Chapter 10: "Fight naked!"

--------------- p.4

Belldandy: Every club is having a "Welcome Freshmen" event, it's like
	   a carnival.

Belldandy: What club are you in, Keiichi?

Haggling
Club:      Now, we'll go haggling at Akihabara!

Keiichi:   I can't say it out loud, but...

Aoyama:    It's the Auto club!!

--------------- p.5 

Tamiya:    Right, Morisato!!

Keiichi:   That's right, sir.

Belldandy: (Here they come again...)

Aoyama:    We thought we might attract freshmen with a race or something,
	   but with our financial situation, we can't even buy one machine.

Banner Collectors'
Alliance:  We'll go collecting banners off the streets!!

Keiichi:   I got it, you want some donations, right?
	   (I wouldn't have joined this club if I knew they were members...)

Keiichi:   (Let's see, is $20 enough?)

--------------- p.6

Aoyama:    Oh, what, $250!  Great stuff, Keiichi!

Student:   Oh, just the thing!

Keiichi:   That was for living on this month...

Keiichi:   (Oh, god... no way... 10 days' worth of my detailed plan, ruined...)
           (Monday: horse mackerel, boiled vegetables, and miso soup.)
           (Tuesday: gyouza, a bargain at 80c.)
           (Wednesday: eggs and leeks.  Pay for electricity and water...)

Aoyama:    Don't worry.

--------------- p.7

Aoyama:    I've got a nice part-time job for you.
	   You'll get $230 just for standing.

Aoyama:    (Go to the Art room.)

Keiichi:   (I see, she knew this would happen, so she didn't interfere.)

Belldandy: (I was completely taken by surprise.)

Keiichi:   Here it is.

Keiichi:   Hello, I'm Keiichi Morisato, I was referred to you by...

--------------- p.8

Keiichi:   (W-what...)

Keiichi:   (...a lucky job this is!)

Keiichi:   Oh, thank you, thank you.

--------------- p.9

Keiichi:   I'll do my best.

Keiichi:   What!?

Sayoko:    Hi!

Keiichi:   S-Sayoko Mishima.  (Hasn't she given up yet?)

Sayoko:    (I'm having a party at my house tomorrow.  Please come along, OK!)
Sayoko:    (Just you wait.  I'll tear your boyfriend from you and kick you
	   out of this university.)

Keiichi:   (Is she plotting something again?)

--------------- p.10

Keiichi:   (Or is it just coincidence?  Either way, something's gonna happen!!)

Sayoko:    This way, please.

Sayoko:    Ah, Belldandy, you...

Keiichi:   (Oh, no!!  If she's gonna try to kick her out, the Enforcer
	   will activate!)

Keiichi:   (Last time there was a blizzard,  this time....an earthquake?
	   Or a huge tidal wave?  Can Belldandy prevent it on her own?)

--------------- p.11

Sayoko:    ...wanna observe?  [? audit?]

Belldandy: <Oh, can I?>

Keiichi:   So...what do I have to do?

Sayoko:    Okay, take off your clothes first.

Keiichi:   W-what, what are you going to do to me?

Sayoko:    Don't be silly, who do you think I am!

Sayoko:    You have to model for a rough sketch.

Keiichi:   You mean... model nude?

Sayoko:    Of course!!

--------------- p.12

Keiichi:   I'm outa here!!  I'm not gonna do anything so embarassing!

Sayoko:    Oh, are you sure?  I thought you didn't have any money.

Keiichi:   Eh?  How do you know?

Sayoko:    Oh, dear.
	   (Yes, this is all my plot.  I was the one who told those
	   upperclassmen to take all your money, since they were trying to
	   get some money from you anyway.)

Sayoko:    (You can take all of Keiichi's money.)
	   I'll get a part-time job for him.

Aoyama:    Oh, that's a great idea!!

Sayoko:    (But the interesting part is still to come.)

Keiichi:   (Damn-!)

Sayoko:    So are you going to do it, or what?

--------------- p.13

Keiichi:   Alright!  I'm a man, and I'll do anything once I've started it!!

Keiichi:   You really want me to do this?

Sayoko:    I told you so.

Sayoko:    You're being a bad loser.

Sayoko:    Let's get those clothes off!

--------------- p.14

Keiichi:   (Well... this isn't too bad, after all.)

Women:     What was that?

--------------- p.15

Belldandy: (I did it in spite of myself.)

Sayoko:    Static, wasn't it?

Keiichi:   (She did it.)

Keiichi:   Okay, then I'll go strip in there.

Belldandy: I'm sorry for not controlling myself.

Keiichi:   You don't have to feel sorry about it.  I just wanna say thanks.

--------------- p.16

Keiichi:   It's good to see that you're just like any other girl, at least
	   partly.

Belldandy: Thank you.

Keiichi:   But I have to work out what I'm gonna do now.

Sayoko:    I wonder why he's taking so long.

Belldandy: In short, you want to be done without taking your clothes off,
	   right?

Keiichi:   That's right.

Belldandy: Then put this on.

--------------- p.17

Keiichi:   Like this?

Belldandy: That's fine.

Belldandy: Now, please be still.

Belldandy: Come together air elementals, represent the figure that I wish.

--------------- p.18

Keiichi:   Sorry I took so long.  (I hope like hell her magic worked.)

Sayoko:    You're late.  What were you doing?

Keiichi:   Here I go!

Girls:     Oh, my!

Keiichi:   (What?)

Sayoko:    (I can't believe it!  How did he find the guts to do that!)

--------------- p.19

Belldandy: I made lenses around you by changing the air density.
	   From their point of view, they see your naked body.

Keiichi:   What!  Then it's no different from actually being naked!!

Belldandy: Don't worry, I used that as a model.

Sayoko:    Morisato-kun!!  Can you at LEAST put on your underwear!
	   (We can't concentrate!)

Comment:   <- This is what they see.

Keiichi:   Well, but...

--------------- p.20

Sayoko:    (What's wrong with me?  I'm used to seeing [you guess.  ^_^])

Belldandy: (I can see that she favors him...)

Keiichi:   (I wonder if they really can see my underwear.)

Keiichi:   (I don't really think this is a solution...but, anyway.)

Keiichi:   (I didn't know she could be serious about some things.)

Sayoko:    Fu, (I feel something is missing.)

Sayoko:    Ah...(I almost forgot...)

Sayoko:    (why I started this.)  Belldandy,

Belldandy: Yes?

Sayoko:    Can you pose as a model, too?  If you can't, I can't pay you guys.

--------------- p.22

Sayoko:    (How's this?  What are you gonna do?  If you refuse, no cash...
	   I know you won't refuse anyway, you're that kind of person.)

Keiichi:   Don't worry about the money, really.

Belldandy: Okay, I understand.  I'll do it.

Belldandy: Just a second.

Keiichi:   H-hey, stop it.  Forget about the money!  Damn, my body's frozen.

--------------- p.23

Sayoko:    (Let's see how you handle this.  Get embarassed and I'll be
	   queen of this university again.)

Keiichi:   (I know she's really gonna do it... I'm so happy, no, no, I'm
	   worried.)

Keiichi:   Hey, I can't see.

--------------- p.25

Belldandy: How does this look to you?

--------------- p.26

Sayoko:    (T---this is... Art!!)

Sayoko:    (My hands, my body, they move against my will!
	   I can't help but draw!!)

Keiichi:   (We'll be in trouble if these pictures get exhibited and
	   attract attention!  I'm sure the sketches look impressive.
	   Belldandy's identity might be exposed.)

Narration: (However,)

Narration: (The next day, each picture became something totally
           unrelated....)

Girl1:	   (What?)  (Did I draw a bowl fruit?)

Girl2:	   Strange.

Girl3:	   Was my subject... 'crocodile with turtle'?

Narration: (The power of the Enforcer is truly great.)

Chapter 11: "Let's cover this world in flowers."

--------------- p.28

Megumi:    This is for dinner!

Keiichi:   Whaddaya mean, you've been coming over every day lately.

Megumi:    What's wrong with that?

Megumi:    I'm paying for it.  I like Belldandy's cooking.

Belldandy: That's kind of you to say so.

--------------- p.29

Keiichi:   (Don't talk as if you could care less!)

Megumi:    Wow, this is delicious.

Belldandy: Oh, that's "Kisu", dried sillaginoid, dressed with...

Keiichi:   (If she keeps coming over, nothing's gonna happen between
	   me and Belldandy!!)

Megumi:    Keiichi.

Keiichi:   (That was really a good chance, but...)

Megumi:    Hey, K-chan.

Keiichi:   (She wiped out my lust with the power.)

Megumi:    I'll have yours, okay?

--------------- p.30

Keiichi:   (Damn, I feel terrible just thinking about it.)  At least kiss...

Megumi:    Can I have this?

Megumi:    What's this about a kiss?

Keiichi:   Wah!
Keiichi:   Well, ah, you know, this Kisu with dressing is...

Keiichi:   What?  What, what?

--------------- p.31

Keiichi:   Argh, they're all gone?

Megumi:    I kept asking you if I could have some.

Belldandy: I'll fix up something.

Megumi:    Say, Keiichi.

Megumi:    Have you kissed Belldandy?

Keiichi:   EH?

--------------- p.32

Keiichi:   O-of course.

Megumi:    Is that so.

Megumi:    Where did you kiss?

Keiichi:   (Good question.)

Keiichi:   Hey, it's none of your business.

Megumi:    I see.

Megumi:    (You're such a terrible liar.  Oh well, that's one of your good
	   points.)
	   Okay, I'll go now.

--------------- p.33

Megumi:    Oh...and yeah, tomorrow'll be sunny, I think.
	   So you might want to go to a park by the sea.

Keiichi:   So what?

Keiichi:   (A park by the sea....)

Megumi:    It was delicious, thank you.

Belldandy: Oh?  You're going so soon?

--------------- p.34

Megumi:    Oh, btw, I'm pretty sure that Keiichi wants to go out tomorrow,
	   so you should make something you can take out for lunch.

Belldandy: Okay.

Narration: (And that night.)

Narration: (The night drags on with everyone's thoughts, hopes and dreams.)

(Book title: How to Score with Your Steady [girlfriend])

Keiichi:   Never be hasty, be sure to check your girlfriend's reaction and...

--------------- p.35

Keiichi:   We're here.

Belldandy: Wow, I can smell the sea.

Keiichi:   (I should've brought her here before if I knew she'd like
	   it so much.)

--------------- p.36

Keiichi:   (Now...)

(How to Score with Your Steady Girlfriend:
  Rules: Never be hasty.  First, make contact with her hand or shoulder.
  Do it casually, but carefully.  Also, don't make any sudden moves.) 

Belldandy: Keiichi!

--------------- p.37

Belldandy: Would you like some ice cream?

Keiichi:   S-sure. (Argh, why did I pull my hand back?  I'm such a fool!)

Vendor:    Here goes, they're $2.50.

Keiichi:   (Why did you have to be here, dickhead!)

Belldandy: Keiichi,

Keiichi:   Eh?

Belldandy: Can I pay for that?

Belldandy: I was paid the half the money for the modelling job, remember?

Belldandy: I already decided what I'll do with the money.

--------------- p.38

Belldandy: First, I'd buy two ice creams.   However, I still have a lot
	   of money left.

Keiichi:   Would you let me take you rollerskating in return?

Keiichi:   (Look at me!  I can behave so naturally.)

Keiichi:   (I can go on to the next step if I keep this up!!)

Keiichi:   (It's proof that I was still naive, thinking like that.)

Keiichi:   Hey!  What're you doing trying to pick up my gf!!
	   I'm on a date with her right now!!  (Damn, if these things were
	   a pair of skis!)

Belldandy: (W-watch out..)

--------------- p.39

Keiichi:   (Damn, being able to ski doesn't mean that I can rollerskate..)

Belldandy: Keiichi.

Belldandy: Do you want ride on that?

Keiichi:   What?  T-that?

Narration: (On weekday afternoons, there aren't many people aboard...)

-------------- p.40

Narration: (and on top of that, everyone goes to the top floor, leaving
	   the floor underneath empty.)

Keiichi:   (Maybe there won't be any better chance than this.
	   But I have to act quick.)

Keiichi:   Say,

Keiichi:   (I can do it!  This time, I can!!)

--------------- p.41

Belldandy: Wow.

Keiichi:   Why the hell did this happen.

Keiichi:   (Oh, no, too late.  I'm starting to get seasick already!)

Seagull:   Kura!

Keiichi:   (I should've avoided ships, I should've...)

Belldandy: Keiichi, look, look.

--------------- p.42

Belldandy: Keiichi-san!!

Keiichi:   Sorry about this.

Belldandy: I'm sorry for not noticing sooner...

Belldandy: Relax your body.

--------------- p.43

Keiichi:   (What a lovely singing voice...)

Keiichi:   (Her knees are comfy, too...)

Keiichi:   What?  It's dark.

Keiichi:   Oh, no!

Belldandy: You look fine now.

--------------- p.44

Keiichi:   It's 8:30pm already!

Belldandy: Yes...you slept very well.

Keiichi:   I had a reservation at a restaurant.

Keiichi:   I'm hungry now.

Belldandy: Here.  I made this before leaving today.

Belldandy: How do you like it?  I made it in haste, so...

Keiichi:   Yeah, it's great.

--------------- p.45

Keiichi:   (It's a pretty good idea to eat out by the port at night.)

Keiichi:   (At least I learnt something today...)

Keiichi:   (It's stuck!)

Keiichi:   (Shit!)

Belldandy: Are you alright?

Keiichi:   (Wah!)

--------------- p.46

Belldandy: (Stop!)

--------------- p.47

Belldandy: Thank goodness.

Keiichi:   I'm sorry.

--------------- p.48

Keiichi:   (Where did these flowers come from?)

==============================================================================
End- Chapter 11



Chapter 12:  "Ride fast! This love..."

--------------- p.50

Tamiya:    Now listen good, freshmen!

Tamiya:    It's taken quite a while, but at long last we're gonna race the
	   Ushikubo University motorcycle club -- just to welcome you guys.

Keiichi:   (Finally, we're riding.)

Tamiya:    And you're going to ride that!

--------------- p.51

Keiichi:   C...

Keiichi:   Cub?

Belldandy: Isn't it cute!

Tamiya:    Cretins!  The Cub is the fundamental bike!!  With its air-cooled
	   four-stroke engine and 49cc frame, it's a classic.
	   From postal delivery to soba restaurant delivery, its versatility
	   is unequaled.  Produced by Honda and used all over the world,
	   it's the foremost bike of its time.

Tamiya:    From this year on, we decided to use Cubs with Ushikubo U.
	   (Rejoice!)  Also...

--------------- p.52

Tamiya:    This time, Belldandy'll be the mascot girl of our club.

Keiichi:   W-what!

Belldandy: What's a mascot girl about?

--------------- p.53

Keiichi:   How could you decide that without asking...!

Tamiya:    Er, well, the situation required it so...

Etsushi:   President Tamiya, it seems that opinions in the club remain
	   divided.

Etsushi:   Nevertheless, a promise is a promise.

Belldandy: Who is he?

Tamiya:    Etsushi, of the Ushikubo U. motorcycle club.

--------------- p.54

Tamiya:    Etsushi Ohtaki, also known as Etsu the Snapping turtle.
	   He wants anything others have, and won't give up until he gets it.
	   That's how he got the president's seat doing just that.

Etsushi:   I see, she's the one, eh?

Etsushi:   The one who'll become our team girl if we win the upcoming
	   competition.

Keiichi:   What!

Keiichi:   Mr. Tamiya!

Tamiya:    That's right, Keiichi.  3 days ago, Etsushi took me to have a drink.

--------------- p.55

Tamiya:    We argued which engine was better, parallel-shaped or V-shaped,
	   and...

Tamiya:    Stupid, inline 4 is beautiful!

Etsushi:   Huh!!  V-shape is more adavanced.

Etsushi:   Okay, the why don't we decide which is better in the annual
	   racing competition, with Belldandy as the prize??

Tamiya:    Ah..alright.

Keiichi:   Mr. Tamiya!!  This is an utter set-up!!  (What a moron!)

Tamiya:    I suppose you're right.

Etsushi:   What, fighting among friends already?

Keiichi:   (Who the hell does he think he is?)

Etsushi:   Don't worry, it's already decided that we'll win.
	   I can see that from what kind of members you have.

Etsushi:   A short guy, a skinny one, and a sumo wrestler.
	   I feel really sorry for you.

Keiichi:   <Oh, so sorry I'm short!!>

--------------- p.56

Belldandy: There's no need for you to come down here and pressure us.
	   You there.

Etsushi:   What?

Belldandy: We'll win this race.  Please go home.

Comment:   (By inserting subliminal curses, she can influence peoples'
	   will, to some extent.)

Etsushi:   Huh, I hope you're gonna practice, so that the competition won't
	   be completely boring.
   	   (I-I'd better go home...)

Keiichi:   (Ah, doing 'a walk'...)

--------------- p.57

Keiichi:   Are you sure about this?  Saying something like that?

Belldandy: Yes, I'm sure.

Belldandy: Fortune doesn't smile upon people with such disdainful attitudes.

Belldandy: When a lucky star comes your way,  regardless of whether you can
	   get hold of it or not, it isn't accidental.

Belldandy: It  happens according to a necessity which results from the
	   accumulation of phenomena.

Belldandy: That's right!  I won't allow a person like that to win!

Keiichi:   (She's dreadful when she's angry...I didn't know.)

Keiichi:   I'm not sure if there is any necessity in me that brings luck,
	   but I'll do my best to win.

--------------- p.58

Keiichi:   I don't want you to feel bad over something like this.

Belldandy: Thank you for your concern!

Keiichi:   H-hey.

Keiichi:   Hello...

Belldandy: zz..

Keiichi:   (H-hey, don't just fall asleep here...)

Narration: (Belldandy fell asleep when her power usage accumulated...)

--------------- p.59

Narration: (The day of the race.)

Tamiya:    Listen up,

Tamiya:    First, you'll draw lots, and then you'll go to the attendant desk
	   with the same color as your lot.

Keiichi:   How come we're drawing lots?  We didn't do this last year.

Tamiya:    Shut up and just draw.

Man:       Ah, pink.

--------------- p.60

Keiichi:   Here, it's red.

Tamiya:    Keiichi's is red!

Keiichi:   What?  Is it a good thing?

Keiichi:   What's that about?

Belldandy: I don't know.

Narration: (The color represents which class you're entering in the race.)
	   (Pink means no tune-up stock class (50 & 90), and yellow means the
	   semi-custom class (no change in the amount of exhaust).
	   Blue means the custom class (changes in the amount of exhaust
	   permitted),  and Red is a funny class, you can modify it in
	   any way if and only if you use the Cub frame somewhere.)
	   (No turbo or nitro, though.)

Man:	   Keiichi, the funny class...

--------------- p.61

Keiichi:   ('can modify it in any way'?  Then they're gonna make some
	   crazy beast, for sure!)
	   (Damn, is an unlucky star shining on me right now?)
	   (They're gonna put a 250cc engine on the Cub or something...)

Narration: (Yes... he was right.)
	   (There's an unlucky star shining on him, no doubt about it.)
	   (And it took a while to have any effect on Keiichi, but it
	   happened eventually.)

--------------- p.62

Narration: (The course is a runway, formerly used by the Japanese military.)
           (Two machines at a time run on a 400m course and compete within
	   the running time.)
	   (The winner's side gets 1 point, and at the end, the team with
	   the most points wins.)

Belldandy: Go, Mr. Tamiya!

Keiichi:   I wonder what my machine will be!?

Aoyama:    Hey, Keiichi, your turn.

Tamiya:    Goddamn it, I'm too heavy!

Keiichi:   Alright.

--------------- p.63

Keiichi:   W-what is this!  Where are you using the Cub's frame?

Narration: (In the funny class, one machine from each team conpetes.)

Aoyama:    Like these here.

Keiichi:   Oh, no--the brake and tires are from the Cub!!

Aoyama:    Don't worry, you only need to use the brake at the end.

Keiichi:   That's why I don't like it!

Aoyama:    Don't worry, I built in a dragchute!!

Keiichi:   (I hope this ain't gonna fall to pieces...)

Narration: (The scores stand at 24 for Ushikubo U., and 21 for NIT.)

--------------- p.64

Narration: (The funny class is a 5-point race.  Today's winner will be
	   decided with this race.)

Etsushi:   (Heh, they're using the GSX's power unit, and they don't even
	   know it's obsolete.)

Etsushi:   (I have the latest VFR power unit.)

Belldandy: Do your best!

Etsushi:   (After all, you guys' inline-4 can't beat my V4.)

Aoyama:    READY...

--------------- p.65

Belldandy: Ha!

FX:	   <brrooooaaaaammm...>

Belldandy: (No way, the unlucky star is coming.)

--------------- p.66

Keiichi:   (Damn, the clutch slipped!!)

Keiichi:   (But this is a 1000m race.  I'm still not far behind!!
	   I can make it!)

Etsushi:   (Well now, you're doing pretty well.)

--------------- p.67

Etsushi:   But, I spent a lot of money on this one!

Etsushi:   (This is a very light-weight machine using not only an
	   aluminium frame and big Cub, but also a lot of titanium carbon.)

Etsushi:   (Belldandy's mine now!)

Keiichi:   Damn, he's getting way ahead!  Isn't there any lucky star for me!

Belldandy: The lucky star!  Come hither upon Keiichi Morisato, whom I
	   protect, NOW!

--------------- p.68

Belldandy: The lucky star!!  Grant him strength, opportunity and good fortune!!

Narration: (At that instant, the lucky star -- which has a different orbit
	   to its counterpart -- shone upon Keiichi, eclipsing the
	   unlucky star.)

Narration: (The engine of Keiichi's bike re-tuned itself by its own vibration,
	   as if by the hands of God himself.)

Keiichi:   Wow, what's this - it's going again!

--------------- p.69

Keiichi:   Go!

Tamiya:    Hey...don't you think it's going too fast?

Aoyama:    You got it... according to my design, it's built in such a way
	   that it can only withstand the maximum estimated speed...

Aoyama:    But, apparently... it's going over the designed limit.

Aoyama:    I hope lasts until it reaches the goal line.

--------------- p.70

Etsushi:   What!

Belldandy: Goal!

Narration: (However, because the lucky star's orbital speed is faster than
	   that of its counterpart, and because the lucky star is closer to
	   the Earth, the unlucky star emerged from the shade of the lucky
	   star.)

Keiichi:   (Okay, now all I have to do is stop.)

--------------- p.71

Keiichi:   Douh!  The brake blew up! 

Keiichi:   (No, don't panic.  I still have the dragchute.)

Keiichi:   Hahahahaha.

Aoyama:    Wahaha, what do you think of my joke?

Tamiya:    Yeah, real funny.

Belldandy: Eh? Huh?

Keiichi:   Argh, the calipers!  The funnel!  Yeek, the step!  Waa, the
	   oil's spurting everywhere!

--------------- p.72

Keiichi:   Wah---!

Keiichi:   Heh heh heh, I won. (I don't care about the Stars.)

Belldandy: Keiichi!

Keiichi:   (Because....)

Keiichi:   (I have a goddess on my side.)  Wow!

END- Chapter 12


Chapter 13: "The Enforcer's gone."

--------------- p.74

Narration: (Katagai Beach.  From today, the auto club's 4-day training
	   session begins here.)

Belldandy: We got here faster than we realised.

Narration: (Summer, when the ocean turns into a wonderful place, when
	   anything can happen between lovers.) 

--------------- p.75

Sayoko:    Yaho!  Keiichi!

Keiichi:   (Hm, that voice is...)

Sayoko:    I'll be seeing you for the next four days, starting today.

Keiichi:   My god, Sayoko!

Keiichi:   Mr. Tamiya!  We're not going to do this jointly with the Art club,
	   are we!?

Tamiya:    Oh, yeah, they said they wanted the auto club as their subject
	   matter, so...  Besides, the more girls, the better I like it.

Sayoko:    Don't be so mean...

--------------- p.76

Sayoko:    We want to capture the glistening sweat of Summer, okay?

Belldandy: (Oh, no, the Enforcer'll activate!!)

Belldandy: (If I don't create the force field, Keiichi'll be...!?)

Keiichi:   It's coming!

Belldandy: W-what?

Sayoko:    Eh?  Something's flying toward us?

Keiichi:   Well, eh, no...

--------------- p.77

Belldandy: (The Enforcer is...)

Sayoko:    Let's go.

Belldandy: (..not working?)

Voice:     Good afternoon.

Sayoko:    What is this place?  It's just a normal house.

Keiichi:   (What do you expect, this is a guesthouse, you know.)

Belldandy: I have to make a call.

Keiichi:   Oh... me too.

--------------- p.78

Belldandy: Ah...hello?  Sis?

Keiichi:   (I wonder where the hell she's calling)

Urd:	   Oh, it's you, Belldandy.

Urd:	   Yes?  The Enforcer isn't working?

Urd:	   I'm sorry, we got an error in a part of the system.
	   Yes, I'm not sure when it'll be back up.

Belldandy: It's no problem, since the Enforcer is just a supporting system...
	   I see, bye.

--------------- p.79

Urd:	   Uheheh.

Keiichi:   Don't you have to go back now that the Enforcer is gone?

Belldandy: No, not at all.  The Enforcer itself is just a supporting system,
	   therefore it does not affect me.

Belldandy: Unless you think you don't need me anymore.

--------------- p.80

Belldandy: However...

Sayoko:    Keiichi, are you done with the telephone?

Sayoko:    Today's free time, right?  Let's go swim!

Keiichi:   H-hey!

Keiichi:   Belldandy, you, too.  Let's go!

Belldandy: (As I thought, because it's been suppressed before, a reaction
	   is taking place.)

Belldandy: (I wonder if I can suppress it with my power.)

Keiichi:   I-I don't!!

Sayoko:    Don't worry, Belldandy'll soon be here.

--------------- p.81

Sayoko:    (Heehee, look at them, everyone's staring at me.)

Sayoko:    (Keiichi, he can't even look at me directly.)

Keiichi:   (Belldandy, come soon.)

Sayoko:    (In Belldandy's luggage, there were no swimsuits!)

Sayoko:    (This time, I'll win!)
           <Ho--hohoho!>
	   <There'll be no contest once we get in the water.>

Sayoko:    (Heavens!)

--------------- p.82

Sayoko:    No way, she wrapped a cloth around her!?

Belldandy: Keiichi!

Men:       Cute!  Hey, does anyone speak Russian?

Belldandy: E-excuse me.

--------------- p.83

Belldandy: K... Keiichi!

Keiichi:   Yeah, I'm here.

Men:	   <I hear the voice, but I can't see the body...>
	   <What...where is he?>

Belldandy: Keiichi!

Keiichi:   Haha, you finally turned up.

Belldandy: I-I'm sorry, I wasn't careful....

Men:	   Graagh, fuck that jerk!

--------------- p.84

Keiichi:   (A-ah....the touch of her breast feels so incredible...
	   ...as if I'm being healed.)
	   Don't cry so much.  I'll be OK soon.)

Sayoko:    Alright, that's enough!  There's something wrong with you
	   stepping on your boyfriend and not noticing it!!
	   You're not qualified to call yourself his girlfriend!!

--------------- p.85

Belldandy: I'm sorry!

Keiichi:   Wah!

Sayoko:    (Maybe I was little harsh....)

Men:	   Wait, babe!

Sayoko:    (...but I must use this chance effectively.)
	   Hmm, where are you Keiichi?

Keiichi:   I'm here.

Sayoko:    Yeeek!

Narration: (That night in the guesthouse.)

--------------- p.86

Keiichi:   Gosh, I had a hard time today.

Keiichi:   (Belldandy was crying.)

Keiichi:   (She wasn't there at dinner.)
	   (I'd better clear up this misunderstanding with her.)

Aoyama:    Oh, Morisato, you going somewhere?

Keiichi:   Well...just to visit Belldandy's room...

Aoyama:    What!?

Aoyama:    Morisato, you haven't read the guide book for the training session!!

Keiichi:   Huh?

--------------- p.87

Aoyama:    Look here, rule 3 of "Promise":
	   "No visiting females' rooms after 10pm."

Keiichi:   Ah, that's right.

Keiichi:   Mr. Aoyama, can't you turn a blind eye, just this once?

Aoyama:    Morisatooo!  I stayed up 3 nights to make this!  I scheduled
	   this whole thing, illustrated it and even drew manga for it!!

Keiichi:   Mr. Tamiya, let me go!!

Aoyama:    Morisatooo!

Voice:     Hey, what're you guys doing?  Looks fun!

--------------- p.88

Tamiya:    From now, we'll go on a 50km buggy tour!!  It's just a 100km
	   roundtrip, but it's a sandy place, so be careful!

Keiichi:   (Damn, I couldn't see her after all.  I must see her today.
	   It's 10am right now, so we can be back by 3pm.)

Keiichi:   (I suppose I could talk to her after I come back.)

Tamiya:    Let's go!

--------------- p.89

Keiichi:   Mr. Tamiya!

Keiichi:   Are you sure this is the right way?

Tamiya:    Yes!  That's right!

Keiichi:   Are you sure this is right?

Tamiya:    Trust me!

Keiichi:   Are you sure?

Tamiya:    I'm not really sure....

--------------- p.90

Tamiya:    You did well today!!

Men:	   <I'm exhausted...>  <It's 10pm already.>

Tamiya:    There were some accidents, but I'm glad everyone made it safely.

Keiichi:   (What's this 'accidents'?  You mean, 'disasters caused by
	   human neglect'....)

Tamiya:    I'm sure everyone will do as well tomorrow!

Keiichi:   What?

Keiichi:   (Then only time I'd be able to see Belldandy would be at
	   dinnertime!!  No kidding, she's really gonna go home if things
	   keep on like this!!)

Belldandy: Goodbye.

--------------- p.91

Keiichi:   Hey, Belldan...

Belldandy: Ye...

Tamiya:    Can I have another bowl of rice!

Aoyama:    Hey, another bowl of rice, please!

Sayoko:    Heheh.

Keiichi:   Ah.

Tamiya:    He-y!

Aoyama:    One more bowl, please!

Belldandy: Yes, yes, yes.

A+T:       Now, let's go back to our room and drink!!

Belldandy: Ah-

Keiichi:   No--!

  (The next day)

Keiichi:   Mr. Tamiya!!

Tamiya:    Don't worry, just follow me!

Keiichi:   But there are cows!!

  (The third day)

Keiichi:   Mr. Tamiya!

Tamiya:    Shut up and just follow me!!

  (And the last day)

Keiichi:   Mr. Tamiya, it's 2am already!!

--------------- p.92

Sayoko:    (I'll ask him to walk with me after he comes back.)

Sayoko:    Hm?

Sayoko:    (Belldandy...what's she doing there?)

Belldandy: (Pure white paper, here reflect my heart.  Appear only
	   before his eyes.)

Sayoko:    I wonder what she was doing?

--------------- p.93

Sayoko:    What, left a note for Keriichi?  It's blank.

Sayoko:    Let's see, what shall I do with this...

Sayoko:    Morisato-kun, let's take a walk!

Keiichi:   In the middle of night?

Keiichi:   I see, taking a walk with girls wasn't forbidden!!

Sayoko:    Heehee.

Keiichi:   W-what is it?

Sayoko:    I was thinking of hiding this, but here, it's for you.

--------------- p.94

Sayoko:    (After all, there is nothing written on it.)

Keiichi:   T-this is...

(Note: I will be waiting for you at the west of the boat place till dawn.)

Sayoko:    I wonder what she was going to do with a blank paper...  Huh?

Keiichi:   He-y!

Sayoko:    I wonder where he could go after seeing something like that.

--------------- p.95

Keiichi:   Wow!

Belldandy: I'm glad.  You don't mind me being with you?

--------------- p.96

Keiichi:   What're you talking about?  I never said I did.

Keiichi:   Please be with me for ever.

Keiichi:   Now that I think about it, we haven't swum, yet.  Wanna swim?

Sayoko:    If you soak those wounds of yours in salt water, it's no wonder
	   they get swollen.  You dummy.

Belldandy: <I'm sorry.>
