Chapter 2

"First order of business. Scouts have confirmed a general lay out of info about the new world we are in. There have been traces of Yggdrasil found. Especially items, hence we will need to reach more information."

Toshizou raised his voice "So in other words you wish to become more famous through something like a Guild?"

I nodded as I pointed to the map the scout had delivered with the marked locations. "This here is the adventurer's guild. I'll register us as a group and if there are any other players here they should recognise the name Shinsengumi. Meaning we'll have to get grinding again."

Saitou got up as he tied his cord tassels together. "Then let's go together."

I nodded as we all geared up before another scout came in "A new location has been found behind our base over the small forest. A small town."

I stared at him thinking before I pointed at the map "Mark it down and we'll be back after a while."

"Let's move."

[Gate]

~~~~

We all stepped out of the gate as the swirling portal closed. While swordsman were not allowed too many magics, teleportation using magic was unfortunately something not allowed to them but skills on the other hand? That was a different matter. Thankfully the few utility spells like [Gate] were allowed to them.

The guards seemed to be on guard as they hand hands on swords. To be fair I would be too if I noticed some people that weren't there a few seconds ago when you looked away especially if they were wearing the same thing and part of the same group.

I walked up to the guards before they held their swords out. "Halt" I stopped before they continued "Business here in E-rantel?" I held my hands out to show I meant no harm. "Just here to register me and my group as a party for the Adventurer's Guild."

I produced a small silver coin from my pockets before I asked "How much is the entry fee?" They replied "Just a silver sir."

I placed the coin into their hands before each of the other members did so too.

"The guards where an oddity. I presume that something felt wrong about us?" Kojiro folded his arms as he kept trying to think why they were stopped.

Toshizou was scaring away everyone that saw his scowling face. Poor Toshizou, his avatar's default face was already menacing and when he tried to smile it would backfire badly. The guild doors opened as I stepped in and took a quick survey of the place, a habit born from awareness. Making sure to take notice of all the exits and possible threats I deemed there where none. If there where a player here they would have long approached us. Our Coat of Oaths was something unique to the Shinsengumi.

A quick registration was enough until I spotted something out of the corner of my eye. "Full Plate-mail?" Saitou was the first to notice my eyes widen as his head darted to the adventurer on the second floor with a woman. He too noticed what I saw as his hands rested on Kunishige.

My had itched ready to draw Norimune from the spacial pocket I kept my katanas in. Nothing happened as I motioned for Saitou to stand down. The rest had long finished and kept an eye on the dark warrior as I finished our registration before asking the reception lady "Excuse me, can you tell me who that person up there is?"

A small blush rose on her face as I glared at my giggling team. "He's an Adamantite adventurer, Momon and that over there is Nabe. They are called Darkness."

Toshizou tapped my arm twice secretly as I nodded before thanking her and walking out. Saitou giggled until my hand found its grasp on his neck "I think we need to have a talk don't we Shabbygumi?"

He squeaked in fear "Help me Toshizou!"

"Aren't you the invincible blade?" He smirked as I dragged him away.

"But he's the fearsome blade!"

"Shut up!"

Saitou later came back with me as his face was bruised up making him look even more shabbier. Truly worthy of the nickname Shabbygumi.

"That was-"

"Yeah definitely."

"Relic Class Full Plate-Mail. Yggdrasil. Moreover that name... Momon."

Izo yelped as Toshizou slapped him on the head "If you know something then say it!" Clutching his head he growled before responding "Kinda sounds like Momonga from Ainz Ooal Gown. You know the other guild that was a few places below us? He was the guild leader, a spell caster."

I nodded "We'll operate under the assumption that Ainz Ooal Gown exists here."

Izo then again spoke "But I think we missed something."

Ryouma walked out of the guild doors from behind us carrying a sheet of paper. "We forgot to grab a quest."

Oryou floated behind him constantly following him everywhere he went as she handed us each a quest sheet.

"Thanks Ryouma."

I looked at it and immediately regretted thanking him.

"Screw you Ryouma or Oryou, one of you plotted this."

[Investigate an Unknown Tomb]

"You've got to be shitting me."

"First our suspicion that Ainz Ooal Gown exists here and the fact that Momonga might be here with us. And now a mysterious unknown tomb? Why is this sounding like the Tomb of Nazarick?"

Ryouma grimaced "That's also the reason I chose this. To ascertain if Nazarick is really here. All of us have [Magic Resistance] of at least B ranked." And all of us being Level 100 should be able to handle the Npc's or Momonga due to him being a spell caster."

I stared at the piece of paper.

"Your decision captain."

I took a deep breath before making my decision. "Let's go, but if things go south we immediately retreat."

"Slay evil immediately."

"Shinsengumi rendezvous point at the the starting time for the investigation."

"See you all there in a few hours. Prep anything you need from the guild base."

"Shinsengumi move!"
