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

Xia Jia stretched and took a bath to wash away the fatigue from a day of exercise.

"Why should I pay him when he's so selfless in giving to Dekomori?"

Looking at the remaining 4400 Fali, Shaga gave Cecil 1000 for rent and food expenses, and complained.

“Is that even a question? Because Dekomori is a member of a clan, and you are my opponent. Besides, 1000 isn’t enough; you even damaged the armor I lent you.” Cecil’s reasoning was also quite sound.

Shaga could only manage a forced laugh.

"So, where's Dekomori? Did he go off to play somewhere again?"

I can't exactly tell you they've left this world... Shaka rolled her eyes and casually said, "They went home and only come during the day."

"really?"

“That is the truth, I swear to God,” Shaka said firmly.

Cecil muttered in confusion, "I've never seen those two kids before. I thought they were from out of town."

Seemingly unwilling to delve deeper, Cecil continued to forge the warhammer of the Defiant Guard, muttering to himself:

"How is it possible to imbue a weapon with lightning?!"

Xia Jia's face darkened: "Regarding this, if you're so biased towards Tu Shou, the other members will be unhappy. You can't just give everyone a unique weapon, can you?"

“I have money, it’s none of your business.” Cecil looked on with fascination: “Sanae-chan is an angel! You can’t spoil her enough.”

Shaga wanted to say, "Why don't you give me one too?" but seeing Cecil's unfriendly look, he immediately shut up.

Astraea walked over slowly, glanced at Cecil who was working overtime, and said softly, "Cecil seems to really like Sanae-chan."

"Of course, cuteness is absolute justice!! This is an unchanging law!" Cecil said smugly.

“I agree with that…” Shaka agreed, “Although Dekomori is an idiot, he’s surprisingly likable.”

"Does Natsumi-chan like it too? Between Natsumi-chan and Ruri-chan, which do you like better?" Astraea teased.

"Please, don't make fun of me." Xia Jia blushed and raised her hands in surrender: "My answer shouldn't need to be asked."

Having already died several times, Shaka didn't want to expose her inner desires anymore.

If I had to say, a harem is every man's ideal.

But a certain absolute evil once said that the "ideal" is absolute justice.

I was just following the will of my goddess, and that's not excessive at all!

……

I didn't get the answer I expected.

Astraea didn't mind; she gently took Shaka's arm and stroked it.

"A lot happened today, didn't it? Does it still hurt here?"

"Much better, Lady Lia." Shaga awkwardly withdrew her hand and scratched her face. "Perfect timing. I have something to tell you. Let's find a secluded place. I can't control my primal power anymore."

"Ok?"

Cecil turned his head stiffly, pouting and trying to suppress his anger.

I won't fall for it again, you damned Shaga!

In the divine chamber,

Xia Jia lay on the bed and slowly recounted the events of the day.

“An enhanced version of the Minotaur…” Astraea’s expression relaxed: “No wonder your attribute values ​​have increased so much.”

Astraea handed Shaga a parchment inscribed with her ability stats.

Shaga lv1

Strength: I7→H32 Endurance: I13→I50 Dexterity: I6→I40 Agility: I4→I44 Magic: I53→H110

A total increase of around 100 in ability points is, for a level 2 combat stat, almost abnormally normal.

[Yeah, that's roughly the number of attribute points Bell gained in a week before he started using cheats.]

Xia Jia silently recalled for a moment.

Before Bell obtained the Heart of Longing, all his abilities had not reached 100 points. However, judging from his monster-killing efficiency, he could probably only defeat about 50 goblins and earth spirits.

Her stats grow relatively slowly, so Xia Jia has decided to focus entirely on building up her harem! Yes, she'll become stronger through her harem!

Ah, I really envy Bell's dream. When he first got it, being hit by a goblin once would increase his durability by more than 70 points, which was terrifying.

All I can say is that I have embarrassed many time travelers.

After putting down the parchment, Shaka asked the goddess to wait a moment while he returned to his room to activate his magic.

This time, he needs to fix the hole that connects the world, which requires him to permanently consume ability points.

"The stars remain constant here."

As the golden light faded, the pinhole-sized hole became permanently fixed, and Shaka felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

Return to the shrine and recharge your abilities.

At this point, the ability stats are...

Strength: H22 Durability: I20 Dexterity: I20 Agility: I24 Magic: H100

Under Shaga's control, the total attributes decreased by 100 points, but the magic attribute was mainly preserved from being weakened.

"This way, I can save myself from the huge mana cost of crossing worlds and recruit more followers."

Having determined the cost of permanent summoning, Shaka nodded slightly.

Just as she was about to leave, Astraea called out to Shaga.

"Let's talk about the Minotaur..." the goddess hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have a bad feeling..."

Chapter 23 Undercurrent

In the shrine chamber, Astraea said gravely, "I suspect the monster incident was man-made..."

Shaka's expression turned grave, his pupils contracted: Was it man-made?

Astrea took out the magic stone that Shaga had previously seized and analyzed, "After reproduction, most of the ground monsters have degenerated, so the probability of a suddenly enhanced species appearing is very small."

"Boss-level monsters possess the ability to command lower-level monsters. Once discovered, they will usually issue a quest to subdue them immediately."

“I know that,” Xia Jia nodded…

Those goblins were already using simple tactics, such as setting up encirclements and making good use of their existing weapons. When they couldn't defeat them, they called on their leader, which almost caused them a great deal of trouble.

and……

The appearance of enhanced species near the village is indeed too dangerous. It means there might be a massive monster horde nearby.

Think of this.

Xia Jia, with a solemn expression, placed a palm-sized purple magic stone on the table:

"This is a magic stone. Do you see if there's a problem?"

Astrea picked up the magic stone, examined it carefully against the magic stone lamp, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did you see?"

"No," Astraea said reassuredly. "We've ruled out the possibility of modifying the monster for now. We can only conclude that someone fed the monster a large number of magic stones."

Feed?

Xia Jia seemed thoughtful: "So..."

"The fact that the mastermind behind this can't even control the monsters they cultivate tells me..."

"The opponent is weak!"

He stroked his chin and continued his analysis: "If it were me, to create a powerful monster, I would definitely lock it in a cage and then proceed slowly. How could I let it roam freely?"

"The reason why the monsters went out of control is either that the person behind the scenes couldn't even capture the most basic monsters, or that the enhanced monsters went out of control and completely broke free from the control of the dark forces."

"Regardless of the reason, it tells us that the power and influence of the conspiracy are not strong."

Based on her years of experience fighting against the Dark Clique, Astraea draws the following conclusion:

"In any case, we can't just leave it alone. If they have follow-up plans, things might get complicated. We should find out what's going on as soon as possible."

Shaga wrinkled his nose:

"That's true, but if we want to investigate this, we need to know their purpose. Is it just to create panic? No matter how much the monsters on the ground are strengthened, their equipment's maximum level is only 3. Sending a random request to Orario would be a waste of time, wouldn't it?"

Astraea sighed: "I'm probably their target."

"Lady Leah?"

Xia Jia was initially startled, but then understood...

As a frontline fighter against the Dark Faction, Astraea enjoys popularity among the gods but is also deeply hated by them.

Although the Dark Faction has been defeated, most of its remnants and accomplices are still active outside of Orario. Although these people are mostly a mob without a leader, their large numbers and integration into the community make them impossible to manage.

Just like the Heaven and Earth Society, which was always thinking about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
