Is It Wrong to Try and Create a Family in a Dungeon City?

Chapter 3: Discussions and Turning Point

"Hey! What's with that look on your faces! And did you have to look so sad when you set my plate at the table?"

"Shut up and come over here and eat pervert/Grandpa." Hera and Bell said in unison as they started to eat their meals. With Zeus grumbling and getting away from the couch, Hera smiled and pointed at Bell with her fork in hand.

"Sooo~ Excited about your little trip that's going to happen in school today Bell? This is when your school is set to take a tour around the village's walls and even experience hunting down wolves and boars for the village!"

"Hmm...yeah I suppose. But it's gonna feel so long and boring until that happens! And I bet they won't let us in too deep in the woods to hunt!" Bell moaned as he dropped his head on the table as his plate was moved aside for his body to fall over the counter and groan.

"True, but this is your class's first hunting experience! Maybe you can show off to your friends and be the hero of your class~!" Hera cheered as Bell looked up at her with a pouting face.

"But you trained me and the guards to hunt. And I've caught a lot of animals when you took me out to the forests. You're a better teacher than my school is Granny." Bell said, and though Hera felt great pride and being praised by her cute grandson. Something about it felt like a pang in her chest. Especially when Bell finished his food and placed his plate in the sink and heading towards the front door.

"I'll try and bring us back some boar or wolf meat enough for a week or two? Any other animal I should bring back for supper or to barter?" Bell asked as he was in the middle of grabbing his backpack that was by the door and looked at his grandparents.

"Hmmm...nope! Just bring back whatever you want to and can sweetie! Be safe! And if you get in any trouble, just yell out for me and I'll come running!" Hera said proudly and her eyes twinkling like stars. Making Bell blush to the point his face was bright pink and mumblings left his lips.

"Granny~! Stop teasing and embarrassing me please! I'm a big boy now!"

"Never! You'll always be my precious little baby Bell!"

"What about me!?"

"What about you perv?" Hera said with a dull look at Zeus who groaned. Until he smiled and looked at Bell.

"While you're out there hunting, be sure to look cool to a girl in your class and start a-"

"Finish that sentence and I swear to god I will throw this fork hard enough it'll rip off what makes you a man and shove it down your throat!" Hera warned as she aimed her fork, ready to throw it between Zeus's legs. As the old man then promptly shut his mouth and crossed his legs to protect himself.

"*Sigh* Okay. Bye Granny, Grandpa! I'll be back!" Bell said as he slung his backpack over his shoulders and opened the door. Taking a single step before he blinked and took off his backpack. Opening it and clutching it on the sides as he shook it up and down behind him to let whatever he felt was inside fall into the livingroom.

And he thanked himself to remember why he did this every day before he left for school. As a magazine and a bright orange book dropped out of his bag onto the floor. Blushing as he saw what the magazine had on the front cover of it before it was censored by the falling book on top of it.

He then glared at his grandpa, who only flashed him a piece sign and grinned at him. All while Hera looked shocked and dropped her cup and fork in hand. Letting the coffee that was in the mug spill onto the table and floor.

"Grandpa...can you stop doing this please! I thought when Granny came in, she taught you to quit putting this stuff in my room and bags!"

"You're gonna have to learn to appreciate the finest and wonders of adult literacy someday my boy! It's best you learn them when you're young so you can-"
