In episode 17 of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, the story continues from where it left off. Sein finds himself in a predicament, torn between following his best friend to Tur or continuing his journey with the Elfen Mage to Auberst.

Since Tur was in the opposite direction of Auberst, Sein had to make a decisive choice. With the late hour, Frieren advised Sein to delay the decision until the next day and rest at a rented cabin near the settlement.

The region was struck by a blizzard, preventing them from traveling until it passed. While staying at the cabin, Sein enjoyed quality time with the group and eventually questioned the Elven Mage about why she had been paying him so much attention.

Frieren noted that the priest had evoked memories of her own past before embarking on an adventure. Consequently, she was inclined to give him an opportunity. Ultimately, the day of decision arrived, and as anticipated, Sein opted to pursue Gorilla as he had initially intended.

He said his goodbyes but made a promise to reunite with them in the future. In the next part of the episode, Frieren, Stark, and Fern continued their journey towards the Auberst. However, Fern fell ill along the way. The group quickly rushed to her aid and fortunately stumbled upon a dwelling nestled deep in the mountains.

Frieren showcased her magical abilities to diagnose Fern's illness and determined that she needed to gather specific ingredients to create a cure. Recalling a previous adventure with Himmel, she remembered the location where the necessary items could be found.

Accompanied by the Elven Mage and Stark, Frieren embarked on a brief quest to locate the rare mushrooms that grew on the roots of an icicle Cherry blossom tree. Upon their return, she prepared the medicine and administered it to Fern, relieving her symptoms. With Fern feeling better, the group resumed their journey to Auberst, marking the end of the episode.
