Overlord: The Undead Oh! Chapter 29

Nazarick Theater〜Stage Taking Story〜 (劇団ナザリック〜タゲ取り物語) is the twenty-ninth chapter of the Overlord: The Undead Oh! series.

Summary
Ainz Ooal Gown appears at Nazarick Theater at the invitation of Solution Epsilon to see a new production directed by her. For the script, Solution admits that she based it off a book written by Luci★Fer that she found in Ashurbanipal. After they take their seats in the theater, Solution orders the play to commence.

Albedo serving as the narrator speaks of an old couple who lived in the bamboo forest, which causes Ainz to realize the play is The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, but with a Western-style ambient. Sebas Tian and Yuri Alpha play as the old couple in the story, but acting as a tank and healer respectively as they go into the forest to do a target removal and chop down the bamboo stalks. In addition game concepts like Damage Per Second bleeds into the story-line to the confusion of Ainz.

The couple come across a big shinning bamboo shoot at their usual chopping ground. The two then proceed to cut the bamboo as Ainz ponders the plot of the play with the original Japanese folktale that Luci★Fer based his novel on. Th bamboo is cut vertically spilling out bamboo fluid and a young girl in a pink dress played by Aura Bella Fiora. The couple then take her home and decided to raise her as their own, giving her the name Nayotake no Kaguya-hime or Shining Princess of the Young Bamboo. For short she was called Chagamahime after their heirloom teapot. Ainz sees that the name is a reference to Bukubukuchagama and that the dress Aura is wearing was once owned by her. He remembers that the book Luci★Fer wrote was mentioned to him by Yamaiko. According to Peroroncino is was a form of princess play by the eccentric player and when Bukubukuchagama heard of it and her allusion to her swore to beat the author up.
