Chapter 7
"An Old Man's Return"
(Does anyone actually think I own Danmachi?)
Bell and Aiz are out on the town when they decided to go eat at the Hostess, when they pass by the window they see a sign "Now Hiring!". They head in and are lead to a booth by Luniore . Aiz sits next to Bell in the booth and snuggles up next to him. Lunoire takes their order and heads back to the kitchen. Everything was going normally until the doors fly open."Hey! Has anyone seen a..." A tall man with white hair and a big white beard starts before trailing off. He sees who he is looking for and heads over.
'Hi Bell! I see you haven't been wasting anytime!" He says as he creepily eyes Aiz
"Grandpa?! I thought you died what are you doing here?"
"Sorry bout that boy. I had to disappear but, enough about me. How about you tell me about this harem you are working on. Seems like you got a pretty one here!" He says creepily staring at Aiz.
Aiz's fist start to clench in anger. Is this old pervert really Bell's Grandpa? She thought.
"Grandpa she is my only girl." Bell tries to explain
"Aww! Don't worry, I hear you grow faster then anybody. I am sure more girls will be coming any day now!" He says as he slaps Bell on the back and gives a big smile.
Aiz starts to clench her teeth.
"No you don't understand. She is the only girl I would ever want."
Aiz's heart starts melting, her fist relax and her face relaxes She can't stay mad when Bell is being so sweet but, she still doesn't like this "Grandpa" guy. Nonetheless, she snuggles into Bell even more. He was hers and ONLY hers, how could this old pervert not see that.
"You just haven't met the right girls yet. Every man dreams of a harem!" The old man says quite insistently but, Bell just shakes his head.
"So, which familia did you join? Did you pick one with a beautiful Goddess like Freya?" Zeus wasn't the most fond of Freya given everything but, he knew he would join her if he was an adventurer . She was the most beautiful lady on the planet after all, adding her to his harem was his ultimate goal.
"She died" Aiz speaks up for the first time giving the man a death stare while speaking matter of factly.
"We are in Loki familia " Bell answers
"Loki? We weren't on the best terms last time we met but, with you maybe it will be okay."
"You know Loki?"
"Bell I never told you this before but, it is part of the reason I had to disappear. I am actually the god Zeus. You were one of the few survivors after we tried to kill the Black Dragon so, I raised you as, my grandson. Loki was actually the one who chased the small remainder of my familia away so, I raised you as my own."
Bell was absolutely floored. This was so much to take in so quickly his face was losing all it's color in shock. That was when Aiz grabbed his hand to comfort him and started stroking the back of his hand with her thumb. This would be a lot for anyone.
"I am very sorry Bell." That was all Zeus could say. He had sent the boy's entire family to die. This is when Bell's and Aiz's food arrive. They eat it in relative silence. Zeus knows the boy has a lot to process. Once they were done Bell and Aiz left to head home but, they were followed by the old god. People on the street were shocked to see Zeus so much they barely even noticed the Sword Princess clinging to Bell's arm. That scene usually caused Bell to get jealous stares from every man in the entire area so, this was kind of nice for Bell and Aiz. It was like they were in their own world together. It was very comforting for Bell who was processing alot. His grandpa was back from the dead but, he was also lied to his entire life about his identity and how his parents died. He wasn't even sure how to feel about him anymore.
Aiz for her part had her hatred for the dragon even further solidified. It had not only killed her father and kidnapped her mother but, it had orphaned her love too. This also furthered her anger at the old pervy god, he not only was an weirdo trying to corrupt Bell but, got Bell's family killed too. Although, Aiz was less worried about all of that right now, she needed to make sure her bunny was okay and then she could deal with all those things that hurt him
When they finally got to the Manor Zeus was spotted from far away and was greeted by all the familia executives weapons drawn and Loki.
"What do you want, Zeus?" Loki ask surrounded by her familia leadership
"I am just making sure you are treating my Grandson right but, from the looks of all these girls it looks like he has it real nice."
"Grandson?"
"Bell's dad was in my familia and when things went bad, I raised him myself. Bell thought I was dead until today and didn't know who I really was so, dont blame the boy."
"Is dat true Bell?"
"Yes he did raise me."
"Well I guess ya can come on in then."
The executives put up their weapons and head to the living room to talk to the old man. They all take their seats and Aiz takes Bell's lap for a chair.
"Aiz!?" Bell said confusedly starting to blush. She had never done this before.
"What? There was nowhere to sit."
"There's literally a chair right there." Bell points right next to him at an empty chair
"This is more comfortable." She says giving Bell a cute smirk that Bell couldn't refuse. Plus, Bell decided having Aiz on his lap wasnt so bad so he just accepted it despite the looks of a jealous Wolf.
"All these beautiful women and you are only interested in THAT one? I think I like these Amazons much more." Zeus says rudely. Then he goes to touch Tione's leg before having it smacked away.
"Those are the captains! No touching!" She exclaims.
Finn just facepalmed and shook his head.
Bell sighs "Yes, Grandpa I already told you. I am only interested in Aiz."
"Plus I think Aiz might kill us if, he was interested in anybody else." Tiona adds in what is meant as a joke without realizing how true her words are.
Zeus starts laughing "Ah, the possessive type, bad start to a harem my boy! Although I do think I see what you saw though." Zeus again creepily stares Aiz up and down.
Bell starts to shake his head when, Aiz suddenly pulls Bell to her chest holding him tight in a gesture that was like a little girl holding onto her doll to protect it from being taken.
"Shut up you old pervert! Bell is mine and only mine and I am his and only his and that is how it will always be so, shut up about this harem crap and stop looking at me like that!"Aiz yells in a hostile manner with a look that could kill. She had been getting alot of practice with that look lately and even the old God felt the danger in her aura. This shocked everyone, she was always a quiet doll. They knew she acted a little more emotional around Bell but this outburst would have seemed impossible just a few short months ago.
"Aw hunny don't worry" Zeus goes to pat her leg and Aiz let's Bell go and slaps his hand away. Bell's face was extremely red from what Aiz had just said and being held like that.
"Grandpa can you just stop already" Bell finally speaks up in an irritated voice
"I am just trying to make sure you get all the best in life my boy!"
"It doesn't get better then Aiz."
"Whatever boy, How about you come with me and I will show you how good it gets."
Bell sighed and looked at Aiz as if asking what to do..
"Just go with him Bell so, he will shut up." Aiz says.
"Good." Zeus says in a devious voice.
Bell and Zeus leave meanwhile Aiz excuses herself to her room.
She grabs a cloak to obscure her identity and goes to "keep an eye on Bell." It is as she is jumping from building top to building top she noticed they are heading towards the redlight district. She thinks about jumping down and dragging Bell back to the Manor but then she gets an idea. She just watches until she sees Bell and Zeus arguing. Aiz was happy Bell was refusing to go there. This is when Aiz makes her entrance, face obscured by her hood. She walks up to Bell and starts stroking his face. She was going to give him a test that he better pass!
"Looks like you already found a pretty one before you even got there. Good luck! I am heading in." Zeus says excitedly while handing Bell some Valis.
She starts running her fingers through his hair like she has seen the amazons do, when she came this way to her chamber. She then pulls Bell against her and the boy is struggling.
"How about you come with me?" Aiz says in her best seductive Amazonian accent. Bell pushes her away and runs off before Aiz pulls her hood off.
"It is just me Bell." She chases him down and grabs him.
"Oh thank god it is you. Amazons here are the worst!" Bell says with his face flushed
"Your adorable." Aiz says laughing then gives him a kiss "now go home."
"Aren't you coming with me?" Bell says with a bit of a pout
"I have to talk to a friend near by."
"Can't I come with you?"
"Actually I would prefer you not hang around here. I will be home in just a little bit, don't worry."
Bell reluctantly agrees and heads back to the Manor. It is just as soon as, Bell is out of sight she shoots away into the red light district with her hood back up. She couldn't afford to be seen here. Meanwhile Zeus has just entered the outside of the red light district, this is where the lower class brothels were. The best were near the middle so, Zeus was heading that way. He was about half way there when he was approached by a mysterious looking cloaked figure, who pushed herself up against him.
"Would you like to spend the night with me big guy?"
"Weren't you just with my grandson?"
"Oh! He was no fun but, I thought an older more experienced man like you might want to have some fun." She says stroking his face. Something about this seemed off to Zeus but, he wasn't going to be stupid like his grandson and reject her.
Zeus takes a step back eyeing the girl in her robe she has pulled tight to show her figure.
"I can't believe he turned down a girl like you... He really is an idiot."
That was when the hooded figure started pulling Zeus along. After a couple minutes he asked
"Where are we going?"
"To my special love chamber, it should be just around the corner here."
As, soon as the door closes the figure throws Zeus in a chair and starts tying him up. He doesn't resist and instead says.
"Damn your a kinky girl." With a big smile.
That is when Aiz throws off the hood and gives him a death glare that he doesn't even notice.
"Aiz!?! I think I am starting to see why my grandson is so into you."
This was when Aiz grabbed a sword that was lying around and stabbed it into the old man's groin. Zeus screams.
"You old horny pervert trying to corrupt my Bell and lead him away from me. This is your punishment."
She repeatedly stabs the sword into his groin over and over until it is obvious his manhood is nothing more then some shredded bits of skin.
"Your lucky I told Bell I would be right back or we would have to play alot longer." Aiz says before cutting off his foot at the ankle. Then she took off the cloak all the blood was on and made her leave. Zeus would bleed to death but it would take some time. Aiz's plan was to get back home before his beam went into the sky. This would give her an alibi for when he died, pushing the "godslayer" suspicions onto others. She makes sure to be careful and makes her escape without being seen. It was about an hour after she made it back to the Manor when the beam in the sky was seen.
A/N
Some guest left a review saying it was unrealistic for Aiz to beat Allen because he is stronger. I only wanted to ask if he had ever read the LNs or seen the show. Weaker people literally beat stronger people like non-stop. Bell repeatedly beats people entire levels above him. I don't think Aiz beating someone on her own level with a super tempest is that unrealistic at all. The strongest doesn't always win in real life or in this show. Hell, Bell beats an unbeatable monster and an unbeatable arena in one light novel, all on the edge of death so, that wasn't even nearing that level of plot armor. If he can get away with it, I can to.
