Kasumi reached the clothesline and noted several of the clothespins held
nothing. "Oh dear, Happosai seems to have stolen all of the women's
underwear again." It made collecting and folding the clothing easier, since
there was less of it, but there were always complications. Like if she had
to go out and it rained and she hadn't brought along an umbrella. Everyone
tended to stare, although she always got the best prices from the male
vendors when haggling over wares. It was probably because they felt sorry
for her since she had no undergarments to wear. It was nice to know people
could be so sympathetic.
How very nice of them.
"Bah! Younger girls would not be able to use the powers I will give you
either wisely or effectively. You have been chosen because you have the
highest potential to accept the power and use it to the greatest of {: your}
abilities. There is also the fact that your yard was directly below the
entry portal to this realm and you're the first person I saw. I heard your
wish about seeking power to make right the world, so I have come forth to
give the ability to do so unto you."
Kasumi did so and a glow consumed her body. The ball changed its form as she
grasped it. It had the touch of cold metal, and it formed a hilt for her to
grab onto. One side of {to :} it became elongated, becoming more slender as it
grew to nearly a meter in length. Jagged projections lined one side of the
instrument, while the other maintained a keen razor-sharp edge.
Kasumi felt her body changing. She became several centimeters taller, and
felt her mass increase tremendously. Her body become larger, all of the
additional mass {it :} well-defined muscle backed by even more strength than
even {they : it} should have given her. Her hair grew and became a thick tawny
mess, like Brackgaugh's was. And her bust grew to very impressive
proportions.
Kasumi waved at him. "Bye-Bye, Magical Girl Creating Type Creature. I hope
you have better luck next time."
Once he had flown out of sight, Kasumi went back to taking down the dried
clothes. It was odd, but for some curious reason, the clotheslines seemed to
have sagged from their proper height, and were instead much lower.
And then Kasumi looked down at herself. "Oh dear."
If he's going to create another Magical Girl, can she change her Magical
Girl name? Maybe he'll pick another name because of the problems she had
with Bloodmaker; Pretty Bloody perhaps.
It was at that moment Kasumi entered the room, dressed in her leather outfit
and with her sword strapped to her back. She set the trays bearing the food
down on the table, and set plates of rice, miso soup, and sukiyaki before
everyone. The remaining plate, the one with the four pound loin of beef so
rare it was {practically :} still bleeding, she set in front of her spot. Once
she was seated, they began to dig in, Kasumi ripping into the haunch with a
speed and fury that put even Genma to shame.
Ranma warned, "You shouldn't mess with them. Youma are nasty creatures that
have terrible powers and {absorbs : absorbe} people's life force and stuff."
"Bah, they're about as dangerous as giant dust bunnies." Kasumi scoffed, and
went back to ripping her side of meat to shreds."
Depends on the dust bunnies I suppose.
Kasumi laughed and playfully slapped Ranma across the back, an easy feat
with her larger armspan. She easily slammed his face into the table, burying
it there. "You're so silly, Ranma."
Everyone laughed in agreement with that.

Not meant to be anything other than a cheap laugh. Hope it worked.
Oh my. (Somebody had to say it.)
