--You wished to see me, Master Kuno? -- Yes.
I sense a presence--! -- Ignore it.
-- Yes, sir.
Introduce yourselves.
Koga ninja, Heat Wave School, Kokichi the Red.
Mighty Ocean School, "Sea Fire" Hanbei.
Iga ninja, Rock School, "Cicada Rain" Heizo.
Rice Harvest School, "Sickle" Shikanme.
Moneylenders' School, Homeless Yashichi.
What do you think? Skilled agents, all.
Many more await in back.
Why, Master? My uncle sent them over this morning.
What do you mean, sir? He suggested we engage one as a spy for the Kuno house.
A new spy? Then--?! Don't you understand, Sasuke? It means you'll be fired.
I will? You're so useless, perhaps it must be done.
You can't!! Master Kuno!! Please--! But you probably wish to uphold your pride as our longtime spy.
And somy kind nature prompts me to grant you a final chance.
Thank you, Master! I shall give you a task of utmost importance to the Kuno.
If you successfully complete the mission, you may stay.
However--! If you should fail, I shall engage a new spy without hesitation! Go, then! You shall be informed of the details later.
Excuse me, sir! Here is your assignment.
Look at the document before you.
The name written thereon is the subject of your mission.
The Pig-Tailed Girl This is--?! I must see that person.
You have one week.
-- I understand.
It will be done.
-- Fine.
If you are injured or meet with an accident during this mission the Kuno family will disavow any knowledge of you.
This message will self-destruct.
I must learn the whereabouts of the Pigtailed Girl.
It's lucky that the pool wasn't crowded today.
I'm tired! I shouldn't have gone.
What's wrong? I'm pathetic.
I can't go to the pool unless I put on a girls' swimsuit.
It can't be helped.
You can't enter the water in a guy's suit.
-- Not that I care, though.
-- I'm pathetic.
I've found her at last! I sweated torrents of perspiration waiting in here for 3 days and 5 hours, but it was worth it! I'll call this the "Midsummer's Red Stakeout Strategy.
" Pigtailed Girl, you'll not escape me now! I can't get out! POSTAL SERVICE That was a great bath! Hey, watermelon! We've been waiting for you, Ranma.
--Let's all dig in! How do you like this aroma and cool sweetness, Saotome? It's delicious, all right! That's strange.
I was sure the Pigtailed Girl entered the house with everyone.
-- Watch your manners! Glutton! -- Shaddap! Ptui! You dare--? Dirty--! -- Here they go again! -- It's too hot.
Take it outside, will you?! Fine! Very well! Idiot son! Now you've really made me mad.
Here I come! The Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts Seed-Spitting Hell! Sudden Downpour Seed Attack!! What's that commotion outside? That'll teach you! It's--! You dirty--! -- Magnificent battle! -- Good grief.
-- What a pair.
-- Oh? I haven't eaten anything all day! Imagine, watermelon, here--! What luck! Some tea? Why, thank you.
Give up yet, Pop? Okay, lemme replenish my ammo! -- What's happened here? -- Eaten down to the rind! Did you eat it all, Kasumi? No.
Sasuke came and ate it all.
Sasuke?! Why was he here?! Did someone invite him? No.
That was delicious! What a treat! Huh? That's the Pigtailed Girl! Where'd she come from? What a mess! Stupid Pop! I just took a bath, too! I saw her! That was indeed the Pigtailed Girl! She disappears the minute I look away--! I'd better make sure it's her! I can't see.
Wait, wait.
It's rather vulgar to peep at a bathing girl--! But I can't be concerned about that now-- No.
.
! Stillthis is my job--! Someone's coming! It's all yours.
Wasn't that Ranma Saotome? How'd he get in here? Wasn't the Pigtailed Girl in there? Strange! No one could've gone in or out without my seeing them.
But after the Pigtailed Girl went in, I heard water splashing and Ranma Saotome came out.
In other words--! What I thought was the Pigtailed Girl was actually Ranma Saotome.
Can it be--?! It must be! I almost saw Ranma Saotome naked! What a close call! Sasuke, I changed my mind.
You have until tomorrow.
Huh?! But--? Master Kuno?!! -- Hey, they're my meatballs! -- Quiet! I got them first! -- What's wrong? Giving up so soon? -- You dirty--! Stop it, you two!! Give that back!! Gimme! -- They're mine! -- They're mine! What's that?! She's here! She emerged from the pond this time! I'm desperate! I hate to be violent, but I'll have to tie her up and take her! She's sound asleep.
Now then! Hold still, will you? You won't get away this time.
No woman could know this pain--! She tosses something terrible.
-- Hey! Quit it, willya?! -- Y-Yes?! Talking in her sleep?! I hope she doesn't wake up! Meatball! Gimme that meatball! Thas' right.
Hey--! Thas' right Maybe I'll go home to the country.
And run the cracker shop.
What's the matter? Who're you?! You can relax.
I live in this house.
True, I did see him once.
But he came up silently behind me.
This geezer is no ordinary man.
Aren't you the spy for the Kuno house? No, I--! Don't worry.
I know everything.
Something's happened there, right? How did you know?! Ninja from all over Japan have come.
How could I not know? Can't you sense their presence? The unnatural movement of the sunflower growing there.
The rustling of that large zelkova tree.
And from the other roof, that suspicious-sounding cat's meow.
They're all ninja watching every move you make.
I didn't notice.
I still require more training.
I see.
Kuno ordered it? This mission will decide my future.
But the Pigtailed Girl is difficult to find or approach.
A most formidable challenge.
-- But a ninja must never give up.
-- Still Remember! A ninja's road was not built in a day.
Sir! Please allow me to call you "Teacher"! Oh, stop! Then please call me "Shining Prince!" All right.
Enough.
If you're so determined, I'll teach you an effective way.
Why, with your skill, it'll be easy.
Lend me your ear.
So that's one way?! What is it? -- I see.
-- Don't worry! Do as I say and you'll succeed! Believe in yourself! I'll be going now.
He's gone.
I never expected to resort to that technique.
Still, I can't afford to waste any more time! Abracadabra gobbledygook! Are you going somewhere? Just to the park for a while.
It's a great success so far.
From Sasuke? What?! The Pigtailed Girl awaits me in the park?! Sasuke's done it! Where could Ranma have gone? I don't know.
He went out as soon as he got up this morning.
And that was it.
You needn't worry about Ranma.
He should come home soon.
Sasuke appears to have succeeded.
When this technique is performed on a sleeping person he goes into a dreamlike trance and obeys your every command.
It's the frighteningly powerful, most secret of techniques--! "The Beautiful Dreamer.
" Oh yes, Ranma said he was going to the park.
What could have happened? Ranma never runs off without having breakfast.
I just know something's wrong.
I see it's worked.
Teacher! I owe it all to you! Now for the finishing touch.
Sir? Don't you know? You can't let her meet Kuno dressed like that! Here, I've brought this pretty dress.
Have her change into this! Teacher! You've thought of everything! Thank you! Now then--! Pigtailed Girl! This way, please.
-- Right this way.
Change into this.
-- Okay.
Oh, sweet!! What're ya DOIN"?! What'm I doin' here? The technique wore off--?! Technique? I see.
So that's it? You! What were ya plotting with that ol' creep?! -- I had a good reason--! -- Reason?! K-POW!! Please wait! -- Please stay here a while longer! -- No! I'm goin' home! At least half an hour! Ten minutes, even! -- Please do it for me? -- No, I said! -- Please!! Can't you--? -- Forget it! Ranma! What's wrong, Akane? What brings you here? Are you crazy? Why'd you come here without eating breakfast? Sasuke and the ol' pervert used a weird technique on me.
What? Pigtailed Girl, you're here! Why, even Akane Tendo is here! What a wonderful, fateful encounter! I'm ecstatic! Master Kuno? W-What happened was--! Oh, how you must care for me--! I always knew it! But maybe it's too late! Well, we're not ecstatic! Master Kuno?! Wait!! With Kuno, it's an automatic reflex.
Same here.
Let's go home.
Yeah, I'm starvin'.
Master Kuno--! Master Kuno! Sasuke? Master Kuno, I failed in my mission, so I'm calling to bid you farewell.
Are you daft, Sasuke? Because of you, the Pigtailed Girl and even Akane Tendo came to see me with love in their hearts.
You've thoroughly proven yourself.
You shall serve the Kuno house now and forever.
M-Master Kuno! Thank you! I shall be with you until I die! By the way, here's the subject of your next assignment.
Target: Akane Tendo -- Her? -- I wish you luck.
