Back in his room, Bell finally reflected on what happened. Could this really have happened? His goddess fed him dessert and they shared spoons! OMG!

Nevertheless, he had a long day tomorrow as it would be his first day in the dungeon. So he had to control himself and get ready. After much struggling, he fell asleep.

The next morning, Bell went down to the dining room for an early breakfast. His goddess and Lord Ottar were not there, so he ate by himself. He did noticed a lot of people were staring at him. And those did not seem like friendly stares.

In particular, there was a cat person who looked at Bell with disdain. There were also a few pallums who were giving him the evil eye. What was going on.

Pallum 1 "What a worthless weakling, what is he even doing here"

Pallum 2 "I heard he was rejected but Ottar went and fetched him later"

Pallum 3 "I don't think he is here for adventuring. The goddess probably wanted a teddy bear to play with every night"

Pallum 2 "I bet you he will not last a day in the dungeon."

Pallum 4 "He is too precious to go in the dungeon"

Pallum 1 laughed "The goddess will probably have Ottar guard her little boy-toy"

Precious! BOY-TOY! That was too much for Bell. The discussion was vile, and he knew he was nothing compared to these adventurers. However the discussion continued to be really mean.

Pallum 2 "How much you want to bet that he dies after 1 week?"

Pallum 4 "I rather bet whether he goes into the dungeon or not. Looks like he will cry if a monster comes at him"

Pallum 1 laughed "I bet he will wet his pants with the first goblin. May be we can pants him and see whether he is wearing diapers"

The 4 pallums ROTFLOL while humiliating Bell, who they knew could hear them. This was making Bell furious but he did not want to cause trouble. However he lost his appetite so he left. Unfortunately, the 4 pallums noticed this and carefully tailed him.

As Bell left the Freya complex, the 4 pallums followed him while keeping a good distance away. After passing through the busy entertainment district, they started running after Bell, who ran for his life. Even though Bell ran faster than he ever ran in his life, they eventually caught up to him.
