Hello everyone it's time for a new chapter. Last chapter you experienced your first day on the 18th floor with Aiz.

~~~~~

POV: You

Part 1.

It's morning, well, there's light outside because of the crystals. Today we were all going to a town that adventerures built on the 18th floor, except for Ryuu for some reason. I carried Hestia on my back after she complained that here feet were killing her.

"Hestia, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, of course" she said.

"If your here, whose watching Rai?" I asked.

"Ohh, Hephaestus is watching him. She's a sucker for cuteness" Hestia tells me.

"Okay, it's good that you didn't just leave him" I say.

"We're here" Aiz says and the group sees a rustic looking town with a wooden wall around it.

We walked inside the town and Hestia got off my back. I watched as Lili and Welf looked at the goods and flip out because of the absurd prices.

"Seriously!, 13,000 valis just for this little wet stone, that's crazy" Welf exclaims.

"And they want 20,000 for this raggedy old hand bag" Lili says.

"If you don't like it take your business else ware" The guy selling the goods says and Lili growls at the man.

"And all the inns are extreamely pricy too" Tione says.

"So that's why we decided to go camp out in the woods" Tiona adds.

I then noticed that Hestia wasn't standing next to me anymore "Where'd she go?" I questioned.

"Oh, Goddess Hestia is right over there" Aiz says and points to our left.

We see Hestia trying to barder with a lady over what looked like perfume. As I went to go over to Hestia, a guy walks out of one of the inns and bumps into me.

"I'm sorry about that" I say as I turned to the guy.

I then realized that it was the guy from Hostess of Fertility who I smashed his head into the table "You again" he says.

"How's the nose treating you?" I ask him with no hostility towards him.

"Fine, but you owe me for that" He says before one of his friends grabs his shoulder.

"I wouldn't do that Mord" one of his friends says before pointing behind me.

Behind me, Aiz was staring at Mord and his two friends with a state I couldn't describe. Behind her was Tonia and Tonie glaring at them.

"So your with the Sword Princess?"  Mord says then growls a bit "Lets go" Mord and his friends then start walking away

"What's with them?" Tione asks her sister.

"Their just losers" Tiona replies.

"Nobody hurts you while I'm around" Aiz says as she stood very close to me.

"I can defend myself Aiz" I state and she doesn't reply.

{Time Skip}

It's later in the day, I was on a walk through the forest as the girls were taking a bath and with Ryuu still no where to be seen. As I walked through the forest collecting my thoughts, I feel someone grab my shoulders. I turn around with Hestia knife in my hand and saw Lord Hermes standing behind me with his hands up.

"Woah, sorry to scare you Rook, I just wanted to talk you" Hermes says.

"You shouldn't sneak up on a adventurer like that Lord Hermes" I tell Hermes as I put Hestia knife away.

"Say, (Y/n). What was it like to level up to level 2 so fast?" Hermes asked me as we started walking side by side.

"Slightly rushed I guess, but it was my hard work that got me this far" I replied.

"I see, so how's it going with the ladies now since your level 2?" Hermes says with a wink and nudged me a bit with his elbow.

"Well...."

"I definitely ain't gonna tell him about Aiz, plus I don't know if I can fully trust this guy even if he's a god"

"It's few and far in between" I told him.

"Must suck then" He says.

"No, not at all. I have the best goddess I could of ever wished to have, and I have a party that will always have my back" I replied.

Hermes laughs a bit "I guess adventurers would want that"

Me and Hermes arrive at a reasonable sized stream that lead to a waterfall. We walked near the side of the cliff, not paying attention to what was at the bottom until Hermes trips me and grabs my hand before I went off the edge.

"Sorry, but you have to take one for the team buddy" Hermes tells me.

"What do you mean by that?" I question before Hermes let's go of my hand "Fuck you Hermes!" I shout.

I land in the body of water below on my back, Creating a large splash. I surface from the somewhat cold water and I see that I have accidentally found the place where the girls were bathing.

"Oh fuck" I state as I put my hand over my eyes.

"Oh hey it's Mr. Argonaut~" I hear Tiona say "Did you want to take a bath with us too?~"

"And here I thought you were sweet and innocent~"Tione says.

"I don't think you can call any adventurer innocent" I state.

"Well well aren't you naughty boy" I hear Hestia.

"I can explain I swear!" I say as I still had my hand over my eyes.

I feel someone behind me looking at me from behind. I slowly turn around and opened up my fingers a bit to peek through to see Aiz with her wet naked body as she covered her privates with her hands. At this moment my mind and body were arguing on what to do and my body was winning as I felt myself getting hard.

"Damn it!, as much as I would love to stare at Aiz's wet naked body I got to get the hell out of here before something bad happens to me"

"I'm very sorry !"I shout, embarrassed a bit before charging the hell out of dodge.

I ran out of there and started to run through the forest blindly. I ran for a while before stopping after figuring out that I was lost. I then hear the sound of water moving around, I thought for a second that I had some how I went around in a circle. I walked in the direction I heard the water and when I see the water I heard I see Ryuu just getting out of the water. I immediately cover my eyes.

"I am very sorry I did not know you were bathing here" I tell her.

"It's alright (Y/n), your fine" Ryuu replies "You can look now" I take my hand off my eyes and I see that Ryuu is fully clothed in her outfit from last night.

We start walking through the forest, as we did, Ryuu picked pretty white flowers and held them in her hand.

"I forgot to tell you last night but, thanks for coming all the way down here to save us" I tell Ryuu.

"Think nothing of it, I was planning on coming here soon, you just gave me a good excuse" She replies.

After Ryuu picked up one last flower, we walked to a mound in the middle of a clearing. On the mound were a variety of weapons that have been exposed to the elements and started to rust. There were 10 weapons to be exact that surrounded a tattered white flag.

"I like to come here every now then to bring flowers, so Mama Mia occasionally gives me some time off" Ryuu explains to me as she sets down the flowers at each weapon

"What is this place, is it a memorial?" I ask.

"This is the grave of my comrade from my original familia. you see, we fell into a trap set by a enemy familia, I was the only one that survived, and the rest were all murdered" Ryuu tells me then pauses for a moment "I-I want to tell you something..."

"Sure go ahead"

"Since that day, I..Ive been black listed by the guild, because I killed every last one of there members. Sneak attacks, booby traps, ambushes, no method of revenge was beneath me, I was driven purely by rage and malice. Eventually, my revenge was complete, and I found myself alone in a dark empty ally, drained of every last bit of my strength. I thought I was done, a fitting end for doing something so foolish, then Syr found me" Ryuu tells me with a sign of weakness in her voice.

"And that's when you went to work at the Hostess of Fertility?" I questioned.

"Yes, they took me in, even though they knew about everything that I've done"  She says then turns towards me "Sorry, I probably shouldn't be bothering you with my sob story like this, but in the long run I'm nothing but a reckless blood thirsty elf, I will only disappoint you and break your trust"

"No, you won't. Your more then what you've done in the past and what you were before now" I tell her "Look at me for example, up until about a year  ago I was living on a farm with my grandfather, now I'm standing in the middle of a dungeon with a beautiful, strong girl whose putting herself down because of what she used to be"

"I-I don't know what to say" Ryuu says then pauses for a second before a small smile forms on her face.

I stepped closer to Ryuu until our faces were a small distance away from each other. As I did a small blush appeared on Ryuu's face.

"I don't care what you were or what you've done, because I like the beautiful girl that I'm looking at right now" I tell Ryuu as I looked into her eyes.

Ryuu's blush grew darker before a second later she pushes her lips into mine. Her lips were smooth and soft but slightly firm. After roughly 10 seconds, Ryuu backed away with with the blush on her face from before the kiss still on her face.

"I-I shouldn't of done that..." Ryuu says as she looked away "Your in a relationship with other girls so I'm sure there isn't room for me..."

"There's always room for love when any day can be your last" I tell her and she smiles.

Ryuu takes my left hand and holds it in her hands "Your such a kind person, you are a human that deserves the up most respect"

"This is going to be hard to explain to the other girls. Aiz will be fine, Syr will be happy, but Hestia and Lili not so much"

Part 3.

When me and Ryuu got back to camp, Ryuu went off on her own. A few moments after Ryuu left I was confronted by Bete, the guy who I almost hit with a knife at the tavern a while back.

"I can't believe it" He shouts as he come up to me.

"What did I do now?" I question him.

"I can't believe that you got to see Aiz Wallenstein naked!, you didn't deserve to see her naked body you bastared!!" Bete shouts before going to attack me.

Before Bete could attack me, Tiona and Tione grabbed each of his arms and started dragging him away from me as he shouted at me more. Behind them was a elf girl with a staff and had orange hair put in a pony tail. She looked like she had just seen a ghost. I then see Aiz walking towards me and the elf girl suddenly becomes happy and looked like she was swooning over Aiz.

"We're heading out soon" Aiz tells me "I assume you'll be in the trailing party?"

"Yeah, after your familia defeats Goliath we will be heading out" I replied.

"I see"

"Good luck, and be careful please" I tell her.

She smiles a bit as she held onto the silver ring I gave her that was on her middle finger "I will, be careful as well"

"I will" I say and smiled back "See you soon"

Aiz then walks away as she went to go meet up with the rest of her familia. I walk over to the tent that I slept in last night. When I went in side I thought Hestia inside but she wasn't. On the ground was the perfume Hestia bought and a note. I unravel the note and read the contents.

Rook, we have your goddess, if you want her back in one piece then meet us at the big crystal east of the central woods, and come alone

My mind started to race as worry and anger over came me. The note started to get crumpled as I gripped the paper.

"Your going to regret this Mord" I growled.

{Time Skip}

After running towards the meeting spot, I finally arrived at the large crystal. Mord then comes out from behind the crystal but he didn't have Hestia.

"Where is she?" I questioned him with some anger in my voice.

"Come with me" he says.

I reluctantly followed Mord. He lead me onto a cliff  that over hanged over some of the forest. The underneath of it was riddled with crystals and some of the top had crystals as well. After I got onto the over hand many of Mord's friends block the only safe way off the over hang.

"We didn't hurt your little girlfriend, I'm not stupid enough to get the gods all pissed off at me" Mord tells me.

"So what is it that you want from me then?" I ask him.

"Relax kid, and don't worry, we aren't going to gang up on ya, I was just hoping I could interest you in a little duel. You and me" Mord tells me.

"A duel?"

"Sure, it's simple, the winner can ask what ever he wants from the loser" Mord says then draws his sword "If I win you have to hand over everything in your possession"

"And if I win, you hand over my goddess" I say as I draw Hestia knife and Ushiwakamaru.

"I like your spirit, but I don't think you understand, I'm not here to win, I'm here to make you suffer!" He shouts before hitting the crystal on the ground in front of him, making it burst into shards.

I put my arms in front of my face to protect it from the shards. When I put my arms into a stance to fight, I see that Mord wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"What the hell?"

After that thought something collided with my face and sent me to the ground. Soon after getting up I get hit again, over and over and over. I couldn't see where the attacks were coming from.

"C'mon Mord beat his ass"

"What's wrong? Can't see him?"

Some of his friends say as they watch the fight. In my mind I knew he had to be using some sort of invisibility magic or something.

"How the hell am I supposed to fight against someone I can't see?"

Hit after hit, there's nothing I can do but get back up. I'll be more then black and blue before I'll let this guy win. I stand up again after being kicked in the ribs. I then realized something.

"Since he's invisible, I'll just block my sense of sight, then I'll be able to enhance the rest of my senses"

I close my eyes, my sight became almost like that of a dream world. It's like I could feel where he was. I sense a attack coming from my left so I lift my left arm and blocked it with my gauntlet. What ever hit my gauntlet retreats before aiming for my back where I flip forwards while trying to kick Mord in the face. I land on my feet before I hit a crystal with Ushiwakamaru and threw some of the shards in the direction i felt Mord was. I see a slight out line of where Mord is before I jump in the air and kicked him in the head as hard as I could. I watch as my leg hits his head and he becomes visible again while a black helm broke on his head. Mord falls to the ground holding his cheek.

"That's it, your dead!" Mord shouts before going to swing his sword at me.

I block his swing with Hestia knife and Ushiwakamaru, then pushed my blades upwards and cut his sword in half. Mord charges at me with his broken sword and really close to my face before I blocked the shot. He put force from both his arms onto his sword, getting closer to my cheek.

"I said stop!" I hear Hestia say as I felt power of the divine.

I see Mord's friends run away before I see Hestia glowing in the place where Mord's friends were. Mord sees Hestia and gets scared before running away. See what happens when you piss off a goddess, you get divine punishment. The aura that surrounded Hestia went away then she ran to me and jumped on me. She hugged me as tight as possible while my face where in her breasts.

"I.....need....air" I say a bit muffled.

"Oh (Y/n) I'm so glad your safe" Hestia says while in tears as she gets off of me.

"It's fine Hestia" I say as I hugged her.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault you came down here and got hurt" she tells me as I felt her tears roll onto my shoulders

"No, it's not your fault, it's just the dungeon being the dungeon" I tell her.

"All's well that ends well" Lili says.

Then the ground shook as we heard a loud crash "What the hell was that?" Welf shouts.

"It's a quake, an evil one" Ryuu says.

We looked at the ceiling of dungeon floor and we see a massive black figure with a white bone face fall towards us through the crystal and once the face was the dice of the ceiling the ceiling cracked.

"Oh Shit!"
