Bell was on the north side of the city today as he was selling materials he got from the dungeon finding some of the best places to sell, since he was told by the guild which the best sellers were, he was able to make more money more consistently as well as be given special classes as well, learning thing's Enia wasn't even allowed to tell Bell, though, while walking, he had a shiver run down his back and knew exactly who it was, then came the voice Bell wanted to stab so much for all the trouble they caused him.

Syr:" BELL, OVER HERE"

Bell's thoughts:" just ignore her, just ignore her, just ignore here"

and as Syr moved in front of Bell to forcibly grab his attention, Bell moved past her, only for Syr to then tackle Bell to the ground as she forced his attention even harder, but as a level 1, Syr only hit Bell as Bell was forced to acknowledge Syr being there since she was trying to now pull his pants down as he then yelled to her with anger and annoyance.

Bell:" WHAT"

Syr: (shush), I'm scouting a rival of ours"

Bell:"... okay bye"

Syr:" wait, aren't you going to help me"

Bell:" no, none of my business"

Syr then grabbed onto Bell's arm as he tried to get Syr off him as she screamed to help her, while Bell called for help from people passing by, but in Oranio, just about everyone worth their salt knew what Syr was like, so instead of helping Bell, they all looked away and moved elsewhere fast not wanting to be dragged into another of Syr's antics since they all knew Syr was someone who was rich and powerful enough to pay off the near thousand fines she gets on a monthly basis, so they do their best to avoid Syr, there is even a floor dedicated to people who want no presence of Syr in the Hostess of Fertility often times having Syr forcibly dragged away when entering the floor.

Bell said no many times but Syr wasn't having, it, throwing a tantrum as well as trying to pull down his pant's if he wasn't going to help her, passing by people internally apologizing as they passed by not helping Bell, and after a few minutes, and only when Bell said he'll help her only to stop her knowing if he did harm Syr something bad would happen by everyone's idea of Syr, he didn't want to, but every time he tried to escape she would grab onto him, dragging him into the restaurant to scout it out.

The restaurant was called "Urania Rose", it was a smaller restaurant than the Hostess since it was not near mansion size as it seemed more like a traditional restaurant, even if the restaurant had a barn-like shape to it with half the roof missing replaced with a rooftop garden to have an outside view of the city with small trees and bushes, the walls seem to be made of a wood-like Oak and Maple with a greek theme as there were special Greek Corinthian Pillars around the restaurant as well, the windows are clear so you could see inside, and the outside also had tables and umbrellas over them for people who want to eat outside, and it also had these same Pillars on the edge of the walls to seemingly show it holding it up, Bell had thought this one had more of a homely feel to it, a place you can relax, there was even a musician stand playing soft music that anyone can enjoy, same 3 layers as the Hostess, but more accommodated to customers, and it had lots of people, and the smell of the food was divine so Bell thought if he was going to eat here anyway he might as well enjoy it.

entering the restaurant, he saw it was lively, and far more built suited to a restaurant than what he saw in the Hostess, the tables were smooth, the floor had a rug instead of wood, and the menu made sure it was easy to read and also had a kid's section as well, compared to the Hostess, this felt like a real restaurant able to accommodate everyone and not a building makeshift to accommodate a restaurant as one since the design of the structure better supported a restaurant, especially since it also seemed more family-friendly with the benches tables, and chairs having smooth edges instead of sharp points that can hurt someone.

the food around smelled heavenly, he even saw Artemis and Athena sitting at a table as he sat at a table for one, despite Syr insisting they sit together for their date that Bell did not agree to, first it was a steak out and now a date, Syr was something else entirely, and bell said to her face he didn't like her many times, this is when the staff asking Syr to stop bothering their customers again for Syr to throw a drink at them and demand an apology for their rudeness to her as a customer since they have to do everything she says and then got dragged away, the regulars didn't even blink to this as Syr screamed as she was dragged out.

Bell:" good riddance"

Aphrodite:" her again, why can't she let things be for once"

Bell was then surprised to see a goddess in the chef's area as he then remembered something he hear from when he was in the Hostess, of all the goddesses of beauty, only Aphrodite can cook food that was heavenly, the rest cook food so bad it was worse than all the poisons in the world, but seeing Aphrodite, Bell remembered the name and then realized that this was likely Aphrodite's restaurant, Urania Rose, he should have seen it coming to be honest, then he had Athena sit at the Bar ordering a strong drink along with the rest of the Athena Familia with Bell behind them as she then asked Bell a question.

Athena:" hello Bell, how was the meeting"

Bell:"... your Familia is part of the shadows then"

Athena:" yep, so we're going to be working very close together from now on"

Bell:" then I look forward to working with you"

Aphrodite:" hello hun, what do you want up here"

Athena:" let me look"

Athena then puts on reading glasses and this catches Bell off guard for a moment as he heard gods and goddesses had excellent healing, so he thought that they wouldn't need glasses.

Bell:" oh, I didn't know you were hyperopia"

most of the members of the Athena Familia looked in confusion till Bell said Farsighted, then they understood.

Athena:" yeah, even gods need glasses, for some of us anyway"

Bell:" I guess I still have a lot to learn in medicine"

Athena:" I thought you wanted to be an adventure, not a doctor"

Bell:" it's a fallback for when I retire as an adventure, besides, who's to say my medical skills won't save me in my career as an adventure"

Lyra:" the kid has a good head on his shoulders, I like it"

the night goes off with some good food Bell can actually enjoy and then leaves later, then is attacked by Syr again.

Syr:" YOU ABANDONED ME"

Bell:" of course I did, I never wanted to be near you in the first place"

Syr:" YOU BAILED ON OUR DATE"

Bell:" I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE NEAR YOU, GO AWAY NOW"

while Syr goes off crying, Hedin is trying to decide if he should be angry at Bell for hurting their goddesses feelings... or sad for Bell literally being outed for thing's he was forced to do after being annoyed beyond what many would assume is their breaking point before they start punching people, seeing in person how their goddess is treating Bell, nonetheless, he is loyal to his goddess, but he's going to bring up the topic of treating Syr and Freya as completely separate entities, which went far smoother than he expected since even the executives had to admit that their goddess is... something, so they shouldn't hold the 2 in the same light, for sanities sakes anyway.

but not all was well as at the Hostess of Fertility, they got a fine again because of Syr causing trouble in Aphrodite's establishment... again.

Anya:" OH COME ON, THIS IS THE 983RD ONE THIS MONTH, AND THERE IS STILL A WEEK LEFT IN IT"

Chloe:" I'm sick and tired of having to be blamed for Syr being some jackass to everyone and everything playing games and pranks that I'm surprised didn't kill anyone yet"

Lunoire:" just another reason why Syr gets away with the thing I think, the guild not acting seems odd, but since she pays off the fines, she's not being thrown in jail, in fact, Oranio's income has increased by 25% due to Syr paying so many fines, so unless she kills someone I don't think they're going to get rid of the cash cow anytime soon... no offense Silvia"

Silvia was a Minoboar, she has large breasts that are suspected to be J cups, has black and white hair, ears, and tail, and brown eyes, and since she's a combination of a cow, comments like that could be offensive.

Silvia:" none taken, I can agree the cash cow herself is impressive being able to pay off so many fines she became a source of income for the city, honestly, I'm not sure if the guild hates her or loves her for all the fines she has to be given and pay"

May:" whatever the reason, I wish we could fire her, do you know how many time's I have had to throw away the food she cooks and how much food she wastes by having to throw out the food we cook because she didn't get the order right just giving the people whatever she wants them to have"

Chloe:" not only that, she takes breaks whenever she pleases, she always pushes her chores onto us, and the real kicker, she sometimes steals our paychecks saying she's earned them due to us being lazy and goofing off all the time while she carries the restaurant... THE NERVE OF THAT ABSOLUTE BITCH"

Anya:" so she's a terrible cook, a terrible maid, and all around, a terrible person who steals and abuses her co-workers, how or why she wants a job she's not even going to try and be good at especially as loaded as she seemed is beyond me"

Lefiya:" Sorry I'm late, I had to do a few things with mom"

Mia:" you're fine, I know the time accommodation with your mother in town, get dressed and we'll get you-"

Vannea:" hello all, where's Lefiya"

the Dark Elf Queen suddenly showing up made everyone know this was going to be a hard day, last time she was here, the Hostess was basically converted into a makeshift throne room for her.

MIa:" oh no, you're not turning my pub into your thrash zone again, out"

Vannea:" relax Mia, I'm only here to see Lefiya to ask her if she can come with me on Monsterphilia"

Lefiya:" I thought that was a given"

Vannea:" great, we'll go by 8, don't be late"

as she left, Vannea took a look that the tower of Babel and had a serious look, then walked off, almost as if she was looking at someone, and also might e the real reason she was staying in Oranio for a while and the main obstacle for her in the mortal world she would never ignore for the life of her, few would know who this was for, and as a certain person at the window looked on, she then looked and called her attendant to her side.

Freya:" Ottar, make sure Bell doesn't enter Aphrodite's restaurant, I can't see his soul when he enters, those Pillars have special Anti Magic material that makes it impossible to see his soul... it's almost like Aphrodite made her establishments and home like that intentionally so I couldn't see it"

Ottar:" it would make sense, she sees you as a threat my lady, so she likely made sure to counter you more than anyone else"

Freya:" Whatever the reason, I can't allow even a second I can't be able to see his soul even if I'm not looking"

Ottar:" my lady, if I may be bold to ask, why do you wish to see his soul at all times, surely it isn't imperative that you can see his soul every second of every-"

Freya:" OF COURSE IT IS, my Odr is my destined one, the one who will love me, the one who I shall love, the one who can bring me true happiness in my eternity of misery and loneliness, my eternal Helheim... just once, I want to be happy again, to truly love again... and I will do anything to get that, even if I ruin the rest of my life, that moment of happiness will be worth it"

authors notes

yes Aphrodite owns a restaurant that is just as if not more popular than the Hostess of Fertility, I wasn't making her a great cook and doing nothing with it, and I think you can guess who her 2 favorite and most frequent customers are, the main thing I have this restaurant as if a safe zone from Fryea since Freya's eyes can't see in here due to Aphrodite adding something to the Pillars as a way to have absolute privacy from the gods, this play's huge throughout the story and also act's as a new restaurant for Bell to go to from time to time namely due to the fact Bell in this story likely wouldn't want to go to the hostess as it is with Syr and all as well as be a good place for the god's and goddesses to

the restaurant is partially inspired by the Temple of Aphrodite, I looked it up to help with this, some other way's to spell or name it are there, but this should be enough

yes I'm having new staff members added, and read the next chapter, it's going to be dedicated to the staff, and to make it seem like how the Hostess would be on a peaceful day, I'm going to make sure Syr doesn't go to work that day so you can see how they operate normally

yes I'm adding Freya's motivation early on, namely to put some form of humanization to her, only to help make clear why she's so desperate to find her Odr to the point of basically wiping out entire kingdoms
