Log Horizon: Alien Chronicles Volume 1

Ch.35

Shiroe smirked, adjusting his glasses while standing up before the twelve people before him, all seated at a round table or the one chibi sitting on the table. The operation went better than expected, now I can focus purely on the meeting. Thankfully, everyone arrived. "Thank you all for taking the time to come today." Shiroe said with a slight bow. "I'm Shiroe of the guild Log Horizon."

"No need for big introductions, Shiroe of the Tea Party," Isaac of the Black Sword Knights chuckled, "Though, can you explain why Las Boss is sitting on the table? Isn't that a bit rude?"

"Dum daa daa daa!" Las Boss chimed, snapping his finger for several screens to appear showing Sandaime Hokage sitting at a desk with an old woman and man behind them. "We have video conference up, through smart way for a low tech selfie, Old Man." Boss said as Shiroe realized the Hokage was using a mirror to reflect what he was seeing as his eyes were recording what was showing on the windows.

Good, with what Boss told me, Konoha might end up a part of Akiba if the two worlds really do combine. Hence we need it to be a part of this. Shiroe thought, though sweating with seeing the Hokage talking but no sound.

"Ah, it's just an Earth trend, I think something about taking a picture of yourself. I don't get it either." Boss sighed, sheepishly scratching his head, "Well, sorry for that. Just this really takes a lot out of me, so I wanted to only turn it on once everyone was here. Everyone here knows me as Las Boss and I am Log Horizon's second in command. Though I am a part of this meeting, I will also be also communicating for Sarutobi Hiruzen or Sandaime Hokage to many of you. This is so all members of the Hidden Leaf Trade Alliance will be present for this meeting."

"Hidden Leaf Trade Alliance?" William of the Silver Sword asked, "Why are we here, exactly? And what is this alliance you speak up."

"I will explain the Hidden Leaf Trade Alliance first." Shiroe said, "The Hidden Leaf Trade Alliance is a trade agreement between the guilds Grandeur, Radio Market, West Wind Brigade, Crescent Moon Alliance, and Log Horizon along with the village Konohagakure of Fire Country in the Noosphere server."

"Wait, isn't the expansion called Homesteading the Noosphere?" Krusty of D.D.D. asked, adjusting his glasses.

"Correct. Part of the expansion includes new cities and content through a series of events that seems possibly to be true. Hence why we formed an alliance with Konohagakure's current Hokage to ensure them a seat at this conference. From Boss's knowledge as part of the director  that server is that Konohagakure would end up as Akiba's neighbor if what Log Horizon's exploration discovery is confirmed. This is also the reason I have brought you all here for input and aid over Akihabara's current state." Shiroe took a deep breath.

"As you know, ever since the Catastrophe, we have been trapped in this world. As far as we know, there is no known means to return to our old world at the moment. Hence I wish to keep the situation of Akihabara from getting any worse. My only goal is to improve the situation here in Akihabara and Konohagakure."

"Then I am out." William said, standing up. "We are a combat guild. We do not care for the state of the city. It is just a hub for us to sell and gain items." William walked away from the table, heading to the doors where two of his guilds members were waiting. "Let those who care about the city solve its issues. I don't believe there's anything wrong with this discussion. I just think it is a waste of time. Regardless, we aren't interested," William said, fully exiting the room before the doors closed behind him.

That's one out. Shiroe thought, frowning. Boss, what's going on with the Hokage's side?

The naggers that are the Old Man's advisors are confused by Silver Sword withdrawing, though the Old Man understands the situation. Shiroe listened to Las Boss's voice in his head. However, amaze only Silver Sword left, but best block off the exit before we lose too many.
