Part 9 here we are. Future chapters might possibly be shorter but who knows.

Also the teaser for Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon? season 4 came out. What are your guys thoughts?

Now then for reviews. MarcoSketcher has to say…..

Then, by the grace of alcohol, Bete and Lili had a child. I thought so.

What I didn't expect was that within the story no one discovered that Lili was pregnant. What she had to do to protect the baby while carrying it was a lot and she had it the same day the Xenos arrived.

Interestingly enough, Bell and Hestia discovered another way to hide the pregnancy.

Now both Bete and Lili decide to be responsible with the child and this will allow them to get closer. It will be interesting.

And now Hermes makes his entrance. What will happen next? That I want to see, but it's going to be a long night, there's no doubt about it.

Indeed. Wonder how the Hestia Familia will get out of this one. Next up is a newcomer, jackmorsone.

Let's be strait here, I HATE HERMES.

I binged the story today, and I must say it is good. What with them taking responsibility for having a child. Even though only humans and amazons can have children with races other than these two races. Yes, any race cane have three potenial races to have children with. Namely thier own race, humans as in half humans and half whatever the other race is and lastly amazons which always gives a pureblooded amazoness. BUT WHO CARES? This could an AU for all intentions and purposes, and I approve of opening to the idea of every race being capable of having children with any partner of thier chosing regardless of race. I repeat that this is better than what was canon about interracial relations.

Continue the good work. Hope to see more of it, especially how the rabbit and loli-big-boobs deal with the world-wide shock when everyone eventually finds out.

Thank you very much. But this is not an AU by any means. And I don't know if everyone is going to find out during Hestia's pregnancy.

Now then, enjoy.

Hestia stood there completely frozen. Hearing the words Hermes had just told her. She had a feeling that she knew what he was talking about. But she hoped to everything that it wasn't.

So Hestia attempted to lie as she stepped back.

"Hiding something?! You're out of your mind Hermes!" Hestia yelled. "And I never said you could come into my home!! So get out!!"

"Hestia I assure you, I'm being serious." Hermes smirked. "Why don't we just sit down and have a chat?"

"No! Leave right now! We're about to have dinner!" Hestia yelled again as she stepped back again. Not wanting anything to do with Hermes.

"Then how about we join you?" Hermes asked as he adjusted his hat. "I brought Aisha with me."

That's when Aisha walked into the room. As she waved. "Hey."

"W-why'd you bring her here?!" Hestia exclaimed. "W-we can't have any visitors right now!"

"We saw that werewolf from the Loki Familia take his leave." Hermes simply stated as Hestia's eyes widened and her mouth opened.

The goddess then tried to explain. But she couldn't come up with a good excuse.

"L-listen!! That was something important, it's getting late so you need to leave!" Hestia exclaimed glaring right into the messenger God's eyes.

"Goddess Hestia? What is with the yelling?" Asked a voice as Bell came into the room wondering what all of the yelling was about.

"Well, Bell's already here." Hermes smiled as Bell looked surprised at Hermes' arrival.

"Lord Hermes? What are you dining here?" Bell asked as he bowed to Hermes. "I-I mean it is great to see you!"

"No need for formalities Bell." Hermes assured him as Bell stood back up.

"Well well well. If it isn't the little rookie." Aisha smirked as she put her hand under Bell's chin. Causing him to blush. "I haven't seen you since that little incident."

Bell just simply stuttered as he didn't say anything. While Aisha brought his face closer to hers.

"I hope you've been taking care of Haruhime." Aisha whispered to him.

"Well speak of the devil." Hermes stated as Haruhime came into the room.

"Master Bell, Goddess Hestia, dinner is re-Aisha? What are you doing here?" Haruhime asked in curiosity.

"Oh. Hello Haruhime." Aisha smiled as she turned her attention to her former Familia member. Dammit Ishtar.

"Um. Hello, what brings you and Lord Hermes here?" Haruhime asked again.

"We we're all just about to have dinner. Besides, there's a discussion that I need to have with Hestia here and Bell." Hermes said. "It's quite private though. So I will leave you all to attend. Bell, Hestia."

Bell and Hestia looked at each other. As Hestia sighed and they both nodded.

"Alright, fine, whatever." Hestia told him. Just go to the living room and we'll talk."

"Alright then. Don't worry I'll be sure not to do anything hasty." Hermes assured them as he walked to the living room while putting his hands behind his head.

"I'll…I'll go get Welf and the others." Haruhime said. "We'll wait for-"

"No need Haruhime. Just go ahead without us." Bell told her with a smile. "We wouldn't want you all to miss dinner because of us."

Haruhime nodded. "Alright then, thank you Master Bell." Haruhime bowed as she then turned to Aisha. "Aisha, would you like to join us?"

"Sure, I've got time to eat." Aisha shrugged as she followed Haruhime to the dining room.

Bell smiled as the two left, he then turned to Hestia, only to have Hestia pulled Bell down to her height by grabbing his collar.

"Oh! G-goddess Hestia?" Bell asked. "What is this about?"

"Bell, I think Hermes knows our secret." Hestia whispered. As Bell's eyes widened and worry ran across his body.

"W-what?! How?!" Bell asked.

"I don't know!!" Hestia whispered in worry. "But I feel like he won't tell anyone. But I don't trust him."

"There's nothing we can really do besides admit it." Bell nodded. "Alright, if we try to lie then he'll know. So I think we should just be completely honest with whatever he asks."

"As much as I want to disagree, you're right Bell. We've got no other choice." Hestia sighed as she adjusted her dress.

"Right." Bell nodded as he then hugged Hestia. "Don't worry, I'll be with you the whole time."

"Ohhh. I love you Bell!" Hestia smiled as she felt better knowing that Bell would be with her the whole time.

"Alright, we'd better not keep Lord Hermes waiting." Bell told her as they broke up the hug. And the walked to the living room together.

Holding hands.

Folkvangr……

It was still night. And In Freya's bedroom, the naked goddess lied on top of the body of her nude captain. Both almost asleep.

"Oh Ottar…..you have satisfied me." Freya smiled as she put her finger on is cheek. "Now I know why I made you captain."

"Lady Freya, I…I don't think I can fix your broken heart. As much as I wish to." Ottar stated. "But…I will do anything in order to make you feel perfect again."

"I already feel that way, my dear Ottar." Freya chuckled. "Now then, I believe an heir is in place."

"An heir?" Ottar asked. "I apologize my goddess. But I don't believe it's possible. You are a goddess."

"I know Ottar. But we'll see." Freya let out a sigh of relief as she lied on top of Ottar's chest more. Stroking his body with her finger.

Freya then thought. "I will show Hestia, I will create an heir, and if I succeed. That heir will her child's rival. For as long as she lives."

Freya then yawned as she pulled the covers up on her and Ottar. Both falling asleep.

Knock knock knock*

"Hello? Goddess Freya? Ottar? Are you both alright in there?" Anya asked as she politely knocked on the door. "Hm, no response."

Anya then put her hand on the door knob, but the knob wouldn't budge.

"Hmm. That's weird." Anya thought. "Oh well, maybe they're tired. Goodnight." She then walked away.

Little did she know what she would've seen if the door was unlocked.

Hestia Familia……

Both Hestia and Bell sat next to each other in the living room. As Hermes sat on the couch across from them.

It had been completely silent for the past few minutes. As Hermes just smiled at the two, while Bell and Hestia just sat, saying nothing.

Hermes adjusted his hat. "Alright then, I will cut to the chase." He stated as his smile faded into a serious expression. "I know that you're pregnant."

Hestia gulped as both she and Bell froze completely. "I knew it!!!" Hestia thought in worry.

"But do not worry." He stated. "I have no intention of telling anyone else. Only I, Aisha, and Asfi know." That slightly eased both Bell and Hestia causing them to let huge sighs of relief.

"Oh gods. I was so worried." Hestia said. "But wait? What's your game Hermes?" She pointed at him.

"No game. I just came to say that I will still protect Bell." He told in honesty. "But, that I will also protect Hestia and your child."

Hestia gawked as she and Bell looked at each other.

"I won't say a word to anyone else at all." Hermes said as he took his hat off and flipped it into the air. and then caught it in his hand. "I know that your Familia already knows, but I know that you want this to be a secret from other people."

"Th-thank you Lord Hermes!" Bell exclaimed as he bowed.

"There is no need for thanks Bell." Hermes smiled.

"Right we'll. Thanks Hermes." Hestia pouted as she didn't want to thank him. But he was being generous so she thought she'd have no choice. "Now get out."

"Hold on Hestia. There's something else." He said, implying that he wasn't done with speaking to the goddess and the white rabbit. "I'd like to ask something."

Bell nodded as he sat back down.

"How did this predicament exactly happen?" Hermes asked. "How exactly was that child conceived? As I'm sure you both are aware, Goddesses cannot bear children. So how exactly did this happen?"

Bell and Hestia looked at each other, then at Hestia's bump, and then back at Hermes.

"Well…it's kind of hard to remember because…" Bell was then interrupted by Hestia.

"Because we were both drunk." Hestia admitted as Bell blushed.

"G-goddess Hestia!" Bell exclaimed.

"Yes. That's a summary." Hermes nodded. "But what exactly happened?"

"Well….I think I remember…it was something.. like this." Hestia began her story.

Hostess of Fertility….2 months ago…

It was a starry night in Orario, and it was quite the busy night in the Hostess of Fertility. As many people in the tavern were feasting or drinking.

The Hestia Familia had finished a challenging floor in the dungeon that day. So they were celebrating.

The Loki Familia was their too and yep. Loki was drunk and trying to touch Ais. Luckily Ais kept pushing Loki away, as Loki complained.

But strangely Lili had said that she wished to leave early. Something about being around so much alcohol has made her feel unsafe. At the time no one knew why.

"Oh Bell!! You did such a great job today!" Hestia laughed as she hugged Bell.

"Th-thanks Goddess Hestia." Bell gave a small laugh. As Hestia shook him with her arms around her.

"Hm. I think she's drunk." Welf said as he noticed how Hestia's feels we're blushing red. And that there was a bit of drool coming out her mouth.

"I think you're right. We should probably get home soon." Bell gave an embarrassed smile.

"Right. I'll be right back." Welf said as he stood up and walked out.

"Here." Bell looked to see that Ryuu had set a mug down on the table.

"Oh! Miss Ryuu thank you. But I didn't order anything." Bell admitted. "Or bill was already payed."

"It is on the house. Goodnight Master Cranel." Ryuu bowed before she walked away.

Bell walked Ryuu walk away as he picked up the drink and looked at it.

"Hmm. This doesn't look like water." Bell thought, as he then put the drink to his lips and took a small sip.

Bell's eyes widened as she sat the mug down.

"I…IT'S ALCOHOL!" He thought. Looking into the mug. Seeing the contents of the drink inside of it. "I've…I've never had alcohol before."

Bell then looked around as he noticed that no one else was at the table with him aside from Hestia.

He also noticed that many adventurers had begun to leave.

Bell glanced inside the mug, as he thought to himself. "Well…….it doesn't taste that bad."

Bell looked around again to make sure no one was looking. Before he took a huge swig of the drink, and set it down.

Bell's cheeks started to blush red. "Wow, that's…really good. I might as well finished it."

Unfortunately as it was his first time, Bell was already feeling drunk. Never had a sip of alcohol before then.

So Bell finished the rest of the mug as he stood up. He felt dizzy and hot.

Looks like the little white rabbit was intoxicated.

"Huh? Oh Bell?" Hestia giggled as the two stood up. "Are…you drunk?"

"I…I think…so…but you seem like it….to.." Bell smiled. As the two began to walk out. Both drunk and intoxicated.

Two adventurers having a laugh together sat near a table as they watched the two leave the tavern.

"Hey Paul?"

"What Kabuto?"

"You think those two are drunk?"

"Who knows?"

"Hahahahaha!!" The two laughed together.

Hearthfire Mansion….Bell's room…..

Both Hestia and Bell stumbled into Bell's room, as the goddess lied on Bell's bed. She began to take her gloves off and undo the string that tied her small dress.

Hestia turned around to see Bell without his armor on. As he had taken off the upper half as his abs were exposed.

"Ohhh…Bell…I love it when you take your shirt off…" Hestia giggled taking her dress off all the way.

"G-Goddess Hestia…calm down.."

"Oh what?" Hestia asked. "Don't wanna show me the rest? Unbuckle those pants big boy…"

And so Bell unbuckled his belt as his pants fell right the the floor.

"Alright….then I…this is…Ohh.."

"Bellll….I want you to-"

Present time….

"Alright!" Bell exclaimed as he interrupted Hestia and put his hands out. Blushing madly. "I don't think we need to say the rest!"

"Hm. So it sounds." Hermes then stood up. "Alright then, I'm satisfied. I'll be taking my leave with Aisha. Goodnight you two."

As Hermes walked away. Bell and Hestia looked at each other.

Both of them sighed.

"Sorry Bell, but I had to be honest." Hestia shrugged.

"There's no need to apologize Goddess Hestia. You did nothing wrong." Bell sighed. "It'll be alright."

Hestia gave a nod. "Right, now let's go eat. I'm starving!"

Later that night……

Hestia was sitting on her and Bell's bed. Her hair ties were off. As she sat down, thinking about the day.

As Bell came into the room ready for bed.

"Hey Bell." Hestia said in a quiet tone as Bell sat next to Hestia on the bed.

"Hello Goddess Hestia." Bell smiled. As he noticed how Hestia seemed a bit concerned about something. "Is something wrong?"

"Bell, you…you won't leave me when our child is born…will you?" Hestia asked as Bell seemed surprised at the goddess' question.

"Of course not!" Bell exclaimed. "Why would I do that?"

"Well….when Bete got Lili pregnant. She kept it hidden from everyone, and then she left her child with Bete." Hestia explained. "She…left her child with Bete."

"Goddess Hestia!" Bell exclaimed. "That was under different circumstances for those two, I would never leave you!!! I swear that I never would."

Hestia then looked into Bell's eyes. "Hell, do you know the story of Odysseus? And his journey?"

Bell nodded. "Yes, my grandfather told me that story."

"Odysseus' wife Penelope had a baby. Before he went on a journey to Troy. He needed to defeat the Trojans. And so he went on a ten year long journey." Hestia told Bell. "After he and his men defeated Troy. He journeyed home. But it took him ten more years. He lost all of his men, encountered monsters like the Cyclops Polyphemus, and Scylla. He gained knowledge from the Goddess Circe and the prophet Telias of the underworld. Then he was held captive by the Nymph Calypso for seven years."

"Yes. But Odysseus reunites with his wife at the end. Isn't that true?" Bell asked.

"Yes! But what if you ever go on a journey, or a long quest in the dungeon. Then you never return?" Hestia asked as she thought she was going to cry. As tears fell from her eyes.

"Goddess Hestia." Bell stated as he wiped a tear off of her face. "Mark my words, I will never, leave you, I will be with you until the day I die. And I will make sure that I only die by age!"

Hearing Bell's words gave Hestia a feeling. A feeling of care, and assurance. As she hugged Bell so tightly.

"Oh Bell. Thank you so much, for everything." Hestia cried into his chest as Bell caressed her back.

"Do not worry. I will always care about you." He smiled. As the two broke apart their hug.

That's when Hestia brought Bell's face closer to him and she kissed him on the cheek. As Bell blushed.

It felt warm, caring, and happy. As Hestia broke apart the kiss and smiled.

"Goodnight Bell." Hestia said as she lied back and closed her eyes.

As the lights had turned off, Bell looked at the sleepy goddess.

As he then put his hand on her little belly.

"I'll never leave you Goddess Hestia. And I'll never leave you."

Wow!! I pretty much write most of this today!! Hope you all enjoyed!! Have a great day!
