In front of Himmel stands a vision so beautiful, he can hardly believe it’s real. Except, of course it’s not, and the real battle is still raging on outside. Painful as it is, Himmel will have to break out of the illusion somehow, and send Frieren home. Back from her little sojourn, Frieren and her young charges finally make it into Empire territory. New monsters, aristocrats, and another year’s birthday await... Will Stark survive Fern’s gift-giving attempt this time?!
