-4 Rosa
Lydia, attack her!!
Lydia
[Fist] Right, big sister Rosa!!
-5 Lydia
[Whap whap] Eiya --.
-6 Lydia
[Whap whap] Uh -- eiya --.
-7 Lydia
[Pause] !? It... it's... NOT TRUE!!

113
-1 Lydia
[Run] It's not true -- !!
Rosa
Lydia!?
-2 Lydia
[Twist] My... my Crusher Screw Punch has no effect --!!
Rosa
Calm down, Lydia!!
-3 Lydia
She's too strong, I can't beat her!!
-4 Rosa
[Slap] Idiot!!
Lydia
Ah!
-5 Rosa
The real shame isn't in being defeated by your opponent... but to be defeated by yourself!!
-6 Lydia
Si... sister...
-7 Lydia
[Hug] I'm sorry! Big sister, I'll fight!!
Rosa
There, there, Lydia.
Rufa
WHAT is wrong with those two...

114
-1 Mink
Ahem... if you would tell us what this is about..
-2 Rufa
Right -- tell us what this is about!!
-3 Rufa
How can a fishwoman make love with such a body!? Don't hold back, tell me how you do it.
-4 Mink
That's not what I meant!
Rufa
What... did I say something wrong!?
-5 Mink
So... What is my grandfather... Titan like... Is he the one you're talking about?
-6 Rosa
...What!? You don't seem to know the details... Then I'll tell you.
-7 Rosa
15 years ago... the Kaioh Tribe joined with the Dragon Clan to defeat the Great Demon King.

115
-1 Rosa
However, the plan failed... on the eve of the battle. Because of a double-crossing Dragon!!
-2 Rosa
That Dragon was Titan. Several hours ago, this fact was discovered.
-3 Rosa
The bastard had killed the King and Queen of Kaioh. And, the little Prince Sousar had been badly injured.
-4 Mink
Ahh... Sousar!?
-5 Rufa
Does this mean Mink's grandfather had killed both of Sousar's parents?

116
-1 Rufa
In addition to the possibility of becoming an ugly monster... singing: Monster, monster, shedded snake skin [Pop-up]
-2 Rufa
Her grandfather had killed the parents of the man she loves.
-3 Rufa
Mink's misfortunes are weighing heavily on her. [On balls: Misfortune] [Stagger stagger] [Note: The shock has rendered her comatose.]
-4 Rosa
You now understand the abominable curse of your bloodline...
Lydia
Now let us kill you!!
-5 Lydia
[Pommel pommel pommel] Eeyahhh --
-6 Lydia
Huh...!? My... my Double Crusher Screw Punch isn't working either... Nothing I do is any good...!?
-7 Rosa
[Punch] Idiot!
Lydia
Ugh.
-8 Rosa
[Hug] Have courage. (Make friends with your courage.)
Lydia
I will, big sister!! [Note: Still in shock.]

117
-2 Gil
Titan killed... Dick Rick; the former King, and my elder brother...
-5 Gil
However, Titan was the last person I expected... to betray us.
-6 Anna
I didn't know the Dragon Titan... Sounds like you know him well.
-7 Gil
Nope. I don't.

118
-1 Gil
Do you guys know him?
Thing
Yes, your Highness Gil.
-2 Thing
Titan is a Kaiser Dragon who was a close friend of former King Rick.
-4 Gil
... a close friend?
-5 Anna
Darling... something is on your mind... you're taking too long to reply.
-7 Gil

-8 Gil
I am?
Anna
You are!!

119
-1 Anna
This is a humor manga, please reply faster.
-2 Gil
What!?
-3 Gil

-4 Gil
If you say so. I myself have something to say!! Anna!!
Anna
[Shock] Wh... what is it!?
-5
[Flap]
-6
[Flap flap]
-9 Gil
I want Perochu for today's snack. (Children have snacks at 3:00 PM.) (No idea what "Perochu" is.)
Anna
Huh?

122
-1
[Pose]
-2 Rosa
Ah -- !? So, So... Sousar-sama!
-3 Mink
Eh -- !?
-4 Sousar
It's been a long time, Mink-kun.
Mink
A....
-5 Sousar
Heh... don't worry. I don't hold the fact that your grandfather killed my parents against you.
-6 Mink
[Thud] Eh!?
Rufa
What a surprise!!

123
-1 Sousar
Far from it, I love you!
-2 Mink
[Bong] What --!?
Rufa
A double surprise -- !!
-3 Sousar
[Ditz --...] As for you two... cease your attack on Mink.
Rosa
What!?
-4 Rosa
[Stern look] I can not do that. Although you are a former prince, Sousar-sama...
-5 Rosa
and I was privately a big fan of yours... I can not overlook the betrayal of my family!
-6 Sousar
[Flourish] If you would overlook that, I'll give you some secret photographs.
-7 Lydia
[Hug] Sister, I am SO HAPPY.
Rosa
I'm glad to be alive -- !!
Sousar
Looks like you understand.

124
-1 Sousar
Well... let's go now.
Mink
Oh? Where to?
Rufa
This photo is great (heart)
Lydia
This one too (heart)
-2 Sousar
How would you like to visit the Kaioh King's Castle? ...and meet him.
-3 Mink
Ah... how do you know that?
Sousar
[Hohohoho] Because I am Sousar!!
-4 Sousar
[Zoom] Well... You don't need to come with me --. For I am Sousar!! (note: he is talking to Pia and Rufa.)
Both

[Tahdah] [Sign: Love Castle (ie -- Love Hotel)]

Wh... what a gaudy castle...

125
-1
[Note: The Real Castle]
-2 Gil
Where is my stupid son, Sonic?
Anna
He said that he was going inland...
-3 Anna
He has undoubtedly hooked another young girl (ie -- the merboy went fishing again.)
-4
[Whoosh]
-5 Anna
[Smash] [Blink] !?
-8 Gil
I want him to bring me one of those (girlfriends).
Anna
Hey!

126
-1 Mink
Ummm...
-2 Mink
When will His Highness be arriving?
Sousar
He's coming.
-3 Sousar
Accordingly... Sousar thinks it proper that you slip out of your armor.
-4 Mink
[Reveal] Well... All right.
-5 Sousar
[Push] Hah!!
Mink
Shriek!?
-6 Sousar
Don't bother resisting, because I am Sousar...
Mink
Eh -- !?

      I am missing the January 1992 issues of both Newtype and Dragon magazines. And the December 1991 issue of Dragon. So I don't have episodes #46 and 47 of Dragon Half.
