Sousou no Frieren - episode 17 - 04 Jan, 2024

As Sein takes his time to decide, the party stays at the village but their departure is halted when a snowstorm falls, keeping them in the village for an entire month. During this time, Fern gets angry at Stark and Sein discovers that it was because Stark accidentally grabbed her shoulder with too much strength, startling her. Sein convinces the two to make up and after the storm subsides, he leaves the party to look for Gorilla Warrior while Frieren and the rest set for Äußerst. On the way there, Fern gets sick and they stop in a small village to treat her. In the occasion, Frieren reveals to Stark that she usually grabs Fern's hand when she is sick to give some emotional support and reminisces when Himmel did the same for her when she was traveling with him. After Fern gets better, the party finally arrives at Äußerst in time for Frieren and Fern to take the First-Class Mage Exam. (Source: Wikipedia)
