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

"Why is it so cheap?" Xia Jia asked, getting straight to the point.

Chizuka said with interest, "It's said that the original boss was murdered by his mistress because of relationship problems. The original wife didn't like seeing the unfaithful man's things, so she sold them off at low prices."

"A person died at the nearby barbershop because of a relationship problem," Chizuka said mysteriously.

"It's said that this street is cursed; anyone who cheats will be struck by a hatchet!"

Xia Jia glanced at the office upstairs, shuddered, and hesitated before asking:

Are there any other seats available?

Chizuka scratched her head sheepishly and looked away.

"Yes, there is, but a small problem has arisen."

"Minor issue?"

"Hehe." Chizuka took out her phone, pointed to a news article, and said:

"Look at this."

A massive arms smuggling ring was conducting a transaction at XX bar when a disagreement arose, leading to a brawl.

Xia Jia clicked on the picture; the bar was completely riddled with bullet holes, pitted and uneven.

Based on Shaga's limited knowledge of firearms, the gun that produces this effect seems to be called a Gatling gun.

“I also have photos of the crime scene here. That was the most suitable place.” Chizuka swiped her phone and pulled up a photo.

Xia Jia even spotted a blonde figure in black in the blurry photo.

Gin...

It seems they've started fighting with that commander's organization. That looks interesting.

Xia Jia looked at Chizuka in surprise: "It's amazing you survived."

"Hehe, life is the most important thing. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite capable!" Chizuka scratched her head, dodged left and right with a swift movement, and continued:

"If you can wait a few months, that might be a good option. It's just that those guys haven't been caught yet, so the area is cordoned off by the police."

Xia Jia estimated that it would probably be another ten years before the police caught Gin.

After looking around the izakaya, I was quite satisfied. It didn't need any renovations; I could just hire a full staff and open for business.

He glanced at the Mori office again, pondering:

"There are loopholes in the pattern of Conan's deaths. At least the main characters haven't died yet. Besides... I don't run the shop myself. If I just find a few employees with the fate of being the main characters, can't I safely get to base?"

With that thought in mind, Xia Jia nodded in satisfaction, completed the paperwork with Qian Shu, and paid the commission. The two exchanged contact information, said they would support each other in the future, and then waved goodbye.

……

What happened next...

Xia Jia created a giant, sealed wine barrel and placed a portal inside. Thus, a self-service wine machine with an inexhaustible supply was born.

Over the next two days, Xia Jia posted job notices, accompanied Yuki and Yui to Boqi's first performance, and visited the Black Cat's house.

I casually sent the manuscript I had written in my spare time to the editorial department to get by.

three days later.

Xiajia recruited her ideal shop assistant.

"I'm Tooru Amuro, nice to meet you." The dark-skinned young man gave a warm smile.

"My name is Yusa Emi, and I'll work hard! I heard that room and board are provided here, is that true?"

Xia Jia sat with his legs crossed on the sofa booth, looking at the two of them with a serious expression.

Nothing can defeat a hero, except for food and lodging provided!

Ah~ So, after filtering out the normal people, all that's left are these problem children?

"Um, is there something wrong with me?" Amuro Tooru scratched his face.

"No, I just feel that you guys will definitely be able to survive to the end. Probably." Xia Jia said with a serious expression.

"what……"

Yusa Emi didn't care about the ending. She held her stomach and raised her hand: "Um, can we eat first?"

“Of course.” Xia Jia nodded solemnly: “Ms. Yuza Emi, from now on you will be the honorary manager of this store. Everything will be left to you to make decisions, including meals, of course.”

“There’s no need to address me with ‘you’ (formal), that’s too kind of you,” Yusa Emi waved her hand.

“It’s necessary.” Xia Jia said solemnly, obediently handing over tea.

"Boss, have some tea!"

"With you in charge, I'm confident this shop will continue to operate, and I can confidently continue my adventures!"

Yusa Emi scratched her face, her stomach rumbling. "So, can we eat now? I haven't eaten for three days."

Chapter 162 Magic + Detective Conan = ?

Yusa Emi's identity in the other world is the hero Emilia, a half-angel who possesses a special energy called "Holy Magic Aura".

In an izakaya.

Shaka sat in the booth, watching the "former" hero skillfully flipping the wok, reminiscing about the past.

The appearance of the hero means that the Demon King is also present.

He's a big shot who can break through spatial barriers and cross worlds at any time.

Even now, the remaining holy energy within Yusa Emi's body seems capable of breaking through space and returning to her original world.

For people like that, we can only let them be.

"What can I do? I can't beat them in a fight, and I can't run away."

Of course, given their current situation, the remaining power within them is a trump card to keep each other in check, and they won't use it easily, so Xia Jia doesn't need to be too wary.

However, to recruit them, I'll probably have to wait until I have a similar level of strength before I can take action.

before that……

"Let's see if we can squeeze something out of the heroes? Like, the cultivation method for Holy Qi?"

I wonder if I'll have a chance to learn something if I bow down in worship?

Xia Jia's eyes sparkled. The power system in the world of DanMachi is slow to improve and requires pushing one's limits. But compared to these difficulties, the only advantage is that it fundamentally changes the upper limit of human "weapons".

This kind of performance, similar to unlocking a genetic lock, will inevitably improve at the fastest speed once it gains the power of other systems.

only……

"I'm only level one right now. Even if my strength and skills improve, the essence of the 'weapon' remains unchanged... Hmm, but there's no rush. As the boss, it's not easy for the hero to teach me 'Holy Qi.' Let's take it one step at a time."

As for Amuro Tooru...

"Heh, this guy seems to be a sideline soldier too. He's probably gathering intelligence again this time."

"Is it because of Chizuka?" Xia Jia pondered.

However... with Yusa Emi around, as long as she doesn't want to lose her job, this little trouble can be easily resolved.

Suddenly, it feels a bit like a villain from an hentai anime.

Xia Jia raised her eyebrows and drank the last bit of cola in her glass. She stood up, leaned against the stove, and said to Yuza Emi:

"I'm entrusting this shop to you. I can give you 50% of the monthly revenue and profit. Don't let me down. If it goes bankrupt, we'll all be starving."

Upon hearing this, Yusa Emi wiped the grease stains from her stolen food on her apron and gave a standard knightly salute:

"Thank you very much for your trust, boss. Please feel free to leave it to me."

Yusa Emi was deeply moved.

Oh dear, because of my suspicious identity, I was rejected by so many shops and couldn't even find a place to stay.

Having lived under the overpass for several days, she decided to try her luck after seeing an advertisement for a store that included room and board. Unexpectedly, she was appointed store manager.

Wow, the boss is such a kind person!

Yusa Emi rubbed her hands together shyly:

"Um, I'd like to ask about my identity?"

Xia Jia raised the corners of her mouth:

"Amuro can take care of this for you, but even if you don't have an identity card, it doesn't matter. You can just stay in my apartment. I'm not home often, and I have plenty of rooms."

That guy has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds; at the very least, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to forge an ID document in the open.

"You, your home?"

Yusa Emi was somewhat surprised. If it weren't for the fact that Xia Jia still looked like a child, she would have thought that Xia Jia had something on her body.

Shaka took out his spare key and a bank card and handed them to Yusa Emi, saying:

"Of course, it's your freedom to choose where you stay, and I won't object if you stay at a hotel."

"I will also deposit the store's operating funds into this card every month, which you can use as needed."
