Like a Fairy Tale Frieren and her party continue to travel north, and Frieren explains the Elven race has been declining since due to their long lives, they are too apathetic to even reproduce. They pass by another village with statues of her and her original party who celebrate "Liberation Day". Frieren recalls a memory where Himmel was adamant the party leave behind statues of themselves as reminders to Frieren that they actually existed and aren't simply fairy tales. Heading to another city, Frieren spots demons and tries to attack them, only to be arrested by the city guards for threatening peace envoys. Fern and Stark visit Frieren in the dungeon and reveal that one of the Demon Lord's lieutenants, Aura, has recently regained her power and has been waging war against the city for 28 years, leading both sides to open peace talks. However, Frieren warns from experience that demons are incapable of being reasoned with since they only learn human language as a way to deceive humans. Just as Frieren predicted, the demon peace envoy led by Lügner are simply there to trick the city into lowering its barrier so Aura can raze it with her army. However, one of his attendants, Draht, heads to the dungeon to assassinate Frieren, but she warns him that she is far more powerful than Aura.
