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

With 9 level 4 and 2 level 3, and this stat boost, wouldn't a mere Zagnat be easily kicked away?

Xia Jia chuckled and said, "It's not too late now. Anyway, if you want to revive the seniors, you have to return my private stash... no, I mean, you have to make the clan thrive!"

Leila said with a troubled expression, "My identity is rather sensitive, so it would probably be very troublesome if I wanted to help. I'm counting on you, Liu."

"Yes." Liu said straightforwardly, "Starting tomorrow, I will seriously train the juniors, so be prepared to be beaten until you vomit!"

Why are you looking at me like that?!

Shaga recalled the Spartan-style training he received from this useless elf, feeling it wouldn't be any easier than fighting Silence.

Hmm... let's have a moment of silence for the little players.

However, when it comes to the young players, Xia Jia feels like he has forgotten something.

He slapped his thigh: "That's right, Yuuki! She's still in the maze!"

He quickly opened the spatial portal and, using the connection between the divine bloodline and the grace, swiftly located Yuki's position and summoned her back to his side.

"It's no problem now."

Yuki was momentarily stunned, then upon seeing Ryu, she flashed a bright smile: "Senpai, you're alright, that's so great!"

Leila jumped up and punched Shaga on the head: "No problem my foot! You omnipotent one! You left Asphie in the maze too!"

Oh! There's also an all-powerful one.

"Hehe." Xia Jia stuck out her tongue: "The Omnipotent One is so amazing, she can definitely handle it all by herself!"

Leila grabbed Shaka by the collar and shouted, "Hey! You idiot! Go and bring her out here! This involves a conflict between clans!"

Sensing Leila's urging, Shaka slowly revealed a smile:

"Don't rush, everything is going according to plan."

Shaka's plan went smoothly. She used the excuse of going to school to send Kuroko and the others away, and then used the excuse of not having enough props to make Yuki do a job like drawing a map.

In this way, young players won't have to face those inhuman lunatics in the man-made maze.

When facing the dark faction, there is only one choice: kill them. But the younger players clearly haven't grasped this concept yet.

The only problem now is how to appease Lord Shadow. Shaga also has plans for this.

Doesn't he like hunting shadows? Then he can go by himself, maybe with a couple more companions. Conquering the artificial dungeon definitely needs to be reported to the other Familias in Orario; Shaka alone would need at least two more versions to develop before anything can happen.

As for Asphie...

"Don't underestimate that woman. Even if she manages to reach the core of the maze and steal the map, I wouldn't be surprised!"

The best time to enter the maze is after you have obtained a detailed map of it.

Shaga explained his plan to Leila:

"With the map, we can try to take advantage of the man-made maze. Whether it's obsidian, super-hard metal, or even the cursed items in the traps, they are all very valuable."

"Your clan needs to grow, senior. What's a faster way to get rich than robbing the dark factions?"

Leila's eyes flickered uncertainly: "What do you mean?"

"I will build a spatial anchor point near the graveyard, so that players can appear on the 18th floor every time they respawn."

Shaga revealed a sly smile and emphasized, "You too!"

Chapter 186 Eavesdropping

"Eeya ya ya—"

"Why?! How could such a big, living person just suddenly disappear like that?! Shaka!!!! You bastard!"

In the man-made maze.

Asphie clutched her head and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

She was already used to her fate as a chosen worker, but it was really inhumane of you to just leave me like this in such a dangerous maze!

She stomped her feet angrily, her voice bearing a striking resemblance to Xia Laofei's. Her aggrieved complaints were exactly like her when she was rushing to finish her manuscript.

"what?"

After venting her frustrations, she suddenly found a note on the ground in the passageway.

"It seems like they floated out of the cave together with Yuki when she disappeared."

Asphie picked up the note and slowly read it under the glow of the magic stone in the passage:

"Ryu has escaped safely. I'll take Yuki and retreat first. The man-made maze is of great importance. I believe Hermes also wants to investigate its secrets. So, before the enemy becomes more vigilant, please investigate the situation! Also, the map is crucial. If you can steal the enemy's maze design, that would be even better!"

"You are the lovely, handsome and charming Commander Xia."

Click.

Asifi's veins throbbed, and she crumpled the note in one hand and threw it on the ground.

She stomped on it several more times before sitting down on the ground, looking deflated.

"Damn it, how could they assign me such a dangerous job! It must be revenge! It must be revenge for luring Ryu to cause trouble for Shaka back then!"

"A vengeful man! Just like that shameless vixen!"

After venting her anger, Asphie picked up the note again and looked at it repeatedly.

She felt that Shaga wouldn't do something that would harm her teammates, and that she must have, like Hermes, prepared a backup plan.

really……

On the back of the note, there was a line of small print that you would miss if you didn't look closely.

"Oh, by the way, the hilt of the spatial magic sword I gave you is smeared with my blood. Tear it open and activate the sword, and it will teleport you to the Sword City. Hmm... You didn't crumple up the note and just happened to miss this message, did you? No way, no way!"

After reading this small print, Asifi's fist hardened again.

"Damn it!"

She took a deep breath and a smile appeared on her lips.

Now that she has security, there are many things she can do.

Like Shaga, the Hermes Familia also has many things that need to be kept secret, such as Asphie's own rank and the various intelligence work she does.

She insisted on coming in with Xia Jia, partly out of curiosity about the man-made maze, and partly to find out more about Xia Jia.

This man has brought her so many surprises. Others may not know, but she knows very well that just over a month ago, this little boy was a novice who struggled even to defeat goblins.

With her invisibility mask and Shaka's "Flying Thunder God" (a rope with holes), she has no reason not to explore the labyrinth.

Adjusting her mindset, Asifi walked forward along the dark alleyway.

She didn't light the magic stone lamp, but relied solely on the fluorite embedded along the edge of the passage to discern the route.

Before long, the entire floor became noisy as many adventurers dressed in black robes appeared. They were remnants of the dark faction, and their numbers even exceeded one hundred after just a few intersections!

"They seem flustered, as if they're looking for something?"

Asphie did not make any rash moves and followed behind a small group of men in black robes.

Another hour later, the group left the eighteenth floor and moved to the upper floors.

As Asphie walked forward with the main group, she became increasingly alarmed.

I thought this 18-story maze was big enough, but I never expected there would be an upper level!

She only felt numb when she followed those people to the 12th floor.

"Judging from the appearance, this maze may have as many as 18 levels, and unlike the underground city, the area increases as you go up!"

Asphie could imagine just how large the top layer was; it could probably cover half of Orario!

Soon, these members of the dark faction gathered in a hall on the 12th floor.

Asphie also mingled quietly behind everyone else, waiting.

A moment later, a purple-haired deity wearing a soft, jet-black robe emerged.

Behind him followed a woman draped in a long robe made of monster fur, beneath which wore only a tube top and leather boots. She had short pink hair, and the cold smile that curled at the corner of her mouth sent chills down one's spine.

“Valetta Tigre.” The name came to Asphie’s mind.

She was a key member of the Dark Faction over the past seven years, a Level 5 adventurer. However, the official information was that she had already died three years ago in the [27th Floor Nightmare].

Another person surprised Asphie as well.

It was a man with a full head of white hair. His face was covered by a bone mask, making it impossible to see his features. However, from the conversation among the crowd, it was learned that he was another executive who, like Valetta, had died in the [27th Floor Nightmare].

"【White-haired Ghost】Olivas".

Not only Lyra, but even past enemies have been resurrected?

If Asphi hadn't known Shaga, she would have thought that Shaga was some unknown mastermind controlling the spread of darkness in the city.

Not long after, the sunglasses-wearing man, Dix, whom we had met before, returned carrying a long gun. He looked somewhat disheveled and had an unfriendly expression.

Valetta sneered, "Oh, the main character is back?"

Dix scoffed and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Valetta bent down, her face full of sarcasm:
