Registering as Adventurers; Heading to the Dungeon / Sakura Only Had to Make a Slight Effort to Reach the Limit of the Status Board

"Even without the Familia connection, Sakura would be my family from now on. We were a community bound by fate, one no one could ever tear apart. If anyone dared bully Sakura, then even if I had to return to the Heavenly Realm, I'd make them regret it!"

In response, Sakura gently smiled and hugged Hestia. The entire inn room was immediately filled with a warm, harmonious atmosphere.

"Alright, it's about time we bestowed Grace upon Seele. Also, Sakura, what does your Blessing Panel look like? Can you show us?"

After waiting several minutes and seeing no sign of Hestia letting go, An Xiu finally spoke up to interrupt her, then turned to Sakura with a question.

"A Blessing Panel?"

Hearing An Xiu's words, Sakura revealed the Blessing Panel on her back once more, then recorded it on the prepared paper in words everyone present could understand.

That was the Blessing Panel Sakura displayed. There was no need to explain the five basic attributes. From highest to lowest, each attribute was divided into ten ranks: S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. The higher the rank, the stronger the attribute.

Attributes from 0 to 99 were I-rank, 100 to 199 were H-rank, and 200 to 299 were G-rank, continuing in that fashion.

The highest possible limit was S-rank, with attributes between 900 and 999.

No matter how strong someone had been before receiving Grace, all their initial attributes on the panel would inevitably start at 0. In other words, it only recorded improvements made after receiving Grace and did not account for their prior strength.

The same was true every time they leveled up. The panel would reset while retaining their previous attributes, without affecting their actual strength.

As for the later information concerning Magic and Skills, An Xiu could only say that it was fine to just look at it. After all, Sakura had already analyzed Grace itself, so naturally the displayed panel had been filled out by Sakura herself.

Hestia, on the other hand, was deeply amazed by the Magic and Skills on Sakura's panel.

Magic existed in the world of DanMachi, but ordinary magic and the magic recorded on an Adventurer's panel through God's Blessing were worlds apart.

Ordinary magic could only be considered a means or technique, while magic awakened through God's Blessing could be called the embodiment of Miracles. Some spells even possessed abilities that could astonish Gods themselves.

For Sakura, whose talent allowed her to analyze God's Blessing at a glance and was terrifying even to Gods, Hestia believed the magic this child possessed would not be simple either.

There was even less need to mention the Skill. Its power was obvious from its name alone, carrying a straightforward, brutal beauty of pure numbers.

"Next, we'll bestow Grace upon Seele."

Hestia did not need to act. Instead, Sakura personally engraved the Familia Grace onto Seele. She did not even require Hestia's divine blood, which should have served as the catalyst. Throughout the entire process, she used magic to imitate similar properties as a substitute, and the final result was completely indistinguishable from Grace engraved by Hestia herself.

Thus, the Hestia Familia, which had no essential connection to Hestia herself, was established.

To celebrate, Hestia waved her little hand and immediately declared that she would take out all her savings to treat Sakura and Seele, the two children nominally under her care, along with An Xiu, to a grand meal... of Fried Potato Balls.

After all, she had previously only been able to survive through part-time work. Now that she had to feed three people at once, there was naturally no way she could afford anything good. It was not that she was stingy; she simply did not have the money.

In the end, Seele used the Valis she had obtained by pawning the gold earlier to treat Hestia to a proper meal at the Rich Hostess restaurant. She also made plans with Sakura for their trip to the Dungeon.

PS: These two chapters contain quite a lot of setting explanations, so they might feel a little padded. Mainly because compared to Arknights, DanMachi was much less popular among my readers, so I had to accommodate readers who were not too familiar with DanMachi. I couldn't just jump straight into the plot without explaining anything like I could with Arknights and assume everyone already knew it all.

Registering as Adventurers, Entering the Dungeon

The next day, inside the Orario Guild.

According to Guild regulations, every Familia within Orario had to come to the Guild to register after bestowing Grace upon a new member. Therefore, Seele and Sakura arrived that morning.

At that moment, at a service counter on the first floor.

"Hello, could you help register Seele and little Sakura as Adventurers?"

Seele softly asked the Guild staff member behind the counter.

"Huh? It's just you two young girls here to register?"

The female half-Elf working at the counter looked at Seele and Sakura in surprise.

To be honest, it was not as though Eina had never seen young Adventurers before. Some slightly larger Familias would occasionally discover children who displayed talent from an early age. Their patron God would judge them to be promising prospects, bring them into the Familia for training, and bestow Grace upon them.

The most typical example was Miss Ais of the Loki Familia, one of Orario's two strongest Familias. Miss Ais had registered as an Adventurer when she was just over six years old.

Although Seele and Sakura looked young, the act of registering itself was not particularly surprising.

What truly puzzled Eina was why there were no older Familia seniors accompanying the two girls.

"Since we're only registering, Seele can bring little Sakura here herself. There's no need to trouble anyone else to accompany us."

Seele seemed to notice Eina's doubts as a staff member and explained.

Eina nodded upon hearing that.

"That is true, but newcomers your age should still act together with adult Familia seniors whenever possible. Even if you do not intend to enter the Dungeon, it would still be dangerous if you encountered Adventurers with ill intentions."

Many novice Adventurers rashly entered the Dungeon immediately after registering their information with the Guild, but Eina did not suspect Seele was lying.

After all, even the newest Adventurer should know they needed at least a weapon before entering the Dungeon. Yet neither Seele nor Sakura carried anything in their hands, so they truly seemed to be here only to register their information rather than planning to enter the Dungeon right afterward.

"Seele... fifteen years old. Sakura... ten years old. Both belong to the Hestia Familia..."

After spending a moment completing the registration, Eina raised her head and looked at the two girls before her.

"Your information has been registered. If you plan to enter the Dungeon later, make sure to find a reliable party to explore with. It is far too dangerous for girls your age to enter the Dungeon alone."

After thanking Eina for her kind reminder, Seele and Sakura left the Guild.

What Eina did not know was that after leaving the Guild, Seele brought Sakura to an unoccupied corner. Seele then placed one hand on Sakura's body, and their figures instantly vanished from the spot, appearing inside the Dungeon.

"This is the fifth floor of the Dungeon. Let's explore deeper inside, then find some Monsters to defeat."

Seele spoke to Sakura beside her.

"Alright, then let's explore deeper."

Sakura nodded, then took a simple wooden wand from her person.

Sakura had only been manifested not long ago. Even if she actively developed her talent, she had only had about a day at most. The magic she had developed in that time was certainly not enough for her to condense the Star Wand as she had in the original story.

As for the Bird Wand Sakura had used in the early stages of the original work, it had not been manifested because An Xiu's pockets were empty. Thus, Sakura could only make do for now with this small wand purchased from some weapon shop.

Fortunately, Sakura was no longer as dependent on a staff as she had been in the original story. With her actively developing her talent, whether she was creating Magic Cards, using Magic Cards, or manipulating magic to do something else, a wand was more like a tool that allowed her to use her magic more efficiently rather than an indispensable key.

If she wanted to, Sakura could still use her power without a wand. The main reason she still carried a small wand that was not particularly helpful to her was to avoid drawing attention and to make herself appear more normal.

Seeing Sakura take out her wand, Seele also waved her hand and summoned a scythe. The two headed deeper into the Dungeon together.

The Dungeon was a massive and unique labyrinth divided into different floors. The deeper one went, the larger the floors became, and the more dangerous the Monsters were.

That was why Seele had brought Sakura directly past the first five floors. The earliest floors were the smallest, yet they gathered more than eighty percent of all Adventurers in Orario.

On those early floors, Adventurers practically competed with each other to snatch monsters. The moment a monster was born, it would immediately be hunted clean by Adventurers wandering nearby.

So, if they did not want to compete for Monsters, they could only begin their exploration from deeper floors.

Sure enough, after leaving the first five floors and reaching the sixth floor, there was no longer a trace of other Adventurers nearby. The two soon encountered Monsters.

"Roar!"

The walls surrounding the Dungeon, which had originally looked no different from ordinary rock, suddenly began to writhe. Several openings split open across them.

From those openings emerged several strange creatures resembling werewolves.

The moment these Monsters landed, their red-glowing eyes viciously locked onto Seele and Sakura.

Golems were common Monsters in the first nine floors of the Dungeon. They had heads resembling both wolves and dogs, muscular bodies, and were adept at attacking Adventurers with sharp fangs and claws.

Faced with six or seven Golems surrounding them, Seele showed no intention of acting. Sakura, meanwhile, seriously stretched out her hand, and a pink card appeared in her palm.

"Wind, please scatter the filth and carry away the enemies before us!"

Bzzzz...

Under Sakura's magic, the previously dormant card lit up. A violent hurricane immediately swept every Golem around them away.

The Wind Card was a card Sakura had condensed with her own magic before entering the Dungeon. Besides it, she had also created Jump and Fly, two cards that, like Wind, had appeared frequently in the original story and could be considered workhorses.

As one of the four elemental cards of earth, water, fire, and wind, the Wind Card was undoubtedly powerful. Every Golem was swept up and killed by the raging winds, and even the Magic Stones they produced were ground into dust.

After dealing with the Golems, Seele and Sakura continued exploring deeper into the Dungeon. Since their primary purpose was to let Sakura train her magic, Sakura handled most of the battles. Seele only occasionally swung her scythe and casually eliminated a few Monsters.

PS: I was too tired after getting home tonight. I lay on the bed in a daze and felt like I could fall asleep at any moment. I'll update one chapter first, then write the second after I wake up.

Sakura Had Only Made a Slight Move, Yet She Had Already Reached the Limit of the Blessing Panel

Azure gales howled. Under the power of the Wind Card, even at merely Lv. 1, there was not a single monster in the Dungeon's first nine floors that could withstand Sakura for even a moment.

Goblins, Golems, Battle Shadows, Hedgehog Rabbits, Tongue-Spiked Lizards, Killer Ants...

Seele and Sakura swept from the sixth floor all the way to the ninth, even entering the tenth floor to eliminate several Orcs and Imps.

Only after several hours had passed, when Seele sensed that Sakura's magic was nearly exhausted, did she use Quantization again. She directly brought Sakura back to the Hestia Familia's base, the abandoned church.

It was already dusk. When Hestia saw Seele and Sakura return, she, who had also only recently returned from work, immediately waved happily at them.

"You're back! You must have worked hard exploring the Dungeon all day. I specially brought back some Fried Potato Balls for you. Hurry and eat them while they're hot!"
