Currently at an extremely large table was 36 different women were seated, perched or in a small ornate tub matching the theme of the other chairs. The room itself had the colors black, white, gold, silver, and green everywhere with the center table itself being made of lapis lazuli, jade, and turquoise blended together beautifully with a golden rim outlining the table itself. At the largest of the chairs sat Alphae von Walpurgisnacht the Divine Sovereign of the Walled Empire of Walpurgisnacht.
"Alright before I give what needs to be done let me start out by saying that i believe we have traveled to a new world so I'll be asking each of you to say if you noticed anything odd I'll start alphabetically since it'll make things easier, and I'll of course be excluding Poseidia, Aletia, Hazelyne, Tiamat, and Sola because they either know as much as I or in Poseidia's case already reported. Now then Ariel why don't you go first anything odd happen as of late?"
Standing up putting her hand over her heart. "I, Ariel Halvanhelev haven't noticed anything odd divine majesty!" Sighing to herself Alphae could only shrug. 'This will definitely take getting used to or wait since when did it feel this natural? Alphae's influence maybe? Ughhh I don't have the time right now important meeting!' Looking over to the next seat over. "Alright what about you Azrael?" "I, Azrael Abaddon haven't noticed anything either your eminence!"
Nodding she looks to Carmella whom nods in response. "I, Carmella Sanguine haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary divine sovereign!" Looking to the centaur who nods before answering. "I, Circe Themyscira haven't noticed anything either." Looking to the next seat whom nods at Alphae's nod. "I, Himari Shibasaka haven't seen anything as of yet."
The following six consisting of Hiyori Mizuno, Honoka Tannai, Kagome Akahara, Itsuki Nagahara, Leticia Goldhart, and Lupa Aurum all had the same answers until it was Luphas Mafahl's turn. "I, Luphas Mafahl actually have, and it's definitely different from whaaaa.–"
Luphas had fallen off her perch causing Skyla to sigh. "May I pick up from here dear?" Looking to the red haired Harpy Queen she receives Alphae's nod thus begins to speak as Luphas has her bloody nose treated by Itsuki. "As she was about to say.
It's our surroundings the initial barren lands before the god Solaris cursed us seem to have been replaced by a lush forest further more the neighboring kingdom of Alcantara is gone there is nothing but forest in its place. So if you're correct dear then we have finally escaped from Solaris! Isn't this news for celebration?"
Alphae could only sigh. "While yes the goddess's curse may be lifted, and I do agree it's just we are now surrounded by unknowns which isn't good at all so with that in mind Setsuna, and Shiori I do know you initially planned on heading out for a training journey?
Why not also help in our lack of knowledge when you return we need to quickly acquire this world's currency, assess if inhumans are mistreated, gain a detailed world map, and I personally have administrative duties to fulfill so I cannot leave at the moment, and I do wish to but I can't atleast not yet.
So instead you'll be our scouts so that means just you two can leave at this time. Next up is the protocols until either Setsuna or Shiori return which will be awhile i wnat security set at to the maximum which as you all know. No going beyond the city's walls. Next is the announcement about possibly being separated from Solaris. I want Ariel to arrange a specific time I go, and address the public.
Alright that should be all I need to actually say aloud except for you Sirin! Please stop pretending you're not hungry your literally squirming in sexual frustration."
Sirin being a hardcore tsundere does what any normal tsun would do in this particular situation. Violence! It solves anything for the tsundere if not? Then use more violence it's the best policy for the wild tsundere. "Argghhhhh YOU BAKA!"
Now rushing Alphae attempting to use the tsundere's natural weapon, and completely failing at that very thing by having her head be held back by Alphae's hand pushing on her forehead. "It's ok Sirin-chan our beloved is just watching out for you.~ no need to be so angry about that is there?~"
Sirin then locks eyes with the voices origin. "Yuki stay out of this you BAKA! I'm punishing this baka then it's your turn!" Looking at Yuki seeing a mischievous glint in her heart filled eyes made Alphae let loose a sigh of resignation.
"Fufufu Sirin-chan quit acting so adorable your to cute to withstand.~"
Sirin then glares daggers at Yuki before charging at attempting to tackle her but is constantly dodged until eventually giving up on the pursuit while laying on the ground throwing a tantrum. "Yukiiiii! Let me hit you already!" All the succubus gets in response is chuckles from the fox woman.
The whole seen makes Alphae she'd a single tear. "Damn these moments always get me emotional, and sentimental. Alright enough you two let's get some food we got a long day tomorrow, and since dinner will be ready soon we should probably go eat some food before you all cuddle me to death. I'll be heading out first meet you there!"
All present nod watching Alphae's retreating figure. Finally after the door shuts Setsuna speaks up. "Before we gush about our wife I say we hold a quick vote. All in favor of letting our beloved explore by herself with Aletia, Miyoko, and Sola tailing her say raise your hands." As expected all hands shoot up worrying about their wife causing Setsuna to nod in appreciation.
"Good she needs air plus Ariel will gladly take over internal affairs while she's gone. Anything else need to be said? If not I'm famished so let's go eat last one there can't cuddle with Alphae for a month!" Thus everyone rushed out to the dining hall to hopefully not be in last place so their cuddles time is not threatened.

A/ N:
What do you think? Especially with the two spaces between paragraphs! Lastly sorry about the delay until I came up with that Sirin moment near the end I couldn't really think of a way to naturally extend the chapter but the ending recommendation by Setsuna was actually planned. So next chap will start the aimless wandering.
Also chapter 4 or 5 will be an intermission with Emils's arrival, and how both subordinate group's reaction to watching Rimuru fuse together with Ainz having both their memories, and experiences also I might add The Eminence in Shadow aswell as a third group for Emils to command.
But you'll know when ch4/5 does come out if what that is happening or not. Anyways I've talked long enough see you next chapter!
