Bill's Goddess Adventure
A: Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon Story
Chapter 32
It was about a month later, Bill and his group were coming back from a dangerous task from down in the Dungeons
"Hopefully we can really turn that old building into a home soon." Bill smiled
"It's already a home." Sachi smiled. "It's our family."
"I mean freshen the place up." Bill chuckled "Get better beds and insulation and stuff."
"Yeah...we still need to get that sorted out." Sachi had an embarrassed sweatdrop.
"You still haven't done that yet?" Matt asked
"Kinda...Wait; YOU can't talk. How long was it until your familia's home got renovated?" Bill asked
"A while." Matt admitted
"Case in point." Bill nodded
"But to be fair, my familia's place doesn't need it." He admitted
"Err...You got me there." Bill answered
"Two point!" He smirked
"Shut up." Bill shoved his friend playfully with a smile as they arrived back to the Hera Familia home.
"See you later." The two waved, leaving Sachi and Bill
"See ya." The two waved
"How're you doing?" Sachi asked
"Fine...Still...Finding it hard to know about my brothers and such." Bill answered
Sachi nodded, smiling a bit
The two of them arrived back to their Familia's Home. "We're back." Bill spoke as they walked in
"Hello." Hera smiled, drying her hands
"Hey, been busy?" Sachi asked as they put their weapons and loot down.
"Well, you can rest now. I'll start making dinner." Bill spoke as he was going to get ready.
"Oh, you don't have to. Zelda and Sheik have got that planned." Hera responded
"But I want to." He smiled, kissing her
"Oh...Alright." Hera answered, seeing him go to the kitchen
'I just can't say no to him sometimes.' Hera thought
"Are you alright, Lady Hera?" Sachi asked
"Hmm? Oh, yes...Yes, I'm fine." She responded
"Don't worry you two, I got dinner." Bill assured
"You're a wonder, Bill." Hera smiled
"Hey girls." Bill smiled as he came in
"Hi, Bill." The girls responded
He gently urged them away, taking their place cooking
"Oh." Sheik looked on
"You're taking our place?" Zelda asked
"Yeah, of course. You two and Lady Hera do so much for us." Bill answered. "I just wanted to return the favour."
The two blushed bit smiled lightly and relented
"Don't get any monster blood in the dishes." Zelda teased
"That's only happened once." Bill chuckled as he began to cook
"What about..." Sheik started
"Twice and we are leaving it at that." He deadpanned
The twins laughed and headed out of the kitchen, seeing Sachi talking with Hera.
They smiled, oh so happy to finally have a family again
"Have you heard from Lupe?" Zelda asked
"She's doing well with the Artemis Familia. She's found her place there." Sachi answered
"That's good." Hera smiled
"How far into the dungeons did you go?" Zelda asked
"The 20th. We couldn't go further after that." Sachi answered. "Well we COULD but we didn't bring any camping gear."
"We're going to need a storage room for all this stuff." Hera laughed
"Dinner's ready!" Bill called with a smile
"Hold the monster blood." Sachi giggled
"Oh, ha-ha!" Bill responded sarcastically
*Time Skip*
It was later that night, Bill smiled as he lay in bed with Hera and Kurumu as they prepared to sleep
"Here we go." Bill sighed happily, as he sheathed Hera's Glory, his sword that was forged by Hephaestus and named after his Goddess.
He placed it next to the bed, smiling down at the two
"Sharpening your blade again?" Kurumu asked
"Yeah." Bill nodded
"It doesn't need it. It'll never dull." Hera answered
"It's second nature for me. Looking after my sword. But...It won't take precedence over you both." Bill responded as they kissed.
"Good night." The women smiled and nodded off
"Good night...Love you." Bill sighed and slid between them.
"I love you both." He whispered with a smile
"Love you too." They answered, hugging him as they slept
*Time Skip*
Morning rolled around and the Hera Familia were waking up.
They all smiled, expecting to sleep peacefully
But unfortunately...
BOOM!
Their front door was being pursued upon. Smashing and crashing their home in.
"What?!" Bill yelled
The door was being siege upon. Crashing in. Though the magic was protecting it, it was going to break soon.
"Wh-what's happening?" Kurumu asked
"Get out. NOW!" Bill ordered, thinking of them. "Get the twins and get out!"
"BILL!" Sachi called out
"I'm coming!" Bill answered, grabbing Hera's Glory and headed out.
He soon reached her room, adrenaline shooting through his body
"What's happening?" Bill asked as Sachi was holding her sword and bow.
"I-I don't know. Someone's attacking our home!" Sachi panicked, frozen in place
"We have to go. NOW!" Bill ordered urging to protect her.
Sachi nodded, the two ran
Their home was crumbling under their feet, blasts of magic bombarded their home, through the building and hit the walls as they ducked and weaved through the crumbling home.
The group stumbled out of their home, dirty and scared while also confused
"Is everyone alright?" Bill asked as the dust settled.
Each gave their answer, but they were still confused who did this.
"Quick, hide!" Sachi spoke as she heard people coming towards them.
The group looked around, trying to find a place to hide and barley dodging the people following them
Bill gave a quick glance behind him and saw an arrow whiz passed his head, grazing his cheek. "GAH! Keep running!" He called out
"Go!" He yelled he had to keep them safe! They had to move!
"We're running away from town!" Zelda called out
"What do we do?" Sheik asked
"Just run!"
They soon came to the end of the forest, in a large collection of ruins. "We have to hide." Kurumu spoke
"But...We-we can't-" Sheik spoke, holding Zelda.
"We'll be close, just hide." Bill spoke, turning back to see that people were coming to find them.
"I promise it will be okay." He soothed
"A-Alright." The women nodded and began to hide.
Bill nodded, letting the others hide while he stood protectively
He swallowed his fear and waited for the figures to troop out of the forest...and they were all from a single Familia...Zeus'.
"No." Hera mumbled
"Shh." Kurumu hushed her.
"Stay down." Bill hushed the twins.
"Where are they?" Some of the Familia asked
"They couldn't have gotten far." Another spoke
The Familia members where clearly angry and where storming around
"Father will be angry...If we can't find them-" One spoke
"Don't even mention what he'll do. We ALL know the consequences." Another answered
'Zeus you bastard.' Hera thought angrily
"...Hera Familia? Come on out. You've nowhere to run." One of them called out.
"Move quietly." Bill whispered quieter than anyone could hear
The familia nodded and began to walk off, trying not to make noise or cause shadows. They stuck to the walls and dodged any windows or holes to not make shadows.
They moved all night, soon the sun rising
"Our home...Gone..." Shiek wept as they wandered through the ruins.
"I can't believe he did that...NO Familia should be able to do that." Kurumu tried to wrack her brains around this
She had to tell her work about that!
"What're we going to do?" Sachi asked sadly.
"... I don't know." Bill admitted
"We have to head back. Get Ms Kurumu to her work." Zelda added.
"We need to get safe as well. Damn you, Zeus." Bill growled
Hera was silent, slipping away unnoticed by the others
She held herself as she wandered out of the way, trying to understand WHY Zeus would attack now...
But she could fix this.
*Time skip, with Bill*
Bill was holding his blade close...keeping an eye one everyone. "Wait...where...Where's Lady Hera? Has anyone seen her?"
The group blinked, looking around
"She...She couldn't have...slipped out back at the ruins." Kurumu spoke
"That must be where we lost her." Sachi gasped
"Oh no!" Bill gasped
Bill turned back on himself and was going to head into the ruins to find her.
"Bill, wait!" Sachi called out
"Get them back to the town. I'll be back." Bill answered
"Bill, I'm not leaving you alone!" Sachi frowned
"Sachi...Damn it..." Bill whispered. "...How many arrows do you have?" He asked
"All of them." she smiled lightly
"Good. We're going to need them all." Bill answered. "Get ready to defend."
Sachi nodded, the two running off
*with Hera*
Little did Bill or Sachi know, Hera was not at the ruins. No. She was standing in front of what looked like a giant palace.
The home of the Zeus Familia
'Please listen to reason, Zeus.' She thought, trying to compose herself as she was still wearing her pyjamas.
But at the same time, she was basically giving him what he wanted. But she had to protect them, her Familia. As their Goddess, they were all that mattered
"State your name." A guard Familia ordered
"Hera...Zeu...Zeus' wife." She answered
The guard gasped and ran inside
Hera held herself in shame...she didn't WANT to do this...but it had to be done. For the ones she loved. Her Familia.
For her Bill
"This way. Please." The guard spoke, leading her inside.
The two walked at a quick pace, Hera saw that the home was large and almost godly. Women were here, holding their bellies and talking about their future children. They were wearing pregnancy garbs while they were here, Hera had an inkling that Zeus' infidelity didn't stop after she left him.
Soon they arrived at a throne room, seeing Zeus sit highly in his throne with an empty one, less fancy, beside him.
Hera frowned, looking at her husband
"My Lord. Hera from her Familia." The guard spoke
"Ah...Welcome, Hera..." Zeus smiled lustfully and almost evilly.
'Hmm.' Hera flinched a bit but bowed. "Lord Zeus."
"Hardly fitting of a Goddess to visit me in their pyjamas...Though I can't say that I don't like it." He smirked
"It's not like your Familia just destroyed my home." She frowned
"What can I say? So...Are you asking me to stop their assault?" He asked
"You DID attack your WIFE'S Familia." She frowned "Most would see that as an obvious thing to do."
"Very well. I'll call them back. IF..." Zeus spoke
"Don't try to be dramatic dear, it doesn't suit you." Hera frowned "Just get to it." She walked up the stairs with a frown "But even then, I know what you want. I won't leave your side again." She said bitterly, sitting in the plane throne next to him
"Good." He smiled and stroked his beard. Snapping his fingers and got a swift-footed elf girl to race in. "Tell the party to stop looking for the Hera Familia...It's over." He answered
"At once." The pretty elf bowed before she ran away
"...Is she yours?" Hera asked as she swallowed her pride.
"She's my Familia; if that's what you're asking?" Zeus answered
"Y-Yes of course. That...that's what I meant." She nodded, retracting into herself.
But she knew it was a lie
That girl was most likely his daughter.
"So...Back by my side." Zeus smiled, looking at her
"Yes." She nodded with a frown "After you destroyed my home." She reminded
"Semantics, semantics. A king is nothing without his queen." Zeus answered
Hera sighed, depression filling her. But it was the sacrifice she had to make
*With the others, weeks later*
Kurumu had told her superiors about what had happened, Hera going missing, the Hera Familia home in ruins...And Bill going deeper into his grief. He felt like he had failed his Familia...Failed his love.
While Sachi and he where still allowed into the dungeon to get more money to support all of them, without Hera to provide their growth they were not allowed deeper than before. And to the fact they were worried about Hera, they did not spend much time in there to search for her
And it was difficult, Bill wasn't getting enough sleep...He was running ragged.
He was determined to find her
"Have you seen Lady Hera?" He asked tiredly to a stranger.
"Sorry." The stranger replied
Again Bill repeated the question to another, the same reply.
"Bill...Please, stop. You're going to kill yourself." Sachi frowned
"She could be hurt!" He argued
"And you're nothing but bone at this point! You look like death! When we find her, we don't want to lose YOU!" Sachi answered
"Sachi... Okay." Bill grumbled
"Let's...Head to Alicia's...Maybe...she's heard something. At least we'll get something to eat and drink." Sachi answered
Bill nodded, letting her lead him away
'Lady Hera...PLEASE be alright.' Bill thought as he gripped his chest.
The two soon arrived at the pub and sat down, the place fairly quiet
"Hello again." Marcyl spoke as she saw her friends and favourite customers.
"Hey...Marcyl." Bill waved gently, though he felt fatigued.
She smiled, giving Bill a massive serving on the house
"Wh-Whoa...I...This is too much." Bill spoke in shock
"No way. You're thin...and you need to keep up your strength. Both of you do." Marcyl answered
"Thank you." Sachi smiled
"Eat up, I'll get you refills when you need them." Marcyl answered
"She's really grown." Sachi spoke
"She has...Hard to believe that she was giving me box lunches for the dungeons." Bill reminisced
"You are her big brother figure." Sachi encouraged
That was when Cersei walked in, right for Bill and Sachi with a serious look on her face
"Cersei, what've you found?" Bill asked, knowing that look.
"It took Lady Thor a lot of searching, she actually used some favours people owed her to find this. She is... Lady Hera is... She is at the Zeus Familia home, back by Zeus' side." Cersei explained bitterly "She basically sacrificed herself so his Familia would stop attacking you."
Bill's heart broke when he heard this...She did this for them and fell to the floor in shock.
"No!" He whispered darkly
"What're we going to do? We can't just go through the front door." Sachi spoke.
"We will." He snarled
"Bill, we're not going now. You're still weak." Sachi spoke
But blinked, seeing him eating hungrily
"Wow...That...That boy's got an appetite." Cersei spoke with a blink.
"Need to get back to full strength!" He said confidently
"You'll get indigestion if you swallow all that without breathing." Cersei answered "...But I think mum has something to remedy that."
"Huh?" Bill blinked
"Mum, get out the Swift Ale!" Cersei called out
"Are you sure? Who's the unlucky person with the huge appetite?" Alicia's voice responded
"It's Bill." She responded
"Oh."
"Sorry...*Gulp* What's "Swift Ale"?" Bill asked as he swallowed some food.
"A sort of "indigestion survivor" drink." Cersei answered
"Here we go. Hi, Bill." Alicia spoke as she walked out holding a large pitcher of ale.
"Hi." He nodded
"Don't eat too fast, or you WILL be in trouble." Alicia answered
"I'll...try not to." Bill answered as he continued eating...though much slower.
Sachi smiled gently
'Hang on Lady Hera...We're coming.' Bill thought
*Time Skip*
Hera sighed, preparing for bed
'Hmm...' Hera frowned, not liking this...She being in Zeus' bed, even after the weeks leaving her Familia.
She hated this so much
But she had to endure it...She had to for them.
"Hera, you ready?" Zeus asked
"Yes." She nodded, getting into bed and rolling to her side to go to sleep "Good night." She said simply
"Yes...Goodnight." He answered and fell to sleep, starting to snore almost immediately.
'Some things never change.' She thought sadly
Especially as, since she is the goddess of marriage, she could literally FEEL the infidelity POURING of Zeus
'Gods he is vile.' She thought, trying to sleep soundly tonight.
... She wished Bill was here
'Please Bill...Be safe.' She thought sadly.
*With Bill*
"You feeling better now? With a full stomach." Sachi asked
"Yeah...I feel better." Bill nodded
He was arriving back at their hotel, getting ready
"What's the plan? We can't just storm the place." Sachi commented
"Seems like the best plan to me."
"Well...I can't argue with that...But we're going to need reinforcements." Sachi added. "Though...We don't want Matt or Cersei getting into trouble."
"Who's gonna stop us?" Matt smirked from the door
"Matt...You're coming too?" Bill asked
"Yeah he is. And you're not going into a war without me." Cersei added as she walked behind them.
"And our Familia's are backing us up." Matt smiled
"Cersei...Matt...Thank you. I mean it." Bill spoke with a tearful smile.
"They aren't the only ones." A familiar wolf girl smirked
"Lupe? You're joining too?" Sachi asked as she turned around
"Course. You guys stuck your necks out for me...I'd be a bitch if I didn't help my friends." Lupe smiled
"Well, more a bitch than I already am." She joked, since she is a wolf girl
"And we do not let a member of our Family fight alone." Artemis said as she put a hand on Lupe's shoulder
"Thank you...Thank you, everyone." Bill answered, getting teary eyed. "Let's get to work." He spoke with determined eyes.
