Wow. I didn't expect around 70 follows in a few days after I posted this. Is Hakuno-chan that popular? Whom am I kidding, she was popular as the first playable female protagonist in the Fate franchise and the Launcher of a Thousand Ships (see TV Tropes for more details on term) before F/GO started.

Doesn't help Arco Wada drew her cute and voiced by Yui Ishikawa helps add to that charm. When will she and her male counterpart be in F/GO as Servants? Enough ranting, take this extra chapter as a thank you for favoriting, reviewing, and following the story.


Two weeks have passed, and Bell Cranel felt at home in the Hestia Familia. His Goddess was very affectionate of him (much to his own flusters at times), Haruhime was gentle and lovely and a good friend to converse to about the tales of heroes they grew up listening to. And then there was Hakuno.

She was an enigma at times, he hardly sees her, but she was a powerful mage, the rookie adventurer he is knew it with that thing she called an Attack Program she created to help him train. She wanted him to gain some combat training before he was even allowed to enter the Dungeon and had Haruhime on standby with First Aid and Hestia supervising the Attack Program to follow her instruction on how to train Bell. It was her way of showing her concern for him as she had already ventured deep in the Dungeon before he did. Something about slaying Goliath again, much to Hestia's concern and Haruhime's bemused expression.

So, once he finished the appropriate amount of training, he was allowed to venture the Dungeon. Comparing the cold calculating precision of the Attack Program and its eyeless gaze, the Goblins and Kobolds were nothing more than unruly children as Bell easily cut them through with his knife.

Hakuno told him before she left that the Valis he earned will belong to him as his allowance until he gets to deeper floors. To reflect as his own hard work and allow him to gain experience with exploring the Dungeon. Reinvigorated by Hakuno's belief in him, he went deeper in.

"Hakuno-sama, Lili wonders…" the small petite girl referring to herself in third person as she looked at the spear Hakuno was wielding. "What kind of weapon is that?"

Liliruca Arde, a Prum that prefers being called Lili was a Supporter Hakuno hired a few times. She was also a thief, as testament of other adventurers she's robbed…except for Hakuno. When Hakuno displayed her brutality with magic against monsters, even magically crushing their hearts without looking at them made Lili swear to never cross the woman who can pretty much kill you with a glance. She was a no-steal target. She would rather face the Dungeon alone than to anger Hakuno, who was actually a sweet girl despite her dark clothing.

For starters, she treated Lili like a person instead of something to use and throw away, give her half their earnings from their expeditions and even shared some of her snacks with the Prum. She even went as far as to intimidate the entire Soma Familia into leaving Lili alone and make sure she was properly cared for. Something that Lili's former Captain never lived to uphold.

All in all, Hakuno Kishinami was a witch for sure, but with a caring heart fitting of a just ruler or a saint. No wonder she's called the Holy Witch, for sinners fear her and the mass adore her benevolence. She learns more of her Lady's nature with each encounter in Orario they have, of each battle in the Dungeon they partook in, and the meals they shared together. She's a kind woman through and through but will make sure things change for the better if she had any say in it. She had the strength to back it up as Hakuno's voice responded to her.

"I made it. From a simple spear shaped and altered by my magic. In the hands of its rightful owner can its true worth shine. Other than that, it will be a lifeless weapon." She replied as they made their way upwards. They were on the seventeenth-floor culling monsters for their magic stones, an important energy resource Orario used to power many of their devices and worth quite a bit from lower floors.

Hakuno's advisor always bemoans of the Holy Witch's antics of going to the lower floors just to slay Goliath on its daily respawn day just to get its magic stone to exchange. How she stored that stone was the simple reply of magic and that was it. Adventurers suspect she's going to get some skill specializing in giant slaying with her antics at the pace she's going.

That was when she paused and looked around. "Hakuno-sama?" Lili spoke up, looking confused as to why the girl stopped to look around. While Lili didn't know it, Hakuno felt it. A faint surge of comforting wind tickled at her hair as she looked in the direction of adventurers heading towards their direction. One look was all it took to realize it was the Loki Familia. And the one who was rushing from their group to meet them was Ais Wallenstein.

"Ais!"

"Lady Hakuno."

Lili blinked and switched from looking to Hakuno to Ais and back and forth as the two were smiling and conversing with each other like they were old acquaintances. Come to think of it, before Hakuno appeared, it was the Loki Familia that hunted the Goliath when the adventurers in Riveria couldn't. They must have met at least once in the Dungeon before Lili was hired by Hakuno.

"How did your expedition go?"

"Terrible. New monsters."

"Acid?" Hakuno guessed as she eyed the other members of the Loki Familia, noting the damaged clothing and lack of certain weapons and burn marks on skin.

Ais only nodded her eyes when she eyed Hakuno's spear. "Goliath?"

"Goliath." Hakuno nodded.

Lili and the Loki Familia could only blink at this exchange. How did these two understand each other so well with only a few words? "Heading back up to the surface?" Hakuno guessed as Ais nodded. From out of nowhere, Hakuno handed Ais something. A very popular snack in Orario that came in a whole variety of flavors and was unrivaled in Ais' desire to eat. The universal genius snack food Jagamaru-kun!

With that, Ais' eyes sparkled at the sight of the delectable food item in question and took with reserve joy as she began to nibble away at it. That was when the walls around them broke and a horde of minotaurs spawned in. "Such terrible manners…" Hakuno sighed as she flipped her spear and stabbed it into the ground, causing magical projections of the spear's end on a larger scale to appear and split every minotaur into two as their magic stones fell to the ground.

This sight alone startled the entire Loki Familia, especially the elves in particular as they just witnessed a human bypass the need to chant anything to use magic. And she singlehandedly wiped out a horde of minotaurs like it was nothing. It was then they realized the rumors of her one-shooting the Goliath might not be as exaggerated as thought to be. This girl, Hakuno Kishinami was dangerous, she alone was capable of disrupting the balance of power in Orario if she was so inclined.

Finn the Braver believed it, as his thumb was practically throbbing just by being near her. It was worse than with the King in Freya Familia, because that throbbing practically affected his entire hand the very minute she used her magic to wipe out the minotaurs.

"Let us be off then Ais, my newest Familia member should be trying out the Dungeon's top floors by now. I'm sure he'd like to meet a celebrity and a few words of inspiration from them." The witch smiled with a little coy smile as Ais blushed at that smile and a cold shiver.

An ominous feeling was back.

There was only one time she felt like this and that was when Hakuno was training with her and had that exact same smile. Last time was a sworn agreement of silence on what was dubbed the 'Panty Incident' and to never repeat anything of that incident at all. Something very bad was going to happen and Hakuno was going to have fun with it.

"Oh, you have a new member Hakuno-sama?" Lili asked, breaking Ais from her thoughts as Hakuno nodded her head.

"Yep, white hair, red eyes, looks like a rabbit. His name is Bell." Hakuno answered. Now Ais wondered how much of a rabbit this Bell looked like as Lili collected the magic stones of Hakuno's kills as the girl sighed in content.

"Of all the adventurers Lilli has worked with, Hakuno-sama is the best." Lili admitted while Hakuno smiled fondly at the Prum.

"Given how I was a Supporter of sorts myself when I first started my adventures, I understand your perspective a bit Lili." She replied with nostalgia in her tone as they all made their way towards the surface. But that tidbit of information only served to inspire Lili's loyalty to Hakuno while Ais felt respect for Hakuno's apparent growth from Supporter to full fledge Mage despite her age.

Even the grouchy werewolf that overheard them chatting with each other felt a smidgen of respect for Hakuno's growth. Supporters were looked down at for being weak by nature and Hakuno overcame it and became a genuine adventurer that even he couldn't mock at. There were truths here if seeing her kill those minotaurs that easily was something. Then the tale of her singlehandedly destroying the Ishtar Familia wasn't some baseless tale to scare off gods seeking to recruit her to their own Familia.

With that, the two opposite groups went home, with Hakuno and Ais side by side with a friendly atmosphere and few words in between.

Seriously though, how did they get along like that?

As Bell began exploring the fifth floor by his lonesome self, he felt as if he avoided entering a bear's cave with the bear still in it for some reason as he began looking around the slightly different area. He could explore some of the beaten off paths for more training against the monsters and collect their crystals, but at the same time he wanted to explore more floors. But his advisor, Eina warned him not to go too far in. He was supposed to remain around the fourth floor but decided it wouldn't hurt to peek at the next one and see what the difference was. He started hearing the sounds of marching feet and a familiar voice talking to someone.

"And there he is…being on the floor he's not supposed to be on…" came the voice of his Captain that was in monotone. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on edge, he never really heard Hakuno speak like that before, but he instinctively knew she was not happy with him as with the sound of a creaking door, he turned to see the source of the voice.

What he beheld were two goddesses. One he was familiar with since she first found him on the streets of Orario, the other was a golden beauty with grace and elegance of a warrior. Her bright colors contrasted Hakuno's dark scheme as if they were opposite elements. His heartbeat accelerated as his cheeks turned apple red as he turned and ran, screaming at the top of his lungs as he did so.

"Why did he…run away…?" Ais asked, looking a little hurt by that as Hakuno gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, he's just shy around girls. Also being caught red-handed like that in front of their Captain would make anyone flee." Hakuno answered.

Ais wasn't sure of that. While naturally anyone would flee from Hakuno with her reputation, it was a first for the Sword Princess herself that someone weaker than her ran away like that. But she had to admit, he really did look like a rabbit.

While Hakuno and Lili went to eat at the Hostess of Fertility alongside the Loki Familia, Hestia learned a bit more of Bell's feelings as a new skill appeared in his Falna.

Liaris Freese. A rare one-of-a-kind skill that boosted the growth rate depending on one's feelings. Of course, while Hestia was proud of such a skill, she was both worried and jealous at the same time. Worried because Bell is an honest kid and couldn't hide a secret and people will seek to steal him into their own Familia, and jealous because while she had taken a liking to Bell, the boy's heart had been won over by her own daughter Hakuno and then Loki's Wallenswhatsit.

Hakuno was a given because she was a sweet girl despite her power, but for Loki's prize girl, a beauty amongst the adventurers of Orario? Unforgivable.

But the term Freese, only one other adventurer in this Familia had such a skill in their Falna. Her daughter Hakuno had it, and unlike Bell's, hers supported others.

Memoria Freese. The crystallization of cherished memories. The more important memories Hakuno had, the better growth rates anyone in with the same Falna as hers grow. Of course, like with her, Hestia made a silent vow to never tell another soul of such skills. For she cared for her children's wellbeing and feelings and would not be happy with some arrogant god wanting them just for their skills and as trophies to display.

These were her children, and she vowed as a Goddess of the Hearth, Home and Family to keep them safe. If push comes to shove, she's willing to make a deal with her friend to give her the means to protect them. This she vowed.
