The event takes place on the Eng Road in the northern countries, 28 years after the death of Himmel the Hero. Frieren, Fern, and Stark assist in clearing a landslide that had blocked the road, earning the gratitude of the locals. They learn that the landslide was likely caused by a battle with demons, a common occurrence in this region.

The trio arrives in a town celebrating the Festival of Liberation, commemorating the defeat of the demons by Himmel and his party. Statues of Himmel and his companions stand in the town, including one resembling Frieren. The townspeople still remember the heroes and keep their legacy alive.

During their stay in the town, Frieren senses the presence of demons and is arrested for attacking them. She finds herself in a dungeon, where she learns that the demons are peace envoys from Aura the Guillotine, one of the Seven Sages of Destruction. The town is considering a peace treaty with Aura's forces, which Frieren believes is futile given the deceptive nature of demons.

The episode includes flashbacks to Frieren's past, where she and Himmel held differing views on whether demons could be reasoned with. Frieren asserts that demons only use language to deceive humans, a belief she holds to this day.

At the end of the narrative, Draht, one of Aura's executioners, enters Frieren's cell with the intent to kill her, setting the stage for the next episode.
