The Trickster's plan

Bell went to Twilight Manor for training as usual. As soon as he enter the compound he was dragged by Lefiya to the courtyard.

Bell " What's the big deal? Why did you drag me here. "

Lefiya pointed her staff at him. A magic circle already formed on it's tip.

Lefiya with an embarrassed face " You bastard what did you do to me yesterday? "

Bell " I didn't do anything. You felt asleep and I carried you home that's all. "

Lefiya "You carried me in your back in front of everyone. Now every one is making funny comments on me"

Bell " What type of comments ? "

An embarrassed Lefiya " Y- You and I ..."

Bell " Pardon "

Lefiya red all-over " Aah... Stop embarrassing me you bastard "

Now Bell Almost get the situation they are in. His face also turn red. He sensed some creepy eyes spying on both of them.

A moment of silence.

Lefiya " So you are a half vampire."

Bell "Yes that's true."

Lefiya with a smug " You better not show your creepy teeth to anyone and you know what's going to follow that. "

Bell "I get it. I will be careful."

Aiz spotted Bell and Lefiya speaking and came to them.

Aiz " Am I interrupting? "

Bell and Lefiya " No, you are not ."

Aiz " Let me apologize for spying on you, Bell. "

Bell "It's okay, I don't mind it at all. I already have an idea about what you guys were up to all this time. "

Aiz sweat dropped " I see..."

Lefiya " By the way, I heard that your friends are going to be trouble, with the wargame and stuff. "

Bell "Yes, you are right. I wish I could help them. But it turns out that I am not allowed to. "

Aiz " I think the chances are very slim for your people. I personally know how strong is their captain."

Lefiya "I was wondering why they want a level 1 girl from a much lower Familia. What makes her so special."

Bell "I don't know, maybe because they just wanted to eliminate smaller familiar's one by one and become strong in the future. "

Letiya " If that's the case, then the first one to be stroked down would be your Familia."

Aiz with a smile" Personally I don't think so, I mean they will think twice to fight a Familia who just won a wargame with one single person."

Bell letting out a sign.

Bell " It all depends on the type of wargame they choose. Anyway I am here to tell you another important thing."

Aiz "And what is that "

Bell " Just that I won't be attending the training for next three weeks. I mean it's time to earn my part for the Familia, so will be going for adventuring for these days."

Aiz " I see, you are the only member who can fight in your family. But even with your help how are you managing the fund. "

Bell " My home is now a hotel for all the Nobleman you visit the city. And besides that we run a potato snack shop."

Aiz "A Potato snack shop !!. But you never told me anything about it before."

Bell smirking. " I know were this is going. No discounts for you."

Aiz pouting " That's so rude."

Bell after staring at Aiz for a moment "OK fine. But only once in a week. "

Aiz smile brightly "Thank you very much."

Lefiya " Don't you dare think of buying her with your damn potatoes. "

Bell sweat dropped .

Bell was granted the leave he was asking for. Bell on his way back to his home, he met Bete.

Bell with a smirk in his face. "Perfect timing."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The type of wargame they choose was one on one fight in an open arena. Three battles. Whoever scores 2 wins first , will be declared as the winner.

The fight will be starting after a week. To avoid the hot sun, the match was fixed in the night.

Match schedule.

First match:- Ouka vs Tammuz Belili

Second Match:- Mikoto vs Samira

Third Match :- Phryne vs Ouka, Mikoto and Chigusa

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The night has arrived.

Ouka walked over to the stage. He was quite sure that he don't stand a chance but still he want to do his best for his friends.

Many people including Gods and Goddesses were present to watch the battle. All of them already knew who is the winner.

But something unexpected happened. Tammuz didn't show up on the stage on time. This creates confusion in the Ishtar Familia stand. They started searching for him all over the stadium.

Suddenly a news arrived in Ishtar's ears. Tammuz was attacked by a masked adventurer and is severely injured just before the start of the match in the Dedalus street.

The countdown starts and crowd were in a complete confusion. Ishtar looked at Takemikazuchi and Hestia. Both of them seem to be confused as well.

The countdown is over and Ouka is declared as the winner.

The crowd was dismissed. The audience were so disappointed.

More than the loss there was something that Ishtar worried the most. Tammuz was asked to collect a special item from Hermes Familia.

The item (killing stone) is now lost. Tammuz is still unconscious. She had a very hard time recognizing the real enemy. She thought that Freya was behind all this.

.......

Meanwhile in Hestia Familia home. They were discussing about their Savior. Takemikazuchi and Miach had no idea about him. Miach enquired about Bell.

Hestia had a small smile on her face.

Miach " Why are you..... Wait a minute... Don't tell me"

Hestia " You guys underestimated him didn't you? "

All of them except Hestia and her children were shocked. They all followed Hestia to his room. He was laying on his bed with bandages all over. An Elf girl was healing his wounds.

Mikoto " You are from the pub, right?"

Ryu " Mmm. "

Ryu finished healing. Ryu and Hestia helped Bell to sit up on bed.

Bell " He was tough, luckily I managed to pull it off in the end. If it wasn't for Ryu sensei I would have been caught for a street fight ."

Ryu " Just doing my duty. But I am little surprised to know that you are not just a swordsman. I was wondering who taught you those moves. "

Bell " A secret. "

Ryu " Don't worry I will find it myself."

Ouka boing down his head" Thank you very much Bell Cranel. I will make sure that I will repay you one day. "

Bell " Don't mention it Ouka san , I was just repaying you guys for teaching me a lot."

Susan " We still have 2 more matches. So what's our next move, Bell san."

Bell " The next one is between Mikoto and Samira. In my current state I can't do much. I am sorry Mikoto that you have to fight it out tomorrow. "

Mikoto " Don't worry Bell dono, I will do everything I can with my strength."

..................

Bell told Hestia that he is going to meet a friend so early in the morning.

The night has arrived.

The Match between Mikoto and Samira have started. Samira was a tough opponent for Mikoto. But Mikoto didn't choose to gave up. At some point the battle between the two become even more fired up. The began to cheer for both of them.

Meanwhile, Tammuz regained consciousness and informed his Goddess that his opponent was Bell Cranel. Ishtar decided to snap Hestia Familia home and Bell Cranel.

So they decided to storm Hestia Familia Home while the public was concentrated in the wargame. A group of 20 amazons led by Aizha reached inside health mansion. They were expected to find Bell there.

When they entered the health mansion, they couldn't find anyone and also the room was dark without magic lamps.

Aisha " The room is dark. The magic lambs are seem to be taken away. Search every corner and do not let them escape."

They began to search everywhere. Aisha looking for them in the first floor and others in the second floor. They found that even the noble residents of the health mansion were also not there. They all seemed confused.

But in the corner of the pass way in the second floor there appeared a jocker masked elf girl with plot armors.

Ishtar Familia members " Who are you? From where did you pop up?"

Ryu " A jocker who seeks justice by defeating injustice" Ryu pulling out her wooden sword and walking towards her enemies.

Aisha heard noise of battle from the second floor. So she decided to go to them. But when she was about to climb the stairs a voice called out her from behind.

Jocker " Seems like Aisha Belka is looking for a fight."

But Aisha didn't saw anyone behind her. She become confused.

Jocker " Over here my Lady."

Aisha looked up. Bell was standing upside down in the ceiling. This scene really shocked her.

Aisha " What the.. Who are you? "

Bell suddenly released himself from the ceiling and fall to the ground. He stood Infront of her.

Bell " Pardon me my lady, My name Jocker. If I guess I am right, then you must be Aisha Belka."

Aisha " Yes that's me. " Then suddenly Aisha remember Tammuz saying that Bell was hiding behind a mask. "

Aisha with a smile " Oo Now I get it, That's a pretty mask you got there Bell Cranel. "

Bell signed " Seems like I got reveled." But he didn't took off the mask.

Aisha pointed her sword towards him " Looks like the target came to me instead of me going to it."

Bell pulled out both of his swords and pointed towards Aisha.

Bell " So you decided to move forward. Fine then I don't think that I have any other choice."

The two of them started fighting .

................................................

Mikoto was defeated by Samira in the end. The war game seem to come to a draw. Mikoto was taken to Amid for treatment.

Hestia noticed all of the Noble resident's who also did come to see the fight. Hestia and Takemikazuchi decided to talk about the failure and the upcoming fight. But it was raining heavily so they decided to wait until it is over.

After 1 hour they all reached Hestia Familia home. They found that the hall was a mess. They realized that a battle has occurred in the hall way as well as the pass way. Hestia asked the Nobel residents who had accompanied them to go back to their rooms and check weather everything that belong to them are safe and sound.

When Hestia and other reached Bell 's room, they saw an amazon girl been tied up completely in a chair and she is unconscious. Bell was laying in the bed with some bandages. Ryu was leaning on to the wall near the window.

Hestia " So was your prediction correct?, Bell kun"

Bell " Yes, my Goddess. We got attacked by Ishtar Familia. They were here to storm us. But my sensei did taught them a good lesson that I am sure that they won't forget. And about her, I defeated her in a one on one battle. "

Ryu just nodded while leaning on to the wall.

Ouka " Bell, isn't she Aisha Belka of Ishtar Familia. So you defeated a level 4 all by yourself ."

Bell " She was tougher than the other one. She almost got me at some point. Thanks to the training with martial art I knocked her her."

Hestia " That idiot, what were she ( Ishtar) even thinking?"

Takemikazuchi " I will make sure she will pay for all this mess ones this is all over."

Bell " How did Mikoto do today, couldn't come to see her fight. "

Ouka " She fought really hard. But couldn't pull it off in the end. She is been healed in Amid's place. Haruhime and others are staying with her. "

Bell " I see, now we have no choice but to win the next one, right everyone."

Everyone " Yes"

Hestia " So What's our next move? Bell kun."

..........................................

Haruhime and others were coming back to the health mansion. On their way they were attacked by Phryne and her group. Phyrne took Haruhime and Chigusa as hostage.

It didn't took so long for them to know the truth. All of them were worried except Bell. Others were surprised.

Hestia "How are you so charm about it?"

Susan " All others are worried about Haruhime and look at you. Just chilling and drinking your soup. "

Takemikazuchi "Bell , do you have anything on your mind ?"

Bell " Aahh I am tied, I am going to bed. Hm, one more thing Miss Susan, please make sure Aisha san is doing well. "

Hestia "That doesn't answer my question"

A moment of silence.

Bell with a small smile " Prepare yourself my combrates, we are storming them tommorow "

With that said Bell went back to his room.

Everyone " WHAT?"
