1
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:32,210
Beyond Journey's End

2
00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:33,970
29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
in the Bier region, located on the Northern Plateau

3
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,110
I guess there are cities
on the Northern Plateau.

4
00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:45,010
There are a lot of bars here.

5
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:49,570
This area's the only grain-producing
region on the Northern Plateau.

6
00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:52,400
It's always had plenty of breweries.

7
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,670
Huh.

8
00:01:54,670 --> 00:01:56,800
I was talking to Old Man Fass.

9
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,600
He said he's almost found Boshaft.

10
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:01,420
Really?

11
00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:04,380
He's been talking about that
since my grandpa was a kid.

12
00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:04,760
What's Boshaft?

13
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,230
I've heard about it from Mr. Heiter.

14
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:11,870
Long ago, most of the continent was
ruled by a single great empire.

15
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:15,530
It was an exquisite liquor
offered to the emperor.

16
00:02:15,530 --> 00:02:16,740
Huh.

17
00:02:17,050 --> 00:02:20,630
He would lament about how, because of
Ms. Frieren, he never got to drink it.

18
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:25,630
There was a reason for that.

19
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,700
I don't want to stay here for long.

20
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:34,860
Once we're finished shopping—

21
00:02:34,860 --> 00:02:35,640
Frieren!

22
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,750
It's you, Frieren!

23
00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:44,080
I haven't seen you in a century.

24
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,530
It's been eighty years, Fass.

25
00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:50,230
You're a stickler for details now?
How unlike you.

26
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,270
Your roster's changed.

27
00:02:54,270 --> 00:02:57,620
That young guy who liked
to drink isn't with you?

28
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,710
Heiter's dead.

29
00:03:00,290 --> 00:03:01,860
He went peacefully.

30
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,330
I see. I was too late.

31
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:13,730
I've located Boshaft,
the Emperor's Spirits.

32
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:15,280
Will you help me?

33
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,730
You can use magic, right?

34
00:03:18,430 --> 00:03:21,840
What does magic have to do with Boshaft?

35
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,030
Come with me, and you'll see.

36
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,070
It's in here.

37
00:03:33,070 --> 00:03:36,180
Is this... a mine?

38
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:38,930
I dug it all by myself.

39
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:45,310
Most people think all dwarves are miners,

40
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:48,330
but I grew up in the city.

41
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:50,280
I had to study mining from scratch.

42
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,340
I did it for that legendary liquor.

43
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,830
Who is this old guy?

44
00:03:58,830 --> 00:04:01,720
Fass. No one loves liquor as much as him.

45
00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:06,230
He's spent over two hundred years
looking for Boshaft.

46
00:04:06,770 --> 00:04:10,090
He asked us for help
the last time we met,

47
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:15,350
but we had a Demon King to defeat
at the time, so we said no.

48
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:18,360
But Boshaft!

49
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:18,360
Let go!

50
00:04:21,850 --> 00:04:24,950
Pulling Heiter away was no mean feat.

51
00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:29,670
Why are you digging a mine
to find liquor?

52
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:36,380
According to legend, there's Boshaft
stored in the ruins underground here.

53
00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:41,380
And two hundred years ago,

54
00:04:41,380 --> 00:04:46,140
when I found this stone monument,
I knew it was true.

55
00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:48,760
This is ancient elvish.

56
00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:53,580
The inscription proclaims that Boshaft is
the greatest liquor to have ever existed.

57
00:04:55,010 --> 00:04:56,270
"Milliarde."

58
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,990
Perhaps that's who wrote
this inscription.

59
00:05:01,550 --> 00:05:06,480
You're well-educated if you can
read ancient elvish at your age.

60
00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:10,990
Ms. Frieren drilled it into me
when I was young.

61
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:15,130
Most grimoires are written
in ancient elvish.

62
00:05:15,130 --> 00:05:17,380
You'll have to learn to read it.

63
00:05:22,340 --> 00:05:24,410
So it was Milliarde.

64
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:31,260
Ever since discovering this inscription,
I've dedicated my life to finding Boshaft.

65
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,260
And now, it's almost within my grasp.

66
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:37,710
You found the ruins?

67
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,620
The ruins themselves, yes.

68
00:05:43,330 --> 00:05:47,140
But as you can see, the doors to
this stone chamber won't open.

69
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:51,280
A powerful barrier was erected
to preserve the liquor.

70
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:54,850
You should be able to break it, though.

71
00:05:58,260 --> 00:05:59,580
I can't.

72
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:01,890
Surely you can.

73
00:06:01,890 --> 00:06:04,220
It'll take time to remove.

74
00:06:04,750 --> 00:06:06,930
Those kids wouldn't be happy about that.

75
00:06:06,930 --> 00:06:09,250
I'll make it worth your while.

76
00:06:09,690 --> 00:06:10,790
With a grimoire?

77
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:14,180
Money! I'll pay you twenty
Reich gold coins.

78
00:06:16,650 --> 00:06:18,480
That's not even worth considering.

79
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:20,690
Please, Frieren!

80
00:06:20,970 --> 00:06:24,200
It's my dream to drink Boshaft!

81
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,700
I've been searching for
over two hundred years!

82
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,700
No.

83
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,700
Ms. Frieren, perhaps we could help him.

84
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:40,840
Yeah. I feel sorry for Old Man Fass.

85
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:43,430
What's this about?
You're giving me the creeps.

86
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:45,590
Normally, you'd be opposed
to this sort of thing.

87
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:49,340
Ms. Frieren, he's offering twenty gold
coins. We can use that on our journey.

88
00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:50,310
That's a ton of money.

89
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:52,730
We won't have to worry about
living expenses for a while.

90
00:06:52,730 --> 00:06:54,220
What?

91
00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:57,970
But the barrier will take
three months to remove.

92
00:06:57,970 --> 00:06:59,310
That's hardly any time at all.

93
00:06:59,310 --> 00:07:00,230
What?

94
00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:03,230
We'll do it.

95
00:07:03,970 --> 00:07:06,350
Don't come crying to me later.

96
00:07:24,650 --> 00:07:27,170
We're in the final stages
of removing the barrier.

97
00:07:27,620 --> 00:07:30,130
We should be able to finish tomorrow.

98
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:35,670
You don't look very pleased.

99
00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:42,600
I guess not.

100
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:46,520
Boshaft doesn't taste good.

101
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:50,060
It's not worth devoting your life to.

102
00:07:50,060 --> 00:07:52,040
But the inscription said...

103
00:07:53,950 --> 00:07:59,940
Some elves pass the time
in ways you wouldn't believe.

104
00:08:13,820 --> 00:08:17,850
Milliarde, you never do anything.
You just gaze off into space.

105
00:08:18,310 --> 00:08:24,500
Many of our fellow elves spend their
long lives searching for something.

106
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,060
Why do you think that is?

107
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:27,580
Why?

108
00:08:28,340 --> 00:08:30,850
So that they don't end up like me.

109
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Frieren, could you imagine the thing
you spent your life searching for

110
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,330
turning out to be worthless garbage?

111
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:43,830
Not at all. What are you talking about?

112
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,090
My distant past.

113
00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:55,090
This liquor really is terrible.

114
00:08:55,610 --> 00:08:57,320
Boshaft.

115
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,090
That's the awful, cheap liquor
they served at the coronation.

116
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,110
Before coming to this village,
I carved an inscription to pass the time.

117
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,260
It says, "Boshaft is the greatest
liquor to have ever existed."

118
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,230
What was the point of that?

119
00:09:15,970 --> 00:09:18,170
There was no point at all.

120
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:24,350
It's finally time.

121
00:09:45,290 --> 00:09:47,490
It's well-preserved.

122
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,490
I never thought I'd get to taste this.

123
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,140
Let's toast. Drink with me.

124
00:10:05,770 --> 00:10:07,200
This is...

125
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:16,000
Frieren, why did you decline
to search for Boshaft?

126
00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:21,020
Heiter, you like liquor, right?

127
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:22,510
Of course I do.

128
00:10:22,510 --> 00:10:24,940
Listen to this corrupt priest.

129
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:28,780
What would you do if the liquor
you spent your life searching for

130
00:10:28,780 --> 00:10:31,240
turned out to be unbelievably terrible?

131
00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:37,430
Well...

132
00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:39,360
I think I'd laugh it off.

133
00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:44,230
It tastes bad, right? Then it's
best enjoyed with friends.

134
00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:50,720
It's so...

135
00:10:52,830 --> 00:10:54,080
It's terrible.

136
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:57,750
It's the worst-tasting drink
I've ever had.

137
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:04,080
Why are you just watching? Try it, Stark.

138
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,190
What? No way. It's terrible, right?

139
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:08,690
Just try it.

140
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,860
It's freaking gross!

141
00:11:17,860 --> 00:11:20,500
Why is it so gross?

142
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,150
It really is terrible.

143
00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:24,140
Try it.

144
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,200
There's plenty to go around!

145
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,860
I'll make the whole city suffer with me!

146
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:35,870
Frieren.

147
00:11:35,870 --> 00:11:41,260
My search ended in disappointment,
but I've never had such a fun night.

148
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,630
I'm glad you guys were here.

149
00:11:47,210 --> 00:11:50,560
Liquor's meant to be
enjoyed with good times.

150
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:06,030
Episode 33: Logistics in the Northern Plateau

151
00:12:06,030 --> 00:12:10,030
30 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
in Norm Company territory, located on the Northern Plateau

152
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,670
Here's your share of bread, Mr. Stark.

153
00:12:18,970 --> 00:12:23,040
Did you hear that?
This bread just went "clunk."

154
00:12:23,620 --> 00:12:26,050
That's not a sound food should make.

155
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:30,280
We've been eating rock-hard
bread this whole week.

156
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:32,800
Don't complain.

157
00:12:33,370 --> 00:12:38,320
The Northern Plateau is barren outside
of the grain-producing Bier region,

158
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,100
and goods aren't even circulating now.

159
00:12:42,670 --> 00:12:46,060
We'll be eating mostly this while
we camp, at the very least.

160
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,620
That's so sad.

161
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:53,520
If we walk another half day,
we should be able to get a decent meal.

162
00:13:07,210 --> 00:13:09,640
That's an impressive fortress city.

163
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:12,540
That's the Norm Company's estate.

164
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:14,770
That structure in the center
is their headquarters.

165
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,320
They deal in various goods,
primarily wheat from the Bier region.

166
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:23,580
They're an armed trading company
with the logistics network

167
00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:28,760
and military force to supply the villages
dotted across the Northern Plateau.

168
00:13:29,570 --> 00:13:31,690
Not even the state can touch them.

169
00:13:31,690 --> 00:13:36,080
For all intents and purposes, they rule
humanity on the Northern Plateau.

170
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,320
But Ms. Frieren, you said earlier
that goods aren't circulating.

171
00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:42,540
That's the problem.

172
00:13:42,950 --> 00:13:46,800
I don't know the specific cause,
but things change over time.

173
00:13:47,410 --> 00:13:51,080
Maybe the Norm Company
isn't as strong as it once was.

174
00:13:51,940 --> 00:13:57,690
But it's likely that they still have a lot
of influence on the Northern Plateau.

175
00:13:57,690 --> 00:14:00,400
We should avoid making waves.

176
00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:10,090
I see.

177
00:14:10,810 --> 00:14:13,330
So you're Ms. Fern, a first-class mage.

178
00:14:13,940 --> 00:14:15,590
You may pass.

179
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:19,130
That person...

180
00:14:28,860 --> 00:14:30,490
One moment, please.

181
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,920
I wonder what's going on.

182
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:42,560
I am Norm, the company president.

183
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,170
Ms. Frieren, mage of the party of heroes,

184
00:14:46,170 --> 00:14:51,630
you will be paying off the debt
you've owed for eighty years in full.

185
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,950
Ms. Frieren, you've been carrying debt?

186
00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:57,470
Just a little.

187
00:14:57,470 --> 00:14:58,700
Seriously?

188
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:01,960
But I was told I could
pay it back anytime.

189
00:15:02,170 --> 00:15:04,780
That's not what the documents say.

190
00:15:05,460 --> 00:15:07,760
Verbal agreements are no good.

191
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:14,000
It seems my predecessor's predecessor
was lax in that area, but I am not.

192
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:22,300
Three Strahl gold, twenty Reich gold,
and various silvers and coppers.

193
00:15:23,150 --> 00:15:25,720
You're as wealthy as a minor noble.

194
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,560
Right?

195
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,320
Your grandfather did us a favor,
so you can keep the change.

196
00:15:34,540 --> 00:15:35,320
I see.

197
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:39,130
This isn't nearly enough.

198
00:15:41,010 --> 00:15:44,940
Anyway, I have to work in the mines
for three hundred years.

199
00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:48,080
My journey ends here.

200
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:53,840
What are you talking about, Ms. Frieren?

201
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,590
Why are you dressed like that?
Where's your bag?

202
00:15:57,030 --> 00:16:00,100
They took everything as collateral.

203
00:16:17,550 --> 00:16:20,230
Bye, Fern and Stark.

204
00:16:20,490 --> 00:16:21,740
Take care.

205
00:16:24,610 --> 00:16:25,750
What?

206
00:16:26,990 --> 00:16:28,680
What are we going to do?

207
00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:32,710
All we can do is buy back Ms. Frieren.

208
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:34,860
She's not a thing, you know.

209
00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:39,380
Unfortunately, there's nothing
you can do about it.

210
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:40,840
Take a look.

211
00:16:43,890 --> 00:16:46,370
According to the documents,

212
00:16:46,370 --> 00:16:48,890
she owes over five hundred Strahl
gold coins including interest.

213
00:16:48,890 --> 00:16:51,260
Even when converted to Reich gold coins,

214
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:54,400
the most trusted currency on the Northern
Plateau, she owes over three hundred.

215
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,900
Do you think you can procure such a sum?

216
00:16:58,610 --> 00:17:00,420
No, that would be impossible.

217
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:02,370
Seriously, what are we going to do?

218
00:17:03,050 --> 00:17:05,800
We can't wait three hundred years.

219
00:17:11,610 --> 00:17:14,910
I don't really like mines.

220
00:17:14,910 --> 00:17:17,260
They're hot and dusty.

221
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:31,400
The president told us
about you, Ms. Frieren.

222
00:17:33,290 --> 00:17:34,390
I see.

223
00:17:34,770 --> 00:17:36,730
Shall we get started, then?

224
00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:30,280
We'll go straight through here.

225
00:18:31,030 --> 00:18:32,660
You're certain?

226
00:18:33,210 --> 00:18:35,540
Who do you think I am?

227
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:40,730
All right, boys! Start digging!

228
00:18:40,730 --> 00:18:41,940
Yeah!

229
00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:58,560
The Norm Company president
of two generations ago

230
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,580
started out as a backwater noble
cast out to the Northern Plateau.

231
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,770
He was a great man who invested in this
barren land and built a logistics network,

232
00:19:09,770 --> 00:19:13,380
bringing stability to people's lives.

233
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:19,340
At the time, nobody expected
much from our party of heroes,

234
00:19:19,340 --> 00:19:22,600
but he provided us with funds
with no repayment deadline.

235
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:30,080
I never thought I'd be treated
like this by his grandson.

236
00:19:31,230 --> 00:19:37,190
But there must be a reason you came
all the way to this mine, right?

237
00:19:38,450 --> 00:19:42,260
Logistics in the Northern Plateau
are in a terrible state, aren't they?

238
00:19:42,690 --> 00:19:44,070
I suppose.

239
00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:48,570
Even my companions complained that
they'd never eaten such hard bread.

240
00:19:48,570 --> 00:19:51,950
I'm sure they hadn't.
I'm not fond of it either.

241
00:19:52,970 --> 00:19:55,700
Since conditions have worsened here,

242
00:19:56,290 --> 00:20:01,960
we've lost a third of our armed
caravans and army fighting demons.

243
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,970
Our logistics network is in ruins, too.

244
00:20:08,660 --> 00:20:12,800
If the Norm Company were a nation,
we'd have fallen already.

245
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:20,590
However, we are a trading company.

246
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:26,180
As long as we have the funds,
we can always rebuild.

247
00:20:27,540 --> 00:20:32,740
When you arrived in this region, I felt
the Goddess must've brought you here.

248
00:20:33,490 --> 00:20:39,320
That scrap of paper representing your
party's debt gained tremendous value.

249
00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:43,570
This mine is still under development.

250
00:20:43,570 --> 00:20:46,620
If we strike silver ore,
we'll turn a huge profit.

251
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:50,740
Enough to forgive the party
of heroes' debt and more.

252
00:20:52,180 --> 00:20:55,760
It should be easy for you
to find, Ms. Frieren.

253
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,930
I see. So you're using that
scrap of paper to coerce me.

254
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,810
If our logistics network falls apart
entirely, many people will starve and die.

255
00:21:08,260 --> 00:21:13,130
Please save the people of the
Northern Plateau, Ms. Frieren.

256
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,940
Also, if you help us, you'll
have soft bread to eat

257
00:21:18,940 --> 00:21:22,960
even in the farthest reaches
of the Northern Plateau.

258
00:21:23,810 --> 00:21:27,100
You're as shrewd as your grandfather.

259
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:30,180
This is why I can't stand merchants.

260
00:21:30,770 --> 00:21:33,570
Fine. You have a deal.

261
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,260
Either way, I intended to repay
the debt I owed your grandfather.

262
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,620
I can't believe we
actually struck silver.

263
00:21:55,620 --> 00:21:58,200
I'm back. Shall we go?

264
00:21:58,990 --> 00:22:03,660
Oh, good. We were discussing
how to save you.

265
00:22:03,660 --> 00:22:06,600
We were planning to raid the mine tonight.

266
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:10,150
Sheesh. You're so hot-headed.

267
00:22:10,820 --> 00:22:15,590
More importantly, from now on,
we'll get to eat soft bread.

268
00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:19,210
Huh? What does that mean?

270
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:52,530
I was worried to death.

271
00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:52,520
I'll help you bury them.

272
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,310
Protect the villagers!

273
00:23:52,550 --> 00:23:54,810
Someone like that can't be saved.

274
00:23:53,090 --> 00:23:55,410
We were a bit too late.

275
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:55,510
Demons destroyed the village...

276
00:23:54,970 --> 00:23:57,230
There are so few of them.

277
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,120
Are you praying?

278
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,020
So Ms. Fern also received
a demon-slaying request.
