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

Decision of the Rabbit(4)

Bell kept crying while his head was down , he couldnt forgive himself.and now when Aiz came to ask him in such adventure he declined.then he remembered what helin  told him that night 

: ( this a warning not from freya-sama ,but from me , leave Orario or you and your familia will suffer very soon) 

He didnt imagine things was this complicated , and helin's warning came true... and he could only blame himself.

he makes a fist and look to the sky ; ( kami-sama , i want, i want to get stronger!)

Aiz went back to her familia house . for some reason the image of that boy stayed in her mind.

His helpless and desperate eyes kept bothering her ,( why he looked at me like that ? did something happened to him?) 

she found her way infront of discussion room of loki familia , but before she knocks she heard Riveria and Finn talking

Riveria:" yeah she wanted to bring Bell cranell"

Finn:" i cant allow that , not this time . last time we were just the 3 of us , so it wasnt  a problem if we added him , but this time we have to look after our familia members too , i cant take any risks"

Riveria:" but Finn ,all of us know that he is not an amateur , Aiz would really feel bad about this"

Finn:" it doesnt matter , i already made my decision , this journey is closed only for Loki familia , i dont want any other people to tag along!"

Riveria:" since when you became like this? you have changed Finn" then she angrily went out ,

When she went out she was halted because the person infront of the door was non other than Aiz . 

Finn looks at her then asks :" did you hear?"

Aiz gave Finn a cold gaze :" you dont have to worry , he refused my offer " then she looks back to Riveria 

Aiz:" sorry for the trouble Riveria " then Aiz walks away . the atmosphere which was really low and cold  moments age , went back to normal again , and other people who were in the room breathed a sigh. 

Finn turns to his desk and bit his tongue , because he knew what Riveria  said was right. 

Few days later Loki familia set out to inside the dungeon , they spread to several groupes, and were waiting infront of babel tower , Aiz looked back to the central park , she was looking for that familiar boy with white hair , She was imagining him coming running  with tired expressions of being late or at least passes by and tell her to be careful  , but no one was there. and she didnt noticed why she was angry about that .

Aiz( i guess he's really not coming) then she focused on the tower up ahead , until finn finished talking and they started walking.

Aiz( i really have a bad feeling about this , i need to finish this quickly and go talk to him)

*****************

few days after Loki familia  went on expidition, 

in hestia house , hestia tamekazi , and Miach were talking and the subject was denatus , they wanted to pick new good names for their children since many of them Leveled up after the expidition. 

there were few wierd suggestions , but when  hestia brought up bell subject they all focused

Miach:" congradulations hestia , bell getting level 5 surprised me alot , he is the fastest one in orario history as much as i remember "

Hestia :" thats what makes me worry more , and also he got this new magic and new wierd skill"

Tamekazu:" what kind of?"

Hestia :" the magic is a quick casting barrier , that nullifies magic attacks and reduce physical damage"

Miach was shocked;" what?! i never heard about something like this? usually mages get barrier spels too , but for  nullifying magic? did he tried it ?"

Hestia :" he did and he told me it really nullifies magic attacks like its nothing, and there is also this skill ' unknown skill' , that has no discribtion on it ... arrrrgh"

both other gods were in deep thoughts ,usually when someone gets a skill they get the discribtion of it in same time 

Miach:" maybe he should try to adventure alittle and see if the skill activates on its own"

Tamekazu also nods .

Hestia:" yeah thats what i thought about too , but bell wasnt going to dungeon much lately "

miach :" thats for other time  , now lets get for his name , you said hestia Rabbit , its sounds more cute for a level 5 adventurer "

Hestia :" whats wrong with it , he is my bell!"

Miach :"heheh , then try to get a good name for him , you said bell has alot of agility ,why not 'white flash'?" 

the gods kept talking for long time that night 

meanwhile up in a certain room , bell was preparing his stuff. he prepared some rations , and his daggers and short swords , his new armor was finished by welf ,  he was going  on a long trip in the dungeon , and lastly he picked that daedalus eye. he was going to enter the dungeon threw knosos since freya eyes were in babel. 

He choosed this timing because freya contacted him , she told him that the notification about his transfer and his new level will be published tomorrow along side his new name. for the first time bell wasnt excited at all , he once saw Ais notification on the city board and how people reacted to her , when it was his moment ,he felt more bad than excited . 

He had to leave orario before Freya comes tomorrow  so he left the letter on his desk , and the crystal that freya left him too then he  went out that night , he told welf that he was going to the dungeon , and he wanted to try a new skill . and probably meets loki familia .then when he went downstairs Hestia was there looking at him . then she smiled 

Hestia :" are you going alone again ?"

Bell Tried to hide his feelings :" yeah , i really wants to do this , i need to get more strong soon "

when he reached the door , hestia called him : " bell , be careful !"

then he turned around :" hai , thank you kami sama , and farewell" then he disapeared 

Hestia smiled for a while before she got a terrible anxious feeling, 

Bell expression and his words ( thank you , and farewell?) when someone goes to dungeon they usually dont say that , much more his face expression , for some reason , that smile of his sad one. like he is saying good bye.  hestia tried  to think about it more but , there is no reason for bell to be like that ,so she left the thinking until tomorrow after Denatus 

****** 

the next morning Hestia left the house and went to gods meeting , she was really excited about how she ll make loki face when she hears about her kid  getting level 5 . 

then when she reached the building , she saw hermes with his indifrenet look in his face , miach and tamikazi and hephaiostos , hermes was looking at sun far away , while Hephaiostos couldnt face hestia face , Hestia greets them then they enter.

Inside the big room , a big table was in the middle and many gods were siting already , hestia seat was near to Freya's when she saw she smiled at her and greets her 

Freya :" isnt this Hestia , good morning"

Hestia :" hmph , good morning pervert Freya "
