The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 164 Newcomers Join

Soon, Daphne and Cassandra arrived at the temporary headquarters of the Fucaros Familia.

Just as they hesitated whether to knock on the door, it opened from the inside, and two elven girls walked out with regretful expressions. They were obviously newcomers who wanted to join the Fukaros Familia, but judging from their dejected expressions, they had been rejected.

Even the elven girl newcomer was rejected?!

This scene dealt another heavy blow to Daphne and Cassandra's confidence.

It's worth noting that among all the races in Orario, the elves are the most popular.

Almost any elf can awaken magic, and no matter which clan they join, they will be treated like a treasure.

But the Fukaros Familia even rejected elves; their standards are way too high.

"You've arrived, please come in."

After seeing the two elven girls off, Tifa noticed Daphne and Cassandra standing at the door. She immediately smiled gently and welcomed them into the living room.

Seeing Tifa's warm, spring-like smile, the two felt a little less uneasy.

"Xin Yan, we've come to keep our appointment. Please give us an answer."

Daphne pulled Cassandra to sit down, accepted the hot tea offered by Feng Jin, and after the two thanked her, she got straight to the point.

"Don't be nervous."

Seeing the anxious expressions on their faces, Fen Yu immediately smiled and said, "I've already thought it through. Our clan does indeed need to expand, so welcome to the Fukaros Clan."

"Really?!"

Things went so smoothly?

Daphne and Cassandra were both stunned, their minds went blank, and they didn't react for a moment.

They had even prepared a set of speeches to explain their value, but they didn't even have a chance to speak.

"Of course it's true."

Kaze Sumire was the first to cheer and came over affectionately, "Welcome to the Fukaros Familia! From now on, we're family, Nibo and Debo."

This sudden, affectionate address stunned Daphne and Cassandra once again, but the acceptance it conveyed warmed their hearts.

"Hehe, another new member has joined, the clan is growing stronger again, great!"

Funina jumped up from the sofa like a little queen, put her hands on her hips, and smiled at Daphne and Cassandra: "You two, come with me, this goddess will now perform the conversion ceremony for you."

After the Apollo Familia disbanded, the favors of the original Apollo Familia members were changed by Apollo to be open, allowing them to switch allegiance at any time.

The conversion ceremony proceeded exceptionally smoothly under Funina's guidance.

As the leader of the group, Fenyu naturally obtained detailed ability information for Daphne and Cassandra.

However, out of respect for personal privacy, only Fenyu and Robin, as the leader and vice leader of the guild, have the authority to view these two detailed ability value information.

Even within the same clan, most people's ability stats are kept secret, unless they are so close that they are inseparable, like Daphne and Cassandra.

Daphne and Cassandra were very familiar with their own abilities, and they did not believe that simply changing allegiances would bring about any earth-shattering changes.

But when the two saw that a new skill, "Water God's Blessing," had appeared in their skill bar, and a new ability, "Diving," had appeared in their development ability bar, they were both shocked.

"This—this is?!"

The two looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Seeing the two of them looking shocked as if they had been petrified by magic, Funina proudly puffed out her chest, put her hands on her hips, and said with a grin, "Hehe, see? This is the hidden perk of joining my goddess's family. Keep it a secret, okay? This is the top secret of our Fukaros family."

Daphne and Cassandra nodded vigorously, their hearts still pounding.

Although we don't know how the goddess Fukalos did it, this extra skill and development ability is a great thing.

The dungeon is full of underwater areas and aquatic monsters, and the skill [Water God's Blessing] is an extremely useful divine skill for adventurers.

"Alright, alright, to celebrate the arrival of our newest member," Funina raised her hands high, looking at Fenyu with expectant eyes, "let's have a banquet at the Abundant Mistress' tonight."

Those sparkling eyes clearly said, "I want to eat the little cakes that Manager Mia makes."

Fen Yu naturally had no objections.

It's only right to prepare a welcome feast for the new members, so that Daphne and Cassandra can integrate into the family as soon as possible.

Of course, Fenyu was very confident about this.

Among the clan members, whether it's Robin, Tifa, Violet, or even Jeanne, they are all gentle and extremely tolerant.

Those who have met Daphne and Cassandra know that they are not the kind of people who are eccentric or difficult to get along with.

As for Frinna, the chief deity, she is undoubtedly the mascot of the clan. Her approachable nature, devoid of any divine airs, easily wins people's hearts, and there is no sense of alienation due to her status as a god or a mortal.

After the grand and warm welcome banquet hosted by the "Abundant Mistress," Daphne and Cassandra returned to their temporary lodgings.

After all, the headquarters of the Fukaros Familia was still under construction, and the small temporary base didn't have any extra rooms, so they had to return to the hotel for the time being.

However, Fenyu had already arranged with them to meet at the guild early the next morning and go on an adventure in the dungeon together.

This news excited the two of them, but also made them feel a sense of unprecedented tension.

The next morning, when Daphne and Cassandra arrived at the guild entrance looking refreshed, the Burning Feathers were already fully equipped and waiting there.

Sleeping bags, blankets, plenty of dry food and water, as well as various spare medicines and tools—their serious preparations clearly indicated they weren't going on a leisurely day trip to the underground city.

Daphne and Cassandra exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

"This time we need to go to a deeper floor. We might not have enough time to go back and forth, so we'll have to spend the night in the underground city."

Fen Yu explained simply, "This is also the first time we've all worked together, so we won't be moving too fast. It's mainly for the time to get used to each other."

After entering the dungeon, the team began to advance steadily.

Daphne, wielding a rapier and with a long whip coiled around her waist, served as a roaming center-back, supporting the front line.

Cassandra, along with Wind Violet, formed a luxurious back row of two healers.

Just then, the soft call of a robin echoed in their minds.

The next second, Daphne and Cassandra's world was completely turned upside down.

Their vision suddenly broadened, as if they had gained many more eyes.

The gaze of Fenyu fixed ahead, the gaze of Tifana captured every corner, and the gaze of Jeanne d'Arc guarded the rear—all the senses converged and shared at this moment, forming a perfect "God's-eye view" without any blind spots.

"This—this is?!"

Cassandra was so shocked she almost cried out.

"He's...he's cheating, isn't he?!"

Daphne was deeply shaken.

As an adventurer with a talent for command, she knew better than anyone how overpowered this ability was on the battlefield.

Commanders can issue orders immediately, and members can receive and execute orders instantly without any delay or misunderstanding.

This telepathic connection is simply the ultimate skill that every commander dreams of.

Along the way, the new monsters born in the dungeons—Charging Hilichurls wielding burning wooden staffs, and various Witcher flowers capable of burrowing underground—appeared far more frequently than expected.

But under the robin's calm and precise command, everything proceeded smoothly.

With perfect teamwork, Tifa and Daphne, like two sharp knives, swept through the enemy lines, and Fenyu barely even had to lift a finger.
