A/N Hello there, one of my favorite light novels is otome heroine saikyo survival. I think Aria's kit is amazing and would be cool to see that in danmachi. The MC is an original character, not Aria from that series, but will develop her abilities. Mostly. Sort of.

As Freya was traveling outside of Orario with Ottar to get a break from those ridiculous Evilus guys, she happened to be passing an elven forest. Specifically the royal Alf forest.

Ottar's ears perked up and he turned towards the forest "What is it Ottar?" Freya asked. "Sounds like someone fighting, my lady." The stoic boaz replied.

This piqued Freya's curiosity, this area was supposed to be rather safe. The elves patrolled the forest thoroughly, even if they didn't have falna the elves were quite capable.

Without saying anything Freya started walking in the direction Ottar had turned, making the man let out a silent sigh of resignation. He was well used to his goddess's whims and knew better than to try to talk her out of it.

As they approached it became clear the fighting was between people, not monsters. Freya just had to know what was going on now, the elves are a very civil people after all. Something very strange must have happened to cause them to turn on each other.

Clearing the treeline and entering a clearing, what the goddess of beauty saw shocked her. Not an easy feat, shocking someone who spends her days watching all sorts of people from the top floor of Babel.

A young pink haired elf girl was pulling a knife out of an elven soldier's neck. There were two other corpses in the clearing as well, clearly the girl had been busy.

Just as the girl finished removing the blade she turned to the newcomers and said "...Stay back." Ottar didn't respond, he knew he could flatten the girl before she ever got close to Freya. Freya responded with a huge smile and said "My my, what a violent little girl. My name is Freya, what's yours little one?"

As the girl's eyes widened at realizing they weren't enemies, Freya was shocked yet again. The girl's eyes were the color of jade, a feature unique to the royal Alf bloodline. What was that idiot king thinking, letting a princess fight for her life?

The girl eventually responded "...Aria… Ljos Alf." Getting confirmation Freya smiled even wider and said "Why is such a cute princess getting attacked by elven soldiers?"

The girl's jade gaze wavered at that and she choked out a response "...T-they… called me a stain. Illegitimate. They… t-they… killed mom." That was as far as she got before breaking down in tears.

Without a second thought Freya rushed to the girl and held her. She began gently rubbing her back and assuring her everything was okay now. It seems even goddesses have maternal instincts.

After a while Aria finally calmed down, Ottar had been keeping a close watch on their surroundings to make sure no one interrupted. As Freya gently separated them she made an offer.

"Aria, I am the goddess of the strongest familia in Orario. These idiot elves must be insane to treat you so cruelly. Will you come with me?"

Aria looked up at the goddess and finally realized how stunning she was, even a child like her could see she was beautiful. More importantly she couldn't get over how warm and safe Freya was. "Is it really okay? For someone like me?" Aria asked.

"Of course little Aria, please, join my familia." Freya said in the warmest voice she could manage. Aria only nodded in response, on the verge of crying again.

"Congratulations Aria. You are now level 6." Freya said, beaming with pride.

It had been nine years since Freya took her in. Aria was now sixteen years old and one of the most stunning girls in Orario, though few had ever seen her. Freya knew how stubborn and vain the elf king could be, so she made Aria make her a promise.

Until she reached level 6 Aria's existence would remain a secret. This was mostly Freya being overprotective, but it was true that the elf king would likely send assassins after her if he knew Aria was still alive. Freya would not let her precious daughter live in constant fear, so she forbade Aria from acting publicly until she was strong enough to defend herself from anything that might be thrown at her.

Realistically level four would've been enough, and Freya's other children would be able to protect her from nearly anything in the world. Freya had gotten very attached to Aria, seeing her as her own daughter.

Aria's existence was hidden from nearly everyone, the only people that knew her were Freya, her executives, and Freya's servants in Babel. Aria had her own room there, though she was almost always in the dungeon.

Aria wanted to get stronger to prove the elves wrong, to prove to herself that she deserved to be free and happy and alive. Freya doting on her certainly helped. The executives were also unusually kind to her, they were outright hostile to everyone else but Aria made their goddess happier than they had ever seen her. They saw her as something like a little sister, Ottar in particular took great joy in training and teaching her. Freya had also stopped seducing so many people and had gotten much less obsessed with finding her "Odr", which was a massive relief to her familia.

"There is a denatus next week, I will announce you to the world then." Freya said, earning a big smile from Aria. Aria had enjoyed her life with Freya and she got along well with the others too, but she had been looking forward to living like a normal person for a long time now. She wanted to wander the streets, try new things, and meet new people. She had been in the "center of the world" for nearly a decade but had only seen a small fraction of the city.

As Aria put her black battle dress back on She looked down at her equipment. A pair of black short swords, a set of throwing knives, adamant plated gauntlets and boots, and her pendulums. The pendulums were her favorites, weapons attached to the end of long strings made from drop items. Two blunt pendulums with deceivingly heavy metal spheres, two pendulums with kunai on the end, and two pendulums with scythe shaped blades on the end.

Freya held a paper out to her and said "You really have gotten stronger, I'm so proud of you." As she looked down at her status Aria remembered everything she had been through to get to this point. Countless hours in the dungeon, training with the Einherjar, and magic lessons with Hedin. She had pushed herself to her limits and then surpassed herself time and time again.

In the beginning she was desperate, never resting, always fighting or training. To reach level two she had defeated a horde of Orcs and imps.

As she got stronger she gained confidence in herself and learned to win by any means necessary. To reach level three she had defeated an irregular minotaur.

As she approached the upper echelons of adventurers she began to refine her technique, shaving away everything that was unnecessary. To reach level four she had beaten the goliath alone.

To break through into first class she used everything she had learned up to that point to truly surpass herself. To reach level five she had gone on a solo expedition to the deep floors.

At some point her desperation had turned into an unshakable resolve to both realize her ambition and be worthy of everything Freya had given her. To reach level six she had survived twenty four hours straight in the colosseum.

"-If that is all for the new level ups and Aliases this Dena-" Just as Royman was about to call an end to the meeting of the gods Freya interrupted him. "Actually I have one."

All of the deities sat up straight at this, especially Loki. Freya already had a lead on her and Loki did not want to fall any further behind.

"There is a bit of a story for this one so listen up. I would like to announce a previously unregistered adventurer. A level six." Freya said with pride clear in her voice.

The room got very loud very quickly, to put it lightly. "What the hell are you on about Freya !?" Loki exclaimed. This was the last thing she wanted to hear. "Yes Lady Freya, this is a serio-" Royman tried to say something but Freya cut him off again making the fat elf go red with rage.

"As I said, there's a bit of a story. Her name is Aria Ljos Alf." Freya said. All of the noise in the room stopped short. The Alf bloodline was perhaps the most influential in the world, it was a shock when Loki had come home with one years ago, nobody expected there to be another wayward elven princess as an adventurer. Let alone a level six.

Satisfied with the silence, Freya continued "Little Aria is an illegitimate child of Larfal Ljos Alf, the elf king. Nine years ago I happened across her as she was attacked by the elven royal guard. They were ordered to dispose of the stain on the Alf bloodline. At only seven years old, Aria killed them. I then took her in and made her promise me to stay completely secret until she became strong enough to defend herself from whatever the elves may try. In short she was kept secret for her safety."

Everyone remained silent. Everyone knew how extreme elven royalty could be, but this was beyond anything they could've imagined. Even Loki's expression went from furious to disgusted.

"Until now the only people aware of her were myself and my executives." Freya said, still smiling. Her expression then went completely emotionless, scaring the shit out of everyone, and she said "I will only say this once. My daughter is my most prized child. If anyone so much as touches a hair on her head I will use the full might of my familia to grind you into oblivion."

Everyone stopped breathing until Freya resumed her smile as if nothing happened and said "Her Alias shall be Mani Hrosa. That is all."

As everyone processed the information Royman called an end to the meeting. After everyone else had left it was only Freya and Loki. Loki was pissed that Freya had an ace like that up her sleeve but couldn't bring herself to be truly upset after hearing the girl's story.

The two just looked at each other for a while until Freya finally broke their impromptu staring contest. "Loki dear, would you mind if I visited with little Aria? To introduce her to her big sister."

"Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhh, why the hell not. You seem extra fond of this one, what's up with that?" Loki replied.

A gentle smile graced Freya's lips, A smile Loki had never seen before, and she said "There are many things I never thought I would have Loki. In tenkai I was just a bird in a cage, and it has been much the same down here. Albeit much more entertaining. Among those things was having a true child. Ottar is close but he still worships me. Aria… Aria truly sees me as her mother. How could I not love her? She has given me something I truly believed impossible. A daughter."

Loki's perpetually squinted eyes went wide, she had never heard Freya be so… honest. "Haaa, well I suppose I should thank the girl. You've been much more manageable for a while, guess she's the reason." Loki said with a sigh.

As the two were leaving the chamber Loki just had to kill the mood with a typical Loki comment "Soooooo, what's her rack like?"

Freya's eyes went cold at that and she delivered a truly divine smack to the back of Loki's head. As she was walking away she turned back and said "We'll be there at noon tomorrow."

As Freya and her beloved daughter walked up north main street Freya couldn't not notice how much Aria was fidgeting. "What's wrong dear?"

"T-the stares… I've been basically invisible for a decade. And I'm not used to leaving Babel in anything but my battle dress." Aria replied, cheeks tinged with red.

Freya looked at the girl. Pink hair in a loose braid going all the way to her waist, A white sundress with jade embroidery of leaves to match her eyes, a pair of tan sandals. While the lack of sleeves was a bit odd for an elf, it really brought out her chest, it was quite tasteful. Freya thought back to Loki's comment yesterday and glanced at her daughter's bust. A bit bigger than mine. "You look absolutely stunning love."

Freya couldn't help but smile as Aria's cheeks went a shade darker than her hair. "B-but… what if she hates me? She is an Alf…" Freya smiled at the girl and said "I suppose we won't know until we see her, but I don't think there's anything to worry about. She left the Alf forest because she hated all the formality, and her father. Your father. I'm sure she will accept you with open arms."

Aria just nodded and fell into a thoughtful silence. Before long the two arrived at Twilight Manor, home of Loki familia, and were quickly ushered inside. They were led to a common room, served tea and told the others would be there shortly.

After several minutes of nervous anticipation the door opened again, but it wasn't Riveria that entered. Loki, her captain Finn Deimne, and the sword princess Ais Wallenstein walked in.

"Heya cutie! You must be Aria. I'm Loki and these are two of my favorites, Finn and Ais-tan." Loki said. Aria didn't miss how Ais flinched when Loki mentioned her name, but decided not to bring it up.

"It is an honor to meet you Loki-sama, Braver, Sword Princess." Aria said with a bow. Her polite greeting earned a smile from the Prum captain, and a nod from the blonde.

"Likewise, please just call me Finn. It's nice to see you're more… reasonable than the others in your familia." Finn said with a smile. Aria tilted her head at the comment and turned to Freya, who gave a nervous chuckle.

"Ahaha, you're a bit of an exception dear. Normally the others aren't very… friendly." Freya said. Aria hummed in response but left it at that.

"Umm… I don't mean to be rude, but is…" Aria said, visibly nervous. Finn and Loki gave her wry smiles and Loki said "Yeah, mama will be here soon. She's a bit nervous ya see."

"Mama?" Aria asked with another head tilt. Loki burst out laughing at that. After a few confusing, for Aria, minutes Loki calmed down and said "Riveria has a habit of looking after the younger members of our familia, though she would never admit it. Actually Ais-tan here is something like her adopted daughter."

Aria hummed in acknowledgement "I see… um, Ais-san, is there something wrong?" she asked, no longer able to brush off the blatant staring from the famous sword princess.

Ais blinked like she just realized she was staring and said "...We're the same age… but you're level six… how?" When Ais had been told about Aria she was shocked for two reasons, first because that is her mother's name, second because someone the same age as her was stronger than her. Loki and Finn had assured her that it was extremely unlikely that this Aria was related in any way to her mother.

Aria gave a nervous chuckle of her own and said "Well… I just tried my best. For the last nine years I've been either training or in the dungeon. I don't think I did anything special."

Freya instantly objected and grabbed Aria's hand "Nonsense! You're very special. The most special, really. Don't talk yourself down!"

Aria got extremely embarrassed and nearly turned into a tomato "M-mom…" She said, not able to get much else out. The other three present were quite surprised to hear the Freya be called mom, and act like one.

Before Freya could further embarrass the young woman the door opened again. A tall elf woman with Jade hair and eyes entered.

"S-sister…" Aria said suddenly a nervous wreck.

A/N Let me know if anyone else finds this interesting. Also any suggestions are welcome, current plan is to have Aria save Bell and Bell have to earn the approval of the Einherjar and Freya to get with her. Freya will be in full mom mode, no yandere.
