After a night of celebration for the return of Bell Cranel, many traveled back to their homes, some drunk and others supporting the drunks. Still, nevertheless, it was a night to remember, especially as many saw Bell back to how he once was, with a pure smile, talking with all his friends.

At the same time, they were taken aback by how different a person can change after a tragic event, remembering how Bell was on the battlefield with his mask, massacring the army of Rakia and Evilus.

They felt terrible to admit it. They were scared of the one they called a friend. Seeing him tonight brought hope to all, thinking they could have the kind boy back for good.

Orario

As the night passed, the sunrise brought a new day to Orario as many woke up to start their morning, some opening up their shops, some adventurers marching on to the Dungeon, but for our Rabbit, he had an exciting morning.

Bell, stuck in a deep sleep, lay on the bed until he felt a ray of light hit his face, causing the boy to begin waking up.

Moving one of his hands to rub his eyes, he felt a massive headache begin to affect him, causing him to get up quickly. he barely moved as he felt a weight on top of his chest.

Bell: What the...

Beginning to open his eyes, he was shocked this wasn't his room at the top of Babel or the room he stays at when he trains at Folkvangr. Still, looking at the walls and ceiling, he knew that it was a room at the Hostess of Fertility. At least he knew where he was, but there was still one question who was under the blanket on top of him?

Hostess of Fertility

Seconds passed by, and the Nerves got to him, nervous about who would be under the blanket until the moment he decided to finally lift it to where he found

Bell: R-Ryuu!

(Really, who do you think was under there, Mama Mia...you know what new one-shot idea... Nevermind)

Looking at the Elf, he could see her beginning to wake up, rubbing her eyes as Bell moved the sheets, showing her face and exposing her to the morning light.

Ryuu: Bell

laying there calmly, she didn't show the slightest bit of discomfort. She looked comfy, unlike Bell, who was a complete mess

Bell: R-Ryuu, why are we in the same bed? Where's my shirt? No...What happened last night

Ryuu showed a worried look that scarred Bell, making him even more nervous

Bell: Ryuu, what happened last night

Ryuu: Y-you were drinking last night

He let out a deep sigh of relief

Bell: Drinking that's not that bad, right? Wait, I was drinking?

Ryuu: Yes, but it wasn't your fault

Bell: How?

Ryuu: Hermes

With that one name, he understood what must have happened

Bell: I didn't do anything crazy while I was drinking, right

Ryuu: ...

nothing was said

Bell: Nothing crazy, right Ryuu

Ryuu: ...Well
