The episode takes place in the Granz Canal, an area once known for its clear water but which has become polluted over time. Frieren and her apprentice Fern agree to clean the area and, in return, receive a spellbook that turns out to be a forgery. Although Frieren knows this, she accepts the job and reveals that she is doing it for personal reasons.
Fern and Frieren spend three months in the village and become regulars at a local shop. The villagers tell them about a New Year's tradition where people watch the sunrise, which is especially beautiful when reflected in the clean water. Frieren and Fern work diligently to clean the shoreline and finish just in time for the festival.
Fern worries that Frieren won’t wake up early enough to see the sunrise, as she tends to oversleep. Frieren assures her that she will stay up all night to make it happen. On the day of the festival, Fern wakes Frieren, and they go to the shore. At first, Frieren finds the sunrise meaningless, but she notices Fern’s joy and begins to enjoy the moment. She realizes she wouldn’t have been able to experience this without Fern’s help.
The episode also includes flashbacks to conversations between Frieren and her old friends Himmel and Eisen. These dialogues reveal that Frieren has always been reluctant to form close bonds due to humans’ short lifespans. However, her interactions with Fern show that her perspective has changed.
The episode ends with Frieren and Fern preparing for a new journey, following the same path Himmel’s group took years ago. When they are approached by a stranger asking about a dragon, the stage is set for their next adventure.
