Bill's Goddess Adventure
A: Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon Story
Chapter 14
It was an hour later; Hera, Bill and Sachi were walking to Hades' and Persephone's home. Bill was a bit worried about meeting other Gods and Hades was the Lord of the Dead.
He gulped, pulling his collar
"Bill, will you relax? Hades isn't a bad brother." Hera reassured him
"He IS the Lord of The Dead...I can't help BUT feel nervous." Bill answered
"Yea." Sachi nodded in agreement
"Listen: once you get to know him, you'll see he isn't a bad guy." Hera defended her brother.
"I'm sure." Bill nodded
As they arrived they noticed that the home was like a Gothic Cathedral with: gargoyles, grotesques, dogs, and spirits adorning the outer decoration but they each held beautiful flora within each of the mouths and hands; it looked like it was a compromise of Hades' darkness and Persephone's beauty.
"See, it's not so bad." Hera answered
"It...Looks...Nice..." Sachi gulped feeling a sense of dread from the statues
"It was originally my brothers' home, but he's adapted well with Persephone being with him." Hera answered
"... Still kinda 'piss your pants' looking." Bill gulped before his eyes widened, finally remembering this morning as his thoughts drifted to Kurumu 'Crap! I forgot to talk to Lady Hera about that!'
With a smile Hera knocked on the door which alerted the denizens of the home.
"Hera!" Persephone cheered before she hugged her friend and sister-in-law
"Hello Persephone, I'd like to introduce you to my Familia: Bill and Sachi. Bill, Sachi; this is my sister-in-law: Persephone." Hera explained
"It is nice to finally meet the rumoured Hera Familia." Persephone smiled
"It's good to meet you Lady Persephone." Bill bowed
"You're home is...quite lovely." Sachi tried to find the right words.
"Thank you. It was very hard to remodel my husbands' old design." She smiled, sighing at the end
"So you worked around it." Bill surmised
"Yes; please come in, I'll get the kettle on." Persephone smiled
"Oh, thank you very much Lady Persephone." Sachi smiled
Hera quickly hugged her sister-in-law once more before they all went inside
Inside they saw a bountiful amount of fruits and flowers on the decorations "Spring decorations?" Bill commented
"Almost, it's the last day of February and of winter; so I can return to my mother Demeter. I'm just leaving my husband a kind gift." Persephone smiled
'Oh yeah...it IS that day isn't it?' Bill thought "I guess he must be grateful for all this hard effort."
"He is." She nodded "But he's also sad I need to go at all."
"So, he doesn't want to be on his own; I get that." Sachi nodded.
"Exactly, but at the same time it's nice having company." Persephone walked into the living room where her husband was waiting patiently. He had a pale complexion and coal black eyes to parallel the tone of his skin. His clothes were formal but comfortable: a dark ruby red coat over a black shirt and black trousers. He was a giant to say the least, but he seemed to be a gentle and soft-spoken giant. "Hello my dear."
"Persephone..." Hades spoke kindly, but at the same time he spoke with an authoritative tone "Hera, wonderful to see you again; and you've brought guests."
"Hello brother, yes, they are my Familia: Bill and Sachi." Hera introduced them kindly
"Lord Hades...It's an honour to be welcomed into your home." Bill bowed
"As it is for me." Sachi curtsied
"Oh...this...is unusual..." Hades shook his head in shock
"What is?" Bill asked
"Not many people bowed to us as Gods...It...It's quite nice." Hades smiled
"Really?" Bill asked
"Not many people found comfort in my work...so I was almost exiled as a God, but my work was important." Hades answered "Would you care for a drink?"
"I've got it My Love. You keep our company occupied." Persephone kissed his cheek.
"Of course." He nodded with a smile
"Please, sit. So Hera, your Familia are quite respectful; rare for these days." Hades spoke kindly
"Yes they are." Hera smiled
"How long have you been with my sister?" Hades asked as he took in the appearance of both Sachi and Bill.
"A few months? Half a year?" Bill shrugged
"Ah..." Hades nodded "And you my dear?"
"About half that time." Sachi answered
"I see." Hades nodded 'This boy...he looks...familiar...'
"Tea's up." Persephone called out as she walked in with the drinks.
"Oh thank you." Hera smiled
"Thank you." Bill smiled
"Thank you Lady Persephone." Sachi took the drink
"Thank you My Dear. Bill, may I ask you something?" Hades asked
"Sure, I guess." Bill nodded
"What drew you to my sister as her Familia?" Hades asked
"I wasn't drawn to her. She found me and asked me to join." He smiled
"Ah...I see. And you Sachi, what brought you into the family?" Hades asked
"Bill, he saved me...and gave me a new home." She answered
Hades nodded, humming
"What about you Lord Hades? Do you have a Familia?" Bill asked innocently
"No." He shook his head "I do not want one."
"Why not? I don't mean to pry." Bill asked
"Fair enough." Bill nodded
'This boy...' Hades thought 'He's not bad...I doubt he even knows...'
"Is everything okay?" Hera asked
"Hmm? Oh yes, just lost in a thought." Hades answered
"You've been lost in your thoughts for a while, is there anything you want to tell us?" Persephone asked kindly
"Nothing...nothing at all." Hades smiled
"Hades." She frowned
"You remind me of someone who I met long ago. You have a similar face." Hades confessed.
"I...look like someone you met before?" Bill questioned
"Yes." He nodded
"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Bill asked
"It's...something. That's all." Hades answered
"O...okay?"
*time skip*
"Thank you for having us, Hades." Hera smiled
"It was nice having company." Hades smiled
"It was a nice time." Bill added
"Yea, thank you." Sachi smiled
"We might see you again?" Hera asked
"Please, it will be welcomed." Hades smiled as they left; but as soon as they were out of ear and eye shot Hades' face frowned and walked inside
"NOW can you explain to me WHY you were staring at Bill?" Persephone asked
We might see you again?" Hera asked
"Please, it will be welcomed." Hades smiled as they left; but as soon as they were out of ear and eye shot Hades' face frowned and walked inside
"NOW can you explain to me WHY you were staring at Bill?" Persephone asked
"Bill...He looks like...that man from years ago; The "Woman's Conqueror"." Hades answered
"That...makes sense. Bill DOES look like him and that man DID father a number of children..." Persephone nodded
"Should we tell him?" Hades asked
"Tell him what? Hi Bill sorry to say this but your father is the mortal equivalent of Zeus in the sex department?" Persephone answered "He's lived without a father all his life, thinking he was a great adventurer...It'd crush him to learn the truth."
"... True." Hades nodded
"I only have a few hours till I return to my mother..." Persephone spoke kindly "Maybe we could..."
"Spend it together...I would love nothing more than that..." Hades kissed his wife tenderly.
She smiled, cupping his cheeks lovingly
*With the Hera Familia*
"They were nice." Sachi smiled
"I told you...Is everything alright Bill?" Hera nodded then turned her attention to her favourite.
"Huh? Oh yeah, they were a lovely couple...I'm just wondering about something." Bill admitted
"Don't you start; we've had enough of that from Lord Hades." Sachi commented
"I know, I know...but the way he looked at me...It's like he KNEW something about me...from my past maybe...Or someone he knew that I don't. I dunno...maybe I'm just paranoid or...maybe I have one of those faces." Bill admitted
Hera frowned, hugging him
"It'll be alright Bill." Hera reassured him
"I hope so." Bill nodded
He hugged her back, rubbing her back
"... We forgot to hand in our crystals and talk to Kurumu again." Sachi realised
"...Damn it!" Bill half shouted
"We'll get them on the way back home." Hera sighed shaking her head at the two.
"Okay." They both nodded
*Back at the Alchemists' lab*
"Have you got it?" Sheik asked her sister as they were sneaking out with the money as the Alchemist slept, being an old man they knew he would be tired around this time
"Here, every Valis." Zelda nodded
"Good." Sheik nodded
"Okay, let's give this money to The Guild." Sheik spoke as they carried off the Valis to said location.
*back with the Hera Familia*
"Okay, these should be it." Bill spoke as he put his crystal filled bag on his back.
"Yep; mine too." Sachi nodded
A few moments later large bags of Valis where passed through the drawer
"Here we are sir and madam." the teller spoke
"Thanks." Bill smiled and took the money
"Wow, this is a lot." Sachi smiled
"Bill!" Kurumu called, dressed in casual clothing as she ran towards them
"Ah, Ms Kurumu...Good, I wanted to talk to you." Bill spoke.
"I guessed." She smiled, cocking her hip lightly as she saw Hera "Sorry but my shifts over, so we can't talk in the private room."
"Well why don't we talk here? Or back at our home?" Bill suggested
"Your place." She nodded with a smile
"Okay then." Hera nodded
"Excuse us please." a girl elf's voice spoke softly
"Huh? Oh sorry...wait...aren't you the elves from the Alchemist's?" Bill asked
"Here." The second elf said, the two holding bags of Valis "These belong to you...the money from the slime." the second elf girl spoke
"Oh, thank you." Bill smiled, taking the money
"Why didn't you give it to them back at the store?" Hera asked seriously.
"Our Master was trying to scam him." The older sister bowed a bit
"Then why didn't you say anything?" Bill asked
"Well..." Zelda looked away
"You're slaves...aren't you?" Kurumu asked
"Wait...Slaves?" Bill asked in shock
"Some elves sell themselves as slaves to help their family." Hera explained
"Not even I could have imagined that..." Bill admitted.
"Some had no choice." Kurumu explained with a frown
"S-Sir...We apologize for our Master's scam...Please accept our apology." Zelda spoke with a bow
"... I accept your apology." Bill nodded
"Yeah...same here. You can't go against your master..." Sachi added
"Th-Thank you Miss." Sheik answered
"Now go, go back." Bill waved "I don't want you to be hurt because of this."
"Thank you sir. You're very kind." the sisters bowed and left for their master. As they left Bill gave a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Kurumu asked
"Slaves...Just...I don't like it." Bill answered honestly
"No one does. Which is why nice people don't take slaves." Kurumu sighed "The elves don't have a choice, it is their last resort. But since nice people see it as wrong they don't buy them making the Elves HAVE to be bought by bastards like whoever their master is."
"Is it the same for other races?" Bill asked sadly
"It is; I can't change the law on that subject anymore than I can change the laws of magic." Kurumu sighed
'Magic doesn't have set laws.' Hera thought.
Soon they arrived at the Hera Familia home, Hera letting Kurumu in
"You've done well for a few months here." Kurumu commented happily seeing their home.
It was repainted and refurbished
"Well...I've had time on my hands." Hera answered
Kurumu nodded... And kissed Hera
"HMM?" Hera blushed
"Does anyone want...buwah...?" Bill came in asking if people wanted drinks, then saw Kurumu and Hera kissing and deadpanned
He was about to say something, blinking, but once his eyes where open the girl was gone
"I like Bill." Kurumu said as she broke the kiss "And you are very nice. I don't mind sharing, it is your choice."
"I...err..." Hera blushed "I...like Bill too...But...I've never..."
"Like I said: it's your choice." Kurumu smiled
"..." Bill's face was frozen in shock and awe, the goddess he loved and the elf he dated were on about sharing him.
"I...I'd like that." Hera smiled lightly "It's...something I'd like to try..."
"Plus it means that it is YOUR choice with how loyal Bill is." Kurumu nodded
"..." Bill continued in shock
"Oh, Bill...How...how long have you been there?" Hera asked
"Since I kissed you."
"Kurumu, you KNEW?!" Hera blushed
Bill and Kurumu nodded, Bill albeit a bit slower. "So...What do you think Ms Hera? You DID say you would like this form of relationship." Kurumu smiled
She blushed, looking down
"Whatever you feel comfortable with Lady Hera...I'll back you up." Bill spoke snapping back to reality.
"Thank you." She smiled
"Well, looks like we've got confirmation from our boyfriend." Kurumu teased
Hera sighed... And then deeply kissed Kurumu
"...!" Bill's face was frozen again, but in his mind he was getting aroused.
"That enough of an answer?" Hera asked, breaking the kiss
"Yesh..." Kurumu blushed and almost melted away.
"We... We have to keep quiet about this." Bill gulped as he calmed himself back
"Yes...I believe that's the best course of action." Hera nodded then kissed Bill "Sorry, I thought you were owed one."
Bill nodded with a smile
"Have you gotten anywhere with them Bill?" Sachi asked teasingly.
"Huh?"
"Any making out or not?" Sachi poked her head from around the corner of the door
"Sachi...!" Bill grumbled
