In the main tournament of Maid Olympia, Frau-sanā¦ā¦ Well, as we had expected, she was defeated by the Super Maid Emily-san.
The match wasnāt even related to the Super Maid of Physiqueās specialty, her stamina, but about the taste of ingredients, and it seems that she was completely defeated in a competition of tasting 10 kinds of rare and hard-to-find ingredients.
And unfortunately, Luna-san, who had been making great progress, was also defeated by Beatrice-san in the quarter-finals. They had fought in a Repairing match, a speed competition to see which one could repair an apron dress that was torn first, and Luna-san was defeated by a large margin because of a clearly visible difference in techniques.
[Luna-san, Frau-san, thank you for your hard work.]
[That was unfortunate, wasnāt it?]
[As expected, was fighting Super Maids tough?]
When I called out to them as they returned to the audience seats, the two of them didnāt seem that depressed as they had grins on their lips. Frau-san seemed a little disappointed butā¦ā¦
[Well, Iām extremely satisfied with my results. Iāve only been a maid for a short time, so Iām really happy just to get in the Top 8.]
[Lunamaria-san, you still have the placement matches for rankings below 4th Place. If you do well, you can aim for 5th Place at bestā¦ā¦ On the other hand, I have lost in the second round for 3 consecutive termsā¦ā¦ It seems like reaching the third round is far away.]
[As expected, you just had bad luck with opponents. I had luck with my matchups.]
[However, Lunamaria-sanās strength really is quite highā¦ā¦ I too would like to receive guidance from that Illness-sama.]
Frau-sanās maid experience is quite longā¦ā¦ Since she mentioned attending the tournament for 3 consecutive terms, she would have been a maid for at least 12 years, and comparing her to Luna-sanās 6 years of maid experienceā¦ā¦ Thatās less than half of Frau-sanās maid experience.
Luna-san herself was quite dexterous from the start, but itās also true that Illness-sanās guiding capabilities are high. After all, Eta and Theta, who were terrible at first, rather than just having normal skills, they were now at a level that could already be described as excellent, so if you think about it carefully, sheās considerably amazing.
After that, in the placement matches for rankings below 4th Place, Luna-san worked hard and won 6th Place, which is a remarkable achievement for a first-time participant.
āLunamaria, who participated for the first time this year, was very wonderful. Seeing a new strong competitor amidst our ranks is always a welcome one.ā
āYes, sheās been a maid for less than 10 years, so you could say sheās still a bud waiting to blossom as a maid. The direction of her Maidric Aura is still not completely set. If it solidifies and she rises to the next stage as a maid, she may become a new wind blowing in the Maid World.ā
Ein-san also highly praises Luna-san. However, being a new wind blowing in the Maid World is probably meant as a compliment, and many of the people at the venue will see it as one. In this place, me, who thinks being complimented as someone a new wind blowing in the Maid World is something unpleasant, is the one unusualā¦ā¦ and I could really feel the difference in our worlds.
Anyway, Luna-san and Frau-sanās battles were over for the moment, and with the two of them joining the spectator group, us 5 will be watching the next matches.
And at the same time, it wouldnāt be an illusion that the voltage at the venue seemed to have risen further. After all, the four people left in the semi-finalsā¦ā¦ All of them are Super Maids, so what would be occurring hereafter would be battles between Super Maids.
[Things are getting fired up! Having the four Super Maids together is a precious moment, and as the four Super Maidsā abilities are quite evenly matched, we can expect a heated battle.]
[As for the matchups in the semi-finals, Beatrice-sama will be fighting Camellia-sama, and Alexandra-sama will be fighting Emily-sama.]
[As for me, I will be rooting for Camellia-sama. Iām her fan after allā¦ā¦]
[Hmmm, as expected, I will be supporting my senior, Beatrice-sama.]
Me, Lilia-san and Akane-san are all having funā¦ā¦ but as to be expected, the excitement of the two maids in our group is quite different.
And until just a little while ago, one person was explaining to us while the other was fighting in her matchā¦ā¦ but as the both of them were eliminated, from here on out, they seemed to be enjoying themselves as part of the audience, and they seemed to be quite excited.
[Akane-san, who do you think will win? I think that Emily-san, who has a lot of stamina and can handle fatigue well, will be the stronger one when theyāre competing strengths.]
[What I think? Hmmm, for meā¦ā¦ Since Alexandra-san has the highest Maid Power among them, I think it would be Alexandra-sanā¦ā¦]
In response to Lilia-sanās words, Akane-san thought for a moment before answering. It was interesting how the predictions of the four people were coincidentally scattered.
Frau-san is cheering for Camellia-san, Luna-san for Beatrice-san, Lilia-san for Emily-san, and Akane-san for Alexandra-san.
[What do you think, Kaito-san?]
[Me? Hmmm, I donāt really have any basis for my thoughts, but I somehow feel like Beatrice-san will win.]
[ā¦ā¦Somehow, when you say it, it sounds like thatās really gonna happen.]
[No, Iām really just noncommittally saying it, okay?]
Itās not like I predicted the future, itās just my random guessā¦ā¦ but come to think of it, I donāt think Iāve ever missed in the random hunch guesses I made back in that Monster Raceā¦ā¦
