Frieren and Denken square off against their respective opponents: Frieren against Solitär and Denken against Macht, as Frieren finishes analyzing the diagoldze curse that Macht put on Weise. There is a fierce battle between the four opponents, but mostly Solitär annoys Frieren by talking too much and showing stalling as her main battle tactic. Denken uses Frieren's logic that Zoltraak is a fairly new spell in Macht's lifetime, and it seems to be working, to a degree. After the fights, it's back on the road to the North, and Frieren continues to pick up odd jobs for different small villages along the way in exchange for interesting grimoires.

Humans have all but destroyed the world and now live in hiding. Creatures across the world hunt and eat humans as tasty treats. One day, a guardian forest spirit, himself towards the end of his life, discovers a human child alone in the woods bound and abandoned. Moved to kindness, the guardian golem determines to bring the poor creature to other humans, rather than leave it to the ravenous others lurking in the woods. Somali is filled with wonder and a passion for tasting lots of dishes that amuses the forest spirit and brings out a defensiveness they didn't know they had, and the two venture forth through the wild world in search of Somali's people.
