Episode Title:
Winter in the Northern Lands
Episode Description:
After paying proper respects to Aura's victims and enjoying Granat's hospitality, Frieren and her party continues on their journey, but plans to drop by at Äußerst, a large magical city in the northern lands, to get a first-class mage certification that will enable them to travel through the Northern Plateau. However, on the way, they get lost in a blizzard at the foot of the Schwer mountains and Stark begins to suffer hypothermia. Fortunately, they find an emergency cabin and meet an elven monk named Kraft. Frieren and her party stay with Kraft inside the cabin for six months to ride out the winter. Kraft then confides in Frieren that he decided to worship the Goddess because with all of his old friends dead and his accomplishments long forgotten, only she can remember his deeds and praise him when he finally goes to heaven. He then asks about Frieren's past, offering to praise her in the place of the Goddess. This triggers a flashback where Heiter once said the exact same words to Frieren and she declines Kraft's offer, stating somebody has already praised her. Kraft advises that Frieren cherish her friends and companions before parting ways with her and her party.
