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

Decision of the rabbit(6)

The weather in the many familias was diffrent today . and the reason was clear.

the unexpected transfer of a certain adventurer to the strongest familia in orario and of course his growth level that never stopped surprising them. 

In Miach familia ,nazha and daphne and their god  were in talking , the mood wasnt really good . Miach was also present in Denatus and he talked with hestia days before , so he was almost as shocked as her because bell didnt mention anything. 

Nazha:" who would have guessed ? bell in freya familia?"

Daphne:" but why? didnt he always wanted to make a strong familia? he stood against us when we were back in apolo familia in the war games and fought from his heart!"

Nazha:" thats whats surprising here, because this transfer was smooth , really smooth that is so suspicious"

Miach:" i beleive in what nazha said too, and knowing Freya , that woman must ve shemed something behind Hestia's back and bell couldnt do anything but accept"

Nazha:" well , that sounds more reasonable , also we never got any news from bell ? even after the announcement was made, is he still in hestia familia house?"

Miach :" i dont really know , we have to wait and see , by the way what happened to cassandra?" 

daphne:" she kept crying last night  , saying that nothing changed , she had a nightmare days ago about cranel-san  and she talked with him about it  hoping he ll be careful , i guess it was already too late"

everyone was in deep thought

meanwhile same deduction was being made in Tamekazi familia , and other friendly familias to hestia  , most of loki familia memebers were absent and the only ones who were behind , were doumbfounded , because the brat that they hated , has grown up again , and now after joining freya  they were more scared that he'll snatch Aiz away , that thought made thme unable to sleep.

hephaoistos was in deep regret in her office and looking at Tsubaki who was also in deep thought , back a few days ago when a certain goddess visited her .

Hephaestous was taken by surprise by the amount of money that was droped in her office by freya . who only left with few words.

( this is hestia's debt ,and i hope you dont tell her about it until the  time comes) 

hephaestus didnt understand at that time, but she only get some hints .( that cunning slut , she done it again ,since when she had her eyes on that kid? i can only feel sorry for hestia , i hope she dont get depressed alot) 

As for the guild 

a certain elf was lost in deep thought that she forgot all of her suroundings  even when they called at her.

Maria:" Eina! Eina! do you hear me?"

Eina:" ah maria ! you dont have to scream like that"

Maria:" well i ve been calling your name since 5 mins ago and you didnt reply , whats with that face , arent you supposed to be happy , you ll became famous now too , you are the advisor of the famous LUNAR FREYA , now many people will beg you now for a favor, fufufu"

Eina eyes were down , she didnt want to reply because her brain was a mess righ now  , she knew that bell would level up soon , but the transfer , he never consulted her at about this even when they were in study sessions about the deep floors , bell never brought that up , his goal was always to make Hestia familia bigger and stronger .but why?

Maria talked again:" are you sad because he didnt show up recenlty?"

Eina:" no , i feel really suspicious , about this , i know bell wont do something like this from his own  accord, there must be a reason behind this"

Maria held her breath , then the two continue talking .

 the worst mood in all familias was of course in Hestia familia house. 

their goddess didnt return  that night , and when they checked out , the news about bell fell on them like a lightning strike . 

lily was crying in her room and she didnt wanted to beleive it saying that its a big prank . 

Haruhime fainted , while welf and mikoto were the only ones who didnt loose their minds , but still shocked.

they were in the dinning hall , 

Mikoto:" i cant beleive this , bell-dono left us just like that ?"

Welf:" i cant beleive it too , and i dont want to beleive it , i had a bad feeling about this , and it started a while agoo , when bell started spending some times in dungeon alone, one night i felt multiple gazes while i was out of my smithing , but  i thought it was just people passing by ,i ignored them at first , but they kept coming back from time to time , i wanted to talk with bell about this but , he was busy all that time  , now i became sure"

Mikoto:" they must be freya familia members"

Welf:" now coming to think of it , freya familia was the one who destroyed ishtar familia that night . and she picked the night were bell was being captive in their hands , looking back at it now , it seems like Freya destroyed Ishtar just to save bell"

Mikoto was speechless ,her eyes widened 

Mikoto:" it cant be!"

welf continue talking :" if those gazes were from freya familia members then they could ve wiped us out long time agoo , it wont take them alot of time" 

mikoto :" but, that cant be possible right?"

welf :" i wasnt sure about it at first , but when i checked bell's room i found this , and now i am really sure about , we need to explain everything to goddess hestia and the others , we have to find a way to save bell" then he takes out  the letter that bell left behind him 

Mikoto:" this ...?"

Welf :" its a letter from bell , he left it behind for us , it explains everything that happened , and he asks for our understanding and forgivness , and he also mentionned something about an agreemenet between him and freya"

mikoto:" what kind of agreement ? "

Welf:" freya agreed that she would let bell leave her familia , if one day he managed to beat Ottarl in a fair fight ,  and until then, she promised him she wont attack us . which is why bell left to the dungeon , he wants to get stronger"

Mikoto :" but why didnt he mentioned anything ? he could asked us for help ! why he has to do everything by himself!"

welf takes a deep sigh :" i thought about that too , but there is a continuation to the story , alongside the letter , there were a list of incidents that happened to bell , hel already fought against ottar in the dungeon and lost, and they kept following him many times , he couldnt ask for help , freya didnt leave him any choice!"

at that moment hestia who came back with tears in her eyes , was outside  . she wanted to go in , but she heard to two talking and kept listenning , her depressed helpless mood and lost eyes shined ones more , because she knew bell wouldnt betray her trust then she slamed the door and went in 

Hestia screamed :" STUPID BELL-KUN!!! "
