The author wrote the furigana as “キズ(きず/Kizu/scar, wound),” but the kanji means “gunshot wound,” and in the manga she then says, “there’s no gun here, though.”
Fiona (The fact that he doesn’t call her ‘Yor Briar’ already makes this all sound like a front to me. But his feelings are correct. When he says it’s for his mission, I can’t refute that. You don’t play fair, Twilight.)
勘定（かんじょう/Kanjo）: calculation, counting, account, paying the bill
The English translation was wrong here because they mistook the word 勘定（かんじょう） as 感情（かんじょう/Feeling）. That’s no wonder, since those words have the same pronunciation, and I guess even many Japanese viewers misunderstood the same if they watched the episode without Japanese subtitle. So, the correct English translation is “But his/the calculation is correct.”
勘定 is a bit old-fashioned word for 計算（けいさん/Keisan/calculation） or 精算(せいさん/Seisan/settlement), and we sometimes say “お勘定お願いします（おかんじょうおねがいします/Okanjo onegai-shimasu）” when we finish eating at a restaurant and want to pay the bill.
Fiona “Fine. I will be content to accept this humiliation. But please hurry to the surface.”
甘んじて受け入れる（あまんじてうけいれる/Amanjite uke’ireru）: accept it reluctantly, be resigned to, settle for
ご褒美（ごほうび/Goho-bi）: reward, treat, prize
くつじょく（屈辱/Kutsujoku）: humiliation
Fiona always pretends that her love for Loid is not noticed by anyone around her, so she said “I accept this humiliation reluctantly,” but the author wrote the kanji “ご褒美(ごほうび/reward)” as her actual feeling and gave it the furigana as “くつじょく(Kutsujoku/humiliation).”
Fiona (Does this mean I have a chance at becoming the new wife in Operation Strix?!)
シン・〇〇（しん・〇〇/Shin・〇〇）: Since works such as Shin Godzilla and Shin Evangelion, by writing “シン” in katakana and adding proper nouns, the “シン” has taken on multiple meanings such as “新(しん/new),” “神(しん/God),” “真（しん/true, genuine）,” and so on.
Loid (I’m not sure if it’s just because my day was long, but it feels like I haven’t been home in forever. If we’d failed to stop Wheeler, I wouldn’t have been able to come back here. It’s a tightrope act just to keep the Forger family going. And that’s why I need to find out what is behind Yor’s incomprehensible grievances.)
生態（せいたい/Seitai）: ecology, habitat, behavior
生態 is a bit of an academic term. He doesn’t know what Yor feels in her daily life at all, so he said “ヨルさんの謎の生態（よるさんのなぞのせいたい/Yor’s mysterious ecology）” like an ecology of unknown animal.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
ヨル「ユーリ！？まぁっ、あなたまでどうしたの、そのケガ！？」
Yoru “Yūri!? Maa, anata’made do-shita’no, sono kega!?”
Yor “Yuri?! Wait, you’re hurt, too?! What happened?!”
〇〇まで（〇〇made）: too, also
We usually say 〇〇も（〇〇mo） for “〇〇, too” and “〇〇まで” has a stronger nuance than “〇〇も”. I can say “あなたまで” means like “even you, too.” But we have much stronger words such as “〇〇でさえも” and “〇〇ですらも” that are exactly “even 〇〇, too.”
Loid (I’m glad I disguised my arm just in case. He managed to spot that momentary awkwardness in my arm instantly. I can’t let my guard down around him. No, Twilight. This is exactly what you were just talking about. The moment anyone doubts me even a little, I lose. Pull yourself together!)
ほんの少(すこ)しでも疑念(ぎねん)を抱(いだ)かれた時点(じてん)で、スパイ(オレ)の負(ま)けなんだ: The author gave the furigana “オレ(Ore/I)” for the word “スパイ(Supai/spy),” so it actually means “The moment anyone doubts me even a little, I lose as a spy.”
Fiona “By ‘precious,’ you also mean ‘will obediently work to the bone for you.’”
（ ） is called “かっこ(Kakko).” When you intentionally speak with it, you can say “かっこ(Kakko)” for the first “（” and “かっこ閉じる(Kakko tojiru)” for the closing “）”, but the closing one is often omitted in speaking. So, if you speak this line without omitting it, you should say “かわいい…かっこ、じゅうじゅんできちょうなろうどうりょくだから、かっことじる、でしょう”.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Season 3 has ended. Although I’m a bit sad about it, I’m glad that it ended in a heartwarming way, just as I had expected. The original manga story hasn’t progressed that far yet, so the next season will be a long way off. Season 2 of Frieren starts next month, so I’ll be focusing on it. Have a happy new year, and see you again!
This was based on my own hearing, so not everything may be accurate!!! I tried my best. My apologies for there possibly being a few mistakes. If anyone here knows Japanese (as well), feel free to correct me!!!
I have to give huge thanks to the official account with the chorus part and this wonderful Japanese fan (for their own attempt of writing down the Japanese lyrics also based on their own hearing) though!!

Three Hundred Years of Longing / Unseen Immortal of Three Hundred Years (不见上仙三百年) Audio Drama Season 2 Theme Song - “Magpie Dream” 《鹊梦》(Hanzi/Pinyin/English) Lyrics & Translation
[DO NOT use or copy without permission!]
✲ Three Hundred Years of Longing (不见上仙三百年) Audio Drama Season 2 Theme Song
✲ 演唱 Singers: 裂天 & 陶星来
•Original work: Three Hundred Years of Longing《不见上仙三百年》by 木苏里 (Mu Suli)
Standing beneath the moon and flowers, watching the petals flew by
Drifting away, untethered to neither east nor west
Pre-chorus 1
Vaguely, I recalled our previous meeting
Heedless of the four seasons’ bloom and decay
Under the south window, year after year, listening to the spring breeze
Sweeping away the frost that layered my heart
Chorus
Amidst the fleeting light, for whom do I pray for the prosperity of heaven and earth?
For the sake of returning this gift of life and death
Across intertwining branches, how many shoal and profound bonds of fates have been exchanged?
I refuse to yield even until this heart is dead
In the vast, desolate night; I searched alone, with the chill seeping to the bones
Having you as my guiding light
With a single glance back–
The startled magpie leaves the branch–once again descending to the mundane world
Bringing a fleeting moment of light spring from afar
Verse 2
The people are like tides, and the lanterns like dragons [1]
The shadows of the bygone days from the past lingered densely
Whose grave is beneath the terrace of fallen flowers?
How many people are aware of the “cage”?
Pre-chorus 2
The sound of the ringing dream bells, gradually fading away until it leaves no trace
The unforgettable invitation of the shared cup of wine
Cause and effect, with the fate playing tricks on us
It does not matter; for this day, I will share it with you
Chorus:
Amidst the fleeting light, for whom do I pray for the prosperity of heaven and earth?
For the sake of returning this gift of life and death
Across intertwining branches, how many shoal and profound bonds of fates have been exchanged?
I refuse to yield even until this heart is dead
Bridge
In the vast, desolate night; searching alone, with the chill seeping to the bones
Having you as my guiding light
With a single glance back–
The startled magpie leaves the branch–once again descending to the mundane world
Bringing a fleeting moment of light spring from afar
Last Chorus
Amidst the scattering streams of light, we passed each other in a fleeting moment
Where does this longing take root?
Across the intertwining branches only to weave this sweet moment of dreams in vain
From this moment, I can comprehend your joys and sorrows
In the vast, desolate night, reunions and partings are nothing but the descent of the moon and the ascent of the sun
Finally, an old friend shall come to testify (come to testify)
With a single glance back–
Skipping past the fleeting sights and experience of the world
Holding hands with you, we shall reminisce three springs anew

Notes:
[1]: People like tide = massive crowds; lanterns like dragons = countless long and decorative lanterns, arranged in streets or in a procession → this is shaped like a dragon

第1話（通算第29話）『じゃあ行こうか（じゃあいこうか/Jaa, Iko-ka）』 / Episode 1 (Ep. 29 in total): “Shall We Go, Then?”
The phrases written in green were not in the original manga and were added in the anime. We Japanese anime fans call that アニオリパート（あにおりぱーと: anime-original part）.
Also, the phrases in orange are explained in my memo that will be posted later. (→Link here)
Coachman “Don’t mention it. It was most reassuring to have a first-class mage along. Anyway, you’re headed to Ende? To those of us who never travel far from home, that sounds like an unimaginably long journey.”
Frieren “It’s called a magic-nullifying crystal. It’s a mineral that neutralizes magical effects. A crystal of this purity has an effective radius of three meters. Stark, try stepping away a bit.”
Frieren “Before that, I want to show you an unusual property of this stone. It’s really interesting. When you imbue these stones with lots of mana… they glow really brightly.”
Fern “This cave complex is unbelievably vast. We found lots of animal bones, too. Ms. Frieren said this might be the den of a large monster. I’m amazed she can sleep so soundly.”
Fern “Ms. Frieren still seems to be having fun, even here. But it scares me too much. I can’t even detect mana. I’ve never experienced anything like this. It’s like I’ve been plunged into total darkness.”
シュタルク「…フェルン。」
Shutaruku “…Ferun.”
Stark “Fern…”
フェルン、シュタルク「ん…！？」
Ferun, Shutaruku “N…!?”
フェルン「…魔物(まもの)！！」
Ferun “…Mamono!!”
Fern “A monster!”
シュタルク「フリーレン、起(お)きろ！！逃(に)げ――」
Shutaruku “Furīren, okiro!! Nige――”
Stark “Frieren, wake up! Run―”
フリーレン「…毒極竜(どくごくりゅう)だね。」
Furīren “…Doku’goku’ryu-dane.”
Frieren “It’s a venomous apex dragon.”
シュタルク「毒(どく)…！」
Shutaruku “Doku…!”
Stark “Venomous?”
フリーレン「シュタルクとは相性(あいしょう)が悪(わる)い。また毒(どく)で死(し)ぬよ。」
Furīren “Shutaruku’towa aisho-ga warui. Mata doku’de shinu’yo.”
Frieren “It’s a bad matchup for you. You’ll die from poison again.”
Stark “I didn’t die the first time! But what are we supposed to do, then? I can’t believe you were sleeping so comfortably, either. How can you be so―”
Fern “Maybe it’s because they were gifts. I lost everything, including my home, to war. Perhaps I’m glad to gain more things that are important to me.”
フリーレン「頑張(がんば)って選(えら)んだ甲斐(かい)があったかな。」
Furīren “Ganbatte eranda kai’ga atta’kana.”
Frieren “It was worth the effort picking that out for you.”
Wirbel “I ended up traveling home by sea. The demons are acting up in the far north again. I have to rush back. I’m traveling with these guys to the imperial capital.”
エーレ「船酔(ふなよ)いが嫌(いや)だって、駄々(だだ)こねてるのよ。」
Ēre “Funa’yoi’ga iyadatte, dada koneteru’noyo.”
Ehre “He’s been whining about how much he hates being seasick.”
Wirbel “The situation in the far north has gotten pretty bad. There’s a severe shortage of front-liners. I can’t force you into it, but I’d like your support for two or three years until the front stabilizes.”
Stark “When I first met you guys, I was at the end of my rope. I was ready to abandon the village and run away. I suck, right? Frieren said she forced me to join the party, but that’s not what happened.”
Stark “Because you encouraged me that night, I wanted to travel with you and joined your party. You may not realize it, but Frieren isn’t the only one who dragged my cowardly butt this far. I’m not going anywhere.”
