Overlord: The Undead Oh! Chapter 72

Supreme Photo Spot (至高の映えスポ) is the seventy-second chapter of the Overlord: The Undead Oh! series

Summary
Bukubukuchagama arrives at the Field of Flowers on the 6th Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick as she was asked by Tabula Smaragdina for some consultation. He asks his comrade on her opinion of possibly implementing a gimmick to repel intruders. Bukubukuchagama rejects the idea as the other three female guildmembers would never forgive him for doing so.

Not only they would be against it, but also Blue Planet expressly stated that the area be left alone as a beautiful garden. Tabula understands their reasons as the meadow offers a spectacular view in contrast to the polluted environment of the real world.

Tabula is still set on adding trap features to the field, and wants to take advantage of the superb view as a way to distract enemies. His plan is to use it to make them fall victim to a trap of rushing wild boars. But Bukubukuchagama argues that then the boars would destroy the field and wants to leave the field as is because its also her precious photo spot.

At the word of photo spot, Tabula recalls Bukubukuchagama's hobby of always looking for the right spot for a picture, whether it be a waterfall casting a rainbow or the lights from a window in the dungeon. However this is all limited to within Nazarick, as for heteromorphs like them, they would be PKed outside and also there is trouble dealing with hostile monsters.

Bukubukuchagama maintains that she doesn't want any monsters in the field as they would always be in the way of the scenery and doesn't want to keep constantly batting them out of the way. To her the field is the most controlled area for her to do natural photo shoots. This gives Tabula an idea to do something like create an partially enclosed area for photo shooting. Since its not too elaborate, and will not use too much data Tabula offers to create it for his friend, free of charge which the slime player accepts.

Much later Tabula is done and invites Bukubukuchagama to the 9th Floor to see what he created and takes her to the Photo Studio Tabula. It is a gimmick shop and the slime a little skeptical of the studio being fully functional.

Inside Tabula assures her that the place is more than equipped and introduces her to some of the rooms within. One of the rooms contain a Lily of the Valley centerpiece which leaves her awed by the flower arrangement. Bukubukuchagama is greatly impressed by the various rooms which include sets containing a brick wall painted with angelic wings, a night sky with a crescent moon, but gets taken aback when she sees that there is even a prison visiting room.

Tabula admits he added it as an entertaining joke and offers Buk to see how it can be put to use. Said use has Ulbert Alain Odle and Peroroncino role playing as guard and prisoner. Peroroncino playing out his role begs on the other side of the partition for his sister to help get him out, but Bukubukuchagama instead asks for her brother's prison term be extended to 200 years.

Next Tabula takes her to the next room which contains a mugshot wall which Buku tries out and gets an idea to use the mugshot space for some stylish logos like in some anime openings.

Another room inspired by comics has a slave wheel where Peroroncino is operating it as part of his prion sentence, but Bukubukuchagama is dissatisfied as there should be an overseer whipping her brother. Tabula though suggests she can arrange it however she wants in the future.

Taking a moment, Buku notices that there is a pattern among the rooms of the studio. Tabula admits that there is form of photogenic quality. The first room containing the flowers was shown to her to catcher her attention with a stunning beautiful scenes followed by more extraordinary ones to balance the mundane.

This notion convinces Buku to continue to inspect all the rooms. The next room is a yard containing a tree with a tire swing which Tabula tales pride in calling it what a customer needs. He gets annoyed when Bukubukuchagama light of it, calling it some sort of panda playground, but does find the simplicity enjoyable.

The room is a set from the painting of Vermeer, The Milkmaid. This is just the first room of reproductions of famous cultural art scenes. There are others like such as the Bull of Phalaris and the Sword of Damocles. Though Buku appears not to recognize any of the scenes. Tabula seeing that his specialty on myths is lost to his friend then directs her attention to more of the popular theme rooms.

One contains a beagle dog puppy to which Bukubukuchagama finds it cute, but notices that its blue and is sitting at the corner of the room. She then realizes that its a Hound of Tindalos. This surprises Tabula that she knows this, but Bukubukuchagama explains she is familiar with the media.

The next room is a Hero Photo Session Room, which is composed taking a picture with Touch Me. Though not a fan, of something out of a mall, Bukubukuchagama takes it in humor and has her photo with Touch Me.

The last room has a trolley car which Tabula explains is part of the Trolley Car Dilemma Room and spans into two rooms. It supposedly is to simulate an out of control trolley on rails that is about to hit those on the tracks. The only way to save them is to change the switches via a lever.

On one of the tracks are the possible victims: Ulbert, Momong, Shizyuutensuzaku, Punitto Moe, Touch Me and Peroroncino. Tabula decides to test it out and has Momonga stand on the tracks. Bukubukuchagama thinking Momonga as a likeable younger brother, decides not to change the tracks, but instead uses magic to cast "Position Swap" to switch places. She then buffs herself and calls forth her shields to do a "Walls of Jericho" and blocks the trolley.

Although unexpected, Momonga found the scene cool and took a picture of it and offers to share it with Bukubukuchagama. Tabula also found the experience entertaining when making the set. Though is disappointed in the trolley.

It was a gimmick and was supposed to unleash a trap but was it apparently it was suppose to fly at a target when knocked back. Bukubukuchagama thinks its due to her buff that eliminates knockbacks and offers to test it out again, though this time with with Peroroncino.

In the end though she just lets the trolley run over him while having fun taking photos of the incident.
