The episode begins in the trading city of Warm, 27 years after the death of the hero Himmel. Frieren and her apprentice Fern go shopping. Frieren buys a book on the history of magic, which emphasizes the importance of theory in magic. Fern is skeptical about Frieren's shopping habits, but she is pleasantly surprised when Frieren takes her to a pastry shop and reveals that she has secretly been saving money.
Over dessert, the two grow closer, and Fern learns that Frieren's favorite treat is Mercure Pudding. Frieren gifts Fern a hair ornament for her birthday, and Fern thanks Frieren for her efforts to understand her better.
The scene shifts to the Forest of Größe, where Frieren and Fern practice defensive spells. Frieren stresses the importance of defensive magic and criticizes Fern for not reading the history book she bought. They arrive at a village where they meet a farmer who recognizes Frieren. He tells her that Qual, the Elder of Corruption, will soon break free from a seal placed on him 80 years ago by Himmel and his party.
Frieren decides to break the seal and confront Qual. She explains that Qual was a terrifying mage who developed a powerful spell called Zoltraak, which had devastating effects on adventurers and mages in the past. However, Frieren reveals that Zoltraak has since been studied and countered with new defensive spells developed by humans.
The next day, Frieren and Fern break the seal, and Qual appears. A battle ensues, during which Qual is shocked to discover that his once-deadly Zoltraak can now be easily blocked by modern defensive spells. Frieren defeats Qual and explains that his magic has become obsolete due to advancements in magical theory and practice.
The episode ends with the villagers thanking Frieren for her help. Frieren reflects on the trust the villagers had in Himmel—and by extension, in her. She admits that she still doesn’t fully understand human emotions, but she is making progress, thanks in part to her relationship with Fern.
