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

As Yui ran past the cave entrance, Kanade suddenly opened her eyes, her sonic blades overlapping, and fired a sonic blast towards the cave entrance, clearing a section of the monster dragon's middle.

A small number of monsters were attracted by the shelling and changed targets.

But even more monsters continued to follow Yui.

After clearing out the scattered monsters, Yuuki will block the entrance again to prevent monsters from entering the cave.

Once Yui has led the monster around again, Kanade, having recovered her mental strength, will fire the cannon again.

Good grief, a monster loop?

Shaka broke away from the group midway and entered the cave. When she saw Yuki's actions, she exclaimed that she was an expert.

Yuuki chuckled, "These are some 'leveling spots' that Mr. Sora found. They've been exploring the map these past few days."

Xia Jia suddenly realized why the map in his hand was so detailed, even marking the exact spot where he jumped down from the vertical cave.

The final round.

Shaga and Lefia joined the battle, and the monster convoy was wiped out in an instant.

Yui sat on the ground, panting, "I... I can't go on."

You have the "High Energy" skill, how can you say it's not possible?

But in reality, Yui had already sprinted at full speed for an hour and was truly exhausted.

Yui said casually, "Let's call it a day. Kaname, are you here to see Yuki?"

"Yes. We're going to explore the middle and lower levels."

Tachibana Kanade suddenly interjected, "As for the lower and middle levels... Naza said she wants some medicinal herbs produced in the 'Great Tree Maze.'"

Besides tree bark and moss, the "Great Tree Maze" is also covered with a large number of flowers and plants. Clusters of white flowers can be seen in the ceiling and the cracks in the surrounding walls, and huge mushroom groups can be seen in some corners.

Almost all plants can be brought back to the ground and used as healing potions or raw materials for other items.

Tachibana Kanade said, "Nazha wants white leaves. She asked before if she could ask Hayate to collect them."

Xia Jia thought about it.

A thief never leaves empty-handed; since he's already come all this way, it's obvious he can't leave without taking something with him.

"Okay, I'll try to collect it if it's easy for me."

Xiao Zou was eager to try.

"However, you can't go; it's too early for you."

Xia Jia's expression was serious. The guild assessment range for floors 20-23 was that of a top-tier level 2 squad.

Floor 19, with Shaga, a level 3 peak (or perhaps pseudo level 4 early stage captain), plus Shadow and Lefia, barely meets the standard for a successful strategy.

With Xia Jia intentionally bringing Miyazono Kaoru along, her battlefield mana regeneration is crucial. Being distracted while protecting her, bringing Tachibana Kanade along clearly made things a bit chaotic.

Xiao Zou seemed a little disappointed. Her current state was actually a bit like Ai Si's; she was too eager and had overdone it.

Xia Jia rubbed her head: "Let's train Yui on the upper level first. I think you'll be able to catch up with the team soon."

The team was reorganized, and the exhausted Yui and Tachibana were temporarily escorted to the upper level.

Kaori Miyazono and Yuuki, along with Natsumi, formed a six-person raiding team and set off.

In the middle zone, Yuuki and Shadow spearheaded the charge, their frying pan and rapier piercing through the enemy lines; Black Cat provided mid-range support, healing and weakening the opponents; Lefia unleashed a barrage of artillery fire; and Kaori Miyazono provided permanent healing.

Xia Jia listened to different violin pieces, watched the lighting technicians put on special effects, put his hands in his pockets, and took the lead.

He watched as the Shadow Pan's opponents went from goblins to unicorns to spotted tigers, until a Minotaur died beneath its frying pan.

That frying pan, finally unable to withstand the humiliation, met its end.

Following the map, the group explored up to the 18th floor.

Upon entering Rivera, Shaga took out some of his own money and inquired about the "Omnipotent One" from the nearby shops.

Ryu's identity is rather sensitive, so it's probably best not to inquire about it.

The weapons shop owner, Perth, took the weapon from Farley, stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, and said:

"As for the [Omnipotent One], I think he went to the 20th floor before. It was probably this morning."

"However, finding her won't be easy. As long as she's wearing a mask, not much information will be sent back."

Xia Jia nodded: "Thanks."

Chapter 170 Cunning Rat

Now that they had arrived in Rivera, the group naturally split up to gather information.

After questioning the nominal 'Rivera boss', Bos, Shaga did not inquire about information from others, but instead explored towards the remote forest.

Based on vague memories and information previously relayed by Miko, Shaka found the burial ground of the former Astrea Familia in a remote forest.

It's called a burial ground, but it's really just some cenotaphs, containing only the personal weapons of the deceased ancestors.

He stood before the grave mound, silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "I'm sorry it's been so long since I came to see you."

"Well, it's not too late now, at least I can do something so that I don't come empty-handed."

His eyes searched around the burial mound, and among the scattered weapons, he found that very special fist blade.

With a gentle squeeze, the weapon detached from the ground, revealing its rusty blade.

Xia Jia removed a throwing knife from his fist and murmured:

"I hope Ryu won't be angry with me because of this. Right now, I have to rely on your wisdom and your face!"

Shaga gripped his weapon, closed his eyes, and starlight rose around him, with the emblem of justice forming a spot of light that appeared behind him.

Shine forth, heroes of all realms, heed the call of the descendant! Stars, gather here!

A golden pillar of light shot into the sky, breaking the Yin-Yang magic and displaying its power in the lower realm for the first time.

The throwing knife in her hand disappeared, and a white-haired little human girl gradually emerged from the golden pillar of light.

She looked around blankly at first, but when she finally saw the grave mound, a sad expression appeared on her face.

[The Cunning Rat] Lyra, strategist of the Astrea Familia?

Is it her?

Shaka hesitated for a moment, then finally remembered from the information she was about to forget that this person's hair color seemed to be dyed as well.

So it was originally white-haired?

After surveying the graveyard, Lyra, unable to find the wooden sword she remembered, smiled slightly.

"She survived, that's not bad."

After confirming the information, she slowly turned around, raised the corners of her mouth, and said casually:

"Oh, so you're the Master who summoned me? Seriously, these days, newcomers can't even produce monsters like this."

After drinking a bottle of psychic potion, Xia Jia asked, "You don't seem surprised at all?"

"Well, I sensed some of it." Leila opened her palm and made a loose fist:

"This body is a prosthetic body made of magic, isn't it? Hmm, truly incredible magic."

As she spoke, she put her hands in her pockets and smiled, saying:

"Speak, why did you summon me, a dead man, out here, young stranger?"

Xia Jiashu sighed, "If you understand the situation, then things are much easier. Maintaining your existence consumes too much of my magic power. Let's get straight to the point."

"Senior, I need your help."

Lyra's level before her death was lv3, which was exactly the level that Shaga's summoning magic could be compatible with. However, maintaining her existence consumed almost 50% of Shaga's mental energy, and the mental energy continued to be consumed as her existence lasted longer.

Without resupply, Lyra's lifespan would be only about four hours.

Constantly summoning a level 3 enemy requires consuming 600 points of each of Shaga's fixed abilities, totaling 3000 points. This is an unbearable expense for Shaga, who currently needs to accumulate attributes to level up.

Upon hearing this, Leila's previously smiling expression gradually softened, transforming her from a shrewd fox into a house cat: "Senior?"

Shaga took out his commander's medal, the one he inherited from Alicia.

"So that's how it is, a successor has appeared." Leila looked Shaga up and down, and the boy's figure gradually overlapped with that of Alicia.

"What? If you're one of us, you should have said so earlier. You kept smiling like that. I thought you were one of us."

Leila kicked Shaga and complained.

“Senior, you’re the same.” Xia Jia shrank back.

After Laila confirmed Shaga's identity, he felt that his abilities had increased dramatically.

The mental energy that had been consumed to maintain Lyra's existence had actually been partially restored.

Is this method of summoning considered as having goodwill towards the clan?

At level 3, the higher favorability rating results in an average increase in ability stats of approximately 700 points per stat, similar to level 1.

Everyone's talking about fake level 7 and fake level 8, but I feel like with my current stats, I should be able to put up a fight against a fake level 4.

Xia Jia's eyes lit up. After the upgrade, perhaps he could consider summoning his predecessors first?
