Chapter 85 - True Feelings

After Bell got on one knee, held Bete's paws, and looked in Bete's eyes and yelled out "Will you marry me", Ais yelled "No way!" from the entrance to the room.

The room got deadly quiet while Bell was crying inside "OMG, Ais said no... She does not want to marry me..."

The room remained deadly quiet for a long long pause.

Ais walked towards Bell "I always had a suspicion you that like Bete!"

Ais then smelled her own perfume "How incredibly sick, Bete is wearing my perfume. Bete, I did not know you are that type"

Bete "They put that on me!"

Bell "Ais, this is not what you think!"

Ais "I saw the whole thing to myself! I am so shocked"

Bell "They were all trying to help me so I can propose to you! I kept fainting so they dressed Bete up like you for me to practice. I did not have the power to say - will you marry me"

Ais ROTFLOL "YES! ... hahahahahaha stupid hahahahahahahaha this is the most ridiculous scene I have ever seen hahahahahahaha"

Ais "Bete looks like the wolf who ate the little pigs hahahahahaha and he wore my dress hahahahahahaha"

Hermes "We got a yes, deal is done... Now Riveria you need to pay up"

Bete growls "Great, now even Ais is humiliating me"

Finn "Great, now Riveria, what did you promise Hermes?"

Gareth "I am scared"

Lefiya angrily growled "Hermes, do you know what a high elf means?"

Riveria "Well a deal is a deal" and gives Hermes a big kiss on the kisser...

Everyone in the room is shocked.

Hermes "Wow, high elf for dessert. Yummy. Bell, you think you can take back the proposal so we can do it again?"

Asif, Leifya, Ais, Tione and Tiona gagged and tied Hermes up and put him in the closet for punishment.

Finn "Well now that Hermes is taken care of, we need to have a celebration"

Bell "Lets go to the ocean cabin and have a cookout"

Ais "Bell, you first need to propose to me properly"

Bell got down on one knee, held Ais' hand "Ais, will you marry me? I do not know how to live without you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life"

Ais blushing bright red "Yes" and there was a tender kiss.

Everyone clapped. With that the entire gang headed to the ocean cabins. The entire Hestia familia was also summoned even though Lili and Mikoto failed in their Ais distraction task.

Welf "Bell, we finally made a honest man out of you. Now the argonaut screams are a-ok at the home hahahahahahaha"

Bell and Ais chased Welf for a long distance. The punishment was severe...

By the time they reached the ocean, it was starting to get dark. Fortunately, Tiona and Tione are great at fishing under low-light conditions. Others helped gather shellfish for the cookout. The food was good and they gathered around the fire in a big circle.

Unfortunately, Tione wanted to see Finn dressed up like Ais. Thus, poor Finn was mugged and had to wear the Ais-like dress with some Ais perfume in addition. Bell played along and proposed to Finn, who looked cute in Ais' clothes.

Bete "Finn, you look really cute"

Finn "Shut up"

Bete "I can get used to being on the other side"

Ais "I am jealous"

Welf "I want to propose to Finn! Finn smells so good"

Gareth "Finn, you have talent"

Finn "Shut up"

Riveria "Finn, you do look adorable"

Finn "Even you are getting in on this ... Why don't you go kiss Hermes instead?"

Riveria blushes and behaves...

Tione "So cute"

Finn "Tione, I hope you are happy"

Tione "Very!"

Lili then used Cinder Ella to change into Ais and sneaked next to Bell.

Lili (as Ais) winked "I want to play argonaut tonight"

Bell (embarrassed) "Let's not talk about that now"

Lili (as Ais) "Come on, you know you want to"

Bell (super-red) "Ais, stop that, it is embarrassing"

Lili (as Ais) "How about a big kiss?"

Ais (real one): "Bell, it is Lili!"

Bell looks at Lili "Wow, I can have twin-Ais, so nice"

Ais grabbed Bell by the ear and dragged him away from Lili. After the silliness, they then told stories about Bell's early adventures and also Ais' early adventures. Riveria also told the story about Ais' many pathetic and cute attempts to 'apologize' to Bell.

During the story telling, Loki called in to congratulate Bell and Ais. However everyone could hear Hestia's crying in the background. Hestia's voice could be heard "Bell-kun, how could you cheat on me. You need to come up to the moon tomorrow !"
