Death's Child (Danmachi x Male Reader)

Chapter 3: 'House'

Aisha was running in front of you, her white hair and robes flailing behind her, and you followed quickly to get away from the horde of monsters that was behind you. The walls of the dungeon flew past you and every creature that you passed was one that added themselves to the horde, which counted about 25 by now. You saw a group of adventurers upfront, the pack of creatures 100 meters behind the both of you. 'Please... we need help,' you said while simultaneously trying to catch your breath, while slowly lifting your eyes up to see from whom you actually requested help. The one in the front was a girl, around your age, with back-length blonde hair and golden eyes. She wore a mid-thigh length white dress covered by a metal chestplate and tassets, on her left one was a sheath. Her arms were protected by metal pauldrons and grieves, while her head was armored with a diadem of the same material. Under her dress she wore thigh-high blue boots, that left just a part of her upper leg exposed, and metal kneepads. 'Hey! What's the hol'up!' an impatient voice came from a wherewolf with grey hair and no visible weapons. 'Monsters incoming!' said a girl with a short stature and revealing clothing. You turned around and back to the group adventures. 'Please, help us!' Aisha begged them. 'Sure!' the short girl exclaimed excited and jumped into the frey, the rest followed suit.

'You should be more careful next time and make sure you don't fall into any traps,' a dwarf that introduced himself as Gareth adviced you. 'Thank you for your help,' you both, well, thanked them. 'Don't waste our time next time, ya runts!' the grey wherewolf yelled. 'You're welcome,' Gareth said and he and his party went deeper the dungeon. 'So? Want to continue or have you had enough for today?' you asked Aisha.
'I think we need another familia members to go to the deeper floors.'
'You're right, but how are we going to find more people?'
'Maybe Hades knows something?'
'We can try.'
You and Aisha left for the dungeon's entrance to search for your god.

You found him at his work, which was a funeral parlor managed by a young woman who had a bit too much fun in her work. When you walked in it was dead silent. 'Hello how can I help you!'
'AAAAAAAHHHH!'
The unexpected voice scared the life out of the both of you. 'That scared the hell out of me!' you complained. 'Haha! I'm sorry, but this opportunity was so golden!' said a girl with a dark hat and brown-purple hair, with dark clothes. 'Can we talk to Hades?' you asked the person. 'Well, of course!' she said, 'Hades!' 'I'll come in a bit Hu Tao!' a voice came from somewhere in the building. A moment later he came from the door on the left in his dark uniform, which were black boots that reaches halfway up his shin, pants of the same color, of which the ends were tucked in the boots, and a black trenchcoat that faded to grey at the bottom with delicate and elaborate silver embroidery. His long black hair was in a simple low ponytail. 'Ah, (Y/N)! Aisha! What is it?' he asked you nicely. 'You know them Hades?' asked the girl that was apparently named Hu Tao. 'These are my familia members,' he introduced you, 'and this is my boss, Hu Tao. What are you here for?' 'We actually came to ask if you know how we can recruit more members for our familia,' you told him.
'More members, huh? Have you tried by the gate?'
'We'll try!' Aisha said enthusiastically.

No one accepted. You and the white haired girl walked with slumped shoulders back to the Hostess of Fertility where Hades asked you to meet up. 'So I bought ourselves a little place with the money I can produce daily,' he announced, while you were eating your dinner. 'You did what!' you exclaimed.
'What's wrong?'
'I believe these kind of decisions should be discussed first before making them!' you scolded your god.
'I suppose you're right. I'm still not really used to having a familia, so I guess we'll have to do that from now on,' he answered.
'We both would appreciate that,' you replied. 'So, where is it?'
'Well, it's nothing spectacular or anything, but it's better than to pay for each night we sleep here,' he said and walked off, beckoning you to follow him.

A cave. It was a literal cave. A decently sized hole in a short cliff that might as well have been a lost entrance to Orario's sewer system. 'Really! You literally just bought a damn cave?!' you asked Hades frustrated with his inability to discuss things first with you. 'What? It's better than nothing,' the silver eyed man said nonchalantly. 'I guess we can check it out while we have it now,' you said, shrugging your annoyance off and took a step inside.

The cave took a sharp turn to the right, so at least not everyone passing by could see everything you owned. It ended in a small cavern with multiple coves, six in total, and each one had a sleeping bag and a crate to put in personal belongings. 'At least we have something that resembles a bed,' you remarked. Aisha directly ran up to the nearest one and fell on it. 'Ahh, it's so soft!' she said delightfully. You smiled at her reaction and looked at Hades. 'So? Is it to your taste?' your deity asked you. 'It's not as bad as it first seemed,' you answered. 'Still, we would need to change quite a bit.'
'What would you like to change?'
'Get an actual door installed by the entrance, get a ventilation hole for campfires in the ceiling, while somehow also keeping the water out from when it rains.'
'Those are some good points.'
'And also get the floor and walls more even.'
'I see,' the ex god of the underworld said and stomped on the ground. The cave started rumbling a bit and the walls and floor began to shift a bit, until the surfaces were completely smooth, making it look more like a stone cellar rather than a cave. 'What happened?' asked Aisha nervously. 'As it happens I also have a bit of control over earth, so I smoothed out and hardened the floor and walls,' Hades answered. 'I must say it looks a lot better than first, old man,' you smiled as you gave him a pat on the back. 'I'm not that old,' he pouted. 'Yeah, sure you aren't,' you laughed. 'Anyway, should we check out your stats?' he offered and your white haired familia member directly shot up. 'Yeah! Let's do that!' she said determined. 'Sure, let's do that,' you seconded. Aisha layed face down on one of the sleeping bag and the ex god sat down next to her. After carefully baring her back he got out a tiny needle, said: 'Okay, here we go.' and pricked his own finger. After the single droplet of blood hit her back a tattoo of the infamous three-headed hellhound with her stats.

'Officially welcome to the familia,' Hades congratulated her, as she put her robe right. 'Thanks,' Aisha answered with the biggest smile you had seen on her face. 'Alright (Y/N), you're up next,' he said, so you took off your shirt and sat down in front of him. 'Alright, here we go,' your god said as he usually did before updating your falna. He pricked himself again and the droplet hit your back.
