you, have you?
Copy !req
128. Magic is about theory as much as practice.
Copy !req
129. I suppose I'll have to read
it to you at bedtime.
Copy !req
130. I'll read it myself.
Copy !req
131. I'm not a child, after all.
Copy !req
132. This village is where you wanted to go, right?
Copy !req
133. Are you here to collect odd spells again?
Copy !req
134. No, not this time.
Copy !req
135. Now it's up to the weather.
Copy !req
136. Yeah.
Copy !req
137. I have a question.
Copy !req
138. It's an elf.
Copy !req
139. White hair...
Copy !req
140. Are you Ms. Frieren?
Copy !req
141. How did you know?
Copy !req
142. You're here to see the place where
Qual was sealed, aren't you?
Copy !req
143. I'll show you the way.
Copy !req
144. Qual?
Copy !req
145. The Elder Sage of Corruption, Qual.
Copy !req
146. He's a demon who committed terrible
atrocities in this region eighty years ago,
Copy !req
147. before being sealed away
by Himmel the Hero and his party.
Copy !req
148. That seal will break soon,
so I'm here to defeat him,
Copy !req
149. but how did you know?
Copy !req
150. I haven't told anyone about this.
Copy !req
151. Mr. Himmel visited this town every year
until about thirty years ago.
Copy !req
152. He was apparently checking
on the condition of the seal.
Copy !req
153. He always was a softie.
Copy !req
154. He used to talk about you.
Copy !req
155. He called you heartless
for not checking on him.
Copy !req
156. She's cold, isn't she?
Copy !req
157. Quite cold.
Copy !req
158. Sorry about that.
Copy !req
159. But she's not so heartless that
she'd leave the village to its fate.
Copy !req
160. She'll come when the seal is about to break.
Copy !req
161. That's what he said.
Copy !req
162. I see.
Copy !req
163. This is it?
Copy !req
164. It's become rather unstable.
Copy !req
165. I'll dispel the seal tomorrow
and take care of Qual.
Copy !req
166. You're the one who sealed Qual, aren't you?
Copy !req
167. Is there a reason you did that?
Copy !req
168. He was simply too strong.
Copy !req
169. I couldn't beat him.
Copy !req
170. Even among the Demon King's forces,
Qual was an exceptional mage.
Copy !req
171. He developed the first piercing spell
in history, which he called Zoltraak.
Copy !req
172. It pierced not only defensive spells but
the magic resistance of armor as well.
Copy !req
173. It directly targeted and destroyed the body.
Copy !req
174. It's said that in this region,
Copy !req
175. 40% of adventurers and 70% of mages
were killed by Zoltraak.
Copy !req
176. That's too powerful.
Copy !req
177. Yes, it was. Much too powerful.
Copy !req
178. And that's why it backfired on him.
Copy !req
179. What do you mean?
Copy !req
180. You really haven't read that
history tome, have you?
Copy !req
181. Are you sure I shouldn't read it to you?
Copy !req
182. I'll start reading it right now.
Copy !req
183. No, it's fine.
Copy !req
184. It's more important that
you get a good night's sleep.
Copy !req
185. You'll see tomorrow, anyway.
Copy !req
186. I'm dispelling the seal.
Copy !req
187. Don't let your guard down.
Copy !req
188. It's been a while, Frieren.
Copy !req
189. How many years has it been?
Copy !req
190. Eighty.
Copy !req
191. A mere eighty years, huh?
Copy !req
192. For us, anyway.
Copy !req
193. And the Demon King?
Copy !req
194. We killed him.
Copy !req
195. I see.
Copy !req
196. Then I shall avenge him.
Copy !req
197. Fern, cast a defensive spell in front of us.
Copy !req
198. Zoltraak!
Copy !req
199. I'm surprised.
Copy !req
200. You blocked Zoltraak.
Copy !req
201. That defensive spell of yours
must be powerful indeed.
Copy !req
202. Ms. Frieren, what's going on?
Copy !req
203. That was ordinary offensive magic.
Copy !req
204. That's Zoltraak.
Copy !req
205. The killing magic he developed.
Copy !req
206. Qual, your magic was simply too powerful.
Copy !req
207. After you were sealed away, mages across
the land studied and analyzed Zoltraak.
Copy !req
208. In just a few years, Zoltraak was
incorporated into humankind's magic system,
Copy !req
209. and powerful new defensive spells
were developed.
Copy !req
210. The magic resistance offered by equipment
has improved significantly as well,
Copy !req
211. making Zoltraak no longer killing magic.
Copy !req
212. Now it's just "ordinary offensive magic."
Copy !req
213. Eighty years is quite a long time for humans.
Copy !req
214. Qual, if you don't resist,
I'll make your death painless.
Copy !req
215. I see.
Copy !req
216. I see, I see.
Copy !req
217. It attunes itself to the offensive
magic and disperses its power.
Copy !req
218. A complex spell indeed.
Copy !req
219. It must consume a great deal of mana.
Copy !req
220. He figured out the weakness
of defensive magic.
Copy !req
221. Fern, you know what to do, right?
Copy !req
222. Yes. I saw it in our practices.
Copy !req
223. Then protect me as well.
Copy !req
224. So you can fly? Interesting.
Copy !req
225. Zoltraak.
Copy !req
226. Frieren... My spell...
Copy !req
227. Now we can live in peace.
Copy !req
228. That hat...
Copy !req
229. This thing?
Copy !req
230. Around here, the sun's rays are strong
even at this time of year,
Copy !req
231. so all farmers wear them.
Copy !req
232. I've seen this hat before.
Copy !req
233. You're the brat who flipped my skirt up.
Copy !req
234. Take that!
Copy !req
235. What do you think you're doing, brat?
Copy !req
236. I'll kill you! You saw what I've
been wanting to see all this time!
Copy !req
237. You'd better not kill him.
Copy !req
238. I'll show you mine.
Copy !req
239. Yikes.
Copy !req
240. You're still alive.
Copy !req
241. Thanks to you,
I'll be able to live even longer.
Copy !req
242. I'm glad I trusted Himmel's words and waited.
Copy !req
243. Ms. Frieren, they thanked you.
Copy !req
244. They didn't thank me.
Copy !req
245. The people of this village
believed in Himmel.
Copy !req
246. I don't understand, exactly,
but I think Mr. Himmel believed in you.
Copy !req
247. What is it?
Copy !req
248. Nothing.
Copy !req
249. Because I felt sorry for you.
Copy !req
250. Because it's more convenient that way.
Copy !req
251. She was an irresponsible person.
Copy !req
252. That's enough depressing talk.
Copy !req
253. Are you sure you haven't been
around since prehistoric times?
Copy !req
254. You're more conscientious than you look.
Copy !req
255. It was a long time ago.
Copy !req
256. Aureole, the land where souls rest.
Copy !req
