Monologue
*sfx*
"Seriously Lily," Bell said, exasperated. "Do you really have to argue with Goddess?"
"Hehehe~ Lily doesn't know what Master Bell is talking about." Lily replied cheerfully as she clings to Bell's arm once more.
After the incident with Soma familia, Bell offered Lily to temporary stay in their home for a while until she found a new place to stay. The meeting is going smoothly in his view but after returning to the surface of the abandoned church after he fetch them something to drink, they are now at each other's throat and are arguing with one another while clinging to his arms.
"Let's forget about Lady Hestia for a while and focus on our objective when we enter the dungeon."
"Uhm... okay... !"
Bell's body suddenly jolt as he once again look at his surrounding.
"Master Bell?"
There it is again... that intense stare...
"Is something wrong, Master Bell?" Lily asked as she tilt her head in confusion.
"Uhhh... nothing. Must be my imagination. Hahahah..." Bell laugh dryly as he scratch his left cheek.
"Fufufufu."
High above Babel, the Goddess Freya laugh mischievously.
"By acquiring magic, he now shines brighter along with his increase in status but..."
"Is something bothering you, Lady Freya," the strongest adventurer of Orario asked as he stood his ground near the exit of the room, waiting for his Goddess's next order.
"Say Ottar, that smudge that keeps appearing before me." Freya said as she shifted her gaze into the sky. "Right now it is acting as a shackle that binds his growth. What do you think caused it and how do we remove that despicable thing?"
"Probably a predestined relationship."
"Predestined relationship?" Freya asked as she once again shifted her gaze back to the child approaching Babel. "His encounter with the Minotaur, I believe."
"Yes, that predestined relationship between that adventurer and the Minotaur. The shame and fear from that encounter tainted his being. Creating a shackle that bind his growth.
"So in other words, a trauma. Seriously, you children are quite delicate." Freya sigh as she returned to her chair. "So what is your suggestion then, as a fellow adventurer?"
"The only way is to go on an adventure and severe that shackle with your own hands."
"I see..." Freya murmur as she took a sip of wine.
There's no doubt he would be able to over come this trauma but if done later than sooner might prove disastrous for his growth. But if he is to face this wall, he will be facing a taller wall compare to the Silverback.
"Say Ottar,"
"Is something wrong, milady" Ottar asked while maintaining a serious look.
"Does it bother you? I, your goddess is entranced by that child, not caring of anyone else. Even children from my familia."
"..."
"If he became stronger than you, what should we do?"
"..."
"Compare to even you, perhaps, I will cherish that child more. More to the point that if that child is to die, I will follow him and take him to heaven with me."
"All is up to your will, Lady Freya."
"Even when I give him your position?"
"Yes,"
"Are you bot even a little bit jealous?"
"Your love to every one is equal despite of their merits," Ottar replied calmly. "Even if I am to disappear, I am confident that your love for me will still retain"
"Mou! Seriously!" Freya pout followed by a giggle upon seeing the very calm face of the boaz stiffen.
"My apologies if a ranted a bit."
"It doesn't matter. You could even say my love for you grew because of that."
"In that case, I am honored."
"Fufufu, in that case," Freya mused. "That child's development, I leave them to you."
"As you wish" the boaz replied as he bows at her before turning his back, preparing to do his goddess' bidding.
"But the fact that you understand him more..." Freya trail of as she knows she is all by her self now. "To that extent, I am jealous of you."
... Just what kind of wind will blow this time?
Aaaaaaaaaannnnd cut!
