Keiichi returns home with chibi*-Belldandy and
Skuld, who's just had her powers restored and thus returned
to her normal form. They find Urd has reverted to the
form of a young child. Keiichi gives her the moon rock
he made but it only restores her to a slightly older
form. Belldandy determines that the rock's power has
been used up. She wonders if something went wrong in
the creation of the rock which would prevent it from
putting out full power. Keiichi tells Urd he'll buy
her some clothes at the thrift shop which angers her.
Later,
Urd admires herself in the mirror wearing a new outfit.
She leaves the temple and heads into town. Soon, she
becomes weak and dizzy and is found by a boy that is
the same age Urd appears to be. She pleads for him to
buy her some sake which he reluctantly does since he
is smitten with her. Upon consuming the sake, Urd begins
to feel better. She feels bad that the boy spent his
money on her, but he doesn't mind and tells her he can
buy the new video game Kintaro Tycoon II later.
As
he shows her the first game on the portable player,
she begins to play it. The boy admires her greatly as
he watches Urd play. She soon has beaten the game but
he has more. After a long while, Urd admits to the boy
that she had fun as she gets ready to return home. Shohei
Yoshida finally introduces himself to her and she returns
the favor. She promises Shohei to be back tomorrow if
he is. The hearts that float around him confirm he will
be back.
Once
home, Urd finds Skuld and Keiichi attempting to figure
out what went wrong with the moon rock creation. Keiichi
apologizes for not having a solution but Urd tells him
there's no rush. This leads Belldandy to wonder if something
good happened to Urd.
The
following day, Urd is waiting for Shohei. Rather than
play another video game, Urd grabs Shohei's hand and
leads him to a construction site. He is unsure, but
he follows her lead as she leads him into the metal-framed
building being constructed and to the top level. She
walks a beam to the edge of the building but Shohei
is afraid. With Urd's encouragement, Shohei gathers
to courage to join her at the edge. The reward for his
efforts is a wonderful view of the city below next to
Urd.
Urd
walks Shohei to his home. He wants to know where she
lives, but Urd tells him it is a secret and if he knew,
the magic would end. She returns home to find that Keiichi
and Skuld have found the solution to make a proper moon
rock. She tells them it can wait until tomorrow and
she climbs up on the roof to think about Shohei. As
she does, he shows up on the temple grounds. Belldandy
wonders if Urd has fallen for Shohei which Urd denies.
She decides that time is up and returns inside to take
the new moon rock. Urd is restored to her normal self,
then goes and meets Shohei at the door. She explains
to him that her little sister had left and wouldn't
be returning. However, Urd tells him that her little
sister left him a message and kisses him on the forehead,
thanking him for the fun she had.
