== Summary ==
In Class 1, the students are preparing to do a play for the upcoming school festival. Reinhard and Naofumi have Filo run an errand and pick a theme for the play. To help her decide, he asks her to talk to a bunch of people about what kind of play they would like. 
Filo first goes to Subaru, Aqua, and Aura, who are taking care of Hamsuke and the Death Knight. The three of them are surprised about the festival as Roswaal never told them or that their class will be doing a play as well. Hamsuke suggests doing a play on her master, but Aqua rejects the idea due to her prejudices against the undead before using her magic to purify the Death Knight for agreeing with the idea. Aura scolds her behavior as unbecoming if she wants to be friends with others. Using a term she heard from her master, she calls Aqua a "tsundere," meaning she is mean to the people she likes. Aura recommends that Filo talk to more people for ideas.
Filo approaches Albedo and Shalltear Bloodfallen swooning over Ainz Ooal Gown. The Filolial tells them about the play and Hamsuke's comment about doing a play about Ainz, causing the other two women to agree that it is a wonderful idea. Both claim for major parts and get into an argument, only for it to be diffused by Ainz. The Overlord apologizes to Filo, as they do not know much about drama, and directs her to Kazuma's group. 
In the field, Megumin demonstrates using her explosion magic to destroy a target to her audience: Kazuma, Tanya, Viktoriya, and Filo. Tanya is impressed by the output of the spell, but suggests using a shorter incantation, only for it to be rejected by Megumin, declaring that it isn't cool. Tanya states that in a life or death battle, time is a factor. Kazuma tells Tanya that Megumin's incantations are a mystery to others and is not even sure if they are even necessary for the magic caster. Filo doesn't get much advice, but is fed by Viktoriya on the sidelines.
In the school hallways, Filo is having a difficult time as everyone is saying something different. Emilia and Puck greet Filo and ask her if everything is alright, seeing her forlorn face. Filo states that she is looking for a theme for a play at the school festival, but is having trouble deciding on an idea. Emilia suggests that she go to the library, as it has lots of books, which delights Filo, who rushes there. After she leaves, Puck states that they need to ask Roswaal about the upcoming festival.
At the library, Filo is assisted by Mare, who offers her a book that is easy to read for her: Gentle Fairy Tales. Beatrice, seeing that the girl has what she want, tells Filo to go. After Filo leaves, the two quietly continue reading their books, until Beatrice asks Mare if he remembers how he ended up in this world. Mare tells her that it was a button that brought him and his comrades to this world. Even though Ainz says it was his fault, Mare believes that the Supreme Being had a reason for doing so. Beatrice murmurs that it's nice to have someone he can trust. Mare asks why she doesn't have one, only for the girl to tell him that she doesn't anymore. When asked about Subaru, she deniesit and doesn't even trust Subaru as far as she can throw him.
Happily walking back to Class 1, Filo encounters Lupusregina Beta, who is curious at the book she has. Filo shows her the book, which Lupusregina flips through and pretends to tell a story about a poor little bird that was tricked by an evil man and turned into food. Before she can proceed, she is karate chopped by Yuri Alpha and Narberal Gamma. They scold her for making up stories, but Lupusregina said she was just having fun and seeing how far she can bend the rules. Yuri warmly greets Filo and asks if she is looking for a theme for Class 1's play. Filo confirms and shows her the book that Mare and Beatrice gave her. The other two maids offer to help, until Lupusregina offers her own suggestions, causing the other two to smack her again. Lupusregina states that normal stories are too boring and that Narberal is a terrible actor, causing the other maid to grab the red-head's face. 
They soon attract the attention of Koenig and Neumann. When they ask what's going on, Narberal tries to brush them aside. The two men feign fear as Narberal insults them. Lupusregina then declares they should do a play on the Ugly Duckling, finding it perfect for Narberal since she is so violent, which causes Narberal to grab her face again. The Ugly Duckling catches Filo's interest and she decides to choose it, leaving the group while thanking them. 
Back in Class 1, Naofumi finishes reading the story for Filo, with Felt, Raphtalia, and Reinhard. Filo and Raphtalia like the story and agree to do a play on it. Agreements are followed by Reinhard and Felt to do The Ugly Duckling. Naofumi congratulates on a good job, though Raphtalia is a bit disappointed that he didn't ask her, but Naofumi tells her that her chance will come, only for Raphtalia to tell him to stop treating her like kid.
