  Volume 20 Chapter 121 - The Director's Curse  
 


After her brief leave, Belldandy returns moments later dressed in her racing gear, and sits down upon the go-kart. She then suggests that Sora sit down on the kart with her, although there is not much room, and the nervous student has to squeeze herself into the small space on the kart in-between the Goddess' legs. After Belldandy and Sora drive off, Chihiro leaves to go back to the Whirlwind shop, stating that she's not needed here any longer. Now that Belldandy is helping Sora gain her confidence, she believes there is no question that Hasegawa will be successful.

As Belldandy and Sora speed their way down the racing track, the young student is quickly beginning to lose her nerve and grow frightened, even with Belldandy right behind her. The Goddess senses this, and decides to divert Sora's attention, making her notice a beautiful skylark flying overhead. As they drive together, Belldandy points out other form of natural wildlife all around them (an owl, a raccoon family). Sora grows increasingly excited, as she has never had a chance to view such animals up close. This takes her mind off of her fear of the go-kart, and lifts her spirits.

When the two have stopped the vehicle, Belldandy suggests that Sora not concentrate on her fear, but on the beauty that is all around her as she drives, and to feel the wind. Most of all, the deity suggests that she must "talk to her go-kart", creating a better and more confident relationship between driver and machine. When it is time to head back to the others waiting for them, Belldandy's words have given Sora the courage to try riding the go-kart by herself. As Sora drives down the track alone, she keeps the Goddess' words fresh in her mind, and is even starting to enjoy herself as she drives.

When Sora returns to the small group of Auto Club members waiting for her to return, they are overjoyed to see her driving on her own without Belldandy. This means she is now confident enough to race against Keiichi, and she actually has a chance of beating him, so she doesn't have to become the Director of the Club. As the Club members cheer, Belldandy makes a sudden return, and is happy to see Sora more confident in her abilities. It is then that she asks why the young student does not want to be the Director of the Auto Club in the first place. Sora's expression instantly turns grave at the question. She is forced to admit that she has another nickname besides "Hasegawa: The Chef Assassin". (See Chapter 49: The Lunchbox of Love) She also goes by the nickname of "Director Sora: Angel of Death".

Sora goes on to explain that all through her academic life, she has been put in charge of various clubs and school groups. Each and every time, her leadership skills led to the destruction and ultimate disbanding of each club. Homeroom Director (3rd Grade), Ping Pong Club (6th Grade), Art Club Director (Middle School), music (high school) - each and every organization has met with failure. She fears that if she is put in charge of the Auto Club, it will meet the same fate as all the others. Sora is no longer able to hold back her sadness, and Belldandy comforts her, holding her close as the Chapter comes to an end.
