After the funeral services, Loki sent Ais and Tiona to search for Bete.
At the training facility, Ottar and Freya continued to manage the training of Haruhime, Welf and Lili.
At the city wall, Bell trained with Tione for the day while Ais and Tiona searching for Bete. With Bell having taken a significant leap in stats after the mission, the training got even tougher. Still, with her advantages over Bell, Tione gave Bell many lap pillows, which was quite embarrassing given his view of her assets when he woke up. Nevertheless, Bell's improvements were obvious as he hit Tione quite a few times. With their realistic training, more and more healing potions were needed...
That evening, Bell went to visit Haruhime at her room, but found her sleeping while reading a story book. Being curious, he checked on which story book she was reading, but found that the pages were blank...
- The Next Morning -
At breakfast, Bell saw an excited Haruhime talking to Freya and Ottar, so he asked why.
Haruhime "Goddess Freya just did an update and I now have a new spell called Kokonoe. It allows me to have multiple tails. Now I can boost multiple people at the same time."
Bell "Wow, this sounds great"
Freya "Bell, this needs to be confidential."
Ottar "Confidentiality is critical for the familia and for Haruhime's safety. It made a difference in the battle against the demi spirits"
Bell "YES!"
After breakfast, Bell went to meet Ais, Tiona and Tione for training again.
Tiona "Ais and Tione were keeping an eye on the crazy wolf who had gone amuck."
Bell "I hope he is ok"
Tiona "Wolvie will be fine. So I will train with you today, Argonaut-kun"
Bell "Thank you Tiona"
Tiona "You will receive many lap pillows today : )", making Bell red.
After lunch, they detected many battles in the city. Instead of training, they went off to check on what was happening. Apparently many barbelas were being attacked by assassins. Tiona and Bell went to helped and saved many of them. They also took the injured ones to the hospital as their wounds would not heal. This kept them busy most of the day and evening, as Loki members were involved in the mission all over the city.
- The Next Day -
Ais and Tiona met Bell for training in the morning.
Ais "Bell, sorry that I could not train with you. I was involved with Bete's situation."
Tiona "But the apparent war with the assassins is over. Bete destroyed the assassins and the Thanatos familia. He got revenge for our younger members who were killed in the mission."
Ais "It was a huge battle, but Bete literally incinerated all of them including Valleta who was their captain"
Bell "Wow Bete is incredible", making Ais pout...
Ais "But Bete is missing so we are still looking for him"
Bell "I hope he is ok...", making Ais pout some more.
Tiona "We can only train in the morning. We need to help look for the wolf in the afternoon."
After training, Bell went back to the Folkvangr and found that Welf and Lili could go into the dungeon in afternoons. Apparently their training was only in the mornings as Freya and Ottar had to focus on Haruhime's training.
That evening, Bell discussed what happened with Freya and Ottar.
Freya "Yes Bete defeated all of them by himself"
Ottar "We will soon have to go back into the Knossos to finish the job"
Bell "When will that start?"
Freya "Loki wanted to start in 5 days, but a war is brewing with Rakia..."
Ottar "There could be a war, but a stupid war that would be very one-sided in our favor"
Freya "If war comes, our familia will be taking part in it"
