Frieren: I Reject My Humanity!

Chapter 317 317: Epilogue (Part 1)

"Why me? Why does it have to be me!"

At the headquarters of the Continental Magic Association, Falsch sat draped in a lavish ceremonial robe, clutching his head and letting out a string of pitiful groans.

"…There's no helping it. There's simply no one better suited to be president than you."

Around Falsch stood a circle of mages — Edel, Ehre, Wirbel, Genau, and Lernen among them.

"Surely Elder Lernen is the most qualified candidate? He's the strongest, and the most respected of anyone here!"

Falsch looked as though he still wanted to fight his way out of this, but the others exchanged glances and offered him nothing but sympathetic looks.

"This old man has no talent for leadership… If that child Sense were still around, she might have been a fine choice."

That was Lernen's verdict.

"Exactly — Falsch, aren't you terribly good at handling all sorts of administrative work? Now that Lady Serie wishes to step off the stage of history… there's no one better to take over as president."

Ehre immediately chimed in to back up her grandfather.

"Seconded. No objections from me either."

Edel gave a firm nod.

"Tch… can we put the whole president business on hold for a second?! Did I miss something?! The Demon Race is gone, there was some massive, unprecedented battle — and I didn't get to show up for any of it!"

Wirbel slammed his hand down on the table, his voice dripping with impatience.

"Ah… um…"

At those words, Ehre felt a shiver run down her spine.

"Wirbel, trust me — it's a good thing you weren't there. If you had been… you would have died even more horribly than the rest of us. Fíliya absolutely would have killed you first."

......

"Fern — so you've decided not to stay and work at the Association after all."

Stark fell into step beside the girl and struck up a conversation.

"Yes… my journey isn't over yet. This time, I'd like to travel to the far south — I heard the wars among the Southern Nations have finally come to an end."

"Oh? Really? They'd been fighting for decades — how did things just suddenly turn peaceful?"

"It was the upheaval from before, most likely… The chaos Fíliya caused left every nation without the capacity to keep waging war. I don't know how long this peace will last — but at least, for now, it holds."

Fern smiled softly as she said it.

"I see."

Stark nodded.

"So when do we leave?"

"Not for a while yet. First, let's go meet up with Lady Frieren — and then all go together… to visit Lady Flamme."

"Ah… speaking of which, Lady Flamme really is something else. She became the Empire's Chief Mage again in such a short time."

"Yes… Lady Flamme still wants to keep dedicating herself to this country, I suppose. But with her there, at least we don't have to worry about the Empire going astray."

"That I can believe… Oh, should we bring gifts?"

"Not sure. Let's meet up with Lady Frieren first and figure it out together."
