“Wow…”

Looking at the boy’s back, Hestia couldn’t help but marvel at how much Bell’s ability scores had shot up.

It was the evening of the Xenos rescue mission, and all the members of Hestia Familia were gathered at the mansion to have their status updated before heading out to Daedalus Street.

“I guess the hunters gave you a tough time, Bell?”

“Er…you could say that, yeah…”

Hestia looked down at the Koine copy she had made of Bell’s status, and the boy quickly pulled on his shirt. Bell’s last status update was a week ago, shortly after the city turned on him. Bell had faced a gauntlet of trials since then, including the hunt for the Xenos, the battle with Dix and his hunters, and not least of all, chasing after the rampaging Wiene. It had been a long time since any of them had been given a chance to breathe.

Still not enough for a level-up, of course…

As level increased, the amount of excelia required to advance shot up as well. Hestia was well aware of that, but she had half-hoped that Bell’s recent exploits were enough to do it. Unfortunately, it was not to be.

“I’m sorry, Bell,” she sighed, slumping in her armchair. “It looks like it’s all in your hands after all.”

“It’s fine, Goddess,” said Bell with a smile. “I’ll do everything I can. It’ll all turn out okay…I hope.”

Normally, Bell’s rapid growth was bewildering and a little scary, but right now, it was a source of hope and strength. But Loki Familia was Bell’s toughest foe yet. Would it be enough?

Bell picked up his update sheet and returned to the living room to rejoin his friends. After a while, Hestia got to her feet as well.

“…I complain when he grows too fast. I complain when he grows too slow. Guess he can’t win, can he? …Right, I suppose I’d better pitch in, too!”

What the goddess didn’t yet know was that Bell’s status would shoot off the charts in just one night.
