This does give Gazef and Climb something to bond over, though, and we get a pretty neat bit of the two of them training in a tower, with Gazef noting that Climb isn't born with any sort of talents - but he can at least try to improve himself.

Meanwhile, we finally get a good look at Climb, the youthful blonde kid in silver armour that we briefly saw earlier in the series, and he's apparently a commoner orphan picked up by Princess Renner, but all the nobles scoff at him even worse than they do at Gazef. Also, Narberal is also serving as bait to the nebulous Yggdrassil-related forces that took over Shalltear. We also have a brief bit of talk between Ainz and Narberal about Narberal buying iron ores to see their 'exchange rate' in the 'exchange box', whatever it means. It also answers a bit of a burning question I had as to just where Sebas managed to get all that money to buy scrolls and a mansion in the middle of Re-Estize.

It's like an RPG character that has to spend money to rebuild a town, huh? All Assassin's Creed style. We get to see a brief bit of Ainz in this episode, though, as he splits up the money he's earned, noting that he's going to have to split up the funds between Sebas's efforts to infiltrate the Re-Estize kingdom, as well as giving money for Cocytus to build up the Lizardmen village. So it's inherently a lot more interesting to see the introduction of the various factions of Re-Estize. The thing is, though, unlike the sudden tonal and focus shift to the lizardmen that we had earlier, we actually already had hints about the Re-Estize's kingdom's crappy politics and internal conflict between the Royal and Noble factions foreshadowed all the way back from the first season with how the Noble faction essentially attempts to get rid of one of the King's biggest supporters Gazef. This is an episode equivalent to episode 3 of this season, except we swap out lizardmen tribal problems with that of the Re-Estize kingdom.
