The episode also focused on Frieren, the elf, who outlives everyone. To fulfill the promise and seek a magic object, she returns to the capital only to find Himmel, the Hero grown old. The episode saw Frieren come face-to-face with the stark reality of humanity's mortality as Himmel breathed his last due to old age.

Later, she finds a new companion in Fren, whom Heiter had rescued. Upon Heiter's request, she begins to teach Fren magic. Once Heiter breathed his last, the Elfen mage set off with Fren to fulfill various requests. The final segment of the episode saw Frieren embark on a new adventure to find the Aureole.
