Even when twilight arrives and the darkness swallows all,

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

Are you insane, Dad?! Your life is in danger as we speak!

You can easily send someone else to buy merchandise!

I always see the merchandise with my own eyes.

I have no intention of changing that method.

Walking around town is too dangerous, much less going on a trip.

That's why you'll be accompanying me as bodyguards.

This is part of our contract. You cannot complain.

Contract this, contract that!

All right.

Ms. Lina?

Ozzel, make preparations.

As you wish.

Is this really a good idea? He might as well ask to be attacked!

- That's exactly it. - Huh?

Basically, he can't endure the idea of someone targeting him anymore.

I see. He's making himself an easy target so we can end this once and for all.

But that would put him in danger, too!

Not if someone else's life is in more immediate danger...

Lina!

- Does he mean you, Ms. Lina?! - Yup.

But how can you willingly do that?

I can't put up with this much longer either.

The fact my life is in danger aside,

I refuse to let those two keep hating on me like they're my in-laws!

But if you got beaten, he'd be next!

He probably figures that's where you guys come in.

If by some chance Zuuma were to do me in, what would you guys do?

What would we do? Have a funeral, right?

I don't really want to think about it,

but from a risk management standpoint

we'd need to hold a purification ritual

to make sure you don't come back from the dead...

And then place a heavy boulder on the grave

and affix an expensive charm to keep you firmly sealed away.

I'm no evil spirit!

Could you guys be any more heartless?!

Wouldn't you want to avenge my death?!

Not really...

If I get done in, then it'll be you guys' job, whether you like it or not,

to step in and wait by Radock's side for Zuuma to strike!

So that's why the old guy is convinced he isn't in much danger...

Yep.

Well, I'm Mr. Radock's bodyguard, so I'll ride with him in here!

You guys get that one!

- Huh?! - Why do only you get to?!

What?! If you got a problem, take it up with Radock!

It's all right. You'll just wind up suffering plenty of nasty comments in there.

That's true! In that case, let's take it nice and easy in this wagon!

Yeah!

- Crap! I forgot! - What are you doing? We leave at once.

Sure, right away!

Wait, Dad.

Abel, I told you I've made up my mind.

I didn't come to stop you.

I thought I might accompany you, too.

- What? - Huh?

Someday I'm going to inherit your business.

So I want to see how you do things.

But...

Surely you can't have any objections to that.

Do as you will.

Yikes...

Looks like more nastiness is on board.

We got it easy!

You're with me!

Don't drag me into this!

"Uncover The Exposed Darkness!"

Don't sing songs like that!

Until now, I never once thought about going on a trip like this with you,

even though we're family.

It has been a long time since I've traveled with anyone else.

That's because you always left alone and returned alone.

Th-The feeling in the air... is heavy...

Whoa.

Are you sure we should stop here?

We need to let the horses rest too.

Yup.

We'll be with Mr. Radock, so you take the perimeter.

Yeah.

Normally, I enjoy admiring the scenery like this on my trips.

I guess it's hard when your life is in danger, huh?

Yes.

Why exactly are you being targeted?

Conduct business long enough and you're bound to irk someone.

Is that also why Mom died?

Abel.

Yes, this may be a good time to tell you about your mother's death.

It was when my father, your grandfather, was still head of the family.

He was known as a ruthless merchant,

and to be honest, was probably involved in shady activities.

As a result, he stirred up hatred and jealousy far and wide.

And it was your mother and I who were targeted.

We were attacked by bandits during a business deal...

When I came to, we were trapped in a dungeon somewhere,

and it was from those injuries that she...

Until my father finally paid the ransom money,

the only thing I could do was stare at your mother's lifeless body.

That's!

One of the bandits told me that I should blame my family, if anyone.

Then someone hired the bandits?!

And you don't care that Mom died because of the family business?!

What else can I possibly do?

Catch the bandits and then catch whoever was behind them?

That would be nothing but a wild goose chase.

But you can't just...!

This comes with the territory of doing business.

If you intend to take over the family someday...

The hell with that! As if anyone would want to take it over!

What?

Can the family heritage actually be worth forgetting Mom's murder to protect?!

- You don't understand anything... - That's right, I don't!

I'll never understand how you think!

Can't say I blame him for getting mad.

Hold on, Pokota!

You were listening?

Well, uhh, I am your bodyguard. I need to be nearby at all times!

Only at the wrong times are you people attentive.

I know getting revenge isn't a good thing,

but too much about the way things stand is unbearable.

But I don't think getting revenge would help anyone anyway.

There is no way to get revenge at this point in time.

Apparently, the bandits in question died

after being caught up in a battle years ago.

A battle in the city of Sairaag, where a Holy Tree once stood...

Besides, I haven't forgotten.

No, do you think I could forget being forced to watch my beloved die?!

Mr. Radock...

H-Hey!

Yeah...

- This feeling... - Yes. Looks like we have company.

Lesser Demons!

Don't leave my side!

- You okay, Lina?! - Yeah, somehow or other!

Lesser Demons, huh?

Abel!

Abel! Abel!

Huh?! W-Wait! Mr. Radock!

Freeze Arrow!

We can handle things here! You go after Radock!

- Got it! - Let's go!

I can't see anything in this forest! Ray Wing!

We'll join you! Ray Wing!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

There he is! Down there!

Abel!

- You're okay?! - Has something happened?

Lesser Demons attacked after you left!

Wh-What happened to my dad?!

He ran off, worried about you.

What?! You were hired to be his bodyguard, you know!

Yeah, but when you get down to it...

Abel!

Master Radock!

- Abel... - Dad!

You fool!

Dad...

All right, well, it looks like we have guests here, too.

Th-This can't be for real!

Windy Shield!

Pardon me!

Come, light!

Careful! These guys'll attack any one of us!

Damn!

Individually, these guys are nothing at all, but with this many together...

Escape by yourself.

You can't be serious!

Ozzel, keep Abel safe!

No, I can't do that. I serve only you, Master Radock.

Then take them both to a safe location!

We'll handle things here! You're actually in our way!

Understood.

Blam Blazer!

Visfan Rank!

- That's all of them! - Yeah. Now let's hurry after Lina!

- Right! - Think again.

That Mazoku from before?!

We've been asked to keep you busy, you see...

We intend to do a lot more than that, though...

I guess it's true that the lower the person, the deeper the grudge.

Listen, Abel! Continue to flee to a safe location!

What about you?!

Dad?

Piece o' cake!

- That about does it! - Yeah!

You aren't through yet.

Zuuma!

That's quite a fancy entrance!

Fire Ball!

What the?! No advance warning at all?!

Amelia!

What?!

We need to teach them their place.

Perhaps we should let them play with us a little longer...

Guumu Eon!

Flare Arrow!

There's more where that came from! Damu Bras!

He's still as unbelivably stubborn as ever!

But we know his tricks now!

- We can beat him! - Yeah!

But be careful! There's no telling what he'll do to achieve his goals!

Let's finish this once and for all!

We don't want him to get away like a lizard losing its tail again!

I did not gain new arms to run away again!

Then was it so you could scratch your back?

To defeat you, I obtained the Hellmaster's Jar...

The Hellmaster's Jar?!

...and used Rezo's power inside it to combine a Mazoku's body with mine!

Rezo's power?! A Mazoku?!

Is that?

You will see for yourself.

- Looks like this is the end! - Th-That's not...!

Don't be such a sore loser...

Amelia!

I guess I'll start by cutting you into slices, girl!

- Wh-What?! - Wh-What is this?!

- Aren't they?! - The Mazokus from the other day!

What is the meaning of this?!

We assisted you as per our contract with Rezo,

but a lowly assassin like you...!

D-Damn you!

What I asked Rezo for were sacrifices to serve as replacement arms.

Not foulmouthed henchmen!

- Combining his body with a Mazoku! - Talk about crazy!

Looks like he's abandoned his pride as an assassin, no, even as a human...

Almost like...

You can finish that speech in the next life.

What?! That's what you think!

We still have stuff we have to do!

Gourry! Pokota! He's using those Mazokus'!

Oh no! I can't dodge!

Stop!

Stop it!

Abel!

That's enough, Dad...

- Dad... - No! Abel!

Dad! Why do you have to resort to this?!

D-Dad...

You refuse to listen to your father, no matter what.

Zuuma is actually Radock?!

How did you find out?

l-Isn't it obvious? We're fam...

Abel!

Now, where were we?

Radock! What is this all about?!

Was everything until now just an act?! Were you fooling us and Abel?!

Take it as you will. It is not something that can be explained to others.

Here I come!

Ragna Blade!

Why? Why?!

This is my way of life! I won't let anyone criticize it!

I think that's fine. Everyone is unique in their own way.

- Including their way of living... - Xellos!

...and their way of dying.

I apologize for interrupting.

But this was the only way to wrest the Hellmaster's Jar

from Mr. Radock's hands, you see...

You were just waiting for a chance to steal the Hellmaster's Jar?!

Couldn't we simply say I was looking out for you instead?

That's not going to happen.

I cannot afford to let this jar fall into the hands of you Mazokus yet.

Oh, my.

That was Master Rezo's wish.

But if you still insist on taking this jar, then I will break it where I stand.

It looks like you're serious.

Very well, then. I will continue to leave it in your hands for now.

We finally have the Hellmaster's Jar!

Or so I thought, anyway...

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