"Is there a special order you like to check out and pick things up?"
"I would like to start with the Hephaistos Familia and then go to the Dian Cecht Familia. After that we have to go..."
Riveria continued for some moments about the full errand.
"We you supposed to carry all those things alone?"
Bell looked surprised.
"We won´t pick up everything today, the things that Tsubaki forges and the repairs from the Goibniu Familia will be delivered on the day of the expedition."
"Those things have to be expensive."
It was very refreshing for Riveria to just have a casual talk while walking, Bell was a really pleasant conversationalist, especially because it was so simple.
"The repairs cost very much, many of the Familia have high debts with the Goibniu Familia, especially Tiona and Ais."
"So the vanguard usually takes more damage to their equipment?"
"Not when we got used to a Floor, on a new Floor it is a different matter of course."
"And for the mages of the Expedition? I can think of scenarios where your equipment takes hits but not too much."
"We do have less repair costs, but we have to prepare other things and the vanguard gets a bigger share of the Expedition´s income."
"That sounds fair, how do you deal with dropp items?"
"Finn, Gareth and I decide what to do with them, those which aren´t needed are sold."
"And what about the orders from the Hephaistos Familia? New equipment must be quite expensive."
"We have a special deal with goddess Hephaistos and Tsubaki, that´s why she accompanies us on the most Expeditions."
Against what Bell thought, he and Riveria didn´t drew much attention in Orario, walking together. Riveria was a famous first rank adventurer as well as Bell, but the citizens of Orario were used to the sight of adventurers.
Hmm, I mean it isn´t like I´m the protagonist in a specific story.
The time went by fast while they talked and soon they arrived at Babel. Bell opened the door to the elevator for Riveria and she showed him a polite smile, that was something that his grandfather had told him, to open doors for women.
They arrived on the level where no shops of the Hephaistos Familia were, but Tsubaki´s personal forge.
After a short knock against the door they heard an answer. "Cm´in"
"Tsubaki, good day."
"Ah, Riveria, welcome. And oh...if that isn´t the "King Rabbit"."
Bell´s new alias was...not what he had hoped for...
"Ms. Cyclops, good day."
"Ah just say Tsubaki."
The friendly woman grinned.
"Tsubaki, we are here to check for our order."
"Everything is ready and finished, you can always rely on me."
Tsubaki walked to a wall that was covered by a giant blanket, she fiddled with a string and slowly the blanket moved to the side. There weren´t only weapons under the blanket, but also various shields and armor parts.
"This chestplate looks like the one that Ais uses." Bell leaned forward.
"The Sword Princess? Of course, it is for her, have to say she fidgeted a lot while taking measurements."
"I tought it would be enough when we give you the measurements?" Riveria raised an eyebrow.
"Ah you know me, I like to measure for myself, to know every knook and cranny of the body, makes the forging easier." Tsubaki grinned again.
Now Bell understood why Ais fidgeted so much, Tsubaki meant what she said and measured everything...and gave comments.
"And the costs stayed within reasonable limits?"
"Oh don´t worry Riveria, we stayed under a billion vals."
"A Billion?!" Bell couldn´t stop himself from yelling out.
"Yes, everything together came 950.000.000. Vals."
His mouth refused to get closed.
"H-How are you ever going to pay for it?" He looked shocked at Riveria.
"You have to divide the price on the whole party. While only a few will use the equipment, it benefits everything. Also Tsubaki will accompany us, when we explore new floors, she wants to come with us."
"Yup! Never gonna know what dropp items may be down there. Also it´s very exiting! So I will give you a 10% discount as always, because you are regular customers, and another discount depending on the items we will find."
Riveria continued to explain details to Bell. "Tsubaki always picks dropp items that are interesting for her, we don´t only pay with money. But we will still have to visit the dungeon a few times in order to make money. The Expedition always starts before the Expedition and ends after the Expedition."
That was one of the mottos of the Loki Familia.
Tsubaki raised a finger in front of Bell´s nose. "Besides, if these guys wouldn´t order my stuff, I would only work on the same things over and over again. Man I hope to get another chance to forge something exciting like your sword, King Rabbit."
"Y-You can just say Bell."
Now Riveria looked interested. "You helped by forging Bell´s sword?"
"Yes! Man that was amazing! The personal forge of the boss had to be renovated after that! Everything was burnt by the lightning...natures force can be scary."
"I wouldn´t say the nature is scary, it just is like it is."
As an elf, Riveria had a different point of view than most people.
They talked for a few minutes, until Riveria wished a good bye. "We have to check on the other things, thank you for your time, Tsubaki."
"Everytime, Riveria! Bye, bye Belli! Greet Welfi from me!"
"Belli?...Welfi?..."
While they left the forge, Riveria nodded. "Tsubaki talks like that."
"Hah..."
.
.
"Lady Riveria, good day."
Amid bowed her head politely with closed eyes.
Since they were already at Babel, they went to the shop of the Dian Cecht Familia next. It was Riveria´s favorite location that they had to visit today, since Amid´s work was always flawless.
"Good day, Amid." Riveria nodded.
Amid´s eyes opened a bit, a faint blush came to her cheeks when she looked at Bell. "Hello..."
"Hey.." He smiled...more than a polite smile.
Oh? Amid too? Good for her.
Riveria wasn´t really curious, but she noticed how those two looked at each other. Love was something between two people in Riveria´s eyes, but Amid deserved relaxation and love. Completely unusual for what Riveria knew of Amid, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled shyly.
I wonder when...maybe that time?
A while ago, Bell had to stay in the hospital for two weeks, he got heavily wounded in the dungeon...again. It was really interesting to watch how Bell and Amid looked into each others eyes, breaking eye contact again and again because they tried not to be too obvious in front of Riveria...but still looked at each other again.
"*Cough*"
Amid startled a bit when Riveria coughed on purpose. "Oh s-sorry, lady Riveria."
"I wanted to check our order, Bell is accompanies me to learn how to plan an expedition."
The expression of the healer got professional again. "Right, please follow me."
Amid led them through a door into an extra room, where she stored the orders from various people.
"The potions are done to ninety-five percent, the last ones will be done tomorrow. I used the new technique that we bought from lord Miach, so you don´t have to drink them. Also we bought the intellectual property for double potions from Nahza Erisuis, so you can restore health and mind with one potion.
Each is made out of the strongest crystal-glass and transported in special pouches."
Ms. Nahza is really a genious!
Bell was always amazed what Nahza could do with potions, she was the number one creator in Orario now. But she couldn´t work as much as usual, she had to take it easy now and rest more than usual, due to her pregnancy. He still had never seen her that happy before, becoming pregnant was one of her biggest dreams...and Bell would never forget that one night with her. She was the girl he knew the longest in Orario...except for Hestia. Nahza had ripped him off...Bell was never angry because of that. They had become good friends. And in that special night...Nahza and Bell were in bed together...naked...and she moaned under him. And now...Nahza was pregnant...from him. She and Miach had asked him in a long talk if he would do it, they longed for a family, so Bell had agreed to become the biological father, only later he noticed that this would mean to have sex with Nahza...
"Everything looks good, and the other items?"
"Will be done also tomorrow."
"I thank you Amid, everything is perfect as usual."
"Thank you, I will send the items together with the bill to your home when they are done."
"Ahm..."
"Yes, Bell?" Riveria turned to him.
"How much do these items and potions cost?"
Amid smiled professional. "We gave a discount of three percent, very generous for my lord Dian Cecht, so 157.000.000 Vals."
"Holy!"
"Bell.."
"I´m sorry Ms. Riveria...but that all together makes over a billion Vals...I mean...a BILLION Vals..."
"We will go down to a new Floor, that is the usual price. The next Expedition will be much cheaper."
"My lord Dian Cecht also will put on an additional fee for "that"."
"I understand. Thank you Amid, we will leave now."
Amid didn´t answered immediately, but glanced to Bell.
"I will wait outside..."
Riveria sighed a bit. Young love...
Bell followed her after a minute, with a heavily blushing, but happy smiling Amid. She didn´t expected Bell to visit her at work today...but the long, loving kiss in the store room just now...it made her day only better. She still felt guilty to do that while a customer visited and she was at work.
Hauu...how unfitting of a saint... But Amid was really weak to Bell...and she loved it, as much as he loved her.
.
.
Bell followed Riveria through the city. "What is our next destination?"
Riveria didn´t answered.
"Ms...Riveria?"
Still no answer.
Is she mad?
Bell quickened his pace to walk next to her, it looked like she was in thoughts.
She must be thinking about something very important.
He decided not to disturb her and just walk alongside her.
They...kissed in there...I´m sure of that...how...lewd... But...when they are a couple...then that´s...okay? I wonder h-Wait stop!
Riveria blinked and scolded herself in her mind, then she noticed that Bell was looking at her from the side.
Pull yourself together, me! You are an young, adult elf!
"Bell, do you need something?" She managed to sound as calm as ever.
"I just wanted to ask what our next destination is."
"Oh the Goibniu Familia, we will check on the repairs for everyones equipment. Most of us have their equipment repaired there, except Gareth and the mages."
"Why not Mr. Gareth?"
"He has a personal smith contract with Tsubaki, he only uses her equipment."
"I always wanted to ask, why are you customers for the two big smith familias?"
"The Goibniu Familia has experts in some weapons, while the Hephaistos Familia has in other. Also one wouldn´t just be enough, due to our constant loss on equipment there is much work."
"So you are like the best customers for them?"
"I guess."
The visit at the Goibniu Familia was similar to the one at the Hephaistos Familia. Bell made notes for himself about everything he had to think about, for the future. Riveria was very pleased that he worked so earnest. So far it was a very relaxing day, Bell continued to open every door for Riveria...he even pulled her chair back for her when they sat down at a small diner to eat a little bit.
"You are very polite, Bell."
"My grandfather raised me that way."
Riveria really enjoyed his presence.
.
.
DING DONG DANG DANG!
.
.
A sound like a bell echoed all over Orario, the work of citizens and Familias came to a hold. The sound came from Babel, it was a special magic item used by the guild to announce things all over Orario.
Normally it was used for emergencies, to lead adventurers to certain places.
.
.
.
.
"EINA THULE! MS. EINA THULE! PLEASE COME TO THE MAIN OFFICE IMMEDIATELY! I REPATE, MS. EINA THULE, PLEASE COME TO THE MAIN OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!"
.
.
.
.
That they had to announce it like this meant that Eina wasn´t at the guild.
"I wonder w-"
Bell stopped when he saw Riveria turning pale.
"Dear spirits...no...please...no!"
"Ms. Riveria?" He was perplexed and shocked, Bell never saw Riveria before like this.
"Bell, I have to go! Sorry, please pay for the food, I give it back to you, I have to hurry!"
"Oka-"
Riveria didn´t gave him time to finish, she even let the bags at the table and ran out of the diner. She was alwasy calm and dignified...but now she looked like she was in panic. Riveria didn´t cared a bit about the stares of people, she ran as fast as she could towards Babel.
The guild called for Eina, not for her. But Riveria knew what the call out meant, the guild only called for their workers out of one reason like that...something has happened to one of their close relatives.
Aina!
The blood froze in Riveria´s veins, Eina´s mother Aina was Riveria´s friend since childhood, they were like sisters. And Aina was weak for a long time now, not feeling well most of the time.
Aina! Please be safe!
.
Bell didn´t knew what to do at first, he paid for the food and took the bags, walking to the Loki Mansion to bring everything there, and inform the goddess about Riveria, maybe she knew what was to do.
.
.
It was late that evening when Bell still sat in the living room and talked with Familia members. He had brought everything to the Loki Mansion and talked to Loki, the goddess looked unseasy.
As carefree as Loki was, she didn´t told Bell about Aina, that was something that Riveria would tell him or not.
"Mmmwaa...good night..." Lily dragged herself to the stairs.
"Good night, Lily."
Only Bell and Hestia were still awake, but the small goddess was slowly dozing off. Bell thought about carrying her into her room so that she could sleep, when he heard a soft knock from the door.
A visitor? At this hour?
Bell went quietly to the door and opened it a crack.
"Huh? Ms. Riveria?"
"Bell...good evening..."
Riveria wore her usual robe, even at night she looked incredibly beautiful, but the expression was what caught Bell´s eyes. In the backround at the main gate, he saw a familiar elf with long, brown hair, if he rememberred right she was called Alicia, it seemed she had accompanied Riveria and waited for her now.
"What is wrong?"
"May I come in?"
"Oh, of course."
Bell closed the door after Riveria came in and took her shoes off.
"We have to be quiet, most of the others sleep already."
"I´m sorry for disturbing you this late."
He smiled slightly to show her it was okay.
"Chhhrrrr..."
Hestia was snoring in the living room, curled up in her big armchair.
"Oh...maybe we should talk upstairs."
Riveria followed Bell as silent as possible, she had awaited a second living room...but not this.
"Is this...your room?"
"Is that a problem?"
"No, of course not."
If Riveria weren´t this worried, she would probably scold herself for coming late at night to another house and go with a gentleman into his personal room. Bell closed the door behind them, his room was tidy, as always. He had a new large table on the side, where he had put his weapons and armor on top.
Two swords and two knives were side by side. The Hestia Knife, Hakugen, Fairy´s dawn...which was forged before he and Ryu had given each other their pledge for eternal love...and Olympus, which was forged before a certain event, a symbol of his love to Ais.
"I would offer you tea, but I only have water."
"It´s okay..."
"Ms. Riveria, what is wrong?"
"Hah...would you please listen to me for a moment?"
Never before had he seen her so worried...it awakend the urge in him to protect and help her.
She looks so...vulnerable...
Riveria always seemed to be strong, but there were things that made even her weak.
Bell got a water jug and two glasses for them, they sat down at a small table on the side, with two chairs. His room was set up for two people ... for a reason. She took the glass in her hands and drank a little.
"First, I´m sorry for just running off this afternoon."
"I´m sure you had a good reason."
"It was still unpolite, so I´m sorry."
Her pride as an elf demanded it to apologize to Bell.
"Also, thank you and I´m sorry, that you had to bring all the purchases back to the Mansion alone."
He didn´t interrupted her, Bell had experience with elves that had trouble with their pride. If they wanted to or not, elves tended to behave in certain ways.
"The reason why I ran off, was the announcement of the guild."
"Where they called for Eina."
"Correct. You may know it or not, but the guild only uses this item to call for their members, when something dire had happened, to one of their close relatives."
"Oh no."
Riveria nodded, her hands clenched lightly around the glass. "Eina´s mother was brought to the hospital of the Dian Cecht Familia, after she collapsed."
Bell nodded, Eina had told him about her mother, but he hadn´t met her personally so far.
"Her mother, Aina...is a very dear person to me. She is my sis-...my friend since childhood...in the last years she got really weak. It seems she has an ilness that occures rarely amoung elves, an ancient suffering that sometimes doesn´t happen in hundreds of years."
Riveria started to talk faster and faster, her hands cleched more around the glass, but not to the point that it was breaking. Bell noticed the smallest tears gathering in the corners of Riveria´s eyes. He really wanted to take her hand and gently squeeze it to show her that he was there for her, but he didn´t dared to touch her.
It was something completely different with Ryu...or even Lefiya...while Bell really, really liked Riveria, he couldn´t just touch her hand.
"I went to the hospital and arrived at the same time as Eina, together we talked to Amid, who brought us to Aina. She wasn´t even pale anymore...I have never seen her so weak *Hic*..."
Bell´s eyes widened when Riveria started to sob...that she showed him her vulnerable side...she had to be very desperate.
"Amid did her best for Aina, but it doesn´t help this time...Aina won´t recover with just that."
"Don´t tell me she-.."
"Please don´t speak it out!"
"I´m sorry..."
"The Dian Cecht Familia has great knowledge about healing...Amid is called a saint for a reason...but they don´t have what is needed to treat her. This illness only happens to elves...and only those from very old bloodlines like ours."
"Yours?"
"Aina and I are related, we have the same ancestors, but different family branches."
That means Eina is also related to Ms. Riveria...
"But you won´t suffer from it?" He looked worried.
"No...if I had this illness, it would have shown already...and don´t worry about Eina, it is not hereditary."
"Mh.."
Now Riveria raised her head for the first time, she had looked down to her glass the whole time. Bell´s heart broke when he saw that she was crying...Riveria the proud, strong, elven mage from the Loki Familia...tried her best to not burst into tears openly, fighting for her usual calm, dignified expression.
Lefiya and Ryu had told Bell so much that he knew that Riveria was a high elf. To show herself to him like that...elves didn´t did that often. It was more than just a vote of confidence.
"Please Bell...help me..."
"What can I do? I´ll do anything!"
There was no way he would refuse when a woman was in danger...and two others were crying because of that, not only Riveria, but Eina too. Bell never had a mother, so he couldn´t even imagine how desperate Eina had to be, and if he understood right between the lines, Riveria didn´t saw Aina as a friend...but her sister.
"An "Infinity Flower", this is what Aina needs to get healed again...it could even free her from the illness completely."
"Where do we find one? In the dungeon?"
She shook her head. "No, the "Infinity Flower" only grows in elven lands, the great forests and ruins of old times. But..."
"But?"
"Someone has to be very lucky to find one, they are beyond rare. If it grows at all...maybe there is one in a elven forest."
"In...each forest?"
"No..."
"Oh.."
He was told that there were a few forests where elves lived, like Ryu´s homeforest Ryumilua, or Lefiya´s homeforest Wishe. The last one in particular rang in Bell´s mind, since he knew so much about past stories, he knew that the hero Argonaut had a companion, an elven bard named "Ryulu", her name was never fully mentioned, except in one book he read the name "Ryulu Wishe".
After the death of Argonaut, Ryulu had promised to princess Orna to wander through the lands and spread the story of Argonaut. She was one of two reasons why the story was widely known, the other were the books. At some point in time, Ryulu Wishe might have founded a new elven forest, which meant she settled down there with other elves that followed her. The name "Wishe Forest" came to honor her...there was a chance that she was the ancestor of Lefiya.
"So you..."
Riveria looked pleadingly into his eyes. "Bell...I know this is a selfish request...but would you come with me and search for the flower? I heard that you are really lucky...I can´t think about a better person."
Visiting elven forests...
Bell always wanted to do that, but he had promised Lefiya and Ryu to visit their homeforests together with them if he would ever do that. He even promised Ryu he would only do it if she was ready to visit her old home at all...and Lefiya wanted to introduce him to her parents. While most elves were pretty prude when it came to other races, especially mixing with humans, true love stood above everything else.
Lefiya was nervous about introducing Bell to her parents, but since elves only fell in love with one person in their whole life, her parents would accept him.
"Who else would come with us?"
"Only we two would go, if you don´t have the luck to find it, others wouldn´t either. The Expedition will still start in a week, but we can´t wait that long."
"When do you plan to start."
"Tomorrow."
"How much...I mean...time..."
"About half a year...at maximum..."
"Oh..."
"Yes..."
Bell took a deep breath. "I will help you."
"Really?"
"Yes, I can´t just say no after what I heard, not only for you and Ms. Aina, but Eina too."
He heard Riveria sigh from relieve. "Thank you, Bell."
Bell drank a bit water. "But we can´t just go tomorrow morning, we have to inform the guild, I have to talk to my goddess and Familia...and a few other people."
Riveria nodded, slowly getting her old expression back. "Of course, we have to prepare for the journey, just rushing won´t help Aina."
Bell got up from his chair and searched for something on a shelf, it was a world map.
He put down the map on the table. "Where do you plan to go first?"
His calm manner helped her to calm down more too, concentrating on the journey was a good thing, only being worried wouldn´t save Aina.
"I planned to move to the east, visiting the forest south of the Alv Mountains, if we don´t find it there, further east to the Wishe Forest, Lefiya´s home. The next one would be in the north, past Altenia, the forest Ryumilua."
Ryu´s homeforest...
"And if we still don´t have luck..." Riveria sighed. "The Alf´s royal forest..."
"Ahm...that is...your homeforest...right?"
"Yes."
"What about other forests?"
"They would be too far away...this journey alone will take weeks, if anything goes well. Also, no elf lives in the far north near the dragon valley, nor in the east where the empire and the far east are. And I´m sure I don´t need to talk about the Kaios desert."
"Weeks?"
"The continent is quite big."
"I never really thought how big the world is."
They were silent for a few moments.
"Ms. Riveria, I´m sorry but I have to ask...your Familia...lady Loki...will let you go?"
It wasn´t only the question if the would let her go, but nearly alone.
"I left Orario a few times in the past, there was a festival at an elven forest, Lefiya, Lyon and Filvis accompanied me."
"But...I mean I am a man...and not an elf."
"It shouldn´t be a problem, you have my trust."
"But...will the elves let me enter their forests?"
"They will." She nodded determined.
He saw that Riveria was pretty exhausted and tired. "We should probably continue tomorrow, I will walk you home."
"You don´t need to, Alicia is waiting outside."
"I can´t and won´t let two beautiful elves walk through the city at night without further guard."
A tired smile came to Riveria´s lips. "Okay."
She didn´t told Bell that there was no real danger for them, Alicia eyed Bell as they walked to the Loki Mansion in silence. Loki knew already, but Riveria would tell the others tomorrow about her journey.
When they arrived at the Loki Mansion, Bell wished both a good night and left on his own. While it was late at night, Bell would visit another place, a place that was still opened. Thankfully it wasn´t that cold at night and just in case he wore his Knife under his jacket.
He wouldn´t need it to defend himself, but showing a potential robber his weapon would let him know that Bell was an adventurer.
Soon he arrived at the pub, it wasn´t that busy anymore, but there were still guests there. To his luck, not only Ryu but Lefiya too worked at that day. Lefiya had become a part time employee after certain events...and Bell really admired the sight of her in the uniform.
"Good evening, dear customer!"
Syr beamed all over her face when she saw Bell walking in, she wasn´t allowed to flirt openly with him during her shift.
"Good evening, Syr."
"Ehehe, what brings you here, Bell?"
"I need to talk to Ryu and Lefiya, it is important."
"Mou...not to see me?"
Bell looked deep into her eyes, her cheeks got pink by his intense look. "A day wouldn´t be enough to come to see you, I will come my entire life to see you."
"M-Mou...B-Bell..." That she was flustered was not pretended.
Syr covered her mouth with her tray and got really red, she loved when he was like that.
"I-I will talk with Mama Mia, please wait at the stairs."
"Thank you...my love."
"Mou Bell! This is too sudden when you flatter me like this!"
He still saw that Syr was smiling happily.
A long talk with Ryu and Lefiya awaited Bell.
.
.
"Bell, you absolutely have to go."
"I agree my friend, Bell you have to help lady Riveria." Lefiya nodded in agreement with Ryu.
"I will be away for a long time, Ms. Riveria said it will take weeks."
"I´m sure you can do it, you helped me back then with lady Astrea too."
"Since you are talking about her..."
Bell´s eyes followed the movements of an incredible beautiful woman. The goddess Astrea enjoyed to work part time at the pub, and the customers enjoyed the sight of the volouptos, clumsy goddess.
He gulped when he saw her waving happily smiling to him...she was really beautiful...
"Bell...don´t stare at my mother like that..." Ryu frowned.
"I´m sorry, I didn´t meant to..."
"Bell...don´t you dare look at lady Riveria like that when you two are alone..." Lefiya joined Ryu again.
"I won´t do anything improper, I promise you. And also...I will come back to you two...and Syr...and Ahnya...and everyone else."
For a moment his eyes wandered down on Ryu...stopping at her stomach. She smiled lovingly and put her hand on her stomach.
"Don´t worry, there are still seven months, you surely won´t take so long."
Lefiya´s eyes got bigger and bigger, she blinked repeatedly. "You are pregnant?!"
"Didn´t I told you?" Ryu looked confused.
"No!"
"I see. I´m sorry."
"Ha...I want to hear everything about that later!"
"What exactly?"
"How you feel and such things!"
Lefiya´s eyes wandered to Bell, both weren´t at the point where they made love with each other, elves always took their time with these things. And unlike Ais and a few others over time, Ryu would never use the special tea...she didn´t belonged to a dungeon party and it was her dream to become a mother.
"So...you two are going to become...wow..."
Ryu smiled lovely. "I´m sure you will be a wonderful mother too some day, Lefiya."
"Mmmh!"
Instead of answering, the flustered elf gave Bell a quick kiss on his cheek and went to her work again. At first Bell had thought that maybe...Ais would be the first one to...well...become pregnant. But the chance for Ais that this happened was even lower than for an elf, due to her spirit blood.
.
.
Before the pub closed, Bell went home. Hestia was still sleeping on the armchair, so he picked her gently up and carried her to her room. He sat her down on her bed and carefully took off her usual, white dress, putting her pyjama on her body, before putting her into her bed.
"Good night, Hestia."
Bell kissed her forehead, which let her smile happily in her sleep.
.
.
In his own room, Bell lay awake for a long time and thought about the evening.
I will go with Ms. Riveria on a journey...a long journey...
Bell´s feelings for Riveria were far more than just admiration.
But this journey is to save Eina´s mother...I have to talk to her tomorrow if I have the chance.
He closed his eyes and tried to find sleep.
I will help Ms. Riveria, we will save Eina´s mother!
While Bell drifted to sleep, a naughty, lewd thought filled his mind.
And maybe...I will...closer...to...Ms...Riveria...
.
.
.
.
.
Authors Note: So Riveria´s story will be a long journey side by side with Bell, many times it will only be the two of them. I wanted to give her a lets call it classical fantasy story.
Also while Bell is already an item here with Lefiya, when it comes to her story it will be about how she fell for him.
I will write an ark for each the girls that are part of, but the end of one ark plays after the start of some other arks, I just don´t want to jump between the girls each chapter. I would need to work on a complete timeline, so the "routes" will focus mostly on one girl, with the others on the side.
