Even when twilight arrives and the darkness swallows all,

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

"Yesterday's Memory Days Regained."

Red Priest Rezo...

Rezo... Have you really revived?!

I had no idea that this would happen...

There is no need to be sad. In fact, she should be praised,

because she protected me and successfully accomplished her duty of reviving me.

She was made that way.

She's unlike people, who idly live their lives without purpose.

Doesn't that make her seem all the more beautiful?

You made her that way!

Given that she's a doll, I was surprised

by the fact she would have a spirit no different from people.

This world does not abide by one's wishes.

Indeed, there may be nothing in this world that goes as one hopes.

Are you really Rezo?

Please pardon me for taking this form.

However, the spirit inside is most definitely that of I, Red Priest Rezo.

I can feel it... The life of the earth...

The aromatic breath of the wind...

The pulse of life!

Yes, this world is wonderful when felt through a living body!

There are also people whose lives and bodies you stole!

With all things comes sacrifice.

It lays a foundation; that is the way this world works.

No one is an exception to that rule.

Not you, or even I...

Damn your egotistical!

I suppose I should say it has been a long time... Lina Inverse.

It seems I've put you people through quite a lot of trouble.

You can say that again! I'd love to hear a good reason why!

What is your aim?

My aim...

Who cares what you want! It's time for you to lift Taforashia's seal!

Taforashia's seal... Yes, I'd nearly forgotten...

Just lift everyone's seals first!

Very well. I have been revived fully.

I should be able to...

Really?!

I shall repay you for liberating my spirit.

Then everyone will be...?!

On second look, this is really something...

You're not plotting something else, I hope?

You needn't be so wary. There's no catch to my awakening them.

People confined inside sleep so deep... Land hidden in mist so white...

Frozen time, shatter the hollow ice and wake now!

Everyone!

H-Hey! Are you awake?! Can you hear me?!

We did it!

- All right! - Hurray!

Rezo.

Th-Thank you...

It isn't over yet.

Have you forgotten they've been stricken with the Durum Plague?

O-Oh, right!

Things are going to be busy. Zelgadis, lend a hand.

O-Okay.

What should I do?

First, provide them with enough food and water.

- Let's help, too! - Yeah!

I'll have Seyruun send medicine right away!

To Seyruun! Tell them as quickly as possible!

Hang in there! You're gonna be all right, everyone!

Hang in there! You're going to be fine!

These herbs and these herbs.

It's only temporary, but this medicine will slow the illness's progress.

Learn it well.

Yeah...

Be strong, Dad!

This way! There isn't much time! Hurry to them right away!

The medicine is here!

About time!

There's a lot more on its way!

I had them gather all of the medicine in Seyruun!

I also had them ask other countries to provide whatever else is needed!

Thank you! I'm in your debt! Seyruun's done so much to help!

No, the aid that Seyruun sent last time never arrived.

But this time it's arrived in time! I'm sure my father is delighted too!

Anyway, now we can get on with the treatment!

Looks like he's awake!

Wh-Where am I?

You seemed to have the worst symptoms, so it's good to see you awake.

You caught a terrible disease and were put into a deep sleep

to prevent it from progressing.

Who are you?

I'm Amelia, princess of Seyruun!

Please rest easy! The people of this kingdom have been saved!

Th-Then it was Seyruun that?

No. It was your son Pokota, I mean Prince Posel, who saved everyone.

Posel? Where is Posel?!

The prince is...

Dad, if you're reading this, then the disease must be fading away.

I'm sad I'm not there to see it,

but right now I'm traveling all around, seeking aid from each kingdom.

You can count on the people there to take care of everyone who's sick.

Don't worry. They're more than trustworthy.

Oh, Posel...

No, that is how a prince must act!

It looks like he's really grown up.

Do you not want to see your father?

I don't need to see my dad.

Besides, I'd only cause confusion if I showed up like this right now.

It's too late now for me to give this body back...

It's okay. I'm fine with that.

- Mr. Stuffed Animal... - Huh? Stuffed?

You cured everyone's sickness, right?

U-Umm...

Thank you!

No, thank you...

Yes. This is enough for me right now.

Everyone!

The long battle with the disease has been tough on us.

And, I am sure even more difficult times lie in wait

if we want to restore Taforashia to its former glory.

But tonight, let us forget that and drink in great celebration!

- Long live Taforashia! - Long live Taforashia!

I guess we can breathe a little easier now...

Yes. Thank goodness things turned out well.

It's a shame you can't be there with them though, Mr. Pokota...

Man, this isn't any fun.

Well, the citizens probably would be confused

if they learned their prince turned into a stuffed animal.

Still, do you think they'll ever accept that I'm the prince?

You can explain everything to them someday.

That's true!

In any case, the hard part is yet to come.

Rebuilding this kingdom won't be an easy task...

Compared to what we went through before, it'll be nothing!

Yeah, huh?!

Where'd Lina and Gourry go?

Huh? They were chowing down on roast spotted cow just now...

So here you are.

And why are you here?

I'm no good with being part of celebrations like that; it just feels awkward.

We aren't the guests of honor, either.

In short, we are outsiders.

Pokota and the Taforashians deserve to celebrate after all they've been through.

Good food is all that matters to me.

Tell me, Rezo. Are you happy that the people of Taforashia were saved?

Of course. Saving even just one person is cause for happiness.

Even if you were the cause for the entire string of incidents?

Did you come here to say that?

No. I wanted to ask something else.

I have something I'd like to ask Mr. Rezo, too.

Xellos!

Fancy meeting you here!

Huh? If Xellos is here...

...does that mean it was smart of me to borrow this from Pokota?

You're not bright, but you've got good hunches!

Though I guess that depends on what happens next...

So, what did you want to ask?

Well, simply put, I want to know what's behind your little revival drama...

Yes, and your actions have been a mystery too, Xellos.

Why did a Mazoku like you have to keep an eye on Rezo's spirit?

My main duty this time wasn't so much about watching over him

as it was making sure, you see.

Making sure?

Also, why was Ozzel so hesitant to revive Rezo despite being ordered to?

If revival was your only goal, then you didn't need to come to us!

Did you want to get us to do something?

Or are you trying to get us to do something now?

Yes, it did seem like you clearly approached them for a reason.

The same goes for you, Xellos!

You'd never hang around us either unless you had a reason.

Chalk it up to simply being cautious, I suppose.

There are things even I can't do, you see...

And, most important of all...

The power of the Philosopher's Stone broke the seal on your spirit,

so you should be able to see now.

You worked so hard and did such terrible things to be able to see.

So why are your eyes still closed now?!

So you did realize it...

Though it was difficult to confirm the suspicions...

- What was that?! - Was it Ms. Lina and the others?!

Don't tell me it's...!

These attacks are nothing. Do not underestimate my power!

My apologies. But is that power really yours?

Or is it...

That power is not meant for the likes of humans.

What's more, if it were to fall into the gods' hands,

it would completely reshape this world's balance of power.

The gods do not have my trust, however.

Experience this power firsthand!

Ra Tilt!

It's no use.

Dislash!

Just kidding!

Just as I thought...

No matter how outstanding that attack just now was,

there is absolutely no way a regular human can block

something I put all of my magic power into...

Xellos!

There is no need to worry. I am a Mazoku, after all...

You're a crafty one.

But there's no doubt about it now.

Yes...

When Rezo was seemingly destroyed in battle,

his spirit was sealed in the Hellmaster's Jar.

But Dark Lord Shabranigdo's spirit also wound up sealed inside it!

What?! You mean the Dark Lord Shabranigdo?!

Yes. The Dark Lord that rules over this world's darkness.

It's said that his body was broken into seven pieces

and sealed inside people's spirits.

One of whom was Red Priest Rezo...

I had no idea you'd figured out that much.

I only hit upon the idea after wondering why you were being so roundabout.

I was wondering if you meant to fight it out with Rezo,

but I didn't know he had backup like that!

If you had figured that much out, why did you allow my revival?

Because we couldn't find any other way out of it.

Just breaking the jar could've wound up reviving the Dark Lord, too.

Hiding the jar somewhere out of reach would've had the same result too,

because its power would have eventually weakened.

Plus, I guess I had some faith in you, too.

Oh?

I had faith that of all people,

Red Priest Rezo would never repeat his same failures.

Rest easy. The Dark Lord's spirit has not yet woken.

The Dark Lord's spirit was also wounded during that battle.

He sleeps deeply in the darkness, waiting until it is healed.

Just what is it you want?!

You've sacrificed so much to be revived, but for what?!

It's because I saw it.

The light...

Though it wasn't long before I was swallowed by Shabranigdo,

for that short time these eyes saw light...

Light?

Because I saw the light,

I craved to see it once more, even while I was sealed away.

The Dark Lord's pulsations corrupt people who approach him

and awaken the darkness in their hearts.

Gioconda's greed... Duclis' anger... Zuuma's madness...

- Ms. Lina! - What in the world happened?!

Zel! Amelia!

What are you doing to Rezo?!

There's nothing to do!

For all we know, we could end up witnessing Shabranigdo's revival.

What?!

The spirits of Rezo and Shabranigdo were sealed inside that jar together!

- Wait! Does that mean we?! - Helped revive the Dark Lord, too.

You can't be serious... You tricked us, Rezo?!

Just as you wished for Taforashia's restoration, I too had but one desire.

But that doesn't mean...!

No one can defy what one's spirit desires!

Even if it means the world will be destroyed...

Knowing what would happen should the Dark Lord reawaken

made me wish to see the light again even more!

You...

And that is why I summoned you here.

- You don't care what happens, Rezo?! - Wait! Rezo!

This world truly is marvelous!

And the light I saw...

...that I wanted to see one more time...

Now, destroy me!

Just as you did before!
