Chapter 23: Chapter 23
Currently, I'm wandering around Orario on my way to the church although I don't have its ownership yet, no one goes there anyway so it's an excellent place to stay at.
The deal with the guild was put on hold until they check the effects of the talisman they told me to get back tomorrow if you think that is a long time then I have to remind you that the guild is quite busy cleaning the mess from Evilus, me only waiting 1 day is already good enough I was expecting a week or even longer time, that was one of the main reasons I got to Orario as soon as the Great Feud ended.
But enough of that, while I was chatting with Mr. Gallas he told if I want to buy land and it was owned by someone else I can go and negotiate with them and the guild can help with setting up a meeting if the other party agreed of course.
And one of the things he pointed out is, regardless of age no one will take me seriously when it comes to business when I asked him why he simply said that it was my clothes…damn it hurts when someone says it to my face but he is right, I wore farmer clothes as long as I remember I didn't mind them as Grandpa and Grandma choose them for me, but I guess it's time to change it.
I'm in a city now not a village it's time to change, but if I'm going to change I need to consider some points, I'm still a child who will continue to grow and not to mention it won't take long for me to create a Familia and start heading in the dungeon, so I needed to consider ones that will fit me even if I grew up and one that will survive my battles.
I got inside the church and headed toward the basement and set there although it was full of dust I didn't care much, I opened the shop and started browsing through it, it did have a lot of clothes but most of them didn't fit my taste, but then it hit me I can simply buy the materials and use it to make the clothes I like.
With that, I got a hoodie, shirt, and pants, and I bought a sewing skill and started using those three as a model for my new clothes, thanks to the telekinesis and Sharingan(never thought I would use it like please forgive me Uchiha clan) the work was quite easy, the materials I used were special silk from a spider monster it's quite durable and can expand to fit my size and it's easy to dye too.
What I ended up with is a white hoodie with a bit of red on the cuff area, while the shirt and pants were plain black color with a few red lines on them, I wore them to see how they feel and they were quite comfortable but it feels like something is missing hmm, right the neck I guess I need to make the scarf I wonder what I should make it with…wait a second… a scarf?
Oh yeah, I opened the shop and started looking around, and sure enough, I found it, it was nonother than Natsu Dragneel Scarf the one made from Igneel scales, it protected Natsu multiple times especially that time when he was hit with Zerf Curse, Although the Price is expensive it was worth it.
As soon as I put it in my body I felt complete this is all I needed, I took a mirror from my storage and looked at myself, and I gotta say I'm looking quite cute if I do say so myself(clothes from the cover but a younger version), I kept my hair longer than the OG Bell it was a medium length, add that with my big red eyes and white hair and don't forget my new clothes and try not to give a pat or a hug…ugh wait what I'm turning into a narcissist!.
Ugh, Bad me, bad me, I'm pretty dangerous aren't I, ah well I can worry about this later I already spent the night making these clothes I will have to go to the guild but before I do I should walk around a bit to get used to these clothes.

I started walking around Orario and was surprised by the number of repairs that have been done already, it wasn't complete or anything but they made huge progress, I suppose it's easier when people have Falna which boosts their basic abilities like strength, at this rate it won't take long for the Orario to get fixed completely.
Though there was one thing that has been bugging me… people's gazes… it's not like I don't know why but isn't it a bit too much? my new clothes stand out a lot here the design is not common rather I don't think it exists at all, the pants and shirt aside the hoodie is something new at least the design of it.
But who cares right, even if I stand out I don't really care at this point, as the main plot for me(The Great Feud) is already over, and future ones are impossible because my existence is different from the OG Bell so I won't care about it much.
Well, there is no point thinking about the far future I still have things to do, let's just hope the guild grants my request.
I headed towards the guild and when I entered it was crowded as always, I started looking for Mr.Gallas and found him busy with work as always, I suppose I need to return when it's less crowded.
But before I made my way out I saw Mr.Gallas who noticed me waving at me, he asked his coworker to take his place and made his way to me.
"Good morning Bell.""Morning Mr.Gallas, so how was it?"
"Well, The Guild Master hasn't given an answer yet, but said he wanted to talk to you, is that alright with you?"
"Hmm…That's fine I suppose."
"Alright then fellow me."
"Okay"
Royman huh… I wonder what he wants to talk about he is known for being a greedy guy if he wants another one of the healing talismans I don't mind much but I gotta make it appear as if I don't have many so he won't bother me much.
I followed behind Mr.Gallas who led me toward an Office room he knocked on the door and got permission to get in but before he got in he told me to wait a bit, he went inside and shortly got out, and then he started talking to me.
"Alright Bell, I informed the Guild's Master that you are here so you can get in, I will be going back to work, just act normal don't be nervous okay."
"Okay, Thank you, Mr.Gallas"
He waved at me and started making his way back, while I knocked on the door and entered, what greeted me is an Elf sitting down at his desk singing the mountain of papers, when he saw me entering he put down his pen and proceeded to introduce himself.
"Hello, I'm Royman the Guild's Master"
"My name is Bell Cranel, so I heard you wanted to talk to me right?"
"Well, yes but I'm not the one who is going to do the talk… I will explain while we go there, follow me."
"..Okay"
He started leading me to what I assume is an elevator, we got inside it and yes it was an elevator it even had numbers displaying what floor we are at and it was moving down…wait he is going down… no way.
"The one who wants to talk to you is Lord Ouranos, the Guild founder so please be respectful when speaking to him."
Ouranos huh… but why? I understand that healing lost limbs in this world is broken but it's not enough to make him request my presence I can understand if it was for Fels, but he can meet me alone he doesn't need the guild or Ourano's help to have a conversation with me…. there is no point thinking about it I can never guess how these gods think.
"Alright, you will find Lord Ouranos after going through that door, he wants to talk to you alone so I will be going back to my work when you are done I trust that you know your way back."
"I do, thank you."
He turned around and got inside the elevator, while I faced the door and took a deep breath, and entered the room, what greeted me was a massive dark room, and the only source of light it had was the torches in the middle beside the golden throne which had the one who was looking for me.
I started making my way toward him and when I was in front of him he slowly started opening his eyes.
"I presume that you are the child I requested to see"
"Yes, I'm Bell Cranel."
"I see, I'm Ouranos before we start talking about your request there is someone else who wants to meet you."
Someone else? oh that guy, huh, to confirm my thought a shadowy figure started walking from behind the throne.
"Hello there I apologize if I startled you but I wanted to discuss with you something about the talisman you offered"
"… You don't smell like a human."
Though I already know he is no longer considered a human, I decided to expose him so at least I have something against him if they want to use me… I doubt that's the case seeing that they went as far as summoning me here, it's just when there is a god involved you can never be sure anymore.
"!..Well, that's a surprise, but that's fine I was planning to introduce myself anyway, My name is Fels and I work directly under Ouranos."
"Hmm I get that Mr-"
"Fels, just Fels"
"Okay, I understand that you work with Lord Ouranos but that doesn't explain why you don't smell like a human or any other race I know with all due respect you smell like… bones?"
"…You really are one mysterious child you know but if you want to know then that's fine."
He then slowly took his hood off and instead of a face it revealed a skull, there was nothing to be read from a 'skull' so I don't know what he is thinking, he is just staring at me while I stayed silent waiting for him to speak.
"You are not even fazed by this, you really are amusing."
"Well, your 'situation' is more amusing than my reaction to being honest with you"
I already know what he was, and considering that I have already killed people and seen blood if you think that this can faze me then think again
"Ugh… You are not wrong about it, I was known as the great sage and let's just say this is a side effect of the immortality I was seeking."
"The great sage? you are the inventor of the philosopher's stone!"
"Indeed, though as amazing it was my God thought it was a disgrace to immortals like them and destroyed it, even though I gained immortality from it it was not a perfect one as you can see and the philosopher's stone is long gone so I can't even fix myself any longer."
"I don't know if to call him foolish for destroying such a miracle device or genius because if he didn't a war would start from it."
"It doesn't matter at this point we are here today to talk about the thing you offered us"
After saying that he turned to face Ouranos who was silent the whole time I was talking with Fels and just staring at me, when he got both of our attention he started speaking again.
"Bell Cranel, I have 2 questions I want to ask, but if you don't want to answer any one of them you don't have to, is that alright with you?"
"Okay"
"The first one, from where did you get these talismans?"
Straight to the point huh… how should I handle this, as much as I want to say that bought it I can't lie to a God, I can easily keep silent and he won't bother me about but I gain nothing from that…hmm I'm going to reveal my powers soon enough anyway so I might as well reveal a little bit of it here I at least know that the information won't get out.
"…The thing is I didn't get them… I made them."
"W-What! you made them yourself! But how did you manage to get the star energy, you don't even have a Falna so how?"
As soon as I revealed I made them myself Fels started bombarding me with questions, while Ouranos just kept staring at me with no change of emotions, I guess I need to explain a bit about my ability now.
"Calm down Fels I will explain….first let me clear one point I don't need Falna to use magic, and I have been using it for ages since my birth now, as for my magic itself is related to stars and one of the elements I can use is healing, stop right there I have you know I have more than healing element but those are my trump card I won't reveal easily okay, as for the array if the talisman I can only tell you that I had the knowledge of it in my head as soon as I was born."
"… Are you really a human Bell Cranel?"
"Are you?"
"Ugh, you are poking my sore spot"
I can tell that Fels have more questions about my abilities but he was holding back waiting for Ouranos's second question, I looked at him waiting for the question, and he looked at me and smiled which sent a chill down my spine I tried to compose myself back but when I heard it my eyes were wide opened from the shock.
"The second question, are you the one who revived the dead?"
