Bell With The Danmachi System - 5 Joining A Familia
Near a large wall with a gate in front of it, a boy of nearly 16-years-old was standing there, though his actual age was 14 he look more mature than that, he had white hair and a perfect body which was covered by a jacket. He had a handsome face which would definitely get any woman for a date.
This boy was none other than Bell, the trip from his village to this place took nearly a month and a half. This was a little early by one month when the actual Bell reached Orario.
Though he could have reached here faster he chose not to do so as it would mess up the timeline and would disrupt his plans, he thought that this was exactly enough time for him to lay out the groundwork for himself.
When he entered the city after the normal check-in, he pretended to be a normal person who visited this place for the first time, he did this as he noticed a few people who were following him.
He didn’t lose them as he knew that they were mostly from the Hermes Familia or the guild who keep tabs on people going in or out checking for spies among them.
After a day of following they found out that there was nothing wrong with him and just left like that. Noticing that Bell had a slight smile on his face.
……
The next few days he just went around the town and finding out various places in the city. He also went inside the Dungeon and saw that the walls were black and monsters were roaming around every corner here.
He fought with a few of them and took their magic stones. He then went to the guild counter and exchanged the magic stones for money. He also exchanged the magic stones which he had from the village.
He got a total of 12.000 valis, considering that the magic stones were from monsters of only the first two floors it was a hefty amount. He went and saw that Loki Familia was preparing for an expedition in the later weeks, he realized that this was when they let the Minotaur’s loose in the upper floors.
He then went to Babel to check out the shops there, he saw a lot of shops of weapons, magic items, potions and so on. After that, he went to the food street and also saw Hestia selling jagamarukun there. After that he went back to the Guild, this routine was done for nearly two weeks along with the addition of visiting the library.
After that, he concluded a few things,
1. Magic is not so well developed here and mainly used by people with the Skill or elves.
2. Food also doesn’t have many varieties.
3. Common magic items rely on magic stones found from the dungeon.
4. Magic weapons have a limit and are not so advanced.
5. Entertainments like music, dance and such have not properly developed here.
With these, he found various possible paths for him to take in the future to earn money. He could find a way to let ordinary people use magic which can be used in their daily lives, open a restaurant with recipes from his world, alternative sources of energies for magical items or magic weapons which can be used without a limit and rely on the casters magic.
He also thought of inventing storage rings and such but decided to keep that for a later time.
He finally decided to join the Hestia Familia but since he just can’t just go and ask her he first went around asking other Familia’s
Familia 1:
“Huh?? You want to join our Familia… Hahaha nice joke kid but come back when you’ve grown up”
Loki Familia:
“Boy do you know that this is the Loki Familia, not just some random Familia where you can get into just by asking”
Freya Familia:
“I’m pretty sure he came here lusting after our goddess’s beauty like those other perverts, we should just kick him out”
Ganesha Familia:
“We are one of the top guilds in Orario, why should someone as weak as you be allowed to join us?? Kid listen to me and go back or you may get hurt”
Hephaestus Familia:
“Sorry we are a blacksmith Familia looking at you I’m sure you can’t even lift a hammer properly just go back, kid”
Though he knew that this was going to happen he still felt angry and thought that he would one day stand atop all these familia’s especially those of Freya’s Familia who said that he was a pervert. They would definitely regret saying that later when he takes Freya as one of his women.
Thinking so he went to the abandoned church which he was familiar with and just slept inside waiting for Hestia seeing that she was not there.
After a while he felt that someone was pulling his shirt, when he opened his eyes he saw Hestia, she was looking as she was in the anime with twin tails and huge boobs and a white one-piece which looks like it was worn a lot. She was blushing for some reason, but he mostly thought that it was due to him as he was really handsome compared to the Bell from the anime.
“Are you alright? What are doing here?”
“Nothing actually, I was really tired and saw that an abandoned church was here and since no Familia was willing to take me in I had no choice but to sleep here for the night”
“You’re searching for a Familia??”
“Yes but no one was willing to accept me since they said I looked really weak”
“Must be hard for you huh? Say what if and I mean… just what if some god or goddess lets you join their Familia but they were poor and you would probably be the only member?”
“I would still join them and I wouldn’t care how poor or how many members they had as long as they let me join I would put all my work into making that Familia into the No. 1 in Orario”
Listening to him saying that Hestia felt warm in her heart and also a red face after coughing twice she said, “Then would you be willing to join my Familia. Though we are poor and don’t have anyone else, we will have each other.”
“Please take care of me them goddess um… what was your name again??”
“Hestia”
“Then, please take care of me goddess Hestia”
“Same here Bell”
