Bill's Goddess Adventure
A: Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon Story
Chapter 19
With the two elf sisters out of the bath and beginning to dry themselves off, Sheik was still shaking and it wasn't from the cool air on her wet skin.
"Let me." Zelda smiled, drying her sister
"Thank you..." Sheik gave a light smile "Are...Are you okay?" Sheik asked
"Of course I am." Zelda answered drying her sister off
"What...what about Mas-" Sheik asked but was immediately interrupted
"Dead. He's dead." Zelda answered
"Dead?! H-How? I-I thought-!" Sheik panicked in shock
"Bill, the man who brought us here. He did it. After you were...were hurt...He ended him." Zelda answered
"No!" Sheik yelled, stumbling back
"Sheik, he hurt you! I saw and heard EVERYTHING he was going to do to us." Zelda tried to explain it to her sister.
"He... He can't be dead. Master can't be dead." Sheik muttered quietly to herself in shock
"He is...He can't hurt you anymore." Zelda answered
"But...But he was our Master." Sheik shuddered
"Sheik, he HURT you! He was going to hurt ME!" Zelda hugged her sister.
Sheik just shuddered. She knew she should be happy. But a voice in the back of her head was screaming in anger and sorrow
"Sheik...Please...Don't be mad...He was going to do...More horrible things to us." Zelda whispered
"I... I know." She cried
"Let it out...You don't have to protect me alone anymore...We'll look after each other...And Ms Hera's Familia will to." Zelda hushed her sister
Sheik just cried harder, holding her sister close
Outside the door, Hera heard everything...and her heart sank. How much torture did that creature do to Sheik? So, she gave a gentle knock on the door. "Sheik, Zelda; Sachi and I have made you lunch. It'll be on the living room table." Hera spoke kindly through the door.
"Thank you!" Zelda called softly
Hera smiled lightly and left the two alone as she went to find Sachi sitting outside looking up at the clouds. "Cloudy sky today..." Sachi commented
"Do you like cloudy days?" Hera asked kindly
"No...But...Cloudy days always have sun shining through." Sachi answered
Hera nodded out a sad smile
"How are Zelda and Sheik?" Sachi asked
"Still in the bathroom, they were talking about...the creature." Hera answered not giving notoriety to the man who hurt them
"It must be tough...Hell...That could've been me in another life." Sachi frowned
"But it's not...I fought in a war to end the enslavement of other races..." Hera answered "If the end went differently...We'd all be equal."
"Different?" Sachi asked
"... I wouldn't have failed." Hera sighed
"I'm sure you did your best." Sachi answered
"Yes...But my best, along with the other deities who were rallied to the cause; wasn't enough." Hera frowned "We failed. We missed the loopholes."
"Things will get better; people like Bill outweigh the people like those brothers from the pub." Sachi smiled
"Very true." Hera nodded happily, but slowly.
Sachi smiled and hugged her
"I wonder what Bill's doing now?" Hera thought.
*With Bill and Kurumu*
"Delicious!" Bill smiled, drinking soup
"Well, that was a delicious meal Billy." Kurumu spoke affectionately
"Ah well..." Bill blushed
"Bill!" Cersei called, walking over as she arrived home
"Cersei, how's it going?" Bill smiled with a wave.
"I'm fine; you know...considering." Cersei answered
"Considering?" Kurumu asked
"The other week. There were these people, from the Svarog Familia...made..."Comments" of a less than civil nature." Cersei answered
"Racists..." Kurumu gasped "I...I'm sorry."
"I thought Thor would have helped cheer you up." Bill frowned sadly
"She did...But I headed to the Familia home, not many people KNOW about...You know." Cersei answered
"Know about what?" Kurumu asked
"Err..." Bill looked at Cersei if he should say anything
"I...well...Am in a relationship with Lady Thor." Cersei answered
"I see." She nodded
"I take it you knew about this?" Kurumu asked Bill
"Well...Yeah. But I didn't want to "out" Cersei if she didn't want me too." Bill answered
"You're a good kid Bill." Cersei kissed the top of his head
"Ah, get off." Bill laughed
"And he's mine." Kurumu teased, hugging his arm
"Hey Bill I've been meaning to ask: Could you come to my sister's birthday party? It'd mean a lot to her." Cersei asked
"Of course. When is it?" Bill smiled
"It's the 1st of March. Shame it's a leap year this time round, she has to wait an extra day." Cersei laughed
"Err...the 1st?" Bill asked
"Yeah; oh it's not too short notice is it?" Cersei asked
"No, no it's fine. I'll tell the familia as well, see if they want to come." Bill smiled
"Oh good. Thanks." Cersei smiled as she kissed his head again and went to tell her sister.
"Bill, I saw that." Kurumu commented with a whisper
"I don't know what you mean." Bill answered as he seemed to shut close.
"Bill, I read your application; remember? I know your birth-date." Kurumu responded
"All the more reason to keep it hush-hush; I'm not going to interrupt Marcyl's birthday for my own." Bill rebutted
"You're a nice man Bill." She smiled, holding his hand
"Yeah...Oh snap...What does Marcyl like?" Bill smiled then the colour drained from his face.
*With Hera*
"Ah, good to see you two eating something." Hera smiled as she went inside seeing Zelda and Sheik now fully clothed and eating lunch.
Sheik nodded shyly, eating a bit faster
"Thank you for looking after us Ms Hera." Zelda spoke after gulping down her sandwich.
"Not at all." Hera smiled
"Yes... Thank you." Sheik nodded as she continued her meal
Hera nodded and wondered what was taking Bill so long.
As she thought that Bill and Kurumu arrived with a few shopping bags
"Hey all...Err...Need a hand here please." Bill spoke kindly
"Hmm?" Zelda and Sheik turned to see Bill and Kurumu.
"No-no; I've got this. This is an extensive amount of bags Bill." Hera commented
"Well, we had to get: bed clothes, underwear, toothbrushes, order beds for them." Kurumu answered
"Kurumu chose most of it." Bill added
"And Bill paid for it." Kurumu laughed
"Yeah, yeah..." Bill shook his head "Good afternoon; how're you feeling?" Bill asked Zelda and Sheik kindly.
"Better." Zelda smiled, Sheik bowing her head
"That's good. Well, we've got a LOT of clothes and personal items for you." Bill smiled
"Oh Bill, don't forget." Kurumu noted
"Oh thanks. It's Marcyl's birthday on March." Bill spoke
"Marcyl?" Sheik and Zelda asked
"Marcyl's birthday? Really?" Sachi popped up with a smile
"Yeah: the 1st." Bill nodded
"And...you need help picking a gift." Hera chuckled
"Well...I'm not sure what to give a teenage elf." Bill deadpanned
"Luckily, we have four elves that might have an idea." Hera laughed
"Err...Miss Hera...There are only two elves that you know." Sheik commented
"You two count as well. I'm not forgetting you." Hera smiled
"Y-You want to know what WE think?" Zelda asked
"Of course. You're living here; we want to know your opinion." Bill answered kindly
"Th-Thank you." Sheik smiled lightly
"Well...what does she like?" Sachi asked
"A..." Bill tried to think but then he realized: he doesn't know. "Dang it."
"She's an awesome cook; perhaps a new cookbook?" Kurumu suggested
"That could be seen as insulting her cooking skills." Hera pointed out "No guarantee but it COULD come across as that."
"...What if we get her some utensils?" Bill thought
"Again with items Bill?" Sachi teased, making her friend have a sweatdrop
"And again: might be seen as an insult." Hera responded
"Darn it..." Bill sighs
"How about a nice purse with food designs on it and a diary?" Sachi shrugged
"That...Might be a good present." Bill agreed
"Simple and can't be seen as you offending her." Zelda nodded "Maybe a personalised pen, a note pad and a knife to protect herself to round it out?"
"That sounds amazing." Hera smiled
"I mention utensils that might have included knives and get blown off; Zelda mentions it and she's praised? Ah! I'm wounded, I'm wounded!" Bill acted dramatically causing Sheik to giggle to herself.
"You are funny sir." She smiled, resting her head against his side
"I...That's okay; but I'm just "Bill", not a "sir"." Bill answered her kindly
"No...You're Sir Bill." Sachi teased
Bill rolled his eyes with a smile
"So Marcyl's birthday is the first of March, we've got a few weeks to get the gift...Do we get it within the week?" Sachi asked
"Why not now or tomorrow?" Zelda asked
"We've got your clothes and other stuff to give you." Kurumu answered handing over a bag of clothes to Sheik
"Th-Thank you Miss." Sheik bowed
"Yeah...why what's wrong?" Bill asked
"That's YOUR birthday!" She replied
"No it's not." Bill answered trying to dodge the comment
"Yes, yes it is." Hera answered
"How can you not celebrate your birthday?" Sachi asked
"MY birthday is UNUSUAL." Bill responded
"Is...Is your birthday...?" Sheik began to ask
"I celebrate my birthday, WHEN my birthday comes around. BUT it's Marcyl's birthday first." Bill answered
"We are celebrating at home." Hera ordered lightly
"Oh...Okay..." Bill nodded
"So, what do you want for your birthday?" Sachi asked
"I...haven't really thought about it." Bill answered
"We'll think of something." Hera smiled
"Wait...so your birthday is...February 29th?" Sheik asked kindly
"Yes...Yes it is. Which means I'm YOUNGER than Marcyl." Bill chuckled "But in the mean time, let's give YOU TWO your stuff."
"Your birthday's the day before but you're older by a few years." Sachi pointed out, laughing at Bill's silliness
"AH...But my birthday only turns up every four years. So...I'm still youngest." Bill debated back still flowing with the silliness. "Here you are Sheik; here you are Zelda." He passed over two bags to the girls.
"Thank you sir." Sheik whispered
"Thank you." Zelda smiled
"Hey, it's no problem." Bill smiled
"Do you mind if I stay for this?" Kurumu asked kindly
"Of course not." Hera smiled
"Where can we get changed?" Sheik asked
"The bathroom or my room." Sachi answered
"Thank you." Zelda smiled as they went to the rooms
She held her sisters arm, helping her
"Thank you Sir." Sheik spoke kindly as they left
"Do you think they'll like the clothes?" Bill asked
"I hope so." Kurumu nodded
*with the sisters*
"They shouldn't have done this." Sheik whispered to herself
"What're you talking about? These are gifts." Zelda reassured her
"I...I don't deserve these...I'm just a Kn-" Sheik began to verbally hurt herself
"DON'T! Don't say that Sheik...PLEASE. You're NOT...What HE said. You're not." Zelda answered almost crying and held her sister's shoulders
Sheik just cried as well, hugging her sister
"Come on, come on...We...We're okay...They...they're good people. They've given us a place to live and clothes." Zelda whispered "How...how about we take this one step at a time?"
"See you soon Kitten." Felicia smiled, ending the recording... And then pulling her daughter into a deep kiss
Sheik nodded weakly
