"Godkiller? That's a new one! And I never thought I'd get that from you... Gale!" You say, making her flinch
"How do you know that name!?" She snaps, tightening her grip on the knife, putting it closer to your neck
"Nice hair color! But I prefer the original!" You tease her more
"Tell me! Or I shall slit your throat right here! Right now!" She angrily replies
"Does 80 Million Valis ring a bell?" You ask her, making her lower the knife in shock
'My bounty? Does that mean...' Ryuu thought to herself
"You're here f-for my b-bounty?" She nervously asks
"I was going to try before... but I heard about what happened to your Familia, so I left you alone. Besides, I know how painful it is to lose a family." You explained
"What do you know about loss!? You're just a bounty hunter hired to kill Ares!" She snaps pointing the knife at you
"That's just a rumor. The truth is, Ares Familia killed my family during their raids. I have faith in you, I thought there was a deeper reason for you're killing spree rather than just sport, and I was right. I would appreciate it if you have faith in me too." You say with sorrow in your voice
- Ryuu drops her knife and looks at you apologetically. You nod understandingly at her remark, but sadness is still plastered in your face. You wanted to leave, this conversation will just make you both remember the past, you went to leave, but to your surprise, she... hugged you -
"I'm sorry... I didn't know! I shouldn't have judged you so early. How can I repay you? I'll do anything, please!" She pleads before fully understanding what she said to a GUY
"ANYTHING~." You say to her with a creepy smile, slowly moving towards her
"N-no! that's not what I meant!" She nervously says as she moves backward
- Even with her pleads, you still moved towards her, she tried avoiding you, but she knows she couldn't do anything. A level 20, you are faster, stronger. Once she backs up in the wall with no opening to escape, she just closes her eyes and waits for it. You see the position she's in and went to close the distance more, you lean in closer and whisper -
"How about a date? Monsterphilia. 8:00, don't be late." You whisper before walking away
- You look back to her and see that she's a blushing mess. You chuckle at how cute she looks without her stoic expression. She looks back at you, shocked with what she got into, before calming herself down, nods at you, then walks into the kitchen. You see Bell outside waiting for you. You tried to walk to him, but Mia grabbed you. Now you're the one nervous. You may be level 20, but the aura she lets out shakes you to the core -
"Y-yes, Ma'am?" You ask shakingly
"I heard what you said to Ryuu, that girl had a rough past! And I wouldn't want you ruining her future! Make sure you take care of her! Alright!" She orders
"Y-yes, Ma'am!" You answer still nervous
- To your relief, Mia lets you go. You walked outside, after taking a look at Bell, you see he also has the same frightened expression as you -
"Don't worry, Bell. The nightmare is over. We got out of the Bar." You say patting him in the back
<Timeskip>
- You and Bell are currently going to the entrance of the dungeon. You see that monster cages are being hoisted upwards for the Monsterphilia. You always wanted to go there, and now you can, alongside a date, which made it even better. You look at Bell and see that he is eyeing up all the other adventurer's equipment, so you decided to talk to him -
"Hey, Bell. What do you think Goddess is doing right now?" You ask him, diverting his attention from the weapons to you
"I don't know, maybe she's doing something professional right now!" Bell answers proudly
~ Meanwhile at the God's Banquet ~
"That's hilarious. You came to laugh at me, when everyone's going to be laughing at you? What's with your utterly sad... FLAT CHEST?!" Hestia mocks... (well... you know who already)
~ Back to you and Bell ~
"So uhh... Bell. Remember when I said that I will guide you all the way to the lower floors?" You sheepishly ask
"Yeah? What about it?" Bell asks
"I... need to check the lower floors and see how strong the monsters are, so if you're done with the dungeon, you can go home and don't wait for me." You explain, Bell looks saddened after hearing this
- After you went down a couple floors, you start to remember that no-one should see you taking on stronger monsters. So you decide to teleport home and get your equipment. You use the Nurse's power and warped home, once there you equip your armor, and a bag for the crystals and teleported back to where you were before -
(Not the scythe, I have a bone scythe I drew, I'll post a bio including it at a later date <I also don't own this image>)
'I need to get money so I can buy Bell some good equipment.' You thought to yourself
<Timeskip>
- You are now on the 20th floor killing Mad Beetles. You decide to summon all 20 of your killers for maximum effort, while Oni carries the bag full of crystals -
"Wow! These creatures are weak, it's kind of a letdown, but atleast I can get more Valis!" You blurted
"Onwards! This is for Bell! So make sure you kill anything that moves!" You order
<Timeskip>
"Whoo! 30 Million Valis! I'm pretty sure I can buy Bell a better weapon with this. I got to thank Ms. Eina for hiding and exchanging all the crystals privately, or adventurers would crowd around me."
- You are happily walking back to the Abandoned Church with your "Spoils of War". In exchange for your bountiful harvest, a new rumor has spread. Adventurers saw you wearing your armor commanding what appeared to be... monsters, so they thought of you as a new "Floor Boss". As you walk home, you hear adventurers getting pumped up to fight the new boss. You chuckle to yourself knowing, they are going to waste their time waiting. You entered inside the church and quickly hid the money, before announcing your arrival -
"I'm home!" You shout happily
