Keiichi: Yes? Tamiya-semapi? Keiichi: Sempai went out.. Keiichi: Yes, I think he should be back around 6PM or so... Keiichi: Okay got it, Yoshida-san right? I'll relay it to him. Keiichi: Sheez.. they make me their answering machine.. [growl... (stomach)] Keiichi: Come to think.. it's not lunch time yet.. Keiichi: Damn.. since I'm taking their messages, they could have left me some food.. Keiichi: No choice.. I'll have to order something. Hmmm.. I think I'll order shao-hi yakisoba and gyoza. **note you could totally westernize this and say: "Country fried noodles, and fried won tons"**** [Ring Ring..] (Storekeeper): Yes, Tarafuku.. Keiichi: Oh, I wanted to place a delivery order.. (Storekeeper): I'm sorry, we don't delivery till 5. Keiichi: Oh.. I see. Keiichi: Hmph.. then it'll be Fukushi's ramen set I guess.. (Answering Machine): I'm sorry we are not open for business right now. Keiichi: This place is closed too. Dammit!! [He dials another place w/ no answer] Keiichi: Shit.. next number... [dials the next number] Keiichi: Com'n.. please answer.. Keiichi: Uh, hello? Beldandi: This is the Relief Goddess Office Keiichi: I'm sorry wrong.. Beldandi: I will come over for your request. Keiichi: Eh.. hello? Hello? Hello?? Beldandi: Hello. Good afternoon. Keiichi: Aaahhhh!!! (Scream) Beldandi: Please don't be frightened, Keiichi Morisato-san. Keiichi: Huh? Beldandi: I should have introduced myself before. My name is Bellandi the Goddess. Keiichi: The Goddess? Beldandi: Yes. Keiichi: That can't be.. Beldandi: Our job is to help distressed (troubled) people like you. Keiichi: But.. I was just hungry and wanted to order food.. Beldandi: Order food? Then is that what you want? I can make any *1* wish of yours come true. Keiichi: Grant one wish? You really mean anything? Like this.. or this, or even THIS!!! Keiichi: (Sigh..) There's no way there could be such a thing.. There can't really be a Goddess like that.. Keiichi: Even her coming out of a mirror must be some kind of trick.. There must be some device on the other side of that mirror.. Keiichi: That's it... Sempai and all them are trying to make a fool out of me.. They know I can't get a girl, so they're playing with me! Beldandi: Hmm.. why is it that you do not have a girlfriend. Keiichi: Uhh.. try standing up.. Keiichi: You see, I'm a bit short. Beldandi: Why is it that you cannot get a girlfriend just because of that? I mean.. Is height really that important? Keiichi: I wonder if she's serious.. But if so.. it'd be great.. Okay, I got it!! My wish is.. Beldandi: You've decided? Keiichi: I want (someone like) you to stay with me forever!!!! Uhh.. I wonder if that's no good after all... [Big Special Effects splash of lights and stuff..] Keiichi: What the hell?? [Effects end] Beldandi: Your wish has been granted. Keiichi: WHAT?!? Granted? Beldandi: Yes, with that our contract has started. So I can stay with... Keiichi: Stay with ME?? But this is a men's dorm. Beldandi: That's okay because in our contract, an "enforcing power" will be working. Keiichi: Enforcing power? Beldandi: With it, we can never be seperated. Keiichi: Hmm.. but still, female students are forbidden here.. If I break the dorm rules, I'll be kicked out. Beldandi: Oh.. I see. But the enforcing power is already in effect. Keiichi: Just what do you mean by that.. [Sempai and his boys come barging in in shock] Sempai: Hey Morisato, did you take my messages? Keiichi: Aaah.. umm.. this is... Sempai: Morisato-kun, regulation 36. What does this dorm regulation state? Keiichi: What does it state... Semapi: It states... [All]: Expulsion!!!!!! [Whistle Blows] Sempai: When you find your new place, we'll send you your stuff. Keiichi: I can't believe it.... Beldandi: This is what I meant by the enforcing power.. it starts working if it seems like we will be seperated. I guess it caused some problems.. Keiichi: If I'm with a cute gal like you, it's okay! Keiichi: But anyhow, we need to find a place to stay.. we can't do anything like this. Keiichi: Hey.. can you do something about those clothes? Maybe it's a bit too flashy.. Beldandi: You think so? Maybe you're right. Well then.. Beldandi: How's this? Keiichi: It's cute.. (that's not what I mean.. how do I?..) Umm.. yeah, that'll be fine. Let's go. ------------------- [After they go apartment hunting] Keiichi: Here. Careful it's hot. Beldandi: Oh, thank you. Keiichi: Say.. how come you came to me? There must be a lot of others who would like wishes.. Beldandi: Yes, but they need a special qualifications and need to be investigated first. It's not just for anyone. Keiichi: So you mean I met the qualifications? Beldandi: Yes, and can only make these contracts with those special people. Keiichi: Then you'll stay with me forever?? But can the contract be cancelled to force you to return? Beldandi: I don't konw.. but as long as you need me, it will be okay. Keiichi: I see. But what should we do? We don't have anywhere to go.. Beldandi: Let's go south. Keiichi: Huh? Is there something south? Beldandi: What we are searching for ought to be there. Let's go. Keiichi: Yeah. ---------------------------- Beldandi: Turn right there, and take a left at the next corner. Keiichi: Okay. Beldandi: 50 meters head to the right you'll see a Cigarrette shop on the left. Take a left at the next signal, then go straight for a while, then on the 3rd Signal take a left then go into the street by the bookstore. Keiichi: I forgot already.. tell me from the beginning again.. Beldandi: Haha.. go 50 meters straight ahead.... (Keiichi screams... and stuff) Keiichi: That was a close one.. Are you okay? Huh?.. Beldandi: I'm sorry. I've over exerted myself... Keiichi: You don't look too good.. Uhh.. it's raining. Beldandi: From here.. less than 1 kilometer ahead is an old Temple.. just to there... Keiichi: Hey wait... is she sleeping? Old temple? Oh.. that temple. ===============eye-catch=================================== Keiichi: So this is it.. I wonder if it's okay to just barge in? Keiichi: What should I do? She'll catch a cold like this.. Keiichi: I gotta do something with her wet clothes. Keiichi: Uh.. Oh.. Ahh.. What is this? Nothing but useless stuff.. Huh? Alright! Keiichi: Of course, there wouldn't be any electricity in a place like this.. Keiichi: But why did she fall asleep so suddenly.. It's no good, I'm gonna faint.. Beldandi: Keiichi-san! Oh no.. he has a fever! Forgive me! It was for my sake.. Beldandi: Thank God. Beldandi: If this house's spirit is still around, there must be a way to return it to it's beautiful form. Beldandi: Retrace, spin, threads of the past, those who were lost in the past, beautifully, let those spirits together throw out their evil in their souls and bring them back to life. Let those spirits return to there place here in beauty!! **Trans notes: Not very good translation, 'cause it was HARD** Beldandi: You remembered after all... Keiichi: Where am I? Keiichi: What the.. was this temple this nice? Beldandi: Good morning! How are you feeling? Keiichi: Is this your power at work? Beldandi: Yes. Keiichi: Is it okay to use it on here? Beldandi: Yes, it's okay. I received permission, so we can live here starting today. Keiichi: I see. Your power is great huh? Well then, we'd better get this place moved into.. Beldandi: I agree. Keiichi: Now it seems a bit more liveable.. But I spent quite a bit of money at that.. It's another week till I get my allowance.. what am I gonna do? Beldandi: It will be okay. I'm sure that good news will come very soon. I can sense that it is going to happen around you, so please cheer up. Keiichi: Well if you say so, I'm sure it'll be okay. (hahaha) Keiichi: Soon it'll be just me and her living together... that means.... No I can't! She's a Goddess, if I do something like that... Beldandi: Keiichi-san, I'll pour some tea for us. Keiichi: Huh? Oh, I'll help you. [aah.. they fall in the classic love-story pose] Keiichi: Belldandi.. Beldandi: What is it? Keiichi: Umm... Arrgh!!! Who is it? Megumi: Ooops.. bad timing. Keiichi: Megumi! Why are you here? Megumi: Hmm.......... Keiichi: No.. umm.. this is.. Megumi: Excuse me! Boy Kei-chan, you were living with a girl.. a foreigner at that... I can't believe it! ? Keiichi: Hey.. Megumi: I'll be staying here starting today! Keiichi: You'll be staying here? Beldandi: Who is our guest? Keiichi: My younger sis, Megumi. Megumi: Don't worry! I understand.. I won't get in the way of you two. But actually, if I could stay here for around a week you'd really save me. I need to find an apartment over here. Keiichi: What for? Megumi: College, College! Starting April. Keiichi: College? You're already that age? Megumi: What are you talking about? We're only 1 year apart. Keiichi: But anyhow, you found me pretty easily! Megumi: I went to the dorm but they said you moved out, so I got your new address and came to find you. I was actually thinking of staying with our nice grampa, but.. since this place is big, quiet and it'll be dangerous living by myself. It'll feel better staying with you right? Keiichi: (I don't feel better about it at all.) This is bad.. ruins my great chance with Megami.. Damn.. if I'm not careful, she'll find out about my Goddess. Megumi: Don't worry. I won't tell mom about you living with her. Keiichi: What are you talking about? This is.. Megumi: What is it? What? What? There's no need to hide it! Beldandi: I'm glad that the 3 of us can live together for a little while. Megumi: You have a really big heart don't you? Just like a Goddess! Beldandi: Oh. Well that's because I am a .. Keiichi: Aaaah! Aaah! Anyhow, we have no choice, so we'll take care of you. Megumi: You two get along well huh? Oh, I'm Kei's younger sister, Megumi Morisato. Nice to meet you. Beldandi: I'm Belldandi, nice to meet you. Megumi: Oh yeah that's right. Here. Keiichi: What is it? Megumi: Mom gave it to me to get settled over here. I'll give it to you. Keiichi: Oooh!!! You're a lifesaver! Now we can LIVE.. Beldandi: That's good news, Keiichi-san. (Sempai): Hey Morisato! We came to see your new place. What is this girl? Bastard! You had a girl this cute and were two-timing her? Keiichi: This is my younger sister, sempai!! (Sempai): Oh is that right? Megumi: If you're Kei-chan's sempai, then I guess you'll be my sempai too. I'm going to Nekomi-Institute starting this fall. I'm Keiichi Morisato's younger sister, Megumi. (Sempai): Oh is that so? You're going to join the auto-club? Megumi: Huh? I'll think about it.. Keiichi: Hey you chose Nekomi for college? Megumi: That's right? (Sempai): Let's celebrate Keiichi's new place, and Negumi's entrance to Nekomi! Keiichi: Just when we were going to be alone together... (Sempai): Hey Morisato! Come over here and drink!! Keiichi: Huhh.. Beldandi: Is it okay if I join you? Keiichi: Sure. -the end of episode 1- (Please send all corrections or comments to dougcha@netcom.com) (GEnie address: D.Cha1) -- +-----------------------------------------+------------------------------+ | Shinohara Heavy Industries of Honolulu | ++Neo Jion Press ---+ | ---------- | ------ | Letterman for President in 1996!! | (C) Doug Cha ------ | %Official Orange Road Addict Member% | ------ +---------------------------------------------------
