Plot Details
Eisen, Fern, and Frieren ride a carriage back to Eisen's home.
After finding Flamme's notes, Eisen, Frieren, and Fern ride a carriage back to Eisen's home. Frieren falls asleep on Fern and starts mumbling about how cold it is around the Demon King's Castle, which Fern asks Eisen about. He explains that it is because Ende is located in the northernmost part of the continent, and much has happened there.
As they ride the carriage, Fern starts feeling awkward and tries to wake Frieren up, but to no avail. Eisen asks her if Frieren is a good teacher. Fern smiles and wonders. She states that Frieren simply travels in the wholehearted pursuit of magic and takes advantage of her. Frieren appears to have an interest in learning about Himmel and the other members of the Hero Party but Fern doubts that Frieren has an interest in her, saying she only took her as a pupil because of a promise she made with Heiter. During this, Fern has flashbacks showing Frieren and her escaping a monster with a looted grimoire, Frieren pointing at a statue of Himmel and the elf conversing with Heiter. However, Fern is very curious about Frieren. She would always give Fern a present on her birthday, even though she never shows an interest in her and she remembers her master gifting a present at a camp or another situation where the elf picked up a skull and a Shadow Dragon's Horn out of a chest. Eisen recalls a memory from when the Hero Party watched the Era Meteors in the Royal Capital together.
Frieren takes a nap on Fern's lap while Eisen and the apprentice have a conversation.
Frieren says she will continue travelling alone and carefree. Eisen tells her that she should take an apprentice to have someone to talk to while travelling. She calls it a waste of time since even if you taught them a lot, they would die off quickly anyway. Eisen tells her that that is not what it means to have relationships with people. Frieren disagrees and says that even her adventure with the Hero Party has not taken up one-hundredth of her life, and she asks Eisen if he knows what she means. Heiter senses the gloomy atmosphere and quickly changes the subject by suggesting that they all should drink as it is a joyous day, and Himmel figures out that he just wanted an excuse to drink.
Eisen smiles and tells Fern that Frieren is a good teacher, and Fern agrees. The trio gets off the carriage and walks a little more until they stop at one point. Frieren asks Eisen if he really won’t join them, and Eisen says he is no more than a burden now. He asks Frieren if she has memorized the path to Ende, and she confirms. Eisen apologizes to Fern, saying it will be a long journey that took even the Hero Party ten years. Frieren calls it just a ten-year adventure, and Eisen smiles and says that that one-hundredth has changed her.
Frieren and Fern depart, and Fern says that her time spent with Frieren will be one-half of her life. Frieren smiles and says that she will spend a lot more from here on.
