Everyone looked at each other, baffled, until Ranma jumped out and asked, "You don't remember him? Then, do you remember me?"
"The perverted Ranma who changes between boy and girl?"
"It seems she remembers," read the panda's wooden sign.
Ranma expressionlessly knocked the panda flat. "Looks like Shampoo only made Nabiki forget Ray Chu."
"Could it be the legendary…" Genma, who had reverted to human form at some point, suddenly spoke up, eyes glinting. "Hissatsu Shiatsuken!"
"What the heck is that?"
"The so-called Hissatsu Shiatsuken uses specially formulated Chinese herbal shampoo to press specific pressure points on the head, controlling a person's memories. It's a truly terrifying martial art!"
"So that's why sis forgot Ray-kun."
"Is that so? To think I've forgotten someone important—such pain! Such despair! Life feels utterly meaningless now!"
"I never realized Nabiki would be so heartbroken forgetting Ray-kun…"
"I thought she'd only cry over money."
"Ray-kun, please help sis recover her memories," Akane pleaded.
"But…"
"As her father, please help my poor daughter!" Soun Tendo begged, tears streaming down his face.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, and thinking about how he'd been freeloading at the Tendo household all this time, Ray Chu could only shrug. "Fine…"
...
According to Akane's suggestion, revisiting places they had been to before was best for recovering memories. In other words: date time!
As a classic date spot for young couples, the amusement park consistently ranked in the top three, making it their first stop.
"Oh, Nabiki! Are you on a date with Ray-kun?" It didn't take long for them to run into classmates from Furinkan High School.
A group of girls chatted and laughed for a bit before excusing themselves. "We won't interrupt your date. Bye!"
"You're really popular, huh?" Even Ray Chu had to sigh. When it came to social skills, Nabiki was truly unmatched.
"Of course—they're all potential customers." Nabiki paused, confused. "Wait, why did I just say that?"
Ray Chu was speechless. Seems like she really has forgotten everything about me. I can't exactly tell her she's been selling pictures of me.
"Let's grab something to drink," Ray Chu said, taking Nabiki's hand as they entered a dessert café.
"Ray really knows his stuff!" In the bushes nearby, several sneaky figures followed them. Seeing this, Ranma commented.
"Someone here should learn from him." Akane couldn't help but interject, causing Ranma to whip around. They stared daggers at each other, simultaneously huffing and looking away.
[Big trouble!] The panda suddenly whacked Ranma on the head with a wooden sign. Before Ranma could get angry, he pointed in a certain direction—Shampoo was happily storming into the amusement park wielding two maces.
Ranma: "Shampoo? Why's she here?"
Akane: "Seems she followed Ray-kun here."
Panda: [Is this a woman's obsession? Terrifying!]
Akane clenched her fist. "No, we can't let Shampoo ruin Ray-kun and Sis' date! I'm gonna stop her!"
Ranma grabbed her arm. "Idiot! You're no match for her. I have a plan…"
...
"Everyone, come take a look! Our brand-new interactive Panda Show featuring China's national treasure! Participants have a chance to win great prizes! Congratulations, Miss! You've been randomly chosen as our lucky guest! Please join our panda for some fun!"
Girl Ranma, fully disguised as an event hostess, blocked Shampoo's way with enthusiastic salesmanship.
"I have something else to do!" Shampoo resembled a jealous wife hunting for her husband's mistress, her beautiful eyes scanning everywhere.
"Oh, what a pity! The prize is a week-long couples' hot spring trip to Shinjuku, perfect for lovers."
"A week-long hot spring trip for two…" Shampoo hesitated, clearly tempted.
Girl Ranma chuckled inwardly, pressing further. "Come on, come on! The children are waiting for your show—this is a rare chance!"
"Alright, next up, our special guest will feed the panda…!"
After feeding the panda its twentieth bamboo shoot, Ray Chu and Nabiki finally left the dessert café, heading to the next attraction.
"Ah! My darling!" Shampoo dropped her bamboo stick, ready to charge after Ray Chu, when Girl Ranma suddenly pulled a panda costume hood over her head.
"Honored guest, the show isn't over yet! Next up is the Panda Wrestling demonstration! Everyone's eagerly awaiting your performance!"
The previously adorable panda roared menacingly, charging at Shampoo.
"Pow!" But the panda went flying instantly—struck by a tiny, wizened old lady.
"Oh no! The national treasure got knocked away!"
"Where did that old lady come from…?"
The crowd erupted in surprised chatter, clearly entertained by this unexpected development.
Shampoo finally pulled off the panda costume, kicking swiftly toward Girl Ranma, who flipped neatly away.
"So it was you!" Shampoo instantly recognized Girl Ranma.
"Sorry, but I can't let you interrupt Ray Chu and Nabiki right now." Ranma assumed a fighting stance.
"I'll handle things here, Shampoo—you go after your husband!" The old lady leaped forward, balancing on her cane.
"Cologne!" Ranma's face turned serious. "Looks like my opponent's a bit tricky."
"For Akane's sake, I'll help you just this once." Suddenly, Ryoga appeared nearby, arms crossed.
"Ryoga-kun!" Akane looked moved.
Ranma asked, "Little P, where'd you pop out from?"
Thud! Ryoga punched Ranma in the head. Clenching his fists, he snapped, "Focus on the enemy first, idiot! Hmph! Don't think I'll go easy on her just because she's elderly. I always fight with everything I've got!"
"As do I," Cologne replied.
"Let's go!" Ranma yelled, charging alongside Ryoga—but their cool entrance lasted barely three seconds before both were knocked flat.
"So strong! They're totally out of their league!" Akane stared in shock, gritted her teeth, and prepared to rush in herself.
"Move aside!" At that moment, Shampoo surged forward, engaging Akane in an intense fight on stage. Shampoo eventually got the upper hand and rushed off-stage.
"Darling!" Quickly spotting Ray Chu, Shampoo burned with jealousy as Nabiki casually hugged his arm.
An aura of hostility filled the air, causing even bystanders to shiver uncomfortably.
"What an annoying woman—still clinging to Ray even after losing her memories." Shampoo's eyes filled with killing intent.
"Heh. I don't know what you're talking about, but I doubt any man would like a violent woman who only knows how to fight," Nabiki retorted sharply.
"Darling, is that true?"
Faced with Shampoo and Nabiki's intimidating glares, Ray Chu felt an immense headache—this was exactly why he'd rather face legendary, evil ultimate lifeforms than deal with this kind of drama...
I'm just an innocent, pitiable Pikachu!
But unfortunately, he couldn't say that out loud!
Ray Chu coughed awkwardly. "Regardless, fighting is bad!"
Nabiki flashed a triumphant smirk. "Then let's settle this with who can give him a better date—the loser backs off voluntarily!"
...
The result: after a whole day of roller coasters and thrilling rides, Nabiki and Shampoo ended up bedridden for three straight days, finally giving Ray Chu some long-awaited peace.
While helping care for Nabiki, Akane couldn't help asking, "Sis, when exactly did you remember Ray-kun again?"
Nabiki lazily flipped through a magazine, chin resting casually on her palm. She nodded absently. "True, I forgot at first. But the moment I saw him again, I remembered everything."
Her feelings for Ray-kun are really that deep? Akane thought with surprise.
That man's aura practically reeks of money… Nabiki mused quietly.
