Lupisregina. Do you know why you've been called for?
No.
Then, have you heard that monsters called the Giant of the East and the Demon Snake of the West
have been making preparations?
That, I did not believe was worth reporting to the Supreme One.
So, you knew?
Yes. That, I...
You fool!
Why did you not report this to me? Or did you try to hide it from me?
N-Not at all!
I thought the information wasn't of importance...
Lupisregina! I am disappointed in you!
She failed at basic communication and reporting!
That is unacceptable in any large organization.
Wait...
Lupisregina.
Do you understand the value of that village to Nazarick?
Um, it is a village that Lord Ainz used for experimentation.
And... a place with many toys.
Oh, I see.
I apologize. This was due to my mistake.
I did not realize you thought so little of the place.
Allow me to take back my words. I overspoke. Forgive me.
What are you saying?! It is my fault for being so stupid!
Then, be careful next time.
I will teach you the value of that village.

That village has its value.
Especially Nphirea and his grandmother.
The two of them are developing a new potion for me.
That's right! I have something to give you, Lord Ainz!
What is this?
Yes! It is a new potion that Nphirea has created!
Well, that is fine.
This potion has increased the value of the Balear family once again.
The potions of this world are blue and no matter how high the quality,
they deteriorate over time.
However, the potion I know from Yggdrasil is red and does not spoil.
Nphirea is working on a Yggdrasil potion that does not depend on
any items or skills from Yggdrasil.
The creation of a completely different potion is acceptable as well.
He is important enough that I would have loved to imprison him in Nazarick
and have him do his research here.
After all, knowledge is power.
Then, why do you not do exactly that?
Earning his trust and having his gratitude chain him down
will bring us greater gain over time than forcing the labor.
Please explain one thing that I am too foolish to understand.
Then, why did you give the Britta woman a red potion, Lord Ainz?
Britta?
Oh, come to think of it...
What are you talking about?
Y-Yes. I heard from Narberal once...
He once gave an Yggdrasil potion to a woman adventurer in E-Rantel named Britta.
True, that was a dangerous move.
However, it was worth taking the risk to gain what I needed.
Wh-What is that?!
I had thought it was to replace that woman's potion?!
Did you really think that was all, Narberal?
I-I apologize!
Nphirea.
Nphirea, you say?
Well...
What does one do when they receive a red potion that they have never seen before?
They ask someone for advice about it?
That's right! As I had planned,
she went to the most skilled and trusted potion maker she knew, did she not?
That is how I came into contact with Nphirea.
I see! So that was the reason!
It seems you finally understand.
I was able to make it believable!
Do you always take action like this,
thinking two to three steps ahead of the others, Lord Ainz?
Of course. I am the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown!
Lupisregina.
Yes.
The most important person in that village in Nphirea.
And number two is Enri Emmot,
as his love for her is a chain that keeps him there.
Last is Nphirea's grandmother, Lizzy.
All the others are of no consequence, but you must protect those three at all costs.
Yes!
Then, Lupisregina. Now that you know my plans, I will not allow failure.
Understand?
Of course!
Good. Now, go.
Fulfill your duty to the fullest!
Yes!
Excuse us.
Lord Ainz is freaking amazing!
Be quiet.
Goodness. No matter how wonderful Lord Ainz is, she is much too excited.
It is fine.
Aura, what do you know about the Giant of the East and the Demon Snake of the West?
Right.
Um, I'm very sorry.
I have no information on such monsters.
I combed the forest for strong enemies, but could not find any such creatures...
Something of Hamusuke's level can hardly be considered strong.
It would have been easy to miss them.
Shall I clean them up?
If I send in a few of my pets, it will be an easy task!
That would be boring.
The Giant of the East and Demon Snake of the West,
I would like to see what kind of monsters they are.
We should see if we can create a test for Lupisregina at the same time.
The home of the Giant of the East should be right up ahead.
I see.
So how shall we dispose of these fools that dare go against you, Lord Ainz?
Let us try talking to them first.
Huh?
If the Giant of the East and Demon Snake of the West are monsters
that did not exist in Yggdrasil, I'd like to capture them.
You are so kind, Lord Ainz.
R-Really?
I am only kind to those who are worthy, or those from Nazarick.
If they are existences like Hamusuke, I merely believe they have some worth.
Seize every golden opportunity, was it?
Is Hamusuke that valuable?
He is. He has been a useful test subject.
Are you talking about the Lizard Men training?
Yes. I am having him train with a death knight to become a warrior.
I am seeing if it is possible for them to obtain the class of warrior.
If the death knight can evolve into the warrior class,
it will greatly increase the power of Nazarick.
Well, it probably won't be possible.
But I'm not sure about Hamusuke.
If we only had another for comparison.
Lord Ainz, is there something wrong?
Hm? No, it's nothing.
I was just lost in thought. Do not worry.
Is that so?
She's so skinny. Were the waists of children this small?
Wh-What is it, Lord Ainz?!
Oh, no. I was just thinking that you have a very small waist.
Are you eating properly?
Y-Yes. As you have ordered, I eat three meals a day on a set schedule!
Yes, I see. Make sure to eat properly.
Yes! I will eat properly and make Shalltear jealous of me!
Eventually, all of you will have relationships with others...
Huh?! It's way too early for me, Lord Ainz. I'm still only 70 years old!
O-Oh, that's right. For a dark elf, you are still just a child.
By the way, who do you like in Nazarick, Aura? What is your type?
I love you the best, Lord Ainz.
That makes me happy.
Then, who do you love the most, Lord Ainz?
Hm? I love you, too, Aura.
Emotional development for the children, huh?
If there is a school for dark elves, should I send Aura and Mare there?
L-Lord Ainz!
What's wrong? That was very loud.
I-I'm sorry...
There is no need to apologize.
More importantly, about your future...
The future?!
Yes, that's right. In the future, if there is a country of dark elves,
I will have you go with me there.
Huh? Oh, yes! That kind of future.
Understood. I will accompany you.
And, we have almost reached our destination, Lord Ainz.
Aura, will you have the beasts you brought with you at the ready nearby?
Yes! Let's go, everyone!
How laughable, Aura. It seems they tried to copy what you were building.
Lord Ainz, that is their nest.
There are no guards. How careless.
What a terrible smell.
A gas trap? No, this could just be coincidence.
Looking at the footsteps, it seems multiple creatures live here.
It seems we cannot expect much intelligence from them.
I hope we can at least converse...
Hey, ogres.
Sorry for interrupting your meal.
For a doorbell, they are too noisy and lack any class.
Skeleton!
Skeleton! Enemy!
Aura, stand back.
How dirty!
Y-You different from skeleton!
Please don't think of me as a mere skeleton.
I am here to see your boss, the Giant of the East.
Will you call him here?
Well, I think he'd come if I just wait, but...
Shoot. The hand was so dirty, I accidentally used too much strength.
It cannot be helped.
A weak and vulgar ogre dared to try and touch you, Lord Ainz.
I'm glad to hear you say that.
Punitto Moe once said, "Punching them to make them listen to you isn't a bad idea".
Or was that Warrior Takemikazuchi...?
If the supreme beings say so, it must be true.
Those two were both really extreme people...
A troll, huh?
That's a bit far from being a giant, but it doesn't seem to be a complete lie.
Is he similar in strength to Hamusuke?
It seems so.
You are the Giant of the East?
Then, I hope that you are the Demon Snake of the West. Are you?
You may think you are hiding with Invisibility, but I can see through it.
Why not stop doing such a pointless thing and answer me?
Oh, you're a naga.
It's true that you are a type of snake, but I feel like the description was off.
You saw through my invisibility. You are not a normal skele—
Skeleton! What did you come here for?!
I am not a skeleton. I will have you correct that inaccurate description.
Then, what are you?
The King of the Eastern Forest, Guu, will allow you to say your name.
Guu?
I see. So your name is Guu.
I apologize for the late introduction.
My name is Ainz Ooal Gown.
Unlike my powerful name, yours is that of a coward!
Cowa—
Stay calm.
Mysterious undead.
These creatures believe long names signify a lack of courage.
So, do you believe me to be a coward as well?
No, not at all. I also have a long name.
I am what you call the Demon Snake of the West, Ryraryus Spenia Ai Indarun.
So why have you come, weak one?
I am making a fortress in the center of the forest using golems and undead.
Do you know of it?
I know! Intruder!
If this snake didn't whine so much, we would have already gone over to kill you!
Now we don't have to go through the trouble.
That makes things a lot easier.
So, I came here because I wish to negotiate with you.
If you value your lives, submit yourselves to me.
You fool! I would never submit to a weakling!
Guu! It is dangerous to underestimate him!
You are going to be eaten here!
After that, I'll eat the little shorty next to you!
You howl more than a dog, you ball of flesh.
What did you say?!
Then, let's do this.
How about you, who has such a strong name,
fight me, who you call weak, in a duel?
You wouldn't run away scared, now would you?
Interesting! I will tear you apart and eat you!
All right. It seems you've made your choice.
Why do you look so confused?
I see. The healing capabilities of a troll.
The strong hold the power of life and death over the weak.
However, that was distasteful.
Guu! He is not normal! We must work together to defeat him!
Shut up!
Goodness.
I wish you wouldn't wrinkle my clothes.
Are you finished attacking?
Being a coward does not mean being weak.
Even with that acorn-sized brain, surely you've come to realize it?
Aura, don't let that one escape.
Lord Ainz. I've caught him, but what do you plan to do with him?
You little brat! I will squeeze you to death...
Hey, I can't see Lord Ainz' majestic form like this.
If you keep resisting, I'm going to crush your throat halfway.
Aura, move some ways away so that it doesn't die from the collateral damage.
Understood!
Now then, you've healed up.
Let us continue.
What did you do? What are you doing? Magic?
Huh? How strange.
The almighty Lord Guu, stepped back from someone with a cowardly name like me.
Why is that?
That is because your name is a valiant one, Lord Ainz.
And the weird name of Guu is a cowardly one.
Right, snake?
D-Dat's right!
It is the proof of Lord Ainz Ooal Gown's greatness!
I see. I see. That makes sense.
You bastard!
Shut up, coward!
As expected of a troll.
Your healing capabilities are so strong that you can recover from being minced.
Though it seems you can feel all the pain.
Wh-What are you?! Why don't my attacks reach you?!
I am death. I am someone who brings you death!
A-All of you! Kill him!
Oh? As expected of someone who has the name of a coward.
To break your promise of a one-on-one duel...
It would be troublesome if you escaped.
I believe I have played around enough.
Aura of Despair, Level 5.
I-I will submit to you! I wish to serve you with every ounce of my being!
Well, that is fine. I did originally come here for negotiations.
Have we collected data on a troll zombie yet?
A magic weapon?
It may be useful for increasing the power of an individual from that village.
Do you have subordinates?
A troll would be nice.
I have only one.
Wonderful. Then we can use him as a substitute.
No, that would be difficult.
Okay, bring any subordinates you have with you
to the building we are constructing in the forest.
Aura, let him go.
Are you sure?
I do not mind. If he betrays me...
B-Betrayal?! I would never be able to do such a thing!
Only fools who haven't seen
those cold eyes that look upon you like an ant could do such a thing!
Well, all right.
Hurry up and leave this place. Bring your subordinates.
That is my first order!
Yes!
A food menu?
I want to ask for your opinion.
It would be a meal for a human man and woman. Perhaps a child as well.
I believe that humans should eat anything and everything
that Lord Ainz would present them, without complaint.
But that does not seem to be the answer you are searching for...
If there is a child, something like foie gras may not be to their taste.
Also, I believe something refreshing would be good?
I see. That has been of some help. Thank you.
I am unworthy of your praise.
Lord Ainz, do you plan to invite someone to the holy place of the supreme beings,
our Great Tomb of Nazarick?
Is there a problem with that?
No, not at all.
The word of Lord Ainz is righteous.
Entoma.
Yes, Lord Ainz. I have received a report from Lupisregina.
I see. It looks like she passed the first test.
Also, she would like permission to enter battle.
Granted. Give Lupisregina permission. She must protect those three with her life.

Next Episode
A group of monsters attack Carne Village.
At the main gate,
the vigilantes, goblins, and orcs fight them off under Jugem's orders.
At the same time, Enri and Nphirea come in contact with a troll trying to enter from behind.
There is no chance for victory if Jugem and the others get sandwiched.
Enri and Nphirea risk their lives to buy some time.
Chapter 5, Two Leaders.
Now, then. I wonder how things will turn out this time.
