Chapter 54. Artemis's Quest

Artemis immediately ran towards me and spread her arms wide but I stopped her before she reached me by giving her a headpat and a smile "well hello there, you and I are going to have a little conversation in a little bit okay?".

Artemis actually pouted at not been awed to hug me but nodded, Hestia was gaping at her not really believing what she was seeing so she immediately approached Artemis and began to question her, Bell walked up to me along with rest of our Familia knowing that something was going "is it serious?".

I gave him a nod to let him know that the situation we found ourselves in was a very complicated complicated one which made a small worried frown to appear on his face "yes, gather everyone and go back to the mansion, I'll join you all in a bit and becareful of Hermes, he doesn't seem too happy that I got in the way of you pulling out the spear".

Bell discreetly moved his gaze towards Hermes and noticed he was frowning while staring at me who was holding the spear in oneif my hands, he was obviously unhappy of my interference andit showed "what's his problem?".

I sighed not knowing how to answer that question without revealing a lot of stuff I don't want to ever explain "I'm not sure, all I know is that he's been skulking around the mansion and asking about you to the Guild, luckly Ouranos seems to have all of our information on lock down so he can't get anything from the Guild".

Bell nodded and discreetly signaled everuonethat the were going home "alright then we'll see you at the mansion".

With that said Bell gathered everyone except Hestia who was talking to Artemis and left to go back home and wait gormeto get there.

Hermes was upset, he was sure Bell was going to be able to pull the spear out but he was stopped by Rean and he himself pulled the spear out, he thought this would be the perfect opportunity to see what Bell is capable off but all of that was ruined by Rean's interference.

Rean Hayashi, just keeps making things hard for his plans, how is he supposed to witness Bell's ascension to Hero if he keeps getting helped by Rean, how is Bell supposed to go on adventures and get stronger?.

Hermes was at a complete loss on what to do, Bell can't grow as a Hero without suffering or experiencing hardship, if things keep going this way Bell will never reach his full potential but right now he has to push that aside and continue with his plan otherwise that monster rampaging about outside of Orario might just destroyed the world.

So with great reluctance Hermes approached Rean, Hestia and Artemis to offer an explanation to what really is going on.

I immediately noticed when Hermes began to approach us, I stare at him as he walked over with that fake smile on his on his face, I can feel the anger and frustration rolling off of him so I know he doesn't really want to talk to us right now but it seems that the situation didn't allow him to just ignore us.

Hermes then stopped in front of me and began to fake cheer as he spoke to me "well! you pulled out the spear from its crystal prison Rean, I must admit that I'm surprised... only someone of pure of heart is supposed to pull it out".

I frowned at him knowing full well about that particular condition which seemed specifically tailored specifically for Bell, he's the only one known in Orario to have a pure soul after all, it was even stated by Freya in the anime and the manga that Bell's soul was unique because of this.

I also knew that he was obviously taking a jab towards me, I know I'm not pure of heart and os does he, so I stared into Hermes's eyes "if you have something to say, say it this passive aggressive insulting of yours is rather boring and annoying".

Hermes frowned and opened his eyes "I didn't mean to insult... I was merely pointing out my own curiosity to how the events played out".

Hestia turn towards Hermes and frowned "Hermes, what exactly is going? Artemis isn't behaving like usual she's acting very weird! in fact it's like she's a completely different person!".
