Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

More than physical pleasure, the feeling of being genuinely accepted and cherished by the goddess made him feel happier.

In the kitchen, Yingping hummed a song as he fried eggs.

The butter sizzled in the frying pan, and its aroma quickly filled the entire basement.

He specially fried the egg into a heart shape and then drew a smiley face with ketchup.

"Ying Pingjun..."

A soft, sweet voice came from behind.

Hestia stood in the doorway, rubbing her eyes, wearing only a large shirt.

That was the nightgown Yingping gave her to wear last night.

The overly long hemline just covered the middle of her thighs, revealing her two fair calves.

Good morning, my lovely goddess.

Yingping turned around and opened his arms. "Want a hug?"

Hestia blushed, but still ran like a little bird and jumped into his arms.

Ying Ping picked her up and spun her around, pretending to kiss her, which made the goddess scream and punch his shoulder: "Idiot! I haven't brushed my teeth yet!"

"What does it matter?"

Yingping rubbed her smooth cheek against her skin. "Hestia always smells so good."

At breakfast, the loli goddess ate her heart-shaped fried egg in small bites, occasionally stealing a glance at Yingping.

When she realized the other person was looking at her, she immediately blushed and lowered her head, poking at the bacon on her plate with her fork.

Are we going to the dungeon again today?

Hestia asked in a low voice.

"Okay, but let's finish today's training first, and then we'll go after the ability values ​​are updated."

Yingping wiped his mouth, brought up the system interface, and said, "I must become stronger and protect Hestia."

"Hey! I don't need your protection!"

Hestia suddenly stood up, placed her hands on the table, and shouted.

"why?"

Yingping blinked, looking at the loli goddess with some confusion.

"Ahem, well... what I mean is..."

Her voice trailed off, "You mustn't push yourself too hard. If you're tired, take a break..."

Yingping felt a warmth in his heart, walked around the table and pulled the petite goddess into his arms: "Don't worry, I will definitely be careful in the dungeon."

He inhaled the fragrance of Hestia's hair. "After all, I have someone I love waiting for me at home. I'm not going to be foolish enough to throw my life away so easily."

Hestia buried her face in his chest, saying emotionally, "It's good that you understand, Yingping-kun. I'll leave work early today... and then I'll prepare your favorite dishes..."

.....

After completing the daily 'Preparation for the Strong' training, Yingping gained another 10 attribute points.

"Let's allocate 5 points each to Strength and Agility again."

Yingping muttered to himself.

[Shadow King Upgrade System]

"He's visibly gotten stronger."

"Even without using recovery mode, my body can perfectly adapt to the Saitama training method."

"Alright, let's see what the random treasure chest contains today."

A bronze cube-sized treasure chest appeared in Ying Ping's palm.

He sighed and said, "Another one of these trash treasure chests..."

The first two treasure chests I opened contained nothing but trendy, useless gadgets.

But this time, when Yingping casually lifted the lid of the box, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out.

"Wow, the Golden Legend?!"

A gold-embossed card appeared in the golden light, and a system notification popped up immediately:

[Obtained: Servant Summoning Card]

[Effect: Choose one of six classes—Warrior, Assassin, Mage, Healer, Tank, or Archer—to summon a permanently loyal follower.]

[Note: Attendants start at the same level as their hosts and have the potential to grow.]

Looking at the introduction provided by the system, Yingping's hand holding the gold-embossed card trembled slightly.

Currently, the Hestia Familia consists of only Hestia and the Loli Goddess, making it the smallest Familia in Orario.

Having more trustworthy companions is naturally a great thing.

Although it possesses the Shadow King system.

However, Yingping didn't really want to 'level up alone'; having a teammate to go to the dungeon with would be ideal.

So he silently chose the profession of servant in his heart.

"We don't really need soldiers for the time being."

"Hmm... I'd like a therapist first."

"After all, people who can use healing magic are a scarce resource in Orario."

"Having a healer by your side makes it easier to avoid mistakes in the dungeon."

Yingping knew the importance of a healer in the team, so he decisively chose a healer.

The system interface suddenly expands with branch options:

Combat Healer (Effective in both offense and defense)

?Assistive Healer (Buff Specialization)

Group therapist (scope restoration)

"Assistant healer!"

Yingping made a decisive choice; a healer who can provide buffs is extremely rare in Orario.

When he saw that there was even a gender option, he glanced guiltily in the direction of the church and muttered to himself, "...female."

Unfortunately, Yingping also had his own selfish motives.

He didn't want another man to join the Hestia Familia; otherwise, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.

Golden light transformed into a magic circle that unfolded on the ground. As the intricate runes swirled, a petite figure gradually appeared—

Her short, silver-white hair was adorned with flowers, and her delicate features included a pair of large, beautiful eyes that resembled rubies.

She wore a green and white dress and held a cane-gun inlaid with crystals.

Most striking of all were the child's slightly trembling elf ears.

"This is... Kokkoro?!"

"Is it really you!?"

When he saw that the other person was actually the mascot of "Princess Connect!", Yingping couldn't help but blurt out his name.

He was completely shocked.

I never expected that I could summon characters from other anime... or even games.

The white-haired loli blinked her big red eyes, clasped her hands in front of her skirt in a gesture of greeting: "Nice to meet you, Master (Road Roller) sama~"

Her voice was clear and melodious, "I'm Kokkoro, it seems you already know my name~"

Yingping's lips twitched: "Road Roller Sama? This tastes right."

I'm so sorry~

Kokkoro tilted her head, her ahoge swaying with the movement, "My pronunciation of this world's language isn't quite right yet..."

“Excellent, excellent, this is exactly what I need.”

Just as Yingping was reviewing the documents, the church doors were suddenly opened.

Hestia was about to call Yingping to update her stats, but when she saw Kokkoro, she suddenly froze.

"Lord Yingping...who is this child?"

Hestia's expression was priceless; she could hardly believe her eyes.

"Hestia, this child is..."

Yingping originally wanted to say that he had picked up Kokkoro.

But the thought that one cannot lie before the gods made it impossible to continue.

Kokkoro immediately turned and bowed: "Ah, you must be the goddess! I am the new servant of Steamroller-sama..."

"A newly recruited servant?"

"Lord Yingping, what's going on?"

Hestia raised an eyebrow and looked at Ying Ping with hostility.

"and many more!"

Yingping hurriedly interrupted, "Hestia, let me explain! This...this is—"

"so cute!!!"

Hestia suddenly pounced on Kokkoro, rubbing her face against hers. Ah, that soft, delicate skin! Lord Yingping has actually found such a wonderful child!

Kokoro's face turned bright red from being rubbed, and she looked to Yingping for help.

To everyone's surprise, the loli goddess suddenly looked up alertly: "Wait... Yingping-jun, you haven't explained yourself yet? Where did you meet this child? Did you two know each other before?"

“Um, that…”
