So, I went back through this chapter a second time to see what foreshadowing I may have missed about the village chief, and there is the obvious entire panel they devoted to Frieren staring at his hand when they are shaking. But, there is also this panel in which Frieren is asking if he tends to the fields. I suspect this is her trying to figure out if his hardened hands might be due to fieldwork rather than "field"work. There are also a couple panels of Frieren keeping a close eye on him as they are doing their thing around the village.
I wonder if he played things off that he still worked the fields if Frieren might not have raised her guard so much as to post Stark on watch. Looking forward to the next chapter.
I may be reading a little too much into this but I feel like the Frieren was a bit wary of him from the beginning. This face reads to me less like her usual curiosity/nonchalance and more like she’s trying to figure him out:
I might also be thinking that because I’m checking the chapter again after learning about his secret so…
