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

"If we're talking about destroying toys, it seems like you were the one who led people to dismantle someone else's big toy first. Right now, the guild leader is still racking his brains about how to seal off the maze and prevent the monsters underground from coming out of the man-made maze."

"That's the hideout of the dark faction. Now that they've become the bosses, it's time to close in."

Shiyu continued, "Then you've exposed his identity too, which means he'll have to quit the internet right now, won't it?"

Xia Jia turned his face to his abdomen and said in a low voice, "He got his cloak knocked off himself, so he was recognized even if he didn't say anything. So, which side are you on anyway?"

Shi Yu put down her pen: "I am the recorder. An absolutely impartial bystander. Also, do you know how much traffic this wave of eradicating the dark faction is? I want to dominate the market before those bards do. I feel like with this wave, I can break through to level 3!"

Shiyu's ability is to create knowledge; she gains an increase in ability value as more people recognize the 'unknown' she releases.

Shaka showed tolerance towards Shiyu, who was troubled about how to wage this war of power.

But that doesn't stop him from breathing in the fresh air of nature.

The Battle of the Man-Made Maze.

The combat power involved is almost a dozen level 7.

Not only Finn and his group, but also Alexie and her group really got into a fight. With multiple forces combined, their combat power was more than just level 6.

Therefore, the moment the battle broke out, a huge tremor had already spread underground in Orario.

At the moment the earthquake struck, even ordinary residents knew to flee the epicenter. In Daedalus Street above the man-made maze, the place was already deserted long before the God of the Machines launched his divine attack and was teleported out of the maze by Makise Kurisu.

Next came the return of the pillar of light by Shadow and Death. Although it was stopped midway, it still caused considerable damage.

Aincrad, located above Orario, was also significantly affected.

In a secluded labyrinthine area, a ten-meter-deep pit was exposed to the gods.

In addition, Shaka then had the Loki Familia send the wounded back and, at the same time, issue an evacuation warning, allowing the people on Aincrad to temporarily leave and seek refuge at the guild.

Then came the bizarre move of Shadow destroying the floating city.

"I suspect he's settling a personal score!"

Although in the current Aincrad, apart from the core that controls monster hatching being relatively important, everything else is just sand.

But it's also quite upsetting when a hard-earned sandcastle is knocked down by a naughty child.

Not to mention what's even more troublesome afterward...

dong dong dong...

"Excuse me, Mr. Shaga, Lord Finn requests your presence at the guild. We have a meeting regarding how to deal with 'Shadow,' and your attendance is required."

"Furthermore, the gods also need to invite Lady Astrea to the divine assembly. The decision regarding your titles and the trial of Thanatos require the goddess's presence."

A guard from the Ganesha clan stood before Shaga and explained the situation.

"Hey hey~~, I'll be right there."

Reluctantly leaving the fragrance of nature, Shaka, with an impatient expression, followed the guards out of the Stardust Mansion.

After navigating the festive streets and bypassing the collapsed Daedalus Street, Shaka and Ryu arrived at the Guild Hall.

Pushing open the door to the backstage meeting room, Xia Jia saw...

Finn, Ota, Tsubaki, Shakti, Asifi...

All the top adventurers in Orario were seated there.

"They've arrived." Finn sat in the main seat, surrounded by some of his clan's officers.

Ota, who had not participated in the battle, sat quietly to the side.

Shagati pulled out a chair for Liu, and after he sat down, Finn spoke calmly:

"Then, let's discuss our future countermeasures against 'Shadow'."

He paused and then said:

"Regarding the incident of 'Shadow' killing a god and usurping part of his divine status, my opinion is to skip it and leave it to the gods to discuss."

"Our purpose here is to decide how to define shadow in the future."

Shakti's expression turned grave: "Of course, we should capture him! And then punish him!"

Rivera closed her eyes, recalling her battle with Shadow, and retorted, "To be honest, we don't have the confidence to defeat him."

To put it bluntly, it's simply a matter of lacking the necessary strength.

Let's not even talk about Shakti.

Even with Finn at full power, the fight was only about 40/60. Although Finn had a slight advantage, it was still too difficult to kill a high-level adventurer at this level.

They're not stupid; if they can't beat someone, they can run away.

Ota said expressionlessly, "He's too dangerous. The Goddess's Garden cannot tolerate such a bomb."

Shakti suggested, "Perhaps we could try investigating his family and start with the favor itself?"

Finn paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Shaga: "Commander Shaga, what do you think?"

Chapter 539 Shadow: Wanted? Ha, who's wanted by whom?

What do I think? I'm not Yuanfang.

Although Finn didn't reveal that Shadow had exposed his identity, the appearance of Alisha and others on the battlefield meant that almost all the Familias involved in this battle had fought against the veterans to some extent.

It seems reasonable to seek "Gale's" opinion now.

In this meeting, Jifeng's connections should not be underestimated.

First, she was Seele's colleague, then Shakti's comrade-in-arms, and then Asif's best friend.

Right now, dealing with the Shadows is unavoidable, and the Astrea Familia is unavoidable. At the very least, if they encounter Alyssa and the others again, they must first seek the opinion of "Gale".

This is their respect for level 7.

Feeling the gazes cast upon me by those around me.

Shaga can only say what he knows:

"Actually, we had already taken action against them a few months ago."

He looked at Finn: "Remember when we discovered the man-made maze? I mentioned that we should be the main force, but you refused."

Finn scratched his face: "Back then, you weren't as strong as you are now."

Shaga nodded: "After that, we launched a series of investigations into the city's sinister side, starting with the '27th Floor of Nightmare' incident. We began with the sole survivor, the 'Deathbringer,' and eventually pinpointed Dionysus."

“A weirdo.” Xia Jia rubbed his hands together and continued:

"It is a resurrected being parasitized by a fallen fairy spirit in a magic stone. It can be confirmed that the original body should have perished in that disaster, but it has reappeared in front of us as a monster."

"Dionysus made a cooperation with the fallen fairies hidden deep in the labyrinth, which is why he came up with a series of plans."

At this point, Ota interjected, "During this expedition, we did encounter a similar entity on the 59th floor; it was very strong."

Shaga nodded and said, "We have already wiped out several strange people, including Olivas, and also destroyed their clones that cultivated several pillars of immortal essence. As a result, we have obtained some information."

"One of the Fallen Fairies' targets is none other than Miss 'Sword Maiden' over there."

"I wonder if Miss Sword Maiden knows the name Arya."

Ais's pupils contracted, and she bit her lip, hiding behind Riveria.

Seeing this, Finn temporarily interrupted Shaga: "We can discuss this issue privately after the meeting. But what does this have to do with Shadow?"

“Of course there is a connection.” Xia Jia sighed. “I suspect that Shadow was also corrupted by the Fallen Fairy Essence.”

"You may have noticed that Shadow is not the type to excel in combat. He also needs to run a potato ball stand to make money in order to cover the wear and tear on his equipment."

Finn's vision went black... Isn't that one of your clan's pillar industries?

The legendary profits from fried potato balls far exceed the daily income of an ordinary adventurer.

Before Shaka could continue speaking, Ryu grabbed Shaka's thigh with one hand, her eyes scanning him, the meaning clear:

You let it slip.

The expressions on everyone's faces were strange.

Shaga coughed lightly: "I'm sorry, Shadow was once a member of the Astrea Familia. As I just said, the Fallen Fairy gave him power, and the Goddess can no longer restrain him."

"By the way, before his defection was discovered, his main job was selling potato balls in various bustling streets."

It's him?

A simple and unadorned figure flashed through everyone's minds at the same time.

That was an honest kid. How did he go astray?

It must have been the fallen fairy who bewitched him! It's not a problem with the Astrea Familia.

Finn realized he had been daydreaming, coughed, and said:

"So, the Astrea Familia means..."

Xia Jia said, "We will be responsible for freeing our companions' souls from the hands of the fallen fairies. The first thing we need to do is to launch an expedition into the dungeons beyond the 60th floor."

"As for Shadow, we will issue an S-rank warrant. We absolutely cannot let the world suffer any longer!"

What do you mean by not letting the world feel pain? It's like you're the one suffering the most here.
