Log Horizon - ep04

Now that they arrived at Susukino, they need to prepare for the hardest part of their journey. First thing is that they need to meet Serara inside the city because otherwise if they died with her out in the field they would return back to Akihabara while she would return to Susukino. That to prevent that they meet up inside the town. That when they meet up Shiroe is surprised by who her protect is, that it is his old friend Nyantan. That when he sees Shiroe, Nyantan perceive this as a sign from above for him to leave Susukino as well. The fact that Nyantan is coming with them back to Akihabara relieves Serara.

Although the issue of leaving isn't going to be so simple, that Shiroe is already expecting them to be planning to ambush them as soon as they leave Susukino. However Shiroe has a plan to deal with Demikas, that by forcing him to fight a one vs one match by question his strength they won't have to deal with the others. The reason for this is Demikas rule by strength but if he is no-longer seen as the strongest by his followers his guild will fall apart. Although when Akatsuki see the plan being silent carried out she is envious of how well Nyantan and Naotsugu seamlessly work together with Shiroe but sees as something beyond her reach. Now with Demikas finished things are not quite finished yet they still have make it all the way back to Akihabara, which won't be difficult with a third griffon. The question is if Akatsuki will want to leave the group once they get back to Akihabara because she can't perform at the same level as Nyantan and Naotsugu.
