People often joke that Fern is the party's mum, but let's be frank - all three are different mixes of maturity and childishness. (This was Fern's turn to be immature.)
And it's interesting that Frieren is immature in a different way than the other two. Stark and Fern don't have life experience, and it's kind of hard to control your impulses when you're a teen, you'll get angry and lazy and all of that. Frieren however knows when to be childish, and there's always some vague hint of bittersweet in this, almost as if saying "I know that I can be selfish here. Ultimately it doesn't matter".
This episode was also great to highlight the relationships formed by the first test. Let's hope that glasses-kun is wise enough to avoid this problem:
(Übel is literally "problem" in German.)
I give a lot of credit to the animation and voice acting they have done for Übel. She seems crazy to a whole depth that I didn't perceive in the manga. Like, yeah, she was a bit nuts in the manga...but seeing her animated and voiced I realize that I had underestimated her.
