[Location: City of Orario, Babel tower, Top of Babel.]
On the top of Babel, a certain goddess of beauty was sitting in her chambers while watching the sunrise in front of a huge glass window.
"He's gotten stronger again." The goddess thought aloud as she sipped from her glass of wine. "He's shining even more brilliantly than before. But there's a smudge and an annoyance in green that's getting in my way."
The goddess thought of a certain elf which made her frown slightly, but soon her thoughts focused on that white-haired pure adventurer.
"He'll get strong. Someday he'll be strong enough to get rid of it."
At that moment Ottar, the captain of the Freya family, politely interrupted the goddess of him. "But…This shell can only be broken by those who go on adventures, but the elf doesn't look like a problem.
This made the goddess smile. "I'll leave this in your hands, Ottar."
[Location: Orario, Hestia Familia's residence.]
"My name is Liliruca Arde. Nice to meet you." She said a certain pallum girl as she bowed to the heart goddess.
Hestia, Lili, Bell and Link were at the altarpiece inside the church. The 2 teenagers had agreed to present the supporter to her goddess.
"So you're the supporter I've heard so much about." Hestia said with a kind but slightly authoritative tone. "Bell and Link told me all about you."
Bell and Link could perceive the uncomfortable atmosphere of the room before the gaze of the goddess towards the pallum.
"I'll go make some tea downstairs." Suggested Bell trying to calm the situation. "Oh, but we only have two cups."
"Three actually, I bought one the other day." Link corrected.
"Oh, there's no need to worry about that!" Hestia said with a glint in her eyes. "Bell and I can use the same cup!"
"..." Link stared at the goddess with a disgusted face. "Goddess…that's gross…"
"I guess you tell jokes like that, Goddess." Bell said, making the goddess feel annoyed, as Bell went downstairs, Hestia wanted to make Link to follow him since she wanted to talk to the supporter alone.
"Link, why don't you go downstairs and help Bell make the tea?" Asked the goddess trying to get rid of the boy in green. But to her surprise, he quickly shook his head.
"Hestia believe me when I tell you that you shouldn't leave me in charge of making any tea…especially not after the incident…"
Lilly listened to that part with curiosity. "What kind of accident?"
"Well…"
[~FLASHBACK.~]
Link could be seen sitting on the outskirts of his house in the Kokiri forest, he was sitting next to an improvised fire, on which he held a teapot with a wooden stick.
"Hey Stink, what are you doing?" The loud and annoying voice of a certain red/orange haired Kokiri asked.
"I'm making this drink Saria calls 'tea'…she said I must boil some water and certain ingredients to make it."
"Isn't tea a drink for old people? HA! That means you're an old man Stink!" Mocked Mido.
Before Link could say anything to his bully, the cup began to bubble intensely until it suddenly exploded. From the bubbles that emerged from the remains of the teapot, a huge Chuchu manifested itself, causing all the Kokiri to run away in panic.
At that moment Link looked at the scene and could only say: "Oops..."
[~END OF FLASHBACK.~]
"...You don't want to know..." Link said while scratching the back of his neck with a nervous smile, this made the girls look at him strangely.
"Anyway, Miss supporter, can you swear you'll never make the same mistake again?" Hestia asked, the goddess couldn't express what she thought of the pallum with Link present, so she decided to make a deal with the pallum.
"Yes, I swear. To Bell, to Link, to you, and more than anything to myself." Lili said before turning to see Link. "They saved me. I'll never betray them again. I don't want to."
At that moment, the goddess was silent for a few seconds before closing her eyes and sighing. "Understood. But I must ask you in favor" Instantly Hestia looked at Link. "To both of you."
Link looked at her a little strange, but he let her continue.
"Please watch over Bell." This took both of them by surprise, but the goddess continued speaking. "Keep an eye on Bell so he won't get scammed by any weirdos. Miss Arde, if you've really changed, then prove it with your actions."
Lilly just bowed her head. "Hestia..."
"I'll let you into the party." Hestia said, then she pointed a finger at Link. "And I'm leaving you in charge of babysitting him."
Link just looked at her with a deadpanned expression as she thought. 'We literally have the same age….physically.'
"But!"
"I'm back!" At that moment, Hestia interrupted what she was saying when she realized that Bell was about to arrive, so she just limited herself to whisper to the pallum in a low voice. "Be sure of one thing. Know your place."
At that moment Bell entered the room holding a tray with the respective drinks.
"Sorry I'm lat-" At that moment Bell was abruptly interrupted by Hestia who pounced on the Argonaut in an overly affectionate way, making him nervous at the show of affection. "G-Goddess!?"
Lili looked at this with a face that expressed surprise but at the same time jealousy, while Link looked at the situation with a deadpanned expression as he drank one of the cups of tea.
"So once more, hello there, Miss supporter. I hear you've been very good to my Bell" Said the Goddess with a smug look on her face as she thought: "You've joined this race way too late. So keep your hands off my Bell! You thieving beast!'
At that moment the pallum took off her cloak and with a look full of determination she rushed to hug Bell, while Link tried to enjoy his cup of tea. "Oh, not at all. Bell is always nice to me, too!" Lili said as she thought: 'I'll rise to any challenge for Bell, even a Goddes! Yeah I'm not going to lose!'
"G-Goddess? Lili?" Asked the white haired teen nervously as helooked at his swordsman friend with a look that said; 'Please help.'
At that moment the Hylian sighed and finished his tea before saving Bell from that situation. "Hey, didn't we have to go to the guild today?"
"That's right!" Bell exclaimed as he escaped from the affection of the two girls and ran off, comically dragging his friend in green as if he were a sack of potatoes. "I need to go to the guild and meet Eina!"
At that moment the argonaut shot out of the old church, dragging Link while he yelled at him that he was not a sack to drag, while he listened in the distance the discussion between the Goddess and the pallum.
[Location: Orario, Adventurer's guild.]
After a few minutes of screaming, Bell put down Link who proceeded to give his friend a hard smack on the head, leaving a comically bump.
"Never drag me around like that ever again." Link said annoyed while he was with his arms crossed, both adventurers had entered the guild with the hope that Eina would receive them at the reception, but to their surprise she was not at her desk.
"Um... where's Eina?" The Argonaut asked as he looked around trying to find his advisor. But Link quickly found the elf and told his partner.
As he turned around, Bell felt his heart stop as the elf advisor drew his attention. Sitting in front of Eina was a certain blonde girl, member of the Loki Familia, Ais Wallenstein.
At that moment, Bell panicked and tried to run out of the guild building, but his escape was impeded by the strong pectorals of a half-naked adventurer, which made Bell fall on his back while Link was heard laughing in the background.
"Excuse me."
At that moment Ais somersaulted, landing in front of the argonaut, who accidentally put his face on the sword princess's buttocks. When he realized what had happened, Bell turned around and gave a loud and very "manly" yell, which made the Hylian laugh even louder.
At that moment, Eina approached Bell and in an authoritarian way began to reproach him. "What are you doing, Bell? It's rude to run off like that."
While that was happening, Link was leaning against the guild's main desk as he banged on the table and cried while laughing.
A few moments later.
Having cleared up the misunderstanding of what had happened, Eina explained to Link that Ais Wallenstein, or the sword princess, wanted to return Bell's protective gear that he left behind when he fought the orcs. The girl also took advantage and apologized to the Argonaut, apparently before Link's arrival, Bell was attacked by a minotaur which Ais had accidentally let escape, but Bell, being kind as always, just told her that she didn't have to apologize and as he should be the one who was grateful to her, since she saved his life.
After the conversation, the three adventurers were standing in front of the main gate of the guild. At that moment the silence was interrupted by the sword princess.
"You're working hard at dungeon exploration, aren't you?" Ais asked, before she could continue speaking Link took the opportunity to introduce himself.
"We haven't been introduced yet, I'm Link and I'm part of Bell's Familia, it's nice to meet you Ais." Link said as he extended and offered a handshake.
Ais only looked at him for a few seconds and turned her gaze back to Bell. "It's amazing that you made it to the 10th floor so quickly."
At that moment, the adventurer in green fell to the ground in a comical manner, while Bell continued the conversation. "No, that's not true. I have to get stronger, but I have a long way to go. I'm not better than a beginner at fighting, and I can't get anywhere towards reaching my goal."
"There's no one who can teach you how to fight?" Ais asked, at which point Link took a step forward.
"Of course he does, I've been watching Bell's progress closely and I can tell you for sure that he is quite skilled in combat." Link said with a proud tone, his comment made the blonde girl look at him with a frown.
"Honestly, I don't think you'll be able to fulfill his potential." Ais said making the Hylian a little annoyed. "Wouldn't you rather prefer that I teach you?"
Before Bell could answer Link interrupted again. "Well, excuuuse me sword princess! But I am the right person to train Bell."
At that moment both swordsmen stared at each other, the atmosphere became serious and tense due to the duel of glances of those two.
At that time Ais proposed a solution. "Let's decide who gets to train Bell with our blades, I challenge you to a duel Mr Link." Ais said with a straight face.
"Challenge accepted Miss Wallenstein!" Link said, at that moment all those present were stunned by what they heard, someone had challenged the sword princess.
