Chapter 63 - The Interrogations
3 days after the adventurers were deployed to the 18 empty shacks, a small boat landed near the original shack. Ais was first to see the boat. After a terse message to Hestia and others, they all went to see who was on the boat. It appeared to be a middle-aged couple dragging the boat onshore. Tione asked the couple whether they owned the shack, and they replied yes. Bell then asked whether they are Ahti and Vellamo, which surprised the couple. A little concerned, they answered yes!
The team quickly told Ahti and Vellamo about what happened, which completed shocked the 2 gods. Hestia was put on the call, and Hestia again explained the urgency of the situation. Ahiti and Vellamo agreed to help their fellow gods, so they agreed to go to Orario with them. Wiene was summoned to provide transportation, and quickly flew the couple, Tione and Tiona back to Orario. Wiene would continue to have an extremely busy day picking up everyone at the 18 shacks. As Bell and Ais left the beach, Bell thought that he would remember the place of his breakthrough with Ais and all those special memories. Ais was having similar thoughts and how nice the beach was...
Once everyone was back in Orario, another trip to the 99th floor was planned for next morning. It would again be Bell, Ais and Wiene, but Mikoto would be added due to her defensive magic to help protective the 2 gods. It was vital that their divine presence was hidden as long as possible given the dungeon's response would be unpredictable. Bell was summoned to the moon to pick up additional elixir and potions for the trip while Harihume's group was activated again to boost Bell (double), Ais, Wiene and Mikoto. Welf also recharged the necessary armor pieces as well as Wiene's lightning edges.
After the meeting, Riveria, Tiona and Tione took Ais and asked her about Bell. That immediately made Ais extremely embarrassed but she was forced to answer everyone's questions under the threat of tickling feathers. The big secrets had to be divulged, like when was the first kiss, the second kiss, the third kiss, how many kisses a day, and has he done anything else? After Ais' interrogation, it was Bell's turn.
Tiona "Who said you are allowed to kiss Ais"
Bell "You said I was supposed to take responsibility and make progress"
Riveria "Tiona, you are responsible also now"
Tione "Have you done anything else"
Bell "Gentlemen do not tell"
Impressed, Riveria said "Do you have honorable intentions?"
Bell "Of course"
Riveria "What about your harem"
Bell "You are all released henceforth"
With that, Bell was beaten, hung upside down and feather tickled for a long time. When Ais discovered Bell, he was released, but they refused to tell her what he did to earn the punishment...
After the interrogation and the punishment, Bell and Ais went to dinner with Riveria, Tiona, Tione and Lefiya. They celebrated the successful god hunt mission and cheered for the success of the next mission to save the gods and their friends. After dinner, Bell and Ais enjoyed lap pillowing at home thinking about the 99th floor. Afterwards, it was time for wrestling and the reward...
The next morning, everyone met up at the dungeon entrance. Wiene transformed and they were off to save the gods...
