The Gale Wind

Hedin was in  bed for a week. Freya took care of him until he recover completely from the injury. Bell  apologized to him  for pushing him to the doors of death. Hedin and Bell made up each other. Lefiya and Aisha can't believe that Bell had defeated Hedin. They acknowledged him for his feat.

The Hestia Familia rank had gone to rank B. Loki Familia was in uproar when they heard about the rumor of Bell winning a duel against Hedin. Aiz couldn't believe what she had heard. Then she started to believe that Bell was holding back at that time when she cut off his arm.

Freya thanked Hedin for serving her for long. Freya then released Hedin from her blessing. The Freya Familia members gave fare well to Hedin. 

Hestia ,Bell and other members welcomed Hedin to the Health mansion. Bell acknowledged Hedin for keeping his promise. Hestia then gave Hedin her blessing. 

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

It's being one year since Bell came to Orario. He spend  the  remaining 2 months of the last year training with Hedin. In the new year Hestia came up with an idea of going for a tour.

Hestia and her Familia  decided to go for the tour. Hestia told Bell that she wanted to explore more places. She hadn't been to anywhere  else ever since had dissented to the lower world. Bell had a lot of experience of travelling, so he agreed to take them to some good places. 

It was hard to get the permission from the guild. Bell was able to get it only after repeated pleading to Miss Eina. Then they brought new adventures clothes, some portions and other necessary items for a tour. 

Then they finally left Orario in search of some amusements. Bell decided to take them to the Swords village. On there way they saw  waterfall, streams,  sky touching mountains , valleys full of flowers. They were all a  refreshing sight to behold.

..........

The swords village wasn't that much developed, compared to Orario. But the interesting facts about it is that they have very beautiful and natural land features with amazing natural hot springs. The roadways covered with colored flowering trees. 

Finally Bell and his party reached the swords village. The town was fully crowded with people. It was the market place. Most of the people were selling weapons and armors. There were only a few number of shops that sells other commodities in that area.

Bell and Hedin decided to check on some weapons while the girls decided to check on the food stalls. Bell's armor was broken during the battle with Asterius. So he brought a black light armor almost similar to that of the previous one. Hedin was interested in buying some magic portions which can be used in some emergency.

When they are done shopping, the girls share some food with the boys. Hedin asked Lili to Keep in the portions in her bag. After that they discussed about the stay.

Aisha " You guys  can take other rooms. I will stay will stay with Captain."

Lili " That won't be necessary  all."

Aisha " As his companion, It's my duty, so don't interrupt."

Lili " I am also his companion, I can also serve Bell sama. "

Aisha with a smirk " Your child like body with no boobies is no match for mine"

Lili emitting jealous aura " Curse those fat buns."

Hedin " Stop it you too, you are making him uncomfortable."

Bell was only standing there with sweat dropping from his fore head. Hestia place her hand on her forehead and let out a sign.

  ???? " Is that you Hestia?"

Hestia  eyes widened " Oo Astraea, never thought that I will meet you here. " 

Astraea  " Long time no see, how you are doing? "

Hestia " I am just fine, how about you?"

Astraea " Just doing fine, Oo Hestia, are they your children?"

Hestia " Oo, Yes of course"

Astraea looking at Hedin " Wait a minute, I have seen you somewhere?"

Hedin " I am Hedin, I was a former member of Freya Familia."

Astraea " Oo now I remember. By the way why are you with Hestia, weren't you suppose to be with Freya, did something unexpected happen to her also?"

Hedin " No, She is fine. Even without me, she is still the strongest in Orario. But the thing is I lost to this guy in a duel and I ended up being the wise captain of Hestia Familia. "

When Astraea looked at Bell, he was staring at her boobs with some red patches on his face.

Lefiya hit Bell with her staff " You pervert, where are you staring at?"

All other were staring at Bell with dead eyes.

Bell " Oww, that hurts, I am sorry, okay?"

  Astraea  let out a laughter" Quiet an interesting child you got there, Hestia. "

Hestia let out a sign" Why don't you all introduce yourself?"

Everyone introduced themselves to Astraea. Then she introduced Hestia and her children to a hotel where they can stay.  Astraea was working in a smith's shop along with her child 'Cecil'. She came to this village 7 years ago after the tragedy. 

Astraea and Cecil took a break from their job.  Astraea introduced the village and other beautiful places connected to the village, to the Hestia Familia.  They were wondering all along the village. There were many flowering trees all over the village. Then they visited a waterfall from the nearby mountain. They even bathed at the foot of  that waterfall. 

Then in the evening they were all having tea at a stall. There Astraea shared her thoughts  about the tragedy that had occurred to her children when they were in Orario.  Then the atmosphere around her was so gloomy.  Hestia and her children cheered her up.

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

In the evening, Bell was in his room gazing into the street through the window. He was thinking about the pain Ryu had been going through. 

Then suddenly they heard a adventurer shouting 'monster'. That adventurer had lost an arm. He was screaming for help. Other people around the town helped him heal his wounds. Hedin asked the adventurer about the details of this monster. And this monster that caused this trouble seem to be a 'Moss Huge'.

Bell and his team decided to wipe out this monster. The next morning they set out to the nearby forest to  kill this Moss Huge. Upon reaching a certain point they decided to split up and look for the same. To ensure not to get lost they left marks on the trees.

  Except Bell all others were forced to fight off some 'Blue crabs'. Hedin then encounter the Moss huge. Unlucky for  the Moss Huge it didn't stand a chance and was killed by Hedin. Other members were forced to fight and dispose of the  remaining Blue Crabs.

Meanwhile, Bell was walking through the forest. Then he heard someone pleading to someone not to kill him. Bell then rushed to spot. There he found a man crawling backward from his opponent. And this opponent is none other than 'Ryu Lion' herself and that man crawling backwards were 'Jura'. Bell was shocked to find her in a situation like that.

Bell decided to save that man from been killed. He stood in been the jura  and Ryu. Ryu was shocked to find Bell. She never expected Bell to see her  in a situation like this. She then quickly regained her composure and asked Bell to step aside.

Ryu had already made up her mind to kill Jura. Bell also made up his mind to stop Ryu from committing any more murder.  Then Bell and Ryu were forced to fight each other. At this point, Bell was stronger than Ryu. Ryu was shocked to find that her attacks are no match against Bell. Bell used her own technique to knock her down with a axe kick, right in her chin. 

Bell was too focused in that battle. When he turned back, he found that Jura had already left. Hedin and others just arrived at the spot.  Bell explained things to Hedin and they  decided to take her to the village.

Hestia Familia  announced that they have successfully defeated the Moss Huge. When one of the villager asked about the  unconscious lady on the back of Bell, he lied to them that she is a victim of the Moss Huge.

Astraea and Cecil  were shocked to see Ryu. Bell told Astraea and Hestia about what had actually occurred. Astraea started to worry about her.

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

When Ryu wake up, she was in bed. Astraea were sitting nearby her head.

She was gently strocking her head. Ryu was shocked to see her Goddess.
