After Ranma had explained his situation and introduced Mihoshi, Ukyo sighed and put her hands against her temples. “Only you, Ranchan….” When her best friend/fiancé had walked into an otherwise empty Ucchan’s followed by a cheerfully bubbly blonde girl, Ukyo had originally assumed the most logical conclusion (well, logical by Neriman standards, at least): Ranma had found another fiancée, and his stupid panda of a father had yet another beating coming to him. But that this girl would be a genie… well, it did explain the harem getup (complete with see-through pants), if nothing else.
In all honesty, Ukyo wasn’t sure what she found to be the most surprising about the situation: the fact that Ranma had found a genie, the fact that he had had the prescience of mind to ask for advice about his wish, or the fact that she actually found the whole thing to be plausible. That’s not to say that she was totally convinced that Mihoshi was actually a genie, but given the general craziness of Ranma’s life, it definitely wasn’t outside the realm of possibility. Maybe I need a vacation from Nerima. This place is nuts.
“Uh, Ucchan? Are ya okay?”
“Sure, Ranchan — why do you ask?”
“Well, ya just sorta blanked out on me there.”
“Uh, yeah, sorry about that; I was just thinking to myself, that’s all.”
“Oh. Okay.”
The chef returned to her interior monologue as she tired to decide how best to respond to Ranma’s decidedly unusual request for assistance. Might as well assume it’s true, she thought to herself. If she’s just a nut, I’m only out a few minutes of my time, but if it’s true… then I actually have a chance to help Ranchan. “Okay, Ranma, I’ll help you. You just want some advice, right?”
“Um, actually, I was hopin’ ya could make the wish for me.”
Ukyo was dumbfounded by this particular revelation. She knew Ranma was trusting, of course, but this? “Wait — you want me to make your wish? Shouldn’t you do that yourself?”
“Eh, I ain’t no good with words; I’d probably mess it up. Don’t worry, Ucchan, I trust ya ta make a good decision.” He turned to Mihoshi. “That ain’t against the rules, is it?”
“Um, I don’t think so,” the blonde replied.
Ukyo took a deep breath before speaking up again. “Um, okay, but I don’t know if I could think of a wish that would take care of all your problems.”
“That’s alright — just try an’ get rid of some of the bigger ones if ya can.”
“Well, alright, I’ll give it a shot….”
