Chapter 1384 - The Decisive Battle Between Supreme and Phantom ②
“W- What!? The mysterious maid who appeared was the rumored rival of President Ein and the owner of the Phantom Maidric Aura…… the Phantom Maid!!!”
[And so, we are now going to have a match but…… Some may be wondering. What is her ability…… Therefore, as a demonstration…… Would you mind brewing us a cup of tea? With just that one act, for the maids present here, that would make everyone understand your abilities.]
[………………..]
At Ein-san’s words, Alice, or rather, the Phantom Maid moved without a word, and began to brew tea with familiar hands, and witnessing this, the venue was once again wrapped in astonishment.
“T- This is the God of Tea that President Ein showed us earlier…… As expected, she isn’t just an ordinary maid!!!”
Just as before, it seems like she has manifested the God of Tea that I can’t see.
Thereupon, Beatrice-san, who was on the stage, left, and Ein-san and the Phantom Maid faced each other in the center of the venue.
[……Now then, as for our match format, I have one suggestion. Do you remember when we had a Cooking Match back in the Six Kings Festival? At that time, a third-party interference made our match invalid but…… What do you think about having a Cooking Match as a redo of that time?]
[…………………….]
What Ein-san is talking about is the cooking match that she had with Alice when we stayed in the Central Tower before the Six Kings Festival. At that time, when Isis-san served me food, the two of them were hampered, and they buried the hatchet at that time. In a sense, it was a settlement in which Isis-san won.
The maid nodded silently at Ein-san’s proposal to redo that match.
[It’s decided then. Well then, let’s prepare the ingredients and cooking utensils…… The preparation time is “5 minutes”, which I think is enough time for us. How about it?]
[………………..]
[It doesn’t seem like you object. Let’s get ready then.]
The moment she said that, Ein-san and the Phantom Maid disappeared, and a few seconds later, they reappeared with a large amount of food and cooking utensils.
There are obviously freshly caught humongous fish, which they seem to have been procured in just a few seconds…… Those two can manipulate time, so me, who knew about their true identity, wasn’t particularly surprised.
[……W- What the heck was that!? In an instant…… How fast are they!?]
[That…… wasn’t just Super-speed, but Space-Time Magic…… It’s probably Time Manipulation. As expected of Ein-sama’s rival, that masked maid is also an extremely powerful person.]
Hearing Akane-san and Lilia-san’s words, I tilted my head. Leaving Akane-san aside, doesn’t Lilia-san know that that mysterious maid is actually Alice?
Ah, come to think of it, I tend to forget about it since I meet her often, but in the first place, Ein-san doesn’t really appear on the public stage, does she? Putting aside this Maid Olympia and Maid-related matters, even with Lilia-san’s social position, she doesn’t usually have the chance to talk to Ein-san, so she doesn’t know about it huh……
[All of those ingredients are top-notch, aren’t they?]
[Yes, and many of the ingredients are difficult to handle. Just by looking at that lineup, I can see how high their skills are.]
Frau-san and Luna-san are also looking at the venue, seemingly devoured by their excitement. No, well, I’m also looking forward to a match between Ein-san and Alice.
In fact, I would say that the two of them are almost evenly matched in terms of ability, and it’s hard to predict who will win.
Just as I was thinking that, Ein-san spoke again.
[Fuuu, my apologies. It seems like 5 minutes was too much. 1 minute was enough…… Well then, as for the match format, there’s no need to put too many conditions on the match. The winner is decided after the both of us make our best dish. However, if we make them too fast, the audience will feel left behind, so using Time Manipulation or excessive speed in cooking is forbidden…… What do you think of a 1-hour limit?]
[…………………..]
Certainly, looking at it from the audience’s side, it would just end up being completed already before we knew it. Phantom Maid nodded at Ein-san’s proposal without any complaints.
After nodding in satisfaction at her reaction, Ein-san declared in a loud voice.
[And one more thing! Let’s add “Kaito-sama” as the Special Judge to this match!!!]
Wait a minute there. What the heck are you suddenly talking about!? Special Judge? In this situation? In front of all these audiences?
No, no, I want to refuse her with all my might…… but it would be difficult to escape from this situation when she declared that in front of this number of people, and the reason I refused to be a Special Judge in the first place, that I wanted to concentrate on cheering for Luna-san, is no longer available in this situation.
[……Kaito-san, would you like to have some stomach medicine?]
[……I don’t know if it will work, but I’ll have some.]
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [It’s a precious Kaito’s stomach ache scene.]
