- You are escorting Ryuu to the Hostess of Fertility. after the date, the two of you have gotten closer -
"So, I guess we'll see each other on the next mission?" You ask her
"Yeah! I'll just inform you once another attack will begin." Ryuu answers
"Bye!" You say before leaving, but she hugs you from behind
"I'm truly happy that you joined me on this mission." She solemnly says
"So, will it be only the two of us? Or are we recruiting more?" You ask her as you turned around to face her, her eyes shine brightly at the idea
"If anyone will want to join. Though, I'm sure we can handle it by ourselves." She says, looking up into your (E/C) eyes before yawning
"Alright, you need sleep. You have work, and Mama Mia might blame me if you don't work tomorrow." You say, laughing slightly while she almost doses off onto you
"*yawn* See you next mission." Ryuu says as she kisses you on the cheek before going inside the building
- You touch your cheek, surprised, it could be the exhaustion which made her do it, but you're not dense (I'm looking at you other MC's), you sigh happily before heading back home. You wear your mask to avoid being seen. As you were walking, you pass by an alleyway that gives a shortcut, but to your surprise, you see Bell holding off a man as a young girl is behind her on the ground -
"Hey! What are you doing!?" You shout at the guy, Bell looks at you, he didn't recognize you because of the mask, but the pendants gave it away
"You stay out of this!" He shouts in an arrogant tone, not even looking at you
"(Y/N)!" Bell shouts in glee
"You know this, Bozo!?" He says as he turns his head to look at you, but when he sees the pendants, immediately went pale and started to sweat profusely
- With the use of the Nurse's blink skill, you teleport to his side before putting your arm on his shoulder -
"Come on, friend! Don't be like that! Now, what's the problem?" You intimidatingly say to him, tightening your grip on his shoulder, he winces in pain at the sheer strength of your grip
"T-that B-b-brat stole s-something from m-me." He says, his voice shaking in fear
"I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding." You say, he nods furiously
"Yes! Just a m-misunderstanding!" He nervously says
"Alright, now scram! Before I turn you into one of my pendants!" You shout at him as you push him outside the alley
"*sigh* Thank you (Y/N)!" Bell says while bowing his head
"How'd you know it was me?" You ask him
"The pendants. You are the only one with those things." He answers, which made you scratch your head awkwardly for the dumb question you just asked
"So, who's the girl?" You ask him
"Oh, right. That girl... huh? She's gone?" Bell says as he turns around but finding that the girl was gone
- You know that the girl was just hiding behind the wall, but you decided to go home and not interfere anymore -
"Let's go home, Bell. I'm sure Goddess is worried about us." You lead him through the alleyway
<Timeskip>
- You wake up and take a look around the room. You were the only one around. Bell was nowhere to be found, while Hestia already went to Hephaestus to work. You grumble slightly, still not fond of Hestia working for another God. As you were getting ready for the day, you saw another letter at the table, you pick it up and read -
"Hey, (Y/N)! I tried to wake you up this morning, but you didn't budge, so I went ahead. Join me in the dungeon if you want." Bell's letter read
"Not again!" You shout before you frantically brush your teeth and put on your armor
<Timeskip>
- You were running towards the dungeon. Hoping to catch up with Bell before he goes to the lower floors, but you saw him sitting on the edge of a fountain with a girl -
"Hey, Bell, who's your little friend?" You ask him, the two turned to look at you, at first you thought this was the pallum you saw yesterday, but the sight of her ears made you think otherwise
"Oh! Hi, (Y/N) this is Liliruca Arde! A supporter! She's a Chienthrope!" Bell happily introduces
"Cute! I'm (Y/N)!" You introduce, doing a small wave
"Are you two in the same Familia?" Lili asks
"Yeah! (Y/N) is the Familia's leader! He's level tw-." Bell starts before you cover his mouth
"Two! I'm level two!" You shout, before glaring at Bell, not wanting to give away your level, Lili just looks at you quizically before going back to what she was saying
"So misters, how about it? Do you need a supporter?" She offers, with a cheerful tone
"Well, I was just thinking I'd like to have one. How about you (Y/N)?" Bell asks, you just shrug in response
"It's your choice Bell." You answer
"Really?" Then would you take me, mister?" She asks Bell, seeing that he's the one to decide, while still having her cheerful tone
"I'm so poor... I don't know if I've got enough to get by on right now." She continues, shifting her tone from cheerful to sad
'You poor girl.' You thought to yourself, ignoring the sudden change of emotion, and wanting to recruit her already
"And having a boy touch something so important to me... You need to take responsibility, don't you?" She says, shyly petting her left ear, Bell's face becomes tomato red after hearing this
"Bell! What did you do to this little girl!?" You ask him, gritting your teeth
"N-no! I-I just t-touched her ear! T-That's all!" Bell nervously responded
"*sigh* Alright! Since you did that, I guess she can be our supporter for the day." You sigh
"Thank you!" She shouts in a super cute tone
<Timeskip>
- You, Bell, and Lili were on the seventh-floor, killing Killer Ants. You still couldn't believe that Bell already reached the floor in so little time. But then you noticed something new -
"Nice armor, Bell! Where'd you get it?" You ask him
"Me and Miss Eina went to buy me some armor so I can be prepared for the lower floors!" Bell relays
"Oh! A date with Miss Eina, Eh? I'm sure Goddess would love to hear about that!" You tease him
"I'm sure Goddess would love to hear more about your date with Ryuu." Bell teases back, which made you nervous
"You saw that!" You shout, frantically running towards him
- While both of you were bickering. Lili is eyeing up your pendants -
'How much would one of those pendants sell?' She thought to herself, the pendant gleaming in the light made it look valuable, so she decided to steal one or two along with Bell's knife
"Bell, you're so strong!" She praises, wanting to trick Bell into a false sense of security
"You truly have grown, Bell!" You join in the praising
"Well, I'm sure part of it is because of your weapon." Lili continues
"You might be right. I think I may rely on this knife a little too much, yeah." Bell says, looking at the knife
"That's fine, Bell! Besides, the knife was given to you by Goddess! You should appreciate it!" You say to him
"Talking about Familias, what Familia are you with, Lili?" Bell asks, you stare at her, also waiting for an answer
"Oh, right, the Soma Familia." She answers as she picks up the magic stone on the ground, her tone giving off a hint of sadness
"I see." Bell says in understanding, while you nod at his remark
"Anyway, Bell, would you grab that magic stone? I think it's not too deep in. I'll grab the ones on the ground. After that, we'll call it a day." Lili says, pointing at the Killer Ant that was still alive but is almost decapitated
- Lili hands Bell a knife, it will act as a decoy for his original knife, so Lili can steal it. Bell tries to cut the part connecting the Killer Ant's head to the body but is having a hard time, so you assist him, once you two are both preoccupied. Lili moves closer and swiftly steals the knife, seeing as you two are still busy, she steals the Huntress pendant and swiftly hides it in one of the pockets in the bag -
'Got it!' She thought to herself, already imagining the Valis she might get from this
- After quite some time, you and Bell finally managed to kill the Killer Ant and take the magic stone -
"So, shall we head home?" Bell asks, you agree
<Timeskip>
"A supporter from the Soma Familia, huh?" Eina says in a low tone
"Is that a problem?" Bell asks, worried, you also listen in on the conversation, wanting to know more about the said Familia
"They're a familia focused on dungeon exploring, and they also sell some alcohol. That much is normal, but... they all seem desperate for some reason. Like they're pushing themselves to the limit." She explains, her face shows signs of worry and confusion about the behaviors of the Soma Familia members
"Anyway, what did you think, Bell, (Y/N)? About this, Liliruca." Eina continues, diverting the conversation
"I think she's great. Thanks to her, We were able to get all this!" Bell happily answers
"Yeah, she's great..." You also say, slowly trailing off
"I see. Then I'm not opposed to it. The rest is up to you two. In the end, you have to make the decision!" She says, giving the both of you a satisfied smile
"Thank you! Bye!" Both you and Bell say simultaneously, both of you turned to leave, but Eina calls out to Bell in a worried tone
"Bell?" Eina half-shouted, wanting to get his attention
"Yes?" Bell says as he turns around, but you keep walking to the exit
"Where's your knife?" Eina asks, in a worried tone, you turn around with a surprised look, Bell tries to grab the knife from the scabbard, but he doesn't find it
"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Bell says, still trying to find the knife around his body, Bell gets a nervous look before coming to a conclusion
"I dropped it!?" Bell shouts, which made you run over to him to assist
[With Lili]
- Lili is currently inside Bom Cornwall's store. Bom Cornwall, a Gnome, attributed to the Spirit Race, he is the one who buys Lili's stolen items, out of pity. He takes a good look at the knife before giving Lili the price -
"30 Valis." He says, which made Lili gasp in surprise and confusion
"It can't cut anything. It's junk. The blade is dead." He concludes
- Lili takes the knife from the counter and goes out, but Bom notices something in Lili's other hand -
"Lili, what's in your other hand?" He asks, with slight fear in his voice
- Lili opens her other hand, showing a pendant which made Bom go wide-eye, he starts to sweat profusely -
"Where did you get that!?" He shouts in fear
"That's none of your concern! What? You wanna buy it?" Lili says, putting it into the counter
"As much as that would sell to Mages, Gods, and other people, that thing is too dangerous in your possession. Please tell me that you didn't take it from the Godkiller himself!?" He explains
"I found it on the ground." Lili lies, Bom looks at her suspiciously before dismissing it
"Then please, take it back to where you found it! The Godkiller isn't someone to trifle with!" He advises, worried for Lili
"Alright..." Lili says as she walks out of the shop, still mad about the low value of the knife, but also curious why a pendant caused so much concern
'No way! A weapon that tore through all those monsters without even getting knicked is only worth thirty Valis? That's impossible!' She thought to herself, but her attention was caught by the pendant emitting a black smoke
"What's so special about you that made Bom sweat?" She says to herself, looking at it with great interest
- But before she could inspect it more, she saw two girls walking towards her. Lily hides the stolen knife to avoid suspicion, but as they pass each other, the yellow-haired girl called her -
"Stop right there, Prum. Show me the knife that's concealed in your sleeve. It's similar to one a friend has. I want to check it." Ryuu says, seeing the knife on the little girl's hands
"I'm sorry, but this is mine. You must be mistaken." She responds, her voice shaking a little bit, her grip on the knife tightening
"Nonsense. I only know one person with a hieroglyph weapon." Ryuu says, putting up a coin in her hand
- Ryuu suddenly flicks the coin like a projectile into the knife, the force of the hit made Lili drop it, but she held on to the pendant. Lili runs away to avoid being caught by the girl, but as she was running out of the alley, she suddenly stumbles upon Bell -
"L-Lili!" Bell says, surprised
"Bell." She says also surprised by who she stumbled upon
- Ryuu runs out of the alley, hoping to catch the thief, but she skidded to a halt when she sees Bell and the girl with her hood down showing dog ears -
"A chientrope?" She says, confused, Syr follows her out of the alley
"Ryu... Syr, too!" Bell says, surprised at the occurrence before he returns to his original goal, he stands up
"Oh, right! Did either of you see a knife that's all black from top to bottom? The knife is all black-." Bell says frantically, Syr and Ryuu look at each other before showing Bell the knife
"This?" Ryuu says, holding the knife in front of Bell
"My knife..." Bell says, not believing what he's seeing before tears start to form in his eyes
- Bell quickly rushes to Ryuu, holding his knife while accidentally caressing Ryuu's left hand. Syr looks in surprise at the scene happening before her eyes -
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Bell shouts, still caressing her hand
"Mister Cranel..." She says, avoiding eye contact with Bell
"Hey! Did you find it?" You run over to them, but get startled by the scene happening
"Um... Please... You should be doing this with Syr, not me." She says, you sigh in relief hearing those words
"Ryuu, what are you saying?" Syr shouts, embarrassed by Ryuu's remark
- Bell & Ryuu looks to the side and sees you, they quickly let go of each other's hand and composed themselves -
"Here you are, then." Ryuu says, properly handing Bell the knife
"I'm so glad..." Bell says, he takes the knife, and it glows, getting the attention of Lili
"I'm sorry, Goddess! I'll never drop it again." Bell says, putting his other hand in praise like position
"Drop it?" Ryuu asks, Lili quickly removes eye contact from the others, scared to show her face after, and not wanting to be caught by you and Bell
"Hi, Ryuu, Syr! And, yeah! Bell being careless, drops the important gift Goddess gave him." You say, walking to them before giving Bell a noogie, Ryuu shifts nervously, remembering the embarrassing position you saw her with Bell
"Where did you find it?" Bell asks, relieved that his weapon was still found
"I didn't so much find it. A prum had it." She explains
"Prum?" You and Bell say simultaneously, Lili lowers her head in grief
- Syr looks at the little girl and concludes that she isn't that bad, having pity on her, she smiles at the little girl's reaction, she shows grief, a redeemable trait which shows she stole for survival and not for her own greed -
"We'll be going, then. Bye (Y/N)!" Ryuu says while doing a bow, wanting to leave the awkward situation she got into
"Th-Thank you." Bell thanks once again
"Yeah! Thank you! For finding Bell's weapon!" You also show your gratitude, putting your hand over Bell
"Don't be too much of a brat, okay?" Syr whispers, to Lili, before leaving with Ryuu
"Come on, Bell! I was gone for a couple of minutes, and you're already taking Ryuu away from me." You tease him, putting him in a headlock
"It was an accident!" Bell argues before removing the headlock
"Yeah, I know." You say, giving Bell a smile
- Bell approaches Lili, not knowing that she was the one who stole his knife, You and Bell wanted to recruit her again, seeing how easy it was to go to the dungeon alongside a supporter -
"Good timing, though. I was actually looking for you." Bell says, diverting the conversation, Lili gasps at what Bell said
"Um, Lili. Would you go into the dungeon with us tomorrow?" You say, continuing what Bell was saying, Lili turns around, she looks at the two of you smiling at her
<Timeskip>
- Bell & Goddess was already sleeping, you stayed up and started to polish and clean your gear. You started with your scythe, named Entity's Grasp -
"Ptah says you can absorb magic. I haven't used the feature that much. Where can I get someone that can create magic weapons?" You ask yourself, imagining the perks it could give you
"The knight says The Crozzo's were the only one who can make some, but they already work for the Rakia Kingdom." You continued your pondering as you count through the pendants
"Wait!?" You half-shouted to not wake up Bell and Hestia
"1 2 3 4 5 6 7... 19" You counted, stopping at 19
- You take all the pendants, using the Nurse's blink skill, you teleported to a secluded area. Breaking all of them, after you look at all of them, you see the Huntress missing -
"The Huntress! Oh! How can I be so Reckless!?" You shout in frustration
"Dismiss!" You order them, the killers all turn back to their pendants, and you pick them up one-by-one
"I need to find it quickly!" You shout as you teleported back to the church, someone in possession of a pendant is in grave danger, you say as you recall the creation of the Demogorgon
- You spent the night looking around town, trying to find the pendant you lost -
<><><>
Welp, this is chapter 18, bye.
[IMPORTANT]
You guys heard what Ryuu said, "If anyone will want to join.", so if you want you can lend me some oc's you made that will fit Danmachi, the characters will help us weaken the Rakia Kingdom, just message me! And please give me characters with different classes, I don't want to go on a crusade with all knights, or make a creed with all assassins, just message me, give me the level, appearance, skills, stats, etc. (Pls don't make your characters too overpowered)
As you can see, this chapter is longer than the others, so this is the good news(I don't know if you think this is good news), but I think that we are progressing too slowly on the story with only 1000+ words on each chapter. So this chapter is 3000 words, and every chapter after this will also be. Thank you! Bye!
Thank you also for reading my story, it's almost at 2000, I hope you continue to read my story.
