Nazarick's Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter!

Nazarick's Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter! (ナザリックの春夏秋冬!) by Oimoto Jirō (おいもとじろう) is the third chapter of the Overlord Official Comic A La Carte series.

Summary
Ainz Ooal Gown notes it's been peaceful, with Albedo attributing to his effective rule. Ainz wonders if the Floor Guardians will lose their minds to boredom and wishes there were seasonal events. Albedo finds the idea appealing as it would provide group entertainment. Ainz agrees to the suggestion and Albedo calls forth the Guardians in attendance. The Floor Guardians appear and humbly prostrate before Ainz awaiting his command much to his dismay at the formality. Ainz informs those gathered that he will be holding events to further strengthen Nazarick and thus they will be allowed to relax. Albedo is excited in anticipation of the season events and wonders what sort of things they will do together. Ainz initially thinks to start off with Valentine's Day, however, he decides to skip it thinking of the possible conflict that will emerge between Shalltear Bloodfallen and Albedo. Instead, he explains Hinamatsuri and Tango no Sekku. Hinamatsuri involving the symbolic preparation of a Lord and princess, while Tango no Sekku preparing flags and paper helmets. Mare Bello Fiore and Aura Bella Fiora ask the significance of the Lord and Princess in Hinamatsuri. Demiurge believes it to be a call to arms whilst they serve the rulers at a bonfire. Ainz realizes that it will not be easy to communicate the holidays to the Guardians and decides to put it into terms they can understand. He compares the event like entering a Dungeon, dividing into teams to claim the treasure. The events will possess obstacles such as ghostss and undead and those that fail will be punished. Albedo believing she understands her master's intentions then expands that it is a test and those that fail will be removed as Floor Guardian. The Guardians unanimously agree to the conditions thinking that those who fail are not fit to serve. Ainz sees that there is a misunderstanding, and decides to continue with a brief bio on Halloween. When Ainz explains that it was a holiday from foreigners where people are disguised as monsters roam free and are given candy. The next holiday to be touched upon is Christmas where Santa delivers gifts from above, though the Guardians interpret it as Ainz delivering gifts that attack from an air raid. The Guardians beg Ainz to tell them more. The Guardians end up eagerly preparing for their favorite holiday and are thrilled at learning more events from Ainz.
