action

Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev are located in the town of Acassi , which is known for their specialty, octopus . However, the meat of the octopus is cursed so that whoever eats it can only speak the octopus language. Out of ignorance, Gourry also eats a cursed octopus. Even Amelia and Zelgadis appear and be afflicted with the curse. Gourry's, Amelia and Zelgadi's only way to be healed is through the magician Ruma and her master. However, it turns out that Ruma's master is also afflicted by the curse, so that Ruma has to learn the spell, but at first she fails.

To find out what the octopuses are up to, Lina, Gourry, Amelia and Zelgadis penetrate to the octopus headquarters and find out that the octopuses are gathering human anger to free a demon that was sealed many years ago. Lina then wants to destroy the vessel in which the demon is locked up, but is attacked by the curse shortly before the end of her spell and can no longer complete it. In this way, the octopuses can free the demon and are eaten by him "in gratitude" for it.

The situation seems hopeless when Ruma appears, who by a lucky coincidence managed to master the spell in time. Healed from the curse, Lina can use her strongest magical attack, the Dragon Slave , against the demon and thus destroy him. At the same time, she also manages to free the octopuses that have been eaten. After Ruma has freed all city dwellers from the curse, the people make peace with the octopuses.
