danmachi : the journey of a hero ( volume 17 fancfic )

Dropping the veil(7)

In an empty street in Orario , with only moonlight illuminating the road. the white hair boy and golden hair girl were  looking at each other. the expression on the girl's Face was really distorted.

Bell:" A Ais ... san?" 

after hearing bell's question she   went deep in her memories , the memories that hunted her all those years , the memories of her childhood and her parents beeing consumed by the black flames. 

Ais then gets her attention back and turns to the direction of the boy who was worried about her

Bell:" is everything alright?"

Ais:" yeah , i just remembered something"

Ais:" did you see his name in some book ?"

Bell:" well my grandfather used to tell me stories about heros , and Albert is the one that i admire the most"

Ais smiles :" i see, i admire him too"

Bell :" do you know him ? also his name is weldstain and yours is walenstain , they sound close, is he  one of your relatives?"

Ais eyes widened she didnt think he would investigate her background:" yeah , you can say that"

Bell :" must be cool , one of your relatives been a famous hero that you can look up to be like him in the future!"

Ais with heavy voice :" but he died to the one eyed dragon" and then her expressions stiffened

Ais:" one day ! i ll slay that dragon! no matter what it takes!" with an angry voice 

bell:" A Ais?"

Bell was shocked because its the first time he see Ais like this with this rage

( he must have ment alot to her , that she wants to get revenge on one eyed dragon )

Bell:" is that why you want to get stronger ?"

Ais:" yeah" then she returnes to her usual face expressions.

Bell then get his courage up and look with determined eyes to her 

Bell:" then i ll get far more stronger too ,and when the time comes i ll  be with you and fight that dragon together!"  and with that ,it was a wierd declaration that came from his mouth.

Ais eyes widened (those eyes , pure determination , but what is this feeling?) she was happy because it was the first time someone talk with her like this , moreover about her goal of being an adventurer

Ais( his  words and expressions ,it reminds me with father , his kindness is just like mother, Bell , you really are an amazing person) 

Ais lost words for a while , she didnt know why her heart was beating faster , for the first time in several years , she felt something different , the feelings that she tought she lost or get rid off , are returing back a little.

Bell brain stopped thinking ( whaaaat ,... i just said!..... what she thinks am a wierd guy !)

a deep silence between them  then she fixed her gaze on bell 

Ais :" thank you bell , you really are a kind person that i admire alot"

Bell face became pink :" y.. you really dont need to  thank me , i admire you alot  too" 

Bell :" lets get stronger then , so  you can achieve your goal"

Ais:" yeah"

Ais smiles , moonlight reflexed on her face ,it was the birghtest smile he ever saw on her face .
