Where monsters rampage, I'm there to take them down!

Where treasure glitters, I'm there to claim it!

Where an enemy rises to face me, victory will be mine!

Ever since I unexpectedly got a hold of the Orihalcon dagger-

Sorry, Orihalcon statue I meant...

... we've been constantly followed by guys after it!

And so far Gourry and I have been fending them off!

However, since I wasn't able to use any powerful magic...

... I sorta, kinda had them chasing me last time.

Just don't ask me why, okay?

Oh, man...

And finally I was in the enemy's clutches.

What shall become of...

... our lovely sorcery genius Lina Inverse?

Oh, this is not the time for a third person schtick!

"ESCAPE! Noonsa, The Flaming Fish Man!"

Feels like there's a hundred bees buzzing in my head...

So, you're awake now.

Zolf!

No use trying to struggle.

Seems we overestimated you, my dear.

That's right, they caught me...

Where's Gourry?!

That guy who was with you ran off after he heard we'd got you.

Dumped you, huh, little girl?

Guess so.

There's still some life in you. You look pretty calm.

Anyway, let's cut to the chase.

Apparently we were wrong to assume you were carrying it.

Where's the Orihalcon statue?

Who knows?

You gave it to that man?

Is that it?

So, now what?

What confuses me is our losing track of the statue.

How did you do it?

I slap a protection spell on everything like that.

A protection spell?!

I figured you were using magic to track that thing.

But with that spell on it, you'll never be able to find where it is.

You can do that?!

Yeah, sure.

So why did you use such feeble magic against me when we fought?

I didn't even give you a taste of my true power!

You don't seem like an idiot...

But why use such weak tricks against me?

Of course!

It's that time of the month.

Lay off!

In any case, we'll have to keep you alive until...

...we recover the Orihalcon statue.

Zolf, do whatever you want with her.

Just don't kill her!

Yes sir! I understand perfectly.

Now then, little lady.

For all the grief you've caused me...

...I'd like to thank you with a little payback!

Guess I'm going to have to teach you a painful lesson.

Dilgear!

Yeah?

Smile!

Huh? Uh... like this?

No, you numbskull! Like this!

Hey... Quibbit! Cuh it ow!

You keep jerking us around and these teeth get used!

Uh, guys?

Now, unless you want to get ripped to shreds...

...you'll come clean and tell the boss where the statue is!

Otherwise...

The Orihalcon's...

Come on, speak up! What's that?

The Orihalcon's...

- What?! - Well...

Oh man, you fell for it! What a yutz!

Ayutz?! That's it!

No more mister nice guy!

Noonsa! Hey, Noonsa!

Is it my turn?

Okay, Noonsa... Give the girl a kiss!

A kiss?!

Hey, you'll love it.

Getting a kiss from me, the handsomest guy in my tribe!

Who the heck said you were handsome?!

Get away! Get away! Don't even touch me!

Whoa! Deep kiss!

Oh god, the smell...

That hurt!

Just shut up! What kind of way is that to treat a girl?!

You gangly, knock- kneed, third-rate magic- using mummy man!

Third-rate!!! Why, you! Nobody calls me that!!!

Whoa, Zolf! Just chill, will you?

Ooh, it's too late for that! I'm going to show her hell!

I'd like to see you tr-

That's enough outta you! Now prepare yourself!

Little runt!

Pig face!

Flat chest!

Shrew! Saucer-eyed egomaniac!

Is that really your nose?! And what's with your hair?!

Man, that's hitting below the belt!

If I'm third-rate, then you're fifth-rate!

Lina?!

Not her...

Lina definitely isn't stacked that well.

- Pervert!!! - Hold on!

What's the big deal?!

Bartender, have you seen this girl around here?

You kidding? I don't know any monsters.

Monsters?

I thought I drew it to look just like her...

Hey, calm down. Drink this and you'll feel better.

I don't get it. Where'd she go?

Now, let's see...

Flare...

...Arrow!

Lina!

We got separated, and then...

That's the signal from Zel.

Well, now that we have her, no point in going after this guy.

Let's go Rodimus!

Looks like you escaped death this time.

But why did they just suddenly run off like that?

Of course! They must have captured Lina! That's it!

This is no time to pat myself on the back!!!

This is a disaster!

I want to be strong! Strong! Strong!

Damn you, Rezo...

Shut up, you tub of...

Be quiet!

Why?

You must have fallen for your lovely captive, right?

Or maybe not.

Do you want to escape or don't you?

Oh, yeah. Sure. I'm escaping, I'm escaping.

So, where are we going?

Well, what are you planning to do to me?

I bet you're leading me into another trap, right?

Well, whatever. Better than hanging around back there.

You may reverse that statement before long.

He's putting me on.

I feel alive again! A hundred times better!

How about you, Zel?

I am fine.

If you're finished, we can go.

He's scared.

A powerful warrior like him... I wonder why?

You find my face that freakish?

Oh, no! I didn't mean anything!

This face is not mine by choice.

Stop staring!

Lina!

Cuttin' out on us, huh? I don't like that!

Oh man, this guy's gonna be a tough one.

Well then, I'll fight you!

What a moron.

Damn, such a bother!

Ray Wing!

Now's my chance.

Great... I've got my hands full fighting this guy.

I can't hold my breath forever!

I can't swim out with this going on!

I need air!

Zel!

This air tastes good! Hey, Zel. Thank you!

I'm doing this only until I recover the statue.

Until then, I can't let you die.

Oh, whatever.

I'll settle this, got that?

Fireball!

He took care of Noonsa.

But I still can't trust him 100% , though...

Taking out his own guys and going after the treasure himself...

It could just be a plan for me to trust him.

But, till...

Ow! Zero points for style!

If Noonsa came after us, I imagine the others did as well.

We can't lag about!

What's with you?

You're doing all this to get the statue, right?

So, until then, you play bodyguard for me, right?

Well, I guess you could look at it that way.

Glad to have you, Zel!

Ow! That's hard!

You're a very strange girl.

Okay! And let's see you cheer up! Let's go!

What's up?

Rezo, the Red Preist?!

Why did we run into Red Priest Rezo while escaping?

Gourry, what do you think your doing?

Next Time: "FOCUS! Rezo's the ReaI Enemy?"

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