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

Of course, this was somewhat of a pretext; in fact, in the early stages, he did have someone he could get something for free, namely Mihe.

This master's work is no weaker than Dean Kate's, and even if there are initial losses, they won't be too severe.

Naza thought for a moment and realized that she wouldn't lose anything, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, but I can only be responsible for what I say, and it doesn't involve Lord Mih."

"No problem." Xia Jia patted Nazha on the back, then looked at Xiao Zou: "Now you can study freely."

Tachibana Kanade's golden eyes lit up. Her expression revealed no emotional fluctuations, but as she followed Nazha away, the little girl's steps were somewhat bouncy, as if she were skipping.

"Alright, let's go. This is a rare opportunity, let's go for a walk and grab a bite to eat."

"Okay. Hehe, it's on me."

"That's a real help."

Yuuki flashed a bright white smile and took Shaka's arm. She was a bold and cheerful girl; illness hadn't disturbed her positive spirit. Having decided to embrace the magic called "Cinderella," she was determined to give it her all.

The two strolled through the streets of Orario, tacitly avoiding the direction of the "Abundant Mistress," and instead arrived at the "Bee Flame Pavilion" in the southwest street.

The desserts and afternoon tea here are the best in Orario. I spent a lot of money to enjoy the desserts to my heart's content.

As she left, Yuki patted her bulging belly, her face full of resentment: "Uh—I'm tired of eating this."

"I already told you not to eat too many desserts."

"I want to eat it!" Yuki pouted and chuckled. "Doctors won't let me eat these things outside. I've wanted to try it for a long time."

"Look at you, you're all covered in cream." Xia Jia looked at Yuki's face, which was still smeared with cream, and reached out to wipe it off.

"Hmm, there's a flaw!" Yuki shrank back and rubbed her face against Xia Jia's clothes.

"Wow, you ambushed me!" Xia Jia was stunned for a moment, then shouted and reached out her devilish hand towards Yuki's waist.

"Hehe." Yuki jumped away in a flash, then made a face at Xia Jiaban: "Come and chase me."

"Watch how powerful I am...!"

During their chase, the two quickly crossed the street and appeared in front of a stone bridge.

The stone bridge is 60 meters long, and a statue stands every four meters. There are a total of 31 statues on the left and right sides of the bridge.

The Bridge of Heroes is a stone statue commemorating the heroes who drove the monsters back into the Great Cave. Even though Orario has destroyed it many times, this stone bridge will always be rebuilt.

The two walked to the center of the stone bridge, where there was only a statue, and on the opposite side was an empty base.

At this moment, in front of another statue, a blonde girl stood quietly. She had an elfin-like beautiful face, and her eyes were filled with hatred and determination.

"I want to become stronger."

Sensing someone approaching, Ais turned around and met Shaka's gaze.

"A fairy spirit?" She was slightly shocked at first, but quickly regained her composure, nodded slightly, and slowly left the stone bridge.

Xia Jia and Yuki walked forward and came to the spot where the girl had been standing.

"Who is that...?"

“Sword Maiden, Ais Wallenstein. She leveled up at an incredibly fast pace, currently holding the record for the fastest leveling in the city. She's already level 5,” Shaka explained.

"Really? She's amazing!" Yuki exclaimed admiringly.

"It's nothing. I believe you'll surpass her soon, Yuki."

Shaga couldn't be certain that Yuuki could surpass the fastest leveling record, not because she couldn't level up within a year, but because the Shadow, the cheater, might level up even faster than Yuuki.

Their gazes fell on the statue.

"Hero Albert, the legendary mercenary king Valentine, is said to be the one who ultimately injured one of the black dragon's eyes, thus ending the ancient era and ushering in the Age of Gods."

As her boyfriend, Xia Jia patiently introduced the historical stories he knew, acting like a tour guide.

"Wallentstan? That Sword Maiden?"

"It should be his descendants, but there is no record of it in official history. The mercenary king did have offspring."

Even Shaga didn't know Ais's exact identity. It was said she was a child found in the dungeon, the child of the Mercenary King and the fairy Aria, but...

They were all figures from a thousand years ago.

Soon, Yuki noticed the other side.

"The only thing missing here is a statue."

That was the pedestal opposite the Mercenary King, and Shaga had mixed feelings about it. He looked at it with longing eyes and said yearningly:

"This is the pedestal reserved for the last hero."

"Albert drove away the black dragon, and Zeus and Hera's two clans ended two of the world's three great commissions. He was almost able to leave their statues here. Unfortunately, he was defeated by the black dragon."

"Stay here?" Yuki asked, puzzled.

"Literally, this is a reserved spot for the final hero who defeats the black dragon and completely liberates the world."

Shaja spoke with a powerful and resounding voice: "Whoever can defeat the black dragon, their statue will remain here, to be worshipped for all eternity."

"Whoever defeats the Black Dragon will have their statue placed here and remembered by the whole world," Yuki repeated Shaka's words.

His eyes blazed with an indelible desire, and a fighting spirit.

She let go of Shaga's hand and climbed up the statue.

With one hand on his hip and the other pointing to the sky, he looked down at Xia Jia:

"The final hero to save the world! I, [Absolute Sword] Yuuki, am determined to be it!"

What do people think about when they know their life is coming to an end?

Is it out of longing for family and the world, and a desire to try all the things one wouldn't have dared to do in life, as planned?

Yuki is not such a cowardly person.

She had a bigger goal: she wanted to prove that her birth and her life were valuable!

If Shaga hadn't appeared, she would have chosen to lead the Sleeping Knights, wandering through various game "worlds," leaving their names in those worlds.

Whether it's clearing a dungeon for the first time or completing it the fastest, she wants to leave her mark on the world.

Now, she has an even bigger goal: she wants to become the ultimate hero!

Xia Jia looked at the spirited Yuki, and her lips curved slightly:

"Alright, I've made up my mind too. I'm going to become the King of Heroes!"

Chapter 104 Shadow: Hmph, trash

"Huh? Is Kaka going to compete with me?" Yuuki asked, somewhat bewildered.

It seems the little girl hasn't heard of this joke before.

Shaka explained, "That is, the man who will become the Hero King Yuuki."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki blushed and jumped off the pedestal, covering her face. She now felt that becoming the King of Heroes was a bit too shameful.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Yuki covered her face with her hands, not daring to look at the people around her.

"What, you don't want to be the King of Heroes anymore? Or do you not want me to be the King of Heroes' man?" Xia Jia teased.

"There's no one like you."

Yuki, after all, was still a young girl and had never experienced anything like this before. She pulled Shaka towards an empty alley.

Wandering aimlessly through all sorts of twists and turns, even Xia Jia eventually lost track of where she had ended up.

"This... seems to be Daedalus Street..."

The two walked slowly through the strangely structured building, sometimes with a sky bridge overhead, sometimes with an underground tunnel. This maze-like structure, comparable to an underground city, gave Xia Jia quite a headache.

He took out his phone and opened the CatMap app, but the map was blank.

"It would be great if we could put a satellite in this world."

Shaga's sense of direction was never very good to begin with, and now he was in a maze without a map. Even with road signs nearby, he couldn't tell which way was which.

Like a scrambled Rubik's Cube, it will probably take a lot of effort to restore it.

The two of them could only go forward with their heads covered like this...

Suddenly, from around the corner came the sound of metal striking flesh, accompanied by a man's scream.

"what's the situation?"

"Shall we go take a look?"

The two exchanged a glance and walked toward the direction of the sound, only to find a high wall in front of them.

Oh no, if we take a detour now, we probably won't be able to find this place... Xia Jia paused for a moment and said, "I'll go first, you wait here."

Yuki nodded.

Xia Jia glanced at the wall, took two steps back, accelerated, swooped down, jumped, and stepped onto the side wall with one foot and the main wall with the other. Using the momentum, he instantly shot up seven or eight meters. He grabbed the eaves of the house above with one hand and then flipped himself up.

Stepping across the house, Shaka quickly got a clear view of the situation before him.

A figure covered in black robes, holding a crowbar, was forcefully striking a man with a full beard.

Those relentless blows knocked out the bearded man's teeth.
