True Caring
A/N: Hello everyone I do hope things have gone great for all of you, and we are back with Jaune and Bell being great adventurers. Now people have been wondering if Lili will do that betraying thing she did to Bell in canon, but here, I will tell you this that

But anyway, we last left off Jaune being on a date, somewhat with the goddess Demeter, and saving Lili from the people who essentially mugged her, and met the Ganesha familia's captain, who in this story is law enforcement, along with the guild of course. And Jaune shown Lili another adventurer is a good person. She is shown that she is loved by others, and Demeter doing good for her by comforting her.
Now we will see now what will happen going forward into the dungeon, and how Jaune's interaction has changed the outcome in canon, with all of that said.
Let's Go!
Lili was now sleeping in Demeter's lap, she was exhausted mentally and spiritually. The goddess was just smiling lovingly down on her like a mother does for her child, and rubbing her hand through her hair. Jaune was sitting next to them, looking at Lili, and he felt sad for her. She felt that she doesn't deserve any help or love, and no one will do it for her. That is such a sad existence, now that he thought of it more.
How many people feel that here on this world, and back in Remnant. His mind drifted to Cinder if she probably was like that. But, he came to a conclusion that even if she was raised right, she would have probably been the same kind of woman that she was before she died.
Maybe not as homicidal, but he still feels that she would have been a complete jerk. Cinder enjoyed what she did, causing pain onto others, she didn't bat an eye when Vale was burning, and she didn't care about the lives she took, she enjoyed people suffering, and that is evil.
She probably would have been manipulative, and did things just for to get on top of things. She probably wouldn't have killed anyone, hopefully, but she would probably ruin someone. So he has no sympathy for her.
But Lili here. He could tell that she is not that far gone, and she can be truly a good person. She just never had the chance to be something more than what others put on her. She shared how some in her familia were always desperate for money. But they always take her share, due to being a supporter, thinking that she is nothing too important, and can just be taken advantage of.
Jaune was enraged at that, and his heart bled for her. When he said such a little girl to go through that is sickening. But Lili corrected him and saying that she is 15. That made Jaune's eyes widen. He has been studying up on some other races, and read that pallums along with humans are considered the most weakest of the all the races. But that is just their personal biases. Pallums can actually see in the dark! Just like certain faunus in his world, that is crazy. So they still consider humans the weakest. The other races are gifted in something.
But with humans, they have nothing.
They would say that humans don't have anything special, some could say it's their will, but other races have that, in spades too. But that's what makes humans so unique. Even though they have nothing to show for in the eyes of other races, they still carry on, and not give up until the very end. That is what makes humans so unique, they have nothing special, but can come up on top without anything unique to their species.
It still scares Jaune to hear that pallums are so short even though they are grown adults. You can't really tell unless usually if a guy grows facial hair, or they tell you their age. The tallest pallum on record that he knows of is about 4'5. Heck Weiss is about 4'10 without heels, the only person he knows is shorter than her is that Neapolitan girl, that was with Roman Torchwick. He seen that in her profile she is around 4'7-4'8 without heels! And she was drop dead gorgeous! He could say that Lili is cute, she does not have that age to be called gorgeous. That most he could call her is beautiful.
Ruby was like that when he first met her, she was adorable, cute and quirky. Now he will call her down right beautiful, and possibly gorgeous. Maybe in a year, she would have earned that title, but now all he has is memories of her.
But with Jaune he kept thinking on what he can do for Lili. Shakti was standing there, thinking to herself about the Soma familia. The guild noticed, and her familia noticed that how desperate and how willing they were to get valis.
She had reports of some adventurers doing pass parades on other adventurers. And they were forced to drop any magic stones and other loot and drops. When they go back to retrieve them if they could, they were always gone. Some even reported of being mugged. A lot in the Soma familia, just looked so crazed, when it comes to money.
And the forefront came into play when a few of the Soma familia tried to threaten and rob, some starting adventurers for taking down a Jack bird, and tried to take their rightfully earned egg. They even tried to attack them again in the guild hall!
They probably thought that if they were going down they would take them with them.
So by that logic, they tried to kill them, but from what she heard that, one of the adventurers managed to subdue them, and other adventurers held them down, until like a few of her own familia came in to arrest them.
She was just speechless, hearing that a level 1 newbie beat down, seasoned adventurers, sure a few were just level 2s, but it takes a long time to level up usually, depending on how much dedication that adventurer has been in the dungeon. Ais Wallenstein, is still the record holder, of leveling up in a year. But to know that someone could beat level a level 2 just starting out is just, unheard of. What could other familas give and do just to have that person in their familia, was unprecedented. After a long silence and Lili taking a small nap, just to rest her brain, she eventually awoken after almost 15mins of sleep.
She woke up, seeing an amazing bust above her, and she shot up in shock and a hurry and accidently hit them, causing Jaune to gasp a little, and Lili to eep slightly, hitting her face below her. Demeter just looked on with her without a look of shock. But then she just grabbed Lili and put her between her chest hugging her.
"Oh my you are so cute, I just want to hold you forever!" Demeter said holding a flailing Lili, trying to free herself from her grasp, due to her almost suffocating. Shakti and Jaune looked at this with a sweat drop, and sheepish, but genuine laugh. Demeter really did treat others like her children, and she loves to tease people. Before anything else could happen, Jaune put a stop to this.
"Hey, Lady Demeter, I think Lili needs to be breath." Jaune said getting her attention. Demeter looked at him a little confused, but looked down at Lili still struggling but was slowing down, she removed Lili's head from her bosom, and Lili took a big breath of air. She gasped, and breathed heavily trying to breath properly.
"I-I thought, I was able to see my mom and dad." Lili said still gasping for air slightly.
Jaune gave a chuckle, it reminded him of Nora's hugs. But more literal bone crushing, and less smothering.
"Oh my, I am terribly sorry Lili, are you ok?" Demeter asked in slight worry. Lili just looked up and blushed a little in embarrassment, and looked away slightly.
"Y-yeah I'm fine, I just got caught off guard." Lili said to her truthfully. Demeter sent back to rubbing her hair, much to Lili's happiness. But it was short lived, due to Shakti wanting to get down to business.
"Ok, everyone, let's get down to business." Shakti said getting everyone's attention. "Lili from what you told us your familia is guilty of many crimes. They constantly extort you, and others for valis but you didn't say for what exactly." Shakti said to her, getting everyone there to look serious.
Lili was hesitant to talk and just looked down. Demeter placed her in between Jaune and her, and rubbed the top of her head. Jaune decided to do his part, and gave her a side hug, and rubbed her shoulder. She looked up to him with some shock, and Jaune just gave her a friendly smile. Reassuring her that she has his and Demeter support. She gave small and this time genuine smile. And she took a deep breath but still looked down sadly. That will take time to open up to people who are kind to her.
"I-it's because of wine." This caused Jaune and Shakti to look confused. But Demeter gained slight determined look, she knew exactly what she was talking about now. But Jaune looked confused. He was not familiar with other gods really. That is something he will need to look up on.
"Wine?" Jaune asked. Qrow would love the place then. Lili just shook her head yes, and looked into Shakti's eyes.
"Yes, you are familiar to Soma's wine and how good it tastes correct?" Lili asked. Shakti nodded. She doesn't normally drink, but she did taste Soma's wine, it was some of the most best damned wine she ever had. But Jaune didn't know.
"What's so special about his wine?" Jaune asked confused. All the ladies looked at Jaune confused at this. He flinched at their looks, that's right he is still new!
"I-I ask this because for one I don't really drink, probably never really, and I am still new to Orario, and I haven't done much research on other gods in the city yet." Jaune said to them, their confused looks turned to understanding. Demeter could tell he was telling the truth.
"Ok, well to give you context, Soma is a god of wine. It is his lively hood and one of the only things he cares about." Lili told him. Jaune was shocked at that. A god specially towards wine, wow! Demeter saw his confused, and shocked look, and decided to throw him a bone.
"It's true Jaune." Demeter said to him. "Many gods have a domain over something, like Ganesha is the god of the masses, and will protect and entertain the people. While I am a goddess of harvest. But keep in mind most gods have more than one dominion or something similar, but can do things differently." Demeter said to Jaune. He just nodded at that, that was really interesting hear, multiple dominions over something it makes sense in a way. But then Jaune could see a scheming, and teasing look in her eyes, and on her lips forming a smile.
She put her hand on her cheek and leaned into it slightly.
"I am also a goddess of agriculture….and fertility." Demeter said with a very sultry tone. Jaune just blushed at this. Along with Lili, Shakti just had a dust of pink on her cheeks at this. But Demeter wasn't done yet!
"How about it Jaune, you could create amazing children. I could help out." Demeter said leaning forward letting Jaune see her amazing bust, with her boobs resting on Lili's head. Jaune just gained an atomic blush and almost fell backward, along with Lili. Shakti gained an actual blush.
She knew goddesses can't get pregnant, but she just offered herself to this new adventurer! Jaune and Lili were just stuttering messes. Demeter stop them both with a laugh.
"Fufufufu, oh you are so easy to tease Jaune." Demeter laughed much to Jaune's and Lili's shock, and Shakti's annoyance. But Jaune felt a little sad, he was teased by girls before, and it always ended with heart break, and they laughed in his face. But Demeter reached over and grabbed his hand held it and rubbed it gently. It was like she could feel his sadness.
"I am sorry for teasing you like that, I really do care for Jaune, even in the brief moment that we met, if I truly knew you better then I would be open to that, and that is the truth." Demeter said in a genuine smile. Jaune just blushed again, and looked away.
A literal goddess, said she wouldn't mind bedding with him!
Lili and Shakti were just flabbergasted at this. Demeter rarely let anyone sleep with her. This young man must be something extremely special, and that is truly amazing.
But for some reason, Lili felt….jealous…and pouty? But why though? Demeter then gained another serious look. She was back to business.
"But anyway, Soma has always been so focused on wine and almost nothing else, even back in heaven. But I will tell you this, the Soma wine that is sold, the expensive ones, are no where near the perfected one." Demeter said to them. This caused Jaune to have widen eyes, recovered from the previous revelation. But now shocked by the current revelation.
Shakti was surprised too. The wine she had was so amazing, she could drink it all day, and not care if she got drunk! Lili was having a determined look, but it turned into a sad and defeated look.
"She's right you know, the ones that people are more accustomed to, are failures." Lili said to them. Jaune was surprised, and Shakti was just speechless, and utterly shocked. Something like that even better, could possibly cause euphoria to the one drinking. Alcohol is already like a drug but with that?! Shakti then made a realization.
"For gods that could make them simply drunk, and have euphoria." Shakti started. "But for mortals like us that could put us in a drunken stupor, and possibly completely addicted." Shakti made the realization. That made Jaune looked concerned, he already knows that alcohol can be addictive already, Qrow was a great example of that, poor guy. But this, is something else.
Lili just nodded at this.
"It's true, when we join the familia, you will get a sip of the completed Soma wine. It was an amazing thing to experience at the time, it felt like all the world's problems fade away, that you had the most amazing orgasm and lasted for a while, basking in it's afterglow. And your just at piece." Lili gave a little too graphic description of the stupor the wine does to you, but she had to truly say what it does do you.
"But the issue of taking a sip, it goes away too quickly and people want more. So if the Soma familia member can make enough Valis, they could get a cup of wine." Lili said to them. Jaune just looked disgusted at this.
"All that just for a cup of wine, how much is it for just a cup?!" Jaune asked in shock, and a little bit of rage. Lili just looked down at this.
"A-about 300,000 valis." Lili said to them. This caused Jaune's, Demeter's, and Shakti's eyes to widen. Especially Demeter and Shakti. They seen the prices, for them it was way too much!
"Why is it so much, the imperfected wine only goes for 60,000 valis, the perfected, should only be 100,000-200,000 valis. And that is a pretty sizable gourd." Demeter questioned at first. Shakti nodded at this. All that just for a cup, that is not fair for the familia. They looked to the side seeing a faint golden glow. It was Jaune, and his aura was showing.
Jaune noticed that since he received his blessing, his aura became more powerful, and it would actively glow when he got angry usually. But that only started happening when his stats starting increasing, he needed to ask Hestia about that, but the divine blessing probably just boosted him, to show it off more, that and his semblance.
They could feel his anger somewhat, and they could tell it was not directed towards them. Some people, high level adventurers, can emit an aura that can stun other people who are of a lower level, or a weak will, it was unheard of a level 1 could do this, usually they are only a level 3, who could!
Jaune was so angry, that a god would do this to his familia!
"How could such an ass of a god, do that to his familia, do this to you?!" Jaune growled out. Lili blushed at Jaune's anger for her. This-this person truly cared for her, and others who suffer, she was grateful to him. But Lili needed to put his anger to rest. She grabbed Jaune's hand, it was warm, like it was when he healed her, she felt safe, and comforted. She just looked up a him, she looked into his eyes, the blues in his eyes looked like they were glowing, like a gem starting to shine in the sun. She could look into them all day and not get tired. Demeter was the same, she started blushing seeing him, she felt hot at this. Shakti was surprised herself.
It was inspiring seeing someone angry at such injustice. It truly reminded her of her late sister, by the gods she misses her so much, and wished she could have met Jaune, they would have gotten along well.
"Jaune, please it's ok, besides Soma isn't the one who made that rule." Lili comforted Jaune to calm him down, it did a little, his eyes stopped glowing slightly. He arched an eyebrow confused, along with the others there.
"Soma is very…..reclusive, and barely even interacts with the familia, unless it's for checking on status', leveling up, or selling his wine, other than that he doesn't even talk to anyone, just working on wine." Lili said to him. But Jaune just frowned at that still glowing slightly.
"That still doesn't comfort me Lili, it just tells me that "Lord" Soma is neglectful." Jaune said Lord in spite. Shakti and Lili twitched slightly, a little shocked how Jaune was so angry about a god. Sure mortals revere gods, but they never say anything bad about them out loud to others, unless they were ok saying it with others who agree. Demeter, nodded, with Jaune's distaste.
She can agree with mortals being disappointed in certain gods down here, especially if they are abusive, she knows that she can't change them, and wants to help their children, but it is what it is sadly. But, she does hope that Jaune will learn to at least show respect towards gods in front of them, not all gods are neglectful and harmful, they are loving and helping. True a lot are selfish, and greedy, but she has seen gods change their attitudes over time, meeting the mortals, starting familias, they became better people. Hestia is a great example, along with her.
She used to be extremely stingy when it came to produce, and giving it to others. Deeming great ones as failures, and excellent as good, and not selling, or giving them. She tries to make them as perfect as possible now, but as she started her familia many, upon many of years ago, she mellowed out, and became more gentler and understanding. She knows Soma was always a loner, but something is different with this, why would he give people a sip of his wine, and turn them away?
And he's not charging them for that, then who? Lili will answer her questions.
"I know, but, he isn't really the main problem, it's our familia captain, named Zanis." Lili said looking down. This caused everyone to listen intently. She just looked down in sadness, and breathed in and out.
"He is a very greedy captain, he was the one who put that price in for the cup of wine." Lili confessed, this caused the others to be surprised, the captain is calling all the shots! But Lili wasn't done.
"He also makes others pay fees for being on the compound, steals money from other adventurers, uses others in dives, hoarding magic stones and drops. He black mails others to do what he wants, and even caused the deaths of other adventurers, usually new adventurers, and use others as meat shields so they can escape. Lili believes that she is on that chopping block if a dire situation was happened. Since I'm a supporter they find Lili, disposable." Lili said, tearing up a little.
They all looked down with an unreadable expression. Jaune reached over to her, and hugged her firmly.
Lili was just frozen at this. In one night, she is getting so many hugs, it was starting to get a little weird for her. She felt something drip on her head. She looked up slightly to see him crying slightly. This cause Lili to look on with shock and awe. A person crying for her?! She started to tear up too.
Demeter did a group hug with them giving Lili the love she so desperately needed. There was no love in the familia, just money, and every man for themselves, that is no way to live, you are surviving by trampling over others, that is just disgusting! Jaune then started to talk to her.
"I-I am so sorry Lili. Your going through a lot just to get by I can tell. You didn't tell us everything that you had to go through, but hearing that they see you as expendable is just, so, wrong!" Jaune said his voice raised slightly. Lili just started to cry again.
Oh no, she already did this earlier!
This is the first time someone showed genuine kindness to her, and was willing to fight for her. This young man was willing to help out a complete stranger, not for anything in return, but it was the right thing to do. Demeter was just rubbing Lili's back, and Jaune's head.
Shakti looked on a few tears shed, but quickly composed herself. It has been a while since she seen something like this. Someone caring so much for someone else that wasn't in their familia, it was amazing, and refreshing.
Jaune composed himself and looked Lili in her slightly puffy and brown eyes.
"Listen Lili, I want you to be in a better place, is there a way for someone to leave a familia, and join another?" Jaune asked her. Lili nodded. Demeter spoke up now.
"There is, an adventurer can leave a familia, but she will need permission from her god first before she could leave. But with how Soma is." Demeter said to him.
"He probably won't let her go." Jaune finished. Shakti was thinking on how she could report this to the guild, about this Zanis character, he was probably more intelligent, able to do this for a while now, he was probably able to cover his tracks pretty well. She needs more evidence for her to do anything properly.
"It's not just how Lord Soma is, he might let Lili leave, but it all comes back to Zanis again." Lili said to them. Making Jaune groan a little, he really doesn't like this Zanis guy. They waited for Lili's reason for that.
"We have to pay fee in order to leave. I have been saving up valis for over the years so I can leave." Lili said to them. This caused all of them to raise a brow at this. Demeter and Shakti were getting pissed at this. Making a fee just to leave a familia, is a back look for a familia. It dissuades others from joining, and will refuse to work, or even look out for others in said familia. It's really a bad look for everyone.
Shakti knelt down and looked Lili in the eyes, and put her hands on her shoulders.
"Lili, how much is this fee?" Shakti questioned her. Jaune and Demeter was waiting with bated breath for an answer. Lili was quiet for almost a minute still gathering herself to speak.
"I-it's 10….million valis just to leave." That dropped a bomb on the three listening. Jaune just had his jaw dropped at such a price. Shakti's arms slacked a little. And Demeter's eyes widened, and she put a hand on her mouth to cover her gasp.
Now granted, more well off familias could handle that price for the most part, usually a high stat level 3, going into the deeper floors could possibly make that in a month, if they don't work together, but for someone to leave a familia like that, is almost impossible!
Jaune looked down to his feet. How can she pay that off, he is barely able to go further down, due to his level and permission from Rose! But, what can he do? Demeter wanted to help her out too, but, then it will show she will be playing favoritism to someone outside of her familia. If they hear that a high ranking goddess did that she will get a lot of flack from her familia, and others will expect the same treatment. And when she doesn't give it, they will want to leave, and not supply Orario with produce that everyone needs!
Shakti was in the same boat with the goddess. But she can't do it due to her reputation of a captain, and a high ranking one too. They will see that she is showing favoritism, to someone outside of her own familia. And the reputation she will have will cause others not to take her, and her familia seriously.
But, she can help out with the injustice that Zanis has done, but she needs to plan out how to do it.
Lili looked down, believing that it was over.
'I knew it. I knew that Lili will not have help with this kind of work. I knew it was too good to be true.' Lili thought thinking the worse, she got up to leave but Jaune grabbed her arm, and she looked down to see Jaune's hair covering his eyes.
"Lili, how much did you manage to save up, and how long have you been with the Soma familia?" Jaune asked, in a commanding tone, but the tone wasn't cruel, but kind. Lili just blinked in shock, why was Jaune asking her that?!
"U-ummm, about 3million valis, and I've been in it for years, ever since Lili was 8." Lili revealed. Shakti and Demeter was shocked to hear how much Lili has saved up over the years. Anyone could have had 10 million by now, but supporters aren't always treated well and doesn't get a lot valis, especially from a familia like hers! Jaune then stood up, and walked in front of her. He looked down at her , and then he knelt down to try to get to her eye level. He gained a determined look.
"Lili, how about you come work with me as my supporter so you can get your valis?" Jaune volunteered, causing Lili to jump in shock. Demeter and Shakti blinked in surprise at this.
"W-what, b-b-but the amount I need will take a really long time, and you may be targeted by more of my familia?!" Lili tried to talk him out of it. But Jaune just kept his determined face.
"Then let them come." Jaune said to her. Making the others look on with shock and awe. Lili especially.
"W-what did you just say?" Lili asked quietly, not believing what she was hearing.
"I said let them come, if they are anything like the people I beat up, I will take them all. And I my captain would feel the same way." Jaune said to her. Making Lili just be speechless. Demeter just looked on with awe to see such a brave and kind soul like him. It was inspiring and incredibly, enticing seeing this. Shakti looked on, she could see her sister saying this, and that caused her to tear up.
"B-but why would you help Lili? Lili is also a theif, I was able to gather a lot by stealing from other adventurers not just my familia, but others who hired me, I am not a trusted person, Jaune!" Lili tried to talk him out of it. Shakti looked at her at that. It made sense for a supporter to make that much over the years, she would have to be desperate in order to leave, she isn't going to report or arrest her but, she will warn her, if she accepts Jaune's offer. Jaune just smiled at her. He thought about Ren and Nora, what they probably had to do, to get where they were now. So, he will give her the benefit of the doubt.
"Yes, you did, but what matters now is what you choose to be." Jaune said to her, making Lili's eyes widen. "We all have done things we are not proud of, and we may think sometimes we don't deserve to be forgiven, or be given chances, second chances, or third chances, but I am willing to do that for you Liliruca Arde." Jaune said to her causing the girl to tear up.
"B-but why would you do this for me?" Lili asked in a quiet tone. Jaune looked at her and put both hands on her face to make her look at him.
"Because your someone who needs help, and I want to help you. Not just because your girl if your thinking that, not for anything in return. Because I want to help Lili, because your you, and you need someone to be there for you, to pick you up when you need it, and be there for them, ok?" Jaune said looking at her. When he said that to her, he thought of how he helped Ruby out of that little crater. And how Pyrrha helped him to become a better fighter. He will continue to be someone his friends and family can be proud of, and if he ever meets them again, he will tell them how he was able to save and help someone, like a true hero.
Lili just started crying her eyes out again, and just ran into Jaune, and sobbing her eyes out, letting everything go. Jaune just hugged her and rubbed her back. Demeter was moved to tears with his declaration, it was so beautiful.
'Hestia you are so lucky to have two great adventurers in your familia. I could tell that white haired boy was something special for you to change, but to have two, I am so jealous, just seeing this makes me so happy.' Demeter thought to herself.
'But don't worry Hestia, I won't take him from you, he is part of your familia, and you deserve all the love of them you can get. But I will say this, I will have him as a lover someday.' Demeter thought to herself.
'A heart that big, he will have more for others, but I want to know Jaune better for that first, I want to see what truly makes him shine. And I can already see, it's for helping and uplifting others.' Demeter thought a tad perversely.
'Jaune I will root for you of getting a lover, I just want to be apart of it, I don't care if I am not number 1, I want to see what will happen moving forward.' Demeter thought to herself determinedly , and smirk slightly.
'And I see he may have found his first one, but who knows?' Demeter thought a little teasingly.
Shakti looked on with hope. Hope that justice is not a fleeting thing, hope that people can be better, and hope that there will be more in the future, and she will live by that example. She already took her job seriously, but she can do so in more joy, and pride knowing that there will be others out there to do what is right. She herself started to cry to, this was a touching moment.
'Sister, your will continues to live on, and I will make sure it will continue to live!' Shakti said in determination.
Lili stopped crying after sometime, but composed herself. Jaune looked on trying to think of what to do next.
"So Lili will you join my party?" Jaune asked, and Lili looked slightly hesitant.
"Lili really wants to but, I am already contracted with someone, we will have to talk to him about that contract." Lili said sheepishly, and blushing a little, both from the crying and her emotions with Jaune. Jaune just looked on in thought at this, what can they do about this?
"Is he at least reasonable, because I may have a plan that can help all of us, I can join a party with him for a brief time, and I can talk to him to see if you can get contracted with me, sound good?" Jaune asked her. Lili thought of it for a second, her eyes quickly widened in realization! Master Bell was very kind and understanding, and to have two great people with her, it will be a no brainer!
"He is actually very kind, I didn't really believe his kindness at least until now, seeing how you care so much about Lili even though we just met, it is truly amazing. But please Jaune, don't just help others randomly especially if they are shifty, people can be really dangerous." Lili said almost begging him. Jaune stood up looking at her with agreement.
"Don't worry Lili, I know when to help others when they truly need it, I know when people can be…tricky." Jaune said, ending in sad look. He thought of Cinder and her team. He truly thought that they were their friends, but now, now he is able to look out more, especially with Ex-Headmaster Lionheart.
Lili was glad with this so she hugged him again, which Jaune returned.
Demeter just stood up, and walked up to them, getting their attention.
"I think it's safe to say that you have plan to help out this adorable young lady here, but I think we should really get going, we don't want to keep our familias waiting." Demeter said getting everyone ready to leave. Her familia is probably worried sick for her.
Shakti nodded at this.
"Agreed, my familia was expecting me back sometime ago, but rest assured, I will help in anyway I can. I just need more evidence to truly do something." Shakti said to them. Jaune and Lili nodded grateful that she is willing to help. And he looked down at Lili.
"Lili are you able sleep somewhere safe? I can meet up with you and the one your contracted with tomorrow." Jaune asked her. Lili just nodded.
"Lili does, I live outside the compound, people there become so obsessed with getting just a drop of it, it is almost unlivable, and I don't want anyone to take things from me while I stay there, it would be a terrible time for Lili." Lili reassured them.
This caused Jaune to sigh in relief.
"Ok good, do you need any of us to walk you home?" Jaune asked her. Lili just nodded.
"I would like that, are you able to Jaune?" Lili requested, Jaune just nodded, but then turned to Demeter.
"Lady Demeter, will you be ok from here on out, I'm so sorry I couldn't walk you home tonight." Jaune said to her apologizing for not doing it for her. Demeter just shook her head slightly and smiled at him.
"No, it's ok Jaune, I completely understand. Thank you so much for accompanying me today, I really enjoyed our time, it was truly a blessing to be with you." Demeter said to him smiling at him lovingly.
Jaune just blushed a little, laughed a little and rubbing the back of his head.
"I-it's no problem at all, thank you for having me, truly." Jaune thanked her, Lili started to pout a little for some reason. Shakti just smirked at this, he was a little cute in her eyes.
But Demeter wasn't done there.
"You do deserve a reward for doing such good things today." Demeter spoke with mischievous look and tone, that even Loki would be impressed with.
"Oh no it's oka-" Jaune spoke trying to deny a gift, but was silenced when Demeter just kissed him on his mouth. Her eyes were half lidded and she moaned a little in his mouth, and he felt her tongue in his. The kiss lasted almost 10 seconds, she removed her mouth from his. With a trail of saliva tracing back to her.
Shakti and Lili were just frozen, with their eyes wide open, and their jaws dropped. Demeter licked her lips, and then just hugged Jaune.
"I'm sorry for doing that so sudden, but seeing how you were willing to help out Lili here, and your dedication for helping others, it was so beautiful, I couldn't keep my emotions in check, you deserved something Jaune, and I did it because I like and care for you, and please don't lose that kind heart of yours, please." Demeter spoke truthfully to him. Jaune just nodded dumbly.
Demeter just giggled at this, and waved goodbye to them. They see her swaying her hips showing off that she had a very impressive rear, almost peach or heart shaped even. Lili just looked on in extreme jealously, and pushed Jaune. Jaune just fell over much to Shakti and Lili's surprise.
After that things were uneventful. Jaune walked Lili home, and said to meet by the fountain at 7AM, that's when she will be meeting her contracted adventurer. He nodded at this, and agreed with that.
Jaune made his way home well enough, and he seen that Bell and Hestia weren't home yet, so he decided to fall asleep early, it was a very emotional day.
It was morning time and Jaune was walking with Bell. He was very shocked to hear of what happened to Jaune.
"You really saved someone from being robbed?!" Bell yelled out. Jaune just laughed a little and smiled at him.
"Yep, and she is a supporter, I told her she can form a party with me, if she wanted to, but she told me she is already contracted with someone, so I made a compromise, saying that we could make it a group party so everyone wins, and if he wanted, he could have Lili just contract with me." Jaune said to him, speaking of his plan. Bell nodded at that, it was a good idea, but then he had another idea to make it even better.
"Hey Jaune, I am also contracted with supporter, how about I ask her to join me in going in with you, the supporter and that adventurer, we will make so much valis in one day, and everyone can benefit from it!" Bell spoke up. Jaune nodded his head happy at that.
He didn't know Bell had a supporter since he was busy, but hearing that now they will have more hands, and they can do even more!
"I like the plan Bell, I didn't know you had a supporter, what's her name anyway?" Jaune asked.
"Her name is, oh wait there she is!" Bell stopped before he could say his supporter's name. Jaune looked on to see a girl wearing an over sized book bag, with a white hood, she looked so familiar wait a minute, he knew who that was!
"Good Morning Lili!" Bell greeted. Lili perked up, and turned to the voice and was about greet Bell. But then she froze, not just that, her face froze with a smile that she was going to give Bell, but she was frozen in shock. But after a few seconds she broke her frozen shock.
"LILI?!/ JAUNE?!" Both Lili and Jaune yelled out towards each other. Jaune was just standing there dumbfounded, but Lili wasn't too far behind. Bell just looked between them.
"Ummm, you two know each other?" Bell asked out. Jaune and Lili just sighed at this, they have a lot of explaining to do.
A/N: Here we go everyone, no action in this one, just a heart warming chapter with Jaune and beautiful women. Now I made it so Lili can be in love with Jaune, but right now she doesn't have that exactly yet but she will over time, for now, it's kind of a crush.
Demeter is the same for obvious reasons, she gave him a crazy kiss, I did that because I think Jaune deserves a win for once in a while. Sure you can say that he had a win with his sword, but he doesn't have it socially really.
Demeter wasn't shown since season one and not until the current season, but she has no lines. So I will try to write her more in, but I will need to think how to incorporate her into the story more.
But people I want to take moment to speak up about the wild fires in Southern California. People are losing their homes, and insurances didn't give them fire insurance. Those people have no where to go really, and the hurricane winds are blowing the flames and kindling further, and they have no way to stop it for now. All they can do is remove anything that can cause a big fire.
So please people I hope for you all to give your thoughts and prayers for all of those out there, losing their homes, and for some, their lives. If you find any fund raisers for the people there, please help them out, and please make sure that the fund raisers are trusted, and legitimate.
I pray for everyone's future please everyone be safe!
And May God Continue To Bless You All!
