  Volume 3 Chapter 23 - What a Miracle  
 


The members and supporters of the Nekomi Tech Motor Club are feeling good now that they've passed the qualifying heats. In fact spirits are so high that Tamiya does a cheerleader dance! While Belldandy goes off to change clothes, Keiichi examines the vehicle he will be driving with her - a Mazda T2000 Offroad Special. It is a 3-wheeled truck with 3-wheel drive and Otaki lists off all the other special things they've had installed into it.

Meanwhile, Belldandy finishes changing in team van while Aoshima locks her inside. Since Belldandy and Keiichi are in the race together, if she doesn't show, they will be disqualified. Keiichi starts to become concerned until she falls out of the rear-view mirror. Aoshima spots her in the truck with Keiichi and goes nuts trying to figure it out. Urd observes Aoshima's reactions and decides that maybe she'd better keep a watch on the couple. She takes a piece of her earring and tosses it into their truck.

The race is an off-road race which is done in rally format, so making certain checkpoints in certain times is important. At these checkpoints, the driver is required to take a test of some kind. Keiichi and Belldandy make the first checkpoint and get a perfect score of 0. However, at the testing station, Aoshima has bribed the tester to give Keiichi the hardest test. He solves it in two minutes.

The race continues and the American couple passes Keiichi and Belldandy. Belldandy has been using her power non-stop during the race and combined with her having to teleport through the mirror, she is beginning to get tired. Keiichi notices this, but she attempts to play it off as nothing. She makes it through the second checkpoint, but after that, she soon falls fast asleep. Through the earring she tossed into the truck, a chibi-Urd* appears and provides Keiichi with a means of restoring Belldandy's power. Her job done, Urd promises to give Keiichi grief if he loses, then disappears. With Belldandy's help and Keiichi's expert driving, they soon catch up and in the final leg, smoke the American team. While they've won the prize money, they get none of it because of how much food the pit crew consumed.
