When the girls heard about another trip to another world with the Chat Group members which they see as Ray's friends. They are beyond ecstatic.
"Will daddy join us?" Sirin asked over the video call with Ray.
"Nope. Your mother and I still have our honeymoon to finish, Sirin." Ray replied with a weird expression and grunt over the call which made Sirin suspicious. But she didn't bring it up.
"Hmph. It wouldn't be fun without daddy with us." Sirin argued while her sister sitting around her nodded except for Ophis who continued to watch the TV shows about food tours without any care in the world while pulling out the exact food from the show from her magic pouch.
"Well, it's your choice. If you want to go or not. I wouldn't force you or your sisters if you all didn't want to." Ray said. But the disappointment in his face is clear as day that the trips he arranged were disliked by them.
Hearing such disappointment, even if Sirin wouldn't budge. The more obedient Sakura, Abby and Jack did. And under the pressure, Sirin eventually gave in and sighed.
"F-Fine! I'll go! Happy now?" Sirin relented over the call.
"Of course, of course." Adam smiled and said. "I know you all will definitely enjoy the fun trip. Just make sure to listen to your mothers, Morgan and Ravel. Also your uncle, Ainz. Anyway, love you girls. Bye." Ray's expression turned weird before he hurried to close the call which looked extremely fishy.
Sirin looked at the end call with a dark frown. In her mind, she can pretty much tell Ray and Kuroka are doing something dirty behind the screen.
"Sister, what should we pack for the trip?" Sakura asks as Abby and Jack are also excited for the trip and already rushed up stairs to their rooms.
"Well, dad said we are going to sail on a ship. But he glossed over the rest of the details. So, how about we ask Ravel first?" Sirin suggested.
"Sister, Ravel is now our mother too. Are you going to keep denying our father's will?"
"Hmph, so what? Not like I hate her or anything. It's just irritating to see her cheat her way to the finish line like that." Sirin said bitterly but more on herself for not daring to do it and the opportunity was snatched by someone else.
"Sister…" Sakura sighed, not knowing what else to say as she left to find Ravel.

A bit later, Sakura walks to the front of the mansion after Sakuya told her that Ravel is greeting her mother, Lady Phenex.
"Ara, isn't it my lovely granddaughter. Come, give grandmother a hug." Her overly friendly grandmother cooed and called as soon as Sakura emerged at the front door.
Like an obedient granddaughter she is, Sakura approached Lady Phenex who snatched her from her feet and brought her to her lap as she was assaulted with hugs.
For Sakura, this feeling of being loved isn't unpleasant. In fact, she enjoyed it. She enjoyed all the attention and love showered on her which helped her forget about her terrible past.
So, there she sat on her grandmother's lap and received head rubs as Lady Phenex conversed with her daughter, Ravel.
"So, how long will you all go on the trip?"
"Hmn?" Ravel snapped back to reality when she was asked a question. "Not sure. But it shouldn't be longer than a month." Ravel replied unsurely.
"A whole month! Will it be alright for your baby? Should I lend you some of the caretakers to help take care of you? How about some chefs too? You need to take good care of your nutrition as a pregnant mother. Als—"
"Mother, it's fine. I got everything covered. No need for you to worry." Ravel calms her panicking mother.
"Besides, we aren't going with just ourselves. But with Morgan, husband's second wife and her daughters and also his friends. We will definitely be alright." Ravel said with a sigh after Lady Phenex finally calmed down but she was showering attention on Sakura a little too rigorously which left her hair ruffled.
"Even so, I cannot help but worry, Ravel. You are carrying your first born. The first born of the Phenex Clan amongst your sibling's generation. If anything happened…" Lady Phenex didn't finish her words, fearing she might jinx it.
"Don't worry, mother. You know who my husband is. He wouldn't leave me without proper protection." Ravel shows the ring on her finger which when inspected carefully, exudes a powerful and indescribable sensation. "Also I should remind you that he also has Ophis as his daughter and she is coming with us."
"Hmn. Fine then. Don't forget to take a lot of pictures too." Lady Phenex is immediately convinced when Ophis is mentioned.
While Ray's power is unknown and shrouded in mystery, Ophis is quite well known and easier to trust.
After doing what she intended to achieve, Lady Phenex left but not before handing the gifts she brought. Mostly supplies for their trip.
After that, Ravel and Sakura returned to help the rest of the girls pack up their stuff because they are going to depart in a few more hours.

A few hours later, on an unknown island.
The originally deserted island suddenly turns bustling with numerous people appearing at the same time.
"Alright. Attention, everyone." Ainz called when the crowd turned rowdy, excitedly discussing what they were going to do next.
Once Ainz has everyone's attention, he begins.
"So, because Admin isn't here with us today. I will take his task of explaining everything." He said as the crowd quieted down.
"For the Mission this time, we would need to sail the sea to a place called Impel Down to rescue a certain person. It is bound to be dangerous. Therefore, those who did not wish to participate can form another group and simply enjoy a vacation. The Admin already sent me a map and list of places that are safe and suitable for a vacation."
"Wait, you said we are going to sail on the sea. But where is our ship?" Kazuma raised his hand and asked.
Ainz then flew above the sea and caused two ships to appear. One is a luxurious cruise ship and another is an aircraft carrier. Both are quite massive and futuristic looking.
"These are the two ships Admin provided to us. All are fully staffed by robots. So you all can choose to participate in the mission or go on a vacation." Ainz points at the aircraft carrier and then the cruise ship.
