It's not wrong to make Friends in the Dungeon (Danmachi / Sanctioned [Worm])

Maybe QA will accidentally make Lili into this Danmachi's Escalation Queen.

Queen Administrator would be horrified if Escalation ever managed to turn into a Monarch. Given his sheer idiocy and ignorance, it would show a complete disregard for everything their species stood for if he'd been so elevated within this Cycle. ( :V )

By the end of the day, Queen Administrator still hadn't managed the foes of the sixth floor to Aiz Wallenstein's satisfaction.

Just making sure this is intended use and not words missing.

She is unhappy where she are and fit my other criteria for a desired Familia Member.

"is"?
Alivaril said:
Lili saw her chance and grabbed it with both hands, ignoring the little voice saying it was a bad idea. She'd take questionable motives and dubious past practices over the Soma Familia without complaint.

"Lili would love to join Queen Administrator's Familia!" Lili chirped, her mask of false happiness eternally intact. "Lili has been trying to leave the Soma Familia for a long time, but she isn't allowed. Could Queen Administrator help Lili with leaving? Nobody there cares when Lili cries and they sometimes deliberately make it worse."

There. Given the high number of witnesses, now Queen Administrator needed to aid Lili or risk a large blow to her recent heroic reputation. If Administrator possessed any political savviness whatsoever, she might realize what Lili had done and be bitter about it, but Administrator was the one to grab Lili. Any consequences were the monarch's own fault.

Lili hadn't expected the madwoman to squee aloud and hug Lili, though. The Supporter froze, unsure of what to make of such an irregular development. At least Queen Administrator didn't appear to mind Lili's lack of reciprocation, even if it did seem like half of Orario was watching with keen interest.

"Aww, Tiona! Did you hear what she just did? It was so cute!"

Poor Lili, she thought she was so clever when she was merely living up to QA's expectations.

Considering that it's a Shard choosing the diamonds... These are going to be "ideal" hosts? As in most likely to cause useful conflict for delicious data?

And in case of Taylor's eventual progeny QA has already handpicked the best host candidates! :V
 
I love this chapter. So much. I love Lilli's thoughts and reactions, and Aiz's, and Hestia's, and most especially, QA's for inducing such delicious, delicious reactions. I'm quoting my favourite parts below.

she'd still extracted enough Magic Stones to birth new Guardians for Hestia and their new Familia member

This tells me that once it becomes known in Orario that joining Hestia's Familia counts as close enough to QA's family to receive their own Friends, Loki is going to need to do a lot of fast-talking to keep Aiz from trying to ditch her and join Hestia.

Alivaril said:
Aiz silently stared at the sheet of paper now holding her updated Status, a childish glee slowly filling her. The updated numbers showed that she wasn't just allowed to take a break to spend time with both Friends and friends. She was being encouraged to spend time with them.

My point is further proven here. I love Aiz's reaction to her stat growth. She is totally being encouraged to spend time with fuzzy kitties and QA, and she will soon find out that she gets her own fuzzy kitty if she joins Hestia's Familia.

Best. Little. Sister. I love QA's reaction to this bit of manipulation. She's just so proud of Lili, it's great. I'm sure that part of what QA loves about Lili is not just the manipulation, but the willingness to jump headfirst into an uncertain, potentially dangerous situation and incite plentiful conflict just to escape their current circumstances.

Alivaril said:
"Tell me that during a week in which you haven't threatened genocide against most of Orario's other gods for their selfishness and idiocy," Hestia rebuked, carefully watching the ten-year-old in the room.

Yes, Lili certainly appeared uncomfortably interested in the mention of mass slaughter. Her facial features remained fixed in a dead front of happiness, but her eyes, posture, and ears reflected enthusiastic interest.

I love how perceptive Hestia is with regards to Lili's reactions. I bet Tiona was just as perceptive, and making mental notes about just how bad Lili's situation is as a result. No wonder she offered to let Lili into Loki Familia if getting her into Hestia Familia doesn't work.

Overall, this whole chapter has seriously delighted me, and I am currently feeling great anticipation towards QA's upcoming confrontation with Soma. From other fanfic I've read, Soma appears a rather apathetic sort, so I'm not entirely sure how QA intends to make him comply with her desires. Soma also apparently only bothers paying attention to people who can drink his wine and retain their mind, so if QA senses that, maybe she'll grab a drink from him? I can't wait to find out!

"That's a lovely wine-press you got there. Looks expensive! It'd be a shame if something... happened... to it, wouldn't it? But we're all such good friends that I'm sure you'd never need to worry about that, would you? So... my Friends seem to like Lili, here. I'm going to make an offer you can't refuse. Hand Lili over by tomorrow morning. Good thing we had this chat."

TL;DR: That time Soma woke up with the destroyed remnants of his favorite wine-press on his pillow right in front of him.

I am fairly sure that QA would never be so indirect. She would not want to risk misunderstanding.
"If you do not hand over Lili I will destroy your wine press and then continue destroying things which you value until my demand is met."

If she joins, I'm going to be having discussions like this regularly, aren't I? Well, better Hestia than someone who'd find such inclinations amusing or encourage them. No child was ever truly lost.

Hestia your Captain is basically ... a murder hobo if she could get away with it (anything for getting data). True, she is getting reformed but yeah, your new familia members will probably be all problematic children, without exception.

Soma gives literally no fucks about anything except making his wine, most of the asshole practices of their familia come from the dude who runs it instead of Soma. So QA just intimidates that dude into letting them see Soma and Soma will go yea sure go ahead and turn around to continue making his wine.
 
Alivaril, you deleted your post (reply to mine, the one that says QA's entire species are in fact murder hobos) so can't quote it.

Yes entire species can be considered murderhobos. But I actually meant Danmachi denizens who QAylor is going to pick up, I didn't mean QA siblings, because that's par of course for them. :rofl:
What a surprise for Hestia it's going to be once she understands that she is getting additional members... special members... (I mean it's not for no reason QAylor calls her first stray a sister, right? :rofl:)

Ah, now that is amazing :D Those two are actually playing off each other better than I thought. And here I was thinking that Lili might actually be a challenge to recruit. Also, huh...didn't think of the fact Aiz could train Lili too. Lol, people are going to start going 'the fuck' over Aiz getting to Level 6 simply by interacting with Administrator, can totally see the confusion, so beautiful😄
 
Do you think Dreamer will notice that QAylor is getting closer to that odd wine lake and will she do anything about it when she inevitably has to deal with them?

So if Lachesis jumped into the lake of divine wine and drank it dry, would there be effects outside the dream?
Or similarly if Dreamer bottled the whole thing and gave it as a gift to the fates.

Might be a less lethal way to deal with a problematic familia than Ishtar. As well as providing a new way for Dreamer's abilities to grow.

Absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong if Taylor got at least one of the Fates blackout drunk... right?
 
I think that alot of Aiz's stat jump this time was not just from this dungeon trip, but also the curse.
