And so, I went outside.
I’ve kind of armed myself, but even armed, I’m still a maid.
“Okay, I’ll be fighting barehanded, but you can use your kitchen knife or anything, use everything you have.”
Never mind not holding a weapon, Suzumoto isn’t even wearing his usual kinagashi.
Remember? That kinagashi is that thing that increased his attack power due to [Ronin] corrections. That’s why he changed. Apparently if he messes up, it feels like I will die before I could be healed.
I know that this is due to our difference in ability, but this much contempt is a little irritating.
….don’t hurt ypurself~
Yes, and so, hello. The chances of the first round of the gladiator tournament becoming a battle royale is high, so battle training based on that has begun.
My goal for now, is to get through this battle royale=first round.
……impossible! What do you guys want from a maid!
No, I certainly did knock out 3 men when escaping from where I was kidnapped, but that was thanks to Hanter and the battlefield was quite advantageous for me.
There were many blind spots and it was easy to make surprise attacks. With surprise attacks, I might be able to barely win.
Or rather, I won.
But the colosseum is a colosseum.
Since there are audience seats, of course the battle field is easily visible for the audience.
Meaning there are no blind spots.
With this, my survival is impossible.
……well, at worst, if I keep running away with [Teleport], just surviving……ah, no, wait, I’ll definitely run out of MP.
After all, [Teleport] has surprisingly bad mileage.
Which means……what do I do, seriously.
go in and teleport out of the colosseum?
“If you’re not going to come then I’m coming.”
Now then, Suzumoto’s punch is coming towards me.
For now, dodge this with [Teleport].
When I teleported behind him, even though he was in a pose to punch just now, he suddenly changed his posture to kick behind him!
“And you are out.”
And he stopped just before hitting me. Th, that was scary……
not oneshot at least
And so, round two.
This time, I’ll make the first move.
I pulled out the two kitchen knives from the slit in my skirt and ran towards Suzumoto.
As expected he closed the distance in an instant, so I threw one knife in that instant and [Teleport].
Go behind him and stab with the other with all my streng……yes, before that, Suzumoto disappeared.
And the kitchen knife I threw won’t stop.
And I ended up in the comedic situation of that knife continuing in a straight line and stabbing myself.
“Uwah, are you okay, Maito.”
“Are you okay? [Heal].”
Everyone got worried and healed me, but this doesn’t actually hurt that much.
Like, I have already experienced a lifetime’s worth of pain when I was eaten by the snake.
I got [Pain Resistance] from that, so just being stabbed by a kitchen knife isn’t much. I can do things from a comedy manga.
This seems to be something everyone else is endowed with as corrections.
That’s something Suzumoto mentioned before. That one where he can pretend nothing happened without forcing it even with his flank gouged out.
And I got that as a skill, I guess?
…works?
“Then since it seems you’ve recovered, let’s go again.”
Hm, that seemed like it was on the right track, I can probably land a hit if I add another move.
……hm, if it’s just simply increasing moves, I can do it.
with? puppets?
And so round three.
With the start signal, I [teleported] into the sky. Yes, I did what I said I would never do again. But this time I have plenty of MP and everyone is here so it’s fine.
The instant Suzumoto lost sight of me, deploy 20 maid-san puppets at once with [Puppet Manipulation]!
The maid-san puppets are moving independently. And I’ve given them this order.
“Stick to Suzumoto! As cutely as possible!”
As ordered, the fluffy maid-san puppets stuck to Suzumoto and hindered his movement.
And Suzumoto mercilessly shook them off.
But I have the violence of numbers on my side! [Teleport] to the ground the instant Suzumoto’s gaze is diverted, and stab Suzumoto!
But, just before the tip of the blade hit, the counter roundhouse kick, without stopping just before, landed a clean hit on me, feeling my ribs crack, I went down.
……this is impossible.

rip Maito

“Oi, are you okay!?”
When I woke up, I was surrounded.
Is this already the standard custom?
“Sorry, I intended to stop just before, but I reflexively.”
“No, it’s not your fault. The opponent won’t stop in a real battle.”
But somehow, my ribs giving out just from a roundhouse kick, aren’t I weak? In this case, Suzumoto is the strange one right?
both are strange
“Somehow, I don’t feel like I can fight anymore.”
I had my ribs healed, but my willpower hasn’t.
In the first place, fighting is not a maid’s job. Asking me to fight is a mistake in the first place.
“Mhm~, seeing that just now, it was on the right track, it’s a shame how it was so close but……”
“Isn’t the plan misdirected in the first place, Maito-san? Maito-san’s strength is having a lot of strange skills, you have to try making more use of those.”
Certainly, I had used a kitchen knife as my means of attack this time, but a kitchen knife’s reach is short and is not a weapon that really fits me.
then what?
……or rather, in the first place, the premise of fighting is wrong.
Mhm. I am a maid. Weak.
I am a maid boasting such weakness that if I fought a combat profession straight up, I will lose 100% of the time.
Then as expected, I think a maid should fight on a maid’s battlefield.
Okay, then, let’s reconfirm the victory conditions.
loopholes?
I don’t know the details of the rules, but a battle royale format would mean a large number of people fighting and the one that survives to the end wins.
Basically, I just need to run around and stay until the end like I thought at first.
But I cannot win just by running around.
Basically, even if I use the strategy of letting others fight and take out each other, I will have to fight one on one with the final person.
Then, what to do.
A method a maid can use, a method to win without fighting.
Hm.
……mhm, since I have the chance, let’s test out a new skill, or rather, technique a little.
Basically, that. If I can make the opponent unable to fight, it doesn’t matter if it’s not by injury or death.

that escalated quickly. why death

“Are you really okay? I don’t want to become a murderer yet though.”
“Yes! Come, let’s do it!”
Any further combat against Suzumoto is dangerous, so I will be fighting against Hagasaki-kun who has comparatively less physical attack strength.
……mhm. Even though he is a magician. He still has enough physical attack strength to kill me. That’s strange.
….rip
And so, Hagasaki dashed at me wordlessly right after the start signal, I dodged with [Teleport] and moved far away.
And before Hagasaki-kun can move, with all my heart……sing!
I sang a classic, a good, old number.
People call this, a lullaby.
……see, I have [Ballad] and [Babysitting]. Then I thought this might work~, and it did.
Buwah, a light purple wave spread and Hagasaki-kun suddenly……not just him, everyone slept.
……hm. Won’t this work?

….yes…?

It would delay various things if left sleeping, so I woke them up.
Seems like everyone didn’t even notice they were falling asleep.
“That thing, how is the MP efficiency?”
“Relatively good.”
At the very least, putting 8 people to sleep seems to cost as much MP as letting 5 puppets move independently for about 10 minutes.
Well, basically, this is much more economical than [Teleport].
“Then, Maito, somehow win the first round with this. We will wear ear plugs, so even if we are in the same group in the first round, just fight how you can at that point and just lose.”
“If I’m not with anyone in the first round?”
“Then you’ll meet one of us in the second round anyway. We are not weak either. We’ll get through the first round. You can just retire then.”
Hou hou, I see.
“Then……what are you going to do about the time delay until you can use that?”
Mhm. That. About that though.
“I was thinking of [teleporting] into the sky to buy time.”
The instant I say that, they all simultaneously started mentally doing physics calculations.
“Maito-san, even if you teleport 300m into the air, you will have less than 10 seconds til you land……are you okay?”
Kariya was the fastest in calculating.
“Ooops.”
But 10 seconds huh. With that, it’s impossible to finish singing.
Mhm~, then, I need to reduce the fall speed, I need to see if I can do that with [Embroidery] or [Dyeing].
If I can draw out the most of the sky-blue lily’s [Flight] effect, then I might be able to somehow reduce my fall speed and it might be able to work out.

……not fly, but just fall slower…..realistic?

It’s about time for dinner, so I will be making preparations for dinner.
When I said that to them, they all went to hunt some huge speckled birds that were flying nearby.
No, when I said I’m making deep-fried food for today’s dinner, go hunt some birds to eat, they all went to hunt.
How could this be. I didn’t think all of them would go.
Can’t be helped, I’ll grind ginger and garlic to prepare the seasoning for the meat, make the vegetable soup, and such preparations while waiting for everyone to come back.
kfc!
While waiting, I started on the experiment for [Something to increase flight duration].
The sky-blue lily is a plant that grows on 1F, so there’s none here, but I have some stocked up, so I’ll be trying things out with those.
only dyeing and embroidery right?
First, I will try cloth dyed with that sky-blue lily and embroidery with thread dyed with the same lily.
When I tried that, the skill [Hover] was attached.
……is this a bingo already?
When I tried using it immediately, somehow, when I try to float, I do float in the air. But, 1cm off the ground.
Sad.
But with this, won’t it work if I increase the surface area of the cloth. Or if I become lighter?
……ah, wait a moment. Wait a moment. This……I thought of a wonderful way to use this.
If I use this on something light, won’t it work quite well?
like maid
And so I tried making it, puppet-size apron dresses.
A light apron dress made with plenty of sky-blue cloth embroidered with sky-blue thread, I immediately tried dressing a maid-san puppet in that. And it floated.
It floated. It actually floated.
“Try opening the door.”
I let it move independently and ordered it, it lightly flew over, opened the door and came back.
Mhm. This extends the possibilities of [Puppet Manipulation].
Just that, the other maid-san puppets would be jealous of this, so I’ll end up having to make enough for all of them……mhm. It’s fine, let’s go to 1F again tomorrow and gather sky-blue lilies.

fluing maids~

And everyone came back.
“We’re back.”
“Welcome back, masters.”
“Like I said, stop, it’s disgusting.”
It’s also been a while since we’ve had this exchange.
“We got birds. Here.”
Saying that, they stacked birds on the desk in the lab, 16 of them.
……you guys, how much do you intend to eat.
