The Restaurant

As Kon, Eevee and Bell were walking up towards the top of the tower, Bell couldn't help but notice the lack of monsters. They were normally here on top of him by this point, but it was concerning that not a single one has come up to face them after the time it's taken them to walk back up.

He just stayed alert though. With Kon and Eevee 'needing' help he didn't want them to get hurt.

However unknown to him but to Kon and Eevee, the monsters noticed them a long time ago and the Dungeon too, and just avoided them entirely.

Kon didn't say anything, and Eevee obviously didn't since she didn't like to talk a lot anyway.

Once they finally got to the First floor about to walk up however, Kon spoke up.

Kon: "Hey Bell. Hold on a second."

Bell stopped and looked at him. "What's wrong?" He asked in genuine confusion, since they're almost to the top, he wanted to get them out as soon as possible for their safety.

Kon: "I don't want to be seen by a bunch of people. Nothing against you but I'll be casting some magic to render us invisible to everyone besides you. Just wanted to let you know."

Bell had to take a second to process that, but in that moment Kon just let the magic spell come out and with his imagination used the magic to make light bend around them, making them essentially invisible. However it also allowed Bell to see them.

Kon: "There. Done." He said with his Blue eyes glowing with content.

Bell was still processing when Kon walked by and with Eevee in his arms he finally just started walking up the stairs. Bell seeing them walk past was about to open his mouth but decided otherwise, just chalking it up to 'Its the Dungeon.'

They finally made it to the top and when they did Bell noticed that no one looked at Kon or Eevee, or even noticed them. Thought that would've been really useful a while back when he ran through town covered in blood.

Eventually they walked out and Bell started talking to them again.

Bell: "Hey, I need to go take these crystals and change them in for money."

Kon looked and saw that he was only holding a few crystals and thought of something. He had a feeling along with that thought and followed through with it.

Kon: "Hey Bell, mind letting me see one of those for a sec? Those are pretty cool."

Bell: "Sure. Here." And he handed all of them over regardless. Kon gave him a blank look.

Kon: "I only wanted one, if you give me all of them and I run you wouldn't have anything for today ya know?" He chastised Bell, to which he gave him a quiet unconvincing laugh as a response.

Kon looked at the crystals and his eyes could 'see' everything about them. Like all the information about how they were made and what can be done with them.

Kon: 'Why can I 'see' everything about this? I only asked for my eyes to be able to change colors, so where did this come from?' He couldn't help but think. But from this he also found out something about the crystals. 'These are the literal hearts of the monsters, but they can be improved. But these are just the physical manifestation of magic. They are unique in their own way, but also can be copied.....hehehe this is gonna be fun.'

Kon: "Here Bell, thanks for letting me see those." Bell just nodded to him and took those crystals back. "Hey Bell, wanna see something cool?" And to that Bell just looked and said, "Sure."

And to that Bell just looked in awe as Kon started making his own crystals of those monsters. Only a good handful though so no one thinks much of it. He knew Bell wasn't that strong yet, and Kon didn't want to leave Bell without paying him back. Didn't sit right with him.

Kon: "Hehehe, now you have a surplus today. Let's go trade these in now." Bell is just shutting down his thinking when it comes to Kon at this point.

Finally getting to the Guild they go inside, Kon and Eevee still invisible. Bell walks over to one of the terminals, and he gets in pretty quickly since they did come back a lot earlier than normal. Finally getting the window they put the crystals into the tray and let it slide back. However instead of coming right back with the money it takes a lot longer.

Finally though, the little box opened up and the amount of money given was a lot more than Bell thought would be given.

Bell: "Umm, isn't this too much, the crystals were only goblin and kobold crystals?"

The Guild employee said through the tinted glass, "The quality of these crystals were a lot higher than normal. Therefore the price of them also increased. It's stated that variant monsters give a higher pay, so this is only the correct procedure to your situation."

Kon just nudged Bell and kept nodding his head towards the door. Finally Bell understood he just wanted to get out of there.

After Bell took the money and extra that he wasn't expecting to get, he finally was able to get out of the Guild and be on the way to the restaurant.

On the way though, Bell decided to ask Kon what he did.

Kon just responded, "I just made them purer than their Dungeon counterparts. Guess it was a little much huh? Though limited to only Kobolds and Goblins for now." 'I can make those monsters now however. And since I've seen a few samples of them I can change them too. Though I wish I had some War Shadow cores. Thise would be pretty neat.'

But finally after arriving to the restaurant Bell decided to show them to. He happy about going in.

They sat down in one of the side tables, with Bell sitting on one side, and Kon and Eevee on the other. Kon put her down in the seat next to him and put himself next to the exit so that Eevee sat between him and the wall.

With that said and done, finally a waitress came over, and it was none other than the resident silver haired Syr.

Syr: "Heyya Bell, nice seeing you again, and who is this?" She asked, and Kon could see that this was the real Syr and not Freya in Syr's body.

Bell: "This is Kon. I just met him today and the little one next to him is Eevee. I'm paying for everything today. And I'll get my usual, what do you want Kon?"

Kon though for a moment, and then asked Syr if there is any menu to look at. She nodded and then went off to grab a menu, but after staring at Eevee for a bit with jealous eyes.

She came back and also with a few drinks and a menu. "Here you go."

"Thanks." Said the both of them. Kon realized she didn't bring anything for Eevee so he decided to make some water balls for her to drink. When he decided to learn it he also learned ice, blood, storm, and more healing magic.

Bell just accepted what Kon could do at this point in time. Being with him for half the day has proven that. However those around him aren't as neutral to Kon's antics. They kept staring at Kon, making him nervous when he saw them staring. His eyes taking that dull Orange and squirming under their gazes. Mama Mia saw this along with the rest of the waitresses.

Finally one of the other customers in the restaurant recognized Kon and he shouted out, "You're the White Kitsune everyone has been talking about! The one that messed with Loki Familia and the group with them! Not only that also jumped off the Tower and landed safely!"

That got everyone's attention and finally Kon didn't want to have everyone just stare at him like that. He made the spell that made him invisible to everyone excluding Bell.

This made everyone else just stare even harder at where Kon disappeared from.

And right in the nick of time too. Since a group just walked in that took the focus off of Kon. Loki Familia just walked in.
