A/N: Ok the next couple of chapters will mostly be time-skips and then canon will begin.
What's left of it anyway. It will also have some major changes to it.
Stay tuned.
-----------------------------------
(3rd Person: POV)
As the morning sun flooded her bedroom through her windows Alise slowly woke up and then yawned.
She then tried to get out of bed, only to feel herself unable to.
Looking down she saw a pair of slender arms holding her waist.
Which belonged to her girlfriend, Filvis.
Turning over to look at the sleeping black-haired elf Alise put an even brighter smile on her face.
'She's so cute when asleep.' Alise thought.
Actually she could watch Filvis sleep for hours.
But today was an important day for the entire familia.
So she needed to get out of bed and get ready.
Reaching down, Alise gently shook Filvis. "Filvis. Wake up." She said.
But Filvis didn't budge.
"Come on. Get up." Alise said once more.
Only for Filvis to remain asleep.
Seeing Filvis wasn't budging Alise began thinking of another way to escape her lovers grasp.
Naturally she could just force her way out, but she didn't want to do that.
As Alise wracked her brain, suddenly she stopped when Filvis slowly opened up her eyes.
Releasing a small yawn after she did so.
"Good morning Alise." Filvis said.
"Morning Filvis." She said.
Alise then leaned down and gave Filvis a quick peck on the lips.
Only for Filvis to pull Alise down and begin planting kisses all over her neck and face.
"No, Filvis. Stop, we need to get up." Alise said.
But Filvis ignored her.
Since this morning she is feeling very frisky.
Moving one of her hands down Filvis started playing with Alise breasts.
Which caused the red-head to moan out in pleasure.
Leading to neither of them leaving the bed for at least another two hours.
--------------------
Exiting Alises' room the red-head looked tired.
Meanwhile Filvis who is walking beside her has a smile on her face, and looks completely refreshed.
"Mu, really Filvis. Two times before breakfast. Even though today is an important day for the entire familia." Alise said.
"Well you certainly didn't try very hard to stop me." Filvis replied.
Ack!"
Knowing that Filvis was right Alise decided to shut her mouth.
Seeing this Filvis put a small smirk on her face.
The two of them eventually reached the breakfast table, where the meal was in full swing.
As the pair took their seats, Kaguya couldn't help but smile at them.
"Oh my, oh my, what's this? Both of you are so late today of all days. A late night perhaps?" She asked. Placing a sleeve of her kimono over her mouth to hide a knowing grin.
"Kaguya, please don't tease them." Astraea said.
"Fine, fine but just for today." Kaguya replied.
"Thank you." Astraea said.
The familia then finished their breakfast in peace.
Afterwards they began making preparations for the days big event.
They were welcoming new members to their familia.
A year has gone by since the Juggernaut incident when Celty and Asta lost their lives.
The Astraea familia had grieved for their friends and still keep them in their hearts. But they also know the two of them would not wish for their friends to stagnate.
Thus the Astraea familia has been moving forward.
Actually in the past year Lyra and Filvis have reach level four. While Neze, Kaguya, and Alise have all become level five.
Seeing her daughter's growth, and realizing it was a time for new beginnings Astraea made the decision to look for new members.
Of course she discussed it at length with Alise and everyone else and they were ok with it.
Now the day has come for the familia to finally welcome their new recruits.
Soon the time came.
"Alright let's begin." Astraea said, standing in front of all her familia members. "Today we will be welcoming four new members into our familia." She explained.
"Wow, four." Alise mused.
Usually small familia like theirs only welcomed one or two new recruits at a time.
Astraea knew this, but she also knew getting for new members at the same time was nothing her girls couldn't handle.
"Yes. Four." Astraea said once more. "I will call for the first one." She said.
Astraea then turned to the door behind her.
"It's ok. You can come in now." She said.
Just after Astraea did so the first new recruit to the familia walked in.
She is an elf with long blonde hair and deep green eyes.
"Hello, I'm Laurier. Nice to meet you all." The elf nervously said.
This is another product of the butterfly effect due to the changes to the timeline.
Originally Laurier joined the Hermes familia and did shady jobs, which she hated.
But now that will no longer be the case.
"Nice to meet you Laurier. I am the beautiful captain of the Astraea familia, Alise Lovell." Alise said.
As she did so Laurier gave her a cramped smile due to her antics.
But Astraea and the rest simply went along with it, since they knew that's just how Alise is.
"We know elves don't like being touched. So we will wait until you are ready. Welcome again." Alise spoke.
As she did so the cramped smile disappeared from Lauriers face.
"Thank you." Laurier said.
She then moved to stand near the others.
"Ok, next please." Astraea said.
When she did so the second new recruit stepped into the room.
She has golden-blonde hair secured in a ponytail and blue eyes. Along with a spear in her left hand.
"Hello. My name is Oriana Drake. Nice to meet you all." She said.
"Welcome." Alise said.
"Glad to be here." Oriana spoke.
She then went to stand with the others.
"Next please." Astraea called.
After she did so the next new recruit stepped into the room.
She is a tall blonde with deep golden-colored hair and aqua blue eyes. A rapier sword secured at her waist.
Without even trying the third recruit is giving off elegance and grace.
Like a noble lady.
"Greetings to you all. My name is Jean Gunnhildr. I look forward to working alongside you and hope to exemplify justice as part of the Astraea familia." Jean spoke.
"Yes, welcome." Alise said.
"Captain, please watch over me and point out any mistakes I make so that I can correct them." Jean said to Alise.
Who simply nodded, while lightly scratching her left cheek.
The other girls in the familia couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Jean was a person Alise had trouble dealing with.
Which only made them like her more.
Giving Alise a nod Jean went to stand with the others.
Leaving one new recruit left.
"You can come in now." Astraea said to the final recruit.
After after she did so they happily skipped into the room.
Showing themselves to be a girl dressed in Far Eastern clothing. Her hair is ash-blonde secured in a bun with several loose strands framing her face, and she has grey eyes.
"Greetings. My name is Okita Souji." The girl said.
Her eyes then landed on Kaguya and she got stars in them.
Since the biggest reason other than being a lover of justice that Okita joined the Astraea familia is because she greatly admires Kaguya.
Basically she's a fan girl.
Running up to Kaguya, Okita bowed. "Lady Kaguya, it is an honor to finally meet you in person. Please take care of me from now on." She said.
"Am, I am still the captain right?" Alise asked.
Okita stopped bowing and then turned to Alise.
"You are indeed the captain Ms. Alise. But lady Kaguya is lady Kaguya." She said.
Kaguya putting a smile on her face as she did so.
She's quite happy to have such a fan.
Seeing the new members interact with the senior ones Astraea knew she made the right choice in adding them to her familia.
------------------
A/N: To be clear Laurier and Oriana are from the Danmachi franchise.
Jean is the one from Genshin Impact.
Okita is from the Fate Franchise.
