Outside the Dian Chet Familia hospital, Bell finally stepped into the warm morning sunlight, a sense of relief washing over him as the fresh air filled his lungs. Several familiar faces eagerly surrounded him, their chatter blending into a lively symphony of concern and excitement. Each girl seemed determined to be the first to check on him, their hands tugging lightly at his sleeves or playfully brushing his shoulder.

The nurses had thoughtfully provided Bell with some temporary clothes since his usual attire was now too snug to wear. He donned a plain white shirt, its fabric soft and slightly loose, giving him an air of casual simplicity. The shirt paired with a set of knee-length denim shorts that fit just right, a welcome change from his usual adventuring gear. To complete the look, they gave him a pair of sturdy brown sandals, the straps snug against his feet.

Alise: Awww, you just look so adorable!

Her voice was brimming with excitement as she crouched down to Bell's level, her vibrant red hair swaying slightly with the movement. A playful grin spread across her face as she reached out, gently poking at his cheeks like he was a stuffed toy.

Bell: U-Uhm...

His soft stammer was accompanied by a faint blush, his crimson eyes darting to the side in embarrassment.

Alise: *Smile* They told me you don't remember anything huh? Well, that's okay! You can call me Alise. Alise-nee!

Her cheerful tone was warm and inviting, her smile radiating a sisterly energy that made her words all the more genuine.

Bell: A-Alise-nee?

The hesitant way he repeated her words, paired with his bashful expression, made Alise's eyes light up with joy.

Alise: Kyaaaa!! Adorable!

She clasped her hands together in mock delight, practically squealing with excitement. Before she could smother him further, however, Kaguya stepped in with a sigh.

Kaguya: Alright, that's enough. You've had your turn.

Kaguya grabbed the back of Alise's shirt with a firm tug, lifting her upright before smoothly pushing her aside. Alise pouted but didn't resist, giving a dramatic sigh as she stepped back.

Kaguya: Now then, Bell. I know you probably don't remember me either, but you used to call me Mistress Kaguya~

Her smirk was mischievous, her eyes glinting with amusement as she placed a hand on her hip. Unlike Alise, she didn't crouch down. Instead, she reached out to pat Bell's head, her fingers ruffling his soft white hair with deliberate affection.

Bell: M-Mistress–

Ryu: Kaguya! That's enough!

Ryu's sharp voice cut through the air, her tone filled with both exasperation and concern. She stepped forward, her teal eyes narrowing slightly as she placed a protective hand on Bell's shoulder.
