Good morning/afternoon/evening my fine ladies and gentlemen as well as others! How are you this fine day? So... Here's another chapter, I've been pretty busy so the chapters have been pumping out only once a week instead of once every 3-4 days as I've mentioned before. For that, I apologize! I'll try to write when I have time and I'm not busy, but at the very least I try to get some content out once a week. Without further ado here's the chapter!

As always reviews, feedback, comments, ideas and suggestions would really boost my motivation and capability to write you guys a story you would enjoy! And...

Thank you for reading, truly! and most importantly... Enjoy!

The atmosphere is, without a shadow of a doubt, suffocating. Bell standing frozen in a starring contest with the otherworldly beauty that is Ishtar herself. Not a muscle is moved nor voice escapes anyone's mouth in this instance.

Bell, well aware of how outmatched he truly is, encountering both a Level 3 and Level 4 in the same room.

"Welp, you're really in quite a pickle Bell! Especially when you didn't heed my advice!" The scaly roach decides to mention the obvious in his usual mocking tone, amused by Bell's predicament.

'Don't have to tell me twice... But, why are they not attacking me?' Bell echoes Merlin's thoughts in his head, as he narrows his eyes at the suspicious inactivity of his opponents. Both parties stuck in an impromptu starring contest.

Strangely, the superior parties inactivity, passive and apprehensive? nature didn't escape Bell's eyes.

'They're much stronger... Why are they not doing anything?!' Bell, frustrated at this prolonged and awkward situation roars out in his mind. He, being the weaker party, can not make any sudden moves to warrant a retaliatory strike.

While thoughts of that nature stir in Bell's mind, Ishtar decides to break the suffocating silence herself.

"Little Rookie, why are you here? We are busy and entry of another's Familia home, uninvited, is impolite and would call for punishment and sanctions to your Familia... But, in my kindness, I'll allow you to leave, go back down the staircase and back home... I'll even let Aisha lead you into the outskirts of the quarter." Ishtar stated with arrogance and mock benevolence, so fake in fact, even Bell could see right through it.

At her words, Bell raised his eyebrows in suspicion and surprise. What puzzled him, was how lenient her statement was, and why was she so nervous and why is she allowing him to leave? Such thoughts sang aloud in his mind, and before he could decline her offer as well as requesting of her to free Haruhime, Merlin provided some clarity to the situation.

"I see, I see... it seems your Number 5 is a snitch! Well then! Change of Plans!" The bane of all living beings mentioned in casual analysis, then, switching to his usual jolly tone as he loudly announced his... Change of plans?
