Pokemon Legends Arceus and Master Duel are going to be eating up my days. I can just see it now.

Beta'd by NiteNight.

{5 Minutes later}

We made it to the church, and Lili ended up deciding my back was more comfortable than the couches. I wasn't complaining, it was progress with my smol daughter(?) and I'll take it.

"Daaamn." Welf practically flopped onto the couch, after we put Bell on the other one, and he didn't look like he'd be getting up anytime soon. "That sucked. I might need a break." Trix, who was lying in her doggy bed, sent out an annoyed bark at Welf. Again, the hounds couldn't use words with their barks, just a general idea of what they wanted to say.

But hearing Trix pretty much go 'YOU?!' I was starting to rethink that.

Welf just laughed, and waved her off. "Ok, maybe you had it worse." Trix just growled at him before dropping her head onto her doggy bed.

I just looked at them, then angled my head up to look at Lili, who somehow fell asleep. I didn't notice when, but she did... (Ok... So what do I do with this?) Again, almost 3,000 year old man with no experience with a teenage 'daughter.' I was lost-er then the fucker shopping at soup. So I decided to just do the first thing I thought. I made another doggy bed, shifted, which made Lili tighten her hold around me, and snuggle closer into me, then laid down on the bed.

Welf just looked at me as all this happened, and I just gave him a raised brow. He blinked, shrugged, then went back into becoming one with the couch. Though now that we were home, I wanted the story. So I made an aura finger to poke him to get his attention, and then wrote a message with aura. 'So what happened?'

Welf just blinked at that. "I don't know that language." I blinked, looked up at my message, and internally groaned.

(Of course he doesn't. I wrote in japanese. Fuckin ugh.) I tried again, and Welf didn't get it again... (What the fuck was Remnants language called again? Ah fuck it, it doesn't matter.) I tried again, then Welf nodded. A part of my mind was VERY thankful Welf could fucking read. I imagined doing all that, and him just going 'I can't actually read.' I would've lost my goddamn mind.

"So... No matter what they say, just know it wasn't my fault." I raised a brow at that, and Trix glared at Welf. He meant it as a joke, but I could tell he didn't believe it.

He just met her look, and shrugged. "It wasn't! You heard those guys, Loki familia fucked up!" Trix still glared at Welf, and a part of me was amused that the man started making concessions to a Hellhound. "If I get you some Fire Bird meat, would that make you drop it?" Fun fact about Trix, she's easily bribed, so after Welf offered her food, she happily forgave him.

Other than that. It gave me all the context I'd need. (So we ARE at cannon. Neat.) I turned back to Welf, and poked him again to get his attention.

He looked at me, blinked, then went 'ahah.' Though he coughed into his hand when Trix gave him a look. "Anyway. It all started after a herd of Minotaur came out of nowhe...-" Trix huffed, and Welf looked away. "Ok. So it might've started when I challenged a Minotaur to a fight."

'Huh?'

Welf just shrugged. "Not my brightest moment. I know. But it seemed like a good idea at the time." I just nodded, and let him get into it. "So I win the fight, because I'm just that good." Trix rolled her eyes, an action I found amusing since her sass obviously didn't come from Bell. "BUT, that was when it let out its death cry. And unfortunately for us, there was a herd of Minotaur in the next room over because Loki familia decided to let them follow em as they came back up." Ah."So there we are, running away from the herd because we weren't in any position to fight them, when we run into a dead end." Oh? "Bell comes up with a plan. Well... yeah, a plan. The fight was going good, but then Lil'Lili ends up in danger after a Minotaur kicks Trix into a wall." Huh?

(This motherfucker just skipped stages 1-4, and just said 'let's get into the real juicy bits.' Like the fuck? Even I don't do that... I think.) That aside, I kept listening, since this WAS what I was interested in.

{Welf's POV at that moment}

(Crap! 'I can maybe hold two' my ASS! The hell was I thinking?) I had to take a knee to block an overhead strike from a Minotaur. And THAT wasn't an easy thing to do. Despite what I said, Minotaurs were still physically stronger than I was, and it showed. (Maybe I should've taken that scary woman's lessons. I can't dodge for shit!) I've been blocking too much, and I was pretty sure my blade was starting to crack. (Dammit. Get up!) I tried to force myself up, but it was difficult. The Minotaur that was trying to cut me in half was putting way too much pressure on me to really do that.

Though the OTHER Minotaur decided that this was a good time to make himself known. (Oh... Oh this is going to hurt.) I saw the fist coming at me, and I braced myself to take the hit.

And what a hit it was. If I wasn't gripping my sword as hard as I was, I knew I would've lost it. But thanks to that, and my aura, the worst of it was me skidding back a bit, and only having a moderately annoying ache in my arm. (If only that didn't leave my aura near broken.) I could take maybe another one of those full powered punches before my aura went down. (Would've broken something without my aura... Damn, I need to take Maccillian out for a drink for that. I really do.)

I shook that thought aside, and started getting up, but that's when I heard it.

Trix yelped, there was the sound of SOMETHING hitting a wall, and I turned to see it.

Trix was the something hitting the wall, and there was a Minotaur going after Lil'Lili. And it was at that moment that I knew I was too far away.

I couldn't help, and I couldn't even try to help because of the Minotaurs I was dealing with. I had to block again, and that made it worse. (I can't even look at her to help... This was my fault wasn't it?) It was.

If I didn't challenge that Minotaur, then we wouldn't have been in this situation.

I was about to spiral down that thought, but I was stopped when I heard Bell shout, and then saw a white flash of light. I pushed the weapon wielding Minotaur away, and dared a look.

And that's when I saw it.

Bell's aura was coating him, but there was something new.

Something I've seen before on Maccillian's 'scroll' thing.

A red hood and cape. The RUBY girls red hood and cape.

And then Bell turned into a flurry of red and white petals.

{Maccillian's POV present.}

'WAIT WAIT WAIT! HE WHAT?!' Welf paused when he read that, and then nodded.

"Yeah. He used the Ruby girls' semblance, and after he saved Lil'Lili, got us through the rest of the fight, he passed out. We left the dungeon after that, and now we're here." Well damn.

I looked at Bell, and nodded. (Welp, semblance acquired it seems.) We'd need Hestia to check if it shows up, but that'd come later.

"Hey Maccillian?" I blinked, then looked back at Welf. He looked conflicted about something, and looked like he needed a few seconds to get out what he was thinking. "Let's take the Loki familia out of the picture for a bit. Challenging that Minotaur, getting us caught up in that herd, the whole situation that led to the fight... Was this my fault?" Ah. There it was.

I thought about it, and hummed. 'Nah. I can't criticize you for challenging a Minotaur, it'd be hypocritical since I'd probably do the same damn thing. Though I'm still going to say it was stupid anyway because I'm a hypocrite.' Welf snorted, but I kept going. 'You had no idea there'd be a literal herd that close. So it's not your fault. It's Loki familia, and probably Bete's fault.' He mulled that over for a bit, then just sighed as he looked up.

"I don't know..." I sighed.

'Do you want me to blame you and tell Hestia and Shizuka you almost got Lili and Bell killed?' Welf went still, then started shaking like a leaf in the wind.

"NO! You can tell Lady Hestia, but please not Shizuka!" I laughed at that, and just nodded.

'So accept that it wasn't your fault.' Welf grumbled for a bit at that. He still looked unsure though. 'Do you want me to up the training?' He looked thoughtful at that, but nodded.

"Yeah... After today, I think I need to know how to dodge some more."

'Alright. I'll tell Saeko to try not to kill you.' Welf snorted, but smiled right after.

He looked better, I knew what happened, Lili and I were making progress(?), it was great.

And speaking of my daughter(?), I poked Lili's cheek with another aura finger, and she started to squirm. I knew she was up now, Welf shouting 'no' did it, but I still wanted to talk to her.

So I did it again.

And again.

Then she hugged me tighter, practically like a vice, and grumbled into my fur. "Lili wants sleep, papa. Stop poking Lili." I practically froze. And I felt Lili freeze right along with me. "... Oh no... Did Lili say that out loud?" Her face was buried into my fur, so I couldn't write out a yes for her to see. So I settled for a nod. Lili groaned, and I could feel the embarrassment radiating off of her. "Lili and everyone else owes mama Rika 50 Valis now..." Huh? Lili must've somehow heard my mental confusion, and clarified. "Mama Rika started a bet. 'She'll say it by accident' she said. And Lili said it by accident..." Oh.

For some reason, I was disappointed that it was on accident. Lili was probably the most adorable teenager outside of Ru... I blinked and came to a startling revelation about myself. (Jesus Jojo Christ... I'm a doting type? Holy shit... Welp, looks like I'm on the Sirzechs road for more than just danger levels.) That was fine though.

I felt Lili squirming again, and she just brought her head to rest between my ears. "Can we talk about this later?" I just nodded, and she dropped her head back into my fur. "Thank you... Papa." I was pretty sure my tail was imitating Ranga with how fast that fucker was wagging. But hey, who the fuck cared?

(Adorable daughter, GET!) I internally cackled at the thought, but made sure to keep it down. Lili wanted sleep, so she'd get it.

I curled up, laid my head on my bed, and closed my eyes. Things would come after.

{An hour later}

My ears picked up the sound of someone coming to the door, and I cracked an eye open. I couldn't figure out who it was since my smell didn't go through walls, and the windows were closed, but I just made sure I was ready to respond if I needed to.

Though I didn't. Opening the door, I saw Hestia prepare to announce her entry, and pause when she saw a passed out Welf on the couch, a knocked out Bell on the other, and Lili cuddling into me as I laid on a doggy bed.

She just blinked, and stared at the scene. Then after a few more seconds of that, she turned to me. She mouthed, 'Do I even want to know?' And I just shrugged. She took that as whatever, and walked in with a shrug of her own. I watched Hestia walk around, take in everyone's states, and nod... Before freezing and turning to me. 'Where are the blankets again?' I just raised a brow to that.

'It's spring... I think.' The 'so?' On her face was beyond obvious, so I just sighed. 'Shizuka's room, the first dresser.' She nodded, and made her way over. While she did, I just made sure Lili was as comfortable as could be, and waited for Hestia. It was strange to be honest. I knew cannon started, and here I was, just chilling in our living room, with Bell and his party passed out...

(Oh yeah!) When Hestia came back in, I made sure to get her attention by poking her forehead. She almost cursed, and waved her arms around at the aura finger. When she realized it was me, she shot a pouting glare at me, and I smirked before getting to the point. 'Bell got his semblance. Well, I think he did, unless it was a unique skill.' Hestia blinked, narrowed her eyes at me, but nodded as she went to put the blankets on Bell and Welf.

With them covered, she came over to me and Lili, draped a blanket on us, then plopped down next to me, and laid her head on my flank. "So... What happened?"

'Loki familia ended up dragging some Minotaurs up. They fought them, won, but it took a lot out of 'em.' Hestia nodded, looked at Lili, Bell and Welf, then nodded.

"So, where do we go from here? I'm all for calling Loki stupid and everything, but what do we do?"

'Easy. Sic Shizuka on 'em.' She snorted, and almost started laughing.

Hestia needed a minute to get it together, but when she did, she relaxed, and laid into me with a smile on her face. "Hey, can you record that on your scroll thingy?" I nodded, and she happily hummed. "Cool."

'So, that aside. Aren't you home a little early?'

Hestia went 'ah' and nodded. "Oh yeah, I am. Sooo, my boss 'fired' me." I blinked, and just looked at her. 'What did you do?' Written all over my face. Hestia huffed, and grabbed my tail because of that. "Hush you and let me finish!" I smirked some more, but didn't 'say' anything. "So anyway, it was a slow day, some people coming in here and there, usual stuff like that. Then my boss calls me to come to the back in a bit." I ignored the Pornhub sound that went off in my head, and kept listening. "So I just say 'sure' and after I dealt with my last customer, I go over to the back. When I'm in, my boss locks the door...-" I heard the Pornhub sound again, but it was louder this time. "-And we talk. He started out with 'Lady Hestia, it's been a pleasure to have you here' and that was all I needed to know what was going on." Hestia stopped there, and her face scrunched up. Though she started petting my tail to help herself feel better.

"It was weird. I've worked there almost my whole time here. After Hephaestus kicked me out, that small potato shop was kind of like my second home... And now I don't work there anymore. 'You've got a good thing going for you Lady Hestia. If you stayed here, we'd only hold you back.' I didn't see it that way, but my boss didn't really let me argue... So now I'm jobless, but richer than the last time I was, and have a familia of my own... It's all just so weird... Maccillian?" I focused in on her, and she met my gaze. "Is progress meant to be like this?" I thought about that.

Ever since I told Hestia about us being immortal, me with the full package, she opened up about things she was worried about. Sure she could go with something like that to Athena, but she wasn't as 'mortal' as I was. She could also ask the girls, but they didn't have as much experience as 'I' did. Ya know, considering I was 2,821 years old and all that. It helped bring us even closer. But back to her question. 'Yes, it is. Time can be fuckey like that. One moment you're looking at people struggling to figure out that taking baths more then once a week is a good thing, then the next time you see 'em making boats to go 'conquer' the new world.'

Hestia just gave me a raised brow for that. "Do I even want to know?" I blinked, then shrugged. "Uh huh... Anyway, back to my crisis." I snorted, and let her think. "I guess I'm still getting used to it. Ever since I descended, it was all so slow. Wake up, do the things, then just go home and sleep. After I started working, that made the days fuller, more fun to go through. Now I've got you and the rest of my familia, and things are just GOING." I let her talk. "Then there's the whole realm walker business to go through, and that's just it's own closet of stuff." Hestia knew we would go to other worlds, we obviously told her. And she didn't mind it. She was actually ecstatic at the chance to join us as we explored. She never cared about the dungeon, she just wanted children of her own. And now that she had us, she never wanted us to leave.

I watched Hestia think, and then smile. "But... I can't say I hate it." I grinned at that, and made my tail tickle her nose. It caught her by surprise, but she started laughing and smiling even brighter. It was nice to see and hear. I kept it up for a bit, and only stopped when Hestia practically glued herself to my side. She had a smile on her face, and that was all that mattered.

'Going back to sleep. Joining or going out?' Hestia looked at the message, and I saw her internally debate on it. After maybe a minute, she snuggled into my side, and made her choice. 'Ok. Goodnight.'

"The sun hasn't even set." I didn't care. I closed my eyes again, and drifted off to sleep. I'd wake up if something happened.

{Shizuka's POV, 15 minutes later}

(This is a good morning.) The orphans, bless their cute and tiny hearts, were little angels. I might've had to pry one off my tail at one point, but it was a very nice morning. Saeko seemed better, more complete, and that in itself would've made me happy. Even Mari liked them, which was why she stayed with them. Children were a soft spot for me, and I didn't mind it.

So were the rest of the girls now that I was on that topic.

And Silver.

And Hestia.

And especially our Lili.

Bell was cute too, but I couldn't hug him as much as I did Ruby... (He'd probably die from embarrassment.) But that was fine. I could hug Hestia and Lili just as much.

Speaking of them. I just got home, and the sight that greeted me when I opened the door was just. So. ADORABLE! Hestia and Lili were sleeping on Silver! Lili was on his back, covered in a blanket, while Hestia was curled into his side, with an aura blanket of her own. It was just the cutest thing I'd seen. I'd have to take a picture of Bell and Welf too, but they came after! Picture... (SCROLL! WHERE IS IT!?) I pat myself down, and found it after a bit of doing that. I opened it, and the camera, and took pictures.

(All the pictures!) When I was done with the ones of Silver, Lili and Hestia, I moved onto Bell and Welf. The former was curled into his blanket like a child, while the latter slept like a drunk old man. It was great.

Then floating words made of aura appeared in front of my face, and I paused. It was made out of Silver's aura, so I didn't punch it. 'Just how many pictures did you take?' That was a good question.

I checked my scroll, and saw I had at least 10 new pictures of Silver, Lili and Hestia alone. "A few... I need videos too! Silver, don't move!" I heard him snort, but when I turned, I saw he didn't move. "Perfect!" And so I started recording.

At one point, Lili looked like she was going to fall off, but Silver just made an aura hand, and gently moved her back into place. It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen.

Other than this that is... (They're both cute... But what's cuter?) This was a very serious topic. (Must consult the council.) I nodded at that, and decided to gather the girls later. Cuteness overload came first.

One 5 minute video later, and I was content. "Done!" I put my scroll away, and thought about what to do now.

Though I didn't need to think for long, since Bell started to wake up. "Mhm... Wh... LILI!" And with him, the rest of the house.

"WHADAWHOOAAA!?" Welf, who sat up, and then fell off the couch.

"AHH!" Lili, who shot up and almost fell off of Silver.

"WHSHH?!" Hestia, who just jolted up and started looking around.

Houndoom and Trix just gave off VERY annoyed grunts, and just glared around the room.

Silver started laughing, and I joined him. Then I stopped when I realized something... "Nooo! I didn't record that!" Silver laughed even harder at that.

They scrambled about for a bit, Hestia and Lili were pouting because they were woken up, Bell worried over Lili for a bit, and Welf was grumbling because he fell off the couch. It was nice.

After a bit, we all gathered on the couches, Silver shifted and sat by Lili's side, and I listened to how their recent dive went. Then I heard Welf say something that made me freeze. "Damn. By the way, who's going to complain about Loki familia dragging Minotaurs with them?" I heard about the incident, and was waiting to hear more. And now I did.

(It was their fault?) I felt something twitch inside of me, and I needed to deal with it. "Welf." He froze, and slowly turned to me. The look of horror in his eyes was cute, but not now.

"Y-Y-Yes Ms. Shizuka?!"

"Who?" His eyes darted around, and then settled on Silver. My love was just watching Welf panic, with a grin on his face, and raised a brow when he saw Welf look at him.

He blinked, then nodded at some unspoken question. Looking at me, Silver hummed, then gave me the name of a soon to be dead man. "Bete did it."

"Oh... Looks like he's going to need a casket." That was all I said when I got up. I was pretty sure I heard Welf, Hestia and Bell gulp, but that didn't matter right now.

I walked out of the door, but as I did, I heard my love's voice. "Tch... I need boss music." That made a part of my mind giggle, but I'd address it later.

For now, Bete was in trouble.

{Maccillian's POV}

With Shizuka gone, Welf breathed the biggest sigh of relief I'd ever seen. "Thank every god and goddess in Orario. I've been spared." Hestia and I snorted, and I waved it off.

"You were fineee. At worst she would've punched you through the wall." Welf choked, and I laughed... And Lili joined me. My eyes widened, and she met my look. The mirth and humor in her eyes did it for me. "I'm going to so teach you how to fuck with people." Lili smiled at me, then scooted in closer to me. After the whole 'papa' thing, and sleeping on me, it looked like she didn't mind getting close to me.

"Lili will be sure to take those lessons to heart." Her ears and tail were out, so I ruffled them, and grinned as I did. Lili started flailing, trying to swat my arms away, but I was too stronk for her puny arms. "Papa nooo! Mess with Lady Hestia, Bell or Welf! Not Lili!" I cackled in glee and kept on going. She gave me an inch, and I was taking it to the fucking moon.

I heard Hestia laugh, and decided that she shouldn't be spared. Though she was on the other end of the couch, so I had to make an aura hand to ruffle her hair. "ARGH! WHY?!" I just kept on cackling.

A few minutes of that, and the room was in order again. Hestia was on one side of me, Lili the other, and the guys were on their own couch. I looked at Bell, and I remembered the big thing. "Bell." He blinked, and looked at me. I didn't use his nickname, so he knew this was 'serious.' "One, you did good." He visibly relaxed at that. "Two. Heard you found your semblance huh?" He blinked again, confused, before we saw him understand.

Then we saw him get embarrassed. "Oh yeah! Didn't you go all Little Red Riding Hood?" It was the right description. "Can you do it now?" Bell's face scrunched up, and we watched him close his eyes.

After... A minute, I checked my scroll, he opened them again, and we saw the hood and cape... And I took a picture of it. Everyone turned to me, and I just grinned when Bell started going red. "S-SIR!" I laughed, and took some more just because I could. Bell just dropped his head in his hands, and groaned. "Ughhh!" Welf clasped him on the back and laughed, while Hestia and Lili snickered at his embarrassment.

"Alright. Future blackmail collected, let's move on." Hestia whined, and I just looked at the disappointed goddess. "We can just get more blackmail later." Hestia hummed, then nodded. Turning back to Bell, he just looked so done with us, it was great. He even... "Actually. How long can you keep Reddy's hood for anyway?" Because yes, he still had her hood.

Bell looked at it, and he started thinking. "I... Think until I run out? I can tell it's using my aura to stay here... But it's not a lot." Huh.

"How about her semblance?"

Bell blinked, turned into a bunch of petals, and started zooming around the room. We all watched, Hestia was amazed and even plucked a petal out of the air, as Bell did the twister move Ruby did in training.

After a few seconds of doing that though, he stopped, and reformed back on the couch. Though he looked a little out of breath, and I was pretty sure his aura was flashing as Ruby's hood disappeared. (He only used it for a few seconds though? Is it that much of a guzzler, or was he just too low? Actually, I can just ask.) "Lil' rabbit." Bell looked up at me, still tired, but ready. "Is it that expensive, or were you too low?"

Bell sunk back into the couch, and groaned again. "I think it's both." Huh.

"Welp, you'll probably get better at it eventually... What is it by the way?" Now Bell just looked embarrassed, and we all zoned in on that.

"Come on Bell, what's the worst it could be?" Welf was a good lad.

Though Bell just put his hands back on his face, and started muttering. And if it weren't for my base Werewolf hearing, I would've missed it. "I can 'borrow' the powers of any 'hero' I look up too." I had to blink, and REALLY try not to laugh. But I failed, and started laughing my ass off.

It was hilarious. The 14 year old rabbit looked up to the 15 year old little reaper. It was GREAT!

And Bell shrunk into himself even more.

The rest of the room looked at me, because they didn't hear what he said, and I had to take time between laughs to explain. When I did, Welf grinned at Bell, Lili snickered, and Hestia added fuel to the fire. "They'd be kind of cute together. I mean, Bell is albino, and the Ruby girl is all about black and red colors... Maccillian? Why are you looking at me like that?"

I was giving Hestia a look of 'What the fuck?' Mixed with 'I mean...' Because on the one hand, I knew she was right. But on the other, I was practically the little reapers new uncle, so I had no idea what the fuck I was supposed to say to that. (Ruby is my niece(?) Bell's... The fuck is Bell to me? A nephew?! Am I just collecting family members as I go? The fuck? Screw it, think of that later... Bell and Ruby... Fucking hell... I can't deny it... Do I tell Yin about this?) It hadn't been a month yet, so Yin wouldn't be inviting me to the party soon.

I shook my head, and decided to change topics. "Anyway, guess we're celebrating later... Oh yeah, Hestia." She hummed at me. "Gonna update the kids today, or tomorrow?" She thought about it, then shrugged.

Hestia got up, then turned to the kids. "Bell, Lili, room." They both got it, and followed Hestia over to the 'room of secrets' as Shizuka called it. It was a room with a portable divider, solely there for leveling up.

Which just left me and Welf in the living room. He looked relaxed, but I could tell he wasn't. "You do know it's not your fault, and that they don't really blame you. Right?" Welf flinched, and looked away. "Lili might give you shit... She probably will actually, but she'll forgive you." He flinched again. "Bell doesn't even hold it against you." He flinched again, then just sank into the couch.

"I know... I know... But man... It still feels like everything that went wrong was my fault, ya know?" I did.

I looked at Welf, and thought on what to say. Guilt was a bitch, especially unnecessary guilt. There were a few ways to deal with that, but I picked the easy ones. "Welf." He slowly turned to me and met my gaze. "Stop being a bitch." He practically fell off the couch at that. I ignored the snort from Trix, and kept my gaze on him. "The only one who blames you is you. Instead of wallowing in your guilt, do better. You made a mistake, so learn from it, and never make it again. And if it takes me having you fight monsters under double gravity to drill that into your skull, then I will." Welf just stared at me after that. His face was just the perfect mix of 'confused' mixed with 'acceptance.'

I could've done that better, nicer and all that, but I didn't feel like it. (Besides, he wasn't exactly looking for some nice sugar coated words either.) Which I knew he wasn't.

Welf just kept looking at me, and was about to say something, but ended up getting cut off. "LEVEL 2?!" We blinked at each other, and turned to the direction of Hestia's shout.

(Huh... Two weeks and some change early? Well, it had to happen at some point.) I got up, and went over to the room. Welf stayed on the couch, since it would be an invasion of privacy, and an unsaid rule, if he went to see the stats of someone in another familia.

The room wasn't that far, the church's renovations were basically more space, a bunch of rooms, and an attic. Which was where the room was, because why wouldn't it be?

I walked up to it, saw the door was open, and walked right in.

Seeing Hestia in her chair, looking back and forth between Bell and the sheet in her hand was hilarious. Bell and Lili were just staring at the sheet, and no one really noticed me coming in.

So I took advantage of that. Silent walking and all that.

When I got close, I dropped my head on Hestia's, chuckling at the way she almost jumped, and looked at the sheet. Bell had been shooting up in stats from our training, so I already knew he was close. It was interesting how fast his stats grew because of his skill. But the most interesting thing was his semblance.

Unique Skill/Semblance - ἥρως - A hero rises to the challenge, but no hero is ever truly alone. Call upon the powers of those the caster identifies or looks up too as a 'hero.'

"Huh... Makes sense." After I said that, Hestia finally panicked enough, and fell out of the chair. I caught her, so now she was dealing with a double dose of embarrassment.

Material for later.

I looked at Bell, and had a thought. "Bell." All eyes on me, this was a big question. "Can you use my powers?" And it was met with silence.

[Omake - Best Mama Shizuka is terrifying. Bete's POV after Shizuka left.]

"I'm telling ya, if some fucks get hurt, then they were just too weak to be there in the first place!" I didn't know why she was making such a fuss about this. It was just a couple of Minotaur. Who gave a shit if they raised a little hell?

Apparently the purple, not the swordswoman that challenged Ais the moment we came back, haired mate of my lookalike. She was just rubbing her temples and looking at me like I was retarded. "And I'M telling YOU that you fucked up. How hard is it to get that through your thick skull Knockoff?" I growled at her name for me, but that was it.

"And just WHAT did I fuck up with huh?!" I just HAD to ask.

Purple was about to say something, but we both paused. I felt something coming my way that made my instincts want to bolt.

Then she spoke. "Bell and his party were in the dungeon. And if the pissed off energy I'm reading is anything to go by, your stunt did something to the walking body pillow." Oh no.

We all heard about the blonde and my lookalike adopting some Pallum girl, and we all knew how intimidating the woman could be. I was on the other end of her annoyance once. But her anger? "Oh fuck."

"Yup. I'm not paying for your funeral... Anyway, gotta go!" And then she left the room in a blur.

I wanted to do the same, but I heard a whisper on the winds.

It was so quiet that only Werewolves would pick up on it.

A chilling voice that'd haunt my dreams for the years to come.

"~Oh Beteee. Come out to plaaay.~" I knew I was fucked.
