chapter 47

Everyone has finished eating a terrifying amount of karaage and night has arrived .

No, I really was surprised . Their stomach must have black holes inside .

Otherwise I can’t understand .

oys

Now then now then, as for me, I am making matching sky-blue apron dresses for all the maid-san puppets . I have calculated that I somehow have barely enough cloth, so I should be fine even without resupplying .

Just that, I need to make something for myself, so I still need to go resupply tomorrow .

flying maid legion!

The sky-blue apron dresses have one-piece dresses with a sky-blue colour that comes from the sky-blue lilies . It has the [Flight] skill .

The apron and headgear is the standard pure white . [Increased Defense] increases the durability of the maid-san puppets . Then I also equipped the maid-san puppets with underskirts, these are dyed with rosemary . This way I can reduce my MP consumption .

Okay okay, with this, all the maid-san puppets will be flying by tomorrow .

Fufufufufu, I’m looking forward to it .

me too

Since Ketorami-san is absent, I slept in my lonely futon, and woke up .

Good morning . Let’s have a fun day being a maid .

Now then, it’s early, but I’m having the maid-san puppets help me prepare breakfast .

They can fly . Their mobility has increased ridiculously . It’s very useful .

And cute . This is wonderful!

i really really want one

“Good mor……uwah, they finally started flying . Cute . ”

“Good morning~, mhm, they’re cute right? right? I’m not giving them . ”

3 of the maid-san puppets are currently flying around and organising things at high spaces .

They were probably so happy they became able to fly that they wanted to organise things they couldn’t reach before . I understand that feeling .

Furthermore, another 10 maid-san puppets have gone out with baskets and are gathering flowers .

I haven’t tried many plants in the 2F north area as dyes yet . I want to try some .

more strange effects

When everyone has gathered and is eating a breakfast of miso soup, rice and steamed bired with vegetables, the maid-san puppets that had gone to gather flowers came back .

But they seemed somewhat panicked as they came back . They threw their baskets aside and are desperately tugging at my clothes .

“Maito, what are they saying?”

“Nothing, unfortunately, these children don’t talk like Ketorami or Hanter . ”

“……I was under the impression they also spoke . ”

Mhm, unfortunately, these children’s language is only body language .

“Since they’re tugging at you, they might want to bring you somewhere~”

Well, probably .

But we are currently in the middle of eating . I had them wait until we were done eating, then we all went off in the direction the maid-san puppets tugged us towards .

other students?

“Oi, are we still going?”

“Isn’t Maito about to die?”

Sorry~, sorry~, it was a mistake trying to keep up without Ketorami-san……

I am currently worn out . Sorry .

The maid-san puppets that have become able to fly are much more mobile, and seem to have gone exploring very far away . And since they’re puppets, they are tireless .

Are we still going? When I tried asking the maid-san puppets, they nodded fluffily, can’t be helped, I followed .

fluffy nods

And after following for 30 minutes .

There was an extremely familiar classroom .

Yes . The information room!

Ah~, I see . Saegusa-kun and the others that were in the information room moved to 2F .

And next to that, the social studies lecture hall has been set up .

Hm, if I remember, the social studies lecture hall should have been at the eastern end of 2F north building . Since the news club should have been using that, are they inside?

If so then my acquaintance should be there . This might be a little fun .

Maito has friends!?

First, let’s knock on the door of the information room .

……there was no response so we banged louder, and the inside finally grew noisy, then, very carefully, the door was opened and Saegusa’s face peeked out .

“It’s been a while . ”

“Ah, it’s just you guys~ . Long time no see . ”

His complexion is a lot better than before . Mhm, it’s a good thing .

“For now, come in?”

“Aah, we will . ”

Standing outside and talking is kind of that, so let’s go inside .

Inside, there were a few guys other than those that were in the information room .

Probably the boys from the news club .

And seeing as the girls are absent, the girls should be sleeping in the news club’s room, the social studies lecture hall .

“How has Minehara-san been since then?”

“She’s been docile . Right now she’s just peacefully making dolls and controlling them . She’s reliable as fighting strength, well, she’s been a help . We haven’t forgotten what she did though . ”

Is that so, is that so . That’s good .

“By the way, Saegusa-kun, are you guys usually not awake by now?”

Currently, it is 8 in the morning .

“Ah~, we wake up around now? The girls seem to wake up a little earlier though . ”

“The girls are in the social studies lecture hall?”

“Yeah . We met up with the news club quite soon after coming to 2F . We are heading towards the chemistry lab while picking up nearby classrooms . It’s nearby right?”

Ah~…… Yes, but, well .

“Yeah but……we are not settled in one spot right now . ”

For now, we quickly explained to Saegusa-kun about the things we heard from [Alive Grimoire] .

“I see, so we need to gather the classrooms?”

“Yeah, probably . ”

In that sense, their work of gathering all the classrooms east of the 2F north building east staircase is worthy of praise .

“I see~, then leave gathering the classrooms around here to us . In exchange, we’ll leave 1F to you . Seems like we have to trust you with the gladiator tournament thing anyway . ”

“That’s a great help . Ah, President, map . ”

“Here . ”

President spread out the map he was carrying and explained things such as where monsters become stronger .

“Ah~……but, for this kind of things like maps, it might be better to leave it to the girls . Tsukimori-san from the news club is kind of like a human photocopy machine . ”

Tsukimori-san is one of my acquaintices .

We have been together from middle school . Our relationship is kind of dry despite that but……

Well, even if a bit complicated, I think we are kind of close .

Or rather, even without that, a human photocopy machine is too interesting .

What do you mean human photocopy machine?

errr……saa?

When we went over to the social studies lecture hall, the girls were already up and chatting .

Except for one person .

“……Tsukimori-san~ . ”

When I tried shaking her, she moaned .

“Five more hours……”

“I might be able to allow minutes, but, hours?”

“Mhm……”

And she dived right back into the ocean of sleep .

Can’t be helped .

“[Share]!”

I headbutted her forehead and woke her up . I’m already used to this .

“Uwah, what was that……hm? Maito?”

“Good late morning, Tsukimori-san . ”

“This is early . ”

Re, really? ……this is way oversleeping for a maid .

“It’s been a while, kinda . ”

“Yeah~”

……the conversation is strangely choppy, but this is the default .

okay……?

“What’s that Maito? Maid?”

Ah, of course she asked . Mhm, it’s okay . I’ve already come to terms with it!

“Maid . Profession is maid . Tsukimori-san’s?”

“Profession? Copy witch . ”

……what’s that?

“Part of the news club got professions related to newspapers . My profession is kind of related to printing . I can copy and increase most things . For example……I guess this works . [Imprint] [Multiply] . ”

Tsukimori-san’s hand suddenly glowed and the handkerchief she was holding increased .

This is directly challenging the conversation of mass to a fight .

“Even if it increases, of course it’s not permanent . There’s a limit to my energy and the increased objects disappear after some time . There’s a lot of restrictions, but I can conserve it permanently if I use another skill though . ”

As she was speaking, the handkerchiefs shined and disappeared, leaving only the first one .

Hou~, interesting .

“This, isn’t a combat profession right?”

Could this be another person with the same worries as me!? Or so I thought .

“I’m fighting by increasing the wounds on monsters to increase blood loss or even doubling the monster’s blood to burst blood vessels . ”

Hi, hieeeeeeeeeee! Isn’t that extremely strong! And extremely disgusting!

Somehow, I kind of feel the same atmosphere around Tsukimori-san as President……

nopenopenope

……by the way, I didn’t give up and searched, but unfortunately there wasn’t anyone weaker than me . Even though there’s this many people! Not a single non-combat profession!

even the newspaper types… .

And we ended up having breakfast with the people in the information room and social studies lecture hall .

Minehara-san went and got the ingredients for breakfast .

She was working so normally that I did a double take .

Mhm, well, it’s good that she’s somehow getting by .

people are too kind

And then breakfast .

For some reason, I’m making it .

As for why, it’s because the boy that was in charge of meals today was so clumsy I got irritated .

“Fast……”

“As expected of a maid . ”

A lot of people came to watch for some reason, but this is not a show!

learning

“Itadakimasu~”

“Up eat~”

(T/N: Yes she reversed the order of the words, she actually also does this occasionally when saying blonde hair too . hair blonde . )

We are eating in the classroom opposite the social studies lecture hall, the multipurpose lecture hall .

It is quite a clean classroom and has a large capacity, so it’s perfect for eating in .

And the point to retort about is why are the chemistry club members also sitting down to eat .

You guys already ate .

“Delicious! Maito-san’s good at cooking~”

“Wah~, delicious, how did you make this?”

The gentlemen just ate, but it seems the ladies are interested in how to cook .

We finished breakfast as I taught them a few things .

And then we started a meeting right there .

bouys please

“I think we, the information room, news club group, have quite a lot of fighting strength . We have a lot of people . So we could head west towards the english office and music rooms but……the brass band is that way . ”

The brass band must not be forgotten .

The brass band……they were using the west building hall to practice, so they should be quite close to the 2F northwest area .

And their number of people .

When the brass band goes for a contest, they can’t send everyone so they have internal auditions .

Basically, they have over 60 members

Or rather, just the 2nd and 3rd years alone probably exceed 60 people .

They’re already at the level of an army .

Since there is an army there, making contact with them early on is an option but……leaving them alone is also an option .

“So we’re thinking of returning to 3F for a while . Then we’ll collect the classrooms in the 3F north area . ”

Hm, I see . Quite efficient . We can join up with the brass band and collect the classroom at the end, so it’s better for Saegusa-kun’s group to go around 3F collecting classrooms .

“So, yeah . We have a request……”

“What is it?”

“Maito-san, you can sew clothes right?”

“Indeed . ”

“Then, just, just the girl’s share is fine, could you make some change of clothes? we’ll think of something to give in return . ”

……ah . I see .

I have [Cleaning] so we can live without baths or change of clothes, but that is not the case for them .

Particularly the girls, what have they been doing before this without change .

……uwah, they somehow became very pitiful . Young girls having to live without change of clothes or baths .

This is a rare scene where I’m useful!

always useful

After getting everyone’s permission, or rather, encouragement, I sent them off to gather wood .

I mobilised the information room, news club boys and some of the girls for this .

Then I had the weaker rearguard girls pick flowers and stuff . Basically dyes .

… . picking flowers… . mhm… .

And as for me, I fully mobilised the maid-san puppets, made fiber, had them spin and weave, I dye, they cut then I sew, at a terrifying pace .

Uheh, sooo busy .

After all, the information room and news club group together have 18+22=40 people .

Just the girls would make the boys pitiful, so I’m making their share too, so even if I made three sets for each person, 120 sets of clothing is necessary .

MP recovery tea disappears . It is disappearing at a very very terrifying pace .

But I can’t stop here . For the sake of the girls with way too bad standard of living .

120 set of clothes in one day… .

I skipped lunch .

I don’t have the time or mental leisure to be eating .

Everyone else seemed to just make something themselves and ate that .

Then as the sun set, the clothes are finally done .

They all have effects from [Dyeing] . Ah, because of that, I presented them with the clothes only after telling them not to let these fall into the hands of the locals .

The girls were delighted, there were even some that burst into tears .

Not having baths and clothes must have been tough .

I should have noticed earlier, sorry .

……but, seeing them so happy, there is no greater happiness as a maid .

……actually 120 sets in a day… . monster… . .

“Maito, Maito, come over for a bit . ”

Since Tsukimori-san called me over, I slipped out of dinner .

Ah, they made dinner for me . It was delicious . It wasn’t drugged either!

“Maito, lend me that hair clip a little . ”

“Here . ”

I removed the [Teleport] hair clip and passed it to Tsukimori-san . ”

“Okay . [Duplicate] [Duplicate] [Duplicate] . ”

And as Tsukimori-san’s hand glowed, the hair clip became 4 hair clips .

“Okay . We’ll keep 2 . Then here’s the original and one more . The copied one has 99% of the original’s ability, so rest assured and use it . ”

……wh, what is this! Is it okay for there to be such a cheat skill!? Aren’t you free to multiply items!?

“Ah~, I’m tired . I’m sleeping . Good night . ”

……ah, but this must consume a lot of MP .

That’s why Tsukimori-san sleeps so much .

……no, I don’t think that’s the only reason .
