"Right, you took a two day break and apparently you haven't been down there in years," Riveria rolled her eyes.

"hey, I wanna fight, what's wrong with that," Bell asked.

"so much is wrong with that, but of course battle maniac," Riveria stated.

"yeah, Bell maybe slow down on the battle, we're going to fight the balor in a few days now, can't have you getting injured." Finn sighed. This guy was getting worried, Bell just fought and fought till he dropped, he still didn't understand why, but he just does.

"You say that, but you do realise I have a very large debt to pay back right?" Bell asked. "I didn't get gifted a very expensive sword, as much as I would've loved that."

"Oh yeah, how much is that sword?" Gareth asked curious.

"Well... according to Hephaistos, it's 400 million valis, but as I am an acquaintance she dropped it to 350 million which is still colossal enough." Bell stated.

"damn that's a lot, how much money do you have on you?" Tiona asked thinking ' that's almost thrice my urga'

"I have about 40 million, after the casino incident and other things but this doesn't compare to that, I need money fast," Bell sighed in defeat.

"Well good luck with that, but I ban you from going to the dungeon until the day we go down," Finn said. Bell groaned in defiance but decided to comply, instead he took out his anger another way.

"Hey you say I can't go to the dungeon, but can I go if I don't fight?" Bell asked.

"Bell, besides fighting why else would you go to the dungeon?" Riveria asked grabbing her forehead.

"To train others..." Bell simply stated.

"and who would you train?" Riveria asked starting to get irritated.

"... people," Bell said looking away. A tick appeared on Riveria's head.

"gah, god damn it, Bell just stay still for a few days will you?" Riveria scolded him.

"momma is pissed," Loki said shivering.

"alright fine, I guess I will spend my time drinking and turn into someone like Bete," Bell said whining like a 5 year old.

"why ya using me as an example damn rabbit," Bete growled.

"Bell.." Riveria called out in a cold tone, Bell stop and shook furiously, "turn into someone like him and I will make you regret living on, understood?" Riveria threatened with her staff. Lefiya could not see enough of Bell cowering in fear, although, he would probably be fine taking her spells... probably.

"yes ma'am," he saluted, "o-on another note, wanna get lunch together later?" Bell asked quietly.
"s-sure, I'll meet you at the entrance at 12," Riveria said. Bell left away to do his own thing leaving behind Riveria.

"so... you two a thing now huh?" Loki asked. Riveria blushed.

"No... not yet," she told them.

"yet!?" Lefiya said as she fainted. Muttering something like, "the princess of elves will be defiled by a human'

Timeskip until the Balor hunt

The 4 made it to the 20th floor. "let's push through to the 25th floor," Finn said as Riveria and gareth nodded. But Bell was in thought. "Bell? Did you hear me?" Finn asked concerned.

"Hm. Ah right, but before that I had a question," Bell said.

"Well what is it?" Finn asked a bit curious.
