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

“Oh, he’s in cahoots with this guy.” Shaga scoffed, expertly pulling a bag of tea leaves from under the interrogation room table.

"I knew it was here too..."

Shakti looked at Shaga, who seemed to be coming home, and his forehead twitched:

"So, you're also a spy for the Dark Faction?"

Xia Jia brewed the tea, took a sip, and said, "Hey, don't talk nonsense. We are a legitimate righteous clan. If you don't believe me, I can show you our Crest of Favor!"

Shakti's lips turned down.

"That's not necessary; we have better candidates."

She knew, of course, that the people in front of her were not the faction spies that Liu had mentioned, but precisely because of this, she did not want to pry too much into her allies' intelligence.

She sighed and glanced at Liu: "I'm leaving this to you? Give me a satisfactory answer later."

Chapter 432 The Song from Underground

Only the three parties involved remained in the cramped interrogation room.

Xia Jia leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said:

"I think you probably already know something about this."

Liu glanced at Xia Lu: "She's me? Right?"

No matter how much Ryu argued, this was the only outcome. If appearances could deceive, then magic couldn't. And the skills she inherited from her clan members couldn't!

Moreover, she glanced at Xia Lu's flat chest, then looked down at her own toes...

'Damn it, even this damned thing is exactly the same!'

By this time, she already knew Xia Lu's true identity and felt ashamed of her previous remarks.

Making fun of yourself and stuff...

Shaka, not understanding Ryu's brainstorming, snapped his fingers and said:

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point."

His expression turned serious as he said:

“We came from a parallel world two and a half years ago. When we were in the Deep, Belle accidentally entered our world, so we followed the route she took to find our way here.”

“We are undoubtedly members of the Astrea Familia, and I will show you that later.”

As Shaka spoke, he placed a bottle on the table:

"This is an unlocking potion. Even if you can't read the sacred script, you should at least recognize the clan crest."

Liu nodded, took the medicine, and asked:

"What is your purpose here?"

Shaga shrugged: "We originally only thought of calling her Ryu... never mind, let's just call her Xia Lu. We came for Xia Lu's great achievement of reaching level 6! We just didn't expect to run into the time when Enio was planning to destroy Orario."

"Level 6?! And from two and a half years ago?"

This time, it was Ryu's turn to be surprised. She knew that her counterpart in that world seemed very strong, but she hadn't expected her to have reached this level.

"It seems that I have indeed fallen far behind in the past five years, so it is understandable that you can't stand me."

This time, Xia Lu actually showed a reassuring expression:

"I don't seem to have the right to criticize you... If it weren't for Shaga..."

Halfway through her sentence, Liu heard a familiar thumping sound, like the thumping in her heart every time someone mentioned Belle.

Saying that changing for love is shameful, aren't you the same?

Ryu's sarcastic spirit was burning brightly, and she glanced up at Shaka...

Hmm, she looks a lot like Alexandra, so she probably isn't a bad person.

A simple thought easily changed Ryu's mind.

Seeing that the two had reconciled, Xia Jia gave them some advice:

"The matter of parallel worlds is more complicated. Widespread exposure of the same identity may cause many related problems. Therefore, Xia Lu will be your twin sister to the outside world. Please remember this."

Liu asked curiously, "What kind of problem might occur?"

Shaga gave an example:

"For example, since your souls are essentially the same, if Xia Lu defeats the enemy and gains a Great Achievement upgrade, will your Great Achievement also be upgraded?"

"Of course, this is the best-case scenario. In the worst-case scenario, it could lead to your assimilation, and it's not impossible that one of you could disappear."

Aren't there similar urban legends?

There are people in the world who look exactly like you. When the two meet, one of them will devour the other.

Upon hearing this, Liu's expression turned serious: "I understand. I will explain it to Shakti."

Having agreed on their story, Shaka revealed his back, showing Ryu the crest of his 'Asteria Familia'.

The three of them had completely established trust.

After the conversation ended, the three found Shakti waiting outside.

Ryu gently shook his head at her and said:

"This is my younger sister, who was born to my mother after I left the forest. We had a falling out because of my sneaking away."

Although Shakti gave him a "you're kidding me" look, since he had already said so, we didn't pursue it any further.

The key is……

"this?"

Ryu paused for a moment and then introduced, "Mr. Shaka, the current leader of the Astrea Familia."

With Liu's guarantee, Shakti lowered his guard.

Asifi, seeing that the werewolf game had ended, came over and said:

"Regarding this artificial maze, I would like to ask you two for your help."

Shaga knew that as a top-tier combatant, Hermes or Finn would not allow such a combatant to remain absent from the battle.

So he did not refuse.

After Ryu relayed the message to Riveria...

Including Belle, everyone changed into the special combat suits prepared by Hermes. They began digging towards the first level of the man-made labyrinth from the vertical tunnel that Thanatos had created beneath Daedalus Street.

……

dusk.

The city trembled, and crimson light rose from the ground, followed by a chanting that sounded like a trigger being pulled...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"

A chaotic roar emanating from the fallen fairy spirits resounded, followed by a long, rapid chanting with indistinct details.

The song resounded in every corner of the city, and the carnivorous plants buried in the shallow underground of the city also broke through the soil.

"here we go!"

Finn looked at the adventurers from various clans gathered before him and gave a pre-battle pep talk.

Wealth and fame were not the main themes of this battle, nor were they related to atonement or judgment.

There is only one reason that forces adventurers to pay with their lives:

"We have only one goal! To teach that absurd, shitty god a lesson!"

Finn clenched his fist and shouted:

"Now, history is about to repeat itself! Not by relying on others, but by relying on our own hands! Just like the heroes who once resisted the destruction that threatened the world and protected humanity! — Its name is the Sacred Tale of the Labyrinth!"

The hero boldly declared that he would weave a "myth" once again.

"Operation commence! All troops, assault! The target is—the Demon Castle Knossos!!"

The adventurers roared and, guided by Ais's sword held high above her head, charged into the labyrinth filled with eerie darkness.

The vertical tunnel blasted by Thanatos led directly to the ninth level of the man-made labyrinth, where the army of adventurers entered the demon's lair using their own methods.

This path is the fastest route to the tenth level of the [Lord of the Lost] where the Fallen Immortal resides.

Following Finn's original plan, the group split into five teams, each with elite members of the Loki Familia mixed in.

Before the passage to the tenth floor, Riveria and Ais used magic and sword pressure to easily break through the green flesh's blockade, allowing the adventurers to rush in.

Upon entering the 10th floor, their first test was the giant magic circle that permeated the entire maze.

The patterns beneath our feet shimmered with light, a magic emanating from the immortals that could erupt anywhere in the maze.

In other words... [the labyrinth itself can activate magic!]

The artillery barrage fell like a barrage of bullets, an unending assault!

Finn gave an "I knew it" look:
