Don't Leave Home Without It

     The mazoku Lina and company were facing was tough. 
"Okay," declared Lina, "that does it! Here goes the Ragna-
Blade!"

     She prepared herself to cast, feeling the flows of 
mana, and began the incant. "MMFMFMF MFF MFFMF! MFMF?!?"

     Amelia saw what was happening, and reacted in an 
instant. Reaching into a pouch, she tossed a bottle to the 
red-haired sorceress. "Miss Lina, here!"

     "Thanks!" Taking off the cap, she started chugging. 
"Gaah, I always hated the taste. Now, mazoku, prepare to 
die!"

                       ***********

     Standing where the demon had once been, Gourry 
scratched his head. "I don't understand, what just 
happened."

     "It's okay, Mr. Gourry, you're not a spell caster, you 
wouldn't know," said Amelia.

     "Yeah," added Zelgadis, "how would you know Lina was 
out of Caster Oil ?"
