Danmachi my way: Volume 1

Chapter 14 Dungeon Dive

Bell and Lefiya entered, and while Bell used Ki to help him like last time, the effects of the dungeon's mental attacks were far less effective than before, however, despite that there were still some effects as Bell's mind and body still felt the effects to some extent even if it's lessened and easier to handle, so as Bell was getting his bearing's in while holding himself up by holding his kneed to force himself to stand, it was here that Lefiya gave Bell some advice as a veteran Adventurer.

Lefiya:" okay, using Ki helps a lot, now then, breathe for a few seconds, take deep breaths and calm down, it helps a lot, now focus on me.

Bell did as Lefiya said, and while looking at her, he couldn't help but notice just how beautiful she was, her dark, smooth skin in contrast to her shimmering golden hair as it flowed elegantly even in the dungeon, her golden and blue eyes that were her most standing out part of her, adding a type of uniqueness to her already incredible beauty, even her breast which as his angle due to needing to hold himself up by his knees, and despite only having C cup Breast, for her "age" they were still quite big for an elf, and enough for Bell to notice, and what he was was definitely cute as Lefiya looked just like an innocent and pure maiden and is truly a princess who any man would kill to be theirs.

Bell couldn't look Lefiya in the eyes as she asked him why he looked away, unbeknownst to Lefiya at first, namely due to the fact her mind was still technically still that of a 5-year-old, Lefiya was slow to catch on to Bell seeing her in a sexual way, this is the biggest issue with Elves who get a Dunamis past 20, their hormones and mental age fluctuates between the ages their suppose to be for an elf and what their bodies age is, like never-ending puberty in a sense, a hell in of itself without serious efforts to adjust to it.

while Lefiya was slow to catch on, she eventually did find out what Bell was thinking, and being the elder she was compared to him, and because of elven pride for her knowing she was beautiful and desired after by many men, she decided to make light jabs at Bell for this for her own amusement, in Lefiya's mind, if Bell was making it THIS easy, it would be a crime not to take the opportunity to use it to poke fun at him.

(and yes, this is going to be the mentality of many people, including Artemis and Athena, who while not seeking a man, still take pride in their appearance and have a sense of humor)

Lefiya:"... (smerk) well, I didn't think you would see me like this, but then again, it's normal for a boy going through puberty to feel that way"

Bell:" I'm sorry Lady Lefiya I-"

Bell was frantic and panicked, waving his arms in front of him, blushing red to his entire face while steaming hot, and mincing his words, not helped by the fact the dungeon was also messing with his mind to break him mentally by putting Lefiya in suggestive and seductive clothing asking why he's lusting after Lefiya so much as a way to have Bell let his guard down. 

(a very common occurrence in the dungeon actually to distract men with hallucinations of things like sex, naked mortals, and other thing's that turn them on since it would be hard to fight while fully erect, I think, I don't know, but it would be harder in the dungeon, no pun intended)

Lefiya:" relax Bell, I'm joking, also, did you see hallucinations of me in suggestive clothing"

Bell:" (panicked flinch) WHA-"

Lefiya:" relax, it's normal in the dungeon to see stuff like that, the dungeon messes with your mind to make you drop your guard, that way you're easier to kill, and stuff like that has been stuff I deal with for 30 years, at first I was offended, but over time, you learn to deal with it, namely because it's the dungeon trying to get you and your team or Familia killed"

Bell was anxious about it, but then monsters came, he fought them as Lefiya casted a spell, taking out the monster party faster than Bell could have ever hoped to do on his own, and the further down they went, the stronger the monsters got, but with Lefiya by his side, it was a cake walk of a trip, it was different with a mage in the party is what Bell thought, any time he was hurt, Lefiya would heal his wounds, her spells helped wipe out large groups in an instant, and due to being by Bell's side, his mental problems were eased by her as well since she knew how to deal with this, he then saw what a veteran Adventurer was like, remembering Lefiya was indeed a level 3, but then he looked at her clothing, namely her skirt while he and she were climbing up something and couldn't help but almost look up her skirt in doing so.
