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

A hellish scene unfolded before the eyes of these fighting prostitutes: corpses, lava, and black earth.

With each step they took, they felt as if countless arms were gripping them from the ground.

The illusion became real only when they explored the heart of the labyrinth.

Countless skeletons crawled out of the ground, grabbing the ankles of the fighting prostitutes and tearing at their flesh with their teeth.

Frini cleaved the monsters in the ground with her great axe, roaring, "Get your act together! They're just skeletons, kill them!"

The battle begins.

Two hours later, they realized that the monsters seemed endless, impossible to kill completely. They tried to turn back, but the door they had entered through had vanished without a trace.

Before they could even figure out why.

A terrifying aura revived in the crimson underground.

With a buzzing vibration, a black dragon with six wings hatched from the soil, opened its foul-smelling maw, and let out a terrifying roar.

Frini couldn't help but take a step back: "What, what is this?"

As Ishtar's confidante, she was naturally aware of the connection between her own god and the dark faction, which is why she was the most composed of them all.

The others were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and ran away.

Such a powerful monster had never appeared even during the most powerful period of the Dark Faction.

Frini, holding her battle axe, sneered, "Get back now. You must have received your master's orders. Why aren't you letting us through?"

The dragon did not react; its head drooped, and its scarlet vertical pupils stared at Frini.

"Are you attracted by my good looks? Sorry, I have no interest in monsters..."

Frini struck poses, lost in her own fantasies.

But the black dragon remained unmoved, and at a certain moment it suddenly opened its huge mouth and bit down on Frini's upper body.

Before Frini could react, she was thrown high into the air, caught, and her sharp teeth embedded themselves in her flesh. Her body was instantly cut into countless pieces and swallowed whole.

……

The tenth floor,

Shadow placed one hand on the black carapace, a gem on his wrist gleaming with an eerie light.

He withdrew his hand, the shell opened, and Dionysus hung upside down inside the crystal with his eyes closed, clearly unconscious.

Looking at the blood-stained battle axe on the surveillance screen, Shadow murmured:

"Not run away? Hmph, fool."

Chapter 363 What's this about the black dragon you mentioned?

The next day, early in the morning.

Shaka pried the black cat and Dekomori, who were like octopuses locking him up, off his body.

"Really, when did you get in here..."

Xia Jia rubbed her white hair, which was tied into countless small braids, and couldn't help but complain...

They sneaked into Xia Jia's room before dawn. School in Sakura Province ends early, and if they don't participate in club activities, they can get home and log into the game by four o'clock.

Perhaps because her condition was weakened by the magic crystal, Xia Jia slept soundly at night and did not notice the two's little actions at all.

In front of the mirror, Xia Jia took out scissors and simply cut off the braids that were impossible to untangle. Her originally long bangs were also turned into a head of short, choppy hair.

Shaka lifted her hair and saw a small tuft of red hair growing out from under her white hair, indicating that the white hair's limited time wouldn't be too long.

"Tsk, isn't this starting to look more and more like Red A?"

Xia Jia snapped her fingers and, following her memory, transformed her clothes into Red A's attire...

He turned his head left and right: "Hmm, if the eyes were also gold, that would be perfect."

He yawned and covered the black cat and Dekomori with blankets. It was obvious that the two of them were worried about his condition and had come to check on him early in the morning.

She's fast asleep now.

It's worth mentioning that you can sleep even in a spirit state, similar to deep sleep. If the DanMachi world is considered a shallow dream, then sleeping here is a deep dream.

Just one or two hours of sleep is enough to make you energetic the next day, and you can run 20 kilometers straight without any problem.

I brushed my teeth and went downstairs.

The older generation had already gathered at the dining table; the urban environment they lived in at the time did not allow them the luxury of sleeping in.

Maru, the human's 'eldest' sister, was busy in the kitchen, while Iska and Celty brought food to the table.

Kaguya brandished her katana in the courtyard, searching for the feel of her former skills, while Arisaka...

"Ryu~ Your outfit is so pretty, let me touch it!"

"Yamero! Alexie! You are already senior figures, don't do things that are so disrespectful."

Alisha hugged Ryu's waist and rested her head on Ryu's shoulder, saying:

"Hey, but I really like it! As the strongest beautiful girl in the city, how can I not have my own unique battle suit!"

Liu blushed and said, "This was made for me by the troupe leader, it's not suitable for you."

"Hey, please get me one too. Please!" Alexie pestered Ryu, "I'm only 18 years old and only level 4. Compared to Leon, I'm a junior. Please, Ryu-senpai, promise me!"

"Senpai-senpai-whatever!! Alexie, stop teasing me!"

During the conversation...

"Good morning," Xia Jia greeted, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

Astraea, who was beside her, handed her breakfast.

Xia Jia looked terrified: "Tsk, when did I become so honored to have the goddess personally serve me food?"

Astraea, holding her plate, tilted her head and said, "Natsu-chan, don't underestimate yourself. Letting you join the Familia was the best decision I've made in all these years."

Xia Jia enjoyed breakfast in a cheerful atmosphere, and the young players gradually logged on.

Today, Ryu didn't urge Shaka to train as usual, and the young players each had their own new 'teachers'.

Tachibana Kanade learns how to treat injuries from Maru, Haimu finds Iska as her new makeup teacher, and even Dekomori has the dwarf Aste to teach her how to use a warhammer...

Yuuta and Rikka also have Leana and Celty, who, as orthodox mages, are more than capable of teaching them some basic skills.

Unlike naturally gifted players like Ryu and Alfia, for whom teaching is basically equivalent to getting beaten up, these experienced veterans are clearly more suitable for teaching newcomers.

"They even teach you how to do makeup, which I didn't expect."

Shaka grumbled as the Amazonian outcast, the problem child who believed beauty was justice, flashed Shaka his bright white teeth.

I wasn't complimenting you, okay?

Following Iska's suggestion, Haimeng changed into a set of Fiora's usual equipment...

"Awaken!" Hai Meng raised her sword and shouted, and a gust of wind actually burst out from her body.

"This actually works?" Xia Jia almost widened his eyes in disbelief.

Yes, that's cosplay.

Xia Jia leaned closer, pulled out a blank card, and said, "Come on, little Mengmeng~, lend me your magic..."

Hai Meng played with her hair and said shyly, "Oh, how annoying~, if the leader gives me a DSLR camera, I might consider it."

Iska pouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, focus! You're not acting like a Fiora at all, the wind's about to disappear!"

……

Alexie and the others were happy to be career mentors to the young players, but the focus was still on Ryu.

The skill 【Inheritance of Justice】can permanently increase the basic abilities of clan members.

This means that Alicia and the others can also steadily grow through daily training with Ryu.

Alise, who was already close to level 4 and whose overall stats were close to A-rank, would reach S-rank in just a few days and would need a major upgrade.

At that time, the upper echelon of the Astrea Familia will gain at least three more level 5 fighters...

"However, finding a suitable target for this great undertaking is a bit difficult. How about we find a fallen fairy to work with?"

Xia Jia has some insights into the needs of a great undertaking:

Challenge the floor master of the next higher floor in a one-on-one battle, or participate in a team battle between floor masters two levels higher, and win.

For level 4 players who want to level up, they need to find a level 6 monster to fight, and the Fallen Fairy is a good choice.

As for... sending them to farm Zagnat again, Shaga felt that was a bit too inhumane.

After glancing at the steadily developing members of the clan, Shaka pushed open the door and went out alone.

He needed to go to the tavern and the everyday world to deal with the cabbages, and while he was at it, visit Demeter and ask her to grow some crops unique to the Sublime World.

As she walked along the road, Shaga overheard some rumors from passing adventurers:

"The Ishtar Familia emerged from the dungeon yesterday. It's said that 40 high-ranking adventurers went in, but only 20 came out. Even that man-killer was lost forever inside."

Xia Jia leaned closer and asked, "Isn't that a good thing?"
