Bell POV
"You're a level 7!" Miach yelled after giving Zald his falna. He was then shushed by Zald and me as people were sleeping.
"Sorry. But wow I thought there were only a few level 7s left in the world" Miach said setting the paper down.
"Aye, there is. But the empire has a few of them as well. Don't know what's going on there but it ain't nothing good" Zald said.
"So Zeus wiped what you did from everyone's memories as well?" Miach asked.
"That he did. Wants me to look out for the boy as well. Looks like the old man really cared for you since he resurrected me" Zald said.
"Are you angry you were resurrected?" I asked.
"No lad. If it means protecting Materia and Silvers boy then I'm glad to be of use" Zald replied.
"Well good your help will be needed Freya has her eyes on me," I said.
"Ah, the bitch who can't keep her legs closed. That's gonna be a problem lad I can't be everywhere at once" Zald said.
"Bell actually has a plan for that," Miach said. We were all sitting around a table in the living room. The fireplace providing some lighting in the dark room.
"Huh smart as well. You sure you're Silvers boy" he asked letting out a chuckle.
"I had Alfia help raise me you think she wouldn't let anything short of perfect be acceptable" I joked back. He let out a hearty laugh before turning serious.
"So what's the plan you've thought of boy," Zald asked.

I reached my new room at about two in the morning. I opened the door and saw a bed that was twice the size of my old one. It had white sheets with a red cover and pillow casings. The carpet was an extravagant purple that covered the whole floor. My nightstand was on my left side and my table was pressed against a wall on the right side of the room farthest away from the bed.
I looked up and saw the ceiling wasn't made of marble but of a fancy type of wood that I didn't know the name of.
Knock knock knock
I heard someone knock on my door. I took my knife and put it on my table before I opened the door and saw Aisha standing there.
"Come in. It's time I answer you" I said. She nodded her head and walked in taking a seat on my bed as I shut the door. "Beds comfy," she said as she bounced on it.
I sat down next to her and grabbed her hand in mine surprising her. "Everything alright?" She asked.
"Aisha you know I care for you right?" I asked as I looked into her eyes. She saw the nervousness and seriousness in them and nodded.
"I-I-I care deeply for you. For everyone in our familia. I love hanging out with everyone. I love exploring the dungeon with them. I love our celebrations and I love the memories we make-
"Bell it's ok to say no. I won't be hurt" Aisha cut me off.
"That's the thing I don't want to say no. But I also don't know how to love like that. I don't know how to love you the way you want. It was just me, my grandpa, and my aunt and that was it. No village or anything just us. I told you when we met I don't know how to show affection like that"
I then turned to face her. "But I don't want to keep you waiting. I want to try to at least learn. Or to make you happy in some way. Because I think you're an amazing woman Aisha. I really do-
Aisha cut me off by moving my face up to hers and kissing my lips. This time it wasn't a quick peck like at the wargame but she leaned into it more. I was caught off guard for a moment before I kissed back. After a minute or so we parted and she smiled at me the moonlight shining directly on her.
"Bell. Hearing you say all those things is making me fall in love with you all over again. However, I won't force you into a relationship if you don't think you're ready" she softly said. I went to say something but she cut me off by sticking her finger up.
"However that doesn't mean we can't be intimate with each other"
My face flushed red at her insinuation. "Y-you mean sex" I stuttered out. "If that's what you want sure," she said shrugging her shoulders. I swallowed a nervous lump in my throat before answering.
"Y-yeah I-I think I'd like that"
I saw a smile spread across her face before she pounced on me. "Just know you can back out whenever you want" She then got off me and took off her clothes before laying down on my bed.
"Now come and get your birthday present. I'm yours for the night" she said alluringly.

Welf POV
"Damn looks like I fell asleep in the forge," I thought to myself rubbing my hair. I yawned and stood up walking outside but stopped seeing a man I'd never seen before.
"Um hello, can I help you," I asked as the man practiced his swordsmanship. He stopped and looked at me and I could feel the power coming off him.
"Hello lad name's Zald," he said sticking his hand out for me to shake. I shook it still confused on what was going on.
"Bell's grandpa asked me to look after the boy. I arrived late last night and joined your familia hope I'm not a bother" he said.
"Um no you're not. At least not to me. Say you feel strong what level are you" I asked.
"Why I'm a level 7 lad. Ex Zeus familia executive right here" Zald said.
I jumped out of my skin. An ex-Zeus member I thought all the higher-ranked ones were wiped out.
"Easy lad I mean no harm. Besides we're familia members now" he said with a jovial grin on his face. I relaxed a little since I knew for a fact he didn't mean any harm.
"Say you wouldn't happen to be Welf would ya? Bell gave me a description of ya. Said you're a blacksmith. Gotta say you make some pretty good weapons" he complimented.
"Uh, thanks. Do you want to head inside for breakfast? I'm sure everyone else would like to meet you" I asked.
"Sure I don't see why not. I'll cook so that way everyone knows I mean no harm"
"You can cook?" I asked.
"Oh trust me boy my cooking will blow your socks off" he joked. This guy doesn't seem that bad.

Miach POV
Well safe to say everyone was surprised when meeting Zald. Not every day you get to meet a legend. His cooking was fantastic might have him and Haruhime make breakfast from now on.
"Miach dear have you seen Bell or Aisha," Nazha asked.
"No, my sweet I have not" I replied.
"Hmm wonder where those two are," she thought aloud putting her finger to her chin.
"He was up pretty late last night. Maybe he decided to sleep in" Zald said.
"Yeah, but that doesn't explain where Aisha is" Lena added.
"Heh heh heh heh heh" Regis came into the dining room giggling. "What's so funny Regis?" Welf asked.
"You'll see in a minute" he cryptically replied.
"Hmm you all are quite a rowdy bunch in the morning" Laurier quietly said.
"Sorry about that ms Laurier. We just really enjoy each other's company" Haruhime said. Laurier was quick to put her hands up.
"Sorry I didn't mean to be disrespectful I just meant you're quite lively" she added.
"You'll get used to it," Lili said leaning back in her chair.
"Lady Lily don't lean back so far you'll hurt yourself" Mikoto worriedly said.
Before any more conversations could continue we heard footsteps coming our way. We turned and looked at the entrance and saw Bell carrying Aisha in his arms with a goofy grin on his face.
"Morning everyone," he said.
Everyone paused and looked at the two. They saw the hickeys on Bell's neck and the handprints on Aisha's neck.
Before anyone could say anything Regis busted out laughing while Zald dropped the pan he was holding. Welf's fork was hovering in front of his mouth while everyone else started dumbfounded.
"Ha, they fucked" Regis laughed before rolling on his side and laughing some more. "The boy is a man"
Bell's face flushed red as he put Aisha in a chair and sat next to her looking at the food.
"Lad I just met you and I gotta ask again. Are you sure you're Silver's son because he was too scared to do that to your mom? Hell she had to drag him to bed" Zald said.
"Remember who Gramps is?" Bell asked.
"Fair point," Zald said as he picked the pan back up. Luckily it wasn't full of food.
"Oh my god you two did the snu snu" Lena cheered. Bell buried his face in his hands while Aisha had a beaming smile on her face.
"Well the rabbit comparison isn't far off" Aisha teased.
I cleared my throat getting everyone's attention. "No talking about sex at the table. God's orders" I told them.
"Thank you Miach" Bell said with his face buried in his hands.
"So when are the little amazons gonna run around" I teasingly asked causing Bell to groan.

Aisha POV
"Alright, Bell feel the weight of the sword. It's different from dawns ballad. It's heavier but you have better reach and more weight to your blows" Zald instructed. He had taken both Welf and Bell aside for sword training. He said it doesn't matter how good you are if you forget the basics you're screwed. So he had the two relearn the basics.
"My ain't this a nice view," Lena said, and a nice view it was. Both Bell and Welf were shirtless as summer was winding down but it was still scorching hot today. Bipolar weather.
"I have to agree with you there sister" I replied. We sat on the grass across from them as they trained. Even though I felt no attraction towards the smith he did have the muscles of one and Bell was filling out quite nicely. Yes quite nicely.
"You doing ok over there Haruhime" Lena asked. Haruhime's face was bright red and she looked like she was gonna pass out at any second now.
"H-how much longer do I have to do this," Haruhime asked.
"Until you don't pass out when you see a man's collarbone" Lena replied. "Now chin up they're still practicing," Lena said bumping her shoulder against her.
"Alright now you two are gonna fight against me," Zald said as he took his great sword out of his sheathe.
"What," the two said. Zald then pointed his sword at the two. "You're gonna fight me. No magic. No skills just use the sword" he said.
The two looked at each other and Bell spoke.
"We're about to get our asses whooped," Bell said.
"Don't say that now I'm scared" Welf complained.
The two then faced him again and Bell said the most basic plan.
"You aim high I aim low," he asked.
"Yeah why don't you bite his ankles while you're at it" Welf joked.
"Careful I might hit you on accident" Bell replied.
The two then charged at Zald and swung. He easily parried the two of them and hit both with the flat side of his blade. It sent the two flying back and they bounced on the ground a couple of times.
"Well you're coordination is decent and you didn't get knocked out from my hit god job" Zald commented.
The two groaned in pain as they sat up. "Oh come on that was only 25 percent of my strength. Get up we're going again" Zald said.
"I forgot how hard a suppressed level 7 can hit" Bell groaned as he got up.
"Oh, I think somethings broken," Welf said as he also got up.
"Welf. Let's do soaring eagle" Bell said.
"Got it"
The two then charged at Zald again. But before they reached him Welf crouched down and Bell jumped off his shoulders. He flew through the air toward Zald as Welf sprang to his feet. Zald grabbed Bell's leg and slammed him on the ground before tossing him at Welf. Bell slammed into Welf's stomach and keeled over.
"Not bad. Not bad at all. That tactic works for targets that are bigger than you. If I was around your levels that might've worked" Zald congratulated.
"What's going on out here," Laurier asked as she walked up to us. Her face immediately turned red once she saw Welf and Bell.
"See something you like you shy elf" I teased.
"N-n-n-no" she stuttered out.
"Liar liar pants on fire" Lena sang.
"Come sit with us. Maybe you can keep Haruhime awake" I said.
"I uh um I uh" she stuttered her face bright red.
I rolled my eyes and put my hands over her shoulders which were covered as elves didn't like people touching them. I moved her over to Haruhime and sat her down.
"Now enjoy the eye candy before they're all black and blue," I said retaking my spot next to Lena.
The four of us then watched as Welf and Bell got their asses locked for a few hours.

Bell POV
After the sun was setting Zald called an end to training for the day. It was harsh but not as harsh as Alfia's cause he made sure not to break any bones. I grabbed my longsword and put it in its sheath before putting my shirt back on. It felt weird feeling like I was a piece of meat. I mean Aisha and Lena I expect they're amazons. But Haruhime and Laurier were not what I was expecting.
"So have a name for it yet," Zald asked as he and Welf walked over. I looked at him confused for a second before a look of realization made its way onto my face.
"Yeah I'm calling it basilisk tear" I replied. The two nodded their heads agreeing with the name.
"Alright, Bell let's head to the guild so I can re-register. Can't wait for the uproar this will cause" Zald said.
We walked out of the gate and down the street. "So lad how are you enjoying Orario so far," Zald asked.
"It's alright. Some good stuff happened some bad but can't complain" I responded.
"Guess you could say that about anything in life lad. So you and the Amazon huh" he said as a teasing grin appeared on his face.
"It's complicated. I grew up with just Gramps and Alfia. So I don't know how to love people like that. But Aisha said she would wait but she also said that didn't mean we couldn't be intimate" I explained.
"So you're fuck buddies then?" He asked. My face flushed red in embarrassment. "Y-yeah I guess you could say that"
We arrived at the guild which was empty and lucky for me I saw Eina working there.
"Yo Eina" I hollered. She looked up from her desk and a relieved smile spread across her face before she walked up to us.
"Hello Bell glad to see you up and about" She then looked at Zald. "And who's your friend," she asked.
"This here's Zald. He's here to re-register as an adventurer" I said.
"Hmm, that name sounds familiar. Never mind I'll get the paperwork and is it alright if I talk to you after this Bell" she asked.
"Yeah sure it's no problem" I replied. She smiled before walking off to get the paperwork.
"So a half-elf too" he teased.
"Don't you even start" I bit back He let out a laugh before Eina returned.
"Just fill out your name, age, level, and, familia and you should be good to go," Eina said. "Go talk to your girlfriend while I fill this out," Zald said.
Eina blushed while I grabbed her gloved hand and flicked Zald off as we walked to another booth.
"Sorry about him he thinks he's a comedian," I said.
"I-it's f-fine. Can you let go of my hand please" Eina asked. I quickly let go of her hand and apologized.
"It's ok. Bell I have a favor to ask you" Eina said.
"Sure anything you need" I responded.
"Ok um. My mother is sick. Has been most of her life and there's no cure that we know of. Now I know this is a lot to ask but I heard from someone that Leywin's can control this thing called Aether and it can be used for healing. So I was wondering if you could try and heal my mother" she nervously asked. She adverted her eyes and she was shaking a little.
"Yeah sure no problem. Does your mother live in Orario or do we have to go to her elsewhere" I said. She let out a sigh of relief before she looked at me.
"She lives outside of Orario near Melen so not too far. I can get us passes for a couple of days" Eina said.
"Alright, when you get the passes swing by the manor and I'll see what I can do. However, I can't make any promises it'll work. I only have second-hand knowledge of it and have only used it once" I explained.
"That's ok as long as you're willing to try" Eina cheerfully said. She must really love her mother.
"YOU'RE A LEVEL 7!" Misha yelled as I assume Zald just handed in his paperwork. Eina's head swung towards me and I could see Zald shaking his head.
"Surprise," I said with a nervous smile.
Bell finally got laid. LET'S GOOOOOO
I probably won't write lemons as those aren't really my thing. Maybe one day. Also fun fact Danmachi amazons can only be girls.
Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed the little wind-down chapter cause the next few are gonna be like this before the next arc. Also to clear up any confusion Zeus didn't erase Zald from everyone's memories he only erased what he did during his time in evilus from everyone's memories. Now I'm gonna deviate from canon more and have some Zeus and Hera members be alive. I might make them members from other series or I'll make them an oc I don't know. Because one I don't like oc's and two I don't want this story to be filled with other characters.
I'll figure that out later. Also, Bell's plan is gonna remain secret for a little while longer.
Well if you enjoyed leave a comment and tell me what ya think. Later.
