Chapter 1369: The Maid's Challenge ⑧

The opening ceremony of the Maid Olympia began with the entrance of the competitors. The general participants, or rather, those who aren't so famous in the Maid World, such as Luna-san, are entering together, followed by those who have won top prizes.

[President, Miyama-sama, Duchess-sama, they're about to arrive... the Super Maids!]

As if in response to Frau-san's excited words, the voltage around me seemed to rise. Of course, as we couldn't keep up with the tension, we felt very left out...

"Now, she has come! The passionate Maid Seeker who has raised her Heart, Technique and Physique to the limit! The fierce Maidric Aura she was clad in becomes a burning flame in her heart, bringing forth the light to everyone! Symphonia Royal Castle's Head Maid... Super Maid of Heart, Beatrice makes her entrance!"

With an audible cheer, Beatrice calmly entered the venue, and her walking figure seemed to have the aura of a strong person.

As one would expect from one of the 4 Super Maids, she was extremely popular.

[The Super Maid of Heart, Beatrice-sama... As expected, she's amazing. Faced with the fierce Maidric Aura that symbolizes her, inexperienced maids would be heartbroken, unable to stand before it.]

[...I- Is that so... Amazing.]

As Frau-san clenched her fists and passionately explained, Akane-san replied with an indescribable expression on her face. Immediately after that, a loud cheer resounded again.

"The next one to enter... Her appearance is refined and elegant, and her skill, which has always been on the front line as a maid in the noble society of the Empire, which boasts a long history, has a beauty that fascinates those who watch her prowess! Archlesia Empire's Head Maid... Super Maid of Technique, Alexandra makes her entrance!"

The next to enter was a woman with a beautiful and elegant appearance that looked like a noble lady at first glance, and if she had been wearing a dress instead of a maid uniform, one could have mistaken her for a high-ranking noble.

[The Super Maid of Technique, Alexandra-sama... According to one theory, she's a former member of the royal family, and although she was born as a princess, she fell in love with the beings known as Maids and abandoned her position to become a maid. Her technique is one of the best in the Maid World, making her known as the Most Beautiful Battle Maid.]

[...Why the heck does that maid have "Battle" in her alias?]

I'm really glad Akane-san was here. She throws tsukkomis at things I wanted to retort at, so it was a little easier for me.

And if the Heart and Technique have appeared, then of course, the next one would be...

"Here she comes! Overwhelming stamina that is bottomless, does the concept of fatigue even apply to her!? Hydra Kingdom's pride, the Unsinkable Ship sets sail once again, charging forth in this year's Maid Olympia! Hydra Kingdom Royal Castle's Head Maid... Super Maid of Physique, Emily makes her entrance!"

The person who entered this time was a tall maid of nearly 190cm, with a smile that shows she's a good person, giving the impression of a lively and cheerful woman.

[The Super Maid of Physique, Emily-sama... Just like a never-setting sun, she has inexhaustible stamina, and it would be suicidal to challenge her to an endurance battle. She's someone whose performance will not diminish even until the end of the match.]

[...No, what the heck do endurance battles have to do in a maid competition?]

With her entrance, the Super Maids of Heart, Technique and Physique have arrived, so the next to come out should be...

"And last but not the least, the final member of the Super Maids comes! She is the Ideal Maid, the role model for all maids! She is faithful to the basics, yet everything she does is baptized to a high level, and flashy she may not be, no one will doubt her strength! She's one of the World King's Executives, the Seven Princesses, and the former champion of the tournament! Super Maid of Balance, Camellia!!!"

There comes the loudest cheer of all. Camellia-san describes herself as unnoticeable even when she walks around the city, but it seems that she's insanely famous in the Maid World.

I mean, Camellia-san is wearing a maid uniform... She probably got forced by Ein-san to wear that. For some reason, it feels like her eyes are somewhat filled with resignation.

...Also, Camellia-san won in the last tournament huh...

[Kyaaaa! Camellia-samaaaa! Please give me your autograph!!!]

[No, you won't even give out commentaries anymore!? You just ended up being one of her fans, oi...]

[I- I'm sorry, she's the maid I look up to so….. Erhem. Starting over again, she's the Super Maid of Balance, Camellia-sama. It should be said that she's the being that has pushed the basics to the Ultimate Level. In any case, with behavior befitting to be everyone's role model, she's said to be the ideal form of a maid to aim for. Also, her combat power is definitely among the top among the participants!]

[...Is there even anyone with low combat power among them? They do exist right... but if it's maids in this world...]

It's just my hunch, I felt like Akane-san had gotten tired. I know exactly how she feels. The atmosphere in the venue was so dense that it was already too much for me to handle.

With the start of the Maid Olympia already like this, I'm starting to get really anxious.

[Afterword]

"Super Maid of Heart" Beatrice

Maid Power: 120,000

She's an excellent maid who combines charisma, a passionate desire to improve oneself and high command skills, and she possesses a burning, passionate spirit. It's said that ordinary maids can't even stand before her presence.

"Super Maid of Technique" Alexandra

Maid Power: 130,000

Her real name is Alexandra Lia Archlesia, a former member of the royal family, but she gave up her royal status in order to become a maid. Because of her mixed parentage, having Demon blood on her veins, she has been the Head Maid in Archlesia Empire for several hundred years.

"Super Maid of Physique" Emily

Maid Power: 110,000

Originally the daughter of a fisherman in Hydra Kingdom, she's a cheerful and energetic woman. She's a Quarter-blood Mermaid, and is known as the Unsinkable Ship because of her stamina.

"Super Maid of Balance" Camellia

She's the basic standard for the Super Maids, and is considered a role maid for most maids. Despite her usual lacking presence, she's quite the star in the Maid World. However, as to be expected, unless she's wearing her maid uniform, the people around would usually not notice her. As per previous instances, the maid uniform she wears is one Ein has given her, and she wears it every time because she can't refuse her persistence.
