Episode Title:
The Land Where Souls Rest
Episode Description:
In exchange for cleaning a beach, Frieren receives a grimoire written by famous mage Flamme, even though it is fake. The work is finished by New Year when the locals traditionally watch the sunrise. Frieren, a notorious late sleeper, missed the sunrise during her last visit, upsetting her friends. This time she makes it but finds the sunrise dull, until she sees Fern enjoying herself and realizes why missing it last time upset everyone, because they were supposed to go together. They then visit Eisen’s home, having not seen him in thirty years. He asks for help searching Voll Basin for Flamme’s genuine grimoire as Flamme supposedly found a way to speak to the dead, and he thinks it will be beneficial for Frieren to speak with Himmel one more time. Frieren recalls Flamme was her human master 1,000 years ago, who instructed her to find her home if she ever felt regret and wanted to speak to the dead. Frieren recovers Flamme's genuine grimoire which describes where all souls go, Aureole, at the northernmost point of the continent where the Demon Lord's castle is located. On the way home, Eisen is happy Frieren is learning to care about people and is a good teacher to Fern. Frieren asks Eisen to accompany them to Aureole, but Eisen declines, citing he would slow her down in his old age. However, Eisen also reminds them that their original adventure to the Demon King's castle took ten years, which Frieren acknowledges.
