-oOoOoOo-

Mara walked into the abandoned arcade, carrying groceries. She had just gotten her paycheck and had been feeling hungry.

"Lady Hild, I'm going to be having instant Ramen. What would you… like… to… " Mara uttered as she just noticed what was happening in the main room.

A panicking Hild was on her knees and looking at her hands and body, as if hoping she was stuck in a nightmare. Nearby her was a nonplussed Keiichi, who also was looking at his hands. However, it was more like he was contemplating if he should trim his fingernails himself or go to a salon.

After a few moments, Mara yelled, "What's going on?!"

Keiichi turned towards Mara and calmly answered, "Oh hello, Mara-chan! I tried out something I ordered, but as you can see…"

Keiichi gestured to Hild as he added, "It backfired."

Glaring at Keiichi, Mara dropped her groceries as she growled, "What did you do to Lady Hild, you worthless-"

Keiichi glared back. For some reason, Mara found herself too scared to more or continued glaring.

After calming down, Keiichi answered, "I am Hild and Keiichi is trapped in my hot body, Mara-chan."

After a few moments, Mara uttered a flat, "What."

"I know, I know. It seems impossible that I, Hild, Daimakaichō, could ever have such a failure like this," Hild said, leaning back and covering their head with the back of their hand in a dramatic fashion. After a moment, Hild stood straight up and cheerfully added," But it happens. Now we either wait for it to wear off, call to get a refund and a cure, or get

Mokkurkalfi to make something that'll help us."

"Ooohhhkay… Can we used this to our advantage?" Mara asked as she picked up the groceries.

As Mara headed to the kitchen, Hild asked, "How?"

"Well, either you cancel the wish Keiichi made, or you trick Belldandy into becoming a demon!" Mara explained as she was putting away her groceries. "I can whip up some parasite that can turn her into a demon and you can slip it onto her by seducing her!"

Even though Hild was in a different room and had walls between them, Mara could feel the glare coming from the Daimakaichō. It made her previous glares seem warm by comparisons.

"Ba… Bad idea?" Mara squeaked.

"Quite," Hild said.

Mara had no idea if Hild could harm her while stuck in a human body, but Mara was not willing to find out.

"Anyways, I have bigger fish to fry," Hild answered as she walked in and poured a glass of water. "Like helping Keiichi out."

"Wh-why?" Mara quietly uttered, too afraid to look at Hild.

"The whole 'staring at my body' thing was amusing at first, but it's getting old," Hild muttered as she walked back to Keiichi.

After splashing Keiichi, he uttered, "What the hell, Hild?! Why did you put me in your body?"

"It was an accident. I was aiming to use a special remote controller to control your body and put you in perverse accidents with various women while around Belldandy," Hild answered with a shrug. "Y'know, like in most cookie-cutter manga nowadays."

"Well, fix it! Fix it now!" Keiichi loudly said as he stood up and glared at Hild. Seeing that Hild wasn't scared at all, Keiichi said, "I'm in your body with your powers. Don't act so calm about it!"

"You think I never thought this might happen? I'm the kind of lady to boobytrap her own body, due to her position in existance and magical power. Besides, you have no idea how to use my powers," Hild replied. She raised an eyebrow in a cocky way and added, "Besides… Not only am I trying to undo this little accident for both our sakes, but we both know you're too much of a nice guy to harm anyone weaker than you."

Keiichi glared at Hild before huffing and sitting down on a nearby chair. He muttered, "I hope this gets done before Belldandy finds out. This whole thing will make everything too weird…"

"You're telling me. Just imagine Urd's reaction! She'd freak out and she'd have every right to be" Hild exclaimed as she sat down as well, making sure to stay away from Keiichi for his own comfort.

"I think she would declare it all too weird for her and hide out in her room! That's what I'm planning on doing!" Mara said from the kitchen, calmed down enough to speak to Hild.

Notes from HotelKatz: sorry about being late. Meant to post this on the first. I guess this means December 2nd gets two chapters. One in the morning and one at night.

Like with the other fics in this series, most chapters will be about 500 words and posted once a day.

This was requested by BladeKnightmare in their review of the Winter Tales 2016 fic.
