Ah! My Goddess 3 "Burning Hearts on the Road" Translator - Carlton Ridenhour Translation supervision - Ginrei Editing - Keiichi Morisato Planning - Washuu ================================================================ SKULD Why you! SKULD Hey, I did it! SKULD I really am a genius after all! SKULD Somebody do something, please! ------------------ OPENING SONG It won't become love if you only stay close to her My hints are useless, because of your insensitiviy Wearing summer clothes, I came in the spring ocean Sheltered tenderly with your shirt. My heart can't speak for me Please, keep on kissing me My day dreams about the future rise and disappear high into the sky Any woman can be given happiness A new love brings out their radiance Even if you cause a tear to be shed Even if you break her heart, things will end tenderly. ------------------------ KEIICHI What do they expect me to do with this, all by myself? TAMIYA Morisato, congratulations! OTHER Well then, the chosen rider for the annual intercollegiate drag race will be Morisato, Keiichi-kun. KEIICHI Damn, me again? OTHER Don't worry, we'll make you a superb machine. KEIICHI But then they have me do all the work. This isn't a machine, it's a bunch of loose parts. BELLDANDY(Singing) Egg-san.. Egg-san.. let's mix you up, mix you all up... URD You seem to be enjoying yourself there. BELLDANDY I'm thinking of how it will taste when it's finished. URD Let me try. BELLDANDY Okay then, I guess you can help. BELLDANDY Please keep mixing until it becomes slightly firm. I'll be making the cream. BELLDANDY(Singing) How will today's cake taste? One spoon, two spoons, for a sweet taste. The taste of your love and my love. URD You enjoy these petty things don't you? BELLDANDY Really? I think cooking is quite fun. Plus, if I can make Keiichi-san happy with it.. BELLDANDY Urd? URD This kind of thing can be done with our power! URD Such simple tasks just don't suit me. I'll leave the rest to you. URD How boring.. KEIICHI What the heck? The engine mount is 2 mm out of position. Am I going to have to re-weld this thing? URD Do you want me to give you a hand? KEIICHI It's all right. There's nothing you can help me with here, Urd. URD Don't think so little of me. I can do this much if you let me.. URD Hold hands and dance in a circle, destined pieces find their places! KEIICHI Hey, cut that out! MEGUMI Kei-chan, I brought you that meshed hose. What are you two doing? URD Sorry. KEIICHI The engine I just got put together.. KEIICHI I'm gonna go take a bath. MEGUMI Hey wait, Kei-chan. KEIICHI I guess I have to start from scratch again. If only Urd could restrain herself.. SKULD Hello! SKULD Hey, there's no one here? SKULD Who are you!? URD What, what? What's the matter? Skuld? BELLDANDY What's going on? SKULD Sister! BELLDANDY It's been so long, when did you arrive? SKULD Just now, but more importantly, there's a strange guy in there. BELLDANDY Keiichi-san! SKULD I'm sorry. KEIICHI No no, it's all right. I'm not upset at all so don't worry about it. I'm Keiichi, and that's my younger sister Megumi. MEGUMI Nice to meet you. But still, I had no idea Belldandy had a younger sister too. Where did you come in from anyhow? I hadn't noticed at all. SKULD I came from the bathroom. KEIICHI Let's not worry about minor things like that. BELLDANDY The tea is ready everyone. KEIICHI I've been waiting. MEGUMI Wow, cake! BELLDANDY Here you go Keiichi-san. KEIICHI Thanks. BELLDANDY Here you go, Urd. Did you apologize to Keiichi-san yet? SKULD I already apologized to him properly. URD You call that proper? SKULD Would you be quiet. MEGUMI Well then, I'll help myself. SKULD This is delicious! This refined abundance of sweetness.. SKULD Even after consuming it, the flavor lightly remains, and the fresh scent of tea is flooding the insides of my mouth. SKULD This is yours, sister! BELLDANDY This is the first time I've ever made this type of cake, does it taste all right? KEIICHI Yeah, it's delicious. BELLDANDY That's a relief, I'm glad you like it. KEIICHI Nah Belldandy, everything you make for me taste great. BELLDANDY Keiichi-san, you have some cream on the side of you mouth. KEIICHI It's okay, I can remove it myself. BELLDANDY But.. not over there, but on the right side. No I mean your right. Okay you got it off. SKULD What is this? You're being a little too friendly with her! What do you think you're doing, making my sister cook these things for you? My sister is.. she's... BELLDANDY Skuld. KEIICHI I'm going to continue working, so I'll leave this to you then. BELLDANDY I'm sorry. MEGUMI Kei-chan, wait for me. Thank you for the snack. BELLDANDY What's the matter Skuld? What are you so sad about? Isn't there some way I can help, or something I can do to stop your sorrow? Skuld! BELLDANDY Skuld. SKULD Sister, please return with me. You can't stay in a place like this. BELLDANDY I can't do that. I have a contract with Keiichi-san I must.. SKULD You shouldn't have accepted a contract like that in the first place. For my sister, a Goddess, to be living with a human.. plus Urd got stranded here as well, so I'm stuck by myself hunting bugs every single day. I'm.. I.. URD So you came here because you were getting lonely after all. I thought it was something like that. SKULD That's not true! There's no reason for me to take that from someone like you. You couldn't go back even if you wanted to. That's why you've always been a 2nd class Goddess! URD I think you've said enough! SKULD What? You wanna start something? BELLDANDY Stop it! BELLDANDY I don't think it's fair that my actions should cause Skuld so much sorrow, but I'm not here only because of the contract. I have to keep this one promise no matter what. I want to stay with Keiichi-san for as long as he wishes me to. TAMIYA Hey Morisato-kun! Working hard I see. Good job, good job. TAMIYA Wonderful! Beautiful! TAMIYA This is just like a club member to have such pride. I see you've put together this much already.. at any rate, I have a nice present for you. KEIICHI What is this thing? TAMIYA Well if I must tell you, it's a bit of 'black magic', a way of making an engine with twice the output. With it, its capabilities will be limitless. I went thru some real trouble getting my hands on this this. KEIICHI Sempai, you can't mean you brought me a twin engine could you? TAMIYA As usual Morisato-kun, good thinking! KEIICHI What are you talking about? I've already put more than half of this together! And even if we go with a twin engine, it'll be heavier, have worse handling, and probably won't improve its time much in the end. TAMIYA Morisato-kun, we are the stars, the essence of this drag race. If we show up with an ordinary machine, there's no way we could still call ourselves the stars. If there is even a 1% of raising its performance, then we should go for it. This is what the auto-club lives for! KEIICHI What does that have to do with.. TAMIYA Sure, you can do it! You're the pride of the auto-club after all. AOSHIMA I see you're still having trouble at this stage. KEIICHI Aoshima! TAMIYA Bastard! Nekomi Institute already had an auto-club, and you have the nerve to start a racing club. AOSHIMA If you can call this bunch of kids pretending to race, an auto club, then I suppose we would be Formula One team in comparison. It will be no contest. TAMIYA What was that?! KEIICHI What did you come here for in the first place? AOSHIMA Who me? Isn't it obvious? I came to meet the woman who will soon become mine. KEIICHI What? AOSHIMA Right Tamiya-sempai, it can't be that you've forgotten. BELLDANDY Do we have a guest? AOSHIMA Hello Belldandy-san. Beautiful as usual. To me, your beauty outweighs the value of my own life, is more grand than the seven seas, and is more dazzling than the Sun. If that beauty could be monopolized by one person, I would accept the burning of my body in hellfire, or its sinking to the bottom of the sea to be the one. Compared to you, everything else is dim in comparison. Thus your beauty can only make these roses seem even more beautiful, so in anticipation of victory I am giving you these. BELLDANDY Oh, thank you. KEIICHI Hey, just what do you think you're doing barging into another person's home and everything? AOSHIMA Sempai, you should just think of how to handle your loss tomorrow. AOSHIMA Tamiya-sempai, please don't forget our agreement. TAMIYA The words, "to forget, lose or waste", do not exist in our club. AOSHIMA I won't accept a retirement right before you enter tomorrow. Well then, we'll meet at the race track. Eye Catch Scene KEIICHI Sempai, just what did he mean by "your agreement?" TAMIYA Okay then Morisato-kun, I'll leave the machine to you. KEIICHI Hey, Sempai! URD I guess I'll go back and watch some TV. MEGUMI Kei-chan, if we're going to make a twin engine, we'd better hurry and make the power calculations. You know we can't really count on Sempai's frame. SKULD Twin engine..? SKULD What is this? SKULD It won't be able to bear the power like this. Here too. And here. What messy calculations! It's so hard to understand. I can't bear to leave these sloppy designs alone! SKULD Put a sub-frame inside this frame.. this way the power will be doubled. I'm finished! SKULD Ah, such beautiful equations... KEIICHI Thanks Skuld. It's just her to be your sister, Belldandy. BELLDANDY Really? KEIICHI Thank you Belldandy. BELLDANDY Oh, Keiichi-san! SKULD No! I hate you! BELLDANDY I'm sorry, Keiichi-san... MEGUMI This is great! KEIICHI Not at all, she's really helped us out. Now we can start putting it together right away. BELLDANDY She doesn't have any really bad intentions.. KEIICHI Well she's a child, so I guess it can't be helped. KEIICHI Ouch! SKULD I'm no child! BELLDANDY I'm sorry. KEIICHI It's okay, it's okay. Well, shall we start? KEIICHI Hi Skuld, thanks for the designs, they really helped out a lot. SKULD How do you feel about my sister? Why did you make such an agreement with her? KEIICHI What do you mean 'why'? At that time, I was startled when she asked me, "What is your wish?", so I thought it was a joke. But still, I just thought how fun it would be if she would stay with me. Since she came, everyday is a joy to live. I was able to forget all the bad things from before. I even feel as if she were my childhood friend from long ago. I don't know how long things can stay like this, with Megumi, Urd and now you here. There's all kinds of trouble but even those situations can become fun because Belldandy is with me. So, I'm really happy that I made that wish. SKULD So.. how do you feel about her? SIGN {4th Intercollegiate Golden Hammer Cup Competition Drag Race} OTHER All right! Looks great, Morisato! KEIICHI Yeah.. you can trust me. BELLDANDY Here's some lemon and honey tea. Please drink it. KEIICHI Thank you. AOSHIMA I see you've gotten it put together properly. This looks slightly improved from before. Oh, you've modified it to a double GSX unit? Quite an injection system too. But in reality, a last minute change to boost your machine's power shows how the duel is between a man, and a boy. But I won't back down. SEMPAI What's that!? AOSHIMA I guess the outcome of the race is obvious. Belldandy-san, I'll be waiting by our club room after the race. AOSHIMA What? What a shame. Tamiya-sempai hasn't told you yet? If the auto club loses to my club in race, it's been agreed that you will become a member of my club. KEIICHI I haven't of that before! Sempai? KEIICHI At any rate, do you really think we'll go thru it when she hasn't given her consent to it? BELLDANDY It's okay. An agreement is something that must be kept, no matter what it is. But we will not lose. KEIICHI Belldandy. AOSHIMA Now that she's willing, it seems that this bet is official. I'm not going to forget about it later if you lose. Well then. SKULD If Keiichi were to lose.. KEIICHI Dammit! Sorry Belldandy, since I'm not a suitable guy for you, I'll let you break this contract. SKULD That's great! BELLDANDY I've been wrong.. Let's go back together! SKULD And if that happens, we can go back to Heaven. And live happily ever after! So in other words... ANNOUNCER And finally, this is the start of the 4th Intercollegiate Golden Hammer Cup Competition Drag Race. First up is Ichinohashi College's "Rocket Starters" against Iwashimizu's "Black Marks". SCOREBOARD {N.I.T. Electrical Engineering Dept. Drag Race Competition Committee} ANNOUNCER The results of this preliminary race Ichinohashi College, 7.856, Iwashimizu College, 8.042. Ichinohashi College has advanced to the semi-final round. That was quite an impressive time, good enough to win some semi-final rounds. The next heat is between Shyukumo College and Nekomi Institute's Auto Club. Nekomi Institute is somewhat irregular with 2 teams.. BELLDANDY Please do your best, Keiichi-san. ANNOUNCER ..Thus there is both the Auto Club and Racing Club, with a mutual competitiveness between them. ANNOUNCER They've done it, Nekomi Institute has won. Their opposition apparently faltered and gave them the chance they needed. With this we enter the semi-final series. AOSHIMA They better have all the fun they can now. ANNOUNCER Will we be able to see showdown between them and Aoshima's Racing Team? SOMEONE Thank you, thank you! Thanks! KEIICHI Sempai! The engine lags at 6000 rpm's and the vibrations throughout the body are terrible. At this rate we might not make it past the semi- finals! OTHERGUY All right, I got it. Den-chan, we'll change some things around. TAMIYA Hey you, bring some rubber bushings! ANNOUNCER Oh my! There's been an unimaginable time by Nekomi Institute's irregular Aoshima Racing Team 7.036, which has been the best time so far. They seem to be racing at a higher level now, just what kind of changes could they have made? MEGUMI Hey what is that thing? KEIICHI This isn't looking too good. SKULD Yeah, yeah, that will be perfect. This way my sister can realize what a loser Keiichi is. TAMIYA All right! In any case, me and Otaki will take the electronic readings! Everyone else install the rubber bushings! AOSHIMA A piece of cake. But still, it's sure running faster than during the tests. SEMPAI As usual Morisato-kun, you've made it to the finals without any problems. OTHER But at this rate, it'll be a breeze for Aoshima's team. KEIICHI That's not funny! That excessive shaking hasn't stopped yet. OTHER Hmm, in that case it must be the nature of the frame's layout causing it. Well, the best we can do would be to could install a balancer on the handlebar. KEIICHI Anything is better than leaving it as is! AOSHIMA It seems that your only hope will be for us to make a mistake. But you see, our driver holds the record in Japan for drag racing. He makes no mistakes. Instead of letting it go on and exposing your clumsy selves, you should consider giving up Belldandy peacefully, and forgetting about this already. BELLDANDY There is no way we'll do that. We will definitely win. The Goddess of Victory doesn't look kindly on people like you, who can only see a duel with a winner and loser. The Goddess of Victory smiles upon those who always have the burning desire within them. AOSHIMA I understand. If you want to go that far, then let's finish this once and for all. I'll show you the pinnacle of performances. After that, you too will change your mind. Well then. KEIICHI Belldandy, but if we do lose.. BELLDANDY It will be fine. As long as Keiichi-san has a true desire burning within, there's a lucky star overhead for him. I believe so. KEIICHI Yeah you're right. Come to think, I have such strong people on my side. Urd, Belldandy, and Skuld too. With three Goddesses behind me, how could I possibly lose?. This is the Finals, so let's go all out! ANNOUNCER The final has come down to this well anticipated match. Aoshima Formula's team vs the fiery spirit of Nekomi Institute's Auto & Racing Club. This is going to be a good match. BELLDANDY Keiichi-san. KEIICHI What is it? BELLDANDY You forgot something.. BELLDANDY It's a victory charm, it should be guaranteed now. KEIICHI A charm... ANNOUNCER Morisato-kun, I'm cheering for you as well!! KEIICHI Dammit! OTHERS We did it! ANNOUNCER They've done it, Nekomi Institute's Auto Club has won! What a show of pride. Aoshima Formula has been defeated due to engine failure. They were doing really well in the first half, but perhaps they were having some problems after all. Or perhaps there was a problem with creating a last minute team like this? AOSHIMA It was perfect.. "burning heart?" BELLDANDY Oh, how pretty. KEIICHI Would you like one? BELLDANDY Oh, no it's all right. KEIICHI Wait a second, okay.. KEIICHI Damn. I left all my money inside my coat. URD You're so pathetic. Can't you even give gifts to a girl? BELLDANDY No, it's okay. KEIICHI I'm sorry, Belldandy. SKULD What is this? You can't do even that much for her? SKULD I hate Keiichi after all! ENDING SONG Congratulations! "Ah! My Goddess" ending theme (1993) We held hands, while strolling at a summer resort coincedentally we came upon a wedding chapel In the morning breeze, they were singing a hymn Those two are so happy together... Congratulations! Why thank you A white bouquet was offered by the bride Happily, giving it away Next to her was her smiling bridegroom When the car that both of them were riding moved You let out one big yawn I firmly pinched your arm I wonder if he will realize my feelings NEXT EPISODE BELLDANDY I must follow thru with my true destiny. URD In the dream, that's what she said. From that moment on, their relationship began to crumble down. SKULD Sister, please don't be so sad. I'm sad as well, after all, I just made my appearance and the series ends with the next episode! URD Hey, don't ruin the mood!
