One thing that bothers me, is that Nabe's strength is not made believable in this team.

First, Nabe is initially introduced publically as merely a "tier 3 magic caster". Even as late as volume 6, there was a sentence in chapter 10 stating:

"Teleportion magic was a 5th tier spell, which Momon and Nabe should not be able to use, and travelling overland by horseback would take an entire day."

From this, it can be deduced that Nabe is presented as a sub tier 5 Magic Caster. Considering Nabe is 50% of team Darkness, it's simply not believable that the team is an Adamantite ranked team with her being sub tier 5.

If we were to assume that her public status is a tier 3 Magic Caster, well Arche is also a tier 3 Magic Caster and she's nowhere near considered Adamantite level.

If the residents of the new world thought about it, it's obvious that for Momon and Nabe to be Adamantite ranked with only two people, they would need to have at least "Hero-level" strength. Evileye already considers Momon to be above level ~50, for she herself is around that level and Momon is obviously way stronger for he was able to defeat "Jaldabaoth". Yet the way Nabe is presented, there's no way her strength is believable to Evileye, particularly how she "held off" the three maids each of whom is relatively equal to Evileye's strength, being only a tier 3 Magic Caster. That's blatantly impossible, like someone telling you he soloed Lich King in World of Warcraft while only being level 60.

Basically, this is a logical flaw that Ainz should rectify, lest he draws extra suspicion on himself. If you concoct a lie, it needs to appear flawless on the surface. There are really two choices he can make:

1) Claim Nabe is actually a tier 5/6 Magic Caster, and he was just keeping her strength a secret.

2) Make it known that he's basically carrying the team because he's so outrageously strong. But this approach is actually not desirable, for it would unnecessarily lower Nabe's standing in the public view.
