Happy New Year. I and the series are in your care again this year.As the sudden Special Judge role had finally ended, I returned to the audience seats. As the awarding ceremony is about to start, including the Champion Beatrice-san, Luna-san also headed to the stage because the competitors who apparently made it to the Top 8 would also receive extra prizes.[Is it the end after the awarding ceremony?][Ahh, no, we’re going to have an afterparty.][Afterparty?][The Top 8 will prepare dishes and pastries, which everyone can partake in at their leisure. It’s more like a showcase of the Top Maids’ skills.][Hmmm, that sounds like a lot of fun.]I see, there’s still such an event huh…… Luna-san is also a member of the Top 8, so she’d be among those who would cook dishes and pastries. I guess Lilia-san and I also can’t go home until that afterparty ends. Follow current on novelenglish.net
Well, I had already eaten 2 sets of dishes at the judging table earlier, so my stomach is already sufficiently filled. I guess I’ll just have some snacks at that afterparty.[Kaito-san, thank you for your hard work.][Ahaha, things got a little weird at the end…… but for the time being, this ends the Maid Olympia. The end was a bit of a mess, but it was a lot of fun, wasn’t it?][Yes, the competition was well thought out, and it was fun to watch…… Well, to be honest though, I’d rather not come back again……][I get you. I feel so out of place here.]The Maid Olympia was actually kinda fun. I was made to be a Special Judge at the end, but other than that, while throwing some tsukkomis here and there, I was able to enjoy myself.However, as there were many times when I couldn’t follow the maids’ mysterious logic that was often deployed in this place filled with maids, I don’t think I would want to come back again.[……However, Luna-san has reached the Top 8, right? Wouldn’t this mean she’s exempted from next Maid Olympia’s qualifiers?][……I’m going to decline next time.][Hmmm. This may be a rude way to say this, but to be honest, I can’t see a future where Lilia-san can refuse……] Follow current on novel-online.com
[What a coincidence. I also feel like I’d also be cajoled into attending again…… At that time, please be prepared to be caught up again, Kaito-san.][Eeeehhh……][Fufufu.]Lilia-san laughed mischievously. Lilia-san’s words just now sounded like it’s spoken in jest, but in fact, I wonder how it would actually turn out? In the Maid Olympia…… If I don’t participate intending to support Luna-san, there’s a high possibility that I will be asked to be a Special Judge just like Ein-san did this time.I wish I could be firm and refuse her…… but I feel really weak to earnest requests, or rather, I feel like I would somehow end up getting swept along.In that case, I even think that it would be safer to participate as a supporter.[Are you going to be at the afterparty as well, Akane-san? We will be going back home with Luna-san, so we inevitably have to stay until the end……][Hmm~~ I’d be happy to go home already, but Frau looked like she wanna join, and since we can eat for free, I’ll stay a little bit. However, I’m not going to stay until the end, and find a good time to go home.][Ehh~~ We’re not gonna stay until the end, Chairman? Let’s participate in a heated Maid Debate!][If you’re gonna involve me in such a thing, I’ll leave you behind.] Follow current on storynovel.net
[If you leave me here, will teleportation costs be included in the work expenses?][It’s not included!][……How unfortunate.]It doesn’t seem like Frau-san can use Teleportation Magic, and due to the fact that she will return with Akane-san’s Teleportation Magic, she will inevitably leave at the time Akane-san leaves.It seems like she doesn’t have the option of just staying behind. Well, I understand how she feels. There were a lot of audiences that had attended this event, so the Teleportation Gate would definitely be crowded and would take her a long time before she could go home. That especially goes with teleporting from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm, as it would require a fairly excellent Teleportation Magic User or an expensive Teleportation Magic Tool.Me, Lilia-san and Luna-san will return home with my Teleportation Magic Tool, so we don’t have such a problem. Lilia-san had also received a state-of-the-art Teleportation Magic Tool as memorabilia from the Six Kings Festival, so she can use it to return home.[Speaking of which, the Phantom Maid disappeared before I knew it. She was someone filled with mystery, wasn’t she?]Alice disappeared as soon as the exhibition match was over. Well, she is still behind me now, but I guess her disappearance gave the impression of being mysterious to the maids.……Well, for the time being, as the Maid Olympia has been concluded, let’s just enjoy ourselves at the afterparty.Serious-senpai : [I guess this ends the Maid Olympia Arc?]? ? ? : [Right. Since there have been consecutive chapters filled with serious battles, I guess the next arc would be something sweet?]Serious-senpai : [……Can you please stop that? No, I’m not talking about you jinxing the coming of a sweet arc, but you tagging those maid battles as something serious……]
