Ah! My Goddess by Kosuke Fijishima Chapter 1 "Call Number is Wrong Number" Guy: Yes, Aoyama-senpai is out on important business.... Guy: well... he'll make it up next time.... TV - It's Friday night, and many people are spending it with their love ones. Guy: Yes, so that's that. Guy: Hump. Buy an answering machine or something!! Aah, I don't want to do this anymore. Aoyama - Do your best to watch the house!! Guy: Yeah, yeah. Guy: Oh. Aoyama-senpai asked me to call him up. Voice: Hello, this is the Assisting Goddess Office. Guy: Woops, I think I got the wrong number. Voice: Your wish will be my command. Guy: What the.... wait a sec. Goddess: Good evening. Goddess: What is your wish? Goddess: Huh? Goddess: Dear me. Guy: wha....whawhawhawha..... Goddess: Sorry, I'm late to introduce myself. I am a Goddess Goddess: but please call me Belldandy. Belldandy: Ah.... my card. Belldandy: I'm here to relieve you from your current difficulties. Belldandy: We receive requests through the form of telephone calls. Guy: ....relieve me, what for? Guy - Name card? Goddesses use name cards? Belldandy: I shall grant you your wish, but you're only allowed to have one. Guy: That means...... aaaaanything goes? Belldandy: Anything, of course. Belldandy: If you say you want to be rich, I'll have no trouble granting you that wish. Belldandy: In fact, if you wish you can even destroy the world. Belldandy: Of course, we won't visit that kind of people in the first place. Belldandy: Please state your desire. Narration - Is this a dream? NO, it has to be Aoyama-senpai's prank. Narration - Because I'm not popular with girls, they cook this thing up just to make me look silly. Belldandy: No, that's not the case. Guy: !! Belldandy: This is not a dream nor a prank Belldandy: since I cannot tell lies. But Belldandy: I don't understand, why aren't you popular with girls? Guy: You can't tell by looking? Belldandy: Yes. Guy: Well then, stand up. Guy: Watch and you'll see. This is as tall as I get. Belldandy: ................. Belldandy: I really don't understand. Belldandy: Why does this has to do with being popular? Narration - Wow....she looks like she's serious. Guy: ......... Guy: Well, would you like to hear my wish? Belldandy: Have you decided? Guy: I'd like to ask for you, the goddess Guy: to always remain beside me Guy: ... but to say that Guy: would probably be asking too much. Guy: ! [BAHM!] Guy: Whoa! Wait just a minute. Guy: That was only a suggestion. Guy: WAah! Guy: Oh, ouch. Narration - Wow, she's unbelievably light. Belldandy: Uh Belldandy: Ah. Belldandy: !! Guy: Whah Guy: Woops.... this ain't what you think.... Belldandy: OH NO!! Guy: eh? Belldandy: May I use your phone? Guy: Eh, sure. Guy - Who is she calling? Belldandy: Hello, this is Belldandy. Belldandy: No, what just happened was...... Belldandy: Eh? That was IT? Belldandy: How could you, GOD! Guy - haha..... what's she doing with my phone? Belldandy: Humm Guy: What's going on now? Belldandy: The preceding wish has been processed and approved, we can no longer change it. Guy: Oh, so it's approved huh. Guy: My wish..... that's ni...... Guy: WHAT DID YOU SAY? APPROVED?! Guy: THAT ONE ABOUT STAYING WITH ME? Belldandy: That is the case. Guy: But...that's too unreasonable! Guy: Is there a way to reverse this thing? Belldandy: No Belldandy: Once your wish is granted, the power enforcing your wish is so tremendous Belldandy: no one can resist it. Belldandy: I by myself don't possess great powers. Belldandy: It's like, say, can a TV monitor receive signals by itself? Belldandy: The antenna receives the signals, and if necessary we add a booster, in order to watch the programs. Belldandy: I am merely such antenna, being used to represent the will of the god. Guy: We...well Belldandy: But please don't worry. Belldandy: In order for me, the antenna, to fulfill the obligation, I shall remain with you from now on. Guy: Actually, this is the male dorm of the Nokomi Institute of Technology. Women are forbidden here. Guy: However, if they find out that you're here, they'll probably evict me... Belldandy: Oh, that's not a problem. Guy: So you see what I'm saying? Belldandy: I'm not a woman. I'm a goddess. [NO, THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE HERE.] Guy: Anyway, if you can just step out for the time being. Belldandy: Gee, so that's what you mean. But unfortunately Belldandy: the Enforcer works on you as well. Guy: Eh? Belldandy: Saying heedless things like that may bring you trouble. Guy: What do you mean!! Aoyama: Hey, Morisato! Have you been watching the house? Belldandy: Looks like it's working. Dormmate: Ooh. Dormmate: You. Aoyama: Morisato, you know what this means? Aoyama: What happens to dorm rule violators? Everyone: [EVICTION] Morisato: WHOA! Dormmate: Go find your place first and we'll send your stuff later!! Belldandy: That was the Enforcer's doing. Belldandy: The power prevent us from separating. Morisato: So it did, but it probably won't work this time. Belldandy: ? Morisato: My BMW's (bike) sidecar is broken. Morisato: Hey? Morisato: It's fixed. Dormmate: Oh, Morisato, I fixed your sidecar. Morisato: Yeah, thank you...... Morisato - darn, that wasn't necessary....... Morisato: Welp, let's not stick around here. Get in the sidecar. Morisato - Oh well. Narration - Now come to think about it, that was probably Enforcer's doing as well. End Chapter One feeble translation by d.n.a.b. Version 0.90 3/1/92 --
