------------------------- El-Hazard The Magnificent World Volume 2 ------------------------- Ah! Just let me die now. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm not a woman. I'm not pretty. What--what... What--what the... Fatora... Does my return so excite you? Please love this Alielle. Long time, no love. Wh-what are you gonna do? I was expecting I'd be awake and out of this crazy dream. Hey, Makoto! Are you awake? Mizuhara! Wh-wh-what the hell do you think you're doing? Sensei, good morning. Not good morning! What a scandal for a student of the honored Shinonome High... on another world! Huh? No! It's not what you think! Your sensei... your sensei is so disappointed! What's wrong? Do you realize what you've been doing? I--I--I... When did you meet such a girl, anyway? I said, it's not what you think! What do you mean it's not what I think? Fatora! I'm so disappointed! How many times do I have to tell you... to make you understand? Fatora, good morning! Princess Fatora's... lover?!? Yes. I had to go away to visit my parents... and I came back last night. I got a headache. You mean a hangover? No! The princess' lover is a little girl. This is an unbelievable world. I love Fatora, seriously. But I came back to the palace... and I heard she's lost now. It's supposed to be a secret, isn't it? Well, I had no choice, given the situation... I won't snitch on you! But please give me a hand finding her. Please! Y-yeah. I guess I'll try my best. Oh! Thank you so much! But you're really just like Fatora. Oh, my! I feel excited, somehow. Hey, are you sure nothing happened last night? Definitely impossible. In a far distant range of mountains... lies the holy peak of Mt. Muldoon. No outsider is allowed to enter. Upon that summit live the three priestesses... who worship the ancient gods. Well, is that mountain a high grade challenge? What? Just how steep is it? Extremely. Even a well-trained mountain ascetic... would be afraid to scale it. Fantastic! The Eye of God was tightly sealed by the ancient gods. Only three wise sages, the wisest of all the sages... who shall reside upon Mt. Muldoon... can unseal it. And you want me to go ask them? Correct. Only a princess... who is in dual command of the royal house... may request such action. The Princess must not leave here under these circumstances. We have no other choice for help than our guest Makoto. I understand. Please. I insist you leave it to us. I know I can count on you. Hey, you can't decide just among yourselves. I think that's a frightening mountain. Listen, Makoto... for the people, for the society... we face hardship. That's the Shinonome High School spirit! It's too much! It's gonna be all right. I have a hunch it will be fun. What's this, "It's gonna be all right"? Looks good! In the raiment of an envoy, even I believe it! Yes. She's very beautiful. I've had enough! I never even said I'm gonna go! It will be all right. I'll be right next to you, too. That's right. Just listen to the call of the mountain. Come on, you guys! Fatora. Fatora. Well, I'll present you with this cat. Go on. This is a cat, you say? Here. Come here. Fatora. Its name is Ura. Ura! What is this thing? The cat is a unique species that acts as living armor. It protected Fatora, and now it will protect you. Uh, nice to meet you. I'm Makoto. Makoto. Makoto! He looks even more like Princess Fatora... when he has the cat around him. Yes. It's true. I'm getting turned on again. Will you knock it off? The country of Gannan has fallen too easily... to the Bugrom advance. They have never suffered... such a serious breach of their defenses. It would seem now our final hope lies with Princess Fatora. Hmm. I think this would work as a good pickax. This act will quiet the fears of our allies. The alliance is peaceful at this time. Huh? Galus. It's our turn next. Perhaps we can proceed with plans for our wedding. Yes. For the conquest of the country of Gannan... I, Diva, bestow upon you the Bugrom Mushi-pale Medal. You're amazing, Mr. Jinnai. An entire country crushed in your very first battle. I'll show you my real power from now on. Get used to it. Oh, you seem very capable. They what? That's awful! What's wrong? Remember what I said... about the ultimate weapon of the alliance? You're talking about the Eye of God? Rune Venus has sent her sister Fatora... as an envoy in an attempt to unseal it. Really? If they use that, we will never win. Don't worry. Just leave it to me. What? Eliminate the second princess of Roshtaria... and the Eye of God is useless. It's like killing two birds with one stone. Prince of deep shadows... I have come as you requested. Kiriya? The princess Fatora is headed to Mt. Muldoon. She can't! We have taken care of the princess. Of course, it is an impersonator... but we don't know who it is. Why don't you expose the truth to the alliance? The royal house is trying to hide Fatora's disappearance. If I were to tell them the truth... I would fall under direct suspicion. And I am not ready to reveal my true identity yet. It must seem a cruel irony... that you cannot expose the fake Fatora to the alliance. It's nothing. We just destroy the impersonator... as if she were the real princess. I see. I have disseminated this information to the Bugrom. They, bugs, will attack Fatora and her entourage... without realizing our true intention. Kiriya, during this confusion, you must kill the impostor. Yes, sir! We'll let the Bugrom and the alliance... destroy each other... like the ancient people of El-Hazard. Listen carefully, mountain men Don't fall in love with mountain men Oh, this is great! Greater than the Himalayas. My hunch was correct after all. It's perfect. Drinking on a mountain is the best. Hey! What are you doing? Hurry up! You darn kids will never conquer Mt. Muldoon... with that kind of attitude! I think he has the wrong attitude! I'm wondering, are we really all right without guards? No choice. They say it's the tradition. But they didn't have to leave us without porters. Caravan porters are like that, usually. We're not climbing the Himalayas. Well, don't worry. There are no clinging turds following us up this mountain. That is surely Makoto Mizuhara. You bastard! How dare you disturb me in this place! What a clinger he is! Just one woman. So she is Princess Fatora. Listen! You can't bring them back alive! We have to let Makoto know my real power! You fools! Where are you going? Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! You have to get ahead of them! You have to trap them fair and square! This is it! This is it! Do it! Now! You idiots! Can't you recognize a perfect opportunity? There. It's done. You must abandon this concept of honesty. I will teach you how to commit a correct foul. I-I'm gonna die! I'm scared! What are you guys saying? This rock is as solid as the foothills of the Kurobe! Are you really sure we took the right way? We both saw the sign, didn't we? Oh, you have an aptitude for this. It reminds me of scaling the north face... of the Grand Jorasses! Oh! I'm getting excited! I-I'm gonna die! Don't give up! We can reach the correct route even after this! "Correct route even after this"? Are you saying there was another way? Yeah, but I just wanted to try this wall. Hey, faster! We're falling behind schedule! Look, this would be called the traditional pitfall. Hey, Katsuo! Dig harder! Damn right! I'm talking to you, Katsuo! And you are--let's see... Masuo, Tarao, Namihei, and Ikura. Oh. Norisuke. What? They don't come here? They are climbing the wall?!? Makoto! You outwit me! You're a formidable enemy! Wow! It's beautiful. What is this place? Oh, damn! We are in the Crystal Tunnels! What's that? I've heard something about the path of the wind... from the Crystal Mountain. I don't know what that is, but it sounds awful. Sensei! Sensei! Sensei! What's happened to me? Damn! What's this?!? I wanna go home. Oh, Nanami. I guess you're at school... and doing business as usual. Hey! Where's my Kimora Combo? I ordered three Mayolie Nan! Hurry up! Yes! Sorry! What the hell-- Oh, yeah. The tip. Thanks. You need to be patient, Nanami. I know only the money's gonna get me out of this place. I'm gonna die! What's with this mountain? After I went to the trouble of bringing a pickax. Where the hell's the snow?!? Walk quietly, please! Long time no see, Makoto Mizuhara! Jinnai! I didn't know you were here, too! I wanted to see you! Seeing you again at this place... means you are my real destined rival after all! But it'll finish by today. I'm putting an end to our long war. You're talking funny again. By the way, I didn't know you had such a taste... for dressing like a woman. I-it's not what you think! You don't have to explain nothing. Even if you are a pervert, you were a good rival. Those bugs! You've sided with them? That's right! They are my followers... and I'll be the ruler of all the El-Hazard! Attack! What are you gonna do? Stop this, Jinnai! This is no way for president of the student council to act! Retreat! I'm gonna die! What? Did you see my superhuman Fujisawa's jump power? You know, I didn't go on the wagon for nothing! What are you guys doing? After them! Hurry, Katsuo! After--after them! They're catching up! Damn it! -Makoto! Makoto! Thank you! I'm saved. It's a job. Sensei! Makoto! And so ends Makoto Mizuhara. Attack! Who is it? Committing murder in the holy mountains of God. What do you think you're doing? Cool! I don't know who you are... but I don't allow anyone to disturb me. Attack! You wanna pick a fight with me? Good decision. Cool! Cool! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Get ready! Hey! Hey! God damn it! Withdraw! Withdraw! Hurry up! You cut it dangerously close... but thanks so much for saving us. I never expected you to be a priestess. No problem. Excuse me, but what's your name? Oh, I am Shayla-Shayla. Nice to meet ya. Sister Shayla-- what a gorgeous name. Oh, busy, busy. Hurry up or we'll miss the purification ceremony. Yo, Afura, Fatora from Roshtaria dropped by. Oh, yeah, Fatora from Roshtaria. So you're the princess? Welcome. I am Afura Mann, one of the priestesses of Mt. Muldoon. E-excuse me... but we came here to ask you something. Sorry, not now. We're in a hurry. But wait! Shayla, we're leaving now. I know, I know. Oh, sister! We are so late. Sister Miz must be tired of waiting. Wait--wait a minute! Please! We have something very important to ask of you! Please come again. Sorry. D-don't be like that! It's about the destiny of Roshtaria and the Eye of God! No! Wait! It's ready. Yeah. Let's hit it. Please! Listen to my story! Shayla! Sister! Oh, they've gone. What did we come all the way up here for? Don't know. Sister! Sister! Sister! The purification ceremony that all priestesses attend... takes place annually at the holy fountain. We followed those three priestesses... to Arliman Springs and when we get there we see... Don't look! You're not old enough! Our next episode is "The World of Hot Springs." Fond remembrance of memories from long ago. W-water. Tall cold one. How did we ever end up like this? We came here and went through many troubles, but... They said something about a purification ceremony, right? Well, maybe. Something like that. I've heard about that. There's a holy spring called the Fountain of Arliman... beyond the Desert of Bleached White Bones. They go there once a year... for meditation and purification. It sounds exaggerated. Some kind of religious traditional program thing, huh? Yes. For the holy ones, practice and commandments are absolutely necessary. They rushed off to some kinda water hole or something, anyway. Then what are we gonna do? Well, I guess we'll have to follow them. Wh-what? Wh-what? For what you paid, this is as far as we go. If you wanna go more, you got to pay more. No way! That's not what we talked about. Hey, hey! You either pay it up or you get out of here. You're kidding! If you let us off out here, we're gonna die! At least then I wouldn't have to hear your annoying mouth! Well, are you gonna pay us the additional fee or not, huh? Hey, how about you, Pop? Again? What's this? Do you dare taste my Fist of Justice again? No, No. Look! Only the practiced holy people can go beyond this sealed point. I can't go any further. Are you telling us we've got to walk the rest of the way? I fear for my life, Mister. Damn you, Makoto Mizuhara! Only you have the final weapon which I don't have. How come such unfair things happen? Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's the same as a nuclear balance. We need some kind of incredibly strong weapon. There has to be something... something with the same power as the Eye of God. No. Th-that is... What's that? No, it's nothing. You've got something, don't you? Tell me. What's that? No. It's too horrid. You don't want to win a victory of the alliance? Tell me, Diva! Come on, hurry! We should be in Arliman's area, right? What the hell? When are we going to reach it? I give up. Why are we in this much trouble? Why are you the only one who's all right? All right. All right, all right. Look! Uhhh...oof. Hey, Sansuke! Don't loaf on your job. Hurry up and do it! Put your heart in it! Yes, that's better. A flower's life is very short. Preserving my beauty makes me melancholy. I'll get married this year somehow... and retire. By the way, Shayla-Shayla and Afura Mann are very late. Young girls these days. It's cold! Don't you know the difference between warm and cold water? You are terrible! Dear God! Fujisawa! Kick! Are you all right? I give you freedom. I destroyed the monster. Thank you so much. You saved me. Thank you. You are not hurt, Miss? I mean, Madam? Oh, yes, it's Miss! And I owe you my life! It's nothing. It was merely my duty. May I ask you your name, please? My name is Masamichi Fujisawa. Mr. Fujisawa? And, uh, occupation? Teacher at state Shinonome High School. Wow! A teacher at school? Government employee! Stable income! Where are my manners? I am Miz Mishtal, one of three priestesses of Muldoon. Ifurita? With a legend of terror as frightening as the Eye of God. Can we find out over there? No. What? Say nothing. Just follow me. W-what's this? In the holy wars, I hear that there were grim demon gods at the battlefield. They devastated the land with their horrible powers. One demon annihilated that city... and its name is Ifurita. Well... It's a legendary demon god, Ifurita! What? Ifurita is the strongest and the worst demon god... and a horrible destroyer. It's useable. I can use it! It will be my final trump card! The fountains of Arliman... are just a hot springs resort after all? The priestess job is full of stress, right? We look forward to this day once a year. I call it Arima Hot Spring instead of Arliman. It could be the fountain of Atami or something... around there. Please get us back to the school safely. I can't take more leave from work... otherwise what will they say? Sensei! What are you doing, sensei? Oh, sorry. Hey, you guys! Oh, it's you, Miz. We are sorry for being late. Where the hell have you been? Uh, we went to the Barage Market first. You see, it will be crowded by the time we return. It's not the time for such a thing! Roshtaria is facing danger, I heard. What? You guys again? How are you? You really intend to do that? Absolutely. Ifurita is strictly taboo in El-Hazard. Nobody must awaken Ifurita! But I will because it is the true ruler. Would you like another cup? I would. Thank you. Careful! I apologize about the blindfold. Because this is a women's bath. I should wear one. I can feel all the tension flowing away. Oh, yeah. You said it! It's so exciting. Here I am taking a bath with a famous Muldoon priestess. Hey, don't get so close to me! Hey, what do you think you're touching? Excuse me... --I said hands off-- But I'd like to ask you about sealing the Eye of God. Hey, are you listening? Box lunch! How about a box lunch! That voice... something about it is familiar. Oh, I got hungry! Yeah, me, too. It's good timing. Box lunch service! Yes! How are you? Well, I have several selections. What would you like? Makoto? I wanted to see you! No, no. You've got me mixed up with someone else. You don't know how frightened and lonely I've been in this crazy place. It's been a terrible hardship. I got a job as a waitress... and finally saved enough money to start my own business. And then, and then... I told you you got the wrong person. But what's that clothing? Did you have such a taste in clothing, Makoto? Makoto? Is she your friend, Fatora? She's got the wrong idea. Oh, Mr. Fujisawa, you're here, too? I feel so much better. I beg you to get away from here. Hey! Why don't you get in the bath, anyway? Well, no thanks. I'm O.k. Are you saying that you can't take the same bath with me? No, it's not like that. If so, why don't you get in the bath? Well, Sister Shayla, I don't think that's a very good idea. Not good? Why not? Well, it's just, uh... Just a second. I can get used to Makoto in this different world, but why are you in the women's bath? What the hell are you doing? I ask you the same thing! Well, both of you... wait a minute! Trouble! You try my patience! It's a guy! I'm sorry! I have a reason for this. Damn you! Hurry! Run away, otherwise we're gonna die! Wait, wait, Afura Mann! Let me go! Why am I always in these situations? Sister, please calm down! Damn you! I'll kill you! It's so hot. Ouch! Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Oh, no, we are the ones who are sorry. Still dirty. You're a real troublemaker. I don't care. It's his fault, Mr. Fashion Show over there. I'm sorry. You should have told us the truth before. She's right. I'm sorry, but it seems that my students are showing up. Could you stop being so close? At least now we understand the full circumstances... and I think we should help Roshtaria... to ready the wedding preparations... I mean, uh, help them with the unsealing of the Eye of God. Count me out. I don't wanna help such a pervert. I tell you, I wasn't enjoying dressing like this. Quite possibly. Sister, please don't say so. Get away from me! Certainly, we shouldn't unseal the Eye of God so easily. Why not? Please, don't say such a cold thing. Please, sister! You're asking for help, but... We can't without all three of us agreeing. Oh, sister, please! I said back off! She's beautiful. Yeah, you said it. What's that lecherous face? You turned into a real pervert... after you came here, didn't you? Excuse me. May I ask what you are doing? Oh, it's nothing. Is he your boyfriend? No way! We don't have that kind of relationship. By the way, though... your skin is really beautiful. Oh, you think so? Yes. Looks like limpid lake water. I've seen many people since I came here... but I haven't met anyone with blue skin before. Blue skin? She does? Yeah. Liar! Damn her! You will die! W-what happened? She was a member of the Phantom tribe. We three priestesses shouldn't be off our guard. W-what is going on? You somehow have an ability... to distinguish the Phantom tribe. Phantom tribe? They live beneath El-Hazard... and they are a merciless tribe. I've come to report to the three priestesses. We have just received word... that the Bugrom are headed toward the Forbidden Island from the port of Gannan. What do you mean? It can't be. It's impossible. Are you sure it isn't a mistake? Yes, I'm sure. The secret location of the Forbidden Island... where Ifurita is resting... will only be revealed to the holy sages of Muldoon. Without knowing where it is, how will you find it? Well, you'll see. What the hell is at Forbidden Island? Just shut up or you will bite your tongue. I'm really going to awaken the legendary demon god! Makoto! You'll never gain El-Hazard. Ancient gods... you not only destroyed yourselves... but will you now also destroy us with the power? Disgusting destroyer Ifurita. Woe to them who try to awaken it.

The legendary demon god Ifurita... has been sealed on a place called the Forbidden Island. The battle is with Jinnai who is trying to bring it back to life. But the one who is really sealed up there is... Are you really Ifurita? Our next episode is "The World of the Demon God." The world of mystery and chaos that is beckoning to us all.
