I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)

Although I’m feeling left behind by the surrounding excitement, for the time being, the opening ceremony continues.

“Well then, before we begin, we would receive a few words from the President of the World Maid Federation and World Maid Association, Professor Emeritus of the Maid Research Association, Special Direction of the Maid Management Organization, and Head Jury for the Maid Olympia, Ein-sama.”

So many titles! World Maid Federation, World Maid Association, Maid Research Association, and Maid Management Organization…… Just with what had been mentioned, that’s already four organizations. In addition, she’s probably involved in the management of the Maid Olympia.

As I thought, the reason why the maids in this world are so strange is definitely Ein-san. No matter how you look at it, she’s leading the charge toward this situation…… My senses are really screaming at this one.

[Chairman, the person over there is the best maid in the world, Ein-san.]

[That’s Kuromu-sama’s maid, isn’t it? We haven’t talked much……]

[Yes, she has various titles, such as Maids of Maids, the Pinnacle of Maids, and so on. Her Maid Power is said to be 530,000.]

[That’s really impressive. The highest value among the Super Maids is 130,000, right? That’s 4 times as much.]

[Yes, moreover, it’s said that Ein-sama has never shown her full power in Maid Olympia, and it’s said that her true power is well over a million. It’s said that she won 10 consecutive victories at Maid Olympia with overwhelming strength, and because she had no opponents, she became the Judge of the Maid Olympia instead. However…… According to rumors, there has only been one person who could be considered as Ein-sama’s rival…… but all the details about them are unknown and shrouded in mystery.]

It’s no surprise that Ein-san is a very famous person in the Maid World. She is, after all, the pinnacle of the maids in the world and can be considered a kind of charismatic figure.

The enthusiasm of the audience was even greater than before, and even Frau-san was looking at Ein-san with admiration.

[……Seriously, I’d like it if they’d stop with that terrifying rumor……]

[Go tell that to Ein-san.]

[She won’t listen even if I told her that though.]

At that moment, I heard a voice whisper from behind that only I could hear, sounding as if she was really fed up with what was going on. Well, the rival that Ein-san is talking about is definitely Alice, so I can understand why Alice was astounded, and I genuinely sympathize with her on this matter.

“……I have no intention of telling all the determined maids who have gathered here about the basics of what maids are. Your presence at this event is proof that you must have devoted yourself to your daily training as a maid. Whether it’s technique, heart, or fighting power…… All of them are indispensable for first-class maids. Show off your skills as a maid today and compete with your rivals. However, let me just say this. Don’t settle for just winning. Even if you do win in this tournament, you’re still far from mastering what it takes to be a maid. The path of maids continues far ahead. At the same time, this also means you don’t have the time to wallow in defeat. All of you are explorers who continue to walk the endless path of a maid. With your gaze steadily looking forward, keep on walking…… I hope that this tournament will help you take one more step forward.]

Ein-san speaks with such enthusiasm…… but seriously, what is a maid? Such a question, which has been asked many times since I came to this world, came up once again. But unfortunately, it seems like I haven’t found the answer to that question this time either.

[……By the way, what kind of competition were they doing here?]

[The first competition is an orthodox one. Since there are many participants, the preliminary round will be held in a competition where a large number of people would be competing against each other.]

[……A large number of people competing against each other, this is supposed to be a maid competition, right?]

Hearing Frau-san’s explanation to the words Lilia-san murmured, Akane-san threw a tsukkomi. In the meantime, the opening ceremony ended and the competition was announced.

“Now then, for the qualifier competition…… would be about an essential for maids. It’s a competition of combat skills! Everyone will be divided into groups, and it will be a battle royale!”

[……Hey, Frau?]

[What is it?]

[Where’s the orthodox you were talking about?]

[This is the most standard of the standard. As a Maid, one must be capable of fighting.]

[……I see…… The heck is a maid……]

Even though it looked like she had given up thinking, I completely agree with Akane-san’s tsukkomi. A battle royale right from the start……

[Ahhh, by the way, the participants had already picked out lots to choose their groups…… I’m in Group 6, and Lunamaria-san is in group 2. Incidentally, the Super Maids and the Overall Top 8 participants are exempt from the qualifying rounds.]

[……But if they’re competing on the basis of combat power, Luna-san has a good chance of winning, right?]

[Right. If it’s Luna, she shouldn’t lose against most opponents…… However, some of the participants were on the level of Peerage-holders, so she has to be careful……]

There are also some of them with the strength on the level of Peerage-holders huh…… The more I hear about them, the scarier they become. Maids, I mean.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……What in the world are maids……]
