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. Beyond Journey's End
Copy !req
11. The story ends
Copy !req
12. And the hero goes to sleep
Copy !req
13. Leaving this land with
Copy !req
14. Days of peace and quiet
Copy !req
15. The passage of time heartlessly
Copy !req
16. Makes people forget
Copy !req
17. Even the tracks left behind by his life
Copy !req
18. Begin to rust
Copy !req
19. Just the same
Copy !req
20. Your words and wishes and courage
Copy !req
21. Are still inside of me
Copy !req
22. And they live on
Copy !req
23. We chose the same path
Copy !req
24. That's all it was supposed to be
Copy !req
25. Why is it that at some point
Copy !req
26. I wanted to understand the reason for
Copy !req
27. The tears that fall down my cheeks
Copy !req
28. Even now
Copy !req
29. If I retrace the journey we walked together
Copy !req
30. Even though you're not there
Copy !req
31. I know I'll be able to find it
Copy !req
32. Episode 6: The Hero of the Village
Copy !req
33. You don't intend to fight
the dragon, do you?
Copy !req
34. So why do you continue training?
Copy !req
35. When I arrived here,
Copy !req
36. all the villagers wore grim expressions
and lived in fear of the dragon.
Copy !req
37. Now those same people are smiling happily.
Copy !req
38. They say this village is safe
because I'm around,
Copy !req
39. even though I haven't done anything.
Copy !req
40. The dragon simply hasn't attacked this
village because it doesn't feel like it.
Copy !req
41. If the dragon attacks the village,
will you fight it?
Copy !req
42. I don't want to die.
Copy !req
43. But to the people of this village,
I'm a hero.
Copy !req
44. I'm Stark, the hero of this village.
Copy !req
45. I have to defend it.
Copy !req
46. That said, maybe I'd actually run away.
Copy !req
47. I got this scar on my forehead during a
fight with my master, not against monsters.
Copy !req
48. That was the first time he ever hit me.
Copy !req
49. He must've been disappointed in me.
Copy !req
50. In the end, he never praised me. Not once.
Copy !req
51. What?
Copy !req
52. I don't think you'll run.
Copy !req
53. You think you know me?
Copy !req
54. I don't know the first thing about you, but
I recalled my own terrifying experience.
Copy !req
55. A terrifying experience?
Copy !req
56. My first battle against a monster.
Copy !req
57. I'd trained plenty until then.
Copy !req
58. But my fear made me weak in the knees,
Copy !req
59. and I ran.
Copy !req
60. The monster wouldn't stop chasing me.
Copy !req
61. For some reason, Ms. Frieren
wouldn't help me.
Copy !req
62. My master was like that, too.
Copy !req
63. When it finally cornered me
Copy !req
64. and I steeled my resolve,
Copy !req
65. my body moved.
Copy !req
66. All I needed was resolve.
Copy !req
67. All the training you've done
won't let you down.
Copy !req
68. Though you're a hopeless coward, I believe
your resolve to protect the village is real.
Copy !req
69. Resolve, huh?
Copy !req
70. How did it go?
Copy !req
71. I don't know.
Copy !req
72. I don't know,
Copy !req
73. but I think it'll be all right.
Copy !req
74. He's not here.
Copy !req
75. I guess he ran.
Copy !req
76. It's a shame. I had high hopes for him.
Copy !req
77. We have no choice.
Copy !req
78. Fern, we're going to play tag
with the dragon.
Copy !req
79. What?
Copy !req
80. Frieren.
Copy !req
81. You need me to keep it busy
for thirty seconds, right?
Copy !req
82. You're late.
Copy !req
83. Will you promise me one thing?
Copy !req
84. If I die during the battle,
I want you to finish off the dragon.
Copy !req
85. Very well. I promise.
Copy !req
86. But why are you willing to go
that far for the villagers?
Copy !req
87. What?
Copy !req
88. I just thought it was a strange question.
Copy !req
89. I've lived in this village for three years.
Copy !req
90. That's not very long.
Copy !req
91. Like heck it isn't.
Copy !req
92. Okay. Let's do this.
Copy !req
93. Your hands are trembling.
Copy !req
94. I'm afraid, after all.
Copy !req
95. You don't have to laugh.
Copy !req
96. You're just like Eisen.
Copy !req
97. My master?
Copy !req
98. Now this is a powerful foe.
Copy !req
99. Eisen, your hands are shaking.
Are you scared?
Copy !req
100. Yeah.
Copy !req
101. You'd admit it, just like that?
Copy !req
102. Being afraid isn't a bad thing.
Copy !req
103. It's my fear that brought me this far.
Copy !req
104. You even tremble the same way.
Copy !req
105. I see.
Copy !req
106. My master was afraid, too.
Copy !req
107. All I need is resolve.
Copy !req
108. He's entered the dragon's range.
Copy !req
109. It's not attacking.
Copy !req
110. It's being cautious.
Copy !req
111. I thought so.
Copy !req
112. No wonder it stopped attacking the village.
Copy !req
113. The dragon is a smart creature.
Copy !req
114. It's not stupid enough to pick a fight
against a powerful opponent.
Copy !req
115. Eisen didn't hit Stark for being weak,
Copy !req
116. or because he was disappointed in him.
Copy !req
117. We parted in anger.
Copy !req
118. You hit him?
Copy !req
119. My body moved on reflex.
Copy !req
120. I'm sorry for what I did to him.
Copy !req
121. I was afraid.
Copy !req
122. I was afraid of him, Frieren.
Copy !req
123. I couldn't believe it.
Copy !req
124. My student will become
an incredible warrior.
Copy !req
125. Now! Fire!
Copy !req
126. Hey, why aren't you shooting at it?
Copy !req
127. I did exactly what you told me to do!
Copy !req
128. You expect me to fight it myself?
Copy !req
129. You can't be serious, you old hag!
Copy !req
130. You're just like my master after all!
Copy !req
131. It's already dead.
Copy !req
132. What?
Copy !req
133. An old hag, huh?
Copy !req
134. I'm scared of what she'll do later.
Copy !req
135. I... killed it?
Copy !req
136. I defeated the dragon by myself?
Copy !req
137. Stark.
Copy !req
138. You did well.
Copy !req
139. You exceeded my expectations. Well done.
Copy !req
140. Look at this mountain of treasure. Yippee!
Copy !req
141. We can't take it all with us.
Copy !req
142. No more than three items.
Copy !req
143. This is ridiculous.
Copy !req
144. You're interested in this stuff?
Copy !req
145. This stuff is a mountain of treasure.
Copy !req
146. My master said that you made the
heroes' adventure ridiculous.
Copy !req
147. Oh?
Copy !req
148. He said it was a ridiculous and fun journey.
Copy !req
149. Wow, you actually made shaved ice!
Copy !req
150. I told you it was worth searching for.
Copy !req
151. Not only that, but it's
fluffy instead of icy!
Copy !req
152. You're right.
Copy !req
153. This is ridiculous. Should we
be wasting time on this?
Copy !req
154. Why not? Our journey's only just begun.
Copy !req
155. The Hero of the South, said to be
humanity's strongest fighter,
Copy !req
156. was defeated by the Demon King's
Seven Sages of Destruction.
Copy !req
157. We don't know if we'll make it back alive.
Copy !req
158. Eisen, would you prefer a
difficult and painful journey?
Copy !req
159. I'd rather enjoy a ridiculous and fun
journey I can laugh about when it's over.
Copy !req
160. Look! It melts as soon as you touch it!
Copy !req
161. Don't touch it. We're going to eat that.
Copy !req
162. Ridiculous.
Copy !req
163. By the way, Frieren, what about syrup?
Copy !req
164. I don't have a spell to produce syrup.
Copy !req
165. You don't?
Copy !req
166. Truly ridiculous.
Copy !req
167. Well? Can you see through them?
Copy !req
168. Yes, but it's not a very interesting spell.
Copy !req
169. Sorry my body's not more interesting.
Copy !req
170. What?
Copy !req
171. So small.
Copy !req
172. I'm not small!
Copy !req
173. So, Stark, what will you do now?
Copy !req
174. You can go back to Eisen, you know.
Copy !req
175. My master told you to take me
with you, didn't he?
Copy !req
176. Besides...
Copy !req
177. I feel like going on a
ridiculous journey, too.
Copy !req
178. 28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero, in the fortress city of Waal,
located in Riegel Canyon in the central lands
Copy !req
179. Monsters are active in the northern lands.
Copy !req
180. No one's allowed to pass through
the checkpoint currently.
Copy !req
181. When will the checkpoint open again?
Copy !req
182. Dunno.
Copy !req
183. At the very least, we've let none
through since I was posted here,
Copy !req
184. monsters and people alike.
Copy !req
185. Excuse me.
Copy !req
186. Sir, the castellan would like to see you.
Copy !req
187. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
188. Listen here, adventurers.
Copy !req
189. Don't cause any trouble in this town.
Copy !req
190. That wasn't a very warm welcome.
Copy !req
191. You're right. He's a good guard.
Copy !req
192. Harsh on outsiders,
Copy !req
193. as town guards should be.
Copy !req
194. Anyway, this city seems safe.
Copy !req
195. We'll wait here for a while.
Copy !req
196. It'll be a good opportunity
to take our time studying magic.
Copy !req
197. Once we drop our things off at the inn,
I'm going to the magic shops.
Copy !req
198. What? The checkpoint's closed.
It's not like we have a choice.
Copy !req
199. Go on. You're free to go.
Copy !req
200. I'm going to get us a room at the inn.
Copy !req
201. Wanna get something to eat?
Copy !req
202. Right. I'll go by myself.
Copy !req
203. Scary...
Copy !req
204. I heard the sea routes have
been shut down recently, too.
Copy !req
205. The northern lands' army
plans to defeat them,
Copy !req
206. but it'll be at least two years
until the checkpoint opens.
Copy !req
207. Business is at a standstill.
Copy !req
208. I haven't had this in forever.
Copy !req
209. The jumbo-berry special.
Copy !req
210. I was just a kid when I came here before,
so I could hardly finish it.
Copy !req
211. I had to split it with my master.
Copy !req
212. I don't remember it being
this small, though.
Copy !req
213. It seems that way because
you're all grown up now.
Copy !req
214. I see. I've gotten bigger, huh?
Copy !req
215. Everything seemed so big when I was a kid.
Copy !req
216. Even my master's back that
once looked so broad
Copy !req
217. started looking small at some point.
Copy !req
218. Eisen's getting up there in age.
Copy !req
219. I hope you're being a dutiful student.
Copy !req
220. That's what I'm doing right now.
Copy !req
221. Really, though, was it always small?
Copy !req
222. The passage of time is cruel.
Copy !req
223. What? Got a problem?
Copy !req
224. I bought it with my own money.
Copy !req
225. Excuse me. Could I get a glass of milk?
Copy !req
226. Sure thing.
Copy !req
227. What? Why are you mad?
Copy !req
228. Mr. Stark.
Copy !req
229. Fine. You can have half.
Copy !req
230. That's not what I was going to say.
Copy !req
231. What if I told you we might have to
wait more than two years in this city?
Copy !req
232. What? No, thanks.
Copy !req
233. Right? I don't want to, either.
Copy !req
234. Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
235. What's her deal?
Copy !req
236. I'm relieved. You're normal.
Copy !req
237. Hey, did I do something to offend you?
Copy !req
238. A way through the checkpoint?
Copy !req
239. Sure, I'll help you look for one.
Copy !req
240. Thank you.
Copy !req
241. Would it be possible to fly over it?
Copy !req
242. The border with the northern lands
Copy !req
243. is protected by a powerful barrier that
extends to maximum flying altitude.
Copy !req
244. It can't be crossed.
Copy !req
245. That makes sense. Otherwise flying
monsters would get right through.
Copy !req
246. Then we have no choice.
We'll hit up the merchants' guild.
Copy !req
247. They might at least be trading.
Copy !req
248. Trade has been shut down completely.
Copy !req
249. If guarded caravans aren't allowed through,
Copy !req
250. then the northern lands
must be quite dangerous.
Copy !req
251. We'll have to wait until
the situation settles down.
Copy !req
252. No, let's hit up the black market
and thieves' guild first.
Copy !req
253. Isn't that a bit dangerous?
Copy !req
254. We'll be fine. People think I look pretty
strong, and I'm a decent bluffer.
Copy !req
255. And you've got the face of a scoundrel.
Copy !req
256. Shut up.
Copy !req
257. Well, that didn't work.
Copy !req
258. I shouldn't be surprised. They're
basically fighting a defensive battle.
Copy !req
259. There's nothing we can do
if the gates won't open.
Copy !req
260. Well, we've got nothing to lose.
Let's visit the guard station next.
Copy !req
261. What?
Copy !req
262. I was just thinking you're being
especially cooperative.
Copy !req
263. This was your idea.
Copy !req
264. I thought you didn't want to wait.
Copy !req
265. You seem more desperate than me.
Copy !req
266. Well, I don't have a lot of time.
Copy !req
267. What do you mean?
Copy !req
268. The view from here is nice, isn't it?
Copy !req
269. You can see the north side clearly.
Copy !req
270. When I was little,
my master brought me here.
Copy !req
271. We departed for the
northern lands from this city.
Copy !req
272. What was your journey like, Master?
Copy !req
273. You wanna know? Back then, we...
Copy !req
274. Normally he hardly spoke about himself,
Copy !req
275. but he happily told me about
the heroes' adventure.
Copy !req
276. Across his long life,
Copy !req
277. nothing was more important to him
than that ten-year adventure.
Copy !req
278. I'm sure the same is true for Frieren.
Copy !req
279. I wonder.
Copy !req
280. But he's too old to travel now.
Copy !req
281. And he told you to take me with you.
Copy !req
282. So I need to experience lots of
ridiculous and fun adventures in his place
Copy !req
283. and bring back stories to tell him.
Copy !req
284. It's all I can do to repay my debt to him.
Copy !req
285. If I take too long, my master will die.
Copy !req
286. Then we can't allow ourselves
to be stopped here.
Copy !req
287. I bet he's still got plenty
of years left, though.
Copy !req
288. Ms. Frieren, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
289. Quiet.
Copy !req
290. I'm being pursued.
Copy !req
291. Wh-What did you even do?
Copy !req
292. I don't know.
Copy !req
293. I was just visiting various
magic shops, and then...
Copy !req
294. I'm sorry, Ms. Frieren!
Copy !req
295. Please forgive me!
Copy !req
296. Wait. I don't like where this is going.
Copy !req
297. It seems the guard captain was rude to you.
Copy !req
298. As the castellan of this city,
I offer my apologies.
Copy !req
299. It doesn't bother me. He was
just doing his job as a guard.
Copy !req
300. I'm actually not in any kind of hurry.
I'm taking my time—
Copy !req
301. You plan to travel north again, don't you?
Copy !req
302. I hear the northern lands are currently
engaged in an endless conflict
Copy !req
303. with the remnants of the Demon King's forces.
Copy !req
304. You must be concerned about
the present situation.
Copy !req
305. Truly, you have the kindness of a hero.
Copy !req
306. The people of the northern lands
will be delighted as well.
Copy !req
307. Please feel free to pass
through the checkpoint.
Copy !req
308. I can't believe we're getting
through this easily.
Copy !req
309. Shouldn't we have told them
who you were from the start?
Copy !req
310. I didn't think there was any point.
Copy !req
311. I wanted to take my time, anyway.
Copy !req
312. And I don't really like this kind of thing.
Copy !req
313. It's an unsettling sight.
Copy !req
314. I'm glad I got to see it, though.
Copy !req
315. This must be how my master
departed for the north, too.
Copy !req
316. You're right.
Copy !req
317. Aw, darn. I wanted to do
more magical research.
Copy !req
318. You're still saying that?
Copy !req
319. We went through a lot of trouble
after that, you know. Right?
Copy !req
320. Yes.
Copy !req
321. And you alright
Copy !req
322. Can you hear me
Copy !req
323. Trailing along deserted train tracks
Copy !req
324. Crying excessively
Copy !req
325. Wanting you to smile
Copy !req
326. I hold on to memories I'd like to keep fresh
Copy !req
327. There's something I'd like to tell you
Copy !req
328. With words more precious than a goodbye
Copy !req
329. Unremarkable yet special
Copy !req
330. See, things that couldn't have been
Copy !req
331. Seen if it weren't for these eyes
Copy !req
332. Why? They begin to overflow
Copy !req
333. So, if I were to be born again
Copy !req
334. I would surely choose this place once more
Copy !req
335. So, if we were to meet again
Copy !req
336. I'd never let you go, I'd choose the present
Copy !req
337. Even if no promises were made
Copy !req
338. Even if I'm lost in days of loneliness
Copy !req
339. Those tears will be alright,
dawn will surely break
Copy !req
340. I'm whispering our lullaby
Copy !req
341. for you to come back home
Copy !req
342. It hurts...
Copy !req
343. Humans love to make a fuss.
Copy !req
344. He died in battle against
Aura ten years ago.
Copy !req
345. Mom...
Copy !req
346. The Liberation Festival is tonight.
Copy !req
347. Then we'd be no different from the demons.
Copy !req
348. They're capable of speech.
Copy !req
349. I'm curious about that mage.
Copy !req
350. What a pain in the rear...
Copy !req
351. Episode 7
Like a Fairy Tale
Copy !req
352. It's like a fairy tale.
Copy !req
