Mission: Red Ogre Cried

れっど・おーが・くらいどミッション（泣いた赤鬼） · World & History · Battles & Events

Vol. 15, after the Kingdom's fall (estimated Years 3–5 after the transfer): to help Aura and Mare make friends of their own kind, Ainz staged a "monster attacks the village → Aura saves it" play in a dark elf village in the Great Forest of Evasha (the Great Sea of Trees).

The operation's name comes from the Japanese fairy tale The Red Ogre Who Cried; Ainz learned the name of this underhanded tactic, "Red Ogre Cried Mission", from a member in the guild era without actually knowing its source, and just pretended to understand
Mare had read The Red Ogre Who Cried and immediately guessed the operation's content
Background: under the pretext of paid vacation Ainz took the twins to the great forest; they first slipped into the elven capital and abducted an elf man to gather information, then restored him afterward (what they learned was the rough location of the dark elf village, unverified)
Aura tamed an Ankylo Ursus King, the royal species of the armored bears, and first killed one armored bear near the village
The Ankylo Ursus King burst into the village square and nearly ate the first-rate ranger Blueberry Egnia when Aura appeared and drove it off; Blueberry fell for Aura at first sight
Aura was then taken by the hunting chief Apple to see the elders and accepted by the village as a "savior"; afterward Plum Ganen became the village's most fervent Aura devotee
Three days later Ainz, calling himself "Ain Bell Fior", and Mare, dressed as a boy, entered the village as Aura's uncle and younger brother

Notes

Although the operation succeeded in getting them into the village, the Japanese sources' timeline records that the dark elf children never actually became the twins' friends.
