5 Days Before Bell's Arrival

==============

Two people could be seen walking down the road just quietly talking to each other but no matter where they passed they were drawing everyone's attention but the duo completely disregarded their looks and continued on their way

If they paid attention to the looks they'd notice several different expressions especially those of envy from the males when they saw Hestia smiling happily as he held Issac's arm between her breast and the looks of longing the females held towards Issac but the most surprising would be the shocked looks from those in the crowd who saw Hestia's change, only to disappear to go report what they saw. Not like they'd care either way if they did notice.....

" are you really gonna take her for winning the bet? " asked a pouting Hestia as she tilted her head to look at Issac which caused him to shrug before looking at her, slight surprise flashed in his eyes as he stared at the now 160cm tall beauty and couldn't help remembering when she completed her transformation when they went home last night and the slight boost in power he received from her when she promoted

smiling wryly at the broad grin she had on her face at time he spoke

"what, is my Hestia jealous of a mortal?" asked Issac in a teasing tone only to receive a pinch in his side that actually made him wince from the sudden pain, making it even clearer of her increase in power

"why should I be jealous when you're only mine until sister Dianna is back" said Hestia in a matter of fact tone causing Issac to be speechless when he heard her and was wondering if telling her about him was the correct decision

" seems my little Hestia is becoming shameless since becoming a woman, makes me wonder where you learned to be so thick skinned" said Issac while grumbling only to start scratching his cheek when he saw the deadpanned look he received from Hestia which he completely ignored like nothing happened

" don't think I don't know you're changing the subject " replied Hestia seriously

Shaking his head and wondering where the air headed goddess went he pulled her closer so he could talk softer, which was now easier compared to the dwarf she was before which was met with another pinch when he saw her staring at him as if she knew his thoughts

"she's in to good a position for me to not take advantage of, information for a Familia and all I had to do is sacrifice my pure body for her to take advantage of" said Issac with a serious expression on his face while nodding his head like it was a fact which caused Hestia's cheek to twitch before she smiled wryly before changing the subject

....

When the duo finally entered the once boisterous guild since it was still early in the day, every one inside for whatever reason just happened to look up and see them and a silence suddenly prevailed as those who were there previously had flash backs of that day while those who weren't there were all confused as to why the atmosphere suddenly chilled and couldn't help but ask why

Some paled when they heard while other had incredulous expressions and a few haughty adventures had disdainful expressions as they looked at the duo make their way to the counter and the idea of embarrassing Issac couldn't help but blossom in their minds

Eina P.O.v

I couldn't stop thinking about what happened a few days and even though I knew there a low chance of me actually losing the bet a small part of me actually had a feeling I would...maybe I wanted to lose...

Shaking away the thought and continuing with my work to distract myself, the atmosphere in the guild suddenly changed and everyone fell quiet, and a feeling of dread appeared in the atmosphere but I didn't feel it, only the feeling of my rapidly beating heart and I felt my face heating up and y breathing started to become ragged causing my friends to ask me if I'm fine but I couldn't answer and just grabbed my chest and when I looked up, I saw the reason

He was here!!!!!WHY is he here? Did he come for me? Hehehehe....wait no this is the guild maybe he just came to sell his items. I couldn't help but feel disappointed when i thought of that possibility.... Wait why would I be disappointed, he means nothing to me, I'm only worried about him since he's a new adventurer and it's my job.....yes, yes that's it

I only snapped out my thoughts when I felt something warm on my face and I couldn't help but freeze when I saw him staring at me and i felt my face heating up once more especially when I heard his words

" ready to become mine? "

"I-I...
