Man, everyone wanted Ais to be Bell's Waifu but I don't blame them anyways let's continue where we left Off
Currently Welf was using his sword to cutting through some monsters while Bell was blasting some monsters away
Welf: hey Bell you I appreciate the help but please don't over do it.
Bell: Don't worry I won't
Elsewhere
We see the Elf from last time Killing some Al-Miraj's at incredible speeds while Peter disappeared in the blink of an eye and then came back 6 seconds with a bunch of magic stones
Mikato: so that's the power of first class adventurer.
Peter: come on we don't have much time for all we know Bell could be fighting to the death with monsters right now.
Hestia: yes let's hurry
They start walking but they then see a bunch of boulders in the way
Ryu: what happened here?
Ouka: seems like a cave-in
Peter: well no dip Sherlock!
Ryu starts climbing the rocks
Hestia slowly starts walking to the huge amounts of boulders and she then pulls out a knife from the rocks
Hestia: t-this is Bell's
Ryu then finishes climbing and sees some potions, magic stones, and even some weapons
Peter: remember we should go to floor 18 that's where they probably are.
Ouka: but why wo-
Peter: didn't you pay attention earlier I said that they would probably go to floor 18 since I can't either sense them and because they still haven't come back and as proof that Bell isn't dead Hestia can still feel the blessing that she gave Bell as long as she says he isn't dead he isn't dead Capeesh
Ouka: Capeesh
Peter: good.
Ryu: the more time we waste talking the more time we're giving monsters to kill Mr.Cranel so shut up and move.
Peter: ok.
With Bell
Welf: Ignite Heretic Magic will of the Wisp
Welf starts to collapse
Bell: Welf come on wake up! Damn it it's mind down hey Lili what should we do?
But he sees Lili and the floor
Bell: oh come on.
Bell then takes Lili's backpack off and picks up both Wefl and Lili
Bell: we're gonna make it don't worry I'll make sure of it.
He continues flying until he finds a hole 🕳
Bell: (this should be floor 17 let's just hope we have enough time to spare)
Bell then floats down to the bottom
Elsewhere
Hestia: why do you want to help Bell, Hermès?
Hermès: I told you I just want to help an old fri-
Hestia: just stop it I'm not stupid so tell me why?
Hermès: are you sure about that?
Hestia: I will kill you.
Hermès: not if my familia kills you first. But as for your question the boy has caught my attention and of another God that shall not be named.
Hestia: wait you don't mean-
Hermès: yes HE is now interested in the boy but he never told me why.
Hestia: (well Fook)
Back with our favorite monke
Bell: oh you've got to be kidding me! There's more?!
He the looks to his side
Bell: That's the great wall of Lamentation (dang it that mean Goliath is just about ready to spawn, but Lili said that if we hurry we can just barely make it let's just hope that's true. Don't fail me now body)
Bell starts to fly across the room
But he hears cracks coming from. The wall and sees Goliath coming out of there
Bell: oh my God, it's hideous!
Goliath: they ask you if your fine but your not really fine but you've got to say that your fine
[A/N: I do these for a reason and that reason if for people that have slow Wi-Fi can enjoy the memes ok back to the story]
Goliath: roooaarrr (you mother facker!)
Bell: "think I mad him angry now time to spilt" he says as he flies faster
Goliath: "rooaarr (get over here!)" It screams while trying to grab Bell
Bell: "Yeeeeet!" He yells while diving down another hole
He then starts rolling along with Welf and Lili
Goliath: roarr (come back here!)
Bell: (they see me rolling he hating- OOF! Think I broke another rib)
Bell falls face first on the ground but not and rock but on grass
Bell looks up and sees somebody's heels
Bell: "help my friends please, I beg of you" He says while coughing up some blood and finally fainting
The woman is then revealed to be ais the woman that captured the heart of our protagonist but he still doesn't know it
Ais: (I need to bring him to the campsite)
Time skip
Bell's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around me and saw that I was in a tent I sit up to look for Welf and Lili but I was met with the pain of the two broken ribs that I had and I coughed up a drop of blood hey at least I was coughing up the handful of blood like before but I then heard a voice
???: are you alright?
I look to my side and sees Ais by my side
"Hello" I say while sitting back up
Ais: easy there Bell I don't want you getting hurt.
"M-Miss Ais what are you doing here?" I ask her
"Well my familia is just coming back from our expedition and we've been camping here at floor 18" she responded
"Wait are my friends ok" I says while trying to get up but suddenly my body decides to remind me that I have a broken leg by sending a pain through my leg I fall down but Miss Ais catches me and I then notice that I fell in between her breast (soft, wait now bad Bell get a hold of yourself!) I try to stand by myself again but she catches me again
Ais: please sit down your badly injured
"Ok" I responded immediately obeying her
I look behind me and I see Welf and Lili in some sleeping bags
Ais: "don't worry they're fine Riveria and the others already treated their wounds, however your injuries were much more serious and they couldn't heal you properly but they were able to almost heal one of your ribs but were able to completely heal you others wounds expect the broken leg and the other rib but your healing a lot faster than possible so you should be fine by tomorrow" she says while brushing my hair out of my face
"Oh thank you very much" I say while I feel my face heat up and there it is again that same feeling
Ais: think you can walk?
"well not walk but I can fly." I told her
Ais: you can fly?
"yep I can fly, that's how I got here" I responded
Ais: "I don't think that would be a good idea you should focus most of your energy on trying to recover here let me help you" she says while sticking her hand out
"Thank you Miss Ais"
Ais: Don't worry about it and please call me Ais
"Ok sure" I say as I grab her hand
Ais: you should go inform my party leader about what happened .
We then start walking to the tent
[A/N: something like this, sadly I couldn't find any other picture that didn't have flowers oh well]
At the tent
When I got to the tent I met a dwarf named Gareth, an elf named Riveria, and a prum named Finn
Gareth: hahaha so you got to floor 18 on your first trip to the middle floors and now only that but you ran past the floor boss
"I just got lucky, but anyways I am really thankful for helping us I would bow down as a thank you but I would fall down"
Finn: you have been through quite a lot, so please feel free to stay as our guest.
"Thank you very much Sir and if I can do anything to help please just ask"
Finn: well I could never abandon someone that Ais cares about see would never speak to me again
I then saw Ais shoot a I kill you later look didn't think she had it in her not gonna lying, but suddenly my heart started beating even faster than before and I felt warm inside I may not know what this feeling is but it feels good.
Then all 4 of them chuckle and hearing them all laugh like that makes me want to laugh too so I let out a small chuckle
Finn: the reason why we're here camping in the 18th floor is because some members of our party got poisoned by some monsters, so we sent our fastest runners to the surface and we will stay here until they return.
Back to 3RD POV
Ais then grabs Bell a bit more firmly in order to make sure he doesn't fall Bell keeps trying to convince her but she won't budge so he gave up and once they open the door they are met by the Amazon sisters
Tiona: hey it's Mr. Argonaut.
Tione: hey Ais.
Ais: hello Tiona and Tione
Tione: so your finally awake, thank goodness I was worried about you Mr. Argonaut.
Bell: umm thanks but why are you calling me that?
Tione: you idiot he doesn't even know that's his new nickname.
Tiona: "well we just happened to see your fight with the minotaur an dit reminded me of a fairy tale that I used to read as a little girl your my hero she" she says while jumping onto Bell and putting her non-existence chest on his arm
Tiona: "oh come on getting to floor 18 just a couple days of being a level 2 is much more impressive than defeating some silly minotaur" she says while putting her face only about a couple of inches away from his
Bell was a bit confused so he took a step back but he took a step back on his broken left which made him fall
Tione and Tiona : oh my god are you ok?
Ais grabbed both of them and put them to the side and helped Bell get back up and continued carrying him elsewhere while Bell's tail was wagging happily and the best part is that Bell didn't even notice his tail wagging
Tiona: we are so gonna tease her after this
Tione: damn right we are.
Ais then continues to carry Bell through the forest Bell then looks up with a look of confusion
Ais: what wrong Bell?
Bell: well aren't we still in the dungeon why is it so bright then?
They then reach at clearing and Bell decides to look up and he then sees a bunch of crystals
Bell: oh so that's why.
Ais: yep that is the reason it's so bright down here the light fades in here from time to time making it day and night.
Bell: cool
Ais: some people call this place "the Under resort" or "the labyrinth paradise" , we should probably go back and you should get some rest.
Bell: ok Ais.

Bell: she was right about the crystals
Bell heard some noises coming from behind and he sees Welf and Lili waking up (FYI: bell is floating)
Welf: where in the heck are we
Lili: I have no idea
Bell: hello do you guys remember anything do you know your names? do you know me?
Lili: there's nothing that could ever make me forget you Master bell except memory manipulating spell.
Welf: And I remember that speaky rat voice as well so I'm fine
Lili: I'm sorry I wasn't stronger.
Welf: yeah and I bet I was a huge burden on you especially with that broken leg and rib of your.
Bell: no don't worry about that if it wasn't for you Lili we wouldn't have even known about floor 18 and if we didn't have you Welf we would be a barbecue right now.
Bell: "Hmmm barbecue" he says while letting out a bit of drool
Welf: hehe.
Ais: Hey Bell the food is ready, oh it seems you friends are awake..
Ais: "why are you flying I told you not too" she says as she scowls
Welf: oops sword princess... wait a minute since when could you fly?!
Bell: how else do you think we got here?
Welf: I don't know how about teleporting?
Realization suddenly hits Bell like truck-kun hits MC's
Bell: I've could have teleported us there was more than enough time to teleport you and then come back for Lili.
Ais: I'll ask questions later but as for now" she says while grabbing Bell's hand "stop flying I want you to all your energy to healing so please stop flying or else I'll have to make stop."
Bell: but how will I get to the food then?
Ais: simple I'll help you walk there or carry either one
Bell: I'll take help walking
Ais: very well then come on
Bell puts his arm around Ais and they go walking to the campsite
Welf: ... since when could Bell fly?!
Le timeskip
Finn: our guest are 3 brave adventurers that risked they're lives to make it all the way to floor 18 so please make our fellow adventurers feel welcome.
Bell, Welf, Lili: thank you for having us
Everyone then started eating and talking with friends
[A/N: now I feel depressed]
Ais: "here Bell have some" she says while giving a fruit
Bell: thanks but what is it?
Ais: it's some floor 18 dungeon fruit
Bell: "fruit growing in the dungeon that's new." He says as he takes a bite
Bell: ugh that's way too sweet
Lili: "what you don't like it if it's too sweet for you I'll eat it." She then opens her mouth
Bell: "yeah sure here." He says while about to put the fruit in her mouth
Welf: "hey let me taste some of that" he says as he grabs the fruit "ugh how can something be so sweet"
Lili: you jerk!
Lili then starts kicking Welf while eat was eating some bread
Tione: hey Mr. Argonaut~ come on tell us how you got all you abilities above S RANK.
Tiona: yeah give us all the juicy details.
Bell gave a look towards Ais which was practically screaming help so she decided to step in
Ais: come on give him some space don't you see your making him uncomfortable.
Tiona: "oh but why are YOU so interested in him" she says as she pokes Ais in the cheek
Tione: yeah you've been with him all day let us have some fun, or maybe you want him for yourself~
Ais gets up and hits both of them in the head leaving a comedic bump and their heads
Ais: (they don't know when to shut up)
Everyone then hears screaming from a distance and it sounded like it was getting closer
Bell: "what's that" he says as he starts flying over there
Everyone: He can fly?!
Once Bell gets to the source of the screaming he sees Hestia
Bell: goddess what are you doing here?
Hestia starts to tear up and she then jumps towards Bell however Bell dodges
Hestia: hey why did you dodge I'm trying to hug you!
Bell: I'm sorry but right now one of my ribs are broken and so in my left leg so I am really flattered that your that happy to see me but I want to use my own legs for walking soon.
Hestia: oh ok
She then sees Ais walking towards them
Hestia: what's Ms. Wallenstein doing here?
Bell: oh she helped us when we were injured and they even welcomed us.
Hestia: oh in that case thank you very much for saving Bell Ms. Wallenstein
Ais: Don't worry about it
Ryu: are you ok Mr. Cranel?
Bell: Ryu?
Ryu: shh.
Peter: hey Bell
Bell: Peter? What are you doing here?
Peter: well I heard that you were in trouble so I came to help you.
Bell: well thank you for coming.
Peter: "don't worry oh and here eat this" he says while pulling out a green bean
Bell: what's this?
Peter: it's a senzu bean I grow them regularly and I have quite a bunch of them and by eating the bean all physical damage gets healed and all your stamina is restored.
Bell: "sweet" he says while eating the bean
Bell: "oh yeah that's that good stuff!" He yells while releasing his energy
Peter: woah you just got stronger
Bell: that did the trick.
Hermès: hey aren't you Bell Cranel
Bell: yeah that's me.
Hermès: "so it is you hehe, nice to meet you my name is Hermès." He says as he sticks out his hand
Bell: "nice to meet you Hermès and thank you for coming" He says while shaking Hermès hand
Hermès: "anything for my friend Hestia and plus you should be thanking them their the main reason we're here after all" he says while pointing towards mikato and the others
Bell: oh it's them.
Timeskip brought to you by Bell using instant transmission to go to the surface to get food
Mikato: we are so sorry.
Bell: come on you can stop apologizing.
Miakto: what we did was inexcusable and I take full responsibility for this.
Ouka: no if anyone is going to take responsibility for this it's me after all I was the party leader and I still don't think it was the wrong Decision.
Welf: you have a lots of nerves to say that while I'm here
Ouka: I don't care.
Bell: well that doesn't matter the important thing is that we're all alive so let's just forget this ever happened ok?
Lili: if that makes you happy
Welf: fine I guess I'll let it go but in no way in hell I'm accepting this.
Ouka: that's ok with me
Hermès: good. Ehem asfi
Asfi: we need to head back to the surface but we should wait for the Loki Familia to defeat Goliath, they'll be ready to go in about 2 days at the minimum.
Hermès, Peter, and Bell: so in other words we have an entire day to kill
Peter: it's a rare opportunity to let's get some rest for tomorrow.
Lili: goodnight master Bell
Bell: "good night Lili" he says as he walks out of the tent
Hestia: hey Welf.
Welf: yes Lady Hestia.
Hesta: "Hephaestus wanted me to give you this" she says as she give him something wrapped in a cloth "along with a message"
Welf then scowls
Bell is then seen looking up at the crystals
Bell: kinda hard to believe that this is the dungeon
Ais: Bell why are you standing up?!
Bell: oh I'm fine now I can walk now.
Ais: but you were just injured not too long ago.
Bell: yeah an old friend of my grandpa gave me a bean that heal all physical injuries and restores stamina so I ate it and now I'm fine.
Ais: well that's good to hear
Bell: but what are you doing here Ais?
Ais: I saw you floating around so I came to check up on you, I was- I was worried you Bell
Bell then feels his heart skip a beat and he starts to blush a bit
Ais: sorry if that bugs you.
Bell: no no let at all I'm glad your worried, wait no I'm not glad that you were worried but ugh, what I'm trying to say is thank you for watching out for me.
Ais: you know bell how about you try relaxing a bit more ok? (How cute)
Bell: ok sure.
Ais: When are you guys heading out?
Bell: not until all of you guys leave, but Tomorrow everyone is going to take it easy since they're all pretty tired.
Ais: so you'll get to see the city.
Bell: hold on there's a city down here as well?
Ais: yup, and judging by the look on your face your looking forward to it.
Bell: of course I am! Hmm a city wonder what it'll be like?
Ais: well it's very different from what you would expect.
Bell: well then I'll see you tomorrow.
Ais: see you tomorrow Bell
With Welf
Flashback
Welf: I refuse never again
Hephaestus: very well then so no more magic swords but you'll regret it when someone you care for gets hurt so please don't make your friends pay for your stubbornness.
Flashback ends
Welf: damn it
With Peter
He was able to stop Lili from interrupting bell and Ais by putting his hand over her mouth
Peter: (Zeus would be so proud to see Bell like this)
So I have a question for you guys who do you want to defeat Goliath
Bell or Peter but personally I want Bell to beat him but also Peter to kill Goliath but let's just say if you chose Bell 2 giant's will fight and he will also get stronger changing the story a bit
Bell
Peter
