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

The two returned to the Hall of Stardust, where Miu and McQueen also woke up, but they had extensive fractures and would need a lot of time to recover.

Their current condition is not suitable for movement, so Xia Jia asked Nazha and Mihe to come and take care of the patients.

During this time, the goddess Thea also came to visit and, following Shaka's advice, temporarily stayed at the Astrea Familia's manor.

Shaga prepared a small hut for them, where they awaited the guild's results.

Three days passed quickly.

During this time, Astraea attended a divine gathering and unexpectedly learned that Kazuma had acquired his own title: "Demon Cheater".

According to Astraea's description, this title is both childish and enigmatic, yet it perfectly encapsulates Kazuma's characteristics. It's a shame, Shaka thought Kazuma would get the title of "Fastest Man."

After receiving the title, Apollo immediately announced that because Aqua had insulted the children of her clan, he would wage war against Aqua's clan.

Since Aqua is not present, the war game will be played by Demeter in seven days.

Such absurd actions earned Apollo the scorn of the gods, but everyone still enthusiastically prepared for the war game.

Shaka didn't care at all. A mere Apollo was probably just there to give him money.

Seven days later, it should be the Cabbage Harvest Festival in Axel, and Kazuma's abilities will surge again.

not to mention……

"The Demeter Familia still has many hidden fighting forces."

The controversy surrounding the war games continued to spread widely after the God's meeting ended.

Taking advantage of this buzz, the guild announced its investigation request into the Ishtar Familia.

Many smaller clans oppressed by the Ishtar Familia also united to prepare for resistance against Ishtar's oppression.

Just as Xia Jia had thought, the guild's accusations were like insect bites, causing no pain or itch.

Royman ultimately investigated the matter on the grounds of "falsely reporting the level of favor," and suffered a silent loss. However, there were witnesses regarding Emma's matter, and Royman took the opportunity to bring up the Astrea Familia, so Ishtar had no choice but to compromise and admit to the incident.

Ultimately, Ishtar accepted the mandatory quest: "Explore the man-made maze and obtain a map of at least 5 floors above and below, for a total of 10 floors."

After obtaining this information, Shaga sneered:

"The reason she confessed is probably because she thought the man-made maze was already her home. Even if they cooperated, it would be unreasonable for some people not to die in a maze where even Finn almost perished."

Shaga was somewhat looking forward to what kind of clash would occur between Ishtar and the artificial labyrinth—whether it would be a mere show of reconciliation or a real fight.

Put away the intelligence.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and Yamato and Emma walked in at the same time.

With a look of delight, Ming said, "Lord Xiajia, we've found Chun Ji's whereabouts. What should we do next?"

Emma said, "I've come to say goodbye and to thank you for taking care of us these past few days."

Shaga glanced at the two women, then crossed his legs: "In that case, why don't you two from the same clan act together?"

"I'm sure you'll cause trouble for Ishtar, and Emma... Ishtar suffered a loss in silence, so she probably won't let you off the hook either."

"So, why don't you join forces?"

Shaka's suggestion stunned both women: "Our clans unite?"

Xia Jia nodded: "There are some things that are not convenient for a righteous clan to do. But it's different for you. You and Haruhime are childhood friends, so it's not too much for you to do anything for her."

Ming bit her lip: "Just us?"

Xia Jia smiled and said, "Of course, I will assist you from behind and provide you with new combat power."

Xia Jia clapped her hands, and a white-haired, red-eyed girl walked out of the room.

"This child insisted on helping Chunji no matter what, and I couldn't dissuade her. Consider it a good deal for you."

Belle scratched her head and grinned sheepishly, "Nice to meet you, Ming-chan."

His eyes reddened, and he bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you so much!"

……

Watching Belle and the two women leave, Shaka asked the people around the corner:

"How are the training results?"

Alfia, who had possessed the body of the child, slowly stepped out, her gaze stern, and said, "Of course I won't be merciful, but... thank you this time."

Xia Jia smiled and said, "Did you get what I asked Belle for?"

Alfia nodded and took out a test tube of blood from behind her back.

Shaga took the test tube and looked at the extremely nervous Alfia, asking, "Have you thought it through? Do you want her to be permanently spiritualized, or do you just want to see her once?"

“You should know very well that your illness is a mark etched into your souls. As long as you are reborn as ‘Alfia,’ this disease will relentlessly haunt you.”

Alfia pondered for a long time, then said softly, "I want to hear what 'she' has to say."

……

The two arrived at the abandoned church on the northwest main street of Orario and inscribed the prepared magic circle base. As Shaka sprinkled the blood from the test tube, starlight rose.

Under Alfia's tense and excited gaze, Shaja chanted the magic:

[...A constellation of stars has gathered here!]

Chapter 341 Metluja

As starlight rose, the gates to the heavens opened, and golden light shot into the sky, only to be blocked by the rooftops, scattering a shower of shimmering light.

A white-haired girl stood quietly in the center of the magic circle. She slowly opened her eyes, revealing heterochromatic pupils similar to Alphia's.

“Metluth…”

Jianzi took two steps forward, trying to reach out and grab the girl, but she dodged him.

"Who...who are you people...? Aren't I already dead?"

Seeing Metluth shrinking back in fear, 'Kimiko' calmed himself slightly and said in a composed tone:

“Metlujah, it’s me… When you were little, you said you wanted to ride a Minotaur, and I even caught one for you. And Hera ate your sweets, so I got revenge for you…”

"Sister, older sister? Cough cough cough..."

Metluja saw Alfia's qualities in Miko, and after hearing Miko's secret known only to the two of them, she no longer doubted it.

Overwhelmed by her emotions, she coughed up a pool of golden spiritual particles, looking somewhat pained.

Alfia hugged Metluja tightly, frowning as she looked at Shaka: "Is there really no other way?"

Shaga shrugged: "Her 'sickness' is already etched into her spirit origin."

"However, I heard that on an island outside Orario, there is a chrysanthemum that can cure all diseases. I wonder if it would be useful for your illness."

Shaka remembers that in the bonus content of the island arc, the entire main group turned into idiots who could only stick sea cucumbers in order to get that chrysanthemum.

As for the so-called "cure-all chrysanthemum," it's impossible to determine whether it's an illusion or something else entirely.

Upon hearing the plant's name, Alfia's eyes widened: "The legend is true! Do you really know where to find that ingredient?"

Xia Jia shrugged: "I'm not particularly clear about things outside the city either. But it's worth trying to explore."

As she spoke, Xia Jia handed over a ring: "Wear this for now, consider it an emergency measure."

When Metluja saw the ring, she clenched her fist: "I... I'm a mother now, you can't do this..."

Shaka exclaimed inwardly, "Holy crap, I never expected you to be like this, Metlujah!"

He said irritably, "What are you talking about? This is a cursed item that blocks the sense of pain."

Metluth blushed for a moment before hesitantly taking the ring and putting it on her finger.

The next moment, the pain from her body completely disappeared, and she was able to stand up on her own.

only……

"Cough cough cough..."

Alfia looked at Metlucia, who was still coughing up spiritual particles from time to time, and asked worriedly:

"Hey kid, is she alright?"

Xia Jia gave a thumbs up: "It's okay, spirit particles are just magic. You'll get used to it after a while."

Alfia glanced at her sister with heartache and said nothing more.

Xia Jia tactfully walked outside the church, leaving the two of them alone.

A dozen minutes later, Jianzi came out with a regretful look on her face and said, "Time's up. It's all my fault. I couldn't let Miss Alfia and her sister spend more time together."

Metluth comforted her, "It's alright, Miko-chan. I'm already so happy to see my sister again, cough cough."

Xia Jia, hands on her hips, asked, "What was the result? Do you want to stay in this world before reincarnation, or return to the Celestial Realm?"

Metluth smiled expectantly: "Of course I'll stay in the mortal realm. I want to see my 'bell' again..."

Xia Jia wasn't surprised. He nodded and looked at the sky.
