Chapter 21 – Reward, Weapons, and Dungeon

“Lili…” Bell breathed out, kissing her lips a second later.

“Mmm…Bell~” Lili moaned when their lips separated. “I’m supposed to be rewarding you.” Her brown eyes were filled with desire as she gently pushed him back. Bell sat on the edge of Lili’s bed and watched as his Prum girlfriend stripped in front of him.

“You’re beautiful, Lili.” Bell’s eyes roamed up and down Lili’s body. She’d taken everything except her panties off, letting him see almost every part of her body.

“You’re too sweet to Lili, Master Bell…” Lili purred out the last part as she kneeled between his legs. “Let’s get these off.” She deftly undid his belt, and her fingers had his pants open a second later. Bell lifted his hips off the bed when Lili grasped the waistband of his pants and pulled them down along with his boxers. “Ah~” A naughty smile formed on Lili’s face as she beheld her boyfriend’s hard length.

“Lili…” Bell looked into her eyes, feeling her warm breath on his cock was too much.

“Mhmm, Lili will take care of you, Master Bell…” Lili promised before kissing the tip of his dick. Her tongue came out to swirl around the tip, tasting him. Bell could only groan in pleasure as Lili’s hot tongue dragged down the entire length of his cock. “Do you like that, Master Bell?” Lili teased him before flattening her tongue against the underside of his length and licking all the way back up to the tip.

“Fuck, Lili!” Bell’s hips bucked slightly from the pleasure.

“No, no, Master Bell, Lili isn’t quite ready for that yet.” Lili shook her head, the pure teasing her voice should’ve been criminal. “But she will please you as much as you want~” With that Lili kissed the head of his cock again before taking him into her mouth for the first time.

“Yes.” Bell exhaled the word as Lili took him deeper into her hot mouth. It was similar to when Hestia did this with him, but uniquely different as well.

‘Lili will take all of you, Bell.’ Lili promised in her mind, moving forward further and easing him into her throat. She pulled back a few seconds later, sucking along his length the whole way until only the tip was left between her lips.

“Oh fuck, Lili…” Bell didn’t know that Lili would be so good on their first time doing this together.

Lili moaned at the praise, moving forward again to take him deep into her mouth and then her throat. She relaxed her throat and managed to get Bell even deeper this time. His girth almost felt like it was stretching her throat. ‘Oh Gods, why does that turn me on so much?’ Lili wondered, even as her right hand slipped into her panties to play with her pussy.

“Hmmm…” Bell let his head fall back as Lili continued to suck him off. Her tight throat was making it incredibly hard not to cum already. Trying not to buck his hips into her mouth was the only thing he could distract himself with.

“Pah!” Lili pulled back and freed his length from her mouth. “Master Bell…so big~” She rubbed her face against his cock lovingly, her eyes hazy with lust and desire. “Cum for Lili...” Lili took him back into her mouth and deepthroated him again.

“Lili!” Bell grabbed the blankets beneath him to stop the instinctive bucking of his hips as Lili managed to take him to the base. His girlfriend gave him no chance to get ahold of himself though. Lili swallowed, her tight throat now practically milking his cock. “I’m gonna…”

“Mmm~” Lili hummed with Bell still buried in her throat and relished in the feeling of his hand holding the back of her head when he let loose. Thick, hot seed flooded Lili’s throat. She swallowed reflexively, coaxing more and more from Bell. Lili wouldn’t let him go until she had all of it!

“Holy…fuck…Lili…” Bell panted as he fell back onto her bed.

“Ufh…hmmph…haaah~” Lili swallowed the rest of Bell’s load and stuck her tongue out as tremors of pleasure raced through her body. She’d just had a small orgasm from giving Bell a blowjob. “Master Bell…” Lili panted out, her breaths heavy with love, lust, and desire. “You gave Lili so much~” She wasted no time took his half-hard cock into her hands, gently stroking it while her tongue began to tease his sack.

“Lili…wait…” Bell sat up a bit on his elbows. “I’m still…”

“How can you say that, Master Bell?” Lili purred while nuzzling his rapidly growing length. “Your balls are still so full…and you’re already getting hard again~”

“That’s because you’re…” Bell tried to say only for Lili to start licking his sack again before her tongue trailed back up his length.

“Lili wants it all, Master Bell~” Lili looked at him with such desire that Bell went silent. Seeing her boyfriend’s desire quickly rising to match her own, Lili took him into her mouth again. She bobbed her head, taking a bit more each time until she deepthroated him and went all the way to the base.

“Lili, you’re too good.” Bell’s fingers ran through her brunette locks as he placed his hand on her head. The moan that vibrated his cock in her throat was more than enough to let Bell know that Lili was enjoying herself just as much as he was. “I’ll guide you, Lili…” He pulled her back up his length, freeing himself from her throat long enough to let her breathe, and then urged her forward all at once.

“Gagkh!” Lili gagged a little and Bell groaned at the sensation. Lili wrapping her left arm around his waist as he bobbed her head up and down his cock was proof that she wasn’t going to let him pull her away. Her right hand was preoccupied playing with her pussy, her white panties were completely soaked through already as the double stimulation brought her over the edge again.

Lili would make good on her promise to drain Bell completely before they were done.

The lovers would then take a long soak in the large tub together, just enjoying cuddling each other.

Hestia happily welcomed Lili into the master bedroom that night, the three of them snuggling together before falling asleep surrounded by love.

-Next Day ~ Dungeon Floor Eleven-

Bell’s black spear pierced through the neck of an Orc. With a quick sideways movement, the sharp blade slashed open the large Monster’s throat into a fountain of blood. The Orc collapsed face first to the grassy ground with a thud.

“Gii!”

“Gee!”

“Rah!”

Three Imps rushed Bell from behind, using their small wings to glide towards him with their claws at the ready.

“Hrn!” Bell swung his spear in a wide arc, bisecting the three Imps in a single swing. The bodies hit the floor of the Dungeon with wet splats.

“Ruagggaaaa!” A Silverback roared out, dropping from a nearby dead tree, trying to crush Bell.

Bell pivoted out of the Silverback’s landing area and saw the Monsters indent the grassy ground with its body weight. “Firebolt.” He cast his Magic, not at the Monster, but into his spear. The rapier-like blade ignited a split second after a small set of runes near the base glowed. “Yah!” The thrust of his flaming spear obliterated the Silverback’s head, killing it instantly. The flames died out a second after the strike.

“Kokutogenishiki is damn nice, huh?” Welf laughed at seeing his new creation at work in Bell’s hands.

“It’s great!” Bell smiled brightly at the weapon.

“Behind you, Mr. Welf!” Lili called out in warning. The dog-like ears of her Chienthrope form picking up on the sounds around her, even in the melee.

Welf took his greatsword with a firm two-handed grip and spun to face his attackers, a pair of Imps gliding down from a nearby dead tree. “Hah!” His blade slashed both of the Monsters in half.

“Buhaaa!” An Orc wielding a landform weapon came charging through the fog at Welf, the club raised high to strike.

“Bring it!” Welf readied his greatsword but didn’t notice the Bat Monster flying above him.

“Kiiiiii!” The Bat unleashed a disorientating sonic attack that made Welf’s ears ring and his vision double.

“A Bad Bat!” Lili took aim at the airborne Monster with her bowgun and launched a bolt at it.

“Kiii-eek!” The Bad Bat died instantly as Lili’s bolt impaled it. The Monster falling towards the ground like a stone.

“Welf!” Bell rushed in, his spear stabbing into the Orc’s arm, making it drop the club as it bellowed in pain.

“Buhhiii!” The Orc reeled back, its arm gushing blood.

“YAH!!!” Welf swung his greatsword with full force, decapitating the Orc easily. The head rolled across the grass before the body fell backwards with a crash.

“Graaaahhh!”

“Grraahhh!”

Two Hard Armoreds stomped towards the three-man party, but they weren’t alone.

“Gii!”

“Geehe!”

“Gee!”

“Gigii!”

Multiple Imps surrounded the two large Monsters, clearly looking to take advantage of any opening the Hard Armoreds made.

“Just one Monster after another today!” Lili commented unleashing more bolts and killing two of the Imps with head shots.

“I’ve got the Hard Armoreds!” Bell blitzed forward with his spear. “Firebolt!” The blade burst into flames just before it pierced through the soft underbelly of the closer Hard Armored. The flames spread inside of the armadillo-like Monster, noted by the way its skin glowed. Blood and smoke started pouring out of the gut wound, along with the mouth and nose of the Monster, its insides thoroughly cooked by the flaming spear.

Bell let go of his spear, and drew both of his knives. The red blade of Ushiwakamaru glinted in the light of the Dungeon, while the black blade of the Hestia Knife seemed to absorb light. Bell was in the second Hard Armored’s guard before it could react.

“Graaah?!” The Hard Armored jerked back, trying to instinctively curl up into a ball.

“Gnnnh!” Bell’s blades sank into the soft underbelly easily. He dragged them downwards, nearly gutting the Hard Armored instantly. He pivoted to the side as a wave of blood splattered the grass. The armadillo-like Monster crashed to the ground dead a half-second later.

“Ain’t Minotan great too?” Welf grinned brightly, his greatsword stabbed into the body of a dead Imp.

“No, no, no! We named it Ushiwakamaru, remember?” Bell corrected Welf quickly. He still didn’t fully understand Welf’s naming sense, but Ushiwakamaru was way better than Minotan!

“Right, right!” Welf waved it off with a laugh. “Are both of your weapons performing as you expected?”

“They’re amazing!” Bell gushed as he retrieved his black spear from the first dead Hard Armored.

“The fog is clearing up a bit.” Lili mentioned as she looked around. “I don’t see any other Monsters.”

“Maybe we’re finally getting a bit of a break?” Welf sighed even as he also scanned the area just in case. “Sorry about the Bad Bat, back there.” He rubbed the back of his head. “I should’ve been more careful.”

“It’s no biggie.” Bell assured Welf with an understanding smile. “What are friends for?”

“That was a Monster Howl.” Lili informed them both as she started gathering the Imp corpses into a pile. “The Bad Bat’s version rattles the mind, making your body lock up and stopping you from casting Magic.” She looked between Bell and Welf as she continued. “Lili has heard that some Monster Howls can launch shockwaves in the floors lower than this one. And some howls aren’t weapons, but merely a way to summon a massive amount of other Monsters to the area.”

“A Monster that can cause a Monster Party to form?” Bell blinked at the idea. It was similar to what the Killer Ants did with their pheromones and summoning a huge swarm for back up.”

“Right,” Welf nodded resolutely. “I’ll make sure to be on guard against these little jerks from now on.” He lightly tapped the dead Bad Bat on the ground with his boot.

“Lili will get to work on harvesting the Monsters,” Lili pulled out her knife and her bag of tools. “With any luck will have plenty of Parts and Drop Items.” She grinned while eyeing up all of the tough scales on the backs of the two Hard Armoreds. “Those should fetch a nice price from Hephaestus Familia.”

“They do make pretty good armor.” Welf nodded to the Supporter with a grin. “A bit heavy though…better for a heavy warrior type Adventurer.”

“We’ll watch your back, Lili.” Bell smiled at his girlfriend as she got to work. It was nice to finally be able to take a breather. The Dungeon had been pretty active today, at least on the Eleventh Floor. They’d hunted and hunted before even getting their first break this morning. Lili had barely finished harvesting the materials and Magic Stones before another group of Monsters had shown up. It had been a cycle of waves of Monsters followed by short breaks all day so far.

The plus side of such a busy day was the increase in the number of Magic Stones, Drop Items, and Monster Parts they were getting. Not to mention the rise in stats they should all get from so much fighting. If the pace kept up like this, Lili’s bag would surely get full earlier than normal though. He still had his own backpack too…but it might be better to just call it quits early today if they ran out of space to carry their spoils.

-Guild Exchange ~ Afternoon-

“Your Magic Stones are worth 112,683 Valis. Your Orc Hide, Orc Tusks, Imp Tails, and Silverback Fur total up to 73,427 Valis. Your total exchange today is 186,110 Valis. Please, have a nice day.” The man behind the window nodded to the three-man Party.

“Well, a busy day does mean more cash.” Welf chuckled as Bell carried the large sack of Valis over to an unoccupied table to start dividing it up.

“Lili is looking forward to selling all of these Hard Armored Scales too.” Lili had a gleam in her eyes as she hefted her large pack and the distinct sound of the large scales rattling against each other was heard. She would’ve liked to have gotten more, but her Harvester Skill only increased the chance to get Monster Parts and Drop Items, it didn’t guarantee it. There were still almost sixty of the scales in her pack though! ‘They should provide another nice amount of Valis after a bit of haggling.’ Lili thought to herself with a devious little smile.

“Alright…62,037 Valis for Welf.” Bell counted out the coins before pushing them over to Welf with a smile.

“Thanks, Bell.” Welf grinned as he put the coins in a smaller sack that he’d been carrying with him. “Might just treat myself tonight.” He could have a damn nice meal with some good drinks and still have a ton left to save afterwards.

“Same time tomorrow?” Bell wanted to make sure Welf was available.

“Sure thing, we’ll meet up in front of Babel.” Welf agreed and waved to Lili and Bell before heading out.

“You two had a rather profitable day.” Eina giggled as she sat down on the couch opposite of Lili and Bell. “You’re making some of our material salesmen rather happy with how many Monster Parts you’re bringing in lately.”

“They could always pay us a little more to show their gratitude.” Lili remarked with a grin.

“I’m afraid that’s unlikely, Lili.” Eina shook her head, barely holding back her beautiful laughter.

“It was a busy day in the Dungeon.” Bell smiled warmly at Eina. “The Eleventh Floor was filled with Monsters it seemed.”

“One moment,” Eina was back in ‘work mode’ in short order, adjusting her glasses and laying out a blank report form. “Let’s start at the beginning. You said the Eleventh Floor was oddly active today?” Her pen was poised to write down every bit of information that Bell and Lili possessed. Any anomalous Dungeon activity needed to be reported so that the Guild could determine what to do, if anything.

“It seemed that way.” Bell nodded to Eina, Lili nodding her own agreement as well.

“It was almost like the few times that Lili had been down to the Twelfth Floor.” Lili told Eina from her years of experience as a Supporter. “But Lili had heard that the Twelfth Floor is only supposed to get like that when too many Parties pass through on the way to the Middle Levels without spreading out to trim down the number of Monsters.”

“Possible…over production…of Monsters…” Eina spoke lowly as she wrote down the new information. “I’m not sure if that’s a sign of anything, but I’ll make sure this report is seen by the higher-ups as soon as we’re done.” The Half-Elf nodded to the both of them.

-Hestia Familia Home ~ Evening-

“Hmm, you two sure were busy today.” Hestia mentioned while sitting on Bell’s waist as she updated his Status.

“It was Monster after Monster alright.” Bell agreed with the day that their party had.

“Alright, and you’re done, Bell.” Hestia smiled as she copied over his update to a blank paper.

“Let’s see…” Bell smiled at Hestia as he took the paper and looked it over.

“Good growth after all of those Monsters. Not as much as I expected though.” Bell mentioned after looking over his new Status. It had been a very busy day in the Dungeon.

“You’re Level Two now, Bell. It’s going to take more Excelia to grow your Basic Abilities from now on.” Hestia reminded him with a gentle smile.

“Eina won’t approve of our party going into the Middle Levels until we clear Floor Twelve, and then only if my stats are high enough.” Bell chuckled, remembering Eina’s stipulations. She worried about him, and Bell couldn’t say he disliked that about his girlfriend. They were also deciding on their next date during his reports, so they occasionally took longer as the two got sidetracked.

“That’s probably for the best.” Hestia leaned against Bell’s bare back and hugged him. “There’s no need to rush. I want you both coming back home safely more than anything.”

“Love you, Hestia.” Bell turned to place a soft kiss on her lips.

“Love you, Hestia.” Lili echoed with a giggle.

“Hehehe…” Hestia playfully stuck her tongue out at the love from her Familia. Her joy practically lit up the room by itself. “Your turn, Lili.” Hestia patted the spot that Bell had just vacated.

“Lili has been working hard, so she hopes to see a good increase.” Lili removed her shirt without a care and sat with her back facing Hestia.

“We’ll see in just a moment.” Hestia smiled as she let a single drop of her blood fall on Lili’s back. The light-blue glow appeared as it always did and Hestia began to watch Lili’s Excelia. “You’re getting very good at fighting at range, Lili.” Hestia praised as she saw Lili skillfully using her bowgun to take down Monsters on the Eleventh Floor. She moved the Excelia into Lili’s Falna and watched as the number s increased on her Basic Abilities.

“Thank you, Hestia.” Lili enjoyed the praise. Her physical power may not be the highest (as a Prum that wasn’t surprising) but she could make up for it with weapons and tactics.

“Just about…and done.” Hestia nodded before placing a blank paper onto Lili’s back and copying over the newly updated Status. “You’re improving quite well, Lili.”

-Status-

“Lili is glad.” Lili smiled at her improvement while slipping her shirt back on. Training with Bell and actively hunting Monsters with the Party on the Eleventh Floor was really helping her stats grow.

“Your idea to use your Magic to turn into a Chienthrope while we traverse the Dungeon is really working out, Lili.” Bell smiled when he saw that Lili’s Magic stat had hit the D Rank.

“Constant use makes the stat grow, and the sensory increase is useful for keeping track of what’s going on around us when we’re traveling or fighting.” Lili grinned, happy that her idea was working so well to grow her Magic stat.

A knock on the door caught everyone’s attention. When it was opened, they all knew who it was before even seeing the person.

“Eina!” Hestia smiled warmly at the Half-Elf. She’d been the one to give Eina permission to enter their home after knocking. As one of Bell’s girlfriends, Eina was family, and therefore she had free access to the home.

“Good evening, Hestia.” Eina smiled brightly at the Goddess. “Something smells good, as always.” She complimented after shutting the door behind her.

“We’re having stew tonight.” Hestia informed with a proud little smile. “It’ll be done in just a bit.” Simmering the stew for the appropriate time was necessary to get the absolute best flavor after all.

“I’m already looking forward to it.” Eina joined the three of them on the couches, Bell gently wrapping his arm around her waist when she leaned against him. “I wanted to tell you what I discovered after turning in your report.”

“About the number of Monsters on the Eleventh Floor?” Bell guessed easily.

“Yes,” Eina kissed his cheek with a giggle. “According to my supervisor Rhemer…

-Flashback-

“Unusual activity on the Eleventh Floor?” Rhemer, the Guild Section Leader, and a Chienthrope man, looked over the report that Eina had just written up. “Over production of Monsters?”

“Yes, the Hestia Familia mentioned that they were swarmed for the majority of their time on the Eleventh Floor today.” Eina nodded as she stood before Rhemer’s desk.

“Hestia Familia…your Ideal Rookie…” Rhemer sighed before chuckling slightly. “Rabbit Foot was the one that slayed the Infant Dragon a couple of days ago, right?”

“Yes, sir.” Eina confirmed, she’d been proud of Bell’s accomplishment, and happy that Lili was saved. But that had barely stopped her heart from leaping out of her chest when Bell had reported it.

“This increase in Monsters is a response to the Infant Dragon being slain.” Rhemer informed Eina with the ease of experience. “A Rare Monster like the Infant Dragon is the closest thing the Upper Levels have to a Monster Rex. The Dungeon expends more power to spawn such a Monster and when it’s slain so quickly, the Dungeon responds by trying to flood the area with regular Monsters to eliminate the one responsible.”

“It does?” Eina hadn’t heard that before.

“Yes, the Guild was able to confirm that back when the Kenki was a little girl and killed an Infant Dragon single-handedly shortly after it spawned.” Rhemer sighed at recalling that incident. So many Adventurers had come back injured from the Eleventh Floor over the next two days from the mass of Monsters that the Dungeon had spawned. “Thankfully, it settles down after a day or so. What Mr. Cranel’s Party did today definitely helped to quell the mass of Monsters being spawned. We shouldn’t have tons of injuries pouring in from the Dungeon at the very least.”

“That’s good to hear.” Eina smiled slightly. It was always better when they didn’t have Adventurers being dragged in half dead from the Dungeon.

“Only the Monster Rexes have set respawn times, so we can’t get complacent, Eina.” Rhemer gave her a serious look. “While the Infant Dragon is the closest thing to a Monster Rex that the Upper Floors can produce, it isn’t a true Monster Rex. One can be spawned the very next day on Floor Eleven or Floor Twelve.”

“So soon?” Eina couldn’t keep the shocked curiosity out of her voice. “Even though it’s a Rare Monster?”

“Depending on the species of Monster, a Rare Monster always has something like a half-percent to a one-percent chance of spawning any given day.” Rhemer informed Eina with a nod. “With such low odds, most Rare Monsters aren’t seen but once every few weeks or sometimes months. But the chance of two being spawned close together is never zero.”

“Hah…” Eina exhaled heavily. “Knowing Bell’s luck he’ll end up having another Infant Dragon spawn practically right on top of him.”

-End Flashback-

“Hey…” Bell playfully narrowed his eyes at Eina, pulling her close in the process.

“What? It’s true.” Eina giggled before leaning forward to kiss Bell.

“My Luck Developmental Ability should improve my luck, right?” Bell leaned his forehead gently against Eina’s. “Wouldn’t a Rare Monster like the Infant Dragon be considered bad luck? I should be fine.”

“I mean…the Infant Dragon’s parts were a nice windfall for the Familia…” Lili spoke up with a teasing grin.

“That’s true.” Hestia now looked slightly concerned. Sure, slapping down two-million Valis onto Hephaestus’s desk had been an empowering moment; given that it was a full percent of their debt paid off in one shot, how could it not be? But now the chances of Bell having to fight another Infant Dragon…or more…seemed plausible with his Luck ability.

“Can we not encourage more encounters with Dragon Type Monsters, please?” Bell looked between his three girlfriends with a deadpan expression. He’d taken down the first one by making his Argonaut Skill work…but that didn’t mean he wanted to fight another one. Dragon Monsters were usually some of the most powerful that the Dungeon could produce. They weren’t the ones that most Adventurers were eager to try and hunt!

“I know something that’ll take your mind off of it, Bell.” Eina smiled lovingly at him before capturing his lips again. The kiss quickly deepened and Bell pulled Eina into his lap. The Half-Elf eagerly straddled her boyfriend as their tongues began to play.

“Right before dinner?” Hestia jokingly pouted at the two of them.

“More for us then.” Lili teased the two, and nearly cracked up when she saw that they apparently hadn’t heard her.

“Mmm~” Eina moaned into Bell’s mouth as his hands began to play with her butt.

“I’d say not on the couch…but then I’d be a hypocrite.” Hestia giggled as she watched Bell and Eina make out.

“You would, but Lili wouldn’t.” Lili mentioned, debating on whether or not to take her shirt off again and get a turn with Bell before dinner.

“If the stew wasn’t so close to being done, then I could take care of you for a bit.” Hestia wiggled her eyebrows at Lili.

“Hestia!” Lili’s cheeks flamed red and she sputtered a bit.

“I didn’t hear a ‘no’ in there…” Hestia laughed beautifully as she made her way towards the kitchen.

“Because Lili didn’t say ‘no’, Hestia.” Lili mumbled under her breath, watching Hestia booty before it disappeared into the kitchen. She hadn’t really considered it before…but back when she was in Soma Familia, she never thought of any kind of romantic relationship at all. ‘It’s not like trying it once would hurt or anything.’ Lili mused before a slightly louder moan snapped her out of her thoughts. “Wow…you two are really into it tonight.”

She was surprised that she’d missed the moment when Eina had pulled off her shirt. The Half-Elf now only in her bra and pants as Bell’s hands ran over her body. Bell had already been shirtless, so Eina had been lovingly running her hands over his muscled chest the whole time.

“Dinner is ready!” Hestia announced from the door to the dining room.

“Haaah…” Eina pulled away from Bell’s lips with hazy eyes. “Hestia,” The Half-Elf turned to look at the Goddess with a happy smile. “Can I stay the night?”

“You don’t have to ask, Eina.” Hestia reminded with a giggle. It seemed tonight would be a cuddle pile. “But dinner first.”

“Yes…” Eina stood up and took a second to find her shirt.

“Beautiful.” Bell sighed happily as he looked at his lovers. All three noticed his gaze and blushed lightly, happiness spreading throughout the home as love overflowed from the residents within.

“Come on, Bell.” Hestia laughed walking over to the couch and pulling Bell towards the dining room with a beaming smile.

“You don’t really need your shirt for dinner.” Lili took hold of his other hand, helping Hestia guide him towards the table.

“Eye candy before and during dinner.” Eina joked, a sweet giggle escaping her lips.

Truly there was no place that was ‘home’ as much as Hestia Familia’s Home. The Goddess’s Domains swelled within her as the four of them sat around the table to eat together.

Kokutogenishiki can even channel Firebolt to the blade for fiery spear attacks! Woohoo! Bell is living his dreams! Kek!

The Party continues to refine their teamwork in preparation for going down to the Twelfth Floor! After that it’ll be time for the Middle Levels!

Lili is growing so much better than Canon! She is Da Bean! Screw Omori for calling her ‘useless’ or ‘talentless’ or whatever he said!

The Hestia Familia, and Welf, made a nice tidy sum of Valis too! Lili still has around sixty Hard Armored Scales to sell to the Hephaestus Familia too!

LET THE HAGGLING WAR BEGIN AGAIN!!! Lol

Will Bell’s Luck ability actually make him MORE likely to encounter Rare Monsters? Even if he doesn’t really want to see them?

Keep reading to find out!

Let me know what you think with a review!

Until next time, later!
