I feel like this story is going to be about history repeating itself, the elf is gonna adventure with the kid only for the kid to grow old and die before her. Just a theory. I like it so far.
Dang this is a good story. I'm sure Frieren was almost sad to kill one of the few creatures that had been alive back in her day, they're getting to be a rare breed in the mortal realm.
now I know for a fact that Himmel was in love with Freiren but he never expressed his true feelings because he knew of their difference in lifespans and he didn't want her fall in love with him and feel empty after his death.
