A Shocking Confession: "Don't Abandon Me~ (Tears)"! Fern's Perfectly Chilling "Look of Contempt" is a Must-See in 'Frieren: Beyond Journey's End'

The warrior Stark (CV: Chiaki Kobayashi)'s "unexpected true nature" is revealed, even leaving the usually composed Fern (CV: Kana Ichinose) utterly disgusted...!? Episode 5 of the anime 'Frieren: Beyond Journey's End' drew laughs for the scene where Fern directs a cold, scornful gaze at Stark.

In Episode 5, Frieren (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki) and Fern approached Stark, who is celebrated as the village hero, asking him to help them defeat the Red Mirror Dragon. However, Stark seemed strangely unenthusiastic, asking, "Does it really have to be me?" The moment Frieren asked him, "Do you have any combat experience with demons?" his dignified attitude instantly crumbled, and Stark confessed, "It's zero! Please help me, Frieren~!"

Stark is said to have driven away the Red Mirror Dragon after a standoff, but in reality, he was "just too scared to move an inch." He tearfully pleaded with Frieren, "Please don't tell anyone~." Seeing his pitiful state, Fern cut him off decisively, saying, "Frieren-sama, this one is no good. Let's look elsewhere." Stark continued to whine tearfully, "Don't abandon me~."
