Gifted Heroes Eva: Let's wrap this up
Unending BE - episode 565061
"I see it might be at that," the man said, now with a smile. "But don't worry; you will have time to assimilate all of it, I’m sure. In the mean time let's sign these papers so you can go on your way. And I'll give you some clothes for your girls."
"That would be, uh, nice, thanks," the boy said, surprising himself with the tone of disappointment in his voice at the thought of covering the girls’ bodies. He immediately chided himself, realizing that taking them out in their current state would not be practical, to say the least. That thought brought another question to mind.
“Um, I’m sorry,” the teen said in his standard fashion, “but, how are we all supposed to go to Misato, um, Misato-san’s apartment? I came by train and then I walked here, but my father didn’t mention when or how I was going to get back.”
“Hmm,” Shiroi considered Shinji’s question while clicking on a pad he was carrying. “I would have suggested that you used Miss Katsuragi’s car.” At the teen’s questioning face he pointed to Misato and clarified, “Misato Katsuragi’s car.” Shinji nodded in understanding, so the salesman continued. “However, in her current state she would be worse at driving than how she normally is.”
Both males were a little surprised when Misato spoke at that moment in a monotone. “I am the property of Shinji Ikari. Only he can criticize my way of driving.”
Shiroi just laughed a little at that. “Well, she seems to be coming around a little.” He then turned to look at Shinji. “However, I would consider letting her rest for a full day before having her driving you or any of your slaves anywhere. That also goes for any demanding or too involved activity you can think for any of them… unless you want to continuously supervise them and be quite precise in your orders.”
“Ah, okay. Got it”
“Sex should be no problem, though.”
“Ahem, yes, thanks. I got that!” Despite all that he had seen, Shinji was again as red as a tomato.
“Very well,” the salesman smiled again. “I’m sure we can have a specialized transport unit ready for you and your slaves in a few minutes. Let’s get all this paperwork out of the way and see about their clothing first.”
After quickly making Shinji sign whatever was placed in front of him, Shiroi excused himself for a moment while he got all the documentation in place and arranged for some clothes to be brought to the girls.

In another plane of reality but still inside an official Slave Market facility, Kuroda stopped the video feed from the Tokyo-3 branch that was currently assisting the young Ikari. Interdimensional transmissions were expensive after all, and it seemed as if they would have to cut on some operating costs.
It had just come to his attention while checking Shinji’s feeds that there was no need (or budget) to follow the Human Enhancement Project on mister Ranma Saotome’s universe after all (the universe Kuroda was currently in). The event that would trigger the need for such project would simply not occur there. Aside from that, he had just been informed by the legal department that their clients would not cover the costs for an ongoing operation outside of their local universe.
It had been at Seele’s insistence in checking the staggering fees from Slave Market that the group of monoliths had realized that they were paying for Instrumentality in a number of parallel universes aside from their own. That kind of endeavor had not been in their plans or within their budget.
Well, what did they expect after asking for help from a multidimensional company? One would think that they would have marked the option ‘single universe’ in the contract form in the first place. Instead, Seele had demanded an immediate restructuring of the contract and a full stop to all outside Instrumentality operations. No worries, though. They hadn’t really started looking for ‘assets’ in most of the other universes, aside from the one he was currently working on, and the plan hadn’t advanced that much with this Ranma subject that many changes had to be done.
It was still in their best interests that Ranma had as many superhero type slaves as possible, so that would stay as it was. It was just that now the breeding would be optional and at Ranma’s consideration. New slave assignments for Ranma would be done at Slave Market’s discretion or by normal transactions. Recalling the cameras and monitoring devices already in place would be too much of a hassle to bother with, even though close monitoring wouldn’t be necessary now. Kuroda figured the personnel could be reassigned to some other project, and he could check the occasional feed personally if needed. All in all, the worst problem would be for the accounting and legal departments in trying to create a new contract and successfully billing Seele for the expenses already incurred.
Anyway, he would be off to see this Ranma character leave with his new slaves. He could always check later the progress of Ikari Shinji, the only guy who would actually be giving Instrumentality a push in its intended universe.

While he waited for the older man to return, the single recipient of Instrumentality had turned around and walked towards the row of slaves, still as rigid and excited as when they first came in (the girls, not Shinji… well, him too).
“Um, girls?” he tried tentatively.
“Yes, Master?” A chorus of monotones answered him.
He was just trying to get a grip on the situation, and he figured the best way would be to practice giving orders and get to know his slaves. It was still a little overwhelming to hear that kind of answer coming from five nude beautiful girls, but he figured he should better get used to it… at least a little.
“Um, hi. I’m Shinji, butIguessyoualreadyknowthat,” he finished in a mumble while lowering his gaze. He couldn’t believe how lame he sounded. Even with completely enslaved girls, he still sucked at talking to females. But seeing as he was not getting laughed at and was just given a respectful silence, he turned to look at them and tried again.
“OK, ah, girls. As I understand, we… we will be living together from now on.” Waiting a bit for a reaction from his words, he got nothing but pure attention, so he continued. “I… I guess that right now you don’t see anything wrong with that.” He smiled goofily with a hand behind his head as a chorus of ‘no, Master’ was heard.
“Anyway, ahem,” he caught himself and tried for a more serious tone, straightening up a little. “I hope we can all get along. I have really no idea of what will happen next or what to do but I’ll do my best to be a good Master… whatever that means.”
He thought he would start babbling if he said anything else, and who knows what that could do to a group of suggestible minds, so he ended it with: “so, any of you can think of anything that I should know before we leave?”
He raised his face to look at them in the eyes, since he had been unconsciously looking lower at all those attractive bits.
After a little while, a single voice was heard.
“Master?” Hikari asked.
“Yes?”
“Before today I lived with my two sisters and as far as I know, they don’t know where I am.”
“That has been taken care of already,” said Shiroi while returning with a few store slaves carrying packages.
“It has?”
“Yes.”
“How so?”
“Simply enough, we:
- made them your slaves too. They are already waiting for you at Misato Katsuragi’s place.”
- made them your slaves too. They will keep on living where they used to but they will be okay with their sister living with you. And they can visit as often as you like.”
- *brainwashed them into thinking there’s nothing wrong with their sister living with you. And they can visit often.”
- made an exception with Hikari in the living arrangements. She will be living with her sisters as usual and pretend she is visiting Asuka at your place whenever you need her.”
- thought of something really clever.”
