New Member and First Time in the Dungeon
"I hope your Goddess Hestia will accept me into the Familia." Leina said, a little worried of her first meeting to a Goddess.
She and Bell are walking together as the sun sets slowly with nighttime slowly approaching.
"There's no need to worry, Goddess Hestia is a kind woman who took me in when all other Familia turned me down. She believed I have what it takes, so I'm sure she'll see you the same way!" Bell believed with confident.
Then he starts to remember the wise words from his late-grandfather once said to him.
"Bell, a promising young Adventurer like you need to find love in the dungeon. Once you rescue a young maiden from a big, ugly, terrifying beast you'll be in her good graces and that is what adventuring is all about."
"(It just like you said, gandpa, except that girl Ais Wallenstein saved me and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to truly earn her respect. And that goes for Leina too.)" Bell thought.
Soon, they made their way to where Bell and Hestia are living together, in an abandoned old church.
"I'm surprise you two can stand living in such a place like this." Leina commented, seeing the building is empty and all.
"I know it's not much, but someday we're gonna turn this place into a great home!" Bell proclaimed.
"Come on, we live in the basement." Bell lead Leina down the stairs and they reach a small room.
"Goddess Hestia, I'm home! Are you here?" Bell asked then, as if on cue, a short woman jumps onto him.
"Bell! You're home! You're back early!" She said.
"Well, I almost got killed in the dungeon today." Bell chuckled.
"Oh no, are you hurt anyone?" Hestia asked checking on Bell to make sure there aren't any wounds on him, then she notices the blonde girl standing behind Bell.
"Bell, who is this woman with you?" The short woman asked, looking at Leina suspiciously making her nervous.
"Oh, this is the Goddess I told you about, Goddess Hestia." Bell introduced Leina to the Goddess of the Familia.
Hestia is a beautiful and petite Goddess with a youthful appearance. She has blue eyes and mid-thigh length black hair tied into two twin tails which reach down to her mid thighs. Her hair is tied with hair accessories that feature blue and white petals along with bell shaped ornaments. Her usual attire is a white mini dress with a blue ribbon around her neck and one tied under her breasts around her arms, and a pair of white gloves. And she appears to be barefooted for the most part. Breasts sizes: FF-cup.
"H-hello, it's an honor to meet one of the deities in person, my name is Leina Vance and I hope to become a great member of your Familia!" Leina introduced herself with a quick bow.
"Huh, Bell… did hear that right?" Hestia asked her first member shock.
"That's right, she came here to have the life of an Adventurer and when I told her about you, she decided to come join us without hesitation!" Bell explained.
"Hmm, so you wish to join our Familia, huh?" Hestia asked.
"Yes, when I was a little girl my mother would tell me stories about how people would go into the danger of the Dungeon as each floor are deadlier than the last and that she used to be an Adventurer before, which is why I'm here to find my own path of an Adventurer to become a strong warrior and see what destiny has in stores for me. And I also felt a strong when I first met Bell and told me about you, I knew this was meant to be!" Leina explained with a great speech and showing determination in her eyes that Hestia finds it impressive.
"I promise for I, Leina Vance, will pledge my life to you and swear to protect our family from those who wish to do harm to us. Please, accept me as your new family, Goddess Hestia!" Leina said, bowing on one knee as she stabs her sword to the floor.
"(Whoa, this girl is serious, and her strong spirit remains me of when I first met Bell seeing the same potential!)" Hestia thought surprised.
When she first started trying out to form her own Familia, no mortal would even give her a chance because she's not much of a popular Goddess like some other deities she knows and almost given up hope on her 50th time until one day she saw Bell trying to get in to any Familia but they all rejected him. Seeing him sad because no one would give him a chance is what she felt and decided to make him his first Familia child, and from that day on the two have grown closer as Hestia started to develop feelings for Bell.
She can already tell from just looking Leina that she is very new to all this and doesn't seem to have much combat experience than anyone even Bell, yet she is willing to jump into the danger and exciting life of an Adventurer like how Bell was back then.
"(I was hoping that it would just be me and Bell for a while longer, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to expand our family. However, I still don't fully trust her and if she dares to hurt my precious Bell then I'll send her to Hell myself!)" Hestia mentally promised as she made her decision. She even wonders if the revealing armor Leina is wearing to seduce her Bell or something else.
"I believe she can be a great addiction to our Familia as we'll make ourselves big to the whole town!" Bell said, vouching for Leina.
"I see, well, if Bell trust you even though you two just met then I suppose you are someone we can relay on." Hestia said.
"Really?" Leina asked.
"Yep, so from this day forth you are now the proud member of the Hestia Familia!" Hestia declared with a proud smile.
"Really? That's great, we finally got a second member to join!" Bell cheered, jumping around of joy.
"Thank you, Goddess Hestia, I promise I won't disappoint you." Leina said as she hugs Hestia with some tears of joy.
"H-hey, who said you can" Hestia complaint was cut off when Bell joins in for a group hug.
"This is a great day for us, Goddess Hestia, can I have a feeling our family will get bigger soon, I know it!" Bell proclaimed.
Hestia couldn't help but giggles at Bell's happy expression, and maybe Bell is right that new people will join us soon though hope that she will be Bell's number one woman, but something tells her that Bell will attract more girls like Leina more than just being friends.
"(How odd that I'm actually looking forward to seeing how our Familia will go from here.)" Hestia thought as she smiles.
(Tomorrow)
"Today is my first day to the Dungeon!" Leina excited as she and Bell walk together.
"Yeah, I hope I'll be able to help you as much as I can." Bell said.
"I'm sure the two of us together will be fine, but I got to ask; have you and Goddess Hestia sleep together like that?" Leina asked, remembering how her first morning with them was.
"Oh, that… well, to be honest Goddess Hestia have been a little clingy to me after I became her first member, but I guess you could say I gotten use to it." Bell explained, with a faint blush on his cheeks.
"Really, then I guess you two must have a love relationship." Leina teased.
"What, no, no, I didn't mean it like that!" Bell protested nervous.
"Relax, I was just teasing you." Leina chuckled.
Then suddenly Bell felt something strange like a pair of eyes are watching him for an instant, he quickly turns around only to see nothing but the stony street.
"Bell, are you okay?" Leina asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Bell answered, wondering what was that feeling.
"Uh, excuse me?" A girl talked to Bell gaining his attention.
This girl has bluish gray hair that she keeps tied with a small knot in a ponytail style. Her eyes are the same color as her hair, and she has a light peachy colored smooth skin. She wears a white blouse and a leaf-colored knee-length long skirt. She also wears a slightly long half apron around her waist. She wears a pair of brown boots over black stockings. Breasts sizes: C-cup.
"I think you drop this." The girl handed Bell a purple crystal.
"I did? I though I cash in all my magic stones yesterday." Bell said, looking at the magic stone.
"You can trade in some of the items you found in the Dungeon for money?" Leina asked curious.
"Yeah, that's how others can make a living for themselves and for their Familia." Bell explained.
"Oh, so you two are Adventurers?" The girl asked.
"Yes, in fact this is my first day to the Dungeon!" Leina answered.
"Really, and you're going this early in the morning?" The girl asked again.
"Yeah, the early bird gets the worm as they say." Bell phrased then his stomach growls.
"I told you we should've eaten breakfast before we left." Leina scolded and Bell chuckles a little.
"Here." The maid girl handed Bell a small box.
"It's not much, but I hope you enjoy it." The maid girl said.
"Are you sure, giving your breakfast to two strangers you just met." Leina worried.
"Don't worry, I work here so I'll probably get something to eat when it opens." The maid girl pointed out.
"Oh, so this is a restaurant?" Leina asked looking at the small building.
"Yep, and if you guys want to pay me back then you come eat here for dinner. How's that?" The maid girl offered.
"I have always wonder what the food of the town taste like, can we invite Goddess Hestia to come as well?" Leina suggested.
"That's a great idea, Leina, it can be a celebration for having a new Familia member!" Bell agreed
"Well, we better get going, see you tonight!" Bell said as he and Leina run off together.
"Bye!" The maid girl waved at them.
(Dungeon, 5th Floor)
"Now stay close to me, the monsters we're about to met are wolfmen and they're quick, so you'll have to react fast and kill them before they can attack you again." Bell advised, speaking from experience.
"Okay." Leina nodded as she holds up her shield for defense.
Then suddenly one of the wolfmen Bell mentioned sprint toward Leina a little faster than she can see, reacting on instinct she raises her shield to block the incoming attack though she got push back making fall on her butt, the wolfman was about to pounces on her again but Bell quickly tackle it and stab his dagger to the chest and drags it through killing the monster as its body vanishes into nothing leaving a small magic stone.
"Are you alright, Leina?" Bell asked.
But before Leina could answer the younger white-haired boy, she spotted a wolfman about to attack Bell from behind that is a few feet close and she move pass Bell toward the furry creature as she thrusts her sword right into the neck then slash it aside cutting off the head. The body disappears leaving a magic stone in its place.
Leina pants a little and felt overwhelm shock that she had just killed her first monster in the Dungeon, and she drops to her knees.
"Leina, you did it, you killed your first monster! Better than my first time!" Bell said, both proud and glad that she's not hurt.
"That was… more overwhelming than I expected, I was so scared that I thought I was gonna die from that wolfman had you not saved me. I knew that the Dungeon would be scary from the stories I heard, but I didn't think I would come close to almost facing death like that." Leina admitted, feeling her body shaking a little and sweats forming.
"It's okay to be scared, everyone gets scared no matter how strong or might they be, and to be honest I'm still scared of this place." Bell confessed shocking Leina.
"Then why do you keeping doing it?" Leina asked.
"Well, because I remained myself of why I want to be an Adventurer and remember the people I care for the most in my heart then I feel brave knowing that I will become a strong Adventurer and to become a great hero too!" Bell stated his belief strongly.
Leina became shock that Bell's strong words remains her of her mother when she was still alive and told her some something like this when she was a little girl, strangely she felt the fear she had faded earlier faded and is replace by a new hope of strength as her body stops shaking.
"Thank you, Bell, you really are a special kind and I can see that now." Leina said as she stands up.
"Oh, I'm not that special, all I did was giving you some words of encouragement." Bell blushed from the compliment.
"Still, thank you for that." Leina smiled.
Just as the two finished talking, a pack of wolfmen started to pop of out of walls between them and surrounds the two with vicious growls and staring at them as they have found their next prey to sink their sharp fangs into their flesh. The number seems to be stacking against them, but they didn't care as they kept up their brave face and ready their weapons for more fighting.
"Alright, let see how far I can go to reach Ais Wallenstein's level." Bell smirked.
"Umm, who's Ais Wallenstein?" Leina asked.
"Oh, she's a very strong girl who saved my life yesterday before I met you. Her strength is said to be amazing as well as being beautiful, I want to become stronger so that I can repay her someday." Bell explained with the determined look in his eyes.
"(Odd, why am I suddenly feeling jealous when Bell talks about her even though I don't know her.)" Leina thought asked herself, she quickly shook the thought out of her head.
"You ready, Leina, they'll probably be more monsters than just these wolfmen." Bell warned.
"Don't worry, I too aim to get stronger and show my family I ran away from back home that I can become a strong warrior!" Leina stated.
"Wait, did you say you ran way from home?" Bell asked.
"Charge!" Leina ran toward the wolfmen ahead.
"H-hey, wait for me, Leina!" Bell said running after her.
The two work together to fight the wolfmen as they each managed to kill some on their own even though Leina was still new to all this she quickly adapts to the fighting, and they work together to kill off rest as they also receive more magic stones and some different items like fangs from of the wolfmen.
"Hey, you getting tired yet?" Bell asked as he pants with a grin and grabs a wolfman's neck then stab his knife through the head killing it.
"You kidding? I can still go on longer than this!" Leina claimed before she slashes at another wolfman.
"I bet you do, but I think we should wrap this up quick, we did promise that girl to eat at that restaurant for dinner." Bell reminded.
"Okay, how about a few more than we're done for today." Leina suggested, pointing her sword at the few reminding wolfmen.
"Sounds good to me!" Bell seconded that as they charge together at the wolfmen with a might battle cry together.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Looks like Leina is already growing custom to being in a Dungeon despite being her first time there, at least she has Bell to help her find her way around the floors he knows, but they will soon go deeper into the Dungeon to see new sightings and battle tougher monsters as they grow stronger together. Let just hope Bell will be able to handle having two beautiful women living in the same small room with him.
