Overlord: The Undead Oh! Chapter 62

Statue of Shalltear (シャルティアしかみ像) is the sixty-second chapter of the Overlord: The Undead Oh! series

Summary
The chapter begins with a narration of the story of Tenkabito Tokugawa Ieyasu about a portrait that was drawn for him after the Battle of Mikatagahara. It was said the portrait was made to remind him of his despair of his loss and to avoid being complacent. The face which he is depicted is known as "Shikami" or (Grimacing Face). The image served as a reminder of his past blunder, which Ieyasu never forgot.

In the present, at the Great Tomb of Nazarick, a similar situation is being done by someone who wishes to admonish herself by memorializing her blunder through art. Shalltear Bloodfallen is seen posing before a Homunculus Maid and a Vampire Bride. The maid manages to produce a realistic portrait of the Floor Guardian. This impresses Shalltear as she always heard that some of the general maids were good at drawing.

One of Shalltear's Vampire Bride believes that the image is perfect as it portrays her charm. Instead of being praised for her compliment, the vampire earns a brutal punch from her superior. Shalltear states that the image is suppose to depict the story of her blunder, which causes the Vampire Bride to recall it, only to earn her another chop to the head. On the bright side her subordinates are happy to see their mistress in high spirits from this art session. Seeing the abuse that the Vampire Bride is getting for her mistake, the homunculus tries to apologies, but is stopped by the second Vampire Bride who states that for them receiving a punishment from Shalltear is a reward.

The Floor Guardian still painfully recalls the shame of her blunder, being mentally manipulated by an unknown foe. To remind herself of her carelessness so it may never happen again, Shalltear wants an image that exudes her blunder. Thus seeing herself smile and act cute isn't going to cut it. The maid agrees and suggests that Shalltear makes a face of frustration so she can work up a new draft.

But even when she makes that face her attendants still find her adorable. That's not the reaction she was going for as she wants to be seen as regretful and pitiful. One of the Vampire Brides suggest that they add a speech bubble to emphasize her emotion in the picture. The idea is thrown away as it makes Shalltear look comical and more akin to a child's drawing.

Once again Shalltear states she wants a vivid picture of herself, that evokes the depth of her pain. Thinking that the Floor Guardian is looking for art that shows deep emotion, the maid produces a new image, an abstract rendering of Shalltear's colored emotion. The painting is taken away Shalltear tries to find a way to imagine what she wants. Her minion suggests that she picture the battle she had with Ainz Ooal Gown, which Shalltear thinks maybe they can do a portrait of him and her decked in armor when they fought.

However the maid asks that they not do an image of that, as drawing full body armor is taxing and difficult. Scrapping the idea, Shalltear laments that she can't remember everything when she was mind controlled. Thus she can only guess what happened when they fought. Unsure of what she wants, as an experiment Shalltear asks the maid to draw an image she would most like, a big breasted dullahan in a bunny costume.
