1. This area has always been
difficult to navigate,
Copy !req
2. so all kinds of things wash up here.
Copy !req
3. It used to be that the entire village
helped clean up the shore.
Copy !req
4. But now you don't have enough people,
so it lies neglected.
Copy !req
5. These waters used to be beautifully clear.
Copy !req
6. I know.
Copy !req
7. How about this as payment?
Copy !req
8. It's a book written by
Flamme the Legendary Mage.
Copy !req
9. Ms. Frieren.
Copy !req
10. Is this the only grimoire
you have in your village?
Copy !req
11. Yes.
Copy !req
12. Very well. We'll clean up the area for you.
Copy !req
13. That grimoire is a fake, isn't it?
Copy !req
14. I see you've been studying like
I told you to. Good girl, Fern.
Copy !req
15. Books attributed to Flamme are never real.
This is just another poor imitation.
Copy !req
16. Why did you accept the job?
Copy !req
17. To help someone in need.
Copy !req
18. I find that hard to believe.
Copy !req
19. You're right. I'm doing this for me.
Copy !req
20. Sounds like we've got another
long stay ahead of us.
Copy !req
21. Thanks for being such a
regular customer, Fern.
Copy !req
22. I threw in an extra one for you.
Copy !req
23. Thank you.
Copy !req
24. It's been three months already.
Copy !req
25. Have you gotten used to the village?
Copy !req
26. Yes.
Copy !req
27. The shore gets cold this
time of year. Be careful.
Copy !req
28. It's winter already.
Copy !req
29. She's still asleep.
Copy !req
30. This place is a mess.
Copy !req
31. I just tidied up yesterday, too.
Copy !req
32. Ms. Frieren, it's morning. Please wake up.
Copy !req
33. Let's go clean up the shore.
Copy !req
34. So cold...
Copy !req
35. I've been thinking.
Copy !req
36. About what?
Copy !req
37. Are you actually a very sloppy person?
Copy !req
38. Every morning I wake you up, feed you
breakfast, and help you get dressed.
Copy !req
39. I'm practically your mother.
Copy !req
40. I can do all that myself.
Copy !req
41. But then you'd sleep until noon.
Copy !req
42. Yeah.
Copy !req
43. Well, I've already given up hope, anyway.
Copy !req
44. Sorry.
Copy !req
45. How did you manage traveling
with the hero's party?
Copy !req
46. There wasn't anyone there
to look after you.
Copy !req
47. I overslept all the time.
Copy !req
48. And you never got in trouble for it?
Copy !req
49. I did, just once.
Copy !req
50. Just once? They must have been very tolerant.
Copy !req
51. They were a whole different breed.
Copy !req
52. Also, Heiter sometimes clicked his tongue.
Copy !req
53. Sorry.
Copy !req
54. Hey.
Copy !req
55. I understand how you feel, but...
Copy !req
56. Sounds like they were rather upset with you.
Copy !req
57. How is the cleanup coming along?
Copy !req
58. We have about a third of it left.
Copy !req
59. Do you think you'll be done in time
for the New Year's Festival?
Copy !req
60. Just barely.
Copy !req
61. In that case, I hope you'll be able to watch
the sunrise this time, Ms. Frieren.
Copy !req
62. Is the beach cleanup related to
the New Year's Festival somehow?
Copy !req
63. In this village, it's customary to watch the
sunrise on the day of the New Year's Festival.
Copy !req
64. They say it's beautiful how the light
reflects off the clear waters.
Copy !req
65. You haven't seen it?
Copy !req
66. Do you think I'd be able
to wake up that early?
Copy !req
67. I suppose not.
Copy !req
68. Let's hurry. We don't have much time.
Copy !req
69. No problems with the water quality.
Copy !req
70. We managed to finish by the day before.
Copy !req
71. It hardly looks like the same beach.
Copy !req
72. Thank you, Ms. Frieren.
Copy !req
73. You'll be joining us for the
New Year's Festival, won't you?
Copy !req
74. Yes.
Copy !req
75. We'd love to have you.
Copy !req
76. Have you lost your mind, Ms. Frieren?
Copy !req
77. You'll have to wake up before the sun rises.
Copy !req
78. That's impossible for you.
Copy !req
79. I'll be fine. I just need
to stay up all night.
Copy !req
80. You're that desperate to see the sunrise?
Copy !req
81. Honestly, I'm not interested,
which is why I want to see it for myself.
Copy !req
82. I don't understand.
Copy !req
83. No, I suppose you wouldn't.
Copy !req
84. Why didn't you come to the
New Year's Festival, Frieren?
Copy !req
85. The shock was so great,
it left Heiter bedridden. Poor guy.
Copy !req
86. He's just out of commission
because he drank too much.
Copy !req
87. What's the problem?
The rest of you got to go.
Copy !req
88. We wanted you to enjoy it, too.
Copy !req
89. It's just a sunrise.
I doubt I'd enjoy it much.
Copy !req
90. No, you would.
Copy !req
91. Why?
Copy !req
92. Because you're that kind of person.
Copy !req
93. She's asleep.
Copy !req
94. She's asleep!
Copy !req
95. Ms. Frieren, wake up.
You'll be late for the New Year's Festival.
Copy !req
96. Mother...
Copy !req
97. Who are you calling "Mother"?
Copy !req
98. Why am I doing this?
Copy !req
99. Thank you, Fern.
Copy !req
100. It's certainly pretty, but it wasn't
worth waking up early for.
Copy !req
101. Himmel didn't understand me after all.
Copy !req
102. Fern, I'm going home so I can go back to...
Copy !req
103. Ms. Frieren, it's beautiful.
Copy !req
104. Is it?
Copy !req
105. It's just a sunrise.
Copy !req
106. But you seem to be enjoying
yourself a little.
Copy !req
107. That's because you're smiling.
Copy !req
108. I wouldn't have been able to see
this sunrise if I'd been on my own.
Copy !req
109. Of course not. After all, you can't
get out of bed by yourself.
Copy !req
110. Are these for your family?
Copy !req
111. It was a long time ago.
Copy !req
112. My village was attacked by demons.
Copy !req
113. What are you doing?
Copy !req
114. Praying.
Copy !req
115. People return to nothingness when they die.
Copy !req
116. No, they go to Heaven.
Copy !req
117. Until several thousand years ago,
Copy !req
118. the commonly held belief
was that there was no afterlife.
Copy !req
119. Dwarves value tradition.
Copy !req
120. I'm skeptical about the idea
of a heaven myself,
Copy !req
121. but since current magics can't
observe the souls of the dead,
Copy !req
122. its existence can't be proven or disproven.
Copy !req
123. I don't think it matters either way.
Copy !req
124. You're right. I don't care
if it exists or not.
Copy !req
125. Should a man of the cloth be saying that,
you corrupt priest?
Copy !req
126. But even if it doesn't exist,
I believe it should.
Copy !req
127. Why?
Copy !req
128. Because it's more convenient that way.
Copy !req
129. All those people doing their best
to live deserve something better
Copy !req
130. than nothingness awaiting them.
Copy !req
131. I prefer to think they get to
live the good life in Heaven.
Copy !req
132. That certainly is more convenient.
Copy !req
133. Shall we pray?
Copy !req
134. Yeah.
Copy !req
135. Eisen, I'm here to hang out.
Copy !req
136. You act like it hasn't been thirty years.
Copy !req
137. What's a mere thirty years?
Copy !req
138. You're right.
Copy !req
139. I never thought you'd take on an apprentice.
Copy !req
140. Eisen, is there anything you need help with?
Copy !req
141. Frieren, I heard you asked
Heiter the same thing.
Copy !req
142. I'm not on my deathbed yet.
Copy !req
143. How do you know about that?
Copy !req
144. Because we wrote to each other.
Copy !req
145. You're more conscientious than you look.
Copy !req
146. You're just too indifferent.
Copy !req
147. So, do you need help with anything?
Copy !req
148. Voll Basin...
Copy !req
149. This place brings back memories.
Copy !req
150. You've been here before?
Copy !req
151. A long time ago.
Copy !req
152. "A long time," she said.
How long must that be?
Copy !req
153. Perhaps she came here in prehistoric times.
Copy !req
154. Not even I've lived that long.
Copy !req
155. So, what are we looking for?
Copy !req
156. The notes of Flamme the Legendary Mage.
Copy !req
157. Fine. You know most of Flamme's
supposed writings are fake, though?
Copy !req
158. I have a lead.
Copy !req
159. Heiter deduced the location from records
on Flamme left in the holy city.
Copy !req
160. Her genuine notes are located
somewhere in Voll Basin.
Copy !req
161. Frieren, you must know that.
Copy !req
162. That corrupt priest.
He'd gotten that far in his research?
Copy !req
163. Fine. We'll begin by searching
for a large tree.
Copy !req
164. A large tree?
Copy !req
165. That's ridiculous. There are tons of trees.
Copy !req
166. Well, I suppose you have
all the time in the world.
Copy !req
167. That's right.
Copy !req
168. But Fern wouldn't like that,
so I'll try to finish quickly.
Copy !req
169. Let's search as efficiently as possible.
Copy !req
170. You've changed.
Copy !req
171. You never cared about
other people's time before.
Copy !req
172. Fern is scary when she's mad.
Copy !req
173. I see. Then I should watch myself.
Copy !req
174. Ms. Frieren.
Copy !req
175. There's a large tree to the west
growing over some ruins.
Copy !req
176. This way.
Copy !req
177. Got it.
Copy !req
178. Hey. Why did you decide to
look for Flamme's notes?
Copy !req
179. Because I felt sorry for you.
Copy !req
180. What?
Copy !req
181. I felt sorry for you and Himmel.
Copy !req
182. On that day thirty years ago,
Copy !req
183. you said you wished you'd gotten
to know Himmel better.
Copy !req
184. You should tell Himmel himself that.
Copy !req
185. They say the notes of Flamme the Legendary
Mage describe her conversing with the dead.
Copy !req
186. That's just a fairy tale.
Besides, I don't want to see him now.
Copy !req
187. All magic started as fairy tales.
Copy !req
188. And don't you want to know more about Himmel?
Copy !req
189. That's why I talked it over with Heiter.
Copy !req
190. We were sure you had regrets,
so we wanted to help you.
Copy !req
191. Ms. Frieren, both the tree and ruins
are protected by a powerful barrier.
Copy !req
192. Even after a thousand years, I'm still
dancing in the palm of my master's hand.
Copy !req
193. How's that little sapling going to keep watch?
Copy !req
194. Don't sell it short.
Copy !req
195. Once it grows, it'll still be protecting
this place a thousand years from now.
Copy !req
196. You'll be dead by then.
Copy !req
197. But you won't be.
Copy !req
198. Someday, you'll make a terrible mistake
and wish you'd gotten to know people better.
Copy !req
199. Do you wish I knew you better?
Are you being needy?
Copy !req
200. Yeah, no.
Copy !req
201. When that happens, return to this place.
Copy !req
202. Then I, Flamme the Legendary Mage,
will help you.
Copy !req
203. Those are Flamme's notes?
Copy !req
204. Are they real?
Copy !req
205. They're real.
Copy !req
206. How do you know that?
Copy !req
207. Frieren was Flamme's best student.
Copy !req
208. Flamme the Legendary Mage is an ancient hero
who's written about in magical history.
Copy !req
209. Are you sure you haven't been
around since prehistoric times?
Copy !req
210. Does it say anything about
speaking to the dead?
Copy !req
211. It's already opened to that very page.
Copy !req
212. Did she know a thousand years ago
that I'd come here?
Copy !req
213. What an unpleasant woman.
Copy !req
214. "On the northernmost end of the continent..."
Copy !req
215. I arrived at the place the people
of this world call heaven:
Copy !req
216. Aureole, the land where souls rest.
Copy !req
217. Many souls gather there,
Copy !req
218. and I spoke with friends
who once fought alongside me.
Copy !req
219. This discovery of the century...
Copy !req
220. "... will propel research on souls forward."
Copy !req
221. Do you suppose it's true?
Copy !req
222. Who knows? She was an irresponsible person.
Copy !req
223. Heaven exists.
Copy !req
224. It's more convenient if it does.
Copy !req
225. You're right. Perhaps I should
believe in it for once.
Copy !req
226. Where exactly is this place?
Copy !req
227. Give me a moment.
Copy !req
228. The northern continent... Ende.
Copy !req
229. Ende?
Copy !req
230. Yes.
Copy !req
231. It's where the Demon King's
castle is located now.
Copy !req
232. But why there?
Copy !req
233. Frieren.
Copy !req
234. You must find Aureole and speak with Himmel.
Copy !req
235. You said you'd help me, didn't you?
Copy !req
236. You've learned some cunning tricks, Eisen.
Copy !req
237. Thanks to Heiter.
Copy !req
238. Fine. I didn't have a particular
destination anyway.
Copy !req
239. But it's so cold around
the Demon King's castle.
Copy !req
240. I don't want to go.
Copy !req
241. She's already feeling discouraged.
Copy !req
242. She fell asleep.
Copy !req
243. What a carefree girl.
Copy !req
244. It's cold. I don't want to go.
Copy !req
245. She's moaning in her sleep.
Copy !req
246. Is it really that cold around
the Demon King's castle?
Copy !req
247. Ende, where the castle is, is located at the
very northernmost end of the continent.
Copy !req
248. We went through a lot in that place.
Copy !req
249. A lot?
Copy !req
250. This is awkward.
Copy !req
251. Maybe I'll wake Ms. Frieren.
Copy !req
252. Ms. Frieren. Ms. Frieren.
Copy !req
253. She won't wake up.
Copy !req
254. Say, Fern. Is she a good master?
Copy !req
255. That's a good question.
Copy !req
256. I don't really know.
Copy !req
257. All she does is drag me around
while she searches for magic.
Copy !req
258. But she does seem interested in getting
to know Mr. Himmel and his companions.
Copy !req
259. Perhaps she's not very interested in me.
Copy !req
260. Ms. Frieren only took me on as an apprentice
Copy !req
261. because she promised Mr. Heiter she would.
Copy !req
262. I see.
Copy !req
263. But she's such a strange person.
Copy !req
264. After we began traveling together,
she started giving me birthday presents.
Copy !req
265. Normally she seems so disinterested in me.
Copy !req
266. I wonder what she's thinking.
She's so strange.
Copy !req
267. Frieren, you're not going
to stay in the royal capital?
Copy !req
268. I'm going to keep traveling.
Copy !req
269. Alone?
Copy !req
270. It'll be nice and easy.
Copy !req
271. You're not going to take on an apprentice?
Copy !req
272. Traveling is better when you
have someone to talk to.
Copy !req
273. It's a waste of time.
Copy !req
274. Even if I taught them, they'd die in no time.
Copy !req
275. Frieren, that's not how relationships work.
Copy !req
276. Yes, it is.
Copy !req
277. My adventure with you wasn't even
one one-hundredth of my life.
Copy !req
278. You must understand that, Eisen.
Copy !req
279. I...
Copy !req
280. Okay, okay. That's enough depressing talk.
Copy !req
281. Today is a day for celebrating. Let's drink.
Copy !req
282. You just want a reason to drink, don't you?
Copy !req
283. You saw right through me.
Copy !req
284. You're always drinking.
Copy !req
285. You corrupt priest.
Copy !req
286. Fern...
Copy !req
287. She's a good master.
Copy !req
288. You're right.
Copy !req
289. Eisen, you're really not coming with us?
Copy !req
290. That's right.
Copy !req
291. I told you before, I'd only get in your way.
Copy !req
292. I see.
Copy !req
293. You remember how to get to Ende, don't you?
Copy !req
294. Yes. First we travel through the Wille region,
Copy !req
295. and then we cross Riegel Canyon and pass
through the northern lands checkpoint.
Copy !req
296. Sorry to ask this of you.
Copy !req
297. It'll be a long journey.
Copy !req
298. It took us ten years.
Copy !req
299. I see.
Copy !req
300. We'll be following the same path Mr. Himmel's
party took to the Demon King's castle.
Copy !req
301. You're right.
Copy !req
302. It'll be a mere ten-year adventure.
Copy !req
303. Do you think I can become a powerful warrior?
Copy !req
304. They appear after death.
Copy !req
305. You really do only collect odd spells.
Copy !req
306. Travelers, may I have a moment of your time?
Copy !req
307. Why haven't you defeated the dragon?
Copy !req
308. You're searching for it, aren't you?
Copy !req
309. That's ridiculous.
Copy !req
310. This is a phantom of the dead.
Copy !req
