It does seem that there may be something that is going on behind the scenes as most of the people don't question all the weird stuff that tends to go on around K1.

Bell rarely uses her powers because K1 more or less asked/told her not to and it causes him distress.

Skuld doesn't realy have any powers at this point, but loves to show of her inventions, many of which are imposable for most research teams to make let alone a 13/14 year old girl.

Urds not public with them but she doesn't try to hide them ether

Spoiler for Just adding more thoughts:

But didn't K1 explicitly tell Belldandy not to use spells in front of other people, and also not to say she's a Goddess? I remember in the first season in episode 03 where Belldandy transformed her goddess outfit into more contemporary clothes in front of Hijiri-chan and her mother. They both kinda freaked out, leading K1 to warn Belldandy about it. But then in this second season, I see Belldandy violating K1's advice...many times. Has K1 forgot his words? Or is he just more lenient with Belldandy since he trusts her more now? And yeah, I also had the thought there's some manipulation going on in the background. My guess is that the goddesses or The Almighty just casts some kind of spell right after some exhibition of powers that makes people forget or alters their recent memories, kind of like the flash-pen in Men in Black. Or some kind of program that increases people's ignorance of the exotic or supernatural. They just don't present it so we don't know about it, but it happens implicitly. Oh well, this is just speculation, so I could be totally wrong, since I'm not a manga reader.
