(AN: Loki isn't part of the harem but will be a very important character in Bells life moving forward).

(4 days later)

Bell just left the dungeon a couple hours later after dropping off all his monster drops and magic stones which got him another big haul thanks to his high luck once again.

He made 36K with all the rare drops he dropped off.

Bell couldn't help but chuckle when he remembered the first time he started to make this kind of money, it got so suspicious with the guild, they had a member of the Ganesha Familia follow and monitor him for 3 days. Just like he told them, he just seemed to have very high luck and kept getting rare drops from monsters, including rare monsters which he found every once and a while.

As he kept walking away from the guild towards the Hostess Of Fertility to both drop off the lunch box Ryuu gave him and to eat dinner here since Mama Mia told him to eat here.

Walking for another 30 minutes he finally arrived outside the Hostess and it was pretty packed, which was normal, since this place is extremely popular with adventurers given Mama Mia always made meals that gave adventurers the energy they needed and it tasted delicious.

"Meow good evening myowhite nyair" said Anya with a smile as she saw him "you hungry meow?".

"Um yeah, also here to drop off the lunch box Ms Ryuu gave me" said Bell with a small chuckle.

Anya nodded her head and gestured for him to follow her and she led him to a empty table with two chairs, that were in Ryuus area, though she was completely unaware that Syr pouted since it wasn't in her area so she could talk to Bell easily.

"Meow here you are sir, Ryuu with nyou soon" she said before going off back to her area of the Hostess.

Bell smiled lightly before he looked at the menu and decided to splurge a little bit since he did so well and he's hoping to go one floor deeper than today since floor 7 was starting to get boring for him.

"Hello Mr Cranel" said a voice he's gotten very familiar with, looking over he saw that It was Ryuu and she had a tiny smile on her normally passive face, from seeing him.

Normally Bell would say hello, but today he wanted to try something different and he cleared his throat before he spoke in elvish like his teacher taught him and his grandfather helped him with since he also knew the tongue.

"Suilad Ryuu, ha's nice na see cin a cín smile ad- (Hello Ryuu, it's nice to see you and your smile again)".

Ryuus jaw dropped and blushed from hearing her native language for the first time in many years and it be spoken so clearly, plus him complimenting her.

"Cin know edhelen? (You know elvish)" she said in her native language and unknowingly respected him even more given it was extremely rare for people to learn elvish since Koine is the basic and most spoken language.

Bell nodded his head "yeah I do... my teacher taught me some along with high elvish, then after she left my grandfather taught me the rest of the language along with a couple others".

Ryuu smiled a bit brighter which made Bell blush a bit given she looked like a forest fairy with how the light behind her lit her up "Thank you.. Bell... It's really nice to hear my native language after so many years" she said while unknowingly using his first name.

"Hehe no problem, besides I enjoyed learning new languages" he said.

"Learning more than one language is a very unique skill and if you ever traveled the world, it would be very useful... oh sorry.. um have you decided what you wanted?" Ryuu said embarrassed since she was enjoying talking to him so much.

Mama Mia watched the whole interaction and smiled seeing this, maybe this kid would do good for her elf and make her genuinely happy.

"Um yes.. I'll have the roasted rooster with potatoes and vegetables" he said pointing at the menu.

Ryuu nodded her head and wrote that down "and a drink?".

"Just water is fine".

She nodded again and walked off but noticed that Mama Mia had a tiny smile on her face "mama?".

"Oh nothing, but make sure when I see a bunch of half elves running around its not gonna be here everyday".

*poof*

Ryuus face instantly went scarlet and her ears and cheeks were a darker shade of red as steam exited her ears and Mama Mia swore enough heat was coming off her head, she could cook a steak off it.

Ryuu handed her the order and quickly scampered off into the back to cool off from her comment.

Back with Bell he was mentally repeating some words in other languages he learned thanks to his grandfather.... though it was only so Bell would get more girls.

"Grandpa why did you have to he such a pervert..." he muttered under his breath.

"Your grandpa was a pervert?" Said Syr behind him.

"Ah! Syr you startled me" said Bell shocked as he turned and looked at her smiling face.

"Oh I'm sorry Bell" she said with a innocent smile that said anything but innocent "I was hoping you'd be seated in my area so we could talk".

"Oh sorry Syr, but Ms Anya put me here since it was the only available spot" said Bell.

Syr pouted but nodded her head, she couldn't do anything about that "Oh I also heard you saying some weird things to Ryuu".

"Oh that was elvish" he said looking at her.

Bell didn't know why... but he swore Syrs eyes glowed purple for a second before they went back to normal "wow that's amazing! Any other languages you know?".

"Yeah, I know Elvish, high elf, Dwarven, beastfolk and a bit of Amazonian" said Bell which shocked Syr given almost no one knew that many languages.

For Bell he could still remember when he told Rose that and spoke her native language as well... the look of hunger in her eyes sent a shiver up his spine.

Syr was about to ask him another question when she was interrupted.

"Syr get back to work!" Yelled Mia "he's Ryuus customer not yours".

Pouting she nodded her head "it was nice to talk to you Bell, hopefully next time you'll be in my area" she said before walking off.

A couple minutes went by and Ryuu came back with the food he ordered along with a cup of water.. plus a thing of pasta.

"Um I didn't order that" he said confused as he pointed at the pasta.

"Mama Mia said your too skinny and need to eat more" said Ryuu apologetically.

"I'm 5'7 and decently fit..." he said before Looking over at said dwarf, he saw her eyes narrow saying one thing.

"Your to skinny, bulk up"

"W-well I did decide to splurge a bit tonight.." he said with a chuckle.

Ryuu smiled and left to go take care of other customers, but she did note that she subconsciously went to Bells table the most to talk to him for a little each time. The part that surprised her the most was that Mama Mia didn't seem to care and just let it be.

More time flew by and then the doors were opened by a certain red headed goddess with a large grin on her face.

"Oi mama Mia get me an ale, I'm thirsty" said Loki as she walked towards the counter.

"All my tables and the counter are full Loki so you'll have to wait" she said non chalantly.

Loki pouted at hearing that and looked around before her eyes landed on a table with a kid she faintly recognized from that night Bete was being a ass.

Bell was eating his dinner in silence when someone walked up to him, looking over he saw a woman with light red hair jeans and a shirt that shows off her stomach and her hair was in a simple pony-tail.

"Hey kid ya mind if I sit 'ere with ya and enjoy an ale or two?" She asked with a grin.

"Um no not at all" he said not seeing anything wrong with it.

"Sweet, I'm parched I ran out at 'ome so I came here to get some of the best" she said sitting down "ya should try some".

"Oh um I'm waiting till my 16th birthday to do that which is a couple months away before I try my first alcoholic drink" said Bell.

"Aww your no fun, but eh can't force ya, mama would kill me" Loki said with a chuckle "so tell me what's ya name?".

"I'm Bell Cranel, it's nice to meet you Ms?" Said Bell not recognizing her at all.

"I'm Loki, the goddess of the Loki Familia" she said with a smirk.

Bells widened like saucers "I-I'm so sorry for being disrespectful goddess Loki a-" "meh you weren't disrespectful, besides just ignore that, I'm just here to drink and enjoy some decent company to talk to since almost all my children are in the dungeon and won't be back for at least another week or two" said Loki cutting him off.

"Umm if your sure... but it's nice to meet you goddess Loki" he said with a small smile.

She looked at him and chuckled a bit before smiling as her ale was placed infront of her "thanks".

"No problem goddess" said Ryuu before she looked at Bell "do you need anything else Mr Cranel?".

"Um no thank you Ms Ryuu" he said blushing a bit.

She nodded her head and left, not noticing that Loki watched how they acted and decided to tease Bell a bit.

"So was that ya girlfriend?".

___

Elsewhere in Orario in a apartment, Rose suddenly felt like she had to add someone else to a list of people Bell will most likely end up with.

___

"Um no" he said blushing heavily "s-shes far to pretty for me... and I'd never be worthy of a elf of her caliber" he said unaware that Ryuu was just a table behind him taking order from another customer and her ears went red.

"Hahaha ah come on kid, ya don't seem that bad, plus your nice, hell ya look like a rabbit and I got a secret for ya since your such good company" Loki said as she gestured for him to lean in. Once he was close enough she whispered "elves love rabbits".

"Rabbits? Why are you whispering that?" He said as he tilted his head in a way that made him look a bit like a rabbit which Ryuu noticed and quickly scampered off.

Loki giggled, she was enjoying talking to this kid a lot, she was even thinking about inviting him to her Familia "ya will learn soon enough, just gotta be wary of my elf girls, if ya act like this around them then I might end up loosing them all".

It took Bell a moment to realize what she was saying and blushed heavily as images as said elven beauties raced through his mind along with Ais, Rose, Zidril, Ryuu and finally Eina.

"RRROOOOOOOMMMMMMAAAAAANNNNNCCCCCEEEEEE!!".

"SHUT UP GRANDPA!!!".

"Hehehe I'm guessing ya saw them or possibly met them, for how hard your blushing" Loki said before taking another swig of her ale.

"Y-yes... they are all very b-beautiful... along with Ms Ais" he said as he remembered seeing his crush with them and that somehow made all of them more beautiful.

Lokis eyes narrowed a bit given Ais was her favorite, but decided to let the kid have a slide since he was nice and genuinely complimented his girls instead of ogling at them.

"Indeed they are, they are my most beautiful girls in the world, especially my Ais-pu, the only ones that compare is Riveria and Alicia in beauty" said Loki.

Bell decided to stay silent but nodded his head since he wasn't sure who was who besides Ais.

"So tell me Bell... wanna join my Familia? Your fun to talk to and I think you'd fit in well" she said a smile.

Bells eyes went wide at hearing this... he would love to join her Familia, but he owed his goddess too much... even if she could be really possessive with him around other woman, especially elves given he has a thing with them and now Rose who openly shows interest in him.

"I.. I'd love to join but I owe my goddess to much for letting me join her Familia and allowing me to reach for part of my dreams.." he said as he remembered how angry she got when Rose was basically smothering him and she tried to forbid him from seeing her.

"Oh and who's your goddess?".

"Hestia".

Loki almost spat out her drink but thankfully didn't "Oh gods, your the kid she's been obsessed with from what Hephaestus mentioned, she won't shut up bout ya".

She saw him sigh sadly "she... can be a handful at times... plus keeps trying to keep me away from woman...".

"Oh and why's that?" She said genuinely curious why a Virgin goddess would be this obsessed.

"I don't know... Ms Rose and Eina are my friends... even though Rose can be a bit touchy and very very flirty with me... sometimes Goddess tries to force me on dates with her or her love on me, but thankfully I can usually wiggle my way out".

Lokis eyes softened a bit and she watched him take a bite out of his food and got some on his cheek, without thinking much, she grabbed a napkin and wiped it off his face shocking him.

"Never heard of a virgin goddess acting like that" Loki said.

"I think it might partially have to do with my dream of wanting to become a dad someday..." he said finding comfort in how easy and nice it is to talk to Loki... it almost felt like he could complain about his day and she wouldn't judge him at all.

"Pretty young to be thinking that, but hey who am I to judge, I love all my children, so just as long as you don't run around doing stupid stuff I can't say anything against that" Loki said as she took another sip of her ale.

___

Two hours went by and Loki was completely shit face drunk, which led to the awkward conversation for Bell trying to figure out where she lived as he took her home and paying for his meal and Loki also tried and failed to pay, until Bell took her wallet and took out the necessary valis.

It took Bell over a hour to find the twilight manor given Loki kept joking and misleading him.

Finally arriving at the gates he saw two guards who ran up to him to get their goddess.

"Ahhh thank you cute bunny, I will tell all my elves to love you for how nice you are... hehehe they will all love you rabbit" said Loki in her drunken state before she promptly passed out.

"Ugh... sorry about our goddess... did she leave a debt for you to pay?" He said.

"Um no, she managed to pay and don't worry it's fine... my goddess is actually worse when it comes to being drunk..." said Bell.

Both guards grimaced at that and genuinely felt bad for the teen, if Loki was this bad when she was drunk... they didn't want to know what his goddess was like.

"Well thank you again for bringing our goddess home, we'll take care of it from here" he said before handing her to the female guard who walked off carrying a sleeping Loki to her room.

Bell lightly chuckled before walking away and heading home... getting ready for the tongue lashing he'll be getting from Hestia given he learned from Loki, they don't get along at all.

After walking for a while, while also feeling like he was being watched again, which made him look around in confusion since it felt like this stare was looking straight into his soul.

He shrugged his shoulders and finally arrived at the abandoned church and walked down the steps into the basement, he didn't even get to open the door fully.

"BELLLLLL!!!!" Yelled a voice as Hestia jumped him and promptly wrapped her arms around his head while burying his head into her cleavage "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?!?! WAS IT THAT HALF ELF AND WEREWOLF AGAIN!!!".

"N-no goddess, I talked to Eina before I went into the dungeon like I always do and Rose is going back to work tomorrow. I then dropped off my magic stones before going to the Hostess and eating dinner since Mama Mia wants Me to eat there as often as possible since she thinks I'm to skinny. I then talked to Ms Ryuu for a little bit before Loki came a-".

"WHY WAS FLATTY THEIR!!! Also you should've brought me with you for a date!".

"S-she said she ran out of alcohol at home and came to the Hostess to drink some, all the tables were packed so she sat with me" said Bell not seeing the vein pop up on Hestias forehead in her anger and jealousy. "Me and her talked for a while before she got so drunk that I had to help her home since it would've been wrong for me to leave a goddess all by herself to walk home drunk".

"Bell I forbid you from ever talking to Loki again, she just wants to sink her fangs into you and use you" said Hestia letting him go and glaring up at him "now what else happened at the Hostess? Did that elf you mentioned try to flirt with you!?".

Bells eyes narrowed a bit in anger given how she was acting with all his female friends "Ms Ryuu was very nice to me and she took my order and we talked for a bit and I even told her I spoke elvish. Also i dont see anything wrong with talking to Loki, she was really nice and didn't try and force me into her Familia".

"Your not allowed to go to the Hostess anymore either!" She snapped in her anger "I won't let those elves or werewolf or wallenwhatsit or Loki steal you from me Bell, now tomorrow we are going on a date".

"I was planning to go to the dungeon tomorrow, plus Ms Ryuu makes me lunches since I can't make anything here" said Bell.

Hestias eyes widened even more in her anger from hearing that, this is the first time she's learning it.

Before she could say anything, Bell walked past her "I'm sorry goddess but I'm tired and want to get some sleep and I'm gonna be busy all day tomorrow" he said taking off his armor before laying down on the worn down couch that wasn't much more comfortable than the floor.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Waking up early in the morning, with the sun only just now peaking over the horizon. Bell put on his armor and grabbed all his gear along with his backpack, before he walked outside and took a deep breath of air.

"I still have 2 hours before Eina and Rose goes to work.. and I don't really want them to kill me..." he muttered under his breath before his eyes went off into the distance and a strange idea came to his head.

Shrugging his shoulders, he ran off heading to the wall or Orario near the western entrance, where he lives, it took him a little bit to get to the wall but when he did he couldn't help but whistle at it.

The walls of Orario were 20 meters tall and almost 6 meters thick and they completely surrounded the entire city with a circumference of a little over 20 miles.

Deciding he stared at it long enough, Bell climbed up the steps of the wall and was now standing on top of it and could see the entire city which made his eyes go wide. He already saw it when he came to the city, but seeing it like this was different somehow.

"This is amazing... but I can't spend all day just staring" Bell said before he did some stretches and began to run across the wall to hopefully build up his stamina and leg strength for his continuing solo dives into the dungeon.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Come now Lily I have a great job just for you" said Zanis with a dark grin on his face while looking at her.

"Lily doesn't care what you have to say, Lily hates this Familia and you adventurers" she said while glaring at him.

"Hahaha I don't think you have much of a choice, in a little while you are gonna help me find a new way to make lots of money. After all if my sources are right then I'll just need to catch a couple monsters".

"What? Why would you wanna catch monsters, they aren't worth anything" said Lily.

"My buyer is paying top dollar for irregular ones... and you are gonna help me make them" he said as he walked towards her.

"No! S-stay away from Lily!" She yelled before trying to run away, but Zanis moved faster and kicked her leg, breaking it "AAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!".

"Oh shut up, we will heal it later, this is just to ensure you don't run away" Zanis said before pushing up his glasses "Now I shall be back, I have a meeting with Royman".

After he left, Lily curled into a ball and kept crying as she held her broken leg in pain "l-lily hates adventurers... they are all the same...".

___

2 hours later, Bell was heading to the dungeon and was panting pretty heavily given he just ran the entire wall of Oraio.

"Even with falna... that was exhausting.. but... hehe hopefully this will help me get stronger..." he said trudging his way to the dungeon, while in the distance he could see the tower and also the Hostess where Ryuu was standing outside of it, sweeping the entrance with Syr next to her helping by cleaning the windows.

Continuing to walk he finally ended up infront of the Hostess and gave both Ryuu and Syr a warm smile.

"Good morning Ms Ryuu, Syr" he said to them both as he started to regain his breath.

"Good morning Mr Cranel, are you off to the dungeon today?" Ryuu asked him.

"Mhm, hoping to make a decent amount of valis today and hopefully begin to pay off this month's due for our debt" he said with a sigh. He was just happy that now him and Hestia were only in debt to Hephaestus, since they paid off Miach and lord Take.

"Well I wish you luck then Mr Cranel and please be safe in the dungeon, oh give me a minute and I'll get your lunch" she then turned and left, leaving Bell with Syr.

"So ya gonna come here tonight and maybe sit in my area?" She said with a smile.

"As long as nothing bad happens, I should be able to stop here tonight" he said with a shrug "I'm hoping to clear out the rest of floor 7 today and possibly find a Blue Papilio for Ms Nazza so she can make some new potions".

"Oh well that's sweet of you to do Bell, but aren't they a rare monster and it's hard to find them" said Syr remembering some adventurers complaining about said monsters.

"Ms Eina said my chances of finding one is low, but if I do, then both wings if not damaged are worth 50K" said Bell.

"Wow that's so much money! Are you obsessed with money Bell?" Asked Syr.

"No, not at all... I just need to make a lot to pay off my goddesses debt and for my medicine along with gear, besides that, I could care less about having money" said Bell.

"Wow that's surprising, well I'm sure if anyone can find some, it will be you" she said cheerfully.

Bell smiled lightly while blushing and scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Here you are Mr Cranel" said Ryuu walking out the door with a small box that had his lunch.

"Thank you so much Ms Ryuu, your lunches are always amazing and life savers" he said taking it before pulling out the necessary valis and handing her them so Mama Mia doesn't get angry.

"It's no problem Mr Cranel and like Syr said I wish you luck as well" she said with a tiny smile and tips of her ears going a light red.

Blushing a bit he waved them goodbye before heading to the guild to tell Eina he's heading to the dungeon and see Rose since today is her first day back since the incident in the dungeon with those two adventurers.

As be ran to the guild building, he felt those eyes on him again, he glanced around and no one was staring at him, but it did feel like someone was watching him from somewhere up high. Shrugging his shoulders he kept running until he finally entered the guild building and saw Eina who was finishing up setting up her desk for the day.

"Good morning Ms Eina" he said with a smile walking up to her.

"Ah morning Bell, how are you today?" She asked him.

"I'm doing good, a little tired since I'm trying a new exercise plan to help me get stronger and faster, besides that really good" he said with a smile.

"That's good to hear, so floor 6 again today?" She asked him.

"Umm... I'm actually on floor 7..." he said with a chuckle "I started to get bored on floor 6 and moved to the next one".

Eina lost her balance, but was able to catch herself, with her desk "Floor 7!" She said looking at him shocked and angry.

"U-um yeah... though I've already mapped a decent chunk of it... I'm hoping today to have the rest mapped and cleared and hopefully get approved for floor 8?" Said Bell.

She felt a migraine coming, Bell was just so... it didn't make any sense how he was clearing floors like this and this easily in the short amount of time he's been here. He should still only be on the first 2 floors, maybe floor 3 if he really pushed it.

"I will agree to floor 8... but only on 1 condition!" She said when she saw him starting to smile.

"What is it?".

"You have to deliver 150 killer ant eye drops and at least 90 war shadow claws along with 70 magic stones each from every monster from floor 7" she said hoping that this will keep him busy and not just continuously jumping head first into deeper floors.

"Oh sure, I can do that Ms Eina" said completely unbothered by the quest "anything else?".

"Um... no" she said.

"Alright well I'll see you later Ms Eina, I gotta go see Rose since she asked me to see her when she came back to work" he said with a smile before waving and walking off to the exchange booth where he spotted said werewolf.

Looking up at Rose, Eina blushed since what she said when Bell was getting his new shield and filing that complaint about his sword, was still fresh in her mind.

Rose finished handing a adventurer of the Soma Familia his valis and watched him walk away, when her eyes saw familiar white hair and her ears immediately perked up, with her tail starting to wag, which other guild employees noticed right away.

"Good morning Rose" he said smiling at her.

She blushed a bit at seeing him, since he always looked really good in his adventurer gear "good morning to you as well Bell, how are you".

"I'm really good, I'm trying a new exercise, I saw Ms Ryuu and Syr this morning, with Ms Ryuu giving me my lunch, then I came here and talked to Eina and now you" he said with a smile.

Hearing about these two woman, she immediately made note of their names "that's good to hear and I'm happy you came here to see me before you left for the dungeon, it really improved my mood".

"I'm glad I got to see you to Rose, it's always nice to see your beautiful smile" he said with a closed eyed smile as he tilted his head looking like a bunny.

Roses tail started to wag faster at that, as her eyes gained a hungry look in them, but she was able to control her instincts... for now. "And it's nice to see you to my cute bunny" she said with a fanged grin.

Blushing a bit, Bell scratched the back of his head, before he noticed that a couple adventurers were heading towards them to most likely exchange drops and magic stones.

"I'm sorry to cut it short Rose, but I think I should go so I don't form a line" he said noting that she seemed a bit disappointed, but sighed and regained her professional face.

"Very well, but I hope to see you after your done in the dungeon" she said before deciding to speak her native tongue since he knew it. "Xa yonamuh xazz, I loai qae taad seeing esaeu. zes zaeaer (Be careful Bell, I want to keep seeing you... my moon)" she said while whispering the last part quiet enough that he couldn't hear it.

"I lizz oth I loai qae taad seeing esaeu qae naeza (I will and I want to keep seeing you to Rose)" he said before walking off to head to the dungeon.

Rose knew that the life of a adventurer was dangerous and he had a high chance of dying... but she just hoped he'd be different... and he'll become her mate and father to their children one day.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(3 hours later)

Bell dodged a slash from a Warshadow before he drove his sword through its body, right into the magic stone, he then rolled to dodge a attack from 3 killer ants. Once he stopped his role, he pulled out his crossbow and took a quick shot, which pierced its thick armor and killed it, he then charged back in and used his short spear to stab the second one, while cutting the third in half.

A goblin spawned from the wall and jumped on him and was about to stab him, but Bell jumped backwards and smashed it into the wall, before he turned around and stabbed it, killing it.

"Phew that's 15 killer ants and 7 Warshadows" said Bell wiping the sweat off his forehead before he went and began to collet the drops and stones. It took him a little while but he finished and added it to everything he has and this was a very good haul. 48 killer ant eyes, 25 war shadow claws, 4 Blue Papilio wings, 9 goblin ears, 11 iron tusks and 7 needles from needle rabbits. These were all the drops, not including all the stones he had in his 4 pouches that were filled to the brim, it really felt like the dungeon just kept throwing hordes of monsters at him to challenge him.

"My backpack is completely stuffed... I was hoping to stay down here longer, hmm.. maybe I should eat then drop these off and finish clearing out the rest" he muttered before he stood up to go find a spot to eat. He was about to start walking away when his eyes caught onto something in the distance.

He saw a tall, thin man wearing glasses and very very fine clothes, he had grayish hair and a sword attached to his hip. He was heading towards the entrance for floor 8 and he had 10 people behind him with one of them holding a prum girl under his arm and she was tied up.

"What the heck..." said Bell confused before he that she was also gagged. Seeing that he began to stealthily follow them down the dungeon.

___

"I'm sorry but what Loki?" Said Filvis who had long black hair, that went around her long elf ears and had red eyes. She wore a frilled white dress with a white coat with light blue edges over it.

"I wanna go to the Hostess and ask Mama more bout that teen I talked to last night, also since your sill recovering from mind down, I decided to have ya join me" said Loki.

Filvis just sighed and continued to follow her goddess, she didn't have the patience to tell her it was more of she was conned into coming and to also ensure Loki doesn't do something dumb or get hurt.

They continued walking for a little while until Loki spotted something "What are you doing here itty-bitty?" She said looking at Hestia who was at a food stand selling jagamarukun.

"Working flatty, also stay away from my Bell and keep your elves and that Ais wallenwhatsit!" She snapped while glaring at her.

Filvis narrowed her eyes at the short goddess for being rude to her friends and goddess.

"I don't think my elves have met him personally and even if they did, it's none of our business what they do, we can't control our children Hestia, also don't bad mouth my Ais or girls" said Loki with a glare.

"Then you and those harlots stay away!! Bell is mine and his chasity is under my protection!!" She seethed out in anger.

A audible slap was heard as Loki slapped Hestia across the face hard enough for her to fall on her butt.

"Don't you ever insult my children Hestia!" She said with a glare "all I did was talk to the kid, and if my children talk to him then that's fine, as long as they don't reveal Familia secrets. But you never ever insult them again!".

Hestia glared at her teary eyes before she ran off to go find one of her friends and drag them to the bar with her so she can vent and cry her problems away.

Watching her run, Loki sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose "I swear I will never understand her or why she's so obsessed with that kid, sure he was nice and knows multiple languages, but what could be so special that a virgin goddess acts like that" Loki grumbled before she kept walking.

Filvis followed and had a raised eyebrow "for what it's worth goddess, I'm sorry you had to deal with that... also you said he knows multiple languages?" She said not really believing it since basically no one learns anything but common given almost 95% of the world speaks it.

"Mhm, he knows a bunch too, with one being elvish and he's also the one that took out that Silverback that was running 'round" she said "hell I even invited him to join our Familia, but like ya saw, he's part of shrimps Familia sadly" said Loki.

"That's surprising to hear and if you think he'd fit in than I'll agree as well" she said as they finally arrived at the Hostess which was serving the civilians, with a couple adventurers mixed in given the time of day it was.

Walking inside Loki saw Mia in the back cooking and walked up to the counter and sat down "order whatever ya want Filvis, this will be on me" she said.

"Ok goddess".

"Loki? What are you doing here this early? Also you were just here last night" said Mama Mia.

"Just wanted to ask a couple questions bout that kid I was talking to last night, would've gone to the guild but I don't want to deal with that pig" Loki said.

"I don't know much, ask Ryuu or Syr, they know him the best, though if you see him tell him to eat more, he's still to skinny" said Mama Mia.

Loki snickered but nodded her head, then looked over and saw said Elf she mentioned.

Waving her over, she asked her a couple questions about Bell to learn more about him since she couldn't remember everything last night given how drunk she was. After a little while her and Filvis left with a bit more information about the mysterious rabbit and how he's already on floor 7 after only a month of Adventuring and has to take some strange medicine.

As they walked, they didn't see Hestia and Miach along with Take heading to the Hostess so Hestia could drink her pain away and eat it away as well.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bells eyes were wide in horror at what he was seeing in this foggy floor. The people that he was following stopped on floor 11 and then chained that girl down before they woke her up. Once she was awake, the gray haired one broke her arm and told her to keep screaming and crying in pain.

As she did that, lot's of monsters started to spawn and head towards them, with them all slaughtering them and keeping the stones.

Bell wanted to step in and stop them, but he knew he wasn't strong enough, so he just stayed in hiding, waiting for a opportunity to jump in.

"Zanis the infant dragon isn't spawning, you already know how rare it is" said the dwarf of the party.

"We will stay here and wait, if we can force that infant to turn Into a irregular than my buyer will pay 2 million for the magic stone given they are next to impossible to get" said Zanis with a grin.

They continued to slaughter monsters and make the prum girl scream in pain by either stepping on her broken limb or breaking another.

Bell was gritting his teeth in anger and self hatred since he knew he couldn't do anything to stop them given they are all at least upper level 1s with the Grey haired one either being a level 2 or possibly 3 given how easily he was dispatching monsters.

Another hour went by when they finally saw it. A infant dragon, it was a large dragon with a height of around 4 to 5 meters and more than 8 meters long, it had pale orange scales and was wingless, with it having to run on all four of its stubby legs.

"Hahahaha good, now get ready with the capture equipment!!" Said Zanis with a grin as he thought of all the money they will make with this level 2 monster becoming a irregular.

The adventurers all moved to the sides and each one held chains with large weights on them, once the dragon was close enough they flung the chains on the dragon to restrain it.

Zanis then pulled out a special potion he bought and that the Ganesha Familia use to capture monsters to bring them to the surface. He waited for his party to restrain the infant dragon enough for the Dwarf of his party to then move in and throw a chain around the Dragons snout to prevent it from breathing fire.

Once that was done Zanis moved in and jumped on the Dragons head before forcing the potion down the Dragons mouth from the small openings between its teeth.

It only took a couple moments before it started to sway and it collapsed on the ground unconscious from the potion it was forced to drink.

"Pff, now start shoving the stones down its throat, I want it to turn Into a irregular" said Zanis before he walked off a little ways and waited.

The others did as they were told and began to force feed the infant dragon, magic stones from Imps, Orcs, Hard Armored, Bad Bats, Silverbacks and Almiraj.

It took a little while but they did eventually force feed the monster, with its instincts kicking in and swallowing them all even when unconscious.

Then the infant Dragons eyes snapped open and it began to groan as it stood up, with its scales starting to turn black and its chest glowing, while it also seemed to grow in size.

Zanis grinned at seeing this, but that soon changed into fear. The dragon began to break the chains from it's body almost doubling in size and what looked like magma leaking from its mouth, given how hot the dragon got from it transforming.

"Zanis w-" a man was cut off when the dragon thrashed and ripped the chain, with it swining hard and fast enough it caved the man's chest in and sent him flying, to then get torn apart by imps.

"Shit! We need to run, that thing is at least a level 3 now!" He said turning and running away as fast as he could, ignoring the fact that 5 more members were just slaughtered.

"What about Lily!" Said the dwarf.

"Forget about her!".

"No!! Please don't abandon Lily!!!" She Screamed in fear, watching them all run away without a second thought, besides the dwarf who looked like he just drowned a box full of animals.

Watching them all run away, Bell gritted his teeth in anger, but had to quickly suppress it as his curse riled up feeling his negative emotions boil over.

Looking down on the ground, the Infant dragon was eating the corpses and only had 2 left, with that girl still being alone.

"I... I don't know if I can save her.." he said looking down at the creature that made a whole party run away.

"Remember Bell a hero always fights to protect the weak, no matter the odds" said the voice of his grandfather.

Steeling his resolve, Bell stood up and charged in to try and save that girl.

With Lily she was trying with all her might to free herself, but she had no weapons or tools and both her legs were broken along with her arm, making it even harder for her.

"L-lily doesn't want to die... she wants to keep living" she said trying to unlock the restraints on her body, to no avail.

The Infant Dragon finished with the body of the last adventurer and looked over towards Lily and began to walk towards her to kill and eat her.

"N-no... someone.. please... SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME!!" She said desperately.

The dragon craned its neck down to eat her, when it spotted a white blur.

Turning, it was met with a adventurer who slashed its left eye, blinding it on that side and giving Bell a advantage.

"Remember Bell, larger monsters are big, powerful beats, but like all monsters, if you can blind them or at least take out one eye, then your chances of winning are much higher. Also remember to limit its movements by cutting its legs, then once it's weak enough, go for the kill but watch out for any desperate attack to defend itself" said his master in a memory of her training him.

Lily slowly looked up and saw a man standing before her with white armor and white hair, in his right hand was a black short sword and in his left was a short spear, along with a elven styled gauntlet shield.

"Ms are you ok?" He asked her, not taking his eyes off the dragon.

"W-why did you answer Lily's call for help..." she said not understanding why a adventurer would protect her.

"Because... your a girl and asked for help" he said while dropping his backpack near her "drink the health potions and run".

"W-what?" She said.

"Take the health potions in my backpack, drink them and run, I will buy you as much time as I can" said Bell.

Lily couldn't understand... he was protecting her and telling her to run while he buys her time.

The dragon finally regained its bearings but was completely blind on one side, shaking its head, it looked for its opponent, until it spotted him.

It let out a loud roar before charging full speed at Bell.

Seeing him come, Bell ran off to the left, in the Dragons blinde spot and got in close, but had to dodge a swipe of the tail that whipped around trying to hit him. Once he landed, he shot off again to get closer and use his sword, since his crossbow, spear and throwing knives will be completely useless.

Getting in close again, he managed to dodge its foot trying to crush him and slashed its back right leg, but had to dodge again as the dragon spewed out a wall of flame and bits of magma from its mouth.

"I have to blind its right eye temporarily or completely" he said as the almost level 3 monster roared and charged at him again.

Moving in again he slid under a bite and tried to slash its neck, but the dragon quickly lifted its head to dodge the slash. It then reared up on its hind legs and slammed down into the ground to try and crush him.

Bell was about to move back in, when he saw that a Silverback was heading towards Lily who grabbed Bells backpack and tried to move out of the way.

Running towards them, he heard the dragon chase and got a dumb idea.

Lily was trying to run as fast as she could while saving her saviors stuff so he didn't loose it, but a Silverback was chasing after her, making his fight pointless now.

"Why... why can't Lily do anything right!!" She thought as tears rolled down her cheeks as she kept running

The Silverback was about to reach and grab her, but Bell jumped on its back and plunged his spear into it's eye, while stabbing his sword into it's shoulder. He then swung his body and thankfully made the Silverback turn as well as it howelled in pain. It tried to grab Bell, but he dodged the first grab and saw the dragon, so he pulled out his weapons and kicked off the Silverback as it ran straight into the dragon.

Seeing the giant ape, the dragon reached down and bit it's head off before it could hurt him.

Bell moved in since the dragon was distracted and stabbed his sword into it's front left leg.

Roaring in pain, It swung it's tail faster than Bell could move and he got struck hard and it was only thanks to his gauntlet shield that he even survived that, but not without a couple cracked ribs and a shattered forearm.

Landing painfully on the ground, he rolled a ways, before coming to a stop and seeing it coming at him.

Before it could get to close, a arrow hit it's neck, but just bounced off the scale, but it still distracted the dragon.

Bell looked and saw that Lily was holding a bow with it having to be pinned to the ground for her to shoot it.

"What are you doing! Run!!" Said Bell.

"No! I-if your willing to risk your life to save Lily... THEN LILY CAN DO THE SAME!!" She yelled out.

He looked at her shocked that she would do that, but shook his head when he saw the dragon charging back at her. He made chase and quickly caught up to it and drove his sword into the previous wound on its back leg.

Letting our another roar in pain, the dragon tried to tail whip him again, but Bell expected it this time, but wasn't ready for the short blast of flames and got some light burns as he barely escaped.

Rolling away, he jumped back to his feet and had to lunge to the side to dodge a bite from the dragon, he then pivoted on his foot and drove his sword through the Dragons snout as it pulled its head back to save its one good eye from being taken.

"Oooooowwaaaaaaaa!!!" It roared in pain before he shook its head hard to try and fling him off but Bell didn't budge.

He grabbed his short spear and tried to stab its eye but the dragon flung its head down seriously hurting Bell and his the only thing that saved him were his stats and armor.

The dragon tried to bite him since Bell was trying to recover from the wound, but before it could, Lily shot a bolt at its already wounded eye and it howelled in pain before turning and looking at Lily and charging.

Bell gritted his teeth and stood up as his curse started to flare up again and he could feel his muslce mass starting to grow and his canines grow longer as well.

Lily jumped to the side and dodged a lunge from the dragon, she started to run when she saw that it was right behind her and was about to bite her when Bell saved her again.

His sword went right into the Dragons right front leg and the most shocking thing was that Bell had enough momentum and strength that it actually knocked it off balance.

"T-thank you.." she said but saw that he was panting heavily and his teeth were starting to look sharper.

"Run" he said with a deep heavy voice as the curse was starting to take over and he wasn't fighting it back as much since he knew he couldn't get a clean hit on the dragon with how weak he was right now.

"W-what n-" "I SAID RUN!!! I CAN'T..." Bell cut Lily off before he fell on the ground and his clothes began to get tighter as his body began to grow "I can't control it much longer and I won't be able to protect you... NOW RUN!!!!".

Lily began to cry since this person she just met was risking her life... her... a stupid prum adventurer who can't do anything and has been nothing but a scumbag to people... he was risking his life to save her and she just couldn't understand it even though he already told her why.

"RUN!!!" Yelled Bell as his clothes began to rip more and his body slowly began to grow.

Lily began to cry harder before she ran as fast as she could.

As she ran, she saw Imps running towards her along with a Orc since they saw easy prey.

She forced her legs to try and move faster but given she's only ever been a supporter and nothing else, her stamina and speed were very low.

Before the Orc could hit her, it froze in fear and turned its head towards the source and the Orc only saw long white claws come in and cleave its head off.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Up in her tower Freya has been watching all of this and was hoping that Bell might be able to kill that dragon, but given it was a irregular and a borderline level 3, plus him having to protect Lily, since every time she tried to run, weaker monsters or the dragon would chase after her. But now Bell was back in his cursed form and he should he able to kill the dragon now... but the next problem is that he won't recognize Lily as someone he has to save and will kill her and that will darken his soul which Freya doesn't want to happen to her Odr.

"Ottar!" She said loud enough for the Boaz to hear regardless of where he was in the tower.

A couple seconds later she heard rushing foot steps, before the door was opened.

"Yes lady Freya?" He asked her.

"I need you to go down into the dungeon again... my Odr is fighting an infant dragon that seems to be a irregular.. I'm sure he could beat a normal one, but this one is borderline level 3 and he has to protect someone else... also he just transformed and I don't want him to kill that girl since it will darken his soul" she said.

"Very well, what floor is he on?".

"11".

Ottar bowed and ran off towards the small balcony on the tower, once their he jumped off and fell a quarter of a mile and smashed into the ground scaring everyone near him. He didn't wait a second longer before he turned and sprinted down towards the dungeons entrance, only being a gust of wind to anyone, level 3 or below and only a blur to everyone unless they were a high level 5.

He raced through the gate and jumped down the massive hole to the first floor before shooting off again. He was not going to disappoint his goddess by failing his mission.

___

Lily backed away in fear as she looked at all the magic stones laying on the ground, along with monster drops as Bell utterly slaughtered them all and now he was trying to kill the dragon.

Said dragon was panting heavily and was barely able to stand on its own legs given the amount of massive cuts on its body by Bell.

It tried to take a deep breath to breath out fire, but Bell moved faster and in his cursed form grabbed both sides of the Dragons mouth and began to pry them open and rip off its bottom jaw.

It whined in pain before with one last massive tug, Bell ripped it off, he then dashed to the side and left a massive set of claw marks on the Dragons side. He then plunged his clawed hand through its chest and crushed its magic stone.

The dragon gurgled out blood before it disappeared into a cloud of smoke, leaving behind a large magic stone and dragon scales and teeth.

"M-mr..." said Lily hoping he was still in the right mindset.

She froze more in fear as Bells red piercing eyes landed on her as blood dripped down his arms which only had chunks of clothing and his armor left intact.

"P-please Mr don't kill me..." she said as Bell continued to get closer and let out a growl and was ready to attack her, when it sensed another and much stronger presence. Snapping it's head to the side it saw Ottar walking towards him.

Ottar stopped and finally got a better look at Bell.

He was easily seven feet tall with elongated arms and legs and had a large Muscular body that was covered head to toe in thick white fur, long thick tail, triangular ears, big red eyes were even more piercing and his fangs on his snout and claws were caked in blood from the monsters he's killed.

Bell was in his Lycanthrope form meaning that he was cursed by the god Malar, according to what Freya told Ottar that she knew. Though Ottar already figured that since he was still old enough to remember said God creating a army of lycanthropes and attacking Orario, and it was only thanks to the Zeus and Hera familias that the city wasn't conquered by the evil God.

"So your gonna let that God control you Bell Cranel?" Said Ottar in his same tone, not even intimidated by Bells cursed form.

Bell let out a growl and charged at Ottar trying to kill him, but Ottar just grabbed his wrist like nothing and kneed him in the gut hard.

"Gain control over yourself, don't let such a weak curse control you" said Ottar.

Snarling, he tried to slash him, but Ottar just swatted it away and punched him hard enough to send him back again.

Crashing onto the ground, Bell stood up and let out a growl and was going to charge in again, but stopped and just stared at Ottar... as if he was strategyzing.

Ottar raised his eyebrow a bit wondering why he stopped, but he didn't have to wait long to see Bell charge in again but this time not like a wild animal.

Once close enough he went for a slash, which Ottar was about to deflect, but was mildly surprised when it turned out to be a feignt and his real target was his left leg.

Seeing the claws coming, he tightened his leg muscles and the attack just bounced off him, not even scratching his pants.

Bell saw this and jumped backwards to gain distance and try to figure out what was going on.

"So you can strategise... though your still to weak" said Ottar.

Snarling in anger he charged again to attack him.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Ugh... my head..." said Bell sitting up in pain as he looked around confused where he was, until he realized he was still in the dungeon and one of the safe spots on floor 5 that no one went to since it was so far away and had no advantage to go to.

"Master Bell!" Said Lily running up to him with tears in her eyes at seeing her hero ok.

"Yo-" he froze as memories came back flooding of what happened... and that he transformed infront of Lily "y-you saw it... didn't you".

"Yes...".

"...heh... guess my time as a adventurer is over...".

"Why do you say that?" She asked looking at him.

"You saw my curse... I'm sure your gonna report It to the guild" said Bell, preparing to accept his fate.

"No I won't do that... I... I owe you my life and I'll start paying that back by keeping your secret" she said.

Bell looked at her shocked since he wasn't expecting that, but he couldn't help but smile "thank you... Lily".

"No problem..." she said wondering if maybe he was really different from other adventurers.. she didn't want want to get her hopes up but she really hoped he was different.

"Lily.. can you tell me what happened... I don't remember anything after I did transform" said Bell looking at her.

"Ottar showed up and just kept you busy for a while, he then knocked you out with a single punch. He then waited until you turned back to normal before he simply left and I carried you here... thankfully no monsters spawned as I dragged you to floor 5" said Lily.

Bell looked at her shocked that she was able to do that but smiled again "thank you again Lily.." he said before his eyes caught sight of his backpack right next to him, with all his magic stones and monster drops still in it.

"I didn't steal anything" she said.

"Thank you again... but why didn't you bring me to the surface?" He asked her.

"I... I wasn't sure if... you'd transform again... so I thought it'd be safest to bring you here where no one will get caught in case you do..." she said.

"But what about you?".

"...I stayed to thank you and make sure you were safe from any possible monsters that might come in here.. even if this is a safe zone, I've heard stories where monsters will chase adventurers into them" said Lily.

Bell looked at her and nodded his head before looking back down at his clothes, they were torn to shreds with large chunks of skin being exposed, but thankfully not his privates, his armor was heavily damaged thanks to his fight with the dragon, but was still intact meaning he could technically still use it. His shield has a couple scraps on it and his sword was perfectly fine. But sadly his spear and crossbow were broken beyond repair.

"How long have we been here?" He asked.

"About 3 hours.. also sorry but I had to use what was left of your healing potions to save you" said Lily.

"It's ok" he said standing up and wincing a bit in pain "I think it's time we leave... if your ready".

"Sure" she said standing up and picking up his backpack before he could "I'm a supporter, let me carry it for you master Bell".

"Just call me Bell.. and if your sure".

"Ok... m.. Bell" she said before following him as they left heading to the entrance and exit of the dungeon with Bell unknowingly having the Irregular Infant dragon drop and magic stone in his backpack.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bell was heading back to the church and had a small smile on his face, he sold his stones and drops besides the ones on the deeper floors since he was hoping to possibly ask Hephaestus if she could find him the Smith who made his armor and use these materials. Plus if he tried to sell then to the guild... that would lead to lots of questions, then accusations from Royman again given he didn't like Bell since he was making more valis than an entire party of level 1's and Bell basically embarrassed him infront of his employees.

Sighing a bit he then remembered the look on Rose's face when he came back from the dungeon and her eyes screamed one thing.

'You will tell me the truth later!'.

She wasn't happy at how obvious it was that he was injured, but he didn't have any noticeable injuries, meaning he drank a health potion, which calmed her down... though for reason... he smelled really good and her instincts were yelling at her to jump and mate with him.

Bell quickly shook his head trying to forget the look in Rose's head or that when he sold his stones and drops, she (accidentally) kept touching his hands whenever someone wasn't looking.

He walked out of the guild building with 270K valis after giving Lily 55K and promising to make her his supporter after he rests for a day or two which made her very happy.

This kind of money completely unheard of for a level 1 to get, but it was thanks to his high luck that he got all the rare drops from monsters and that Rose didn't bring anyone over to look it over. She knew Bell wore his heart on his sleeve and wouldn't lie, plus he worked on his own since no one wanted to work with him.

Bell continued to walk and he saw the Hostess Of Fertility, but it was closed and construction workers were working on parts of it. Seeing this he ran towards the Hostess and saw that the floor was damaged, lot's of tables and chairs were broken and Hestia was being yelled at by the captain of the Ganesha Familia and Mia.

His eyes saw Ryuu and he walked towards her "Ms Ryuu what happened?" He asked her confused on why this place was so damaged and why his goddess was getting yelled at, even though she looks drunk.

Ryuu looked at him and cringed... she really didn't want to tell him, but knew she had to. "Mr Cranel.. y-your goddess did this... she was complaining about some stuff and you, then she got angry and released her Arcanum... and here's what happened. Also are you ok?".

Bells eyes went wide as he looked at his goddess, but didn't get to look for long as Mama Mia marched over to him with a look of both anger and..... pity along with a hint of sadness.

"I'm sure Ryuu told you what your goddess did" she said.

Bell nodded his head and then bowed his head "I'm so sorry Mama Mia... please tell me how much damage she did... I'll pay it back...".

Her eyes went soft for a moment, she knew it wasn't his fault and completely his goddesses fault, but sadly the children of a God or Goddess have to deal with the brunt of the gods problems and money.

"She did a lot of damage.. I'm gonna be closed for 3 days to repair the floor and the support beam above us along with buying new tables and chairs along with cilverware" said Mama Mia "with all that together, your looking at 1.3 million valis".

Bell looked at her horrified, but nodded his head and reached into his backpack and handed her the massive bag of all his Valis he almost died to get "here you are... take this as a down payment... I promise to get you the rest as soon as I can".

Bell then turned and left, not saying anything else as he walked back to head into the dungeon and didn't hear his goddess yell out his name and try to rush to him, before being painfully yanked back by the Ganesha captain.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

4 days later.

Ryuu was starting to get really worried about Bell since she hasnt seen or heard anything about him in 4 days and even risked going into the dungeon. She searched every single upper floor and didn't spot him anywhere, she knew he didn't flee the city since Adventurers weren't allowed to leave and he would've been spotted trying to escape unless he was at the bare minimum level 6.

She even met a werewolf named Rose who looked like she had her heart ripped out of her chest when she didn't see or hear from him.

Even Mama Mia felt bad for telling the kid since she hasn't heard anything bout him, but given Hestia came back demanding where her Bell was 2 days later, that confirmed he was alive. But then she was thrown out since she was banned from the Hostess or even getting near it.

Ryuu sighed as she opened the front door and saw the early morning sun just stating to peak over the wall and barely anyone was awake. Only those that ran restaurants since they had to get the food ready, hence why her and the other girls were wide awake.

She began to open the windows and move a small table outside for the morning customers to eat outside. She then walked back inside and grabbed two chairs, walking back out she dropped the chairs and her eyes went wide in horror.

Bell was limping towards her covered in lots of cuts, he was bleeding heavily and had a war shadow claw pierced through his shoulder. His snow white hair was matted in blood and mud, his armor was completely shattered and his clothes were drenched in blood as well . He was dragging 3 backpacks full of monster drops and magic stones and he looked half dead.

"MR CRANEL!" She yelled in horror running towards him.

Bell looked up and smiled lightly before his exhaustion finally hit him and he collapsed, but Ryuu quickly caught him, not caring that he was touching her at the moment.

"I'm sorry... I took so long... b-but I think I got enough..." he said with a weak smile as he looked up showing his bloody, cut up and bruised face.

She looked more worried and held her hand over his back and began to chant "The song of a now distant forest. The nostalgic song of life. Please bring the mercy of healing to those that seek you".

A green light came off her hand and slowly, most of Bells wounds healed, including his broken bones and lots of cuts.

"What's going on nya?" Said Anya walking out since she heard Ryuu scream and saw her holding Bell while healing him. Her eyes went wide and she called for Mia before racing over go them "Ryuu is he ok?" She asked in a normal way.

"I think so.. Mr Cranel are you ok?" She asked him, seeing his eyes barely open now given his exhaustion and now being held, so he was feeling warmth from Ryuus body and her magic.

"B-beautiful... your magic is beautiful..." he said before he started to loose consciousness.

"Anya go get Airmid now!".

Anya nodded her head and used her level 4 stats to shoot off heading to the hospital to get her.

"Bell please stay awake" said Ryuu.

Bell nodded his head and tried to force himself to move, but his body refused, so Ryuu helped him up with a arm over her shoulder as she helped him inside the Hostess.

"BELL!" Yelled a voice.

He weakly turned his head and saw red, before he was wrapped up in a warm hug from Rose who caught his scent when he walked past the guild, heading here. Smelling his scent, she easily tracked him down until she saw him being help up by a elf and she couldn't control herself and hugged him, beyond happy to see him back again.

She so desperately wanted to hold him and never let him go and kiss him to show how much she cared about him... but she knew she couldn't right now.

"..I'm sor-" "don't finish that sentence!" She snapped at him refusing to let him go as she helped Ryuu carry him inside.

Bell just nodded his head and struggled to move his legs as they both carried him inside the Hostess, while he still dragged the bags with him.
