During a mission outside of Orario

Bell has been assigned a mission for far outside of Orario, to a small city nearby a forest, about some thieves there in hiding that stole valuable material from the guild. Bell would’ve had the rest of his Familia join him, but the guild needed the remaining Hestia familia to stay to focus more on the Dungeon in Orario. So Bell decided to have Ryu be in charge of his familia until he gets back. This here takes place after the familia war with Freya Familia, when Hestia familia won and Ryu joined the Hestia Familia.

Bell: Ok. I’ll be back. Ryu, you’re in charge of the familia until I get back.

Ryu: Ok Bell. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of the others while you’re gone.

Ryu said giving Bell a gentle hug, making Bell smile and blush a little, but he also gave Ryu a hug. During the familia war, Ryu confessed her love to Bell, and sometime after that, Bell started developing feelings for Ryu too.

Bell: Hehe. I know you will, my Elf Captain. It’s too bad you guys can’t come with me, but you’re needed here.

Bell said as he grabs a bag with supplies and valis, which are basically money like coins. He was wearing his usual adventurer light armor, with his Hestia knife from the back and his other knife from his left hip.

Ryu: Ok. Be safe out there. And keep an eye out for those thieves. Who knows where they are in that town.

Bell: Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. See you and the others when I get back!

Bell said as he starts heading out of Orario to the small city.

After a few hours of traveling, Bell finally arrived at the small city, Swindleria.

Bell: So this is the small city Swindleria. Pretty big place here. Not as big as Orario, but not bad.

Bell said as he heads in the small city. What Bell is unaware of, is that there’s a reason this town was called “Swindleria”. It’s that it’s filled with clever sneaky thieves, and most of them are girls!
