Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (葬送のフリーレン)

Are you sure this is far enough?

It's fine. I'll make the rest of the journey alone.

Besides, my destination is only accessible on foot.

Very well. Take care.

Beyond Journey's End

30 years after the death of Himmel the Hero, in the Drachen region, located on the Northern Plateau

This looks bad.

The village was attacked by a dragon.

They even have dragons on the Northern Plateau?

This really is a dangerous place.

It could be worse.

What?

When I traveled with Himmel, we were attacked by a flight of dragons.

I can't even imagine a whole flight.

That's crazy.

Um... do dragons not normally travel in flights?

Was this village attacked by a flight?

Yes. One moved in nearby.

I'd like you to slay them.

The Northern Plateau's normal is terrifying.

That's super crazy.

This village is done for.

You should move somewhere else.

But this is our home.

Be careful.

Are you okay?

I'll bring it to you now.

He's right, Ms. Frieren.

That was a cruel thing to say.

I feel sorry for the villagers.

Do you understand what it means to face a whole flight of dragons?

There's no way we'll come away unscathed.

We protect people's homes. Right, Frieren?

It'll depend on the pay.

Our village is very poor. We have nothing to pay you with.

You don't have any grimoires?

Only one for a terribly useless spell that allows you

to say tongue twisters without tripping over your words.

That does sound useless.

Doesn't matter as long as it's a spell, huh?

Do you know where the dragons came from?

Somewhere in those woods.

We'll search for traces of mana.

We may be able to track them.

We continue straight here.

I've been thinking this for a while now, but magic sure is amazing.

It's really convenient at times like these.

Keep the praise coming.

Mr. Stark, carelessly praising her isn't good for Ms. Frieren's development.

I guess that's true.

What do you two think I am?

In any case, I can tell roughly which way they are. Let's go.

There they are.

That's a lot of dragons.

But they're small ones.

They won't be nearly as strong as that solar dragon.

That said, dragons are smart. Don't let them surround you.

Let's draw them to one spot and take them down all at once.

Stark, keep them locked down.

You're an experienced dragon fighter, right?

Again? That's a tall order.

Shall we begin?

You'd better actually fire some spells this time.

As long as you don't end up slaying them all first.

That was a ridiculously intense battle.

It's a good thing this village has a church.

You even got your head chewed on during the fight.

How are you not in worse shape?

I don't know.

That's probably normal for warriors.

Eisen was fine after getting his head bitten, too.

No, Mr. Eisen is definitely as far from normal as it gets.

I hope you weren't waiting long.

Thank you. Here's your grimoire as payment.

Come to think of it, you almost always demand payment for helping people.

Because that's what Himmel did.

I'm surprised.

I always assumed he was someone who helped others for free.

I know. I used to think the same thing.

Thank you so much.

You deserve more, but as you can see, our village is poor.

This is all we have.

We can't accept food from this village.

Is that a grimoire?

Actually, it's a notebook we received from a traveling merchant some time ago,

but we have no use for it.

Himmel, why do you demand payment nearly every time we help someone?

If they pay us, they don't owe us anything.

We're the party of heroes.

What we want is to help people, not words of gratitude.

If we make people indebted to us, we haven't really helped them.

That's why I even take ridiculous spells like this as payment.

Frieren...

I'm going to see if it really works later.

In the end, you just want spells.

Couldn't you get a spell that prevents dragon bites instead?

Episode 37: Himmel's Memoirs

How's it look outside, Frieren?

Looks like we won't be able to head out for a while.

That's some terrible luck.

I can't believe we're stuck here.

I'm so bored, I could die.

That's less the boredom and more the hangover.

Cheer up, everyone.

We're on an adventure to defeat the Demon King.

We haven't been able to adventure for days now.

Adventures aren't just about strolling around in the great outdoors.

Sometimes, an adventure can just be a bunch of crappy days in a row.

You're the only one calling it crappy.

What are you doing, Himmel?

Is something the matter?

No...

30 years after the death of Himmel the Hero, by Lake Korridor, located on the Northern Plateau

It's been a week since we arrived in this city.

The weather's as stormy as ever.

Will you be able to take the ferry out today?

Does it look like I can?

My boat isn't a coffin, you know.
