New Names for the Two Rookies of Hestia
The scene shows the outside of the Guild being the same as always with the adventures are there to speak with the employees to talk about what goes on with the Dungeon, some can be surprises like what Eina just heard from Bell and Leina.
"What? You mean to say you actually just became Level 2 in over a month!" Eina shocked about Bell becoming a Level 2.
"That's right, we were surprised when Goddess Hestia informed us about it this after we came back home." Bell nodded, remembering how the talk was like.
"This just shows that Bell is a remarkable man to become something great and amazing than anyone has ever been!" Leina smiled.
"My, my, I thought the surprises would never happen to me when I heard the news about Bell having two lovers and one of them is your Goddess?" Eina chuckled smiling but feel a bit jealous.
"Well, it's nice to hear you're doing so well after that fight with the Minotaur." Eina smiled happily for Bell that makes him blush.
Leina notice that reaction causing her to giggle finding this to be adorable like she is looking at a cute white rabbit right now and wonder if Bell is planning on having Eina in his love life as well.
"What? Come on, there's got to me one party with a room left?" A man complained to a woman which got Leina's attention to look at him for a moment before looking back at Eina.
(Later, Hestia Church)
Bell is looking at his stats to still be surprised that not only did he defeated a Minotaur with his own strength alone, but also leveled up to Level 2 while also holding the red horn that was the item prize from his battle.
"Man, me… Level 2 is more amazing than I could hope for, and I did it in a short amount of time." Bell amazed at himself.
"Try not to have too much of a big head from this, otherwise you could bring yourself down." Risty teased.
"Still, you are probably the first Adventurer to have ever leveled up so fast in a mouth and a half." Lili stated, now seeing Bell is the best man of the best.
"You're definitely making history in your life." Risty smiled.
"It feels like the Heavens are smiling upon your good deeds! Don't you think so, Goddess Hestia?" Melpha asked while the Goddess herself is checking on Leina's stats.
"Well, I am from Heaven, and I am smiling, so it is indeed a happy day for all of us." Hestia smiled as she starts using her magic on Leina's stats.
"Just try not to push yourself too much, Bell. It's a miracle that you were able to be alive from that fight three days ago and we had to keep ourselves from telling you about the level up until you were fully able to recover." Leina reminded.
"We thought it would be a nice surprise for you." Hestia added.
"And I was very surprised! Not to mention I finally got a new skill, Argonaut. I can't wait to figure out how it works!" Bell excited.
"Maybe we can do some combat training, they say to test out one's might is within the battlefield or at least that's what some men I heard said." Risty said.
"I think Sir Bell should hold off on fighting for a little while longer." Melpha concerned for Bell.
"Bet it might be a skill that can only be activated during a fight, and it grants you strength or speed or enhances your stats." Lili theorized.
"Those do sound good." Bell wanted to see what his skill Argonaut can do.
"Goddess, what do you think"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Hestia screamed in pure shock that she fell off the bed and landed on her head.
"Goddess!" Everyone gasped as they hurry to their loli Goddess.
"What happened, why did you suddenly screamed and fell over?" Lili asked.
"It's… It's Leina…" Hestia struggled to speak right due to her shocked state.
"What's going on? Did something happen to my stats?" Leina asked worry and fear for herself.
"Goddess, have some water." Melpha held Hestia up, placing her head on her big breasts, and handed her a cup of water.
Hestia took the water while thanking the nun woman, she drinks it finishing halfway until she finally got her senses back and look towards her children.
"Okay, the reason for my shock is because I just found out Leina… just became a Level 2, like Bell!" Hestia informed with a cute, but serious expression on her face.
The group looked very shock of what their Goddess just said, silence took over which only lasted for five seconds until the silence was broken.
"WHAT?!" Everyone screamed just as or almost like Hestia when she reacted to Leina.
Hestia quickly wasted no time on doing her stats and show this to Leina and everyone as they can see this for themselves with their own eyes.
"It's true, I am a Level 2!" Leina surprised.
"B-But how can that be?" Lili asked shaken from this sudden news.
"Don't look at me, I don't know much about these leveling ups except for what I do know." Risty shrugged.
"It is almost like Leina is destined to be strong." Melpha amazed with her eyes sparkling of joy.
"That's a bit much." Leina sweatdropped.
"But still, how in the world could this have happened? I don't remember doing anything for the past three days except for watching over Bell." Leina confused.
"Well, the only thing I can think of has something to do with your skill, Maiden Heart." Hestia said as she stands back up.
"My skill made me a level two?" Leina surprised.
"Remember what I said about making you stronger and raising up more almost like Bell, but I never expect the skill to increase your strength so much." Hestia explained.
"(But I didn't do anything in the past three days because Bell was still resting from his fight with the Minotaur, perhaps the fight against the Minotaur inspired me to climb higher for greater strength to be by Bell's side that did it.)" Leina thought guessed another thing about her skill.
"Well, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about at the moment." Hestia dressed into her formal dress with the white dress being a little fancier than the last one she had.
"Thanks again for buying me this dress, Leina. Now I will look presentable Denateus Day meeting." Hestia thanked.
"It was my pleasure, Goddess. Be sure to give it your all to the other goddess." Leina smiled with a thumb up to cheer Hestia on.
"Thanks, I'll see you all later today." Hestia waved goodbye and walked out of the church.
"Hold on, I just realize that I have no idea what is Denateus Day." Leina said.
"Then try thinking more before speaking." Risty scolded a little.
"I think it's an important for adventurers who leveled up, right?" Melpha hoped she got that info right.
"That's right, it's super important. We get to pick names for the ones who leveled up, that includes you, Bell." Hestia explained and looked towards Bell.
"That's so cool!" Bell excited.
"Yep, but now I'm gonna have to tell the other Gods about Leina since she leveled up too. Hopefully that'll be okay." Hestia said before walking off.
"So, what shall we do?" Leina wondered.
"I say we train to test out that new skill." Risty suggested, grabbing Bell by the back of his shirt and dragging him outside.
"Uh, okay." Bell said nervously.
(Temple of the Gods)
Hestia is walking through the halls to meet with the other gods for Denateus Day, despite feeling nervous about this since it's gonna be about her first child in her Familia, but she is determined to get Bell a good name and maybe for Leina too.
"Hello there, Hestia." A man greeted with a hand on her shoulder.
Hestia turns around to see a familiar face wearing a eastern style black outfit that she remember it's called a kimono.
"Oh, hey Take." Hestia greeted.
Takemikazuchi has black hair and black eyes. His hair is in a style that was common in old Japan. Takemikazuchi wears clothes that are also based off the same time period.
"A little birdy told me that your little adventurer with the white hair has reached Level 2 in a mere month, is that true?" Takemikazuchi asked.
"Yeah, like you said." Hestia answered smiling.
"Impressive! It took the Sword Princess a year to reach Level 2." Takemikazuchi impressed.
"All the Gods are very excited. Everyone is talking about it." Takemikazuhi mentioned as they walk together.
"The Takemikazucki Familia will be having one too, right?" Hestia asked seeing him here.
"Yeah, her name's Mikoto Yamato. I'll have to use all the leverage I can at the council today, her name can be nothing but spectacular." Takemikazunki hoped.
"Same here, and there is something I should tell you right now before we go in." Hestia said.
"What is it?" Takemikazuki asked.
"Well, you know that I got my second child, Leina Vance." Hestia mentioned.
"Oh yes, she is strong a strong warrior herself and seem to have doing well with Bell too." Takemikazuki nodded.
"Well, the thing is… She is also a Level 2." Hestia revealed.
"WHAT?! She's a Level 2, how and when?!" Takemikazuki gasped.
"I'm not sure about the when, but I do know the how and has something to do with her skills that turns her strong feelings for others into power." Hestia explained the best she could.
"For real? I didn't know there was a skill like that." Takemikazuki surprised to hear about this.
"You'd be surprised of how things can catch you off guard." Hestia stated.
"So, what are you gonna do? Ask the council to also give Leina a new name too?" Takemikazuki asked concern for his fellow deity.
"That's what I'm hoping for. All we can do now is see how this day will go." Hestia sighed.
"You got a point there. Let's go." Takemikazuki nodded and the two walks in together thinking about the sake of their children.
(Afternoon)
Risty came walking back in with the exhausting Bell behind her as both sat on the couch, but Bell couldn't keep himself up anymore and his head fell right onto Risty's lap.
"Hey, hey, who says you can rest down there?" Risty asked shock and blushing.
"Sorry, but it's kind of your fault for making me go through all that workout just to see what my skill can do." Bell exclaimed.
"When he puts it like that, Risty will have to take responsibility for it." Lili giggled.
"Why you little traitor!" Risty glared at the little girl.
"I think it's okay, we all know Bell wouldn't do anything harmful to any of us and we always trust him to watch our backs." Leina said.
"Of course, he's our adorable white rabbit." Melpha giggled.
"I don't think I would like to go known as something like rabbit for my nickname." Bell said.
"So, what kind of name do you want to do by?" Risty asked.
"Well, I was thinking about Fire Blizzard, or White Tornado, or… Burning Blaze of Death!" Bell spoken the nicknames he hoped that he will be called one of them.
All three girls gave him deadpan looks on their faces though Melpha does have a gentle smile and being silence for a moment, they all think those names are too much or just lame.
"What? Is there something wrong with the names?" Bell asked.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think any of those names would really work out for you." Leina crossed her arms with a sigh.
"I'm gonna have to agree with Mistress Leina, those names sound from they were made by someone goofy being over cocky." Lili nodded.
"Forgive me for saying some mean things, but the names were just a little bad and not good to have for someone like you." Melpha confessed.
Hearing those harsh words from the girls felt like arrows have just pierced his heart that the nicknames were not very good and think they don't suit him at all, he whimpers that the names he thought of are just stupid to the girls and thought they were very cool to him.
"Sorry, but that just how we think those names are and the council might give you a simple name." Risty stated while stroking his white hair.
"Oh yeah, and what's that?" Bell asked.
"Well, I think the first name you'll get is Little Rookie." Risty guessed.
"Little Rookie, what kind of name is that?" Bell asked.
"Well, you are like a little kid who is a Rookie who became so strong in such a short amount of time." Risty pointed out the things about Bell.
"I'm not sure if I like it." Bell said.
"Hello everyone, I'm home…" Hestia exclaimed.
"On the upside, I'm sure the name will also go along with your armor." Leina said as she takes the chest plate and saw the name on it.
"This armored was made by Welf Crozzo. I wonder if this is a Blacksmith that Cattleya knows?" Leina said curious.
"Goddess Hestia, you're home!" Melpha smiled as the others see her.
"I take it the meeting went well?" Risty asked.
"Yeah, you could say that…" Hestia said still panting a little.
"Well, what name did Bell get?" Leina asked.
"Yeah, and he's gonna be so happy that they have consider a name for him." Hestia nodded.
"What is it? Please tell me!" Bell excited to hear his new name.
"Well, it's not terrible." Hestia assured with a thumb up.
This made Bell feel a little worry of about to hear his new name.
"I also managed to get a new name for Leina too after explaining that she also got to Level 2." Hestia mentioned.
"You mean I also get a name?" Leina asked shock.
"Yep, and I can promise you it is not terrible either." Hestia smiled again.
"Well, don't leave us hanging. What are the names?" Risty asked.
Hestia took in a few seconds to catch her breath because she hurried over here as fast as she could after the meeting with the Gods was done.
(Hostess of Fertility)
"Little Rookie…" Bell groaned with his face on the table.
The Hestia party decided to go out for a dinner at Hostess of Fertility suggested by Melpha to celebrate Bell's new name, and he is not the only one to get a new name as well.
"Me, the Wandering Warrior…" Leina shocked of repeating her new nickname.
"Didn't think I'd actually be right about the Little Rookie name for Bell, talk about crazy." Risty commented.
"I have to say, Leina's name sounds better than yours, Bell." Lili said honestly.
"But you should feel honor to have been given a name at all from the Gods themselves, and Goddess Hestia did say they were better than nothing." Melpha pointed out.
"I guess you're right, but Little Rookie sounds so lame." Bell exclaimed.
"I think Little Rookie is amazing." Syr complimented.
The party turns to see both Syr and Ryuu standing in front of their tables holding plates of food and glasses of drinks for them.
"We heard you two leveling up, congrats." Ryuu said.
"Go ahead, eat up and drink up! Tonight is your night!" Syr cheered.
Then Bell and the girls overheard some people in the restaurant are talking about those two adventurers suddenly leveling up as Level 2, some are a little skeptical to believe that at first while others are amazes of when being Level 2 so fast.
"Are those people talking about us?" Bell asked.
"It sounds like it." Leina surprised.
"Yeah, that sort of stuff happens when Adventurers get famous." Lili explained.
"You two should try to take this as a compliment." Syr advised as she sits down next to Bell.
"Come on, let's all drink!" Syr smiled.
"Oh yeah, I can get down for some drinking!" Risty smiled.
"But wait, aren't you two supposed to be working?" Lili asked as she sees Ryuu next to her.
"Mamma Mia said you guys can order as many as you like, and we should shit down with you. I think she wants you to spend a lot of money." Ryuu suspected.
Bell turns to see Mamma Mia who is cleaning a plate and sees Bell, she gave him a quickly wink before going back to the dishes.
"Well, all right then." Bell chuckled.
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their cups and clap them together.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
