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

"However, since we're going to talk about Haruhime in detail, let's find somewhere else where we can be alone."

The group moved to the dormitory on the second floor.

The group sat down and waited quietly for Belle to answer their questions.

Belle, of course, knew what Haruhime meant to the Takemikazuchi Familia. She straightforwardly explained how she befriended the Takemikazuchi Familia, how she was ordered to join the Familia because of the War Game, and how she was asked to rescue Haruhime.

Belle lowered her voice when she talked about level advancement.

Then, she recounted how Ishtar refused to release him... and how he was ultimately sent back to the divine realm by Freya's Familia.

This is a major headache for me.

If they are simply being trained as prostitutes, then the problem can be solved as long as they raise enough money.

The problem now is that Ishtar clearly wants to use Haruhime's magic for something. But can their small kin even contend with Ishtar's kin?

Ming subconsciously turned his gaze to Shaka. Over the past few months, the leader of the Astrea Familia had come to their aid several times during times of crisis.

He hoped that this time he could save Chun-hee like a hero.

Xia Jia glanced at Seele, who was sitting next to him, chin in hand, grinning foolishly.

Then he asked Liu:

"What should we do in this situation?"

Ryu remained silent for a moment, glancing at Belle, then at Sakura and the others, before speaking softly under everyone's gaze:

“If what you’re saying is true, we do have reasons to take action.”

Ming beamed with excitement as he looked at Xia Jia: "Then..."

"but……"

There's always a "but".

Liu gasped for breath, plunging her heart into despair once more.

"But... we can't find a reason to take action."

Shaga sighed:

"Yes, if Chunji is in the hands of human traffickers, or if she hasn't been marked with grace yet, then we can handle it."

"But now, it has escalated to the point of factional infighting."

"In the end, Haruhime is now a child of the Ishtar Familia. Whether it's sacrifice or abuse, it's their own family matter."

"At least for now, it seems that the Ishtar Familia has neither harmed the city's residents nor made a reasonable purchase of Haruhime. In a sense, they saved Haruhime."

Shaka shrugged: "Tell me, how could we, as a righteous clan, possibly provoke a clan that is also a lawful deity?"

"This……"

Seeing Ming's tightly furrowed brows, Xia Jia sighed.

As a transmigrator, how could he not know that Haruhime possessed a cheat-like advantage in the DanMachi world?

But for the reasons mentioned above, he cannot do it in the name of the Astrea Familia.

If he were a member of the Loki Familia, or any other family, then these concerns wouldn't apply. He could just rob them if necessary, and if all else failed, he could wipe out the Ishtar Familia without a second thought.

But now that I've joined the Astrea Familia, everything must follow the "logic of justice."

This is the price of enjoying prestige.

Shaga couldn't allow others to label him as someone who "coveted the good offspring of other clans and forcibly seized them."

Belle frowned: "Isn't there any other way? If all else fails, I... I'll help you! I'm level 4 now, a level higher than before, I'm sure I can find a way!"

Xia Jia rubbed his temples:

"Oh dear, Miss Rabbit, have you forgotten that your fairy mistress is still in a deep coma? And now you have the leisure to meddle in other people's business..."

“This…” Belle shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

Upon hearing this, Ming immediately knelt down and said:

"If you can rescue Haruhime, I am willing to join your clan and dedicate everything to you."

Xia Jia impatiently pulled Ming up, scratching his head as he said:

"They all keep offering such grand gestures, and I never said I wouldn't help them?"

His eyes lit up: "You mean?"

Shaga explained, "I only said that there's no reason right now. But that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future."

Shaka remembered reading about the Ishtar Familia in a novel during the gap before Bell's arrival in Orario.

The Ishtar Familia is incredibly arrogant and domineering. Perhaps it's because the Astrea Familia was destroyed, and no one can stop them.

They took advantage of Haruhime's ascension to bully many lower-ranking members. They reported them, and Ishtar was investigated by the guild multiple times, but all investigations ultimately came to nothing.

Over time, they used the excuse of leaking a lot of information about their clans to force the guild to condone their evil deeds.

Afterwards, all the gods of those minor clans will be returned by Ishtar.

Not only that, the actions of that "man killer" gradually moved in the direction of her title, and she really began to unscrupulously snatch the males she wanted and torture them to death.

After that, they cooperated with the dark faction, hoping to use Haruhime's abilities to defeat Freya.

so……

"To catch a thief, you need to catch him red-handed. We're police officers, we need evidence."

Shaga has been waiting! Waiting for the moment when Ishtar expands.

He reassured her, saying:

"Here's what we'll do. You all go and find out Chun Ji's location first. Then, when the time is right, we'll take action and wipe them out without you even having to tell us."

After receiving a verbal promise from Shaka, he ordered them to take their leave in a hurry and head to the entertainment district to find Chunji's whereabouts.

Shaga then turned to bring up Bell's matter again:

"Don't worry, I received intelligence before that there is a safe tunnel below the arena. It not only has a water source, but also does not hatch monsters. You will be safe inside for the time being."

"Based on your previous assessment of the injuries, it would be relatively safe for you to rest inside for at least 72 hours before continuing your journey."

The labyrinth challenge lasted two weeks. Belle and Ryu spent at least 10 days on the 37th floor, most of which was spent recovering from their injuries and finding their way.

Belle forced a smile and urged:

"I still want to go back as soon as possible."

Shaka did not object: "So, have you figured out how to persuade Ryu?"

Liu was suddenly called and turned around: Is there anything else for me?

Shaga pushed aside the mischievous, useless elf and said:

“You said it before, right? At that time, Ryu wanted you to abandon her and escape alone. She even attacked you with magic and blew up the only passage.”

Shaga said seriously:

"Have you figured out how to convince Ryu to leave the dungeon alive with you?"

Chapter 327 Liu: Xiao Jia is my hope (covers face)

"Ah...this..."

Belle stared in disbelief.

She had never even considered such a question. If she were in the maze right now, perhaps she could say something as passionate as, "I will never abandon Miss Ryu," or "Let's go back to the surface together."

But in a safe environment, her thoughts became significantly more complex and divergent.

When faced with multiple considerations, it's easy to overlook one aspect and fail to find the most correct answer.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears: "What, what should we do..."

Silly child...isn't he right in front of me?

Can't I just ask directly?

Xia Jia rolled her eyes, rubbed her rabbit head, and looked at Liu:

"Senior, if we accidentally fell into the deep layers and the situation became critical, what would you do?"

Liu took a bite of watermelon and said nonchalantly:

"I'll have you use magic to bring me back. Or you can kill some monsters along the way and come back."

Okay... the deeper layers don't seem to pose much of a threat to us.

Shaga changed the subject:

"If Lefia fell into the deep layers with you, and you were severely injured, moving slowly, mentally exhausted, and even pursued by Zagnat, why would you choose to abandon Lefia and stay behind to face everything?"

Liu rolled her eyes: "I'll use [ST] to notify you to come pick me up."

Xia Jia covered her face with her hand: "Senior, I was seriously asking for your opinion. I wasn't just trying to be clever."

Ryu put down the melon and replied earnestly, "I'm very serious too. I've always genuinely believed that you can handle everything!"
