Turning points

Bell went inside the tavern. There were so many people eating and drinking . Bell sat down on an empty chair and waited. That place was noisy. He couldn't find any familiar faces out their. He had made only a few friends since he came to orario 2 months ago. Eina Tulle of the guild was his first friend in orario.

A waitress come to him. She has a silver hair. Her name was Syr Flover

Syr " Are you an adventurer ?"

A surprised Bell " Yes"

She looked so amazed at the boy. She was just lost in thoughts.

Bell asked her looking confused" Hello miss , are you here "

Syr snapped out of her thoughts

Syr " Sorry , I was just lost in thoughts. Really sorry to keep you waiting "

Bell with a smile " It's Okay"

His smile was cute. She was really surprised to see a smile like that. She even returned the smile with a blushed face. He then ordered his meal.

She herself served the meal. She then decided to press on to the boy for more details about himself. Bell replied everything he could answer while having his meal.

Bell finished his meal. He then paid for the meal. The meal was really good. He really appreciated the meal he got.

Syr blushed face " Will you visit us again?"

Bell with a smile " Sure"

When he was about to leave, Syr " W Would you like to take me as your f friend from now on ?"

Bell was shocked to hear that. He then thought for a little and agreed to her. This makes her so happy. She then thanked him for taking her as her friend.

Then suddenly the angry words of the owner (Mia ) send a shiver through her spine and was forced to run inside the tavern after waving a hand to him.

That day bell decided to take her out for a dinner. He took her to the Hostess of Fertility. She was really happy to go out with her child once in a while. They were enjoying their meal.

Goddess Hestia is little bit suspicious about Syr. She detected a godly aura from her. She could tell that she is a human. She appeared to be avoiding her. She decided to slip that topic for now and enjoy the meal with her child.

The Loki Familia with Loki and her top executives entered the pup. They started celebrating their victory in their lower floors. Bell and Hestia were really surprised to saw them celebrating their victory.

Bete saw bell and his goddess eating meal. Bete was totally drunk. With a smirk Bete started humiliated bell for being weak. Loki even teased Hestia for having a weak and pathetic Many of the Loki Familia members laughed at bell. Riveria and Aiz try to stop him from doing that.

Bell and Hestia felt really humiliated. They couldn't even rise their voice against the strongest Familia. Everyone was laughing at them. Both of them felt really bad. They couldn't even finish their their meal. They quickly payed the bill and get out off there with saying a single word.

It was this moment Finn understood that they went little too far.

Syr felt very bad for both of them. She was stuck. She didn't know what to do? . All she could do was just stand there and watch them leave without a word.

Bell " I am really sorry Goddess, I shouldn't have take you there. It's all my fault"

Hestia " What are apologizing for? You haven't done anything wrong?"

Bell with tears flowing down his eyes " I am sorry for being so weak "

Hestia with a smile " It's okay bell. Every strong man start from a being a weak and pathetic mess. Both appreciation and humiliation are part of life. All you must do is to accept your limitations and move forward. "

Bell "..."

Hestia " Now bell I don't want you be a cry baby. Just shake it up off your mind. Let's drop this topic for now and go home"

Then both of them went home without much talk. Bell wanted to become stronger so badly now. It's not just for him but for his goddess. He wanted to protect her and everyone dear to him. He didn't want them to face any more tragic death. He didn't want to be weak anymore. Its like his soul is burning to get stronger

Next morning Before going to the dungeon bell decided to have a update on his status.

Hestia with a simile " I think you hit the jackpot yesterday"

Bell with a confused look" huh"

Hestia " You have a skill"

Bell " W What"

Hestia "Liaris Freese , Fast growth, freezing your emotions, grow stronger with your emotions"

Bell "But Goddess how did i get this skill, I didn't do much in the dungeon recently"

Hestia " It was yesterday's incident, bell"

Bell was staring at his status sheet.

Hestia " Bell you have to promise me that you will never tell anyone about your skill even if it is a god"

Bell " Why ?"

Hestia " Bell its a rear skill you have now. Everyone will be after you to get a similar skill like that. Both good and evil will be after us making it difficult to move forward. And more importantly ..."

Bell " More importantly? .."

Hestia " More importantly I- I don't want to leave your side "

There was a moment of silence between the two.

Bell with a smile " I understood , As you wish my Goddess "
