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

"boy?"

Ryu's expression turned serious: "Impossible, I did not receive such a message from Lady Astrea."

"I mean, if they recruit boys, they will definitely tell me."

Rivera said disappointedly, "Really? That makes sense. In the past, the Astrea Familia only recruited girls."

Ryu's eyes blazed with anger: "Can you tell me where this person who impersonated the Justice Familia is right now? I can't tolerate this kind of guy who casually impersonates the Astraea Familia!"

Rivera pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "That's fine. It would be best if we knew their true family background, as that would also be helpful to us."

Ryu's expression was serious, and his body tensed as he awaited an answer.

"The Hestia Familia. That child should be with the Hestia Familia."

"Okay! Thank you!"

With that, Liu walked straight towards the tavern door.

next second...

thump.

"Compatriots?"

The useless elf landed face-first on the ground.

Rivera's indifferent expression was somewhat strange. There shouldn't be any threshold there, should there?

After a long while, Liu stood up shakily, wiped the crimson stain from the tip of his nose, and confirmed:

"Please, please say it again, the Hestia Familia is..."

"The clan to which Belle Crane belongs."

"Ugh~~" The useless elf swayed and almost lost his balance again.

Chapter 428 Someone's imitating my face?

Having accepted Riveria's request, Ryu first asked Mia's mother for leave, then changed into her usual battle clothes, picked up a katana, and went out.

The original wooden sword was damaged during the battle with Zagnat and could no longer be used.

She crossed the street and skillfully arrived at the outside of the Hearth Hall.

She stood nervously in front of the door, reaching out to press the doorbell, but her complicated feelings made her stop.

"That imposter seems to have bewitched Belle. If I act rashly, will it upset her?"

"Should we ask Belle's opinion first? Or should we try to convince Belle that the man is untrustworthy?"

But the most important question is, what if we can't convince Belle and then we get disliked?

Also, if I actually meet Belle, will I be able to speak to her smoothly?

She withdrew her finger and stood at the door, at a loss.

At that moment, a commotion suddenly came from inside the door. Like a startled bird, Liu darted away into a blind spot.

The shadows obscured her figure, but her eyes were sharp.

The manor gates opened, and Belle emerged with a blonde elf dressed in a black men's suit.

They chatted and laughed, with Belle mostly initiating the conversation, appearing quite ingratiating.

Liu, hiding in the corner, stared wide-eyed, her heart wavering.

"Blonde hair, elf, older man!"

Ryu recalled a time when Belle revealed her type of boy during training.

Although Liu regretted not being a boy at first, she was also secretly glad that, apart from the issue of gender, she was still the majority.

She gritted her teeth, and the next moment, she saw Belle actually take the initiative to hug the elf's wrist.

"Wh-what?!"

Her inner turmoil caused her to slightly reveal her true feelings.

Charlotte (Liu), who was with Belle, glanced back strangely. After not finding anyone odd, she turned her gaze back.

Ryu, standing with his back against the pillar, had an expression of disbelief on his face.

How come that guy has a face that looks exactly like mine?

And she's younger than me?

"Damn it! That despicable guy! He must have used some strange magic to deceive Belle! No! I can't let Belle be like this! I must expose that shameless guy's plot!"

A large swarm of black mist floated behind Liu, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stealthily followed the two.

……

on the street.

Belle clung to Charlotte's arm and said sweetly:

"Xia Lusang, why don't you talk to Mr. Xia Jia and ask your mother to come and stay here for a couple of days?"

"No, that won't do. She's still in a semi-heroic spirit state. What if she clashes with the soul of Metluth here?"

"Then let me go there and play for a couple of days!"

"This one……"

"Please~~" Belle said coquettishly, closing one eye.

"I'll ask Xia Jia later." Xia Lu (Liu) turned her head away, unable to stop the rabbit's attack.

The two chatted and laughed as they inquired about information in various streets, and took the opportunity to inform a few familiar clansmen of the news they had received.

[Damn it, let go of Belle!]

A resentful murmur came from the corner.

On the street, everyone who saw Xia Lu (Liu) and Belle together showed a surprised expression.

They were discussing whether White Rabbit had found a boyfriend or something...

“Miss Belle seems to be very popular,” Charlotte (Ryu) said, somewhat troubled.

"Well, there's nothing I can do. I think I'm the 7th most desirable girl to date in Orario. Although I don't really understand what that means."

Belle bent down and teased:

"Hey, Xia Lusan, if you don't like being the center of attention, why did you come out dressed as a man?"

Xia Lu (Liu) was immediately indignant:

“I don’t know either, but that guy said things like ‘As a Saber, you can’t protect your Master without wearing a suit!’ and ‘Protecting the princess is a knight’s mission.’”

"They just give me reasons I don't understand, telling me to wear this and that..."

Belle seemed to understand: "It must be the culture among the gods. Lady Hestia also often uses some words that are not easy to understand."

"For example... yuri, lace, lesbian, oranges, and so on."

Belle frowned: "Speaking of which, where exactly are we supposed to look for those 'church,' 'overseers,' and 'command spells' that Mr. Xia mentioned?"

Xia Lu (Liu) recalled that before leaving the house, Xia Jia said in a very serious tone:

"Young Master, if you wish to know the truth, take your Servant and seek the truth at the church. The Overseer will tell you all the answers."

"Perhaps on the road, you will meet your comrades who will fight alongside you."

"If you encounter danger, please summon me with the Command Spell in your hand."

……

She sighed: "He just wanted to say it."

"Really?" Belle asked, troubled.

"Let's stick to the plan and find the monsters hiding on the surface before the crisis fully erupts, and then eliminate them."

Xia Lu (Liu) interprets Xia Jia's words in her own way.

Belle, trusting Shaka at the outset, suggested:

"Let's go to the 'church' for our first stop."

In Orario, there aren't many places that can actually be called 'churches'. Most of them were built specifically by the first group of gods with special 'faith'.

However, as the number of deities increased and they lived alongside humans for many years, these types of buildings gradually disappeared into history.

If we're talking about the church building Belle is most familiar with, it's her old home.

The two of them instinctively moved here.

Belle deftly pushed aside the basement partition and jumped into the dimly lit warehouse. Some traces of Belle's past life still remained there.

Xia Lu (Liu) followed.

"So? Any discoveries?"

Belle shook her head: "It's a bit dark. Let me light a fire and see."
