Another thing that bothered him was that although she hadn't hesitated
to start looking through his stuff, quite without permission, she hadn't
intended to steal any of it. She was just curious. The way she had
acted when he pretended to think she was a thief made that pretty clear,
although while he had been watching her root through his {bad : bag} he had
noticed that she lingered a bit long on the sake contained within. Now
that he was away from her he regretted doing it somewhat since he
wouldn't have minded the company, but he was also glad that she wasn't
around to keep asking him questions, too. Some of them could have
gotten a bit awkward, especially if she'd noticed the 'remarkable'
resemblance between him and the boy in the photographs. It would be one
thing if they looked similar, but it was quite clear that he was a
younger version, not just a sibling, which would have definitely caught
her interest.
She noticed Belldandy was standing on the table the other two were
sitting at, quietly watching them talk. Apparently she was content to
let them figure out how to solve this situation.
This confused me at first since I didn't notice anything earlier indicating
that Belldandy was shrunken. The first other indication I found was when
she was on the counter directing Keiichi in the kitchen.
He pulled back around the corner and into the hallway, focusing on
making himself invisible, since he must have slipped and let the
Umisenken go {on : by} accident. He quickly made his way to the door and
exited, then jumped silently onto the roof in case anybody tried looking
for him, which he was sure they would. Even an outcry of intruders from
a midget would be looked into by anybody halfway sensible.
Who was that boy? Now that she'd had a bit of time to relax and think
about the situation, she realized that even a gifted human his age
shouldn't be as physically adept as he appeared to be, let alone able to
read auras well enough to sense her continuously dwindling mana. The
fact that he could even sense her godhood was amazing in itself,
considering how low her power level was with the current {crises : crisis}, but to
be capable of sensing the minute changes in it as he did was beyond
belief.
Once in her room she started sorting through her closet, which Belldandy
had somehow managed to stuff with clothes that fit her current form,
although she had no idea {who : how} that had been managed, nor how Belldandy
had managed to pick out clothes that were actually somewhat tasteful
rather than those bland housedresses she always wore. Disgusting
things, not fit to adorn a body as beautiful as hers.
This does look interesting. I suspect they will find Ranma in the furo.
