Showdown

In the morning of the last tournament day.

Hestia updated Bell's Status. All  his ranks were S.

A messenger from the Ishtar Familia came to health mansion. She delivered the message to Bell. In their message they ask them to surrender at the wargame or else they won't see Chigusa and Haruhime again.

Bell returned the message that they won't surrender and will save  both Haruhime and Chigusa. Right after the messenger left the mansion, Welf brought a big box. He made magic swords for all of them. 

( Bell has ordered these magic swords before hand as he had a feeling that things might end up in this way.)

The Hestia Familia were under the surveillance of the members of Ishtar Familia. Bell and his friends put on their armors and weapons. All of them were given a joker mask so that they won't get caught by the public so easily.

They moved to their targeted location with the invisible cloth on them. 

All of them reached the Entertainment district. All of them except Bell and Ryu began causing damages in the district. They did this to gain the Centre of attention. Many of the Ishtar  Familia members were asked to deal with them.

By this time Ryu invaded the Ishtar Familia and start causing trouble to the members. Finally Ryu confronted Phryne. Both of them engaged in  a fight.

Bell went to save Haruhime and Chigusa.  On his way he charmed one of the  members of Ishtar Familia. She told Bell the exact location. Bell went straight for it. Bell confronted Samira on his way. Then both of them got into good fight. In the end Bell defeat Samira with a  5 sec charged Argonaut punch.

In the meantime Ishtar ordered her girls to go on a rampage in the heath mansion through an oculus. But she didn't knew that her children were  already under a violent storm. Freya family members defend Hestia familia home.

Bell finally reached his friends. They were locked behind a adamantine door. Bell didn't look for the keys, instead he unlocked the lock using a pin. Bell saw that both of them were chained. While Bell was unlocking the chains , Tammuz came from behind and closed the door from outside.

Tammuz laughed and mocked all of them. He also said that he and his friends will never see the sunshine ever in their life. But Bell remained calm. He took his time unlocking the chains. Finally he freed Haruhime and Chigusa from the chains.

Bell then began charging Argonaut in his hand. He began charging it in hand. Tammuz thought that he is going to punch the door open just like the other. Tammuz remained Bell that it was not going to work. 

After 4 minutes of full charge, Bell blasted the door along with the walls, opening a way outside the home. Tammuz got himself injured in the mess. Bell gave Haruhime and Chigusa his invisible cloth and ask them to get out off there.

Then Bell and Tammuz get into a rematch. This time Bell was way more stronger for him and he didn't hold back as well. Bell defeated Tammuz within 10 minutes. Bell then headed to help Ryu.

The other jokers who were attacking the entertainment district was doing good. Ryu had a hard time fighting with Phryne. To make things worse Ishtar showed up and charmed Ryu. At  the same time Bell popped up. 

Ishtar tried to charm Bell as well, but failed. She was surprised that her charm didn't work on Bell. She got angry and asked both Ryu and Phryne to kill Bell. Bell struggle really hard just to run away from them.  But they caught up to them. Bell was thoroughly beaten without any mercy.

When she was about to cut his head off about a 2 meter  tall man rushed towards her with a long sword. The man successfully hit her sword (with his full power) before it slashed Bell's neck. The force of his blade blow her away to the next building and was knocked out clean.

The man standing in front of Ishtar and Phryne was King Ottar. Both of them were taken aback. Then suddenly a womanly voice called out to them from behind.

Freya " It's been a while, Ishtar."

Ishtar " Freya, why are here? This is nothing to do with you?"

Freya with a cunning smile  pull out  a knife and showed to her " Is that so? then how do you explain this?"

It was the killing stone. Ishtar had lost her words. Phryne stood in between Freya and Ishtar.  But Freya charmed her in an instant.

Freya ordered" Go over there"

Phryne left her goddess without a word.

Ishtar " What?? You charmed my child."

Freya  " Ottar take my Rabbit to his home."

Ottar " Yes my lady."

The moment Ottar carried Bell to his room, Allen showed up on top of the building. 

Ishtar  walking backwards" This  was nothing intentional. Okay. So just leave us alone. "

Freya walking forwards" Don't say impossible things. "

Ishtar stripped and fall to the ground "  Please, I promise I won't get in your way ever again."

Freya stopped right Infront of her  and thought for a moment. 

Freya " I will give you two options. You will admit defeat in the wargame and  will pack your things  to move out , to put it simply  banishment. Or else you are going back to Heaven right now."

Ishtar had a despair look on her face. She cursed herself for not having powerful children just like Freya. After a moment of thought.

Ishtar " I'll leave Orario."

Freya threw away the killing stone  into the fire in the house nearby  and walked away. 

........................... 

In the evening the guide declared Takemikazuchi Familia as the winner ( Opponent withdrawn from battle on their own). Ryu was taken back  to the Traven by Freya Familia members. The guide imposed a huge payment against Freya Familia as punishment for destroying Ishtar Familia home. Ishtar dismantled her Familia and left Orario for Good.

After a few days.

Bell was laying  on bed while Hestia was updating his Status. 

Hestia " Well congratulations, Mr. Captain, you are level 4 now. And more importantly you have a new development ability ' High healing'  ".

Bell " It's being 8 months I came to Orario and now I am level 4. Thanks to my  rare skill. But the thing is how others are going to react to this. "

Hestia " How about you keep it from the Guild for now?"

Bell " Is it really okay for me to do that ?"

Hestia " Sure, you can. Even we Gods, do have secrets that we keep it from others. So you will be just fine with it.  "

Bell " Mm.."

Hestia " One important thing , we have two more new admissions into our Familia."

Bell " What? when did that happen?"

Hestia " You were unconscious for two days already now. By that time they joined us. "

Bell " Well then who are these people who joined us ?"

Hestia slightly tilting her head  " Liliruca Arde and Aisha Belka. A level 1 and a level 4."

Bell " WHAT?"

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

Takemikazuchi and his children thanked Hestia and Bell for helping them a lot. He let them have one third of the money they got from the wargame. He also paid off the money for the magic swords that helped to carve their way towards victory.

Ryu came to apologize for hurting him under Ishtar's charm. Bell easily forgave her by telling her that it wasn't her fault.

Lili had successfully paid off her payment to the Soma Familia. She thought  that the best fitting  place for her would be the Hestia Familia.

Aisha was moved by Bell's manliness. She wanted to be close to him. Hestia had  to make her sign into some strict restrictions that she came up with. Aisha prioritize her closure with Bell.

  Bell decided to hide his level up information from the guild as he thought that a question may arise about his level 3 achievement. Only he and his Goddess knew that he is level 4.

  Bell restarted his training with Ais. Ais could cleared  feel that he had become stronger. Lefiya began to lose to Bell every time they Faught. She was really frustrated about it.

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

Two weeks have passed.

One fine evening. Bell was taking some time off in his home. Lefiya and Elfy came up to  Bell with a differently looking girl. Her body was fully covered in a robe. She seemed afraid and was clinking to Lefiya's  clothing from behind.

Lefiya  " Bell, we  need you help."

Bell " What is it? You two look kind of in a  hurry and more importantly who is this?"

Lefiya " I will explain everything later just let us have a room?"

Bell "  Sorry, Lefiya  the rooms are fully occupied by the residents. "

Lefiya and Elfy seems to be worrying.

Bell " But if you insist I will you the key to the church, I mean our previous home."

Suddenly he saw hope in both of their eyes.

Lefiya " Okay that's great, give me the key."

Bell gave her the keys after some time of waiting. 

Lefiya " You come too."

Bell out of curiousness about the small girl " Okay."
