Bell pov

"So, this is it huh" I was exhausted. My armor was broken from taking a hit while escaping and my knife was already gone.

My armour was already destroyed from a single hit. The next one will definitely kill me or, at the very least give some serious injuries.

Right now I was cornered in Daedelous street. I can't move forward since the silverback is there and if I turn around, the Silverback would easily catch up and kill me.

I was about to do something stupid like run through when Hestia appeared.

Hestia picked up a rock and hurled it at the silverback, causing it to turn.

Realizing my opportunity, I run through the silverbacks legs and make a sharp turn to avoid being caught.

After that, it was a beeline to Hestia after the silverback got caigjt up trying to grab me.

Hestia had stretched out her hand and was dragged along with me. We needed to hide quickly and thr only place we can without being immediately caught was behind a bush.

"Bell, thank you" Hestia had looked atme straight in the eye and thanked me.

"He, he, no... Problem" I was breathing hard. Being chased around really takes a toll on someone.

Hestia, who had been carrying a backpack tied around her had taken it off and revealed a long black knife. It was longer and thinner than my old one but even I, someone who hasn't even seen a smithy, could tell from just a look.

This knife will activate if I connect it to your Falna. It is a symbol of our Familia. You, me, and Rimuru. With this, we can both get closer to her.

Heh, so even Hestia noticed it. Rimuru although lively, usually kept distance between us. Never telling us much about who she is.

And thus, I accepted it, if only to get closer to her, and Hestia.
