In your home village, there was a demon who was second only to other people sealed 80 years ago. This demon had been confronted by Himmel's group, an old group of heroes who had defeated the Demon King, and Frieren had sealed this demon.

Knowing this, you dedicated yourself from a young age to your own forms of magical combat so you could one day defeat this demon, and so you did.

The seal breaks, Qual, the name of the demon trapped there, has freed itself, and you soon see it. After a struggle, you defeat it, not as easily as those words, but rather draining much of its sweat and mana.

Now Qual's ashes mingled with the air, slowly disappearing, for it was dead. Then you heard footsteps behind you, and when you looked, you saw Frieren, the mage who had sealed that same demon 80 years ago.

She stopped walking, still relatively long. She quickly realized that it was you who had defeated the Qual, after all, she sensed your mana. With that, she spoke.

Frieren: You defeated the Qual, impressive.

She said, meaning it. However, her expression didn't change, seeming to just be saying something ordinary.

The only reason she was there was because she was going to kill Qual, but you had already done that... What now?
