Chapter 1383 - The Decisive Battle Between Supreme and Phantom ①
The match format between Ein-san and Beatrice-san. What Beatrice-san decided in the end is……
[……Tea Showdown please.]
“Whoa, Compet.i.tor Beatrice has chosen Tea Showdown. Did she think it was the most likely to get her closest to President Ein? In any case, following the finals, it was decided that we would have Tea Showdown as the match format!”
In a sense, you could say this was a safe choice. Beatrice-san broke out of her sh.e.l.l in the Tea Showdown in the finals, she had grown past being a Super Maid…… or so I heard from the Live Commentary, and perhaps, the best weapon she has for the time being is the tea she showed in that battle.
It’s just, as expected, challenging Ein-san about tea…… feels a bit reckless.
[……I see, tea, is it?]
[Yes, I grasped that feeling back in the finals. If it’s the me right now, even if I don’t use Maid Burst……]
“Whoa, this is!? Behind Compet.i.tor Beatrice who is brewing tea is the tea angel that we witness in the finals!”
Unnn, I still can’t see it…… Anyway, it seems that that tea angel appeared again. That should mean that the tea that allowed her to win over Alexandra-san in the finals is now completely within her grasp.
Seeing Beatrice-san in such a state, even though I’m looking at her from a distance, I could see the smile rising from her lips.
And when Beatrice-san finished brewing her tea, Ein-san started to move.
[……What wonderful growth. By the way, that G.o.d of Tea you saw…… is this one, right?]
[Wha!?]
“T- This is!? Appearing behind President Ein’s back is the divine G.o.d of Tea!? W- What a tremendous atmosphere she has……”
Apparently, in contrast to Beatrice-san who manifested a tea angel, Ein-san managed to manifest the G.o.d of Tea. No, I can’t see either of them…… and I wish they would with this puzzling battle.
[The ultimate gestures have a Vision befitting them. However, as for showing the G.o.d to others, it’s impossible unless you are in a state where you can say that you have mastered tea. But looking at it in another way, one can manifest the G.o.d of Tea even if one isn’t a maid. That is technique, belief, and proficiency…… In any case, you have not yet reached this stage…… You must continue to work hard.]
[Kuh……]
“Compet.i.tor Beatrice has fallen to her knees! Has the match been decided?”
[……It’s my loss.]
How should I say this…… Ein-san really feels quite superior. Also, nonchalantly talking about how anyone can manifest that G.o.d of Tea, I would like it if you would stop with all that Maid logic talks.
Well, even if other people can really manifest that, that’s just something only maids can see……
[T- That was an amazing battle. As expected of President Ein…… She’s overwhelming.]
[Yes, Beatrice-sama also showed skills worthy of being a Super Maid, but as expected, President Ein was still composed even battling someone such as her…… The summit is just too high.]
As usual, Frau-san and Luna-san were roused, talking about the earlier match with excitement.
As for the match, Beatrice-san herself admitted defeat and surrendered, so Ein-san won.
“The challenge to President Ein ends once again with an overwhelming victory for President Ein. Will we ever get the chance to witness her serious mode…… In any case, this ends the match, so next up would be the awards ceremony…… Oya?”
The words of the Live Commentary that was about to move to the awards ceremony stopped. The reason is simple, for before I knew it, a new presence had appeared at the venue……
A woman with long black hair wearing a maid outfit, her face can’t be seen because it’s hidden behind a mask…… Well, it’s definitely Alice. It seems like she changed her appearance for this.
[Who is that? That maid…… isn’t she strange? I can’t…… feel her Maidric Aura?]
[Y- Yes, I don’t feel it at all either. A Maid without a Maidric Aura…… Does such a person exist?]
Frau-san and Luna-san and talking with serious expressions on their faces but…… unnn, I mean, that woman isn’t a maid…… so it’s inevitable that she has no Maidric Aura.
In any case, the mysterious maid who suddenly appeared filled the venue with an air of bewilderment, but upon seeing her, a ferocious smile appeared in Ein-san’s smile.
[……You have kept me waiting for a long time. However, at last, I can finally fight against you on this stage!]
[………………….]
“T- This was!? President Ein’s Maidric Aura was tremendously increasing…… W- What…… powerful……”
I don’t really know what’s going on, but Ein-san’s Maidric Aura was apparently increasing, and seeing it, Frau-san and Luna-san…… along with other audience members looked pale.
And Frau-san and Luna-san, who seemed to be having a hard time over here, spoke with pained expressions on their faces.
[E- Even from this far away, I feel like my body is going to be crushed!? What a tremendous Maidric Aura……]
[Even Beatrice-sama is desperately enduring it with both hands on the ground. As expected, receiving such a Maidric Aura in a close vicinity———- No way!? T- That maid…… She’s calm while being exposed to that amount of Maidric Aura!?]
[T- That’s impossible! Despite being a maid, being exposed to the Supreme Maidric Aura and to still remain calm…… remain calm…… A- Ahhh, I see…… I don’t feel her Maidric Aura. No, we just couldn’t grasp her Maidric Aura! It’s like she’s a phantom……]
[A phantom…… C- Could it be——— The Phantom Maidric Aura!?]
Why did she remain unperturbed when exposed to that Supreme Maidric Aura? The answer is simple…… and I really wanna say it. Right now, my heart is really filled with the desire to scream…… “That’s because that woman is not a maid!!!”…… But as expected, there was no way I could just say that with the mood they have here, so I could only have an indescribable expression on her face.
【Supreme Maidric Aura】
Known as the Ultimate Maidric Aura, it can only be clad by those who have attained true heights as a maid. This Maidric Aura shuts down other Maidric Auras, making it impossible to use any maid technique, and also puts a lot of pressure on lower-ranked maids, so Ein usually suppresses this Maidric Aura to its limits.
【Phantom Maidric Aura】
A mysterious Maidric Aura that is said to be the only one that can compete with the Supreme Maidric Aura. This Maidric Aura can’t even be felt in the slightest, and it’s described as a phantom because it seemed as if it didn’t exist. It’s said to be unaffected by any other Maidric Aura, and even the Supreme Maidric Aura can’t shut down or overwhelm this Phantom Maidric Aura…… or so Ein described it, but Alice just looked genuinely displeased about it.
