Maid Chapter 089

I can’t just keep taking a break since it’s lunch, so I revived. I ressurected just for the food.

However, although I revived, I unconsciously chopped a tremendous amount of cabbage. I was thinking of putting it in soup, but would I be forced to make today’s lunch okonomiyaki? What to do?

Ah, no, wait. Though I got various spices and seasonings when I came to this world, I still can’t make the sauce.

Huh, then what now? I’ve done a lot of research, but I still can’t recreate that.

Therefore, eating okonomiyaki without the sauce is just penance and to consume this large amount of shredded cabbage, I won’t need flour.

Erm…ahh, this is bad, I’m going crazy! Damn, why is my brain tofu! I should have enough training to make it firm tofu! At least it should be as hard as freeze-dried tofu!

…since there’s no helping it, let’s just pickle this cabbage… Then keep it with shredded kep and seasonings…

 

It’s a little late, but after lunch, I had to make equipment again.

As expected, it’d take a long time to make the armor, especially Toriumi’s armor.

That’s why they used excavated items instead of handmade items.

Even so, adjusting it seemed difficult and just thinking about the metal processing involved was a mystery to me.

Seems like they have knowledge of quenching and annealing, basically anything related to metal processing, but since I don’t know metallurgy, I can only tell them to do their best.

They’re talking about oxide film and painting now. Yeah, I don’t understand it at all!

Those with no production skills went out to collect various things. Well, that’s right. It’s natural if you want to make something out of metal, you’ll need metal, and also a lot of other things I’m not sure of.

I can’t laugh at the fact that most of the poisonous materials went to the President! Looks like President is making something, a mysterious and disturbing thing…

 

The cloth products aren’t particularly related to anyone’s skills, so there’s no need to divide each part. Except for the materials, I usually complete them by myself, so it’s all handmade by me.

If I embroider it, I don’t have to think about it, so it’s easy. I’m really glad that the skill can do it automatically. Being the Head Maid isn’t bad either. Even if the correction is 0. Yup.

 

If I just move the needle earnestly, even if I have to sometimes stop to put in threads and check the equipment from time to time, time will pass in a very short time.

Unlike metal, the good thing about cloth products was that I can make things right away. Thanks to the skill, it’ll be completed at a tremendous speed.

So the last thing I made was the new clothes for the maid dolls.

Right now, they’re wearing a sky-blue apron dress that’s about to be ruined.

 

Even though my defense power is paper and I have no attack power, even probably dying with just one attack, why did I dare to call myself the [Demon King] and take the brunt? Well, why did everyone agree to it?

The presence of the maid dolls greatly accounted for that.

I can now move the maid dolls like my limbs.

And no matter how far away they are, even on different floors, I can [Share] with them and above all, equip them.

Also, they have [Magic Invalid] from the [Great Black Snake Scale].

Because it’s invalid, magic doesn’t work at all.

Even if the maid dolls aren’t as physically durable as I am.

 

In that case, I can do something like this.

Arrange the maid dolls all around me (I need to keep my eyes closed since I’m overloaded with information and my head’s about to burst, so I still need practice) and I’d have perfect vision 360 degrees around me.

And I myself will take a leisurely position (pretending to be) away from the enemy.

While they’re out and actually fighting, I just have to avoid the magical and physical attacks flying toward me. Just avoid earnestly.

Of course, there’d be some large-scale magic. But that wouldn’t work. If I and the maid dolls have [Magic Invalid], then we wouldn’t be affected by any magic.

If a physical attack is about to come, it should be avoided when I can, or immediately [Transfer] when I can’t.

…in other words, when I’m declaring war, it’ll truly be a war and that means I’m only in charge of running away.

Or rather, it’s likely that won’t happen.

Because of everyone’s fighting power, you know? They do have a high combat power, right? Won’t they just go and engage with the 8 people in front? Maybe they wouldn’t have the time to attack the weird one behind them, like me.

Therefore, I think it’ll actually become something like me avoiding stray bullets.

 

In the first place, the [Demon King] must not be defeated. It’s also not good if I got hurt.

To play the perfect [Demon King], there’s no need to engage in the war. I mean, I can’t engage. It also means that I, who had no choice but to run away, was the right person among the nine.

And I have the ability to do that…maybe, maybe. I can, right? It should be…yeah, I can. I can do it! I can escape! I can evade! I can play it to perfection! I think!

And so, the maid dolls entered here.

…so, I’d be troubled if the maid dolls, who can serve as a camera, a recovery role, and special effects engineers, would break, so they had to be strengthened. Yeah.

 

Specifically, if I dye their dress with the [Great Black Snake Scale], they’ll get [Magic Invalid] and [Defense Increase (Large)], so that’s good. After that, put on a pannier made for [Flying] by dyeing it with sky blue lily, and then make an apron and head equipment embroidered with threads dyed with dyes that strengthen their petite magic, and that’d be the end.

The difficulty with this equipment was that I can’t control the MP consumption. Unexpectedly, my own MP increased with the equipment and the maid dolls themselves use mint extract, so there’s no problem at all.

…so all I have to do is make a lot of them.

However, the number. The number is. The numbers are a threat, to the point of violence.

…currently, the number of maid dolls has increased to 50. There are 50 of them. 50 bodies.

That’s enough to make a shield when lined up in front of you, those 50 bodies.

So the work of sewing 50 miniature maid clothes is…yeah, the maid dolls can also make their own equipment. Seems like they have the spirit of rank, so it’s easy since they helped me a lot, but I’m the one who has to sew and embroider it. I gave up and became a sewing machine. Gagagagagagaga.

 

While doing so, I managed to get all the equipment in place. No, my shoulders are still there. Needlework is fun, but I can’t feel my shoulders.

Currently, Sakura and Minamo, who happily changed into the black apron dress, are jumping up and down on my shoulders. Ah, of course, they’re massaging my shoulders. Thank you. Yup.

 

“Maito-san, try equipping this for a moment.”

And in that state, seems like my prototype armor has been made.

“I’m confident in my work. Maybe you can equip this.”

Katori handed me a glossy black armor that was white on the inside. It went from the neck to the shoulders, then curved to cover my chest, and there are also parts that protect my arms and parts that went straight down from the belt.

…it obviously increased, but it’s not that heavy.

“I’m worried about the durability since it’s light, but I think it’s probably okay.”

“Scales and…bones?”

“Yup. Bones. From the fire dragon. The rest is the scales of the Great Black Snake. I got a new skill called [Material Processing] so I tried it, but what do you think? Can you move with that on?”

When I equipped it, it strangely conformed to my body. It’s heavy but I won’t wear it and run, so it’s fine. If I just moved to evade, it won’t get in the way at all. I don’t use weapons anyway, so I won’t move my arms, so there’s no problem.

“Yeah, it’s fine. It doesn’t seem to hinder me from escaping.”

“Ahh, I’m glad. Also, I have the headgear, this one.”

This is a standard maid’s headgear made with thin metal and white. …when it’s made of metal, it doesn’t look maid-like at all..but something else.

“A crown, huh.”

“Yup…the maid’s standard headgear, if made out of metal, will look like this…”

…yeah, somehow, I can keep my Head Maid identity with this, so I obediently lowered my head.

“So, how about the weight?”

“It’s alright if it’s this much.”

No matter how much metal there was, it was thin, so like this…the structure is rather delicate.

So it’s okay.

“I see. Yeah. Then, I’ll base Maito-san’s armor with this and the rest is my part…ah, that’s right.”

“Yes?”

“Right, Tokoyo, can I borrow it?”

Incidentally, Tokoyo was tired so she rested on my apron pocket, but still stuck her head out.

“Hmm, that’s fine, but what for?”

“Uuhh, man’s romance.”

…

Ah, yeah. I don’t think it’s unreasonable, so it’s fine.

“Yeah, uhh, is that fine? Do you want 7 more?”

“Yeah, just one is fine. I just want Maito-san’s contact network in case of an emergency evacuation.”

…huh, you’re, making, equipment…right? What emergency evacuation…uhhm…

When I looked out the window, I saw something, but I decided to unsee it. I didn’t see anything. I didn’t see any Mob*le Su*t…

 

Dinner was brown stew. After that, we continued making equipment.

I spent most of my time making equipment except for eating and sleeping, but are the others okay?

Seems like they’re currently making equipment to hide their faces. I think each one has their own style so it’s interesting.

For the time being, I laughed a lot at President’s plague mask. It looks so good that it’s suspicious, I mean…the best.

In the end, he changed it because it wasn’t practical. How unfortunate.

 

Then, around the time the month would soon change, everyone’s equipment was finally completed.

“Let’s all line up!”

In high spirits, we all lined up side by side in a circle, and it looked more terrifying than I expected.

 

As expected, the first place is Toriumi. The full plate body armor was dyed jet black, giving it a feeling of weight and oppression, and the large halberd in his hand was too terrifying. That jet-black weapon with red stones like blood looked like it could kill people with a single stroke.

Or rather, it has the style of killing hundreds of people, not just a few.

 

The runner-up is President. He looked dangerous. He wore a black robe, not a lab coat, and a gas mask on his head. …I see, that’s practical. Like I’m going to fight this way, so this is practical for me type of thing!

By the way, of course, I made the black coat, not a white coat!

It looked flat but it was unexpectedly durable and a large amount of chemical test tubes and flasks could be stored inside…

 

Kadomi finally has a full-faced helmet. Well, if he wants to hide his face, it’s safer to do this.

And as expected, the armor is pitch black. The crimson cloak looks good. It indescribably gave me the feeling of wanting to be dyed with blood.

Along with that, the sword was also matched with Toriumi since the blade was black and a red stone was on the handle.

If he calls himself a dark knight, I’d be convinced.

 

Kariya is no longer a priest.

He wore armor that looked like metal only in a few areas, and below that is a jet-black and crimson robe. On his head was a cylindrical full-face helmet. To be honest, I’m scared.

And he’s holding a jet-black mace. Seems like this mace was [Bestowed] with Suzumoto’s [Calmness] and Toriumi’s [Art of Conversation].

[Even if I have a communication disorder, this is my MAX skill! Doyaaa…], that kind of thing.

What is that, I want it too.

 

The most interesting is Hariu. Because he’s a ninja. A ninja.

A ninja costume with armor covering some parts. Of course, I also sewed that ninja costume.

Because Hariu is also the type who wants to store a lot of hidden equipment, I was careful about the storage space.

However, it’s suspicious. It’d be very suspicious if such a thing was running.

But, Hariu wouldn’t run around in this operation. He’d still be the usual covert assassin. …I somehow feel sorry for him.

 

Hagasaki-kun didn’t change much. He just put on a headgear, and he’s still using the silver and light blue cane. …apparently, trying to use the cane with a red stone wouldn’t work. Well, I don’t really understand how magic works.

Still, the mask was carefully made by Katori as expected.

…it’s that. You can become a vampire by wearing this and dripping blood on it. Somehow, I wonder if Hagasaki-kun quit being a human altogether.

…yeah, the mask is eccentric enough. Yup.

 

Suzumoto is wearing the usual flashy kimono without any armor, but his mask was a fox. He looked very suspicious.

That fox face mask is a fantasy item that has a uselessly advanced technology making it not shift even when moving and wouldn’t narrow one’s field of view.

Seeing the phoenix on a black background, that fox face mask, and that sword, he’d definitely be known to have a middle school disease. When I thought that he’d do something like a [Ku…calm down, my right arm…!] skit, my abdominal muscles will break.

 

And then… you’re not the Demon King’s army anymore, but another army! That’s what Katori is all about.

A humanoid manned mobile weapon rose from the ground. It has a matching black and red color.

Seems like a laser will come out at any moment. As long as it moved and stood up, that’d be the climax.

The enemy army will surely be stunned. Once it moves, they’d surely scream [This guy…can move!] or something like that.

Ahh…I can only say Amen.

By the way, I couldn’t understand how it was made.

He seemed to have used various different world skills and magic. This production skill is no longer at this world’s level!

 

And we decided on declaring war tomorrow evening. As expected, it’s like that.

The Demon King appearing with the rising sun is a bit too out of character. Only the allies of justice can appear with the morning sun.

Now then, it’s time to go to bed. …what about becoming a morning-type Demon King? No, that’s no good, it’s a performance after all.
