Keiichi Morisato is a young man who can hardly make ends meet by earning money from multiple part-time jobs while studying engineering in college. One day, while trying to call for takeaway food, he accidentally dials the wrong number and connects with the Goddess Helpline, inadvertently summoning the beautiful goddess Belldandy who gets summoned to earth to fulfill one of Keiichi's wishes. Since then, Keiichi and Belldandy have become close friends, and Keiichi has learned that Belldandy possesses powerful magical abilities.
In episode 6 titled "Ah! A Blessing in Every Bargain?" Keiichi and his friend Toraichi Tamiya manage to score tickets to their favorite band's concert. Ecstatic about the prospect of seeing their idols, the boys start making preparations. But, when they realize just how expensive their venture to the concert will be, they start to worry about the cost of transportation and accommodations for the night. The group is forced to decide if they can afford to spend a significant amount of money on just one night.
During the night, Keiichi's concerns resurface, and he starts to have nightmares about getting stranded without enough money to make it back home. As he walks aimlessly through the night, he bumps into the Goddess Urd, Belldandy's older sister, who has come to visit Earth to try and get Belldandy back to Valhalla. Urd offers to help Keiichi out if he promises to let Belldandy leave him. Keiichi refuses the offer, but Urd decides to help him with his financial situation anyway.
Urd uses her magic to make sure that Keiichi and Toraichi will have enough money to cover their expenses during their trip. In exchange, Urd makes Keiichi promise to order a drink named "Angel Elixir" at the concert. Although reluctant, Keiichi agrees, and the group sets off to enjoy their adventure.
As the concert starts, the group gets overwhelmed by the energy and excitement of the event. However, the night takes a strange turn when Keiichi accidentally touches a cursed item. As the curse starts to spread, Keiichi and his friends find themselves stranded in the middle of a forest. With no way to go back home, and no phones to call for help, the group is forced to spend the night in the forest until they are able to be rescued.
After a night of being stranded, the group is finally saved by Belldandy, who uses her divine powers to locate Keiichi and the others. When Keiichi returns home, he falls asleep and wakes up to find Urd in his room. Urd reveals that the "Angel Elixir" drink was not a real drink, but a spell that Urd used to ensure Keiichi had a good time at the concert. Touched by Urd's kind act, Keiichi realizes that there is a blessing in every bargain.
In conclusion, Ah! My Goddess episode 6 titled "Ah! A Blessing in Every Bargain?" showcases the importance of having friends, even if they are divine beings.
