"Oh my..," Kasumi said as she looked at the blonde. "Why don't you make yourself comfortable."
"Thanks! It's been a bit of trip, and it'll be nice to relax."
"I see... Don't worry, I'll be but a moment."
Nabiki came in as her sister was leaving, so she asked, "Who is this?"
"She's Ranma's assistant, Minako. Why don't you and Akane keep her company while I get some extra cups?"
