Once dinner was over, Nodoka instructed Ranma to escort Tea back to her apartment. Nodoka figured that it would allow the two to get to know each other a little better without her presence. Even she knew that talking about sex in front of parents was very unsettling to most people.
At first the duo simply walked in silence to the train stop. They then had to wait for the rail to arrive and Anzu decided to try and break the silence. "So Ranma, what do you think about everything?"
Ranma glanced over to Anzu and replied, "How am I supposed to feel? This whole job just feels weird to me. Who else gets stuck with a mother who wants them to be a porn star? And you, no offense, but why do you care about how I feel?"
Anzu gave Ranma a glare and said, "I care Ranma because that's the kind of person that I am. Just because I work in the Adult Industry does not mean that I can't care about how others feel. Is that whats bugging you? Do you think that I'm just acting around you?"
The pigtailed young man didn't answer Anzu. All he did was sheepishly look at the ground. Anzu quickly caught on to Ranma's message and rolled her eyes. She then placed her hand on his shoulder and said, "Look at me Ranma. I promise you here and now that I'll never pretend how things are between us. When I suggest something and mean it for work I'll tell you. In return, I want you to be up front with me on the same issues."
Ranma perked up a bit when he heard Anzu's speech. Keeping things strictly professional would make things a lot easier for him. Sure, he'd still have the thermonuclear bomb going off if his fiancees ever found out about this job. But, at least he wouldn't have to worry about where he stood with Anzu. Ranma looked up at Anzu and stated, "Keep things between us strait. I got it."
Anzu smiled and continued on. "Now then Ranma, I'm going to ask you a couple of questions for work. Please be as honest with me as you can. Have you ever seen a naked woman, besides your other form?" Ranma gave Anzu a nervous nod that led to her next question. "Have you ever been in a room with a naked woman without either being attacked by the woman in question or tried to get away?" Ranma was so embarrassed by these questions, but he nevertheless shook his head. Next Anzu asked, "have you ever been naked in front of a woman?" Once she got her answer, Ranma's teacher asked, "Have you ever been naked in front of a woman without being attacked or being labeled a pervert?" This question was answered in the same manner as all the others.
For the next few minutes Anzu just silently thought about Ranma's situation and came up was plan. She then smiled at Ranma and said, "Here's what were going to do to get you ready for work Ranma. Our first lessons will involve you getting used to working around nude women. Thus, I want you to come over to my apartment this weekend. All we're going to do is hang out at my place and play a few games that I have. However, I'm going to be completely nude while we hang out. Once your comfortable with me in the buff, you're going to be going a la natural. We won't hit any of the adult stuff until you're completely comfortable understood?"
Ranma gulped as he listened to Anzu's plan and thought about all the ways it could go wrong. He thought of everything from the fiancees finding out to previously unknown practitioners of erotic martial arts attacking. Plans just had the habit of blowing up in his face. However, Ranma was a little touched by the fact that Anzu was trying to help him out and he agreed to her plan. The rail for Anzu's stop then pulled into the station. Anzu slipped Ranma a small piece of paper with her number and address before getting on the train.
