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
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 15: Smells Like Trouble
29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero, in the Laub Hills, located in the northern lands
(フリｰレン) うおっ！
(ザイン) フリーレンたちは 旅をして どのくらいになるんだ？
How long have you been traveling together?
ん〜と…｡
Um...
(フェルン) 私がフリーレン様と 旅に出 てからですと➡
I first embarked on my journey with Ms. Frieren about four years ago.
４年ほどになります｡
(シュタルク) 俺は１年くらいだな｡
It's been about a year for me.
フッ｡
そうか｡
I see.
なぁ このパーティーには 足りない ものがある｡
There's something this party lacks.
何だと思う？
What do you think that is?
う〜ん 前衛は いるし➡
We've got a front-liner, mages, and a priest.
魔法使いも僧侶も揃っているし…｡
盗賊でしょうか｡
A thief, perhaps?
Since Ms. Frieren is always falling for mimics.
フリーレン様が ミミックに引っか かるので｡
｟うひょ〜！｠
Aw, yeah.
｟うっ…｠ ｟も〜…｠
Oh, come on.
宝箱には 無限の可能性があるんだ よ…｡
Treasure chests contain unlimited potential.
No.
違う｡
足りないのは もっと重要なものだ ｡
What we lack is something even more important.
年上のお姉さんだよ‼
An older lady!
普通はパーティーに １人くらいは いるだろう‼
Most parties have at least one sexy older lady!
色っぽい大人のお姉さんがさぁ‼
そうかなぁ…｡
Do they?
フリーレンがいるでしょうが｡
But we've got Frieren.
嫌だ… お姉さんじゃないもん…｡
No. She's not an older lady.
《すごく辛そう…》
He looks so distraught.
Sorry about that.
悪かったね｡
つ… 次の村が見えてきたぜ｡
H-Hey, the next village is coming into view.
あっ｡
息は ありますね｡
They're breathing.
ああ こっちもだ｡
Same over here.
どういうことだ？ みんな 眠ってる …｡
What's going on here? Everyone's asleep.
厄介事の匂いがするし 次の村に行 こうか｡
This smells like trouble.
Let's head to the next village.
フリーレン様 怒りますよ｡
Don't make me angry, Ms. Frieren.
冗談だよ…｡
I'm just kidding.
呪いだな｡ やっぱりか 面倒だね｡
It's a curse.
I thought so. What a hassle.
Hey, Frieren. What are curses?
なぁ フリーレン 呪いって 何なん だ？
魔物や魔族が使う魔法の中には➡
Among the spells cast by monsters and demons
are those that put people to sleep or turn them to stone.
人を眠らせたり 石にしたりするも のがあってね｡
Those which humankind has yet to unravel are known as curses.
その中でも人類が いまだに 解明で きていない魔法を➡
｢呪い｣と呼んでいるんだ｡
Humanity's magic can't explain the principles behind them or how to remove them.
人類の魔法技術じゃ 原理も解除方 法も分からない｡
じゃあ この村は もう手遅れなのか ？
Does that mean it's too late for this village?
あくまで ｢人類の魔法では｣の話だ よ｡
I'm only talking about humanity's magic.
僧侶が使う 女神様の魔法なら話は 別だ｡
The magic of the Goddess, which priests use, is a different story.
呪いへの対処は 昔から僧侶の生業 だからね｡
Tackling curses has long been the business of the clergy.
どう？ ザイン 何とかなりそう？
Well, Sein? Think you can help them?
急かすな｡
Don't rush me.
I'm currently determining the type and source of the curse.
今は呪いの種類と 発信源を調べて いる｡
How is the magic of the Goddess different from other magic?
女神様の魔法って 他の魔法と どう 違うんだ？
女神様の魔法は 聖典に記されてい て➡
The magic of the Goddess is recorded in holy scriptures
聖典の所持者しか使えない｡
and can only be used by the owners of said scriptures.
そのほとんどは 魔族の魔法と同じ で➡
Like the demons' magic, we don't understand the principles behind most of it,
原理が分かっていないんだ｡
so it's not very interesting.
だから あまり面白みがないんだよ ね｡
それに 生まれながらの 資質がない と扱うのは難しい｡
And it's difficult to use unless you're born with the specific knack for it,
さらに この資質は➡
which also bestows an increased resistance to curses.
呪いを効きにくくする 効果もあっ てね｡
確か ｢女神の加護｣って 呼ばれてる んだっけ｡
I believe they call it "the blessing of the Goddess."
だから基本的に 僧侶は呪いにも強 いんだ｡
Anyway, that's why priests are strong against curses.
じゃあ 呪いはフリーレンでも うま く防げないのか｡
So not even you can effectively defend against curses?
魔法使いでは 呪いは感知できない からね｡
Mages can't detect curses.
何となく 攻撃されている感じがす るから➡
I can sense I'm being attacked in some way,
この村が まだ呪いの範囲内 ってこ とだけは分かるかな｡
so I know this village is still under the effects of the curse.
むずむずします｡
I feel anxious.
Does that mean we're actively being cursed? I'm scared!
俺ら 現在進行形で 呪われてるって こと⁉ 怖い‼
I've determined that it's a rather unusual curse.
かなり特殊な呪いだということが 分かった｡
解除できないの？
You can't remove it?
儀式が必要だ 道具もいる｡
I'd need tools to conduct a specialized ritual.
これなら呪いをかけた 発信源を叩 いた方が早い｡
It'd be faster to defeat the source of the curse.
発信源は魔物だ 位置も割り出した ｡
It's coming from a monster. I've determined its location.
行くぞ｡ 話が早くていいね｡
Let's go.
That'll save time.
(倒れた音) あっ｡
フリーレン様｡
Ms. Frieren.
シュタルク様が…｡
It's Mr. Stark.
He's asleep.
寝ているね｡
一時的にでも 目覚めさせられない ？
Can you wake him temporarily?
今 使える魔法だけじゃ ５秒間 目 覚めさせるのが限界だ｡
With my current abilities, five seconds is the longest I can keep him awake.
ないのと同じですね｡
That's practically nothing.
とにかく 急いだ方がよさそうだな ｡
In any case, it looks like we should hurry.
♬〜
ん…｡
Fern won't wake up.
フェルンが起きない 小休止だって 言ったのに…｡
She said she was just taking a little break.
フェルンも眠っちまったか｡
So Fern has fallen asleep, too.
これは いよいよマズいね｡
This is starting to look bad.
結界を張った｡
I put up a barrier.
We'll hide them in here.
２人は ここに隠しておこう｡
もう少しだ 反応が近い｡
We're almost there. I can tell it's close.
そう…｡
I see.
じゃあ ザイン 魔物が出たら起こし てね｡
Sein, wake me when the monster shows up.
ん｡ １人で戦っちゃダメだよ…｡
Don't fight it alone.
私が必ず倒すから…｡
I promise I'll defeat it.
あのなぁ 俺の魔法じゃ ５秒しか …｡
I told you, five seconds is the longest I can...
(倒れた音)
Frieren?
フリーレン…｡
５秒じゃ どうしようもねえだろ｡
We can't do anything with five seconds.
まぁ いい｡
Fine.
僧侶にも戦闘用の魔法はある｡
I have battle magic, too.
♬〜
(ザイン)《混沌花の亜種》
It's a subspecies of chaos flower.
《眠った村人は こいつの肥料って わけか》
It must be feeding off the sleeping villagers.
《じわじわと魔力を吸い取られ 殺 される》
It'll sap away their mana until it eventually kills them.
うっ！
Chaos flowers merge with the local flora to create subspecies.
《混沌花は その土地の原生植物と 交わることで亜種を生み出す》
ぐっ！
It's like a mirror.
《まるで鏡面みたいだ》
《だが どんなに造形が変わろうと ➡
But no matter what they look like, their weakness is always their core.
弱点が核であることは 共通してい る》
Three Spears of the Goddess!
女神の三槍！
(衝撃音)
《何が起こった…》
What happened?
《こいつ 俺の魔法を反射させたの か…》
Did it reflect my magic?
《正確に核を撃ち抜かねえと➡
Unless I score a direct hit on the core,
葉同士の乱反射で どこに魔法が跳 ぶか分からねえ》
the leaves could deflect my spells in any direction.
《下手すればフリーレンに…》
If I'm not careful, it could hit Frieren.
あっ｡
《クソ… このままじゃジリ貧だ》
Damn it. This can only get worse.
《いっそのこと フリーレンを起こ すか？》
Should I wake Frieren?
《でも あいつは 勇者一行の魔法 使いだ》
But she's the mage from the party of heroes.
《強力な魔法が反射したら➡
If a powerful spell were deflected,
この森どころか 村が消し飛ぶかも しれねえ》
it could destroy not just the forest, but the village, too.
It's just five seconds.
《たった５秒だ》
That's not enough time to explain.
《説明の時間なんてねえぞ》
And Frieren and I haven't had the time to establish a mutual understanding
《それに俺は まだフリーレンと 意 思疎通できるほどの時間も➡
or learn to trust each other.
信頼関係も築けていない》
《そもそもフリーレンが 何を考え ているかも分からねえ》
I don't even know what Frieren's thinking.
あっ｡
That's right.
(ハイタｰ) ｟そう 何を考えているのか ➡
I never know what she's thinking.
分からないんですよ｠
(ハイタｰ)｟私は冒険者には➡
I don't believe adventurers require mutual understanding or trust.
意思疎通も信頼関係も 必要ないと 思っています｠
My companion Frieren was especially terrible at both.
｟特に 私の仲間であった フリーレ ンは➡
その点が拙かった｠
｟だから私は 彼女の言葉を 信じる ことにしました｠
So I decided to trust her words.
｟彼女は｢魔王を必ず倒す｣と 言い ました｠
She swore she would defeat the Demon King,
and I chose to believe her.
｟私は その言葉を信じたんですよ ｠
(ザイン)《｢言葉を信じる｣か…》
Trust her words, huh?
あっ！
ぐっ…！
｟１人で戦っちゃダメだよ…｠
Don't fight it alone.
｟私が必ず倒すから…｠
I promise I'll defeat it.
だらしない顔だったな…｡
She looked like a mess.
Don't blame me for whatever happens!
どうなっても知らねえぞ｡
目覚めの解呪｡
Awakening spell!
んっ！
フリーレン‼ 核だけを…！
Frieren, only the core—
(衝撃音)
♬〜
あ…｡
うん 分かった｡
Got it.
ん…？
(寝息)
何？ この状況…｡
What's going on here?
Thank you.
(領主) ありがとうございました｡
この御恩は忘れません｡
I won't forget this.
いや そこまでのことを したわけじ ゃ…｡
We didn't do much.
(領主) いいえ おかげで最高の目覚 めでした｡
No.
I've never been happier to be awakened, thanks to you.
んふふ｡
起きた瞬間にピンときたんだよね｡
The moment I woke up, I knew that it was the kind that reflects magic.
これ 魔法 反射するやつだって｡
お前って 本当に すごい魔法使い だったんだな｡
You really are an incredible mage.
でも 今回 生きて帰れたのは ザイ ンのおかげだよ｡
But we made it out alive because of you, Sein.
ありがとうね｡
Thanks.
んっ｡ うぅ…｡
偉いぞ｡
Good boy.
あ…｡
(ザイン) あの村のお姉さん キレイだ ったな…｡
That lady from the village sure was pretty.
まだ言ってる…｡
You're still saying that?
That's Vorig?
あれがフォーリヒか｡
29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero, at the fortress city of Vorig, located in the northern lands
魔法都市 オイサーストまでの 中継 地点だね｡
It's the relay point to Äußerst.
We're finally halfway there?
やっと半分ですか 本当に長い道の りですね｡
This really is a long journey.
とにかく フォーリヒで物資を補充 して…｡
We'll resupply in Vorig, and—
Ms. Frieren, this is awkward, but we're nearly out of funds.
あの フリーレン様｡
言いにくいのですが もう路銀が… ｡
(オルデン卿) おい そこのお前｡
Hey, you.
何だ？
What is it?
That's a noble's carriage.
貴族の馬車だな｡
え？
Huh?
何？ 何なの？
What? What's going on?
(オルデン卿) いい体だ 容姿も悪くない ｡
You've got a nice body. Your appearance isn't too bad either.
お前 私の屋敷に来い｡
Come to my mansion.
何なの〜⁉
What's going on?!
(オルデン卿) 名は何という？
What's your name?
シュタルク…｡
Stark.
オルデン卿 こういうのは困ります ｡
Lord Orden, you can't do this.
You know who I am?
私を知っているのか？
ここは北側諸国の三大騎士 オルデ ン家の屋敷でしょ｡
This is the mansion of the Orden family,
one of the Three Great Families of the northern lands.
あなたの祖父も強引な人だった｡
Your grandfather was a high-handed man, too.
何を訳の分からないことを 言って いる｡
What is this nonsense?
Either way, I'm having a conversation with Stark right now.
どちらにせよ 私は今 シュタルク と話している｡
私のパーティーの前衛です｡
He's my party's front-liner.
(オルデン卿) シュタルク お前と話すに は➡
Stark, do you need your mommy's permission to have a conversation?
ママの許可が必要なのか？
Please don't fight.
ケンカしないで…｡
依頼がある 金なら出す｡
I have a request. I'll pay you.
ばかばかしい 行くよ シュタルク｡
This is ridiculous. We're leaving, Stark.
Ms. Frieren.
フリーレン様｡
What are those copper coins?
何？ その銅貨｡
手持ちの路銀だってさ｡
They're all the funds we have left.
話くらいなら 聞いてあげてもいい かな｡
I guess we can at least hear you out.
フリーレン…｡
Frieren...
シュタルク 出身は どこだ？
Stark, where are you from?
A warrior village in the Klee region of the central lands.
中央諸国クレ地方の戦士の村だ｡
(オルデン卿) そうか 私の家系も 元は その村の一族だ｡
I see. My family line is originally from that village, too.
(オルデン卿) 長男のヴィルト｡
My eldest son, Wirt.
私の跡継ぎにして この街の英雄だ ｡
My heir and hero of this city.
シュタルク様に似ていますね｡
He looks like you, Mr. Stark.
(オルデン卿) うり二つだ｡
You're practically identical.
身なりを整えれば➡
If we got you cleaned up,
家の者でもない限り 見分けはつか ん｡
only someone from within the family would be able to tell the difference.
それが依頼と 何か関係があるんで すか？
What does that have to do with your request?
ひと月前に 魔族との大きな戦いが あってな｡
A month ago, we fought a large battle against demons.
その時にヴィルトが戦死した｡
Wirt died in action.
敵の将軍と相打ちだったよ｡
He and the enemy commander killed each other.
(オルデン卿の声) 不幸中の幸いだった のは➡
The silver lining was that it was a large-scale melee.
大規模な乱戦だったことだ｡
ヴィルトの死を知っているのは➡
The only ones who know of Wirt's death are Gabel over there
そこにいるガーベルと 一部の腹心 だけだ｡
and a few of my most trusted men.
What are you planning to make Stark do?
シュタルクに 何をさせるつもりで すか？
The fortress city of Vorig is key to this region's defense.
ここ 要塞都市フォーリヒは この地 方の守りの要だ｡
消耗した兵力を立て直すまで 士気 を下げるわけにはいかん｡
We can't allow morale to fall while we're rebuilding the forces we lost.
So you want to cover up your son's death until then.
それまで息子の死を 隠すってこと か…｡
(オルデン卿) ３か月後に➡
Three months from now, this region's influential figures will meet at a soirée.
この地方の有力者が集まる 社交会 が開かれる｡
そこでヴィルトの健在を示す｡
We'll show them that Wirt is alive and well.
報酬は？
How much will you pay us?
シュトラール金貨１０枚｡
Ten Strahl gold coins.
１年は三食おやつ付きで 生活でき ますよ｡
That's three meals a day plus snacks for a year.
魔導書も付けて｡
Throw in a grimoire.
書庫から１冊 好きなものを持って いけ｡
You can take one of your choosing from the library.
待ってくれよ 無理だって｡
Hold on. I can't do this.
第一 額の傷は どうするんだよ｡
What am I gonna do about this scar on my forehead?
元々 民衆には ヴィルトは療養中だ と伝えてある｡
The people already believe Wirt is recuperating.
そいつは名誉の負傷だ｡
That's an honorable battle scar.
あ…｡
シュタルク様 路銀のためです｡
Mr. Stark, we need the money.
悲しい…｡
This is sad.
ガーベル シュタルクに作法を叩き 込め｡
Gabel, teach Stark proper etiquette.
♬〜
シュタルク様 作法の練習は どうで すか？
Mr. Stark, how is your etiquette training coming along?
地獄だぜ｡
It's hell.
What do you think?
どうかな？
似合ってない｡ ひどい…｡
It doesn't suit you.
That's not nice.
ちょっと外の空気吸ってくる｡
I'm gonna get some fresh air.
Lord Orden.
オルデン卿｡
Aren't I always telling you to call me "Father"?
｢父上｣と呼べと いつも言っている だろう｡
どこに人の目があるか分からん｡
You never know when someone might be watching.
冷た過ぎるんじゃないか｡
Aren't you being too cold?
息子が死んでから まだ ２か月も経 っていないんだろう｡
It's been less than two months since your son died.
私は息子の遺言に 従っているだけ だ｡
I'm simply following my son's final wishes.
I even had a double prepared.
そのための影武者もいた｡
お前ほど似てはいなかったがな｡
He didn't look as much like him as you do, though.
確かに あまり 気分のいいもので はないな｡
I can't say I enjoy this.
だが これも息子の遺志だ｡
But it's what my son wanted.
付き合ってもらうぞ｡
I'll need your cooperation.
不器用過ぎるぜ あんた…｡
You're so awkward.
(ムｰト) フッ！
んっ！
ムート もっと背筋を伸ばせ｡
Mut, stand up taller.
Yes, Father.
(ムｰト) はい 父上｡
次男のムートだ｡
My second son, Mut.
跡継ぎになるというのに なかなか 上達せん｡
He's to be my heir, but he shows little improvement.
(シュタルクの父) ｟それに比べてシュタ ルク➡
But by contrast, Stark is a failure.
あいつは失敗作だ｠
剣技の腕は姿勢に出るからな｡
Skill with a sword affects one's posture.
お前にオルデン家の剣技を 教えて やる｡
I'll teach you the Orden family technique.
どうした？
What's wrong?
大丈夫だ 深呼吸しろ｡
It's all right. Take deep breaths.
あ…｡
ここは お前の故郷の村じゃ ない｡
This isn't your village.
Lord Orden, what do you think of Mut?
オルデン卿はムートのこと どう思 っているんだ？
兄ほどの才は ないな｡
He doesn't have his brother's talent.
だが 努力家だ｡
But he's a hard worker.
積み上げてきたものは 決して裏切 らん｡
What he's worked to build up won't let him down.
あいつは いつか 私よりも強い騎 士になる｡
Someday he'll become a stronger knight than me.
そうか…｡
I see.
それ ムートに 言ってやった方がい いぜ｡
You should tell that to Mut.
いつも言っている｡
I do.
だから調子に乗って なかなか上達 せん｡
But it's gone to his head, so he doesn't improve.
それは大問題だ｡
Now that's a problem.
え？
What?
私も作法の練習をするんですか？
I have to learn etiquette, too?
社交会だぞ｡
It's a soirée.
You expect a young man to attend it alone?
年頃の男子が１人で行くことなど あり得ると思うのか？
Or will his mommy escort him instead?
それとも ママが連れていってくれ るのか？
頑張ってね｡
Good luck.
あ…｡
♬〜
ここ１か月 地獄でした…｡
This past month has been hell.
路銀のためだろ｡
We need the money, right?
I'm sorry.
すみませんでした…｡
せっかく練習したんだしさ 踊ろう ぜ｡
We practiced. We might as well dance.
本当に似合っていませんね｡
That really doesn't suit you.
♪〜
俺たちも踊るか？
Shall we dance as well?
ケーキ食べる｡
I'm going to eat cake.
そう…｡
I see.
If not for this injury, I would've been in the vanguard.
このケガさえなければ➡
前線に立っていたのは私だった｡
ヴィルトも 死なずに済んだのかも な｡
Perhaps then, Wirt wouldn't have died.
(ガｰベル) 旦那様…｡
Milord...
(扉が開く音)
社交会が終わったようだな｡
Looks like the soirée is over.
依頼は終了だ｡
You've completed the job.
Gabel, give Frieren her reward.
ガーベル フリーレンに 報酬を渡し てきてくれ｡
(扉が閉まる音)
シュタルク お前の戦士としての 力 量は素晴らしいものだ｡
Stark, you're an incredibly powerful warrior.
If you'd like—
お前さえよければ…｡
I can't replace your son.
俺は あんたの息子の 代わりじゃな いぜ｡
そうだな｡
You're right.
And I can't replace your father.
私もお前の父親の代わりではない｡
だが 帰る場所なんて ないのだろう ｡
But you don't have a home to return to.
クレ地方の戦士の村は 魔族に滅ぼ された｡
The warrior village of the Klee region was destroyed by demons.
それくらいは知っている｡
I know that much.
My son and I parted in anger.
息子とはケンカ別れだった｡
ささいなことでの言い争いだ｡
We got into an argument over something trivial.
(オルデン卿の声) ｢お前の顔なんて 二 度と見たくない｣と➡
I told him I never wanted to see his face again.
そう言ってしまった｡
I didn't mean it.
心にもない言葉だった｡
When I found you, I thought it was a miracle.
お前を見つけた時は 奇跡だと思っ たんだ｡
なら なおさら ここには残れねえな ｡
All the more reason I can't stay here.
俺も 心にもない言葉を 言っちま ったんだ｡
I said something I didn't mean, too,
育ての親にさ｡
to the man who raised me.
だから 旅の土産話を➡
So I have to bring him back stories of my travels.
たっぷりと持って帰らねえと ダメ なんだ｡
そうか｡
I see.
う〜ん｡
報酬の魔導書 どれにしよう…｡
Which grimoire should I choose for my reward?
フリーレン様 もう半日になります よ｡
Ms. Frieren, it's been half a day.
ガーベル様も困ってます｡
You're distressing Mr. Gabel.
ハヤクシテ…｡
Please hurry up.
Look. All the life has left him.
ほら 生気が全くありませんよ｡
兵力の立て直しには まだまだ かか りそうだってよ｡
It'll be some time until they rebuild their forces.
(剣技の音)
どうした？
What is it?
いいや｡
Nothing.
少なくとも 跡継ぎには困らなそう だ｡
At the very least, he won't have to worry about his heir.
A forgotten hero, huh?
He's a forgotten hero. No one even knows his name.
He's totally decrepit.
He's been alone this whole time.
Humans grow quickly.
Episode 16 Long-Lived Friends
He's a long-lived friend of mine.
