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

Shaka smiled, led Ryu through the gate, waved goodbye to Astrea on the other side, the gate closed, and the coordinates were scrambled.

"Ah, it's over!"

He stretched and was thinking of taking a couple of days off when the door behind him was suddenly kicked open with a bang.

"Whoa! What's going on?! What's going on?! Why can't I find any trace of this door these past few days?!"

Eruma, wagging her big tail and drooling, opened the door and looked around.

"Where's Shihua? Call Shihua out here! I haven't had her cooking for ten days!"

Elma acted as if she were experiencing withdrawal symptoms, throwing a tantrum.

"How desperate are you...?" Xia Jia thought to herself, "She's not here!"

"Take me there! Huh?" Suddenly, she saw her goddess smiling at her from the side...

"Gods? How could there be gods here?"

Astraea smiled and said, "Oh my, what a rare guest! Natsu-chan, won't you introduce me?"

Xia Jia shrugged: "As you can see, it's just a pet that Shi Hua keeps..."

"What?!" Elma sat up, pressing her chest against Shaka's chest, and said, "What do you mean by 'pet'?!"

Xia Jia retorted without backing down: "It eats and drinks for free, doesn't work, and gets fed just by being cute. What else is that but a pet?"

Elma raised her head: "In my world, this is called a priestess! That's how I've always been."

Astraea covered her mouth and said, "Eh, does Natsu-chan see me as a pet too?"

The gods in the DanMachi world seem to be mostly lazy bums...

Shaka grinned mischievously: "Hmm~ it's not impossible~~, as for Lady Lia, I'll ask for pats, hugs, and being lifted up high every day~~."

"Yeah~~"

Astraea smiled gently, her hand resting on her face.

Ryu, however, interrupted Shaka's playful antics with a swift chop.

After a while, Shaka, unable to bear Elma's constant pestering, finally gave up her plan to rest and took her out to find food.

Shaka paused for a moment after pushing open the door to the Hall of Stardust.

A layer of silver flakes drifted down from the sky, and a cold wind blew by, carrying a slight chill.

"It's snowing? Winter has arrived..."

Thinking about how I traveled here in late autumn, and now it's suddenly winter, after the New Year, there will be less than two years left until the beginning of the story.

"Time flies... The time in the everyday world is so chaotic that I'm starting to lose track of the years."

Elma kept pushing Shaka from behind, urging, "Let's go! Hurry up~~"

"Okay~"

Shaga smiled and glanced at the dragon and the useless elf.

"I feel pretty good right now..."

……

5:30 PM. Black Crow Tavern.

After preparing breakfast and a bento for Rikka, Toka, as usual, logged into the game using her device.

She needed to urge Liuhua to finish her online classes and also prepare today's ingredients.

While Xia Jia was using the Anywhere Door, Touka rarely opened her shop or did business anymore. She spent most of her time supervising Rikka's studies.

The child has recently become a bit addicted to games, and his grades have dropped.

One thing is true: there are many students in the clan who are excellent in both character and academics. With just one or two desserts, they can tutor Rikka for a whole day!

The Ten Flowers Restaurant operates on holidays, usually as a special event.

Today is such a day—Christmas.

Yes, it's Christmas in the DanMachi world. In the everyday world, it would be Valentine's Day...

Yes, the kind of Valentine's Day that you can celebrate hundreds of times a year!

Normally, this kind of life would probably keep me incredibly busy, but after connecting to another world, my income is guaranteed, and I can even find time to teach Rikka a lesson, which is perfect.

Shihua bought the ingredients, tied on her apron, and started the fire!

As always, he worked diligently.

jingle——

"Ten-Hana!!!!! I miss you so much!!!"

The kitchen door was violently pushed open! Eruma pounced and grabbed Touka's slender waist.

"Boom!"

Shika skillfully slammed her frying pan onto Elma's head, coldly saying:

"Didn't I tell you not to go into the kitchen?!"

"But did I miss you? Ten days! Do you know how I spent those ten days?" Elma said, drooling as she looked up.

I think you're just craving my cooking!

"Hurry! Hurry! I want the red sauce fruit pudding from last time!"

Xia Jia and Liu sat in the restaurant and raised their hands, saying, "Ah, bring me some dessert too... Hmm, strawberry hot spring buns, or matcha mochi, either is fine!"

"Get in line!" Shihua, hands on her hips, kicked the gluttonous dragon girl out.

The kitchen returned to calm.

……

Xia Jia sat quietly, waiting for the food to be served, her hands clicking rapidly on her phone.

Having disappeared for nearly 10 days, he needs to keep an eye on the situation of the younger players.

"Hmm... First, it was the monster-side players... What's with all they do is urge for the server to open. They're probably having withdrawal symptoms."

The forum was filled with the same thing:

Please, I can't wait to play "Familia Myth," I'm dying!

[I miss the girls I admired.]

I want a glorious evolution!!

After casually posting a notice stating that maintenance would be completed soon, Xia Jia turned his attention to matters concerning the desert.

"Hmm... So, Blank has already taken over the war? What?! Infiltrators? And they've chosen some of Aqua's most loyal followers?! What are you trying to do, Blank?! This is far more terrifying than any war!"

Shaga covered his eyes, unable to bear watching the battle unfolding in the desert any longer.

Nothing else seems to have happened.

The movie adaptation of "Demon Slayer" has already been released, starring Megumi, Hitomi Mishima, Mai Sakurajima, and some police officers in cameo roles.

They all use real law enforcement records of exorcising spirits and killing ghosts...

The response was quite positive; Nao Tomori even gave Shaka a share of the box office revenue...

"Wow, it seems like there's no cost... This is making money while lying down!!"

Ryu looked up at Shaka: "How's Yuuki doing lately?"

After confirming his feelings, Ryu is very concerned about Xia Jia's official girlfriend, and it seems that he is about to perform the classic "I'm sorry~ Yuuki!".

Xia Jia looked at the chat history and muttered:

"That child, lately he's probably obsessed with going to school, taking exams, and making friends."

Rather than calling Xia Jia her boyfriend, "old father" would be a more appropriate term. Although Yuki is already 14 years old, she has spent 6 of those years lying in a hospital bed, and is actually quite unfamiliar with the world.

As for things like love and marriage, they're probably just like Cinderella's magic—a fairy tale.

Xia Jia now seems to be sharing her daughter's updates with her mother, scrolling through her WeChat Moments and reading aloud:

"I passed the entrance exam and also met some really interesting classmates..."

"Yesterday, we went to Nitta's house together, but because Nitta accidentally broke a teapot that looked very expensive, he was kicked out of the house..."

"Then, we also attended a street band performance, I think it was called 'Backstreet Girls'? Nitta did some amazing magic tricks, she made the lead singer float! So cool! Everyone called her an angel!"

"Afterwards, we borrowed the venue and performed for a while, and unexpectedly made quite a bit of money..."

Nitta bought a new teapot and gave it to his father.

Xia Jia scrolled through the messages one by one...

"What kind of fantastical development is this...?"

Liu casually stirred her coffee with a spoon. "Really?"

Shaga didn't notice anything unusual about the elf and continued to look through the messages from the past two days.

Besides Dekomori and the others resuming the Astrea Familia's usual street patrols, they also adopted a high-ranking fairy spirit that had run away from the desert to find Mori Natsu a couple of days ago.
