With the young man in front of her, Nodoka knew what Integra’s off-handed explanation meant. If she went with this young man that would neatly handle everything, but she’d have to play slave for him.
He certainly was interesting. For a martial artist capable of winning a tournament, he had a rather cutely innocent air about him. Not completely clueless, he seemed to have some street smarts, but an oddly nice young man. As someone familiar with the underworld she knew the type, he had a good heart but had been pressed into enough shady dealings to make him wary. Him she could trust, she just had to make sure someone else didn’t have their hooks into him.
Grinning at the thought of getting her hands on him, Nodoka addressed the young man. “Well young Master, do you think you can handle me?”
Ranma for his part looked her over, noting she was the largest person in the room. Not only was she the tallest in the room, but she had a very curvy figure barely hidden under that fancy kimono of hers. Her curves were enhanced by her muscles however, particularly an extra fullness to her thighs that accentuated her hips. “Well, I don’t think we’re supposed to fight, but if you know martial arts I’m up for training. Pops gets distracted with these crazy ideas of his and forgets to train sometimes.”
The crimson haired woman simply had a chuckle at his response. “Not exactly the kind of physical exercise I meant. That part about you is cute boy, but I meant in the bedroom. You do know what to do with a amorous woman, right? Why it’s one of the few nice things about having a healthy young man as a Master.”
Gulping at the implication, Ranma turned his questioning gaze to the blond administrator. “I thought this was for a legal guardian thing?”
Humming thoughtfully to herself, Integra considered the young man for a moment. “Well of course, but that is certainly part of the contract. If a young woman is to be by your side, she certainly can’t find love in another young man’s arms now, can she? The details are between you and that particular slave in the contract, but you should decide whether you’ll love her yourself or give her some personal time to fulfill those needs elsewhere.”
Staring at her blankly before glancing at the young women and their little smiles, Ranma snapped his gaze back to Integra. “You mean... you make it sound like... I mean girls aren’t supposed to actually want that...”
Integra had a chuckle at his rambling before politely interrupting him. “They’re not school girls. They’re young women. Along with a certain amount of maturity comes knowing ones own desires. Honestly the arrangement isn’t too unlike marriage, think of them as wives that will submit to your will. You will be Lord of the House so to speak.”
Going from panic to relaxation at her interruption, Ranma looked to his potential slaves in turn to gauge their reactions.
Kasumi blushed with a smile before bowing politely.
Sopu the pink-haired amazon simply smiled and nodded her head before bowing.
Nodoka in turn bore a very pleased grin as she steadily returned his gaze before briefly bowing.
When Ranma looked towards his old friend and her mother he was really confused about how that might turn out. The older woman however patted the spot beside her and Ami scooted up with a blush to kneel beside her mother. When they both bowed towards him, Ranma felt the need to clarify. “Both of you?”
Knowing her daughter could probably do little more than squeak in embarrassment at the moment, Kumori gently spoke up for her. “Yes, she seems to still be fond of you. As long as it doesn’t interfere with her studies, please resume training her as well.”
Seeing that everyone involved seemed satisfied with the situation, Integra spoke up. “Very well then, I believe the case of actual guardian would be between Mizuno-san and Tendo-san, but I’m sure they can all give you guidance. A mature woman is quite nice for a young man in that way, and lucky you, you get four plus two pretty girls.”
Her personal amusement with the situation out of the way, Integra moved on to actual arrangements. “You’re free to get to know your chosen ones now, we can leave the actual contracts for after a trial period.”
Hearing that Ranma beckoned to his girls, and the five chosen slowly got up, a bit stiff from all the kneeling. Seeing the big group, Ranma turned his attention to Rei. “Should we use your room for a meeting?”
Rei for her part stared in response, not used to having her opinion being asked for anything, much less wishing to respond to such things. After a short moment however she got over her shock. “That would seem convenient.”
Ranm in turn simply waited patiently before nodding to her, then waved his little harem over. “Alright, let’s go.”
Once they were all in Rei’s room, some sitting on the bed and working the kinks out of their knees, Ranma decided to ask the big question. “So, where are we all gonna stay?”
