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

Liu was scolded without really understanding what was happening, but her rebellious streak kicked in immediately, and she retorted:

"That's because you took it upon yourself to protect me, and then you all died without my permission, leaving me all alone! If you're not happy about it, then you'd better live on and keep pointing your finger at me and yelling at me like that!"

Layla's cheek twitched: "Isn't it because we all felt that only you could perfectly inherit Lady Astrea's justice that we specially kept you here!"

"Alright!" Shaka interrupted their argument and shoved a Flying Thunder God kunai into Ryu's hand.

"If you want to argue, go outside and argue all you want."

Liu was stunned, then exclaimed in panic, "Mr. Xia, are you dead too?!"

"Die my foot! We're still in the maze!" Shaka flicked the elf's head, grabbed her hand, and said:

"Input magic power!"

Liu subconsciously did as instructed.

Shaka grabbed her hand and threw the kunai out with two whooshing sounds.

A group of people appeared outside a huge metal gate.

Upon seeing the familiar luxury creation, Liu slowly widened her eyes, staring intently at Leila.

"You, you...you!!!"

"Stop with the 'you, you, you'! If you have something to say, go back inside and talk to me!" Laila kicked Liu in the butt again.

But this time, Ryu didn't dodge; instead, she pointed at her former companion with an incredulous expression.

Xia Jia didn't have time to explain anything to Liu, so she took out her key and opened the door.

Buzz buzz,

The metal door slowly opened, and the three of them filed out.

When Ryu finally saw the familiar forest and the ceiling lit up by the giant magic stone outside the maze, he truly realized that he was still alive.

"Stop spacing out, let's go!" Xia Jia ordered.

Lyra put her hood back on. It had only been two years since the Astrea Familia was destroyed, and her appearance was not unrecognizable.

The three returned to the hotel in Rivera, closed the door tightly, and Shaga finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once they were sure it was safe, the two slowly straightened their faces and stared at the elf with unfriendly eyes.

"Tell me, why did you go into that maze all by yourself?"

Ryu didn't answer; instead, she nervously grabbed Leila's hand and touched it all over.

"Are you really Lyra? Or are you a twin sister or something?"

Leila slapped away Liu's groping hand and said irritably:

"You're the one who needs to be taught a lesson, you useless elf!"

Seeing Ryu's suspicious expression, Leila used her trump card:

"When you were 13, you secretly hid Astraea's bow tie, and when Alexandra suggested bathing with the goddess, you stole several glances at the mole below her collarbone. And..."

"Waaah, Laila, please stop!"

With a flushed face, Liu covered Leila's mouth and looked at Shaga with a shy expression.

Seriously, what did you say in front of your juniors?! And it was so disrespectful to the goddess!

Upon seeing his usually cold and aloof wife, he suddenly broke down.

Shaka chuckled and said, "So this is indeed a tradition of the Astrea Familia. It's alright, have more, I like it."

After briefly reminiscing about the feelings of our predecessors, we finally arrived at the unavoidable issue.

Liu asked curiously, "How exactly did Lyra come back to life?"

"Calling it a resurrection isn't accurate," Shaka explained.

"You should know that my magic is essentially summoning magic. Creating doors to teleport is actually a side ability."

"Then, it is also possible to use magic stones to summon monsters, or to use items containing obsessions to summon heroes of the past."

Liu asked regretfully, "So, in other words, Leila will return to the Celestial Realm sooner or later?"

Shaga nodded: "That makes sense. However, as long as I become strong enough and recover enough mental strength to replenish the magic power that Lyra has consumed, then I can live forever."

"But... Lyra will be reincarnated sooner or later, and I won't cancel the magic until then."

“That’s good too…” Ryu was delighted.

The deaths of my companions were too sudden. We didn't even have a proper goodbye before they were gone forever. Now that we have another chance, it's the best we can hope for.

but……

When Ryu learned that Shaka could summon Heroic Spirits from the past, another problem arose.

"If Lyra can do it, what about Alicia? Kaguya? Niz? Iska? Celty?..."

Shaga shrugged: "Sorry, I'm still too weak. Those seniors are at least level 4. Do you think there are any magic superpowers that allow adventurers of the same level to summon multiple combatants of the same level?"

Upon hearing this, Liu's little face instantly turned serious: "Then hurry up and become stronger!"

Chapter 185 Shaka: Heh?

"Then hurry up and become stronger!"

Liu blurted out those words without thinking.

But, young lady, I've grown fast enough already! In just over a month, I'm almost leveling up!

Although it can't compare to those overpowered characters in Shadow, it's not slow either!

"Idiot, leveling up isn't that easy! Speaking of which, Master, you managed to summon me in just two years, that really surprised me. Did you transfer to another sect?"

Leila discovered the blind spot.

Shaka frankly admitted, "No, I'm a native member of the Justice Clan. Speaking of which, I'm still only level 1, even though I'll be leveling up soon. But I'm still level 1, no doubt."

“Level 1?!” Lyra’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

Ryu was quite surprised: "How did you do that? I remember back then I..."

She stopped mid-sentence, blushing, as if suddenly realizing something.

She couldn't very well say that she had ambushed him, a newbie, and almost killed him.

Leila is right, I am a really incompetent senior!

The useless elf drooped its pointed ears in shame.

Seeing the two seniors' surprise, Xia Jia decided not to hide anything and said seriously:

"To be honest, my current strength is inseparable from all of you here."

"us?"

“Yes!” Shaga said frankly, “I have a skill called [Wings of Justice], which allows me to share some of my stats based on the affinity level of my clan members!”

"Therefore, based on the current strength of the clan members, with one level 4, one level 3, five level 2, and a double-digit number of level 1, my current basic ability is equivalent to the level of someone who has just advanced to level 4."

Upon hearing this, both of them were taken aback.

It can be confirmed that only 5 level 2 individuals cannot provide Shaga with ability values ​​exceeding level 4; the majority of the credit will definitely go to their own side.

That doesn't mean...

They actually have a very high level of affection for Shaga?!

Favorability is something that is inherently difficult to measure with specific numbers, especially for the person being measured, who is even less likely to perceive it.

However, once she realized that she had a certain level of aversion to someone, she began to feel a certain aversion, which caused Shaga's [Wings of Justice] ability value to drop rapidly in a short period of time.

But soon...

“It must be that we’re projecting our goodwill towards Alicia onto you,” Lyra said, scratching her head. “Who told you to use Alicia’s magic all the time, and to be so similar to her?”

Ryu was also aware of this.

However, as the last member of the Astrea Familia, she had more to think about.

Her impression of Shaka seemed more like that of a "child" who inherited Alexandra's will. Rather than a mother, she was more like an "aunt" or an "elder."

That's why, after discovering the man-made maze, she didn't even inform her child about the implications before rushing into the maze herself, intending to take all the blame upon herself.

and……

"He did not hide any information about 'favorability rating'; Mr. Xia is an upright person."

This is how Ryu evaluated it.

After the two adjusted their mindset, Xia Jia felt that their ability values ​​not only did not decrease, but instead showed a trend of continuing to increase.

Xia Jia thought to herself with delight:

'Come to think of it, the useless elf still needs me to see her old companions again! Hehe, then I'll be the head of the household, and she can even stop cutting back on my secret stash of money! Regaining control of the finances will be just around the corner!'

After learning about Shaka's skills...

Laila said regretfully, "It's a pity. If Xia had joined the Familia while we were still alive, perhaps we wouldn't have died at the hands of that monster."
