"Do you have everything you need for the dungeon?" 

Hestia asked as she was cooking in the makeshift kitchen she and Bell had in the run-down church. Three days came and went in a flash as she looked over her shoulder to see Bell fitting the armor he purchased a while ago and looking at himself in the mirror.

He was posing a bit and turning around to check if the armor fitted him well or if he needed to adjust some straps. His underclothing was prominently grey and black, while he still kept his brown boots on. The armor was what caught her eye as it matched Bell's hair and eyes and fitted him well.

White and red metal armor, strapped to his body with light grey straps. At his hips were the other odd armor pieces she still couldn't fathom of why the smith made them. Though she had to admit the usefulness as she watched him adjust his new dagger from the guild and a small side pouch inside them.

'Putting aside how odd they look, they do at least prove useful on being a guard for his weapon and pouch to prevent theft. Still...what was it he couldn't tell me when he returned back from his shopping with that Shakti captain?' 

She thought as a small pout came on her lips. Remembering the day she had off and wanted to visit her job to at least get a few Jagamaru's for free with her employee discount to surprise Bell when he came back. She thought she was imagining things when Bell walked amongst the crowd with that woman carrying a unconscious body on her shoulder.

Though with much questioning and worrying that night when he returned, with plenty of cooked meals for the both of them. Hestia got her answers and was relieved that she was helping her Bell be fully set for the dungeon and later on will get the rest of the armor set soon.

Pulling the small pan away from the stove's fire and shutting off the flame. She placed the simple breakfast they could afford on two plated on the table. Setting the pan back on the stove as she washed her hands and pulled back her long black hair to a low ponytail and sat down. Leaning on the table and resting her cheek on her fist as she smiled.

"Liking how you look in the armor?" Hestia teased as Bell turned with wide eyes and red on his cheeks as he hurried and sat down next to her.

"I-It fits well. Though it feels a bit awkward with these arm guards and hip armor." Bell said. Looking down at his arms and turning them to see the armor before he looked down at the small plate of bacon and eggs.

"Well you said you weren't going in too deep in the dungeon right?"

"No, I was going to stick around for the first through fourth floor. Get used to wearing this armor and testing it out a bit. I should stop by Lord Miach's pharmacy to stock on supplies before I go." Bell said as Hestia looked up to him and patted his head.

"Good, even though Miach's supplies might not be up to what that Doctor Nurse Airmid's Familia can make. But they're perfect for the upper floors. It's best you save her potion kit she gave you for a later date or if you plan to go further down." She chimed as she pulled her hand back and grabbed her knife and fork.

"But for now, let's start the day off with a nice breakfast."

"Yes Goddess. Thank you for the food." Bell smiled as he clasped his hands in a prayer before indulging into the meal made by Hestia. The two of them smiled and enjoyed their time together and eating their meal before they finished it quickly. Taking time together to clean the table and wash the dishes together before Hestia saw Bell off as he headed into the city.

Bell's eyes were focused on heading to Miach's Pharmacy. Not caring how many people's gazes were turned to him briefly as his hair and armor glowed in the early morning sun's rays. Ether catting people's attention or blinding them for a moment, he was focused on heading there for supplies.
