[Episode 263631] [Episode 263631]“What!??” Ranko shouted again. She sighed on finding out that was okay now; with all the excitement, Cynthia had fallen asleep in her arms. Still, she dropped her voice closer to a whisper, “How can anyone hate Cynthia.”
Ikuyo had waldo arms reach out for Cynthia. Ranko wouldn't let them have her. “Kasumi left her with me. I'll make sure nothing happens to her.”
“Suite yourself. It's on your head.” With that, the waldo arms snatched up Ranko.
“Hey!! No tentacles!”
“Silly, this isn't about sex.” The waldo arms carried Ranko (with Cynthia still asleep in her arms) towards a hole that opened up in a wall. “This is about *heh,heh* pneumatic tubes!” And the two of them were dropped down the chute.
Ranko joined Cynthia, by passing out. (Ranma would think because he was then a weak girl, unable to admit being maximally stress-out.)
She came to in bed. And she was naked. She thought of cloud nine.
Ranko rose immediately up – And was immediately pushed back by a haraigushi wand. “Lay back and keep still! Your treatment isn't complete!” a very authoritative voice told her.
Ranko wondered what kind of “treatment” this (beautiful) Shinto miko looming over her was giving her. As much of her body as she could see was covered with acupuncture needles. (Of course, those this body's big boobs got in the way of her seeing much of the body.) There were even ones in her nipples.
Ranma was ready to let Ranko take over body and mind. But without a true, full-blown phobia crisis, Ranma's male mind was stuck in Ranko's female body, it seemed.
The priestess chanted over her, waving her stick of paper wards. After some minutes, she declared, “I have done all that I can do. I cannot remove your curse.” With that she reached into her clothes space and in one motion changed out of her miko uniform and into a pale green maid's uniform with white lab coat. “And I cannot remove your phobias. For that, I'm sending you to the Psychology Department,” and she wrote out a prescription.
“You know about my phobias?!?” Then she'd know about her really being Ranma, right? Stupid: Of course she'd knows! Ikuyo sent me here to she could get a sample from my male body.
“I know you have three.” Three!?! What was the third fear?!! “But I only sense their presence in your soul; I do not know exactly what they are.”
Ranko looked again at all the needles stuck in *shudder* her. “I just came here to give a skin sample.”
“That's already been taken care of. It was best to do it while you were unconscious. I just threw hot water onto you, took a skin cutting from your solar plexus and then quickly threw cold water on you before your male presence was detected. I can report one-hundred percent success. With the cell culture growing in a super-nutrient solution in ideal lab conditions, there's enough of your “male essence” for cloud nine to be accessed.
“Of course, mere biology wouldn't have been enough to alleviate the current crisis. For the tattoo to appear on the skin, I, as a priestess, had to bind the cells together with part of your male soul.”
“What!?!!” Ranko sat up so quickly, her muscles so primed for martial arts action, that all the needles flew out of her body. Except the ones in her nipples. “What does that mean?!!”
The wand came out of nowhere and bobbed her on the head. “I just spent half-an-hour relieving you of your health-threatening stress! Don't make me have to do the treatment all over again!”
Despite her reaction, Ranko began to realize she was feeling more like the Ranma of yesterday, before coming to this maniac maid mansion. “???”
“I am sorry; but with your manliness always present, you will never be truly comfortable being a woman.”
Ranko's head spun. Is that a good or bad thing? A hundred different arguments, pro and con, circled each other violently in her head. To keep vertigo from setting in, she shifted gears. “Where's Cynthia?!”
