...

Ships sailing on the open sea are so peaceful...

BAM CRASH BOOM SHATTER

...at least, when a crazed maid isn't chasing a rabbit troublemaker through it's halls.

Which brings us to now: One Kurosaki Koyuki, narrowly dodging an explosion in one of the hallways of the Golden Fleece, and not a single person can save her.

"Eyaaaaaah! What the hell?!" The White Rabbit shouts, frantic, as she runs. "Freakin' Asuna drew an S in just twenty tries?! This is so unfair! It has to be rigged! I spent so much money and got nothing! How is this possible?!"

The White Rabbit continued to bemoan her bad luck, not realizing she'd fallen into the gacha trap.

"The world of gacha is ruthless." I say, having caught up with her. "I hope you've realized that now."

Koyuki freezes at my sudden appearance, before whining pitifully, tears in her eyes.

"I'm coming for you, brat!" Neru shouts from down the hall.

"?! Eyaaaaah!" The pink haired girl shouts, breaking into another sprint.

The short maid lets out a manic laugh. "Yes! Excellent! Give me more! Let me enjoy making you cry! Then I'll hand you over to the Seminar treasurer!"

Neru blitzes past me, causing my suit and hair to blow by, along with her.

"Oh, dear." Akane says, her and Karin having caught up as well. "I do hope she doesn't go too overboard."

"The last laugh is mine! Mine! Hahahaha!" Neru's sadistic laughter can be heard for miles, at least. "Run, little bunny, run! Can you run while you're crying?! If I catch you too easily, I'll punish you for that, too!"

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" Koyuki's frantic cries can be heard for miles as well.

"Ahahaha! Yes, perfect! Run until your lungs explode!" Neru cackles.

"I-Is this okay, Sensei?" Akane asks.

"I trust she knows not to go too far." I say. "She knows she'll have bigger problems than Yuuka and stealth missions if she does."

"Do... Do you really think so...?" The white-clad maid reiterates.

I can only offer a shrug to the bespectacled maid. "Let's just go after 'em."

—————

On the other side of the ship, Koyuki pants and heaves, exhausted beyond all measure, as she slowly comes to a stop, Neru's mad cackles and explosions have ceased.

At least for the moment.

"U-Ugh... Please... Spare me..." The White Rabbit begs. "Is she even human? She's like a freakin' bloodhound! Not even flashing my bonds and hiring people to block her as I ran helped! She just steamrolled them! Bowled them down like they didn't exist! And how did she blow up all the exits?! I'm trapped!" She whines, pitifuly. "I finally got away from Millennium and I'm still suffering!"

"Heeeeey~ Little Raaaaabbiiiiiiit~" Neru's voice echoes throughout the hallways, like a ghost, or perhaps like a wolf, stalking it's prey. "Do you think you can hide?! Gahahahaha!"

Koyuki freezes up and squeals, revealing her position to the short maid. "Eeyaaaah! B-But...! I'm almost free! Does she think I've been running without a plan? All I have to do is get to the top deck. As long as I can get up there...!" She says to herself, beginning to move, albeit slowly. "And then... I'll be...!" She pants, still exhausted, as she drags her feet across the floor.
