For all eternity, the curtain of thousands of years of nights...
...stretches across the nostalgic eternal homeland.
The moment a knock is heard upon the gates of Heaven...
...the beginning of a new adventure will be proclaimed.
In the place where the mysterious meeting occurs...
...the black silence will be broken.
The gateway to the alternate world of El-Hazard...
...is opening once again.
Hey, Afura. Are you sure about this?
We agreed to it already, remember?
Yeah, but still...
I've never heard of going to a purification ceremony...
...with this many people in tow!!
But, are you sure it's no trouble?
Oh, there's nothing to be worried about! It's no trouble at all!
It's doesn't hurt to have guests every now and then.
Um... What kind of ceremony is the purification ceremony?
Oh, that's right. You've never been to one, have you?
I'm sort of uneasy about this...
Don't worry, you'll see!
You have nothing to fear.
I will teach you everything you need to know.
Lady Fatora is so slick!
That reminds me! That's where you and I had our fateful reunion.
Isn't that right, Makoto?
O-Oh, yeah...
That's also where me and Makoto first started out.
Yeah, whatever!
Back then, you treated Makoto like a pervert!
I-I wasn't the only one!!
Oh, yeah?
At least I didn't try to turn him into a lump of charcoal like you did!
Isn't that right, Makoto?
Say what!?
Oh, yeah!?
E... Excuse me...
Yeesh... First the cruiser gets broken...
...and then we have to walk through the desert...
We're not off to a good start.
It's your fault.
W-What are you talking about!? This time, it was her!
That is enough!
This is the sacred spring of Arliman! Take your squabbles elsewhere.
By the way, Afura... Where is Qawoor?
She's still out like a light.
Miz is attending to her right now.
Oh... That's a shame.
But what a wonderful bath this is!
This is the best thing for a tired body.
It makes me sting all over!
Whoever named this the purification ceremony sure knew their stuff!
It's so purifying!!
Well, are you calm now?
I'm sorry... I broke such a valuable cruiser...
There's no need to worry. It happens all the time.
Miss Miz! I'll be fine!
You should go attend the ceremony!
O-Oh? I should?
All right, maybe I'll allow myself to take a dip...
I mean, go take a short ceremony.
What do you think, Alielle?
They will never suspect that it is actually us.
This is an excellent plan, Lady Fatora! These are the perfect disguises!
So I guess this is the mens' section...
Oh, there's nothing wrong with it.
This means now we can go in without worrying about anything.
Hey, Makoto. Have you seen Parnasse anywhere?
Oh. If you're looking for Parnasse, I think he's in the ladies' section.
S-Say what!?!
That is out of the question! Out of the question, you hear!?
Why is that? Parnasse is a child.
I don't see any problem with it, personally.
But... he's a man child.
You're worried about Miz, aren't you?
W-What are you talking about!?
I'm just concerned... as a responsible educator.
What the heck are those!?
This is reviving.
Hey, Miz. I bet you actually want to bathe with Fujisawa-sensei.
Ooh, you naughty girl!
I'll have to work on being able to bathe with Makoto, too...
H-Hold on a minute! What do you mean by that remark!?
Shayla, take your quarrels elsewhere.
Oh, hello, Sansuke! Long time, no see!
Will you scrub my back for me again?
Go on, now. Get your back scrubbed, too.
There's another to be scrubbed here!
Thanks, Makoto.
That's quite all right. You're always helping me out, after all.
Finally, I think I'm feeling relaxed.
Oh... No, not there!
H-Hey, no... Stop...
Makoto!! What could be going on!?
D-Don't ask me...
S-Stop it!
It's coming from over there...
No!
H-Hey... Are you really Sansuke?
Who else would I be?
Should you really be placing your hands there?
Pay no mind, pay no mind...
That's right, I got hitched!
Oh, d-don't!
H-Hey... Not there...
No!
S-Stop!
What on earth is going on over there?
I-I have no idea.
But, those voices are Nanami and Shayla, aren't they?
Hey, what are you doing? I-I told you that I'm fine...
Oh, no! That voice... It's Afura!
H-Hey... I said no...
Hey, it's the Lady Fatora!
Say what!?
That means...
Good afternoon!
Alielle!
I didn't realize...
You twits! How dare you!!
Really!! How dare you touch women of virtue!
The cat is out of the bag! Come, Alielle!
Yes, ma'am!
Hey, you!!
You shitheads!!
You're not going to get off lightly, just because you're a princess!!
O-Oh, no! It's an emergency!!
FUJISAWA POWER!
Ow, ow, ow...
Uh, hello...
Sweetie! Do you want to look at bathing women that badly!?
N-No, dear! It's a misunderstanding!
If you want to view naked women that badly...
...I'll give you the eyeful you so desire!!
Excuse me, sensei... Are you all right?
- Makoto!! - Don't look!!
Sensei!!
Makoto, don't look!
As a responsible educator, I cannot allow you to look!
That goes for you, too!!
Why? Why!?
What the hell was that!?
You! Katsuo! What do you make of it?
What? You are glad I lost weight?
I do not care about that! What I want to know is...
...what kind of witchcraft did that blasted Makoto Mizuhara use...
...to instantly transport us back here!?
Lord Jinnai...
What in the world has you so worked up?
N-Nothing...
By the way, how shall we proceed with the plan?
The plan?
The plan to increase the numbers of Bugrom.
W-Well, actually...
Th-That's right!
I am now heading out to discover what Makoto Mizuhara is up to!
Everything must wait until that is done!!
Lord Jinnai...
Hey, you dogs! What the hell are you thinking!?
The preparations are all ready, and cannot wait.
All that remains...
N-No, this is no good!
I believe that relationships should begin on a strictly platonic level!
Katsuo, help!!! Do something!!
I'm so mad!
That Fatora isn't going to get away with what she did!!
I'm sure she regrets her actions...
Hardly!!
You have no idea how awful those two are!
At any rate, we have to be on our guard tonight.
I'll go check to see what they're doing.
Miss Nanami?
Don't you leave this room, you hear?
What do you think, Alielle?
This is the exclusive costume of the purification ceremony.
Ooh... It's so sexy!
Now for the finishing touches, Alielle!
Yes, Lady Fatora!
Let's go!
I've made up my mind! I'm going to settle this once and for all!
Settle what once and for all?
W-Well, it's... You see...
Well, what is it?
It... It's none of your business!
W... What?
What is that?
Who's there!?
He's fast asleep. But...
I wonder where Fujisawa-sensei went to?
Darn... Aren't there any lights in this place?
Oh, it's you, Qawoor. Don't scare me like that.
Mr. Fujisawa... Didn't you already retire for the evening?
Er... Actually...
I was wondering if there was any booze in this place...
Booze?
By the way, where are you headed?
Oh. Actually, I'm going to have my purification ceremony.
I see. It must be hard to stay up this late.
Well, be careful.
Yes, sir.
Wait a second. Isn't the purification ceremony?
Oh, well. Back to the booze...
Qawoor...
I just got through telling her not to leave the room...
Wh... Wh... Wh!??
She's not here.
We will search elsewhere.
Wh-What was that?
I'm sorry, Miss Nanami.
I simply have to perform this ceremony.
I think it involves meditating in the hot water like this...
Lady Fatora.
This is it. The most perfect chance Heaven could offer me.
Makoto!
Hey, Nanami. Did you see Fujisawa-sensei anywhere?
It's way past lights out...
Never mind that, there's trouble!
Qawoor has gone missing!
What's that!?
Qawoor Towles!
No! Your eyes must remained closed.
Yes, ma'am!
Excuse me, but... Who are you?
I am the great priestess in charge of the purification ceremony.
I will instruct you in the ways of the ceremony.
Yes, however... I was told that the purification ceremony...
...only involved meditating in the spring.
Th-That is a privilege only reserved for veteran priestesses!
Oh! I didn't know!
But, your voice sounds sort of shaky, great priestess...
You! Do not voice matters that are none of your concern!
That aside, I will now cleanse you of your sins!
Yes, ma'am.
That was definitely a sneak thief! I'll catch him!
By the way, Shayla, what is it you're going to settle?
Who cares about that!?
It's probably taboo to touch the offering wine...
...but I can't get to sleep at a hot spring while I'm sober.
Fujisawa-sensei!!
You two!
Honestly! What are you doing!?
Did you see Qawoor anywhere, Sensei?
Yeah, sure. If you want to find Qawoor, she'll be in the bath.
She said something about her purification ceremony.
The bath?
Oh, no! But there's something weird running around out there!
That's it. Come to me.
Lady Fatora... My legs have gone numb!
Stop that! We're almost there!
B-But, I'm at my limit!
Alielle, keep us steady!
I can't!
Lady Fatora!
Oh, I don't care anymore! Alielle!
Yes, ma'am!
No!
Damn! We're too late!
As a responsible educator, I have committed a horrible blunder!
There's no time! Makoto, go!!!
Don't be so tense.
Just leave everything to me.
Master Makoto?
You saved me, didn't you!
Qawoor, I'm glad you're all right.
Makoto!!!
What the hell do you think you're doing!?!
Huh?
I guess this means it's settled.
Darling!! What are you doing with this wine!?
This is the offering wine for the temple!!
Er... Uh... I haven't drunk any of it yet!
That is not the point!!
Out with it!!
What the hell were you two doing just now!?
Doing? What are you talking about? I was just...
Master Makoto?
Argh! How long are you going to stay like that!?
Oh, give it up already!
I've never been so ashamed!
A former priestess married to an offering wine thief!
Nanami! This is all just a big misunderstanding!
Y-You're wrong, Ms. Miz! I-I-I bought this elsewhere!
Oh, and you're saying you went out in the middle of the ceremony!?
Makoto!!!
Still, it really was a wonderful purification ceremony...
Now, now. Take your fighting elsewhere.
How did all this happen!?!?!
If you kiss, does your head turn into mush...
...and melt? Quit scaring me! No way!
Really, really, really?
But you know, if I got myself a boyfriend...
...I would observe him day and night.
After all, I'm an enthusiast.
I'd become a honey soufflé, all light and fluffy...
I want to be cooked up all nice and bubbly, love mania.
I wanted to be a girl who knows nothing but love.
Let's have a love fraught with perils.
I'm feeling all roses, what'll I do? Everyone's got love mania!
Love is love is love is love, a real bad case of love mania.
Love is love is love is love, one more day of love mania.
Love is love is love is love, neverending love mania.
Love is love is love is love, romantic love mania.
