Head Warrior Gazef.
Vice-Chief. Take a few men and guide the survivors back to E-Rantel.
Head Warrior.
What?
The King's orders were to investigate the group that had been attacking villages
near the kingdom and eliminate them.
That's right.
However, even if the enemies are truly Baharuth knights
only fifty soldiers were dispatched for this mission.
It is a mission of utmost secrecy.
The nobles are behind this, aren't they?
Even among the King's inner circle, many believe that if his most trusted
chief warrior were to fail, they would have firepower against the King.
So shallow.
That's enough.
You realize it as well, Head Warrior!
This is definitely a trap.
Instead of splitting our forces here, we should all head back to E-Rantel at once.
Even if we have to sacrifice a few villages,
the loss of the most powerful swordsman in the country would be far more grave!
I am of common birth.
So am I.
Living in a village is like living next to death.
It's not uncommon for us to be attacked by monsters.
That's right.
Then haven't you ever hoped...
that the powerful nobles or adventurers would save us?
Saying I never hoped would be a lie, but no one ever appeared.
Then, let us be the ones to appear before them.
Let us show those people who know the dangers, but put their lives on the line.
Let us show them the strong which protect the weak!

If I could just figure out how to use this Mirror of Remote Viewing,
it should be useful in securing the area around Nazarick.
Congratulations, Lord Momonga.
Thank you, Sebas. Sorry for making you do this with me.
Staying beside my master and following his orders,
that is the butler which Lord Touch Me created and my reason for existence.
I see. Now, let's search for areas where there might be people.
A festival?
No, that is not.
They don't seem to be bandits.
Something is wrong.
I would have fainted if I saw this before coming to this world.
How can I watch all of this so calmly?
What shall we do?
Leave them.
There's no reason or benefit for us to save them.
Understood.
Touch-san?!
Got some points!
Two more and I'll be able to change classes!
Hurry up and finish him off.
A freaking inhuman.
You're disgusting.
Why did you save me, a player you don't even know?
Saving someone who is in trouble is common sense!
Justice has arrived!
Either way, I eventually have to test my strength in this world.
Sebas, I'm going to this village.
Raise the security level of Nazarick to maximum.
Yes.
Tell Albedo to join me, fully armed.
Next, prepare the reserve forces.
Send in a few soldiers who are skilled at stealth or have the invisibility skill.
Understood.
Touch-san, I will repay my debt to you.
Gate.
Big Sis...
Nemu!
Run away, Enri! Run!
Hurry up and go!
I have to buy enough time for Nemu to escape!
What?!
What the hell?!
Wh—
Grasp Heart.
I was thinking of running away if my favorite undead skill,
a 9th tier spell, didn't work on the humans in the world.
A monster?!
I don't feel anything, even when I kill people.
I guess both physically and mentally, I've stopped being human.
You can chase women and children, but you can't go against someone different from you?
I went through the trouble of coming here.
I'll have you all assist me with my tests.
Dragon Lightning.
So weak. He dies so easily with mere 5th tier magic.
Create Middle Tier Undead. Death Knight!
Ugh. It takes over a dead body That's pretty different from Yggdrasil.
Death Knight! Kill the knights that are attacking this village.
Huh?
What's the point of a defensive monster
leaving the one he's supposed to protect behind?
Well, I'm the one who ordered him to do it though.
The preparations took some time. I apologize.
No. Your timing is perfect, Albedo.
Thank you very much.
And so, what would you like me to do with these lower life forms?
For now, the ones wearing that armor are our enemy.
Understood.
It looks like you're injured. Drink this.
Blood?!
I-I'll drink it! But my little sister...
Big Sis! No!
Be quiet, Nemu! What the hell is this?
They don't trust me at all. What did I do wrong?
You lower life forms!
W-Wait! Don't rush things! Lower your weapon!
Understood.
This is healing medicine. Drink it quickly.
No way.
The pain is gone, isn't it?
Y-Yes.
Do you know what magic is?
Y-Yes. A pharmacist, who is a friend of mine,
sometimes comes to the village and uses magic.
I see. Then this is easy to explain. I am a magic caster.
Anti-Life Cocoon.
Wall of Protection from Arrows.
I cast protection magic on you. You are safe as long as you stay there.
Also, I'll give these to you just in case.
If you blow them, an army of goblins you can command will appear before you.
Use the item to protect yourselves.
U-Um!
Th-Thank you very much for saving us!
Thank you very much!
Don't worry about it.
Wh-What is your name?
My name?
That... That's right.
You will do well to remember my name.
I am...
Ainz Ooal Gown!
Shit!
What?!
It doesn't raise its sword towards anyone who doesn't run away?
It's enjoying itself?!
God. Please save us.
God.
B-Bastards!
Take down that monster!
I am not a person who should die in a place like this!
Buy some time! Be my shield!
Chief Belius.
Money! I'll give you money!
200 gold pieces! No, 500 gold pieces!
1-1000 gold pieces!
S-Save me! Please! I'll do anything!
Money! I will give you money!
Money!
No! No! No!
God!
Calm down!
Retreat!
Once I give the signal, call the horses and the horseback archers!
The others will buy us time! Begin!
Death Knight! That's enough.
Nice to meet you all. My name is Ainz Ooal Gown.
I'll have you all return alive. And tell your superi— your owner of this!
Next time you cause trouble in this area, I will bring death to your kingdom.
Go! And be sure to tell everyone my name!
Acting is hard work.
You...
Hm?
Wh-Who are you, sir?
I saw this village being attacked and came to save you.
Now, you are all safe. I want you to be at ease.
Hm?
However, it wasn't for free.
I would like to be thanked for it.
So, I can lower their suspicions if they think this is for my commercial gain.
But, those two sisters were scared of me because of my skull face.
My face wasn't that rare in Yggdrasil though...
It's troublesome, but I'll have to silence those girls.
I hope that memory-wiping magic works here.
I asked for money in order to put the village at ease,
but what I truly wanted was information.
If I am ignorant about this world, it will become a huge weakness
when I meet a political leader or someone more powerful than myself.
The quiet village chief and his wife believed my story of being a magic caster
who had secluded himself in research and knew nothing of the world.
They told me everything they could about this world. However...
Even if I wear this cursed mask, known as the jealousy mask, that any player could get
in Yggdrasil by staying logged in a certain length of time on Christmas Eve, they trust me.
Just what kind of people are the magic casters in this world?
First of all, the money from Yggdrasil doesn't work in this world.
The gold itself has worth, but it may be dangerous to use from now on.
Next, I asked about the kingdom around us.
This village, Carne Village, and Nazarick are part of the Re-Estize Kingdom.
Re-Estize Kingdom
And, adjacent to the great mountain range that runs north and south
is the Baharuth Empire.
Baharuth Empire
The countries are on bad terms with each other and often battle on the plains
E-Rantel
that border the two countries near the capital city of E-Rantel.
And there is one more.
The Slane Theocracy lies to the south of both countries.
Slane Theocracy
Based on the crest on their shields,
the village chief assumed the Baharuth Empire attacked the village.
But perhaps this was staged by the Slane Theocracy
to create enmity between the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire?
What a blunder.
I should have captured one of the knights and obtained some information.
Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
More importantly, can you tell me anything else?
Y-Yes. The closest city near this village is E-Rantel.
Goblins, orcs, and ogres appear around this area, but adventurers hunt this area
so you should be safe as long as you follow along the roads.
Adventurers?
They are people who defeat monsters in exchange for a reward.
There is a guild in E-Rantel where you can request their services.
Adventurer's guild? What is the population of E-Rantel?
I'm sorry. I don't know the exact number.
I see.
It looks like I need to go to a city and live there to find out more.
I could revive the dead villagers with this Wand of Resurrection.
But, a magic caster who brings death and a magic caster who can revive the dead.
It's not hard to imagine which one would be dragged into more trouble.
Unless that situation changes,
you'll just have to be satisfied that I saved the village.
With this, the story of Ainz Ooal Gown saving the village will spread.
If there are other players from Yggdrasil here, I would like to help them.
So I don't antagonize them, I shouldn't kill more than I have to.
I need a cause for my actions.
It would be good to get support from one of the countries, too.
Enough already.
Our business is done here. Albedo, let's withdraw.
Understood.
Hello.
Do you hate humans?
Weak creatures. Lower life forms.
I think of how beautiful it would be if I crushed them like bugs.
Albedo...
Calmly treat them with kindness here. Acting is also important.
I say that, but I didn't feel anything when I killed humans either.
I wonder if this is a side effect from becoming undead.
What should we do, Village Chief?
Yes. Are there any good ideas?
Another problem.
What's wrong, Village Chief?
Oh. Lord Ainz.
It seems some knight-like people are heading toward this village.
I see.
I understand. Please have the surviving villagers gather around your house.
The Village Chief will come with us to the square.
Y-Yes!
I am the Chief Royal Warrior of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Gazef Stronoff.
I have received orders from the King to hunt down the knights of the empire
that have been wreaking havoc in this area by visiting all the villages.
Royal Head Warrior...
You must be the chief of this village. Who is the one standing beside you?
This gentleman is...
Do not worry. Nice to meet you, Royal Head Warrior.
My name is Ainz Ooal Gown.
I am a magic caster that came to help this town while it was being attacked.
Thank you for saving this village.
Mere words cannot fully express my gratitude.
Head Warrior!
Unknown figures have been spotted around this area.
It seems they've surrounded this village and are approaching as I speak!
Don't you gimme your love 'n passion!

I'm the only one who loves you
Because I'm crazy about you
Let's ride to hell, tsuijuu shite Go!

Beyond the line, but there's no end
I swear, I'm gonna be so fucking grateful!
Blessing word, anata wa shikou
Blessing word! You are supreme!
meirei ni Your highness chuujitsu ni Follow
To your commands, I say, “Your highness”, as I faithfully follow.
You give orders, watashi wa shinai
You give orders, but I won't pass them off to anyone;
naniyori toutoi mono yo
You're more precious than anything to me!
I don't know why my love is crying
gyouchaku shitai kajou na kurai
I wanna stick to you, to an excessive degree...
towa ni naritai, Don't wanna cry
I wanna become eternal, don't wanna cry!
shitto mousou kuruisou yo
Jealous delusions – I feel like I'm going mad!
Don't you give me your love and passion?
ai towa boudoushoudou Let go
Love is a rebellious impulse, so let go!
kokoro ijou ni honnou heart made More youkyuu shitai
I wanna demand more than your soul – down to your instinctual heart!
I don't want to live in a world without you
anata igai no kono mirai o Kill it, kill it
Or any future other than yours, so I'll kill it, kill it
I would be happy to kill it for my love
I'm imaging now, if you're mine,
It's like a paradise and haven and more
You're the only man who I love
In my life and destiny and all
Don't you give me your love and passion?
I know the border. It should be wrecked, go
Next Episode
Carne Village was attacked.
The Slane Theocracy's special operations unit's aim
was Re-Estize Kingdom's Head Warrior, Gazef.
Thrusting his sword,
Gazef engaged the enemy lines to try and protect the village.
Who cares about some human I just met?
It seems that a good chance has come for me, Ainz Ooal Gown, to test my powers.
