Chapter 1374 - Maid Olympia Main Competition ③

Incomprehensible development happened all around, with incomprehensible words like Maid Burst and Maid Vision getting brought up…… but at any rate, it seemed that Luna-san had won the match.

It’s just, once she returned to the audience area, Luna-san looked quite tired.

[……It isn’t that strange. The consumption requirement of Maid Burst is very significant. Right now, for the time being, you should concentrate on restoring your Maidric Aura. But even then, it would be good if you could recover half of it before the second rough……]

[Indeed. It does consume on me more than I expected.]

[It can’t be helped. It’s said that while Maid Burst is in effect, one’s Maid Power increases by up to 3 times. Making use of Maid Power that overwhelmingly surpasses Lunamaria’s current strength will inevitably consume you a lot of energy.]

[……It seems like the next one would be a rough battle.]

For the time being, what I do understand…… was that the technique she used is a short-time power-up technique which can be a factor in overturning the original ability difference between her and her opponent, but on the other hand, that techniques consume quite a lot of energy to use.

……But they were supposed to be making pastries, right? That explanation is clearly that of a battle manga though……

As I was thinking about this, I took a drink out of my magic box and handed it to Luna-san.

[……Here you go.]

[Eh? Thank you very much.]

Even though she curiously tilted, Luna-san obediently drank the contents of the cup I had given her, but upon seeing that cup, Lilia-san, who knew the identity of that drink, had an astounded look on her face.

Well, you see, I can’t just not do something while she’s exhausted, and I did say I’m here to support her……

[This is…… My Maidric Aura is recovering!?]

[Ah, I wondered if it might work, but it seems like it does recover with that too huh.]

[M- Miyama-sama!? What on earth is this drink……]

[A drink made from the Fruit of the World Tree.]

[Pfft!? Gehook….. Ghheook……]

I thought it might be possible, so I tried having her drink it, but it seems that Maidric Aura does recover in the same way as magic power.

With this, for the time being, I think Luna-san will be able to fight with all her might in the second round…… when Akane-san suddenly patted me on my shoulder.

[……Kaito, as expected, I really think you’re getting closer and closer to that World.]

[Please stop. Even if you think I’m abnormal, please lead my abnormality to other directions. I don’t want to be incorporated into the Maid World……]

I understand that this is a reaction to the fact that I just served someone a drink made from the Fruit of the World Tree, but I would really like it if she would stop treating me the same way as these maids. Seriously, that’s defamation of honor.

Perhaps inspired by Luna-san’s battle, Frau-san also put up an excellent fight and safely advanced to the second round. The second round was about to begin, and from this point on, the Super Maids would be joining the competition, so a fiercer battle was expected.

Looking at the tournament table, the first one among the Super Maids to fight…… seems to be Camellia-san.

“Now then, the second round’s first battle would be….. The Super Maid of Balance, Competitor Camellia makes her entrance!”

When Camellia-san appeared on the stage with an indescribable expression on her face, a loud cheer resounded in the arena. Her opponent was also a strong maid who had won in the first round, but as one would expect, fighting against a Super Maid made her evidently nervous.

Just as the battle was about to begin, Camellia-san’s opponent suddenly dropped to her knees and looked at Camellia-san with an entreating gaze.

“It has appeared! As is customary, it’s the Prayer Pose! It seems like she’s testing her luck.”

[……Unnn? What’s that? Why did she suddenly start praying?]

Akane-san, me and Lilia-san tilted our heads, but from the commentary’s words, it seems like this was customary practice…… Why though? As I was thinking that, Frau-san gave her usual explanation.

[It’s a scene that you can always see when Camellia-sama fights.]

[……Why?]

[It’s because the only thing they could do when fighting against her was pray. The match format of the Maid Olympia Main Competition is randomly determined by a magic tool each time. There are many varieties of match formats…… but there’s something that can be considered a Joker card only when you are fighting against Camellia-sama……]

[Joker card?]

Immediately after Akane-san tilted her head again, the magic tool determined the format of the match.

“The match has been decided! And that also ends the match…… for the match format is <Combat>!!! Oops, she has collapsed!!!”

[……A- Ahhh, so that’s what you mean…… That’s certainly convincing.]

[Yes, all of the maids are excellent in combat, but as expected, there’s no one other than President Ein who can compete with Camellia-sama, one of the Six Kings’ Executives…… Having Combat be chosen is equal to having your defeat be decided. The probability for Combat being drawn isn’t high due to the number of varieties of match formats but…… Even in the past, there have been cases in which her opponents directly gave up after a Combat match had been drawn against Camellia-sama in the final match.]

At this matter, even Akane-san was convinced as well. Well, of course, it’s understandable. In that regard, they would be facing an opponent in a match they can’t defeat her in. I see, so that’s why they’re praying huh…… They’re praying that a match format other than combat would be chosen…… How should I say this…… Camellia-san’s opponents are a bit pitiful.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Well, understandable. Even if the maids are a bunch of monsters, there’s no way they can win against the World King’s Strongest Subordinate…… Only against Camellia, if that low probability card was drawn, it would be an instant loss for them……]

T/N: LazyCat here. Daily chapters may be delayed, just like this one. I’m rather busy at around the latter half of December.
