Danmachi: The Focalors Familia Starting from the Dungeon

The red-haired woman was tall, her black-and-red battle-damaged armor perfectly displaying her mature allure.

And Aiden, standing in front of her, actually looked somewhat... helpless?

Robin subconsciously blinked those lake-green eyes of hers that always carried a calm smile, and then blinked again.

She even wondered if she was hallucinating due to physical exhaustion from Aiden’s over-demanding requests lately.

But the clear, ambiguous, heart-racing scene told her very realistically—this was no hallucination.

Noticing the movement at the door, Himeko’s actions finally paused.

She reluctantly let go of Aiden, the tip of her crimson tongue subconsciously licking her lips as if savoring an aftertaste.

Then, she turned her head, using those aggressively red eyes to look with keen interest at the silver-purple-haired girl at the door, who stood frozen as if struck by petrification magic.

Aiden finally got a chance to breathe.

He instinctively wiped the corner of his mouth, where the faint scent of wine and lipstick marks belonging to Himeko still lingered.

He looked at Himeko, who wore an expression of ”I just did what I wanted to do,” and felt a wave of speechlessness.

Although this is definitely Himeko, isn’t her personality a bit off?

In his memory, Himeko was straightforward, gentle, and informal, but her aggressiveness was never supposed to be this high.

Was this domineering, T-Rex-like behavior truly the Blood Rose version of Himeko?

At the door, after experiencing several seconds of stunned silence, Robin finally came to her senses.

She knew Aiden was performing a summoning tonight, and she had timed her visit perfectly, figuring the ritual would be over and she could meet the new companion.

But in her wildest dreams, she hadn’t expected to witness such a scandalous scene.

Her boyfriend was being forcefully kissed by a terrifyingly powerful older woman who had popped out of nowhere, and she had caught them right in the act.

In a daze, Robin wondered if her hair color had quietly undergone some irreversible change without her knowing.

However, she was, after all, the Galaxy Diva who could maintain absolute grace and elegance even on a stage before billions of people.

After the brief moment of shock, her signature gentle and proper smile returned to her face.

She walked into the room with elegant steps and gently placed the hot milk on the bedside table. Her movements were flawlessly smooth, as if nothing had happened at all.

”Hello,” she said, looking at Himeko. Her gaze was calm, her voice still as wonderfully sweet as ever. ”I am Robin.”

Then, she paused, smoothly shifting the conversation, adding a casually yet exceptionally clear statement.

”Just to mention in passing, I am his girlfriend.”

As she spoke those words, her beautiful lake-green eyes subtly shot a glance at Aiden next to her, carrying a faint, oppressive hint of ”You better explain yourself clearly.”

That sharp look made Aiden, who had just been internally critiquing Himeko’s personality, feel a chill down his spine.

”I didn’t expect things to progress so fast between you two. Logically speaking, this should be your first time meeting, right?”

”Oh?”

Himeko picked up on the gentle yet unquestionable declaration of sovereignty in Robin’s words. She raised a beautiful eyebrow, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, a much more playful smile spread across her face.

”Indeed, from a certain perspective, you could say this is our first time meeting.” She walked up to Robin, using her height advantage to look down slightly at her. ”But if you look at it from another angle, we’ve actually known each other for a very long time. So, I personally feel that my actions just now weren’t abrupt at all.”

Invisible sparks seemed to crackle in the air between the two women.

One was elegant and composed, gentle as water, yet hiding a sharp edge beneath the calm.

The other was domineering, fiery as flames, making no effort to conceal her desires and possessiveness.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, after hearing Himeko’s highly provocative words, Robin didn’t get angry. Instead, as if she had figured something out, she gently shook her head and smiled.

”Alright, I understand.”

She completely tossed aside the scene that had instinctively made her feel a twinge of displeasure.

Smart as she was, she never engaged in meaningless internal friction.

Did she not know what kind of person Aiden was? This was the man who had openly told her to her face that his dream was to build a ”harem.”

She was already mentally prepared for all sorts of outstanding women to appear by his side.

Given that, why let herself fall into a bad mood over something like this?

”Regardless, welcome.” Robin extended her hand to Himeko, her smile turning sincere and open. ”From now on, we are companions... no, we are a family.”

This time, it was Himeko’s turn to be surprised.

She looked into Robin’s clear eyes, which held absolutely no jealousy or hostility, and paused for a moment.

Then, she gave a dashing smile.

”I see, so that’s how it is... truly, not one to be underestimated.”

In just an instant, she saw through Robin’s personality and character. She also understood exactly how terrifying of an existence the ”official girlfriend” standing before her really was.

In the battlefield of love, Robin’s incredibly tolerant, non-competitive personality—one that actively fostered a family atmosphere—was a dimensional strike against women used to fighting out of jealousy.

She made anyone who tried to stake their claim or assert dominance feel like they were punching cotton; not only was it completely ineffective, but it also made the aggressor look petty.

”Murata Himeko.”

Himeko reached out and gently shook Robin’s slender, pale hand. ”You can call me Himeko.”

The two women clasped hands, sealing a wondrous, unspoken understanding.

Robin was also very magnanimous. Without holding any grudges about what she had just seen, as if the person being kissed wasn’t her boyfriend at all, she enthusiastically began asking Himeko about her past world.

Himeko frankly explained her current identity as a ”Fire Spirit” and how she had already formed a contract with Aiden to become his exclusive weapon.

A mature, uninhibited, worldly older woman.

An elegant, intelligent, understanding young girl.

Two women who should have been romantic rivals found common ground within mere minutes, chatting about everything under the sun. The atmosphere became so harmonious that they seemed like long-lost, intimate best friends.
