Summary
Detailed Summary (Spoilers)

Starts with Enri and her life in that village with the 19 goblins she summoned and details about the village. The summoned goblins are actually intelligent and not only can read the mood they're trying to help the Nfirea hook up with Enri to make her happy. She saves a wild goblin and we find out they can also talk! They just decided not to do it in front of humans normally. He comes to the village with them. Lupusregina Beta shows up and talks like a sociable and we find out she visits them often and is quite friendly toward humans beings.They find out that the western and eastern bosses of the forest equal to the Hamsuke (around level 30) teamed up. They are planning something leading hordes of monsters and starting to kill the goblins.The summoned goblins try to investigate and find ogres along with the rest of the wild goblins who lived with the one they saved earlier. Enri becomes the boss of the ogres, wild goblins, and also becomes the head of the village. [they aren't evil just hungry and view humans as food. If they can fill their stomach with something else they won't eat them] She protests all of this because in her mind she's just a little village girl but the summoned goblins convince her of everything. Monsters attack the village including the eastern forest king. Enri and Nfirea get cornered by a troll and when Nfirea is about to die Lupusregina Beta saves him Ainz invites Nfirea, Enri, and her little sister to Nazarick. Ainz wearing the mask tells him "Your village is pretty dangerous. I heard you recently nearly died and lost everything? If you tell people about those potions I'm having you make, imagine who else might show up? So, keeping it a secret is best if you don't want anything to happen to village" Nfirea agrees it's best if the potions are kept a secret just between them.

Albedo summons a level 100 bicorn that's a two horned war horse and brags about it. Shalltear and Aura are impressed by it. Albedo tries to ride it but it collapses and seems like it's going to die just from her mounting it. Everyone is surprised and Albedo asks for help. Shalltear wonders if she's just too fat? Aura can't talk with animals while Shalltear thought she could. Shalltear brings out an encyclopedia and we find out the unicorns only let virgins ride them. The polar opposite is the bicorn that won't let a virgin ride them. We find out they're all virgins except maybe Shalltear cause she plays with girls. They talk about having Ainz help her so she can ride it.

Ainz is at the throne talking with Mare who has wet eyes and is rubbing the ring he was given by Ainz which is on his left hand ring finger while looking at him longingly. Ainz feels something is weird and asks Mare why he's staring at him so intently? Mare says it's because he's so cool. He feels flattered and goes to rub his head and lovingly talking about the NPC of Nazarick making those present at the throne really happy. Albedo is present at the throne and after Ainz is finished with his sweet words he tries to leave. Albedo looks kind of strange and he calls out to her and suddenly he feels danger. Instantly he's knocked to the ground and is looking at the ceiling while Albedo is on top of him. She's talking about how he has to take off his clothes or she will destroy them. She says how there's no need to be shy and she can't take it any longer. He orders the people present to help him and then sentences her to 3 days of being in confinement.
