Power Built In Sorrow (Male Reader Insert)

Chapter 19

- Bell wakes up and sees you sitting down on the sofa. He carefully looks at you, noticing your tired eyes. -

"What happened to you (Y/N)?" He asks, worried at the condition he sees you in

"N-nothing!" You lie, not wanting to cause more trouble for the Familia

"Well... if you say so. Anyways! I'm going to the Dungeon with Lili! Want to join us?" He says, dismissing his suspicions and getting ready for the day

"Yeah! I just need to relax a bit..." You say, before dozing off

"Geez. What did you do last night? Anyways, let's not disturb him. Lili is probably waiting for me in the dungeon." Bell says, wondering why you stayed up so late

<Timeskip>

"Bell... Thank you for hiring me. Where's (Y/N)?" Lili asks

"He was up all night looking for something. Now he's too tired to go to the dungeon." Bell explains, scratching the back of his head

"Oh. By the way, Bell, I don't see that Knife of yours." She says, wondering if the pendant was why (Y/N) stayed up all night but quickly dismissed it, and asked Bell about the Knife instead

"Yeah. I put it in here, so I won't drop it again." Bell says, gently caressing the bracer Eina gifted him before slightly pulling the Knife out

"Did you~?" Lili says, wondering how to steal the Knife again

"Anyway, you sure you don't want any money for the contract?" Bell asks, feeling that what he's paying her isn't enough

"Yes. Since you're alone, distributing the loot isn't that complicated. And... That's better for you, too, isn't it?" Lili answers, which startles Bell a little at how the girl thinks

"Okay, let's go! If you do your best, there'll be no problem at all!" She continues, changing the conversation

"Y-yeah..." Bell meekly answers, still confused at the sudden change of topic

"How far should we go today?" Lili asks as they walk deeper into the dungeon

"Let me see..." Bell ponders

<Timeskip>

[With You]

- You jolt awake from the nightmare you just experience. You can feel cold sweat dripping down your body. -

"I need to find that pendant!" You say, having the nightmares of the last time that you lost a pendant

- You quickly wore your armor. Wanting to get started on the searching, so the nightmares and fear would cease -

[With Freya]

- Freya sits on top of the Babel tower. Looking at the sunset. She walks over to the edge and looks down, seeing Bell with Lili. She moans slightly at the sight of Bell -

"This is no good... I was going to just watch him for a while. But I just want to play with you." She happily says, walking over to the back where there are bookshelves, she pulls out a book

"You're going to show me the power that sleeps within you." She says, looking carefully at the book

[With Hestia]

- Hestia walks back home. Walking lazily from the exhaustion in working at one of Hephaestus' shops -

"I made it through another day. Even if it's to repay the loan... I'm a Goddess, and she's still so harsh." She says, exhausted, re-considering the offer you made for her, she comes to a halt to quickly catch her breath
