Summary
"May I pass?”
“I will not stop you,” says the Keeper, but their voice rings like a warning, and Frieren waits patiently. The Keeper stares with their many eyes. “...But,” they finally say, “you will have to swim. Every second in the river will sap a decade from your lifespan. Beyond that, every step you take will bring the weight of mortality, and every breath will be poison in your mortal lungs. Past this bank is not made for the living.”
“I understand,” Frieren says. “But I am an elf, and a decade is nothing.”
///For Himmel, Frieren traverses beyond the bounds of life itself.

Summary
And people like you never find peace or a place to belong, Mickey said sympathetically - fake, how could she believe even for a moment that it wasn't fake - clicking his tongue. So what's so bad about this contract? No other place will be any better.
But it was, she thought, and self-loathing choked her before she could finish the thought. The place that was better. Because unlike the Hero Tower, her father's apartment, and the breaks between battles in the Hero Arena, this place had Xiao Yongshi.
Civilian personas of X and Queen end up in the same department. Only one of them is aware of the other's identity.

"Miss Juan?" Lin Ling tried to find the right words when her attention fell on him. "Could you send me that ad of Nice that was on TV the other day? Y'know-, To be Hero X." He gave the title a bit of bravado as he said it.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "Why? Do you miss being Nice already?"
"No! No, no," Lin Ling quickly denied, his shoulders rising. He noticed her lips tick up into a smile and he deflated. She was just teasing him. He continued, now less hesitant, "I just-, that clip. That was the last one I worked on, before… Before."
She looked at him with understanding - maybe pity. Miss Juan looked away. "I'll send it to you."
"…Thank you."
