＜ L and S.


　The ten maids of the all-around maid squad, "Jiketsu" - the ten maids under head maid Yukari are called that with awe and respect.

　Each of the ten maids is now a respectable "demon captain" with more than ten subordinate maids, but they too were originally "newbies" with Yukari as their captain.

　If you said that to ...... and any of the current rookie maids, they would surely reply, "I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm sure the maid would have replied, "Don't say the impossible, just do your job.

　There are two red-haired sisters, Elle and Es. Elle is the 16-year-old sister and Es is the 15-year-old sister. Elle has a slightly quirky, semi-long hair, and a harsh, manly personality. S is a side pony and a soft, girlish girl. Their names and looks are very similar, but their personalities are the complete opposite.

　There isn't a maid in the Furstest family who doesn't know these two people, because they are really easy to remember. Because they were really easy to remember. The sun and the moon, the flame and the running water, the convex and the concave ...... have been called many things, but they are, at any rate, sisters with strong characters.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. They are all highly skilled fighters from the start, and they are trained to fight to the bitter end. Therefore, they were feared by the new maids. "It's tough going in there," they said. On the contrary, the "spirited ones" volunteered to join the El Corps. Being an El Corps is proof that you are a fierce fighter. As a result, they are respected in various ways by the people around them.

　On the other hand, the "S Squad" led by her sister is said to be the most "orthodox" of the versatile maids. In this squad, the maids are constantly improving their skills until they are beyond the level of being called "versatile maids". Starting with serving, cleaning and laundry, of course, but also clothing, languages, self-defense, and even business administration. At first glance, it may seem broad and shallow, but it's not. Wide and deep, wide and deep. Maids who can't keep up with them are cut off early. In that sense, it's not an exaggeration to say that the ES Squad is a carefully selected "elite group".

　And in this way. Each squad has its own characteristics.

　However, it's not like they all start out with their own colors. As they spend a long time together, the personality and beliefs of the captain gradually influence them.
　The point is, whose back do they grow up on? The girls were like parents and children.




"Hey, you. You stole my catsuit, didn't you?

　One day. Momo", a maid belonging to Elle Squad, grabbed one of the maids in the cafeteria by the chest and said so. As you can see from her first persona and tone of voice, the maid was famous even among newcomers for being a hardcore roughneck; her six-foot-two stature was quite intimidating, even standing silently, and she stood out in both good and bad ways.

''Oh, what are you talking about? I have no idea at all.''

　In contrast, the maid is Marina, a member of the ES squad, who she says is an "elite". She was a bit of a proud maid.

"Don't lie to me!　You stole it!
Why do you think it was me?　I have no proof.
'Ha!　I'm watching you steal!
So, where's your proof?　How do you prove that?
Evidence with my own eyes: ......
I don't like the idea of unilaterally watching you steal without proof. Mr. S., you said repeatedly that securing the evidence is very important. Right?　Ladies and gentlemen,

　Marina questioned the people around her and asked them to agree. Since Marina was indeed right, the maids who were familiar with her nodded their heads without any doubt. For a change, Momo has turned into an atmosphere as if she were the bad guy.

'I saw it on ......, but I saw it,'
'Huh, how many times do I have to tell you to understand?　You're wasting your time. I will say this one last time. Could you not doubt me without proof?
"............ d*mn it.

　Momo looked frustrated and released his hand from Marina's grasp. Marina paid her chest a dirty look and then opened her mouth.

'How can you serve as a maid with such a low life?　Oh. Come to think of it, you're not even a maid in that un-maid-like place ...... I don't like it, the smell of sweat is going to transfer to me.

　Giggling and laughing like a fool. Momo didn't say anything back, she just clenched her fists. As if that made her feel better, Marina continues further.

'Good thing?　We are maids in the service of the great one who will eventually become the best in the world. We need to be maids that live up to the name of the proud House of Furst. What is that? Your troops, aren't they just mercenaries?　So you can't call it a maid. Yes, it's better without the catsuit. It would probably be easier to butt heads.

You ......!

　It was too much of a word. Momo couldn't hold back his anger as he was mocked, not only by himself, but by his friends and even the captain, and he couldn't help but try to put his hands on her.

'Are you going to be violent?　Go ahead and see what you do. That's what makes you an unfit maid.

　Marina continues to provoke Momo, making good on the fact that he can't hit her.


　--then an unexpected person comes along.

'Oh, what's up Momo. You can hit me now.

What's going on?

　It was Elle of the Ten Greatest. It was now mealtime for the newcomers, hence there was not supposed to be a captain class here. But Elle showed up. The cafeteria was in an uproar.

''Hey, why is Elle-sama here ......?''
'Oh, I'm here too, Marina. Here, let me hold your hands behind your back.
What, Master Es?

　Even her sister, Es, shows up. Marina's face turns pale. This is because she has been made unable to move by her own captain. That means that the captain sisters knew all of the misdeeds they had been doing.

"Hey, go ahead and hit me. Until it's over.
Go ahead, peach. As you wish.

　Elle and Es say that with a smile.

　Momo turned to Marina. Marina's eyes were watering and she was cringing and shaking. It was truly a look of despair. It would be the same. Because the elite road that they had been walking on until now had turned into a hell road in an instant.


"...... I'm sorry. I can't hit you.

　After a moment's hesitation, Momo bowed his head. It was no small fault of mine for not being able to prepare the evidence, I thought. Besides, I hadn't trained myself to be able to hit someone who was crying without resistance.

'I see. Clench your teeth.

　Elle said that with a gentle smile on her face.


　Immediately after - an iron fist attacked Momo.

''Ugh!　Aagh!　...

　A gutting lever blow. An elbow to the face as he lost his stance. As he fell to his knees with a crunch, his toes dug into his pigeon tail.

　Everyone thought it was too much, but not a single maid was there to stop it.

　A sixteen year old woman who is not even sixteen centimeters overruns a large woman who is six feet tall, one-sidedly. All of the newcomers shuddered, thinking that this was the captain of some martial arts group 'El Squad'.

It's not a good idea to doubt people without proof. Take heart.
"Ha ...... yes ...... captain ......

　Momo's nose is bleeding and he replies with a crouch.

The next time you're in the market, make sure you have all the evidence and hunt them down. Then you'll be able to hit him cleanly.
"...... yes ......

　Elle instructed the other men to take him to his room, and then watched Momo as he was carried off.

.............

　Es watched her sister's education with warm eyes.

　The not-so-distant past. The sisters who were falsely accused of crimes they didn't remember and fell into slavery after being cut off from the village - only a few people know that it was them.

　They are now living the happiest life in the world. But the pain of false accusations will probably never go away from the sisters. Hence, I can't shake my aversion to the idea of doubting people.

　But that, in turn, means that they understand the countermeasures in their own minds. Elle and S. knew very well that "evidence is equally necessary for both innocence and guilt".

　That is why the two men are more concerned about "evidence" than anyone else. They would never allow false accusations to go unpunished, at least not where they could see it, not in the house where their beloved master lived. They must have been aware of this fact on a daily basis. His subordinates must have grown up watching their backs.

Well, Marina.
...... Hee.

　But there are exceptions to this rule.

　It's outrageous to reverse the evidence and go up in smoke.

　I'm not going to be able to get the same thing done.

　Heaven's net is sparse and does not leak. In the name of the sun and moon of the Firth Test, these women will be judged strictly.

''It's a re-education. I'm not as strict as sister Elle, so you don't have to worry about me.''

　And then he chuckled. Marina felt an unfathomable fear and broke out in a blistering cold sweat.


　...... Then. A few days later, Marina returned to the field as if she were a different person. The maids suddenly became the topic of conversation among the maids, wondering what kind of education was required to change her personality to that extent, and it was rumored for a while that perhaps her sister was more frightening than her sister.





＜ ''Eve.''


　In the Universal Maid Squad, there is a maid called the "White Devil" who is rumored to be the most dangerous of the ten outstanding maids.

　One of the ten maids under Yukari is a girl named Eve.

　She was always silent and expressionless, just like a doll, at all times. Combined with her inhuman beauty, some call her the "manipulative assassin doll".

　That's right, she was the top-notch "assassin" of the All-Purpose Maid Squad.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.

　And that too ...... in a moment, without a sound, without anyone noticing. And no trace, no corpse, will be found forever.

　As such, the Eve Squadron was distinguished from the El Squadron in a different way. That captain was the White Devil Eve herself.

　If you ask any maid on the street who is the strongest among the maids, with the exception of the head maid Yukari, nine out of ten maids will reply - "That would be Eve-sama".

　That's how awe-inspiring she is.
　This time, I'm going to focus on her.




　Demon possession - that was my nickname.

　I don't have any friends. I don't know anyone. The only people I talk to are my mom and dad.
　I was always cooped up in the house. It was better, my mom and dad said.

　But I could still hear them outside. They were calling out to me. Screaming. "Get out, demon possession" - and...

　That night. Mom and Dad invited me to go outside. It was the first time I'd ever done that, and I was confused. But they were always smiling. I was a little happy and followed them.

　I was carried to the carriage while all the villagers were shouting abuse at us.
　They did not follow me. I was receiving something from the little fat man. It was a smile I'd never seen before.

　The carriage departs. The cursing doesn't stop. Mom and Dad are on the other side. Oh. I realize. I've been sold out.

　Betrayed?　Maybe so. Were you sad?　Maybe so.
　But. I didn't understand it at the time.


　Later, I found out.
　I'm not like other people. I have fair skin. My hair is white. My eyes are red. Apparently, that's a very scary thing. It's like a demon.

　Later, I learned that.
　My mom and dad kept their distance from me. They never talked more than they had to, always clerical and awkwardly affectionate. They were the only two people I talked to, so I took it for granted. It was weird.

　I found out later.
　I'm 17 this year. The same age as my master. My life, it seemed, was about to begin.



"1. pre-screening, 2. speed, and 3. body disposal. These three steps are what determine the success of an assassination.

　Hi, I'm Yves. Today's lecture on assassination by Yukari-sama, and this is the 19th time I've attended it. Of course, I got an award for perfect attendance. There are a lot of first time attendees this time, so it's like a refresher course. I can't see very well, so I'm sitting in the front row.

　The attendees are all ten outstanding, all the other kids in my squad, and a few kids whose faces I've never seen before. Everyone is listening very intently.

''Investigation is a game of patience. Blending into the air, never standing out, and never letting anyone remember your face, rooting out the information on your subject. This may not be suitable for you. I, for example, am a dark elf, so I am not suited for it.

　Yes, I'm not cut out for it either. It's all white.

"Assassination speed is about skill and experience. To kill without making a sound, without making a sound, in an instant, without fail. This can be done by using skills such as assassination and string manipulation. The point is not to be overwhelmed. It's like cutting an onion in half or crushing a garlic clove with the belly of a knife. Do what you should be able to do and do it naturally and unobtrusively.

　Dear Yukari, are you hungry ......?

"Ideally, body disposal should be done in an organized fashion. It takes several people working together to bury, chop, burn, etc. You have to plan it out and make sure it gets done. And be sure to do it off the property and without being detected by anyone. I will not allow you to do anything that would cause trouble for your master. And if it is not necessary to dispose of the body, be sure to leave the place as soon as possible.

　The basics I haven't heard in a while. Yeah, yeah, I guess the most important thing is--

These are the three fundamentals of assassination, but the most important thing is pre-screening. Target selection, behavioral patterns, entry and escape routes, comings and goings, how long it takes for a target to become unpopular, when they are unprotected, effective assassination methods, and body disposal methods. It all comes down to research.

　Yeah, pre-research. I can't do it, so I feel bad for always having to ask everyone else to do it for me. Besides, the assassination job hasn't started working yet, which means I'm the only one not working at the moment. Maybe this is the reason I'm floating around?

''We all know that there is some suspicious activity in the people of King's Landing at the moment ......, right?　We will need to focus more on research and gathering more information. To that end, I need you to learn about research.

　See - it's starting to look like we're going to be floating around more.

　Yukari-sama instructs, "The ten of us, except for Eve, are to disperse, and Eve is to stand by," and then she gathers the rest of the maids and begins to instruct them on how to train them about the preliminary investigation. Ah, I'm left alone again.

"It's not easy for Eve. I have no talent for assassination, so you have to work as hard as I do. I'm sorry, hahahahaha.

　I was in a daze when Elle spoke to me. I could tell he was joking. I'm glad!

Oh, ...... un... .........
'What?　What?　I can't hear a thing.
"...... ah ...... ah ......

Hey!　Sister Elle, I won't bully Miss Eve!
'Huh!　I'm not picking on you!
No excuses!　Let's go!


　............ Oh, I've done it again .......

　I want to get along with everyone, but it always comes down to this. Because until I was this age, I had never had a conversation with anyone other than my mom and dad. It's a problem. ......

　I'm not going to be able to get away with it, and I'm not going to be able to talk to you. Huh ...... I'm a shy, reclusive, silent, faceless white devil's puppet assassin anyway, yeah.

　Isn't it impossible to be a friend forever with this kind of thing?　And yikes!　It would take a lifetime to talk to your master!　Hi. .......


"Eve. Come here.
...... is...

　Yukari-sama's voice brought me back to my senses, and I responded with a downcast look and followed her.

　I'm headed to the garden. Yukari-sama is always here to teach me how to operate 【String Manipulation】. I'm the only one who can't go to investigate, it can't be helped.

''There's no need to be depressed. You're the second greatest thread manipulator I've ever seen. Have confidence in yourself.
'Yes, yes ......'

　Yay, yay, I got praised by Yukari-sama. It's a good thing I've been fiddling with string since I was a little kid in the jail.

　I'm sure there's someone out there who's better at it than I am.

You have a look on your face that says you're worried about the first one.
Yeah. ...... Yeah.
The most wonderful thing about him is his master. You don't remember him yet, but you don't need to see him to know.

　Wow, that sure could be it!　Yukari-sama has a great sense of humor. And when she talks about her master, she looks a little happy. I can't help but get a warm feeling when I talk to her. I can't help but laugh.

Eeh, hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe...

............ Was it that boring, I see.

　Oh, what?　I don't think so.　It was fun, right?

Be prepared to train today, Eve.
...... fue ......!
