Chapter Text

The world of Orario, a place where adventurers explore a massive dungeon, gods bless humans, and monsters cause destruction in the lower floors. The mana was in the air as various adventurers went in a trip through the dungeon, normally they travel in groups to make things easier for themselves

But one person didn't

"HIEEEEEEE!"

A boy with white hair and red eyes rolled through the floor as he dodged the attack of a Minotaur, the creature trying to hit him with his fists

"This isn't anything like I thought! I shouldn't have gotten so hasty!"

The boy thought while dodging another hit, ending up tripping and rolling through a small cave in the dungeon, tumbling down through the steep floor

"WAAAAAAAAH!"

The boy yelled while the Minotaur roared, the two now being separated for a small time.

The boy fell down on his back, rolling on the ground a little more before hitting his back on something

"Ouch…" the boy grunted as he rubbed the back of his head

He crawled on the floor to get away from that statue, getting up and turning around to see what he had hit, seeing a statue of a large boat on top of a pillar

"Huh?"

Confused, the boy looked down, seeing a weird symbol on the floor, getting curious, he knelt down to touch it, feeling it to see if there was something weird about it, but it felt just like a drawing on the floor

"I wonder who made this…" the boy said to himself, not really understanding the reason for this to be here

"URRROAAAAAR!"

"HIII!"

The boy remembered that the Minotaur was still coming after him, turning around and quickly moving back, accidentally hitting the boat statue again, making it fall on the ground, right on the symbol

"I-I can't run away from here… I'm stuck! And that thing is coming!" The boy widened his eyes, realizing that this was a deadend, he closed his eyes and did the only thing he could "S-someone please help me!"

And with that plea, the drawing under his feet began to glow blue, making him open his eyes in shock, feeling some kind of power rising from the floor, before a big smokescreen was raised, making him raise his arms to protect himself from whatever was there

"W-what's going on!?" The boy yelled as the smoke went down

He put his arms down, now sitting down on the floor as he looked up, seeing a figure standing in front of him. A blonde man with green eyes, golden and black armor around his upper body, white pants and golden boots covering his lower body. The mysterious man turned to Bell, looking down at him before raising his arm with the open palm pointed to the ceiling

"I am a Saber servant. I ask you, are you my Master?" the man asked the boy who looked up at him in awe and shock

"W-wha-!?" The boy blinked in confusion

"Oh great, I ended up with an inexperienced one…" the man thought to himself before letting out a sigh, putting his raised hand on his forehead "Are you the one who activated this summoning circle?"

"I-I…" the boy looked down in confusion, now understanding what that was "I guess…?"

"Then you are my master. You may call me Saber, I am your servant who will help you in this war." The man, now named Saber, said, crossing his arms with a smirk on his face

"He exhales the aura of a hero… Saber huh…" the boy said, looking to the hip of Saber, seeing a sheathed sword there, assuming this man was a warrior who came to help him the boy got up "I-Its a pleasure, Mister Saber! My name is Bell Cranel!"

"Bell Cranel, not the noble name I expected of my Master but I'm not the one who chooses it." Saber shrugged after hearing the boy presenting himself

"But your name is just the name of a weapon…" Bell thought while he gave the blonde a deadpan look

"Now, care to show me how to get out of here?"

"Eh? You don't know how to leave the dungeon?" Bell asked surprised

"The dungeon? The dungeon…" Saber said to himself, as if he was thinking about something, tapping his foot

"Does he not even know where he is!? Well, I apparently summoned him here so he was probably in the middle of something… Also, what did he mean with Master and Servant?" Bell thought confused

"Ah yes, the dungeon, right." Saber snapped his fingers, as if just now realizing what this place was "This is a lot of information to take from the Grail…"

"Grail?"

"I'll explain later. First we should leave this place and go to safety. Now come, let us leave." Saber signaled with his arm for Bell to come with him as he turned around to leave the cave "Guide the way."

"R-right! But, who exactly are you, Mister Saber?" Bell asked as he ran up to the blonde

"Well, I suppose you could say… I'm an Argonaut!" Saber said, pointing at himself

"A-Argonaut!? Like the legendary heroes from stories!?" Bell asked in awe, his eyes shining like stars

"It seems my legends are known by you, of course! I am the great captain of the Argonauts! A great ship of the greatest heroes of the land!" Saber boasted

"W-wow, you must be from an amazing Familia to be known like that…" Bell said with a sigh

That made Saber blink, turning to Bell and staring at him like he said something absurd

"I'm not a part of a Familia, what?" Saber asked confused

"What!? You're not! But with what you said-"

"The Argonauts are my own crew, not one of some god." Saber stated

"T-then… Could you join my Familia?" Bell asked excited

"Eh!?"

"Please! You sound so amazing and we are such a small Familia, I'm sure my Goddess would accept you if you tell your tale!" Bell begged Saber

Saber let out a smirk after having his greatness recognized, he is starting to like this kid

"Well, I'll think about it, I suppose since you are my Master I can be an honorary member of your Goddess Familia… Wait, is your Goddess Aphrodite?" Saber asked in a serious tone

"No…"

"Alright, then maybe I'll join."

"That's great!"

The two made their way through the entrance of this cave, climbing the steep surface of the floor, managing to return to the larger part of that Dungeon floor

"W-wait, where is it!?" Bell widened his eyes, looking around in shock

"Huh? Where's who?" Saber asked

"There was something coming after me before, that's how I ended up in the cave!" Bell explained, still trying to find the monster

"Well, maybe it felt my presence and decided to run away-" Saber began before something fell down behind him, cracking the floor under it

Bell's eyes widened even more while Saber slowly turned around to look at the monster that just dropped, gaping in shock

"A Minotaur!?" Saber yelled

"T-This is horrible! B-But I have Mister Saber now! Yeah, he is a legendary hero! An Argonaut who is the captain of various other heroes! I'm sure together we will be able to beat this-" Bell thought, thinking there was hope for him

"GROAAAAAAAAAAR!"

"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Before that hope was shattered by Saber turning around and running away, grabbing Bell's arm to drag him away from that demonic creature

"Eh?" Bell was still processing what just happened

"DON'T "eh?" ME! ARE YOU DUMB, MASTER!? RUN!" Saber screamed, pulling Bell forward harder to make him run on his own

"Aren't you a legendary hero!? Can't you fight it!?" Bell yelled as he ran as fast as he could

"I'M A CAPTAIN, NOT A FIGHTER! I'M NOT MADE TO BE IN THE FRONT LINES DAMNIT!" Saber screamed

"GROAAAAAAAAAAR!" The Minotaur charged after them

"HIIIIII!" the two yelled in fear, running even faster

The Minotaur jumped at the two, raising it's fist to slam the two adventurers, the two noticed and quickly jumped to the side, dodging the attack, only for the Minotaur to grin and slam his foot down and dash at them

"Damnit! It was bait!" Saber yelled

"It's going to hit us!" Bell yelled

Saber grit his teeth, quickly grabbing his sword and lifting it up in a defensive stance, blocking the hit from the Minotaur, the attack making him dig his feet on the floor with the ground caving slightly under him

"G-Ghg!" Saber grunted as he held the hit back from the Minotaur

"S-Saber!" Bell widened his eyes

"Damnit Master, making me have to fight! I'll let you know that I won't forgive you for this!" Saber said as he grit his teeth, turning his focus to the Minotaur "You damn beast, one of the Argonauts was one warrior famous for slaying your kind. I may not be him or not be too strong, but I'm still a Servant!"

Saber then let out a scream, pushing the first of the Minotaur back, grabbing the hold of his sword with immense strength and doing a spin, slashing at the beast's arm, actually managing to cut it

"GRAAAR!" The Minotaur yelled in pain, taking a few steps back and glaring at Saber

"Huh? I actually did damage? I mean, hah! Take that vile beast! Didn't expect that, did ya!?" Saber boasted, spinning his sword in his hand

"S-So strong! Not only did he block a hit from the Minotaur he managed to hurt it, and his swordsmanship is good, way better than mine! He may be a little bit of a coward, but he is still a hero-" Bell's thoughts were cut short by Saber being punched in the face by the Minotaur

"WAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Saber flew right past Bell, being slammed against the wall behind him, creating a hole in the shape of his body before falling off it and onto the floor

"Mister Saber!" Bell yelled seeing Saber on the ground

"Uuugh… He caught me off guard…" Saber grunted while on the floor

Bell widened his eyes, even Saber who was so strong was defeated in one hit, he turned back forward and saw the Minotaur standing tall, looking angered now that it was damaged

"I-I can't dodge…" Bell thought, thinking that this was the end

"Master, move!" Saber yelled as he raised himself off the floor

But before the Minotaur could bring his fist down, his arm was cut off, making it widen its eyes and scream in pain, before it was then cut in half, spraying blood on the two before it disappeared in a cloud of black smoke, leaving a big crystal where it once stood

"Ew!" Saber yelled, trying to clean the blood off him

Bell was too stunned to do the same as Saber, his eyes widening in shock as he saw a blonde woman standing in front of them with her back turned. She turned to them, a cold expression on her face and small pieces of armor around her body, if someone said she was carved out of marble by great sculptors it would be believable

"T-that's the Swords Princess… Ais Wallenstein from the Loki Familia!" Bell thought, if his face wasn't covered in blood he would be seen blushing

"Are you okay?" Ais asked while looking at the two

Bell began to shake as the girl looked at them, with Saber getting back up and dusting himself off

"Yes. I thank you for your help miss-" Saber began…

Before Bell let out a panicked yell and ran away screaming, making Saber widen his eyes in shock

"H-Hey! Don't leave me here! Damnit Master!" Saber yelled as he chased after Bell, leaving Ais confused as she stared at the two running off

"...eh?"

—

The Guild. Morning.

A half elf was organizing a few papers behind her desk, humming to herself as she finally had them all in a nice pile

"There we go." the woman smiled to herself

"MISS EINA!" Bell's voice was heard approaching

The half elf girl turned around to see what that was about, only to see the boy covered in blood running into the guild

"Huh!?" Eina widened her eyes in shock "Bell!? What happened!?"

"Eina, what do you know about Ais Wallenstein?" Bell asked excited

"Master! What was that about!? You were going to run off and just leave me in the dungeon!? What's wrong with you!?" A second person covered in blood ran into the guild now "And with me being this dirty, it's undignified for someone like me!"

"A-ah! Right! Sorry Mister Saber!" Bell apologized

Eina stared at the two for a few moments, trying to understand what was happening right now, before she yelled at the two

"Get yourselves clean first!"

—

Eina was now sitting in front of the two clean adventurers, her hands on the table that separated the two as Bell explained the situation that happened in the dungeon with the Minotaur

"A Minotaur!? You could have died! How many times have I told you that adventurers shouldn't go adventuring!?" Eina scolded at Bell, making him lower his head

"I know… I'm sorry…" Bell apologized

"Isn't that contradictory?" Saber thought as he looked at his master and the woman scolding him

"Well, still, I'm glad you are fine at least. And thank you for defending him mister…?" Eina began while looking at the blonde

"Saber will suffice." Saber nodded

"Saber? Like… Like the weapon?" Eina blinked confused

"Oh yes, because I'm the only one here named after an object. Isn't that right, Bell?" Saber turned to look at his master

"That's uncalled for, mister Saber." Bell said

"W-Well, anyways, mister Saber, as Bell's advisor I'm glad you helped him out the best way you could. Are you an adventurer by chance?" Eina asked, pushing her glasses up slightly using two fingers

"Well, in the broad sense of the word, yes. But I assume you mean if I'm registered in the guild, then that's a no." Saber said shook his head

"And yet you were in the dungeon… Alright, are you affiliated with any Familias?" Eina asked right after

"I suppose I'll be in the same one he is." Jason pointed at Bell using his thumb

"Oh, you found a second member for your Familia, that's great Bell! I'm sure Hestia will love to know that!" Eina clapped her hands making Bell smile and rub the back of his head

"Hestia? The goddess of the heart?" Saber perked up

"You know her? I thought she was a rather unknown goddess…" Bell said in surprise

"I'm familiar with some gods, and if she's the head of your Familia maybe I can join." Saber thoughtfully noted "From my knowledge of the gods, Hestia is a rather gentle one, so being on her team with my Master wouldn't be too much of an issue, at least it is not one of the crazier ones."

"Well, if that's the case I think you should join her Familia before being registered in the guild as an adventurer." Eina explained making Saber nod

"I see."

"And about Ais, I'm not allowed to divulge personal information, but I can give you what's public knowledge, like how she's known as the Sword Princess thanks to her immense ability with a blade and how she's one of the fastest adventurers to reach level five." Eina explained

"I was actually wanting to know more about what she likes to eat and do, what her hobbies are…" Bell rubbed the back of his head embarrassed

Eina and Saber looked at Bell for a few moments, causing the boy to look down embarrassed

"Ohoho!" Saber let out a laugh "Are you in love with the Sword Princess?"

"H-Huh!?" Bell widened his eyes and turned to Saber, who had a smirk on his face "T-that's… M-maybe a little…"

"Haha! How cute! Oh, the young and their love." Saber laughed some more… before he then grimaced as he remembered something about young love

"Anyways…" Eina butted in "I don't think trying to get with her is a good idea, after all she's from the Loki Familia. Trying to date someone from different Familias is always a hassle."

The mention of Loki got Saber's attention, and as Eina explained the complications of cross Familia dating the blonde thought to himself how it wasn't only the greek gods that are now living among humans here in the gekai, that would make things more complicated

"Well, just keep that in mind, alright Bell?" Eina gave him a smile "You two can go now, and don't forget to trade in your magic stones for valis."

The two then got up and bid their goodbyes to Eina, the half elf giving them a little wave as they traded in the magic stones and made their way out of the guild

"And Bell." Eina called out for him, making him turn to her for a moment "Women like strong men that can keep them safe, so if you make a name for yourself maybe she will notice you."

Bell smiled at Eina after hearing her, waving at her

"Thank you Miss Eina! I love you!" Bell yelled as he ran off

"E-eh!?"

"Hey, Master! What's with you and running off!?" Saber yelled as he chased Bell

—

Orario. Morning.

Bell and Saber made their way through the streets of the labyrinth city that was Orario, with Saber taking in the scenery as he looked around. He saw various races of humanoids, humans, elfs, amazonessess, beast humans. In the distance Saber saw the gray tower Babel, being a little curious about what was inside of it

"Seeing all of this for myself rather than just being told about it is a big shock…" Saber said, crossing his arms

"Yeah, Babel is very impressive even at a distance, isn't it?" Bell smiled at Saber

"I agree." Saber said, returning his focus to the streets in front of them

"Although, something had been bugging me, mister Saber. What exactly is up with you? You appear out of a summoning circle and start calling me master. I'm not really sure I understand…" Bell said while crossing his arms in confusion

"I'll explain this after we meet with your Goddess, that I assure you." Saber answered with a confident tone "Speaking of that, where exactly do you and your Goddess live?"

"Alright, and we are close." Bell nodded at Saber

"Considering he works for a goddess I should expect something more akin to a mansion. Oh yes, life as a noble, probably expected from someone who has been blessed-" Saber thought before being snapped back to reality

"We're here." Bell said, making Saber look at where they were

His face dropping to a complicated expression, he saw that where he would be staying, and by extension where his master and the goddess he was blessed by were staying, was a run down and broken church, it had pieces of the wall missing, broken windows and not even the door was properly on its hinges anymore

"Yeah, it's not the best but it's what we can have due to our situation…" Bell rubbed the back of his head embarrassed to be showing this to someone like Saber, who wore gold armor and was the captain of great heroes

"Its… Uhm…" Saber tried to find the words that wouldn't offend the master or his goddess right now… he failed and decided to just go in "Let us just go in."

Bell nodded and guided Saber through the run down church, getting to a staircase and walking down to a lower floor Saber started seeing this place was a lot more cozy than the upper part

"Goddess! I'm here!" Bell made his presence known as they both entered the main room

Saber saw a small girl laying on the couch, she was wearing a white dress with some blue bows around it, her hair being stylized in two twin tails using hair ornaments similar to white flower petals, with her lifting her face the blue of her eyes were noticed

"Hestia is a child around here? That's surprising." Saber thought intrigued

Well, that was before Hestia jumped off the couch and ran up to Bell

"Bell! You're back, you took so long!" Hestia yelled, the bounciness of her chest catching Saber off guard, something that big was not proportional for a woman that small

"Okay, not a child, understood!" Jason made a complicated expression at that

"Sorry Goddess, is that I almost died at the dungeon today…" Bell explained himself

"What what!? Really!? Are you okay!? It would be horrible if you actually died!" Hestia widened her eyes, checking for any injuries on Bell "I would be lonely and sad, y'know?"

"I'm fine, mister Saber helped me and I was saved by someone else." Bell said, rubbing the back of his head "Besides, I wouldn't leave my goddess high and dry."

"Well, I'm glad because I need a lot of water!" Hestia said while putting her hands on her hips

"That's an… interesting way to put it." Saber blinked, still with an unsure expression

Hestia turned to the blonde man for a few moments, blinking twice as if she was just now realizing his presence amongst them

"Who are you?" Hestia asked

"You just noticed me now!?" Saber gaped

"Oh yeah, this is Saber. He appeared out of a summoning circle when I ended up falling in a cave in the dungeon and he helped me hold back the Minotaur." Bell said, presenting Saber to his goddess, before he then turned to the blonde and realized how troubled he looked "Uhm… Everything okay, mister Saber?"

"Oh, it's nothing really. Just, having some deja vu about… Nevermind that." Saber dismissed the worries of his master, he for some reason had a bad feeling about busty goddesses… something about islands exploding, he wasn't fully sure "It's a pleasure to meet you, miss goddess."

"Well, I say the same, I'm thankful that you protected my Bell, sir Saber." Hestia said, not fully sure about that name but deciding not to question it for now

"Also, he decided to join our Familia!" Bell told Hestia, making her eyes shine

"Really!?" Hestia asked excited

"Well…" Saber wasn't one hundred percent set on the idea of being a part of the group of a god, especially given the last time he got the blessing from a goddess resulted in someone committing atrocities for him, but she looked so happy about getting a new member, and Bell was also so excited… God, if Atalanta was here she'd chew him up for making children cry "Fine, yes, I'll join your Familia, for now. I think you could use someone of my prowess and brilliance as a captain!"

"Captain?" Hestia blinked

"Oh yeah, he's an Argonaut and the captain of an entire group of heroes!" Bell told Hestia

"Eh!? Now way! A new Familia member and one that's on that level! This is amazing!" Hestia jumped excitedly "I was planning on us eating first, but let's save that as a celebration for getting a new member! And I'll use that opportunity to update your status too Bell! Come along!"

"Yes!"

"Alright."

Both Saber and Bell saw how happy the goddess was, with her jumping and bouncing around, with Bell averting his gaze and blushing while Sabers smiled a little at how excited she was. The other Argonauts would probably like this girl.

—

The two were taken to the bedroom, with Hestia instructing Bell to take his shirt off and lay on the bed, which he complied, and the goddess then got on top of him and pulled out a needle, poking her finger and putting a sheet of paper on his back, tracing her hands around it to update his status, with the two talking about the situation with the Minotaur and Bell's crush on Ais

"W-wow! Your magic stat increased so much! How did that happen!?" Hestia said in shock, making Bell widen his eyes. He had magic!?

"Eh!? Really Goddess?" Bell asked

"Yeah, here take a look!" Hestia said, getting off his back and showing Bell his updated status

Saber came closer too so he could get a look at how strong Bell was

Bell Cranel

Level 1

Strength: I-77 — I-82

Defense: I-13

Utility: I-93 — I-96

Agility: H-148 — H-172

Magic: I-0 — H-150

Magic:

Servant Contract: Command Seal; the symbols in the back of your hand symbolize your connection between you and your servant, you have three uses of them, and with each use you can force your servant to do whatever you want no matter if he agrees or not.

Skills:

"Your defense is low." Saber blurted out

"Well, I do mostly dodge attacks and don't take them directly…" Bell mumbled before he noticed his magic section "Huh!? Command Seal? Since when do I…"

Bell looked at the back of his hand, seeing a red mark of a boat with a sword stabbed right through it with the ocean making a circle around it

"When did you get that? And what's a Servant? Sounds like a type of familiar…" Hestia said, wondering what this was about

"Mister Saber… Do you know anything about this?" Bell asked, which made Saber let out a sigh as he would now need to explain all of this by himself

"Well, it's complicated so the explanation might take a while." Saber trailed off

"We have time. This better not be some kind of curse you out on my Bell!" Hestia growled as she glared at Saber, before a thought came to her mind "Wait… Could you draw for me what exactly the summoning circle you were teleported onto looked like?"

"Uhm…" Saber gulped before he took a glance at Bell, who nodded as if to say that he shouldn't worry

"Well, I think it should be fine, it's going to make explaining this simpler." Saber mumbled, he wasn't stupid enough to enquire the wrath of a god, even if it was a chibi one

Hestia gave him a sheet of paper and a pencil, allowing Saber to doodle the symbol on it and give the paper back to Hestia, who looked at it intrigued

"This is what it looked like." Saber crossed his arms, thankful that the Grail allowed him the knowledge on how to draw the circle

"I see… I've never seen a circle like this…" Hestia mumbled while Bell looked at the drawing and confirmed that it was indeed the same circle

But while they were analysing the drawing, a drop of blood from Hestia's still open wound on her finger fell on the drawing, making Hestia widen her eyes

"Oh shoot! I was so shocked about this I forgot about this wound!" Hestia yelped

But then something shocking happened, the divine blood ended up being absorbed by the drawing, making the three present widen their eyes in shock

"Eh?" The three went, not even Saber knew what was going to happen now

The circle in the drawing began to glow in a clear blue light, making Hestia drop the paper to cover her eyes, and as if dropped on the ground three circles of light began to spin over it before a large pillar of light erupted from the paper, making Bell put himself in front of Hestia to protect her while Saber jumped back to try and hide from whatever this was

From the light a figure was formed, it looked feminine but it was hard to discern it's features amongst the great amount of light. It took a while for the light to finally dissipate and when it did the three could finally look clearly at what had happened

"W-what!?" Saber gaped in shock at what he saw

The paper was now burnt to a crisp and standing above it was a slender woman, her long black hair styled with two ponytails to the sides while it extended down her back, her outfit being only a white chest cover and black thong around her waist, not leaving much to the imagination, one of her arms being covered by a black glove with golden accessories while one of her legs was covered by a blue stocking with gold accessories, her hair having black ornaments that looked similar to a crown. She opened her eyes, revealing the red coloring on them, as she put her hands on her hips

"Servant Archer, the goddess Ishtar has come in response to your summon, be grateful and you best respect me deeply-"

"HUUUUUUUUH!?" The three present yelled in shock

"A DIVINE SPIRIT!? BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SUMMON DURING A HOLY GRAIL WAR!" Saber yelled

"A GODDESS!? ANOTHER GODDESS IS HERE!?" Bell didn't know what to think

"ISHTAR!? HUH!? BUT YOU DON'T! WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Hestia was in shock about this new person in front of her

The, probably, goddess Ishtar looked at the three panicking, trying to figure out what exactly was happening with them

"Geez, you lot are a noisy bunch." Ishtar said as she rubbed the back of her head

And here we are with another fic! Danmachi and Fate are two things I've been wanting to try writting for a while and I had the idea for this Fic since a long while and I finally took the time to try and write it.

So, Jason and Bell! What a pairing for our first Master Servant team! Who do you guys think will be the other masters and servants that will appear?

And about the Hestia and Ishtar pairing, do know that the mortals must follow the rules, but the gods break them for their own reasons. That will most likelly cause problems with the Grail, but hey, that's a problem for future versions of them!

Chapter Text

It took a while for things to calm down after Not Ishtar's appearance, now having everyone sitting on some chairs that were brought to the room while this new person was sitting on the bed

"Okay, are you all done now?" New Ishtar asked while crossing her legs

"Yes…" the three responded

"Good, now we can begin-"

"Wait, why am I being treated lowly like this!?" Hestia protested

"Oh yeah, you're my Master and a Goddess too… I guess I forgot since you started screaming like the humans." New Ishtar shrugged with a smirk

"Hey!"

"Well, anyway! I guess explanations are in order! So, what exactly do you want to know first?" New Ishtar asked

"First, what are you two?" Bell raised his hand to ask like the good boy he is

"Great place to start. Saber, answer him." New Ishtar snapped her fingers

"Eh!? Why did you get all this presentation in front if you're not even the one that's going to explain stuff!?" Saber questioned incredulously

"Are you questioning me?" New Ishtar asked with a glare

"Nope!" Saber shook his head

"Good. Now please explain before I get bored." New Ishtar said while planting her chin on her hand

"So, to try and make a quick explanation of this… Both me and her aren't human." Saber began, making Bell look at him confused

Hestia was also confused by this, the new girl had the divinity of a goddess, yes, but Saber looked just like a human and didn't really have divinity on him

"We are Servants, more akin to what you would call a Spirit which embodies the legends of great figures in history, both future and past." Saber explained to the two

"Spirits!? Was that why you managed to block the Minotaur like that!?" Bell asked

"That is precisely why. Spirits are quite powerful, aren't we?" Saber boasted a little

"Legends of great figures? So even gods!?" Hestia asked in shock pointing at New Ishtar

"In a way. This isn't my real form, I take the image of a human and make it my vessel to be able to appear." New Ishtar explained with a little shrug

"Oh, that explains why you're so…" Hestia began but stopped when she saw New Ishtar's glaring at her

"So what?" New Ishtar asked innocently

"I was going to say young looking…" Hestia came up with a different end to her sentence

"Sure you were." New Ishtar decided to accept that "At least I'm not a loli big boobs."

"Even you know about that!?" Hestia yelled in shock

"Goddess, please don't argue with… other Goddess…" Bell realized how confusing this would be

"Let's continue before those two explode the church." Saber urged "Next question?"

"Ah yes, why are you two here? And also what's with calling us Master?" Bell asked the next question

"Ah yes, that." Saber thought about for a moment, trying to find the information for this time in his mind "Alright, got it. Sit down because this will be a long explanation."

"I'm already sitting down though…"

"Way of saying, rabbit." New Ishtar deadpanned

"To explain this in simple terms, we are connected to the one who summoned us by those command seals, they are the ones who can force us to do whatever they want and the ones who give us magic to continue existing and fighting for them." Saber explained in a simple way so Bell and Hestia wouldn't have a problem understanding it

"So that's why Bell's magic stat increased so much and that weird spell appeared on his sheet, you simply being around evolves his magic." Hestia said snapping her fingers in realization

"And it's the same between me and you, Master. Although, with you I can feel a nearly bottomless amount of magic. Must be the fact that you're a goddess, so good thing I was the one that got you." New Ishtar looked rather smug

"So, you two have to follow whatever we say?" Bell asked

The two servants looked at him for a moment before they then bursted out laughing, making Bell blush and look at the two confused

"D-did I say something wrong?" Bell asked

"Hahaha! Master, are you saying that you'd be ordering me around?" Saber laughed some more before sighing "Yeah, not happening. As I told you, I'm a captain first, fighter… around fifth."

"Fifth!?"

"So don't think you can order me around to fight in the front lines like any other Servant. You look like a novice warrior, so I'll train you to be a great one that will thrive under the support of an amazing captain, such as myself!" Saber exclaimed, making New Ishtar chuckle

"Be careful, rabbit. Training from this one might count as negative experience." The goddess of love chuckled some more

"Oi!" Saber yelled offended

"Quit calling my Bell rabbit!" Hestia demanded

"Would bunny boy be better?"

"That's way worse!"

"C-can mister Saber continue with the explanation?" Bell asked before the two goddesses lost themselves in shenanigans

"Oh right!" Saber remembered that he was explaining stuff "So your magic is keeping us in this world, and the more we go all out, the more magic we draw out from you, so that's a second reason for you to get stronger."

"I don't have that problem." New Ishtar smirked

"Lucky…" Saber grumbled

"I see… So how strong you can be also depends on the master you have." Bell mumbled, was that why Saber got sent flying by a punch of that Minotaur?

"And now for the other part of the question, the reason why we're here…" Saber took a deep breath, this was the part he was dreading having to explain "We were summoned by a holy artifact that can grant wishes, named the Holy Grail, to come fight in a war to be able to get said wish."

Bell and Hestia had to take a moment to take that all in, their minds slowly processing what was said to them before their eyes widened

"A war!?" Hestia yelled "My Bell and I are involved in a war!?"

"Not any war, a Great Holy Grail War!" New Ishtar snapped her fingers "It's different from a normal Holy Grail War."

"H-How so?" Bell asked, still shaken up by the fact that he got caught up on something like this by accident

"A normal Holy Grail War consists of seven servants and seven masters that fight each other until only one remains, to which this one gets the Holy Grail and the wish. The servants are each of a specific class, Saber, that's me, people more famous for their swordsmanship or have legendary swords." Saber signaled to himself "Archer."

"That's the one I'm in." New Ishtar pointed at herself "The bowmen, people who are archers, or basically use any projectile to fight. But I do have my bow here."

"Lancer, the ones known for using spears and are usually quite fast. Rider, famous for riding some specific mount. Caster, magicians specialized in the mystical arts. Assassin, great assassins or criminals. And Berserker, the ones who had gone mad sometime in their life." Saber explained while crossing his arms

"I understand. But what are the differences between that and a Great war?" Hestia asked the real question

"The main difference is that instead of being only seven, it's fourteen divided between two factions who fight each other for the Grail, with an extra servant being of the Ruler class, which acts as a mediator for the war." Saber lifted two fingers

"Your Saber here is from the White Faction, since, y'know, the boy's hair is white." New Ishtar pointed at Bell "But, instead of this one having a Ruler, since my Master accidentally messed with the summoning circle, her divinity scrambled the Grail a little and now, you'll have divine servants as your mediators! If you entertain me enough I may favor you a little, just so you know."

"Huh!? That's how it works!?" Saber asked in shock

"That's what I was informed by the Grail, yes." New Ishtar glanced at Saber "And before you ask, no, I don't know how many of us there'll be, it'll really depend on how many Familias will get Servants. I hope it isn't many, having a third faction of only divine servants will be such a pain to deal with."

"So, you're only a mediator, goddess?" Bell asked

"That's right, rabbit." New Ishtar said, making Hestia fume at the cute nickname she gave her Bell "That means that I won't interfere unless absolutely necessary."

"So you're a useless goddess basically…" Saber let that one slip

It didn't even take a second for New Ishtar to slam her foot on Saber's face and squash him against the ground with great strength, making the blonde scream in pain

"YOU DARE!? I'LL SHOW YOU USELESS, GOLDY LOCKS! THIS IS WHY YOU BLONDE COCKY BASTARDS ALWAYS PISS ME OFF!" New Ishtar yelled as she stomped on Saber

"IT WAS A JOKE! IT WAS A JOKE! I'M SORRY!" Saber begged for his life at the goddess's feet

Bell and Hestia watched the shenanigans happening but didn't pay full attention to it, their minds were still processing this incredibly massive amount of information that was just dumped on them

"My Bell… In a war…?" Hestia mumbled, this was bad, her Bell could actually die in this situation! And with a servant like that Saber, he was for sure an easy target! "How could I never have heard of something like this?"

"Well, us gods are mostly worried about things that entertain us, so I assume this type of thing never really interested you. I bet if you asked a god of war about this they'd probably say they saw a few as entertainment." New Ishtar shrugged at Hestia's comments

"CAN YOU GET OFF ME NOW!?" Saber begged, to which Ishtar decided to spare him out of the goodness of her heart, for sure not because she got annoyed of his voice

"The Grail can grant any wish, right?" Bell asked, looking at Saber

"Yes." Saber nodded

"Well… Then, I'll try my best to win, mister Saber!" Bell exclaimed, determination welling in his eyes "And… I'll wish to be able to become a great hero!"

Saber looked at his Master, his gaze was complicated to discern. He felt that wish was… not really a good one, but, the determination on the boy's eyes was something that he also sees in heroes in the Argo. Saber sighs, he knows that wish won't last, but the boy is young so he still doesn't realize that

"If that's your wish, Master. Then, as your captain, I'll guide you to acquire it." Saber smirked at his master. This boy would fit right in the Argo

Bell smiled at Saber supporting him, Hestia still didn't look pleased with this, but since there were going to be two factions, Bell could probably still be safe until they were completed… At least she hopes

"Geez…" New Ishtar threw her hair back and began to walk out of the room "You can finish this between yourselves, I'll be waiting in the living room."

And now the three were left in the room once again, with Bell looking at his goddess and seeing her worried look. Her put a hand on her shoulder and assured that he would be fine, he had Saber after all and there would be so many other heroes around that he could learn from, that did calm Hestia somewhat, but she still wasn't fully sure

"Plus, there will be the divine servants as mediators in case things get out of control." Bell smiled at Hestia

"Well, the current one we have isn't really that reliable…" both Saber and Hestia thought

But Hestia smiled, deciding to trust Bell for now…

"So… Am I still joining the Familia?" Saber asked

"Ah, right! We got so caught up in this we forgot about that!" Bell realized while rubbing the back of his head, chuckling to himself

Hestia sighed with a smile, her Familia was growing at least so that was good

—

Jason was now shirtless and laying on the bed with his back up, the goddess sitting on top of him and poking her finger with a needle

"If the Medea of the Argo saw this she'd be pretty upset I imagine…" Saber thought, shivering over the idea of seeing that woman angry

Hestia pressed her blood on his back, giving him her blessing… Only for a different kind of Falna to appear on his back, making her gasp in surprise

"What's this? I never saw this before!" Hestia exclaimed

"Eh?" Saber was now worried

"What is it, Goddess?" Bell asked

"This Falna is completely different from the type humans have, but they're all supposed to be the same… Well, I suppose it makes sense, I never saw a Spirit get a Falna before, so it being different probably means it's like this for all Spirits…" Hestia pondered, she'd have to ask the other gods about this another time

She took a sheet of paper and pressed it against his back, writing down the information from what she got, before getting out of his back

"And done! Welcome to the Familia, Saber!" Hestia said with a smile

"I'm glad you're one of us now, mister Saber!" Bell smiled at him

"Glad to be here, miss goddess." Saber said not really that enthusiastic, getting up from the bed

"Oh, let's see your stats! I got so distracted by it being different that I forgot about them!" Hestia urged them closer

"Even while you wrote them?" Saber asked confused as he approached

"She's excited, cut her some slack, mister Saber." Bell chuckled as he also came to look at the stat sheet

Jason

Saber Servant: One Star (level 1)

Strength: C

Endurance: B

Agility: B

Mana: D

Luck: A

NP: A

Magic:

Noble Phantasm: Astrapste Argo; Jason is able to summon a certain number of the members of his crew, the Argonauts, to come fight by his side. The amount of members able to be summoned and the time they spend fighting depends on the amount of magic used to unleash the spell. Depending on how heroic or villainous Jason's motives for summoning are, the members can choose to be absent at the summoning

Come to me, Argonauts!

Astrapste Argo!

Skills:

Magic Resistance: is able to resist magic of three or lower verses

Riding: has great proficiency of riding a mount or vehicle, not monsters however

The Sought-After Golden Fleece: it signifies Jason's possession of the Golden Fleece. It's relatively comforting and pleasant

Epiphany at the Jaws of Death: whenever Jason is in mortal danger he is able to come up with master plans

The Far Off Sea Route Conquered with Companions: Jason can inspire the members of the crew and slightly charm those that aren't part of it

"Mine doesn't have numbers?" Jason blurted out

"This is a level one that just got into a Familia!? His stats are insane!" Bell yelled in shock

"I know! And he even comes with magic of his own and so many skills! No wonder Spirits don't become adventurers often, they'd be so sought after entire Familias would wage wars against each other to be able to get them!" Hestia exclaimed, getting very happy that she managed to get two of them just for her Familia! She was so rubbing this on Loki's face! "Wait, your actual name is Jason? Why have you been going by Saber?"

"Well, going by my class better hides my real identity so other Servants don't get the knowledge of my weaknesses, you know? I am built in the image of a historical figure after all." Saber explained "So I'd appreciate it if you kept referring to me as Saber."

"Alright, mister Saber." Bell nodded

"So, since it's finally over, who wants to eat some Jagamarukun!? All of this made me hungry! Let's celebrate the new member of our Familia!" Hestia cheered

"Great idea, Goddess!" Bell cheered

"Well, I do love when my greatness is noticed, so I accept the celebration!" Saber cackled to himself

Even though Servants didn't need to eat, he still wanted to party

—

The three Familia members and fourth extra member were now on the part of the place that could be considered the living room, sitting down and eating some fried potatoes, which are the so called Jagamarukun, it seems Hestia works by selling these

"A goddess working as a food saleswoman, that's new." Saber said while taking a bite out of the potato

"You guys don't even have any gems?" New Ishtar asked, also taking a bite just to see how it tasted. And it wasn't half bad honestly

"Yeah, no… We really are struggling financially since we are still a pretty new Familia." Bell explained to the divine spirit

"Oh…" said spirit stared at them with a look that looked like a mix of pity and disgust at their situation, and the situation she was now forced to live in

"Don't give us that look!" Hestia yelled at being most likely mentally called broke by another version of a goddess that pisses her off

"Saber, first mission as the team captain, get this faction some money for a better base." New Ishtar looked at Saber, to which he nodded

"I was already planning on it after getting a better layout of the city." Saber answered

"They got all serious…" Bell deadpanned

"Well, as a noble captain I can't accept having me or my Master living in such a situation. First thing in the morning after signing me as an adventurer at the guild, I will explore this city to learn it's layout." Jason nodded

"Do it during the night, you don't need to sleep anyway." New Ishtar took another bite of her Jagamarukun "Because tomorrow I want to see what this dungeon is all about."

"Eh!? You can't! The gods are prohibited from entering the dungeon!" Hestia protested

"Relax, people don't even know what or who I am. Besides, I'll just turn off my divinity like you do." New Ishtar shrugged "Besides, it will be just the upper floors and I'll have these two around to help."

"Well… then it should be fine. But you can't go around being called Ishtar! Even as a spirit that embodies her legend, which is still something I don't fully understand when it comes to us gods-" Hestia began

"Oh, there's a second one here? I wonder how she is." New Ishtar blurted out, alright piecing together the reason for her to not be able to use her name

"It will cause a lot of trouble for someone to go walking around calling themselves the name of another God that's already here in the gekai!" Hestia finished

"That does bring a good point." Saber thoughtfully said and turned to Ishtar "What do we call you?"

"Well, she is an archer, so Archer?" Bell suggested

"No, it will get confusing once your faction gets their archer." Archer Ishtar denied that idea

"How about Spirit?" Saber suggested

"It would be like calling someone human." Spirit Ishtar deadpanned

"Flatshtar." Hestia smirked

"Are you trying to get me mad?" Flat Ishtar glared before sighing "Just call me Archer D. Shorten it for D when talking to me in public."

"D?" Bell blinked confused

"For divine." Archer D asked with a little smile on her face

"Pretentious." Saber mumbled

"You say something?" Archer D asked

"Not at all!"

As the three members began their shenanigans once again Hestia grabbed the paper with Bell's Falna once again and looked at it, seeing the Skill part and seeing the blurred skill he had. She frowned a little

"Such a skill… and for her…" Hestia's eyes soften slightly with a saddened look

—

Outside the Church. Night.

Bell and Hestia were already sleeping inside, and so Saber took this opportunity to go outside to begin his exploration. When he got out and began to walk down the street, the divine servant floated down beside him, crossing her arms

"Hey." Ishtar began

"Yes?" Jason asked

"So, she gave you her blessing and made you part of this whole group, correct?" Ishtar asked, starting to walk alongside him

"That's what she said, yes." Jason nodded

"I see." Ishtar looked up for a moment "You don't feel different."

"Well, she said it doesn't really feel like a great surge at the beginning but once it starts to get updated is when I'll start feeling the differences." Jason mentioned

"Right." Ishtar hummed, starting to float again "Welp, I'll do my own thing now. Have fun exploring."

Jason looked up at her as she flew away, wondering why she wanted to talk to him like that before shrugging and simply continuing on his walk

Ishtar put herself in a position which looked like she was sitting in the air, her legs close to her body with her knees serving as a platform for her to press her chin against

"It doesn't feel like a surge at the start." Ishtar hummed "But I could feel the divine energy on the boy, but not on you though…"

—

Orario. Morning.

Saber, Archer D and Bell were making their way to the guild after a good night's sleep for the master. It was around five A.M currently and the three were more than ready to start the day with some exploration of the dungeon after getting Saber registered

"Master, how far down the dungeon are we going to go?" Saber asked

"I was… planning on playing it safe today and staying on level one." Bell explained meekly

"After the events with the Minotaur that's a-"

"Stupid decision." Archer D interrupted Saber, making the blonde do a noise of indignation "Staying in the first floor won't allow you to evolve at all, and from what I've heard those magic stones that the monsters drop can be traded for valis and the lower floor monsters drop better gems, so you are going to go to at least level five with me."

"Are you sure, miss D?" Bell asked

"You want to be a great hero, right?" Archer D asked making Bell nod "Then, rabbit, you have to get ready to take risks. Consider this some divine advice."

"You just want him to go lower so he can get more money and we can buy a better place quicker." Saber mumbled

"Also that. I do not like living in that run down church. It's cramped and dirty, not fitting for a goddess." Archer D crossed her arms

"You shouldn't just be saying that out loud, good thing no one heard." Saber looked around to be sure before sighing "But I do agree, if we will be an entire faction we will need a bigger base… And I also don't like that cramped church. Good thing I have a plan for that already."

As the two servants talked, Bell widened his eyes for a moment and quickly turned around as if he felt threatened, that made Saber and Archer D turn towards him with a confused look, before Bell slowly turned back to them

"What was that?" Archer D asked

"Sorry, I felt like someone was staring at me. Like they were sizing me up." Bell rubbed the back of his head

"An enemy? Could be an assassin." Archer D looked around

"Unlikely, the direction he looked is too open for there to be an assassin hiding. And if it actually were one that could hide in such an open space, the rabbit would be dead by now." Saber said

"Surprisingly good assessment from you." Archer D blinked

Bell smiled at Saber reassuring that it was fine, making the servant smirk and shrug, as if saying "what can ya do". The three continued until they passed through some store, to which a girl called for them

"H-Hey!"

"Hm?" Bell turned

When he turned he saw a girl wearing a barmaid uniform, her gray hair being tied back in a small ponytail, her steps a little careful as she approached

"Sorry for bothering you, but I think this belongs to you. I found it on the floor yesterday after you passed by." the girl said, giving a magic stone to Bell

Bell grabbed the stone and started to talk with the girl, leaving Archer D and Saber to stand back as the third wheels, glancing at each other for a moment

"Who's that?" Archer D asked

"Not sure, didn't see her yesterday." Saber shrugged

The two saw how they interacted, how Bell's stomach growled and how the girl offered him her lunch so he wouldn't be hungry, the two blushing at each other

"Ooh, maybe lovers?" Archer D smiled

"No, he already is in love with the Sword Princess, Ais Wallenstein." Saber crossed his arms

"Hey, he can have more than one lover. I think this body I have is familiar with that concept." Archer D put a hand on her chin "Maybe I'll give him some advice."

"That's a bad idea." Saber urged

"Oh come on, I'm a goddess of love, what could go wrong?" Archer D turned to him

"Don't say that out loud, and a lot of things actually!" Saber exclaimed, remembering the last time he saw a goddess of love help someone get their lover

"Oh, what do you know?"

"A lot!"

As the two discussed about goddesses of love, Bell came back to them, waving at the girl and smiling at her

"Oh! I'm Bell Cranel!" Bell gave her his name

"I'm Syr Florer, it's a pleasure. Can't wait to see you here at night." The girl smiled waving back

And so Bell signaled for the two servants to continue with him

"So~" Archer D decided to have some fun, crouching slightly while walking beside Bell "Got yourself a girl, rabbit?"

"W-What!?" Bell blushed at her question

"I saw how you two were looking at each other, and I know my stuff, I'm a goddess of love, you know?" Archer D chuckled to herself

"M-Miss D, don't tease me! She was just being nice!" Bell protested "And also probably just trying to make me come back at night to spend more money…"

"You're so innocent it's kind of cute. It makes me feel nostalgic for some reason." Archer D said, going back to walking normally

"So, I assume that we will have our celebration at that pub after today's adventure?" Saber asked

"Well, I did promise I would eat there so yes. It's called the Hostess of Fertility by the way." Bell mentioned

"I like the name, I'm in." Archer D smiled, she was also the goddess of fertility so sounded like a place for her

"Since you two are going I think I don't have another choice…" Saber sighed

They'd have to make a lot of valis today to be able to afford food there, because Archer D was for sure going to buy a lot of stuff even though she doesn't need it

—

Guild. Morning.

The three had finally managed to get to the guild, with Archer D deciding to stay outside as the boring stuff was organized, leaving Saber and Bell to come inside and see Eina at the usual working spot she stayed

"Miss Eina!" Bell waved at her, getting the attention of the half elf

"Oh, hello Bell. Saber." Eina did a little bow at the two

"Hello, Eina." Saber did a polite bow

"So, did Saber officially enter the Familia?" Eina asked

"Yes he did! We are very excited to have a new member, and we are going to explore the dungeon today." Bell smiled as he explained, making Eina smile as well

"And don't worry, we will stay around the higher floors." Saber reassured, not fully lying but also not telling the whole true

"That's a relief. Well, here you go." Eina sighed while pulling out a small document for Saber to fill "Just fill up this document and you will officially be an adventurer. And if you want you can buy our starter kit for three hundred thousand valis."

"Three hundred thousand!?" Saber widened his eyes in shock, turning to Bell who looked down in pain at the reminder of how costly this all was "I'll be fine with my normal equipment."

"If you say so. Just be careful." Eina nodded

Saber saw the document and noticed how simple it was, just asking a name and his level as necessary information, making him hum to himself as he wrote "Saber" and "Level 1", this was a lot simpler than he expected

"And all done." Saber then gave the document back to Eina, who took it and smiled

"Very well. You are officially an adventurer, Saber." Eina nodded, seeming happy that Bell found someone older to help him in the dungeon

Saber turned to Bell and gave him a little high five, the two said their goodbyes to Eina and made their way out, meeting with Archer D who was with her back against a wall, before noticing them and walking beside them

"Done?" She asked

"Yes, it was very easy. All they ask is a name and a level, nothing else." Saber sighed while rubbing the top of his head "And here I thought I'd have to come up with tons of excuses for my stats…"

"Well, the Falna is something incredibly important for each adventurer, almost as much as their own lives, so not even the guild can force you to show it to them." Bell explained

"It makes sense." Archer D shrugged "It is the blessing from their god which is allowing them to reach greatness, protecting it and treating it so carefully is to be expected."

"These blessings are very different from the ones from before." Saber mumbled

"Huh?" Bell turned to Saber, thinking he heard something

"Enough talking. Let's go, time for some dungeon exploring." Archer D signaled for the two to follow her, which they did

The three began to walk, with Bell moving a little faster to stay beside the goddess, trying to talk to her

"Miss D, I don't think you'll be able to enter the dungeon. You're not an adventurer, and I don't think my goddess would be happy if you revealed your divinity just to enter." Bell mentioned, making Archer D poke him in the nose

"Don't worry about that. Us spirits have a special thing about ourselves. We can turn incorporeal for traveling, making people without good enough magical detection to notice us." Archer D mentioned, before throwing her hair back with her arms and disappearing from view, making Bell widen his eyes

"Wow…" Bell was in awe

"It also helps save up magic from the Master, so it's also very useful." Saber explained making Bell nod

"I see! You spirits are amazing." Bell said excited "I'm very happy that I can learn from you!"

Saber smirked smugly, raising his arm and flipping his hair in a cocky manner, like he was saying "mmmmm, naturally!"

—

Dungeon, Floor 4

This travel through the dungeon was a relatively calm one, there weren't any high level monsters like the Minotaur from before, and Bell seemed to be handling his own

"Graaah!" Bell screamed as he slashed a Kobolt in half

Saber smirked at the way Bell was fighting, pointing his arm to the side and yelling

"A Goblin from the left! Kick and move for a stab!"

"Got it!" Bell yelled, kicking a Goblin that tried jumping at him, stabbing it right in the head and slashing it in half with his dagger

And Archer D, who had rematerialized herself after entering the dungeon, was also being relatively entertained by this, seeing the boy defeat the monsters was fun and the gems they dropped were quite nice as well, she let out a little smirk as she moved close to grab them while humming to herself

"Aren't you going to help your master?" Archer D asked

"I am." Saber answered with conviction "From behind, a Frog Shooter!"

Bell dodged from the side, dodging an attack from the monster. Archer D got back up after collecting some of the magic stones, giving Saber a side eye

"You are kind of reversing the roles here, aren't you?" Archer D noticed

"Well, as the Familia Captain, me giving him directions is a great way to help." Saber boasted his position

"When was that agreed upon?"

"I thought it was obvious ever since I joined."

Archer D gave Saber a deadpan look, walking back and standing right behind him. Seeing Bell slashing through various monsters she noticed that he seemed to be starting to get a little tired, to which she knew what to do

"Bell, now-" Saber yelled before being kicked in the back and sent flying towards "WAAAAAAAAGH!"

Bell turned to see what was that scream, only for Saber to slam into a Goblin headfirst, killing it on impact and tumbling onto the ground

"Mister Saber!?" Bell widened his eyes in shock before quickly raising his dagger to block a hit from a Kobolt

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR, D!?" Saber yelled, getting back up

"The way you were acting made me mad. Now entertain me along with the rabbit." Archer D said dismissively

"DAMN YOU, GODDESS!" Jason yelled, pulling his sword out

And in the moment he did he heard a creature roaring and trying to claw at him, making him help and move back, quickly slashing at it and managing to decapitate it

"Oh, they are really weak actually." Saber blinked before coughing into his hand "I mean obviously, and since you look so tired I suppose I can give you a little hand."

"He's not even good at faking it." Archer D deadpanned

"Now, let's make haste to the fifth floor!" Saber declared, having Bell finish the final Goblin in their way

—

Dungeon, Floor 5

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Saber screamed as he ran away from a massive swarm of Kobolts that seemed to be targeting him in specific

"Mister Saber!" Bell yelled, kicking one Kobolt away and trying to run to help his captain

"Hahaha! Now this is nice to see!" Archer D was having fun watching Saber suffer like that

"YOU DAMN GODDESS! WHAT'S YOUR ISSUE WITH ME!?" Saber screamed

"Hmm, I'm not really sure. I think it's the way you look and act." Archer D shrugged, not even sure of it herself, normally she would have some fun with this stuff but was this really that different from her normal self?

"Miss D! Don't be mean to mister Saber, please!" Bell yelled, making her look at him and have her gaze soften ever so slightly

"Fine fine, just don't cry, rabbit." Archer D pulled out two gems from somewhere, throwing them towards the wave of Kobolts

The two gems then turn into lasers, being sent directly amongst the wave of Kobolts and blowing them away, which also ended up blowing Saber away into a wall. That attack destroyed most of the Kobolts, while the rest were finished care of by Bell

"So strong!" Bell said impressed after finishing the remaining monsters. Even with D completely suppressing her divinity, she was still so strong!

"There, aren't I merciful?" Archer D said while looking at Saber, before turning back to Bell "I'll try to relax on the pranks on him, how does that sound?"

"I'd appreciate that, miss D." Bell sighed in relief, making the goddess smile slightly

"Why are you so much nicer to him!?" Saber yelled but didn't receive an answer

Archer D began to collect the magic stones along with Bell, while Saber got himself back up, dusting himself off

"And with all of this collected, let's make our way back to the city." Archer D signaled back with her hand

"Already?" Bell asked "I feel like I can still go on."

"Yeah, but I already saw what I wanted to see. This dungeon really works as a living organism, it's very interesting." Archer D said, seeing some new monsters being birthed by the walls "Besides, you have that promise to keep with that girl, right?"

"O-Oh right! Thank you for reminding me!" Bell nodded

"I agree with going back, it's rude to keep a lady waiting. Especially when she offers you dinner." Saber said like that was great knowledge

"You're so right, mister Saber!" Bell nodded making Saber smirk and boast over his greatness

"He was running away from monsters he could easily kill in one hit, don't act like he's cool." Archer D sighed, shaking her head and walking through the way back, signaling with her hand for them to follow

"H-Hey! I'm the captain! I can guide our way out!" Saber yelled following the goddess

"Wait, miss D! Don't walk away!" Bell ran after her

On the walk back, Archer D was analysing the things she had grabbed, there were various magic stones, which she thought looked quite pretty and they seemed rather expensive, she was kinda sad she'd have to sell them, but she found some parts of monsters that didn't disappear when they disintegrated

"Oh, drop items!" Bell said, seeing Archer D holding a Kobolt Claw

"Drop Item?" Archer D looked at Bell

"Yes, monsters have a chance to drop an item when defeated, we can sell them for quite a lot!" Bell explained, making Archer D's eyes widen with some excitement

"So we are a step closer to getting a better place." Archer D smirked

"I don't think drop items from low level monsters will give us enough for the mansion you're imagining." Saber dropped the ball

"Damnit!" Archer D cursed

Bell chuckled at how she reacted

—

Hostess of Fertility. Evening.

After trading the magic stones and drop items at the guild, they got a rather big amount of valis considering the normal amount Bell gets, which got the trio ready for dinner at the Hostess of Fertility

"Shouldn't we go back to the church first?" Bell asked

"Is it because of your stats? They won't go away, the goddess can update them anytime, and you promised this girl you'd be here. I'm sure she'll understand." Saber said, patting Bell's shoulder

"I doubt it." Archer D thought

The three made their way in, looking around and seeing the staff. A muscular dwarf lady seemed to be the owner who was cleaning some cups, various cat girls moved around the place, delivering food to the various customers

"Wait, are all the employees girls!?" Bell thought while gulping, turning to Saber

"What a cozy place." Who had his arms crossed while looking around

And then at Archer D

"Reminds me of some places." Who was also treating this casually

"These two truly are on another level compared to me." Bell sighed

"Bell?" A third voice was heard, making Bell snap out of his thoughts

He looked forward and saw Syr right there, smiling at him, which Bell retributed with a rather awkward smile

"I-I'm here!" Bell said

"That you are. And I see you brought your two friends." Syr said, noticing the two extras "Welcome!"

"Hey." Archer D waved with a smirk, looking at her and then at Bell as if trying to say something

"We are members of the same Familia, I'm Saber, and this is D. It's a pleasure." Saber said, being polite with the girl

"Saber and D…? Those are… Unique names." Syr said, trying to be nice

"They are more like nicknames, our real names are not something we are really comfortable sharing." Saber lifted his hand with a smile

"Ah, I understand." Syr nodded, turning around and announcing to the other employees "Seating three!"

Bell blushed, being embarrassed at the yell and over being at a bar like this for the first time. The three were taken by Syr to a table for them, Bell trying to ignore the looks they were getting because of Saber's golden armor glowing and Archer D's scandalous clothes, the two didn't seem to mind at all

"Here, have a seat." Syr had a small bow

"Thank you." Bell bowed back, and so the three sat down

They were seated on chairs in front of the counter, leaving the dwarf lady working in front of them, with them being organized with Bell in the right, Saber in the middle, and Archer D on the left. Bell was still nervous, which the two noticed, but they weren't sure how to get him to calm down

"The poor boy must be overwhelmed with so many girls around, he must be at that age." Archer D teased

"M-Miss D!" Bell whined while blushing

"It's normal, don't worry. But you should be used to the female figure, you've been with the perfect incarnation of beauty that is me the entire day." Archer D smugly showed herself off

"Well… It is true that you are very pretty and you leave little to the imagination but… somehow you have a calming presence to yourself, not really a provocative one." Bell explained, making Archer D blink confused

"Not provocative? What's that supposed to mean, rabbit!? Are you saying I'm not sexy!? I'll have you know-" Archer D began to get upset, making Bell raise his arms in self defense while Saber let out a laugh, which caused Archer D to kick him in the shin "Don't you laugh!"

"Agh! My leg!" Saber yelled in pain

"Haha!" The dwarf woman laughed seeing the three, making them turn to her "So you three are Syr's guests, huh? You're a charming bunch fer adventurers."

She leaned over the counter, analysing them, leaving Bell even more embarrassed while confusing Saber and Archer D, before she moved back and crossed her arms

"Just give a holler if ya need anything! I heard ya were going all out today, so just ask and we will keep the food coming!" The dwarf woman said with a large smile, confusing the three

"Huh?" Saber blinked confused

Archer D turned around, seeing Syr turning away and smiling innocently, making the disguised goddess let out a singular cackle

"I think that's the first time I'm hearing that." Bell deadpanned, already knowing who was responsible for saying that

"Hee hee…" Syr let out an awkward laugh

"It was you, wasn't it?" Saber sighed, not even looking at the girl

"Yes. I told Mama Mia that I was bringing someone today and I talked you up a little." Syr looked away while pressing her fingers together

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Bell asked

"I'm rooting for you!" Syr smiled

"I like her. She's clever." Archer D giggled

"We won't be doing any going all out, we still don't have the money for that. Just bring us some water and some chicken, please." Saber sighed while looking at the table, even in the normal humans were dangerous around here it seems

"Fair enough, fair enough. But instead of water, how about some ale?" Mia asked with a grin

"The boy is still underaged." Saber asked, only for them to get ale anyway, sighing and giving up at this point "Okay then…"

After Syr's shenanigans were cleared up they began to eat their orders, with Syr sitting down beside Bell to talk after a little while. Saber was eating without saying much, these women were on another level of taking money from people, he needed to be careful because they already made them spend more to get ale, truly impressive.

Archer D was enjoying the atmosphere of this place, it was pretty cozy and everyone seemed to be having fun. And watching Bell shooting his shot at Syr, or whatever he was doing, she wasn't really being able to hear the whole conversation, was pretty fun to see. She thought that having to hide her divinity due to her masters orders to not alert the Ishtar or this place was going to make things boring, but it actually made her have some more common type of fun

As the three were relaxing themselves, the door is suddenly swung open, a large group of various races ends up entering the bar, making Bell widen his eyes nervously, something Saber and Archer D notice

"I-its…" Bell mumbled

The group consisted of a red haired slim woman, a blonde human, a green haired elf, a blonde pallum, two amazoness and a werewolf. Bell lowers himself but he can't look away

"Why is he so enthralled with them?" Archer D asks Saber

"The blonde one is the Sword Princess he is in love with. The Ais Wallenstein I told you about." Saber whispered to the goddess

"Oh! So that's the one he has feelings for. And that's her Familia right?" Archer D questions

"Yes, they are the Loki Familia, one of the highest ranked Familias in Orario." Syr explained "They are regulars here. And that red haired one, is their goddess."

The two servants watched the Familia, one of the strongest in the city and the ones with the highest chance of managing to summon Servants themselves, so they could end up being potential allies or enemies. While Bell's face turned redder and redder as he watched Ais interacting with her Familia

"Hey Ais, can I lay on your lap? I'm completely drained from today!" The readhead goddess whined

"I'd rather you didn't." Ais answered

"Come on! Not even a little squeeze on them thighs?"

"Do that and I'll stab you."

"So cold!" Loki laughed, drinking some ale that was just delivered for them

"Yo, Ais, tell us that story!" The werewolf asked while raising a cup of ale himself

"Story?" Ais blinked confused

"You know the one, about the minotaurs that got away! Remember? That one you finished off and the tomato boys!" The werewolf yelled

Bell froze in place, his eyes widening as he tried to hide his head, Saber nearly coughed out his food, Archer D didn't quite get what was with their reaction

"It was because of them!?" Saber whispered amongst his small group

"Because of them what?" Archer D asked

"When I was first summoned, the kid was being attacked by a Minotaur in the higher floors, which is not something that is supposed to happen it seems." Saber explained

"Oh! So they nearly killed you two basically?" Archer D snapped her fingers

"Yes." Saber nodded, looking at Bell and seeing his face turn redder and redder

"And then Ais went after one of them, and saw that the Minotaur was fighting two guys! A newbie and some random! The random took a punch so hard the splatted against the wall while the newbie was nearly pissing himself like a little rabbit!" The werewolf cackles

"Oh, what happened to them? Were they okay?" One of the amazoness asked

Bell turned to look at Saber, he noticed that he didn't seem to show a reaction when they talked about him, however, when it seemed that they were making fun of Bell he glanced towards them. The same with Archer D. The two of them began to frown, seeing how much the werewolf was laughing

"They were fine, Ais came and cut the Minotaur in half, and covered the two in the cow's blood! That's why I call them Tomato Boys! Gahahahaha!" The Werewolf laughed some more before one of the Amazoness smacked him in the chest "Ough! My ribs!"

"Ais, you didn't mean to do that, did you?" The elf asked, rubbing her temples

"No, I didn't…" Ais looked embarrassed

"And it gets better! That disappointment of a fighter had at least the decency to thank Ais, but the kid runs away, making the other guy go after him! Ais must have scared the hell out of that newbie!" The werewolf laughed a lot more

Ais frowned a little, she then saw Loki starting to laugh too

"Haha! My bad! My bad! But you gotta admit, it's a little funny." Loki smiled, making Ais frown at her "Aww, don't make em scary eyes, they ruin ya cute face~!"

Almost the entire Familia starts laughing, making Bell look at the table and hide his face in his arms

"B-Bell…" Syr tries to talk to him but he doesn't seem to listen

"They sure are loud." Archer D said with venom, gripping her cup of ale really strong

"Yeah. It gets annoying." Saber shot them a glare. He can accept himself being insulted, he knows his abilities in combat aren't great, but one thing he will never accept is that his crew gets insulted. And that now included his Master

"I mean, seriously, that boy has to be the most pathetic thing I've ever seen!" The werewolf then continued, taking another sip of his ale "If you're gonna be an adventurer don't just stand around crying like a little bitch! People like him give us a bad name!"

Bell began to shake, with Saber's glare getting fiercer. He shouldn't give them attention, it could cause a big problem for the Familia and he just became a member, but such disrespect from something they caused couldn't be accepted so easily

"That's enough, Bete!" The elf woman yelled "It was our own mistake that caused the escape of the Minotaurs! They had nothing to do with it! And stop drinking, have some respect!"

"Oh, you elves and your pride! Saying it's our fault it's a lie! The kid is trash! What's wrong with calling trash trash!?" Bete yelled

"Okay okay, Riveria, Bete, relax! You're ruining the atmosphere." Loki ordered the two

Saber got up, grabbing his cup of ale and walking away from his group, approaching the other table slowly

"I won't tell you did it." Archer D said, which made Saber nod

"And you Ais, ya think that kid deserves to stand in the same place as us as adventurers?" Bete asked the sword princess

"I don't blame him for acting the way he did." Ais answered simply

"Okay, I'll change the question, miss goodie two-shoes. Me or him, which one would you choose to breed with?" Bete pointed at her

"Bete, are you drunk?" the pallum asked with a sigh

"Shut it! Tell me, Ais, would you rather have a real man or a little shitty newbie!?"

"I don't have a reason to answer that question." Ais said firmly "Especially coming from you."

"You're absurd…" Riveria shook her head

"Quiet, hag!" Bete growled at the elf and turned back to Ais "You know very well if that kid came to you and asked you out the words that would come out of your mouth would be a loud rejection!"

But before he could continue whatever he was doing a cup of ale fell right on top of his head, the ale in the cup making his face and hair wet

"Pfff!" One of the Amazoness stifled her laughter

"Oh my, I'm so sorry! I'm so clumsy!" Saber said, approaching the werewolf and grabbing the cup out of his head

"Oi, what gives!?" Bete turned around, pissed off at having ale dropped on him before noticing who it was "Wait, you're one of the Tomato Boys!"

"Nice to meet you, the name is Saber-"

"I don't care! You wanna get beat up!? Think you can just drop that on me and get away easily!?" Bete growled, getting up and walking up to Saber, who raised his hands defensively "Where's the other one? Is it past his bedtime?"

"Bete, sit back down, you're drunk!" The pallum told him

"Yeah, Bete, it was an accident." The other Amazoness mentioned

"Shut up! I ain't letting the grown man who calls that shitty brat master disrespect me like that!" Bete yelled

Bell quickly got up and run off the pub during the confrontation between the two, making Archer D widen her eyes before clicking her tongue

"Bell!" Syr yelled

"Hm?" Ais noticed something quickly moving away

Saber glanced at where Bell went, frowning, before he took a step back as he noticed how close the silver haired man was

"You sure enjoy barking. Is it because of your wolf part?" Saber asked, making Bete growl

"You wanna go, bastard!?"

"I wouldn't dare disrespect this establishment because of a member of such a big Familia… Who can't even accomplish a simple task of beating a measly Minotaur and needs to have the other members finish the job for him." Saber smugly said

"Alright, you asked for this!" Bete yelled

"Bete, don't!" Riveria yelled

Bete charged at Saber, who widened his eyes, thinking that maybe this wasn't the best idea, however, before things escalated any further, Archer D put herself between the two, holding Bete's face to keep him away from Saber

"Okay, you two can cut it out." Archer D said, looking at the two amazoness who put their arms forward "You go back to your people."

Bete was then pushed back, tumbling I'm himself and falling right on the arms of the two amazoness, turning to Saber right after

"And don't antagonize random people at the pub, Saber. If we started a fight, Mia would have been the one to kill you." Archer D said, secretly giving him a thumbs up for his actions and glancing at Mia, who thanked her for stopping this stupidity

"Ah yes, of course. I deeply apologize for my actions. These apologies extend to you as well, Loki Familia." Saber exclaimed while putting a hand on his chest

"It's fine. Bete can be a little much at times." The pallum mentioned, while the two amazoness held the angry Bete in place "I apologize for him."

While Saber was having a small talk with the Loki Familia, Archer D turned to the exit and began to move towards it

"We'll meet at home. I'll go deal with something." Archer D warned Saber, who glanced at her as she left

Archer D looked around the street as she left the Hostess of Fertility, seeing Loki groping Ais out of the corner of her eye, deciding not to acknowledge that and run after Bell, who she had an idea where he could be. She was somewhat familiar with his type, the dreamer.

"OOOOH! Shy and cool! Truly my type!" Archer D heard Loki yelling, looking back confused for a moment before continuing to run

After getting far enough from prying eyes, Archer D started to float, turning into her spirit form and flying towards the dungeon, seeing that it was open

"Damnit, rabbit…"

—

Dungeon, Floor 5.

Archer D had went back to her normal form after entering the dungeon once again, running through the cavernous corridors of the dungeon, quickly going down the levels of the dungeon as quickly as she could

"This is already the fifth floor. Where is he!?" Archer D growled

She had dodged various monsters and just straight up killed others by kicking them away from her, and even searching through the fifth floor she couldn't find that idiot! Where could he even be!?

"GRAAGH!" A goblin jumped towards the servant, who hit it over the head with a spin kick, snapping it's neck and making it fly away from her

She grit her teeth, trying to find any clue as to where Bell could be. Her Master would go crazy if this kid dies, but other than that, she doesn't want to see someone die if she can help it, especially not someone like him, she's not sure why, but it's a feeling she has that she simply can't ignore

She quickly stopped on her tracks, finding a way into a lower floor in the dungeon, and in the stairs there were some ripped off chunks of clothing… The same one Bell was wearing

"Damnit!" the goddess cursed, running as fast as she could down to the next floor

—

Dungeon, Floor 6

Bell was slashed right in the chest by a massive black ghostly creature, a Wall Shadow, one of the most dangerous creatures in the upper floors, but he quickly countered, hitting a hard punch on him, hitting right in the white mask like face of the creature

"GRAAAAAAH!" Bell screamed, crushing the monster against the wall of the dungeon, killing it and making it turn into black ashes

Bell panted, his body filled with injuries, one of his daggers broken and the other one on the floor, blood falling from his body

"I-I can still…" Bell began before another Wall Shadow stabbed it's claws through his shoulder, making him scream

Bell has been fighting various of these monsters for a long time considering the amount of magic stones on the floor, but he was quickly getting tired, and the last Wall Shadow managed to catch him

"G-Ghg!" Bell kicked the monster in the face, making it real back and throw Bell away, making him skid through the floor

The monster made a weird noise and glared at Bell, quickly dashing at him to finish him off, aiming at his head

"I am weak… That man was right… I'm pathetic, and because of that… I'm going to die…" Bell thought as the creature looked like it was moving in slow motion "I'm sorry Goddess… You were the only one who accepted me… and in the end I betrayed your trust by dying like this… I'm so sorry… I… just wanted to be a hero… to prove myself… to not have to be saved… like the heroes in the stories…"

The Wall Shadow was almost hitting Bell, but at the last second, a second person hit it in the face with a two legged dropkick, sending it flying back with a yell of pain, making Bell widen his eyes

"I finally found you!" It was Archer D, Ishtar! Looking very upset

Bell's look got softer before he then glanced down, disappointed in himself for failing like this

Archer D glanced at him, wondering what to say right now, but the Wall Shadow tried to take advantage of her distraction, but the servant quickly reacted, parrying the attack away with her hand and jumping, spinning in the air and kicking the creature away

The monster screamed in pain before Archer D flew towards him, going behind it and slamming her leg at the back of its head, decapitating it and breaking the things mask-like face with that hit, making it turn to dust and drop the magic crystal. She then slowly went back to the ground, spinning in the ground before stopping right beside Bell

"M-Miss D…" Bell looked up at her

Archer D looked down at him, sighing before she crouched down to have a better look at him

"You're an idiot." She grabbed Bell's bag on his hip, grabbing a potion from it and force fed it to Bell, which managed to heal most of his injuries "What made you think that running off to the sixth floor on your own at night was a good idea!?"

"I-I'm sorry…" Bell apologized looking down, now having enough energy to sit

"You want to be a hero right!? How is doing this going to accomplish it!?" Archer D yelled at him, trying to get some sense on this kid's head

"I'm sorry, miss D… But…" Bell looked down, his hair covering his eyes "I just wanted to get stronger…"

Archer D's eyes soften a little, making her sigh and rub her forehead, shaking her head like she had dealt with this type of person before

"What that guy said in the pub really got to you, didn't it?" The servant asked, to which Bell didn't respond, he simply looked away "Look, I understand that you want to prove yourself, you want to be a hero after all and this determination is something that they have."

Bell looked back at her, raising his head slightly

"But, it's also what causes them to meet the most tragic ends. And yours can't be this soon." Archer D said, flicking his forehead, making Bell wince slightly "You want to get stronger and be a great hero, right? One people can look up to and one that even Ais can rely on."

Bell looked at Ishtar, who now stood up straight, a hand on her hips as she looked down at him, and nodded. He didn't know why, but she looked different now… It couldn't be her divinity, it was completely repressed…

"Then don't go trying to get yourself killed." The divine servant said, grabbing him by the arm and lifting him up, making him look at her face to face "You won't be able to be a hero if you did. And also… There's people around that would be sad if you were to die, so as a good hero, live so they can be happy."

Not even Ishtar herself knew why she was saying this, it was that feeling again, and for some reason it felt like something she should say to him. She… didn't want to see people like him dying.

Bell looked at Ishtar in a way he never did before, he only met her yesterday, but from the way she acted she felt like a goddess that didn't really care about anything other than things that entertain her, it was what most gods were like honestly, but now… she felt more like a normal girl. A normal girl worried that her friend could end up dying.

"Okay…" Bell nodded, giving Ishtar a little smile "I'll live. I promise."

"Good." Ishtar smirked slightly. Before grabbing him and throwing him on her back, starting to float "And don't do this again, what is it that your half elf friend says? Adventurers shouldn't go adventuring? Think about that."

Bell let out a small chuckled, blushing thanks to being carried like this by the goddess, who began to fly out of the empty and quiet dungeon

"Understood, Goddess."

"Actually, you can call me…" Ishtar thought for a moment "Tohsaka."

"Tohsaka? Why?" Bell asked

"No reason in particular. I think it's just fitting." Ishtar shrugged

"Well… Okay." Bell nodded, gods do have some weird preferences after all "Thank you for coming to help me, Tohsaka."

Ishtar unconsciously smiled after hearing that, her body reacting to being called that, her heart feeling warmer like it hasn't heard that in a long time

"No problem, Bell." Ishtar actually called him by his name, making Bell widen his eyes "Now let's go get you back to your Goddess, she must be worried about you."

"R-Right! I need to apologize to her!" Bell realized, nodding rapidly "And also, I need to talk with Saber. I want him to train me…"

"..." Ishtar made a complicated expression "Maybe you should wait for another Servant to join your faction before you think of having one of them train you."

Bell got confused as to why she would say that, but Ishtar knew that Jason didn't exactly have much to teach in the path of becoming stronger…

And so a second chapter is made! I did this one quicker because I wanted to let out the more basic information about the Grail War that's gonna happen and the reason why Ishtar was able to be summoned, I apologize for so much exposition this chapter but since I didn't want it to just be a exposition fest I tried also using it to develop Jason and Ishtar's dynamic along with their dynamic with Bell, especially Ishtar's with Bell since he kinda reminds me of a little baby Shirou so I wanted to reflect that on the Rin part of Ishtar taking a liking to him because of that and making Ishtar a little extra soft on him.

And so this is a Great Grail War, we are in Danmachi Appocrypha or however you write it, which characters do you think would be part of each faction? I have some in mind but not everyone already set. And also, some other Divine Servants so Ishtar can have a little friend group to herself. The Argonauts are going to appear no matter what Servants are chosen thanks to Jason's Noble Phantasm, so for those wanting to see Herc carrying Bell on his shoulder like he is a boy Illiya, you will get that.

I do apologize if the formating and pacing is garbage, I'm not what I'd consider a good writer and its my first time writing for htese two series that have a lot of lore packed in so its hard to balance stuff, and I kinda do this all myself and English is not my first language, so that makes it even harder.

Omake: Ishtar's Divine Tips for Love

Ishtar: alright, rabbit. I heard that you went to the dungeon to pick up girls.

Bell: is that so wrong...?

Ishtar: yes. But, now you don't need to worry with stupid ideas like those.

Bell: you're just insulting me!

Ishtar: Because I will teach you the ultimate seduction technique, even capable of overpowering the charm magic from us goddesses of love.

Bell: wow... with that, Ais will for sure have to accept me... Do teach me, miss Tohsaka!

Ishtar sets up a high pole and a big fluffy cushion on the other side of it

Ishtar: try and jump this.

Bell: ...eh?

Ishtar: trust me, rabbit. Simply continuing to try and jump this will make whatever woman you want fall in love with you. The downside is that everyone in the world sees you do it apparrently.

Bell: w-well, you're the goddess, miss Tohsaka. So I'll try!
