Before me, there stand no adversaries!

Behind me, there are mountains of treasure!

I'm dignified and arrogant!

Race forward forever and ever!

Upon our visit to Pokota's hometown of Taforashia,

Pokota mentioned, of all things, the name of Red Priest Rezo!

To top it off, we ran into the Zanaffar Armor-wearing Duclis,

some lady named Gioconda, and even Xellos!

Come on, now! Things are starting to look ugly if you ask me!

"Fall On - Strange Festival! Bizarre Festival? Push that Ball Up!"

Please leave it to us.

- I, Sorcerer Flan... - And I, Zollan...

...shall steal... ...the Sword of Light for you!

You may depend on us!

I'm counting on you.

- Yes, sir! - We will go at once!

Ack!

Why, you!

Well, I guess they'll buy us enough time until Zuuma gets started.

Hey, you! Get back here, you puny animal!

In your dreams! Blehh!

Get back here, I say!

Where'd he go?!

It looks like we've lost him...

That little freak, eating the beef jerky I was looking forward to!

That Pokota is really gutsy, stealing food from you...

"Unaware" is more like it.

Umm, what are you going to do about Mr. Pokota, Ms. Lina?

Teeter and totter and rock and roll him, of course!

No, I meant about Taforashia and such...

Yeah, it looks like I'm not an innocent bystander

when it comes to Pokota's hometown.

Because it was you who defeated Rezo, after he placed that seal.

And there was the Zanaffar incident as well.

I somehow wound up in a heap of trouble again, that's for sure.

W-What was that?

This village is a bit odd.

Why are there so many balls everywhere?

Could this be Rolly-Rolly Village?!

Rolly-Rolly Village? Are you serious?

My dad used to talk

about a village that had lots of things made out of balls!

There sure are some strange villages in this world.

Well, anyway, let's go find that Pokota!

Excuse me. Might you be...

I'm stuffed! Thanks for the food!

That was our first real meal in a while.

Thanks, old man!

Oh, it was nothing.

Those talismans, your appearances...

I believe you folks are quite powerful sorcerers. Am I correct?

Oh, you're so perceptive, old man!

Indeed, I am Lina Inverse, the genius and beautiful sorceress

and the #1 most desired girl to have as a bride!

Hold on! What's the big idea?!

Please don't think ill of me.

But I can't let the other settlements have you.

What are you talking about?

Actually, I want you to help with this village's Rolly-Rolly Festival.

Rolly-Rolly Festival? Talk about a blah name...

Once a year, we offer a ball to Rolly-Rolly Mountain.

To make a long story short, we haul giant balls up the mountain.

Do you mean the mountain with the pyramid on the summit?

I knew this was a weird village.

But festivals are usually for citizens only.

Why are you asking us outsiders for help?

Golems usually carry the Rolly-Rolly Festival balls,

but Rolly-Rolly Village itself is becoming alienated from sorcery.

- Becoming alienated from sorcery? - Yes.

I'm guessing there's some reason for that.

This Rolly-Rolly Festival first started when the village came together

and offered a ball to Rolly-Rolly Mountain

to pray for an abundant harvest of crops.

However...

...these people become a privileged class,

and as their status in town increased, their arrogance became a problem

and civil strife eventually resulted!

- Just because of some ball-rolling? - Ms. Lina!

The fighting split Rolly-Rolly Village into three settlements:

Rol Village, Lyrol Village, and Ly Village.

And now representatives of each settlement compete to roll a ball up,

and each side is hell-bent on stopping the others!

One time, the guy from Lyrol Village drew graffiti on our ball...

...so I soundly responded in kind!

When Ly Village covered our ball in spikes...

...I went and filled their ball with countless holes!

Eventually, we all started setting traps on Rolly-Rolly Mountain, even.

Because of the danger, we've started using golems

and sorcerers who can control them.

Sounds like lots of trouble for sorcerers who get dragged into it...

Please! Please participate in the Rolly-Rolly Festival!

As the chief of Rol Village, I absolutely can't let the other two win!

Maybe so, but...

I'll pay any price! I'll even prepare as much food as you want!

- We'll do it! - That was fast!

Oh, thank you, thank you!

Just leave it to us!

But what about Mr. Pokota?

Leave it to me!

I, the great and gifted sorcerer Pokota, will win this thing for you!

Oh! You're so reliable! Lyrol Village is in good hands now!

In exchange, don't forget about my huge reward and meals!

Of course not!

Of course I won't! Of course not, of course not! Oh, how dependable!

What now, Bro?

We can use this to our advantage!

We can steal the Sword of Light while he's focused on the festival!

You're so smart, Bro!

I am a meager sorcerer myself.

Let's go and sell our services to the head of Ly Village.

I made all of these balls myself.

Regular ol' craftsmen have nothing on me!

Each year, the balls we offer grow in size,

and you're disqualified if your ball breaks,

so I pour my soul into making them!

Oh? I don't really get it, but this is impressive.

Keep your filthy hands off my Sophie!

Cheapskate!

Your rock has a name?

It's custom to give the balls women's names.

The offering balls are the villagers' treasures.

Dad!

It says something about five victories in a row!

What does this mean?

M-Might you be the daughter of Mr. Philionel,

the Legendary Ball-Rolling King?!

Legendary Ball-Rolling King?!

Yes. It was before we began using golems for the festival.

He hauled balls up all alone and offered them to the mountain!

With no one able to match his heroicness, he won five times in a row,

and a little after that, he won another three in a row!

His rolling was a true sight to behold!

To this day, he's a Rolly-Rolly Village legend!

Mr. Phil really is a badass!

Your dad is a rolling king?

Y-You're really amazing, Dad.

When compared to you, I'm just a newborn doe...

Dad! I'm going to do my best to achieve victory,

to get even just a little closer to your greatness!

Oh! That's the spirit!

Excellent!

Now that that's decided, I'll put my utmost into this

to create the greatest ball ever made!

Its name will be... Let's see...

It'll be Barbara! Barbara!

He's named it already?

Ms. Lina! Let's try our hardest to win with Barbara!

You sure adapt fast, you know that?

But alright!

I, Lina Inverse, the gifted and lovely maiden,

will make a wonderful golem worthy of Barbara!

Vu Vraimer!

This is the gifted and lovely maiden's...

...dung beetle golem?

How exactly is she a maiden?

What're you talking about?!

This is the most efficient form for rolling a ball!

I can't believe my Barbara is going to be rolled by this dung beetle...

Stop crying! You want to win, don't you?

I see the head of Rol Village has as poor taste as ever!

Pokota! You're gonna pay for that beef jerky!

Ms. Lina! Heel!

Isn't it against the rules to put the ball inside the golem?

- There's no rule that says that! - That's right!

If you don't like it, then why not quit with your dung beetle

and switch to a ball golem instead?

Like anyone'd want to copy your shallow tricks!

Yeah! We're gonna settle the beef jerky score once and for all now!

There doesn't seem to be room for us...

Bro! Should we have chosen something flashier instead?

Don't be stupid! We're here to get the Sword of Light!

Oh, right!

Okay! Everyone on your marks!

Start!

What an odd image this is.

When it comes to pushing a ball, dung beetles are the way to go!

Barbara is rolling beautifully, as well!

Isn't she, though?!

Something's coming!

A trap!

Awaken!

Are we bland after all, Bro?

Yes.

Alright!

Amelia!

Right! Lighting!

Oww!

- It hurts, it hurts! - What is this?!

Damu Bras!

- Nice, Zel! - Keep pushing forward!

Damu Bras! Damu Bras! Damu Bras!

Come, light!

Bro!

It's not my fault! I have my hands full controlling him with magic!

Just do your best to endure it!

Right! Ouch!

Stand up, one and all!

This is a festival! Now is the time to raise your spirits!

Rolly-rolly! Rolly-rolly!

Rolly-rolly! Rolly-rolly! Rolly-rolly!

Welcome to the Battle Stage, festival warriors of ours!

Battle Stage?

A holy stage on which golems use the balls to fight each other!

The combatants will battle until the others' balls have broken,

and only the last team standing will be allowed to offer its ball!

Now, warriors! Come forth!

Looks like we're gonna have to fight.

Victory is as good as mine!

All right!

Bro! What about the Sword of Light?

Don't be stupid! This is no time for that!

Now let's win this thing!

Y-Yeah!

Fight!

Sorry, but you're goners!

Back up!

- Lina! Keep pushing! - Will do!

- You're good! - Likewise!

Here I come!

- That's it, Barbara! - Come on, Elena!

Which one will win this year?

We're the best, of course!

No, we are!

Don't you dare forget about us!

You cheating losers have nothing on me!

What?!

I know all about your guys' attempts to bribe the old priestess!

Who told you that?!

You're the one who every single night...

Only because you won't stop ogling her all the time! She's mine!

I love you, old hag!

Why, you! Of all the times! That's not fair!

I love you even more, hag! Hag! Hag!

I love you 100 times more!

In your dreams!

Now pay attention to that instead!

Sorry, but it's time to go, small fries!

- Bro! - Protect the ball!

This thing's heavy!

It couldn't be helped! It had to be heavy to roll that ball!

Are dung beetles unable to get up on their own?

How should I know?!

Ms. Lina! He's coming this way!

You guys're next!

You lose!

What?!

The blue ball broke!

Catherine!

Just before the end,

the golem threw the yellow ball with all its might for us...

B-Bro!

- That means we win, huh?! - Oh, yeah!

- We did it! Hurray! - We did it! We did it!

Elena!

The blue and yellow balls are broken, and all the golems are gone!

So only the red ball is left...

But now what do we do? Is the festival canceled?

Absolutely not!

A terrible curse will fall upon us

if we don't offer a ball before sundown!

Still, how do we get it up there? Can I use a spell?

Who knows what kind of curse that would bring!

Then let's all carry it up!

- I refuse to help Rol Village! - Same here!

And I don't want their help!

Then you don't want to offer a ball after all?

- W-Well... - W-We do, but...

It doesn't really matter to me either way,

but your main goal is to offer a ball, right?

In which case, I don't think this is the time to worry about stupid pride.

That's right! There's no point in fighting!

These girls are absolutely right!

Let us all work together to offer the ball!

Rolly-rolly!

Rolly-rolly! Rolly-rolly!

Rolly-rolly!

The nonsense has reached its apex here.

Rolly-rolly!

- Gourry! - Alright! Here we go!

Here!

- Never mind the posing... - Right!

Barbara!

What a wonderful offering!

We may have been wrong in our ways!

All this time, our own greed blinded us

and made us forget the festival's true purpose!

- From now on... ...we'll abandon our greed...

...so the hag can belong to everyone!

I don't belong to anyone.

But I suppose it's all right for today.

Yahoo!

B-Bro!

Don't be stupid! Quit your crying!

Now, then! Let's all keep this festival in safe hands from now on!

- The balls! - Amelia! What are you doing?!

- I was just... - Just run!

Why did this happen?! Is it the curse?!

- It's the curse! - The curse!

The curse!

What an end!

Owari wa shinai It's not going to end

Harewataru sora kara ochiru tooriame From the completely clear sky comes a brief shower

Nagarete yuku kumo ni oitsukenakutte I'm unable to keep up with the flowing clouds

Tabidachi no saki ni wa atarashii deai At the end of my journey awaits a new encounter

Demo nagasareteru you de ochitsukanakutte But I can't stay calm and relax; I feel like I'm being swept away

Sore demo kono shunkan ni subete ga owaru wake ja nai Even so, it's not as if everything is going to end this very instant

Sou desho Isn't that right?

Akireru hodo nayaminuite Right now I don't need any answers

Denai kotae ima wa iranai that can't be found even after an apalling amount of agonizing

Hora, hontou wa akiramete inai But look, I haven't actually given up yet

Mada, mada ikou Let's keep on going

Owari wa shinai It's not going to end

Issho ni ikou Let's go together

Kakugo kimete ne Make sure you're ready

The occasional trip on a posh cruise ship is nice!

But this isn't quite right! Who's trying to kill me?!

On the next Slayers Revolution:

"Gorgeous - The Targeted Luxury Liner!?"

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