Bill's Goddess Adventure
A: Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon Story
Chapter 8
It was the next day, Bill was practicing with his arrows on a target dummy they had acquired from Hephaestus, Bill bought it since he didn't want to constantly take advantage of her good nature...And Bill wasn't very good at hitting the dummy more than the wall or floor.
"Darn it!" He hissed in annoyance
Hera began to watch as she saw him nock his next arrow; he kept his eyes on the target, the bow-string was taut and then released just grazing the torso area of the dummy.
"Better." She smiled
"L-Lady Hera, how...how long have you been there?" Bill asked
"A few minutes." Hera admitted
"Oh...I-I'm just...Yeah." Bill began to explain but the sight was self-explanatory
"You're good for a level one." Hera smiled lightly
"Thank you." He blushed
"I can help if you want. I am not as good as Artemis but my daughter taught me well enough that I can be a challenge for her." Hera offered
"I'd like that Lady Hera, thank you." Bill nodded accepting the help
"Just give me a minute to get dress and I'll be there." Hera asked
"Of course." Bill nodded
'Wait... Dressed?' He thought as she began to walk away
'L-Lady Hera...G-Getting dressed...?' He thought with a blush imagining his Lady getting dressed
As well as realising she had just been in her underwear and the pelt from their bed
'Oh sweet mercy...' he thought as he got a slightly bloody nose.
'No! No! Bad thoughts!' He thought in anger
"Bill, are you alright? Your face is all flustered." Hera walked outside.
"Y... Yes. I'm fine." He gulped
"Okay...let me show you how to shoot an arrow." Hera gripped his hands into position...it was making him hot under his collar.
He gulped, nodding
"Okay, you keep your arm like this..." Hera ordered lightly as she positioned his arms and feet into the right stance. And unable to help it, she smirked and teased him a bit. "Now...you pull back..." Hera whispered
Bill nodded, doing as she said
"And fire." Hera spoke with a sensual tone, which Bill released his string hand shooting the arrow hitting the dummy square in its forehead.
"Good." She nodded
"I...Need to jump into a cold river." Bill gulped dropping his bow.
"Why?" She asked innocently
"I...Can't say, be right back!" Bill ran to the river that was adjacent to the house.
She raised her eyebrow as Bill jumped into the river
"Th-th-th-that's...b-better!" Bill shuddered in the water.
"I'll get a towel." Hera went inside.
*time skip*
"Brr...Not...one of my better ideas..." Bill shuddered.
"Then why did you do it then?" Hera asked
"Well...I got a bit...hot under my collar." Bill admitted
She blushed a bit, but smiled
"Well...we WERE close..." Hera teased
"Yeah...So...how did I do?" Bill asked getting the feeling back in his body
"Very good." She smiled
"I better practice with MOVING targets soon." Bill answered
"The first floor dungeon is a good place to start." Hera sat next to him.
"Yea... I forgot the Dungeon would be a good place to train." He laughed
Hera laughed lightly 'I think you did this here JUST for me...' she thought
She bit her lip at that, calming down a bit
"But...besides that...I think I'll be heading to the dungeons in a bit." Bill answered
"Okay." She smiled before she got bold... and she kissed him.
Bill's eyes went wide and then just accepted the kiss and cupped her face softly.
The two stayed like that for a few minutes before the broke the kiss, blushing and smiling
"Guess we're past the "being friends" bit..." Bill chuckled lightly
"Just a bit..." Hear answered
"Now go have fun." She smiled, patting his cheek lightly lovingly
"I'll be back soon." Bill smiled as he got his bag and his weapons. "I might be late."
"Have fun." She smiled, waving a bit
Bill walked to the pub; he wanted to see the patrons before he went into the dungeons.
"Bill!" The staff smiled
"You're going in late. Marcyl was worried if her meal would be left to a customer." Alicia commented
"Awe come on...when have I ever missed one of Marcyl's meals?" Bill chuckled
"True; Marcyl, Bill's here." Alicia spoke to her youngest daughter "You've got yourself a bow, planning to be an archer?"
"No...I needed something to give myself some advantage at a range, I can't just rush in with my sword blazing." Bill admitted
"You're late." Marcyl pouted holding her meal for Bill.
"Yeah...I know I'm sorry, forgive this fool?" Bill asked kindly
She huffed lightly, looking away childishly as she crossed her arms over her chest and puffed her cheeks out
"Oh...come on...Please don't be mad..." Bill asked as he knelt down.
"No!" She huffed
"Marcyl...don't be mean. He's here now; he had to train with his new bow." Alicia spoke
"Fine." She huffed
"Now...What do we say?" Alicia asked
"I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier." Bill apologized.
Helena smiled, returning it
"It's okay." Marcyl nodded with a small pout
"Thank you Marcyl." Bill smiled taking the lunch gently from her hands.
She nodded and hugged him before going back to work
"She likes you, you know." Alicia spoke
"I...she...huh?" Bill's brain went dead.
"As in like a big brother." The mother laughed
"Oh thank goodness!" Bill panted heavily
"Silly pup." Alicia shook her head. "Better get a move on Bill."
"Okay!" He nodded "I'll see you later!" He waved, running
'Such a silly pup.' Alicia thought kindly
*With Bill*
'Okay...dungeon, here I come.' Bill thought as he went down to the dungeon.
But then... He heard it.
"What the...What's that?" Bill thought to himself.
He looked in an alleyway and his eyes widened at this sight
A group of five people were cornering an elf girl into the wall. From what Bill could see the girls' eyes were forest green, her hair was autumn red and she was wearing the lowest tier clothing.
"BACK OFF!" He yelled, readying his blade
"Whut th'? You gunna make us?" an Adventurer spoke wielding his axe
"Yes I am!" Bill answered
He drew his sword and held an arrow in the other
"Ha-ha-ha!" You trying to kill us with a sword and arrow? You greenhorn!" another Adventurer laughed insultingly.
Bill was silent and charged. He used the arrow as a stabbing weapon, stabbing into their flesh and joins and ripping the arrow back out leaving nasty wounds, while he slashed with his sword which made most of their mid-tier weapons useless and fall apart
"ARGH! You little bastard!" they snarled as they tried to kill Bill but were unsuccessful.
"Leave...Or I'll kill you." Bill spoke protecting the elf girl.
They glared, and ran
Bill turned around and knelt at the girl "Are you alright Miss?" he asked kindly
"Y... Yes?" She sniffed
"Do you need a hand?" Bill asked
"Y-Yes please." the girl nodded
He nodded, wrapping his arms around her and helping her up
"What's your name?" Bill asked
"W-why?" the girl asked
"I can't just keep calling you "Miss", it's a bit insulting that I don't know your name." Bill answered
"I...I'm called Sachi." The elf girl answered
"Sachi...Okay, I'm going to get you out of here." Bill reassured her.
"I'll take you back to the Guild." He smiled
"Thank you..." Sachi spoke as she was escorted out of the alleyway
*time skip*
"Okay we're almost at the guild." Bill spoke still carrying Sachi
"Thank you." She whispered as they entered the room
"Bill? You're back early? What? Who's this? What happened?" Kurumu asked
"This is Sachi; I got her out of a situation." Bill answered "She was being attacked by a bunch of Adventurers." He replied, setting the girl down
"Bloody hell, are you alright Sachi?" Kurumu asked
"I...I am now..." Sachi nodded in agitation. "Thanks to him."
"I did what anyone would do." Bill answered
"No. You were amazing!" She smiled
"Ah well..." Bill smiled "You're too kind."
She smiled, hugging him
"Oh...Okay." Bill double-took but reciprocated the hug.
"Say... Sachi... What Familia are you part of?" Kurumu crowned
"I... Was part of the Hercules Familia." She muttered "But they kicked me out for being weak."
"...Why don't you join my Familia?" Bill offered
"Y-You'd have me in your Familia? A weakling?" Sachi teared up
"Of course." He smiled "You aren't weak anyway."
Sachi sniffed and hugged him tightly "Thank you!"
He was taken aback by the tackle, but smiled
"Ack! N-No problem...We just have to tell Ms Hera about you to join us." Bill spoke
"Ms Hera?"
"Yeah, I'm currently the only member of the Hera Familia." Bill answered
"Wow!"
"Looks like your Familia is growing Bill." Kurumu smiled
"Looks like it." Bill chuckled.
*with Hera*
"ACHOO! *Sniff* I wonder if Bill is talking about me...?" Hera thought as she tidied up
She shrugged, getting back to work
"Lady Hera, I'm back." Bill's voice spoke with a happy tone
"Bill? What're you doing here? I thought...Oh hello, who's this?" Hera asked
"I-I'm Sachi L-Lady Hera...and...IwishtojoinyourFamilia!" She spoke nervously and then spouted it out quickly.
"... What?" She asked from how fast she spoke
"I...Hmm..." Sachi blushed feeling embarrassed
"She wants to join our Familia!" Bill smiled
"Really?!" She gasped
"Yes, I...I'm weak...but I'm a hard worker. I want to help out." Sachi nodded
"I'm sure you're not weak." Hera smiled
"S-So then...You'll have me in the Familia?" Sachi smiled
"Of course." Hera put her hand on Sachi's shoulder with a kind smile
"THANK YOU!" She cheered, hugging her tightly
"ACK! Sachi...Choking...not breathing..." Hera spoke through the tight hug.
"Sorry!" She creamed, jumping back
"*Cough* it's alright...Now then...let's give you the initiation." Hera smiled clearing her throat.
"She was part of a Familia before, so she already has the markings." Bill pointed out
"Ah okay, let me just modify it for our Familia." Hera smiled
Sachi nodded, blushing as she reached down for her shirt
Bill turned around to avoid seeing Sachi half naked, he heard legends of Hera being jealous by Zeus's lovers...he didn't want to invoke her wrath.
Hera laughed softly at the sight, glad he was loyal as she placed her hands on Sachi's back
"Your hands are cold..." Sachi commented
"I've been working around the house." Hera answered
"It's very nice." Sachi answered
Hera raised her eyebrow at that, her hand getting warmer
"I meant the house...It's very nice." Sachi answered
"Oh...thank you very much." Hera smiled
"It's a shame I can't do more around here...But I keep the rent going, so that helps." Bill commented
"Tell me Sachi, what do you do?" Hera asked
"Well...I wanted to be...a warrior. Using a sword and shield, armour...But I wasn't very good." Sachi answered
"So what did you do?" Bill asked
"I...ran...I got yelled at a lot for being useless." Sachi answered
"Maybe you'd be good at support?" Hera offered
"Y-You'd let me be your support?" Sachi asked with a glow around her.
"Sure." Bill smiled
"And here we go. You're now a member of The Hera Familia." Hera smiled as she removed her hand "Here's your shirt."
"Thank you Lady Hera." Sachi pulled it on.
Bill sighed, turning around
"So...shall we try and get you ready for your first adventure with our Familia?" Hera asked
"Y... Yes My Lady." She nodded nervously
"Don't worry; I'll look after you as you look after me." Bill smiled
"Thanks." She smiled
"I have this bag here if you need anything; it's got some of my old things in if." Bill spoke
"Or you could go to the Guild and her starter supporter gear." Hera deadpanned
"Err...Yeah that too...Ha-ha..." Bill laughed awkwardly
*time skip*
"And finally a new bag...That should be it." Kurumu listed off the items she had given to Sachi.
"Th... Thank you." She gulped
"Ready to head down, Sachi?" Bill asked
"What about the Dungeon?" She asked
"I...That's what I meant..." Bill blushed
"Oh!" She gasped, blushing
"Hey Bill, when's your next day off?" Kurumu asked
"I get days off?" Bill asked
"Really?" Kurumu asked with a raised eyebrow
"This Thursday...Why?" Bill asked
"Then you and I are going shopping." She smiled, closing her eyes and resting her chin on her palm while her elbow was on the table "And you get days off when either: your Familia has a day off for say a party, or your Goddess is busy with Godly business such as a meeting of the gods."
"Err...Okay..." Bill gulped lightly
Kurumu winked at him as he left, Sachi following
*time skip*
"Are you okay? You blushed quite a bit back there." Sachi commented
"I... I'm fine." Bill nodded as they were on the first floor. Sachi needed to practise being support and Bill needed target practise, the reason he went to Dungeon today in the first place
"Okay, when we get into a fight...what do I do?" Sachi asked in worry, she wanted to make a good first impression.
"Use the cross bow if it looks like I'm having trouble, just distract them. Other than that: pick up any dropped items, gather the crystals after I've killed the monsters and warn me of any coming close." Bill said "Or any trying a sneak attack. We shouldn't have a problem with that on this floor though."
"Okay; Pick up: items and/or crystals; distract and/or stop any monsters. I've got it." Sachi repeated with a confidant nod.
"Good, most stuff here is a Giant Ant or something of the ilk. You'll do fine." Bill reassured her.
"Plus the first three or so floors will be for my bow training." He smiled, getting ready "Ready?"
"Ready." She nodded, readying her arm mounted crossbow
"I STILL think that's awesome." Bill smiled commenting on Sachi's arm-mounted crossbow.
"Thank you." She blushed
"Okay they usually come around here." Bill spoke pointing around a corner.
"Well... They usually SPAWN here." He corrected as red orbs began to 'grow' out if the walls, ants crawling out of the pods
"Yep, here we are." Bill sighed pulling his sword from his scabbard
"Yep, here we are..." Bill pulled his bow from his back and nocked an arrow into place.
With a frown he focused and aimed
The ants began to crawl in front of them, they clicked with their pincers but Bill fired an arrow through its mouth piercing its brain.
The ant squeaked before it shattered
'And THAT one was stationary.' Bill thought as he nocked another arrow aiming for another ant.
He quickly began to unleash arrows at a fairly fast rate
Though the arrows seemed to be stuck between the natural armour of the ants Bill was counting how many arrows he had left, he counted nine he had used.
He saw he missed three of four but the rest hit
'I REALLY need to practice more!' Bill thought as he reached back for his next arrow only to realize that he had run out.
'ALREADY?!'
The ants snapped at Bill, but Sachi tried to steady her hand to fire at the ants herself.
Her arrows hit and they died with squeals
"Nice job Sachi." Bill panted
"I...I...I did it...!" Sachi panted and smiled lightly.
She charged him and hugged him tightly, laughing happily
"Gah! Okay, okay Sachi...Yeah you did it." Bill chuckled reciprocating. "Come on, we've got crystals and arrows to pick up."
"Oops." She muttered, blushing and ran off to grab the stuff
"Good job Sachi." Bill whispered with a smile.
