THE WHITE RABBIT’S LOYALTY
It should be quite apparent by now, but Bell respected his goddess a great deal. If Hestia mentioned she wanted this or that, Bell would immediately rush out and get it. If she mentioned the finances were looking a little tight, he would immediately head into the Dungeon to earn some money. Although she never ordered him to, Bell always went above and beyond to serve his deity.
And so he always listened to what Hestia had to say, even if her requests got a little ridiculous.
“B-Bell? This is hard to admit, but the truth is…I can’t sleep without a body pillow!”
“A…a body pillow?”
“Yes. I had one up in heaven, and it was paradise! I’ve been making do down here, but I can’t take it any longer! I need something to hug! Something soft and warm and about human-sized…”
Hestia blushed a little as she spoke—or perhaps rambled was a better word. Bell stopped to consider her request. The familia’s financial situation was a little more manageable lately thanks to Bell’s recent level-up, so perhaps they could afford to splurge on themselves a little.
It had clearly taken the goddess a lot of courage to speak up about this, and Bell wanted nothing more than to make her happy, despite the odd request.
Hestia peered into Bell’s eyes expectantly, and the last thing Bell wanted to do was let her down. If she wanted it, he would move heaven and earth to make it happen.
And so Bell steeled his nerves and decided to help however he could.
“Would you mind explaining how this happened, Lady Hestia?”
“………”
In the pitch-black darkness of the bedroom, a young voice spoke up. It was Lilly, sounding more than a little displeased to be sharing a bed with the goddess. She had transformed herself using magic into a very huggable human, exactly as Hestia had requested.
It was Bell who had begged and convinced her to do it after coming to her late at night and getting on his knees. As for the young boy, he was on his usual sofa, sound asleep.
Hestia and Lilly lay side by side, staring up at the ceiling in silence.
“You idiot, Bell…”
The next morning, Bell awoke with a scream upon discovering the two girls lying next to him on the sofa.
