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

Xia Jia looked stunned. Was this the senior's affair being exposed?

"Hmph." Shakti snorted coldly.

He added in his mind: "The one who committed the crime wasn't your clan's elder; you're an accomplice, and you're also suspected of harboring a wanted criminal on the run. That kid, always causing trouble! Now look what's happened, if anything goes wrong later, we'll make your kid take the blame, let's see if you can sit still then!"

When Shaka saw the sinister 'hehehe' smile on Shakti's face, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Hey, Commander Shakti, you're not supposed to be that kind of person. Your character is dead."

"Shut up, be quiet."

"Oh."

Shaka remained silent. Since she acknowledged her identity as a member of the Astrea Familia, there would be no problem.

But why arrest yourself?

Xia Jia glanced resentfully at the older sister, muttering from time to time, "I'm innocent..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you know what you've done wrong?"

"do not know."

Shakti clapped his hands, and a guard carried in a huge metal box from outside the door.

She patted the box and said to Shaka, "Tell me, what is this? What is the purpose of bringing it to Orario?"

Shaga thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with a way to explain it:

"In the words of the gods... this is a limited-time event dungeon..."

“Speak like a human…” Shakti’s eyebrows twitched.

If I didn't know you were from the Astrea Familia, I would have killed you long ago...

Xia Jia readily agreed: "It's a virtual combat training environment customized by the school district, capable of simulating the spawning of monsters in dungeons."

"Oh? School district?" Shakti was somewhat surprised.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: a group of troubled children that had recently caused quite a stir in the city.

So, he squeezed out a question through gritted teeth: "You wouldn't happen to be connected to that kid who carries a big sledgehammer and wanders around the streets, would you?"

“Uh—” Xia Jia was speechless.

Without needing to explain further, he seemed to already know what the problem was.

Shaga said dejectedly, "I confess. Please punish me, but don't make things difficult for the children."

"well said!"

Shakti clapped his hands and said, "I'll take this to the school district for verification. As for you, you'll stay here for a few days and reflect on your actions!"

He slammed the door and left.

Hmph, both old and new grudges have been settled today!

As Shakti stepped out of the cell, the slight upturn of her lips gradually turned cold. She asked the guard in the other cell:

"How is it? Have they confessed?"

"Yes," the guard nodded and reported.

"There are a total of 5 remnants of the Rudra clan who escaped the attack when they were away. There are also 15 who have been involved in the supply transport of the Dark Faction in the past month."

Shakti nodded and continued, "What about Maize? He seems to be the caravan leader."

The guard glanced at the records and continued, "After investigation, it was found that the man had not participated in any transactions with the Dark Faction for five years. He had been doing ordinary business, but the caravan he was in had always been a mixed bag, providing those scum with an external identity."

"Five years, I see."

This is a very delicate number. Four years ago, it was the "seven days of death." How could this person have stopped all related businesses during that critical period?

At least they have some conscience...

A flash of murderous intent crossed Shakti's eyes, then he pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, release those who didn't participate, and send the rest to Bergen, the city of sinners."

"Yes, we have released them, but..."

"Just what..."

The guard said awkwardly, "Two merchants have been brought back. Apparently, they got into a fight with their neighbor, surnamed Wang, after returning home, and were eventually sent back..."

What the hell is that neighbor Wang?!

Shakti rubbed his temples in pain and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, don't bother me with this kind of thing again."

With that, he picked up the metal box and headed towards the school district's hotel in Oralley.

……

at night.

Inside the dark and damp cell, the door was opened.

Shaja looked up and met Shakti's displeased gaze.

"Come on, someone's here to bail you out."

"Who?"

Shaga was unlocked by the guards and then taken out of the cell.

Outside the Ganesha Familia, Leon and Minoru Kageno stood at the door, accompanied by Shakti and Dekomori, whom she was carrying like a chick.

At this moment, Dekomori was still shouting loudly:

"That's my way of punishing evil and upholding justice! Those scum who bully children must not be let go!"

Shakti, holding the Dekomori, slammed a chop to the Dekomori's head and said coldly:

"Is that what you call punishing evil and upholding justice? Slamming a five- or six-meter-long hammer on the ground is called damaging public facilities and seriously disturbing the peace!"

Shakti looked helpless.

There are indeed quite a few idle people in the city, some of whom are retired or disabled adventurers, and others are thugs who will do anything for money.

And this little guy is disciplining the Soma Familia...

The Soma clan was also being bullied, so what was originally a family matter has now escalated into a factional struggle...

Tokumori, of course, knew nothing of this. She pouted and said, "Hmph. That's their fault! They were bullying a child! By the way, where's my Mad Moon Thunder Hammer X Resurrection X Second Generation?"

"Confiscated."

"Uh—" Tu Shouhao's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to shout.

Seeing that things were not going well, Shakti immediately threw the problem child into Shaga's arms.

The two embraced... Xia Jia felt a sharp pain in her chest from the impact.

"Hey Chao, you should drink more milk! It's so uncomfortable."

"Old Xia! You're here!" Tu Shou looked on with curiosity, temporarily forgetting about the hammer, and then chuckled foolishly.

At first, it wasn't a big deal, but when Shaka saw Kageno Minoru with Leon...

What he saw was an awkward feeling: "So you were arrested too?"

"So, this is considered... a fellow inmate meeting?"

Chapter 86 The Three Ironclad Principles of Life

The two stared at each other.

Shaka really wanted to ask how the food was at the police station in the everyday world, and whether they had four dishes and a soup. He also sensed that Kageno had the same thought.

The two stared at each other for a long time, until Dekomori got a little jealous and put his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction.

Finally, after uttering countless words, he managed to utter only one: "Why is it you?"

Kageno Minoru glanced at Tokomaru, scratched his head, and said in a simple and honest manner:

"Well, I'm the one with the most free time. I recently got a new job in Orario, selling potato balls again. It's 60 Faris an hour. But it's already closing time."

Is this something to be proud of...?

Shaga gave a thumbs-up: "Congratulations, you've found the only secret weapon to clear this world!"

Soon after, Leon came out carrying a metal box, along with a bag of farries at his waist.

"This is the commission paid by that businessman named Old Mai, who said he was very grateful for your saving his life."

Shaga took the bag; it was filled with 10000 Holy Gold Coins each. All told, it was worth about 100 million Fali—a significant financial blow.

"Thanks," Xia Jia said gratefully, then pondered for a moment:

Having one million Fali isn't a huge amount, but it's not insignificant either. I need to use this money to rent a place in Orario, to have a place to stay.

The "school district" is currently located in the port city of Mellen.

It's not too far, but it's not too close either; the distance is awkward. It's also a hassle to commute back and forth every day.

However, I have nowhere to stay tonight, so I'll have to make do with a hotel for the night.
