Bell shuddered for a second as he observed his surroundings. "..." He shook his head as he obviously saw nothing but the busy street he was currently on. He got a strange feeling just now, like someone was watching him, the same feeling of yesterday. He sighed as he let it go, and continued making his way towards the dungeon wearing his same attire. Well, he was actually going to buy a few potions first.

He had some spare daggers from just in case his other ones got destroyed, none of them really being too much better than the last one. The last one being bent and going dull.

Sure he could have maybe found a blacksmith to repair it for him, but it felt more natural having multiple than going to repair it just for it to possibly dent again.

Now that doesn't mean he didn't want a blacksmith in his party, it just wasn't on his mind right now.

"Uhm, excuse me." He stopped in his tracks and slightly turned around. He was met with a girl who had bluish gray hair that she kept tied with a small knot in a ponytail style. Her eyes were the same color as her hair and she had a light peachy colored smooth skin. She wore a white blouse with a leaf-colored knee-length long skirt. She also wore a slightly long half apron around her waist. She wears a pair of brown boots over black stockings.

Ugh, the way he described her appearance in detail, he can hear his grandfather's words. "Remember Bell, you don't want to miss a single detail of any of your girls, you have to treat all your girls equally if you want them to be fair in bed! Or on second thought, don't. Have some favorites, after all, less is more."

He put his attention back to the girl in front of her. "What do you want?" Bell asked.

"Oh, uhm, I'm sorry, it's just I saw you drop this." Bell looked down to the hand she was extending, seeing a magic stone.

"I did?" He wondered as he took the magic stone out of her hand and slightly inspected it. "I could have sworn I cashed in all my drop items yesterday..."

Well whatever, it was free money. He gave a slight bow. "Thank you very much ma'am."

"H-Huh? Oh I mean, you're welcome." Geez, he should have a counter to count the many times people reacted like that or something for how many times he let his 'nice' side show after his snarky side.

Well that's what Hestia called it.

At this point, he should have a card or something.

He ignored her reaction as he put the stone in a small pouch where he kept stones and drop items.

"You're an adventurer right?" She asked.

"Hm?" He looked up at her in curiosity, why was she starting a conversation all of a sudden? Well he guessed it didn't matter, he wasn't in a hurry. "Yeah. I'm heading to the dungeon right now actually."

"You're going to the dungeon this early?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

"Yeah, it's better like this." He simply said.

His stomach decided to growl at that moment.

"Was that... Have you not eaten?" She asked.

"No, but it's fine, I got some leftover food from what my goddess made for me yester-" As he was talking, he was taking said leftovers that was in a small box out of one his bag pockets to prove his point, but once he took it out to show it to the girl, she was gone. "Day..."

Bell stared at the empty air in front of him, but slightly looked up to the building in front of him with both doors open, he tilted his head as he saw a bunch of seats set up upside down on the tables, obviously they were closed.

Is it wrong to want to destroy the dungeon?Where stories live. Discover now
