"Overlord IV" Episode 5 highlights the dynamics between the Floor Guardians and Ainz Ooal Gown's diplomatic venture into the Dwarf Kingdom.
The episode begins with Demiurge arriving in Nazarick and finding Ainz absent. Albedo and Demiurge discuss their admiration and loyalty toward Ainz, emphasizing their deep respect for his leadership. Demiurge is impressed by Albedo's successful negotiations with the Empire, which offered to become a vassal state of the Sorcerer Kingdom after Ainz's brief visit.
Meanwhile, Ainz prepares for a diplomatic mission to the Dwarf Kingdom to learn about their rune technology. He hires Zenberu, a lizardman, and takes Aura and Shalltear as bodyguards. Cocytus humorously offers himself as a chair for Ainz, much to Shalltear's annoyance.
Shalltear, who had been absent in previous episodes, is brought along to gain field experience. The journey to the Dwarf Kingdom is accompanied by stunning landscapes and dramatic music. Ainz conjures a fortress-like structure for their campsite, showcasing his power.
During the trip, Ainz considers the possibility that another Yggdrasil player taught the dwarves their rune technology. Aura observes Shalltear meticulously taking notes about everything, which makes her worry whether Shalltear understands her role.
Upon arriving at the entrance to the Dwarf Kingdom, Ainz sends Hanzo to scout the area. They discover that the city is deserted. Aura encounters Gondo Firebeard, a dwarf who values the traditional art of rune carving. Gondo, despite his heritage, is humble about his skills and quickly befriends Ainz due to their shared interest in runes.
Ainz offers to help Gondo revive the craft of rune-making in exchange for his loyalty. Gondo agrees, seeing it as an opportunity to preserve his father's legacy and pass on his knowledge.
Their conversation is interrupted when Shalltear reports an attack by the Quagoa, a race known for their tough, armor-like fur and aggressiveness. The Quagoa are the reason the dwarves abandoned their city. Ainz orders Shalltear to capture the Quagoa and gather information, seeing this as an opportunity to forge a strong alliance with the dwarves.
Shalltear, clad in her battle armor, easily captures the Quagoa. Using a spell, she extracts information from their leader, revealing that they work for Clan Lord Riyuro and have orders to attack any fleeing dwarves.
The episode ends with the implication that Ainz will intervene in the attack on the dwarven city, potentially establishing himself as a hero to the dwarves.
