8th Shopping District Center

8th Shopping District Center ("Shopping Street 8" in the Crunchyroll translation of the anime) is a major production guild in Elder Tale.



Overview
Started as a chatting guild then transformed into a production guild, 8th Shopping Street is the third largest production guild in Akiba. It's named after the hour 8pm, which was the most prosperous time to do business before the apocalypse when Elder Tale was still just a game.

After the Apocalypse, 8th Shopping District Center continued with its normal operations, but became extremely interested in the Crescent Moon Refreshment Stand and its ability to make food with actual taste. After some underhanded negotions with Henrietta, 8th Shoppind District Center, along with the Oceanic Systems and the Roderic Merchant Guild, succeeded in creating a Steam Engine, thereby setting off a revolution in industry and economy.
