"Ais isn’t interested in romance, 1000 rejections clearly states she isn’t wanting that in her life"

Boy do you have another thing coming.

Also, no, even as early as Volume 1 of SO Ais more or less makes it clear that it's not that she isn't interested in romance per se, it's that she's placing other things first and thinks boys would hold her back. Basically there's no guy out there on her level. Lo and behold, Bell shows up and establishes himself as exactly what she's looking for.

I said "But if she gets her development during the final arc with Bell in the dragon arc, than it could be feasible" right after that comment you quoted. But Ais has a longgg way to go before she can even think about romance with someone. Hence why I think it is unreasonable to expect or want Liaris Freese to be known since Ais doesnt want that stuff right now and she hasnt been developed by the author to want that stuff right now. The last arc of the series will cover that, so its reasonable to think Liaris Freese would be revealed in the last arc of the series when they fight the dragon.

> Lily and Hestia and everyone in his Familia knows all about it.

Mind telling me when it was revealed? Because I don't remember.

@ValetVlad DM8 in the first 100 pages I think.

@ValetVlad MS8, Lili's chapter.

Bell has been kept in the dark of this skill because the boy can’t keep a secret, and would have let slip it away.

This secret of his would have been dangerous in the early beginning of his career due to his level, and naïveté.

The Familia in general knows about it but Bell hasn’t been told about it.

I think is about time now unless Bell can’t handle this or lack of trust.

Its not that bell will go ahead and publicise it.

But his nature.

1. Think of it like this. imagine if bell knows and someone guesses. then they bluff in front of him. the expression he will make will be a dead giveaway.

2. Imagine if ais asks. will bell be able to refuse?

3. Imagine if someone who has worked really hard to get to like level 4 or whatever, tries to guilt trip bell. he is stupid enough to fall for that.

Ais would blush like a tomato if she found the true reason for his growth.

This reason for her would be romantic because her father told the girl to find her Hero, and with Bell she found it.

Ais actually thinks that her revenge basically eliminates this happiness from her.

Bell is actually the key to bringing back her normal emotions that she had before Aria and Albert were gone.

I saw her flashbacks of the past, and it seems to me that Ais was much different than now.

SO12 ending suggested that she regained some of her past self. however, she still needs to save her mother and destroy the dragon that killed her father. and share this with bell, all the while she will be afraid until she tells bell that once he learns, he will reject her. i think.
