Lily looked at the new picture Goddess Freya hung in the Folkvangr cafeteria. Right above the fireplace was a Vanadís Agency portrait of Lady Syr, Master Bell and Anna.
Lily's eyes were glued to the portrait. She felt her old friend Envy pull up a bar stool in her mind.

Freya looked on from Babel at one of her children. She decided that the Supporter needed some support herself, "Alfrigga, make sure that Bell takes Lily on a proper date."
Alfrigga who was on duty with Hildr today nodded, "Yes Goddess."

Bell practiced in the yard against one of Vanadís Agency's male models. He was a tall and straping blonde werewolf. His muscles were for show, having no real use for combat. He was one of the man Level 1s that showed up at Folkvangr from Gersemi Boulevard to do his required bouts.
Bell quickly learned after visiting Gersemi Boulevard, that not everyone in the Freya Familia was an Adventurer. Some were shopkeeps, models, Andhrímnir, Adventurers, waitresses, treasurers, artists or bar owners. While, not all were meant to delve into the Dungeon for glory and legend. They were all meant to be able to stand as an army for their Goddess if the time ever came for it.
Bell leaped over a leg sweep. He flung one of his throwing knives at the tail of the model. He yelped in pain as Bell landed and prepared to deliver a kick to the werewolf.
"How about a real challenge, Bell."
Stopped his kick at Alfrigga's behest. He turned to see the Level 5 Pallum and bowed to her, "It was be my honor, Lady Alfrigga."

Bell stood with a pair tickets for a dinner in one of the more high class restaurants in the city. Alfrigga looked him up and down, approving the red suit he was wearing.
Bell looked at tickets and then the suit, "Uh, what kind of challenge is this exactly?"
Alfrigga pulled at his coat tails as she explained, "Every year Hephaestus Familia and Goibniu Familia hold a friendly competition to see which Familia made the best weapon called a Weapon Show. The Weapon show is open to all Adventurers with the Blacksmith Developmental Ability. I'm entering you and your Raudan Elding knives to the show."
Bell paniced, "Are my knives going to be sold?"
Alfrigga explained to him, "No, they are merely going to be voted on for best. That way Freya Familia blacksmiths will get more sales reputation."
Bell then asked her, "So, I'm your plus one?"
A smack to the back of the head was all he needed to realize that he was Alfrigga's display. He then smiled at the thought of bringing Syr. However that thought was shot down as Alfrigga spoke, "The Gods and Goddesses present will expect that the displaying Adventurers will bring a suitable date."
Bell then looked at the ticket and realized that he wouldn't be where he was without someone to help him along the way.

Lily stood with Syr at a dress store. She had been looking at the ticket that Master Bell had presented her with. Blushing she had said yes to escorting him to the weapon show.
At this moment, she no longer cared if Lady Syr was his first kiss. She was fine with her and Anna dating Bell. She was just happy to be dating him too.
Syr squealed as she glomped the Supporter, "You look so darling, yet daring."
Lily was dressed in a short skirt blue dress. The dress had a seperate top, being a ruffle. The forearm sleeves also had a ruffle design. When worn it exposed her smooth shoulders and neck to the world. The skirt that came with it was a blue pencil mini skirt with a medium high slit up the side. To finish off the outfit, she wore a pair of diamond studded open toe medium heel shoes.

After Bell presented the Raudan Elding knives. He stepped back to see other Adventurers show of their weapons. The various members of the public applauded the great artworks of combat.
A quartet of bards began to play their flutes from the Han Xiangzi Familia and a poet of the Bragi Familia began to speak.
Bell looked to his date with a blush. He extended a hand, "Would you like to dance?"
Lily accepted his hand feeling like a princess, "Yes, Master Bell."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At the end of the dance and weapon show, Lily felt like the happiness was going to end. Bell smiled as he began to lead her out to the street. Lily gasped as she saw a carriage with six white horses. Bell helped her up and paid the driver.
Lily laid her head into Bell's chest, "Master Bell. If Lily is dreaming. Don't wake Lily up."
Bell wrapped his arm around her. Hugging her into him, the night was cool. And Lily needed a hero to keep her warm.
