Overlord: The Undead Oh! Chapter 38

Which Battle Maid (どっちかお姉ちゃんバトル) is the thirty-eighth chapter of the Overlord: The Undead Oh! series.

Summary
CZ2I28 Delta finding Lupusregina Beta has vanished again, looks for her in the maid cantina. The Homunculus Maids there are so happy to see Shizu-chan and offer the Pleiades maid their homemade stuffed toys. Accepting them, CZ2I28 also finds her quarry who comments on the former's popularity. While walking in the hallways, CZ2I28 asks her sister why the maids refer to her as Shizu-chan instead of "-san" like with Lupusregina? The red-haired maid states its because the other general maids are familiar with her, but they see Shizu as a little sister. They are joined by Entoma Vasilissa Zeta, who gets into a tense exchange with Shizu as both try to lay claim to the title of older sister. Due to their settings, all of the Pleiades have categorized each other as siblings yet for the sister pair of Shizu and Entoma there is no definite designation on who is the oldest or youngest as they were created around the same time. The same goes for Narberal Gamma and Solution Epsilon.

To solve this issue, Entoma tries to use the dark elf twins as a reference, stating that the two were created at the same time, yet Aura Bella Fiora is deemed the older sibling due to her boldness compared to her timid brother Mare Bello Fiore. While it works for those two, Shizu refuses to be called as the younger sister and continues to butt heads with Entoma.

Lupusregina states that sister relationships are not a hierarchy of power or status. Reminding them that their youngest sister, Aureole Omega, is the Area Guardian of the Cherry Blossom Sanctuary. Not only that, but there is also Albedo who is the Overseer Guardian boasting the highest defense while her sister Nigredo who is a powerful being in the Frozen Prison. Both the two maids agree that these examples make sense to them but still does not answer who is the younger sister between them. Lupusregina is sympathetic to whoever is dealt the younger sister title as she is junior to Yuri Alpha but wants to keep this fair and also have some fun, so she tells her two siblings of a plan to decide who will get the title of older sister. Though she warns them that being the eldest is painful as it means having a lot of responsibility. If being punctual, Yuri soon appears behind Lupusregina and demands why they are idling about. Both Entoma and Shizu tell her they are trying to determine who should be the eldest sister between the two. Yuri as a role model to her sisters tries to impress them on what being an older sister is. To start off, she recommends the three speak with those in Nazarick who are considered older sisters.

The group then goes around Nazarick to see Aura, Nigredo and even Neuronist Painkill to ask what their own definition of a sister is. They even pay Carne Village a visit, albeit with Shizu invisible and Entoma disgusied, to speak with Enri Emmot on her definition of being an older sister.
