Chapter 6: Goddess
I woke up with the sound of laughter and mirth in the background. For some time I didn't remembered where I was but quickly enough the night before came back in my mind.
So yes the goddess of fertility... And today I need to find a Familia... Let's get up for the moment.
As I descend the stare, I rapidly see what is the cause of all the laughing that I heard form my bed. The waitress were washing dishes and Syr was on the floor holding her ribs and laughing so luck that tears feel down form her eyes. The others were giggling while washing and soon Mia saw me approaching. She seems a little bit surprised but quickly said hello to me.
"So Bell did you sleep well? And you forgot to pay me yesterday!"
"Yes slept fine and sorry I forgot I will pay you now. To apologize, can I help you with something?"
"Go help the girls with the washing if you want to be useful."
The girls hasen't seen me for the moment so at the time I I passed through the door Syr screamed and all the others prepared themselves like a monster came. 2 of the waitress had suddenly knifes in their hands and the others had a martial stance.
" Euh... Good morning girls."
Syr quickly see the awkwardness and answer:
"Hello Bell!!! How are you today?"
"Fine thanks, Mia told me to help you here with the dishes."
"Okay come on, stand here and pass the glasses to Ryuu, you just need to rince them, it's the easiest."
"Okay fine for me."
After 20 minutes of dish washing the peaceful atmosphere came back in the kitchen but suddenly Syr threw a bucket full of water at the back of Bell. Icy cold water. For revenge Bell filled a glass and threw the water in the direction of Syr. But half of the water felled on Arnya. What followed is a kitchen water war generalized... And Mia came at the door and all the participant froze. Syr was pouring a giant bucket of water on Bell who took the most damage. Not an inch of his body was not wet and dripping water. His clothes were stuck to his skin and his hairs were flattened to his head.
"Oups! I slipped boss." immediately said Syr... While continuing to shower Bell with water.
"Yes indeed it's so the floor is so wet that you just slipped... And if you don't clean it in the next 2 minutes I will slip and my feet will be stuck in your back... Hunhun."
"Yes boss immediately boss !!!" said the whole assembly of 4 waitress and Bell.
Thanks to magic they were quickly ready and the kitchen spotless. Only Bell was still dripping, nobody was wanting to dry him, nobody know why... No link with the fact that his clothes were stuck to his skin, completely showing his muscles to everyone. It's completely different!!!
After Bell went up to his room to change his shirt, a little discussion with sudden exclamation of "and his body!" was operating downstairs.
The water fight was really funny, but now I need a change of clothes... And I still need to find the goddess. Maybe Mia has an idea about her whereabout.
After my quick change, I went downstairs and ask Mia about the goddess Hestia.
She answered that she heard about her and one of her client was talking about a friend of hephaestus working at a potato stand. As it's my only clue I need to go there. I quickly told goodbye to everyone and went to the stand.
I'm the only client there and watch the girl at the counter. She is quite little, with two twin braids, black hair, blue eyes, and a big chest.
I ask her:"Are you the goddess Hestia?"
"Yes I am why? Do you need something?"
"Yes I don't have a Familia and I thought that maybe..."
"Yes join my Familia!!!!!!!"
"Are you... "
"Please!!!!"
"You know that normally I should be the one begging to join?"
"Yes but I really want a Familia and everyone want to join other Familia with more wealth than mine."
"Before I join can I ask you what you see in a Familia?"
"A family and a home. Why? Do you see it differently?
" No its perfect goddess Hestia, can I join your Familia please? My name is Bell Cranel, glad to meet you. "
" As you know I'm Hestia and welcome to my Familia, I just need 30 minutes before the end of my turn so.."
"I will wait here don't worry."
After helf and hour of talking and laughing together, Bell and Hestia became closer like they knew each other for years. They walked to an old church and Hestia entered by the decrepit door. Bell followed her. The interior is quite good looking, and the sofa seems comfy enough.
Hestia asked Bell to lay on his belly and Bestia jumped on his back.
"So Bell,to enter the Familia I need one from of your blood and with it and my limited god power, I will be able to see your status and write it automatically here in this paper. At the same time, your guild card will be updated and you will not need to go to the hall to change it. So are your ready? Because the first blessing can be painful, it depends of the body limitation, bloodline, magic. "
" Yes don't worry goddess I'm ready, do you need to see my upper half of the body? "
" Yes it will be easier. "
Bell undressed himself and laid back on the sofa. Hestia is back above him and take a little curvy knife to cut superficially Bell's back.
After that, she drew symbols on the air and chanted an incantation.
The air became filled with magic and soon a white light illuminate the room. The light become more and more powerful and reach her maximum when Hestia touch Bell's back with her palm.
At the same time, Bell feels some formidable amount of energy but quickly a lot of pain like never before, especially his eyes. It's lucky that his arms and legs and paralyzed by the pain because otherwise he would have surely destroyed the room.
As the light diminished, a sheet of paper is formed from the magic symbols and Hestia read soem part of it.
Her eyes opened wide and a cry escaped her lips.
She turned to Bell but seeing that he is unconscious she didn't ask anything. But said "is he only human?"
In Bell's mind, another scene is playing. A nude Bell is in front of a huge ball of white light.
"So that's probably my soul. What do I need to do here?" he asked himself.
He is not very at ease and just float around the ball like it's a zero gravity place. But suddenly the space around his began to crackle and exposed in shard of light. He is pushed from the white ball and is now in front of another ball, but bigger and even wighter.
"So that's the blessing from a god. It's truly very powerful. I think that my body will be even stronger. And if I remember well, my eyes too."
Soon after, the Bell is aspirated by the white ball and opened his eyes.
He is still on the sofa at the church and Hestia is sleeping on him. She is even drooling a bit on his shirt.
He just had the time to say " Hugh,what a day!"before he lost consciousness once more.
