Overlord (オーバーロード)

Raise your heads.

Yes.

You all did well in fulfilling your roles

during the events of Re-Estize Kingdom.

Sebas. Solution. Step forward.

You both worked diligently in long-term information collection.

In response to your brilliant work, I give you rewards.

--Sebas. --Yes.

You asked for the life of Tuare to be spared,

but I promised her protection to repay a debt that was owed.

It was not in response to your hard work.

So, I shall grant you something else you desire.

Lord Ains, my only desire is to devote myself to...

Know that it is sometimes displeasing to rule over the selfless.

My apologies!

If that is the case,

I would like clothes and daily necessities for Tuare.

Granted.

You shall receive gold for such purchases.

You may take Tuare with you as a date.

A-Are you certain?

I do not mind.

Thank you very much.

Now, Solution. Tell me what you wish for.

I would love to receive some humans.

If possible, I would like them alive.

If they are innocent humans,

it would bring me the utmost happiness.

Living humans, huh? Granted.

However, I will not allow innocent ones.

Forgive me for being unable to grant your wish completely.

I am unworthy of such words!

Now, Entoma.

Yes.

It seems your voice has yet to return.

Does my voice irritate your ears?

Not at all.

You have also worked hard. Do you have a wish you want granted?

Then, Lord Ains...

If the need to kill that brat ever arises, please give me that order.

I wish to steal that woman's voice.

Ah, that girl with the suspicious mask.

I understand. I shall call for you when such a time arises.

I am thankful for the depths of your compassion, Lord Ains.

Ah, this is the best!

I've tried various methods to clean the crevices of this troublesome body...

As I thought, slime baths are the best!

This method cleans every corner of my body.

Truly groundbreaking and creative!

A perfect answer to the problem!

I could only use saunas in my old world.

I want to take a long bath, now that I know one is available.

The act of bathing

is probably rooted deeply into all the hearts of the Japanese.

Come to think of it,

Demiurge told me that Sebas was doing well with Tuare.

If they have their date in E-Rantel,

maybe I'll tail them while wearing my jealousy mask...

Just kidding.

However, having your subordinates enjoy their day off is

also the duty of a superior.

Do not leave a single speck of dust behind!

--Yes. --Yee!

For the time when I rule the Great Tomb of Nazarick!

Yee!

Hm?

Good morning. Another truly wonderful morning!

Cixous, you look extra perfect today!

That's because I'm taking care of Lord Ains today.

Oh, you're going all out today!

M-Miss Lupisregina!

Please don't scare us like that! Goodness!

I thought my heart would jump right out of my chest!

Thanks for the great reaction, you three.

I'll try it out in the village next time!

Village?

I'm working at a human's village called Carne Village!

A human's... That must be hard.

Not really!

But, to be honest, it's a bit boring.

Let me go! Please let me go!

I have an important mission called cleaning!

It's CZ!

CZ!

--CZ is so cute! --There you are.

I-It's coming out... M-My insides...

Stop using Complete Invisibility all the time like that.

Sorry 'bout that!

On top of that, you've already started eating.

You said we would eat together.

Whoops!

That was such a surprise!

But, we were able to speak with Miss Lupisregina.

No, no. I'm taking care of Lord Ains today.

Right, I'm off!

Good morning, Lord Ains.

Yes.

All of you always arrive so early.

You can rest until your scheduled time, you know.

With all due respect,

serving the Supreme One gives us maids and eight-edge assassins

great happiness.

Please allow us to stay by your side.

I am not reproaching you for it.

Were you able to rest well yesterday?

Yes. In order to serve the Supreme One with every fiber of my being,

I rested for the entire day!

I see.

We're like a sweatshop corporation.

If I don't order them to take breaks,

they work twenty-four hours a day.

Just how loyal can they be?!

Reforming the work mentality of the NPCs is another problem that needs work.

Lord Ains, Lord Demiurge wishes to meet with you.

I had Albedo take a day off.

A day off?

I suggested enjoying some time with the other female floor guardians.

So.

I have prepared this for the male floor guardians.

I wanted to have Sebas join us, but he is busy with Tuare.

I will invite him next time.

This is...?

An information circular.

Come, my cavalry beast.

Wow! He's completely different from a normal bicorn!

Look at the size of his horns! And his muscles are so taut!

That's right,

he is referred to as a War Bicorn Lord.

Well, it is actually a level 100 bicorn.

I see. So what's he called?

A bicorn.

I'm not asking what species it is. It's personal name.

Is that necessary?

Well, it's your pet, Albedo.

He is not really a pet...

And, how can we be sure the same bicorn is summoned each time?

--Then, why not ask Kyouhukou? --Huh?!

He is skilled at summoning his own kind.

Kyouhukou? Please stop joking.

He is loyal to Nazarick,

so I feel bad for disliking him, but I just...

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Kyouhukou's family tends to crawl into the openings of your clothes.

You know, they just skitter up.

How disgusting!

Don't word it in such a way that makes one itch!

So, everyone feels the same way.

Back to the topic at hand, you're not going to name him?

Well, if Lord Ains allows me to do so,

I would like to give it a name packed with my feelings.

Like, Top of the World!

Is that a name referring to our Lord Ains?

Well, whatever.

Okay, let's start the next experiment.

Wh-What's wrong?!

G-Get off for now, Albedo!

Y-Yes.

Albedo, did you get too heavy?

How rude! Taking my muscle mass into account,

I am properly within the normal expected weight range!

What's wrong with him?

I wonder.

It cannot be helped. I shall find out for you!

Encyclopedia by Lord Peroroncino!

It is a reward I received from Lord Ains!

Bi... Bi... Bico...

I received an armband from Lord Ains, myself.

I, as well...

Though, I wish I could receive something special meant only for me.

Something special from Lord Ains...

Bicorn!

--You found it? --Let me see...

It is said that bicorns symbolize impurity.
