Events
Twenty years after Himmel's passing, Frieren travels to Heiter’s House. Along the way she meets a small child called Fern who helps lead her to Heiter’s House. Frieren is surprised to learn that Heiter has taken in Fern due to her status as a war refugee, which she states is unusual of him. In the house Heiter asks Frieren to make Fern her apprentice, but she refuses. Instead Heiter asks her to help decipher a grimoire from the Sage Ewig that supposedly contains long-lost immortality and resurrection magic. Before the time skip, Frieren has a small chat with Fern about magic and her training.

Fast forward around 4 years, Frieren and Heiter are having a talk about Fern's progress when Heiter suddenly collapses. Outside on the cliff Fern trains on, Frieren tries to get her to come back and stop her training for a while, so that she can be by Heiter's side. Fern refuses, stating the urgency of finishing her training, which is her form of repayment to Heiter for saving her when she was young.

Frieren is spurred to finish translating Heiter's grimoire, but it turns out the grimoire does not have any immortality or resurrection spells. Heiter accepts this because Fern can stand on her own now as Frieren's apprentice. He gives Frieren her payment and tells her to leave with Fern, not wanting Fern to see as his prognosis worsens. However, Frieren, in tears, tells Heiter that he should focus on saying a proper farewell to Fern and making as many memories as possible in the time he has left instead.

Frieren and Fern pour alcohol on Heiter's grave before embarking on their journey.
