As Ains muddles his way through ruling his new kingdom, he continues to ponder over a particularly important question. Everyone in his kingdom and the Tomb of Nazarick is also waiting for his answer. What kind of kingdom does he wish to create?

While Albedo and the others make their moves toward world domination, Ains has his own little plan. He wants to cultivate true adventurers to explore the unknown, like the players in Yggdrasil. His recruitment efforts bring him to the Baharuth Empire...

The Clan Lord discovers that Ains and his group are approaching the royal capital and asks the frost dragons for help. The Dragon Lord sends his son to intercept the party, while Ains decides to split up the group to confront the Quagoa and frost dragons.
