Chapter 121 - A Chaotic Start

After Ainz is done giving the announcement, everyone starts to form their own group.

After everyone is done dividing the group, most board the aircraft carrier because all the Chat Group members are definitely participating in the mission to earn contributions points. Naturally, the companions they brought also joined them.

So, on the cruise ship is only the group lead by Morgan and Ravel. But the girls raise a question, they also want to have fun with everyone to explore and fight in this new world. Not just going on a relaxing vacation.

"Ainz, can't we just go together? I reckon it's safer that way, for both groups." Ravel said while looking at Ainz and Morgan who gathered up to figure out a solution.

"Indeed, my husband did tell me about what adversaries we should expect from this world and those Sea Kings and Pirates are indeed formidables." Morgan explained while looking out at the sea.

Ainz gave their words a thought and figured they might as well go together since everyone wanted to anyway.

"Alright then, we all will proceed together on the cruise ship. It's more fun and enjoyable that way." Ainz agreed because it is better if they concentrate their force in one ship than both.

Also, he wouldn't decline going with their group since Morgan's group is much stronger than the Chat Group combined.

As such, everyone boarded the cruise ship instead and immediately set off to gather information and their bearings before looking for the key figures such as the Straw Hat Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates and the prison, Impel Down.

On board the cruise ship, while the ship itself can sail automatically and require only simple instructions for the AI to work with. Ainz would stay on the captain's deck to make sure everything went smoothly.

As for the rest, they are roaming the rest of the ship finding things to do and have fun.

Rimuru, Hajime and Subaru's group are exploring the wonders of modern technology, since they are from a fantasy world, the novelty of modern entertainment is quite attractive to them. They mostly explore the massive cruise ship, from the loud and eye-catching casino and arcades to movie rooms and countless other attractions that are filled with members of other groups that are having fun having escaped their world such as Shiroe's group.

Also Ainz group which is either staying close with Ainz himself like Albedo and Shalltear, the dark elf twins and the other NPCs having fun at the attractions or Demiurge that is plotting whatever crazy plans he is about to do to take over the world once more.

Then there's Kazuma himself. From the moment he boards the ship, not even his shadow can be seen. He was actually playing a horror game of hide and seek with Kirito in the lower deck while Kirito is sifting through each room looking for Kazuma to beat his ass now that they are finally face to face instead of behind a screen.

As for loner like Tanya and also the newcomer, Lloyd. They are sitting at the deck with fishing rods and beer, enjoying their vacation with relaxing activities instead of worrying about their problems at hand.

Sakura was on the front deck of the cruise ship with a few of her sister's, Jack and Ophis.

"Wow! This looks amazing! Can I swim?" Jack was jumping around near the railings and pointing at the open sea with dolphins jumping around with other sea creatures not seen on normal Earth.

"No. We already have a pool for that. It's more fun with slides too."

Sakura dissuaded Jack from trying to jump into the sea for a swim. But then she noticed Ophis was salivating while looking at the sea creatures jumping out of the water.

"Ophis! No, you cannot eat them." Sakura quickly reminds Ophis.

Ophis turn to Sakura with a confused look and asked,

"Why?"

"They are cute animals. We cannot eat them." Sakura simply said, not knowing how else to dissuade Ophis who is salivating for a good dolphin fillet.

"Okay…" Ophis turned dejected and took out a cookie from her pouch to munch on.

When Sakura turned back to look at Jack, her heart almost jumped out of her throat when Jack was standing on the railing, mid jump.

"Not on my watch!" Sakura quickly summoned a tentacle from her shadow and caught Jack by her ankle and pulled her back to the deck.

Jack was pulled back to the deck and sat there with a cute pout and arm cross in a protest.

"The slides are not fun. I want to swim in the ocean and catch some fishies." She muttered which left Sakura helpless.

Sakura can't deal with these two. She isn't like Sirin, who has a commanding aura that can make them listen.

"Ah, finally we found you, Young Miss Sakura." A familiar voice said.

Sakura turned around and saw the Homunculus Maid that her Uncle Ainz brought along.

"Miss Pestonya?"

"I deed I am. Your mother, Lady Ravel, borrowed us from Lord Ainz to help look after your sisters since we have no other task to attend to at the meantime." The dog-headed maid said while making a curtsey along with the other Homunculus Maid.

Sakura sighed at the godsend help and accepted their offer eagerly. Then, the maids gathered around Jack and Ophis before offering to take Jack to have fun on the attractions and also bring Ophis over to the buffet halls that now have foods being cooked and served by the machines manning the area.
