on his way home, he dropped off his new weapons, wondering how he was going to use them in combas considering he can't possibly carry them all and still fight how he's use to, considering taking only spare ones at times, and then got the guild card he hid earlier, he then decided to pay a visit only because he needed to confirm something with them knowing anything about him and headed to the guild at night where nobody was around, but a singular light at a door with the number 6 over it, this wasn't a room number, this was the level of security clearance you need to enter, and since it had a light on it, Bell knew one thing, he then got the card, and opened the door, walking in, he saw stairs leading up and then walked up them, he didn't have weapon's on him so he headed till he saw a room with the same number 6 on top, he then used the card again and entered a room where he saw a single table with 3 chairs, he couldn't see well in the dark, but he felt the stares of the people's eyes.

Bell:" I know you 2 are there, I can't see you, but I can feel your gaze on me"

Fels:"... you're more perceptive than we originally thought"

Rose:" certainly more than able to know his surroundings, he's promising"

Bell:" so, this meeting with these guild members, what is this about"

Rose:" let me explain, we at the guild have many things we need to take care of, however, more than 90% of our actual work is under the darkness of night if you know what I mean"

Bell:" and you need people to act as a sort of secret police where the people can let their guard down and we do thing's against most of the laws to get thing's done, is that it"

Fels:" you catch on fast, a lot of the things we do here at the guild are in the morally grey only, we are neither black nor white in anything even though we need to seem that way in public, so we need people to act as our hand at times"

Bell:" and you're asking me to join"

Rose:" correct, I myself became a member after the incident from 7 years ago, one you helped to mitigate damage in, technically speaking, since then, we've been looking for you to recruit you since, to think you were only 7 or 8 by then"

Bell:"... I assume you're not just asking me to work for free"

Fels:" you will get double the worth of the Magic Stones you bring as well as have half your Familia's taxes "paid" for as well as be given certain privileges as well, and for any and all "Fines" we have to give your Familia, consider it only a piece of paper with words on it and nothing more, and even if you do have to pay, you only have to pay half of what's on the paper anyway"

Bell:" so you double the price of the fine to compensate"

Rose:" catches on real fast, but still, you will also be allowed to break some laws, some publicly, some in the shadows, for instance, say you kill someone, so long s there are no credible witnesses even if his criminal buddies try to say you killed a friend of theirs... we'll look the other way and say they are full of it"

Bell:" sound's like a slippery slope"

Fels:" we have procedures and protocols, help's paint a line, but don't take the rules as an absolute but a guide instead"

Bell:"... I guess this is how order is really maintained in Oranio"

Rose:" with how the gods and goddesses are, we have to do this or there would be uncontrolled chaos"

Bell:"... I'll join, but on the condition that my identity is hidden, and whenever I meet other members, I hide my face with a mask and helmet"

Fels:" acceptable, that's also the wish of 90% of the other members as well, and as for your identity, we have been falsifying or redacting most of your information due to the nature of shadows needing to be indispensable and unknown"

unbeknownst to anyone in the room, Freya got the papers of Bell only for the only things that were true on their being his name, age, hair color, eye color, height, weight, and other visible thing's about Bell, but lied about everything else, namely where he was from, his kingdom's origin, his hometown, and other things like that, inadvertently helping Bell out a lot.

Fels:" here is a special cloak for your services in our order of shadows"

Bell looked at the Cloak and say it wasn't your standard cloak, it was one of the special cloaks that had a storage magic to contain weapons, how it works is that it stores weapon's in a space that can contain upwards of up to 25 weapons, in term's of long-range weapons, it can hold up to 50 throwing knives or arrows to be used by a bow before it will be counted as "2" weapons in this case, because of this, it's often used by many veteran adventurers as well as some well-funded knight groups, because of it's versatility and reliability, it's valued as one of the most important parts of an adventurer's kit, and it's pricy as well despite being very universal, so for Bell to get this, especially now, it was a godsend, of course, Bell still planned to have some of his weapons' visible such as his daggers, sword, and shield, but other than that, he fixed his one issue, now to plan for the other issues to face going forward.

as Bell was in this meeting, it was a slow day for the Loki Familia, the transactions and transferring of Valas took longer than expected, but the Loki Familia did it, they were now only in debt with the Artemis Familia now, and it may have only transferred their problem over to another person, but for the most part, at least Artemis isn't the type to ask favors as often as other god's and goddesses, especially someone like Freya, who one time asked Loki to see Ais for a second, only to remove Ais's control collar with a special item she hid in her sleeve which immediatly sent her on a rampage, thousands died and Loki as well as Freya, who was forced to help Loki since she started it, lost about half their Familia's before they were able to stop Ais, and even so, thousands of civilians still died, and Freya said she only wanted to see what happened if such a thing occurred with her own eyes, she knew people would die, she just wanted to see how many for sure, and due to her antics, Freya couldn't exactly be pinned for it since in the past, Ais has indeed broken out of her collar before, making convicting Freya tricky since their is no real proof, but as they were talking, Lefiya drop's massive news she talked about as if it was just another thing to talk about.

Lefiya:" oh, mom says she's coming over to visit soon today and-"

everyone in the room with Lefiya:" WHAT"

Lefiya:" what are you all-... oh yeah, mom's the queen of dark elves, that sometimes slips my mind"

Alicia:" (snappy and annoyed) how can you possibly let something as important as that slip your mind... (realizing she's talking to royalty and changes her tone to compensate for before with politeness and elegance) with all due respect your majesty"

Lefiya:" stop that right now, none of your majesty stuff, we've already talked about this, and for your information, it slips my mind every now and again cause mother never makes me treat her like royalty, but rather as my mother first and foremost above all else, as well as the fact she's somewhat of a goofball and pulls prank's on me or others from time to time"

Riveria:" I meet her a few times, I can confirm that's her to a T, last time she was here, she dyed my hair pink and made me wear that little girl's costume to wear all day"

Finn:" (trying to hold in his laughter) oh I remember that... it was great"

Loki:" and I know one person she's visiting, but now we're on good behavior due to how intense things get when she visits"

Gareth:" even though last time she was here, she challenged everyone to a drink off and drank us all under the table while rattling Lefiya like the baby she is"

Lefiya:" I MAY NOT BE A LEVEL 4 YET TO GET MY FULL ADULT BODY, BUT I CAN AT LEAST BE TREATED LIKE A ADULT IN TIMES OF-... (breathing in and out to calm down)... (clap) and for the fact of the matter, I am older than you, so if I'm a child, what does that make you"

Finn:" I've always wondered, what's it like having the mind of a near 60-year-old, but the technical body of a 5 to 6-year-old"

every elf in the room:" (a deadness in their voice where you're in pain, but so use to it, it has little emotion in it) a never-ending cycle of random hormones that make us act so chaotic and random we can't tell up from down or right from wrong"

Finn:" now I'm sorry I asked"

Riveria:" those who aren't elves wouldn't understand"

Ais:" isn't Riveria the oldest aside from Loki being 179 years old, so why's she bothered by this puberty thing since she should be past it, and why is it important, it's just another thing they have to deal with since elves are more or less just overgrown babies with a Dunamis anyway, right (for context, this is like saying "it shouldn't be a surprise for a N****er to be shot by the police" for those wondering if this should be offensive)"

every elf was silent as the other races moved out of the room slowly not wanting to be involved anymore, due to Ais's lack of emotions, racist comments like this are common for her, another thing people with the avenger skill or those who are Lawful good are commonly associated with.

Riveria:" first, mentioning my age is irrelevant, and second, say what you just said again and you're going to be drowned again young lady"

Lefiya:" oh, that reminds me, since mom's coming, I need to put on my dress and such, or else the Stewardess would give me another class on "royal etiquette" again, and I don't care if I hate the dress"

upon hearing those words Riveria shivered as she remembers these classes as well, and enjoyed them just as much as Lefiya did, which was to say she would do just about anything to avoid being in one again, then lefiya left to get ready, and upon getting the first of 5 layer's of her dress on, Loki was sneaking to get under Lefiya's dress.

Loki's thoughts:" oh I can't wait to see the elven underwear, elf underwear is the most perverted, their culture has them wear underwear that is basically flower leave shaped padding that sticks to their private areas, breast tape in a leaf-shaped form for their bras and a string thong in a flower petal-like form with 2 side petal shapes in the front for their panties, I NEED TO AT LEAST SEE THE THONG"

and then Loki came from under the dress to see the wondrous sight before her eyes, in Loki's view full of all her hopes and dreams, the dream of any pervert who will gladly die at that moment, she saw black shorts... black shorts.

Loki:" (dead inside with all her hopes and dreams completely and utterly crushed and destroyed) ... spats... that show nothing, not even an outline of your underwear"

Lefiya:" I have compression shorts under this dress goddess, did you really think I would risk it with a perve like you around"

Loki:"... (completely given up on life tone) kill me, just kill me and end my pain"

Lefiya:" oh no, your agony won't be absolved through death, you suffer, you suffer"

Loki then cried in shear and utter agony and pain from her dreams being crushed as hard as they did in the corner for half an hour before she then just became salty and bratty like always when this happens, and Lefiya was finally in her dress, dressing herself was a hassle every time, namely because her royal princess dress took about 10 minutes to put on with help, and half an hour by herself, the only real reason she put it on herself was because last time she had help from fellow elf and dark elf Familia members, they basically defaulted to her royal staff, and it annoyed Lefiya so much, she burst out the room in a rampage, so this time, she did it herself for her sanities sakes, remembering it put Lefiya in a sour mood as she then looked in the mirror, only to see wet stains around her breast as Loki stopped her tantrum in the corner upon smelling something fragrant and of milk (elf breast milk has a very potent fragrant to it)

Lefiya:" oh come on, not again, now of all times"

Loki:" wait, why are you lactating, you were never pregnant and also still a virgin"

Lefiya:"... oh yeah, you didn't know about the other times, well... I have no idea why, maybe because I'm stressed or nearing my period... or it's seasonal and it just happens like this, it happened around last year as well, but then again it also happened a few months ago so no... but that explains why my breast have been getting larger as of late"

Loki:" how the heck do you not know"

Lefiya:" THERE ARE FEW DARK ELF AND ELF HYBRIDS LET ALONE HIGH ELF AND DARK HIGH ELF HYBRIDS THROUGHOUT HISTORY, I CAN'T KNOW HOW MY BODY WORKS WITH ALL THAT"

Loki:" my mistake, my mistake, you're right your right, I shouldn't comment on you not knowing... still, can you go out like this"

Lefiya:" no, I'll have to get the pumps and drain them again, tell my mother I'm draining myself, she'll know what I mean"

as Loki left, dozen's of her elven members carrying rope, fire, and clubs looked at Loki angrily as Loki told them she wasn't able to see Lefiya and if she did, Lefiya would have killed her and also that Lefiya was draining herself for every elf and dark elf their to know what she means, Riveria then walked with her dress as she said that the queen of dark elves was near

authors notes

yes, I'm adding more lore and items to cannon Danmachi, however, it's interesting to see Bell have to work with the struggle of maintaining his morals or saving people through immoral actions, I plan for Bell to be someone of high morals, but just like with the Xenos, he will do anything, even if it ruins his name and reputation, and in this case, Bell will not kill anyone if he doesn't have to, but he will do what he must if he is pushed to do so

I decided to introduce Lefiya's mother into the mix namely to add pressure on Freya since she is the one person that Freya can't get leverage on, especially since I plan for her to be part of the Athena Familia so Freya can't use her charm against her, and the timing for it being the day before Monsterphelia is also no coincidence either, also, for notice, I'll be adding story from the Loki Familia's side from the point of view of Lefiya after she left Bell from the Dungeon to help paint a picture on their side since I plan for thing's to be detailed, and to add content as well, whether your happy with it or not matters not

Riveria being 179 years old (80 years older than in the official content) it's to have her argument with her father be more akin to a teen's rebellious phase since this happened about 20 years ago when she was in her 150's by the time it happened, and for that backstory, I plan a few things differently for her, and don't worry, there will be a dedicated chapter similar to Ais's ova to show backstory for her, though, for now, this will focus more on Lefiya and the Loki Familia since it can't all be about Bell

the lactating things is part of Lefiya's biology and to show how little she knows about her body due to being a hybrid, shows that her situation is that much more special since she doesn't know her body too well, and also introduce certain thing's that make her special since she lactates while she never been pregnant or had sex, it also is to show how sensitive Lefiya is to people asking how she doesn't know much about herself since hybrids are special cases in this world
