Moto Sekai Ichi'i no Sub-chara Ikusei Nikki Chapter 59.5 Idle Talk – A Maid’s Story

Chapter 59.5 Idle Talk – A Maid’s Story.

＜ El and Es ＞

There was a group of ten people directly under the chief maid Yukari―― The all-purpose maid squad reverently called 『The Great Ten』.

Right now, each of those ten were “Demon Captains” who had over ten maids under them as subordinates, but they were originally “Newcors” working under Yukari as their captain.

……If any of the new maids would complain about sothing, those maids would surely answer with: “Work without saying anything is impossible”.

Among the Ten Great were two red-haired sisters, called El and Es. El was the elder sister, at 16, and Es was the youngest, at 15 years old. El had shoulder-length hair, a bit improper for a girl, and her character was tough and strong-minded, like a tomboy. Es on the other side had a side ponytail, and she was more like a ek girl. Their nas and appearances were quite similar, but their personalities were the complete opposite.

There wasn’t a single maid in House Firstest that didn’t know of these two. Why? Because it was really easy to rember them. The sun and the moon, fire and water, convex and concave…… there could be many comparisons, but these sisters’ personalities were like that.

And the characteristics of these two girls were remarkably reflected on their squads.

The elder sister-led group called the 『El Squad 』 was known as the best “fighting group” among the all-purpose maids. Only those with higher than normal fighting skills were gathered here, and they were harshly trained until they were exhausted. Therefore, the new maids feared it. “It’s very hard to join them,” they said. On the other hand, those with strong fighting spirits actively volunteered for the El Squad. Being part of the El Squad was proof that you were a fierce person. But as a result, the surrounding people always saw them with weird eyes.

The 『Es Squad』 led by the younger sister, on the other hand, was said to be the most “Orthodox” group in the all-purpose maid corps. In this squad, all mbers continued to polish and refine different kinds of skills every day, until they reached the level worthy of being called “All-purpose maids”. Obviously starting off with waiting, cleaning and laundry, but also self-defense techniques and language, going all the way to business administration. At first glance many saw it as wide and shallow knowledge, but in reality, it was outrageous. Extensive and deep, more extensive than anyone, deeper than anyone. The maids who didn’t asure up were quickly cut off. In that sense, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Es Squad was a carefully selected “Elite Group”.

So, like this. Each Squad had their own characteristics.

But those quirks weren’t visible at the beginning. Only as they spent ti together, did their captain’s character and beliefs gradually influence them.

In short, who they followed was how they grew. Almost like a parent and a child.

——

——

“Hey. Bitch, you stole my headband, didn’t you? “

On a certain day. El Squad’s maid Momo grabbed another maid by the chest in the cafeteria. As one could see from the rough attitude and tone, she was a famous maid even among the newcors as a hardcore bully. Whether it was good or bad, her 180 centiters height was considerably intimidating, simply by standing next to you.

“Ara, what would you be talking about? I really have no idea.”

The other maid was Marina, a mber belonging to the Es Squad, and an Elite according to herself. She was a maid with a sowhat high amount of pride.

“Don’t lie to ! You stole it! “

“Why would you think I did such an act? There’s no evidence of it.”

“Ha! I saw you when you did it! “

“Like I said, where is the evidence? How can you prove it was ? “

“Evidence? It’s in my eyes……”

“You know, it’s a bother to be told so randomly that I stole sothing without bringing any evidence. Just like Es-sama has repeatedly said, it’s important to secure evidence. Right? Girls.”

Marina then asked the people around her. And surely, just as Marina said, the maids next to her, who were also close friends, nodded without hesitation. In a complete turn around, the atmosphere in the place now changed and Momo was now seen as the villain.

“……But I saw it.”

“Haaa, how many tis do I have to say it so that you understand? It’s just a waste of ti. I’ll just say it one last ti. How can I be a suspect if there’s no evidence? “

“…………Tch.”

Momo, with a mortified face, released the hand holding Marina up. Marina dusted off her chest, then opened her mouth again.

“How can soone with this low of intelligence work as a maid? Oh. Speaking of which, you aren’t very maid-like…… go away, your stinky sweat will stick to .”

She giggled, as if to make fun of her. Momo couldn’t say anything back, she just clenched her fist. Then, sensing she had the upper hand, Marina continued further.

“Get it? We’re maids who serve the great one who will one day will beco the world’s greatest. You should feel ashad to call yourself a maid serving the Firstest Family. And what’s with those guys? Aren’t all the people in your squad more like rcenaries? No wonder it’s hard to even call you a maid. That’s right, that’s why you shouldn’t be wearing headbands. I’m sure you’ll even poke your head with it.”

“Bitch……! “

Too many words. Momo, whose self had not only been made fun of, but also her friends and captain, couldn’t suppress her anger and tried to take matters into her own hands.

“So, you’ll use violence? Ohh, look at yourself. That’s why you’re disqualified as a maid.”

But Marina continued to provoke Momo, who couldn’t talk back.

――That’s when an unexpected person ca.

“Ohh, what’s wrong Momo? You can go ahead and hit her.”

“C-Captain! ? “

El of the Ten Great. Right now, it was al ti for the newcors, so there shouldn’t be a captain in this place. However, El had appeared and the cafeteria beca noisy.

“W-Why is El-sama here……? “

“Ara, I’m here too, Marina. Place your hands behind your back.”

“Es-sama! ? “

The little sister Es also appeared. Marina’s face paled. The reason she froze was because her captain was there. In other words, their misdeeds so far had been known to their captains.

“Co one, hit her. Until you’re done.”

“Here you go, Momo-san. Do as you like.”

El and Es said such a thing with a smile.

Momo then turned towards Marina. Marina’s eyes were moistened and she was trembling. It was an expression of despair. Well, that’s a given. Her elite road on which she walked turned into hell in just a mont.

“……Sorry. I can’t.”

Momo lowered her head after so contemplation. She felt she too was at fault since she couldn’t procure any evidence. And, she did not train in order to hit an opponent who was crying and offering no resistance.

“Is that so? Clench your teeth.”

El said while floating a gentle smile.

Imdiately after―― A tightly clenched fist assaulted Momo.

“Gguee! Agh! Buh! “

A relentless liver blow. Then, as her posture crumbled, an elbow right to the face. And after she fell to her knees, a kick to the solar plexus.

Everyone present thought “That’s too much”, but nobody uttered a word.

The 180-cm tall woman was one-sidedly beaten by a 16 years-old girl who wasn’t even 160-cm in height. All the newcors trembled seeing the figure of the captain of the fighting corps, the『El Squad』.

“The worst thing you can do is go after soone without any proof. Properly rember it.”

“Y……Yes……Captain……”

While bleeding from the nose in a crouching position, Momo answered.

“Next ti, make sure you have enough evidence before going after soone. Then, you can go wild without problems.”

“……Yes……”

El told her subordinates “Take her to her room”, and silently watched Momo being carried away.

“…………”

Es watched her sister’s schooling with warm eyes.

It looked like so long ago. These two sisters had fallen into slavery after being frad for a cri they didn’t commit―― but now, only a few people knew this fact.

Right now, they spend their days as the happiest. However, the pain of those false accusations would probably never disappear from these two sister’s minds. Therefore, their aversion to doubting people couldn’t be wiped away.

However, looking at it from the other side, this was engraved into their bodies and they understood the asures to take. Both Es and El knew that “Innocent and guilty without evidence” were pretty much the sa.

That’s why they both stuck to ‘evidence’ more than anyone else. At the very least, in the places where their eyes reached, in this house where their beloved master lived, false accusations must never be forgiven. This was sothing they kept in their minds every day. So, their subordinates should have grown following those ideals.

“Well now, Marina.”

“……Hiiii.”

Still, there were exceptions.

Like purposely erasing evidence after doing sothing they shouldn’t.

Es took out Momo’s headband, which was of course proof of Marina’s misdeeds, and looked straight at her while spinning it on her finger.

Heaven’s net has large shes, but nothing escapes, as the proverb says. As their na of the Sun and Moon of Firstest, their judgent was strict.

“It’s re-education ti. But don’t worry, I’m not as strict as my sister, El.”

So she said, with a warm smile. Marina felt an imasurable dread, cold sweat dripping down her spine.

……After that. A few days later, a Marina that looked like a completely different person, returned. It beca a topic among the maids about what kind of education soone would receive to suddenly change to an almost completely different person, and it beca a rumor among them that the younger sister might be way scarier than the elder sister.

＜ Yve ＞

Among the all-purpose maid corps, there was a maid nicknad the “White Demon”, and was rumored to be the “most dangerous among the Ten Great”.

She was one of the ten people directly under Yukari, a girl nad Yve.

Always silent, always expressionless, almost as if she was a doll. Coupled with that otherworldly beauty of hers, so called her the “Assassin puppet doll”.

Yes, she was a top-notch assassin, a proud mber of the all-purpose maid corps.

If the 『El Squad』 could make a crying child shut, the 『Yve Squad』 would physically shut it ‘down’.

That would an…… without sound, without anyone noticing, in just an instant. No traces nor corpses would ever be found.

And as such, the Yve Squad was given a stare a bit different than the El Squad. And their captain was the White Demon herself.

If one would ask the maids who the strongest among the maids was, with the exception of chief maid Yukari, nine out of ten would answer―― “That would be Yve-sama”.

She was that frightening.

This ti, the story will focus on her.

——

Demon child―― That was my nickna.

I had no friends. Not even acquaintances. I only ever spoke to mommy and daddy.

I was always locked up at ho. This way is better, that’s what mommy and daddy always said.

Still, I could hear the voices from the outside. Voices calling out to . Yells. “CO OUT, YOU DEMON CHILD”―― they said.

A certain night. Mommy and daddy invited to go outside. It was the first ti, so I was confused. But they were always smiling, so, I was a bit glad and followed them.

I was then placed inside a wagon while all the villagers yelled abusive words.

The two of them didn’t co with . They just received sothing from a fat man. At that mont, they had a smile I had never seen before.

And so, the carriage left. But the abuse didn’t stop. And now mommy and daddy were also on their side. Ahh, I see. I noticed it. I was sold off.

Was I betrayed? That’s probably right. Was I sad? I think I was.

But. At the ti, I didn’t understand it well enough.

I just found out later.

I’m different from others. My skin is white. So is my hair. And my eyes are red. It seems I was too scary. Almost like a demon.

I just found out later.

Both mommy and daddy kept at a distance. They never spoke to more than necessary, and when they did it was like a chanical voice, awkward… weird… But they were the only ones who talked to , so I thought it was normal. How weird.

I just found out later.

I beca 17 this year. The sa age as Master. Apparently, this is when my life properly began.

——

“１． Preliminary investigation. ２． Speed. ３． Corpse disposal. The results of the assassination are determined by these three steps.”

Hi, Yve here. Today is Yukari-sama’s assassination lecture, this is my 19th lecture. Obviously, out of 19 lectures, full marks. Looks like this ti it’ll be a review lesson since there are many first-ti participants. I have bad eyesight, so I sit in the front row.

The attendees were the Ten Great, all the other girls from my team, and a few other girls I haven’t seen before. Everyone listened very attentively.

“Investigation is a ga of perseverance. Blend into the air, never stand out, collect information about the target without letting people rember your face. I may be unsuitable for this. I’m a dark elf, so I naturally stand out.”

Yeah, I’m not suited for it either. After all, I’m pure white.

“The speed in assassination, you acquire it with technique and experience. Kill decisively, not making a sound, without the target being able to speak. For it, you can use skills such as Assassination and Thread Manipulation. The point is to not get too worked up. Like cutting in half an onion, or crushing a garlic with the side of a kitchen knife. Do it as if you were doing sothing you normally do.”

I wonder if Yukari-sama is hungry……?

“For the corpse disposal, it should ideally be done with a group. Several people working together, be it burying it, chopping it to pieces, or cremating it. You need to make a plan and stick to it. And be sure to leave the premises without being noticed by anyone. I will not allow you to cause trouble for Master. If you don’t need to dispose of the body, try to leave the spot as soon as possible.”

Oh, hearing the basics after all this ti. Yup, indeed, the most important thing is――

“These three points are the basics of assassination, but the most important thing is the preliminary investigation. Target selection, behavioral patterns, intrusion routes, escape routes, people coming in and out, dead tis, hours of little guarding, effective assassination thods, and corpse disposal ways. Everything depends on the investigation.”

Yup, preliminary investigation. I can’t do that, I’m ashad to always have to depend on the others for this. And because the proper assassination work hasn’t started yet, I’m not doing anything at present. Maybe this is the reason why I feel out of place?

“……We’re all aware that currently there are suspicious movents in the Capital, right? From now on, we will need to focus more on research and information gathering. That’s why you have to learn about investigative work.”

See? I’m being left out more and more.

Yukari-sama then said “Aside from Yve, the other Ten are dismissed. Yve, you stay a bit more”, and then, she gathered the remaining maids and began to teach them how to train for preliminary investigation. Ahh, I’m the only one left out again.

“You have it hard, Yve. Because I have no talent in assassination I have stay behind, but let’s do our best. Sorry, hahaha.”

El talked to the gloomy . I know she’s just joking. But I’m happy!

“Ah……yeah……uhmm……-o my best.”

“Huh? Sorry, what was that? I couldn’t hear you at all.”

“……do……-y best……”

“HEY! El-ane, don’t bully Yve! “

“What! ? I’m not bullying her! “

“Don’t give excuses! You were! “

…………Ahh, I’ve done it again……

I want to get along with everyone, but this always happens. All because I never had any conversation with people other than mommy and daddy until I was this age. This is troubling……

Because my voice is so quiet, people can’t hear even if I speak over and over, so they often mistake as being silent. It’s impossible to talk to others. I only have myself to talk with, and even when I tried laughing, they just get scared of my face. Haa……I’m just a shy, withdrawn, silent and expressionless White Demon puppet doll of assassination after all.

Even coming this far, is it still impossible for to make a friend? Or rather! Would it be impossible for to speak with my Master for my whole life! ? Ugh……

“Yve. Co this way.”

“……Ye, s.”

Coming back to my senses thanks to Yukari-sama’s voice, I answered while looking down, and followed her.

Our destination was the garden. Yukari-sama always teaches how to use 【Thread Manipulation】 in this place. And since I can’t go investigate, this can’t be helped.

“You don’t have to be so depressed. You are the second greatest user of Thread Manipulation that I’ve ever seen. Be more confident.”

“Y-Yes……”

Nicely done, ! I was praised by Yukari-sama. It’s good that I’ve been ssing around with all the threats that were sitting around in my cell since I was little.

Ahh, but there’s soone who’s better than …… I wonder if that’s Yukari-sama?

“You have a face like you care about the first place.”

“Ye……No.”

“The greatest one is Master. He hasn’t learned it yet, but I’m sure of it without even seeing it.”

Whoa, how can that be so? Yukari-sama sure is good at joking. But when she talks about Master, I feel a bit happy. A warm feeling that can reach out even to . I feel a laugh will escape!

“E he……hiyuhehehe……”

“…………Is this that boring? I see.”

E-Eh? That’s totally not the case! It was interesting.

“Be prepared for today’s training, Yve.”

“……Ehhh……! “
