The Red-eye Rabbit: Danmachi AU

Chapter 11: Again?

Babel Tower: Freya

Freya stood before a bookshelf, her hand running along the spines of the texts before her, looking for one specific item. She finally found the one and pulled it from the row of aged books, smiling down at the brown cover. She called out "Otar!" and looked as the greatest adventurer in Orario walked into her room. She smiled as she walked over to him and handed him the book, saying, "Would you be a dear and get this book to the one I've been watching?" He looked down at her and then looked at the cover of the book that had been handed to him. Otar raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wouldn;t it be best to give him something stronger if you want him to be yours?" Freya smiled and said, "Oh no, if he is truly capable than that should be enough." Freya waltzed back to her couch before laying on the lavish piece of furniture and saying, "It will be so much more entertaining to see how this goes." 

Orario Streets: Bell

Bell was walking through the relatively crowded streets of the city, eyes lightly looking around for a way to get out of the crowd and take a quicker route to the guildhall. He finally spotted a curving alleyway and darted into it, stretching his arms at his newfound space. Bell moved through the alley and looked up at the sky, seeing how it was starting to get dark he decided he should pick up his pace to not be late. Bell started jogging at a decent pace enjoying his surroundings. As Bell rounded a corner his reactions kicked in and he flipped to the side and barrel-rolled through the air. As he did he heard someone scream "AH!" and saw a box get thrown up into the air. Bell landed and jumped forward, catching the small white box in his hands. 

Bell stood from his crouch and turned to face the bystander. He looked at the person before him and was slightly surprised to see a girl with whitish hair in a green maid outfit and white apron, her eyes a dull silver. She was in a rather comical position, her hands raised and her body pulled back from him. Bell held out the white box to her and she slowly lowered her arms and reached out for it, taking it in her arms. She looked down at it and puffed her cheeks slightly, as if a little annoyed at something. She looked back up from the box and smiled at Bell and said, "Nice reflexes and moves, you must be an adventurer, huh?" Bell smiled back and said, "Something of the sort, yes."

The two smiled at each other, the alley was almost brightened from these two alone, yet there was still a sense of danger lamented over the entire area, it was thick that some people nearby actually shivered. The girl sighed after a little and held out her hand while saying, "My name's Syr, friend, and you gave me quite the fright." Bell shrugged and took her hand while replying with, "My name's Bell Cranel, and it wasn't my intent to scare you."  The girl giggled and said, "Well, you should make it up to me by coming over to the inn I work at for dinner." Bell gave a bit of a wobbly smile and said, "I-isn't that just you coercing me?" The girl kept her bright smile and just said, "Maybe! But you owe me for almost dropping my food and scaring me." Bell didn't even have a chance to finish his next sentence as she let go of his hand, which he didn;t realize he was still holding, and began skipping off. As she was leaving she said, "See you later, Mr. Bell~"

Bell waved with a wobbly smile as she skipped off, just who was that girl to assume that he was going... it's not like it would hurt to check the inn out. 

Babel Tower Base:

Bell arrived at the base of the dungeon, though before he entered the dungeon he looked around him for that little supporter. He spotted her at the back edge of the crowd of adventurers and easily weaved his way through the much thinner crowd than compared tot he street. He emerged from the crowd beside the unknowing supporter. He tapped her on the shoulder and she jumped while turning to see him, a little yelp escaping her mouth. Bell smiled and waved while saying "Hello little supported, how are you?" Lily had one hand over her heart and sighed, whispering under her breathe, "where did he come from?" before she spoke up and said, "Hello, Mr. Cranel, I am doing well." Bell smiled and asked, "Are you ready to go?" To be completely honest, she didn't want to, but, she needed to, today was the day it happened. But, she smiled and replied with "Yes sir!"
