Everyone was currently getting seated in their recliners, waiting for the god to start the first world.
Tiona: So, which one is gonna be first?
Rolan: What kind of world do you all have in mind?
Hermes: How about a future world? One where the Black Dragon is dead.
They all looked to themselves and decided that would be somewhere they could agree on.
Rolan: Alright then.
Everyone began to find their seats. Although it would take longer than normal as the women would look for the seat nearest to their rabbit. It ended with Bell in the middle, Artemis to his left, Freya behind him and the rest of his family to his right. The rest of the girls cursed their luck of not being next to him.
Ais: *Jealous*
Aria: Is something wrong sweetie?
Lyra: Something the matter, Lion?
Ryuu: No...
Lili and Hestia grumbled quietly while Haruhume sat with Take and the others with her ears and tails drooping a bit.
Rolan: Now then, let's begin.
He snapped his fingers as the lights dimmed and the screen lit up.
On Screen
AN: Anything on the screen being shown will appear bold while the audience talking will be normal.
The screen showed the Hestia familia's home. More specifically, it showed an older Bell running away from a little blonde haired boy.
Zeus: So this is Orario in the future? But why show Apollo's home?
Rolan: Well, because it became Bell's home along with his familia after they defeated Apollo in a wargame.
Meteria: You beat the Apollo familia?
Bell: Well it wasn't just me, my friends helped me along the way.
Finn: Maybe, if you don't count the fact you beat his level 3 captain alone being only level 2.
His family turned to the prum who only smiled.
Hera: Haha, that's my grandson.
Zeus: Nice work, Bell!
Bell blushed at his family's praise. Their focus soon returned to the screen to see an older Bell, naturally many women blushed at the sight of him.
Meteria: My baby turned out so handsome!
Hestia: AH! HE'S HOT!!!
Lili could be seen passed out with blood coming out from her nose, much like some others. Some like Welf and Bete were impressed by how the boy turned out to be.
Misha: Hey Eina, you scored a nice one.
She teased her friend who became a stuttering mess trying to stop her.
Rose: Whose the little boy chasing him?
Their minds went into overdrive when they got a better view of the boy, red eyes and blonde hair. There was no doubt that the two were connected. Their questions were answered when they heard the boy speak.
Albert: Take this, dad!
Everyone: DAD!?
The boy mimicked a spell shooting from his hands as Bell played along with him.
Bell: Gah!
Bell faked being hurt and dropped to the ground in pain as the boy fell on top of them. The two soon laughed together.
Hera: What a nice family.
Welf: I'm an uncle?
Hestia: So if Bell is the dad, then who's the mom?
Rolan: You'll find out, but first.
He snapped his fingers and Loki squeaked when she found herself cuffed to the chair.
Loki: The hell's this for?!
Rolan: Safety precaution.
They returned their attention to the screen when a woman spoke.
Ais: Bell, Albert!
Bell: Hi, dear.
Albert: Mommy!
The two looked at the woman happily as she brought a basket with food for the three to eat. Back in the theater, the room was in uproar. Bell was flushed in the face as he saw his future with Ais. Ais was doing no better as she saw her life with Bell and her son.
Ais: (Me and Bell?!)
Aria: So, that's your hero?
Albert: You even named your son after me.
Her family was happy to see their daughter living a happy life, although some weren't at that part yet.
Loki: LEMME AT IM! I'M GONNA KILL THAT RABBIT!! NOBODY STEALS MY AIS!!!
The god was thrashing to get free in her chair as many others looked in surprise.
Welf: *Whistles* Not bad, you got the most desired woman in Orario.
Bell: *Bell.exe has stopped working*
His friends and family were happy for him, but there were some who had a look of sadness on their faces. Lili's face sunk when she heard that while Haruhime looked on the verge of tears. Hestia was already crying and Artemis felt conflicted seeing her lover with someone else. Ryuu tried to hide it but she was also about to cry.
Rolan: Artemis, you are already dead in this instance so you won't make an appearance for a long time, but everyone else won't have to cry yet.
Their wondered what the god meant before the Ais on screen talked to her Bell.
Ais: So now that our son is 6, are he and his sister going to begin ther adventuring lessons?
Albert: Yeah, Alise and don't wanna wait anymore!
Bell: I'll be taking you and your sister to Lefiya today, after lunch.
Albert: Yay!
Ryuu: Alise?
Alise: I'm there?
Rolan: Not exactly.
Astraea: But we all clearly heard her name.
On screen, they saw them finish eating and then they went to a familiar restaurant.
Mia: Still going strong, that's good.
Rolan: Your pub losing its fame to time is next to impossible. It's name is set to echo for centuries.
The dwarf smiled in pride that her work would become a legend. Back on screen, Bell and his son walked inside.
Bell: Hello?
Alise: Papa!
The audience was shocked to see a little half elf girl, about the same age as Albert, run up and hug Bell.
Anya: Nya, who's that?
Lunoire: Probably the sister they mentioned.
Meteria: She's a half elf though. How can the two kids be related?
Alfia: You didn't...
Hera: It can't be...
Rolan: Zeus' teachings ran deep in Bell.
Hera: I'll kill you!
Zeus: HELP!!!
While the god was being beaten again, they spectators thought about who the mother would be. The girl still had her father's eyes, but her hair was the mystery, though a certain family of justice was giddy for some reason.
Kaguya: There's no way.
Astraea: Ryuu? Do you like that boy?
Ryuu: I-I...
The elf was a blushing mess made worse when her captain spoke up.
Alise: Aw, you loved me that much ti name your kid after me?
Ryuu: There's no proof she's mine! (Please be my child with Bell!)
Her words and thoughts conflicted with each other. She felt her world collapse when she saw the child between Bell and Ais, but this girl brought hope back into her heart.
Ryuu: Alise, don't run like that, you'll trip.
Alise: Sorry, mommy.
Ryuu: Just be careful, Mama Mia wouldn't want you to get hurt.
The elf turned and saw her husband.
Ryuu: Bell.
Bell: Hi.
The two quickly kissed each other which shocked many in the room, and a elf waitress was steaming from her head.
Ryuu: (YES!)
Kaguya: Oh my, how bold of you. And in front of your kids too.
Many of Ryuu's friends teased her about the child she had while the elf mentally celebrated. With Bell...
Hestia: BELL, YOU CHEATER!!!
Bell sweatdropped at his goddess before feeling a chill next to him. He turned and saw Artemis with a menacing aura around her, her eyes covered by her bangs.
Bell: Artemis?
He was nervous, and her speaking didn't relax his nerves at all.
Artemis: ...
Bell looked closer and saw her crying a little. He asked her about it and she told him about the jealousy she felt for the other girls. Rolan had to speak up and remind them that they always had their 10,000 year promise, just that it was 10,000 years down the line. Although, Bell promised to live out their love now that they were back together.
Back on Screen...
Ryuu: Alise is ready to go. Ardi will be staying here.
Bell: Good, let'sget going now.
Alise: Okay.
He left with the two kids, but everyone was confused as to who the other one was.
Ardi: I'm in there?
Rolan: No, she refers to her second daughter. She is about a year apart from Alise, but both are the children of Bell and Ryuu.
Lyra: Wow, couldn't stop at just one?
Ryuu: Please stop...
Her familia laughed at their youngest sister's embarrassment. Everyone else was shocked that Bell had a third child.
Zeus: Mr Rolan?
Rolan: Hm?
Zeus: Just out of curiosity, how many children does my grandson have in this world?
Rolan: Well, the easiest way to cound is by counting his wives since he has at least one with each of them.
Hera: He has more than just those two?!
Rolan: Of course he does, much more.
Most of the men in the room:
Alfia: And just how many are we talking?
The god holds up all of his fingers. When he does, Bell's face turns bright red while the men get even more jealous. Alfia and Hera were practically furious tha their boy had gone down the path they wanted least.
Miach: My, ten seems like a lot for him.
Rolan: Who said it stopped there?
Everyone: Huh?!
Rolan: I just ran out of fingers to hold up for each if his wives.
Everyone: WHAAAAAAT?!!
Lili: T-Then, how many are there actually?
The prum tried not to sound desperate, but she like many other girls had to know if they were lucky.
Rolan: Let me answer your question with a phrase to keep in mind during your stay here, "If you're a woman who is close to Bell in his life, then you're practically in his harem already."
They were stunned to hear that the boy was such a powerful magnet to women. Zeus and Hermes felt immense pride for him, but also jealousy.
Haruhime: So-So there's a place for us in his heart?
Rolan: Why yes, there is. In fact, in that world, most of the girls here are already wed to him.
Alfia and Hera grumbled more that their Bell turned into a bigger womanizer than Zeus.
Hera: (To think that it came to that. I'm sorry I failed you, Bell.)
Albert: I don't know how I feel about our daughter sharing her husband.
Aria: Ais?
The girl, being honest with herself, didn't like the idea of sharing.
Ais: It's my bunny...
Aria: Aw, she's jealous darling.
Albert: I don't think we should be happy about that!
Aria: But we never saw this side of her, we have to collect everything we can.
Back on Screen...
Bell and the kids arrived at the Loki familia home. The guards greeted them and let them inside to find Lefiya and Tiona in the main hall.
Both: Bell!
Bell: We're here!
They exchanged kisses before he handed the kids to them.
Bell: Behave you two.
Albert and Alise: We will.
Lefiya: Don't worry, I'm sure they'll do fine.
Bell: I know, but Ican't help it.
Bell just smiled nervously before waving goodbye to his kids.
Mia: Kid makes a good dad, lucky you.
She eyed Ryuu who shrunk into her seat to hide herself. Tiona was happy to see herself have a future with Bell while Lefiya was trying to be honest with herself and not be angry with the human. The show went on as he greeted more and more of his wives. The guild staff nearly cheered when they saw Bell and Eina. The half elf herself was red to her ears which only got worse when they saw their little 5 year old daughter organizing papers. Royman nearly lost his mind when he saw a guild officer and an adventurer in a relationship. Riveria was happy to see her friends daughter live a good life.
Eina: Thank the gods she isn't trying to he an adventurer like her father.
Rose: That's certainly a relief.
Misha: Come on, at least we get to be the best aunt with our adorable niece at work.
Rose nodded with her coworker as she smiled at that idea. The show came and went as many more girls had their wishes granted when Bell kissed them on screen. Lili was ecstatic while Haruhime predictably fainted. Hestia glad she at least got some affection from her child. Zeus had to be gagged since he couldn't stop screaming about Bell's harem, much to Alfia and Hera's annoyance.
Rolan: So, how was that one?
Bell's Lovers: AMAZING!!!
Rolan: That one seemed to be a lot to digest, so we'll take a break before going to the next one.
Everyone nodded as he guided them to where there was food and drinks along with a bathroom. Many were happy with that future, but there were still many more worlds to explore.
AN: World number one, check. If it wasn't apparent, this was a bit of a flashback from my Embers story to Albert and his siblings growing up. This was probably a bit on the shorter side, but I wanted this to set up the next challenge. Specifically, a challenge to Bell's lovers and how they were able to get their rabbit for free since a certain Hera familia adventurer wasn't their to gatekeep. Hopefully they manage to appease her if they want to have Bell.
Anyway, that's it for now. Thanks for reading and see you in the next one.
