The rascal has awakened...? p.17 Shinnosuke: Seconds. Shinnosuke: You're a genius at cooking, aren't you. Akane: I'm glad, eat your fill. Grandpa: R-Really...

Grandpa: Th-The water's run dry in the well... Akane: Wh-What's the matter, Grandpa? Grandpa: The wounds on Shinnosuke's back... You saw, didn't you? Akane: Eh... Yes.

Akane: Ehh?! Shinnosuke: ...What did I come here for? p.21 Part 2 - Water of Life p.22 Akane: What do you mean "Shinnosuke will die," Grandpa?! Grandpa: That Shinnosuke has managed to live until today... Grandpa: ...is thanks to the water of life... Akane: Water of life? p.23 Grandpa: This place, you see... Originally, it was an ordinary rare beast zoo... Grandpa: And I was a common zookeeper. Grandpa: But, one day... Grandpa: One platypus escaped. Grandpa: The platypus was found right away. Grandpa: Because... Grandpa: It had grown up splendidly, and came back to rampage around. p.24 Grandpa: In that confusion, the rare beasts who escaped also... Grandpa: One after another, they grew huge, and began to live in this forest. Grandpa: The cause of their growing huge is a spring that bubbles up in this forest... Sign: Water of Life - Effects: Rare Beasts Grow Well Akane: Why deliberately build a rare beasts zoo in a forest with such a dangerous spring bubbling in it...? Grandpa: To return to our original subject... Akane: You built it without planning, didn't you? p.25 Grandpa: (2) Since then, Shinnosuke and I came to supervise the forest, so as not to let the rare beasts go out into the village and do harm. Grandpa: And, that day of fate... Grandpa: Sh-Shinnosuke! What are these big wounds?!! Akane: The wounds from when he saved me... Grandpa: The doctor also despaired. (NOTE: despaired = "saji o nageta," lit. "threw the/a spoon") Caption: Doctor Caption: Spoon Grandpa: Like this, Shinnosuke would die!! p.26 Grandpa: I was grasping at straws... Grandpa: I gave Shinnosuke the water of life... Grandpa: A miracle occurred... Grandpa: Shinnosuke, you woke up--!! Grandpa: In an instant, Shinnosuke became healthy. Grandpa: But... Grandpa: Whenever he stops drinking it, headaches, a sense of lethargy, getting dizzy when he stands up, etc... Akane: S-So, Shinnosuke... Grandpa: Yes, if there is no water of life, his body can't live... p.27 Shinnosuke: That's it! Shinnosuke: I came to get water!! Shinnosuke: Hm?

Grandpa: If he dies right away, I just can't understand it. Akane: B-But, isn't there a way to save him?! Grandpa: There is, but... It's close to impossible. Akane: Tell me, Grandpa!! Akane: I'll do anything!! Akane: So... p.32 Akane: Shinnosuke, for my sake... Akane: This time, it's my turn to save Shinnosuke!! Ranma: For some reason, he fell over. Grandpa: Sh-Shinnosuke!! Akane: Shinnosuke!! p.33 Grandpa: Hang on--!! Akane: Ranma... Ranma: I shouldn't have to say this, but I didn't beat him up. Akane: I know. Akane: Thanks!! Ranma: Eh...? Shinnosuke: Uh... Akane: Shinnosuke, are you awake?! Grandpa: Listen, tears are taboo. Akane: Smiling face, right? Grandpa: Shinnosuke!! Akane: Shinnosuke... p.34 Grandpa: WAHH---, you POOR GUY--... Shinnosuke: What's wrong, Grandpa? Akane: Don't cry--!! Ranma: Wh-What is this feeling of being distanced...? Ranma: At any rate, because I'm going home, already. Ranma: Because I won't come and get you a second time. Ranma: All right? Akane: Yeah... p.35 Akane: I... Akane: I'll be with Shinnosuke... Ranma: Huh...? Akane: The truth is, Ranma, I have a reason for this... p.36 Akane: Ranma...? Ranma: Why, why? Ranma: Why, why, why, why? Ranma: Are you saying he's better than me?

Narration: The catastrophe of the forest was certainly progressing... p.37 Part 3 - In the Tree-Shade of the Forest p.38 Grandpa: The fact that the well of the water of life has dried up... Grandpa: Probably, the other springs of life, too... Akane: Are there many? Grandpa: A few, through the underground water veins of the forest...

Grandpa: Completely destroyed...? Shinnosuke: How? Grandpa: It's unmistakable... That guy's blocking the source of the water of life... Akane: "That guy"...? p.43 Grandpa: Already there's not a moment to spare - We'll go and check the wellspring!! Akane: Yeah. Akane: Hm? Akane: Ranma's tent... Akane: Didn't he go on ahead...? Shinnosuke: Akane, let's go. Ranma: Wha--t's with that overly familiar attitude...? p.44 Shinnosuke: Because this area is full of traps I've set. Don't trip any. Grandpa: Hmph. Grandpa: While saying something... Grandpa: Casually holding Akane's hand... Grandpa: You ladykiller--!! Shinnosuke: Stop it, Grandpa. Akane: This is no situation for telling jokes.

Grandpa: There's something I must tell you... Akane: Th-That's... Grandpa... Akane: Hang on... p.83 Grandpa: From the first, there is a deep connection between the water of life and the Yamatano Serpent. Because, for some reason, the wellspring of the water of life is the Serpent's nest. Akane: Grandpa, weren't you going to die...? Grandpa: A strange moss grows on the Yamatano Serpent's body. Caption: Easy-to-Understand Diagram Label 1: <- Normally sleeping Grandpa: The essence of this moss dissolves in the water, becomes a spring, and bubbles forth. Label 2: When it wakes up, its heads get stuck and the wellspring is obstructed -> Grandpa: That's the real nature of the water of life. Grandpa: In the end, if we can get our hands on the moss from the Serpent's body... Akane: We can save Shinnosuke's life?! Ranma: Life...? p.84 Shinnosuke: I heard everything. Grandpa: WAH!! Shinnosuke: I'm going to die, aren't I? Grandpa: Sh... Akane: Shinnosuke... Shinnosuke: My life... How much more do I have? Grandpa: I don't know. Therefore, I did this to lure out the Serpent... Shinnosuke: Does it like apparitions? Grandpa: It likes beautiful women. Ranma: Women... p.85 Part 6 - The Serpent is Angry!! p.86 Sign: * Danger * Water of Life Wellspring Narration: The Yamatano Serpent was displeased. Narration: It had some bad premonition. Narration: That was the instinct of a wild beast. p.87 Narration: Some counterfeit thing was drawing near, to disobey it... Akane: I'll be the bait. Akane: The Serpent loves wine and women, doesn't it? Grandpa: Don't say it so simply. If you're bait, you'll end up being eaten. Akane: But isn't there nobody but me? p.88 Ryoga: Hey. Ryoga: Isn't there nobody but YOU? Ranma: ...What? Ryoga: Become a woman. Go and die. For Akane's sake! Ranma: Feh. Ryoga: You certainly were dumped by Akane. Ryoga: I, who was watching on the whole time, will tell you. I'll even dare to declare it. Akane's fallen for Shinnosuke. p.89 Ryoga: I'll watch over Akane. Ryoga: I know I've been decisively dumped... Ryoga: But I love her without regret... Ranma: Ryoga... Ryoga: I'm fine, even being dumped... Ryoga: I'm fine--, hey, hey, hey.

Ranma: Well... Even if you won't tell me, I can generally imagine it. Shinnosuke: It's a perfect plan! Shinnosuke: I won't put Akane in danger!! Shinnosuke: Hey, you. p.93 Shinnosuke: I'm called Shinnosuke. Nice to meet you. Grandpa: My grandson is terribly forgetful... Akane: What could it be... Akane: The forest is strangely quiet... Akane: The platypus...?! Akane: That huge platypus is getting small... Akane: It's because its supply of the water of life has been cut off!! Akane: If I don't hurry, Shinnosuke's life, too... p.94 Narration: The Serpent's premonition of a counterfeit grew rapidly stronger. Narration: An "enemy" was coming there at once. p.95 Grandpa: Well, you should think we're women, and come out to eat us!! p.96 Narration: The Serpent was enraged. Narration: It was only natural!!
