- Ranma #36 - Chapter 3: Saotomes Visit to the Grave (Page 38) Akane: Visiting the grave?! Ranma is...? Kasumi: They said there's a family grave around here. Nabiki: A wacky family like that having a family grave site... who knew. Akane: Yeah... Genma: Okay Ranma? We are going to start the Saotome's "Visiting-the-Grave" service. (Page 39) Genma: Let's show our ancestors how strong you are. Genma: Okay, go on. Ranma: Won't I get cursed or something? Ranma: That I have to punch the tombstone... Genma: This is how the martial art family should hold the service, Genma: And what the Saotome family's young man should do. Ranma: It's not my fault if I break it. Genma: That's the spirit. Go for it. Ranma: *Concentrating sound* (Page 40) Ranma: Hah! Genma: Oh?! Genma: That was wonderful, ancestors! That was a perfectly executed counter-attack. Ranma: You bastard! Ranma: What was that?! The grave attacking back like that! (Page 41) Genma: Hm?! Someone's coming. Hide Ranma! Nodoka: *Gasp*! Nodoka: Who could've done such thing... Ranma: . o O ( M... mother... ) Genma: What is your mother doing here...? Ranma: That's because that's our family's grave!! Genma: Let's get away from this place. Ranma: Okay. (Page 42) Nodoka: Hm? Nodoka: Oh my. Nodoka: Ranko-chan! Panda-chan! Ranma: Kyaa! Obasama! Nodoka: Oh, thank God. I didn't know what to do by myself... Ranma: What a terrible thing that happened here... (Page 43) Nodoka: Now then... Panda: Nodoka: This is a family treasure, that has been passed down in Saotome family for generations. Ranma: Family treasure?! Ranma: You just wanted to break into the grave and steal the family treasure, didn't you. Nabiki: Oh? Akane: Saotome obasama... (Page 44) Soun: Oh...? A family treasure? Nodoka: Yes. For generations, a young man in Saotome family has inherited it... Nabiki: They still haven't told her the truth?? Akane: I guess not... Nodoka: I wish I can give this to very manly Ranma... Panda: Ranma: Stop it! Ranma: Stop doing stupid things that might make her discover our secret. (Page 45) Nodoka: . o O ( Ranko-chan, Today, we met each other at my ancestor's grave... But, ) Panda: Ranma: Stop acting like a fool. Nodoka: . o O ( I don't know why, but something about Ranko-chan... It's as if I can see Ranma's shadow hiding in her. ) Nodoka: . o O ( If I'm near Ranko-chan... ) Man: Ack! I'm sorry. Nodoka: I feel as if I'm going to meet Ranma for sure. Ranma: Hohohohohoho. (Page 46) Nodoka: I'm sorry for intruding like this. Soun: What a coincidence... staying at the same inn... Nodoka: I wonder where Panda-chan went to. Panda: Ranma: You bastard. Still trying to steal it. (Page 47) Panda: Ranma: Interesting. Ranma: If you want to committ double suicide with me, then go ahead. Nodoka: Oh Ranko-chan, you were in my room... Nodoka: Ah! (Page 48) Nodoka: . o O ( That figure... it's Ranma!! ) Nodoka: . o O ( Ranma IS always near Ranko-chan... ) Nodoka: Ranma, please don't run away again tonight!! Ranma: . o O ( Ah! ) Ranma: . o O ( I accidentally took the family treasure. ) Panda: Ranma: Eh?! Ranma: It's not a time for this!! Ranma: Water. Ranma: Water. Nodoka: Ranma!! (Page 49) Ranma: Water faucet!! Ranma: Eh?! Sign: Nodoka: Ranma!! Ranma: . o O ( Water!! ) Ranma: . o O ( I'm saved... ) Ranma: A CAT!!!!! Nodoka: Ranko-chan. Nodoka: Wait! Nodoka: Ranko-chan, do you happen to know where Ranma is at...? (Page 50) Ranma: Ack. Ranma: Hot!! Voice: Kyaa!! A man!! Voice: Ranma. I will help you... Ranma: What?! Genma: Use this water to turn yourself into a girl. Ranma: Pop... Genma: I'll exchange this for the family treasure. Hurry. Ranma: Why... you... (Page 51) Nodoka: Ranko-chan, are you around here... Voice: Stop it!! Genma: Why you...! The water your father has brought from the bottom of his heart... Ranma: Shut up! Nodoka: . o O ( That was a young man's voice!! ) Voice: Ranma... Ranma... is that you?? Ranma&Genma: Lucky! It's a pond! Ranma&Genma: Yah! Nodoka: Ranma...! (Page 52) Nodoka: Ran... Nodoka: *Gasp*! Nodoka: D... dear!! Ranma: . o O ( W... what should I do... ) Chapter 4: Mr. and Mrs.Saotome meets each other Again (Page 54) Nodoka: Dear!! Ranma: . o O ( T... this is bad!! ) Nodoka: Dear?! Nodoka: Wait! (Page 55) Nodoka: Why?! Why are you running away?! Ranma: . o O ( Water, water. ) Nodoka: ...... Ranma: Hm?! Nodoka: Eeeei!! Nodoka: Dear! Genma: ...... (Page 56) Genma: Nodoka: Who are you trying to imitate? Genma: Eh? Genma: H... HUMAN! Ranma: . o O ( Fool. ) Nodoka: Dear, where is Ranma?! I want to meet Ranma! Make me able to meet Ranma!! Genma: . o O ( Hmm, now that she mentions it... ) Genma: . o O ( That bastard Ranma! He ran away to somewhere with the family treasure! ) Genma: Why you... what are you doing here?! Ranma: Do something quick! (Page 57) Nodoka: Who are you talking to? Genma: Genma: Anyway, Nodoka... Genma: It's been awhile since I last saw you. Genma: . o O ( Hurry Ranma. While I distract your mother... ) Ranma: . o O ( Okay. ) Ranma: . o O ( I'll leave this place to you, pop. ) Nodoka: Dear. Nodoka: Is there some kind of a reason as why I can't meet Ranma?! Ranma: . o O ( This isn't good. ) Ranma: . o O ( Water!! ) (Page 58) Genma: Ah! Ranma! Nodoka: Eh?! Nodoka: There's nobody there... Nodoka: Ranko-chan?! Woman: Oh, I'm sorry about that. Nodoka: What's wrong Ranko-chan?? Wake up... Nodoka: . o O ( *Gasp* ) Nodoka: . o O ( This is our family treasure... ) (Page 59) Nodoka: Why does Ranko-chan have this... Genma: Well, well... let me see that. Ranma: You bastard! Ranma: Why you... trying to run away at a time like this... Genma: Damn it, you regained consciousness. Nodoka: Ranko-chan. You know my husband? Ranma: Eh... Genma: First time meeting her. Nodoka: Now, dear. Nodoka: Where is Ranma? (Page 60) Soun: Hmmm... this is more than what Saotome-kun can handle... Akane: I guess it's just a matter of time before your secret is revealed as well. Genma: Certainly... Genma: ... I can't do this hanky-panky thing forever. Genma: I'll tell you the whole thing. To tell you the truth... Ranma: . o O ( Bastard, what are you trying to do... ) Nodoka: You're lying to me! Genma: But I didn't say anything yet!! Genma: Listen to me, Nodoka. Genma: Tonight, Ranma will certainly come to get this family treasure!! (Page 61) Nodoka: To receive this, Ranma is... Akane: Obasama, this family treasure... Nabiki: Is it something expensive? Nodoka: It's a medal our ancestor has received for winning the neighborhood's martial art competition. Nodoka: It's worth somewhere around 2000 yen. Nodoka: . o O ( Ranma... are you really going to come tonight?! ) Genma: . o O ( 2000 yen, ) Genma: . o O ( That's a lot of money. ) (Page 62) Genma: Ranma, what are you doing? Ranma: I have decided. Ranma: Like you said, I'm going to go and meet my mother. Genma: Why you... you're just trying to get that family treasure and sell it, aren't you! Ranma: That's what YOU are trying to do! Genma: If you want to get it, then you have to go through me... Ranma: Shut up! Ranma: Don't try to do things that'll make my mother upset!! (Page 63) Nodoka: Ranma... Nodoka: . o O ( Are you really... coming? ) Nabiki: What do you think? Akane: I don't think he'll come... Ranma: M... mother... Nodoka: R... Ranma?! Akane&Nabiki: Eh?! (Page 64) Genma: Mother, It's me... Ranma. Nodoka: Ran... Genma: Now, Genma: Give me the family treasure. Ranma: You bastard! Genma: How rude! Who are you?! Ranma: Why you... Nodoka: Dear. (Page 65) Genma: *Ack* Nodoka: You're my husband. Nodoka: You may fool anybody else, but you can't fool me. Genma: *Smirk*, you saw through my disguise. Nodoka: That's because I'm a wife of a martial artist. Nabiki: She didn't have to be a wife of a martial artist to notice that. Genma: ...then I guess staying here is a waste of time. Genma: Saotome's "Violent-Dad" technique!! Nodoka: Kyaa! Ranma: . o O ( Mother... ) (Page 66) Ranma: Are you okay?! Nodoka: Ranko-chan... Genma: Wahahahaha, I got the family treasure!! Ranma: Grrrr. Nodoka: Ahh!! Ranma: Don't worry, Ranma: I'll bring it back to you! Nodoka: Eh... (Page 67) Akane: . o O ( Ranma... ) Nabiki: . o O ( Don't comeback empty handed... ) Ranma: . o O ( That bastard... ) Ranma: . o O ( I'll never forgive him for this! ) Nodoka: . o O ( I don't know why, but... I feel as if... ) Nodoka: Ranko-chan... is like a man... Ranma: Where are you, pop?! Ranma: Hmm?! (Page 68) Ranma: Hah!! Ranma: Why you... Genma: Ranma. If you want to get the family treasure... Genma: Then get ready to change back!! Ranma: Hot water!! Nodoka: I heard a voice from over there... Akane: . o O ( I hope something strange isn't going on. ) Chapter 5: Mother's Suspicion (Page 70) Ranma: I'll bring back the family treasure!! Nodoka: . o O ( Why...?! Why is Ranko-chan so eager to do it... ) Ranma: You bastard... Genma: What are you going to do... make your move. (Page 71) Ranma: ...Getting hot? Genma: Damn... you... Genma: I'll take care of you quickly! Nodoka: Ranko-chan... Akane: . o O ( Hot water... ) Ranma: . o O ( Mother!! ) (Page 72) Akane: Guess who?? Nodoka: Let's see... Akane-chan?! Genma: Oh?! Genma: Hm?! Genma: Hm?! Genma: F... family treasure isn't here!! Nodoka&Akane: Eh?! Ranma: . o O ( *Smirk*, serves him right. ) Ranma: . o O ( It was his fault for getting near me. ) Hand up: (Page 73) Ranma: . o O ( Wait a minute... ) Ranma: . o O ( This is my one in a life time chance!! ) Ranma: Mother... I took this back from that evil pop. Nodoka: Oh Ranma... why are you so manly?! Genma: You ungrateful...!! Ranma: . o O ( ...Now then... ) Genma: Hm?! Ranma: *Concentrating sound* Ranma: Dadadadadadadadada!!! (Page 74) Ranma: *Smirk*, stay quiet for awhile. Nodoka: Where did Ranko-chan go... Akane: I don't know... Nodoka: . o O ( That's strange. ) Nodoka: . o O ( Akane-chan, are you trying to hide something from me... ) Voice: Mother...! Nodoka: Eh... Akane: . o O ( Ranma... ) Ranma: Mother...!! (Page 75) Nodoka: . o O ( Ra... Ranma?! ) Ranma: Mother...!! Nodoka: Ranma...!! Ranma: Mother...!!! Ranma: . o O ( Mother... ) Ranma: . o O ( At last, we are going to meet... ) (Page 76) Nodoka: In the well... Nodoka: Ranma...!! (Page 77) Nodoka: Ranma... Akane: I wonder if the watermelon got colder... Nodoka: Ranma... Nodoka: Not here... Nodoka: . o O ( But how...?! ) Nodoka: . o O ( I'm positive a young boy fell in the well... ) Nodoka: . o O ( *Gasp* ) Nodoka: . o O ( Footprints...?! ) Nodoka: . o O ( But these are... ) (Page 78) Nodoka: . o O ( What is the meaning of this...?! ) Nodoka: . o O ( Footprings leading away from the well... are small... ) Nodoka: ! Nodoka: This is... Nodoka: Saotome's family treasure... Ranma: I'll bring back the family treasure!! Nodoka: . o O ( Maybe these small footprints are Ranko-chan's... ) (Page 79) Ranma: Hah. Ranma: Hah. Ranma: Hah. Ranma: T... that was too close. Genma: How dare you tie me up like that...!! Genma: Give me the family treasure...!! Ranma: Y... you idiot!! Nodoka: . o O ( Just as I thought... ) Ranma: It's not the time for this!! (Page 80) Nodoka: . o O ( It seems as if the person who came out from the well was Ranko-chan... ) Nodoka: . o O ( If that's true... ) Genma: Ah, your mother! Ranma: Eh?! Genma: You fell for it! Ranma: Ack. Genma: Wahahahaha, did that hurt a lot, Ran... (Page 81) Akane: Obasama really IS there! Genma: Ack!! Akane: ...What the? Genma: She's not there. Genma&Akane: . o O ( Ranma is not here either...?! ) Nodoka: . o O ( Ranko-chan... can it be that you... ) (Page 82) Voice: Hmm... Soun: Where did Saotome-kun and the others go...? Nabiki: Hm?! Nabiki: Dad, look... Soun: Hm?! Nodoka: . o O ( Maybe Ranko-chan is Ranma... ) Nodoka: . o O ( That time... Akane-chan covered my eyes... ) Nodoka: . o O ( Because of the kettle... ) (Page 83) Nabiki: Isn't that a bad situation? Soun: I can't allow it!! Nodoka: That's strange... maybe it wasn't because of the kettle. Ranma: Oooh... Ranma: ! Ranma: Ahh!! Nabiki: Hm?! Kasumi: Empty... (Page 84) Nodoka: Ran... Nodoka: Ah... Nodoka: . o O ( Can it be that that child... ) Nodoka: . o O ( Fears the hot water... ) Ranma: . o O ( She found out!! ) Ranma: . o O ( Mother found out the secret!! ) Chapter 6: Ranma Seppuku (Page 86) Nodoka: Wait Ranko-chan! You are... Nodoka: Ranma, aren't you?! Ranma: No I'm not...! Nodoka: What... the... Ranma: Ah... (Page 87) Nodoka: Ran...ma... Ranma: M... Ranma: Mother...!! Ranma: ...... Ranma: I... it was a dream... Ranma: . o O ( Oh yeah... last night, when my mother put the kettle near me... ) Ranma: . o O ( I unintentionally ran away from her... ) (Page 88) Ranma: . o O ( But that means, ) Ranma: . o O ( If I meet her as a girl... ) Ranma: Ack. Genma: Can it be that you are heading toward to meet your mother. Ranma: It's no use to stop me, pop. Genma: If she finds out that you are a half woman... Ranma: Pop... Ranma: I'm... Ranma: Getting tired of pretending... (Page 89) Ranma: If you're scared to committ seppuku, then just run away by yourself. Later. Genma: . o O ( Why you Ranma... ) Genma: . o O ( Are you trying to kill yourself?! ) Nodoka: . o O ( It's possible Ranko-chan is... ) Nodoka: . o O ( Ranma... ) Ranma: I'll bring back the family treasure. Nodoka: . o O ( That's why for my sake, ) Nodoka: . o O ( He was eager to retrieve it... ) (Page 90) Nodoka: Letter in the arrow...? Kasumi: Ranma-kun is no where to be found... Nabiki: I guess the secret is out... Akane: . o O ( Obasama...?! ) Letter: Letter: (Page 91) Nodoka: What is the meaning of this?! Nodoka: Leaving for good... Ranma... Nodoka: Ra... Nodoka: Ranma?! (Page 92) Nodoka: Ranma...!! Nodoka: Kyaa!! Nodoka: Ah... Genma: Forgive me, Nodoka... Genma: You can't meet Ranma yet. Genma: Can you understand me? (Page 93) Akane: Then why are you searching her clothes for the family treasure while saying that to her?! Voice: P...o...p... Ranma: How dare you... Genma: Ra... Ranma... (Page 94) Genma: W... who did this cruel thing to you?! Ranma: You knocked me down and tied me up! Ranma: Don't try to stop me. Genma: Why you Ranma... Ranma: While she's watching, I'm going to use the hot water. Nodoka: Oooooh... Genma: I can't let you do that! Ranma: Ah! Soun: There was a way out. Akane: And he took the family treasure as well... (Page 95) Ranma: Stop right there, pop!! Ranma: Mother...! Wake up!! Nodoka: U...m... Nodoka: . o O ( Ranko-chan's... voice...?! ) (Page 96) Genma: . o O ( If she sees his transformation, then the trouble comes after that. ) Genma: . o O ( I can't let that happen... ) Genma: Eeeei! Ranma: Ack! Ranma: Why you...! Ranma: Where'd you go?! Nodoka: Ah... Nodoka: Dear! That was a young man's voice. Genma: It's just your imagination! (Page 97) Nodoka: . o O ( Maybe it's Ranma...?! ) Nodoka: Ranma...!! Is it you, Ranma...?! Genma: Eh! Ranma: Mother!! Ranma: Ack! Nodoka: Ranma...!! Panda: Ranma: Where are you...?! Nodoka: A girl's voice... Nodoka: This means... Nodoka: Dear, can that be Ranko-chan's voice? Panda: (Page 98) Genma: You're just hearing things. Nodoka: But... Ranma: D... damn it! Nodoka: It WAS a young man's voice... Nodoka: Look! Just look this way! Genma: Hm. Genma: Family treasure!! (Page 99) Genma: Eh?! Ranma: Mother!! Akane: Dad, over there! Soun: Oh?? Ranma: Mother...! (Page 100) Nodoka: . o O ( Ranma... is that you Ranma?! ) Ranma: Mother...!! Nodoka: Ranma... Akane: . o O ( If you go into the sea, then you will turn into a girl... ) Akane: . o O ( But you don't care, do you Ranma!! ) Chapter 7: Meeting and Parting. (Page 102) Ranma: Mother! I'm coming!! (Page 103) Nodoka: . o O ( Ranma... you're Ranma, aren't you?! ) Soun: But this means... Akane: They are both going to fall into the sea!! (Page 104) Ranma: . o O ( I have to save my mother!! ) Ranma: Eeeei!! Akane: Ah!! (Page 105) Ranma: Are you okay?! Nodoka: Ran...ma... Ranma: Mother... Nodoka: This isn't a dream... is it... (Page 106) Ranma: . o O ( I'm not going to run away after this... ) Ranma: . o O ( Mother is already... ) Ranma: . o O ( Suspecting that I'm a half woman... ) Ranma: . o O ( But still... ) Nodoka: Ranma... Ranma: Mother... Ranma: . o O ( But still, I wanted to meet her! ) (Page 107) Nodoka: Ranma...!! Ranma: . o O ( I wanted to meet you!! ) Ranma: Mother... Ranma: . o O ( I'm going to tell her, ) Ranma: . o O ( That I'm Ranko... ) Ranma: . o O ( I'm going to tell her now... ) Ranma: Mother... please listen to what I have to say... (Page 108) Ranma: To tell you the truth, my body is... Genma: That's my son... Genma: Good job, rescuing your mom like a real man... Nodoka: Dear... Nodoka: Bringing up Ranma to be this strong boy... Genma: Of course, that's what I promised you. Nodoka: He's really very manly... (Page 109) Genma: . o O ( Do you understand, Ranma? You can't disappoint your mother right now. ) Ranma: . o O ( M... maybe if I just stay quiet... she won't find out... ) Nodoka: Dear... Nodoka: Thank you so much!! Genma: Eh. Nodoka: Look out, Ranma!! (Page 110) Nodoka: . o O ( Ranko-chan... ) (Page 111) Voice: . o O ( I thought she'll forgive me if I show her my manly self... ) Nodoka: You didn't meet my expectation. Nodoka: Ranma! Dear! As you two promised, committ seppukus!! Nabiki: I guess the secret is out. Akane: Obasama... Nodoka: ...... Akane: Ranma didn't want to disappoint you, so... Nodoka: Is that why... (Page 112) Nodoka: I understand now. Nodoka: I don't know why, but Ranko-chan looked different somehow... Nodoka: . o O ( And that time, ) Ranma: I will bring back the family treasure!! Nodoka: Ranma looked manly enough. Nodoka: This child is a man. Soun: Okusan, does this mean... Akane: Ranma doesn't have to committ seppuku?! (Page 113) Soun: You must be so happy, Ranma-kun. Kasumi: I guess he's having a dream about his mother. Nabiki: It doesn't look as if he is though. Genma: Wahahahaha! Finally, the family treasure is mine...!! Man: Oh, family treasure. Let me look at the contents. Genma: It's a championship medal that has been handed down for generations from my ancestors. Man: This pawn ticket is? Ranma: *Smirk*, Ranma: What a man. (Page 114) Ranma: Wait, do I look more manly from this angle? Voice: RANMA! Looking at yourself in front of the mirror isn't a manly thing to do!! Ranma: Ack!! Akane: Wasn't that a good imitation of obasama's voice? Ranma: A... Akane... Ranma: I... it was just an imitation of my mother... Ranma: I thought it was a wild boar screaming with pain or something... but now I see what it was. Nodoka: Oh, you were in here. Akane: Oh yeah Ranma, your mother is coming. Soun: So, Okusan... what are you up to today...? Nodoka: Well, to tell you the truth... Ranma: You idiot. Akane: What do you mean?! (Page 115) Ranma: Because of you, my mother almost saw some untrue side of me. Akane: Whatever side she sees of you, it's all the same. Ranma: Fat girl!! Akane: What'd you say?! Nodoka: You two have such a good relationship. Ranma: Eh... Akane: ...Do you think so? Nodoka: Akane-chan, from now on, don't hesitate to come over and play with him. Since you're Ranma's fiancee. Akane: Eh...? Soun: Um... Okusan... Nodoka: Thank you for looking after him for such a long time. (Page 116) Nodoka: I finally met him, so... Nodoka: Tomorrow, I'll take both Ranma and my husband back home. Ranma: . o O ( T... take me back... ) Akane: . o O ( Ranma is leaving...?! ) Chapter 8: Ranma, Leaving the Tendou House. (Page 118) Nodoka: We'll meet tomorrow morning to leave. Nodoka: So properly say good bye to everybody in this household. Ranma: . o O ( This is all too sudden... ) Ranma: . o O ( I'm not ready yet... ) Letter: Ranma: Hey, what's with this letter?? Genma: I'm going to go on a trip. (Page 119) Genma: I will train everyday freely, Genma: So I can become a good "kateejin" (family man)... Ranma: ...You already look like it. Genma: That's a 'kaseejin" (Martian)! Soun: Saotome-kun, what do you think you're doing?! Nabiki: It's okay, isn't it? She won't mind as long as she returns with Ranma-kun. Kasumi: Nabiki, don't say things like that. Soun: Well, that's true. Nabiki: Well, we are all going to leave, so... Ranma: Eh. Kasumi: If you were going to go on a trip, then come with us... Genma: Eh. Soun: Ranma-kun, please take care of yourself. Ranma: Um... (Page 120) Ranma: . o O ( N...nobody is trying to stop me... ) Ranma: . o O ( Isn't there anybody who cares as what happens to me?! ) Nabiki: Oh yeah, Ranma-kun. Nabiki: Please comfort Akane. Nabiki: She's trying hard not to cry about this parting. Ranma: Akane is? Ranma: ...You're lying, right? Nabiki: *Smirk*. Nabiki: Please try to understand. Nabiki: The person who's the most lonely right now is Akane. (Page 121) Ranma: . o O ( Is... is that true, Akane... ) Ranma: . o O ( Oh, of course... of course... of course... ) Ranma: . o O ( Actually doing something cute, Akane. ) Kasumi: You said Akane is crying... Nabiki: Of course that was a lie. (Page 122) Akane: . o O ( I should look cheerful about him leaving... ) Akane: . o O ( It's not as if we're not going to meet each other again. ) Ranma: . o O ( I... I don't know why, ) Ranma: . o O ( But my voice won't come out... ) Ranma: Don't cry, Akane. You're acting foolish. Akane: *Gasp*, Ranma... Ranma: It's no use crying, thinking about the parting. Akane: Parting... please don't say such a sad word. (Page 123) Ranma: Because it's... it's also breaking my heart!! Akane: Please don't go, Ranmaaaaa!! Ranma: Stop holding me back! Akane: ...... Ranma: Ack! Ranma: You... you know... this was all too sudden, so... Akane: I know... (Page 124) Akane: Now I think about it... I should've expected something like this from the beginning. Akane: You must be glad, Ranma. Akane: You're going to live with your mother. Ranma: Eh? Ranma: Well, that's true. Akane: I guess that's the best for you. Ranma: O... oh, is it. Akane: Ranma... Akane: Can it be that... Akane: You don't want to leave? Ranma: EH?! That's impossible! Akane: ...... Akane: ...You're right... since you have no feeling what so ever. (Page 125) Ranma: Even if you keep on crying, I'm not going to change my mind. Akane: Don't worry, nobody's going to stop you. Ranma: I'm so glad that I don't have to look at some uncute face from tomorrow on. Akane: Well then, don't wait for tomorrow... Akane: But why don't you just leave right now?!?! Soun: Who's idea was it...? That if we leave them by themselves, then they'll naturally make up with each other? Kasumi: It was your idea, father. Nabiki: Ojisama, aren't you going to go on your trip? (Page 126) Nodoka: Ranma, you didn't forget anything, did you? Soun: Good bye Ranma-kun... Kasumi: Come back anytime to play. Nodoka: Oh? Nodoka: Where is Akane-chan...? Akane: . o O ( What's with that Ranma. ) Akane: . o O ( I don't even want to even look at his face! ) (Page 127) Ranma: Let's go, mother. Nodoka: Eh... okay... Ranma: ! Ranma: . o O ( Akane... ) Akane: ...... Window: Sign: Nodoka: Is it really okay that Akane-chan didn't see you leave...? Ranma: It's okay. (Page 128) Soun: Saotome-kun, why are you still here... Kasumi: Obasama forgot to take him with her. Ranma: *Sigh*... Ranma: . o O ( I didn't want to say goodbye like that... ) Ranma: Oh well, she was uncute anyway. Nodoka: Dear... Ranma doesn't look very manly right now. Panda: (Page 129) Voice: Akane, Akane. Akane: Deliver some stuff...? Kasumi: Yes, it's Ranma-kun's laundry. I forgot to give it to him... Nabiki: Why don't you make up with him afterward? Akane: I... I don't really... Akane: I guess I don't have any choice. Akane: . o O ( But... I didn't want to say good bye like that... ) Akane: . o O ( Yeah, if I talk to him after we meet... ) Akane: . o O ( Maybe we still can... ) Ranma: Akane is...?! (Page 130) Nodoka: That was a phone call from Kasumi-chan. She said Akane-chan is coming here... Ranma: Oh... Ranma: I see. Ranma: . o O ( *Smirk*, that Akane... ) Ranma: . o O ( She has more guts than I thought... ) Nodoka: Oh my... Nodoka: Ranma, I think she's here. Ranma: Oh well. Kodachi: Hohohohohoho!! Ranma: Ko... kodachi, what are you... Kodachi: I heard the news, I heard the news. (Page 131) Kodachi: That you were kicked out by Tendou Akane! Ranma: D... don't be ridiculous! I told her to get away from me! Kodachi: Oh, Tendou Akane. Ranma: A... Akane, Ranma: Don't misunderstand. This is... Kodachi: ...I thought it was her, but it's Shampoo and Ukyou. Shampoo: I brought some noodles. Ukyou: I came to hang around... Akane: Excuse m... Voice: Ranma, why are you acting so awkwardly? Voice: Perfect time for me to introduce myself to my mother. Nodoka: Oh, Ranma's friend? Kodachi: It's more than just a friendship, mother. Ranma: What are you girls doing here at a time like this... Ukyou: Time like this...? (Page 132) Shampoo: What kind of time is it? Ranma: Nothing... Akane: . o O ( *Smirk*... ) Akane: . o O ( I'm not going to intrude on him... ) Akane: Let's go back. Akane: Ah... Akane: ...... Nodoka: Ranma, Akane-chan is late. Ranma: I don't know why... Ranma: But I have a feeling she went back already... Chapter 9: Present from Mother (Page 134) Ranma: Well, gotta go to school... Nodoka: Wait Ranma. Nodoka: Please make up with Akane-chan. It's making me worry... Ranma: ...... Ranma: It's no use to try to stop me! Akane: Why don't you just leave right now?! Nodoka: I feel as if it's my fault that you two are separated like this... Ranma: *Smirk* (Page 135) Ranma: Don't worry, mother. Ranma: Rather than mooching off that uncute girl's family... Ranma: It's better for me to stay near you and do my duty as a son... Ranma: So... Nodoka: I found it, I found it. It's this. Ranma: . o O ( ...She didn't hear me. ) Nodoka: Nodoka: Ranma: . o O ( What the heck is this...? ) Voice: What a cold person Ranma-kun is... (Page 136) Akane: ...... Boy #1: Hey, long time no see. Boy #2: You look burnt... Nabiki: He didn't even write to us once after he left. Akane: It's quieter now, so it's okay. Akane: . o O ( I'll meet him everyday in school, so... ) Akane: . o O ( I don't really care... ) Ranma: . o O ( I wonder if she's still... ) Ranma: . o O ( Mad at me... ) Ranma: Yo, Akane. Nabiki: I guess he doesn't care what happens to you. Ranma: I don't really want to do this, but... Ranma: My mother told me to give you this, so... (Page 137) Ranma: Wait... Akane: I don't really care... Nabiki: Oh, really. Ranma: Akane... Nabiki: I guess it's over between you two... Akane: Ah, shut up! Ranma: AKANE!! Akane: Eh... Kunou: Tendou Akane!!!! (Page 138) Akane: . o O ( The voice I heard right now sounded like Ranma's... ) Ranma: Ah! Ranma: Look out! Ranma: Hm? Ranma: A ring...? Nabiki: What is it Ranma-kun, asking me to meet you at a place like this. Ranma: This... (Page 139) Nabiki: Hmm. Nabiki: Gold plated, huh. Nabiki: It looks cheap, but since you are giving it to me, I'll take it. Ranma: Who said I was giving it to you?! Nabiki: To Akane? Ranma: It's from my mother... Nabiki: Ranma-kun... Nabiki: If it's a ring from your mother to her future daughter-in-law... that means... Nabiki: This is like an engagement ring!! Ranma: En... engagement ring...?! Hand up: Nabiki: Is it okay? Wouldn't you rather give it to her yourself? Ranma: ...... Ranma: *Smirk*, Ranma: Aren't you exaggerating a bit? (Page 140) Nabiki: I guess I am. Well then, I'll give this to her. Ranma: Waaah! Wait, wait, wait, wait!! Girl: Ranma-kun? He's over there... Akane: Thanks. Akane: . o O ( A moment ago... ) Akane: . o O ( He definitely yelled my name... ) Nabiki: It's Akane! Akane!! Ranma: Waaaaaah!! Akane: What the... Nabiki: Oh. Akane: ...... Akane: Hey... Ranma: . o O ( S... she was just exaggerating. This can't have that big of a meaning to it... ) (Page 141) Akane: Eh, this is for me?! Ranma: There's no special meaning to that, okay? Girl: Everybody! Ranma-kun gave Akane a ring!! Akane: Thanks... thanks, Ranma. Ranma: S... so ... about that special meaning... Boy: Special! This ring has a very special meaning to it!! Akane: Ranma!!!!! Ranma: Waaaah! Akane: Hm? Ranma: Stop bothering me!! Akane: Wh... what the... Ranma: I... I can't give this to her personally. (Page 142) Nodoka: Ranma: . o O ( Since it was her wish, I guess I can't just give up... *sigh*... ) Ranma: Okay. Note: Happousai: Hm?! What are YOU trying to do at a place like this?! Ranma: That was what I was going to ask you, you fool!! Akane: Hey, what are you doing? (Page 143) Akane: Kyaa!! Akane: A smokescreen... Akane: Hm? Map: Akane: What's this about anyway. Gosunkugi: Finding this while burying a cursed doll... Akane: Who are you trying to imitate here?! (Page 144) Ranma: . o O ( Damn... it... I guess I have no choice... ) Note: Akane: . o O ( What is it this time... ) Akane: Ranma...? Nodoka: Akane-chan... Akane: Eh...? Akane: O... Akane: Obasama...? Nodoka: I called you here, because... Nodoka: I have something I want to give you, Akane-chan. Akane: Eh...? (Page 145) Nodoka: It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Ranma. Nodoka: It's a personal thing from me. Hohoho. Akane: B... but... Akane: Right now, I can't... Akane: I'm not in a friendly term with Ranma yet... Nodoka: Like I said before, this has nothing to do with Ranma. Akane: That's not what I meant. Akane: I'm happy about what you are trying to do... Akane: But... Akane: I have to make up with Ranma first... Nodoka: So what I'm saying is... Ranma: You have to take this first in order for the situation to progress!! Akane: Eh? (Page 146) Ranma: ............ Akane: ............ Akane: Are you... trying to make fun of me...? Ranma: W... what is it?! You wanna fight...? Akane: ............ Ranma: Hm? Akane: Hey... Ranma... Akane: Our... (Page 147) Akane: Relationship is different than before. Akane: We don't see each other except at school. Ranma: Eh...? Ranma: That... that's not... Akane: So... Akane: I'm not saying that I want to make up with you forcefully, but... Ranma: Wait a minute. Who said I want to make up with you? Akane: So... Akane: Stop doing things to annoy me!! (Page 148) Ranma: Damn it... Ranma: . o O ( ) Ranma: . o O ( That Akane... ) Ranma: . o O ( What was she trying to say... ) Nodoka: Oh, Ranma... welcome hom... Ranma: M... mother... this isn't what it seems like... Nodoka: Ranma... you're wearing female clothes... Nodoka: Ranma!! Ranma: . o O ( Damn it! I'll make her say that she absolutely wants this!! ) Chapter 10: Wear the Ring!! (Page 150) Akane: . o O ( I don't understand... ) Akane: *Sigh*... Akane: . o O ( I wonder if Ranma doesn't want to make up with me. ) Nodoka: Akane-chan. Akane: Ah, obasama. Akane: Eh... a present? Nodoka: Did you like it? It's something I used to use. Akane: Um... which one are you talking about... Nodoka: ...You didn't receive it yet? Akane: ...... (Page 151) Nodoka: That's strange. I asked Ranma to do it... Ranma: Okay. Ranma: *Concentrating sound* Ranma: Ouch! Ranma: Ouch! (Page 152) Ranma: *Smirk*, perfect. Akane: Wh... what's wrong Ranma?! Ranma: I... I can't make it... this... is from my mother... Akane: Oh, obasama's ring?! Ranma: It was misunderstood as an engagement ring by the others. (Page 153) Akane: If I take it now, then I guess there won't be any more fighting because of this misunderstanding. Ranma: So... you understand... Ranma: Yeah, that's a perfect scenario. Akane: . o O ( That Ranma... ) Akane: . o O ( It's just a present from obasama... ) Akane: . o O ( Why is he taking so long to give it to me... ) Nodoka: Akane: I wonder what it is... Ranma: . o O ( Ah! ) Ranma: Aka... Ranma: . o O ( Hm?! I sense danger!! ) (Page 154) Kunou: Saotome Ranma!! Ranma: Eh?! Ranma: Wh... what do you want, Kunou?! Kunou: Why... you... Nabiki: I'm sorry Ranma-kun. I told him about the engagement ring. Kunou: Good thing I heard it. Ranma: Nabiki... Kunou: I will destroy that unforgivable item with my sword!! Ranma: It's not something you should interfere with!! (Page 155) Ranma: *Smirk*, that'll teach you. Ranma: I'll say it again... Ranma: This doesn't have that special kind of meaning... Akane: What isn't? Ranma: T... the thing is... Akane: Hm?! Akane: What's with those lipstick marks?! Ranma: Listen to what a person has to say!! Akane: What is it?! Nabiki: Eh?! What, Kunou-chan?! Kunou: ...... Kunou: That's a "kon-yaku-yu" (engagement ri)... Ranma: No it isn't!!! (Page 156) Akane: Ko... Akane: "Kon-nyaku-yu" (Hot jelly like water)...? Ranma: What are you talking about?! Akane: You're talking about this, right?! Akane: Obasama wanted me to have it, right?! Akane: So give it to me right now! Ranma: Eh...? Ranma: ...You want it? Akane: I'll take it! Ranma: *Smirk*... Ranma: . o O ( This is different than what I had in mind, ) Ranma: . o O ( But finally... ) (Page 157) Kodachi: You can't let her have it! Ukyou: I heard everything, Ran-chan! Ranma: Eh. Nabiki: I'm sorry, I told them. Ranma: Do... don't misunderstand this... Kodachi: Don't try to hide the truth from me. Ukyou: That's a "Kon-yaku-yu" (engagement ri)... (Page 158) Ranma: No it isn't!!! Ukyou: Ah! Kodachi: Don't run away! Akane: Wait... Kodachi: Eeei! Ranma: Ah! Kodachi: Hohohohoho! I got it! Ukyou: Oh... Ukyou: Nice going! Kodachi: Ah! (Page 159) Akane: What is this anyway... Shampoo: I got it! Ranma: Oh? Shampoo: Aiya! Kodachi: Ranma-sama, how could you. Ukyou: Hand it over!! (Page 160) Kodachi: Receive my attack of love! Ranma: Ah!! Ranma: . o O ( As long as I have this... ) Ranma: . o O ( They'll never leave me alone. ) Panda: (Page 161) Ranma: Pop... pass!! Ukyou: Don't move! Kodachi: That engagement ring is mine!! Shampoo: I'm going to take it! Akane: Not again... Akane: What is going on here? Akane: Ranma... Ranma: Take... this... (Page 162) Ranma: Damn it... anyway... Ranma: Okay, Akane? Ranma: Don't you misunderstand this as well. Akane: What do you mean? For a while now, you've been doing things that I couldn't understand... Ranma: That has absolutely NO special meaning whatsoever. Ranma: That's just from my mother... Ranma: ...... (Page 163) Akane: This makes me happy... Ranma: Eh...? Akane: Is it... Akane: Really okay for me to take this...? Ranma: Th... that's a... Ranma: M... my mother wanted you to... Ranma: I mean... Ranma: I... I also thought that maybe it'll look good on you... Akane: I wonder... if it will... (Page 164) Ranma&Akane: Hm...? Ranma&Akane: A lid...? Nodoka: That's my favorite medicine box. Nodoka: Women in Saotome family goes through so much troubles and hardships. Nodoka: Do you like it, Akane-chan? Akane: It's a nice design... Nabiki: So it wasn't a ring after all, Ranma-kun. Soun: Shampoo and the others destroyed the house?
