upon the next day at daybreak, all of Bell's injuries are gone and he is able to heal and he was back at it, though, Hestia still felt discomfort in it as she hated to see Bell hurt, especially after hearing Loki was partially responsible for how Bell got hurt, she still remembered what happened yesterday.
upon Hestia waiting for Bell in the church outside, she was looking at her clothes thinking to herself when something caught the edge of her eye, she had seen a group of people with bell very hurt approaching and then saw Loki, someone she wasn't exactly too happy to see, though, she noticed something... different about Loki, as Loki approaches Hestia, she bowed her head, Hestia confused and then saw guild staff, the one female wearing a suit and Hestia got an idea of what happened.
Hestia:"... Loki, what did you and your Familia do, (menacingly) tell me now"
the guild staff then answered for Loki as Hestia looked at Loki, still bowing her head in an apologetic manner as Hestia then placed a hand on Loki's head and rubbed it gently as if comforting a child about to cry to calm them down.
Hestia:" you did nothing Loki, you're angrier to your Familia for their actions proves you didn't mean this, so I'll forgive you, (looking at the Loki Familia members who came) but all of you, you have a lot to make up for, now leave, I need to tend to Bell's wounds"
guild staff member:" despite less, the Loki Familia shall pay not only for Mr. Cranels medical bills but also pay a fine for compensation for any distress and public disturbance this has caused"
Hestia:" I hope you all don't think money alone will not be enough to make this okay, am I correct"
Finn:" I promise lady Hestia, we'll make sure to never let this happen again"
Hestia:" I hope so"
upon the Loki familia paying everything they owed Hestia and leaving, Hestia carried Bell in as Bell didn't take any medicine, he would have been fine soon as it was near tomorrow, and they rested, still Hestia did not sleep easy as she was uncomfortable about Bell's condition, and while taking into consideration the taxes they would pay and leaving aside money to help pay for Bell, Hestia had only 5000 Valas left for herself, and once she disclosed her savings, she went to bed, though, Bell though about something and decided to set a plan for tomorrow.
on the day after, the Loki Familia was in deep DEEP trouble, due to the equipment, armor, and weapons they would need to replace, the casualties reports they need to fill out, along with compensation funds to the families of said members, and paying back the Familia's that went along with them and helped them, as well as pay them for the casualties and their families for the casualties and also any collateral damage funds for their equipment being lost due to the Loki Familia's lack of action to prevent it, which Loki after the incident in the 17th floor couldn't deny responsibility for even if she wanted to, the Loki Familia were too much in the red, they were close to discovering a new color of dept danger level colors.
Loki:"... okay everyone, you all know how we have only water for breakfast now, right"
Tiona:" WHERE IS THE FOOD"
Riveria:" Unfortunately, due to the latest trip being... monumentally disastrous to lowball it, we've lost so much of our funding, we've got no more Valas to use anymore, and even if we get the reward money for the quest we've completed, we won't even be halfway through with our dept"
every member of the Loki Familia were silent in fear and anxiety (except Ais who was indifferent despite less) and they all got up and then headed to the dungeon, they needed money, so they were going to earn money even if it kills them due to how bad it was, some suggested having Ais be a high-end prostitute for the Familia... again, this has happened before due to such crippling debt before, and since it worked so well last time they suggested it again, though lefiya said it was a disgusting profession and should not be taken as a joke, though, as against it as Lefiya was, she had to admit, as in the red as they were, she might have to change their mind later, then Loki stood up.
Loki:" STOP STOP, I'LL HANDLE THIS AND HELP US OUT A LITTLE, now then, we all know we need money, so I'll just ask for a loan"
Gareth:" that's just transferring our debt to another person isn't it"
Loki:" yes, but at least we won't be in debt to the guild, the last time we were in debt with the guild, we had to do so many grimy things"
Finn:" and none of them helped my image as a light for my people, honestly, couldn't some of them have made us seem heroic"
Loki:" so what do you say Finn, do we go into dept with the guild again and go through that mess again, or do we go into debt with who I have in mind and we let it be"
Finn:"... just... just be sure they are not too wicked in their demands"
Loki then left as the others take about the main reason why they were in so much Debt to begin with, the incident on the 17th floor, granted that was indeed their fault no matter how you look at it, however, that incident opened a huge can of worms, namely on the person known as bell Cranel, every Loki Familia member knew his name by now, hard not to when you have to write a report on the person you get injured in detail, many blamed him one-sidedly, and many felt sorry for the boy, but a majority though he was lucky considering Ais wanted to kill him so badly, she needed her entire spine to be ripped out this time.
Gareth:" I'm honestly scared about Ais to be honest"
Finn:" why's that, though, I can guess why"
Riveria:" her spine had to be completely removed this time, it's getting worse and we may have to... you know"
Gareth:" I thought you took on the role of her mother"
Riveria:" what would be assuming we care for now another, I see it more like I'm keeping a rabies-infested tiger on a leash that I have to constantly keep an eye on or I or anyone will die"
Finn:" so you would be released when she dies"
Riveria:"... on some level... yes"
Gareth:" now like the lass thinks of us any better, all she see's us as if her possible next target, honestly, she might have been too much trouble for what she's worth, how many more members do we need to die before we finally decide to kill her"
Lefiya:" I couldn't help but overhear, as someone who has more knowledge than the both of you, can I put my opinion in"
Finn and Gareth looked at one another, forgetting that Lefiya is actually 59 years old and let her speak, oftentimes thank's to the Dunamis, and how elves look, it's far too easy for people to forget they are possibly dozens if not hundreds of years older than their peers.
Lefiya:" as someone who's been an adventurer in both the elven kingdom's dungeon and the human kingdom's dungeon and an adventure for at least 30 years now, I think it's fair to say that even without the "Avenger" Development Ability, there are people who do the same thing as Ais, whether it be killing indiscriminately, sleeping with men left and right, and even being void of emotions no matter what, if we think of it like this, can Ais really be said to be the worst of the bunch, at least with her, she will be satisfied when she killed in the dungeon, even if we need a leash on her at times, it's better than not having that leash at all to place on someone"
Finn:" I guess we knew what we were getting into with Ais"
Gareth:" and with Freya and her Familia, we need as much power as we can get to oppose her knowing she's the only one we really have to look out for"
Riveria:" though, once we no longer need Ais's power, I guess we can always kill her, besides, everyone here has done questionable thing's in their past that can be comparable to Ais, so we're not really in a real position to judge whether or not any way"
Lefiya:" right, since we've all done more than questionable thing's in our adventures at one point in time whether we intended to or not, who's to say we can't give Ais a chance, after all, there are still rare instances where whose with the "Avenger" Development Ability became famous heroes who saved a lot of lives, who's to say Ais doesn't end up the same"
Lefiya's thoughts:" though I say this, I myself say that with lots of doubt due to knowing Ais's extreme nature even by "Avenger" standards"
Tiona:" still, I feel sorry for that kid we hurt"
Gareth:" especially considering he helped save Oranio from a massive disaster and lessened possibly monumental damage and loss of life as well"
Tione:" yeah... why would the guild want us to know that about this... Bell Cranel if I remember"
Riveria:" to make us feel that much worse about what we did, and likely to show if something like this happens again, they'll be on his side first"
Finn:" and since Ais wants to kill Bell so badly she stabbed her neck to force it to move, I think it's safe to say we should keep the 2 as far away from one another as possible, and if she does come close to Bell Cranel, tear her entire spine out, and if that fails... we might just have to end her"
Ais heard all of this, but she was indifferent to it, to her, it didn't matter if they planned to kill her, it didn't matter if she was hated, it didn't matter if she was desired sexually, it was all just white noise to her, she only desired strength, but she couldn't help but think about that Boy, how she felt something, something other than the desire to get stronger, and she reacted to it, she will find Bell again, and this time, she'll kill him within a inch of his life, nothing will stop her form her goal, nothing.
late in the night, when Hestia got back from her walk to clear her mind, she walked in on Bell with a needle in his mouth as he was sewing something, apparently, Bell got a sewing kit and sewed Hestia a new set of clothing for her Hestia's new clothes had been made from material's he got from animals he hundred before from their pelts and also buy at as cheap a cost as ever and it was a short white with blue outline one-piece virgin killer dress that was far neater than her old one but had covered more with the right side being longer than the left and coving more of her leg than before which made Bell sometimes saw Hestia's white panties in due to how up the old dress was on her, but with this one, it's more decent in a dress form that won't have it be as easy unless she's sitting down (Bell didn't know if she wanted a full dress so he went in between) but still revealed a parge portion of her back almost revealing her behind stopping at the tailbone as well as the sides of her breast due to how large they were just like it did before with 2 white arm sleeve gloves that reach up to her lower biceps and kept that blue ribbon tied under her breasts around her arms that Hestia seemed to like, even going as far as to make her new sandals, but not just ordinary sandals, greek gladiator Sandals that cover her entire Calves with a diamond pattern for the lacing up her calf and feet knowing Hestia is a greek goddess this seemed to make the most sense to give her.
Hestia:" this is nice, really really nice, but I'm surprised you didn't sew me any pantyhose, not even panties or a bra for me"
Bell:" well, I need elastic materials for those and also... it's a little... embarrassing making them, plus, to make you a Bra, I'd need to ask for your... and I... couldn't just..."
Hestia smiled knowing she could poke fun at him for this and decided to have fun with Bell with this with a sadistic playful smerk.
Hestia:" (teasing voice) oh, if that was the only problem, so long as it's only for making me clothes, I can tell you my size if you want, just make sure you only use if for making my clothes... and nothing else"
Bell:" GODDESS, PLEASE STOP"
Hestia was able to get a good laugh out of Bell's innocence, later however, Bell would learn of Hestia's sizes simply because she would expect him to make her some underwear and pantyhose later on, till then, she would make do for now, but before she would turn to her bed and rest, Bell got a box form a store and handed it to her, the only clothing piece Bell bought were a pair of hair accessories that feature blue and white petals along with bell-shaped ornaments, Bell though she liked them seeing as she looked at them in the store window before and got them for her, when asked why he got them for her, he simply said because she gave him a chance when nobody else would and wanted to make sure she knew he was thankful to her, Hestia Blushed as she told Bell goodnight and fought with emotions on this.
Hestia's thoght's:" come on Hestia, you denied Apollo and Posiden because they only lusted after me, I am one of the virgin goddesses of my Patheon, I am not that easy to fall for anyone simply because they are a little nice and cute in their own right... as well as reliable, thoughtful, respectful- WAIT, NO MORE OF THAT"
Hestia would wrestle in her bed before sleeping and then dozed off, though, in the center of the tower, another goddess was having love issues of her own.
Freya was in her quarters, knowing the guild would want a full report of what she did when she was out, even if she tried to lie, they knew when she would lie, and likely they would send members from Artemis's and Athena's Familia knowing due to the god's they belong to, they would be completely immune to her charm, as much as Freya enjoyed them, she knew they would break once their bond with their goddess was broken, but enjoyed the fact they couldn't be charmed, but knew she would be in trouble and have yet another hefty fine on her Familia's hands.
Ottar:" what is your command my lady"
Freya:"... I'm bored, have 10 men come to my quarters, care to join them"
Ottar:" no, I prefer not to"
Freya:" you mean sleep with me, or share me with other men"
Ottar refrained from answering, however,r Freya could tell from his look he didn't like to share her, as such, she then pinned Ottar down to eat him up, sliding Ottars penis in and out without a single motion waistes, and due to her nest to pereless skill, Ottar ejaculated fast and was exausetd, but Freya was disapointed.
Freya:" oh my... so quick, and so easy, this si why I need more men, only won will not be enough to even try and entertain me... maid, sommon the men like I asked"
maid:" yes my lady"
Freya:" ( waiting for the maid to leave):"... my little Ottar, I remember when we firs tmade love, you were alway's a good toy to play with to somewhat entertain me, but over time, I got bored of you and your inability to expand your experience, maybe if you go after other women you could learn a thing or 2... alas, you seem adamint on only sleeping with me knowing I will never be faithful to anyone... but my destened Odr, you will by with me, no matter what"
Freya smerked while looking at the moon, grasping at it's light and though of her time with Odr, and when the men came, she laid with all of them, not wasting time at all for plesentries, and got her fill, though still unsatisfied, left again to masterbait to herself in order to release her stress, but still felt empty on the inside, she desired her Odr more and more as time passes, her infinite hell of emptyness from real love made Freya wish she could die, only then could she at least look forward to this agonizing emptyness to eventually end, alliss, immortality is the curse all god's and goddesses bere with no exception.
Author's notes
for why Ais was acting like that, I wanted to have another effect on Bell where his Humanities Heroic Asperation Skill has the effect on others and can negate their negative effects, so what happened to Ais was her emotions coming back, and upon that happening, even if it was only a little, any mean's of sorrow, pain, agony, and misery came flooding in all at once, while Ais cared nothing for killing innocence mortals since she was like that before, she did feel humiliation and defeat when she was beaten or subdued, as such, she deemed Bell as a threat to her getting stronger and thus, wanted to kill him
and before you ask, no, the other members don't know about Bell, only the executives know about him, as well as Lefiya, but her circumstances allow it, and as for what they do with this info, people already know about the Loki Familias screw up, and if it's revealed they almost got the one person who helped stop Evilus killed, their reputation, as well as their trust in the people, will vanish faster than a level 6 in this universe can move, so they are keeping a tight lid on that info, and while Ais is banned from seeing Bell, there are some who would like to meet him
the change of Hestia's clothing is going to be her standard clothes from now on, I wanted to make something more appropriate for her as I feel Bell, especially with him being a jack of all trades so of course he would know how to sew, would address her clothing now than later, also, I though of adding pantyhose for he to wear since I feel this can help add more class to Hestia, and for those into it, your welcome for the added fan service to imagine her in
as to Hestia Falling in love with Bell, I want her to fall in love with Bell like before, however, I want it to be at a more steady and natural pace where Hestia at first tries to deny her romantic love of Bell at first only to fall for it later, and she will be clingy, but the talorable klingy to give enough, but not to much, taking Hestia as a mature goddess into account while also making it obvious this is the first time she's acting like a maiden in love, and yes, she'll have Bell knowing her 3 sizes and body shape to bite him and any woman after him in the butt later, just wait and see
for Ferya, yes, she's going to be having a lot more sex forther in the story as well, including disturbing sex where she has sex with a guy while staring at Bell pretending the man fucking her if Bell/Odr much to the mans' annoyance and anger (another sorce of fuel to the fire for the Familia to hate Bell even though they've never meet him), for me, it was odd she wasn't shown doing so even in the LN, and yes, other characters will also be having sex, so if you can't handle my sex scenes and they will be detailed as well, please leave now, you've been warned
