Nabiki noticed the greatly increased attention her new body was gathering. She was still an elven version of Nabiki, but she had enough muscle tone and buxom figure that it would have looked more appropriate on Ranma-chan.
Nabiki’s new home, her owner’s adventure gear shop, was still very busy. Almost as busy as it had been on Nabiki’s second day there. Her owner was running himself ragged trying to keep up with all the customers. He double-took when he recognized Nabiki. It looked like he was very tempted to have her take over sales, but thought better of it. He waved her upstairs.
Nabiki had dinner ready when her owner closed shop.
"The crowds are still coming. I can’t keep up with them. My stock is really running low because I've barely had time to order more.", he mused.
"Just after you bought me, I paid a bunch of the kids around here to steer adventurers here and start a whisper campaign.", Nabiki informed him. "They’re paid-off till the end of today."
Her owner suddenly looked more worried than harried. "Is that how you did it? … It worked too well. At this rate, I’m concerned that mob is going to show up again any evening now."
"When I made the arrangements, I didn’t expect to undo them, and it would have taken all day if I tried. I just hoped things would get back to normal before the mob came back.", Nabiki admitted with some chagrin.
"The leader of that mob is not known for his patience."
"But you can honestly say I wasn’t working at the store for the last several days."
"That probably won’t pacify him this time. I should have closed up shop for a week. I guess I got greedy too. It goes against the grain of a proper merchant to turn away customers."
"I’ll think of something if they show up again.", the shopkeeper finally concluded after an unsatisfying pause.
They continued to eat dinner.
Nabiki’s owner finally relaxed about his anxieties enough to notice his surroundings again.
"Nabiki, what happened to you today? You’re a lot more easy on the eyes now and it looks like you’ve put on an astonishing amount of muscle."
Nabiki shared her odd tale. Her owner was really the only one around who would listen to her at all. Even edited, it sounded pretty unbelievable, even to her. Emotionally, she felt better afterwards. But she was kicking herself internally for revealing more than she was comfortable with. This was her owner, he had unreasonable power over her, and she was baring her soul to him.
The shopkeepers private designs on getting Nabiki into his bed were shelved for the evening though.
The mob did show up again, soon after they had gone to their separate beds.
Her owner quickly joined Nabiki at the window.
"Nabiki, I just had an idea. If it works, we’ll both get what we want. I’m sorry, it’ll be pretty ugly for you, but just remember what you did with that dwarf and I think it’ll work out."
Nabiki pondered his words as she was then led to meet the mob leader again. She was not looking forward to this.
It was astonishing to Nabiki that the mob leader hadn’t torched the shop yet. He was being so unreasonable and demanding. Being around that kind of attitude stirred frightening responses in her. She was very glad she wasn’t expected to speak. Finally the leader was pacified when her owner offered to give Nabiki to the leader and close up shop for a couple days.
Nabiki felt betrayed and terrified as she found herself following her new master. Nabiki was chilled when she heard some of the other mobsters complain that they wanted a piece of her too. But her new owner successfully intimidated them into dropping their claims.
Her new owner blindfolded her and took her to a hotel. Her submissiveness disadvantage had come into full play, and she could do little but go along with him. Even when he started to rape her. In another odd moment of full mental clarity in the midst of great stress, Nabiki remembered the last words her previous owner had addressed to her.
Nabiki managed to shut out the distasteful reality around her as she metaphysically linked with her new owner as she’d learned to in the past few days of intensive training. She tried again to trigger the cheat code snippet that had been linked to her. It felt familiar, and she hoped desperately that the feeling was more than just wishful thinking. With all her soul, she willed her submissiveness and slavery bonds on the man raping her. She was starting to feel aroused but was unsure of the true reason when she passed out.
When she awoke:
