The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.
Chapter 32 2nd Magic
The setting sun bathed the cemetery in a sorrowful golden hue.
Fenyu stood beside Luke, looking at the newly erected tombstone, her feelings complicated.
Although we were just casual acquaintances, he was still a real person with whom I had interacted before.
He patted Luke on the shoulder, and all his unspoken words were reduced to a dry, "My condolences."
Luke didn't turn around; he just stared blankly at the tombstone before suddenly saying, "Burning Feather, I'm not going to be an adventurer anymore."
Fen Yu was taken aback.
Luke continued, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, "Her name was Lina... We were lovers, and also companions from the same familia. Now, everyone in the familia is dead, and I'm the only one left... I'll take the main god and leave Orario, to find a place to live anywhere in the outside world. The dungeon... isn't suitable for a weakling like me."
After saying that, he finally turned around and looked at Fen Yu. For the first time, a glimmer of light appeared in his bloodshot eyes, a complex light mixed with gratitude and entrustment.
"Fenyu, thank you for helping me avenge myself. I have nothing to repay you with. You are a strong person, I can see that. Your talent far surpasses that of us ordinary adventurers struggling at the bottom. In the future, you will definitely become a great figure who will shock the world. Although we have not known each other for long, I firmly believe this."
He took a deep breath, as if using up his last bit of strength.
"Carry my hope... Go forward, become a hero."
After saying this, Luke turned away dejectedly and staggered out of the cemetery.
In the distance, a petite deity waited quietly for him; she was his last remaining family member.
Fenyu silently watched Luke's retreating figure until he completely disappeared from sight.
He turned back again, looking at the thousands upon thousands of tombstones densely packed in the cemetery.
Beneath every cold stone lies a once vibrant life, an adventurer who once harbored dreams.
This is the only proof that they left behind in this world.
At this moment, Fen Yu understood the weight of the word "adventurer" like never before.
Having been in this world for so many years, apart from Alphia, he doesn't really have much of a sense of reality about this world.
Everything seemed to be separated by an invisible membrane; he was like an observer, a lonely passerby.
That's why he had an almost obsessive attachment to Alphia, because she was the only "real" thing he could grasp in this unfamiliar world at the time.
With the arrival of Frinna, Robin, and Tifa, he was no longer alone.
But that deep-rooted obsession in his soul only became more indelible.
At this moment, having witnessed the tragedy of an ordinary adventurer and heard his final entrustment, the thin membrane that had always separated him from this world quietly shattered.
He felt a burning sensation on his back; it was Funina's divine blood boiling and resonating within him.
Fen Yu knew it was time to go back and update his stats.
When he returned to his lodgings, the warm aroma of food dispelled the evening chill and the gloom in his heart.
Robin and Tifa had already prepared a sumptuous dinner before he returned.
Tender, stewed chunks of meat, roasted vegetables sprinkled with spices, and steaming hot soup.
"You're back, Fenyu."
Tifa took off her apron and said with a smile, "Come and try my cooking."
"Wow, just the smell alone smells incredibly delicious, Tifa, you're amazing."
Funina had already eagerly sat down at the dining table, her eyes sparkling.
"This...this is incredible culinary skill! Each dish is like a meticulously choreographed musical piece, playing a harmonious symphony on the tip of the tongue."
Furina took a bite of the stew and praised it exaggeratedly. Then she suddenly stood up, put one hand on her hip, pointed at Tifa with the other, and announced in her unique tone.
"I've made my decision, Tifa Lockhart. From this day forward, you will be the proud head chef of our Fucaros Familia."
"Eh?"
Tifa was a little embarrassed by the sudden appointment, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"If you like, I'd be happy to cook for you."
"It's more than just liking it, it's absolutely liking it."
Funina squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
The robin watched from the side, a smile playing in its lake-green eyes: "It is indeed very delicious, Tifa, thank you for your hard work."
Fen Yu sat down and took a bite. The warm and mellow taste instantly dispelled the fatigue accumulated throughout the day.
As he watched this heartwarming scene unfold before him, and saw Tifa's genuine smile as her culinary skills were recognized, the last trace of gloom in his heart vanished.
If Frynn's justice is "survival," Flywing's justice is "self," and Robin's justice is "the strong helping the weak," then Tifa's justice must be "family."
She longed for a home, a place where she could feel safe and able to express her gentleness and abilities.
And the Fukaros Familia gave her all of that.
After dinner, it was time for the long-awaited ability stat update.
As a newcomer, Tifa was the first to enter the room.
A moment later, she came out with a parchment containing her ability values.
Name: Tifa Lockhart
[Level]: Lv.1
[Ability Values]
Strength: I-0→ I-50 (+50)
Durability: I-0→ I-10 (+10)
Dexterity: I-0→ I-32 (+32)
Agility: I-0 → I-30 (+30)
Magic: I-0→ I-28 (+28)
Then, Furness called the robin into the room.
Robin hasn't updated for several days, but her progress this time is equally impressive.
Name: Robin
[Level]: Lv.1
[Ability Values]
Strength: I-11→ I-21 (+10)
Durability: I-13→ I-28 (+15)
Agility: I-25 → H-105 (+80)
Agility: I-39 → H-160 (+121)
Magic Power: H-168 → E-480 (+312)
Finally, it was Burning Feather's turn.
He walked into the room, skillfully took off his shirt, and lay down on the bed.
Fu Ningna had long since gotten used to this process and no longer blushed as easily as she had at the beginning.
She nimbly jumped onto the bed, straddled Fen Yu, dripped her divine blood, and began to update her ability values.
"ah!"
However, as soon as the update began, Funina let out a short gasp.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing the exclamation, Robin and Tifa, who were waiting outside, immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.
Upon seeing Fen Yu's bare upper body, the two women blushed instantly and subconsciously looked away. However, their gazes were drawn back to his well-defined, powerful back.
"It's magic! Fenyu, you've awakened your second magic! How could it be so fast?"
Funina's voice was filled with shock.
She hasn't been doing nothing these days.
At home, she read a lot of books about adventurers and learned that "magic" can only be awakened during leveling up, either by learning it with priceless magic books or by relying on personal experience and potential.
