Well, why don't you show me this so-called proposal?

Okay, I'll show you my proposal!

Here it is! This is the completed version of my proposal!

How do you like it?

What is that?

It's...

You jerk!

Momma, it's weird! It's strange!

Don't point!

But that weird thing is really weird.

But it's really, really strange!

You can't say so just because it's the truth!

She's right, kid.

If you pay attention to something like that, the weirdness will rub off on you.

That's right!

But it's strange!

Everybody knows it's strange.

Yes, he's right!

But you can't say it out loud because she might hear you.

Dragon Slave!

Dragon Slave!

Dragon Slave!

Mistress Lina?

Mistress Lina!

What do you think of it?

How do you...

How do you...

Your offer is

absolutely rejected and denied from the beginning!

Why? Didn't you say you would cooperate with my proposal?

This proposal is a completely different story!

The wings of a dragon, the neck of a sea serpent,

a blast demon's body and your head: the Super Chimera!

I'm sure you'll have more fun this way!

Even if you use a copy of me,

it would really bother me to see a Chimera walking around with my face!

Don't worry.

I'm going to use you, not a copy.

Is that so? Well, in that case...

That's even worse!

You snuck out by yourself while I was taking my beauty rest.

I guess you are plotting to steal someone's treasure,

but I won't let you do so, Lina Inverse!

So, you finally woke up, you perverted magic user.

Who are you calling a perverted magic user?

What's that?

Oh, well, I was asking her to cooperate with me to create a creature like this.

It's so cool!

I like your idea and I'm going to help you.

Wait! What are you thinking, Naga?!

You're still a little kid, aren't you, Lina?

You don't understand this design which is full of functional beauty.

Exactly!

Mono Bolt!

Followed by Black Occult Blast!

Explosion Array!

Hey, Lina.

We wasted it, didn't we?

Wasted what?

The plan to make you into a Chimera.

Excuse me Naga, but it was a month ago.

I'd finally started to forget that incident.

I won't let you forget it.

Listen, who was it that blasted me along with that old man?

It was an accident.

Are you Lina Inverse?

That's me all right.

I want you to come with us without asking any questions.

What are you going to do if I say no?

Do you mean to take me with you by force?

I guess that's what we'll do.

You're very brave to ignore me.

Who the hell are you?

Now!

Explosion Array!

Now, you're the only one left, aren't you?

Impossible!

I can't believe you'd involve your companion in the blast!

Naga will be fine, really.

Really, you say?

I hope you don't think you'll make it home unharmed after crossing me.

I guess I escaped from her somehow.

I guess I escaped from her somehow.

Hello?

Hi!

You're a ghost!

That's not a very polite thing to say.

I've just been following you from the air while you were running.

Well, let's see now.

Oh, no! That voice is...

They were pretty good, but they couldn't handle you, could they?

It's okay. Get out of here now!

Thank you very much!

Long time no see, Lina Inverse.

Just as I thought, you're that Chimera manic, old man Diol.

That's correct.

Haven't you learned your lesson yet?

Your strength is certainly what caught my eye.

However, with these guys it will be a different story!

You've raised some interesting points, haven't you?

What kind of technique did you use?

Are you familiar with "Copy Homonuclus"?

The making of a golem by mixing animal bones,

magical herbs and human blood, isn't it?

Exactly.

I've taken those methods one step further.

With Copy Homunculus for example, I made it easier.

I can create a golem using just a strand of hair or a finger nail.

Add to this the fact that you've been to my lab before.

It was not so difficult for me to find one of your hairs on the floor.

I see, I see.

Wait a second!

I guess he made ten copies of me.

However, even though he can make a copy with my abilities,

I don't think he can copy my memories, experiences or techniques.

That means they can't use my magic.

If you think using them will help you win, bring them on!

Well, I guess I will. Everybody!

What are these?!

Lina...

There's one missing.

I guess she caught him and forced him to buy her a meal.

Lina's so spoiled!

It's that laughing sound again.

Mom, I'm scared.

Scary, so scary!

Please, please, please, please...

Looking good, Lina Inverse.

She looks just like a little girl when she's sleeping like this.

Your band of thieves was ruined by that little girl, wasn't it?

Are you trying to be sarcastic?

Ah, no. What I meant was

I don't want you to be violent with her even though you harbor a grudge.

This girl, Lina Inverse, is necessary material for my project.

I know that. You've told me so again and again.

That's why I'm here.

And why you became my sponsor, right?

You've said that again and again, Lord Vista.

Anyway, Master Diol, let's move her to our base quickly,

so we can create the Chimera.

Well, why don't you slow down a little bit?

There are still a few other things I need to collect.

I see. I don't care what they are, just tell me what you need.

Okay, then I need you to get me

a brass demon, a red dragon, and a Serpent of the Deep.

One of each, please.

I wonder if you have any of the necessary materials at all?

Let me ask you something, young man.

Which is more difficult: capturing a dragon, a demon or Lina Inverse?

By the way, old man, what are you going to do with those others?

The only thing they can do is laugh loudly and give people headaches.

They eat and drink like horses. I can't say my meal tickets have been light.

That's all very well, but...

It was most embarrassing for me to order their outfits from the shop.

Have you seen this girl?

No, I haven't.

You've become even trickier and more elaborate, Lina Inverse.

However!

You're kidding yourself if you think this will confuse me!

She's started again!

Help me!

Please, please, please...

You where the one I heard laughing like a horse this evening.

Please leave now. You don't need to pay for anything.

A genius is always unappreciated in her own day.

Hey, Master Diol!

Why are you being so noisy?

Word just arrived that the woman called Naga has arrived in Midas,

and has been making inquiries.

I see.

I'll take care of it.

Long time no see, but I don't remember your name.

I'm Diol.

I'm sorry to call you out like this, but I can't return Lina Inverse to you.

You're wasting time if you think talking that way

will keep me away from your sweet deal!

I wonder if you're right or not?

All the materials for my Chimera will be ready shortly.

Then, the strongest Super Chimera ever will be born!

Don't make me laugh.

No matter what happens, I won't let Lina cut me out of a free meal.

I don't think they understand what they're talking about.

Neither of them seem to care though, do they?

I see. If you really want Lina Inverse back that badly,

you'll have to kill me first.

But you have to know it won't be easy!

Everybody!

How's that?

You're kidding yourself.

You ten copies over there!

Your laughing voices only copy the surface of my laugh.

Do you really think you can take over the world that way?

A supreme sense of superiority and extreme self-confidence!

My laugh can't be copied without these.

Since you don't have those qualities,

it will be over ten years before you can laugh like me.

I can't take it any longer!

Oh, my God!

What's the matter with you?

That woman, Naga,

she might be even more fearful than Lina Inverse!

What do you mean?

The copies I created, the copies of her, MY copies...

They lost against the real one?

No, no, no! No!

They became attached to her.

They became attached to her?

It's the whole group!

Demonic Crystal!

Finally, I have found you, Lina Inverse!

I can't believe you hired strange guys and tried to stop me

in order to keep the sweet deal to yourself!

However, if you think you can get rid of me that way, you're still a child.

Hey, you, you don't listen to me at all, do you?

You didn't think taking sleeping pills would make me give up, did you?

De-toxify!

Are you awake now, Lina?

Hey, Lina?

She's gone again. I guess she's not mentally strong enough.

I have no choice now.

Hey, you girls, why don't you hide your faces with your cloaks or something?

Lina! Hey, Lina!

Naga?

Naga?

What do you mean, "Naga"? You're not totally awake yet, are you?

Yeah, I had a strange dream or something.

It wasn't a dream.

I guess you're fully awake now.

I already know that you hired someone to stop me

in order to keep a sweet deal all to yourself.

Admit your guilt and let me share in the deal!

Excuse me, but what kind of nonsense are you spouting?

I was captured by a magic user and held here.

You know, old man Diol, the Chimera maniac?

Do you really think I'll believe such a stupid excuse?

It's not an excuse, it's true!

I fainted after seeing ten of you lined up together.

It's really nothing but an excuse.

There isn't a human alive who would faint because of something like that.

Damn, in this case...

Naga, that old man, Diol, tricked us and he's going to

eat delicious things while we fight.

I thought so.

Listen, Lina and I are going to chase the two of them.

Wait for us in Midas. Okay?

Say, won't the town be in a panic?

Don't worry. I'm sure they've been immunized by now.

We swam so far I guess we'll be okay. Right, Master Diol?

Damn.

What's the matter?

Lina, I left Lina Inverse back there.

We didn't have time to bring her with us, did we?

You're right.

However, even though she'll sleep for another half a day,

if they get together with Lina after she recovers,

it could cause serious trouble.

You're already in serious trouble.

Good morning, Master Diol. By the way, who are you?

I have no other choice now!

I'm Lord Vista, sponsor of this old man's Chimera Plan.

I was the leader of the brigand gang Boizun, which you ruined.

I had a beard at that time, so you might not recognize me.

That's why you tried to take revenge on me.

Isn't it?

Exactly.

Listen, don't even think that you can defeat me now.

Now that I'm serious, I will...

Explosion Array!

Damn, I can't believe there are young girls like her in this day and time.

She attacked us in the middle of your line!

What kind of girl doesn't have any morals or loveliness?!

Mega Brand!

Sorry!

I'm sorry. It's all our fault!

Well, let's take these two to the federal office and get the reward.

We can't leave such a crazy old man running around free.

I'll finally be able to eat delicious food, right?

By the way, Naga, why are those ten still with you?

It's obvious. It's my natural virtue.

I see, whatever you say.

Well, what are you going to do about them?

Just pay them no mind.

Excuse me, but...

Are you worrying about how much they'll cost us?

You're so narrow minded, Lina Inverse!

Somebody, please stop them.

I don't know what to decide to do, I picture empty skies in my dreams

Why do we fight?

Why do we get hurt?

The dream that I hold in my arms

Sometimes becomes heavy

Happiness is the ecstasy that everyone wants

They covet it and get it, but still want more

If you have a limitless desire

you can regain your footing

If you want happiness

The only thing you can do is to keep walking

Some sacrifices are impossible to discuss

Within a limitless desire

If you have passion and bravery

The only thing you can do is keep walking
