Chapter 387 In the End, What the Heck is a Maid!? (2/2)

[If my eyes aren’t seeing things…… That person sitting in the corner with the “negative aura” while hugging her knees…… That’s “Ein-san”, right?]

[U- Unnn…… I also forgot about her. I’m reflecting.]

What I saw was Ein-san, looking like a bagworm with too many towels wrapped around her, hugging her knees as she faced the wall.

How should I say this…… There’s such a negative aura around Ein-san that it almost gave the illusion that the area around her was dimly lit…… W- What in the world is happening with her?

Looking at Ein-san who looked like a background character, far removed from her usual cool image, I walked up to her and called out.

[U- Ummm…… Ein-san? Are you alright? A- Are you not feeling well……]

[…… –ase…… —-at me…….]

[Eh?]

[…… Please don’t look at me…… Please don’t look at my wretched appearance, “this me who isn’t wearing my maid uniform”……]

[…………………]

That’s what you’re troubled about!? Eh? What? So, that’s what this is about? The reason why Ein-san was very reluctant to go in the bath with me…… was because she didn’t want to be seen without her maid uniform?

[E- Errr……]

[…… not a maid…… I’m not a maid…… I want to disappear…… so that no one can see me…… I want to disappear.]

A fragile, feminine voice. ……What a negative aura she has…… Eh? Is this what Ein-san looks like when she takes off her maid uniform? W- Well, I certainly haven’t seen her wear anything other than a maid uniform but……

Her heavy mood feels dreadful. I- I can’t stand this…… It seems like she doesn’t like others seeing her not in a maid uniform.

W- What should I do? To be honest, I regret calling out to her. W- Well, I can’t just ignore her now and go back though……

[……Ein-san, please listen to me.]

[……Kaito-sama?]

[Ein-san, you take pride in being a maid. You put in your heart and soul for this task…… Isn’t that right?]

[Yes…… Being a maid is the very value of my existence…… without it…… I will……]

[Is that the extent of your devotion as a maid, Ein-san?]

[……Eh?]

How should I say this…… As if I had been exposed to a strange atmosphere, I felt a strange heat in my tone as I continued to speak.

[Does wearing a maid uniform make you a maid? It doesn’t, right!? Ein-san’s passion as a maid isn’t so weak that it would disappear just because of a change in appearance! It’s never what you wear that determines whether you are a maid or not!　No matter how you dress, if you have the pride of a maid inside your heart…… Then, you’re a maid!]

[…………………]

To be honest, “I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore”! However, Ein-san looked like she was shocked by what I said. That’s enough! Let’s just keep the momentum going!

[Please stand up, Ein-san! If you’re not wearing a maid uniform, then all you have to do is bring out the maid within your heart!]

[Ahh…… Aahhh…… I- I am…… a maid!]

[Yes, you are! You believe you’re a maid, therefore you’re a maid! Don’t just give up on being a maid! Please believe in the maid within you!]

……Maid, maid, I’ve been saying it so much, I don’t even know what a maid is anymore.

While giving a consolation speech so pathetic that even I was confused by my own words, I still ended it with groove and vigor.

In the end, the towel that had been wrapped around her, making her look like a bagworm, was reduced to a single piece, and Ein-san returned to her usual stern expression.

[…….You have my gratitude, Kaito-sama. It seems like I forgot the most important thing. “It’s not because I’m a maid that I’m Ein, it’s because I’m Ein that there are maids”!]

[Eh? T- T- T- That’s right! It’s as you say!]

[In short, “I am the maid, and the maid is me”…… I’m sorry to have shown you my unsightly self. I’m alright now.]

[……I- Is that so……]

It seemed that Ein is now completely lively, and I am very happy for her as well.

But I just want to say one thing…… What the heck are those incomprehensible things that she was talking about!?

Dear Mom, Dad————– Two events occurred right after the mixed bathing started. Alice, who self-destructed yet again, and Ein-san, who fell to the dark side. Well, it really is a difficult road ahead of us. I’m worried about the future…… but before worrying about it, I just want to ask one thing—————– In the end, what the heck is a maid!?
