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

[A Chess Player's Reflection]

• Command skills: Shouts can expand the range beyond a certain point.

• Those who share the same grace can communicate telepathically over long distances, with the maximum range proportional to their level.

Kong stroked his chin and analyzed, "Old Xia, shouldn't you add a private chat skill for us? It's too boring to rely on skills for command."

Chapter 126 'Black Cat' I love you

Yuki's speed attribute is close to 1000 points, and because of her boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, Shaka shares an average ability value of close to 350 points.

And then there's Shadow, whose buff to Shaka is also considerable. She's no less powerful than Yuuki.

With all attributes averaging F-rank, Shaga's overall ability value increased by nearly 600 points in each stat.

Including the approximately 3500 points of blessing from Ryu.

Xia Jia's total attribute points have reached a terrifying 5300 points in each category. Even when converted to a level, it's close to a level 3 adventurer with all attributes upgraded to S rank.

"Ha, as long as I rely on my wife with all my might, what is a little silence? Sooner or later I will have her under my body and rubbing her."

Watching the young players grow up healthily, Xia Jia thought to herself with great satisfaction.

only……

"By the way, Black Cat, what are your stats?"

Shaga turned around abruptly, looking at the 'black cat' that was trying to slip away.

'Black Cat' froze, then retorted with a stern face:

"Ability values ​​are a secret for everyone, and even the leader shouldn't arbitrarily look into other people's privacy."

What 'Black Cat' said makes a lot of sense. This is common knowledge in Orario. Members of the Familia can also change their faction, exposing their own abilities and attributes, making it easy for opponents to exploit their weaknesses.

Many skills come at a cost.

For example, Ota's beast transformation, while greatly enhancing his abilities, has the side effect of rapidly depleting his stamina. By grasping this point, it is easy to find ways to counter him.

only……

This is just common sense in Orario. All members of the Familia are here because they are dependent on Shaka. There is no reason or need to hide anything from Shaka.

Or rather, sharing the joy of promotion is now the norm for the Astrea Familia.

Understanding each person's capabilities also makes it easier to formulate a battle plan without prior knowledge.

and so……

Xia Jia gave the black cat a meaningful look:

"Black Cat, I know you're still angry with me, so come to my room for a bit, and we'll have a good talk."

"I understand. I know."

The two walked together.

Yui pressed her finger to her lips and asked, "Has their relationship progressed to that point?"

Yuuki shook her head: "Kaga is acting strangely. Is she planning something again?"

Unlike his usual self, Tu Shou clenched his fists seriously: "That person is not the Fallen Saint. She has no demonic aura and is just a mortal!"

Sora looked at Tokumori with surprise.

Is this some kind of telepathic connection caused by chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? I thought you were just a reckless brute, but it turns out you were faking it all along.

Earlier on the way, Dekomori stopped playing around with the black cat, which made Sora notice something was wrong.

To ensure the plan went smoothly, Bai said, "I'm hungry, shall we have some fries?"

Tachibana immediately raised his hand: "Mapo Tofu!"

“That’s heresy!” Kaoru Miyazono retorted.

The group's rhythm was instantly disrupted. Kong glanced at Xia Jia's back before leading everyone out.

In the room...

Shaga sat on the bed, legs crossed, scrutinizing Lily, who was disguised as a black cat.

Putting everything else aside, there's nothing unusual about its appearance. It's just that the black cat's occasional demonic aura is too distinctive, and careful observation can easily reveal its flaws.

If I had to put it into words, Lily now is more like a black cat with her sister—well-behaved, obedient, and occasionally throwing a little tantrum.

Seeing that Lily was not going to be honest, Shaka spoke up:

"I know that Yuki's situation made you angry and feel betrayed, but you need to understand that the person I love is you!"

Lily paused for a moment, then looked up in disbelief.

I never expected there to be such a juicy story within the Astrea Familia. I'm so unlucky to have ended up replacing such a guy.

She puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be angry, saying, "It's good that you know."

Hey? They're already acting?

Xia Jia became interested, and the previously unattainable soul of a scumbag began to stir. She immediately racked her brains, recalling quotes she had learned from various short videos:

“Yuki is just my classmate. She has a terminal illness, so at the end of her life, she was fulfilling her last wish. I just went to comfort her. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would be angry.”

Actually, the person I've always loved is you!

Xia Jia, his eyes deep and star-like, took 'Black Cat's' hand and said in an incredibly gentle tone:

"Can you forgive me? I just made a mistake that all men make."

Xia Jia felt comfortable. She could no longer say things she would normally be too ashamed to say, but in front of another 'actor', she spoke without restraint.

Lily panicked: What's going on? What's going on?

A confession? At this time? To me?

Lily was at a loss, and even the 'black cat' blushed. She tried to pull her hand back, but couldn't. She could only turn her face away and stammer:

"I...I understand, I forgive you, please let me go."

Shaga pressed her advantage: "Then would you be willing to let me see your stats?"

Lily was stunned. Looking at the ability stats, it meant she had to take off her clothes.

"No, no."

"You still won't forgive me..."

"No, not really..." Lily was speechless.

Xia Jia pulled the 'Black Cat' over and pressed her onto the bed, his gaze deep and filled with sorrow:

"What do you want me to do for you to believe me! You used to call me your little kitten, but now you're ignoring me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm not a black cat!" Lily thought to herself, while inside she was panicking.

"I believe you," was all she could say.

"Then show me En Hui."

"This……"

"I promise, I'll just look and I definitely won't touch it..."

Shaka felt the trembling of the small body of the 'black cat' beneath her, and could sense the inner struggle of its owner.

Putting everything else aside, Lily's transformation magic, if she were born in Ishtar, would definitely create a completely different art style.

Xia Jia pondered whether her next step should be to just rub against him and never go in.

The 'black cat' in my arms had tears welling up in its eyes.

"No, you can't look."

After seeing Grace, everything is over.

Xia Jia was stunned.

It felt like there was a void inside me, as if I had made the black cat cry.

A scene suddenly flashed into his mind: stairs, streetlights, a night demon girl crying out to the sky, unleashing a curse.

Even knowing that the black cat in front of her was a fake, seeing her face stained with tears still made her feel heartbroken.

"I'm sorry," Xia Jia blurted out instinctively.

But he quickly realized he shouldn't apologize. Lily was the enemy; whatever he did wasn't wrong.

As Xia Jia stepped back, Lily lowered her head, sat up, and large tears fell onto the bedsheets, spreading out.

She knew she couldn't keep up the act any longer; the clan crest couldn't lie. He must have realized it long ago. That idiot, Chanis…

She has no hope left.

At that moment, an image appeared in Lily's mind: in a flower shop, she was smiling and holding a bouquet of flowers, while her grandparents looked at her kindly.

The next second, the scene was ruthlessly smashed, the flower shop was vandalized, and the grandparents looked at them with disgust and disdain.

The image freezes, gradually turning blood-red.
