B-Rabbit28: Hey everyone, how is it going? Sorry I haven't been seem often, but guess what, I got my laptop back. Now, some of you may have noticed that some chapters have been updated. Well, even though I had another way of typing, I was too used to using my Laptop to type my stories, and I noticed how crappy my writing was...Hey I was young and inexperienced! Anyway, Nayu, now called, had her birthday yesterday, late, but it's still good to celebrate her birthday. So, happy late birthday Nayu!


Extra chapter 2: Happy birthday Nayu

"Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to...me...Happy birthday to me." A young girl walked through Elder tale Akihabara with a sway to her step. Even if the girl couldn't tell how long she had been in the game, she counted each day in the game as one in real life, and it eventually led up to the day her birthday was suppose to be on.

As the girl walked through town, she stops and looks around where she was to see how busy the road became, more food stalls had opened and many more players have crowded the area. She smiled as she looked around to see all the people not fighting, but smiling and bonding with each other. She soon set ehr vision forward and continued her walk to wherever she needed to be. But before she could continue, her message box blink making her stop and opened her messages to talk.

"Hello, Nayu here, what's up."
"Ah Nayu, this is Shiroe.""Shiroe, ah hello, is something wrong?"
"Well, Maryelle is having one of her big fusses and won't do any work unless she gets what she wanted."
"I see, then what does this have to do involving me...It better not be to have me being used as a plush..."
"No, but if you can get a order we placed in a local bakery, maybe a pastry from the place may help her calm down."
"I see, soothe the savage beast with food, well you got it, Sargent Nayu on the case."

Nayu soon ends the call and places a jump into her step walking to the bakery that Shiroe had just messaged her. He also said that the baker will know the order when she tells them her name. So, following the directions, Nayu eventually stops at a local bakery and walks inside to be attacked by the smell of bread all around. "Hello, is anyone here?"

"Ah, a customer, come in." A elderly women comes from behind the counter and walks to Nayu. "Welcome, my name is Emily and I am the owner of this bakery along with my husband, what may I do for you?"

'Another NPC who can talk freely...' Nayu thought. "Yeah, My name is Nayu and I come from the Crescent Moon guild for a order."

"Nayu you say..." Emily begins to walk to the behind of the bakery. "Wait there, your order has already been ready."

"Yeah." Nayu called out as she begins to look at the pastry on display.

A few moments later and the elderly NPC comes out of the back with a white decorated box in hand and a paper bag in another. "Here is the order they requested, and here is something extra just cause you look cute."

"Oh, thank you!" Nayu took both things into her hands. "I'll be sure to give this pastry to the others and share the extra."

As Nayu begins to exit the bakery, Emily calls her. "Nayu wait."

"Yeah?"

"The guild also told me to make sure you get this message, "Nayu, when you receive the pastry, do not open it or else she will reject it." is what they wanted me to tell you."

"I-I see..." Nayu let out a sweat drop as she heard the message. "Well, thank you and have a nice day."

Nayu left the bakery and began her walk back to the Crescent Moon guild. On her way, she opened up the paper bag she was given to see fresh baguettes still steaming making her mouth water. "Well, I guess I can stop for a moment to eat one..."

So Nayu walked to the giant tree landmark and placed all her stuff down before feasting on the fresh bread. Eventually, she did not just settle for one, but ate all the bread in the bag. From all that food and a full stomach, her eyes began to lower. "M-Maybe...A little will do...I'm sure they won't mind..." And her eyes fully closed sending her to dream land.


DREAM LAND

"My lady, please wake up. My lady!"

'My lady, who is that? I don't care, I need to sleep...'

But a shaking of her body made Nayu squirm and eventually woke her up from her sleep. "Fine I'll get up, now what's all this trouble on-" When Nayu's eyes opened, she was fully awake to see that she was not sleeping at the big tree, but now awake in a big fancy room and her on a big bed. "What! Where am I!"

"I see you are now awake, my lady." A voice called out.

Nayu turned to the voice to see a black tux body walk out from her front door. As he eyes trailed up to the head, her eyes widen even more into sauce pans when she recognizes the face. She lifted her arm and pointed to this person in shock. "S-Shiroe! Why are you dressed like that! And where am I!"

"Now lady..." The Shiroe in the tux began to walk towards her. "Remember that a princess must never raise her voice..." As he stood next to her, he raised his hand to lower her pointed finger at him. "...And a princess must never point."

Nayu just look at his with shock still but was soon able to calm down. but in her mind was... 'OMG what is going on around here! Why is Shiroe a butler! And why am I being called a princess!'

"Then princess, may you please get out of bed so we can begin today's schedule." The butler Shiroe said as he bows down.

"O-Oh okay..." Nayu just nodded as she says that and begins to get out of bed. "If it's okay, may you please go outside so I can get ready."

"That is an order I can't follow." Shiroe stands straight up. "After last time I left you to get ready, your room was a mess and yet you were still not ready."

Shiroe begins to walk to all the nearby windows and doors and begins to lock them all down making Nayu confused. Eventually he comes back, but with a dress in one hand and a corset in another with his evil face on him. "Then...shall we get ready, my lady~?"

Nayu just looks at the closing in Shiroe with fear looking from side to side for an exit, but it was too late. "AHHH!"

A few moments later and we change to the throne room where a king and a queen were sitting at the throne waiting.

"Where is our young princess at?" The king tapped his fingers as he says that.

"Now darling, you know we must wait since a princess must take her time to look presentable." The queen placed her hands on top of the king. "Beside, today is a special day for our little princess."

"I know, and on her special day too. Is she going to be pleased."

As they talk between them, a knock was heard from the front door making the king and queen go back to being serious. The door opens and Shiroe comes through and bows to the king and queen. "Your majesties, the princess has arrived."

"I see..." The king held his chin as he says that. "Then, let her in."

"Yes." Shiroe stands straight up and walks to the door and begins to pull the door to reveal Nayu in a beautiful gown dress with a skirt that flows to the ground and long sleeves covering her arms with no poofy shoulder sleeve, and her hair was pulled to the side with a diamond tiara on the very top of her head. As she walks to the king and queen, her hands were crossed in front of her as a formal lady should. But, she is only acting like that as a threat from her butler. "good morning, dad, mom, what may I ask as of why am I here?"

"Good morning our dearest daughter, and happy birthday." The king spoke. "You are aware that you are turning a year older and are now at the age of marriage, correct?"

"Yes." Nayu looked up at the king. 'Shoot, I think I know where this is going to...'

"As our next successor, it is your duty to marry the next rightful heir of throne to help you lead our country." The king continued to speak. "Which is why later today, there will be a ball to find your future husband."

Nayu's face on the outside was a basic eyes widening and shock in her face, but on the inside..."Shoot, shoot, shoot! Why!" She was basically holding her head ans shaking it around in shock.

"Isn't it exciting Nayu, you can find your love here tonight." Her dream mom said holding the side of her head pleased. "Since this ball is to find your future husband, Shiroe, can you go and being getting Nayu ready for tonight."

"Yeah, my queen." Shiroe bowed and began to walk outside to get ready.

"Then Nayu, you are now excused to go and get ready with Shiroe for tonight." The king said.

Nayu bowed to them and exited the throne room to see evil Shiroe outside waiting for her. "Get ready for your training, my lady..."

From then til night, Shiroe gave Nayu a crash course on what to do and what not to do for the ball tonight. Eventually, Nayu took in everything and was ready for the night. The castle outside were filled with many carriages from kingdoms from all around, and most of them were potential husbands for Nayu. As Nayu looked from above, her heart began to speed up making her hold her heart to calm down. "It's okay Nayu, just breath in and breath out. It will be all okay. I hope..."

"My lady." Nayu heard from the door. "The queen and king request for you to come down and join the ball."

Nayu turns to the door. "Y-Yeah, I'll be there in a minute."

As she walks over to the door, she heard her windows clatter making her walk over to them. When she got close, she moved the curtains to see that the windows were opened. Feelings confused, she closed the windows thinking that she forgot to maybe close them. But before she could turn around, a hand went around her mouth making her shock and squirm in this hand's owner. "Hwy lwm mwn gwn!"

"Sorry princess, can't do that." The owner whispered into her ear. "I think I'm gonna take you on a little trip."

This person, who's voice seem muscular since a mask and hat covered his appearance, lifted Nayu into a bridal style and opened the window leading into the back garden. Knowing what this man was trying to do, she squirmed in his grasp to maybe let her go, but failed to. Eventually, he jumped down with her in his grasp and ran into the back woods in the dark until you couldn't see the lights of the castle. The run went on for a few more minutes until the run slowed into a walk and eventually to a stop when Nayu saw light in front of them. When they exited the woods, Nayu saw the most beautiful thing ever, a night picnic on the cliff and with the moonlight shining on them. The man placed the shock Nayu down and let her walk to the set up picnic. When she turned around to him, she just pointed a finger at him. "W-What is this, didn't you want to kidnap me?!"

"Of course I kidnapped you." The man spoke. "But just so we could spend time together."

The man began to knell down and take a box out from his pocket and opened it to reveal a diamond ring. "Since you are now the age of marriage, will you marry me, princess Nayu?"

The man began to take off his mask and hat, but before Nayu could see this man's face, a bright light covered her sight and eventually she couldn't see this person.


"Nayu, Nayu, wake up..."

Nayu squirm under this person's voice until she opened up her eyes to see the whole Crescent Moon guild with the exception of Log Horizon in front of her with Serara in front of her. "Huh, everyone, what are you all doing here?"

"You took a while getting back to the guild, so we all come out to find you." Shiroe said coming into view. "It is already night time."

"What!" Nayu jumped straight up and looked to see that he was right and that night time had arrive. "Your right, sorry I was suppose to come back bu-"

"Surprise!" Party poppers were opened and confetti was thrown to the shock Nayu. "Happy birthday, Nayu!"

Nayu just tilted her head with a blank look on her. "Eh, what?"

"What do you mean by "What?" Nayu." Naotsugu placed an arm around Nayu. "Today is your big day, your birthday, come on aren't you proud!"

"Come on Nayu, blow out the candles on your cake!" "Yeah Yeah come on!"

A light comes from the crowd and proceeds to come closer until eventually the crowd moves to the side to show Maryelle smiling with a cake in view. When Nayu got to fully see the cake, it had letters across the top saying

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAYU!

"This cake..." Nayu points at it.

"Yeah, the same cake we sent you to get, bet you were surprised that you were basically carrying your own cake." Naotusugu said.

"Come on Nayu, make a wish." Maryelle said.

Nayu just smiled and blew out the candles making everyone cheer and clap for her. Eventually, everyone just moved the party over to the big tree and everyone celebrated talking to each other or feasting on the big dinner made. As Nayu talked to her friends, she sometimes look back at the moon remembering back to the dream she had. 'That dream...I wonder who that mask man was...'
