Aiz really could not understand what the hell was happening to her. For some time now, to be exact, ever since she started training the young adventurer dubbed Little Rookie, she felt... strange, really strange. Every time she met the white-haired, red-eyed boy who looked more like a rabbit than anything else, her heart did not beat at a normal pace, in fact, the warm organ started to beat twice or even three times faster than normal, something totally abnormal and completely beyond her comprehension. This worsened after the party organized by the now nonexistent Apollo familia, where she and the boy shared a dance together, courtesy of Hermes and Asti.

Other things that made her very confused was the fact that whenever she was near the young adventurer, Bell Cranel, her face suddenly began to warm up for unknown reasons and she was unable to keep her face blank, since a small smile would always involuntarily appear on her face while on his company. To her luck, it was something almost imperceptible, and rarely would someone get a glimpse of such act. To her own shock, there were also times when she stuttered in the presence of the boy.

If any other adventurer witnessed such a scene, they would go into a state of shock and consider whether what they saw, or rather heard, was some kind of hallucination or just their imagination.

After all, Aiz Wallenstein never stutters.

At least not in front of people who do not belong to her familia or who are not close to her.

These "abnormal sensations'' as she decided to call it, made her worried, maybe she was sick and all this was the symptoms of said sickness beginning to appear? That thought made her a little uneasy, and that was the main reason she'd talked to what many in the Loki familia playfully called ''mother'', a woman who held enormous magic power and was one of the most powerful members of the Loki familia, the green haired elf, Riveria.

Being the person Aiz most trusted and also her best friend, Aiz had no hesitation in telling what was happening to her. As always, the green-haired elf was very attentive, listening to the whole story from beginning to end without interrupting her once, which the blonde was always grateful for. At first, the mage showed an expression of concern, but as Aiz's story progressed, Riveria's expression shifted to one of understanding.

As soon as she finished describing everything that had been going on with her in the last few months, she waited for her friend's response, waiting for some sort of wise advice or solution to her weird problem.

After a few moments of silence, a small noise was heard. Aiz was then surprised to see that the noise came from Riveria, who had been quiet for a few seconds,and suddely began to laugh, almost so much that Aiz seriously wondered if tears would start to form in her eyes.

Of course, after emerging from her shocked state, the young warrior was angry and embarrassed to see the elf laughing directly in front of her, which caused a light and lovely little pout to form on her pink lips.

Seeing Aiz's pounting and with her face red from embarassment, Riveria was finally able to recover from her crisis of laughter, straightened her posture, and cleared her throat.

''You can rest assured that this is not a fatal disease or a dangerous one, but that is not something I can help you with, Aiz. That...'stuff' you're feeling when you're near the white rabbit ... That's something you need to understand and draw a conclusion on your own." Riveria spoke calmly. She then turned her back to one of the most powerful adventurers Of Orario and looked over her shoulder.

'' But you know, maybe it was fate's work to make your and this boy's path cross. '' Saying those words, Riveria let out a small laugh and began to walk away from her companion. Deep inside, she was happy that Aiz was finally starting to experiment normal things for a girl her age, even if said girl did not know what exactly those feelings are, the elf still considered it a great advancement.

''Bell Cranel...is it? I'll have to give my thanks to this young man sometime in the near future.", And with those thoughts, Riveria abandoned her friend's company and returned to her quarters.

Aiz, who was still standing in the same place with a look of confusion, blinked. She could not understand the meaning behind Riveria's words.

Something she would have to figure out on her own? Fate being responsible for making the two of them cross paths? She really did not understand any of this, but still, she would trust her friend's words, after all, Riveria's advice was always correct and helped her in many crucial moments, so if she said the best thing to do is for her to search for the answer by herself, that's exactly what she would do, and to be able to find that answer the first thing she should do was...

"I need to face the person who causes those strange sensations in me ...", she concluded.

With that decision made, the sword princess left the property of the Loki familia, her destiny, the new home of the Hestia familia, where a certain young man with white hair and rabbit like appearence lived.

AN: Yes, my first story to this fandom, I just love Danmachi and the light novels are so good! So why not start with a short story? But believe it or not, it took me more than a month and a half to write barely 1,000 words. Life has been chaotic right now since I'm working in a cruise ship again. If there's someone who is reading this that also works in a cruise ship, you guys know how stressful and busy it is since we work every day from 12 to 13 hours, not counting the safety trainings and other things(crew party sometimes too lol)

As for this story... Probably going to be a two or three shot and yes, the pairing will be strictly Bell x Aiz, no, they're not my favorite pairing, I prefer Bell x Hestia, Bell x Lili or Bell x Ryu, heck I even prefer Bell x Aisha!(By the way, I do want to make a Bell x Aisha short story in the future hehehe) but I like their interactions and they do make a nice couple. Still unsure if I'll do lemons since I'm trying to stay away from them for a while.

Well that's it, see you all in the next chapter!
