第19話: ルッカとエロスがノエルの飛行発明と恋愛活動を支えるため、サツマイモを巡って競い合う

19

Lucca finishes her newest invention to help Noelle fly: the "Bu Bu Bloomers". With the bloomers, Noelle will be able to fly using (oddly enough) the power of her own farts, as they're converted into energy by the machine. Unfortunately, Noelle can't fart on command, so Lucca sets out to buy her some roasted sweet potatoes to speed up the process. Coincidentally, Eros is also on a mission to buy roasted sweet potatoes for Silky in hopes of currying her favor. And, what's more? Mikael and Raphael are selling sweet potatoes from a cart in order to earn money to pay their rent. Lucca and Eros race to the cart, and Eros wins, buying every last sweet potato, much to Lucca's frustration (mostly due to the fact that she believes Eros has a machine that helps him run as fast as he does). This frustration causes Lucca to temporarily give up on the bloomers project, instead focusing all her energy on finding out the secret to Eros's speed. Meanwhile, Eros--whose attempt at wooing silky with the potatoes was wildly unsuccessful--has returned to find better sweet potatoes to make up for his failure. Lucca ends up challenging him to a potato-digging battle, and although she is using a machine she designed, the two manage to keep pace. That is, until Muse shows up. Muse, who is in the form of a food cart, is furious with Eros's failure to notice her feelings, and takes this anger out by eating all of the potatoes, making it impossible to determine a clear winner. In the end, Eros returns home to be scorned yet again by Silky, Lucca has a new-found hope in the power of love, and Muse is left alone, seemingly heartbroken. (Source: Wikipedia)
