Case 56: A day in the life of a maid – First half.
''You don't act like a maid at all...!''
This was what Chloe told yesterday night after I ca back from outside. Apparently, I'm unhinged, blunt, disrespectful, and don't do my job properly, so the people might raise suspicions toward us, she said. I'm quite sorry to say this, but our image as a normal and healthy master-servant couple has long been ruined in the eyes of everyone. It didn't exist in the first place.
Now, I'm pretty sure this is just her dumping more reasons on top of her primary desire, which is for to serve her as a maid properly, but I digress.
''The sun is so nice...''
''Mhm.''
Nevertheless, Chloe has been helping ever since I t her. It is only right if I do sothing like this for her once in a while. I'm only doing it for a day—no more.
That's why I'm going out on an errand with Nydia. It is early in the morning, and we need fresh ingredients to make Chloe's and our breakfasts. Most commoner students here use the cafeteria for food, while most noble ones have their own cooks, but Chloe chose Nydia as her chef from the beginning.
I can understand that since this raven girl beside has a level 8 [Cooking] skill. Upon inquiring, she said she used to cook for fun whenever she had free ti, and 'sowhere along the line, it beca like this,' apparently.
''What do you want to eat today, Aurora.''
Nydia turns to with a refreshing smile.
''Hm... Steaks.''
''Sure thing.'' The raven maid hums. ''Lady Alia is so good recently. She gave us an unlimited budget for food.''
''Mhm.''
Nydia seems more excited than usual. Probably because I am with her.
If Chloe is correct, this girl right here is interested in as a romantic partner. I myself don't exactly know how to feel about it. I'm sure I don't hate her at all, but other than that...
While thinking so, it seems we have arrived at the marketplace inside the academy ground.
I follow Nydia closely, watching her choosing ingredients and bargaining with the sellers. As expected of a seasoned maid, she is skillful, able to buy two steaks at the price of one and a half...
Once back at the dorm, Nydia borrows the kitchen and begins to prepare the ingredients. I don't see her in a ponytail often, so it is quite refreshing.
''I'll go wake our lady up.'' I tell Nydia.
being here has no use anyway.
''Alright.''
After waiting a bit for the elevator to co down, the door opens with a ting.
''...''
''...''
A very sleepy-looking crown princess is there.
Obviously, people on the sa level as Chloe will live on the sa tenth floor. The crown princess is no exception, though I heard the saintess chose to stay at a church nearby. Either way, greeting cos first.
''Good morning, Your Highness.'' I bow my head lightly.
''...Good morning.''
''...''
''...''
No, why aren't you getting out?
''Co in. You are going to the tenth floor, correct?'' Sierra asks casually.
''...Yes.''
''I forgot sothing there. We'll go together.''
''...''
So I get into the elevator, and Sierra chooses the tenth floor. As the door closes and we begin to move up, I can't help but feel the crown princess's gaze on .
What is supposed to be a brief wait now feels like an eternity. It's awkward. But I don't really care. Or do I...? I'm supposed to be a good maid today, right?
Eventually, I turn to Sierra.
''...Your Highness, can I do sothing for you?''
''Let touch your wings.'' She imdiately replies.
''...Understood.''
It's not a wise decision to reject a princess here. Especially this princess.
TING—!
So, with Sierra feeling up my wing, we walk slowly, or more like Sierra walks slowly, so I have to match toward the end of the hallway. The way she touches is exceptionally tickling for so reason. And stop pulling my feathers...
Eventually, Sierra lets go of my wing once we reach Chloe's room.
''That was nice.''
She says simply before going straight back to the elevator.
''...''
With a brewing desire for petty revenge, I open the door and enter the dark room. On the bed is Chloe, fast asleep.
''Wake up.''
I tap her face a few tis. Instead of opening her eyes like ordinary people, Chloe grabs my hand and hugs it tightly to her chest, mumbling sothing in her dream.
Oh, wait. I need to act like a maid. That was rude of .
So I get closer to Chloe's ear and whisper. ''Please wake up, my lady.''
''!!''
Chloe imdiately jumps up and looks around in shock.
''W-What did you say, Aurora?!'' She exclaims. ''More, once more!''
''...No.''
I saw it in an ani once. That was more embarrassing than expected.
With Chloe nagging to recreate that whisper, I am sohow able to wash her up properly and place her at the table. Soon, Nydia arrives with a tray of food.
Because Chloe doesn't feel comfortable making us eat later, we three all have als at the sa ti. After enjoying Nydia's delicious breakfast, it is now ti to go to class. Chloe, not .
Which ans it is now free ti for us maids.
''Aurora, do you want to go on a walk?'' Nydia asks with a smile.
''Sure.''
I need to think about which SCP to choose. A walk will do.
So we go outside again, wandering around the academy side to side. The sky is clear, the sun is warm, and the snowy academy scene is romantic—a relaxing sight, for sure.
''Hm?''
That relaxing sight is imdiately disturbed by two girls sitting on a bench. It's Claire and Luxia. What a weird combination.
Upon getting a bit closer and using my skill, I can hear Claire talking about a certain person with an enthusiastic face. The saintess's face is no less eager, by the way.
''Ah, it's Miss Maid!''
Eventually, we are caught by Luxia's hawk-like eyes, or rather, Nydia just entered her mind-reading range, I believe.
''Let's go to them.'' Nydia says.
''Mhm.''
Claire and Luxia make so space on the long bench for us, so we sit down normally with next to Claire.
''Don't you two have classes?'' Nydia pokes out to look at the two students.
''Not yet. It's the next shift.'' Claire replies while Luxia nods along with a smile. ''By the way, we were discussing Miss G. Do you two know her yet?''
''I do.'' Nydia, unintentionally or intentionally, leans toward Claire, which ans she also makes quite a lot of contact with my body.
When Claire turns to with sparkling eyes, I reply. ''...Yes.''
Hearing our answer, Claire chuckles and looks at us with a smug smile. ''I bet you didn't know this.''
''...?''
Claire looks around intently, then whispers excitedly. ''This is actually classified information. They didn't want to release this because it would cause confusion... Listen carefully, Miss G can use three elents...!''
''What?!'' Nydia exclaims; Luxia keeps the sa smiley expression.
?
''...''
I'm speechless.
It's so embarrassing...
