Maid Will Go On Through Thick And Thin! Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Are those people approaching enemy or ally? In the first place is there even the chance for peaceful conversation? After talking, will they try to parasite off us who have relatively high living standards? etc, various doubts whirled around inside my mind, but if the time comes, I am to be carried away by Ketorami-san and escape, so there is not much I can do.
….just stay hidden
And after waiting patiently.
“Could it be, Suzumoto-kun!?”
A girl among the people approaching suddenly shouted.
“……err”
But on the other hand, it seems like Suzumoto does not remember her name.
This part of him makes me feel strangely close to him.
“Look! It’s me, Minehara Ai!”
But that girl……seems to be Minehara-san, that Minehara-san favourably interpreted it as him not being able to tell since she was wearing a hood, she took off her hood and gave her name. Hm, quite a beautiful girl.
Thanks to that, although vaguely, Suzumoto seems to have remembered her.
“Aah, Minehara-san. Long time not see.”
Suzumoto observed her while giving a business smile.
He looks extremely friendly, but his hand is at a position where he can draw his sword at any moment.
“It really has been a long time! Are you well?”
Even the way she rushed over was cute, Minehara-san grabbed Suzumoto’s hand and shook it up and down.
“Well, so-so I guess. Your side……seems to have a lot of people that don’t look very well.”
Although Minehara-san and a few others are just slightly worn out, the others look pretty bad. They’re pale and expressionless.
“Mhm……we have no food or a safe place, and on top of that we’ve been fighting all this time.”
Ho—h. It’s not like I won’t consider sharing some food. We still have a bunch of boar meat.
……nn? Hagasaki-kun poked Suzumoto’s back for some reason. What could that be for?
“That must have been tough.”
Suzumoto casually shook off her hand and took a step back.
And before Minehara-san could respond to that, walls of earth and ice surrounded Minehara-san.
“Kya! What!?”
“Ketorami-san! Please run! Those people behind, they’re strange! They’re moving even though they’re [Unconcious]!”
……eh? What?

Ketorami-san properly followed the order and ran off with me on his back, so I don’t know what happened afterwards.

……..when mc not present…

All I can say it, when we came back in the morning, there was Minehara-san and a few other girls rummaging through the food and clothes in the lab, an emotionless Suzumoto and everyone else collapsed on the ground, covered in wounds.
Explanation, plea—zu……

now what

I, I don’t know what happened, but for now I need to get information.
Fi, first let’s listen carefully. ……but at this distance there is no way I can hear anything.
It’ll just be a repeat of what happened to them if I went in openly.
Actually, even though they were quite strong, they lost.
If I charged into this, won’t I die quite easily?
……that aside, I want to get information somehow.
There’s the option of getting Ketorami-san to look and tell me, but that way I won’t be able to understand any details.
Err……errr……
Mh—m, if o—nly I could borrow Ketorami-san’s senses.
As I was stumped, Ketorami lowered me onto the ground and pushed his snout towards me.
Correction. He pushed it towards my face. Actually, he poked my face with his nose a few times.
“Wh, what is it Ketorami-san?”
As I was becoming more and more confused, he made a face like [Put your forehead to mine], so I touched my forehead to his.
And.
“U, wa”
There was a sudden feeling of something flowing out from inside me……and, in exchange, a terrifying amount of information……sight, hearing, touch, all those and more, rushed into me at once.
bam
My thoughts stopped with the excessively enormous amount of information.
‘Oi, you okay? Right now you are sharing senses with me.’
The voice that suddenly rang out in my head was a low, clear voice of a male.
As I was even more confused by the unfamiliar sensation of having an unknown voice speak directly into my head, Ketorami drew his forehead away.
“…..hey, was that, Ketorami?”
He made a face like ‘You’re slow’.
“That was, Ketorami.”
“Stop whining, we’re going again”, he made a……no, I heard a voice.
“You spospospospoke!”
He spoke! He spoke! This guy spoke!
A dream? Is this a dream? No, but this is another world.
Then a wolf speaking should be, you might think that, but but but!
“With that, a pa.s.s should’ve been formed between us. Do you get it? We’re gonna go again. Use my ears. Since we’ll be sharing senses, you should be able to get the information entering my ears if you look for it.”
‘Eh, wa, it”
What’s a pa.s.s, or, what are you, or, my head was a mess with all that, but he ignored that and just touched his forehead to mine.
And h.e.l.lo enormous amount of information.
And good bye consciousness……I somehow avoided that. I somehow held on.
Somehow moving my frozen thoughts, plus force of will or something, I looked for [Sound].
The sound I can hear from my ears, the sound of Ketorami and my heartbeats, and beyond that, much further beyond, I could hear clear sounds.
Forcibly bringing my consciousness towards it, I somehow brought it into focus, and when I concentrated, I could hear people’s voices.
……okay, it’s Minehara-san’s voice.

“He—y, how about this one-piece, isn’t it cu—te?”
“A–h Ai-chan looks go—od!”
“I can take it ri—ght?”
“Go ahe—ad, these people are Ai-chan’s things anywa—y, and boys don’t wear one-piece dresses eithe—r.”
…how about suspecting why there’s a dress?
I could not maintain my concentration any longer and withdrew.
Pulling my forehead away from Ketorami, I finally [Returned].
It seems like this took away a bunch of my MP. This is bad, my head is spinning.
It wouldn’t be funny if I ran out of mana in enemy occupied territory.
I don’t have MP recovery herbs on hand either.
……it’s fine, until my headache settles down……until my MP recovers a little, I’ll focus on deductions.

maidsherlock

First, those people, they said something interesting. [These people are Ai-chan’s things anyway], what could that mean?
……mh—m, thinking about it, normally it would be because of some skill Minehara-san has.
With that skill, she did something to the majority of people who were in the information room and Suzumoto.
How……mh—m, ah, that.
Menihara-san held Suzumoto’s hand at the start.
There was direct physical contact. Okay, this might not be the reason, but something to be on guard against.
The others probably fought, and are unconscious……feels like that.
It is still easier to think of it as they were beaten one-sidedly.
……ah, oh yeah. President said it. [They are moving even though they are unconscious]. Hm, so what does that mean?
President must have [Appraised] them.
From the result, he could tell that those emotionless—es were unconscious.
Just unconscious, he didn’t say they were dead, so rather than a [Necromancer], Minehara-san is more likely to be a [Animal Trainer], [Slave Trader] or [Brainwasher]……I guess something like that? No, it’s still just wishful thinking though.

hope its right

……okay, my MP somehow recovered.
I think I can go one more time. I touched my forehead with Ketorami’s again.
Okay h.e.l.lo, enormous amount of the rest ommitted.
Even so, I’ve gotten more used to it than before. I succeeded in tapping into Ketorami’s hearing faster than before.
“He—y, this is ni—ce! It’s swe—et! What is thi—s?”
Isn’t that probably the jam or candy?
“Wai—t, isn’t that dangerous, just eating like tha—t.”
A—h dammit, I should’ve mixed deadly poison into the candy!
“That’s ri—ght, we need to do a poison test! Here, Suzumoto-kun, A—hn.”
“Ahaha, cute~!”
“Looks like there’s no poiso—n.”
Oi stop, don’t use my master to test for poison you b.i.t.c.h.
doesnt have have
……and, at about this point my MP ran out and I withdrew.
My headache is worse than before.
My head is spinning.
Feels horrible……there’s nothing in my stomach to even vomit……
But, this is bad. My condition is very bad, even though we are in a huge pinch, but more importantly, I can’t control my anger.
Ketorami seems to be the same on that point, he has on a terrifying look. Since he’s face was scary in the first place, it’s all the more terrifying.
set ketorami on them!
Now then, until my MP recovered, I should check my dog tag.
Kind of as expected, my skills increased. [Share].
Is it this? Was that thing with Ketorami my skill?
It’s probably a skill for sharing senses or something, exactly as it says.
It’s at these times that I just happen to be able to get skills.
But the MP consumption is terrible.

limitation

But, even if I got information, there is dreadfully little things I can do.
1 is to set Ketorami-san on them.
This is dangerous to Ketorami-san and there is also the worst possibility of mistakenly attacking everyone who is in some unknown condition.
2 is I somehow convince Minehara-san……an impossible plan.
And 3.
Develop a new skill like when I encountered Ketorami-san.
……you know, a maid’s job, is to perfectly provide a comfortable life for the master, then again, I also think protecting the house and the master is a maid’s job.
So, that is part of my, a maid’s, job.
Thus I think I can get a new skill or two for that.

the end

Yes this series has very convenient plot armour, but please make some allowances for the maid~
