(A/N: A heads up readers, writers, and followers, I have made changes in the harem, and they stay that way cause a lot of thinking so far for this.)

At the hestia familia mansion, everyone is discussing what happened with the incident past two days ago, and well, it happened by zeni being embarrassed as natsu is laughing at him.

Natsu: Oh boy, you almost got beat by a monkey, man the irony. Said with a smile while laughing.

This zeni is annoyed even more and glare at natsu.

Zeni: For your information, natsu, that monkey got powered up when I knocked its ass down. It caught me by surprise, I'll admit, but at least I won. Said with an annoyed look.

Hollow: True, however, if it wasn't for my power, that is. Said in this his mind.

This made zeni a bit annoyed.

Natsu: True, but you still almost lost against it, I can imagine the wolf boy brags you almost lost. Said with a grin.

This made zeni get a tick mark on his head.

Zeni: THAT'S IT!!!. Yelled with an angered look.

Suddenly, he tackles the pink hair kid and leads to a brawl, which Ban Lubbock and bikou are along with gray, and surprisingly, Inuyasha joins in.

Everyone else sighs at this, knowing full well.

Ikki: Should we do something?. said with a calm look.

Tatsumi: Hell no, I don't want to drag myself into that. Said with a serious look.

Toshiro: Don't ask me. They started it. Said with an annoyed look.

Arthur, itachi, Naofumi, and raphtalia are just drinking tea without a care in the world.

Deku just came in to say something but see a brawl going on and everyone else watching.

He decided on the right thing and went to his room, not wanting to get involved in this too.

Meanwhile, in hestia's room.

She, along with (y/n), are with Bell to check on his status, which they see is quite surprising.

Hestia: His abilities have reached higher than before. Said with a serious look.

(Y/N) agreed with her seeing a high chance that the fire bolt would appear soon.

Y/N: Indeed, and especially with what I told you, hestia. Said with a serious look.

She nodded of understanding on the situation at hand.

They look at the young man who is nervous.

Y/N: Your abilities have grown after the battle against the monster two days ago. It looks like you're ready for floor six and seven. Said with a smile.

This made him happy to hear that and raised his hand.

Y/N: Don't get too excited, Bell. You have been training well with all of us, but that does not mean you're stronger than all of us. Said with a serious look.

He nodded of understanding with a determined look.

Bell: I will train even harder to reach that height, count on it, captain. Said with a determined look.

This made (y/n) smile at this he's glad the young boy is getting better than canon.

Suddenly, they all heard a crash sound and then a sound that a metal fist hit something.

Erza: WILL YOU IMBECILES STOP THIS NONSENSE FOR GODS SAKE, AND CLEAN UP THE MESS!!!!!. Yelled from the hall.

Zeni, ban, Lubbock, Inuyasha, bickou, gray, natsu: AYE!!!!. Screamed in sync.

This made (y/n) sigh at this while hestia is giggling at the situation and bell well he paled in fear.

Bell: Miss erza is really scary when she's mad. Said with a fear look.

Y/N: Oh trust me bell, that right there isn't all of her anger, that was a love tap, when she's really angry and I mean really angry well anyone better pray to all gods cause she won't show any mercy especially to the monsters. Said with a smile.

This made him shiver in fear at this and mental note to stay at her good side from now on.

Y/N: Now I'm going to the guild to talk with eina, see if she's available tomorrow to help you find a good armor. Said with a smile.

This gained his attention.

Y/N: With her help to find a good measurement for you to wear armor fit for you. Said with a smile.

This made him smile and nodded.

Skip the next day.

Both (y/n) and bell are by the statue waiting for eina.

Yesterday, he asked her to help with bell finding a good armor, which she gladly accepted much to the captains amusement cause of her love development for bell.

Eina: Hey guys, sorry for the wait. Said out of nowhere.

They look, and just as the captain suspected bell blush to see her wearing.

Y/N: Don't worry, we just arrived a minute ago. Said with a smile.

She smiled and looked at Bell as he cheeks glow pink a bit.

Eina: So bell, you ready. Said with a smile.

He nodded with a smile.

Then, the three of them walked towards the tower for shopping.

Once they reach the floor, they step out of the elevator and see a good fancy merchandise of equipments which bell is awe at this.

Eina: This is one of the top stores here in babel, even some of those hephaestus herself made it. Said with a smile.

(Y/N) looking around can't help but feel awed at this despite seeing it on television.

They began looking around as bell, seeing the expensive merchandise that he's awed.

Y/N: I'll admit this place is good and has good business. Said with a smile.

Eina: If I remember correctly, about three years ago that you and Lady hephaestus made a business partnership. Said with a smile.

He nodded to her.

Y/N: Indeed we did, despite being good business partners it does help out a lot for materials needed which why hephaestus request us to find it which that is our job in exchange for discount on repairs and buying the items we seek. Said with a smile.

She nods of understanding on this and great idea for his part.

Eina: Although it confuses me about something, every time hephaestus sees you, she gets nervous while looking around. Said with a curious look.

This he sighed, not blaming the poor blacksmith.

Y/N: My little brother. Said with a small smile.

This made her giggle.

But then they hear the door open and look to see the goddess herself.

Once she noticed them.

Hephaestus: Ah (y/n) good to see you again. Said with a smile.

Y/N: Likewise Lady hephaestus, I see you're going on break. Said with a smile.

She sighs and looks around while blushing a bit.

Hephaestus: Blame your little brother, every time I work that sneaky bastard always finds a way to sneak in, hell I can't stop this feeling like he's close somewhere and about to show up in any sec-. Before she could finish her sentence.

Suddenly, she eep because feeling her butt slap loudly and make her blush.

This surprised eina and Bell at what just happened but (y/n) facepalm at this.

Right behind the goddess is the person she was talking about.

Zeni: Hey hephi, I heard you talking about me, I know you missed my cuddles. Said with a grin.

This made her blush even more and a little annoyed.

Hephaestus: No, I don't like your cu-EEEP!!!. Said before she screams.

Suddenly, zeni hugs her while his faces are between her breasts, which made Bell and eina face red at that.

Zeni: Oh come on hephi, I know deep down you do, so how about a date just the two of us, and maybe if your up for it go to your bedroom and make you call me mas-. Before he could finish his sentence.

Suddenly, a fist hit his head so hard, which slam zeni to the floor.

Right behind is (y/n) who has his fist smoking by his strike to his little brother.

Zeni groaned at the pain and looked to see who the bastart did that.

Only to pale to see his older brother, who has his eyes glowing in rage.

Y/N: Zeni. Said with a serious look.

He whimpers to see that look, meaning there will be punishment.

Y/N: You know what happens next, don't you. Said with a serious look.

This made him pale and tries to run for his life keyword tries.

Only to be captured by (y/n)'s attack, some join the area of his body, making him paralyzed.

Y/N: Yeah you forgot I'm still faster than you little bro, so I'm guessing that you sneak out to escape cleaning the mess you and the others made and knowing erza she's about to arrive right n-. Before he could finish his sentence.

Erza: ZENIIIIII!!!!!!!. Yelled out of nowhere.

This made zeni pale in absolute fear as erza just showed up, and she's very furious.

Which made everyone so pale in fear, especially Bell and eina, who are trembling.

Hephaestus is shaking in fear at her fellow red head to be this well that she never expected this kind of female fury.

Hollow: For once in my life, I am so scared right now at that woman. How would it feel if she turned to a hollow. Said in his mind.

That is something that is so dangerous and beyond scary.

Erza grabs zeni and drags him out.

Erza: Sneak out of your punishment to come here, now you will clean the whole mansion by yourself and I'll ask mother to seal your abilities temporarily except you need a bit of speed and your jumping to reach the necessary height. Said with a serious look.

Zeni: NO PLEASE ANYTHING BUT THAT, BIG BRO HELP ME TALK YOUR WOMAN!!!. Yelled in fear.

Y/N: Sorry bro, once erza is like that, she's serious, and you deserve it. Said with a smile.

Zeni screams but then silences once the elevator door closes.

Everyone is shaking in fear except for (y/n), who knows full well to avoid erza's wrath, especially in bed activitie, to calm her down.

Hephaestus: Ok, never make her mad at all. Said with a nervous look.

Y/N: Don't worry, the only way that erza gets angry like that is by someone doing something stupid. Said with a smile.

Fenrir: Your mate holds no bounds to enforce the rules to anyone who dare breaks them. Said in his mind.

He bid his farewell to her and led eina and Bell to another elevator to go the floor that (y/n) knows full well.

Once they reached it and saw a district to see other adventurers with blacksmiths showing and telling about the equipment,

Eina explains this place a better price and for the beginner blacksmiths to use their skills to the test.

Once the three of them reached the place (y/n) knows is where welf made the armor.

Bell went to take a look around to see anything interesting.

(Y/N) looks around and then notices something that gets his attention looking some bracers.

Once he looks closely, he widens his eyes in shock to see these bracers.

Y/N: Can't be. Said with a shocked look

He can't believe it. The bracers are like the same.

Y/N 'whisper': How did they end up here?. said with a shocked look.

He inspect them and well detail it is.

Eina noticed it and smiled.

Eina: Good eye, those bracers are quite rare here. Said with a smile.

This gained his attention.

Y/N: Who made this?. said with a curious look.

Eina: That is unknown. Unfortunately, some adventurers found it by the dungeon, but any tries to wear it, nothing happens at all, but good defense for your wrist. Said with a curious look.

This made him narrow his eyes and look at the price and see the total is one thousand valis.

Something tells him to buy it and see for himself.

Then they see bell coming back with a metal peace of an armor, but something is different about it, which confuses him.

Y/N: Where did you find that bell?. said with a curious look.

Bell: I found it in a box. Once I saw it, I felt like something was meant for me. Said with a smile.

The captain smiled at him.

Y/N: Did you read who made that?. said with a curious look.

He nodded.

Bell: Yeah, it is someone named lisbeth crozzo. Said with a smile.

This got (y/n) surprised once again.

Y/N 'thought': So lisbeth is here too, well she's a good blacksmith but being welf younger sister I can take a guess, looks like bell will face an overprotective older brother. Said in his mind with an interested look.

Later.

The three of them left the tower after buying the items they wanted.

Eina gave Bell equipment for defense, which is fitting for him, and said his thanks to her.

Now, both boys headed back home until they heard something, which Bell quickly rushed to see what's going on.

(Y/N) narrowed his eyes, knowing who was there, and walked towards where Bell headed.

Which didn't take long to see Bell against an adventurer and has the certain prum on the ground.

Adventure: What a ridiculous reason to die. Said with a serious look.

Y/N: I wouldn't do that if I were you. Said with a serious look.

This gained his attention and paled in fear to see (y/n) whos glaring at the bastard with great fury.

Y/N: You know your place fool, and walk away now. Said with a serious look.

This he quickly runs away in fear, knowing he doesn't stand a chance.

Once he's gone, (y/n) looks at Bell, who's looking around for the girl.

Y/N: You alright, Bell?. said with a neutral look.

He nodded.

Bell: Where did she go?. said with a curious look.

(Y/N) glances at where she actually is.

Y/N: Don't worry about it, Bell, she's just shy and will thank you later. Said with a neutral look.

Later at night.

(Y/N) in his room with hestia and zeni about the bracers he bought, and let's just say zeni is very nervous right now.

Zeni: God's let it not be true. Said with a nervous look.

Hestia: What is it, something should I know about these bracers to be important from your world?. said with a questionable look.

Y/N: It's not that hestia. We know about these bracers, but what makes me worry is something my world made from a book and a movie long ago. Said with a concern look.

This concerned her and worried about it.

Y/N: Zeni, tomorrow you go with Bell to the six, and if he's ready for the seventh floors of the dungeon, I'm going with Erza and merlin to investigate in deeper floors. Said with w serious look.

This made zeni sigh at this, knowing his brother needed to investigate this.

Zeni: Alright, I'll do it, and big bro, I really, and I mean really hope that it's not coming to that. Said with a concern look.

He nodded of understanding and looked at hestia, who was very worried for her boyfriend.

Y/N: I'll be fine, hestia, but this is something that I must investigate, and hopefully, it's nothing ok. Said with a smile.

She nodded of understanding and hoped nothing would happen.

The next day.

(Y/N), along with Erza and merlin, left early in the morning to investigate the dungeon floors while zeni went with Bell, Arthur, and Toshiro to the floors to see how bell progress so far.

Erza: (Y/N) I know this is sudden, but why the three of us going down to the lower floors of the dungeon?. said with a curious look.

Y/N: We're just going to check on the floors ten through fifteen for today and head back. Said with a serious look.

This gained their attention.

Merlin: Ummm, love, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but it will take us about four to five days to do all that and why you want to finish it today?. said a curious look.

He can understand her words and glances at the mage.

Y/N: The reason I brought you here is to use your spell to check any movement that is not human, I just want to check if nothing has reached close to the surface. Said with a neutral look.

This made Merlin understand that instead of going through the floors, she can use her magic to detect it from there and check for any unusual movements.

Y/N: By then, we return home tonight, so be on your guard. Understand. Said with a neutral look.

The two of them nodded and continued on to the deeps of the dungeon.

Back with zeni.

Zeni is going well so far with how bell who is wearing his armor.

(A/N: Ignore the sword.)

He's interacting with lili, who they just met her this morning at first arthur and Toshiro want to interfere, but zeni told them not to at all and focus on their work.

Arthur: Zeni, if you don't mind me asking, what is the captain gotten so worried when he got those bracers?. said with a curious look.

Toshiro: I'm quite curious as well. The way he looked at those was concerned and fear in his eyes. Said with a curious look.

He sighed at this and looked at them.

Zeni: Listen, guys, I'm not sure myself, but trust my big bro of his judgment, better safe than sorry as they say cause I'm concerned as well when he bought those. Said a serious look.

The two of them nod of understanding to their friend and can't doubt their captain to be cautious and investigate the truth of the matter personally.

Now, the three of them decided to head back now cause it is getting late.

At another location deep of the dungeon.

Merlin, using his magic to cast a wide area, investigate any part of it, even the smallest cracks.

Once she's done, she looks at her captain and shakes her head.

This means nothing on this floor.

Erza: This is the fifteenth floor investigated, and nothing just like the others, are you certain of this beloved. Said with a curious look.

Y/N: Erza, the reason to go through those floors is to check if there is an activity, nothing else, meaning that it must be deeper. Said with a neutral look.

Fenrir: I can see why, though, and be cautious about it. Said in his mind.

The two girls know what he's talking about.

Merlin: So the reason is to check is not close to the surface, isn't it?. said with a questionable look.

He nodded to her.

Y/N: I can relax just a little since nothing is here, but we can't let our guard down. Said with a neutral look.

They nodded of understanding and decided to head back by merlin using a teleporter spell back to the first floor.

Once they left the dungeons and went back to the city to head home while the certain goddess Freya noticed (y/n) leaving which her cheeks got pink while sighing seeing him again.

Especially at the display of power he did three days ago.

Freya: I want to see more of that power to be unleashed. Said with a small smirk.

Then she had an idea and went to her bookshelves and got a book and go for some pages.

Until finding what she wanted.

Freya: Perhaps it's time for him to gain a strong weapon. Said with a smirk.

At the hestia familia mansion.

(Y/N) seated in his room looking through the maps of the floor he went on today while zeni drinking.

Zeni: Bro, again, why go through those floors, which I know there's nothing but monsters. Said with a neutral look.

Y/N: Now this is why I'm the captain and Naofumi, the vice captain. You're not thinking about why I went those floors. Said with a neutral look.

This made him confused, and then (y/n) shows zeni the map of the floors ten to fifteen.

Y/N: For example, zeni, if you were a monster, a smart one, in fact, how can you win a fight in these floors to take over. Said with a serious look.

This made him think and look at the map as he's thinking of how he wants to take over a dungeon.

That's when his eyes widened in concerned which his older brother noticed.

Y/N: Yep, little brother, the reason I went to those floors because of their strategic positions is the reason for my concern. Said with a serious look.

This made zeni gulp at this.

Zeni: So we can relax then. Said with a smile.

Y/N: For now. Said with a serious look.

Then the door opens and is revealed to be hestia.

Hestia: Hey, you two. I wanted to check on you. Said with a smile.

They loom at her.

Y/N: It's alright, hestia. I know that you're trying to find ways to spend time with me. Said with a smile.

This made her blush and zeni grin.

Zeni: Bro, take her to a date. Said with a grin.

This got them surprised, and hestia blushing like mad.

The captain was about to say something, but his little brother won't let let him.

Zeni: Bro, I know this is concerning, but we got this second chance in life here and enjoy it, for the past five years of peace, despite it isn't with arrogant assholes. Said with a grin.

This made (y/n) chuckle in amusement seeing his point.

Y/N: Alright, but I'll send Naofumi and anyone who can go with him to check the sixteen to twenty floor of the dungeon can't be too careful. Said with a smile.

This made hestia so happy to hear that.

The next day.

Hestia went early to the temple baths to be ready for her date with (y/n).

She can't believe it herself that a date is happening today and she will try to have the best one of her life.

???: Ara, you look a good mood, hestia. Said to her left.

She looks to see her friend demeter herself.

Demeter: I never see you this happy like ever. Said with a smile.

Hestia smiles at this and can't help herself, which the goddess noticed.

Demeter: Tell me, is it a date?. said with an interest look.

Hestia: Yes, it is a date. Said with a smile and a blush on her cheeks.

This gained her attention and everyone else asking her who was the lucky guy to date her.

Hestia giggles, knowing they will be extremely shocked.

Demeter: Come on, hestia, who is he?. said with an intrigued look.

Hestia: You know him all too well. After all, he's the captain of my Familia. Said with a smile and a pink blush.

This dropped the bomb as the whole bath stopped what they were doing, knowing who the person.

Girls: (Y/N) REDFOX!!, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!. Screamed in sync.

This made hestia giggle at their reaction while someone just seated beside her, which is revealed to be fubuki azuma.

Hestia: Hello, fubuki. Said with a smile.

Fubiki: Hello goddess hestia, it seems you finally get what you wanted after so many years. Said with a small smile.

Hestia noticed she's a bit sad and smiled at her.

Hestia: Oh, don't be so sad, fubuki, your time will come. Trust me. Said with a smile.

This made her smile as well and nodded.

But then hestia glared at demeter and the girls.

Hestia: Now I want to make this clear. I don't want any of you spying on me, and (y/n) got it, I want this date to be special, please. Said with a serious look.

They see she's serious about this and nod to her.

Later.

(Y/N) walking with hestia together to their date and hestia looking around to see no one of demeter friends which he noticed.

Y/N: Hestia, don't worry. I'm very certain that lady demeter got your message, and besides, I can sense her, and she's not near us at all. Said with a smile.

She looks at him with a smile.

Hestia: I know that, but I can't help it, you know. Said with a smile and a blush.

The two of them spend time together looking at the sites and luckily a place to eat together.

The citizens are awed to see the captain of the hestia familia dating the goddess herself.

Even though being jealous of how lucky either of them are.

The date went splendid, and as the moon rises, the two of them sit by the roof of the building, looking at the stars.

Hestia: This is the best date of my life. Thank you (y/n) for making me feel so special. Said with a smile.

He smiled at her.

Y/N: Anything for you, my dear goddess. Said with a smile.

The two of them look at each other's eyes as they lean close for their lips meet.

Hestia felt so happy to be here and for the one she loves.

Later.

The two of them returned back and saw Bell excited for a moment.

This must mean it is time to check his skills again, which didn't take long to see he has now fire bolt.

And knowing the kid wants to test that out.

Which secretly (y/n) and zeni followed him to the dungeon as he unleashed his skills at the monsters.

It impressed them to see Bell taking them out easily.

Only for an hour more he passed out being exhausted using it too much.

Y/N: Impressive. Said with a smile.

Zeni: Yeah, but did you notice the fire bolt gotten stronger the last time we saw it. Said with a curious look.

He nodded, meaning another butterfly effect of his attack growing quickly.

Then they hear footsteps to see riveria, ais, asuna, alice and riverias Cousin ellenor.

Riveria: (Y/N) and zeni. Said with a surprise look.

Y/N: Lady riveria, it seems you five are exploring. Said with a smile.

Alice eep again, which zeni hugs her while ellenor glares at him.

Ellenor: Zeni, for the last time, stop doing t-Eeeep. Said with an annoyed look and scream.

He just disappeared from Alice and hugs ellenor as well as she's his favorite character in the other show.

Zeni: Oh, don't be like that, ellenor dear, how about I show you a good ti-. Before he could finish his sentence.

Suddenly (y/n) hit his head, knocking the idiot out.

Y/N: Sorry about that, you know how he is. Said with an annoyed look.

Riveria: It's fine, and I see that young bell is unconscious. Did something happen?. said with a little concern look.

Y/N: He unlocked his magic ability known as the fire bolt, a fire base attack, and a good one, too. He's been going on attacking them all night. Said with a smile.

Then he grabs both unconscious boys and turns to walk away.

Y/N: Take care, ladies, and hopefully, our paths cross again. Said with a smile.

Once he left, Ais couldn't help but feel something was wrong with him, which riveria noticed.

Riveria: Something wrong ais?. Said with a curious look.

Ais: (Y/N) is afraid, I saw a glimpse of it in his eyes. Said with a neutral look.

This gained their attention.

Alice: Oh, come on, how can that be (y/n) we are talking about who isn't afraid of anything. Said with a curious look.

Ellenor: But I can see her point, and I saw he's wearing those bracers, the ones shaping like trees. Said with a curious look.

This gained their attention and thought about those bracers since they're not very usable.

Meanwhile, further down the dungeon.

Naofumi, along with merlin, raphtalia, and bikou, are leaving the twentieth floor.

Bikou: Seems nothing as well, huh? Said with an annoyed look.

Raphtalia: Enough with the attitude bikou, you know it's the captains orders. Said with a serious look.

Bikou: But come on, how can he be worried about some bracers he bought?. said with an annoyed look.

Naofumi: It's because of the design and appearance of it bikou, if you stop thinking so much of that overconfident of yours so much. Said with a serious look.

Naofumi knows full well why (y/n) and zeni are afraid after all he knows full well.

As they leave the forest area of the dungeon, suddenly wind blow over at the trees as one of its leaf falls to the bottomless chasm.

It falls for so long, not knowing when it will end up to the ground and that it feels like a day or more as it continues to fall.

Until the bottom of it as it surroundings are so dark.

Until a metal boot so dirty crush it and hear a growling of a creature before disappeared into the darkness.
