~A week later~

Jaune inhaled the air of Remnant. It has been over a month since he was back. Rather than returning to the dormitory, he decided to open a door in Vale to show the others the city and introduce it.

Jaune said, "Welcome to Vale, a bustling metropolis nestled in the heart of the world of Remnant."

As the sun gently rises over the horizon, its warm rays dance upon the myriad facets of Vale's towering buildings, casting a golden glow that seems to breathe life into the city.

He added, "Vale stands as a testament to the resilience of humanity against the encroaching darkness that looms just beyond its borders. Its colossal walls, a fusion of intricate architecture and formidable engineering, encircle the city like a guardian's embrace, offering protection from the ever-present threat of the Grimm."

Upon arriving in the city, they're immediately swept into a vibrant tapestry of cultures, each thread interwoven to create a rich and diverse fabric that makes up Vale's essence. The hum of life is a constant symphony, echoing through the streets as people from all walks of life traverse the avenues. Students clad in uniforms from the prestigious Beacon Academy stride purposefully, their eyes reflecting a mix of determination and youthful curiosity. Business people in sharp suits and dresses glide seamlessly through the throngs, their steps a rhythmic beat that adds to the city's vibrant pulse.

Jaune smiled and looked at the group that came back with them. There were Hephaestus, Hestia, and Loki, the Goddesses. Then comes Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Amber, Pyrrha, Nora, and Lei. That was all well and good, but there was an extra person with them. It was quite a short person.

She has a petite body with chestnut-colored hair and eyes, wearing a red and white hooded top that exposes her midriff, which used to be torn, and a red skirt that she chooses to leave unbuttoned. She also wears long-hand gloves, black tights, and light brown boots.

This girl was the supporter that Ruby and the others hired, but after knowing her situation, they decided to adopt her into the Familia. After learning about her situation, Jaune gladly paid for her release from the Soma Familia. Not once hesitating to give her a helping hand.

Many would ask, 'Why was she here with them on Remnant?'

The answer is complicated…Well, not really. Ruby and the others saw her as adorable. The way she looked and spoke, it all pointed to a little sister of the group. Not to be cruel, but Jaune wanted to leave her on Orario, but the others pleaded with him to let her come with them to Remnant to give her a new environment to start over.

Jaune said to the people that have never been on Remnant, "Come on! Let's show you places you wouldn't find in Orario. First stop! The arcade!"

The Goddesses and Lili asked, "The arcade? What's that?"

Jaune replied, "It is a place to play games. But they are games unlike anything Orario has ever seen. It's fun, trust me! I used to go here all the time when I was younger."

With excitement, Ruby said, "Oh! Can we play the shooting game? It's my favorite! Or the game where you get to assemble Mechashift! My fastest time is one minute for weapons I have never seen before, and thirty seconds for the weapons I'm familiar with."

Similarly to Ruby, Yang said, "I'm in! I haven't played fighting games in an arcade for a long time. I got used to playing with my scroll. I wonder if I'm still as good with traditional controls?"

For Weiss, she said, "This is a new experience for me. I've never been to an arcade. If my father ever got wind of me playing games, he would go ballistic, saying, 'The elite do not play games! We are above people that waste their time on such trivial things!' Well, father! I want to experience these trivial things too!"

Jaune hugged Weiss, saying, "Calm down, Weiss. Soon, he would not have a single hold on what you do. Heck! If he tries to force you to do anything you don't want, I'll gladly tell him to fuck off with my fist!"

Weiss smiled. She liked what she heard. She liked the kind and gentle Jaune but found his more badass side quite hot. It cames her to want to do things with herself as she imagines him ravishing her. Or, she wishes he would take her somewhere, and they could have intimate body contact that would make Nora blush. The kind with whips and paddles, as she calls him 'Daddy!'

Nora saw Weiss blushing and teased her, saying, "Oh, my! Is the Ice Queen having a kinky fantasy about our hunk of a boyfriend? Come, tell us, Weiss. What is it about? With your strict upbringing, I bet it is something steamy like S&M play! With paddle and everything! Then you'd say, 'Come on, Daddy! Hit me harder! Punish me! I've been a bad girl!"

Weiss couldn't deny it as it was the truth! All she could do was hide her face as Jaune hugged her. She was very embarrassed.

Not getting an answer, Yang said, "Damn! Nora got you figured out, Weiss. I didn't know you were into those kinds of kinky things. Respect!"

Stuttering, Weiss said, "Can we no longer talk about my fantasy? We are planning to go to the arcade, are we not? Then let's go and have fun there, and not at my expense."

Loki leaned into Hestia and said, "This group is more interesting than I thought. They're all in a harmonic relationship with a single guy, who happens to be…someone I find fascinating."

Lili thought as she watched the others having fun, 'Lili wanted to join in the fun, but Lili didn't know how to integrate with the others. After all, Lili is an outsider who nearly betrayed the others' goodwill.'

Nora noticed Lili and said, "Hey, Lili! What do you think about Wiess' imagination about the big man in our Familia? Isn't it kinky?"

Lili smiled and said, "Lili believes people have different preferences in these things."

With a teasing smile, Nora said, "He-he! If you're saying that, does that mean you have a preference on how a man should take you as he ravishes you? Let's hear it."

Lili blushed and said franticly, "L-Lili does not mean anything by what she said! Lili knows nothing about such subjects! And Lili definitely does not think Jaune-sama should worship her petite body as he ravishes her!"

Realizing what she had just said. Lili's face turned crimson, and she started feeling light-headed, causing her to nearly faint, but Jaune caught her, which caused her to faint.

Loki looked at Hestia with a question, asking, "How exactly did Jaune meet that Pallum girl? I don't remember seeing her in the beginning."

Hestia sighed, saying, "It all started a week ago in Orario. The girls were tired of picking up all the loot, causing their training to be cut short as they needed to take time to pick up the drop items or leave them. So they suggested taking in a supporter. If my knowledge is right, the Pallum approached the girls and asked if they needed a supporter. Seeing how adorable she was, they did not think about anything and hired her…"

Hestia continued to tell the story.

~A week ago in Orario~

The girls were discussing where to look for a supporter by a fountain. They did not know how to hire one in the first place. They might have dozed off a bit, including Weiss.

Ruby said, "Weiss! You're always prim and proper. Did you happen to listen when Eina was talking about supporters?"

Weiss looked at Ruby weirdly before sighing and saying, "S-Sorry, I did not. This is why we must learn not to fall asleep during a lecture."

Yang said with her hands on her hips, "We can go back to the manor and ask Jaune. Or, we can head to the guild and ask Eina about supporters."

It was then Lili came, saying, "Hey there! I heard you are all looking for a supporter. May I be of service?"

Everyone looked where the voice came from and saw an adorable little girl even shorter than Ruby.

Nora, who was with the group, said, "She is adorable!"

Yang said, "I can't argue with that. She reminds me of a younger Ruby, especially with the hood."

Weiss questioned the girl, saying, "Are you sure you should be going to the dungeon? How old are you?"

Lili replied, "Lili is a fullfledge supporter! She is fifteen! Lili is part of a Familia!"

Nora looked at the others and said, "Can we keep her as our permanent supporter? Can we?"

Lei sighed, saying, "Nora, please calm down."

Nora said, "But Lei! She reminds me of a younger us! She reminds me of when we used to go around Mistral doing things we shouldn't do to survive! Like stealing! Plus, I heard people talking about how supporters have it hard due to crappy adventurers that reflect their shortcomings on their hired supporters. I bet she reminds me of us because of the hardship she had to deal with!"

Lili heard this and was shocked. She did not think the adventurers she met would have such an experience. She understood the need to do so to survive.

Lei looked at the others, saying, "What do you think? Should we hire her as a supporter? She seems quite competent if she could lug around such massive baggage."

Amber said, "We can do a trial run today. If she does well, we could consider hiring her again."

Lili said to make them hire her, "Lili is a great supporter! She can show you today how amazing she is!"

Everyone then agreed to let Lili be their supporter for today. If she does well, there is no reason not to hire her again.

Heading to the dungeon with their new supporter, the group started their usual routine of killing monsters and gaining Excelia. Everyone in the group was already Level 3, which is impressive since they had only been an adventurer for around a month. Their speed was something to be envied.

Lili watched as the girls slaughtered their way to the lower dungeon. Today, their objective was to reach the fiftieth floor—a place Jaune reached very quickly. Then again, they learned not to compare themselves to him since he was a cheat! They learned of his [Gluttony], which allows him to gain the stats of the monsters he killed.

Yang said, "Thinking about Jaune's [Gluttony] skill vexes me! How is an OP ability like that not have a side effect or drawback?"

Lei said, "If you listened to his explanation, you would know that it did have a drawback, but the [Blank Card] he used to copy the ability did not copy the drawback. Thus, he doesn't have a drawback."

Yang, as she slaughtered the monsters, said, "Guh! I know! I want to vent a bit. I've been trying to catch up to Jaune, only to learn he suddenly got so much stronger in no time!"

Lili did not much care for the conversation she was hearing as she understood nothing of it. But, the plans she was planning on doing went out the window. Who knew the people she would be joining were big shots? The way they slaughtered through the 1st to the 20th floor was record-breaking. Plus, she wouldn't have time to enact her plan since there were so many monster cores and drop items to pick up.

She thought, 'Maybe Lili does not have to do her thing with these people. There are so many cores. I can hide some for myself. I don't think they would notice. And with this, the amount I would need will be enough!'
