Since
her arrival at the Morisato house, the Goddess Peorth
has gone out of her way to grant Keiichis deepest
and most secret desire. Unfortunately, all of her efforts
to do this so far have resulted in nothing but agony
for him. A new day has begun, and as Peorth makes her
way down the hall, with most likely a new plan to win
over Keiichis favor in her head, Urd stops her.
She reminds Peorth of what she told her the other day,
about how Keiichis feelings for Belldandy are
too strong for Peorth to tamper with, but the determined
Goddess does not falter in her desire to accomplish
her mission. She accuses Urd of not understanding her
plight, seeing that she is a Goddess First Class, while
Urd is only a Second Class. This comment triggers the
competitive spirit within Urd, and it seems Skuld (who
was listening nearby) is also affected by her words.
It would appear a challenge is about to take place between
the three Goddesses
Meanwhile,
Keiichi and Belldandy sit together, enjoying breakfast,
unaware of the chaos that is brewing in the hall outside.
The peaceful moment is interrupted by the arrival of
the three feuding Goddesses. Urd, Skuld, and Peorth
have declared a contest to prove who is the most helpful
Goddess of all. With Keiichi acting as the sole judge
(not without his consent, of course), the three Goddesses
will prove amongst them who has the ability to make
Keiichi the happiest, and who can best fulfill his desires.
Belldandy tries to get the three to stop, as Keiichi
has not agreed to this, but it seems that the Goddesses
minds are made up.
Trying
to escape from this bad situation, Keiichi mentions
that he needs to get to class. Peorth, Urd, and Skuld
all use their individual magical methods of teleporting
Keiichi instantly to school, sending our poor hero away
in a gust of wind before he even has a chance to object.
As soon as hes gone, the three competing Goddesses
rush off to the Nekomi Tech campus, so they can continue
their battle. As soon as theyre all
gone, Belldandy, worried about whats happened
to Keiichi, steps outside and uses her ability to communicate
with animals to ask the birds in the sky to seek out
Keiichi, and see if hes all right. The birds scour
the city, only to find their man seated upon the very
top of the fountain statue thats in the middle
of the main campus. It seems that the teleportation
spell that all three of the Goddesses summoned didnt
exactly land him in the most appropriate spot
A
little while later, after finally getting down from
the statue, Keiichi and Belldandy sit together on a
bench, as he laments over his situation. Keiichi thanks
her for coming to find him, and states that he feels
shes done so much for him over the years, yet
he can never properly pay her back. Belldandy insists
this is not so, and that she is happy to just be there
for him when he needs her. Just then, Keiichi remembers
he left something he needs for a class at home on his
desk. Unknown to him, Peorth, Urd, and Skuld are listening
to him from behind the bushes nearby. When they hear
where Keiichi had left what he needed, they use their
magic to summon the item from home, and have it appear
on his lap. Unfortunately, their power brings not only
what he needs, but also everything else that was on
top of his desk, sending the entire lot crashing down
in a large pile next to him. Belldandy knows that this
is the work of Peorth and her sisters, and decides she
will personally send everything that Keiichi doesnt
need back home, and will catch up with him later that
day.
After
returning everything to its rightful place, Belldandy
rejoins Keiichi back at school. Hes in class,
but it seems hes having problems with the schools
printer. Once again, Peorth, Urd, and Skuld are lying
in wait. As soon as they hear of his woes, they all
use their magic to get the printer working again. Unfortunately,
it goes out of control, spilling paper out everywhere.
Only when Belldandy pulls the plug on the printer do
things return to normal.
Later
that day, Keiichi has finally printed his report, and
is seated on a bench next to Belldandy. As he breathes
a sigh of relief that things turned out okay, a young
woman happens to pass by, and a very convenient breeze
happens to blow her skirt up a little. This catches
our heros attention, though hes a bit ashamed
to admit it. The three helpful Goddesses
are once again lying in wait nearby, and as soon as
they see Keiichis reaction to the panty
shot, they use their power to summon a mighty
wind, causing all of the women nearby to put on their
own personal show for Keiichi. The poor
guy is so dumbstruck by his sudden luck that he doesnt
even realize that the strong wind blows his school report
right out of his hands. Belldandy tries to use her powers
to calm the wind, and bring his report back.
When
Urd and Skuld see this, they decide to secretly join
in, and use their own magic as well. Peorth tries to
warn them not to let their spells overlap with Belldandys
but its too late. The three powerful spells merging
all at once causes Belldandy to fall into unconsciousness,
and chaos to spread throughout the campus. Its
up to Peorth to summon her own spell to cancel out the
overlapping magic, and return everything to normal.
Her work done, and Keiichis project saved, Peorth
turns only to find Keiichi holding the weakened Belldandy
in his arms. Despite her best intentions, it seems that
Keiichis heart still belongs to her rival
That
night, while Urd and Skuld argue over whose fault todays
chaos was, Peorth is still trying to figure out why
Keiichi seems to not even notice her when she tries
her hardest to win his favor. As she steps outside the
room, she finds a note and a single flower lying on
the ground. Its from Keiichi, and thanks her for
her help today. The Goddess does not understand the
feelings she has seeing this, and is even more interested
in Keiichi than before.
