Story transcript

Frieren: It's been fifty years since the Demon King fell.

Frieren: Himmel is gone now. So are Heiter and Eisen.

Donato Marcille: The humans you traveled with? I've experienced similar losses.

Donato Marcille: Though I never expected to miss their cooking. Those adventurers taught me the joy of monster cuisine.

Elfuda: Food is what connected me to them too! Though my human friends always teased me about my weight.

Elfuda: It's strange how quickly they age while we remain the same.

High Elf Archer: My party was... unusual. A human who only slayed goblins, of all things!

High Elf Archer: But he taught me more about real adventure than two millennia of elven songs.

Frieren: I collected so many spells during our journey, but never truly understood Himmel until he was gone.

Frieren: Now I journey to understand what I missed.

Donato Marcille: To the humans who changed us. May we carry their lessons through our long lives.

Donato Marcille: (Never thought I'd miss the taste of basilisk tail stew...)

High Elf Archer: You know what I learned? Humans rush because their lives are short, but they see beauty we miss.

High Elf Archer: Even that stubborn Goblin Slayer saw wonder in simple victories.

Elfuda: Perhaps that's why we seek them out, despite knowing we'll outlive them.

Elfuda: They burn so brightly in their brief time. Like shooting stars compared to our constant moon.
