Chapter 118

Funny enough it seems Inari probably had some divine elixir stored close at hand or something if she didnt turn into a massive pillar of light. Which isn't as uncommon as you may think with all the medicine and magic gods running around Orario but the elixirs were highly volatile with how fragile they were to the point that simply shaking them too much would ruin the elixir's.

So only deities would really keep them around to safeguard their mortal forms with Freya telling me she had a few stashed within her babel tower and Folkvanger, her old Familia mansion.

But I was a cheating cheat with a space ring which temporally froze anything put inside so I didnt have to worry about that with my elixirs though I honesty mostly drank mind potions due to my overpowered armor protecting me from most harm that slips past my guard.

Either way I still have reservations in killing deities here in Danmachi like for me to deal with the possibility of Inari cursing me to oblivion from Tenkai as even with Freya and Hestia behind me protecting me, that still won't save me from a deity flipping the table and smiting me here on Genkai and then purging my soul from in Tenkai if my bonfire couldn't ensnare my soul to cleanse it of Karma and resurrect me.

"I gave her a very firm lesson, and should she leave her burrow we can just challenge her to a War Game and legally break her in half and send her back to Tenkai." I muttered before a simple thought came to mind

'Actually why didnt I do a War Game to begin with...' I thought wryly as even if I did what I did in retaliation for their members harassing my own members in the dungeon this act will still sour my possible reputation with the deities I haven't come into contact with as they will assume should they anger me enough that I will come flip over their Familia's.

As I landed from my short flight back in the courtyard of the Hestia church, I quickly wreathed myself with some black flames to for a couple seconds to burn off any blood or bits of flesh that may have stuck to me unknowingly.

"Bah... Fuck it. what happened, happened." I grumbled and walking through the front door of the church.

"Oh hey Jake, I heard you were visiting Lady Inari and Demeter." Bell waved at me from his... interesting position.

He was getting a lap pillow from Eina Tulle his visibly pregnant half elf wife? I am not sure if they actually tied the knot already while I was gone.

"Bell its good to see you again." I said simply and then looked back to Eina who blushed at how Bell didnt see anything wrong with how affectionate they were being in front of someone she had only met a couple times.

"Eina I formally welcome you to the Hestia Familia even if you have joined the Loki Familia to keep up with Bell, you will have place under this roof." I assured the half elf as I knew she was certainly going to be a bit nervous as to put simply custody battles born of children being born of members belonging of different Familia's are never pretty.

In essence I basically said she was welcome within our Familia even if she was a member of Loki's.

"Now as for my meetings with Inari... Thats complicated and I need to discuss with Hestia and Freya before we let the news spread out more. Oh, and I haven't met Demeter yet and probably wont for a couple days as I want us to get to level five before we relax and mess around."

Bell nodded confirming my guess that albeit he was around the 1300's in terms of stats for the level he still needed my skill to pad out the rest of his stats to get a perfect level as we had been doing.

"Oh umm." Bell hesitated and squeezed Eina's hand as he stared at her lovingly before looking back to me as he stood up to speak seriously and I couldn't help but straighten up as well despite my mental exhaustion. "Jake, I want to ask you to be my best man at Eina and my wedding. We have put it off till you got back but I want to make her an honest woman with how she is pregnant." Bell said seriously and I could shake my head and then with a step forward I brought Bell into a hug.

I could feel Bell grab me with his arms as I patted the shorter young man on the head and I pulled back after a couple seconds of contact. "Bell you are my little brother and I will kill for you... I would be honored to be your best man." I clapped him on the shoulder. "I will be making the wedding rings though." I grinned making Bell beam and even Eina could smile happily with little tears in her eyes as she knew my enchanted items could only be matched by magic gods skirting the lines of using there arcanum's, which showed how I was truly happy for Bell and supported their relationship.

So, the rings would be a great help to them for sure.

"Thank you very much!" Eina whispered holding back sniffles as Bell quickly went over to hug his emotional pregnant fiancée.

"How about the wedding take place in... Oh, let's say a week and we can host it here in the Hestia church atrium." I said thinking of the large atrium where people would typically pray in which could easily be redecorated.

Oh boy that was the wrong words as Eina's OCD triggered and she started going off on all the things she would need to setup with catering, decorating, a elvish priest, a choir.

I could only smile wryly as Bell tried to assure his woman but ended up being shook repeatedly by his shoulders. "Eina delegate the tasks as I am sure Riveria, and your old friends from the guild would love to help and be bridesmaids, plus Hestia and Freya will certainly help." I gently explained making her calm down and then her eyes lit up knowing she wasn't going to be alone in doing this.

"Yes... Although Loki is worthless and will only sit at the side and drink all the booze a bunch of the girls back at the twilight manor will help and so will Misha and Rose from the guild." Eina said relaxing into Bells arms who sent me a look of desperate thankfulness.

I nodded at the outcome coming together well then after telling them congrats and taking a few drops of their blood to link whatever rings I made for the duo together I bid goodbye to go talk to Hestia and Freya.
