A Rubik's Cube? That takes me back.
One side's not a problem, but getting two is more difficult.
That's true, I suppose.
The Six Great Gods spread these toys over 600 years ago.
So, what event could transpire to bring the officers together?
There was a report submitted.
I didn't read it.
It's easier to just ask someone who knows the situation.
Has 7th Seat's "Thousand Leagues Astrologer" prediction gone awry?
They've gone forth to subjugate the Catastrophe Dragon Lord, right?
They engaged an unknown vampire-like undead,
and Cedran and Beaumarchais were killed.
Kaire was severely injured as well, so they withdrew.
8th Seat "Myriad Barriers" and 9th Seat "Divine Chain", huh?
So, which one is stronger: that vampire or me?
You are.
I see. That's too bad.
I thought I might experience defeat.
Come to think of it, the Sunlight Scripture has been wiped out, right?
Probably.
Word is that they were done in by a magic caster named Ainz Ooal Gown.
However, not a single body was left behind.
Oh? Are they strong?
Good question. Their captain, Nigun, was outdone by the Blue Rose.
That's no measure of strength at all, is it?
Is there no man who can beat me?
No matter how ugly or how twisted they might be.
Even being inhuman is no matter.
After all, they'd be a man capable of beating me.
How strong would a child born of myself and such a man end up being?
It has been a long time, Tsa.
What's wrong? Have you even forgotten how to say hello?
Ha-ha, sorry, Rigrit.
I was trembling with emotion at seeing my old friend again.
Friend, eh? My friend is that empty suit of armor over there.
I have been apologizing for that for 200 years, haven't I?
I can no longer travel with you in this body, you know.
So, still carrying on being an adventurer are you?
I've retired. I've let that girl Inberun take over for me.
That crybaby!
She kept carrying on, so I told her if I beat her, she'd have to do as I say.
And I gave it to her good!
You're about the only human who could beat her.
Well, I had my friends to help me.
Not to mention, while that girl may be strong, there are stronger.
Like you, for example.
If you hadn't constrained yourself,
you'd be the most powerful being in the world.
Hmm...
I'm not so sure.
There may be a power in motion aiming to corrupt the world once again.
An aftershock of 100 years ago...
Is this one not working alongside the world?
No. I would consider this one evil in nature.
I see.
Rigrit, I hate to do this after you've given up being an adventurer,
but may I request a favor of you?
What is it?
I'd like you to gather information on items that rival guild weapons.
Or rather, special items from Yggdrasil.
By the way,
what happened to your ring?
I doubt there's anyone who could have taken it from you.
I gave it to the youngster.
That's an item that transcends human bounds.
I'd rather it not fall into incapable hands.
Ah, but if you've made the decision, that's good enough for me.
This is the year when we fend off the Empire
and then proceed on a counter-campaign against them.
Absolutely.
I am growing good and tired of doing nothing but waging a war of fighting off the Empire's invasions.
The time has come for us to show those imperial fools how terrible we are.
Without a doubt. You are absolutely right, Count.
If our nation's strength declines,
the Baharuth Empire will attack us in earnest.
Do they really think that they can succeed
with the kinds of skirmishing we're now engaged in?
We need the nobles' help to keep the Empire's incursions in check.
We must keep the nation from being divided.
Right.
However, be that as it may,
I feel remorse about not having been able to defend you better before.
I was not able to arrange for and send armaments as I should have.
Please forgive me.
What are you saying, your Majesty?
It is my duty to protect my king and country.
I see. Oh...?
Renner!
Father! Head Warrior!
Princess!
Your council meeting is finally over, is it?
Mm-hmm.
I was thinking a little bit,
and have been waiting, wishing to speak with you, Father!
You have? You'll have to pardon me for that.
But Father, it is now time for my stroll,
so I will be leaving presently with Climb to wander around a bit.
Is that right? Well then, off you go.
When you get back, come call on me in my room.
Very well. All right, let's be off, Climb.
Please excuse us.
I would like to speak with Master Ainz Ooal Gown directly
to tell him that I am sincerely grateful for saving my most loyal attendant.
As benevolent a gentleman as he is, I think those words alone will gratify him.
Master! Sorry to keep you waiting, I am!
This is a gigant basilisk, it is!
Your loyal servant Hamusuke is driving it right to you!
It's huge in size, but if it's running away from Hamusuke
it means its level is lower than his.
Mr. Momon... there is no need for you to lower yourself to this.
I will use my Lightning.
No, don't. With your magic, you'll run through Hamusuke, too.
Right.
Hmph, is that the best it can do?
Master! Impressive, that was!
Nicely done, Mr. Momon.
Nabe, I'll let you report back to the adventurers guild.
Take Hamusuke with you, as well.
As you wish.
What will you do, Master?
I'm going back to Nazarick.
W-Welcome back.
Mm-hmm.
Um, here you go.
Mm-hmm.
Has Albedo gone out, as well?
No, she's here.
Um, she said she would be waiting for you in your room, Lord Ainz.
I see.
She may have an urgent, secret report for me.
I will go there immediately.
Welcome home, Lord Ainz!

Would you like to have dinner?
Would you like a bath?
Or, perhaps... would... you... like...
...to have me?
What is the meaning of this, Albedo?
Newlywed role-playing.
I've heard that there is no better way for a new bride to greet her husband
after he has taken his pet with him to work alone away from home.
How do you like it?
So that's it.
She hasn't gone outside today because she wanted to do this.
Who cares about the why?
Ugh, I've never even gone out with a woman, let alone gotten married,
so what does she expect me to say?
In this situation, what would a ruler— or rather, a ladies' man do?
It was quite appealing, Albedo.
I'm glad to hear it!
What's wrong?!
I messed up!
Ordinarily, etiquette dictates that for the final showdown,
a new bride would greet her husband dressed in nothing but an apron.
If you say the word, I will correct it at once.
Huh?
Of course, I will change right before your eyes, Lord Ainz.
No, if you desire, we can start over from the beginning,
Albedo and the other NPCs that my pals created are like children, in a sense.
and this time I will be the perfect new bride.
I couldn't do anything uncalled-for to those who are so dear to me. Besides,
Yes, I will greet you as the chaste new bride waiting for her husband.
I think Albedo is like this now because I rewrote her settings.
She is deeply in love with Momonga.
Albedo, it's time we stopped goofing around.
We have to hold a debriefing to resolve the data we've gathered.
As you wish, Lord Ainz.
This is a world map that we finally acquired from E-Rantel.
What, this?
I can understand your discontent.
It's rudimentary, and only details human nations around this area.
However, getting anything more than this will prove to be difficult.
Understood. I will make copies and distribute them to the other guardians.
Right. Before you do, let me briefly explain something.
This is Great the Tomb of Nazarick.
This nearby forest that covers a lot of land is the Great Forest of Tob.
Is the construction of the dummy Nazarick coming along?
Yes, it is proceeding on schedule.
Hmm? Is that...? Just a moment!
Okay, which team are you from?
Lady Aura, I am Team "U", Number Three.
Team "U", which means the storage warehouse.
Okay, got it.
Is there a problem?
There is an issue with the diameter of the wood.
It is time for lunch!
All right, Lady Bukubuku Chagama!
Okay, well, I hate to do this, but since it's time to eat,
would you mind coming back in an hour?
Very well.
Pestonya, what is for lunch today?
I have prepared a hamburger, just as you asked, Lady Aura.
With two pickles and french fries with the skins intact on the side.
There is a cola to drink. Er, woof!
Time to eat! Time to eat!
Thank you for this lunch!
Mm, it's good!
But, while this Grade A-7 100% ground beef isn't bad,
I prefer ground beef and pork mixed together.
I'd like you to make three patties like that.
All right, I'll relay that to the head chef, woof.
Mm-hmm, thanks.
I'd sure like to hear Lady Bukubuku Chagama's voice some more.
I see.
So Aura has taken a liking to that watch?
Quite so. An item that lets her hear Lady Bukubuku Chagama's voice,
her being one of the 41 supreme beings as well as Aura's own birth mother,
would be a reward more welcome than any other.
Of course, the greatest reward is to be here serving you, Lord Ainz!
M-Mm-hmm... Now, I was right in the middle of explaining something.
The area west of the mountain range is the Re-Estize Kingdom.
The capital is right here.
Sebas was collecting data. Where is he?
He is making regular reports, never missing a single one.
However, there still are no leads on who controlled Shalltear's mind.
I see. Continue to remain vigilant.
On the other side of the mountains is the Baharuth Empire,
which appears to engage the kingdom in war every year.
E-Rantel, which serves as Momon's home base,
becomes a military outpost in times of war.
And to the south, beyond the forest, is the Slane Theocracy.
They're the nation that attacked Carne Village previously.
The three countries border each other and are in conflict.
Additionally, to the north of the kingdom is the Argland Council State,
made up of several races of demi-humans.
It's said that either five or seven dragons serve as the nation's councilors.
Dragons, you say?
Southwest of the kingdom is a nation known as a holy kingdom,
and in the wilderness next to that,
many different demi-humans are engaged in daily disputes.
That's where Demiurge went off to, right?
Yeah. He's conducting experiments in parchment production for me.
High-quality parchment is indispensable when making scrolls, after all.
That does it for my quick description.
Which of these nations do you think we should be wary of?
The Slane Theocracy, I would say.
They were foolish enough to challenge you to battle, Lord Ainz,
and that failed miserably.
It is possible that they are waiting for a chance to take revenge.
She might be right about that.
Begging your pardon! At present, we should be wary of every nation!
Y-You are correct. While there may not be a serious threat from the states,
there are individuals who might take us by surprise.
How is Shalltear doing?
There doesn't appear to be any problem with her physical recovery.
However, on the psychological side, I do have some concerns.
I'm a little bit drunk...
As I recall, Lady Shalltear, with your total resistance to poisons—
Then again, you did chug it down.
It can't be helped!
Why don't you retire for the day and get some rest?
No, I don't want to go back.
I see.
Welcome.
Hey, Piki!
What can I get for you?
One of those.
Very good.
My original cocktail, a Nazarick.
You there, miss, this is for you.
I-It tipped over...
Would you mind not hitting it with your flipper?
I'm really sorry about that.
Oh, if it isn't Eclair, the assistant butler.
Is something the matter? You don't usually look like this.
I just failed badly—no, make that spectacularly.
That's why I'm escaping into alcohol.
Just like a godforsaken floor guardian.
Hmm?
I don't know.
Ah, Lord Ainz, how could I do such a thing?
The fact that she turned on you and went into battle against you
has created an inexcusable sense of guilt within her.
Shalltear's mind control was due to a world item,
and my tactical slipup.
I've told her that she is not at fault many times.
Are you telling me that not even being resurrected from death
can completely erase the effects of a world item?
Lord Ainz, please excuse me if I'm speaking out of turn...
Go ahead.
Rewards and penalties are the way of the world.
Lord Ainz, if you give Shalltear a punishment,
the sense of guilt within her will be relieved.
She's right. I guess a simple office worker like me didn't realize that.
All right. I'll consider it.
Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds.
What are you talking about?
It's suggestions like that one
that befit the Great Tomb of Nazarick's guardian supervisor.
Thank you very much.
Now, Cocytus wished to see me, right?
Yes.
He is waiting for you in the throne room.
Cocytus, is it ready?
Yes.
Everything is in order.
I will be departing at once.
Mm-hmm. I leave you in charge of everything.
I offer my sincerest gratitude as a guardian, and as a warrior, for the unexpected delight
of being allowed to serve in such a capacity as being in charge of Nazarick's first war.
Cocytus, I am sure that you will live up to my expectations.
Yes, my lord.
Be sure not to neglect keeping in regular contact with Cocytus.
As you wish.
Now then, I still have a few tasks waiting for me as an adventurer.
I will return to E-Rantel now.
Please be careful.
Whoever possesses the world item that took control of Shalltear
may launch another attack against us.
Hmph, if they do, I will easily turn it back—unless I can't, huh?
Still, rest at ease, Albedo.
If I run into them, my priority is to withdraw,
and until I identify who they are,
I plan on drawing as little attention as possible.
There are magical items in this world that are the same as the ones in the game of Yggdrasil.
There's nothing to say that whoever attacked Shalltear
isn't another Yggdrasil player, like me.
I should assume the worst-case possibility
and refrain from any actions that might antagonize them.
Lord Ainz, I, Albedo, will be responsible
for watching over the Great Tomb of Nazarick in your absence...
...as your wife.
This is no place for the chief himself to come to.
Zaryusu...
Brother, you wouldn't be... snitching food would you?
I just came to see how the fish were growing up.
Which means that you don't want to eat them.
They're good.
Fattier than the ones we catch fishing.
Ho...
When you bite into them, that prime, greasy goodness fills your mouth.
When you actually bite them in half, it's like they melt in your mouth.
Sister-in-law always said your tail was too truthful, Brother.
What? Damn that woman, making fun of her husband!
And what's so truthful about it, anyway?
Ugh, if you ever nock that arrow, you'll know how I feel.
I can't get married.
Hmph, nonsense.
Is it because of that mark?
I once left the tribe and went outside as a traveler.
My knowledge may be respected,
but it doesn't change the fact that I'll be an outsider the rest of my life.
The elders, huh?
You know, this is truly magnificent—your...
...fish farm?
Yeah. No one in our tribe has ever done anything like this before.
It's all thanks to you, as chief, Brother.
Hmm? What did I do?
I know that you spoke to everyone on my behalf.
Once they get a little larger, you're the first one I'll bring them to.
Hmph, I'm looking forward to it.
Hide the children!
Anyone not a warrior, take shelter in your homes!

Next Episode
A mysterious entity has declared death unto the Green Claw Lizardmen.
Fully aware of the foe's overwhelming strength, they nevertheless chose the path of battle.
Zaryusu, who suggested they form an alliance with the other tribes,
must struggle to resolve bygone conflict between tribes.
And thus, he journeys for the Red Eye and Dragon Tusk.
Chapter 2, Departure.
All for a path to survival.
