Narrator:
"See ya guys!"
"We'll get some souvenirs!"
2 voices yelled at the group who were consisted with the entire Astraea Familia including the Goddess herself and some members from the Ganseha Familia specially the Captain and their God was also there as they waved at the 2 people walking down the road.
"Ne Bell? You excited for this trip?!"
An energetic blue haired said as she stretched her arms forward.
"I am, can't believe we'll be able go to the kingdom where the Agronaut was!"
An energetic white haired said as he also stretched his arms forward.
"You've been there before right?"
"Sorta, but I was only there for 1 day had to leave immediately hehe."
The 2 continued to talk as the group of people at the gate watch them slowly disappear.
"Well we better should get going as well."
An older blue haired girl said, this was Shakti Varma you should probably already know who she is but if not, she's the Ganesha Familia's captain and the older sister of Ardee Varma the blue haired girl we saw leave with the rabbit.
"Yeah we should also begin our patrols as well."
Alise said agreeing with her fellow captain and with that they all left. Well the reason for this was that the guild have tasked the Ganesha Familia and the Astraea Familia with a mission to go to Lakrios. And Bell and Ardee were the only ones who were excited to go to the capital where the Argornaut made his legend.
So meaning to say Orario, won't have the rabbit and the vice captain of the Ganesha Familia for at least a week.
What can go wrong?
Narrator:
"I miss Bell."
Alise said as she lumped her to a stack of paper.
"It's barely been 1 day, and can you please do your share. Of the work"
Kaguya said as she finished her share of the paper work.
"You know I won't help you finish it,"
Kaguya coldly said starring daggers at the red head who hasn't finished a single one.
"But but, but it's so boringggggg."
Alise complained like a child.
"This what our captain is truly like, Karen don't learn from her."
Lyra said to their newest member with a smirk as she watched both captain and vice-captain bicker.
"I see."
"Hey! I'm a great role model!"
Alise opposed to Lyra but to HER surprise no one backed her up, she then looked everyone at the room who all avoided eye contact at her.
"C'monnnnnnnnnn!"
"You guys are a bunch of traitors, whatever."
Alise grumpily said as she puffs her cheeks.
"Lyon!"
With a sudden call from her captain, the elf looked at the red head with a tilt in her head.
"Can you please help me!"
Alise pleaded but was once again surprised, when she received no answer and as she looked at her favorite elf she was shocked to see her avoiding eye contact with her.
"... I actually have to cover for Syr, bye!"
And as fast as she said those words, Ryuu bolted out of the room.
"... Guys?"
Alise then looked at Celty, Neze, Maryuu who also we're avoiding eye contact with her.
"C'mon guys let's go on our patrol."
"Yep, c'mon Karen you still need to get used to routes."
"Y-yes."
And with that the 4 of them all left the room which led to Alise look at Lyra who just looked at her with a stone face.
"Nah."
Lyra simply said as she left the room, not even with an excuse, oh how I envy that what I would give you just to straight up say no to someone and leave.
"Now, that your desperate attempt of avoiding your work is done, Let's get down with business shall we."
Turning her head around, she sees Kaguya with a sadistic smile on her.
...
"BELLLLLLLLLLLLLL PLSSSSSSSS GET BACK SOONNNNNNNNN!"
Narrator:
"This place is so beautiful!"
"Woah! This place looks exactly the same last time I was here."
Both Bell and Ardee have near destination and as they silent stood and admire the beautiful kingdom, Lakrios.
And as they marvel of this paradise looking kingdom, they began to discuss their missi-
"You know we have the entire week, sooooo..."
"Sightseeing?"
"Sightseeing."
And with that the mission seemed to have been postpone for a while, as they both happily walked to kingdom.
Narrator:
It was the 2nd day without the rabbit in their lives, currently it was morning and Alise was the last person to wake up due to the fact Kaguya made her finish her work.
Going to the dining room, she found a particular sight as she found her Familia just sitting there, looking at their pancakes, they were just playing with them even their Goddess was just poking at them.
The only one who wasn't doing it was Karen who was just scarfing down on her pancakes.
As Alise went up to her to seat, she began to take a piece of her pancake while trying to ask what's wrong.
"C'mon guys what's-"
She couldn't finish her sentence as she ate her pancake.
Now bear in mind everyone in this Familia can cook, well at least to the bare minimum so nobody could truly cook something awful maybe an occasional from Ryuu but she was getting better.
The reason why everyone was upset was because it was Monday, yeah, I would be upset too infact I am upset this is being done on a Monday. But that's not reason, the reason was because every Monday a certain rabbit would be cooking the best pancake they ever taste.
And again, everyone in this Familia can cook, but of course there are people who are better. Going down to Ryuu and going all the way to the top, Bell.
Now the pancakes weren't awful infact there delicious, their Goddess was the one who cooked them and she was the 2nd best cook in the Familia but even she didn't enjoy the meal herself.
It was mystery to the girls how Bell can cook that exquisitely, when he doesn't have a development ability of cook, they've asked Astraea and she herself said that the cook ability didn't appear whenever Bell got a lvl up.
"C-c'mon guys, Bell and Ardee will be back sooner than later."
Alise said trying to cheer up the atmosphere, but she herself knew she was lying to herself. As they all knew except for Karen of course that Bell usually cooks every week.
And once you eaten godly food like that you can't go back to normal, it's like the time the Author went to 1st class and refused to go to any other class in a plane. And the only reasons why they would ever eat anything else would be if Bell's been working too hard and needed a break or they wanted a quick snack or wanted to party but other than that they can never ever fully enjoy another meal.
It was so bad, on the first year Bell joined them Kaguya would beat up anyone who ate her food. Wars were literally fought for his food, one time, to help out Ryuu, Bell decided to cook for the Hostess and when news of that happened that was the day Mia scored her highest income ever, but was banned when she noticed that customers the next day were disappointed with the food and never return.
May was so upset that day she almost quit and almost killed Bell and for the entire month the hostess dropped alot of income due to it and Mama Mia doubled Ryuu's debt because of it.
Gods wanted him for their Familia, not for his skills, lvl, his strength. No, they wanted his cooking.
Karen is lucky as she hasn't tasted his food yet. She has yet to Flowers for Algernon-ed her tastebuds and if you know, you know.
Narrator:
It was the 2nd day on their mission and there doing.
"Ne. don't you think this figurine looks like Ryuu?"
Ardee said as her and Bell looks at a certain figurine that looks like certain elf friend of theirs.
"Huh, Ryuulu does look like Ryuu but with green hair."
Currently both of them we're at gift shop, I mean they have their priorities straight.
"You think we should get it?"
"Weren't we gonna it either way?"
"True."
They spent the entire day, buying at gift shops and stores all over the kingdom almost causing some the stores to loss their entire stocks. And no, they haven't done their mission.
Narrator:
3rd day without the rabbit and things are hectic but it's always hectic. And yesterday they made a plan for their food situation, they decided to just order at Hostess until Bell gets back.
May was still the 2nd best cook they know, so at least they would feel something when eating. Yeah, the problem was so bad they had to make a plan for it. It was one thing for them if Bell doesn't cook for a couple days but knowing that Bell wouldn't be cooking for the entire week was driving them insane.
The worst ones were Kaguya and Neze, whose stomachs were rumbling they just couldn't eat properly it was to the point the member had to force them to atleast eat something.
Currently the members were on the edge, as they wait for their Goddess, Celty, Karen and Asta for their food.
Kaguya was a mess as she begging to eat her hair while biting her nails, which was begging to irritate Lyra.
"Hey! Can you knock that off!"
Now, Lyra was the 3rd calmest person of the Familia with Karen and Astraea being 1st and 2nd respectively but she herself was on the edge.
"Oh? I'm sorry did I annoy you?"
Kaguya coldly said which irritated the pallum even more.
"Oi I can sense the sarcasm you know."
"Oh? You can take a hint? I wonder why you can't take Finn's."
"...Ok that's it!"
They both drew their weapons but before they could fight Alise was able to stop it.
"Ok, ok, ok guys let's not fight."
She said making them put away their weapons reluctantly.
Luckily Orario has only eaten Bell's food once, if they were used to it, Orario would probably cease to exist the dungeon would be destroyed.
"We're back!"
And as they hear the door open, Kaguya was the first one to bolt over there.
"Wait KAGUYA!"
"NO FAIR!"
"NU UH I CALL DIBS ON THE RIBS!"
The rest of the Familia follow suit.
Narrator:
...
...
Hm? What's happening? Um where are they?
Looks check in their room, ...oh I see.
"ZzZzZzZ."
"ZzZzZzZ"
It seems the both of them were so tired at shopping yesterday that there still sleeping today, Sigh well let's just leave them to cuddle, man I think they shopped too much their entire room is filled with clothes, merchandise, figurines, books you name it they probably bought it.
Narrator:
4th day, and let's say things weren't going well when can see Alise, Ryuu and Kaguya talking to Airmid apparently talking something about a calming potion.
So, for the past days, the Astraea Familia were getting some complains, apparently some of them getting a bit to rowdy and accidentally snapping at civilians, it even led Ryuu being banned to work due Mama Mia saying that she was getting more irritable and making more mistakes. It even went as bad as Astraea accidentally snapping.
But apparently Airmid didn't have anything to calm them down, they also went to Naaza but she couldn't help out either but both of them did say they'll try to make one and call them if they make something.
"Well, that was useless."
Ryuu irately said as she began to tap her feet.
"Yeah, like you're the one to say."
Kaguya "quietly" said but due to Ryuu's great hearing and the fact that she didn't really say it quietly, the elf drew her weapon same goes for the eastern.
"STOPP!"
Which led to Alise holding out her rapier at them as well.
"Ok, let's all try to calm down... Lyon can I ask you a favor-"
"No, can I ask you a favor! CAN YOU STOP GOING TO MY ROOM! ITS LIKE THE 44TH FLOOR WHEN YOU COME THERE!"
The elf ranted to red head captain, man I've heard of hangry but... got nothing for this we still haven't even reached halfway through the limits.
"... WELL EXCUSE ME FOR GETTING COLD!"
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST SET YOUR BED ON FIRE THEN!"
Both girls continued argue until Kaguya hit them in the head.
"YOU TWO STOP! NOW ALISE WHAT'S THE FAVOR!"
"... Fine I'm sorry, Lyon you're the only one other than Bell whose friends with the Freya Familia, you think you can let Syr or Anya or Mama Mia to lets us go to Heith?"
"... Sorry too, I'll go ask later."
Man, they should get a snicker.
Narrator:
Well, it's the 4th day and the white rabbit and blue canary, yeah, the Author went to describe her as a canary, leave your suggestion if you have better one. Anyways apparently yesterday after their little snooze fest they woke up and finished their mission here and have been praised as heroes. Pity I don't even know what their mission was, anyways they decided to make the most of their "vacation."
Right now, they're we're enjoying a theater play of the Argonaut.
"These seats are amazing."
"Yeah, can't believe they gave it to us for free."
They were both at the balcony seats where they could see the entire stage, and as the narrator from the play finish her line, the Argonaut came in the stage well the actor.
"The wind is crying..."
Narrator:
Things are getting worst on the 5th day for the Astraea Familia, everyone is so hostile around each other, poor Karen luckily though Astraea in her calmest state made her stay at the Hestia Familia for the time being stating that she didn't want her getting hurt during this period.
But let's see what's going on with the trio who were on their way to see Heith, thankfully Syr what's able to pull some strings to get to meet the healer from the Freya Familia, well after almost being killed by Kaguya.
Currently Alise and Kaguya were walking towards the room where the healer was, going inside of the room they could fine the red head healer holding a cup of coffee as she bangs her head repeatedly at her table.
"Um Heith you ok?"
Alise asked her fellow red head, who just raised her to see her guest to which she responded with taking a sip from her coffee and another bang to the table.
"Sigh, Let's just get this over with."
"So you guys want a calming potion?"
Heith asked the two girls who just nodded their heads.
"You've heard of tea?"
The sound of someone breaking a wall can be heard and the someone would Kaguya.
"If I hear that one more time..."
Man, I guess this wasn't the first time she heard it.
"You know you're gonna have to pay fo-"
Before Heith could even finish Kaguya destroyed a cabinet filled with potions.
"Hours of hard work... wasted."
Heith said as she took another sip of her coffee.
"You're also gonna have to pay fo-"
More potions got destroyed.
(... I'm gonna skin that rabbit alive.)
The healer thought to herself.
"Here take it and get out!"
She said throwing Alise a bag filled with vials and throwing the girls out of the semi destroyed room.
"Also this are still beta testing, and very flammable so don't do anything stupid."
She then closed the door which was kinda obsolete due to the giant hole on her wall.
Let's get back with Bell and Ardee.
Narrator:
5th day of their little vacation, the two of them decided to venture of a little more, visiting some towns near the kingdom, helping people out and honestly enjoying a peaceful day.
They ended the day with a little picnic near a cliff viewing the beautiful kingdom with its lights on.
"It's even more beautiful at night."
"You say that about to everything in the night."
"Hehe, I guess but it is true."
"Hehe, you are right about that."
Ardee's head rested at Bell's shoulder as his head rested on her head as they view kingdom.
Narrator:
Fire.
Huh, well it was bound to happened one chapter.
Everything was on fire, the mansion was on fire, things happened with food, Alise and the potion was not doing its best at all. Infact it made the situation worse, Heith wasn't kidding that it was flammable.
Meanwhile with the Hestia Familia, Karen was having a little spare with Anna.
"What's wrong?"
Anna said, wondering why the black haired woman stopped.
"... Nothing I feel like something just happened."
They continued their training once again.
I wonder what Bell and Ardee are doing.
Narrator:
It's the 6th day of their vacation or well last day, as they decided to leave on their last day.
Right now, they're enjoying their last dinner at the kingdom and it was an all you can eat buffet as when the kingdom heard that they we're leaving tomorrow they've decided to throw them a party for their actions. Which I still don't know what they had to do here.
"Cheers for our heroes!"
"Cheers!"
Cheers and praises filled the entire kingdom, with bars and musicians playing songs of their great adventure, kids playing with swords re-acting some scenes they witness from their adventure.
"Hehe, we should come back here next time."
"Yeah, let's bring Ryuu and the rest with us too, Can't wait to tell Shakti all about this."
They all enjoyed the day and night partying in the kingdom.
Narrator:
Both Bell and Ardee were just on their way back to Orario, they left on foot now there leaving with a wagon filled with the stuff they've bought.
They hummed to the song that the Astraea Familia just sung a month ago.
"Man, the song is still in my head."
"Hehe, Alise said it came to her in a dream."
They both laugh as they watch the fields and towns they pass on their cart, apparently, it'll take a day to reach Orario due to their luggage.
One more day huh, the Astraea Familia is gonna crazy, well crazier
Narrator:
Well it's been a hectic week for the Astraea Familia, luckily the mansion was able to survive the fire, it's a bit burnt but the Goibniu Familia can fix that in a couple of days.
Currently all members were at the gates accompanied with Shakti who looked worriedly at the Astraea Familia all of them looked pale, some had eye bags and their skins looking a bit burnt except for Alise, Astraea and Karen, Alise being almost immune to any type of fire, Astraea being protected from the flame and Karen well she was staying with the Hestia Familia during the fire.
They all stand there, waiting for the both adventures to be back.
...
It was now midnight, Shakti left after an hour suggesting to the rest to also do the same but they said that they'll be any minute now.
"It's sure taking them long."
"... I think I'll say what we're all thinking."
Lyra said as she closed her eyes.
"There not coming back yet are they."
Yeah, their not.
Narrator:
Bell can be seen carrying loads of bags on his arms and on top of his head, which were filled with the stuff he bought and 90% of it were for his room and the 10% for his Familia. Him and Ardee had just gotten back to Orario and they've decided to go their respective homes first and would meet up back at the Hostess with the rest of their Familia.
Walking down the streets, meeting up with some familiar faces as he crosses down to the Stardust Garden.
After some friendly greetings, Bell was at the front door of his house with a slightly pinched cheek courtesy of Heith who complained she had to deal with a lot of stuff because of him, he made a mental note to apologize to her.
"I'm home!"
Bell said as he opened the door, but surprisingly noone was there and weirdly the room seemed to be a bit roasted and scorched.
"Guess there out patrolling."
Closing the door, he carefully placed all of his bags down when he heard a rumble at the mansion.
"Did you hear that!"
"Yeah, he's back!"
"Bell's home!"
The rumble continued as Bell was then surprised with a group hug from all the girls (Minus Karen and Astraea who quietly walked up to them) knocking him to the floor.
"We miss you, Bell Cranel."
Author's Notes:
... Weird I always have something to say here.
Oh well, see ya when I see you.
