Danmachi: Blue Version

Is it wrong for a Rabbit to have a cheat skill?

"Bell...do you have everything you need?" Hestia had told him earlier that she had to attend a meeting of the gods, hosted by the God Ganesha. "I have everything I need Goddess. How long will the meeting last, may I ask?" Bell checked his gear once more before nodding to himself. "Should be about two days, don't go looking for adventures you got me?" She said with a stern expression. "No promises, have fun Goddess!"

"I'm off!"

"I wonder what I should do for these couple of days..." Bell was mindlessly walking around town and before he knew it, he was standing right in front of the Hostess of Fertility. Syr was sweeping the front with a small smile...which turned wider when she saw him. "Ah, Bell-kun! You haven't stopped by in a while, not even yesterday. You are truly a heartbreaker aren't you? Leaving me alone..."

...Guilt tripper? "I was caught up in another Minotaur attack. Luckily I killed it! Although...my guild dagger broke after that." Syr seemed to be surprised before ushering him inside. "Let's talk for a bit, shall we?" Her smile had a dark aura. Sometimes he never understood women...

...

"Blue-kun! Are you ready yet? Come on, hurry up!" She was more rambunctious than Yuko. Impatient, yet energetic. He missed those times.

"And to where are you going to lead me to?" As soon as he opened up his door, he was grabbed like a toy being hoisted up and carried like a plank. "You haven't seen the rest of Orario, se let's go!" Tiona had eventually let him go.

Tione could only pray to her Goddess that her sister could be a normal girl for once.

...

"Oh? So your Goddess is attending the meeting?" Syr had placed a cup of water in front of him. "Mhm, although she told me to not go on any adventures for two days." Syr perked up with slight glint in her eyes. However, before she made any moves whatsoever - her dear friend Ryuu Lion had intervened. "We still have our night shift duty still. You can wait until tomorrow. I'm sorry for any inconvenience Mr.Cranel." The elf slightly bowed, unknown to her, Bell had grabbed Ryuu's hands not knowing any customs that elves had, which was not touching their person unless given permission.

"No need to worry Miss Ryuu, I'm sure I have kept both of you from working, I am sorry. Here." He put down a small bag of valis on the table and made haste out of the doors.

"Ryuu? Are you alright?" Syr had forgotten to tell Bell that elves didn't liked to be touched. Ryuu turned towards her with a look of confusion yet...heart warming. "I..."

"Stop standing around, Ryuu, Syr, you have work to do!" Mia Grand had shouted at the both of them, before taking the small bag of valis. 'The kid is too kind...he should've at least taken a small lunch pack.' She sighed, he reminded her of...

Meteria. A woman she long since haven't thoughten about. It was weird how Bell had the same snow white hair, gentle air, and would be kind to anyone.

...His eyes were crimson though...

Wait...! She had connected the dots...Bell was Meteria's son...Meteria had a sister...Alfia or otherwise known as 'Silence'. Bell could very well be a strong ally or enemy if he were to know about the past.

But it didn't make any sense, she knew Loki and her Goddess, Freya had banished Hera and Zeus's familia almost a decade ago...but they hadn't banished the child who wasn't even born.

She only hoped that her Goddess wasn't interested in Bell.

How unsettling.

...

"And this is where we get some of our armor and weapons from!" Tiona had dragged him to Babel, a tower that had a lot shops for smiths. Evidently, Goddess Hephaestus owned a large smithing familia. Of course, she also partook in smithing as well, having made armor durable for High class adventurers and for some of the well known familias such as his Goddess Loki too.

"Hm..." He grew deep in thought, he could perhaps make a custom order for Bell Cranel. He didn't forget how he held his sword like a certain Heroic Persona. "Tiona-san, thank you."

"What for?" She smiled at him. "For showing me around. I would've never of thought to come to Babel for weapons and the such. So, thank you." He held out his hand, to which she took and embraced him into a hug.

"Ha...I should be thanking you. You never once turned away from me, nor even gazed your eyes to some of my feminine attributes. You are a natural charmer, Blue-kun." She was estactic. She felt her world brighten up a little more, even more so with this hug.

"We should probably get back home, knowing Aiz she would want to spar some more. Care to join us?"

"You're on, Blue-kun!"

...

Bell had a dream that night...one that only grew his arsenal much more powerful.

'So you are my nephew?' He could see a woman with white hair, the same snow white hair, her eyes closed, with a small smile. 'You may not know me, Bell, but I know you. You are my sister's child. Her only child. I regret not even seeing you grow up, but I wouldn't have it any other way.' He was about to speak before she flicked him on the forehead. 'Listen, this is very well a dream to you, yet you should know, this is a spell I had used on you when you were just a baby. This is merely a projection of me talking to you. As such, I am giving you a gift, a skill unlike anyone else's. It is called Copying. I cannot say anything more. Farewell, Nephew.'

He wope up with a startle, tears freshly dripping of his eyes. She never said her own name, was it because she didn't want him to know what her name was? He could only ponder...

And done. Again, sorry for the inconvenience of my mistake of pushing the publishing misclick.

So how do you guys and gals think? Interesting? Tame? Satisfaction?

Tell me with some comments, damn it! I love reading comments.

Bye bye.

Baka.
