11 Chapter 11
You know sometimes I do question if Bell's traits are still with me even though we fused like his Liaris Freese skill will I be able to get it without a god blessing heck will I ever fall in love with someone like OG Bell did, what about his Argonaut skill as well as his luck into getting in problems.
Why is nothing going according to what I planned, currently I'm being held by a gang from Evilus who are running away from the Astraea Familia members.
You say how did I get into this situation? well, that's an excellent question and I will shamelessly blame my luck for it.
I was minding my own business just strolling around while using the map to guide me, I was planning to mark a good place to set the array on the west side Because I decided to split the array into 9 parts one in each direction North, South, East, West, North-West, North-East, South-West, South-East and the finale one at the center, At the top of babel.
I chose the go to the west side first, it didn't matter which one I start with anyway as I would go in every direction at the end.
I found a good spot on the wall and marked it and decided to go to the South-Western side it had the market area on it and I can slowly head near the walls and mark a good spot there too.
I entered the Market area and wondered for a bit I even brought some chicken skewers with me they were delicious but alas fun times don't last.
The area I was in got attacked by Evilus members at first I was about to activate my ghost ability to avoid getting dragged into this mess but there was a problem you see.
These Evilus members had their eyes on me….I WAS THEIR FUCKING TARGET, TO BEGIN WITH.
They just picked me up and started running away before anyone noticed them they didn't even bother tying me up.
This is fine with me as I only needed to get away from people's eyes and I can kill them and burn their traces but guess who we meet, want to guess oh wait I already told you Astraea Familia and that's how it all started.
Currently, it's only Alise and Ryuu that are chasing after them looks like the others are taking care of the rest in the way oh never mind they are in front of us they blocked their way.
"Kuh…damn you Astraea Familia, Boss we are surrounded," One of the guy said to the guy holding me oh so he is the boss.
"hehe Astraea Bitches if you dare take one more step I will kill this child," The Boss said to them and it was effective as they stopped at their track.
"But Boss is it really fine to get rid of the merchandise it was hard to get him you know" one of the minions was whispering to him though I think everyone heard him.
"Shut up what's the point of it if we don't get out of here alive"
Sheesh I was about to be sold alright I have to reveal a bit this is going nowhere I started wiggling in his arms and freed my arm to reach my pocket as he was about to hit me I was faster than him and used my leg to punch him in the forbidden zone (The Balls) he let go of me from the pain but there were his minions on the side they were all shocked I mean even the Astraea Familia was shocked to what I did Yo it's not time for this you need to help me.
I used that as a chance to put a bit of distance, but they reacted quickly and tried to catch me, fortunately, I took 3 talismans from my pocket they were engraved with an Intermediate level spell a Level 3 Shadow Nails Thorns I activated them and they started shooting 9 shadowy looking nails that when inside the body of the target and stop their movement, I managed to hit 7 of them but that was enough as the Astraea Familia aren't just sitting around this time, it only took them 2 minutes to take them down nice I will just slip away while they are busy.
"And where do you think you're going little rabbit" I only moved one step and got picked up immediately by non-other then Alise herself sigh I'm not good with this one.
"…To the Inn, I'm going to sleep"
"You were about to be sold and you still want to sleep?"
"When you are hungry you eat, when you want to pee you pee, so if you want to sleep you sleep why do you complicate things am I not save now and put me down I don't like being touched by strangers."
"…You're quite an interesting child aren't you, and I'm not going to put you down you are coming with me to the guild"
"Why?"
"We need to report to them what happened to you"
"Do we need to, and put me down"
"Yes, we do And you feel and smell nice so it's a no take it as a payback for embarrassing me in the morning"
Smell nice? I guess that's the effect of the skill that I purchased when I was training my array skill as I won't need to take a shower but feel nice…?
Sigh why do I keep getting involved with them where are Ganesha people when you need them, wait a second Ardee is still there, could be worst than this one.
"Alise we are done tying them up," Ryuu said as she got closer to us.
"That was fast"
"It was fast only because most of them can't move thanks to someone," Kaguya said as she was dragging them to the side.
"Ganesha People will come to arrest them so while we wait for them how about you tell us what you did to them kid" The pink-haired pallum Lyra.
"….."
"Not saying anything huh fine stay like that we will now sooner or later know anyway." She said while grinning as if not wanting to give information to her is just a play.
"….All of you look like kidnappers when you surround and carry me like this, I don't even trust you why should I talk to creeps like you"
"KIDNAPPERS!! How dare you!! we are the Astraea Familia We fight evil to bring justice to the world and what do you mean by creeps??" The Elf Ryuu started screaming at me sheesh talk about a short temper.
"Kid you better watch your tongue, you call us creeps and don't trust us, but aren't you enjoying the attention you're getting from 4 beauties not to mention being embraced by one of them" The black-haired human Kaguya Started talking, this girl is just helpless nothing good comes from that mouth of hers and watch what you say to a kid.
"Astraea Familia is everything fine here I heard the sound of fighti- oh it's the child from we met in the morning is he fine?" An Elf with long green hair asked
"Yes he i-"
"I'm being carried by a pervert who says I smell and feel nice and getting screamed at by an Elf while being questioned by a Pallum not to mention being harassed verbally by that black-haired who claimed that they are a bunch of beauties and I'm enjoying being carried like some sort of Pet, Do I look fine to you?"
"….."
"….."
"….."
"….."
"…..They did what to you"
"I'm being carr—mfpf" I was going to repeat what I said but they silenced me before I could, fools your only going to be suspected if you do this.
"…You girls…. come with me to the guild now" The green-haired elf gave a glare to the girls and I felt all of them shivering hehe payback time.
"B-b-but Riveria the criminals we have to-"
"Ganesha Familia is here, we are here to arrest Evilus members"
""""…."""" Talk about perfect timing huh.
"Now to the guild, and put the child down"
Get told Yo, sweet revenge now I should get going before they involve me again.
"You are coming with us as well child….Don't give me that look I know you're uncomfortable with them but you're involved in the incident"
"…Fair enough but I'm tired of walking too much how about I go to the guild tomorrow"
"Sigh I will carry you to the guild come here"
"W-what? I'm heavy and-"
"Come here stop making excuses"
Fuck alright, that was on me I should have expected this to happen aaah this whole thing is a mess it's all because of these stupid Evilus members I swear if it wasn't for the plot I would have wiped you out myself, I did all of this to save Alfia and Zald I swear to god if they say something stupid like they don't desire to live anymore I will wipe the floor with their faces.
While I was thinking Riveria picked me up like a proper child, not a pet oh that doesn't feel bad.
"Oh your actually good at this"
"..What do you mean?"
"You know it doesn't feel weird when you do it unlike someone"
"Well, I had trained how to do it because of a troublesome child we have at the Familia well I'm glad it paid off" Hmm is she talking about Aiz she was quite rebellious at this age.
"It's quite comfortable thank you"
"You as well"
"Huh"
"I-I mean you're not struggling much"
"…" I'm leaving Orario as soon as I can, fuck these people man they are all creeps I will resume the plan in ghost mode I refuse to get involved with them anymore I should have done this from the beginning.
We took some time to get to the guild Riveria put me down before we entered the guild and thank god she did because it was packed with people that would have been embarrassing with all of the stares we are getting yes I'm included as well I know it's weird for a child to be here but do you have to stare that much.
Riveria took Astraea members with her to one of the guild rooms but she told me to wait here they won't take long, and I of course agreed to be a good boy (Stop the cap).
As soon as they got into the room I turned around only to hit someone and fall down…. damn it's Finn.
"And where are you going in a hurry?" he extended his hand to help me up I took it and replied to him.
"To the Inn to sleep Of course it's past my sleep time you know," I told him a lie with a straight face but he only smiled at me…I have a bad feeling about this.
"Even though Riveria told you to stay here?"
FUCK FUCK FUCK he heard it all I will not be able to escape at this point I need a plan and I'm not confident I can outsmart Finn at all.
"Relax we are not going to do anything to you we are just trying to help you okay"
He gave me a pat on the head to calm me down… weird I thought I didn't like pats from strangers is it because I actually respect him? I mean he was one of my favorite characters and what I liked about him is not his strength but his wits.
I'm definitely making that same stupid face when Grandpa does it to me I can already hear those female adventurers whispering about Braver's kind side…wait….Braver… Female Adventurers….
"So you are the Braver"
"Oh you know about me I'm flattered"
"Of course I do, you are the symbol of bravery and the hope of the Pallum race you inspired many people from your race and other races as well and there was one more thing about you what was it? oh yeah, I remember" I started smiling the same way he did his mouth twitched a bit did his thump warn him already? Matter not.
"I heard you are the dream of every woman"
"ha haaa ha and where would you hear that from?" His smile cracked a bit but I didn't answer his question I turned around and started yelling at the top of my voice.
"BRAVER SAID ANYONE WHO GETS THE NECKLACE UNDERNEATH HIS SHIRT WILL RISE A CHILD WITH HER AND CHOOSE HER AS HER WIFE"
He looked at me in shock at what I said rather it was not just him the whole guild went silent and everyone is looking our way.
"Why do you thi-" I think he was about to say why would anyone believe what I said but stopped when he felt the strong itching in his thump making his eyes widen.
Hehehe, fool you think they care if what I said is true or not you basically underestimate how strong your charm is to women and how you acted close to me by patting me on the head they can do what they want and easily put the blame on me as they thought what I said is true muahaha.
"Now, now everyone let's no-"
"I will be your wife braver!!"
"Move away bitch!!! he is mine"
"MARRY ME BRAVER!!"
"GIVE ME SOME MONKEYS DEAR"(if you know you know)
"Wait everyone it-"
Before he can finish what he was saying he was in front of an army of females funny enough most of the males just stood there laughing their asses off at this absurd situation it didn't take long for the guild to descend to chaos Finn could not afford to stick close to me I saw his hand move towards but retreated quickly because I will be a burden to his escape they are already blocking all places he can escape from, I used this chance to slip between then used the small opening in the door to escape as soon as I got out I can only hear screams, I pray for your safety Finn please don't blame me for this I need to get out of there at all cost.
I started running toward the gate exit why you ask? well, are you really asking this after all the things I did, I insulted the Astraea Familia As well as successfully offended the Loki Familia Not only Finn but Riveria as well as I didn't listen to what she said.
I need to leave Orario if they questioned me about the talisman it will be over as I can't lie to a god it will change the flow of war so I need to get out of here before they catch on to me.
I managed to run all the way to the city gate while keeping myself out of people's eyes if they saw this could lead them in my direction for now they will probably think I'm getting my stuff back so this buys me more time, as I got close to the gate I saw Mr.Gallas who saw me as well and was surprised.
"Oh Bell is everything alright? did you manage to find your family?"
"No, not really I managed to find them but they are sadly dead I'm going back to Grandpa's place" Hear me out I'm technically not lying as there are some Zeus and Hera members buried here in Orario and they can be considered my uncles and aunties.
"I'm sorry about this, do you want to stay at my place for today and go tomorrow I won't charge you"
"Thank you for the offer Mr.Gallas but I need to get on the road as I have a long way home the sooner I get the better as I don't want Grandpa to be alone for long he is probably worried about me"
"…I see, Well I don't have many ways to help you in your journey but… I can take you out directly without going through the checkpoint again"
"Is that fine? isn't it bad if it's found out?"
"You have been to Orario for barely half a day that are many people that leave shortly after their arrival and it's a waste of time to check them out especially if they don't belong to a Familia not to mention I'm the one who registered you so it's fine"
"Thank you so much, Mr.Gallas you have been very kind to me ever since I got here" Nice I can get out faster than I thought
"Haha, It's my job after all just make sure you stay alright okay" He patted my head and lead me outside Orario I bid him farewell and went on my way as soon I put some distance and saw no people around me I turned on ghost mode and went back to Orario but the difference this time is I'm a ghost I will ignore the chaos I created and hope again that it doesn't affect the plot… please don't I beg of you.
