update: 12/30/14


Serara, the girl we saved from Susukino, belonged to Maryelle's guild, the Crescent Alliance. A guild is a group of comprised people. Guilds offer many advantages that parties, which are most provisional, don't have. For example, a shared vault in the game's bank, and a dedicated communication system. And most importantly, potential use of the guild hall, located here, at the guild building. These halls can be purchased or rented, and are divided into several ranks. Normally, you select a hall based on your guild's size. The crescent moon alliance uses what's known as a rank-b hall, consisting of seven rooms. For them, the size is exactly right.


Chapter 6: Resolves

The guild main room of the Crescent moon guild was covered all around in celebration decorations such as streamers and balloons all around with a banner in the middle of the room that says WELCOME BACK SERARA on it. As Serara came into the room, she almost ran back from the surprise. Everyone including our group was standing in the center of the room with smiles in their face as they looked over at Serara. "WELCOME BACK SERARA!"

Everyone pulled the rope from their streamer poppers that were in their hands and cheered Serara on. When Serara took a double look around the room, her eyes began to water and her mouth began to waver. "Everyone...THANK YOU!" Serara soon ran towards the huge group with open arms and gave everyone a huge hug with her teary eyes.

As Serara walked back after the hug, Ashlynn walked over to Serara and tapped Serara on the shoulder making Serara turn to that direction. "We couldn't have done it all to your liking if Nayu wasn't here to help."

"Eh? Nayu?" Serara looked at Ashlynn confused. Before she could ask, Ashlynn began to walk away to talk with the other guest around. Serara began to scan for her friend in the crowd and soon spotted her with a strawberry cake. Serara began to grin and ran over to Nayu hugging her as hard as she can, well also remembering that she had a cake.

Nayu looked down at Serara with confusion. "Serara...What are you doing?"

"Nayu...thank you so much!" Serara looked up at said girl with tear eyes.

Seeing as how it was for the party she was thankful for, Nayu gave a warm smile. Nayu pried Serara off of her since she was still holding the cake. Nayu then walked to a nearby table and placed the cake down on a nearby table. Walking back to Serara, she bent down on one knee, and placed her finger under Serara's eyes wiping the tears away. "Serara...You are one of my most best friends on Elder Tales, of course I would do something like this for you. That why, you shouldn't cry on your special day, okay?"

"Y-Yeah." Serara raised her hands to her eyes to scrub off the tears.

Nayu have Serara a smile before standing back up. "Then since that's settled..." Nayu suddenly grabbed Serara by the wrist and ran. "Let's go chow down on some food, I'm freak'in starving!"

Serara looked at her friend with wide eyes before turning back to a smile knowing that this is just one of the good things about her friend. Serara just let her friend drag her and just enjoyed staying by her side.


Nayu stood to the side with her hand holding a plate of food as she looked around the crowd of people. As she took a bite of takoyaki she had on her plate, someone tapped her shoulder making her turn to the sight of the guild members Asuka and Hien. "Oh, hello Asuka and Hien, what's up?"

Asuka walked forward in front of Hien to talk to Nayu. "Nayu, where is Serara, wasn't she with you?"

Nayu took the Takoyaki toothpick out of her mouth before pointing it to the crowd. Looking at where she was pointing, Asuka and Hien turned to see Serara with a plate offering people food even though it was her party. Nayu looked at Serara with her face tilted to the side and a sweat drop. "No matter what I said, Serara still wanted to help out even in her own party."

Asuka took a sip out of her drink that she had in her hand before looking back at Nayu. "We are still very thankful for you guys bringing her back."

Nayu looked over at Asuka with a smile. "Well this is something we had to do ,I mean I don't want to leave her to some bulkey monk, would you?"

The three began to joke around talking around random stuff as time to time Nayu would give looks over to Serara making sure she was doing okay. 'Serara...Welcome back...'


After a while, Asuka and Hien left Nayu so they can talk to the other guest, leaving Nayu to stand in the sides alone. But, at the same time they left, Serara soon came over with a tired face. Seeing as how her friend was tired, Nayu took a drink from the table that she saved and placed it in front of her friend's face. "Here, I know how tired you must be right now."

Serara gave Nayu a smile before taking the drink off her hands. "Thank you, Nayu."

Nayu just gave Serara a smile before going back to eating the food on her plate. As she ate, Nayu looked down on Serara noticing that she would be standing on her toes looking out at the crowd. Feeling worried, Nayu looked down at Serara with concern. "Serara, are you feeling okay, or is something wrong?"

"Hmm, a-a yeah." Serara said as she looked out to the crowd.

Nayu gave a sigh seeing that her friend wasn't even paying attention to her. She just leaned on the table behind her thinking what could Serara be doing that made her like that. After a while of thinking, Nayu got a light bulb and gave a smug look at her friend before poking her making Serara turn to her. "Serara, it can't be, you're looking for Nyanta huh."

It was a right on target since Serara's face began to turn red from what Nayu had just said. "E-Eh! I-I'm not!"

"Yeah yeah." Nayu took a bite from her kabob before turing back to Serara. "Nyanta is busy helping out the chefs in the back make food."

Hearing where Nyanta was, Serara just bent down with sad lines on her making Nayu look at her with a sweat mark. As Nayu continued back to her food, she heard noise and looked around to see Naotsugu saying something that made Shoryu red. Worried, she went over to the two while seeing that Maryelle did the same thing. "Is something wrong, you two, I heard some noise from where I was at?"

Maryelle gave a concern look at the two. "What are you two talking about?"

"Oh? We were talking about p-" Naotsugu began to say.

But before he could have finish, Shoryu suddenly jumped onto Naotsugu's back and covered his mouth. "POWERFUL MONSTERS! Yeah, we were talking about powerful monsters."

"Maryelle?" Someone yelled out in the crowd. Seeing as it was for her, Maryelle turned to the voice and walked off. "Yeah."

After Maryelle left, Nayu felt someone tug at her skirt and turned to see Serara. "Nayu, let's go, they are serving those deserts you like a lot."

"CREPES!" Nayu gave a watering look and grabbed Serara by the wrist before running off. But not before stopping Turing back to the male duo. "As long as you guys are ok, that's all that matters. Now, to crepes!"

But before she could go to said dessert, something grab her wrist pulling her away from Serara and blindfolding her in the process. "W-Wait, what's going on?! There are crepes back there waiting for me!"

But she and the person dragging her kept walking and eventually Nayu heard a door open and soon her and the dragger walked inside as the dragger placed Nayu on something like a sofa. Seeing as how it was safe, Nayu took whatever was on her eyes off and saw the sigh of something nasty...Dresses...

Nayu gave a disgusted look before looking around the room. The room looked sort of like a huge dressing room seeing as there were mirrors on one side of the room. As Nayu turned to the left, she jumped seeing as she was not alone. Looking closely, Nayu soon discovered that the person next to her was the one ninja Akatsuki. "Um Akatsuki, what are we doing here?"

Akatsuki turned to Nayu with a dark face. "Torture."

Before asking why, Nayu heard a door open and widen her eyes in horror at the look of the one demon coming in, the one and only Henrietta. As she came in, she had sparkles all around her with a bliss look on her face. "I'm so happy! Not just Ashlynn, but Akatsuki and Nayu too."

While Henrietta was in pure bliss, Akatsuki and Nayu were looking around the room trying to find a way out of this scary women's grasp. Nayu looked at the said demon with a frighten face. "Henrietta, y-you better not do anything bad."

"W-What are you going to do?" Akatsuki looked at the demon with a dark look.

"Ashlynn..." Henrietta turned to the small fox girl.

"Right." Ashlynn soon came into the room carrying two clothing racks which are filled with dresses.

"ASHLYNN YOU TRAITOR!" Nayu looked at Ashlynn with a shocked face.

Ashlynn stood in the middle of the racks presenting them."Today, we have three types of summer dresses for the both of you."

On Akatsuki's rack, there was a orange sleeve dress with a wrap under the chest area, a blue dress with frills and layer frills, and a pink dress with roses on one of the straps and at the waist and the dress also comes with a pink pearl necklace. On Nayu's rack, there is a light purple dress with thin straps and has frills at the end of the dress that goes an inch above her knees, a light red dress with one strap and a carnation on the strap which goes down to her feet, and a light golden dress with light puff sleeves and blue roses around the skirt that go down to her knees (Basically like my profile pic). Just looking at the the two girl's faces, you can tell they do not want to be dressed up and started to move back.

"I-I am my lord's personal ninja! I couldn't wear such frivolous things!" Akatsuki said shaking with fear.

"M-Me TOO! Except it's not for Shiroe but for everyone else." Nayu said with her face showing fear.

"Shiroe gave me his permission Akatsuki. For Nayu everyone in the guild say its ok." Henrietta said with a sadic face. "Now, just give up..."

Akatsuki and Nayu were holding on to eachother shaking for dear life with scared faces.

"LORD SOLD ME OUT!" "EVERYONE I KNOW BETRAYED ME!"

They screamed so loud that you can hear their screams from outside the building. Night soon fell on the guild and everyone was in the central room asleep. Nayu was over at the sleeping Serara placing the blanket on her before walking out of the room. As she walked, she left the Crescent Moon guild and kept walking until she got outside. As she got outside, she looked around until she began walking and walking until eventually she stopped nearby the big central tree. She soon sat on one of the rock slabs, took of her pirate hat, and look up at the sky with no emotion. "...The sky is very pretty here...been a while since I have seen the starry night sky..."

Nayu shifted around until she was lying on the rock slab facing the sky. 'The last time I saw the night sky like this...was about a year ago...'

Nayu closed her eyes as she thought back to a year ago.

Flashback

"Hey Nanami!" Someone ran up to her. "Wait up!"

Nayu, aka Nanami in real life, stopped walking and turned around to see a slender tall guy with messy silver hair wearing the same uniform as her waving a hand at her. It's after school and Nanami was about to go home until someone called her. She stopped in place and stared at the guy who was now holding his knees breathing hard from the sudden run. "What's up senpai, did you leave something in my bag again?"

The guy stopped his heavy breathing and stood up straight looking at her. "Hey Nanami, didn't we say that we weren't going to do that anymore, just call me Takeru no hornorifics."

Takeru was one of the first seniors to come up to Nanami during her first year of high school. He was student council president and most loved student in the school. But to Nanami, he was just a regular guy what she is friends with.

Nanami just gave a skeptical look. "Okay...anywho, is something wrong that you called me a yard away for."

"Oh right." Takeru suddenly grabbed Nanami by the wrist and ran the other way while dragging her. "Come with me for a minute!"

As she ran, Nanami just had one thought in her mind as she ran, where is he taking her to. They just kept running, past the school, past the school yard, and soon into the woods uphill. It just kept going until eventually the sky darken and the run soon slowed to a simple walk with Takeru still holding her wrist. "Hey Takeru-senpai, where are we going, you know I have to be home?"

"It's okay, I called your brother and told him that you will be with us for a while, and don't call me senpai, just Takeru." Takeru kept looking forward as he dragged Nanami.

The two eventually got out of the woods and what Nanami saw made her face smile. From her view, she saw her group of friends around a picnic on the ground with a telescope nearby, and the view was wonderful seeing the whole town where they were at as well as the starry sky. "Takeru..."

Takeru let go of Nanami wrist before walking in front of her with a smile. "This is the last time we will all be here together before graduation, might as well celebrate."

Nanami just smiled at him before walking up to her friends who soon noticed the duo. A girl the same age as Nanami with pink pigtails as well as the same uniform stood up from her seat on the blanket and ran up to the girl giving her a hug. "Man Nami what took you so long to get here?"

Nami just smiled at the girl and patted her head. Mimi was one of Nanami's classmate and best friends since the first year of high school. Mimi would have to be one of the most active girls in the school due to her hyper ness. "Sorry Mimi, I would have come sooner if I knew that we were doing this. "

"What you didn't know to come here!" Mimi just looked at her shocked before turning around with a angry face and wavering her fist with anger. "Hey Rikuto I told you to tell Nami."

Nanami looked at where Mimi was yelling to see a guy with bleached shaggy hair wearing blue headphones with a skull on the sides of the earphone laying on the blanket sleeping. As Mimi yelled at Rikuto, a hand sat on top of her head making her stop and turn around to see a girl with black straight hair with bangs covering her forehead. "Mimi, don't yell, that's not very lady like."

"..." Mimi just placed her fist down before turning her whole body to the girl. "Sorry Megumi-Senpai."

Megumi was a daughter of a rich family who ran a really famous business corporation. As she grew up, she was raised to be a mannered young lady for when she gets older. Almost all the females in the school look up to her and almost all the guys fan over her. Megumi just smiled at Mimi before turning to Nanami. "Nanami, if you want you can sit down and begin eating."

"O-Oh, okay Megumi-senpai." Nayu gave a small bow before walking to the set blanket on the ground. As she sat down, she felt movement and soon a soda come in face at her. When Nayu turned to the giver, she saw that the guy Rikuto has gotten off and was taking off his headphones.

"Here, you must be tired after Taka-Baka dragged you all the way here." Rikuto looked at her with tired eyes.

Nayu just gave him a smile as she took the soda. "Oh, thank you, Rikuto."

As she took the soda, Nayu was able to notice Rikuto tying his neck length hair up to show the many ear piercing Rikuto had in his ears, 5 in one ear and 5 in the other making him have 10 ear piercings all together. But he wasn't a bad guy, in school he would leave his hair down so he wouldn't get in trouble, plus he was one of the smartest kids in her class. As she was thinking that, a voice from out of the blue was heard. "Hey everyone! Sorry I was late, soccer practice kept going on."

As everyone turned around, they see a guy with purple hair with his bangs held back coming over with a soccer ball in hand. This guy's name was Kakeru and he was the ace in their school's soccer team. But, he was also the one kid in class who would sleep or eat in class. Mimi walked over to Kakeru and eventually punched him in the head. "Baka, we agreed to be here an hour ago!"

"Ah sorry sorry, but coach wanted us to do no practice game and well we all lost time as we played." Kakeru scratched his head.

"Baka..." Is what Nanami heard next to her knowing who it came from. Time soon past and everyone was sitting on the picnic blanket either eating or talking to the people around.

Takeru soon stood up from his seat and stood in front of the gang of friends in front of him. "Okay everyone, as you all know graduation is coming up. Meaning that me and your other senpai Megumi will be leaving to go off to college. In this case, this may be the last time we will all hang out as high schoolers. But don't worry, we will try our best to meet up from time to time like this. In the meantime, let's all enjoy the night sky together as the members of the astrology club."

Everyone raised their drinks up to the sky. "Oh!"

Takeru sat back down and continued talking to everyone as usual. Nanami looked around with a smile as she saw all her friends getting along so well. As she looked up to the sky, she knew that this was one memory she will remember forever.


"She has been here all night right?" Someone said looking at Nayu resting on the ground.

The person nearby turned to the other person. "Yeah, hey Naoutsugu, wake her up."

Naoutsugu, being one of the people turned to the person with shock. "Huh, why me, why don't you do it Akatsuki."

Akatsuki just gave Naotsugu a glare before taking out one of her weapons, making Naotsugu panic while placing his hands in front of him for protection. "Okay okay got it, I'll do it!"

Naotsugu walked over to the sleeping Nayu until he was to the side of her and begun shaking her. "Hey Nayu, wake up its morning."

But all Nayu did was wave him off. Eventually, Akatsuki walked over to them but with a evil grin. "Wait there Naotsugu, I have a good idea."

Naotsugu just looked at Akatsuki confused before looking back at Nayu bending down to see her sleeping face. "You can try Akatsuki, but I don't know if it will work, she is sleeping like a log."

Akatsuki just gave a grin at Naotsugu. "Hey Nayu, ther3 is a pervert next to you!"

"WHAT!" Nayu shot right up from her sleep and banged her head right at Naoutsugu's who was still bent down but now sitting on the ground holding his head.

"Ow!" Naotsugu just held his forehead in pain. "You planned this huh, Akatsuki!"

Naotsugu just turned to Akatsuki seeing her just swaying from side to side whistling. Naotsugu looked behind her to see Shiroe coming over to the group making him forget his pain. "Hey! Shiroe!"

"My lord, don't worry me, if you're leaving, say something." Akatsuki walked up to Shiroe with worry.

Shiroe just looked down on Akatsuki confused."What..."

When Nayu was fully awake, she looked over to see the traitor in glasses nearby. As she walked over to the group, she sent a dark vibe out of her body. Sensing this, Shiroe turned to the direction to see Nayu. "G-Good morning Nayu, is something wrong?"

Suddenly, Nayu walked up til she was in front of Shiroe and then elbowed him in the gut, very hard making him bend down with pain. "W-Wait what w-was that for, Nayu?"

"That was from Akatsuki and I for betraying us and sending us to the demon dresser." Nayu looked at Shiroe with red eyes like a demon.

"S-Sorry, I h-had to do it." Shiroe looked up to see a potion in front of him. As he looked further up, it was Nayu who gave him to potion.

"As long as you apologies, then you are forgiven." Nayu looked away as she said that.

As Nayu walked over to the two other members, Shiroe was looking at this with a smile as he drank the potion. 'That's right. These three have been waiting for my words'.


After meeting up, the group walked back to the guild hall for Shiroe had to discuss something with Maryelle. As of this moment, Akatsuki, Naotsugu, and Nayu are waiting outside the guild hall as Shiroe talks with Maryelle and Henretta. Nayu looked at the two people around her before looking up at the sky. She knew the reason why he was here (Due to a listening in on Shiroe) and was proud of his decision. 'Shiroe, as of now, you, me, Akatsuki, Naotsugu, and finally Nyanta can be a part of something, the one you created...the one home called...Log Horizon...'
