"A long, long time ago, we gods came down to this world-"
"The world of you, our children-"
"Seeking excitement."
"And we decided we would, live with you here forever in the lower world."
"We decided to seal away our divine power, and enjoy life with all the hardships and inconvenience that it entails."
"But we can only offer you one thing: The power to fight monsters, what we call our blessing."
"The children given this power become our servants, our familia."
"In other words, you are my servant."
A minotaur stomps the ground, attempting to crush a white-long-haired girl.
"You are the only member of the Hestia Familia."
A girl rolls to dodge the attack of the bipedal monster as rubble flies in the air from the destroyed cave wall.
"Hey! Are you listening Bell-chan?"
The girl is cornered by the monster, back against the cave wall. The horror roars, beginning it's approach on the terrified girl. As the girl covers her face, the monster begins it's punch. But as the punch is about to land, someone sends a single slash at the beast, forcing it to bow on it's knee. Then it lunges at the attacker, but the swords-woman dodges and cuts the monsters hand down the middle. The beast attempts to counter-attack the blond girl, but she dodges again and cuts the beast. As the monster falls on it's back, leaving Bell in between it and the cave wall. But as she believes the worst has ended, a sword pierces through the monsters, killing it and spraying it's blood onto Bell and leaving behind a crystal.
The blond girl seethes her blade. "Hey...", the blond says as she walks towards the blood red Bell. "Are you alright?"
A tight white dress, with blue ascents and armor on her shoulders and for some reason only covering one half of her chest. Her eyes a golden yellow. Bell can't help but look in awe.
10 minutes later...
In the middle of a street Bell dashes, covered in blood, making some of the bystanders get disgusted at the sight.
"What happened to her", one of the said bystanders asks.
"Is she okay?"
"She's probably a new adventurer who pushed herself too hard and screwed up."
"Oh, so she's just a cute screw up, huh."
A woman in business clothes walks out of a building, carrying some papers.
"Eina-san", Bell shouted.
"Oh, Bell-chan - Eek", shouted Eina at the sight of a blood soaked Bell.
"Please tell me everything you know about Aiz Wallenstein-san", Bell shouted.
A moment later...
"You know better than that-", Eina said, sitting on a couch. "-going straight down to the fifth floor? It's dangerous enough to go into the dungeon alone instead of finding a party!"
Bell sat on a couch, with a towel and a loose black shirt, revealing a bit of her cleavage, head down listening Eina lecturing her.
"I've told you this before: An adventurer shouldn't be too adventurous!"
"Yeah... I'm sorry", said Bell, lowering her head even more.
"Bell-chan, you're amazingly lucky. Not many level 1 girl adventurers, who've only been going to the dungeon for two weeks, would survive a minotaur attack", Eina said, crossing her hands.
"Yeah..."
With her head down, Eina booped Bells nose.
"I'm just glad you're alright. Be more careful next time, okay."
Bell looked up at the woman.
"And try not to run through the streets soaked, there's some real perverts out there. You're a cutie so be careful."
"And about that information on big-sis Aiz...", Bell said, embarrassed.
"What? Oh, don't tell me, you're a fan-girl because she saved you".
"Well... Um..."
"You are aren't you!"
"Yeah...", Bell said as she curled up on the couch.
"Aiz Wallenstein. Part of the Loki Familia, currently level 5. She's said to be one of the strongest swordsmen in Oratorio and has been given the title "Sword Princess"."
"Even I know that. I meant more like what she likes to do? What's her favorite food? And, um... If she was open for a friend."
"I haven't heard anything about that, but realistically it's not going to be easy to get that close to her", said Eina as Bell moped. "You've already received the blessing of goddess Hestia, and become the member of her Hestia Familia, right? There's a lot of reasons it will be dificult to get close to the leader of the Loki Familia."
Bell and Eina walked to the exit of the guild house. Bell looked up at Eina. "Come on, cheer up! Go and trade in the magic stones that you earned today for money."
"Okay", said Bell as she turned and walked towards the desk. "Here", said the girl as she dropped a few small magic stones on the desk. The man behind the desk took the stones and gave her 3 coins.
"Here you go, 1200 valis."
"Thank you", said Bell as she began walking towards the door with a sheepish smile. "Okay I'll be leaving."
"Bell-chan. Guys like girls who they can show off to, but try to show yourself at you're best and to stay positive. But if you really want Aiz to notice you, then you need to show you can help her! So keep training and maybe, you'll get both to notice you."
"Yeah!", Bell said with a bright smile, making some guy adventurers look at her while lightly blushing. "Thank you Eina-san! I love you~!"
Eina blushed, "Love you too", Bell ran out of the building into the sunset. "Isn't that sweet. Haa... Maybe I was too nice, but she's just too adorable!"
Bell, an adventurer and a cute girl like you should pick up guys in a dungeon. Have a cool guy save you from a hideous monster, be grateful and get to know each other as adventurers. The best part of being a girl adventurer!
"It's just like grandma said! Except a little different. I have to do my best", thought Bell as she jumped and ran into a ruined city towards a ruined church. Within that church she opened a hidden door and walked into a seller down stairs.
"Goddess! I'm back!"
A screaming girl in a virgin killer-like outfit. "Welcome back Bell-chan! You're home early today!"
"Yeah, I almost got killed in the dungeon today...", Bell said, twirling strands of her white hair.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt? If you die, it'll be really dramatic for me", said Hestia as she checked Bell body.
"It's okay goddess", said Bell as she kneeled down. "I'm the only member of the Hestia Familia. I would never leave you alone and helpless in the world!"
"Okay! Glad to hear it", Hestia said as she gave a smile. "I'm going to choose to believe that, so you'd better not let me down! Oh right! I have a delicious present for you today! Ta-dah", said the woman as she then pointed towards a small pile of potatoes.
As Bell hung up her jacket, "Where'd you get those fried potatoes?"
"You know how I started working at that food stand? Since more customers showed up, they gave it to me as a reward!", Hestia said proudly. "Let's have a fancy party for our dinner. Bell-chan... I'm not letting you get any sleep tonight", Hestia stated as she gave Bell a thumbs-up.
"Wow goddess!"
Later that night...
"Anyway... I still haven't found anyone else who wants to join the familia", said Hestia as she eats the fried potatoes with Bell. "Well, it can't be helped since I'm a goddess nobody has heard of..."
"Well you get the same blessing no mater which god you serve."
"Well as for me... I don't mind it that it's just the two us anyway... But it does bother me that you have to do all the work."
"Don't worry about it, you're working too aren't you, so it's not so bad", said Bell, grabbing another potato. "You even got this dinner!"
"Yeah, but I would at least be able to use my Arcanum. I'm sorry for being such a useless goddess."
"What do you mean! You're familia has only begun", said Bell turning towards the goddess. "And I'm sure things will get much better once we get through this! Okay!"
Hestia turned to Bell. "Bell-chan~! You're the best", said Hestia while standing up. "Allright! Now lwt's upgrade you're status!"
"Yes, goddess", Bell took of her shirt and began to lay on the bed.
"Wow Bell! You've matured so much as a woman! Your's are almost bigger than mine!"
"Please goddess! You're making me blush!"
"Allright, allright", said Hestia and cut the top of her own finger. "Bell-chan, you're too idealistic about the dungeon", says Hestia as she touches Bell's back with the bloody tip of her finger.
"Unh"
"Oh please Bell. You should be used to this! Anyway. You won't find any sensible guys in the dungeon", she continued as a symbol appeared on Bell's back and odd gloving symbols rose on her back. Like that Aiz girl...
After a while Hestia flinched over something that she saw on Bells back.
"Something wrong", asked Bell.
"N-No, nothing", Hestia said as she pushed the symbols back in to Bell's back, then grabbed a piece of paper from the side and pressed it onto Bell's back, then drew a circle on her back.
"Now remember! The partners you're looking for might be right in front of you at some point and you might not even notice", said Hestia as Bell looked back at Hestia then began thinking.
"Will I?"
"Of course! You're such a pretty girl! With you're pure white hair, ruby red eyes and you're... Assets...", Hestia said, making Bell blush as she moved to the side of the bed. "But for now! Look at the happiness right in front of you. Tah-da!"
Bell grabbed the sheet off the bed to cover her chest and grabbed the paper with her other hand. "My agility has gone up a lot!"
"Yeah, probably because you were running so much in the dungeon."
"Oh man... But my magic stat is still 0, huh. Will I ever be able to use magic?"
"I don't know that myself", said Hestia. Bell pointed towards a scribbled spot.
"Hey, goddess. What's this line on my skill?"
"My hand just slipt. It's just empty, like always."
"Of course."
Bell released her hand letting her chest be exposed and began walking towards her clothes. "I just wish I could become stronger quicker..."
The children in the lower world develope so quickly. We gods on the other hand? We are never changing.
As Bell walked away, Hestia grabbed the paper and ran her hand across the scribble and it turned into a groop of symbols translating to:
Heroine
The more people admire her, the more power she adds to her own.'
