"You're right, that must be the case."

Bell, who had recovered his strength, cheered himself up in front of Xier.

"The Goddess also told me to trust her. Now is not the time to feel depressed because of my weakness."

"Since my current strength is not as good as Takagi Akira, then as the leader of the Hestia clan, I have to work hard to catch up with him as soon as possible."

"I'm going to go train in the dungeon now."

After saying that, Beldesier waved his hand and ran towards the underground city with an energetic look on his face.

Xier, who was left on the street by Bell, covered her blushing cheeks with her hands and watched Bell go away, murmuring softly.

“That’s what I like even more.”

After leaving these words, Xier turned and left.

Even Bell himself probably didn't expect that he had just made up his mind, but after entering the dungeon for less than half a day, he came out of the dungeon with a tired look on his face.

There was no other way. Last night, the Soma clan had a big commotion because of Lily's matter. Bell, who had not had enough rest, wanted to catch up with Takagi Akira as soon as possible, so he ignored the physical consumption and kept killing monsters in the dungeon. As a result, Bell quit the dungeon just after noon due to lack of physical strength.

Bell came to the guild with a tired face and reported his latest exploration progress to Aegina. After hearing that Bell had gone deeper again, Aegina looked at Bell with a worried look on her face.

"Ha! Bell-kun, I've told you many times that you must act within your capabilities. You really don't take your life seriously. It's only been a few days, and you've already explored another level."

Aegina held Bell, whose mind was a little slow due to fatigue, and lectured him for a long time.

When Aegina's long sermon paused briefly due to dry mouth, Bell made a weak rebuttal.

"I'm not rash. I always remember what you told me. The level of the dungeon corresponds to the level of the LV1 adventurer's ability. I didn't go deeper until my ability reached that level."

"I don't believe it! I know you're anxious about your own strength after seeing your fellow clan member Gao Muming defeat the Minotaur alone. I can understand that you're worried that you're too weak and want to become stronger as quickly as possible, but that's not a reason for you to lie."

"I really didn't lie! I once promised Lord Kamishima that I would never go too far in order to level up. I only went down when my ability value really reached the requirements of the floor I went to."

Aegina looked at Bell with some suspicion, but when she saw Bell's sincere expression, she slowed down her tone.

"Please come with me. As your advisor, I need to confirm whether what you said is true."

In the small dark room of the guild, Aina looked at the Enhui on Bell's back with an incredible look on her face when she lifted up her shirt.

"It's incredible that the ability value has actually been reached. The speed of growth is too fast."

As she spoke, Aina looked at Bell with a serious expression.

"Bell-kun, your ability value has increased too much. You must not disclose your ability value to any other members of his clan."

"If other Families knew about your situation, your Hestia Familia, as a newly formed Familia, would be in a very difficult situation in Orario."

Even though he had been warned by Hestia and once again by Aegina because of the increase in his ability value, Bell finally felt that he was very special in Orario, a place where many adventurers gathered.

On the way back to the church after leaving the guild, Bell once again met Xier who was about to go out to throw away the garbage.

The moment she saw Bell, Xier's eyes lit up. She put down the work in her hands and dragged Bell into the rich hostess tavern.

After a conversation, Bell was a little dazed, holding the book that Seele lent him in one hand, which was said to be lost by a careless adventurer, and holding the garbage that Seele was going to throw away in the other hand, he left the rich hostess.

When Bell returned to the clan, he saw Gao Muming and Lily busy in the vegetable garden.

Seeing Bell come in, Gao Muming was a little surprised. He patted his dirt-stained hands and greeted Bell with great concern.

"Bell, what's wrong with your body? You're back so early."

Hearing Takagi Akira's concerned words, Bell scratched his head.

"I'm fine. I just didn't get enough rest last night. I felt a little tired while exploring and fighting, so I returned from the dungeon early in case something went wrong."

Hearing Bell's words, Lily stopped what she was doing and looked at Bell apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Master Bell, it's all because of Lily that I've caused you trouble."

Seeing Lily looking a little depressed, Bell quickly waved his hands to show that he didn't blame her.

Seeing that Lily still had an expression of self-blame on her face, Bell rolled his eyes and tried to find a topic to divert Lily's attention.

Looking at the newly reclaimed land by Gao Muming and Lily, Bell was delighted and quickly changed the subject.

"What are you busy planting? Let me help."

"Lily and I are planting herbs. We've already finished this field, so we don't need your help. Aren't you feeling tired? Come inside and get some rest."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Bell was stunned for a moment, and then made some strange sounds.

"Growing herbs? Didn't you say before that because there is little land available for planting in the clan, you need to understand the materials used to make medicines before planning the planting of herbs?"

"I haven't had time to learn about pharmaceutical manufacturing, but Lily knows."

"Really? You can actually make your own medicine, Lily you are amazing."

Hearing what Takagi Akira said, Bell subconsciously looked at Lily beside him. Lily, who was praised by Bell, put her hands on her hips and showed a proud expression.

"In the past, in order to save money on medicine, Lily taught herself how to mix some simple and affordable medicines."

Lily's voice dropped as she thought of something.

"The effects of the potions that Lily mixes herself are quite good, although they can't be compared with those of pharmacists whose developmental ability is 'mixing'."

After a few more brief greetings, Gao Muming, finding nothing else to do, decided to take Lily to the dungeon.

At night, when Gao Muming brought Lily back to the clan with a lot of harvest, he saw Bell holding a piece of paper and smiling happily like a child.

The moment he saw Gao Muming, Bell excitedly shared his joy with Gao Muming.

"Takagi Akira, look, this is the ability value that the God-sama updated for me today. I finally learned magic."

"You have magic?"

After hearing what Bell said, Gao Muming was stunned for a moment and then understood why Bell obtained magic - he read the extremely expensive magic book that Freya secretly gave him.
