1. A grimoire by Flamme the Legendary Mage?
Copy !req
2. They say books attributed
to Flamme are never real.
Copy !req
3. Only forgeries have been found until now.
Copy !req
4. This is probably the best imitation
I've seen so far, though.
Copy !req
5. Not bad as a reward for defeating monsters.
Copy !req
6. I really don't understand the appeal.
Copy !req
7. That said, when all you see are fakes,
Copy !req
8. you start to doubt whether the
genuine article ever existed at all.
Copy !req
9. Flamme, the founder of humanity's magic,
is like a fairy tale herself.
Copy !req
10. A fairy tale, huh?
Copy !req
11. I suppose. It's been long enough since then.
Copy !req
12. I'm probably the only one
who remembers her face.
Copy !req
13. It's morning.
Copy !req
14. Ms. Frieren woke up early!
Copy !req
15. Is that so impressive?
Copy !req
16. Of course it is.
Copy !req
17. We must be sure to praise her.
Copy !req
18. What are we doing?
Copy !req
19. Like a fairy tale
Copy !req
20. It's a sign the story has reached its end
Copy !req
21. Like a single passage taken from
Copy !req
22. A journey that was too long
Copy !req
23. Of the evil that once cast a shadow
Copy !req
24. Across this land
Copy !req
25. And the memories of the short journey
Copy !req
26. With the hero who defeated it
Copy !req
27. Beyond Journey's End
Copy !req
28. The story ends
Copy !req
29. And the hero goes to sleep
Copy !req
30. Leaving this land with
Copy !req
31. Days of peace and quiet
Copy !req
32. The passage of time heartlessly
Copy !req
33. Makes people forget
Copy !req
34. Even the tracks left behind by his life
Copy !req
35. Begin to rust
Copy !req
36. Just the same
Copy !req
37. Your words and wishes and courage
Copy !req
38. Are still inside of me
Copy !req
39. And they live on
Copy !req
40. We chose the same path
Copy !req
41. That's all it was supposed to be
Copy !req
42. Why is it that at some point
Copy !req
43. I wanted to understand the reason for
Copy !req
44. The tears that fall down my cheeks
Copy !req
45. Even now
Copy !req
46. If I retrace the journey we walked together
Copy !req
47. Even though you're not there
Copy !req
48. I know I'll be able to find it
Copy !req
49. Episode 7: Like a Fairy Tale
Copy !req
50. 28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
on Eng Road, located in the northern lands
Copy !req
51. Thank you.
Copy !req
52. With the road blocked,
I didn't know what I was going to do.
Copy !req
53. Hey, is this really necessary?
Copy !req
54. You're not happy about it?
The reward isn't bad.
Copy !req
55. No, I mean, couldn't you just use magic
to carry the cart to the other side?
Copy !req
56. That wouldn't help the
people who come after us.
Copy !req
57. That's what Fern said, anyway.
Copy !req
58. You're rather selfish, Stark.
Copy !req
59. That's rich, coming from you.
Copy !req
60. Thank you.
Copy !req
61. Hey, thanks.
Copy !req
62. By the way, why was there
a landslide in just this area?
Copy !req
63. The northern lands have been
fighting demons here and there, too.
Copy !req
64. This landslide was probably
caused by one such skirmish.
Copy !req
65. The scars of battle, huh?
Copy !req
66. Mr. Stark, could you take a break
from that to help me over here?
Copy !req
67. Mr. Stark?
Copy !req
68. Hey, could you stop calling me Mr. Stark?
Copy !req
69. It weirds me out.
We're not that different in age.
Copy !req
70. I see. Very well.
Copy !req
71. Stark, quit wasting time
and help me already. Hurry up.
Copy !req
72. So rude!
Copy !req
73. I meant more like, can't you speak to me
in a more casual or familiar way?
Copy !req
74. I see.
Copy !req
75. And can't you be friendlier, too?
I'm sensitive, okay?
Copy !req
76. What a pain in the rear.
Copy !req
77. What'd you call me?
Copy !req
78. Are you making progress over there?
Copy !req
79. Let's hurry, Mr. Stark.
Copy !req
80. Okay.
Copy !req
81. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
82. If you'd like, I can show you
the way to the town.
Copy !req
83. An elf, huh?
Copy !req
84. I've lived many years, but this
is my first time seeing one.
Copy !req
85. I suppose we're something of a rarity.
Copy !req
86. Come to think of it, I've never
seen an elf besides you.
Copy !req
87. There aren't very many of us.
Copy !req
88. I've only seen my own kind a handful of times.
Copy !req
89. Elves may live a long time,
Copy !req
90. but across the board, we lack romantic
feelings and reproductive instincts.
Copy !req
91. We're quietly going extinct.
Copy !req
92. The last time I met a fellow elf
was more than 400 years ago.
Copy !req
93. Perhaps we're closer
to the end than I thought.
Copy !req
94. We can see the town now.
Copy !req
95. There's a line of wagons.
Copy !req
96. Those look like merchants.
Copy !req
97. The Liberation Festival is tonight.
Copy !req
98. Today's the day Himmel
and his party of heroes
Copy !req
99. once defeated the demons who ruled this land.
Copy !req
100. Is that right?
Copy !req
101. That's what the Liberation
Festival commemorates.
Copy !req
102. The statues of Mr. Himmel and his companions
in the central plaza are decorated,
Copy !req
103. and the entire town
throws a grand celebration.
Copy !req
104. Humans love to make a fuss.
Copy !req
105. They hold festivals for everything.
Copy !req
106. It's been more than eighty years
since the demons were defeated.
Copy !req
107. That's more than enough time for something
to pass from human memory.
Copy !req
108. But on this day, everyone
remembers the party of heroes.
Copy !req
109. Nice work.
Copy !req
110. Five retakes, huh?
Copy !req
111. We finished sooner than usual this time.
Copy !req
112. You're always getting statues made, Himmel.
Copy !req
113. Because I want everyone to remember us.
Copy !req
114. Unlike you, we don't live that long.
Copy !req
115. I need future generations to
remember how handsome I was.
Copy !req
116. I'm heading back to the inn.
Copy !req
117. But I guess the biggest reason
Copy !req
118. is so you won't be alone in the future.
Copy !req
119. What does that mean?
Copy !req
120. We're not fairy tales.
Copy !req
121. We really existed.
Copy !req
122. Every year, we celebrate the great deeds
accomplished by the party of heroes.
Copy !req
123. Come to think of it, you look a lot
Copy !req
124. like the statue of Ms. Frieren
from that very party.
Copy !req
125. Will they still be doing this
a hundred years from now?
Copy !req
126. Yes, as long as this town still stands.
Copy !req
127. How about a thousand?
Copy !req
128. Well, I don't know.
Copy !req
129. Shall we go?
Copy !req
130. We're heading far to the north.
Copy !req
131. Come to think of it, you haven't
told me your destination yet.
Copy !req
132. Where are we going?
Copy !req
133. Heaven.
Copy !req
134. Now that sounds fun.
Copy !req
135. 28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
in Graf Granat's domain, located in the northern lands
Copy !req
136. There are a lot of guards here.
Copy !req
137. Do you suppose something happened?
Copy !req
138. Let's decide who's going shopping.
Copy !req
139. Ms. Frieren, we're in a town.
Copy !req
140. I sense demons.
Copy !req
141. What?
Copy !req
142. Hey, you! What are you doing?
Copy !req
143. Graf Granat, did you put her up to this?
Copy !req
144. Lord Lügner, while it's true
I despise you and wish you dead,
Copy !req
145. I'm not foolish enough to openly attack
peace envoys in the middle of town.
Copy !req
146. Peace envoys?
Copy !req
147. They're probably adventurers
who don't know what's going on.
Copy !req
148. If you say so.
Copy !req
149. There's bloodlust in those calm, cold eyes.
Copy !req
150. Even the townsfolk who hate us
look upon me as a person,
Copy !req
151. even as they tremble in fear.
Copy !req
152. But you look at me as
though I'm a wild beast.
Copy !req
153. Aren't you?
Copy !req
154. You demons are wild beasts who
imitate human speech
Copy !req
155. but can't be communicated with.
Copy !req
156. Throw her in the dungeon
beneath the mansion.
Copy !req
157. Yes, milord.
Copy !req
158. Huh?
Copy !req
159. Hey!
Copy !req
160. I'm bored.
Copy !req
161. Ms. Frieren.
Copy !req
162. They said to reflect on your
actions for two or three years.
Copy !req
163. That's shorter than I expected.
Copy !req
164. Could you bring me some grimoires later?
Copy !req
165. You really do love to waste time.
Copy !req
166. I'm not here because I want to be.
Copy !req
167. So, what did he mean when he referred
to those demons as peace envoys?
Copy !req
168. I looked into it while shopping.
Copy !req
169. You know of Aura the Guillotine, don't you?
Copy !req
170. She's one of the Seven Sages of Destruction
who served the Demon King.
Copy !req
171. She lost most of her followers
fighting against us.
Copy !req
172. Last I heard, her whereabouts were unknown.
Copy !req
173. Did something happen recently?
Copy !req
174. Aura regained her power 28 years ago.
Copy !req
175. Her forces have been embroiled in battle
with this town for a long time,
Copy !req
176. but they've become exhausted
by the fruitless fighting,
Copy !req
177. so they're suing for peace.
Copy !req
178. So that's why they were allowed in as envoys.
Copy !req
179. That was a bad move.
Copy !req
180. Trying to talk to demons is pointless.
Copy !req
181. It can't be pointless.
Copy !req
182. They're capable of speech.
Copy !req
183. Surely the best option would be
to resolve things by talking them out?
Copy !req
184. They can't resolve things that way.
That's why it's pointless.
Copy !req
185. Demons are man-eating monsters.
Copy !req
186. Have you ever wondered why they
speak the same language as humans?
Copy !req
187. Hero, you must slay the fiend!
Copy !req
188. It's only a child.
Copy !req
189. So what? That thing ate our daughter!
Copy !req
190. It hurts...
Copy !req
191. It hurts, Mom...
Copy !req
192. Enough. I'll do it.
Copy !req
193. Then we'd be no different from the demons.
Copy !req
194. It's not as though they have to
eat humans to survive, right?
Copy !req
195. Why don't we give her
the opportunity to atone?
Copy !req
196. Chief...
Copy !req
197. You can't be serious!
Copy !req
198. Give us back our daughter!
Copy !req
199. I'll tend your wounds at my home.
Copy !req
200. I've been looking for someone
to help on the farm.
Copy !req
201. Himmel, you'll regret not
killing it now. It's a—
Copy !req
202. Frieren, we're capable of speech
with each other.
Copy !req
203. We'll be staying in this village anyway.
Copy !req
204. Why don't we see how it goes?
Copy !req
205. Fine.
Copy !req
206. Why did you kill the village chief?
Copy !req
207. We should've killed it back then.
Copy !req
208. There it is again.
Copy !req
209. Every day I felt your desire to kill me.
Copy !req
210. I just want to live in peace.
Copy !req
211. So I brought you a replacement
for the daughter I ate.
Copy !req
212. That's the village chief's daughter.
Copy !req
213. But the village chief is gone now.
Copy !req
214. It seems I've made a mistake somehow.
Copy !req
215. Then I have no choice.
I'm taking this child hostage.
Copy !req
216. You won't stop me again, will you?
Copy !req
217. No.
Copy !req
218. Mom...
Copy !req
219. "Mom" again?
Copy !req
220. Like monsters, demons don't raise their young.
Copy !req
221. They spend most of their time
after birth living in solitude.
Copy !req
222. You're solitary creatures by nature.
You have no concept of family.
Copy !req
223. So why do you use the word "mom"?
Copy !req
224. Because it stops you from killing us.
Copy !req
225. A wonderful, magical word...
Copy !req
226. For them, words are a means
of deceiving humans.
Copy !req
227. Flamme the Legendary Mage defined
monsters capable of speech as demons.
Copy !req
228. They're descended from
monsters who cried "help"
Copy !req
229. from the shadows to lure humans to them.
Copy !req
230. Don't forget to bring me grimoires.
Copy !req
231. Graf Granat is late.
Copy !req
232. A human diplomatic tactic.
Copy !req
233. In any case, I'm curious about that mage.
Copy !req
234. I know her face from somewhere.
Copy !req
235. Wild beasts who can't be
communicated with, huh?
Copy !req
236. That's an accurate description.
Copy !req
237. She's the only one in this town who
understands the true nature of us demons.
Copy !req
238. There's only one reason that predators
Copy !req
239. who prey on humans would
speak the human language.
Copy !req
240. They speak not to understand us
but to deceive us.
Copy !req
241. This town won't be around much longer.
Copy !req
242. I should take advantage of
the confusion to escape.
Copy !req
243. What is this?
Copy !req
244. My son's room.
Copy !req
245. He was a good boy.
Copy !req
246. He'd often boast about how he'd take over
the family soon so I could take it easy.
Copy !req
247. His Majesty gave him this sword
when he fought in his presence.
Copy !req
248. Where is your son now?
Copy !req
249. He died in battle against
Aura ten years ago.
Copy !req
250. All that came home to me was his sword.
Copy !req
251. Lügner!
Copy !req
252. I only invited you here to avenge my son.
Copy !req
253. I'm going to kill all of you
envoys here and now.
Copy !req
254. Your peace means nothing to me!
Copy !req
255. This room is quite clean.
Copy !req
256. I'm sure you've been keeping it
just as it was ten years ago.
Copy !req
257. So what if I have?
Copy !req
258. I've kept my father's room the same
since you killed him, too.
Copy !req
259. Why don't we put an end
to this, Graf Granat?
Copy !req
260. Or shall we continue to shed each other's
blood and cause even more grief?
Copy !req
261. We're capable of speech with each other.
Copy !req
262. Please grant us the opportunity
to settle this with discussion.
Copy !req
263. Show them to the guestroom.
Copy !req
264. I'll consider it.
Copy !req
265. Lord Lügner,
Copy !req
266. what is a "father"?
Copy !req
267. Who knows?
Copy !req
268. Graf Granat resents us, but he
seems to be an empathetic man.
Copy !req
269. If we win him over, we may
be able to convince him
Copy !req
270. to lower this town's defensive
barrier in the name of peace.
Copy !req
271. Then Lady Aura's forces will raze this town.
Copy !req
272. By the way, Linie, I don't see Draht.
Copy !req
273. He said he was off to eliminate an obstacle.
Copy !req
274. He's acting rashly.
Copy !req
275. What am I to do with that
hot-blooded youngster?
Copy !req
276. Lord Draht, you should not be here.
Copy !req
277. Please return to the guest—
Copy !req
278. Who are you? Visiting hours are over.
Copy !req
279. I am Draht, one of Aura the
Guillotine's executioners.
Copy !req
280. I am here to kill you.
Copy !req
281. I see. Done pretending to negotiate?
Copy !req
282. We're just getting started.
Copy !req
283. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
284. According to Lord Lügner,
this girl is the only obstacle in our way.
Copy !req
285. If I kill her, and we win over Graf Granat,
this town will fall easily.
Copy !req
286. Just so you know, I'm strong.
Copy !req
287. Stronger than me?
Copy !req
288. Stronger than Aura the Guillotine.
Copy !req
289. And you alright
Copy !req
290. Can you hear me
Copy !req
291. Trailing along deserted train tracks
Copy !req
292. Crying excessively
Copy !req
293. Wanting you to smile
Copy !req
294. I hold on to memories I'd like to keep fresh
Copy !req
295. There's something I'd like to tell you
Copy !req
296. With words more precious than a goodbye
Copy !req
297. Unremarkable yet special
Copy !req
298. See, things that couldn't have been
Copy !req
299. Seen if it weren't for these eyes
Copy !req
300. Why? They begin to overflow
Copy !req
301. So, if I were to be born again
Copy !req
302. I would surely choose this place once more
Copy !req
303. So, if we were to meet again
Copy !req
304. I'd never let you go, I'd choose the present
Copy !req
305. Even if no promises were made
Copy !req
306. Even if I'm lost in days of loneliness
Copy !req
307. Those tears will be alright,
dawn will surely break
Copy !req
308. I'm whispering our lullaby
Copy !req
309. for you to come back home
Copy !req
310. Who is that mage?
Copy !req
311. Speaking so casually to me
is a serious crime in this town...
Copy !req
312. We don't stand a chance against them.
Copy !req
313. You're a guard-killer who should be executed.
Copy !req
314. I hate fighting powerful opponents, too.
Copy !req
315. This fight is already over.
Copy !req
316. She slew more demons
than anyone else in history.
Copy !req
317. Episode 8
Frieren the Slayer
Copy !req
