==Full Summary==
Ainz Ooal Gown thanks Aura and Shalltear for their hard work, adding that thanks to Zenberu Gugu's memory they are only a few steps away from the Dwarf Kingdom. Both female Floor Guardians affirm that they will protect Ainz and do their duty.
After Ainz Ooal Gown dismissed everyone to rest, Shalltear in her room begins speaking aloud in her quarters, reciting words and quotes using her notebook filled with notes she made of Ainz. Aura who was about to retire to a room overhears the vampire, attempts to knock on Shalltear's door to see what is going on, but Shalltear is too immersed in her fantasies of making Ainz proud. So Aura, barges in to finally get Shalltear's attention. 
Shllatear is annoyed by the intrusion. Aura apologizes as she was worried about her, as it seemed like the other Floor Guardian was talking to herself. Upon seeing the vampire clutch protectively on the notebook, Aura deduces that Shalltear is reviewing today's actions. Shalltear confirms that she has been reviewing everything that Ainz said to better help him. Aura though wonders who re-reading notes will be of help to Ainz. 
However Shalltear claims that by having these reviews she can imagine how to help Ainz in a possible troubling situation through imagination training. To help explain, she provides an analogy. For Shalltear she imagines a scenario of Albedo being overwhelmed by a powerful enemy, possibly the same who had brainwashed Shalltear or a player. Since Albedo is down, this causes Ainz to get serious and show his power. In that moment Shalltear intervenes as she believes it is unsightly for her master to take on an enemy of such a level. The Floor Guardian in her amor and wielding her weapon. Ainz consents to allow Shalltear to defeat the enemy as he states her power is second to none. The vampire then proceeds to use [Vermilion Nova], [Brilliant Radiance] and [Purifying Javelin] on the enemy. 
After subduing the enemy Shalltear’s lolbedo states her unwillingness to admit but conceding how powerless she was in the situation and admits that Shalltear is strong. Ainz offers her any reward, though Shalltear states that his words are enough as helping him is the greatest wish of all. And goes on to say she will annihilate any enemy for Ainz be it by collecting information, sending her subordinates to confuse the enemy, etc. All this she claims to do using the knowledge from Peroroncino's Game Encyclopedia.
This causes Ainz to laud her with praise, calling Shaltear strong, smart and beautiful. Even more Ainz calls her his pride and welcomes her to be by his side. Just as Shalltear relishes being in Ainz's embrace and get highly lascivious and more detailed on her big bust, Aura calls a stop to the fantasy due to the unrealistic imagery. Aura adds that so many points in the analogy was very unreliable and can't be used as imagination training at all. 
Shalltear is annoyed at Aura as this imaginary training is to focus on the future of Ainz and her. But Aura points out that how she describes herself is untrue, as Shalltear is undead and thus can't grow to be curvaceous. Upon hearing this, Shalltear begins to cry. Aura seeing her mistake tries to calm Shalltear. The vampire though getting her bearings gets Aura to sympathize with the feeling of wanting to be praised by Ainz and show off her skills.
Aura understanding the desire, then states that she does. On how Aura provides a reference, of when Ainz is approached by a large number of strong enemies she will be there. Shalltear recalls that Ainz once said that even if there are tens of thousands of enemies, they can still be defeated with magic. With that in mind, Aura has her story include a million enemies.
In Aura's imagination, she envisions Ainz and Albedo being surrounded by a million monsters. Ainz complains that he made a once and a million mistake that only happens in a thousand years and gotten into a precarious situation. Of course he is confident of getting out of the bind, though it will be messy and troublesome. Aura soon arrives riding upon Fenn to get through the siege of monsters. Aura despite knowing Ainz would never lose came to assist him, and with him on her beast's back they get through the monsters again, with Aura killing out the weak. 
To add a highlight to her skill, Aura suggests to her master that they salvage the all materials like fur and teeth from the defeated. Ainz hails her for her thoughtfulness and together approximately 10,000 pieces of materials were retrieved to be taken back to Nazarick so as not to go to waste. The remaining monsters are then defeated with the help of Aura's many pets. 
Albedo finally arrives wheezing to the already finished battle. For Aura's reward, Aura replies that she wanted to spend a day with Ainz. This is complied by Ainz who invites the dark elf for a hug and to sit on his lap. This request makes Albedo in her imagination feel jealous and also asks the same thing only to be refused by Ainz since Aura did her job perfectly. When asked if Aura also had any other wishes, Aura requests to be petted on the head which Ainz complies. 
At the end of the story, Shalltear asks Aura is Aura seriously only wants to spend a whole day with Ainz. But that is just what Aura wants a whole day together, playing and going out. Shalltear still wonders if that is really possible, but Aura thinks it's okay so long as Ainz says it’s okay. Of course everything they discussed was all just just imagination training. 
However Aura does feel a bit guilty having such thoughts without permission and wonders if they are being disrespectful to Ainz. Though Shalltear thinks that it isn't as how else would these imaginations be possible without respect. To give an example, Shalltear claims to do this every night, following Peroroncino wisdom on women's private conversations. 
Since Aura does not know what it entails, Shalltear explains that it was when more than two girls got together and where there is a certain chance that events will occur where contents are confidential. Even though Peroroncino is not female, he had a faint longing towards this concept. That being said, words that they had discussed about Ainz are not disrespectful but would be confidential. Aura is in agreement though believes it would be better if they keep today's matter a secret. Shalltear is of the same mind as the other Floor Guardians might be upset even if they are just imaginative musings, especially one which the vow to keep it a secret from.
Back in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Albedo feels a sudden chill up her spine. She wonders what the feeling is, and ponders if it is related to Shalltear and whether or not she is completing her mission properly. But since Aura is with her the Overseer Guardian dismisses the thought, so she assumes her unease is because she hasn't seen Ainz for so long, attributing her shaking to excessive loneliness. Not only that, the stress if having to deal with people who are indescribably stupid other than stupid people]]. Since all the work that must be done today is over, Albedo decides to reward herself by going to Ainz's bed tonight.
In the morning, Ainz is greeted by Aura and Shalltear, and finds the two women have stayed awake through the night. When he voices curiosity on what the did, the two Floor Guardians panic, seeing it is impossible to lie to Ainz. Seeing how suspicious they are acting, Ainz asks if there is some kind of secret they are holding, causing them to become fearful, apologizing for their chatting last night and asking for punishment. This only serves to confuse Ainz even more as he has no idea what they should be punished for. From what he can tell all they did was have a friendly chat.
To him Ainz feels that regardless of their age, the two are still just girls in their prime years so he can't penalize them for gossiping. While the undead is curious as to what the two were discussing he decides not to pursue the issue as he felt it was inappropriate to ask about it due it being private. But he surmises it was about Bukubukuchagama and Peroroncino. 
The two Floor Guardians are relieved, with Shalltear stating him to be much gentler than they thought. Aura then states that they should head out to find the Dwarf Kingdom. Shalltear thanks Ainz very much for his kind words, and reaffirms to protect him. Not knowing what they are happy about, Ainz is glad they are very motivated as they resume their mission.
