Oblivious Heart - (A Male Reader x Rinko Shirokane Fanfiction)

Chapter 9 - Forming an Alliance

"Now that everyone's here... Homiru-san! You ought to just go ahead and say it!" Saito said.

Yes.

This is why I asked Saito to gather everyone here today.

A little while back, me and Saito were planning on starting a guild. It'll be your typical guild. It's a place where we can just hang out and have fun. We're not really the competitive type, so I kind of wanted to look for more people that are looking forward to the same vision as we are.

And from the time that I've started the game, and up until this point, I know just the right people to invite to the guild.

"Everyone, I have an announcement to make." I said.

"Me and Saito have been thinking of starting a guild... and we want to invite everyone that's in this room. That is... if you're all okay with it." I said.

"But before you guys give me your answers, I want you guys to hear me out first..." I said.

.

.

"The guild I plan to make is a guild where everyone can have fun and do whatever they want." I said.

Shiina-san then immediately spoke up.

"I'm in!" She suddenly said.

"Wait I haven't-" I was stopped.

"If your goal is to make a place for everyone here where we can be ourselves and have fun, then I'm willing to walk with you! Every mile! and see it through with you till the end." She stated.

I don't know what got into Shiina-san all of a sudden... But she sounds like she's really into the goal that I'm proposing....

How could I possibly turn down an answer like that?

"Thank you Shiina-san.." I said.

I haven't finished what I wanted to say, but I'm glad I already reached someone's heart.

"Of course you can count me in on that!" Saito said.

"Well duh, we were the one that planned this whole thing, of course you're in!" I accidentally retorted.

Wow, that was nice.

"I know you're gonna need me in it so... I'll make myself at home then~" Yuna-san said.

"Well then my servant! I am pleased and am amused to see your conviction for all this! We're joining too aren't we Rinrin?" Ako-san said.

"Yes of course." Rinrin answered.

Everyone... I'm really glad I can bring everyone in on this....

"I haven't finished what I had planned to say but... I guess that's fine!" I said.

"Hold on, we're forgetting something important!" Saito said.

"What is it?" I asked.

.
.
."

"What's our guild name?" He asked.

.
.
.
.
.

This never crossed my mind. I totally forgot that we needed a name! But since I had just recently realized who the people that I wanted in this guild... I really don't have any idea what to name the guild...

"How about Night Parade?" Ako-san suggested.

Wait, that's actually pretty cool.... but I don't think it fits all of us....

"Silver Knights?" Shiina-san suggested.

Your avatar's hair might be white, but I know for a fact that you have silver hair in real life!!

"SAITO SQUAD!!!" He suggested.

He's not even trying to hide it anymore.

Who knew picking a guild name would be so difficult... I've got nothing in my head as of the moment...

"Everyone, don't you think we should let the leader decide the name?" Yuna-san said.

"But I don't have anything on me at the moment..." I replied.

"It doesn't have to be right now, you can take your time Anon-kun. We can wait for you." She added.

Yuna-san....

"Alrighty then, I'll see what I can do. But you've got to give me a week or so to try and think of one!" I said.

I've mentioned this before, but I don't back down from challenges!

"Now that that's all wrapped up, we should all go and do our own stuff for now!" Yuna-san suggested.

"You're probably right!" Shiina said.

"After all I am kind of busy with some requests made by some players from the Top 50's." Yuna-san said.

"Don't tell me..." Saito assumes.

"Yes. These people are trying to conquer the current hardest dungeon in this game... The Hearth of Ifrit." Yuna-san stated.

.
.
.

The Hearth of Ifrit is a large scale dungeon that was made to be conquered by a party. Going solo is most definitely not the option if you want to explore this dungeon, let alone clear it.

It offers players new and high-grade weapons, and a whole variety of new artifacts to be found.

It's been out along with the Voice Chat update. I didn't think other's from the Top 50 would be so quick about this.

Oh well... the updates been out for 4 days now after all.... I just assumed it would take them atleast a week to prepare.

Wait.... that's it!

"Well then, if you'll excuse me... I'll be in my smithing area~" Yuna-san said.

"Everyone! That's it!" I said.

"What's it?" Saito asked.

Everyone's attention is currently on me.

"We're going to clear that dungeon!" I stated.

"You mean the Hearth of Ifrit?! Isn't the difficulty on that one really high? Do you really think we can clear it??" Shiina asked.

"We don't have to clear it! I just want to see how far we can go with everyone here! I thought that it'll be a good way for us to bond and get to know each other more..." I said.

What was that? I'm pretty sure I killed the mood I started.

"When will we attempt it?" Yuna-san asked.

"A week from now!" I answered.

"Shouldn't we plan for it?" Rinrin asked.

"Exactly! We'll use tomorrow as our planning phase! How kany of you are free tomorrow and at around what time?" I asked.

"I'm free!" Shiina, Saito, and Yuna-san said.

"Rinrin, do we have practice tomorrow?" Ako-san asked.

"I'm pretty sure we don't have practice tomorrow... Although I'm pretty sure Yukina-san asked us to gather tomorrow because she wants to hear our opinion on the new song." Rinrin answered.

Song? What's this about? Are both Rinrin and Ako-san in a band or something?

"Hey everyone....how about we do it in a family restaurant?" Shiina-san recommended.

"Wait.... you're telling me that..." Saito phrased.

"You want to host an offline meetup...?" I finished his sentence for him.

"Yes...." Shiina-san replied.
