Bell and Ardee sat across from each other in the garden. They both sat with their legs crossed but Ardee rested her elbows on her legs and had her hands on her chin.
Bell was holding up his right hand which held a ball of light. Bell changed its shape from a ball to a small horse.
Ardee's eyes held nothing but excitement and wanderlust watching Bell. For those that knew Ardee, they knew how much she changed after the Dark Ages.
Yet Bell somehow seemed to bring back part of the old her. The one that Bell never knew but her friends did.
"Woah you have two magics! Do you have any more?" Ardee asked. Her face lit up like a Christmas tree.
Bell softly smiled and his eyes softened. "Well, I have quite a few. But I need to keep those a secret so people won't expect them."
"Can I see another one? Pretty please!" Ardee begged. Her eyes reminded Bell of a puppy's.
He felt like he had no defenses against someone like Ardee. She seemed so innocent despite what happened to her. Instead of filling with sadness and rage, she was still kind.
Of course, sadness was a part of her. Yet every time Bell had talked to her she seemed more shy than anything. It was like another version of Haruhime.
"Alright, I'll show you one more. But only one more ok. I need to keep some tricks up my sleeve." Bell acquiesced.
Ardee nodded, Bell's words seeming to go in one ear and out the other. She just wanted to see the cool magic as Bell handled it in a way she had never seen before.
Not even her sister could manipulate light magic to this degree. She could only turn it into a spear of a whip. But Bell was turning it into all types of things.
Bell already knew the other magic he was going to show Ardee. It wasn't going to be fire or lighting because they were in the middle of a garden and Bell didn't want to accidentally start a fire.
So he settled with using ice since it was just frozen water. Also because he could make sculptures out of it as well.
Taking a good look at Ardee and focusing Bell formed an ice cube on his hand before changing its shape and structure to make a miniature version of Ardee.
"Woah is that me!?" Ardee asked. Bell reached out and let her take the sculpture as she examined it. "Ooh, it's cold."
Bell just chuckled. "Well it's ice, of course, it would be cold."
Ardee pouted slightly. "Oh, I know that! But wow I can't believe you made a tiny sculpture of me. Sucks it's gonna melt though, I wanted to keep it."
Bell thought about using earth magic to make her a new one. But Astraea would probably get pretty pissed if he tore up her garden like that.
"Do you want a mini sculpture of yourself?" Bell asked, his eyebrow quirked.
Ardee shook her head. "No, it's because you made it. So it's like a little gift from a new friend." She cheerily replied.
Bell nodded along at Ardee's reasoning. But then part of him felt bad. Would she still want to be friends with him after she found everything out?
"Well, I'll see what I can do for ya," Bell responded. Would she want an earthier figurine? Or maybe he could carve one for her. But he'd have to know how to carve first.
"Oh, you don't have to do something like that for me." Ardee tried to protest. Bell simply smiled in response as her eyes told him a different story.
She wanted a mini figurine of herself from Bell.
"Like I said I'll see what I can do," Bell said again. Ardee still smiled and Bell had to admit it was a cute one.
"Ooh, you find her smile cute." Regis chimed in.
"Go away dog you're not even here."
"Oh alright, but Nazha wanted you to be back in time for dinner. So uh, do what you want I don't care."
Bell chuckled and shook his causing Ardee to tilt hers in confusion.
"What's so funny?" She asked.
"Just Regis talking to me. Don't worry I don't have to leave just yet." Bell answered.
Ardee nodded before pointing to Dawn's Ballad. "What's that, it looks like a black cane, but it's a rectangle."
Bell grew a giddy smile as he took Dawn's Ballad off his belt and unsheathed it. "It's a sword Welf made me. Pretty cool huh?"
He handed it to her but Ardee shook her head and pushed it back. "I don't want to hold it. Thanks for offering, and yeah it does look cool."
Bell assumed the reason she didn't want to hold it was because of what happened in the Dark Age. So he didn't push the issue and sheathed it once more.
"It's easy to use as well. It's lightweight and I mean really light. Like I'm holding air, and it's also really sharp and doesn't dull. Plus it can conduct my magic which makes fighting a lot easier. Oh, and I can-"
Ardee listened as Bell rambled on about his sword. Her smile grew slightly bigger from how passionate he seemed. She felt her cheeks warm slightly which surprised her.
Was it because of how easy and warm the atmosphere between them was?
"So yeah the sword's pretty cool. I'm really glad Welf made it for me." Bell finished. He attached it back to his belt and turned his attention back to Ardee.
"Well, that is a pretty cool sword. What'd you name it, also I thought you were trained in knives and archery?"
"I call the Sword Dawn's Ballad. It's based off Arthur Leywin's sword cause he's my favorite hero. Yes, I know that seems kind of dorky but it's cool, and I'm not only trained in knives and archery. My trainer taught me to use all types of weapons." Bell explained. He wasn't going to give the real reason for why it was called Dawn's Ballad.
Ardee's eyes seemed to light up, however. "Wait does this mean you like hero stories?!!" She squealed.
Bell leaned back a little. "Uh, yeah I do. Wait do you like them as well?!"
Ardee fiercely nodded. The most expressive Bell had ever seen her. "Yeah, I used to read them all the time! My favorite one is the Argonaut!"
Bell chuckled at the enthusiasm. Argonaut used to be his favorite too but as he grew older he began to like Epiphmeus more. The whole tragic hero thing always got to him. That's probably why Arthur became his favorite.
"That was my favorite when I was younger. You know my Grandpa used to have this really big book chock full of hero stories. He'd always used to read me some before bed."
A sad smile made its way onto Bell's lips. Ardee noticed this and grew slightly worried.
"Everything alright?" She asked.
Bell sniffled and nodded. "Yeah I'm fine, anyway I should probably get going. Nazha wants me back for dinner and she's kind of already annoyed with me."
Ardee furrowed her brow in confusion. "Why is she already annoyed with you?"
Bell pointed to where the hole on his arm used to be. "Minotaur, she wasn't happy about that injury."
Ardee nodded in understanding as Bell stood up and offered his hand to her. Ardee took his hand, noticing how rough it felt from a decade or so of hard training. Yet it didn't feel weird to her.
Bell helped her to her feet and smiled at her. "I enjoyed our conversation Ardee. I'll try and swing around some time so we can do it again. Or you could swing by the pharmacy, whatever works best for you."
Ardee shyly smiled and nodded. Her previous enthusiasm seemed to wane slightly. "I'd like that."
Bell gave her one last smile before turning on his heel and walking away. Ardee watched him leave, his back covered by his poncho facing her as he walked away.
"Bell!" She called out.
The boy stopped and turned his head. "Yes?"
Ardee gulped before forcing the words out. "Don't die." She pleaded.
Bell was slightly surprised by the plea. But pushed his surprise away and gave her a reassuring smile. "You don't need to worry about that. Regis won't let anything too bad happen to me."
That seemed to soothe Ardee's worries slightly as she gave Bell a small smile back. Not another word was said between the two as Bell made his way back to the pharmacy.
.
.
.
.
As Bell exited the Stardust garden he felt a strange sense of happiness. It was a type of warm feeling that he didn't feel often. It was very pleasant.
"Ooh, what happened?" Regis chimed in. His voice ringing out inside his head.
Bell just rolled his eyes. "Nothing happened, well not exactly. Ardee seemed to brighten up a lot around me. I don't know why but she's very fun to be around."
"Maybe she's like that with you since you find her pretty." Regis teased, referring to the first time he had met Ardee.
Bell just shook his head. "It can't just be that. I don't really know how to describe it. But I feel like there's a connection between us. But not some soulmate type of thing, ya know what I mean?"
"Oh god don't tell me you're going down a kindred souls route." Regis groaned. "Oh my dear we're two kindred souls in a world against us. Let's run away and be together."
Bell chuckled as he turned down an alley. "No, it's nothing like that. I don't know it's kind of like Haruhime. I just feel like I need to protect her ya know. Or maybe with her, it's guilt and I want to earn redemption? I'm not sure I know the answer."
Bell heard Regis sigh. "Bell the Dark Age isn't your fault. You were merely a child when it happened. You also had no idea about it until you were like 12. There's nothing you could've done."
"Still...Alfia used me as her excuse to be one of the leading causes of it. I may have accepted what she did and let it be forgiven. But that was before I met people directly affected by it, now I'm not sure how to feel."
"Well, it's best not to beat yourself up about it. You'll just run into a never-ending pit of self-pity and loathing."
Bell sighed exiting the alley. "Yeah, maybe you're right. Still, though, Ardee's a kind person. I want to make sure she stays that way."
"How noble, now hurry back for dinner. Nazha wants you back now."
With that, the conversation ended as Bell began to walk down the street. However, something felt off, where were all the people?
It wasn't some back street but a main one. Yet it was empty. No vendors closing up their stands for the day. No bystanders walking about going on their busy.
Empty.
Bell felt the air grow still around him. Something was watching him. Someone was watching him, multiple someone's
Bell reached for Dawn's Ballad and rested his hand on the handle. His eyes narrowed and focused while he waited.
"Regis, make sure everyone at the Pharmacy is safe. I'll make my way back once everything is taken care of on my end." Bell warned.
"Got it, not a single unfriendly soul will get past me."
Silence once more as Bell simply waited for what was about to happen. He reinforced his body with mana and activated his lighting magic in his legs for even more speed.
Seconds passed and nothing happened but Bell still waited, and waited, and waited.
It was then he heard a whistling in the air coming from behind him. Bell was quick to unsheathe Dawn's Ballad and spin on his heel. He cut the arrow in half before spinning around once more and shot a ball of fire into an axe-welding man.
Since the man was in the air and jumping toward him the fireball stopped all momentum and he crashed onto the ground.
Bell was quick to cut another arrow in half as he jumped back from getting hit by a Warhammer. The ground shattered beneath it causing a large indent in the stone.
But Bell was relatively unscathed. However, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up causing him to duck.
The blade of a short sword flew over his head. However, since he ducked the user had overstepped leaving him off balance.
Bell grabbed his arm and using his newfound strength threw him over his shoulder. The man went flying and landed with a thud on the street.
Bell stood back up and felt a thud hit his shoulder. He quickly glanced back and saw an arrow clatter to the ground behind him.
Bell couldn't focus on why it did that as he used earth magic to push up into the air and onto the roof with the archer.
The woman's eyes widened in shock seeing what had happened. She was dressed in a black leather gambeson with a plate half-plate helmet covering her eyes. Her pants were black along with her gloves and arm-guards.
Bell didn't stop to care enough, however. His foot shot out and kicked the side of her knee. She yelled out in pain as her foot slipped out from under her.
She was about to fall off the roof but Bell grabbed the back of her neck and sent a shock of lightning throughout her body.
Her nerves immediately locked up and the woman became paralyzed. Bell just dropped her on the roof and turned his gaze to the other three who were attacking him.
They were dressed much better same as the archer. However, their gear didn't seem to be in poor condition or quality. Nor were they expertly made either.
It seemed to be a basic armor yet used by anyone else in the familia. It was then Bell's eyes landed on the crest on their chests and his eyes widened.
These were Freya familia members. At least those at the bottom of the ladder. Level ones, maybe a level two. But nothing higher than that.
"Hmm, either this is a test. Or these people are jealous." Bell thought jumping off the roof. He landed swiftly on his feet as the other Freya members picked themselves up.
"You're already using three magics. Don't use anymore. Any more and you'll draw more suspicion. This isn't like Monsterphelia where no one's around."
No words were exchanged as Bell started running forward. He knew there was no reasoning with these types of people.
Bell appeared before them in an instant. His level-up was granting him newfound strength. Making him faster and stronger than his attackers.
Bell's knee met someone's face. He felt their nose crack as they fell to the ground. Bell landed and rolled then shot to his feet.
His hand was already raised a lightning whip formed in his hand. He raised it and flicked his wrist sending a vibration through it.
It hit both Freya familia members in the chin causing slight burns and forcing them back. Bell took this opportunity to curb stomp the one of the ground.
The man Bell had shot a fireball into immediately went into unconsciousness. Now that he was taken care of Bell only had two more assailants to deal with.
Bell raised his hand and shot a bolt of lightning from it. It impacted the man with the Warhammer in the chest melting his leather armor and sending him flying back.
His body froze up as all his nerves seized movement. Bell then turned his attention to the one with the short sword and with a simple thought trapped him in a prison of earth.
His short sword clattered to the ground and he tried to break free but his struggles were useless. Bell walked up to him and tapped Dawn's Ballad against the prison.
"Why'd you attack me?" He asked. His mind reminding him that his familia could be in danger.
The man pushed against the earth but again it didn't budge. He then looked up at Bell and his face turned into a snarl.
"Because you don't deserve Lady Freya's love!" He growled spit dripping onto his jaw. Such venom from his voice was expected of a Freya devotee.
But it only further proved Bell's know fact that Freya was after him.
"So you attack me because you're jealous? Fine if you care about Freya so much let her know this. I don't care for her love, and if any of you try to attack me or anyone I care about again you won't be dealing with just me." Bell warned. His voice was calm and even yet his mind was the opposite.
He sheathed Dawn's Ballad and took a look at his poncho. An arrow had hit him in the shoulder and he wanted to make sure there weren't any wounds.
Seeing not even a scratch on it Bell let out a sigh of relief. But then also grew to wonder what the hell Alfia had made the poncho out of.
"No time for that. I need to get back home." Bell thought. Without another word, he took off running using mana and his lightning to go as fast as he could.
.
.
.
.
A minute later Bell arrived at the Blue Pharmacy panting. Not because he was out of breath but because he was scared.
Scared the attack on him was just a diversion and that his new friends were dead. He threw the door open only to see Regis sitting there with his head tilted.
"Woah, gust of wind blow you in?" The dog asked.
"I-Is everyone ok? Nothing happened?" Bell asked. His eyes shooting around the building looking for the tiniest thing out of place.
"Yeah everyone's fine. You're late for dinner by the way and Nazha is pissed." Regis teased.
"So no one came here? You didn't have to kill anyone?"
"Uh no? Why do you want me to? Cause I can make sure they don't find the body."
Bell shook his head and caught his breath. "N-no it's fine...I just...I'm glad everyone's alright."
"Alright well hurry up and go to dinner, Nazha made chicken."
Bell blinked and felt his heart slow down. His breathing was calm and he realized that his hands were shaking. Making them into fists Bell waited a few seconds before opening them again.
He let out one last sigh of relief before walking into the back. His familia was gathered around the dinner table with Nazha looming rather irate as the others enjoyed your meal.
"You're late." She growled, her finger tapping against the wood. However, her posture changed noticing the look Bell had in his eyes. "Everything alright Bell?" She asked softly.
Bell blinked again and shook his head. He pointed towards the outside and spoke. "I uh-I got attacked, and I didn't know if they came here."
Nazha was quick to shoot to her feet. Her hands grabbing Bell's shoulder and looking him over. "Are you ok?! You're not hurt anywhere are you?!"
"Who attacked you?! Tell me where they are and I'll teach em a lesson!" Aisha said. Her hands shaking with rage.
"Yeah! Any enemy of the bossman is gonna pay!" Lena added.
"Master Bell, are you ok?" Haruhime asked. Her tail wagging nervously back and forth.
Bell shakily nodded, starting to fully calm down now that his familia was safe. "Y-yeah I'm fine. Nearly took an arrow to the shoulder but my poncho stopped it"
"Ok but who attacked you?" Nazha asked. Her hands holding his shoulders gently.
"The Freya familia." Bell breathlessly said.
Miach quirked an eyebrow as the room went dead silent. So quiet that you could hear a pin drop and for Aisha, the only level three. The sounds of heartbeats.
"Hmm, and how high level were these attackers?" Miach asked, these being the first words he said since Bell's return.
"Levels ones, a few small fry that attacked out of jealousy. But I didn't know if they sent more people this way. Or how strong those people could be." Bell replied.
Miach merely nodded and stood up. "Alright you sit down and eat, rest. I'll take care of this, I believe it's just an isolated incident."
Bell's head shot to Miach, his eyes wide and filled with apprehension. "But what if you get hurt?"
Miach gently smiled and guided Bell down to his seat. "I'll be fine, you just wait here and give your accounts to the inevitable Ganesha familia visit we'll get. Let your god handle this Bell."
"He'll be ok Bell. Freya's lot might be crazy but they won't be crazy enough to kill a god as well known and liked as Miach." Nazha reassured.
Bell clenched his fists but nodded nonetheless. "Alright, I'll stay here and give my statement," Bell said.
Miach still smiled. "Good, Nazha make sure he eats. The rest do you enjoy dinner, I'll be back soon."
Miach made his way to the entrance and left the Blue Pharmacy. Once he was gone the familia tensely went back to eating dinner. Nazha handing Bell a plate filled with chicken and mashed potatoes.
"Regis, follow him and make sure he's safe. If you need to kill to do it. Do so, understand?"
"Aye aye, captain. Miach isn't getting hurt as long as I'm around."
Regis turned into his Will-O-Wisp form and phased through the wall without anyone noticing.
.
.
.
.
Miach walked down the streets of Orario with his hands behind his back. His gentle smile still hung on as face as he greeted bystanders who waved to him.
He was on a mission, however. A mission that would take him to the top of Babel Tower. Where the goddess Freya had her suite.
Nobody impeded his journey. Not even Shakti as she walked past him and toward the Blue Pharmacy.
After a few minutes, Miach arrived at the bottom of Babel Tower. To his expectation, Ottar, the captain of the Freya familia stood there. As if he was waiting for him.
"Good evening Ottar, I assume she's expecting me?" Miach asked.
Ottar gave him a slight bow. "She is Lord Miach, follow me."
The Boaz turned around and walked to the elevator. His stature towering over Miach but the guard wasn't scared in the slightest.
With both their backs turned Regis took this chance to turn into his Will-O-Wisp form and jump into Miach's body.
The medical god smiled and glanced down at his chest where Regis was currently waiting. Miach didn't say a word as he looked back up and watched as the elevator doors closed.
The ride up was quiet. Neither man said a word as the elevator climbed higher and higher, after a minute or so they reached the top and the elevator door dinged open.
Ottar stepped out first followed by Miach. They walked down the red carpet of Babel's top floor. The softness of it Miach could feel through his shoes.
After another minute the two arrived at an ornately carved wooden door. The carvings depicted acts of battle and those of sex.
Ottar stopped at the door and opened it. "She's inside." His gruff voice said. Yet still holding respect for Miach.
Miach smiled and gave a curtsy. "Thank you Ottar."
The god then walked in hearing the door shut behind him. Inside the room was a giant window looking down over Orario. In front of it a wooden chair with a small round table next to it.
Atop the table was a bottle of wine as well as a glass. This was all to Miach's right, to his left was a bookshelf filled with hundreds of books pressed up against the wall.
However, it was the bookcase Miach was focused on. Because by the door was Freya herself. Standing there almost as if she was waiting for him.
Miach kept his eyes away from her gaze. Something which Freya noticed and smiled.
Letting out a low chuckle Freya spoke. "Oh Miach dear, I won't charm you. No not after what happened today."
She walked back to her makeshift throne and grabbed her wine glass. The red liquid swished around in the cup before she took a sip.
"Yes, it would be quite distasteful if you did that. Especially after your children attacked one of mine in a fit of jealousy." Miach replied.
"Hmm yes, it's a shame they keep doing things like that. I turn my eyes away for just a second and poof. They run off to go and start trouble." Freya lazily waved her hand at the city down below as if to emphasize her point.
Miach still stood firm, however. Not allowing her charms to affect him in the slightest. "Yes well, we all know why these ones attacked him. The entertainment district made it clear what you intend for him."
Freya swirled her wine glass and hummed. "Hmm, I have no idea what you mean Miach. I was merely taking out the trash when it came to Ishtar. I do hope that he wasn't hurt by my children though."
"Quite the opposite in fact. He doesn't have a scratch on him. But a word of warning Freya, with Bell you're playing with fire. You should stop before you get burned."
Freya chuckled and set her glass down. "Oh, Miach that almost sounded like a threat. You aren't threatening me are you?"
Miach calmly shook his head. "No just a simple word of warning."
"Hmm well then, I'll keep that in mind. Now to help resolve the matter of earlier today I shall send over compensation. It shall arrive tomorrow morning."
"Then it looks like we're done here," Miach said.
With that, he turned on his heel and walked out the door. Ottar was waiting just outside standing guard and escorted Miach back to the elevator and to the first floor of Babel.
.
.
.
.
"So you were attacked by four members of the Freya familia on your way home from the Stardust Garden?" Shakti asked holding a notepad.
Bell nodded. "Yeah, I was just walking home and they tried to jump me."
Shakti wrote her notes before asking another question. "And why were you at the Stardust Garden?"
"There was something I needed to talk to Astraea about. Then I hung around there for a little bit talking with…a friend I think? I'm not that sure about our relationship when it comes to that."
Shakti nodded knowing he was referring to Ardee. "So you did your business there, then made your way home, got attacked, won the fight, and then came home? Is that correct?"
"Yes?" Bell answered.
"Why didn't you wait for the police to get there then? Why'd you run off?"
"Because I was worried they attacking my familia, and I didn't want them to get hurt."
Shakti nodded and finished her notes. "Alright, that's all I need to finish this. Should your god want to pursue compensation he is fully within his rights to do so. Since I have no more questions I will take my leave."
"Thanks, Shakti," Nazha said. The Ganesha captain gave Nazha a nod before exiting the shop.
Bell just leaned back in his chair and sighed. "I haven't even reported my level up and trouble is already coming my way."
Nazha just patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry so much. I'm sure this is just an isolated incident."
The rest of the room was quiet as Nazha had sent everyone off to bed. It was just her and Bell sitting in the dining room.
"Yet I feel like this is just the beginning."
Nazha rubbed his shoulder. "Yeah it probably is, but Freya does have her eyes on you. Then we'll face it as a familia."
Bell snorted as Miach arrived back at the pharmacy. Regis was quick to hop out of him much to Nazha's surprise.
"I thought you went alone?"
"Looks like someone wanted to make sure I had a friend." Micah joked looking toward Bell.
"It didn't feel right letting you go alone. "Bell grumbled.
Miach ruffled his hair causing Bell's eyebrows to furrow. "Thanks for the guardian, now go get some rest. You have a big day tomorrow."
Bell nodded and made his way upstairs with Regis following. Once arriving at his room he just plopped onto his bed and sighed.
"Not the day you expected to have, huh?" Regis asked.
Bell shook his head. "Nope, I thought all the excitement would end with the Minotaur today."
"And instead it ended with Freya! Oh, I bet she's so delighted right now!"
Bell lifted his head slightly and glared at Regis. The dog just rolled his eyes. "Oh calm down, the familia didn't get hurt and neither did you. Freya's paying us back in some way and is in a little trouble. All in all, this is a win."
Bell's face plopped back down and he sighed. "Yeah, I guess."
Regis just groaned. "Alright, out with it. Come on tell me what's wrong."
Bell was quiet for a moment as he took a deep breath. "It's just that…when fighting those guys I felt scared. Not for myself but for everyone else. I don't like this feeling."
"What being scared? Everyone gets scared, hell you were scared of a make-believe monster that lived in the garden for years."
Bell lifted his head. "Yeah, but this was different! I felt like I was about to lose someone I cared about. I felt like I was going to fail someone again."
Bell plopped his face back down into his mattress. Regis sighed as he understood Bell more now.
He trotted up closer to Bell and laid next to him, his snout nudging Bell's side. Bell looked up and cracked an eye open.
"You weren't going to fail them. You told me to protect them if trouble came our way and you know that nothing here can hurt me. So there wasn't a need for worry."
Bell sighed. "I know, I just…I don't know why I got so worked up."
"It's because you care, I mean if you didn't you wouldn't have rushed into the Pleasure District to save Haruhime and Aisha. Nor would you make a promise to Ardee to make her a little figurine of herself."
Bell chuckled before sitting up and taking Dawn's Ballad and dagger off his belt. He set Dawn's Ballad against his bed and put his knife under his pillow.
"Which brings us to our next topic of discussion," Regis said.
"Who gave the material and blueprints needed for Welf to make this?"
"It would have to be an Asura. The material needed for the sword only grows in Ephetous, their homeland-
"Meaning we or I have an Asuran backer." Bell finished. "Any idea who?"
Regis shook his head. "Nope, we haven't heard a word from them since you were seven. Quite the mystery we have here."
"So no leads and no main suspects. This is going to be hard."
"That's-
"Don't even start."
Regis shut his mouth as Bell laid back down on his bed. "I think I'm going to get some sleep, Miach's right tomorrow is when everything changes, for good."
.
.
.
.
The next morning Bell and Regis made their way to the guild. Bell was a little nervous but after talking with Regis about it some more steeled his nerves.
They entered in the early morning hours meaning not many adventurers were around. The two looked around the guild and spotted Eina at her desk.
Bell took a deep breath before approaching her, the half-elf smiling at him as he approached. "Good morning Bell, how can I help you today?"
"Morning Eina, I'm uh…I'm here to report my Level up."
Eina blinked and the space around her went quiet. Only for her to break that quite a second later. "YOU WHAT?!!"
Well, another chapter comes to a close. And I bet you thought you'd have to wait a while for another one.
Anyway, Bell and Ardee got even closer but then he got attacked on his way him by some jealous Freya people.
Bell felt fear, Miach became a pissed-off dad and the world kept spinning. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you later.
