- Hestia already went back to Orario, assisted by some of Othello's guards. You decided to stay to continue your research on the peculiar plants that started growing -

"So, what are your plans?" Raziel asked. Staring at you while you examine more of the strange plant.

"Well... we don't know anything about it rather than improving my powers. So, I guess I'll just do this!" You exclaimed. Plucking the flower and completely devouring it.

"What are you doing!?" Raziel asked. Surprised by your sudden actions. He watched in disgust as you chewed and swallowed.

- You stand there, waiting for any changes in your body. It was a stupid thing to do, but you thought that if those plants came from inside your body, wouldn't it be logical to put it back? -

"I guess it didn't affect me... or did it!" You shouted. Summoning Legion, a shadow went out your body, but its dark color is now joined by a fiery yellow.

"Woah! You summoned them in that state!" Raziel shouted. In awe, but still disturbed by Legion's look.

"Dismiss." You said. Legion was despawned, "I need to study these plants more, I need to take them back to Orario. Now that Vonika joined Rakia, we need to up our defense and offense. I'll take Ryuu here some other time. We need to train. But for now... I think I need to apologize and spend some time with my Familia." You said. Raziel nodded, and you started collecting the plants.

- You and Raziel started cutting the plants from the stems. It doesn't die out even if it's separated from its roots. After collecting all of it, he packed it all in a cloth sack and gave it to you. You thanked him and started heading back to Orario -

<Timeskip>

- You arrived at the broken-down church. It has been days since you were here, and you're glad that you finally get to go back home. The only problem now is with Bell, you're too afraid to confront him... but luckily, you didn't -

"(Y/N)!?" Bell shouted. Running out of the church and hugging you, "I'm so glad you're okay!" He exclaimed. His tears run down his face as he hugs you tighter.

"I-I'm sorry for earlier, Bell. And thank you for still trusting me." You said with a content smile. You returned the hug and let go.

"I'm sorry about Vonika." Bell said. His face, painted with a sorrowful expression. You pat him on the back.

"It's okay, Bell. None of this is your fault. Goddess already told me about Vonika, and I'm sure she'll return to our side someday... Hopefully." You said. Unsure of what will happen.

"Okay, enough of this drama. I've been away for quite a bit of time. I need to get some proper rest." You said. Bell nodded and went inside also.

- You saw Hestia, already asleep. You smiled, remembering the times she helped you. How many times have you made a problem, but she still stayed by your side. You yawned, dropped the sack full of the plants, and plopped down on the sofa -
