Summary: Bell Cranel, a First Class adventurer and the last surviving member of the destroyed Cranel Forest, burned by Rakia in their large spread purge, had no idea how he landed himself in this position. Chained to a wall with status sealing chains, watching some of the most powerful people to have ever lived looking at him like that... he had no idea what was about to go down.

=Orario=

To say that everything had gone to hell in a handbasket was an understatement. Within a single day of Bell Cranel, the captain of the Ganesha Familia headed out of Orario on a task personally issued by Ganesha-sama himself to investigate potential sightings of the Black Dragon and to draw conclusions on the validity of the claims and if it was heading towards Orario, the city itself had been attacked by Evilus, bolstered by two former members of the Zeus and Hera Familia's.

Alfia, The Silence. Arguably the most absurdly powerful mage to have ever lived, and if not for her illness, would have been in Bell's league.

Zald, The Gluttony. The man closest in sheer physical capability to that of Albert Waldstein. If the Behemoth's, though poisoned from eating a piece of the Behemoth's flesh.

These two alone had completely razed the city as if child's play. Bell had wanted to curse his incompetence as bad memories flared up at the mention of his home burning.

Was it really that much to ask for a high elf to have a good and peaceful life? Why does everyone have to fight so much? To kill one another?

He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He just hoped Riveria was fine. After all, she was his oldest friend and someone he grew up alongside before moving to the Cranel Forest.

"I'm sorry sir, but Orario is currently under siege by Evilus. I have to head back as it takes precedence over a supposed sighting that has no valid evidence and still has none, even after an entire day's worth of searching and questioning." Bell's ears twitched a bit, some frustration seeping into his voice, as the supposed 'witness' mimed like a fish, mouth opening and closing as he sighed.

"So, I will waste my time no longer, and return to the city that is currently in crisis. It needs as many able-bodied adventurers and I will be one of the ones that help defend it." With that, Bell shot away in a gust of wind, imperceivable by an unblessed naked eye.

As Bell ran away from the village, back towards the city he called home, he desperately wished that he'd make it in time.


=Orario=

Riveria lay on the ground, breathing in ragged breaths as bruises littered her body, one eye open as the clicking of heels was heard, slowly approaching.

"Is that all? I thought you elves were supposed to be all about your intelligence." The woman calmly said in her somehow soft yet harsh voice, the insult being clearly relayed through both tone and words.

"H-how dare you!? Is that how you're supposed to speak to your elders?" Riveria refuted, weak, though pulling on enough strength to push herself onto one knee.

"That only makes you seem more pathetic, hag. You've lived long for no reason at all."

Riveria couldn't help but gasp as she stared, flabbergasted at the words as she had nothing to respond to them with.

This woman had without a doubt, one of the sharpest and most violent bites in all of Gekai. The monster of the Hera Familia who now stood before her, standing casually as if battling them had been a mere nuisance.

"Stop it, Riveria. She's trying to provoke you!" Gareth told his ally curtly as he leaned back onto the building, blood flowing from his various wounds.

"Ghk…" Riveria stifled a response to his words, seeing the validity in his words as she glared at Alfia.

"Then… why… Why attack the city you protected for so long? WHY!?" Hissed, the last one loud enough to echo as the group hid on the rooftops, staring in horror at the ease their strongest had been dismantled.

Ryuu stood stock still, looking on as her entire world was shattering before her eyes. The city is burning, people dying on the streets with their current strongest being on the ground, bleeding in two different parts of the city.

The rest of the Astraea familia were in a similar predicament, not knowing what to do against someone as powerful and skilled as Alfia.

"Why, you ask…?" Alfia muttered as she sighed "You truly do not have the intelligence your kind likes to brag about at all." Her voice cut through the air as her eyes finally opened from the near-perpetual closed state, revealing the heterochromatic nature.

"Because you're weak, pathetic in every way. You were vulnerable. Even more so than expected. I initially at least, anticipated a bit more resistance, but this is honestly pathetic to a degree I had never contemplated at all." She stopped for a second before glancing up at the building.

"Not a worthless mage and vanguard with a group that preaches for justice, only to hide on the rooftops to watch." The words made the Astraea Familia flinch back in surprise, not having expected her to know of their presence.

"What? Did you honestly not think I'd notice you? How arrogant." At that, Alise couldn't stand still and listen to it anymore and leaped down onto the ground, pulling her sword out.

"How dare you!? You stand against justice, fight against it! Have you no shame!?" She screamed out, making Alfia grunt in annoyance as her hand raised before wafting to the side.

"Gospel." The word followed a powerful series of explosions of sound, violently ripping apart any and all of the Astraea Familia captain's defenses as she was sent spiraling through a wall.

"ALISE!" The rest jumped out to help their captain as Alfia just sighed yet again in annoyance.

"So much noise… Why must everyone be so noisy?" She muttered to herself as the prum moved her hand to her back, pulling out a ball, and throwing it at Alfia who simply swatted it away.

"Wha-!?"

"Magic controlled impact detonation? It was a somewhat valid attempt for someone that has no idea of what I can do, but pitiful nonetheless."

"Why… Do you call all of us pathetic!?" Neze hissed, growling slightly at the woman in front of her.

"Because you are. Unfortunately, the only one left in Orario who's not pathetic in some way is not here to assist. I wonder why…" The entire group blinked as even Riveria's mouth dropped as Alfia, the coldest, most uncaring woman they'd ever met, turned to the side, her eyes lidded as she seemed almost… distracted.

"Wha- who?" Riveria asked a little too fast as she stood up straight, only for Alfia to violently send another wave of magic, forcing her onto the ground again.

"Bell Cranel. I was expecting his resistance, in fact, he's the only one at the moment that holds even a chance at defeating us." At the mention of the high elf, Riveria's eyes widened.

Bell Cranel, captain of the Ganesha Familia and head of the entire police force in Orario. Also the only level 7 in Orario after Zeus and Hera's banishment, and comparable to both Alfia and Zald.

The mere thought of the three duking it out was… well… not something they'd ever want to see.

Ryuu too paled at the image, a little worry filling her at the thought of him ever fighting the two at once.

Bell had always been nice to her and very pleasant to talk to. Ever since she'd joined the Astraea Familia, he'd helped her at every step of the way, with him being close friends with Astraea herself.

A little too close sometimes if she says so herself.

"Hmm…?" Alfia once again turned her head to the side, this time towards the walls of Orario before her back stood straighter.

"So… he's arrived." She muttered as Riveria and Gareth too turned in the same direction, relief spread on their faces.

"Bell…" Riveria muttered as closely outside Orario, a blur of speed shot across the paths leading to and from Orario, easily breaking the sound barrier as if it was nothing.

Simply seeing his home burning, smoke, and fire everywhere was clutching at his heart as he didn't know why Alfia or Zald would do this. Zald, the man who'd helped train him when he first started out after his forest was razed.

Alfia, the one who taught everything she knew about magic to him, clearly invested in his rapid growth in power and skill alongside knowledge.

The woman was normally so antagonizing towards others, but friendly and caring towards him. Always taking the time to listen to his problems and offer solutions, even if they sometimes can be a bit direct with no tact.

Reaching the city gate, blocked with rubble, Bell leaped over the wall protecting the city, flipping over it before landing with a loud thud.

Glancing around, he senses nothing at all, no one in the vicinity. Taking the opportunity, he instantly focused on his senses, instantly picking up the two most powerful ones within the city.

'Two separate parts… splitting their enemies in two to cause maximum destruction with their overwhelming strength… smart.' Bell thought to himself before deciding on heading to the northern one.

Leaping across the rooftops, he spotted Evilus here and there, who he swiftly took out before continuing onwards.

"Gospel." As he closed in, his hearing picked up on the words as he came to a halt, leaping to the side as the entire row of buildings he'd headed down towards had exploded in a violent array of explosions.

'Sound… Alfia.'

Cursing himself for not picking the other one first, he tried to figure out how to deal with this. Out of Zald and Alfia, He'd rather face Zald first. Both of them were swordsmen, mainly using their physical capabilities over anything else while Alfia was a bit more complex.

His swift strike magic was useless against her due to her dress' anti-magic properties combined with her constantly being covered in an anti-magic shroud from her own magic.

That combined with her magic that could be fired off rapidly with no delay made her an honest to gods pain to deal with, even if he was confused as to why she was doing this.

Dashing forward, he spotted the woman alongside the Astraea Familia's strongest members and Riveria beside Gareth, all on the ground.

"ALFIA!" He screamed out as the woman in question looked at him softly.

"Gospel." In an instant, he leaped backward as his path was blocked by her magic-

"Gospel."

*BOOM*

In an instant, his back seared in pain as she'd sent magic in the same direction he'd dashed towards. A move she'd used on him multiple times during their training sessions and one he had never effectively countered.

He really hated it.

"That… was not nice." He muttered, knowing full well her enhanced hearing could pick up on his words.

"I'm sorry. It was not meant to be." She said the expression on her face surprised him as he blinked, seeing that familial warmth in her gaze as she looked at him through lidded eyes.

"Right, your tongue is as sharp as ever. Is your stamina still to par?" He shot back as the smile on Alfia's face widened a bit more.

"Who knows, the real question is, have you grown since we last saw one another?" The question made him chuckle as his posture calmed.

"Last time you saw me, I was a level 5. I'm level 7 now. What do you think?" He asked as Alfia hummed.

"Impressive. I was correct in that you are the only one with potential in this weak city." She said as her smile turned bitter.

"Wha- Alfia. What is going on? Why are you doing this? I know you can be bitter and violent most of the time, but this!?" He stood straighter, stretching his arms to the sides to insinuate the destruction that surrounded them "Is too far. The Alfia I know would never do this…" He said with a silent plea in his voice which he knew only she'd understand.

"Maybe I changed… Maybe that dragon broke something in me… in us. Maybe our Banishment pushed us too far… who knows?" She asked as he frowned.

"I was against that! A lot of people were! If I could have at the time, I'd have helped you, but I was too weak back then to fight both Freya and Loki!" Alfia's smile vanished as she looked over at Bell, analyzing his facial features, piece by piece.

"Always so noble, aren't you? I wonder sometimes why you are not part of the Astraea Familia. You uphold the concept of justice far better than that of the so-called daughters of it." She chuckled bitterly, glancing at said 'daughters' who looked hurt at the statement.

"They do a wonderful job at it because they uphold their vision of it. Alfia, you who can go on and on about the meaning behind concepts should know that."

"True, but in my point of view, justice isn't black and white, never has been." Was all she said, which she knew was not enough for the Astraea Familia, but Bell would without a doubt understand.

"I… yes, you are right about that, they may be hopeful and naive when it comes to justice… well, apart from Kaguya, but the point remains." He began his answer as the girls frowned while Kaguya simply listened.

"They still uphold their version of justice brilliantly. With time, they will learn, and evolve. They will grow wiser about what justice means to them and the world."

"And I am helping with that, showing them a more harsh reality that contradicts their own."

Bell sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He knew this could go on for hours with no end in sight.

"Just tell me. Why are you really doing this? I know it wasn't because the dragon broke you. I talked to you after it happened. I know it wasn't because of the banishment, because you would never let something like that affect you that deeply… So why?" Alfia opened her mouth to answer, but for once, felt the lack of words to use. There was nothing to rebuke. After all, Bell knew her all too well underneath her tough exterior.

He knew the woman underneath, the one who cared and loved her sister like no other. The one that sits and listens to her sister suffer, cursing herself for her selfishness and her talent.

The one that cried her eyes out until she fell asleep that way in his arms as she heard the news of her sister's passing alongside her unborn nephew.

He knew her too well for her to lie, so she bit her tongue before clicking it, both regretting ever letting him, the only person she'd ever allowed to do so apart from her sister. To get close to her and melt at his care and attention for her.

"Because this city needs a challenge. The way it is at the moment, it will fall. You are the only one with even a slight chance to eventually defeat that dragon but the rest of this city is… utterly pathetic to a degree that sickens me. I can't let the world my sister loves so much, a world in which her child will grow up within, to be so utterly doomed by the incompetence, ignorance, and stupidity of the mortals and gods alike that inhabit it." she let out as the entire group around Alfia stared at her in rapt attention, astonished at her reasoning.

"But how does this solve anything? People are dying, people that could eventually hold potential with time and effort. Aren't you making it worse!?" He asked, raising his voice as he kept talking.

"Temporarily, Yes. But it will teach a valuable lesson to everyone in this city apart from you. A lesson they desperately need. The lesson on how to truly rise up to a challenge, and overcome it." At that, Bell's breath hitched as one failed attempt after another from both Freya and Loki to usurp power or grow stronger flashed through his mind. How their leveling speeds had drastically slowed down to a practical standstill. In the last eight years, he was the only one of the top adventurers in Orario who had leveled up even once.

And he'd done it twice and was close to another one.

"You may be right about that… but is this really worth it? To see this city burn to the ground? Why can't we do this civilly? Why can't we just work together instead of fighting all the time!? Are we doomed to infighting until something like the black dragon wipes us out or we destroy ourselves!?" He asked, louder than before as his passion burned through.

"Perhaps. But unfortunately, this lesson can't be taught with words." At that, she raised her arms as Bell squeezed his eyes shut, wishing for her forgiveness for this.

"An-Dur!" The moment the words exited his mouth, words he hadn't used since he had gotten the spell at level 7, a wave washed forward as Alfia sent her magic forward.

The moment the magic impacted the wave… nothing. Simply nothing but the wave continuing unimpeded as Alfia's eyes widened before it washed over her as she felt all her magic leave her, her Silentium Eden coming undone as her 'armor' disappeared, all the noise, free to 'escape' her.

"W-wha- What did you do!?" She asked, flabbergasted as Bell rushed forward. Alfia was in shock as her magic wouldn't work for the life of her.

Just as he reached her, he knew that this would be the hardest part. Where Alfia excelled at magic, one would think there wasn't much else she was good at, and with her terminal disease that was slowly killing her, making her body weaker by the years, she'd be helpless up close… was nothing but false.

He sent a hard jab forward only for her face to tilt to the side, eyes sharpening as she perceived a threat before swatting his arm upwards, sending him slightly off balance as her feet danced to the side to avoid a kick.

Alfia, despite her weakness caused by her disease, was one of the most capable fighters in any field due to her ability to perfectly mimic any fighting style she sees even once.

It allowed her to do something no one else can. Combine the best styles into one, to form one, which is virtually unbeatable.

Thankfully, there was one advantage he did have.

As she moved, kicking up some dust to buy her time to create a bit of distance between the two, he dashed to the side, sliding across the ground as he swiped the ground, with one leg.

Noticing this, Alfia jumped slightly, avoiding it only for his other leg to come out of the slight dust cloud she'd formed as she was in the air, unbalanced and uncontrollable.

It inevitably impacted her right in her stomach, sending her flying into the wall far behind her as Bell stopped and glanced and stared in her direction.

Slowly rising up, dusting off her dress, she looked over at Bell, a trickle of blood leaking down her lips as she looked at him, with a frown.

"Sorry, Alfia… but I can't let you do this." He said sorrowfully as Alfia contemplated him for a second.

"You've learned some new tricks…" She muttered, Bell nodding as she huffed.

"Alfia, please… just, let's talk this out. For old times sake…"

"... Fine." Everyone blinked in surprise before Bell smiled brightly and nodded enthusiastically.

"Thank you-"

"I can't accept that!" All eyes turned back, meeting that of emerald green. Bell was stumped as confusion set in. Why did Riveria just lash out?

"Are you really going to trust her!? After everything she did!?" The normally composed high elf princess who he'd practically grown up with was looking at him with something akin to… desperation?

What?

That can't be right, can it?

"And why is that? I fully mean it when I say I'll talk with no hostilities." Alfia asked, frowning as the two's eyes met, glaring at one another.

Okay, what was going on?

"Oh please, after the stunts you pulled, you have no leeway for trust."

"More than you. How many times have you and Bell spent with one another or trained together?" Riveria frowned at the question, the two first-class adventurers either missing or ignoring the weird glances that were thrown their way.

"Maybe because I actually took my own familia seriously! Bell knows that! Right, Bell?" Both green eyes and heterochromatic ones turned towards Bell, waiting for his answer.

Okay, really, what in actual hell… is going on!?

Alright, he's got to come up with some kind of response that'll keep both parties happy… something so utterly ingenious that not even the gods could come up with it.

'Come on, Bell! You've got this! Remember your training on composure!'

"Wha-?"

Perfection.

Turning towards the others, Bell gave them a pleading look as Alise and the rest glanced away, whistling as if that made them inconspicuous. Traitors!

A step forward got Bell's attention as he noticed long blonde hair with sharp blue eyes stepping in front of the rest of their familia.

Bell couldn't help but internally cherish Ryuu at that moment. Chanting 'My savior' in his head over and over as her ice-cold gaze bore into both Alfia and Riveria.

"Leave Cranel-san out of this!" Yes! That's right, leave him out of it! He wants no part in whatever this… cat-fight or whatever it is.

"This is of no matter to you, Gale Wind," Alfia said coldly, the air practically chilling as her eyes seemed to gleam.

Oh, so his spell's effect ran out. Great…

Ryuu did not back down as she glared at the woman who stood in a realm of her own. Bell waited and hoped for this all to calm down. He just wished it would happen soon-

"It is, as you two are clearly trying to stake a claim to him." Bell blinked… was this… okay he's got nothing. What does she mean by that? Claim him? How?

"Oh? Are you setting your foot down into this squabble too?" Alfia waved her hand as Riveria wanted to say something, but opted not to.

She did not want another 'rival'. Alfia was bad enough, adding Ryuu Lion to that list, who had had quite a few dealings with Bell was… not ideal.

"Yes! What is it to you?" Ryuu challenged as Bell blinked, his view on the situation flipping as he stopped cheering Ryuu on, but instead internally screamed the same question to her.

'What! No! Ryuu, stop them! Don't join them! You're only encouraging this madness?!'

"Lion, stay out of it." Riveria glared as Ryuu, contrary to what the high elven princess thought she'd do, glared right back without uttering a word as the rest of the Astraea Familia was holding Ryuu back, screaming at her to stop.

"All this noise…" was all Alfia said, scoffing at the two

"You know what… I'm not going to encourage this in any way, but if we're actually going to talk, let's at least take it somewhere more… hospitable." Bell suggested as all eyes turned towards him, a few thumbs up from the rest of the Astraea Familia executives who either grinned or nodded at him.

"That… would be preferable." Riveria agreed as Alfia nodded, thankful to Bell for his pacification of the situation.

Alise's eyes sparkled for a split second as Bell got a feeling of him being in danger. He got a weird urge to laugh awkwardly but refrained. That would be unbecoming of him.

He knew whenever that glint with that smile appeared, there would be trouble, and hell to be paid. After all, despite her loud, brash, and outwardly overconfident behavior, she was a conniving little vixen at times.

"Ya know, Stardust Garden is quite close by. Why don't we head there?" She supplied as Bell frowned for a second. That was… not what he expected.

Eyes narrowing, he suspected that there was more to come as she was without question, plotting something… and it included him without a doubt.

"Your familia's home… Hmm… normally I'd insist on the Twilight Manor, but seeing as it's on the other side of the city, I'll have to agree with the location." Riveria nodded to her own words, Alfia scoffing slightly. Oh, she'd love to see how Loki would take her of all people barging into her familias home.

Most likely a barrage of cannon fodder which they seem to call adventurers these days.

"Yes! Come on! Let's go! Astraea will absolutely love this and me for coming up with such an awesome idea" Alise cheered Bell deadpanned at her.

"Oi, Lion. Get those elven legs movin'. Don't wanna miss your hot date!" Bell wanted to ask, but he refrained from doing so. She had a date? He had no idea she was seeing anyone.

Well good for her then, she deserved to be happy. He just hoped whoever it was would respect and treasure her in the way she deserves.

The blonde elf on the other hand blushed scarlet as she called out to her pallum friend. Lyra simply laughed it off, bobbing up and down with that trademark smirk on her face as she threw back a bit more bark and teasing.

Alfia stayed a little ways behind, preferring a bit of distance between herself and the noise while Riveria listened silently to the teasing and bickering of the familia of justice.

This… reminds her of herself, Finn, and Gareth, always butting heads in a way, though more… familial? Was that the word?

It was kind of hard to place, but it was there. That sense of deja vu.

Turning the corner, they made their way onto the demolished street as the ground shook with a loud boom in the distance.

"What was that!?" Kaguya exclaimed, the group looking around while Bell and Alfia just stared in the direction of the blast.

"Zald's teaching those Freya brats a lesson," Alfia answered as Bell frowned.

"Make your way towards Stardust Garden. I'll be right with you." Bell said before shooting off to the rooftops before any one of them could respond.

"... and there he goes. Always so impulsive to help as much as possible." Riveria muttered.

"For once, we agree, hag." Alfia said clearly as the high elf jumped, the silver-haired woman right beside her without her even realizing it.

"How'd you get there!?" She screeched, catching the attention of the Astraea Familia.

"By walking? How else? or is that brain of yours as hollow as it seems?" Lyra guffawed at Alfia's words as everyone else in the Astraea familia just dropped their jaws. Riveria stared at the woman before shaking her head. There was no point in clashing words with her. She was able to turn anything that came out of her mouth into a weapon for herself.

"Alfia… do you just, not care what others think or feel?" Alise asked, correcting her jaw's position before her expression turned serious.

"No, why would I?" Whatever she expected, such a nonchalant tone to what was uttered was not it at all.

"Because it might hurt them! What you do and say can really damage a person." Alise reasoned, causing Alfia to sigh out in exasperation before opening her mouth, the entire group listening.

"When you grow up with an incurable disease that will kill me young, watching as my sister deteriorates before my eyes as I myself stay somewhat the same due to my status and talent… it makes it so you have to use your time wisely. After all, any year, I could go… so I don't spend my time devoting myself to inconsequential actions and instead worry about everything that matters to me… the only thing that used to matter to me. My sister."

Silence.

Only silence ensued as there was not really much one could say to that. They couldn't say anything against it as they didn't know what it was like in her position, having to grow up knowing both you and the most treasured person in the world to yourself most likely wouldn't live to see their late twenties.

Without saying a word, Alfia walked past them, a hint of a smile on her face as she relished in the silence.

"W-where are you going!?" Ryuu asked, stuttering slightly as Alfia glanced at her.

"To the Stardust Garden. Bell asked us to head there, and I intend to keep my word. The question is, are you?" Alfia didn't wait for a response, walking away calmly as the rest scrambled to follow her.


=Southern Orario=

The sight Bell had expected to see when he arrived at the source of the explosions and miniature earthquakes, was not the sight of Ottar and what was practically the entire Freya Familia's Hierarchy on the ground, bleeding and struggling to even move.

Above them stood a goliath of a man wearing pitch-black armor, his face mostly covered, even his eyes. The giant sword strapped onto his back adding to the man's fearsome visage.

Zald, an executive of the Zeus familia and one of the two true monsters of the two familias, the second obviously being everyone's favorite silence-loving mage.

It took only a moment for Zald's gaze to shift towards Bell, sensing him almost instantly as he arrived.

"So… have you come to stop me? You'll without a doubt put up more of a fight than these Freya brats." Bell sighed as he put his two arms up in the form of a peace sign.

"Zald, please. I don't wish to fight if I don't have to." He pleaded as the man seemed to contemplate his words.

"Is that so? Was not what I expected. I'll humor you in that case. What is there to talk about?"

"How about why you're doing this?" Bell's question earned a chuckle from Gluttony as he shook his head.

"We both know Alfia already told you. I didn't miss your arrival and choice to head towards her first. I'd have preferred it to be otherwise. Ottar went down in a single swing." That was not a surprise to Bell. Ottar had tried many times to defeat Zald, resorting to challenging him in the middle of the streets at times.

Without fail, he'd always been sent flying in a single counterattack, no matter what. It was practically a weekly ritual.

"I don't doubt… but Alfia has agreed to talk. Please… do as she did. Put down the weapon and talk. There is no need for all this bloodshed." Bell reasoned, Zald humming in response as he closed his eyes.

"Did she now? I am honestly not surprised. She always did have a weak spot for you." He answered back confidently as Bell frowned.

"Wha-"

"Never mind that, but I cannot do the same. I have surrendered myself to this fate… and the only way I will stop. Is if someone can step up to the challenge, and bring me down."

Bell's heart dropped into his stomach as he knew what had to be done. Something that would most likely haunt him for the rest of his life.

Closing his ruby eyes, he took a deep breath as his elven ears drooped while he came to terms with his emotions.

When he opened them again, a fire was lit him then as he knew and accepted that this was what Zald wanted.

"If that's the case… then I will have to do just that."


=Stardust Garden=

The moment Alfia stepped through the gates towards the fancy home, the few members that were there, mostly those resting from wounds, were instantly alert outside the home, blades on the ready.

Their anger morphed into confusion which devolved into complete bewilderment as their captain and executives walked up right behind her as if they weren't in close proximity to one of the two greatest enemies and traitors they had in the world.

"Stand down, Alfia has agreed to a parley and only wishes to talk," Ryuu called out, a slight bitterness to her voice at having to stand up for the woman while Alise smirked at her.

"Ryuu's right you know. The rabbit is also coming later!" Said Readhead elaborated unhelpfully.

One of the members, Noin, seemed to be on the verge of saying something before an explosion that seemed to cover a large portion of the city appeared in the distance and shook the entire area like an earthquake.

Alfia turned in the direction alongside Riveria and both instantly figured out what that was.

"Zald-"

"-and Bell. I figured talks with Zald wouldn't go well." Alfia finished for her before turning back towards the mansion, just a hint of sorrow in her expression appeared before it vanished.

Silently she wished the former Zeus executive goodbye. One of the few she could actively stand to be in proximity of.

Because in his weakened state, there was no way that he would beat Bell. She'd figured that out quickly during their small scuffle.

'That didn't mean that he wouldn't put up a fight' she mused just as another explosion sounded with an ear-shattering boom.

"Shit… is this what a fight between level 7's is like?" Lyra hissed as she swore that half the city would be leveled by them.

"Hardly, both Zald and Bell surpass the limits of their level. It's more accurate to say this is a fight between two level 8's." Alfia corrected. Well, to be honest, a fight between a level 9 and a level 8, but that's just semantics given the circumstances.

"Holy…" Neze mumbled as Alise and Ryuu just stared. Riveria simply looked in the direction with worry as the silver-haired woman continued towards the door.

"Shall we take it inside or are you going to continue gawking like small children at a play?" That seemed to snap everyone's attention towards the heterochronic woman.

Within moments, the group entered the mansion, and Alise and the rest of the Astraea familia executives greeted the members that were inside, which was only a few.

It didn't take long for them to reach an open room with comfortable seating where a certain goddess sat, reading something on a piece of parchment.

The moment the group entered, her bright blue eyes turned upwards, widening slowly as she laid eyes on Alfia standing amidst her own children.

"This is quite a surprise… yet not unwelcome." She uttered softly, as her kind gaze aimed at her children and Riveria turned somewhat unsure towards the level 7 woman.

"Astraea! You won't guess what happened!" Alise exclaimed as the goddess looked towards her child, smiling in amusement.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, Bell-kun came out of nowhere and kicked some sense into 'Silence' here but some people decided to fight so the beautiful and incredible woman I am, I came up with a perfect plan for their ple- ehm, I mean their benefit."

Lyra snorted while Kaguya smiled in amusement at the near slip-up. Alfia quirked an eyebrow while both Riveria and Ryuu seemed to be none the wiser.

"Ah… I see. Where is Bell-kun? I don't seem to see the child anywhere with you."

"He went to negotiate with Zald, futile as it is," Alfia spoke before anyone could, returning the goddesses' attention to her.

"That is who he is, as you should know, 'Silence'... besides, I would like to have a few words with you before he arrives if you'd be so kind." Astraeas's words and request were returned with a slight nod accompanied by a sigh.

"Actually, could I have a word with everyone before that?" Alise asked, raising one hand as if she was in school.

Almost everyone's eyebrows quirked as her smile turned into a Cheshire grin.

"So… here's my idea…"

To say the least… everyone who was a part of it ended up agreeing to the red-haired vixens plot.

As Bell stood over what was now the corpse of one of his closest friends, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and pain. Zald just would not listen, no matter what he said.

He stood by his beliefs to the end which is something to be proud of, but… god. That did not mean it didn't hurt.

"I'm sorry… I wish we could have solved it another way…" Bell uttered before paying his last respects to the legendary member of the Zeus familia, before turning around and heading into the Stardust Garden.

He truly hoped that Alfia would keep her stance in standing down… he didn't want to have to put down another friend…

Especially one as close as her.

As he began nearing the Astraea familia's home, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, a sense of warning that something was going to happen which he didn't know if it was good or bad.

Either way, it didn't stop him as he practically barged through the gates, the few members who were there not even batting an eye after noticing it's him used to his presence as a friend of the familia and its goddess.

Heading inside the manor, he had expected to find the group neck-deep in arguments… what he didn't expect was to find Alise and the rest of the executives apart from Ryuu not be present.

Alfia was sipping on some tea as Astraea talked, and Ryuu was seated next to her goddess with Riveria in an empty seat by the short end of the table.

"Ah, Bell-kun. We've waited for you." Astraea greeted, smiling as Alfia opened her eyes, looking straight into his own.

The moment he noticed that all eyes were on him, and no more words were said, he knew something was up.

"Okay… why are you all looking at me like that? It's… uhhh… making me nervous." He chuckled out awkwardly, glancing between everyone.

"Why don't you sit? We have come to a mutually applicable solution to our disagreement." Astraea's words sent a chill down his spine as his mind whirled.

'Wait… disagreement? The one they had before!? But then it must have something to do with me!' He fretted, sitting down and suppressing the urge to fidget under all of their gazes.

"Now, as you know, there was a bit of a scuffle outside with some of the ladies-"

"Because the hag wouldn't let me talk."

"-and we have come to a compromise. Now, as you certainly know, the disagreement was centered around you." Astraea continued, not even glancing or giving any sign of hearing Alfia's words, even though Riveria was frowning at the woman.

Bell simply nodded to the goddess as Ryuu sat and stared straight into her lap, a wild blush evident on her face and… were those eyes swirling?

"Now, we came to a simple compromise that quite frankly, includes sharing you." The bluntness of the words only served to increase his confusion.

'Share me…? What?'

"So, the best way to try this out is simply for us all to head down to some private quarters that Alise and the others are preparing. As an initiation of this… agreement."

He swore steam was piling up on the roof after leaking so much out of her ears that it was actually quite impressive.

Riveria looked impassive, but he could see the uncertainty and nervousness in her eyes.

As for Alfia, well… with her eyes closed and expression so ethereal, it was an impossibility to even pick out the tiniest emotions from her features.

"So… shall we head down?" Bell blinked as the goddess stood up, lost, but deciding it was better to simply go along with this.

It can't be that bad, can it?

As the rest of the group stood up and headed through the manor and down some stairs, Bell smiled lightly as he looked around at the familiar open spaces that did not feel as if it was downstairs.

Even with the large garden that gave the name to this manor upstairs, the greenery somehow prevailed down here, he had no idea why, but they did.

Perhaps harvesting the sun's rays and releasing them through the magic stone lamp? He knew that was possible from the dungeon and that there was some manner of successful replication of that effect.

He had no confirmation, but this might serve as just that.

Moving into a tighter hallway all the way to the end, they eventually reached a door that opened before they could reach it with a certain redhead stepping outside with that damn grin on her face again.

"One 'hanky panky' room for my goddess and her company." She announced dramatically, bowing as if serving some stuck-up noble, wiking at Ryuu before her grin widened predatorily towards Bell, sending a thousand alarm bells ringing within every veritable inch of his brain, but before he was able to act upon it, Riveria had grabbed hold of his wrist and dragged him inside right as the door shut with a loud click…

From the other side!?

The moment she looked around the room, he instantly began to sweat furiously.

One large bed, with heart-shaped pillows and bright red thick and honestly, comfortable looking linen… and when he said large, he meant large. One could probably fit a silverback onto it

But that wasn't what set him off. It was the table with… toys… those toysAND WERE THOSE CHAINS!?

Turning around and fully intending on breaking the door down, he cocked his arm back just as a single word registered in his mind before everything went black.

'Gospel'

The moment his consciousness began to return to him, he momentarily thought he'd somehow been stupid enough to have a drinking contest with Zald and Gareth again.

But that thought was softly sent spiraling out of his mind as he blinked open his eyelids. The first thought that came to him was, as always, eloquent and reflecting the standing of the elven race.

'TITS!?'

Yes… this had to be the weirdest dream he had ever had.

There were four women, who looked strangely similar to his closest female companions, naked on the bed he was on… and why was he chained?

He wasn't this kinky, was he…? Nooo… that can't be…

Groggily, he pulled at the chains fruitlessly, the metal not even showing an ounce of strain under his over-leveled level 7 strength.

'That's strange…' He thought.

"Sorry, Bell-kun, but those chains are infused with the Durandal attribute… and the wall is reinforced with it as well…" Blinking and looking towards the voice he knew all too well as the goddess of justice.

And he apparently wasn't imagining or dreaming it. She was full-blown naked, her creamy white skin and impressive and supple breasts highlighting the beauty of the woman.

"Ehm… why are you naked… no-" He blinked, registering that whatever this was, was real… and the other women were exactly who he thought they were at the start.

"Why… are all of you naked?" The question tumbled out of his mouth as Astraea and surprisingly Alfia crawled over to him, the two elves behind looking much more reserved than the god and human.

"Figure it out. Your brain isn't as addled as others in this city." Alfia answered as his thoughts raced. He scarcely noticed their hands reaching over to the hem of his pants before yanking them down.

He would have liked to have said that he gave out a manly protest, but what instead came out of his mouth was an embarrassingly high-pitched yelp as he crossed his legs in a desperate attempt to hide his clearly erect member, gleaming in the light and showcasing itself to the girls in front of him in all its glory.

"Mmmm… not bad." Astraea? Was that really Astraea letting out such a… seductive voice…

And she's licking her lips.

His brain finally homed in on a singular fact that simultaneously made him pale and his erect member to twitch at the prospect.

He was fucked… and if things progressed in this manner, even he couldn't miss the fact that the statement would become quite literal.

Unless he did something, now!

"G-girls, ehm… might I request an e-e-explanationnnnnn!?" He ground out as Alfia jumped the gun and practically swallowed him whole, Astraea gasping slightly, leaning back with wide eyes while the elven girls blushed deeply as Ryuu moved to cover her eyes.

Without hesitation, her silver hair began to wave around wildly as her head moved up and down, tongue swirling around him in a manner that had him wondering whether she had done this before.

His voice escaped him without permission as a subdued, unwilling grunt sounded and only seemed to spur Alfia on as she redoubled her efforts, a slight smirk playing on her lips as her eyelids opened slightly, her contrasting eyes looking up at him as Bell's eyes got lost in her gaze.

He swore there was a heat in her eyes that rendered him completely helpless as she had her way with him, the three other girls watching… though he could see Astraea having reached down and begun rubbing herself as her eyes took in the scene with rapt attention.

As the pressure built and became almost unbearable, Bell silently wondered how the hell things had come to this. Normally, he'd chuck this in the 'Dreams I don't think about but enjoy' part of his mind, but the sensation of her mouth, the wetness that dripped down onto his crotch, the occasional rubbing of her teeth against his length showcasing her inexperience, despite her lack of effort and success. It was all too real, giving his brain enough reason to forgo the idea of an amazing dream.

"Ugh…" Bell grunted again as the effort to hold back grew almost unbearable. With Alfia's continuously improving motions and efforts alongside her apparent desire to completely ruin any and all composure he had, he honestly didn't know how he was supposed to hold back.

Gritting his teeth, he pushed back a surge of pleasure that promised to blow away all his self-control right before his face was tilted to his right before he met the eyes of the goddess of Justice. Not hesitating for a second, the goddess connected her lips to his own in a tender and soft embrace as her tongue began to probe against his lips with care.

It was loving in a way he did not expect for such a situation. Intimate in a way he did not imagine, but should have expected from her.

It took a few seconds before the combined efforts of the two-sided assault to finally broke through as all his walls crumbled, his mind going blank as he returned the kiss fervently, lips dancing with one another for control. The goddess moaned in response, wrapping her arms around his neck as she pulled him closer as the sounds of Alfia gulping him down hard one last time sent him spiraling off the cliff.

Alfia stilled, lips locked tight as cum poured into her mouth, her throat welcoming it as she gulped it down, tongue moving around the length as if to clean up any remainers that may escape her.

Bell moaned loudly into the kiss as his hips shuddered and the wave of pleasure akin to complete and utter bliss consumed him. Never in his life had he felt such a sensation, especially considering that every time Alfias tongue swiped at him, he shuddered to the point that it almost hurt.

Combined with the still ongoing kiss, he honestly might believe that he was in heaven, but eventually, Alfia released his member with a loud pop as his dick fell flat on his stomach.

Astraea followed suit and broke the kiss, smiling at him seductively as Bell slowly opened his hazed eyes.

For a moment, his mind remained completely blank before thought began to permeate the fog that seemed to have overcome him.

"Mmm, Bitter, but a delicacy in its own way," Alfia commented as if commenting on a steak dinner.

Taking his eyes off the two women who had been dominant, and noticed that Riveria had moved to his left with Ryuu to Alfia's right.

"Well… I'd say that was a nice warm-up." Astraea commented as Alfia seemed to agree.

"Easy for you to say…" Riveria mumbled as Ryuu blushed.

"At least I am not the, hag." Alfia threw back as Riveria seemed to growl and take it as a challenge.

"If that is the case-" The emerald-haired elf threw her leg off his side and straddled him as her fingers wrapped against his still erect member, lining it up with her lower lips as Bell's eyes immediately widened "-I'll just have to prove you wrong."

He had no time to even protest as she lowered herself, her soft dripping sex parting, welcoming the intrusion before he completely dropped herself onto him, an embarrassing squeak releasing from her throat as a wave of pain went up her spine.

Ryuu almost jumped in surprise at Riveria's blatant action and disregard for traditional elven behavior… though it wasn't like she could talk. This entire 'plan' was an affront to it to begin with.

Astraea on the other hand blinked before smirking alongside a frowning Alfia.

"R-riveria… God…" He moaned as every twitch felt like bliss. She felt so soft and his arms strained against the chains as he subconsciously moved to grab her hips to steady her.

After a moment of adjustment, Riveria leaned forward with her hands on his chest before her rear moved up slowly until the tip of Bell's dick could just be seen, then let her hips fall down again with a soft smack, eliciting moans from both parties. Riveria noted that the pain had lessened, replaced by a pleasure that she needed to feel again.

Not wasting a moment, she repeated the motion and was aptly rewarded by it as the sensation returned, stronger than last time as she felt her chest warm up, causing her body to gain a reddened tint to it.

Slowly, Riveria began to gain a rhythm as her breathing intensified, her soft moans becoming more rhythmic as pressure began building in her core.

On the other hand, despite having just released, Bell struggled to withhold cumming in an embarrassingly short amount of time as he swore that she was trying to squeeze the life out of him.

"How is it, Bell-kun?" Bell's eyes snapped open at Astraea's words and husky tone.

"Does it feel good?" She continued as Rivera seemed to contract around him tightly for a moment, forcing a mix between a grunt and a moan out of him.

"There is no point in denying it, your expression reveals it all." Alfia joined in, seemingly joining Astraea's bandwagon.

"You can admit it." The goddess continued as Bell wared with his thoughts and the sensation.

If this went on any longer, all his control would be gone. There would be no going back, he knew it.

"I-" He got out as the elf riding him changed her positioning, straightening her back as she shifted the angle before she made one thrust.

"Ohh~!" Her moan was loud, echoing around the room as Bell stared at her, taking in the sight of her for all intents and purposes, riding him with vigor, chest bouncing enticingly and his member disappearing into her dripping cunt repeatedly.

It was almost too much to take as he felt an extreme desire to blow his load into her hard. He had no idea where it came from, but it washed over him as his cock twitched involuntarily, hardening it further and increasing the sensations he felt.

He couldn't help but moan.

"Yes…" He mumbled. Astraea and Alfia glanced at one another, the former Hera Familia executive letting a small smirk play on her lips as she moved her lidded gaze towards Bell as she leaned close, breath tickling his skin as her next words were unmistakable.

"Then let go." She whispered, and his control crumbled completely, and without warning he thrust into Riveria hard as she squeaked, her rhythm broken as she lost her balance slightly as he began to ram himself into her, her moans growing louder as she stilled and began moving in tandem with him, matching his rhythm.

"I-I'm close!" Riveria breathed out between moans as he felt his own release nearing rapidly. Deciding to chase it, he increased his pace, modifying his angle slightly to hit a different spot, both came undone as her head was thrown back, legs and hips shaking as the princess of the elves experienced her first orgasm wash over her in waves as she felt his warm seed spill into her unprotected womb, filling her in the best way possible that satisfied something primal inside of her, and despite her wish to contemplate it, she was unable to push a single coherent thought into her fritzed brain as the pleasure completely tore away at every one of her walls, reducing them to dust.

As they came down from their high, Riveria collapsed on top of him, breathing loudly in bliss, not even registering Astraea complaining that she should make room for them to have a go.

It took a bit of coaxing, but Alfia managed to lift the elven princess off of him and to the side before she glanced at Ryuu who stared at Bell's member.

Thinking for a moment, the silver-haired beauty reached over and pulled the blonde elf toward her, lining her nose up right in front of his soaked penis.

Ryuu felt as if her face had become a furnace as she the smell of Riveria's juices and Bell's semen invaded her nose. It was strong, and embarrassingly enough evoked a throb in her core.

"Come now, we all agreed to this. Now stop being an incompetent prude, and show him just how you feel." Alfia's words were rough, but she couldn't refute them. They had all agreed to this, after some coaxing by her vixen of a captain of course, but she had agreed nonetheless.

It was quite the predicament for her elven pride. On one hand, this entire situation went against her nature in every conceivable way imaginable, on the other hand, both her personality and her elven instincts did not allow her to go back on an agreement… so she tentatively reached out and wrapped her fingers around his length.

'Now what…?' She wondered for a split second. She had no experience, not even from conversations with others. Whenever the concept of anything naughty came up, she either violently ended the subject or left promptly before any details could be revealed.

It made her feel wholly inadequate compared to what she'd seen thus far and it made her want to hide in a corner and wallop in shame.

She always preferred to be prepared, and if she wasn't, she was always felt on edge or her confidence plummeted.

Taking a leap into the dark, she began stroking the length up and down slowly as she noticed him twitch. Glancing up at him, she met his eyes that seemed to beg her to continue. Taking it as a good sign, she began speeding up as his member grew back to the length it was before.

Deciding it was a good time, Alfia nodded at Astraea who reached over and within moments, the chains that held Bell were released.

With a loud squeak, Ryuu found herself on her back, legs spread as he positioned him right in front of her, staring into her nervous eyes taking in his length aimed at her like a spear.

"Do you want me to stop?" He asked tenderly as she seemed to contemplate the questions for a moment before her eyes squeezed shut.

Bell thought for a split second that he'd made a mistake before he saw her head shake, eyes meeting his own as her lips parted.

"No." That was all he needed as he Astraea's arms wrapped themselves around him with her head on his shoulder.

"Ease her into it. Slowly." She instructed as he chuckled and played along.

Lesirously entering the blonde elven warrior, he savored her wavy and soft texture that wrapped around him before he met a barrier. Carefully squeezing through, he felt her stiffen as it gave way before bottoming up as their hips collided.

"You're doing good, now allow her to adjust…" Bell listened to the goddess's instruction, watching Ryuu move around to find a comfortable position as he picked up on some noise behind him.

Turning his head, he noticed Riveria licking Alfia as the silver-haired ex-adventurer sighed out in contentment as she spurred her on.

He couldn't help but wonder what other otherworldly event he was gonna see today.

A wiggle brought his focus back on the elf under him who seemed to be growing impatient at his lack of action.

"Now…" Bell waited for Astraea to finish her instruction as he met her eyes. "Ravage her." He blinked for a second as he glanced at Ryuu who looked at her goddess in shock, before her eyes shifted to him, a mix of apprehension and excitement playing on her features.

A playful smirk placed itself on his face as he decided to give her just what she wanted and began thrusting at a rapid pace without so much as a wind-up.

He was not disappointed in her reaction as her hands squeezed the fabrics of the bed and her legs wrapped around his waist as if to prevent him from escaping.

'Fat chance of that.'

It took a moment, but as the first couple of moans began escaping the elf's throat, she wrapped his hand around one of her perky breasts and squeezed softly as he latched his mouth onto her nipple, sucking and biting softly at it as her reaction was immediate.

Her back arched, pushing her chest harder into him, her moans growing louder with every thrust.

"That's it, Bell-kun. Make her yours." The words from the goddess only increased his pace as he moved his mouth from her nipple, to Ryuu's own as he swallowed her moans. She returned the effort with no hesitation, twirling her tongue alongside his in a fight for domination before he felt her squeeze the life out of him with her entire body shuddering, indicating that she was cumming.

With a final few thrusts, he buried himself deep, releasing his third load inside his elven friend as he moaned into her lips.

The two kissed each other for a few moments as they came down from their high before he pulled out of her, his seed slowly flowing out of her womanhood.

Ryuu smiled up at him, cheeks flaming but a satisfied expression showing on her face.

"Now, I believe it's my turn." Astraea said as she moved closer. Bell glanced towards Alfia who seemed to have had her fun with Riveria, her eyes locked with his as an idea popped into his skull.

"Wait, I've got an idea." Intrigued, she watched as he laid back and motioned her to straddle him. Obliging, she moved over and did as she was told.

"Alfia, come here." The Silence nodded as she crawled over.

"Sit on me. I think I can do what Riveria did while Astraea does what she wants." He voiced his idea as both women seemed to perk up at that, the more composed Alfia simply quirking her eyebrow but finding the idea to have merit and obliged.

The moment her pussy was in his reach, his tongue immediately began lapping up the juices as the woman let out a content sigh in response. Astraea on the other hand wasted no time and practically impaled herself as the pain of her lost virginity washed over her.

Despite that, only moments later, she began to move as gasps escaped the formerly virgin goddess while Alfia has sat more firmly on Bell's face. To the goddess, the sight of his tongue lapping up the woman's juices as Alfia let out a moan was intoxicating, especially paired with the sensations that she had only heard stories of traveling up and down her spine.

Both Ryuu and Riveria watched the scene from the side, the former not knowing what to feel as she watched her goddess acting in a manner that broke her former image completely. The calm, steadfast goddess that never truly lost her cool and stood for Justice while cherishing her virginity is replaced by the image of her rutting against Bell as she moaned.

It was only further broken as in a surprise motion, she pulled Alfia's face towards her and smashed their lips together, much to the woman's surprise. Riveria simply leaned on her side as she enjoyed the view while Alfia seemed to return the kiss, rubbing against Bell slightly as his hand moved up and began to toy with her clit.

The moan that escaped Alfia's mouth caused Astraea to shudder and squeeze down on Bell harder, causing his own grunt and moan which looped back into Alfia, eliciting another reaction.

It was like a feedback loop that only served to push them closer and closer to the edge as all there felt like they were almost there.

Moments later, Bell let out a large moan as Astraea stilled, the feeling of him spilling his seed sending her over the edge at the same time Alfia did. The scene of all three cumming at the same time sent a shiver down both Riveria and Ryuu's spines as a wave of need made itself known.

Collectively coming down from their high, Alfia and Astraea dismounted him as the former moved to take the goddess' place. The goddess of justice was more than happy to oblige and moved to the side, letting the woman position herself as Bell's eyes widened.

"W-wait, I'm still way too sensi-!" He was cut off as slammed herself down, the pain not even bothering her. It was nothing, absolutely nothing compared to that sickness that washed her in suffering most could not fathom on a regular basis.

All the air was washed out of his body as the two level 7 bodies met one another. If he had any capacity for thought at the moment, he would have wondered how the bed did not give out under her extreme strength, but it was washed away as he acclimated to the sensation once more of a woman enveloping him.

Within moments, leaned forward, grabbing his hands as she held them on his side firmly before beginning her motions, eyes locked with his, almost demanding him to look at her.

"What do you want?" Her question sparked a million others in Bell's mind as confusion filled him for a moment, but as her movements became unbearably slow, teasing him in an exquisite and excruciating way, the questions disappeared for need. He struggled against her hold, but with the exhaustion from already having released four loads, his strength seemed to fail him.

"W-what?" He asked, her eyes boring into his own, a smirk playing on her lips as he swore her eyes twinkled.

"What. Do you want?" She repeated firmly, before her eyes broke contact with his own, gaining a slight mischievousness to them that he knew only meant trouble, especially from a woman that was anything but mischievous. A firm thrust downwards, forced him to squeeze his jaw and eyes to shut tightly as he suppressed a moan.

"Well, the lack of answer is disconcerting. Might as well stop-"

"No!" Before he could even think, the word tumbled out of mouth with more need than he felt comfortable with.

Alfia raised her eyebrow, her smirk widening as she leaned closer, lips grazing against his own as her eyes danced with his own.

It was like they were in a world of their own as he felt his heart hammer against his chest in anticipation.

"Then tell me. What. Do you. Want." The last word was followed with her lips latching onto his throat as he instinctively tilted his head to give her better access.

"I- Fuck!" He grunted, their hips meeting again in a slow and sensual movement. This was far more intimate than he'd anticipated. He'd expected her to rut against him violently and demandingly in a manner that reflected her personality but… this? This was just so different that he could not place the woman currently kissing and sucking at his throat.

The three others simply watched with rapt attention as Alfia slowly ate away at his conscience, burrowing herself deeper and breaking down his remaining flimsy walls.

Letting go of his throat, watching the rapidly purpling skin with satisfaction, she turned back towards him before letting go of his arms and wrapping her own around his neck, stilling completely in a position that gave him no leverage.

"Tell me what you want…" Her lips were back in front of his own as his eyes finally lost themselves in hers.

"And I'll give it to you." She finished, waiting for his response.

"Too…" he hesitated for a moment, but the constant eye contact and lip brushing washed it away with ease, like dust in the wind.

"Let me fuck you." The words felt foreign on his tongue, but he had no time to contemplate as her lips crashed with his own, her hips resuming their movements with more strength and power than before as she roughly and with extreme passion swallowed his tongue and saliva like a delicacy.

He didn't even hesitate to return the kiss as his hands smacked against her rear, eliciting a loud moan into his mouth as she shuddered and rubbed against him harder and tightened considerably.

He almost jumped in surprise at the reaction as he couldn't help but feel a wave of satisfaction fill him at the knowledge that he got one up on her.

'She enjoyed that!' He thought before giving her ass another spank as the gasps from Ryuu and Riveria entered his ear, mingling with the muffled moan from Alfia.

Astraea felt herself wetten at the thought of being in Alfia's place, surprising herself at how the imagination excited her. Watching Bell give a few more smacks and Alfia's own apparent positive vocal and physical reaction to the action only served to excite her more.

A few seconds later, Bell began to move with Alfia, lifting himself up to a seating position as she remained in his lap, humping at him and squeezing the life out of him, he brought her and his legs across the edge of the bed and stood up, wrapping his arms around her legs, before thrusting into her hard.

If she likes it rough, then he can give it rough. The action caused the woman in his arms to redouble her efforts in her kissing, pushing her lips against his own harder as if trying to regain some sort of advantage she'd lost with his move.

The fight for control over the other felt intoxicating in a way Bell honestly didn't want to end. While the others had given him satisfaction in their own, unique, and blissful ways. Alfia seemed to tug at him in a way he honestly couldn't deny he loved.

It wasn't a complete domination on one end like he did with Ryuu or a mixed bag of changing the dominant party with Riveria. It wasn't even the shared pleasure that Astraea caused, but a mutual tug-war that forced his attention and ignited his competitive nature exquisitely.

Deciding he needed to gain a larger advantage as he felt start to win, he moved to the wall, practically shoving her against it as he dropped one of the legs before shifting the angle and finally thrusting hard. Her tongue froze for a second as her body seized.

Did… Did he hit a spot? He wondered before repeating the action, only to be rewarded by the same reaction.

'Ohh… I got you now' He thought gleefully before putting on a rhythm as he reached up and cupped her generous chest and squeezing roughly as her gasps and breaths mingled with her moans in a way that reaffirmed that whatever spot he had hit broke away at her composure like a hammer to thin ice.

It was good timing too as he felt his release nearing… and it wasn't helped by the fact that one of the girls seemed to have moved up behind him and wrapped their fingers around the base of his shaft as he fucked Alfia against the wall.

"Come on, give it to her… You can see that she wants it." Ah… was that… Riveria? Okay, he did not expect that… but he wasn't complaining. Her words only spurred him on as his pace quickened and Alfia began to shudder, feeling the pressure in her core crack as it finally erupted.

The hard moans that escaped her were swallowed by his tongue, his hand swiftly moving down to rub her clit, drawing out the pleasure as he stilled and spilled into her, pouring all the satisfaction he felt into the kiss they had sustained for so long.

Eventually, though, they had to stop as they broke apart Alfias legs shook, nearly causing her to collapse as she leaned against the frame of the bed.

"God… that was… wow." Bell said, blinking as he allowed the satisfaction of whatever the hell had just happened with the girls to wash over him.

"Well… Bell-kun." He turned to the side, blinking as he saw Astraea and Ryuu look at him, heat in their eyes as he felt Riveria squeeze his length. Even Alfia seemed to give him the same look of desire, as if her orgasm just now hadn't been enough.

"We're just getting started." The words only served to cause his nervousness to spike, silently wondering if this… was going to be his end.

A few minutes, above out in the garden, the ground shook as a certain red-haired captain looked back at the house with her closest companions doing the same.

Alise smirked and internally praised her awesome idea. After all only someone as beautiful and awesome as her could manage to get those four in bed after all.

=Orario, Stardust Garden=

Groggily waking up, Bell for a moment wondered where he was before remembering the night before. He had no idea how long they had gone at it, but by the end, he swore that he did not have a drop left in him.

On his sides, Alfia and Astraea were sleeping soundly as the latter drooled on his chest, a content smile on her face while the former's expression could not be made out due to her hair covering it completely.

'Wait, where are Riveria and Ryuu?' He wondered.

A sensation in his lower region caused him to frown as he looked down and under the quilt, only to come face to face with the two missing elves, licking his member as their eyes locked with his own with desire burning inside of them.

If he learned one thing yesterday… it was that the shy and composed ones… are the ones who are freaks in the sheets.

Well… he wasn't complaining… no, he was the same.

And he'd be damned if he didn't enjoy it.


Done… and I am still unsure about this. I haven't really written a smut like this before so I honestly have no idea if it's any good. I do hope it is though, so… enjoy?

Anyway, I wanted to repeat what was said at the top in case anyone missed it. This fic was commissioned by a patron who wishes to remain anonymous.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed, and happy readings!
