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

The witch cultists removed their hoods, revealing themselves to be either pig-headed men, lizardmen, or even great knights riding earth dragons and flying dragon knights.

These followers of the Witch Cult looked at their faith with piety.

"Go," Pandora said, turning the key and giving the order to scout ahead.

The combination of jealousy and pretense opened a door that should never have existed in this world.

Inside the door was a pale halo of light; there was no black shadow rushing out as Pandora had imagined. Everything was as dreamlike and ethereal as the starry sky.

The witch cultists roared as they spurred their mounts, brandishing their weapons, and charged toward the other side of the door.

……

Cherry Blossom Prefecture. Akihabara.

A giant TV on the rooftop was playing the currently popular anime, "Killing Blade," on a loop, while a huge banner hung down next to it, advertising the "Winter Exhibition."

The streets were filled with young men and women dressed in various anime cosplay costumes, as well as many gentlemen lying on the ground holding cameras.

"Hooray!! We've arrived! Winter Comic!"

Miss Bagina, wearing her usual round glasses and carrying a military green backpack covered with posters, led the way, waving a small flag.

Yuuki hugged Asuna, her little head looking around: "There are so many people. And everyone looks like Haimeng."

The black cat followed closely behind, flashing a peace sign in front of it, and proudly declared, "They are all just mortals who come to pay homage to us."

"Hey, is Black Cat Sister cosplaying too?" Yuuki ran up and asked, "If I had known, I would have worn my usual adventure gear too, that would have made me the center of attention!"

"Idiot, this is everyday clothes. The prepared clothes are with Haimeng." The black cat turned its head away, refusing to look at Yuuki.

"Besides, we're not here for cosplay. I haven't given up on becoming a creator yet."

Bagina chuckled and chimed in, "Yes, I'm here to help out at Black Cat's booth."

"Is she a writer like Xiaoshi?" Asuna was very curious, as this was her first time participating in this type of women's event.

While the group was talking, they stopped outside the platform to wait.

A moment later, Shichimiya ran over with his arms outstretched like wings.

"Hehehe, where is the Night Demon Queen's stall? I can't wait to go and laugh at her."

Behind her, Tokusho climbed over a railing, holding a pitch-black magic book, and quickly passed through the crowd.

"Idiot, stop running!" Senxia roared, panting heavily as she pressed down on the railing.

"Hehehe. How could I possibly keep Lord Mori's teachings to myself? I want to share the 'Teaching of Love' with all believers at the grandest exhibition!"

Dekosho held the Dark Scripture aloft and proclaimed it loudly.

"If you dare do that, you're dead, you brat!" Mori Natsu's veins bulged as he quickly bypassed the railing and chased after Tokumori.

"Nee-ho." Tokumori quickly put away the book, his short legs almost leaving a blur, and he disappeared from Mori Natsu's sight in an instant.

"hateful."

She stood beside the crowd, looking helplessly at Tokishori, who was cheating by using his superior physical abilities.

Miss Bagina asked:

"Where is the Dark Flame Envoy?"

Mori Natsumi's lips twitched: "He was taken to Hai Meng's place by Rikka."

Upon hearing this, Bagina waved his small flag loudly, "Now everyone's here. As planned, we'll first help out at Black Cat's booth and browse the convention, then go see Hai Meng's cosplay. After that, we'll attend Miss Boqi's concert. Any objections?"

"Oh!" Yuki raised her arm high, beaming.

Small groups like theirs filled the streets of Akihabara, but they didn't notice that a huge metal gate was slowly appearing in the central square of Akihabara.

Chapter 560 The Gate of Akihabara

Convention and exhibition hall.

As in previous years, Eriri used her parents' stall to sell her doujinshi (fan-made comics).

Although the sudden death of her childhood sweetheart a while ago caused her to be depressed for a long time, several months have passed and the pain has long since healed.

In the end, they were just acquaintances I hadn't spoken to for years.

Whether Aki Tomoya is alive or dead seems to have little impact on her daily life.

In contrast, after participating in and witnessing the world's anomaly on that day, his otaku soul completely erupted, gradually developing a great interest in the inner workings of the world.

Although her father used his position as a diplomat to suppress the news of Aki Tomoya's death and forbade her to inquire about it.

but……

"That's a superpower, how could I not care?"

Therefore, Eriri's target became several classmates from the same school.

And just now, she unexpectedly spotted her target in the convention hall.

"A legendary person who does not exist."

Eriri hid behind a telephone pole, watching a girl wearing a beret who exuded an "idol" aura.

She recognized the girl from before, though she couldn't remember her name and she was practically a ghost at school, impossible to catch.

but now……

"Cool, you can't escape this time. Tell me the secret to your superpowers."

Eriri chuckled maliciously, sometimes pretending to be a passerby looking at the books on the stall, and sometimes hiding behind a telephone pole to observe secretly.

I followed them for a full hour.

No unusual behavior was found in the target.

"Damn it, what is she doing here?" Eriri glanced at the shops her target had passed by; the only thing they seemed to have in common was that they were all "Descendants" manga or novels.

"Could she be a fan of the Descendants?"

"But these days, people who still buy Naruto aren't exactly die-hard fans, are they?" Eriri was confused.

Suddenly, during her pursuit, she saw a sign outside a bookstore advertising a new issue of "Killing Blade," complete with an autographed copy.

"Wow, lucky me, I actually ran into it right away."

Eriri, her mind wandering, immediately ran into the store to complete her daily food stockpiling.

As she walked out of the store with the signed books in her arms, she suddenly froze.

She stood there, stunned.

"Oh no, this is terrible. What was I supposed to do? Oh right, I was supposed to be tracking the 'Ghost.'"

Eriri looked around, but the person she wanted to follow had already disappeared.

She rushed toward a corner, hoping the person hadn't gone far.

Completely oblivious to the fact that the flow of people around her seemed to be running against her, her eyes still filled with panic.

Rushing around the corner.

Eriri immediately looked to the other side of the street.

Suddenly, my ears were filled with endless screams, cries, calls for help, and wails, all of which suddenly exploded.

A huge shadow swept across the ground, and Eriri looked up to see its appearance clearly:

"dragon?"

The knight riding the dragon swooped down and thrust his spear at a female office worker.

Before Eriri could see what happened to the passersby, she was knocked away by a man rushing from the other side.

"Tch! Get in my way!"

The man ignored Eriri's fall and ran for his life.

On the other side of the street, more and more people were running towards this side.

"What happened?"

Eriri's mind went blank; all she could see was a scene of chaos and turmoil.

Yes, it was genuine chaos and turmoil.

A troop of fully armed cavalry thundered towards this direction.

Behind them, archers unleashed a rain of arrows towards the sky.

Tourists who couldn't escape in time were shot in the back or leg, clutching their wounds and wailing.

Ahead of the cavalry, a pig-man that had transformed into a rolling ball rapidly approached the lone group of people. Once it found its target, it would detach from its spherical shape, leap up with a dagger in hand, and fiercely attack its prey.

Just as it was about to strike, a gunshot rang out.

The police officer in charge of the street decisively drew his gun and fired.

The pig-man's body trembled and he collapsed to the ground.

Gunshots rang out one after another.
