Where monsters rampage, I'm there to take them down!

Where treasure glitters, I'm there to claim it!

Where an enemy rises to face me, victory will be mine!

Trying to untangle all the mysteries going on...

... l, Lina Inverse, and my two friends are on our way to Sairaag.

Man, Vrumugun and his partner just wouldn't give up!

We took a detour to get away from our pursuers,

but that didn't really help.

Between getting attacked by golems in a cave,

going over a waterfall, and having Amelia taken hostage...

... it was pretty rough.

While I was finally able to get rid of Vrumugun with the Dragon Slave...

... it's still a long way to Sairaag.

Oh, well. Guess I have to live with it.

"OH NO! Lina's Wedding Rhapsody?"

Oh, I've had it!

Lina, you villain!

Allow us, the Three Heroes of Gondor, to defeat you!

No, thank you.

Wait, please!

We're on the side of justice!

We aren't villains!

Silence! Lina Inverse, fugitive from justice!

I, lyev, dark terror of my village, shall take your head!

Now, taste my deadly Jet Wave!

Yeah, whatever. Fireball!

If I was serious, you'd all be dead now.

But I figured I'd hold off and just teach you a lesson.

Sure doesn't look like it.

Uh... E-Excuse me...

Oh, another weirdo's showed up! If you don't wanna get hurt-

N-No! Wait! You see, I was watching before from behind a tree.

I wanted to ask you to use your skills for me!

I hate this person!

What's wrong, Amelia?!

It's not like he looks like a troll or anything.

What do you mean, a troll?!

- Stay away from us! - Shoo! Go away!

Do you two normally hate people this much?!

I have to do it?!

"O power of light and earth and wind."

"Break now this evil spell. Flow Break."

Huh? What was that?

You had a spell on you to repel girls.

Areally powerful one.

S-She put a spell like that on me?

You look like you're having some trouble.

Yes, I am.

My name is Hallas Ryzu.

I'm the only son of the Ryzu clan, the richest family around here.

A little rich boy, huh?

And now a sorceress is about to take over my home!

A sorceress?

Yes. A sorceress named Cally showed up one day...

...and said I had to marry her daughter!

Cally?!

What, you know this "Cally" person?

Cally the sorceress...

She's a real nasty character who gets her daughters married...

...to rich guys and then takes them for everything they have.

Looks like you've got a real winner after you.

But I hear she'd married off all nine of her daughters.

There's a tenth daughter.

You've gotta be kidding!

She used her magic to set herself up at my home...

...and tried to get me to marry her daughter.

And what happened?

I refused to do it, of course!

And then, one day, Cally made a deal with me.

A deal?

If I could get another girl to marry me in one week then she would leave me alone.

But, if I couldn't, I'd have to marry her daughter.

At which point she slapped a girl repellent spell on you.

I had no idea she'd done it.

I've been desperately wandering from town to town...

...looking for someone who'd marry me.

And it was impossible, right?

But, today, at last... I've found someone!

The one... The one... The one who'll marry me!

Huh? Who?

It's... It's...

Miss Lina, it's you!

You, Lina, who saw through Cally's spell and saved me...

...are the only girl I can ask!

Whoa, hold on there! I'm only 15 years old!

There's no way I'd be stupid enough to get married!

Not a real marriage! Just something for show!

I just want Cally and her daughter out of my home!

Let's go, Miss Lina!

For the sake of justice, you can get married once or twice!

You do it.

If you help me,

I'll reward you all with a carriage to carry you all the way to Sairaag.

I wouldn't mind that!

If we had a carriage we wouldn't have to worry about any more crazy "heroes."

What are you saying?!

It may be fake, but marriage is marriage.

An innocent maiden...

...can't just do that like it's nothing.

How about for a thousand gold pieces?

A... Athousand?

No, I'm-

Okay, two thousand.

T-Two thousand...

I'll even go as high as five thousand.

Oh, what the heck?! It's only one time!

Thank you so much!

Yay! Yay!

Jeez, a master businesswoman.

What happened?

That horrible Lina...

Lina?! Which way did she go?

That way...

There should be a post town that way...

Excellent.

Mother, I wonder if Hallas is coming back?

He won't run with his fortune still here.

He'll definitely come home tonight. All alone.

I'm home!

Well, that was fast, young master.

So, were you able to find someone to marry you?

Come in.

Im-Impossible!

This is my fiancée, Mina. Mina, say hello to everyone.

Hi there! I'm Mina!

I'm, like, so totally happy I was able to meet Hallas!

Lina, what are you doing?!

Something wrong? I'm trying to play the part.

Just play it straight, okay?!

Right.

Mother!

The spell I had on Hallas has been broken.

Who is this girl?

How do you do?

She repelled it! She's a sorceress, too!

She's good! If she catches me by surprise, I'll be in trouble!

And who are they?

I'm Mary, Miss Mina's handmaiden.

And I am her butler, G-

P- P- Pardon me! My name is Gagarin.

Where have I seen that face?

Yes, that's it! It has to be them!

The ceremony will be tomorrow morning on this estate!

Now keep your promise and leave!

All right, as you wish. If you'll excuse us.

It worked!

They didn't suspect a thing!

The wedding tomorrow will go off without a hitch!

I sure hope so!

That look Cally gave me...

She's not going to take this lying down.

Mother, are you sure about this?

Leave this to me.

Tomorrow's going to be fun.

Miss Lina, you're so pretty!

Oh, come on.

Are you really Lina?

What are you checking to make sure?!

Miss Lina! Marry me for real!

Your targets are Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev.

Capture them and you'll all get a huge bounty.

Is that clear?

So, what should we do?

They're in disguise.

When I'm inside I'll expose their identities

and then give the signal for you to capture them.

Gotcha.

I'll show her what happens when you cross Cally the sorceress!

Please, take this seriously!

Just remember we're pretending, okay? Pretending!

All right!

Okay? When Miss Cally gives the word, we rush in!

Right!

Who the hell are you?

Quite a show... What's all the excitement?

We're here to collect a bounty.

A bounty?! On who?!

So, the phoenix returns. You're just in time.

...and promise to love her for better or for worse, Hallas Ryzu?

l- I do!

And you, Mina Inerz?

I do.

Why isn't she trying anything?

Please place the rings on your fingers.

You may kiss.

Kiss?!

W-W-We'll save that for later.

Now, people, shouldn't we see the bride and groom kiss?

You're supposed to kiss after you exchange rings.

It's part of the ceremony.

That's when the marriage really begins.

Come along now! Do it!

K- K- Kiss him? I can't!

- Kiss him! Come on! - Let's see it!

Bad... This is really turning bad.

Miss Lina, please!

P- P- Please what?

Kiss me!

Oh, God, no!

Please! Just kiss me and we can settle this.

No, I... Look, uh...

One kiss and you get five thousand gold pieces.

F- F- F- F- Five!

Miss Lina!

I wonder if Miss Lina's really going to kiss him?

That depends on how forceful the groom is.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Kiss, kiss, kiss!

I won't be beaten!

Jeez, he's gonna do it!

Five thousand gold pieces! Five thousand! Five thousand!

No!!!

Thank you for such a wonderfully overdone farce...

Lina Inverse, you villain!

Did she say Lina Inverse?!

My cover's blown!

Everyone! This wedding is a fake!

Now then, men! Capture these criminals!

It's been a while, Lina Inverse! Gourry Gabriev!

That's...

Zangulus!

I challenge you!

Who's this guy?! He's ruining everything!

Things are really getting complicated now.

Fireball!

There's the signal! Charge!

It's been a while.

Vrumugun?! You mean you didn't die?

Die, Gourry!

Agh! Who are these guys now?!

There she is!

Mother, what'll we do?! This is going to-

Paula!

Everything's gone to hell!

I'll kill that little witch with my own bare hands!

Outta my way!

Flare Arrow!

Fireball!

This sucks.

Lina!

Damn! I can't do anything in a crowd this big!

You, you, you...

Lina's mine! Stay out of this!

No, I cannot.

Out of my way!

Get out of my way.

Not you...

As an ally of justice, I challenge you!

Let's go! Blam Blazer!

Freeze Arrow!

Just keep playing like that! The bounty's mine!

Elmekia Lance!

Too easy! Fireball!

Oh, they're wrecking my house!

- Hey, Hallas! - Yes?

I'm going to help Lina. Take care of these guys.

Huh? "These guys?"

Get going!

Wanna fight?

Oh, I can't run away like this!

You won't escape, Lina!

You're pretty persistent for an old lady!

Enough of your insults. Flare Arrow!

Oh, no!

Lina!

The Sword of Light! Gourry!

Hey there!

Gourry, take care of her! I'm not really decent right now.

Why are you so shy? It's not like you have any breasts!

What did you say, you-

Oops...

Help me!

Hey, get up! Fight me!

So, here you are.

You won't escape us now!

Kinda convenient, you all being here.

- Let's go! - Hold it! They're mine!

What?! We were after them way before you were!

I'll finish them.

First one wins!

- Flare Arrow! - Freeze Arrow!

They vanished!

The two spells cancelled each other out!

l- I don't believe this.

Miss Lina!

Thank you!

Now I can blast all four of them!

Wait, please!

Mega Brando!

Amelia, full speed ahead!

Right!

Damn! They escaped again!

He almost kissed you...

...but we didn't get any reward at all.

Well, your spell did blow up his house.

Serves you right!

But we saved Mr. Hallas from Cally's wicked scheme

as true allies of justice should. Right, Miss Lina?

Hey, Lina. Lina!

Five thousand gold pieces, gone!

Working to help people makes you feel so good!

Oh, who thought that one up?!

Besides the fact that Vrumugun's still alive...

... Sairaag's still so far away!

Huh? Amelia's the star?

And I'm... the dragon? What the heck?

Next time: "PASSION! Shall We Give Our Lives for the Stage?"

If you don't watch, I'll go berserk!
