Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy (ああっ女神さまっ それぞれの翼)

Most people...

live their entire lives in search of happiness.

Goddesses sometimes bestow a little bit

of that happiness to a selected few.

What's more...

a goddess can also find her own salvation

through that special person's smile.

And this... is the story of a man

who accepted the love of one such goddess.

I have returned at last...

Eleven months and three days have passed

since I left this place in order to further my ascetic training.

It was all so that I might be able to bring happiness

unto people as Miss Belldandy does.

Focused on that thought, I continued with my journey.

Seeking out songs to cleanse people's hearts,

I went to every place where songs could be found.

And now...

at long last I have returned

to report what my training has yielded.

My word, the place certainly is in excellent shape!

I'm sure the temple is pleased at how things have turned out...

Well, I suppose I should go say hello now.

What's going on here?!

There is no way I am going to put up

with any of your nonsense today!

Now hold on!

What on earth are you talking about?!

Gimme a break, will ya!

It's not fair!

You're always making fun of my inventions!

Well, I'll have you know that I'm plenty helpful

to Big Sis, so there, you big meanie!

What a disgrace!

Quarreling before the image of Buddha!

Well, she's the one who carelessly spilled

the precious "love at first sight" potion

that I had painstakingly prepared!

Oh, yeah?!

Well, who's the moron who annihilated my lawn mower

by dropping depth charges on it, huh?!

I command both of you--

stop this dreadful bickering at once!

Clearly, what you two lack is love!

Therefore, listen to my song of love,

which I shall now perform for--

I summon lightning!

Banpei Scud, go!

Cut it out!

For cryin' out loud, what the heck are you

ranting and raving about over there?

Yeah! For a stranger, you sure have been making

an awful lot of noise in our garden, mister!

Just who do you think you are, little girl?!

This is MY temple! And that insolent manner of yours

is going to corrupt your heart, young lady!

Now then, be still and listen my song, and afterwards,

you will cast aside all your skepticism--

AAAHHH!

I have failed...

There is still much more to learn.

I cannot yet face Miss Belldandy after such an incident!

I shall resume my spiritual training immediately!

Some acquaintance of Big Sis's?

Beats me.

Here you are!

Thanks.

That was a huge crash earlier.

Are you sure everything's okay?

Yeah, it was probably just Urd and Skuld

battling it out yet again...

They take sibling rivalry to a whole new level!

Yes, but that is simply because those two get along so well.

You know, just like you and Mr. Keiichi!

And what the heck was that about, Kei?

You know, there simply aren't many sisters like me,

who care so deeply for their older brothers!

If that's the case,

then I wish you'd keep your distance a little more.

So you're trying to say that my being here

is keeping the two of you from being all alone together,

isn't that right, Kei?

Oh, of course that's not true.

The more the merrier I always say!

You know what, Kei? I really pity you.

Mister Keiichi?

It's hard to believe, but it's been

almost a year since you came to this old temple.

Yeah, you're right.

It is also difficult to believe it has been so long

since Keiichi and I made our contract with each other.

There's a "contract?!"

Oh...?

So there's some kind of financial arrangement

that keeps you two together?

I think you've got the wrong idea.

You see, the contract Mr. Keiichi and I are bound by

is a heavenly one.

Belldandy, you're so weird.

Belldandy and her companions successfully terminated

the Ultimate Destruction Program.

As for the data lost in sealing the gate of Hades,

all has returned to normal, save for five percent,

which was unrecoverable.

My, Mara certainly made a mess of things with that program...

Almighty One?

What is it?

In this case, the Goddess Help Line registration file

was among the areas that were damaged.

And so I wondered...

will Belldandy still be permitted

to remain on the surface world?

You are referring to her contract?

Yes.

Because of the Lord of Terror fiasco,

the time one can spend on the surface world is now limited.

Hence, Belldandy must eventually return to her duties here.

I shall contact him personally.

You are dismissed.

Understood.

We've got Professor Kasahara's lecture today, right?

Yes! I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh, hey... you guys going out?

Yeah, we're going to class.

Ooh! Then I'll come with you!

Hello. Morisato residence.

HUH?!

What do you mean it's... "you"? Who is this?

Wha...?!

--THE ALMIGHTY ONE?! --WHAAAT?!

Are you a party to the contract?

Uh... Yes, sir!

He... called for Keiichi?!

How come?

Regarding your contract, I apologize but,

as it was destroyed, I cannot allow the goddesses

to stay on Earth for such an extended period of time.

I know the Lord of Terror incident was difficult for you,

so I have decided to grant a short moratorium.

Therefore, I suggest you find some sense of closure,

if possible.

That's not such an easy situation to deal with

out of the blue...

Even if it was the Lord of Terror's fault,

they were still the ones responsible for losing the data,

so Keiichi's not to blame at all!

But since the Almighty One contacted me directly,

there's not much I can do about it...

So what are we gonna do now, Big Sis?

He has not stated that we need to return heaven immediately.

And besides, I am not the only one

working for Heaven's Goddess Helpline.

There are many others, so I do not believe

they are in danger of being shorthanded anytime soon.

If you say so...

But still, it doesn't make any sense to me how it's

possible Keiichi's wish was the only one that got deleted.

Unless someone erased something along with the Lord of Terror.

What's your problem?!

Are you trying to blame ME for this mess?!

Who's the one who got possessed by the Lord of Terror,

and seemed to enjoy destroying the whole town so much, huh?!

Now that's something I wish had gotten erased.

Well, it's not going away!

I have found some fragments, but I'm afraid

the damage to the essential voice data is extensive.

If I can restore this data,

it may be possible to play it back.

So, I take it that the contractor's original pact

is required?

Correct.

Contact him immediately.

Right. I'll connect the call.

Hello?

What? You say you can recover it?!

Simply put, what it means is that they're going to

reenter Keiichi's wish into the system...

so that his file can be reinstated.

And that's okay with you, isn't it, Keiichi?

Yeah, of course it is!

Are you ready?

Well then, why are you so tense?

Relax. This should be a piece of cake.

Uh... yeah...

Just stay cool... I've gotta stay cool!

Voice monitoring has been activated.

Please proceed.

Right... Okay. Uh, uh...

C'mon! Hurry it up already!

I'm trying to, Urd!

I'd like for a goddess... like you...

to stay at my side forever.

Well, that oughta do the trick, right guys?

The system was unable recognize your response.

Please repeat.

I'd like for a goddess like you to stay at my side forever!

Isn't that what I said before?!

Unable to recognize.

It is likely you have mistaken one or more words.

That's impossible...
