I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1368 - The Maid's Challenge ⑦

Chapter 1368 - The Maid's Challenge ⑦

While I was talking with Akane-san for a bit, Frau-san approached us.
[Chairman, so you were here. I understand your excitement, but please try not to stray too far.]
[You left on your own! If I hadn’t met Kaito, I would have been left alone in this lair of maids!]
It was indeed frightening just to think about being left alone in this place. After that, Frau-san lightly greeted me, but when her gaze turned to Luna-san, she stiffened.
From the tense look on her face, one could feel the sharp atmosphere on the verge of battle around them, while Luna-san herself also had a serious expression on her face.
[……Maid Power 52000…… Stronger than me……]
[47000…… I’m numerically superior, but she probably has more experience than me……]
[Are you also going to join the Maid Olympia?]
[Yes, so you too huh…… It seems that you would be a formidable opponent.]
Sparks seemed to be flying through the air. It was as if both being maids, they considered each other rivals and understood each other’s strengths.
[……Why the heck do you look like you met a worthy opponent before a tournament in a battle manga?]
[Their atmosphere does feel different.]
[……Rather, is Maid Power something that you can tell just at a glance?]
Of course, Akane-san, me, and Lilia-san, who couldn’t keep up with the situation, had indescribable expressions on our faces. Both of them are reading each other’s Maid Power as if it’s natural, but I wonder how they could judge that.
I heard they judged it from something they call Maidric Aura, but in the first place, I have never been able to sense that Maidric Aura. Is it something that only maids can sense?
I’m curious about it, but as there’s a high possibility that a conversation that I don’t understand will unfold if I carelessly ask, I have no intention of actually asking it.
Just like that, after we chatted for a while, as we had no intention of looking around the stalls, we decided to head to the audience stands.
When we arrived at the audience area…… I found that there were only maids everywhere I looked.
[As expected, everyone’s enthusiastic.]
[……No, Frau. Why are you here? Lunamaria-san went to the opening ceremony, right?]
[Ahh, going to the opening ceremony is optional…… Since this would be Lunamaria-san’s first time in the Maid Olympia, I recommended that she attend, but since I have appeared many times, I’m here to give an explanation to Chairman and the others…… I’ll head there when it’s my turn to compete.]
[……Hmmm…… I’m not sure if I should be thankful for that or not.]
I understand how Akane-san feels. To be honest, without explanations, it’s impossible for me to understand what was going on, so I’m grateful for Frau-san’s explanations.
However, just thinking about being forced to listen to their incomprehensible maid logic, so I wasn’t really that inclined to be obediently grateful…… I have very mixed feelings about this.
“Well then, the opening ceremony of the 231st Maid Olympia starts.”
[Wait, that’s quite a lot of times! This happened 231 times already!?]
[The Maid Olympia is a venerable event with a history of over 800 years.]
[……You lot have been doing this for 800 years already huh, what the heck is with you maids…… Scary.]
I strongly agree with Akane-san there. Despite being so popular that it has been held more than 200 times, it’s a bizarre tournament that is almost unknown to anyone other than maids, with the audience made up entirely of maids.
[……The feeling of coming to an unexpected place sure is amazing.]
[It’s said that maids have their own networks after all. Even back when I was working in the Knight Order, the Maids were quite special. We had many opportunities to do missions together……]
[Missions…… together? With maids?]
[Yes, many of the maids were equal or superior to the knights in terms of combat power……]
[Speaking of which, I suppose they are huh.]
Perhaps, I need to redo my perception of things. I thought Lilia-san was similar to me and Akane-san, but there seems to be a slight difference between us.
Lilia-san can’t keep up with the maids’ logic and their extremities, but since she was brought up in this world, it feels like she recognizes things like maids as strong as knights as common sense.
Even if the both of us couldn’t understand what was going on, there was a difference in the scope of our understanding, and if I don’t pay attention, we may find discrepancies in perception in strange places.
[Speaking of which, did you guys know? I heard that all four of the Super Maids are participating in this year’s competition.]
[Unnn? Don’t all of them usually participate?]
[Yes, because the Super Maids are very busy, there are many years when one or two of them have no choice but to not participate. The only one who got the perfect attendance is the Super Maid of Balance.]
[……She has been attending every year?]
[Yes. Perhaps because she’s personally acquainted with President Ein, she comes to attend with her every time……]
[……Is…… that so……]
I see, Camellia-san got perfect attendance huh…… I guess she’s called by Ein-san every time the event is happening and pushes her to attend. Even just hearing about this, I couldn’t help but pity her.

? ? ? : [Incidentally, it seems like Camellia-san has the most wins.]
Serious-senpai : [A perfect attendance from an event that happened over 230 times…… You’re too easily pushed, Camellia.]
