Children of Hades (DanMachi)

Chapter 5: Part 8
[X] Invite Leon in for breakfast with the Hades Familia.

"Actually, Warrior..." you look up at him, smiling bashfully. "Would you like to join the Hades Familia for breakfast? I'd... like to thank you for rescuing me."

"Oh, uh..." He rubs the back of his head. Is that... a blush on his cheeks? "I'm sure Freya wouldn't care, but... I suppose, if it's not an imposition?"

"Okay," Urist responds, setting you down on the counter and walking back to his flapjacks, leaving the window open.

"Then it's settled," you say, smiling up at Leon.

The Half-Elf nods, then picks you up and... climbs on the window sill? Uh... Okay. The man climbs through the window and into the kitchen, causing Hades and Jersey to look up at the sight.

"Oh. Hello. I'm Hades, this is Urist, and this is Jersey. Welcome to the Underworld Dormitory," your deity greets, seeming oddly unphased by this.

"Hello. I am Leon Elekor, the 'Light of the North.' I'm a Level 2 Adventurer with the Freya Familia," Leon explains, bowing respectfully to Hades.

"Um... Hi, Dad," you wave from Leon's shoulder.

The God of the Underworld's curiously red eyes zero in on you, a small smile playing at his features. "To think, you're allergic to Golden Mushroom spores..."

Huh, so they don't normally shrink people? "So then... what do Golden Mushroom spores usually do?"

"Summon pink elephants."

"Whut."

"He means they cause psychedelic hallucinations," Hades remarks, turning back to cooking an omelet.

"Huh."

"Do you need my help cooking, God?" Leon asks.

Hades shakes his head, not looking at the Half-Elf. "No, no. You are a guest. Please, go wait in the tavern. My Captain and Deputies should awaken soon to help arrange the tables for breakfast. Urist, Jersey, and I just tend to awaken early to get the cooking started," he explains.

Leon nods, then heads out of the kitchen through the swinging door, taking you with him. He takes a seat at the bar, setting you atop it.

"Hmmm... So, Warrior. What kinds of Skills and Abilities do you have?" you ask him.

Leon glances at you, his face serious. "Oh. I actually have two Skills right now. Sentinel increases by stability, balance, and temporarily buffs my Strength and Endurance when a greater force is bearing down on me, sometimes even buffing them past S-rank. Leap of Faith causes me to automatically jump in front of an ally about to take a mortal blow, though the chances of me doing it go up depending on how I feel about the person. As a Level 2, I have one Development Ability, Hunter, which I acquired from many countless nights soloing the Upper Floors of the Dungeon over the course of my three years as an Adventurer. As for Spells, you saw Smite."

"You sound like quite a tank, Warrior..." you say, smiling.

The Half-Elf chuckles, a slight blush coming to his cheeks. "Well... I fancy myself a warrior. Which is challenging. As a Half-Elf, I'm a bit more inclined to Magic than I am Endurance, so... My Basic Abilities aren't all that much to write home about."

"So, are you a second-generation Half-Elf, or-"

"Mm, no. My mother is an Elf. My father was a Human. I also had a Half-Elf sister once. They..." He sighs. "My father and sister died in the bandit attack that also crippled my mother. I work so hard solely to support her. We have a small apartment in Daedalus Street, and when I'm not in the Dungeon, I'm at home cooking and cleaning for her."

You smirk, your tail swishing playfully. "You sound like you'd make quite the house husband, Warrior," you tease.

Leon blushes and looks away, scratching at his cheek. "Uh, I, um..." he stammers.

You giggle. "Relax. I was just teasing."

"ROOSTER! OH MY GOSH YOU LOOK SO CUTE!"

You turn to see Tessa running towards you from the stairs, scooping you up in her arms and holding her against her very flat chest.

"SO TINY! LIKE A LITTLE STUFFED TOY!" she cries.

Ian comes down the stairs after her, sighing and rubbing at the back of his neck. Flora, Elga, Frobo, Sunny, Hero's Shade, and Runemeyer come down after him, looking various levels of "morning person" and "groggy."

"Tessey, what's this about Roo being tiny?" Sunny asks.

Tessa turns and everyone catches sight of you wrapped in the diminutive Weretiger's arms and held against her petite chest. "She's just so adorable like this!"

Flora gazes at you, then brings her hand to her mouth and holds back a snicker. "Rooster? Is that you? How'd this happen?"

"Uh... I was soloing the Dungeon late at night and ran into a Golden Mushroom... it hit me with spores," you explain, your voice a bit muffled by Tessa's chest.

"Ah. Must be allergic. Cousin Udar is same way," Elga explains. "Will wear off soon anyway. Can give you tonic to prevent, in case of future encounters."

You sigh. Ah well... You suppose you could enjoy this while you can.

Tessa holds you up to her face, absolutely beaming. "Roosteeeer... How'd you like a tea cup bath?"

Aaannnd Here We Go... the shipping will commence in earnest.

oh yeah are magic items that give buffs/continuous passive effects to the wearer a thing like a ring that gives a regen effect and can we relay that effect to party members? sorry if this has been asked before... also if we meet the gold mushy again and we DO manage to tame it, it would essentially give use infinite access to the Mini status effect if we had it hit us and then relay it...

I have never been so sure of anything in my life.

There is nothing wrong with been lewed by the legal loli, nope, non at all. After all Hades won`t care, the local police can`t do shit to superhumans like Adventurers and the police familia is dead, minus an elf and the goddess.

Also I`m a bit salty because Leon pretty much like my Danmachi SI than I planned to write, only difference is the race, familia and weapon.

I know I'm gonna lose this bit goddamn am I gonna try.
I applause your effort
 
What are the similarities?
Sounds like a male talented tank who wants to be a hero.

I guess if they're born into this world there can also be a similar backstory but I'd generally say you'll be fine writing it without looking unoriginal. I don't really think we know enough about Leon for it to look like a copy, unless you're more referring to stats/abilities?

Whom skills are mostly passive, more focused in saving people and buying precious seconds to archive victory in a overwhelming situation.

Stats and abilities
 
Fair enough, I don't think stats and abilities make up enough of the meat of a story/character to worry about though.
Skill are more important than you think, it is something personal, be it aptitud, desire or triumph, I will admit than Sentinel is an original skill, I was thinking about using something a little more along the line of the Berserker skill with a BIG flaw to prevent OPness.

You smile. "That sounds lovely, Tessa."

The Weretiger lets out what can only be a loud squee, then clutches you to her chest and hurries to the kitchen. With Hades' help (being much taller), she retrieves a large tea cup and pours some hot water into it, then sets it atop the center counter. Tessa watches you expectantly, and you wait for her to properly turn around so you can undress, but... she doesn't. If anything, there's a massive, cat-like smile on her face. So you blush and turn around, hearing a gasp from Tessa as you slip the band of cloth off from your breasts, making you feel very self-conscious. You slip the band of cloth off your lower half just as you're slipping into the water.

Mmm... You sigh as you settle in for a nice soak. You hear a very sexual "Mmph!" and look up to see Tessa biting her fist. "I... I think I need some water..."

"I do not think it is that you want to be drinking," Urist remarks from where he's flipping flapjacks.

"What?!" Tessa exclaims.

"You are thirsty for something not water."

"N-No... No... No..." the diminutive Weretiger denies.

"Yeah... I know," you shrug.

"YOU DO?!" Tessa's tail goes ramrod straight and poofs up, the girl falling off of her stool. She scrambles back on. "I... I mean... I d-don't know what you're talking about," she stammers, tapping her fingers together, a luminescent blush spread across her pale, porcelain features.

"It's okay, Tessa. I've known forever. How could I not know? You make it obvious," you tell her, smiling.

"Then... why didn't you say anything?" she asks, her voice muffled by the hands hiding her face.

"Because..." you sigh. "I'm not sure how I feel about this."

Tessa moves a finger to peek at you. "What do you mean?"

You sink lower into the water. "I'm... not used to people actually being interested in me or finding me attractive... And more importantly... I don't think what you're feeling is love. It's just lust. And I'm just not interested in a purely sexual relationship," you explain.

Tessa lowers her hands to her lap and gazes downward, looking supremely disappointed, and maybe more than a little ashamed. "I... I see..."

You smile up at her. "Though... I don't mind you finding me attractive. It feels nice, knowing that..."

Tessa manages a small smile at you.

"Good, now kiss."

Tessa grabs her ears and tugs on them, while you yowl a "Urist!"

-o-

After drying off and redressing, you head to the tavern area for breakfast, carried by Tessa. Sahgi, Darude, Lucia, and Pyre all do double-takes at seeing you like this.

"Allergic to Golden Mushroom spores," Frobo remarks.

"Oh."

Tessa sets you on the table between her and Ian, while Leon sits across from you. Awkwardly, he selects a simple plate of pancakes and begins politely eating. He seems so stiff...

"Relax, sweetie! You may be a guest, but you saved our little Rooster's life, so we owe you for that! Consider us honorary family, like Alivia!" Flora says.

"Yeah!" Alivia agrees. Wait, when did she get here?!

The quirky Hume Bunny scout leans in, grinning at you. "Don't worry, Rooster, I'm allergic, too. You should've seen Asfi's face when I returned to the Hermes Familia's base all small and naked! She was pissed, but also pretty concerned! It was a wild day, too!"

You shake your head and laugh a bit. "Anyway, can someone get me a plate of pancakes, please?"

"Here you are," Hades says, passing the plate along to you. There's syrup and a pat of butter on it. It's huge, and all yours. Oh boy!

You dive in, forgoing proper etiquette and even cleanliness as you grab big handfuls and bite into the huge stack of fluffy, syrupy goodness. Well, one benefit to being this tiny! Food is huge!

"You might just get by with only a single stack today!" Sunny says, laughing.

Hm... is that a challenge?
