1. Shall we go, then?
Copy !req
2. Beyond Journey's End
Copy !req
3. It's unusually warm today.
Copy !req
4. Yeah, but...
Copy !req
5. we sure could use some cold, hard cash.
Copy !req
6. We'll have to look for work
in the next town.
Copy !req
7. You're already thinking about that, Fern?
Copy !req
8. It's important.
Copy !req
9. Mr. Stark,
Copy !req
10. unless we think two steps ahead,
our journey will come to a premature end.
Copy !req
11. I suppose that's true.
Copy !req
12. Work, huh?
Copy !req
13. I hope we can find something suitable.
Copy !req
14. Huh?
Copy !req
15. This feels familiar.
Copy !req
16. Thank you for the ride.
Copy !req
17. Don't mention it. It was most reassuring
to have a first-class mage along.
Copy !req
18. Anyway, you're headed to Ende?
Copy !req
19. To those of us who never
travel far from home,
Copy !req
20. that sounds like an
unimaginably long journey.
Copy !req
21. Maybe it is.
Copy !req
22. Beyond Journey's End
Copy !req
23. 29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
in the Saum Marshes, located in the northern lands
Copy !req
24. I caught a fish.
Copy !req
25. I'll add it to our breakfast.
Copy !req
26. I'll catch a big one next time.
Copy !req
27. That's odd. It should be around here.
Copy !req
28. Frieren's not usually up this early.
Copy !req
29. Apparently she woke up because
she was curious about something.
Copy !req
30. Huh.
Copy !req
31. Did you praise her?
Copy !req
32. Of course.
Copy !req
33. Found it.
Copy !req
34. Now this is a big one.
Copy !req
35. That's a pretty stone. What is it?
Copy !req
36. Here.
Copy !req
37. Huh?
Copy !req
38. I can't conjure fire.
Copy !req
39. It's called a magic-nullifying crystal.
Copy !req
40. It's a mineral that neutralizes
magical effects.
Copy !req
41. A crystal of this purity has an
effective radius of three meters.
Copy !req
42. Stark, try stepping away a bit.
Copy !req
43. Huh? Okay.
Copy !req
44. There it goes.
Copy !req
45. They're extremely rare.
Copy !req
46. Even a pebble-sized crystal
is worth several gold pieces.
Copy !req
47. You could buy a mansion
with one this large.
Copy !req
48. Wow.
Copy !req
49. But if it stops us from using magic,
we can't bring it with us.
Copy !req
50. It'd endanger us on our journey.
Copy !req
51. That's the problem.
Copy !req
52. Get rid of that stone right away.
Copy !req
53. If a monster attacked us right now,
we'd be wiped out.
Copy !req
54. Before that, I want to show you
an unusual property of this stone.
Copy !req
55. It's really interesting.
Copy !req
56. When you imbue these stones
with lots of mana...
Copy !req
57. they glow really brightly.
Copy !req
58. It's blinding.
Copy !req
59. Please just throw it away already.
Copy !req
60. It's still glowing.
Copy !req
61. We'll probably reach
the next village today.
Copy !req
62. By the way, are we near
the Northern Plateau?
Copy !req
63. That's still a ways away.
Copy !req
64. It's beyond a vast forest
and volcanic area.
Copy !req
65. A volcanic area, huh? Sounds dangerous.
Copy !req
66. It really isn't.
Copy !req
67. There hasn't been an
eruption in centuries.
Copy !req
68. These days, it's a relatively safe
hot spring region.
Copy !req
69. Hot springs?
Copy !req
70. A warm bath sounds pretty appealing.
Copy !req
71. It sure has been a while.
Copy !req
72. Huh? Hold on.
Copy !req
73. The ground here...
Copy !req
74. I knew it. It's an underground cave.
Copy !req
75. I hate how unstable the
ground is in marshland.
Copy !req
76. Huh? Ms. Frieren...
Copy !req
77. Oh...
Copy !req
78. We might be in trouble.
Copy !req
79. Huh? What?
Copy !req
80. No wonder we found that
magic-nullifying crystal on the surface.
Copy !req
81. I've never seen a deposit
this large before.
Copy !req
82. Please get off.
Copy !req
83. Almost the entire cave is filled
with magic-nullifying crystals.
Copy !req
84. If we brought it all back with us,
we'd be billionaires.
Copy !req
85. I doubt that's possible.
Copy !req
86. Huh?
Copy !req
87. Magic-nullifying crystal is one of
the hardest materials in existence.
Copy !req
88. And unlike other materials, it can't
be cut or processed using magic.
Copy !req
89. Some things are simply
out of humanity's reach.
Copy !req
90. In any case, we're not
climbing our way out of here.
Copy !req
91. Let's look for another exit.
Copy !req
92. What is it?
Copy !req
93. We're counting on you, Stark.
Copy !req
94. Since we can't use magic,
we're just ordinary girls in here.
Copy !req
95. Girls?
Copy !req
96. I haven't forgotten that you
called me an old hag, Stark.
Copy !req
97. Sorry about that.
Copy !req
98. You still haven't let that go?
Copy !req
99. I never thought we'd end up
camping in a place like this.
Copy !req
100. This cave complex is unbelievably vast.
Copy !req
101. We found lots of animal bones, too.
Copy !req
102. Ms. Frieren said this might be
the den of a large monster.
Copy !req
103. I'm amazed she can sleep so soundly.
Copy !req
104. She sure is carefree.
Copy !req
105. Ms. Frieren still seems to be
having fun, even here.
Copy !req
106. But it scares me too much.
Copy !req
107. I can't even detect mana.
Copy !req
108. I've never experienced
anything like this.
Copy !req
109. It's like I've been plunged
into total darkness.
Copy !req
110. Fern...
Copy !req
111. A monster!
Copy !req
112. Frieren, wake up! Run—
Copy !req
113. It's a venomous apex dragon.
Copy !req
114. Venomous?
Copy !req
115. It's a bad matchup for you.
Copy !req
116. You'll die from poison again.
Copy !req
117. I didn't die the first time!
Copy !req
118. But what are we supposed to do, then?
Copy !req
119. I can't believe you were sleeping
so comfortably, either.
Copy !req
120. How can you be so—
Copy !req
121. I trust you with my life.
Copy !req
122. I have ever since I recruited you
to be our front-liner.
Copy !req
123. Parties don't function otherwise.
Copy !req
124. I'm a man who flees
during critical moments.
Copy !req
125. I'm desperate to run away right now.
Copy !req
126. Are you?
Copy !req
127. Shall we run away together, then?
Copy !req
128. Stark, Fern.
Copy !req
129. Close your eyes.
Copy !req
130. Himmel, how can you
trust me with your life?
Copy !req
131. That's not something you
should say so readily.
Copy !req
132. I abandoned my village and fled.
Copy !req
133. Is that right?
Copy !req
134. Then if you feel like running,
let's run away together.
Copy !req
135. After all, we're a party.
Copy !req
136. Shall we run, then?
Copy !req
137. I'm a priest! Why do I have
to carry the heavy one?
Copy !req
138. Because the light one
says you stink of liquor!
Copy !req
139. That was scary.
Copy !req
140. But running away together
isn't so bad, is it?
Copy !req
141. Yeah.
Copy !req
142. Shall we go, then?
Copy !req
143. Frieren.
Copy !req
144. What?
Copy !req
145. My legs gave out. I can't walk.
Copy !req
146. Episode 29: Shall We Go, Then?
Copy !req
147. 29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
in the Great Sanft Forest, located in the northern lands
Copy !req
148. Is this enough for lunch?
Copy !req
149. Huh? They're not here.
Copy !req
150. Maybe I came back too early.
Copy !req
151. Okay, I'll go fishing.
Copy !req
152. I'll catch a big one today.
Copy !req
153. So cold...
Copy !req
154. It's just until we reach the hot springs.
Copy !req
155. Good. It's clean now.
Copy !req
156. Didn't Stark give you that
mirrored-lotus bracelet?
Copy !req
157. The hairpin you gave me
is also clean now.
Copy !req
158. You keep your staff in good shape, too.
Copy !req
159. You seem to really enjoy maintaining
your equipment, Fern.
Copy !req
160. Do I?
Copy !req
161. You're smiling right now.
Copy !req
162. Maybe it's because they were gifts.
Copy !req
163. I lost everything, including
my home, to war.
Copy !req
164. Perhaps I'm glad to gain more things
that are important to me.
Copy !req
165. It was worth the effort
picking that out for you.
Copy !req
166. You did put a lot of thought into it.
Copy !req
167. How do you know that?
Copy !req
168. Oh.
Copy !req
169. Pervert.
Copy !req
170. I'm really sorry!
Copy !req
171. I didn't know you were bathing!
Copy !req
172. I'm not mad.
Copy !req
173. Okay, all done.
Copy !req
174. Stark, I've been thinking...
Copy !req
175. What?
Copy !req
176. Are things a bit awkward right now?
Copy !req
177. They might be.
Copy !req
178. So you're starting to pick up
on stuff like this, too.
Copy !req
179. I'm kind of impressed.
Copy !req
180. This seems to happen from time to time.
Copy !req
181. Maybe you two aren't a good match.
Copy !req
182. I wouldn't say that.
Copy !req
183. Stark.
Copy !req
184. If you're uncomfortable, say so.
Copy !req
185. I'm the one who forced you
to join the party.
Copy !req
186. Listen, Frieren, I—
Copy !req
187. It's a crossroads.
Copy !req
188. The Northern Plateau is this way.
Copy !req
189. Neutral Harbor is that way.
Copy !req
190. Frieren, is that an inn?
Copy !req
191. Well, this is a major highway.
Copy !req
192. We won't have to camp out tonight.
Copy !req
193. Oh?
Copy !req
194. Well, if it isn't Frieren.
Copy !req
195. Our reunion was sooner than expected.
Copy !req
196. Stark, thanks for your help
with the Fresser.
Copy !req
197. Wirbel, you seem well.
Copy !req
198. I ended up traveling home by sea.
Copy !req
199. The demons are acting up
in the far north again.
Copy !req
200. I have to rush back.
Copy !req
201. I'm traveling with these guys
to the imperial capital.
Copy !req
202. He's been whining about how
much he hates being seasick.
Copy !req
203. Aren't you a grown man?
What are you doing?
Copy !req
204. Just so you know, I'm not that old yet.
Copy !req
205. I was still in my twenties
until just recently.
Copy !req
206. Another old man used
to say the same thing.
Copy !req
207. Anyway, Stark, have you
considered my offer?
Copy !req
208. What offer?
Copy !req
209. The situation in the far north
has gotten pretty bad.
Copy !req
210. There's a severe shortage
of front-liners.
Copy !req
211. I can't force you into it,
Copy !req
212. but I'd like your support for two or
three years until the front stabilizes.
Copy !req
213. Like I told you before, Wirbel,
I'm this party's front-liner.
Copy !req
214. I see. Well, I don't give up easily.
Copy !req
215. I'll do anything to protect the far north.
Copy !req
216. Frieren, mind if I persuade him a little?
Copy !req
217. Excuse me—
Copy !req
218. Suit yourself.
Copy !req
219. Ms. Frieren...
Copy !req
220. Cheers!
Copy !req
221. Seriously, Stark. Join our party.
Copy !req
222. He seems to be having fun.
Copy !req
223. I really can't.
Copy !req
224. Maybe Stark does find our
party a bit restrictive.
Copy !req
225. Um, Mr. Stark.
Copy !req
226. I turned down Wirbel's offer.
Copy !req
227. Are you sure you want
to do that, Mr. Stark?
Copy !req
228. Fern, why do you think I'm in this party?
Copy !req
229. When I first met you guys,
Copy !req
230. I was at the end of my rope.
Copy !req
231. I was ready to abandon
the village and run away.
Copy !req
232. I suck, right?
Copy !req
233. Frieren said she forced me to join the
party, but that's not what happened.
Copy !req
234. I don't think you'll run.
Copy !req
235. Because you encouraged me that night,
Copy !req
236. I wanted to travel with you
and joined your party.
Copy !req
237. You may not realize it,
Copy !req
238. but Frieren isn't the only one who
dragged my cowardly butt this far.
Copy !req
239. I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
240. So be nicer to me.
Copy !req
241. Very well.
Copy !req
242. Come here. I'll pet you.
Copy !req
243. What are you plotting? I'm scared!
Copy !req
244. What a pain in the rear.
Copy !req
245. I couldn't convince you after all, huh?
Copy !req
246. By the way, you're not traveling by boat?
Copy !req
247. Ocean travel is expensive.
Copy !req
248. Besides...
Copy !req
249. My master's party traveled
through the Northern Plateau.
Copy !req
250. We're always accepting weird jobs,
getting caught up in trouble,
Copy !req
251. and taking detours, though.
Copy !req
252. You've got your own adventure
to follow, huh?
Copy !req
253. No matter. You'll reach the
far north eventually, right?
Copy !req
254. I'll see you then.
Copy !req
255. Shall we go, then?

Copy !req
257. That seems a bit extreme.
Copy !req
258. Talk about tyrannical.
Copy !req
259. You just like taking on difficult jobs.
Copy !req
260. Straight to the point. I appreciate that.
Copy !req
261. She looks really unhappy.
Copy !req
262. I will die without achieving my goal.
Copy !req
263. Will you offer a prayer?
Copy !req
