Chapter 77 - Huge Conspiracy

As Bell was strolling down the street, he noticed someone was following him. He was curious but kept his guard up. As he turned at a corner, suddenly he was grabbed and gagged. Bell has been kidnapped!

Turns out the kidnappers are none other than the leaders of the Loki familia. They motioned Bell to keep quiet and carried him into a restaurant that is empty after the lunch rush. Bell was very worried thinking that the Loki familia may have been possessed by some high-level magic, so he did not struggle and went along to see what is going on.

After sitting Bell down, Riveria goes to the restaurant owner to explain, and the owner immediately put out the "closed" sign. Riveria thanked the owner and gave him a token of her thanks, and the owner left the restaurant to give them privacy.

To Bell's surprise, Tione just walked through the front door and with her was Lili, Welf, Wiene, Haruhime and Mikoto. They join Riveria, Finn, Gareth, Bete, Lefiya and Tiona. Bell is now really worried, as it is apparent that something has taken control of all his close friends who were also among the most powerful in their world.

Finn, Riveria, Welf and Lili were sitting close to Bell, and it appears they are the leaders of the group.

Finn "It has been 3 years since our victory. You and Ais have been together for 3 years under the same tent. What are your intentions?

Bell was almost relieved "Well we are dating and having a good time"

Riveria "Dating for 3 years. Are you intentions honorable?"

Bell "Of course"

Lili "But Bell sama, what are those strange noises that come from your room"

Bell got all red "What strange noises?"

Welf "Last week, we heard Ais screamed and yelled something about argonanut"

Gareth "Argonaut! What in the world are you doing?"

Tione "Bell, Ais is my sister, you better be good to her. You cannot use argonaut on her"

Bell was now super embarrassed "I am not hurting Ais. We are having a good time"

Riveria "How could you be scaring Ais with argonaut? That is dangerous"

Bell did not know what to say.

Lili "How could you use argonaut inside the home? You could blow up the entire building if you fire it off"

Bell did not know what to say.

Bete "Bell, you have great power in argonaut. You cannot be abusing others with it. And that is coming from me."

Tiona "Bell, what do you do with argonaut and Ais?"

Bell is super embarrassed and has entered scared rabbit mode.

Finn "Bell, what could you possibly use argonaut for?"

Bell "... I am not ..."

Mikoto "But we all heard Ais screaming argonaut"

Haruhime "Tell us the truth, we are your family"

Wiene "Bell, we want to know and help you"

Tione "That is our little sister. You need to tell us"

Bell is now in fetal position "I cannot say. It is too embarrassing"

Finn "Bell, is your argonaut powers going out of control?"

Lili "Bell sama, we want to help you"

Riveria "If argonaut goes out of control, we all need to know."

Bell "... ... argonaut is not dangerous. it is fine ..."

Welf "But why is Ais screaming about it"

Finn "Bell, if Ais is screaming, why is she screaming"

Lefiya "Yes Bell, you have a responsibility to tell us. We are Ais' family. You may have taken her away from us. But we are still her family"

Mikoto "Come on, Bell, you can tell us.

Bell "If I tell you, Ais will kill me"

Riveria "What? What in the world is going on"

Bete "Why would Ais kill us if she is scared of argonaut"

Riveria "Ok, we are going to stop messing around. Tickle torture time."

Everyone jumped on Bell and tied him up. Bell is hung upside down and multiple feathers were deployed.

After 10 minutes of tickle torture, Bell was tearing and screaming stop. But the interrogators demanded an answer.

Bell "hahahahahahah stoppppppppppp I cannot tell you. Ais will kill me and then all of you hahahahahahahaha"

Finn "Bell, you are going to have to tell us"

Riveria "Bell, we like you but we have to get to the bottom of this"

After 1 hour, Bell was valiantly resisting but the huge group was determined.

They stopped for a few minutes for more interrogation.

Gareth "Young boy, you have to tell us. We are trying to help you and Ais"

Bell "We do not need help"

Lili "Bell sama, we are family. You need to tell us what is going on with argonaut"

Bell "I cannot say anything else"

Tickle torture resume for another hour.

At the end, Bell could not take it any more "Ais is not screaming about big bad argonaut. Ais is screaming about little argonuat"

...

...

With that, the entire room was quiet ...
