The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 180 The Bathing Elf

Although Robin and Tifa never mentioned it, Burning Feather knew that deep down, they had actually thought about going home.

They didn't mention it simply because they were kind and knew it wasn't a simple matter, at least not something Fenyu could do right now.

Fortunately, when the unreliable system summoned them, it also informed them of a crucial thing in the knowledge it bestowed upon them: in the world they originally lived in, the flow of time was relatively static.

They don't need to worry that when they return someday, everything will have changed and the world will be transformed.

This is also the biggest reason why they feel at ease staying here.

Since time is frozen, why not experience a fantastic adventure in this world and perhaps even save it along the way? That seems like a pretty good option.

As for Fen Yu himself, he wasn't in a hurry.

If the system isn't working, he'll try his best on his own.

Strive to become stronger, and see if you can become strong enough to break through the barriers of this world and find a way to travel to other worlds.

If the system ever works its magic, wouldn't it be great to take the robins and the others on adventures to different worlds and then bring them home?

Thinking of this, Fen Yu suddenly understood.

The adventure in this world ends, then it's time to continue the adventure in other worlds.

understood.

Their Fucarus Familia might become part of the Star Train in the future.

Just as the two were chatting happily and picking the crystal-clear fruit, a clear "splashing" sound of water suddenly came from the woods not far away.

Their conversation abruptly stopped, and they exchanged a glance, a tacit understanding forming in their hearts.

The robin calmly took the fruit from Fenyu's hand, while Fenyu casually lowered his hand, seemingly without any intention of doing so, but in reality, he had already placed his hand on the hilt of the longsword [Fire Spirit Sword II] at his waist.

Although this is the eighteenth floor, which is theoretically a safe floor and will not generate monsters on its own, the threat still exists.

Monsters that stray into this place from the upper or lower levels are often more frenzied than when they were on their original floors.

Moreover, in places like dungeons, adventurers are sometimes more dangerous than monsters.

Robin, in particular, is too eye-catching with her skill [Tonality Harmony].

Ever since the guild announced her title of "Warrior Saintess" and her incredible abilities, Kai has been relentlessly pursuing her.

The Fucarus Familia has been attacked more than once, and without exception, the target has been the robin.

According to information from the Ganesha Familia, the attackers were most likely outside adventurers who had smuggled themselves into Orario. They were willing to do anything to kidnap the Robin, a "living cheat code" that could greatly increase leveling speed.

Compared to the local clans in Orario, who are still suppressed by top powers such as guilds, Loki, and Freya, the outlaws from the outside world are much more audacious.

Fortunately, those people were only at level 3 at most, which was just a warm-up for Fenyu now, and even Tifa could handle them.

Furthermore, Robins rarely act alone and are always accompanied by companions. In addition, the Ganesha Familia, at the behest of the guild, has given them special care. Although there are troubles, everything is still under control.

From the moment he decided to put the robin in the spotlight, Burning Feather was prepared to face all the trouble.

Their rapid growth inevitably attracts envy and jealousy, and they are even seen as a thorn in the side by some.

Burning Feather has never looked down on the moral bottom line of adventurers.

Of course, the Fukaros Familia are not to be trifled with either.

As a powerful being, Fukaros has many more things he can do.

However, it is best not to let the gods take action unless absolutely necessary.

Fen Yu gestured to the robin, then slowed his pace and moved silently, like a ghost, toward the direction from which the sound of water came.

Fen Yu gently lifted a large fern leaf in front of him, and the sight that came into view made him freeze.

It was a crystal-clear stream, and in the stream lived a spirit.

She was completely naked, and her snow-white, exposed skin seemed to glow in the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees.

Her slender yet powerful back was facing the direction of the Burning Feather and the Robin; she was bathing in the spring.

She cupped the clear spring water in her hands, carefully preventing it from overflowing, and gently rubbed and washed her long, smooth hair.

The sprite created ripples on the water's surface, making a dripping sound.

She had the long, pointed ears that were a hallmark of the elves, and her figure was slender and graceful, every curve of her body seemingly a masterpiece of nature.

Fen Yu blinked, making sure he wasn't seeing things. There really was someone taking a bath here.

"Do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper—" Fen Yu silently chanted in his heart, preparing to retreat quietly.

"Who goes there!"

A sharp and cold shout rang out without warning.

With a shout, a silver light pierced through the air, a white blade was drawn, and the target was the face of the robin who had curiously poked half its head out from behind Fen Yu.

Fen Yu's expression changed instantly. Before his brain could react, his body had already acted on instinct.

He suddenly reached out and firmly grasped the small katana that was thrusting straight at him.

The sharp blade instantly cut his palm, and blood dripped onto the ground.

"what!"

The robin was startled by this sudden turn of events, and the fruit in its hand fell to the ground, rolling all over the grass.

The spirit in the stream instinctively covered its chest with one hand, while the other hand remained in a throwing posture, its eyes cold and filled with murderous intent as it looked at Burning Feather and Robin.

But when she saw who it was, her fierce killing intent vanished instantly, replaced by deep surprise.

"Mr. Burning Feather? Miss Robin?"

"Don't look! Turn around!"

The robin reacted faster than anyone else; she grabbed Burning Feather, who was still standing there in a daze, and forcibly pulled him so that his back was to the elven girl.

Then, she quickly took out a bottle of healing spray from the small bag at her waist and sprayed it onto Fen Yu's bleeding palm.

Cool mist sprayed onto the wound, and the deep, bone-revealing wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only traces of blood that had not yet dried.

Meanwhile, the fairy maiden in the stream took the opportunity to quickly put on her clothes.

"Miss Ryu, what are you doing here?"

The robin then looked at the elven girl, Liu Liang, who had dressed herself up again and walked out of the stream.

That's right, it's that icy beauty clerk from the Abundant Mistress Tavern.

At this moment, glistening water droplets clung to her dark green hair, adding a touch of tenderness rarely seen on ordinary days.

"Sorry, I almost—"

Ryu didn't answer the robin's question, but looked at the two of them apologetically.

After all, if it weren't for Fenyu's incredibly quick reaction, the robin would probably have perished.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's normal for you to react this way when we suddenly appear while you're taking a shower."

Although it was indeed quite startled, the robin wasn't one to hold grudges.

Besides, there was a reason for it, and the other party is an acquaintance, so there's really no need to keep harping on it.

and----

The robin glanced discreetly at Burning Feather beside him, who was silently trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of its mouth.

Our own commander just got a huge advantage.

Consider this minor injury and blood loss as payment for the "entrance fee".

"Have you arrived here already?"

Liu's voice was cold and detached, revealing little emotion.

She took the small katana from Fenyu, walked to the stream, carefully washed away the bloodstains that belonged to him, dried it with a cloth, and then put it back into the scabbard at her waist.

"That's right. Mr. Fenyu is already at Lv.3. That's really fast. I thought a long time had passed."

"Isn't this place beautiful? Many adventurers like to camp here."

She turned around, as if nothing had happened, and spoke casually.

"Yes, it is indeed very beautiful," the robin nodded with a smile. "If I could, I would even like to stay here for a few more days."

"Miss Ryu, you must have come here specifically for something, right?"

Seeing that Liu seemed to have completely forgotten the awkwardness just now, Fenyu tentatively spoke up.

"Yes, it is indeed a personal matter."

Liu nodded slightly and answered calmly.

But the robin, with its keen senses, clearly noticed that Ryuna's pointed ears were now tinged with a lovely pink.

This elf lady was clearly not as composed as she appeared on the surface.
