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!

While on the road to Sairaag as unjustly accused fugitives...

... we happened to join some actors to get something to eat.

Problem was that Amelia was the star and the play was called

"The Death of the Abominable Fiend Lina Inverse"?!

How many times do I have to say that isn't true?!

Then Zangulus and his goons showed up to wreck the play.

Fine with me! I'm always ready for a fight!

And while we had to take some liberties with the script...

... the play was a big success...

... and we were soon headed for Sairaag again.

I wonder what else is waiting for us?

I kinda hope we can avoid trouble, but...

"QUESTION? He's Proposing to THAT Girl?!"

Fireball!

Okay, that makes ten groups of heroes you've bagged today!

Okay, and that's eleven.

Hear me, Lina Inverse!

Now you will pay for your evil! I, Codan, shall defeat you!

Number twelve for today. I wish they'd lay off.

They all seem to have the same schtick.

It is kinda repetitive.

Hey! Turn around and fight me!

Right, right. If that's what you want...

Diem Wing!

Day before last we had seven.

Yesterday we got ten.

If we go into Sandoria, we'll have forty or fifty to deal with.

We would have to come to Sandoria for a ship just when...

...every soldier of justice, hero, and bounty hunter

has come there to see if they can kill that sea dragon.

We could always cross the Mountains of Tears to get to Sairaag.

Cross the Mountains of Tears?!

We've got justice freaks, heroes, bounty hunters,

Zangulus, Vrumugun, and God knows who else after us...

...and you want to cross the ultra-steep Mountains of Tears, Gourry?!

- Uh, no. - I'm sure!

So quit bellyaching-

Fireball!

Ka-Pow!!

Okay, so we all agree that we have to get a ship from Sandoria.

But how do we do it?

Hurry, Zangulus.

I know! They'll have to cross the Mountains of Tears!

We'll wait for them and this time-

That was close!

I know how eager you are, but watch your step.

You... Your head!

Yeah!

He turned out even better than I expected.

Yeah! You really make a good lady, Mr. Gourry.

Playing with people like dolls...

What did I do to deserve this?!

Now for phase two. Eek!

A cockroach!

Why, that dirty little...

See? The heroes are after Lina Inverse the sorceress...

...and Gourry Gabriev the swordsman.

No one will suspect us in these getups, right?

We're just...

...three beautiful...

...and loving sisters!

Help me, please!

Anyway, just pay attention to how Amelia and I act and copy us.

Now, then, next on the agenda...

Mr. Gourry, no! Be more ladylike!

Huh? But she said to copy her.

Such a healthy appetite.

You're the girls looking for a ship to Sanboa?

Our dear mother is ill and we're on our way back to our homeland...

...but this dragon panic is keeping us here!

Your mama, huh? That's too bad.

I've been so worried. I can't even eat!

Sis, you shouldn't eat so much!

Quit passing the blame!

But the sea dragon's been attacking ships one after another...

...so until one of those heroes slays it...

...there aren't any ships setting sail.

Not even one?

Well, if there were a really strong hero on board...

...to kill the dragon, that would be a different story.

Then allow me to be that hero!

You're cute.

So, starting with the youngest girl...

...they're Lulu, Lili, and Lala.

These names maybe a little too corny.

You think so?

So, your name is Lala?

Huh? Uh, yes!

That's right!

Why do I have to do this? I'll get you for this, Lina!

Well, it's fortunate you ran into me, the great Volun!

I'm sure you've heard of the great hero Volun.

Nope.

Slayer of villains and monsters without number...

...the hero Volun, whose name resounds throughout the heavens...

...is I!

Ever heard of him?

No.

Me neither.

You know how the Dark Lord Shabranigdo was recently reborn?

Well, the one who killed Shabranigdo...

...happened to be me!

Yeah, I was real surprised when I found out the monster I killed was Shabranigdo!

- You big, lying pile of- - Calm down, Lina!

In any case...

For you, Miss Lala, I shall battle the sea dragon...

...and see you all safely to Sanboa!

Oh, uh, thank you...

Then I'll go and arrange a ship for us at once!

For me? What's he mean?

- Ooh, he's so slow! - Ooh, he's so slow!

Mr. Gourry, you really don't understand?

Nope.

It means the great hero Volun has a little crush on you.

Oh. I see!

- I'm outta here! - No, you don't!

If Mr. Volun changes his mind, it'll ruin everything.

Let's go, Lili!

Right, Lulu!

I refuse! I absolutely refuse!

It's for the cause of justice, so deal with it!

Where is there justice?!

Well, it's around here somewhere!

Your sacrifice won't be in vain, so shut up!

Right! Raise the sails!

Fear not the sea dragon! I'll slay it with one blow!

Are you sure about this?

Leave it to me!

There's no dragon alive that I cannot slay!

But what'll we do if the sea dragon really shows up, Miss Lina?

Huh? Uh, well...

I suppose you haven't even thought about it.

Exactly!

But if we don't know if it'll show or not, no use worrying about it.

I guess so.

This is the girliest looking room I've ever seen.

Is this your room, Mr. Gourry?

It's my room.

Yeah, it's my room!

Hey, Gourry! Try this one on!

Cut it out!

- For Pete's sake... - Oh, I see!

You prefer a more boyish style?

No, that's not the problem! I'm a-

Enough already! We're on the ship!

Even if he knows the truth...

I think he's saying it's okay if we tell him.

He's such a wimp. No way!

We've got a long trip! If you tell him...

Uh, Miss Lala?

You aren't drinking. Please.

Oh, no, I'm...

Wha- What's wrong, Miss Lala?

Nothing. I just feel...

Good grief! I'll get you to your cabin!

No, I just...

Sorry about that.

Oh, no. I was just feeling a little hot.

Staying out of my cabin makes me feel a lot better!

Oh, I agree! I much prefer being outdoors.

The touch of the wind feels so...

Agh! I'm sorry! I didn't see anything! Anything at all!

- Miss Lala! - Yes?!

There's something I wanted to ask you once we left port.

Will you be my bride?!

My bride.

My bride!

My bride!!!

It's love at first sight.

We could have the wedding here on the ship!

- We'll get your sisters' blessing, - Congratulations! Congratulations!

- have the captain do the ceremony, - Congratulations! Congratulations!

- exchange rings... and then... and then! - Congratulations! Congratulations!

Darling!

Your lunch!

Stop it!!!

You don't have to say yes now! Give me your answer tomorrow!

Congratulations, sis!

She's decided to get married at last!

I'll miss her, Sis.

Boo- hoo- hoo- hoo!

Lina... Amelia...

Okay, bad joke.

But Volun seems serious about this.

How can you be so calm?

Okay, all we can do...

All we can do is?

Give up and have you marry Volun!

Hey!

But if anything happens to Volun they might turn this boat around!

So let's make this the best wedding ever!

- Ooh, how romantic! - Ooh, how romantic!

Huh?

Gourry, wait! Don't be rash!

Leggo! I'll swim back if I have to!

If you jump in here, the sea dragon'll eat you!

I'd prefer being eaten by a dragon to having to marry another guy!

The sea dragon!

Wow, it really came.

I wasn't trying to call it.

- What's the deal?! - Weird dragon.

So, you've appeared, sea dragon?

I, the great hero Volun...

...shall show you my mighty heaven-sent power!

Miss Lala! Watch this!

He's not a bad guy, but...

Prepare to die!

I have slain the sea dragon! Did you see that, Miss Lala?

Behind you! Behind you!

Hmpf! Fool! You think you can attack the great Volun?!

Sheesh, he saw it and still got clobbered.

I knew he was a braggart, but not that big a braggart.

You idiot! You think that's gonna convince me to marry you?!

Lina, that girly-looking dragon...

- It's a guy. - What were you looking at down there?

Look, it's pissed.

Lina, why couldn't we have flown to Sanboa in the first place?

Get real! Levitation takes a lot out of me!

Amelia, drop hero- boy and give me a hand!

I was thinking of that, but if I did...

...I'd be breaking the Code of Justice!

Oh, you can be such a pain!

Uh-oh, if we go back to Sandoria like this...

Dark Mist!

They'll never recognize us! Good one, Amelia!

Uh, Lina, I don't think we can just sit this one out.

Yeah, I figured you'd say that.

Oh, well. Guess we have no choice.

I don't like to fight for no reward...

...but in this case...

...let's cut loose!

All right!

Time to vent all my frustrations!

I'm free!

He just busted right out.

Must've been really hard on him.

Flare Arrow!

Elmekia Lance!

Man, that thing's got tough hide!

Talk about being thick- skinned!

What the heck is with this thing?!

It's worth a try... Lina, get me up to its face!

Gotcha!

Ray Wing!

Curse you, dragon! I, the great hero Volun, will slay you-

Okay, Lina! Zap the sword with a spell!

Huh? Can you be a little more specific?

Anything, as long as it involves zapping!

Hmm, something that'll hurt it...

Never mind, just hurry!

All right, already.

"Source of all power..."

"Wind which sweeps across sky and earth!"

"Gather in my hand and give me strength!"

Digger Bolt!

What the?

It ran just because of that?

Hah! Just as I thought!

Oh, so that's why you went after its face.

Yeah, it was obvious it was gay.

I figured scarring its face would sap its will to fight.

I see. Good call, Gourry!

Oh, well...

Takes one to know one!

I'm not gay!

By the way, what happened to Mr. Volun?

Huh? Wasn't he with you?

I haven't seen him since the powder bag fell on him.

Thank goodness!

I guess we won't be seeing him again!

They must've loaded him on at the dock!

Miss Lala! Miss Lala-a-a!

Look at me! I'm a guy!

It can't be!

Where has my Lala gone?

You look enough like her that I don't care if you're a man!

- Wait for me! - No, hold it! No!!!

Looks like Gourry's troubles on this voyage will continue.

But we're almost at Sairaag.

Still, who knows what else may happen.

They're not coming!

Just wait, Zangulus.

Damn it all... They're not coming!

Damn it all!!!

We finally arrived in Sairagg!

The only thing left to do is to go for it!

What is it with you people?

Next time: "RETURN! The Red Priest is Back!"

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