Overlord: The Undead Oh! Chapter 41.2

Ghost Hall And Hamsuke (死霊殿とハムスケ) is the second part of the forty-first chapter of the Overlord: The Undead Oh! series.

Summary
Ainz Ooal Gown conducts an experiment in his office with Narberal Gamma and Hamsuke acting as participants. Using his skill of Create Low Tier Undead, Ainz summons a Death Ghost. Hamsuke is initially shocked at seeing the apparition but becomes delighted as it looks just like her. Narberal says otherwise as to her the Death Ghost resembles nothing like the hamster. This confirms what Ainz suspected, ghosts appear differently depending on the eye of the beholder. He theorizes that the appearance of ghosts in this world depends on the viewer's race. Narberal understanding this explains why to her that the spirit's face looks to be a Doppelgänger in agony, making Ainz wonder how it would look like.

Still the results of this experiment are interesting as in YGGDRASIL visuals of ghosts were always human-like, but here in this new world there is the viewer's race is a determinant of the ghost's appearance. Ainz gives Narberal warning that her perception on a ghost might expose her as a non-human, which she promises to keep in mind. Satisfied with his experiment Ainz dismisses the two from his office. Before leaving Hamsuke asks if she could borrow the Death Spirit for awhile. Narberal tells Hamsuke she can't breed with it, but Hamsuke denies that to be the reason for her interest. Hamsuke in anticipation of meeting others of her kind had previously been using reflections of herself, which Narberal and Ainz had originally assumed were the habits of a narcissist, to practice talking to her possible kindred. Here she sees a unique opportunity to use the ghost as something close to the real thing.

Seeing that there is no issue, Ainz allows Hamsuke to take the summon. After departing from the office Hamsuke plans to find someplace quiet to interact with the ghost. Narberal suggests going to the Frozen Prison, but Hamsuke declines.
