you alive?
did you get isekai'd

Will there be any Updates? I really want to continue read the story.

Bell is too superficial when it comes to love, all the qualities he values, are ephemeral and mostly proper to the body, he really needs to evolve spiritually! Because having several achievements as an adventurer, a beautiful appearance, the same powerful as a woman or a "social" status similar to his. Don't necessarily make yourself worthy of the latter's affection... Being a convenient partner or a good adventurer does not make you a good lover either...

Honestly, this reasoning is just reductive and primary... It's clearly guided by the reproductive instinct... But as a human being, this instinct is naturally more subtle than that of simple animals, despite everything, our social interactions and our romantic criteria are very similar to theirs, take the time to compare or learn more and you will see... Like them, we seduce to reproduce and even if we say that sex is not all that matters, it is desire, the basis that keeps couples alive, which has nothing to do with true love. At least, as the one who was conceived "has the basis" the human. Because this type of relationship, is limited and cannot be eternal...
Love is a feeling and feelings are born from the intellect of men, that's why devotion, honor, depression, platonic love and suicide exist. Animals just have emotions that are only instinctual... Therefore, animals do not possess love as such, but only their reproductive instincts that make them act in such and such a way with their fellow creatures, whether they are polygamous or monogamous . Even if our instincts do not control us as they do for them, thanks to our consciousness and the intelligence they do not possess, they are always present in spite of everything and constantly influence us, some more than others... Thus, if your relationship is no different from theirs, if its foundation and conclusion coincide with your primary impulses, how can you only claim to be truly in love or possessed by true love when it comes from something superior and proper to men? You, who in 99% of the cases do not even know the person you are attracted to and are interested in them for what is more instinctive, such as their appearance?

An unreasoned love like love at first sight or recognition makes no sense, you have no good reason to love the person, because these reasons are superficial and ephemeral, as a result your love is like the base on which you founded it and therefore ends up with this degraded over time... Just a temporary partner, not two soul mates, just a fleeting and instinctive crush, a solitary death, that's what most people are destined for... What counts is the compatibility between two souls, you must not make the mistake of letting a person who is not your type win your heart (by being saved for example), because love is not won and that after the euphoria of and the feeling of newness vanished away, which always happens just like desire, it is ephemeral. You will then end up bitterly regretting it and leaving the person sooner or later when you are no longer blinded by your emotions and start seeing your partner for what he really is again . Bete can't be the kind of hero and person that Aiz is looking for, they are too different, incompatible and she despises him for many reasons... So to see Bell thinking so naively, I find it sad, because he didn't even notice Aiz's discomfort or what love was... He's frivolous, only deals with trivial matters and treats serious things lightly, at least in love.

Really nic3 story! I hope you come back and continue it.

Lefiya would act like this from such a kiss but the girl is not a bad person since she just admires Ais.

I feel sorry though when her best friend dies much later in the Light novels.

This chapter was hilariously but Lefiya kissing him is not bad at all because she is a attractive girl but what about Ryuu since in the current story she is madly in love with Bell.

Please update

Looks like Bell finally realises, at the end Bell met Hyakinthos early. Will there be a chapter 6?

Good story so far, been looking for good danmachi stories. Hope you can keep it up!

I'm normally not a fan of ships where one person in it canonically hates the other, but this one? You make it work!

You know I keep thinking you'll hit a kawaii ceiling at some point, but no. Somehow, with every chapter, you're able to make this cuter and cuter.

It really is the best BellxLefiya fanfic out there. Easily one of the top 3 best on Dan Machi ! Please keep the good work, I'll be waiting for the next chapter D

I love this story! It is well written, and you have been able to keep the characters true to themselves. My only negative criticism, however, is that you switched the story from the past-present tense you used in the previous chapters, to strict present. I don't have a problem with first person, as first person always has a point of view that allows a deeper intimacy to a character's thoughts, and I think you did that well. That being said, the switch of the tenses interiors the flow of the story that you have set up until now.

I hope you aren't discouraged by my negative criticism. Please keep writing! I look forward to how Bell and Lefiya interact in the future!

Now I kinda wanna see Lefiya make Bell a surprise lunch when they head into the dungeon and get teased but the Familia but I look forward to another update

Finally updated...
I need more though :P
