"The name's Lina Inverse, sorcery genius and warrior who fights evil bandits in the name of peace and justice." "And I ended up being chased by some." "Since meeting each other while fighting them Gourry and I had been traveling together." "Suddenly, the bandits' pet black dragon appeared!" "After a lot of close calls, I ended the fierce battle by using my sure-shot spell, the Dragon Slave." "In the end, peace was restored to the village." "After bidding farewell to the grateful villagers Gourry and I continue our journey." "Yeah, I know." "But it's not a total lie, okay?" "BAD!" "Mummy Men Aren't My Type!" "I didn't believe the rumors at first, but it's true." "She actually used the Dragon Slave!" "She's no amateur magician, I'll say that." "She attacked us totally out of the blue." "That's how I ended up hurt as bad as I am!" "What?" "!" "Flare Arrow!" "It's all her fault I'm such a mess!" "Ooh, am I gonna pay her back so many times over for this!" "In any case, we have to catch up with her." "We must retrieve the "item" she stole from us." "Damn her!" "Ooh, the things I'm gonna do to that girl!" "It's a magic shop!" "Weird looking store." "It sells magical items." "I think I can get some money for my stuff." "Okay, now for that treasure from last night..." "Wait a minute." "If I'm going to sell anything, I can make this worth a lot more." "That'll do!" "Sorry, Gourry." "Can you wait for me somewhere?" "I guess." "Where are you going, Lina?" "Oh, it's "Lina" now and not "little girl"?" "Yeah." "If I treat a sorceress who can pull off the Dragon Slave like a kid, who knows what punishment I'll end up eating." "Oh?" "So you're treating me like a grown-up now?" "Well, that'll make things easier." "Wait here while I do a little alteration on my treasure." "Gotcha!" "Come back soon!" "We don't know if anyone's still after us!" "Okay, see you later." ""Light of life, brighter than flame."" ""Let thy power gather in my hand."" "Now then..." "This was wearing me down." "Gotta sort out the damaged goods." "An Orihalcon statue!" "That's a rare find!" "Not bad..." "But it looks like there's a weird spell on it." "Oh well, I'll sell it cheap at that store." "Next..." "Lucky me!" "I can sell these to a collector for a lot!" "And the rest are just some ordinary coins and gems..." "Well, that's all I could expect from those kind of bandits." "Flawed rubies don't sell for much." "I'll have to use a trick to get him to buy them." "That's north." "Now for a flawless ruby." ""Source of all power, flames that glow red!"" "Magic square, sealed and ready!" "And now some flawed rubies..." ""You who cross between heaven and earth..."" ""...pass beyond all, evermore."" "Wears you out." "Where'd Lina get to?" "Now then." ""Infinite earth, who supports all life."" ""Gently flowing water."" ""Come to my hand and give this form."" "Yes!" "It worked!" "Now to just wait." "Okay!" "A magical amulet of protection, all ready!" "Now I can sell this for a good price!" "No time to laugh." "Gotta do 'em all!" " All set!" "All set!" " Lina?" "Mister!" "Hey, mister!" "I'd like to sell these!" "Welcome." "Well, let's see what you've got." "You made this, didn't you?" "Yeah, well..." "Lina, you can make these, too?" "You're a good sorceress, aren't you?" "I'll give you a good price for this." "All right!" "Knew I could count on you, Pops." "Next..." "This is an unusual piece." "Seems to have a spell cast on it." "Uh-huh, for this..." "For that?" "I'll take it if you sell me something else." "Oh?" "What?" "Your lives!" "Are you kidding?" "!" "Stop it!" "Get offa me!" "That wasn't just normal strength." "What's wrong with him?" "What's happening?" "It's that knife." "It has some weird sort of spell on it." "And you were going to give that dangerous thing away to somebody?" "!" "Well, maybe it is my fault." "A little." "Never mind about that!" "Let's get outta here!" "It's blocked." "What do we do now?" "This is NOT good." "Don't!" "He's just under the knife's control." "Dammit!" "Can't you cast a spell to make him go to sleep?" "Well I can, but..." "You don't feel like it, right?" "So it's either get that knife or nothing." "Looks that way." "Can I do it without hurting him...?" " Run for it!" " Hold it!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "We can't just leave him like this!" "You did it to him!" "What'll we do?" "!" "No choice." "Gourry, use your sword!" "Just take it easy on him." "You...!" "Why are you goofing off out there?" "!" "Yes, dear!" "I take my eyes off you for a second and you do this!" "You get back in that store or you'll get no dinner!" "A wife is stronger than a cursed knife." "The moral of this story, at least..." "Well, we still didn't turn our treasure into money." "Guess we'll have to go to the next village." "I'm hungry!" "I want to eat!" "I'm hungry!" "I want to eat!" "Just be patient." "There are times you just have to take it like a man." "I'm not a man!" "Oh, yeah." "All set." "You're pretty resourceful in a pinch." "I guess." "Here fishy, fishy, fishy..." "Very tasty." "Look at you." "You eat every part of it." "What's that supposed to mean?" "You shouldn't waste anything." "I'm not saying you should eat the head, but you should eat the guts!" "Ugh." "No thanks." "I can't eat the guts." "It's the best part!" "See?" "But the guts include the stomach, right?" "Of course." "Well, you used THESE for bait." "So they're in there, too." "No..." "What was that?" "You used your powers on it?" "Uh-huh." "For the fishing." "It's..." " Yum!" " Come on." "My own original magic spell." "Oh, so you can do little tricks besides that overkill Dragon Slave thing." "Uh-huh." "Even an idiot can learn one trick." "You can't be the best without knowing the big and the small spells." "That's good!" "Then I guess I can leave those guys to you." "There!" "That girl!" "Oh my!" "What's going on?" "My name's Sophia." "The girl you're looking for isn't..." "Shut up!" "I don't care what your name is!" "You're the one who stole all that bandit treasure!" "Oops..." "He's talking about you, right?" "Shut up!" "Never mind that." "We've got these guys to take care of first." "All right then!" "Let's take it outside!" "No." "Why don't you just give us back what we want, okay?" "Oh, get real!" "You think you can just bust in here and take whatever you want?" "!" "You thief!" "You're a thief, too." "Shut up!" "I stole it from bad guys, so that makes it all right!" "Get her!" " Hey, welcome back." " Hi honey, I'm home!" "This is no time for greetings!" "Damn!" "She moves too fast!" "Gourry, can you wound those trolls?" "Yeah, but trolls heal as soon as you hurt them." "Never mind, just do it!" "Any little scratch'll do." "Okay, okay." "Any little scratch, huh?" "Interesting trick, boy." "But you can't beat trolls like that!" "What the hell?" "!" "What's going on?" "I cast a spell on all the trolls I touched before." "It turns their healing power back on itself." "In other words, since a troll's healing strength is so great the power turned around is enormous." "So a small wound will destroy the entire body." "I dunno what you're talking about, but it works really well." "Uh-oh!" "That's what he was trying to do!" "Take the sword into his own body and have his buddies finish Lina off while she can't move." "Their healing power lets them sacrifice themselves in battle as a tactic!" ""Wind, crimson flame."" ""Come to my hand and grant me the power of thunder!"" "Digger Bolt!" "Sorry, but I do better than you." "Now then, shall we get down to business?" ""Source of all power!" "Crimson fire burning bright!"" "A fireball!" "Run!" "Run!" "Don't just go "whew!" What about that fireball?" "!" "You idiot!" "It's just a light spell, not a fireball." "Kids shouldn't play tricks on grown-ups!" "What have you done?" "!" "Look at this place!" "My business is ruined!" "Yeah..." "Sorry for the trouble." "Umm, well, maybe this could make up for it?" "It's the best I can do for you." "Well..." "That should pay for it." "Never mind." "Lucky me!" "You're quite the actress." "Oh, you noticed?" "I thought I was pretty convincing." "Yeah." "Looking at you from the side gave me the chills." "You talk too much." "So, the survivors of the bandit gang are still after me." "To find me here..." "They must have used magic." "Can they do that?" "Whatever treasure it is that Mummy Man came to get from me is probably what's guiding them to us as well." "I see." "Any more questions?" "No, dear teacher." "Good." "Then class is dismissed." "Who's there?" "I wish to make a purchase." "An item you possess..." "I'll pay any price you name." "Who is this guy?" "You'll have to see the next episode to find out." "To be continued."
