Danmachi: Blue Version

3.5+

Bell was currently rushing towards the Dungeon, before he had been called out by a girl. Her name, Syr Flover, a human teenage girl wearing a dress that fit her body quite well.

"Excuse me, Mr.Adventurer!" Bell gazed around before pointing to himself. "Me?"

"Of course, you see I saw that you might have dropped this monster core the other day." Taking the small core and peering over it, he stuffed it into his pouch. "I could've sworn I turned them all in, alas, thank you Miss?"

"Syr Flover." She responded while smiling at him. "Thanks Flover-san, my name is Bell Cranel. I must get going-" His stomach growled as he blushed from embarrassment. Syr wore a grin. "So you haven't eaten at all today?" He shook his head no. "Then..." She pulled out a box and handed it to Bell. "Please, at least eat my morning rations." "What? No, I couldn't! This is your rations Flover-san!" She had pouted while her cheeks puffed up.

"In exchange you have to come back to the Hostess of Fertility, for dinner! And no more Flover-san, it is Syr! Come on say it." Truly, girls were mysterious.
"Syr-sa-" She wore a smile that held a dark shadow bore on her face.

"Syr!" "Aw, shouting your love for me already Bell?" The boy fumbled before putting the lunch box (bento), into his bag and scurried off.

"Who was that, Syr?" An elven beauty, blonde hair, and blue eyes. This was Ryuu Lion, a waitress just like Syr. "An adventurer named Bell Cranel, a rookie mind you." "You bribed him with your breakfast haven't you?" Ryuu casted a gaze on her before Syr started to sweat. "Ah, would you look at that? It's almost time to open up!" She hurriedly went inside and cleaned the bar.

Location: Twilight Manor.

It felt like centuries until he heard them stop bickering. "Sorry about that. Our Goddess can be insensitive at sometimes." Riveria spoke in a regal tone.

"No worries." He waved her off. It was his fault for even spitting out his abilities to them."My offer still stands! I have this feeling that having you around here would be entertaining." Loki had a cheshire grin.

"Can I act solo, if you deem it so?" He spoke his mind. While he did fight well in groups, he was more of a solo fighter at most, cause that's when he unveils his true potential. 

"I don't have a problem with that. Only 3 rules, you must at least take one other person from the familia to watch over you. Second, you must join our exhibitions down to the lower floors if you prove to be lvl 2 or higher. Third, no attacking others in our familia. That is the biggest rule we have. Anything else to add onto the agreement?" It was fair, however he wanted one other thing.

"May I repay the Sword Princess and Bell Cranel of the Hestia familia?" He knew Aiz was strong, so perhaps she wanted to spar with him a bit. Bell on the other hand was without a doubt weak, but he will grow strong when he helps him. "Itty-bitty is down in Orario? And how do you intend to repay their kindness?" Loki was getting amused.

"A spar if the Sword Princess is up to it. And I would train Bell Cranel. He may be a rookie, however, he has the potential of being a formidable adventurer." Aiz snapped her head towards Loki as in pleading to say yes.

"Deal. Now strip." For some reason, he wanted to summon a particular persona just to scar the Goddess. The others gave them his privacy.

...

"What? My falna is being rejected. Are you sure you don't have another God you are working for?" She was a bit irritated.

"The only other God I have come into contact is Hestia-sama." He felt the sharpness of a knife on his back. "Hm...I guess we can try another way. This isn't going to hurt..."

How welcoming. In the end, she put a false falna on him. "That should at least let you get in the Dungeon without the advisors asking. If they do, call upon Finn, Gareth or Riveria here." Loki sat beside him before turning towards him.

"Now, mind telling me how you died?" His face contorted into shock. "When I tried to place my falna, I could see your memories. Every single memory. How do you still smile after all that?" All he knew was that he was fine with dying for Humanity- no, his family, SEES. He would do so again. He loved and cherished them dearly.

"It was all for them. They gave me these...feelings back, I had to. I wouldn't have it any other way." He was selfish, selfish for only sacrificing himself for them to shield them.

"There must have been another way." Loki shouted in anger. She was getting emotional. "And the price to save them was your life?" She grew melancholic and wrapped her arms around him. He flinched at her embrace.

They had stayed like that for a few more minutes.

...

Bell was currently in the 5th floor, taking on a gang of goblins. Since he had his falna updated his stats had improved quite a bit. In fact, he got a skill too! His Goddess said it was unheard of. It was called - Hero's Will. It would boost his stats passively everytime he struck a monster. It was currently sitting at 1.3× effectiveness. And he should say, it was definitely carrying him a tad. Oh, he had cut the goblins head off...oops.

"So cool! I need to tell Goddess about this. Time to head back to the guild." He figured he should take it easy today.

End of chapter.
