Bell awoke the next day feeling a little groggy, but most of it was due to have only just woken up so he got up from his bed and went for a shower. Bell had his shower in the bathroom beside his room before going back to his room wrapped in a towel and opening the closet to pull out his backpack. Bell opened the zipper before pulling on some black pants and a short-sleeved black shirt and the light green and black jacket he wore on his first day in Orario, which was only a week ago. Bell threw the jacket on before heading downstairs for breakfast. Bell didn't see Hestia in the kitchen so he instead went over to the hotel foyer to order breakfast. Bell ordered the simple breakfast before returning to his place and waiting in the dining room. As Bell waited for breakfast the door down the hallway opened and a tired Hestia walked out while stretching and yawning.
Hestia walked down the hallway until she came to the bathroom and entered it, Bell assumed for a shower. Bell waited for five minuted until he heard a bell ring throughout the house and walked to the door to find a waiter with two silver trays in his hands. Bell wondered how the man would've rung the doorbell but shook the thought from his head as the man walked into the house and placed the silver platers on the table. Bell thanked the butler as he left before moving over to the table and beginning to eat. The meal was simple bacon and eggs with toast and sauce. Bell ate through the meal and Hestia soon came from the bathroom in her usual white skirt, though now she had wet hair under a towel.
She sat down opposite Bell and pulled the silver platter over to herself and pulled the lid off. She began eating her simple breakfast as Bell stood and walked over to the sink. Bell washed his plate before placing it at the drying rack and moving back to the table. Hestia was most of the way through her meal but she seemed much more energetic. Bell sat and waited until she had finished. Hestia finished her breakfast with a satisfied "Ahhhh~" Before looking at Bell and smiling happily. She then said, "So, Bell, you ready to go out and get you some clothes?" Bell smiled and replied with, "Yep, Though if it's alright with you I'd like to stop by the guild to get some money first. I'll trade in my magic stones, OH! I'd also like to go armour shopping while we're out." Hestia smiled at his reply and said, "That's fine."
The two then moved over to the door where Bell put on some heavy shoes that matched his coat before they moved out. They walked through the streets of Orario, admiring some views before they arrived at the front of the guild. Bell entered the building and walked to the crystal exchange and handing over the bag of crystals he harvested from the dungeon. Bell was impressed to see that overall he made about 50,000 Valis from the trade. As Bell left him and Hestia walked down to the market district where he would buy some clothes. They arrived and browsed through some nice stores and bought Bell some casual clothes and also a single formal suit that was a black vest with a slight butler tail with a white button-up shirt, a bowtie and long black pants, much like a butler's suit. Though the reason for the butler look was that Bell wished to have some extra housing space for weapons if he ever had to wear the suit. The two then left from the clothes part of the market district and sat down for some lunch.
The two enjoyed themselves as they ate a simple meal at the cafe before getting up and heading for Babel tower to buy some armour for Bell. The two moved through the crowd until a sudden cry called out, "HESTIA! HESTIA!" The two shoppers looked over and saw a man behind a food stand that was waving for them to come over. The two walked over to the man and he lowered his arm. As the two shoppers enjoying their day stopped before him the man behind the stall let out a sigh and said, "Thank the gods you're here Hestia, I need some help with the customers as I've been getting a lot more tody for some odd reason." Hestia looked at the shop manager with a sudden aghast expression before it turned dreary and she said, "Really? Do I have to help you?"
The man, who was clearly Hestia's boss, looked at her and said, "Sorry! I just really need you and you're good at dealing with customers. Look, I'll pay you extra for working on your day off, how bout that?" Hestia stiffened at the mention of extra pay, but she turned to Bell to check with him. Bell just shrugged before saying, "Don't worry about it. Besides, you'd probably think armour shopping is boring since it'll probably take me a while to find some stuff and then I'll have to examine it then barter and the like."
