And the fact was that it was entirely possible that the doctor could have another Master who would be just as bad as her last one.
Of course, it would be strange for her Master to own a woman so much older than him, but then there was some... status among the guys his age who'd had 'special' slaves. Thankfully he wasn't one of them, but at least it wasn't like any ridicule would really come their way, at least not in bulk. And with her not being full use, it would only be because they wanted to be together that they would be, though he would never force any slave of his into something like that.
Still, he wouldn't mind what she'd done once he heard Doctor Mizuno's story. He would likely do the same if he was in her place, and would appreciate her actions. His father would be a problem on the other hand, though free and on call medical care would be something that even he could appreciate. Just not having to go to a clinic for treatment would be helpful, and if anything, Genma didn't like to spend money if he didn't have to.
Slipping from the tub, she towled herself off, and headed over to get dressed so that she could get herself a companion.
The clerk gazed up at the lovely young slave girl in front of him and gave her a meaningful look. "Now, are you sure that you want to do this?"
"Yes sir. I have met with the slave, and I think that she'll be well owned by my Master," Makoto replied, schooling her features to show none of the nervousness she felt.
"And you are allowed to do this?"
"Yes sir. My Master's given me his permission to use his money to buy whatever I need to."
"I see..," the clerk commented, though it was more routine that he asked the questions. The fact was that Kumori Mizuno was 'damaged' by her previous owner's actions and the government was reluctant to put any slave who'd gone through that sort of situation into one where similar events could take place. But this Saotome kid had recommendations that were much higher than someone of his age should have. Looking at his current slave confirm them, and the woman did need a Master at the moment. "Then I suppose that I can do only one thing."
"What's that, sir?"
"Make Ranma Saotome the owner of one Kumori Mizuno. Finish with these forms, and we'll be done."
Makoto had to keep herself from yanking the papers out of his hand in excitement. She'd been afraid that she'd get into trouble for what she was doing, even though she knew that it was perfectly legal for her to do so. It would be a surprise to both owner and slave, but she was sure that it would work out.
So she handed back the papers and completed her task, waiting until she was able to leave before letting her happy grin show while:
