1. So this fissure was left by your training.
Copy !req
2. Like a fairy tale
Copy !req
3. It's a sign the story has reached its end
Copy !req
4. Like a single passage taken from
Copy !req
5. A journey that was too long
Copy !req
6. Of the evil that once cast a shadow
Copy !req
7. Across this land
Copy !req
8. And the memories of the short journey
Copy !req
9. With the hero who defeated it
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. You don't intend to fight
the dragon, do you?
Copy !req
32. So why do you continue training?
Copy !req
33. When I arrived here,
Copy !req
34. all the villagers wore grim expressions
and lived in fear of the dragon.
Copy !req
35. Now those same people are smiling happily.
Copy !req
36. They say this village is safe
because I'm around,
Copy !req
37. even though I haven't done anything.
Copy !req
38. The dragon simply hasn't attacked this
village because it doesn't feel like it.
Copy !req
39. If the dragon attacks the village,
will you fight it?
Copy !req
40. I don't want to die.
Copy !req
41. But to the people of this village,
I'm a hero.
Copy !req
42. I'm Stark, the hero of this village.
Copy !req
43. I have to defend it.
Copy !req
44. That said, maybe I'd actually run away.
Copy !req
45. I got this scar on my forehead during a
fight with my master, not against monsters.
Copy !req
46. That was the first time he ever hit me.
Copy !req
47. He must've been disappointed in me.
Copy !req
48. In the end, he never praised me. Not once.
Copy !req
49. What?
Copy !req
50. I don't think you'll run.
Copy !req
51. You think you know me?
Copy !req
52. I don't know the first thing about you, but
I recalled my own terrifying experience.
Copy !req
53. A terrifying experience?
Copy !req
54. My first battle against a monster.
Copy !req
55. I'd trained plenty until then.
Copy !req
56. But my fear made me weak in the knees,
Copy !req
57. and I ran.
Copy !req
58. The monster wouldn't stop chasing me.
Copy !req
59. For some reason, Ms. Frieren
wouldn't help me.
Copy !req
60. My master was like that, too.
Copy !req
61. When it finally cornered me
Copy !req
62. and I steeled my resolve,
Copy !req
63. my body moved.
Copy !req
64. All I needed was resolve.
Copy !req
65. All the training you've done
won't let you down.
Copy !req
66. Though you're a hopeless coward, I believe
your resolve to protect the village is real.
Copy !req
67. Resolve, huh?
Copy !req
68. How did it go?
Copy !req
69. I don't know.
Copy !req
70. I don't know,
Copy !req
71. but I think it'll be all right.
Copy !req
72. He's not here.
Copy !req
73. I guess he ran.
Copy !req
74. It's a shame. I had high hopes for him.
Copy !req
75. We have no choice.
Copy !req
76. Fern, we're going to play tag
with the dragon.
Copy !req
77. What?
Copy !req
78. Frieren.
Copy !req
79. You need me to keep it busy
for thirty seconds, right?
Copy !req
80. You're late.
Copy !req
81. Will you promise me one thing?
Copy !req
82. If I die during the battle,
I want you to finish off the dragon.
Copy !req
83. Very well. I promise.
Copy !req
84. But why are you willing to go
that far for the villagers?
Copy !req
85. What?
Copy !req
86. I just thought it was a strange question.
Copy !req
87. I've lived in this village for three years.
Copy !req
88. That's not very long.
Copy !req
89. Like heck it isn't.
Copy !req
90. Okay. Let's do this.
Copy !req
91. Your hands are trembling.
Copy !req
92. I'm afraid, after all.
Copy !req
93. You don't have to laugh.
Copy !req
94. You're just like Eisen.
Copy !req
95. My master?
Copy !req
96. Now this is a powerful foe.
Copy !req
97. Eisen, your hands are shaking.
Are you scared?
Copy !req
98. Yeah.
Copy !req
99. You'd admit it, just like that?
Copy !req
100. Being afraid isn't a bad thing.
Copy !req
101. It's my fear that brought me this far.
Copy !req
102. You even tremble the same way.
Copy !req
103. I see.
Copy !req
104. My master was afraid, too.
Copy !req
105. All I need is resolve.
Copy !req
106. He's entered the dragon's range.
Copy !req
107. It's not attacking.
Copy !req
108. It's being cautious.
Copy !req
109. I thought so.
Copy !req
110. No wonder it stopped attacking the village.
Copy !req
111. The dragon is a smart creature.
Copy !req
112. It's not stupid enough to pick a fight
against a powerful opponent.
Copy !req
113. Eisen didn't hit Stark for being weak,
Copy !req
114. or because he was disappointed in him.
Copy !req
115. We parted in anger.
Copy !req
116. You hit him?
Copy !req
117. My body moved on reflex.
Copy !req
118. I'm sorry for what I did to him.
Copy !req
119. I was afraid.
Copy !req
120. I was afraid of him, Frieren.
Copy !req
121. I couldn't believe it.
Copy !req
122. My student will become
an incredible warrior.
Copy !req
123. Now! Fire!
Copy !req
124. Hey, why aren't you shooting at it?
Copy !req
125. I did exactly what you told me to do!
Copy !req
126. You expect me to fight it myself?
Copy !req
127. You can't be serious, you old hag!
Copy !req
128. You're just like my master after all!
Copy !req
129. It's already dead.
Copy !req
130. What?
Copy !req
131. An old hag, huh?
Copy !req
132. I'm scared of what she'll do later.
Copy !req
133. I... killed it?
Copy !req
134. I defeated the dragon by myself?
Copy !req
135. Stark.
Copy !req
136. You did well.
Copy !req
137. You exceeded my expectations. Well done.
Copy !req
138. Look at this mountain of treasure. Yippee!
Copy !req
139. We can't take it all with us.
Copy !req
140. No more than three items.
Copy !req
141. This is ridiculous.
Copy !req
142. You're interested in this stuff?
Copy !req
143. This stuff is a mountain of treasure.
Copy !req
144. My master said that you made the
heroes' adventure ridiculous.
Copy !req
145. Oh?
Copy !req
146. He said it was a ridiculous and fun journey.
Copy !req
147. Wow, you actually made shaved ice!
Copy !req
148. I told you it was worth searching for.
Copy !req
149. Not only that, but it's
fluffy instead of icy!
Copy !req
150. You're right.
Copy !req
151. This is ridiculous. Should we
be wasting time on this?
Copy !req
152. Why not? Our journey's only just begun.
Copy !req
153. The Hero of the South, said to be
humanity's strongest fighter,
Copy !req
154. was defeated by the Demon King's
Seven Sages of Destruction.
Copy !req
155. We don't know if we'll make it back alive.
Copy !req
156. Eisen, would you prefer a
difficult and painful journey?
Copy !req
157. I'd rather enjoy a ridiculous and fun
journey I can laugh about when it's over.
Copy !req
158. Look! It melts as soon as you touch it!
Copy !req
159. Don't touch it. We're going to eat that.
Copy !req
160. Ridiculous.
Copy !req
161. By the way, Frieren, what about syrup?
Copy !req
162. I don't have a spell to produce syrup.
Copy !req
163. You don't?
Copy !req
164. Truly ridiculous.
Copy !req
165. Well? Can you see through them?
Copy !req
166. Yes, but it's not a very interesting spell.
Copy !req
167. Sorry my body's not more interesting.
Copy !req
168. What?
Copy !req
169. So small.
Copy !req
170. I'm not small!
Copy !req
171. So, Stark, what will you do now?
Copy !req
172. You can go back to Eisen, you know.
Copy !req
173. My master told you to take me
with you, didn't he?
Copy !req
174. Besides...
Copy !req
175. I feel like going on a
ridiculous journey, too.
Copy !req
176. Monsters are active in the northern lands.
Copy !req
177. No one's allowed to pass through
the checkpoint currently.
Copy !req
178. When will the checkpoint open again?
Copy !req
179. Dunno.
Copy !req
180. At the very least, we've let none
through since I was posted here,
Copy !req
181. monsters and people alike.
Copy !req
182. Excuse me.
Copy !req
183. Sir, the castellan would like to see you.
Copy !req
184. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
185. Listen here, adventurers.
Copy !req
186. Don't cause any trouble in this town.
Copy !req
187. That wasn't a very warm welcome.
Copy !req
188. You're right. He's a good guard.
Copy !req
189. Harsh on outsiders,
Copy !req
190. as town guards should be.
Copy !req
191. Anyway, this city seems safe.
Copy !req
192. We'll wait here for a while.
Copy !req
193. It'll be a good opportunity
to take our time studying magic.
Copy !req
194. Once we drop our things off at the inn,
I'm going to the magic shops.
Copy !req
195. What? The checkpoint's closed.
It's not like we have a choice.
Copy !req
196. Go on. You're free to go.
Copy !req
197. I'm going to get us a room at the inn.
Copy !req
198. Wanna get something to eat?
Copy !req
199. Right. I'll go by myself.
Copy !req
200. Scary...
Copy !req
201. I heard the sea routes have
been shut down recently, too.
Copy !req
202. The northern lands' army
plans to defeat them,
Copy !req
203. but it'll be at least two years
until the checkpoint opens.
Copy !req
204. Business is at a standstill.
Copy !req
205. I haven't had this in forever.
Copy !req
206. The jumbo-berry special.
Copy !req
207. I was just a kid when I came here before,
so I could hardly finish it.
Copy !req
208. I had to split it with my master.
Copy !req
209. I don't remember it being
this small, though.
Copy !req
210. It seems that way because
you're all grown up now.
Copy !req
211. I see. I've gotten bigger, huh?
Copy !req
212. Everything seemed so big when I was a kid.
Copy !req
213. Even my master's back that
once looked so broad
Copy !req
214. started looking small at some point.
Copy !req
215. Eisen's getting up there in age.
Copy !req
216. I hope you're being a dutiful student.
Copy !req
217. That's what I'm doing right now.
Copy !req
218. Really, though, was it always this small?
Copy !req
219. The passage of time is cruel.
Copy !req
220. What? Got a problem?
Copy !req
221. I bought it with my own money.
Copy !req
222. Excuse me. Could I get a glass of milk?
Copy !req
223. Sure thing.
Copy !req
224. What? Why are you mad?
Copy !req
225. Mr. Stark.
Copy !req
226. Fine. You can have half.
Copy !req
227. That's not what I was going to say.
Copy !req
228. What if I told you we might have to
wait more than two years in this city?
Copy !req
229. What? No, thanks.
Copy !req
230. Right? I don't want to, either.
Copy !req
231. Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
232. What's her deal?
Copy !req
233. I'm relieved. You're normal.
Copy !req
234. Hey, did I do something to offend you?
Copy !req
235. A way through the checkpoint?
Copy !req
236. Sure, I'll help you look for one.
Copy !req
237. Thank you.
Copy !req
238. Would it be possible to fly over it?
Copy !req
239. The border with the northern lands
Copy !req
240. is protected by a powerful barrier that
extends to maximum flying altitude.
Copy !req
241. It can't be crossed.
Copy !req
242. That makes sense. Otherwise flying
monsters would get right through.
Copy !req
243. Then we have no choice.
We'll hit up the merchants' guild.
Copy !req
244. They might at least be trading.
Copy !req
245. Trade has been shut down completely.
Copy !req
246. If guarded caravans aren't allowed through,
Copy !req
247. then the northern lands
must be quite dangerous.
Copy !req
248. We'll have to wait until
the situation settles down.
Copy !req
249. No, let's hit up the black market
and thieves' guild first.
Copy !req
250. Isn't that a bit dangerous?
Copy !req
251. We'll be fine. People think I look pretty
strong, and I'm a decent bluffer.
Copy !req
252. And you've got the face of a scoundrel.
Copy !req
253. Shut up.
Copy !req
254. Well, that didn't work.
Copy !req
255. I shouldn't be surprised. They're
basically fighting a defensive battle.
Copy !req
256. There's nothing we can do
if the gates won't open.
Copy !req
257. Well, we've got nothing to lose.
Let's visit the guard station next.
Copy !req
258. What?
Copy !req
259. I was just thinking you're being
especially cooperative.
Copy !req
260. This was your idea.
Copy !req
261. I thought you didn't want to wait.
Copy !req
262. You seem more desperate than me.
Copy !req
263. Well, I don't have a lot of time.
Copy !req
264. What do you mean?
Copy !req
265. The view from here is nice, isn't it?
Copy !req
266. You can see the north side clearly.
Copy !req
267. When I was little,
my master brought me here.
Copy !req
268. We departed for the
northern lands from this city.
Copy !req
269. What was your journey like, Master?
Copy !req
270. You wanna know? Back then, we...
Copy !req
271. Normally he hardly spoke about himself,
Copy !req
272. but he happily told me about
the heroes' adventure.
Copy !req
273. Across his long life,
Copy !req
274. nothing was more important to him
than that ten-year adventure.
Copy !req
275. I'm sure the same is true for Frieren.
Copy !req
276. I wonder.
Copy !req
277. But he's too old to travel now.
Copy !req
278. And he told you to take me with you.
Copy !req
279. So I need to experience lots of
ridiculous and fun adventures in his place
Copy !req
280. and bring back stories to tell him.
Copy !req
281. It's all I can do to repay my debt to him.
Copy !req
282. If I take too long, my master will die.
Copy !req
283. Then we can't allow ourselves
to be stopped here.
Copy !req
284. I bet he's still got plenty
of years left, though.
Copy !req
285. Ms. Frieren, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
286. Quiet.
Copy !req
287. I'm being pursued.
Copy !req
288. Wh-What did you even do?
Copy !req
289. I don't know.
Copy !req
290. I was just visiting various
magic shops, and then...
Copy !req
291. I'm sorry, Ms. Frieren!
Copy !req
292. Please forgive me!
Copy !req
293. Wait. I don't like where this is going.
Copy !req
294. It seems the guard captain was rude to you.
Copy !req
295. As the castellan of this city,
I offer my apologies.
Copy !req
296. It doesn't bother me. He was
just doing his job as a guard.
Copy !req
297. I'm actually not in any kind of hurry.
I'm taking my time—
Copy !req
298. You plan to travel north again, don't you?
Copy !req
299. I hear the northern lands are currently
engaged in an endless conflict
Copy !req
300. with the remnants of the Demon King's forces.
Copy !req
301. You must be concerned about
the present situation.
Copy !req
302. Truly, you have the kindness of a hero.
Copy !req
303. The people of the northern lands
will be delighted as well.
Copy !req
304. Please feel free to pass
through the checkpoint.
Copy !req
305. I can't believe we're getting
through this easily.
Copy !req
306. Shouldn't we have told them
who you were from the start?
Copy !req
307. I didn't think there was any point.
Copy !req
308. I wanted to take my time, anyway.
Copy !req
309. And I don't really like this kind of thing.
Copy !req
310. It's an unsettling sight.
Copy !req
311. I'm glad I got to see it, though.
Copy !req
312. This must be how my master
departed for the north, too.
Copy !req
313. You're right.
Copy !req
314. Aw, darn. I wanted to do
more magical research.
Copy !req
315. You're still saying that?
Copy !req
316. We went through a lot of trouble
after that, you know. Right?
Copy !req
317. Yes.
Copy !req
318. And you alright
Copy !req
319. Can you hear me
Copy !req
320. Trailing along deserted train tracks
Copy !req
321. Crying excessively
Copy !req
322. Wanting you to smile
Copy !req
323. I hold on to memories I'd like to keep fresh
Copy !req
324. There's something I'd like to tell you
Copy !req
325. With words more precious than a goodbye
Copy !req
326. Unremarkable yet special
Copy !req
327. See, things that couldn't have been
Copy !req
328. Seen if it weren't for these eyes
Copy !req
329. Why? They begin to overflow
Copy !req
330. So, if I were to be born again
Copy !req
331. I would surely choose this place once more
Copy !req
332. So, if we were to meet again
Copy !req
333. I'd never let you go, I'd choose the present
Copy !req
334. Even if no promises were made
Copy !req
335. Even if I'm lost in days of loneliness
Copy !req
336. Those tears will be alright,
dawn will surely break
Copy !req
337. I'm whispering our lullaby
Copy !req
338. for you to come back home
Copy !req
339. It hurts...
Copy !req
340. Humans love to make a fuss.
Copy !req
341. He died in battle against
Aura ten years ago.
Copy !req
342. Mom...
Copy !req
343. The Liberation Festival is tonight.
Copy !req
344. Then we'd be no different from the demons.
Copy !req
345. They're capable of speech.
Copy !req
346. I'm curious about that mage.
Copy !req
347. What a pain in the rear...
Copy !req
348. It's like a fairy tale.
Copy !req
