Funny / Incarnation of Legends

• Oryou leaps towards Haruhime's home because Bell wanted to say goodbye to the Renard. Then, Oryou leaps back with Haruhime in tow. Haruhime is too scared from the excitement.
• When Artoria learns about Kojiro, she wears a helmet and conceals her face to prank him.
• Odin asks Bell to become an idol as he looks too cute to be a boy.
• Hans's responses to whenever the citizens of Orario interact with him.
  Citizen # 1: What’s up, Mimir!
  Citizen # 2: Hey there, Mimir!
  Citizen # 3: Mr Andersen, I love your books!
  Hans: Piss off, piss off, much obliged.
• Bell falls asleep on the couch, when 3 members of the Astraea Familia come in and start changing without noticing him. He understandably freaks out, but gets a peek at them undressed when he's found.
• Just like in canon, Bell meets Aiz after she kills a minotaur right in front of him and drenches him its blood. He sees her, is starstruck, and then runs away blushing.
• When Kojiro learns of Aiz's reputation as the Sword Princess, his first instinct is to challenge her to a duel even at his own celebration party. Bell has to hold him back, even complaining that Kojiro should know better as the adult between them.
  Kojiro: Young master. [draws his sword]
  Bell: [pushes the sword back in] No.
  Kojiro: [whining as he pulls his sword out again] She is called the Sword Princess.
  Bell: [forcefully pushes the sword back in] No!
  Kojiro: Please?
  Bell: I shouldn’t be the one being responsible here! [Kojiro pouts and Bell's eyebrow twitches] You are the adult here, don’t pout!
• Arash reveals that he wasn't really trying when he levels up, as he didn't feel like stressing himself out. Kojiro simply responds that that explains why it took the former three months to level up to Level 2. The rest of Hestia and Astraea Familia are either shocked, annoyed, or exasperated by this exchange.
  Kaguya: I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that.
  Lyra: Go explode, you monsters!
• After Hestia drags Bell out for a date, Kojiro and Solaris lampshade Bell's status as a Chick Magnet.
  Solaris: So is it just me or is our goddess horny for Bell?
  Kojiro: He has that effect on women.
• Hans and Freya have a very interesting relationship, with the former basically acting as the latter's Morality Chain. However, even the Goddess of Beauty isn't exempt from Hans' Brutal Honesty.
  Freya: (about not getting paid much due to her bad cooking) I got better!
  Hans: Going from absolute shit to tasteless existence is not a thing to be proud of! [points at himself] Apologize to my stomach!
• When Lefiya catches Aiz and Bell having a tender moment, she screams before getting in between them, and then accuses Bell of going after Aiz when he already has his hooks on the Astraea Familia, Solaris, and Hestia.
  Lefiya: [points at Bell with a snarl on her face] I knew it, you are an enemy!
  Bell: Why?!
  Lefiya: [gets in between the two with her arms spread protectively] The Astraea Familia, your captain and goddess, they aren’t enough for you?! You want to have Aiz as well?!
• When the time comes for Kojiro and Bell to get aliases, Kojiro requests that Hestia put forward the name "Swallow Slayer".
  • When Hestia first says it, Loki actually cleans out her ear and asks Hestia to say it again, as if she couldn't believe it.
  • When Loki asks why Kojiro wants that as his alias, Hestia gives the reasoning that Kojiro gave, which is nonsensical to all of the gods, enough for them to agree to it.
    “I don’t know! He went on about how his life was spent taking down swallows and that the Infant Dragon was like an Infant Swallow and that it was only natural to be called Swallow Slayer because he took down an oversized swallow!” At the expressions she saw, she covered her face, trying to sink into her seat. “Don’t look at me like that, I know that he’s insane!”
  • When Bell's turn comes up, Freya puts forward a name that Hans picked out.
    “The Blank Potential. White Fool.”
    The goddess of Hearth felt the world shrink down around her.
    “Eh?”
    “With his white hair and his actions, he can be nothing but a White Fool.” Putting a finger on her lips, she closed one eye as she looked into the round. “Besides, it’s the title my dear Mimir came up with.”
• As a celebration for getting up to Level 2, Kojiro and Arash take Bell out drinking, and are joined by Hans. After one sip, Bell becomes a blubbering mess that is lamenting over his crush on Aiz.
• After Alise gives Solaris a much needed pep talk, she hugs the younger adventurer. Unfortunately, Ryuu enters the room and immediately says that Solaris is too young for her, before proceeding to scold her captain.
• Solaris has the reasonable reaction to Tsubame Gaeshi.
  • Astraea Familia (minus Arash) and Hestia have a similar reaction when they ask Kojiro to show them Tsubame Gaeshi after reading about it in Hans' novel about Bell.
• To help Lyra's love dilemma, Arash decides to send her and the entire Hestia Familia on vacation.....via Arash Airlines!!! Everyone is not pleased at this.....except for Kojiro and Haruhime (as the former knows of it, while the latter has already seen crazy stuff like this due to interacting with Oryou).
• After their return from Melen and meeting the Amazons of Telskyura, Ryuu makes sure that Bell didn't do anything with the Amazons who were interested in him. After he confirms that nothing happened, the rest of Astraea Familia point out that Ryuu was only worried because she wanted Bell for herself.
  Ryuu: It is good you did not take advantage of the situation, Bell.
  Kaguya: In what way?
  [Bell blushes when he realizes what Ryuu meant]
  Ryuu: D-Do not misunderstand! It isn’t as if I didn’t trust you to be a gentleman! [coughs and looks away] I was just... concerned for your safety!
  Lyra: More like his purity so that you can take it.
  Ryuu: (high-pitched) What?!
  Hestia: (growling) Ryuu, I swear if you have your eyes on him as well... !
  Ryuu: [waving her hands while backing off] This-This is a misunderstanding! I-I would never do this to you or Syr!
  Kaguya: You’re not denying it though. [points at Ryuu with a smirk] Say it. Say you are not interested in Bell.
  Ryuu: Enough! Don’t put any ideas into his head!
  Alise: What ideas?
  Ryuu: You know- [turns to Bell and grabs his hands while looking him in the eyes] Bell, you believe me right? That I do not have ulterior motives, correct?!
  Bell: Y-yes? [Ryuu nods and then turns to the others]
  Ryuu: There you have it!
  Kaguya: That kinda falls flat with you still holding his hands.
  [Ryuu looks down and sees she's still holding his hands before slowly letting go]
  [Ryuu slowly backs off]
  Ryuu: [rushes out and covers her face with both hands] I hate you all!
• In order to infiltrate the Red Light District, Ryuu and Bell have to pretend to be a couple. What makes it funnier is the fact that the code names they use are Medea and Jason; even their disguises make the two look like them. Naturally, Arash, Kojiro, and Hans immediately think that the mission will end in a disaster.
  Medea and Jason. For some reason Kojiro, Arash and Hans did not seem particularly confident in those randomly picked names. Hans especially had a face of utter disgust, throwing his arms up in surrender as he claimed this mission was doomed. In the end, nobody elaborated and Kojiro said something about how ‘ignorance was bliss’.
  • After the two resort to making out to throw off suspicious members of the Ishtar Familia, Bell makes things more awkward when it is revealed it was both their first kisses.
    “Then I guess it’s fine. I lost mine, you lost yours?”
    “Phrasing, Bell,” Ryuu muttered, causing his face to heat up.
  • Right after this, Bell admits the thinks Ryuu is cute, causing her to admit to herself that she wouldn't mind losing her first time to Bell. Unfortunately for her, he heard her mutter.
    “...I suppose losing my first time to you... is fine... “
    He could barely hear it. But he caught the words. He looked up, eyes wide, as Ryuu mumbled under her breath. She meekly glanced at him, before realizing he was staring at her. She froze like prey in front of a predator. Was she... ? Could it be... ? He wasn’t sure if he wanted to hear the answer. It was a responsibility. A burden. If he heard her utter the words he thought she held in her heart... there was no going back.
    “Ryuu?” He asked softly, staring deep into her eyes before squeezing her hand. Slowly, his eyes glanced at her lips. The color faded a bit, most likely a bit of it smeared on his own. They were still wet from before. Suddenly Ryuu backed off, shaking each other out of their daze.
    “N-Nothing! Let’s move on!” She shouted, pulling him forward. Bell accepted it in stride, trying to calm his beating heart.
    “R-Right!”
    Thus, this event ended... without a proper conclusion. But perhaps it was for the better. Bell still didn’t know what he felt. Or what she felt. Or what they should be feeling. But he couldn’t deny it any longer. Blurry as it was... confusing as it was... the storm that resided in his heart... the images he saw within...
• After Lefiya tells Filvis to not fall for Bell too, Bell protests her accusations. When she brings up Ryuu, he blurts out that she kissed him first. The two elves naturally are shocked and demand answers before they're interrupted.
• Hestia and Ryuu get jealous after Artoria gives Bell a Bridal Carry.
  • Ryuu's denial that she is jealous is met by flat looks from the rest of her familia and the female members of Loki Familia.
  • After seeing Artoria do this, and the reactions of Hestia and Ryuu to it, Aiz asks:
    “...Is he a gigolo... ?”
    • Aiz saying that causes everyone to suddenly stare at her. Riveria is unhappy that her daughter figure even knows this word and what it means.
      (while smiling politely) “Whoever taught her that word, meet me in my office after this is over.”
• As the members of Hestia Familia have to recuperate after the War Game, Solaris gets bored. She relieves her boredom, and some of her pain, by smoking some weed. She shares her weed with her Familia, who all get high, with the exception of Kojiro.
• Solaris is able to get rid of all the potential recruits to Hestia Familia with 2 sentences.
  “We got a six hundred million debt.” [smacks her lips] “Which of you scrubs wants to stay now?”
  • The other members of the Familia all look at Bell's weapons, and realize where the debt came from.
• While Bell is eating at the Hostess, Syr teases him about Ryuu and advises him to ask the elf out. Why does she do this? Because she's interested in both of them!
  “Besides, if you two get together, it’ll be much easier to seduce the two of you at the same time~!”
• Solaris teases Welf about having a thing for women with eye patches and jokingly asks how long until he gets with Hephaestus.
  Solaris: When will you get that goddess’ ass?
  [Welf splutters]
• After Haruhime tells Lefiya that she used to have a crush on Bell, the latter starts to think that she was right about him, before her thoughts start to segway.
  She puffed her cheeks up. Aha! Lefiya knew it! This guy was practically cat nip for blondes! First the Royal Gale, then Aiz, now Haruhime! And he told her he wasn’t like that! Just because she wasn’t in his target zone, he pretended that he had no skills to use on Lefiya! Not that they would work anyway! Or that she wanted to be in his target zone in the first place, as much as it damaged her self esteem! Still, in the end, she pegged him right after all! A shameless flirt that could gather women around him just with some nice words and nice guy act! His devious charm, his good looks, a nice personality, his surprisingly well formed bu-
  The elf did a double take, cutting off her line of thought. Hold on, something about what she just said was weird.
• Ryuu ends up asking Bell on a date using a Wall Pin of Love. Although she acts calm when actually asking Bell, unlike Bell who's blushing up a storm, the moment she's in the safety of her room she squirms in her bed out of pure embarrassment.
  “Let’s go on a date, Bell,” she declared. Many gaped and choked on their drinks when they heard that. Bell’s mind went haywire, thus his instincts spoke for him.
  “S-sure?”
  Ryuu nodded in approval before removing her hands from the wall.
  “Good. The day after tomorrow, I will meet you in front of the Hostess.”
  With those words, she walked away and entered her room. Bell slid down on the ground, face red as he gasped for air. Besides feeling his face heat up like a volcano, Bell thought he just lost something in terms of a man’s dignity. It didn’t help that there was an audience, absolutely giddy at what they saw.
  Unbeknownst to them, Ryuu twisted and turned on her bed, her face buried into her pillow as she let out a muffled scream into it. Why did she follow Kaguya’s advice out of everyone?! This ‘kabedon’ was terrible!
• During Bell and Ryuu's date, Astrea has to keep Hestia busy, Arash is tasked with overwatch, and the other members of the two familias (except Kojiro) are charged with making sure no one interrupts the date.
• Bell accidentally reveals to Lefiya and Aiz that Ryuu is open to including one or possibly more women into their relationship.
  Lefiya: [crushes Bell's shoulders] Explain now please~!
  Bell: She…She said that if it makes me…well, us, happy, she is open to more…people in the relationship…? I-I am paraphrasing of course, so…
  Lefiya: Hm? Maybe Bell is thinking about me. I have this fuzzy feeling in my chest…
  Bell: COOLCOOLCOOL, LET GO THEN, MY SKULL IS ACTUALLY CRACKING FOR REAL FOR REAL, OWWWWW!
  • The kids who are learning math from Lefiya ask Bell if Lefiya and Aiz are his girlfriends after the three of them remember that the kids are present. Bell's immediate rejection causes both girls to be annoyed with Bell, albeit in different ways.
    Aiz’ shoulder slumped, the dark cloud over her head growing ever more black. Meanwhile Lefiya’s cheeks puffed up in indignation before smacking the back of his head with her staff.
    “Don’t deny it so fast! Are we so undesirable?!”
    As Bell yelped amidst the laughter of the children, he felt like crying as Lefiya showed no mercy. What was he doing wrong?!
• Aiz uses the worst wording possible when revealing the Count of Monte Cristo to her Familia.
  Aiz: ...I think a man was inside me last night.
• Bell, motivated by his memory of his grandfather and Solaris, gives Ryuu a Flirtatious Smack on the Ass in front of their Familias and Loki Familia.
  Everyone. Absolutely everyone, stared at him as if he was completely insane. Lefiya from the ground, Aiz from her kneeling position, the others standing further away…and Ryuu, completely frozen, her hands covering her…
  …
  Oh no.
  • While everyone else congratulates or reprimands Bell for doing this, Ryuu throws herself at her boyfriend, forcing the rest of Astrea Familia to restrain her before she does something she regrets.
    Something seemed to snap inside Ryuu. As if awakening, she blinked, her eyes returning to normal. She stared at him. Then at herself.
    Then she became even more red than him, shooting away from him. She covered her mouth while playing with her hair, her fingers twirling through it.
    “It’s…it’s way too early…I-I appreciate your enthu-enthusiasm but…! There-there is a time and-and-and a p-p-p-place…ha….haaah…ha…”
    Bell felt a switch about to be flipped inside of him. Cute. Too cute. Why was she so cute. Why did she stop-He shook his head frantically. Enough, intrusive thoughts!
    His actions at least served to make Ryuu realize they were not alone…and thus…
    “Ihavetogo!”
• Once Argonaut and his friends introduce themselves to their reincarnations (minus Ariadne, as Aiz went off to fight the Gorgon), everyone is in disbelief upon seeing that these legendary heroes are a carbon copy of themselves/their friends.
