WEBVTT
00:25.270 --> 00:32.230
Beyond Journey's End
01:29.990 --> 01:33.990
29 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
in the Bier region, located on the Northern Plateau
01:40.060 --> 01:43.130
I guess there are cities
on the Northern Plateau.
01:43.130 --> 01:45.030
There are a lot of bars here.
01:45.470 --> 01:49.590
This area's the only grain-producing
region on the Northern Plateau.
01:49.950 --> 01:52.420
It's always had plenty of breweries.
01:52.940 --> 01:54.690
Huh.
01:54.690 --> 01:56.820
I was talking to Old Man Fass.
01:57.120 --> 01:59.620
He said he's almost found Boshaft.
02:00.080 --> 02:01.440
Really?
02:01.440 --> 02:04.400
He's been talking about that
since my grandpa was a kid.
02:02.280 --> 02:04.780
What's Boshaft?
02:04.780 --> 02:07.250
I've heard about it from Mr. Heiter.
02:07.480 --> 02:11.890
Long ago, most of the continent was
ruled by a single great empire.
02:11.890 --> 02:15.550
It was an exquisite liquor
offered to the emperor.
02:15.550 --> 02:16.760
Huh.
02:17.070 --> 02:20.650
He would lament about how, because of
Ms. Frieren, he never got to drink it.
02:23.720 --> 02:25.650
There was a reason for that.
02:31.260 --> 02:33.720
I don't want to stay here for long.
02:33.720 --> 02:34.880
Once we're finished shopping—
02:34.880 --> 02:35.660
Frieren!
02:36.380 --> 02:38.770
It's you, Frieren!
02:42.000 --> 02:44.100
I haven't seen you in a century.
02:44.100 --> 02:46.550
It's been eighty years, Fass.
02:46.550 --> 02:50.250
You're a stickler for details now?
How unlike you.
02:52.220 --> 02:54.290
Your roster's changed.
02:54.290 --> 02:57.640
That young guy who liked
to drink isn't with you?
02:57.940 --> 02:59.730
Heiter's dead.
03:00.310 --> 03:01.880
He went peacefully.
03:04.180 --> 03:07.350
I see. I was too late.
03:10.000 --> 03:13.750
I've located Boshaft,
the Emperor's Spirits.
03:13.750 --> 03:15.300
Will you help me?
03:15.300 --> 03:17.750
You can use magic, right?
03:18.450 --> 03:21.860
What does magic have to do with Boshaft?
03:22.380 --> 03:24.050
Come with me, and you'll see.
03:31.580 --> 03:33.090
It's in here.
03:33.090 --> 03:36.200
Is this... a mine?
03:36.200 --> 03:38.950
I dug it all by myself.
03:40.730 --> 03:45.330
Most people think all dwarves are miners,
03:45.850 --> 03:48.350
but I grew up in the city.
03:48.350 --> 03:50.300
I had to study mining from scratch.
03:52.100 --> 03:55.360
I did it for that legendary liquor.
03:56.340 --> 03:58.850
Who is this old guy?
03:58.850 --> 04:01.740
Fass. No one loves liquor as much as him.
04:02.240 --> 04:06.250
He's spent over two hundred years
looking for Boshaft.
04:06.790 --> 04:10.110
He asked us for help
the last time we met,
04:10.490 --> 04:15.370
but we had a Demon King to defeat
at the time, so we said no.
04:15.370 --> 04:18.380
But Boshaft!
04:16.710 --> 04:18.380
Let go!
04:21.870 --> 04:24.970
Pulling Heiter away was no mean feat.
04:25.840 --> 04:29.690
Why are you digging a mine
to find liquor?
04:30.250 --> 04:36.400
According to legend, there's Boshaft
stored in the ruins underground here.
04:39.070 --> 04:41.400
And two hundred years ago,
04:41.400 --> 04:46.160
when I found this stone monument,
I knew it was true.
04:46.850 --> 04:48.780
This is ancient elvish.
04:49.760 --> 04:53.600
The inscription proclaims that Boshaft is
the greatest liquor to have ever existed.
04:55.030 --> 04:56.290
"Milliarde."
04:57.460 --> 05:00.010
Perhaps that's who wrote
this inscription.
05:01.570 --> 05:06.500
You're well-educated if you can
read ancient elvish at your age.
05:07.270 --> 05:11.010
Ms. Frieren drilled it into me
when I was young.
05:11.520 --> 05:15.150
Most grimoires are written
in ancient elvish.
05:15.150 --> 05:17.400
You'll have to learn to read it.
05:22.360 --> 05:24.430
So it was Milliarde.
05:25.780 --> 05:31.280
Ever since discovering this inscription,
I've dedicated my life to finding Boshaft.
05:31.660 --> 05:35.280
And now, it's almost within my grasp.
05:35.860 --> 05:37.730
You found the ruins?
05:38.180 --> 05:41.640
The ruins themselves, yes.
05:43.350 --> 05:47.160
But as you can see, the doors to
this stone chamber won't open.
05:47.160 --> 05:51.300
A powerful barrier was erected
to preserve the liquor.
05:51.610 --> 05:54.870
You should be able to break it, though.
05:58.280 --> 05:59.600
I can't.
05:59.600 --> 06:01.910
Surely you can.
06:01.910 --> 06:04.240
It'll take time to remove.
06:04.770 --> 06:06.950
Those kids wouldn't be happy about that.
06:06.950 --> 06:09.270
I'll make it worth your while.
06:09.710 --> 06:10.810
With a grimoire?
06:10.810 --> 06:14.200
Money! I'll pay you twenty
Reich gold coins.
06:16.670 --> 06:18.500
That's not even worth considering.
06:19.040 --> 06:20.710
Please, Frieren!
06:20.990 --> 06:24.220
It's my dream to drink Boshaft!
06:24.220 --> 06:26.720
I've been searching for
over two hundred years!
06:29.520 --> 06:30.720
No.
06:34.380 --> 06:37.720
Ms. Frieren, perhaps we could help him.
06:37.720 --> 06:40.860
Yeah. I feel sorry for Old Man Fass.
06:41.150 --> 06:43.450
What's this about?
You're giving me the creeps.
06:43.450 --> 06:45.610
Normally, you'd be opposed
to this sort of thing.
06:45.610 --> 06:49.360
Ms. Frieren, he's offering twenty gold
coins. We can use that on our journey.
06:49.360 --> 06:50.330
That's a ton of money.
06:50.330 --> 06:52.750
We won't have to worry about
living expenses for a while.
06:52.750 --> 06:54.240
What?
06:54.240 --> 06:57.990
But the barrier will take
three months to remove.
06:57.990 --> 06:59.330
That's hardly any time at all.
06:59.330 --> 07:00.250
What?
07:01.670 --> 07:03.250
We'll do it.
07:03.990 --> 07:06.370
Don't come crying to me later.
07:24.670 --> 07:27.190
We're in the final stages
of removing the barrier.
07:27.640 --> 07:30.150
We should be able to finish tomorrow.
07:34.170 --> 07:35.690
You don't look very pleased.
07:41.160 --> 07:42.620
I guess not.
07:43.480 --> 07:46.540
Boshaft doesn't taste good.
07:47.040 --> 07:50.080
It's not worth devoting your life to.
07:50.080 --> 07:52.060
But the inscription said...
07:53.970 --> 07:59.960
Some elves pass the time
in ways you wouldn't believe.
08:13.840 --> 08:17.870
Milliarde, you never do anything.
You just gaze off into space.
08:18.330 --> 08:24.520
Many of our fellow elves spend their
long lives searching for something.
08:24.520 --> 08:26.080
Why do you think that is?
08:26.520 --> 08:27.600
Why?
08:28.360 --> 08:30.870
So that they don't end up like me.
08:32.340 --> 08:36.660
Frieren, could you imagine the thing
you spent your life searching for
08:36.660 --> 08:40.350
turning out to be worthless garbage?
08:40.840 --> 08:43.850
Not at all. What are you talking about?
08:44.220 --> 08:48.110
My distant past.
08:51.930 --> 08:55.110
This liquor really is terrible.
08:55.630 --> 08:57.340
Boshaft.
08:57.340 --> 09:01.110
That's the awful, cheap liquor
they served at the coronation.
09:01.820 --> 09:07.130
Before coming to this village,
I carved an inscription to pass the time.
09:07.540 --> 09:11.280
It says, "Boshaft is the greatest
liquor to have ever existed."
09:12.180 --> 09:14.250
What was the point of that?
09:15.990 --> 09:18.190
There was no point at all.
09:22.730 --> 09:24.370
It's finally time.
09:45.310 --> 09:47.510
It's well-preserved.
09:47.510 --> 09:51.510
I never thought I'd get to taste this.
09:51.740 --> 09:55.160
Let's toast. Drink with me.
10:05.790 --> 10:07.220
This is...
10:11.040 --> 10:16.020
Frieren, why did you decline
to search for Boshaft?
10:18.610 --> 10:21.040
Heiter, you like liquor, right?
10:21.040 --> 10:22.530
Of course I do.
10:22.530 --> 10:24.960
Listen to this corrupt priest.
10:25.520 --> 10:28.800
What would you do if the liquor
you spent your life searching for
10:28.800 --> 10:31.260
turned out to be unbelievably terrible?
10:34.890 --> 10:37.450
Well...
10:37.930 --> 10:39.380
I think I'd laugh it off.
10:39.760 --> 10:44.250
It tastes bad, right? Then it's
best enjoyed with friends.
10:48.890 --> 10:50.740
It's so...
10:52.850 --> 10:54.100
It's terrible.
10:54.730 --> 10:57.770
It's the worst-tasting drink
I've ever had.
11:00.680 --> 11:04.100
Why are you just watching? Try it, Stark.
11:04.100 --> 11:07.210
What? No way. It's terrible, right?
11:07.210 --> 11:08.710
Just try it.
11:12.740 --> 11:14.880
It's freaking gross!
11:17.880 --> 11:20.520
Why is it so gross?
11:21.220 --> 11:23.170
It really is terrible.
11:23.170 --> 11:24.160
Try it.
11:26.300 --> 11:28.220
There's plenty to go around!
11:28.220 --> 11:30.880
I'll make the whole city suffer with me!
11:34.650 --> 11:35.890
Frieren.
11:35.890 --> 11:41.280
My search ended in disappointment,
but I've never had such a fun night.
11:41.540 --> 11:44.650
I'm glad you guys were here.
11:47.230 --> 11:50.580
Liquor's meant to be
enjoyed with good times.
12:03.040 --> 12:06.050
Episode 33: Logistics in the Northern Plateau
12:06.050 --> 12:10.050
30 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
in Norm Company territory, located on the Northern Plateau
12:12.740 --> 12:15.690
Here's your share of bread, Mr. Stark.
12:18.990 --> 12:23.060
Did you hear that?
This bread just went "clunk."
12:23.640 --> 12:26.070
That's not a sound food should make.
12:26.330 --> 12:30.300
We've been eating rock-hard
bread this whole week.
12:30.870 --> 12:32.820
Don't complain.
12:33.390 --> 12:38.340
The Northern Plateau is barren outside
of the grain-producing Bier region,
12:39.220 --> 12:42.120
and goods aren't even circulating now.
12:42.690 --> 12:46.080
We'll be eating mostly this while
we camp, at the very least.
12:47.140 --> 12:48.640
That's so sad.
12:48.640 --> 12:53.540
If we walk another half day,
we should be able to get a decent meal.
13:07.230 --> 13:09.660
That's an impressive fortress city.
13:10.250 --> 13:12.560
That's the Norm Company's estate.
13:12.560 --> 13:14.790
That structure in the center
is their headquarters.
13:15.860 --> 13:20.340
They deal in various goods,
primarily wheat from the Bier region.
13:20.770 --> 13:23.600
They're an armed trading company
with the logistics network
13:23.600 --> 13:28.780
and military force to supply the villages
dotted across the Northern Plateau.
13:29.590 --> 13:31.710
Not even the state can touch them.
13:31.710 --> 13:36.100
For all intents and purposes, they rule
humanity on the Northern Plateau.
13:36.100 --> 13:40.340
But Ms. Frieren, you said earlier
that goods aren't circulating.
13:40.890 --> 13:42.560
That's the problem.
13:42.970 --> 13:46.820
I don't know the specific cause,
but things change over time.
13:47.430 --> 13:51.100
Maybe the Norm Company
isn't as strong as it once was.
13:51.960 --> 13:57.710
But it's likely that they still have a lot
of influence on the Northern Plateau.
13:57.710 --> 14:00.420
We should avoid making waves.
14:09.110 --> 14:10.110
I see.
14:10.830 --> 14:13.350
So you're Ms. Fern, a first-class mage.
14:13.960 --> 14:15.610
You may pass.
14:17.840 --> 14:19.150
That person...
14:28.880 --> 14:30.510
One moment, please.
14:32.260 --> 14:33.940
I wonder what's going on.
14:40.120 --> 14:42.580
I am Norm, the company president.
14:43.020 --> 14:46.190
Ms. Frieren, mage of the party of heroes,
14:46.190 --> 14:51.650
you will be paying off the debt
you've owed for eighty years in full.
14:52.460 --> 14:55.970
Ms. Frieren, you've been carrying debt?
14:56.290 --> 14:57.490
Just a little.
14:57.490 --> 14:58.720
Seriously?
14:58.720 --> 15:01.980
But I was told I could
pay it back anytime.
15:02.190 --> 15:04.800
That's not what the documents say.
15:05.480 --> 15:07.780
Verbal agreements are no good.
15:07.780 --> 15:14.020
It seems my predecessor's predecessor
was lax in that area, but I am not.
15:16.180 --> 15:22.320
Three Strahl gold, twenty Reich gold,
and various silvers and coppers.
15:23.170 --> 15:25.740
You're as wealthy as a minor noble.
15:25.740 --> 15:26.580
Right?
15:26.580 --> 15:32.340
Your grandfather did us a favor,
so you can keep the change.
15:34.560 --> 15:35.340
I see.
15:37.120 --> 15:39.150
This isn't nearly enough.
15:41.030 --> 15:44.960
Anyway, I have to work in the mines
for three hundred years.
15:44.960 --> 15:48.100
My journey ends here.
15:50.570 --> 15:53.860
What are you talking about, Ms. Frieren?
15:53.860 --> 15:56.610
Why are you dressed like that?
Where's your bag?
15:57.050 --> 16:00.120
They took everything as collateral.
16:17.570 --> 16:20.250
Bye, Fern and Stark.
16:20.510 --> 16:21.760
Take care.
16:24.630 --> 16:25.770
What?
16:27.010 --> 16:28.700
What are we going to do?
16:29.690 --> 16:32.730
All we can do is buy back Ms. Frieren.
16:32.730 --> 16:34.880
She's not a thing, you know.
16:35.400 --> 16:39.400
Unfortunately, there's nothing
you can do about it.
16:39.690 --> 16:40.860
Take a look.
16:43.910 --> 16:46.390
According to the documents,
16:46.390 --> 16:48.910
she owes over five hundred Strahl
gold coins including interest.
16:48.910 --> 16:51.280
Even when converted to Reich gold coins,
16:51.280 --> 16:54.420
the most trusted currency on the Northern
Plateau, she owes over three hundred.
16:54.420 --> 16:57.920
Do you think you can procure such a sum?
16:58.630 --> 17:00.440
No, that would be impossible.
17:00.440 --> 17:02.390
Seriously, what are we going to do?
17:03.070 --> 17:05.820
We can't wait three hundred years.
17:11.630 --> 17:14.930
I don't really like mines.
17:14.930 --> 17:17.280
They're hot and dusty.
17:27.400 --> 17:31.420
The president told us
about you, Ms. Frieren.
17:33.310 --> 17:34.410
I see.
17:34.790 --> 17:36.750
Shall we get started, then?
18:28.410 --> 18:30.300
We'll go straight through here.
18:31.050 --> 18:32.680
You're certain?
18:33.230 --> 18:35.560
Who do you think I am?
18:37.370 --> 18:40.750
All right, boys! Start digging!
18:40.750 --> 18:41.960
Yeah!
18:56.410 --> 18:58.580
The Norm Company president
of two generations ago
18:58.940 --> 19:02.600
started out as a backwater noble
cast out to the Northern Plateau.
19:03.220 --> 19:09.790
He was a great man who invested in this
barren land and built a logistics network,
19:09.790 --> 19:13.400
bringing stability to people's lives.
19:14.920 --> 19:19.360
At the time, nobody expected
much from our party of heroes,
19:19.360 --> 19:22.620
but he provided us with funds
with no repayment deadline.
19:25.370 --> 19:30.100
I never thought I'd be treated
like this by his grandson.
19:31.250 --> 19:37.210
But there must be a reason you came
all the way to this mine, right?
19:38.470 --> 19:42.280
Logistics in the Northern Plateau
are in a terrible state, aren't they?
19:42.710 --> 19:44.090
I suppose.
19:44.090 --> 19:48.590
Even my companions complained that
they'd never eaten such hard bread.
19:48.590 --> 19:51.970
I'm sure they hadn't.
I'm not fond of it either.
19:52.990 --> 19:55.720
Since conditions have worsened here,
19:56.310 --> 20:01.980
we've lost a third of our armed
caravans and army fighting demons.
20:05.380 --> 20:07.990
Our logistics network is in ruins, too.
20:08.680 --> 20:12.820
If the Norm Company were a nation,
we'd have fallen already.
20:17.380 --> 20:20.610
However, we are a trading company.
20:21.560 --> 20:26.200
As long as we have the funds,
we can always rebuild.
20:27.560 --> 20:32.760
When you arrived in this region, I felt
the Goddess must've brought you here.
20:33.510 --> 20:39.340
That scrap of paper representing your
party's debt gained tremendous value.
20:40.410 --> 20:43.590
This mine is still under development.
20:43.590 --> 20:46.640
If we strike silver ore,
we'll turn a huge profit.
20:46.640 --> 20:50.760
Enough to forgive the party
of heroes' debt and more.
20:52.200 --> 20:55.780
It should be easy for you
to find, Ms. Frieren.
20:56.340 --> 21:01.950
I see. So you're using that
scrap of paper to coerce me.
21:02.980 --> 21:07.830
If our logistics network falls apart
entirely, many people will starve and die.
21:08.280 --> 21:13.150
Please save the people of the
Northern Plateau, Ms. Frieren.
21:15.900 --> 21:18.960
Also, if you help us, you'll
have soft bread to eat
21:18.960 --> 21:22.980
even in the farthest reaches
of the Northern Plateau.
21:23.830 --> 21:27.120
You're as shrewd as your grandfather.
21:27.520 --> 21:30.200
This is why I can't stand merchants.
21:30.790 --> 21:33.590
Fine. You have a deal.
21:34.180 --> 21:38.280
Either way, I intended to repay
the debt I owed your grandfather.
21:43.300 --> 21:47.640
I can't believe we
actually struck silver.
21:55.640 --> 21:58.220
I'm back. Shall we go?
21:59.010 --> 22:03.680
Oh, good. We were discussing
how to save you.
22:03.680 --> 22:06.620
We were planning to raid the mine tonight.
22:07.140 --> 22:10.170
Sheesh. You're so hot-headed.
22:10.840 --> 22:15.610
More importantly, from now on,
we'll get to eat soft bread.
22:16.400 --> 22:19.230
Huh? What does that mean?

23:50.090 --> 23:52.550
I was worried to death.
23:50.640 --> 23:52.540
I'll help you bury them.
23:51.700 --> 23:53.330
Protect the villagers!
23:52.570 --> 23:54.830
Someone like that can't be saved.
23:53.110 --> 23:55.430
We were a bit too late.
23:53.520 --> 23:55.530
Demons destroyed the village...
23:54.990 --> 23:57.250
There are so few of them.
23:55.820 --> 23:57.140
Are you praying?
23:56.420 --> 24:00.130
So Ms. Fern also received
a demon-slaying request.
