banquet

Hestia said goodbye to Bell and stared at his parting figure with longing look

"You really do love your child, don't you, Hestia..." Demeter noticed Hestia's expression and commented on it

"Mm, he is the sun of my day, I would do anything to keep him safe and happy..." Hestia said

"Oho~ who would think the one of our virgin goddesses fell in love with a mortal boy" The mature women teased, which made Hestia blush a little

"hmph! What? I can't fell in love now?" Hestia scoffed and crossed her arms

"oh my, I wouldn't dare, but I noticed something...that boy isn't so innocent...and naive as I thought." Demeter said, and continued with a giggle, "maybe he will do the first move and take your virgin status away." 

Hestia's face become red as she remembered what happened in the morning, "oh! Something happened already!" Demeter eyes twinkled with mischief

"N-Nothing!" Hestia denied,"And what did you mean about Bell?"and changed the subject 

Demeter giggled and left the matter be (for now) and explained, "Well, despite his efforts to hide it, during my *giggle* checking him out, his body reacted to my movement a lot" she said with a wink

"what?!" Hestia shouted, "hmph! Bell-kun, you cheater!" she humphed and stomped the ground 

"hehe, you can't blame him Hestia, men's had a lot of body reactions, especially a growing teen like him" Demeter explained, "Besides, I told he will attract lot, his mature eyes with innocent charm is such a ladykiller." she laughed, "the sooner you deal with it, the better." 

"Hmph, we will see." Hestia snorted and advance towards the party of the gods

Demeter shook her head repeatedly and went her way to meet other friends....

....

"I AM GANESHA! HAHAHAHA" A man with elephant mask kept laughing and repeating his own name in front of big status of himself 

"Nmm" Hestia ignored the laughing man and Munched on some heated puns while putting some for Bell to try later

"Ara, Hestia. Fancy to see you here." An elegant voice startled her

"ukk!" Hestia jumped and looked behind her,"oh, it's you."  in front of her an elegant lady with sliver hair and violet eyes wearing a tight-fitting dress, with a face and body that can charm monks, Freya beauty goddess

"I see you are as foodie as Always." Freya chuckled lightly

"hmph, this food goes to the right places, so I don't need to look after myself." Hestia huffed in response while continuing eating delicious

"If you say so," Freya said

"I do, and for the record, I don't like dealing with you. " Hestia stuffed another piece of meat in her mouth while putting another in a box

"hehe, that's what's love about you, Hestia, too transparent." Freya giggled

"hm, well you are better than others I guess." Hestia narrowed her eye at a figure that running towards location

"Freyaaaa" A loud voice came to their ears, they look towards the source and saw a redhead with closed eyes and surprisingly a dress

"Ara, Loki, it's nice to see you in a dress after a long time."

"Hahaha, I had it in my closet forever, I thought of putting it to good use." Loki laughed loudly and looked at Hestia in surprise, "Oi, shrimp, I didn't know you could dress up like a lady, you have almost blown me away" Loki snickered at Hestia

"I can say the same about you, I thought you are a man the whole time, especially with a square chest like that." Hestia didn't pull her punches and attacked out it hurts

"ugh! I'm having odds with you! Boobs shrimp" 

"bring it on flat floor." the pair of goddesses begin to pull each other hair and cheeks 

"Ara, aren't you besties?" Freya giggled and teased

"On my big dead butt!" x2, the pair said at the same time and look at each other with annoyance 

"My butt is definitely bigger than yours, shrimp!" 

"Ohh, I bet it isn't!" 

And after another round of her pulling, they stopped, "hmph! If you have wasted my dress, I'll fight you to the death!" Hestia said in anger

"hmph! What so good about it, it's mediocre at best!" Loki lied as naturally breath, the dress is of good quality and fitting Hestia perfectly, but no way she would praise her arch nemesis, would she?

"What! Bell-kun has chosen this dress for me!" Hestia glared at the trickster Goddess, ready for another round 

"Hm? Bell? Oh! The boy from yesterday!" Loki recognized the name

"Oh? Bell? Is he a new child of yours, Hestia?" Freya asked with interest and her eyes momentarily shined

"hm! My bell-kun is the best! Don't you dare and charm him." Hestia pointed her finger at Freya, who only chuckled in response, "You know I can't control my charm, Hestia, I am just that beautiful to mortals." Freya said with while eating a cake, elegantly 

"hmph! I don't believe you one bit!" Hestia scoffed and looked at Loki, "what do you mean by yesterday?" Hestia asked 

Loki then briefly explained what happened in the inn yesterday, which word, Hestia face become paler!

"You bitch! You couldn't hold your dog right! What if now he targeted my bell-kun!" Hestia hysterically asked and glared at Loki hatefully, and little upset at Bell because he didn't tell how about his recklessness, she would give him a mouthful at home, she decided 

Loki shrugged, "Not my fault that Bete is too head heated, that's part of his charm anyway."

"How could being rude and asshole, a charm!"

"Ask that to every girl that ask him for a night." Loki smirked, which made Hestia speechless

Loki then decide to give Hestia some carrots because she somewhat liked Bell, "Besides, I don't think Bete is going to target your Bell-kun in time soon." 

"And why is that?" Freya asks

"no way, I would tell you, you might take advantage of it." Loki spats at Freya, which made Freya chuckled, unbothered with Loki secrecy

'No way, I would tell them that idiot wolf developed a trauma towards bad smell and now couldn't stand near them at all.' Loki cursed in her mind, worst of all, she couldn't target a Bell.

Because she quite likes his attitude, and he was defending himself against level 5! Embarrassing himself is one thing, but she couldn't stand making her Familia the laugh of decades because he couldn't handle bad smell anymore...

Hestia couldn't believe Loki, but somehow she was relieved, she then decided to change the subject, "anyway, I'm going to see hephy, so you later, enchantress, square chest." Freya chuckled at Hestia comment, like always nothing phases her, but Loki was ready for another battle, but Hestia disappeared like wind...

/somewhere else/

*Aghh!!* 

 A desperate was heard in the 7th floor

"oh! You won't!" A boy with white hair said, as he stabbed the int with his now war shadow finger's blade spear

Bell looked at his new black spear that he made from 10 war shadow drop item, how did he get that much, you ask?

[drop items chance increase, costs : 1000 LP

use LP to increase chances of dropping an item from monsters, LP costs depends on the monster power level compared to the user, and rarity of the drop item, among other things]

Bell created this skill when he thought about creating a spear, by increasing the chance, he got 10 blade fingers after killing 30 war shadows

he also collected drop from goblins and kobold, he made from them small knives he can throw and used his skill that can take monsters with a Surprise such as needle rabbit, blue Papilio and purple moth

he encountered these new monster today, but with throwing knife and spear reach, he managed to hunt those small monsters with ease

'I'm too strong for 7th floor now, should I try my luck next?' Bell thought as looked at his rabidly increased stats that reached The D rank and some C already

"I think under a few weeks I can reach the S-rank limit, but maybe it isn't mine?' Bell evaded another bullet like nail near him

Bell decided not to risk it, since has been a few hours and he should go fetch Hestia from the banquet

"the dungeon won't runway, would it?" Bell chuckled and collect the loot and drop item in bag, after he reshaped some of the throwing knives into normal drop items, he left the dungeon with satisfaction...
