[Belldandy] "No...he looks like he's nervous." [Urd] "That's nervous? All right then, Grandma Chiebukuro's 45 degree angle chop!" {Urd raises arm to "karate chop" Banpei-kun) [Skuld] "Knock it off! Banpei-kun's not broken or anything like that. And he's not so simple a machine that something like that's gonna fix him!" [Urd] (Too late to stop, karate chops Banpei-kun) "Is that so?" (Shakes her hand in pain) {Banpei-kun is still} "He's fixed" [Belldandy] "It's not that!..." (p. 49)[Belldandy] "Look!" {Irasshaimase Robo walking toward them} [Belldandy] "She's walking."

Pretty basic, a rocket, and..." [Keiichi] "That's not it! Well, I guess it is for that, but..." [Skuld] "What're you talking about?" [Keiichi] "Why'd she react like that? Didn't you make her so that she'd be friendly toward Banpei-kun?" {Skuld's eyes get big, pupils pinpoints} (p. 58){Skuld with same look, points to her temple...} [Urd] "So you did forget [Skuld] (whips around to face Urd)"Did not!" [Urd] "Then what d'you call that?" [Skuld] "Getting the girl by your own power...is basic right?" (p. 59)[Keiichi & Urd] "Hmmmmmm?" [Skuld] "Hey, what's with that 128% disbelieving expression!" [Belldandy] "She's right. You can't fall in love with someone with programmed feelings." (p.60) [Skuld] "Right? " {Skuld runs over and hugs Belldandy} "That's my Oneesama, all right!" {I.R.'s eyes narrow, eyebrows slant down...she pulls Skuld away from Belldandy} (p. 61)[I.R.] "Keep your hands off my Skuld-Sama!" [Belldandy] "'My?'" [Keiichi & Urd] "Skuld-Sama?" [Skuld] "A haha haha..." (p. 62){Banpei-kun is standing outside} [Skuld] "How did this happen?" [I.R.] "I know..." (p. 63)[I.R.] "...that you did all kinds of research for me." [Skuld] "That was...for Banpei-kun..." [I.R.] "That's true love!" {Banpei-kun slides the door open to peek in, I.R. looks angry} (p. 64)[Skuld] "Why do you hate Banpei-kun so much? Is it his blank looking face, or..." {Banpei-kun whips out a magic marker, draws eyebrows and a nose on his face} [I.R.] "It's this kind of thing that makes me say I hate you!" (p. 65)[I.R.] "Rocket Punch!" {Banpei-Kun deflects it} [I.R.] "Pretty good. But that's not gonna work this time. (p. 66)[I.R.]{Rips open shirt, exposing chest} "Breast missiles!!" {Banpei-kun in shock, surrounded by hearts} (p. 67)[I.R.] "What? They're not firing. [Skuld] "I didn't make them." [I.R.] "Eh?" (p. 68)[I.R.] "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! B-but...the connectors in my chest..." [Skuld] "Those are electrical outlet covers!" {Banpei-kun laying on the ground, smoke coming out of his ears} (p. 69)[Skuld] "Isn't there any way you could get to like him? He has his good points." [I.R.] "I'll obey any order you make, Skuld-Sama, but that's one thing I cannot do. Anything else, ask me to self-destruct, anything..." (p. 70)[Skuld] "Come now...I wouldn't do that even if I could..." (Side writing: Will she, like the words say, self-destruct?...or is it the beginning of Skuld's private lesson on love?)
