Lily : In the end, you are too kind Bell-sama...

As she started raising herself through the floors and thanks to their training days down here it was quite easy for her to pa.s.s with small problems...

She had long stopped hearing bell after the 9th floor which caused her some discomfort along the way...

When she reached at the entrance of the 7th floor to the sixth she stopped walking and took out the knife she had stolen from Bell and placed it inside her socknees...

Lily : Lily now will take her first step in claiming her freedom...

She started walking upwards again and on the mid area of the 5th floor as she was walking through, she sensed two figures waiting there for her...

??? : Was it a success???

Lily : Of course Canoe..

Canoe : Where are the goods??

Lily : Here...

Lily threw Bell's pouch at them along with her back waiting for the two to check them up...

At the same time on Bell's side, he was surrounded by hundreds of Orcs and was fighting those getting closer to him with a broken dagger and his fist alone...

In his eyes only the will to live and help those in need was seen inside them...

As he was fighting and thinking back to his time with Lily trying to find something that justified her actions, he finally noticed from the very first day they had met she was acting with fear and reserve...

And only when they made too much money are started getting closer...

He ducked an incoming club and trusted the broken dagger in the wrist of the orc before twisting it as the Dagger completely snapped...

This however let Bell claim the club with spikes for his own use and smashed its head as a crack sound was heard causing the Orc to become dust...

Bell : How many... Haaaah... have I killed so far??? Haaaah 20-30???

Bell : Up to some point Lily started acting weirdly and then Haruhime-chan came with us...

Bell : I'm a big idiot... I should have realised her fidgeting back then was not because she joined us... But something else...

Murmuring to himself, he failed to notice two orcs behind him and smashed their clubs in his back sending him flying as blood flowed from his clothes...

One of the clubs had spiked severely hurting him in the process...

He struggle to get up, as he wanted to help Lily from her burdens which he failed to notice earlier...

He started thinking about his situation and he knew without weapons or some kind of potion easing his mind down only one result was there for him...Death!!!

However just as he was about to cast his magic and betting his luck of not going down...

Dust after dust were raised in front of him meaning behind the army of Orcs accompanied by screams...

Bell was shocked that someone decided to help him and yelled as he runner on the stairway that went up...

Bell : THANKS FOR SAVING ME....MY NAME IS BELL CRANEL... I'll MAKE SURE TO REPAY YOU IN THE FUTURE...

Just as his voice was drifted towards the source of commotion, a pure dark red-haired girl.... with a normal built similar to Ais but a tiny bit taller, her hair reaching till her waist, while her skin was flawlessly white...

Waved her jade-white cream hands and all orca became PooF in an instant...

??? : Yaaaawwwwnnnn....

??? : I was ready to kill those that waked me up... But then I smelled a familiar scent and turns out it was the boy named Bell...

??? : If I didn't intervened now he would have died from going in mind zero...

GRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOWWWLLLL!!!!

??? : Ugh... I'm hungry... I hope he repays with a tone of food...
