A Woman's Heart Is Too Difficult! Stark's "Why Though?!" Resonates - Fern's Pouty Face and Their Dynamic in "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" Is Irresistible

When it comes to the anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," one of its charms is undoubtedly the interactions between the cold-shouldered Fern (CV: Kana Ichinose) and Stark (CV: Chiaki Kobayashi). In Episode 12, the heartwarming scene where Fern becomes displeased after treating Stark as a "pervert" is a delightful moment.

In Episode 12, Frieren (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki) fell asleep in the snowy mountains. Stark said, "It can't be helped. I'll carry her," and made a gesture of spreading both arms open in invitation, but for some reason Fern made a suspicious expression and refused, saying "I will carry her."

After that, Stark showed consideration saying, "You must be tired from carrying her all this time. Fern, let me take over," and spread both arms open once more. Then Fern puffed up her cheeks and simply replied "Pervert," leaving Stark confused by the difficult woman's heart, saying "Why though?!"

Viewers were excited about the exchange between Fern and Stark, commenting "Stark-sama is a pervert lol," "'Pervert' was the best," "Fern is so cold! Stark is a pervert lol," and "They're a great duo."
