Story transcript

Emilia: Franky, you must try this Lugnican blend. It's only harvested once every three years.

Franky Topaz: Three years? That's... not even long enough for my laundry cycle.

Emilia: Oh! Frieren promised she'd join us today!

Franky Topaz: The elf? Didn't she say that... fifty years ago?

Frieren: The petals are still falling. I thought I was late.

Emilia: F-Fifty years late! The tree bloomed and withered seventeen times since your last visit!

Frieren: But it was only yesterday that I said I'd come.

Emilia: Yesterday was half a century ago!

Frieren: Ah. Human time moves differently.

Franky Topaz: So when she said she'd teach you that ancient spell 'next week'...

Emilia: That was forty-three years ago! I've been waiting at this spot every Tuesday since!

Frieren: The tea smells lovely. Shall we discuss your magical studies?

Franky Topaz: Sure, let's talk about them. Maybe she'll finish learning them by the year 3000.

Emilia: I... I need to sit down. For about fifty years.
