DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

"With my current level of magic, I simply cannot maintain it, let alone mobilize divine power."

Xia Jia sighed, then quickly smiled: "But at least it was a success."

"Well, congratulations, Natsumi!" Astraea smiled and said, "Then let's update our stats without further ado."

It has been six days since Shaka joined the Familia, and he has been constantly honing his magic, almost always continuing until he is mentally exhausted before going to sleep.

And sure enough, when Shaka obtained the ability values...

Magic I0 → I53.

"So slow," Shaka couldn't help but complain. Other stats had only increased by a few single digits, and even magic, which was the easiest to improve, had only increased by 53 points.

This is still the initial stage of receiving the favor.

"Those who get hundreds of attribute points in the next dungeon run are cheaters."

Oh, I'm a cheater too, never mind!

After updating her stats, the goddess told Shaka to rest before leaving.

At this moment, Xia Jia quietly took out her phone and began her real plan!

Chapter 11 Invitation to the Familia

The project is named: [Heroic Spirit Training Project].

If the heroic souls of the heavens are too powerful to summon, then one can simply summon ordinary people with strong personal wills and train them into heroes.

In any case, the body summoned by Shaka's magic is similar to a heroic spirit. Death is merely a return to the real world, which can serve as the basis for the Fourth Calamity.

As a long-time bookworm and plagiarist, I've read quite a few novels featuring the "Fourth Calamity" or "dog-planner" genres.

Perfectly, the world of DanMachi is a perfect fit for the Western fantasy RPG worldview.

and so……

"I have a general idea, but how do I explain my situation to the group members?"

While pondering, Xia Jia had already mobilized her mental energy and opened a portal to the [Anime Crossover World].

Location: My own home.

The portal is still only the size of a pinhead. But it's much easier and more stable than connecting to the celestial realm. Shaga can also try to enlarge the hole, with a limit of about the size of a thumb.

In that instant, Shaka vaguely sensed that the world itself contained many similar holes.

"My guess was right; it turns out that mysterious world really does exist."

This means I need to be more careful in what I do.

According to Shaka's understanding, if Kobayashi's world exists, then there must be at least one Thor world connected to it, and angels, demons, demon kings, and heroes cannot be ruled out.

Xia Jia considered a solution, took out her phone, and turned it on.

The signal strength on the screen gradually increased, eventually reaching full strength.

Wi-Fi connection successful. Open QQ and open the chat group.

[Xia Jia: "I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"]

[Blank (offering incense): Shocking!]

[Thunder Hammer Wielder (Offering Incense): "The missing person has returned?!"]

[Kotoko Iwanaga (offering incense): "Ghost?! Monster!"]

[Guitar Hero (Offering Incense): "Waaaaah! Ah waaaah! My hair!"]

[Shaga: "What's with all those incense-burning faces?!"]

Xia Jia was stunned when she finished speaking. The entire group member list was now decorated with candle and panda incense burner suffixes.

[Thunder Hammer User: "Wow, Gate Master, you've been missing for a week! Everyone thought you'd perished while exploring the Impenetrable Boundary!"]

Dekomori was so frightened that he even forgot his usual death catchphrase.

[Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "It's alright. I've said it before, I will take action! Even if I fall into hell, it will only be to return to my kingdom."]

[Kasumi Shiko: "You're hopeless. The editorial department almost posted a missing person notice. Now that everything's alright... well, Sonoko asked me to ask you, when will the new volume of Demon Slayer be finished?"]

Shaga: Stunned!

I've already time-traveled, and people are still coming to urge me to finish my work! Are you some kind of demon?!

Who would time-travel and become a writing machine to update content?! You bastard!

……

"I hate you, Fatty Xia!"

Feeling touched by the enthusiasm of the group members, Xia Jia did not forget her purpose.

The magic's duration is limited, so I must act quickly.

He first quickly scrolled through the chat history, looking at the major events of the past few days, and finally got attracted by a message.

Someone in the group managed to snag a closed beta test qualification for SAO!

Many people are quite interested in the world's first fully immersive game, and feel regretful for not being able to get a beta test qualification.

Xia Jiaxin thought to herself, "Oh no, if SAO has already been involved, then I'm doomed! Maybe I should just confess."

At this point, people in the group started asking where Xia Jia had been for the past week.

[Shaka: "I know everyone is curious about what's been going on with me over the past week..."]

[Shaga: "If I told you I accidentally traveled to another world and was assigned the task of summoning heroes to defeat the world-destroying dragon, would you believe me?"]

[Thunder Hammer User: "Shock! Really? Death!"]

[Blank]: "Heh, I think we should call the police. If you say that Qin Shi Huang asked you to help him restore his country, and that you were given an elixir of immortality as payment, then maybe you can fool people."

[Guitar Hero: "Shagasan, if you're being kidnapped, just blink!"]

[Shaga: "To be honest, I just don't believe it. As long as I receive the divine blood, I can teleport you all here for a genuine otherworldly adventure. And I'll even start with a blessing; once you achieve great things and level up, even eternal youth won't be a dream."]

Xia Jia took a selfie to prove she wasn't lying.

[The sadistic hero: "Oh, you're actually making it sound quite convincing. Why don't you say you're running a brand new game? That would pique our interest. Another world adventure? Only a fool would do that."]

[Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "SAO really is a second world, it's just that there are so few closed beta test slots, it's impossible to get one. But, could it be that Mr. Descendant is actually involved in the production of a brand new game? Knowing the way that company does things, a high-quality copy is probably coming soon."]

Xia Jia was somewhat discouraged.

Honestly, nobody believes me. So, shall we just try what Kazuma said? Anyway, I was originally planning to recruit using the SAO model.

Xia Jia continued to think: If I am invited by the game company to conduct a secret test, then my disappearance for a week can be covered up. Why not give it a try?

[Shaka: "If there really were a second world similar to SAO, and that could 100% replicate reality, would you be interested?"]

……

Sakura City, an apartment building.

Hiding in the closet, Goto Ichiri uploaded her guitar solo for the day and looked at the chat group.

Her head was buried between her legs, her chin reflecting the light from her phone.

"In the second world, online, I can still stand up. Does that mean I can make friends too?"

Boqi, a socially awkward person in the real world, is surprisingly a social butterfly online, even boasting about her guitar skills in the comments section. But a fully immersive game is still uncertain for Boqi.

That day, while she was sitting on the sofa watching TV with her family, a sudden advertisement for SAO changed Boqi's world, which consisted only of guitars.

If only I could start a completely new life in another world!

When Boqi heard the sound of his first fan online, he seemed to gain some confidence.

……

In the mountains of Sakura City.

A girl with a prosthetic eye and foot sits on a tree.

Kotoko Iwanaga was chosen by the yokai when she was young, and at the cost of sacrificing one eye and one leg, she became the yokai's goddess of wisdom.

Their duty is to handle supernatural incidents in the city and explain the anomalies using common sense.

She put away her phone, with the monster who had returned with the news beside her.

"are you sure?"

"Yes, Your Highness, there is a strange spiritual reaction at that person's residence. It is possible that he has become a spirit after death."

Before the girl stood a blood-soaked samurai ghost.

"Is that so? We can't rule out the possibility that it's causing trouble after it's become a spirit." Kotoko Iwanaga covered her face: "They're all such a handful."

"These kinds of incidents have been happening more often lately, what's going on...?"

The samurai chimed in, "The monsters have noticed it too; it seems their demonic energy has become more active."

Upon hearing this, the girl jumped down from the tree and headed towards the city.

"Ugh, why did things have to become as complicated as deflowering someone..."
