No one's POV

In a dark cave, over the other side of Orario, in a ruin, could be seen over multiple burning of dead bodies, and a gigantic monster and one single girl was on the verge of tears as she saw her allies dead and her Familia flag burnt to nothingness as she saw the monster let out a ferocious roar and she mutter some words.

???: Please save me, My Orion!!

Hestia POV

Long ago... we gods descended to this lower world that our children live in, seeking new experiences. And we decide to live in this lower world forever with them. With our divine power locked away, our lives wouldn't be as easy or convenient, but we vowed to live happily. Some sought for prosperity, and some sought after heroes.

No ones's POV

A person with blue hair could be seen standing at the outer world of Orario, and she continue to looked at the sky, seemingly looking for something, or someone.

???: And...some sought after "Salvation".

It was morning and the day of the Holy Moon Festival, as our Heroes, Sora, Bell, and Rin were getting ready for another day of adventure.

Sora: Man...for some reason, I don't feel like going out today...

Rin: Alright, quit complaining! Let's get fired up before the festival tonight!

Sora just sighed and Bell just laugh at the two until they heard a sudden scream from Hestia.

Hestia: Wha...?! What time is it?! I'm late for work! Why didn't you wake me up, Bell, Sora, Rin?!

Rin: We all did...

Bell: Several times actually.

Sora: But you just when back to sleep.

The three of them started to head out until Hestia called out to them.

Hestia: Oh, and Bell, Sora, Rin. Do your best...all three of you.

Hestia gave a thumbs up...and the three of them gave a thumbs back at her and smiled, and the three of them ran out of the church and head towards the dungeon, as they were running, they were all greeted by some civilians and kids wishing them good luck. After the three of them made it to the main street, they went to the hostess of fertility and was greeted by Syr.

Bell: Syr!

Sora: Good morning!

Rin: Nice to see you again!

Syr: Here, have your lunch for today.

Sry then gave three bento box, for Sora, Bell, and Rin, and they took it.

Bell: Thank you.

They all then heard a noise from the inside of the pub and saw Arnya complaining about Ryuu missing.

Sora: Is Ryuu out?

Syr: Yeah, I don't know where she is...Do you know anything about her whereabouts, Sora?

Sora: No, not at all...

Rin: We haven't heard anything from her...

Syr: I see...

Syr looked down saddened and Sora comforts her.

Sora: Hey it's alright, if I see her, I'll tell her that you were looking for her.

Syr: Thank you.

Sora: No problem!

Rin: Well see you!

All three of them continued their way to the dungeon, and during the way, they stumble upon Eina carrying a box.

Sora: Miss Eina!

Bell: Good morning!

Rin: Can we help you!

Eina saw them running towards her and she smiled at them.

Eina: Oh, Bell, Sora, Rin.

Bell: What are you up to, Miss Eina?

Eina: I'm preparing for tonight's festival. What about you three? Off to the dungeon?

Rin: Yes!

Eina: Take care! Especially you, Bell. Adventurer should...

Before she could finished her sentence, Bell spoke up.

Bell: ...not be to adventurous...

Eina: Huh?

Bell: I know that already!

Bell then ran ahead leaving Sora, Rin and Eina.

Rin: He sure is energetic!

Sora: I'll take good care of him!

Eina: You better! He's so reckless...

The three of them continued their way to the dungeon and met up with Lili and Welf at the front of Babel.

Bell: Lili! Welf!

Welf: Oh, their here.

Lili: Master Bell. Master Sora. Rin...

Rin: Sorry to keep you both waiting.

Welf: Then let's...

Lili: Shall we head off?

Bell: Yeah...

They all looked at Babel and smiled.

Sora: To the dungeon!

(Timeskip)

After they all made their way to the dungeon, they all started killing some monster at the 12th floor, with Bell killing multiple monster, and he saw multiple monster slip past him.

Bell: Welf!

Welf: Lemme handle this!

Welf then slashed the monster killing it and he heard Lili voices telling him to get down, as she fired multiple arrow at the oncoming enemy. Sora then went ahead and slashed some monsters on his own with Kanshou, but everyone could saw that Sora was not his usual self, and let his guard down, that he didn't notice multiple Al' Miraj atacking him from behind but,

Rin then summoned a sword made out of thunder and electrocuted the last remaining monster.

Rin: Sword of the Lighting God!!

Rin then looked at Sora annoyed.

Rin: What's up with you? You've been acting weird ever since this morning?

Lili: You never let your guard down before like that, Master Sora!

Bell: Is something wrong, Sora?

Welf: If there's anything we can help, just say it.

Sora just smiled at them.

Sora: Sorry guys, didn't mean to worried you guys like that. Is just that, I don't even know myself. Is like that, there's something that I needed to do.

Bell: Well, if you need help, just ask.

Sora: Right!

Lili: Oh. By the way, Master Bell, Master Sora. Are you going to tonight's festival?

Bell: Yep, we're planning on to.

Lili: Then, let me join you!

Bell: Of course.

Rin: What about you, Welf?

Welf: Well...let's earn some extra money first.

Bell: Right!

Rin: I like the sound of that!

Lili: I second your plan.

They all then see some monster spawning and they readied themselves and lunged at them, and Sora continued to hold his chest.

Sora(mind): What is this, that I'm feeling? I feel like, a God or Goddess, or someone special has just fallen. Or someone who had just awoken from a deep slumber.

(Timeskip)

Later that night, everyone headed to the festival and saw all the different stall and they looked surprised.

Hestia: Wow! This is amazing!

Rin: Sorry, for the wait!

Everyone then saw Rin and she was wearing a Yukata and they looked at her in awe.

Lili: Wow...

Bell: Beautiful...

Rin: Thank you, Sora picked it for me. What do you think, Sora?

Sora just smiled at her.

Sora: You look terrific.

Rin smiled at him and had a blushed on her face and all 6 of them started wandering through the festival.

Lili: This is your first Holy Moon Festival, right?

Lili looked at the Hestia Familia members.

Hestia: Holy Moon Festival?

Lili: Yes. This is traditional celebration that dates back before the God's descent.

Welf: I remember now... Isn't this about sending prayers to the moon Goddess for our protection?

Hestia: So this is another Lower World tradition.

Bell: That's so Orario.

Sora: They all pray for their protection form evil.

Hestia: Bell! Let's go eat some Takoyaki!

Hestia then pulled Bell into a Takoyaki stall and Lili looked at them annoyed and the rest just smile.

Rin: Sora! Come one, buy me some Apple Candy Stick!

Sora: Alright, alright...

Rin pulled Sora into some Apple Candy Stick stall, and as everyone continued to enjoy them, they all heard Hermes on stage announcing something.

Hermes: Friends, lend me your ear! Listen if you stand far. Watch if you stand close! Call out your name if you think you've got what it takes! Now! Which intrepid Hero will pull this spear free!

They all went and saw Hermes on stage.

Hestia: What is he up to...?

Hermes: This Legendary Spear can only be freed by the chosen one, who will be blessed by the very Goddess of Purity! Not only that!

They all saw a spear was trapped in ice and Hermes pulled out a piece of paper.

Hermes: He or She will also be invited to a grand trip around the world! A trip officially approved by the Guild!

Everyone then cheered, while Sora and the others looked skeptical.

Welf: A legendary spear, he said?

Rin: It sounds like a scam...

Lili: Lord Hermes is up to no good...Again...

Sora continued to looked at the spear and was lost in thought by the power it was unleashing.

Sora(mind): That spear! It feels like Kanshou and Bakuya! Is it a divine weapon?

Hestia:  But it sounds fun. Let's try, Bell, Sora, Rin!

Sora: I'm down with it!

Bell: Um, Okay.

Rin: But I'm wearing a Yukata!

Lefiya: Let us try too, Miss Aiz, Miss Asuna.

Aiz: Okay...

They all looked to the side and saw Lefiya, Aiz and Asuna standing besides them, and they also noticed Sora and the others, and both Lefiya and Hestia pointed at one another.

Hestia and Lefiya: HUH?!!

Hestia: W-Wallenwhatsit...! Asuwhatsit...!

Lefiya: Goddess Hestia...

Lefiya then glared at Bell.

Lefiya:...and Bell Cranel! And hey Mister Sora...

Sora: Yo!

Sora looked at Asuna and smiled at her and saw she was wearing a Yukata and Sora looked at her blushing and she blushed back and looked away.

Asuna: Stop staring! It's embarrassing...

Sora: Sorry...you just look so beautiful, Asuna...

Asuna smiled at him and was about to hold his hand when Hestia pinched Sora's ear and pulled him away, while pushing Bell as well, and Lefiya pushed both Asuna and Aiz.

Sora: OOOWWW!!!

Lefiya: Miss Aiz! Miss Asuna! We can't lose this fight to the likes of them!

Asuna: Uhh...

Aiz: Um...Okay...

Hestia: Bell! Sora! This is our Familia's honor!

Bell: Eh...Um... I don't know if this really about that...

Rin, Lili, and Welf just sighed and the sight and both Sora and Asuna looked at one another and just sighed as well.

Sora and Asuna(mind): What a tough relationship!

They all started one by one, and saw all the other adventures trying to pulled the spear.

Hermes: Now! Who's the next challenger?

Lefiya then raised her hand.

Lefiya: That's me!

Lefiya tried to pulled the spear, but automatically failed.

Lefiya: Owww... No, it doesn't move an inch...

Hermes: Ouch! Isn't that too fast to give up now, Lefiya? Now, next...

Lefiya then went down the stage and Aiz started walking up the stage.

Hermes: Oh, that's...! Renowned Sword Princess! Aiz Wallenstein is on stage!

Bell, Sora, Rin, and Asuna clapped their hand rooting for her.

Lefiya: Come on Miss Aiz!

Asuna: You can do it!

Sora: Go get em...!

Hermes: Witness the power of Sword Princess! Go, Aiz Wallenstien!

Aiz tried to pull the spear, but couldn't pull it out and eventually gave up.

Aiz: No... I can't...

Lefiya and Asuna looked surprised.

Asuna: Really...?

Lefiya: N-No... It can't be... even by Aiz, the level 6 adventurer?

Hestia: Good! Bell, pay back time! Prove you're better than Wallenwhatsit!

Lili: Do your best, Master Bell!

Welf: Enjoy!

Rin: You can do it!

Sora: Good luck!

Lefiya looked annoyed and scoffed away.

Lefiya: No way. A level 2 adventurer will never...

Asuna: Hey don't be like that...

Hermes: Now, the next challenger is...

Hermes then saw Bell walked up the stage.

Hermes: You're next, Bell?

Bell: Yes. Thanks for letting me on stage.

Bell then grabbed the spear.

Hermes: It's Little Rookie!

Bell then pulled the spear, and he heard a voice that Sora overhear as well.

???: I found you...

Bell: Huh?

Sora(mind): That voice...

The spear suddenly started glowing and the ice shattered and Bell fell to the ground and looked at the spear along with Asuna and Sora as the two of them narrow their eyes.

Asuna: Sora...is that...?

Sora: Yeah...is a divine weapon alright.

Hermes(mind): Of course... destiny would choose you...

Hestia came running in and hugged Bell tightly and the other adventurers started cheering.

Hestia: Yipeee! You've done it, Bell!

Aiz: Bell... Amazing...

Welf: Wow. He really did it.

Asuna: To think he actually pull it.

Rin: Impressive...

Sora: That's Bell for you...

Lili then looked at Lefiya smirking.

Lili: Heh... Did you see that?

Lefiya gritted her teeth due to Bell managed to pull it off.

Lefiya: No way!

Hestia started bragging about Bell's greatness and Bell continued to looked at the spear, and Hermes held his arm and helped him up.

Hermes: Congratulation, Bell.

Bell: I-I don't understand... I didn't really did anything...

Hermes: Well then, let me introduce the sponsor that made this world trip possible.

Bell: Sponsor...?

Everyone looked behind the crowd and saw a Goddess with blue hair smiling and Sora, Asuna and Hestia recognized her.

Asuna: No way...!

Sora: Your kidding...!

Hestia: Artemis?! Is that you, Artemis?!

Bell: Do you two know each other?

Hestia: We were friends in Heaven! My Best Friend! Artemis!

Hestia ran towards Artemis, and she did the same, but Artemis ran past Hestia shocking her

and Artemis ran to the stage and hugged Bell surprising him along with everyone.

Artemis: I found you! My Orion!

Lili: Ori...

Welf:...on...?

Rin: What's that?

Hermes, Sora just chuckles at the scene and Hestia who was hugging air looked back and saw Artemis hugging Bell, and she looked completely shocked.

Hestia: Mhm...?

Bell started blushing due to Artemis hugging him.

Bell: Wha...?

Hestia: Wh-Wh-Wha...?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Asuna(mind): Karma for ruining my moment with Sora!

(Timeskip)

Later that night, back at the church, Hestia was still looking at Artemis upset due to her hugging Bell.

Hestia: What were you thinking, Artemis?!

Artemis: I'm sorry. I was really glad to see him. And I'm glad to see you again, Sora...

Sora: Long time no see...Lady Artemis...

Rin: You know her...?

Sora: Yeah...I met her during my journey, me and her leader Rethusa were great friends.

Hestia: That aside, what do you mean Glad?!

Bell: G-Goddess Artemis...we haven't met before, right? Um...?

Artemis just stare at him and Hestia looked at Hermes.

Hestia: Hermes!! Is that the Artemis I know?! No way!

Hermes: I guess Artemis decided to blend in with other people in this Lower world.

Hestia: S-She can't possibly...

Lili: So what was she like before?

Hestia: Artemis is one of the Heaven's virgin Goddess. She is sworn to purity and cherishing virtue. Simply put, she is absolutely Anti-Romance. One of the most Anti-Romantic person I've ever known.

Bell, Rin, Lili, Welf: Anti-Romance...

Sora just chuckles.

Sora: Then I guess you've change.

Hestia: How did she end up like this?!

Lili: So, how come Anti-Romance Goddess ended up sponsoring this event?

Hermes: Actually, a monster appeared outside of Orario.

Rin: Outside of Orario?

Hermes: yeah, the Artemis Familia found it, and it's giving them a hard time. So she came here to ask for help...

Welf: So...the grand trip is just...

Rin: A monster quest Goddess Artemis issued?

Lili: You should have said it in the first place.

Hermes: Right, you have a good intuition!

Welf: I knew this was too good to be true...

Lili: That's a fraud, Lord Hermes!

Hermes: Relax now...

Artemis then grabbed the spear and walked over to Bell and everyone looked at her.

Artemis: I've been looking for you, Orion.

Bell: N-No, I'm Bell Cranel...

Artemis: No, you are Orion. My hope.

Bell: Why me? There's stronger adventurers, like Sora...

Artemis: I know...I'm asking for his strength as well, the strength of his Kanshou and Bakuya, but it's not the strength that the spear has chosen you for.

Sora: That spear that she's holding Bell. Is a divine weapon just like Kanshou and Bakuya. And only someone with a pure soul could break that ice just now.

Hermes: Correct, this is a legendary spear! Even Hephaestus swear by it's quality! And the spear has chosen you, Bell!

Bell then grabbed the spear from Artemis.

Bell: Chosen... by the spear...

Artemis then cupped Bell's cheeks.

Artemis: I want you to come with me, Orion, pure soul and all..

Artemis then looked at Sora and cupped his cheeks as well.

Artemis: Sora...I need your help as well. The power of your legendary Kanshou and Bakuya!

Sora: If you need me this badly, that means this monster that we're facing must be someone at my caliber.

Artemis: Yes...that's why...will you come with me as well...?

Before Sora could answer, Artemis was suddenly Head-Butt by Hestia and the two of them fell to their knees holding their heads in pain.

Artemis: That hurt, Hestia.

Hestia: That hurt me, too!

Artmis started caressing Hestia forehead.

Artemis: Are you alright...?

Hestia: Th-Thanks... No! Back on topic! Artemis, we'll take your quest!

Bell: G-Goddess?!

Hestia smiled at Artemis and gave her a thumbs up.

Hestia: I'll do anything for my dear friend!

Artemis then hugged Hestia tightly.

Artemis: Thank you, Hestia! Thank you...

Hestia just blush and looked away.

Hestia: I don't want you three to be alone together, anyway... That's too risky...

Lili: Then, I'm coming, too! Of course, you'll be paying for this later!

Welf: Welp, do I have a choice?

Rin: We got your back, Bell, Sora.

Sora: Of course I'll help! And I want to see Rethusa again...

Artemis looked down saddened that didn't got unnoticed by Sora, and before he could ask, Hermes spoke up.

Hermes: So, Bell. Now, it's all up to you... You already have your answer, don't you?

Bell looked at everyone smiling at him and he smiled back.

Bell: Okay, I will take your quest.

Artemis looked at everyone and smile.

Artemis: Thank you, all of you. You're not in my Familia, but you will be my comrades for this journey. Let us take a vow.

Artemis held her hand for Bell and he looked confused.

Sora: Bell, kiss her hand.

Bell: Ah, I-I'm sorry...

Bell then kissed Artemis hand and both Hestia and Lili looked annoyed until she realized something and went to kiss Artemis hand as well.

Lili(mind): Wait! Isn't this...?! An indirect kiss with Master Bell...?

As Lili was about to kiss Artemis hand, Welf grabbed her hand and looked at Lili.

Welf: Hurry up, Lil Lili.

Welf then kissed Artemis hand and Lili looked at him annoyed and started kicking him. Rin then came to Artemis and kiss her hand as well, and Artemis looked at Sora smiling and he smiled at her and grabbed her hand and got on one knee.

Sora: It will be an honor to fight by your side once again, Lady Artemis. And just like before, I will be your sword...and shield on this journey.

Everyone was surprised by Sora's honorableness and Artemis just smile at him and Sora kissed her hand. As soon as Sora kissed her hand, his eyes widened as he realized something and looked at Artemis, but Hermes interrupt him before he could ask her.

Hermes: Now, all is settled. Let's get going!

Everyone: Huh?!

Everyone was then led to the outer walls of Orario and they were given a new set of cloths and armor.

A/N: This is Rin new cloths...

A/N: And this is Sora new cloths.

Hermes: What do you think? These outfits are custom made by the renowned travel specialist...me! Carefully selected materials allow them to be light yet flexible. Their fibers consist of a fair amount of rare metals...These are now 30% more durable that the past models! But it's only battle cloth, you say? No-no... It can be as though as armor... It's suppleness never prevents the movements of its wearer! Who can prepare such quality clothes in only few hours? You know who... Me, Hermes...

Hermes looked back and saw that no one was listening to him.

Hermes: No one's listening...

Sora: I'm listening...

Rin: Me as well...

Hermes looked at Sora and Rin happily and started tearing up.

Hermes: Thank you both! You truly do understand me...!

Sora and Rin: Uh...

Sora: Though, I kinda wish you don't put this spike armor on the side...it's not really comfortable.

Rin: Well it looks great...but mine is a bit extravagant...like this is more of a witch costume rather than a mages...

Sora: It suits you...you look beautiful...

Rin just smiled at him and had a blushed on her face and walked to the others.

Lili: Are you taking a Magic Swords, Master welf?

Welf:Mhm? Yeah, just in case...

Bell: But, why are we on top of the wall when we are heading outside of Orario...?

Lili: Who knows...

Hestia: Artemis.

Artemis who was looking outside of Orario looked back when Hestia called out to her.

Hestia: You know anything about it?

Artemis: Um, no...

Heatis: Hermes, what's the plan now?

Hermes: Oh, here they come.

Hermes said while looking at the sky, and everyone looked up and saw 4 dragon and saw Ganesha from one of the Dragon as he dropped down startling Hestia.

Hestia: G-Ganesha?!

Ganesha: Yes! I am Ganesha!

Hestia: So we are riding on this?

Hermes: Yep, I asked Ganesha for his help. It'll take over a month to get there on foot, but this will only take 10 days! I need to get back there as soon as possible, or Asfi won't be happy...

Sora(mind): I could literally run across the earth in less than 30 minutes... if I'm at my full speed that is...and I could also go back in time, if I'm fast enough...but they don't need to know that...

Everyone started playing with the dragons and Welf spoke up.

Welf: Hey, you don't have enough dragon for us.

Ganesha: To be frank, I couldn't pull together enough of them!

Hermes: So, you'll need to ride two atop.

After Hestia heard the news, she wanted to ask Bell to partner up with her, but Bell had already partner up with Artemis...and Welf and Lili partner up, amd Sora and Rin, leaving her to partner up with Hermes much to her dismay. The Dragons then started flying and soon they were off.

Sora: Dragon...huh...?

Rin: This reminds me when you fought the two headed Dragon when it went rampage on Azbaya!

Sora: Yeah, that takes me back...

Rin then laid her head on Sora's chest and he looked surprised.

Rin: It's been awhile since we're together like this, I know that you already have Asuna, but please let me enjoy this moment with you as well.

Sora smiled at her and patted her head.

Sora: Sure...

The two of them hear a quarreling and saw Artemis is laying on Bell's chest, and Hestia was ticked of by her action.

Sora: Of course...

Rin: Goddess is jealous of Artemis...

Rin then called out the Hermes.

Rin: Lord Hermes... Where's our destination?

The Sun was then Rising giving off a beautiful view and everyone looked at it in awe.

Hermes: Our destination is...The Elsus Ruin, hidden in the great forest at the edge of the continent on the far side of Orario.
