the plan of reformation

it has been some time since the group returned from susukino, currently, the group of four, shiroe,naotsugu,nyanta, and Akatsuki were wearing serious expressions as they sat opposite to the shinobi duo of ren and yuuji, shiroe then started talking,

"yesterday evening, after the party, i talked with Marie and came to know that larger guilds are starting to oppress the smaller guilds and some guilds are holding new players hostage for their exp pots," he said to which ren raised an eyebrow and asked,

"exp pot??" shiroe continued to explain,

"they are potions distributed to new players below level 30 every day so that they could level up faster and enjoy the game," he said to which the shinobi duo exclaimed,

"such things exist??, wait, if it is a common phenomenon for adventurers then the world council must have known about this, just a minute I'll be back," yuuji said and disappeared using shunshin,

sometime later he came back with a grim expression,

"it seems that there are already cases of shinobi attacking Newby adventurers for the exp pots, but fortunately the prison scrolls were completed in time and the said attackers are trapped in the scrolls until further notice, however, the council has put a strict ban on the consumption of exp pots for the shinobi and anyone who disobeys will get a one way ticket to the prison scroll" he said to which ren sighed in relief,

if the worst of the shinobi were to know about the existence of such a cheat like object existing, then they would not hesitate to kill the newbie adventurers and then camp at the cathedral to steal from them every time they revive, an given the level and combat experience difference between the shinobi and the adventurers, they would not be able to do anything against the shinobi,

shiroe then started talking,

"i talked to one of my acquaintance, a 14-year-old girl called minori, she and her brother had been also trapped by one such guild called Hamlin, i realized that if things proceeded like this, then the city will fall apart sooner or later, so i am going to change it" he said with determination which impressed the shinobi duo, ren then asked,

"what do you wish to do shiroe?"

"i want to ask you to join the guild i created, log horizon, after that, i plan on forming a council just like what you shinobi had created," he said to which the shinobi duo discussed between themselves for some time, ren then asked,

"Why do you wish for us to join you shiroe? as far as we can tell, all of you are friends from before, but we two are complete strangers that you had met a month ago" he asked to which shiroe smiled but it was nyanta who replied,

"although i was suspicious of you two, in the beginning, i soon realized that even though your kind is ruthless and unpredictable, a majority of you have actually tried to stabilize the world which was in chaos after the catastrophe, i have also personally seen that you are quite good people, so i suggested shiroe to give you an invitation" he said to the surprised shinobi, ren smiled and said,

"very well, we will join your guild, but i must first infor-" " no need ren, i already informed the council and they have appointed you as the official representative of all the shinobi on the Japanese server,so should the adventurers form a council of their own then you would be representing us as a whole" yuuji interrupted and grinned to the dumbfounded ren

"WHAT??, WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE REPRESENTATIVE??" ren shouted to which yuuji smirked and said,

"There are many reasons, but the main one is because you are the very first shinobi in the world to have unlocked the sage subclass," he said to the depressed ren

a few days ago news got out that the third subclass was completely ridiculous when a player wishes to choose the subclass, they are presented with a lottery where there are many subclasses including the rare ones, but if one's luck is bad enough, then they would end up getting nothing and the third subclass will be blacked forever for said player, thus not many people dared to use it, but since ren already had a rare class and rare subclass, he decided to go for it and the result made even those in the world council green with envy, he got the rare subclass of sage, he also got a bonus item called Uzumaki sealing techniques which was the very first legendary rank item anyone had found after the catastrophe,

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

the next day shiroe had informed Henrietta and Marie about the plan and his guild, Marie ended up crying because of happiness, this made the shinobi wonder just how much of a loner shiroe was,

soon things started to escalate as crescent moon established a food store to sell real food, later on, Henrietta along with Marie managed to fool the leaders of shopping street 8, Roderic merchants guild and marine agency, karashin, Roderic, and michitaka, into giving them 5 million gold,

shiroe then used the money to buy the guildhall, which, supposedly is a very important location for adventurers,

he then sent invitation letters to the major guilds in Akihabara, D.D.D, black sword knights, honesty, west wind brigade, silver sword, marine agency, Roderic merchant guild, shopping street 8, grandeur, radio market,

in the meanwhile, the responsibility of rescuing the trapped kids from Hamlin was given to the shinobi council which they accepted as a token of goodwill

this brings us to the current situation,

all the major guild masters were gathered in the conference hall of the guild building,

shiroe got up from his seat and said

"Let us begin"
