Bell Cranel (1)

"A long, long time ago, we gods came to this world. The world of you, our children who seek excitement."

"And we decided that we would live here with you, forever in the mortal world."

"We decided to seal away our divine power, and enjoy life with all the hardships and inconvenience that it entails."

"We can offer you only one thing: the power to fight monsters, what we call our 'blessings'."

"The children given this power become our Servants, our familia."

"In other words, you are my Servant. You are the only member of the Hestia Familia."

"Are you listening, Bell-kun?!" suddenly said the girl who was narrating the history of the how the world became as of now.

Inside the dungeon where the monsters reside and where the Servants go inside to explore, there's a silver-haired youth currently running with all his might as he is being chased by a big bad minotaur. This silver-haired youth is precisely Bell Cranel, the protagonist of our story and is also the sole member of the Hestia Family.

Now he is a bit of a pinch as a minotaur was way stronger than himself and he just happened to mess up and led the minotaur that's supposed to be on the fifth floor up to the bottom floor. Bell kept on running and running until he got cornered by the minotaur, "I'm dead meat" he thought as Bell covered himself up preparing to meet his death.

Then suddenly a sword light passed him by and went towards the minotaur that's harassing a all the way to the bottom floor. The minotaur was then enraged as it was suddenly slashed by someone and immediately it faced the direction as to where the sword light came from and dashed straight at it. The adventurer responsible for the attack then leisurely evaded the angry minotaur's charge as she followed it up with a slash directly at the monster's body opening up a deep wound.

The minotaur howled in pain as it went for another charge at the female adventurer, she then gathered up her energy and charged up some sort of attack and released an X-shaped sword light towards the minotaur cutting it in fours and dyeing Bell who was at the back, red with the minotaur's blood.

"Huh?" said Bell in surprise as his face and clothes got covered in minotaur blood. The monster then disappeared, releasing a black smoke and a crystal. "Hey...are you alright?" asked the blonde female adventurer to Bell as she walked up in front of him.

The girl then tilted her head a bit which made Bell felt like he was not inside a dungeon but was in paradise.

It was love at first sight.

Bell was so embarrassed and immediately stood up and ran towards the exit leaving the female adventurer baffled. Bell was currently running outside the streets while covered up in blood from head to toe making the townsfolk look at him.

"What happened to him? Is he okay?"

"He's probably a new adventurer that pushed himself too hard and screwed up."

"Oh, so he's just a screw up, huh?"

Then at the door of a building a woman maybe in her 20s was coming out holding a stack of papers. She's a beautiful half-elf, with a slim body, has emerald-colored eyes, short brown hair and wears an eyeglass.

"Eina-sannn!" yelled Bell as he waved his hand towards her. She then heard someone calling her name and looked at the direction where it was coming from, "Bell..." Eina didn't even finish what she's supposed to say when she suddenly threw the paperworks she's holding in the air when she saw how Bell was covered in blood.

"Please tell me what you know about Miss Aiz Wallenstein!" happily said Bell with a smile as he ran towards her. "Go and take a bath first!" yelled Eina as she led Bell inside the building to take a bath.

After a few minutes, Bell has now finished taking a bath and changed into clean clothes and went to find Eina to ask her about Aiz Wallenstein. "Bell-kun, come here" said Eina when she saw him around the building. They the went inside a room and started to talk, "why were you covered in blood?" asked Eina.

"Well, I went to the fifth floor and stumbled upon a minotaur and it followed me all the way to the bottom floor" said Bell as he scratched his head.

"You know better than that! Going straight down to the fifth floor" said Eina as she bent forwards Bell a little bit exposing her breasts' cleavage that Bell caught a glance off. "It's dangerous enough to go into the dungeon alone instead of finding a party!" said Eina as she scolded Bell.

Bell was currently focused on the sight at his front and he didn't hear what Eina have said. "Eina-san's breasts sure are nice" thought Bell. "I've told you this before. An adventurer shouldn't be too adventurous!" said Eina. "Huh? Oh yes, I'm sorry" said Bell as he finally focused on Eina's sermon.

"Bell, you're amazingly lucky. Not many Level 1 adventurers who've only been going to the dungeon for two weeks, would survive a minotaur attack" said Eina as she sat properly depriving Bell of his lust. Bell then bowed down his head, as he thought about the reckless behaviour that he did. Seeing that he was a bit sad, Eina then flicked her finger at Bell's forehead. "Anyway, I'm glad that you're safe" smiled Eina.

"Be more careful next time okay? And try not to run through the streets soaked in blood, okay?" asked Eina because walking on the streets while covered in blood would be truly shocking. "Yes" said Bell as he nodded.

"So...about the information on Miss Aiz..."said Bell acting all shy like a girl. "What? Don't tell me you've fallen in love with Miss Aiz Wallenstein, the girl who saved you?" teased Eina as she looked at the shy Bell.

"Well, umm..." he can't seem to answer as Bell kept on looking at the ground not being able to show his reddened face at Eina. "You have,haven't you?" further teased Eina. "Yes!" said Bell as he jumped in excitement.

"Aiz Wallenstein, Loki Familia, Level 5, she's said to be one of the strongest adventurer in Orario, and gods have given her the title of Sword Princess" said Eina.
