The story begins up in Heaven. A mysterious woman who
we have not met before sits alone, and speaks to herself
of how she senses a heart crying out for help on Earth
down below. The woman proclaims that she will personally
heal this damaged heart by granting their very deepest,
darkest desire
Meanwhile,
on Earth, we find Keiichi showing Belldandy some photographs
of her he had taken with his new camera that he bought
from Megumi. As Belldandy admires the photographs, she
leans ever closer to Keiichi, sending the poor boy into
near hysterics over being so close to his loving Goddess.
Of course, this special moment is interrupted, as always,
by the arrival of Urd and Skuld (Skuld wanted to make
sure the two werent getting too close, and Urd
wanted to admire Keiichis photos). Wanting to
get away from these two, Keiichi decides to go inside
the house and call Megumi to invite her over to see
the pictures.
Keiichi
picks up the phone and dials a number, but just like
his first meeting with Belldandy, it seems fate has
more in store for our hero. Instead of Megumis
voice on the other end, it is a voice of a very passionate
young woman who states she has been dying for his call,
and will personally appear before him to grant his hearts
desire. Before Keiichi can even say a word, a brilliant
beam of light shoots out from the camera lens lying
on the table nearby, and from out of the beam forms
the beautiful Goddess First Class, Type Two Unlimited
Peorth. It is the same woman we saw in the opening
scene in Heaven.
Peorth
makes a grand entrance, complete with elegant and sexy
poses as she announces her name. While the Goddess tries
to figure out which entrance pose she likes better,
poor Keiichi is trying to deal with the fact that hes
done it again, and brought another Goddess into his
life. As expected, Peorth has come to grant Keiichi
a wish. Unfortunately, as Keiichi explains, hes
kind of full with Goddesses. Peorth is confused by his
response, but gets her answer when Urd enters the room.
Both Goddesses are naturally shocked to see each other.
As if that werent enough, Skuld enters the room
shortly afterward, which sends Peorths head spinning
even more. How can a human have two Goddesses in his
house? Of course, the situation turns even worse for
the new Goddess when Belldandy enters the room. Belldandy
is happy to see Peorth again, but the fourth Goddess
seems less than thrilled by Bells arrival, and
treats her quite coldly. It seems that Peorth works
for a rival agency up in Heaven, and she is determined
to grant Keiichis wish, as he summoned her over
the phone. Keiichi tries to explain to Belldandy how
it happened, but she obviously cant help but be
a little hurt that he has summoned another Goddess over
the phone.
Changing
the subject, Peorth decides to get to work at granting
Keiichis deepest desire within his heart. Keiichi
insists theres nothing he wants from her, but
Peorth is determined. He tries wishing that Peorth would
go back home, but shes not falling for that. Seeing
the three other goddesses here makes Peorth think they
are here because Keiichi summoned them all, and cant
make up his mind on what to wish for. Imagine her surprise
when she discovers Belldandy is contracted to stay with
Keiichi, and the wish that he made when they first met
long ago. Peorth simply cannot believe that a wish for
a Goddess to stay by a humans side for all time
would be approved by the Almighty.
Later
that night, Keiichi and the four Goddesses sit around
the kitchen table, trying to sort the situation out.
Peorth concludes that they have an overlapping contract
situation. Despite Keiichis contract with Belldandy,
Peorth must also be contracted to grant a wish of his,
and she refuses to leave until she does. It must not
be just any wish, but a wish that comes from Keiichis
very heart and soul. Keiichi tries to reassure Belldandy,
who he notices is looking rather depressed over this
whole situation, that everything will be fine. The gentle
Goddess forces out a smile, but Keiichi knows that something
is not right.
A
little while later, Keiichi sits alone in his room,
trying to decide what to wish for so he can get rid
of Peorth. Unknown to him, Peorth stands in the hallway
outside, determined to stop at nothing to discover and
grant Keiichis one true wish.
