At the end of volume 11, Frieren does what she does best and got her self into some trouble by touching things. The ramifications are volume 12, where she is stuck 80 years in the past with her former adventuring party!

Penelope is inches away from getting Eckles to 100% affection and completing her plan to escape, and it can't come fast enough. She is days away from her coming-of-age ceremony when the true daughter, Ivonne, is supposed to return. After the events on the island of Soleil that entangled Penelope and Callisto and caused her to embrace powerful magical abilities, Penelope reluctantly accepts an invitation to the crown prince's birthday celebration and a rumor-filled dance that sparks outrage from her family. Callisto extends an invitation to formally court Penelope, throwing a wrench in all of her carefully laid plans. Could Callisto's red and locked affection meter have a different meaning than Eckles' grey yet nearly full? As the fateful date approaches, Penelope suffers what seems to be the ultimate betrayal as the game's events are changed and her plans are put into jeopardy!

Navier does an interview with a local journalist, and she includes a tidbit about overhearing part of Soveishu’s plan to divorce her.
