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

"You agree, don't you, Ghana-san!"

Tione pulled Raul closer again: "Who is Ghana?!"

"The family has recently recruited new members from the 'school district'..."

Kato Megumi quietly raised her hand to remind her, "Um, my name is Kato Megumi."

Chapter 216 Black Crow Winery

The Loki Familia's daily life is always so unreliable. But when it comes to serious matters, Finn is quite cautious.

After teasing Raul a little, he and Loki discussed the rescue plan.

“Grace is different from me. He is a power-type fighter and should be more at ease when facing a siege. Judging from the choice of the four executives surrounding me, they don’t seem to want to go head-to-head with the old man. Instead, they chose me, who is slightly weaker in all aspects.”

In the world of DanMachi, there are significant differences in racial talents. Even if the ability values ​​are basically the same, dwarves are stronger and more durable than dwarves.

This gap will widen further as the level increases.

The four level 5 melee fighters, facing the level 6 dwarf Griss, known for his immense strength, will likely find it difficult to escape unscathed as they did with Finn.

Finn stroked his chin and analyzed, "After all, if you can't even withstand an attack in one move, then there's no point in sieging it."

Rivera's expression softened slightly: "So, the old man should be safe for the time being."

Finn nodded: "The most likely scenario is to trap him in a maze, but super-hard metal shouldn't be a difficult obstacle for the old man. If we spend the time, we might be able to dig a path out."

Loki nodded: "The favors haven't diminished, but the rescue operation is urgent. Do you have any suggestions?"

Finn said:

"We must obtain the 'key.' Currently, the only known 'keys' are one held by Commander Xia and another by the mysterious person who sent me out."

Riveria nodded slightly:

"Last time, the other party took the initiative to invite us. If they were to send a large army to our borders, they might not be so willing to open the gates."

Tiona held her head in her hands and urged:

"Then let's not delay, let's set off quickly, get the key and rescue the old man!"

Riveria said:

"Then, Finn, you will be in charge of finding that mysterious lady, and I will be in charge of contacting Lady Astrea."

She paused, then asked, "Do you have that lady's contact information?"

Finn thought for a moment, then looked at Loki: "Yes, but I've never heard of that place. Loki, do you know of a place in the city called 'Black Crow Winery'?"

“Black Crow Distillery?” Loki thought for a moment, then clenched his fist and clenched his fist.

"Oh, that one, the new pub that's been really famous lately. They even have special services~ Hehe, and the drinks are really good too."

"Loki, have you been wasting money again?" Rivera crossed her arms and glared at her.

“Uh—” Loki’s expression froze.

"I was scouting enemy positions, not attracted by the girls there."

Finn interrupted Loki's explanation:

"So, Loki, you know the location of that tavern, right?"

Loki gave Finn a strange look:

“That tavern used to be owned by Somo. You even managed it for a while. It’s located on the bustling street.”

“Uh—” Finn paused for a moment: “That’s not the Astrea Familia…”

Finn stroked his chin thoughtfully, "No wonder that child rescued me without saying a word. So that's how it is. Has Commander Xia explored the maze to this extent?"

Riveria was also taken aback. She hadn't participated in the war game and wasn't familiar with the recently popular Commander Xia. She looked at Ais.

Ais gave a thumbs up: "Their potato balls are delicious."

Rivera's eyebrows drooped...

We shouldn't count on this child.

Tiona's eyes widened: "They're already capable of participating in battles like this? And they've gained an even greater advantage than us!"

"As expected of a story machine, people who like Heroic Tales are truly remarkable!"

Bert snorted: "He's just a little clever, but in the end he's nothing more than a chick that's just been weaned."

Kato Megumi, who was eavesdropping, was stunned.

'What? Finn took over that tavern? Doesn't that mean Lord Shadow has been exposed?'

She joined the clan after the War Game and didn't know the specifics. She silently bowed to the void: "I'm sorry, Lord Shadow, I didn't mean to."

After confirming who he needed to visit, Loki slapped his thigh casually:

"Alright, since that's the case, let's go to that [tavern] to experience... no, I mean, visit some old friends. Go~go!"

Finn was also very urgent. "Loki, you seemed to have had a minor conflict with that captain back then. For your safety, I think you need to repay the favor as soon as possible."

Having made his decision, Finn, carrying a large deposit certificate issued by the guild, followed Loki to the tavern.

Kato Megumi was about to follow, but Raul stopped her.

"We need to prepare supplies for the expedition and be responsible for transportation and resupply. Come with me, we're going to the warehouse."

You're letting a mouse into a rice jar...

Kato Megumi's eyes flickered, but in the end she didn't take other people's supplies; after all, she was a member of the Justice Familia!

……

Southwest Street in Orario is located in the lower left corner of the map. It is an area where many foreign merchants gather, and it is only one street away from the warehouse and the free market.

Adventurers, travelers, merchants, and all sorts of other characters visit and enter the shops on both sides of the street.

Loki, with Finn and Riveria, went straight through the Fairy Cafe, a popular spot among elves, and bypassed the market area, which was full of outsiders and sold adventurers' supplies, and arrived at the edge of the city wall.

Here stands a tavern that only allows dwarves to enter.

Finn is very familiar with this place; he often comes here to relax and have a drink when he has free time.

Of course, he was also selecting outstanding younger members of his clan; it would be even better if they could become potential wives.

But their target this time was not this small shop.

It's the one next door.

Black Crow Distillery

This is a newly opened popular store in Orario, following the release of the war game.

The wide variety of drinks is popular with merchants and travelers from all over the world. They are not only unique in taste but also inexpensive. Recently, many adventurers on a tight budget have also come here for a drink.

Due to its overwhelming popularity, the store had to introduce a particularly unique sales method...

Finn stood in front of the shop, staring blankly at the twenty-odd goblins coming in and out.

They wore yellow vests, carried small wooden boxes on their backs, had red headscarves tied on their heads, and blue scarves fluttered as they ran.

Their bodies are also marked with the emblem of scales and wings, the pattern of the Astrea Familia.

After the war game, the fact that the leader of the Astrea Familia could summon monsters to assist in battle was broadcast live throughout the city.

Therefore, most residents are exceptionally tolerant of goblins wearing Astraea's work clothes.

At first, some people tried to attack these goblins, but not a single goblin fought back. Even if they were killed, Shaga would only seek compensation from the person involved for the lost goods.

After a few days, such incidents became rare.

Humans are creatures that adapt easily; they've even gotten used to goblins roaming the streets and alleys.

Ultimately, they're just magical creations; goblins are much safer than fireballs streaking across the sky.

Finn hesitated: "This is..."

"Hmm... is it called Beige Zhengqi? It's basically a errand boy." Loki said familiarly, hands in his pockets.

"You see, this place is packed most of the time. Anyone who wants a drink but can't get a seat pays a deposit in advance and then has these 'delivery riders' bring it to their home."

Finn was taken aback. "Then why didn't they just take the whole bottle? Wouldn't they be able to drink it right away then?"

Loki shook his index finger: "You don't understand, do you? Different drinks mixed together will produce different flavors. Every drink made by a bartender will have a different feel depending on the technique and ingredients used."

"Therefore, the real enjoyment comes from ordering a cocktail that matches your mood and fortune each day!"

Loki squinted and looked at Riveria, introducing, "There are also many good fruit wines inside, as well as private rooms that suit the elven environment. Hmm, imagine having a violin performance playing, it would be so elegant."

Rivera crossed her arms and squinted: "Elegance requires Fari. Loki, how much did you pay to experience elegance?"

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Rivera, Loki chuckled and changed the subject:

"Let's hurry up and go. The tavern has themed events every day. Let me check..."

"Yes, today's theme is Brave's Special."

Ok?

Brave Warrior's Special?
