The [Guild] was in a bailout. Three days ago they not only received a report from [Loki Family] that a <Minotaur> was spotted on the |Ninth Floor|, but also received the news that at midnight of the same day, [Freya Family] was attacked for what it seemed to be a [Spirit], because according to reports the creature that attacked them had nine shiny tails and long shiny hair and knew magic, because it had a tail many would think of an [Anthropomorphic Animal], but it was not possible for one of them to have more than one tail and that glowed on top.
Monsters moving from the floors they are on shouldn't be anything new, but the monsters were found two floors above or below their original recorded point. But <Minotaur> was spotted on the |Ninth Floor|, which means he made the |Middle Floors| journey. The first floor on which <Minotaurs> are usually found was on the |Fifteenth Floor|, six floors below. The fact that it was not the first time that a <Minotaur> was seen in |Upper Floors| made the blood of all [Lower Class Adventurers] freeze.
The previous incident in which a <Minotaur> reached the |Fifth Floor| was caused because of an accident on the return of [Loki Family] on his expedition. The [Guild] staff explained this several times, but the [Adventurers] were not convinced. Some claimed that something had changed inside the |Dungeon|, allowing <Minotaurs> to be born in the |Upper Floors|. Eina and her co-workers failed to dismiss it as an exaggeration, as in Level 1 [Adventurers], it was a matter of life and death. If monsters from |Middle Floors| were wandering the |Upper Floors|, they couldn't work.
The other they simply had to discard, as what appeared to be a [Spirit] had run over several of the best members of [Freya Family], although there was no death, many were injured, and even after three days of recovery with a right at great potions, some were still unable to move, and Folkvangr was left with almost seventy percent of its external structure compromised. And as he was a powerful [Spirit], he didn't have what they could do to resolve, the only thing that could be expected was [Spirit] not to return and [Freya Family] not to irritate it again.
Eina was very shaken for two reasons. One their job was well done, and two was because of Bell. She hadn't seen Bell for four days and was starting to get worried, as he was always going to say hello to her, and the fact that she saw Caster and Lili yesterday and they didn't say anything didn't help her nervousness her. Her condition was precarating her friend Misha, who was at the counter next to her.
(Misha): "Still looking like that?"
Eina didn't say anything, she just kept going through the papers in front of her, Misha knew how Eina saw Bell and could only sympathize with that and try to improve her spirits. And the chance came when she looked at the door.
(Misha): "Eina, your favorite [Adventurer] has arrived."
This caught her eye, and she looked up. And in fact the white hair that was his trademark stood out in the crowd and along with him were Lili and Caster.
(Bell): "Good morning Miss Eina!" - he said when they arrived at the counter.
(Eina): "Bell, I was starting to get worried. Good morning and good morning Miss Caster and Miss Arde."
When Misha heard this she almost laughed at the 'starting to get' part. Eina was under the impression that she heard the death of a family member, she was going to make that comment but a red-haired man appeared to ask for help to join a group.
(Lili & Caster): "Good morning Miss Counselor / Miss Eina."
(Bell): "Sorry for my disappearance."
(Eina): "Well, you're fine, so it's okay. And what happened? You three are in a good mood."
(Bell): "I'm Level 2 now."
Eina was in shock before she exclaimed.
(Eina): "HEH ?! Level 2 in just a month and a half?"
(Caster): "Miss Eina, don't you have a more private place to talk?" - she said while looking around.
(Eina): "Y-yes, of course, this way." - she regained her composure quickly and guided them to a private room.
Inside he told his adventure.
(Eina): "The <Minotaur>... [Loki Family] said he had been defeated ... but to think it was you ... why did you put yourself in such a risk?" - she said the last part in an angry voice.
The way he told it, he could run with Lili, but he stayed and decided to fight.
(Bell): "I couldn't get Lili to accompany me, at the time I was just thinking about getting time for her to escape."
In fact, Lili would never be able to accompany Bell with her own legs, but she could have left the bag and Bell could carry it. But at the time, people don't think about those things. Bell was tempted to say that <Minotaur> was understanding him, but he decided to keep that information, he didn't know how Eina was going to react to that.
(Eina): "Well, it's true that at those times we don't think straight ... and in just a month and a half ..." - she still couldn't absorb this part.
(Caster): "Well, Mestre did what would be impossible, no? The previous record was a year held by Ais, right?"
(Eina): "Yes."
At that time Eian read some files and saw that Bell was training a lot, not to mention what he had to go through in |Dungeon|. The <Silverback>, the order of <Killer Ant>, despite having dealt with only half, and now the <Minotaur>. It was enough to make Eina accept the fact and give her a good headache.
(Eina): "Well ... let's leave out the danger you went through ... anyway, parabens for Level Up, Bell."
She was trying to give him a big lecture, but decided not to spoil his joy.
(Bell): "Thank you. And I would like to ask about it." - he said while taking a piece of parchment.
He handed over a list and when Eina saw that there were three terms there. Abnormal Resistence, Mage and Luck.
(Eina): "Sure, you're Level 2 now, so it's clear that Development Skills would show up." - she said this while getting a little confused by the last term.
(Bell): "I would like your opinion."
'Abnormal Resistence' is related to gaining skills where they help to resist negative statuses such as poisoning, 'Mage' was also common for magic users, in order to lighten the burden of their Mind, allowing them to cast more spells before needing to resort to a portion or suffer the form of Mind Down, already 'Luck' was not registered in the [Guild] so Eina didn't know how it worked.
(Eina): "Well what do you think, Bell?"
(Bell): "Well ... 'Mage' will definitely help me since I tend to use my Magic a lot ... but 'Abnormal Resistence' can save your life in |Dungeon|. But the [Goddess] was very determined about 'Luck'. "
(Lili): "Lady Hestia just says 'You need this skill'. I think it is very risky to get an unknown skill."
(Caster): "Although I'm sure Saber would support Lady Hestia if she were here." - she murmured this but the others managed to hear.
Bell recalled that Saber said that in many battles they are decided because of luck and the opportunities it brings, that was the reason he was tempted to choose her if the skill was literal, which would only make him lucky.
(Eina): "Well Bell, the decision will be yours, but you should choose something related to your goals."
(Bell): "My goals?"
(Eina): "If you want to protect yourself better, then choose 'Abnormal Resistence'. If you want to progress in |Dungeon| more easily then choose 'Mage'. But if your goal is greater than your reach ... then don't to achieve this skillfully. At these times, 'Luck' will be your greatest ally. "
Bell's head again went to that conversation with Saber about luck.
(Bell): "I see ... thanks Miss Eina."
(Caster): "I just remembered, did you find a house that we can afford?"
(Eina): "Actually, yes. Here. If you can afford it, you can move in today."
They looked at the price, and were amazed. The price was salty but with Lili's savings, the trio's rage and the new <Minotaur>'s [Magic Stone], they could pay.
(Caster): "What do you think?"
(Lili): "Lady Hestia, said that as long as we don't get together, everything is fine."
(Bell): "Then we'll get the money later."
(Eina): "Just come and talk to me right away."
(Bell): "Alright, see you later, Miss Eina." - he said as he got up and left.
Caster and Lili said goodbye to Eina, and followed Bell. Halfway back to church Lili decided to speak.
(Lili): "Master Bell... you're going to choose 'Luck', aren't you?"
He realized that there was no need to hide.
(Bell): "Yes... Saber told me several times where luck saved her life in battles, and how many lives of her soldiers she saved in the process with that."
(Caster): "If so, we have nothing to do." - She said defeated.
(Lili): "Well, let's catch up before Lady Hestia leaves for Denatus if Master Bell wants to Level Up properly."
They arrived at the church and went straight to the room where Hestia was waiting for Bell to perform Level Up and update the status of others. When he said his decision she was very happy.
(Hestia): "Huhu ... you chose 'Luck'. As expected Bell, you listen to me as a good son."
(Lili): "Master Bell chose this because of Lady Saber." - she murmured loudly enough for Hestia to hear and it was like a stab in the heart of Hestia.
(Hestia): "Anyway. You are Level 2 now." - she said hastily
(Bell): "I don't feel any different."
(Hestia): "It's not like you have a sudden increase in energy. It's not so drastic, but you will notice the difference in |Dungeon|."
She examined the parchment with the status of each of her children.
(Hestia): "Well, how the chance of you decided on |Dungeon| here," - she said, handing the scrolls one at a time.
First to Lili.

/ ******************* /
(Bell): "'Legacy of Chaos'... Ray of Chaos... |Light, Darkness & Chaos|... |Heroic Desire - Argonaut|." - he read the name of the skills out loud and froze at last.
When he looked to the side he saw the smiling face of Lili, Hestia and Caster. Hestia was looking like she was going to burst out laughing. Bell was so ashamed that he hid his face in his hands and lay down on the sofa in the shape of a ball.
(Caster): "Everything is fine, Master, it just shows how dedicated you are to your dream, after all it is marked in the soul, isn't it?" - she was trying to cheer him up, but she was just sinking him.
(Bell): "Please... stop..." - he said as he sat down.
(Lili): "It's okay, after all Mestre Bell is Lili's [Hero]." - she said while holding one of his arms.
It calmed him down a little.
(Hestia): "You are so cute, Bell. Besides, you live with [Heroes], what is the problem with idolatrals? Not so many people remain innocent like you."
(Lili): "But ... 'Argonaut', huh ... is not the story of a boy who wants to be a hero, but is deceived by the people around him, tries to save a queen but ends up being saved by her? "
(Caster): "Where Saber came from, argonauts was a term used by heroes who went on an adventure on a ship called Argo."
(Bell): "My grandfather told a different version of the story of 'Argonaut', he said that his version was the original." - A rueful smile appeared on his face as he remembered his grandfather.
(Caster): "What about that other Master ability?" - she wanted to take Bell out of those memories.
(Bell): "You mean |Light, Darkness and Chaos|? I think that's what I used to control my swords at the same time."
(Lili): "In fact, the 'Promise of Light' and 'Forgetfulness of Darkness' were floating around Master Bell's back just like Lady Caster's mirror."
(Hestia): "A skill that allows you to control your swords ... I think it more accurate to say that you control the elements that make them up."
(Caster): "Anyway, Master, as you level up, you can summon a new |Servant|."
That cheered Bell up on the spot.
(Bell): "Really?"
(Caster): "Yes, come."
They prepared the room for the invocation. Caster started to draw the magic circle while Lili and Bell moved the furniture and Hestia went to get the |Holy Grail| as a catalyst.
(Lili): "I wondered how Lady Saber and Lady Caster got here ... will this work?" - She said as she pushed the sofa where she slept.
(Bell): "It worked with Caster, so yes ... although it is a little sad that Saber is not here."
Hestia chose that moment to return with |Holy Grail|.
(Hestia): "We will have a party when she comes back." - when she entered the room, |Holy Grail| started to emit a light song and to shine - "Whoa, it seems that this knows that you want to invoke someone."
She put |Holy Grail| in the center of Caster's magic circle.
(Caster): "Master."
(Bell): "Yes."
He walked to the circle, raised his right hand and started the enchantment, when the enchantment started, Lili suddenly sat up more erectly as she felt something go through the room and her body. Towards the end, Bell's hand began to glow in golden light, with the sound of bells accompanying it, in contrast to the red glow of the magic circle in front of him before bursting into light. Hestia used Caster as a shield to protect herself from the dust, Caster stood still and Lili covered her eyes.
(Caster): "Congratulations, Master." - she said happily.
There, in the middle of the room, between Bell and |Holy Grail| there was a child the same size as Lili with big light green eyes, short gray hair, reaching the height of her cheeks, she had two small scars on her face, one located on her left eye, and the other on her right cheek. She wore a heavy black shawl that covered most of her upper body, but Bell could see a pair of black shorts and socks that reached her things too.
Bell couldn't see her as a [Heroic Spirit] like Saber and Caster, just a little girl. While looking at Bell the girl tilted her head for a moment before speaking.
(????): "Assassin, Jack the Ripper. Nice to meet you, Mommy." - she said it with a bright smile.
(Bell): "Heh?"
And with that, Jack or Assassin, ran over to the Bell and gave a big hug.
(Bell & Hestia & Caster & Lili): "EEEEHHHHHH !?"
After they calmed down and straightened the room and sat down, Assassin was still clinging to the Bell.
(Lili): "Umm ... is this girl a [Spirit]?"
(Caster): "Yes. |Servant| Assassin, Jack the Ripper. A famous assassin who massacred several women and his identity was never discovered. The name, Jack the Ripper ended up picking up after a person sent a letter as a prank call to the police."
(Bell): "... Is that so ...?" - he asked while looking at Assassin who tilted his head to look back at him - "Umm ... are you Jack the Ripper?"
(Assassin): "Yep! That's our name, but we don't know if we are the same as madam were referring to."
(Caster): "Madam!?" - that touched her pride.
(Hestia): "...But did you kill a lot of women?"
(Assassin): "Uh huh! But none was Mommy." - she said with a smile.
(Hestia): "And do you think Bell is your Mommy?"
(Assassin): "Yep! Master is Mommy and Mother is Master!"
(Caster): "So she sees Master as her mother. She has nothing to do."
(Bell): "Easy for you to talk ..." - he murmured.
(Assassin): "...Mommy doesn't like us?" she asked as she looked at Bell with watery eyes.
(Bell): "T-that's not it! It's just ... I'm a boy, you know? So it's strange to call me Mommy. But if you want to call me that, I can take it."
(Assassin): "Okay! We love you, Mommy."
(Bell): "Dude..."
(Hestia): "Hey Assassin, if you want a Mommy then I will be one for you. If you join my [Family], you will be one of my precious children like everyone here." - she said while opening her arms.
Assassin looked from Bell to Hestia and reluctantly let go of Bell, she walked over to the smiling [Goddess] who was welcoming her with open arms before plunging into Hestia's chest, allowing the [Goddess] to hug her.
(Hestia): "Is this going to work?" she asked softly.
(Assassin): "Hmm ..." - she nodded as she snuggled closer.
(Lili): "Everything is fine when it ends well." - Lili said with a smile.
(Bell): "I think so." - he said with a laugh.
So [Hestia Family] won another member.

/ ******************* /
(Lili): "So what are we going to call her? We can't just call her 'Assassin' in the middle of the street, can we?"
(Bell): "Let's just call her Jack."
When she heard his name, Jack looked at him, making Bell and Lili smile and she returned the gesture.
(Lili): "By the way, why does everyone use the title?"
(Bell): "They asked me to call them that, something about hiding their identity during the war, don't they?" - he said looking at Caster.
(Caster): "Yes, but as we are not at war there is no reason to hide, so Mestre can only call me by my name, and I believe that Saber will share the same opinion.
(Bell): "So ... Tamamo?"
She smiled when she heard him say his name.
(Hestia): "Do we stop using the titles? It's fine with me. Anyway, take care, I'll be back after the meeting."
(Bell): "[Goddess], Miss Eina has found a home where we can move."
(Hestia): "As I said, you can buy any house as long as we are not in debt. Someone shows up there to guide me to the new house."
(Bell): "Okay. Let's go to the [Guild] after lunch. And let's see if we can do a little party for Jack too."
(Hestia): "Okay. Make her feel welcome. Then I'll be going."
(Bell & Lili & Tamamo): "See you later [Goddess] / Lady Hestia."
(Jack): "Bye, Mommy Hestia."
While their children were going to spend time together with the new member. Hestia followed him to his battlefield. Denatus, The Encounter of the Gods, was an event every three months that allowed the [Gods] to mix when they normally didn't have the time or opportunity due to the work or administration of their [Families]. What started out as a simple gathering of close friends turned into a more or less official event for the divine ... as things often ended when someone dealt with a group of bored [Gods]. Although Hestia wished she couldn't go just to spend more time with Jack, but she couldn't, after all, Bell's Alias was going to be chosen and she had to try to do something to not be too silly.
(???): "Hi, Hestia."
She turned and saw her friends, Hephaistos and Takemikazuchi, a [God of War].
(Hestia): "Hephaistos, Take, good to see you."
(Hephaistos): "Likewise."
(Takemikazuchi): "Did I hear that one of your children leveled up, in a month and a half?"
(Hestia): "Yes."
(Hephaistos): "Incredible, the |Sword Princess| took a year."
(Hestia): "Yes, and Take one of my children, Tamamo, I would like to meet you."
(Takemikazuchi): "Is your child from Far East?"
(Hestia): "Yes, a [Renard]."
(Hephaistos): "Wasn't the [Renard] called Caster?"
(Hestia): "This was a nickname she chose, just like Saber."
(Takemikazuchi): "Of course it will be a pleasure to meet you, my children were happy too."
(????): "Hestia ..."
The trio looked at the direction the voice was coming from and found [God] Soma.
(Hestia): "Oh, Soma."
That surprised everyone present, both the fact that Soma came, because even when the Level 2 were from his [Family], he never came and the fact that he greeted Hestia above all.
(Soma): "Are both okay?"
(Hestia): "Are you talking about Bell and Liliruca? Yes, they are. They ended up involved in that <Minotaur> incident, but they are fine."
(Soma): "The one who appeared on |Ninth Floor|? So they are both well?"
(Hestia): "Yes."
(????): "You look like a father worried about his daughter and son-in-law, Soma."
The one who interrupted was Loki.
(Soma): "You again, Loki ..."
(Loki): "It looks like Bell Cranel had a big impact on you to get you out of your wine jars and manage your [Family], as well as that [Support], right?"
When she finished speaking he was shaking his head.
(Loki): "Hey, I didn't even ask what I wanted to ask."
(Soma): "No."
(Loki): "Tch!"
(Hestia): "Just because he changed does not mean that he will give you his wine like this."
(Loki): "You never know. So ... did your little child become Level 2?"
(Hestia): "Yes, and?"
(Loki): "Where do you find these children? You got a boy who broke my Ais record, you have someone who defeated my Bete with one move, and one [Renard] who made my Riveria excited about the her magic. "
(Hestia): "I can't find them, he comes to me and Bell. And to make it clear, I'm not using my Arcanum, okay? I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to."
(Loki): "I know, I didn't come to fight, just thank you for letting Saber hang out with my kids. With Saber's help, a big layoff will go away if everything goes well."
Obviously she was talking about the swords that Tiona always breaks.
(Hestia): "That was Saber's decision, so I decided to respect her. But why the hurry Loki? You don't even have a month that your children went on an expedition. Is the [Guild] making you sick for this?"
(Loki): "Not only are we looking to break Zeus' record. It's not as if the High Rank Exploration [Families] [Guild] rule requires going on expeditions to break personal records when they reach |Deep Floor|."
(Hestia): "What do you mean?"
(Loki): "You are still a frog at the bottom of the well, so you don't have to worry, but when you reach Rank D, you will need to prove to the [Guild] that you are constantly advancing the |Dungeon|. For example, the deepest floor you managed to reach was the |Twenty Floor|. The [Guild] will ask you to reach the |Twenty-First Floor| and bring back Drop Items from monsters there to prove it. If I remember correctly .. were ten Drop Items from the same monster or something. "
(Hestia): "What a pain."
(Loki): "I agree. But my children have already gone from having to do this."
The two were silent looking at the hall.
(Loki): "Did you hear about Freya's children?" - she whispered in her ear.
(Hestia): "How could I not? Is that why Freya is not here?"
(Loki): "She rarely comes anyway, but I think her children begged her to stay."
(Hestia): "What is their status?"
(Loki): "Some have not yet recovered, even after three days with the right to good potions. That [Spirit] was really furious with them."
Hestia knew why and what [Spirit] had been but didn't comment.
(Hestia): "Ishtar is very happy, isn't she?"
Loki let out a grunt of agreement when he looked at the [Goddess of Love] who was laughing for some reason while a [God] let her step on him with a look of ecstasy on his face.
(Hestia): "Do you think [Spirit] will come back?"
(Loki): "I hope not, after all he was taking it easy, otherwise Freya's children would have died."
They were silent, but Loki murmured shortly thereafter.
(Loki): "... I wonder if Evils are coming back ..."
(Hestia): "I'm not hearing anything~. I was chased by a <Silverback> around the city during Monsterphila, I don't want to get involved in anything dangerous."
(Loki): "Okay, I'm not going to bring up scary topics, either way it will start."
When she said that, the [Goddess] that they did not expect to appear arrived.
(Loki): "Freya ?! Wouldn't you be staying at home and taking care of your children?"
(Freya): "I have been giving them direct attention for three days, if it continued like this they would be unaccustomed." - She said calmly as she took her place.
With the arrival of Freya many looks went to her, including one of hate that came from Ishtar. The hall was noisy with murmurs. Loki rang a bell that was with her and the hall was silent.
(Hestia): "Why do you have this?"
(Loki): "Because I am the organizer." - she said while going to her place, which was next to Hephaistos.
(Loki): "Okay, let's start the thousandth some or another Denastus! Everyone's favorite, Loki, will be the organizer today! To begin with, has anybody heard any new rumors?"
It started out quite normal. The [Gods] were just exchanging rumors and news they heard, but one of them caught his attention.
(Hestia): "Rakia? Isn't that where Ares is?"
(Hephaistos): "More or less. You can say that the whole country is Ares's [Family], even with Phobos returning there."
(Hestia): "Wow ... how many thousands of children does he have there? Does he intend to invade Orario? Shouldn't we take this news more seriously?"
(Hephaistos): "Don't worry, Hestia. The highest Level child there is a Level 3." - she said it with a smile.
A Level 3 against a city full of Level 4, 5, 6 and a Level 7? That would be like Bell going to the bottom of |Dungeon| without yours |Servants| and Lili from [Support]. It was just ridiculous.
(Hestia): "Why are they trying to invade Orario?"
(Other Gods): "Because he is an idiot!" - they said in unison with a big smile.
That surprised Hestia.
(Loki): "Well, let's send what we know to the [Guild] after the meeting. And I would like to bring a topic all right? Recently, a nasty new monster species has been coming out of the woodwork. We saw 'em at 'Philia and now they're even showing up at safety points."
Hestia wondered if it was the plant monsters that Saber and Tamamo had commented on.
(Loki): "These vibrant little beasties look like someone went at 'em with a paintbrush. They more than a match for a [Second Class Adventurer]... and damn elusive too. They have a tendency to show up wherever they goddamn well please, whether it's in the |Dungeon| or even the city itself."
A |Dungeon| it was one thing, but even in the city? Hestia was going to make sure Bell was always with Tamamo or Jack. She looked around. Could it be that some [God] there was plotting a conspiracy?
(Hestia): 'I will talk to Tamamo if Bell can summon another |Servant|, at least one who has great speed and can transport him and Lili if is needed. Since he could take two at Level 1, he can take four at Level 2, right? '
Now she was slightly regretting letting Saber go down there, despite knowing that she could survive.
(???): "I would like to say something. I am Ganesha!"
(Loki): "We already know that." she said with a sigh.
(Ganesha): "No, that's not what I wanted to say. I would like to apologize for what happened at Mosterphila! However I swear on in the name of Ganesha, Lord of Hosts, that these monsters, this Violas, that you speak are not related to my [Family]."
Hestia and Loki looked at each other, after all they both believed in him. According to Tamamo, the culprit was a [Goddess of Love]. Their eyes fell on Ishtar. And Ganesha claimed that they had not been brought to the surface.
(Ganesha): "And another thing. On the |Eighteenth Floor|, where these monsters appeared, one of my children was murdered! I don't know if the two incidents are related, but I would like to avenge my child! If anyone has some information I deeply appreciate it. " - as he spoke, he started to cry loudly.
(Ganesha): "Why ... why Hashana? Why did you have to die in the middle of having sex !?"
