Synopsis of Sousou no Frieren

The Demon King has been defeated, and the victorious group of heroes has returned to their respective homes after disbanding. The four—the mage Frieren, the hero Himmel, the priest Heiter, and the warrior Eisen—reminisce about their decade-long journey as it comes time to say goodbye. But the passage of time is different for elves, and so Frieren witnesses his beloved companions slowly dying.

Before his death, Heiter manages to foist upon Frieren a young human apprentice named Fern. Driven by the elf's passion for collecting a wealth of magical spells, the pair embark on a seemingly aimless journey, revisiting the places that heroes of old had visited. Throughout their travels, Frieren slowly confronts his regret over the missed opportunities to form deeper bonds with his now-deceased comrades.
