Favaro!
Get back here, damn it!
Hey, now! Don't go runnin' off!
Coward!
Bye-bye!
Whoa! Hey! Not cool!
Are you kidding me?
Favaro!
Oh, Kaisar! Welcome aboard!
Just check out this view!
You ain't goin' nowhere now.
I LOVE YOU, MARY
From my heart to yours, Kaisar!
I refuse your offering!
I have a bit of advice for you, Kaisar!
Silence, Favaro!
I'll lend no ear to your depraved nonsense!
Y'know what your weakness is? That attitude.
You have such a narrow view of things.
You need to look at the big picture.
And what's behind you.
Oh, well.
Someone, help!
Let go of me!
Quit your yappin'. Ain't no one comin' to help you.
Crap!
This is seriously bad!
Hey!
Who the hell are you?
You here to save the broads?
Huh? They ran off!
They better not have, you dumbass!
Whew. Sorry about that.
That wristband...
Oh, you mean this?
You're a bounty hunter!
Favaro!
A prince on a white horse now?
This day just keeps getting crazier.
No, he's a bounty hunter too!
Stop!
Hey! Keep wasting time on me and your prey'll get away!
Silence! Whose fault is it that I'm now a wretched bounty hunter?
This is all—
Yeah!
Pin all the blame on me, why don't ya?!
You're a monster!
Stop, Barina Chall Lidfard!
Barele Shale Doremifa...
Now that's the stuff!
Hey!
Don't worry about your place.
His bounty'll cover the damage.
And my tab.
You sure 'bout that?
I'm sure.
This is bad. If we return empty-handed now...
Sir Garth's gonna kill us for sure!
The horses ran off!
Whoa! What's that?
A girl?
U-Uh, who are you?
And why are you naked?
Did you fall from the sky?
You idiot! Why would a girl fall from the sky?
Don't call me an idiot!
Hey! You listening?
The compass is broken. I can't return to Helheim.
What are you talking about?
Whatever!
We got our gift for the boss.
But let's take a closer look at the merchandise first!
I want my girls! Now!
Boss, I heard a bounty hunter was in town this morning.
Maybe he's the reason—
Bring this bounty hunter to me!
No need!
I'm already here.
Hilarious.
Slaughter 'im.
Bastard!
Huh?
Where'd he go?
Look down!
Huh? Down?
You're pretty good.
Shabale Seta Ruge...
A summoning spell, huh?
Seems you've left me no choice.
After him!
What happened to...
Wh-What happened to...
What happened to all your huff and puff, bounty hunter?
Huh. Strange, don't you think?
Where'd these puddles come from even though it hasn't rained a drop?
Hell if I know! Burn him to a crisp!
What? How?
So sorry!
The plants looked dry and I had no water, so I gave 'em some high-grade alcohol instead.
You wretch. You knew they could attack with fire?
Of course! Now let me give you a piece of advice.
It's best not to keep talkative pets.
Bastard!
You... dirty scoundrel...
Dirty? If anything, your bad luck is to blame.
Seel Soh Cetom.
Rage of Bahamut
That makes twenty now.
Ugh.
Plastered again?
Bacchus!
Please wake up! You have a visitor!
Huh?
Get off my back! Don't you know who I am?
A god, yeah?
Maybe you should start watching how much you drink.
It can't be all that good for you.
Man, it always weirds me out how different it is on the inside.
Don't come bargin' in and complainin'!
Here ya go. Today's catch.
Here ya go, Bomber Head. 800 Rupies.
Don't call me Bomber Head.
And why'd you only give me half?!
I'm supposed to get 1,600 Rupies!
Shaddap! Don't you know who—
Whoa, now.
Don't you dare. Don't you dare barf.
You passed out?
It's my policy to spend all of my day's earnings!
Let's drink the house down! No one's sleepin' tonight!
You must be really tough!
I guess. Today does mark my...
two hundredth bounty collected.
Wow!
Say, what kind of people have you run into?
Scoundrels that'd make a beautiful girl like you...
burst into tears.
What towns have you been to?
Cities brimming with beautiful ladies...
much like yourself.
Oh, it's girls this, girls that...
Women are monsters!
And my journeys take me to lands unknown!
My next stop is Helheim in the far north!
The far north? Where again?
Helheim!
Helheim?
What, you've never heard of it?
I've heard of it.
They say it's a land covered in snow and ice.
Yeah, it's a terrifying place.
Not only that, countless warriors and bounty hunters have perished on the perilous path there!
Scary!
Not me, though! I've made it there!
'Cause I got me a special shortcut!
A shortcut... to Helheim?
Oops.
My apologies.
Such an unusual design.
Are you from another land?
Are you lost, perchance?
I've already found a guide, actually.
Yo. Took you long enough.
Find your horse, Hammer Head?
My name is Kaisar!
I'll take that as a "no."
Too bad. It was a nice horse.
Indeed.
Barina Chall Lidfard was all that remained of my family fortune.
And, once again...
You took that away from me!
Favaro!
Now, now, now!
Don't be like that, man.
Hey, everyone! This guy's way richer and more charitable than me!
Let's all accept his generosity tonight!
Hold on!
Really?
That's wonderful!
Come drink with us!
Pardon me. Please move aside.
Oh, you're a real hunk!
I just love knights! They're so cool!
You ladies are too kind.
Favaro!
Man. He just never knows when to give up, does he?
You, there.
What the hell?! Can't you see I'm—
Just hold your horses.
You're... a girl?
Weird. What's a nice girl like you doing dressed up like a guy?
Are you into that sorta thing?
Oh, where are my manners?
Do you know a shortcut to Helheim?
Huh?
You spoke of one at the pub.
Ah, so she heard that tall tale of mine, huh?
Tell me. I must find a way to Helheim.
You know of Helheim, yes?
Hmm, what to do...
Do I make something up or make a run for it?
I need to get there!
Are you listening to me?
Or should I...
Sure, I can tell you!
But it'll cost you, y'know.
What do you want?
Good question.
What I want...
is love.
Love?
Yeah. Like, say...
a passionate kiss.
A... kiss?
Found ya!
What the hell? Things were just gettin' good!
You are such a pest, Kaisar...
Huh? Wha...
Who are you?
I'm Ghos!
You're gonna pay for what you did to my kid brother Garth!
Ghos? Garth? Kid brother?
Ah. So that's why I only got half the reward.
Listen. Tell me how to reach Helheim...
Just sit tight. I got some unfinished business to take care of.
Then we can have our kiss.
Fool! The only thing you're gonna kiss... is Death!
It's so puny!
Oh, man!
Your kid brother managed to summon way better...
It's huge!
Tear them to shreds!
You got some serious power there!
You'd do well in the scrapyard industry!
Bastard.
My sword!
Run, you idiot! You're gonna get killed!
You're my guide. I need you.
Huh?
That's why I will take care of this.
What the...
A... demon?
Damn you. That was a dirty fight.
Faking me out with that tiny monster at first was way dirtier, if you ask me.
So, what about you two?
H-Hey! I haven't even done anything!
Yikes!
Ow, my neck.
A... demon?
I think I've had a bit too much to drink.
Man, that dream...
Oh, you're awake. Good morning.
Where am I?
The pub's attic.
I found you on the ground outside.
Hauling you up here was no easy task!
Don't you remember?
Oh.
I guess I had too much to drink and got sick.
I had these really weird dreams, too.
I ran a bath. Rinsing your face might help you feel better.
Sounds nice. I think I'll wash all of me while I'm at it!
Whoa, don't stare. It's embarrassing.
A t-tail...
Tail?
Demon!
A demon?
Where? Where is it?
What the hell?!
Rage of Bahamut
This is bad! Real bad!
What is? What's bad?
I don't think I can say!
Huh?
On the next Rage of Bahamut: Genesis, "Escape from Livian."
No, you said it!
Oh, I did.

Let's Bahamut to the max again next week!
