Full Summary
Notice: Volume 8 deals with events before Overlord Volume 5, as it is described that Sebas and Solution are still in Re-Estize to gather information.

(Quick summary off the top of my head. The sequence might get a bit messed up because it's been a while since I last read volume 8.)

Story 2: It starts off in the 9th floor of Nazarick. the story first focused on the daily lives of the 41 maids. After the transfer to the new world, Ainz created a new system where the maids are split into two groups of 20 each day. One for day shift, one for night shift, and the maid that is left out gets to take the day off. Initially the maids refused the 1 day break, however, Ainz managed to convince them in the end by promising that if they accept the break, the maid that took the break gets to service Ainz for the entire day the next day.

The story then moves to Mare, the Guardian of the 6th floor. He was delivered a secret message from a servant of Demiurge. Apparently, Demiurge specifically instructed his servant to only give the message to Mare, not Aura. Becoming curious, Mare opened up the message, and saw that it was an invitation from Ainz to all the male Guardians to join him for a bath. The recipients of the message were Demiurge, Mare, and Cocytus. Seeing this, Mare understood that he needed to pass it onto Cocytus. To keep the content secret, he lied to his sister about the reason why he needed to go to level 5, and headed out to search for Cocytus, only to find that he isn't in Nazarick but at the Lizzardmen's village.

Due to the incident with Shalltear, Floor Guardians were forbidden to independently leave Nazarick without Ainz's permission, unless they take more than 5 level 90 (Or was it 85? Forgot) servants along with them. If Mare mobilized his high level servants, Aura will definitely notice. As such, Mare ended up heading to the Great Library of Nazarick in order to try to borrow high level body guards from the Master of the Library. In the end, he finally managed to get to the Lizzardmen's village, saw that huge constructions are currently taking place, and then delivered the message to Cocytus. [Will add more later]
