Ishtar Familia House

Bell POV

After that debacle of being tackled into the ground, I was raised up and "willingly" dragged into a waiting room.

Now... I'm surrounded by several amazonesses looking at me like a piece of meat as I sit on the waiting room's rather comfortable sofa.

"For now we need to wait for one of the other rooms to free up so we can start... Unless you want to do it here? I don't mind~" Aisha-san said predatorily as she gave me a smirk waiting for my response to the rather enticing? offer.

'Honestly... I don't see a way out of here except Merlin-sensei's boon... But that would be a waste as it can save my and my friends lives... Should I just accept it? I'm really curious...' I carefully considered my options here, concluding I won't waste a boon here.

'It wont be so bad would it? Isn't it bad were from different familias in this case? Maybe that can get me out of here? Worth a try.' I thought as I found a possibility of escape here without the boon or sacrificing my precious purity.

"U-Umm Aisha-san, wouldn't it be a problem since we are from different familias? I-It would be a problem since we are from rival familias?" I ask hesitantly as I stare at Aisha-sans eyes as her smirk widens even further upon my inquiry.

"I see you have accepted your fate my dear student! Don't worry! When the dirty stinky stuff happens I wont be here to watch! So let loose my young tiger!" Merlin-sensei mentioned proudly as he gave me a thumbs up as he was floating near my head, probably traumatized from the earlier tackle.

"Silly Little Rookie, did you forget what we are? We are amazonesses... We kidnap men and keep them here for days to have our way with them~" Explained one of the amazonesses as she gave me a very disturbing smile at which all the other amazonesses agreed to her statement.

'O-Oh... SHIT' I thought to myself at this revelation, my face paling and turning blue from the thought of them having their way with me for days on end...

"I wonder~ How long should we keep you here~" Another one of the amazonesses said casually as if she was talking about the weather placing a finger on her lips in wonder.

"A few days at least... Until he dries up completely~" Aisha-san confirmed with a lick of her lips not removing her gaze from me.

I stare at Merlin-sensei pleadingly with my eyes practically begging him to get me out of here. As he stares back and flinches again.

"Well... Hmm... Let's wait a little more? You might still have a chance to escape? Don't worry!" Merlin-sensei responded to my plea with a very uncertain answer with a cracked smile on his face trying and failing to calm me down. As he proceeds to tell me to "Not Worry" as he gives me a very very fake smile and a thumbs-up.

At that exact moment the door slammed upon and... An ogre? entered the room angrily.

"Aisha! You brought a young boy here?" asked in curiosity the aforementioned ogre? as she turned her extremely disgusting gaze at me analyzing me completely, giving me the largest chill of the day thus far.

"OH MY GOD! IT'S UGLY! GET IT AWAY! BURN IT!" This was Merlin-sensei's disgusted reaction upon sighting the ogre as he blocked his eyes from the sight? Then he unblocked his eyes with the resolve of a true warrior.

"D-Damn, that is one ugly bitch. She looks like the love child of Kermit the frog and Shrek... Ain't no way I'm watching some reverse ugly bastard today! Bell! I promise you! The moment the creature lays a hand on you, I use a boon! No complaints! Like, eww man..." Merlin-sensei resumed his analysis of the as of yet unnamed creature absolutely disgusted, addressing her as the love child of some 2 unknown beings? As he reassured me I will escape from here if it touches me...

"Phyrne! I found him first! You're not stealing him away from me! You've stolen enough!" Aisha-san yelled at the now named ogre in anger as she directed her full attention at the ogre pointing at her and getting closer to her.

""Yeah get away from him! He's ours!"" yelled the rest of the amazonesses that have probably made an order in which who gets me after Aisha-san as they made a united front against Phyrne-san.

'Thank god! Don't let her touch me...' I thought to myself with tears in my eyes in gratitude

"Bell... Don't want to be the obvious one here, but while they argue over who gets your precious virginity, I suggest tiptoeing out of here. Unfortunately we have not covered stealth techniques in our training as of yet. But! This will be good live practice!" Merlin-sensei suggested to me in a whisper as he landed on my shoulder in his usual spot. At which I hurriedly looked at him in realization seeing him wiggle his scaly eyebrows? and I nodded my agreement to his plan and slowly got up and started to sneak out of the other door not in their point of view.

"Kekeke... Aisha-san for a boy this beautiful, an ugly bitch like you isn't worth it! But I am the most beautiful woman there is! As beautiful as Ishtar-sama is she pales in comparison to me! Kekeke!" Phyrne-san laughed and in glee like a generic villain as he ridiculed Aisha-san as she seemingly lacks self awareness.

"Look in the mirror you toad! You're horrid! He's ours and that's final!" Aisha-san said challengingly as she came close to Phyrne-san staring into her eyes.

"Kekeke Aisha! You want to fight over him? You know I'm stronger... He's mine and that's final!" The toad thing responded finding Aisha-sans challenge extremely funny as she stood even more confidently, announcing her taking me as hers...

As all of that was going on I was mere inches away from leaving from the door opposite of where they were... Until I felt? No... Sensed multiple gazes land on my back, forcing me to turn around and see EVERYONE staring at me predatorily. Causing me to sweat drop and go pale in color.

"Bell... Stick training shall now prove itself useful once again! But before this! Roar my child! Roar! Let the world know you will not be caught here today! Let them remember this day as the day they almost caught... Captain. Bell. Cranel! Run! Run like the wind!" Merlin-sensei yelled his motivating speech in passion commanding me to move as he pointed his claw hand thing in the air.

"HRYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I scream out a warrior's roar that sounds out of place with my very squeaky voice, that nonetheless still delivers it's message as I burst into a run faster than I have ever run before...

"FIRST TO CATCH LITTLE ROOKIE GETS HIM!" Screams out one of the amazonesses announcing the familia-wide game of cat and mouse. As all of the amazonesses burst into speed chasing me.

As I pass through multiple hallways decorated quite beautifully, which I lack the time to appreciate as I'm trying to escape here with my chastity in tact. Stick Training comes out once again as life saving as I dodge multiple tackles and grabs at my body as I continue to scream a panic fueled shout as I run.

"HRYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

'IF I GET CAUGHT I WILL CEASE TO BE BELL CRANEL! ALL MY HOPES AND DREAMS WILL SHATTER!' I think to myself in panic and to further motivate my escape efforts.

"Go left and jump down the staircase!" Merlin-sensei commands with certainty as he resolves to be my navigation device as I focus on running and dodging. As he said that out of the staircase pops out an amazoness

"Little Rookie... Found you~" She says as she jumps over towards me to grab me.

I dodge and jump over her then kick her head to use as a booster. Ouch.

I jump down the staircase to find an open window, I look left and right and see no one.

"Go outside through the window and hide in some of the bushes. Also! That will be the last time I guide you! From here on out in the outside you must escape through your own efforts!" Merlin-sensei commanded and announced as he will not be helping me any further than this. I nod resolutely and make my way through the window and hide in some of the bushes.

"I'd suggest looking around for an opening, I won't tell you where and when one is so good luck!" Merlin-sensei says as he continues to shatter my hopes of having an easy escape, as I turn to look at his amethyst eyes pleadingly.

"Don't look at me like that! I can't be helping you all the time remember? It's a YOU problem not a MY problem! Besides! It'll be good practice so don't be a pussy!" Merlin-sensei waved off my pleas with his own logic... Which is rather logical.

"I know Merlin-sensei... I just can't help but hope you know?" I respond tiredly as I sit down and let out a sigh of relief that at least the situation is not that bad.

"Yeah Yeah I know... If I had a Merlin on my shoulder I'd also ask for some freebies! Completely understandable! For now though... Why'd you sit down?" Merlin-sensei responds in an understanding manner as he questioned why I'd sat down.

"I'm tired... Give me a few minutes to regain my composure and energy so We can escape." I respond in exhaustion as I explain my reasons as I am truly stressed out and tired.

"Fine... But the longer you wait the higher the chance they find you so do keep that in mind kid. And remind me to get a work on your stamina, your quite pathetic. HAHAHAHAH!" Merlin-sensei agreed to my decision... As he laughed at my inadequacy as an adventurer in an amused manner while poking my face. I respond with a sigh filled with dread.

'At least while I rest I get a chance to look around and appreciate the majesty of this Familia house... Never mind it's location and inhabitants...' I think to myself tiredly and in worry gazing around and seeing the size and beauty of this place... The gardens the building itself the rather peculiar red lights all around...

As it seems Merlin-sensei had the same thought... Although a different angle of thought...

"Seems like prostitution is a very booming and profitable business here in Orario! Unless their more likely than not, dealing with more shady types of business to further their profits!" Merlin-sensei mentioned as he inspected the gargantuan Familia house and appraised their... Successful business model while returning his signature shit-eating grin. At this comment typical of Merlin-sensei my mood can't help but be SLIGHTLY soothed and I of course roll my eyes at his atypical comments.

-Short Time Skip-

As I get up and start moving looking for an opening out of here, I manage to find one and escape the Familia house itself to my relief. However to my dread it seems the ENTIRE pleasure quarter is under the control of the Ishtar Familia and it seems seemingly everyone is searching for me in this entire place! I discover this around a few minutes into arriving in the streets of the pleasure quarter in one of many conversations relating to me.

"Have you seen Little Rookie? White hair Red eyes?" One amazoness asks

"Umm yeah around 10 minutes ago I believe a boy with those characteristics was suspiciously moving around?" Mentions one of the women working around the streets of the pleasure quarter

'That means I have to escape the entire quarter as well...' I think to myself in dread as I strengthen my attempts to sneak around.

"Well, this place is a bloody maze... Good luck kid! HAHAHAHA" Merlin-sensei says "encouragingly" in "good" humor as he widens his smirk at me. As he disappeared for a few seconds to get a better view of this place for his own curiosity... And to my despair.

Knowing the futility of asking Merlin-sensei for a way out of this place, I ignore his comment and turn a corner to meet my eyes with an amazoness. My eyes widen in panic as her eyes widen in glee and a grin forms on her face, while a panic settles in mine.

"LITTLE ROOKIE!" She roars out with all the strength of a probably level 2 adventurer can form in their vocal cords.

"HEEP" I react in fear as I turn to run the opposite direction... At which I meet another amazoness.. and another... and another until I realize I'm surrounded and quite literally cornered.

'W-WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO?!' I think to myself in panic.

"I'd suggest in this case you go into one of the hotels or houses in here to hide. It's a pretty obvious decision Bell." Merlin-sensei suggest in a deadpan and disappointed tone as he noticed the panic and hopelessness on my face.

"R-Right!" I respond and run towards the closest and largest hotel that has a rather distinct Far-Eastern look to it? that seems to have a lot of rooms judging by it's sheer size.

I enter the hotel in lightning speed shocking the alluring receptionist and I move towards the second floor, then the third then the fourth and stop there and enter a random room and in contrast to my speed close the door silently and gently.

*Sigh*

I look to see nothing in the room except its obvious Far-Eastern architecture as I fall on my butt in exhaustion and sigh a great sigh of relief.

"Hmm..." Merlin-sensei let out a sound as if he was thinking of something as his hand paw thing touched his scaly chin in a thoughtful manner as he stared further into the room seeming to notice something in it.

"What is it Merlin-sensei?" I ask in curiosity looking at him, noticing his stare at the deeper parts of the room and I stare in return. I stand up and resolve myself to investigate.

I move towards the deeper and less lighted areas of the hotel room and upon passing through a doorway I notice... The same renard I saw earlier in the day? The one Merlin-sensei forced me to remember the face of. A blonde and Far-Eastern dressed and quite beautiful renard.

As I stare in confusion at the renard sitting in a seiza with her eyes closed she starts to formally introduce herself.

"I see how it is..." Merlin-sensei mentions ambiguously in realization as he narrows his eyes at the renard and then turns his gaze at me giving me a knowing smirk.

'I knew she would be back! And this soon too! My cliché skills have never failed me!' Merlin-sensei thought with pride at his correct? Guess.

'Now the question is how critical would this girl be? There might be the chance she has absolutely zero purpose in the story... However in my humble and completely based draconic opinion she will be critical! Let's look at the options! Random prostitute? Not likely. Future main love interest? Not likely as well. New harem member? Probably. Hotel? Trivago. Conclusion... New harem member is the most likely option!' Merlin-sensei thought to himself in excitement considering the options and future of this new girl we had just met. Shamelessly concluding her future relations with me.

'She will in my humble and completely based draconic opinion, have at LEAST a mini arc! 2 episodes maybe?' Merlin-sensei continued his shameless thoughts as he rubbed his scaly chin in thought.

"Welcome dear guest, my name is Haruhime." she says submissively and very formally as she starts to rise up and makes eye contact with my eyes making me notice her beautiful green eyes as she approaches me and grabs my hand to my further confusion

"I will be your companion for the night. Please come this way." Haruhime-san says as she gives me a reassuring and precious smile and starts to drag me away.

'Wait... Did she say companion for the night?!' I think to myself in a panic and start to shake my head and I begin to engage my usual survival instinct in this situation.

"Huh, Em, Er I! I'M SOR" I begin to madly mumble and stutter as Haruhime-san uninterruptedly drags me away to a room where I see a Far-Eastern style bed.

At which when I see this I gulp loudly

"Uh er No I... *BAM*" As I continue to mumble my excuses and rejections I slip and fall into the bed in a careless lack of awareness to my steps. Making me and Haruhime-san land in a rather precarious situation and position as we lay down.

"Now, this time I was prepared! Be thankful I was! Else I would've committed homicide in front of the pretty fox girl! Anyways do enjoy yourself! I'm out for now! I'll be back when the naughty fornication is done! Cya champ! Don't embarrass me! And enjoy HAHAHHAHAH!" Merlin-sensei casually mentioned murdering me because I fell as he declared himself leaving me to my fate. As he laughed heartily at my situation whilst floating above my head, Which got cut off abruptly by him vanishing without a trace, not allowing me to beg for help.

"Is this your first time dear guest?" Haruhime-san asks red in the face as she keeps eye contact with me as her hot breath reaches my face as our faces are mere inches away from each other.

"P-Pardon?!" I ask in shock my face turning equally if not more red than hers.

"Very well. Please leave everything to me dear Guest." Haruhime-san says as she rises up and begins to take off her clothes?!

"Er, W-Wait!" I scream out trying to stop this my face turning practically crimson

"Don't worry dear guest, I'll take care of everything. Let me handle everything..." Haruhime-san says sensually and in a calming manner as she lowers herself down to take off my shirt getting her face dangerously close to mine.

"Please relax..." She whispers sensually making me lose my mind

'G-Grandfather! I am about to become a man!' I think to myself with tears in my eyes as Haruhime-san takes off my shirt and then...

"A-A Man's?" She says in panic as she stares at my collarbone?

'A Man?!' I think to myself in panic at her words

"A man's collarbone!?" Haruhime-san whispers in a panic at which she falls down?

"Um, Hello?!" I scream out raising myself to a sitting position to look at her... And see she is knocked out cold.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?!" I scream out in sheer confusion and panic.

"You know, in all my hundreds of thousands of years of travelling through other worlds I see a lot of things and experience a lot of things, and it's rare for me to see something I've never seen before at least once. And honestly, This is the first time I've seen a woman get knocked out cold from seeing a mans collarbone. Like that is so oddly specific? How fascinating! Wonder if there is a story behind it!" Merlin-sensei mentions in wonder and shock as he seemingly pops back into existence staring at Haruhime-san impressed.

"Y-You were here the whole time?!" I scream out exasperated at Merlin-sensei staring at him with wide eyes

"What horrid accusations! What kind of mentor would I be if I heard you scream in sheer panic and terror and not come running to your rescue! Your doubts hurt me oh so much Bell!" Merlin-sensei with mock hurt as he widens his shit-eating grin. To which I attempt to calm myself down and roll my eyes at his behavior.

"Although how sad, and here I thought my boy was about to become a man! No worries you have the other 4 members of your apparent harem you can get comfy with! Although I have yet to meet the other 2... Got to get with the memo for sure." Merlin-sensei expresses teasingly his disappointment at the result of this situation as he placates my worries of not losing my purity?

"Again! What harem are you on about?! And this is the preferred outcome Sensei!" I retort Merlin-sensei in anger and exhaustion.

"I see you are keen on keeping this strictly Ecchi only! Anyways onto the more important topic what do we do with that?" Merlin-sensei expressed his acceptance of my stance and moves onto the more pressing concern as he points at with his hand paw thing at the knocked out renard.

"I-I don't know?" I answer with uncertainty

"Now that was not a useful answer dear Bell! Think! What is your current situation? What can you do about it? Is the answer logical? Is the answer right in accordance to your moral code and values? Always think Bell! Once you stop thinking you will be lead by others to their intended outcome instead of yours all your life! So think!" Merlin-sensei lectured patiently at my ignorance while staring deep into my eyes as he used his claws to pose each question.

"H-Hai Merlin-sensei!" I respond in a salute and stoic facial expression

"Now this was and still is a stressful day so I wont maul you for that stutter but keep it in mind okay?" Merlin-sensei mentioned narrowing his eyes and piercing me with his gaze

"YES!" I answer more sure of myself

'What to do... I need to escape from here... But I can't leave Haruhime-san alone after being knocked out... Who knows what would happen to her... I can't leave her alone...' I conclude my course of action no matter the consequences.

"I think we should stay and keep guard of Haruhime-san until she wakes up! I cant leave her alone like this!" I tell Merlin-sensei resolutely staring at him.

"Good! Now since this is your final decision. What are the benefits and detriments of this decision?" Merlin-sensei asked me with a nod of his head

"Umm, I get to hide here from the Ishtar familia, however I delay my escape from here and they may find me?" I answer with all the answers my feeble mind can come up it.

"Decent but that's not all, consider this. When she wakes up you can ask her for information on how to escape from here, or guide you away from here, information about the Ishtar familia and much much more! If you were to try and get out of here in this bloody maze of a place on your own, the chances of getting out of here without getting caught would be abysmally low. And waiting around for her to wake up would be better since as the longer you wait the less fervor they will have in their search for you. So! regardless of your altruistic reasons for staying here and guarding the foxy girl this IS the correct course of action. So! Very nice Bell!" Merlin-sensei lectured proud with a smile, proud of my decision and giving me a pawed thumbs-up.

"Thank you Sensei!" I smile in response and nod thoughtfully at his analysis

"Now! We wait!" Merlin-sensei announces our course of action as I nod in agreement
