Chrysalis

Bell worked really hard with different deities and the guild to find homes for the barbelas. That really impressed the barbelas, who knew they were in the wrong kidnapping him in the first place. With Ishtar back in heaven, they were powerless without their falna. But yet he continued to try to help them while getting nothing in return.

Aisha was particularly impressed and it turned out that she was close to Haruhime. Thus the two went to Bell. Haruhime thanked Bell with tears in her eyes.

Teary Haruhime "Bell sama, we are really appreciative of what you are doing. Thank you for saving me and all the barbelas"

Aisha in tears "Bell, I am so glad there is someone like you in the Freya familia who would protect Haruhime. I want to apologize for leading the kidnapping mission. I am so so incredibly sorry."

Bell "That is fine. I hope everything will work out for everyone."

Haruhime and Aisha wanted to help Bell. Hearing his stomach make a loud sound, everyone laughed and knew he was starving. Asking Bell what he wanted to eat, Bell suggested the Hostess. Realizing these girls had lost everything in the attack and the burning of the entertainment district, Bell borrowed some money from Ais so Haruhime and Aisha could bring back take-out from the Hostess.

After Haruhime and Aisha left, Bell noticed Ais did not look right at all. He then realized he had mostly ignored his unofficial girlfriend when she came to save him, and she looked like she was very pained by the events. Thus he suddenly gave her a long hug and said thank you, shocking everyone there. The hug was magical, as Ais teared up and her anger calmed down. Realizing that Ais was starting to get better, he pulled her down to give her a lap pillow in front of the entire crowd. Despite the huge embarrassment, not only did Ais not resist, she welcomed the comfort of Bell's lap. After a few minutes, it completely wiped out her remaining anger, especially after he started stroking her hair like she did with him before.

No one had ever seen the 1st class sword princess treated in such a way before, but it was clearly helping and it made her happy. Mini-Ais was literally rolling on the floor in celebration. Finn, Riveria and the rest of the Loki familia were relieved to see Ais returning to her normal self as even Bete was scared when Ais went into killer mode. The junior Freya members also watched the lap pillow and realized Bell was the real hero. Lili, Welf, Mikoto and Ouka, who came to the entertainment district after the Freya attack, realized that Bell had taken command of the entire situation. The large group of barbelas also watched Bell calm the angry princess and knew that he had totally assumed control. It was as if Bell was doing what he was meant to do.

After Ais was feeling better, Finn and Gareth returned to the twilight manor to report to Loki while Riveria stayed there to be supportive. As they were heading out, Haruhime and Aisha came back with the food. Following them were Syr and Ryuu who came to check on Bell. Syr, Ryuu and other waitresses from the Hostess also brought large amounts of food for the large group, which had not had much since breakfast. During their meal, Lefiya arrived and was happy to see her sisters. She was apparently ordered to stay at the Twilight Manor by Loki during the battle, but finally allowed to go to check on Ais when Finn and Gareth returned. She was also shocked to see Bell running the whole show and her idol sister by his side as his princess.

With the situation greatly improved, Bell focused on working out what to do with the barbelas. Eina also arrived. Seeing what was happening, she became really impressed with the young one who just turned level 2, and starting feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

Hermes and Asfi soon showed up and agreed to accept Aisha. Many additional gods also came by as coordinated by Eina and the guild. By the end, all the barbelas who wanted to be in a familia were given falnas on the spot. Those who did not want a falna included completely traumatized Phryne, even after she was treated with multiple potions.

The entire disaster, which could have been a slaughter of unprecedented proportions, had been mitigated thanks mostly to the white hair boy. Afterwards, Bell and Ais decided to go for dessert at the Hostess, and were followed by a large group consisting of Tiona, Tione, Bete, Lefiya, Riveria, the Freya members, Welf, Lili,Ouka, Mikoto, Haruhime and Aisha. On their way there, Bell held hands with Ais on the walk there. He was no longer going to hide their close relationship in public. Thus, after the war, the big news in Orario would be the inter-familial relationship between the Sword Princess and the new record holder.

After the sweets, Bell walked Ais back to the Twilight Familia along with Riveria, Bete and the twins, Haruhime and the Freya members. When they got to the gate, he gave Ais a hug, a thank you and a kiss good night on the lips despite the company. Bell then returned to his home with Haruhime and the Freya members.

After Haruhime got her room and settled down, Bell knocked on his goddess' door. After going inside, he did another dogeza and thanked Freya. Freya sat down on the floor and happily gave him a lap pillow which helped remove her fury from the day. Before going back to his room, Bell gave Freya a long hug, a kiss on the cheek and a thank you, which shocked Freya but gave her a feeling she had never felt before. After Bell left, Freya smiled to herself realizing Bell had become assertive. This may be the 'true calling' of Bell's pure clear soul. At the same time, she also knew that it would be difficult for her to say no to anything he asked. That made her positively giddy...
