Everyones
favorite muscle-bound dolt, Tamiya, has decided to pay
a personal visit to Keiichi to deliver a message to
him from the Council of Elders of the Nekomi
Tech Auto Club. He calls out to Keiichi from outside
the front door, but there is no reply. When Tamiya opens
the door to see if anyones home, he is greeted
by a very cheerful Peorth, who comes flying toward him,
welcoming him home. (She has mistaken him for Keiichi
returning home.) Imagine her shock when she looks up,
and finds not Keiichi, but the intimidating and lumbering
Tamiya. Peorth runs away in fear at the sight of the
giant man, but poor Tamiya is frozen stiff. He has been
stricken with the Goddess beauty, and it is love
at first sight for him.
Urd
steps out of the room, curious as to whats going
on out in the hall. When she comes across the spaced-out
and frozen Tamiya, Urd is not sure what to think. She
tries to snap him out of it by showing a bit of skin
his way, but even her sensual come-ons arent enough
to bring the man back to reality. At that very moment,
Keiichi, Belldandy, and Skuld return home. They are
naturally surprised by the sight of Urd flashing a bit
of skin at Tamiya, and begin to suspect shes responsible
for his current frozen state. Just as suddenly as it
came over him, Tamiya snaps out of his trance, and immediately
grabs a hold of Keiichi, leading him off to speak in
private.
Outside
the house, Tamiya has a private conference with Keiichi,
although Belldandy and Urd are standing nearby, watching.
Tamiya needs to know who the beautiful woman he met
in the hallway is. Keiichi is not sure who he means
at first, but eventually figures out he is talking about
Peorth. Tamiya is instantly stricken with love, and
with hearts in his eyes, declares his undying passion
for her. Belldandy is watching this from nearby, and
hearing his declaration of love, assumes that it is
directed toward Urd, because of the scene they witnessed
in the hallway when they came home just a few moments
ago. At that very same moment, Peorth is watching this
scene in secret, and sees Tamiya and Keiichi huddled
so close together and whispering. She assumes this means
that the two are in love, and perhaps this is why Keiichi
rejects her. She makes it her mission to separate the
two once and for all. It seems that this simple misunderstanding
is going to cause a massive headache for all involved
That
night, Tamiya sits with Otaki, and as they share dinner,
they talk of Tamiyas newfound love. A wild karaoke
party begins to celebrate his inevitable victory at
winning Peorths heart. As they party,Tamiya remembers
that he forgot to give Keiichi the message that was
the reason for his visit in the first place. He was
supposed to warn him of something about the Auto Club
junkyard, but decides the message can wait until tomorrow
The
next day, Tamiya arrives at the Nekomi Tech campus,
only to find the lovely Peorth waiting for him. The
lovesick fool is obviously ecstatic to see her, and
becomes even more excited when she asks if he could
show her around the campus. Tamiya is only too eager
to offer his assistance, unaware that Peorth is merely
setting up her scheme to separate Tamiya and Keiichi,
and end their love.
At
that same moment, Keiichi and Belldandy are walking
together on another part of the campus. Keiichi is still
trying to figure out what Tamiya sees in Peorth. Belldandy
is obviously surprised to hear this, as she assumed
his love was directed toward her older sister. Just
then, a large group of students come running by. They
seem to be in a panic, and are screaming something about
Tamiya. Curious, the two follow the mob, only to discover
that it leads them to Tamiya giving a guided tour of
the campus to Peorth. It seems the entire student body
is quite shocked that a lumbering, dimwitted muscle
head like Tamiya could pick up a girl like Peorth. Keiichi
and Belldandy are quite surprised as well. Peorth sees
Keiichi watching from the crowd, and decides to make
her first move in separating Tamiya and him. She lovingly
takes Tamiya by the arm. This causes the poor man to
go into instant love shock once again, and the entire
student body to walk off, rejected, and cursing their
luck.
The
day goes on, and the tour continues. By now, Peorth
has Tamiya completely wrapped around her finger, and
his mind is swimming with thoughts of love. As they
walk, Peorth suddenly hears Belldandy calling for her
telepathically. She tells Tamiya she needs to step away
for a moment, and runs off to meet with Belldandy, who
is waiting for her on the roof of a nearby building.
When Peorth arrives, she demands to know why shes
called for her. Belldandy pleads that Peorth stop what
shes doing, as shes only leading Tamiya
on, and this will only end in pain for him. Peorth accuses
Belldandy of being weak, since she has done nothing
to separate the love between the two men,
and its up to her to break them apart. Belldandy
obviously has no idea what shes talking about,
but Peorth wont listen. Before she leaves, Peorth
mentions something about a moment from long ago, and
that she has still not forgiven Belldandy for it. The
gentle Goddess does not understand what she means, but
Peorth disappears, leaving behind a confused Belldandy,
wondering what she meant by that moment
A
little while later, Tamiya is in the Auto Club junkyard,
looking for Peorth. He comes across her speaking to
Keiichi, who ran across her while he was searching for
her, as well. Keiichi finds Peorth standing on top of
a large pile of broken vehicles and parts. As the two
talk, the mountain of junk begins to grow weak, causing
Peorth to fall and land directly in Keiichis arms.
Theyre not safe yet, however, as the giant pile
of auto parts is starting to tumble and fall down toward
them. Keiichi runs about, trying to dodge the debris,
but it seems like his luck is about to run out when
a small motorcycle comes tumbling down toward him. All
of a sudden, Tamiya leaps to the rescue, covering both
Keiichi and Peorth, and catching the small bike on the
back of his large arms that he holds over his head.
Tamiya asks if Peorth is allright, and although he forces
out a large smile, he is crying on the inside. He knows
that Peorths heart is with Keiichi, and not with
him. Before the tears can come, the large man runs off.
The confused Peorth can only watch him leave, wondering
how she mistook his love for being aimed at Keiichi.
She
is not the only Goddess confused, however. Poor Belldandy
still stands alone, wondering what Peorth meant by that
moment that scarred their friendship forever
