Chapter 62

Reason for the Journey (ちの) is the sixty-second chapter of Yamada Kanehito & Abe Tsukasa's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Summary
Twenty-nine years after the death of the Hero Himmel, Frieren's Party is in the Great Sanft Forest. Stark accidentally walks to the river when Fern and Frieren are bathing, and the mood becomes tense. They arrive at a fork in the road between the Northern Plateau and Neutral Harbor. Inside the inn at the fork they encounter Wirbel, Ehre, and Scharf. Wirbel asks Frieren to let him convince Stark to help him in the war in the Northern Frontier for two or three years to stabilize the front. Frieren agrees, and states that perhaps Stark felt uncomfortable in their party. Later that evening, Fern approaches Stark who tells her that he turned Wirbel down and that he genuinely wanted to join Fern and Frieren, in large part because of Fern's encouragement. The next day, Wirbel's Party and Frieren's Party go their separate ways, with Wirbel stating they will meet again at the Northern Frontier sooner or later.
