It had been quite the time in Orario. Freya familia had been beaten and their familia was disbanded, crowing the Loki Familia as the most powerful.
With the popularity of Bell increasing, and him now becoming a first class-adventurer, Hestia ordered him to get new clothes for himself as his old brown jacket wouldn't work anymore.
"Hmm… this one is nice." Bell was out shopping for new clothes.
He had liked his old clothing but Hestia insisted he gets new clothes as he is now a first class adventurer.
In the distance, Ais was roaming around Orario in her free time. The only reason she wasn't in the dungeon was because she was forbidden by Riveria to go to the dungeon in her free time.
Ais noticed a back with white, fluffy hair.
"could that be?" In Ais's mind; Bell came to mind.
"I should go check…" Ais walked towards the white hair, and her suspicions were confirmed. Ais had stopped pretty close to the back of Bell's head to get a better look.
Bell turned around as he was about to walk off from a clothes section and was inches away from Ais's face.
Both Bell and Ais froze before Bell panickledly backed off with his red face while Ais calmly backed off after him with a slight blush on her face.
"Oh.. uhh Ais-san?" Bell was surprised to see Ais to say the least.
"… Hi Bell.." Ais was an airhead, she saw white hair and checked to see if it was Bell, now that she confirmed it was Bell, she couldn't just walk off.
"Uhm.. what a coincidence seeing you here."
"…" Ais remained silent as she stared into the boy's eyes.
The awkward silence was killing them both so Ais tried to make small talk.
"…What.. are you doing here Bell?"
".. I'm shopping for new clothes."
Ais's Memory immediately went to the time where Tione, Tiona, and Lefiya went shopping for new clothes for her.
"Alone?.."
"Yes."
"What about your Familia?"
"Welf is busy in the forge, Lili and Haruhime are busy with house work, Mikoto is at Takemikazuchi's home and Hestia is asleep."
"I see…" Ais was thinking about going clothes shopping with Bell alone.
Since Bell was searching for Clothes, he wanted to see what Ais was wearing.
His eyes wandered from the top of her head to her legs. It was her usual clothing but Bell never really looked into it. Bell noticed that her clothing made her breasts and her curves appear more aggressive and blushed at the thought of those.
Ais, staring into Bell's eyes as he checked out her body, got flushed a bit. But Ais thought Bell was checking her out in an indecent way.
"What are you doing Bell?" Ais asked in a serious voice.
"Ahh! Nothing!" Bell was caught off-guard as he realized what he was doing.
"Bell.." Ais got even more serious and walked forward to intimidate Bell.
"Sorry it's just… I'm buying new clothes and I just wanted to see what you were wearing…" Bell finally gave out with a sigh.
"Oh… I thought you were thinking about something indecent."
"W-What! I-I would never!" Bell defended himself.
Ais smiled, happily knowing Bell was still pure after all he's been through.
But Ais noticed Bell's face was met with conflict. It looked like he was troubled.
"What's wrong, Bell?" Ais asked, in a calm and low voice.
"Oh.. nothing.." Bell tried to brush it off.
"Tell me." Ais pushed further.
"W-Well.."
"Just tell me." Ais got closer to Bell.
"it's just.." Bell hesitated until Ais got closer and squinted her eyes.
"I never thought you'd be one of those people that wear indecent clothing!" Bell said really fast since he was panicking about how close Ais was to his face.
"?.." Ais backed away from Bell and was confused.
Ais looked down at her clothing and immediately understood what Bell meant.
Her clothing were tight so it vividly built her body as well as made her breasts and curves appear more aggressive. All of her back was exposed and her skirt was short.
"…" Ais was silent, but got very red. She realized how much she was revealing this entire time.
Then, she remembered that she got these clothes from Loki.
"That Loki…" Ais gave off an aura of death.
"A-Ais-san?" Bell was frightened by this aura.
"!.." Ais's expression immediately saddened.
Ais's mind: what if Bell thinks I'm indecent because I wear these types of clothes…
Ais wanted to say something but began to fidget…
"Ais?"
Ais's mind: there's only one way to find out..
"?" Bell was curious as to why Ais was fidgeting.
"…do you like what I'm wearing?" Ais was still fidgeting and her face became more redder and she made eye contact with Bell then stopped, only to repeate the cycle of looking at Bell's eyes and glancing away.
"A-A-AIS-SAN!?" Bell's face immediately became red.
Ais stared at Bell, expecting a response.
Bell was still processing what Ais had asked him, It took Bell a while so Ais assumed the worst.
"So you don't like it…" Ais's flushed face went away as she got sad.
Bell began to speak at the speed of light, "N-No! You're beautiful! AGH! I-I meant your clothes m-make you look beautiful but you also look b-beautiful w-without them. Wait no! I-I didn't mean it like that! I-I-I'm saying that you're b-beautiful either way and I like your c-clothing not b-because it was revealing, I-I mean I like that's it revealing but y-you m-might think I-I'm a pervert but you're body is just so beautiful and I-I-I."
Before Bell could finish, he darted off faster than ever thanks to his escape skill and level 5 status.
"…" Ais's face was red and the black flame inside of her was barely alive.
"So… Bell.. does like my clothes… and thinks I'm… beautiful…" a smile appear on Ais's face.
But she also pouted.
"But… you still run away from me… stupid Bell."
