Extra: Valentine's Day Eve
[Harem Room: Royal Suite]
In the harem room of the 9th floor, a lady wearing a white and golden dress with the black wings attached to the back of the waist was smiling, looking at the projected screen.

It was the screen projecting the management authorization given to the NPCs. Being the master of the tomb, Ainz has access to all the management. While Albedo also has most of the access except for the vital defence system.
[A/N: Other guild members removed their roles of the Co-Administrator after leaving their weapons and possessions in the hands of Momonga.]
Although being the sub-administrator, she can't control the defence system laid by the 41 supreme beings. She can manage the defence system of Demiurge, but the ability only lies up to that.
All of those controls lies in the hand of the Administrator. She can only control those parts after receiving permission from Ainz.
At this time, Albedo was looking at this screen with a wide grin.
"Hehe.. hehe.. Fortunately, I've noticed. Hehe.. Tomorrow is the day. I'll have to prepare without being suspected."
Albedo was happy to find out the most important thing from the screen. It was neither the position nor power of the sub-administrator. The most noteworthy thing there was the date.

When the Great Tomb of Nazarick was in YGGDRASIL, the gamemaster had launched many special events to boost their game's popularity. So, she was aware of the event held on Valentine's day.
The events would be for seven days, and 14th Feb was the principal day. But now that it was already 13th Feb and she missed six days of events. Fortunately, she found out before it was too late.
"Oh, Shalltear~ Shalltear~ You're missing such a thing. Hehe.. When you know, it would be too late. Hehe.."
The date and time shown on the screen were YGGDRASIL's date and time. And it was only displayed on the Authorization panel and Treasury Management Panel. The reason for this was to record the log for authorization and treasures' entries. It benefitted Albedo too.
Now, only she knows about it, as the Authorization panel was only accessible to Ainz and Albedo. And Pandora wasn't allowed to exit treasury for the time being.
"Lord Ainz.. Ah.. Wait for me.. I'll be there soon. Hehe.."
Then, she called for Narberal to help her manage things for tomorrow. Soon, Narberal arrived before Albedo.
"Follow me."
Hearing this, Narberal followed her without questioning anything. After a few minutes, they arrived in a guest room on the same floor. Sitting on the sofa, Albedo started to discuss with Narberal.
"Narberal, Take these couches, wardrobe and miscellaneous things, except bed to the storeroom. It'll be hinder the dignity of Nazarick to destroy these things. Also, call out for a few maids who are off duty. They'll be of help in managing."
"As you wish, Lady Albedo."
"And, be careful. Lord Ainz shouldn't know about it."
When Narberal heard Albedo's words, she hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Lady Albedo, that.."
"Rest assured, it's a surprise for lord Ainz. Lord Ainz might find you but try your best. If you clearly avoid Lord Ainz's daily route, then it shouldn't be difficult."
Narberal is more loyal to Albedo than other guardians, but it isn't comparable to her ultimate master. She wouldn't deliberately hide it from Ainz. But after hearing surprise, she was reluctant to do so.
And the main reason was that it didn't harm Ainz in any manner. So, after careful consideration, Narberal nodded her head. Then she left with the pieces of furniture in her dimensional storage.
"Hehe.. Let's remember what are the things I need, and prepare the models."
Nazarick had once celebrated valentine's day. So, she naturally had experienced the environment of that event. Soon, she recalled the primary things for the decorations.
"[Create Item]"
Under its effect, a small portable room model with detailed decoration appeared out of thin air. [Create Item] was a 3rd-Tier spell that creates an item in exchange for the small amount of MP. It's an inferior version of 7th-Tier [Create Greater Item].
Albedo couldn't use [Create Greater Item] of 7th-Tier. It wasn't because she couldn't use 7th-Tier magic, but because of the class restriction of a warrior.
"Perfect~ With this, Narberal could surely create the necessary decoration materials."
After waiting for around 15 minutes, Narberal arrived with 25 maids. All the maids followed her to the room and lined in five rows.
"Lady Albedo, they are here."
"Mhm.. Alright. Narberal, create the materials needed for designing this room according to this model. Can you do it?"
Albedo raised her eyebrow. Although the model was small, it contained many decorative items with stylish types of furniture. It was the portable version of the relatively large room.
So, she asked Narberal if she could do it. She didn't want to search in the repository room, and the treasury room was not accessible. And, her hope was on Narberal.
"Of course, Lady Albedo. Although it might be difficult without gold coins, it's not impossible. The only side effect is MP loss, which is non-existence compared to my full MP."
While creating the items using [Create Item], it consumes MP temporarily. But, using [Create Greater Items], high-quality products are created in exchange for permanent MP loss.
And the MP is only recovered after the item is destroyed. But if gold coins are provided, then it only consumes MP temporarily.
"Alright, then create these items, and decorate this room according to this model. Also, think of a way to adorn and put this bed in the most beautiful way."
"As you say, lady Albedo."
Then, she began to create many items displayed in the model in the fitting size. The items created were recorded by Albedo on the Screen.

Like this, hundreds of decorative items were being created. The maids also started decorating, while five of the maids were sent to order the Head chef to cook for Albedo.
Narberal spent about 0.3% of MP, and it finally finished after half an hour. The created items weren't weapons or armours, so only a small amount of MP was required. Her large MP also made the spent amount negligible.
After finishing the creation, she also joined to decorate the room. It took about an hour, and the decorations were almost completed. Looking at the room with a satisfied expression, Albedo said to Narberal.
"I've designated the location of the banquet system in this room. Inform the head chef to send it directly."
The banquet system was the system of the banquet hall, but Albedo could mobilize it in another room temporarily. And the other controller of the system was the head chef, Sous chef, Sebas, and the permitted maids.
"Okay, lady Albedo."
With this, Narberal left the room while the maids were left to check for possible mistakes in decoration. Albedo once again checked the time, and a screen appeared in the air.
