A Guild For The Sake of a Single Person is the one hundredth and sixty-fourth chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
The Light team has made their way to Caitshelter, Wendy's guild. Lucy, Sherry and Wendy are trying on and comparing clothes. Wendy explains that the entire village that they're in is a part of the guild and that the clothing business is thriving. Lucy then asks her if the clothes were made in some sort of traditional Nirvit Style. Wendy replies that she doesn't know. The girls then invite a sullen looking Erza who is seated in a corner to try on some clothes. She agrees. Sherry then asks her when Caitshelter joined the league of guilds, as she has never heard of it before. Lucy also begins to wonder about that.

Later, Roubaul, the Guildmaster of Caitshelter congratulates and thanks the group for destroying Nirvana. The rest of the guildmembers of Caitshelter smile at them in gratitude too. Natsu then shouts out that it's time to have a party. Then Ichiya and the Blue Pegasus members present begin dancing. Prompting the Fairy tail members to also join them. Lamia Scale and Cait Shelter just stare at the group. However, they are interrupted by Roubaul, who apologizes for hiding their Legacy as Nirvit.

He then tells them that they (Caitshelter) are not the descendents of the Nirvit, but the Nirvit themselves. He then goes on to explain that he, himself created the Inversion Magic Nirvana to stop the Wars raging across the planet. While, it worked for awhile and the Nirvit enjoyed Peace, living atop Nirvana, things began to go wrong. He explains that there must always be balance, and as a result, the Darkness erased from the hearts of people so far began to immerse itself within the hearts of the Nirvit, eventually making them kill each other, leaving Roubaul the sole survivor, and effectively the guardian of Nirvana.

He then tells the stunned group, that his physical form is long gone, and that he is little more than a faint ghost atoning for sins of his past. At this point, a hurt Wendy breaks down and begins crying, disbelieving what Roubaul said. He then begins to explain the truth about Caitshelter.

Wendy begs them not to go. Roubaul then consoles Wendy and tells her that she and Charle no longer need a foster family, as they now have real friends. Roubaul thanks everyone one last time for destroying Nirvana and freeing him of his burden and then fades away too.

Wendy lies on the ground, crying. Erza then crouches down before her and consoles her, telling her to bury the sadness of losing her family in the comfort of being with her friends. Wendy looks up at her and stops crying. She then invites Wendy and Charle to join Fairy Tail.
