So he'll make Bell go for the harem route?

That aside...

I would like Bell to meet the strongest adventurer shown so far, Ottar.

What would be of Bell? A man crush at Ottar's gar aura?

Wasn't this Bell's intentions from the start? The novel started with the premise of Bell seeking a harem. If the author does not go down this route and give us a splendid harem end, he should just drop dead. Hmph!

Well, jokes aside, I really hope Bell will go for the harem. \o/

"That was my original intention but now I'm loyal to Wallenstein-san"

There is a line in the first volume that says this almost word-for-word.

If not for the lulz and epic battles I'd have dropped the series right there.

Pablete · 2014-11-21, 13:40

And later Hestia told him about his harem goal, and Bell was flustered about it and he still has those traits from his grandpa bestowed into him.

And let's be. honest, he is getting one progressively.

I think I posted the time table for this series ... some posts back that got buried pretty quick cause people weren't that interested.

Also my book arrived!!! Yesssssssssss!

Found it, here's the table you posted: http://i.imgur.com/Z3fniDH.png
I thought it was interesting when I first saw it, but I can't read the comments, which mostly just look like timeline determinations. The rest is clear enough.
For those who don't have it figured out, the vertical columns are: Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, Magic, Aggregate Score, Change in Aggregate from last given Status, When in the series the values appear (Volume and Page #), Days since Bell gained Hestia's Grace

I was going to try to use it to explain why it's unlikely that Lili will be leveling up any time soon, but it wouldn't work for that because Bell was still in the beginner's growth period when he got Single Minded Pursuit, so his rate of growth there is still much higher than what Lili would have experienced in the last half year since she had her Status updated.

Thanks for the Volume 6 info so far, and I look forward to more spoilers from you as well.

Karoshi · 2014-11-21, 18:40

I was wondering who these characters are. (Scans from vol 6)

Spoiler:

Also, Mikoto looking sexy~

Spoiler:

Kunagisa · 2014-11-21, 18:53

Finished!!! Took total of around 7 hours to read through.

I stand corrected, this is the best volume of this series to date. Everything that took place reaffirmed why I love this series so much. Comedy, anger, shame, friendship, love, and pushing yourself to the limit for the people you care about. Almost like a Shonen Jump punchline, which is exactly what this series is all about to me.

Combining all the characters (literally) of all previous volumes and elements of the the previous 2 best volumes (3 and 5), this volume is a concentrated mixture of pure, endorphic euphoria. Chapter 5 is entirely dedicated to the War Game in the form of Castle Siege, which was around 67 pages out of a book of 350 pages; very appropriate mixing of grand scale assault (volume 5's "raid" was around 500 people, here it's 5v100) and individual foot soldier fight (1v1 in volume 3). As people have commented else where, the cathartic feel from finishing the book in one go is unbeatable.

As usual, the epilogue was incredibly short and powerful, this is truly the end of Part 1 of this series. For those who has enough self-control to not read spoilers (I never have self control w), you can skip the rest, but I think you should at least know that next volume would be Freya-centric.

New official romanized names:
Ryu Lion, Riveria Ljos Alf, Naza Ersuisu (I've been using Nuadha), Asufi al Andromeda, Bete Loga

Huge block of text

Spoiler for Volume 6:

Prologue: Lily begged Soma to let her convert to Hestia, but Soma's still in zombie-mode, the leader of Soma Familia, Tzannis said it would take 100 million for that to happen.
The volume begins with Bell and co. celebrating their return from Floor 18 as well as Welf's level up. Most of the XP probably went to MVP Ryu, then probably Asufi after that. Unlike the others where all their attacks are done individually, Bell's attack wouldn't be possible with all their help together. Bell's status afterward is 635, 590, 627, 741, 529, which is a total of 1398.
During the meal, Apollon Familia mocks Bell from a nearby table. Fight broke out with Hyacinthus beating Bell with ease. Fortunately, tsundere Bete was around and forced Apollon Familia to back off (Apollon confirmed male by the way).
Next day, Daphne and Cassandra giving Bell and Hestia invitation hosted by Apollon.
This leads to the party and hilarious dance scene as previously mentioned. Freya as usual was the star of all parties, but due to the nature of her inherent power, others Gods/Goddesses are befuddled by her consecutive appearance after Ganesha's party in Volume 01 (we readers know why obviously). Anyway, this is an unique party in the sense that usually Gods/Goddesses go without their Familia, but all immortals are allowed to bring one person/demi-human this time. Loki came in male clothing cause she brought Ais along
Here, Hermes revealed that there are three most prominent Quests, each relating to a monster that remains from thousands of years ago (the so called Original Monsters). At the peak of their Familias' powers, Hera and Zeus's members were able to take down two of them together: King of Continents (Behemoth) and Overlord of Oceans (Leviathan); yet when they went after last monster, the one-eyed, black king of dragons, the entire assault force was wiped out. Loki and Freya, who weren't on good terms with Hera and Zeus, ousted them from Orario since they are without their strongest combatants now. No one seem to know Hera is, and no one "seem" to know where Zeus is either. Keep in mind Bell is 14 years old.
During the party, Apollon demand Hestia to a War Game using that Bell beaten his Familia member up, which cause everyone to realize it was a trap from Apollon all along. Hestia rejects obviously and left.
Next day, Apollon assaults Hestia and Bell's home trying to forcibly take Bell and Hestia hostage. Here, Omori confirmed that when Gods are killed, they just go back to heaven, and they might use this as leverage make Bell change Familia. Bell ran all over the city trying to hide and everyone (Lily, Welf, Naza, Ouga, Mikoto, Chigusa etc. came to his aid to help him get to the Guild hall to seek intervention.
Lily found out here that Soma Familia was bribed by Apollon to help them, using the excuse that Soma was just trying to take back Lily to escape Guild punishment, which Apollon doesn't really care since the form is most likely monetary anyway. Lily willing go back to Soma as to remove the extra reinforcement.
Here Cassandra told Daphne that she has a dream that an injured rabbit would jump over the moon and devour the sun; nobody believed her.
While in hiding, Hestia confessed to Bell and said she doesn't mind just leaving the city as long as he travels with her. Bell thought about his friends, his goal, and finally Ais. Hestia asked what he thinks of her, and he said respect, which Hestia said that's not what she's asking about. Before the conversation could go further, they were discovered again. This time Hestia got pissed off and told Bell just to go Apollon, where she accepted his challenge.
Bell told her to buy him a week's time, and Hestia promised she would bring Lily back as well. Ignoring his pride, Bell ran straight to Loki's home and asked to see Ais, who already knew what happened but cannot publicly offer help, so she and Tiona asked Tione to pass a message to Bell secretly. The three met up and Ais (occassionally Tiona) trained Bell for 7 days straight.
Meanwhile, Hestia with the help of everyone again, went to rescue Lily. Fighting ensues but Lily escaped confinement and reached Soma once again, asking him to stop the fighting. Soma apparently was just incredibly disappointed that his wine turned into drug for his Familia, so he asked Lily to drink the wine and asked him to do the same again. Lily was able to withstand the ecstatic, additive effect of the drug, which also broke Soma out of his stupor upon seeing her resolve.
Hestia used Hestia's Knife as a mortgage to pay for Lily's conversion to her family, which Soma agreed.
Afterward, Hestia used sickness as an excuse to delay the godly convention, which decides the method of the War Game. Hermes was chosen as the guy who draws a lot from a pool of choices. He picked the worst one possible, which was a Castle Siege with Apollon as the defender. Freya was able to get a word in, which enable Hestia to hire from non-Orario Familia members.
Mikoto and Welf decided to transfer Familia to help Bell, while Hermes go seek Ryu's help (since Astrea is outside of Orario). These sequence of scenes are extremely powerful at least for me. I teared up a bit (I teared up easily though), seeing Gods and Goddesses have with their "children".
Finally, Syr gave a pendant to Bell before his departure to the War Game site.
Thanks god the convenience of the all-power arcanum of heavenly magic, the entire event was broadcasted live to the entire Orario. The top scene must be when the guy who kidnap Hestia in dungeon during Volume 5 bet 100,000 Valis on Bell winning despite the extremely shitty odds.
As for the game itself, you guys should wait for translations. You really can't describe something like this. I hinted some of it in the non-spoiler part. Best team work ever. You can totally feel the storyboard of the scenes playing while reading. Also as previously said in the intro of this post and worth repeating, the catharsis is SSSS.
My interpretation of Omori's afterward is that Cassandra might join since she's a healer. I hope Daphne does too.

Spoiler for Status at the end of volume after training with Ais and Tiona:

1088,1029,1094,1302,883, I.

Despite me being an Ais fan, Hestia was really nice this chapter. Feels more like a Goddess finally. Bete finally is getting a lot more likeable. No CP with Ais though, Tenzen pls go

.

@Karoshi Hyacinthus, Cassandra (long hair) and Daphne (short).
@GodTurtleOm thanks for digging that up, i was comparing the stats gain myself and saved me time finding them. I wouldn't cross out on no Lily leveling next volume though!

PS: Didn't spell or grammar check.

There wasn't even a final fight on Vol.4.

Vol.5 was a raid.

Vol.6 has multiple battles including 1 vs 1 and 1 vs x number and team vs team.

Go0gleplex · 2014-11-21, 19:21

Noone knows where Hera is. Bell was Zeus' adoptive grandfather. Would it be weird to think the waitress gal might be Hera in disguise and she's kinda watching out for her adoptive grandson? Nawww...probably not...

Miraluka · 2014-11-21, 19:23

Yeah, Hera too jealous of any being who aproaches Zeus, female or male.

Xellos-_^ · 2014-11-21, 19:47

i would say if anyone wants to find Hera just need to look for the nearest jealous female stalker but Freya already got that cover.

Miraluka · 2014-11-21, 19:57

Hera isn't a stalker.

She is a yandere, I think even Zeus implied that

Apparently some god's familia, I think it was Takemikazuchi, sent his goons to abduct Hestia, who retaliated using her divine power, which caused the dungeon to spawn Goliath.

GodTurtleOm Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2014	Kunagisa summarized it on page 7. From what I remember of other summaries as well: Spoiler for Volume 5 Events: Mikoto dumped some aggroed monsters on Bell's party not out of malice, but because her own supporter was injured. After she got back to the surface, Hestia, Hermes, Ryuu, and Mikoto all went back down to help them. Hestia was kidnapped by some people who were jealous of Bell's progress. Hestia intervened to stop their fighting using her God's power, which pissed the dungeon off, so it hatched a high powered Goliath on the safe floor (18, either that or it started on 17 and broke through the ceiling), which became a fairly large scale battle. Loki Familia isn't involved in the battle with Goliath, I think there are a few hundred other Adventurers though.
