What did Elsie type at the first try?


On first episode of The World God Only Knows Season 2, Elsie types something
like a game, but her first try is wrong.

This is a picture of what she type:

What did it says? And how can she mistype that? It looks really different with
the right one, which is 'kami nomi zo shiru sekai' (神のみぞ知るセカイ), but I don't
know anything about Japanese so I might be wrong and Google translate didn't
help much...




It is the Dragon Quest 2 log in screen (hence the DQ2 password). The first
thing she types in is a resurrection spell from the Dragon Quest series

"Kami nomi zo shiru sekai" follows the same pattern used, which is 3-3-4:

  * Ka-mi-no
  * mi-zo-shi
  * ru-se-ka-i

As to why she mistypes, it is most likely a reference to the fact you load a
life. A life only you know of, hence _The world god only knows_ , Keima's
world.
