Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF HIMMEL THE HERO,IN THE RAAD REGION, LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN LANDS

This place seems to have a lot of shops.

It'll be worth shopping around.

This is a lively town.

I see a lot of bars.

Oh, right. Frieren, let's goshopping together later.

This place seems to havea lot of nice shops.

If you want.

What are you doing, Frieren? Let's go.

Like a fairy tale

It's a sign the story has reached its end

Like a single passage taken from

A journey that was too long

Of the evil that once cast a shadow

Across this land

And the memories of the short journey

With the hero who defeated it

FRIEREN: BEYOND JOURNEY'S END

The story ends

And the hero goes to sleep

Leaving this land with

Days of peace and quiet

The passage of time heartlessly

Makes people forget

Even the tracks left behind by his life

Begin to rust

Just the same

Your words and wishes and courage

Are still inside of me

And they live on

We chose the same path

That's all it was supposed to be

Why is it that at some point

I wanted to understand the reason for

The tears that fall down my cheeks

Even now

If I retrace the journey we walked together

Even though you're not there

I know I'll be able to find it

EPISODE : PRIVILEGE OF THE YOUNG

You don't need to be so harsh!

You're always so rude to me!

Do you really hate me that much?

Forget it! I'm going back to my master!

Would it k*ll her to listento me once in a while?

What's all the noise about?

Are the lovebirds fighting?

It's Fern's birthday today,but Stark didn't get her a present.

Fern is furious.

- Fern is furious.- Hmph.

Hmph.

Honestly, I think you were too harsh today.

You never listen to anything Stark says.

I didn't get her anything either.

Men don't care about little thingslike birthdays and anniversaries.

Ow!

Okay, okay. I'll buy you something,so stop kicking me.

My knees are gonna be sore later.

I feel sorry for Stark.

I'm old enough to let most callousness go,

but girls can make the emotionsof boys his age swing wildly.

I think you should go after him.

Maybe you should go see him.

That's right. Her hair ornament hasa butterfly on it, too.

That's a cute pouch.

You don't like it?

I don't like how accustomed you seemto the company of women.

I see.

Did you find Stark?

He was in the plaza.

But you couldn't talk to him, huh?

I get it. It's not that you don't like him.

You just don't know how tointeract with boys your age.

Ah, to be young.

No matter. Choose whatever you want.

We can check out other stores, too.

No, it's fine.

Then I'll choose something for you.

Anyway, even if he forgot to get youa gift, I think you overreacted.

He's not that conscientious.

I doubt he even remembers his own birthday.

You shouldn't blame him.

I gave Mr. Stark a present on his birthday.

Really? Did you choose one with him?

How did you know?

Normally, no one declines when someoneoffers to buy them whatever they want.

You must consider it an important memory.

That's why you said no.

I don't know.

I just felt like it.

I see.

Then go apologize to Starkand pick out a gift with him.

He's just a kid. He's slow on the uptake.

You want to make up with him, don't you?

People won't know how you feelunless you tell them.

You're right.

I'm heading back to the inn.

Um...

I'm sorry for kicking you.

Mr. Stark.

Fern.

I—

Sorry!

I wanted to choose a gift with you,since I don't know what you like.

But I thought you'd get upset with meagain if I said that, so I couldn't.

I wouldn't be upset with you.

Mr. Stark, I'm sorry. I was too harsh.

It's fine. I'm used to it.

I'm really sorry.

Let's go.

Okay.

You're spying on them?

That's in poor taste, Frieren.

Same to you, Sein.

Looks like they made up.

You understand relationships betteronce you're older.

You start avoiding conflict then.

Those arguments are theprivilege of the young.

That can't have been easy for you, Frieren.

Looking after two kids sounds tough.

What do you mean byunderstanding relationships?

So it's three kids.

Fern asked me for advice instead of you.

I wonder who she's comparing me to.

Fern was raised by Heiter.

She shouldn't be comparing meto such a great priest.

I'd hardly call him great.

He was a drunk and often hungover.

Has he become an undead?

He was picky with his food, too.

Quit it.

And he lied all the time.

I haven't had anything to drink.

He was just a corrupt priest.

You're even more depraved, though.

Sorry about that.

I'm surprised, though.

The Mr. Heiter I remember wasa kind and dependable old man.

Unlike me, he was an ideal grown-up.

Heiter, you've changed.

You've matured.

What are you talking about? I'm an old man.

It happens naturally as people age.

Huh.

I wish I could say that, anyway,

but the truth is, my mind hashardly changed since I was a child.

I've simply been pretending to be an adultuntil I can make it as an ideal grown-up.

I'll probably keep pretendinguntil the day I die.

Children need grown-upsfor emotional support.

Fern in particular is the hardworking sort.

She needs lots of praise and guidance.

Then who will praise you forpretending until the day you die?

That's what the Goddess is for,

though I'll have to wait until I goto heaven to receive my reward.

Then I'll praise you down here.

You will?

But I'm a human. I doubt youunderstand how I feel.

How do you intend to praise me?

That was better than I expected.

Frieren, once I go to heaven,I'll speak with the Goddess for you.

You should be praised by her.

Oh? Then I'll look forward to it.

What do you think you're doing, Frieren?

I think you're a proper adult, Sein.

I would've loved to havean older woman do this.

You should be glad, then.

Few women are older than me.

YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF HIMMEL THE HERO,IN THE BANDE WOODS, LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN LANDS

Thank you.

There weren't any passenger carriagesaround here, so we appreciate it.

We help each other when we're in need.

I'm actually a merchant in the town up ahead.

I run an accessory shop there.

Are you interested?

You're a good salesman.

I'm not too interested, but Fernlikes that kind of thing. Don't you?

Huh?

Did you buy a new bracelet?

Um, this is...

That's a cute design.

I have a ring with the same design.

Himmel gave it to me.

It probably matches yours.

Really?

Now where did I put it?

Huh?

You're so disorganized.

Found it.

Sorry. I let my guard down.

Avian monsters are cunningand skilled at concealing their mana.

What are we going to do?

Can't we figure something out with flyingmagic after defeating the monster?

You can make a carriage levitate, right?

Stark, have you ever seen a flying carriage?

We're in one right now.

This may surprise you, but it's only beenforty years since humankind learned to fly.

Until then, the skies were theexclusive domain of demons and monsters.

The flying magic we use isa repurposed demon spell.

Spare me the details anddumb it down for me.

It means we can't adapt itbecause we copied their technique

without understandingthe principles behind it.

Things larger than humanscan only be made to fly briefly.

I see.

We'll have to get out.

I'll fly out with the merchant.

Fern, could you take Sein?

Understood.

I'll get my cargo together.

What about me?

You can jump down.

What are you talking about?

I'm pretty sure that would k*ll me.

You're a warrior. A fall fromthis height won't k*ll you.

Of course it would k*ll me!

Don't act like you don't understand that!

That's odd.

Eisen was never injured bya free fall from any height.

What is wrong with him?

Heiter was appalled.

That just goes to show that Mr. Eisenwas far from normal.

What about levitating the carriagejust before it hits the ground?

I'll need to calculateif I can stop a free fall.

If I don't reduce the force sufficiently,we'll be ground into minced meat.

That sounds horrifying!

Either way, we should probably hurry.

This type of monster hunts byslamming its prey into the ground.

I see.

Well, it's worth a shot.

Don't just drop us!

W-We're alive.

It seems like the plan was a success.

You call that a success?

You call that a plan?

The horse is only slightly injured.I've finished treating it.

But the carriage is a wreck.It needs repairs.

Sorry.

No, thank you.

If it'd just been me, I'd be dead.

It'll take a while to fix the carriage.

Huh?

That's odd.

Where did it go?

It's gotten warmer lately.

Should we start dressing lighter?

By the way, Fern, that bracelet...

It was a birthday present from Mr. Stark.

I spent three hours choosing a gift.

You ended up choosing it?

I asked him to choose what he wanted.

Oh, I see.

That must've been difficult, Stark.

Her type is the hardest to deal with.

Yeah.

Will she like this?

I spent three hours gauging her reactions.

I felt like I was dying.

Poor kid.

I can hear everything they're saying.

But...

I'm glad I did, since she likes it.

Anyway, good going, Stark.

I didn't think you knew what you were doing.

That design is of a mirrored lotus.

In the language of flowers,it means "eternal love."

In this area, people give themto their lovers.

Mr. Stark?

I-I didn't know!

This is all a misunderstanding.

You think I know the language of flowers?

That's fair enough. You're an idiot, after all.

You're being even harsher than usual!

It's not like you knew either.

Did you say something?

It's nothing.

Should I buy you a replacement?

You put a lot of effort intochoosing this gift for me.

Don't ever say that again.

Sorry.

What is it?

Nothing.

Ms. Frieren.

We've finished repairing the carriage.

We'll depart early tomorrow morning.

I see.

You've been slipping out every night.

What are you looking for?

The ring Himmel gave me.

I'll help.

We'll wait to depart until we've found it.

No.

If I don't find it tonight,I'll give up on it.

I'm used to losing things.

Besides, that's not theonly thing Himmel gave me.

Wasn't it a mirrored-lotusdesign ring like this one?

In the language of flowers,it means "eternal love."

Does it? I didn't know.

It doesn't matter. I doubt Himmelknew what it meant either.

Regardless, I'm sure it's important.

Let's look for it together.

You should've told me.

A few people in my village havelost accessories over the years.

I intended to give you this spellfor finding lost accessories

as a reward for your assistance.

Frieren.

You worked really hardto defeat the Demon King.

Choose whatever you'd like.

An accessory, huh?

I would've preferredsomething from a magic shop.

This one will do.

That was quick. Put more thought into it.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Frieren.

Thank you.

Aren't you glad you didn'tgive up, Ms. Frieren?

Maybe.

By the way, why are you wearinga mirrored-lotus bracelet?

Because Mr. Stark is an idiot.

How could you say that?

And you alright

Can you hear me

Trailing along deserted train tracks

Crying excessively

Wanting you to smile

I hold on to memories I'd like to keep fresh

There's something I'd like to tell you

With words more precious than a goodbye

Unremarkable yet special

See, things that couldn't have been

Seen if it weren't for these eyes

Why? They begin to overflow

So, if I were to be born again

I would surely choose this place once more

So, if we were to meet again

I'd never let you go, I'd choose the present

Even if no promises were made

Even if I'm lost in days of loneliness

Those tears will be alright,dawn will surely break

I'm whispering our lullaby

for you to come back home
