"Well, I showed you guys a lot of war and battle related multiverse," Kris said while stretching himself.
"Ya right, well at least we were able to witness the great battle." Hermes with his smirk.
Suddenly, Bell felt the presence of extra someone beside him, to make sure he averted his sight and found a boy with black hair and spex sitting and yawning beside him.
"AHHH!"
His scream startled everyone, all eyes on the new boy who they were unfamiliar with.
"Why ya screaming? Never seen a human?" he said.
"Wha- kris?"
Bell along with the citizens of Orario were left baffled, yup that shapeless being is showing himself up.
Kris again stretched his arms and legs, "Ya know, I might control everything here but I too need a break."
"Well, so this is your real form?" Hestia asked in her own surprise.
"Yup, okay for now I am not making any invisible wall or something else. But if you go out of control, I have to take major precautions," Kris said with a little laugh imagining Loki will be the first person to screw things up so did Loki felt a shock run down her spine.
"So Kris, what are you gonna show us next?" Welf asked the boy.
"Well for the time being, I am dropping to show Bell's multiverse."
Hearing this Hestia familia was sad, but now the question kicks in.
"So who is it this time?"
Kris gave a grin, his eyes locked on the werewolf who just got snapped by his stare.
"Why are ya staring at me?"
"Well this time I will be showing Vanargand's multiverse."
Everyone ooo'ed at the comment Kris made. To be honest, they never imagined what his multiverse version might be like. Will he be obedient? Weak? Nice? Kind? Or a Evil guy?
Certainly Loki was over excited to see the tsundere wolf's multiverse.
"Well before we go on, I will be explaining some new terminologies that you would be witnessing."
"Some new terminologies?" Finn.
"Yup, uh… cus this one is pretty much similar to my world."
This comment made them curious to know about their new friend's world.
"Well I want to try doing it, so I am gonna show it in a different way."
"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Welf clapped his fist together.
"Okay then, Multiverse starts in 3… 2… 1… go!"
The scene starts off with Bete wearing a purple coat and pants, white uniform underneath with shirt half tucked out and improper placement of tie. He looks down at the person in front of him who got beaten by him.
"Tsk… don't you dare cross paths with me understand?"
"Y-Yes-sir…"
Everyone just stared at what Bete was wearing, moreover they were surprised as he was a human in that world.
"So Bete is a human in that world?" Loki asked.
"Well I should've told you before, the world you see has no demi-human race as well as monsters."
Everyone was surprised to hear that, no demi-humans exist there? What more, even monsters don't exist.
"Well that world consists of humans and animals."
"What about us gods?" Hermes asked.
"Well they do exist but in heavens. In that world gods are believed to exist," he didn't have words to put but continued, "Well what I mean to say is that, some of them believe gods exist and some of them don't."
"It's surprising to see that gods in that world aren't interested in descending to the lower world," Ouranos gave his point.
"Well not all worlds are the same," Kris shrugged off.
"By the way, what is he wearing? It's quite different from our world clothing," Tiona asked, gaining a nod from her friends.
"Well that there is a school uniform."
"School," Ais
"Uniform?" Lefiya
"Pretty fancy I do say so myself," Tsubaki said with her own amusement.
"Ya before we continue, I have to say that magic doesn't exist in that world," Kris announced to the audience, their reaction was say full of surprise.
A world without magic, they couldn't even imagine what it would be like. Kris continued to explain, "Instead of magic, Science takes place."
"Science?" gods were for some reason amused by the word.
"Well let's say it replaces magic, I will explain when it is necessary," Kris just sweatdropped. Well how can he explain the process of the world he is showing without any reference. Everyone just skipped to the screen.
"So, may I ask what happened? Did that kid do something to Bete?" Finn
"Well the thing is… Bete is a strong person and most of all he is a bully," Kris.
"No surprise," Tiona
"What did ya say?" Bete grumbled.
"Well, he might be a bully, but he is a good guy," Kris assured.
"So he just beats people for no good reason?" Tione asks, shooting an eye on the wolf.
"Hehehe…" Kris stopped right there.
"I wonder what schools are like in that world," Naaza.
"You guys will know it soon," Kris.
The silver haired boy now turns back and takes his leave. It's almost evening time and Bete passes through the playground. Towards his right were small apartments. He entered one of the apartments.
"Gee, tomorrow school again, and I didn't even do my homework… Grr… this is such a pa-."
As he was about to enter, something caught his eyes that made his world stop right in front of him. His eyes sparkled up.
"What are those buildings," Tiona said pointing at one of the apartments.
"It's an apartment, say a house," Kris replied.
"Oooo that looks amazing," Tiona glittered at the sight, this really was new to her.
"Uh… ignore that… What just happened to Bete?" Raul asked, also gaining the attention of the familia. Well he does look dumbstruck after seeing something, but what did he see?
"Well… let's say… the love of his life," Kris grinned at the wolf.
"What?" Bete now being embarrassed as his friends oooed at him.
"Oh oh, who's the girl who took the bully's heart," Tione teased.
"Bete crushing on someone is uncommon for me," Loki said while laughing at him.
Just who is the girl? Everyone wondered minus freya familia as they were not interested in it.
The screen gleamed with sparkles showing sky background, the logo of pens in the bottom left corner and a bracelet with spine design at the top right corner with a line border around the frame, introducing the title with Bell's voice heard on the screen (in disbelief): "Bete... has a crush?"
"Well that all is good but what is that exactly?"
"Uhm well it's my new way of showing this universe."
The screen now shows Bell in his classroom completely drained out of stamina.
"Barely made it on time again," he sobbed.
A recap plays:
"Bell… Bell… seems like he is late again," Ais who called over his attendance was convinced that the boy might get late but before his third call, he slammed opened the sliding door yelling out : "PRESENT SENSEI!"
The class laughed at his entrance making him turn red in embarrassment.
"Wow Ais-san looks beautiful with that outfit," Lefiya.
"Sensei… Is Ais the teacher?" Riveria.
"Yup, Ais is a teacher in that world. By the way you gods are also there but as humans," Kris added.
"Oh, but Bell looks way too drained." Welf scratched his chin.
"Well ya he was late so had to run his way through, and besides falna doesn't exist in that world." Kris.
"*sigh* honestly Bell, well take your seat, I am overlooking it this once," Ais said to him while pointing her finger towards his seat.
"Y-Yes, sensei…"
The recap ends…
"Guess it's been hard eh Bell?"
A voice calls him, as the albino lifts his head and looks towards the seat right to him, he sees his best buddy Welf who just gave him a smile.
"Oh… morning Welf," Bell said with a weak voice, still sobbing.
"Leave that, what happened? Did you have a good sleep?" he asked with a frown.
"Ya it's nothing just," Bell was mostly expressionless, "It's just that I had to stay up late night thanks to someone."
Welf sighed at his friend, "Guess your sister is pulling your nerves too much," said with a sweatdrop.
"So Welf is my good friend in that world too uh…" Bell just smiled.
"What more is, who is your sister?" Hestia questions making others think the same.
"Well it's not that special but I will tell this to you already, In that world Lily is Bell's sister. And you Hestia-sama his mother."
"Wha―"
"Seems fair I guess,"Lily just bluntly replied.
"Supporter-kun!"
"Hestia-sama this is not our reality," she pulls the busty goddess and whispers in her ear, "It's better to watch it, we might get an idea of who might try to seduce Bell-sama in this world."
"Hm… you are right," the goddess whispered back, "okay then let's carry on."
"UwU" Bell buried his face on the table.
"You got a long day to go," as Welf said this Bell froze.
"You look dead bell-dono." mikoto said while welf snickered. bell pressed his lips together.
"... I'm guessing I'm either not a fan or the learning system there is hard..."
"W-What are the subjects?"
"Well, lets see," He leisurely relaxes himself on his seat, "first is geography, followed by history then maths then science and finally," his expression sickens, "the worst of all that is PE."
"Hmm, interesting subjects. Do people really need to learn all those subjects?" Finn raised an eyebrow at Kris, who gave a clueless shrug.
"I guess? People can't complete school if they don't get good grades on these." Finn
"What in the hell is PE?" Mord
"It's hell itself." Kris replied with an annoying tone.
"Ahhh…." Bell's ghost already left his body hovering above, screen showing a pale background behind them.
"PE is the worst for you," Welf put his hands crossed on the back of his head.
"A hella hard day," the rabbit boy sobbed again…
"pffft argonaut-kun really looks dead now." tiona snickered.
"for those still confused, it's physical education." Kris started when seeing all the confused looks. "Basically, it includes a lot of running and exercises. sometimes games that involve physical activity."
"ohhhhh..." everyone 'ohh'ed simultaneously and Bell scrunched his face while Lefiya giggled.
"hah, the human deserves it."
"lefiya-san..."
The screen now shows Bete, having his seat beside the window. He kept looking outside the window which was quite unusual. His friend Raul tapped him for a response but he didn't give any answer.
"ara ara? what's this? Bete is lost in wonderland about someo-'' before the smug tiona could continue, her sister slammed a hand over her mouth. Bete gave her the meanest, most threatening glare he could muster, not that it phased her.
"stop taunting him." Aki sweat-dropped, knowing it will end in a fight.
"aww that's so sweet!" lena cooed to which bete growled, not noticing his own wolf ears turning red.
"Bete… Bete…"
"..."
"Bete… Sensei is asking something!"
"..."
"BETE!" He whispered a little louder.
"wow he's really gone isn't he." Lily hummed and wondered while most started laughing.
"Excuse me Mr. Bete, may I have your attention," Ais burst out in anger hitting her desk with her palm. All students fixed their eyes on him.
Hearing her voice he immediately stood up, "Y-YES!"
silence.
then-
Bete burst out half in surprise and half in horror. seeing ais, actually scare the crap out of him while he was in who-knows-where was equally as embarrassing as being swallowed by a goblin.
"Hm. For some reason I can see her being the sensei." riveria stifled an amused chuckle while ais looked just as surprised. then she glanced at bete.
"... I'm sorry i scar-"
"don't you dare continue that sentence ais!"
"Could you start reading from the part where we stopped?" she asked while holding an open book.
"Ah- y-yes…" he got hold of a book but…
The crowd watching could only laugh harder while Bete was suffering from the (lovestruck) dumbass copy of him that was on the screen.
"*sigh* you are holding it upside down," Ais said while massaging her forehead.
"Wha- I…" He flipped the book in a comedic way, took him few seconds to hold it straight. "Ah… now… uh…"
"aah, ooohh, gaaahh-"
Before tiona could continue the noises, a knife came whirling her way which she dodged by ducking behind her exasperated sister.
"You weren't listening were you?"
"Uh… I.."
Seeing this the whole class started laughing at the boy who just hid his face covering it with the book. At the same time Raul, Bell and Welf were a little shocked to see him.
"ya'll look like you saw Loki and Hestia getting along." Kris commented while all three men present exchanged looks to.
"I mean, seeing THE Bete Loga, a usually calm and cool and kinda also rude werewolf become a laughing stock in front of multiple people..."
"It's kinda refreshing, honestly!" Lena chirped, ignoring a certain someone's glare thrown at her. "It's rare to see him express feelings other than... when, you know." everyone nodded along.
"What's up with him?" Welf said as he looked at the back where Bete was.
"I don't know, it seems like something happened with him," Bell said in the same way as Welf did.
*ting* *tong* *ting* *tong*
The screen shows the school's clock with time as 2:00 PM. By this time the students started to leave from the school gate. Bell and Welf exit together and are seen having chatter. Welf leisurely carrying his bag hanging over his shoulder with his right hand while Bell carried like a normal school boy does.
"I like how no matter what world, welf-san's personality stays the same." haruhime giggled and the rest nodded. Through all the multiverses they had seen, although the scenarios were more than just a little different, the personalities and ambitions of everyone stayed the same.
"It won't be the same thing every time though." kris commented as a lowkey warning, earning confused looks.
"So Bell, I got a new game yesterday, seems fun to play with more than one player, wanna hang around my place," Welf said with a joyful expression.
"Game? So guys your age, in that world, play games?" tsubaki raised a confused eyebrow. Welf stuck his tongue out at her.
"Ehe, it's your usual 'hide or seek' or 'tag' game." Kris chuckled sheepishly. "Put in simple words, humans in that world have very advanced devices and devices in general, that work with charged energy such as electricity. With that they've managed to make games that don't require running around or having other necessary equipment."
"..."
He wasn't sure what flew over their head and what not, but he kept silent.
"No I can't, I still have to help out Lily with her rehearsal," Bell said with an apologetic look.
"Man so I can't help it," he shoots an eye towards the albino, "When is her play?"
"Oh, just in three days," he said.
"Play… as in a theatrical act?" tiona guessed eagerly and kris nodded.
"This new universe is so different!" lily complained. Seriously, there were too many things going around in the world.
"There is one improvement though." hestia started. "Welf-kun and supporter-kun aren't at each other's throats anymore." the rest snickered at that.
"Well then I hope she does good."
"BELL!... WELF!... WAIT!"
From behind Raul's voice stopped them on their track, the black-haired boy came rushing in. After he reached the two, he put his hands on his knees taking heavy breaths.
"Ah, there comes raul."
"As always, tired with only a bit of running."
"No matter what world, he's always out of shape."
"What have I done to you to earn this slander!?" Raul gave an offended shout at the three commenting, whilst Aki, Tiona and Tione chuckled amongst themselves.
"I'm surprised we know each other in that world, we've barely communicated here." bell said, to which they all agreed.
"Whoa, easy now Raul what's the deal," Welf.
"Is everything all right?" Bell asked, a bit worried.
"*phant*...*phant*..." he looks up to them, "It's about Bete."
"Bete?" the two exchanged looks before looking back at Raul.
"Yes~ our dear grumpy wolf has fallen for someone-"
"SHUT UP ALREADY!" Tione yelled and was almost about to smack her sister and Tiona had to duck again.
The screen sped, blurring everything around (speed transition from left to right, dunno how to clearly explain so please bear with me ^^'') and is now showing Bete sitting on three pipes put up in such a way that one can rest themselves easily. They were currently on their playground, this is where Bell (wearing half-sleeve black shirt and green pants) and Welf (Wearing red shirt saying 'Workout' and maroon pants) stood at the left side of Bete (wearing casual like a.. Thug sorry onto your imagination) whose back was shown, and towards the right was Raul (wearing green shirt and Blue pant) standing with a serious look.
"Hmm…" hestia hummed, giving the guys a look-over. Then she nodded. "Interesting."
"Indeed, humans there have such interesting clothes. First the so called 'uniforms', and now this." Hermes nodded as well.
"Uhm… what's with the serious look Raul?" Bell
"You said there is something important to talk," Welf while crossing his arms.
"Guys… listen up… this is a matter of life and death."
Everyone leaned in expectedly. Usually the things Raul considered serious were either dangerous monsters or Aki's Bete's anger.
The environment thickens, Bell and Welf sweat dropped. Probably he is going to talk about some serious stuff.
"The thing is…" He now seems to hold on to his control over... laughing?
"Well.. (prf) basically the thing… hehe..hahaha" Raul could barely hide that, now this puzzled both Bell and Welf. Is this even a serious matter?
"Hahaha… well the thi-",by that time a paper ball was thrown by Bete at him, Raul opened it up…
"Straightly tell them or I am gonna beat the crap out of you"
This made him gallup hard.
"Honestly speaking, that Bete is a bit extreme," Tione pointed out.
"Agreed, he might not get along well but he never went to that extent," Finn added his thoughts.
They might not notice this but for some reason the werewolf was a little pissed to even argue about his character.
"My dumbstruck alternate… tsk… getting along with the weak…" Bete murmured to himself though the animal person could hear him clear as day.
"A-hem," he cleared his throat, "The thing is."
"Hm," Bell and Welf lend their ears to Raul.
"Bete has a crush"
"... eh?" Bell and Welf stopped processing then suddenly starting to laugh like animals, with no control.
"FOR REAL!? OUR BETE IS CRUSHING ON SOMEONE?" Welf.
"THIS HAS TO BE A WILD DREAM HAHAHAH" Bell.
"Wow, for a moment forget about vanargand having a crush but look at that!" Bhors said as he started laughing hard himself looking at the alternate version of the rabbit and smith laughing like that.
"I… well…" Bell also couldn't help but laugh a little on seeing how his alternate is laughing.
"Well it seems like that kind of thing was NOT to be expected," Welf also said while putting an strong emphasis on the 'NOT' word.
This made the wolf even more embarrassed making his whole face redden, was it due to embarrassment or anger?
"Come on Bete this is just the alternate universe," gareth slapped the wolf's back to cheer him up.
"Tsk… I don't even care about that old man!" Bete.
"Well that's reassuring." Finn.
The laughter couldn't get even worse, Bete gave them a stern and murderous stare, "Is ThEre SoMEtHinG WrONg wiTh ThaT?"
The gang stiffens up, Bell clears his throat: "no it's not, everyone has a right to be crushing on someone."
"Ya right," Welf and Raul nodded to his point.
"Good cover there Bell," Welf.
"Thanks?..." Bell replied with a confused look.
"So who is the girl?" Welf asked with curiosity, so did Bell looked at him.
"That's what we don't know…" Raul replied instead of bete.
"Eh? What do you mean?"
"Well, Bete just fell for the girl without knowing who she is."
"T-That's why I am asking you guys to find out about her," Bete finally joined, though he stuttered a little.
"So, where and when did you see her for the first time?" Bell asked to gain some lead.
"Well…"
The screen now swiftly speeds up with another transition. Now it shows the gang hiding near the wall in a three way T-path, they peeped their head out towards a building, near the entrance a board was placed. "Kamito's dancing class."
"Wow… that building is huge!" adventurers and citizens awed at the scene.
"A building for a dance class? Seems like builders put up a lot of efforts there but why?" Goibinue said, though he praised their hard work of the workers who built it but was not sure about why to make this for dance class.
"Actually Goibinue-sama, this building contains different classes where different forms of dance styles are taught by the teachers," Kris replied to the god's question.
"Oh… I wonder how many dance forms exist there?" Lefiya.
"Well I can't say that myself as I am not a fan of dancing but I do assure that there is more than what we can think of," Kris.
"I think I kinda get the gist of that world now," Finn.
"yup , same here," Loki.
This place was a little closer to Bete's place. So this is where he saw her.
"A dancer?"
"Ya… and she is damn hot!"
Bete's face quickly redens which is totally new for the three friends. They just wanted to laugh their life outs but tried to put a lid on their uncontrollable urge of laughter. Soon they noticed a few girls exiting the building.
"Is that her?"
"I think it's her…"
Bell, Raul and Welf assumed who that girl was, but she didn't show up yet. Bete was a little worried as he thought he might miss the chance to see her again.
Just that moment, that girl exited with her friend. Bete completely was found dumbstruck in front of his friends, as the three poked out their heads from the corner, they could see a girl.
She had a tan and a nice body with an accurate sized chest. Her hair was long falling near her waist. In all she was perfect…
For a moment the audience were clueless to figure out who this girl that was specifically focussed on screen was, except Bell, Haruhime, Aisha and the former prostitutes of the pleasure quarters had a good guess of who that person was.
Soon enough Aiz, Tiona, Tione and Lefiya also guessed and finally came Bete who just blew out after seeing it.
"Is that," Bell pointed towards the girl on screen while his hand was a little shaky to even believe it.
"No way…" Haruhime gasped.
"Ara~ Ara~" Aisha just gave a smile.
"Phew I am beat," her companion said, " but this sure was fun."
"Ya, learning a new dance style and getting to know other forms, this makes my heart race," the girl replied back.
"So you gonna practice again Lena?"
"Probably, I will."
"As expected of a first class dancer…"
As the name got revealed, not a single damn person missed the chance to ooe the wolf who just sat in disbelief.
"Hey ain't that a prostitute?" one of the adventurers yelled out.
"Ah… Lena thought so!" Shamira said as she was laughing.
"What the Fu-" Bete in shock.
"Oh my, so Bete finally fell for me!" Lena couldn't contain her joy who quickly jumped towards Bete and hugged him like a body pillow.
"Fukin Amazon get away from me!"
"Aww… I won't ever," Lena said while she rubbed the werewolf. First of why isn't he even trying to get her off of him.
"OYE BLACK HAIR GET THIS AWAY FROM ME!"
Kris now raised his hand and made Lena float back to her seat, this time now tying her up.
"Sorry Lena-san but this is kind of an indecent act," Kris gave an apologetic smile.
Lena just bit her lip and sadly sat on her seat.
Both of them passed by without noticing the boys. After they left and disappeared from their eyesight, they relaxed themselves.
"So her name is Lena, well she is cute," Raul gave a smug to Bete.
"Ya honestly, you got a good eye for girls," Welf swung an arm around him.
The tease made him madder but embarrassed at the same time. Well it was over soon as Bete punched both of them knocking them out.
"Well… lets see how we can approach her," Bell just smiled sheepishly.
"I feel bad for Welf and Raul-san," Bell.
"Hm…"
"Is something wrong kami-sama?"
Hestia just hummed silently, as her children watched her she finally decided to ask Kris about Bell.
"Is it me or is Bell a little… mature in that world?"
"Well you can say a little, I mean he is a kind of person who never sits idle if he sees something wrong is happening. And he also helps others," Kris replied.
"Not so different from our Bell," Welf gave a big smile.
"Except maturity," Hestia added.
"I kinda fell a little low now," Bell.
"Because of his nature, a certain someone fell for him so badly that she would do anything for getting him," Kris.
Now Kris had done it, forget Bete who is going after their Bell now?!
Hestia and Lily looked frustrated and Haruhime just gave up. They wanted to know who that was but Kris said that they would know it soon.
They now know her name and especially her interest. But they were still unsure how Bete could approach her.
And so, the gang decided to meet the next day to think about it.
The screen now again views the clock of the school hitting 2:00pm. And the students exited the school gates except the gang who stayed back at the playground and were trying to dig out a method for Bete to approach the girl.
"Hmm… approaching her will be hard, especially Bete will be a complete idiot."
"True, he would just stutter and mess up."
"Grrr…. Don't you guys have any idea about landing a girl," Bete said out with frustration.
"Well… I don't think so," Bell scratched his hair, but for some reason, Welf and Raul scoffed at him. He noticed that.
"What was that for?"
"Don't talk, you already have landed a girl," Welf said with crossing arms.
"Eh… who?"
"Who else, it's our beloved honor student," Raul said with a glare.
"What… no.. na ah ah… never. As if in a million years!" Bell denied aligning the gesture. Ya he could never make the honor student of the school fall for him there is no way-
"What the? I never seen Welf like that," Bell said with a surprised look.
"Man I think my alternate is also jealous about you getting a girl, honours what?" Welf.
"Honour student," Kris.
"Just who is the woman?" Hestia gritted her teeth.
"Ah… Bell!"
A voice called him from afar, soon the person who called him reached up to him. That person was none other than Lefiya who was currently wearing her cheerleading outfit.
"There she comes…"
Raul and Welf mutely talked to themself, while Bete just stood stared at the rabbit.
"Ah… Lefiya!"
"W-what?"
Lefiya had no words at the time, she was surprised to see what she was wearing, making her embarrassed as her friends were complimenting her on how cute she looked in that outfit.
Not only friends but the adventurers (minus Freya familia) also complemented her other self. What made her lose it was when Bell also complemented her.
"Wow, Lefiya-san does look cute in that," Bell with a slight blush.
"Say what?" Hestia and Lily furiously stared daggers at him.
Lefiya just lost it as she was all red.
Soon the narrator (Ouranos's voice) introduces her : "This girl right here is Lefiya Virdis. Our school's pride honored student," the visual appears accordingly as the narrator tells about her, "She is the most hard working person of our school, she also maintained her place in our high school topper list. Well knowledged and a good athlete, her beauty makes every single male student fall for her. But for some unfortunate reason," Narrator pauses.
"What's up, are you not leaving for home?" she asked with a questioning face.
Narrator continues: "This girl has fallen for our school's no good rabbit boy, which is known to the whole school except him because of his dens mind."
Audience didn't care while a certain elfess just made funny noises as she heard the statement that won't and will not happen in fukin MILLION YEARS!
"Ah… well we were about to," Bell just gave her a chuckle.
"Oh I see, uhm well," Lefiya just tapped her index finger shyly and just averted her gaze towards the ground.
"Is there something I could help with?" Bell asked, as usual giving her a smile.
'Oh my I always want to live just to see that smile' she thought as she was feeling the heat rising up. She hesitated for a moment just to look at his smile but then asked him a favor.
Anonymous stares towards the rabbit at the moment making him sweat bullets while the elfess are out.
"Good thing that you two are getting along well in that universe," Aiz said with her good old plain face.
Lefiya just banged her head and finally asked Kris, "Aren't there any universes where we are total enemies!? I don't wanna end up with this scum of a human!"
"Lefiya language!" Riveria.
"Well there are universes, why are you so worked up at this Lefiya-san? This isn't even you," Kris.
"Still I HATE IT!"
"But you two do look like a cute couple," Kris grinned.
"NOT AT ALL!" Hestia and Lily jumped at Kris with an angry glare almost making him fall off his seat.
"Okay, I take that back!" Kris.
"Well… uhm my cheerleading practice is over so… I was just wondering if you could… um… give company to walk home with me?" she said it.
Though Bell did want to walk her home but for now he had to help his friend out. He gave an apologetic look and replied: "Well actually, not today Leifya, I… have some other work to do here."
"Oh is that so…" her shoulders dropped as she sighed from inside.
"By the way, what are you guys doing?"
"Well… you see―"
"Bell was worried about you."
"Eh?"
As Bell was about to explain, Welf jumps in and cuts him off with a wide grin.
"Worried about me?" Lefiya's cheek turns read hearing that, "but for what?"
"Well you are popular, so Bell thought that someone good looking might steal you away from him," He kept his grin as Bell sweated bullets.
Anonymous stares towards the smith now (all of them were female who knew it was his alternate who pushed this up) making him gallop and sweat.
"Bell… I don't feel safe for some reason…" Welf whispered to his friend.
Bell just quickly looked at him and just carried on watching the screen.
"NO I DIDN'T!" Bell burst out in embarrassment.
"I-Is that so… Bell?"
"Ah… uhm… Oh look at the time, come you three we gotta go! Bye Lefiya!"
With that said, he grabbed all three of them and dashed off towards the school gate. Lefiya, after seeing them leave, just cutely puffed her cheek and pouted.
"Bell, you idiot!"
"This won't work just like that Lefiya."
Tiona comes, wearing the same outfit and taps her shoulder, she continued: "Just be blunt and confess your feelings already."
"Ah… but I…"
"If you are not ready then don't bother try. Come on let's go."
"Y-... yes," again sighed in defeat.
"That was cute Lefiya, no joke," Tiona waved her hands as she teased her sister. Lefiya just puffed her cheeks out of embarrassment, ya this is not me.
The scene now shows the boys all gather round in the town's playground. Thinking and making strategies of how to make Bete get together with the girl named Lena. though they tried all the possible attempts but it seems it would be next to impossible for Bete to follow that thoroughly.
"Agh! This won't do good. You all have no other ideas?" Bete said with frustration.
Bell calmly responded: "Ah well, I guess you should at least try a little har―"
"I ALREADY DID WHAT Y'ALL SAID!"
"Eeek"
"Hey now, what is the point of yelling at us Bete? First off, we are trying to help a pal out and now you are yelling at us just like that? Just stay quiet for a moment," Welf said as he grabbed him and pulled back from Bell.
"This won't work I guess, but I think it might work if he sees it himself of what to do exactly." Raul suggested.
Yes visualisation is the best option as one can easily follow it rather than just depending on the word based statements. But the question is 'Who is going to demonstrate?'
"It would be effective if it's with a girl, and moreover it must be natural…"
Bell scratched his chin, as well Raul and Welf strained their mind to think of a person who could do that… then,
A lightning struck at the three, as they pointed towards each other and said: "HE MIGHT HELP!"
"Who?..."
Bete was left clueless, and then the screen quickly views the sky and then falls back down and views a small blonde boy who was surrounded by girls, storming around him.
"That is Finn, popular with girls?" Bete said with no surprise.
"My… even I am included?" Finn sweat dropped.
Many can sens the amount of anger leaking through the Loki compartment as a certain amazoness was pissed to see her beloved hanging out with other girls.
"Tione-san this is not your world Finn," Bell gained courage and told, she gave him a deathly glare which made him quickly lose eye contact.
"Well in advance, I gotta say that Finn in that world is completely different from your world," Kris.
"How so, may I know?" Finn.
"In that world you are a… playboy who just hooks up with any girls for fun," Kris replied.
"Well not our Finn so it's okay I guess," Gareth said while stroking his beard.
"Well ya, and more than that is he insists on helping Bell to be a player and Bell has no interest in becoming one," Kris said with a shrug.
"Good boy Bell," Hestia patted his hair.
"I am not a kid kami-sama," Bell sighed.
"Sir Finn! Can you join us in our game?"
"Finn mind having a taste of my cookies?"
"Sir Finn, can we go to the shop that was opened recently?"
As the boys saw the girls swarming the blonde boy who was none other than Finn, Bete scoffed as well Raul and Welf just gave a jealousy look meanwhile Bell just sweat dropped.
"Ah.. Bell, the guy perfectly fit to make a harem. Girls if you don't mind I need some private time."
"Yes sir Finn!"
And the girls left as he ordered them.
"You sure are popular Finn," Bell smiled at him, behind were the three who weren't even considered by Finn.
"So what brings you here?"
"Well I need your help," Bell replied as he scratches his back hair.
"Oh… so you finally decided to take the courage and get girls... Hm hm… I am ready to help! So who is it you want to get with?"
"A-Actually it's him."
Bell slowly points his index finger towards Bete for which Finn took it as a joke unless Bete was about to beat the crap out of him.
The three explained Bete's situation to Finn for which he could just sigh.
"Honestly… I don't think Bete will pull it off."
"We will see about that, for now can you give us some pointers to hit on girls?" Welf.
"Well I can but it's unpredictable," Finn.
"?"
"I mean everyone has their own way to express their feelings to the girl they like so… I really can't help but say this. Be honest with her, that's all."
"He is right though," Syr spoke up. "I mean nothing is wrong about his statement right?"
"Syr-nya, do you want the boy-nya to confess-"
*bam*
"NYAAAAA!"
Chloe screamed in pain while the waitress kept her plain look as it was.
"That's mew times in mew row meow." Chloe sobbed.
"Hmm… true though, I agree," Aki joined the discussion.
"Understanding a girl's heart is tough," Bell.
"Says who," Welf and Ouka in complete sync.
"Eh?" Bell paused with his eyes forming small dots.
Kris just sighed and said: "Are you watching now?"
"Ya… proceed."
Finn just ended and left the gang, ultimately he was of no help but he did help a little. The only thing was for Bete to observe and copy someone hitting on that girl.
Unfortunately Welf left for his personal work, now leaving both Bell and Raul under Bete's situation.
The scene now shows a small house with a stone engraved with the owner's name "Autumn Residence".
"... why do I have to do it?" Raul just wailed in defeat.
Among the two it was decided that Raul should give Bete a demo of hitting on the girl, so they made their way to another friend's house. Her name was Anakitty but she liked to be called Aki.
This person is friends with Bell and Raul but from middle school Raul has been crushing on her. Though he never got a chance to make a move on her so this was it.
"Well they are a thing here right?" one of the adventurers comments.
"Ya they must be after all they are a strong pair."
"No surprise."
The comments made Raul a little embarrassed while Aki just grinned and pushed it a little to embarrass him even more.
"Who knows right Raul," Aki said as her grin widened.
"A-AKI DON'T MAKE THINGS WORST!" Raul screamed.
"Enough pulling you two love birds just get with it already," Kris gave the finishing blow.
"KRIS-SAN YOU ARE NOT HELPING AT ALL!" Raul.
"Go on now Raul!" Bell and Bete cheered from behind.
As Raul made his way to the entrance and pressed the bell.
*ting*
"Coming!"
A voice replied back as it opened the door, Aki stood with regular clothes and her pink apron on.
"Oh, Raul! How did you end up here?"
"Ah… uhm… well…"
"Oh forget that, wanna try my cookies?"
"Uh…"
"I am a rookie though but wanna try it first hand?"
She smiled brightly to which he responded quickly.
"I WOULD LOVE TO TASTE THEM!"
"Good then come on in!"
As she said the two then entered the house. Raul probably forgot to notice Bell and Bete who were left with their eyes shrinking to two small dots with an expression of disbelief.
'He forgot the purpose!'
Everyone laughed at the situation (made both Raul and Aki a little embarrassed though they took it like nothing)
It's been 15mins since they left Aki's place. Bete just looked depressed and Bell couldn't help but feel for him. But no… it's not over yet…
"Bell… it's your turn now."
"Eh? But who do I go for?"
"The honour student who else?"
"WHAT!? NO… HELL NO!"
"PLEASE!" Bete grabbed the rabbit tightly, almost in tears, "you are the only one who I can rely on!"
Now this was it, he can't see Bete like that. He pushed him back and just sighed to his agreement.
"Well at least he knows how to plea," Tiona snickered again getting a smack from her sister. Bete this time just sat silently scoffing at his alternate to show his pathetic side.
The scene now shows another house with the stone engraved with owner's name "Virdis Residence"
This was where the honor student Lefiya lived. Before going in Bell lightly explain of how to approach (in his way)
"Bete first keep this in mind, better listen to this carefully."
"Hmm.."
"First walk up to her, introduce yourself to her."
"Hm hm…"
"Then ask her to be your friend."
"Hmmm…"
He replied but seemed even more confused, and for Bell he understood that Bete didn't get a single thing.
"Okay, watch me."
As he made his way to the doorbell, Bete also tagged along with him for a close observation.
As the bell rang, Lefiya opened the door which took her by surprise to see Bell standing a little stiffer than he usually does.
"Hello Lefiya, my name is Bell."
"I… I know who you are Bell."
"It's the first time we are meeting properly."
"But we have already met a number of times."
He turns his head to Bete, "see…"
"Ohhh…" Bete replied back, surprised to see the rabbit's confidence.
"Is there something you want Bell?"
"About that, will you be my friend Lefiya?"
"We are already friends."
"See that again?" Bell again turned to Bete who just opened his mouth in surprise, it was that easy?
"Well if you got nothing then I am leaving."
Lefiya felt a little irritated by the fact and she decided to get inside but Bell continued with the act.
"Lefiya wait!"
"What?"
"You are the most beautiful girl I have seen in my entire life."
"Oh… Is that so," her cheeks burned up in the complement causing her to grab her cheeks with both palms but that soon ended with Bell's next comment for Bete.
"You can lie a little like that too."
"SAY WHAT!?"
"Bell that's rude," Welf.
"Agreed," Hestia familia.
And for some reason Lefiya really didn't like what Bell's alternative said to her.
"I see, this is simple…"
"ARg! Bell that's it I am going!"
Lefiya got mad at this, Bete started to worry what if things turned out like that for him too but good grief Bell decided to go bold.
"Lefiya! Wait!"
He quickly pulled her and pushed her towards the wall and slammed his hands on either side, his face almost close to hers.
Lefiya unable to process what was going on was feeling super lightheaded.
"B-B-BELL?!"
"Please don't get mad, please be my friend!"
"W-W-W-WE ARE FRIENDS A-A-ALREADY!"
"TOO CLOSE!"
"WHOA… now that's bold Bell," Welf whistled.
"UAAAAAA!" Bell paled out.
"THAT PERVERT SCUM!" Lefiya screamed.
"Hm…" Aiz just narrowed her eyes towards Bell's alternative, he had never been that bold in front of me when I gave him lap pillows. She pouted at the projection and mutely said: "Bell… idiot rabbit…"
After that Bete felt a little bit confident to move out and try what Bell did. Tough it took Bell a few seconds to get back as he started to blush madly cus he was almost close to Lefiya's lips.
He quickly pushed back and fell on ground, Lefiya also breathed to gain some air. Soon after Bell explained everything to Lefiya.
"Oh… so you guys did this for Bete."
"Ya… I am sorry if it was inappropriate."
"N-no it's fine…"
"Oh, thank goodness then."
"So, you just made those up?"
"Made what?"
"I mean, you said that I am beautiful. You were really lying about that?"
"NO! I MEAN YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL THAN ANY GIRL I EVER MET! REALLY!"
"Eh!"
His reply was quick that took her a little late to process, at the same time the rabbit had no idea what he bluffed.
"Why does things work out for you Bell?" Welf this time got annoyed by Bell's alternate who was lucky as hell.
Bell couldn't help but smile sheepishly whilst there were multiple stares pointing at him making him more uncomfortable.
"Uh…. W-W-Well let's forget about that… I hope things work out for Bete."
"Hm… I too wish for it to workout."
The scene now shows the setting sun along with Bete who was just murmuring of what Bell did back there. His nerves were completely wrecked, mind completely lost and his heart running a marathon over 100 laps.
But it was him who had to step up, to get her to be friends with him. As he walked through the street that leads to his house he heard some noises coming across the street.
He decided to go and check what was going on. As he made his way, he peeked from the corner and was surprised to find Lena who was ambushed by two older guys (which turned out to be Mord and his friend).
"What the? Why are we the bad men here?" Mord complained.
"Just deal with it for now," Kris.
"What do you say girl, wanna hit at my place?" Mord said with a grin followed by his friend to his opposite side blocking the girl's path.
"I said leave me alone!" Lena became furious and yelled out in an attempt so that someone could hear them.
Bete just watched them getting more pushy towards Lena which ticked him off. He decided to confront those two rough men.
"Hey, back off from that girl."
"Huhh? Who the hell are you?"
"Get away from her, she clearly has no interest in hanging out with you."
"Kid better not meddle in our matter."
The other person makes his way towards Bete, readying his fist to hit him but Bete wasn't scared at all instead he kicked mord's companion directly on his weak point (hittin hard on balls hell yeah!) causing him to wail in pain.
Mord on seeing this dashed to punch him, bete calmly moved away and kept his foot which made the big guy trip and fall.
"Why you!"
Mord stood up and then after few seconds dusts start to form on the area as the two fought like wild animals (I mean literally like two street dogs)
As the dust cleared up, Bete stood still with dust all over him meanwhile Mord was down, and this the bully was successfully able to scare them away.
"What the actual hell? He is stronger than us?" Mord as well as all the adult adventurers were now scared of the vanargand, this did make the wolf give his alternate a confident smirk.
"Well he didn't become a pussy back there," Bete said to himself mutely.
"Uhm… thank you very much for helping me."
"Oh... well it was nothing much…"
An Awkward silence for damn 2 mins (here in Bete's mind Bell was like : "Just talk already Dammit!")
"I- I am Bete by the way."
"Oh… my name is Lena. thanks for saving me from those guys Mr. Bete."
Bete was too nervous (I mean hella nervous to even notice a light pink blush on the girls face)
"Uhm… well…."
Again Bell inside his mind : "TALK DUMBASS BE A MAN!"
"Can we be…"
"Uh… excuse me I have to go home urgently."
"W-wait!"
Bete held onto Lena's hand who got surprised as he pushed her towards the wall and did what Bell did (to be exact this dumbass overdid the stuff due to nerve wrecked moment)
"PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!"
"WHAA―"
At this moment, he completely blurted out the wrong statement. Because of this Lena yelled out a big NO to his proposal and ran away with a pink face making Bete stand still after giving him an incurable shock of his life.
His body was all whited out as the pencil lines to make a shadow of sorrow being ( IDK how to explain the damn part consider a comical type of art in anime when someone is depressed or whited out, again bear with me ^^' )
"..."
A moment of silence in the theater as the audience, mostly Loki familia facepalmed at what that idiot wolf did.
"Wasn't that supposed to be 'Please be my friend?'" Misha broke the silence.
"He messed up real good," Welf sighed.
"My alternate's efforts were all to dust?" Bell.
"What the? ASS!" Bete screamed inside his mind, wait a minute I don't even care about being with that annoying amazoness. Ya why do I care?
"Bell-kun's hard work," Hestia.
"Went to waste," Eina sighed.
"Yup he blew it up alright," Raul.
"Well, in advance to Bell's alternate, rest in peace!" Kris announced making Hestia Familia and Bell himself worried sick.
"W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!?" Bell asked as he was terrified by the statement.
Kris pointed towards the screen.
The screen now shows a new day at school but…
Most of the students of class were standing outside the classroom, looking terrified as if they saw a monster.
Bell enters the corridor with Welf and Raul, the three get surprised as to why everyone is out of the classroom.
Today was the board meet so all the staff went to attend and the meet probably would take half an hour so students were left free.
Lefiya noticed Bell and came closer to him with a worried expression whilst Welf and Raul entered the classroom. (Biggest mistake of their life)
Welf and Raul just sweat-dropped for no good reason. Loki felt what might come now so she already announced it.
"Yup itty-bity's child is de'd," Loki.
"Say what? Why?" Hestia screamed.
"Lefiya what is going on?"
"Bell it's better if you stay somewhere else before the staff return."
"Why?"
"W-Well it's because Bete is⎯"
*BAM*
As the loud thud gained the attention of those two, Bell was terrified to see Welf and Raul, completely fainted. What's worse he saw an angry beast emerging from the room with a scary face.
"B-E-L-L…"
"EEEK!"
Everyone (even Bete himself) had themselves get scared the crap out of their life as they saw Bete's alternate in complete carnage mode.
"This is what I meant to say," Kris said with an expressionless face.
"AHHHH! DO SOMETHING!" Bell panicked.
"I can't," Kris replied bluntly.
Bell's inner soul already gave itself away as his body felt chills. He paled out and a small squeal escaped from his open mouth.
"Bete~? W-What's wrong?"
"E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G… YOU FUKING RABBIT!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
With that, the human chased the rabbit all ready to kill and eat him up. Bell cried as he ran from Bete.
Lefiya who just stood worried about Bell, please be safe…
The two ran around the whole building, Bell running to save his dear life while Bete running to just eat the damn rabbit alive.
Since they were in complete opposite directions of the board meeting, there is no way any staff is gonna notice them.
"WHAT HAPPENED? WHY ARE YOU COMING FOR BE BETE!?"
"YOU RUINED IT! EVERYTHING! SHE REJECTED ME!"
"WHAT?"
"She said she doesn't want to go out with me!"
Wait a minute… go out?
"I TOLD YOU TO ASK HER BE YOUR FRIEND NOT TO ASK HER OUT YOU DUMBASS!"
"I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"Ya it's his fault not Argonaut-kun's fault!" Tiona just complained, staring at the wolf of their world.
"Well his problem is that he blames others for his own mistakes," Kris explained.
"Isn't that bad?" Eina.
"Will I survive?" Bell.
"Don't sweat, you will live to see another day," Kris tapped Bell's shoulder and assured him.
Now they are shown running on the playground. Bell's weak body had it as he broke down due to exhaustion and was caught by bete.
"Eek!"
"This is for ruining my life!"
He made a strong fist, ready to pound the life out of him. Bell already broke out in tears, everyone who looked at the rabbit pitied for him though not knowing for what reason he was being hunted.
Now Bete was about to pound him to death but was stopped by someone as the person held his wrist tightly. As he turned around the person who stopped him was none other than Aisha.
"Aisha-senpai!" Bell got relieved to see his senior.
"What the? Let go!"
"You let go of my precious underclassman."
"Tch!"
Bete obeyed her order, why won't he. He had already gotten humiliated and beaten by this woman.
"Ah Aisha-san thankyou very much and… Senpai?" Bell.
"Senpai as in she is your senior," Kris.
"Well whatever she saved me!" Bell with tears of joy.
"Well I came to his rescue, I expected him to handle it but guess world difference does matters," Aisha.
"And your alternate beat him once too," Haruhime smiled and clapped.
"Tch…" Bete silently growled.
Bell clung on to Aisha as he cried his heart out, thanking her to save him from his death.
"Now now man up already… and you," she glanced at Bete, "she wants to talk to you."
As she pointed her finger towards a certain direction, both Bell and Bete were shocked to see who that person was, it was Lena in their school uniform.
Bete just stopped (both in track and time) his face reddened to see her in the same state as he is. Bell gave a confusing look to Aisha who decided to drag him out with her to give the two some private time.
"Oh… a twist," Tsubaki with her enthusiasm.
"Let's see then!" Welf.
After distancing themselves from Bete and Lena, Aisha explained everything to Bell which left his reaction priceless.
"What for real?"
"Yup it is how it is. She liked him too."
"Boy never in my wildest dreams I could believe this…"
"Well, leave it to that. When are you gonna man up? At this rate you won't be able to protect a lady."
"Please spare me on that," he smiled back sheepishly. This again raises another question to him.
"Why did she reject him then?"
"It's because he asked her out, not to be friends… and it's just weird to be going out with the person who is complete stranger."
"Oh… I see."
Now the scene shows the two shy couple who just had gotten over the simple misunderstanding.
"So… you really don't hate me?"
"No… I was just surprised…"
"Uhm… so what now?"
"Let's... let's just start by being f-friends, okay?"
She gave her hand expecting a friendly handshake, Bete gave her a hand too, the two blushed slightly out of embarrassment.
"Kay… friends…"
From afar Bell and Aisha saw the view.
"Ah… all's well and so end's well."
"But not too well for your friends who just got themselves almost killed by him."
"Oh I totally forgot about them! I have to hurry back."
As he runs back to his class the screen blanks off.
"Well… how was that?" Kris.
"Just like Bell said, all's well end's well," Hermes replied back.
"Well that was fun, I hope my alternate really did try to get strong," Bell too replied with a slight hope to get a positive answer.
"Worry not Bell, your alternate did put some effort cus he got rivals who were easily able to steal Lefiya from you," Kris just replied to the rabbit's question with his malicious grin making both the rabbit and elf fluster.
"AS IF I WOULD FALL FOR THAT SCUM! NOT IN MILLION YEARS!" Lefiya.
"I don't even expect that to happen honestly." Bell
"Haha!" Kris
"Well, I do expect you to man up Bell cranel," Aisha
"I will try my best Aisha-san," Bell.
"Ahh… now only if he accepts my feelings in this world," Lena.
"Not in a million years I would end up with the likes of you!" Bete.
"Bete that's way too rude!" Riveria.
"And ya stop using Lefiya-san's catchphrase as it only belongs to her," Kris giggled.
"IT'S NOT MY CATCHPHRASE KRIS!" Lefiya
"Well kris, show us more." Hermes.
"Well okay then I will move on."
