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

"Could it be that you're really just greedy? You're willing to give up freedom that's within your grasp? How could a cat be so stupid?"

Upon hearing this, Mame-no-suke immediately became displeased and blurted out:

"Meow! I am the fourth calamity beast under the command of the Lord of the Abyss, Lord Meow Meow. How could I be so easily defeated by dried fish, braised meat, and fried potato balls! Don't you dare slander me!"

stare--

The air was quiet.

Chapter 43 Update: Subspecies Black Dragon

All eyes were on Mame-no-suke; the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Russian qing.

Cecil's mouth dropped open: "Did that cat just talk?!"

Lulune: "Right? She really spoke up."

"Heh, how could a cat possibly talk? I must not be fully awake." Cecil turned and walked away, seemingly wanting to go back to sleep.

Astraea smiled.

"Hey. Come back." Shagara turned to Cecil, pointed at Mame-no-Suke in front of him, and asked, "So, what do we do with this guy now?"

Lulune stroked her chin, bent down and looked at Mame-no-suke, who was huddled up in a ball, pretending he didn't exist.

"Is this guy really the ferocious demon beast that killed more than ten people in one night, given how cowardly and gluttonous he is?"

Shaka was also troubled. He poked Mame no Suke's butt and asked, "Quick, tell me the truth."

Mame-no-suke peeked out pitifully, tears streaming down his face: "What can I do? I'm desperate too."

"They tricked me with dried fish, and after catching the cat, they haven't fed it at all! Monsters need to eat too! It's been half a month, half a month since the cat has eaten!"

"The cat misses the honey, cloud fruit, and purple carrots from its hometown..."

A foodie forced to go on a hunger strike? What a human tragedy! And this guy went hungry for half a month without eating those corpses!

This is nothing like Warcraft.

After hearing this, Xia Jia felt quite sympathetic and couldn't help but say with pity:

"You make a good point. If anyone tries to stop me from eating, I'll fight them to the death."

Astraea stepped forward and delivered the verdict for the cat:

"Natsu-chan, I haven't told you yet, Ruri-chan has awakened magic, and this black cat is her familiar."

"Magic?" Shaga asked in astonishment.

Astraea pulled Shaka aside:

"That cat is too special. It is a War Shadow and seems to have eaten the remnants left by Behemoth in the dungeon."

"In addition, it had consumed a lot of magic stones, eventually transforming into a special monster similar to a materialized curse."

"But Ruri-chan's magic can perfectly counter and completely assimilate Beansuke."

Shaga was slightly surprised.

The experiences of this newborn heretic are truly bizarre.

"So, what does the goddess intend to do with Mame-no-suke?"

Astrea pondered for a moment and said, "Although there is no precedent for taking in magical beasts as members of a clan, I think we can start this."

“It killed someone,” Shaga questioned.

Although he knew the truth about the heretics, not every heretic was so kind, and given the cat's past record, Shaka was worried.

"Justice is not just about killing. It is also my duty to persuade evil to turn to the right path. Furthermore, according to Mame-no-suke, it is itself a victim, while those mercenaries are the perpetrators."

"So, I guess it's an exception to the law."

After listening to the goddess's explanation, Xia Jia pondered for a moment and said:

"Since Lady Lia has made her decision, I will not object. In the end, it was also my wish to increase the black cat's ability to protect itself."

The main problem is that the cat is too stupid. Shaka thinks he would be willing to bring some catnip from the everyday world and let that stupid cat die.

After welcoming the Beanstalker.

After a quick dinner, Shaka followed the goddess to the shrine.

Practice makes perfect, and Xia Jia took off her clothes and lay down on the bed.

Come, favor me.

As the goddess's blood-stained jade fingers slid across her cervical spine, sacred incantations appeared behind her.

Capability update.

Shaga lv1

Strength: I22→H150 Endurance: I20→H130 Dexterity: I20→I77 Agility: I24→I89 Magic: H100→G207

Magic: [Descendant]

Skills: [Mysterious Aspiration], [Wings of Justice]

Shaga took the parchment and examined it; it showed a total of 467 points of ability growth, more than four times the previous amount.

This included killing a level 1 Burgher Bear, a level 2 Venomous Cat Demon, and a level 3 Giant Minotaur.

Each of these battles was of epic scale, and given that initial ability growth was relatively easy, they displayed such astonishing growth potential.

"However, this is nothing compared to Bell. I risked my life to fight a one-on-one against a team two levels higher."

Well, fate did help in the end, and she must have gained quite a bit too.

At least I've got the high-quality experience points needed to level up. As long as I follow the steps and kill monsters to accumulate attributes, I should be able to level up smoothly.

Shaga burned the parchment, his expression utterly calm. The overall attribute boost meant Shaga could recruit more helpers, and the snowball effect would only grow larger.

After updating his abilities, Shaja did not rush to leave, but instead took out the black hide dropped by the giant bull.

"Lady Leah, I feel something is off about this incident."

The direction in which the final boss grew was incomprehensible to Shaga. The black monster—wasn't that the unique color of the God Assassin?

Why would it appear on a ground monster?

The crux of the problem lies in that fallen object...

The goddess took the hard skin and examined it carefully.

“This is…” Astraea frowned, her expression becoming anxious and uneasy.

"what happened?"

Astraea sighed deeply and said, "This is 'dragon skin'."

"A dragon?!" Shajia's eyes widened. "What dragon?"

"Black dragon."

Astraea said in a deep voice:

"Strictly speaking, it should be the scales of a subspecies of black dragon. It's a Minotaur, so how could it have the biological characteristics of a subspecies of black dragon?"

After absorbing this shocking news, Shaga added:

“That forest is also very strange. There are too many monsters, and that's just a small mountain.”

"Furthermore, there is a problem with the types of monsters. Based on experience, groups with leaders usually have the same types of monsters, but they clearly show a phenomenon of obeying leaders of different races."

At this point, Xia Jia suddenly realized something and looked at the "dragon skin": "That's right, a dragon. It's a dragon."

Xia Jiahuan suddenly realized, "If, and I mean if, all these monsters possess the bloodline of the 'Black Dragon,' then it makes sense that they are based on the 'Dragon Race' and form a hierarchical relationship based on bloodline concentration!"

Astraea added, "It's obvious that the situation has escalated."

"Recently, news has been coming from all over the world that villages and forests have been destroyed by monsters. I never thought that even a sword-making city would face this situation."

"What do you mean?" Xia Jia asked, puzzled.

Do you know about the world's three most mysterious places?

"Yes." Shaga nodded: "The dungeon, the Great Tree Sea, and Dragon Valley..."

Xia Jia fell silent.

Astraea said calmly:

"Dragon Valley, as the name suggests, is a valley where dragons dwell. Recently, more and more dragon species have been emerging from there, and the items they drop after they die—their corpses, flesh, and blood—are strengthening the monsters on the ground."

Shaga knew that the wolf of the Loki Familia, whose homeland was destroyed by monsters from Dragon Valley.

Shaga also knew that the true identity of those dragon-type monsters was actually the henchman of the one-eyed black dragon, the last commission sealed in the world of Dragon Valley.

Like Behemoth, monsters of the Black Dragon and Leviathan level possess the ability to split their bodies and summon clones.

They are generally powerful and possess some of the biological characteristics of their original form.

For example, Behemoth's cursed black wind.
