Crossover Anime: From DanMachi to Becoming a Garbage Scavenging Master

The next day, on the coast of Mellen.

Standing beside Tianxing, Nyod grumbled with slight dissatisfaction, "You really know how to disappear—"

"He disappeared for a whole year without us noticing, we couldn't even find a trace of him. What happened to our promise to build Mellen Town together?"

He then glanced at Astraea beside him, his expression softening somewhat, and said, "But at least you did something worthwhile, bringing Astraea, who just descended to the mortal realm, to Melen. I'll let this matter drop for now."

Hearing this, Astraea, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but raise her hand to gently cover the corner of her mouth and giggle.

Loki chimed in, "If it weren't for Touka and the others holding you up, this clan would probably have fallen apart long ago, wouldn't it?"

Then, with a hint of sarcasm, she teased, "Since you don't care about them yourself, why don't you transfer them to me? My family is short-handed and will take good care of them for you~"

Tianxing quickly waved his hand and said, "Go away, go away! Get as far away as you can. Be careful, or I'll steal your precious elf away! Don't forget, Riveria's maid, Aina, is currently in my family's household!"

Loki broke out in a cold sweat and pleaded, "No! Aina is already suffering enough without Xiangxiang. If we lose Riveria too, Watashi!"

Ignoring Loki's antics, Tianxing continued explaining to Njord, "I'm not going out for fun this time... You'll be in for a big surprise when the show starts!"

Njord patted Tianxing on the shoulder and laughed heartily: "Anyway, it's good that you're back. After a year of hard work, the surrounding waters have become much safer, and the development of Mellen Town is approaching saturation."

He looked towards the town in the distance, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Loki and I plan to expand Mellen Town in the next few days. Since most of your clan members have returned, why don't you lend a hand and upgrade Mellen Town into 'Mellen Port'?"

Tianxing pointed to the still calm sea in the distance and said meaningfully, "Then you should watch this performance even more carefully."

-----------------

A moment later, the once calm sea began to tremble slightly.

A male shark-mermaid, over four meters tall, suddenly leaped out of the sea, followed by hundreds and thousands of fish.

The fish gathered and dispersed around him, creating a pleasing scene under his conductor-like control.

The exciting opening moment attracted the attention of most people on the shore, and the crowd gradually became lively, with people whispering and asking what kind of demi-human it was.

Just as the atmosphere was heating up and a slight commotion was brewing, a long and deep whale call suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of whale sharks' dorsal fins appeared on the surface of the sea, arranged in neat rows, like a well-trained army marching in formation. They approached the shore, but just before reaching the land, they all leaped out of the water, each performing a beautiful backflip, creating huge waves, and then quickly returned to their original path, cleverly avoiding the risk of running aground.

Two towering fish-men, one red and one blue, leaped off the whale shark's back, their figures strikingly different. The red fish-man briefly gathered his strength, then roared, "Fish-man Judo - Ocean Current - One-Handed Over-the-Shoulder Throw!"

It was as if he had grabbed the seawater, and a huge current of water was forcibly lifted into the sky, curving into a temporary arched waterway in mid-air, like a passageway.

The mermaid then plunged into the water, weaving and tumbling through the channels, her movements so fast they were almost invisible.

Seizing the opportunity, the blue fishman unleashed a series of incredibly powerful water blasts at the mermaid in the current, shouting at the same time, "Fishman Karate - Gun Wave!"

The water surged forward, but never hit its target, as the mermaids dodged it all. However, the powerful impact still shattered the entire waterway, causing it to explode in mid-air, transforming into a magnificent fountain.

This sudden demonstration of offense and defense not only showcased the unique abilities of these demi-humans, but also made everyone present gradually realize that their strength was definitely not simple!

Soon, amidst the merriment and cheers of the fish, a mermaid as dazzling as a goldfish, surrounded by whale sharks, slowly emerged from the water. Behind her followed her three companions who had just appeared, all of whom solemnly bowed to the deities before them.

The goldfish mermaid gently raised her head, her gaze tender yet dignified, slowly sweeping across the faces of everyone present.

"We come from Fishman Island in the deep sea, and we are fish-men demi-humans among the beastmen. We have come here with the desire to live together with the land dwellers."

"We came here at the invitation of Lord Prometheus. We hope that our performance just now left a good impression on everyone."

She paused slightly, her words carrying a subtle yet heartwarming power.

"I am Otohime, the Queen of Fishman Island. I hope that in the time to come, we can get along well and find a way to live together."

The crowd was infected by this emotion, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, with cheers rising and falling all around.

There were a few overly excited guys in the crowd who looked like cat-people or demi-humans.

They waved their hands and shouted things like, "This ability is so convenient, you must keep it, meow!" making quite a commotion.

-----------------

The cheers gradually subsided, but the crowd's excitement did not wane.

Reflecting on the details of the previous performance, Njord couldn't help but exclaim, "These fish-men... seem to be able to communicate with fish? It would be so convenient if they could be used to catch fish."

Tianxing found the idea of ​​using mermaids to create a nest somewhat amusing, but he figured they would be very resistant to such a thing.

"Fish-men can actually be further divided into two categories: 'fish-men' and 'mermaids.' Those who can communicate with fish are the mermaid race, but they themselves do not eat fish, so they probably wouldn't be willing to help with fishing."

"As for fish-people, most of them don't have the ability to communicate with fish, nor do they have any taboos about it. If you're interested later, you can try to get in touch with them."

Njord and Loki exchanged a glance, both with undisguised doubt in their eyes. Based on their experience as gods, this world shouldn't have such a demi-human race.

However, upon further reflection, since all of this was the work of Prometheus, it was most likely another new trick he had come up with. In addition, these fish-men were quite valuable to Melen, and the two quickly made a decision.

Loki stroked his chin, then suddenly punched his palm, a look of sudden realization on his face: "If we could coordinate with them, the battles at sea would be much easier! Finn and the others have been complaining that there are too few tactics available when dealing with aquatic monsters."

Njord's eyes lit up, and his tone became excited: "Mermaids are incredibly fast, which can be used for rapid rescues. Fishmen possess exceptional strength, making them adept at manipulating water currents and restraining enemies. This way, we can employ more complex tactical maneuvers. We won't be in a passive position anymore when fighting monsters in the water!"
