Burning Love of Justice!

by Ventanus

My idea of Bell entering Orario during the Dark times, it isn t a full Ero story, but there will be plenty of naughty stuff. Harem setting.

6. Dancing with a Goddess

"H-Here is your tea, Master Bell."

A cup was placed very carefully in front of Bell, on the table in the living room, then tea got poured into it from a teapot. The maid who brought it for him, was very careful while doing that.

Bell smiled gently, not one drop got spilled.

"I thank you, Haruhime."

After she put the teapot down, Bell gently patted her head, Haruhime really loved to get this as a reward for doing good work, it had started with Neze and Astrea doing that. Even Lyra did it from time to time, there was no one in the familia who didn´t adore Haruhime.

Kaguya smirked from her place on the couch on the other side of the table, looking at the other two maids.

"And again, Haruhime proved to be better than you. I personally would die of shame..."

Kaguya loved to tease Chloe and Lunor, both tried their best to remain calm, but Chloe´s tail betrayed her. Yet they had to agree, Haruhime´s happy smile, hearing her giggle when Bell patted her head and even the wagging of her tail...it was to die for.

Astrea sat in an elegant way in her personal armchair. "Kaguya, don´t tease them too much, this is bad manners."

"I´m just doing my job properly and teaching them how to be good servants."

"Maids."

"That´s what we called our maids back in the Far East."

When Haruhime curtsied politely at the end, while holding the skirt of her uniform up about two centimeters, while bowing forward, some of them sighed.

Then, Haruhime went to Astrea and the goddess lifted her slightly up and placed her on her lap, then gave her a biscuit. Haruhime smiled happily, she liked sweets, especially those in Orario, which were unknown to her.

And Astrea loved to dote on her.

Haruhime mostly sat on Neze´s lap or next to her, after that came Astrea, then next to Ardee and Bell, who had the same hobby as her. But only Neze and Astrea were allowed to touch Haruhime´s ears and tail. Neze mostly did that with her tail, mostly out of instinct. Beast people often made sure that their scent was on their partner or family members. While they had to be careful with Haruhime´s tail, it was nothing compared to her ears. Ears were very sensitive, for beast people and for elves.

So when Astrea now gently scratched Haruhime´s ears, the little girl started to purr. Renards were the only beast people next to cat people who did this special sound.

And she only purred when Astrea or Neze touched her.

Right now, Astrea and Haruhime looked very much like mother and daughter. With her, Haruhime got a feeling that she never knew, since her mother had passed away while giving birth to her. And with Haruhime, Astrea got a feeling again that she missed ever since Alise grew up into a young woman since Alise had joined Astrea when she was still a child.

Maternal feelings.

Oh how much Astrea had missed to take care of children, all of her followers grew up so fast, so it was quite refreshing to have such a small bundle of joy in the house.

And in a special way, Haruhime had managed to climb up to rank one.

Since Bell didn´t like sweet things, he always gave away his dessert to one of the others, it was mostly Ardee since she had a sweet tooth. But now Haruhime got these desserts, it was just too cute for everyone to see her ears wriggle and see the tail wag.

And it awakened the wish in some of them to become mothers themself one day, even when it was a bit too early for most of them.

With a few exceptions...

"Mouh, Isy. You have something on your cheek again, eat properly."

Maryuu leaned with a handkerchief to the side and wiped the biscuit crumbs from Iska´s cheek.

"Nah! D-Don´t call me Isy, Mar!"

The Amazon tried to evade, but Maryuu was "merciless". She was like the big sister of the whole familia, except for Bell of course... But for Iska, Maryuu was in many ways her big sister. Both grew up in the same orphanage, and Maryuu always took care of the younger Amazon.

"I´m not a child anymore!"

"Really? When I came to your room yesterday, it was a mess. Again."

"I was just testing new outfits and combinations, I don´t have time to put them all away right away."

"Yet you needed my help to clean everything up."

"Ungh..."

It was rare to see an Amazon embarrassed, but Iska could and would never really argue against Maryuu. And Maryuu was really proud of her "little sister". She also made sure every time she used her healing magic, that Iska was in range, as a close combat fighter, it was quite common that Iska got hurt. That was why Maryuu had cried so much after they got the report from Freya about what had happened during the incident on the 27th floor, where Ottar went instead of them. No one knew what would´ve happened if they went.
So Maryuu thanked the gods for Bell being there.

Even when the way he rescued them was quite embarrassing.

"I-I have a boyfriend now, I´m all grown up, alright?"

Maryuu chuckled. "You think just because you have a boyfriend, does mean you´re an adult lady now?"

"I will show you!"

"Hehe~~ Do that."

It was quite normal for both to behave like that. Maryuu knew that Iska was grown up, but she couldn´t resist doting on her.

After Bell had finished his tea, Chloe now moved, since Haruhime got occupied by Astrea. The goddess secretly really loved cute and fluffy things.

Chloe would do her absolute best to not get outshined by Lunor or Haruhime! Even when it was a punishment, she had her pride, she would be the number one maid! And with her elegant, slender body, it was easy for her to move in her outfit. Lunor wasn´t used to something like that, so she was more than a bit clumsy.

Yet a clumsy maid had its own charm. But what really was a problem for Lunor, was that the maid outfit was completely closed, she was only used to her shirt with the underside cleavage. Chloe on the other hand... didn´t have many problems...or felt suffocated...

Not that it made her happy.

Chloe gave her best to make an elegant figure, while she poured more tea for Bell. Spilling even one drop would mean failure, but she succeeded.

"Here is nyour tea, M-Master Bell, Nya..."

Calling him Master was more than a bit embarrassing. Also attending to all of his needs, which didn´t mean that much for now since they still had to learn. But if that meant Chloe could have a more peaceful life, and get a sight of that nyautiful butt whenever she saw Bell from behind, she was all in for that!

When Chloe returned to her spot next to Lunor, she showed her a small smug grin.

Lunor silently clicked her teeth.

"Shall I give you a shoulder rub, Master?"

"That would be nice..."

Bell couldn´t resist being a bit careful, even more, when Lunor put her hands on his shoulders. But she was actually quite good with her hands. As much pain as she had given him before, knew Lunor quite well where to place her hands, especially her thumbs. His shoulders always became stiff when she put her hands there, but soon this feeling vanished.

Astrea smiled. "When you´re done with Bell, I would like a shoulder massage too, Lunor."

"As you wish, Lady Astrea."

If she were honest, completely honest, then Lunor was glad about the current situation. No bounty hunting anymore, no fighting except for her personal training in the very early morning, so that she wouldn´t disturb the others from her familia. Demeter liked to watch her and waited with a towel and water. That she now had a room in Demeter´s home was like a dream, the goddess really cared a lot about her and the others. Lunor swore an oath to her goddess, that since she was the only strong fighter in the familia, she would protect them all from monsters and other things.

Lunor had found a home and she would protect it at all costs!

Even more, after Astrea told her that Demeter was adamant about keeping Lunor in her familia. When the two goddesses talked in private, Demeter said she would do everything to help Lunor atone for her attack, but she wouldn´t give her child away. Astrea could demand everything else, even that she always got free vegetables for ten thousand years. But not giving away Lunor, Demeter was like that about all her children. Not that Astrea would demand something so cruel, she firmly believed in a second chance for everyone, and right now it was Lunor´s and Chloe´s turn.

Chloe now had her blessing on her back, two days ago Astrea talked with Njord. The god had seriously scolded Chloe, to the point that the cat girl started to sob and cry again. Then the god revealed his true intention why he scolded her, after pulling her into his arms.

"This could´ve gotten you killed, Chloe! Never to something so dumb again!"

"I´m sowwy! Meoooooow!"

For Astrea, it was sweet and sad to see Chloe cry in Njord´s hug, yet the punishment wouldn´t change. Njord had agreed with it, saying he would also deliver fish every few days. Mostly because he knew that Chloe liked fish a lot.

The familia members looked up when they heard a soft chirming. It was a small bell they hung up at the front gate to the garden.

"Chloe, would you be so kind?"

"As nyou wish, Nya."

Lunor was currently occupied and Haruhime was too young to go to the gate alone.

"Hm.." Alise looked over her shoulder to the door of the living room. "Is it wise to send Chloe alone? What if it is someone dangerous? Or someone who recognizes her?"

Astrea smiled. "I´m not worried. I doubt this will happen. Also, Chloe is a level four and has her dagger strapped to her right thigh."

A few of the others sat up suddenly when Astrea said that.

"Nya?! Nyou know that?!"

"Of course I do."

Chloe shrunk a bit down when some of the others glared at her.

"Nya..."

"Girls. Chloe doesn´t mean harm, she told us how important this dagger is to her. That´s why it's alright, let her keep it if it lets her feel safe."

It did more than just that for Chloe, the dagger was the only thing she held dear. Not only did she feel safe with it, but also sexy! A maid with a secret dagger hidden at her thigh? Mysterious and sexy! At least in her eyes. Yet she noticed how Bell´s eyes flashed to her thigh for a moment.

His gaze on her body wasn´t unpleasant for Chloe, not at all! Someone like Bell was absolutely her type! His body, his butt, everything was really nice! And, aside from being upset about them attacking him, Bell was always polite to her and Lunor. He understood that they got tricked, both had sworn in front of Astrea that they would never attack someone like him.

She felt really bad about her attack and would find ways to make up for it. Chloe felt even worse when Kaguya had intended to get a bit of revenge by rubbing salt into the wound. Kaguya had told them in secret that the mysterious and anonymous donor of the enormous amount of money that Ganesha used to help the citizens especially the orphans, came all from Bell.

Chloe had often enough used her hard-earned money in the past to help orphans, she became sort of their hero in some cases. But Bell...Bell was a saint! To think he had such an incredible amount of money and used it to help Orario and the orphans, then using the rest to erase all of his familia´s debts, keeping almost nothing for himself.

It surely hit the right spot, Lunor and Chloe felt even more like scum.

But also...there would be different feelings in Chloe in the future. Feelings she never had before in her life.

When she went out of the living room, Chloe made sure to move in a perfect, elegant, and graceful way. She was a "Cool Beauty" after all!

But what awaited her outside, frightened her a bit. Her tail got stiff and the hairs stood to end, even she could feel small tremors of magic power coming from the gate to the garden...

When Chloe went inside again, she looked halfway through the door to the living room.

"Lady Astrenya...therrre are two visitorrrs...Nya..."

Bell had to admit that Chloe´s way of talking was quite...cute.

"Oh? Who might that be? If it's not someone hostile, bring them in."

.

.

.

Alarmed by their senses, the members of the Astrea familia stiffened a bit when Chloe came in, followed by two visitors. Two very upset visitors, well one was very upset, the other looked amused, mostly because the first one was upset...and one of them had small magical shockwaves pulsing away from her, only strong enough to get felt by high leveled adventurers.

"Oh? Loki and young Riveria, what brings you here?"

Loki wanted to say something, and then she gasped.

"What is this adorable bundle of cuteness sitting on your lap, Astrea?!"

Astrea smiled and patted Haruhime´s head again. "Haruhime, the youngest member of our familia."

"Oh gosh...so cute...may I pet her?"

"No."

Haruhime looked curious at Loki and Riveria, while she continued to eat her biscuit. She wasn´t scared, not when she sat on Astrea´s lap, with Neze close to her, and the others around her.

But they saw that Riveria was almost fuming.

Loki grinned and pointed with her thumb at her follower. "Riveria wanted to come and talk to your Juggernaut. She is reeeeeally angry."

"With Bell? Why?"

Bell got up to his feet. "Lady Loki, Lady "Nine Hell", I wish you a good day. Did I do something to deserve your anger?"

Loki laughed. "Hah, it´s rare that I get called Lady!"

Riveria made a step forward. "You! It was you!"

"Huh?"

"You were the one to give Ais these fast food snacks, wasn´t it you?!"

"Eh?"

It took a moment for Bell to understand what Riveria meant.

"Oh, yes. When Ardee and I were in the city, we saw her exhausted and slightly wounded. She was very hungry, the Potato Snack stall was the closest option to get food."

"So it is because of you!"

"Huh?"

Riveria grit her teeth before she continued. "Do you even know what you´ve done?! Ais now refuses to eat most things. All she wants to eat are these fast food snacks! Nothing else! She says it's because they are magical, made her stronger for a short amount of time, healed her wounds and she can´t resist their taste!"

The others looked at Ardee for a moment, getting healed and having Ais´ status boosted for a short amount of time was definitely her magic.

"But she looked like she liked it?"

"Of course she did! Ais loves these things! But do you have any idea how hard it is to raise a child like her and now all she wants to eat is fast food?! This isn´t healthy!"

Loki laughed again, she crossed her hands behind her head. "Riveria has so much trouble now to convince Ais to eat her vegetables and such. And whenever she forbids Ais to go and buy Jaggarmaru, she gets upset or cries. And Ri Ri can´t handle little Ais crying."

Ryu and Celty looked shocked that Loki talked like that about Riveria, especially with that name.

"Don´t call me by that nickname, Loki!"

"But it sounds cute."

"I will take away all your booze!"

"Noooo! Not that! I swear I will behave, Mama!"

"Don´t call me Mama!"

"Riveria, you´re ninety-four, it's time for you to have child-!"

Loki was startled when she saw Riveria´s glare.

Then Riveria looked at Bell again. "You have no idea how much trouble we have now because of what you gave Ais. You can´t give a child fast food, she needs to eat her vegetables."

Astrea giggled. "Maybe she is just a picky eater? Haruhime likes sweets but she still eats all her vegetables."

Loki took her time to oggle the two maids of the Astrea familia, whistling slightly when Chloe walked past her. The goddess moved a hand in the direction of Chloe´s behind, but the cat girl sensed the danger and evaded it with grace.

"Loki, no harassing my children."

Before Riveria could say something else, Bell bowed slightly toward her.

"I´m sorry for what I did and the trouble I gave you, Lady Nine Hell. I just wanted to help the young Ms. Wallenstein, since she was so hungry. It wasn´t my intention to intervene with her education."

"Hmpf..."

Riveria didn´t know how to react to such an honest answer. She took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little.

"Just don´t do something like this again."

"I won´t, I swear it."

Loki looked amazed.

He made Mama calm down that fast? Wow!

"Good, then we´re done here."

Riveria turned around and was about to leave. Chloe wanted to step to the side to make room for Riveria, but Loki couldn´t fight her nature and tried to at least touch Chloe´s tail. Since tails were something very precious, and in Chloe´s case sensitive, she tried to evade quickly. Due to that she and Riveria got in each other's way. Riveria tried to evade too, but what would bring her close to Loki´s already twitching hands.

By no means would the High Elven princess allow to get touched by Loki! And even more when others would see her getting disgraced! So while both made a quick step, they bumped their feet against each other and tripped.

Since Chloe was a level four and Riveria a fresh level six, they could of course find their balance again fast enough. No one would even mention this ever again.

But to their bad luck...Bell was there. And Bell was not a normal adventurer. All of his stats had always exceeded 999, and he had something like a sixth and seventh sense when it came to women. The sixth got used to noticing every glimpse possible of his lovers, wherever a bit of skin was seen, especially thighs. He didn´t do that on purpose, his body did that, maybe due to the teachings of his grandfather...

But the seventh, reacted to women getting in danger, to save them.

So Bell´s body reacted before he could think about it. And it gleaned for a second.

Loki couldn´t believe her eyes when she could see again after this second.

"Nah!"

There were three Bells there now.

A cat´s tail wiped through the air, Chloe looked into one of Bell´s eyes, he had caught the tripping cat girl in his arms. One of her hands was on his chest, the other at his hip, while his arms were closed around her.

"Are you alright, Chloe?"

"Unya?!"

She was completely aware of the situation but heavily surprised by how fast he had moved in that split second. And that he caught her! He! Out of all people, he! He, who got stabbed by her! And he caught her in his arms so that she wouldn´t get hurt!

Chloe blinked multiple times, getting held like this felt...unfamiliar.

"Nya...Meow is..fine...thank nyou..."

For some reason, her body refused to move on its own. This warmth...the gentle hug...it...something of it hurt Chloe deep inside. Due to the rules of her former familia, and her not knowing that the adult cat woman was her mother, Chloe had never been hugged by someone like this before. Of course, the orphans had sometimes hugged her legs and arms, but it couldn´t be compared to this.

"Meow..."

Some of the others looked surprised, Chloe had just...meowed. Not talking in her usual cat-like way, but really meowed! Some of them knew that cat people rarely made this sound, even rarer than purring.

"Your face is red, are you really alright?"

Now her brain had time to let her get flustered.

"Unya! U-U-Unhand meow!"

"I´m sorry."

This scene was somewhat nice, but then they could hear Ryu and Celty cry out.

"Bell! What are you doing?!"

"Unhand Lady Riveria!"

While Chloe got caught by Bell from the front, Riveria got caught from behind.

The second Bell stood behind her, his left arm went around her rips, dangerously close to the underside of her breasts. But the right one, the hollow of his elbow was on the height of her right shoulder, his left hand resting on her left shoulder. His arm went right above her breasts again, so neither of his arms touched that spot, but they were "trapped" between his arms. Riveria´s right hand touched out of reflex his right elbow.

But her left hand...was trapped between her butt and Bell´s crotch, with the palm facing towards him. So by accident, groping what was hidden in his pants. And his left arm pinned her left arm to her body, so she couldn´t even take her hand away from that bulge!

For every single one of them, this looked like a very intimate hug between lovers.

Except for Haruhime.

"Fueh? Mother?"

Haruhime couldn´t see, Astrea still gently scratched Haruhime´s ears with her thumbs but used the rest of her hands to cover Haruhime´s eyes. When Bell started to move, the hands of the goddess also moved, she had guessed what could happen now.

"Hehe, don´t worry, Haruhime.~~ But this isn´t something you shouldn´t see."

Astrea noticed that Neze also had started to move her hand to cover Haruhime´s eyes, as well as Maryuu...to cover Iska´s.

"Mouh, Mar! What are you doing?! I´m not a kid!"

"That´s still not alright for you to see, Isy."

Loki couldn´t believe what she was seeing! Her little Ri-Ri got hugged like this! "Forced" to press her palm and fingers against Bell´s junk!

Was this his plan all along?! To give Ais fast food, so that she would crave it so that Riveria would get angry and come to him?!

Loki, as well as many other gods, heard the rumors that Bell wasn´t only Astrea´s lover, but also that of his whole familia! Well except for course for the little angel on Astrea´s lap. Judging by their behavior, Loki could believe that! So the name Juggernaut was fitting him more and more!

This was a trap! He wanted to put his hands on Ri-Ri! I´m sure of it! Who is next...wait...me?! Is he after me too?! Was this a trap to lure us both in?!

Loki saw how deeply crimson Riveria´s face was, her mouth was halfway open in shock.

"Oy, Oy, Oy! Juggernaut! When I said Riveria should have kids, I didn´t mean yours! And not right this moment!"

Despite the situation, Bell looked worried at Riveria. "Are you alright?"

"Unhand me!"

He immediately let go of Riveria. "I´m sorry, it was a reflex, I didn´t mean to touch you.."

Riveria mumbled with a low voice. "Filthy..."

"I..."

"Loki, we´re going! Now!"

"Comin´!"

Riveria stormed out of the room, followed by Loki.

The red-haired goddess was insanely amused by this situation. Even when she wouldn´t forgive Bell for putting his hands on Riveria´s body...because Loki herself never got to do this! But seeing Riveria hugged like that and flustered...was precious.

Still, the goddess had a bad feeling.

Judging by Riveria´s reaction, she didn´t slap him, throw him away, or punish him in any way for that, I should never mess with Astrea. If our familias would get into a fight, maybe even a wargame, she would just send this one man to charm all of my cuties! I can´t let this happen! Gonna keep little Aisy away from him, not that she gets a crush on him in the future!

Loki wondered, was Bell maybe sent down from the heavens? With his face, behavior, and body, he could easily get sent down to pleasure all the women!

I bet Freya already has her eyes on him!

Or...maybe...maybe Bell got sent from the dungeon instead?! To make all women fall for him, so the mortal races would die out?!

Or...

Did he get sent by Zeus?! To get revenge on all of Orario for kicking him out, by charming the cuties of Loki and Freya?! Loki heard that Freya had complained about one of her children having an interest in Bell.

That must be it! I have to observe him closely! And ask Finn to form a plan! Gonna keep all my cuties safe!

"Riveria!"

"What?!"

Loki saw that she was still agitated.

"How big was his package?"

"What do you mean?"

"His junk! Your hand was pressed against it, so you had to feel it! How big is he? This is important!"

"Loki I swear to all the gods...you will pay for this. I will confiscate all your booze!"

"Just tell me!"

"No!"

Riveria got even more ashamed since she had felt what Bell hid in his pants. And that she thought for a split second that it was impressive! She just wanted to return to one of her books and relax...but not one of the slightly naughty ones. Riveria of course only read them for education!

.

.
Bell used Intimate Lover´s Hug against Riveria.

It was very effective!

.

.

Lunor stood side by side with Chloe, looking at her flustered co-maid, then at Bell.

Most of them looked at Bell now, Asta, Ryana, and Neze went outside to take a bit of care of the garden, taking Haruhime with them.

Ryu was probably the most flustered. "Bell! You can´t do things like that! Suddenly touching Lady Riveria and do a-a-all the th-things!"

Celty was also "agitated". "Lion is right! Instead do these things to me!"

"Celty is r-No that´s wrong!"

Astrea giggled. "Ryu, but I know for a fact that you also love it when Bell hugs you so lovingly."

"Th-That may be! But Bell and I have feelings for each other and we had our oath! He just met Lady Riveria! Also, she is a high elf! And our princess!"

Bell blinked surprised. "She is a princess?"

Ryu frowned. "You better not get any ideas now, Bell..."

"I don´t!"

Alise laughed and crossed her hands behind her head. "Hah! Bell, you are really something else! Catching two women at once!"

Kaguya smirked in a naughty way. "And pressing his junk against her hand, that poor princess won´t forget this feeling soon."

Bell felt a slight tuck at his sleeve, Ardee looked at him and pouted slightly. Of course, she wanted to get held by him like this too.

Iska chuckled. "And to think he made our...I mean his maid that flustered."

Most of them looked at Chloe, who averted her red face, yet her tail betrayed her. Yes, it had felt nice to get hugged like this! But also...it was..painful. Reminding Chloe of what she never had.

Lunor gulped, to think that Bell did something like that so naturally. Maybe he was a player after all?!

.
In her home, Demeter suddenly frowned.

I have the feeling I sent Lunor right into a lion´s cave. I hope Mr. Bell won´t do anything cruel to her...

Ryu continued to scold Bell for a moment until Alise couldn´t bear it anymore. She pretended to get up and slightly shoved Ryu from behind, letting her stumble towards Bell.

"Kya!"

It was too cute and precious for Bell when Ryu made this sound. In a reflex, he caught her and closed his arms around her too.

"Meep..."

Another cute sound. They could see how Ryu´s skin color slowly turned from rosy to deep red. Yet she didn´t try to get free from Bell´s hug, her body betrayed her. Her body loved this, it craved to get held in a loving way by Bell.

Craved...to get kissed by him.

In ninety-nine out of a hundred cases, wanted Ryu for Bell to kiss her, instead of the other way around.

"Bell..."

"Ryu..."

"Nah!" She snapped out of it a moment later.

"D-Do that when we´re alone..."

Lyra laughed. "Oh look at our poor, pure, little one! Just admit that you love this!"

"B-Be quiet...Lyra..."

"Woah, what a maiden-like reaction."

Ryu hid her face halfway behind her right hand when she sat down again. "I am a Maiden..."

Ardee giggled and cuddled up to Ryu. "Awwww, Lion! You´re so cute when you´re flustered! It makes me want to make you flustered too!~~"

"Not you too, Ardee..."

Ardee whispered. "Why not? Hehe~~"

Kaguya smirked. "Hoo?~~~ Are you going all Yuri Yuri on Lion now, Ardee?"

"Bleh!" Ardee just struck out her tongue to Kaguya.

All of them knew that Ryu was Ardee´s best friend, a very special and dear person. And yes, when Ardee had "forced" Ryu to dance with her in the streets during the dark times, to cheer her up, it had felt very nice!

So maybe Ardee liked Ryu a little more than just being a friend.

.

.

.

Noin knocked on the table. "Everyone, we should now go back to the most important topic. The banquet is soon, we have to make sure that Lady Astrea stands out the most!"

"*Gasp* You´re right!"

"Of course we have to!"

"She is the most gorgeous after all!"

"Iska, what about her dress?!"

The amazon smiled. "Don´t worry, I´m finished with the dresses."

"You mean like in more than one?"

"Of course, Lady Astrea needs to have options to choose from. Also for later events!"

"As expected of Iska! Maryuu, make sure you pamper your little sister!"

Maryuu giggled. "I already intend to do that."

Iska looked flustered, a rare sight for an Amazon. "Mouh..."

Ryu frowned slightly. "What about Bell, does he have a fitting outfit? We can´t let him accompany Lady Astrea if not."

Iska smiled. "Don´t worry, he also has two suits. I made sure to measure him thoroughly."

Alise looked concerned. "Bell, do you know how to dance?"

Ardee raised her hand. "I showed him everything I know!"

Kaguya grinned. "Me too."

Noin nodded. "Me three."

All of them were not very much surprised that Bell managed to learn it fast, he was always a very fast learner. Be it facts about the dungeon, how to cook, clean the house, where the weak spots of his lovers were, and many more important things.

Ryu nodded. "Bell, you have to make sure that Lady Astrea has a perfect evening."

"I will do my best."

Astrea smiled. "Everyone, you forgot that Bell is supposed to have a nice evening too. I´m already happy to spend some time with him."

Alise shivered. "Kuuuh! That smile! She is too cute, so adorable!"

The others agreed nodding.

There was much to prepare for the evening.

.

.

.

"Everyone, be nice to Chloe, don´t be mean. And take care of Haruhime."

They nodded, most of them had a dream-like expression when they looked at Astrea. Iska had done a perfect job with the dress.

Astrea´s dress was of a beautiful, pure pink color, but with a few small white sparks here and there, to look like stars, representing their home. The dress went down to her feet, but had a long slit at the right side, up to the lowest point of her hip. So whenever Astrea would make a step forward, her right leg would be halfway exposed. Like her usual, white dress, this one also didn´t cover her shoulders, instead, the cloth that covered her breasts went further up and was bound behind her neck. Similar to her usual dress, she had a pretty deep cleavage and wore no brassiere under it. This kind of dress didn´t allow it and due to the cloth, it wasn´t necessary, everything important was covered. And even in case Astrea got cold, she didn´t have to fear people would see two spots.

Two additional parts wrapped slightly around her upper arms, where she also had a golden bracelet on each side. Her back, shoulders, and the rest of her arms were free. Around her neck, she wore a pearl necklace with a golden emerald in the middle. In each of the pearls was the starting letter of the names of one of her followers engraved. Astrea´s hair was open, this way she liked it the most.

"Hah, she really is a goddess."

"So pretty."

"Beautiful."

"Pure."

"Elegant!"

"Graceful!"

Her followers kept praising her, everyone except for Bell was in the room. All of them wore their normal clothes, except for Chloe, who wore her maid outfit and had a big bag in her hands. She actually started to like this maid outfit, it let her look elegant and special.

"Ehehe~~ You flatter me too much, I´m going to get red."

A knock came from the door.

Alise smiled. "It looks like your ride is here, Lady Astrea."

The goddess smiled brightly when Chloe went to the door and opened it. All of them, even Haruhime, gasped when they saw who stood behind the front door.

It was a prince.

A prince named Bell Cranel.

Well in a way, Bell was a prince. The uncrowned Prince of Orario, due to his heritage.

Bell wore a beige-white colored suit, with fitting shoes. There was a black vest with golden edges under his open jacket with golden cuffs. And around his shoulders was a long, golden cape, with a star pattern on the outside, and indigo colored on the inside, to match Astrea´s eyes.

More than one of the women fell in love with Bell again right this moment.

Including Astrea.

The cheeks of the goddess got quite red when Bell bowed down in front of her, offering her his left hand, the right was placed on his back, pulling the cape slightly to the side. To her great luck, since Chloe waited outside with the bag in her hands, she was able to look without problems at Bell´s butt in the suit. And what a butt this was...dreamlike.

"Milady, would you grant me the honor to accompany you to the banquet tonight?"

Astrea smiled, deeply in love, and placed her right hand in an elegant way on Bell´s left. When they turned to the carriage, Chloe already waited there, with the door opened, and the bag placed at the backside of the carriage.

The Goddess´ eyes got big when she saw the carriage. Bell really went all out with it, this carriage was the only of its kind in all of Orario.

It looked like a giant pumpkin and was drawn by four white horses. The driver of the carriage wore a deep blue costume, in a color that he wouldn´t draw any attention.

"Oh, Bell. This looks wonderful.~~"

"Only the best for you, my Goddess."

Then he whispered.

"My love."

The Goddess of Justice got even red but very happy. Bell led her carefully to the carriage, where Chloe waited with closed eyes, slightly bowed forward, and the open door. He offered Astrea his hand and she carefully went into the carriage, then Bell followed and Chloe closed the door. The coachman snapped the reins once and the carriage began to move gently, as soon as he knew that both were sitting.

The Astrea familia waved.

"Have a nice evening!"

"Have fun!"

"Take care of our Lady, Bell!"

They saw Astrea´s hand coming out of the window of the carriage, she waved to them, and then the hand vanished again.

Alise looked to their maid. "Chloe, the bag is safe?"

"Yes, it is."

"Hehe, good. Then let us all get our stuff and let's go. We will have a nice evening too and won´t come back until late at night! So that Lady Astrea and Bell have the house for themself when they return."

Chloe didn´t need to ask why, she had noticed pretty fast that the goddess was in love with Bell too.

Some time alone would be very nice for her, so they could cuddle in the living room or do whatever they wanted with each other. By herself, Chloe was very impressed that Bell managed to win the heart of a Goddes...a virgin Goddess!

.

.

.

The carriage moved very softly, the suspension of the wheels was perfect, and the velvet seats were incredibly soft!

"Hah~~ This feels so nice. Ehehe~~ I almost feel like a princess."

Bell smiled. "To me, you are a goddess, Astrea."

"Mouh, you´re making me blush on purpose again, Bell."

"I would never dare. Well...maybe a little."

They sat next to each other, holding both hands, Astrea leaned slightly towards Bell, letting her head rest on his shoulder. She glanced up to him with an innocent, pure look, obviously waiting for something.

"You look gorgeous, Astrea. So beautiful and loving, I doubt I can take my eyes off you even for a second this evening."

Her face lit up from happiness, but his compliment wasn´t what she was waiting for. She just tilted her face a tiny bit upwards.

Bell took the invite of her lips and kissed her gently.

The goddess sighed happily when his lips met her own, she knew that Bell told the driver to make a detour, so that they would take a bit longer. Spending some more time with Bell, cuddling and kissing in the carriage, was very nice. Carriage services like this were used to the whims of the gods, sometimes the gods who rented such an expensive carriage forgot the party completely and just kept driving around Orario.

And they got used to the fact that some gods did "things" while they were in the cover of the carriage, paying extra afterward to get it cleaned again. Not all of the drivers wanted to hear these sounds while they kept driving...at least they got paid extra.

Not that Bell nor Astrea would ever do something like that in a carriage.

She blinked up to him with the innocent gaze of a young maiden deeply in love.

"My Champion of Justice.~~"

"Now that I think about it..."

"Hm?"

He smiled amorous. "Tonight might be the night that the rumors so many gods share will turn out to be true."

"You mean that I have a lover?"

"And that I am this lover."

"Hm, let them know, I have no problem with this. Actually, I´m looking forward to it."

"Is that so?"

Astrea giggled. "I´m sorry, Bell. I can´t escape what I am. Even when I try not to, I´m also weak to gossip. And I´m looking forward to thanking Freya openly for her help, the tips she gave me."

"Why did she do that?"

"She is a Goddess of Love, it is in her nature."

"But isn´t Lady Ishtar also a Goddess of Love?"

"Well...there are different kinds...ahaha..."

"But..I don´t like to take them seriously...but I heard rumors..."

"About Freya?"

"Yes..."

"You mean that she takes things and mortals who interest her for herself?"

He nodded.

"I heard that too, in fact, I know that she did it. But...there is something very complicated in Freya. Please don´t ask me further, I don´t want to gossip about her, especially not when I have to thank her for so much. Maybe Demeter can tell you a bit, or Freya if you ask her."

"Maybe later, when we´re a bit tired from dancing. But first...there is something important to do."

"Hm?"

.

.

.

The gods loved their banquets, they called all kinds of parties banquets, even when most of them were different. And each time it was a different location, sometimes the home of a familia if that familia had a big home.

Depending on the location, some gods walked, especially those with poor familias, some came in expensive and extravagant carriages. But tonight not one carriage came even close to Astrea´s.

After all, renting this carriage for a complete night came at 500.000 Vals.

More than a few gods and their followers gasped when that beautiful carriage stopped and the door opened. Bell went out first, carefully he climbed down, fixed his cape, then he turned around and held up his hand. An elegant hand and a slender, mostly bare, arm appeared. The hand came to rest on Bell´s hand, and then Astrea carefully came out of the carriage.

Bell bowed slightly down while she made the step to the ground.

A few male gods mumbled.

"Is this...a goddess?!"

"A Goddess of Beauty?!"

"Kuh! I wish she would step on me, not the ground!"

The god who said that shrunk down when Bell turned his face in this direction, showing with his glare why he was called Juggernaut.

Then Bell looked to his goddess again.

"Shall we go, Milady?"

"Gladly, my Champion."

He offered her his elbow, Astrea gently hooked her arm with him, then put her left hand on top of his. On their way into the building, they saw another god with his follower, entering at almost the same time.

"Ah, Miach. Good evening."

"Good evening, Astrea."

The handsome god smiled. "You´re as beautiful as ever."

"Ehehe~~ Miach, I´m with a gentleman here tonight."

"I didn´t mean it as flirting."

The god nodded to Bell. "Bell, good evening."

"Good evening, Lord Miach."

Astrea smiled at the girl next to Miach, a young chienthrope, maybe around thirteen years old.

"And who is this young lady?"

The girl looked shyly to the side.

"This is Nahza, my new follower, she joined the familia a month ago."

Astrea smiled. "Then be very welcome here, young Nahza. I hope Miach treats you well."

Nahza nodded. "Lord Miach is kind..."

"That´s good. I hope you don´t take risks in the dungeon?"

Nahza slightly shook her head. "Lord Miach told us, no matter how little money we make, as long as we all return safely from the dungeon, we´re the richest familia in Orario..."

"These are wise words."

Nahza´s eyes wandered to Bell. "You´re...the Juggernaut?..."

"I am, Lady Nahza."

"Lady?!"

Miach smiled and gently put his arm around Nahza, which let her blush heavily. "Now, now, Bell. No flirting with my cute Nahza."

"I didn´t intend to do that, Lord Miach."

"Maybe, but I know how...attracted..women are to you."

Astrea put her hand on Bell´s again. "But tonight Bell is here with me."

While they walked, Miach smiled. "So you intend to show it openly tonight?"

"Why not, I have nothing to hide."

Nahza wanted to ask what they meant, but when she saw how Astrea looked at Bell, it got obvious. This was not a goddess looking at her follower!

The goddess just waited long enough for them to enter the main hall, then she couldn´t hold herself back. Whenever another group arrived, some gods looked up to the entrance to see who it was, and what that person would wear that night. Astrea didn´t mean to show off with Bell, but she still kissed him the moment they entered. More than a few gasps came from the main place.

Nahza got extremly red. "I-Is this normal when entering a party of the gods? A-Am I supposed to k-k-kiss you too now, Lord Miach?..."

"Ehe, don´t worry, this isn´t the norm."

"G-Good."

While Nahza only became his follower for a month now, the young teenage Chientrope developed a huge crush on her god. But then again many women did that.

Her dog-like ears twitched when she heard shouts from the main floor.

"WHAT?!"

"No way?!"

"It´s true?!"

"So Astrea does have a lover?!"

"I, Ganesha, am shocked!"

Arm in arm, Bell and Astrea went down the stairs. To avoid getting pulled into the tumult, Miach led Nahza to the side, where the food and drinks were. Their familia wasn´t that poor, after all a certain incident didn´t happen so far, but they still decided to eat their fill on that evening. After all, Miach told Nahza not to forget that she was a growing girl.

One of the first to greet them was a pretty displeased-looking Artemis, she was accompanied by a blond elf.

"Astrea."

"Good evening, Artemis."

The blue-haired goddess looked from Astrea to Bell and wrinkled her nose. "Juggernaut."

"I wish you a good evening, Lady Artemis."

"Hmpf."

Astrea giggled. "Please don´t be too mad, Artemis."

"You are a virgin goddess too."

"But not one of your "special club", I never swore not to love someone. I just didn´t find someone so far."

"And yet he corrupted you enough that you do something like that in public."

"Artemis...without love, new life wouldn´t get born."

The Goddess of the Hunt didn´t say anything to that.

"Come, Lante, I don´t want to spend time close to a man..."

"As you wish, Lady Artemis."

The elf bowed slightly towards Astrea and Bell before she followed her goddess.

Bell frowned slightly. "Does she dislike men that much? She was quite rude towards you."

Astrea slightly shook her head. "It´s just in her nature, Artemis can´t help what she is, we gods change only slowly if we change at all. I´m not mad, for her what we did was quite shameless."

Then it was better that Artemis didn´t know the other things that Bell and Astrea did...

"I just hope that one day Artemis will find a nice, handsome man, who will change her in the same way as you changed me."

Bell looked in Artemis´ direction, she turned her head for a moment in their direction.

For a few seconds that felt like an eternity, both looked into each other's eyes, before the goddess turned away again.

Then Bell heard soft laughter and cries.

He turned to Astrea again and saw a bunch of crying male gods, as well as the goddesses Freya, Hephaistos, and Demeter, together with a follower each.

The male gods cried directly in Bell´s direction.

"Juggernaut! You traitor!"

"Fiend!"

"Charmer of women!"

"How did you manage to woo Astrea, if none of us ever managed to do it?!"

""""Tell us your secret!""""

He startled slightly backward, then he steeled himself.

"I would appreciate it if you wouldn´t talk about Astre-..Lady Astrea in that way."

""""*Gasp* He just wanted to say her name!""""

"Yes it is true, I love her, from the bottom of my heart. She is more than just my beloved goddess. But I will get angry if you talk about her like a trophy!"

""""Hiiiii!""""

The male gods just remembered that Bell alone was strong enough to destroy all of their familias. They fled and looked somewhere else to have fun. Their sighing followers went after their gods.

Other male gods who wanted to come too at first, turned away.

"Ehehe~~~Ahahahaha!"

Bell blinked when he heard truly beautiful laughter behind him. It was Freya, she had placed a hand on her stomach and was laughing loudly.

"Ahahah!~~~ Oh how wonderful!~~~ Congratulations, Astrea. It looks like you finally found a man, and the perfect bodyguard for you as well."

"Hah, not you too, Freya."

"Oh, I´m not teasing you. I´m genuinely happy, believe me. It is quite a refreshing sight to see. And I have to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"Mhm! Because of you, all the guys will leave me alone tonight, at least as long as I stay close to you and Juggernaut is still glaring daggers like this."

Bell looked a bit embarrassed.

Demeter chuckled too, Hephaistos shook her head but smiled.

Astrea smiled. "Well, I didn´t mean to show off."

"But you sure as heaven did."

"I can´t change it now."

Curious, Bell looked at the followers of the three goddesses. Hephaistos´ follower was a teenage boy, maybe around fifteen, with hair of a similar red to her. He looked like he wasn´t feeling well in this environment, and was a bit grumpy.

Hephaistos smiled. "This is Welf, the newest member of my familia. He is a bit shy."

It looked like he was not only shy, but with an adventurer´s perception, it was easy to see that Welf probably had a not-so-nice past.

Demeter was accompanied by a young, adult woman. Bell already knew who this was, many people in Orario did. Persephone, her captain.

And Freya...her companion had also red hair.

Freya was so busy with chuckling and laughing, that she didn´t notice how Bell´s and Heith´s eyes met until it was too late. And when she noticed it, her heart almost stopped.

Heith´s soul orb was pulsing in a special way.

Oh dear heavens, no!

She looked almost shy at Bell!

Bell bowed in front of Heith. "Lady Velvet, I wish you a good evening. And I would like to thank you again for your help that day."

"G-Good evening, it was Lady Freya who sent me to help you."

"But you were the one who healed me."

Astrea nodded. "I would like to thank you too, young Heith."

The young woman looked a bit flustered...and not because Astrea thanked her. Freya groaned in her mind, while it was amusing without end that Bell managed to get into Astrea´s heart...and her bed...Freya got a bit worried because of Heith. She saw that the young woman was torn, on one hand, she had sworn her loyalty and love to Freya. On the other hand...she got a crush on Bell.

Because he was the only nice and decent guy that Heith met ever since she came to Orario!

Normally Freya enjoyed what Bell did very much, often enough she spied on him with her mirror.

He was a beast...

Even started to get it on with Hephaistos´ captain.

I will not allow you to steal my precious Heith away from me...

That to say, Freya was really interested in Bell herself, maybe letting him meet Syr was a good idea? Then again when it happened at the pub, Anya would see him. And Freya couldn´t tell what would happen then! Or even Mia! Since this young man wasn´t stopping for anything!

Kuh...I have to watch him closely.

Freya had a few ideas, and every single one of them would "backfire" in a way since she would only make things "worse" for her beauties.

Now Demeter smiled at Bell.

"I have to thank you, Bell."

"Why that, Lady Demeter?"

"Lunor told me you are treating her fair, polite,ly and with respect. She only complains a little."

"About something I did?"

Demeter shook her head. "Only that she is getting teased a little. And apparently "bullied" by the young Haruhime."

Astrea frowned. "Haruhime is an angel, she would never bully someone."

"Lunor said something about doing everything better than she does."

Now the Goddess of Justice giggled. "Well, she is giving her best. And I can say, that Lunor works hard and honestly. She also knows quite well how to give shoulder and back massages."

Demeter smiled. "Oh yes, she often did that for me, since my shoulders can get so stiff."

Persephone smiled wryly. "I wonder why..."

They chatted for a while longer, Freya kept a close eye on Heith´s soul, but she also noticed that Bell seemed to have an interest in her.

What a greedy man...

Not that she was entirely against it. There was only one person in all of Orario that Bell was strictly forbidden to ever put his hands on.

Horn.

If Horn would meet him, get charmed by him, maybe even share his bed...and become pregnant...it would ruin everything for Freya. Not that Horn would ever look at someone else, except for her goddess.

And in case he would get close to Anya...better not think about what Allen would do then.

They turned around when the music started to play, Astrea didn´t need to wait long for Bell´s reaction.

He bowed down in front of her, taking her right hand with his left, kissing the back of it.

"Milady, would you grant me the joy and privilege to dance with you?"

"Gladly, my Champion."

The first dance of the evening was more slow and elegant, Bell and Astrea really enjoyed their time. Freya occupied Heith, since no male god, except for Ganesha and Hermes, currently even dared to come close to them. Hephaistos giggled while she forced the young Welf to dance with her, he was more than just clumsy, but she didn´t mind.

Astrea lost herself in Bell´s eyes while they danced, it really was a wonderful evening.

.

.

.

Despite being a purer goddess, Astrea couldn´t help her nature. Originally she too came down to the surface to have fun, that was why they took the big bag with them.

It was time for a little play to take place.

.

It was a nice evening, the gods had a party as usual. Yet one single goddess sat alone on a couch, taking a sip from her drink, all alone, just quietly observing the ongoing party.

"Oh my, Milady, do you happen to be all alone on a nice evening like this one?"

She looked up, and a young man stood in front of her, wearing a fine suit, with white hair and red eyes. A mysterious man maybe? He wasn´t a god, but was a mortal, what would a mere mortal do at a party of the gods?

The goddess just looked up to him.

"Are you waiting for someone?"

She shook her head slightly.

"Then..."

He smirked and offered her his hand.

"How about a dance?"

The goddess said nothing, but after a moment she slowly raised her hand and put it on his, getting up to her feet. He led her to the dance floor, time would tell what this evening would bring.

She wore a dark blue dress, only reaching a bit below her knees. There was a long cut at the right side of the front, so when the goddess moved a bit quicker, most of her right leg would get shown, but not to the point where one could see her underwear.

The mysterious, white-haired man slowly walked backward with a rhythm, raising his free hand, which the goddess met with her hand. He raised his left hand further, the goddess held it with her right hand, let go of the other and slowly whirled around under his outstretched arm, before she ended behind him, putting her hand on his, which he pulled onto his chest. She made a slow sidestep, stretching out her left arm, looking at the mysterious man, then she made a step in front of him, his hands ended on her waist, she quickly turned one time completely in his hands, ended up standing in front of him. His right hand was halfway on her hip, halfway on her stomach, right above her crotch. The other rested on her ribs, right below her left breast.

A special music had started to play, Bell had requested it and paid a bit extra so they would give their all. The gods called this dance Tango.

.

.

.
Hephaistos stopped with a drink in her hand next to Freya.

"Are they dancing alone this time?"

Freya chuckled and sipped her drink. "They are playing."

"Playing?"

"The mysterious stranger."

"What´s that?"

Freya raised an eyebrow. "Never plaid it with one of your followers?"

"No..."

The Goddess of Love looked to the young Welf. "Watch closely young Welf, you might learn a thing or two about handling women or a goddess."

"Don´t put weird things into Welf´s head, he is too young for that."

"Oh please...they grow up so fast."

Freya was so amused and interested by the sight, and to tease Hephaistos a little, that she made one grave mistake.

She didn´t look in Heith´s direction, and the young woman got quite red cheeks by the dance she saw. Seeing Bell move and act like this, let her heart pound. Heith still didn´t understand why she was so interested in Bell, she never felt like this before. Well maybe a bit similar when it came to her goddess.

A part of her thought it would be nice if Bell looked into her eyes like he did right now with Astrea´s. Heith emptied her glass and watched fascinated.

.

.

.
Bell and Astrea made two swift steps in one direction, she turned quickly one time, and ended in his arms, their faces only centimeters apart, almost kissing.

Heith swallowed heavily when she saw that.

Bell´s left hand wandered from right above Astrea´s butt to her shoulder, they made another two steps, Astrea ended almost on her right knee, looking with a longing expression up to Bell, one of his hands on her chin. She got up to him again, his right arm around her waist, hand on the back, his left hand on her right ribs, the thumb just barely grazing the side of her breast, wandering up to her armpit, further up while she raised her right arm, so far that he could take her hand.

Heith´s eyes nearly popped out, and her heart raced.

Will they kiss? Right here?!

She could see how the fingers of Astrea´s right hand and Bell´s left slowly entangled, almost sensually. He slowly moved his right foot back, just as she moved her left forward. Then they moved with quick steps, matching the music perfectly, at first in one direction, then the other.

Heith saw that while Astrea´s left hand was on his right biceps, his right was halfway on her back. The way the lower part of her dress swung back and forth, revealing her legs when she moved was dreamlike.

The heart of the red-haired woman beat faster, it was as if Bell was a rock, and Astrea water. It was more her moving around him than both moving together. They of course did that, but when they stopped at a spot, Bell moved the goddess around him. Their movements were also very different, Astrea´s more flowing as if her body was indeed water.

And then the way Bell looked into Astrea´s eyes, his eyes halfway closed, the brows pulled a bit together, a sensual smirk on his lips.

Heith´s knees got weak...

All on Bell, the way he looked at Astrea, moved with her, and everything else spoke clearly.

I want you, you belong to me.

And the way Astrea looked at Bell, moved with and around him also said something clearly.

I belong to you, I will never look at another man this way.

Heith wasn´t long enough in Orario and Freya´s presence to have ever witnessed such a sensual, longing gaze. The dance was the most erotic thing she had ever seen in her life. It had an even bigger effect on her because she was only used to fighting in the baptism of Folkvangr at the moment.

No words fell between Bell and Astrea, they spoke with their eyes. And they told each other many things, with each tiny movement of their eyes.

When Astrea moved slightly back, Bell held her right hand, bowed halfway forward, and kissed the back of it. Almost shy, Astrea pulled her hand back, but Bell grabbed her wrist, smirked sensually at her, and pulled her close again.

He wouldn´t let her get away...

Both then moved backward, away from each other, Astrea turned towards Bell again and moved slowly with a sensual hip swing.

.

.
"The foreplay is over, now they will really do it."

Freya mumbled by herself, but Heith got deep red and her heart beat like the fists of Ottar.

D-D-Do what?!

.

.

Astrea made slow step after step, not taking her eyes off Bell. With each step, her hips swung in one direction. Then...she grabbed her dress at a certain spot and tore it apart. It was designed by Iska to split at this spot. Now the dress only went halfway down Astrea´s thighs, the torn part gathered on her left side, hanging low, ending at her ankles. She stood nearly on tiptoes, raising her right hand to Bell, using her index finger to lure him closer. Bell on the other hand took off his cape and jacket in one movement, throwing them over his right shoulder.

She swung the long part with a swift movement behind her, making a swift step, while he made an elegant, dandy-like move past her, both looking into each other's eyes. She put her right hand on his chest and they walked in circles, having only eyes for the ones of their partner. Both made a step away from each other, Bell swung his jacket and cape in a swift moment and tossed it to the side, Astrea moved her hands as if she got surprised and a bit startled.

Both moved almost too fast to see it right, but both ended with one knee bent forward, the other leg stretched out behind them, she leaned her head back, his right arm went around her upper body, the hand on her back, the left arm stretched to the ceiling. Both stood on their feet and moved in a circle again, facing each other, Astrea´s right hand held his right, and her left hand rested on his forearm, she whirled quickly two times around, and both went halfway down again, one knee bent, one leg stretched. When the hem of the dress moved up far enough, the slightest hint of her buttcheeks was visible, but Astrea wore something special under the dress, in the same black color, so no one could catch a good view.

This was only meant for Bell after all.

Both moved up slowly together, staring deep into the other´s eyes. Their foreheads leaned against each other, Bell´s right hand was on her back, around her hip, Astrea´s left behind his right shoulder, they moved in circles again. When they whirled around, Astrea moved only on her left foot, the right leg was curled around Bell´s hip, their crotches almost touched. When they came to a hold, Astrea´s left foot only touched the ground barely, the right leg hooked on his left leg, Bell held them both up easily. Then the goddess leaned so far back, Heith feared her back would break, and for a moment her eyes met with the goddess´. It was incredible to see how flexible Astrea´s body could move.

Bell pulled her up again, and their lips almost touched again. Astrea landed on her left foot, swinging the right leg behind her, then forward again. Step followed step, side to side, Bell raised his arm again, Astrea whirled around and ended in his arms, with her back touching his chest, her butt pressed against his crotch. They made a few steps to the side, his hands on her hips, then Astrea shortly stretched her right leg up and put it down again. Every male god who hoped to get a good view of her panties was disappointed. The very short black pants she wore over her panties made it impossible to see anything, Iska did great work to protect her goddess´ dignity. It was fascinating to watch how Astrea moved mostly on her tiptoes, she shook from one side to the other, whirled around, and made a step forward, facing away from Bell. He held her hand and pulled slightly, as if she tried to run away but he wouldn´t let her.

She turned around as if giving in to her fate. He turned away from her as if he would leave, with two quick steps she was behind him, putting her arms around him, her hands on his chest. He turned his face to the side, as did she. They both looked at each other passionately as her body pressed against his, her left leg slowly moving up his and hooking itself in front of him.

Astrea would neither escape him nor let him go.

She let go of him as he turned around, and made a few quick steps backward, while he walked towards her, she ended halfway knelt down, her knees not touching the ground, raising a hand as if to stop him, Bell pulled her up and whirled her around, so that she leaned backward with her flexible body again, her face hovering in front of his crotch for a second, before she went up again. He put a hand on her stomach, and pulled her close, her hands clasped together as if startled. With a sensual, passionate expression, Astrea put her hands on his and slowly moved them downwards, to her hips, then both moved forward again. They were moving so quickly and strong, that both sweat slightly. She moved forward again, he pulled her back with her hand. Astrea whirled around in Bell´s arms, her stomach pressed against him, while she leaned backward, a hand hovering close to her face. This position and her face said it all.

I´m all yours.

One last time she whirled away from him, then towards him, and jumped slightly up, both of her knees landed on his right thigh, then he lifted her far up, one of her legs stretched upwards.

In the end, she landed on her left knee, the right leg bent, his left leg bent, right stretched out behind, halfway hovering over her. Both staring into each other's eyes, almost kissing.

They had finished right when the music ended.

Both panted slightly from the dance, staring so deep into each other's eyes, that they were lost in their own world.

Then, Bell stole her lips. It wasn´t a gentle, shy, loving kiss. It was passionate, longing, hot, and sensual.

Heith couldn´t believe her eyes, to see such a kiss, she gulped heavily.

Freya smirked. "Hah, what a fine "former" virgin goddess."

Demeter chuckled. "Do you think they..."

"Oh absolutely, no doubt."

Hephaistos rolled her eyes. "You Goddesses of Fertility..."

Demeter protested. "Hey, my fertility aspect is about plants...mostly."

"Mhm, sure..."

Every man in the room understood the message clearly, Astrea was taken, forever. Many goddesses got weak knees too when they saw how Bell handled Astrea during the dance. Only Artemis looked very displeased, to see something that vulgar.

Now normal music was played again and others could dance too, Ganesha came to hand Bell his jacket and cape, he had caught it when Bell tossed it to the side. Astrea was glowing happily, smiling all over her face.

Freya smirked. "Heh, someone sure looks happy."

"I am!~~"

"Never thought you had it in you to dance like that."

"Oh, I love to dance!"

"Yeah, but..Tango? You?"

"Why not?" Astrea giggled, still sweating slightly.

There were a few things that Astrea really liked, but two of her favorite things were dancing...and martial arts.

Bell had to learn that the hard way after he joined the familia. Astrea had asked him if he would spar with her, but he wasn´t sure, since he didn´t want to hurt her. The others had said nothing but tried their best to hide their laughter.

He gulped when he saw his goddess in her training outfit, it let her stomach free, were basically short pants and a top to hold her chest. It was the first time he saw Astrea binding her hair up to a ponytail.

And then she...well she kicked his ass.

While not being a Goddess of War, Astrea was really good with a sword and in a fighting style the gods called wrestling, because it was her hobby. When she ran at him smiling, Bell was enchanted by her beauty for a second, and then she smashed with her full strength in a beautiful lariat into him, throwing him to the ground. When he got up, he felt Astrea hugging him from behind, he had squeaked and startled for a moment, still unused to women, since he felt two soft globes touching his back, then Astrea had done what the gods called a suplex.

The others had laughed when they saw what happened, except for Ryu, who looked a bit embarrassed.

It had ended with Astrea holding him in a lock on the ground, his face squashed between her heavenly thighs, his face so close to her holy place, while she held his left arm pulled up, the wrist caught in her valley. Astrea was the one who taught Ryu that shame and embarrassment had no place in a fight to the death. While it was only training, Astrea took her hobby very seriously, especially when she went up against such a strong level-four adventurer.

Bell´s major advantage would´ve been his high status, but Astrea´s advantage was that she was a woman, which Bell was very weak at that point in time.

Astrea took a big sip from her drink. "Haah~~ That felt good."

Hephaistos looked up and down at Astrea. "Do you think it is alright to show so much of your body?"

"Well, it is a tango dress, in my other I couldn´t dance like that. But I will go change soon."

Freya smirked. "With Bell´s help?"

"No, why?"

"Hah, you virgin goddesses. Have so needless erotic bodies and behavior, yet you can be so clueless and pure."

Astrea shook her head. "I understand completely what you meant, Freya. But I wouldn´t do these things here at a party."

The silver-haired goddess raised her eyebrow. "Oh please, it would´ve been less intimate and sensual if you had straight-up sex with Bell in front of everyone."

"Freya, could you not talk about these things in front of Welf?!" Hephaistos covered the ears of her follower.

Demeter chuckled with red cheeks. "I agree, see, even Persephone fled, pretending to get us some food."

Freya shrugged her shoulders. "Heith, does that bother you too?"

No answer came.

"Heith?"

Freya looked to her side, but Heith was gone.

"Where i-"

"She is over there."

Astrea nodded in a direction, Freya followed that direction with her eyes...and her heart almost stopped.

"Wh-When did this happen?!"

"Hm? Oh, when Bell and I returned, he asked her."

Heith was dancing with Bell, a slow, careful dance. He had taken the lead since she didn´t know how to dance. And Freya could see that Heith´s soul was getting off like a firework.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It was over, Heith didn´t have a crush anymore, she was in love!

While Astrea and Bell had fun at the party, the other members of the familia had a nice evening at first at the pub, later they would go to the public bath.

Asta was giggling for a while now, she got slightly drunk. By the amount of beer she had been drinking, most of the others would lie under the table now, but for a dwarf this was almost like water.

Haruhime only got juice and tea, as did Neze, she wouldn´t get drunk next to her adopted, little sister.

Noin grinned. "Asta, are you feeling hot? Your cheeks are quite red."

"Nah, I´m coal as a cucumber!"

A few of them groaned or rolled their eyes. Whenever Asta got a bit drunk, she started to talk in a certain way.

"Listen Haruhime, if you want to save money...beach rocks are cheap because they are always on shale."

"Huh?" The cute fox girl tilted her head in confusion.

Neze shook her head. "Don´t mind Asta.."

Alise laughed. "There Asta goes again. Hey Asta, isn´t it time to clean your room from your collection?"

Kaguya groaned. "Alise, don´t encourage her!"

Asta shrugged her shoulders. "What are you saying, Alise? My rock collection has a sedimental value."

As a dwarf, Asta always spoke in stone puns when she got drunk...

Ardee looked curious. "Aren´t you too interested in rocks?"

"I may be obsessed with rocks, but that´s my pre-rock-ative."

Kaguya groaned again. "I wish I didn´t hear you talking like that..."

"Well you know how they say, igneous is a bliss."

Asta raised her mug, looked deep into it, and smiled wryly.

"But yeah, it really has been a hard rock life for us so far."

Even more familia members groaned now, Haruhime giggled, for her it was quite funny.

"Haruhime."

"Y-Yes?"

"I go looking for gems this weekend, I might need your assi-stones."

Neze frowned. "You can´t take Haruhime into the dungeon."

The cute dwarfess just grinned and emptied her mug, waving to the brown-haired cat waitress to get another.

"Then maybe I could make a tour to the next volcano? It would really magma day."

More groaning from the others.

"Asta, stop!"

"My head hurts!"

"I can´t stand these puns!"

Asta grinned. "It sure takes a boulder person than you to take them."

The dwarf halfway emptied the next mug, and Haruhime wondered where all this liquid vanished.

"But to be honest, I had a rough day, but don´t want to chalk about it."

Even Ryu and Celty groaned now in pain.

Asta smiled wryly. "Hah, you elves...we sure had a rocky start together."

More groans followed, Asta wasn´t finished at all with her puns...

.

.
Late in the night, while the Astrea familia enjoyed the public bath, Bell and Astrea returned home. Since it got slightly chilly, Bell put his jacket and cape around Astrea´s shoulders.

"Hehe, thank you, my Champion.~~"

"Everything for you, Milady."

"Mh, the others will only be here in a few hours."

"Then, shall we take a bath?"

"Gladly~~~"

.

.

.
Bell locked the door after they had entered the bath, Astrea still needed a bit of time to prepare her heart...to see Bell naked again...and he saw her. Despite her flirty act at the party, and how often they made love so far, she was still a "pure" virgin goddess at heart. So Bell waited at the entrance and listened to the sound of the shower, while Astrea cleaned herself, then entered the bath. She waited there until Bell was finished with his shower too and walked to the giant bathing pool. Astrea didn´t look over her shoulder, her cheeks felt warm, she kept her eyes closed and sat in the warm water, sighing in joy.

"Ah...alive...again..."

Dancing so much was pretty exhausting, especially for her feet.

Small waves splashed against her when Bell stepped into the water, sitting down next to her. Having company in the bath for once wasn´t so bad...at least this special company.

"Mmmnh..."

Astrea rubbed her neck, it had become stiff, and she wondered why... She felt Bell moving closer to her.

"Shall I?"

"Please do..."

Astrea turned her back to Bell and waited for a moment until she felt his hands on her shoulders, the thumbs at her nape. A pleasant sigh escaped her lips when Bell gently started to move his hands and thumbs. Moving his thumbs around in small circles, gently rubbing her nape. Astrea had her hair pinned up, so Bell could see her backside well. In his eyes, Astrea was a real beauty, his eyes wandered slowly over her body. Beginning with the cheeks he loved so much, over her nape, her shoulders, and her back, down to her slender waist and those alluring hips...for now his eyes stopped before he looked at her butt.

"Nnnh...this feels...good..."

"I´m glad that you like it."

She let her head hang down a bit and just enjoyed the gentle massage.

His hands...truly are...magical...

Astrea couldn´t help but remember the first time she had felt his hands all over her body...the sensation she had felt back then...

"Astrea...I will touch your back now."

"Okay..."

She sat on her legs, leaned forward, and leaned with her crossed arms on the pool edge, her forehead resting on her arms. Slowly his hands wandered down to her shoulder blades...Bell loved to feel her smooth skin under his hands...and further downward. He had no lewd intent with that massage, only wanting Astrea to feel good. She shivered comfortably when his hands wandered down on her back, the fingers gently stroking her sides down to her waist. Right above her hips, his hands stopped and gently moved in circles, before moving up again.

Haaahn~~~

Astrea was in heaven...it felt really good. She opened her left eye and looked around...if she was right there was...there...in the corner. The bath of the Stardust Mansion included a massage table...Kaguya´s idea. It was often used...some of them loved to get massaged by Bell, or two Bells...or to massage him.

But lying down on a massage table...naked...that was...a bit...lewd...sometimes...

Bell seemed to notice her gaze. "Astrea...do you...want a full body...massage?"

"I ahm..." She really would like to...

"I do...but please...don´t stare...promise me?"

"I won´t."

She trusted Bell. Both slowly got out of the water and walked over to the table, Astrea couldn´t fight the urge to cover her chest and crotch with her hands...even though Bell had already seen her fully naked, much more than one time. She glanced shyly over her shoulder, Bell only looked at her face and smiled.

Hmmm...

Astrea lay down on the massage table, her chest was covered by the table..but her butt.

"Mh?" She felt something touching her, Bell had folded a towel and gently placed it on her butt, far enough down to cover her crotch from his view when he would stand behind her.

Ah...such a gentleman...

Now that all of her important parts were covered, Astrea could really enjoy the massage.

"Astrea, I will start with your feet."

He didn´t need to ask for permission to touch a specific body part, but he didn´t want to startle her. Gentle, very gentle he touched her right foot, it twitched for a moment because Astrea was ticklish.

"Sorry, I will try to be careful."

"It´s okay you Nnnnnn!"

She forgot what she wanted to say when Bell started to massage her foot...it was wonderful. He gently touched the back of her foot with his left hand, placing the knuckles of his right hand on the sole of her foot. He moved his right hand up and down, using his left thumb to adjust the strength, starting with the upper part and slowly moving down to her heel. Astrea exhaled in joy..he just started but she started to feel the muscles loosening...and Bell for his part enjoyed touching such soft feet. The rubbing of her sole continued for a while, and then he moved up and massaged every toe individually, he was careful but Astrea´s foot still twitched from time to time.

"Is the strength okay like this?"

"Mmmmh..."

Bell chuckled slightly, that should mean he could continue, he took his time to give her a good foot massage. Her breathing calmed down more and more...Astrea was slowly dozing off. After he was finished with her feet, Bell moved up to her ankle and lower leg.
Up to this day he couldn´t believe how smooth the skin of his goddess was, he admired every body part of Astrea, but especially her thighs. Bell wasn´t ashamed to admit...that he had a slight thigh fetish. Using his fingers and palms, Bell moved up and down on her lower leg, slowly moving upwards to her thigh...his favorite body part of every woman he loved.

Astrea sighed relaxed...barely awake. Bell stopped the movement of his hands a hand width before he would touch her butt. A few minutes later, he was done with her legs and made two steps forward. Astrea had stretched out her arms next to her body and felt the first gentle touch at her shoulder. Bell had stopped in front of her body and leaned forward, he couldn´t see it but Astrea was grateful for the slight sinking on the table to have room for her chest.
Bell admired the sight of her naked body, not out of a lewd intent...he just admired her beauty...Astrea´s body was like a piece of art.

"You are really beautiful...Astrea..."

"Shank you...Bell..."

He smiled when he only heard her mumble, she must have felt really relaxed. Bell didn´t know how good this felt for Astrea, her feet felt much better now, and the fact that the man she loved did it.

Without thinking, Astrea opened her right eye, she had tilted her head so that her face wouldn´t get pressed on the table. Due to her hair and him being leaned forward, Bell couldn´t see her right eye.

Eep!

Astrea had forgotten that Bell was naked too...his heroic sword was right in front of her face. Abashed, she closed her eyes again...that wasn´t something that belonged in front of the face of a goddess! At least that´s what she thought in the past...

But she couldn´t help but notice one thing...Bell wasn´t...excited.

So he really does that...without any lewd thought...

That made Astrea really happy...that Bell could look at her naked body without having lewd thoughts.

Both enjoyed the time, for half an hour he continued to massage her body. At some point Astrea turned around, her eyes closed and let Bell touch her front. She was a bit nervous when he touched her breasts...but the massage there felt really good.

And since he massaged all of her body, Astrea sighed and even slightly moaned when he massaged her breasts and her mound. Bell knew exactly where she was weak.

.

.
"Bell...it is pretty late..."

After their bath and that wonderful massage, Astrea had put on the clothes she would use for the night.

She glanced at him over her shoulder, both were standing in her room, only a small green gem spent a little bit of light. Astrea raised her right arm to Bell and waited. With a smile, he walked to her and gently took her hand.

"Bell..."

"Astrea..."

The mood was perfect...her heart was ready...

Bell gently hugged Astrea from behind, the room was now completely dark, only moonlight fell through her window and the faint splash of the small magic item filled the room.

"Astrea...I love you..."

"Bell...I love you..."

She still looked over her shoulder at him when he leaned forward. Both closed their eyes and their lips met in a gentle touch.

Ah...bliss..

Oh, how she loved to feel his body pressed against her own, his hands wandering over her curves.

Admitting that thought made her happy...and ashamed...it was so lewd. They kept standing there and kissed gently. Astrea sighed when Bell´s hands moved slowly upwards...to the cords that held her nightgown.
A gentle shiver ran over her body when he pulled at the cords...the nightgown slipped down on her now naked body. Bell only wore his shorts, but they were soon gone too. In the moonlight they stood there naked and kept kissing, Astrea slowly turned around in Bell´s arms...feeling his rising excitement poking her.
Slowly and gently they moved backward until Astrea´s legs touched the edge of her bed. It was a very romantic scene how they slowly sank down on her bed. The kiss broke and both looked at each other, Bell noticed those two wonderful mounds in the moonlight, Astrea had one leg bent and smiled up to Bell.

"Bell...my Champion...come..."

"Astrea...my love..."

When they kissed again, Astrea sighed blissfully. Bell gently moved his hips forward, her lips kissed his tip before he gently entered her body.

Ah...ngh...ahn~~

Having Bell inside her...it was wonderful. His right hand wandered over her body, her waist, her breasts, and her hips...even shyly stroking her butt. Her left arm was around his neck, the other on his back, a very shy moan fled into the kiss when Bell started to move.

Mmmnhh...ah...

It felt wonderful...

Both remembered the first night they had after the "incident"...this now felt very similar. Astrea´s body groaned in joy.

Bell...I love you...

Bell slowly pulled his hips back and moved forward again, until his tip touched against her most sacred spot and both moaned into the kiss. For Astrea it felt even better than her first time with Bell...he was so gentle with her...and her body was so relaxed due to his massage earlier.

When they broke the kiss, Astrea hugged Bell more, silently moaning into his ear. The pleasure-filled sound she made...aroused Bell. He couldn´t stop himself when she turned her head slightly to the side...giving him access to her neck. Bell started to nibble on her neck, only leaving a small hickey, while he moved back and forth inside Astrea.
Her leg that was put around his waist twitched with his gentle movements, the toes of the other curled. It felt like her sacred spot was kissing his tip whenever he moved completely inside her.

This wasn´t lewd...not at all...Astrea loved it...she loved Bell...what they did...didn´t deserve to be called sex...it was...making love. They kissed again and all fatigue that she had felt was forgotten. Bell´s presence, behavior, help, the massage...making love...all that helped Astrea to relax more and more...it was just great.

"Hah...hah...nnh...hah...aahn~~"

"Hah...nnh...As...hah...trea..."

She could feel him throb and pulse in her...she knew what that meant.

"Astrea...I..."

"Ehe...Bell...come..."

Astrea kissed him again...her own body wanted to feel her own release...but she wanted to feel it with Bell.

Her right hand let go of his back and grabbed the sheets under her, she felt the gentle touch...of his balls...touching her entrance.

Ah...Bell is...completely...inside me~~~

She opened her eyes, seeing Bell leaning over her...both looked into each other's eyes while they continued to move, the need for air demanded them to break the kiss.

Ah...we are...both...moaning...how...~l~e~w~d~~~

But it felt oh so good for her.

He moved slowly back, and a shudder ran down Astrea´s spine, just before it would leave her body, he moved forward again. Their foreheads touched the others, panting and silently moaning...just before it happened they kissed again with closed eyes.

Bell tensed up for a second, and then Astrea moaned loudly as she felt his hot semen splashing inside her. His tip was pressed against her most sacred spot...so everything went into her womb...where it belonged.

Aaaaaaahn!~~~~

Her own climax felt wonderful...she felt her body clenching around Bell...which let him only moan more. Their bodies twitched and shivered together...touching the other so much made this feeling only better.

"Hah~~~hah~~~hah~~~hah~~~ehe~~~"

Astrea smiled, feeling Bell´s sacred warmth inside her...was heavenly.

"Hah...hah...hah..."

He smiled lovingly down to her, then they kissed again. For him, being united with Astrea, releasing himself inside her, it felt too good. Astrea didn´t know when or how they moved around...but soon she was on top and straddled his waist. This position had felt so lewd for the innocent, pure goddess in the past...but now Astrea bent her legs so that she was basically kneeling over Bell´s hips.

"Bell...hold me..."

They touched the other's hands...slowly entangling one finger after the other.

Ha...holding hands like this...how wonderful.

Their hands were entangled...Bell leaned up and they met in another kiss...Astrea slowly started to move up and down.

Bell...

Astrea..

.

.
Hours later they lay down in the bed, snuggled up to each other.

Astrea was completely relaxed and happy, feeling Bell´s warmth in her womb.

"Bell...I love you..."

"Astrea...I love you..."

They kissed a last time, before slowly falling asleep.

A few day trips away from Orario, two Amazon twins were on their way to the big city, what would await them there?

Author´s Note: Hello everyone, I want to say thank you for the Reviews, especially the long one from Erebus.

Something else that got pointed out, yeah I made a mistake with Bell´s level, he leveled up later. This story isn´t that much about fighting, it is more about what Bell does with his lovers.

The next chap for this will be Ardee´s date with Bell, with Shakti making sure from the shadows that he treats her nicely (and no she won´t see them doing "that")
