Chapter 30

Mirrored Lotus is the thirtieth chapter of Yamada Kanehito & Abe Tsukasa's Sousou no Frieren.

Summary
Twenty-nine years after the Hero Himmel's passing, Frieren's Party is in the Bande Woods. They catch a ride on a stagecoach and discuss the bracelet Stark bought Fern for her birthday, which shares the same mirrored lotus flower design as a ring Himmel previously purchased for Frieren. Their stagecoach is attacked by a birdlike monster and lifted into the air. Frieren jumps out of the wagon and blasts the monster in midair, dropping them to the ground and damaging the wagon in the process. While the party is repairing the wagon, Frieren realizes she has lost Himmel's ring. Meanwhile, Sein reveals that the mirrored lotus represents eternal love. After the wagon is fixed, Fern realizes that Frieren has lost her ring and assists her in searching for it. With the aid of magic that seeks out lost accessories from the merchant, they locate the ring. As the party proceeds onwards through the woods, Frieren reflects on how she obtained the ring and that she is happy she did not give up on it.
