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

"Dad, based on our analysis of the dark data, this should be a country called the Kingdom of Lugnica."

Yui floated over to Xia Jia's side, speaking in a boastful manner.

"We've arrived at our destination." Xia Jia breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually:

"How is Satella? Is she dead?"

"no."

"really……"

Xia Jia took a breath, stood up, and looked around.

The style here is somewhat different from what I imagined; in fact, it's more dilapidated.

"Dad didn't seem surprised at all."

Yui floated down to sit on Natsume's shoulder and asked curiously.

“Yes, Satella possesses the power of time, and her followers all have the ability to return after death. It’s impossible for the original body not to have it as well.”

"From what I understand, even the chosen one of this world couldn't possibly kill Satella."

"Well, to use Doraemon's words, her witch factor was preserved in the dark dimension. No matter how many times you kill her, she will easily be reborn, so the only option is to seal her away."

If I had to use a metaphor, it would be Kurumi Tokisaki.

In that shadow world, all of Satella's timelines converge into that space; however, killing the Satella of this dimension cannot kill her.

This brings us to the underlying worldview of this world.

Firstly, unlike the normal world, half of this world has been devoured by the [Witch of Envy].

From a scientific perspective, if the world were only half a sphere, it would have been over long ago.

However, the other world doesn't follow science. From a magical perspective, Shaka believes that the other half of the world bubble should be located within the shadow of the previous world.

There is no concept of time there, nor any awareness of space.

According to Yui's explanation.

It's like jumping halfway from a three-dimensional world to a four-dimensional world.

In the four-dimensional world, time in the three dimensions is like an elongated worm, and Satella can freely interfere with any part of the worm's body.

Either reset or change the branch.

Because of Subaru Natsuki's presence, the insect seems to be growing longer, and its head and tail are starting to connect.

It's important to know that the biggest bug in time is the grandmother paradox.

If a person travels back in time and kills their grandmother, then they will no longer exist, and therefore will be unable to kill their grandmother. This creates a vicious cycle.

on the contrary.

If Satella is after Subaru Natsuki, and thus summons him from another world, then Subaru Natsuki, who is not summoned, cannot affect "Satella," which creates a paradox.

But ironically, this paradox has been overturned in this world that is half three-dimensional and half four-dimensional.

The three-dimensional half that should have been moving forward indefinitely has inexplicably become a Möbius strip-like loop.

Satella, on the other hand, was like a listener to a story about "once upon a time, there was a mountain, and on the mountain was a temple."

Because of Subaru Natsuki's actions, Subaru Natsuki was summoned, and due to the time paradox, the time paradox automatically filled in the gaps, allowing Subaru Natsuki to return to the past and interfere with Satella's future.

Follow the basic logic of this cycle.

Each time Subaru Natsuki dies, a new timeline is added to this world. Eventually, these countless timelines converge within the other half of the world that has been swallowed up.

This is the disaster that Makise Kurisu has always warned about, the result of abusing the power of time.

Chapter 549 400 Years Ago. Me? Sword Saint? Astrea?

When Shaga tried to leave the alley and go out onto the street to observe the situation.

The sky suddenly darkened for a second.

As Xia Jia looked up, a divine dragon suddenly soared across the sky.

"Holy crap! A dragon? How could the Kingdom of Lugnica have dragons?"

Yui slapped Shaka with her little hand: "Stupid daddy, the Kingdom of Lugnica is the land of dragons."

"I'm not stupid. Wasn't the royal selection only started because the dragon and the heir to the throne both died?"

Xia Jia was completely confused.

But he quickly realized that he might not have emerged from the point when the main story began.

"What's going on?! They don't want me to interfere with Subaru Natsuki, so they're kicking me back to the past?"

Driven by doubt, Shaja activated his sixth sense, imbued himself with telekinesis, and flew away with the divine dragon.

The sixth sense of Shaka's inner universe can encompass most superpowers. With Yui's development and the support of data from various superpowered individuals in the everyday world, Shaka can already use a few common superpowers to some extent.

Telekinesis is one of the most convenient abilities among them.

Simply put, it can fly.

Where is it going?

Following the dragon, they left the Kingdom of Lugunica and entered a sandy area. Suddenly, a pitch-black barrier appeared before them.

"This feeling is similar to that shadow space..."

Shaga stopped in his tracks, seemingly realizing that he was 400 years ago, during the time when Satella ravaged the continent.

And now...

"Hey, human child. What brings you here?"

A deep dragon's roar echoed in Xia Jia's ears, accompanied by a language he could understand.

Xia Jia thought about it.

Considering the current situation, he said calmly:

"I have come to witness the end of the world."

The dragon lowered its head: "Is that so?"

After a moment's hesitation, the dragon raised its head, looking at Xia Jia with expectant eyes:

"Instead of waiting to die, why not lend us a hand? You seem to possess considerable strength!"

"help you?"

"Yes, come with me... I have a friend."

As the dragon spoke, it flapped its wings and continued flying forward.

Xia Jia didn't say anything, and followed the dragon for another several dozen kilometers.

On a wind-blown rock in the desert, it saw what it called its friend.

A bearded man with a ponytail, wooden clogs, and Far Eastern-style clothing. He gave the impression of a wandering knight.

"Natsuki? No, wait, that's not right? Great Sage? That's not his style."

Is "Satella" being sealed away now?

400 years ago?

But if that's the case, what about the Sword Saint?

Shaka looked at the dragon flying in the sky, then at the ronin grinning confidently at him, and then Shaka looked at himself.

Oh my god? The Sword Saint is actually myself?

“Young man, you haven’t introduced yourself yet. My name is Friguel. Ah, as you can see, I am a warrior.”

You're a samurai, and what am I?

Xia Jia was completely dumbfounded.

Before Shaka could say anything, Shenlong introduced himself.

“My name is Polkenica, and I am the King of Lugunica.”

Immediately, everyone's gaze fell on Shaka...

Shaka stammered, "Well, I... my name is Shaka, Shaka... is Astrea..."

While he was still hesitating, still unsure whether to replace the Sword Saint or the Sage...

"Huh? Red?" The samurai covered his ears with his hands, seemingly listening intently to something, then patted Shaka on the shoulder and laughed loudly:

"Oh, it's the Red Astrea brothers! Nice to meet you!"

"what?"

Xia Jia was still in a daze.

The samurai warmly put his arm around Shaka's shoulder and led him to the hot pot that had been set up nearby.

"Astraea, you're a time traveler too, aren't you? From Inazuma?"
