Divine Bathhouse.

Gods sure knows how to be extravagant wherever they are. A place built and being manage by the Guild, solely for the Gods and Goddesses use only. It's an exclusive place that no mortals had and can step even a foot inside without exception. Some even says that even a rat won't be able to slip inside this place due the very tight security.

Still gritting her teeth, Hestia steadily made her way towards the huge golden pool of water. "Humph! This is why I never visit this place."

She was upset by the fact that she still has to pay a sizeable amount of money just to enter this place despite being a goddess herself, leading to her already very little savings disappearing into thin air.

'Why even build a bathhouse for Gods if you will still ask them for payments?'

Known as the 'golden bathhouse', this name comes without any hint of exaggeration at all as even the water here are literally Golden in color and steamy warm. A very mysterious but beautiful place - probably made by some sort of magic or skills of an adventurer.

She's not alone here, Hestia can see quite a lot of naked ladies in different ages, each of them has a peerless beautiful faces, regardless of the differences in their body figure. A thing that is very common to goddesses.

Hestia ignored them, she went on the side to clean herself first before dipping into the pool.

Putting down the very thin white silk-like clothin that was covering her body, a sight that can turn any man's knee into soft noodles appeared. Snow White skin so smooth without a single spot, curvy waist that looks very easy to hold with one arm, not too long but very seductive pair of legs and thighs and two great looking pair of pinkish white breast that stood very firm and proud. Hestia's face sure look very young as if that of a teenage child, probably even younger than Bell but her body can definitely put even that of mature woman to shame.

Pouring a dipper of water over her head to wet her hair, Hestia meticulous applied a thick looking liquid on her head. This liquid is the 'shampoo' of this world as it did make a lot of bubbles upon contact with the wet long black hair of Hestia.

Finished tending on her hair, Hestia proceeded onto her body, applying soap on it. She's very serious, not letting a single part of her skin uncleaned. It is after all, her first 'date' with Bell as what she called it so she has to go all out! Hestia then rinsed herself with water before finally dipping into the warm pool.

"Awaahh~ This is great..." She had her eyes closed fully enjoying the feeling of the warm water touching her smooth skin. It's not everyday she can experience this blissed especially after coming in the lower world or Gekai.

She's a bit too excited and even wanted the time to fast-forward so she can meet up with Bell very quickly. No reason at all, Hestia simply wanted to be with him most of the time.

Time slowly flew by. More and more Goddess comes and goes of the bathhouse. One of them was a gentle looking but very busty woman. She has a quite long honey colored hair that adds more charm to her. She sat next to Hestia.

"Never expected to see you here, Hestia. Hmm, let's see... hmm.. You are still as big as before.." she commented while looking at Hestia's chest.

"Isn't yours bigger?" Hestia nonchalantly replied looking at the woman that had approached her from the corner of her eyes. "You never changed, Demeter. You still love bathing on a place like this, it seems. Aren't you ashamed spending your familia's hard earned money on something like this?"

The two of them began to have a small conversation with each other.

"So Hestia, is there any specific reason you came here?" Demeter asked. It was very rare for Hestia to visit this place and it's not only because she's very poor but because Hestia isn't that type that like to bath in such a crowded places like this based on Demeter's memories. Hestia preferred bathing in natural water spring, lakes or brooks, she being here is definitely quite suspicious and intriguing.

"I think? I'm actually planning to meet up with someone after this so, I'm going all out I guessed?"

Saying up to this point made Hestia think of Bell's image inside her head and can't help but smile. Demeter saw this and was a bit shocked.

"Was it... a gentleman?"

"No." Hestia shook her head. Bell is still a little too young to be called a man after all. He's only 14 years old. "He is a child of my familia."

Demeter grew even more curious. She leaned closer at Hestia before looking at her eyes directly. Goddess to goddess serious talk. "Do you love him?"

"Of course! Very much." Hestia unhesitantly replied like its a matter of fact question.

"Goodness!" Demeter's eyes enlarged a little in surprise. She told up, a bit hurried. "Hey everyone, Hestia finally got a man!"

"Hey Demeter, what are you d-."

Hestia panicked and was about to stop this dumb busty goddess but was too late. Demeter's voice was loud and clear enough to be heated by everyone is de the bathing chamber.

"What? Are you serious?!"

"Hestia? That one who rejected all of her pursuers in heaven? That Hestia with loli face and BIG boobs???"

"You bet! One of the BIG 3 virgins in heaven! She has a man now, you serious??!!"

The chamber became very lively all of a sudden as the other Goddesses around hurriedly made their way towards Hestia. They wanted to inquire more information to her.

All of them aside from a certain goddess with silver hair. Her beauty, enough to topple that of everyone here. The goddess of Beauty and Love, Freya.

She just sat there at one of the pool's corner with her eyes closed. She looks like Sleeping Beauty, without care of her surroundings but.. both her hands are for some reason, are closed into a fist. Really tight like as if she's crushing something inside them.

Hestia answered her fellow goddesses inquiries at first as she didn't find any reason to decline but, it turned more and more ridiculous to the point that even she herself started to become embarrassed.

"Moah, stop asking already, I got to go now!" Hestia stood up and head towards the changing room. The other Goddess was still very reluctant to let her go but can do nothing to prevent Hestia from leaving they can only sigh in disappointment.

Orario is such a humongous city. It has eight main streets all extending out from its core - the Tower of Babel. These main streets equally divides the city in a triangular shape, like a huge pizza.

At southwest main.

Bell stands right in the middle of the park, leaning against a stone statue behind him. It is only 8:30 in the morning, a lot earlier than what time he and Hestia had agreed with. But Bell didn't have any other things to do for today so he has been here for more than half an hour now - standing straight here without moving.

His meeting with Eina had ended a lot earlier than what he had expected. He even tried eating breakfast before coming here but that didn't do the trick at all. Around him, Bell can see pairs after pairs of couples flirting with each other without caring with other people around them. He smiled, thinking that this scene is indeed very similar to what he had seen in the anime. It seems like Hestia still chose this place meet up with him in the end.

Did she choose this place because it's made for couples? Bell thought that's very likely the case.

What Bell didn't know though was that, it wasn't only the place that was similar, Hestia also did came to the Divine Bathhouse to clean herself, for him. Wonder what will his reaction be if Bell had also find it out...

As he stood there, some groups of females, age from 16 to 30 have approached Bell, trying to have a conversation with him. Perhaps attracted by his mature and cold, no, cool bearings. There's seriously something in him that catches these women's attention for some reason and also, Bell is already quite handsome despite his young age.

Bell politely declined them all.

"Eem... mister with white hair, mister with white hair!"

Bell had his eyes closed when he felt someone tugging his sleeve. Looking down, he saw that it was a young prum boy, around 4 to 5 years old perhaps? He's not sure because prums looked young and small throughout their whole lives but this one is definitely still very young and he is holding some Red Roses on his hands.

The young prum hesitated at first when he saw Bell scanning him. His ruby eyes had somehow, scared this little boy.

"Would you... would you like to buy some flowers, mister? These are all freshly picked."

Bell looked at the flowers at the Boy's hand and saw that they are indeed fresh. Turning towards his left side, a few meters away from where he's standing, there's another very young girl there with pointy ears also selling flowers with the other couples around. They are probably a group of kids that came here to sell their products.

"How much?" he asked flatly.

The Boy raised five of his fingers in response. "Five valis for each roses. Ten valis if you buy three."

"Five valis huh.. I see. How many pieces do you all have?"

"I.." in response, the boy began counting the flowers on his embrace." I still have 7 pieces, mister." he replied, a bit confused why this young master in front of him still have to asked. Does he not know how to count?

"Silly boy." Bell patted the boy's head a little. "I'm talking about you and your friends."

Bell gestured towards the other children selling flowers." You have too few flowers with you. Call them over here, I will buy all of your flowers so you can go back home."

"Really?!"

"Yep, really."

Seeing Bell nod, the prum boy immediately run towards his friends. Turned out there was ten of them here in total. Four girls, six boys in different races. Each of them carries an average of seven to fifteen roses and they are all now standing in front of Bell.

"Will you really buy all of our roses, mister?" asked one of the little girls. She's the one with pointy ears. Probably an Elf or half and Bell think she's very cute with her yellow hair.

"Correct. How many flowers you all have in total? " Bell asked again. He noticed that these kids, though still very young knows how to count and he wanted to see how much they can do.

One of the slightly older kid, a boy with a pair of dog ears stepped forward. "We have 93 pieces, mister. Are you sure you wanted to buy them all? It's quite expensive you know?"
