Even when twilight arrives and the darkness swallows all,

may the ever-twinkling stars in my heart burn like the morning sun!

Front breaking

Relying on Nama's info, we continued to seek the Hellmaster's Jar.

But instead, that hit-or-miss info led to us looking for a dulluhan's head

and Amelia winding up inside Nama!

Ugh! We need to find the jar soon! The story's going nowhere as it is!

"Quality time? A Home Life with Love?"

It's...

...coming!

Come on! Where the heck is it?!

We've followed your lead, but you've told us nothing but cock-and-bull stories!

But I've been trying so hard!

Do you think saying that'll get you off the hook?!

Results are all that matter! Results!

But... But...

Lina, that's probably enough.

Yes! It's not nice to blame her that much!

What's the deal?! It's like I'm the bad guy here!

You can't cry your way out of this! I hate that more than anything!

Now tell us where the jar really is already!

- Stop! - I know you know!

Please don't knock me around!

You better start remembering!

Quit with the rosy attitude! You say nothing but dumb crap!

- Start remembering! - It's been a long time, Mr. Gourry!

Umm... Who are you again?

Who... is she?

Umm... Oh!

She's Miss Mermaid!

It's me, Kuppi!

Yeah?

It's okay. Even if you've forgotten me, I'll help you remember!

- These are your children! - Daddy!

I missed you, Daddy!

- Daddy! Daddy! - U-Uhh...

Daddy! Daddy!

Huh?!

Daddy!

All right!

Wow! What a big fish!

Yeah, I had a big haul today!

Let's have grilled fish for supper!

Yay!

Come on, Yappi. Thank Daddy.

Okay! Wanna go gather some nuts in the forest?

- Yeah! - Okay!

- Back then! - Back then!

- Mr. Forest and I! - And I!

It's been a week since that shocking revelation...

It sounds like Mr. Gourry is a great father now.

He may have adjusted to his new circumstances surprisingly well.

But we're leaving to find the Hellmaster's Jar.

Is it okay not to bring him back?

Why not? The fact he hasn't come back means he likes where he is now.

There's no reason to drag him back to us.

Drop the act... we all know you miss him!

No, I don't! We can look for the Hellmaster's Jar on our own!

- No more screw-ups, got it?! - Y-Yes, I know!

Try not to forget it!

This roast beef is good!

Gimme some of yours, Gourry!

W-Well, we don't know what Kuppi is really up to.

So we have no choice! Let's go!

I'm going out to do some shopping.

Okay!

Gourry.

Lina! Everyone!

It's a bit cramped, but make yourselves at home!

Hey, Daddy! Are these friends of yours?

That's right! They're very dear friends!

- Here, Uppi! You should play in there! - Okay!

Whoops, we're out of sweets!

Hey, Yappi!

- Could you get some cookies for...? - Do it yourself.

Girls are a real handful...

- So what're you being a dad for?! - Come back to us already!

Let's look for the jar together!

Guys!

No, I'm sorry, but I can't.

Why not?

I'm those kids' father. I'm responsible for them!

Responsible? But you're not even their real dad...

The kids think of me as their dad!

Yappi's at a difficult age, so it's hard getting close to her,

but I'm sure that someday!

Well, I guess there's nothing we can do.

Despite his looks, he's actually quite stubborn.

It wouldn't be that easy to change his mind.

I'm going to stop journeying and live the honest life of a father here!

Fishing wasn't enough to support us, so I've started making swords!

That should bring in enough to support a family of four!

So I'm sorry, guys!

Mr. Gourry is so upstanding! It makes me cry

- Are you sure about this, Lina? - when I think about the dilemma he must face giving up his friends of many years

- Huh? Wh-Why are you asking me? - for the sake of his beloved family!

- It was his decision. - And I cry too

when I think about the fact that there's nobody to protect me from Ms. Lina's bullying anymore!

Oh, hello, Ms. Lina!

H-Hi...

Thank you for everything you did for my man during his journeys!

Thanks to you, he's settled down

and it looks like we'll somehow manage now, working together as a family!

O-Oh...

He's such a wonderful person!

He's a doting father, kind, and even removes my old scales!

Oh, he's such a sweetheart!

Oh! This is like a fight between two women who love the same man!

It's like a soap opera! How exciting!

I thought you were into heroic stuff?

Hero stuff is nice, but I love soap operas too!

Oh, I didn't know that!

When I was caught by that pirate ship, I thought my life was over!

But when I look back now, I'm really grateful for it

because that's how I met my man!

Thank you, Ms. Lina!

What are you up to?

Up to?

There are no ulterior motives in love! You're so silly, Ms. Lina!

Oh, look at me forgetting my manners!

Would you like to have some tea? I'm sure he'd love it!

No, thanks.

Oh, that's too bad. Feel free to visit again anytime!

Well, bye!

I think I'll laugh, too!

I dunno what's goin' on here, but it's making me mad!

I refuse to let that lousy fish have her way!

Sheesh, you're so indirect!

You should just say that you want to get Gourry back.

So, what exactly are we going to do?

Given how Gourry feels about them, it won't be that easy.

That's right, Ms. Lina! I read it in a novel once!

"Chasing a man makes him want to run away.

Running from him makes him want to chase you."

It's all about tactics!

Tactics? What're you talking about?

- She doesn't stand a chance, does she? - She is a rather late bloomer.

So what should we do?

Hey, there...

Could I ask you to hear me out?

He's my soul mate...

I'm certain that he's the only one

who can soothe my frayed, adolescent heart!

Kuppi and I loved each other dearly.

We were truly happy.

Times were tough,

but we always talked about our dream of making it big someday

and I tried my very hardest to earn money.

I did everything I possibly could!

She used her Miss Mermaid beauty to put a roof over our heads, too.

But then she left me...

Why did we break up? We were so happy together...

Your words and actions are exact opposites.

It's only natural that you broke up.

Umm, Mr. Toppi? Whose children are they?

I don't know. It sounds like they were born after she broke up with me.

- This is a graphic conversation... - Secrets involving their birth?! That's a soap opera staple!

She changed.

Ever since she was caught by pirates and made a hostage,

she began to hold a grudge against anything and everything...

Pirates? You don't mean?!

Huh?! l-I have nothing to do with this!

No. That could be the case.

To get revenge for Lina selling her off...

...she set Gourry up to be a father to take him away from her.

Makes sense! There are tons of people with grudges against her!

What's that supposed to mean?!

Please! I have to patch things up with Kuppi!

Please! Help me out!

All right, just keep your face away! You smell fishy!

I'd like to help him out somehow. Plus, there's Gourry to think of, too.

- It's time for carnage, Ms. Lina! - Huh?

We have no choice now but to storm Kuppi's house and settle things with her directly!

Two men and two women, face-to-face! An unfolding love-hate drama!

Oh, it's even more of a soap opera now!

- You're enjoying this, aren't you? - It's sopping with drama!

But that does sound like the quickest way.

Please do!

This is nonsense.

I'm sorry, but I have no interest in other people's love lives.

Do whatever you want. I'm going to look for the Hellmaster's Jar.

Aren't you?

- My soul mate! - Huh?

You're the only one for me!

Please take me away from this filthy world!

Am I missing something here?

Coming!

Toppi!

What are you supposed to say at times like this?

So what do you want?

I'm sorry about everything before.

I'll even take care of the children. So please give me another chance...

You have no shame! I'm amazed you could even suggest such a thing.

It's all over between us!

I'm living happily with him now!

So stay out of our business! Right, Mr. Gourry?

Y-Yeah...

- Is this what you really want?! - Huh?

You've journeyed with Ms. Lina all this time!

Can you really abandon her that easily?!

You love each other, don't you?!

People who love each other belong together!

N-No, I think that's stretching things a bit much!

Plus, Gourry's my guardian!

You man-stealer! You can't trick my man!

I'm not tricking him!

A loving couple that's been torn apart!

What a great scene!

- What do you think's gonna happen? - I'm going in now!

Huh?

You two aren't the only ones who love Mr. Gourry!

Huh?!

Mr. Gourry and I have a baby in here!

Huh?!

Get real!

Urgh! Why are you trying to complicate things?!

I wanted to participate, too!

Uppi! How long have you been there?!

I'll never trust filthy grownups ever again!

I'm gonna join the Sharks and be a hoodlum!

Huh?!

Uppi!

Zel! Why are you...?!

It just kind of turned out this way...

I'm leaving town with Zelly!

Huh?!

Is that true, Zel?!

Actually, I haven't agreed to anything at all...

Ouch! What was that for?!

You're ten years too young to elope with a man!

Like you're one to talk! You're always going from one man to another!

I'm going to do what I want, too!

You can't... It can never be...

After all, you two are...

You two are brother and sister!

Huh?!

- Is that true, Zel?! - U-Uhh... Is it?

- Then you're my kid too, Zel! - No, he's not!

That's... That's not fair! What a cruel fate!

Wait, Yappi!

- Let's go after her! - Right!

Mr. Pokota! Look out!

Runaway horse!

Mr. Pokota was in an accident!

Are you okay, Mr. Pokota?!

l-I should've known better... I didn't cast a spell in time... Kathunk.

Mr. Pokota!

Pokota?!

The shock of the accident's given me amnesia!

Why you?!

I have amnesia, too!

We know that.

Yappi! Hang in there!

Is something the matter?

She doesn't have long to live...

For years now she's suffered from an incurable sickness...

Huh?!

For me, there's no guarantee I'll live to see the next day...

So I had hoped I could at least burn my life away in the flames of love...

When I die, I want to die in your arms!

Please, Zelly! Be by my side!

Yo, yo, yo, dudes!

Uppi!

I'm a member of the Sharks now!

We eat small fries for breakfast! They're loaded with calcium!

- Uppi! - He seemed so pure, too. So why?!

I'm his father! I'll put an end to this!

Huh?! Wait, Gourry!

If Kuppi won't give me the time of day, then I have no reason to live!

I'm going to fillet Kuppi and then follow right after her!

Whoa! What are you thinking?!

Let go! I'm going to fillet Kuppi and then fillet myself!

- Stop it! - We can be sashimi together!

Oh, the end is coming...

At least prove your love to me before I go...

U-Uhh...

Rampaging dragon!

A rampaging dragon!

And the infamous soap opera element: the second accident!

Stop dressing like that!

Adults are all liars!

- Calm down! - Let go of me!

Things have gotten really lively!

Wh-What's that?!

It's coming! It's finally coming!

What is? What're you talking about?!

The great water blessing!

Our species rides this wave to return to the sea!

Huh?!

Come, let's return to the sea together!

No, Gourry! You're human!

- I won't let go! - Please let go!

Mr. Pokota! Please wake up!

- Let's go! - Oww! Oww! - In your dreams!

What was that for?!

Wake up, you fool! Humans and fish can't tie the knot!

What was that, anyway?

The "great water blessing"...

Does that mean they returned to the sea because they're fish?

Well, apparently once every ten years a tsunami comes to this town

to take the fishpeople away!

It also causes the fishpeople to behave weirdly just before it arrives!

So that's why? But if you knew that, you shoulda said so from the start!

I think revenge played a part, too.

Sheesh, what a troublemaking little!

I thought I would make a good father, too...

I think you were great, Gourry!

- Well, shall we go? - Yeah!

Nama! Get your act together! We're relying on you!

Right!

All right, it's about time for you to find the Hellmaster's Jar, Nama!

You know what steps I'm prepared to take, I hope!

Huh? Mr. Butterfly? What's that about?

On the next Slayers Evolution-R:

"Raider! Voice from the Darkness!"

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