Woah that was a whole quest?! Well, thanks for the extra level! Though this time around it really feels like I really didn't do anything at all... Nonetheless, I appreciate the blueprints.

And a mushroom castle, huh? This reminds of a Mario Bros...

"W-Well, this was sudden but you're all welcome! I suppose you've already meet the Mushroom Brigade?" I asked the chief.

"Oh yes, that band of very competent lads! We've indeed seen them." Said the Myconid chief. "They remind me of the ancient heroes of our stories, it almost feels like they were revived or something, hahaha!"

"Y-Yeah, hahaha..." I laughed along.

I better not tell them they're the real ones, this poor grandpa can barely handle walking, he probably won't be able to take on such news really well.

"Lady Planta, hurry! Queen Titania and everyone else is waiting for you! Myconid Chief, let's go!" Said Acorn, hurrying us up. "Wait Acorn! Where are my friends? Have you seen them?"

"They're already there!" Acorn said.

"Oh! Okay then..." I felt slightly surprised he was being so pushy, but it was probably because this meeting was really important.

I quickly brought the Myconid chief with me over Belle towards the Chief Meeting Hall, a large building I had built before logging off yesterday. The chief was brought over my legs, he was really tiny. The old grandpa was giggling like a child as he was carried by Belle. Myconid are sure adorable even when old.

As I finally arrived at the wooden-made hall, I was greeted by Titan and Achlys in there, or well, Mark and Rita, and Lily too! And there was also Titania, Acorn's grandpa, the Gnomes and Brownies Chief, and... Huh?!

"Hey Planta! How are you doing?" It was a beautiful vampire queen.

"Huh, you're finally back, my nemesis." Said DarkReaper.

"We've been waiting for you for a while now!" Angelina sighed.

The four guild masters that were already my friends, the number one ranker, and my daughter's player were here too! Why though?! Well, I am happy my little Elena's here but why is Angelina in here? And Black Haze has nothing to do with us either!

"W-What's going on?!" I asked to my friends.

"W-Well, they insisted in coming." Sighed Titan.

"Fear not, it seems it is for good things." Titania said.

"Yeah, I am mostly a bystander here though! But I've been protecting your place while you were off, so you should be grateful." Giggled Black Haze half-teasingly.

"I want a rematch..." My daughter looked at me with deadly eyes, which were glowing redder. Her friends must be around, but were not invited here.

But taking things into consideration, nobody else than my close friends know she's my daughter, why did she joined this meeting at all? Or was her intimidating presence enough to make everyone here agree to anything she demanded?

Sigh...

Everyone, I am sorry for my daughter's disrespectful behavior!

"Okay, can I get an explanation now?" I sighed, sitting down in my overly luxurious chair.

Interestingly enough, this chair was crafted by the gnomes for me. It resembled a very beautiful, and detailed throne that made me look down on everyone due to how high it was. And it was all made of the finest wood they could find, decorated by jewels mined from the underground caves.

"Well, we've introduced your NPC friends about the Guild and its many things, and they seem to want to join it." Said Angelina. "I don't remember about this before, but I've investigated with everyone else on the internet, and it seems possible for NPC to join Guilds made by players, as long as they have a high "bond level" with the Guild Master."

"It would be amazing if we could join the guild!" Said Acorn's grandfather.

"Yeah, even as a Queen of Fairies, I would gladly become a member below your command, Planta." Titania said with a sincere smile.

"I agree." The Myconid Chief said.

"Me too!" The Gnome chief said. "Also, milady, do you enjoy your new chair? We've crafted it specially for you! All my people put their sweat and blood into it to finish it before you came back!"

"I-I see... And I do love it, thank you." I smiled back at the Gnome chief.

"So, anyways... I guess that's that. I was already planning on inviting you guys, I don't know why this whole meeting was necessary..." I sighed. "I am more interested in why Black Haze is here. And Dark Reaper, dear?"

"I am here as a bystander. I am planning to see if my guild could make an alliance with yours, but it would be better to see your future achievements before deciding." She said. "My guild is the strongest in the whole server and making an alliance with yours would mean a lot for you and us as well."

"I see, so you want to see if we deserve it?" I sighed. "I am not really interested in this alliance so-"

"Wait, Planta!" Titan suddenly stopped me. "Think your words more carefully, she's incredibly important!"

Suddenly, he started using the private whisper function, which was pretty much like a private voice chat.

"If we can make them all our allies, fighting the next demon king would become way more easily if we can coordinate things correctly!"

"A-AH! You're right..."

The Blood Roses Guild was really powerful, having them all to our command to fight the next demon king might be crucial for our next victory...

I guess I cannot just dismiss her now.
