"You're giving both of them to me for free then ?" Ranma couldn't believe his luck ! Usually, when Nabiki took advantage of him, he couldn't do anything about it. Maybe there was justice in this world after all...
"Yes, Saotome-san. This is standard company policy in this case. Unless, you want Ranko here dismantled and exchanged for another model from our catalog..."
The sad look Kumiko threw at the inactive red-headed android convinced Ranma of the fact that she considered such a course of action the equivalent of ordering her 'sister' to be put to death (Actually, she understood that they were both machines and such events happen but this is Ranma here. A girl looking like that or crying was always a sign of a major catastrophe about to happen for him).

The wall panel closed on Ranko, putting her out of sight "It will take an hour or two until both of them are ready. We have a waiting room with multimedia and written documents on our products if you want to learn more about your future companion..."
Ranma wondered what multimedia meant. Couldn't be that important if it wasn't martial arts-related "Yeah, thanks. Maybe I'll do that..."
He went away from the counter and was instantly replaced by another client. Until Akane, Maybe I should give her another name to prevent confusion... Naaah, since she's Kasumi's gift, I'll let her choose he thought, and Ranko's modifications were complete, he decided to...
