What's up?! Everyone, it's ya boi, Chirith, and I am here to drop off another chap of love, dungeons, and I, the advisor of a love goddess.

First of all, thank you for all the followers and favorites that this fic has received. Each and every follow, favorite, and review motivates me to write another chapter and helps me relieve the stress of college life. So, everyone that reads this, thank you very much.

Back to the reviewers, I have to say that the timeline is intentionally a mess so I can add or retcon some stuff in the future. I happen to get a lot of ideas so by doing timeslips, I can fit in or retcon some stuff that happened during there. I will be putting in a timeline at the end of this chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danmachi, and if I do... oh, boy!


I could only smile from my position as I watched an adorable sight in front of me. Yes, this is bliss. Dressed in my trench coat and covered my face with the equivalent of this world's newspapers.

"You know, it might be your turn to guard me, but you are still focused on Nahida," Syr/Freya said beside me with a smile on her face. Of course, I am!

"Shh! I have to document this," I cut her off. My adorable little niece comes first!

YEAH!

"You know, if I didn't know you, I would think you're a pedo."

"... Have you ever looked in a mirror?" I asked my boss while raising my brow. How dare you! Nahida is my little girl!

"... Fair point."

Ah, life is good.

"But still, how does your fiancee think about this?"

Shit! Life is not god.

"Well, we made progress in finding a way to stop the engagement. Besides, it's still a future engagement." I said as I looked at her.

"Hey, did you hear? Someone attacked the Ishtar Familia last night," Some adventurers near us gossiped and I ignored them. I have better things to do.

"You were quite busy last night," She said mentally through the new earpiece she wore, connected to mine. It was a simple piece of earring yet had a useful and powerful enchantment making it similar to a radio or phone.

"..." Saying nothing, I watched Nahida carry some trays to the counter, standing on her tiptoes. So cute!

"I know you're protective over her, but crippling an entire Familia?" She said through our earrings. "But, it warms my heart. To see you, Vana Yngvi, respond to an insult against me,"

"... I only did it because that piece of shit harmed Nahida," I said, trying to ignore the smug smile aimed at me.

"Whatever you say," She said with a smile before severing the connection between us. To others, it might just seem like she was smiling at me.

A shadow loomed over me, darkening the view of my newspaper. Looking up, it was no one other than Ryuu, looking at me with a raised brow.

"What are you doing, dressed like that?" She asked before sitting on the seat that Syr just got up from. "If we did not know it was you, then Mia would have had you kicked out already."

"I have no comments," I replied to her as I set the paper down and fixed my fedora.

"Aren't you supposed to be in the dungeon today?" The elf asked as my mood kindred walked over to my table.

"Hey, Ren nya! The usual?" She asked with a bright smile as soon as she saw my nod.

"I swear, you have an addiction to coffee," Ryuu said with a sigh while watching over Nahida. The white-haired little elf dressed in the employee uniform was waiting at numerous tables.

"Tell me something, I don't know instead," I said as I removed my fedora and for a split second, I saw my vision blur along with a headache.

Shit, it's that bad! I should have taken this day to rest.

"You okay?" She asked, blue eyes reflecting concern.

"I'm fine, just a headache," I told her and waited for my mood kindred to return with the heavenly nectar that fuels my lifelong addiction.

"Ren," Feeling a tug on my pants, I looked at my adorable little Nahid. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, little one. Now, go back to work." Seeing her smile and being so adorable is enough to cure me of my stress from managing the mentally challenged horny people back in the Familia home.

"Kufufu! I have found you, my comrade!" A smirking Chloe announced while pointing at me. "You must be a connoisseur of youths! Join me! Together, we will create a shrine of little boys that will,"

Smack

Crash

And... Chloe was knocked out from a smack coming from Lunoire and was dragged away.

Weird...

But is it weirder than befriending an amorphous mass of tentacles that I always invite for tea or coffee?

Probably not.

"Oh, miss Riveria!" Nahida cried out and I could feel nothing but dread.

My future(possible?) Fiancee has arrived with a redhead by her side. If I remember correctly that is the trickster, Loki.

"Hello, Nahida." Riveria greeted with what seemed to be a fond smile.

Oh shit, hide! Reaching inside for my gun and pushing in enough amount of magic or mind to power up some spells. I have to pull the trigger.

Something's coming.

"Oh?" suddenly I could see the barrel of my gun pressed under the chin of the trickster that was leaning towards me. Her squinted eyes gave her a visage similar to a fox. Terrifying. "Quite a jumpy one,"

Keeping the barrel under her chin, I looked her in the eyes.

"Interesting, wanna join my Familia?" She asked with a grin, her eyes opened and I could feel an enormous amount of pressure just by being around her. What the hell?!

I looked at Riveria and jerked my head to the flatchested redhead in front of me. She could only look away while staying close to Loki.

Fuck you, Hedin! I know you planned this somehow!

"No, I don't want more headaches in my life," I said as kept the barrel under her chin while using my other hand to take the cup of coffee.

Instead of feeling offended, The trickster laughed. She threw her head back and let out a roar of laughter before snapping her head at me and leaning in.

"It was not a request," She said and I could feel the pressure that made her a feared deity. Holy shit! This is intense! I have to keep it in. Shit! I can't stop shaking!

LeT uS OuT!

No good! With what happened last night, I can't

"Don't bully, Ren!" Nahida shouted as she looked at Loki.

'Not good!'

Her eyes glowed gently and I quickly moved as fast as I could to reach her.

Shit, not now!

"It's okay, Lady Nahida, " Riveria said as she gently patted Nahida's head. "Loki was just joking," She said, giving her deity a glare.

"I wa-"

"Loki was just JOKING," She repeated, her voice rising as the air felt a bit colder.

Fuck, that was hot! Not gonna lie...

"Fine, fine. Sheesh, way to ruin my fun!" Loki whined as she headed to the counter.

At least, everything was fi-

Hot! My body feels hot! Throbbing all over.

The seals! Shit!

"Ryuu! Take care of Nahida!" I could barely grit those words out as I held on as much as I could. Not waiting for an answer, I rushed out of the door, and with as much speed as I can, I launched myself into the dungeon.

LEt US ouT

I could feel my sight darken.

No use thinking about it...

Oh, I'm falling.

I see...

Nahida... You'll be alone for a while.

Ryuu, Riveria, please keep her safe...

REsT, lEt uS oUt. We aRe FuLL aND ReQUiREd tO LoSe...

3rd person POV

Inside the dungeon, numerous monsters are being birthed every moment in a bid to destroy the damnable gods. The final frontier of all adventurers, people who seek power, fame, glory, fortune, etc. Armed with numerous pieces of equipment that can buy countries and the blessings of their patrons.

A monster arrived at the lower floors of the dungeon, yet it was not birthed by the dungeon itself. It was foreign, an abomination.

A hulking creature as tall as a man. While it was vaguely humanoid, it was surrounded by constricting, writhing appendages. Each one wrapped against its form similar to a cocoon. A bulging orb in what seems like its eye. A small gap showed where its mouth should be, drooling as its head snapped in a direction until the tentacles unfurled from its form, lashing out as it damaged the entire area, eradicating everything on its path.

" $! "It roared out in a warped manner, unintelligible by any mortal ear. After all, it was nothing but a beast.

Its tentacles lashed out once more, engulfing a skeletal monster with razor-sharp claws. It was fast and strong, yet the tentacles ignored the claws, opting on wrapping themselves around the monster. The figure's open mouth shifted into a distorted form of a grin as the tentacles constrict, crushing, breaking, before being ripped to numerous pieces.

Sensing nothing else as the monster dissipated, the figure roared and its appendages rampaged throughout the area, demolishing anything its appendages got a hold of.

"It's time for you to stop sleeping," Ottar, the king, said as he raised his sword, easily deflecting and severing the appendages on their way to strike him. Saying nothing, the king raised his sword and charged.

The battle was tough and long. Numerous barrages of tentacles were cut off by the king even if they regenerated as quickly as they were cut off. That was until the Ottar's hand snapped towards its face, grabbing the appendage before ripping the tentacles off of the creature's face.

Dark hair danced in the light breeze produced by the dungeon as the tentacles around the figure receded, eventually disappearing. Dark eyes were narrowed as heavy breaths erupted from the young man.

Saying nothing, Ottar carried the young man over his shoulder on his way out of the dungeon, ignoring the destroyed portion of the dungeon.

A dull silver stud earring gleamed from his right earlobe, the same one Syr wore.


Oh? Loki caught Ren's attention and Riveria is being nice to Nahida.
