If dying of embarrassment was a thing, Eina Tulle would fit right in with her situation. She was here at the beach with the aid of the entire Hestia Familia along with Amid and Misha for this attempt to rid of this horrible curse. She wanted to die right now as her elven pride and purity was being tarnished by the effects of this curse as she needed to be…lovey-dovey will Bell, her adventurer she advises. Every action taken, every word spoken, every eye watching made her body burn with shame and embarrassment as she was forced into this situation.

She prayed that this would end soon. She just couldn't handle the six steps towards freedom from this curse. Being lovey-dovey (gods she downright loathes hearing that term now with how shameful she's forced to become) is exhausting her very soul.

"Eina-san seems down…Will she be alright?" Haruhime asked with concern for the half-elf.

"It's elven dignity and pride that's suffering for Ms. Tulle, Haruhime." Primo answered, knowing this from what Alicia was going on about for traditional elf standards when she visited Riveria for lessons. "If she could, she would give the ones responsible for her situation payback as retaliation. There's a few things that can truly anger an elf, even if they're half-elves." She began explaining as Haruhime nodded her head in understanding as Primo began to explain a bit more of elven culture to the Renard.

"I'm glad you came to help, Welf." Bell admitted, looking tired himself as Welf gave his friend a pat on the back.

"Romance is a difficult thing, even when it's pretending." Welf said, trying to reassure the Vice Captain. "Remember, in this situation you must make the first move Bell. Or else someone else will take it. Would you want that if it was the Captain or the Sword Princess?" the smith asked, causing Bell to freeze.

The Blazing Dawn turned to see Hakuno and Ais, both in elegant swimsuits making an elaborated sandcastle with Lili providing water to give the sand molding properties as their goddess Hestia was cooking up a barbeque for everyone. Somehow, the idea of someone making a move on either girl caused a sense of irritation to crawl underneath his skin. He was inexperienced in summer romance, but if this pretending can help Eina overcome the curse and give him lessons as he begins the steps of trying to date both girls, he needed to face this like the hero he's aspiring to be.

"What's the next step?" Bell asked as Amid procured the grimoire and examined the contents carefully.

"The 'Unpopular Goddess and her Amusing Familia' wanted a hot guy to seduce them." She answered immediately upon finding it.

"Wait, what?" Welf asked, flabbergasted by what he just heard.

"They wanted a popular guy to tell them "You're the only one I love"". She explained in detail before closing it. "So the plan is to have many girls flirt with Mr. Cranel, only for him to declare that Eina is the one he loves."

…

…

…

"…eh?" Bell said, looking absolutely lost.

"Well then," Hakuno said, brushing the sand off her legs as everyone looked to the Captain. "Rejoice, young man. Your wish for a harem has been granted." She deadpanned as a strange priest in a cassock overlapped behind her with an amused smile. Bell did not like the look of that sinister man even if it was nothing sort of a hallucination.

*Meanwhile in Chaldea*

"Gah!" Lucius cried out, jolting upwards as he looked around fervently.

"What is wrong child?" Romulus asked, eyeing his descendant's behavior.

"I felt as if I'm cheated on a moment I wanted by some damn rabbit. And I have a feeling who…" Lucius growled darkly, already feeling as if that rabbit boy he disciplined was taking something from him behind his back.

"You mean a normie NTRing you so bad you want him dead?" Edward Teach aka Blackbeard asked as he just overheard Lucius' situation.

The pirate ran for his life as demonic red lightning chased after him.

*Melen-Beach*

"Bell, over here! I can show you some of the more fun stuff we can do!" Hakuno said, tugging at Bell's arm as she tried to 'take' him away.

"Bell, come with me. I want to tell you how much you mean to me. Please, Bell?" Ais requested, hugging him from behind as her chest was pressed against his back.

"B-Bell-sama, I-I thought we c-could try having a nice cold drink together under the moon tonight." Haruhime stuttered shyly, tracing a finger over Bell's chest.

"Bell-sama, come with Lili! Lili wants to express how special Bell-sama is to Lili!" the Supporter exclaimed, pulling at a leg.

"Bell, why don't you leave these girls and spend your time with me?" Amid asked in a husky voice. Her acting flawless save for the hints of red in her cheeks for doing this embarrassing performance. She traced a finger under his chin as she placed her lips near his ear. "I promise that you'll have…a memorable night." She finished with a blow to his ear.

For Bell Cranel, this was the dream his grandfather had envisioned for him. Girls of all charming aspects regardless of race wanting him and only him. The boy's heartbeat reaching to the speed of a jackhammer as the blood surged up to his face. His entire face was a bright red, steam escaping from his ears as the young innocent rabbit was now a stuttering mess!

He was tempted, so tempted to give into the urges of his grandfather's suggestion to embrace the harem life if not for catching sight of a worried Eina. It snapped him back to reality, making the boy recalling the situation the half-elf was in. He came here to free her from the curse she's afflicted with. Was he going to let himself be swayed by the charms of lovely women when one is suffering by her lonesome? No! The hero overcame the allure of the harem and made his decision clear as day!

"Eina-san is the one I want…!"

You go, Bell Cranel!

Eina never felt so overwhelmed by the primal roar in Bell's voice as he made that declaration and her entire body rose in temperature. She never had a boy say that out loud to her…and in front of so many people. Welf gave a thumbs up and Hestia nodded her head in approval, both acting like proud parents. Primo was snickering at Eina's expense, because she knows the woman must be so embarrassed with this lovey-dovey situation.

Needless to say, the madness of the next few weeks has just barely begun!
