MAAM'S TURMOIL
Dai! Run!
He's paralyzed!
Stop!
Dai!
Why did you shoot Dai?!
Calm down! Look!
I can move!
I can move my body!
Damn you!
How can you move?!
What did you do?!
That was Tingle. A spell that cures paralysis and numbness.
I shot him with Tingle to help him.
We were interrupted...
but you merely extended your life a few moments!
Dai!
Dammit, what is that weapon?!
I know! Can you cast Crack?!
Sure! My Ice-type spells are unparalleled...
Forget the bragging! Load it into this bullet!
Huh? How?!
Press the stone at the top and cast the spell!
Hurry!
All right...!
Crackle!
Die!
Now!
The sun?!
How's that?!
You dare scar my face... No, my pride!
Remember this, Dai!
I swear I'll kill you! I swear it!
Dai! Are you okay?!
Popp...
Popp, how could you ditch me?
Um, that was...
So you really did abandon him!
This is my Magic Bullet Gun. It was a gift from Master Avan.
You load spells into the Magic Bullets and fire them.
Huh. So it's shoots attack and heal spells.
Oh, so you're a student of Master Avan, too.
That explains your strength.
How do you feel?
Much better. Your Midheal is better than Grampa's.
Hey, could I get a heal spell, too?
Here! Medicinal herbs!
What the hell! What's this difference in treatment?!
The difference between a Hero and a coward!
W-What?!
These clouds bode ill tidings.
I hope nothing's happened to Dai.
What is this terrible presence?!
You must be Brass, the Lump Shaman.
The Dark Army?! Impossible!
This island is protected by Sir Avan's Magic Circle!
Even when Hadlar breached it, there was a huge tremor!
How could anyone come in so easily?!
With my Mystic Magic Power it's mere child's play.
Who are you?!
I am the Mystic Bishop Zaboera.
Legion Commander of the Mystic Legion,
LEGION COMMANDER OF THE MYSTIC LEGION MYSTIC BISHOP ZABOERA
one of the Six Legions of the Dark Lord.
Gomechan!
Maam! Are you okay?!
Of course she is! Maam's tough like a monster!
A monster?
I-I mean, she's like a saint!
Very good.
Maam, who are they?
They're nobody suspicious, Elder.
They're Heroes fighting the Dark Army.
They are?
Come to think of it, Gomechan was the only one who never went crazy.
So your name's Gomechan! I'm glad you were reunited!
Maybe Gomechan has some power that blocks the Dark Lord's influence.
I'm just glad we're reunited. Thank you, Maam.
You're welcome.
Maam.
Oh, Mom!
Huh?
Allow me to introduce my mother, Leira.
H-Hello.
Mom, these two are Master Avan's students, too.
Oh, Sir Avan's?
You know Master Avan?
Of course she does.
Mom and my late father fought the Dark Lord with Master Avan.
What?!
It was a long time ago.
My husband was a Warrior and I was a Priest.
Together, we aided Sir Avan.
After the Dark Lord was vanquished and peace was restored,
Sir Avan visited this village once.
That's when he tutored Maam.
That was four or five years ago.
Wow, it's already been that long.
So, is Sir Avan well?
Huh?! Uh, er...
He's fine!
He's as lively as ever!
Dai...
I see. That's good to hear.
You should stay here a while after all.
I'd love to hear about Master Avan.
Uh, we wouldn't want to intrude.
Good idea. Please, stay a while.
We really shouldn't.
Stay! Stay! That way I get to play with Gomechan again!
I wanna play, too!
Me too!
The whole village welcomes any student of Sir Avan.
Most of the men have gone to protect Romos Castle.
So the rest of us protect the village together.
With you in the lead.
My father was a Warrior and my mother a Priest, so I guess I'm a Warrior Priest.
Master Avan taught me Healing and Support-type spells and some martial arts.
But I can't use attack spells...
So he gave you the Magic Bullet Gun.
Yes. At my graduation.
I'll never forget that day.
What's this?
Your certificate of graduation. An Insignia of Avan.
With this, anywhere you go, you're officially a protector of justice.
And this is a present from me.
A present?
Master, what is this?!
A Magic Bullet Gun. A great weapon that lets you charge and fire magic.
I made it based on research documents...
Master!
Huh?
I don't want this scary item!
I just want to be like Mom and Dad.
I just want to protect everyone in the village!
That's all.
Maam, you truly are a gentle soul.
But Maam...
there are times when love and kindness aren't enough to protect people.
Just as strength without justice is powerless,
so too is justice without strength.
Besides, not only will this weapon boost your attack,
but it can save people with Healing and Support-type spells.
It's all in how you use it.
Don't worry.
In your hands, this will never become power without justice.
I guarantee it.
Master Avan...
He was a little silly, but strong and kind.
He truly was a wonderful teacher.
Oh man. I suddenly miss him.
At first I thought she seemed boorish.
Now that I look at her, Maam's actually...
MAGIC BULLET GUN
BOOM EXPLOSION-TYPE SPELL
Pathetic! Disciple of Avan or not, I let that child best me!
Dammit!
I see you're in a bad mood, Crocodine.
Who dares?!
Not that I blame you.
Not after some mere children scarred you so.
Zaboera!
Good to see you, Beast King.
How did you know of my wound?!
The Heyedra, watchers of the battlefield, belong to my Mystic Legion.
There is nothing I do not know.
And? Have you come to laugh at me?
Learning of your plight, I've come to offer my aid.
You?! Offer to aid me?!
As a fellow Legion Commander.
I should go see the village elder.
What's wrong?
I need to ask him to load these bullets with attack spells.
The elder is the best spell caster in the village.
Huh.
In that case, I'll do it for you.
Really? Thank you!
Sure. Leave it to me.
Congratulations, Maam.
Popp hardly ever does anything for anyone.
Back me up a little, you moron!
Take care of that then. I'll go prepare dinner.
We can't tell her that Master Avan died.
Yeah.
But Master Avan really is amazing.
So many people admire him.
Yeah.
I should fill these up.
Popp.
I gotta go!
Huh? Where?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Dai!
What's his problem?
What?! You'd have me use such a dirty tactic?!
There's no dirty or clean in defeating an enemy.
Shut up!
I don't need your dirty help!
I'll fight him fair and square and win!
Are you sure?
That boy, Dai, cannot be underestimated.
Apparently he cut off Lord Hadlar's hands.
Besides, if you should happen to fail
you won't have a seat left in the Dark Army, Crocodine.
Lord Hadlar may be aware of Dai's power,
but what will the other four Legion Commanders say?
"So Crocodine, the Beast King,
was a fool who couldn't even kill a child."
H-How dare you!
It's for your own good. Use this.
You wouldn't want to lose your current position, would you?
It's to defeat Dai.
Take it.
I have a favor to ask!
Dai?
Please train me in magic!
I can't be saying I'm no good at spells when fighting the Dark Army!
It's true that I am the best Mage in the village,
but I'm not good enough to teach a student of Sir Avan.
Magic training?
I was only trained by Master Avan for three days.
What do you mean?
Elder, you can't let Maam or her mother know.
Master is...
Master Avan...
died.
What?!
He was protecting us from the Dark Army.
I have to get stronger! To avenge Master Avan!
I'm a disciple of Avan!
You can use this room.
-Okay. -Thank you.
Maam's shut herself in her room. I wonder what's wrong.
Master...
Master Avan...
Master...
Oh! Looking good this time!
Now cast it forth!
Frizz!
Another failure!
Not yet!
What?!
I did it!
He threw the fireball!
Well done, young Dai!
I did it!
I finally managed to do a spell on my own!
What does he mean?
Well, sometimes this mark lights up on his forehead.
When it does, he gets real strong and casts amazing spells,
but normally, he can't.
Crack!
He's pretty weird, huh?
A mark on their forehead... A crest?
The ones who can use any fighting skill or spell.
I've heard of such a race of ultimate knights, but...
He couldn't be.
Frizz!
Okay!
Talk about a forced spell. You can't call that a success.
Now, now. It just needs to hit his target.
He uses ingenuity to overcome weakness. He's a clever lad.
Okay. I can't get complacent!
Here goes, Dai!
Huh? You're leaving tomorrow?
Yeah.
You said you were going to Romos Castle. What for?
To help the king.
We heard he's being threatened by monsters.
I see.
Maam seems kind of down.
Listen, Dai, why don't we tell Maam the truth?
Huh? We can't!
But she might decide to join us.
But Maam has her duty to protect this village.
Even so...
I see.
What?
Popp, you like Maam, don't you?
W-W-What are you talking about?! W-Why should I like her?!
Liar. You're always staring at her!
I am not! Forget it!
Get to sleep! Goodnight!
Bye-bye, Gomechan!
Good luck out there.
Yeah.
Bye Maam. Thanks for everything.
I'm sorry. I really wanted to go with you, but...
That's okay. The elder gave us a map of the forest.
I see.
Goodbye! I promise to come back!
And I'll come, too!
They're good boys.
So young, yet they're standing up to the Dark Army.
What's wrong, Maam?
They're both risking their lives to avenge Master Avan, and yet...
I...
Maam, go on after them.
Mom?!
You want to help them, don't you?
Don't worry about us. Go on.
But...
I once left this village, too.
After I saw Sir Avan and your father fighting even when they were wounded.
That's right.
You're my daughter. It's in your blood.
Mom...
Maam, don't worry about the village.
I still have strength in me yet.
That's right! Go on!
We'll protect the village!
Go help Gomechan!
Everyone...
Thank you!
Is it this way?
Or this way?
You're like this even with a map?!
Dai! Popp!
Maam?!
Why?
Dai! Popp! I'm coming with you!
Hooray!
Good for you, Popp.
W-What are you talking about?!
I just figured she'd be useful in a fight!
Dai, Popp...
if you're both disciples of Avan, then I'm your senior.
So I'm going to carry on Master Avan's will and fight, too.
Maam?
Did you...?
You can tell me on the way.
It's this way!
Come on! Hurry!
I think she's going to be bossing us around.
That means she's reliable.
Let's just go!
Kindness is the magic of kind people
yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou
Then do I have no choice But to just be a normal person?

Unlike the today that I sought

I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment

With their new companion, Maam, Dai and Popp reach Romos Kingdom.
Meanwhile, seeking revenge on Dai, Beast King Crocodine attacks with an army.
Fighting his pride as a warrior,
Crocodine appears before Dai like a furious titan.
Next time on DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai,
"Furfang Full Assault"
The adventure continues!
