I'm home!
I got another great haul tonight!
Amazing! All these in only one night?
Master! The neighbors will be angry. Please go easy!
S-Soun. . .! I haven't much longer to live.
Would you rob a poor old man of his one and only pleasure?
How cruel! Do you enjoy tormenting an old man?
Do you, do you, do you?!
Master!
He's fine. He'll live for another three hundred years.
N-Nabiki!
I was going to give Nabiki a present, but forget it.
I'll give it to Akane, after all! Where is she?
Akane's--
In her room. All alone with Ranma.
W-W-What?!
You disappoint me, Akane!
Why take Ranma into your room when you've already got me?!
Get away from him!
What's the idea, barging into my room like this?!
Ow. . . You were wasting your time studying?
That's right.
Exams are coming up, but Ranma hasn't taken any notes.
So I was tutoring him.
Besides, why should I try anythin' with a tomboy like Akane?
If you did, P-chan would have saved me! Don't worry!
Right, P-chan?
Happy!
Quit impersonatin' weird animals!
There, there. Isn't Happy terrible?
Crud! What's with him, anyway?!
C'mon, Ranma, hit the books.
Let's quit, Akane. I can't understand this at all!
No, you've got to try!
Will you play by yourself, P-chan?
This is like this, see?
Oh.
See? Isn't it easy?
What's wrong, P-chan?
You're lucky. Ya never hafta study.
Just wag your tail and live high off the hog.
W-What's the idea?! You dirty--!
Stop it, Ranma! Don't hurt P-chan!
But he came at me first!
I'm sorry, P-chan.
If Ranma's mean to you again, I'll take care of him, okay?
P-chan!
I wonder what's wrong?
Akane. . .
Even if I can be close to you as P-chan. . .
you have a life that I can't share.
It's your life as a student. . .
studying, chatting with friends and playing sports in school.
School, those were the days.
Yes! Had I never met Ranma, my life might be different.
N-No! What'm I thinking?!
My purpose in life is to destroy Ranma Saotome! Only that!
What was I doing? I was nearly led astray by a silly dream.
I won't think of anything else! My mind is clear!
Ryoga + Akane
How are you, girls?! I'm fine!
Filthy wretch! Stop bothering these girls!
Dirty lech!
- You better not bother us again! - Get him!
Turn this way!
Don't underestimate us!
- Ryoga? - What're you doing here?
Thank you so much. You've helped us catch that pervert at last.
That's what you think!
Come back here, pervert!
What school do you go to?
I-I'm. . .
I wish we had a strong boy like you at our school.
Transfer over to our school!
Akane, you know this boy, don't you?
Tell him to come here!
Akane--!
Why not think it over?
Didn't you quit your own school because of Ranma?
If you want, why not take our school entrance exam?
Me? In the same school as Akane?
I see! Then. . .
my dream CAN come true!!
- What dream? - No. . .! It's nothing.
TENDO TRAINING HALL
Entrance exam?
That's right.
So I told Ryoga to stay with us and study for it here.
In other words, we've got one more freeloader?
Not that it matters.
The Anything-Goes School values scholarship as well.
We'll all support you, Ryoga.
Don't hesitate to ask for anything.
Thank you, everyone.
As P-chan, I have my run of the house. . .
but now I can live as Ryoga under the same roof as Akane.
Ryoga, you're a weird guy.
There's gotta be better schools. And Furinkan High, of all places!
The principal thinks he's the Big Kahuna.
And the girls are all dogs!
From now on, Rama. Study for exams by yourself, okay?
Come on, Ryoga. Let's study in my room, shall we?
Yes!
Excuse me!
Oww.
Should you ignore this, Ranma?
Akane's taking another boy into her room!
All alone with Akane. Don't you envy him? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Not much! If you're jealous, why don't you study with them?
Of course, I will.
I'll be young again with Akane!
Akane!!
OI' creep! Ain't you got no shame?!
What persistence!
Stop, pervert!
Don't you understand, Ranma?!
Ryoga must have snuck in to get to Akane!
Akane's in danger!
She's in worse danger from YOU!
See? What's that, Ranma?
Er. . . Ryoga, you're heavy.
Oh no! I'm so nervous, I began behaving like P-chan!
Ryoga! You're the lowest--!
Stop it, Ranma! Ryoga's studying now!
Ya call this studying?! He's--!
Oh, sweet!
Happy!
To find these treasures by coincidence! A godsend!
It was no coincidence!!
Hut, hut, hut! All mine!
Creep!
- Let go! - Lech! Cut it out!
Now, Ryoga, let's ignore them and study.
Ok!
You're not gettin' away--!
Oh. She locked the door.
I'm all alone in this room with Akane.
So this becomes x + y = 4.
Understand?
Yes.
Next problem. . .
- Um. . . - Huh?
Um. . . Why are you so kind to me?
Huh? Silly! We're friends!
F-Friends?!
Friends. . . Youth.
Ryoga. . .!
Ryoga?!
- Cut it out! - Cut it out!
Aaugh!!
- 'Morning! - 'Morning!
Will you please stop bothering us when Ryoga's studying, Ranma?
Tell ol' Happosai.
I couldn't care less about what you and Ryoga do!
Bleah!
Kasumi. . .
What's Ryoga doing?
When Akane's not home, he studies in the training hall.
Very diligent.
Hey. What do you want, anyway?
"Akane" "Akane" "Akane" "Akane" "Akane"
I'm gonna show everybody!
Give it back!
Want to fight? Fine, I'll take you on.
What's wrong? Don'tcha wanna fight?
What's wrong with him?
I can't study without Akane, after all.
Akane, I'd be happy in just a small corner of your school.
Let me study with you.
Excuse me, where's Furinkan High?
- Go straight and-- - Thank you.
W-What happened to you?
I finally made it!
Akane's already left with her friends!
Too bad, huh, Ryogaaaah?
Ranma! I've had it with your teasing!
Wanna fight?! Good!
Ryoga, I've got a great idea.
You need to concentrate on studying until you pass the exam.
So I'll tie up your hand to keep you from using martial arts.
Promise, now.
What a kind heart.
I can't break my promise to Akane.
What's wrong? Ryoga!
Hey! You gonna fight or what?!
You're actin' creepy!
- You're on your own! - Hey!
Hey!!
Ya wanna fight?! Make up your mind!
I don't know the way home.
Let me go home with you, will ya?
Silly!
It's ridiculous!
Ryoga, are you getting much studying done?
No, sir.
Ranma and Happosai keep bothering him.
I'm not the one, I tell ya.
I know! Let's study all night! All right, Ryoga?
What would you like for a midnight snack?
A pretty tutor and snacks, too? I envy you, son!
Ryoga! Hurry up! Come to my room!
Woe is me. I don't know where Akane's room is.
I could've been alone with her until dawn, too. . .!
"For Akane's Room Go THIS-A-WAY"
It's this way?
Found it!
Akane!
This isn't her room. Strange. . .
Come in. It's Ryoga, isn't it?
What's wrong? Come on in.
Hang on a sec. I'm making up some simple math problems.
Akane!
Are you all--?!
Ryoga!! You dirty--!
Akane!
Akane! What happened?!
Ryoga?!
Happosai! It's you?! What'd you do to Akane?!
I hit her pressure point to make her sleep all night.
What?!
Just think! If Ryoga and Akane are together all night. . .
he'll have his way with her!
I'm going to protect Akane all night. . .
to keep Ryoga away from her.
So long!
Stop, pervert!
Come back here!
Let go of Akane!
Forget it!
Ranma, let's play later, okay?
Remember this. . .
Now then. . .
I'll sleep next to Akane.
Forget it!
What's that? Another meddler?
Akane! Forgive me! I can't bear it any longer!
Hey!
Don't touch Akane!
I'M the one who'll protect Akane!
No, me!
Stop, old lech!
Put her down, I said!
Maybe you'll beat me in a thousand years!
You've got me mad now, old pervert!
I'll protect Akane with my life!
Checkmate!
Akane. . .
Now let's have pleasant dreams. Nighty-nite.
Ranma!
Get off !
I can't. I can't move.
Hee. Don't you envy me?
You dirty--!
What're you doing?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Does Akane always toss like that?
No, usually it's much worse.
Akane. . . Forgive me for breaking my promise to you.
The only life I can have. . .
is to destroy Ranma Saotome and perfect my skill in martial arts.
Ryoga. . .
He sent you a pineapple? For Ryoga, that's pretty thoughtful.
By the way, Akane, I'm now training in Hokkaido.
It's very hot. The other day, I was almost bitten by a habu snake!
What a harsh land Hokkaido is!
It sounds as though Ryoga's in Okinawa.
Akane?
- Will you go shopping for me? - Sure!
Hey, what was it like in "Hokkaido"?
What a tan! You're even darker now!
