Kasumi was waiting for Nabiki in her room. The was something oddly cold and stern about her and Nabiki knew she was about to get a dressing down. This was most unlike Kasumi’s sweet demeanor as she could get.
Finally, she spoke, “I am very disappointed in you young lady. I work hard to stretch the budget, and this is the thanks I get? What do you have to say for yourself?”
“Ah, it was just a few yen here and there.”
“No, it was not!” Kasumi insisted coldly. “You don’t know the things I have had to do to make ends meet. You are going to pay me back. With your body!”
“Wwwahat?” Nabiki demanded, uncertain she had heard correctly.
“You will work off your debt,” Kasumi explained. “Every last yen will be paid for in sweat and blisters. From now on, you will be doing the household chores. All of them. The cleaning, the cooking, the serving, everything! Do you understand me?”
This was most unlike Kasumi and Nabiki knew that there would be no wriggling out using the sympathy card. “Yes, Kasumi.”
“You will call me ‘Mistress Kasumi!’”
“What?”
“Do you have a problem with that? It’s time you learned your place in this household, and mine. I am mistress under this roof, and you… From now on, you will be the maid. I even have a uniform picked out already.”
“What uniform?”
“This one,” Kasumi said proudly. “Isn’t it cute?”
It was a maid’s outfit, certainly, but one not worn by any serious worker, and it was not cute by any stretch. It had more in common with Ranma’s bunny outfit than Nabiki cared for. It was too much, or too little, however you looked at it. “Oh come on! You have got to be kidding! It’s so, so, fanservicey!”
“No, I am serious. Completely! I have been so humiliated by your antics, so you will feel that humiliation as you work your debt off.”
