As she walked back and forth, Urd covered her face as she took in an annoyed breath, "Let me get this straight… I go away for two weeks for Oktoberfest and Keiichi gets three more women entirely by accident? Is that what happened?"
Keiichi was sitting on a chair and looked at the couch. There sat Belldandy and two others. The third was idly floating above the couch.
The first lady was dressed in a pink harem outfit and had blonde hair.
The second was wearing blue armor that could be swum in, though her arms were in white gloves and her lower half was a fish tail.
As for the floating woman, she had spiky pale blue hair. She wore a blue robe that had a cat tail attached. She looked upon Urd with bored amusement.
Urd pointed at the "So… Pinky! How'd you get here?"
After a little shaking to adjust herself, the woman said, "I'm Jeannie the Genie. According to Keiichi and Belldandy, they were in an antique shop and bought the bottle I was in. After they came here, he decided to clean the bottle, thus freeing me. I told them who I was and gave him three wishes. He looked towards Belldandy and asked her for her opinion. She said she'd support him, no matter what the wish."
"And what were his wishes?" Urd asked.
Jeannie now had a big bright smile. "He wished me free, so I decided that he would be my master and I would stick around."
Urd looked at Keiichi and said, "Keiichi, you blockhead."
The cat-tailed woman cackled, "Hey, that's what I said when I learned about it!"
"Quiet, you," Urd ordered, getting a glare. Urd noted she'd have given the same glare if ordered to be quiet. "Sure, Genies aren't as powerful as the Goddess Relief Office, but you get three of them."
"She seemed nice and Belldandy would have warned me if there was any danger. So freeing her seemed like a good idea," Keiichi answered. "Belldandy did decide to lay down the law, though. So I went to play a game, Mega Man 9."
"And that's where…" Urd asked, pointing at the armored mermaid.
The Mermaid smiled and replied, "Splash Woman and I am a Robot Master, Model Number DRL-067. As I recall when I was pulled into this world, there was a lot of lightning, but of an energy that my systems did not recognize."
Urd looked at Belldandy and Jeannie, who both looked sheepish. Belldandy said, "We had… an argument. There's no need to go over it."
Urd looked back at Splash Woman, who continued, "I landed on Keiichi's lap and he panicked, which caused those two to see what happened. Thankfully, we were able to talk things out."
"Splash Woman agreed to go karaoke with me!" Belldandy said with a bright smile.
"Though she doesn't like it when crowds get too big," Jeannie muttered.
Splash Woman said, "And Jeannie doesn't like them either, but that's because she can't show up in pictures."
Jeannie let out a huff and looked away from Splash Woman.
"And how did Keiichi meet Little Miss Attitude?" Urd asked.
"That's Ryoko to you, pal," the floating woman spat.
"As they talked, I was asked to go outside. I wandered to the back and discovered a buried cellar door in the dirt. I decided to check it out," Keiichi explained. "I found a mummy wrapped in paper seals, but tripped and ripped them off."
A smirking Ryoko put her hands on her bosom, saying, "He got to feel my girls as I went from ugly to smoking hot!"
Belldandy gave a look of disapproval, while Splash Woman and Jeannie gave looks of anger.
"So what's your story, Ryoko?" Urd asked.
"Oh, nothing much. Just your average everyday legendary Space Pirate, scourge of Jurai, and all that," Ryoko answered. "Just waiting for my friend to wake up and fix herself up. Then… I dunno. I might leave. I might stay. Who knows?"
There was a part of Urd that felt like Ryoko was a kindred spirit of sorts. Urd said, "Well, as long as you leave Keiichi here, you're free to do as you want."
Ryoko smirked, though it was a friendly one without any mockery in it. "Guess you're really Belldandy's sister, as that's what her reply was."
Urd had a little smile when she heard that. "So… Any changes to the bedrooms?"
Belldandy answered, "Skuld's agreed to host Splash Woman."
Urd chuckled, "I'd be surprised if she didn't."
Jeannie added, "I'm in my bottle in Belldandy's room."
Ryoko flew over to Urd and put her arm around the Norn of the Past. "We're roomies! I called the Rafters!"
"Huh…" Urd muttered.
"Also, we need to get more booze. We're almost out," Ryoko cackled before Urd grew mad and electrified her entire body to hurt Ryoko.
"You drank my booze?" Urd hissed.
Ryoko let go of Urd and began to wipe away the soot. "To be fair, it was going to expire. You really need to place it in a refrigerator."
"I do have one!" Urd spat.
"Your potions are in it," Jeannie answered.
"Tch…" An angry Urd muttered, looking away.
-o-
An oddly confident Mara was charging some lightning bolts.
"You're outnumbered, Mara," Urd stated, readying her UrdBolts.
"You know what they say about too many cooks," Mara replied.
Ryoko and Belldandy stood in front of Keiichi, while Splash Woman was in front of Skuld.
The Robot Master looked back and quietly asked, "Shall I use the upgrade now?"
Skuld whispered, "No, not yet."
Ryoko said, "Mara, is it? You look like my kinda gal. The kind to get down and dirty in a fight. How about we leave this joint and kick each other's asses?"
Mara pulled out a mirror and looked in it. She chuckled, "No."
Seeing Mara apparently distracted, Jeannie crossed her arms and bobbed her head to send a spell at the demon. Mara immediately aimed her mirror at the group and reflected the Genie's magic spell at the group.
Ryoko was changed into a Cabbit, while Jeannie, Belldandy, Urd, and Splash Woman were changed into chibi versions of themselves.
"Ooops," Mara cackled.
"Jeannie!" Urd growled, while Ryoko hissed.
"Sorry!" Jeannie sheepishly said.
Inside the temple was Chibi-Hild, enacting her real plan.
Stealing the finished Dinner that Belldandy had prepared.

Notes from HotelKatz : A version of this chapter was posted on the Old Goddess Relief Office Forum.
On that one, it had Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club. I changed my mind here and used Splash Woman from the Mega Man Series. I really do see Splash Woman and Belldandy becoming singing buddies.
I don't see Splash Woman getting romantic with Keiichi. Maybe some light flirting, but only to boost Keiichi's ego and help him with Belldandy.
The Upgrade mentioned earlier allows Splash Woman to play any music, like Mara's weakness.
I imagine Ryoko would get into fights with Peorth, much like how Canon-Ryoko got into fights with Ayeka in the Tenchi series.
Maybe Ryoko would get into arguments with Urd. They're alike in a number of ways. But it's the differences that would get on their nerves. Perhaps it's the similarities that would lead to the nastier fights?
Maybe Ryoko would get jealous at how Urd has sisters, while Urd gets jealous that Ryoko is free to do what she wants when she wants.
Urd might seem to do whatever she wants, but she does keep her responsibilities as the SysAdmin of Heaven and older sister duties in mind at all times.
