I woke up and find myself in a world that I was addicted in. I find myself enjoying the view and enjoying the freedom. In this world, I am the boss. I can do everything. I am the strongest.
But then...
One day, something happened.
Log Horizon X S...
#Akame's POV It's already 3 weeks since we've been here inside the Home. Since that day, Aika is always missing. Aris is still on his usual habit of running around looking for girls and amusing them. Aika is not the type of person who leaves with no permission. I asked Master but he always gives a smile. It's time for me to investigate. 10:30 in the morning, she stays with fye at the kitchen. 11:30 she leaves and sneaks at the back door. I secretely followed her. I bumped on Shira while running to catch the girl. "What in the world are you doing?", Shira massaged her forehead. "Its your fault. You were on the way", Akame scolded. "Oh yeah? Then can you explain why you are running inside the safe zone. It's not that someone is going to kill you", Shira teased. I bit my lips and dragged het with me.
We ended at an orphanage house. "Why are we here?", Shira asked. "This is where Aika goes everyday?", Akame asked. "Geez, its your fault that my name is already tainted", Shira sighed. They entered and saw the children eating theit lunch plus the food Aika brought. They are the kids ages 14 and below who were caught with the apocalypse. Aika chose to travel with us than to stay here. I spotted her talking with the kids around her age and even older. I stepped closer and alarmed the kids. "It's the Scarlet Assassin!!!", the cheered. "With her is the gray fox!!!", they added. The idiot waved at them and carried some who are trying to reach her hair. "Hai! Eat well and be merry!", Shira played with them. Aika saw us and gulped. "Why are you doing this alone?", Akame asked. "I dont want to be a burden", Aika answered. "It's not a burden", Akame patted her head. "See, that idiot is already mixing with the environment. I may not be good at it but you have the rest of us", Akame smiled. "Ah, we have our hero. We'll be able to get out of this place", one kid exclaimed. "Who is it?", a council entered.

Aika was amazed with her presence. "Do we have a new family member?", C.c asked. "Sorry but she's a guild member", Shira bowed. "But the protocol says that ages 14 and below should stay at the safe zone", C.C smiled at Aika. "We have our individual choices", Akame suddenly butted in. C.C found the girls amusing so she invited them at her room. "I've been researching about teleportation gems. In this current game, we can invent and we can change the rule. This is the reason why the Council was formed. To see whether humans are doing their best to escape this game", C.C explained. "Your levels are high and you are intelligent. Why do you isolate yourself in this place? Are you scared of death?", Akame asked straightforwardly. "Sorry for her conduct", Shira bowed.
"I was also thinking of things like that before. I was scared to go out thats why when Reishi asked me to stay. I was so comforted. But then, as time goes by, I realized that this place needs me more than I think I do", C.C explained. "If only, someone could take my place, I would gladly go out to the battle field", C.C smiled.
After a long conversation, they all went back to their house to rest. It was already evening. Shiro was waiting outside the door. "How did it went? Girl's day out", Shiro asked. "We visited the orphanage and had a conversation with one of the Council. Her name is C.C", Aika informed. "I see but next time, you have to inform the older ones. They are really worried about you", Shiro smiled and welcomed them inside. Akame shivered knowing that Shira will tease her afterwards.
Inside Log Horizon's Guild House. Compose of 3 stories and one underground. First floor is for living room and kitchen plus the dinning room. Second and third are rooms. Undergound is for training. "Shiro, we'll be eating now", Fye called her attention. They are now sitted at the table. "Guys, I have a favour", Shiro opened. "Would you go to another expedition with me?", Shiro asked. "Why not?!", Akame and Aika was excited. Shiro's eyes widened. "Why are you acting as if you're not our guild master?", Shira asked. Aris gave a thumbs up. Fye smiled and nodded. "As long as there is a good food and a place to sleep", Rin pouted. "Rin is just too shy", Fye teased.
That night, telepathy was already fixed. Shira checked on Saruhiko's name but it was missing. New rule: Your previous guild members will be black listed from you contact list. Shira entered her room and sighed. She changed into her pajama and went out of the terrace.
Shirayuki's POV There is wind in this place. You can feel the breeze even if it's inside a game. Why? Because we ought to believe that we are feeling it. The game is fooling us by playing our brains. We feel full even if we arent eating real foods. I wonder how is my real body right now. Why do we have our real features right now? Because, the instruction is to touch the parts of our body in order to create further information. One more theory, is because the game can interfere with our memories.
This is not the real world but I have to accept that it is my current reality. If I dont, I wont move forward. I met amazing people whom I can rely into. I dont want responsibilities so I ran from it. I hope this guild will last.
