Chapter 88 - Birds and Bees

During cake cutting, the wedding games started, led by Welf, Tiona, Loki and Hestia. After admitting to their favorite body parts of each other, Ais and Bell had to answer the uber-embarrassing of lost innocence. When the question came to when innocence was lost, Bell's answer shocked the crowd. Everyone demanded that Finn and Riveria explain themselves about giving the couple a book about the birds and the bees.

Hestia "Tell us the circumstances that this book was given"

Bell "It was after our last victory celebration. They said it was a gift but don't open it before going to sleep."

Hestia "What was exactly in this book"

Bell "It was about the birds and the bees"

Hestia "Did it have pictures?"

Bell "Yes"

Hestia "Was it a how to book"

Bell "...Sort of", making the crowd grasp.

Loki "Finn, the captain, can do such a thing! And you call me perverted!"

Hestia "I cannot believe this!"

Riveria "We were just trying to give Ais the basic information that any parent would give their child"

Finn "Besides, they shared a tent and were together for months. We just wanted Ais to know the basics."

Riveria "Besides, Hermes' sychronization training was pretty explicit"

The crowd then wanted to know what sychronization training entailed.

Hermes "We had to extend Bell's resistance to the main team, so feelings had to be built up between Bell and all members of the team"

The crowd was not very satisfied with the explanation, but decided it was for the general good and had to be done. They were also worried what other skeletons were going to come out of the closet about the hero team that saved the world. With that, Welf and Tiona decided the question-answering game is finished.

Welf "Well, now we are starting the second game - it is a fertility ritual to ensure the happy couple provides us future heroes to protect the world."

Finn whispered to Riveria and Gareth "This sounds bad."

Hestia and Loki looked at each other and also got worried about what is to come next.

Welf gets Bell and Ais to stand up facing the crowd, while Tiona is holding something behind her back.

Tiona "This ritual celebrates a successful and fertile union between the happy couple."

Welf "Yes, Ais, Tiona is going to give you this egg as the vehicle of fertility"

Tiona "Ais will pass the egg through the Bell's left pant leg. The egg will be guided through the pant leg to the top and then back down through Bell's right leg."

As blushing Ais kneels down to perform the tasks, Loki uses a little magic to tighten up Bell's pants to spice up things a bit. Bell realized what Loki did but was powerless to protect himself.

Ais had a great deal of trouble getting the egg up the pant leg. The crowd was laughing, clapping and cheering heartily the entire time, while Welf and Tiona provided 'encouragement' for Ais. After about 5 minutes, the egg made it up the pant leg. However, the tight pants made it impossible to get the egg inside the pants from the left leg side to the right leg side.

Welf "Ais, you need to get it to the other side"

Tiona "Ais, why cant you do it"

Ais "The pants are too tight"

Welf ROTFLOL "Bell, is argonaut acting up?"

Tiona ROTFLOL "Ais, dont make argonaut go off!"

Bell "Welf, wait till your turn!"

Welf "Well, I may as well enjoy now and worry later"

Ais "Bell, I cannot get it through"

Bell decided that the only way was to loosen his pants, which he did in front of the entire crowd.

Hestia "Don't show too much. It is indecent exposure!"

Bell "Oh, this is worse than the dragon"

After Bell loosened his pants, Ais was able to move the egg through to the other side. Then getting the egg down the right pant leg went smoothly. Having completed the task, Ais and Bell were too relieved and exhausted to be embarrassed any more.

Welf "Well the happy couple has completed their fertility task"

Tiona "May this be a happy and productive union!"

That wrapped up the wedding games for the banquet. The banquet was also finished at that point, and the crowd was thinning and returning home.

Bell and Ais had a honeymoon suite on the moon, and they were so relieved that they lie down face-up on the bed for a while talking about what happened.

Suddenly, the door opened and in came the Hestia familia and the senior execs of the Loki familia, along with Loki and Hestia, all with evil smiles on their faces. Welf declared that the 2nd and more intimate phase of the wedding games will now commence to ensure a productive union.
