As she walked towards her business partner, Akane called out to her guard/assistant, Frau, who was walking next to her.
[ā¦ā¦Iāve been wondering about this for a whileā¦ā¦ but there are too many maids in this world that have high fighting skills, donāt you think? No, Iām not really generalizing all the maids or anything like that, but I just had this impression that there are a lot of maids that are stronger than knights.]
[Haahhhā¦ā¦ Chairman, what are you talking about now?]
[R- Right. Why the heck am I saying things like this? I guess itās just that the ones Iāve seen happen to be like that, and itās not like theyāre usually-]
[Maids being stronger than knights is āthe most obvious thing in the worldā. Well, it would be a different story if itās a Knight Commander or a Captain, but thereās no way a top-notch maid would fall behind an average knight.]
[Eeeehhhhh, t- thatās what you meant!?]
In response to Akaneās words, Frau sounded rather astounded, as if she was speaking something thatās supposed to be common sense. However, the average combat power of maids in this world being higher than that of knights was indeed a fact, so in a sense, that really was a common knowledge in this world.
Even though that fact was hard to accept for the otherworlder Akaneā¦ā¦
[Listen here, Chairman. What is essential for a top-notch maid is a devoted heart, outstanding skillsā¦ā¦ and āoverwhelming fighting powerā. Maids who fall behind knights in that aspect are still second-rate or third-rate. In fact, itās because Iām much stronger than most knights that Iām working as Chairmanās assistant and guard.]
[No, no, why is fighting power necessary!? Where the heck in a maidās job are they supposed to utilize their fighting skills!?]
[If one were to lack in any of those three aspects, they will never be able to win at the Maid Olympia.]
[ā¦ā¦Hey, youāve occasionally mentioned that eventā¦ā¦ but itās not just a figment of your imagination and was seriously a real event, right?]
After throwing a tsukkomi at Frauās definition of top-notch maids, Akane asked her about the Maid Olympia.
The festival of maids held once every four yearsā¦ā¦ the Maid Olympia. If she were to be honest, Akane just dismisses Frauās words when she talks about it, thinking āsheās saying strange stuff againā.
However, she believed she canāt be blamed for that. One normally wouldnāt believe that such a ridiculous convention actually existsā¦ā¦ but listening to Frauās description of the maids today, she began to think that perhaps, such an event really does exist.
[Of course, it exists. Iāve participated in many iterations of the eventā¦ā¦ Well, Iām still a novice as a maid, so Iāve never advanced beyond the third round.]
[Really? Thatās a little surprising. Youāre one of the most capable people I know, so I would have thought youād be a champion.]
[I appreciate the high praise, but unfortunately, my Maid Power is just 47,000, and Iām not even close to being a Mid-level Maid.]
[ā¦ā¦No, wait, what are you talking about? Maid Power?]
[Maid Power is the numerical value of a maidās Maidric Aura, something which maidās were clad in when they possess the three basics of being a maid, the heart, the technique, and the physique. Unless one doesnāt have a Maid Power greater than 30,000, they wonāt be able to participate in the Maid Olympia. And those whose Maid Power exceeds 100,000 are called āSuper Maidsā, and other than the Ultimate Maid Ein-sama, there are only 4 Super Maids in the world. To begin with, there are different types of Maidric Aurasā¦ā¦]
[ā¦ā¦No, thatās enough, I donāt wanna listen to your blabber anymore. I feel like Iāll go crazyā¦ā¦]
Akane couldnāt help but hold her head in her hands when she heard Frauās outrageous story. She was slightly taken aback by the unexpected passion for maids from her assistant, whom she had relied on for her excellence.
However, as the head of her own trading company, she had a lot of experience. Quickly deciding that she shouldnāt get too deep into that kind of topic, she stabilized her mind and went back to their earlier topic, maids needing to possess fighting power.
[ā¦ā¦So, these Super Maids were also super in combat?]
[Thatās right. The 3 Maids of Heart, Technique and Physique have almost equal combat power, but the final Super Maid, the Super Maid of Balance is outstanding in terms of combat power. Incidentally, sheās also the kind of maid Iāve always wanted to be.]
[In the semifinals of a tournament a few years ago, there was a competition where they had to defeat a Leviathan that had gone berserk in the seas of the Demon Realm and make a dish out of itā¦ā¦]
[No, I wonāt let that slide! That aināt something maids should be doingā¦ā¦ W- Well, I guess itās too late to say that now huhā¦ā¦ Can you continue?]
[Understood. The Super Maid of Balance defeated the Leviathan with a single swing of her fist from the shore. In the process, āshe cleaved through the sea with that punchā.]
[ā¦ā¦Sheās a monster.]
The person known as the āSuper Maid of Balanceāā¦ā¦ was someone misunderstood by Ein as a maid, and because the said person was easily pressured, she was forced to participate in the Maid Olympia every time it occurred.
Incidentally, when she defeated that Leviathan, she muttered āI should have just used 5% instead of 10%ā to herselfā¦ā¦
[By the way, the Super Maid of Balance is the Grass Flower Princess Camellia-sama, one of the World Kingās executives, the Seven Princesses.]
[Ahhā¦ā¦ Ahhh! I see, is that so, so thatās why!!! Being an executive of one of the Six Kings, sheās definitely able to do something like that. What, you really surprised meā¦ā¦ In other words, the other Super Maids are also subordinates of the Six Kings or perhaps, Knights from one of the countries, right? And since they also needed to fulfill roles other than being a maid, their fighting power would inevitably be highā¦ā¦]
[No, the other 3 maids donāt have any other work other than being a maid. On a related note, 2 of those 3 are Humans, while the other is a Demon.]
[Then, there definitely is something wrong with the maids in this worldā¦ā¦ How scary.]
[If you want, would you like to come and watch the next tournament?]
[Absolutely not!!! I can only see a future where my mind will be contaminated for sure!!!]
If Kaito had been here, he and Akane would have hit it off very well. Mainly because they find that thereās something wrong with the maids in this worldā¦ā¦
