AN: Hopefully I did this right and didn't give too many people false hope about this being an actual chapter. Still in the process of working on them but I figured this was needed so as to not leave you all with nothing. Enjoy this small preview of what's to come. (Not necessarily the next chapter)
Everyone kept watching, their nerves having not relaxed a single bit since this started. Of course, when the screen shifted to what it currently was now, that did little to help things for the audience.
At the moment, they all saw Bell and Ryuu, both injured, and trapped somewhere in the Dungeon. The boy and the elf in the audience grimaced a bit at the familiar sight. However, with everything else that's happened with this show, this isn't a spot to let their guard down either.
On screen...
The two were rummaging through their supplies to see what they still had to work with.
Bell: Well, we've only got a few vials left. Let's both take one. It'll be better if we can both walk at least.
Ryuu: *Nodding* If you insist.
Bell handed her one of the vials and they downed the contents inside them. In a few moments, they were able to feel a small sense of relief from the pain they were experiencing. Ryuu was curious about what was inside.
Ryuu: Say, what's inside those vials? I see you have a few left.
Bell: They're vials of Airmid's bath water. She gave them to me before I left with everyone for our expedition.
Ryuu: I see.
The elf stared at the rest of the vials in Bell's pouch with a conflicting look on her face.
In the audience...
Many faces turned to stone the instant Bell said that. After everything, Bell himself was stunned he said that. As for Airmid, the memories of what happened in that bath house raced back into her mind before she dropped to the ground and wailed.
Airmid: *Crying* NOOOOOOO!!!
With Bell, Meteria had long since passed out and the others were still trying to cope with this alternate version of their precious boy.
Hera: I hate it here!!
Zeus: There's no way this could get any worse...
On screen...
Bell: There's three vials of that. I'm also down to around four bottles of Asfi's sweat. This isn't very ideal.
In the audience, the new girl was now strangling Hermes as she felt it was the most natural thing to do.
Asfi: *Blushing* Why does he have that?!
Hermes: *Gagging*
Hera: Why, Zeus?! Why did you have to open your mouth?!
Zeus: Where is Rolan where you need him?
This was one of the times they wished the god was here to end their suffering.
Back on screen, the two were finishing reading a map that was left behind.
Bell: What's the plan?
Ryuu: First, we need to assess our priorities. The most essential need to come first.
She stared intensely at him and Bell followed her lead.
Bell: *Nods* Right.
The screen shifted out of the room they were in and soon only the sounds of wet slapping and moaning could be heard. It didn't take a genius to know that the two were currently having sex.
Bell: *Blushing* THAT'S their first priority?!
Artemis: *Exhausted* I can't even be surprised anymore...
The blue-haired goddess brought her knees to her chest while she had an empty look in her eyes. All the past events have pushed her to her limit.
Meteria: *Crying in her sleep* My baby...
With Ryuu...
Alise: Man down!!
Astraea: Wake up, Ryuu!
Kaguya: Get some cold water!
Once the sounds of their activities were heard, Ryuu promptly passed out with her bright red face still steaming from her seat.
On screen...
About half an hour later, Bell and Ryuu exited their safety point as the boy stretched his arms.
Bell: That's much better!
Ryuu: We both needed that. Come this way. We'll start looking for a way out from here.
...
Everyone was able to breathe a little easier once the two were finally out. From there, the screen shifted and showed Bell finally waking up in his hospital bed. There, he saw the worried looks of Hestia, Artemis and Astraea aimed towards him.
Hestia: Bell! Thank goodness!
Bell: Wha- Hestia?
Astraea: We were getting worried. Ryuu had woken up not long after we brought you both here but you were still asleep.
Bell: *Grimacing in pain* I-Is she ok?
Artemis: Yes, she'll be fine.
Bell sighed in relief.
Astraea: What about you? Are you ok? How are you feeling?
Bell: Ugh... sore, but alive.
Hestia: What about your dick?
Bell: I can still feel it, so it's still in one piece.
All three goddesses were relieved to hear that.
Artemis: Good. We wouldn't want anything to happen to you or it.
Bell: Thanks for worrying.
He gave a small smile before Airmid walked in with a clipboard in her hand. She finished scribbling something onto it before meeting his eyes.
Airmid: I see you've finally woken up.
Bell: Sorry for the trouble. How long was I out?
Airmid: Over twelve hours. Still, it was enough for me to prepare this.
She reached for something outside the room and on a metal cart sat a large pot. Steam rose from the hot contents inside. She grabbed a bowl and a ladle and poured the liquid from the pot inside.
Airmid: Luckily for you, you were unconscious long enough for me to prepare this stock of my bath water. This should help you get back on your feet soon enough.
Bell's face brightened when she said that and he quickly sat up.
Bell: Great! You're the best, Airmid!
The woman chuckled before grabbing a spoonful and bringing it to his mouth.
Airmid: Say ahh.
Bell had use of one arm, so he would've been able to feed himself. Though, he would be a fool to turn down a request from her of all people. He gladly downed every bowl she fed him.
As for Airmid, she glanced at the pitched tent by his groin from time to time and grew more excited for when she could discharge him.
In the audience...
Airmid had slumped in her chair. She was foaming from the mouth and tears dripped down her face while her unconscious body lay motionless.
Dian Cecht: Airmid...
With Bell...
Hestia: *Frantic* Please... please... I just want this to be over...
This opinion was shared with basically everyone in attendance. Unfortunately for them, they wouldn't be that lucky.
AN: That should do for now. Uh... I don't really have much to say for myself regarding this chapter. Though, all this is tame compared to what else i have planned for it. Hopefully the full thing doesn't leave permanent damage except to the people I don't like.
Well, thanks for reading and for bearing with me. Hopefully I have the next one done soon but even I don't know what's going to be thrown into my face.
