Ainz was in class 2, alone...

Ainz: "So let me remember what happened... It all started with this item I found in the storage room I found..."

"All undeads posses a passive skill that nullifies abnormal states, effectively negating psychological attacks. This magic item, 'Absolute Excitement', erases that passive skill. Since it only works on undeads and is difficult to use effectively, I've never even used it myself..."

Ainz: "(So HOW DID I ACCIDENTALLY USE IT ON MYSELF!? Usually my mental state was forcibly kept in check (by the green aura thingy), but now it's left to run wild!)"

Ainz: "(It's been so long since I've been this nervous... but this is actually the normal me!)

Albedo: "Ainz-sama?"

Ainz: "(Oh no! It's Albedo! What should I do!? I can't let her see myself in such disarray! Should I tell him that I accidentally use an item that makes me...like this?"

Ainz: "(No way I will tell her like that! I need to tell her another reason!)"

Albedo: "He is not responding... wait! Don't tell me something happened to Ainz-sama!?"

Albedo barge into the classroom by destroying the door. This shocked Ainz of course.

Albedo: "Are you okay!? Ainz-sama!?"

Ainz: "UH-HOO!?"

Albedo: "....? uh-hoo?"

Ainz: "I mean.... how are the floor guardians?"

Albedo: "You always care for us. Shalltear is at the infirmary. Cocytus is 'training' the soldiers. Aura is taking care of Hamsuke and the Death Knight. Mare is collecting information at the library with Beatrice, and Demiurge is collecting information about everyone in the school. Just like Ainz-sama commanded."

Ainz: "I see..."

Ainz looks at Albedo appearance.

Ainz: "(When I see her this close, to be honest, she looks beautiful! If I wasn't an undead I will surely fall for her!)"

Ainz: "Albedo, now that I see you this close, I think that you are beautiful."

Albedo: "(WHAT!?)"

Albedo: "Did- did Ainz-sama said something!?"

Ainz is getting emberrassed. He realized what he had said to Albedo unintentionally.

Ainz: "N-no, nothing."

Albedo: "No! I actually have great hearing! "You are beautiful" is what you say! Kyaa~"

Albedo fell onto the floor with heart eyes.

Ainz: "(What should I do about this!? I must make it through somehow!)"

Ainz: "Calm down Albedo!"

Albedo: "Yes, Ainz-sama! Should we plan a wedding, or make babies first? I am ready for you at all times! Today, I finally, finally found love..."

Ainz: "(I can't!!!)"

================================================================================

Since Ainz accidentally used the magic item: Absolute Excitement; Ainz became easily discomposed. Ainz needs to keep his actions in check so he can represent himself as, well, himself.

Lunch time....

Subaru: "Yo, Ainz."

Ainz: "Hello there, Subaru."

Subaru: "Ainz, can I ask you a question?"

Ainz: "Sure."

Subaru: "Can you explain that situation?"
