Bill's Goddess Adventure

A: Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon Story

Chapter 22

It was the week of Bill's and Marcyl's birthday and the Familia was worried on what to get Bill. Hera had already decided on what to give him, but Sheik, Zelda and Sachi were still having trouble deciding what to get him.

Sheik and Zelda especially since they didn't know Bill as well

And as for Sheik, she WAS getting better; opening up about her feelings, being close to her sister, sleeping in...being treated as an equal after so long. It was refreshing to say the least.

She normally held herself occasionally

"Are you okay sis?" Zelda asked kindly

"I'm fine...I just wish we could figure out what to get Sir Bill and Ms Marcyl." Sheik answered

"Same." Sachi sighed

"We could ask Ms Hera and Ms Alicia...they might have some ideas. I mean they mentioned the knives for Marcyl." Zelda thought.

"Good idea." Sheik smiled softly

"But what sort of knife?" Zelda wondered

"Throwing knives?" Sachi shrugged

"Daggers?" Sheik suggested

"Cutlery?" Zelda added

At that Sachi and Sheik gave her a 'you have got to be kidding' look

"It's just a thought." Zelda answered

"Let's go and find Ms Alicia in the market. She might have some idea." Sheik sighed

"Do you think Bill might want to come?" Sachi asked

The three looked outside and Bill was practicing with his throwing knives...without his shirt on.

The three blinked and started blushing

"Still to slow..." Bill talked to himself as he pulled the knives out from the dummy. He threw a bucket of water onto himself to cool himself off.

'Oh sweet merciful mother!' the three elf girls blushed

And standing in the doorway... Was a drooling Hera and Kurumu

"Are you enjoying the sight too?" Sachi asked quickly turning to Hera and Kurumu

"Oh yeah..." the two drooled

"Huh?" Bill asked, looking over his shoulder

"What're you looking at?" Bill called out seeing the girls staring at him.

"Err, no." they responded looking away from him.

"Right..." Bill rolled his eyes.

He got his knives out of the dummy again, getting ready

"What're you trying to do?" Sachi asked still entranced by Bill's torso.

"Training...I need to get faster and stronger. If we're to get through that boss...I need to pull my weight." Bill answered "I need to be able to beat the boss near solo, with your help of course." He smiled

Sachi nodded slowly as the girls just continued to gaze at him

"Want to practice?" Bill offered

"No...No I'm good." Sachi answered

They nodded, the elf girls walking away nervously

'I wonder what was up with them?' Bill thought.

He shrugged, looking over to his blushing lovers

"Are you two okay? You've been there for a while." Bill commented

"Just enjoying the view babe!" Kurumu called happily

"Oh...Well..." Bill blushed "I-I'm not much to see."

"Bill, don't doubt yourself." Hera frowned

"Yeah...But I've still a ways to go." Bill answered 'Being honest...I'm not only doing this just for my adventuring.' He thought with a blush. 'I want to be able to make them happy.'

"Kurumu, I've got to ask: do you have anything for Bill's Birthday?" Hera asked

"Yes I do." She nodded

"Oh, excellent; I hope he likes mine just as well." Hera smiled "Out of curiosity, did you get anything for Marcyl?"

"I do not know her well so I was going to give her Valis so she could get what she wanted." Kurumu admitted

"Ah...I understand." Hera nodded "I can't believe Bill is a Leap Year Baby, it's rare to be born on that day."

"It is, I couldn't believe it myself when he applied." Kurumu added "I wonder when Bill and I would have a baby." Kurumu sighed softly, dreamily

"B-Baby?!" Hera blushed "Who say's YOU'RE gonna have his child?" she snapped

"Well you can't have it." Kurumu shrugged

"Wanna bet?" Hera glared

"You're still married, remember." Kurumu sighed "This isn't a competition."

"I-...You're right...Still...It would've been nice..." Hera spoke then whispered thinking of holding another baby in her arms.

Kurumu nodded and hugged her

Bill overheard what Hera and Kurumu were talking about and he admitted he was blushing bright, he DID care for both Kurumu and Hera and the thought of starting a family WAS now on his mind...He dropped his knives

"Bill?" They asked

"Err...Huh? Y-Yeah?" Bill gulped as he realised his knives were on the floor.

"You okay?" Kurumu asked in concern

"I-I erm, yeah. Why-why wouldn't I be, I mean...It's a nice day, I'm training...Y-You're talking about kids...Yeah I'm great." Bill rambled on whispering the kids section to himself while the rest was spoken normally.

But both of his girlfriend's heard it

"He DID hear us!" Hera blushed, whispering to Kurumu

"Damn." Kurumu flinched lightly

"I hope he's not mad at us." Hera gulped

"Doubt it." Kurumu smiled

'Kids...I...I haven't even...THOUGHT about kids yet...' Bill thought in a fluster. 'But... A family.'

Hera looked at Bill who was still blushing. 'He must be worried.'

Looking at Kurumu and nodding the two walked over and hugged Bill

"Hmm!" Bill blushed and hummed in surprise and then happiness. "Th-Thank you."

"Welcome." They smiled

*with the elf girls*

"It's got to be illegal to be that good looking." Sachi whispered to both Zelda and Sheik.

"Agreed." They nodded, the three down town and giggling

"So...Bill's and Marcyl's gifts...What ARE we going to get? We're running out of time." Sachi thought

The two shrugged, unsure

"Maybe there's something around here...Maybe Koin has something." Sachi thought

"Do you think giving her a weapon is the best idea?" Sheik asked

"I'm sure he makes cutlery." Sachi answered

"Well, let's go and ask him." Zelda smiled

The three nodded, entering the tower

As they saw the hustle and bustle of the shop keepers one particular dwarf was getting some attention. "Huh? Is Koin's shop...Busy?" Sachi double blinked

"It looks like it." Zelda answered

"P-Please, one at a time!" Koin spoke as several adventurers gave in orders.

"Koin!" Zelda called

"Oh. Hello! Ex-excuse me...Please, I-I need to-" Koin tried to get through but was struggling as he was being flooded with orders

"SHUT UP!" Sachi roared, making Koin's stall go quiet.

"... Wow." Zelda whispered

"Thank you." Koin smiled weakly

"No problem. Now, as the patron said: ONE at a time!" Sachi answered

They all nodded nervously, getting in a line

"Need a hand Koin?" Sachi asked

"Well...I wouldn't say "no". Thank you." Koin smiled

Sachi smiled at that, nodding

*Some time later*

"And here's your Dwarf-Make Dagger. Thank you, come again." Koin spoke exchanging the weapon for money.

"Thanks." The patron smiled and left

"Wow...that took forever." Zelda spoke

"Yeah...Yeah it did." Sheik nodded

Koin nodded with a sigh and a smile

"So, what can I do for you girls?" Koin smiled

"... I honestly don't remember why we were here." Sachi giggled

Zelda and Sheik anime fell from both exhaustion and disbelief. "We're here to get Bill and Marcyl birthday presents."

"Oh right. So what're you looking for?" Koin asked "Necklaces, knives?"

"Both?" They shrugged

"We aren't exactly sure." Zelda explained

"Hmm...Fair enough. Well, I've made a pair of domestic knives and an engraved locket necklace." Koin answered

"How much?" Sachi asked

"If it's for Bill and Marcyl, it's free. You've done enough of me already." Koin smiled "Plus you helped me all day."

"Oh thanks Koin." Sachi smiled as she saw the knives.

The knives were silvery, but the handles themselves were made from a black metal with chased silver, engraved like veins of silver in a mountain's dark walls.

The necklaces lockets were small elongated octagons; it was made of a grey wood with the same black metal for its clasp and fixtures. The chain was made from finely linked steel that could easily wrap twice around a neck.

"What's with the long chains?" Sheik asked kindly

"It's for people with thicker necks or if they want to wear them as bracelets." Koin explained

"That's good." Zelda nodded

"We'll see you around. Okay?" Sachi smiled

"Sure, when's Bill's birthday? I'll close the shop for then." Koin smiled

"29th." Sheik explained

"Th-The 29th? Their birthdays are the 29th?" Koin asked in shock

"Yeah. Why? It's not a dwarven holiday or celebration or something?" Sheik asked

"It's just...The 29th is an unusual date." Koin answered

"We know." The three nodded

"Well, I'll close shop for that day. I'll come around." Koin smiled

"Thanks buddy." Sachi smiled

The others gave small thanks before they left
