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

Have any of you seen similar sprites?

Rey gathered her companions, asked them questions, and then shook her head:

"We haven't seen the masked green-haired elf on any of the nearby floors either."

Shaga pondered:

“Liu isn’t on the lower level? But there’s intelligence that she entered the 18th level. Unless she returned to the upper level at night or went into the deeper levels, there would be more information than we would have.”

Could it be that she wandered into the man-made maze? But that's impossible, she doesn't have the key.

The reason why Shaka has never considered the possibility of Ryu's whereabouts being related to the man-made maze is because the probability is too low.

First, it must be confirmed that Chanis can find the core members of the man-made maze, which is a very low probability.

Secondly, this core member had to foolishly lead Ryu to the entrance to the maze that no one had discovered for hundreds of years.

Secondly, if this core member were smart enough, Ryu wouldn't have gotten the key, and Ryu would have been stuck on the periphery, ultimately failing.

Ultimately, Ryu needs to happen to catch the person who has the key and recognize that the "Eye of Daedalus" is the key to the gate!

If any one of these four conditions cannot be met, Ryu will not be able to enter the man-made maze.

Therefore, Shaga never even considered that possibility.

but now……

"If we eliminate all the impossibilities, then even if the last answer is outrageous, we can only believe it." Xia Jia sighed.

Upon hearing this, Asifi interjected, "You know where Ryu is?"

Shaga said with distress:

"I can't be sure, but if it really is the place I'm thinking of, then we're in trouble. It's not a place that people like us can conquer easily."

That's way beyond the scope, my friend! That's a dungeon you can only farm in the mid-to-late game!

Leila's expression stiffened, and she said anxiously, "Even if it's dangerous, just let me go. Tell me the location."

Given Leila's current state of mind—fearless of death and even capable of transmitting intelligence—she is indeed the most suitable candidate.

"makes sense."

Shaka took a map out of his four-dimensional pocket, spread it on the ground, and speculated:

"The information we can confirm at present is that Ryu did enter the 18th floor, and no one saw her leave. Therefore, my guess is that she is currently on the 18th floor."

Asifi interrupted, "I've been searching the 18th floor for two days, but I haven't seen [Gale]."

Are you sure it's all locations on the 18th floor? Does that include unexplored areas?

This……

Asphie shook her head: "There are no unexplored areas on the 18th floor. We adventurers have lived on the 18th floor for hundreds of years. If there were unexplored areas, they would have been discovered long ago."

"That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, does it?"

Shaga couldn't directly reveal the information about the man-made maze, so he could only subtly remind Asphie.

Asphi knew, of course, that was ridiculous, but it was indeed one of the possibilities.

and so……

"If there is such a hidden paradise, where exactly is it?"

Shaga looked at the map, feeling very troubled. How could he reasonably reveal the information?

Reed suggested, "Perhaps we could interrogate the captured prisoners?"

Leila shook her head: "I just asked him, but he's very stubborn and won't say a word."

Shaga didn't expect any traitors to appear on the other side... those who hang out with Thanatos are all a bit crazy, and they're capable of self-destructing at any moment.

Just when everyone was at a loss.

The recovered Shadow casually tossed out a dagger, which landed directly in the eastern part of the 18th floor map.

He said calmly, "Here, I smell the scent of darkness."

Xia Jia was stunned, because the dagger was stuck right on the eastern edge of the 18th floor, at the entrance to the man-made maze.

He seemed to have forgotten that Shadow possessed a peculiar kind of luck, a luck that always managed to drag him into the clutches of his enemies.

Shaka suddenly analyzed loudly:

"As expected of Lord Shadow! This location is far from Rivera and close to the edge of the maze, forming a zigzag with the lake on the left and the cliff on the right, making it a blind spot that no one would explore!"

Xia Jia spouted nonsense, cooperating with Lord Shadow's actions.

Asphie's eyes held a hint of doubt.

"I have a feeling that you guys just randomly picked a spot."

"The edge of the 18th floor was precisely calculated; that is the boundary of the floor, and it is impossible for a secret realm to exist there."

You wouldn't believe it, but there's an infrastructure powerhouse who, with just his family, built an 18-story man-made maze...

Xia Jia thought to himself, then straightened his face and said:

"I will not allow you to question the leader's plans. We need to confirm the existence of the secret realm ourselves before we speak."

Shadow was very satisfied with Shaka's performance. He turned his back, crossed his arms, and said in a deep, sexy, bubbly voice:

"Let's go, X! No need to lower ourselves to the level of trash."

He was in high spirits. He had missed the chance to show off in front of the villains before due to health reasons, so now he was determined to make a good impression.

"Yes, Lord Shadow!" Shaja bowed and nodded.

"Hey, Shadow-sama!" Leila also raised the corners of her mouth.

Yuki raised her fist: "Let's go, let's go!"

Asphi looked completely bewildered: "Hey, what's going on here?"

Reed followed and asked, "Do you need our help?"

Shaga pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's inconvenient for you to be in Rivera town, so..."

Shaga handed over several test tubes and said:

“This is my blood; it can help me mark your location. If you need help, I will open a door next to you, so you can either provide support or retreat.”

Chapter 179 Yuuki, Black Cat Levels Up

Knossos, a man-made labyrinth.

This is a man-made wonder built by Daedalus, the first benefactor of the god who created the city, and its grandeur is comparable to the Great Wall of China.

After witnessing the mystery and magnificence of the underground city, he vowed to build a miraculous structure comparable to it. Thus, a curse was placed in his bloodline, lasting for hundreds of years.

Originally, such a wonder of the world might have been a treasure of mankind, a barrier to conquering dungeons, but Daedalus was just a pure craftsman.

He did not share this information with anyone, and ultimately, this spectacle, which should have benefited countless people, became a den of iniquity and the source of all evil.

at this time……

In the central control room of the man-made maze, a white-haired man with stubble and dark circles under his eyes looked out at a certain spot in the maze.

Beside him stood a demure male god with long purple hair, wearing a cloak, who asked in a charming voice:

"What's wrong, Barka-chan? You don't look too happy."

"Another little mouse has run into the maze."

Barca Perdictus, Dix's half-brother, was also a craftsman of Knossos in this generation.

He didn't like his peaceful work environment being disturbed; unlike Dix, he just wanted to complete his mission.

Thanatos heard Barca's words and dismissed them, saying:

"Rats? Just leave them alone as before, they'll starve to death in a few days anyway."

The passageways of the man-made maze are all made of super-hard metal, and the gates connecting the various key points are made of the hardest metal.

Their greatest confidence stemmed from the fact that no one could escape the sealed maze.

Barka's words, however, moved Thanatos somewhat:

"That mouse has the key!"

Thanatos was moved: "The key? Where did she get it? Wait, doesn't that mean our existence is about to be exposed?"

"Oh no, Dix isn't here. Should I call Valeta back?"

Barka remained silent, then slowly shook his head, a smile devoid of any emotion appearing on his face:

"She's just a little mouse. When Dix gets back, she'll deal with her. But... before that, she needs to get out of my labyrinth alive first!"

The projected image in the central control room.

Wearing a bright green cloak, a mask, and a pure white tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt, the elf, wielding a wooden sword, is slowly making its way forward, feeling its way along the wall.

She has been in this maze for two days.

After experiencing traps such as hidden arrows, rolling stones, and falling holes, she began to become cautious and careful.
