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

"However, in doing so, the official website, forum, video account, and so on need to keep up and try not to leave any loopholes."

What a hassle.

By the way, could you please ask Kobayashi and Doma to take care of this? Aren't they programmers?

He acted on his idea immediately, offering an exorbitant price and earnestly asking the struggling programmers to work overtime.

Xiaolin: "Your company can make such an awesome game, but you don't have time to make an official website?"

Shaka: "Actually, there was no game at all. I was just accidentally summoned to another world."

Kobayashi: "New inspiration for your novel? Or just advertising? Want me to help you promote it?"

Xia Jia: "No, you'll know what I'm talking about when you find a dragon in the back mountain."

Xiaolin: "Haha, finding a dragon or something, you're hilarious."

Xia Jia: "Okay, actually, all the programmers are on our potato server. Three of them died from exhaustion yesterday. If you can help, I can reserve a ticket for you to travel to another world."

"I feel like you'll find it useful."

Kobayashi: "How pitiful... Fine, if my appearance can save a few of my colleagues from dying."

Shaga has completely given up. Let it be a game. When you yourselves realize something's not right, you'll naturally start to trust me.

To patch up the everyday world, Xia Jia is officially drawing lucky group members to receive a ticket to the world of anime.

Under Astraea's guidance, Shaga conducted a more rigorous screening of the candidates for the next test.

"Simply focusing on money or talent is too narrow-minded. I want to do something more meaningful..."

After sifting through the group chat, I still couldn't find anyone who matched my high-end goals.

"If only I could get in touch with Yuki, and also Kaori Miyazono. Next April, it seems like that's the year of the main storyline..."

Waaah, my April, I'm so heartbroken.

Suddenly, a message popped up from Kotoko Iwanaga.

"this……"

Xia Jia's expression was solemn; this was the only person he had found who was even remotely related to mystery.

"She's actually not bad either. Dealing with monsters all year round must require some fighting skills. It's just a pity that we didn't find the male protagonist who ate the mermaid's flesh. With immortality and a locked future, this kind of talent could easily make her a [Gluttony] Chardo in no time."

Xia Jia opened the window and was surprised to see a sentence from Iwanaga Kotoko.

I've discovered your secret.

"?" Xia Jia slowly typed out a question mark.

[Kotoko Iwanaga: "It's okay if you don't say anything, but you probably need to recruit some talent, right? Would you mind if I recommended a few?"]

[Shaga: "Are you being so kind?"]

Xia Jia became wary. If it was just an interest in games, it wouldn't be a problem, but this person had taken the initiative, and the target was mysterious.

This gave Xia Jia the feeling that she was being schemed against.

[Kotoko Iwanaga: "Of course, I also have a favor to ask of you. Well, it has nothing to do with the gods behind you; I simply want to ask a favor of the bestselling author 'The Descendant'."]

Gods? This person has guessed something.

Xia Jia's mind raced as her fingers flew across the keyboard.

[Shaga: What's the matter?]

[Kotoko Iwanaga: "Don't be so nervous. As fellow lucky ones favored by God, I think we should be honest with each other. Let me give you some advice first."]

[Kotoko Iwanaga: "Don't let ordinary people know too much about the mysterious."]

After Kotoko Iwanaga confirmed the identity of Priest Shaka, everything seemed to make sense. Even in the Sakura Empire, gods had to pre-select their followers.

Its name is, Kizuna. (ps: Noragami)

It is more efficient to cultivate reserves during one's lifetime than to seek out benevolent spirits after death, and these reserves will not leave midway.

[Shaka: "I'm just running a new game. Or, to tell you, I was accidentally summoned to another world as a hero, with the goal of slaying a dragon or something. Would you believe me?"]

Originally, as fellow members of the Mystic Side, Shaka was prepared to confront her first, but unexpectedly, she came to him herself.

Xia Jia hesitated, leaving room for interpretation in the text.

[Kotoko Iwanaga: "You don't have to force yourself to say. Even if you were being kept by some goddess right now, I wouldn't be surprised. Don't try to fool me with this kind of light novel setting, Mr. Descendant."]

[Shaga: "You don't believe me either?"]

It seems that the more someone understands the mysterious, the better they can explain the unknown in their own way. On the contrary, Dekomori now feels like he's truly in another world…

[Kotoko Iwanaga: "Your attitude is good right now, please maintain it publicly as well. I can't say too much inside information, but I'll give you a little hint: look at the recent news about the Slit-Mouthed Woman."]

……

Xia Jia stopped typing.

This guy was originally a very clever fellow. He was revered by the monsters as the "God of Wisdom," so he must have some skills.

Moreover, what she excels at is using fabricated reasons to explain the truth behind the monsters' mischief.

Its title is "Fictional Mystery"!

It's practically a walking encyclopedia of science.

Even Shinichi Kudo next door exclaimed that he was an expert.

Xia Jia readily opened the news and, sure enough, saw a report about the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

It seems that many people suspected of being the slit-mouthed woman's killer appeared, specifically asking her on the roadside if she was pretty, and no matter what she answered, her mouth would be cut open.

The news report also offered an explanation: the perpetrator was a copycat with mental health issues. However, the fact that Kotoko Iwanaga brought it up suggests that it's not as simple as the reports make it out to be.

Based on his somewhat hazy recollection of the plot of "In/Spectre," Xia Jia deduced that it was entirely a monster of imagination created by people through delusion and rumors.

Simply put, because so many people believed it, the urban legend has come true!

"I think I know why Kotoko Iwanaga contacted me."

To resolve this fabricated monster, we need to use more realistic stories to cover up the current rumors.

Perhaps, she was drawn to her status as a popular light novel author.

At this moment, another message popped up.

[Kotoko Iwanaga: "There's no need to hide anything from me. I have great respect for the gods."]

Xia Jia considered: If the other party has something to ask of me, then there is no malice. Perhaps they have some mysterious idea behind me, but that doesn't matter.

I'm telling you the truth, but you don't believe me and insist on checking...

All Xia Jia could say was: Whatever makes you happy.

Thinking of this...

[Shaga: "Alright, what's your plan?"]

Kotoko Iwanaga: "It was just out of kindness, plus I had readily available resources..."

Anyway...

Here's a rather interesting solution that requires state-of-the-art diving equipment.

I originally contacted Kayaba Akihiko, but they refused rudely, citing a shortage of equipment.

Thankfully, he refused... Xia Jia wiped the cold sweat from the other person's brow.

He was thinking that perhaps he could report it before the game officially launched...

[Kotoko Iwanaga: Perfect timing. Your equipment seems to have the same effect. The people I recommend to you are all patients, so this is a win-win situation for both of you.]

[Shaga: "It seems you do know quite a bit."]

[Kotoko Iwanaga: "Isn't it more efficient to make a child who is about to become a spirit into a divine artifact than a healthy child? That way, the gods behind you will be happy too. It's just an equal exchange."]

You've misunderstood me. I don't know anything about those rituals.

But it's a divine weapon... Isn't that the spirit weapon from the story of 'Noragami'?

Are there really so many gods in the real world?

……

Hong Kong North General Hospital.

Kotoko Iwanaga stared intently at a girl standing in front of her.

It was a gigantic, monstrous serpent covered in bone armor, with empty eyes. The serpent's tongue flicked in and out of its mouth, like a curse, coiling around the purple-haired girl.

This monster has a different name in every different story.

A ghost? A monster? A spirit? An evil spirit? A demon?

In short, that's the gist of it.

And at this time...

"Please, God, I'm fine as long as you're alright..." The girl stared at the emaciated girl in the intensive care unit and kept praying.
