Chapter 1853: s.h.i.+p Party Invitations ⑥
In the President’s room at the Headquarters of the Mik.u.mo Trading Company, Akane looks at the invitation letter she received from Kaito and speaks to Frau.
[I’m looking forward to the party hosted by Kaito, but I’m worried about it. It seems like influential figures from various fields would be gathering there, and while it might be great for networking, I feel like doing that there would just make my stomach churn.]
[Well, I’ll just leave that to the President and enjoy the party. I’m also an invited guest after all……]
[You sure have a great personality.]
As she’s acquainted with Kaito, Frau had also received an invitation, but unlike Akane, who is the President of the Mik.u.mo Trading Company and needs to network, she doesn’t need to engage in greetings and such.
Moreover, if it’s an event hosted by Kaito, Alice and her people would also take it seriously, so there’s no need to worry about the safety of the venue. There wouldn’t be a problem even if Akane’s guard, Frau, didn’t accompany her. In fact, with the security measures in place, if something did happen, Frau’s abilities wouldn’t be sufficient to handle it in the first place.
[……Come to think of it, it seems that for this s.h.i.+p party, there was a request sent to the World Maid a.s.sociation for staff, which had been causing a bit of a stir among the maids right now.]
[Is that so? Well, it seemed like Kaito had plenty of acquaintances, so hiring staff for service would be necessary. However, serving at a party where the Six Kings, the Supreme G.o.ds, and even G.o.d of Creation-sama herself might attend would be quite enormous.]
[Yes, it seems that there was a preliminary cut-off based on Maid Power. Despite that, it’s such a prestigious opportunity that there’s a rush of applicants, so in the end, it was decided they’re going to conduct a very large lottery.]
[Hou~~…… I hate how even though you’re just casually incorporating Maid Power into an ordinary conversation, I’m not even questioning it.]
Akane mutters with a bemused expression on her face, but Frau continues the conversation unperturbed, seemingly lost in her own thoughts.
[The maids are also highly aware of the situation. It seems that several people have already been personally nominated by President Ein, and some of them are already starting their “mountain seclusions” in preparation for the main event.]
[……No, the heck is with those mountain seclusions!? That doesn’t seem connected at all! You’re supposed to be serving people, what are you doing in the mountains!?]
[What are you talking about, President? When a maid speaks of mountain seclusions, it obviously refers to performing the “Three Great Maid Asceticism”……]
[No, why the heck are you acting like that’s common knowledge!!!? Just so you know, you maids aren’t within the realm of common sense, okay!? Rather, the heck is this Three Great Maid Asceticism anyway!!!?]
In response to Frau, who speaks as if it’s a matter of course, Akane’s heartfelt screams echoed in the room. She looked fed up with how absurdly beyond the norm the Maid World is, but unfortunately, it seemed like the story wasn’t over yet.
[The Three Great Maid Asceticism refers to the traditional training methods to enhance one’s Maid Power: “Rock Crus.h.i.+ng”, “Waterfall Splitting”, and “Cloud Cutting”. It’s said that maids who accomplish these tasks can significantly increase their Maid Power, with the greatest improvement reportedly an increase of 5000 Maid Power. I myself once undertook these tasks to train my Maid Power.]
[No, those totally looked like training for battle though!? Also, what does that have to do with serving!? How the heck does something like splitting waterfalls apply to serving!?]
[What are you talking about now, President? Splitting waterfalls and serving are two different things.]
[Then why the heck are you training like that!?]
Akane was already getting tired from throwing too many tsukkomis, but perhaps it’s also just her nature that she can’t help but react to everything. Even though she understands in her head that she’ll probably just get some incomprehensible theory in response to her words, she just can’t seem to suppress the impulse.
Seeing Akane’s reaction, Frau sighed in exasperation, looking slightly astounded at her.
[I’ve told you already. If one completes the Three Great Maid Asceticism, it will be an increase of 5000 Maid Power…… Maid Power signifies how skillful a maid is. This number has a great influence on a maid’s skill as a waiter. So, to sum it up……]
[To sum it up?]
[……If one splits waterfalls, they become a better server.]
[HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!!!?]
Of course, there was no way such a theory beyond common sense could be accepted by anyone other than the maids, so Akane was shouting at their highest volume of the day.
【Three Great Maid Asceticism】
It’s natural for a maid to have perfect control over her body’s movements, and it’s expected of a top-tier maid to crush boulders into sand using only her limbs.
With the Maidric Aura emitted by a top-tier maid, splitting a waterfall is easy. A maid shall never be obstructed by anything other than her master, and it should be a matter of course to repel waterfalls with just the emission of the Maidric Aura without moving one’s body.
The actions of a true maid seizes everything in existence, making one capable of splitting the sky, crus.h.i.+ng the earth, and even parting the sea with ease. However, to wield such power for mere tyranny makes one beneath a third-rate maid. A top-tier maid should refine and control her power perfectly, naturally being capable of the act of cutting the clouds floating up in the sky without stirring a single breeze.
