Persephone smiled and said, "My Lord Husband and I want you to leave Nerima and move to Juuban Ranma. Staying in Nerima will only hurt your ability to help other mortals at this point Ranma. We know that you care for your family and friends in Nerima, but they simply aren't good for Hades Kamen or Sailor Persephone. You're barely able to get away now to train in your powers do to your associates constantly hounding you for a cure. It is simply best in the long run for you to leave Nerima and never return."
As Ranma listened to Persephone speak he felt like his heart was being torn out. He deeply cared about his friends in Nerima and, even though he wasn't in love with any of his fiancees, he didn't want them to be hurt because of him leaving Nerima. However, Ranma couldn't deny that it would be easier for him to fulfill his duties as Hades Kamen if the fiancees and rivals were out of the picture.
It was the classic dilemma: duty verses desire. Which was more important to him? What he wanted to do or what he was called to do? Ranma stood silent for a minute as he argued with himself about what he should do. After a minute Ranma opened his eyes and said, "I'll leave as soon as I wake up Persephone."
Hades smiled and said, "Once again Ranma, you make my wife and I proud to call you our champion. When you wake up you will find a small envelope in your backpack. This envelope will have a key to a postbox down at the local post office. Inside that box you will find all the documents needed so that you will be emancipated and the new owner of a reasonable home in Juuban."
Persephone took over the conversation now and said, "When you get to your new home Ranma there will a series of documents that will tell you how to access a special bank account that we've just set up for you. If you're going to be risking your life protecting people and being our champion then its only proper that we reward you. Its not a great salary, but its definitely more then the average general makes. Oh and before I forget, reveal your identity to Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune next time you help them out. It will help them trust you."
Ranma bowed his head and said, "As you wish." With that said he was dismissed and his patrons' palace vanished.
