Maid Will Go On Through Thick And Thin! Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Okay. Since I’m done with treating everyone who was collapsed with injuries, the problem is Suzumoto.
I knocked out Minehara-san, but he is still expressionless. His eyes are dead.
Mh—m, what do do.
……first I need to figure out what kind of situation he is in.
Since they were [moving even though they are unconscious], Suzumoto should be unconscious right now.
Which means Suzumoto’s consciousness went off somewhere.
Which would be……deep inside, I guess.
Mhm. I just got this skill. Let’s try using it again.
Even if it turns out badly, Ketorami or the others can probably do something about it.
Okay. [Share].
share what?
Okay h.e.l.lo, enormous amount of information.
Oh, it feels, a lot easier than when [Sharing] with Ketorami.
Is it worse if its between difference species?
For now, let’s look for his [Consciousness].
and drag it out!
……e—r, where is it? [Consciousness].
Actually, what is [Consciousness]?
When I did it with Ketorami, Ketorami spoke to me. So I could tell that Ketorami was there but……ah, I just need to call out?
“O—i Suzumoto—.”
……no response. Now then, what to do.
Since there was nothing else I could do, I just kept looking around and calling out.
After searching around for a few minutes. The result of looking around while recovering MP a few times, among various pieces of information, I finally found something like it.
Buried in the various pieces of information, Suzumoto was sleeping.
“Ora, wake up.”
I tried shaking him, but he won’t wake up.
“Wake up.”
I finally resorted to kicking him, but he won’t wake up.
……what should I do.

stab him?

Nothing will be solved like this, so I tried examining Suzumoto and noticed a thin thread that seemed to be coming out from around Suzumoto’s hand.
This, could this be the [Pa.s.s] thing?
As I tried poking and pulling at the thread, Suzumoto showed signs of waking.
Then, if I sever this will he wake up?
I tried pulling it apart with my hands, but it didn’t feel like I could break it that way, so I bit it apart with my canines.
And at that instant.
Each and every piece of information connected, formed meaning and the amount of information increased all at once and I could not process it, so I withdrew.
easier bcos deded
When I opened my eyes, Suzumoto had stiffened in surprise with his face quite close to mine.
“Ah, err, morning.”
“Who are you…..Maito?”
Ah, oh yeah. I was still a blue eyed white person (blonde).
Err, mirror.
Since there was a mirror in the lab made from a silver mirror reaction experiment, I used that to return to normal.
After the mysterious light, I was back to normal. Iya—, I really don’t understand how skills work.
“Oi, Maito…..what the h.e.l.l is that?”
Mhm, I don’t understand how it works either.

but hey it works

“I lost consciousness in the middle, what happened? Why are you, who we let escape, here?”
“Mhm. First, take a look at this.”
I shoved the door open and showed him Minehara-san and the girls which are still unconscious and Ketorami who is watching over them.
“How did it become like this?”
“Now now, I want to explain that, but the others still haven’t woken up. Did Minehara-san also do something to the others?”
I had tried shaking them a little, but they wouldn’t wake up.
“No, not particularly, at least before I lost consciousness in the middle.”
Ah, then there is a chance she did something after that.
Okay. Then I’ll go [Share] and wake them up again.
The closest one was Hariu, so forehead touch.
kotsun
The information is in pieces as expected.
Is it that? When sleeping the amount of information becomes lesser and increases by a ridiculous amount when they wake up?
And as expected, I found a sleeping Hariu.
“Wake up.”
When I kicked him awake, it seems he woke up just like that and the amount of information increased, so I withdrew quickly again.
before the headache com
“Uwah!”
When I opened my eyes, there was Hariu who had backed off a few steps in surprise.
“The instant I opened my eyes Maito-san was ridiculously close, that was scary—.”
It seems his heart was still thumping but that’s not my problem.
After that I woke up everyone the same way and of course they all showed varied cruel responses.
The worst was Hagasaki-kun, the instant he opened his eyes he punched me.
He healed me afterwards but that’s cruel.
According to him, “It’s your fault! What was that!? Are you an idiot!? There are other ways you know!?”. Incomprehensible.

horrible guy

And so since everyone woke up, it’s time for breakfast again. Ah, of course I didn’t put in poison.
During the meal, I listened to what happened after I escaped. Hariu was the one that explained.
“A—h mhm, how to sta—rt, right after Maito escaped, the rest of the people that were in the information room, excluding Minehara-san, attacked us. President made a wall to defend, but then this time Suzumoto suddenly attacked us.”
“I, attacked you guys!?”
It seems that was just when Suzumoto lost consciousness.
“Sorry.”
“A—h no, it’s not Suzumoto’s fault. So, then, it’s not like we could fight you know? It became a one-sided defensive battle, then the wall was broken……after that my consciousness was hazy and I don’t remember much.”
Everyone seemed to be like that, so we are not sure what exactly happened.
Well, can’t be helped. At worst we could ask Minehara-san.

interrogate?

“So, you…..what did you do this time.”
What do you mean this time, that’s rude.
But, well, I guess I should explain.
When I finished explaining they worshiped me. Fuhahahahahaha, feels good! Even a maid can do it sometimes!
the cult begins
Then I got late permission from President.
“……and so I used a bottle of President’s poison. Sorry.”
“Ah, I don’t mind that at all. At most, I would like some data though.”
“A—h, sorry, I already cleaned it up……it was too grotesque and disgusting.”
It was kind of that after all. If I didn’t clean it up, we wouldn’t be able to have a meal here.
For now I explained what it was like and that alone was useful apparently. Something like, he can’t really do human experimentation.
Well, of cou—rse.
Ah, just in case, I got rid of all the utensils used by Munehara-san’s group. There is plenty of chance that the poison humbly made by President would stay even after being washed…… And it somehow felt disgusting too…..
“Wait wait wait. Oi, don’t go off talking about the poison. I’m more curious about [Share].”
Well, even if you say that.
“Haven’t you all just experienced it?”
Saying that, it can’t be helped, so I also explained it roughly, and they made strange faces.
“Doesn’t that mean you’re free to invade our privacy?”
Hagasaki-kun’s stare stabbed into me.
“I don’t have the energy for that! If I mess up, I’ll short out!”
Even when I explained that feeling of h.e.l.lo terrifying amount of information, goodbye consciousness, they didn’t seem to understand, but when I told them for now that the MP consumption is horrible, they calmed down, saying I probably won’t use abuse it that much.
Because, I, am weak.
They were relieved because I don’t even have much MP.
Horrible.

true

“Nn? Come to think of it, what was Minehara-san’s profession?”
……I didn’t check.
And so, time to check.
Since the dog tag was hung around her neck and kept within her collar, I stuck my hand in through her collar and pulled it out.
……everyone is making strange faces.
Don’t make that face. We’re both girls. Isn’t it fine? It’s not like Minehara-san is that large either……
…..savage
And so, check.
……ho—h. [Puppeteer].
I see, I get it I get it.
Ah, I should check the skills too.
The dog tag reflects light is hard to read. Bending over and looking at it in my shadow makes it easier to see.
……ah. It’s this.
“There’s [Puppet Manipulation]”
And there’s also [Puppetise]……as I was thinking that, my own dog tag slipped out from my collar.
With the sound of metal hitting metal, there was the mysterious light for some reason.
And, the mysterious light ended with nothing happening.
……what was, that?
“Oi, did something shine just now? What was that?”
“No idea……aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!?”
Ho, how could it be.
On my dog tag, the skill……[Puppet Manipulation] was added on!
Wa, wait a moment. I checked Minehara-san’s dog tag……hm? Nothing is gone? Nothing was added on either. Hmm? What’s this?

cheet

I explained the situation to everyone.
“That……wasn’t it because you said the name of that skill?”
Hou. If it is as Kadomi-kun says, then by knocking the dog tags together while saying the skill name, that skill will be added on?
“It’s worth a try. Oka—y. [Puppetise].”
I tried knock the dog tags together, but nothing happened.
I tried dropping one on the other, no change.
“How about trying other skills?”
Okay, then this one.
“[Puppet Making]……ah, it got added on.”
On my dog tag, [Puppet Making] was added on.
And nothing was added on or removed from Minehara-san’s dog tag.
……ho—h?

mystery

The result of repeated experimentation after that was that it couldn’t be done with other dog tags.
I think it’s probably a boon of the [Share] skill.
If there was a [Steal] skill, it might be able to steal the skill from the person who had it though.
And even with my dog tag, there are skills that can be obtained and there are skills that can’t.
……it’s probably, that. Apt.i.tude or something should be involved.
not that op then
In the end, I could only get [Puppet Manipulation] and [Puppet Making] from Minehara-san’s dog tag.
But, from a dog tag of a girl in Minehara-san’s group, I succeeded in getting [Fire Magic]!
Ha—h, this might be the best gain from this. If we ran out of our rechargable lighter, lighters and matches, we wouldn’t be able to light a fire.
And from President I got [Far Sight], from Hariu [Night Vision] and from Toriumi [Handiness].
Thank you thank you.
……as you can guess, I wasn’t able to get any others.
I would like to equip a sword or something……but that’s impossible as expected.

it is not fated to be

Now then. Even if we leave Minehara-san and the girls alone, the expressionless—es are a bit too pitiful to ifnore.
……with MP recovery tea on hand, start, [Share].
Like with Suzumoto, I found the [Pa.s.s]-looking thing, broke it and woke them up one by one.
I am slowly getting used to it, but what’s tough is still tough.
My head is spinning……

peace

Once I finished returning the 13 expressionless—es to normal, they were super super thankful.
According to them, even though they weren’t conscious, they can somewhat remember what state they were in.
What a significant difference from Suzumoto. That guy didn’t remember anything……ah, I see.
Suzumoto was made to do something horrible like attacking everyone else, so of course he wouldn’t want to remember that. A—h, mhm, sorry.
it’s okay to block traumas
Those who were emotionless—es apparently weren’t able to eat a proper meal, so they were in a state of malnutrition. That’s why they looked bad.
I couldn’t stand seeing that, so I treated them lunch.
Lunch is porridge cooked with thinly sliced vegetables.
Their condition will only get worse if something hard to digest suddenly entered their stomach.

generous

“So, Saegusa-kun, what’ll you do with Minehara-san and the girls?”
Ah, Saegusa-kun would be one of those who were the expressionless—es.
Since we were in the same cla.s.s, he is at least an acquaintance.
“Honestly I don’t really want to be with them anymore. It would be bad if they did something again. But it’s not like we can push them onto you……”
Yes, right now, we are seriously troubled on what to do about Minehara-san and her three followers.
If we leave them like that, it’s clear that they will do something again, but we cannot bring ourselves to kill them.
……what, a pain……
mendokusai~
Basically, it’s fine if Minehara-san can’t use her skills.
It would be nice if we could do something like make the skill itself disappear, make the skill unable to activate or make the MP needed to activate skills disappear.
Mh—m……ah, ma, maybe!

I prepared my feather duster.
I took out Minehara-san’s dog tag.
I pofu pofu’ed it.
……mysterious light.
Check.
……[Puppetise], disappeared.
……ah, my feather duster, is most definitely not some legendary weapon.
Isn’t this more of cheat-cla.s.s?
……and as I thought that, that wasn’t true!
The feeling of MP suddenly being taken away a.s.saulted me right afterwards, and, my consciousness dimmed…..
This is already standard, isn’t, it?

the end

Update: changed Toriumi’s [Skillful] to [Handiness]. More accurate.
Wth is skillful supposed to be. I would actually prefer to translate it as dexterous if there wasn’t already another skill which more directly means dexterity.
