Chapter 322

But she never imagined that the worldviews of different World Bubble could be so different!

For example, the worldview of My Goddess and the Honkai are two different concepts, and the way to travel through time is also very strange. It's not the way Li Pu knew, where you find a World Bubble through the Sea of Quantum and then enter through an entrance.

Instead, it uses a special medium, or perhaps a medium exclusively for Goddess.

Just as Belldandy entered the mortal realm from the heavens through a mirror, the method of traversing worlds was similar. Belldandy, who already possessed this skill, only discovered while traversing with Urd that the mirror was merely the entrance to this medium. The passages to traversing worlds seemed to be the same; after entering the medium, she was led by Urd to the next exit.

They were traveling at an extremely high speed, so fast that Li Pu didn't even have time to ask anything before Urd pushed him out of the mirror.

Then it slammed hard onto something that wasn't exactly soft.

"Ouch... it hurts... it hurts so much!" Li Pu said, covering his face. "What bad luck, I bumped into something as soon as I got here."

Although she didn't land face-first, she seemed to have bumped into something hard, and it felt awful. Urd... well... ah, never mind. Couldn't she have chosen a gentler way to get her out of the space?

"If we're talking about bad luck, I should be the one who's really unlucky."

The thing that Li Pu had knocked down and was pinning under, who was unknown, spoke up. His voice was soft, carrying a sense of exhaustion from not sleeping all night, along with a hint of helplessness.

Although it was an unexpected disaster, there was no sign of anger in his words.

'It sounds like an honest person's voice.' Li Pu immediately assessed the owner of the voice, and quickly scrambled off the person, saying, 'I'm sorry, although it was an accident and I didn't mean to. But I'm still sorry for bumping into you...'

As Li Pu was about to pull her up, she blurted out before she could finish her sentence, "Keiichi Morisato?!"

Don't tell me, the person I bumped into really is Keiichi Morisato?! Urd really is something, making her meet the male protagonist as soon as she arrived in this world.

"Belldandy?" Keiichi Morisato asked in surprise, as if she had finally recognized the person who bumped into her. "What are you doing here?"

"Belldandy?" Li Pu wasn't unfamiliar with the name, but since Keiichi Morisato immediately called out his current form's name, he guessed that Keiichi must have already met the real Belldandy and probably made that wish.

Only...

But what stage has their relationship reached? Have they just met, or has it been developing for some time?

Li Pu sized up Ying Yi, a character who fit the typical Japanese manga protagonist archetype. He wasn't tall, only about 160cm. His looks weren't particularly outstanding either; he wasn't the kind of person who was drawn handsomely but was described as plain-looking. He definitely had an average appearance.

They both have unremarkable voices and an air of being easygoing and kind-hearted.

Hmm... judging from this, they must have just met and been kicked out of the dorm, and spent the night at school?

Li Pu noticed Ying Yi's white shirt and the towel around his neck, as well as his listless state after staying up all night. This seemed to fit the content shown in the first two episodes of the first season.

So this is the Nekomi Institute of Technology, and that's how he met Belldandy?

"Belldandy?" Ying Yi felt a little awkward. Although the Goddess in front of her was indeed Belldandy, her eyes didn't seem as innocent and pure as Belldandy's, nor did she have the gentleness in Belldandy's voice.

And even though it's their first time together, Belldandy shouldn't look at him like that, right?

Should we examine it?

"Ying Yi- san?" Just as Ying Yi was starting to feel that something was off about the Belldandy in front of her, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her. It sounded... if it was really good.

Ying Yi turned around and immediately looked surprised, saying, "Belldandy... has become two?"

Yes, that's right, the one who came later is Belldandy. And the real Belldandy! Ying Yi then turned and stepped aside to make way, and Li Pu saw the real one, and the real one saw him too.

'Oh no!' Li Pu thought to himself, this is bad.

Although she claimed she wanted to learn Belldandy's skills to complete her own transactions, she hadn't actually figured out how to face the real Belldandy. Furthermore, after telling Urd, almost everything that followed was out of Li Pu's control.

She could only passively listen to Urd tell her things and then throw her into this world.

So this was really an awkward meeting.

She had completely forgotten what Urd had taught her.

"Um... who are you?" Belldandy was clearly confused and at a loss for words by the person in front of her. The person standing in front of her had the exact same face, the exact same voice, and even the same power... no, the power didn't seem to be exactly the same. But most of them were like a carbon copy of herself, with almost no difference.

Who is she? Why is she here? Why does she look almost exactly like me?

"Ah~ My name is..." Li Pu heard Belldandy's question and decided to say something to break the awkward silence.

But as soon as the words reached his lips, he couldn't bring himself to say his real name.

"It's forbidden!" Li Pu suddenly remembered some things Urd had told her. Because she possessed power almost identical to Belldandy's, she was theoretically also Type 2 Class 1 Unrestricted Goddess. However, since her arrival would conflict with the original Belldandy, she had to distinguish herself from Belldandy. The Celestial Realm allowed partial overlap, but not complete overlap.

And one's past, that is, one's true self, will be completely forbidden from being told to others.

After encountering Belldandy, you need to complete the basic settings given to you by Urd.

As for how to fill the gap, Urd didn't say, saying it would depend on how things went on the day.

"Vivian." In her haste, Li Pu remembered the name of the Lady of the Lake and immediately corrected herself, saying, "She's Type 1 Class 1 Combat-Limited Goddess."

"From a bloodline perspective, I am your twin sister, although we have never met." Li Pu said without batting an eye, "Because of what happened to you, Sister Urd decided to send me here. Recently, things have been a bit unsettled in the human world, so I came to protect you."

Yes, she's a twin sister, and the protection/protection aspect was given to her by Urd. It's meant to provide a plausible explanation for her existence and also to make it easier to obtain her official documents.

So this is perfectly reasonable... completely reasonable... reasonable my ass!

This is a comedy romance anime, okay?! What kind of bird feather protection do you need?

Who will cause harm? Belldandy? Mara?

That unfortunate demon is just here to make us laugh!

Damn it!

Chapter 363 Sisters!

I'm your twin sister, although we didn't grow up together.

The main reason is that I'm a guardian-only Valkyrie, a Battle Goddess, so I was taken away and trained from a very young age...

This is the identity fragment that Urd fabricated for Li Pu, because in Urd's view, although theoretically Li Pu and Belldandy have exactly the same abilities, it is clear that Li Pu is more inclined towards combat, or rather, she is essentially Battle Goddess with a few traits mixed in with Belldandy.

So Urd created this identity fragment for Li Pu, and he could fill in the rest himself.

However, this is such a seriously unreliable premise...

'No way!' Li Pu thought to herself. She certainly didn't expect Belldandy to...

'Holy crap... you didn't actually believe that, did you?'

Li Pu noticed that Belldandy seemed to be... starting to... believe this fabricated identity, if you can't be sure! There might be a little bit of doubt, but Belldandy was clearly more inclined to believe her.

"I made money! I made money! I even bought two phones!"

Just as Li Pu felt the atmosphere was getting more awkward, her phone broke the silence. She quickly pulled her phone out of the inside pocket of her jacket.

A string of unfamiliar phone numbers.

But in this world, who could still call her? Li Pu knew almost immediately who it was. He answered the call quickly.

"Everything's all taken care of," Urd's voice came through the phone, sounding equally surprised. "From now on, you're Vivian, the Type 1 Class 1 Guard Goddess, Belldandy's twin sister! Congratulations!"

"Huh? So fast?" Li Pu was quite surprised. Urd had told her that he made up stories not just to fool Belldandy.

With this information she provided, Urd could quickly verify it and issue her some seemingly legitimate identification documents, allowing Li Pu to stay in this world for an extended period.

Li Pu hadn't thought about getting the certificate or anything like that, and she certainly hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

"A fake certificate?" Li Pu asked in a low voice, afraid that Belldandy would hear him.

"How is that possible!" Urd said, displeased and seemingly surprised himself. "To be honest, I'm starting to doubt that you really are Belldandy's twin sister. I didn't do anything and yet your matter was accomplished. It was actually approved directly by the Lord God, who took care of everything for you."

"Huh?" Li Pu was also confused.

If he remembered correctly, the 'Lord God' that Urd mentioned should refer to their father, right? So what does this mean? An official endorsement from their father?

So there must be something fishy going on here! Anyway, Li Pu doesn't think this is as simple as it seems.

"Give the phone to Belldandy," Urd said. "I have something to tell her."

"Oh~" Li Pu didn't say much more. What could she say now that things had come to this? Could she argue that she wasn't actually her sister? Forget it, there were forbidden things she couldn't say.

"Here you go." Li Pu handed the phone to Belldandy and said, "It's a call from Urd."

Belldandy answered the phone somewhat blankly, perhaps still in a state of temporary mental blankness. She knew she had a younger sister, but she had never imagined that she actually had a twin sister.

This... this is simply unbelievable.

"Hey, sister? Ah! It's the Lord God." Belldandy seemed to have just come to her senses when she said the words "Lord God".

She responded to the person on the other end with "uh-huh" and "yeah".

"Um..." Ying Yi looked a little worried about Belldandy, and asked in a low voice, "Is Belldandy alright?"

"How could nothing happen?" Li Pu shrugged and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept suddenly having a twin sister either. It would be quite a shock."

"If it were you..." Ying Yi said, barely suppressing her urge to complain, "Aren't you the person involved?"

"Oh, I forgot." Li Pu suddenly realized, but still seemed indifferent. "But I'm different from Belldandy. I've always known about her. This is just our first official meeting."

Just as she finished speaking, Belldandy hung up the phone. She had completely shaken off the surprise, daze, and slight mental lapse she had just experienced. In her place was excitement, relief, and an almost tearful enthusiasm. She flew to Li Pu and gave her a big hug, pulling her into her arms and whispering, "It's so good! It's so good, Vivian, it's so good to see you."

'Huh... so? What did the gods say?' Li Pu became even more nervous and helpless.

She didn't know what Urd or the Lord God said to Belldandy on the other end of the phone, but she could feel Belldandy's love—the selfless love from an older sister to her younger sister.

It was such a sincere and passionate love, warm as if it could melt away all ice, a love without any impurities.

This... this is probably the real charm of Belldandy. Someone like me who just drew a character card could never learn it.

"Thank you..." Li Pu was nervous for a moment, but she finally relaxed and gave Belldandy the same hug, saying, "It's so good to meet you."

Yes, in every sense of the word, she was lucky to meet the real Belldandy. That's true both then and now.

"Um... although I didn't want to disturb Belldandy and Vivian's precious time together," Ying Yi, who had been standing by as a bystander for a while, finally spoke up. He asked tentatively, "About Belldandy..."

"I know." Li Pu released Belldandy. How should I put it? To evaluate this hug from the perspective of having no personal desires whatsoever.

I feel like I'm getting too much of a bargain! She's definitely the kind of Goddess you absolutely can't use as a standard to find a girlfriend!

"About your strange wish," Li Pu said with a smile, "Since it has been accepted, it cannot be changed. Given the dangers in the human world, I was temporarily sent here to protect Belldandy's safety, and of course, yours as well. So, from now until the wish ends, though there may be special reasons for me to return, I will stay here at least until then."

After saying that, Li Pu glanced at Belldandy again. Hmm... he couldn't very well admit that he came to learn from her, could he? Although he felt that even if he explained Belldandy wouldn't be angry and would be happy to teach him...

Sigh... the more you lie to Goddess like her, the more uncomfortable she becomes.

"So you mean..." Ying Yi trembling with a mixture of despair and shock, "You..."

"Hahaha~" Li Pu patted Ying Yi on the shoulder and said, "Your strange wish is probably a buy-one-get-one-free deal, or maybe it's buy one and get more. Anyway, be prepared to face more Goddess coming. At least for now, the three of us will have to live together temporarily."

She doesn't know when she can return, but it seems that it will take time to complete her studies. For the time being, she can only follow Ying Yi and Belldandy wherever they go.

"So, although you're nothing special and seem pretty unlucky, just an ordinary nice guy, you're still one of the very lucky few to have met Belldandy," Li Pu said cheerfully. "But I'm not like Belldandy; I'm not a Goddess who's completely ignorant of the human world and just arrived. So, judging from your current predicament, you must have been kicked out of the dormitory and can't find a place to stay, right?"

"You noticed." Ying Yi said embarrassedly, pulling out a two-thousand-yen bill from her pocket. "This is all my money. If it's just the two of us, we'll need a two-room apartment..."

"Renting a place is another matter. If this is really all the money we have, it would be difficult to find a decent place to stay for the night." Li Pu looked at Ying Yi's money and expressed her predicament. "It's hard to say how much money we have to support two people. It would be even more troublesome for three people."

"However... actually you only need to calculate..." Li Pu originally wanted to say that as Goddess, she didn't need to eat, but then he thought about the difference between himself and Belldandy and that she would probably still need to eat, so he changed his words and said, "The main problem is that the house is still a bit troublesome."

Li Pu didn't intend to directly mention that there was actually a place called 'Tarihono Temple' where one could stay. This was because the upcoming plot might involve two different versions, the differences in storyline between the anime and manga versions.

The plot differences between the anime and manga versions of My Goddess.

While the anime and manga are similar in terms of basic characters and events, the anime makes many changes to the plot, some quite significant. This may be due to time constraints, but the anime also optimizes and elaborates on some of the characters' core motivations, making their motivations seem more reasonable.

For example, in the original manga, the two went to Tarihono Temple to avoid the rain, but the anime changed it to Belldandy's prayer.

This is meant to highlight Belldandy's abilities.

So what's next? While it's highly likely this is part of an anime storyline, we'll have to wait and see what that girl brings to the conclusion.

"Eek!!!" Just then, Li Pu, who was waiting for the little girl to appear, suddenly heard an unusually piercing scream that shouldn't have come from this place, followed by a commotion and panic among the crowd. She saw that many people with panicked expressions had suddenly appeared on the school streets, and the campus of Nekomi Institute of Technology had suddenly become chaotic.

"What's going on?" Li Pu was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Isn't this a comedy romance anime?"

Is it really dangerous?

Chapter 364 Honkai

Theoretically speaking, the anime "My Goddess" falls into the categories of comedy, romance, slice-of-life, healing, and heartwarming.

Therefore, the main theme of this anime always revolves around the warm yet seemingly insurmountable gap between Belldandy and Ying Yi human and one god. The main theme is naturally warm and healing, while the addition of other characters also brings a lot of humor to the show.

Of course, from another perspective, this drama does indeed have a certain 'fighting' element.

Although Mara, as the main antagonist, is incredibly weak in combat and mostly appears as a comedic prop, she occasionally manages to acquire some amazing gadgets that cause real trouble for the Goddess.
