Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

The two self-proclaimed queens, each gazing into the other's eyes, sparked a fierce confrontation.

"Let's end this boring game of power here." Ciel interrupted the two goddesses, ignored Hera, and turned to leave.

"The purpose of this visit is solely related to 'Swiftwind.' Since you've already agreed to the plan, there's nothing more for me to do. You may leave."

Charles had no interest in the two willful women bickering and left directly.

Hera put on a mask, concealing her figure as she caught up: "What, did my appearance disrupt your plans?"

Charles stared ahead and said coldly, "A little. But it's not a bad thing. Considering you can temporarily take over the peripheral members of 'Noname' for me, it's not bad news."

"Tsk, not cute at all, Belle is much more interesting."

Ciel slowed his pace slightly and turned his head curiously: "You've met Bell?"

"Is it strange?" Hera's calm voice came from the air. After a pause of one second, Hera chuckled and said, "I even brought him to Orario."

"Cough cough—" Ciel's calm expression crumbled.

"What do you say?"

"I brought Bell to Orario," Hera repeated casually.

A massive amount of information flooded into Charles's mind, and in an instant, he thought of many changes that Bell's appearance in the city might bring.

First up is Freya...

If she finds out that Bell has appeared in Orario, at the very least, a war game will break out, or she will fight Alfia.

Another issue is the matter of family members...

Given Hera's personality...

"You didn't recruit Bell into your familia, did you?" Ciel asked.

"No, not at all. We're almost at the school district, aren't we? I'm planning to send him to school. The village is too remote; it's not suitable for a child to grow up in."

Hera seemed to be more conservative than Zeus, adhering to traditional education.

It's not like Ciel, where someone forcibly carves out a life trajectory for another person, creating a hero through such a process.

“Going to the school district is fine too…” Charles calmed himself down and nodded.

Judging from the trajectory of Bell's future development, his own 'quality' is not high.

They possess high stats that surpass the power panel and incredibly powerful burst abilities, but lack the corresponding 'techniques' to unleash their full potential.

His understanding of the world was also very shallow. All the knowledge required to become an adventurer was barely passed thanks to Eina's hellish "tutoring".

If Belle could study systematically in the school district for a few years and then inherit Belle's ability panel, she would probably become even stronger.

but……

“You only need to consider Bell’s development, while I have a lot more to think about.” Charles rolled his eyes and muttered to himself as he walked through the magnificent doorway to greet Seele, who was waiting outside.

"Well? Did Lady Freya offer to take you into her familia?" Seele's face was full of anticipation.

“Sorry, no. But she has agreed to help me save Gale.” Charles smiled.

only……

"Do you really want me to join Freya's Familia? I thought Seele-nee respected Lady Freya quite a bit, but I didn't expect..."

Charles recalled his previous leaders and silently mourned.

However, reminded by Seele, Ciel realized that he might need to find a new older brother...

He felt uneasy without his older brother.

Chapter 468 Bell and His Brothers

"No, how could there not be?" Seele's face was full of confusion.

She didn't know why.

Even though I had already discussed it with Lady Freya, I was unable to keep my promise.

"Maybe she doesn't like me," Charles casually replied.

"No, that's not right. You wouldn't have been disrespectful to Lady Freya, would you?" Seele looked at Charles suspiciously.

Given Freya's appearance, and Ciel being a hot-blooded young man, could he have done something impolite that would offend Freya?

Ciel recalled their conversation. It was indeed rude of him, and he almost killed Freya, but it was Freya who had seduced him first.

"No, absolutely not! How could I dare to offend Lady Freya?" Ciel explained, glancing at Hera hiding beside him. Perhaps she deliberately showed herself to protect him in a crucial moment?

Seele said, "Don't move around here. I'll go ask Lady Freya."

Then, he left directly.

As he watched Seele's figure disappear, Charles turned and walked towards the Magic Staircase. After entering the first level, the Magic Staircase slowly descended and quickly left the Tower of Babel.

"Aren't you going to wait for her? She's still your sister, after all."

“Our plan isn’t suitable for her involvement,” Charles said, pulling up his grey hood and lowering his voice to ask, “More importantly, where did you hide Bell?”

“He’s finally come to a big city, so of course we should let him explore on his own,” Hera said matter-of-factly.

Ciel cursed and said speechlessly, "Go find him quickly. Although he is still young, everyone in the city knows about his Jester appearance. It's inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will target him."

Ciel was referring to Freya, of course.

……

the other side.

Bell, who had been casually led into Orario by Hera, stared wide-eyed, looking around at the scenery along the way, like a country bumpkin visiting the city.

He first visited Orario's most famous 'First Cemetery' as his first stop, and then followed the map to find the 'Hero's Bridge'.

The tombstones and the statues of heroes and fairies carved on both sides of the bridge had a huge impact on Bell.

"These are the heroes who protect the world!? So cool! But also so sad."

The cemetery and the Bridge of Heroes present two completely different states of heroism: one etched in history, the other unknown.

Until he saw the 'memorial' erected in Central Park.

"This is... a building I've never seen before!"

puff-

Just as Bell opened his mouth wide and looked up at the names and names of his family members carved on the memorial stone, a thin jet of water shot out from the fountains and ponds along the way and landed right in Bell's mouth.

"Hehehe... that was... a great struggle, a sacrifice, for everyone." Marie flicked her fishtail, her little fists clenched in the water, squeezing out small streams of water that hit the dazed Belle on the face.

"A fairy...a fairy spirit?!" Bell was stunned.

Emerald hair, simple clothes made of only seashells, and a dazzling fishtail that reflects the seven colors of the sun all greatly stimulated young Bell.

"It's Lady Marie!"

"Damn it, lucky brat, he actually received Lady Marie's blessing!"

"I want to get splashed with water by Lady Mary too~~~"

The surrounding residents cheered and gathered around, as if waiting for something.

After teasing Belle, Marie swam to the center of the fountain, swaying her fishtail, closed her eyes, and began to sing a hymn softly.

Bell was instantly captivated; the fishman's song had deeply drawn him in.

Through the song, he seemed to hear the heroic figures fighting bravely in the great struggle.

"Wow! There are even fishmen performing! No wonder this is a metropolis!" Bell couldn't help but exclaim.

"Tch, just a mere monster. I don't know why it's so popular in Orario?" Another voice came from beside Bell.

Looking to the side, there was a red-haired boy carrying a bundle on his back and a hammer at his waist, with a red-haired, one-eyed goddess standing elegantly beside him.

The goddess rubbed the red-haired boy's eyes and explained, "Mari-chan saved countless people with her own blood and strength during the Great Struggle. She's so popular because of her own hard work."

"How could a monster save people?" The red-haired boy blushed and pouted.

Bell clenched his fist, his eyes shining: "That's not a monster, it's a fairy! Only fairies would be so kind! Monsters only take away what's important to us!"

"Look, even a child knows this principle," the red-haired goddess laughed.

"Hmph, only children would believe such nonsense."

Bell didn't refute the red-haired boy's words and left directly.

He strolled along the street, and when he reached the Arcadia Mall on West Street, he stopped in front of a shop filled with equipment resembling that of ancient heroes.

He was pressed against the glass window, his small face pressed tightly against it, his features distorted.

Inside the shop window, Argo's armor was on display: a black scarf, and light black and white armor; as well as costumes of other famous heroes such as the Knights of Finana and Crozo.

“Siguni-1…” Belmu exclaimed involuntarily.

"Hmph, all show and no substance. The blacksmith who forged these items has lost his spirit. The things he created have no soul, they are worthless wrecks corrupted by money, a disgrace to blacksmiths."

Derogatory remarks once again fell around Bale.

He turned around in surprise and was astonished to find that it was the red-haired boy he had met by the hot spring.

"Ah... the guy by the fountain."

The red-haired boy glanced sideways and snorted coldly: "Who's your big brother? My name is Welf, and I'm the man who will become the God of Crafts."

"What a coincidence." Bell was about to introduce himself when a cold laugh came from inside the shop, interrupting their conversation.

"Hmph, you really dare to say that, belittling my products in front of the shop owner. I can't pretend I didn't hear it." Lily stood at the door with her hands on her hips, looking arrogant.

"Come in and take a look. Our products are made using 'ancient techniques' and are the closest imitations to the genuine articles. They are not the worthless scrap metal you mentioned."

Turning around, the angry expression on Lily's face vanished instantly, replaced by a shrewd smile.

She rubbed her hands together, her eyes turning into the shape of Fari, and chuckled.

Two teenagers who are clearly from out of town can definitely make them bleed!

……

When Ciel and Hera found Bell, the two boys were standing outside the shop looking bewildered, clutching a loan contract worth 500 million falies. They were also wearing Argo's miniature outfit and Crozzo's tuxedo.
