With Bell having his Dungeon Diving halted due to his skyrocketing status, Lumas had stopped him in fear that if his status continues growing at such a speed that Bell will slowly lose control of his strength something Lumas had carefully explained to Bell, unsurprisingly Bell took his words to heart deciding to spend the next few weeks meditating and consolidating his strength
While Bell meditated, Ais spent her time helping Lumas. Whether it be waking him up when he slept in late, bringing him breakfast in bed, cuddling him during his nightmares, or even just letting him know that she will be there. Ais knew, inside Lumas was falling apart, she watched as he scrapped all his plans, plans that have been in motion for years just thrown out the window. She knew that his recent interest in rebuilding the Freycliff Kingdom was simply to solidify her memory, the thing Lumas fears most isn't losing her, death, or even whatever was at the bottom of the dungeon… he was afraid of forgetting… Forgetting the sound of her voice, the warmth of her skin, the radiance of her smile, the love they held…
Taking a sip from her glass, Ais turned her head to look at Lumas' sleeping figure. Only recently had he began sleeping till midday, a sense of sadness washed over her as she saw the slightest trembling, setting the glass aside she curled up next to him planting a kiss on his forehead, pulling him in close she whispered into his ear… it seems the scene still plagued his mind and heart…

Within an expanse of myraid colors a small tree like being was poking at a small note of light, this being; Yggy was beyond bored, she expected the outside world to be fun but it was even more boring than the Origin, atleast there different aspects of mana would fight for superiority, which would give her some sense of enjoyment. Never had she thought that Insec- Humans would be so lame… with a sigh her figure disappeared from the expanse reappearing in front of a sapling slightly taller than Yggy
Pressing her fingers against the singular leaf, large fluctuations of mana began to emit from her body creating a veil around the sapling… In the next moment both disappeared

Ais leaned against the door frame as she watched Lumas' back fade into the distance, he had some business to take care of with Mushdamma and Ais wasn't all too interested in talking about the details of castle building… As Lumas completely faded Ais turned around returning to the interior of the forge calling out as the door shut behind her
"Bell! Lunch!" Quickly grabbing thinly sliced ham from the ice box, three plates, and bread from the counter. By the time Bell came hurrying down the steps Ais had already made a few sandwiches, turning around she asked
"What? Your little girlfriend isn't coming? You might be able to hide it from Lumas but it isn't that easy to hide it from me"
As she spoke Bell froze midway down the steps, as he looked on at the three plates he let out a groan before turning around and heading back upstairs, Ais let out a small laugh as she sat down pouring herself a glass of Lumas' apple juice. She never understood how Lumas could drink so much of this stuff until she tried it, it was unlike any apple juice she had tried before…
As two sets of footsteps descended the stairs, Ais turned around slightly surprised to find Lefiya… who she thought stayed behind in the Alf Forest, Ais couldn't help but chuckle as she waved towards the blushing elf currently hiding behind Bell, if she was to be honest it was purely a guess that Bell had a girl over however she'd never admit to it
Lunch was fairly awkward and quiet, Bell always had trouble talking to Ais. He felt that divine judgment would fall upon him if he said something untoward so he usually kept his mouth shut, as for Lefiya she was currently having a mental breakdown Bell had told her that he could sneak her in and out without her being noticed but that seemed to be wrong, glaring at Bell she pouted
Ais couldn't help but 'poof' into laughter, Lefiya was unbelievably cute right now despite trying to look angry, "Hey Bell, Lumas told me to have you meet him at the Babel Tower today, Lefiya, you are welcome any time. All you have to do is knock," slowly a smile came to Ais' face "and if Lumas is bullying you… Just let me know" Bell shivered, that smile… it was nightmare fuel… it seemed so innocent but had a pressure hidden with in, Lefiya just stiffly nodded while taking nibbles from her sandwich

Freya was beginning to become upset, ever since that beautiful soul appeared her needs have begun to build up. It was nearly to the point where she couldn't get out of bed without feeling a weird sense of emptiness in her nether region (A/N: Don't ask…) that emptiness drove her mad…Thoughts of being savagely plundered by the owner to that soul plagued her mind, just imagining her insides being beat into shape caused her whole body to tremble… Deciding to just take a peek a violet gleam passed through her eyes
