Sousou no Frieren - episode 22 - 08 Feb, 2024

Frieren and Fern return to their lodging, Fern berates Stark for drinking and staying up late at night. Frieren suggests improving Fern's mood by taking her out to dinner at a restaurant she visited 80 years ago. Richter meets Denken and Laufen at his storefront who ask him for directions to a restaurant Denken once visited as well. Land is approached by Übel, who explains that she can copy magic if she can empathize with the person who cast it. Übel demonstrates this by binding Land with Wirbel's spell, and tries to interrogate him in order to steal his cloning magic but he convinces her that it's pointless. Denken's group finds the restaurant they were looking for and runs into Frieren's party as well as Land and Übel, but they choose to focus on their own meal. In a flashback, Himmel and his party are shown eating at the establishment, the chef proclaims that his restaurant will always be exceptional and use the same flavors. In the present, Frieren remarks the food has not stayed the same but instead tastes much better than in the past. The next morning Stark has to mediate an argument between Frieren and Fern, and they head out to get snacks. Lawine and Kanne spend the day together in town and run into Stark and the others at a bakery. While they are walking together as a larger group, Wirbel approaches Stark and recruits him for a monster hunting request from the magic association. At the inn, Lawine and Kanne hand baked goods to Frieren to thank her for helping them pass the first test. Frieren recalls Himmel telling her that he became a hero because changing a person's life in even a small way will cause them to remember him long after he is gone. While Frieren and others talk, they receive the notification for the second test. Lawine and Kanne are discouraged after seeing that Sense is proctoring the test, since nobody has ever been able to pass her tests. (Source: Wikipedia)
