sfx: knock
Momoko: Strike! Momoko: Batter out!
Goro: No way! That one was straight up the middle! Goro: It would have been a home run!
Momoko: Really...just hitting it anywhere is not good enough.
Goro: Daddy taught me this, // it's called "Virus training". Goro: Hitting the outermost circle will be a strike, however, after two strikes you'll have to hit the triangles to get a strike. Momoko: I see.
PAGE 011
Goro: But, I wonder why it's called "Virus Training" though... Momoko: Oh...isn't it suppose to be called "Virtual Training"?
Momoko: ......Goro, where's your daddy today? Goro: They're on a match with the Tokyo Giants.
Momoko: I see...

Goro: Shessh, // I need more practice. Goro: I couldn't even strike teacher Momoko who's a girl~~~~

Goro: What should I do~~~~ Goro: But if I go back, the principal will get mad at me~~~
Goro: Nah! Goro: I'll just do some muscle training instead.
Goro: I have to get stronger like my daddy! Goro: Wooow!!

Goro: They're like a camel's hump!! Goro's dad: HaHaHa, // A camel's hump huh?
Goro's dad: Well, if you train hard, you can have a body like mine in the future.
Goro's dad: But you have to eat your vegetables and practice a lot. Goro: .......
Goro's dad: Not just by throwing balls, Goro's dad: But also by running, jumping and arm-walking to be able to throw fast or hit far.
Goro: OK! Goro: I'll do it!
Goro's dad: However, since you're still small, you shouldn't over do it. Goro's dad: You'll have to do it little by little everyday.

Game announcer: Yokohama is now beginning to send out from the bench their first string players. The lefty Honda is going to pitch!
Chiaki: Hey, I told you not to stand, you're blocking the view of the others from behind!
Game announcer: The batter who has a chance to reverse this game is Matsui!
Game announcer: Lefty vs. Lefty, can Honda, who just entered the game, prevent their opponent from scoring?
Game announcer: The count from the time he entered is 6 pitches,
PAGE 025

Goro: Oh, really? Those who rise to the majors have to work really hard. // That world is not easy as you think! Goro's dad: Where did you learn that.
Momoko: How do you feel? Is there anywhere that hurts? // When I went out to look for you to return the ball, I was surprised to find you being bullied by those boys...!
Goro: I was not bullied! Goro: We were fighting!!
Momoko: You shouldn't fight! Momoko: No matter what the reason is, I hate kids who engage in violence!
Goro: .......

Momoko: I wish to prepare that for you everyday but // I have someone living with me so I can't do that. Goro: It's alright.
Goro: Anyways, I buy packed meals at the convenience store every night, Goro: I'm still having fish and milk, // just as my daddy told me!
Momoko: Oh...
PAGE 030
Momoko: Oh, that's right. Momoko: Today, your dad has a match against the Tokyo Giants. The TV will broadcast that, isn't it? // You're not gonna watch?
Goro: Nope, 'cause daddy will not be playing in that game. Momoko: Eh? // But, they might put him up as a relief pitcher....
Goro: He belong to the 2nd string team now! Goro: They went to Touhoku to play a match against the Tokyo Giant's 2nd string team!
Momoko: ........
Momoko: I'm sorry. // I don't know much about baseball, so when you said a match against Tokyo Giant I assume..... Goro: But...
PAGE 031
Goro: But....daddy will rise to the 1st string team soon!! Goro: He's just not feeling well these days, but he will definitely get back to the 1st string team, 'cause he did strike out Matsui before!!
Goro: 'cause daddy.... Goro: 'cause daddy became very sad after mommy died last year.......
PAGE 032
Goro: He said he'd go nuts without doing anything.... Goro: So from that day on, he trained like crazy day and night....
Goro: Then, he got this Hernia or something that hurt his lower back....
Goro: If that didn't happen, even now.... // hik, // hik,* *sound of sobbing
Momoko: ...........
Goro: Sorry teacher....It's not like you have anything to do with this.....

PAGE 033
Goro: o, okay!
Goro: Then, can I watch the TV!? Goro: Actually, I really wanted to watch! Momoko: Of course.
Goro: Ahhhhh, Yokohama is losing! Momoko: ........

Momoko: Well, I'll be going home now. Momoko: Make sure to take a bath and brush your teeth before going to sleep! Goro: Yeah, yeah

Guy: how...how come....
Ryoto: But don't worry, there's a very competent Vet here named Iwashiro Tessho. Ryoto: He'll definitely find a way to cure them.
Guy: Really...!? Then, please call that doctor...
Ryoto: I understand, I'll page him then.
Paging System: Paging Paging~~~~~
===PAGE 3====
Paging System: Dr. Iwashiro and Ms. Seno from 2nd Department~~~ Paging System: Please proceed to the examination room immediately.
Paging System: I repeat. Dr. Iwashiro and Ms. Seno from 2nd Department~~~~ Tessho: Just a second, telling us to report to the examination room. We're in the middle of a surgical procedure here! Seno: Must be important....
===PAGE 4====
Misaka: Hey kid! I'll take care of this so you better go and hurry!
Tessho: Old man!
Tessho: What's this, all of a sudden~~~
Misaka: I don't know the details but it looks like you're the only one who can do it! Misaka: Hurry and go!
Nurse w/ Misaka: You should hurry and go too, Mika-chan! Seno: Yup!
Tessho: Well then, I'll leave that to you old man! Misaka: Okay!
===PAGE 5====
Seno: But, what do you think this is about.... Tessho: ......
Tessho: I don't know.... Tessho: There's one thing I can say!!
Tessho: Ryoto was using the 2nd Department's Examination room a while ago!! Seno: !!
Tessho: I have a bad feeling about this.... Seno: There might be a reason....
Tessho: Hey, Ryoto!
Tessho: What is it, calling me while I'm in the middle of a surgery....
Tessho: Ehh?
===PAGE 6====
[No Text]
===PAGE 7====
Seno: EHHHHH!! Tessho: WHAAAAA!!
Tessho: What's with all these...!? Tessho: Why are there's so many snakes here...
Ryoto: Oh, it took you a while Tessho-kun.
Tessho: Ryo...Ryo...Ryoto!! This is not the time to be drinking coffee carefreely!! What's with this heap of snakes.... Ryoto: Well, I got bored waiting for you.... Guy: Are you Mr. Tessho!?
Tessho: Ehh....? (Mr. Tessho?)
Guy: Are you saying this is the doctor that's better than you, Iwashiro Tessho!? Tessho: Yes.
Ryoto: In Wild Life, he is... nope!! Ryoto: Probably in whole of Japan is the best Vet of snakes, Iwashiro Tessho!
===PAGE 8====
Ryoto: Since he's here, there's no need to worry about the corn snakes! My turn here is over!
Seno: It looks like Ryoto's escaping again... Tessho: Indeed...
Ryoto: Well then, see you later Dr. Tessho~~~
Tessho: Hold it!! Ryoto: ....tss....
Tessho: Ms. Seno, please prepare the clinical records~~~~ Seno: Okay.
Seno: They'll be back in no time, kindly wait here for now~~~~ Guy: .......
===PAGE 9====
Tessho: Why do you always pass your job to me!!
Ryoto: No, sorry about that
Ryoto: But, this one's really tough, isn't it?
Tessho: Are you an idiot! Is there a tough medical treatment for you! Ryoto: Then, you can do it.
Tessho: ..........
Tessho: Well, I can do it somehow~~~~ but..... Ryoto: What are you mumbling about.
===PAGE 10====
Tessho: I don't know anything about snakes!! Tessho: .........
Tessho: Moreover, I'm Japan's best Vet on snakes... What nonsense was that... Ryoto: Well, wasn't lying.
Tessho: Huh?
Ryoto: For instance, in the snake's case, there are a lot of things that I'm not very familiar with. Therefore, you're the best Vet for snakes in Japan.
Tessho: That... Tessho: What do you mean!?
===PAGE 11====
Ryoto: Well you see... It's easy for snakes to get common colds... // Though, it's probable that about half of those snakes don't actually have colds at all.
Ryoto: However, given that the patients are snakes, determining their body temperature is not possible... Ryoto: There's only one way to determine which ones are sick.
Tessho: Ho...how are we gonna do it?
Ryoto: By listening to the sound of their respiration. Tessho: !!
===PAGE 12====
Ryoto: Determining any abnormality in the snake's breathing sound such as asthma can BE DONE BY YOU WHO HAS THE ABSOLUTE PITCH~~~~ Ryoto: Nope, it's something that YOU ALONE CAN DO!!
Tessho: So I...
Ryoto: That person... He's a snake breeder and raises a lot of snakes, however, he still can't determine which among the snakes~~~~~ // have the common colds..... Tessho: !
Ryoto: If it's me who will be checking those snakes, it will take a while to see any progress! // But your talent is perfect for this so give me a hand! Tessho: Okay!
Ryoto: .......
Ryoto: Well then, I can read manga now~~~~~ (I better hurry~~~~)
===PAGE 13====
Tessho: Sorry to have kept you waiting!
Seno: Where have you been, doctor~~~~ Tessho: Sorry, I just took these! // Shall we begin!
Seno (whisper): Will it be alright...? Tessho: Yup, just leave it to me!
Tessho: It looks like not all of these snakes have pneumonia.
Tessho: However, you can't determine which among them have one~~~~ // Isn't it? Guy: Eh... Yes!
Tessho: I understand! Well then, I'll separate in these containers the snakes that have pneumonia and those that don't have one. Please be quite for the meantime!! Guy: O, Okay!!

Seno: I see! Doctor can differentiate which of the snakes are sick by listening to their breathing!!
Seno: To be able to tell which among these snakes have abnormality in an instant.... Seno: Doctor's "Absolute Pitch" is really amazing!!
Seno: However, what's this...
===PAGE 16====
Seno: It looks like having a festival of eel grabbing!! White text on sign above: Takoyaki Text on Sign at left 1st panel: Eel Grabbing Festival
Tessho: Alright, I'm done with sorting!
Tessho: These 31 snakes are sick... Tessho: These remaining 49 don't have any problem! (They're perfectly healthy!)
===PAGE 17====
Tessho: To treat these 31 snakes, we should administer at fixed interval... the *KANAMUSHI.... Guy: KANAMUSHI? Character w/ arrow above the beetle: Insect [T/N: KANAMUSHI = drone beetle.]
Seno: It's KANAMYCIN. [T/N: KANAMYCIN = antibiotics used to treat a wide variety of infections] Tessho: Right, once we give it to them, they'll be alright!
Tessho: I assure you that they will be okay so don't worry any longer!
Guy: Th...Thank you very much, doctor!
Ryoto: Tessho-kun!
Tessho: Oh, Ryoto....
===PAGE 18====
Ryoto: As I expected, it looks like you did a great job with those snakes. Tessho: Yeah! I could say, I did a perfect medical examination!
Ryoto: Though it was a perfect examination, a serious matter might happen. Ryoto: Well, I had my reasons for not doing it...
Tessho: Wha... What serious thing could happen.....
Ryoto: You see, snakes are poisonous reptiles to begin with, so there are only a few people who raise them. // But, in comparison, the veterinary hospitals taking care of sick snakes are even fewer~~~~~ That's why~~~... Seno: Ahh!
Seno: So Dr. Tessho might become popular among those people who are raising snakes?
Ryoto: Yep Ryoto: If that' the case, R.E.D might be born as a new medical specialist on snakes.
Seno: Then, the title of this manga will be changed to "Snake Life". Ryoto: That's quite funny~~~
Ryoto: but, even as a joke,
===PAGE 19====
Ryoto: That person is a breeder so I don't think he's the type of person that would start huge rumor like that. Tessho: .................. (snake medical specialist...)
Infobox: Next day~~~~ Director: Iwashiro! // Are you here Iwashiro?
Tessho: Yep, what is it Director!
Director: Is treating snakes your specialty? Tessho: Ahh~~~ I couldn't say specialty, but I checked on some snakes yesterday and it went well... Anything wrong?
Director: ...actually, the famous singer known as "Snake Trainer" Mikawa Kenichi-san is.... Director: requesting for Dr. Iwashiro who is Japan's most excellent snake veterinarian to treat her reticulated python.
Tessho: !
===PAGE 20====
Seno: It came immediately~~~ Tessho: Yeah~~~~
Ryoto: Ahh, however Tessho. Ryoto: I think it's best if you don't bring Inu along with you.
Tessho: ....why? Dog: ?
Ryoto: Because reticulated python is the world's largest snake, with lenght not less then 9 meters. // It can swallow Inu in one gulp. Tessho: !!
Ryoto: And one more thing, it can also swallow a person in a gulp~~~~~ (looks like I won't be able to eat you) Tessho: You...you're such...

Ryoto: What an awful thing to say.... (should I stop now...) Dog: Woof? Seno: What's the matter Dr. Ryoto?

Tessho: But, how did you manage to do that explosion~~~ // in the middle of that confusion, you were able to prepare the necessary provisions.
-------PAGE 17-------
Ryoto: Ahhh, that. I simply made the nitroglycerin that I've been using for medical treatment into a bomb... // You see, I always carry it with me.
Ryoto: Ah, see, I still have one here. Villagers: ..........
Samuel: However....
Samuel: Japanese are really weak-minded race... Elder: Stop it Samuel! You're being rude again!
Samuel: Hideyo Noguchi and you too... How can you sacrifice yourselves for the sake of other people and animals? Samuel: That is something that I can't comprehend!
Tessho: Well~~~ you see...

Tessho: That's because each life is significant!!

Samuel: Elder, you promised that you're not gonna tell anyone~~~
Infobox: Thus~~~~

Samuel: You're Japanese tourists, right? Guy: Yes...
Girl: After the river cruise, we though of seeing Noguchi Hideyo's memorial.
Samuel: I see. Therefore you better look at this too. // This is the latest tourist spot.
Girl: ? Girl: What is this?
Samuel: This is~~~
Samuel: Tessho Iwashiro and Tsukasa Ryoto's Statue~~~ Samuel: Excellent Japanese doctors that can be compared to Noguchi Hideyo.

Tessho: It's not true that having them alive has no meaning! Tessho: I'll prove that to you!
Chapter 27: Nomu is Hideo, Noguchi is Hideyo
Ryoto: ...Tessho?
African: Interesting.... African: How will you prove that?
Tessho: Well...
Elder: Samuel!

Elder: What do you think are you doing!! Samuel: Elder!
Elder: Why are you fighting with these people from Japan! Samuel: Bu...but...
Elder: How many times have I told you! Hideyo Noguchi died for the sake of Ghana!! Tessho: !
Elder: Listen carefully! The Japanese~~~~... Elder: are our ally!
PAGE 3
Samuel: ......!!
Samuel: Tss...
Elder: ...I apoligize for this... that guy is not a bad person... Elder: ...he just holds a grudge againsts the hippos...
Ryoto: No, it's nothing. Ryoto: Elder, please raise your head.
Ryoto: Just like what he said, protecting the hippos really brings a lot of troubles for the farmers.
Ryoto: Essentially, we preservers of hippos must work harder in polishing the policies concerning the preservation of hippos.
Ryoto: However, it's regretable that our strength is insufficient. The current budget and the capable individuals who do this job are also not enough.
PAGE 4
Ryoto: It should be us who should apologize. Tessho: !
Elder: Th, that...! There's no need for you to apologize... Tessho: Nope!
Tessho: Ryoto's right gramps!
Tessho: For that guy, his farm is everything to him, isn't it? // Therefore, it's natural for him to also hate us who protects the hippos that devastate the farms. Tessho: I too will not forgive anyone who's a hindrace to my job.
Elder: ..........
Tessho: Anyway, we'll work harder for the sake of hippos! // Just you wait gramps! Elder: Thank you... everyone....,
PAGE 5
Seno: But, it was really troublesome~~~~ Seno: Protecting the hippos is not that easy....
Seno: No matter how good the tourism industry becomes; it has nothing to do with the farmers like Samuel . Tessho: Uhmm... Ryoto: Indeed...
Seno: Ah, right! Seno: You said "I'll prove the significance of hippos' lives"; though how will you do that?
Seno: Perhaps you know a good way to do it!? Tessho: ...tss!
Tessho: No...well....
Ryoto: It was a bluff, wasn't it?
PAGE 6
Tessho: Well, I was gonna think about it later....
Seno: What's that... Ryoto: Just as I thought.
Seno: Ahh~~~! What are you gonna do if the elder expects that from you! Tessho: Ahmm well, that...you see? Seno: See what!!
Tessho: Ahhh... By the way~~~~!! Seno: What lies are you gonna say this time?
Tessho: *Nomo died in Ghana! Tessho: That really supprised me! (I've just seen him in the news the other day~~~)
[T/N: * Hideo Nomo is a famous Japanese baseball player.]
Ryoto: ....Of course.... Hideo Nomo is not yet dead.
Ryoto: The one that the elder said before is **Hideyo Noguchi.
[T/N: ** Hideyo Noguchi is a Japanese doctor who died in Ghana while studying the cause of yellow fever.]
PAGE 7
Tessho: Who's that?
Ryoto: A great Japanese doctor... // A talented man who made a lot of contributions to the medical world. But in 1928, he died here in Ghana while doing his personal research on yellow fever.
Tessho: Hehh~~~! There was such a great person here in Ghana!
Ryoto: Well, yeah. Ryoto: You didn't know Noguchi Hideyo. You really are an idiot.
Ryoto: .......anyway, until the locals do not accept the hippos, the real meaning of proctecting them cannot be established. // We better think of ideas ASAP.
Tessho: Yup!

Anan: Yeah, the tour today for the guests from Germany has to be cancelled too... Guy on phone: We're sorry but the tour today.... Anan: Somehow, it's been like this for about 3 days already since the opening day.... (even today too...)
Ryoto: If I'm not mistaken, it's almost rainy season in this area, // though, it looks like it started earlier this year than the usual Anan. Anan: You're right~~~
Tessho: I see~~~ when I finally get hold of being a guide~~~~
Tessho: Well, it can't be help. You can't go against nature. // Moreover, because of the rain lately, the hippos have not been approaching the farms...
Guy: Doctor!!
Ryoto: You are?
Guy: I, I'm the elder's messenger....
Guy: The village Guy: The village is in danger!!

Elder: Oh, everyone!!
Tessho: Gramps, what's this... Samuel: ........ Elder: Just as you see... SFX: GOOOOOO...
PAGE 12
Elder: The rainy season came earlier this year making the water plants growth faster. Elder: Because of that, the water volume in the river has increased.
Tessho: ....... Tessho: Unthinkable.... Water plants do not grow this much in Japan.......
Elder: In this area, the current of the river is a bit slow so water plants grow more in here. So, its likely that.... Elder: The river will collapse here! White font with black background: Wharf Text with arrow beside the river: Area with slow water current Text on area with houses: Village Text on the river: River
Elder: In any case..... help us out this instant, we don't want any heavy floods like 4 years ago...!!

SFX: GOOOOOOO
Ryoto: I understand, let's pile up some sandbags on the riverbank first! // Please gather some people! Ryoto: No matter what, we will not let the village get flooded...!!
Ryoto: Let's ask the help of the other guides. Please send someone to get them. Elder: Uilson, I'll leave that to you! Uilson: OK!
Elder: We're sorry.... for asking a doctor to do these things.... Ryoto: What are you saying, in times of trouble, we should be helping out each other. // Right Tessho....
Ryoto: ....tss, ehh? Text beside ryoto: Gone
Seno: If it's Dr. Tessho, he's over there....

Samuel: .........
Samuel: Tss... Samuel: Damn it....
Samuel: ... this is... Samuel: the fault of those hippos in the river.....
PAGE 17
Samuel: Hey Japanese!!
Tessho: Samuel....
Samuel: We will evacuate the village!!
Samuel: You should be happy! Thanks to you, the village will be left to the hippos for the taking!! Samuel: All the farms that we risk our lives for will be left to them!!
Samuel: AHAHAHAHAHA!! You should be happy! Seno: !
PAGE 18
Tessho: Shut up jerk!! SFX: GOOOOO...
Samuel: ......tss!?
Tessho: It's too early to give up!
Samuel: Wh...what...?
Tessho: I who have the "Absolute Pitch" can distinguish it. // Since the hippos get in there, the sound of the river has slightly subtled...
Tessho: Right now, the current has started to flow slowly!
PAGE 19
Samuel: Wha...what... // what do you mean...?
Tessho: Just hold out a little bit, Tessho: and let's save this village!!
SFX: KSSSS
Elder: You... Guy: Is that really true....
Samuel: That's impossible...! With those overgrown water plants in the way, // the river current won't flow that easily....
Tessho: That has already changed.

Chapter 26: Hippo's Swordsman
Page 2
Tessho: Africa?
Ryoto: Yup, tomorrow, you, me and Seno will be going there.
Seno: Again, that's so sudden~~~~ Ryoto: It has always been like this.
Tessho: I see, Africa! I've always thought of going there someday!
Seno: Doctor, do you really know about Africa? (You didn't even know about India...) Tessho: Yeah!
Tessho: I'll definitely take part in treating the wild animals, Tessho: also, I'll definitely check out Africa's Amazon!!
Ryoto: .......
Page 3
Ryoto: Amazon is not in Africa. Tessho: Eh....
Tessho: Then, where is it? Ryoto: It's troublesome to explain things to him so I don't want to.
Ryoto: Our job this time is in West Africa, a request from the local community of
Ghana.... // to help out in protecting the hippopotamus.
Tessho: *Hippopotamus.
Ryoto: Yup Ryoto: You on the otherhand is an *idiot
[T/N: In Japanese, BAKA = idiot; KABA = hippo.]
Page 4
Ryoto: Hippo's *teeth are like ivory.... These can be sold at a very high price, thus poachers are trying to get them. Ryoto: Now, hippos are considered endangered species whose numbers are getting fewer.
Tessho: Is that so....
Tessho: ......
Tessho: What is this hippo's *swordsman? Ryoto: That I wonder? Ryoto: I wish the idiocy inside your head becomes extinct instead of the hippos
[T/N: In Japanese, the word for tooth and swordsman sounds the same (Kenshi). Here, Ryoto used the word kenshi which means tooth and Tessho is asking what is this kenshi referring to swordsman.]
Ryoto: Moreover.... since hippos eat 45 kilos of plants every night, they not only eat the wild grass but also devastate the crops in farms.... // That's why, even if they are killed, no one would complain.
Tessho: .........killed....
Ryoto: In the case of farmers, even in Japan, no matter how many hardships they face, they make sure to let their plants mature and bear fruits. // So if something destroys their plants, isn't it natural for them to hold a grudge?
Page 5
Seno: So, if people like us protect the hippos, the local folks will hate us...
Ryoto: Well, that's why even if it's said that this activity is to protect them, with the hippos situation, it's not as simple as that. Ryoto: You two should keep that in mind.
Seno: Uhmmmm.... what's that...? (I'm worried~~~)
Ryoto: Don't worry, even if it's unusual... Ryoto: It is a simple job (that even Idiots can do) // I'll explain it in further detail once we get there
Tessho: Somehow, I've been hearing the word idiot from you.... Ryoto: It's just your imagination. The departure is tomorrow morning; don't be late.
Page 6
Infobox: North-West Ghana~~~~
Tessho: Wow~~~! Tessho: It's huge~~~!
Page 7
Tessho: Uhmm, that's a giraffe, right!?
Tessho: We're here, Africa!! Ryoto: This area around here is said to be one of the most beautiful places in Africa. Seno: Hehhh~~~!
Tessho: So, what are we gonna do here? Ryoto: Oh, right, this one.
Tessho: What's this?
Page 8
Tessho: This is a tour guide itinerary. Ryoto: (In your case) you can't speak English so I had it written in Katakana. // That way, it would be like reading Japanese.
Tessho: So what we'll be doing is... Ryoto: .......
Tessho: A Tour Guide!? // We're gonna be doing that!? Ryoto: Stupid......
Ryoto: Just like what Seno said before, the locals hate the hippos. Ryoto: For the sake of making them care for the hippos, they need to understand that hippos are not just a nuisance, but are actually valuable.
Ryoto: "Hippos are not hindrances"// "Keeping them alive generates money" that's how it is. Ryoto: However, it's not like the hippos can help with the farm work, Ryoto: The only thing that hippos are recognized for is that they're a tourist attraction....
Page 9
Ryoto: That's why, the local organization that protects the hippos, the travel agency and us, a private organization that is knowledgeable of wild animals, come together.... Ryoto: so we better brace ourselves in the seight-seing tour of wild hippos.
Seno: Ehmm, so the job in Ghana is... Ryoto: Yup
Ryoto: Our job this time is... Ryoto: to be a Tour Guide
Tessho: Really!? (R.E.D. is sure doing all sorts of jobs) Tessho: But, I don't understand English at all.
Ryoto: It's OK, just look at the tour guide itinerary I gave you. It has everything you need to know on there, like greetings, introduction and FAQs Ryoto: Seno, you can somehow speak English, right? Seno: Yeah, a little... Tessho: .....
Ryoto: Then, let's hurry to the wharf for the tour.// We're still quite far from there. Tessho: Ok!
Page 10
Infobox: Black Volta River wharf~~~~~
Tessho: Ehh, there are quite a few Japanese people here too~~~ Ryoto: Yeah, now a days there are a lot of Japanese people at sightseeing places~~~~
African guy: Dr. Ryoto! African guy: Wait~~~!!
Ryoto: It's been a while Mr. Anan. Anan: For you to help us again makes me happy! It's quite difficult to find a capable guide!
Anan: Look at this huge number of tourists! After hearing the R.E.D. will be coming here, the Tourist Bureau has been accepting a lot of tourists! Ryoto: It's good to see this business flourishing!
Page 11
Ryoto: Oh, let me introduce my colleagues. This is Dr. Iwashiro Tessho. // She's Nurse Seno Mika. [T/N: In Japanese language, when introducing someone, the family name is mentioned first before their given name.] Anan: Hello! Welcome here!
Ryoto: For now, let's go to the boat used for observing hippos and guide the guests. // See that boat over there.
Ryoto: One more thing Tessho, if you see a hippo that is in a bad state, inform me. Ryoto: We'll treat them later. Tessho: Got it!
Ryoto: I'll go ahead then. You and Seno should go to the other side of the boat. Ryoto: Miss Seno, I'll leave Tessho to you!
Seno: Ok.
African guy: Tss... Lots of people gathering here....
Page 12
Tessho: Ehmm.... Everyone, may I get your attention please. Tessho: Ahh~~~ We'll sail along the great Black Volta River! I hope we will see some~~~~~
Tessho: Eh, *Kaba is called hippopotamus in English!? [T/N: Kaba is the Japanese for hippo] Tessho: Wow! It's like a tongue twister! Seno: Doctor, you're a guide!
Tessho: Ahhhh...Ehhh~~~ Here on the river course, you'll see many hippopotamus~~~~
Tessho: Do you think this is OK, Ms. Seno. (I'm just reading these notes out...) Seno: Actually, I think it wasn't that bad. // It was pretty good.
Tourist lady: Wow!
Tessho: Hehehe. They're carefree~~~ (Even if a lot of people are looking at them) Seno: Yup! They look good~~! Dog: Woof
Tessho: ...this sightseeing is turning out well... Seno: Yeah...
Page 13
Tourist: Hey Mr. Guide.
Tourist: The hippo that I took a picture with looks like there's blood coming out from it, will it be alright? Tessho: Ehh!?
Tessho: Wh..Where!? Seno: Ah...! Seno: Isn't it that hippo in the tree shade!? Tessho: !!
Tessho: Hippo's teeth are like ivory.... These can be sold at a very high price, thus poachers are trying to get them.
Tessho: Don't tell me that hippo was targeted....
Tessho: Just wait a little!! Seno: Hey...doctor, wai....
Page 14
Tessho: I'll help you right now...!! Seno: Wait...
Seno: Wait doctor!
Tourist: What the...The guide jumped to the river!
Small text over ryoto's head: really... Ryoto: ...Tessho?
Page 15
Tessho: Whoahh!
Tessho: Are you alright, hippo?
Hippo: ?
Tessho (small box in the middle): Ehh?
Ryoto: Ha ha ha ha ha!
Page 16
Seno: Really doctor! That's why I told you to wait~~~~
Tessho: ........
Tessho: You're laughing too much!
Ryoto: Well, as I thought, you're the best, that's why I like you Tessho: Stop saying that while laughing in tears! (you asexual...)
Tessho: But, if it's not a problem, what is it. Tessho: That hippo was bleeding!
Ryoto: You see, occasionally, hippos secrete a substance which is red-colored to protect themselves from too much sun heat. That red substance is sometime called "blood sweat" and serves as a natural sunscreen. Seno: You're still in tears... Ryoto: It's not like they're wounded, you see.
Tessho: .....eh.... (really?) Ryoto: What you did a while ago was risky, for hippos are surprisingly brutal animals.
Page 17
Tessho: ......what... Seno: Ehh, isn't it over already~~~~
African: All of you, African: Leave!
Page 18
Seno: Kyaaaaa!
African: This is what you get for saving the hippos! African: Get out of our land NOW!
Seno: Doctor....
Tessho: What do you think you're doing!! Tessho: This is no laughing matter!!
African: Shut up....
Ryoto: Just relax and be still,
Page 19
Ryoto: or I'll kill you.
Tessho/Seno: There's blood. Above Tessho's head: Why resort to this, you're the one who needs to relax...
Ryoto: ~~~~so, what was that all about... explain it properly.
African: ....... African: Them...
African: Those animals are not needed in farm fields! // Those wild animals eat everything; all of the plants in the fields! African: Yesterday too, all of my brother's hard work were lost!
African: It's their fault that the village children have nothing to eat... African: I can't forgive you people, who save the source of our suffering!!
Page 20
Ryoto: But, you know, hippo sightseeing is for those farms. Ryoto: Like I've mentioned before, sightseeing business of wild animals is going well in Kenya.
African: What does that have to do with us farmers!? African: Hippos are destructive animals! It's better if all of them die!!
African: After all, there's no meaning in letting them live!!
Tessho: Hey old man!
Tessho: I understand your hatred for the hippos... Tessho: but!
Tessho: It's not true that having them alive has no meaning! Tessho: I'll prove that to you!https://mangahelpers.com/t/jinx85/releases/12305Translation: Wild Life 252009-05-15T01:23:42+00:00jinx85admin@mangahelpers.comPage 1

Tessho: Today is the 1st day of the 3 day physical examinations... / so I don't understand it well yet...
Tessho: But Pankou is really energetic, don't you think? (I thought I was gonna be eaten.) Tessho (flashback): Idiot!! (say that earlier!)
Tessho: You saw what happened to me a while ago. Shouta: Well yeah, but...
Shouta: Maybe it's because I always come here to draw him but---
Shouta: I think his expression is slightly less energetic than before... Shouta: It worries me....
Tessho: ...hmmm...
Shouta: Ah, nevermind! It's just an amateur's opinion!
Page 4
Tessho: I don't think so! Tessho: I am also new to this stuff!
Shouta: Eh? Tessho: Ah... (that's not it...)
Shouta: ! Tessho: Anyway...For now, I'll examine him once again! Tessho: I was going to only apply the anesthesia on the last day of the examination but if you think his condition is unusual, then we have to do something about it.
Tessho: Seno, change of plans! Shouta: ........
Shouta: ...this guy...
Shouta: is different... to simply believe in the words... Shouta: of a kid he just met...
Page 5
Tessho: ....After seeing the panda being so energetic, I let my guard down, but for that kid who's seriously looking at the panda everyday to say that there's something unusual with the panda's condition. Tessho: is something to be concerned with!
Tessho: Mr. Caretaker!
Caretaker: Oh Doctor, is everything done for today? Tessho: Nope, there's something that bothers me.
Tessho: Pankou... Did you notice any signs of him being sick recently? Caretaker: Eh? Pankou? (what's that?) Tessho: Well, that guy.
Caretaker: Ahhh... it's about Nennen.... Tessho: Is he eating his meals or does he have diarrhea?
Caretaker: Nope, there nothing in particular... // well, if there's one thing I could say, Caretaker: is that his weight has decreased.
Seno: His weight!?
Page 6
Caretaker: But it's probably because he just had PANS. So I think it's feeling like he's having constipation just like humans....
Tessho: Is that so... (hmm...)
Tessho: Right now, will you let me examine him thoroughly? Caretaker: Eh? Yes, it's OK but...
Tessho: A precise medical exam is necessary. Please give him anesthesia. Caretaker: OK.
Tessho: Okay Pankou, let me touch you for a little bit~~~~
Seno: Huh, you're going to use the stethoscope, doctor? (that's unusual) Tessho: Well, that's because just now, I couldn't sense anything wrong with him~~~
Tessho: But that kid is really worried.... it looks like he's really sure that something is wrong with this panda. Seno: ......
Page 7
Tessho: Hmmm...
Tessho: I can't hear any abnormal sound from him~~~~ Tessho: His lung, heart and the rest of the internal organs are pretty much normal!
Seno: Doctor~~~~ maybe it's probably just Yamagura's over anxiety? Seno: Looking at him everyday, he might have worried too much for some trivial things... Tessho: Hmmm~~~~
Tessho: Huh?
Tessho: Thi...this is!!
1st Div Doctor: Thank you, to think that Dr. Ryoto from the 2nd Division to help us out.... Ryoto: No problem. Receptionist: Dr. Ryoto!
Receptionist: Telephone from Dr. Iwashiro at line 3.
Page 8
Ryoto: Oh, Tessho? Ryoto: Is there anything unusual with the Pandas...
Tessho: It's terrible! Tessho: This panda~~~~
Tessho (on phone): has a tumor in its paw!! Ryoto: !!
Tessho (on phone): This is bad! It might be a malignant cancer!! // What should I do... Ryoto: Hey Tessho...
Ryoto (on phone): That tumor... if you look at it closely, doesn't it look like a finger? Tessho: Eh?
Tessho: Ahh...yeah... you're right! It looks just like a finger...
Tessho: Eh...?
Page 9
Ryoto (on phone): That one is the pseudo thumb. Ryoto (on phone): Pandas have 6 fingers.
Tessho: Eh?
Ryoto (on phone): You see, that thumb is used by the Pandas to hold the bamboo when they eat. Ryoto (on phone): Pandas are originally carnivores but they love eating bamboo grass. Thus, they use the thumb and fingers to hold the bamboos.
Ryoto (on phone): So what's the problem?
Page 10
Tessho: Nope, the thing is... A high school painter is saying that the panda is sick so I wanted to make sure.... Tessho: Moreover, the Panda's weight has slightly decreased but I can't see anything wrong with it.... When I saw that lump, I thought it's a tumor causing
him to be unwell and stuff....
Ryoto: ....painter? Tessho (on phone): Well, he's a kid that has been coming to the Panda's hut to draw it....
Ryoto: I don't really understand what you're saying but can you call me again about this some other time? RED Staff: The next pet owner is waiting. Tessho: Ok... Okay...
Ryoto: Really...His passion and talent "Absolute Pitch" is awesome but... Ryoto: His ignorance is terrible....
Girl: Oh, Doctor!
Ryoto: Hello Chisa-chan. So how is U-chan's condition since then? Girl: Well, U-chan, U-chan....
Girl: Has been very healthy!! Girl: See!!
Page 11
Ryoto: You're right, there's no need for you to worry anymore.
Girl: But just like that, U-chan has become healthy again... it's amazing!
Ryoto: Hahaha! The method for treating enteritis syndrome is quite unusual. Ryoto: More importantly, it's good that it was diagnosed early. // Chisa-chan is good in noticing that something's wrong with U-chan.
Girl: Well, when I embrace him, it seemed that he's lighter than usual~~~
Ryoto: Amazing...! With just that! Girl: ehehe!
Ryoto: Chisa-chan can be a great Vet in the future~~~ Girl: Really?
Ryoto: Hmm...? Ryoto:Weight has decreased...?
Page 12
Ryoto (remembers Tessho): His weight has slightly decreased but I can't see any abnormalities....
Girl: What's wrong doctor?
Ryoto: Oh, it's nothing // Whenever U-chan gets sick come here again, OK! Girl: OK!!
Ryoto: I highly doubt it but... Girl: Bye bye doctor. Ryoto: I'll contact him tomorrow...

Shouta: Hmmm....

Tessho: Hey!
Shouta: Ahh, Mr. Vet.
Shouta: So, how's the panda? Tessho: Well~~~ the thing is~~~~
Shouta: I see! Nothing's wrong with that guy!
Tessho: I think so.... I already checked everything for any abnormality but couldn't find one....
Shouta: Hey~~~! What’s so depressing? Shouta: We should be happy since he's healthy!
Tessho: That's not it, it's just that~~~~.
Shouta: Well if you look at him, he seems really OK. Tessho: Uhmm... he doesn’t seem sick at all....
Shouta: ...but I~~~~ // I'm no good.....
Page 14
Tessho: ...no good? Shouta: Actually...I...
Shouta: I'm thinking about quitting drawing....
Tessho: Why!? You're good at it so why quit!? Tessho: What a waste!!
Shouta: ...Well, it might look really good to common people but... Shouta: in our arts club, this level is not that good at all...
Shouta: For a true artist using animals as his model, // he can capture the true nature and feeling of the animals in an instant.
Shouta: I, on the other hand, no matter how much time I spend, I can't understand the nature and feeling of my subject~~~ Shouta: For instance that panda....
Page 15
Shouta: So, how am I supposed to do a good painting?
Tessho: ...... SFX: Buzz buzz
Tessho: Excuse me, it's a call from the hospital! // I'll leave you for a moment!
Tessho: Hello... Ryoto (on phone): Tessho, can we talk right now?
Tessho: Umm...yeah, it's OK... though....
Ryoto: well, about yesterday, did you say its body weight has decreased?
Page 16
Tessho: Well yeah... but the caretaker said that the decrease in weight is not unusual...
Ryoto (on phone): Nope...!
Ryoto (on phone): That panda is in its growing stage. Ryoto (on phone): Pandas in that stage don't decrease in weight because of a PANS.
Ryoto: Just to be sure, do a stool exam!
Tessho: But, it's not like he has diarrhea.
Ryoto: It's too early to draw a conclusion that he has no diarrhea. Ryoto: A detailed stool exam will confirm that, so let's do it for now.
Ryoto (on phone): ~~~~understand ~~~~ or else ~~~~~ I will ~~~~...
Tessho: Yeah, yeah... // OK!
Tessho: I get it!!
Shouta: wh..what happened!? SFX: Dash
Page 17
Tessho: Hey! It's too early for you to give up on your painting!! Tessho: We don't know yet, but maybe, you did capture Pankou's true expression! Shouta: Ehhh...?
Seno: How is it doctor...
Page 18
Tessho: Without a doubt!! Tessho: Whatever is causing this, the balance of Pankou's intestinal bacteria is really bad!!
Seno: Oh...you're right!!
Seno: This is not something to be happy but... Seno: That kid's observation is really sharp...
Shouta: ......
Page 19
Tessho: Don't just throw this away.
Tessho: You did capture Pankou's true expression! Tessho: That's impressive!
Shouta: Is that so....
Shouta: But, I'm really... Shouta: going to quit painting....
Tessho: Huh!?
Page 20
Shouta: Didn't I told you before? My paintings are way below the level set within the arts club. Shouta: Even if I can see through them, for a guy like me with no talent, it will not turn out good.
Shouta: Even my parents says so...// I should start aiming for a stable job... Shouta: Oh, yeah!
Shouta: Maybe I should just become a Vet just like you!
Shouta: It's not such a bad idea~~~~ Becoming a Vet or a breeder, maybe it would turn out just fine!? Shouta: Moreover, I might do better in it!?
Shouta: Besides Vets have a stable income, so my parents will be happy... Tessho: You....
Tessho: actually hate painting, don’t you?
Page 21
Shouta: Wha...what are you talking about, of course I love it! Shouta: I love it but reality just.... Tessho: Everyday, you draw this panda~~~~~
Tessho: Pandas are originally carnivores and should be eating meat to live. Tessho: However, nowadays they eat bamboo grass, do you know why?
Shouta: Eh? Shouta: How am I supposed to know.... Tessho: It's because they love it!
Tessho: They love it too much! Tessho: Just for that reason, they eat the bamboo grass even if it takes a long time for their body to process it! // They like how it feels so much that they've increased their fingers! They're admirable aren't they!?
Page 22
Tessho: No one's forcing them to do it for it could cause bad things to happen! Tessho: They can't properly digest bamboo grass, so they often get seriously ill, // The bamboo grass that they love so much are continuously decreasing due to the development of forest areas, so they're having a hard time gathering it!
Tessho: But, even if that's the case, they're willing to put their lives on the line for the thing they love! Shouta: !!
Tessho: In comparison to that, for you to quit just because of the hardships you face is despicable! Tessho: Once again, look that them carefully and try to understand!
Page 23
Tessho: See through it! Continue to "Love" it even if bad things happen!! // Never give up on it!!
Infobox: One month later~~~
Seno: Dr. Tessho, there's a package for you!
Tessho: Hmm!
Tessho: This is amazing! It's first-rank! (National High School Fine Arts Exhibition!) Seno: That's fantastic... Tessho: But this, isn't it me!?
Seno: This painting is really good, the atmosphere is conveyed very well... Tessho: Oh! Hmm?
Tessho: Eh~~~! After that guy graduates, he's going to Italy to sharpen his skills! (that's a good resolution.)
Seno: Looks like he's doing his best!
Page 24
Seno: But, doctor... How did you cure the panda? // Even after we got back here in the hospital, I still don't know what you did. Tessho: Eh...
Tessho: Well, that... Ryoto: He fed it with feces (of other pandas)
Tessho: Ryoto... Seno: Feces...!? Ryoto: Pandas or rabbits may have different kinds of intestinal bacteria however, the treatment for them are the same. Infobox: Herbivores' intestinal bacteria
Infobox: Plants have little protein. Because of that, herbivores have a special bacteria inside their intestines; the eaten grass undergo fermentation in their intestines is their way to raise the food's nutritional value (example adding yeast to the wheat flour is a way to make bread). However, because of the reduction of these bacteria, the fermentation does not go well, resulting into nutrition deficiency. The cure is to let them eat feces, which compensates for the lack of these special bacteria.
Infobox: Moreover, recent research from Kitasato University confirms that the bacteria in the Panda's intestines are very effective in digesting plant food particles.
Ryoto: Seno, do you want to try it? Seno: I'll have to pass.... Tessho: This...this damn rascal... you just ruined the nice conversation....https://mangahelpers.com/t/jinx85/releases/12042Translation: Wild Life 242009-05-06T23:53:24+00:00jinx85admin@mangahelpers.comPage 1
Ryoto: Uhmm, I think this one has an enteritis syndrome. Infobox: Enteritis Syndrome is caused by an imbalance of intestinal sterilization and results in diarrhea and serious illness. Chapter 24: Playing with the Panda
Page 2
Ryoto: I think we should examine him for his sake. He’s really sick! Staff: OK!
Kid: Eh... What kind of illness? U-chan... [T/N: U-chan is the name of the pet. I think it's short for Usagi which means rabbit.]
Ryoto: It's gonna be OK. Ryoto: It's quite difficult to pronounce the name of the illness, are you worried?
Ryoto: You don't have to worry too much. Ryoto: Big Bro here will make sure to make him well.
Page 3
Kid: Uhm!! Kid: Thank you, Doctor!
Tessho: ...hey what's this...
Tessho: Why is Ryoto helping out the 1st Division with physical examinations? (Moreover, he's being really nice...) Tessho: What kind of wind has gone into him? Seno: It's such a change of wind, Doctor!
Seno: It looks like it's the effect of the father incident. Tessho: That old man? Seno: After that, he said something.
Ryoto (flashback): From now on, I'll follow Tessho's example to... Ryoto (flashback): As long as there's time, wherever it is, I'll help out the patients.
Seno: That's it. Tessho: ......
Tessho: Ohh, I see! That's good!
Director: ......certainly.... that's a good thing to happen... Tessho: !!
Page 4
Tessho: Director? (What's with the uneasy face.)
Director: However, questionable books are placed all over the examination table... Director: Truthfully, I'm still anxious.
Seno: It's...It's OK! Those are just for relaxation, for relaxation! Seno: Even if others doubt him, please trust him Director!! Tessho: That's right Director! Tessho: I seriously believe in Ryoto!!
Director: ....... Director: Hmm, trust in him huh...
Director: Ah, right Tessho...
Page 5
Director: I think you'll be OK for that. Tessho: !?
Director: Starting tomorrow for 3 days, Wild Life will be doing the annual collaboration with Uero Zoological Garden for the physical examination of their Pandas. Director:Ryoto is in charge of it this year but...... Seno: Ehh, Panda...
Director: Ryoto is busy performing physical examinations in the 1st Division. Director: Iwashiro, he said you'd go there instead and do it.
Tessho: Eh!? (How come!?)
Director: You trust him, right? Tessho: Uhmm yeahhh.....
Director: Then, it's decided. Tessho: ......
Page 6
Ryoto: Phew~~~ I worked hard today~~~ Tessho: Hey, Ryoto, you asshole!
Ryoto: Oh, Tessho Tessho: What's the meaning of this, I heard from the director about tomorrow's Uero zoo...
Ryoto: I'll entrust the Pandas to you for tomorrow Tessho: OK.
Tessho: ......
Tessho: This isn't right! Why do I have to do it before I even know about it? Moreover, it's your job! Tessho: I bet helping out in the 1st Division is just an excuse! Ryoto: ........
Ryoto: That's because Pandas are really troublesome... Nope, I mean they're very helpful animals. Ryoto: So I thought it'll be good for you to study them.
Tessho: ....what's with the very helpful animal....
Page 7
Tessho: You see Ryoto, whoever the patient is, I examine him. Tessho: Since you're the one asking, you’d better teach me properly about Pandas.
Ryoto: It'll be OK
Ryoto: Because it will just be a simple physical examination. It's not like you'll be doing medical treatment or anything like that. Ryoto: Moreover, isn’t diagnosing whether an animal is sick specialty? (Cause you have "Absolute Pitch")
Tessho: Well yeah but, maybe a little something. Tessho: Like a pointer, or advice.
Ryoto: It can't be helped! The "Mild Life" I've ordered in the bookstore will be delivered today so I wanted to go home early... Tessho: Can't be helped! (Whose job is this anyway!?)
Ryoto: Well, first of all, play with them.
Page 8
Tessho: Play?
Ryoto: Yes, you will be examining 1 year old Pandas that were born and raised at Uero Zoological Garden.
Ryoto: Those guys are not wild and are used to being around humans. Ryoto: That's why you'll have plenty of time to play with them.
Ryoto: If you do that, you'll open up their hearts little by little, / by playing with them while doing the physical exam, you'll know their physical condition. Tessho: OK.
Ryoto: Look, I've said that you're a guy who fits the saying "Vets don't just look, they use their entire being to be of service".
Page 9
Tessho: Yeah, you could say so, that's my specialty field; you think it will be alright... Ryoto: Yeah, I think so.
Tessho: But, are there any rules on how to play with them? Tessho: Until tomorrow will you mail me. / For any way to do it?
Tessho: Uhmm, is there any common illness that pandas contract? Ryoto: Hhmm, let's see... Ahh, right~~~
Ryoto: Panda is originally a carnivore that has shorter intestines than a normal herbivore. / that's why, once in a while, Panda suffers from PANS Disease.
Tessho: PANS?
Ryoto: Right now, what kind of weird things are you thinking? Tessho: PANS = Panda's PANS Tessho: Eh...?
Page 10
Ryoto: To be exact, Pants is a slightly different kind of sickness. / Since Panda's intestine is short, when it eats bamboo grass leaves, the fiber from the bamboo grass leaves are not digested properly.
Tessho: hmm hmm...
Ryoto: Then, these fibers get stuck on the intestine mucus membrane for 2 to 3 months...
Ryoto: If the condition worsens, symptoms like a person suffering from constipation will develop. / That is Pans. Infobox: Pans is not it's official name. Since it resembles the Women's menstruation (phenomenon where intrauterine's mucus membrane get unstucked), a personnel in Ueno Zoological Garden coined this term.
Ryoto: That's why, if you see one, you should give them a lot of milk with lots of sugar.
Tessho: ...that's strange~~~~
Page 11
Tessho: Why would panda live by eating bamboo grass if it causes constipation? Tessho: Shouldn't they just eat meat since they are carnivores to begin with!
Ryoto: Well, that~~~~ Ryoto: still remains as a mystery to the biological society.
Ryoto: Though, if you ask me, isn't it because they love eating it.
Tessho: Love it... Ryoto: Yeah, just like me
Tessho: Is there any other things I should take note of? Ryoto: Uhmmm....
Page 12
Ryoto: Pandas are way stronger than humans! Furthermore, the incidents of panda breeders getting hurt by pandas are second only to elephant breeders!! Ryoto: ...thus, from afar, their appearance is a dangerous animal!
Ryoto: ...those things I just said now are actually just a prank, will he be alright? (Oh well! Young pandas are safe creatures anyway.) Tessho: What is it?
Ryoto: Anyhow, I've already taught you the important things. Ryoto: If you come across something you don't understand, contact me. Tessho: OK!!
Tessho: Hey, that's my Oolong tea that you're drinking!! Ryoto: Indirect kiss~~ Tessho: Idiot!!
Infobox: Next day~~~

Guy (painting): Hmm....
Guy (painting): This is not it! (I'll redo it!)
Caretaker: So, here's Nennen's...
Guy (painting): Huh? Guy (painting): I haven't seen him before.... (moreover a blond hair...)
Caretaker: Well then Doctor, I'll leave Nennen to your hands. Tessho: OK
Seno: Please do your best Doctor. (When it's necessary to do a surgery, I'll be with you~~~) Dog: Woof Woof!! Tessho: Okay!
Page 15
Tessho: Well then! *Pankou, let's play first! [T/N: Tessho calls the panda as Pankou. Pan is from panda and kou is a familiar or derogatory suffix after a name.]
Caretaker: Like I've said, his name is "Nennen"....
Tessho: Oh, right!
Tessho: I got the rules when playing with Panda. Tessho: Let's see...
Tessho: "First, face towards the Panda to play tag" Tessho: "Then, dodge quickly and run" Tessho: OK!
Tessho: "Pandas raised by humans knows how to go easy on someone. Act as a dog's play-biting object." Panda: Ke~~ Tessho: "But never let your guard down with a carnivore."
Tessho: Huh...so, how do I do that? Panda: Kea Kea
Page 16
Tessho: "Run around the entire breeding space until you get cornered"
Tessho: "When that happens, hold the panda's head and push him away." Tessho: Like this?
Tessho: "Hereupon, pandas roll like a circle when they fall down."
Tessho: It really did! This is interesting!!
Note: *This way of playing by Vets is actually is called by Mr D. Teera as "Panda's Remake Strategy".
Guy (painting): ...what is that guy doing...
Page 17
Tessho: "But, doing this is overkill... / It's better to go easy on them at first, then gradually raise the intensity of playing with them."
Tessho: Certainly... but shouldn't you have mentioned that earlier... Tessho: than later...
Tessho: "Though you're getting along well now don't you?"
Tessho: "....even if it's a young panda, when it becomes serious, with its 100 kilos of muscle lump" Tessho: "humans won't have a chance to withstand it"~~~~!?
Tessho: Huh....!?
Page 18
Tessho: Are you kidding me~~~!! (Say that earlier~~!!)
Guy (painting): Really... what is that guy trying to do...
Zet Zeet Zet zee zee
Tessho: shit...
Tessho: "Repeat this reliable advice later and you'll succeed~~~!?" Tessho: What's with this mail!!
Page 19
Tessho: ....that rascal~~~~~ leaving this tiresome job to me~~! Dog: Woof~~ Seno: Are you alright Doctor~~~~!!
Seno: To do the physical exam, you challenge the panda to a fight. Doctor, you really are a different Vet~~~~~ Tessho: That's not it! That was Ryoto's advice. I've just overdone it!!
Tessho: Well, it looks like I'm OK anyway; this time, I ended up safely... Guy (painting): Hey, hey...
Guy (painting): Are you a Vet?
TesshO: Huh? Yes though... Tessho: What's this? If this is for a newspaper, then I'll decline. Guy (painting): I see, just as I thought!
Guy (painting): Well... I don't understand what you were doing with the panda so.... Guy (painting): I was wondering what that was all about.
Tessho: Well, hmmm~~~~ no wonder you couldn't understand....
Page 20
Tessho: I was doing the physical examination while playing with the panda. Guy (painting): Ehh? You were doing a physical exam!? Guy (painting): but doing it while playing!
Tessho: Vets don't simply look, they uses their entire body to serve! / there was such a saying! Tessho: Well, I don't quite understand it but......
Guy (painting): What does it mean. Tessho: You're being nosy!
Tessho: To make it simple, it's necessary to develop a relationship of mutual trust with the animals! Guy (paiting): Hmmm... I see....
Guy (paiting): Being a Vet is tough job...
Tessho: Hmm? So, what are you? A painter?
Shouta: Oh, I'm Yamagura Shouta. Shouta: 2nd year student from Uero Senior High's Arts Club!
Tessho: Uero... (this place?) Shouta: Do you know it? It's a famous school around here.
Page 21
Tessho: I don't. Not at all. (I'm not that kind of person.) Shouta: Ah, is that so.
Tessho: Huh!
Tessho: Wow!! It looks exactly like Pankou~~~!! (You're good!) Shouta: Pankou...? Isn't Nennen? [T/N: See T/N on page 15 for the meaning of Pankou]
Shouta: Hehe...Since then, I've loved drawing animals. Tessho: I see, so he's the perfect model. (Its pattern is quite easy.)
Shouta: Not at all! That pattern and expression that I don't quite understand~~~ Shouta: Right now, drawing the freshness of that guy is my goal!
Tessho: Eh! That's cool! Tessho: No matter what, do the things you love to do!
Tessho: When I was in high school too, I did what I wanted to do~~~~
Page 22
Tessho: ? Tessho: Did I just say something unnecessary?
Shouta: Bu...But... / With this, that guy will also be relieved! TesshO: Uhhmm yeah?
Tessho: Wha...What do you mean by being relieved?
Shouta: Well, that panda somehow looks like it’s sick? Shouta: I thought that with this, he will be cured!
