I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1053 - Near Miss ③

As she walked towards her business partner, Akane called out to her guard/assistant, Frau, who was walking next to her.

[……I’ve been wondering about this for a while…… but there are too many maids in this world that have high fighting skills, don’t you think? No, I’m not really generalizing all the maids or anything like that, but I just had this impression that there are a lot of maids that are stronger than knights.]

[Haahhh…… Chairman, what are you talking about now?]

[R- Right. Why the heck am I saying things like this? I guess it’s just that the ones I’ve seen happen to be like that, and it’s not like they’re usually-]

[Maids being stronger than knights is “the most obvious thing in the world”. Well, it would be a different story if it’s a Knight Commander or a Captain, but there’s no way a top-notch maid would fall behind an average knight.]

[Eeeehhhhh, t- that’s what you meant!?]

In response to Akane’s words, Frau sounded rather astounded, as if she was speaking something that’s supposed to be common sense. However, the average combat power of maids in this world being higher than that of knights was indeed a fact, so in a sense, that really was a common knowledge in this world.

Even though that fact was hard to accept for the otherworlder Akane……

[Listen here, Chairman. What is essential for a top-notch maid is a devoted heart, outstanding skills…… and “overwhelming fighting power”. Maids who fall behind knights in that aspect are still second-rate or third-rate. In fact, it’s because I’m much stronger than most knights that I’m working as Chairman’s assistant and guard.]

[No, no, why is fighting power necessary!? Where the heck in a maid’s job are they supposed to utilize their fighting skills!?]

[If one were to lack in any of those three aspects, they will never be able to win at the Maid Olympia.]

[……Hey, you’ve occasionally mentioned that event…… but it’s not just a figment of your imagination and was seriously a real event, right?]

After throwing a tsukkomi at Frau’s definition of top-notch maids, Akane asked her about the Maid Olympia.

The festival of maids held once every four years…… the Maid Olympia. If she were to be honest, Akane just dismisses Frau’s words when she talks about it, thinking “she’s saying strange stuff again”.

However, she believed she can’t be blamed for that. One normally wouldn’t believe that such a ridiculous convention actually exists…… but listening to Frau’s description of the maids today, she began to think that perhaps, such an event really does exist.

[Of course, it exists. I’ve participated in many iterations of the event…… Well, I’m still a novice as a maid, so I’ve never advanced beyond the third round.]

[Really? That’s a little surprising. You’re one of the most capable people I know, so I would have thought you’d be a champion.]

[I appreciate the high praise, but unfortunately, my Maid Power is just 47,000, and I’m not even close to being a Mid-level Maid.]

[……No, wait, what are you talking about? Maid Power?]

[Maid Power is the numerical value of a maid’s Maidric Aura, something which maid’s were clad in when they possess the three basics of being a maid, the heart, the technique, and the physique. Unless one doesn’t have a Maid Power greater than 30,000, they won’t be able to participate in the Maid Olympia. And those whose Maid Power exceeds 100,000 are called “Super Maids”, and other than the Ultimate Maid Ein-sama, there are only 4 Super Maids in the world. To begin with, there are different types of Maidric Auras……]

[……No, that’s enough, I don’t wanna listen to your blabber anymore. I feel like I’ll go crazy……]

Akane couldn’t help but hold her head in her hands when she heard Frau’s outrageous story. She was slightly taken aback by the unexpected passion for maids from her assistant, whom she had relied on for her excellence.

However, as the head of her own trading company, she had a lot of experience. Quickly deciding that she shouldn’t get too deep into that kind of topic, she stabilized her mind and went back to their earlier topic, maids needing to possess fighting power.

[……So, these Super Maids were also super in combat?]

[That’s right. The 3 Maids of Heart, Technique and Physique have almost equal combat power, but the final Super Maid, the Super Maid of Balance is outstanding in terms of combat power. Incidentally, she’s also the kind of maid I’ve always wanted to be.]

[Hmmm.]

[In the semifinals of a tournament a few years ago, there was a competition where they had to defeat a Leviathan that had gone berserk in the seas of the Demon Realm and make a dish out of it……]

[No, I won’t let that slide! That ain’t something maids should be doing…… W- Well, I guess it’s too late to say that now huh…… Can you continue?]

[Understood. The Super Maid of Balance defeated the Leviathan with a single swing of her fist from the shore. In the process, “she cleaved through the sea with that punch”.]

[……She’s a monster.]

The person known as the “Super Maid of Balance”…… was someone misunderstood by Ein as a maid, and because the said person was easily pressured, she was forced to participate in the Maid Olympia every time it occurred.

Incidentally, when she defeated that Leviathan, she muttered “I should have just used 5% instead of 10%” to herself……

[By the way, the Super Maid of Balance is the Grass Flower Princess Camellia-sama, one of the World King’s executives, the Seven Princesses.]

[Ahh…… Ahhh! I see, is that so, so that’s why!!! Being an executive of one of the Six Kings, she’s definitely able to do something like that. What, you really surprised me…… In other words, the other Super Maids are also subordinates of the Six Kings or perhaps, Knights from one of the countries, right? And since they also needed to fulfill roles other than being a maid, their fighting power would inevitably be high……]

[No, the other 3 maids don’t have any other work other than being a maid. On a related note, 2 of those 3 are Humans, while the other is a Demon.]

[Then, there definitely is something wrong with the maids in this world…… How scary.]

[If you want, would you like to come and watch the next tournament?]

[Absolutely not!!! I can only see a future where my mind will be contaminated for sure!!!]

If Kaito had been here, he and Akane would have hit it off very well. Mainly because they find that there’s something wrong with the maids in this world……
