Motoko had wanted to escape the Hinata inn's antics for a little while and decided to search for a secluded spot to meditate. Usually, she would go to the roof or near the house to do this but today, Urashima and the others were really getting on her nerves. No one would look for her in the basement and bother her.
She was a little surprised at the ancient-looking ruins (and a little freaked out by the turtle motif) she found there. When she found the laptop computer who was standing anachronistically on this huge altar, she was more than intrigued.
Even if computers weren't her forte, she had learned to use them in high school. She powered it up and waited for the OS to start. The fact that the strange-looking hyeroglyphs on the screen morphed into japanese ideograms during startup was unnerving but the heir of the Shinmei school of kenjutsu would not let herself be intimidated by some piece of machinery !
Welcome to MasterPC, the program who let you be the master of your environment.
Motoko raised an eyebrow at this and clicked on the start command, activating the menu.
1. Master yourself
2. Master the others
3. Master your world
4. Exit
*This program is... odd, to say the least* Motoko clicked on 2 and another menu appeared.
Type name and surname of the person you wish to master :
She sighed and thought about this. Deciding that if she had the power to make someone obey (er... repent, that's it ! repent !) her in this house, it would be the kanrinrin.
URASHIMA KEITARO [Enter]
1. Physical modifications
2. Mental modifications
3. Exotic modifications
4. Return to name entry
Motoko selected physical modifications and was treated to a realistic naked 3D model of the hapless ronin. Blushing at the display of anatomic correctedness, she saw that she could input various changes in the physical statistics there.
She hesitated, this whole thing looked like one of Suu's pranks. Once she used this program, the indian girl would surely show the computer save files to everyone to embarrass her on what she would change in Keitaro had she the power to do it, that was surely her plan ! She obviously expected her to be mean and petty, to virtually remodel him into something more pathetic than his natural state...
Motoko had always had ambivalent feelings for Urashima. He was a disgusting pervert and a loser but sometimes, she could see a nice and decent person shine through.
Her decision was made. She would make him into the man of her dreams (virtually), besides it was just a computer program, right ? Nothing would come out of this except for a little teasing later.
First, to beef him up, the poor guy needed more muscles if he wanted to do his chores more efficiently...
*****
Keitaro was dragging himself back to Hinata-Sou after another flight courtesy of Narusegawa when the changes hit. He gained several centimeters in height and width. His scrawny build was replaced by a muscled, athletic one (Motoko disliked bodybuilders). His sight became blurred but returned to normal when he took his glasses off. Somehow, he knew that his face wasn't the same by touch.
When Motoko used the mental changes menu, she gave him several new sets of skills she would like in a perfect husband : housekeeping, cooking, massage techniques, erotic know-how *blush, twitch*, enough medical knowledge to patch her up lovingly after a fight and some other little things...
She came upon the martial arts menu and added mastery of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu kenjutsu to the mix. A proper husband for her would have to be a good sparring partner as well. She wasn't into manga much but Rurouni Kenshin was one of her favorites. To be able to fight a swordsman as skilled as the Battousai or Seijuro Hiko, it would be a dream come true !
A bokken appeared in Keitaro's hand. A second later, he shrugged. He never went anywhere without a weapon since becoming the 18th master of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu.
Motoko had let herself being caught in her own game and continued to make changes to make Keitaro more appealing to her in a romantic way. His mentality was next. When seeing the 'Love and loyalty to the girl of the promise (Naru/Mutsumi ?)', she changed it by putting herself as the girl of the promise.
She noticed something wrong though, his libido factor was too low for the pervert she knew he was *Kaolla has understimated his lecherousness, she's still young and innocent*
That's when she slipped up and hit the wrong button on the keyboard. Keitaro's libido was risen to "Kintaro Oe/Ryo Saeba' levels", whatever it could mean.
Outside, a glint appeared in Keitaro Urashima's eyes. Hinata-Sou was there, full of beautiful and sexy young women. Charge !
Motoko was about to correct her blunder when she heard an explosion followed by the sounds of a ferocious fight. She saved her game, close the laptop and dashed outside, bokken drawn.
When she came to the battlesite, her eyes boggled, her jaw fell to the floor and her wooden sword clattered on the ground. Disbelief at the scene before her was evident on her face, it was simply impossible !
Keitaro Urashima, looking like her idealized version on the Master PC, having just finished his opponent who was...
