Empire Of Heroes: Fate X DanMachi
Chapter 9 - 09
After Lili's response, they will prepare to descend the |Dungeon|. Bell left Lili with all the potions he took with Miach for her to keep. Hestia was waiting for them to go out together.
(Bell): "[Goddess]?"
(Hestia): "What is it, Bell?"
(Bell): "Why don't we have a welcome party for Lili?"
(Saber): "Like the one you did for us?"
(Bell): "Yes."
(Caster): "Where do you plan to have this party, Master?" - Her eyes went cold when a thought crossed her mind.
(Bell): "I was thinking about the 'Hostess of Fertility'."
The weather was so cold that Lili was trying not to be there.
(Bell): "What's wrong?" - he asked a little indignantly.
Bell promised to have Syr in his harem, and he's just been saying hi to Syr for the past few days, and for the past two days he hasn't even been there because of the plan and preparations. He thought it would be good to kill two birds with one stone.
(Saber): "Umu! I think everything is fine." - she said a little friendly.
(Caster): "Yeah ..." - she had a defeat voice.
(Hestia): "Okay! On the way, stop by and see if you can get a reservation." - she said a little frustrated.
(Bell): "Right. And ..." - he looked at Lili who had already put the bag on her back.
Seeing Bell look at her once she was happy and a little nervous about what was to come. Shortly after, he faced the others.
(Bell): "I think we should tell Lili, since she's from [Family] now."
(Saber): "Umu! I don't see a problem."
(Caster): "I agree."
(Hestia): "Okay, you tell her, if I take too long I'll have problems." - she said as she left.
(Lili): "Tell me what, Master Bell?"
Bell chuckled, thinking about how to tell her.
(Bell): "Lili, what Level do you think Saber and Caster are at?"
That left her a little surprised, as it did not need the permission of the others, but she answered what she thought.
(Lili): "I think they are both at Level 4, almost going to Level 5."
(Saber): "Wrong."
(Caster): "We are both Level 1."
(Lili): "HAH ?! Are you kidding me?"
(Bell): "No, we're not Lili, they joined this [Family] a few days before we met ... and they have almost no status points."
(Lili): "Impossible! Lady Saber is so fast and strong and Lady Caster has powerful magic and no enchantment! There is no way that is possible!" - She said with a shocked expression as she looked at Saber and Caster.
Saber was finding that reaction from Lili very funny.
(Saber): "Lili, what race do you think we are?"
(Lili): "Race? Lady Saber is a [Human] and Lady Caster is a [Renard] ... isn't she?" - she asked for confirmation a little hesitantly.
(Caster): "Wrong, we are both [Spirits]."
(Lili): "[Spirits] ?! Are there [Spirits] who want to join a [Family]?" - she was already screaming.
(Bell): "Lili, do you know a [Spirits]?"
(Lili): "The owner of the store where I stayed is one, and he tries to avoid [Adventurers] as much as possible. But things are making sense ..."
(Saber): "When the Praetor found out about me, I thought he was going to pass out."
(Bell): "Anyway, the two are [Spirits] formed from legends of [Heroes]."
(Lili): "I didn't know it was possible."
(Caster): "But you need to understand something Lili, we are connected to this world thanks to Mestre, since we made a contract with him."
(Lili): "Is that why the titles for Master Bell?"
(Saber): "Umu!"
(Bell): "Well, since we explain things, let's get going before it's late. And Lili, this is a secret, you can't tell anyone, okay?"
(Lili): "Yes."
When the group left the church a thought crossed Bell's mind.
(Bell): "Caster, can you do that land remodeling thing now?"
(Caster): "I think it is better to put it off when the Master Level Up, as soon as you go up, before you ..." - she looked around and saw people nearby - "call more people to [Family] . "
(Bell): "Alright."
They followed the path and passed in front of the 'Hostess of Fertility', at the time Ryuu and the black-haired [Caith Sith] were outside.
(Bell): "Good morning!" - he greeted the two.
(Ryuu): "Mr. Cranel, good morning."
(Caith Sith): "Good morning. If you are looking for Syr, she is not, meow, she went shopping with Anya."
(Saber): "Actually, we came to see if we could make a reservation."
(Ryuu): "Are you planning to party?"
(Caster): "Yes, a welcome party for Lili in our [Family]." - She said pointing to the group's [Pallum].
Ryuu looked at her recognizing her, Lili even bowed her head in shame, but Ryuu didn't say anything, if she had been accepted into [Family] there was no problem.
(Ryuu): "We will talk to Mama Mia to make a reservation."
(Bell): "Thank you."
(Caith Sith): "I feel like there's something more there, meow."
Bell was a little nervous. Was that what they called female intuition?
(Caith Sith): "If you want to be pampered and your companions don't, let me pamper you in the place of Syr, meow." - she said this with the same smile of a child who got a new toy.
(Bell): "Huh ?!" - he was quite surprised by this direct she was giving.
For a moment he thought he would have a bloodbath on the spot. He felt a murderous aura coming from Saber, Caster and, for some reason, Lili. But this massacre was averted thanks to Ryuu. She took Caith Sith's shoulder and was dragging her inside.
(Ryuu): "Stop it, Chloe, or Syr and Mr. Cranel's companions will be irritated."
Bell was happy that Ryuu was concerned about the weather, although he thought the focus was on Syr.
(Chloe): "Noooo! I need to see better this imm.a.t.u.r.e and shapely treasure hidden under the back of those pants - GUFA!"
This last part was because Ryuu hit her on the head when she felt the bloodl.u.s.t of the women around Bell shooting.
(Ryuu): "I will tell Mama Mia and Syr about this. Good luck in |Dungeon|." - She said finishing dragging Chloe into the pub.
(Bell): "Thank you. We'll be back for the night then." - he said while pushing his companions who were still releasing a great thirst for blood.
After walking away from the pub a little, the three started to complain.
(Saber): "That woman has courage."
(Caster): "Unforgivable. If it weren't for Syr, we would never step on that place again."
(Lili): "Should we get rid of it?"
The conversation was taking a dangerous turn.
(Bell): "Calm down."
(Saber & Caster & Lili): "WE CAN'T!"
They were in |Dungeon| when they finally managed to calm down. The three were so irritated, that the formation for Bell to fight alone and get stronger went to the bag and Bell played the role of [Support]. They killed all the monsters they met up to the |Sixth Floor|, only at that time that Bell was able to talk.
(Bell): "Have you calmed down?"
(Saber): "Umu, I'm sorry, Praetor."
(Caster): "It should be the Master killing the monsters to get stronger, but instead we deal with everyone on the way."
(Lili): "Sorry."
(Bell): "It's okay, just avoid causing a fight there, okay?"
The three were thankful that Bell was so depressing.
(Caster): "Master..."
(Bell): "Yes?"
(Caster): "Are you planning to make that [Caith Sith] part of your harem?"
Bell blushed and Lili was interested in this conversation. Was Bell forming a harem? How did the others just accept it?
(Bell): "Are you going to ask me that every time I talk to a girl?"
(Caster): "I will." - Her eyes at that time were hurting Bell as if she were stabbing him.
Bell just didn't know how to react to that answer, but he spoke what was on his mind.
(Bell): "First, you would have to agree with the person who is going to enter, and second they would have to agree to be part of it."
(Saber): "Praetor, are you going to ask us if everything is okay?"
(Bell): "Of course, yes. Even if I like the person, it will not work if I lose you in the process." - he said very red and so embarrassed that he spoke without looking into their eyes.
That made Saber and Caster really happy that Bell considered them before going after some other girl. At that time Lili lowered her head as a sign of defeat, as she did not think they would agree with her entering the Bell harem, which did not go unnoticed by their eyes.
(Saber): "Well, it improved our mood, let's do the usual Praetor, go ahead."
(Caster): "And Lili..."
Lili lifted her head and looked at Caster.
(Caster): "As you need some experience, then you will help me at the rear of the Master."
(Lili): "S-sure!"
(Saber): "Well, let's get going."
They went like this to |Tenth Floor|, which was where Bell and Lili stopped.
(Saber): "What a dramatic change in the scenario."
(Lili): "This is nothing, the |Eighteenth Floor| is practically a forest. And rumors of some floor below being a glacier."
(Caster): "How does this place manage to have this variety?"
(Saber): "Those who live there are those who shape them."
(Bell): "Are you saying that the monsters of those who live on these floors are what make them stay like this?" - he was quite surprised by this.
(Caster): "It makes sense. Well with all this fog we better be careful."
They followed, but thanks to the fog and the fact that they were no longer in tunnels, they took a long time to find the passage that led to the next |Floor|. And for some reason they only found <Orcs>, which was already making the group a little bit irritated. While Bell was dealing with a lone <Orc>, Saber and Caster thought it was okay to talk to Lili about the previous issue.
(Saber): "Are you discouraged about something, Lili?"
Lili didn't answer, just lowered her head.
(Caster): "While the Master deals with the monsters we can talk." - Bell had just killed the <Orc> he was facing.
Lili went to collect the [Magic Stones]. Bell realized that the three of them wanted to talk.
(Bell): "I'll see if there's anything else ahead. Caster if I don't show up, it must be because I got lost, so cast a spell so I know where you are, all right?"
The three were surprised by Bell proposing such a thing, but they understood why. After he left, Lili decided to speak what was on her mind.
(Lili): "Is Master Bell really forming a harem?" - she said finishing collecting the [Magic Stones].
(Saber): "Umu, we convinced him to do so."
(Lili): "Why?"
(Caster): "What happened to you is a good example."
(Saber): "Umu, Praetor's dream is to be a [Hero], Lili. So whether he likes it or not the number of girls around him will only increase."
In fact, if Bell hadn't acted like a [Hero] Lili wouldn't have been in love, and that could happen to other girls as well.
(Lili): "And... is it okay for me to want to participate?" - She lowered her head a little in embarrassment for talking to them about it.
The two looked at each other, they and Hestia already knew this would happen, and they had already accepted that fact.
(Saber): "Yes."
(Caster): "You just need to tell him now."
Lili was very happy, even if she would have to share it, she could still be next to her [Hero], and that was enough for her.
(Lili): "Yes! But I think I better say that at home. And I still have to get my things from the store and the money I saved."
(Saber): "By the way, why did you take money?" she asked as Caster did a spell to call Bell back.
(Lili): "The captain of [Soma Family] said I would have to pay to be able to see [God] Soma. I was quite surprised that Master Bell did not find him."
That outraged Saber and Caster. Was the captain charging tuition to see the members see themselves [God]? And he was still giving the members something addictive to work harder.
(Saber): "Bastard."
(Caster): "We should teach you a lesson, shouldn't we?"
Bell came back then and took Caster's sentence.
(Bell): "Who are you talking about?"
(Lili): "They are angry with the captain of [Soma Family]."
(Bell): "If you're talking about Zanis L.u.s.tra, Lord Soma must have taken care of him already."
(Lili): "How do you know, Master Bell?"
(Bell): "When I talked about the addiction scheme, I could feel that Lord Soma was very angry, he even sent me a member of the [Family] to talk to him."
(Saber): "I still think we should do something."
(Caster): "But if we do it, we won't get away with it."
(Lili): "It's okay. I'm happy now." - she said while smiling.
This lessened the anger the two were feeling, and they moved on. They made some progress in the |Dungeon|, they went up to half of the |Eleventh Floor|, but the <Bad Bats> screamed so much that Bell and Lili almost passed out and they decided to come back, with the tantrum of the three, Bell was sure that they earned almost twice as much as they did with <Minotaur>'s [Magic Stone].
On the way out they heard a shout.
(????): "SABER!"
They saw a group of an [Amazoness], an [Elf] and a [Dwarf], coming towards them.
(Lili): "They are not from..." - Lili was speechless with that scene.
(Bell): "[Loki Family]? Yes, they are."
(Tiona): "Saber, why didn't you visit?"
(Saber): "New member." - she said pointing to Lili.
(Riveria): "I see you got the job done, Bell Cranel."
(Bell): "Yes, Miss Riveria, and again thanks for the help. I think Miss Eina and her boss would not have registered that task if you and Lady Loki were not present."
(Riveria): "Their task had a blood seal, there was no way for them to refuse."
(Gareth): "So you're Bell Cranel. Pretty young for what he said he was going to do, how old are you, sixteen?"
(Bell): "Fourteen."
(Lili): "HAH?! Is Master Bell younger than me?"
That shocked everyone present, especially Saber and Caster, they also thought Bell was sixteen. Bell was a big size for his age. And since he was only fourteen, he would still grow up.
(Bell): "How old are you, Lili?"
(Lili): "I am fifteen."
(Tiona): "So you are Bell ..." - she was looking at him a lot.
(Bell): "Is there a problem?"
(Tiona): "How did you invoke your 'soul weapon'?" - she approached him very excited.
Bell remembered that Saber commented that a member of [Familia Loki] had the ability, so he remembered the conversation with the two Bells.
(Bell): "Well ... I'm sure I was wondering why I wanted to be strong, and then they just came."
He didn't know if he should tell about the Bells of his dream, he thought it was a line he shouldn't cross.
(Tiona): "Why do I want to be stronger ..." - she lowered her head and was silent.
(Riveria): "So you have a 'soul weapon'?"
(Caster): "The Master has two."
(Tiona): "TWO ?!"
(Gareth): "Is that possible?" - He said looking at Saber.
(Saber): "As I said, the 'soul weapon' takes the form of what is most appropriate for the owner, if a double grip is appropriate for the owner, two swords will come ... despite the case of the Praetor being different. " - she murmured the last part but Tiona heard it.
(Tiona): "How different?"
Saber saw that he had screwed up and looked at Bell, and was surprised that he said nothing and signaled her to continue.
(Saber): "The two praetor swords are of different sets, so to speak."
(Gareth): "Like, instead of having a pair that matches by just one name, does he have two different swords that happen to complement each other?"
(Saber): "Yes."
(Tiona): "I still don't understand." - she was very confused by this.
(Riveria): "It's like your sister's weapons. Instead of having a pair of 'Zolas', he has an 'Urga' and a 'Desperate'."
(Tiona): "Incredible." - she was very excited about it.
(Riveria): "So you literally have two 'soul weapons ', instead of one that has split." - She said looking at Bell.
(Gareth): "But we ended up getting away from the subject a little."
(Caster): "Are you here to tell Saber when is the expedition?"
(Riveria): "Yes, she is exactly two weeks from now."
(Saber): "Where can I find you?"
(Gareth): "Around noon on the appointed day."
(Saber): "Closed."
(Riveria): "We have things to do, so let's get going."
(Gareth): "See you."
(Tiona): "See you on the expedition, Saber."
The trio went on their way and only after that did Lili get out of shock.
(Lili): "Do you have this level of friendship with [Loki Family]?"
(Bell): "Miss Riveria helped me to record Lord Soma's assignment, although it was because of Caster and Saber."
(Saber): "And we kind of became friends with some key members of [Loki Family] on Monsterphila."
Shocked was not even the beginning to describe Lili's mental state at that moment. The members of his [Family] had a certain friendship with [Loki Family].
(Bell): "Well, let's get going, it's time to get [Goddess] out of work and go straight to the party."
(Saber & Caster & Lili): "Right."
They made their way to Hestia's stall, where she was still selling Jagamaru-kuns, they waited a little while until Hestia finished everything.
(Hestia): "Hi guys! How was it?"
(Bell): "We have a reservation and Saber knows when the expedition is."
(Hestia): "I see. And Saber ... don't die down there as Loki's children won't mind bringing her back ... okay?" - she was really worried about her 'daughter'.
Saber saw this, as did the others, and saw how much she cared when they went to |Dungeon|.
(Saber): "Umu! I promise."
(Hestia): "So, let's go to the party." - she said this in an animated tone taking the lead.
That change in attitude could be said to be a farce, but they realized that she just didn't want to worry about her anxiety. They proceeded to the 'Fertility Hostess' of fertility that happened to be Chloe at the door when they entered.
(Chloe): "Welcome, meow." - she said that with the same smile that she gave to Bell.
When the girls from [Hestia Family] saw her, those who saw Chloe's assault on Bell were between him and her.
(Chloe): "Gee, you can't monopolize it." - She pouted while talking.
Bell was beginning to think they would have to find another place to eat out, because if it weren't for the girls starting a massacre in that place, it would be because he couldn't handle all those looks of envy piercing him. Syr chose this time to appear.
(Syr): "Chloe! Stop it."
(Chloe): "Why can't I join?"
(Syr): "You just can't!"
The other four agreed with Syr, and Bell was sure he couldn't go back to that pub again.
(Syr): "Anyway, table or counter?"
(Bell): "Table!" - he said immediately.
Bell was sure that Mrs. Mia would add more fuel to the fire with that dialogue they had, so he wanted to stay away from her for now.
(Syr): "This way." - she guided them to a table in the corner, which had six chairs.
When Bell passed Chloe, she winked at him, which was not lost on the others. Everyone sat down and Syr joined them.
(Bell): "Is it okay for you not to work?"
(Syr): "Mama Mia gave me permission to hang out with you."
(Saber): "As long as we pay a lot, don't we?"
Syr just smiled which confirmed Saber's statement. They enjoyed the party very well. When it got dark the girls decided to let Syr have some time with Bell and left early.
(Caster): "Just don't let that cat get close to Master." - she said as she faced Chloe.
(Syr): "Right."
The four said goodbye to Bell and left the pub.
(Lili): "Guys..."
(Hestia): "What is it?"
(Lili): "Could we stop by the store where I was staying? There are some things I left there. And then go to the safe to get the money."
(Saber): "Umu! We can go now if the owner lets us in."
(Caster): "But you can save the money for when you need it."
(Lili): "Even if Miss Caster manages to reform the church with magic, she is still somewhat small if other members who are not like you join, right?"
Lili had a point, even if Caster repaired the church, there was only one room, and he was almost full with a bed and two sofas, if they were going to recruit other members besides the |Servants|, they would either need to increase the church or change from home.
(Hestia): "If you really want to help, I won't stop you, but if so, it would be better to get another house, even if Saber and Caster don't need to sleep, I still feel bad that you don't have a room and a bed."
(Saber): "You don't have to worry about that."
(Caster): "It's okay."
(Hestia): "You talking kind words just makes the guilt bigger."
(Lili): "So, I'll get the money tomorrow, we can ask Master Bell's advisor if there are any houses for sale. What was her name?"
(Saber): "Eina Tulle."
(Caster): "You don't know her?"
(Lili): "My counselor has already retired. And I never talked to her."
In fact, Lili never came near the counters when they were going to change the magic stones. The only time she got close to Eina was yesterday, when she went to see if Bell was okay after the task.
(Hestia): "If you want to look, that's fine. But I still think it's better to wait for Bell to rise from Level."
(Saber): "Well, since everything is decided, let's go."
They made their way to the store that Lili lived in, which luckily was open, Lili broke the news that she was moving in to the owner, but promised that she would come and see if he was okay from time to time. She took everything that was hers in the room, including the key to the safe she hid, went down and said goodbye to [Spirit].
When they arrived at the church, a thought crossed Hestia's mind.
(Hestia): "Now that I stopped to think, I didn't update your status Lili, let's do it now and take advantage of it and do the others too."
(Lili): "Okay."
They went to the room and did the same procedure as always. In Lili's, Hestia was a little confused.
(Hestia): "Lili, how long have you been updating your status?"
(Lili): "Uhh ... half a year?"
(Hestia): "Soma really only focuses on wine, although his goal is not so bad ... Okay ... updated status ... here." - she said the last part, handing a scroll to Lili.
At that time Saber and Caster went to see her status as well.

(Hestia): "What happened? Did you decide to kill the monsters instead of Bell?"
(Saber): "We ended up having a certain tantrum."
Hestia almost asked what it would be, but stopped because she was sure she would ask and she would regret it.
(Hestia): "Okay, then."
(Saber): "Ah, and Lili, you will participate in the Praetor's training with me."
(Lili): "WHAT ?!"
(Caster): "Lili, if you can't keep up with Master, you'll be left behind on the explorations."
(Lili): "OK then."
They continued to make small talk until Bell arrived.
While the girls went to [Spirit]'s store, Bell kept talking to Syr, just chatting away, without any relevant topic. Chloe tried a few thrusts at Bell, but Syr managed to keep her away from him. After a while he realized it was late and decided to go home. He said goodbye to everyone. Chloe winked at him to Syr's discontent. He went on his way but when he was passing through an alley, he stopped. He was sure he was being watched. He looked around, and then jumped back, in the lungar where he was, there was a spear. Next to her a man with black hair and a mask fell from the sky, he had ears and a cat's tail. A [Caith Sith]. Soon after, four other people appeared in the same way as the first, around him. The others appeared to be [Humans].
(Bell): "What do you want?"
(Caith Sith): "Didn't it occur to you that we are murderers and we came to kill you?"
(Bell): "Assassins do not leave a gap for the victim to be able to deflect, they do a quick job."
That surprised all the masked men. In fact, the [Caith Sith] really took it easy, although Bell's reflexes surprised him, he didn't believe that the boy in front of him started just a month ago, or that he realized through his staging.
(Caith Sith): "Then show me what you have, to get our Mistress's attention." - He said taking the spear from the ground and pointing at Bell.
Bell summoned his swords quickly, which again stunned them all, and waited. If he wanted to see what he had, he would have to come and get it. [Caith Sith] understood the invitation and moved forward, he was fast, he wasn't even a quarter of full speed, but fast. However, training with Saber made him able to keep up with that speed. He managed to deflect several blows from his opponent, even managed to hit one, well surface on the arm. The group's astonishment only increased, they were beginning to understand why this boy had caught their Lady's attention. When they left, Bell decided to go into combat from a distance.
(Bell): "Ray of Light!" - he shouted raising the 'Promise of Light'.
A white lightning came out of the tip of his white sword and went straight to [Caith Sith's] feet, when he jumped, Bell saw an opportunity.
(Bell): "Ray of Darkness!" - he shouted lowering the 'Promise of Light' and raising 'Forgetfulness of Darkness'.
A black lightning came from the tip of the black sword towards the [Caith Sith] that was in the air. But with an acrobatic movement he managed to deflect his magic.
(Bell): 'He's way above me!' - he thought frustrated, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to test it, Bell was sure he would be dead already.
(Caith Sith): "In addition to these swords, two spells without enchantment, our Lady will rejoice in this."
(Bell): "Who's your Lady?"
(Human 1): "You will find out." - Bell could hear the irritation in his voice
Bell did not like how it was going, at that time he saw one of the masked men go flying and hit the other at the same time he heard a voice.
(????): "Do you really need five against one?"
Bell turned and saw Tiona snapping her fingers.
(Bell): "Miss Tiona."
(Caith Sith): "Stay out of it |Amazon|, you have nothing to do with it."
(Tiona): "He's a friend of a friend, I can't just stay still."
[Caith Sith] made a noise and attacked Bell again, but at that time he remembered that those members of [Soma Family] were unable to raise their swords, they were heavy the moment they left their hands or the moment they touched anyone?
He went down to bet when [Caith Sith] passed him after he managed to dodge, he left the black sword on his opponent and released it, at the same time [Caith Sith] went down on the spot.
(Caith Sith): "Arg! How does he handle so much weight?"
Bell only tasted victory for a second and soon after he was thrown off the ground by a kick from one of the masked men, which by pure reflex he managed to block with the sword that was still in his hand.
(Tiona): "Bell!" - she ran to him.
The masked men were trying to get 'Forgetfulness of Darkness' off [Caith Sith].
(Human 2): "Boy, solve this, if not, even |Amazon| will be not able to save you."
Bell knew he was right, they just needed one of them to deal with him, Tiona couldn't take three at once. He raised his free hand and the sword that was on top of [Caith Sith] became a cloud that goes to him and solidified in his hand when he closed it. That surprised everyone again.
(Caith Sith): "Can you still call them back? In fact, you have potential."
After he said that, the five masked men jumped to the roofs and then disappeared.
(Tiona): "Are you okay?" - she didn't even care to follow them, she knew she wouldn't have a chance.
(Bell): "Yes, thanks for the help. From the tone of voice I think one of them was going to lose patience."
(Tiona): "Okay. Do you know who they are? Or why they were after you?"
(Bell): "No, I don't know them, but I think they wanted to see what I'm capable of, they kept saying that their 'Mistress' would be happy with my progress."
(Tiona): "Well, if it was just that, I think they won't be coming back. Anyway, these are your 'soul weapons'?" - she said looking at his swords.
(Bell): "Yes."
(Tiona): "That trick of hers disappear and reappear in your hand, how do you do that?"
(Bell): "I just call them with my mind, and they come back."
(Tiona): "This is soooo cool! I can't wait to have mine."
(Bell): "Well thanks again, Miss Tiona."
(Tiona): "Just Tiona."
(Bell): "Huh?"
(Tiona): "You can only call me Tiona."
(Bell): "Alright."
(Tiona): "Well, I think we better go home. See you sometime." - she said walking away the same way she came.
(Bell): "Bye."
After she was gone, he went on his way, but he didn't calm down until he reached the church. When the girls saw how he was doing, they made a commotion that only increased when he told everything. It took a long time for them to calm down. After they calmed down, Hestia decided to update Bell's status.

/ ******************************* /
Again, Bell's growth was incredible.
(Saber): "I think this fight helped you in the end."
(Caster): "What did they want?"
(Bell): "They've been mentioning their 'Mistress' a few times."
That left them all up close, it seems that the Saber theory was right in the end.
(Caster): "Good Master, Lili has something to tell you, so we are going to give you privacy."
The three left and left only the two. Lili had a very red face, that already made Bell understand what she wanted to say, and he really liked her too, and as he said before, if the others didn't complain, then he didn't see any problems.
(Lili): "I ... have a request ..."
(Bell): "Yes?"
(Lili): "I ... can I enter your harem?" - she said looking at him with a red face.
Bell's face went as red as hers.
(Bell): "You remember what I said earlier, don't you?"
(Lili): "Yes, and Lady Saber, Lady Caster, Lady Hestia and Miss Syr agreed."
That confused him.
(Bell): "When did you ask Syr?"
(Lili): "During lunch, when Lady Saber was talking to Master Bell. Lady Caster wrote the situation to Miss Syr and she replied that it was okay."
Bel was silent for a few seconds.
(Bell): "Are you okay with that?"
(Lili): "Yes, they explained to me why, and being on your side I don't care." - she gave a very sweet smile while saying that.
(Bell): "If you and the others don't have a problem with that, that's fine." - his face got even redder.
(Lili): "Thank you!"
Lili was so elated that she hugged him, at that moment the door opened and the others entered. Bell was sure they were listening to the conversation behind the door. Even with the discussions, the moment was one of joy, which made them put aside the attackers and the Mistress who commanded them.
(Bell): "[Goddess]?"
(Hestia): "What is it, Bell?"
(Bell): "Why don't we have a welcome party for Lili?"
(Saber): "Like the one you did for us?"
(Bell): "Yes."
(Caster): "Where do you plan to have this party, Master?" - Her eyes went cold when a thought crossed her mind.
(Bell): "I was thinking about the 'Hostess of Fertility'."
The weather was so cold that Lili was trying not to be there.
(Bell): "What's wrong?" - he asked a little indignantly.
Bell promised to have Syr in his harem, and he's just been saying hi to Syr for the past few days, and for the past two days he hasn't even been there because of the plan and preparations. He thought it would be good to kill two birds with one stone.
(Saber): "Umu! I think everything is fine." - she said a little friendly.
(Caster): "Yeah ..." - she had a defeat voice.
(Hestia): "Okay! On the way, stop by and see if you can get a reservation." - she said a little frustrated.
(Bell): "Right. And ..." - he looked at Lili who had already put the bag on her back.
Seeing Bell look at her once she was happy and a little nervous about what was to come. Shortly after, he faced the others.
(Bell): "I think we should tell Lili, since she's from [Family] now."
(Saber): "Umu! I don't see a problem."
(Caster): "I agree."
(Hestia): "Okay, you tell her, if I take too long I'll have problems." - she said as she left.
(Lili): "Tell me what, Master Bell?"
Bell chuckled, thinking about how to tell her.
(Bell): "Lili, what Level do you think Saber and Caster are at?"
That left her a little surprised, as it did not need the permission of the others, but she answered what she thought.
(Lili): "I think they are both at Level 4, almost going to Level 5."
(Saber): "Wrong."
(Caster): "We are both Level 1."
(Lili): "HAH ?! Are you kidding me?"
(Bell): "No, we're not Lili, they joined this [Family] a few days before we met ... and they have almost no status points."
(Lili): "Impossible! Lady Saber is so fast and strong and Lady Caster has powerful magic and no enchantment! There is no way that is possible!" - She said with a shocked expression as she looked at Saber and Caster.
Saber was finding that reaction from Lili very funny.
(Saber): "Lili, what race do you think we are?"
(Lili): "Race? Lady Saber is a [Human] and Lady Caster is a [Renard] ... isn't she?" - she asked for confirmation a little hesitantly.
(Caster): "Wrong, we are both [Spirits]."
(Lili): "[Spirits] ?! Are there [Spirits] who want to join a [Family]?" - she was already screaming.
(Bell): "Lili, do you know a [Spirits]?"
(Lili): "The owner of the store where I stayed is one, and he tries to avoid [Adventurers] as much as possible. But things are making sense ..."
(Saber): "When the Praetor found out about me, I thought he was going to pass out."
(Bell): "Anyway, the two are [Spirits] formed from legends of [Heroes]."
(Lili): "I didn't know it was possible."
(Caster): "But you need to understand something Lili, we are connected to this world thanks to Mestre, since we made a contract with him."
(Lili): "Is that why the titles for Master Bell?"
(Saber): "Umu!"
(Bell): "Well, since we explain things, let's get going before it's late. And Lili, this is a secret, you can't tell anyone, okay?"
(Lili): "Yes."
When the group left the church a thought crossed Bell's mind.
(Bell): "Caster, can you do that land remodeling thing now?"
(Caster): "I think it is better to put it off when the Master Level Up, as soon as you go up, before you ..." - she looked around and saw people nearby - "call more people to [Family] . "
(Bell): "Alright."
They followed the path and passed in front of the 'Hostess of Fertility', at the time Ryuu and the black-haired [Caith Sith] were outside.
(Bell): "Good morning!" - he greeted the two.
(Ryuu): "Mr. Cranel, good morning."
(Caith Sith): "Good morning. If you are looking for Syr, she is not, meow, she went shopping with Anya."
(Saber): "Actually, we came to see if we could make a reservation."
(Ryuu): "Are you planning to party?"
(Caster): "Yes, a welcome party for Lili in our [Family]." - She said pointing to the group's [Pallum].
Ryuu looked at her recognizing her, Lili even bowed her head in shame, but Ryuu didn't say anything, if she had been accepted into [Family] there was no problem.
(Ryuu): "We will talk to Mama Mia to make a reservation."
(Bell): "Thank you."
(Caith Sith): "I feel like there's something more there, meow."
Bell was a little nervous. Was that what they called female intuition?
(Caith Sith): "If you want to be pampered and your companions don't, let me pamper you in the place of Syr, meow." - she said this with the same smile of a child who got a new toy.
(Bell): "Huh ?!" - he was quite surprised by this direct she was giving.
For a moment he thought he would have a bloodbath on the spot. He felt a murderous aura coming from Saber, Caster and, for some reason, Lili. But this massacre was averted thanks to Ryuu. She took Caith Sith's shoulder and was dragging her inside.
(Ryuu): "Stop it, Chloe, or Syr and Mr. Cranel's companions will be irritated."
Bell was happy that Ryuu was concerned about the weather, although he thought the focus was on Syr.
(Chloe): "Noooo! I need to see better this imm.a.t.u.r.e and shapely treasure hidden under the back of those pants - GUFA!"
This last part was because Ryuu hit her on the head when she felt the bloodl.u.s.t of the women around Bell shooting.
(Ryuu): "I will tell Mama Mia and Syr about this. Good luck in |Dungeon|." - She said finishing dragging Chloe into the pub.
(Bell): "Thank you. We'll be back for the night then." - he said while pushing his companions who were still releasing a great thirst for blood.
After walking away from the pub a little, the three started to complain.
(Saber): "That woman has courage."
(Caster): "Unforgivable. If it weren't for Syr, we would never step on that place again."
(Lili): "Should we get rid of it?"
The conversation was taking a dangerous turn.
(Bell): "Calm down."
(Saber & Caster & Lili): "WE CAN'T!"
They were in |Dungeon| when they finally managed to calm down. The three were so irritated, that the formation for Bell to fight alone and get stronger went to the bag and Bell played the role of [Support]. They killed all the monsters they met up to the |Sixth Floor|, only at that time that Bell was able to talk.
(Bell): "Have you calmed down?"
(Saber): "Umu, I'm sorry, Praetor."
(Caster): "It should be the Master killing the monsters to get stronger, but instead we deal with everyone on the way."
(Lili): "Sorry."
(Bell): "It's okay, just avoid causing a fight there, okay?"
The three were thankful that Bell was so depressing.
(Caster): "Master..."
(Bell): "Yes?"
(Caster): "Are you planning to make that [Caith Sith] part of your harem?"
Bell blushed and Lili was interested in this conversation. Was Bell forming a harem? How did the others just accept it?
(Bell): "Are you going to ask me that every time I talk to a girl?"
(Caster): "I will." - Her eyes at that time were hurting Bell as if she were stabbing him.
Bell just didn't know how to react to that answer, but he spoke what was on his mind.
(Bell): "First, you would have to agree with the person who is going to enter, and second they would have to agree to be part of it."
(Saber): "Praetor, are you going to ask us if everything is okay?"
(Bell): "Of course, yes. Even if I like the person, it will not work if I lose you in the process." - he said very red and so embarrassed that he spoke without looking into their eyes.
That made Saber and Caster really happy that Bell considered them before going after some other girl. At that time Lili lowered her head as a sign of defeat, as she did not think they would agree with her entering the Bell harem, which did not go unnoticed by their eyes.
(Saber): "Well, it improved our mood, let's do the usual Praetor, go ahead."
(Caster): "And Lili..."
Lili lifted her head and looked at Caster.
(Caster): "As you need some experience, then you will help me at the rear of the Master."
(Lili): "S-sure!"
(Saber): "Well, let's get going."
They went like this to |Tenth Floor|, which was where Bell and Lili stopped.
(Saber): "What a dramatic change in the scenario."
(Lili): "This is nothing, the |Eighteenth Floor| is practically a forest. And rumors of some floor below being a glacier."
(Caster): "How does this place manage to have this variety?"
(Saber): "Those who live there are those who shape them."
(Bell): "Are you saying that the monsters of those who live on these floors are what make them stay like this?" - he was quite surprised by this.
(Caster): "It makes sense. Well with all this fog we better be careful."
They followed, but thanks to the fog and the fact that they were no longer in tunnels, they took a long time to find the passage that led to the next |Floor|. And for some reason they only found <Orcs>, which was already making the group a little bit irritated. While Bell was dealing with a lone <Orc>, Saber and Caster thought it was okay to talk to Lili about the previous issue.
(Saber): "Are you discouraged about something, Lili?"
Lili didn't answer, just lowered her head.
(Caster): "While the Master deals with the monsters we can talk." - Bell had just killed the <Orc> he was facing.
Lili went to collect the [Magic Stones]. Bell realized that the three of them wanted to talk.
(Bell): "I'll see if there's anything else ahead. Caster if I don't show up, it must be because I got lost, so cast a spell so I know where you are, all right?"
The three were surprised by Bell proposing such a thing, but they understood why. After he left, Lili decided to speak what was on her mind.
(Lili): "Is Master Bell really forming a harem?" - she said finishing collecting the [Magic Stones].
(Saber): "Umu, we convinced him to do so."
(Lili): "Why?"
(Caster): "What happened to you is a good example."
(Saber): "Umu, Praetor's dream is to be a [Hero], Lili. So whether he likes it or not the number of girls around him will only increase."
In fact, if Bell hadn't acted like a [Hero] Lili wouldn't have been in love, and that could happen to other girls as well.
(Lili): "And... is it okay for me to want to participate?" - She lowered her head a little in embarrassment for talking to them about it.
The two looked at each other, they and Hestia already knew this would happen, and they had already accepted that fact.
(Saber): "Yes."
(Caster): "You just need to tell him now."
Lili was very happy, even if she would have to share it, she could still be next to her [Hero], and that was enough for her.
(Lili): "Yes! But I think I better say that at home. And I still have to get my things from the store and the money I saved."
(Saber): "By the way, why did you take money?" she asked as Caster did a spell to call Bell back.
(Lili): "The captain of [Soma Family] said I would have to pay to be able to see [God] Soma. I was quite surprised that Master Bell did not find him."
That outraged Saber and Caster. Was the captain charging tuition to see the members see themselves [God]? And he was still giving the members something addictive to work harder.
(Saber): "Bastard."
(Caster): "We should teach you a lesson, shouldn't we?"
Bell came back then and took Caster's sentence.
(Bell): "Who are you talking about?"
(Lili): "They are angry with the captain of [Soma Family]."
(Bell): "If you're talking about Zanis L.u.s.tra, Lord Soma must have taken care of him already."
(Lili): "How do you know, Master Bell?"
(Bell): "When I talked about the addiction scheme, I could feel that Lord Soma was very angry, he even sent me a member of the [Family] to talk to him."
(Saber): "I still think we should do something."
(Caster): "But if we do it, we won't get away with it."
(Lili): "It's okay. I'm happy now." - she said while smiling.
This lessened the anger the two were feeling, and they moved on. They made some progress in the |Dungeon|, they went up to half of the |Eleventh Floor|, but the <Bad Bats> screamed so much that Bell and Lili almost passed out and they decided to come back, with the tantrum of the three, Bell was sure that they earned almost twice as much as they did with <Minotaur>'s [Magic Stone].
On the way out they heard a shout.
(????): "SABER!"
They saw a group of an [Amazoness], an [Elf] and a [Dwarf], coming towards them.
(Lili): "They are not from..." - Lili was speechless with that scene.
(Bell): "[Loki Family]? Yes, they are."
(Tiona): "Saber, why didn't you visit?"
(Saber): "New member." - she said pointing to Lili.
(Riveria): "I see you got the job done, Bell Cranel."
(Bell): "Yes, Miss Riveria, and again thanks for the help. I think Miss Eina and her boss would not have registered that task if you and Lady Loki were not present."
(Riveria): "Their task had a blood seal, there was no way for them to refuse."
(Gareth): "So you're Bell Cranel. Pretty young for what he said he was going to do, how old are you, sixteen?"
(Bell): "Fourteen."
(Lili): "HAH?! Is Master Bell younger than me?"
That shocked everyone present, especially Saber and Caster, they also thought Bell was sixteen. Bell was a big size for his age. And since he was only fourteen, he would still grow up.
(Bell): "How old are you, Lili?"
(Lili): "I am fifteen."
(Tiona): "So you are Bell ..." - she was looking at him a lot.
(Bell): "Is there a problem?"
(Tiona): "How did you invoke your 'soul weapon'?" - she approached him very excited.
Bell remembered that Saber commented that a member of [Familia Loki] had the ability, so he remembered the conversation with the two Bells.
(Bell): "Well ... I'm sure I was wondering why I wanted to be strong, and then they just came."
He didn't know if he should tell about the Bells of his dream, he thought it was a line he shouldn't cross.
(Tiona): "Why do I want to be stronger ..." - she lowered her head and was silent.
(Riveria): "So you have a 'soul weapon'?"
(Caster): "The Master has two."
(Tiona): "TWO ?!"
(Gareth): "Is that possible?" - He said looking at Saber.
(Saber): "As I said, the 'soul weapon' takes the form of what is most appropriate for the owner, if a double grip is appropriate for the owner, two swords will come ... despite the case of the Praetor being different. " - she murmured the last part but Tiona heard it.
(Tiona): "How different?"
Saber saw that he had screwed up and looked at Bell, and was surprised that he said nothing and signaled her to continue.
(Saber): "The two praetor swords are of different sets, so to speak."
(Gareth): "Like, instead of having a pair that matches by just one name, does he have two different swords that happen to complement each other?"
(Saber): "Yes."
(Tiona): "I still don't understand." - she was very confused by this.
(Riveria): "It's like your sister's weapons. Instead of having a pair of 'Zolas', he has an 'Urga' and a 'Desperate'."
(Tiona): "Incredible." - she was very excited about it.
(Riveria): "So you literally have two 'soul weapons ', instead of one that has split." - She said looking at Bell.
(Gareth): "But we ended up getting away from the subject a little."
(Caster): "Are you here to tell Saber when is the expedition?"
(Riveria): "Yes, she is exactly two weeks from now."
(Saber): "Where can I find you?"
(Gareth): "Around noon on the appointed day."
(Saber): "Closed."
(Riveria): "We have things to do, so let's get going."
(Gareth): "See you."
(Tiona): "See you on the expedition, Saber."
The trio went on their way and only after that did Lili get out of shock.
(Lili): "Do you have this level of friendship with [Loki Family]?"
(Bell): "Miss Riveria helped me to record Lord Soma's assignment, although it was because of Caster and Saber."
(Saber): "And we kind of became friends with some key members of [Loki Family] on Monsterphila."
Shocked was not even the beginning to describe Lili's mental state at that moment. The members of his [Family] had a certain friendship with [Loki Family].
(Bell): "Well, let's get going, it's time to get [Goddess] out of work and go straight to the party."
(Saber & Caster & Lili): "Right."
They made their way to Hestia's stall, where she was still selling Jagamaru-kuns, they waited a little while until Hestia finished everything.
(Hestia): "Hi guys! How was it?"
(Bell): "We have a reservation and Saber knows when the expedition is."
(Hestia): "I see. And Saber ... don't die down there as Loki's children won't mind bringing her back ... okay?" - she was really worried about her 'daughter'.
Saber saw this, as did the others, and saw how much she cared when they went to |Dungeon|.
(Saber): "Umu! I promise."
(Hestia): "So, let's go to the party." - she said this in an animated tone taking the lead.
That change in attitude could be said to be a farce, but they realized that she just didn't want to worry about her anxiety. They proceeded to the 'Fertility Hostess' of fertility that happened to be Chloe at the door when they entered.
(Chloe): "Welcome, meow." - she said that with the same smile that she gave to Bell.
When the girls from [Hestia Family] saw her, those who saw Chloe's assault on Bell were between him and her.
(Chloe): "Gee, you can't monopolize it." - She pouted while talking.
Bell was beginning to think they would have to find another place to eat out, because if it weren't for the girls starting a massacre in that place, it would be because he couldn't handle all those looks of envy piercing him. Syr chose this time to appear.
(Syr): "Chloe! Stop it."
(Chloe): "Why can't I join?"
(Syr): "You just can't!"
The other four agreed with Syr, and Bell was sure he couldn't go back to that pub again.
(Syr): "Anyway, table or counter?"
(Bell): "Table!" - he said immediately.
Bell was sure that Mrs. Mia would add more fuel to the fire with that dialogue they had, so he wanted to stay away from her for now.
(Syr): "This way." - she guided them to a table in the corner, which had six chairs.
When Bell passed Chloe, she winked at him, which was not lost on the others. Everyone sat down and Syr joined them.
(Bell): "Is it okay for you not to work?"
(Syr): "Mama Mia gave me permission to hang out with you."
(Saber): "As long as we pay a lot, don't we?"
Syr just smiled which confirmed Saber's statement. They enjoyed the party very well. When it got dark the girls decided to let Syr have some time with Bell and left early.
(Caster): "Just don't let that cat get close to Master." - she said as she faced Chloe.
(Syr): "Right."
The four said goodbye to Bell and left the pub.
(Lili): "Guys..."
(Hestia): "What is it?"
(Lili): "Could we stop by the store where I was staying? There are some things I left there. And then go to the safe to get the money."
(Saber): "Umu! We can go now if the owner lets us in."
(Caster): "But you can save the money for when you need it."
(Lili): "Even if Miss Caster manages to reform the church with magic, she is still somewhat small if other members who are not like you join, right?"
Lili had a point, even if Caster repaired the church, there was only one room, and he was almost full with a bed and two sofas, if they were going to recruit other members besides the |Servants|, they would either need to increase the church or change from home.
(Hestia): "If you really want to help, I won't stop you, but if so, it would be better to get another house, even if Saber and Caster don't need to sleep, I still feel bad that you don't have a room and a bed."
(Saber): "You don't have to worry about that."
(Caster): "It's okay."
(Hestia): "You talking kind words just makes the guilt bigger."
(Lili): "So, I'll get the money tomorrow, we can ask Master Bell's advisor if there are any houses for sale. What was her name?"
(Saber): "Eina Tulle."
(Caster): "You don't know her?"
(Lili): "My counselor has already retired. And I never talked to her."
In fact, Lili never came near the counters when they were going to change the magic stones. The only time she got close to Eina was yesterday, when she went to see if Bell was okay after the task.
(Hestia): "If you want to look, that's fine. But I still think it's better to wait for Bell to rise from Level."
(Saber): "Well, since everything is decided, let's go."
They made their way to the store that Lili lived in, which luckily was open, Lili broke the news that she was moving in to the owner, but promised that she would come and see if he was okay from time to time. She took everything that was hers in the room, including the key to the safe she hid, went down and said goodbye to [Spirit].
When they arrived at the church, a thought crossed Hestia's mind.
(Hestia): "Now that I stopped to think, I didn't update your status Lili, let's do it now and take advantage of it and do the others too."
(Lili): "Okay."
They went to the room and did the same procedure as always. In Lili's, Hestia was a little confused.
(Hestia): "Lili, how long have you been updating your status?"
(Lili): "Uhh ... half a year?"
(Hestia): "Soma really only focuses on wine, although his goal is not so bad ... Okay ... updated status ... here." - she said the last part, handing a scroll to Lili.
At that time Saber and Caster went to see her status as well.

(Hestia): "What happened? Did you decide to kill the monsters instead of Bell?"
(Saber): "We ended up having a certain tantrum."
Hestia almost asked what it would be, but stopped because she was sure she would ask and she would regret it.
(Hestia): "Okay, then."
(Saber): "Ah, and Lili, you will participate in the Praetor's training with me."
(Lili): "WHAT ?!"
(Caster): "Lili, if you can't keep up with Master, you'll be left behind on the explorations."
(Lili): "OK then."
They continued to make small talk until Bell arrived.
While the girls went to [Spirit]'s store, Bell kept talking to Syr, just chatting away, without any relevant topic. Chloe tried a few thrusts at Bell, but Syr managed to keep her away from him. After a while he realized it was late and decided to go home. He said goodbye to everyone. Chloe winked at him to Syr's discontent. He went on his way but when he was passing through an alley, he stopped. He was sure he was being watched. He looked around, and then jumped back, in the lungar where he was, there was a spear. Next to her a man with black hair and a mask fell from the sky, he had ears and a cat's tail. A [Caith Sith]. Soon after, four other people appeared in the same way as the first, around him. The others appeared to be [Humans].
(Bell): "What do you want?"
(Caith Sith): "Didn't it occur to you that we are murderers and we came to kill you?"
(Bell): "Assassins do not leave a gap for the victim to be able to deflect, they do a quick job."
That surprised all the masked men. In fact, the [Caith Sith] really took it easy, although Bell's reflexes surprised him, he didn't believe that the boy in front of him started just a month ago, or that he realized through his staging.
(Caith Sith): "Then show me what you have, to get our Mistress's attention." - He said taking the spear from the ground and pointing at Bell.
Bell summoned his swords quickly, which again stunned them all, and waited. If he wanted to see what he had, he would have to come and get it. [Caith Sith] understood the invitation and moved forward, he was fast, he wasn't even a quarter of full speed, but fast. However, training with Saber made him able to keep up with that speed. He managed to deflect several blows from his opponent, even managed to hit one, well surface on the arm. The group's astonishment only increased, they were beginning to understand why this boy had caught their Lady's attention. When they left, Bell decided to go into combat from a distance.
(Bell): "Ray of Light!" - he shouted raising the 'Promise of Light'.
A white lightning came out of the tip of his white sword and went straight to [Caith Sith's] feet, when he jumped, Bell saw an opportunity.
(Bell): "Ray of Darkness!" - he shouted lowering the 'Promise of Light' and raising 'Forgetfulness of Darkness'.
A black lightning came from the tip of the black sword towards the [Caith Sith] that was in the air. But with an acrobatic movement he managed to deflect his magic.
(Bell): 'He's way above me!' - he thought frustrated, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to test it, Bell was sure he would be dead already.
(Caith Sith): "In addition to these swords, two spells without enchantment, our Lady will rejoice in this."
(Bell): "Who's your Lady?"
(Human 1): "You will find out." - Bell could hear the irritation in his voice
Bell did not like how it was going, at that time he saw one of the masked men go flying and hit the other at the same time he heard a voice.
(????): "Do you really need five against one?"
Bell turned and saw Tiona snapping her fingers.
(Bell): "Miss Tiona."
(Caith Sith): "Stay out of it |Amazon|, you have nothing to do with it."
(Tiona): "He's a friend of a friend, I can't just stay still."
[Caith Sith] made a noise and attacked Bell again, but at that time he remembered that those members of [Soma Family] were unable to raise their swords, they were heavy the moment they left their hands or the moment they touched anyone?
He went down to bet when [Caith Sith] passed him after he managed to dodge, he left the black sword on his opponent and released it, at the same time [Caith Sith] went down on the spot.
(Caith Sith): "Arg! How does he handle so much weight?"
Bell only tasted victory for a second and soon after he was thrown off the ground by a kick from one of the masked men, which by pure reflex he managed to block with the sword that was still in his hand.
(Tiona): "Bell!" - she ran to him.
The masked men were trying to get 'Forgetfulness of Darkness' off [Caith Sith].
(Human 2): "Boy, solve this, if not, even |Amazon| will be not able to save you."
Bell knew he was right, they just needed one of them to deal with him, Tiona couldn't take three at once. He raised his free hand and the sword that was on top of [Caith Sith] became a cloud that goes to him and solidified in his hand when he closed it. That surprised everyone again.
(Caith Sith): "Can you still call them back? In fact, you have potential."
After he said that, the five masked men jumped to the roofs and then disappeared.
(Tiona): "Are you okay?" - she didn't even care to follow them, she knew she wouldn't have a chance.
(Bell): "Yes, thanks for the help. From the tone of voice I think one of them was going to lose patience."
(Tiona): "Okay. Do you know who they are? Or why they were after you?"
(Bell): "No, I don't know them, but I think they wanted to see what I'm capable of, they kept saying that their 'Mistress' would be happy with my progress."
(Tiona): "Well, if it was just that, I think they won't be coming back. Anyway, these are your 'soul weapons'?" - she said looking at his swords.
(Bell): "Yes."
(Tiona): "That trick of hers disappear and reappear in your hand, how do you do that?"
(Bell): "I just call them with my mind, and they come back."
(Tiona): "This is soooo cool! I can't wait to have mine."
(Bell): "Well thanks again, Miss Tiona."
(Tiona): "Just Tiona."
(Bell): "Huh?"
(Tiona): "You can only call me Tiona."
(Bell): "Alright."
(Tiona): "Well, I think we better go home. See you sometime." - she said walking away the same way she came.
(Bell): "Bye."
After she was gone, he went on his way, but he didn't calm down until he reached the church. When the girls saw how he was doing, they made a commotion that only increased when he told everything. It took a long time for them to calm down. After they calmed down, Hestia decided to update Bell's status.

Again, Bell's growth was incredible.
(Saber): "I think this fight helped you in the end."
(Caster): "What did they want?"
(Bell): "They've been mentioning their 'Mistress' a few times."
That left them all up close, it seems that the Saber theory was right in the end.
(Caster): "Good Master, Lili has something to tell you, so we are going to give you privacy."
The three left and left only the two. Lili had a very red face, that already made Bell understand what she wanted to say, and he really liked her too, and as he said before, if the others didn't complain, then he didn't see any problems.
(Lili): "I ... have a request ..."
(Bell): "Yes?"
(Lili): "I ... can I enter your harem?" - she said looking at him with a red face.
Bell's face went as red as hers.
(Bell): "You remember what I said earlier, don't you?"
(Lili): "Yes, and Lady Saber, Lady Caster, Lady Hestia and Miss Syr agreed."
That confused him.
(Bell): "When did you ask Syr?"
(Lili): "During lunch, when Lady Saber was talking to Master Bell. Lady Caster wrote the situation to Miss Syr and she replied that it was okay."
Bel was silent for a few seconds.
(Bell): "Are you okay with that?"
(Lili): "Yes, they explained to me why, and being on your side I don't care." - she gave a very sweet smile while saying that.
(Bell): "If you and the others don't have a problem with that, that's fine." - his face got even redder.
(Lili): "Thank you!"
Lili was so elated that she hugged him, at that moment the door opened and the others entered. Bell was sure they were listening to the conversation behind the door. Even with the discussions, the moment was one of joy, which made them put aside the attackers and the Mistress who commanded them.
