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

She touched Xia Jia's face and said softly, "Dumb tape?"

Xia Jia smiled and shook his head: "It's just a loss of a little lifespan. As long as I level up fast enough, this loss is nothing."

Upon seeing the familiar goddess, Alexie and the others all knelt on one knee, bowed their heads, and said in unison:

"We're sorry, we've embarrassed Lady Astrea!"

To die so easily at the hands of a monster, leaving Leon to suffer alone. At that time, there was no doubt that both Ryu and Astraea were greatly shocked.

In terms of heartbreak, Astraea was no less heartbroken than Ryu, who was blinded by revenge at the time.

And now...

"Welcome home..."

The goddess opened her arms, trying to lighten the mood, and said, "Would you like to eat first, or take a bath first, or eat me first?"

The familiar words echoed in Alexie's ears once more. She stood up, opened her arms, and rushed forward:

"I want to take a bath with Lady Astrea!"

"Kora! Alexie, I've already said this is incredibly disrespectful to the goddess!"

Shaka watched the group laughing and joking again, then silently stepped aside. He knew that today belonged to the previous Astrea Familia.

……

That night, Shaka gathered all members of the Astrea Familia for a grand banquet. They celebrated the return of their predecessors and the bountiful harvest.

The table was covered with ingredients that Xia Jia had purchased from the world of Suqing. They were incredibly delicious and could slightly increase one's soul power after consumption.

The main dish, of course, was the leftover cabbage. It was served with a small amount of griffin meat and Suzaku's signature sparkling wine.

Alexandra hooked her arm around Shaka's neck, raised her wine glass, and laughed loudly:

"Commander, you're amazing! Your clan has grown to this size! Cheers!"

Shaka was somewhat reserved because of Alyssa's lack of boundaries. After exchanging a slap with her, he hid next to Ryu.

Only the useless elf can deal with these demons and monsters.

However, within the clan, only the older generation seemed happy. The younger players were mostly not so pleased…

The black cat even stared at Kaguya with a hint of hostility, looking indignant.

Kaguya simply smiled and refrained from unleashing her sharp tongue.

They knew the reason very well, because...

"Give it back... Give Natsumi-chan's sun-like hair back!"

In front of everyone, Shichimiya shouted out those words...

Chapter 362 Now, I am more than capable of being a great hero.

After he finished speaking, the joyful atmosphere in the room fell silent. What Shichimiya said was what many people who had a good impression of Xia Jia wanted to say, but did not say because of the atmosphere.

The only exception is the second-year students. They lack a sense of boundaries and are immersed in their own world, so they are unrestrained.

Originally, Xia Jia thought it would be Kuroneko or Dekomori who said this.

The former just stared at Kaguya with displeasure, while the latter seemed to know Shaka's character well, and therefore only appeared slightly depressed.

Only Shichimiya spoke his mind.

The younger players were unfamiliar with Alyssa and her friends, and knew very little about them. Although they had heard of their legendary deeds, it was mostly just a matter of watching behind-the-scenes CG footage. Shaga, on the other hand, was a companion they had known and grown up with.

Now that you know your friend sacrificed his life for a group of strangers... how can you be happy about that?

Especially Xia Jia's white hair, which was particularly jarring.

This caused Shichimiya, who knew perfectly well that she shouldn't say anything in a fit of anger in this situation, to finally snap and explode.

Sensing the oppressive atmosphere at the dinner table, Shichimiya lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry..."

After that, he hurriedly left his seat.

Xia Jia chased after him.

The others remained still, sitting quietly in their seats without saying a word.

Some people are relatively mature and know very well what they should do, so they choose to remain silent.

Some of these people were once the ones who were saved, like Yuki. If it weren't for Shaka, she would probably still be lying in a hospital bed. Therefore, there's no reason to say anything to Shaka, who sacrificed herself to save others.

Those who remain are the more rational ones.

The representative of this view is Makise Kurisu, who believes that as long as it is Shaka's own choice, then there is no problem.

Kaguya was one of those who had anticipated this situation. She patted Ryu on the shoulder and said:

"We're so sorry that the child had to make such a sacrifice for us, the souls of the dead. We'll find a way to make it up to everyone."

Liu bit her lip, silently got up and chased after him.

She bears some responsibility for the current situation. If she hadn't been so anxious, constantly pushing the child to become stronger, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

If we wait until he reaches level 7 or 10, will we not need to invest any more resources?

Kato Megumi clapped her hands silently, drawing everyone's attention, and said calmly:

"Hey, let's eat first. This food was specially prepared by Jia for everyone, so we can't let his good intentions go to waste. At the very least, he doesn't want everyone to be unhappy, right?"

Astraea added, "Today is a happy day. If you feel you owe Natsumi, you can make it up to her in the future. Everyone! Let's drink to the return of Alyssa and the others!"

Alexandra raised her glass, clinked it with each of the little players, and shouted:

Cheers! Cheers!

……

patio.

Shichimiya stood by the fountain, her back to Shaka.

Xia Jia scratched his head and said, "I was really shocked. I didn't expect it would be you, Zhiyin, who exposed this."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Xia Jia sat down by the fountain, sighed, and said, "It's better that it's out in the open. I never thought things would turn out this way. If I had known, I would have dyed my hair before I came back."

Qi Gong, hands on hips and frowning, said, "This isn't about dyeing your hair. Don't you understand where you went wrong?"

"Uh……."

Xia Jia chuckled awkwardly, "Haha... I'm sorry..."

Shichimiya raised a finger and stood on tiptoe to lecture her:

"You're always like this, always messing around since you were a kid. You did it when you jumped into the rapids to fish Menma out. You did it when Shoko was being bullied."

"Don't you know that every time you misbehave, everyone worries about you?"

Xia Jia scratched his face: "Haha, it seems pretty dangerous back then..."

"Haha, my foot!" Shichimiya tapped Shaka's forehead with his index finger, muttering to himself as he looked down:

"Worried, worried... at the same time, I was also captivated by that 'descending one' like the sun."

"What are you fascinated by?"

Shichimiya's voice was so soft that even LV7 Shaka couldn't hear it clearly.

"Hehehe, no way! Anyway, remember this: your life belongs to me, the strongest Demon Lord Magical Girl, the Archangel Shichimiya! Until I take your head, you'd better cherish it, you bastard!"

Shaga rolled his dead fish eyes: "Heh heh~, a mere demon king dares to try and take my head? I'll seal you away right now~~ Take this! Chains of Heaven!"

Shaka raised his hands and grabbed at Shichimiya.

Their fingers are intertwined, locked in a struggle.

Unable to withstand the attack, Shichigu turned and ran.

"Stop!"

"Hehehe~ No way! Little Jia, now with white hair, is no longer worthy of being a 'partner of justice.' Your attacks are ineffective against the Demon King!"

"Don't you think white hair is cool? Besides, if I can't be 'Shirou,' I can be 'Archer.' Watch me trace on!"

When Ryu arrived, what she saw was Natsuki playing around behind Shichimiya.

"That brat!"

Ryu cursed inwardly, crossed her arms, leaned her head against the doorframe, and gave a faint smile.

……

at the same time……

In the man-made maze.

Frini, leading a team of elites, is slowly exploring the labyrinth.

With Ishtar's help, the journey was relatively smooth, and apart from a few sneak attacks by dark factions, they did not encounter any special monster attacks.

Until they entered the 8th floor.
